Episode 170
: I thought purchasing missiles would be more difficult than I thought.
I thought they would gladly sell it.
Is it because you really don’t trust me?
“Don’t do that, just sell it.”
“Hmm! “I don’t think it’s something we can decide right away, so I’ll talk to experts in various fields.”
He said there was a lot to discuss, including sales volume and management costs.
“Still, President, you think positively, right?”
“….”
I didn’t get the answer I wanted.
President, how many relationships have you built so far? You make people feel bad.
I prodded a few more times, but in the end I couldn’t get the answer I wanted. I knew they wouldn’t listen willingly, but I couldn’t help but feel regretful that I had to put it off.
Well, how can I change my mind?
“Then let’s talk.”
After finishing the meeting, the president got up and ran away, and Cheon Myeong-guk, who had been watching quietly, spoke as if to comfort me.
“Please understand Mr. President. Since all issues have to be dealt with comprehensively, there are some parts where it is difficult to immediately grant the request of the master.”
“Chief.”
“yes.”
“Do you agree, Director?”
“….”
Both the President and the Chief of Staff are just plain disappointing.
I thought that getting missiles would be harder than I thought.
Looks like the plan went awry.
When I purchased it, I wanted to start right away by spending a few money on it.
Still, since I had made room for it, I thought I would try to persuade him again next time.
“Let’s just keep that in mind for now.”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
“That’s it, what do you mean there are other issues?”
“I heard that Yu Hao Adept was appointed to level 9.”
“yes.”
“Currently, we are receiving inquiries from many adepts from other countries. The main content is that I want to be recognized as level 9 by the adept.”
I still don’t understand.
Why on earth would Level 9 hang himself like this?
I said I would accept it if I received it and deserved it, so it would be right to take it if there is a benefit to be gained from it.
“I remember you said it last time.”
“yes.”
“What are the details?”
“If Choin-nim says it’s okay, I’d like to prepare a place for you. What do you think?”
“Any time doesn’t matter to me.”
Level 9 will be an opportunity open to all superhumans.
Of course, not everyone will be level 9.
Yu Hao has never competed with me, but he is a member of the Ten Superhumans and his achievements are sufficient. Above all, he is the person who has to turn China around on my behalf, so he is qualified to be level 9.
Level 9 will be more effective than level 8 due to the Chinese nature of risking their reputation.
Cheon Myeong-guk’s expression brightened at my acceptance.
“Then, I will select a turn and invite you.”
“Have you decided on the order?”
“I plan to consider national interests, but I plan to invite the most symbolic person first.”
“Symbolism?”
“yes. Myanmar’s superhuman U Aye Cho. “He is a hero called the hope of Myanmar.”
“I’ve heard of it.”
Myanmar, a weak country in Southeast Asia, was able to show off its presence with the emergence of U Aye Cho. In particular, the story of how U Aye Cho, a member of an ethnic minority, stopped the long-running civil war by insisting on grand unification is passed down like a legend.
Well, legends are cool when they’re legends. I thought I might be disappointed if I saw it in front of me.
Isn’t it a wonderful legend when I saw it without even knowing the Yongyong next to me?
If you see it in person, you’ll be shocked.
[What’s wrong with me?]
Not knowing what you look like is a very big problem.
[Is that really annoying?]
I just need to know.
By the way, if Cheon Myung-guk decides, it should be adjusted accordingly.
“All right. “Let’s coordinate the schedule.”
“thank you.”
“Instead, please help me persuade him when we discuss missile sales.”
“…I’ll try my best.”
The answer feels awkward.
Still, I thought it was better than pretending not to know.
“Are there any other issues?”
“And it’s about Rep. Kim Gwang-seong…”
I was puzzled about speaking in the absence of the President, but I was told to understand that he would be uncomfortable hearing the story of a colleague who has been with him for decades.
Well, if that’s your friend, I understand.
I also felt uneasy when I thought about Oh Jong-yeop. Now that I think about it, it’s been a while since I’ve seen him, so I’ll have to go see him sometime soon.
According to Cheon Myeong-guk, China also happened to be involved in the Kim Gwang-seong case. In order to kill me, Kim Gwang-seong used all available slush funds to hire the Black Reaper and purchase hunter killers, and it was China that actively supported this.
If something happens, everyone is involved.
“The President is very sorry.”
“For all that, missile sales have been stubborn.”
“I guess that’s a bit….”
“I’ll forgive you for Kim Gwang-seong’s case, so you can’t ask me to sell you missiles, right?”
“….”
That’s not possible.
“Anyway, it’s China’s doing.”
They said that if they had a chance to kill me, they would do whatever it takes to kill me, and that’s exactly what they did.
With this, I can act without hesitation.
I have no regrets about China. I am giving back as much as China has given to me.
In times like this, it would have been nice to have missiles. Pretend it was a mistake and press the fire button…
“Superman.”
“yes.”
“That’s why the president’s worries have no choice but to deepen.”
“Oh, did it come out in your heart again?”
“It came out very clearly.”
