Chapter 28 – [What Is Life, Just Live as You Live]
The next day, Xion prepared to go out with me.
Compared to when I usually wake up early, this was unexpected for Zion.
“I have a lot of things to do when I go out.”
“Is it because of that yesterday? Didn’t I bother you for nothing?”
“Anyway, my job is to work from home, so all I do is roll around at home. Sometimes it’s good to go out and move around.”
“I move a lot in bed.”
“It’s different from that.”
Shion took his cell phone and made a call somewhere.
“Ah, Attorney Kim. It’s me. Are you free today? Oh, yes. Then come to my house.”
“The lawyer you were talking about last time?”
“I personally hired someone who was originally from the law firm. Because of my appearance, I have low trust, so I often have to be accompanied by a lawyer.”
“Because if you want to write a contract or something like that, you’ll be tired.”
Sandwich this morning. Add the marinated lettuce, bacon, ham, and cheese as ingredients. Fill the bread with butter in a frying pan and add mustard or ketchup little by little according to your taste.
“Sandwich dripping with mustard! Thick bacon that is hard to find in Korea! Ham! Cheese! Tomato and lettuce! It’s a combination that can’t be tasteless.”
As Shion ate, he raised his thumb as if agreeing with my opinion.
It was difficult to hold and eat because of the flowing mustard, but it was fun in its own way.
By the time I eat, wash, and get ready to go out. A car was parked outside. I was going to go out to pick it up because I wondered if it was parked in front of my house, but Xion stopped me.
“It just went well. I was going to introduce you to our attorney Kim, but didn’t you do it because you didn’t have time?”
“Ah, is it Lawyer Kim’s car that parked over there?”
Wait a minute, but was the profession of a lawyer the kind of job that comes when you call it like a driver?
“It’s okay if you pay 100 million won a month separately from the fee.”
“Admit”
100 million is not the name of the dog, and it is worth it if you give 100 million each for playing.
“I also picked out the car.”
“Then don’t you have to come even if I call you in the morning?”
If you hire a car and give them a monthly salary of 100 million won, there are many people who want to be drivers even if you call them without even trying. I said that the fee is separate.
I got ready to go to the store, and Shion got ready to work and went out of the house.
“Good morning, ma’am.”
“Sorry for calling you this morning. Attorney Kim”
“What? Isn’t it the normal office worker’s rush hour? I usually get up around this time too.”
He was a tall, mature man who appeared to be in his mid-thirties. He was the kind of person who, wearing square horn-rimmed glasses, would have given off a model student vibe when he was younger. He doesn’t have a bad impression, and given that Shion hired him, he appears to be a trustworthy person.
I reached out and asked to shake his hand.
“This is my husband”
“They say it’s the worst. Thank you for your support.”
“Ah, my name is Kim Jaehwan.”
We shook hands and handed over business cards. I wanted to hand over something too, but the owner of the chicken restaurant couldn’t have a business card, so he only gave me his contact information.
“I’ve heard a lot from you. I look forward to seeing you in the future.”
“No, did you hear something…”
I couldn’t think of anything good to say. If I hit the jackpot, I hit it. I don’t think there’s a good story.
Ah, if it was what Shion said, it might be a little different. If the bean pod is covered, you can see that it was not there.
Similarly, an elementary school student body that other people would not be interested in unless they are dyssexual, but it looks sexy to me. Of course, it’s because it’s Zion. I am not interested in elementary school students.
“It’s the way to go anyway, so please ride together.”
“Oh, is that okay?”
“Doesn’t Mr. Choi have a car?”
“I don’t like cars very much”
It’s because you buy an expensive car and don’t take care of it.
In the first place, what is the need to ride a slower means of transport than me? Except when traveling
“Let’s get on. I’ll take you there.”
“I don’t know if it’s okay to treat the lawyer like a driver like this…”
“If I didn’t have my wife, I would have been unemployed. In fact, I’ve had a chance to work in a manual labor field, so I can do it with a smile at least as a driver.”
“No, weren’t you a lawyer? What happened?”
“You’re talking about that as you go, right? In a little while, the traffic will be blocked.”
As I prepared with Xion, I felt like I came out later than usual. I got into the car first because I thought I would be in trouble even if I left now.
I sat in the passenger seat and Shion sat in the back seat. Perhaps because she got up early in the morning, Shion sat down and began to doze off.
“Do you remember the slush fund case of Congressman Chung two years ago?”
“Ah, that one fight? Because of that, I often saw the president’s face in a wheelchair.”
About 2 years ago Before I enlisted in the army, there was a big fight over slush funds. I think it’s probably the biggest case since the impeachment case, but I remember that several famous conglomerate presidents showed their faces and well-known members of the National Assembly also came out.
When I turn on the TV because of that incident in the middle of my military service, the only thing I can remember is the sound of it on the news.
