A truly fatal temptation
Kishin arrived in Shanghai, China by plane. In the evening, he and Youngho had a quick beer and talked about Geumchang, whom he would meet tomorrow. Geumchang is an agent who has a wide network of connections in China, Italy, and some European countries, and has been very successful by taking advantage of the soccer boom that started a few years ago.
“He said that since Geumchang can receive at least 10 million won in annual salary after taxes, it would be better to terminate the contract with the agent and sign a contract with him. Geumchang is not really the head, but a long-term partner who plays below him, but in China, he is the king.”
“What’s the exchange rate these days? Is 10 million won 1.8 billion won or 1.9 billion won?”
“Why is your distribution still that small? Well, even the UK is only a small country. You have to live in a big country like China or the US to have a distribution as big as mine. Ten million euros.”
“One hundred thirty billion?”
As Kisin let the beer drip down his lips, Youngho leisurely handed him a tissue. Kisin’s hand, which had wiped the beer, unconsciously reached for the beer glass.
“Wait a minute, listen to me first and then drink your beer. I mean, you’re going to spit it in my face.”
Kishin noticed that there was something more to Choi Young-ho’s proud speech.
“Our major shareholder used his power to dig up some information from within the club. The Hwaha team is thinking of getting up to 30 million.”
39 billion, no, 40 billion won in annual salary. When did you care about 1 billion won and such? Kishin roughly stroked his cheek with both hands and asked Youngho.
“How many cases of beer have I had? Why am I drunk already?”
“Second glass, Inma. Come to your senses.”
“But do I really have to change my agent? My current agent is a former lawyer and is really good at negotiating.”
“Chinese clubs are like nouveau riche these days. They have a lot of money, but they don’t know how to spend it. The club scouts don’t have any expertise at all. If you want to buy good players or mercenaries, you have to go through Jinchang. If you negotiate without Jinchang, the club won’t accept it. You can’t go against his wishes for the time being.”
“Why is a single agent acting so powerful?”
“Ho-ga-ho-wi. Those who invest in soccer these days are all trying to please the top leader of Chungnamhae, who is famous for being a soccer fan. If their team wins the Champions League, they get a green light for business licenses and other things. Don’t you think it’s stupid to pour nearly 200 billion won into a team every year? They do it because they can make more profit.”
“How do I look in China? Honestly, I can’t believe they’re investing 30 million euros in a kid like me.”
“Do you know Lippi, the Chinese national team coach? It’s not the Football Association that pays Lippi’s salary, but the Guangzhou Evergrande team. They brought him in as their own team coach and then put him in the national team coach position, saying he’s serving the country. The club pays his salary. The Hebei kids are trying to imitate the Guangzhou kids. And a high-ranking official said at an official event that they wished China had a great coach like him.”
As Kisin blinked, not knowing what he was talking about, Youngho shook his head as if he was shocked.
“How can a football coach be less interested in football than I am? Lippi won the Asian Champions League twice before. That’s why he became the national team coach because he knows Asian football well. Right now, the Chinese team is in fourth place in the league. If you win the championship in the remaining half season or win the Asian Champions League next year, you will become the national team coach. In particular, you are known for being good at commanding the field and nurturing young players. That’s why Chinese clubs are trying to get you. Other clubs have good coaches, so they are not as urgent as the Hebei kids. In half a year, you could receive more than 30 million euros.”
The magic time may end in half a year. It may be a way to extend the magic time by becoming a manager in China, where the number of league games is only 30. My childhood dream was shattered by a 40 billion won annual salary.
Since it was a special turning point, DPP could not interfere. That is why the ‘childhood dream’ that had influenced Kishin’s actions was gradually fading away. However, Kishin, who was distracted by the magical number of 40 billion, did not notice anything strange.
### I am a strange dividing line ###
The god stopped the game and threw the console on the blanket. When he lost the game and reloaded, the character Kishin always played with new personnel and tactics. However, after 465 chances, he finally agreed to a contract with a Chinese club for 30 million euros. He did not sign the contract, but according to the help, the moment he signs the contract, he can no longer interfere with the character Kishin.
This means that there is no possibility of sending him back to England as the last DPP. The distraught Kishin stopped the game from working. This is the last chance, and if he agrees to the contract this time, he will have to part ways with Kishin, the character he has grown attached to. He can buy a new game console on the black market and play the game, but for some reason, Shingi does not want to do that.
After hiding the game console, Shingi went outside to relieve his mood. Yesterday, guests came from England to check on the exchange students. However, the blonde, blue-eyed beauty Shingi had been waiting for was not there. Since it was possible to study abroad starting from the third year anyway, Shingi soon lost interest in it because it had nothing to do with him.
“Oh, hello. My name is Elisa from England. I’ve been walking around without thinking, so I can’t tell where I am. Do you happen to know where the guest house is?”
“Yes. The building you see over there is the library. If you walk west from the library for about ten minutes, you will see the annex.”
Elisa is a Latin beauty with healthy curly hair, although she is not a blonde with blue eyes. In particular, her body is not comparable to that of the students of the Magic Academy. Elisa smiled brightly and asked for help from Shingi.
“I don’t know if I’ll ever meet someone as kind-hearted as you, Mr. Shingi. If it’s not too much trouble, could you show me around for a moment?”
