Chapter 53 – What Can I Do? (2)
“Wow. When did our Delia do all this? You’re amazing?”
I was genuinely impressed.
It would be nice if she did it, but if not, oh well. Honestly, I was just worried Delia might be too bored, so I asked her to do it, but the results were so much better than I expected that I was surprised.
Delia, you’re so capable!
I sat on the creaking chair and glanced back. Delia had a look on her face that said it was nothing.
“This is nothing much.”
“Nothing much? You did so well. Thank you, Delia.”
When I praised her, Delia smiled shyly.
“…I’m happy that Jinhyun-nim is pleased.”
You’re so cute.
I wanted to give her a quick kiss, but I decided to hold back, worried that her favorability might increase too much.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“It’s nothing.”
I had been staring at Delia’s face too intently without realizing it.
Well, a kiss wouldn’t drastically increase Delia’s favorability, but I was more worried about myself.
‘She’s too pretty.’
Delia was wearing the T-shirt and hot pants I had bought her.
Compared to when she was wearing my underwear and T-shirt, there wasn’t much of a change in her outfit, but the feeling was different. It was like, a neat yet defenseless look. That in itself was sexy.
If I kissed her, I might just pounce on her right then and there. Even if I didn’t pounce now, it would be dangerous if it became a habit.
‘And her stamina is too good.’
After getting her stamina up to 50 and increasing her magic power, my body was acting like a monster.
I had just ejaculated eight times with Sujeong, but I still had stamina left. I could seriously go for a second round with Delia right now.
“Let me take a look first.”
“Yes. Please take your time.”
I looked at the list of files Delia had created.
I checked over a hundred items one by one.
There were various items, from common ideas like starting a broadcast or a restaurant, to sports-related startups.
There were things I didn’t know about, and things I had thought about myself.
“For stocks and real estate, the profits aren’t clearly stated?”
“Yes. The results vary depending on the funds you have. The rate of return is also not constant, but if you use the items in the Heroine App store, you can definitely increase your money.”
Definitely increase it?
Does that mean I can become a super ant investor?
“Oh. Really?”
“However, for stocks, you have to watch and work directly from the opening at 9 AM to 3:30 PM. Real estate is more of a long-term investment.”
Hmm. I see.
As I scrolled further down the list, I saw familiar names.
“Can you really make this much money with a PC cafe or a cafe?”
“Yes. If you use the Heroine App, you can make it a popular spot, no matter what.”
“Oh? How so?”
“You just need to make it special. For example, most people go to PC cafes to play games. Simply create a rumor that it’s a ‘special PC cafe where games run well,’ and place items that emit a scent that helps with concentration in various places. Just doing that will attract customers.”
Indeed, a scent that helps with concentration…
Since that’s just an example, there must be many other ways to make it successful.
“Then how do you create rumors?”
“There are items that help spread rumors. In the first place, the scent that enhances concentration will have a clear effect, so even if you don’t use the items, rumors will naturally spread over time.”
“That’s true.”
“It’s similar for any startup related to the service industry. Therefore, making money is a matter of your preference. You can do well no matter what you choose. You can even do multiple businesses at the same time. I will do my best to help you with whatever you choose.”
Wow, she’s so reliable.
Looking at Delia, I even had the illusion of seeing her hidden wings.
Delia was definitely an angel.
“But no matter what I try to do, I don’t have enough money right now…”
The required funds listed in the file Delia made mostly started in the hundreds of millions. Some even exceeded 300 to 400 million.
“Is there any way to get seed money?”
“You’ll need to find investors. If you increase your favorability and trust, investors will become active allies. Or you can use something like the lottery.”
“Lottery?”
Suddenly, I remembered the lottery shop I had seen with Sujeong yesterday.
While looking at the amazing number of 16 first-place wins, I had thought it would be nice to have an item that could help me win the lottery, but could it really be possible?
“Yes. If you use the lottery, you can get a large sum of money at once without any burden.”
“But you can’t just win whenever you want. The odds of winning first place are 1 in 8 million…”
Everyone dreams of winning the lottery.
It’s just that they don’t win.
Some say it’s a charm that allows you to be happy for a week for the price of a ticket.
“If you use the items in the store, you can definitely win.”
