Auto Hunting With My Clones - Chapter 67
< Heritage (2) >
New York, USA.
Heritage’s head office was located there, an economic mecca.
Hundreds of high-rise buildings were lined up and many people came and went. Sang-woo stuck out his tongue.
“Hey… I’m totally in trouble here.”
“Because it is the center of the world economy and the hunter society. Come on in.”
Following Park Won-tae’s guidance, Sang-woo, Kang Jun-mo and others entered the headquarters building.
After passing through the spacious hall, I inquired at the information desk. After a while, the information staff guided me to the elevator.
The elevator did not have a number, but I arrived at the top of the 170th floor in an instant even though I did not press something separately to activate it.
Squeak-
The elevator door opens very softly.
It was a very large office.
Neat furniture was arranged in a modern design, but there was only one desk.
‘Is this an office that I use alone?’
Then someone stood up from behind the desk.
“welcome.”
An alluring voice spread through the office.
At the same time, Sangwoo felt his eyes brighten.
Blond straight hair that sparkled like it was made of gold thread.
Skin as white as white jade.
A straight height and a face the size of a fist.
It was because a woman who looked like she had jumped out of a game illustration was walking towards me wearing a pants suit.
‘… goddess…?’
That’s what I was thinking.
It was so beautiful that I was speechless.
The woman came up to the group and stood at the front.
“Who is Park Won-tae?”
“I am Park Won-tae.”
Park Won-tae, who was standing in the front, answered.
Upon hearing that, she held out her hand to Park Won-tae.
“You have worked hard to come a long way. This is Arya Berschael.”
Arya Berschael.
As one of the co-presidents of Heritage, along with Dubert Heritage, he had never been seen before.
The media always paid attention to her, but she was a person whose identity was unknown.
Park Won-tae was also a little surprised, but soon smiled and held Aria’s hand tightly.
“Nice to meet you. This is Park Won-tae.”
“Yes, please sit over here.”
Guided by Arya, they sat down on a sofa located on one side of the office.
“I have heard a lot about Mr. Berschael. I didn’t know because she didn’t show herself to the media, but I didn’t know she was such a beauty.
Prior to the full-blown talk, Park Won-tae gave a good-natured compliment.
Arya smiled and replied.
“I have my private life and I am tired. Rather, I want to talk about work.”
After catching her wanting to talk about work rather than talking about something else, Park Won-tae hurriedly accepted the conversation. “Yes you are. Actually, that is the purpose.”
“yes. Then, who will be using it here?”
Arya looked around at Sangwoo and the others and talked.
Even that look was like a pictorial.
“That’s me.”
Sang-woo spoke carefully in Korean.
Everyone was talking in English, but there was no problem with communication because of the smart goggles.
However, Sang-woo himself was a bit regretful.
‘Oh, I should study English too.’
I feel like I’m inferior to other people for no reason.
‘I’ll have to look for something like language skills next time.’
I don’t know if there is such a thing.
While thinking about this and that, Arya asked Sang-woo a question.
“yes. hello. I heard about it through the client side. I’m talking about sending an alter ego to Odin’s Tower to open the sub-space and opening the sub-space outside the Odin’s Tower. I think it’s an idea that’s quite possible. But I don’t understand what an alter ego is.”
“The alter ego is the ability to summon another body that looks just like me.”
“Then, the key is how much ability the alter ego has and how far it can be used. We need to check whether the subspace is shared between the alter ego and the main body. Then, I think you should look at the user to see what an alter ego is like and create a custom skill. First of all , let’s check if it is possible to create through an alter ego .
If it is possible to create a skill, then I will help you proceed with the contract.”
Arya explained the progress of the work step by step.
Everyone in Sangwoo’s party nodded.
“Yes, you do. So, do you need a test?”
“yes. Since the subspace skill is a very high-level skill, I and CEO Dubert will directly check the test progress. Shall we start right away?”
“yep.”
“great. Please move to the basement production room without delay.”
When Arya stood up, Sang-woo and the others followed suit.
They took the elevator and went straight down to the basement.
It was different from a normal elevator, so I was able to move in an instant
.
When I arrived at the basement, it was full of hot heat.
Chiiik-
The hot molten iron flowed and steamed out.
The steam and smoke from the fire were thick, so the entire underground production room was foggy and visibility was limited.
Then Arya snapped her hands.
Just-
at the same time, the wind rose and all the smoke in the production room was sucked into one place.
Hui-i-
i- Only then did the production room become clear.
It was a very large space, much larger than Arya’s office and with a high ceiling.
‘How many floors did it combine?’
In the middle of such a production room, there was equipment that looked like a gigantic furnace, and machines and robots were all around it.
Numerous people were manipulating the machines and robots were busily carrying parts.
“Mister Dubert is over there. Please follow me.”
Following Aria’s guidance, we moved to one of the production rooms.
There, a man was hard at work assembling something.
The man was very large, with forearms the size of a man’s torso.
From the shaggy beard to the bald bald head.
However, contrary to such a ragged appearance, he was extremely focused on assembling while wearing mechanical glasses that looked like microscopes.
Maybe that’s why he didn’t even look at Sang-woo’s group as they approached. “Mr. Dubert.”
Aria called a man named Duber.
The man didn’t even flinch.
Arya screamed.
“Mr. Dubert!”
However, the man did not even look back.
Arya sighed.
“If you concentrate, it’s like that. It’s stubborn… so I guess I’ll have to wait a bit.”
After waiting for about 20 minutes like a folding screen, Deubert finally stretched out and looked around as if he had finished assembling.
“Finally it’s over. hmm? Aria, what is it?”
“Hey, Mr. Dubert, did you forget today’s schedule? You were supposed to meet clients from Korea.”
