14. Moving
Thump-thump-
The boss put out side dishes on the table with a shit-chewing expression on his face.
“Boss, please smile a little. If you serve with that look on your face, all the customers will run away.”
“what?”
The president, who was looking at me with a glaring look, bit his lip and tried to soothe his bloated stomach.
‘Let’s stay calm. If you just please this guy today, you can avoid the fine.’
Anyway, we won’t see each other after today.
The president had a smile on his face, determined to hold on for just one day.
“Are you done?”
“Is there anyone who speaks informally to customers? Are you going to speak informally to everyone just because they are young?”
“……Are you done?”
“Yes. It’s nice to see you smiling.”
The president clicked his tongue as he looked at Ryu Min smiling at him.
‘Crazy psycho bastard.’
The boss turns around and enters the kitchen.
At first glance, the president’s face was full of anger.
Seeing that, Ryu Won seemed worried and asked cautiously from the side.
“Brother, is it okay to do this?”
“It’s okay. You don’t know how bad that boss has been to me, right?”
“It’s not that, what if I get retaliated against later…”
“No need to worry.”
retribution?
Would he dare to retaliate against himself, the player, by force?
‘There hasn’t been a case like that in the course of the episode so far, but if it happens… … .’
All you have to do is retaliate in the same way.
No, you just have to retaliate further than that so that they don’t think nonsense.
Soon the boss brought the meat he ordered.
“The meat… has arrived.”
It was the most expensive sirloin in the store.
Chi-Ik-
Ryu Won swallowed his saliva while listening to the sound of meat being cooked.
‘It’s not pork belly, it’s Korean beef.’
Ryu Won was very excited about eating expensive food for the first time in his life.
“Eat a lot.”
“Oh, you eat a lot too!”
With the boss gone, the brothers’ meal began.
“Wow, it’s so delicious, bro. Is this Korean beef?”
“Yes. It’s the most delicious part of Korean beef.”
“I heard it was so delicious, but I didn’t know it was this delicious. It feels like it melts in your mouth!”
“I’m glad you ate well.”
Ryumin smiled with satisfaction and looked back into the hall.
Even though it was peak hour, there were still no other customers.
Ryumin occasionally called the president during the meal.
“Boss! Here, give me some more garlic!”
“Boss! Give me some more oil here!”
“Boss! Here’s some extra rice!”
“Boss! Here we add sirloin….”
“Sir! If you’re going to order it, order it all at once! Don’t you have to eat it in moderation?”
In the end, the boss exploded.
“So, did the boss treat me well at work?”
“…….”
Ryu Min’s words made me completely dumb.
“Quickly, bring four servings of sirloin.”
“How much more are you going to eat….”
“Anyway, they’re deducting the wages I didn’t get, so what are you complaining about?”
“Oh, no. I’ll bring it right away.”
Ryu Min indulged in the abuse he had been subjected to by his boss to his heart’s content.
Although he may not know it, the boss must be keenly aware that the customers are the best.
‘f*ck it, if I just survive today… … If I just hold on for today… … .’
The meal did not end until after 9 o’clock, leaving behind the owner who had expressed his patience.
Ryumin and his younger brother rubbed their bellies with satisfied faces.
“It was a good meal.”
“It was good, bro.”
Ryu Min stood up and looked at the president.
“It’s expensive, but it’s worth it. It was a good meal, boss.”
“Yeah, okay. I’m glad you ate well.”
The president’s face had become gaunt as if eons had passed.
“Are you leaving now?”
“yes.”
“Then what about reporting?”
Ryumin quietly looked at the president.
It seemed like he genuinely didn’t want to be reported as he put his hands together and looked at him with earnest eyes.
“You’re not reporting it, are you?”
“Yes. I won’t.”
At those words, a wide smile appeared on the president’s face.
“Haha! Really? Thank you….”
“It was out of my hands anyway. I’m already on my way after reporting it.”
“Huh?”
Ryumin smiled evilly at the president, who had no idea what he was talking about.
“We have already reported your behavior to the Ministry of Labor. We have also filed a criminal complaint, so you will have to appear soon, so prepare yourselves.”
“W-what?”
“You can put the wasted wages into my account later according to the order of the Ministry of Labor, and the cost of the meal I ate today will be treated as interest on the money I have not received yet.”
“…….”
“I don’t know if you’ll be able to do business in the future, but thank you for your hard work, and let’s not see each other again. Let’s go, Won.”
