Chapter 2111 – [The Only Drug Allowed by the Country = Gukbbong]
The Moon Lake Hotel’s swimming pool also has a glass ceiling… No, to be exact, it’s made of specially strengthened acrylic, but the scenery was visible anyway, so I could see the Earth as well.
Thanks to this, there are many people playing backstroke at the swimming pool here. If you swim while looking at the sky, you can swim while looking at the Earth.
“This body appears!!!!!!”
=Waaaaa!!!!
=Nunaaaaa!!!!!
=No haha the guild leader’s older sister isn’t a beauty you’ll fall in love with, but she’s truly amazing in many ways.
-Ah, this is called Eden. Appearance, wealth, power, ability, body, everything is something that we never miss.
=But if you look at it, its age…
“You are a van.”
=Why!!!!!
Even though she was just wearing a swimsuit, Eden’s appearance, which made you think she was stopping the broadcast, was still a huge hit. No, if you think about it, Eden is also slowly passing his 30s and entering his 40s… Well, since he is a transcendental person, age has no meaning anymore.
Still, it seems like talking about age is still a taboo for Eden. Oh, is everything originally taboo for women?
Anyway, the swimming pool at Moon Lake Hotel was spacious and comfortable as it was a well-prepared facility for multiple people to use, making it great for swimming. However, resources such as water are precious here, so the water used in the swimming pool will later be used in hydroponic cultivation facilities to grow various crops here.
=You can see the Earth above, swimming on the moon… And there are some crazy beauties.
=ㅋㅋㅋㅋ They say the number of subscribers is in the hundreds of millions, and I understand why.
-I bring out content like this every time, but it’s strange if there are few subscribers.
After swimming, have lunch. In the case of the hotel restaurant, since it is a dining area, it is difficult to look up while eating, so instead, there is a window on the wall so that you can see the quiet moon. It looks desolate and unremarkable, but it actually gives it an even more moon-like atmosphere.
The meal menu comes as a course meal. Some are brought in from the ground and some are grown here hydroponically, so it’s quite good.
Well… Honestly, the taste itself is no different from the above ground, but the atmosphere is also an element of the taste. Even if it’s the same ramen, eating it on its own is like the difference between eating it on top of a mountain.
“This place has a really fantastic atmosphere… I can see why it’s so popular.”
“Do you still have stamina left? After lunch, we’ll go for a walk on the moon in the afternoon.”
“Ah!!! You can really walk on the moon, right?”
“Even now, in a sense, I’m walking on the moon. Anyway, after we eat and digest, let’s go out!!!”
Eden and Hansol change into space suits for walking on the moon. You could say I didn’t wear it, but I didn’t because it was cumbersome, and I didn’t think it would interfere with my life even if I didn’t have to wear a spacesuit.
I’m fine, but I wonder if it’s okay for my clothes or the cosmic radiation, but my force field blocks all of that in the first place, so I’m fine.
“If they see you walking around in casual clothes, people who don’t know you will think it’s a fabrication.”
“Actually, what if you don’t need Eden?”
“It’s necessary to communicate. It’s not even a cam that can detect what you’re saying at will.”
There were cameras and cameras here for commemorative photography and other purposes, so there was no problem broadcasting even from outer space. Instead, Eden wore a spacesuit on purpose because he could not communicate with viewers without the communication function provided in the spacesuit.
Eventually we go outside. Adjust the air pressure in the airlock and set foot on the moon in earnest.
Since there is no air in space, sound cannot be transmitted, so a quiet moon greeted us. If you look, there may be wastelands like this on Earth, but the atmosphere of silence is different, perhaps because no sound can be heard.
-Wow… This is the moon.
-Isn’t it cools? Look up there. Because you can see the Earth through the glass of the spacesuit.
-Wow…!!!!
Although I have seen it at the Moon Lake Hotel, the feeling of stepping out of the building and looking up at the Earth is unique. Much bigger, much more direct.
Even a hard-hearted person with dry emotions will feel many emotions when he comes here and looks up at the Earth. The sight of the Earth you used to live on appearing much smaller before your eyes will be quite a shock.
=Wow… It’s really cool.
=Even though it’s space, the picture quality is good. Is the cam good?
=Because it’s a tourist destination, you’ll use good things, right?
