Chapter 621 – 621. Hiding in Secret
The next day.
I tried to create some tension by recruiting Seo Min-jun to the Ark, but it’s a bit disappointing that I failed.
Then what… I can’t help it. I have no choice but to look back myself.
CCTV surveillance by employers is illegal, but… It doesn’t matter since you’re seeing this in person, right?
There’s no way it doesn’t matter. It would be natural to feel bad if you found out.
But you don’t have to get caught, right? Just don’t show it.
Even the kings of the Joseon Dynasty often secretly committed false accusations. Let’s think of it like that.
Actually… I also don’t know completely what’s in this ark.
I just know that there are various facilities.
Smart farms, state-of-the-art livestock farms, fish farms… Only places related to food like this.
After all, eating and making a living is the most important thing.
Detection through reduction, transparency, and sealing.
What if this happens… No one can notice me. It’s literally a perfect secret act, right?
But that’s the same as saying that if someone else comes in like this, you can’t stop it.
Of course, there has to be someone who learned to lift restrictions and learn seals… In any case, there must be preparation for this.
The production facility looks hectic.
It seems like everyone is unfamiliar with it, perhaps because it is a new environment and because it is a smart farm rather than building in a greenhouse like before.
However, even in such a situation, there will be no problem as there is growth.
It just depends on how much you get used to it.
Among the people with Director Jeong, there are familiar faces.
They… Plant sisters. Yeonseo and Miyeon. And Minjoo and Eugene.
Women with growing skills in Cheongpyeong. Well, it must be exciting for Director Jeong.
Because there are more people with growth skills.
For him, who also managed all of Fence’s production schedule, the number of people who can use growth skills is directly related to productivity.
Manager Jeong excitedly explains something with the existing growth team from Fence, those with growth skills from Castle, and the four from Cheongpyeong.
You look so happy? Well, that’s it. With that thought in mind, I was about to go somewhere else when Director Jeong started moving around with people.
People who moved to the fish farm. And Director Jeong calls someone.
“Haha. Captain Kim. Are you excited to see the fish after a long time?”
“Kyaa. I didn’t know that I would be able to catch flounder again 5 years after I started using the sashimi knife.”
Then, a man called Captain Kim looked proudly down the fish farm.
“Didn’t you forget to hold the knife?”
“Don’t say that nonsense. Where can you show me now?”
“Good. Let’s check the condition. You were planning on doing that anyway, right? You came fully prepared.”
“Yes, that’s right!”
Then he puts down the bag he was carrying and heads toward the fish farm with two other men.
Captain Kim picked up the long landing net next to him, stirred the bottom of the fish farm a few times, and immediately remembered a fish.
Meanwhile, the other two people bring a folding table and take out cutting boards and knives that seem to have been prepared in advance.
It looks like he prepared in advance for today.
After catching a few fish like that, he starts slicing sashimi right on the spot.
The people watching couldn’t take their eyes off the men cutting the raw fish with their knives, and it wasn’t long before pure white raw fish was being placed on the plate.
“Try it. Hey, I don’t have any wishes anymore. I’ve prepared some soy sauce, so everyone, try one piece at a time.”
Everyone, including Director Jeong, came rushing over and grabbed the raw fish with their bare hands without any chopsticks, put it on a piece of vinegared paper, and put it in their mouth.
And the people who ate the raw fish looked happy.
Faces that mutter, but the corners of their mouths do not lower.
“Wow… I’ve been thinking about soju since daylight.”
Someone spoke and everyone nodded in agreement, but diligently picked up the raw fish and ate it.
When I see that… It was a little unfair.
Why did you come secretly? I should have come out loud. Then I could have gotten a piece of raw fish.
Ah… Idiot. You’re stupid. It’s stupid.
Did you say it was floundered? Ah. Pure white fish flesh… It looks so fucking delicious.
Ah… Should I just come out now and pretend I just came?
