Chapter Title: A Beef Feast for the Family
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Bought 150,000 won worth of beef.
Flower sirloin, salchi-sal, skirt steak, short ribs.
Throughout the entire time grilling the beef over charcoal,
his parents were absolutely delighted.
Jin-seong deeply realized that happiness really could be bought with money.
Less than 200,000 won had made everyone so happy.
"Come visit often. Better yet, bring your siblings next time. I'll buy lots of delicious stuff every time you drop by."
"Hoho, just hearing that makes me happy. Alright, we'll come often with the kids. Next time, Mom will treat us to something fancy."
"Heh heh, thanks to you, my taste buds are living large. Beef after so long tastes incredible."
They ate their fill of meat.
"I'll send 90 million won by next week."
"Son, thank you so much. And I'm sorry. We couldn't help you as parents—instead, we're just dragging you down while taking your aid."
"I always feel ashamed around you. All the help you've given us over the years... I'll work hard and pay it all back."
"No, don't apologize. Don't even think about paying it back. Just accept it gratefully. Think of it as receiving filial piety."
His parents' eyes grew misty.
"Dad, I'll buy an SUV soon and send it home."
"Really? You're really going to buy it? You don't have to..."
"Son? What car? If you have money for a car, give it to Mom instead."
His father's eyes narrowed. The lighthearted smile vanished. His face darkened considerably.
Glancing at his mother's expression, his father spoke with intense eyes.
Buy it—! Please buy the car—!
It was a gaze full of desperate longing.
"I'll buy an SUV and send it over."
Joy and disappointment crossed paths.
His mother furrowed her brows, displeased with the answer, while his father broke into a warm smile.
His mother shot his father a sharp glare—an SOS to rein in their son.
"Ahem."
His father turned his head away, avoiding her gaze. Half pleased, half embarrassed, he cleared his throat awkwardly.
"Take this."
Jin-seong handed over an envelope.
It contained pocket money inside.
300,000 won for his mother.
300,000 won for his father.
It wasn't a huge amount,
but it was pocket money given from the heart.
His parents were truly overjoyed.
Mother's Inner Thoughts:
"Thanks to my son, we resolved the debt issue smoothly. I may not have money luck, but I sure have kids who bring blessings."
"Now that the debt's paid... time to save for the kids' tuition. Gotta send the second and youngest to college..."
"Once the kids are all raised... we'll prepare for our old age. Looks like I need to work at least 10 more years..."
Father's Inner Thoughts:
"Jin-seong is such a filial son. The most kind and good-hearted among the kids."
"My old friends' kids are all begging their parents for money, but our Jin-seong is the opposite. The total opposite."
"We haven't done anything for him... couldn't even send him to college... As parents, we've only received... I'm sorry and proud..."
His father's eyes grew misty.
"Drive safely."
He saw his parents off.
Jin-seong gazed endlessly at the receding morning car.
"Man... money... is pretty great..."
Money was a tricky thing. Without it, life was tough and miserable. With it, everything felt relaxed and comfortable.
"I want to... earn even more money..."
Money was something the more you had, the better. Jin-seong wanted to make a ton of it.
The reason he wanted to earn a lot wasn't mere vanity.
It was a heartfelt wish for himself and those around him to be happy.
Back in his room.
He filled a glass with tap water and carefully watered the Wish Tree. He earnestly wished and prayed with all his might.
'May the people around me... be happy... healthy... safe... and well...'
It was a warm sentiment.
[Wish Tree: 2/100]
The Wish Tree grew. Its trunk thickened, and its branches stretched longer.
'I wonder what fruit it'll bear?'
What kind of item would it give?
'I'm curious.'
He was excited.
Opened the shop.
[Remaining Points: 20]
Bought the Random Luck Note item for 10 points.
A folded golden note materialized in the air.
The reason for buying the Random Luck Note.
He wanted to make big money.
'Let's go!'
What would it say?
He carefully unfolded the neatly folded Random Luck Note.
Checked the contents.
[Random Luck Note]
Lee Myung-ho hyung's company received major investment from foreign investors. Speculative forces jumped in, and market hype drove the stock price up over 4x in a month. Lee Myung-ho hyung was super bummed. He lamented nonstop that he sold too early and only got 2x gains.
Whoa?! Jackpot?!
To Jin-seong's eyes, only the words "up over 4x" registered.
'4x? 4x?! 4X!!'
Buying the Random Luck Note was the best decision.
'4x... Invest 100 million, get 400 million!'
Oh man?! Insane! Totally insane!!
Myung-ho hyung, you free tomorrow evening? lol
If you're not busy, wanna grab dinner tomorrow? ^___^
Sounds good. Let's meet tomorrow evening. ^^
I'll buy dinner and share some stock tips too lol
Jin-seong, anything you wanna eat?
Nah, you're sharing tips, so I gotta buy the meal. lol
Hyung, how about octopus shabu-shabu? They say it's great for the body.
Nah, I should buy lol
Octopus? Kuuhhh—! Nice. I've been feeling drained lately; this'll be perfect for recharging lol
A soft smile formed on Jin-seong's lips.
Lee Myung-ho was a good man. An excellent person. He reminded him of a giving tree.
'Even though he's older than me, he always speaks politely, answers my questions wisely.'
There was so much to learn from him.
'I want to become a good person like Myung-ho hyung someday. Buy meals for my siblings, say kind words.'
Checked Choi A-young's KakaoTalk.

