◈ 220. Hyunjin (2)

I didn’t have any particular dreams.

The memories of a world of abundance were faint, and by the time he came of age, the world was already in decline.

Of course, there were quite a few opinions as to whether the world was in decline, but by past standards, human civilization and its realm were shrinking.

In any case, it was difficult for a single individual to change the vast world.

The world is not so easy to change just because some people try to change it.

Although he thought he was extremely ordinary, Hyunjin felt that he had talent to a degree that even he himself was surprised by.

He had good physical abilities and was smart too.

He had a variety of skills, even though he had no memory of learning them.

When it comes to music, he had talent in the arts and physical education, including music, art, and sculpture, as well as quite specialized knowledge and sense in math and science.

His martial arts skills were also quite good, as if he had been trained professionally.

Even though I lived like that, hiding myself, it was naturally revealed, like an awl poking out of a pocket.

It felt as if someone had prepared it.

My suspicions became certain when I got hold of an unidentified app called CashUp.

“It’s really strange. It’s like something has been forcibly erased. It’s not like it’s a coincidence that this has come to me. Am I supposed to be looking for something? For what? For what?”

Hyunjin was able to immediately recognize the endless possibilities of Cash Up.

It was some kind of surreal force.

I couldn’t even understand where that power came from.

But what was clear was that the opportunity had come to him and that Hyunjin had to use it.

I learned that I could exchange points for money, but there were so many things in the world that couldn’t be done with money alone.

He was not a fundamentalist capitalist.

However, it was Hyun-jin who expressed antipathy towards the communist society of the past, rather than capitalism.

To be exact, it was not a communist society, but rather one on the verge of becoming a dictatorship.

Although South Korea was not a world power, it grew into a regional power.

South Korea, which had been stagnant and wavering between the wars between China and Japan, achieved tremendous growth by selling massive amounts of food and war supplies.

The North Korean region, which was thought to be unable to be properly developed even after hundreds of years, has truly developed remarkably.

Just ten years.

They say even mountains and rivers change in ten years, but this has changed excessively.

The problem was that the development was too successful.

South Korea, which was a democratic country, still claimed to be democratic, but became a dictatorship.

It was a world ruled by a small number of powerful people, and the majority of citizens had to use citizen points to increase their class.

But moving up the class ladder meant contributing to a dictatorial society.

Although South Korea was gradually becoming a dictatorship, the people defended and supported this dictatorial power.

South and North Korea were unified, the Qing Dynasty was made semi-vassal, and both China and Japan, which were considered thousand-year-old enemies, were bowing down to the South Korean government while keeping an eye on it.

South Korea, which has formed an alliance with the Qing dynasty and is extending its influence to Southeast Asia, seems to want to become a hegemonic power, just like Britain and the United States did in the past.

However, there were those who resisted the dictatorial government of South Korea.

And Hyun-jin was one of those resistance forces.

Hyunjin was working while thoroughly hiding his identity and position.

Hyunjin looked up at the huge tower while walking through the lively city center.

It was a tower that could separate and extract various components in the atmosphere.

Performance continued to improve.

Now, rather than mining resources from the ground, most resources could be extracted from the atmosphere.

These were elements that humans had been spewing into the atmosphere for hundreds of years.

In addition, since ingredients were extracted from the sea, there was no need to dig up the land anymore.

Of course, countries and groups that did not have this technology still had to dig into their land to extract resources.

“Footstep group.”

Hyunjin glared at the name of the footstep group written on the giant electronic board in the center of the extraction tower.

He was the main culprit who helped South Korea, which was gradually losing its vitality and on the verge of collapse due to economic stagnation, aging population, and low birth rate, grow into a powerful nation.

As the largest food production company in regions divided into the United States, Europe, and Asia, it dominated food supply around the world.

The land was devastated by war, various disasters, and catastrophes, and food production was drastically reduced, and Asia was on the verge of starvation if it could not import food from the Balhae Group.

Small farmers in surrounding countries have given up farming because they cannot compete with the massive amounts of food being pushed out by the Balbal Group.

If the people of South Korea follow the government, they can live a much more affluent life than the people of neighboring countries.

But Hyunjin knew all too well that this was an attempt to continue the dictatorship.

The leader of that footsteps group appeared on a large outdoor screen.

“Chairman Choi Yoo-han.”

It was a woman.

She is known as the unparalleled genius of the Republic of Korea and has won actual Nobel Prizes, such as the Nobel Prize in Physics and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, rather than the Nobel Peace Prize, and has led the large corporation, Balbal Group, to its current state.

Of course, it wasn’t just her power.

She was joined by powerful figures and big capitalists who were loyal to her.

And she was trying to make her son the king of South Korea.

Although still a minor, she had one son.

There were many speculations about who his father was, but in any case, he was the only son of Chairman Choi Yoo-han, and thus the sole successor to the Balbal Group.

“What a prince these days.”

Hyunjin’s goal was to stop the son of the top chairman, Choi Yu-han, who was treated like a prince, named Hyunwoo.

