Chapter 303 - Changes 3

Chapter 303: Changes 3
Junhyuk’s attack was outstanding. He could make it certain with the Spatial Slash, but even without the Spatial Slash, he could deliver critical hits to a paralyzed opponent.
The Wolf Warlord’s neck was bleeding, but it wasn’t beheaded. Junhyuk stabbed the same spot again and twisted his sword to make it sink in deeper, and the Wolf Warlord started losing the focus of his eyes.
Boom!
The Wolf Warlord fell to the ground without any life left. Junhyuk watched it fall, panting. It had died and left a bloodstone, and Junhyuk picked it up.

This is it!

It was a bloodstone of unique quality, the highest possible quality, and it would fetch $100 million. Junhyuk picked it up and threw it to Sarang, who caught it with a surprised look, so he smiled at her.

You made larger contributions in killing it, so you keep it.


How much is this worth?


You can get $100 million for it.

Sarang calmly stared at the bloodstone. That little gem was worth $100 million, and she felt satisfied just by looking at it.
Junhyuk laughed.

Do you like it?


I’m falling in love with this bloodstone.

Junhyuk looked at the werewolf’s body. Up to that point, only B-ranked monsters had shown up, but now A-ranked monsters would start appearing. The problem was the Wolf Warlord’s size. He couldn’t put anything that tall inside his Spatial Bag with other things. To do it, there was only one option.

From now on, I’ll carry A-ranked monsters only.

He opened his Spatial Monster Bag. There was nothing in it yet, so he could always pick up the bodies around the training facility. It wouldn’t have been a bad idea to pick up bodies as diligently as monsters died, but he would normally fight a hundred enemies per day. In any case, he hadn’t placed anything in it yet.
Even if the bag had been filled, he wouldn’t have had a place to deliver those bodies at that exact time. He had the put the corpse of the Wolf Warlord inside of it. It was an A-ranked monster, and it would probably be useful in many different ways. He could sell it to Elise and make a fortune from it, but he didn’t want to do it yet. Junhyuk wanted to research it at his company first.
It would take some time to finish his lab, but he didn’t want to sell it to Elise so she wouldn’t be a step ahead of him. At that moment, his company was having a hard time catching up to her as it was.
Junhyuk waited a little longer, but no other monsters appeared.

They aren’t sending A-ranked monsters that often?

If they let A-ranked monsters loose on him, he would have no answer for them. If two monsters showed up, he would have a hard enough time staying alive. The Wolf Warlord had sensed his Spatial Slash and dodged the critical hit. If a monster like that showed up in a pair, he would not know how to deal with them.
Sarang stared at him and said,
We’ve been hunting B-ranked monster, but from now on, we’ll be hunting A-ranked monsters?

Junhyuk nodded heavily.

Our powers have increased, so B-ranked monsters can’t help us further. For us to become heroes, we’ll need to deal with A-ranked monsters.

A-ranked monsters couldn’t be dealt with alone, but while dealing with them, the two would evolve into heroes
He couldn’t kill an A-ranked monster by himself, and he didn’t know if A-ranked monsters would show while she wasn’t there or if they would only show when she was there.

Agenchra.

He was curious about the details and wanted to ask the manager, but Agenchra didn’t show up. As Junhyuk grimaced, Sarang said calmly,
Big brother, I need to go home now.


Right.

He grabbed her hand and said,
Exit.

They appeared in the bathroom, and as he walked out, he said,
Take a shower. I’ll take you home.


OK.

Sarang had gotten used to her routine inside the training facility. She showered quickly, and when she walked out, he went inside and did the same.

I’ll go out first,
he said.
Junhyuk teleported outside the house and waited a moment. Then, Sarang walked out and looked for him. She had gotten there alone, but now he would accompany her back.
After he took her home, he went to his company. He had put on his mask before arriving and heading into GST.
It was around ten at night, and almost everyone had gone home already. Junhyuk was greeted by a few security team members before he saw Sungtae, who was still living there with his friends, so they could meet anytime.
After greeting Sungtae, they both went to see Brita.

Has anything happened?


Nothing’s happened.

Junhyuk took a moment to think about the last weeding out and the surviving woman. Had she not made her decision yet?
He went into Brita’s lab and saw the completely dismantled iron soldier. There were numerous pieces and scattered parts, and Junhyuk thought there was no place for him to step on.
He walked carefully and saw Brita looking at something. She was looking inside the core of the iron soldier. There were many wires attached to it, and Brita was staring at it like a madwoman.
Junhyuk cleared his throat, but she did not respond, so he smiled bitterly and said,
Brita.

