Only I Have Two Towers Episode 050

Corporate Visit

After washing up, Jinhyeok lay down on the bed.

Kancheo burrowed in beside him and peeked his head out.

“How is it? Think it’ll work out well?”

“We’ll have to wait and see. The enhancement itself went well. It has the functions I wanted too.”

He took out the Yodel Compass from his chest.

[Yodel Compass – Precision Tracking]

# Points to any destination you wish to go to from anywhere.

# Enhancement Option 1: Shows the straight-line distance to the destination.

# Enhancement Option 2: Can set and track locations with objects made of the same material as what the user possesses.

Fortunately, Grandpa Toto had completed the enhancement properly without dozing off.

It seemed that mischievous Kancheo’s threat to blow up the Old Tree house had worked well.

He took out the disc embedded with the white stone and brought it to the compass.

The existing needle pointed in a direction, and with clicking sounds, the newly added number dial began to move.

# 8,000.

When he first tried it, his eyes nearly popped out.

8,000 kilometers – he couldn’t grasp how far he’d have to go.

But after a simple test, this was in meters.

In other words, the stone he needed to find was closer than he thought.

‘They should have arrived by now.’

He checked the clock in his room.

Having confirmed it was 8 kilometers, he couldn’t just fall asleep like this.

So he secretly opened the balcony door and dispatched a reconnaissance team.

Along with his phone that had the destination marked.

Rustle.

Not long after, Seira, who had gone out on reconnaissance, appeared beside the bed.

She had left the house, confirmed the destination, and materialized again.

“Good work.”

Jinhyeok got up and approached Seira.

“There was a huge ship docked there.”

Seira nodded and handed him the phone.

It contained several photos and videos.

‘She’s gotten good at this even though I only showed her once.’

Seira was quick to adapt to this world’s technology.

He’d probably need to get her a phone soon.

They huddled together to check the photos and videos.

“This ship was the only place that could have such an object. Unless it’s buried in the riverbed.”

“That’s definitely true.”

It was a very large and gleaming ship that looked recently built.

‘Newcalliope.’

A strangely familiar name.

When he searched online, related articles appeared.

# A route from Yeouido Han River to Japan opens!

It was an article that had been frequently appearing in the news lately.

The first ship service connecting Korea’s capital to Japan’s capital, the Newcalliope.

The maiden voyage was just 4 days away.

He went to the official website to examine the ship.

Buffets full of traditional Korean and Japanese food, ultra-luxury accommodations and entertainment facilities, and more.

This was practically a 5-star hotel on the sea.

And the last line.

# The Newcalliope will host a Korea-Japan joint auction as a maiden voyage event.

## A meaningful occasion for Korea and Japan to exchange items acquired from the Tower of Despair. You are invited to this place!

Finally, a place where Sirius might be had appeared.

He clicked the list button.

It was a site that had published the items being auctioned, probably for publicity.

The main items of this auction were a Tower-exclusive axe and shield dropped on the 70th floor.

The starting bid was a whopping 5 billion won.

With competition, it would easily exceed 10 billion won.

‘That’s the world they live in.’

He immediately passed and scrolled down.

And at some point, Jinhyeok stopped his hand.

# Star Necklace.

It was the same gemstone as the one embedded in the disc.

It was positioned lower down where people showed relatively little interest.

Since it was a simple accessory with no special abilities, the starting bid was 50 million won.

Even this was burdensome, but it was a price he could compete with.

Jinhyeok looked around at his friends with a determined expression.

“We’re going to board a ship in 4 days.”

“We’re riding this?!”

“It’s been a while since I’ve been on a ship.”

Kancheo and Seira were excited with anticipation.

However.

“Ugh.”

Dark grimaced with disgust.

“What’s wrong? Are you afraid of water?”

“Water is fine. I just get severe seasickness. The last time I rode one, I encountered a storm and nearly died.”

“But Dark doesn’t die, right?”

“It was the first time I faced the crisis of death.”

