Episode 3

[Web sender. Sehan Bank. Deposit 300,000 won.]

I was walking after leaving the officetel.

My phone vibrated, so I checked and there was a deposit message.

'This is crazy… This is crazy… What the heck…'

I couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. Even though I received a million won, I didn't trust the app completely without any doubt. A normal person wouldn't do that. Everything about the app was abnormal for that.

I was worried that they were going to throw away a million won in a big way and then slowly suck the money out by continuously asking me to do some kind of mission.

It was a very unlikely assumption, but from the beginning, when an app I had never heard of suddenly got installed on my phone and a million won was deposited into my account with just one touch, I had given up on the possibility.

However, when I saw the deposit message that came to mind once again, I had no choice but to admit it.

'This is real… It's a real Dorai app...'

I don't know how they knew that I had sex at an office and deposited the money right away.

No matter which app store I searched for, there was no app called 'The World is Money and Women', and even when I searched the Internet, there wasn't a single piece of information about such an app.

This app was a mystery in itself. There was really nothing I could know.

'So what? They just give me the money.'

However, it was certain that it was a crazy app that would send me the promised money right away if I just listened to them.

I checked my bank account again just in case. This was the third time.

Account: 1,507,945.

As expected, 300,000 won was deposited nicely.

I only had about 400,000 won until yesterday, but I earned 1.1 million won in one day.

Just a few touches, and sex with a pretty and kind older sister, and I made 1.1 million won!

I can't emphasize this enough. No, I wanted to scream like a crazy person on the street.

'I made money by having sex!!! You guys, I'm making money by having sex!!!'

Is sex just sex?

Mihee was the real deal among the sex workers.

The fact that she was an office girl was a bit of a flaw, but she had so many strengths that I didn't really care about that flaw.

Having ecstatic sex with a woman that most men wouldn't even talk to in their entire lives, and making 300,000 won. No matter how much I thought about it, it was a miracle that I couldn't believe.

'Hyun-ta? A swindler? Fuck them all!'

One day, one of my few friends told me a story about going to the office.

It was a typical experience of going to a bar and having fun, but then getting really dizzy and never going back.

But I didn't have any dizzy feelings at all. Rather, my heart was filled with joy. I wondered if this was how it would feel if I actually welcomed God.

No, no. Let's put God aside for a moment. From today on, the only god I would worship was the 'god of money and women.'

'Having sex and making money! Thank you so much. Loyalty! Loyalty!'

I got home and immediately launched the app.

My hands were itching to launch it outside, but if I did, a pickpocket would snatch my phone away, or a sinkhole would suddenly appear in front of me, and I wouldn't be able to properly protect my phone. It was a time when I could understand how a lottery winner would feel.

[Tutorial Quest -2]

The app has many useful functions.

The only price for the functions is money and women.

First, I will tell you how to use the money.

The [Appearance Enhancement] window will open.

Open the [Appearance Enhancement] window and enhance your appearance.

Reward: 2,000,000 won.

[Appearance Enhancement]

——

"Hey… No matter what, isn't this too much?"

While saying that, I moved my finger and touched the [Appearance Enhancement] button as instructed.

It was so unrealistic, but I couldn't help but feel anticipation rising inside my heart.

What exactly is appearance?

If money and women were everything in the world, then appearance was the majority of life.

Since a person is born as a human, they cannot help but be influenced by their innate aesthetic sense. Depending on how much their appearance can satisfy the aesthetic standards common in the human world, a person's life will change completely.

For example, when a man makes a dirty joke to a woman, if he's ugly, he'll get sued, but if he's handsome, he'll have a higher chance of sleeping with her.

Even if it goes too far, the fact that a handsome man is overwhelmingly less likely to get sued is a truth that no one can deny.

In any case, being handsome is absolutely great. In life, there's no other way to gain as much benefit as being handsome, except for money.

Some people say that the inside is more important than the outside, but that's really the most idiotic of idiots.

People with shitty looks have an overwhelming lack of opportunities to show others their insides, no matter how great their insides are.

People are scared by shitty looks and run away without even looking at their insides, so how can they show their shitty insides?

And if they live like that, any adult gentleman will end up suffering from a sense of entitlement and be crushed by depression.

In other words, if you have a shitty outside, there's a high chance that your insides will turn shitty as well. There was no vicious cycle like this.

In that sense, life was really shit. What kind of appearance you would have was determined from the moment you were born. There was absolutely no room for will or effort to intervene.

There was plastic surgery, but plastic surgery had to be done to some extent to be effective, and it was true that it was still difficult to match the natural good looks with plastic surgery.

So the level of appearance was set from the time of ovulation, fertilization, and implantation, so some people were born with +9 appearance enhancement, and some people were born with a ruined appearance because enhancement failed.

I was one of the ruined ones. It wasn't absolutely ruined to the point where it couldn't be restored, but it was halfway? Well, that's what I think.

Anyway, I lived without ever benefiting from my appearance.

But then suddenly, appearance enhancement?

——

[Appearance Enhancement]

You can pay to enhance your appearance.

