chapter 2
2 – Escape from the Unemployed (2)
Strictly speaking, Eugene was never a bad brain.
Of course, Eugene during his school days was never a student who could be called a model student.
She’s not that special, but that doesn’t mean she’s not that angular, she’s just an ordinary sophomore in high school.
But now Eugene is different.
In another world, Eugene learned how to breathe mana, put mana in his heart, and gained transcendental power far beyond ordinary humans.
And the mana breathing method not only gave Eugene’s body great strength, but also had a direct effect on his brain, so his memorization and understanding far surpassed those of his high school days.
For example, when trying to master complex swordsmanship or taijutsu, if he set his mind to it, he could master it all in less than an hour.
But that’s it and this is this.
I was able to memorize all the complex and bizarre swordsmanship with just one look, but why the hell did the contents of this damn textbook not come into my head?
Yujin has also tried to concentrate and study in his own way, but just sitting at his desk and looking at his textbook makes him drowsy.
Also, while Eugene disappeared for 5 years, how many things to see and play in this world have changed. Time flies by just playing with a smartphone for a little while.
It seemed that Eugene hadn’t done anything, but two months had passed before he knew it.
And Eugene couldn’t memorize even ten of the GED question books he bought two months ago.
“… I really hate studying.”
Yeah, no matter how much I thought about it, this wasn’t the case.
He never came back to Earth to live this gritty, boring life.
“…Should I just give up on my studies and find a job that I can do with my body?”
As can be seen from the fact that the time axes of the other world and this world are out of sync, the laws of this world and the earth are distinctly different.
In other words, it meant that all the power that Eugene had managed to build up over the past 20 years had become useless on Earth.
The moment he returned to Earth, the mana in his body disappeared without a trace.
“Well… that doesn’t mean I’m very broke.”
As a result of experimenting in various ways over the past two months, I learned that mana can be accumulated in his body through mana breathing even on Earth if he tries.
Of course, it will take at least several decades to regain the same level as before because a separate mana breathing method suitable for the Earth’s environment must be developed.
Also, the mana that existed in Eugene’s body had long since evaporated, but fortunately, his superhuman body, which had undergone a metamorphosis through mana breathing, remained intact.
If you take advantage of such physical ability to participate in the Olympics or fall into martial arts and participate in the UFC, you will be able to conquer the world in less than a year.
Even if it’s not that kind of field, if you go to the construction site and work, you’ll be able to do the job for at least 5 people, so you might be able to become a rising star in that field.
“Ehh, now I don’t even know.”
Since I thought about this and that, it became annoying to sit in front of my desk again.
As he sighs and gets up from his seat and goes out of the room, he feels his sister Winter, who was sitting on the sofa, staring blankly at him.
“Why? Do you have anything to say?”
“What… It’s nothing special, oppa, are you free right now?”
“Can’t you see that your brother is studying hard to prepare for the GED?”
At Eugene’s words, Winter snorted at her in a funny way.
“Studying until your head falls out is damned. Her mom and dad know it all. My brother is sitting at his desk in order to study, but he is not studying at all. In the first place, the book I bought two months ago didn’t have a single note on it. What kind of bullsh*t is that?”
“…..”
It’s all true, but after being subjected to factual violence in this way by her younger brother, Eugene felt as if her bones had been beaten.
“I’ve already given permission to my father and mother. It’s okay to use her brother to your heart’s content today. So it’s better not to talk nonsense and cooperate.”
It seemed that something dirty had come and gone from her back hole beforehand, regardless of Eugene’s free will.
“Can you help me with the broadcast?”
“A broadcast?”
At those words of winter, Yujin blinked her eyes.
She knew. She is his younger sister, Han-gyeol. She is currently a college student, but apart from him, she is doing Internet broadcasting as a side job.
The fact that they focus on content related to virtual reality games, and are earning quite decent pocket money based on their pretty smooth faces and considerable physicality.
It was a contrast in many ways to Eugene, who is 23 years old and receiving pocket money from his parents.
‘f*ck.’
Recalling the bitter reality in many ways, Yujin felt a bitter pain in her chest and opened her mouth in a brusque tone without realizing it.
“You’re going to shoot a broadcast related to virtual reality games again, right?”
“Yes.”
“But I’ve never played a virtual reality game before.”
That’s right.
Virtual reality games were commercialized to the public right after Eugene was kidnapped to another world.
To be more precise, the virtual reality game itself existed even when Eugene was a high school student.
However, virtual reality games at that time did not go beyond the category of ‘game’.
And now, 5 years later, virtual reality games have developed so much that they cannot even be compared to then.
It goes beyond the level of a simple game, to the extent that it is safe to say that it is another reality.
And since Eugene returned to Earth, he had not encountered advanced virtual reality games.
No, I couldn’t.
When I returned to Earth after rolling around in another world for the past 20 years, I forgot how to use my smartphone like a caveman.
“It’s okay. No, on the contrary, that’s why I need your brother’s help more.”
“Why?”
“That’s it… What’s inside your brother isn’t very useful, but at least the skin is smooth, right? Thank your parents for giving birth to you with that face.”
If we can get a decent clip related to Eugene during today’s broadcast, we might be able to target an influx of female viewers-
As Winter smiled without hiding any of her sinister thoughts, Eugene frowned at her.
He wants to just refuse Winter’s offer, but unfortunately he’s not in a position to do that right now.
Because if your parents gave permission for this, it would be as if Eugene didn’t have any free will.
In fact, sitting at her desk and looking at that dog-like GED workbook was a dizzying moment, so there was nothing she couldn’t do with Winter’s request.
Besides, when he was active as a hero in another world, he had experienced so many things that he was fed up with selling his face to an unspecified number of people, so there was no way he felt any pressure about it.
However, that was only an acceptance of the fact that he would appear on the winter broadcast itself.
If Winter dares to use his brother like the sky to make money, shouldn’t Eugene have a reasonable price?
“Couldn’t it be that you are telling your brother to do unpaid volunteer work with his bare mouth? I heard my dad and mom talking, but they said you were going to touch some money after you started broadcasting.”
“… Anyway, as in the past and now, calculations like this are like real knives.”
Gyeol pouted as if he was dissatisfied with something.
“100,000 Won.”
“Only 100,000 won? Is your love for your brother only that much? Would you like some more?”
“Instead of that, oppa can keep all the donation money that pops up during this broadcast. How about this?”
“… A donation?”
Eugene did not understand Winter’s words and blinked.
“If my show is interesting, it means that people will directly support my brother with money. What is that, like the star candy on the paprika broadcast in the past.”
“Aha.”
“So the basic money is 100,000 won, and the rest of the profit is up to my brother.”
At the end of winter, Eugene calculated something in his head and then nodded.
I don’t know about anything else, and the fact that the harder I work, the more I work on that winter day, the fact that my profit is going to drop drastically is definitely attractive.
And Winter also smiled heartily at Eugene, who accepted her conditions without hesitation.
‘I was prepared to spend up to 150,000 won, but I saved money.’
So Eugene and Winter giggled at each other, thinking that they were sitting on top of each other’s heads.
Without noticing what the results of today’s broadcast, which started without much thought, will be the result in the next few hours.
