Chapter 2027 – 2027. Newtype
Jeong Suyeon, taking a strawberry brought by the chairman of Cheonil Group, looked quite gloomy.
Of course, I understand her. It must be complicated, being an unwanted pregnancy. But what can she do when she’s already pregnant? She has to live strong.
“Heh heh. It’s good to see you eating so well.”
The old chairman was smiling at Jeong Suyeon, as if he had nothing else to do.
And Jeong Suyeon ignored the chairman. It was obvious she didn’t want to deal with him. Even though she had told him to get lost earlier, the chairman, with a face as thick as iron, had stubbornly entered the house.
And that’s how we ended up in this situation. Seeing her silently eat the strawberries, it seemed she really did want to eat them.
“This house is a bit shabby. Wouldn’t it be better to live in the city? I live in Hannam-dong, and the atmosphere there is quite nice. I’ll prepare a house for you, so why don’t you come?”
“I don’t need it. I like this house.”
Jeong Suyeon replied indifferently. As expected of Jeong Suyeon.
There was no respect for the elderly or anything.
But the chairman was not easy to deal with. He didn’t get angry. He calmly said things that scratched at Jeong Suyeon’s nerves.
“Alright. When will the wedding be? They say a bride in May is the best… but May has already passed, so it’s too late. Since you’re pregnant, it would be good to have the wedding before your belly gets too big, wouldn’t it? Let’s do it next week. I’ll prepare everything. You just need to come.”
“I have no intention of getting married.”
“Are you going to make a ninja into Hong Gil-dong? Not being able to call your father, father…”
The chairman clicked his tongue. Jeong Suyeon’s face crumpled. She stroked her belly with one hand and looked at me with her eyes.
We’ve been sharing our bodies for over a month. I can somewhat guess what she’s thinking behind that expressionless face. She’s seriously considering whether to marry me for the sake of the child.
The fact that she’s even considering it isn’t bad. Even if she pretends otherwise, she’s eventually become attached to me. Well, it’s stranger if she didn’t, after having my insides filled every day. Still, seeing her hesitate, I couldn’t let my guard down.
I laughed inwardly. I had something prepared for times like this.
“Suyeon, stop eating strawberries and get ready to go out.”
“…Go out? Where?”
Jeong Suyeon was wary. It seemed her trust in me had decreased a bit. Or maybe it was because she was no longer alone and was taking care of herself.
“We have to get revenge. I’ve been keeping an eye on the Younggwang Group executive who betrayed your father-in-law and stole the research data.”
Jeong Suyeon’s eyes widened for a moment. Her pupils seemed to shake briefly before regaining their usual coldness.
“You found him? How?”
“Did you think I’d start something without investigating? I have a mind-control ability user working under me. I had him dig up information on the Younggwang Group guys.”
I said with a smirk.
To be honest, it was luck. It just so happened that one of the Younggwang Group guys we caught knew the information. All I did was hide the information and not reveal it for this moment.
“…Who is he, and where is he?”
I felt a strong urge for a moment. Should I trade this information with Jeong Suyeon? If I asked her to marry me in exchange, it felt like she might agree.
‘No. Let’s think long-term.’
Not all actions are done for a trade.
I picked up my smartphone and video-called the manservant. The screen showed a building at the foot of a mountain. It was very quiet since there were no other buildings around.
“He’s here. It’s one of the Younggwang Group’s research labs. Younggwang Group is doing various research, and they specialize in artificial monster cultivation. The head of this lab is a guy named Han Cheol-son.”
“…Han Cheol-son.”
Jeong Suyeon murmured quietly, narrowing her brows.
“Is it a name you know?”
“I think I’ve heard the name before.”
I searched for Han Cheol-son’s name on the internet. Immediately, a list of names related to Han Cheol-son popped up. Dr. Han Cheol-son. One of the most renowned scientists in South Korea. After confirming Han Cheol-son’s face, she exuded killing intent.
“…I see. So that’s how it is. This guy betrayed my father and joined the Younggwang Group. I remember my father also did research related to monsters. This guy killed my father and took all the research results.”
“No, that’s not it.”
I did my own investigation.
“Your father, Jeong Man-soo, was researching a monster brainwave scanner, not artificial monster cultivation. A scanner that uses the difference between monster and human brainwaves. The Younggwang Group killed your father to stop the monster scanner research.”
“…Because they are monsters?”
“That’s right. They’d be screwed if their identities were revealed by the monster scanner. Now, let’s go get revenge.”
I held out my hand to Jeong Suyeon. She stared at my hand for a moment. After hesitating and being wary, she cautiously took my hand.
And then I used Leap.
We instantly appeared at the foot of the mountain where the research lab was located.
[You have used Enhanced Leap.]
[136 points have been used.]
Enhanced Leap.
One of the three skills I can use in this world.
Leap is an amazing skill that allows you to teleport, but the distance is short, and it’s difficult to use against opponents above a certain level because they can sense the flow of space.
