The Third-Gen Chaebol Becomes a Genius Actor Chapter 43

Dreaming (1).

“Hyung Yeonseo.”

Child actor Do-yul Han stretched out his hands towards Yoo Yeon-seo. Yoo Yeon-seo looked down at the child with her characteristic indifferent expression and turned her head away, pretending not to notice.

“Huh…”

Han Do-yul urged, stamping his feet.

Should we stop joking now? Yoo Yeon-seo lifted the child up. Han Do-yul laughed and loved it.

Lee Tae-gyeom laughed. No matter how many times I see him, I can’t get used to him. He’s kind to people.

“Do you like your child?”

“The kid is cute. “You are disgusting.”

Lee Tae-gyeom frowned.

The children I saw in 2207 were born in the same area as Kang Jin-hu and were destined to become soldiers. At first, I cried and whined during military training, but later on, I had to concentrate on the training while suppressing my emotions.

So the innocent children of today were amazing and cute. After all, it must be in a peaceful era.

“How was today’s filming, Doyul?”

“It was fun!”

He didn’t feel bad when the child grabbed his silver hair and held it tightly as if it were strange. Behind the scenes, the child’s guardian was warning him not to rip his brother’s hair off.

“Today is the last day with you, Doyul, aren’t you upset?”

“I can see you later!”

“Okay, watch it on TV. hi.”

I still can’t tell the difference between meeting and breaking up, but I liked the acting because it was pretty good.

“Mr. Yeonseo.”

“yes.”

After handing the child over to the guardian, Yoo Yeon-seo turned her head to Director Lee Soo-ji’s call.

“We decided to gather at the artist’s studio and watch it together. Are you coming?”

Today was the first broadcast of ‘Dreaming’. Yeon-seo glanced at the people behind Su-ji Lee. Jin Soo-ho, Lee Seon-ja, and Jo Yu-mi, who will play Jin Soo-ho’s assistant in the drama, were waving their hands to invite us to see them together.

Fortunately, after that day, Jin Su-ho behaved kindly to everyone as usual.

“Okay, let’s go.”

Well, if someone vomited blood like that and told someone else, would they believe it? Yu Yeon-seo nodded.

***

[Where are you going, Mom?]

[Si-hwan. I will live in this house from now on.]

[Mom?]

[Mom… I will come pick him up later when Si-hwan is older.]

Just looking at the front door, in front of a house that does not appear to be an ordinary rich house, young Park Si-hwan is wearing his mother’s pants. I held on to my crotch.

[Can’t I go? don’t go! Mom!]

[Young master, please come in now.]

[Mom!]

Lee Seon-ja, who played the role of Park Si-hwan’s mother in the play, looked younger by removing wrinkles through post-touch correction. Seon-ja Lee’s heart breaks as she sees her son holding on to her, but Yun-hwa Kim, whose name is in the play, tries to keep her facial expressions in check, solemnly pulls her son away and disappears far away.

[Mom!]

Little Park Si-hwan shouted loudly. He shakes off the man holding him and runs to Kim Yun-hwa. But suddenly, fire erupts from all directions and burns the area around him.

“omg!”

Park Si-hwan, now a grown man, opened his eyes. It was a nightmare.

The screen shows the back of Park Si-hwan, who raises his upper body from the bed and rests his head.

After washing himself due to cold sweat, Park Si-hwan came out of the bathroom, wiping off his wet hair with a towel.

Some staff members were shocked and made a playful fuss at the sight of him taking off his top. Jin Su-ho smiled sheepishly and then focused on the screen again.

“Echo, how is the weather today?”

The screen showed a black electronic device placed on the table. It was a PPL for Jusung Electronics’ artificial intelligence speaker ‘Ego’.

“eco?”

I waited for an answer, but it was quiet. Park Si-hwan sighed softly. It was like an expression like, ‘He’s doing this again.’

(Say yes.)

When Park Si-hwan tapped the speaker, Echo blinked the blue light three times and started working. After all, electronic devices need to be beaten to be repaired.

He looked at Echo with pitiful eyes, then turned around and put on his shirt.

“weather.”

(The weather in Seoul today is…….)

Echo recited the weather in a pitchless voice.

