< DEP (2) >
“Yes? Ah yes!”
The female employee was a little taken aback.
That’s also the case, because Sang-woo was surprised to see the price tag for the first time, so he didn’t think Sang-woo had that much money.
Of course, if you look at this luxury store, you must have some financial power.
And most of all, the combined price of Sang-woo’s pants and shirt is over 10 million won.
Still, she didn’t forget her professionalism and responded with a sense of alertness.
“Yes, then I’ll remove the tag and help you pay.”
It is easier to process the payment if you scan the payment tag to pay first and then remove the tag, but we did not do that.
Among the customers who visit such a luxury store, there were people who did not endure such trivial inconveniences.
Therefore, the business policy was to pay after removing the tag, and there was no problem.
Of course, if I didn’t buy it, it would be a headache, but I could remove the tag and reattach it.
With slightly trembling hands, she removed the tag from Sang-woo’s clothes and scanned the price.
[₩11008000]
A whopping 11 million won.
It wasn’t a very surprising sales amount as I work in a luxury store, but it was definitely a large amount.
“I will help you pay. Shall I pay you in lump sum?”
“yes. Please do so.”
“yes.”
Sangwoo held out his left wrist.
A female employee scanning an identity bracelet to proceed with payment.
Information from the card application built into the bracelet appeared on the payment device.
───────────────
Card Name: Enlighten Gold Card. VIP Edition.
Card number: 5837-29**-****-****
Name: Jeong*woo
Payment amount: ₩11008000
───────────────
She was surprised to see the name on the card. .
‘Enlighten Gold Card?’
It was that famous gold card.
It is a card issued by the Enlighten Group, and it is comparable to the black card of American Express, which was famous as a card for the super-rich even before the cataclysm.
Is that why?
The card provided tremendous benefits, such as an unlimited limit and an airline ticket directly under the Enlighten Group for one person at an affiliated store to accumulate points at all affiliates.
Koreans even called it a human bone card because it was said to provide benefits by grinding people with a joke.
It goes without saying that the card subscription and issuance conditions are very strict.
Because of this, there were only rumors and very few people saw the real thing, but today she finally saw what she had only heard about in rumors for the first time.
‘Who the hell are you? Mr. Jung and so rich… Ah!’
It was only then that she remembered a man whose photo was occasionally posted on the news these days.
I mean Jung Sang-woo, the A-rank hunter who is said to be the hottest these days.
“Are you… Jung Sang-woo Hunter?”
Only then does the female employee realize Sang-woo’s true identity and ask him about it.
Sangwoo smiled shyly.
“Ha ha yes. you’re right.”
“That’s right. Somehow, I thought he was very handsome. Ho Ho.”
“Oh, thank you.”
“I’ve only seen it in pictures, but you look better in real life.”
“Ah no.”
“It’s real. Ho Ho. ah done Payment complete! Shall I wrap these clothes for you?”
The female employee asked with a more cheerful voice.
The clothes she pointed to were the clothes Sang-woo had originally worn.
Jeans and a T-shirt that are worn out and worn out.
Sangwoo shook his head.
“Please just throw it away. I need to buy some clothes soon.”
“all right. Oops, I have to give you a clothes certificate, but wait a minute!”
Because it is a luxury item, each piece of clothing has its own unique certificate.
She hurriedly searched the locker below and handed over a shopping bag.
There were two boxes in the shopping bag, and a post-it note attached to it for some reason.
Sang-woo took a quick look and threw the shopping bag into the sub-space.
The female employee was even more surprised to see the subspace open and swallow the shopping bag
.
“Oh, that’s amazing.”
“It is a skill. haha. Anyway, good buy. Sell a lot~”
After saying hello to her, Sang-woo left the store.
“yes! Please visit us again!”
Female staff who treat you kindly until the end.
She sighed as Sang-woo left.
‘Will I be contacted?’
She gave me a box of certificates and put a post-it on the side of the box.
There.
[Lee Hyun-jin 010-2333-XXXX]
It contained his contact information.
‘It would be really nice if you could contact me. Then it’s a complete life reversal.’
It’s highly likely that it won’t.
Can anyone prick an inedible persimmon?
A fun and happy imagination of being with Sang-woo was unfolding in her head.
While a woman is delusional like that.
Sang-woo went to the store where his younger sister and Woo-hyeon were.
They were still looking at clothes.
Sang-woo approached.
