Chapter 607 – Pocket Girls
‘Now I just have to think about how to bring this technology to the world of Mythology and spread it.’
Seong-il was thinking about the future. Perhaps reading his thoughts, Dr. Jun smiles and tells him.
“Does your head hurt?”
“Ah, yes. What…”
“Sometimes it’s good to cool down. That’s when I come up with a surprisingly good idea. Would you like a cup of tea?”
“Good.”
Seong-il readily agrees to his request because it is always helpful for him to talk with a genius/personality like Dr. Jun.
“Come on! Drink! Jasmine tea!! It’s good!!”
“Okay. I’ll have a good drink.”
A holy day to express gratitude to Hana for bringing home-brewed tea. In addition to asking each other how they are doing, they explain their own stories.
“Ho… You say you succeeded in making the Goddess of Harvest into a minion? Thanks to that, did you succeed in growing a transcendental tree called Dimensional Tree?”
“Yes. And thanks to that, I got a two-dimensional sapling.”
“Like…”
Dr. Jun listens to Seongil’s explanation and shows great interest in the seedlings of the Goddess of Harvest and Dimensional Tree.
“According to you, planting dimension tree saplings in the ground will create a large, fertile and purifying land… Couldn’t we plant those saplings in our world?”
As long as the salvation of one’s world is the goal of life. Dr. Jun shows great interest in planting seedlings in the world of Pocket Girls.
“Um… That’s a bit…”
Seong-il starts to explain to Dr. Jun, who shows interest in seedlings, why he cannot plant them.
“Hmm… Is it because of the problem the Gaia system advised me about the branches of the world tree in advance?”
“That’s right. The Gaia system said that the psionic contamination of this world was so severe that the World Tree… So if you plant a tree, now called the Dimensional Tree, it could become contaminated and turn into a disaster. Not to mention the main body. That’s about it, but it’s true that seedlings are even more reluctant.”
“Hmm…”
Dr. Jun realizes why Seong-il is reluctant to plant the seedlings and begins to think about it with his chin on his back.
“Isn’t there a need to view it unconditionally negatively?”
“Yes? Why?”
While the main body is also dangerous to contamination, Seong-il believes that the seedlings of alter egos are of course at greater risk. In addition, he planted a tree there and shows an extremely negative attitude because he is worried that it will damage the main body.
“That’s it… Isn’t the main body already in a situation where it can grow? Creating an alter ego in such a situation is surprisingly low-risk, or if it’s severe, there may not be any.”
“Um…”
Dr. Jun’s assertion has a point. Seong-il thinks that perhaps Dr. Jun’s opinion might be right because the current seedlings have a support that can be called a dimensional tree.
“…Still, I’m a bit reluctant to eat the saplings of dimension trees, or it can have a bad effect on the main body.”
However, a hypothesis is a hypothesis. A negative answer comes out of Seong-il’s mouth, who is not sure about Dr. Jun’s opinion.
“Whoops… If that’s the problem, it’s enough to make an accurate diagnosis, right?”
“Yes? Is that possible?”
At Dr. Jun’s unexpected words, Seong-il looks at him with a really puzzled expression.
“Of course! You just have to meet her Gaia system and ask her about her potential.”
“Ah…”
After hearing Dr. Jun’s words, Seong-il realizes that there is a very simple solution by his side.
“You have to pay for it. At least getting advice about seedlings from the Gaia system.”
“Well, that’s right.”
Seong-il had no choice but to admit that Dr. Jun’s opinion was reasonable.
‘…Then, shall we go see the Gaia system after a long time? Come to think of it, there are special quests from Gaia System.’
Seong-il naturally recalls Gaia System’s special quest ‘Gaia’s Dream’ that he received a long time ago.
* Special Mission: Gaia’s Dream
– Help Gaia carry on the legacy left by her creator.
– The more skills you give to Gaia, the more rewards appear.
‘You know? Thanks to this sapling, I might be able to complete the special quest.’
In any world, Seong-il has an experience of benefiting greatly after clearing a special quest. He decides to visit the Gaia system for the first time in a long time with a sense of anticipation.
“Edward. Do you remember the coordinates?”
“Of course! Master. It is a place that is no different from my hometown.”
Seong-il finished talking with Dr. Jun and immediately summoned Edward and was moving to Gaia System with him.
“Why don’t you get some rest while I drive the Little Nautilus?”
“Good idea.”
There are also drivers you can trust. Seong-il lays down on Little Nautilus’s seat and goes to sleep.
***
“Im here. Master.”
“Huh…”
Seong-il wakes up at Edward’s voice and struggles to open his eyes. Then I saw the familiar appearance of the hangar.
“Whoah… Can you tell the security system?”
“Of course. In fact, the master has already been appointed manager of this facility, so no rite of passage is necessary. Please follow me.”
“Huh.”
At Edward’s assurance, Seong-il follows him comfortably.
‘Certainly there’s no particular problem.’
The appearance of the security system exactly as Edward expected. Instead of warning or threatening Seong-il, they were saying hello.
“Nice to meet you. Manager.』
“Hi?”
Not long after walking comfortably inside, he reaches Gaia System, the owner of a repair robot factory.
“Long time no see.”
It is a system that is only a piece of data, but Seong-il speaks to him as politely as possible because he is moved by his lofty goal.
“Long time no see. Manager. How have you been?”
“Somehow? I’ll tell you directly. There’s something I’d like to discuss with you, Gaia System.”
After saying that, Seong-il calmly explains to Gaia System the story he had with Dr. Jun a while ago.
『The point is, Administrator, that ‘sapling’ might be the one who will save this world, right?』
“I’m not sure… Didn’t the Gaia System judge that the World Tree in the past might have the power to save the world?”
