Episode 60 – Mission Room Reward, Lucky Shooting Event

Date: Day 21
Current location: Tier 1, hallway
Sage Advice: 0]
Instead of a notification similar to the hotel’s ‘evaluation’ popping up like usual, it went straight down to the hallway.
As I looked around with a dizzy feeling, people who had fallen outside at the same time stood up, wrapping their arms around their waists.
Everyone looked at each other with blank expressions.
Soon, an emotional time passed as everyone was filled with happiness and embraced each other.

“Ah, I’m really embarrassed. There are 7 levels, but did you think I’d get trampled to death at level 1?”
“How could I have known that bulletproof glass would come out of nowhere? It wasn’t your fault, Grandfather. I couldn’t do anything either, so I was blown into the sky and died. I thought I would have something to use as a bracelet.”
“Ah, I’m even more embarrassed. I thought I was over everything, so I was already thinking in my head, ‘What’s the next mission?’ Then the bastard comes! I’m still mad.”
“Well, aren’t you lucky that you didn’t make a mistake at the entrance to the mansion? If you had made a mistake from there, you might have ended up fighting all the monsters in the mansion.”
“Ah, I also have nothing to say because I flew to the sky and died together with Songi. Seungyeop, what did you do when you died?”
“As soon as I started riding the train, a rock fell on my head. What was unfair was that I was just 98% lucky! Wow, that was really unfair! If I had just activated it, I could have avoided it with my steps.”
“Well, that’s good because it’s 100% right now. There will be something to save and use.”
“So, Ahri, you can often heal wounds with that blood?”
“Are you going to keep sucking my blood from now on?”
“…”
“I’m kidding. It’s not just simple physical recovery, but it doesn’t heal wounds very often. When I’m almost dead, my blood automatically tries to heal my body and develops healing power. So, if you want to heal my wounds from now on, you’ll have to hit my head. All you have to do is draw blood.”
“…”
“I’m kidding.”
“Oh my god, this is my first time hearing such a joke….”
“Ah, but I’m also really sad. The person reflected in the mirror just changed, so I avoided it because it seemed like the strangest mirror, and that was the answer.”
“It was really hard to make you believe Miss Elena.”
“Well, I think the answer is simple, but I think you’ve been avoiding it for no reason.”
“yes?”
“I think I would have believed you if Ga-in himself had come out in person.”
What does it mean? I turned my head in confusion.
“Alright! Alright! The atmosphere was nice and we ate a lot! Now, let’s answer one question that’s probably on everyone’s mind. So where on earth does the ‘Mission Room’ reward we got through all that hard work come from?”
“The other day, the bracelet was already on my arm as soon as I solved the room. What happened to the reward for the real mission room?”
“Well, girls. Relax. The hotel won’t take away any compensation. If you just relax and have a meal, the display will show you where to go.”
Grandfather Mukseong’s prediction was correct.
As soon as I finished eating, an announcement came out on the display.
/Customers! Congratulations on clearing the mission room.
All of the hotel staff are truly happy that our customers have taken a step forward.
Of course, there has to be a reward after all the hard work!
A reward event awaits you at the front desk!/
Isn’t it not a ‘compensation’, but a ‘compensation event’, just a form of giving rewards?
The moment we all arrive at the front desk together.
Everyone was speechless.
“You! You bastard!”
“Haha! How are you all? I think I saw you the other day, and I’ll see you again soon. I’m so happy.”
“Are you also in charge of the ‘reward event’?”
“I can’t help it because this damn hotel is a really black workplace. I’m busy just selling things, but they’re also making me take charge of events! But for you all, I’ll gladly sacrifice my body!”
The merchant who had appeared at the underground campsite reappeared with only his clothes changed.
To be honest, as soon as I saw this guy’s face, I became very anxious.
I started to think that the ‘reward event’ was somehow not normal.
“Looking at your face, I’m tired again. Just give me compensation. What is the compensation? Inheritance?”
“That’s a good question. The answer is, no one knows!”
When I heard that, Jincheol raised his fist and then put it down.
“Hehe. That customer always behaves rudely. The atmosphere is unusual, so I’ll explain right away.
Rewards are random! Five chances! Just hit the balloon with the gun I give you.
What will come out of the balloon? No one knows. However, there are grades of balloons.
Of course, good rewards will come from high-grade balloons, right?
There are 100 balloons in total.
1 golden balloon, 19 silver balloons and 80 copper balloons.
Please note that one bullet can only pop one balloon. Unfortunately, penetration is not possible.
ruler! Let’s begin now.”
As the merchant finished speaking, the space danced as if entering a hotel room, and everyone moved to the ‘shooting range.’ A rifle was placed on the table, and 100 balloons began to fly towards the target.
As the group was assessing the situation in bewilderment-
Unable to bear it any longer, Eunsol pointed her rifle at the merchant!
“If I really meet you, only terrible things will happen. Can’t I just shoot you in the head?”
“You can shoot. Even if you shoot at me, the count will be deducted.”
My sister couldn’t bear to pull the trigger.
It’s really amazing. To come all the way here and draw.
That mission was completed with everyone literally dying, but the reward is a luck battle?
“No matter what, they say they will reward you with luck….”
“Luck? It’s your shooting skills. All you have to do is hit the golden balloon. See it over there?”
It seemed. A golden balloon the size of a pea!
Ridiculously, the golden balloon was the smallest and fastest.
While everyone was speechless, the silent elderly man grabbed the gun.
“I think I’m the best at shooting, so I’ll give it a try. What do you all think?”
There is nothing to say because it is true.
