- Chapter 124: Where Are Such Good People In The World? (4)
There were rumors that there would be a big quarrel between the two schools, such as a clash between Cheonmu Palace and Seongjin, and Sai Yan and Bao Lin-en dropping out, but it did not actually happen. Seongjin’s students proceeded with the exchange meeting without any problems, and Cheonmu went about daily life very peacefully.
“Tsk.” A man looked outside with a disapproving expression. ‘I thought it was going to be a big deal… It’s boring.’
It had been a long time since he had seen something interesting, but it didn’t seem that way. In the turbulent situation, Rongcheng, who was also the 8th-star teacher of Taehemun and the director of Heaven’s Army’s research institute, looked down at the documents with a bewildered expression. ‘It would be nice if I could concentrate on research at this time… Even the Army is unnecessarily prudent.’
It was a fake identity created in preparation for various situations. When, by any chance, the institute was known to the outside world. It was a position to protect Rongcheng, the head of the research institute, but it was also useful when a problem broke out. However, since there had been no problems over the years, it was just a stumbling block for Rongcheng, making him do useless work twice a week.
‘In the first place, there are people who will touch the heavenly army in China…’
It was not bad to give unconventional support to research, but it was dissatisfying to make it cumbersome by being so needlessly cautious. In particular, as a researcher, he couldn’t understand why human experimentation, which would be the most effective for immortality research, was blocked because of a fuss that occurred in the past.
‘What do you know about research that makes you talk so much? That’s why I don’t like the upper heads.’
While Rongcheng was doing his work, grumbling for a while, a knock was heard from outside. “Who are you?”
“Growth.” It was a short answer to a blunt question. Recognizing who it was, Rongcheng frowned once, then let go and opened the door.
Rongcheng then found himself asking calmly at the appearance of Tao Fei, the Master of the Heavens Gate. “What is the lord up to here?”
“I have come to entrust you with something.”
“…I remember that you said that you would not take on anything other than assigned duties.”
There were quite a few Hunters who came in as teachers to receive support for their research or training in any educational institution, and Rongcheng was also in that state. That was why he hadn’t bothered to touch Tao Fei, but today he had suddenly come to him like this.
“I don’t want to force someone who doesn’t want to do it either… Due to the circumstances of the exchange meeting, there is no choice.”
“If it’s an exchange meeting… Are you Seongjin’s cadet?”
“Yes.”
Rongcheng frowned at Tao Fei’s answer. “If that’s the case, we can leave it to the other teachers…”
“I went through all the other teachers. Now all that’s left is you.”
“Yes?”
How many teachers were there at the Gate of Heaven, and had he already run through them all?
‘No. What do you mean you skimmed it in the first place?’
When Rongcheng was making an ambiguous expression. Tao Fei sighed with a troubled expression. “If it was Kang Yoo-sik, you would have heard of it, right?”
“Ah… You developed that magic core?”
“Yes. He asked for a place to discuss with the other teachers… Everything is over except for you.”
“Does saying that everything is over mean that education is also over?”
At Rongcheng’s question, Tao Fei made a strange expression. “Should I say that my education is over… … Rather, I would say it is a different kind of education.”
Rongcheng found his response interesting. One could see what an outrageous genius he was in, that he had already discovered a new system called the magic core, but was that enough to teach all the teachers at the Gates of Heaven?
‘If memorizing useless things isn’t my hobby, it must mean that I have a good understanding of all magic….’
It seemed that the rumors that he might surpass the Archmage, a rare genius, were not exaggerated. Rongcheng, who had previously recalled the story that the Emperor of Heaven was looking at him as a researcher, pondered for a moment before nodding his head. “All right. If it’s Kang Yoo-sik, I’m interested in it.”
“Yes. I’ll send you this way, so don’t do anything rude.”
Tao Fei, paying attention to Rongcheng, left, and after a while, Kang Yoo-sik came to the room. “Nice to meet you. It is called Kang Yoo-sik.”
“Longcheng. come in.”
“Excuse me.” Kang Yoo-sik, who came inside, looked around, and Rongcheng took a look at it calmly.
‘Certainly, it’s not unusual to be called a normal cadet….’
The magic he possessed was also magic, but his musculature was also unusual. Because Rongcheng was well-informed about the human body, it was clear how outstanding Kang Yoo-sik’s potential was. ‘If you use this guy as a test bed….’
The time when Rongcheng’s eyes flashed on the hard-to-see experiment table. Suddenly, the folder in one hand caught his eye. “What is that?”
