Debut or Die

Chapter 458

If you can’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease Episode 458

[…] The system went into your company!?]

[?? But can it be canceled??]

Yes.

I looked at the company’s status window again while watching the pop-up of the large moon, which was astonished as if it were vomiting blood.

It is sorted from popularity to the artists it has, and even the company’s overall rating is floating. It’s like a demo version of a company-run game.

‘What are you saying?’

I clicked on it just in case.

[?This function is not yet available.]

Reason: Before starting the mission

“… … .”

What features does it provide?

However, he is saying that he can’t show it yet because he hasn’t started his ‘mission’.

‘maybe… I think it’s because of this pop-up.’ [

Are you sure you want to cancel the use of

‘Item: ??? (ver. Beta)’ ?]

I must say that I will not cancel this for it to proceed officially.

[Hyuu hyung, I guess you can do whatever you want because it’s an item… . I’m so glad… … .]

Yes. This is what I can choose.

[uh… But why didn’t you cancel right away and are thinking about it?]

That’s… .

‘gold… No, it seems Kwon Hee-seung has a system fragment.’

[!!]

A pop-up like ‘Confirm the owner of the fragment of ???’ appeared. It happened the moment Kwon Hee-seung said his wish.

[Aaaaah, the system reacted to that and moved! Because Heeseung-nim has a fragment!]

That’s right.

‘I don’t know if I’ll have to do this to get it out of him.’

Responding means showing movement, so if you use it, you might come up with a way.

No matter how much you think about it, it is dangerous for a guy without a status window to face a mission failure penalty that suddenly pops up like a head on the ground.

And whether Gold 2 is X or not, it’s hard to just leave it alone… I was indebted to him to the extent that I even gave him a wish ticket.

‘… And one more.’

If one of the remaining system fragments is in Kwon Hee-seung, the pattern becomes obvious.

A total of 4 fragments.

And if what has been revealed so far is me, Kwon Hee-seung, the next guy has a high probability… .

‘… I’ll ask.’

This damn system is an experienced line.

‘Should I ask him to at least tell me a wish?’

I need to get my words right.

But for now, I shook my head and returned to the immediate topic.

So what to do with this system?

If I was just unilaterally dealing with the failure of Gold 2’s mission, I’m sorry, but it was an excessive loss.

I think it would have been a wish, a nabal, and a realistic loss… .

“To be honest.”

[…] Speaking of?]

I rubbed my chin.

“I think I will benefit.”

[?!]

Think about it.

Even checking the attribute draw level up status window. How well I used the system, sucking it to the marrow.

They suddenly asked me to become an idol with someone else’s body, but if I failed, it would be a problem.

‘Actually, this is a cheat key.’

[Hyung?]

But look now.

grow your company? It aligns with my purpose.

failure penalty? Anyway, if you don’t grow the company properly, it’s all the same.

In addition, from my experience so far, the penalty for missions was weak, not for status abnormalities. If I don’t debut, it won’t be at the level of losing.

and… .

“No matter how I think about it, I don’t think I will fail.”

It’s about one mission.

[Huh.]

Hmm good. decided

I was wondering when to raise this new company to a weight class and process it to fit the testa level.

I nodded.

When judging complexly, there is no need to reject shortcuts.

But, let’s just check one last time.

I asked the big moon.

‘Does this look dangerous to you?’

[…] … I don’t see this item as threatening, but the situation is just scary! It’s so scary!]

[You feel like you’re sacrificing yourself for Heeseung-nim?!]

That’s enough. It’s because of the mood.

[!?]

‘The system says it’s my item now?’

good. I escaped the collapsing building and collected the fragments while struggling to change my body, so I’ll put it to good use.

I immediately called the popup again. [

Are you sure you want to cancel using

‘Item: ??? (ver. Beta)’ ?]

‘No.’

That moment.

The holographic firecracker exploded.

Light broke through the pop-up where the big moon exclaimed.

[‘Item: ??? (ver. Beta)’ use confirmed!]

-‘???’ has become for company use!

A translucent hologram begins to take shape.

Borders are created, colors are applied… .

What’s done is what looks like a pretty decent mobile game window.

At the end of the scene, which seems to be evolving, a pop-up appears flashing at the top.

[Create Mission (NEW!)]

