Chapter 225 – Episode 25. Late-Night Commotion at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
This time, like yesterday at the Energy-Link Industrial Company factory, I was able to get the items without being attacked. Right now, I was checking items before going to the mansion.
First, I went to the laboratory of a failed military company called Fovcope and checked the items I had obtained.
◆Prototype Mithril Warhead Bullet Pack [Rare Consumables]
Mithril rifle bullet manufactured by Povkov. It was not commercialized because of its high price. Povkov lobbied hard to have mithril warheads adopted by the U.S. Military, but his financial situation deteriorated and he went bankrupt.
Since the discovery of mithril and its excellent performance, there have always been attempts to replace the lead warheads used until then. However, because it was very expensive and more difficult to produce than lead bullets, the attempt quickly disappeared. It would have been better to make protective gloves that could block lead bullets.
Obtained from the Povkov laboratory along with the mithril warhead was data to study the physical properties of mithril. In Megacorp’s youngest son, when this research data was studied together with a prototype mithril warhead, mithril-coated bullets were obtained as a research result, but I don’t know what will happen in this world now.
It may have been official in the game, but it won’t be that way once it becomes reality. Besides, I don’t have a research lab yet, so I can’t even try it yet.
First of all, it’s an item, so I took it, but I need to go back to Japan and find a good research lab to use it. Alternatively, you could outsource the work to Base Technology, but since BS Group’s control is still firmly established, there is still a problem in trusting and entrusting the work. We need to support Han Yu-kyung so that she can work hard and completely dominate the base technology.
Next was a circuit chip embedded in the lab warehouse of a company called Odin Technology. It was a body modification prototype control circuit chip. It was difficult to break in easily because Odin Technology was still in business, but the product I wanted was located in a warehouse in the most remote location where defective products were stored, so it was easy to break in. This warehouse was even easier as there were no permanent guards.
Odin Technology considered this circuit chip, which did not show the desired efficiency, as a defective product and put it away in the warehouse, but in fact, it was a chip that greatly increased the power of superpowers when used with an appropriate centipede spine.
In fact, the defect was correct. Because Odin Technology wanted a general body modification control circuit chip. This defective prototype control circuit chip was created by accidentally overlapping several things.
◆Odin Technology 0001 Prototype Control Circuit Chip [Epic Modification Parts]
Although it was created by mistake, Odin Technology happened to complete a component that amplifies the abilities of psychics. However, since no one knows about it, it has been abandoned.
The good thing about this circuit is that although it was made by Odin Technology, they did not apply for a patent because they thought it was a defective product. In the storage room where the circuit chips were, there was a USB stick with data and blueprints, so we could more easily absorb them with our technology.
Soon, an event will be held where superpowers will be revealed to the public, so business with superpowers will emerge as a new blue ocean.
When Megacorp’s youngest son was just holding an event in Korea, it was passed by as news or information, but an incident occurred in the United States and people with superpowers were revealed. I don’t know the details of the situation, but since I’m in the U.S., I should be careful not to get caught up.
I got a few more items while visiting factories around here, but they were all prototype guns or rare guns that had been discontinued, so they weren’t that useful. Just spray it on the Seryutai crew. Still, you will like them because they are PMC soldiers and have a certain sensibility.
I stopped by the New York branch of Amsang again, deposited all the items I had acquired this time, asked them to send them to Japan, and returned to the mansion. When we arrived, it seemed like it would be just in time for lunch.
“I’m home.”
“Oh~! “Ryuta, you still look handsome.”
Oliver Fitzgerald, who had been on a business trip, came back and greeted me with a warm pat on my shoulder.
“Hello, uncle.”
“Okay, since it’s lunch time, I guess we can eat together.”
When Oliver Fitzgerald and I went to the restaurant, we were all sitting at the table. Did you wait for me since the food wasn’t prepared?
“I’m a little late, sorry.”
“No, Ryuta. “It came just right.”
When I apologized for being late, Aris said no and that it was okay. I guess it just arrived at the right time. Chieri Mimata was still groaning, holding her temples as if she had a headache. If it were a normal drink, you should have recovered by now, but you’re probably paying the price of an increase in strength by 2.
Although Fitzgerald looked at me with strange eyes, he was sitting next to his husband, Oliver Fitzgerald, whom I had not seen in a long time, and was smiling and talking. Well, they seem like a nice looking lovebird couple.
“Hey, this is the best steak in New York.”
The butler smiled and placed a steak in front of each person. It was a fairly thick and well-cooked steak. I cut the steak with a knife and put the piece in my mouth.
