Absolute on the Mound

1.

“Ugh.”

With a short groan, Lee Jin-yong opened her eyes shruggedly.

The ceiling of his studio room is visible, and as he turns his head, he sees a mattress.

Then Lee Jin-yong realized that she was sleeping on the cold floor of the room with the bed mattress by her side.

‘Why did I suddenly have an ice link in my dream? You didn't say anything, did you? ’

I could see further.

Mnh-mnh.

A ghost lying on a bed mattress instead of herself, begging for a nap.

“Phew.”

As soon as I saw the ghost, Lee Jin-yong was ridiculous.

It was so ridiculous that the accident stopped for a while.

I remembered yesterday's memory in his head that was so empty.

“Ugh!”

With that memory came a terrible headache.

‘You're home, Yonker. I'm here because I'm alive. ’

Last night, Black Tigers, who had succeeded in a remarkable turn of events at the end of the seventh round, immediately started a drinking party with violent cheer.

Even on the weekends, the spirits started with the idea of burning to alcohol again.

And Lee Jin-yong enjoyed the drink.

“Ugh.”

He was exempt from all meal and drink expenses because he was the MVP of the competition.

‘I drank too much for free. ’

It's natural for a film to be cut.

In addition, it was also natural for Lee Jin-yong to go to the bathroom immediately.

Give it to me!

‘You drank a lot. ’

I smiled bitterly at binary who was checking last night's alcohol with constant urine output.

As soon as I vomited everything I drank last night, I could think of Lee Jin-yong.

"Ah!"

Joon-hyung Park, I remembered the battle with him.

‘You got it.'

He was the best batsman of all the batsmen he had dealt with since he started baseball.

Of course, Lee Jin-yong was the best batsman in high school, but Park Jun-hyung's skill was definitely a skill that would work well even in the pros.

A monster who hasn't played baseball in six years can never be beat.

Nonetheless, Lee Jin-yong won.

‘I caught that monster. ’

It was a win because of the challenge.

At the same time, Lee Jin-yong could realize.

‘Ah.'

“Wheel!”

Challengers can taste that much sweetness in return for failing.

‘What's next? ’

Bronze Wheel Pass!

‘If you get golden again, it's great. ’

Lee Jin-yong who was sober immediately woke up Kim Jin-ho who was asleep on the mattress.

“Jinho Kim, Jinho Kim. ”

Huh? Huh? What the hell?

“Get up."

What's going on?

“I'll spin the wheel. ”

Wheel.

After rubbing his two translucent eyes, Kim Jin-ho woke up. Then, after floating, I stood behind Lee Jin-yong's back.

Hey, let's check your stats first.

“Stats?”

Gambling addicts make endless bets, and battlers place bets after knowing their situation.

“Is that so?”

No, I'm just saying. Where's such a thing in gambling? You're an addict when you lose a battle.

In saying that, Lee Jin-yong activated his stats window with a smile.

[Lee Jin-yong]

Max HP: 59

Max. Restraint: 107 kilometers

Owned by: Fossil Fastball (E), Chain Up (E), Slider (F), Curve (F)

You Have Skill: Before the Due Date (F)

“Your maximum restraint is two kilometers higher than last time. It's because I'm unhinged. ”

How many arrests have you been in?

“In high school? ”

Whenever you're in high school, how many of the fastest balls you've ever thrown in baseball?

“I did 130 degrees with a speed gun. ”

That's disgusting.

“No, 130 is a good shot! ”

I have a slider about 130 kilometers on a bad day.

“So what do you want to say? ”

Given the speed gun imprisonment, the average fastball imprisonment is in the early 120s.

“That's right.”

What have you thrown the most?

“I threw 123 at the Golden Lion in High 2. Of course, since I was over 80, I couldn't tell if I was throwing a ball or if it was pulling my shoulder out. ”

To sum up, you have a physical that can throw an 80-year-old fastball in the mid-120s.

“That was six years ago. ”

Six years ago, I was in high school, so I'm only twenty-four now.

At that moment, Kim Jin-ho said briefly.

Let's start with the body. The wheel is also a wheel, and it would be much better for you to regain your skills six years ago than to spin the wheel now. If we just focus on training for half a year, we can do it.

“Yes? Half a year? ”

Lee Jin-yong's expression was firm in Kim Jin-ho's words.

“Kim Jin-ho, I have to work. ”

Oh, is that so? So in the future, you can collect points against baseball players who are two points in a social baseball league. At the age of thirty, would you be able to throw a ball in the basement?

Lee Jin-yong tightly bit his teeth in front of Kim Jin-ho, who explicitly said with a sarcastic tone.

However, Lee Jin-yong did not lodge any complaints against Kim Jin-ho at this moment.

Kim Jinho was right.

‘Twenty-four this year. You're still young. ’

Lee Jin-yong is still young.

‘But two years later, 26. ’

But like all men, youth is not eternal.

Especially for sports players.

‘These two years are big. ’

For a professional, a year in his 20s is the most valuable day of his life.

In such situations, Lee Jin-yong spends 2-3 years at work in a society called baseball?

Stupid.