“Uh, huh, bro.”
The owner just stood there with a blank expression on his face for a while, leaving the brothers behind as they left the store.

[Won a bunch of lotto first prizes at a convenience store in Seoul. As many as 100 games… … .]
[There is only one winner of 100 games. Write down 100 games with the same number… … .]
[GS24 Yeonhui Branch 1st place winner. Alone accounts for 22.4 billion out of 24 billion!]
[About 224 million won per game. Other first place winners are dissatisfied with the unprecedented winning amount.]
Ryu Won, who was reading an article on his cell phone, looked up.
“Bro, there was an article here?”
“Yes. I saw it.”
“Looking at the comments, people are asking how they can play 100 games and asking if they are from the future.”
“Well, I guess so.”
“Bro, aren’t you really from the future? How did you guess the number correctly?”
“I dreamed it. Very vividly.”
It was hard to believe, but Ryu Won didn’t ask any more questions.
The fact that my older brother became a player was unbelievable.
“Did 1.8 billion people really get kidnapped and only 900 million came back alive?”
“That’s right. There are tons of articles on the Internet.”
After 5:20 a.m. on January 1.
All people who failed to wake up from narcolepsy died of cardiac arrest.
There are a lot of articles about this, and it’s all about it in the news.
On the other hand, there are newtubers who claim conspiracy theories, but they are only a very small number.
It was unbelievable, but it was a reality that I had no choice but to believe.
“The whole world is in chaos and you still don’t believe it?”
“You have to be able to trust it…”
Ryumin chuckled at his younger brother’s words.
Well, it would be hard to believe it unless you experienced it yourself.
“It’s going to get even more confusing in the future. We’ve only survived the first round.”
Every month the population decreases, the world will be filled with chaos.
The economy collapses and the social system becomes paralyzed.
Some even say that an era of dystopia is opening.
‘If players even exert power here, the chaos will accelerate even further.’
Therefore, Ryu Min had to immediately gather all the funds he had.
It was good to have a lot of money, and it was also useful.
“Wonah. What do you think of the house you saw at the real estate agent yesterday? Do you like it?”
“Of course! It’s really nice, isn’t it? I’ve never seen such a spacious and expensive house in my life! I’ve only seen it in pictures, but….”
“Of all the places I can move in right now, that’s the best. It has good security.”
Ryu Min was thinking of moving to Galleria Forest in Seongsu-dong.
The selling price was a whopping 7 billion won, but that much money was not spent.
Because it was a monthly rent contract, not a sale.
“But brother, why did you sign a monthly rent contract? You have a lot of money, but you just buy it….”
“I have no money.”
“ok?”
Ryu Won said indifferently to his younger brother who asked with wide eyes.
“All but 1 billion were invested in coins.”
“What? Coin?”
What does this mean now? Coin?
My younger brother asked back as if he had just heard something out of the blue.
“By coin, do you mean Bitcoin?”
“uh.”
“You poured 14 billion there?”
“huh.”
“Hyung! What on earth were you thinking…!”
Ryumin raised his hand as if to tell him to be quiet.
“I know. I know what you’re going to say. It’s going to look pathetic. It’s going to look helpless. But no.”
“Is there something you believe in?”
“So, I wasted all but 1 billion.”
“…….”
15 billion came in overnight and then evaporated.
Of course, it was an investment, not an evaporation, but in Ryu Won’s eyes, he could not help but see it as disappearing.
Even middle school student Ryu Won knew about the dangers of coins.
“Are you sure it’s okay? It’s my brother’s money, so it’s not my place to interfere…”
“It’s okay. You don’t have to worry about losing it at all.”
“If that’s the case, I’m glad…”
I couldn’t feel reassured.
Isn’t it a coin and not a regular stock?
It’s not a joke, it could just disappear the next day.
Ryumin reassured his younger brother, as if he knew what he was thinking.
“If it’s money, don’t worry. You can earn more by matching the lottery numbers.”
“Huh? Lotto?”
“I didn’t just dream about one episode number.”
Ryu Min said he saw a total of 5 numbers in his dream and reassured him that he would be able to guess them 4 more times.
“Of course, you’ll have to guess to see if that’s the number one number.”
“omg…….”
You can guess the lottery numbers four more times?
‘If first place continues to be won in the future… … ?’
Ryu Won covered his mouth with his hand.
‘15 billion four times is 60 billion? An additional 60 billion is coming in?’
If the number 1 is as predicted in the dream, my brother will become truly rich.