Brita heard him only then and turned her head to look at him.

You came!


I’m curious about your research.

Brita turned a monitor on, and her eyes beamed.

I knew Elise was a genius, but didn’t know how much of a genius she really was.

He looked at the screen, but he couldn’t understand anything. After he took the language pill, he could understand any language, but engineering jargon was a different matter altogether.
Brita explained a few things to him, but within five minutes, she realized that he wasn’t able to understand anything she had told him so far.

The mana stone appeared after the abnormal narcolepsy, and during the short time from then til now, she made this much progress! She is really excellent.


So, have you found out anything about the core?

Brita nodded.

If I can process the mana stone right now, I can make a better core than this one.


Is that possible?

She hadn’t had much time, so how was that possible? Brita smiled at him.

It’s because of the mana stone we have now.


What about the mana stone?


To extract the necessary results from the mana stone, we need more time to research it. I can’t do it alone. However, we are in the possession of a mana stone many times larger than the one inside the iron soldier.


Is that right?

The world required more iron soldiers than there were mana stones, so they had spliced the mana stones into small pieces to use them. However, GST was different. It had a continuous supply of mana stones, so it could work with them whole.
Brita continued,
So, I am planning on making a new core.


That’s that for the core,
Junhyuk said and looked at the iron soldier parts on the ground.
What about weapons that depend on the core?


I have to finish research on the core first, so I’m not there yet.


If the core’s output increases, then the weapons will also increase in power. You should research that as well.

Brita’s eyes beamed.

You’ll soon see big results.

Junhyuk nodded and compliment her on her work. Then, he walked out of the lab, and Brita went back to what she was doing. He did not need to pressure her in any way.
As he walked with Sungtae, he asked,
Have you purchased the new building yet?


Yes. Right now, it is undergoing massive construction for Tirot’s lab.


How much money do you need?


I told Brian to look into it. To start on Tirot’s lab, we’ll need $300 million.

The building had cost $500 million, but the lab itself cost $300 million. It was an astronomical amount of money, but Junhyuk wasn’t worried. Back at the training facility, he had just fought an A-ranked monster that left behind a $100 million bloodstone. He would be able to earn a lot more now.
Junhyuk walked with Sungtae toward the building under construction that would house Tirot’s lab. Inside, they met Tirot, who was looking at blueprints.
He smiled at them both.

You came!

Junhyuk nodded and stood next to Tirot to look at the blueprints.

How big do you think a monster is?
he asked.

About five meters.


Consider ten meters.

Ten meters was about the height of a four-story building. A tall monster like that also meant that it was of an impressive quality.

So as not to put pressure on the building itself, you’ll have to build the lab underground.


I will, and the containment room has to be larger.

Junhyuk gave Tirot some advice on how to improve his lab. He didn’t know anything about biology, but he had dealt with monsters before and he knew a lot about them.
Tirot listened to his advice and asked,
Is it possible to get a live monster?


No. Don’t be reckless.

Live monsters couldn’t go inside the Spatial Bag, and considering how dangerous monsters were, Junhyuk had to kill them first.
Tirot nodded in agreement, and Junhyuk paid Tirot some compliments and left.
He and Sungtae walked over to a building they had purchased under Max’s name. It would be the building for housing the novices.
Junhyuk went inside and looked around. Sungtae had paid close attention to this building, and construction was already underway.

Does it have boarding capacity?


Yes, but novices have powers beyond the laws of physics, so I’m not sure what will help them.


Are you building an underground training facility?


So as to not damage the building itself, that is the best option.

Junhyuk nodded. His own training facility was located underground. He looked around inside the building.

We’ll get a novice soon, so finish up the construction as soon as possible.


Sure.


This place will become a heaven for novices. Make sure not just anyone can enter. Put a code on the door.


Yes, I will tell the security team.


I want to control everyone’s access here through Ganesha.


That’s possible.

Junhyuk went to the roof of the building and looked around. They were three buildings in the center of the city. They were not the tallest buildings, but the researchers in that place would become the driving force of the world.
A-ranked monsters had appeared, and he was training more. Now, he wanted to make progress within South Korea as well.
Junhyuk raised his head toward the sky.
The Dimensional Battlefield’s managers had weeded some of the novices out. He didn’t know how many had survived and activated another power, but more people were activating powers now than ever before.

I will be the first.

He wanted to become a hero and challenge himself to become a legend. He made that pledge to himself with clenched fists.