Prices vary by part and level of enhancement.

Part selection - (eyes), (nose), (mouth), (height)…

Recommended part - (height)

——

A window for enhancing appearance popped up on the app.

It seemed like it had entered the full-scale enhancement stage, but I was still hesitant.

No matter how magical the app is, can it really enhance your appearance?

While feeling half-confident, my hand moved toward the (height) button that was listed as the recommended part.

It wasn't just beef, but it was categorized in detail by part, and since even the recommended part was listed separately, I felt more trustworthy for some reason.

——

(height)

170.2cm -> 173.2cm

Regular price: 30,000,000 won

Tutorial discount price: 1,000,000 won

Would you like to enhance it?

[Yes / No]

——

'Um…'

I've never spent a million won in one go in my life. I hesitated a little because it was such a large sum that it was burdensome to spend, but I eventually touched the [Yes] button.

Bam-.

'Whew. I guess I should just try it out, right?'

I was able to earn most of my current money thanks to this app anyway, and I've earned over a million won, so even if it were a scam, it wouldn't be a loss.

Besides, there was almost no chance that this app was a scam since I'd come this far. If they were going to scam me, they would have done it a long time ago. But it was still uncertain whether my appearance would really be enhanced…

[Web sender. Sehan Bank. Withdrawal 1,000,000 won.]

[Web sender. Sehan Bank. Deposit 2,000,000 won.]

As soon as I pressed the enhance button, a bank deposit/withdrawal message popped up.

A million won was withdrawn, and two million won was deposited again.

It was definitely not a scam.

"Good!"

I clenched my fist. I had earned a million won with one more touch.

Since I definitely got the money, I headed straight to the bathroom.

Honestly, I didn't think I could overcome my innate genes and grow taller with just a few touches.

And to grow taller, I had to have growing pains or muscle aches, but I still haven't felt anything.

As expected, I didn't feel like I had grown taller even when I looked in the bathroom mirror.

"Is it just a process to give money? If that's the case, I don't have to do this in such a cumbersome way… Heuk!!!"

I was mumbling to myself, when suddenly, a terrible pain surged through my chest.

"Ugh!! Fuck!! It hurts so bad!!!"

It literally hurt so bad.

Is this what happens when you get gout, which hurts even when the wind blows?

No, if gout was this painful, gout patients would have been wiped out long ago and wouldn't have passed on the gout gene to their descendants.

"Kuaaaaak!! Kuaaak!!!"

The pain kept coming.

I collapsed on the bathroom floor, curled up like a shrimp, and rolled around with my arms clasped tightly.

My body was hitting the toilet and the tiles, and my skin was being scraped, but the pain from the squeak was so severe that I couldn't really feel it.

It hurts. It hurts. It really hurts.

I live alone, so I didn't have anyone to ask for help.

I just collapsed on the floor, grabbed my knees, and rolled around.

I don't know how long I did that. The pain was so severe that I was dizzy, so I couldn't even sense the time.

Just when I was thinking, "I might really die like this?", the excruciating pain that felt like I was being pounded with a hammer and drilled with an electric drill disappeared in an instant as if it had been washed away.

"Huh… Heh…"

I gasped for a long time and barely managed to get up from the bathroom floor while drooling.

I swear to the god of money and women, it was the greatest pain in my life.

I wondered if it was true that people's minds would wander when faced with extreme pain, and it really was true.

I never dreamed that I would experience it myself. What the hell.

"Fuck… Height… Height… Height…"

Why did this pain suddenly come upon me? It wasn't hard to guess.

I paid a million won to make myself taller. And my neck hurt so much that it was about to fall apart. The connection was so clear.

My prediction that growing tall requires growing pains was right on target. Damn, that kind of thing doesn't have to be true.

"Damn… Really… Are you really tall?"

I looked in the mirror to check, but I couldn't tell. My eyes were blurry because I had been shedding tears just a moment ago.

Blink. Blink.

I tried to focus by closing and opening my eyes wide.

If it hurt this much, it wouldn't have been strange if I had really grown taller. No, I should have grown.

"Huh…?"

I focused and looked in the mirror. Then I opened my mouth wide.

"Really… Really grew?!!"

I could clearly feel it because I had grown 3cm, even if it was only 1 or 2cm.

Before, when I stood up straight in the bathroom mirror, I could only see my waistline, but now I could see the edge of my pelvis.

"Whew… Calm down… Calm down… "

My heart felt like it was going to burst out. I tried to calm myself down with my mouth, but it didn't have much effect. I just couldn't calm down.

Of course. I couldn't believe that I was really tall. I couldn't believe it.

It wasn't magic, or a cartoon, or a movie, or a drama.

It was reality. But it was unrealistic.

"Hoo… Hoooooo…"

I was so scared that my heart would burst that I desperately took a deep breath and picked up my phone that had fallen on the bathroom floor.

Now I was a little scared, but I couldn't stop after experiencing this.

With trembling fingers, I launched the 'The World is Money and Women' app.

A mysterious app with unrealistic abilities that I couldn't understand at all.
