19. Best Partner (1)
All elite agent-level enemies boast incredible reaction speed and accuracy.
Their accuracy even continues to increase after spotting the enemy (player).
This realistically reflects the fact that accuracy increases with long-term observation.
So, if the battle with them continues, the player will be in infinite trouble.
They had to be killed immediately upon discovery, or at least within one or two shots.
Kkakdugi’s failure was that he didn’t think that the first enemy he shot at would not be dead, so he just turned his aim to the next target.
By the time I had dealt with two or three other targets, the first enemy that had fallen had already gotten up and had finished aiming.
In a way, getting a headshot with a single shot was a predetermined future.
“….”
Kkakdugi, who has arrived at the determined future, looks at the black screen with dumbfounded eyes.
‘Can’t we just play one more round?’
When he tried to get revenge on Almond at Zombie School, he was cut to pieces with a single knife and became a laughing stock.
I tried to get revenge with Hitman’s score, but this time I got cut at the entrance and became a laughing stock.
smart.
Outside, they keep pounding on the capsules.
“Now~ Challenger~ You have to come out~ The challenge is only once~ Just once~ Whoa whoy~ Come out~ Come out~”
– LOL
– Come out, kkakdugi haha
– Accept your skills,
“Woi~ Come out~ Come out~” “If you can’t do it, it’s a no-brainer game.”
For now, the employee remained expressionless.
If I keep holding on like this any longer, I feel like I’m really going to throw salt on myself.
Chi profit.
Open the lid and put your hands together.
“ah. I really shouldn’t do it one more time—”
──Chuck.
The kkakdugi eventually had to come out of the capsule as the employee took out the white crystal powder.
“I’m going out.”
-You’re making kimchi anyway, so are you afraid of salt? Just do one more round!
-Let’s get kkajitgeo kimchi made one more time
, Ddgi-ya -Ah hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
– It’s not salt, it’s sugar, isn’t it from the stew room? Haha,
the fans were also disappointed.
Because they made a mistake that seemed so meaningless that they lost the opportunity.
“I’ll stand in line again and try. ah. This is such a waste….”
-A waste?
-I
don’t know what it’s
a waste.
however….
“…?!”
The line was much longer than before.
“What the hell is this…”
Just looking at it, if you wait for all of this, you will not have time to do other challenges. Then, you will end up losing out in today’s challenge point ranking competition.
-ㅁㅊ What’s the line
? -Hey, it’s a hot place.
It’s a hot place. -Why are the kids so cool?
-If you want to stand in line again, please contact us via DM (joined hands) (joined hands)
Kkakdugi shook his head as he saw the line full of people regardless of gender or age. .
“oh my. I’ll just let the heat cool down~”
* * *
While some people shook their heads while looking at the line, others nodded as if they were very satisfied.
“Hahahahaha!”
The protagonist who achieved this contract with Almond despite losing all challenge points.
This is Jeong Min-cheol, the public relations manager in charge of G-Star!
“saw? uh? saw? “Did you see this line!?”
He grabbed the employees who had lost their souls and started talking excitedly.
Every time that happened, the employees’ spirits only grew fainter.
Nevertheless, Manager Jeong did not care about such things.
He immediately went back into the conference room and found the Almond contract.
“hey. Take out that almond contract. Even a copy is fine. “I just want to check the contents.”
He checked the contents of the contract brought by the employee, one by one.
“Promotional materials during the contract period… promotional materials…”
Normally, if you were selected as an advertising model, your face had to be included in all promotional materials, not just video advertisements.
This is something that should naturally be written in the advertising model contract.
“….”
But there isn’t one.
“What is it?”
ah. Unbelievable.
Now that I think about it, it is not an exclusive model, but a video advertisement model contract.
That was natural.
In order to save costs, the contract was made with only one video advertisement.
“…ah. right.”
Manager Jeong scratched his chin and thought.
“Can’t I just use it?”
I’m currently trying to make an almond challenge poster. What would happen if I just used the name Almond?
Suddenly Joo Hyuk’s sparkling rimless glasses passed by Manager Jeong’s head.