=Huh? But isn’t that the lunar vehicle next to you? No way…
-Ah, you don’t know? You can even go for a drive on the moon car at the Moon Lake Hotel.
=License?!?!
-Usually, you go there with an employee driving the car, but if you have a driver’s license, you can drive yourself. Instead, in that case, you must agree to a document stating that the driver is responsible in the event of an accident.
=LOL If there is a car accident on the moon, that too will be a memory.
We boarded the rover for a lunar vehicle drive. Compared to cars on the ground, the magic attribute is poor, but considering the moon’s gravity, which is a few times that of the Earth, it is enough power.
For reference, Eden rode alone, and I drove Hansol’s lunar vehicle and put her in the passenger seat. It may be a good memory, but you can’t have customers drive, and there’s also a risk of accidents.
[You can drive later. There should be something to make another memory next time.]
-Ah… It’s a little disappointing.
[In that case, take a longer vacation and enjoy it leisurely.]
The lunar rover drive was fantastic. The speed wasn’t that fast, but the gravity was low and the car itself had open seats, so the feeling of openness was no joke. You can see the Earth above your head and the feeling of crossing the plain of the moon feels cool even though there is no air and no wind.
I drove for a while to see the place where Apollo 11 landed and planted the American flag, and I also toured the outer perimeter of the moon base, which is now closed to civilian access.
I would like to give them a tour of the lunar base, but now many countries are busy with lunar development, resource research, etc… No matter how much I try to treat them as guests, it would be a bit difficult to just visit on a private basis.
When I return, it becomes night before I know it. Mr. Hansol also spent his last night of vacation on this Earth.
“I was truly indebted to you. I experienced something I thought I would experience once in my life several times in just a few days… And it was very enjoyable.”
“I’m glad you liked it. Actually, there were a lot of places I couldn’t go to because my vacation was short.”
“I haven’t been there?”
“For example, Domino City, the battlefield of the Duelists, the Magic Engineering District, the Heavenly Moon God Hall of the Sun and Moon God Kingdom, and the mining site of the giant asteroid brought in by my father after it almost destroyed the Earth…”
“??”
“I only showed you a small part of it!!!! I’ll show you more interesting things next time, so take a long vacation!!!!”
“I hope I can come out for a long time. But that will only be possible if the gate disaster decreases or disappears.”
“Sweet, Dad, how can you not?”
“Dimension Jinn is considered a disaster even in dimensional civilization… So we have no choice but to let it naturally recover.”
Even in dimensional civilization, there is no way to do dimensional formation itself, only dimensional suturing or temporary measures at best. Moreover, Gaia of the Gate Earth is doing quite well right now, so it’s best to just wait for time to pass and recover.
So, by being connected to this side of the world, I will be able to breathe a little easier, receive various support and technologies, and then I will be much more relaxed than I am now. Even if we can’t solve the fundamental problem, the environment will improve, so I don’t think it’s a distant future for Hansol to take a long vacation.
Anyway, I spend the night at the Moon Lake Hotel. Because the gravity was different, we woke up physically lighter in the morning and checked out. I’m disappointed that I couldn’t enjoy it for long, but I’ll leave that for next time.
At the souvenir shop, I bought some special souvenirs, such as moon rocks. After returning to Earth, I prepared to part ways.
“Thank you so much. I want to come again next time when there is less work for hunters.”
“Yes, yes, next time I will show you more fun places, so be sure to come!!!!!”
Mr. Hansol entered the two-way gate with both hands full of not only the souvenirs he bought at Moon Lake Hotel but also various things we had brought him. I plan to go over to Japan with Keter soon to help decontaminate Fukushima, but I don’t think we’ll be able to see each other since we’re both busy.
Still, I’m glad I treated my guests well. I hope to come again next time.
“People will react well, right?”
“Of course that would be good. Isn’t it strange if you use popular material as broadcast content and the response is bad?”
“No, the gate district side.”
“Well… I’m worried that social chaos might come.”
And as I expected, the impact of this Eden broadcast was quite strong.
Hansol is also well-known in the Gate District as the guild leader of Korea’s representative hunter guild and a beautiful woman, so her fame is not lacking, and like Eden, who is famous for her resuscitation procedures, she goes on vacation to various tourist attractions and attractions in unified Korea. I sent it. Even though it was known as a promotional site, the impact of the broadcast itself was different.
