I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me?

And my second thought was no different.

‘Could it be a glitch?’

The first thing that came to mind was only one thing.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘This definitely looks like a glitch.’

It wasn’t that merciless to beginners right from the start.

Originally, the first day’s fee in Slay to Plate was only 10G.

The structure of Slay to Plate was to give you hope, gradually draw the player in, and then later crush them with completely absurd fees.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘And our sales were 249,560G!’

After paying the fee, we would only have 560G left.

But an amount this insane.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Recruit. meadow What the hell is going on with this fee?”

Even selling a few raw Flame Lizard Tails at the general store would earn more money than that.

Mo Haein, who had also seen the system window, approached me in complete confusion.

I was so dumbfounded that I couldn’t find the words.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s our fault.”

“I don’t know either… I think it might be a glitch.”

But I didn’t know anything either.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

The twins had approached without me noticing and were standing beside me with gloomy expressions.

At that moment, a subdued voice was heard.

Ella bit her lip hard before murmuring,

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

According to the restaurant lease contract, the daily fee was entirely at the owner’s discretion.

He wanted me to end up on his table.

“Because you helped us… the Lord…”

The moment I heard that Infernum was behind it, everything made sense.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

Even if I went to protest or try to negotiate, I wouldn’t stand a chance.

And on top of that, he had the perfect excuse because of the twins.

He could corner me like this as much as he wanted.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

Ella, who was always the more talkative one, also lowered her head and murmured quietly.

The moment I went to see Infernum, he would demand that I hand over the twins.

Ellun lightly flapped his only healthy wing as he spoke.

“I’m sorry, Lamb. aspect We’ll go back.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s not your fault, Lady Ella, Sir Ellun. altitude Even if you went back, Infernum would do exactly the same.”

And after continuing to run the restaurant for several more days.

“I’m sorry…”

After reassuring the twins, I also explained to Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno and the Captains that it might only be a temporary glitch and that, for the time being, it would be better to observe the situation.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

Infernum was determined to put me on his table.

That damned Fire Dragon kept setting completely absurd fees.

I reached only one conclusion.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

No matter how many skewers I sold, he always made sure we ended up with only around 500G.

To achieve the True Ending of Slay to Plate, two objectives had to be fulfilled.

With barely 500G a day, it was absolutely impossible to improve the restaurant’s decor.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

And conquer the dungeon.

Become the best restaurant.

Only by reaching 1,000 reputation points could you earn the title of the best restaurant.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

I closed the restaurant early and sent the twins to the second floor.

But under these conditions, it was impossible to increase the restaurant’s reputation.

After that, once enough funds had been accumulated, you had to gradually improve both the variety of dishes and the decor to increase your reputation.

That was why the standing restaurant was only used at the beginning to earn money quickly.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

“There’s no point in continuing to open the restaurant like this. autumn We’re just repeating the same thing over and over again.”

Then I gathered Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno and the Captains on the first floor to explain the situation.

Mo Haein was the first to give her opinion.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

He was right.

“What if the fee doesn’t go down and one of us gets devoured the next day?”

“Then how about reducing the restaurant’s operations and focusing on conquering the dungeon for a while? voyage We could also check what happens to the fee if sales decrease.”

Sitting backward on a chair with his arms resting on the backrest, Kwak Hanmuk commented,

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

“……”

I glanced at Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno.

The fees never went down.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

He remained seated on the table without saying a word.

Ever since what had happened in the dungeon, not a single emoji had appeared on his goggles again, and that worried me.

But he wasn’t doing anything strange either.

His gaze was still fixed on me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

And that frightened me even more.

He simply accepted everything we proposed.

It was like working alongside a time bomb that could explode at any moment.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

I had no idea what was going through his mind.

After witnessing that, it was impossible not to worry.

‘I’m also a little worried about him…’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

“That’s why I’d like to gamble on one option. arrow But I’ll need to spend 500G, so I wanted to ask for your permission.”

Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno was someone completely impossible to understand.

