Chapter 32:Money and Talent Pour In

Chapter 32: Economic Market Information (1 ) The quest was completed right on schedule, just as expected. [Quest ‘The Era of Companion Animals Has Arrived’ has ended.] [Quest Cleared!] [Additional rewards will be given due to exceeding the requirements.] [Calculating rewards…] [Calculation complete.] [You have acquired a Low-grade Card.] [You have earned 7 Foresight Points.] A Low-grade card and 7 Foresight Points. Not bad at all. He once donated 10 million won to his alma mater and received 8 points. This time, although the actual donation amount was smaller, having to spread donations across multiple places seemed to have earned him a bonus. The card wasn’t the lowest grade either. Low-grade was definitely good. He had once obtained the skill ‘Eyes that See Scenarios’ from a Low-grade card before. Remembering that, the rising anticipation he felt now was by no means an exaggeration. Well then, first things first. As a celebration for clearing the sponsorship quest, he decided to draw...

Chapter 31:Money and Talent Pour In

  Chapter 31: Daily Quest (1) First, he needed to figure out the drone’s exact location. He looked up carefully, but couldn’t see anything that looked like a drone. “Where is it? I can’t see it properly.” “Over theeere!” The child pointed, and Ryu Seong stared intently in that direction. A little more carefully. Tilting his head at different angles. “Ahh, that one?” “Yes!” Only then could he faintly make out the drone caught on a fairly high tree branch. The leaves had been blocking his view, making it hard to spot. Just in case, he borrowed a device from the kids and tried operating it. *Click, clack.* The drone didn’t budge. “Hmm.” It looked like he’d have to climb the tree. It would be tough, but it seemed possible. “Hyung, please get it down for us~” “Okay, don’t worry.” Since the time limit wasn’t very generous, he needed to hurry. Let’s give it a try. He grabbed the tree trunk and applied a bit of strength to his arms. Surprisingly, his body felt light. *Oh, this might work.*...

Chapter 30:Money and Talent Pour In

  Chapter 30: Foresight (1) Ryu Hwan stared intently at Ryu Seong. The gaze was so blatant that it was impossible to ignore. “What? Why?” “It’s unexpected.” “What is?” “Hyung, you usually don’t say things like that.” “Ahem, that’s true.” “What’s gotten into you?” “Well… it was just too obvious. I couldn’t just let it slide.” If he hadn’t known, maybe it would’ve been different, but since it was being shoved right in his face, he couldn’t just stay silent. That was all there was to it. Anyway, he had received the reward, and now all he had to do was wait for the delivery date of the car he liked, so his mood was quite good. “Let’s head home soon.” It had been a while since he’d done something with his younger brother, just the two of them. Occasionally doing this didn’t seem so bad. “Is school fun?” “Well, it’s just okay. But since it’s what I want to do, I’m working hard at it.” “Ooh.” “Ahem…” They chatted about nothing in particular as they arrived home. Meow~ Lucky greeted them w...

Chapter 29:Money and Talent Pour In

    Chapter 29: Buying a Dream Car (1) While checking my emails, something caught my eye. *Huh, something came in.* Just then, a message arrived. - Hey, it’s Kim Mi-so. I just received the sponsorship fund usage report by email. I sent it to you. - It just arrived. - Take a good look and let me know if there’s any problem. - Got it, will do. I sent a short reply and downloaded the report. School trip expenses, school uniforms, bookstore gift certificates, and more. It was the first official usage report proving that the sponsorship money was being used in various ways. “They’re doing well.” There was nothing particularly to nitpick about. This was enough for now. I could continue checking the usage of the funds going forward. But today, I had things to do, so after eating breakfast, I left the house. The place I arrived at was a cafĂ©. My younger brother, Ryu Hwan, was already there waiting. “Hyung, over here.” “How were your classes?” “Fine.” It had been a while since I saw su...

Chapter 28:Money and Talent Pour In

   Chapter 28: Determination (1) I came to my senses and answered right away. “Yeah, of course. I’ll do it.” “It’s written all over your face—you’re thinking it’s way too big.” “Ah, haha…” “You don’t have to worry too much. More volunteers will be coming, so you’ll only be in charge of one section.” “Oh right, that’s true. Whew, what a relief.” In truth, I had been a little worried because the playground was so large. I had momentarily forgotten that other volunteers would be joining. Reminded of that fact, I headed over to the assigned section. “You just need to clean up this area and play with the dogs at the same time.” “Got it.” I continued with the light cleaning and playing with the dogs. Before long, the other volunteers arrived. “Hello!” “Oh my, welcome back. You’re here again.” “Of course!” “Alright, let’s start from over here…” They each took charge of their sections and began tidying up the playground neatly. They cut overgrown weeds, cleaned up the dogs’ poop, and ...

Chapter 27:Money and Talent Pour In

   Chapter 27: Regular Points (2) After finding a seat on the subway, I sent a message to the veterinarian. “Sorry for contacting you out of the blue. I just had a question. By any chance, is there anyone among the people whose contact info you gave me who does YouTube (NaverTube)?” I thought it might take a while, but surprisingly, the reply came quickly. “No, as far as I know, none of them do YouTube!” “Ah, I see. Thank you!” “You’re welcome, take care ^^” “You too, Doctor—thanks for all your hard work!” After exchanging greetings, I opened the NaverTube app. I went to the subscriptions menu, entered “Happy Street Cats & Dogs TV,” and started watching old videos at increased playback speed, one by one. At first, the videos were simply recordings of dogs and cats living on the streets. Later, the creator began providing them with food little by little. After some time passed, he chose several fixed spots, built shelters for the street dogs and cats there, and started look...
