Netkama Punch!!!Chapter 22

Translator: mangoes

Editor: Girl from the East 6aCH1Q

 


After refusing to meet Shin Heejae, I didn’t log into the game. And for the first time in a while, I was watching YouTube.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

However, although I didn’t search for it, Shin Heejae’s channel popped up on my recommendation feed. Frowning, I clicked [Don’t recommend this channel], but then a small message notification popped up at the top of my phone.

[Hyejin] UF8 Es

[this is a lie, right?]

[(link)]

I hastily pressed the message notification, and below the link, Hyejin had sent an emoticon of a cat tilting its head.

In the preview that showed up on the link, as expected, Shin Heejae had uploaded a pink thumbnail called [Together with my lover♥Arcadia sweet pair♥].

“Damn it……!”

Scratching my ears in shame, I texted Hyejin,

[Me]

[let me explain…] QiuHvq

[Hyejin]

[no]

[oppa… perhaps, did you really become a netkama because I told you to try it?]

[ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠah shit lolololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololol] J0Vfgc

Hyejin filled the chatroom with endless laughter as she jumped to her own conclusions without knowing how I felt.

I felt like I reached the limit of my patience so I typed [stop] and stopped chatting, but Hyejin just switched to laughing with [ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ].

Come to think of it, it had been such a long time so I had forgotten that similar to Shin Heejae, Hyejin also liked to tease others and collect screenshots and videos of certain people. Of course, it’s better than Shin Heejae, but…….

[Hyejin] wh7Mjo

[what is with you two’s nicknames lol]

[amazing]

I warned Hyejin.

[Me] I5nM1Y

[stop it]

[Hyejin]

[ack lolololol im sorry i was wrong ><]

[lolol but how did you seduce him??] dnhx1G

I was thinking about sending another warning. I quickly gave up when I realized that even if I told her, Hyejin, who was currently extremely excited, wouldn’t listen.

[Me]

[He’s just following me around by himself…]

[Hyejin] edMEJj

[shit lololololol]

[That bastard has good eyes…]

[Me]

[?] ml7bBv

[Hyejin]

[i should be the only one who knows that oppa is cute lol]

While saying what she had always said, Hyejin giggled and laughed.

In the past, when Hyejin said this, I once wondered “Hey, do you possibly like me?” but I became aware that she didn’t. HCqiVj

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

Hyejin’s ‘cute’ is just like a word that sticks to the end of a sentence. Should I say it’s like a speaking habit? And Hyejin’s ideal type are rags……, is what I’ve been saying to myself…….

[oh come on]

[Hyejin]

[lololololololololololololololololololololololololololololol]

[heejae… this is all your karma…] GjWPZS

[Hyejin]

[hah, but… we can’t meet up with him and kick him, right? i wanted to go check once to see if his face was real, though ㅠㅠㅠ.. if not, should I go instead, oppa, and pretend to be you?]

[Me]

[that’s impossible] 2iRgVd

[Me]

[lolol no I just took the staff and told him to get lost lolol]

[the timing wasn’t right, so after I got the staff we somehow ended up fighting]

[Hyejin] QmLrsd

[oh oh then did you sell that staff??]

“…….”

I was speechless again this time.

I was silent because I didn’t know how to answer, but Hyejin seemed to be waiting for an answer, so I squeezed my brain to make an excuse. 8tR4m7

[Me]

[maybe it’s because it’s expensive… no one is buying it lolol]

[Hyejin]

[omg oppa!!!!!! You know Oaura server’s no.1 right?? Yoona] iZ4wW

[yesterday they broke their staff’s enchantment? so]

[because of that yoona has been looking for a +9 staff like crazy since yesterday]

[they’re a real pushover so its a chance to sell it at a high price lolololololololol]

Of course, I had to agree and take this chance, but I suddenly felt stuffy  and dizzy inside. However, Hyejin started to plan alone with a smile. mSHIiA

[Hyejin]

[If you just claim that it’s for the server transfer fee i feel like they would give itlololololol]

Chrysanthemum Garden.

[yoona is famous for good deals]

[and right now I’m in a group chat room that has yoona] 3k0 1T

[Hyejin]

[do you want me to give them your contact??]

Since Hyejin was taking it this far, there was no way to justify turning it down. And, Hyejin was also a person who would notice something strange if I refused this proposal.

I didn’t want to, but……. In the end, I was forced to accept Hyejin’s proposal. pUsfl3

[Me]

[lololol ok lets go]

[Hyejin]

[oppa, but tip me 100,000 won hehe] jhR9 O

[Me]

[who are you]

[Hyejin]

[lolololololololololololololololololololololololololololol] Sl5dTQ

[friendship is crazy right?]

[Me]

[lolol go try and bargain well…]

[Hyejin] DpyfUx

[yes!!lololololol]

Looking at the excited Hyejin, I was unhappy for some reason. It was like someone was cooly pushing my back towards the problems that had made me think about quitting several times.

[Yoona]

[Hello] oBRhdK

Hyejin connected me and Yoona with our messenger IDs in less than an hour.

Even after entering the chat, I didn’t say anything because I was hesitant for some reason, but Yoona greeted me as soon as she came in. Since then, I couldn’t ignore it, so I tried my best to answer.

[Me]

[Hello] YOUI6E

[Yoona]

[You’re selling a +9 staff, right?]