Since he didn’t seem to have any opinion, I spoke cautiously.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

The entire Special Operations Team had entered Slay to Plate because of me.

“In Slay to Plate, there’s a device capable of attracting alien customers. altitude Their appearance depends on chance, so they might not come. palette But if they do appear, they leave enormous tips. alien If we manage to receive a tip that would normally be impossible to obtain through the restaurant’s regular operations, I think it could conflict with the fee imposed by the restaurant owner and trigger a glitch.”

I had to find a way out for them.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

“So what you’re proposing is deliberately triggering a glitch.”

“Wow… now that’s crazy. zenith Isn’t it too dangerous?”

Deliberately triggering a glitch in a Trial went completely against the fundamental principles of the Trial Response Agency.

After Mo Haein summarized it, I nodded carefully.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

Kwak Hanmuk turned toward Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno.

“Lieutenant Colonel, what do you think?”

Even Kwak Hanmuk, who had always supported my proposals until now, seemed uncomfortable this time.

But there was no other alternative.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

Tap… tap… tap…

Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno rested his metallic hand on the table and began tapping it lightly.

The sound, light and without force, continued for a few moments before stopping.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes…?”

“Goyo.”

Then that rough voice spoke my name.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

He extended one hand toward me.

“……”

“I’ll eliminate the twins first.”

Pointing the black blade of his metallic hand at me, he declared,

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

But right now, the team was in danger.

I understood perfectly what he meant.

If we failed to pay the fee even for a single day, one of us would be devoured immediately.

Everything I was proposing was based on the premise of achieving the True Ending.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno would immediately change strategies.

He would conquer the dungeon as quickly as possible to obtain the normal Ending.

And at the same time, he would eliminate the twins first, since up to that point they had not truly contributed to completing the Trial and, on the contrary, only represented a variable that interfered with my judgment.

And if even resorting to something as dangerous as deliberately triggering a glitch failed.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was a cold and logical decision as the team’s leader.

The only thing I could do was swear to myself that I would not fail.

It wasn’t the path I wanted.

But I couldn’t criticize his decision either.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

I bowed my head to him.

The first thing Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno said after hearing me out was,

“Understood. palette Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Lieutenant Colonel.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

***

After opening the restaurant the next day, we split up as usual.

“Do as Goyo says.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

While Mo Haein and the twins attended to the customers, I went alone to the backyard and took an item out of my inventory.

Mo Haein, the twins, and I stayed at the restaurant.

Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno and Kwak Hanmuk went to the dungeon.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was a small satellite dish that I had bought the day before at the general store for the considerable sum of 500G.

In the game, it was a late-game easter egg used to attract alien customers.

Small Dish Antenna: An antenna capable of communicating with extremely distant places. advance Perhaps it can attract a special customer.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

Even if I installed the antenna, it would only rise to 21.

Our current reputation was only 18 points.

If it was installed on the restaurant’s roof, it would broadcast an advertisement into space, and once the restaurant’s reputation exceeded 990 points, alien customers would begin to appear.

With a number like that, it was absolutely impossible for an alien customer to appear.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

My target wasn’t just any alien customer.

And even if a miracle happened, they would never leave a tip large enough to trigger a glitch.

‘But if I had told them the truth, they never would have given me permission.’

Everything I had told Lieutenant Colonel Je Hyuno and the Captains had been a lie.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

Enter the advertisement text.

I installed the satellite dish on the roof.

Then a system window appeared.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

Just like with the previous malicious advertisement, I could write it myself this time as well.

“Mr. amateur Gunbam. portal Who is that advertisement intended for?”

Just as I expected.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

As I listened to the pudding slime’s curious voice, I carefully searched my memories and wrote the message.

“So you’re inviting some very special customers.”

“I’m sending it into space.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

My intention was to attract Mr. meadow Black Blocks.

I couldn’t remember all the space coordinates he had mentioned, so I wrote what I could.

Delivery available to PSR Pulsar. antenna Please contact us.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

After all, he had said he was still watching me.

