While man in suit A, continued talking to his companion, he impatiently opened his phone to check.
"Still no orders from headquarters."
"Oh, still? Is it normal for him to suddenly regain his health? Is it normal for us to suddenly find out he owns an Aston Martin Vantage GT3? No offence, that's my dream car by the way. And there's also that abnormal sum of money in his bank account."
"Right, talking about that; the bank manager traced the source of the money, and it's clean. Apparently, SCP-0004 has learned to make money online during his free time."
"What kind of online work could make that much money?"
"Investments. Apparently, he opened an account through a Swiss-based bank and invests the money in it. Since he opened the investment account before we started watching him, we had no idea until now."
"Huh? Switzerland... He's definitely making money through investments. One hundred percent. I don't eat that shit."
"Who do you think we are? Even if banks in Switzerland don't keep records, questioning the bank manager responsible for his account is a piece of cake for the foundation."
"Come on. We already know this anomaly can manipulate luck. This kid hasn't been banned from any lottery outlets in the country for no reason. I still believe he's using his luck manipulation ability to make money gambling. Just imagine discovering one day that you possess such a unique power, what would you do?"
"I'd invest. Ever since last month, when the lab geek at HQ reported that every good thing happening to him was matched by an equally bad occurrence, his threat level was downgraded to Class E. The main reason we were watching him 7 days and 24 hours was that he was one of the first SCPs officially handled. He's probably realized this himself after all this time, assuming he's not stupid. Investing brings far more profit than gambling. At least a hundred times more. That way, he can avoid facing too much backlash."
"So, the luckier he is, the unluckier he might be... But what if he gets extremely lucky and a massive meteor falls on him as a backlash from accumulated good luck? A giant meteor could easily destroy a city."
"That's exactly why we're here, right? If he goes through abnormally lucky days, we can implement emergency measures in time."
"Remember the girl at the police station?"
"Yes."
"And you know she's quite hot."
"And?"
"And equally sweet and very naive."
"What about it?"
"Looks like she might end up as a toy for Leo now."
"It's just a dinner."
"That's why you're forty and single... Okay, okay, sorry. AHHHH, my arm's going to break."
"Even if that were true, so what? At least 10% of men in the world have girlfriends during university. It's not a big deal. Besides, I've told you countless times not to call SCP-0004 by name."
"Forget the name. I'm still not convinced. That girl is insanely cute, insanely dumb, and insanely sexy—she's about to fall into that kid's hands. My instincts are screaming at me to save that adorable girl. What a terrible fate for a woman cop with flawless skin like a doll who serves her country diligently... Huff."
"Don't dramatize. Even though I haven't experienced it before, I'm not blind. After SCP-0004 healed, he had naturally white eyes and naturally healthy white skin. He has a uniquely attractive appearance in the world."
"Owww. Now I get it. So the reason Mr. Steven has been single all this time is because he prefers men... no wait, he prefers anomalies over women."
When Steven heard the words of man in black B, who was 15 years younger than him, he turned angrily, but man in black B was already using the stairs to descend from the roof of the building.
"I'm going to get something for breakfast, Mr. Steven. As the solo guard, you absolutely must not take your eyes off the target."
"Damn it, Noah!"
...
Meanwhile, Leo ordered food on his phone for himself and his cat, from the nearest neighborhood burger place.
While waiting for the food, Leo opened his laptop and started searching for a place to open a market.
At that moment, he remembered the university exams.
Almost all the questions in this year's exam were multiple-choice. The total point value of the non-multiple-choice questions was only 40 points.
Of course, Leo was very proficient in English since it was his former native language, and the non-multiple-choice English questions were worth about 20 points.
This meant that Leo's exam score should be at least 475 points and at most around 485 points.
After calculating his score, Leo turned his head to share his joy with the white little cat trapped in the basket.
"Damn, kitty, you see that? Do you know where you could go with such a high score? Forget the top universities in South Korea, you could even go to North Korea if you want!"
After playing with his cat for a while longer, Leo searched online for rental market listings in Seoul from his laptop.
The university exam results would take another 1 or 2 weeks to be released. After the results are out, the university application process and the start of classes could take at least another 4 or 5 months.
Leo intended to apply specifically to Seoul National University because the main character of the webtoon -he had read before transmigration- attended that university from the very start of the story.
Leo wasn't particularly interested in following a romantic webtoon closely, but he was curious about certain things.
For example, how strong had Kang Min-ho -the main character of that world- become since he was trained by his father like a soldier from childhood?
Of course, Leo didn't have high expectations regarding this. The main reason he wanted to get close to the story's main character was to charge his system.
After all, Kang Min-ho was the main character of this world, and probably constantly experienced events related to good luck from the beginning.
