Why Won't You Let Me Slack!?

Chapter 9

As the carriage descended into chaos with people looking to the authorities and news for help, the four teens were having a meeting of their own to decide what course of actions needed to be taken next.

"Alright hyung, hand over the fish."

"What are you-...no. No, not Coral!!!"

"It's the only way, kid. You heard what the furby said, 'kill one or more living creatures.' It's either them or us."

"..."

Although it took a bit, Kim Namwoon reluctantly handed over the fish. Handing one to each, they held the cold, slippery creatures within their grasps. But, just before they could truly begin, Bihyung had returned.

[Everyone, I've told you already. This isn't a game like 'terrorism.']

[Do you still not understand? This won't do. Do you feel like this is a game?]

No one dared to answer for fear of being used as part of the creatures' next example.

[Haha, according to the data, the people of this country are very good at games. So, why don't I try raising the difficulty?]

Beep. A huge timer appeared in the air. At the same time, it started decreasing rapidly.

[The remaining time has decreased by 10 minutes.]

[There are 10 minutes remaining.]

[If the first killing doesn't occur within the next five minutes, all lives in that carriage will be wiped out.]

*Squish*

"..."

[You have killed a living thing]

[You have achieved the 'First Kill' achievement!]

[100 coins have been earned as additional compensation.]

[You have killed a living thing]

[100 coins have been delivered as additional compensation.]

Without thinking, Cale had immediately squeezed his hand holding the fish once known as 'Bubbles.' Sure it made Kim Namwoon look like he was about to cry when he saw this, but some things just had to be done.

As they all killed their fish one by one, their eyes became filled with blue notification screens.

[You have killed 1,008 beings]

[kill history: 1 goldfish, 1,007 eggs]

(A/N: Google said from up to 1,000 at a time to 10,000 over the span of a week so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

[You have killed non-resistance living things, so the number of coins you acquire is reduced by half.]

[151,200 coins have been acquired!]

[You have a total of 151,200 coins.]

[The 'Mass Murderer' achievement has been gained through excessive killing.]

The teenagers stared at their screens.

"They were prego..?." Cale muttered.

The three older teens turned to look at him.

"...BUBBLES NO!!!" and Kim Namwoon became a wreck.

He was just barely getting over the idea of having to kill the fish, but now that he was hearing that they were pregnant? He started to actually cry since the others met the same fate while in the same condition as Bubbles.
