Chapter 277

Episode 277 [A-Class Awakened Person (3)]

A city covered in ice.

Vladivostok, which was called a floating port, was now frozen not only in the city but also in the port.

Even though it was getting close to winter, there was no reason for the city to freeze like this.

There is only one reason. It was because of the monsters in this city.

“I paid money to come, but is it okay?”

the captain asked anxiously, looking out the window at the frozen city in the distance.

He was a smuggler captain whom I met through a black market dealer.

Normally, he was running a smuggling business between Korea and China, but this time he came to Vladivostok with Kyung-hoon on board.

I got all the money, but I couldn’t help but worry about going alone to a frozen city full of monsters and no people.

“it’s okay. “Thank you for your hard work.”

But Kyung-hoon shook his head.

When Gyeong-hoon said it was okay, the captain asked another question.

“But is it really okay not to wait?”

I’m worried about going alone, but I’m told I shouldn’t wait. He was a person I could never understand.

“yes. You can go back right away.”

“No, how are you going to return to Korea...”

At the captain’s words, the navigator who was holding the helm behind him pouted and tried to argue.

“Let’s just leave it alone. Aren’t you an awakened person? There must be something.”

“You bastard. Aren’t awakened people human? They look like people going to die, so shouldn’t they say something!”

“Hey, he doesn’t look like he’s going to die, does he? “Do you want to bet with me?”

“That’s it! “I wonder if I’ll make that bet with you.”

“Giggles...”

The captain looked decent, but a smuggler was a smuggler.

Kyung-hoon smiled, opened the door, and came out of the mission.

A biting wind was blowing.

I was wearing a thick winter parka, but the wind was blowing through it.

It is about 5km to the port. The water was frozen 1km ahead.

Even though it wasn’t winter, not only the outer port, which is said to freeze only in winter, but even the inner port, which is said to never freeze all year round, was frozen.

“Ugh... I only heard about it... but it’s really cold. Wait. “I’ll drop you off the boat,”

another sailor followed, shaking.

Kyunghoon shook his head.

There was no need for a boat.

Ta ta ta.

Kyung-hoon ran to the railing and jumped under the boat.

“Ahh! “You crazy guy!”

Jump up!

At the startled voice, the bridge door opened again and the captain showed his face and asked.

“What’s wrong?”

“You crazy guy. No, the guest jumped into the water!’

’What!’

The captain ran to the ship’s railing with the crew.

The two looked down at the railing, but all they could see was the ice-cold sea and waves below.

“I wonder if he committed suicide after coming all the way here...”

While the captain muttered while looking at the sea, the sailor looked around and blinked when he saw the front of the ship.

“Oh, what is that?”

There was an object moving across the sea water. It was neither a flying fish nor a dolphin.

It was a person. Also, the person who just jumped. He looked as if he was running on water.

As the sailor said, the captain also opened his mouth when he saw the scene.

“Oh my god....”

*

Papapapak!

Gyeonghoon ran across the water, spewing out mana from his feet.

Although the damaged mana circuit had not yet been restored, it was still possible to run on water.

Even on ice . The distance of 1km quickly disappeared, and Kyung-hoon continued to run on the ice covered with water.

The ice was slippery, but Kyung-hoon was not one to be bothered by such things.

In an instant, he passed through the outer port, then the inner port, and arrived at the port.

Chin.

When he got on the dock, he saw I felt the cold more clearly.

“Then what do you do? “It can’t be made.”

The researcher continued, glaring at the CEO once again.

“The problem is that there is no such thing as a mana stone that reacts with electronic devices. It is possible to suck out the energy of a mana stone like a mana stone generator or to use managene to display characteristics like a monster weapon discovered last time, but there are no mana stones that react with inanimate objects themselves.” “I wonder if there was a DNA computer or biological computer.

” . It was impossible from the beginning. “We were fools.”

At the CEO’s words, the researcher just sighed.

“It’s just as you said. “I tried to force it to connect, but it was impossible.”

After she finished speaking, Kyung-hoon tilted his head.

“So, even if there is such a monster, only the mana stones of such monsters can be used to run the AI, right?”

She shook her head in response to Kyung-hoon’s question.

“That’s not true. If you figure out how to link it, it will be possible with regular mana stones.” .“

”Hmm, shouldn’t it be added to the circuit?”

”Only at first, but after making it a few times, the whole brain itself will be possible with a regular chip.” ”

If that happens, it will be difficult to replicate....” ”

That’s true, but.... ”

Leaving Kyung-hoon asking a question, the researchers started talking amongst themselves.

Although the researchers had forgotten Kyung-hoon in an instant, one person was looking at him.

The accountant asked Kyung-hoon.

“No way, this company too...”

Kyung-hoon nodded.

“Yes, I plan to invest.”

“Yes?” “Yes?“ “Yes?”

“Huh? What?”

The accountant and the researchers who were having a heated discussion looked at Kyung-hoon in surprise, and the CEO looked at everyone with a puzzled expression.

This company was definitely right.

The theory, the concept, and the logo on the door.

“Let me ask you one thing. What about AI?” “If you make it, what do you plan on calling it?”

“Ah Adam...”

“Eve! It’s Eve!”

Cutting off the female researcher, the CEO shouted loudly,

“Why did you use that as the logo? Get rid of stupid Adam! The species began with Eve!”

The two researchers sighed at the CEO’s words.

But Kyung-hoon was confident in his words.

“I will invest. I will invest fully.”

On the rooftop of a building in central Vladivostok, Kyung-hoon looked regretful:

“I should have had the monster mana stone I caught in Jamsil.”

If only we had those mana stones, AI development could have started right away. Unfortunately, the mana stone was handed over to SG Electronics for research purposes.

“The monster here doesn’t seem to be a liquid monster either...”

A huge monster was lying down in front of Kyunghoon. It was a monster with chunks of ice all over its body.

Although it was the same water, this monster had a thick chunk of flesh underneath the ice.

“It doesn’t seem like there’s a pattern nearby... Let’s just check where it’s lying and catch it quickly.”

It was impossible to use the rail gun. It was too cold near the monster.

Kyung-hoon took out Mirinae.

And mana was infused into Mirinae.

Wooooow.

Mirina started shaking and

boom.

The ice monster that was lying down began to rise up.

Kukukuk.

It seemed to be a monster sensitive to mana.

The sight of the monster standing up on two feet was very disgusting.

Instead of skin, the monster was using chunks of ice as its shell.

Underneath the translucent ice chunks were full of hideous flesh and blood vessels.

A huge monster, like a body that had been peeled off and placed in a block of ice, stood tall in front of Kyung-hoon.

Wow!

The monster screamed at Kyung-hoon, but Kyung-hoon did not see the monster.

He was looking at the floor where the monster stood.

I could see complicated lines drawn under the ice.

There was a pattern drawn on the floor.

The manazine used for dimensional travel clearly remained.