‘Ugh. Can not be done. no.’
It feels like something is being cut with a knife.
It will definitely take four months.
Beyond the legal issues, the company’s image will quickly fall into ruin.
You became famous thanks to almonds and then created controversy over something like this?
Even from Director Jeong’s own words, this is quite scandalous.
“ha. “What is this?”
Manager Jeong pulled out his hair.
In things like this, timing is everything. I don’t know when this heat will subside.
“Shall we contact the CEO? “If you explain the current situation, we may be able to provide additional support.”
Assistant Manager Park was worried about the challenge point when Almond first arrived.
It was his suggestion.
“…Really? okay. Let’s at least say something. The CEO has a cool style. “It might work.”
Change the advertising video model proposal to an exclusive model proposal.
To do so, a huge increase in cost is inevitable, and the only way to do that is to row on the currently incoming water?
It was also possible to launch an aircraft carrier.
“But no matter how cool you are… you are the CEO. Hmm….”
There is such a thing as the representative’s position.
First of all, as someone who has to pay money to employees, I have no choice but to be sensitive to the company’s financial issues.
If you suddenly wanted to ask for money that wasn’t planned, you naturally needed more persuasive power.
First of all, it was important to prepare so that one could properly feel the heat of the scene.
“Deputy Park. Send me all the photos and videos of the scene here. And in the interview on G-Star’s official channel, I discarded everything that mentioned almonds.
“yes. But…”
“I will keep track of things like mentions and views on the internet.”
“Yes, but…”
“And what else is there?”
“That manager?!”
Manager Jeong can finally hear what he said.
“uh? why?”
“Someone has already sorted that out.”
“…what?”
Assistant Manager Park held up his cell phone screen.
What appeared there was none other than an AllTube video.
[challenge? Is that something only insiders do?]
It was a video that was uploaded an hour ago.
When I tuned in, I saw that not only had all of the interviews about challenging Almond on G-Star’s official live been edited out, but the current situation at the Hitman booth was also summarized.
But there was some… sickening editing involved.
It’s said that the story is told by an AI voice with a strange tone of voice.
[Gamers flocked like dogs from the morning to break the record of the evil insider nut! They couldn’t even step on the afterimage of this evil Inssa Shack Almond!]
Sigh!
The scene changes as the almond photo keeps passing by, creating an afterimage.
[Are only insiders able to become elite agents?! Aren’t justice nerd gamers even able to chase afterimages of the evil insider villain Almond!?]
At the end, the scene where Almond drinks coffee is inserted in very low quality.
[This evil insider drinks coffee leisurely in the morning! While having fun greeting super-beauties! I showed off my spirit of defeating the Assas! As expected, only insiders do challenges!?]
The video ends with a voice that seems to be screaming.
Manager Jeong asks while laughing.
“Is this the official channel?”
“No. Actually, not a single video taken by Almond is shown. And the Almond channel doesn’t do cheap editing like this.”
“Then what is this guy doing?”
“I guess he’s just a fan. “I sometimes make almond fan videos.”
[Macaron]
The channel name is Macaron.
Looking at the video list, there is something like this.
[Popular Upload]
[The most beautiful woman in the province happened to fall in love with a nut, not a human?!]
[1.789 million]
It was a video depicting (?) her first meeting with Jessie when she was playing Civil Empire.
Manager Jeong clicks on the video without thinking about it and watches it all as if he is fascinated.
“My Jessie-chan….”
And my true feelings came out without me even knowing.
“…yes?”
Manager Jeong blushes as Assistant Manager Park tilts his head.
Out of embarrassment, he immediately orders work.
“Kuk khum… Anyway! I think the video material from earlier will convince you. Because it contains the G-Star official clip. I’ll contact the representative and come back. “You guys get ready to go right in.”
“yes!”
Manager Jeong takes his cell phone out for a moment.
* * *
It didn’t take that long.
As the manager said, the CEO had a cool personality.
“what?! Stand in line!? At our booth!? Do something right now! “I’ll give you money!”
Actually, I don’t think there was any need for video material. I’ve made several great games in the past, but this is the first time I’ve received a lot of attention.
