Chapter 118 – Episode 118. Is the Identity of Wealth Luck a Lottery?
***
After dinner with Dain, they went their separate ways.
Dyne returned to her original life.
And I also returned to my usual life and studied in the morning.
After studying in the morning, during lunchtime, I went outside the academy to eat alone.
After leaving the academy classroom, I left the corridor, the stairs, and the academy entrance, and even though it was lunchtime, I felt the chilly air on my face.
I didn’t feel that way because I was well dressed, but I couldn’t help but feel the air on my face.
I first came out of the academy and walked towards the food alley.
– Jeobeok, Jeobuck…
As I walk with my hands in the pockets of my outerwear, I feel the passing girls glance at me once in a while or stare at me as they do at other times.
I’m a respectable man, so it’s natural, so I don’t care that much.
By the way, I think it’s fortunate that my study pattern is not disturbed more than anything else.
I thought while walking through the food alley.
Was I this patient?
Originally, I wouldn’t have been able to get out of studying and hanging out with women because I was addicted to alcohol.
How many days have you been drinking alcohol?
Well.
It seems impossible to count.
I used to be that kind of guy.
Even though I lived like that, I had a pretty good study skills and an excellent short-term memory, so even during my school days and college, my grades were pretty good.
The unfortunate thing is that the civil service exam is a test that requires long-term memory, not short-term memory, and it is disadvantageous to me because there are too many.
That’s why I’m struggling with this.
However, I could see the singularity that it had already been a while since I had maintained this hardship.
To think that I, who was originally a crammer, could do this.
Amazing.
Is human potential infinite?
It seemed to be true that humans die without using up even 10% of their brain.
– Jeobeok, Jeobuck…
I walked with those thoughts.
While thinking that I seem to have improved my long-term concentration more than before.
That’s what I thought, but I had to eat lunch first.
So I changed my mind a bit towards the lunch menu.
‘What to eat.’
Since I had a decent meal with Dain, I wanted to eat lunch as well.
Is this correct?
Maybe it’s just my mood.
I was a bit confused as to whether it was a habit to eat delicious food so I wanted something delicious for the next meal, or if I had to eat something tasteless to get rid of the longing and want something delicious for the next meal.
It doesn’t matter anyway.
Right now, I just want to eat what I want to eat.
I just wanted to eat a leisurely and generous lunch.
I felt like I wanted to eat a meal with a generous amount and enough time to eat.
After studying at the academy like that, I came out during lunch break and the flow of my thoughts changed.
The pride of studying with long-term concentration has changed to worrying about what to eat for lunch today.
Then, out of nowhere, an idea came to my mind.
‘Ah.’
I paused.
Okay.
Why didn’t I think of that
Forgot for a while
I mean, I had a pretty decent dream.
It was a dream in which not one but two presidents handed me two presents, even showing the image of great integration of the left and the right.
If this is not a good dream, there would be few good dreams in this world.
Since eating a meal requires thinking anyway, I decided to do something that seemed to require less thought first.
It was just buying a lottery ticket.
If you’ve had a dream, buying a lottery ticket might be a natural thing to do.
I don’t usually buy lottery tickets, but if I were to receive the power of this kind of dream, I thought it would be worth buying a lottery ticket at least once.
‘Let’s go to the lottery room for now.’
The lottery room was in the direction I was walking anyway.
I came out of the academy and went all the way to the left at the three-way intersection and was passing through the food alley. With this food alley and another food alley across the main road, I first decided on which of the two food alleys to go to, rather than which store to go to. I decided to buy it first and think about it after that.
The lottery room is right along the road leading directly to the academy, cross the road at the end of the food alley, and then turn right.
– Jeobeok, Jeobuck…
I walked toward the lottery room, which I couldn’t help but see, and I saw quite a lot after passing by.
The distance is rather short.
If you walk quickly, you can come out of the academy, pass the food alley that leads to the left, pass the main road, and go to the right.
On my way to the lottery room, I looked up my dream interpretation on my smartphone.
“Dream of receiving a gift from the president… It is said to be a dream of wealth coming in. It was also Guilmong.’
In addition, there are many buildings such as gosiwons, one-room buildings, and large private academies, which are buildings that can accommodate a lot of people, but the overall size of the original area is not that large.
So I quickly arrived at the lottery room.
– Clap
-Ding, Tiding…
As I opened the door to the lottery room and entered, I heard the classic little bell.
And when I entered the lottery room, I felt the warmth from the heater inside the lottery room, so I felt good just entering.
My body and mind felt relaxed.
There is warmth in the academy, but it’s a little bit like a place to study, but the lottery room was better because it was a place to spend and was warm.
The inside of the lottery room was small.
The counter and the utility space next to it, and a few chairs in front of the counter.
That was all.
However, in the small lottery room, besides the owner sitting at the counter, two men were sitting and looking intently at some unknown ticket.
However, one of the two guests was an acquaintance.
“Uh?”
Of the two, the guest sitting outside recognized me faster than I recognized him.
