Chapter 463 - Spatial Property Force (4)
No wonder there were conspiracy theories that Hunters were actively preventing the development of skills out of fear of losing their jobs. With less than 0.1 percent progress, it made sense why they made up such conspiracy theories.
“I’ll need to do some research. You’ll help me, right, oppa?”
“Sure, I’ll help out a little.”
“Nice!”
Han-Yeol wasn’t too busy anyway.
Their conversation got sidetracked again, but Han-Yeol showed Yoo-Bi the body of the mechanical creature he’d captured in the dungeon. He showed her each separate piece that he had taken apart.
“By the way, I originally took a photo of the body intact, but my phone died halfway, so the picture’s gone.”
“Oh well. It’s a shame we don’t have a picture of the completed form, but it’s not too hard to run the analyzer and get a 3D representation of the completed body.”
“Really?” New n0vel chapters are published on
He didn’t know this, but it made sense that Han-Yeol knew nothing about mechanical engineering since he had majored in liberal arts.
Clap clap.
“Everyone.”
“Yes, general.”
The assistant researchers quietly followed behind Han-Yeol and Yoo-Bi and then quickly started moving at Yoo-Bi’s call.
However, they didn’t run.
Yoo-Bi was a cute and sweet little sister in front of Han-Yeol, but in reality, people called her the tiger general because she had a very scary and demanding personality. She especially hated people running in the lab unless it was absolutely necessary. Running and creating dust in a place where they dealt with machinery was something Yoo-Bi didn’t allow.
“Gather all the parts of this machine that Hunter Han-Yeol-nim brought and put them through the 3D analyzer.”
“Yes, general!”
At Yoo-Bi’s command, the assistant researchers started to move as fast as they could without running.
Han-Yeol’s safe return revitalized the depressed Republic of Korea. People returned to their usual cheerful, hard-working selves and started to focus on their individual duties. Koreans were naturally hard-working and sincere, and so after a brief period of chaos during Han-Yeol’s absence, things merely returned to normal upon his return.
Unfortunately, things were a little different in China.
“Riru...”
Han-Yeol saw Riru differently. Up until now, he had only considered her a pretty (by Bastroling standards) older sister who was good at fighting.
However, this kind of attitude from her was surprising. Han-Yeol had forgotten for a moment, but she was a young captain who had led the Bastro Warriors in Han-Yeol’s (Harkan’s) absence. Maybe she sensed Han-Yeol’s gaze, but her expression also became very serious.
[We must learn. It was certainly a shame to lose a dimension to those filthy, hyena-like races. But nothing will change if we simply sharpen our blades and wait to take revenge. If we rely solely on you, Harkan, then one day, when a hero like you doesn’t exist, we Bastrolings will lose the dimension to the likes of another hyena race. If that happens and there is no second Harkan, a second Han-Yeol, then we will never be able to regain the Bastro Dimension ever again.]
“...”
Everything she said was correct, so there wasn’t much Han-Yeol could say.
If the Bastrolings maintained their culture of close combat, then the next time a hyena-like race or another race with a more advanced system came along, they wouldn't be able to stop them without a great hero like Han-Yeol or Harkan. In fact, with the system as it was, they might not have been able to win even with a hero either.
Even if it weren’t the hyenas, a race that was somewhat smart, a different race could learn from the hyenas' defeat and attack with a more advanced system. But despite Han-Yeol’s former identity as Harkan, he was still a human, and even if the Bastrolings reclaimed their dimension, another Bastro Warrior would have to serve as the dimension lord.
One candidate for that position was Riru. Her eagerness to learn showed that the future of the Bastro Dimension wasn’t all that dark.
“That’s a really good attitude, Riru.”
[Yeah. Especially among our warriors, the fox children are learning a lot in the lab owned by the human named Yoo-Bi. Of course, her abilities are deceptive, so we can’t learn everything, but it still helps a lot.]
“Haha, is that so?”
They had sent fox warriors, the smartest of the dogs and the Bastro Warriors, but this didn’t mean that they were capable of understanding the complexity of human science and technology. The difference in scientific advancement between the Bastro Dimension and Earth was quite big to begin with. Nonetheless, Yoo-Bi kindly taught the fox warriors some practical technological weaponry, and they were eager to learn.
Just like this, they were gradually preparing for the war to liberate the Bastro Dimension.

Han-Yeol received an unexpected call from the owner of the White House. He had originally planned to meet them, but due to an accident, he was unable to do so.
[The accident was unfortunate.]
“Haha, I’m sorry about that. I should’ve taken better care of the aircraft.”
[Well, I’m glad to see that you’re safe.]
“Thank you, Mr. President.”
Of course, he didn’t have the skill to interpret English yet, so they had an interpreter in the middle of their conversation doing their best to translate in real time.