“It’s really been a month. When are you going to buy clothes?”
“It’s a surprise. when did you come uh? Did you buy clothes?”
“How are you? matches well? Woohyun-ah, how about me?”
“huh? Well… it suits you pretty well. It seems fine.”
“Oh, great. pretty. where did you buy it from?”
“There’s a men’s clothing store next door.”
“It’s fine there. Oppa, I will buy clothes there from now on.”
“Hey, it’s not that my clothes are good, it’s that I’m good, so my clothes look good on me.”
“Oh, what a pity.”
“You’re sober. Anyway, hurry up and buy some clothes. Aren’t you hungry? What are you doing that takes so long?”
“No, because Woohyun unnie didn’t like all the clothes I recommended, so…”
At that, Sangwoo looked at Woohyun.
“No, it’s pretty, but it wasn’t my style. Hmmm, the lights are a bit bright here.”
Woohyun makes excuses and suddenly acts different.
Sang-woo somehow seemed to understand that feeling.
‘Well, I wonder if a kid who used to wear only normal things can pull off things like silver hairtail pants. No, even if I digest it, it won’t suit my taste.’
Sang-woo, who noticed the situation, set out to solve it.
“hey.”
“Yes customer.”
“Can I recommend a suitable outfit for this guy?”
Just summoned the store clerk.
The staff laughed.
“Oh, you are pretty. yes. What concept do you want?”
“It’s a bit of a casual style. Like clothes that will be popular this summer.”
“Aha, there are clothes like that. Please follow me.”
After that, the staff started to coordinate in a casual style so as not to stand out.
‘I should have done this right away.’
Just like that, Woohyun changed into a style coordinated by the staff.
Wearing a T-shirt that clung to her hot pants, she didn’t seem to be the Woohyun that Sangwoo knew.
It was the first time she had worn such clothes, so she tried to cover up the exposed flesh.
The reason was the small scars on the limbs.
It was probably scars from his time as a porter under the Silvermoon Guild.
“Hmm… That sounds strange…”
Woohyun muttered in a confident voice.
Seeing this, Sang-woo deliberately praised it loudly.
“It’s okay, but what? That’s perfect.”
“that’s right. You are very pretty.”
However, when Sang-woo and Ji-woo praised him, their faces immediately flushed as if their spirits were lifted.
“really?”
“huh. Because it is. Just wear it and go.”
“is it so. sister. Let’s see the other clothes.”
“You stay still. The staff here knows the style. Please continue to recommend me.”
“Yes sir.”
Afterwards, the three of them started shopping while trying on this outfit for Woohyun.
Woohyun seemed to prefer long sleeves and long pants because he didn’t like the appearance of his scars, but maybe it was because his skin was fair, the style that showed off the look suited him well.
It was summer at the time, so there were a lot of clothes that were too revealing.
‘Your body is better than I thought. Is it about 168 cm tall? That’s small for a man, but big for a woman. That’s why style lives.’
Above all, the sky-blue one-piece style suited her well.
Because of that, I had a taste of seeing Woohyun dressed up prettily while shopping.
‘But when will this shopping end? There will be no end.’
But it took longer than expected.
After buying it, I needed other clothes that matched it, so I had to find out about it before buying it, and I needed other clothes or items that went well with it.
Eventually, Sang-woo became bored with shopping after following him around.
It seemed like it would take a long time.
Besides, Woohyun was also concentrating on shopping, as if he was excited about trying on clothes that matched him well.
So Sang-woo said,
“I went to the bathroom for a while. Look at your clothes.”
“huh.”
I left with the excuse of going to the bathroom.
Then.
[Sub-space]
I opened the sub-space and went in.
There was already an alter ego waiting there.
He quickly changed clothes by exchanging clothes with his alter ego.
The alter ego wearing the new clothes Sang-woo bought earlier.
In the subspace, when I put an extra ID bracelet on the alter ego for payment, the alter ego looked perfectly like Sangwoo.
‘Take care of the kids shopping on my behalf.’
Sang-woo was about to leave the shopping to his alter ego.
So the alter ego went back to the department store in place of Sang-woo.
Sang-woo was able to afford to roll his alter ego like that.
He returned home and dived onto the couch.
Swing-
Shopping wasn’t physically tiring, but I was mentally tired for some reason, but lying down like this made the world more comfortable.
“Ah, it’s comfortable.”