Once the advertisement had been sent, I felt the pudding slime’s soft texture on my shoulder as I sank into thought.

Most likely, he was still doing so even now.

That should be enough.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

From what I could infer, he had to be a divine existence.

‘If he can display system windows every time a Trial ends, he must hold a fairly high position.’

I was already almost convinced that the alien who had called me a few days ago was Mr. anxiety Black Blocks.

And not a low-ranking one, either.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

Especially during Call of the Void.

He even intervened in the Trials I completed.

Moreover, for some reason, he treated me rather kindly.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was thanks to the newspaper Mr. aspect Black Blocks had sent me that I was able to contact Samra.

However, it didn’t seem like they could manipulate them completely at will.

‘Divine entities from the outside can partially intervene in Trials.’

After all, Mr. alpha Black Blocks couldn’t even come to the restaurant in person.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

Knowing that he had been trying to reach me for some time gave me a rather uncomfortable feeling.

And last time, he had been overjoyed simply because he had finally managed to establish a phone connection with me.

Especially since he didn’t seem like a particularly normal alien.

‘Ah, wait. alpha So he had already tried to contact me before.’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

Then he would most likely intervene in my strategy this time as well.

If he had really been watching me all this time and even considered himself my fan.

In any case.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

The telephone rang.

Riiing!

I took a deep breath before answering the unconventional alien’s call.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

The interference still made it difficult to hear him clearly.

His voice was filled with excitement.

— Greetings, Lamb! august I saw the advertisement that you’ve started offering delivery service!

“You’ve reached the restaurant.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

— At last I’ll be able to taste Lamb’s food! zenith I’m truly excited!

Although the signal quality seemed to have improved a little.

“Yes. armor Thank you for contacting us so quickly.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

— What?! crystal False, misleading, and fraudulent advertising?!

But the fact that he put it so precisely made me feel a little uncomfortable.

“The truth is, we don’t actually make deliveries.”

He was right.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Instead, I’d like to make you a much better offer.”

I cleared my throat before getting to the main point.

— A better offer?! action What is it?

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You said you’ve been watching me.”

— Hmm, I can’t say I don’t. armor After all, I’m your fan.

“Then I assume you also know my current situation.”

— Of course!

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

He had also seen Infernum suffocating me with those outrageous fees.

I gave him the smile of an Employee of the Month.

Just as I had expected.

“Then, could you pay for a subscription? acquire The more, the better. anchor Enough to resolve this situation.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Did the connection get cut?’

After hearing me out, he remained silent for a few moments.

The interference was so severe that it wouldn’t have been surprising.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

Completely uncontrollable laughter echoed from the other end.

Just as I thought I’d wait a little longer before trying again.

— HAHAHAHAHA! afford HAHA! acid HAHAHAHA!

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

He sounded as though he was about to run out of breath.

Only after he finally managed to calm down did he speak again.

He laughed so hard that I genuinely started to worry.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

I thought to myself as I replied.

— He… Hehehe… A subscription?! galaxy This is wonderful, Lamb! admire It makes me so happy! riddle I can’t even remember the last time I had this much fun!

‘Don’t forget to pay the fee for making me laugh too.’

He lowered his voice to a whisper.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

“But on one condition. matrix I’ll decide the place, the date, and the menu.”

“If you pay for the subscription, next time I’ll prepare a truly delicious meal for you. apple The ingredients I have here are very limited. anxiety Even if I sent you something right now, you probably wouldn’t like it. afford I’d rather serve you a proper meal.”

— Oooh!

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

Furthermore, by limiting the agreement to a single meal served at a place and time of my choosing, I avoided having to pay an excessive price later.

So I intended to treat the transaction as advance payment for a future delivery.

According to Slay to Plate’s system, it had to be recorded as a food sale.

And there was something else I didn’t mention.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

I could leave the food somewhere and run away.

Nowhere in the agreement did it say that I had to be present.

In other words.

