Episode 114
Chapter 114. ㅡㅁㅡ
A secret experiment between a genius enhancer and a magical engineer.
As a result, the ‘surface dungeon’ that was treated worse than ruins.
A large plot of land near the Imjin River, at the demonization boundary, had been purified!
Naturally, nationwide attention was pouring in.
All media, both domestic and international, flocked to the scene.
A large-scale press conference was immediately arranged.
However.
Slurp~.
…The person responsible for this tremendous achievement, Kang Hoon, was busy slurping ramen.
“Kha! It’s spicy!”
Sitting on the living room floor, using the sofa as a backrest – a true Korean.
Regardless of what the world was saying, he was busy rinsing his mouth with aged kimchi.
The reason Kang Hoon could conserve his limited social energy(?) and comfortably watch television at home was─
– Ms. Seo Mi-do! We heard you own Frontline Defense Terrain 012! Are all the rumors about the experiments conducted there true?!
Thanks to Seo Mi-do volunteering to handle all media exposure herself.
“Thank goodness, mm-hmm.”
The press conference hall beyond the screen was pitch black with swarming reporters.
Because of that, Seo Mi-do sitting on the stage looked even smaller.
If you saw it without knowing the context, you might say ‘Is this child abuse?’
But Seo Mi-do herself had a calm expression even in front of the dozens of microphones placed before her.
“As expected, a CEO is different.”
Slurp!
Kang Hoon was admiring while pushing carbohydrates into his hungry stomach.
That’s when it happened.
– Yes, that’s correct. Through experiments with the genius enhancer…
“──Pffffff!!”
Ramen broth immediately sprayed out of his mouth.
“Cough, cough, cough! No, wait…!”
Who would have thought they’d openly say ‘genius enhancer’ on the news.
Regardless of what the ‘genius enhancer’ was doing beyond the television.
Seo Mi-do continued her clear explanation.
– Ah. That is, through experiments with Hunter Park Kang-hoon, we confirmed that we can summon ‘Stone Golems’ for protective purposes in certain terrains.
Such was Seo Mi-do, who was one step ahead of the media.
On the surface, she seemed to be revealing all experimental results transparently, but in reality, she was only acknowledging facts that would be discovered anyway if hidden.
– We also dramatically discovered that dead land can be purified.
The amazing briefing that followed was also a way of spoiling content that would naturally be discovered anyway.
– By next spring, grass and flowers will bloom in that area, ‘Frontline Defense Terrain 012′.
– But that land is already known as dead land without nutrients?!
– Not anymore. We expect that farming will be fully possible there in a few months.
– My goodness…!
Murmur murmur!
Just that alone made the press conference hall noisy.
The sound of hundreds of journalists typing on keyboards could be heard even by Kang Hoon beyond the television.
“Mm, as expected of Ms. Seo Mi-do. She’s not showing all her cards.”
Of course, she kept the promise to keep the details as their secret.
She didn’t even reveal exactly what kind of experiment it was.
As expected, being a big tech CEO + professor isn’t something just anyone can do.
While others were amazed by this much, the news released today was only a fraction.
“…Especially the fact that the area can affect hunters’ combat power should remain secret for a while.”
With that, Kang Hoon patted his full belly and slumped against Lucky’s back.
“Since only a few things were revealed, it’ll just be noisy for a few days, right?”
– Whoof.
But Kang Hoon didn’t know.
About the Hunter Community that was simultaneously turned upside down.
[Who first mentioned the Park Kang-hoon Theory of Everything?]
└ I’m sorry for daring to mock what was a tremendous prophecy without recognizing it at the time. Could you please read my fortune?
└ Holy shit lmaooooooooo
└ hahahahahahahaha
└ What nonsense? What about some crafting nobody;
└ Tsk tsk, did you just get internet today?
The keyword ‘Park Kang-hoon’ was already guaranteed to be #1 trending and top views in the community.
On top of that.
[Earlier, didn’t the Squid Witch…accidentally say ‘genius enhancer’?]
└ Crazy, ‘that’ Seo Mi-do calls Park Kang-hoon that????
‘Squid Witch’.
The synergy of news combining even Seo Mi-do was tremendous.
And netizens went even more wild.
[But didn’t the Squid Witch look particularly cute today? Usually she looked like an angry squirrel, but today she was kind of charming]
└ For real, honestly she only smiled when talking about Park Kang-hoon???? Did the geniuses become like siblings?????
└ What siblings; you’re really overdoing it
└ What are they, long-lost siblings or something? lol
└Kang-hoon hyung’s lost sibling is me!!!!!!!! 40 years ago at the subway station, Kang-hoon hyung let go of my hand and we separated, but I still remember the voice of Kang-hoon hyung calling my name from outside the train window!!!!!!!!
└ This crazy person is here again
└ No wayㅋㅋㅋcrazy
└At this point, I’m getting curious about what happens next lolololololololololol
└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Originally, whenever famous hunters even cleared dungeons together, there was an overflow of ‘relationship fans’.
If that happened just from dungeon missions.
In the dangerous wilderness where no one was present, the fact that they conducted ‘secret experiments’ whose contents no one knew.
The users’ curiosity was about to explode.
[Ugh why are there no paparazzi photos of Park Kang-hoon, not even the usual ones?ㅠㅠ Did his agency block them again?ㅠㅠ]
└ Originally the Squid Witch never had paparazzi bait
└ As thorough as Cheongjeong..
