Chapter 180

“Oh, that’s…that’s…”
I was perplexed: how did my well-hidden bankbook end up in my mom’s hands?
‘Cleaning…? Did you?’
I noticed that the room was quite clean. It was probably found during a deep cleaning. He couldn’t have found his passbook otherwise.
“I only have 300 million in my bank account.
The good news is that the bankbook she’s holding contains the 300 million or so that she had mistakenly saved to pay off her debts.
“If you saw that passbook…
Ming Hu remembered his other passbook. After collecting 300 million, the bankbook containing the tens of billions he’d earned as a legend seemed to have gone undiscovered.
‘Thank God…’
Thank goodness. If it had been discovered, the fallout would have been devastating.
“What is that?”
When Ming Hu didn’t speak, his mother asked him. Her mother’s question made Ming Hu think about what he should say.
“Let’s tell the truth.
But he hadn’t done anything bad, and he hadn’t collected it with bad intentions. He didn’t feel the need to lie, so he told the truth.
“What? So you saved this money for that debt?”
Myung-hu’s mother, who had heard everything, looked at Tong-chang and Myung-hu in surprise, and exclaimed.
“Yeah.”
Ming Hu nodded at his mother’s reaction.
“…”
When Ming Hu nodded, his mother looked at him wordlessly, then nodded as if she understood, put the passbook down on the desk, and said, “I’m sorry.
“Got it.”
“…Huh?”
The reaction was so different from what she had expected, Ming Hu looked at her mother with a puzzled expression.
“Is that it?”
I didn’t expect things to end so simply.
“…?”
Ming Hu’s mother looked at him as if to ask what was wrong, and then opened her mouth to speak.
“But don’t spend it all, spend it sparingly, and let the delay bring you home sometime.”
Jumbled
With that, Myung-hoo’s mom left the room.
“…”
Ming Hu watched his mother’s back as she left the room, then shook his head, thinking.
“What is it?
Something was wrong. Ming Hu wondered if this was how it should have ended, but it was not how it should have ended. If she were her mother, it wouldn’t have ended like this.
Jumbled
Ming Hu walked over to his desk and picked up his passbook.
“Huh?”
When Ming Hu picked up the passbook, he was surprised to find that there wasn’t just one passbook on the desk. There were two passbooks on top of each other.
“Have you seen this… this passbook?”
The problem was the invisible passbook. It turned out to be Myung-hoo’s second passbook, the one he was lucky not to have found.
Sigh
Ming Hu opened his bankbook. As expected, there was more than 60 billion in the bank. After checking the bankbook, Ming Hu turned to the door.
“…”
I was so confused. I couldn’t think of anything. No, I had so many thoughts that I couldn’t think straight.
“…Come to think of it.
After pausing to cool his head, Ming Hu shook his head at the thought that suddenly flashed through his mind.
‘Has my family ever… Have we ever talked about money?
I didn’t. From the earliest age I can remember until now, we never talked about money.
‘When you bought me something. You never asked me the price.
He never asked me the price, just why I should buy it, and I bought it. That was the moment.
Titic
Ming Hu frowned at the pain and let out a pained groan as he felt something snap inside his head.
“Ugh, huh?”
But it was not long before the pain disappeared and a feeling of exhilaration took its place. At the height of this exhilaration, Ming Hu felt extremely tired.
whisk
Extremely tired, Ming Hu reflexively walked to his bed and lay down to sleep.

