Chapter 1728 – [Miscellaneous Incidents]

First, I made the materials separately and went to the two-dimensional laboratory to make Sorongpo. It’s a bit smaller than regular Sorongpo, but it doesn’t matter the size because it expands the moment it’s made, and the meat juice takes up the space.

Rather, the juicy Sorongpo that was proportional to its size was no joke. Even though it was made small, the flavor and juiciness spread throughout your mouth.

“Hmm, how can I cook this for other purposes besides Sorongpo?”

“At the very least, you have to work hard to bake the surface one by one to prevent the juice from escaping. There was still juice escaping.”

“It’s a really no joke ingredient. Rather, the problem is the rich juice and ingredients. It would be difficult to use unless it was made differently to prevent the juice from escaping, like a real Sorongpo.”

“In short, it’s important to make the skin separately. If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be possible to make something else, even if it’s not a type of dim sum, like Sorongpo…”

“How about cooking the outside first, coating it, and then cooking it at a low temperature like sous vide?”

“It might be worth a try. Let’s give it a try.”

Wow, the stories between chefs are very interesting.

Even if I want to talk in moderation, every time I do this, various ideas and things come to mind. The chefs at the Two-Dimensional Research Institute didn’t really care about the fact that I was a disfigurement, and they asked for various opinions and thought about making better dishes.

Ah, good, good. This is why I created this research institute. The way each person expressed their thoughts, studied them, and developed through them was like a microcosm of the society I wanted.

And while I was talking to chefs, results were also coming from doctors and professors.

“This is a very groundbreaking new material!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Oh, really? No, but I think you’re emphasizing it too much.”

“It really is such an amazing new material!!!!! For example, the scales of the Australian dragon are light yet relatively strong. For example, they have durability and performance suitable for a fighter jet. But this one is the opposite.”

“So where is it effective?”

“First, it is relatively heavy. To be honest, if you use this on a fighter jet, people will ask you if you are crazy. But on the other hand, if you use it on the ground, that is, on the armor of a tank, the efficiency will change.”

“How much?”

“Lightness is important for flying, but for use on the ground, isn’t strength and durability important? Given the same thickness, there is no metal with greater strength and shock absorption ability than this.”

Fuel efficiency is important, but unless you are using something that differs greatly in cost, it is better to use equipment with much better performance. Metallic Drake’s scales were roughly like that.

It not only alleviated shock but also performed very well. Although it is important to create it, it seems that a way to synthesize it to some extent has been found.

“What about patents?”

“Of course I have to pay. Don’t worry about this.”

“Oh my, the professors have worked hard too. We’ll invite you to the Garden of Eden later and hold a separate party, so look forward to it!!!!”

Haha!!!! Of course, it’s my first time visiting, but I’m looking forward to it!!!!!”

“Oh, I’m just saying this just in case…”

I smiled slightly and spoke to the doctor and professors with a smile.

“If this is intentionally leaked, will they tear you to death? Oh, by the way, this is not a metaphor, it’s real. If you want to test for yourself how far a person who violates the law can go if he decides to do so, you can do so.”

“… Ah, yes. I understand.”

“I may be saying too much, but human greed is endless. At the very least, there are many bastards who do such things even in places where people’s lives fly away like flies if they make a mistake due to the class system that protects human rights compared to now. So please be moderate. Understood?”〈 Br〉

“I will warn you first.”

Since I warned you, you’ll take care of it. Otherwise, you are searching.

Researching and developing various things and finding out recipes… Real research lab work is no joke. I thought all I had to do was pay, but it seems like I have more work to do.

“Metallic Drake Sorongpo!!!!!!!!!! Oh, professors, come and try it too.”

“Ah, then…”

“Hmm, me too.”

“Oh!!!! This is so delicious!!!!!!”

If there was anything I was worried about, it was the backlash from intellectuals and chefs. One uses your head and the other uses your body, so it’s not easy to become friends.

But contrary to those worries, the two were quite close. The chef prepares the dish and serves it, and the professor… Uh, isn’t this actually a request?

