While Deok-Hoon Ahn was looking for a cat by himself, Je-Wool Shin visited Winkle’s offline event.

‘Is this it?’

As a result of his hard work, one event caught his eye. The Winkle first-come-first-served giveaway and goods sales event will be held next Thursday.

‘If it’s as popular as Winkle, people might come out and set up tents a few days in advance.’

Shin Jeul was sweating while watching. The conditions are difficult for me to do it.

‘You can’t skip school. It must be hard to get to Lasia too, right?’

Shin Jeul looked at the person studying quietly next to him.

Although the body is not adorned with any precious metal, it is so elegant that you can feel its elegance.

‘It’s not like an aristocrat, it’s an aristocrat. Come to think of it, you also have an attendant, right?’

Without realizing it, he thought of Seon Hayun. Why not just order it?

“Ah, that’s right. Are you from a chaebol family?”

And he let the words out of his mouth without even realizing it.

‘What am I saying out loud now?’

I regretted it later, but I can’t take back what I’ve already said.

“…What are you planning all of a sudden?”

Lasia turns her head with a frown.

“Speaking of which, why does the story go in that direction? I just wish it was because I had a lot of money.”

“…”

“The Winkle event is being held, but it’s on a first-come, first-served basis. But I’m a student.”

“Use people. If you want something that much, you can invest in it.”

Yes. Since Lasia is the child of a conglomerate, she has many subordinates.

Of course, just give one of them an open run and that’s it.

In fact, open-run part-time jobs exist even if you are not from a wealthy household.

“Yes. It gets better if you use people to save it.”

Shin Jeul did not understand.

‘There’s no particular problem, but a sub-scenario pops up, right?’

In fact, there is no reason for a sub-scenario to appear.

What kind of help are you asking for? Just take turns and buy the items you want on the open run.

Isn’t there something that money can’t buy?

Since Shin Je-ul lacked information, he started searching for information using various luck.

“But there are joys that must be received in person, right? Directly, I want to buy it with my own hands.”

“Then give up. Because there are people who stay up all night.”

“Do you know well?”

“That, that… . Yes.”

At this time, Lasia looked at Shin Jeul anxiously.

“You, you know it well.”

“But it’s not as good as the real ones. I think it’s good enough for me.”

“…is this?”

“Okay.”

The conversation between these two was strangely out of focus.

Lasia seems to be talking about Shin Je-ul’s identity. Actually, Shin Je-ul doesn’t even care.

‘Anyway, if you put it on standby and change, don’t you get it yourself? Lasia likes winkles, not open runs. Besides, seeing you talk like that won’t be much of a burden.’

Shin Je-ul was looking for a way out, remembering that it was Lasia’s sub-scenario.

‘I’m missing something. ‘It would be nice to know that.’

The event date is next Thursday. Still, the event team seemed to have the same idea and said that only those who lined up on the day of the event would be recognized.

‘This doesn’t really matter. why… .’

Because it is so difficult, you can survive by just skipping a day.

It’s just that Lasia, not him, has to be satisfied.

In short, a sub-scenario appeared even though I had enough regrets to live on.

‘Besides, even if you go yourself, you’ll be disguised anyway. ‘What can I do here?’

Shin Jeul couldn’t figure it out and scratched his head.

At this time, Shin Je-ul was taking a class on equipment operation taught by Seon-ha Lee.

Awakened people say it’s about using equipment, but if you think about the military, it’s simple.

Basically, awakened people need to know what the equipment is and how to use it to use it effectively.

Last time, when catching a monster, there were many cases where the awakened people actually joined forces and attacked from a distance.

Seonha Lee was eagerly explaining the equipment operation textbook on the teleprompter.

“What is important is thinking and observation skills. There is a weapon in front of you that has never been used in a crisis? Opportunities will come only if you act and move. Basically, each piece of equipment has a basic operation method. You have to learn this.”

“You may not recognize the ether missile being developed recently at first glance, but you have to infer it from its shape and read the explanation. Aether missiles store ether. Then there must be a hole through which the awakened person injects to store ether, right? When you hear the name Ether Missile, you should immediately infer this. You will now be able to touch and operate various equipment, and it will be easier if you understand it. Therefore, equipment operation is also an important class for awakened people.”

‘Inference, observation, thinking skills… .’

