Chapter 491 – 491. Nineteenth Skill 1
The safest place I think. I return to my house and check my skills.
But actually, if you think about it, this place isn’t that safe either.
It’s a place that someone like me can find just by passing by, right? It was a safe place only in the days when there were no passives… Not now.
Of course, it would be less dangerous since both I and Seung Mi-se-an and the four women have become stronger, but just being discovered feels bad.
I guess I’ll have to look into other places soon. Anyway, that’s not important.
There will only be one new skill anyway. Swipe down the skill window to find a new skill.
First, shoot all the passive skills you see.
Skill radius increased 13, skill duration increased 13, skill maximum value increased 7, skill limit exceeded 7.
16.6 million disappeared in an instant. Wow. It’s burdensome. Since I had 40 million coins, the burden was less.
Even so, 16.6 million is not a small amount.
Since the passive effect is good, I can take the picture without complaint. If the effect wasn’t so good, I would have felt a little sick every time I took the picture.
Passive is okay… Now let’s look for skills. Surprisingly, I was able to find it quickly. Because the name is similar to the skill that came out last time.
Seeds of distrust.
That’s funny. Do you think doubt is followed by disbelief? It feels somewhat similar… Have you become a little stronger?
If suspicion is a persistent thing, then disbelief means not believing, right? Hmm. If this is the case, then of course Seed of Doubt is a prerequisite skill, right?
[The ‘Seed of Distrust’ skill cannot be learned because the ‘Seed of Doubt’ skill has not been learned.]
That’s right too. I roughly understood it. Suspicion followed by disbelief. So is there a next time? What is there? Hmm… I can’t think of anything else.
But since it is a skill at such a high tier, the effect should be good. I’m curious.
Why is it a higher tier than a skill that kills directly? Does this mean there is a greater effect?
Anyway, for now it’s just a pie in the sky.
I’m worried, but it’s not a skill I want to try, so I stick to my plan.
Memory manipulation. Tier 15 skills.
I have fully experienced the good points of the memory tree skill, so this skill will not disappoint.
It’s permanent hypnosis, right? There is no need for a smartphone app or anything like that. Besides, it doesn’t work out.
But that’s a little disappointing. The key to hypnosis is to be relaxed.
But, it doesn’t matter because you can replace that with fascination anyway.
Learn skills right away. A skill worth 300,000 won. Now, 300,000 is ridiculous. It’s not that burdensome.
I just paid 16.6 million in passive cost, but it’s about 300,000… Aegyoji.
I learned the skill right away. I also want to learn some skills that I don’t have skill skills with. There is no chance.
Memory manipulation posted in the skill window. Good. If you learned it, should you use it? I went out right away and went to Suwon.
I have a lot of women I can use as samples, right? Ko Seong-yeon, Choi Shin-young, and Olga.
Ah. Olga should not be used as a sample. Because he shouldn’t mess with his memories.
First, it is important to increase your understanding of the skill by using it as much as you can on Seongyeon and Shinyoung.
We only have an abstract idea of how it will work, but we don’t know how it actually works.
Daeho Group’s secret bunker in the basement of Suwon Airfield.
I appeared from a corner of the lobby and immediately turned on detection. Seongyeon is not exercising for some reason.
When I looked through the lens to see what he was doing, he looked confused and was thinking about something.
Hmm. It’s worth it.
From Seongyeon’s perspective, she woke up like any other day, but there was no one in the bunker and the entrance was all blocked.
You must be trying hard to guess what the current situation is, right? Go straight into Seongyeon’s room.
Since I’m using reflection, it doesn’t matter if they attack me like this.
Besides, it will be erased anyway. I can do whatever I want, right?
“What!? What are you!?”
Seongyeon shouts angrily. Umm. That’s a good response. It’s thrilling. I want to enjoy it a little more, but for now, testing new skills comes first.
It’s nullification and sleep. Move Seongyeon, who has fallen asleep, to bed.
