Trait Hoarder Chapter 179

Episode 179 Under the Han River -1-

The first step is to subdue the Dark Jaguar Cult.

The correct way to enter Geumjeong is through the Han River.

In terms of games, it’s like clearing a dungeon normally.

You can easily enter with just scuba diving equipment.

‘But there is difficulty.’

It’s a frontal attack, so that’s natural.

The followers of the evil spirit have finished all their preparations and are ready to welcome me.

‘Stealth play is also okay.’

The second way is to sneak through the forbidden emergency exit.

If you don’t get caught, it will be easy to conquer.

You will also get secret documents and various treasures.

Originally, it was an item discarded by the Dark Jaguar Cult.

But after thinking about it calmly, I gave up.

I am not an assassin.

The only traits related to an assassin are stealth and playing dead.

With these two traits, it’s nearly impossible to avoid detection.

If you get caught in the middle, you will definitely cause chaos and lose all your loot.

‘I just want to secure the documents.’

Treasure is good no matter what.

There isn’t a single magical weapon worth coveting.

But I would like to check the confidential documents.

In the game, all that was output was phrases like ‘document written in encryption’, ‘unreadable’, etc., but guess what?

Will the experts at Kumoh Group find out anything?

‘The third way.’

A method that could not be used in the game.

I guess I’ll have to use the method that the old-timers used to talk about on the bulletin boards.

“There is something the chairman can help me with.”

“What is it?”

“Did you hear where the dark jaguars are?”

“Yes. You said it was under the Han River. It looks like they’ve set up a restricted area or something?”

“That’s right. I think I’ll start there.”

“Would you like me to help you with the fish transformation magic chip? Or the underwater breathing magic chip?”

It’s a standard, but if you were only asking for that much, you wouldn’t have even brought it up.

I spread out my hand and pretended to fan it.

“I will dry up the Han River.”

“Huh? What did you say?”

“There are about twenty dams on the Han River, right? Contact them and tell them to stop releasing water. In a few days, when the water level of the Han River drops sufficiently, we plan to install a large-scale water blocking barrier and water evaporation magic to expose the Han River bed. Then, we will fire a subdimensional vibration bomb at the entrance to Geumyeok to make them run out.”

Were there originally fifteen dams on the Han River?

That’s about it, but there are a few more dams in this world.

Seong Hee-young looked dumbfounded after hearing my plan.

“No, Master Mukho, are you saying that money is rotting? Do you know how much the sub-dimensional vibration bomb costs?”

“It’s a warning.”

“What warning?”

“It would be efficient to infiltrate the forbidden area and deal with it the right way, but it wouldn’t be an example.”

“As an example… … .”

“Mr. Chairman, look around you.”

I raised my finger and pointed out the window.

He pointed again outside the hallway, above the ceiling.

“This incident has probably already been reported on the news. By this evening, there will be no one in our country who doesn’t know about it. Is this only true in our country? Everyone abroad will know about it, too.”

“I am ashamed, Mr. Chairman.”

Director Kim bows his head for no reason.

Seong Hee-young also seems to understand what I mean.

“So we have to trample it down thoroughly?”

It is in line with the reason why I overturned Kuro Castle.

A show of force. Thorough retaliation.

Declaring that anyone who messes with me will not have fun.

“They don’t even give me time to clean up my base. I don’t know yet that I’ve found their base, but they’ll know as soon as they enter the restricted area.”

“Aha. I guess you’re thinking of mixing something into the subdimensional vibration bomb? Not something that’ll completely destroy it.”

“You shouldn’t destroy it. You know what’s inside.”

It’s a trapdoor operation, and it’s a fire-fighting operation.

To do that, you have to handle it like lightning.

Before we even realize what’s going on outside, we have to drain the Han River and shove in a sub-division bomb.

Seong Hee-young tapped the bed handle.

“Now that I think about it, it makes sense. It might cost a bit of money, but it’ll definitely work. There’s just one problem.”

“Go ahead.”

