Episode 172:
The news of Lee Se-hee’s contact with China was already known to the Blue House.
The atmosphere at the Blue House upon hearing the news was heavy.
In particular, the president’s expression was both serious and empty.
“They’re going to get the missiles even if we don’t cooperate.”
“….”
“Lee Se-hee contacted China. “A significant amount of weapons flowed in.”
The Blue House was able to find out this fact through its own capabilities, but Lee Se-hee also relayed this information first.
Although it was close to a notification, the President had no choice but to approve it.
but.
How absurd I was after hearing it.
The president also knew that there were signs of internal strife within China. However, Lee Se-hee had already contacted them and sold weapons to both sides.
It was a quick move several steps ahead of them.
“What’s even more surprising is that even the defective products were completely removed.”
The Big Bang series, which is a popular export product, continues to have a defective rate even now. This was due to the uncertainty of the monster’s heart, and how this defect rate was controlled determined the operating profit margin of the company that purchased the license.
Even in Shinsung Group, which had the lowest defect rate, the number of defective products was significant because it produced the largest volume in the world. This was difficult to solve separately, so it was stockpiled, but with amazing resourcefulness, even the inventory was cleared.
And that too for money.
“In the process, they asked if they could purchase Chinese missiles. haha.”
There is no point in further doubting Lee Se-hee’s resourcefulness in receiving all payments in kind rather than yuan.
China will also sell missiles if it has no money.
Cheon Myeong-guk’s expression, who was listening, also became serious.
“Are you allowed to?”
“Of course I said no. “But I won’t be able to last long.”
What Choi Jun-ho wants is clear. If so, you have to give it up. Even if this is pushed around, it is the government that will suffer the loss.
“yes. A decision has to be made.”
The title of the world’s strongest was a title, but it was his ability to single-handedly cause a civil war within China.
The sight of a great nation that was once aiming to become the world’s strongest shakes uncontrollably due to the presence of one person, even if only briefly, made me feel fear.
“What does Director Cheon think?”
“I think selling is a good idea.”
“I guess that’s all there is to it.”
“If it doesn’t sell, it’s even worse… ugh!”
“Are you okay?”
Cheon Myeong-guk grabbed his head. The president was shocked and called a doctor.
“It’s okay.”
But contrary to his words, he continued to moan. He thanked the doctor who came late, saying he was fine and thanking him for coming. The doctor also gave me headache medication after a brief examination.
Cheon Myeong-guk took out the medicine and sighed with a much better expression.
“Thank you for caring me.”
“Is this really okay?”
“yes. “It is called the process of opening a gift.”
This is why Cheon Myeong-guk’s headaches have become more frequent recently.
Simulation is a gift that allows you to draw the future with given information.
As the information was injected, various situations began to appear clearly in his mind at the same time, and Cheon Myeong-guk, who suffered from frequent headaches, realized that this was a sign of opening the gift.
The picture must have been drawn just a moment ago when headache missiles were not sold.
“Did you see a future when you didn’t sell?”
“Superman Choi Jun-ho will not give up and will purchase missiles from various places and take them out like snacks.”
“….”
The president was left speechless by the horrific development that could only be imagined.
Cheon Myeong-guk said as if comforting him.
“It may be nothing more than my delusion. “Don’t worry too much.”
“No, I also imagined that future, so I can’t say it’s a delusion. So what if you sell it?”
“The president is trying his best to control it, but he’s still going to shoot it.”
“….”
The President and Cheon Myeong-guk looked at each other and closed their mouths.
“So this is the answer?”
“yes. “I’m sorry I couldn’t give you a good answer.”
“No, even if I had just listened to what was said, I wouldn’t have been able to cope with the reality that was about to come.”
“sorry.”
The President sighed.
“North Korea is gone, so I don’t know why I’m worried and anxious like I should have been when North Korea was there. Did our previous presidents feel this way when North Korea existed? “You must have suffered a lot, hehe.”
“If they had met Superhuman Choi Jun-ho, they might have considered resigning midway.”
“….”
“Since you are the President, I think you control Superhuman Choi Jun-ho to this extent.”
“Thank you. “You are the only one who understands my hardships.”
The President and Cheon Myeong-guk exchanged glances. It had a lot of meaning in it.
* * *
Things are going smoothly. I wondered if I should buy Chinese missiles from Lee Se-hee, but the president announced his intention to sell them.
The sales volume was only one shot, but one becomes two and two becomes three, so I decided to think positively.
“They said they would provide management for free.”
Anyway, the staff we have now will have to work a little harder, but we can compensate for that through service.
Lately, I feel like I’m really good at speaking well.
