Genius Salsu of the World to Be Destroyed - Chapter 147
Only Noblemtl
Episode 147
Hotel Citadel.
A place now called the Citadel.
Youngsoo headed to the bar located in the basement.
“I don’t have time to drag this out like this… … .”
But there was no way.
They say there’s no representative, so we have to wait.
But I didn’t think it would be conveyed to the people below me.
Youngsoo had only one thing to say to the representative here.
‘I don’t know about other trees, but don’t cut down a tree that looks like a zelkova tree.’
Building a kingdom here and having a drinking party or whatever was going on wasn’t my immediate concern.
The key was that if red fog was released from another similar tree, another wave of monsters would erupt.
Because if that explodes, Youngsoo’s plans will be ruined.
‘Is this a bar?’
Youngsoo went straight into the basement.
There was a similar smell here as in the casino.
A typical classic bar.
Overall, the lighting is dark and the interior is heavy with mainly wood and leather.
Oddly enough, there were quite a few people there even though it was daytime.
Youngsoo sat at the bar.
The bartender approached.
“Would you like to order?”
“That, uh… … .”
I didn’t even bother asking for a menu.
Youngsoo said, handing over the chip he received from the concierge.
“Just give me whatever the price is.”
The bartender’s eyes widened slightly as he accepted the chips.
Soon a glass of wine was served.
The side dishes were also served.
Somehow it kept coming out.
I was thinking about having a drink or so, but something really fancy came out.
“… I guess the chips were expensive.”
Yeongsu had a quick breakfast and lunch with some snacks and alcohol.
When I tasted it, I realized it was just cheap canned food with nice plating.
But I understood.
In a world like today, canned food is the ultimate luxury.
Horok-
Youngsoo took a sip of his drink.
As the alcohol took effect, my thoughts started to increase.
The first thought that came to my mind was… … .
‘Why did something unexpected happen to me?’
First of all, this second bloody smog incident was like that.
If we go back in time a little further, the war with Hongryeon was also like that.
These were events that Youngsoo could not have predicted.
If you think about it carefully, it was clearly a strange thing.
Up until now, Youngsoo has known about almost all incidents in advance and dealt with them accordingly.
Because these are things we’ve all experienced in games.
The war in Eldrunia was like that, and the Great Battle of Jeongma in the Central Plains was like that.
What happened there was completely predictable.
however…….
‘The events that take place here, in our world, on Earth, are unpredictable.’
It was a question that should have been asked a long time ago, but somehow it just passed by like a snake jumping over a wall.
Well, I somehow managed to deal with it and solve it.
But now I see that this was a problem that couldn’t be overlooked.
Because unexpected events become variables, and variables become factors that ruin plans.
‘Okay, let’s start from the basics.’
What is an incident?
Two things are necessary for an incident to occur.
Characters and background.
What kind of people and background are involved in the event called the Eldrunia War?
It consists of two things: the characters called Elves and the background called Eldrunia.
And I knew all about these things.
Because I’ve experienced it all in games.
The same goes for the Jeongma War.
I knew the characters called Murimin, and I also knew the background of Murim.
That’s why I was able to control the Jeongma War as I pleased.
But what about the events that take place on Earth?
I know quite a bit about the ‘background’ of Earth.
Because I knew where all the relics, items, and monsters were.
But what about ‘person’?
“… I got the answer.”
Youngsoo knew nothing about the people of Earth.
All the Earthlings I met in the game were just poor AIs.
During the 50 years he spent playing the game, Youngsoo had never met Gapseok, Inwoo, or his disciples.
On the other hand, Swath and the Pope met several times in the game.
I’ve seen Mugang and Cheonma several times in the game as well.
This is… … .
‘Humans on Earth are not reflected in the game… … .’
Now I understand why we didn’t foresee the second bloody smog event.
The people here who caused the second bloody smog incident were similar to those who beheaded people.