I really need to reflect on this.
“It’s just my inner thoughts. Please believe me.”
“I believe it.”
“….”
Disbelief was clearly visible on his face.
It feels like the missile has moved further away.

After talking at the Blue House, I went to see Lee Se-hee for the first time in a long time.
“how is it?”
Lee Se-hee, who said that her skin became sensitive for a while due to the North Korean invasion, did not stop bragging about her skin, saying that she did her best to take care of it after returning to Seoul.
Well, from what I can see, it’s just as good now as it was then, so I don’t see much of a difference. If I said it didn’t seem to be effective, I wouldn’t have heard good things about it, so I answered positively and moved on.
This is proof of the growth of one’s personal skills. Anyway.
Since I wasn’t there for any special purpose, we talked about what was going on.
Lee Se-hee said that analysis of boost ingredients is underway and the development of gift imitation products to increase the attack power of awakened people is also gaining momentum.
Gift imitation products are models for dealing with increasingly stronger monsters.
I and the government’s Shinsung Group invested separately to create it, and we agreed to research a form that imitates the Gift in order to maximize attack power and cut through the monster’s shield and skin.
As we talked, I started to think that I had been attacked.
“Rep. Kim Gwang-seong’s relationship with China will further ignite anti-China sentiment. “Because I touched Junho and no one else.”
“Are you going to intensify anti-China sentiment just because you touched me?”
“Yes, the pride that Junho brings to the people is enormous. In fact, the opinion that Junho should be treated as a villain has decreased. “This means that Junho’s pride has grown beyond the risks he brings.”
And with a smile on his face, he said that the thing that was most popular due to my appearance was the Gukppong video.
The majesty of the K-superhuman that made even teenage superhumans tremble when Maxim Geddes visited.
“….”
That was a video I also saw. This is where I realized that it could be fun to rearrange the facts I already knew.
Gukppong is a must-have wherever you go, but Korean Gukppong has a unique, pungent taste.
“Currently, China cannot interfere in Korea, so we can just go our separate ways.”
“Are there any more inquiries about the Big Bang series?”
“In the meantime, they were making inquiries. “I made excuses and refused.”
Shinsung Group’s public sanctions are still in progress.
I thought he was losing money because of me, but Lee Se-hee said that wasn’t the case.
If so, I’m glad.
Anyway, I thought things were going really fun.
“And I heard you had pets.”
“Oh, doggy?”
“Dog? “Yoonhee said it was Yebbi.”
“Isn’t a dog better?”
“….”
Lee Se-hee answered with silence. There was another pro-Yepipa here.
Aren’t dogs more affectionate and friendly?
It is sad that this naming sense is not understood.
“That’s a monster.”
“Really? “Did you succeed in taming it?”
“I was lucky.”
“and! That’s amazing! “If we can tame monsters, we can be safer from monsters in the future.”
That would be a good thing if it worked out the way it did. It’s not something I can pass on to others, though.
In fact, it was a case where the timing was so smooth that the dog felt puzzled.
There was no hostility characteristic of monsters towards humans, and there was no violence. Neither I nor Yongyong could figure out the reason, so I thought it wouldn’t be easy for another case to come up.
You can find out the reason step by step later.
“And speaking of China.”
“yes.”
If Yu Hao becomes active, China’s interior will also be engulfed in a huge vortex of chaos.
Then, neighboring countries will have an opportunity. If you let Lee Se-hee know about that opportunity, she will take it in stride.
“Sooner or later, when things get noisy, an opportunity will arise.”
“What if it’s a chance…?”
“Chaos in China.”
“…!”
Lee Se-hee looks surprised.
Actually, that’s all I know.
The rest is because Yu Hao moves to the best of his ability.
With Lee Se-hee’s abilities, she will be able to do it better than what I’m telling you.
“At that time, please support Wei Hao as much as you can. Then you can have a lot of fun.”
“Yes, Thanks.”
“you’re welcome.”
Since I received a gift from over there, all I can do is give it back.
Of course, there is more than just one gift in the gift package.
Giving back more than what you received is the love of a neighbor.

At the same time that anti-China sentiment was intensifying in Korea, confusion was growing in China due to the launch of missiles on the Kamchatka Peninsula.
In particular, Russia took a strong stance.
Although there was no damage on the Kamchatka Peninsula, an explanation was requested as the missile was launched into its own territory.
As the atmosphere of war between countries was created during the war against monsters, it was China that became urgent.
In the end, the Chinese government expressed its opinion that ‘the missile was launched into Kamchatka not to attack Russia, but to strike the league base.’
Between Russia and the league, they chose not to get involved with Russia.
The League may be the enemy of the world, but Russia is still a member of the international community.
China’s explanation did not stop there.
They pointed out that I was the culprit who hijacked the missile authority.
In other words, they are denying that it was their fault.
I was the one who suddenly launched the missile. I haven’t even bought a single missile yet.
Hidden here was China’s struggle to avoid becoming entangled with the league.
It is visible that they are trying to withdraw from the war with the league.
