Chapter 385 – 385. Symbiosis
Four women practicing skills on Baengnyeong Island.
When they see me, they all say hello briefly and then go back to their work.
Seunghee and Anna are playing tag with each other using Blink.
What’s interesting is that Seunghee can’t catch Anna at all, but Anna catches Seunghee sometimes.
“Ouch! I got caught again!”
Seunghee shouts out in disappointment every time she gets caught. Anna definitely has good sense when she sees things like that.
Blink eventually becomes a habit.
A very short time. A situation where you cannot think for a long time, so you have to reflexively decide on a destination.
In such a situation, you naturally have no choice but to choose a position that you think is advantageous.
If you figure that out, you can predict to a small extent where Blink will go. And Anna is doing it.
What an amazing woman. That’s not something you can learn by teaching me.
Anna said something to Seunghee.
Can we talk to each other? It seems like they’re just talking in simple words, but Seunghee keeps nodding her head as if she understands.
And then the Blink game of tag started again.
Become skilled and trained. Good. Of course, something like that is better than quietly practicing alone.
Well, you’re doing well.
Se-Ah lies diagonally in her room, opens and closes storage, and watches Anna and Seung-Hee through the wide-open terrace window.
The sea breeze is still cold, so it looks like the person is almost hugging the electric heater.
No, why are you leaving the door open and the heater on? Did you want to hear the sound?
The bag of eaten snacks neatly gathered next to her seems to indicate SeAh’s level of sloth.
Thanks to regression, it’s great to be able to eat unlimited snacks.
This shouldn’t have any side effects. Hmm… There won’t be any, right?
Mina wearing a lightning sphere.
The lightning sphere has now become a somewhat scary size. I think it’s probably high-end… A sphere almost as tall as a person flies forward at a fairly high speed.
Moreover, the lightning strands crackling and spewing out around the area are quite threatening.
It would be worth seeing if you passed by one of those places where there were a lot of people. It’s just a high-level lightning skill, so is it okay to be so brutal?
But in reality, it is difficult to be defeated by that.
No matter how fast it is, in the end, if there is flight or blink, it is almost impossible to hit it with that.
That… It’s a skill for Yanghak. But… If something like that had existed in the beginning, it would have been quite scary.
After watching, I went and sat next to Se-ah.
When I arrived, Se-ah grumbled and handed me a bag of snacks.
You’re giving away your snacks. I am loved.
“What? You ate it all, right?”
“Ask me to use regression.”
“Hey!”
Damn this gas. Anyway!
Whatever it was, I ended up writing regression. Se-ah is delighted as she opens the bag of new snacks again.
As a bonus, I also set regression on all the bags of snacks piled up next to me.
Everyone returned to the intact snacks, and Se-ah looked at me and gave her thumbs up.
“If you like it so much, why do you only use it when you write regression?”
“Then you use regression often.”
When I looked at him in bewilderment, he pretended not to see my gaze and focused on eating snacks.
“How much are you storing?”
“Me? 91%.”
“Advanced?”
“Uh.”
A guy who keeps using storage while talking to me.
After using it a few times, I one-shot a recovery potion.
“91 shots. There’s not much left. Is there 450 left? I guess we’ll film it today?”
“Ah. I don’t know. It’s hard. Even now, I’m almost at my limit.”
“Still, it’s a good job if you can shoot that much in 5 days. It’s getting faster.”
It’s not that I fell into laziness, it’s that I was sagging because I drank too many potions.
It looks amazing when you look at it like that. Poor.
I stroked her head and there was no reaction. It must be really difficult. I guess I don’t have the strength to do that.
“If you become a storage master, learn to strengthen your fists.”
“Huh… What is that again? Reinforced Fist? That’s a really cool name for the skill.”
“It sucks, but… You are destined to learn it.”
“No… What kind of skill is that? You have to tell me what it is and tell me to learn it.”
“I don’t know exactly. Anyway… You’re going to do big things with your fists.”
“What are you saying? It’s going to be hard, so don’t keep saying weird things.”