Shingi nodded and guided Elisa to the annex. Elisa smiled seductively and offered to treat Shingi to a cup of tea in return. When he entered Elisa’s room, he could smell the strong scent of tea. Shingi thought it was a woman who enjoyed tea, so he passed it by lightly, but if he had thought that Elisa had arrived at the Magic Academy yesterday, he would have felt something strange.
While savoring the British Empire’s black tea, which was different from the Korean Empire’s tea, Shingi had a sinister thought. Elisa asked Shingi a question, thinking that perhaps this was the opportunity to become an adult.
“Mr. Shinki, have you ever replaced the batteries in your game console?”
“No, it’s not. I’ve used it for quite some time and the battery still has some life left. I’m amazed at the technological prowess of the British Empire.”
“Then where is the game console?”
“I hid it under the bed. I hung it with a thin thread, so it wouldn’t be easy to find if you didn’t know.”
### I am a strange dividing line ###
Kishin took off the game console and exhaled heavily. The meeting was to be held at the hotel’s coffee shop. There was only half an hour left until the meeting, and this was the last chance. As if possessed by something, he woke up at dawn to pee and played the game without eating until now.
Every time the game stops at that scene, it asks if you want to load the last save. When you reload, Elisa asks if you’ve ever changed the game console’s batteries. Shingi gives the same answer every time, and after those four lines of dialogue, it asks if you want to load the last save again.
When the number 923 changed to 1, Kishin stopped playing. He felt like something big was going to happen if he failed until the last chance. As he sat there blankly, there were only 15 minutes left until the appointment. It was a matter of 40 billion won in annual salary, and he felt like a fool for caring about the game.
“Okay, let’s use this last chance and focus on negotiations.”
Kishin, who had turned the game console over again, chose yes when asked if he wanted to load the most recent point in time. The screen went black, and Elisa’s question was heard.
“Mr. Shinki, have you ever replaced the batteries in your game console?”
When the viewpoint changed from the third person to the first person, Kishin was taken aback. Elisa, with her cheekbones sticking out and her lower lip unusually thick, was not the Elisa he had seen before. Her body was still outstanding, but her face was very unpleasant to Kishin’s aesthetic sense.
– Exposure to mental attack. Healing ability is activated. 2nd grade healing ability recovery is activated, restoring the player’s spirit.
– Recovery was successful. The opponent is confused. A new mental attack has begun. The player’s spirit is destroyed. The healing ability restores the spirit.
– The fiftieth recovery has been successful. The witch’s concentration is wavering. A new mental attack has begun. The healing ability restores the mind.
– The hundredth recovery was successful. The opponent uses all his strength to attack with a mind attack. Excellent. Player Kishin has overcome the mind attack of Europe’s greatest witch Elisa. Witch Elisa faints from the shock.
Kishin jumped up from his seat and stood in front of the half-length mirror. In the mirror, he saw the image of the seventeen-year-old Shinki.
“Damn, something was wrong. My childhood dream of becoming a soccer coach in England? My dream was to marry one of the Fin.K.L. sisters. I still haven’t decided who it will be though.”
Then a transparent bead appeared next to Elisha. The servant bent down and gave it to him.
– Obtained the Spirit Orb.
– I uncovered the secret of the witch. The witch is a spirit magician who has made a contract with a special spirit.
– The dark spirit that made a contract with the witch failed the mental attack and was destroyed. If you take the spirit stone, you will be able to make a contract with the spirit someday. I recommend taking it.
The spirit stone was as big as a fist, but when he put it in his mouth, it was sucked in. The spirit who took the spirit stone was surprised by his own actions. The spirit is not a coward, but he is relatively cautious. It was hard to understand why he would try to eat something that looked like glass.
After leaving the annex, Kishin took a few steps and then stopped. There was a sign indicating the direction, and at the top was written the words “Korean Empire Magic Academy.” While “Magic Academy” was written in Korean, “Korean Empire” was written in Chinese characters.
The four letters of the Great Han Empire (大漢帝國) made Kisin feel bad. Up until now, while playing the game, I thought it was the Great Han Empire (大韓帝國). Pyongyang was the capital and there was also the Kim family. So I didn’t think about anything else, but it’s more likely that Joseon was taken over by China rather than becoming stronger.
Kishin went to the library and borrowed books on geography and history. Kishin was astonished when he confirmed the truth of the world. He thought it was just a game, but he came to another world. Due to the invasion of monsters, the only countries that can be called nations now are the British Empire, the Korean Empire, Russia, Canada, Norway, Sweden, and Poland. Of these, the three Nordic countries are having a hard time surviving, so they are showing signs of trying to unite into one nation through intermarriage between their royal families.
The Korean Empire had five capitals. The first capital was Beijing, Pyongyang was the eastern capital, Xi’an was the western capital, Luoyang was the southern capital, and the northern capital was Turahara in Mongolian territory. Russia had the largest territory, the British Empire had the greatest magical power, and the Korean Empire had the largest army. After borrowing a few books related to history, Gishin arrived at the god’s room and began reading them. Fortunately, the official script of the Korean Empire was Chinese characters, but the most widely used script was Hangul. It was also modern Hangul, so there was no problem reading it.
