The Crown Prince in the Mang Game is Good at Idols - Chapter 204

# 204
Manager Hyung let out a sigh of relief after confirming that Kang Si-yoon’s condition had recovered.
“Please take good care of my security, Team Leader Hwang.”
“Just leave it to me.”
We had to go back to our accommodation because of our schedule for tomorrow.
However, Kang Si-yoon could not be discharged from the hospital yet because it was determined that he needed more stability.
So, just in case, we decided to leave a few security personnel at the hospital.
Manager Hyung tried hard to appease the youngest line who was expecting to return to the dorm with Kang Si-yoon.
“They said that Shiyoon’s flu symptoms haven’t completely improved yet. So if you take some medicine and rest here for a day, you’ll be completely better. Let’s just wait a little bit.”
“yes…….”
We got back into the van and headed back to our accommodation.
The atmosphere inside the car was still gloomy, but it felt a lot less heavy than before.
“Brother, when will we be moving to our accommodations?”
“I think we’ll have to wait until next week.”
Manager Hyung looked at Song Hyeong-bin through the rearview mirror.
“Are you worried that someone else might come?”
“Haha, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried.”
“Until you move, I’ll be staying with you in an empty room in your dorm, so don’t worry too much.”
“Eek―?”
The members were a little surprised to hear that their manager would be living with them for the time being.
“Even if you hate it so much, there’s nothing you can do. It’s a directive from the company. Just in case, I have to stay by your side no matter what.”
“I didn’t mean to dislike it. I was just worried that it might make you uncomfortable―”
“It’s okay. I survived that tough military service.”
So everyone returned to their accommodations together.
Manager Hyung left a message saying that he would stop by the house to get some clothes and daily necessities and then come back, then got back in the car and set off.
“… … Everyone worked hard today. Let’s get some rest.”
As Chae Eun-gyu said, it was a truly hectic day.
From the pre-recording of the music show to Kang Si-yoon fainting, it was a series of events that didn’t allow for a moment of relaxation.
As a result, the members collapsed in shock as soon as they entered the dorm.
I still had things to do.
“Hyungnim, good night… … .”
“Sleep well, Yubin.”
“yes.”
I said good night to Heo Yu-bin and turned off the lights in the room.
And instead of leaning my head on the pillow and falling asleep, I sat down on the edge of the bed and quietly brought up the system window.
‘Are there 10 lucky draw coins collected so far?’
Currently, the members’ condition is not very good.
Starting with the sasaeng who sent creepy gifts and notes to Song Hyung-bin, then the sasaeng who confronted me in front of our dorm, and then the crazy sasaeng who caused extreme fear in Kang Si-yoon, the members are in a state of psychological turmoil as they continue to appear.
A series of events that would naturally shake a normal person.
If it were normal, I would have told myself that time heals everything and waited for the members to naturally overcome this situation.
But Celeste has a lot on her plate.
In order to lead to a higher level, we must perfectly complete the 4th week activities.
After that, we have to start preparing for the year-end event as soon as this activity is over.
From various award ceremonies to the largest K-pop festival in Asia hosted by KNet, everything awaits us.
Barring any major changes, this year’s Rookie of the Year award will be ours.
To begin with, there aren’t many rookies who debuted this year, and there’s no group that can beat Celeste, who has set an all-time record.
Celeste is receiving huge expectations, so much so that she could go beyond the Rookie of the Year award and even aim for other major awards.
In short, the world’s attention is focused on us.
If we can’t show a good performance on the year-end stage in this situation, it will be a very painful situation.
In order to present a stage worthy of Celeste’s name, all members must maintain the best condition.
We don’t have time.
They say time heals all wounds, but it’s too soon to expect a cure.
Ultimately, this means that we have no choice but to rely on the power of the system.
I spoke to the system for the first time in a long time.
‘I have a favor to ask.’
[It’s been a while, Mr. Bing. What would you like to ask?]
I stared at the golden letters and took a moment to think about my words.
Judging by its behavior so far, this system is fundamentally designed to do what I want.
It was originally a system created by the god of , and since it was given to me directly as a reward, it was only natural that he would respond to my request.
However, the system was damaged due to the Demon King’s seed, and as a result, penalties that did not originally exist and devices that were harmful to me were forcibly created.
That is, the basic command of this system is to repair my wish.
That’s why, if you coax them and use threats that aren’t really threats, at first they will deny it, but soon they will give in and give you everything you want.
I also got ‘The Magician of Foreign Languages’ this way, and ‘The Idol of Estonia’ the same way.
There is a need to take the same gamble this time.
‘You know very well that I’m in a very difficult situation right now. I’ve been watching you from there.’