“You said Chef Kim’s nephew got into Korea University this time? There’s a professor there that I know, and he’ll take good care of me. He’s my junior.”

“Oh, thank you, Dr. Shin.”

“Well, but I need some people to do this experiment, not anything else…”

“I don’t know what the experiment is, but please leave it to me for now. Do you need anything other than people?”

Well, it’s important to help each other. I don’t really care if it’s an illegal issue or a problem with the lab’s research. All you have to do is do your job well.

Instead, if you secretly steal relevant information and cause trouble, everyone involved will be torn apart. Oh, of course, if the President of the United States were involved, he would be equally crushed.

No way am I going to endure that far. Because of Eden, I was able to keep a certain line, but that also has its limits. If someone touches the research center I run, I have to go after them. Well, if it’s a decent guy, I’d rather cooperate and not mess with it.

Anyway, Metallic Drake’s meat was very popular and was an ingredient that gave a lot of benefits. It tasted good, but thanks to its unique resistance to physics, it was possible to develop better weapons on this planet where the laws of physics are still basic.

… Actually, I’d rather just make cooking skills than those war skills. Still, we have to make sure that the lab doesn’t incur a deficit.

“Dad, it’s good to hear that the lab is going well.”

“Honestly, I don’t know if it’s going to work.”

“Isn’t it okay because there’s no big problem? Honestly, if there’s a problem, all you have to do is format it and start over.”

“Uh huh, you don’t use words like format with people’s lives.”

“What the Great Demon King does must be in accordance with the format!!!!!”

“Even so.”

Things are going well at the 2D Lab, so we’ll just have to wait and see. I have passion and skills, and that’s good.

Afterward, our family was trying to return to their daily lives, and the time came to participate in the event I mentioned before. The weather is cool now that summer is over, so it’s perfect for playing. Why is it good weather for going to amusement parks or theme parks?

“Ordinary people, get out of here!!! From today, this theme park becomes a battlefield!!!!!”

[It’s time to use my predatory plant deck for the first time in a while!!!!!]

“They’re like these duelists.”

“We will invite our daughters and Keter to the opening ceremony separately as ambassadors and participants. It will probably be quite fun, so you can look forward to it.”

“I’ll be looking at the house.”

“Then we’ll go on our own. I’ll buy you a gift when we come, so if you have anything in mind, please let me know.”

“Well… Ah, I want a duel disk.”

“It can’t be used outside the facility, but it’s still worth keeping as a souvenir. I’ll bring one for you, so please wait.”

As I said before, if I participate in such an event, it actually ruins the atmosphere. I’m not leaving covered in blood on a good day.

Since it opens on the weekend, I can participate, but it wouldn’t be a good idea for me to go… So I’m thinking of just telling the kids to go and have fun.

“I’m going to kill the broadcast, so watch my broadcast!!!! Understand?”

“Who should I leave the filming to?”

“Eve.”

“I plan to put significance into participating. I’m not particularly aiming for the finals.”

“Then what?”

The people who stayed at home were me, Korma, Mary, and Lulu. I like this one to a certain extent, but I don’t think it’s worth going out on a weekend to do it myself. Or, since it’s the opening ceremony and there are a lot of people, I think I’m planning to go later.

Still, with Zion, Eden, Eve, and Kether missing, it’s like half of our family is missing. Maybe that’s why a house without children is quiet.

“What’s for lunch today?”

“I had some Metallic Drake meat left over, so I was thinking about making something with it… Ah, since I don’t have Eden, I guess I can make a little less.”

“I can make half of what I usually make.”

“Still, it’s 10 times more than other houses.”

The TV was broadcasting about a new theme park being developed in North Korea. Even though it was a large event, there were reporters and people who could be called VIPs, as well as the Minister of Unification, who had gained power among ministers due to unification, and others.

I think it’s probably because Zion and Eden are attending. In times like this, you should show your face and get a good score, so you can rub it in later when you do something else.

