Episode 40.
Siwoo was so dizzy that he couldn’t come to his senses at all.
The auction price was 4 billion.
Then, 5% is deducted as auction commission.
After deducting all taxes.
10 million won in compensation given to So-eun.
So the final amount settled was 3.6 billion.
This was a truly staggering, if astronomical, sum.
Assuming a family of four had a living expense of 3 million won, it was an amount that could last them 100 years.
It was an amount of money that I could live without worrying about even if I lived for 100 years just breathing.
In short, it was an amount of money that could be used to live a lifetime just breathing!
And the person who contributed the most to earning this amount.
“I love you, So-eun!”
Siwoo hugged Soeun tightly as she was.
“Yes, yes? Okay, just a moment…!”
Then So-eun opened her eyes wide.
Her face also turned bright red and she struggled in Siwoo’s arms.
“What power…!”
But how can one escape the power of supernatural strength (SS)?
And she is just a frail woman, just an ordinary person.
“Si, Siwoo…?! I… H-Hold my breath…! Haauk…!”
So-eun’s face, which had been bright red, soon turned purple.
I felt like I was going to explode under the weight of Siwoo’s power.
Only then was Siwoo able to let Soeun go.
“Keuk…! Knock knock knock! Haa…!”
So-eun took a deep breath as if she had just come back from the dead.
And then, suddenly, he opened his eyes and glared at Siwoo.
Siwoo scratched his head, feeling sorry for no reason.
“I was so happy that I didn’t even realize it… .”
So-eun let out a small sigh as if to say, “How foolish.”
“I wish I could give you something as a token of my apology and gratitude….”
“No, that’s not what I meant.”
After a while, So-eun shook her head slightly and continued speaking.
“I received a fee from Siwoo. Above all, thanks to Siwoo, Soeun Mulsan became a VIP at the auction house. This is enough for me.”
So-eun stubbornly refused, saying that it was okay.
Siwoo nodded slightly at Soeun’s words.
And then he turned his gaze to find Seo Pal-gwang.
Seo Pal-gwang was looking at me with a bewildered expression from one side of the workshop.
As soon as Siwoo’s eyes met, Seo Pal-gwang also shook his head slightly.
“I got it too. You made it all anyway. What did I do?”
hmm.
Siwoo couldn’t just let it go this time.
Soeun took care of her own share.
But it wasn’t Seo Pal-gwang.
If you think about it, all of this was possible because of Seo Pal-gwang’s help.
That’s why it was okay to ask for your share.
I wonder if it’s the craftsman’s stubbornness or something.
For some reason, Seo Pal-gwang didn’t seem particularly interested in money.
Enough to make equipment and make a living.
It seemed like he was satisfied with that level.
So, it wasn’t a big problem even if I just let it go.
There was no need to bring Seopalgwang.
But for some reason, I felt uneasy.
At that time, I was wondering what to do.
‘Ah! I should teach you the Jajinmori rhythm hammering technique that I recently learned from the Hephaestus video.’
The name Jajinmori Jangdan Hammering was funny, but it was actually a secret technique created by Hephaestus.
So, it is a secret technique called God’s Metallurgy (SS).
It could be said to be the ultimate reward for Seo Pal-gwang.
‘There was also a good jangdan hammering.’
Siwoo hasn’t learned that yet.
anyway.
‘That will do.’
Siwoo organized his thoughts like that.
And lastly.
There was one thing left for Siwoo to do.
[Confucius Channel Membership Subscription Fee] – 1,000,000,000 ￦ / month
None other than signing up for the Confucius Channel membership.
The membership fee is so high that I’m going crazy
A monthly subscription fee of 1 billion is an absurd amount.
but.
[Account Balance] – 3,630,356,000￦
There was absolutely no problem for Siwoo right now!
Siwoo shivered once again.
Of course, a billion dollars was crazy.
Honestly, I felt like I was going to die from the pain.
