Chapter 361

Walking through the countryside at night can be quite spooky. That's because there aren't as many lights as in the city, and the street lights flicker intermittently.

Still, it doesn't seem to have much effect on people who are familiar with it from the start.

I asked the guy walking pitifully with a shovel.

-Aren't you afraid?

-Is there any reason why I should be scared...?

All right, let's get on with what we have to do.

I took my phone and turned on the video recording mode.

-Is it a camera?

-I think we need to film the situation.

I waved my hand to wave toward the selfie camera. Kim RaeBin also waved with a nod.

-Hello everyone. It's 3:30 in the morning. We left home safely.

-That's right.

-Let me explain why we left.

I calmly stated.

-No more Carrot financial fraud... We decided to start a revolution.

- What??

-A revolution.

Kim RaeBin's pupils began to tremble.

-Hey... hyung. Obviously getting Carrot coins is important, but wouldn't it be rude to harvest someone else's field without permission...?

-Of course that's rude.

-Yes?

I stopped at the end of the field, near the beginning of town.

Now that we've arrived here, I'm sure.

-Let's leave the shovel here and go.

-The shovel...?

RaeBin went blank for a moment, but regained his senses again.

-But if we're going to dig up carrots, wouldn't it be easier to have a shovel?

I smiled.

-Destiny is not a carrot field.

-...!

-By doing this, other people will think we're going to the carrot field, that's why we brought it.

There are unmanned cameras all over the house. Of course, one of the maknaes on duty from the production team must be watching.

So surely our unexpected behavior must have been reported.

He may have said 'They're heading for the carrot field....'.

'He must have predicted it.'

The place where the one-to-one exchange rate between coin and carrot was established.

So, won't there be some people going to harvest real carrots at night?

Just look at Kim RaeBin right now.

-Were you worried that we were going to steal carrots from someone else's field?

-I'm not doubting your morality at all, hyung. Besides, it's just an entertainment program, so I thought it might be possible to do that kind of behavior!

-Yes, you did a great job worrying about it. Don't worry about it anymore.

That's what I was looking for.

'We're hanging out somewhere in the carrot field.'

For those who don't understand what we're doing right now, I'm recording separately.

I put a flashlight and a hoe on top of the shovel. And I went ahead again.

-Are y-you throwing them away?

-No. I'll leave them for a while and come back and pick them up. It's a little strange to carry a shovel into a store.

-That's true, but.... Is there a store that opens early in the morning?

-Yes.

I held up my finger and pointed to a sign glowing faintly in the distance.

-That store is open 24 hours a day.

-...?

RaeBin looked at my finger and turned to where it was pointing. I recorded it with my camera.

A puzzled face appeared on the screen.

-Why... there?

-I heard you had visited this place before and seen it too.

I heard it last time when we talked about our childhood.

-Yes, that's the one, but...

-It's okay, I trust you.

-Do you...? I-I see!

Kim RaeBin looked more confused, but answered quickly for now. He's very easy to work with because I already know him.

-All right, let's go inside.

We entered an old building that was still lit up.

Advertisements with red letters were flying in the wind in the middle of an illegal road.

[Our hardware store]

[Emergency business travel possible - Open 24 hours a day].

TL/N: '출장공사' (Business travel) refers to moving to a specific destination outside the original place of work to see to a specific task, for example, taking a product delivery and at the same time investigating the problem the customer has.

When the morning was bright and clear.

-Are you all awake?

-Good morning...

-Why are you coming out of the hallway instead of your room...?

We got back home after 7:00 a.m. I've got nothing in my hand except for my glasses.

I have nothing in my hand except the tools I took when I left.

The PD, who was camped in the yard, asked in a panicked voice.

-Where have you two been?

Since I sent a text message to the production crew last night saying we were 'going on an adventure,' I'm sure they didn't report me missing.

I replied, setting the shovel down in the yard.

-We tried to go to the carrot field, but we got lost.

-Hahaha!

Is he happy?

Let him be very happy. It will be more fun that way.

And after the interrogation of the production team, the questions of the colleagues come up.

-Hyung, what did you do? Did you eat something delicious with Kim RaeBin? Did you do something fun?

-No. I'm hungry.

-Ooh... I see. Cheer up.

Cha YooJin passed by.

And when I passed the guys who are still sleeping or just woke up, one of them put me in a headlock.

