The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 270 - Return to the Real World
...Developer Room...
"Congratulations on his victory, Mr. Eric." Said a man with glasses thick enough.
He is one of the executive organizers of this international competition event.
Eric who was currently sitting casually accompanied by Lisa and also Rendy was shaking his hand calmly.
"A victory so thin that I could not accept it." Eric replies with a faint smile.
"Don't go too low, Mr. Eric."
A light conversation accompanies their meeting. In the end, the thing that Eric had been waiting for the most had arrived.
"For the prize, you will receive 700 million US Dollars. After the tax deduction and some other things, you will get a net prize of 548 million US Dollars. Everything we've transferred into the 5 accounts you mentioned." Clearly the glasses guy was in detail.
After having Eric sign some papers handed to him, the glasses guy turned his attention to Lisa.
"Then to Miss Lisa. You have a support value of 99.6% making you receive a net prize of 544 million US Dollars. The account address is appropriate on those three accounts, right?" Ask the man while making sure.
Lisa who heard that only nodded lightly without the slightest expression on her face.
Meanwhile Rendy could only gap very wide and widen her eyes as wide as possible.
He whispered something that Eric himself thought was very strange.
"Masbro's. That much money.... Can you buy how much smoked meat? I'll ask for a deal."
Hearing that, Eric only smiled faintly while patting Rendy on the shoulder.
"Why treat yourself. I've put about 10% of this reward income into your account."
Rendy who was slow to understand it could only thank him without knowing how much money was sent to him. That's 500 billion rupiah more. That money was even enough to make her retire and live a luxurious life her entire life.
The news of Eric's victory in the FFA PvP is quite horrendous world because not only the name of Indonesia, but also proves that ordinary players seem to be able to win with hard training.
Most of the young men aged 14 to 35 years began to be inspired and make Eric as his idol. They even began to worship Eric as a top player from Indonesia.
However, the real furore happened because three rich High School children suddenly spent about 100,000 rupiah per person to support Eric.
Several video interviews of the three high school children have been watched hundreds of millions of times on MeTube. Most of them are happy with them. But some were envious and annoyed at not supporting Eric because of the predictions of experts who said that Eric could not have won with such a bad prefix.
In the video, three young men still wearing white-gray uniforms were seen on the side of the road.
"So how are you feeling right now? Knowing that only the three of you are crazy enough to support Eric who has been confirmed to lose it besides representatives from his company?" Asked a short black haired woman in that black suit. He was a rookie journalist who debuted with news of this magnitude.
One of the three high school boys came forward and took the mic nervously.
"Ju-honestly, we're just a fad. Mr. Eric was our idol a long time ago. Maybe Mr. Eric didn't realize it but he's the one who made us focus on playing Re:Life and working hard in the Farna Kingdom to support him. That's all happened since we saw Mr. Eric saving Tortuga port.
Therefore ignoring all the words of those who claim to be experts, we continue to include support for Mr. Eric. Well, even if it's just a little money." It was clearly the boy with a very detailed explanation.
Question after question was thrown by the journalist relentlessly. The three high school boys answered everything clearly.
Little by little, a crowd of people began to surround the three High School boys. Officers from the television station immediately confronted everyone who approached.
Until finally, the most controversial and most anticipated question by everyone arrived.
"So, what will each of you do with this 7 billion rupiah that you 'accidentally' earned?"
The first boy who had his hair dyed somewhat yellow replied.
"I'll give everything but 200 million rupiah to my parents. It's because I'm stupid and will definitely soon spend all the money I have on games."
"I'll use it to treat my best friend's mother from a strange illness. The rest I don't know, I'll think about it later."
And lastly, the boy with rather long black hair who was wearing those glasses started to reply.
"I'll follow in Mr. Eric's footsteps and invest 80% of his money in some places. Then I'll open a business just like Mr. Eric so it can be rich like him. Then the rest I'll give it to my brother who took care of me all this time."
The answer they all have in common is not to take it all for themselves even if they win it.
Of course, Eric who realized the existence of three high school boys who accidentally won the prize immediately sent some employees. The goal is very simple, to protect them from bad things that might be threatening.
Even Eric has sent business opportunities to all of them.

...The Competition Waiting Room...
...Team Indonesia...
"Yahaha! You're really amazing, Eric! I didn't think you could beat Angie at the game just now!" Shouted Inspiration while laughing loudly in accordance with his trademark.
"Stop that. My victory is only two possibilities - Angie giving up or I'm lucky." Reply Eric with a flat face while drinking the happy soda.
Lisa who was beside him also sat quietly. While Rendy seems to enjoy all the food ordered by Eric to celebrate his victory.
On the side of the table next to him, Angie was drinking a slightly dark purplish-colored drink with a barbarian.
He sipped it straight from the bottle without moving it into the glass first.
"Flamey! Eric! I do not accept my defeat! As soon as we return to Indonesia, fight with me once again! No, three more times!" Angie shouted with a face that looked slightly drunk.
Hearing Angie's words, Eric who was previously quite calm now began to slightly widen his eyes. He couldn't believe what he had just heard.
"Wait first. We were? Back to Indonesia? Don't you live in America? Los Angeles?" Ask Eric to make sure Angie says.
"Huh?! What the fuck?! I've decided to buy one of your apartment units and live close to you!"
Lisa who heard that narrowed her eyes slightly.
'Miss Elin, why haven't you returned my message?! This situation is very dangerous!' Lisa thought in her heart.
The party continued very lively until late at night. Or more accurately if it is called morning because the wall clock shows the number 03.29.
"Masbro's. You want to go home?" Rendy asked who saw Eric standing up from his chair.
Almost everyone was pat and asleep on the table. Some even sleep on the sofa or on the floor with a makeshift pedestal.
The only ones currently awake are Eric, Rendy and Lisa.
It was all because the three of them had gotten used to living in the condition of 'Overworked' or overwork. Sleep 2 hours a day? That was more than enough for Eric.
"No. I just want to get some fresh air. Lisa, Ren. Come with me."
The three of them decided to leave the room.
What awaits them outside the room....
"So you're Eric? Come with us. There's a business matter we want to talk to you about."
They are all players from Europe who have been eyeing Eric ever since.
