chapter 3
Episode 3
Min-joon fell into his own thoughts while drinking his iced Americano coffee through a straw.
The wristwatch worn on the left wrist was not an ordinary item.
After thinking about it, I named it Watch Time.
Anyway, by activating the watch time, I went back in time, bought a lucky lottery ticket, and returned.
Thanks to that, I won two first-place games and two third-place games in the Lucky Lottery, respectively.
After taxes, he received 67.156 billion won.
I ate high-quality Korean beef grilled to my heart’s content at Gwanghwamun’s 3rd generation Korean beef house.
Now, I ordered a cup of iced Americano coffee from the Star Angel coffee shop, which I wouldn’t have dared to do, and was sitting by the window and drinking it.
That means 4,800 won per cup.
If it had been Minjun before, it would have never been possible.
But now this amount of money was really nothing.
Joo Woo-wook!
I drank iced Americano coffee through a straw.
“Hmm, the taste of premium coffee beans is definitely different.”
Once he won the lucky lottery and received the winnings, he became rich.
Now I’ve been thinking about what to do next.
First of all, I was thinking of going back to college with one semester left and paying off my student loans.
However, it was only after the summer had passed and in the fall that I was able to return to school.
Until then, it seemed that it would be good to move to a better place and adapt to a new life.
Now that he is a wealthy man with tens of billions of won, he did not have to take the civil service exam or get a job.
However, I did not have any experience or skills, but I had no intention of starting a company or starting a private business that opened a store of a suitable scale.
“As long as you don’t spend a lot of money out of excessive greed such as buying a high-end foreign car, overspending, gambling, drinking, or meeting a flower snake or a kimchi girl, you can live comfortably and comfortably.”
Even to his parents and siblings, he would not reveal the fact that he had won the lucky lottery at all.
On the outside, I was going to make it look the same as usual.
I thought I could be richer than I am now if I used watch time well.
The future could change drastically if you forcefully time travel to the past and do nonsense.
Even Min-jun himself didn’t want that.
‘Rather than changing the past, it would be better to time-shift to the future, figure it out, and then come back and use it.’
From the perspective of Min-joon, the future could change as much as he wants depending on how he lives now.
However, in the past, even a trivial thing could have been a big disappointment if you made a wrong judgment.
This time, I planned to time travel to the future, test it out, and return.
Now, I thought I would not do anything that could change the present and future by moving time to the past.
If you travel back in time to a short future within a month, which is not much different from the present, not the distant future, and find out the lucky lottery winning number and return, you can use it as much as you want in the present.
If he won the first prize in the lucky lottery just twice, he could have become rich with 200 billion won.
Then I could eat well and live well without worrying about money.

Susut! Papapat!
Min-jun was contained in a transparent membrane, floating about 30 centimeters in the air.
I knew that the timer wouldn’t work if it was inside this transparent membrane.
After looking around, I decided it was safe, so I pressed the activation button of the watch time I was wearing on my left wrist.
Pussss!
As the transparent membrane dissipated, Min-joon, who was inside, landed on the floor.
As expected, the timer worked, but the valid time was 24 hours.
Before the time shift, it was 10:23 pm on Thursday, May 14, 2015.
But now it was Tuesday, May 26, 2015 at 11:10 am.
It was burdensome to time-shift to a future that was too far away, so he moved to a future of about 12 days, which was considered safe.
In a way, it could be said that he was timid, but above all else, Min-jun’s own safety was the top priority.
I moved time between the stairs on the 3rd and 4th floors of Sky One Room, and it was the same spot.
Only the time period was different.
By any chance, at this time, in other words, the future Minjun could have moved without living in room 301 on the 3rd floor of Sky Studio.
It was because Minjun himself won the first prize in the lucky lottery and received 67.156 billion won after tax.
Because of that, he is only in the future 12 days later, but Min-jun himself is a person of the past in this future time frame.
In fact, even Min-jun himself did not know anything about how it would have changed.
As such, it was best to be cautious, as we did not know what dangers there were.
“Uhm, let’s go out and find out for now.”
I left the Sky One Room building and walked quickly in the opposite direction I didn’t normally go.
Min-jun saw a Hera PC room, so he went there.
The beautiful part-time student said with a smile.
“welcome.”
“It is one person.”
“Yes, please go to seat 32.”
Minjun nodded and went to seat number 32 and sat down.
After looking at the PC monitor, I first connected to the Internet and searched for Lucky Lottery.
The current time today is Tuesday, May 26, 2015 at 11:42 am.
Therefore, I was able to check the lucky lottery’s May 16th and May 23rd lottery by simply searching the Internet.
Naturally, I took out the prepared memo pad and ballpoint pen and wrote down only the winning number.
Then I quickly put it in my pocket.
‘Huhuhu, I simply achieved my goal. But we can’t leave right away, so let’s spend an hour or so before leaving.’
I ordered two rolls of gimbap, one ramen, and one can of cola.
Then, I deleted the search for Lucky Lottery and looked at real-time issues.
It’s only 12 days into the future, but I wanted to search out of curiosity to find out what happened in the meantime.
