Chapter 1540 – [Life as a High School Senior After Completing the CSAT]

As Christmas passed, Eden was examining and experimenting with a copy of the Book of Knowledge, the last gift she received from Santa, to learn its functions.

Since it is Lord’s equipment made with the help of Dimension Paper, it has various functions. It’s a very useful feature, so I’m quite keen on it.

“It seems like no one else can use it without my permission.”

“Well, the ability to distinguish between owners is basic to equipment used by transcendentalists.”

“Would you like to try the function to find other people’s memorable dishes? Dad, would you like to try it?”

“Of course.”

Buuuuuk!

Eden tore a page from the book and handed it to me. And I held that torn page and looked back at the past.

It’s a dish from my memories… I guess that’s okay too.

I wondered if it would be possible for me, a transcendent and a Lord, to use it, but it seems to work. Even though I resisted, I agreed and directly put my will into it, and immediately a picture began to appear on the page.

It was kimchi stew. Considering my current skills, it’s a kimchi stew that’s so poor that it tastes strange, and I think it’s better to throw it away.

“Is this a dish from dad’s memories?”

“… This was the first dish my dad made. It was the first dish I made and the first kimchi stew I made.”

“That’s why Dad is good at making kimchi stew.”

“I made it with my skills that I didn’t have to feed my younger siblings… I remember that time.”

The recipe is also written below. I wonder if the recipe is also indicated as it is the person who created it.

If you look at it, there are so many things. The kimchi wasn’t stir-fried even once, too much water was added, and the pork wasn’t prepared properly…

I felt like I knew what it tasted like just by looking at the recipe. Of course, it’s a dish I’ve made and eaten before, but it brings back memories. It’s not a dish that can be called delicious even with empty words, but for me, it’s a taste of memories.

“It’s a good book. Have you decided on a name for it?”

“The essence of cooking.”

“That’s a name that seems like it would sell well as a reference book for students.”

Since there is no standard in cooking, is it okay to call it a standard in cooking?… No, if you think about it, it’s not absolute and other people can use it, so in a way, isn’t that correct? There are no borders or nobility in cooking, but there are tastes, and in some ways, tastes are the norm.

“Oh, that’s right. Dad, this thing also has this function.”

“What is it?”

“Take a listen.”

“Hmm?”

Soon, I received the basics of cooking from Eden and listened to them. But at that moment, I suddenly feel a great mass, a weight that cannot be found in just one book.

Cooung!!

“Hmm?”

Considerable weight. Probably about the weight of a high-rise building or apartment building? If it hadn’t been for my quick protection and safety, the floor of our house would have completely collapsed.

I know what this is like. Because it’s a technique that Lucian often uses. Was ‘the weight of knowledge the weight of power’?

“In proportion to what I write here, I can give the book a mass beyond imagination.”

“Based on the records so far, the weight is equivalent to that of a building and will likely increase further in the future.”

“They say there are limits. Still, I think it could be very useful.”

“The original owner, Lucian, flew a planet-sized Book of Knowledge at high speeds and used it like a land-launching drone.”

“Wow, that’s no joke. Rod is truly at the level of a monster.”

Originally, with that size and mass, it would be normal for an infinitesimal black hole to be created. However, that is not the case because that book is not just a book, but was created by a dimensional species based on will.

Will is the foundation of this world. Even the laws of physics such as weight and mass are created from will. Because will is a much higher concept, things like defying the laws of physics can be easily done.

Hmm… If I were to give something similar, there is something like the female baton that Son Goku uses. As if Gilhyun would often use it, if there is one thing that many of his creations have in common, it is that the size can change at will and the weight is enormous.

The mass of the Yeouibong that Gilhyun uses increases in proportion to its size, but do you think it would be possible according to the laws of physics for mass to increase and decrease in that way? Most of the weapons that originally had supernatural abilities or were interfered with by transcendental people were fighting against the laws of physics.

“Every time I see something like that, I feel a little uncomfortable.”

“What are you talking about when you manipulate the laws of physics?”

“As Hanon, I manipulate the laws of physics by mastering them and exercising control over them. But isn’t that a different system? If you think about it, my abilities are infinitely close to the laws of physics.”

“It doesn’t seem like a utopia where a black hole is manipulated and wiped out like a stick of taffy.”

“Extremely advanced manipulation of physical laws seems similar to magic.”

Anyway, I really liked Eden’s last Christmas present. Should I say it felt like I was getting a personal, specifically cooking Namu Wiki, or should I say I was getting a cooking diary, but I liked it because I thought it could be useful.

And after Christmas, the new year arrived quickly.

