Chapter 177: Master of Myths (3)

“Laser?”

“Laser…?”

“You mean, laser?”

Since communication with ‘friends’ through the television was being heard by everyone in the room, chaos erupted in an instant.

“What nonsense, laser? Why would there be a laser here?”

At Jeonggu’s words, Yeongwoo waved his hand in the air.

“Ah, because it’s so noisy, could everyone please quiet down?”

Then he asked Yeongtae on the television again.

“Are you sure? Laser bombardment…?”

Upon which, Yeongtae pushed the menu towards the transparent camera in the air.

―Look, it’s written here.

“Ha.”

It was indeed there.

In the middle of the large menu shown by Yeongtae, there was clearly written “Laser Bombardment.”

However.

“What’s above laser bombardment? Is it blank?”

Yeongwoo asked when he saw the empty space at the top of the menu, to which Yeongtae shook his head.

—There’s something more, but it’s covered for now. Seems like it’s locked or something.

Yeongtae said with his nose wrinkled, just like a true sniffer.

―But there are many other things besides this. There’s also high-definition television, and something called a generator… huh?

While examining the prices of other products, Yeongtae suddenly widened his eyes.

“Why? What is it?”

To which Yeongwoo asked, tilting his head, and this time General Kim Younghyeom snatched the menu from Yeongtae’s hand.

Hmph!

—What’s this? There’s no price for laser bombardment?

“Eh?”

Could it mean it’s free?

From the name alone, it definitely didn’t seem like something that could be free.

“General, what are you talking about?”

Yeongwoo was about to ask again about the price of the bombardment.

―Whoa! General!

―Be careful!

With Yeongtae and Taejoon’s frightened voices, General Kim Younghyeom selected ‘Laser Bombardment’ from the menu.

Seeing there was no price tag, he immediately proceeded with the purchase.

And then.

Zap!

Instantly, the returnee’s room on the television shone brightly white.

“Gasp.”

“…What’s that?”

Something astonishing enough to even surprise the people in the bedroom piled up in the returnee’s room.

It was none other than.

―Damn these lunatics.

Components of a laser gun turret.

Presumably, when properly assembled, it would become a huge machine, consisting of thousands of parts.

“…Oh my.”

Yeongwoo, who examined the returnee’s room through the television, soon touched his forehead.

He seemed to have a good idea of what was going on.

‘So, is this why the returnee’s room seemed endlessly spacious?’

The essence of the returnee’s room began to fit the assumption of it being a prison.

Instead of selling laser guns, why give out countless parts?

It must be a hint to assemble that thing while time passes, like inmates in a prison doing labor.

‘Well… It’s more productive than just playing chess endlessly.’

In actual prisons, inmates are often assigned to produce products like soap and razors under the name of penal labor.

So, in a way, this is also a kind of penal labor.

Of course, it would be nearly impossible for the three, who were not even from the mechanical field, to correctly assemble those many parts.

And as expected, this time, a system message appeared to both the ‘friends’ and Yeongwoo.

「Due to the purchase of the television, conditional two-way communication has been enabled.」

「As a result, some equipment sponsored by the weapon company Toma has been added to the list of activatable products.」

‘Weapons company Toma?’

Since it wasn’t written in a transcendent language, its meaning couldn’t be clear, but to Yeongwoo’s thoughts, it seemed like one of those universal arms manufacturers, like ‘Dogo.’

Plop!

Then, the returnee’s room flashed again, and a hefty holographic book appeared in front of the three prisoners.

“What, what is this?”

While the others were curious, Yeongwoo felt even more intrigued.

And the three on the television hurriedly opened the problematic book.

After a while, General Kim Younghyeom began to stumble as he recited the first words of the book.

―Thank you for purchasing Toma’s product. This product is a planetary-scale bombardment support equipment, and if you need bombardment at the galactic level, please contact headquarters…

“Crazy.”

So, in short, the holographic book the three received was some sort of product manual.

Kim Younghyeom just read the preface, indicating that the laser turret activated this time supports planetary-scale bombardment.

And if you want intergalactic long-range bombardment, you need to purchase additional products through Toma headquarters.

―I thought it might be a ballistic missile because I saw something like a barrel, but it turned out to be completely different.

After Kim Younghyeom roughly scanned the book, Yeongwoo quickly asked.

“General, so what does that mean?”

―Orbital bombardment.

“Yes…?”

―If we complete the launcher here and shoot the laser, somewhere up there, they will receive the laser and shoot it at the target for us.

“Is that possible?”

―Let’s see if those guys from Toma can do it. What… should we call it intermediary orbital bombardment? It’s a way I’ve never seen before.

A laser.

If you shoot energy, Toma receives that power and attacks on our behalf…

It sounded like a story that wasn’t entirely implausible at first glance.

“And what about the bombing target? If you’re just shooting lasers on your side, how do you know the bombing target?”

Then General Kim Younghyeom, who had been diligently searching through the holographic book, suddenly looked up at the camera with a puzzled expression.

―Are you really going to use this?

Perhaps feeling something ominous, General Kim Younghyeom immediately used a distant form of address towards Yeongwoo.

“What else would we do? As long as we can assemble it.”

―It may take some time, but we can assemble it. Everything after this is just assembly instructions.

Then, finally, Younghyeom found the coordinate request part in the manual.

However.

―Ah.

His first words were a sigh.

“Why?”

―To properly carry out laser bombardment, at least two things are needed.

“What are they? Please tell me.”

