Chapter 32 – [What Is Life, Just Live the Way You Live]

Worst, who went to work the next day, received a glare from Baekri again.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Are you asking because you don’t know?”

“Yeah, I don’t know”

“I don’t know if it’s because I’ve beaten a master user in our country and the reaction is the same as usual.

“The answer is the latter”

“It’s not something to be proud of, isn’t it?”

“If you told me to do it, I would do anything.”

“And what if it goes wrong?”

“It’s my responsibility as much as the mistake, so I have to do something. Later, when he goes to jail, visit him and feed him some food.”

“……Really?”

“Yeah, really”

Brilliant life! It’s not that he didn’t go to jail at the worst, but most of the cases he didn’t go or couldn’t go because he solved it almost by force.

Which of the two is better is better not to go. It’s just that the worst thing is that I don’t want to go.

If you can’t go, it’s when the prison doesn’t do its job. In short, it is meaningless even if the country collapses and society collapses.

“When I saw the video, they used something like a special move, but that was great.”

“It’s a special move because it always kills. If you don’t kill, it’s not a special move.”

“What’s your criteria?”

“Based on the left lead!”

“One! Ah… Don’t hit the army drip!”

“Baby, you haven’t had enough time yet.”

If you put it that way, the worst was still discharged at the beginning of this year.

Sometimes, I dream of re-enlisting in the army because of a computer error.

“If it’s a skill that won in a fight with a master user, it’s crazy. Can you learn that?”

“Do you want to test it? Put your hands together for a moment.”

At the worst words, Baek-ri gathered both hands and spread them out. It looked like he was politely begging for something, but his behavior was similar.

“Look around the Gaia Force in your hand. Preferably, in a form that forms a circle on your hand.”

“Ah yes”

The intangible energy that only those who have awakened Gaia Force can see floated up in the form of spheres on Baekri’s palm.

Worst stuck his finger into the orb. A very small amount of gray haze emanated from his fingers. Then, as if a match had been dropped on oil, a haze spread and burned the Gaia Force, which had been clumped together by white lilies.

“Huh?! Huh?!”

“Hey, don’t move. Stay focused.”

Baekri was surprised by the unexpected situation, but the gray haze ravenously devoured his Gaia Force. No, erosion is more accurate. First erode, kill, then disturb.

Both of them have this ability, so there’s not much damage, but if it came into contact with a person’s body, it was a power that would save you the trouble of disposing of the body. Even though I only spilled a little with my finger, it was at this level.

Despite Baekri’s efforts, the gray haze soon went out. In order not to turn it off, he continued to inject Gaia Force, but the burning speed was faster than the injecting speed, so the holding time was only slightly increased.

“Oh, that’s surprising. You won’t be able to learn this.”

“Can you tell by this?

“That’s a way to judge other things. I can’t learn because I can’t even meet the minimum conditions.”

“Is it because of lack of something?”

“Hate, hatred, anger, something like that”

“Ugh, what’s so embarrassing about that”

“What can I do?

The foundation of the extinct dragon is based on hatred and anger. This ability was created by endowing it with power based on endless negative feelings toward dragons.

That is why, except in exceptional cases, people with weak hatred or anger cannot learn.

“Even if it’s the same Gaia force, the ingredients change little by little when it’s in a person’s body. Since the force inside you has your will, if you had something like hatred or anger deep inside, you would have burned it more vigorously as food. But you’re kind, so I’m told there’s no such thing, so what can I do?”

“Well, I’m glad it’s still good. I’d rather not use it.”

“Don’t keep thinking about learning only strong things or strange things, but keep working hard. What’s better is to practice combat.”

“It’s because I can’t do it in real life…”

“I’m not asking you to fight against the enemy and fight until someone dies. There’s someone worth fighting with.”

“……Ruri?”

“He’s stronger than you. First of all, beat your little sister.”

“I think it’s an out for an older brother to hit or hit a younger sister.”

“Originally, siblings were born to kill each other.”

“Don’t be crazy”

“Living in a crazy world makes normal people crazy”

“This is a normal world?!”

“If you’re like me, do you think a world where monsters pop out and people fight with swords is normal?”

Bailey had nothing to say. It was always like this, at least he remembered, but it was not normal.

