“The group saved their national pension by gambling.”

At my words, the president and the president of the association remained silent and did not say anything.

“A secret organization of talented people in America intervened in Xports Toto and saved the Korean Pension Service. Am I understanding this correctly?”

“Yes.”

It doesn’t make sense based on common sense, but it’s possible because it’s a decision.

“Xports Toto created a huge craze in America, and with the World Cup taking place, there was a lot of interest in Korea as well. For fun or whatever, as long as I bet well, I can sit back and make money, right? That’s a lot more money than what you bet.”

Among the 50 million people in the country, there is probably no one who has not bet on Xports Toto.

Even adults would give out paper to children while buying their own.

“If I win, I expected it well, but if I lose, I hate it all. Especially if it is a talented person from Korea who bet on patriotism.”

“…….”

So, everyone is now cursing Cheok Jun-gyeong and King Taejo.

“Despite the struggle between the two, if there are people who criticize them, it is probably those who bet on them. Both you and those around you probably think that it is ‘reasonable’ anger.”

“Because he lost his money.”

Even though they faced someone with much stronger abilities than themselves, they were the ones who predicted them as winners and bet money, but from the perspective of losing money, there is nothing visible.

“This country is crazy about gambling.”

Gambling is a shortcut to ruin.

And now, this country is on the verge of a riot due to ruin if we make a mistake.

“If you match 6 numbers, you win, it’s the same with money coming in like a pension, and it’s the same with instant lottery. Isn’t there a casino too?”

“Being crazy about gambling…”

“There have already been several people who tried to commit suicide after failing at gambling. The suicide could have been prevented in a very quiet place. Isn’t that right, President Jeong Ki-jo?”

“Sigh….”

There is no hope for those who bet all their money on Xports Toto and then fail.

Even if it’s a stock that has been reduced to pieces of paper, there are still some pieces left, and the gamble is over once you lose it.

So now, some people have actually come all the way to Seoul and dived to check the water temperature in the Han River.

It is not known in detail in the media, but thanks to the heroes who came forward and rescued people even after they fell, there were no deaths, but it is clear that many people make such attempts.

“If you succeed in gambling, whether it’s reverse odds or anything else, it’s a jackpot. But what percentage of the Korean people would that be? If you take the average of sports Toto for talented players, there will be very few cases where they have won consecutive games so far. For the rest, whether they win or lose money, their rate of return will be converging to negative. In some cases, it even goes up to millions or tens of millions of won.”

Spending 100,000 won a week on the lottery sometimes seems like a lot, but if you gamble much more than that, it is usually difficult to get back to the original amount.

“The current X-Sports gambling craze in this world feels like watching ‘Dojikhoin’.”

“Dojikhoin…? What does that mean?”

“This is one of the terms commonly used within the association. This refers to a currency whose value changes every second for 24 hours a day, with fluctuations of several thousand percent.”

“If I could make money from that…I would do it because it would be amazing.”

One soup.

Exhilarating.

Pleasure.

“Not me, though.”

If you accumulate a huge amount of wealth based on that, you will enjoy wealth and fame, but gambling is always a waste of money and is nothing more than a dream.

“So you’re telling me not to gamble? I tried Xports Toto, but social turmoil is increasing. Ban gambling?”

So can we stop people from gambling?

“No.”

at all.

“Gambling is natural. Even if you forcibly stop the flowing water, the water will not accumulate in that place.”

“Whether you go around the side of the blocking wall or go down underground, you have to move forward somehow.”

“That’s right. Betting appears in traditional fairy tales, so how can mankind stop gambling?”

The sun and the clouds also bet on taking off the clothes of passing travelers.

Gambling is a primitive sport that paralyzes human reason, and it is something that can never be separated from humans as it has been with human history.

“There is a good model. It’s America’s model.”

“…I know that well. In fact, sports-related gambling has been brought into the legal realm.”

In this world, gambling has developed into something mainly about people with special abilities, and the association has brought gambling to the sun as much as possible in America.

“In fact, it is a safe playground managed by the government.”

“Safety. Play.”

“That’s right. There can be no illegality or crime in a playground for adults. It’s a gambling house managed by S-class psychics and their associates, so who would dare commit a crime?”

There were quite a few cases where people gambled behind the scenes, but in such places, America’s heroes raided the gambling halls and shut them down.

