The Chaebol’s Daughter Debuted
Episode 137
First, the status window.
Not only can I check the members’ status windows now, but I can also open and check the staff’s status windows.
The staff’s stats weren’t filled with vocal or dance skills, but with work-related items like sales ability and presentation ability.
Each member’s status window has evolved beyond just viewing – I can now directly upgrade their stats using my cash.
And it seems I can change not only location and condition, but also existing traits and buffs with cash.
There are quite a few useful things, but what caught my eye the most was schedule registration.
This function is surprisingly.
Register.
It’s a function that allows me to forcibly register the members’ future schedules, limited to once a week.
Of course, absurd schedules like a member who hasn’t even debuted yet suddenly attending the Grammys or Billboard Awards won’t work.
It seemed to only show choices that members could realistically achieve from their current position.
Right now it’s just things like practicing, eating, and returning to the dormitory.
But I think after FLORA debuts and grows a bit more, options like dramas, CFs, and solo releases might appear.
And favorability is…
This was also in the cash shop, but I guess it was included in the group management system.
This is somewhat interesting, but I don’t need to unlock it right now.
Instead of favorability, there’s something I want to buy.
‘Cash Shop User Function Access Pass!’
Ding!
Huh? A discount?
First meeting? With whom?
“…Huh.”
I don’t know whose first meeting it is, whether it’s my story or someone else’s, or if it’s just an event name, but I just opened it and hit the jackpot.
The function I wanted to buy right now was Sub Quest.
The total cash I have is 4,500G.
Even after collecting so diligently, this is all I have.
‘Extreme cash collecting.’
Even if I poured in half a year, I couldn’t buy one decent system.
But if there’s Sub Quest?
I have to perform a few more missions, but I can receive that much more rewards.
Not just cash, but various buffs and functions that help with activities also come as Quest rewards.
Setting everything else aside, wouldn’t it be right to buy this first?
‘Phew, thank goodness for the discount.’
Otherwise I would have had to wait until the next mission.
‘Purchase Sub Quest.’
Ding!
“Oh!”
But what exactly will the Sub Quest content be?
When will it come out?
I was closing the system windows one by one, feeling a bit excited.
“Ah…”
So this is the kind of content.
As soon as I bought Sub Quest, two came in at once.
Frequently giving appropriate missions suited to my situation, but with very small rewards, perhaps things I can’t even use right now.
‘Having difficulty levels means rewards also vary according to difficulty, right?’
Still, if such easy missions are given frequently, it seemed like it would be a big help.
Then…
“Ugh, I’m not even hungry.”
It’s not particularly appealing, but should I go eat some ramen for now?
I left the room and quietly squeezed in between Min Ha-young and Choi Song-i in the kitchen.
“What! You said you weren’t eating so I made less! Look at this. You always want to eat when it’s already cooked, don’t you?”
“Ah, I hate people who just have one bite.”
Min Ha-young hugged me tightly, looking very happy, and Choi Song-i spoke gruffly but still brought out a plate and chopsticks for me.
I came out because of the Quest, but actually sitting face to face with the two of them made me naturally smile, thinking we really are like family.
‘This kind of Quest isn’t bad.’
***
Time flowed relentlessly and before I knew it, it was the day of FLORA’s first self-content filming, ‘What’s Ji-ye’s Problem? Let’s Make a Contract’, or ‘Problem Contract’ for short.
Ah, this is harder than I thought…
I looked at the set studio with a haggard face and gulped down the red ginseng extract that Song-i’s mother had sent as a gift recently.
Right, it’s not as easy as I thought.
Seven years have already passed, so I had forgotten.
How busy, difficult, and physically draining the debut process is.
Even when I was in Sucream, preparing for debut was really tough.
Unable to eat because of dieting, while doing practice, recording, various filming, and interviews.
Even Sucream, who came out with minimal preparation, was like that, so how much more so now when we’re preparing a luxurious debut with everything possible under everyone’s expectations.
Now when I can’t sleep and my condition has dropped to the lowest from practicing.
‘I wondered why this came out as a Sub Quest…’
Right, there’s no way they would give me a mission for something that just requires going and filming.
I had to host this monumental filming in this state.
‘Especially together with Da-min who’s in even worse shape than me.’
I glanced sideways at my side.
Han Da-min was holding a red ginseng extract wrapper in her mouth with eyes that looked like she’d fall asleep if you poked her.
“Unnie, are you okay?”
“Huh? Oh… I’m fine. I can practice after we’re done.”
“…Practice? That’s not what I meant, I was asking if you’re feeling alright.”
At my words, Han Da-min nodded with her eyes tightly shut.
Actually, maybe she’s the one with real dopamine addiction.
Looking like she’s about to die but still showing up to work for meetings every single day.
What’s even more amazing is that despite all this, she manages her stamina so well that she’s fine after just one good sleep.
‘I need to exercise more seriously.’
All of this can only be attributed to differences in physical fitness.
I made another resolution about exercising while twisting my stiff body to stretch and shifted my gaze to the script.
That’s when it happened.
“We’re starting filming!”
The Production Staff’s voice echoed throughout the venue.
“Kyaaak!”
Han Da-min stretched with a strange voice, loosened up her body, then jumped up and pulled me to my feet.
“Let’s go! No wait, you go alone!”
The first scene was just me as the host.
Han Da-min pushed my back to send me to the set studio while waving her hand.
I trudged into the set studio holding my script and blinked my eyes wide.
‘Let’s do well.’
This is my first activity as Flora, so I need to stay focused!
With that determination, I stepped into the set studio.
And shortly after, filming began.
***
“Everyone, have you been well?”
A dimly lit office atmosphere.
BGM that you’d hear in Hong Kong noir films.
Hair neatly combed and tied back in a bun and a well-tailored suit.
And black leather gloves.
It was an appearance that brought to mind an organization boss or a major corporation owner.
Well, that was the concept they said we’d go with.
A concept of an organization boss conducting subordinate interviews.
It’s not the same every time – they said the concept and costume change each episode.
Anyway, I was completely immersed in my role as I recited my lines.
“I have finally returned. You’ve all been waiting a long time, haven’t you? The reason I’ve come to find you all today is… Haah…”
I paused for a moment with a serious expression, furrowing my brow.
That’s when I heard the voice of someone who might have been a manager or staff member.
“For someone who said she couldn’t do it, she’s doing incredibly well?”
“…Pffft.”
At that moment, I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Ah, why are you throwing me off! I was working hard here.”
Then the Production Staff giggled as if they found it amusing.
It was filming that proceeded in this kind of light atmosphere.
I barely managed to immerse myself back into the concept and recited my lines.
“Finally, I hear that resumes have come in to Day Trading Co., Ltd. Everyone applaud.”
“Waaaah!”
Even at my almost commanding tone, the Production Staff responded enthusiastically.
I nodded satisfactorily and said,
“It’s been quite hard running this company alone all this time. I’d like to conduct an interview with all of you to see what kind of person applied to the company. Please come in.”
At my words, Han Da-min, also dressed in a well-fitted suit, opened the door to the set studio and approached me holding a resume.
“Hello. I’m Han Da-min, the first applicant to Day Trading Co., Ltd.”
Then she smiled brightly and sat down in the seat across from me.