[Me]

[Yes] xZeiGt

[Yoona]

[Please show me the detailed options for the staff]

Please support our translators at chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

[Me]

[Oh, give me a second] MxzHF

Logging in…

[Yoona]

[Okay]

I accessed the game, opened the equipment window right away, and put the mouse cursor over the staff. RqGhT5

While taking screenshots to display the options on the staff well, I felt like I was being dragged to the slaughterhouse. I knew that it was the most expensive item to sell at this point, but I wasn’t excited at all. Even though it was an opportunity to make a lot of money without spending a penny of my own money. On the contrary, I started dawdling.

I pondered where this feeling of discomfort came from.

Is it because the options are so fraudulent…….”

While I was agonizing over an excuse that I couldn’t understand myself, Yoona had sent a question urging me. phLRmZ

I showed them a screenshot that I took at first glance. Yoona seemed quite happy to see the detailed options of the item.

[Yoona]

[That’s extremely goodㅎㅎ]

[It’s better than the one I used beforeㅎ] nyfJi2

[Me]

[Ah, yes…]

[Yoona]

[I’ll buy it, how much are you thinking?] zsB6hD

I knew in my head that about 12 million won was a price that could be sold quickly, but I kept thinking about it while buying time by chatting [Wait a minute].

I felt strangely uneasy. Of course, taking from such a powerful person would naturally make you feel anxious about how to clean up afterwards, but……. Rather, it was something more uncomfortable fundamentally.

How would Shin Heejae react if I took and sold the staff? Judging from the fact that he just gave it to me, it didn’t seem like it would have  much of an effect on him, but…….

“…….” d1auOc

I imagined Shin Heejae shaking with betrayal, and eventually stayed quiet.

However, from Yoona’s point of view, it seemed that dragging out my time was a strategy to raise the price. They presented a blank check in a cool manner, as if they had a gold spoon.

[Yoona]

[ㅎㅎ I’ll pay as soon as its said if it’s a reasonable price] 0MrzLD

[Give me your account]

[Me]

[No, that’s…]

[Yoona] f WjH4

[Do you have any other problems?]

[Me]

[No… it’s not a problem…]

[Yoona] X8xWwO

[But why are you taking so long…?]

[I heard you told the agent that you were in a hurry]

I couldn’t say anything at Yoona’s sudden appearance of irritation. In fact, I had been dragging on for more than 30 minutes after the first word of our transaction began.

In addition, when Yoona mentioned the organizer, I was anxious that if the deal was destroyed here, Hyejin would hear about it. 1klinN

“I’ll sell it for 18 million won.

As a result, I ended up asking a far-fetched price. I was embarrassed after sending it. No matter how one  said it, it was because it was ridiculous enough to feel like a joke.

…sounds like something he would do.

Translator's Note

reminder: crying emote

Translator's Note

reminder: also crying, ㅠ and ㅜ are interchangable

Translator's Note

Refers to that the other party is dirty/used.

Essentially, it means slut. In this context it’s a bit less harsh, but still the same idea.

Translator's Note

I am a simple man, so ignoring the huge fluctuations in kr won right now, 12mil won is roughly 12000CAD/9000USD.

Translator's Note

Someone born rich – in general, having the ability to spend a ton of money.

Translator's Note

18000CAD/14000USD. Thats a HUGE jump.. and a lot for an ingame staff :)

Hello!! For those that were unaware, my wrists were injured(?). They hurt, mostly due to incorrect gaming postures while raiding endlessly in ffxiv :,). I sent an announcement in the discord expecting it to get better in a week or two, but I underestimated the severity. It has been a few months and although its not completely healed, its enough for me to feel comfortable translating more. 6zVFUi

Going to take a while to get back into the hang of formatting (eg. the raws do not add anything to differentiate speakers during text, and context is enough for korean, but it is different in english.. so I add the names manually). So apologies in advance for any inconsistencies! I’ll be working to fix those as continue, but please @ me in the typo channel on discord if you find anything haha. Thank you to everyone who have been waiting!

I’ll also be attempting to get some faster updates out if my wrists end up fine after this (the translating part had to take multiple sittings lol), especially concerning what Seyoung is doing right now… exciting.

  1. Take care of yourself, wrists usually takes long to heal be careful while using your hand!

    And thank u for the update <3333

  2. Hi, I really appreciate your translation

    But I was wondering if u had the raws, because I’m really eager to read ahead….

    Truth be told I already tried finding misa/mango on discord, but I’m a real discord idiot… QAQ

    So, I gotty try my luck here.

    • I do! If you’re unable to find me or misa, I can DM you using your discord. Or, if youre in the CG discord, you can ping me (just search up mango).

      I feel you.. I actually have skimmed the next few chapters and I regret it because I have a long way to go orz its very exciting though!!

      • I am an idiot there is a way easier way to do this. Misa attached a link to the raws on the home page of the novel, right below the title and author

        • Thx a lot. :3

          Tho I still hope your wrist is gettin better, after all mtl can never replace the joy of reading a good novel properly translated.

  3. 😭Don’t sell it!!!! Your hubby will most likely feel bad if it gets sold just like this. Or…. He will be all like: “Noona, you need money? You should have told me. Her you got all you need, just give me your bank account number.” 😁 Wish you a fast recovery. 🙂

  4. Si vendería un producto tan caro cómo ese pero solo después de un tiempo o simplemente le preguntaría a la persona que me lo dio si puedo venderlo o no