“Ah. These are the materials I prepared to show you when I discuss with Mr. Rongcheng.”
“If it is something needed to discuss with me… Life magic?”
At Rongcheng’s question, Kang Yoo-sik nodded his head with a shy expression. “Yes. I don’t have much knowledge, so I’m a little sloppy… Still, in order to be taught, I thought I had to clearly show my skills, so I decided to write it.”
“Hoo. Can I see it?”
“Sure.”
Kang Yoo-sik happily handed over the paperwork, and Rongcheng accepted it with an interesting expression on his face. ‘I made it in a hurry, so there’s nothing special about it, but….’
Still, since the famous genius made it, it could be something different. Thinking so, Rongcheng turned over the papers and skimmed them with the slightest expectation. ‘Hmm. It seems that the word sloppy wasn’t a lie. If you commit a wrong from the basics like this… Tsk.’
It played a role to some extent, but if one were to look at it closely, there were too many wrong parts. Still, the point of view or topic was quite interesting, so Rongcheng clicked his tongue inwardly and kept flipping through it.
‘Keep life force outside? What nonsense… Making and maintaining a link with the main body through the magic core?’
At first, it looked like checking for an incorrect answer, but Rongcheng turned over the documents as if possessed by Kang Yoo-sik’s knowledge. Although the detailed techniques and core parts were still wrong, some ideas and perspectives that applied magic cores were at a level that broke the existing common sense.
‘This… Maybe even in the study of immortality if it’s done well….’
At that moment Rongcheng’s eyes lit up when he realized how extraordinary the document in his hand was. “Teacher?”
“Oh, well. What is it?”
“You read it and didn’t say anything… Did you not like it?”
“That is….” Rongcheng glanced at the papers, pondered for a moment, then spoke with a serious expression. “Certainly, there are still many areas missing. There is not one or two places to fix.”
“As expected….”
Seeing Kang Yoo-sik slightly depressed, Rongcheng slightly raised the corner of his mouth. “If it’s okay with you, I’ll fix the missing parts. It will take a long time to do it alone.”
“Is that true?”
“Since it’s a material I’ve been preparing for a long time, I have to do this as well. How is it?”
At this, Kang Yoo-sik nodded at Rongcheng’s subtle question. “Rather, it is something I would like to ask. Thank you very much!”
“What is gratitude… I’ll take a look at it overall today, so come back tomorrow.”
“All right.” At this, Yoo-sik nodded and went outside, and Rongcheng looked at him from the back and raised the corner of his mouth. ‘Even if you’re talented, if you’re stupid, there’s no answer….’
This was why guys who were good at research didn’t become great. Rongcheng laughed at Kang Yoo-sik and immediately read the rest of the document. ‘As expected, one idea… Hmm?’
Rongcheng’s eyes trembled faintly as he looked through the papers, and when he turned the next page, he swallowed. And from then on, he read the spell as if he forgot to breathe. The moment he read all the way to the last chapter, a shudder arose throughout his body.
‘This is it. This is it….’
It was still quite clunky, but with a little refinement, one could reach the realm of immortality! Realizing how absurd Kang Yoo-sik’s talent was, Rongcheng was stunned and looked at the documents in agony.
‘If Lee Gecheon-gun gets known and recruits Kang Yoo-sik….’
The research on immortality would be many times faster than now, but instead, his place may disappear. Rongcheng’s eyes glowed grimly as he looked down at the papers, and then he clenched his fists tightly. ‘This… Only I should know.’ Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse – “NovelMultiverse dot com”
The only person who can recognize the potential of this document was someone as well-versed in life magic as he was, or a monster like the Archmage. Realizing that he had to finalize it before he became known to others, Rongcheng quickly transcribed the paper and then subtly changed it
He still had his quirkiness, but he would never be as shocked as he was when he saw it. ‘Still, it will help you practice the basics, so this is an appropriate deal.’
It was much more conscientious than just pretending not to know at all. And even if he did the research alone in the first place, wasn’t there any guarantee that he would have fully brought out the potential hidden in this technique?
On the contrary, he may have to be thankful that he found an invention that might have disappeared into the dark side of history. Rongcheng focused on transcribing and twisting the documents while washing away his inferiority towards Kang Yoo-sik.
[Satisfying debt relationship conditions]
[Checking the registration of the debtor ‘Rongcheng’, determining the debt grade as C.]