There were also social issues. When people see this situation, they start to feel a sense of shame.
=Why can’t we do something like that?
=No, honestly, things like Jurassic Park and the Moon Hotel are only possible if technology develops…
=That aside, can’t we at least punish criminals strictly?
=ㄹㅇ, there may be innocent people, so we have to draw a line to some extent, but isn’t it possible to sentence red-handed criminals or such bastards to life imprisonment?
=Or give them the death penalty. Why on earth do we spend our tax money on child sex offenders to put them in prison and then release them later? Just kill them, and it’s over.
On the one hand, comparing is a bad thing. If I had looked at Eve and raised her by saying, ‘Why are you worse than Eden?’ Eve would have turned black long ago and become like Skynet or HAL9000.
Even on the same Earth, each situation and various other things are different, so each person has their own ways and methods. However, even though people knew rationally, they couldn’t help it emotionally, so it was natural for them to explode with feelings of inferiority and pour their anger on the upper class when they saw Korea as a more developed and better place to live.
No, rather, what had built up until now would have exploded. If you’ve done well so far, you might be thinking, ‘Hey, we can get technical support from over there, too.’ But their anger is an explosion that occurs because no matter how much they think about it, there is no answer.
When it gets heated up to a certain point, you have to prepare a place to let the steam out… But Korea is currently in a difficult situation, so that’s not possible.
The good news is that people’s reactions occurred as peaceful protests, such as candlelight protests, and did not develop into armed protests. Although the social atmosphere may be a bit ugly as I threaten China, it is a wise decision.
But… I knew instinctively. Their candlelight protest may seem peaceful, but on the other hand, it is their last chance.
“If we don’t reform sufficiently, a civil war is likely to break out in Korea.”
“Yeah, Dad thought that too.”
“They mobilize the military because of the gate and there are many such incidents, so the power of the military is strong and there is a lot of opposition to it. The military that directly participates in the gate attack is effectively pushed to the front line when the gate break. …”
“The military’s opposition is also huge.”
The treatment of the article doesn’t change, but if there’s a lot to do, it’ll be shit. Likewise, the military is probably in the midst of a surge of discontent.
Of course, the generals would say that. In the first place, what do you little bastards know? The problem is the people below them. The soldiers and executives working directly with them must have been dissatisfied. Even the personnel deployed to unify North Korea will be more frustrated after seeing the treatment of the unified South Korean military.
“If something goes wrong, I think there could be a coup by the military, or even led by the military. Wouldn’t that be a big problem?”
“I think this is a bit dangerous… Maybe we should talk about it first.”
President Choi In-seok also sent me help, probably because he sensed that the public opinion and atmosphere were unusual. If I did something wrong, it would lead to a civil war, so there was nothing I could do about it.
-The current situation requires support or mediation from a unified Korea. I’m sorry, but about this…
“I will help you, but you will have to show your will, so be prepared.”
-If you tell me to prepare…?
“The ruling and opposition parties, regardless of the political or business community, should catch the dirty bastards and punish them clearly. This incident was caused by distrust of the judiciary and the anger that arose from them.”
-… But there will be a lot of backlash. It’s not a matter of public opinion, but all opposition from the political and business world.
Whether they are politicians or corporate bastards, they do not understand that they exist because of the people. Is it because the view changes when you stand on top? These guys are such shit.
If you can’t see it because it’s up there, you have to drag it down so that you can face it from the same perspective, but it’s a struggle to drag it down. What’s more, it’s so damned bad that people like that link up and cooperate when they think they’re in danger, which is even more annoying.
As I was wondering what to do, a good idea soon occurred to me. However, President Choi In-seok’s intention is important.
“I would like to ask you a few questions. How many years are left in President Choi In-seok’s term?”
-There are now about 3 years left. But why the term of office…?
“That’s just right. Then, as a president and politician, is your career important, or are the people more important?”
-…
After much deliberation, he finally decided on one side. His impression was acceptable based on my ability to see physiognomy, but I chose the good side here.
-I am the president. I was elected to this position by the people. So I think the people are important.
“Then let’s hit Bae Su-jin.”
-Bae Soo-jin…?
Anyway, it is customary for a person to retire after being president. So, isn’t it better to burn the rest of your political life and career that you won’t even use and have a blast?
When I think about what I have planned… Even though it is in the Gate District, it seems like it will be quite fun.