“A moisture barrier and a moisture evaporation spell. Where are you going to install them? If you install them like when you build a bridge, the cultists will know about them first and run away.”

It’s very easy to build bridges in this world.

Because if you use the two magic spells I mentioned earlier, you can drain all the water.

In the original world, the Hangang Bridge was built in 1917, but in this world, it was already built in the early Joseon Dynasty using magical powers.

It burned down during the Imjin War.

“There is a way to do everything.”

I smiled and looked at Seong Hee-young.

Telepathy.

A flash of light flashed across his eyes as he noticed.

“Skidbladnir?”

“That is correct.”

“Hahaha. Okay. I understand your plan, Master Mukho. Let’s do that. I’ll pay for all the expenses. In return, please give me definite results. I’m sure you’ll figure it out.”

“You can look forward to it.”

It moved right away.

Seong Hee-young called me from her bed, and I took out the sky pear from the mountains of Gangwon-do.

I summoned the best player, called in Kim Cheol-kwon, and used Kim magic to place a spell on the Sun Tower.

“Wow! Is that it? It’s so cool!”

Kim Ma-beop couldn’t help but be amazed when he first saw the Sky Boat.

I thought it only stuck on flying cars, but I guess that wasn’t the case?

He stroked the golden surface and then curled his legs as if he needed to pee.

“Brother! Brother! Can I test ride this just once?”

“no.”

“Oh, why! You won’t even lend me the Red Cougar!”

“I heard the magic spirit cried and said it would kill itself if I lent it to you. That’s the first time I’ve seen a magic spirit cry.”

“Just kidding! Just kidding!”

“The Lord of the Tower also told me never to lend it to you.”

“Ah, this old man!”

Kim Magic is trying to turn him into a black magician who is unfilial.

I jumped up and headed up onto the deck.

On deck, work was in full swing to repair the ship.

“There! Be careful, let go!”

The one who leads the repair work is none other than Seo Woo-jin.

He shouts with the veins in his neck rising.

“The angle is off! I mean, align it exactly like the blueprint! Exactly!”

“Why are you doing that when something is slightly off?”

“It’s magic, magic! Don’t you know that if you don’t combine it properly, the magic will explode? This is worth a billion dollars! A billion dollars! Not even won, but dollars! If this explodes, I won’t be able to pay you back even if I take out your magic circuits, magic heart, and magic brain and sell them!”

“f*ck. Got it, got it!”

All the workers were also superhuman.

Put on your magic sunglasses and place objects according to the blueprint you see in augmented reality.

Great magic barrier, great magic activation circle.

Magic cannons, magic machine guns, automatic missile launchers, etc.

Thanks to the superhuman crews that could move almost as if they were flying, the magical ships of myth were gradually taking on the appearance of modern warships.

“You’ve worked hard.”

“teacher!”

Seo Woo-jin looked at me and smiled brightly.

“The number is going smoothly! Just give me a few days and I’ll be done.”

“I told you, you’re good at it.”

“Hahaha. It’s not perfect though. It’s just a temporary weapon. If you want to do it properly, you’ll have to catch me.”

“I’ll ask you again then.”

“Of course! Just leave it to me!”

As expected, it’s Seo Woo Jin.

It’s been proven in the game by building land battleships, so I guess we can just leave it like this.

“Director Kim! No, Master Mukho!”

Vroom!

Dozens of SUVs came rushing in with clouds of dust.

A man with shiny hair jumps down.

Every time I see this guy, my hair falls out.

President of the Hunters’ Association.

It’s been a while since the Monster Village Chameleon incident.

“I came running at your request. Do you need long-distance support?”

“Yes. It won’t be difficult. Just attack from a distance from the deck of my ship.”

“Hahaha! Easy! Easy! Members! Isn’t it just free? What do you think? What did I say? I said that if you just listen to our Mukhogeomju CEO, you’ll get rice cakes even in your sleep?”

“Ahahahaha!”

The hunters’ association members burst into laughter.

Most of them are level 3 or 4.

That’s enough.

