Chapter 2146 – [I Want to Hit the President]

The Labyrinth Trial, a labyrinth for minors only, was created quickly. Just like the original trial, there was no intention of making it over 100 floors, and it was only a small labyrinth of about 20 floors at most.

It’s something light that kids can do… Oh, of course, since the goal is to train transcendents, it may be difficult to climb with ordinary sensitivity, but at least clearing the 20th floor can be done at the level of an armed human.

Of course, the standard for an armed person is a firearm, so it is a bit difficult to climb up bare-handed. As Labyrinth Island is Korean territory, gun ownership is restricted, so children cannot enter with guns, so they have no choice but to clear it using their own specifications.

“Wow, that’s quite an interesting structure. It seems like a good facility for our kids to test their skills.”

“I really don’t have anything to do this term, so I’ll just take care of the kids. Oh, you can stay with us for a while and take the kids to school.”

“The kids will like it. Then we’ll do it for a while.”

The Cheonmuhak Hall that the kids go to is located in Ilwolshinguk, but it has a portal facility. It is quite possible to go to school from my house.

Moreover, as in the labyrinth trial, there is a portal on Labyrinth Island, so it is easy to come and go… And since you have built a real portal facility, you can use it for a long time.

The two children, Wi A and Rina, who had learned well under their mother for a while, had grown up significantly even without seeing each other. Not just physically, but at a martial arts level.

“Daddy~!!!”

“We’re here!!!!!”

“Oh, yes. How are you? Oh, it looks like you both studied martial arts hard?”

“Yes!!! So my mom praised me!!!!”

“But you still lost to me.”

“Hey!!!! That’s because I don’t want you to get hurt!!!!”

Wi-ah learned the Heavenly Demon Shingong, and Lina learned the Taegeuk Spiral Sutra. What Wia is saying is not an excuse; the Cheonma Shinkong is a martial arts technique that is dangerous, so if used incorrectly, there is a high risk of an accident, so strength control is essential.

Moreover, girls at that age have better development. In addition, the Taiji Spiral Sutra that Lina learned is a Taijiquan-based martial art, so it can counter almost anything… In the end, the important thing in martial arts is not martial arts, but individual qualities, so I don’t know what will happen later, but for now, Wea is against Lina. It looks like we’re losing.

The two bickering children later met Jihee. Even though her stomach wasn’t full yet, she must have heard that she had a younger sibling. She touched Jihee’s tummy and chatted quietly while thinking about her younger sibling who would be born in a few months.

“Are you a younger brother or a younger sister? I like my younger brother!!!!”

“I like them both!!! Can’t we have twins like we did? But when does the belly get bigger?”

“Twins don’t always happen the way their parents want… Oh, and their bellies will grow bigger in a few months. Since they are yours, they will probably grow up quickly. I heard that you also grew really well while you were in your mother’s womb, so your mother had a hard time.”

“I don’t remember!!!!!”

“That’s natural. Does anyone remember the time when she was in her mother’s womb?”

“Jihee, did you call me?”

“Mister?!?!”

The mechanism of my reincarnation before being loaded is that after reincarnation, when I reach a certain age, I awaken from my past life and become myself. Well, if you go through something like a death crisis, you may wake up from your past life a little earlier due to shock, but anyway.

However, in this episode, since he was reincarnated after becoming a Lord, he had a clear consciousness since he was a baby. So, I have memories from when I was in my mother’s womb…

Anyway, the two children, Wea and Lina, stayed at our house for a while and went to school at Cheonmuhakgwan and even attempted to conquer the minor-only labyrinth of the Labyrinth Trial over the weekend.

“Ah!!! It’s difficult!!! I’m stuck on the 12th floor!!!!!”

“I’m on the 13th floor!!!”

“The characteristics of both are revealed.”

The 12th floor, where Wea is blocked, is where rubber bullets are flying from all directions to get to her destination, Safe Point. The power is not that strong, but it is quite fast and after a few effective hits, it is eliminated immediately, so feel and reaction speed are important.

The 13th floor, where Lina, a higher level, is blocked, is the destruction level. Strength and destructive power were important because more than a certain number of separately prepared breaking bricks had to be destroyed at once.

