Chapter 51 (1/2)
Han Chang Jin mobilized the network he had built in the virtual version to find Ghost Gun.
There is nothing he could do about the people he had met in passing, but there are a few Lifers he had exchanged contact information with. He rode them over and over again.
He was able to find out Ghost Gun’s identity in a matter of 3 months, and they are facing each other now. He had one thought after finding Ghost.
Ghost Gun is in the dark. He is hard to find. Han Chang Jin and Ghost Gun are not personal acquaintances, but he is someone so famous that everyone in Korea knows who he is.
He is a good looking man with a gentle smile. He prepared coffee pods as though they are from a luxurious drip.
Strangely, it was like watching a scene from a commercial he appears in.
Ghost Gun is Lim Si Hyun. One of the top 5 actors in Korea and the master of a large guild sponsored by Chilsung Group.
Maybe because the master is an actor, they have their fair share of celebrities.
Lim Si Hyun is a distant nephew of the owner of Chilsung. There is not a tremendous reason why this distant cousin became master of the guild above other linear relatives.
None of the Chairman’s relatives showed excellence as a Lifer. Since he could not leave it to someone else, he had put Lim Si Hyun in the position.
As it was nearing the end of his exclusive contract, he did not say no. His life as an actor is fun too, but it is nothing compared to his life as a Lifer.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m Han Chang Jin.”
“I’m Lim Si Hyun, leading the 7 Stars.”
They introduced themselves to each other. They know the basic information on each other, but it is courtesy to give formal introductions.
Not too long ago, Lim Si Hyun heard rumors that someone was looking for him. When he heard that the person he would have to meet is Iron King, he allowed for the meeting.
Iron King is a fellow Korean and has a good reputation. He is also a soldier. It is fitting for his reputation as someone with a rigid personality.
“I got here after going through 4 of China’s ports for the first time.”
“I heard from Nuclear. Since the 36 rankers keep to themselves, I heard the rumor that you were looking for me.”
The virtual world map has a 1:1 ratio with the earth. Because of this, the 36 rankers have no way of meeting unless they operate in the same region.
“It has become a complicated world. I needed to meet you no matter what.”
“Let’s get to the point.”
Lim Si Hyun’s tone became serious. Judging by Han Chang Jin’s attitude, it did not seem like he had ulterior motives. His profession is also ordinary.
Is the government on the move? He had thought that it had been strangely quiet. It is a thought that anyone could have unless they are dumb.
“Lim Si Hyun, there are 2 reasons why I came looking for you on behalf of the nation.”
“So it is the government. Is it the President?”
“Yes.”
“I’ll listen.”
“Sorry, but I have one question first. I can complete a 3000 point level E mission by myself. Are you able to do that as well?”
“Can I think of this as your way to judge whether or not I am of value?”
Han Chang Jin bunched his lips. He had pointed it out correctly. He had the feeling that the situation is, ‘I did come looking for you, but I’m going to turn around now if you have no value.’
“I’ll tell you. As of now, I can complete it by myself in 5 days.”
Han Chang Jin’s expression became prudent. It is as he had expected. The 36 rankers are using what they know from the virtual version to advance faster than others.
Reality and virtual are different? It is true. Could someone who was not able to stand above others in the virtual version, be able to do so in reality?
He got to the conclusion.
Never!
It is impossible.
“I apologize if I offended you.”
“It’s nothing. It is true I’m offended that I’m being judged, but it’s something to be happy about to be recognized by someone of the same class.”
Lim Si Hyung laughed. He has a refreshing personality. He was not snobby and was easy unlike the rich. He is worthy of leading 7 Stars.
“What I saw from now on is a national secret, so only you need to know this.”
“I’m nervous.”
Han Chang Jin started speaking. A Lifer organization operated by nations all over the world has been created, and it is nearly completed.
Anything could become a reason for it, but the main purpose is world peace.
If they want to live as they did before the real version appeared, the government needs to hold the power. If it loses the power, it is the return of the Dark Ages.