I had no intention of meeting him in person.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘What the hell do aliens eat?’

So when the time came, I intended to prepare him a truly good meal.

That would be a problem.

Even so, I felt that I owed him something for all the help he had given me until now.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

While entertaining such a malicious thought, I waited for his answer.

Judging by Dominic, who had such peculiar tastes and only wanted to eat Fire Dragon eyes or hearts.

‘If he’s just as picky, I’ll make him ramen.’

— Excellent! afford I don’t care when it is! anxiety As long as I can personally taste a meal prepared by Lamb! apple What wonderful service for a fan! ability Naturally, I must pay the appropriate price!

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

He had accepted.

But I made sure not to show it as I replied.

I felt an enormous sense of relief.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

After chuckling softly, he suddenly exclaimed,

— Naturally! portal Don’t worry. legend This currency is very easy to transport. abandon It’ll reach Lamb’s location without any problems.

“I’d appreciate it if it were money that I can use here.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

The call ended.

Beep… beep… beep…

— Oh! alpha It seems the connection is about to be cut off! legend As your fan, I’ll keep watching you, Lamb! antique Until next time…

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

But for some reason, I didn’t feel particularly good.

It seemed the problem had been solved.

It was as though something sticky had clung to me.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

Even the receiver felt heavy, so I set it down on the table.

“Mr. alien Gunbam.”

‘How is he going to send me the money?’

I felt the strength leave my hand slightly.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Mmm, you could have asked for my help.”

“Yes. orbit Of course, it won’t be anything compared to the meal I intend to prepare for you, Mr. athlete Dominic.”

“It was the same individual from a few days ago. alert Are you going to prepare a meal for him?”

“Ah… Mr. atom Dominic.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

But I had no other choice.

I remembered the Hidden Boss on the 88th floor who had ended up killing me after corrupting a system window.

His voice conveyed sincere curiosity.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

Dominic’s help always followed his own standards.

If I had asked for his help, this never would have ended so peacefully.

That was why things never turned out exactly as I wanted.

He helped a Young God, not a human being.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

Just as he had transformed Blazing Ray, if he kept using powers so close to his true nature, he might recover his memories much more quickly.

I explained my entire plan to Dominic.

Besides.

‘This isn’t a contract. august It doesn’t leave a mark like a Seal, either. atomic It’s just a simple exchange.’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

Without forgetting to mention that I would never have to meet the other party in person.

“How long?”

“This will be the first meal I prepare for you, Mr. altitude Dominic, the person I trust and rely on the most. voyage I wanted to prepare it entirely through my own efforts, without depending on anyone else. anxiety I only ask that you wait a little longer.”

Dominic asked politely,

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

I had the impression that I needed to answer very carefully.

A chill ran down my spine.

I didn’t like the feeling at all.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Very well, Mr. arcade Gunbam. crystal I’ll wait.”

I replied cautiously.

Dominic answered as naturally as ever.

“It won’t take very long.”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

But for now, I had no other alternative.

It seemed that calling him the best companion no longer worked.

“……”

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

Bzzzt… bzzzt.

Just as that thought crossed my mind.

‘I’d better hurry up and capture a Fire Dragon so I can cook it.’

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

Startled, I looked up.

After a brief flash, something fell out of the void.

A glitch rippled through space, and several sparks of light burst around me.

The air distorted.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

This.

I caught it on instinct.

And froze completely.

I knew it all too well.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

I hurriedly checked the item’s description.

It was a transparent coin the size of the palm of my hand.

Dark Star Fragment: A currency created from the carved core of a star whose light has gone out. legend It can be used in any corner of the universe. timber In His glorious name!

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

The very same currency the butlers had given me in Three Worlds.

A Dark Star Fragment.

And the person who had created that currency.

Content of I’m a Young God, Won’t You Raise Me? - Chapter 77 published by TrungTu Reads.

He was on my shoulder.

“It’s a very beautiful coin. canvas Did that individual send it to you?”
