In the car going to Seoul.
Sang-woo was on his way to Seoul with his alter ego 2 3 11.
It is none other than Number 2 that is driving.

[Regeneration has increased by 0.001.]
[Muscle has increased by 0.001.]
[Stamina has increased by 0.001.]
[Regeneration has increased by 0.001.]
…
My stats continued to rise.
To the extent that the message window is noisy.
Meanwhile, Sang-woo was sitting in the back seat doing something.
His field of vision now focused on two places.
One is Sang-woo’s body looking into the car.
The other was the view of No. 2, who was driving.
The reason why I was able to see by dividing my field of vision into two was because the function of the Familiar skill had become stronger.
───────────────
[Familiar/Caster (Lv.17)]: Shares the senses of the target subjugated object. Depending on the level, the sensitivity range increases.
-Current casting range: 17km
-Multitasking is possible.
-Maximum number of connections: 1
───────────────
‘It’s important for me to become stronger, but I have to properly play the role of a command tower to control my alter ego.’
Since the familiar skill increases the distance by 1km per level, taking level 100 increases the range to 100km, which would be very useful.
So Sang-woo worked hard on his familiar skills whenever he had time for the past 6 months.
As a result, despite being a familiar skill that cannot be helped by an alter ego, it has achieved quite steep growth.
It was an achievement achieved only by Sang-woo’s strength.
And when the Familiar skill that was developed in that way reached level 10, an additional function called ‘multitasking’ was opened.
Now, while using the Familiar skill all the time, he was able to do other things.
Because of this, Sang-woo was doing other things at the same time while using the skill to raise the proficiency of the familiar skill.
The dagger in Sang-woo’s right hand hummed.
‘Um… Thinking of the sword as an extension of the hand… Spread the mana thin so that it doesn’t break…’
He was practicing to learn a skill called ‘Sword Skill’ or ‘Auror’ among Hunters.
However, there was no sign of success at all.
‘If I succeed once, I just need to make an alter ego.’
That one time was so difficult.
Still, Sang-woo did not give up and kept going.
That was when I was practicing.
Zi Ying-
The goggles hanging on my ears sounded a weak vibration notification.
A message came.
“check.”
Then, a hologram unfolded from the goggles and a message from Sang-woo appeared.
-[Wensu]: Buy chicken when your brother comes
-[Wensu]: You know boneless, right?
It was a message from his younger sister, Ji-woo.
Sangwoo sighed deeply.
-[Shark]: Omg One?
-[Wensu]: Nn The three
Sangwoos decided to stop by a chicken restaurant before going to the hospital.

The mana accumulation room where Jiwoo is.
It was a single room occupied by Ji-woo, who had regained some stability.
Jiwoo and a group of female students in school uniform were gathered there.
click.
The girls huddled together around the lying Jiwoo and took selfies as a group.
“Look at the picture. Did it turn out well?”
“huh. pretty lol.”
“I’ll post it on my Instagram.”
Jiwoo tapped his smartphone twice and uploaded the photo to social media.

“Yayaya, please like it quickly.”
“Take care, bitch. Gidul.”
In fact, Ji-woo had been confined to a hospital room for nearly half a year.
Because of the MA virus, environments with low mana density were dangerous.
At first, I felt despair as if my life was about to end at the fact that I had contracted a virus that had no cure.
Besides, the only possibility is a 500 billion elixir.
Since the price was unimaginable, Ji-woo spent days of frustration and sadness.
But what?
After a few days, Ji-woo quickly adapted to the situation.
The hospital room wasn’t bad either!
The reason is the smartphone.
Jiwoo, a smartphone addict, was depressed, but laughed out loud just by watching funny videos on YouTube.
Of course, the doctor saw this and said,
“It’s an early symptom of manic depression.”
I gave my opinion, though.
Because of this, the family members who believed in this had no choice but to pay more attention to what Ji-woo asked for.