“Wow.”
Really?
Is it really possible to win the lottery whenever I want?
“The Heroine App is a total scam.”
“Hehe. It’s a system that chose a god.”
For some reason, Delia’s nose is in the air.
‘Well, then it’s definitely the lottery.’
In the first place, I, who had lived as an outcast until now, didn’t know where to find investors.
The only people I knew were a few high school classmates I contacted occasionally and some older guys I met at my part-time job.
The older guys from my part-time job would send me messages like they were doing a daily attendance check, and I would reply like I was doing an attendance check too. The strange thing was that this had been going on for months.
“But if you overuse the lottery, you might arouse suspicion from the people of the world. I recommend not doing it more than five times.”
“Hey. I know that much.”
In the first place, would I even need to do it five times?
Just once would be billions…
That money would be enough to start a business.
Let’s see… how much was the last winning amount?
I quickly searched the internet to find the winning amount.
“Whoa.”
4,325,000,000 won…!
Is this real? I, who used to eat convenience store discards like they were treasures, couldn’t even imagine such a huge amount of money.
“This is it…!”
The lottery is life!!
Long live the lottery!!
“Will you do it with the lottery?”
“Yeah.”
I nodded.
“Then you can search for and purchase an item called ‘Luck Tracker’ in the store.”
“Luck Tracker. Okay.”
As Delia said, I immediately went into the Heroine App store and searched for the item.
【 Luck Tracker 】: 16,200 coins
– Grade and Classification: Grade 09 / Accessory
– Description: Glasses that track the energy of luck and show you the way. If you wear the glasses and present what you want, the path to it will shine in gold. If you follow the path that shines with a deep golden light, your life will be a smooth road! A highly recommended item for those who want to see the golden path!
“This is it.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
I showed the screen to Delia so she could see the item, and she nodded.
“But the price is 16,000 coins…”
Yikes.
That’s almost all the coins I have.
“If I buy this, Delia’s capture will be delayed…”
I already felt bad for making her wait, and now it looked like it would be delayed even further.
When I looked at Delia with a sorry expression, she shook her head.
“It’s okay. I’m already so happy just being Jinhyun-nim’s heroine. The timing of the capture doesn’t matter. Just… please don’t forget me.”
Delia’s eyes shone with a pitiful light.
She was truly only thinking of me.
Delia…!
“But… in the first place, with 16,000 coins, if Jinhyun-nim works hard, you can earn that much in a week, can’t you…?”
But her eyes immediately changed to a lecherous gaze as she looked at me.
“Well, I guess so.”
Right before I had sex with Sujeong today, I had unlocked another specialized stat after magic power.
It was sex!
Since there were various specialized stats like magic power, singing, and broadcasting, I wondered if there might be a sex specialized stat, and there really was.
Moreover, my stats were high. My talent was also at an amazing level of 3.
Since I had unlocked the specialized stat, the daily sex quest had also opened. If I did a lot of naughty things with Sujeong, I could complete both the daily heroine quest and the daily sex quest at the same time and earn a considerable amount of coins.
If I completed the daily magic power quest as well, I could earn over 3,000 coins a day.
If I worked hard for about two weeks, I could earn enough coins to match Delia’s traits.
“I’ll work hard to capture Delia as soon as possible. While doing lots of naughty things with Sujeong.”
“It’s cruel of you to say that last part…”
Delia smiled.
“But I will wait forever. Jinhyun-nim.”
[ Purchase completed. 16,200 coins have been deducted. (Remaining coins: 1,017) ]
[ You have acquired the item, ‘Luck Tracker.’ ]
I immediately purchased the item.
After confirming that the item was safely in my inventory, I took a picture of the file screen that Delia had made with my phone and stretched with a good feeling.
Ugh.
First, I’ll win the lottery~, and then I’ll think about what to do while looking at the list.
“Then, since Delia worked hard today, should we order whatever Delia wants for dinner?”
Delia’s face brightened.
It was like my face when my parents bought me snacks when I was young.
“Ah. Really?”
“Yeah. Tell me anything.”
“Um… well, since we had chicken yesterday, I want to try pizza today.”
Pizza.
Sounds good.
“What kind of pizza do you want?”
