“Huh? Yang Chun Gak’s lightning-fast delivery…?”
Lee Geum-dong, a young man who was quite famous for his one-man broadcasts, lived in Blue House, one of the apartment buildings in the same neighborhood as Yang Chun Gak.
One-man broadcasting, which had been around for a while, faced a new turning point when gates opened and monsters appeared.
Thanks to fearless one-man broadcasters, information about gates and monsters could be obtained quickly, but when a scene of a broadcaster actually being eaten by a monster was broadcast, the world was turned upside down.
Thus, the regulations were changed so that only hunters could broadcast on the subject of gates and monsters.
Lee Geum-dong was an unawakened, that is, an ordinary person.
Therefore, he couldn’t do broadcasts about gates and monsters, which were lucrative.
But he had an idea, and the program he was currently broadcasting was gaining popularity.
The name of his program was ‘Let’s Verify with Geum-dong.’ In other words, he would personally check and verify various rumors and myths of the world.
His broadcasts had quite an impact, and many myths and rumors were proven false, resulting in a barrage of comments.
Lee Geum-dong was enjoying the reactions, if not the income, so he continued broadcasting.
“Sigh, what should I broadcast about this time? I’ve done over two hundred episodes, I’m running out of material!”
Lee Geum-dong, who was 고민ing about the content for his weekly broadcast, was scrolling through SNS on his phone.
– Story about seeing a will-o’-the-wisp at the reservoir in our neighborhood.
“I already debunked that. It’s just a glow-in-the-dark fishing bobber.”
– Hey guys, do you know that there are ghosts in the closed-down ××× hospital?
“Hey! That’s fake. It was on the news yesterday.”
As he searched for material for a long time, he found an interesting post.
– I ordered jajangmyeon from Yang Chun Gak yesterday, and it was really fast! It takes 10 minutes just to get here, but the delivery arrived in less than 10 minutes! This is what you call lightning-fast delivery?
– Their delivery has always been known to be fast.
– I wonder if they’re speeding and running red lights?
– I ordered yesterday too. Super fast.
Lee Geum-dong laughed in disbelief.
“What? The Chinese restaurant must have been right in front of their house.”
It didn’t matter. What he enjoyed was people’s reactions, not the facts.
He launched the map app and checked the distance between Blue House and Yang Chun Gak.
‘It would take at least 10 minutes to get here by motorcycle.’
Usually, when you order jajangmyeon at a Chinese restaurant, it takes at least 5 minutes for the food to be cooked and served.
Considering the delivery time, it should take at least 15 minutes for the delivery to arrive, no matter how fast it was.
Lee Geum-dong decided on the broadcast content.
“Welcome! Everyone. Today, I’m ready to sacrifice myself for your curiosity on another episode of ‘Let’s Verify with Geum-dong’.”
– What are we verifying today?
– I’m looking forward to it.
The comment section was, as usual, about to explode.
“Today, we’re going to verify this.”
Lee Geum-dong displayed a screenshot of the SNS post on the screen and said,
“Yang Chun Gak’s lightning-fast delivery. We’re going to verify if the delivery really arrives within 10 minutes.”
– Ah, I know that place. Their jajangmyeon is delicious.
– There’s a super handsome part-timer.
– I heard that guy also does deliveries?
– I heard he’s an F-rank awakened with a running ability, so he delivers himself?
– He’s a speedster.
– No, no. Let’s call him Silver Bullet, it sounds classier.
– If you insult our part-timer oppa, in the name of justice, I won’t forgive you!

Looking at the comment section, Lee Geum-dong picked up his phone.
“I’m going to order tangsuyuk and jajangmyeon right now. It’s 11 AM, so it’s not rush hour yet, so I don’t think there will be any problems with the verification method.”
He dialed the number on his phone and placed an order.
“Yes, this is Blue House…”
As soon as he hung up, he pressed the button on the large timer on the screen.
“Will it really arrive within 10 minutes? While we wait, let’s listen to a song.”