It was about popular actor Na Yeong-chan who was in a car accident and was hospitalized, but was not critical or otherwise and needed to receive treatment for about two months.
While I was reading an article written by a reporter, a beautiful part-time worker approached me with a tray in her hand.
I ordered two rolls of gimbap, one ramen, and one can of cola.
“bon appetite.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Minjun looked at the back of the beautiful part-timer as she turned around and walked away.
He was wearing a t-shirt and jeans, but his body was good enough.
However, it was not comparable to celebrities.
She was just a beauty that could be seen around her.
The gimbap was tuna gimbap and beef gimbap, but after eating one by one, it was exactly the taste I knew.
I tried the ramen with steam, and it was basic.
Still, it wasn’t bad.
While eating gimbap and ramen, I also drank a can of cola.
At the same time, I read the contents of the article searched using the mouse.
After a while, I finished eating, took the tray, went to the counter, returned it, and paid.
“come again.”
“Yes, then please do your best.”
After leaving the Hera PC room, Minjun walked to the Sky studio with leisurely steps.
I was a little nervous because I didn’t know if I would run into Minjun himself.
I quickly climbed the stairs, stood on the stairs on the 3rd and 4th floors, took a look, and manipulated the watch time.
Back!
I pressed the action button.
Susut! Papapat!
Minjun’s figure disappeared as if it were scattered.
The place that reappeared was the original time and place.
Minjun was inside the transparent membrane.
When I turned around and looked out the window, it was a dark night.
Pussss!
As the transparent membrane dissipated, Min-jun landed on the floor.
It was 10:23 p.m. on Thursday, May 14, 2015, the very time when time shifted to the future.
As if nothing had happened, I pressed the password for room 301 on the 3rd floor, opened the door, and went inside.
Awesome!
When the city bus stopped at the bus stop, Minjun got off.
He wore a T-shirt that would look like an ordinary college student, a windbreaker, jeans, and sneakers.
I go into the convenience store and draw a lucky lottery this Saturday, that is, tomorrow, May 16, Saturday evening.
That’s why I first bought two 1-game formulas with the 1st prize winning number of the lucky lottery I got from the future.
After that, I bought 5 games with a different number from the 1st winning number, that is, the 3rd winning number.
I deliberately marked one completely different number to make it look like I was lucky enough to have won third place.
So, no matter who saw it, it would seem that it was unfortunately a 3rd place 5 game.
‘Whoa, if I do this, it will naturally look like I won third place.’
He also knew the winning number for the first prize in the lucky lottery for Saturday, May 23rd next week.
However, I couldn’t buy it right away and had to wait until next week to buy it.
‘If I win the first prize in the lucky lottery next week, I’ll win the first prize six times.’
After examining the numbers of the three lucky lottery tickets I purchased, I signed an endorsement on the back and put them in my wallet.
I opened the beverage fridge, picked up a coffee drink, paid for it, and drank it through a straw.
I slowly finished my coffee drink, thinking about what to do now.
Only then did I calmly leave the convenience store and take a taxi to Dogok-dong.
When the taxi stopped on the side of the road, I opened the car door and Minjun got out and entered Shin Dogok Real Estate on the first floor of a commercial building.
Gyeong-ri Yeo and a middle-aged man in his mid-40s were each sitting in a chair.
The middle-aged man looked at Minjun and said.
“welcome.”
“I’d like to see some apartments for sale.”
“is it so? Is there an apartment you are specifically looking for?”
“It’s not like that, but I want it to be a high-end apartment.”
“Hoo, is that so?”
The real estate agent looked at Min-joon and touched the silver pad to show what was for sale.
After looking at several apartments for sale, I found that the Tower Vivaldi apartment in Dogok-dong, Seoul was newly built only about two years ago, so it looked clean overall and was nice.
There were several listings, and I looked at one of them.
It was 30 pyeong, and the sale price was 1.6 billion won.
‘It’s over 53 million won per pyeong.’
I didn’t know the apartment market price at all, so it was expensive to just look at it.
It certainly wasn’t that the real estate agent was overcharging.
If Min-jun hadn’t won the lucky lottery, he wouldn’t have dared to do it.
However, now that I have enough energy, I could buy and move into a high-end apartment as much as I wanted.
84 pyong was 4.5 billion won.
Looking at the pictures and videos without a living, it seemed empty.
Overall, it looked spacious and luxurious.
Rather than buying and living in a 30-pyong apartment for 1.6 billion won, it would be much better to pay 4.5 billion won and live in a spacious 84-pyeong apartment.
“This property looks good, can I see it?”
“Mmm, it is possible to see.”
“Then I want you to go and see it right away.”
“Um, you do.”
The real estate agent picked up Minjun in his car and moved to the Tower Vivaldi Apartment in Dogok-dong.
It is a 50-story high-rise apartment, but the place for sale was the 45th floor.
“You don’t have to worry about the security system as the guardhouse is well equipped.”
“Hmm, it looks like that.”
“Yes, it is an expensive place, so the standard is high. Life will be very good.”
“I can’t wait to see what’s inside.”
“You can look forward to it.”
It was south-facing, so the sun came in, it was bright overall, and it was luxurious, spacious, and nice.
