Regressing with the King’s Power - Chapter 136
Episode 136
It didn’t take long for Ricky Hallis and Association President Zhengz to write a contract.
The condition was that U.S. economic sanctions be lifted in return for China allowing access to classified data from the Guangzhou laboratory.
Ricky Harlis signed the contract with the title of national power player and with the authority to represent Association President Kevin Lee.
As they were throwing it out, they even made an Awakened Pact, which was also filmed for later.
This was a measure based on rumors that her skill could also cancel the ‘Awakened Oath’.
“Then, let’s take a closer look at our lab.”
Chairman Zheng Zhi took the lead and said.
The main laboratory was not far away.
“Welcome, Chairman of the Association.”
“How are you?”
Chairman Zheng Zhi waved his hand while being inspected by the institute staff.
Ricky Harlis followed behind her and Taehyun followed behind her.
“After all, it’s China. “With researchers of this size in a place like this… they’re probably creating a secret weapon, right?”
Ricky Harlis said it jokingly, but Taehyun knew what she said was true.
An experiment using monsters living in the Guangzhou dungeon.
This is because the so-called demonization project was a fairly famous event in his past life.
‘It was revealed after Ricky Harlis went missing. The experiment must have been in progress by now.’
Taehyun glanced at her.
Even though he told me about the experiments going on here.
She had a blank expression on her face, as if she didn’t know anything.
“Hehe. “That’s an interesting guess.”
“I hope it’s just a guess.”
Ricky Harlis said with a grin.
“It’s a secret weapon… although it’s still too early to say that. “There is something I want to show you.”
“Wow, I’m looking forward to it?”
“Follow me.”
After a while.
The place the three arrived was a huge laboratory.
Hundreds of test tubes were listed.
People were inside the test tube, and more researchers were busy conducting the experiment.
“….”
“….”
Although the two people had already expected it to some extent, they couldn’t help but look surprised.
This is because I had no idea that the experiment was being conducted so blatantly.
“It’s a skill enhancement experiment. Would you like to take a look?”
Ricky Hallis nodded silently at Chairman Jeong’s words.
He smiled and gestured as if he knew that would happen.
“Go ahead.”
“yes.”
When the person in charge who was guiding Association President Zheng Zhi gave instructions, the equipment in the test tube was activated.
Grayish magical power was injected into the test tube.
“Magic injection…”
Ricky Harlis watched the experiment with a stern expression.
The body of the man infused with magical power began to tremble.
“Subject B-102’s heart rate is rising rapidly.”
“Subject B-102’s physical strength is increasing rapidly.”
“Subject B-102’s horsepower is increasing rapidly.”
“Inject more.”
At the command of the person in charge, more magical power seeped into the experimenter’s body.
Grumble. Slurp slurp.
The more magical power was injected, the more the air in the laboratory became thicker.
gulp.
Ricky Harlis swallowed.
Just 1 minute.
An unusual magical power was felt in the body of a man injected with gray magical energy.
‘Is this… the energy of a high-level monster?’
I even thought about that for a moment.
The person in charge who checked the chart posted a report.
“President of the Association. “It is a success.”
“Hoo. “The success rate is increasing.”
“It’s all thanks to the support of the association president.”
Chairman Zhengzhi nodded with a satisfied expression.
“Hey. “What kind of experiment is this?”
Ricky Harlis asked as if he had been waiting.
Strengthening your body.
Or strengthening skills.
This is not surprising as all the great powers are doing it in secret.
but.
‘Injecting this kind of magical energy into humans? And success?’
This is my first time experiencing an experiment this uncomfortable. I couldn’t help but ask.
Chairman Zhengzhi smiled brightly at her.
“You know it well, don’t you? It’s just a simple skill enhancement experiment. “I just watched a new S-rank player being born in the game.”
‘That’s great technology.’
Clearly, the magical power felt from the man just before the experiment was conducted was around grade B.
However, the magic power I feel right now is low grade S.
Although Taehyun encountered a fake S-class demon and an awakened person in a friendly match.
I couldn’t help but be surprised by the process of growing from B grade to S grade in an instant.
It was the same with Ricky Harlis.
“It was a plausible excuse. That gray magic. “Isn’t it from a monster?”
“Hoo. “As expected, you have a good sense of vision.”
“You crossed the line. you.”
Ricky Harlis spoke his true feelings.
Injects the magical power of monsters into humans.
It’s not a matter of technology.
It was something no sane person could have done.
But no one here seemed to care.
Only then did she realize that this experiment had been going on for a long time.
At least hundreds to thousands of people.
No, if you look at the period in which the Guangzhou laboratory was operated, there must have been 10,000 experiments.
‘Dangerous.’
While the awakened person’s level was absolute, the standards for player level differed from country to country.
However, on average, when one of the physical stats exceeds 100, the skill is evaluated as suitable for an S-class player.
Even if you strengthen your skills or strengthen your body, the probability of success is not high.
Moreover, two-stage growth is an extremely rare case.
