This Is Not a Game - This Is Not a Game chapter 172
cancel the contract
During the [Encroaching City] quest, there was a time when I controlled a zombie with the Puppet skill and used it as a moving bomb.
This situation was not much different.
Wrap a bomb around the body of a psychic and let the enemies rescue him, then use the puppet skill to press the detonator.
The difference is one thing.
It was a zombie then, and this time it was a human.
‘It was a half-gaming plan, so I was prepared to re-challenge several times, but luckily I succeeded in one go.’
Yoosung was born with a lack of some emotional and empathic abilities.
While becoming a user and performing various quests, there have been some changes, but the fundamentals have never changed.
Despite committing a heinous act that thoroughly trampled on human dignity, Yooseong did not feel any special emotions.
On the contrary, he was delighted with the fact that the plan had succeeded.
However, apart from the excited emotions, reason was maintaining a cool head.
By playing a thorough victim, he fools the soldiers and appeals for his injuries, requesting a transfer to the hospital.
And it was only after arriving in the city center that the clear message came to mind, Yooseong was able to finally let go of the tension.
[You have cleared the quest ‘It hurts, I hate it, stop it.’]
[Analyzing the clearing process. Please wait a moment.]
[275% fate change rate, 21% 2D skill usage rate, 59.5% 2D artifact usage rate.]
[Final evaluation SSS rank.]
[Amazing! Han Yoo-seong has accomplished a great feat of causing a great change in the world by escaping not only his clients but also countless people! We do not know whether the change will lead to positive or negative results, but we will pay for it with high praise.]
[Basic clear reward: 500,000 karma, unknown liquid x3, psychic blooming potion x1]
[Additional condition clear reward: 6,000,000 karma, unknown liquid x 10, superpower permanent enhancement potion x 3]
[SSS Rank Clear Additional Reward: 10,000,000 Karma]
[After a while, it starts returning to the original world.]
‘SSS rank?’
Yooseong, who has cleared dozens of quests, has the ability to predict roughly what level of clearing rank will come out by calculating the grade of the quest and the skills and items used.
The clear rank of this quest that Yuseong originally expected was between A and B ranks.
This is because he used too many items, such as enhanced plasma weapons, elixirs to increase stats, and bombs and items that could blow up the base.
But surprisingly, clear rank was recording SSS.
275%.
This is the highest rate of fate change after the quest [The Girl Who Wants Salvation].
‘It seems that escaping the test subjects had a tremendous impact on this world… … ..’
Yuseong closed his eyes while looking at the phrase that he did not know whether it would produce positive or negative results.
Anyway, it was a world that was swept away by the dimensional war and was scheduled to perish.
It didn’t matter whether the time of destruction was delayed or accelerated because of what he had done.
However, he was a little concerned about the client who would leave and remain alone.
-… … .
At that moment, a faint voice was heard.
It was not verbalized, but there was a clear feeling of gratitude in his voice.
What K-14 wanted was nothing grand.
Even for a moment, it was good to come out of that hellish facility and enjoy freedom, and that wish came true.
Yoosung said goodbye to K-14 with a faint smile.
[Activate the Deus Ex Machina program.]
[Ariadne’s thread tracking completed.]
[Spirit moves.]

“Looks like I’m going to live a bit now.”
Returning to Earth, Yoosung smiled in satisfaction at the enormous power that seeped through his entire body.
I was in a weak body that seemed like I would die if I moved even for a moment. When I returned to my superhuman body, I felt fullness as if I had the whole world.
Yuseong, who relaxed lightly, opened his inventory.
The only thing you can get from this quest is the quest reward.
The client did not have any skills or items, so there was no need to enter the Karma Shop.
<Psychic Blooming Potion>
– Grade: B
-Type: Potion
– A potion that can artificially bloom supernatural powers made using special materials. It takes effect immediately after taking it, and the psychic ability to bloom is unknown.
Yooseong, who knows what the special ingredients are written in the description, frowned.
It is not even an injection, but an oral administration method.
After hesitating for a while, Yoosung closed his eyes and drank the gray liquid.
Disgusting smell and fishy taste.
I felt a tingling sensation in my head as I emptied the contents of the bottle, holding back the feeling of vomiting.
“This… … .”
I felt a strange sensation that I had never felt before.
The feeling of having new organs such as wings and a tail.
It was like an organ that hadn’t originally been created suddenly, but I somehow knew what kind of ability that organ had and how to move it.
Ugh.
A colorless and transparent aura of invincibility appeared on the fingertips.
At first glance, it looks like it’s just pumping out the inner energy.
However, Yuseong was using both internal energy and superpowers at the same time.
“The ability to amplify energy.”
I was obviously using 10 points of inner energy, but the inner energy at the tip of my finger was about 12 points.
The amplification rate was constant at 1.2 times even when the amount of internal hole was reduced or increased.
“Inner air, mana, and spiritual power are all amplified without any problems… … . It doesn’t seem like it consumes much energy, but does it use mental energy to activate it?”
