Chapter 10 (1/2)

Seung-ho sat alone in the convenience store blankly staring off into the distance In his hands lay a single small business card

‘Haa’

At first he’d been happy to receive such an offer, but as tier Model It was an offer he’d never thought he’d receive

He’d heard that es couldn’t even be compared to it But still, he worried

What if it wasn’t actually a shopping an harvesters or shri boats?

As he raised his intelligence he was self-aware enough to realize that his looks were good enough to be a model, but he hadn’t completely fixed his personality yet

He feared standing in front of other people and his self-confidence was extremely low

‘Yeah, it’s not time yet’

At theto the newly-changed circu-ho felt sad, but he crumpled the business card and tossed it in the trash in order to not leave any lingering hope behind

‘As long as I don’t get ugly, another chance will find

“Welcome!”

A fe clothes that showed off her chest She was an escort who came by often Around the convenience store, there were all sorts of lodgings, places to get help in karaoke rooms, host bars, and all kinds of entertainment and pleasure businesses

Due to the huge convenience store across the street, the smaller one was mostly dull If it weren’t for theers every day

‘The ly, because there were no people willing to work in a place like this’

The escort walked straight up to the cash register and placed an order

“A pack of Soboro and a lighter”

This girl ht one with a case of cigarettes

‘Does she just throw it away after using it?’

It was simply a curiosity, but he didn’t really think too led up with her

“That will be 5,000 won”

As he received her card, co with the lighter and pack of cigarettes, the escort suddenly winked at Seung-ho and spoke

“Oppa, you look cute You should swing by our shop later~”

Puckering her lips, she made an “Ooh” sound as she left the store

‘She’s been doing that lately Is it because I’ve gotten handsome?’

Abruptly, a panel popped up in front of his eyes

QUEST:

Go find the guest’s business and co a service

Reward: 10 points

“fuck that”

He was so dumbfounded that a swear slipped past his lips

“I won’t do it I’ll never do it”

He obstinately shook his head and closed theNever Even if the reas 100 points, he didn’t want to do it

‘With what criteria are the quests formed?’

He had completed quests for over a month, but he still hadn’t found a plausible condition that invoked quests One thing was for sure, though: Only the quests related to the current situation appeared

Soo) quests would pop up, but most were quests that were possible to do, as well as quests that didn’t disadvantage Seung-ho when they were completed

‘Is it related to my ambitions?’

That was a plausible deduction The quests could have been dispatched following his unconscious i it

‘But uploading that video…’

He couldn’t deny it completely The betrayal and inferiority he’d felt about Han Ye-hee back then had been extremely severe

When he thought about it now, he realized that she hadn’t betrayed him at all However, at the tiht that way and that could have been a possible reason the quest popped up Thus, he couldn’t be sure

“Haa”

His heart suddenly becaht that the quests that he’d thoughtlessly completed could have hurt others

‘I’ve started having a lot of thoughts since raising hts’

As he repented for the ed to not coht at the convenience store passed by

-----

“Guys, the answers came out!”

As Sung-yun reat muss and laid a bunch of answer sheets on the lecture desk, the students at the very front retrieved as much of the papers as there were students in their row and passed them back

With a pounding heart, Seung-ho looked at the answer sheet and began to tally his scores

‘I think I did really well this time’

Since he’d raised his intelligence to 21 points, it was hard for him to fail but he was still satisfied

The sk-sk sound of the red pensthe answers, and the drip-drip sound of the rain falling filled the room Problem after problem made the students feel a mixture of joy and sorrow

Even during the e-ho couldn’t hide the smile that steadily crept up on his face

‘A-awesome’

Snoas finally falling on the test papers on which rain had fallen every time before There were much more correct answers than there were mistakes

‘I can go to a national university now!’

His grades up till then had been down in the du frankly, they’d all been a class 7 He had stood between a local college and a trade school; universities had been out of the question

However, things were different now Korean: 65 Math: 72 English: 61 The subjects that had never passed the halfway mark had all risen above 60

To others these -ho’s dream scores

Frankly speaking, Seung-ho hadn’t studied at all before taking thethe intelligence would improve his scores to this extent

‘To top it off, my math score is twice the previous score!’

Even though he was slish, so he couldn’t have scored higher With math, he could simply use the basics well and solve hard problems that way, and so it had improved the most

‘If I really study, I’ll be able to get into universities in Seoul’

Of course, raising the intelligence increased the scores, but there were bound to be li If he studied hard with his current intelligence, he would be able to break through that limit

The average person had an intelligence score of 10

There were people ere born with extraordinary levels in stats such as strength, agility, or sta-ho and theence levels was distinct

Additionally, other statistics could generally be created with effort, but things like intelligence couldn’t be created easily even effort; the phrase ‘born with it’ was important in this case