While listening to a song and chatting, the doorbell rang.
Ding-dong-!
“Who is it?”
“It’s Yang Chun Gak!”
At those words, Lee Geum-dong was startled.
The time was 7 minutes and 37 seconds.
The delivery had arrived in less than 10 minutes.
Lee Geum-dong quickly went out, took the food, and showed it on the broadcast.
“Everyone. Don’t be surprised. The delivery really arrived in less than 10 minutes.”
– I told you so!
– Why don’t you believe people?
– This is crazy lol
Donations started pouring in from the comment section.
“Thank you! I will use the donations you gave me for the broadcast.”
– Order again.
– Verification is usually done three times.
At those comments, Lee Geum-dong ordered jjampong this time, and the jjampong also arrived within 7 minutes.
– But why don’t you show the part-timer oppa’s face?
– Show us the part-timer oppa’s face!
– Show us!
– Show us!
– If you don’t show us our part-timer oppa’s face, in the name of justice…
– For inquiries about joining ‘Yang-ppa-mo’, click the link below…
Lee Geum-dong didn’t understand the comments.
‘Is that part-timer really that handsome? To the point of having a fan club?’
He had seen a picture of the part-timer before. It was a surreptitiously taken photo, so it was blurry, but he was definitely handsome.
‘Is it a setup?’
However, he couldn’t tell if the deliveryman who had just come was that handsome.
‘Well, he was wearing a helmet with goggles that covered up to his nose.’
So this time, he decided to take his camera and go get the food himself.
This time, he ordered fried rice, and it arrived in exactly 7 minutes and 30 seconds.
Ding-dong-!
“It’s Yang Chun Gak!”
“Yes! Just a moment!”
Lee Geum-dong went out with his camera to get the food.
“Here you go. That’ll be 7,000 won.”
“Yes.”
When Lee Geum-dong handed over his card, the deliveryman skillfully processed the payment with a card reader and handed back the card and receipt.
“Here you go. Enjoy your meal.”
“Yes. Thank you. Um, excuse me…”
But the deliveryman had already disappeared from his sight.
He went to the elevator to try and catch him, but the elevator wasn’t even moving.
He couldn’t hear any footsteps running down the stairs either.
‘Wh-What the? This is the 15th floor of the apartment building?’
He felt a chill down his spine, but since he was in the middle of a broadcast, he quickly composed himself and continued.
“I tried to show you the deliveryman’s face for you all, but unfortunately, I couldn’t. Anyway, we have now verified whether Yang Chun Gak’s lightning-fast delivery is real. And the result of the verification is that it is real.”
Just then, someone commented.
– But are you just going to throw away the food you ordered today?
– It was jajangmyeon, tangsuyuk, jjampong, and fried rice, right?
– It’s trash if you really throw away the food.
– There are so many people starving because of the monsters.
– Surely, you won’t throw it away.
– Please eat it all.
– Instead of this, we need proof. It’s lunchtime now, so eat it quickly.
Someone once said.
That public opinion is a very scary thing.
As a one-man broadcaster who lived off the interest and love of his fans, he couldn’t ignore their demands.
“Alright. Then I will eat all the food I ordered today.”
He put the camera back on the tripod and looked at the food.
Honestly, it was a lot.
‘This is almost enough for four people? No, the tangsuyuk is a medium size, so it’s enough for six people?’
He suddenly felt overwhelmed, but the die had been cast.
“Well, what should I eat first?”
– Eat the jajangmyeon first.
– Jajangmyeon gets soggy if you leave it too long.
Lee Geum-dong removed the plastic wrap from the jajangmyeon and mixed it well with his chopsticks. Because it had been delivered so quickly, it hadn’t gotten soggy yet and mixed well without being lumpy.
“Then I’ll eat.”
Lee Geum-dong closed his eyes tightly and put a large mouthful of jajangmyeon into his mouth.
Munch, munch…
“…!”
Lee Geum-dong was instantly surprised.
“De-Delicious!”
