Chapter 2416 – 2416. Eternal Eden
I secretly returned to Seongak Elementary School just as I had come.
The first button was sewn well.
Army Chief of Staff Jin Soo-hak.
Meeting him was not an accidental act. I had been planning it for a long time. First, I worked on his wife through Seongjingyo.
‘Originally, I would have put in a little more effort. Jin Suk also gradually fell into Seongjin Buddhism under the influence of his wife.’
Because it was safer and more certain than going out on my own.
However, as Jung Woo-hyun made his decision, he had no choice but to advance the plan.
‘Jin Suhak was able to ignore my words and attack. I would have killed him then. Even if that’s not the case, you can pretend to follow me right now and then stick with Jung Woo-hyun.’
There was no guarantee that Jin Su-hak would not betray.
In preparation for this, we received body parts from Jung Woo-hyun and his family. Cut off finger. It is a threat that there is no such thing as a comfortable death if you betray, and it is a token of trust. His young son is no exception. There was no need to cut off the finger simply because there was an urn.
‘There are three more weeks until the food runs out. Of course, it is impossible to recruit all military officers within that period. Move a coup with the minimum number of people and secure Jung Woo-hyun.’
If it succeeds, it’s a revolution. If it fails, it’s treason.
Of course, it is Jinsuhak that comes to the fore. Even if I fail, my name won’t come up. Even so, people in the know will know that I was involved.
‘As long as you don’t fail, it’s okay. If I succeed, I will become the secret power of Korea. It means that Korea is in my hands. And over time, he slowly spreads Seongjingyo throughout Korea. Seongjingyo is 50% of Korean people… No, if I convert just 30%, Korea will be mine.’
The narrow fence called Seongak Elementary School will disappear and management at the national level will become possible.
‘The things you can do increase tremendously.’
High risk, high return.
Honestly, the risk is high, but the return is greater.
‘I and Seongak Elementary School must participate in the coup. It is said that Jung Woo-hyun’s security team is now made up of awakened people.’
Although it would be a shame for a Korean awakened person to die, it would be easier for them if they were killed without mercy. And the awakened person can be revived later. When there is a clear means to dominate the awakened.
‘The next thing we need is… After all, it’s a good reason. Although Seongjingyo believers are protesting in front of the Blue House, support for Jung Woo-hyun is high.’
Korea’s damage from this disaster is minimal compared to other countries. The reason is the president’s wise choice. That perception was spreading among the people. Moreover, didn’t they recently hold talks with North Korea and reach a ceasefire?
‘Fuck. That was originally my achievement. It’s not that bastard’s accomplishments.’
Because North Korea’s leader Kim Jae-ji’s purpose was to meet me.
‘Jung Woo-hyun. He pretends to be nice on the outside, but… If you look at the way he does things, he must have committed all kinds of corruption. Considering the aftermath of the coup, Jung Woo-hyun’s reputation must be tarnished. Because that will soon become a justification.’
There was no information about Jung Woo-hyun’s corruption. However, there are people who know about Jung Woo-hyun’s corruption.
‘Lee Yeon-hee, 4th Deputy Director of the National Intelligence Service. There is a high probability that she also knows about Jung Woo-hyun’s corruption. Moreover, Lee Yeon-hee was placed on probation by Jung Woo-hyun. She probably has bad feelings toward Jung Woo-hyun, so it’s easy to recruit her.’
The problem is that we don’t know where Lee Yeon-hee is right now.
It is not easy to communicate openly. If Deputy Director Shin Young-soo is a sane person, he will be watching Yeon-hee Lee.
‘I’ll have to think of a way.’
It would be a great help if we could attract Lee Yeon-hee.

Three days later.
Lee Yeon-hee’s whereabouts have been identified. She found out through Taewang’s boss, Koo Taehee. I thought she was related to Lee Yeon-hee to some extent, and she even knew Lee Yeon-hee’s original family.
Ssangmun-dong, Seoul.