“Crazy…”
Kim frowned at the screen.
“What’s wrong?”
Jang Moo-yeol, who was sitting next to him, asked, and Kim Mu-woong relaxed his frown and looked at Jang Moo-yeol and said, “I’m sorry.
“Muyeol, it’s all over…”
“What?”
“Black code…”
“What?”
Zhang Muyeol looked surprised, and then opened his mouth to speak with a look of disbelief.
“What do you mean, there were still three left?”
Obviously, until yesterday, there were three black codes left, but suddenly, what does this mean? Hearing Jang Moo-yeol’s words, Kim Mu-woong sighed deeply and continued.
“I mean, they’ve been released back to back, like they’ve made a promise.”
“Isn’t that too fast?”
“Right.”
Kim Mu-woong nodded in response to Jang Moo-yeol’s words. Then he opened his mouth to speak with a look of regret.
“If only that hadn’t happened then… I could have reached out to these black code users.”
“…Ha-ha-ha.”
Jang Moo-yeol laughed awkwardly at Kim’s comment. He had once stolen information to contact a user who had mastered both the Black and Red Codes. It was a mistake that Jang Moo-yeol would take to his grave, and it was discovered by his boss, the man who was their mentor and the one who created 90% of their ‘legend.’ Since then, security has been tightened by his mentor, and the way to find out about users’ information has been blocked.
“At least you took a look at me. I thought I’d never see you again after the way you got so angry in Chapter.”
“Yeah. I thought it was my last day, too.”
At Jang Moo-yeol’s words, Kim Mu-woong nodded with a bitter smile. Then he turned his attention back to the screen and muttered.
“By the way, this is… I’ll have to report this to Master, won’t I?”
“Because you asked me to tell you.”
At that moment, Kim Mu-woong and Jang Moo-yeol looked at each other and opened their mouths at the same time, as if making a promise.
“You do it.”
“You do it.”
Kim Mu-woong and Jang Moo-yeol said the same thing to each other without a single toss-up. Having said the same thing, they began to converse with their eyes without words.
“Okay. I’ll do it.”
Eventually, Kim Mu Woong opened his mouth with a look of defeat and said, “I’ve lost. Jang Moo-yeol smiled at Kim Mu-woong’s words, and Kim Mu-woong picked up his cell phone and called his master.
“Ah, yes. Master, when I get the black code you mentioned earlier, I’ll tell you… Ah, yes. I’m on my way.”
After saying something, Kim Mu-woong hung up the phone. He looked at Jang Moo-yeol, who was smiling, and smiled widely.
“He wants you to come too.”
“…”
Jang Moo-yeol, who had been smiling at Kim Mu-woong’s words, quickly hardened.

The mansion of the Kaiser, lord of Surea.
“This is awesome.”
“This is awesome.”
“Awesome.”
In the Kaiser’s chamber, Demetos, Magan, and Dobrak, the Kaiser’s friends, are currently gathered around, talking.
“But… it’s a shame. It would be great if they were interchangeable.”
“Yeah, well, that’s a bit of a bummer.”
“I’m kind of… Bummer.”
Profit
It was then. The door opened and the Kaiser, the master of the room, entered.
“Hello!”
“Hello?”
When Kaiser walked in, he was greeted by three people who were already inside talking.
whisk
Entering the room, Kaiser sat down in his chair and opened his mouth to speak to the three who were watching him.
“I heard you got a special skill from your quest reward, I’m going to be so surprised, what is it?”
At Kaiser’s words, Magan, the largest of the group, smirked.
“Don’t be surprised to hear. I’ve gained the skill of being able to fake it.”
Kaiser shook his head at Magan’s words.
“Stupid? All of you?”
Kaiser asked, looking at the three of them in mild surprise. The three of them nodded in unison, and Kaiser continued.
“Well, it’s a little surprising. But not as amazing as you say it is.”
With that, the Kaiser smiled a sly smile.
“Hmph, I was expecting that reaction.”
“…?”
The Kaiser looked puzzled at Magan’s statement that he had anticipated his reaction. Then Demetos, who had been grinning from ear to ear beside Magan, spoke up.
“Hehe, I wouldn’t have said that if it was a normal stunt.”
When Demethes finished, Magan continued, as if waiting for him.
“I never thought this skill would exist. I still can’t believe the developers are crazy for making these skills. I’m even less sure that all three of us got them.”
When Magan trailed off, Demetos continued.
“Ten times.”
“…?”
The Kaiser looked at Demetrius as if to say, “What the hell does that mean?” and Demetrius smirked.
“Hehe, it increases your stats by 10x, and it’s a passive skill!”
“What?”
The Kaiser was taken aback by Demetrius’s words, and reflexively asked, “What?
“Not all Stets, of course… I have ten times the wisdom, and this one…”
Demetos trailed off and looked at Magan. Magan opened his mouth to speak as if he had been waiting.
“I’m 10x agile!”
Sigh
At Magan’s words, the Kaiser’s gaze turned to Dobrak, who had remained silent, not uttering a single word. Dobrak opened his mouth to speak as the three gazed upon him.
“…10x health.”
