The Newbie Life of a Former Ranker Chapter 95

95

Dojin was busy.

In a life where I’m busy just playing games, I’m so busy that I have a lot of things to take care of.

Even now, as soon as Dojin logged out, he was caught by Cheon Ji-hyeon and was working.

ZIN

Two T-shirts with simple yet detailed logos created by experts.

This time, it was a t-shirt produced through a collaboration between Dojin Channel and Lael Fashion.

It came in two colors, black and white, and was priced at 189,000 won.

Considering the current prices, considering the high-quality fabrics, considering that Lael Fashion is a brand that uses a pretty high-end strategy… no, it still seemed expensive.

‘Did you say you were selling 2,500 of each color?’

They say there’s a limited edition or something, but if the ones that were printed don’t sell, then that’s a bit much.

Dojin nodded his head anyway, although he was a little worried.

It meant to tell her to do as she pleased, and Cheon Ji-hyeon, who understood this, organized the samples.

“This time, this.”

“also?”

“I told you last time. I decided to make rings and necklaces in addition to T-shirts. I brought the samples with me this time.”

Cheon Ji-hyeon took out a ring and a necklace and placed them in front of Do-jin.

A simple design with the logo ‘Z’, named after Dojin, engraved on the T-shirt.

Dojin picked it up with his hand and turned it around, asking.

“How much is this?”

“Uh… the ring is 389,000 won, and the necklace is 489,000 won.”

“what?”

Dojin, who had been casually examining it, thinking it was just a ring, turned his head in surprise.

Cheon Ji-hyeon smiled as she saw his shaking eyes as if asking what was so expensive.

“Dojin, why are you so surprised that you spend hundreds of millions of won on game items? It’s just priced similarly to existing products from Lael.”

I have nothing to say when you compare it to game items.

“How many of these did you say you were selling?”

“1,000 rings, 500 necklaces.”

This is definitely not going to sell. What kind of gold ring and gold necklace are those gamers wearing?

With that kind of money, it would be better to spend a little more and get some better accessories.

“Tell him to do it himself.”

“yes yes.”

If it doesn’t sell, I’ll just melt it down and use it for something else. Dojin thought as he tried to get up from his seat.

“Not yet, not yet.”

Cheon Ji-hyeon grabbed Do-jin’s shoulder and squeezed it.

“Why again?”

“I have to check the OST this time. I mean, the songs that will be included in the special edition.”

How did things get this bad?

This was all because the series was too successful.

Episodes 1-6 alone were a huge success.

However, the additional video released later, ‘Revisiting from Anemone’s Point of View’, which was like creating a new video itself, properly hit the mark.

6 episodes from Dojin’s point of view, and 6 more from Anemone’s point of view.

A total of 12 videos are still rapidly increasing their views and are running towards a total of 100 million views.

Given the circumstances, Lael Entertainment, or more precisely Joo Kang-hee, was going all out with the momentum of trying to get in the water and even attach a nitro engine booster.

Dojin, who had finished checking the song ‘Forest’ that he had bought to use as an OST, leaned back in his chair and slumped.

“… I think it would be easier to just hunt.”

“You must be foolish. But I’m done with what I have to do today.”

“in future?”

“I don’t know about that either. Originally, only the T-shirt was confirmed, but now there’s a ring, a necklace, and an OST. How would I know what will happen in the future?”

That’s true. I didn’t know I would end up like this.

It hasn’t been that long since I returned, but I’ve felt quite fulfilled living that time.

Dojin thought with a satisfied smile on his lips.

‘Still, this doesn’t sell.’

And Dojin’s prediction was completely wrong.

Dojin’s goods, including t-shirts, rings, and necklaces, were all sold out within 5 minutes of going on sale.

Joo Kang-hee, who had come to the headquarters after a long time, felt at ease after receiving a call from Chairman Kim Hyang-gi.

In the chairman’s office, have you ever felt this comfortable with the chairman in front of you instead of Aunt Hyanggi?

I can confidently say that there was none.

So Joo Kang-hee felt very good now.

Kim Hyang-gi, who was looking at the monitor, spoke to Joo Kang-hee.

“This collaboration, although the sales itself were not large, had a huge effect in making Rael’s name known. More than anything else, the ratio of foreign buyers was higher than that of domestic buyers, and the ratio of male buyers increased. These two things I like the most.”

Kim Hyang-gi’s decision to get involved in the entertainment business was not to make money there.

The goal was to grow the Rael Group bigger than it is now, and to build the group’s image in a more positive light.

In that respect, Kim Hyang-gi really liked this collaboration.

The fact that the proportion of foreign and male customers is higher than that of domestic female customers, which were the main customer base, means that the name has become known to people who were not interested in Lael before.

“good job.”

At the simple compliment, Joo Kang-hee put strength into the corners of her mouth that were about to twitch.

“thank you.”

Joo Kang-hee clenched his fists. Yes, this is it.

I worked and worked hard for a day like this.

To repay the favor to Aunt Hyanggi. To gain the recognition of Chairman Kim Hyanggi.

‘If it weren’t for that person, I would still be scared every time I come here.’

Every time I was called, my steps towards the chairman’s office were so heavy.

Joo Kang-hee was so grateful to Do-jin for solving it that she cried.

‘Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I asked you to tell me what gift you want… … .’

Joo Kang-hee sighed inwardly.

Although Dojin was a wonderful person, he was also a very unique person.

