Regressing with the King’s Power - Chapter 75

Episode 75:

Crackling. Cheezy.

The sound of adjusting the frequency once again.

and.

[Kim Tae-hyun. Can you hear me?]

Ayoung’s clear voice was heard from the earrings.

“I can hear you well. “I heard you were later than expected?”

Ayoung was speechless for a moment as Taehyun said that he had been waiting.

According to the competition rules, the earrings of friendly match participants are blocked except for fixed frequencies.

In order to contact Taehyun directly, Ayoung had to hack her earrings and connect a new frequency.

It took only an hour to hack the earrings used in friendly matches for Asian players.

If the friendly match organizing association found out about this, they would be upset.

Taehyun reacted as if it was a natural thing to do.

[Whoa… I guess they were targeting you as expected.]

Ayoung sighed, convinced that her thoughts were correct.

“Officially, New Korea’s strategy is centered around hunting monsters.”

[I won’t ask you what you plan to do. Let’s talk about that later.]

“I agree.”

[First of all, there are concerns about wiretapping, so I will pass on the information here. Current location?]

“Busan.”

[Then, take the warp gate from the Busan branch of Night Walker and go to Fukuoka. If you need anything, you can take it with you.]

“What is the target?”

[It’s a grade A demon gnat. He is mainly involved in smuggling in New Korea and Japan.]

Gnat.

He had an insect-like appearance and was notorious for cannibalizing both men and women.

Although he leads a small to medium-sized organization, behind it all, he is connected to some of the biggest names in Japan and New Korea.

‘I never heard of him being caught in my previous life.’

It wasn’t a bad idea to make it a first goal.

“All right. “What is the number?”

[About 50 people in the hideout. There are quite a few, but they probably won’t be that great to you.]

“Thank you. “Let’s get moving right now.”

[Should we also inform the president of the association and other representatives?]

Even though Ayoung arbitrarily chose to connect with Taehyeon, it was Ji Jin-hee, the president of the association, who represented New Korea.

Of course, the information had to be exchanged through Ji Jin-hee, but the reason I asked was out of curiosity.

And Taehyun was a man who suited that ‘just in case’ thought.

“no. “I would like you to put that on hold for a while.”

[Why?]

Ayoung asked, feeling her interest pique.

Everything Taehyun does is beyond common sense.

‘Apocalito’, the first double dungeon, ‘Temple of the Phoenix’, where the Grand Phoenix appeared, and ‘Labyrinth Minotaros’, which no one has been able to conquer before.

So it was natural for me to become interested as a player.

“The same goes for Onsaemiro. “Didn’t you also see the case of Wan Chai?”

[Is there a high possibility that Mine is hiding in the Association?]

“I’m not sure. But there’s no harm in doubting.”

[Hmm… okay. So?]

“So, I would like to ask you a favor.”

Taehyun took the bait and told Ayoung the favor he had in mind all along.

[You… do you know what I’m saying right now?]

“I guess the guild leader hacked the earrings with that in mind anyway, right?”

[….]

“Is it possible?”

Taehyun asked Ayeong again, who was worried.

There aren’t many options for her to choose from.

From the moment Taehyun contacted me, it was as if I had already taken the bait.

‘It must be an offer she can’t refuse as she is the association president’s closest associate.’

After a while, Ayoung gathered her thoughts and opened her mouth.

[It’s probably possible… but not for free?]

“I think we’ve done enough to promote the guild.”

Taehyun said playfully.

As soon as the friendly match started, Alchemist and Night Walker were mentioned in front of numerous cameras.

Information about Mine Wan Chai that no one knew about and the specially made potion Gondre Mandre.

There couldn’t be a more perfect promotion than this for the two guilds that are recently trying to expand their territory into the world.

[joy. That’s it. After the friendly match, let’s eat together.]

Ayoung, who knew that fact better than anyone else, grumbled.

He knows that he is not in a position to refuse Taehyun’s request.

“great. “After the friendly match, we will set aside some time.”

[You are a really interesting guy. Then, I will contact you again as soon as I receive information.]

Ji Ji-jik.

The signal from the earrings was cut off and returned to its original frequency.

At the same time, a voice message arrived through Taehyun’s earrings.

[A voice message has arrived from ‘Peaceless Beauty’. For security reasons, it will only be played once and cannot be recorded. Would you like to play it?]

“….”

Taehyun was speechless for a moment.

When the voice message was played, information about the location of the Mine Gnat and the expected skills of the hideout began to flow.

[Playback has ended. Automatically deletes voice messages. Deletion has been completed.]

“Fukuoka… It’s been a while.”

After entering the rough information in his head, Taehyun walked towards the Night Walker Busan branch.

The Asian player friendly competition has only just begun.

* * *

Beijing, China.

An hour had passed since the Asian player friendly match began.

Tsai Mingmin, China’s national power player, was trampling on a man in an alley.

“You damn guy. “He ran away like a rat.”

“Please save me.”

Tsai Mingmin’s kick caused the S-class demon to beg for his life.

“Shut up. “If only you had been caught a little sooner… Sheesh!”

Tsai Mingmin spat at Mine as if he couldn’t get over his anger.

It was an S-class mine secretly captured in China some time ago. The bounty is 50 billion won.

Although the amount was higher than his ability, the government did not care.

No, if it weren’t for the attention of other countries, it wouldn’t have been surprising if they had bet 100 billion.