“Anyway, don’t push yourself too hard. I’m going out again.”
Se-ah doesn’t answer and just waves her hand.
I immediately used teleportation and went to Shanghai.
Quiet surroundings. It seems like the payment dispatchers haven’t come back.
Or has he already been there? In any case, if there is nothing that gets detected, there is nothing.
Anyway, these guys have nothing to do anymore. You should live your whole life wondering what happened.
Because I’m leaving here.
It started flying north. Yangtze. I have to go up along that river.
Se-Ah will soon master storage and learn strengthened fists, so I have to go to the Three Gorges Dam quickly.
Go save the location and see the points. I need to give those damn bastards a bath quickly.
It would have been better if it were mid-winter. Well, it can’t be helped.
Ugh. The long winter has passed. It was really long.
The Yangtze River is visible before your eyes. And the wall where the last payment contingent departed from.
It’s quiet here today too. That’s interesting. Why is it so quiet?
Are you saying they won’t act rashly just because two or three people are missing? No matter what, you’re so heartless? I don’t understand.
What do you know? Let’s just ignore it. You don’t have to worry about this any more anyway.
It started moving along the river.
There is no need to follow the winding river, so go back appropriately.
At the same time, they excitedly opened the gate to the Yangtze River.
When seawater mixes with river water… The damage will be enormous. Of course, this river is relatively large, so it may not be noticeable.
But I don’t just write it once. Since the four gates are kept open, the amount of seawater coming out of them is enormous.
The flight continues, using the gate like that. Although the skill is a little delayed… Well, there’s nothing we can do.
As the sun set, we saved the location and moved to Baengnyeong Island.
I opened the gate for Seunghee, Mina, Se-ah, and Anna to go home and teleported back to China.
I don’t even know where I am right now. All you have to do is go up the river, so it doesn’t really matter where you are.
Anyway, it goes upstream again.
This river is big and easy to follow, but it is too big. Sometimes I get confused about the direction.
It’s not just a river. Looking at the topography, you can see how much the land has changed as this river flows.
Since I’ve been interested in geography for a long time, I don’t get bored while moving around while looking at things like that.
Moreover, whenever I read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms or the Book of Martial Arts, I couldn’t understand exactly why there were naval forces and pirates in the Yangtze River… I think I can tell now.
I think piracy is enough at this level. I understand why the Yangtze River was considered so important.
Anyway, we continued to open the gate until late at night and moved upstream, then saved and returned home.
When I got home, everyone was tired and sleeping soundly.
Even if you want to do dirty things because you are passionate about becoming skilled, it is not easy.
What… I’m tired too, so let’s rest. Anyway, I did it with Go Seong-yeon earlier.
Write sleep and fall asleep. Tomorrow I have to go see Seo Min-jun again.
Ah. Bothered. Since I ordered something, I can’t go and see it. Ugh.
The next day, he sent the four women to Baengnyeong Island and crossed into China, continuing up the river.
It’s a boring and monotonous job, but I feel energized when I think about the dogs that will enjoy receiving the seawater I gave them as a gift.
I need to give it as a gift to more people. You can’t be this late.
When I roughly measured the distance from Shanghai to the Three Gorges Dam using a map app, it was about 1,150 kilometers.
Because I travel 55 kilometers an hour… It only takes 20 hours to fly, and I think we’re already halfway there.
But why does it seem like there is so much left? No matter how many times I go, it feels like there is no end.
At around 4 PM, I saved the location and went to Suwon.
Two women caught in detection. All I had to do was stay alive. I didn’t bother to go down and check and just flew to Cheongju.
In front of SG Center. A helicopter that flies without hesitation.
Use Phase Out and walk. Seo Min-jun is standing back in front. I’m slowly getting used to seeing it like this.
He must have heard footsteps and turns around to look at me.
Ah. Don’t laugh, you bastard. Why is a man smiling at a man?
“You came.”
“Why do you keep treating me with respect? Are you a pervert?”
“Well, I treat everyone else with respect.”
“You’re a pervert.”