Since they were not in the game, the second Bloody Smog incident did not occur in the game.
Then, one more question arises here.
‘Why weren’t the people of Earth in the game?’
The elves I saw in the game and the elves in real life were the same.
The martial artists I saw in the game and the martial artists in real life were the same.
But the people of Earth were an exception.
What on earth does this mean?
Could this have something to do with why I was stuck in a game for 50 years, why the world is like this?
or not…….
Fondant.
Cheeeeeee-
Someone put a cigarette in Youngsoo’s glass.
The cigarette went out, turning the whiskey to ash.
Yeongsu raised his head and looked up at the man who had put the cigarette in.
It was a man.
In appearance, he looks about the same age as Yeongsu.
Neatly combed hair, neatly trimmed beard, well-tailored suit.
‘This kid… … .’
Yeongsu didn’t hide his displeased expression.
But the man spoke to Yeongsu with a faint smile on his lips.
“You were looking for me?”
“… Are you the representative here?”
“Is that so? Anyway, let’s leave that cheap alcohol behind and go upstairs. There’s better alcohol upstairs.”
“I was planning on just saying what I had to say and leaving. I’ll just say it here.”
“I don’t like it. I feel like I’m going to vomit if I stay around these gambling addicts for too long.”
Youngsoo burst out laughing.
“Aren’t these the addicts you created?”
“Do I have to like everything I made? I don’t even like my own shit. Oh, is that your taste?”
“…go up.”
Youngsoo got up from his seat.
The man smiled brightly and patted Youngsu on the back.
“I thought about it carefully. Let’s go.”
So Youngsoo started to follow him.
Yeongsu watched him quietly from behind.
‘…all movements are extremely restrained.’
Her movements were so quiet that she didn’t make a single sound even when walking on a stone floor wearing high heels.
It was a method of killing.
That too-
‘That’s a considerable amount of killing.’
Yeongsu followed him without letting go of his guard.
So they arrived in front of an elevator.
Youngsoo was puzzled.
‘You’re using the elevator?’
How can we use the elevator when there is no electricity?
The moment he thought that, the man opened the elevator door with his bare hands.
The door opened smoothly, almost like a sliding door.
The man said.
“Taj?”
“… … .”
Yeongsu thought as he followed the man.
‘Even if you open the door manually, how do you plan on moving it?’
At that moment, the man pulled the string hanging from the ceiling and rang the bell.
Tiring-
The bell rang and a moment later, the elevator started moving.
So the elevator arrived at the top floor of the hotel.
When they opened the door, a man in a suit greeted them.
“Are you here?”
“Oh, Secretary Choi. This is my guest.”
As soon as he got off the elevator, Youngsoo was able to figure out how the elevator worked.
Two men were turning a large pulley installed next to the elevator.
Sweat poured down like rain from all over his body.
This elevator was powered by human power, not electricity.
Squeak-
A man named Secretary Choi opened the door to one of the rooms.
Youngsoo and the man entered the room.
The man said.
“Come in. This is my office.”
It was a huge room.
Top-of-the-line suite featuring a bar, outdoor pool, billiards table, grand piano, fireplace and chandelier.
That room, which cost 40 million won per night, was being used as this man’s office.
Youngsoo sat across from the man across a table.
The man spoke first.
“Let me introduce myself formally. I am the master of the castle, Chu Hyeong-in.”
“It’s Cheon Yeong-su.”
Slurp slurp-
Hyung-in poured alcohol into the glasses on the table.
Even with my limited knowledge of alcohol, I could tell that it was quite expensive.
Hyung-in asked, handing over a glass of alcohol.
“So, how do you feel? It feels like you’ve taken a tour of my kingdom.”
“It felt like I was seeing a kingdom of unbridled pleasure.”
“Hmm, no. Why aren’t there any reins? We have our own order, too. It’s just not the law and order.”
“… … ?”
“Well, anyway, Mr. Cheon Yeong-su? If you have something to say, then say it.”