I don’t think I could do that.
But public life was public life.
In the process, I said I wanted to purchase the missile that goes the furthest, but was rejected.
Well, it’s because the league’s base may be near the US or in Europe, but that part is a bit disappointing.
This is also something that can change as missiles are used. I decided to think positively.
It goes without saying, but I have no hobby of buying things and keeping them lying around. We will use it as soon as we feel it is necessary.
First of all, in today’s meeting, I achieved half success and half failure.
The warship could not be purchased.
“Ultimately, it has to be done with a yacht.”
If you purchase a warship, the operational radius will be dramatically expanded and missiles can be mounted, but the person who operates it will be a problem.
But that doesn’t mean I can’t start a private military company.
Above all, if multiple people are involved, a hole appears in operational security.
In the end, I had no choice but to give up on purchasing warships.
Still, it’s chicken instead of pheasant.
“I guess I should buy a good one.”
When I expressed this intention, the person I liked the most was Yunhee. I’m already making plans to travel around the world.
why do you like it
“Where should I start when buying a yacht?”
“Are you thinking about that first?”
“of course! “How nice would it be to take care of your brother and go have fun here and there?”
“I’m no good?”
“Hey, if you’re happy, you’re happy too. is not it?”
“Yes, but.”
“Then that’s it.”
“….”
I couldn’t erase my nervous expression.
Either way, Yunhee was smiling.
I can’t stop you.
Well, I guess I can give it a ride later. Or, it would be a good idea to set up a hellish training camp on a deserted island. A place where you have to be strong to come out.
Are you okay?
It was an impromptu idea, but it felt good.
Yun-hee would like it more if she had a hottie as her instructor.
As I thought about torturing my little sister… no, training her, many ideas came to mind.
“however.”
Yunhee, whom I liked, suddenly looked serious.
“huh?”
“Wouldn’t you say something if your brother bought a luxury yacht?”
“Since we can’t hide it, it will be known, right?”
“Then I guess you can criticize other people for being extravagant for no reason?”
As the heat went out, I guess my thoughts went crazy. Because our country is never friendly toward the luxury of wealthy people.
In particular, as monsters appeared and polarization intensified, these views intensified and did not subside.
“Shouldn’t we have to endure that?”
“It’s because I don’t like people yelling at me out of envy. Who knows how to make money off of it? How hard do you work to maintain your skills? “I risk my life every time I hunt monsters.”
What Yoonhee said is right. Still, it’s great. I am also worried that my brother will be criticized.
Rather, Jin Se-jeong expected a different direction.
I don’t know who is right.
Seeing my little sister’s amazing appearance, I thought I should at least order some chicken.
“Still wondering?”
“what?”
“It’s because I feel bad for being criticized right now.”
“huh? “What do you mean?”
Yoonhee looks puzzled.
“Weren’t you worried about me?”
“Not at all.”
To be ashamed. I can sense that you are worried about your brother…
“You are free to be mistaken.”
Suddenly he looks at me and snorts.
“Is it because I’m afraid I’ll get criticized? If you buy a yacht, I’ll wait like a rat. In the meantime, my brother will take all the criticism. “I will ride when public opinion calms down.”
“….”
Well then, that’s right.
* * *
Actually, I don’t care whether I get criticized or not.
Anyway, unless someone can cause harm in front of me, I tend to be insensitive.
Instead, if something bothers me right in front of me, I remember it and take action later.
If you cursed at me, you should think about it when you stand in front of me. If you’re scared, you don’t have to swear.
However, because Yoon-hee was worried, I was worried that my family would be criticized for no reason.
Actually, it doesn’t matter.
“I’m sure you won’t misunderstand?”
In response to my thoughts, Jin Se-jeong spoke as if to dispel my concerns.
“They may be incited, but the public is a collection of many people. Among them, there will be someone who can clearly see through the Adept’s intentions.”
Jin Se-jeong said that my image as being far from luxury also plays a role.
“Perhaps you will properly look into what you are purchasing to go on an expedition?”
“Oh no way.”
No matter how imaginative you are, would you think like that when purchasing a luxury yacht that can be used for cruises?
I thought my intentions wouldn’t be discovered.
“It’s true.”
I thought Jin Se-jeong would be wrong this time.
“You can check it out.”
So I went around looking at several yachts and was finally able to choose one that met my requirements.
And a few days later, news of my yacht purchase began to spread.
At first, bad things were said.
But as time passed, a completely different reaction came out than I expected.
-Choi Jun-ho purchases a ultra-luxurious yacht! Are they making a lot of money and living extravagantly like other super people?
