From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

Chapter 993: Demoted



- Our boy is so unlucky.

- Seriously. Even Bangsoo landed on a platform already!

- What's with this kid's luck? I thought he said it wasn't that bad.

-It is bad. My baby just got immune to it.

- What will he step on next?

Contrary to what June had said, it seemed like his luck hadn't recovered at all.

Maybe it was partially his fault for jinxing it.

However, he tried his best not to show he was getting annoyed.

"This is your fourth box, June," Eunho said, sounding amused. "If you land on another dud, then you will be demoted to Bangsoo's level."

Bangsoo sighed as he looked at his cream-covered feet. "Come and join me as a servant," he said.

Jaeduck chuckled. "No, if June steps on another dud, then you'd automatically be promoted to be a pig pen boy. The ranking will move up!"

Bangsoo looked relieved. He had stepped on three consecutive duds before he finally saved himself. The others had gotten a good box on their first or second try. Jumi even landed on three good boxes before deciding to opt out! As a result, she was the richest among them. June was on his fifth box now, and he still hadn't landed on a good box.

He had stepped on tomatoes, brick toys, soap, and soy sauce thus far.

He raised his hand. "Can I stop here?" he asked.

The cast members laughed, finding the young idol amusing.

"Come on now," Jaeduck said. "Don't you want to try out your luck?"

"Yeah!" Shinchan chimed in. "Besides, if you get a good box for this one, then Bangsoo stays as a servant while you become a pig pen boy."

"Unless you want to be stuck as a servant with Bangsoo now?" he asked.

June pursed his lips and sighed. He had already stepped on too many atrocious things. There was no harm in trying again, right?

At times like this, he wished he still had Fu. However, he didn't know whether he would actually make a difference in the situation.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

June shook his head to get rid of such thoughts and look for another box instead.

He stopped at the farthest one-where no one had reached yet.

"This one," he pointed, making the cast members intrigued.

"It's going to be legendary if you step on another bad box," Jeewoo said.

Jumi clicked her tongue and pinched the older man's side. "Don't say that."

"Oww!" Jeewoo exclaimed. "You're defending him too much."

Jumi sighed and shook her head. "I feel bad," she said. "I think we finally have someone to counter Bangsoo's bad luck."

Shinchan nodded in agreement. "Well, at least he got lucky in the face department."

Bangsoo glared at them. "Again, I say nothing, but I still feel involved."

"Shh," Jaeduck said. "He's going to jump now."

They paid attention to June, who looked awfully nervous for his sixth jump.

- Aww, June looks so cute!

- I want to hold his hand.

- This is hilarious! Even if this kid does not try to be funny, I'm still amused.

- That's the June effect.

After plucking enough courage, June finally jumped, wanting to land on something steady.

It felt like that—only for a brief moment. However, he began to sink, causing his eyes to go wide.

"What is this?" he exclaimed, looking at the white goo that covered his feet. "Oobleck?"

The cast members burst into laughter after June landed on another bad box.

Bangsoo raised his hand in victory. "Yes!" he exclaimed. "I got promoted."

Meanwhile, Rowoon and Niki shook their heads in disbelief.

"Waah," Niki said. "I take everything I've said back. I got a good box on my second try. I might actually have good luck."

"I got it on the first try," Rowoon said. "I think that comedian friend of mine also took my bad luck away with him."

"Please help me," June said after a while, capturing their attention.

While laughing, the older cast members helped June out of the cornstarch and water

suspension.

"Oh, what a cute boy," Jumi said. "You really can't help but adore him."

June smiled at the compliment. However, he wasn't entirely happy. His feet were covered in

all sorts of things!

He hesitantly raised his hand. "Can I have some time to wash my feet?"

They laughed once more, finding June amusing.

"Don't worry," the producer chuckled. "Those whose ranks had changed will now change into their outfits."

June pursed his lips. "Yeah, that would be good."

Eunho burst into laughter. "It's not too bad, kid."

June shook his head. "I shouldn't have taken the last jump. Maybe then, I could be a servant with Bangsoo."

Bangsoo raised his hand. "Don't call me a servant no more, June. I'm a pig pen boy now!"

With that, those whose ranks had been changed went inside the mansion to get changed. Meanwhile, Jumi decided to treat everyone with the money she had earned during the mission.

There were some fruits and other treats on the table. It was perfect for the weather.

They chowed down on it as the members came out one by one.

She clicked his tongue when Bangsoo tried to snatch some of the gummies on the table.

"That's not for you," she said.

Bangsoo's eyebrows furrowed. "I thought you bought this for all of us."

"Yeah, but those are for June," Jumi said with an innocent smile.

Bangsoo pursed his lips and shook his head. "You treat me worse than a servant," he said

before grabbing some of the chips instead.

As they ate the snacks, they waited for June.

"Where is that kid?" Jaeduck asked.

"Well, he did step on quite a lot of things. I'm guessing he still washing up," Shinchan said.

Jaeduck chuckled. "His luck is really at the next level, huh? How could he get six straight bad

boxes?"

"There he is!" Niki suddenly exclaimed, capturing their attention.

They turned toward the pathway toward the garden, seeing June in his new get-up. They

didn't say anything for a couple of seconds before Rowoon broke the silence.

"Alright, this is unfair," he said.

"Why does he look better as a servant than us as princes?"