“There are too many naughty bastards living in the world. That’s why there are so many things to do.”

“……How many times have you tried it? Something like that.”

“I do not remember”

The worst smiled lightly. It wasn’t a funny laugh, it was a self-deprecating laugh.

“Don’t be a guy like me. For about 100 years, laugh when you’re happy and cry when you’re sad. Then, when you’re old and sick or old, dying quietly surrounded by your family is the happiest.”

“It doesn’t touch me. But… I get it.”

A person realizes what is precious only after it is already out of his hands. I regret it only after it has already disappeared, and I look for it only after I forget it, but it is too late.

Worst of all, you can’t live a normal life. Even if he wants to live quietly, his strength and personality are not suitable for enduring the absurdity of the world.

“A lot of power comes with a lot of responsibility or a lot of irresponsibility. So if you don’t have any power, there’s no responsibility in the first place, so don’t be strong and practice how to fry chicken.”

“It’s not like you’re going to live frying chicken for the rest of your life, right?!”

“I’ll give you the whole store in 10 years”

“I’m going to bury the bones here. Can I make the batter first?”

Baekri is also thinking of his own vision, but the amount offered by Worst was too large for that.

Even though the land price has dropped a bit since the appearance of the red species, in the end, it is a chicken restaurant that sells well in the yolk building in the most crowded area in Korea. There is a possibility that it will rise further if we think about the future.

“Ah, Mr. Seo-ae is coming. Are you ready to open the store today?”

“Yes, I’ve done it.”

Today, Myeong-dong chicken restaurant [Shall we fry chicken?] Opened as usual.

*        *    *

He does business as usual, but today a different customer came.

“Hello? I’m Jin Chang-sik, the VJ Special Forces PD of YBS Broadcasting Station.”

The person who came to me with a business card was the producer of a program I watch every Friday. Since [Should I Raise the Chicken?] Is closed every Saturday, it is also the last TV program to watch on Friday evenings before the holidays.

“Oh, I’m watching that show. But what are you doing?”

“Are you the owner of this store? Nothing else, our restaurant concept this time is a chicken restaurant. I came here to see if you would like to appear on the show.”

“Okay, can we do it over the phone?”

“This house doesn’t have a phone number.”

The worst stores do not take separate delivery orders and do not take pre-orders. All you have to do is come in person and order and pick up or eat in the store.

So there was no need to call the store, so there was no publicity. It became famous mostly because of word of mouth.

“We can only guarantee a small amount of appearance fee and the advertising effect of the shop. Excuse me, but the budget is a bit tight…”

“The bad game is here and there. It’s a lot of trouble.”

It is a long-lived program that has been going on for 20 years, but now there are many similar or more popular programs. Mukbang is the trend, so the number of broadcasts on that side increased a lot, and I was barely holding on in the gap.

It doesn’t matter how old you are on a TV show. Just how popular it is is more important.

“When are you filming?”

“Ah, do you allow it?”

“I heard about it because it’s a program I’ve seen often since the old days.

“When do you usually start preparing the ingredients?

“We do it in the evening when the store closes that day. Our store closes early.”

“It’s too much for today, I’ll see you in the evening the day after tomorrow. In the evening, if I film the cooking scene and the reaction of the guests after filming the ingredients… I’m sure there’ll be a certain amount.”

It only takes about 10 minutes to film and broadcast all day long, but that alone is enough to contain the content.

Worst of all, he gave me the PD’s business card and gave me his phone number. And I just sent it back, so I fried the leftover chicken and gave it to him.

“Ah, I’ll eat this well. Then see you tomorrow.”

“Get in well so you don’t get into an accident”

PD Jin returns and only the worst and 100 li are left in the store again. Jin Seo-ae always returns home early because of her child, so the two of them always prepare the ingredients.

“Wow, now I’m on the air”

“I think I need to prepare more ingredients than usual when I go on air.

“After that?”

“If you lose popularity, it will decrease, but if you have regular customers, you will have more customers.”

This is a case of visiting once out of curiosity and becoming a regular customer.

“We didn’t promote our store properly, but rumors are so fast”

“These days, it spreads well through Instagram or Facebook. I do it sometimes, too, and it’s quite famous.”