『That’s right.』
“So just confirm. Even if you can’t save it, it’s certain that you are an existence that can help this world.”
“You are right.”
At Seong-il’s words, the face of a person made of 0 and 1 nodded in affirmation.
“Ruler.”
Seong-il opens the inventory and takes out a sapling to show the Gaia system.
『…』
Gaia’s limb, G.E.C.R, approaches Seong-il and takes the seedling from Seong-il. The robot then places it on a centrally-mounted precision machine and starts analyzing the seedlings.
“…How is it?”
The Gaia system that has been analyzing seedlings for a while. In the meantime, when her analysis system stops analyzing at some point, Seong-il can’t hold back her curiosity and asks her.
『Unfortunately, there is a high possibility that this sapling will not withstand the tainted psionic storm either.』
“Ah…”
『Still, there might be some points I missed, so why don’t you show me the manager’s memories?』
“Oh, it’s possible.”
Since the Gaia system already knew the true identity of Seong-il, Seong-il was not particularly embarrassed to show him his memories.
Therefore, he puts his palm on the Gaia program and transmits memories to Gaia by connecting the nanomachines and the system.
『I will search from the closest memory.』
“Huh.”
With a louder mechanical sound than when analyzing seedlings, the Gaia system begins analyzing the memory of the holy day.
Wooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not long after Gaia analyzed the memory of the holy day, he started to spread a fierce roar from his main body.
“What… What is it?”
When Seong-il muttered, embarrassed by that appearance, Gaia stopped reading her memories and changed into a face made of 0 and 1 again and spoke to him in a fierce tone.
“Manager. Why didn’t you tell me about the leaves of the world?”
“Ah, that…?”
In response to Gaia’s question, Seong-il recalls an artifact he acquired a few days ago worth 1 million points.
『Leaf of Creation: 1 Million Points』
* Gradually restores the nature of a broken world.
* Purifies pollutants from a broken world.
* Provides a certain level of defense against magical and psychic disasters.
* However, if the nature is restored above a certain level, the activity will stop.
‘Right? If I use this, I might be able to restore the Pocket Girls world?’
In response to Gaia’s fierce question, Seong-il calmly understands why she reacts violently to Gaia’s item description.
“Mi… I’m sorry… To be honest, I told you that empathy is an important item for me, but I forgot because I couldn’t think of a specific use for it.”
“It’s okay. The important thing is that even now the manager is aware of the importance of the artifact.”
“Ah… Yes…”
Although he answered with a bewildered expression, Seong-il realizes that this leaf of creation is the item Gaia wants.
‘Are you honey? I came to see if I could clear the quest with saplings, but I broke the quest with the wrong item?’
However, what takes a little bit is worth the leaves. Of course, she got half of it for free by using three wishes, but since the leaf is an artifact worth a million points, Seong-il was reluctant to use it.
‘No. Still, it’s for saving the world, so I shouldn’t be sparing it.’
Hesitating for a while. Seong-il, whose bowl has grown in size while wandering around the world, throws it away and gives Gaia a piece of leaf.
“Do you want this?”
“That’s right. After reading the administrator’s memory, I was able to figure out that the leaf was an item that would purify the world’s pollution.”
“Hmm…Is that enough?”
『I’m sure.』
Seong-il is slightly puzzled as to how Gaia is so sure about a subject she has not even used yet.
“…It’s not hard to give this. But, let’s make sure.”
“What are you talking about?”
“…Can I accept it as clearing the quest given to me?”
『Ah, is it because of the transfer of manufacturing technology and equipment to produce G.E.C.R and ultra-precision nanomachines?』
“Yes. In addition, full management authority of this facility.”
Seong-il tries to get a clear answer from her in order to receive the reward she shared with Gaia in the past.
“Of course it’s possible. Please come this way.”
In response to Sungil’s question, the Gaia system readily spits out an affirmative answer. She then calls in several G.E.C.R robots that are no different from her own limbs and guides her to somewhere on the holy day.
“Oh…”
And a strange device that I saw even deeper inside the facility.
The round orb the size of a small house was constantly producing something, emitting intense psionic waves around it.
“That is the Purity System that allows us to produce ultra-precise nanomachines. The device uses psionic energy to distort the laws of physics. That…”
The Gaia system explains to Seong-il how to mass-produce nanomachines at this production base.
‘Oh… If it’s originally, it’s an ultra-fine nanomachine that cannot be mass-produced due to the laws of physics, but it produces nanomachines in a way that distorts the laws of physics itself using psionic power, right?’
An intriguing way to produce nanomachines.
‘It was a bloody great thing, wasn’t it?! Ignoring the existing laws of physics…’
In addition, Seong-il realizes why Gaia couldn’t mass-produce the system.
‘Eventually, in order to mass-produce that machine, securing stable psionic energy is the key.
Because of this, Seong-il, who realized the truth, shows a slight hesitation.
‘What’s up? If we bring that to our reality, production of the G.E.C.R here will stop and there will be a big problem…’
Now that he has a lot of affection for Pocket Girls, Seong-il can’t make a cold-hearted judgment. Perhaps having read his emotions, the Gaia system speaks to him in a much warmer voice.
“Thank you Administrator for your mercy. But, manager, you don’t have to worry.”
“Hmm…?”
Seong-il is puzzled by Gaia’s words that there would be a really big problem if this facility disappeared.
To Seong-il, Gaia moves several G.E.C.R robots and leads them somewhere.
“This…”
A huge machine appeared in front of Seongil’s eyes. It had the same appearance as the Purity system we saw earlier with Gaia’s introduction.
“This is another Purity system that I have been replicating with all my might for hundreds of years. This system even has superior performance compared to the previous one.”