“I became a lawyer because I wanted to defend the wronged person. I was taught that if you have committed a crime, there is a prosecutor, and if you are unfair, there is a lawyer.”
“You said you belonged to a law firm, but what does that have to do with it? Even if you were criticized for defending a member of the National Assembly, you wouldn’t have been kicked out of the law firm. Even a lawyer can’t only do what he likes.”
If you can live your life doing only what you love, you are truly blessed. The world is not easy, so there are many things that you have to break your will and endure.
Unless it is related to slush funds, I don’t think there will be much trouble with a lawyer. Did the law firm take the money?
“In fact, I tried to bury this case quietly. Put it on one of Congressman Chung’s deputy ministers.”
“You’re a member of our country’s National Assembly. It’s my speciality to cut off my tail and say I don’t know.”
“Because the vice minister was my senior.”
Sometimes there are people who are torn between their life and their beliefs. I’ve lived a long time too, but there are definitely many people who choose the former for that ratio.
Even more so in this Republic of Korea, whistleblowers do not benefit from doing so. The country cannot protect whistleblowers, and society cannot accept such people. To the subject that morally teaches honesty, the reality is the exact opposite.
“I thought about it a lot. I became a lawyer to help people who are going through unfair things, but I thought I couldn’t turn my eyes away. What’s next…”
“You’re an honest person. My wife says she has a good eye for people.”
Haha, thanks to my wife, I’m working hard at opening another office.”
If you were a lawyer at a large law firm, you had plenty of opportunities to make money. However, if he chooses a person who feels unfair about his position and his life, that person is a trustworthy person.
Since ancient times, there have been few cases of such a person betraying. If there was, it was just a case of threatening family members.
Before he knew it, he arrived at Myeong-dong Street. It’s a space where cars can’t enter, so you have to walk from here.
“Please take good care of our family”
“Yes, don’t worry, boss.”
I said good-bye and watched the car going away until the end. I was a little worried, but it seems that my wife and I are not going to get scammed or anything like that.
I’m glad I found a lawyer I can trust. Let’s get in touch later if someone strikes you and bites you.
* * *
“Brother! Brother! I got that trait again!”
“Now?”
“Ah, it’s only been a few days since I was asked to create a unique characteristic? Isn’t this quick enough?”
“No, it’s because the person I’m comparing to is a bit talented…”
When I learn something, there are monsters who come to realize the same thing in one day.
Still, fighting and winning are two different things.
“So, what are your traits?”
“Look at this”
Ugh!
Gaia Force began to dwell in Baekri’s body. It attracts not only what it holds, but also the forces around it and puts them on the skin.
It was like invisible armor protecting the body, as if I was wearing an interference force field using my abilities.
“A shield?”
“It’s not just this”
Baekri lifted the beer boxes piled up in the store with one hand. Even though there were five boxes piled up, he did not strengthen his body and only used one attribute.
“Looks like there’s a body strengthening ability as a bonus on the subject of a shield. It’s a common skill that would come out if you look at a person with supernatural powers.”
“Ah, Mr.! I worked hard to make it, but if I give you a little praise, what’s the point?”
“What’s the attribute name?”
“It’s reinforcement.”
“Because it’s true that it’s stronger… Strengthening the body and strengthening the defense are two different things. Combining them into one and using them is quite efficient. But why are you using the external Gaia force as well?”
“Yes?”
Baekri looked at me with eyes asking what he was talking about. Oh, it seems that I am not even aware of it myself.
Since it is difficult to see the external Gaia force being pulled and absorbed into his body unless he concentrates more, Baek-li, who has no concentration to look elsewhere, is unaware of it.
“Now you are using not only the Gaia force in your body, but also the Gaia force flowing outside and using that power. It seems that the effect is not the only one?”
“Would it have a different effect?”
“Yeah, I don’t know what it is.”
Maybe it’s just to save power. Since the amount of force in Baekri’s body was not high, it may have evolved to save power. All I have to offer is a hypothesis, but it’s better than not thinking.
“Even if I use this to the maximum, I can only use it for about 20 minutes. The amount of force is small.”
“If you train hard, your strength will increase. If nothing else happens, it will take a few years before you can fight in earnest.”
“It takes years?!”
“Don’t expect cheats from the beginning, and do it step by step.
“That’s right, it goes really slow at that time.
Suddenly, Baek-ri asked me.
“Hyung, you also deal with the Force, right? How much is the Force?”
“I don’t know your unit?”
“I heard it was about 7200GP when I measured it last time. I think there will be a difference from now, but will it be similar?”
“Is it a GP because it’s Gaia Force?
“Is there a God that you can sing?”
“Yes, Susanoo”
“Why are you a Japanese god? Or have you seen ninja cartoons?”
“Anyway, I don’t mean to talk about the amount of force.”
“Why?”
“For the power itself is infinite.”
“Did you write a cheat key?”