Aria rebuked Duvert.
Deubert then laughed awkwardly, brushing his beard down.
“Haha, look at my mind. Welcome. I am Duver.”
Dubert held out a large hand.
He was as tall as Sang-woo, but his forearms were so big that his hands looked like lids for a pot.
It was a bit annoying waiting, but the party laughed and held hands without showing off.
While holding hands and shaking hands one by one.
After shaking hands with Sang-woo, Duvert glanced at Sang-woo.
Seeing Duvert suddenly holding his hand and not letting go, Sang-woo thought it was a joke.
‘You’re a playful uncle.’
Sangwoo smiled.
However, Dubert continued to stare at Sang-woo.
Sang-woo tries to pull his hand out of awkwardness because he was holding on to him for too long.
But Dubert’s hand didn’t feel like dropping.
‘No, what is this man doing?’
Sang-woo tried to pull his hand away with force, but he wouldn’t budge.
It was an enormous evil.
Even Sang-woo, who reached 27, couldn’t help it.
Seeing this, Arya sighed deeply.
“Huh… There it is again.”
Despite the sighs, Duvert, who had been carefully looking into Sang-woo’s face, opened his mouth.
“You have a nice body.”
“… yes?”
Do you have a good body?
It was when Sang-woo was confused.
Duver’s words continued.
“Very dense and hard skin. However, it is not a body that is likely to break due to its high hardness. Is it because of this elasticity?”
Duvert crossed Sang-woo’s hand and touched his forearm.
“Amazing, amazing. That’s great. No metal can reproduce this property. If it’s about Orichalcon, it’s possible… Have you achieved a metal body by any chance?”
Dubert asked.
‘Metal body? Are you talking about Geumgang Buddha?’
Sang-woo answered with his eyes.
“I don’t know about the metal body, but I did get the Geumgang Buddha.” At those words, Park Won-tae and other Kenus guild members murmured.
“Geumgang Bulgogi? Isn’t that a legend?”
“Is it a hard-skinned version?”
In the midst of such a buzz, Dubert nodded quietly.
“Geumgang Bulgogi… It seems that the metal body fits.”
He was genuinely in admiration.
‘It’s the best body I’ve seen in a long time. With a body like this…’
Numerous designs of equipment suitable for Sang-woo’s body flashed through Duver’s mind.
Creativity has soared.
“Doesn’t your clothes often get torn during battle? My body is fine, though.”
“yes that’s right.”
If you look at the recent alter egos, the suits are all torn and there are many cases where the body is fine.
Sang-woo was a bit surprised by Duvert’s discernment for accurately catching that point.
“Then you will need a suit made of shape-memory regenerative fiber. By adding a weight reduction magic and an auto pull-on function to it…”
Deubert opened his smart goggles, opened the hologram keyboard, and began to record something diligently.
Then Arya screamed.
“Mr. Dubert!!!”
Everyone stared at her because it was quite loud.
It was the same with Dubert.
Her cheeks flushed red, she coughed and called Dubert again.
“Let’s do that later and test… test first.”
“Oh yes. okay Now then, let’s move.”
That’s how they barely got to the test.
They arrived at a quiet and spacious training ground-like space rather than a crowded production room.
“Now let’s proceed with the test. Summon your alter ego first.”
At those words, Sang-woo hesitated.
‘If I summon him now, I can only copy his pants.’
It was possible to summon it, but since it was casual clothes, the upper body would be exposed if the pants were copied.
No matter how good his body was, he was reluctant to venture into such exposure in a crowded place.
“Well, it’s difficult to summon right now, would you pass on the people? The alter ego was summoned naked.”
At those words, Durod nodded as if he understood.
“It seems that the equipment you are wearing cannot be copied. OK.”
“yes. And, by any chance, do you have any clothes that I can dress up as an alter ego?”
“I’ll get you a suit.”
He took out something that looked like a belt from one side of the test room.
“This is one of the powered suits, a prototype I made for testing. I was testing it for a while, but it has an auto pull-on function, so if you wear it for a short time, it will be fine. You can use it by pressing the button here.”
“Oh yes. thank you.”
“The dressing room is over there.”
Sang-woo entered the dressing room alone.
I was just going to summon an alter ego and put on a suit, but suddenly I changed my mind.
‘This suit looks good, doesn’t it?’ If it is an auto pull-on, it is an automatic wear function.
Sang-woo had only heard about it, but it was the first time he had seen a suit with such a built-in function.
It was such a state-of-the-art feature.
‘I’ll have to try it myself.’
I’ve never used the auto pull-on feature before, so I wanted to try it.
Sang-woo wore a suit that looked like a belt around his waist.
Then I pressed the button on the part that looked like a buckle.
Then,
with a whirlwind,
fibers spurted out of the belt and wrapped around Sang-woo’s body, who was already wearing clothes.
Then, in an instant, it took the shape of a suit.
“Wow, that’s really good.”
Sang-woo admired it and summoned the alter ego as it was while wearing the suit.
Then, alter ego #9 appeared in a powered suit.
‘I’ll have to buy this right away.’
Sang-woo decided to buy a powered suit right away.
With this, I could summon my alter ego at any time.
He took off the suit he had been wearing and left the changing room with No. 9.
Aria and Duvert’s eyes widened when they saw Sang-woo and his alter ego.
“Is that your alter ego?”
“They really look exactly the same.”
two admiring people.
The other party seemed to think so because they often saw alter egos.
Sang-woo returned the unlocked powered suit to Duvert.
“hmm? Isn’t this a powered suit?”
“yes. Did you copy one and put it on your alter ego?”
“what? Duplicate? Duplicate the equipment?”
“yes.”
Upon hearing that, Dubert’s pupils shook greatly.