The large Hanok house there was Lee Yeon-hee’s original home. Lee Yeon-hee was a descendant of the imperial family of the Korean Empire. I knew she was an unusual woman, but I had no idea she was of imperial blood.
Unlike me, who was surprised, Na Chaeyoung was calm.
“Is she a descendant of the imperial family? It’s not surprising. Non-players may not know this, but the original game, Eternal Eden, had several Easter eggs. One of them is that NPCs who are descendants of great people who actually existed occasionally appear.”
I also played the original Eternal Eden. But I didn’t do it that much, so I didn’t know much about Easter eggs.
“Does this mean that Hitler’s descendants also exist?”
“It could be so. Now that it has become a reality, there is a high possibility that the name has been changed.”
But. If you openly use the name Hitler, you may be beaten to death on the street.
“Anyway, I’m going to go see Yeonhee Lee right away tonight. There isn’t much time left, so we have to move as quickly as possible.”
“There’s no need for that. That’s why I came here.”
Lee Yeon-hee, wearing a suit, suddenly appeared out of thin air.
Na Chae-young, startled, jumped up from her chair, and I stepped forward as if to protect her.
“Lee Yeon-hee. How did it suddenly appear? I knew he was an awakened person, but… Was he a teleporter?”
“No. Moving through space is just one of the things I can do. I have been here from the beginning. “You just didn’t notice.”
Was it there from the beginning? I didn’t feel any sign of her at all.
Of course, it does not use electromagnetic waves, but that is natural. This is Na Chae-young’s laboratory, which can be said to be the most important in the main building of Seongak Elementary School. It’s the safest place I know. Would you use electromagnetic waves just because a place like this is suspicious?
‘If Lee Yeon-hee tried to kill us… I would have been pinned down.’
I didn’t notice that much at all. Even if I had been alert, would I have noticed her presence?
She couldn’t guarantee.
Lee Yeon-hee took off her gloves and extended her hand to Na Chae-young.
“Dr. I am a player. If you contact me, you will be able to know my abilities and characteristics. In addition to apologizing for my rudeness, I will tell you about my abilities and characteristics. And in my defense… Would you say it was to trust you? Because I don’t trust others without prior information.”
“…”
Na Chaeyoung looked at me. What was she going to do, she was asking me. I nodded. If she was thinking of kidnapping Na Chae-young with her abilities… There were plenty of opportunities. Otherwise, the fact that he came out like this means that he intends to talk.
Na Chae-young held hands with Lee Yeon-hee. At that moment, Na Chaeyoung’s eyes widen, and she is shocked.
“Well, this…” .”
“I wonder what Dr. Na was surprised to see. “Can you tell me too?”
“… “I’m going to write it down on paper now, so just wait a moment.”
The contents of the paper written by Na Chae-young were as follows.
「Individual name: Lee Yeon-hee
Potential: ★★★★★
Awakening ability: Space manipulation.
Traits: Iron-blooded, iron-blooded, ironman. Nationalism.”
There were 4 characteristics. Moreover, they are all characteristics that belong to Tier 1.
Na Chae-young commented on Lee Yeon-hee’s abilities as follows.
“You. Now I see that he is an all-rounder.”
“Hmm. Even looking at the characteristics, I’m not sure what effect it has since I’m not a player. Could you please let me know?”
“I’m a doctor. I’m curious too.”
“Iron Man is Tier 0. “The rest are all tier 1 characteristics.”
“Tier 0?”
“If you have this trait, you will choose it without asking. “It is also a very rare trait.”
Thoroughness: All task compensation +50%.
Iron Blood: Mental Resistance +50%. Even if a family member or friend dies, I am not shaken.
Iron Man: All abilities +20%. All task compensation +20%, fatigue recovery rate +30%.
Nationalism: +30% to all actions when working for the country.
‘I understand why they call him an all-rounder. If you add up the work corrections, it’s 100%.’
NPCs in the original game Eternal Eden are divided into what they can and cannot do depending on their occupation. The work you can do is called work, and the more you do it, the more your professional skills increase. 100% work compensation means that you can learn all skills regardless of talent.
