◈ 218. Generation change (3)

I felt pain every time I ran, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t move.

Even though he tried to pass everything on to his only son, his son still felt inadequate.

No, to be exact, Jincheol was too healthy to retire.

Jincheol was still too young to retire, and his son was still a minor and had not yet become an adult.

Of course, it wasn’t like Jincheol was handing over the footsteps group that he had been raising up until now.

Cash up.

It was the force that helped an insignificant young man grow into the owner of one of the world’s leading companies.

It was also a power that could prevent the destruction of the world.

The restriction on transferring that cash-up to others has been lifted.

The condition for lifting the restriction was running 1000 full course marathons.

Of course, there were a few more conditions, but those conditions had already been met.

“To another trustworthy person….”

Of course, it could be transferred to someone other than the child.

Of all the people I’ve met so far, there were some who were decent people.

Of course, there are things about people that you cannot understand even after being together for a long time.

But Jincheol’s age was a problem.

Those around Jincheol were also just as old as Jincheol.

“You start over from level 1. It will take at least 20 years to level up again.”

This was a story about a time when I worked very diligently and luck was on my side.

I wasn’t sure if I could get past level 20, but I figured I could get there within a year or so if my legs were in good shape.

However, it was expected that it would take at least 3 to 4 years as the leg was not normal.

If you transfer your Cashup account, all the level experience points Jincheol has accumulated so far will be reset.

You have to level up again from the beginning.

Of course, all the buffs disappeared as well.

It seemed like the accumulated points were the same, but since he had earned so much, Jincheol planned to use most of the accumulated points even if he transferred the account.

Although it was a fresh start, it was not without its advantages.

First, the amount of points earned is increased by 30%, and the cost of points shops and various travel destinations is reduced by 10%.

There were many other benefits, so not only would he not have to struggle as much as Jincheol, but he would also be able to level up sooner.

If the cash-up could be transferred to the grandson again, it might be easier to save the world.

Although countless people have been sacrificed to various disasters, catastrophes, and wars around the world, the number still exceeds 5 billion.

Despite the enormous damage and sacrifice suffered in World War I and World War II, humanity prospered again.

This disaster may also end up being a trial for humanity to leap forward.

Of course, if we had not overcome the ordeal, humanity might have disappeared from the Earth without a sound.

He was a human who could not even live for 100 years.

The heyday lasted only 20 years at the shortest and 40 years at the longest.

That short period of time was too short to determine the fate of the Earth or humanity.

“3~4 years. I’ll have to move on after I reach level 20.”

Jincheol decided to do everything he could to improve the situation.

But maybe it was slowing down the worsening of the situation rather than improving it.

Jincheol no longer engaged in outside activities.

The Footsteps Group was also managed by professional managers.

Of course, they were affiliates of the Balgeum Group that had been operating under a professional management system from the beginning.

There was no truth to the argument that owner-centered management or professional-centered management was better.

Each had its pros and cons, and in the end, it was people who were the problem.

Problems will be reduced when the right person, whether the owner or a professional manager, leads the group.

Because the Balbal Group had been run by professional managers since the past, there was no immediate problem even if Jincheol stepped down from the front line.

In any case, Jincheol, as the chairman, had no choice but to step forward when making major decisions within the group.

“The Footsteps Group will not hand over management rights to his son.”

“Mr. Chairman! Does that mean we will completely transition to a professional management system?”

“Are you saying that you will not leave your inheritance to your children? Then what are you going to do with the property?”

The fact that Jincheol underwent a thorough examination at the hospital after completing his 1,000th full course marathon was also revealed by the media.

Of course, since the exact condition was unknown, there was a lot of speculation.

Rumors started to circulate, from his health to the fact that he had an incurable disease and was given a limited time to live.

In the midst of all this, the announcement that he would step down from the management front line and not pass the Baljeol Group on to his son was a shock not only to South Korea but also to neighboring countries.

Although numerous reporters asked questions at the press conference, Jincheol did not really clear up the numerous suspicions.

Jincheol turned around after saying what he wanted to say, but he couldn’t do anything about the reporters who were a big shot in the political and financial world.

As most industries were collapsing, the influence of Jincheol’s footsteps group had grown significantly.

Even the government would have had a difficult time without the cooperation of the footsteps group.

“Are you sure you’re okay?”

“What can I do? I’ve been running all this time. It’s time to rest now.”

“You’re not resting, you’re just doing something else. You’re not paying attention.”

“That’s true. Anyway, congratulations on your daughter.”

“Ha! How hard it was for me to persuade you.”

Jincheol and Jaebeom eventually married Shinbi and had a daughter.

“But how did you convince him? I had already taken the handle of the sword of wealth away.”

“Ah! I said that once a woman turns thirty, she has no value as property.”

“…….”

Jincheol was shocked at Jaewoo’s remark, which seemed likely to be very controversial.

“Don’t have a son.”

