Godsent Top Star [EN]: Chapter 356

356. Can You Save Me? (2)

October 22, 2022

[Sudden Mission: Help the Underprivileged!]

Yeon-woo glared at the window that appeared before his eyes.

It had already been several days since Trevi’s sudden mission, which had brought insane penalties and shocked people, had ended.

Meanwhile, Gabriel’s sudden mission remained in place.

‘There’s no hint at all…’

In fact, this mission had been strange from the start.

‘In the first place, how could a guy who looks so flush with money be underprivileged?’

Well.

If you think about it, there might be some unfortunate aspects.

As they say, every tomb has a story.

‘Still, isn’t it a bit much to call him underprivileged with that…?’

It’s disrespectful to the truly underprivileged.

A very big disrespect.

In any case, the sudden mission derived from Gabriel was unfriendly in many ways.

No hints.

No fulfillment conditions.

Even the reward was ‘?’.

‘At first, I thought I was seeing things wrong…’

So far, he had handled quite a few sudden missions and even succeeded in some ridiculously crazy missions.

Based on that experience, the reward ‘?’ was by far the most unique.

The only good thing was,

‘At least there’s no penalty.’

If this crazy difficulty and unknown reward were combined with a penalty for failure…

Those guys up high would probably never get to eat ritual food again for the rest of their lives.

Well.

When someone gives someone else the finger, they need to realize that they might get it back.

Whether it’s a human, a god, or a high-ranking celestial being.

“Gabriel, I can’t know unless you tell me. It’s not like I can read your mind.”

Anyway, Yeon-woo instinctively sensed at this moment.

That this current situation was the clue to solving this ambiguous, unidentified sudden mission.

However.

“Really? You couldn’t read it?”

“Excuse me?”

What is this absurd sound?

“Nooo… I thought you could read it…?”

Then Gabriel looks around.

He’s picking up excuses, which is also absurd.

“Well… There are demons and ghosts in this world, so there could be someone who reads minds… Ah… Or not?”

A subtly rising tone.

Yeah.

You know it doesn’t make sense, right?

When Yeon-woo stared at him as if he was dumbfounded, Gabriel lowered his head.

“Don’t say weird things and tell me what the problem is. I think I can ask this much as someone who was suddenly asked to be saved.”

“…That’s right. You’re qualified enough, Yeon-woo…”

But even so, Gabriel only moved his lips as if it was difficult to speak.

[Yeon-woo, stop bothering the kid so much. He’s about to cry.]

The cat, Dongja Ryung, who had approached unnoticed, climbed onto Gabriel’s lap.

Gabriel naturally took out a liquid cat snack, known as catnip in the cat world, from his inner pocket.

[Ah, why. What, why! You don’t know how heavenly this taste is!]

Dongja Ryung quickly made excuses, noticing Yeon-woo’s sharp eyes.

“Stop fiddling with the innocent cat.”

“Cheese.”

“?”

“His name is Cheese.”

Is this the time to say that…

When Yeon-woo looked at him with a bitter look, Gabriel averted his gaze again.

Well.

I don’t think I need to look at the status window to confirm.

‘He’s absolutely not going to say it.’

In the end, Yeon-woo decided to throw out the bait first.

“Well, okay. If you don’t want to say it, there’s nothing I can do… Then let’s do this.”

“…?”

“I’ll just get rid of them.”

“What?! Wa, wait a minute!”

Gabriel jumped up at Yeon-woo’s refreshing words.

“Re, really you… You could see them? No, more than that, you’re going to get rid of them… You can get rid of them…?”

“Isn’t that what you wanted when you came all the way here?”

When he stared at him, Gabriel wiggled the fingers that had been stroking Dongja Ryung.

“You don’t say anything when I tell you to talk. Then what am I supposed to do?”

“That’s, but…”

“Since there’s only one target anyway, it won’t be too difficult to deal with.”

“Wait a minute! Are you really going to get rid of them?!”

“Then am I going to get rid of them for fake?”

Of course, he wouldn’t really perform an exorcism without knowing the situation.

Why?

‘Because then this sudden quest might not end properly.’

There’s no penalty, so he doesn’t necessarily have to clear the mission, but…

Still, there’s such a thing as a person’s heart.

‘The old geezers seem a bit crazy, but the rewards weren’t bad…’

No, rather, they were giving a lot.

Even Trevi’s sudden mission had a crazy reward of an additional 10 percent of total lifespan, right?

Of course, there was a crazy condition of a 50 percent reduction in total lifespan upon failure.

‘Come to think of it, when should I spin the roulette I got back then?’

The roulette he had obtained as a random reward was still carefully kept.

Normally, he would have spun the roulette as soon as he got it.

But he didn’t do that back then.

No, it would be more accurate to say that he couldn’t.

[If you spin it now, you’ll fail. 100 percent fail.]

The golden, sparkling phrase.