However, since I only caught a few fish, my plate quickly ran out.
Everyone is in a very sad mood. Shit. But you all tasted it!!
“Wow. It’s killer. So does that mean I can eat it like this on a regular basis?”
“Let’s see… Since the scale of the food is quite large, I think we can probably put it on the menu at least once a week even if it doesn’t work out.”
“Once a week? That much?”
“Flounder has a good yield. But it must be a bit difficult to grow and use fish, right?”
“That’s true. Still, we have to think of a way. But can the three of you host all these episodes? There are over 600 people?”
“Where is it? Castle? There are a lot of people there too. If you look around, you won’t find one or two people who know how to hold a sashimi knife.”
“I guess so. Anyway, it’s good news. I’ve been missing fish so much. I can finally eat it.”
People who talk about fish like that. I wanted to see more, but I’m a little heartbroken that I couldn’t eat raw fish.
I should go somewhere else. I think I’ll get upset if I stay any longer.
While walking around somewhere else, the smell of food caught my nose, so I went there.
At first glance, it looks like a restaurant. It’s neater and bigger than I thought. It is probably large enough to accommodate all the people in the ark at once.
And the kitchen inside. Yu-jeong’s sister-in-law was there. And some from Cheongpyeong and the restaurant lady from Pence. And even Haruka.
And… He’s the best member. Is the taste of the food guaranteed at this level?
The meeting of the restaurant lady Pence, the magician of chemical seasonings, and Haruka, the master of natural food.
Moreover, Yu-jeong’s sister-in-law is also quite skilled.
I’m a hard worker who grew tomatoes and even made ketchup in this ruined world.
There was still quite a bit of time left until lunch, but they seemed quite distracted.
Okay. They must be the busiest now to prepare lunch.
Looking inside, there are quite a few men.
Well, many of the people who came to Fence or Castle worked in the cooking field.
Let’s see… What is the lunch menu?
It looks like something is being prepared, but I’m not sure what. One thing is certain: there is plenty of meat.
Okay. Eat well and live well. That’s good.
I thought I would get hungry if I stayed here, so I quickly went out.
This is fun to watch. It’s also fun to see familiar faces here and there.
Moreover, it is amazing that such people come together and form a union.
The more I look at it, the more I am convinced that combining it was a good choice.
Thank you, Jangryong. I guess this is all thanks to you.
When I pour a drink for the king of the Yakuza, I’ll pour you a drink too.
There are more and more people pouring drinks for me.
To begin with, this place must have been a bunker for high-ranking Chinese officials.
There are more facilities than you think. There is a large bathhouse, an indoor water park, and a swimming pool.
In addition, there are facilities such as a bowling alley, table tennis court, and gym… Anyway, it’s a pretty nice place.
Well, I meant to use this place. It looks like Jangryong didn’t use those facilities and just stayed there.
People are working together to reopen each facility.
First, what they are working the hardest on is erasing the Jjanggae characters that appear everywhere and changing them to Hangul.
Okay. That’s the most important thing. Because there are no people here who speak Chinese.
And the person supervising it all is Seung-gyu.
He keeps walking around, checking for problems, necessary items, and shortcomings.
Seung-gyu is in charge of facility management, and Manager Jeong is in charge of production? So what should Minhee do?
I turned my detection gear and scanned each and every sign.
And Minhee was discovered. She was in a place where there were a lot of screens on the wall.
Maybe… I think that’s the security room.
When I put on my phase out and went into the security room where Minhee was, I saw Jinyoung next to her.
A guy working on something. Looking at it, it seems to be CCTV-related.
Well, he took care of everything in Cheongpyeong himself.
A guy touching something while talking to another older guy.
I think it’s probably someone from the Pence side. Because there were quite a few experts there.
When I watch the two of them talking, I can feel that everyone is having fun with the situation, even if I don’t know what they’re talking about.
Minhee looks at the monitors. I continued to watch her like that.
