Episode 74

I pulled out a crumpled flyer from my pocket as if asking whether he didn’t know about it.

Chairman Kang furrowed his brow as he took it.

[Emergency Warning – Must Read and Share with Others]

On January 1, 2000, at 0:00, there is a possibility that computer systems worldwide will simultaneously malfunction.

Due to the so-called “Millennium Computer Bug (Y2K),” experts are issuing consecutive warnings that the electrical, communication, financial, and transportation systems that humanity has depended on until now could be paralyzed.

Bank balances will become non-existent money, and identity records will also be deleted.

Military and satellite systems will become unpredictable, and the day when the world’s order collapses is approaching.

Ways to Survive

-No going out on the night of December 31, 1999

-Secure cash (stock market crash and deposit nullification)

-Water and food for at least 7 days

-Prepare candles, matches, and radio

-Never use elevators

-Wait inside your home

Prepare in advance.

If you have read this, do not throw away this flyer but copy and distribute it.

It was the flyer that had been stuck in the milk chute not long ago.

Y2K rumors had been circulating before the year 2000.

It was a rumor that computers wouldn’t recognize the signal for the year 2000, causing worldwide errors that would put the world in danger.

“….”

Chairman Kang read it, then looked at me with a mysterious expression.

And he raised the corners of his mouth.

It was an expression as if he had been caught off guard but was enjoying it.

“Interesting.”

Soon the vehicle stopped in front of the apartment.

The secretary opened the door on my side, and I raised both hands near my stomach and greeted Chairman Kang politely and firmly.

“Thank you for giving me a ride.”

Since Gu Chaea is a well-mannered child, she also bowed to the secretary who drove.

‘Hehe, it was worth keeping in mind today’s fortune advice to prepare for the crisis of identity exposure.’

Chairman Kang nodded with a satisfied face and waved his hand.

“Come play at our house soon.”

“Yes, Grandfather!”

Hehe, I should go home and eat ice cream.

[Guardian’s Growth Stage 4 Achieved]

Oh, this is good news while my head was complicated.

The achievement condition for ‘Guardian’s Growth’ stage 4 was achieving intermediate English skills.

When I asked Noah, he said the standard was 70 points based on college entrance exam English.

‘I must have talent in English to reach this level from zero base.’

Otherwise, there’s no way I could have grown this much in just a few months!

‘Isn’t Father a genius too?’

One-third of the black star is filled up.

Maybe that’s why he seems mysteriously more sparkling and handsome lately.

He was already handsome before though.

Should I check my assets after a long time?

“Money.”

At my words, Noah barked “Woof!” and showed me the balance.

A whopping, whopping!

2 billion won was in my account!

They say money calls money, and after 1 billion it was like breaking bamboo.

My cute money making great moves in the rising NASDAQ market.

I wanted to take out bundles of money and give them deep kisses, but I had to restrain myself.

I felt good thinking that by the time I graduate from kindergarten, I’d have 10 billion gathered.

Woof-

[૮₍´˶ᵔ ᴥ ᵔ˶₎ა]

Noah barked as if congratulating me after seeing my satisfied face.

“Noah.”

Woof-

I petted the much clearer puppy and said to Noah.

“Should I retire when I gather 10 billion? I think I could eat and play for the rest of my life.”

Noah shakes his head.

[૮₍ ᗜ ᴥ ᗜ ₎ა]

“What do you know? Do you know how dirty and petty making money is?”

I never want to go back to the past when I dozed off on the subway during my morning commute every day.

As I opened the door while being happy about the dazzling future, Junho wasn’t there as expected since he was filming.

“Ahh, nice.”

I lay comfortably on the sofa and looked at the 3 billion in front of me with the most loving gaze in the world.

Woof-

“Alright, I’ll do it.”

But Noah, who couldn’t stand seeing me rest, panted and barked.

Well, my heart is already this generous, but there’s something I absolutely can’t skip.

It was the daily Pacman I do to collect karma points.

The tedious work of collecting scattered souls.

I get ten chances a day, and if I succeed quickly all ten times, I accumulate 1,300~1,500 karma points.

The karma points accumulated so far are 39,920 points!

Still, they’re accumulating better than I initially thought.

In other words, I’m getting close to the 50,000 points needed to save one person by revealing heavenly secrets(?)!

Smack-

“Ow!”

Who would understand Gu Chaea’s silk-like heart trying to sacrifice herself for others even while getting hit?

After finishing nine rounds, I finally exceeded 40,000 points.

“Purchase Super Lucky Potion!”

But instead of the salvation ticket, I spend 40,000 points.

[Super Lucky Potion: A-grade. Drinking this potion will make small luck last a lifetime. Also has a 30% buff effect on karma point acquisition. The small luck boost reward also applies to Noah.]

Hehe, investment is essential for greater results.

This is an item I’ve had my eye on from the beginning after seeing it has a buff for karma point acquisition.

Gulp gulp-

I quickly drank the pink liquid from the small glass test tube that appeared in my hand with a flash of light.

Fortunately, it had no taste other than water.

[The Super Lucky Potion has increased your luck stat.]

After finishing the tenth Pacman, I was very satisfied to see 170 points had come in at once.

‘Now Noah’s hacking speed will be faster too, right?’

“Chaeaaa!”

“Chaea!!”

At Min-hyeok’s magnificent mansion, where I came holding Father’s hand.

I flinched at the sight of two kids running toward me.

Haedeun in an ivory dress and Haesoo in checkered pants stood in front of me, looking at me with sparkling eyes like expectant puppies.

‘I suspected it would be these kids, but it really was them.’

“Min-hyeok’s niece and nephew, they’re twins who go to the same kindergarten as Chaea.”

Since they’re the only five-year-old twins at Somang Preschool.

“Dad helped out a bit. Min-hyeok asked him to help grant his niece and nephew’s wish. As thanks, Min-hyeok has been teaching me English here and there…”

I have no regrets since the dramatic improvement in English skills helped me achieve the guardian’s growth Quest.

“Welcome, Junho. And…”

Min-hyeok came out from behind the brightly smiling twins to greet us.

Looking at the dark circles under his eyes, it seemed like he’d been waiting for us for quite a while.

“Adorable Chaea. I missed you.”

Min-hyeok lowered his gaze to meet my eyes and smiled with a wink.

He’s incredibly handsome even on second look.

The title “Korea’s No.1 Super Handsome Guy” that boldly appears whenever Min-hyeok is on variety shows doesn’t seem out of place at all.

“But did you guys already know each other?”

Junho asked, looking at Haesoo and Haedeun who were already holding both my hands.

“Yes, we’re classmates.”

Haedeun answered brightly.

“Really? That’s great. You’ll be able to have fun playing together.”

Junho also spoke cheerfully with an eye smile.

“Yes, we thought of 100 games to play with Chaea!”

Ah, I’m suddenly getting tired.

“Let’s go, Chaea. Should we start with house first?”

“Uh…”

“Sounds good?”

“Haesoo will be the dad, so Chaea can be the mom.”

“No, Chaea should be the dad, and Haedeun will be the mom.”

“Then let’s go decide with rock-paper-scissors.”

“Okay!”

‘Kids, what about my opinion?’

Like Conan being dragged away by the Detective Boys, I was led somewhere while being held by Haedeun and Haesoo’s hands.