“When was this ‘most recent’ time?”

“400 years ago? I’m not sure.”

Jinhyeok swallowed dryly.

Just how old was Dark?

He went back to the main page and clicked the reservation button.

It would be expensive given the good facilities, but this was 5 people riding for the price of 1.

Whatever the cost, the cost-effectiveness itself was excellent.

“Huh?”

He frowned at the popup window that appeared.

# An invitation is required to reserve this voyage.

An invitation.

Money wasn’t the issue from the start.

‘I should have known about this kind of thing.’

He squeezed his eyes shut.

Jinhyeok had lived a life completely opposite to that of an influencer.

Even after becoming an adult, he’d only played games day and night in his basement, so there was no way he’d know about such things.

“Boss, don’t you have an invitation?”

“No. I was just commoner A living in an Old Town officetel until yesterday.”

“It’s okay. We can sneak in.”

This was an unexpected obstacle.

Just as he wondered if he’d really have to sneak in as Kancheo suggested, he noticed several sponsors listed at the bottom of the site.

# Genex.

“Hmm.”

Jinhyeok, who had been rubbing his chin, opened his bag.

Jin Tae-gon’s business card, which he had carefully stored away since it was the first one he’d ever received.

He wouldn’t give him a free ride.

He would surely demand something in return, but from what he’d seen last time, Jin Tae-gon was a rational person.

It didn’t seem like he would demand something unreasonable just for one boat ride.

‘If I try to sneak in, it’ll be hard to even participate in the auction.’

He took a deep breath.

He should contact him with an apologetic heart.

The chairman of Genex, South Korea’s largest steel company.

Late morning.

Cheon Se-yeon stretched and sat up.

“Ah.”

Se-yeon, who was about to leave her room as usual, took her hand off the doorknob.

She quickly went to the mirror, removed her eye boogers, and tidied her disheveled hair.

After finishing her grooming in a way that seemed like she cared but tried to look like she didn’t, she went out to the living room.

The house was quiet, as if Jinhyeok hadn’t woken up yet.

“Wow.”

Se-yeon, who had walked to the kitchen, exclaimed in admiration.

The table was set with rolled omelets and kimchi stew that looked freshly made.

It was a bit annoying that he made new kimchi stew when her own was in the refrigerator, but anyway.

‘He’s really diligent.’

She picked up a piece of rolled omelet and put it in her mouth.

‘It’s delicious.’

She smiled and walked back and forth in the living room for no reason.

Wouldn’t it be better to wait and eat together?

While doing so, she noticed a post-it note stuck at the end of the living room.

# I have urgent business so I’m going out. I don’t know how to call the elevator from the entrance, so I’m going out through the balcony.

“What?”

Even though she saw it with her own eyes, she couldn’t understand what it meant.

Se-yeon, who had been stunned for a moment, carefully opened the balcony door.

There were footprints in the dusty area.

‘He really went out this way.’

Se-yeon swallowed dry saliva and stared at the footprints for a long time.

She barely calmed down, closed the door, and made a resolution.

When Jinhyeok returns today, she’ll register his fingerprint and face first.

So he can call the elevator.

In front of Genex headquarters, the steel company.

‘Why is it so big?’

It wasn’t called South Korea’s largest for nothing.

An incredibly huge building.

It was so big that it wouldn’t be surprising if a combining robot was hidden inside.

Jinhyeok, standing in front of the revolving door, took a deep breath.

As always, these fancy places weren’t easy for him.

He followed the people wearing employee badges through the revolving door.

The lobby was as magnificent as the exterior.

Jinhyeok stood in the center and looked around.

Then he went to the most secluded sofa and sat down.

Genex infiltration complete.

‘I didn’t expect him to tell me to come right away.’

He had called very politely as soon as it turned 9 o’clock.

Jin Tae-gon had answered with a more cheerful voice than expected.

When he explained the purpose of his call, Jin Tae-gon laughed heartily and replied.

-Come by 11 o’clock. Let’s meet in the lobby.