Yeongwoo urged, and General Kim Younghyeom raised his fingers one by one.

―First, a generator for constant operation of the television and launcher. Ah, it seems like you can’t keep the television on indefinitely.

Generator.

This was the product mentioned by Yeongtae earlier.

Among the items with price tags, there was a generator in addition to the high-definition television.

―Second, a coordinate locator.

“A coordinate locator…?”

―This is something you need to acquire. When you call out the coordinates from your end, we enter them into the launcher.

“I see… That makes sense.”

Yeongwoo now understood this whole process to some extent.

The three prisoners detained in the returnee’s room would assemble the laser turret until the next call, and in the meantime, Yeongwoo on Earth thought,

‘I can search for the coordinate locator from traders… I can issue a warrant to the Seoul Strongest Swords tomorrow afternoon.’

He might not know, but that coordinate locator is likely a product from a company called ‘Toma.’

If he were the CEO of Toma, he would have set up a bait like that.

―Wow, this is amazing.

Meanwhile, Yeongtae, who had already started touching the launcher components, showed on the other side how two pieces of metal stuck together like magnets.

―They stick together like magnets. See?

To this, Yeongwoo showed a response that was not particularly surprised.

“It’s probably designed to be assembled by hand.”

They support even intergalactic-scale bombardment.

So, implementing that level of convenience is a piece of cake for them.

Yeongwoo stared at the numerous components in horror, then turned to General Kim Younghyeom again.

“Anyway, you’ll have plenty to do for a while.”

He omitted the unnecessary words about not feeling bored, but General Kim’s dissatisfaction emerged immediately.

―No, but why do we have to go through this trouble? Isn’t it enough to fight willingly every time you call us?

He meant that he was trapped here for a showdown with Kim Jong-un, the Secretary-General of the Joseon Workers’ Party, not for endless labor.

To this, Yeongwoo looked genuinely puzzled and asked.

“Are you serious?”

―What?

“Laser turret ready for launch! Target: Kim Jong-un, Secretary-General…!”

Yeongwoo suddenly made a crazy remark, but at least General Kim Younghyeom showed a more enthusiastic demeanor than anyone else.

―Ah…!

He only realized it now.

If they could complete that weapon in time, they might be able to use the laser turret in the showdown with Kim Jong-un.

“Launch command? No. You can press the launch button directly.”

At Yeongwoo’s words, General Kim Younghyeom, who was barely calming down his excitement, coughed slightly.

―Hmm, that’s not such a bad suggestion.

“And anyway, you guys are the ones doing the laser bombardment, right? So you can also accumulate merit points.”

―Oh!

―Ah, that’s really true.

Yeongtae and Taejoon also nodded with bright expressions at the mention of merit points. This meant that they could acquire points even when not on call.

There were still many leisure items on the menu that they hadn’t purchased yet.

―By the way, besides the laser bombardment, there were quite a few items locked above… What could they be?

Chairman Kim Taejoon muttered as he checked the menu again.

―Right. The first item we make was the laser turret. So the second one must be even more extraordinary.

General Kim Younghyeom also agreed with Taejoon’s thoughts.

“There must be something unreasonable.”

Yeongwoo was curious about the other products, but there was no immediate way to find out.

Perhaps the chairman would know?

Being a military contractor like Toma, he must be well-informed about this side of things.

‘Maybe they’re in competition with each other.’

It’s a problem that can’t be solved without more consideration.

Yeongwoo decided to wrap up the laser situation at this point.

“Anyway, please put in a lot of effort. The sooner you assemble it, the sooner you can use it in real combat.”

Perhaps later this afternoon, or tomorrow… Kim Jong-un would eventually appear in the northern part.

So they needed to prepare as quickly as possible.

―Yes, sir! We’ll hurry up!

―We don’t have anything to do here anyway.

―It’s better to do that than just stare at the hourglass.

With this agreement with the three detainees, Yeongwoo suddenly felt all the tension dissipating, and fatigue came over him.

All these things about lasers had given him a subtle psychological shock.

‘This crazy world… How far does it go?’

For now, it seemed like he needed to get some sleep, so he unconsciously made his way to the sofa in the living room.

Sssshh.

The space in the living room he was heading towards split open.

“Uh…!”

What’s this now?

As Yeongwoo reflexively prepared for battle, a familiar tone came from the split space.

―Earthling, the strongest man in Gyeongbuk and Gangnam, and the guardian of the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, it is an honor to meet you, Lord Jeong Yeongwoo 07!

“…Ah. Mr. Kubu.”

―I, who have been promoted to level 8 under the laws of the universe! Kubu, the guardian of the Tenta and the master of the Darro!

Kubu’s universal law rank promotion.

It seemed that his existence had been elevated as he was entrusted with Yeongwoo’s tax affairs.

“Oh, congratulations. Did you come under Chairman Dogo’s orders?”

As Yeongwoo approached with a bright smile, Kubu lifted the space and opened his eyes.

―Yes! Thanks to you mentioning my name, Lord Yeongwoo! For me, who has lived half my life as level 9, this is too much…!

Seeing Kubu sincerely moved, Yeongwoo scratched his chin cautiously and offered a luck.

“So, do you have something prepared?”

―Thank you so much… Uh, what…?

It seemed to be an unexpected story, as Kubu forgot to even blink and stared at Yeongwoo.

―Um, what are you talking about?

“On Earth, there is a long-standing tradition of bribes. If you’re not familiar, I’ll explain it to you now.”