The last day of the year? Eden could have gone out and played that day, but she decided to party at home. If it were other kids, she would do things she couldn’t do as a minor, like going out with her friends as soon at 12 o’clock and asking for drinks while holding out her ID with the ink still on, but Eden seems to prefer spending time with her family.

“Three!!! Two!!! One!!!!”

Damn!!!!

I watch the New Year’s Eve bell ringing on TV. From 11:59:59 to 12 midnight, the day passes, the month passes, and the sun passes.

Yesterday became, last month, and last year. And Eden became an adult by Korean standards.

As soon as the sun went down, Eden was happy and gulped down the drink she had prepared. She’s always been drinking alcohol, but it’s different now than it was then.

“Aaaaah!!!! I am now legal!!!! Legal drinking of joy!!!!!”

“Okay, drink a lot.”

“As an adult, I don’t say anything about my dad drinking!!!!”

“Now that you’re an adult, there’s nothing you can say about that. Instead, don’t drink too much.”

“I don’t get drunk anyway, even if I blow on it.”

“Well.”

Although Eden’s body, which reached transcendence, is far inferior to that of those who achieved transcendence through martial arts, she still has a post-human body. The body is made up of will, so although it is not like a rod that can control its strength or strength at will, the will flows through the body and can be controlled, so guns are impervious to Eden now.

Even if you focus a little, missiles won’t work, and nuclear bombs, even if dangerous, are meaningless since you’ll have to use your hands to block them instead of just getting hit in the first place. If you think about it, as long as it has the ability to ‘convert’, a simple weapon will be able to convert and absorb that amount of heat.

My daughter has become really strong too. It was only yesterday that I was worried that I might get shot and die.

[I wonder what kind of transcendental person I will become when I grow up. If you are targeting a road, is it Cook Road?]

“Oh, can it be loaded with dishes?”

[All concepts can be loaded. In particular, even if you search the entire dimension, there are more people who eat than people who live without eating, so there is no way it could not be on the road with the concept of cooking.]

“Instead, it’s a path that people don’t usually take. Look at your father. He became a Lord in charge of the concept of trials, right? Normally, a Lord must understand the concept well and have the will to make it his or her job. But usually, a Lord is a Lord. Would a person whose goal is to risk his or her life on something like cooking?”

“I’m betting!!!!”

“So, it’s a Cook Road made for heaven. Well, it’s going to last for over a thousand years, so take your time and climb up there.”

“Now that I think about it, Eden has lessened the lifespan problem. Since I have reached transcendence, I won’t have to worry about dying due to lifespan for a while.”

If you reach transcendence, you will also shed some of the limitations of your body. And a transcendental person with sufficient status and experience may gain immortality, if not immortality, and may not die unless he is killed.

When it comes to loading, life loses its meaning. Their will itself is their lifespan and existence, and as long as they are alive, they will not die… So even if a Lord dies, if the will remains, he will be resurrected. That’s why it’s close to eternal life and immortality.

So, on the one hand, I am also worried that the War Lord and the Golden Sun will be resurrected someday, but I think it is okay. Even if he is resurrected and targets me, I am not the same person I used to be.

Even if I fight alone, I can beat that bastard, because the kids in my family are now competitive. Since Zion can’t fight, it’s no joke to add kids who can fight.

“Tell me when the War Lord is revived. I’ll tell my dad.”

“No, no matter how loaded you are, I think you’ll be beaten to death by King Bloodier.”

“Dad, I guess he cares about the alliance, right? He also got to taste the road meat.”

Although the rod is really strong, the King Bloodier is an absolute self-sufficient Bloodier. If I were to say that winning against War Lord is a matter of compatibility, then King Bloodier is not compatibility, but he just beats me with a brute force.

Even if only one or two corps commanders under his command come with him, the Warlord is no different. Except for Lulu, the corps commanders are Lord level. No, if you think about it, it really isn’t a power inflation joke.

“When I listen to my dad’s story, I feel like Krillin watching Super Saiyans fight.”

“You’ve grown up a bit, so you’re not like an ordinary person, but like Krillin.”

“Don’t ignore Krillin!!! He’s the strongest person on Earth!!!!”

Well, the story of Eden being loaded is still a long way off. I’ve just become a Transcendent, but it’s hard to become a Lord unless you’re as talented as that phantom bastard.

And loading early is not a good thing. Becoming a roadie at a young age is certainly a testament to talent, but in the end, it has limitations as experience and knowledge are limited. In short, it has the capabilities of a supercomputer, but the operating system feels like Windows 95?

So, the stubborn Phantom studied hard afterward. But after that, I became an absolute person and had to study more.

“But it’s a new year. What do you want to do? Do you have any plans?”

“Um… Well, where should we go? Ah!!!! Now that I think about it, there will be a mountain trout festival soon. I want to go!!!!”

