After Graduation， I Fucked All My Classmates 36

## Chapter 36 – Back and Forth

I woke up early and started moving.
It was still dark all around.

‘Should I take the shortcut?’

Deciding that, I quickly ran to the shortcut and jumped off the cliff.

Splash!

“Wha, what?!”

The loud splash woke Science up, and he turned to look at me, startled.
Oops. I forgot there was someone here.
Park Soyoung was still sound asleep, clearly showing the difference in their personalities.

“Sorry for waking you. Go back to sleep.”

As an apology, I handed him an orange. Science hesitated for a moment, then glared at me.

“You’re not asking me to peel this for you at this hour, are you…?”
“Of course not.”

After a brief moment of hesitation, Science snatched the orange from my hand like a cat stealing food.
Every time I see him, I can’t help but think he’s cute.

“Hey, the way you’re looking at me right now… you said you wouldn’t ask me to do anything!”
“Haha. It’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Go back to sleep.”

I parted ways with Science and headed to the beach.
Then, trying to act like I was jogging, I ran along the sandy shore.

[Cash: 272,924 won]

The cash supply from Science and Park Soyoung was going smoothly.
Perhaps because they were both working hard, even after giving them enough to eat, 10,000 cash was steadily accumulating each day.

Thanks to that, I had enough leeway to focus solely on earning points for three days.

[Remaining Points: 48]

Nine daily quests.
Three main quests.
And even a bonus from the first quest completion achievement.

The points I accumulated totaled a whopping 48.
I stroked my chin and pondered deeply.

‘Hmm. I want to increase the number of daily quests, but Science and Park Soyoung are working so hard that I don’t really have anything to do.’

Even completing three a day was starting to feel tight.
Increasing the number of quests was no longer meaningful.

‘Should I increase the difficulty?’

If I was going to do it, it was better to do it right away. That way, I could earn even just one more point.

‘But what if it’s a dud? What if it’s so difficult that I can’t complete it?’

The uncertain future made me hesitate in my decision.
I shook my head.

‘No. If I keep putting it off, I’ll just keep falling behind. To get what you want, you sometimes need to be bold.’

I thought of Park Jimin. She had the nerve to swipe Yoo Hana’s cosmetics. I could never do that.
But by doing that, Park Jimin ended up getting the cosmetics she wanted so badly.

‘Sometimes you need to make a decision.’

As 10 points disappeared, a notification popped up in front of me.

[Daily quest difficulty has been changed.]
[A new daily quest is given.]

The quest content completely changed.
And I stood there, staring blankly at the content.

+
[Daily Quest 2] Complete one of the given quests.
Choice 1: Catch 10 or more clams
Choice 2: Obtain 600ml or more of drinking water
Choice 3: Make clam soup of grade E or higher
Reward: 2 points + bonus points based on score
+

It was familiar content.
I had already completed each of them once through the main quests.
The difference was that each one had “or more” attached to it.

‘So, if I want to get a lot of bonus points, I have to do that much more.’

Cooking was out of the question since I had no talent for it, so the only choices I could make were 1 or 2.
Among them, number 2 was the most suitable for me because it was cheap and I could buy it anytime.

‘The problem is, how much water do I have to buy to get the most efficiency?’

There was no way to know for sure except to test it myself. I immediately opened the store window and bought a 2L bottle of water.

[‘Daily Quest 2’ has been completed.]
[2 points have been awarded.]
[An additional 1 point has been awarded for achieving grade D.]

‘One point was given as a bonus for one bottle of water?’

Not bad. It meant that I could earn a total of 3 points by investing just one bottle of water.
I put the purchased water in my inventory and bought two more bottles of water.

[An additional 2 points have been awarded for achieving grade C.]

Two points were given as a bonus.
That’s 1 point more than before.

‘Then this time, three bottles.’

[An additional 3 points have been awarded for achieving grade B.]

1 point for 1 bottle of water.
2 points for 2 bottles of water.
3 points for 3 bottles of water.

‘Does that mean it increases by 1 point for every additional bottle of water?’

At least that’s what the results showed.

‘What is this money wasting… This is like buying points with money?’

Isn’t it?

Of course, this was a good opportunity for me.
Points were always the problem.
However, there was one drawback: the cash expenditure was too high.

The current price of water is about 1,000 won per bottle.
To earn 1,000 won, I had to sell off items worth 10,000 won.
That wasn’t as easy as it sounded, because if I sold too much to the store, the value of those items could plummet.

‘The selling price of clams is still dirt cheap because of what happened last time.’

That’s why I wasn’t so keen on cash farming.
Even if I worked more than a certain amount, the efficiency would decrease.

‘Hmm. Then there’s no need to pour money into getting a high grade.’

On the contrary, it was a situation where I could make a big profit if I wanted to earn moderately.
For example, like this.

If I complete the quest with 1 bottle of water (1,000 won), I get 3 points.
I convert 1 of those points into cash and buy water again.

I repeat that process.
Then 2 points will continue to remain for free and go into my pocket.
It means that I can see the points automatically increasing.

‘Should I really just do the work thinking I’m only earning 2 points?’

What do you think? Isn’t that a pretty good method?
As I was having such absurd thoughts, I belatedly remembered one thing.

‘Wait a minute. Isn’t there water all over the settlement right now?’

It wasn’t just all over the place, it was flowing down endlessly from the mountain. It was overflowing.
When I thought about it, wow… there was no quest as sweet as this.
If I could just get a container to hold the water, wouldn’t this be a condition where I could sweep up points?

‘Instead, it will take time and effort. I have to work hard to scoop up the water.’

But when I thought about that part, I came up with a solution.
What if I had the women scoop up the water and then I received it all at once later?