However, it was something that had to be done in order to learn the art of divine fighting.
Above all, the individuality that could be obtained from the Confucius Channel would not be ordinary.
Although it was said to be for the Hercules divine magic, it was clear that its own individuality would be formidable.
So you shouldn’t feel sorry about it.
If you feel sorry….
‘shit.’
It would be a shame if it didn’t work.
What was a pity was a pity.
I felt like I was going to die because it was so precious.
But Siwoo pressed the membership registration button with trembling hands.
Hold on.
With a very light touch, a solid billion dollars evaporated.
I was so dazed that I felt empty.
A notification window popped up in the midst of my empty mind.
Siwoo stared at the smartphone screen with soulless eyes.
And indeed.
Could this be one of the world’s three greatest saints?
“and!”
Siwoo blurted out these words without realizing it.
* * *
“Brother… isn’t it too expensive here?”
Seo-ah spoke to Si-woo while observing his mood.
With a slightly timid expression, he gently grabbed Siwoo’s sleeve.
“I don’t have to eat this. Chicken is much more delicious.”
And then he gently pulled Siwoo back, telling him to go back.
By the way, this is where Siwoo brought Seoah.
It was a restaurant that served something called Omakasenji.
And sure enough, the prices were outrageous.
A whopping 300,000 won per person.
Together with Seo Ah, it’s a whopping 600,000 won.
In short, it meant 600,000 won per meal.
A truly absurd price.
“We should try something like this too.”
But Siwoo didn’t budge an inch.
Honestly, even for Siwoo, 600,000 won for one meal was ridiculous.
What the hell.
But so what?
[Account Balance] – 2,630,356,000 ￦
There’s 2.6 billion in the account!
Even though I spent 1 billion won to join the Confucius Channel membership, it was still a lot of money.
It was enough money to eat 600,000 won worth of Omakase 4,383 times.
If I ate omakase three times a day, I could eat it for a whole four years.
Of course, the subscription fees that I had to pay every month were crazy.
Hwata Channel 100 million.
Confucius Channel 1 billion.
The two together amount to 1.1 billion.
“……”
Well, I didn’t want to think about that right now.
“It’s okay, let’s go in.”
Siwoo grabbed Seoah’s hand as she pulled back and went into the store.
The inside of the store was definitely old-fashioned.
So it seemed like he was saying, ‘I’m really expensive! Be prepared!’
As we sat down at the bar, there was someone who appeared to be a chef right in front of us.
Siwoo looked around twice and asked him.
“Can I see the menu?”
Then the chef looked slightly embarrassed.
Siwoo also tilted his head.
Could it be because of Siwoo’s appearance?
“Is this your first time at our store?”
The chef kindly explained the omakase.
Omakase is a Japanese word meaning ‘entrust’, and it means leaving the type of menu and cooking method up to the chef.
In short, it means that they will give it to you as you wish.
Of course, there was no menu or anything.
Of course, there was a menu for things like drinks and alcohol.
But there was nothing related to the food menu.
“Oh, I see.”
Siwoo scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
I kept coughing in vain, feeling embarrassed for no reason.
You should have tried this to know.
To be honest, I came here once because I heard it was expensive and luxurious.
Anyway, since he said he would give it to me, I just had to wait.
Siwoo filled the empty glass with water.
Then suddenly.
Does it automatically fill the water too?!
… I thought so, but fortunately that wasn’t the case.
I’m just whetting my appetite with water like that.
Seo-ah was still sitting there, watching.
But deep down.
There was also a hint of excitement and anticipation.
The atmosphere of the store seemed good, as he looked around here and there with a curious expression.
‘They say omakase is the food that women like.’
I’m not sure, but I heard that somewhere.
And now that I look at Seo-ah, it seems like it’s not just the food that’s important, but the atmosphere as well.
anyway.
It will take some time for the food to come out.