If you attack with my Command and Command traits, you will have firepower stronger than a battleship’s main gun.

“hello friend.”

It wasn’t just the Hunters’ Association that came running.

A woman wearing an incongruous yellow one-piece dress ran towards the monsters.

A human whose entire body is made of electricity.

A three-eyed creature with an extra eye on its forehead.

Asura with three heads and six feet, the owl man, the bird that brings thunder, etc.

“uh?”

“Rice, mutant?”

The only ones who were surprised were the laborers.

Ah, Kim Magic is surprised and reflexively breathes out flames.

But I waved my hand naturally.

“How have you been?”

“Thanks to my friend. What’s that human next to you? A half-mutant?”

“It’s like that because the Phoenix circuit was transplanted.”

“What a strange person.”

Kim Magic lowered his hand as the woman and the skeleton snake stared at him.

“Rice, I thought it was a mutant.”

“That’s rude.”

“sorry.”

In the direction Kim Magic was looking, the hunters and mutants were high-fiving.

“Hey, do you still fart and stuff when you drink?”

“Huh! Back then, I was trying too hard to catch terrorists, but now I can beat you even by a hair!”

“You’re laughing at the fact that I passed out before 12 o’clock. Want to grab a drink after work?”

“Call me, human!”

It looks like things are still okay.

I nodded my head as I looked at the mutants’ faces.

Not only did they bring long-distance specialists, but they also brought all the mutants who had free time.

That’s okay though.

Because you can use the magic gun.

“Hello, Master Mukho Sword.”

“Ah, magician.”

A wizard dispatched from the Sun Tower approached.

An old man with white hair.

What did you say your name was?

What was it?

The wizard responsible for implementing the ultimate goal and the one who invited me to the Sun Tower.

I knew the name back then, but I forgot it now.

“The barrier and magic circle have been set up. But are you really going to use them only for one time? It would be a waste to do that.”

“There’s no need for it since it’s not for deep-sea diving.”

“Huh… … That’s right. Then you should equip something else.”

“I’m thinking about it. I’ll leave it to you later once I decide.”

“Hehehe. Sure. I’ll do my best to engrave it for you.”

The epitome of a mobile base.

Why not install things like climate control, environmental control, durability enhancement, artificial enclosures, and defensive barriers?

Installation is possible at any time, although money and materials are the issue.

You can just ask the Sun Tower.

I swept the sky boat.

The weapons were painted silver to match the hull.

I didn’t have time to install the extra-large turret and large-caliber main gun, but I’m satisfied with this alone.

Actually, it should be seen as excessive firepower.

In terms of cracking down on one cult.

It would have been easy even if the Hunter’s Association or Monster Village hadn’t joined.

“Impressive.”

After everything is ready.

Seong Hee-young, who was also on board the Sky Ship’s bridge, said.

Kiing, kiing.

There were also changes to the bridge.

Especially the Red Cougar’s seat.

The sight of it being clumsily connected by wires has disappeared.

A magic ring was installed on the captain’s seat, and small magic rings were embedded in each element of the Red Cougar, connecting the two.

With a clear halo.

As if a rainbow bridge was connected.

[Master, the launch preparations are complete. The water level of the Han River has also reached its lowest level. Upon arrival, the magic circle can be activated to completely evaporate the river water in the target area within 1 minute.]

“good.”

I sat in the captain’s seat.

After remodeling, I especially liked this.

The fact that it can be comfortably controlled even when the Red Cougar is connected.

There used to be a red cougar that obstructed my view, but there isn’t any more of that.

The same goes for the joystick.

Instead of a fancy steering wheel, the joystick of a state-of-the-art fighter jet was firmly attached to my hand.

“Operation begins.”

[The Sky Boat is taking off. All passengers, please remain seated and fasten your seatbelts. We are about to take off. 3, 2, 1, Sky Boat, taking off!]

The Skyship is the size of an aircraft carrier.

Of course, it moves slowly.

But only when I’m not directly controlling it.

[Boarding][Controlling][All]

[Magic Explosion][Air Raid][Movement]

But what if I control it?