“If you can take care of all the burden and negative effects when you bring things out of the shadows into the sun, there is no problem in theory.”

“The theory is….”

“America did it. The association minimizes side effects and establishes Xports Toto as a healthy and positive area.”

If gambling is eliminated carelessly, a bigger problem may occur, so let’s operate it legally within the scope of what one organization, whether the government or an association, can manage.

“Even though hooligans go on a rampage like that when X-Sports results are bad?”

“…Well, you don’t commit acts of destruction against people, right? They don’t tear their clothes or destroy their cars, but they don’t damage other people’s property.”

“I know that there are only a few extreme cases like that. And…most of America plays Xports Toto.”

“Yes.”

That has become a bit excessive, and America is currently focusing all its attention on Xports Toto, but even though it limits the betting amount, people throw money at the gambling managed by the association without any hesitation.

“The secret to why people were able to come to Xports Totoro and Yangji without falling into illegal gambling.”

Why?

-All funds used in Xports Toto will be used for pensions and insurance for American citizens.

Because it’s money coming back to me!

“Because you are confident that the money you lost will not disappear, but will come back to you.”

Even if you lose the 100,000 won you had bet on the match due to the odds being reversed in Xports Toto, that 100,000 won will come back to you.

“America created and promoted various related measures. We brought in as many Korean models as possible.”

“You selected and used only the strengths of our country’s various welfare policies. Was there enough budget for that?”

“It’s America, and it’s desperate.”

Whether to return to retirement funds through the national pension.

There is a certain additional charge attached to the basic pension allowance.

At year-end tax settlement, a certain percentage of the amount bet on Xports Toto is deducted from income.

Either that, or something unthinkable before the cataclysm, ‘medical insurance’ is operating normally in America, and hospital expenses are being paid by the pension fund instead.

“Cash disappears from my pocket right now, but it will come back sometime in the future. So, even if I bet on Xports Toto now, I didn’t lose my money, I just lost the opportunity to earn more.”

Because of such faith and trust, citizens not only do not fall into malicious gambling by risking money on Xports Toto, but also have firm faith in various corporations.

“America was so successful.”

however.

“Korea is different.”

That’s the case with ‘America’.

“We brought Korea’s good welfare model to America, but of course added several safety nets. It is not done properly in Korea.”

“…….”

“There was probably a discussion. Let’s reimport America’s Xports Toto model.”

“Cheongchuleoram Cheongeoram…. Sound is a good word.”

There is a saying called Yeokjisaji.

For example, in Korea, people sometimes say about Americans’ eating habits, ‘Why do they eat like they have health insurance?’

This may be because Korea’s health insurance has a ‘relative’ advantage in that it provides much more diverse coverage and covers many areas than the United States.

But now it’s the opposite.

-Why are they gambling as if they will get their money back?

In America’s Xports Toto, most of the money paid is eventually refunded, but Korea’s gambling for those with special abilities is different.

“Mr. President. As for the current pension law or fund law in this country, I do not want to go into detail. But one thing is clear.”

Click.

“The battle between Tushin and Heavenly Demon is coming soon.”

I turned on the TV.

“Numerous citizens bet on patriotism and on Tusin as jeongbae. But what do you think will happen to that money in the end?”

“…….”

“He lost his money when he bet on the investment trust, but can a person who bet 10 million won or 10 million won on the investment trust winning say, ‘I lost but fought well’?”

at all.

“I don’t know what Tushin’s mentality is, but it will be sharper and harsher than the criticism directed at the other two S-classes. So.”

In order to prevent the awakening of the S+ level demon ‘Two Demon King’ due to Eokka, I established a social safety net for all citizens.

“The National Pension Service turned the tables on the Cheonma and swept up a huge amount of money, so the President can say something.”

“…What belongs to the people is to the people.”

After all, he is the president.

“Wouldn’t it be okay to say that the President was behind the National Pension Service’s betrayal of Cheonma? Everyone will welcome the President’s firm decision.”

Win-win for everyone.

“So what does the combination and the goblin gain?”

“That is.”

There is one thing that benefits me.

“Everything for world peace.”

For peace in the family, society, country and world.

“Well, why not simply declare that you have accumulated enough funds to not have to pay national pension for one year?”

The goblin threw a gift bundle called ‘National Pension Exemption’ for one year to all citizens.
