Chapter 2422 – 2422. Eternal Eden

Jin Su-hak, the commander of the coup, became president, and I became a secret power and controlled Jin Su-hak from behind.

The priority was, of course, purges. Since a new king has been born, shouldn’t the sword of purge follow?

Those who followed Jung Woo-hyun and those who took key positions through bribery and were showing their incompetence were all dismissed and handed over to the court. All materials, including evidence, were provided by Lee Yeon-hee. It seems that Lee Yeon-hee was just waiting for today.

“They are the ones who are destroying Korea. Without them, Korea’s situation would have been a little better.”

“Well, I don’t want incompetent guys either, so it’s okay. Those who take bribes go straight to prison. From there, they smuggle out capital criminals, including death row inmates, and conduct human experiments on them.”

Of course, blatant human experiments could not be conducted. You have to does it secretly like everyone else.

Should I say that I am fortunate? Criminals were plentiful. The whole world is in shambles. Just because it was Korea didn’t mean it was okay. These people are not called looters for nothing.

The next step was compensation. Youth was given to the Jinsu department and officers who participated in the coup. The generals and senior officers were all middle-aged. They reversed aging and became younger. Their reaction as they got younger was twofold. Cry or laugh.

“Oh, oh! Youth! I feel very light now that I am back in my 20s. Is it. Was this my body in my 20s? !”

“Thank you! Deciding to follow Him was the best decision I ever made! Haha! “I am also a believer of Seongjingyo!”

“Haha. “I got a new life.”

Jeong and the officers who participated in the coup became younger. Didn’t hide it. This is something that cannot be hidden. Now people will know that I have something to do with the current coup government.

‘No, even if that’s not the case, it’s not difficult to guess. The conflict between me and Jung Woo-hyun was quite famous.’

What do other military executives think when they see younger generals and officers? Naturally, they also started swearing to me.

You don’t need youth?

A noble general said that, but it was just bravado. While his colleagues are getting younger, he himself is getting older day by day. How can I tolerate this? Generals from the Navy and Air Force rushed to visit me and pledge their loyalty.

In return, I gave them youth.

To be honest, it was very annoying. However, it was necessary to take control of the Korean military.

‘The king rewards his subjects for loyalty. Let’s think of it that way.’

It wasn’t like I would stay young forever. If you want to stay young, you must continue to pledge your loyalty to me.

In addition, once a young body became available, there was an unavoidable stigma. Proof that you follow me. You may not think so, but others will.

‘I don’t use my abilities against those who are even remotely hostile to me.’

For example, there is Ilwoo Group. The Ilwoo group came to me with an iron plate on their face. The chairman in Japan did not come directly, but it was a director below him.

“Seong Yujin. I understand that the relationship between our company and Seong Yu-jin has been neglected. I would like to take this opportunity to shake off the past and grow together with Seong Yu-jin. “This is a gift to Seong Yu-jin.”

House, car, food, gold bar.

I touched the sparkling gold bar. The global economy collapsed and the value of currency plummeted. The dollar is no exception. The only thing that retains its value is gold. Even that gold is on the decline.

“Right. I understood the meaning of Ilwoo Group well. Think about it. “I will accept the gift well.”

None of the gifts here were real. Technology. These are the people who secretly conducted human experiments on Tsushima Island. Even though it is clear that he has accumulated some level of biotechnology.

The director of Ilwoo Group saw the cold smile on my lips and his expression hardened.

“… I hope you choose wisely. “Even though we lost our chairman, son, and grandson, we are extending our hand of reconciliation to Seong Yu-jin.”

“Say it right away. Your president just covets youth, right? Go tell your old chairman. You will never be young again. Ah, there is one way. “I will gladly show you mercy if you hand over everything of Ilwoo Group to me.”

“… I will tell the Chairman everything that happened today. Personally, I feel very sorry.”

“I’m not really sorry. Oh, please be aware that a tax investigation will soon be conducted on companies related to the Ilwoo Group.”

“…”

He went out with his face wrinkled.

Preparing for a tax audit? If you want to do it, do it.

‘The important thing is not the tax investigation. A tax audit is a message to others. A message that Ilwoo Group has been completely captured by the current government.’

Other Korean companies will distance themselves from Ilwoo Group for fear of sparks flying. Ilwoo Group will gradually become isolated.

‘As soon as there is a suitable cause, it is immediately struck. Haha. When the Ilwoo group enters the prison, they immediately start experimenting on humans. ‘Kkeukkeuk.’

At that time, there was a knock on the door.

“His Holiness. It is Jinsuhak.”

“Come in.”

Jin Su-hak, a young man in his late 20s, came in. They could have made him in his early 20s, but he refused. They say that if you are too young, you will not be dignified.

“I just had an informal meeting with the United States, Russia, North Korea, China, and Japan.”

“What is the reaction?”

“Everyone envied my youth. He then asked me to arrange a place where I could meet His Holiness.”

“If you come to Korea and pay a fair price, I will give you your youth.”

In order to take advantage of the aging reversal ability, you must not be too sparing. It was relatively easy to give youth to those with money and power. That way they will become my shield.