└ A meeting of shield and shield
The meeting of Park Kang-hoon, free within Cheongjeong’s protection system, and Seo Mi-do, for whom stealth magic is basic knowledge.
This level of lamenting posts was normal.
[Kang-hoon hyung,, I didn’t want you to become this happy..]
└ You’re pathetic
The cheerful atmosphere of posting moderate humor was brief.
They began crossing the line, making up sweet stories like ‘Seo Mi-do came to Korea because she loves Park Kang-hoon’, ‘they call each other oppa and dongsaeng in private’, etc.
As a result.
[This post does not exist.]
[This post does not exist.]
[This post does not exist.]
…accounts were deleted for violating the ‘prohibition of spreading false information’ notice.
Since even the traces of those who were kicked out became a laughingstock.
[The post that got deleted earlier was reported by Seri-chan fans according to school lunch lol]
…the user who left this mocking post was also deleted for violating the ‘prohibition of speculative criticism toward other users’ notice!
[It’s cold,, an account suspension flies and pierces my heart,.,,]
└ Suspension is faster than post deletion,,
[The fact is that the Enhancement Specialist, Seri-chan, and the Squid Witch have no thoughts about each other beyond business relationships.]
└ Agreed
└ They’re always making a fuss trying to pair people up like this
[You crazy people;; Right now Stone Golems are inhabiting Korea, but romance is important?!]
└ Ah if it’s about that, there’s a separate board
└ Huh?????
└ There were too many Stone Golem stories so they made a Stone Golem board. It broke through 2000 posts in 1 hour.
└ No way, that much??????
That much.
Not only was a new board opened within the Hunter community, the ‘Stone Golem (Temporary)’ board.
In every community, the 10 golems created at the border line between South Korea’s edge and North Korea were a huge topic of interest.
‘Not satisfied with commanding a Unique-grade Spirit Dog, now golems too? And… he didn’t tame and command them, but created them himself?!’
Summoning and Taming-type Hunters couldn’t even dare to be jealous.
Jealousy only arises when you can somewhat keep up.
They could only suck their fingers in disappointment and pray that Park Kang-hoon would please sell items for summoners.
It was natural that domestic and international Hunters were in a state of intense focus.
Besides that, there were those who unexpectedly shed tears of emotion.
[Park Kang-hoon is a god.]
…namely, monster otakus.
Live broadcasts with drone cameras under the title ‘(Real-time Live) Stone Golem Coverage’ were basic.
The gentle Stone Golems showed no aggression no matter how close the cameras approached.
Their flat faces quickly spread as memes on the internet, with ‘reaction images’ being copied infinitely.
Netizens from various countries gave each of them individual nicknames.
They said that Hangul characters like ‘ㅡㅁㅡ’ look like the faces of stone golems!
The ‘ㅡㅁㅡ’ emoticon started trending on all kinds of overseas websites.
———-North Korea———
ㄴ(ㅡㅁㅡ)ㄱㄴ(ㅡㅁㅡ)ㄱㄴ(ㅡㅁㅡ)ㄱ
———-South Korea———
In an internet world where memes are everything, Park Kang-hoon was already known as ‘the father of ㅡㅁㅡ’!
Surprisingly.
For some reason, overseas media began calling him a ‘symbol of peace’ more than Korea, his home country.
When American news clearly pronounced the three characters ‘Park Kang-hoon’ and introduced him as a ‘symbol of peace’.
Korean netizens’ reaction was like this.
└ …Why are they making such a fuss?
That’s understandable.
Being strangely calm even in crisis situations is a Korean trait.
Actually, America’s reaction is normal, and Koreans are the strange ones.
They were already a ceasefire nation before the Gate incident anyway.
Having been stuck next to North Korea in its demonized state for 19 years now, their brains have become numb to not feeling any particular danger in the current situation!!
As a result.
The supposedly peaceful superpowers are making more of a fuss instead.
[Enhancement hero who suddenly appeared from a small dangerous frontier nation, “Park Kang-hoon” – Who is he? (Overseas Topic)]
[Solo Suppression of Great Disaster! Purifying the Nation’s Crisis! (Translation)]
…While the whole world was turned completely upside down.
“Why are they making such a fuss…?”
There was another person with a numb brain who couldn’t understand this trend, living in a Han River View apartment in Seoul.
Scratch.
The Enhancement Specialist who got tired of the noisy news faster than anyone.
“…Am I really that much?”
It was Park Kang-hoon himself, the person in question.
* * *
Unlike the homebody Kang Hoon, whose energy was drained by public attention.
Seo Mi-do, whose name had been going up and down in articles her whole life, was calm.
“This much is nothing compared to the hidden abilities of the Genius Enhancer.”
…While harshly criticizing the sensational news reaction that shook the world’s common sense.
And for good reason.
Beautiful, magnificent, and perfect artificial life forms.
Ten newly born golems were placed right in front of them.
Park Kang-hoon had fulfilled her lifelong wish.
Sizzle! Crackle!
Seo Mi-do was busy with new crafting, preparing for the next experiment.
“Hehehe! People don’t even know 0.1% of his potential yet!”
While evaluating Park Kang-hoon like that.
“…Maybe even I’ve only figured out 1% of it!”
I want to find out more about him!
Burning with such pure otaku(?) passion!
“So I need to work harder…! He’ll need these things soon! Right, Alba?”
At Seo Mi-do’s confident shout, Park Kang-hoon’s golem.
Alba responds.
【Classified Weapon equipped, complete.】
“Ehehe! Your master would be surprised if he saw this.”