“Ever since I was young, I’ve been told that I’m a genius who can’t do anything. In fact, none of the things I learned were difficult. “I didn’t dig deep because there was nothing that interested me.”
I looked at Lee Yeon-hee with eyes full of greed. She was not only pretty but also talented. I wanted to have her in my hands no matter what.
“Lee Yeon-hee. To Seongak Elementary School. No, come under me.”
Lee Yeon-hee said with a smile as usual.
“I’m sorry.”
“Why?”
“Have you forgotten what my fourth trait is? “I married Korea.”
Nationalism.
It is similar to patriotism, but slightly different. Nationalism is extreme. Your country should be higher than other countries. He will do anything for him.
“Married to the country. In other words, if I become Korea itself, you are married to me.”
“Is that how the story goes? Hmm. Yes. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. If Mr. Eugene is Korea itself… Yes. “I will give my all to you.”
“I definitely remembered those words.”
Lee Yeon-hee was just smiling. Still, she was able to see through her thoughts better than before.
“Still, you’ll cooperate with me on this matter, right?”
“Yes. Jung Woo-hyun crossed the line.”
“Well, you crossed the line by touching me.”
“No. That’s not it… We found out the details of Jung Woo-hyun’s deal with Japan. Permission for Japanese to emigrate. He received Japanese cooperation and technology in return.”
“Japanese people immigrating to Korea? Why? Is the situation that serious?”
“It is much more serious than what is known to the public. Not only are earthquakes occurring more than three times a week, but the Japanese archipelago is moving increasingly westward. Assuming there are no variables, the Korean Peninsula and the archipelago will collide in about 5 years. This is the conclusion reached by famous doctors such as geologists, seismologists, and oceanographers.”
I laughed when I remembered that quite a few earthquakes had occurred in Korea recently.
“Territory comes to me naturally. The beginning of the Han Empire era is not far away.”
Lee Yeon-hee opened her eyes wide and her face blushed. She let out her hot breath as if she were ecstatic.
“During the Han Empire… It’s a word that makes your heart race just by hearing it. If that really happens, I have no wish.”
“If I become the president of Korea… Korea will become the most powerful country in the world.”
“I listened carefully to Mr. Eugene’s aspirations. “If the opportunity really comes for him, I will do my best to help him.”
First, Lee Yeon-hee’s likeability seemed certain. It turns out she isn’t an easy woman. She seemed like a woman who would do anything for me if I made Korea the world’s most powerful country.
“Lee Yeon-hee. Assassinate Jung Woo-hyun with your abilities. There will be chaos inside Korea for the time being… Korea will overcome.”
“I would like to, but I cannot space-travel to Jung Woo-hyun’s side with my abilities.”
“What? Why?”
“Jung Woo-hyun has the horn of Haitai. Haitai. To be exact, it is a variant of a lion. Four months ago, a lion at the zoo turned into a mutant and was hunted by the military. At that time, he obtained the horn of Haetae, and the use of his abilities was restricted within 10 meters in all directions around the horn.”
“Are you saying that assassination through ability is impossible?”
“I basically can’t move. Currently, I am under surveillance at home. Even now, I barely found time to come.”
“The security is so strict?”
“Jung Woo-hyun knows my abilities. I told you this before. He is what I know as the teleporter.”
“… Indeed.”
Yeonhee Lee has the ability to move through space. Depending on how you use it, it is an incredibly dangerous ability. 10 m ability limit? Wouldn’t it be enough to attack from 10 m away? Even if you only hold a pistol, you can hit enemies at a distance of 10 m. … I may not be able to get it right now.
“Why did you tell him about his abilities, if not all of them?”
“Because he is the president of Korea. I didn’t tell you everything because I was a little reluctant about it. “I will now give you the information on Jung Woo-hyun’s corruption that I have collected.”
The space split and documents and USBs poured out onto the desk.
‘Is it subspace? I know because I have inventory too. That’s so fucking convenient. I’m a little jealous.’
Because I can’t utilize inventory in this world.
I needed confirmation, so I reached out for the data.