“No matter how many times I’ve been there?”

“Because it’s a memory. Every time I go there, I think of old times.”

The following article: Memories are the most delicious seasoning. I have many memories of Eden taking me there a long time ago.

“Keter, Lulu, and Mary, let’s go together.”

“Huh? Are you okay? I don’t know about Lulu, but you two are famous people.”

You may not know Lulu who rarely goes out publicly, but Keter and Mary are celebrities. Keter is known for the Garden of Eden and related matters, and Mary is known in Australia for her work in Berthatus.

If you go there, people will flock there and Eden will be discovered. Of course, there are already plans to announce it, but I don’t think Eden will try to reveal it there.

“I’m not going to show my face, but I’m going to go as a Wakamo shrine maiden.”

“No, why? If I go like that, won’t I be able to enjoy the festival properly?”

“Still, I can enjoy it in some way. And there are things I want to try.”

“What do you want to try?”

“There are ice and snow pieces there, right?”

“Uh…”

As it is a winter festival, there are places where ice and snow sculptures are displayed for eye candy. As it is a mountain trout festival, the main event is originally about fishing and other things, but that’s all it takes to get bored.

But Eden mentions that…

“It’s a festival venue, and I want to build a huge ice castle!!!!!”

“This is why it’s worse than expected!!!!!”

“This is such a stupid idea… Let’s do it now.”

“As expected, Eve. Then, shall we think about how to build a castle?”

It seems like Eden is determined to build an ice castle. Hagia Castle and ice sculptures have their own romance, and the huge, life-sized ice castles are so majestic that they are worth more than just works of art.

Why are ice cubes valuable? That’s because one day it will melt and disappear. In some ways, ice sculptures have greater value than other pieces of work.

It wouldn’t have been easy for Eden to build a castle like that if she wanted to, but it was important to show it to others and brag about it. This was something I couldn’t do in the past due to various restrictions…

“Do whatever you want.”

“Oh, really?”

“Let’s just take it easy and go enjoy the event. Other people will notice, but well… If we find a way, we’ll find it.”

The whole family decided to just go together. Me and Eden can wear masks and go to the Wakamo shaman and the evil priest, and other people can also cover their faces or go sightseeing by preventing people from recognizing them. Even if that’s not the case, you can cover your face with a mask or hat.

It may be a little noisy, but it only buys you a little time anyway. Eden will probably go out into the world sometime this year.

“Mom will discuss the related procedures with the Cheonmu Association and proceed with them. The festival opens earlier than expected, so time is tight, but wouldn’t a few days be enough to build an ice castle and promote it anyway?”

“Mom, you’re the best!!!!!”

“Well, with something like this, my daughter can do whatever she wants. She’s acting like a child like she never did before.”

It’s a new year, and Eden says her true identity will be revealed anyway, so I tell her to do whatever she wants. Running a water purification foundation was something Eden wanted to do, but since it was a charity event, this was closer to Eden’s desire.

‘I can make an ice castle like this!!!! I want to show it off!!! It’s better if you enjoy it!!!’ I guess it’s the same mindset.

She said wanting to show off is a feeling that everyone has. Eden has rarely done that before… So I’ll give it a try this time.

“We need to promote it on a large scale and get people to flock to it.”

“If there are too many people, it will be difficult for us to enjoy the festival.”

“Anyway, you just have to look around and be treated like a VIP. I know you like small things, but aren’t you going with a purpose this time?”

“Well… Then there’s nothing we can do.”

“If our existence becomes known to the world, we will receive attention in one way or another, and we will not be able to live like before. We lived normally for 20 years, so we must be prepared to live a noisy 20 more years.”

“It must be busy.”

“It would be a good idea to remodel your store and switch to a reservation system. If it becomes known that it is a bad practice, people will definitely flock in.”

“That’s tough too…”

There are many things to think about and prepare for. It’s not difficult, but it’s annoying.

But it’s worth it. It’s a cheap price compared to how we suppressed Eden’s freedom so far.

“If you sing ‘Let It’ while making a castle, you’ll be like Elsa, right? Oh, then those who eat the copyright will come?!”

“It’s okay because the majority shareholder there is my mom.”

“Wow!!! Mom is the best!!!!”

If you think about it, just like me and Eden, if Zion is a conglomerate that controls a significant portion of the Earth’s economy, there may be some unsophisticated people who cross the line. No, it definitely exists.

Those who are as brave as they are ignorant will say shit because they don’t know how scary a one-day puppy tiger is. Even if you just win the lottery, you will be contacted by unknown family members or donation organizations.

When they come out, I have to kill them all!!!!! How dare you try to beg my wife?!