Youngsoo looked around briefly.
Then, Youngsu’s gaze was fixed on the fireplace.
To be exact, a pile of firewood next to the fireplace.
Yeongsu walked towards the pile of firewood, took out a piece of firewood, and spoke.
“This, this tree. It’s a tree called a moss tree.”
“Why that tree?”
“It’s okay to cut down other trees, but you must not cut down this tree. Absolutely not.”
“Are you ordering me around right now?”
My brother’s face, which had been flustered, suddenly hardened.
But Youngsu didn’t even blink an eye.
“It’s not an order, it’s advice.”
Empty.
Yeongsu continued speaking while placing firewood similar to a log on the table.
“If you cut down this tree, all the poisonous substances stored in its roots will be released. Did you see the red fog that burst out a while ago? That’s a substance that stimulates monsters. If we’re not careful, this area could be swept away by monsters.”
“Hmm… … .”
Just right, just right, just right, just right… … .
Hyung-in tapped the armrest of the chair with the tip of his fingernail.
“… So, for our sake, don’t cut down that tree?”
“okay.”
“So, won’t you come under me?”
Yeongsu was speechless.
“… Have you ever listened to people?”
“I kind of like you. You’re so cool, and the vibe you give off.”
“hey.”
“After you come under me, you can take care of the kids under that tree. Isn’t that okay? I’ll give you a managerial position right away.”
A sudden rash with unknown English.
A shocking communication skill where you only say what you want to say.
Youngsoo couldn’t keep up with the human’s emotional ups and downs and the flow of his thoughts.
‘What the hell are you doing…?’
Suddenly, Youngsoo raised his gaze above his brother’s head.
Because I wanted to see my brother’s KP once.
But what’s floating there is… … .
[KP: ▉▉@%▉##▉▉▉]
Just broken letters with no clear meaning.
The KP of Chuhyungin has not been confirmed.
‘What the heck, this little brat… … ?’
Youngsoo’s mind became complicated.
Have I ever seen such a strange phenomenon… …?
“So, Mr. Cheon Yeong-su. What’s your answer?”
Hyung-in was looking at Yeong-su with bright eyes.
This man was truly looking forward to it.
Youngsoo coming under him.
Yeongsu said with a light sigh.
“… It seems like I didn’t introduce myself well enough. I’m also a guild master. I’m the leader of a group.”
“so?”
“How can the guild leader just go under someone else?”
“Why doesn’t it work?”
Youngsoo sighed shallowly.
No, it won’t work.
This guy wasn’t the type of guy who could be properly persuaded or communicated with.
“… Anyway, don’t cut down that tree. That’s all I have to say.”
Youngsoo got up from his seat.
“I’m going.”
Hyung-in followed Yeong-su out of the office.
“Hey, hey!”
“Just remember one thing. Don’t cut off the neck.”
“…You really came here to say that one thing?”
“Yeah. It’s not an order, it’s not a threat, and I’m not here to take advantage of anything. That’s it.”
“under…….”
Hyung-in let out a short sigh and spoke to Secretary Choi next to him.
“Did you hear? From now on, the same trees will be excluded from logging.”
“It’s a tree… …?”
Knock knock-
The door opened and Youngsoo got on the elevator.
“Go.”
Youngsoo closed the elevator door.
The workers started turning the pulley again to lower the water to the lower level.
The older brother said to his secretary.
“There’s a log on the table in my office. It looks like a tree. Don’t cut it down. If something happens, it’ll only cause trouble for us.”
“Okay, I’ll make sure to pass this on to my staff.”
“okay.”
Hyung-in turned around and tried to go into his office.
At that moment, Hyung-in suddenly stopped walking.
“That’s not true.”
Sling.
Hyung-in took a sword from his inventory.
“Representative?!”
“Get out of the way.”
Crunch!
My brother cut the pulley rope with a knife.