Wi-Ah, who learned the Heavenly Demon Divine Technique, lacked the ability to detect, and Lina, who learned the Taiji Spiral Sutra, didn’t have a single shot… So it wouldn’t be surprising if she got blocked there.

Still, when we conquered more than 10 of the 20 floors, the level of the two children, who were still in elementary school, was at an incredible level. I thought that the only minors who could achieve that level of achievement were those who were close to adulthood, such as high school students. However, despite the environment, the kids seem to have excellent qualifications.

“Dad, there are complaints coming up asking why minors are going into the labyrinth when kids are in there?”

“Hey, I guess I’ll have to broadcast an explanation. Okay, I’ll handle it.”

Originally, the Labyrinth Trial was prohibited for minors. However, if our children entered a labyrinth exclusively for minors, there can be talk of equity with that.

A quick explanation was needed because this was an issue that would raise eyebrows not only among Korean public opinion but also overseas. Turn on the lintel.

“Hey, it’s me, you guys.”

-This brother is still the same.

-Cheonmane’s twins are probably in elementary school now, but I heard they entered the labyrinth? Aren’t minors not allowed to enter the labyrinth?

“But that’s why I turned on the broadcast. I’m sure entering the labyrinth may have been against the law, but there’s no excuse, right?”

-If you do this wrong, controversy will arise.

-LOL This is the most controversial issue during the decades of Emperor Hung’s tenure.

-If the biggest controversy is that he favored his own children, doesn’t that mean he’s done really well so far?

-Is that so?

“Children… Anyway, minors are definitely not allowed to enter the labyrinth. No, Trial checked and made the decision in the first place, so minors are not allowed to enter.”

-But didn’t the twins go in?

“Well, the reason it was banned was because it was an existing labyrinth. The new one we created this time is a labyrinth exclusively for minors, and we let our kids go in there as a test.”

-Oh!!!!!

-So now kids can enter the labyrinth?

-But wasn’t it forbidden because even if resuscitation was possible, it would be a big problem if the children died? Can the policy change overnight?…

“So, in the case of the labyrinth for minors, the difficulty level was lowered and death was prevented. Even if the goal is to foster transcendents, children are still too young to experience the fear of death.”

-The fear of death is scary even for adults, brother…

– ㄹㅇ, I had resuscitation insurance, so I tried it, but once I died, I was so scared that I couldn’t go in.

-The current challengers must have died at least once, but seeing them continue to challenge the labyrinth is truly amazing.

-When will the minor-only labyrinth open, bro!!!!

“First, we’ll work on a few more details and open it soon. Oh, but children can’t enter the labyrinth, but adults can’t enter the labyrinth for minors? In the first place, the reward is at the level of children’s pocket money, so it’s purely for labyrinth preparation.”

-Where is that? Looking at it now, there are a lot of kids who want to drop out and become challengers, so they must be flocking in.

-Isn’t it that guys like Iljin are challengers and are installing it?

“Ah, that’s a problem too. Even if the level is low, if you go around armed and say you’re a challenger, that itself is annoying… Likewise, if kids have a criminal record, they shouldn’t be allowed to register as challengers.”

You can reflect. But that doesn’t mean I have any intention of letting kids with criminal records, such as school violence or theft, use force.

Among those kids, there may be some who have qualifications, but what is important is not their qualifications but their personality. No, I wonder if those who had that kind of humanity before could become transcendent.

After the broadcast, the controversy over the benefits I received from allowing my twin children to enter the labyrinth died down. And people’s attention was focused on the dungeon only for minors.

Even though it wasn’t their intention, it seems like they are trying to divert attention by covering up the controversy with controversy. I’m the type of person who says no, but looking at this makes me feel like a real politician.

In any case, public opinion is agitated in various ways because of the labyrinth exclusively for minors. Among them, the most influential thing was the enthusiasm of parents who were serious about their children’s academic competition and passion for education, especially the children’s mothers.

