Chapter 168
Perhaps because I remembered threatening the system once before, I was able to get what I wanted much more easily this time.
The system seemed to be struggling for a long time to decide what mission to give me.
Then, finally, a golden effect shimmered, and a special quest was created.
[A special quest, 'Memorize 10 Basic Facts About Estonia' has been created.]
[Reward: One-time consumable skill, 'Estonian Idol']
['Estonian Idol': Allows you to permanently acquire two items of your choice. However, the items must be related to Estonia and cannot be physical items.]
I couldn't help but laugh when I saw the mission details.
The system also seems to have had quite a headache.
It has to create a mission that didn't exist before, and it has to establish a connection with Estonia.
However, it seems that it is not possible to ask for something so absurd, which is why this type of easy quest came about.
Regardless of the mission content, the skill given as a reward was different from what I had seen so far.
'It's a one-time consumable skill.'
A skill that can literally only be used once.
Unlike skills that always provided me with continuous help in a passive form, this one disappears after use.
As I read it carefully, I felt something.
'... Even things that seemed impossible are designed to be realized in reality. Like the language skill I acquired last time, I really get appropriate rewards when I say something to the system.'
No matter how much I threaten and force the system, it can change its mind at any time.
It doesn't matter if it doesn't listen to my request unconditionally.
But when I see it acting in the direction I want over and over again....
'After all, is the very nature of the system friendly to me? '
Based on what I've learned so far, I think there are two additional features of the system that would be detrimental to me.
A stat decrease penalty is given when a quest fails.
And the physical pain that comes with the drop in stats.
As long as I consistently succeed in completing quests, I will not be penalized.
In short, all the functions of the system, except for the penalties, are really intended to be helpful.
Even in situations like now where it doesn't have to step forward, it goes as far as creating easy quests to give me the reward I wanted.
I checked the system corruption and recovery status while closing the quest window.
The recovery rate still remains at a low of 13%.
'If the system hadn't been damaged because of that Demon King Seir, my head wouldn't have become so complicated.'
My goal does not change.
Moving forward with the hard-earned dream of becoming an idol while also repairing the damage to the system.
After completing all the missions, I must somehow confront the god of
Should the image of God in my memory remain forever as a ridiculous figure waving his arms?
First of all, before boarding the plane, I must obtain the 'Estonian Idol' skill.
I turned on my phone and immediately typed 'Estonia' into the search engine.
And I went into WiXpedia and read all the basic information.
Since a long time ago, my ability to memorize lyrics and other things has been better than others.
I quickly memorized Estonia's population, geographical location, the time it gained independence from the Soviet Union, the name of its president, etc., and then called up the system window again.
And before the scattered members could return, the special quest was completed.
[You have completed the special quest, 'Memorize 10 basic facts about Estonia.']
[Reward: 'Estonian Idol']
Okay.
I smiled as I checked my newly acquired skill.
The two items that need to be specified have already been determined.
First, memories with my family in Estonia.
Without this, I would have to put on a difficult performance in front of everyone.
And secondly, an overall understanding of Estonia's culture.
If I go back to my home country and act like a native Korean, it may end up with a very strange picture.
As I thought about the items without hesitation, the system window displayed a final confirmation message.
[Would you like to use the 'Estonian Idol' skill? ※Caution: The skill you used will disappear permanently. It cannot be restored.]
When I pressed the 'Yes' button, my vision went dark for a moment.
My head started spinning as I felt a tingling sensation running through my body.
"Ugh...."
I endured the sudden pain by clenching my teeth.
As I shook my head a few times, trying to clear my darkened vision, numerous images flashed through my brain all at once.
Appearance as a toddler.
Panorama view of Tallinn, the capital of Estonia.
A quiet yard and a quaint white mansion.
Memories of my time with Frederick and Freya von Walden in Estonia came flooding back.
'I didn't know it would be applied like this.'
The power of the system was truly terrifying.
It's amazing how it can create memories that don't actually exist so quickly and accurately.
With this, one of the problems I had been worried about was completely resolved.
If we ever actually visit Estonia in the future, I think I'll be able to get on the plane with a happy heart and no worries.
Meanwhile, the members who had gone about their business began to gather one by one.
"Hey, this is really delicious. Should I give you one?"
"Why are you giving up all your food to me, Siyoon?"
"Actually, I already ate two, and I'm full."
"Then you should have said so."
Kang Si-yoon and Heo Yu-bin returned with freshly baked pretzel sticks.
Since I hadn't eaten anything, I was feeling hungry, so I looked satisfied as I ate the crunchy pretzel.
"Thank you for caring about me, Yubin."
"Hehe, of course!"
"No, that's ridiculous. I'm the one who gave it to you. Why is it Heo Yu-bin who gets the thanks?"
"I feel reassured because Yubin is here."
"You don't even listen to it anymore?"
Chae Eun-gyu and Song Hyung-bin, who went on a duty-free shop tour, each bought a 50-ml bottle of perfume.
"Doesn't this smell good?"
"Let's see.... Sniff, sniff. Huh, is this your style, hyung?"
"Not really?"
"Can I be completely honest with you?"
"Yeah."