Shin Je-ul followed Lee Seon-ha’s words and began to look at the sub-scenario in detail.

The answer is inferred from the sub-scenario.

-Lasia is desperate to buy this event merchandise, which is more precious than anyone else. However, there are already a lot of people waiting, so I am very worried.

‘Why are you worried? It is common to just use a part-time job or your own attendant to wait and then replace them. ‘You’ll go in without any worries.’

Shin Je-ul began to read the phrase closely.

‘I’m anxious to buy goods. Are there already a lot of people waiting? Wait, what does this atmosphere mean? Are you waiting for an open run or… .’

At this time, a light bulb twinkled in Shin Jeul’s dark mind.

‘Entrance to the event is not a concern, but are you worried? Is this the story after that? Is there anything after entering the event?’

Jeul Shin’s head moved quickly and he took out his cell phone right away during class.

Since he had Winkle’s fake interest, he just watched the event and moved on.

There is something more.

Shin Jeul’s judgment was accurate.

[No, it’s annoying to have to wait for the open run, but what’s the point of a limited-time lottery event?]

[Fuck you resellers! Really, I think it would have been ruined if I had just let anyone buy it.]

[Wouldn’t it be fair if it were a lottery? [There is also a rarity]

Yes. This event’s limited edition goods will be given away to a small number of people through a lottery.

‘This is something you can’t buy with money.’

Shin Jeul was finally able to understand. Lottery-type goods were placed within the store.

‘…I was worried because it was a lottery. ‘You want this?’

The limited edition goods come with a special acrylic for the male protagonist, an autograph from the actor, and an illustration signed by the original author.

‘It’s definitely a limited edition product from my favorite singer… .’

The value of this event lies in the limited edition raffle items.

When he checked further, he found out that 10 people would be drawn out of the first 200 people.

‘It’s better than the lottery, but it’s definitely… .’

Shin Jeul thought of a way to increase this low probability.

“This, we need to be in solidarity.”

As Shin Je-ul mutters this, he feels Lasia’s gaze next to him.

Her eyes were focused on the story of Shin Je-ul’s cell phone, a Winkle limited edition product.

“This will be really hard to get.”

“…”

Lasia didn’t say anything, but was showing interest.

Shin Je-ul responded as if he wanted her to listen.

“Lasia, you don’t know.”

“You don’t know?”

Lasia made a surprised face, and then her eyes became mischievous again.

Because I thought Shin Jeul was making fun of me again.

But regardless, Shin Je-ul presents enough ways to charm her.

“There is a high possibility that you will not receive it because it is a probability issue… . The way to increase that probability is to invite people who are not interested in goods to participate in the open run.”

“…I’m not interested in goods, so how do I get them to participate in the event?”

“Because we are friends. I’m asking you a favor. It doesn’t matter whether you buy food or give money.”

Lasia’s eyes widen.

Yes. He currently has more than four friends to mobilize.

‘If it’s enough to actually move, I use the class president, Deok-hoon, and Joo-hwan.’

4 people can be secured.

Shin Je-ul then implicitly makes a suggestion to Lasia.

“Instead of reselling, find people who are not interested in goods. It won’t be easy to get goods other than this way.”

“…Do it yourself.”

Although she looked away coldly, Lasia looked like she had realized something.

‘If you do this, you will use your connections and come forward in the same way.’

Since Lasia is overflowing with money anyway, you will be able to increase your odds much more easily in the same way.

‘Either way, give me Lasia and it will be resolved!’

Shin Je-ul tried all possible means.

First of all, it is confirmed that part-time workers will be mobilized. He applied separately for four people, including Deok-Hoon Ahn.

Next time, just wait for the time to come.

By Sunday, Shin Je-ul was on the lookout for his next target, Ray.

He used a centrally controlled AI to help Ray carry the latest library and Korean language textbooks.

‘The only way to do this is to make contact somewhere nearby, pretending to be a coincidence, and then tell the story.’

Shin Jeul decided to see an opportunity and was tracking Ray’s movements.

Of course, due to Ahn Deok-hoon’s efforts, he prioritized finding the cat along the way, so it was a bit delayed.

But that’s over too. After Wednesday became Thursday, Shin Jeul decided to bump into Ray.

He glanced at Ray, who was sitting four seats across from them in the middle seat. A foreign student with a ponytail and sharp eyes.