“Challenger is a job that is in the spotlight these days. Famous challengers receive advertisements and have companies as sponsors, so they feel like celebrities or sports players, so there are many parents who try to get their children who have no interest in studying into that career path.”

“It’s not easy to become a challenger…”

The walls of reality are high. Even if you have resuscitation insurance, overcoming death is difficult and requires talent.

If you have a certain level of success, you can make a living, but it won’t be easy to become a famous challenger. In short, if the top-ranked challengers are idols who debuted and succeeded, other challengers can be considered trainees or celebrities with moderate sales.

We need to look at it realistically and consider the child’s talents and dreams when deciding on a career path, but isn’t it a bit much to push the child into a career just because it’s easy and worth doing?

“Well, why don’t you take care of it yourself when you become an adult? Instead, if you drop out, there will be no room to do anything later when you drop out, so I think it would be better to limit admission to only those who attend school or at least pass the qualification exam.”

“Okay, then let’s do that.”

Wea and Rina also attend the Cheonmuhak Museum and are exploring the labyrinth on the weekends. It’s your own responsibility if you drop out and end up in the labyrinth, but shouldn’t you have a choice when you quit Challenger later?

Normally, you would drop out of high school, but if you quit Challenger and enter society, where would you put your resume with a middle school education? So, I think we should at least make them go to school.

With that in mind, we opened a labyrinth exclusively for minors. A separate entrance was set up here for children to enter, so children aspiring to become challengers gathered from all over the country.

“If I sign here, I too become a challenger, right?”

“Wow!!!!”

“There is no limit to the number of people entering, so please stand in line and enter slowly!!!! Please note that anyone who causes trouble by cutting in line, etc. May be restricted from entering the minors-only labyrinth!!!”

“Mom!!! I’m coming back!!!!”

“Go and do well!!!! It’s even better if you clear it!!!!”

Maybe it’s because all the kids gathered there, but it’s not a big fuss. Moreover, the already crowded Labyrinth Island became even more crowded as parents, the guardians of their children, came along.

And if you look closely, there were some polarizing parents. There was a family who forced a child who didn’t want to go into the labyrinth because they were scared just by looking at it, and forced them to go into the labyrinth… I feel mixed feelings when I see that.

“Children are still children and need to be protected by their parents… I think that would cause a lot of trouble.”

“Oh, I know that. I did that in the past, so it’s probably going to be a similar problem or even bigger than that.”

“Ugh, Jihee. Since you’re pregnant now, you shouldn’t think negatively about prenatal care.”

Ji-hee, who once gained freedom from her polarizing mother, seems to be a stranger. On the other hand, I could have predicted the catastrophe at the end, so I just hoped it wouldn’t be a big deal.

It would be a mistake to isolate yourself from your parents like Jihee and end up with a worse relationship than others. Even if it’s a children’s labyrinth, a child with the ability to climb there is enough to kill a person… We need to take care and protect it through policy to prevent corruption incidents from happening.

“No?!?!? You said you were taking a break, but you’re thinking about work again!!!!!! This damn occupational disease!!!!!!”

“Seeing as you, the Great Demon King, looking at civilization and thinking about the guilty factor, I don’t think it would be strange if you developed an occupational disease as president.”

“I have to hit the president or something… I have to show that I’m having fun, so they’ll vote for someone else in the next presidential election, so what should I do? If I play quietly, people won’t know, so I’ll have to make it known that I’m having fun.”

“Dad, then why don’t you just start with a normal room instead of a room for promotions or presentations? These days, it seems like they don’t broadcast at all?”

“Oh!!! That’s good!!!!!”

As Eden said, it felt like Internet broadcasts these days are used for policy promotion or announcements. So, each viewer gathers together to decide what to announce today.

So, without any particular reason, I thought I’d just turn on the broadcast and film him eating and drinking. I also play, and if people see that and complain about me not doing the president’s job, my approval rating will drop, which is a good thing.

“I think I’ll ban political material and film a mukbang + drinking show.”

“If you make it up to yourself, the person in front of you says you can’t date, so can you be my drinking partner?”

“Ah, suddenly I really want to drink alone.”

“How long are you going to keep me an old maid!!!!!”