Other than Jincheol, who had served in the military, no one had even touched a gun. After getting a pistol, he fired it a few times to confirm it, but my grandfather’s shooting skills were much better than his brother’s.
Eunsol, who ran to the side, prayed and shouted.
“Elder, please! Please! Even if it’s not gold, please at least give me a silver balloon!”
“Well, don’t put too much pressure on it. It looks like it’s really hard to hit even a silver balloon.”
As I said, hitting the silver balloon never seemed easy.
The silver balloon itself was similar in size to the copper balloon and had a similar speed, but the problem was that the 80 copper balloons were constantly moving and blocking the silver balloon.
The old man raised his rifle.
Everyone knelt down and prayed together.
Please, God, Buddha, Allah, Zoroaster, etc. Anyone is welcome, so please give me a silver balloon!
—bang!
As if by a miracle, the silver balloon burst.
“Wow! Nice shot, Chairman!”
“What kind of chairman is this? Chairman again. Huh, just be quiet.”
The balloon burst and its contents appeared.
letter? The letter reads:
Not bad? Does this feel like it’s worth the ‘silver balloon’? Anyway, sooner or later you will have to go into the cursed room again and get the inheritance, so it’s not a bad idea to get a hint.
As the atmosphere heated up, gunshots rang out again.
—bang!
Copper balloon.
…
Silence fell in the hall.
A note appeared from the balloon.
More than you think. It’s not as much trash as I thought. Everyone has been running hard for quite some time without proper rest. For once, I wanted to take a vacation in peace. 3 days rest. It’s not bad.
I tried to force myself to win mentally. There are limits.
Rest isn’t that bad. But we need things that are more practical and helpful.
—bang!
Copper balloon.
A small plastic box fell out of the balloon.
The group’s mentality exploded.
“Hey, this dog, ah ah ah !!!!!”
The merchant flew into the air. Jincheol probably threw it.
“A super delicious sandwich? It sounds delicious! I was hungry. If I eat that, I’m going home, right? If I eat something super delicious, wouldn’t a person go to heaven? It’s the sandwich that will send me to heaven, right?”
Eunsol’s sister started talking nonsense.
The grandfather sat down and began lamenting his shooting skills.
I am… . When I came to my senses, I had hit the merchant with my fist about five times.
In the meantime, the merchant doesn’t even react.
When my grandfather got up and picked up his rifle again.
Ari grabbed Grandpa’s arm.
“for a moment.”
“I’m sorry. I shot because I was concentrating -”
“Grandpa. I don’t mean to blame you, so just put down the rifle.”
“?”
“Seungyeop. You’ve received all your blessings, right?”
“yes.”
“You shoot.”
“Huh??? Sister? I don’t know how to shoot a gun?”
“I know. Just trust your blessing and try it. Close your eyes and shoot. You’re not shooting anyway. You’re not shooting, think of your blessing as shooting and shoot. Activate the blessing.”
An unexpected hope.
All the people who were half out of their minds came to their senses and gathered around.
“Anyway, does it make sense to entrust the gun to a kid who can’t shoot at all? If he can’t shoot at all, he won’t be able to hit the balloon itself, right?”
“Just try it. The name of the blessing is ‘luck’, so when else would you be active if not like this?”
In a tense atmosphere –
Seungyeop raised his gun.
“Have you activated the blessing?”
“Yes. It just popped up. Your lucky number is 777!”
“777. I’ll believe it.”
“Uh… sister.”
“say it.”
“Wouldn’t it be better if you supported it in some way?”
Before the words were finished, Ari hugged Seungyeop tightly and then fell.
I guess it’s good. I can support you even if you two film a sitcom for a month!
please please golden balloon please please golden balloon
—bang!
The silver balloon burst.
Still, what’s not a copper balloon?
Everyone seems to be heartbroken.
Seungyeop shoots the balloon without his eyes being able to follow it, but it is a silver balloon.
‘Luck’ is at work here.
A very small box fell out of the balloon.
what? Everyone looked curious and approached the box that fell from the balloon.
That moment when Seungyeop couldn’t hold back his curiosity and turned around.
—bang!
The last bullet was fired.
My intestines were frozen.
“Uh! Uh! Uh! Uh! I didn’t fire!!! I just turned around to look!!! No, why is it firing? No! Mr. Merchant! Please fill in one more shot!”
“Quiet, Seungyeop. Just stay quiet.”
Ari kissed Seungyeop’s cheek. Seungyeop was mesmerized.
The golden balloon burst.
“Today, I see a precious scene. 87 years of service at the hotel. This is my first time seeing the golden balloon pop. I sincerely congratulate you.”
The merchant and the shooting range are gone.
something –
An unidentifiable round oval object rolled towards us.
*
Everyone gathered at the refreshment table on the first floor, mesmerized.
“Let’s sum up the rewards. By the way, Seung-yeop, you did a great job. Let’s not forget this when we play ‘lucky’ games like this in the future. Make sure to give Seung-yeop a chance.
Actually, at first I thought it was a game of shooting skills, but now that I think about it, how on earth are you supposed to hit the golden balloons that you can’t even see? It was just a game of luck.
Hint for Room 1 of the Curse.
2nd 3-day rest ticket.
Sandwich number three.
Red pill number 4.
Number 5 golden egg.
It came out like this.”
The object that came out of the small box that fell from the fourth silver balloon was a small red pill and an instruction manual, and the object that came out of the fifth golden balloon was none other than an egg.
“First of all, it seems like there are a lot of things to look into for each reward. I really don’t know about the golden egg, which is the best reward, because it doesn’t come with an instruction manual, but the rest are pretty well explained.”
So we started analyzing compensation.
