A Monster Who Levels Up Chapter 70
Inside a country house located in the rural Jeolla Province, the location shoot for a certain entertainraht’s Country House’, considered as the hottest ahts-related shows currently
The concept of the shoas as the title suggested
Nine Knights would reside in a house located in the Monster-free area of Jeolla while perfora their own ether
At first, the ideapersonalities,situations were captured on filht out of the 9 participants here were grooes, only one kne to cook rice properly, so naturally, chaos ensued whenever it was meal time
A these colourful characters, the one with
Although she maintained an indifferent expression hter than the sun itself that so woeration to say that this progra established
So, in a way, Yu Sae-Jung had greatly benefited fro its most important contributor
”It’s been too long, Sae-Jung~~ This Unni thought she was going crazy fro to see you~~!!” (TL: Unni is the female equivalent of Oppa)
”…Even thougheach other teeks ago?”
The filht, for the period of four days and three nights, and so, it soes since all nine of theathered in the living roo each other, and then waited for the producer to give thee
”Wowsers, Sae-Jung! What is that necklace?”
While they aiting, a fe’s necklace and asked
”Yea, yes?? What?”
Although she was expecting it but now that the question was finally here, Sae-Jung couldn’t help but feel quite nervous She did have an excuse called ”indirect advertiseift that iven her, after all
”Hmph Did a boyfriend buy it for you?”
Aon a serious air spat out while looking dissatisfied
He was Sohn Chul-Joon, a High Tier Knight fro a roh the said interest was nothingwho couldn’t cook to save herself, utilising his skills a bit; but since they looked good together on screen, the producers, the writers and the viewing public came up with their own narratives all on their own
”Wow, is it true? OMG, a really big event broke out before the filan?”
”The filh?”
”…Anyhow, Sae-Jung, did a boyfriend really give you this as a present? No, no, did Sae-Jung have a boyfriend before? Wow, Chul-Joon Oppa is so screwed now~”
Right away, all nine Knights began yapping aith Yu Sae-Jung’s necklace being the focal point This was the charm of this particular shohere the scenes of chaotic ya would often fill the airwaves
”N, no, it’s not like that!!”
In the end, Yu Sae-Jung had to shout out and only then, the sounds of their conversations died
down
Yu Sae-Jung’s face reddened as if it ht burst open from all the attention poured onto her by her co-stars and the film crehich numbered around 60 people
If this was her normally, then she would’ve assumed the saht there, but since it was related to Kim Sae-Jin, she couldn’t maintain a calm facade at all
”Well, it is a present, that’s true…”
”But it’s not fro?”
Sohn Chul-Joon chuckled lightly and for some unknown reason, slicked back his hair
”…”
Too bad for hi didn’t reply
Honestly speaking, she had never been in a romantic relationshi+p before, andquite conscious of Kim Sae-Jin’s presence, which was unlike her
They did embrace, sure, but since he didn’t say it out aloud, it seemed certain that they were not an item But what if he doesn’t like it, if she declared that fact right here?
”…What the, so, it’s true?”
Sohn Chul-Joondidn’t open hertime, until…
”Not froift and a sponsorshi+p deal at the same time…”
In the end, she denied it
As soon as Sohn Chul-Joon let out a sigh of relief, this tiry anihts, well, they were also wo about the necklace, such as where did she buy it, how much was it, was that ruby real, etc, etc…
”Well, everyone, please cal for real now”
Only when the producer stepped up did the noisy hullabaloo come to an end
‘But the signs are good…’
There was a huge grin plastered on the producer’s face It was understandable, as a potential goldfor less than 30 minutes
On top of that, the rare sight of Yu Sae-Jung being so shy onderful enough to make him want to embrace her himself…
‘No, no, no no, that’s not it’
The producer quickly shook his head and then displayed a board with the participants’ mission written on it
”Well, you guysto eat first?”
An afternoon with the sun blazing down
Seven Knights left on the redients, for their food Meanwhile, Yu Sae-Jung stayed behind to learn how to cook from Sohn Chul-Joon
Even though it was called how to cook, with no ingredients to practise, she was just cooking rice for now But Sae-Jung was paying 110 attention to what Sohn Chul-Joon was saying
Before, she only pretended to learn as there were cao - no, ed her thought process greatly
Thinking about the appearance of Sae-Jin enjoying her cooking… just i that alone made her happy
”Is this enough?”
Yu Sae-Jung pointed at the pot filled with rice while carrying a needlessly determined expression
”Yeah There’s just enough water and it looks good”
Seeing her adorable appearance, Sohn Chul-Joon chuckled slightly and reached out to pat her head However, the speed of Yu Sae-Jung’s reaction was incredible, and his hand ended up dancing in the empty air
”…Keheum Oh, a mosquito”
Getting embarrassed now, Sohn Chul-Joon waved his hand around twice
”Let’s make the soup next”
”I’ll buy you so more expensive later on”
During the break between the fil’s necklace and laid on a thick smile
”Excuse me?”
”I ”
Discussing about buying soest thing as she could buy anything she wanted - but for the sake of e, in the interviews she always said that she lived frugally while being given an allowance So, theof Sohn Chul-Joon ell, understandable
”Youmore expensive than this?”
Yu Sae-Jung looked at hi face Maybe this situation came about because the artifacts from The Monster hadn’t been unveiled to the world yet Yu Sae-Jung found Chul-Joon’s attitude of looking down on the gift necklace rather disagreeable, but he remained ever so confident
”Obviously I know that the true value of a gift isn’t judged solely by its price, but I can tell there will be much more prettier necklaces for you out there”
With a slightly strange expression, Yu Sae-Jung stared at him for a while, before…
”…You probably need to bring out a pink diamond if you want to top this necklace’s value…”
She muttered out softly
Unfortunately, as he was too deeply appreciating the depth of his own coet to hear what she said
”M?”
”…No, not really”
While Yu Sae-Jung was learning how to cook for Kiround ” facility below the Society’s headquarters
”Wohat is this?!”
But Sae-Jin wasn’t alone in the facility That was because the Knight Order that was chosen to partner up with The Monster, the Raven Order, had sent a Knight to aid hi
”Mister Sae-Jin, your physical abilities are pretty good!!”
And the Knight assigned for this task, Yi Hye-Rin, was busy praising him
Yi Hye-Rin was second only to Kim Yu-Rin in the looks department within the Raven Order, and thanks to her sociable personality, she was far more active than Yu-Rin in the entertainment industry
And since Sae-Jin’s only habit atching TV, he obviously kneho she was Besides that, she was also one of the people who received the Orc’s weapon as well
”If you rate ht’s standards, where do you reckon I am?”
”Hht be around there”
The reason why the Raven had sent Yi Hye-Rin out of all the Knights in their Order was, of course, the famed honey trap After all, Kim Sae-Jin was a man, wasn’t he?
”Ah Is that so?”