Good. Go Seong-yeon is done.
Go back to Seoul and head to the main bunker. After putting Shinyoung to sleep and holding her in his arms, he opened the gate and crossed into Suwon.
He dressed her naked and placed her on her bed. Good. Choi Young is also available. So, shall we try using the skill now?
Come to her Seongyeon’s room and use her skills on her while she is sleeping.
“Memory manipulation.”
Ruler. What kind of method is it? I’ve always been curious about manipulating memories.
Human memory isn’t that funny.
Reading and erasing memories is actually not that difficult. All you have to do is show the existing memories and delete them.
But this is different. It’s about changing what exists, right? Plus the most important thing. What I’m most curious about is whether it is possible to create something that doesn’t exist.
That is also the most important.
Creating something from nothing… Because it’s huge.
A state that is not much different from memory reading. But I don’t know how to do it.
First, I try everything I can. It’s a skill without any explanation, but I’m used to it now.
After trying all kinds of things for a while, I think I figured out a little bit about how it works.
A way to manipulate existing memories. This is not that difficult.
I woke up Seongyeon. Then I took her machete in her hand and put her back to sleep.
The image of me holding a machete remained in her memory.
I turned it into a gun. The method wasn’t that difficult.
It wasn’t much different from writing AI programs that were popular at one time.
Just thinking about turning a machete into a gun automatically turns the machete into a gun. Quite convenient operation.
It’s really nice not having to speak or type.
But the shape of the gun is a little strange. The shape of the gun is quite blocky.
Is it because it’s based on my memory? Or is it based on this woman’s memories?
Anyway, all I know is air rifles. You’ve never even touched a real gun.
Switch to something other than a gun. Hmm… Kitchen knife. Good. Let’s change to a kitchen knife.
The memory of switching to a kitchen knife was natural and not vague. Hmm. Good. This is enough.
Is this what happened? Do you think it’s done? It’s not that difficult to change things. So, shall we try something more complicated?
Memory manipulation is fun, but difficult. First, there are too many things to do. It is quite difficult to touch everything one by one.
Is this why video editing is difficult? No. Should I think of this as CG processing rather than video editing?
Anyway, I’ll give it a try. A labor-intensive task. However, the effect is not certain. Besides, if it’s really weird, you can just delete it.
After testing it by waking it up and putting it to sleep a few more times, I quickly got used to changing existing memories.
It takes a long time, but it is not very difficult.
Now the most important thing. I need to work on creating memories that don’t exist.
Based on what I’ve done so far, it’s quite possible to create new memories.
However, it just takes much longer than changing existing memories.
Let’s keep it short for now.
Seongyeon’s memories were erased cleanly after she killed everyone here in the bunker.
I draw new memories on that white canvas.
The first memory I created was Seongyeon falling in love with me.
Creating the memory itself wasn’t difficult. Because I’ve seen a lot of women who are fascinated.
But it failed miserably. I guess human memory isn’t that fragile after all.
As soon as she wakes up, Seongyeon looks at me and grabs her head.
Okay. I was wrong. How can a person fall in love so easily after looking at another person?
Moreover, this woman is a married woman who also has a husband, and her head is full of thoughts of children.
It doesn’t make sense for you to suddenly fall in love with me. I was stupid.
This time, I put a little effort into creating a memory. Let’s build up a bit and create memories of becoming closer to each other step by step.
But it still doesn’t work. It’s not that easy to suddenly create a liking that wasn’t there before. I expected it to be memory manipulation, but it’s not that easy.
In the end, we decided to compromise to the extent of favor by making significant concessions.
Moreover, the more memories you create, the more often they don’t work properly.
Simply, simply.
It would be better to do the bare minimum of memory manipulation and get to know the rest naturally in reality.
Memories of that day. Just made a new one.
Memories of the day I stormed in and killed the entire Choi family. I already deleted it, but it wasn’t difficult to create a new one for memory manipulation.