And there were duelists from not only Korea but all over the country. There were winners of various official competitions, and even the winners of the Duelist Kingdom, which is still held periodically, were invited directly by Zion and allowed to participate.

Even though it is not just a theme park, you can enjoy various attractions as if you were at an amusement park, so there are many regular customers, so I think it will do well on the first day of opening.

“But there are people from overseas, so what are we going to do with interpretation?”

“What did they say, it’s okay because the Duel Disk has a function that translates card information.”

“No, other than that, what if we need to communicate?”

“It is said that a duelist speaks in duels.”

“… Honestly, I can’t refute that. If I just translate the card effects, I’ll be able to duel somehow.”

“From what I understand, it seems like the devil is also a duelist.”

“That’s true, but I’m somewhat of a realist.”

Zion stood in front of people as the largest investor and owner of this event.

He has previously come out as a chaebol, so there are people who make noises when they see Shion come out, but no one has any questions. Zion, who raised a stand and stood in front of the microphone on the podium, did the first important thing before the event.

[First, before opening, we will say a moment of silence for the original author who made this event possible today. The original author, who unfortunately passed away while trying to save a family he had never seen before from falling into the sea, was a righteous man until the end and created a work that would leave a mark in the history of card games. It would have been nice if you could attend this event today… I hope the original author rests in peace.]

A moment of silence. Now that I think about it, the original author passed away… While trying to save people. I don’t know why good people leave early.

Afterward, Zion, who recited various opening remarks, soon handed the microphone over to Eden. Eden, wearing a duel disk on his left arm, transforms into duel mode and shows it to people.

[Hello~!!! This is Eden Choi, who participated not as a Wakamo shrine maiden, but as a duelist!!!! Welcome to all duelists and guests who gathered here today!!!!]

Our Eden is good at catching cameras. It feels different from when you normally see it as a lintel.

In fact, Keter is a famous person who is not inferior to Eden, but due to his inability to speak, Eden was chosen as the representative. There is Eve, but Eden is still more famous… Is it just the right time?

[There must be a lot of people who came looking forward to today, right? My mom and I have a lot of money, so we can research the original work… Oh, is this a spoiler? Anyway, I hope you work hard and make it to the finals!!! I plan to participate under the same conditions!!!]

And Eden explained the rules. In fact, there were many problematic rules in the original version, so it was better to cut them out to some extent if possible.

[The rules are simple!!! The duel disc we are distributing contains 3 puzzle pieces!!! And if you collect 10 of them, you get a ticket to the finals!!!! Each person is free to decide how much they bet, but even if they bet one by one, they must win 7 games in a row!!! Banned cards follow general OCG restrictions, and if a banned card is included in the deck, the duel will not be established!!!]

Besides that, there are many other problems. There may be people who buy and sell puzzle pieces for money, and there may also be people who commit foul play or violate rules. Originally, humans were such creatures.

Eve and Zion will probably manage that part. Dual disks have various functions, so it shouldn’t be that difficult to find them.

[Battle City schedule is for two days!!! Today is the preliminaries and the finals are tomorrow!!! For details, please look for notices on our theme park website!!!!]

After briefly explaining the rules, Eden soon announced its opening in earnest. He shouted a familiar yet affectionate comment that duelists would have heard often.

[Okay then… Have fun dueling while following the rules!!!!!]

Waaaaa!!!!!

You can hear the cheers of countless people, congratulatory guns are fired, and there is a popping sound. If you listen to their cheers, you can see how passionate they are about this event.

And people began to flock towards the theme park entrance. Wear the duel disk distributed separately there and register your deck.

Oh, the reason for registering a deck that can be changed is because in Domino City, you register as a resident with a deck… It’s a strange way to verify the original work, but the person who executed it is a traveler, so let’s move on.

As soon as people enter, smiling at each other and wearing duel discs, the image of people starting a duel is shown on the screen. Attractive monsters, such as dragons and warriors, materialize into solid vision and clash with each other.

… Sigh, I should have put an iron plate on my face too. It’ll be a lot of fun.