‘Enhanced Leap can increase the leap distance by consuming points. 300m per point consumed.’
Since coming to this world, I’ve been practicing not only using Hwaryeon Bido but also Leap.
And you can also add targets to leap with by consuming points. It costs 100 points per additional target. There’s no need to touch the target, and it works as long as the target is nearby and not resisting. The reason I held Jeong Suyeon’s hand was because I wanted to.
And if you use 100 points for distance, you can move anywhere without distance limitations. Under the condition that you can see the location you want to move to. It doesn’t matter if it’s through a video. However, only if the video is in real-time.
‘There are quite a few limitations on Leap.’
I wonder if those limitations will disappear as the Leap level increases.
“Wait. We came straight here?!”
“It’s one of my three abilities. It’s called Enhanced Leap. It’s a teleportation ability. Cool, right?”
“That’s not the problem. You didn’t bring any equipment. Go back home and get my equipment.”
“…This isn’t an ability I can just use casually.”
There’s no cooldown for Leap. If I have enough mana and stamina, I can use it 10 times or 100 times in a row. Although the mana and stamina consumption isn’t small, in this case, the points were too valuable.
I flicked my fingers at the manservant who was watching us. The manservant ran over. I handed the sword the manservant was carrying to Jeong Suyeon. Jeong Suyeon took the sword and swung it a few times. She nodded in satisfaction.
‘She has so many abilities. Doesn’t she not need a sword?’
But if she wants to use it, there’s nothing I can do.
Jeong Suyeon and I walked towards the main gate of the research lab.
“…Are we just moving so openly?”
“We’ve already been exposed. There’s a camera in front of the gate. And those bastards can’t run away. How many manservants are stationed here?”
“You shouldn’t call people ‘units’.”
“It’s okay to call them manservants?”
“Because they are manservants.”
I sometimes couldn’t understand Jeong Suyeon’s mind. But it was okay. Jeong Suyeon had big breasts, a firm butt, and was pretty.
As we approached the research lab, five armed guards popped out and fired their rifles at us.
Jeong Suyeon pulled out dozens of wires from her hand and swung them in front of her, rotating them. The wires became a shield, deflecting the bullets.
I reached my hand towards the sky.
“Thunderbolt.”
Kwakwakwang!
Lightning struck continuously, instantly wiping out the guards. Even if they were fully armed guards, they were just ordinary people, not Guardians. They couldn’t withstand the lightning and died.
“Isn’t this an important research lab for the Younggwang Group? It’s strange that there are no Force Awakeners, even if there are no Guardians.”
“Don’t worry, it’s not a trap. There were originally three Guardians guarding this place, but as soon as the Younggwang Group incident broke out, they ran away with some of the researchers. They cut ties with the Younggwang Group.”
By the way, I also spread their personal information on the internet. Since it was spread under my name, they were branded as traitors to humanity and even had bounties placed on their heads. They wouldn’t be welcomed anywhere in the world, not just in Korea.
I slowly entered the research lab.
Tssshhhhh.
Gas was released from the ceiling. As soon as I saw it, I swung Hwaryeon Bido. The flying sword energy shattered the gas vents.
‘Poison gas? Or sleeping gas?’
The gas stopped coming out, but there were definitely more traps inside.
Brain Heaven Style (雷天流) Electromagnetic Wave (電磁氣波).
I spread electromagnetic waves mixed with Force to check the structure of the research lab. I could vividly feel the hidden spaces in the lab and the presence of the creatures inside.
‘This is really useful.’
The range of the electromagnetic waves was only 50m, but that was enough to grasp most of the inside of the lab.
I moved forward without hesitation. Most of the traps were like turrets hidden in the walls, and I shattered them with Hwaryeon Bido before they could even activate.
I stopped Jeong Suyeon from entering the next room.
“There’s nothing in that room.”
“…That’s the technique you used during the erosion phenomenon.”
I nodded and went down to the basement.
In the basement, there were monster cultivation facilities. Small monsters were inside incubators.
The incubators opened, and small monsters popped out.
Even though they were monsters, they were babies.
They were in a weaker state than ever.
‘I had something I wanted to test, so this is good.’
I gathered the babies in one place. Each monster was a different species. Among them, there were some ferocious ones that bared their teeth even though they were babies.
“For humanity, soccer kick!”
With one soccer kick, a baby monster crashed into the wall and became a pulp! I nodded in satisfaction and gathered the baby monsters in one place. I didn’t forget to keep a proper distance between the babies.
“Chain Lightning!”
Blue lightning extended from my middle finger towards the baby monsters. Chain Lightning electrocuted the first baby monster it hit and then moved to the next one. It chained seven times before disappearing.
‘Hmm. It’s not as good as a real chain lightning, not a magic one.’
I tried a few more times. In conclusion, I failed to implement chain lightning.