“Hyung! You remember all the numbers, right? Don’t forget them!”
“I won’t forget it.”
‘I’ve done this several times.’
For Ryu Min, a regressor, memorizing the numbers for the 5th lottery was a piece of cake.
“by the way…….”
Ryumin looked at the time on his phone and stood up.
“Let’s go out and get some lunch and get ready to go.”
“Huh? Where?”
“Oh, I didn’t tell you?”
Ryumin smiled broadly.
“Today is moving day.”

Poseok-
The brick was crushed by Hwang Yong-min’s fist.
“Wow, this is killing me?”
When I punch again, the wall of the alley caves.
Every time that happened, admiration continued to flow from Hwang Yong-min’s mouth.
It had to be that way.
Who wouldn’t like it when he gains powers that transcend humans?
“You can use the status window and inventory in real life… that’s awesome.”
Even runes are applied as is.
‘It’s a rune that doubles your strength. ‘I got lucky with the draw.’
Although the runes were not divided into grades, you could tell just by looking at them.
That the [Rune of Strength] he chose was fraudulent.
‘I already wanted to increase my strength, but this rune appears.’
Since the rune was like this, I put all my stats into strength.
As you can see, the result is like this.
Allows you to easily break bricks with your bare fists.
Although my fist was starting to hurt.
“This is a nuclear fist that even Tyson would envy.”
Hwang Yong-min, who was happy, shook the powder off his fist.
“This is the end of the test. Now shall we get into the real thing? Hehe.”
Ttuk ttuk – Hwang Yong-min walked, loosening his knuckles.
The place he is heading to is a shabby multi-family house.
It’s none other than heading to Ryu Min’s house.
‘How dare that arrogant shuttle bastard glare at you like that?’
It’s only been a few days, but the sneers and looks he showed me at the bell-ringing scene are still vivid before my eyes.
‘Did you think I would just get over it? you are behind It’s a rheumin. ‘
I haven’t seen him since I returned to reality.
I tried calling him as usual, but he wouldn’t answer.
‘Do you think diving will solve the problem?’
I couldn’t contact you, but there was nothing to worry about.
Because I knew the exact address of Shuttle’s house.
‘This body will correct your bad habits directly.’
I couldn’t even tell if he was dead or alive, but I would find out when I got home.
Luckily, I survived the first round and was confident that I would win even if it was the same player.
Even if a fool awakens his power, he is still just a fool.
“It’s here.”
Hwang Yong-min rang the doorbell in front of Ryu Min’s house.
Ding-dong- Ding-dong- Ding-dong-
No matter how many times I press it, there is no response.
I put my ear to the front door, but I couldn’t feel anything.
‘The cub stays at home and doesn’t come out on purpose?’
By all appearances, he probably knew he was coming and was holding his breath like a scoundrel.
“Hey, aren’t you home? I can’t help it. I have to go.”
I deliberately pretended to be leaving and put my ear close to the door.
‘Just try to hear anything. ‘I’ll go in right away, even if it means destroying the house.’
He must have become strong enough to break a brick, so there was no longer any hesitation for Hwang Yong-min.
It was then.
“Huh? Hey, student? What are you doing there?”
Hwang Yong-min turned his head when he heard a sound behind him.
An old man was coming this way.
“What are you doing in front of someone else’s house?”
“What does it matter to you? I’m not even the owner of the house.”
“I am the owner of this place?”
Hwang Yong-min opened his eyes wide.
“Really?”
“So? Why are you doing this? Are you looking for a friend?”
‘friend?’
A smile appeared on Hwang Yongmin’s lips.
“Yes, that’s right, friend. If you’re the landlord, you can open the door, right? I’ve been having trouble getting in touch with you all of a sudden. Could you open the door for me?”
“Tsk tsk tsk.”
When the grandfather clicked his tongue without answering, Hwang Yong-min frowned.
“Why are you doing that?”
“I got cheated on by my friend.”
“yes?”
“It’s an empty room. I heard it was empty, so I came to check.”
Hwang Yongmin’s eyes widened.
“What do you mean, that?”
“It means the student who used to live here moved somewhere else.”
‘move?’
Hwang Yong-min’s eyebrows twitched.
“when?”
“today.”
“Do you know where it went?”
“I don’t know.”
Hwang Yong-min trembled and gritted his teeth.
‘This bastard moves without telling me?’
He never thought that the shuttle would escape from his hands.