lol Parents left. Time to watch Jonye Release's stream and edit videos.
Choi A-young earned 500k to 700k a day. On great days, over a million.
She had a natural knack for streaming, nailed joint missions with other BJs, and succeeded every challenge.
'I take 20%...'
The revenue split had adjusted from 9:1 to 8:2.
Jin-seong had planned on 9:1, but A-young insisted on 8:2.
'Minimum 100k a day... 2.6 million a month minimum...'
2.6 million was the floor. Figure at least 3 million.
'3 million... more than factory life...'
YouTube revenue was separate.
[Viewers: 200]
[Viewers: 201]
[Viewers: 202]

Logged into the stream.
'She's really good.'
Choi A-young was playing mid Akali. She loved and mains Akali.
'Her skills have improved a ton.'
Akali mercilessly shredded the enemy Katarina. Overwhelming, brutal dominance.
'She'll hit Master today for sure.'
While watching the stream.
'Time to edit videos.'

[Mindblowing Solo Carry Akali! #Akali Ep (7)]
Checked comments.
Editor dude, 1 vid a day is too few! Minimum 2, max 3!!
Editor-nim, as I've said a million times, videos over health!
Release-nim is a total talent freak.
Choi A-young ended the stream.
Phone rang.
- Oppa Jin-seong.
"Yeah? What's up?"
- I'm lonely. Miss you. Can I come over?
"Yeah. Come on by."
10 minutes later.
Choi A-young arrived.
"Oppa..."
Choi A-young threw herself into his arms. Rubbed her face against his chest. Inhaled his scent deeply.
"Haa... Oppa smells so good..."
She was wearing a skirt.
Slipped his hand inside.
Soaking wet.
"Why are you so wet?"
"'Cause... I wanna do it with you..."
"Got excited thinking about me?"
Nod nod.
Stripped Choi A-young naked.
Removed everything, even underwear.
[Erogenous Zone Detector: ON]
Where were A-young's erogenous zones?
'Clitoris has the thickest red dotted line... then G-spot... left breast next...'
Collarbone, thigh, right breast in order.
Anal was faintly dotted.
"Want me to suck yours, oppa?"
"Nah. Tonight, I'll do you."
Laid Choi A-young on her back properly. Mounted her and stimulated her erogenous zones.
"Haah... Oppa..."
She got desperate from the persistent teasing.
"Ahng... Oppa... put it in..."
"Where?"
"Haht... In A-young's pussy... quick..."
She spread her legs herself. Spread her pussy wide open. Jin-seong thrust his cock between her thighs.
Her moans intensified.
Moans leaked from next door.
- Oppa... ahng... feels so good...!
He'd brought a woman over during the day for rough sex, and now in the dead of night, another woman was over, rolling in the sheets again.
"Ugh... tastes like dog food..."
Oh Mi-yeon pulled the blanket over her head.
"Ahng..."
Squelch! Slosh!
Her hand was inside her panties.
She'd been heating up thinking about their intimate movie date tomorrow.
But the intense moans from next door made her lust explode.
'Annoying...'
It bruised her pride.
Oh Mi-yeon of all people, top pick for men's jerk-off fantasies.
Using the guy next door as jerk-off material. Moans as side dish.
It was humiliating.
Degrading.
"Ahng..."
First masturbation in nearly half a year.
It was chaos. A flood. Felt so good she bit her lip hard.
"Gasp?!"
Jin-seong startled.
"What?"
Oh Mi-yeon snapped curtly.
"Wow..."
Speechless.
Oh Mi-yeon's beauty, meticulously dolled from head to toe, was otherworldly—like a fairy descended.
No, even more stunning than a fairy. He lost himself without realizing.