At least if you want to reimagine the dream when Lee Jin-yong started baseball, you should not do that much.

On the contrary, it was clear that Lee Jin-yong had to do to fulfill his dream.

“Kim Jin-ho. ”

Why do you call?

“Could you write me a rehab training manual? I've never done that before. ”

Kim Jin-ho smiled and said.

It's like a training manual. It's gum. Now that you're ready, let's spin the wheel. Now, let's pray to God. Give me one more gold medal this time.

“No, yesterday you cursed me for needing this game balance patch. ”

Would you like that? Walk the grudge of a 10-year-old ghost?

“Go ahead and try it. Seeing how it feels, I think it's gold again. ”

Damn it. Beginner's luck, too. You'll get the Bronze Cannes this time anyway.

“It comes in gold. ”

It looks like shit to me.

At the end of the conversation, Lee Jin-yong immediately activated the wheel through the baseball manager.

Then I shouted.

“Turn around!”

Turn around!

Then the wheel starts to spin vigorously.

And then the wheel stopped.

It's a scam. How could you do this? Turn around! Do it again!

“Wow! Wow! ”

The golden light flashed in their eyes.

2.

[Change Sphere Potion]

Rank: Gold

Effect: Promotes one grade of sphincter to rank B.

“Yay!”

Lee Jin-yong turned his head in amazement.

“Have you seen it?”

It's a scam. Damn it, I voted for $1,000, but where does one million dollars go in a row?

“It's here somewhere. ”

Oh, I don't know. It's a scam. It's a scam!

“Yes, report it to the police. Can I borrow your phone? ”

Finally, Lee Jin-yong began to dance with a snort of joy.

I had to.

Twice I turned the Bronze Wheel and it hooked onto a gold box containing only one of the 100 slots.

It bursts in a row.

“With this strength, you can get into the pros with ten turns of the wheel. Hahaha!”

Don't like it. There's an old saying, "One foot is one foot."

“The beginning is half the story," they said. ”

Tsk! George is going to be thrilled with this training manual.

“Yes? What? ”

No, I didn't say anything. I'm celebrating, seriously.

“I think I just heard the declaration of George's will on my training manual. ”

You heard wrong. Or hear things. I need to see you. Make some medicine.

“If you hear anything, go to Wudang. How about a good one? Or should I go to a shrine? Do you want to hear a story about Mahavan? ”

Kim Jin-ho bit his lips tightly in front of Lee Jin-yong, who didn't say a word.

Lee Jin-yong started to sing a nostril as if to see her in front of Kim Jin-ho.

“Oh, it's ringing. ”

It was the smartphone that ended the silly sight.

Lee Jin-yong stopped dancing and quickly held her smartphone and touched it.

“Oh, dear.”

The sender's father, the moment he checked the letter, said after he uttered the sound of Lee Jin-yong's suffering.

“What's going on? Oh, it's over. Of course, I won. I came up with a crisis and I saved it. Of course.”

The call that started it was long.

As if going back six years, Lee Jin-yong proudly spoke in front of his father about his role in the game, explaining from one to ten, and his father enjoyed it.

Kim Jin-ho, who was listening to the conversation, smiled.

I wanted to be a professional baseball player, but Lee Jin-yong folded his baseball for a lot of reasons.

His father liked baseball more than anyone and wanted his son to be a baseball player so much, but he had to just keep his son from giving up baseball because of himself.

In six years, they had the courage to talk about baseball and their winning themes, and Kim Jin-ho couldn't stop or interrupt them.

Kim Jinho gladly smiled in front of the rich man's conversation.

Soon after the call ended, Lee Jin-yong looked at his smartphone and shook her head.

“Anyway, I can't stop loving my dad's baseball. Oh, what else did I tell you? ”

Then Lee Jin-yong pays attention to Kim Jin-ho again.

Then Kim Jinho asked him a question.

Hey, you said Joon-hyung Park was on the Cat Thing Team yesterday.

“Cat Stars. It's an Independent League team, only three people went there last year. Some kind of semi-pro? ”

You go in there.

“Yes?”

If you really want to play baseball, you have to jump onstage. There's more to it than baseball, right?

“But I have to pass the trials. ”

Then we need to build up enough to get through the triage. So just tell the boss.

“The boss?”

Prepare your severance pay.

“Ahh · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

In saying that, I looked at the smartphone.

Soon, Lee Jin-yong closed her eyes tightly.

Reality and Anomalies.

Between the two, I began to suffer again.

In the agony, a man's voice tickles his ear.

Oh, yeah, that's my boy!

‘Father.'

The voice of my father who had been speaking to himself in a really joyful way for a long time.

In his voice, Lee Jin-yong opened her eyes wide.

And at the same time, Jin Yong brought out his dreams in the sea of forgetfulness, far away.

“Kim Jinho, please take good care of him. ”

Being a pro baseball player.

Lee Jin-yong started dreaming again.

“By the way, what should we upgrade, Kim Jin-ho? ”

Hey, of course there's only one thing I need to upgrade here.

“What is it?”

The only helper that a slow pitcher can survive!

“One?”

It's a chain business.

And Kim Jinho started cheering for the dream.
