Black Online-Chapter 147: Cheating

Swoosh!

The Virtual Reality Pods opened up, and Fang Raon and Lourdes stepped out at the same time.

"Good match."

Lourdes said with a smile, and then she pulled out her phone—the screen showed a picture of Lourdes, her husband, and their two kids.

She then texted her husband that she was coming home.

"Mmh."

Fang Raon nodded.

The bronze match ended, and he... lost.

While he liked to use the excuse of not having his head in the game, but Lourdes also quite outplayed him at times.

’I can’t even defeat middle-aged mother. I don’t know why such a legendary teacher like Rock wants to even teach me. Aren’t I ridiculously weak?’

Fang Raon thought with a frown.

He left the room, and to his surprise, the gold match had also ended already—it lasted even less than the bronze match did.

"You’ve won, congratulations."

The man shook Lock’s hand, who was smiling, and accepted his prize money—which really was nothing for someone like him.

Anselma looked dejected.

She had thought of herself as very strong, but in the gold match just now, she realized what true strength meant.

She, honestly, didn’t do any better than Fang Raon did, but she survived about minute longer than him.

’I guessed as much.’

Fang Raon thought.

"Here~ Congratulations for the fourth place!"

At that moment, the young woman came over, gave him the prize money, and congratulated him with a big smile on her face.

"Thank you..."

Fang Raon nodded and slipped the money inside his wallet—he was still happy that he made it to the top four.

The cost of the equipment was covered with this—he even made a slight profit—only a slight one though.

There was a final picture taken of the top three—it was going to be displayed in the store’s window.

But since Fang Raon didn’t reach the top three, he left straight away, took a visit to the locker, and took his microphone and new computer with him.

’That experience left such a sour feeling in my mouth.’

Fang Raon thought with a sigh.

He then reached the elevator, pressed the 18th floor button, and watched as the elevator slowly descended.

Ding!

The elevator doors opened, and he saw that the group of thugs weren’t sitting around his apartment door anymore.

He quickly walked to his door, opened it with his key, and entered the safety of his home.

In the corner of the room, the Virtual Reality Pod welcomed him back.

He went to his desk, replaced the computer with his new one, and attached the microphone to the desk.

It was easy to use whenever he wanted to make videos now.

’Let’s check...’

He opened a microphone test, said, "Hello," to the microphone, and listened to his sound.

It was crystal clear. Much better than his old shitty one. And he’d even like to remake his first video now.

’I wonder how the views are looking right now.’

Fang Raon clicked on the Lagless website, went straight to check his video statistics, and it soon appeared on the monitor.

[Guild War - Rose Records vs. Grinding Grief/Monsieur Rascal]

[45,901 Views - 2,222 Likes/51 Dislikes]

’Nice.’

He felt slightly better seeing the number go up each time he refreshed the page.

’It is also about time.’

Fang Raon checked the time on his phone, then went to sit on his bed, and waited silently as the seconds ticked by.

[9:30 P.M]

As soon as the clock struck 9:30, his phone received a call. In an exact moment. Not one second later.

The call was coming from Chaewon.

It was like she had been waiting with the phone for the last five minutes, impatiently waiting the time to call him.

"Hah."

Fang Raon chuckled.

He then noticed that it wasn’t just any call. It was FaceTime. He quickly straightened his back.

He stopped sitting so lazily, then lifted the phone to his face, and answered the call with one button press.

The call connected, and he was met with the smiling face of Chaewon. She was fresh-looking.

It was like she had just returned from work, changed to her casual clothes, and started waiting till she could call him.

"Hey~"

She said.

"Hi."

Fang Raon replied.

They just looked at each other. Both forgot to start the conversation.

Fang Raon was quite distracted.

The FaceTime showed Chaewon’s face. It also showed something else. Her breasts pushing her shirt up. Fang Raon couldn’t help but stare.

She smiled after seeing Raon’s reaction.

Last night, she spent a couple of hours trying to pick clothes for her phone call with Fang Raon and wanted to make it so that it was impossible for him to resist her!

"Hehe~ How’s the day been? Did you play today?"

Chaewon said with a giggle. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Ah... No. I didn’t play today... Kind of... I went to shopping today, and then I actually participated in Black Online Tournament."

Fang Raon said with a wry smile.

"A tournament? That’s exciting! How did you do?"

Chaewon asked excitedly.

He didn’t know whether she was actually excited or she was just trying to be polite, but it made him feel good either way.

"I got fourth. I kinda got crushed, but it is what it is~ I won some of the prize money, at least."

Fang Raon said with a wry smile.

"That’s really good then. I’ve heard that those tournaments are usually very competitive. And you haven’t even played for that long!"

Chaewon said with a smile.

It was true that he had played only a little bit longer than a month, but it didn’t really make him feel better either way.

It was Hiroto’s first time playing, and he could’ve also defeated him.

"How about the work? Did you get a new patient to take care of now that I am not there?"

Fang Raon asked curiously.

"I am just assisting other nurses for now. I don’t want another patient. I don’t want to cheat on you..."

Chaewon pouted.

"I don’t think that it is exactly cheating... Haha."

Fang Raon chuckled.

Then he realized what he said as it sounded like they were dating, which they were not, and quickly cleared his throat.

"It is your job, so..."

"Hmm~"

Chaewon smiled mischievously, and then she flipped her hair back and rubbed her feet together.

"I was thinking of changing professions. I’d probably become home caretaker instead."

She said.

"Really?"

Fang Raon asked in surprise.

"Yeah~ Shorter working hours, less stress, and more time to relax. I had been looking for, and I saw that there are many benefits to working as a home caretaker.

"My mother’s friend’s daughter was in an accident and is bedridden, and I thought I could start with her."

She said.

"It’s nice that you want to help them. You are also basically working slave hours, so I think it is a good choice."

Fang Raon said.

"I am glad that you think that way. My mother is very concerned that I might be making a mistake, but I don’t think so!"

Chaewon said with a smile.