‘I think I’m good at Korean. Are you actually different?’

If it’s studying, I can teach you. Again, Shin Je-ul’s grades are in the upper-middle range. No matter where you go, it doesn’t fall out.

As he tries to approach Ray, Lasia next to him looks at him.

“Shin Jeul. Wait, I want to talk to you.”

Lasia calls him.

“Me? Why?”

“There is something I want to talk about briefly after this.”

“After it’s over?”

Shin Je-ul reflexively sensed that it was because of an event to be held this evening.

“Good. Set a time… . Shouldn’t we exchange numbers?”

If not now, when will we contact each other? At best, it’s just a group chat.

Lasia’s face is embarrassed by those words.

“Ah, yes. That’s right.”

Surprisingly, Lasia accepted it obediently, but she still felt that he was shameless.

Anyway, we officially save the number as each other’s contact information.

Shin Jeul also whistled and thought things were going smoothly.

Until April showed up. On this day, it was time to leave school and Shin Je-ul was moving to go to the meeting place.

“Hey, what is God? Let me see?”

“What?”

“You know we start training next week, right?”

“Awakened people practice? Why is that?”

April didn’t respond to that and just started dragging Shinjeul away.

The place he was taken to was one of the two auditoriums right next to the main building, which is being used as a simulation lab.

“April. I have an appointment.”

“You owe me something, right? help me Throw away that promise.”

“Help? It’s done among awakened people, right?”

“You idiot. You don’t have to practice in advance! Check my records and film my movements in the simulation!”

April then paused for a moment.

“That… . And… . I need to check to what extent the weaknesses you mentioned have been corrected.”

At this time, April did not appear confident and was slightly embarrassed.

However, Shinjeul has a prior promise.

“But I decided to talk about it with Sia… .”

“Rasia?”

And at these words, April’s frown quickly narrowed.

“Ignore it! At least it won’t be a big deal. Pay off your debt!”

So I was dragged by force into the simulation area.

This simulation area is about 20 pyeong (approximately 20 pyeong) per area, and there are a total of 20 areas, including from the basement to the second floor.

The entrance is just like a hallway-style apartment with doors lined up in a row.

Next to the door is a sofa that can seat two or three people.

Shin Jeul was thrown straight into the simulation.

‘Let’s see, the story was different with Lasia and at least I can go to the event. ‘As long as it’s finished within 6 o’clock.’

It was when Shin Je-ul was about to give up.

“You’re very good at breaking promises with people, aren’t you?”

A chilling voice is heard from behind. Before I knew it, the simulation door was open and Lasia came in.

“Rasia? Well, sorry about the promise… .”

“That’s it. Anyway, do whatever you want or not. I’m not in a position to complain. Rather… .”

There was a noticeable anger on Lasia’s calm face.

His eyes meet April, who is coming towards him beyond Shinjeul.

“April. Why do you take people with you as you please?”

“Huh? You really came here. What do you think is so important? Surprised? I usually don’t pay much attention to men.”

“It’s a matter of promise. You had an appointment with me first.”

“I had an appointment with me long before you. Too bad it’s late.”

The two glare at each other without backing down even an inch. And Shin Je-ul, who was caught in the middle, felt pressure as if someone was pressing him with a press.

‘Even monsters aren’t this bad.’

In such tension, Lasia clenched her fists.

“Specifically, when? Is it today?”

“Right before being brought in.”

April chuckled. His self-indulgent and self-centered side is clearly revealed in Lasia.

“It doesn’t matter. Do you have something that important to talk about? Were the two of you that close?”

“April, this is the first time I’ve seen you hanging out with a guy, right?”

“Because I’m closer than you.”

“In the end, you brought it here on your own? It’s obvious when you see that I can’t even practice properly on my own.”

“What?”

And Shin Jeul felt a tingling pressure all over his body.

This time, I felt strong hostility from April’s side.

Instead of the usual playful face, a fierce female tiger is glaring at you.

Lasia just turned around.

“That’s it. Because there’s no need for the two of you to do anything. I can take care of myself. Unlike others.”

“Hey! What did you say!”

“Have fun with Shin Jeul. It’s busy here too. I hope you work hard and take first place this time.”

Lasia closed the door to the simulation area and left.

‘It’s winter.’

Shin Jeul sighed in this place where he could feel the chill.