I showed her the app and chose the menu with Delia.
Delia carefully decided on the store and seriously considered the menu.
“Hmm…”
It was like she was studying a subject.
“Take your time.”
“I think one of these three would be good. What do you want to eat, Jinhyun-nim?”
I looked at the menu Delia had selected.
Does she prefer meat? Delia only chose pizzas with meat as the main ingredient.
Just the fact that she didn’t choose Hawaiian was enough to show that she had good taste.
“Delia. When we ate chicken with Sujeong last time, you were honestly still a little hungry, right?”
“Huh? Ah… a little…? Ah, I think I was a very little bit hungry.”
“Hehe. Then let’s just order all three of these.”
“Is that okay?”
“Of course.”
If it were Delia or Sujeong, I could buy them something 30 times more expensive than pizza with a smile.
Really.
“Enjoy your meal~.”
The pizza was delivered an hour later.
We ate the pizza while watching Sujeong’s broadcast.
“Ah… she died again.”
“Yeah. It must not be her day today.”
Sujeong’s frustrated voice could be heard, and the chat was filled with mockery.
Delia finished two whole pizzas by herself while I ate five slices.
Amazing.
Honestly, I ordered it thinking that I could just put it in the freezer if we had leftovers, but it looked like she was going to eat it all.
“Haa… munch munch. Jihyun-nim. gulp, aren’t you eating, Jinhyun-nim?”
“I ate a lot. I’m full just watching you eat.”
“Ah… I’m sorry.”
Delia suddenly apologized with a flustered expression.
“What are you sorry for?”
“I just kept eating without being considerate…”
“No, it’s okay. Eat a lot. And don’t apologize for that. I’m happy just watching you eat well. Yeah.”
“Is that so…?”
Yeah.
It’s never bad to see a beautiful woman enjoying her food.
It’s just amazing how all that food fits into her small stomach?
Even when I was growing up, I didn’t eat that much… It’s a mystery.
If it were a normal person, I would be a little worried about their stomach, but it’s Delia, so…
Maybe she has something special in her stomach.
‘But it’s really amazing.’
Suddenly, Delia’s stomach caught my eye. Even after eating so much, her stomach was still flat, just like before she ate.
“…?”
When I stared intently at her stomach, Delia tilted her head.
She had a look that said, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“It’s just a little amazing.”
“Um. What is it?”
Delia asked, picking up a slice of pizza.
“You eat so much, but your stomach doesn’t come out at all. Is it because your body is at 90 that you don’t gain weight even if you eat a lot?”
“Ah…”
Gulp.
She swallowed the pizza in one go and continued. What did I just see?
“No. Even if your body is at 90, if you keep eating and don’t exercise, you will naturally gain weight and your stats will decrease.”
“Really?”
“Yes. But I absorb the remaining energy into the ring, so… that’s why my stomach doesn’t come out, and I also have a bit of a big appetite.”
She blushed slightly as she spoke.
It’s more than a bit, but I decided not to point it out.
“Stats can also decrease. Then you have to manage it diligently.”
“In the case of Jinhyun-nim or the people whose stats Jinhyun-nim has increased with coins, you don’t really need to manage it carefully. If you do something that goes too much against your stats, those stats may decrease, but if you just leave it alone, your stats won’t decrease.”
“Oh. That’s pretty convenient?”
Still, she said that they would decrease if I did something that went too much against my stats, so I shouldn’t overeat too much either.
I can’t let the body stats I worked so hard to raise decrease.
“Ah. Sujeong-unni lost.”
Delia said plainly, picking up the last slice of pizza.
When I looked at the broadcast according to her words, Sujeong’s team’s nexus was exploding.
The chat was filled with messages congratulating her on her 5-game losing streak.
Our Sujeong… she lost five games in a row.
[ Mission Success! ‘5-Game Losing Streak Consolation Money’ ]
[ 42YearOldVirginWizard-nim’s ‘50,000 won’ donation! ]
[ ShikjunMom-nim’s ‘30,000 won’ donation! ]
[ JeongsilBiaJjangJjangGirl-nim’s ‘10,000 won’ donation! ]
Well, maybe a losing streak isn’t so bad sometimes.