“Yes. I said that as I had decided in advance. But it will not be an easy decision for them. The world is already different from before.”

The already dangerous sea route is becoming even more dangerous. The mutation of sea creatures is much faster than that of land creatures. There are also many variants. What humans could do in the sea was limited. A number of battleships are being destroyed after being accidentally caught by a variant. Recently, the Navy has been spending a long time at sea rather than on land.

The sky is also becoming more difficult. Avian mutants and mutants appear and disrupt the skyway. Now it is even difficult to trade using airplanes.

‘It is no different from a death sentence for Korea, which makes a living through trade.’

Isn’t Korea a place where there are no underground resources like oil right now?

“What is Japan’s reaction?”

“Congratulations on becoming president. He spoke with a smiling face. It didn’t mention anything about Jung Woo-hyun. And I said that I would like to invite His Holiness to Japan.”

“Even if I go crazy, I won’t go to Japan. “What bionics did they take from Korea?”

“Carlo. I nailed it that it was just his choice. There seemed to be no intention of sending Carlo back.”

“… What about North Korea? “What is North Korea’s reaction?”

“I congratulated him. He said he would like to meet at an official summit sometime soon. And I mentioned His Holiness.”

“I guess I coveted youth.”

I looked at the world map on the desk.

On a large map, Korea is only the size of a thumb. It is surrounded and isolated by China, Russia, North Korea, and Japan.

‘The moment the Japanese archipelago attaches to the Korean Peninsula, war is certain.’

Japan will be waiting for that day and preparing thoroughly. That is Japan’s last hope.

What about Korea?

If Korea wants to survive… We must unify with North Korea. Only then can it expand toward the continent. There is oil and gas in Siberia above North Korea. Once unification is achieved, there is no need to worry about oil. Although Russia and China are the problem.

“Nuclear weapons are the problem. How long does it take for Korea to create nuclear weapons?”

“If it’s a nuclear weapon, we already have it. Disaster began and Jung Woo-hyun ordered nuclear armament. There are currently 40 nuclear weapons. Korea has always had the technology to create nuclear weapons. “I was just watching what the world thought.”

“I created nuclear weapons because I no longer need to worry about what the world thinks.”

The nuclear weapons technology I received from Jaeji Kim became a waste.

“Japan also has nuclear weapons, right?”

“Of course. Japan’s technological prowess is not significantly inferior to Korea’s. If it is more than Korea, it will be more, but not less.”

“The nuclear missile defense system is the most urgent. “I’ll have to ask the doctor in that direction.”

“Then are you going to proceed with the fortification of Seoul as usual?”

“It progresses slowly without the public knowing.”

Seoul should be the safest as it is where I will live.

“Once the nuclear defense system is completed to some extent, we will attack North Korea. “Don’t you think it would be okay to assassinate Kim Jae-ji at the summit and occupy North Korea?”

“It will depend on how North Korea comes out. If you’re lucky… We can unify peacefully.”

“Good. “Go out.”

Jin Su-hak left.

I felt drained. My head hurts because there are so many things I need to do but can’t.

‘Shall we stop here this time?’

[Ending the game.]

[Experience settlement begins.]

[Na Chaeyoung’s bond level is 7.]

[Choi Hye-jin’s bond level is 6.]

[Irina’s bond level is 5.]

[Lee Yeon-hee’s bond level is 5.]

[Yu Seo-jeong’s bond level is 3.]

[Jihee Kim’s bond level is 4.]

[Jinsuhak’s bond level is 2.]

[Jung Woo-hyun’s bond level is 1.]

…

After returning to reality, I quickly checked the relationship level log accumulated in the Yugi Life app.

It was a bit surprising that Kim Ji-hee’s relationship level was higher than Yoo Seo-jeong’s. Because I’m still busy with work, I haven’t even been able to plan a mother-daughter rice bowl meal.

‘So how many points have you accumulated?’

[Seong Yu-jin

Level: 94

Strength: 140 Stamina: 140 Dexterity: 140 Intelligence: 140 Stamina: 150 Mana: 140]

[Available Points: 19,705]

Compared to the period of time I entered the world of entertainment, I accumulated quite a lot of points.

‘In the case of Eternal Eden, there are a lot of penalties.’

And it felt like the higher the level, the more points I earned. I’m not sure about this, but it’s just my brain.

I stared at the level. After reaching level 90, the level does not increase at all. It feels like the experience required has increased tremendously.

‘I didn’t think much of it until now… Is level 100 the maximum level?’

To be honest, I wasn’t interested because there wasn’t much benefit from increasing the level.

‘A reward was given every time the level reached a multiple of 10. A reward will be given when you reach level 100.’

There was a way.

[Level Up Ticket

You can level up!

Price: 10,000 points

※Caution

Only level 99 and below can be used.]

I narrowed my eyes and looked at the level up ticket.

10,000 points. When I tried to buy it, I felt like it was a waste.

‘It’s on hold. That being said, there might be something when it reaches 95. Even though it’s not a multiple of 10… Leveling up is strangely slow.’

I used it as soon as I purchased the level up ticket.

[Obtain a pet cage by reaching level 95.]
