Life is Easier If You're Handsome -
Chapter 165
Choi Seokho doesn’t know much about games.
Nor does he understand the intricacies of how the gaming ecosystem works.
However, he was well-versed in understanding business on a general level.
"...The price of Golden Resolution is 55,000 won."
And on the first day alone, it sold 50,000 copies.
"Roughly calculating... after deducting taxes and other fees...?"
Steam fees, corporate taxes, local income taxes, value-added tax.
After deducting everything here and there.
"...It made around 1.3 billion won in just one day?"
Moreover, upon further investigation, he learned that games generally sell the least on their first day.
It was only natural.
Businesses rarely do well the moment they open.
"So, roughly... even if it sells ten times more, that’s 13 billion?"
?!
Choi Seokho jumped to his feet.
"This... this is huge, isn’t it?"
If Golden Resolution turned out to be a massive hit,
Kim Donghu, as the largest investor, would naturally receive enormous dividends.
In other words—
"Donghu... can he actually see the future or something?"
Kim Donghu had essentially trusted his instincts and made a massive fortune in one go.
In fact, calling him the "largest investor" was an amusing understatement.
A 100% share.
While technically, Donghu’s personal assets and Veritas’ assets were mixed,
"Veritas practically is Donghu, anyway."
Even considering such complicated factors, it was an overwhelmingly profitable situation.
"But did they really make it that well?"
As Choi Seokho thought about Donghu’s ever-growing fortune, he decided to check what had made the game sell like wildfire.
Click.
The moment he scrolled down, the first thing he saw was the evaluation: "Overwhelmingly Positive."
"That must mean it’s incredible, right?"
Guessing the meaning of the words, he examined the reviews one by one.
Eventually, Seokho reached one conclusion.
"I guess I’ll have to try it to understand?"
That day.
"...Is my chick underperforming? Why is it dying to even the mobs?"
Choi Seokho realized how utterly talentless he was at gaming.

Late February.
Graduation at Daejong High School.
True to its name as the Korea Comprehensive Art High School,
Daejong High’s graduation ceremonies were known for their extreme extravagance.
Because of this, external filming requests were almost always approved without question.
One of the school’s roles was to maximize public exposure for its students.
"Wow, why are there more people every year at the graduation ceremony?"
"Well, the school consistently produces celebrities."
"Yeah, and not just any celebrities—there’s even a gold medalist."
Teachers clicked their tongues as they observed the crowds surrounding the school.
"It’s always idol performances or something flashy; it can’t be helped, really."
"Who’s coming this time?"
"Uh, let’s see... who was it? The one who just debuted with their first song?"
"Was it TriMax? There are so many idols these days, it’s hard to keep track."
The idea of someone at Daejong High forgetting idol names seemed absurd,
but coming from one of the rare traditional subject teachers, it was somewhat understandable.
As they watched the graduation ceremony preparations unfold,
when they finally had a moment of respite, the teachers broached the topic they really wanted to discuss.
"So, do you think he’ll come?"
"Who?"
"Oh, come on, you know who."
"Ah... Kim Donghu?"

The pride of Daejong High.
A living legend of the school.
Its greatest symbol and eternal idol.
...At least, that’s how he was publicly known.
"Would he even feel any attachment to the school... considering he barely attended?"
In reality, he had been nothing short of a delinquent.
His attendance rate was nearly 1:2 compared to his absences.
Graduating at all was a miracle, and it wouldn’t have been possible without his grades.
"With more absences than attendances, it’s unlikely he’d feel much attachment to the school."
"Right, but... the chairman was just too... too sympathetic."
The reason Kim Donghu managed to graduate without any controversy?
It was thanks to Chairman Edward Park’s bold interventions.
While the school did allow considerable flexibility for students with entertainment careers,
Donghu’s extreme absenteeism had been unprecedented.
It had sparked heated debates, with many advocating for his retention.
But every time,
"Adults should never block the path of a talented child."
"We mustn’t confuse means with ends."
"The school is just one of many places where education can occur."
"If a student can grow elsewhere, that too is an educational environment."