“It’s clear…”

But there was no need to listen. Park Si-hwan closed the curtains and looked blankly out the window. Contrary to his distraught feelings after having a nightmare, the sky was clear without a single cloud.

The scene changed to show Park Si-hwan in a luxury car.

(Medical virtual reality ‘Utopia’ is hot these days, isn’t it?)

(It’s hot. Not long ago, it was said to have been used to send off brain-dead people to their final moments. The bereaved families said they were saddened by the unexpected separation, but happy that they could at least hear the will.) Medical virtual

reality Reality ‘Utopia’

‘Utopia’, which started to awaken the minds of vegetative people, has been attracting attention these days. It was introduced not only to vegetative people but also to brain-dead and paralyzed patients, and many people got out of their hospital beds thanks to it.

(Resulting social side effects cannot be ruled out. ‘Utopia’ brokers have emerged by taking advantage of the psychology of people who have difficulty living in real life and want to escape to virtual reality.) (That is why some gamers are using ‘Utopia’ technology to create virtual reality

. There are voices calling for a game to be made. The response is positive.)

(But won’t games also have side effects? What are you going to do if you can’t break it forever?)

(The government will need to set clear guidelines…)

Park Si-hwan turned off the radio and played music. As the drama’s main OST played, the screen showed Park Si-hwan’s car speeding on the Han River bridge under a blue sky.

The scene changes as the drama’s logo, beautifully made with

Dreaming calligraphy, appears.

“They said Chairman Lee’s mother wouldn’t wake up.”

Chairman Park, sitting at the head table in a heavy interior made of black and mahogany wood, looked at his bastard son, Park Si-hwan, who was standing upright, and spoke as if giving a command.

“You have to solve it this time too.”

“Was Chairman Lee’s mother in a vegetable state?”

“What are you going to do?”

Park Si-hwan narrowed one eye. There is no one around Chairman Lee who could enter ‘Utopia’……

“Tsk, that damn dementia.”

Chairman Lee did not want to take care of an elderly person with dementia, so he asked his close friend, Chairman Park, to place his mother in a virtual reality world. Park Si-hwan’s expression turned into disgust after hearing Chairman Park muttering to himself.

“Anyway, you can solve it yourself. “I have to go rounding.”

“Don’t be mistaken, Chairman.”

“what?”

Chairman Park raised his head at Park Si-hwan’s low voice.

“The reason I took charge of ‘Utopia’s’ risk management team was not because of the Chairman. So, there is no reason to listen to the Chairman’s personal matters.”

“You bastard!”

Chairman Park, who is hot-headed, shouted loudly. However, Park Si-hwan did not change his expression and threatened.

“I won’t end up like Siwoo.”

“Park Si-hwan!”

His younger brother, Park Si-woo, was nothing short of Chairman Park’s annoyance. Park Si-woo, who became a vegetable after riding a motorcycle, was used as a test subject for the development of ‘Utopia’.

However, Park Si-woo never woke up and ended his life. However, his experimental data remained intact and contributed to the success of the Utopia project, and Chairman Park was sitting on a rich cushion.

“Did you know that today is the anniversary of Siwoo’s death?”

Unlike Park Si-hwan, who was an illegitimate son, Park Si-woo was the youngest son that Chairman Park used to bite and suck. I’m going to forget my son’s death anniversary and go play golf.

And it was ironic that the only person celebrating the anniversary was Park Si-hwan, an illegitimate son.

“I feel sorry for the old man, so I’ll do it this once. But not twice.”

Park Si-hwan slammed the door.

As Park Si-hwan, in a bloody mood, disappeared out of the hallway, the secretaries sitting in front of the chairman’s office noticed.

“Who is he?”

“Oh, it’s my first time today so I don’t know. Son of Chairman Park Si-hwan. ‘Utopia’ Risk Management Team Leader.”

The new secretary widened her eyes in surprise. The risk management team of ‘Utopia’ was working to bring out people who had fallen into deep dreams and who refused to come out to reality even after their bodies had fully recovered.

“He’s the president’s son?”

“You’re an illegitimate child.”

“No, still. Are you asking your blood to do such difficult work? “If you get upset, you’ll end up in a vegetative state.”

