Choices and investments

"What is it?"

"If I go, it makes me feel weird again. Just tell him you didn't see him today."

Ghost hits his hand and disappears into the ground.

Il-hyun, who doesn't know English, scratches his head and heads down.

I took the elevator in the building on the left and went down to the basement where the research facility was located.

There were a lot of researchers coming and going, and there were a lot of high-tech equipment and computers in this huge facility.

I had to grasp one passing employee and ask him how wide and complex he was.

"I heard you were looking for me. Where can I go?"

"Oh, Team Leader, you're over there."

A research team member who recognized the face of Il-hyun pointed to the direction.

Along the way he was told, Il-hyun found a familiar face.

Chief of Izzies' research team, Choi Eun-chae.

She was wearing a white robe, confronting four other researchers and touring the experimental site.

"Oh, you're here!"

When I saw the upcoming sunrise, I was touched and the researchers who were watching took their place.

After the first impressive encounter, the two of them greeted each other lightly.

And when she suddenly asked why she called herself here, she smiled and said with pride.

"I have some good news."

"Good news...?"

"Yes! For all of us. Well... where did Ghost go?"

"I can't feel the pain."

Il-hyun made some excuses for Ghost.

But I found out that Choi Hyuk was lying at once.

I don't know who's fooling you.

"Hmph, tell me if you don't come by tomorrow, I'm going to blow up the EMP. If you win last time and take the new coat, you have to keep your promise."

After listening to her, Il-hyun suddenly laughed.

He lost another odd bet.

In fact, Ghost not only made a bet with Choi Hyuk, but also with his teammates, including Hyun-hyun, and the odds were remarkable.

Of course, in a bad direction.

Lee Hyun seemed to have a tendency to fight endlessly with information he wasn't sure about.

I mean, sometimes it's really good to win.

"Anyway! First of all, we need to talk about the people here."

Leading the way, Choi Hyuk said.

Somehow, her voice was slightly buzzing.

After a while, the two walked into a large enclosed space.

Among his many complex facilities, a dazzling, poisonous object came into his eyes.

At first glance, a thin, thin object that looked like a glass rod was placed on the device, emitting a white glow.

Il-hyun was able to instinctively figure out what it was.

"This is..."

"That's right. Core debris."

A shard of ether core that Il-hyun, who was asked by the research team, handed over a few times.

An elongated rod made of core debris was shining brightly as the ether was being handed over through the supply.

It's like seeing a core fresh from the inside of a monster.

"Obviously, the core was never physically breakable. until Mr. Il-hyun showed up. I don't know how it's possible, but once broken, these core fragments are weakened, easily deformed, by losing their internal power, the ether."

Il-hyun nods at Choi Hyuk's words.

Until then, it was a fact I already knew.

"And if you inject ether here again like this... would you try to put it down with a sword?"

At her sudden request, Il-hyun stumbled.

"It's going to break?"

"I don't care."

When he speaks out of favor, Il-hyun pulls out his sword and raises one arm high.

And hit it hard.

Ka 'ang!

"What...?"

The thin rod remained intact without a scratch.

Of course, the iron didn't work, and even the monster's upper skin didn't split easily.

Rather, the hand of Il-hyun was small.

"Amazing, isn't it? The more ether you inject, the more intense the curing reaction is. It's excellent in shock absorption, and its strength outweighs any object that's ever been found."

"This... is amazing?"

Said Il-hyun, who was truly admired.

It was a huge discovery.

Honestly, he took it for the first time and studied it, and he thought there might be some practical tricks.

But I found a use I didn't even think of.

That too, between this short time.

I didn't mean to hear the world's best research team in this industry.

"But we still have a long way to go. No matter how much ether you inject into a broken core fragment, it's going to scatter. It's unstable, so you can't hold the ether like you used to. like pouring water into a jar that's already broken."

Choi Hyeong-jae said boldly.

It was a remarkable discovery, but there were still many problems.

The complete form of the core contained a large amount of ether perfectly, but the broken core fragment did not.

"Even if you keep the ether in the supply like this, it becomes unstable from the inside because it's clumped together. It's not just one or two problems that need to be solved to put it into practice."

Suddenly, as she spoke, the rod was shattered and scattered on the floor.

