Chapter 254

Closed Dimension (3)

Hubert Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s office.

“...Then, I will handle the mineral distribution matter as you said, Mr. Merchant.”

“So, is that the end of the matter to be reported?”

“yes! That’s all that’s urgent right now. “Do you have any additional instructions?”

After finishing her work report, Diana tilted her head as she gathered the approved documents.

Her hair was neatly organized and braided in one place, and her clothes were neat and formal.

Now, no matter where you look at her, she has grown into an excellent secretary.

“No, that’s enough. “If anything else comes up, I’ll call you then.”

“Ah yes! “Then I’ll just leave.”

“If it is not an important issue, take action on your own and report it later. “I want to focus on myself for a moment today.”

“all right!”

Holding an armful of documents in her arms, she bowed her head and walked out of the office with cautious steps.

Clack-

Then the door closed and Hubert was left alone.

He leaned back against the back of the chair with a small satisfied smile on his lips and slowly stroked his chin.

‘You’re saying he’s very capable as expected? Since most things were taken care of, work became easier. My fault is that I’m still young and lack experience, but that’s true for me as well. No, I should say that he is much better than me.’

In fact, Hubert’s wealth was nothing special.

The financial power, military power, and information power through other avatars were very fraudulent, and a certain amount of luck was added to that to get to where he is now.

On the other hand, Diana’s talent was truly extraordinary.

Isn’t this a ‘genius talent’ guaranteed by the ‘Analysis’ skill?

‘It’s still at that level, but if you give me the right information...’

Those who knew nothing were busy expressing admiration for Hubert’s foresight based on superior information, but this was the reaction of Diana, who took over as his secretary. was different.

Based solely on intuition, Harris not only reached the conclusion he reached after much deliberation, but also instantly grasped the intent behind his short instructions and suggested a more efficient plan.

‘Ever since I appointed Diana as secretary, my work efficiency has definitely improved tremendously. Plus, the reliability is perfect.’

He was a talent who, if given the right push, would raise the status of Hubert Trading Co. by several levels.

At first, I was only interested in the sense of smell, but I became satisfied, as if I had seen the stock I had bought without thinking increase several times more.

‘Then Diana will take care of most of the matters, so I’ll just focus on this work.’

A task he wanted to do on his own.

It had nothing to do with the Chamber of Commerce.

To be more precise, it wasn’t even related to the world we currently exist in.

Patter—patter!

A pile of books from the subspace magic tool hanging on Hubert’s wrist were piled up to the side.

At the same time, a faint ink scent spread out.

From start to finish, they were books from another world, made and bound in a style not seen in this world, and filled with unknown characters, starting from the cover.

After taking out all the things that had been delivered to him through the “Avatar Cloud” and stored separately, he finally finished preparing and picked up the book on top of them and immediately used “Analysis.”

〈Teolgoegong (鐵怪氣功)〉

– A German text of Teolgoebang classified as a school. When practiced in parallel with external exercises, energy circulates throughout the body’s cells, encouraging physical growth and making the body as hard as steel. In the future, it becomes advantageous to generate energy through the body, but it has the disadvantage of making it more difficult to grow beyond a certain level.

-Overall Grade: C- -Main

Features: Slightly low difficulty in learning, fast growth rate, high external attack skill, somewhat low internal attack skill, low growth limit.

‘That’s bullshit.’

Hubert flipped through the pages of the book, roughly examining its contents, then shook his head and moved it to the opposite seat.

It may be helpful in quickly raising practitioners to a level where they can be appropriately used, but such clumsy abilities are not something he really needs.

Then his hands moved busily.

“...No, wait.”

But then a thought suddenly passed through his mind.

The direction and potential of a skill change depending on how the user uses it, and the limits of the ability developed in this way also vary depending on the level of skill.

‘If I use this well.’

“Xenoglossy,” a superpower that allows you to escape all language-related restrictions.

And “Analysis,” a skill that is superior to “Emotion” and shows great utility in understanding something.

Without hesitation, he activated both skills at the same time and poured all his mental power into them.

‘This is the first harvest from Kang Hwan-gye. ‘First of all, I’ll have to do everything I can.’

I went to another dimension thinking I might be able to get something at best, but wouldn’t it be so unsightly to leave here?

As he poured out all of his spare mental power resources, “nervousness” activated and his thinking accelerated endlessly.

Tsutsu side—

The brain was spinning furiously, burning endless energy.

The connection between “Analysis” and “Xenogloss,” which was monotonous at first, gradually became stronger, and I began to vaguely feel the meaning contained within it, not just the meaning of the context.

The author’s intention in the sentence was identified, the crushed words were inferred, and the overall sentence was inferred.

But this was still not enough.

‘Okay, let’s see this through to the end.’

Hubert took a refreshing drink of the bottle of elixir of VIP market growth that was already in his hands and resumed his work.

As the price began to rise, the progress of the work began to increase at a frightening rate.

‘This condition lasts for 7 days?’

But it won’t take until the 7th to finish this job.

After about half a day had passed since I had delved into the most difficult sentences as if cracking a code—.

《The entity has met the conditions and achieved enlightenment. Acquire the skill “Code Interpretation.”

As soon as I acquired the new skill, the work that had been going on so tightly was suddenly blown away.

***

“Huh huh—.”

With a deep breath, the surrounding energy was sucked into Harris’ lungs.

Due to the characteristics of the High Elf race and the affinity that had reached transcendence, the natural energy that had been semi-forced was complying with his will much more naturally than before.

‘Right. I think I know roughly what it feels like.’

Harris, who had taken the time to become more familiar with the energy of this world according to the laws of Kang Hwan-gye, slowly nodded.

Hubert’s newly acquired ‘Code Interpretation’ grew rapidly under the influence of the leap right after its creation, and the interpretation work naturally gained further momentum.

In addition, Harris, a member of Kang Hwan’s circle, immediately began to verify the results, which in turn helped Hubert’s analysis, leading to a virtuous cycle.

‘Muyu Bagua Secret Technique... I think this would suit Harris quite well.’

During this visit, I only planned to settle down and prepare the groundwork to increase my influence in the future, but it seemed like I gained more than I expected.

I’m not sure because the interpretation of the big level hasn’t been completed yet, but if I can learn it clearly and harmonize it with the existing power...

‘How much synergy will it be? Maybe with that, I can overcome the wall that is blocking my path now.’

Harris already knew.

The moment he crossed the wall with the help of the divine being called the World Tree, he had already reached the limit of his growth.

Of course, it was the best at the time, and transcending was proof that he had become one of the strongest in the world, but when things turned out like this, I couldn’t help but feel disappointed.

‘For now, just knowing there is a possibility is enough.’

During his visit at the right time, he came into contact with the opportunity he needed.

I wasn’t sure yet if this was just a coincidence or if there was some other reason...

but I decided to think about it later.

“...I will ask you again. “What business have you come to this family’s territory?”

Now, there were a lot of warriors with a lot of energy, each aiming at him with their drawn weapons.

It’s been about a day since I left Dongdongho.

Harris had arrived at his target, the Zhuge family in Yongzhong Mountain.