The debt had been completed on its own. “Wow. That bastard has no conscience….”
Kang Yoo-sik, who was looking at the whole process, made an absurd expression. In other words, one technique had already exceeded the level of complete dissolution and its potential. Even after looking into it, one would only get a C grade.
He was told by Zhao Xinku and Tao Fei that he was an egoist who only knew himself, but seeing the results like this, he felt a bit dumbfounded.
‘This bastard is like stealing skills and stats.’
Kang Yoo-sik looked at Rongcheng with a sense of joy as he was stealing data, and then suddenly remembered one thing. ‘At this level….’
[Debtor ‘Rongcheng’ enters compulsory execution. Abnormal state ‘Obsessive compulsive disorder’.]
[The debtor ‘Rongcheng’ is going into compulsory execution. Abnormal status ‘inferiority’.]
[All debts of the debtor ‘Rongcheng’ have been paid.]
“Ugh….”
On the other side of the screen, Rongcheng frowned slightly, then shook his head nervously before moving the papers again. ‘This is perfect for guys like that.’
Originally, status ailments only applied for a certain amount of time, but some effects could affect you permanently if one were to use the situation and personality well. As a positive example, Beast Queen Lee Ha-rin, whose personality changed actively, was such a case, and Rongcheng would probably become more nervous than he was now.
‘What. Still, since they have an innate ability, I guess I’ll manage to keep going with my research.’
Li Mei and Tao Fei. In addition to this, it was a subtle technique that made people mistakenly believe that it was the great law of immortality created by giving Ban Hye-young little by little advice. In reality, it was a contradictory structure that could never be achieved, like adding water to a bottomless poison, and all materials that could be applied to research were set at high unit prices.
Rongcheng seemed to have his eyes set on him, so unless he changed the head of the lab, he would blow up the entire budget. ‘And through the distribution of the materials, look for other hideouts in the army of heaven….’
A skillful technique created with various situations in mind. It was hard to recognize from Rongcheng’s eyes, and even if one were to make it well and complete it, there was no problem because it would be easily canceled by Lion Purification.
Kang Yoo-sik caught his breath after confirming that it was neatly finished. ‘Is this enough to finish my work here?’
If possible, he would like to directly hit the heavenly army, but he needed to look at that more carefully. This was because this side would rather suffer if one were to clumsily attack a group that could be considered the nation itself.
‘Besides… It’s all the more the case if the Black Dragon is behind it.’
Kang Yoo-sik frowned as he recalled what he had heard from Zhao Xinku about the actual ruler of the Heaven’s Army, the Black Hulk. He would have thought that the official who barely knew his name before returning was the one who controlled the heavenly army. He knew that the influence of the Black Dragon Master reached all over the world, but he never expected that it would be this large.
‘The magic stone black market that I was dealing with was really new blood….’
At the time, it seemed like a core business, but in reality, it may have been one of many. Kang Yoo-sik, realizing how gigantic the crouching enemy was, put on a calm expression.
‘I don’t know if I should move more actively.’
Guilds, countries, and groups from the underworld that were assumed to be related to the Black Dragon Lord in the past should be thoroughly investigated. Kang Yoo-shik, who slightly modified his future policy, erased the video of Rongcheng he was frantically copying and stood up.
‘Whatever it is, this time ends here.’
However, the next time he would come back, there would be no Heavenly Army left in China. Kang Yoo-sik, who made such a resolution, stood up from his seat to prepare to leave.
* * *
Beijing airport after the exchange meeting schedule was over.
People couldn’t help but flock to the existing characters, but even Saiyan and Bao Linsen, who were dropping out, and were becoming a hot topic, had already appeared. As a result, people gathered at the airport until it was on the brink of paralysis, and Zhao Xinku smiled bitterly at the sight of it being controlled by airport security officers.
“It’s good that you told me in advance. I can’t imagine that there will be more people than when I entered the country….”
“I know, right? I was a little surprised too.” Zhao Xinku, who was looking at the crowd around him, glanced at Yan while standing next to Kim Jin-hyuk in the back, then looked at Kang Yoo-sik.
“Sister… No, please take good care of the Saiyan disciple. I am still immature….”
“You don’t have to worry about that part. People like that are used to it.”
He hadn’t made a debt relationship yet, but it was not unusual to pick up a quote. Kang Yoo-sik, who reassured her with a smile, secretly sent a signal so that others could not see it. Then, recognizing it, Zhao Xinku linked instead of his head and slightly raised his voice. “Cadet Kang Yoo-sik. Do you have any plans to transfer to Cheonmu?”