Because I remembered something, and I also saw Seongyeon’s memories last time.
The memory is created again in a way that is almost like the truth. However, I am not the intruder. I roughly made it into a masked man.
My role is to stop the masked gunman. And at the end, it was made into a memory where Seongyeon fainted from an unknown strike from a stranger.
Good. It’s a memory I put a lot of effort into, so please don’t have any problems.
I looked at the clock, and it was already evening. Has it already been this long? It takes a really long time.
I hope it goes well as it took so long. Ruler. Should I wake you up now?
I used Phase Out right away.
Seongyeon waking up from sleep.
Her Phase Out It’s a bit like how I feel when I see her in her world.
A mad scientist who powers his inventions?
In the Phase Out world, she mutters to herself, ‘Please don’t tell me your head hurts.’
I open my eyes and slightly raise my body. And then he grabs her head.
Ah. Is it a failure? Fuck. It’s really not easy.
But the reaction is a little different. If you fail, your head will hurt so much that you will have to curl up.
But now Seongyeon is just putting her hand on her head.
Is it okay? Did it happen? Please be okay! Repair yourself! Brain! You can do it!
Seongyeon, who had touched her head, lowered her hand again and narrowed her eyes.
Luckily she got over her headache. Oh, oh. If so, you’re halfway to success!
This is enough. Anyway, it means that the skill worked.
Seongyeon fully awakens. And she sits still and thinks about something.
Maybe she’s thinking about her own situation?
After sitting like that for a while, she got up, looked around her room, and carefully walked out of the room.
Follow her through her wall.
After looking around, Seong-yeon approached Chairman Choi’s room and knocked on the room.
What are you doing? You know he’s dead, right?
Of course there will be no reaction. Still, she waits quietly and gently opens the door.
After confirming that there was no one inside her, she walked around the room one after another.
And Shinyoung’s room. When Seong-yeon enters, she sees Shin-young sleeping and is startled.
She gets closer and takes a look at Shinyoung.
She’s asleep in master sleep, so she won’t be easily awakened… I shouldn’t wake him up?
Shinyoung hasn’t manipulated her memory yet.
After looking at Shinyoung for a while, Seongyeon sighed and came out.
Phew. I’m glad. Just move on.
And she continues to look inside the bunker.
She goes upstairs and when she sees that no one is there, she goes to the elevator that goes outside.
Of course it doesn’t work. Is it possible?
Then she goes to the emergency exit this time.
There is no way it can be opened because it is also covered with dirt.
After checking around for a while, she eventually came out to the artificial garden in the lobby.
She sat helplessly in her chair. She sits blankly, looking at the garden in confusion.
That’s what Shinyoung did. That woman is doing that.
The woman, who had been standing there, suddenly got up and went back to her room.
And then she changes her clothes. Change into her own workout clothes.
Hey. Are you exercising even in these situations? Isn’t it great? If you have something to worry about, do you exercise first?
Anyway, it’s done. I think her memory manipulation was well written. As long as her head doesn’t hurt, that’s fine. Of course, now we have to check whether the skill was used properly.
Let her do her exercise and wait a little.
Naturalness is important. From now on, everything is a favorability project.
Button incorrectly inserted. You were able to put it on properly, right? Of course, it’s close to deception… What. It would be better than killing.
I wait for Seongyeon to finish her workout and take her shower. I’m not wearing makeup today. Is it because her head is complicated?
Release phase out from a corner seat and check the time. 9pm sharp. It’s perfect. Let’s go out now.
I have to act… Can you do it well? Still, all you have to do is not fuss. Let’s do it naturally. Naturally.
I rushed over and opened Seongyeon’s door.
Seongyeon is startled by the suddenly opened door. And then she looks at me and her eyes become surprised.
But it’s not the look of disdain he saw me with before. Pure surprise. And a faint mixture of welcome and favor.
“You woke up!? Oh my god! What happened!? Are you okay!?”
