Chapter 17. For Growth (4) (2/2)
“Kim Hajin-ssi?”
“Yes, that’s me.”
I felt like I knew who this man was. Only one person popped up in my head when I thought about Yoo Yeonha’s attendant – Jin Sechan.
The man presumed to be Jin Sechan placed the suitcase on the table without sitting down.
“Here’s the item. Please take a look.”
“Are you in a hurry? You can sit.”
I pointed at the chair in front of me. Before I received this item, I wanted to do a quick test.
“…Hm.”
He sat down without complaint.
I took out the laptop I bought from my bag. Yesterday, I made some changes to this laptop. Right, I could use the laptop to modify the laptop itself.
“Are you doing something?”
“What do you mean?”
The man tilted his head.
“Why are you tapping on air?”
“…You can’t see this?”
I lifted up my laptop.
“…”
He looked at me as if I was crazy.
I see, I had a bit of a suspicion, but it seemed I was right. Only I could see this laptop.
“Haha, I’m kidding.”
That was fine with me.
I turned the laptop on. The additional setting I put into my laptop was this.
[When Kim Hajin is within 50m of a target with an altered setting, the content and summary of the change will be sent to Kim Hajin’s laptop.]
[*Does not work on targets past a certain level of importance.]
The reason I added this setting was because I thought it would be more efficient if I was told about a change through an objective medium rather than having to notice it and then being told by the co-author.
Either because the co-author didn’t care or because he encouraged the modification I made, I only had to pay 200 SP.
[A change in setting has been detected.]
And currently, there was an alert in the laptop as expected.
[Jin Sechan – His feelings for Yoo Yeonha has been deepened.]
I didn’t mind this change.
“Anyways, I’ll take a look now.”
I opened the suitcase.
Click. Click.
With an elegant sound, the case opened. A brilliant light erupted from the inside.
“…Wow.”
Sitting on top of a fancy red velvet was a platinum handgun and a magazine. It was even more beautiful than what I saw in the picture.
“As promised, it’s the Desert Eagle with full attachments and a 60-round magazine of pinnacle grade magic bullets.”
“Thank you. You can go now.”
I no longer cared about Jin Sechan. Using my laptop, I checked my new weapon’s setting.
===
[Desert Eagle]
[High rank] [Metal attribute]
A masterpiece handgun. Contains several added effects.
「Attack Power Amplification – 1/10」
「Low rank Weight Reduction Magic」
「Intermediate rank Recoil Control Magic」
===
===
[Magic Bullet]
[Pinnacle grade] [Null attribute]
.44 Macon steel mana bullet with condensed high-purity mana.
「Attack Power – 4/10」
===
I felt much better being able to read their descriptions.
Without having to modify the gun or the bullet, I felt like I could easily kill a low-intermediate rank monster. I should also be able to take Aether from the devil’s nest in Suwon.
“Then I’ll be going.”
“Ah, yes, take care.”
After sending Jin Sechan off, I checked the amount of SP I had left.
250.
Now, how should I spend this?
**
After leaving the coffee shop, Jin Sechan contacted Yoo Yeonha. She asked as soon as she picked up the call.
—Did you deliver the item?
“Yes.”
—Was there anything special about him?
“That’s…”
There wasn’t anything “special”, but there was something he found strange. No matter how much he thought about it, the man’s demeanor wasn’t what a 17 year old should have. Not to mention, it was almost as if he knew who Jin Sechan was…
—Yes?
“…No. There wasn’t anything special in particular.”
But he couldn’t come to a decision with just that short exchange. After all, he was Cube’s cadet. Even Yoo Yeonha had an air of dignity and elegance that didn’t suit her age.
—Yes, I understand. Thank you for your work, Sechan-ssi.
“My pleasure.”
With that, the call ended.
Though he wanted to talk a little longer, he decided to be content.