“I guess so. If you think about it, is there anyone in the world who isn’t a pervert?”
Ugh. That sly bastard. That guy is definitely a weird guy. The fact that you keep trying to talk to me is really crazy.
“Did you find out what I asked you to find out?”
“Yes. I received a report from the Strategic Research Institute last night. Would you like to give it to you?”
“It’s okay. Say it with words.”
“In words. Ha. So, what you wanted was to see if you could make a bomb with great power by collecting the gunpowder that looks like fireworks.”
“Uh.”
“And when we tested it… Theoretically it was possible, but in reality it was impossible.”
“It’s impossible? Why? It’s possible in theory, but what does it mean that it can’t be done in practice? What’s lacking?”
“No. According to the report… There was no problem collecting the black gunpowder left in the fireworks. However, it was said that after collecting it above a certain level and combining it, it disappeared. Boom.”
“Disappear?”
“Yes. No matter how many times I test it, it’s the same. Maybe that’s why there are no gunpowder weapons in this world.”
“Ha. That’s terrible. Really.”
The gunpowder remaining in the fireworks… Was there too little left to kill people?
Does it disappear when it exceeds a certain amount? Under. Really. It’s so needlessly detailed.
“So, when we measured the limit of its non-disappearance, it turned out that its firepower was not enough. Even if used on a person, it would only cause burns or minor injuries? Of course, depending on the area, it could cause serious injury.”
“In the end, it’s not enough to destroy the dam.”
“… Huh? Dam?”
“There is such a thing.”
“No. Wait. Destroying the dam? Why?”
“There is such a thing.”
“Could you please tell me too? After hearing what you said, I am very curious.”
“Don’t worry about it, find something else. First…”
“No, what do you want me to find out? You don’t even tell me what you want me to know. Isn’t that just giving instructions too one-sidedly?”
I glared at him slightly.
Under. Young. You should be thankful just for not killing them and keeping them alive. Also, how much did I give you?
“In China, there is a group called the payment detachment. One team consists of 7 to 10 people, and the level is roughly…”
Paid contingent and provincial contingent. Their composition, number, level.
He said these things in a row. At first, he was wondering what he was talking about, but his face gradually hardened.
When I finished the story, he just kept his mouth shut and couldn’t say anything.
“If they attack, can you stop them?”
“Ha…”
“How many skills do you have?”
“I… There are 5.”
“It’s not enough. It’s the result of thinking about things like a group, an organization, and such. The reason you guys are alive right now is that the idiots are so busy defending themselves because of their karma that they aren’t coming out.”
There is nothing wrong with what I said, so his expression is very stern.
“Don’t do useless things and increase your strength. And you have a job to do. It’s probably something that only people of your size can do in our country.”
“Ha… What is it?”
I don’t really like this guy, but since he is literally that guy, there are things possible.
Of course… It’s never a good thing for him to become stronger. After all, he is a guy who could threaten me.
But that guy has a lot on his shoulders. He knows that he has more to lose if he is hostile toward me for no reason.
So I won’t do anything useless.
Reasoning based on reasonable logic that all humans should have, not shallow trust or belief.
“Reveal skill effects. For reference, I have 13 skills. I know what skills are available up to Tier 13.”
“13…”
A guy who looks like he’s fed up. But you can tell. When that guy hears things like this, he burns up rather than giving up.
“But these skills. As you know, you don’t know what the skill is just by the name. So, pick someone you trust and feed them the potion. You eat it too. In the process, raise the skill. Take a picture of what the skill is and find out what effects and performance it has. . Only then will your survival rate increase.”
“If you find out that way, will you share it with you?”
“I share as much information as I know.”
“Surprisingly, you seem to have a solid deal on something like that.”
“Why? Should we make it a little more unfair?”
“No. Is there anyone who likes that?”
A moment of silence.
Hmm. It’s time to go. Because I’ve said everything I wanted to say.
“Wait a minute! We’re just going to keep going like this again!”
A quick-witted bastard. Maybe that bastard will live for a long time.
Those who are quick-witted tend to live a long time. Or die really young.
