Chapter 68: Gold Bar Challenge

“Okay, is there anyone who wants to be the next challenger?”

A man’s voice was shouting loudly from next to the box.

“Grandpa, can I ask you to take a picture of me?”

“Of course, Miss.”

[How much is 20kg of pure gold??]

[It’s not like you can take it out from above, there’s a hole in the side, so it’s really hard with just wrist strength]

I asked Grandpa Kamar to take a picture and stepped forward, pushing through the crowd.

“Is there really no one here? If you just take it out, you can take home the 20kg gold bar.”

“Me!”

“Ah! The next challenger is here…….”

The host turned to me at my voice and his eyes widened.

“Uh— That’s right, an incredibly beautiful challenger has appeared! Please cheer!!”

-Wow!!!!!!!!

The crowd inside the Dubai Airport was screaming for them to leave.

“Really! I wonder if this incredibly beautiful challenger I’ve never seen before will be able to take home the gold bar!”

As I approached the acrylic box containing the gold bar, I saw a crude gold bar inside.

“It’s really f*cking big.”

As I was mumbling while looking at the gold bars, the host spoke up.

“It seems like this challenger is a tourist.”

“That’s right. I came to sightsee.”

“Haha. That’s good. Even if you can’t get it out, don’t be disappointed and enjoy your tour of Dubai. Thank you.”

“Of course.”

[What is the boss saying?]

[I don’t know? Are you our boss?]

“If I take this out, I’ll give you the real thing, right?”

“Of course, I’ll give you the real thing. The thing inside the box is also a real gold bar. This is an event hosted by our Dubai International Airport, so you don’t have to worry.”

The gold bar was so large that it felt crude.

It didn’t really have a handle and it looked difficult for me to hold with my hands.

“Guys, I’m going to take the gold bar and retaliate economically.”

[You b*tch¬¬¬ Why are you suddenly retaliate economically against Dubai?]

[¬¬¬¬ Is that how it’s going to work?]

[Did we really have a conversation? It looks like I just said something random]

[It seems like it’s okay to bring gold from Dubai to our country, lol]

I waved at Grandpa Kamar, who was holding a cell phone stand, and put my hand into the hole on the side of the acrylic box.

“That pink-haired beauty who put her hand in without hesitation!! Her rabbit is also very cute. The time limit is 1 minute…”

Here.

No, I took it out, so it’s okay to take it, right?”

The gold bar came out in seconds as soon as I put my hand in.

It wasn’t easy to hold it with one hand if your hands aren’t big, so I held it with force, and upon closer inspection, there was a slight finger-shaped dent in the gold bar.

[????????]

[What the hell, 20 kilos, lol]

[Is Ga-eul a person?]

[It’s so funny how a middle-aged man is carrying gold bars around¬¬¬¬]

“You’re strong, Miss.”

[I can’t believe it even when I see it (“0”)]

I approached Grandpa Kamar and shook the gold bar I brought in front of my cell phone.

“Hey guys, look at this. There are countries like this in the world.”

[Oh, you crazy b*tch, stop waving the gold bars around¬¬¬ ===]

[Wow, I want to get hit with that one]

“Can I take this to Korea and sell it at a gold shop?”

[Is that possible¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬]

[Is this really true? How much is that??]

As I was waving the gold around and bragging, Grandpa Kamar looked dumbfounded.

“Miss, it’s dangerous to carry it around like that. Should I cash out your money?”

“Oh, I’ll be grateful.”

I’ve never bought gold or worn a gold ring, but I know that gold is expensive.

A wrought gold ring that doesn’t feel heavy costs over a million won, so I think it must cost tens, or even hundreds of millions.

I tried my best to act calm, but I couldn’t help but twitch the corners of my lips.

“C, congratulations! We finally have an owner of the gold bars!!”

As the talk about gold bars continued, the host, who seemed to have finally come to his senses, raised his voice.

[He must have come to his senses after being absent-minded]

[He must have been absent-minded because he easily brought the stuff the host left for him to do, lol]

[It looks so easy, who the hell is that guy who says that’s hard?]

[Clang!]

[Red Parade donated 1,000,000 won]

[He bought it as soon as the host got here? lol]

“Red, hi. I’m here for your land.”

[lol Was Dubai the chairman’s?]

“Excuse me. You’ve succeeded in the gold bar challenge, so I’d like to say a few words.”

The host must have felt frustrated because we were talking amongst ourselves without the host, so he came towards us with a microphone.

“I like Dubai.”

“Thank you. We have a photo shoot and an interview set up, is that a good time?”

The host, perhaps trying to get a kick out of it, said that he had prepared various things.

“I’m sorry, but let’s stop here. Our young lady has a busy schedule.”

“Huh? No, but…”

“Young lady, I’ve prepared a vehicle.”

Grandpa Kamar cut off the host’s words, as if he didn’t want me to take a photo, and led me outside.

“Is this okay? The gold bars must be really expensive.”

“They’re just cheap gold bars, and it’s really annoying to get involved in something like this.”

When we got out of the airport, a large limousine was waiting.

Grandpa Kamar accepted the gold bars from me, opened the back door of the vehicle, and escorted me out.

