Rolling an alter ego (2) Sang-
woo’s plan to go to the gym hit a snag from the start.
[Balance: 3623800 won]
The bank account balance is about 3.6 million won.
Of this, I had to exclude the tuition fee of 3.5 million won, so I actually only had about 100,000 won left.
Not to mention the gym registration fee, I am in a situation where I do not have enough living expenses right now.
How did I become so poor(?)?
In fact, his balance was originally about 4.5 million won, which was quite plentiful.
That’s how I spent a lot of money in the last few weeks.
‘Why am I so hungry these days?’
Not because of food.
As my body grew, I was constantly hungry, and that’s why I spent a lot of money on food.
“… I’ll have to save Alba as well.”
In fact, even if I don’t have a part-time job, I still make money.
Currently, the average monthly income from selling game items is about 1 to 1.5 million won.
But did you say it was the seventeen red flowers? As the game’s popularity waned, revenues from it continued to decline.
Originally, when Sang-woo’s profit decreased like this, he would stop playing and start a new game that made money.
But now I didn’t think so.
‘Because I have to develop a real character.’
Rather, it was to the point where I thought that I should save money even if I had a part-time job myself. Because I had to buy supplements and health medicines to help with physical growth.
A change came to his lazy personality.
‘I’m going to look into Nogada. I’ll be able to do physical training as well as money.’
Of course, he had no intention of continuing on his own until now.
It’s because it’s okay if you do it.
‘But I’ll have to do it a few times the first time…’
The alter ego isn’t all-powerful than I thought, so I couldn’t follow complicated commands well, so I had to imprint the command on the alter ego while working together for the first few times.
Therefore, this command imprint would be more and more necessary for complex work.
Sang-woo searched the Internet while thinking about future plans.
What he is looking for is a part-time job that requires physical labor.
Then he saw a job advertisement that caught his eye.

‘Because it’s Seoul, the area is close, and the first class is 100,000 won, so it’s tough. I have to go here.’
Sang-woo contacted the distribution center.
-This is the Ogong Logistics Center.
“I contacted you because you were looking for a part-time job for loading and unloading.”
– Oh, that’s right. There is no separate interview, so you can come out right away. When can you go to work?
“I’m thinking about going tomorrow.”
-Because we don’t have enough manpower… Are you not able to do it today?
“Um… you can.”
-Yes, then please come to the distribution center by 6:30 pm.
“Okay, I’ll see you then.”
After the call, Sang-woo tilted his head.
‘Aren’t there many people working?’
He had a bad feeling about it, but he thought it was good.
‘Anyway, the alter ego will work hard. I’ll have to boil some ramen and go.’
He then took out three bags of ramen and added water.
* * *
After eating heavily, Sang-woo summoned No. 1 and took a bus from the manpower station near his room to the Ohgong Logistics Center.
In the seat next to the bus he rode on, there was No. 1 wearing a mask and a hat pressed down.
It was a desperate measure that I came up with because I wanted to get only one serving of money just because I used the Clone Spirit skill.
‘It’s okay to say they’re twins, but it could be a headache for nothing.’
Eventually, the bus arrived at the distribution center.
One after another, men in shabby clothes got off the bus.
Sang-woo was the youngest among them.
It was the first time he had visited the distribution center since he was born, so everything was unfamiliar and amazing.
‘The building is bigger and more numerous than I thought. Where should I go?’
Contrary to what I thought it would be okay to simply follow the people, the disembarked workers scattered to their respective positions as if they knew what they were doing.
In the end, only Sang-woo and No. 1 were sitting hesitantly, unable to grasp the situation yet.
“Hey students. Are you here for the first time?”
A shabby-looking man in his 40s started talking to Sang-woo.
His tanned skin and dusty old mountaineering pants stood out.
“hello. This is the first time I have friends here.”
“That’s right. Then you should go to Joogi’s office first.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Sang-woo nodded and tried to turn his back.
“But for the first time, I’ll have them all load and unload…”
“Should they load and unload?”
“It’s about loading and unloading a courier. that’s the hardest Classification is easy.”
“Oh, I know that. I came here because I wanted to.”
“At first everyone said that. Then he probably runs away while eating.”
“haha. Do not worry.”
“Anyway, don’t run away. But the friend next to me is very quiet.”
“… He can’t speak normally.”
“Ah… Excuse me. My mouth is straight. I’m sorry. But I feel so sorry for the young man.”
“it’s okay. He’s kind of nice.”
It was Sang-woo who made No. 1 mute in an instant to prevent mishaps from being discovered that he and No. 1 had the same voice. I felt a little guilty.
‘I’m sorry, No. 1…’
Sang-woo and No. 1, who thanked the man, headed to the office.
Sang-woo simply wrote down his personal information to the management staff. No. 1 was not enough, so he sold the name of his best friend Gyeongdo.
Guilt came again.
‘I’m sorry, Kyung-do…’
After many twists and turns, I was able to move to the workshop.
There were numerous delivery boxes piled up like a mountain.
Boxes of various sizes and shapes and parcels wrapped in plastic.
It really piled up like a ‘mountain’.
“Today’s amount of work.”
The workshop manager talked to Sang-woo.
“… yes?”
“haha. It sounds like a lot, but it’s not a big deal if you actually do it. And if you load all of that, today’s work is over, so if you want to get off work quickly, do your best. Then start right away!”
The workshop manager patted Sang-woo and No. 1 on the shoulder to encourage them.
And hell began.
Along the rails, boxes are pushed in a row toward the cargo hold.
Then, the boxes are loaded onto the truck one by one from the bottom in order of heaviness.