‘I can complete the quest without spending any money or time! I can earn points while doing it!’

Without putting in any effort, I can just lie down and gobble up the points.

When I thought about it that way, my fist clenched.
This was really amazing.
It was literally sweeping up points to the point where I was digging them up with an excavator.

‘Of course, it’s too early to be sure.’

But I had a feeling.
A feeling that it would work.

‘Okay. So I’ve found a way to complete the quest, and now I should check what kind of rewards the highest grade gives.’

The rewards for first place are always special.
I didn’t know what kind of special thing would be given.

After confirming that I had already completed all of today’s daily quests, I invested all of my ample points to greatly increase the number of daily quests.

[Enhancement successful. 8 daily quests will be given per day.]

With such thorough preparations, I immediately calculated.

1 bottle of water is grade D.
2 bottles of water are grade C.
3 bottles of water are grade B.

‘Maybe the highest grade is A? No, I should estimate that there are even grades up to S.’

As I was thinking that, a notification popped up in front of me.

[Grade: F – S]

As expected, there were grades up to S.
Then, in terms of calculation, if I bought 5 bottles of water, I would be able to receive grade S.

‘Okay, let’s go.’

I immediately spent cash to buy them.
And quest complete!

[‘Daily Quest 2’ has been completed.]
[2 points have been awarded.]
[An additional 4 points have been awarded for achieving grade A.]

But grade S did not come out.
Was the calculation wrong?
I added one more bottle of water and tried to complete the quest.

[An additional 4 points have been awarded for achieving grade A.]

But this time, grade A came out again.
Even if I bought 7, 8, or 9 bottles of water, it was the same. Only grade A kept coming out.

‘Are they perhaps looking at the taste of the water? Or the speed of completing the quest?’

Honestly, the taste of the water was the best. I could confidently say that it was better than any water coming out of this island.
The speed was the same. I was just buying it from the store and completing the quest, so I couldn’t complete the quest any faster than this.

‘Then what on earth is the cause?’

When I was about to buy 10 bottles of water and try again, the cash balance came into view.

[Cash: 224,414 won]

‘Huh.’

I had spent about 50,000 cash in about 10 minutes.
I had instantly squandered about 20% of my cash.

Because of that, there were 45 2L water bottles in my inventory right now.
In terms of weight alone, it was 90kg.
Even if I bought more water, there was no place to put it.

‘Maybe if I throw it on the ground and pick it up again, it will work?’

I tried it with the thought that such tricks wouldn’t work, but there was no change in the value.

‘It’s a shame. I wanted to know what the grade S criteria and rewards were.’

It was really a shame. But what could I do? The situation didn’t allow it.

‘Well, there will be a time when I can find out someday.’

Since there is a lot of water in the settlement, there will be a day when I can check what the cut-off line for grade S is.

‘Anyway, now the number of daily quests I can receive per day is 8. The reward for grade A is a total of 6 points.’

In short, it means that the maximum daily income I can earn from daily quests in the future is 48 points.
From 3 points to 48 points a day, it was a great improvement.

‘Now there’s no need to rush. The point supply has become more relaxed, and the same goes for cash. Even if I’m short on cash, I can now make up for it with points.’

Also, now I could use the points for things other than daily quests. My daily income had become sufficient.

[Remaining Points: 30]

I stared at the remaining points for a moment and quietly closed the screen.

‘Let’s think about what to unlock first. There’s no need to rush.’

I started walking again.
I kept moving forward.
Now that the point problem was solved, I felt like I had removed a pair of sandbags tied to my ankles.

My body felt light.

Perhaps that’s why I was able to run along the beach with a more jogging-like feeling.
With a very comfortable mind, I ran leisurely alone on the remote island.

***

Rustle, rustle.

Early in the morning, Woojin quietly moved his feet after confirming that there was no one in front of him.

The place where he was now was not far from where the other kids in his class were staying.
If he was unlucky and got caught by someone, the aftermath could be quite tiring.

‘Let’s just grab my stuff and run away quickly.’

Woojin moved stealthily and approached the place where he had hidden his belongings.
And when he was about to grab his things, Woojin had no choice but to stop.

‘This is.’

There was 330ml of water, crackers, and a complete balanced nutrition meal.
And they were all unopened, in their new packaging.

“…Park Jimin. Don’t bother.”

But unlike the words that came out, a smile was spreading on Woojin’s lips.
Woojin took his things and quietly left the place.

And two hours later.

“Huh?”

Park Jimin, who arrived at the same place, widened her eyes and looked around.
The pot, matches, work gloves, and the food she had left for someone were all gone.

Instead, 10 2L bottles of water, 1 bunch of bananas, and 5 oranges were placed on a white shirt.

Park Jimin, who was picking up the fruits, wondering if it was a dream, suddenly saw letters.
Black letters, as if written with charcoal, were left on the white shirt.

『Eat alone – Kkojimo』

“Ha.”

A laugh came out.
Judging by the handwriting, it was Kkojimo.

‘…I thought he was dead, but he was alive and well.’

“Tsk. Making people worry for nothing.”

Park Jimin sat down on the floor and peeled a banana and put it in her mouth.
Why? Her appetite, which had been gone for the past few days, suddenly returned.

“It’s delicious. I don’t know if it’s because someone brought it to me, but it’s very delicious.”

It would be more delicious if we sat down and ate together….
Hey, let’s not think about complicated things right now. The day will come when we meet again when the time comes.

“I’ll have to love you a lot when I meet you later, our Kkojimo.”

Smiling, Park Jimin picked up a piece of charcoal that was lying next to her and scribbled something under the words Woojin had written.

A cute heart.