Kang Si-yoon, who smelled the perfume chosen by Chae Eun-gyu, gave a review in a serious tone.
"It looks like something grandpas would use."
"Really? I thought this was cool and nice."
"I want to smell too!"
Following Kang Si-yoon, Heo Yu-bin also grimaced and waved his hand.
"Eun-gyu Hyung, you can't spray this in our room! I'm going to sleep in the living room."
"Sho, should I return it?"
Finally, Yoo Minha returned with a very cool expression.
"Hyungs, I succeeded-!"
"Wouldn't it be better not to talk about such private matters while eating a pretzel, Min-ha?"
"Oh, it's a pretzel! Can I have some too?"
Yoo Minha must be hungry after emptying it all, as he quickly ate the remaining pretzels.
The members, who had expended a lot of energy since the airport, fell into a deep sleep as soon as they boarded the plane.
'Fortunately, the full-scale filming began after arriving in Jeju Island.'
If we had filmed from the airport with the
And there probably wasn't a single usable amount on the plane.
"... Hmm."
I closed my eyes and listened to Ji Yoon-chul's sleeptalking, which had been going on for a while.
After about an hour of flying, our plane successfully arrived at Jeju International Airport.
Everyone seemed to be in high spirits, with the air and weather being completely different from Seoul.
"The weather is so nice!"
"It has to be sunny like this rather than cloudy to be worth going out on."
"By the way, when will filming start?"
In response to Yoo Min-ha's question, the staff answered that we would first go to the accommodations to change into our clothes and then begin filming.
Our accommodation was not far from the airport.
From the beginning, I thought it would be difficult for this many people to stay in a hotel.
"Wow, it's a youth hostel."
"It's the first time I've seen it since middle school."
Song Hyung-bin and Chae Eun-gyu looked reminiscent of youth hostels that elementary, middle, and high school students across the country have experienced at least once.
I also looked back on my memories from when I lived as Han Ji-hyeok.
I think I came to a hostel like this during a middle school retreat, which I can barely remember now.
The room we were to use was literally empty.
There were no additional facilities other than bedding and a bathroom.
"Whenever I came to a place like this, I would always have a pillow fight with the kids."
Chae Eun-gyu opened the closet and took out a pillow and a blanket.
Kang Si-yoon, who was helping his elder brother from the side, grabbed a pillow with an ominous look in his eyes.
"Can we start again right now?"
"Siyoon, you have to do that when the camera rolls."
"Oh, we can do it later tonight."
"The content is already confirmed? That sounds fun!"
"Hey, take it easy."
Unlike Yoo Min-ha, whose tension rises sharply over the pillow fight, Heo Yu-bin looked at me with a face asking for help.
"Me?"
"Hyung-nim is the scariest when he fights."
"Don't worry, Yubin. I don't do it sincerely unless the other person is Siyoon."
"Excuse me, Ajusshi? Why do you keep mentioning my name?"
After all the members changed into their school uniforms, it was time for the manager to announce our schedule.
"I'll hand out some flyers, so please pass them back."
"Wow, it's been a long time since I've seen this."
"It reminds me of the old household newsletters."
The schedule, scheduled for two nights and three days, was quite tight.
Including the time spent eating, we had to go to six different places in total to digest the content.
The itinerary included places that came to mind when you think of famous tourist destinations in Jeju Island, but there were also places that I had never heard of before.
"Okay, we're going to take the bus straight to our first destination today. Does everyone know the rules?"
"No formal speech allowed!"
"Right! We're all friends, so let's get along, okay?"
Yaja time is back again.
I guess everyone's tongue is still raw, so the extreme tension didn't come out right away like when we filmed the opening.
While riding the bus to Seongsan Ilchulbong, the production crew played a minigame.
"You all know that in Jeju Island, they speak a different dialect than the one we commonly know, right?"
"Yes!"
"We're going to play a game where you listen to the Jeju dialect and guess what it means. Here's the important point! "
Manager Hyung raised his index finger while flipping back his wig, which was as fluffy as a lion's mane.
"If you guess a certain number of correct answers, you can eat a luxurious Jeju silver hairtail for lunch! If you fail to guess correctly, you can go eat stir-fried pork."
"Oh, what about stir-fried pork?"
"Even if I fail, I don't think the damage will be that big?"
"Should we just get rid of everything and eat pork?"
"Hey, guys?"
Manager Hyung was slightly flustered by the unexpected reaction, but Song Hyung-bin laughed out loud and sorted out the situation.
"It's a joke, teacher. Give me the problem!"
The first problem was difficult.
"What does 'Honjo Opseoye' mean?"
"I know this! Siyoon!"
Kang Si-yoon raised his hand confidently and shouted out the correct answer.
"Welcome!"
"Oh.... Siyoon is right!"
It's a good flow from the start.
The two same-age friends sitting next to Kang Si-yoon shook his shoulders violently.
"How did you get it right, Siyoon!"
"Ha, this is easy."
But from the next problem onwards, he hit a wall.
"Now, listen carefully! The answer is hidden in the words!"
"... I have a feeling this will be difficult."
As Ji Yoon-chul's muttering passed, a truly unfamiliar dialect came out.
"What does 'hokkomman isibseoge' mean?"