It's obviously Keun SeJin.

-No~ I'm disappointed, MoonDae. How could you go get your portion so late at night and leave SeJinie alone...? Heuk, heuk.

TL/N: '분량을' (Amount, dose, portion). When talking about videos, it is common for them to mention 'portion', as they refer to 'portion of time'. In this case, SeJin is complaining that he went to appear longer in front of the cameras.

Get off me, bastard.

-There is no video portion. Since I didn't have a camera, I used my phone.

-Isn't Park MoonDae's filming skill like that of a professional cameraman? You must have filmed an important scene. That frustrates me even more~

Really?

-I thought we'd get caught if there were too many people, okay? I chose RaeBin because he had a role to play.

-Oh...

Keun SeJin stopped complaining and smiled.

-Now I'm more curious.

-I'll report it before breakfast, so gather the kids.

-Hmm?

I smiled.

-We've done a good job, so we have to share it.

And after a while.

The production team hears TeSTAR's sudden announcement to leave.

-You guys only have 4 coins. Are you really going shopping?

-Yes. We still want to go.

-Oh, that's good for us! We depend on TeSTAR's grandchildren!

He uses his mouth well like it's oiled. I guess he gets a thrill out of picking a funny picture of all of us nervous about buying something.

TL/N: Just as tools and machines are lubricated with oil so they can move better and perform better, MoonDae compares the PD's lip service to this process because, from what he used to make a negative comment to them, he suddenly improved and made a positive one.

Anyway, we went to the market again in the morning accompanied by the production team.

As soon as he passed the entrance, Ryu CheongWoo explained in a kind voice.

-Guys, would you like to choose everything we want to eat?

-Yeaaah! I like it!

-Then... I'll bring some fruit...!

Seeing the members dispersing in perfect order, the production team was puzzled.

-Eeeh?

-What's going on?

And the PD spoke to me in a low voice.

-You know that having stolen carrots from the field makes you a thief, right? Do you want to lose double as a penalty?

-We didn't do that.

I think he suspects we dug up carrots and hid them in a corner of an unguarded field.

Unfortunately, that's not the case.

-Okay~ That's it, right?

-Wait.

-Waah, MoonDae is very generous. 1 duck per person?

When we went to the payment counter with a mountain of market items, the market manager greeted us again.

But what he says is different.

-Hmm~ Give me just... one coin.

-...!!

-Thank you very much~

The shouts of embarrassment from the production team are joined by Keun SeJin, who is about to finish paying the bill.

-J-just one?

-Hold on a moment.

-This is not possible...

-Eeeh? What do you mean 'this is not possible'~? CheongWoo hyung, please pay it!

-Haha, yes.

Ryu CheongWoo held out a coin and finished paying the bill.

Chalkang!

Looking at the amount shown on the side, I think I bought 300,000 won. The production cost is very high.

The PD could hardly ask.

-......What did you do?

-What?

-No, are you sure what you did?

-Why do you say that? It's normal for locals to impose the prices they want, isn't it?

-.......

I listened to the other members of the production team trying to contain their laughter around the gawking PD.

I winked at Kim RaeBin not to say anything and nodded.

-It's good that she let us have it on the cheap.

-That's right.

Part 1 is complete.

After a great breakfast, we went back to driving the country carriage to help the elders.

-Yahoo!

-Cha YooJin, please speed up! Speed up!

And this time we got enthusiastic and generous coins.

-Take this~ It's for the service you did yesterday by sweeping the courtyard~

-Thank you so much~!

-Oh, the young men are working hard. Here! Take five.

-Uwaah! Abeo-nim, really...? As expected, pretty people have a different way of thinking, right?

We made 36 coins in 3 hours.

More than the first day.

The boys shrug their shoulders.

-Oh~ I earned as much as my daily wage at the carrot farm.

-That's good. Let's go.

At this point, the PD self-destructed.

-Don't you need... the adult massage chair?

-I do~ It would be nice to have one~

-Uuuugh!

The PD couldn't take it, so it started spitting out strange words made up of exclamations.

If I had to translate it, it would be like 'These bastards are ruining the game'. It's an undeserved compliment.

I discreetly high-fived my teammates.

The 2nd part was a success.

And when it came time to eat snacks.

I prepared for the final revelation battle before I was struck by lightning.

-I finished washing the dishes.

-Let's get some rest.