What if we optimize the feature set like this?

Kwaarrung!

Lightning struck.

The giant rose like a shell.

The large empty lot where the ship was anchored is turned upside down in an instant.

The shockwave explodes like a bomb, blowing up trees, the ground, and rocks.

“Mom!”

Seong Hee-young, who was sitting arrogantly without even wearing a seatbelt, screamed.

It wasn’t just Seong Hee-young.

There were groans here and there.

I checked the passengers’ condition through Geumoh-an and then turned my attention away.

Since they were all superhumans, no one got hurt.

There were some surprised people though.

Kwaaang! Kwaaah!

The explosion of magic power pushes the Skyship forward in earnest.

A sky ship that tears through the clouds and flies like a monstrous wolf.

It was fast.

A distance that would have originally taken two and a half hours is now covered in 30 minutes.

This is also great, but it doesn’t appeal to me.

‘It’s slower than the Red Cougar.’

Because the Red Cougar is a supersonic flying car.

Since the Skyship is large, it might have a hard time going subsonic, but shouldn’t it go at least half the speed of sound?

Let’s create a few more features.

Here we are only going to double it.

“I can see Yeouido!”

Seo Woo-jin, sitting in the lecture hall, shouted.

I nodded and stood up from the captain’s seat.

“Full combat deployment.”

“All forces ready for battle!”

The sitting superhumans move to their seats.

Close-range specialist superhumans ride in the magic gun seats.

Long-range attack superhumans sit in gun emplacements at the tip of the deck.

The Hunter’s Guild President bends his right hand and takes out a magic crossbow.

On the other side, a skeleton snake was tearing off a finger and loading it with the bone.

“Huh?”

“A ship? A ship is flying in the sky!”

“Is this civil defense training?”

“The alarm didn’t sound… … .”

Yeouido Hangang Park.

Citizens enjoying a spring outing look up at us.

If you listen closely, you can hear the voices of the citizens talking about how good the newly installed detection devices are.

Whoosh. Whoosh.

Arrive at the destination.

A little northeast of Yeouido.

Between Mapo Bridge and Wonho Bridge.

It was the location of the entrance to the forbidden area that had been secretly investigated.

To be exact, the entire area between Bamseom Island and Nodeul Island is the entrance to Geumyeok Station.

Therefore, all the river water must be drained from Bamseom Island to Nodeul Island.

“Operation begins.”

“Operation begins!”

“Unleash your great magic!”

Woof, woof.

The barrier and magic circle are activated.

Sky boats covering the sky.

The magic engraved on that deck.

It was projected as is and crashed into the Han River.

Hahaha!

Rapidly evaporating river water.

It is also pushed out little by little.

It wasn’t a simple moisture barrier.

At the suggestion of the responsible wizard, a human blocking spell was also included.

So that the Dark Jaguar Cult guys who escaped from the forbidden zone cannot escape.

Swaaaah.

Just one minute.

The Han River quickly revealed its bottom.

The spotlights that come on next.

A point appears, fluttering in the air.

Would it look like that if you just scattered a bunch of metal pieces around?

At first glance, the unnatural cracks were long and wide.

“Launch of a sub-division bomb.”

“Launch sub-division bomb!”

Boom! Boom!

The missile is launched.

The thruster is fired while containing a black salt catalyst subdimensional vibration bomb.

It traces a trajectory like a snake winding through the air and enters the forbidden zone.

There was silence for a moment.

Just before the battle.

The air, neither excessive nor disturbing, was aimed squarely at the bare Han River.

And finally.

“Eww!”

“Ugh!”

“Coolook! Keuheuk!”

People in diving suits jumped out.

Coughing inside the oxygen mask.

Then he looks around in confusion.

“What is this? Why is it like this?”

I thought it was under the Han River.

But you were wrong.

The moment I came out of the diving suit, everything was decided, even though I wasn’t properly armed.

He brought his mouth to the captain’s seat microphone.

He shouted briefly, using [commands] and [orders].

“Commence shelling.”