First, prepare for the broadcast leisurely. When I was thinking about what to make for the menu, I just decided on pork belly.

Set up a barbecue party in the front yard, add charcoal to the grill, and light a fire. When the fire rises to a certain level, we turn on the broadcast and prepare to film the mukbang.

“Oh, it’s me.”

-Hello brother!!!!!

-? What’s wrong? You suddenly start broadcasting without any notice.

-What? But why grill meat?

“Guys, what do I have to do to turn on the broadcast? Today’s broadcast is just about grilling meat, eating, and drinking. I’m going to eat and drink leisurely, so please talk to me.”

-Eden fights with Nunna?

-Have you ever had a fight?

“You guys are saying shit. I just put on a broadcast without anything going on, so just come in quietly and sit down.”

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-It looks like you’re trying hard to hit the president, but it’s no use, bro.

-The presidential election was held this year, but I will elect a bad emperor again next time!!!!

-22222

-33333333

“It’s already crazy… Anyway, I’m putting meat on it.”

Cheeeeek!!!!

When I put the pork belly on the grill, the meat started to make delicious cooking sounds. Pork belly grilled over charcoal fire rises with smoke, and the scent of charcoal permeates the meat.

At the same time, I put something to eat separately on one side. There was a cast iron grill over there, where they stir-fry garlic and kimchi.

-Fuck, what a midnight snack terror attack at this hour!!!!

-Oh, I’m on a diet. Should I just eat pork belly and starve for a day?

“It’s good to lose weight, but don’t starve yourself. You have to eat moderately and exercise moderately to lose weight. If you try to lose weight while starving, you’ll ruin your body. You have to eat well.”

-Can I skip breakfast, bro?

“What did you mean by what I just said? Even if you eat lightly, eat as much as possible. If you starve in the morning, what’s wrong with not eating anything until lunch?”

-Haha, it’s okay. Drinking coffee at work can help you survive.

-Ah haha, instant coffee is our daily bread haha

-There are office workers who have never tried it, but there are no office workers who have tried it just once.

“No, eat, you bastards!!! Eat!!!!!!!”

While all the noise is going on, the meat is fully cooked, cut into appropriate sizes, and wrapped as is.

Pork belly with oil sauce + ssamjang, garlic cooked in oil and stir-fried kimchi. And even lettuce. When I put it all together, it was a bit big, but I just stuffed it into my mouth regardless.

The meat is good, and it is cooked well and has a great savory taste. The oily taste was easily overcome by the other ingredients. Then, to freshen my mouth, I open a bottle of soju and pour it into a soju glass and drink it.

“Keuuuuu!!! Good!!!”

-You eat it really well haha

-The reason Eden eats well is that she resembles her father haha.

“Anyway, I eat well. If I fill my meal with coffee or something like that, I feel weak. Especially that kind of instant coffee contains a lot of sugar, so you’re going to get diabetes.”

-I want to eat breakfast too, but it’s a hassle to prepare it at home, and it’s hard to eat it when I come out…

-It’s hard to wake up and make breakfast. Since I have a dual income, my wife also has to go to work, so I feel sorry and can’t even ask her to cook the food.

-They sell kimbap at a snack bar near the office, but I don’t eat the kimbap there because it’s so damn tasteless and the store’s hygiene is dirty.

-Something about the convenience store kimbap is not good. Maybe it’s because it’s factory-made, but it doesn’t taste good. Sometimes it’s harsh, so I feel bad when I pick something like that.

“Wow.”

I never thought there would be so many people in Korea starving without eating breakfast. It may be okay right now, but in the long run, it will ruin your body.

Suddenly a thought occurred to me. During this term, I thought of an event that would kill two birds with one stone: it would satisfy both my enjoyment and the opportunity to serve people as a chef for the first time in a while.

“I don’t eat it because various circumstances don’t allow it, but if it’s given to me, I’ll eat it, right?”

-ㅇㅇ, but why do you ask that?

-No way…

Even if you don’t eat a big meal, you should eat at least a bowl of kimbap in the morning to feel full and have the energy to work.

Let’s not pack too much, just about 10,000 lines.