But what if it was possible to boost stats in this way without risk?
‘It’s only a matter of time before the world’s power balance collapses.’
She felt like she knew where Chairman Jeong’s confidence came from.
“You look more surprised than I thought. Don’t worry. “Because it is magical power that has been refined to the point that the human body can accept it.”
“What kind of monster’s magic power is this?”
Although I instinctively asked that question.
She thought that Chairman Zhengzhi would not answer.
Even if only what you have seen is known to the world.
‘China’s external image will continue to decline.’
However, Chairman Jeong Zhi reacted as if it was no big deal.
“okay. I signed the contract, so I should tell you. Venom of gray disease. “It is a refining of the magical power of SS-class monsters.”
“…!!”
“….”
Ricky Hallis once again showed an expression of disbelief, and Taehyun silently kept his mouth shut.
That’s because I’ve never even thought that the magic power of an SS-class monster could have been injected into a human.
“Didn’t I tell you earlier? “I’ll show you Venom.”
“How did you attack it?”
“SS-rank monster. “It was definitely not an easy opponent.”
Chairman Jeong Zhi burst out laughing as if he was remembering that time.
“We are not all people of this world now. We deployed three national power players. “I even had to wait extra in case of failure.”
Taehyeon knew that they were Zhang Linfeng, Tsai Mingmin, and Xu Xin.
China’s top forces would have been alive by now if it weren’t for them.
‘Did they really catch Venom with just those guys?’
If that were the case, there would be no reason for this place to remain an unexplored dungeon.
When Taehyun had that question.
Beep-beep-beep-
The sound of an emergency rang out in the lab.
The muscles of the man in the test tube were bulging.
“Subject B-102’s magical power begins to run wild.”
“The horsepower level exceeds 110.”
“My strength and stamina levels are dropping.”
“Subject B-102’s physical structure is collapsing.”
The person in charge approached me with an expression of embarrassment due to the unusual atmosphere.
“Forced demonization is in progress. “Currently, it has progressed to 10% or even 20%.”
“this. “It seems to be defective.”
It doesn’t seem like something I’ve experienced once or twice.
Chairman Jeong Zhi reacted indifferently.
“What will happen if I leave it like that?”
Ricky Harlis asked impatiently.
“The transformation into a monster is in progress. Wouldn’t it turn into a monster?”
“You’re crazy! “Stop it now!!”
She shouted, not hiding her hostility.
Chairman Zheng Zhi smiled bitterly.
“Why are you so surprised? “Isn’t there a trend of competition in reinforcement experiments anyway?”
“To justify experimentation on living organisms….”
“There is no magic power as pure as the magic power possessed by monsters. Even more so with the refined magic power of SS-class monsters.”
Chairman Zhengzhi, who interrupted her, snapped his fingers and said.
It’s not wrong.
The bodies of monsters that have adapted to the Abyss contain magical power that cannot be compared to that of humans.
That was the reason why the corpses of monsters were traded at high prices.
But no matter how much it is for strengthening, injecting something from a monster into a human body.
It was certain that if this fact became known, it would be criticized by world public opinion.
Chairman Jeong Zhi also knows this, so he is doing it in secret.
“Why are you showing me this?”
Ricky Harlis, who finally regained his senses, asked back.
Chairman Zheng Zhi took out a cigarette, bit on it, and gestured to the person in charge.
The lever was pulled and magic power was activated in the test tube.
The body of experiment B-102, which was gradually losing its human appearance, began to be crushed.
Crack. Quad deuk. Quad deuk.
It was an instant.
The body of test subject B-102, which had reached S rank, was crushed.
It was a meaningless death.
“Let’s join hands with our great country. China and America. “Even if these huge countries keep each other in check, it won’t be helpful to the development of human history.”
“….”
When Ricky Hallis could not say anything, President Zhengzhi spoke again.
“China has the largest population in Asia and is equipped with such cutting-edge technology. japan? New Korea? Tsk tsk. Those two countries are not enough as partners for a major power. There is a saying that a bird gets its crotch ripped while trying to follow a stork. Japan destroyed itself, and the new Korea will eventually follow Japan’s path. What is it like? “Wouldn’t you be good at persuading Association President Kevin Lee?”
It showed how great China’s technological capabilities are.
As he said, if the United States and China join hands, humanity will develop at a tremendous speed.
Ricky Harlis closed his mouth as if thinking for a moment.
and.
The answer was fixed.
Even before I came here.
“It is a refusal.”
“Surprisingly. “I thought you were a smart girl.”
“It’s true that he’s smart. After seeing this experiment, it becomes clear. “China won’t last long.”
“Hoo. “Then what are you going to do with the pledge you made a while ago?”
Chairman Zheng Zhi’s eyes narrowed.
Ricky Harlis took out a paper contract from his pocket.
and.
Wow.
It was torn apart without mercy.
“It’s a breach. Oh, don’t worry about the Awakened Oath. “I will cancel it myself.”
Ricky Harlis said, throwing the torn contract on the floor.