And the risk management team did not have many team members despite their high salaries. If you are not careful, your mind will become tied to ‘utopia’ and you will never be able to return to reality.

“I heard that there is someone looking for that person in ‘Utopia’.”

“is it so? “The person you are looking for has become a ‘drifter’?”

“I guess so.”

“Who are you?”

And people who were trapped in ‘utopia’ and could not return to reality were called ‘drifters’.

“My mother, my real mother, whom I separated from when I was young.”

“Mr. Sihwan!”

“Mr. Joohee.”

“Are you going into your dream again today? “There’s no request, right?”

“It just happened.”

Ah, the Chairman’s instructions. Yang Joo-hee narrowed her eyes as if she understood.

The person who played Yang Joo-hee was Jo Yu-mi, an actress in her third year.

“Then I will use this in my dream today.”

Yang Joo-hee tapped the screen in front of her. Park Si-hwan stood behind Yang Joo-hee and looked at the screen.

“What is this?”

“This newly developed AI. It’s already dangerous to go in alone, so take a partner with you. “I almost couldn’t wake up before.”

Park Si-hwan laughed mischievously. When I was with Chairman Park, the atmosphere was quite different.

“You created a new AI? “In that short amount of time?”

“I looked it up and found out who made it first. “I did some tweaking.”

Anyway, that’s true. It’s also a feat to take someone else’s modified source code and complete it. Park Si-hwan smiled slightly and pressed the smartwatch on his right wrist a few times.

“I feel confident because of Joohee.”

“If it wasn’t me, Si-Hwan would have become a ‘drifter.’”

“Yes.”

Park Si-hwan lay down on the bed provided on one side of the laboratory. Yang Joo-hee and others were busy attaching biometric measurement devices to Park Si-hwan’s forehead and chest.

“I will connect.”

“Confirmed, Mr. Sihwan. Please wake up safely this time too.”

Park Si-hwan nodded.

Park Si-hwan arrived at the room of memories. The doors lined up on either side of the long hallway were all different in size and shape.

He gathered clues by opening several doors. This was the memory of the case patient, Chairman Lee’s mother.

Memories of marriage and childbirth as a child and smiling happily while holding my young son… I guess I didn’t know that the son I loved so much would end up here.

(Warning defense mechanism triggered.)

What already?

Park Si-hwan hurriedly hid behind the door. The defense mechanism is a signal sent from the patient’s brain that detects abnormalities and attacks to drive them out. And the target of attack was mainly ‘Utopia’s’ risk management team.

(Is your defense mechanism too fast? I will deploy Si-hwan’s AI.)

“Yes.”

Park Si-hwan nodded at Yang Joo-hee’s words and looked at the slowly glowing human figure next to him.

“Hello, master.”

The human figure became a silver-haired man. Park Si-hwan looked at him for a moment. What kind of AI subject makes you look so good? Is it a reflection of Yang Joo-hee’s taste?

The silver-haired man squeezed his hand, looked at his body, and opened his mouth as if curious.

“This is what the human body is made of.”

“What’s your name?”

“doesn’t exist. “It has only recently been developed.”

He speaks in a calm voice without pitch and blinks. Moves the body exaggeratedly and exhibits unnatural behavior.

After thinking briefly, Sihwan Park gave the AI a name.

“Are you Chunbaek?”

“Oh, the more unsophisticated your name is, the longer you live, right?”

“As long as the data hub doesn’t break, I live a long time.”

More than my master.

Maybe it’s because it’s artificial intelligence, but it doesn’t make any sense as a joke. Park Si-hwan ignored Chunbaek’s words and nodded toward the outside. The defense mechanism was looking for an intruder by possessing a person from the patient’s past memories.

“So what do you want to do with them?”

“I will solve it. “The master must not be hurt.”

When a sane person gets hurt in ‘Utopia’, his or her spirit in reality suffers a huge blow. And if this damage exceeds a certain level, he or she becomes a ‘drifter’.

“You’re hiding here.”

As Chunbaek stretched out his hand into the air, a gun was created in the air.

“Start debugging.”

The silver-haired Yeonseo Chunbaek held the gun with a faint smile.