Mission: < Star's Orbit Entertainment > Achieve B-grade

– Let’s raise the target’s grade to retrieve the ‘??? Fragment’.

hmm?

The moment I wondered what the increase in the company rating had to do with absorbing fragments, a help message popped up at the bottom.

[Help: As the level of < Star's Orbit Entertainment > goes up, the owner’s gripping power gets stronger.] [

Try to dominate the ‘Fragment of ???’ with strong gripping power!]

Oh.

therefore… Since the system was used by the company, the more the company grows, the greater the control over the system I have. Is it possible to bring other fragments like that?

Kwon Hee-seung’s ‘wish’ and my purpose were well mixed. I’m fine.

but… .

[Remaining period: D-100]

-In case of failure ??? Take ownership

“… … .”

I have no conscience for a while.

I don’t like the penalty for failure because the explanation is ambiguous. I don’t know exactly what’s going on.

[then!! Try canceling it now!]

What should I try?

[?Cannot be canceled during a mission!]

‘I say so.’

[Uhhhhh… .]

I left the big moon pop-up and now brought up the status window.

[Company name: Stars Orbit]

Recognition: C+

Grade: (-)

Revenue: (-)

Artists: Testa (?????) Mirinae (????) Spacer (???) … .

Overall Review: D+

Now you can click.

Click… It was < view details >.

[General review details: A new agency with promising artists! But still no results… .

Let’s make money from artist activities!]

[‘Feature: Album’ unlocked!]

[‘Feature: Acting’ unlocked!]

[‘Feature: Entertainment’ unlocked!]

The hologram exploded and new buttons flashed.

‘It’s a mess.’

There are quite a few things that can be checked.

I smiled and went through the list.

‘Acting and entertainment came first.’

Anyway, the most urgent thing right now is one.

‘Official album activity.’

If it’s a standard group activity period, everyone should push for what they think of as universally valid.

‘I have to hit the first stroke properly.’

You have to make a quick and accurate comeback and make an intense survival report.

And to prioritize to grow the company… It should be imprinted from the most impactful group. who would it be

‘Of course it’s a testa.’

from group 1

I shrugged and said.

“As an album function.”

The window just changed. This is a neat input window.

[Album]

Manpower: (-)

Capital: (-)

Duration: (-)

*Start of production ? Click!

[Tip: The higher the star rating, the higher the chance of a good effect during production!]

What is this again?

‘Are they making albums automatically?’

It’s really a scam, so I don’t think so, but it would be a great advantage if you could help.

I clicked on the manpower tab once. Then the company’s employees came out all the time.

in card form.

“… !”

[Najin Kim (???) – AR Team]

[Seowon Kim (????) – AR Team]

[Sejoong Na (????) – AR Team]

[Jinwoong Park (??) – AR Team]

… .

Minister.

If you click the card, it seems that you can check the genre with strong speed and weak genre, but I skipped it and looked for the high grade.

But not much. Of course, they were concentrated in the AR team, but there weren’t many members of the AR team in the first place.

‘Haha, if the real ability is outstanding, there’s a high probability that they’ll be working as a separate team.’

Because that will make more money.

There was a ‘Request external manpower’ button at the bottom, but try clicking on that… … .

uh that

[Raebin Kim (?????) – Testa]

“… … .”

‘Kim Raebin… I will take you forever.’

This guy was the kind of guy who wouldn’t waste six meals a day.

In any case, the manpower capital period was set appropriately.

Of course, this is for demonstration purposes only.

‘Even if I make a demonstration album, it’s okay if I don’t.’

In addition, it is normal for the UI to lie flat and crawl on this system as a whole, asking ‘Are you sure you want to start?’ I think the same confirmation button will pop up.

That was the moment I clicked ‘start production’.

Beep-!

The button flicked and a popup appeared.

“… ?”

[?This function is not yet available.]

Reason: Lack of company dominance

-Current dominance: C

“… … .”

what else

‘And how to increase it.’

Kindly popped up again.

[Remaining investment amount until achievement of dominance (B): \10000000000]

I almost rubbed my eyes.

Read the units again.

But reading it again didn’t change it.

’10 billion.’

“… … .”

This bastard knows that 10 billion is the name of his dog… .

[Should I add Zezeze, hyung??]

Are you crazy?