That’s how the appointment with the chairman was set.

Honestly, it was a bit unexpected.

In Jinhyeok’s common sense, a chairman was someone whose schedule was packed all day long.

Current time: 10:50.

The thought of meeting the owner of such a large company made him nervous for no reason.

While he was looking at his watch for a while.

An employee from the front desk approached.

“Hello. How may I help you?”

An Mi-yeong, who had greeted him, stared at Jinhyeok.

Jinhyeok was sitting alone in the empty lobby.

His face was too young to be a company employee.

Sometimes students who got the tour schedule wrong would come, so she came over to guide him.

“Hello. I’m here to see the chairman today.”

“What? The chairman?”

An Mi-yeong’s eyes widened as she asked back.

The chairman, out of the blue.

‘Is he an influencer?’

His neat face and appearance.

She thought he might be someone newly popular these days, but soon shook her head.

Chairman Jin Tae-gon was very picky about people.

He would flatly refuse even if South Korea’s top actor asked to meet him.

“Mi-yeong. What are you doing here, leaving the front desk?”

Yu Yeong-seo, a senior colleague who handled the front desk together, approached.

“He said he came to see the chairman.”

“The chairman?”

His face was clearly full of dissatisfaction.

Yu Yeong-seo, who had been looking back and forth between Jinhyeok and Mi-yeong, let out a deep sigh.

“Listen, student, I don’t know where you came from, but you can’t do this here. The chairman is a very busy person. He’s not someone who meets just anyone. And Mi-yeong, you should quickly send him away and guard the front desk. How long are you going to deal with this? You did the same thing with that peddler who came last time, and you’re not improving.”

“I’m, I’m sorry.”

“Don’t just say sorry all the time, try to improve. Improve. This is why we shouldn’t do blind interviews.”

Jinhyeok looked at Mi-yeong getting scolded.

‘I feel bad for no reason.’

What a harsh person, by the way.

Yu Yeong-seo continued to peck at her as if he had been waiting for this, not satisfied with what he had just said.

Yu Yeong-seo, who had paused briefly, glared at Jinhyeok who showed no particular reaction.

“What are you doing? Why aren’t you getting up? There’s no appointment to meet anyone on the chairman’s schedule either. If you keep this up, I’ll call security.”

Only then did Jinhyeok stand up.

‘He should have gotten up quickly instead of being stubborn.’

He raised the corners of his mouth with a strange sense of victory, but that smile didn’t last long.

Jinhyeok bowed politely behind Yu Yeong-seo.

“Did you wait long? The call went a bit longer, so I’m late.”

“No. It’s not 11 o’clock yet.”

Yu Yeong-seo turned around.

Chairman Jin Tae-gon appeared with a long line of staff members.

Jin Tae-gon spoke up about the strange atmosphere flowing between Yu Yeong-seo, An Mi-yeong, and Jinhyeok.

“Is there some problem?”

“N-no. There’s no problem at all.”

Yu Yeong-seo answered while backing away in shock.

Jinhyeok also nodded and said.

“There was no problem at all. Ms. An Mi-yeong was being incredibly kind in her service, but then this person suddenly came over and told us to leave immediately before he called security to throw us out.”

“Huh?”

Jin Tae-gon’s brow furrowed.

The entire staff grew serious along with him.

Yu Yeong-seo’s face turned deathly pale.

“You there, employee An Mi-yeong.”

“Y-yes!”

“You did very well. Each small action like that determines a company’s image. Conversely, one insignificant action can also damage a company’s image. Head of Human Resources.”

“Yes, I’ll reflect this in the personnel evaluation immediately.”

“Good.”

Jin Tae-gon glanced at Yu Yeong-seo once with cold eyes before turning around.

“Well then, let’s go up. Let’s have lunch together and talk.”

Jinhyeok smiled and exchanged eye contact with An Mi-yeong.

Then he began walking following Jin Tae-gon.

The Newcalliope boarding pass had come within reach.
