Chapter Title: Time to Go Claim It
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Time to go claim it.
Yorang Garden server's first main event: Representative Vote.
Exactly as it sounds—a voting event to select Yorang Garden's representative.
The key feature? You could buy votes with money.
The crucial part was that they wouldn't reveal the price per vote until the day of the event.
Anyone could become the representative, but they had to be recognized as their group's rep.
A group was defined as at least four people.
In other words, a group of four or more would nominate a candidate.
They'd pool as much money as possible to buy votes and claim the title.
The reason the operators planned this event?
They figured that as time passed, money would lose all meaning.
Inflation was inevitable, and they weren't running the server long enough for it to become a real problem.
By mid-server, everyone would turn into 'bunny copy-paste' mode, wondering what to do next.
So, they thought they'd sell votes for cash to burn through all the accumulated money at once.
But a variable cropped up.
"The Hostess Bar... is making way more money than we imagined."
"...That much?"
"I-Mungnyong is the richest person in the server right now."
"...."
GTA servers had tons of events, and doing well in them meant raking in huge cash.
Normally, that money would just keep piling up.
"The group pooled their earnings... and the Hostess Bar blew it all?"
"Yes."
"...We planned to open the casino after the rep vote to sweep up whatever was left."
They never dreamed a market-priced Hostess Bar would pop up.
Let alone that it'd become so popular.
"The hospital director... police brass... gang bosses... they really reeled in all the big fish... and drained their cash."
"I saw... damn, it was insane. I watched the Girlfriend Summit too... whatever, just post the server notice for now."
When EV invited him, they figured a guy with under 500 followers couldn't do much.
But he was crushing it too hard.
"So, what're they up to now?"
"Who? I-Mungnyong?"
"Yeah."
"On a date with the hospital director."
"...What a beast."
+++++
【 Starting tomorrow: Representative Vote Event. We're selecting Yorang Garden's rep, so please show lots of interest. Check Announcements—Details for full info! 】
"Hm?"
A server notice popped up out of nowhere during my date with the hospital director—Leruri.
It had full details, so it must be a big deal.
-"Hey, I got some urgent message. Mind if I check real quick?"
"Sure, go ahead. I'll check something too."
We tacitly paused the date and dove straight into the details.
'Selecting a representative?'
- Yeah, about time for a big event like this ㅇㅇ
- Wait, isn't Mungnyong's Hostess Bar four-plus people? They could run as a candidate, right?
- Hostess Bar rep?
- This is the story of how I went from selling my body to representing the boys
- For fuck's sake, at least take your hands off her while reading the notice lolololol
- Ruthless bastard ruthless bastard ruthless bastard ruthless bastard ruthless bastard ruthless bastard ruthless bastard ruthless bastard
It was about electing Yorang Garden city's representative via vote.
Votes could be bought with money, and since the price was secret, it meant hoard as much cash as possible.
'Any group nominates a candidate, and anyone can become rep... no other rules.'
No rules meant pretty much anything else goes.
This was shaping up to be a clash between major groups.
Of course.
'None of that has anything to do with me.'
I could just keep chilling like this.
"How about we clock out together too? We're together all day anyway?"
Laze through dates like always.
Chin grab.
- Gasp
- Gasp
- Why's he suddenly grabbing her throat?
- They modded the hell outta this—throat grabs and all lololol
- You can tell they put in effort
Every now and then.
-"Why'd you emphasize 'all day' like that? What's the reason?"
When the hospital director—Leruri's absurd yandere bullshit erupted, things weren't so chill.
"Can you let go first? Can't... breathe...."
-"No, answer properly. If we date all day today... you'll feel relieved not seeing me for at least two days? That's why you said 'all day'? Relieved 'cause you'll go to that bitch after? Already?"
When a woman's yandere flips, the key is never losing control.
If you get dragged into it, you're done.
This is when you push back hard.
"Leruri, look me in the eyes. You think I'd ever ditch you? I love you. You were the first to do the Leje cosplay... How could I ever let you go? I hate that this moment has to end."
Drive forward strong.
- Smooth sailing till Leje cosplay mention ㅇㅈㄹ
- Leje is serious business tho
- EV's doing power cosplay tomorrow
- Barabin Makima the day after hehehe
- Mungki my lord,,, I want to,,, pour my heart,,, into you,,,
- EyeyeMyWife-im 1,000 won donation—thanks!
[ Dude talks such smooth game lolololololololol ]
- StraightenYourBackForHealth 1,000 won donation—thanks!
