At the unexpected comment, Beo-deul blinked rapidly. It was something he had wanted to say, yet held back from due to lingering regret. He’s worried that his poor performance in the dungeon might have left a bad impression. But what’s this? BreadwinnerGirl’s had brought it up first?

Thinking that he might have waited all this time just to say that, Beo-deul couldn’t help but feel a ticklish smile creep up. Before he could take it back, he quickly sent him a friend request and typed:

[General] Gilmyu: If you had already sent a request, I would’ve seen it later haha

But then…

[User “BreadwinnerGirl” has declined your friend request.]

Beo-deul was so stunned he didn’t even process the short message.

‘Did he press the wrong button by accident?’

He tried again with a friendly smile.

[User “BreadwinnerGirl” has declined your friend request.]

The same phrase appeared again. Beo-deul, puzzled, moved the cursor toward the request button again and typed:

[General] Gilmyu: haha…?

Declined. Again and again. Beo-deul tilted his head.

[General] BreadwinnerGirl: Wait a sec

[User “BreadwinnerGirl” has declined your friend request.]

[General] BreadwinnerGirl: Why is your hand so fast

[User “BreadwinnerGirl’s” has declined your friend request.]

[General] BreadwinnerGirl’s: Wait no, don’t send any more

Unable to even form a proper sentence under the barrage of friend requests, BreadwinnerGirl’s was left flustered. By the time Beo-deul understood and stopped, he had already declined his request seven times.

└ meoisseo: Dunno them ;;
└ dorong: Search “Sinu” on MyTube, go go
pano: Did Sinu quit?
└ jowayeon: No, he went to the military
└ pano: Ohh
└ Mr. Pyoh Jubu: So it was the call of duty? I thought he quit because he hadn’t uploaded in forever
└ kokokoko: He barely uploaded even as a civilian, only when he felt like it lol
walletlicker: If he’s back, maybe he’ll carry meㅠㅠㅠㅠ I’ve been stuck in the Lake of Ascension Loop for 2 weeks. Or should I just ask for a hand switch
└ hotteok-sotteok: You think he’ll help? Lmao. But I call dibs first
└ walletlicker: No no, I already marked my territory. Lick S1N’s hand
└ hotteok-sotteok: ;;
└ Kim Chilgap: Grossss ;;;;
neone: If he’s back now, he’ll aim for First Clear on the new dungeon Grace in the summer update
└ pozzang: The summer update is out already?
└ neone: Nah, just speculating. But they always release new dungeons in summer
└ Eong Gwanjang: Summer break = new dungeon update, that’s the rule

[Guild Chat]

Yuka Principles: Gil-nim, did you open this month’s special box yet?
Gilmyu: Not yet. Anything good this time?
Yuka Principles: Gasp, this month is amazing;; Get to the cash shop NOW
Gilmyu: Omg okay;

The second and fourth Friday of every month was when the guild chat exploded with activity. It was patch day, a new cash shop items were added, delighting the players’ eyes and emptying their wallets. But not everyone was thrilled.

Gilmyu: Just saw it. So many cute items ㅋㅋ
Yuka Principles: Right??

WishUponA: Reporting in. 50 fragments so far, and not a single Special item!
Yuka Principles: LOL. That’s normal

‘Special Boxes’ shortened as “S-sang” were monthly loot boxes. Only available via cash purchase, the box’s item list changed monthly. Once a special-tier item rotated out, it never returned. Items ranged from outfits to mounts, but the Special-tier drop rate was miserably low.

WishUponA: Should I open just ten moreㅠㅠㅠ
TangShushuk: Call 1336 for gambling addiction help
WishUponA: I don’t want to gamble. My baby is in that box!

…

Beo-deul quietly watched the chat and then checked the website for item probabilities.

“Hm, let’s see…”

This month’s Special pet drop rate: 0.03497%. Almost absurd. But if it did drop, it’d be worth a pretty penny not life-changing, but valuable.

…

Beo-deul thought about stopping, then hesitated. Something in the shop caught his eye: a sky-pink dress and cardigan that would match BreadwinnerGirl’s character perfectly.

‘Would he accept a gift?’

His cursor moved toward the purchase button then froze.

‘Ah… he said he has another character.’

he’d promised to friend him from his main character, but he hadn’t yet.

He sighed, left the shop… and came back. He bought a few boxes.

…

Suddenly, a whisper:

[Whisper/Gilmyu] Sinu:

? Oh

You’re online! Sending the friend request now.

Beo-deul, who’d been scanning the map for a lucky spot to open boxes, saw the incoming request:

[User “Sinu” has sent a friend request to Gilmyu.]