I looked at the status window in vain.

It was then.

Giying-

“… … .”

Kakao Talk came to Kwon Hee-seung.

-older brother!

-Oh, that wish ticket… Should I cancel it? ?? Did I say too much!?

“… … .”

late.

* * *

[Note: ‘Company control’ means direct influence over the company. Higher Dominance ranks unlock more features.

[The grade can be raised in many ways, but the fastest is investment!]

And it’s a crazy money-eating hippo that demands 10 billion to raise it from C to B.

‘X foot… .’

I staggered out of the bathroom.

Yes. I was doing all of this while I was stuck in the bathroom by myself.

“Is it resolved?”

“so so.”

Just now, in the conference room, I looked into the air and cried out for cancellation.

But when the real cancellation came up, I sat down on the road with a depressed face.

-… ?

Perhaps the members realized that it was not a disaster situation, and the members calmly moved away.

I did stand guard in front of the bathroom.

“How was it?”

I thought I had the company’s rapid growth package, but a more vicious induction was waiting for me. I can sum it up like that.

After holding my breath, I said:

“Does this company need another 10 billion right now?”

“… ??”

“No um… first. I got something to help with our activities.”

I roughly explained the system applied to this company. The conversation flowed between the curious and the wary, but in the end, I was okay with my words, ‘I will be able to use it’.

However, after this conversation, Seon Ah-hyun suddenly grabbed my arm with a determined face.

“It’s nothing. That 100 earlier… I mean.”

uh.

“If Mundae needs money, I can give it to you… !”

“Thanks, but that wasn’t the case.”

Don’t forget that the amount you and I get settled in the first place is the same.

But it must have been something out of the blue, so everyone’s mouths exploded.

“then… Does this company need that much more money?”

“That’s what I asked.”

“ah! That’s right.”

Bae Se-jin’s face reddened. And the others tilted their heads and whispered.

“I don’t think you need that much.”

“We have a lot of money in our company. I saw that number.”

“Umm~ Did you spend a lot while buying T1 Stars? No, we bought it because our liberal arts college was almost beaten up.”

also. It sounds like you’re in a situation where you don’t really need it.

“But why are you curious about that, Moondaemundae?”

“… If you put in 10 billion won, the company will run better.”

“… ??”

A rare question mark appeared on Sejin’s face, meaning ‘What nonsense are you talking about? I don’t know how to describe this display board. I endured my sleep.

Cha Yu-jin raised her hand.

“That’s an impostor!”

no. That’s not it.

“I’m not a scammer, I’m going to invest in the company.”

… for a moment.

I realized as I spoke.

‘yes.’

It is not investing 10 billion in the system, but investing in the company.

then… It’s not like 10 billion evaporates anyway.

‘I can spit out as much as I invested.’

If the album comes out well, so long as the tour goes well.

It could be called more than that.

My head was clear.

“… … Anyway, I was contemplating whether to invest in our company or not, so it’s okay not to worry.”

I chuckled.

“If we do well, I think we can be called many times over.”

“OK!”

The conversation ended so refreshingly.

… But if I put in 10 billion, I’m scraping almost all of my remaining money.

‘That’s a bit.’

It was then.

Kim Rae-bin, who approached cautiously, whispered.

“brother. If there is an emergency, I will be flexible… !”

“… uh thank you.”

It seems that I didn’t hear about the investment story because I was worried.

He’s the one with the most money here, but somehow strangely, if I get money from him, I think I’ll feel like I’m getting the most back.

‘anyway… It’s good.’

No matter what happens, I will eat and live.

I finally made a choice.

‘let’s go.’

Let’s try to get it back.

10 billion investment.

“hello. Yes, it’s nothing different, I’m calling because I have something to tell you… .”

… … .

And right after the consultation with the company is over.

A popup actually popped up.

[Remaining investment until Dominance (B) is achieved: \0]

[Dominance upgrade!]

‘After.’

It’s going to cost 100 billion.

‘It looks like I’m going to break out in a cold sweat.’

I inadvertently pressed my forehead.

however… The pop-up didn’t end there.

[Dominance (C) ? Dominance (B)]

-Reward: Hint ticket (x5)

Hmm?

[Help: A ‘hint’ is a variety of information that is helpful for the company’s growth or when the company is in crisis.