[ Hi, I'm the Spine Fairy~ Lumbar surgery runs about 20 million won~ ]
- Gasp
- Gasp
- Gasp
- Saw this and straightened up for stretches
- Thx spine fairy
- Mine's already wrecked
- lololololol
Right after pouring out sincere love, it flowed like any date.
From the guy's side listening, fully empathize with Leruri's situation.
"For real? That must've been brutal. Sure, outsiders see hospital director and think it's cushy, but I'm a boss too, right? I get it... being the leader is tough."
-"Yeah yeah... you really get me."
"But you're the only one for me, got it? Sure, work's splitting up our dates right now... but the only one I wanna hit the beach with is you."
-"For real?"
Sprinkle in lines that fluff up their mood nice and soft.
The core? Make 'em feel like 'I see you as special.'
Only you.
Mean something to me—we're the same, build that connection.
Caution: Can't make it feel burdensome.
'Master this balance, and you're Hostess Bar material.'
Internet studying paid off.
I muttered to myself while glancing at chat.
- Basically turning the golden apple fiasco into some epic saga lol
- Don't knock Mungromon's solutions lol
- Got a date tomorrow but wanna save the beach for her at the end... savage
- PantiesRubberBandThiefMungki 1,000 won donation—thanks!
[ You guys are weird af, I used the exact same lines on Mungki but why's her reaction different? ㅠㅠ ]
- Gasp
- Gasp
- Gasp
- Oh uh...
- Wait why do girls just laugh when Mungki barely tries?
- ㅠㅠ
- ㅠㅠ
- Manager, ban Mungki looks mentions from now on—hurts getting compared
- ㅠㅠ
All good, still rolling smooth.
Kept the date going.
We played off each other's RP perfectly.
When it was time to split, just bounce no regrets.
- "...Mungnyong, take this."
-"It's nothing big, just... thought it might help you...."
-"This is me trusting you one last time? For real."
End of date, she hands over cash.
Not pocket change either.
- Just straight-up 50 mil
- Insane
- 50 mil for one beach promise?
- I-Mungnyong, I hate you now
Even before vote prices dropped, big money.
Now when cash matters most.
And this wasn't just from the hospital director—Leruri date.
-"Take it, and swear in front of me you'll never live weird again."
End of corrupt police brass—EV date too.
-"Fuck around with this money and I'll kill you. You know why I'm giving it, right? You get it, don't you."
End of major gang boss—Barabin date as well.
50 million per person.
Plus existing staff stuffing cash as 'sorry the shop burned down' consolation.
Suddenly, I-Mungnyong's account hit 500 million.
"No way this is real?"
Prep period was about four days.
My dates took three, so one day left till vote.
While cops, gangs, citizen groups tangled in interests.
I randomly became a solo nutjob with 500 mil.
- Kingmaker potential?
- Hostess Bar faction's the issue, but step in the vote hall and you could rep easy?
- Hostess Bar's already registered as citizen group, so candidate eligible too
- Walk in the vote hall and you're rep?
- Ttarantta† Chance time Mungki, spread those wings
Absurd pile of cash.
One day till vote prep ends.
'Representative... me? Nah, odds are high I could pull it off.'
Brain spun fast.
"...RP's solidified for everyone, shadow games for rep... then vote day, war erupts."
- ㅇㅇ
- ㅇㅇ
- Yup
- 100%
- Gotta happen
- Core matchup cops vs gangs for top dog
- Fisherman profit guaranteed
- No separate candidate reg is clutch ㅇㅇ
- Pretend to vote and backstab fine
- No point in campaigning, 500 mil solo
- Even lowball, that's 15% of server cash
Min 15%.
Generous absurd estimate: 30%.
Enough to solo vote yourself in as rep.
"Gotta run with it."
- ㅇㅈ
- Shrinking here? Shouldn't join big server then ㅇㅇ
- Bailing or joining someone? Low-tier move
- Mungki, born a man? Go big once
"...Time to go claim it."
If you're gonna bankroll someone else's crown with this cash, you wouldn't join a big server.
Wouldn't open a Hostess Bar.
"Yorang Garden peace."
- Forcing the line made the sentence drag hard lol
- lolololololololol
- Fr lolololol
- Ttarantta† Why copying Zzappal all sudden
- Lame
"...."
Ah, time to pose up.
'But how do I actually become rep?'
Mid-thought.
【 Announcing current top cash holders in Yorang Garden. 】
Server notice drops outta nowhere.
Naturally, #1 was.
【 1st: I-Mungnyong 】
Me.