I bet you’ll be so busy looking around the Seo-A store.
‘I guess I should watch GodTube.’
Siwoo took out his smartphone.
There were quite a few people around Siwoo at the moment.
Right next to me is Seoa.
In front, there is a chef cooking and assistant chefs assisting him.
It wasn’t a good environment for watching GodTube.
But Siwoo didn’t care.
‘GotTube is only visible to me.’
The reason was unknown.
But last time, I checked with Seo-ah.
GodTube’s video content was only visible to Siwoo.
‘Seo-ah said she only saw a black screen.’
So, it was okay to watch GotTube in crowded places.
Because to other people, it just looks like you’re staring blankly at a black screen.
‘Is that even stranger?’
Hey, I don’t know what to do.
Siwoo turned off his nerves and logged onto Gottube.
To be exact, I accessed the Confucius channel that I had signed up for membership for.
And at the very top of the channel.
The title of the video that was uploaded to the latest videos.
『
As soon as I saw it, I got the feeling.
That’s fucking boring.
It wasn’t just that video.
You could say that the Confucius channel itself was just plain boring.
Compared to Confucius, Hercules was a nobleman.
Still, there was the novelty of seeing a muscle whale ripple and sway.
The Confucius channel seemed to be reading some scripture.
Literally, Confucius said, Mencius said.
But what the heck.
[Confucius Channel Subscribers] – 34,566.
‘You have a lot of subscribers?’
The channel had a huge number of subscribers.
34 thousand people.
Of course, compared to YouTube, it wasn’t that many.
But this is GodTube, the channel of the gods.
If you consider that they were all of the same rank as gods, it was truly an enormous number.
Is he really one of the world’s top three adults?
But Siwoo was able to realize it after seeing the comments on the video.
Confucius is called the founder of Confucianism.
The root of East Asian philosophy was Confucius.
In that sense, have you ever heard of the expression “the hundred schools of thought”?
If you haven’t heard it, I can explain it in one word.
This means that countless disciples of Confucius subscribed to the channel.
‘There was school ties in GodTube too.’
Anyway, who would say he is the founder of Confucianism?
Siwoo shook his head from side to side.
anyway.
‘I do need to level up my proficiency…’
‘The Heart of a Gentleman – Benevolence, Righteousness, Propriety, and Knowledge (SSS)’ obtained by joining the Confucius Channel membership
The grade was a whopping SSS grade.
Same level as Hercules’ divine fighting.
Considering that it was not a combat job, it could be said to be a higher rank.
‘They say it’s the brain muscle for learning martial arts…’
There was certainly a reason for that.
But I still thought it was around SS level.
anyway.
I acquired my individuality, but that wasn’t the end of it.
This also naturally required skill level increase.
The Republic of Korea, a Confucian country.
As a South Korean, Siwoo had some basic knowledge of Confucianism.
The heart of a gentleman.
A direct translation would be the mind of a gentleman.
Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and knowledge.
This meant the four virtues of a gentleman.
And in Confucianism, a gentleman is referred to as an ideal human being.
In a word, a perfect human being.
Therefore, we can also say that a gentleman’s mind is a perfect mind.
‘Of course, I’m not sure.’
anyway.
If you watch the video of Confucius, you will get a clearer idea.
Siwoo touched the latest video.
Hold on.
The screen changed with touch.
A quiet mountain landscape.
A detached private school house.
It was as if Kangho had become seriously ill and was lying in a bamboo forest.
There was a man sitting in the school.
A long, drooping beard.
Snow-white robe and delicate wrinkles.
An impression that feels somewhat fresh.
Anyone could tell that he was Confucius.
[A gentleman is someone who has the humanity (仁) to care for and look after those around him.]
And then came Confucius’s voice.
Once again, the feeling hit me hard.
Confucius, one of the world’s three greatest saints and the founder of Confucianism.
‘A total idiot─.’
No, he was a noble gentleman.