“Thank you.”

As we got into the vehicle, Grandpa took the wheel and drove off right away.

“Haha, they probably never thought they’d take gold bars. Even if they did, they probably assumed it would be for the big advertising effect. That’s why they were so hung up on me.”

“Oh, it was some kind of advertisement. How much is this gold bar?”

“Since it’s 20kg, it’s going to be around 1.6 billion won.”

“W-1.6 billion?”

“It may seem like a lot, but it’s not that expensive since it’s the amount set aside for advertising in Dubai.”

[Wow, crazy 1.6 billion? Kekekekekeke]

[Mom, I’m going to Dubai after I go to the gym kekeke]

[I just calculated and 20kg is 5333 won. It’s 1.6 billion won without tax]

[Ahkekekeke I’ll go to Dubai right now]

[Why do you use o o at the end of the chat? It stinks]

[Why the f*ck is this arguing]

My heart is pounding, and the viewers are going crazy too.

“You motherfuckers, why are you fighting among yourselves and causing trouble? Why don’t you stop?”

[The room leader keeps teasing me!!]

[Is that what you mean?]

[Ppupu, a train with a nickname]

“Hey, kids. If you don’t want to get beat up, stop teasing me.”

[0_~]

[x]

I guess he’s been building up anger inside since he’s been quiet lately.

Although he’s been very obedient in front of me, he was originally a hard-to-control brat.

“Isn’t there anyone who broadcasts really rudely and in a totally unscrupulous way?”

[Suddenly? There is one]

[There’s a really rude guy]

“There is? Then beat him up and come back and fight with your family.”

[Ah¬¬¬ I got permission, let’s go in!!]

[Heimdall, open the door!!]

[I thought I was going crazy because I kept getting trained by Ga-eul and my fingers were itching]

[You idiots, the portal has opened, let’s go in! Fighter Mega Punch]

“Kids, have fun and come home. Don’t touch too many dirty things, and come home on time because you have to eat dinner.”

[Yes, mamang]

[Where’s the host?]

“I have to go to the place I booked. I’ll unpack and rest a bit and then turn on the broadcast.”

[0_OK]

[We’ll go play, bye bye]

“Ongya, bye bye”

<Hangaeul ends the broadcast>

“Whew-“

As I took a deep breath, feeling my energy draining away, I heard a voice from the driver’s seat.

“Thank you for your hard work, miss. Would you like to go straight to the hotel?”

“Did Namir reserve a place for me to stay too?”

“I’ve prepared a nice hotel for you. Should I take you right away?”

“Hmm..-“

Looking out the window, I could see the sky gradually darkening.

“No, it’s a shame to go in right away.”

“Then there are quite a few things to see around where we’re going. The night view is quite pretty, so how about taking in the scenery before dinner and then going in?”

“That would be great.”

Grandpa Kamar told me to get some sleep because it would take quite some time to get there.

“What are you doing, Snow White?”

I couldn’t sleep because I kept sleeping on the plane, so I called out to play with Snow White, but there was no answer.

“Are you okay?”

I stared blankly out the window for a while, leaving Snow White hanging over my head and seemingly asleep.

“Miss, we’ve arrived.”

“Oh! You must have had a hard time driving.”

“No. I stopped before you got to the hotel so you could go sightseeing.”

Feeling frustrated, I hastily opened the car door and got out.

The first thing I saw was a hotel so tall that my neck hurt when I looked up.

“It’s tall.”

“Is Snow White awake?”

“Yes.”

I took a look at the hotel standing alone at the end of the bridge like an island and started walking around leisurely.

“Is the ice cream delicious?”

“It’s delicious.”

I shared the ice cream with Snow White and slowly walked down the street with a view of the sea.

There were many couples and foreign tourists around me.

There seemed to be more foreigners because it was near the hotel.

“What is Grandpa doing?”

I looked back and saw Grandpa Kamar talking to a man in a suit.

It seemed like he was working, so Snow White and I walked around diligently.

“The water is shining.”

“That’s a fountain.”

A luxurious sight.

I wondered when I would ever be able to enjoy such luxury if not now.

“I’ve changed a lot. I have money, and there are a lot of people who like me, and… Snow White is by my side.”

Instead of answering my monologue, Snow White patted my head.

“Hello, pretty girl?”

“Who?”

“Are you here to play alone? Are you a tourist?”

Suddenly, my heart was filled with emotion, and I was quietly looking at the beach when a group of people of various races spoke to me.

There was a white person, a black person, and someone wearing a white hood who looked like an Arab.

“It’s the same wherever you go.”

“Huh? What are they saying? It’s rude to speak in your native language when you come to a foreign country.”

I thought it was light small talk, but it wasn’t.

“Tch. Look at that girl, she’s so into it. I’ve never seen a woman like that in my life.”

“I’ll have a good night with me.”

You’re a rash that is used to use English.

I felt like I was in the gutter.

“I was eating and giving birth.”

His face hardens only when he spits out some spicy Korean trash talk.

“Have you ever heard of seaweed soup? It looks like you came out of a pot of shit and drugs, but I’ll teach you how to make it delicious. Open your useless ears and listen carefully.”