“shit. “I’m going to hear something from the president of the association.”

Tsai Mingmin cursed and put force on his feet, causing Mine’s ribs to break.

He was secretly captured about a month ago and released again two days before the friendly match began.

The purpose was to win the first point and lead the game in the leading group.

However, that plan was foiled by a guy named Kim Tae-hyun as soon as the friendly match started.

“You son of a bitch!!”

Coogugung.

As Tsai Mingmin excitedly unleashed his magic power, Mine let out a painful scream.

It was a place famous for having more people than any other place in the world, but no one heard Myne’s screams.

This was because Tsai Mingmin’s skill ‘Silent World’ was being activated.

“How dare you run away from me? “You must have taken that action with the cost in mind as well, right?”

“Huh… save my life…”

Tsai Ming-min took out a dagger from his pocket as if there was nothing more to hear.

There is no need to keep the demon alive to capture it.

The forensics team will confirm your identity anyway.

After a while.

Tsai Mingmin, covered in blood, unlocked the skill.

The cold corpses of demons were scattered on the floor.

[Chaimingmin. You have found your next prey. I’ll send you the location now.]

Information about a new S-class mine came through his earrings.

Just like the guy in front of me, he was secretly captured and released.

Tsai Mingmin stood up and rearranged the sword in his arms.

Even though I chopped up a mine, the dirty feeling did not subside.

Crack.

“New Korea… and Kim Tae-hyun. “It’s annoying.”

Tsai Mingmin left the alley, roughly wiping the blood off his body.

Then, a Chinese broadcast camera that had been waiting in advance captured Tsai Ming-min’s appearance.

Chinese people passing by saw Tsai Mingmin’s face and began to cheer.

Tsai Mingmin’s face, which had been like a demon, instantly turned gentle.

‘Troublesome guys. ‘I want to kill them all.’

Tsai Mingmin quickly moved his body while hiding his true feelings.

It was a mess from the first button.

In the end, the championship would go to China.

‘Anyone who stands in the way of the Great Power will only be killed.’

An evil smile appeared on his face as he moved towards his next target.

* * *

Seoul, New Korea.

Reporter Kim, who was watching real-time popular searches at a cafe, whistled.

Asian player friendly competition for 1st to 30th places.

More than half of them were keywords related to Taehyun.

“What a star.”

Reporter Kim sipped coffee and checked his phone.

It was time for Taehyun to give a hint in advance.

However, there has been no contact yet.

‘It’s definitely not a joke, right?’

Reporter Kim, who was suspicious of Taehyun for a moment, soon shook his head.

A man named Kim Tae-hyun.

Because I know he never speaks lightly.

Reporter Kim focused on the article he was writing again.

Currently, he was writing an article about the lives of the new Korean national team as a special feature on friendly matches.

In particular, I was very interested in the person named Kim Tae-hyeon, so I collected data more actively.

New Korea’s twelfth S-rank player.

New Korea’s youngest S-rank player.

Even a simple modifier was enough to surprise me.

The more I learned about the life of Kim Tae-hyun, the more surprising it was.

The potential level is unknown, but the child, who was non-awakened until recently, has belatedly awakened.

The awakening level is estimated to be E~D, and the exact skill name is unknown.

Possesses multiple skills, the exact number is unknown.

Since it was not measured even by the highest level awakened people, only Taehyun himself would know what skills he had.

One thing is certain: he is one of the world’s leading growth-oriented awakeners.

‘I can’t believe this kid contacted me first.’

Reporter Kim recalled that meeting for a moment and exhaled.

A few days before the friendly match starts.

After receiving a call from Taehyeon, he visited the Alchemist Guild and signed a contract.

In order to fulfill the contract, reporter Kim resigned from the company from that day.

He did not pay attention to the boss’s words that if he quit his job in this way, no severance pay would be paid.

A vicious manager who has been taking care of everything he wants and not even paying him proper wages.

‘Become a real journalist. ‘You have what it takes to do that.’

An S-rank player who recognizes himself.

There was no need to worry about which of the two to choose.

‘no way. I never thought that day’s meeting would grow into something like this… Is this why it is said that the history of life is Saeongjima?’

While reporter Kim was lost in thoughts about the past, an email arrived.

‘…!!’

Reporter Kim’s eyes opened wide as he checked the email.

At the same time, his skill ‘Typing’ was activated.

The hands started moving quickly.

‘This has been a huge hit since the first article.’

Reporter Kim Tae-hyun, who became a dedicated journalist, grew hot on his face.

* * *

Fukuoka, Japan.

Taehyun’s new brother, wearing sunglasses, was moving quickly to the place Ayoung mentioned.

Bonus points were earned from the start.

Thanks to that, we are still in the leading group.

Even at this moment, China and Japan were quickly narrowing the point gap.

It was expected.

‘It was two years later that it was acknowledged that China was committing corruption.’

It is clearly illegal to catch and release a mine during a friendly war.

However, if he was not caught, no one would know.

So Japan and New Korea, of course.

It was natural that representatives from other countries with a clear difference in power were unable to narrow the point gap.

‘Well, I’m no better than the regressed me.’

China tracks down the freed demon and Taehyun knows how things will unfold in the future.

It was truly a competition between bugs and variables.

at that time.

Tiring.

“hmm?”

An unexpected message window appeared before Taehyun’s eyes.