However, erasing had nothing to do with it.
‘Actually, living like this isn’t bad. My back is warm and I’m full.’
He didn’t even want a 500 billion elixir.
I thought that since my brother, a hunter, made a lot of money anyway, he would somehow manage to cover the hospital bills that cost tens of thousands of won every month.
When I realized that there was no major obstacle to my life, the moth started to ache.
So, at first, I used a multi-person room to have my own space, but my brother coerced me to move it to a single room. Later, I brought my laptop and smartphone, and after that, I called my friends to play.
Above all, I did not realize that time was passing even if I used social media in the internet world all day long.
It was Ji-woo who was well suited to the secluded life.
Because of this, she was fully satisfied with her life.
“But Jiwooya, what about chicken?”
“I’ll be back in a little while.”
Then the door to the hospital room opened.
“Oh, it’s chicken!”
At those words, everyone who was looking at their smartphones turned to the entrance of the hospital room.
The people who rushed in were Sang-woo and his alter egos holding chicken.
As he walked, his tall stature and muscles that could not be covered even with ordinary clothes wriggled.
“Hello, brother.”
“Oh hello. But my friends were with me. hi.”
Sangwoo smiled and said hello.
Her big eyes drew an arc and her smile struck the hearts of the girls.
‘Hell, he’s a handsome man!’
The female students shyly said hello.
“Oh hello. Brother.”
“Are you Jiwoo’s brother?”
“Oh yes. no. What are you doing with him? 500 billion won number.”
“What’s wrong! Have you ever seen such a cute guy?”
Jiwoo opened her mouth and pretended to be cute.
“Pick up the judang. Before the Juktaeng hits.”
Sang-woo shook his fist and threatened.
Seeing this, Ji-woo’s friends giggled.
“Hehe oppa, you’re so funny.”
“It’s funny… I mean it.”
“It’s a joke too. Ho ho ho.”
When Ji-woo’s friend trembled and laughed, Ji-woo was dumbfounded.
“Hey Kim Hyewon. Why are you laughing in an acting tone?”
“What am I? Do I always smile like this?”
It was the girls who were bickering.
Sang-woo stopped them and put down the chicken.
“Stop fighting and let’s eat chicken.”
“that’s right. But oppa, why are you so late?”
Sang-woo frowned at Ji-woo’s bruising.
“Did you just order it?”
“Ah, the hospital doesn’t let you eat! I’m going to die of annoyance.”
“The hospital was very considerate of you because you were afraid you would become a pig. Be grateful.”
“What is a pig?”
“Have you ever seen a pig that looks this good?”
Sang-woo deliberately raised his arm and showed his biceps.
His body was covered by a long-sleeved T-shirt, but his biceps protruded through the T-shirt.
‘Wow… look at the muscles.’
Just as the girls were admiring it, Ji-woo came down from the bed.
Ji-woo, who only wears a patient’s uniform, is no different from a normal person in the mana-accumulating patient room.
Because the IV didn’t fit, so there was nothing to get in the way, so I immediately clung to Sang-woo’s arm.
“Oh oh-! Oppa is strong!”
“really? Oppa, can I hang on to you too?”
“uh? huh. okay.”
Sang-woo stretched out the rest of his arm and stretched it out to the side.
Ji-woo’s friend clinging to the end of that arm.
But Sang-woo’s arm didn’t even shake.
“and-! It’s like a real iron pillar.”
“I want to try it too.”
It was an unexpected ride time in the hospital room.
Ji-woo and his friends came down after playing around like that.
Sang-woo grumbled.
“Ha Ji-woo. lose some weight It really looks like you weigh over a ton.”
“Leave behind.”
Jiwoo came down from his arm and punched him with his fist.
“Jiwoo, does your arm hurt too? I think it’s cotton, not fist.”
“Ugh it’s frustrating!”
Jiwoo puckered at Sangwoo, but Sangwoo only tickled him.