It seems to be true that Western countries, including the United States, are trying to strengthen their national power while waging war with the League.
Where are you going to go alone? The league is a public enterprise for the world, so we must work together.
“China is trying to shift all responsibility to the superhuman.”
Jin Se-jeong briefly clicked his tongue and said.
As he said, China claimed that it was I who seized the missile authority, killed the standing committee member, and killed the Chinese superman.
I took this opportunity to strongly condemn that I should be defined as a villain.
I’m so scared of this that my limbs are shaking.
Anyone who sees him will think he is a Cheolcheon supporter.
‘…is this the enemy?’
If you think about it, they did do more than they said.
I never thought of him as an enemy to that extent.
Well, being pointed out as an enemy by someone is something I’m used to.
“It’s your responsibility, what does the team leader think?”
“First of all, even if it is the work of a superhuman, you must never admit it. “We need to bring China in.”
“How do you mean?”
“First of all, when I looked at the explanation, I thought it was really urgent in China. If you see it hanging around holding the superhuman in its mouth. We need to actively take advantage of that. The words are very different. “As it is clear that the missile struck the Kamchatka Peninsula, China’s radius of action has narrowed and you have become free.”
Does that happen? I’m not sure.
I wondered if Yu Hao had done something bigger than I thought because he could be put on the defensive with just one missile.
“The most important thing is your doctor’s will, right? What do you want to do with China?”
I honestly have no idea. I thought that if I gave the evidence to Yu Hao and threw it away, they would kill each other on their own, so I tried to just watch quietly.
But China handed me the ball, so it was my turn.
Most people won’t believe these claims anyway because they are unreasonable, but those who will believe them will believe them.
“How about ignoring it?”
“It’s okay to ignore it. If you leave it alone to talk, it will calm down on its own.”
“If there is a better way, you can tell me.”
“Actually, the best thing is to completely bury the opponent in the mud. “So that you can’t even think about escaping.”
“Is that possible?”
“Yes, it’s easy.”
Jin Se-jeong continued speaking with sparkling eyes.
As expected, staying still doesn’t suit Jin Se-jeong’s temperament. Same goes for me.
I decided to follow Jin Se-jeong’s wishes.
The next day I held a press conference. I thought it would be better to reveal my thoughts rather than just ignore it.
However, the number of reporters who gathered was enormous, exceeding my expectations.
It is said that this issue is receiving a lot of attention. If it is true, it means that I have not only stirred up China but also caused enormous damage.
“Let the press conference begin. First of all, we would like to clarify that China’s opinions are all rumors without evidence. I hope that peace will come to the world and that China and Russia will maintain peace and not go to war. “If there is a role I can play here, I will not hesitate.”
“….”
Somehow, none of the reporters seemed to believe me when I said I wanted peace.
This is great. I hope for real peace.
Why is there such a thing? A strong military power acts as a deterrent to war.
Why would I want to purchase missiles?
Of course, it’s not a deterrent… it’s just a personal use, so this doesn’t fit the example.
Anyway, since I have a lot of power, the fact that I don’t get into trouble can be seen as a deterrent.
After briefly expressing my opinion, I took questions from reporters.
Without exaggerating, all the reporters gathered raised their hands. I checked with my superhuman vision and gave the floor to the reporter who raised his hand first.
“China pointed out Choi Jun-ho as the main culprit in the attack on the Kamchatka Peninsula. “What do you think about this?”
“There has never been a seizure of missile authority as claimed by China. “If you have evidence, just present it.”
“Do you have any intention of presenting evidence?”
I thought so.
It is natural for the side who claims to have done something in the world to provide evidence, but strangely, Korea has demanded evidence from those who say they did not commit the crime.
We anticipated all of this and prepared evidence.
“I was heading to the Kamchatka Peninsula at that time.”
As evidence, I provided my alibi of being on the yacht.
The reporters murmured at my words. This may be because the Kamchatka Peninsula is where Chinese missiles landed.
“So your destination was the Kamchatka Peninsula?”
“That’s right. To be precise, we were conducting a joint operation with the Chinese side.”
Because Yuhao can be said to be on the Chinese side. It’s not wrong.
Just not on the Chinese government side.
It’s a play on words, but that’s something the Chinese government just has to prove.
First, I presented the evidence. Of course, you have no choice but to trust my words more.
In the end, what China wants is to say that it messed with the league, not Russia, but then place the blame on me. It is a struggle to avoid becoming entangled with the league with minimal damage.
If so, just gently crush that intention.
I gently hugged the angry China, saying I didn’t want to get involved.
“With the help of the Chinese side, we were able to preemptively strike the league base, and in the process, we were able to kill Gemanai, a member of the league’s 12 signs.”
I emphasized how much help China provided in answering questions from reporters.
In the process, he praised China’s missile power and precision strikes.
In fact, they all ran away and I took care of it myself, but I’m a big person, so I gave China half the credit.
“I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the Chinese side for accepting the misunderstanding and providing full support to the bombing of the league base.”
China will take care of the rest.
