“You're in line, kid. ”
Mom said, I have a forehead.
‘I heard it's a good story, but it's him again. ’
“I told you...”
“No, listen to the terms. The convenience store at Ewha University? I'm in the company... so you're in school and you have the same job class. ”
I almost quit my job today.
“Plus, the house is fine. Money isn't the whole world, of course. My mother lived her life...”
Money. I'd have more money. But before that, I don't want to see any more of these kinds of lines. People only see each other's conditions and get married in pairs, because it feels too dry. I want to have a more natural love.
They say you can't get married. If you can't do that, it won't be that bad. These days it's a good time to play alone. Games, dramas, travel abroad. Salaries are at least enough to enjoy and live alone.
‘And besides, I don't need a paycheck anymore. ’
Better. Must be a lot of money. You don't have to live with anyone anymore. I want to live my life according to my heart, but if there is a woman who I want to meet naturally and marry.
"The Woman in Mind..."
At that moment, someone was trying to come to my mind. But then,
“Sanghun, are you listening? ”
My mother called out my name, and the thought disappeared like a mirage.
“Yes, I'm listening. ”
“So just meet her once. I'm sorry I said no. I'll see you Friday, and you come home Saturday morning, okay? ”
I'm sorry she said that. I can't say no anymore. I have something to say to you this weekend, so I think I should listen to you.
“Okay, I'll do it. ”
“Yes. Don't be too burdensome. If it's good to see you, I'll see you more, if I don't like you. ”
“Yes.”
“Yes, the phone number is...”
I received the phone number of a strange woman and saved it. Subsequent repertoires are similar. You send a text to make an appointment, look at your face, eat pasta, and talk. Since the last time I broke up with my girlfriend, I've had a few meaningless meetings like this. I texted that number first.
"Hi, nice to meet you. ’
Literally starting with. I put my phone in my pocket without waiting for a reply. Usually, when you text me like this, I reply about an hour later. Women usually think they look cheap if they reply too quickly.
‘If you don't send me something, I won't meet you. I'm glad I have a reason. This is it.'
I walked the road thinking that way. When I walk down the street, I have an idea. I like Gangnam. The buildings are big and nice, and the women are pretty. The streets are home to some of the hottest brands, and inside the alleyways are delicious homes. In Gangnam, I feel like I've been in the company for a year. That's...
‘The rich people don't live in Gangnam for nothing. ’
Gangnam certainly has a leading edge in its time and culture. So it makes sense to come and live here. If you live here, you can naturally experience the most advanced trends and melt them there. My assets now exceed 1.5 billion. I think I should come this way now. Even if I spend 1.5 billion dollars, it would be better to do it in Gangnam.
So, should we move this way first? The car is a little... bad for fraud right now. I have money, but it breaks down into a few thousand to a billion units… ’
Come to think of it, the car is a bit of a scam right now. at least a few thousand to as many as a billion units. Maybe when you're a few billion rich. Now it would be much more profitable to buy a few more weeks of stock with that money. But the house is different.
‘If you live on rent, you'll never have to pay for it. Even if you live in an office hotel with more than one million won... you'll earn dozens of times a month…’
The rent is not very expensive. Instead of going home right away, I started to explore Gangnam Station a little more. Expensive officetels converge. One of my favorites was Mo Officetel, a short distance from Gangnam Station. Most officetels are just a block down the road, just as close as the officetels are to the roads. I looked up at the officetel.
"After living there, you'll feel fat." ’
I set up the officetel first. The text of a date came around the time I went home.
"Nice to meet you. Mr. Han Sang-hoon. ’
I replied concise.
"Nice to meet you. ’
I've talked about it before, but I don't talk about it anymore. I ended the conversation simply by making an appointment.

Thursday morning.
“Hmm-hmm.”
I sat in a chair singing a nostril. And I naturally picked up my phone and turned on the MTS. I had none, but only to view my account balance. 1,556,832,164. I thought about counting them one by one.
‘Khh... Exciting! Always new! Money is the best! ’
I recently became addicted to seeing my account balance like this. I can't help it. I see endorphins every time I see them. I imagined it.
Do people who smoke feel like this? ’
I don't smoke, but I think it's roughly the same. I know how much it contains, but I keep seeing it, and it's a shame not to see it, so I'll find it again. But it's okay. It doesn't hurt your health like a cigarette. I don't even have a hangover like a drink. If it's addiction without side effects, a little drinking wouldn't be bad either. I watched as the number was broken. But I suddenly have an idea.
By the way, you can apply for Gold now. ’
Billion to advance to the rank of Gold. There are over 1.5 billion entries available now. But strictly speaking, the application is still available.
Once you put in a billion... there's only 500 million left.
I don't want to cut Sydney down right now. The stocks are doing well; 1.5 billion doubled is 3 billion, but 500 million doubled is only 1 billion.
‘We need to collect at least 2 billion… let's do one or two more with the same thing in the Seoul market and then apply for an upgrade. ’
I waited 55 minutes thinking about it.
In S 12 hours.
He's here.
"I wonder what news today will bring..."
I stroked my chin and clicked on it. By the way,
"Huh?"

The mail is a little strange today. The upper part was the same. What was different was the lower part. Under the usual 'Gold Rating Guide’ there were two more lines. The noisy phrase about providing an event. Some of the words even sparkled in color.
What the hell is this?
But when I think about it, when I started 12 hours later, I picked up Sanmai Tea. A decent person would never bend over.
Is this the concept? Well then… '
I thought about it and clicked Open. Then, even more complicated advertising phrases appeared.

"No, what is this? Save on your subscription? Half the price?"
Based on the content, I don't really care about cheap style. Half as much as usual, you'll be amazed. Half a billion, 500 million.
Do I shut up? ’
But even 500 million is a third of what we have now.
"No, I don't want you to sign up for any motherfucking gold..."
I rolled down thinking like that. However, this email seems to have read my mind. A few more lines of content were written underneath.

I read from the top one line at a time. I see headlines for all category news first.
"All categories show titles. Then there's no need to even think about what you're gonna see. ’
Basically, I'll show you a few more headlines, so you'll have more opportunities to earn money. This is good, for sure. But more prominent than that is the second line.
You're giving me skill points? ’
Skill Points, it seems like something from the game. However, I don't know anything with just this.
What kind of skills? ’
But there is no explanation for that. It says "special instructions," and it actually omits a specific explanation of what it is.
"Who are they teasing?"
I'm thinking about it, and the word right below catches my eye. Customer Service.
There was a customer service? ’
If there is one, I want to ask it right now.
‘Where can I spend my Skill Points? ’
But you can't find it here.
"10 million won a month is not a customer..."
I wanted to curse, but I endured it. Honestly, 12 hours later, the newspaper was like a savior to me. After paying 10 million won twice and making 1.5 billion, I'm a little sorry about what I said.
"Well... yes... I see..."
Obviously, this customer center is more interesting than the point of not knowing what's going on right now. I have so many questions.
"Silver next to gold. What's up there?" ’
Why isn't there a lottery number? ’
What's going on with the news selection? ’
No, there's a more fundamental question first.
"What are you people doing sending this? No. Is that a person? You're an alien, aren't you? ’
I would like to apply for a Gold rating, if that's what I'm wondering. I stared at the screen.