While fooling around like that, Ji-woo’s friends asked Sang-woo.
“Brother, why don’t the other brothers talk?”
“that’s right. Are you quadruplets?”
Jisoo giggled at those words.
“it’s not that. They’re not my brother. They are clones.”
“An alter ego?”
“huh. He’s my older brother, Hunter. The ability is the ability to create an alter ego.”
“Wow!”
“Really?”
“that’s right. These are my alter egos.”
curious friends.
Sang-woo, who ate chicken and took pictures with the clones while talking about Hunter, left the hospital with the clones.
Now I had to stop by the house to see my parents.
‘Thank you for staying bright. Jeong Ji-woo.’
And the picture of Sang-woo taken with Ji-woo was uploaded to Ji-woo’s SNS account.

Until then, I hadn’t imagined how much ripple effect that one erased photo would bring.
In a good way.
* * *
An apartment complex 10 minutes away by car from the hospital where Jiwoo is admitted.
Sang-woo’s car stopped there.
It was a 20-story residential-commercial complex, but the basement floor, which was built solidly in the form of a bunker, was more expensive than the high floor.
Because it was safer than the ground against monster invasion.
And since the resident guards were E-class hunters, the security was considerable, so people preferred the apartment.
Of course, the market price is a bit high, and the management fee is expensive.
The number of floors in the apartment where Sang-woo’s family lives is underground.
“Mom, I’m here.”
When Sang-woo opened the door and entered the house, Mrs. Lee Ae-sook and Agent Kang Jun-mo came out from the living room.
“Is your son here?”
“Hunter is here.”
“hello.”
In fact, I was visiting Kang Jun-mo to meet my parents and discuss tax issues.
It’s May soon, so I have to file my tax return.
As he headed to the sofa in the living room, Sang-woo was annoyed at his mother.
“Mom, I’ll attach an alter ego.”
“it’s okay. Mom is fine, so take that time and earn more money with your alter ego. I need to find a cure for Jiwoo.”
“No, but then, like last time, if a monster comes in…
”
Sitting on the sofa, Kang Jun-mo noticed and handed out the documents to Sang-woo.
“I showed it to my mother, and here are the past sales.”
“thank you.”
The quarrel between the two hats was over.
Looking at the documents full of complex numbers, Sang-woo frowned.
“Um… that’s difficult. How do you see it?”
“If you look here, last year’s sales are 3.3 billion.”
It was the profit earned from hunting and the contract money earned from the contract with the Kenus Guild.
And Sang-woo spent most of that money on hospital bills, house purchases, jewels and skills.
“Since I spent a significant part of my income again, I think I can get some income deduction. You should check with your tax advisor for details. The problem is this year.”
Junmo Kang sighed.
“The profit earned this year is about 14.9 billion won for 4 months.”
It was in November that Sang-woo acquired the monster-sucking skill.
Since then, he has been working hard on hunting monsters with his clones, but it was January that he started hunting trolls in earnest.
The number of trolls Sang-woo hunted was a few at first, then dozens later, and then hundreds a day.
It was to the point where the monster collection team couldn’t collect all the corpses.
Even though Sang-woo collected and sold only a portion of the trolls he caught in a day, the trolls were so expensive that he recently earned 200 to 300 million won a day.
So, it was from February that profits began to increase significantly, and the money I earned was approaching 15 billion before I knew it.
“Looking at the current momentum, you will probably earn more than 50 to 60 billion this year, but even taking into account the C-class hunter tax savings, only the tax is 30%. But as you know, if you just save money, you get hit by a tax bomb…”
What Kang Jun-mo said was simple.
It was said that since I earned it, let’s spend some money.
“great. I need to spend some money now. Then let’s go shopping soon.”
“Shopping is fine. But what do you want to buy…?”
“What does Hunter have to buy?”
Sangwoo smiled.
“I need to buy a skill or an item.”