Even when I asked Cheon Ji-hyeon to tell me what I wanted, I always got the same answer: I didn’t need it.

Even though they offered to move me to a better place, I refused, saying that moving was a hassle.

‘You’re not distancing yourself from me because you don’t want to renew your contract, are you?’

Joo Kang-hee, who had thought that far, made up his mind.

‘Even if you say you don’t need it, I’ll have to give it to you by force.’

Lael Entertainment needed a creator named Dojin.

* * *

Dojin went out for the first time in a long time.

As soon as I finished the game and came out, I was dragged out by Cheon Ji-hyeon.

The reason was a health checkup.

“I told you I’m healthy?”

Dojin complaining about the injustice done to him from the backseat of the van.

However, Cheon Ji-hyeon narrowed her eyes as if she couldn’t believe it and glanced at Do-jin through the rearview mirror.

“It’s a health checkup scheduled by the company, but Dojin, there are plenty of reasons why you should get tested.”

“What about me? I eat healthy, exercise regularly, and take good nutritional supplements.”

Cheon Ji-hyeon laughed after hearing Do-jin’s rebuttal.

“I admit that. But there’s something else that’s more problematic. You’re lying in a capsule for two or three days straight, right? That’s really bad for your back and neck.”

Dojin had nothing to say. He had experienced both a herniated disk in his lower back and neck in his past life.

“And also. It’s good to eat healthy and exercise. I honestly respect how you take care of yourself while living such a busy life. But then what do you do? You don’t see sunlight. I looked it up and it says that no matter how many nutritional supplements you take, if you don’t see enough natural light, you can have various problems. It’s especially bad for your eyes.”

“… … .”

This time I had nothing to say.

What’s the point of arguing when I can’t even remember the last time I left the house?

Dojin humbly accepted his fate and buried himself in the sheet.

After a while, Do-jin arrived at the hospital and was dragged around by Cheon Ji-hyeon to receive a comprehensive checkup.

“Ugh… I think I’m going to die.”

Dojin, who woke up from the last procedure, the sleep endoscopy, felt like he was going to die.

Don’t you have to fast the day before for an endoscopy? Well, I just put in an energy pack and played games, so my stomach would be completely empty anyway.

While I was absentmindedly thinking about that, I staggered to my feet and started walking around, and then I found myself in the van again.

As soon as his body touched the soft sheets, Dojin felt tired and fell asleep without realizing it.

“Dojin, wake up. We’ve arrived.”

“…already?”

Dojin opened his eyes to Cheon Jihyun’s wake-up call and got out of the car to quickly go home.

“… … ?”

But it felt unfamiliar.

The underground parking lot is an underground parking lot, but it is an unfamiliar parking lot.

The parked cars are all luxury cars, and the building itself is full of luxury.

“Where is this place?”

Cheon Ji-hyeon pushed Do-jin’s back as he asked.

“You’ll know when you see it.”

Oh, Dojin was pushed onto the elevator, went up, and before he knew it, he arrived at the door of a house he had never seen before.

Cheon Ji-hyeon opened the door with her card key. Then, a luxurious entrance that was incomparable to any other accommodation she had stayed in until then greeted Do-jin.

Dojin was taken aback. At this point, he knew what was going on, but it was still so sudden.

“Dojin, you said you didn’t want to move to a new place because it was annoying. That’s why I made it so that you could just bring your body here after setting it up perfectly.”

Haha, Cheon Ji-hyeon laughs and makes an artificial sound.

She was more excited than Dojin and took out two indoor slippers and put them down.

“Come on, let’s go in.”

“…Why are you so excited?”

No matter how I looked at it, it didn’t seem like the creator in charge was excited about moving to a new residence.

“Uh… That’s it. It just feels good? Think about it. It’s your house, but I’ve been here longer than you. You’re always in virtual reality.

Well, come to think of it, that’s true.

Well, whatever the reason, seeing a close friend happy made me feel good too.

Dojin followed Cheon Jihyun into her new home with a faint smile.

‘I’d like to go take a look at the new house too.’

If you’ve come this far, what can you do but enjoy the situation?

“This place is much bigger than the last one, right? So your gym and bedroom are much bigger. This is my lounge, and this is the game room. The capsules are also the latest and greatest models.”

A luxury four-bedroom apartment that is too spacious for a single person to live in.

Everything that went into it was top-notch.

Everything from exercise equipment, to beds, to electronic devices, including TVs you never watch.

‘This is almost like threatening.’

Time passed and half of the one-year contract period had passed.

Even though there was still half a year left, it was a time when there was talk of renewing the contract, considering that the contract period was originally set to be short at one year.

Moreover, considering Dojin’s achievements and success since signing the contract, the company cannot help but be concerned.

‘Not bad.’

From a cramped rental studio to a neat officetel, and then to a luxury apartment.

For Dojin, everything he saw now was a scene or spectacle that proved what he had achieved.

‘Let’s live well.’

It was while I was sweeping the capsule with my hand, renewing my resolve once again.

“Hey, sir.”

Cheon Ji-hyeon’s embarrassed voice was heard outside.

“I came here because I heard you arrived. What about Dojin?”

Next, we hear Joo Kang-hee’s voice.

Dojindo went out.

“Director?”

Joo Kang-hee was dressed casually in a hoodie and jeans.

Perhaps the reason Cheon Ji-hyeon was surprised was because Joo Kang-hee’s atmosphere was so different from usual.

Dojin became curious about the reason for her sudden visit.
