Chapter 255 (1/2)

Cha Jun Sung is frustrated.

It’s right in front of him, but he can’t do anything. He can’t even force his way in because his entry itself is blocked.

He can go into level B, but there’s no point. He has more than enough points. This is the same as taking away his qualifications as a Lifer. The only comfort he has is that he can go into the store.

“I can’t even help the World Federation.”

He had promised to buy them level S parts after increasing Albatrus’ distribution ratio and gathering points, but he can no longer keep that promise.

Cha Jun Sung told the World Federation and Park Jin Hyuk’s group about his situation.

He didn’t go into details. He said that he had gotten into a conflict of opinions with the supervisors, who are higher than the helpers, and his entry into missions had been blocked in the aftermath.

They all had expressions of disbelief, but he really had been blocked. Albatrus remained at level A state with Cha Jun Sung’s declaration, and World Federation discussed two plans for future moves.

Are they going to take Albatrus to explore the sea and go through a slow level A mission? Or are they going to neatly give it up and go into a normal level A mission?

This is what World Federation is currently debating. Park Jin Hyuk’s group will follow in whichever direction they decide on. This is something that Cha Jun Sung is sorry about. Maybe because he has a secret that he has kept from them ever since he became a mutant, but the number of missions he entered with his friends had decreased sharply.

He thought that he might be able to relax a little since he had gotten all of the annoying things out of the way, but now he can’t go into missions with them even if he wants to.

Park Jin Hyuk’s group said that it was okay, but it was obvious that they thought it a pity. Cha Jun Sung isn’t at ease either. This isn’t just a pause.

It’s a permanent stop. He needs to be like this until Life Mission is over.

“This really feels like shit.”

What is all of this?

Where is he supposed to use all of this uncontrollable energy?

Does he have to live hundreds or thousands of years masked as a human?

He’ll easily live hundreds of years with a level 9 body.

He’ll remain alive after everyone he knows dies?

Just the thought of it is horrible.

He doesn’t want to live that long. Though Lifers have been created on modern Earth through Life Mission, the Earth itself is a peaceful place. It isn’t a place where he can run around as a mutant.

“Damn.”

Cha Jun Sung calms his rage. He doesn’t see a solution.

Does he just have to pass time like this?

He wished someone would tell him what to do.

“Then we’ll try that and if it doesn’t work, we can try plan B.”

Hundreds are gathered in a large conference hall that was built circular so that everyone could face each other. They are all World Federation Lifers.

Rankers, Park Jin Hyuk’s group, and masters of large guilds are also in attendance. They are deciding on the second level A mission they will go into.

After a careful debate, two paths formed. There were conflicting opinions, so they used majority rule to decide on plan A and plan B.

This is because it is a difficulty in which the entire 10,000-person group could be annihilated.

Strategist didn’t pay attention to big or small voices. He took into account every single person’s opinion.

“How boring.”

“Sh.”

Park Jin Hyuk yawns and Koharo chides him.

She knows it is boring too, but it isn’t good to be distracted from the mood.

“So first is PDA entry.”

Park Jin Hyuk said that it is boring, but he had listened to the entire meeting. Plan A is a normal level A mission. Plan B is exploring with Albatrus. Finding a level 8 in the ocean is like looking for a needle in a haystack. They never ran into one while completing Deep Sea Teeth.

Though they did see a level 9.

The majority of Rankers voted for a normal level A mission over searching the sea. Park Jin Hyuk’s group’s 5 votes were also among those.

There are more than 20 level A Lifers who can fight with level 7s. Their main thought is that they can take on a weak level 8.

Level B and C Lifers will take on all of the mutants below level 8. This is a win with numbers. They will go into the mission with the lowest points, a 1.2 billion point mission.

“Basil, you did good.”

“Hm.”

Basil gives a sheepish look.

There had only been about 50 level A missions.