I lay on the sofa and thought.
An hour is good for shopping.
In the future, I will leave the shopping hell to my alter ego.
* * *
A gorgeous officetel where Kang Joon-young lives.
He was full of expectations.
It is because he obtained DEP-001 through Shin Jin-wook.
When I opened the small iron box containing the ampoules, I saw 10 ampoules and a dedicated syringe.
Shin Jin-wook negotiated seven million dollars for 10 ampoules and brought them.
Kang Jun-young lost almost 8 billion won in Hanwha alone, but it was not a big deal.
If you work hard for 1-2 years of that money, you can earn it again.
‘This is DEP.’
Kang Joon-young carefully lifted the ampoule and held it up to the light.
The emerald-colored liquid contained in a small glass bottle was scattered in the light and showed off its beauty.
Because of the movement of the light, it seemed to be alive.
‘It looks strange.’
After looking around for a while, he attached the ampoule to the dedicated syringe in the form of a gun according to the usage method.
Click-
Then, he slowly brought the syringe to his arm.
Gulp-
It was a tense moment even for him, no matter how B-ranked he was.
Then I remembered what Shin Jin-wook had said.
‘Junyoung. It is said that Tron is deliberately selling it privately by omitting the KFDA human harm confirmation procedure. Don’t use it, keep it. I’ll get some information from actual users and find out. If you still want to use it right away… then it’s not my responsibility.’
Shin Jin-wook said that he could not take responsibility.
Kang Joon-young has a comeback.
‘I’m not a three-year-old. I decide my life.’
even if it is risky.
Still, it was the same thing to worry about.
To become stronger by manipulating DNA.
Contrary to what Tron Corporation is talking about, if there are side effects, it may become non-human.
could have died
‘…or become stronger.’
However, the danger did not suppress Kang Jun-young’s desire to become stronger.
He stuck the needle of the syringe into his arm.
Fuuk-
And when he pressed the button, the liquid from the ampoule was pushed into Kang Jun-young’s arm through the syringe.
At the same time, I felt something spreading all over my body.
A completely different sensation than when simply receiving an injection.
The feeling that all the senses of the body are awakened.
yet.
Pounding-
The sound of his own heart resonated loudly in Kang Jun-young’s ears.
“Suck!”
Junyoung Kang dropped the syringe in his hand.
The hand holding the syringe stiffened and did not listen. Even if I tried to say
‘what what…’,
the words didn’t come out because my mouth and vocal chords were also hardened.
thump- thump-
and the sound of his heart gradually began to speed up.
My whole body stiffened.
Pounds-thumps-thumps-thumps-
and the pain began.
Extreme pain, as if every cell in the body was being torn apart.
The feeling of burning spread throughout my body.
and.
pound- pound- pound- pound- pound- pound- pound- pound- pound- pound- pound- pound- pound- pound- pound- pound- pound- pound- pound- pound- pound- pound- pound- pound- pound- pound- Pounds-pounding-pounding-pounding-pounding-pounding-pounding-pounding-pounding-pounding-pounding-pounding-pounding-pounding-heart-hearted-heart
.
‘…Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Kang Joon-yeong, unable to move his body and unable to scream out loud, screams inwardly.
As if the intraocular pressure had risen, his bulging eyes were bloodshot as if they were going to pop out.
That moment when it felt like my eyes were about to explode.
In the end, Kang Joon-young could not overcome the extreme pain and lost his mind.
‘…Knock it off.’
Two bulging eyes closed.
At the same time, a change occurred in Kang Jun-young’s body.
The organization of the copper-colored skin became solid in nano units, and the muscle fibers were twisted and became thicker and harder.
And bones also became harder as bone density increased, and their height and size gradually grew.
Thudduk-dududuk-pagagagak-
As
bones and joints were rearranged, a sound like bones being crushed emanated from the body.
Internal organs are also strengthened, and all metabolisms are rapidly activated.
In that way, Kang Joon-young obtained the strength he wanted.
also rapidly.
However, was it possible that some of the anxiety Kang Joon-young had before he was hit with DEP was correct?
Deep inside Kang Jun-young’s body.
There, the liquid contained in DEP-001, which was changing Kang Jun-young’s entire body, was moving as if it were alive and gathering in one place.
It’s like a virus that has life and microscopic microbes.
And those unknown grains moved through the blood and settled deep in Kang Jun-young’s brain.