“How can that be done the way I want it to be?”

Although he had some concerns after having a daughter, Jae-woo never intended to turn his daughter into property.

Of course, Jincheol was the same, so he had no intention of letting the sword of wealth come out into the world.

It was a mystery that believed that it was its destiny to sacrifice itself to save the world at a time of disaster and calamity that would bring about the destruction of the world.

That’s why I’ve been rejecting Jae-woo’s advances until now.

Shinbi also seemed shocked by Jaewoo’s nonsense.

And then, somehow, Shinbi got pregnant and they even had a wedding.

In fact, Jae-woo’s physical condition wasn’t that good either.

Because it was difficult for him to receive treatment and recovery at home like Jincheol, he had been pulling the bow all this time, and his shoulder and arm muscles were worn out.

Jae-woo’s condition was so bad that he had shoulder surgery, so he gave up his bow and started using a crossbow.

“Is the crossbow okay?”

“The crossbow has better accuracy and power, although its rate of fire is lower.”

“In that case, why don’t you just use a gun?”

“The gun didn’t hit at all.”

Unlike Shinbi, Gun didn’t seem to get along well with Jaewoo.

“Then you just retire.”

“Hey. I’m not dead yet. I’m still going strong!”

Jincheol looked at the wrinkles around Jaewoo’s eyes and realized that they had indeed gotten older.

So Jincheol stepped down from his official position to solve the problems he had to solve.

Although he was virtually in seclusion, he still had to continue to be active.

Jae-woo also didn’t show his official appearance like Jin-cheol, but he couldn’t afford to watch his cute daughter’s antics.

A year after Jincheol retired, a cure for the Haze virus was developed.

Vaccines developed in the past were found to have fatal problems.

It has been revealed that vaccines create intelligent zombies.

Although they did not act like zombies, losing their minds and attacking people, they were found to have a desire to infect uninfected people.

It’s about becoming a zombie that wants to destroy the world among ordinary people.

It was not known how many alpha zombies the vaccine had created.

Jincheol didn’t know that Alpha Zombie was created like this, so he couldn’t stop it.

Of course, it was difficult to stop the vaccination because there was no ability to stop it.

Although the drug use in Korea was prevented by continuously raising safety issues, there was no guarantee that there were no alpha zombies in Korea.

The Haze virus also evolved through continued infection, creating numerous mutant viruses.

More and more cases of infection began to appear around the world.

Meanwhile, the development of a cure became an opportunity to treat infected people rather than just incinerate them.

Of course, there were strict requirements that the treatment had to be administered within 24 hours of the onset of seizure symptoms, but it was possible to treat many infected people.

The effectiveness of this treatment has increased dramatically since reagents have been developed that can diagnose whether or not someone has been infected with the virus, making it possible to identify those who are carriers of the virus.

There has been much debate about how to dispose of infected people since they have not yet developed symptoms, but the development of treatments has helped to put an end to these debates.

The problem, however, was that this cure was difficult to distribute to countries or regions where the government had effectively collapsed or was not functioning properly.

In addition, there were countries and groups that wanted to weaponize this Haze virus.

Human greed was so great that it would not disappear even after destroying itself.

Although it is not known exactly how the Haze virus was created, opinions differing slightly from the expectation that it would be one of the biggest causes of the destruction of humanity have emerged.

And things were going according to plan.

“Once a vaccine is developed, will the H1N1 virus be completely eradicated?”

“It will probably be difficult. However, since a cure has been developed, if a preventive drug is developed for the Haze virus, like AIDS, it seems that it could become a manageable disease by suppressing the onset of symptoms.”

“then?”

“Well, it would be coexistence with zombies. Just as humans have coexisted with numerous diseases so far, it is highly likely that a world will come where the Haze virus will coexist with it. Of course, if a vaccine that can completely prevent it or a treatment that can completely eliminate the virus is developed, it may be possible to eradicate it like past epidemics.”

“This could be a pretty disappointing conclusion.”

“Isn’t that how things are in this world? Still, since treatments have been developed and diagnostic methods have been developed, we will move into the realm of management, just like we did with COVID-19.”

The prospect of coexistence with zombies was very repulsive to some people, but it was not like the world would be destroyed immediately as depicted in the movies.

And above all, Earth’s zombies would die or become immobile within a few days if they did not consume food.

Even when zombies broke out in sparsely populated areas, the mortality rate of the infected was very high, so the spread of the virus was not as great as expected.

Even if you were bitten by an infected person, you could be treated by diagnosing the infection and then using medication when the seizure occurred.

However, those who sought to exploit the Haze virus for military purposes were the problem.

The mercenary group led by Viscount Vincent, who had been of great help in developing a cure, became a secret organization that eradicated any group that wanted to exploit the Haze Virus.

However, not only did they fail to secure a complete vaccine, they were also unable to bring dawn back to the city of twilight.

It seemed that Jincheol did not yet have the ability to clear the red level.