She’s pretty in everyday life, but she looks even prettier when she’s working.
Plus, the office look I’m wearing right now… It’s really a practical type, right?
I feel like calling her into the room, grabbing her by the front of her blouse, and ripping it off.
However… I have to endure it. Because I’m not that horny.
I looked at Minhee for a little while longer and then went outside again.
Then… Where should we go now?
I canceled the phase out in a corner and used all the buffs, including shrinking, again.
And went down. The lowest level, where there is an open space and a runway.
There, Aki was doing something like a mock battle with Yunseo, Songi, Jeonghyeon, Jia, and Jiwon.
Continuous blink. And a game of tag to catch each other.
Maybe it’s a situation where the tagger is Aki and the others are running away. But surprisingly, Aki catches them one by one.
It’s not that the women on the search team are weak… Aki has great intuition.
He doesn’t have lightning reflexes, but he moves well. Amazingly.
Below them, other members of the security team were watching the movement, and on one side, Seungju, Junghyeon, and Jiyeon, who had just learned to fly, could be seen practicing flight skills.
Hmm… Well, everyone seems to be getting along well.
If this is the case, there will be no problem.
It’s really nice to live well on your own without having to tell you what to do.
No hassle, right? Besides, I’m not a smart enough person to tell those people what to do.
I moved to Cheongju using teleportation.
Cheongju Airport where I saved it before leaving yesterday.
Now that we have the ark, we have to try another secret journey.
Minjun Seo. That guy.
Although the recruitment failed, I need someone to maintain SG City, who can become my sacrifice.
So to prevent him from doing anything useless, he needs to be monitored regularly.
First, let’s take a look at the infrastructure of the guy I remembered yesterday.
The first place I went to was the Strategic Research Institute.
This guy didn’t hide the research center in a deep place like a dog.
A large building in the center of SG City. The research lab there.
Go right away and check it out. There’s nothing special, but you should still keep an eye on it.
It’s not a very professional place since it’s been around for a while. Still, everything has been confirmed up to Tier 15.
These days, there is a lot of research being done on hidden skills. Actually, if you look at this much, I still followed a lot.
It was quite surprising that he was Tier 15.
Although Seo Min-jun is nowhere to be seen, the lab seems to be very busy.
Hmm. Where is this guy? Are you at home?
I went to his house and looked… Does not exist. Ah. Since it’s lunchtime on a weekday, you probably won’t be home. Should we go to his office?
SG’s tall buildings next to the industrial complex. I was able to find him in the office there.
Sitting at a desk doing nothing with clasped hands placed on the forehead.
It doesn’t look like he’s thinking about what to have for lunch.
Maybe that guy is acting like that because of me. A sneaky bastard.
If I had spoken honestly and manly, I could have given away some information. Do you look at your liver like a lifeless body?
What if I didn’t have a poltergeist there? Was he trying to subdue me?
Did they capture me, lock me up, and try to read all my memories?
It doesn’t matter if it’s not memory reading. They would have said that if you just cast a charm, they would give it to you.
Anyway, what a shameful bastard. I have to go over what I have to go over.
It’s both funny and pitiful that they were so arrogant and believed in a poltergeist.
There are still many parts of the world that he doesn’t know about. Pathetic guy.
It doesn’t seem like they’re planning anything right now, so I’ll leave it at that for now.
Those with a foundation can’t escape it. That’s the downside.
As long as that guy doesn’t give up his position as chairman, he’s in my hands.
Besides, there’s no way I’ll miss it since Lena has tracked it anyway.
It’s okay. This is enough to covertly… I have to go and master my skills.
If I master one skill every two days, I will be able to get a wish within the next week, so I need to be more diligent.
After returning to the bunker, I began to practice my skills by making concrete objects one by one and throwing them into the Wuhan gate next to Se-ah and Anna, who were keeping quiet from the wild dogs.
