Most Lifers are prejudiced towards the ocean.
This is referring to the abnormal ocean where sea mutants live. This is the same for Cha Jun Sung. The ocean is where they can’t move properly without specialized equipment.
Sea General worked in the ocean for 10 years. A few users also worked in the ocean, but he is the only one who caught a level 8.
An underwater level 8, not a level 8 above ground. It’s incredible.
“There’s something that Lifers are mistaken about, but sea mutants are weaker than above ground mutants. It’s just that Lifers are handicapped because their activity is in the ocean, making people feel like these mutants are stronger.”
He said that he had been completing missions in the ocean since the reality version was launched.
“Above ground mutant are as smart as humans once they get to higher levels. Isn’t it kind of a definite since some of them are evolved from humans?”
Sea mutants aren’t like that. Humans can’t live in the ocean.
Since evolution begins from marine life, they become smart animals rather than as smart as humans.
Sea mutants can’t approach humans intelligence, and they can’t get close to absorbing human knowledge. The level8 that Sea General caught was also smart and shrewd, but he had finally been able to catch it.
“Are you saying that the ocean would be easier if we had the proper equipment?”
“It’d be good to change the battlesuit to act in the ocean.”
This was the point. If they could just create the Albatrus, it’ll become the best weapon to attack with and hunting level 8s could be easy. Cha Jun Sung cannot sympathize because he used all his energy in killing Odelia and Narsiel.
“1000 people can enter a level B mission and 10,000 people can enter level A. What do you think would happen if these kinds of numbers of Lifers roamed above ground?”
Since they are big even after hiding their traces with the battlesuit, they would soon be found out by mutants.
Cha Jun Sung agreed.
This is right.
“But the Albatrus could move that many people secretly.”
There are more docile sea mutants than there are aggressive ones. A lot of them move in hordes because they haven’t been able to evolve past their animalistic habits, but it’s game over if they just torpedo it in the middle.
“I bought a submarine in the level B store and have been working in the Pacific Ocean. I worked on a boat in real life, did it for 10 years in the virtual version, and lived in the ocean for over 4 years in this place too.”
What he heard from Strategist is that the Albatrus is the top combat weapon. People with level A specifications would be able to catch level 8 mutants.
This would strengthen them to level S and once completely filled with Lifers, they might even be able to catch Sea God Levadan. A man needs to have a goal. Sea General wants to catch Sea God Levadan and quell the ocean.
He isn’t making an appeal for the Albatrus with personal ambition.
There’s no reason to only go through missions on land. If they just succeed in creating it, they could move their main stage to the ocean. Simply put, they can kill with the Albatrus instead of working themselves to the bones with battlesuits.
Cha Jun Sung listened and thought that something was missing.
He had listened to Strategist and Sea General’s impassioned speeches and enough of the explanations, but he doesn’t know why they have called him here.
“But why have you called for me?”
“I’ll be straightforward. Have you purchased anything from the level S store that could be used for the Albatrus?”
He doesn’t. Of course he doesn’t.
He plummeted when he lost his space compression bag. He’s still going crazy when he thinks about what a loss it is.
Cha Jun Sung told them the truth. It doesn’t make sense that he lost something so important, but what could he do? It’s the truth.
“What a pity. Then will you be able to help us in creating this?”
It seems they’re asking him to become an investor. What they want from him won’t be several millions of points. It’ll be in the billions at the least.
‘There isn’t really any item to buy.’
He doesn’t have anything to buy in the level A store since he hasn’t opened level S.
All he has left to do is to save up points for future use. If he wants to, he could help. The key is what benefit there would be to him.
“How much support do you need?”
“It’s 1 trillion. Rankers are 50 billion, cadres 20 billion.”
0.1% of 100 trillion.
It is a small portion overall, but thinking of all of the Lifers who will invest, one person will have to take on 1/1000.
“If you help us, we will put you in the level A advancement.”
“Advancement?”
Cha Jun Sung’s eyes grow wide. Level A advancement missions are extremely limited. There are only 50 level A missions, and there aren’t even 3 advancement missions.
High difficulty. Of those, there isn’t a mission related to the ocean.