To be honest, it’s no different than a cheat key, so I have nothing to say. But I didn’t make it, I learned that it was made by a relative, so go ask the original author instead of me.
“Do you have any secrets?”
“You know martial arts, right? It comes out when you see martial arts.”
“Yes…Ah! Perhaps?”
“I’m learning a martial art. My Qigong, who accepts qi, learns this one and uses it everywhere.”
There are many martial arts such as punching, kicking, and martial arts that I have learned.
In order to deal with a monster with infinite hunger and camouflage, one must become infinite. It is a martial art created for that purpose.
“Covetous Mind Infinite Qigong (貪心無量氣功). That’s the name of the method I learned.”
“I thought there would be something like the Kungondaenai or the Old Yangshingong.
“You know the traditional martial arts, right? In fact, the martial art that is the foundation is the absorption law.”
“Please teach me too”
“No”
“……Can you not say that you are thinking about it?”
“This is a martial art that anyone can learn, but not everyone can learn.”
That is the motif of the guy who created this martial art. ‘Everybody can learn, but not everyone can learn’.
Opportunity is given equally, but it means that the result is oneself. That’s why he didn’t tell anyone other than me.
“It’s not magic, but it’s more dangerous than magic. If a good person learns, there’s no problem, but if a bad person learns, it turns into a monster.”
“Then I won’t learn”
“Quick decision is great Baekri”
Covetousness infinite qigong is divided into 5 stages.
Inhalation – The most basic stage of simply absorbing deception.
Absorption – A state in which one becomes skilled at absorbing energy and absorbs the vitality of objects.
Absorption – A state of absorbing not only vitality but also the material itself. At this point, even if you inhale, do not exhale. Only inhale
Breathing – The state of breathing through the body itself, not through the mouth. Humans will be able to fully breathe through their skin, allowing them to live even if their nose and mouth are covered.
Finally infinite.
“Even if it doesn’t go through a gas vein, the danjeon itself is connected to the outside and the danjeon changes. With a little enlightenment, the danjeon itself crystallizes and emits energy on its own, completing the Infinite Force Core.”
“Why is the name of martial arts’ complete form in English all of a sudden? Can’t we just call it something like Muyangsimdan in style?”
“I don’t know because I didn’t make it. Anyway, if you use it, you can think of it as infinite power system energy. Depending on the level, there may be differences in output.”
“Then, can’t you share some force? Looking at it, it seems that there are users who only supply force separately. I don’t think you can do it either.”
“It’s turned off right now”
“Is it like an engine?”
The difference between normal Danjeon and Infinity Force Core is that Danjeon is a kind of ability that is attributed to the body, whereas Infinity Force Core is a spiritual organ. Because it belongs to the soul, it can be used anytime and in any body, even after reincarnation.
However, when it dies, it puts the core to sleep. It’s like not starting a car you’re not going to use.
Since reincarnation, there is nothing to write about, so the core is still sleeping, but the engine can be started at any time. Of course, even if the engine is turned off, it can crush and kill Force users or hostile species with only the energy released little by little, like a heart in suspended animation.
“I don’t want to leave the ignition on at all times. It’s easy to turn it on, but it’s annoying to turn it off again. Besides, my personality might come out.”
“What kind of personality do you say?”
“Think about it. Do you think even the nicest person feels a little bit bad when you have a gun in your hand when a fucking senior fucks up in front of you?”
Because you have power, you want to wield it. The same goes for the logic of the bullies. Because the formula, ‘I can do this because I have this much power’ is established, absurd things are prevalent in society.
The infinite power that covers all the energy resources of this earth with just one ball the size of a fist brings a feeling of fullness and confidence just by having it. In the first place, since covetous Qigong is a product of desire, it is reasonable.
If I’m dizzy, I’ll be patient. It’s just that if you mention Padlip and Shion, the magic of ruining the business will unfold at that moment.
“Fortunately, there are quite a few things without the Infinity Force Core, so I’m just doing it. To be honest, I wonder if there’s anything in this life that could start this engine.”
“Hyung, you’re a complete fraud… Wait a minute. I heard you beat a Japanese master user the other day. Are you a fan of that state?”
“Yes”
“It’s not even power, so what the heck is that enough…”
“It’s best not to see my power”
If there is one day to see it, it is the day the earth is destroyed. The saying that great power comes with great responsibility is a famous line from Spider-Man’s Uncle Ben, but on the contrary, what you can do with that power is not limited to heroic things.
In the first place, Raccoon Man is a hobby and my main job is…….
“Hyung, I’m calling.”
“Ah, yes”
It vibrated in my pocket, so I took out my phone and looked at the person’s name on the screen.
Jo In-hyung was the team leader. He told me to call him if there was anything he could do, but no way……..
[Mr. Worst?]
“I can’t believe he’s a serial killer who has killed more people than me, right?”
[Yes, I have a favor to ask you]
An ominous feeling began to creep in.