Yooseong, who checked his psychic abilities through various tests, made a confused expression.
As far as energy is concerned, it is still overflowing because it is not enough.
It possesses three types of energies: inner air, magical power, and spiritual power, and it is possible to unite and operate all of these energies through the non-geo-ilwon-gong.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with the increased output, but for Yoosung, who had in mind to compensate for his weaknesses rather than maximizing his strengths, he had no choice but to feel complicated.
“I don’t care if I’m weak, so I wish I had the ability to use it for multiple purposes like a thorny vine.”
Yuseong, who had been biting his tongue, took out a potion that permanently strengthened his psychic powers and took it, and the psychic powers that were strengthened three times finally had a double amplification rate.
“… … I think this is a bit dangerous.”
The total amount of her own energy, including internal energy, magic power, and spiritual power, is approximately 2,100 points.
Even so, it is possible to generate up to 2.25 times the power by using the non-geukilwongong, and it is concluded that if you use superpower here, you can operate nearly 10,000 points of energy.
Of course, that’s the case in theory, but the reality is different.
If you try to use 10,000 points of energy as if your body was damaged because it could not withstand the repulsive force from 3,000 points of muscle strength, your body would explode.
‘No, isn’t it necessarily like that?’
If you use the greatly increased Wisdom stat, the supernatural ability of Mugeuk Ilwongong, the ability to control the energy of the Demonic Eye of Truth, and the divine skill obtained as a reward from the quest [The Hero Who Couldn’t Become a Hero], you might be able to manage 10,000 points of energy.
Yuseong shook his head, imagining using his 10,000 points of skill to become a shooting star.
The power was certain, but I couldn’t risk my life on an uncertain possibility.
Unless it is in a situation where it is in danger of death, there will be no power generation.
“Isn’t this a flag raised?”
Yoosung burst out laughing and manipulated his goggles to enter the quest window.
When Aris’ body is completed, she will carry out a quest on a different level than before in earnest, so it was necessary to collect as many karma points as possible and strengthen her abilities in preparation for that time.
After a while, the meteor disappeared from Earth with a bright light.
* * *
Ever since monsters started invading the earth, Kang Chang-seok has been busy with no eyes open.
Preventing the invasion of monsters, controlling contractors, and maintaining order are the basics of the basics.
Should we care so that the global economy does not collapse, coordinate the positions of numerous countries, or carry out various mega-projects such as the rank system, the establishment of an academy, and the establishment of an international contractor association.
Kang Chang-seok’s schedule was planned in seconds, not minutes, and he knew that delaying work would cause more problems, so he didn’t break the schedule.
There are only two cases where Kang Chang-seok postpones or cancels schedules.
It was only when something related to the user occurred or when a serious danger that mankind could not withstand came up.
However, a third exception occurred not long ago.
“car? coffee?”
“Uh, I can’t eat what I wrote. Do you have any tea or juice?”
“There is no way. Now, tea here.”
“Hehe, thank you.”
A gray-haired girl drinking black tea with a puzzled expression.
Although she looked like a slender girl, Kang Chang-seok, remembering her true character, secretly swallowed a dry spit.
Enormous magical power that overwhelmed even Bruce, who was considered the strongest among users.
Kang Chang-seok, who knew that Aris was just a girl with special senses, couldn’t help but be in awe.
‘Didn’t you say that the soul of the Archwitch was put into a battle-type android powered by a dragon heart? I don’t understand what I’m talking about. What the hell is this?’
An extraordinary existence that even users who have seen various beings from all over the world cannot accept.
But at least that strength was real.
Strength is not determined only by magic power, but if Bruce had enough magic power to overwhelm him, it had to be regarded as having a triple-level power even at a minimum.
Although not a user, an existence with power comparable to that of a user.
Of course, I had to make an exception.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t have time, so I want to get to the point right away. What did you ask me to meet you for?”
“Uh, I want to cancel the contract.”
“… … Surely you’re not referring to the Lucifer surveillance contract, are you?”
“Yes.”
“… … .”
Kang Chang-seok put down the teacup he was holding and took out a solo drink from the subspace and shot it.
Despite openly showing that she was not in a good mood, Aris was smiling rather than being frightened.
Pure eyes that do not know how important their mission is or how heavy the contract is.
Kang Chang-seok, who took out the second solo drink and drank it, let out a small sigh and said,
“It’s been quite some time since no trace of Lucifer was found… … . do whatever you want.”
“thank you. As for the cancellation fee, Yooseong-nim said he would send it as soon as the proceeds from the Awakening Ability Potion came in.”
“How much do you do that? Tell him it’s done.”
I didn’t think they would listen to me even if I tried to dissuade or persuade them.
In that case, it would have been better to just end it coolly and lessen the hurtful feelings.
Kang Chang-seok paused for a while and spoke in a small voice.
“… … I don’t know what to say in return, but I want you to deliver one thing to Yoosung.”