You are extremely excited.
Finally, they think that the astronomical amounts of money that other game companies are making are available to them as well.
The same goes for Manager Jeong. In a startup like this, he was the person who ran the sales department from the beginning.
Sharing good fortune with a company is not much different from being a CEO.
Manager Jeong, unable to control his heart pounding, runs into the conference room and uppercuts the air.
“Yes!”
Hung!
“Yes!”
Hung!
“Yeaaaass!”
Hung Hung!
After performing a four fist combo in the air alone.
“after.”
I entered the conference room in a calmer state and immediately called Almond’s manager.

The handsome young man standing in front of Sanghyeon smiled.
“Ah, Almond. “Have you ever thought about it?”
Although his smile was very commercial, he was a young man with a good impression that made you feel good even knowing that.
This person is from Naver Entertainment… who was he? Sanghyeon forgot the name he just introduced.
That’s why I had no interest in going this way.
“ah. no. I didn’t really think about it any more. “I was busy with many things.”
There’s no way the other side can’t read the atmosphere, but they keep trying to stick together.
“Oh, I see. It’s worth it. He is a streamer whose recent growth rate is in the top three. haha. “We also manage that data.”
“Ah…”
“Maybe that’s why, if you’ll excuse me, I unintentionally found out a little bit about this issue. In fact, we are always keeping an eye on Almond.”
haha! A young man smiling and smoothing his hair.
“Issue?”
“yes. This time, there is a controversy regarding challenge points. I am confident that if it had been us, we could have resolved the issue more smoothly. No, there would have been no room for misunderstanding in the first place. “We have considerable know-how in crisis management.”
A young man naturally sits in the front seat while saying…
Do these guys get some kind of big incentive when they recruit them?
Overly passionate. Of course, it’s a good thing for a salaryman to do something passionately, but it seems like a passionate adolescent boy with more motivation is confessing…
‘Let’s answer briefly and send it on.’
Sanghyun wondered how to gently remove this person.
“I know that the issue is being resolved in the end. It’s better not to take that risk in the first place. “It’s not something you can do for a day or two, but there’s no way that risks won’t arise at any time.”
Sanghyun responded by wiping his mouth with a napkin.
“I’m a consequentialist. “I think it’s okay because the results are good.”
“Oh yeah. However, we judged that the risk was greater than the resulting return. “It’s not something that will only produce results once.”
“Return… I’m satisfied with being an advertising model.”
“You have to be an exclusive model rather than an advertising model to be considered commensurate with the risk of damaging Almond’s image.”
“Exclusive model…?”
“It is a model that represents the game. “The pay is also completely different.”
Sanghyun also knows what an exclusive model is.
I just said it because I was dumbfounded.
Exclusive models are not just celebrities, but top-level celebrities.
“Ah, of course! It’s just our judgment. Streamers’ opinions are our top priority, but what we do is knowing this data and what we do without it. There is a difference. haha.”
There was nothing wrong with what Lee Ja said.
As I listened to it, I realized that it was all true. It’s hard to refute it.
Especially because Sanghyun wasn’t the type of person to talk to.
‘Still, there’s something I don’t like.’
The only reason I can refute it is because I just don’t like you! At this point, there are few options left other than shouting.
Jiiiing. Jiiiing.
I get a call from an unfamiliar number.
Normally, I don’t answer unfamiliar numbers, but Sanghyun got up and left the room.
“It’s an urgent call.”
“Oh yeah. of course. “Can I bring you some more coffee?”
Sanghyeon smiled at his kindness, nodded, and put the phone to his ear.
“hello.”
-ah. Sanghyun Yoo… So, you are Almond, right? This is Jeong Min-cheol, manager of the Hitman Public Relations Department.
“Ah yes.”
-The manager is not answering the phone right now, but it was so urgent that I risked my rudeness to contact him. Could we talk a little longer?
“yes. “Please tell me the way.”
-yes. Thank you. This is a story about an exclusive model proposal.
Sanghyun’s eyes opened brightly at that.
Didn’t that bastard’s exclusive model do something earlier?