Just as the other guys were lying down on the toenmaru, Ryu CheongWoo also settled down to lie down, but secretly untied the lucky bag and placed it in front of him.

And the production crew, who were confused and asking for news from the village, quickly fell for the bait.

-What the hell...?

The writer-author, who was looking at the lucky bag just in case, soon found something.

-Eeeh?

-Why?

Then he angrily called out to the PD and handed him a coin.

-Isn't this different?

-...!!

The production crew started making noise and were soon running around making phone calls and running like crazy.

Just in time came the good news.

-Someone delivered dozens of Carrot coins to each house this morning! He said it was a special gift...

-...!

Oh, I'm busted.

It's too late now, though.

-...TeSTAR's grandchildren.

-Yes?

-I heard... there are over 1,000 Carrot coins scattered throughout this village.

-Is that so?

Yes.

Wouldn't it be normal for people to become good-natured again if they thought that the amount of coins they have is as high as the TOP10 stable?

-The market... has about 500 coins?

-Yes.

Yes, we also negotiate with them.

-If we come with cameras, we will buy everything with only one coin.

There is nothing to lose because they charge the production team the real cost of the products anyway.

-How did this happen, guys?"

-We don't know, do we?

-No, no.

The PD shouted.

-MoonDae-ssi! RaeBin-ssi! What did you guys do when you left at dawn?

Well, we went to get Carrots.

In the early morning, we didn't go to the Carrot field, but to the Carrot mine.

'It's because the mining method is different.'

So who wants to recklessly make coins as if it were a children's gift toy?

It's easy to reproduce.

-No, this...! This is it! It's a counterfeit.

-What's the problem?

Seeing the astonished production team holding up a yellow coin with an identically printed carrot pattern from the hardware store, I tilted my head.

-I don't know... The shape is the same, and aren't they all the same?

-Oh, they are exactly the same.

-I don't see the difference either.

The production team shouted at the help of the members of the same name who naturally agree.

Yes.

It's fun to watch entertainment shows where popular people suffer from unexpected situations.

But I think it doesn't need to be TeSTAR.

So... How about a certain production team of an entertainment show that cheats on cast members, who so far have only traveled the road to great success?

And those guys right now.

-Anyway! MoonDae-ssi, RaeBin-ssi, you guys must have ordered it from the hardware store!

I guess you guys have figured that out now.

-Yes.

-For now, TeSTAR's grandchildren can only use Carrot coins. -What happened?

PD exclaimed excitedly about the tail he finally caught.

I shrugged my shoulders.

-Ah, he gave it to me for free because he's a fan.

-...!!

-Who works for the feelings he has as a fan?! You gave him money, didn't you?

Oh, of course we paid him on credit.

That's why famous celebrities feel comfortable.

It was processed by express in real time at night, so the rate was several times higher, but it wasn't a waste.

Still, I responded without changing my expression.

-Do you have any proof?

-Aaagh!

I'm good at grabbing the back of the neck.

TL/N: Inciting and pressing.

And soon the PD changed the target.

-RaeBin-ssi!

-Y-yes?

-RaeBin-ssi, you're a good person. Are you going to tolerate this kind of lie?

-Th-that...

Oh, that's a good approach.

But I was hoping you would.

-It's not a lie.

-What...?

Kim RaeBin clenched his fists and said.

-And the Carrot coin... it's so desired that it's good that it's flowing between everyone.

-...!!

-If there's any problem, I'll give you a massage chair with my own money!

-What?

I had already washed his brain for 2 hours? No, I convinced him by explaining it well.

-.......

That's how the production team went down.

-MoonDae MoonDae, let's buy everything at the market. Everything with a coin.

-Wait.

-Why? According to the residents' arbitrary price, they said they would charge only one.

-I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!

Even the writers hurriedly pick up the sketchbooks they wrote.

[We have PPL and production costs like rabbits!]

[Help us!]

TL/N: 'Like rabbits' comes from the phrase 'Reproduce like rabbits', i.e. they have too many real costs to pay and it is not at all convenient for them to pay for all the products on the market.

It is an unconditional surrender.

-Healing! I'll give you healing content!

-Just this once?

-Next time! Next time, we will send you to a hot spring with a complete course of healing. A hot spring!

In this way, the economic disruption of the Carrot coin system ended like a rice cake due to reckless mass production.

And just at that time, the trailer for the 1st episode was released.
