◈ 222. Hyunjin (4)

Hyunjin followed the instructions of the footstep group and waited for an opportunity.

I was convinced that one day we would be able to create a world where all people were free and equal.

By completing missions like that, I was quickly increasing my Cash Up points and level experience.

Hyunjin, who was about to leave the headquarters building of the magnificent footsteps group, turned his head when he heard a voice calling him.

“Hyunjin hyung!”

“Hyunwoo?”

It was Kim Hyun-woo, who was called the crown prince of the footsteps group.

As the son of CEO Choi Yu-han, he joined the Balgeum Group after becoming an adult recently.

Although I started out as a regular entry-level employee, it was clear that I would be promoted quickly within a few years.

He was quite handsome and had a good personality, so it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he was a popular kid.

Hyunwoo was a new employee, and although Hyunjin was in a different department and affiliation, he was a team leader, so it was natural for Hyunwoo to be respectful, but it wasn’t natural either.

Since Hyunjin was older than Hyunwoo, Hyunwoo always called him hyung and treated him in a friendly manner.

“Please call me team leader. Mr. Kim Hyun-woo.”

“Ah! Sorry! Sorry! Are you back after finishing work Hyunjin? You came back early this time.”

I kept warning him every time I saw him, but he was stubborn.

He knew that it was natural since no one would object if he did whatever he wanted, but Hyunjin didn’t feel like it.

There were no personal feelings.

It was just that our thoughts and ideologies were different.

If it weren’t for Hyunwoo’s true identity, I don’t know if we could have really been close like brothers.

But they were enemies.

Although he couldn’t express his hostility on the outside, Hyunwoo still approached him every time, showing that he was annoyed.

“Uncle Jae-woo praised you so much. He said that you were a great help in developing a treatment for a special genetic disease.”

“It wasn’t my help, it was the researchers who did the work.”

“Hey! If you hadn’t brought the cure ingredients, we would have failed. Strangely, other explorers can’t find it, but you always somehow manage to find it. It’s amazing.”

“…….”

All we did was get the raw materials from the remote area and hand them over to the research lab.

Of course, Hyunjin’s abilities were used to achieve success.

“Brother! I want to go exploring too. Can you take me with you?”

“It’s too dangerous, it’s not a place for you to go, Young Master.”

“Ah! I’m not your master! Don’t do that. Take me with you next time. I’ll get the permission.”

“No.”

Although Hyunwoo was handsome and smart, there were concerns that he was not very healthy.

Exploring the remote areas where temperatures exceed 60 degrees Celsius and where it is extremely dangerous is a challenge even for experts.

Of course, there was no way that Hyunwoo, who wasn’t very strong, could endure it.

From Hyunjin’s perspective, it might have been the best option for Hyunwoo to have an accident in the wilderness and die.

This may be the best way to crush the ambitions of the footstep group.

But Hyunjin had no intention of taking Hyunwoo on an exploration trip, and it was something that was impossible anyway.

If he took Hyunwoo, who was no different from a piece of luggage, he might not care, but his team members might suffer greatly.

‘And it doesn’t seem like the problem will be completely solved by killing Hyunwoo.’

It was Hyunwoo who followed him around like a log.

Hyunjin only found Hyunwoo, who was like a real younger brother, annoying.

However, what caught Hyun Jin’s attention was something strange.

In fact, the reason Hyunwoo followed Hyunjin so deeply was because Hyunjin saved him when he was in danger.

Although he himself did not understand why he did so, he was able to gain the trust of the executives of the Footsteps Group thanks to it.

“Then good work, hyung!”

“…….”

Hyunjin, who escaped from Hyunwoo and left the headquarters building, got into the car that her teammate was waiting for.

“How on earth did you become close with your master?”

“Let’s get close! What do you mean, close? Let’s go without saying any useless things.”

“Yes, I understand, team leader.”

At Hyunjin’s sharp voice, his teammates kept their mouths shut and started the vehicle.

The streets were quite crowded with people.

From the beginning, South Korea was a country with a very high population density.

Although the population density improved somewhat as the land area expanded after unification, it was still a country boasting the highest population density in the world.

But in the past, most of the population was concentrated in the metropolitan area.

And the provinces were not very populated due to the aging population and low birth rates.

But the place where Hyunjin was was not Seoul, but Jeonju.

Jeonju was a city with a decent population, but it was nothing more than a mid-sized city in a local area that did not even reach the level of a metropolitan city.

But now the population has exceeded 1 million.

There were also unofficial statistics that said the number could exceed 2 million.

Not only Jeonju, but most provincial cities had a much larger population than in the past.

“When will this homeless problem ever be solved?”

“It won’t be easy. There are still many illegal immigrants crossing the West Sea and South Sea.”

“I don’t know if it’s okay if they keep coming back even after being kicked out.”

The number of illegal immigrants and refugees coming from China, Japan, and other countries, not pure Koreans, has exceeded millions.

Unofficially, it was said that the number had already exceeded tens of millions.

They were refugees desperately trying to survive, so no matter how hard they were tried to stop them, they kept coming.

If the Korean Peninsula had been connected to land, it might have been completely filled with people, but it is fortunate that there is a huge obstacle called the ocean.

Of course, there were those who were friendly toward these refugees and those who disliked them.

Ironically, the citizen points were also meant to differentiate between Koreans and these refugees.

“Those in power are really smart.”

“yes?”

“no.”