But the boxes do not come in order of weight.
Some are light, some are heavy, and all kinds of boxes are loaded on rails in a jumbled mess.
Because of this, I had to load the box while using my head.
When I first picked up the box, it was lighter than I thought, so Sang-woo had the thought, ‘Can I do it?’
And then, less than 10 minutes later, I had to cancel it.
‘Courier. I’m arrogant…’
From a plastic bag as light as a piece of paper to a box weighing dozens of kilos.
As soon as I started moving those parcels one by one, the weight and fatigue gradually began to accumulate.
And hundreds of thousands of couriers began to overwhelm him like Hale.
My forearms and lower back ached as if they were about to break, and sweat dripped down my whole body like rain.
‘I woke up… why is it so hard?’
It was Sang-woo who had awakened but forgot that his abilities were ordinary people.
Finally, he couldn’t stand it, straightened his back for a while and looked around.
Others were also working, sweating profusely. Still, their faces didn’t look as hard as I thought. Most of these would have awakened too.
‘Have those people awakened their ability to carry heavy things? Are you strong?’
Sang-woo had such doubts, but if that was the case, he wouldn’t have been doing this kind of labor. I thought maybe there was a special know-how. Looking at it, they were continuing the series of processes of tossing, receiving, and loading parcels with minimal movement.
Sang-woo looked closely and said to No. 1, who was mechanically moving the parcel next to him.
“No. 1. do you see that? Just like the people next to me, I just need to load the heavy parcels one by one. Load the heavy stuff first and put the light stuff aside for a while. Understand?”
“yes.”
In fact, number 1 was already doing well. I was in the process of sorting the incoming parcels in order of weight, picking up the heavy ones first, and delivering them to the workers in the luggage compartment of the truck. The worker was the old man who told Sang-woo about the office earlier.
Despite sweating the same way, No. 1 never stopped and continued to carry the same cargo in the same motion. Maybe it’s because I’m weak, but I’m struggling to move heavy objects, but I never stop and move constantly, so I’m doing enough for one person.
“Ah, young man, you are doing well.”
Unknowingly, the man said while sending a truck full of courier and receiving the second truck.
No. 1, who worked hard, had a proud expression.
“haha. No. 1… No, Kyung-do works a little harder. Because he’s a tough kid.”
“okay? If you just support your skills, you’ll do really well. But don’t push yourself too hard, Kyeongdo student.”
A man who understood right away. His name was Jang Deok-cheol.
Contrary to the age he looked like in his 40s, he said he was in his 50s.
When Sang-woo surprised him by saying that he had a baby face, he laughed, saying that it was no joke when he was young, but this much when he is old.
And before long, the second truck was located on the rails.
Courier hell started again.
Sangwoo No. 1 started working hard.
carrying, carrying, and loading.
infinite repeat!
[Stamina increased by 0.001.]
[Stamina increased by 0.001.]
Then, a pleasant message came.
‘It’s what I expected, but the start from the first day is good.’
Is it because the skill level has increased? It was hard, but I was happy. Somehow, I felt like things were going a little better.
And in a short time, I came up with a trick (I started handing over the work to No. 1), so the work became a little easier.
Sang-woo spent that time chatting with Deok-cheol Jang.
“Where do you go to college?”
“I go to Kyungkook University.”
“Oh, isn’t that a prestigious university! You did some studying.”
Is Kyungkook University a prestigious university?
It’s Inseoul University, but Sang-woo tilted his head because the grade was a bit low.
“This is not a prestigious university.”
“To be humble. I will have no wish for my daughter to go to Kyungkook University. I have no wish. Ugh, who does the old woman look like…”
Jang Deok-cheol sighed deeply.
She seemed very worried about her daughter not being able to study.
“Don’t worry too much, Uncle. I was not good at studying either, but I entered Kyungkook University.”
“I didn’t study well, but I went in? Could you tell me a bit about that know-how?”
“yes? No, I got some qualifications and with that I went to the special screening…”
“Special screening! yes. There was a way.”
Jang Deok-cheol’s expression brightened.
It was a moment of great realization.
“Do you have any plans to try another part-time job?”
“Any other job? well.”
“Where is it? If you don’t mind using your body like this, how about tutoring for my daughter? I beg you.”
“yes?”
I didn’t even decide on a subject, and it’s all about tutoring.
Besides, isn’t it not that his skills have been verified?
Sang-woo tried to refuse because he had never taught anyone before.
Then I remembered my bank account balance.
‘I need money. No. 1 keeps doing this, and if I go to tutoring, the profit will be great, so let’s try it.’
After thinking for a while, Sang-woo asked Jang Deok-cheol again.
“Then do you teach all subjects in general?”
“That’s right. She is my daughter, but she really can’t study…”
“Um… how much will you pay?”
“How about 50,000 won per episode? Two hours at a time, maybe once or twice a week.”
50,000 won for 2 hours. It was not a bad condition in terms of hourly wage.
It was about that level even when talking about kids who are doing other part-time tutoring jobs in college.
“great.”
“haha. Thank you. I’ll talk to my daughter after work and get back to you. Could you give me your contact information later?”
“all right.”
It was so hesitant, but the part-time job tutoring was successful.
‘It’s a tutor… I’m sure it’ll work out somehow.’
Because I am very shy, I would never have done part-time tutoring in the past.
After gaining an alter ego, Sang-woo was changing little by little.
It’s because I have ‘confidence’.
And alter ego No. 1, the source of his confidence, silently moved the parcel.
[Health has risen by 0.001.]

Having obtained a job called tutoring and skills, the work continued until 4:00 in the morning.
