Chapter 2 (1/2)
Chapter 2 – One in Ten Thousand (2)
Jungwu’s eyes widened as he realized that suddenly, he had knowledge on subjects he never learned
Jungwu looked dumbfoundedly at Dr Moon, whose expression seeet it? He then looked down on his arm where he received the injection and suddenly, felt shi+vers go throughout his entire body
“What is this…”
Jungwu never listened in on any lectures related to chemistry before, but it was as if his brain was linked to a science database
Technical knowledge was constantly riding on his nerves and being transferred automatically
“What have you done to me?”
“It’s exactly as you see”
Dr Moon had a thin swu
“Are you telling e to another person with a simple injection?”
“That’s not exactly it, but the concept is similar”
What is this crazy talk? Jungwu snorted in disbelief, but he couldn’t refute the fact of what he’d just experienced
“The knowledge you have just drawn on is just an insignificant portion This is stuff that anyone can gain fro a book in a bookstore”
Dr Moon pointed outside
“Shall we take this conversation to the reception room over some tea?”
AN Hospital’s VIP-Only lounge
Dr Moon placed a briefcase on the table and took out a bottle from within She opened the lid then placed a pill on the table
Jungwu looked at the blue jelly lump, coated in a transparent capsule, curiously
“What is this?”
“You could say that this is the original version of the AF-12 that you’ve been injected with This can supply knowledge much more safely than the diluted solution Of course, it is nutritionally excellent too”
Jungwu’s face changed as he thought about the purpose of this blue pill
The recruit for a particular kind of person This was no ordinary clinical trial
“So? What are you trying to do by feeding erous pill? H-Human experiments? Maybe… dissection?”
“What do you erous? AF-12 is 100 safe If you are concerned about a possible side effect, ill include coes incurred as a result of side effects”
“Compensation or not, I’m not the kind of person who can take this kind of bone-chilling experihtly…”
“We want to hire Mr Jungwu”
“… Excuse me?”
Did I hear that right?
“Please join KG Chewu Han”
Jungas desperate to leap out of the lounge at any ical proposal that melted him on the spot
“This clinical trial was conducted with the purpose of finding a researcher that could help with this research project for KG Chee is noted in the contract, so do check it out However, you are going to start out as an intern There are no openings to fill up, and this is considering how Mr Jungwu Han’s past experiences don’t match with this line of work”
Hire Join coe
For soe last year, it was iwu’s heart flutter
Although he had spent the year applying for job interviews, Jungwu still hadn’t overco wall called employment
To be honest, wasn’t this also one of ht out in the daily war for employment; to alleviate a little of his mother’s burdens?
Jungwu started thinking faster than he had ever thought before
Typically, in negotiations, the one with the knife in hand has the initiative It was an e corporation like KG Che so at the contract documents that Dr Moon had placed before him
“Contract work? Then what about my future? Do you think I have all the ti you tell me to?”
To be honest, if he didn’t get employed in the next employment season, he would have plenty of time on his hands
As he maintained his poker face with the ‘I’m busy’ attitude, he saw Dr Moon bite her lips as she pondered over her answer Jungaited her response, wondering whether he caressively
“Of course, this was an offer wu Han’s circumstances It seems like there’s no choice”
‘Did I go too far?’
“We’ll add 20 in addition to the wage listed This is the absolute best we can offer What we need is a unique individual who can absorb AF-12 And you just proved that you could Therefore you need to keep this in et out of this early because you couldn’t adjust to the particulars of the job, our lawyers will hold you liable for the da the clinical trials, after halting midway”
Jungwu’s e than the part where things could be hard for hiaze went over to the contract
“We haven’t coreement yet but…”
Jungwu had to s the saliva in his e
100 million won
‘Didn’t you say to come in as an intern!’
The offered as a hundred million won
If you include the additional 20, he was getting a staggering pay of 10 million won per month
This was not the kind of money a new hire at a coe he was able to receive through that pill, just why? If it’s a major corporation like KG Chemical, wouldn’t there be plenty of professors interested in employment?
“About this blue pill – what do you e supplier?”
“Will you understand it if I put it into words?”
Dr Moon held the blue pill in her hands then brought it before him
Jungas in a dilemma as she offered the pill to him
‘Do I take this or not?’
His eyes went over the wage clause on the contract
Neither danger nor goosebuwu took the blue pill
He sed it without water
10 seconds passed when a sudden heat spread down to his stomach
“Hut”
He tried to endure, but the heat coursing through his stowu’s heart sink
“What’s happening? I feel like I sed boiling water”
“It’s a si, so don’t be alarmed”
He could feel eachthroughout his body using his nervous systee experience
At soer feel the continuous heat in his belly
“How do you feel?”
Dr Moon asked him unfazed
‘Does this look like I got energized froorant?’
DNA e, were spread throughout his body A chemical neteb had also been forhout his body
He couldn’t understand hi this pheno
“I’e I haven’t had before, but most importantly…”
Jung a strange scene before hih resolution was placed before his eyes; he felt Dr Moon’s cheek grow closer at an alaret sucked in if he were to stare into her deep, clear eyes
Jungwu thought he was hallucinating, so he rubbed his eyes and tried to refocus, but he had to stop hi better, he could see her skin with even greater detail
This was not a phenowu tried to rationalize this as an optical illusion
‘What?’
But this was only the beginning
He was zoo sucked into her skin, but now it felt like he was staring at a huge TV screen that took up all of his vision When it reached about the size of a movie screen, he was captivated by the marvel of it all
He was looking at the sky of the vast land called the skin
So like a star
Lost in thought, he ondering if this shi+ny thing was the nucleus of soe phenomenon caused by AF-12
‘Did the first astronaut to reach the space beyond the skies feel this way?’
Meanwhile, Dr Moon placed a different document before him
“These are the terms on security matters Read this slowly and carefully When you’ve finished, I will go over what you must absolutely adhere to”
He approached Dr Moon
In doing so, he felt as if her skin had become a much more vast space
“Jungwu Han?”
On the star that was shi+ning above her skin, an overlay hovered over it with the word [FE] Next to it the eleen, [O], flew closer and closer until it formed a stable orbit with the Iron
Elemental star He should probably call it that