The rod, which remained intact with the sword of Il-hyun, was broken endlessly, and sharp fragments splattered all over.

"Ugh! It just broke."

After frowning on the broken rod at a time when it was clogged, she robs a small piece of glass out of her clothes.

Choi Hyuk turned off the ether feeder and resumed speaking.

"It's certainly not too far to see the outcome. But if we can stabilize it and keep the ether output... it's going to be a really cool result. I'll have another Nobel Prize in the next year."

"Haha, I need you to put me in the water. Well, then."

"If you want."

I felt great about her speaking confidently.

"Anyway, because the core fragment was so unstable, I needed a little more samples to continue my research."

I didn't just call him to show him my ongoing research.

It was also good news for each other and it was up to us to talk about it now.

Choi Hyuk pulls out a large box from one corner.

She seemed not so heavy, unlike her size.

I put the metal box hanging up to the password on the table, and I opened it straight up and handed it over to Il-hyun.

"Oh, my God..."

Il-hyun opened her eyes to the beautiful scenery.

The box was filled with a square object that glowed white all over.

A tremendous amount of ether core appeared before his eyes.

"Jules suddenly increased his budget. I tried my best to convince you, but I didn't expect this much, but I think you're interested. You pushed me a lot harder than I expected."

Surprised, he smiled and said,

"The core ranks are not high, they're all E-ranks. For now, stabilization is our number one priority, so it's hard to use a high rank core. So is money, and it's hard to spend."

"Are you saying you want to eat all this... No, you want me to smash it?"

"Yes. Are you in trouble?"

"No, no!"

Il-hyun shook his hand.

I was thankful. There's no way I could be in trouble.

In the meantime, the tail of his mouth slipped up without even knowing me.

I was excited to look at the core, and I turned around and found another item.

Jaw!

Another box was raised in front of Il-hyun's eyes.

"Uh... no way...?"

"There's still one more."

At the words of Choi Hyeon, he looked almost terrified.

Jiing! Virtually an additional text message has flown to his phone.

The settlement of the core of the last B0 gate was now over, and it was his call to find the core.

'Ugh... You're not going to eat it, are you?'

Il-hyun began to worry about overeating for the first time in his life.

*

Before Il-hyun arrived, Lee Soo-yeon was facing Representative Ryu Jintae.

Open! The paperwork is on the desk.

Lee Soo-yeon picked up the documents in front of him.

"This is..."

"Yeah, I looked behind. I know this team leader won't let this happen, but we need to be sure of this."

Ryu Jintae said.

A summoner who completely ignores the stopping power of authenticity.

And other situations.

After hearing all about him, it was a follow-up investigation ordered by Ryu Jin-tae.

He looked at Lee Su-yeon and said again.

"It's completely tidy, as it's been known everywhere. Nothing to do with it, nothing suspicious. That doesn't mean there's any sign of counterfeiting."

"Well... thank goodness."

"Fortunately for now, this is the problem after all."

Ryu Jintae scratched his head and said,

"Ace Monster's ability to nullify abilities didn't work at all, and the Summoner completely ignored the ability of Jung Team Leader. Did you say little mouse? This is interesting, but I also said that I wanted to have the merit ratings processed privately. I touched Scavenger Day to hide the rank, and if I did that... maybe we could get a lot more out of it."

There was a moment of silence in the conference room where only two of them were sitting.

Kang Il-hyun has three abilities that appeared in the world at the same time.

They were unique talents as well.

"What do you think, trustworthy?"

At his words, Lee Soo-yeon pondered for a moment.

I wonder if Il-hyun really has a tremendous advantage over common sense.

And whether it's right to grow timber to be such a monster.

Soon, Lee Soo-yeon nodded.

"I can trust you."

"Okay, then there's nothing more complicated."

Ryu Jintae stood up indifferently with his hands closed.

"First, change the terms of the contract and raise the core settlement rate. If you have a predatory ability, you should use it properly. At the company level, we'll be spreading the ether core separately in the name of research, and we'll be pushing hard on Team A. I'll get that much more core, too... No complaints, right?"

"I don't know. There's no reason for other team members to complain."

"Haha, I can't help it."

After following him, Lee Jintae calmly looked at Lee Soo-yeon.

"Let's get it right. I hope the eyes are right."