He had heard that Yang Chun Gak’s jajangmyeon was delicious, but he had been skeptical and had only used the Chinese restaurant near his house.
But this was unexpected.
– Really?
– I told you Yang Chun Gak’s jajangmyeon is delicious!
“It’s really delicious! Everyone!”
– But you eat really well.
– Slurp! I’m going to order jajangmyeon today.
And so, thanks to the verification of Yang Chun Gak’s lightning-fast delivery, Lee Geum-dong discovered his talent for mukbang.

“I’m back.”
Gang-so returned after collecting the delivery dishes.
“Good work.”
Yoo Soon-tae greeted him.
“That Blue House customer.”
“Ah, the one who ordered a medium tangsuyuk, jajangmyeon, jjampong, and fried rice?”
“They must have a huge appetite. When I went to deliver, they were definitely alone, but the dishes were completely empty.”
“Wow, some people are like that, huh?”
“Well, there are all kinds of people. Let’s do the dishes.”
“Okay.”
Gang-so took the dishes to be washed into the kitchen, roughly organized them, and put them in the sink.
This was when Gang-so’s true abilities came into play.
After filling the sink with water, he put the dishes in and used his internal energy. The water in the sink began to heat up thanks to his energy.
In addition, when he used his internal energy to create gentle vibrations in the water, the vibrations would neatly remove even the dried-on food debris and grease.
He was practically a human dishwasher.
After rinsing the dishes one by one with dish soap, he would hand them over to Yoo Soon-tae. Then it was Yoo Soon-tae’s turn.
He would take the dishes Gang-so handed him, rinse them in water, put them on the sterilizer tray, and then put them in the sterilizer for hot steam sterilization.
There were a lot of dishes, but the dishwashing was finished in less than an hour.
“Good work.”
“It was nothing.”
Just then, Lim So-young came down from the second floor.
“I’m going to pick up Ha-young.”
At those words, Gang-so’s eyes lit up.
“May I go with you?”
These days, Gang-so was enjoying going to pick up Ha-young.
At Yoo Soon-tae’s question of whether it was a bother, Gang-so shook his head and said,
“It’s fun to see the world.”
“You see the world when you make deliveries too, don’t you?”
“That’s different. When I’m delivering, I’m moving fast, so I don’t have time to look around.”
“I guess that’s true.”
“Then we’ll be going.”
“I’m going to rest a bit.”
Yoo Soon-tae slumped over the table, and Lim So-young and Gang-so headed to Seedling Kindergarten to pick up Ha-young.
Gang-so thought.
He wished that every day could be as peaceful and enjoyable as this.
‘Really, if I could just live like this, I wouldn’t ask for anything more.’
He sometimes missed the girl from the world he used to live in, but he decided to believe that she was doing well.
‘By the way, what is the purpose of that Go So-ra teacher at Ha-young’s kindergarten, disguising herself as a teacher?’
Go So-ra was still at Seedling Kindergarten, and Gang-so was curious about her উদ্দেশ্য.
Suddenly, his gaze turned to the Hunter Assembly building in front of the kindergarten.
‘Could it be? That place?’
It was an important building, so his guess was probably correct.
Gang-so thought.
‘They’re working hard, too. It’s because of the sacrifices of many people that the current peace is maintained.’
He felt grateful to the Awakened Association staff who were still working hard in unseen places, and he followed Lim So-young.
‘Hmm?’
Gang-so turned around.
Because he felt a strange energy from the place he had just passed.
It was a narrow alley near the Hunter Assembly.
And the energy lingering there was definitely the heterogeneous demonic energy he had felt in the place called the Land of Death.
‘Why is this energy here?’
When Gang-so didn’t follow, Lim So-young asked,
“What’s wrong, Uncle Gang-so?”
“It’s nothing.”
At that moment, a gust of wind blew and scattered the demonic energy remaining in the alley.
Gang-so looked at the Hunter Assembly building.
‘It’ll probably be… alright?’