The remarks that erupted in a public place drew the attention of reporters and crowds around them, and Zhao Xinku opened his mouth as if he had been waiting. “If you transfer to Cheonmu, it will be an S-class item… No, I am willing to give you a skill book as well.”
The entire airport was shaken by Zhao Xinku’s declaration. It was not even a guild, it was an S-class skill book just by moving schools. Of course, moving the affiliation to Cheonmu Palace was tantamount to a memorandum to work in China, but even considering that, it was an absurd condition.
Yoo-sik shook his head slowly. “I’m sorry… In my opinion, there is no change.”
“…Okay. However, if you change your mind, please contact me.” Xinku lowered his head slightly, and Kang smiled contentedly inside while putting on his outwardly calm expression.
‘With this, I’ll have two S-class skill books.’
Even if one didn’t have the actual item, they could extract something similar in value. Tao Fei, who was watching from behind her, muttered a small murmur at the sight of Kang Yoo-sik smiling inside her. “I’m going to fall down my spine….”
Leaving Cheonmu Palace behind, Kang Yoo-sik approached Li Mei and Lao Chang, who were standing next to him. “You have been through a lot. Lord Ihwa Dan.”
“No. What did I do….”
“Escorting is not an easy task. You went through a lot of trouble traveling with me.”
“…Thank you.” Lao Chang tried to bow deeply again, but Kang Yoo-sik reached out his right hand before him. “Let’s do this last.”
At Kang Yoo-sik’s unexpected request for a handshake, Lao Chang looked at him with a surprised expression for a moment, then smiled slightly and accepted. “See you next time.”
“I’ll be looking forward to it.”
He was, after all, a really important person who will be staying in Korea. Kang Yoo-sik turned his head and looked at Li Mei, who was standing quietly. “I’m sorry I couldn’t treat you properly.”
Seeing Li Mei make an apologetic expression, Kang Yoo-sik smiled and waved his hand. “It happened, but there was nothing I could do about it. Rather, I’m worried that you’re worried because of me.”
In reality, she often saw her face because she was making magic, but Kang Yoo-sik spoke naturally as if it had never happened. Seeing that, Li Mei smiled softly and shook her head. “It can’t be. Rather, it gave me strength.”
If it had not been for Kang Yoo-sik, they would have been destroyed by the Heaven’s Army at any time. After hearing about the power of the Heavenly Forces through Zhao Xinku, Li Mei felt even more grateful, and at the same time felt sorry for Kang Yoo-sik.
‘I’m so pathetic myself…’
Thinking of the nervousness hidden behind her composure, Li Mei felt guilty for the way she had left everything to her. Little by little, the smile on her lips was about to disappear from Li Mei’s appearance, Kang Yoo-sik noticed what was inside and moved forward. “Li Mei.”
“Yes, yes?”
“It’s not like I won’t see you again. If you’re sad like that, I’m rather troubled.”
As the story was set in advance, Kang Yoo-sik, who held Li Mei’s hands, spoke with various meanings.
“Smile. That looks good.”
Everything went well in its own way. Li Mei’s eyes widened before she smiled. “Yes. Okay.” With this, she also showed that she had a deep relationship with the two S-class hunters of the White Lotus Guild, so she achieved all her goals.
Kwok!
“Hmm?” Li Mei’s hand reversely grasps his hand as he tried to pull it off. The moment Kang Yoo-sik looked ahead, wanting to create a better atmosphere, Li Mei hugged him as hard as she could.
“Huh….”
“I-that….”
“What are you looking at? Take it!”
The sound of shutters echoed randomly from all sides of him, and Kang Yoo-sik’s thoughts stopped for a moment at the sight of Li Mei hugging him. A gentle hug that came completely out of the way.
“I… … That….” Kang Yoo-sik, wondering what the hell this was, tried to ask, but Li Mei first put her mouth to her ear. “This is enough… to make it look like an intimate relationship, yes?”
“That, yes…?” In response to Kang Yoo-sik’s answer, Li Mei pulled her head back and smiled softly and strangely bewitching.
“That’s fortunate.” As if satisfied with that, Li Mei lowered her head slightly and walked out of the airport, and Kang Yoo-sik looked at her from the back.
Then, with her wry smile, she muttered: ‘Ah, I shouldn’t do anything carelessly.’
It was a bit late of a realization. Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse – “NovelMultiverse dot com”