-If you are the best in the world, you deserve it. Only when they see success will more people dream of becoming an awakened person.
-The success of superhumans is a great stimulus to awakened people. ㅇㅈ
– LOL Who is the naive person here who says Choi Jun-ho is being extravagant?
-A yacht worth more than 100 billion won is not a luxury yacht?
-It’s not like that. Haha, have you forgotten where Choi Jun-ho went recently?
-What do you mean?
-How could you have been to the Kamchatka Peninsula? You probably went on a boat provided by the government. Although it is still a ghost story, there is also a story that Choi Jun-ho went to the island where the Taepyeongmun headquarters was located and wiped it out. So Choi Jun-ho must have realized the importance of boats. They say you can go on an expedition as long as you have a boat.
-Crazy, so you bought a yacht to go out and about?
-Wow I just got goosebumps. I wondered why Choi Jun-ho suddenly bought a yacht, and I immediately understood.
-Really;; They said it was for fun, so I was drawing a question mark and when I saw this, I fell on my knees.
From then on, netizens’ opinions began to be one-sided.
-If this is the case, aren’t all neighboring countries within Choi Jun-ho’s range?
-I’m so scared of the sea monsters that I can’t even walk around, but Choi Jun-ho really has no fear. -Maybe the
sea monsters will run away when they see Choi Jun-ho?
-ㅓㅜㅑ China will be nervous and Japan will be nervous.
-Others get criticized for buying a luxury yacht, but Choi Jun-ho doesn’t believe it at all. It’s a comedy.
-If the villains who are pirating are caught wrong, they will all be punished.
– God Korea, a clean country of pirates!
-Hehe. With this, China, Japan, and Russia will get a taste of Choi Jun-ho…!
Public opinion went as Jin Se-jeong said.
As soon as my intentions were revealed after purchasing the yacht, I couldn’t hide my bewilderment.
“…Isn’t it normal to think of it as extravagance?”
“People are smart. “I judge that the Superhuman’s intentions and how he moves are based on what he has done so far.”
“….”
I can’t say anything about this because everything Jin Se-jeong said is correct.
“Even if I get caught, I have to keep going.”
The reason I bought a yacht in the first place was because it was easy to get around.
I decided to neither confirm nor deny.
Jin Se-jeong also supported me, saying it would be convenient.
I feel at ease.
But you can’t put missiles on a yacht, right?
* * *
While the missile purchase story was progressing smoothly, I was able to hear from Cheon Myeong-guk a story about a Myanmar superhuman who had recently decided to challenge level 9.
“Woo Aye Jjo, who was mentioned last time, is scheduled to come soon.”
“You mean a Myanmar superhuman?”
“That’s right.”
“when are you coming?”
“They say it will arrive in three days.”
U Aye Cho is from a Myanmar minority group and is said to be a hero who achieved the great unification of Myanmar, which was marred by civil war. He raised the status of Myanmar, a weak country, and showed his presence in Southeast Asia. With his excellent hunting performance, he was selected as a superhuman of note by the World Supernatural Association.
From what I’ve heard, he’s a great guy. No, he totally looks like a cartoon character, right?
There aren’t many cases where the rumor and actual personality match. Oh, I don’t even know what to do.
“Superman?”
“yes.”
As I was lost in thought, Cheon Myeong-guk gave me a puzzled look.
“Is there anything that’s holding you back?”
“No, there is none. I thought it was coming from far away. That means the level 9 position is coveted, right?”
“This is probably the goal of all superhumans. And there will be an intention to form a relationship with the Adept.”
How amazing is your relationship with me?
However, Cheon Myeong-guk said that what you see from the inside and what you see from the outside may be different.
Isn’t this a subtle twist?
I thought it was because there was no change in his expression, so I just ignored it.
“It’s not like you have a special desire for fame, right?”
“Since superhumans in Southeast Asia are often ignored, wouldn’t they have a desire to be recognized?”
“I guess so.”
This is a world where discrimination continues even though people say there should be no discrimination.
I have to see it with my own eyes and judge.
“You’re brave, by the way. “Seeing as they are willing to risk their lives to take the level 9 test.”
“haha! …Yes?”
Cheon Myeong-guk, who had been answering with a smile, shouted with a shocked expression. You have a nice voice.
“why?”
“What does it mean to risk your life?”
“It’s a test of your skills, so of course you have to risk your life.”
“I’ve never heard anything like that!”
“Have you never done it?”
“Yes!No!”
“I guess I thought you knew.”
Can anyone become level 9? You become a competent person with that level of qualification.
No, but isn’t your life at risk when sparring?
Oh, you must be prepared to risk your life even if it means nothing.
I thought so.