The roulette button that manipulates gambling and brilliantly captivates people’s minds.

All of that was shouting at Yeon-woo to press it.

Except for one thing.

His ‘gut feeling’.

Sigh.

In the end, Yeon-woo had to swallow his disappointment and ignore the phrase that was shining brilliantly above Trevi’s head.

As always, his gut feeling showed a tremendous hit rate of 99 percent, so the person who would lose out if he ignored it was him.

“Are you really going to get rid of them? Really?”

“Should I not get rid of them?”

“Th, that’s…”

When he asked as if to tell him, Gabriel hesitated again.

Then he hurriedly changed the subject.

“No, it’s okay. I feel better again because I’m next to you, so it’s okay.”

“Do you know that I can’t be your nanny forever?”

“Nanny?!”

Gabriel, who had been furious, soon became docile.

“…I know I’m just causing trouble. You must have been embarrassed too. Because I suddenly came and asked you to save me.”

Now that he mentions it, Gabriel had quite a brazen side.

And that brazen side strangely had a very big advantage that it didn’t look hateful.

Whether it was the synergy with his angelic appearance.

Or whether it was because he was soft on the inside even though he was grumpy on the outside, he couldn’t know.

But one thing was certain: this human suited the brazen side a little more than the sullen side.

“Well, it’s not like I was that embarrassed…”

“So! I brought you something good!”

“…Yes?”

What is this Udyr-class [referring to the champion Udyr from the game League of Legends, known for his ability to change stances] stance change again?

“It’s something that will never be a loss for you either.”

Gabriel, who had regained his unique sparkle as if he had never been depressed, said confidently.

Yeon-woo’s impression of that appearance was this.

‘He really doesn’t want to talk about it.’

The only presence caught in Yeon-woo’s widely spread senses.

A ghost who doesn’t have the ability or courage to invade this place is only lingering around here.

‘What kind of being is that that he’s so reluctant to talk about?’

Judging from the circumstances, he has a feeling that the ghost caught in his senses holds the key.

‘First of all, I’ll have to shake him down later.’

Methods of saving underprivileged neighbors probably don’t include threats or intimidation.

Yeon-woo swallowed his disappointment and decided to wait for the next opportunity.

He had a feeling it wouldn’t take long.

“…So what is it?”

First, he matched his tone appropriately.

Then Gabriel’s face, which had been looking at him, brightened up.

But he was still a pathetic colt.

“Well, I met someone the other day? A very famous person. Originally, he’s so famous that it’s hard to meet him, but I’m different. Because I’ve filmed with him for a long time. Ahem.”

“So?”

“It was okay in the studio, but as time passed, the studio wasn’t safe either. So I went back to my mansion, but it was even worse than the studio. …So I went outside. It was a little better than being stuck in the mansion.”

The reason why the studio in New York was okay was probably because the barrier was still there.

The source that maintained the barrier had left, so it would have gradually disappeared naturally.

It was natural for Gabriel’s spiritual power, which had been suppressed by the barrier, to return to its original state.

“Anyway, so I was talking to that person and your name came up.”

“Did you curse me?”

“Of course I cursed… No! I didn’t?!”

I think you were half over just now.

“Hmm. Ahem! So, when I was talking about you, that person said that he wanted to meet you anyway.”

“Me?”

“Yeah. But he said he had no way to contact you. But this body happened to know that you were close!”

After the work with UTT was over.

From the time he decided to collaborate with Trevi.

Yeon-woo had informed his agency in advance.

“I think I need to focus on my work, so it will be difficult to receive separate calls.”

-“Yes? Mr. Yeon-woo? Mr. Yeon-woo?! Then let manager Lee Gyu-han be with you… !”

“What sin did Gyu-han commit? They said they would manage everything here, so I gave Gyu-han a vacation on my side.”

-“Yeees?!”

When you think about it, Yeon-woo rarely has anything to do with receiving calls from his agency.

In the first place, he hardly shoots any commercials.

There are no dramas or movies filmed in Korea either.

Besides, he originally only goes to entertainment shows very, very occasionally.

Perhaps that kind of temperament is spreading in the industry, so they quietly bring in synopses without even thinking about special requests or invitations.

‘But did the call go through…?’

Looking at the reaction after Dream Walker, it seemed like it.

‘Still, well. Most of the calls that come after it’s successful are probably useless calls.’

How important could the business be for people who didn’t care at all and then slowly came looking for him after he made a mega hit?

Well.

If there was really an important and urgent call, Dongja Ryung would have told him.

That guy believed that he was better at managing than manager Lee Gyu-han.

“If only, that person’s company went all the way to Korea. Of course, they came back empty-handed.”

But in the meantime, there seemed to be quite a desperate person.

[Wow. That’s devotion.]

Yeon-woo agreed with Dongja Ryung’s words.

‘They showed the devotion of going all the way to Korea?’