“Isn’t it Jinhyeok?”
“Hello.”
The Senate was the older brother.
Sangwon Park.
29 years old.
He is currently one of the study members of the same English subject study group.
27-year-old Kim Hye-na, who is in the same study group, is in a relationship with her older sister and her lover, so the two of them sometimes miss the study together and offer a fine.
Sangwon hyung’s appearance is pretty good.
If a man has a girlfriend in this goshichon, there is a high probability that he has a decent appearance.
It is common to think that since there are many lonely women in this goshichon, it would be very easy to make a girlfriend, but that is not necessarily the case.
It’s the same world whether it’s another world or this high school town.
Just as there are rich and poor in dating in the general world, there are no special exceptions to that here.
Considering that, Sangwon hyung can also be seen as having a decent appearance.
It’s not a match for me, a respectable man, but among ordinary men, it might look good.
Sang-won’s older brother occupied a seat in the lottery room and analyzed something diligently.
“Jinhyeok, are you prototyping too?”
“No, I’m a lottery.”
“Really? Ah~, lottery. That won’t be easy. It’s better to win Proto and Toto. My brother pays 100,000 won this week.”
Well…
I don’t know.
It’s because I think that a lottery is a small amount of money rather than expecting to win anyway.
But looking at Sangwon hyung, judging from how he says ‘this week is 100,000 won’, he seems to have a mindset to win money rather than a mindset to throw away money like I do.
It’s a reversal of Totoro’s life… It didn’t look easy.
With that thought in mind, I talked to Sangwon hyung.
“Um~, isn’t 100,000 won too big?”
Sang-won hyung replied with a smile at my words.
“Hyung tends to have a lot of pocket money, so he doesn’t have much to spend in this high school town, right? It’s okay, at least this much.”
Sang-won hyung continued his speech with a relaxed expression on his face.
“Jinhyuk. And, even if this doesn’t seem like a big deal, is it possible to reverse your life?”
“Um, how?”
“Listen.”
Sang-won hyung told me.
“Among the people who gambled, there was a person who took 6.9 billion won after tax. I matched 14 matches. At that time, Valencia won a come-from-behind victory over Real Madrid… You really don’t know this? Even if you use only the analysis data well, this It’s no different than investing.”
After hearing Sangwon hyung’s words, I became a little curious.
If it is 6.9 billion after tax, it may be an amount that cannot be reached even if it is 5 times in the lottery.
So I asked Sangwon hyung.
“Is the analysis data really effective? Sang-won Lee, then, if the total amount is the total amount, how much did you win from Proto Toto?”
When I asked that far, Lee Hyung Sang scratched his head.
“Ah~, I originally won a little bit, but lately I’ve had a lot of back-and-forth, so I honestly lost overall. But, is this the end with just one hit? Where are you going? , 4 billion won often come out.”
It seems so.
I don’t think I can easily earn hundreds of millions anywhere.
However, in my opinion, it seems that it is not easy to earn hundreds of millions even with a lottery ticket.
Lee Sang-won put forward the accuracy of the analysis data, but in the end, he is saying that he is only aiming for a shot while losing.
However, when I looked at Sang-won’s paper again, it didn’t seem like he was aiming for a shot like that.
To aim for one shot, you have to walk on many teams to match them all, but it didn’t seem like that and only one team seemed to be doing it.
It seems a bit pretentious to just aim for a shot, and it’s a bit like doing it in a financial way, but I think I could agree to that line somehow.
I don’t know these things because it’s analysis, and since it doesn’t make sense to get everything right just because I do analysis, I thought I’d just play the lottery and decided to organize it properly with Lee Sang-won.
“Ah~ brother.”
“Hmm.”
“I hope you turn a profit. I don’t know if I’m doing the analysis myself to the maximum, but I’m a bit dependent on other analysis, so I’ll have to go to the lottery.”
“Yes, of course my brother turns to the black.”
Still, Sangwon hyung’s face looked confident.
If you look closely at this goshichon, there are aspects where the consumption patterns of men and women are slightly different.
Women buy cosmetics or clothes like ordinary women, but men often go to lottery rooms like this, and unexpectedly spend a lot on entertainment or alcohol.
Looking at those scenes, I don’t really want to go that far with the consumption patterns here.
Playing lottery or entertainment, as well as using your own assets, is free, so there may be no problem.
However, I tend to value memories a little.
There is a part of me that wants the time spent with someone to spend money and time to be remembered in the future.
Maybe that’s why I don’t like lotteries or entertainment so much.
I passed Sang-won and went to the counter.
“It’s an automatic lottery.”
“How much. Five?”
“Yes.”
Soon a set of 5 lottery papers with numbers came out, and I took it and put it in my wallet.
Of course, the probability of not winning this is overwhelming, but for some reason, it was a dream that two presidents came out and gave gifts, so I had a feeling of anticipation for some reason.
Is the identity of wealth luck a lottery?
Well, even if it’s not necessarily a lottery, it felt like riches would come in once in a while.