Although everyone knew that those in power were trying to divide and divide citizens and refugees in order to solidify their power, they had no choice but to ignore it.

The unpleasantness and hostility right before our eyes are closer than the power that is far away.

Of course, these refugees were providing labor in 3D industries for Koreans.

In the past, the minimum wage was the same for Koreans and foreigners, but now it is not the same at all.

The refugees were also aware of their situation and could not protest against the unfair treatment.

In any case, it is not their country.

So, the refugees tried to somehow make their children Korean.

The refugees’ hope was to make them more Korean than Koreans.

Although there were very strict conditions, it was not impossible.

If it were impossible, there would have been riots long ago.

Of course, the uprising was suppressed very brutally, but it is human nature to not resist and pursue even the smallest hope.

Hyunjin also didn’t necessarily think that refugees should be accepted indefinitely out of humanitarianism.

However, I thought that South Korea should stop causing conflict in neighboring countries such as Japan and China.

Hyunjin also knew through history education that South Korea had suffered greatly from neighboring countries.

Naturally, I had to receive a sincere apology and reflection on this.

The problem was that even more destructive plans were afoot.

Although the government’s intentions were not directly revealed, they could have been anticipated through various measures.

But even though neighboring countries knew about the plan, they could not stop it.

South Korea is using food as a weapon to cause conflicts in neighboring countries.

The surrounding countries were already experiencing a civil war that wasn’t a civil war, and were becoming hell on earth.

The plan was extremely persistent and destructive, and had deep-rooted anger over a long period of time, and many citizens secretly supported it.

‘It’s the same thing. It’s just sowing the seeds of another conflict.’

Hyunjin looked at the homeless refugees and thought that they would eventually become the seeds of conflict.

South Korea is drinking poison to weaken its neighbors.

The secret organizations that Hyun-jin belongs to were worried about this future, and when this future was revealed, they tried to stop the Balbal Group.

What was once considered a company that would save the world was now becoming a group that could potentially destroy the world.

The level was gradually increasing.

Additionally, through the massive points, Hyunjin discovered that he could do more than he thought.

“It can lower the temperature.”

During the mission, Hyunjin also learned that he could lower the temperature of his surroundings with points.

Warming.

Now, due to the Earth’s tropicalization beyond global warming, the area of ​​activity of humans that used to inhabit the entire Earth has been reduced to that before the Middle Ages.

Even if survival is possible, large-scale, densely populated populations of millions or more have become difficult.

The growing influence of the footstep group was one of the reasons for this global warming.

Agricultural productivity was declining all over the world due to disasters and catastrophes that were constantly changing.

Meanwhile, the Korean Peninsula continues to maintain strong agricultural production.

Originally, it was a land that could never have high agricultural productivity.

Even with the most advanced technology, it was impossible.

“There is definitely something. Something we cannot know.”

That’s why Hyunjin began to suspect that the warming of this planet might have been intentional.

And the suspicion was directed at the footstep group.

“Cashup 2.0 maybe….”

Hyunjin suspected that Cash Up 1.0 existed in version 2.0 and that the Footstep Group had it.

But there was no way to confirm it.

There was just so little information.

He left Hyunwoo behind, but Hyunwoo seemed completely unaware of him.

Of course, I didn’t know that he was hiding it.

So I had no idea about the origin of Cash Up.

Even Jumong, an artificial intelligence AI with fairly good performance, couldn’t even analyze Cash Up.

-There might be a record in the Taebaek History Archives.-

“Taebaek Record Office?”

Artificial intelligence AI advised that there may be secrets recorded in the Taebaek Archives.

Hyunjin thought it made sense and requested a visit to the Taebaek Archives.

Although Hyunjin had climbed Taebaeksan Mountain several times, the Taebaek Archives was a place so strictly guarded that it was difficult for anyone without permission to even approach.

Rumor has it that this is a place to leave behind humanity’s legacy even if the world is destroyed.

It was also said that all the information in the world was stored there, including the bluff.

Of course, in reality it wasn’t to that extent, but extreme secrecy tends to create suspicion along with mystery.

If permission was not granted, I tried to approach secretly, but permission was granted more easily than I thought.

“Welcome, Team Leader Lee. My name is Lathor.”

“Thank you for your permission, sir.”

“Thank you! Thanks to you, I was able to secure valuable records to store in the archives, so I am grateful to you.”

Although it was quite unusual, Hyun-jin was able to gain free access to all information under the guidance of Director Rathore, the head of the Taebaek Archives.

Of course, Hyunjin soon had to be embarrassed by the records that were completely different from what she had expected.

“Was it written on steel plates like the Tripitaka Koreana?”

Hyunjin felt like his shoulders might fall off as he looked at the extremely heavy records densely engraved with letters using a laser engraving machine.

Although it was a thin steel plate, each sheet weighed about as much as a book.

“Who the hell ordered this ignorant thing to happen?”

Hyunjin had no idea that his father had done it.

Of course, Jincheol also tried to record only the minimum flow of humanity.

The intention was to leave a trace of humanity’s existence on Earth.

As it happened, various records were added and its scale gradually grew.

And the Footsteps Group was struggling to maintain this archive and was even wondering why they were running this archive.

Hyunjin tried to find out about cash-up at the Taebaek Records Office, but he thought it would be impossible.

“I thought it was saved as data. So that Jumong could search it.”

Hyunjin didn’t really like reading books since she was little.