[Yes. I don’t know for sure, but I figured out the situation through the moment when the egos of the Iceman and the Crown Prince were strongly fused.]
‘Then you probably know what I’m going to say from now on.’
[I will move in a direction that will be of the utmost help to you―.]
‘This lucky draw coin, you know.’
I got right to the point before the system could finish the sentence.
After trying to threaten—or rather, verbally coax—the system a few times, I think I have a good idea of what works best.
‘As you know, in every game there is a system called . When you collect a certain number of certain materials, you can exchange them for the item you want.’
[There was a system like that. I’m good at it―.]
‘There was this exchange system even in the game you were born in called . For example, if you collected 200 heads of orc chieftains, you could exchange them for a werewolf heart. If you collected 100 werewolf hearts, you could obtain a dragon scale.’
I smiled slightly, bending forward.
The system’s face was obviously not visible, but it felt like I could clearly see it looking confused beyond the golden window.
‘You are the being created by the god of such games. Then, of course, wouldn’t it be natural for you to also provide me with this system? For example, a function that allows you to exchange a certain amount of Lucky Draw Coins for a desired item.’
[Mr. Bing, creating such a function is… … .]
‘Of course it is possible. If this function were impossible, you wouldn’t have even given me the opportunity to acquire additional skills. Am I wrong?’
[… … .]
‘If I wasn’t going to enjoy this privilege, I wouldn’t have even asked that old man to give me the system.’
I closed my eyes and shook my head.
The acting was much more natural than before.
‘Honestly, I didn’t know you could be this incompetent.’
For a moment the system seemed speechless.
Soon, golden text slowly appeared before my eyes.
[… … I understand, Mr. Bing-ui-ja. What you want is not to use Lucky Draw Coins in a gacha format, but to add a function that allows you to use them in . Is that correct?]
‘You managed to understand.’
[I hope you don’t ignore me so easily.]
The text of the system seemed to have a strange thorn in it.
Isn’t it? Is it a slightly hurt tone of voice with a hurt pride?
[Then, we will now begin the . The renewal will take some time, so please wait.]
A gear icon appeared in my system window.
It’s like looking at a cell phone update system.
‘I knew this would really work.’
I lay down on the bed and stared at the ceiling for a while.
Honestly, I didn’t know that the exchange feature would come into existence the way I wanted it to.
I was gambling on the fact that the system had met 100% of my demands so far, and it worked out perfectly.
What we’ve been asking for so far are skills that can be used in specific situations.
In other words, there was no problem even if the system did not pursue any significant changes and only issued simple sub-quests.
But this time, the demand was to spur change in the system itself.
It’s a different feeling from asking for one skill…
I didn’t expect you to accept this so readily.
‘As expected… … . The more damage I repair, the more it changes into the true system that the god of wanted to give me.’
The more I thought about it, the more I realized that it was a plausible prediction.
The old man, who obviously looked funny, said this.
There is no way that an error could suddenly occur in a system that you have put so much effort into creating.
A system imbued with the power of God would have tremendous power.
Even if I forcefully ask for something like now, the power to grant it all.
[System Damage Recovery: 20%]
Thanks to Celeste’s string of great achievements, I was able to clear the difficult achievements without any bloodshed.
As a rookie with only one year left, they have won two consecutive million-seller awards and numerous music show trophies.
Originally, it seemed like it would take a month to fill up the recovery level to 100% considering the basic quest rewards were cheap, but looking at the current pace, it seemed doable.
‘If I increase the recovery rate here, will my system continue to change for the better?’
The system is still quite capable today.
It’s a bit uncomfortable that he doesn’t grant my requests right away and keeps twitching like a middle schooler.
If the damage is further repaired here… … . it would be like obtaining the power of a god.
While I was thinking about this and that in my head, the system renewal was completed.
I immediately clicked on .
The existing gacha system remained the same.
One thing that has changed is that there is now a small arrow on the right side of the window where there used to be only a gacha machine.
When I pressed the arrow, the window immediately moved to the right, showing the newly created .
‘It really looks like this.’
A display case reminiscent of a convenience store.
The three-story display case was filled with all sorts of items.
Upon closer inspection, the cheapest item costs 2 Lucky Draw Coins, and the most expensive item costs 10 Lucky Draw Coins.
Also, there was a ‘Refresh’ button above the display case.
A system that allows you to view new products every two hours if the item you want is not available.
‘Really, it’s not much different from the stores that appear in regular games.’
I quickly read the performance of the items currently on display.
The 2-coin, 3-coin, and 5-coin items were all unnecessary.
Then I clicked on the 10 coin items at the top and looked at them.
‘This is it.’