“It’s strange that you don’t become famous when you have a good seat and good taste.”

If a restaurant is delicious, cheap, and has a good location, it has no choice but to become famous. At least it took a while because the store didn’t deliver, but it was becoming famous little by little.

“I don’t think about anything else, so I pay attention when I’m in the food business. I use large chickens. I make sure to season them well. The building is my wife’s, so I don’t have a deposit, so I can sell it cheaply by lowering the unit price.”

“When the broadcast comes out, I can at least show my face, right?”

“I’ll be sad if the opening credits for our store don’t come out. Show off to your friends later that you’re on TV.”

I finish the shop for the day and go home. As usual, Shion came out to the front door to meet me.

“Have you been?”

“Did anything happen while I was gone?”

“No big deal. What happened to you?”

“The broadcasting offer came in. That’s why the VJ Special Forces. There’s something we watch every Friday evening.”

“Oh, you mean that program?”

While having dinner, the two talked about the broadcast offer.

“It’s a broadcast appearance. I don’t know how many years you’ve been on TV normally.”

“I also want to come out as normal as possible.”

“The most recent was when I demolished a building and walked around with only my panties on, saying, ‘It’s payoen, you 10-year-olds!'”

“……When was that? I can’t remember too well.”

“Don’t pretend you don’t know”

How will the reincarnated remember? The brain, which is responsible for the memory of ordinary people, returns only to a handful of soil when they become a soul, so how can they be aware of themselves?

The answer lies in the soul. All the worst memories were imprinted in the soul because they were not fixed in form. If there is a solid self-awareness and an understanding of the soul, from that moment the concept of oblivion disappears.

I don’t know if that’s a blessing or a curse.

“Are you going to reveal the secret?”

“What do you have to do? It’s just a bit difficult to just trim the ingredients and do that. If you look at the houses that reveal their secrets, it’s all because it’s so difficult that I can’t follow it.”

While the worst was sitting on his lap and hugging Shion and watching TV, a call rang on his cell phone.

The name floating on the caller was Jo In-hyeong, the team leader.

[Hello, this is Team Leader Joe. I’m sorry for calling you late at night, but […

“I can’t say much because I have a sin. What is it?”

[Why did you do that?!]

Team leader Jo basically speaks politely to the worst. However, this case had to be harsh because the matter was serious.

It’s good to save people from fires, beat enemies and save people.

But in some ways, beating the master user, who could be called the face of the country more than the president, was a different story.

“It’s an excuse, but you sent me over there. I went and beat the enemy species, and then hit the guy who turned around. The only crime I have is to clap my hands.”

[Isn’t it okay if Mr. Choi avoided it?]

“Then you should have stunned and bounced with one fist? I think that would rather hurt your prestige?”

A battle between master users. It became an even bigger fire because it was an impossible fight.

Only seven in the world. No, with this incident, there are only eight, including the worst.

As the prestige of the country is at stake, there is no competition with each other even if they go to overseas dispatch issues. Even if they compete, they do not leave it as data. If it is leaked, the image of the country will be tarnished.

Master users are always curious.

Where you stand, how strong you are, and what your limits are.

Master users around the world will already have different thoughts after watching the video.

[It made noise even in the upper ranks. Videos are down, but due to the nature of the Internet, it is difficult to delete them. It is also difficult to delete videos that have been uploaded to overseas sites. Fortunately, Mr. Choi is presumed to be Korean, so there is no bad impression nationally.]

If Lee Kyung-jin fought against another master user overseas and lost, it might not be possible, but the country where Raccoon Man first appeared was also Korea. Since she was presumed to be Korean, it ended up fighting between master users in her country, so she could move on to domestic issues.

[Rather, it became an opportunity for the general public to know the master user’s skills. It’s not that there aren’t broadcasts featuring Force users, but there aren’t any videos of them fighting in earnest.]

“It’s nice to hear that, but what’s the problem?”

[This incident led to the formation of a Raccoon Man countermeasures team]

“What are you doing?”

[In short, I want to catch you]

What had happened so far was just a happening. It seems you can’t see it now.

Worst of all, he spit out disgust with a rotten expression.

“Fuck”