Surely… It’s good! The outside was well-cooked to a dark brown color due to the Maillard reaction, and the medium-well-cooked inside was so soft that it would fall apart just by touching it with the tongue.
I was definitely angry because I said I ate at one of the top three steakhouses in New York. Because it was much more delicious than eating at the store. How dare you say that such a steakhouse is one of the top three in New York? That must have been the feeling.
“It’s the most delicious steak I’ve ever eaten.”
Hehe! Yes?”
The butler was very proud of my praise. Of course, the owners of the mansion, Oliver and Nae Fitzgerald, also shrugged their shoulders in good spirits. Since he was the owner of a mansion with a chef who made the best steaks, he must have been in a good mood.
“So, what are you going to do after lunch?”
“I’m going to give Ryuta a tour of New York.”
Oliver Fitzgerald asked Aris, and she answered as Aris sliced her steak. When I came to New York, I had only been to the slums of Amsangjibu and the Brooklyn Navy Yard, so I thought it would be fun. Above all, it was nice that I didn’t have to do anything. Since you said you would take us on a sightseeing tour, Aris must have planned a date course for you.
“Don’t go to dangerous places. “Chinese gangs are causing trouble these days, so be careful.”
“I understand, Dad. “Don’t worry, you won’t have to go to a dangerous place.”
It certainly seemed like the citizens of New York were sensitive because of the war between Kurotsuki Doh and Otagi Yuka. No matter how much of a vampire he is, it’s amazing that he can fight an entire branch of the Kurotsuki Dou by himself.
“I really enjoyed the meal!”
After finishing our meal, I, Mimata Chieri, and Aris sat at the tea table in front of the garden and enjoyed post-meal tea and a small cake.
“Senior, looking at your expression, I guess you’ll need to rest this afternoon as well?”
“Ugh, the drink was so strong yesterday that it still gives me a headache, right?”
Mimatachieri responded to my suggestion with a slight nod of her head. At the mention of her drinking, Aris, who was leisurely drinking black tea, looked at Chieri Mimata and opened her mouth.
“Did you two drink yesterday?”
“Not the two of you, just the senior. “I didn’t drink it.”
Well, we drank and had sex, but I didn’t ask about that, so I don’t have to answer.
“Chieri, I will take care of Ryuta today, so you can rest at home.”
“Ugh… It’s my favorite netorare situation, but I’m not happy because my head hurts…”
We got up from our seats, ignoring Chieri Mimata, who calmly made a strange comment in response to Aris saying that she would monopolize today. Aris, wait a minute! She did and she ran to the garage and drove off. The car Aris drove was the 9th generation Ford Mustang.
For a granddaughter of a wealthy family and daughter of an aristocratic family, this car is too frugal. Of course, I don’t drive a very expensive car either.
“My dad is very overprotective, so he bought me this car so I could drive around adding various safety features to an ordinary(?) Car.”
Ah, it looked like a Ford Mustang on the outside, but it seemed to be a vehicle with various modifications on the inside. He said that if he deliberately drove an expensive car, he could become a target of kidnapping, so he drove an ordinary car.
Taron, the Fitzgerald family’s company, was a company with considerable technological capabilities, so modifying a single car would not have been an easy task.
Aris got behind the wheel and I sat next to her. It reminds me of the old days. Even on her first date with Aris, Aris took the wheel and I sat next to her.
“It’s like a first date.”
“Did Ryuta think of that too? “Are we on the same page?”
Aris also looked slightly moved, as if she had just thought of that.
“Is there somewhere you want to go?”
“I don’t have a place in particular that I want to go to, but I want to stop by an antique store to buy souvenirs.”
In response to Aris’ question, I said that I wanted to stop by an antique store. When she showed him the location of an antique store with hidden items, Aris entered it into the navigation and set off straight away.
“Then let’s go to an antique store and then look around New York. “Let me introduce you!”
“Good.”
Running with New York’s skyscrapers in the background, we soon arrived at our destination. It was a store with a somewhat Cthulhu-world name, Old One, and was located in a rather gloomy-looking building made of black brick.
Naturally, Aris, whom I suspected to be the phantom thief François, quickly entered the antique shop with her eyes sparkling to look at her antiques, and I followed behind her, without hiding my suspicions.

Today, I am not able to make new illustrations due to my bad condition due to my ingrown nails, so I will share Han Yu-kyung’s 2.5D (semi-realistic model) practice illustration meme that I made previously.
I made it with several 2.5D models I received. What do you think?