I couldn’t guarantee that a questionable application called CashUp would be able to take down a solid footfall group, but I couldn’t just sit back and do nothing.

Hyunjin was trying to collect points like that and then destroy the seemingly helpless Footsteps group.

And as he leveled up, Hyunjin gradually realized that he had potential.

CashUp turned out to be much more powerful and promising than expected.

However, the power of the footstep group was much stronger than expected, and its influence and information power were also formidable.

They were also quite adept at destroying those who were hostile to them.

Since they had the government’s public power behind them, they had various methods to easily disintegrate even a single anti-government force.

Of course, Hyunjin was hiding herself thoroughly and avoiding intelligence from the Footsteps Group.

Hyun-jin gained strength and started to move in earnest, but at some point, Hyun-jin could feel that there was someone who was helping her without her knowing it.

At first, I thought that it was anti-government forces that were providing support, but I gradually realized that was not the case.

“Who on earth are you? You must be someone who can see the movements of the Footsteps Group and the government at a glance.”

Every time his identity was about to be revealed, he received warnings and help from an unknown entity.

Even with his help, it was difficult to break down the very solid footsteps group in South Korea.

Hyunjin finally found out how to get to the travel destination.

Although a lot of my hard-earned points were spent, I found out that I could gain a lot of experience points by completing certain conditions at the travel destination.

Green rated destinations are incredibly peaceful.

“It’s boring. I don’t really feel the need to come here unless it’s for leveling up. Hmm! Maybe Yellow or Red levels would be a little better?”

Unlike Jincheol, Hyeonjin had a rather extroverted personality.

Rather than relaxing at home, I tended to recharge my energy by going out.

As a result, green-level travel destinations became extremely boring.

However, Hyunjin, who realized that he could create a new world, believed that he could use this power to bring down the Footsteps Group and create a free world.

Furthermore, Hyun-jin, who thought that this was a place where he could hide his colleagues who were being pursued by the South Korean government and the Balbal Group, began bringing his colleagues here.

“What on earth is this place?”

“Hmm! Well, I guess you could say it’s like The Lost World.”

“The Lost World? Can we return to Earth?”

“Yes, but it does cost points.”

I was worried that I might not be able to return to Earth, but fortunately, it was possible to travel back and forth between Earth and green-level destinations.

Of course, it required quite a lot of points, but if you worked hard, earning the points itself wasn’t that difficult.

“If you don’t have enough points, you can just climb a mountain.”

Hyunjin was climbing with the determination to conquer every mountain in Korea.

Marathons were great, but climbing and conquering high mountains gave me a lot of points and experience.

Of course, I was climbing to collect points, not because I really enjoyed climbing.

“Hiking boots? They can give you more points and increase your stamina? And they also protect your ankles? These are some kind of magical shoes. They also come with a bag and hiking sticks.”

Surprisingly, I was able to purchase mountaineering equipment with points.

This mountaineering gear, imbued with magical powers, proved to be the perfect tool for mountaineering.

Hyunjin quickly gained experience by climbing famous mountains in South Korea and gradually gained popularity as he conquered numerous mountains.

Climber.

Although it was not his intention, the climber gave Hyunjin a little strength.

The Footsteps group sponsored this climber, or rather, the explorer.

Humanity has lost much land.

The area near the equator was experiencing high temperatures that made it difficult for humans to survive due to the effects of global tropicalization.

This land could only be explored during the winter, as it was so hot in the summer that it was difficult to even breathe.

It was not known why such lands were being explored, but it seemed clear that there was something the Footsteps Group was very interested in.

But this expedition was never easy, so it required skilled explorers, and Hyunjin was one of those skilled explorers.

In this way, Hyun-jin was finally able to meet Choi Yu-han, the top chairman of the Footsteps Group.

Of course, it was just a passing encounter.

Hyunjin was just one of many explorers, and Chairman Choi Yuhan only showed up briefly to encourage them.

Hyun-jin thought that simply assassinating the top member, Choi Yoo-han, would be enough to complete his mission, but seeing Choi Yoo-han from afar made Hyun-jin shed tears for some reason.

“What? Why on earth?”

He couldn’t understand why he was shedding tears as he looked at the hateful woman.

And Hyunjin also made eye contact with a middle-aged man who seemed to be having trouble with one of his arms next to her.

‘Lee Jae-woo, General Manager of the Footsteps Group.’

He was one of the most powerful figures in the Footsteps Group, along with Chairman Choi Yoo-han.

He was believed to rule over the world’s oceans, and was the one who controlled all kinds of seafood in the boiling ocean.

Even if you have money, it is said that it is difficult to taste this seafood, and only a few powerful people are able to savor it.

It is said that they are currently making huge profits by selling fish and seaweed caught near the North and South Poles all over the world.

He was a man who monopolized the seafood of the sea.

The Footsteps Group has an evil ambition to rule the world using food and resources.

Group CEO Lee Jae-woo, whose eyes met Hyun-jin’s, smiled in an incomprehensible manner and turned his head away.

Hyunjin couldn’t figure out what that smile was, but he didn’t think much of it.

And there you will be asked to find certain plants or minerals.
