The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity - Chapter 232

Episode 232:

The plan to wipe out the villains in the South Sea and Yellow Sea and achieve results ended up failing. Still, it should be said that it is an achievement because we have cleared away a lot of smuggling from the sea, which used to be half water and half people.

When I came back, I felt lonely.

I accomplished cleaning up the villains, but I didn’t achieve what I wanted, so it’s only half a success.

“Things in this world are not easy.”

[Still, I thought I would get one. I didn’t know it wouldn’t work.]

“I think the same thing.”

[Let it go back like this?]

“Uh.”

There are ways to defeat monsters, but the chances of a gift from an alien monster being more suited to me than that of a villain were infinitely lower.

“No, maybe my greed is too big.”

We returned from the past and raised the quality level by several levels in the process of adding several gifts.

I think I was hoping to get one of those gifts while hunting villains.

If you have the same gift as Mandeuk or Gwangsim, you can place the gift under their command.

A gift that makes sense has endless uses on its own. But those gifts won’t be rolling around everywhere. My thinking itself was complacent.

To overcome this, they created a level 9 test and had to deal with several superhumans, but after the Zhou Quan incident, the superhumans who wanted to take the test disappeared.

This is how the aftermath of killing a murderer comes back. It was a model that allowed continuous gift searching, but it was a shame to get rid of it.

These days, I think I understand why conglomerates are expanding their business using octopus feet.

If I expand like that, I will be able to hold more gifts and reduce the burden on me.

“If you think about it, there’s no way nameless villains would have such a gift.”

Immediately, the ability to kill all poisons was obtained from Zhang Wuyuan, who planted the light on Berserker.

They are all awakened people who have reached the level of superhumanity. A great gift belongs to the owner who deserves it.

“for a moment.”

After thinking so far, I realized that I had been going in the wrong direction.

The quality of a gift is often proportional to the value of the owner’s name.

Searching for gifts by sifting through villains with a dragnet is inefficient, and searching against high-level awakeners could have been an easier method.

Because one legendary gift is better than a hundred small gifts.

“You’ve become dull.”

I can’t believe I finally remembered this simple problem.

This was all a problem caused by a lack of earnestness. If I were a hematologist and had been chased around with my life threatened, I would have found a good solution regardless of the means.

This is how the side effects of peace are triggered.

Well, it’s not that I miss those days.

I’m just reflecting on how I’ve become lazy because I’ve become accustomed to peace.

[Is that something to reflect on so much?]

Yongyong, who did not know the inside story, tilted his head.

“If you don’t know, stay still.”

[What are you friends! “If you’re friends, you share your worries, right?]

“If you want your friendship to last long, you also need the right amount of secrets. “You’re not telling me everything either, are you?”

[That’s true, but…]

Yongyong is mistaken about one thing.

Even if you are friends, not all people are equal.

It looks like you don’t know that very well yet.

After defeating Yongyong, who was making a fuss, I returned to Seoul. The first thing I saw upon returning to the office was the sight of people involved in the Awakened brainwashing incident being arrested one after another.

It was surprising to see not only businessmen but also politicians being arrested.

I thought you were folding it up a bit more?

It is a common characteristic of criminals that they take action only when blood is shed.

“It’s all because you demonstrated force.”

Before I knew it, Jeong Joo-ho, who was sitting next to me, said that.

Demonstration of force? What does that mean?

“You’ve been raiding the South Sea and the Yellow Sea, right? “Wasn’t that a demonstration of force?”

“Oh, that’s it.”

“Yeah, that one.”

What Jeong Joo-ho said was that I was using my power to arrest the main culprits of the Awakened brainwashing incident. Does it connect with the story from when we were dealing with the villains last time?

“It’s not a demonstration of force.”

“Even if you don’t say it, people who see it are different. They say they will dry up the seeds of villains, both sea and land, but who wouldn’t be scared? “This is the result of leaving it alone.”

I had no idea that wandering around looking for a gift would lead to something like this.

Isn’t that just a waste of money?

Things in the world are going very interestingly.

[Everyone else is scared and only you seem to be having fun.]

It doesn’t matter.

As long as I’m having fun, that’s fine.

“It worked because the results were good. “As long as you pay the right price, I don’t have to worry about it.”

“I think the scariest thing to say is that you are at a satisfactory level. So, did you get any results from wandering around?”

“No, there is none.”

“okay? “It’s a shame.”

I regained my appetite and stared at Jung Joo-ho.

Now that I think about it, there was a good material right in front of me.

“Director.”

“huh?”

“Director, don’t you want to become a superhuman?”

Although Jeong Joo-ho is seen as a specialist in administration and organizational management, just a few years ago, he was one of the strong candidates to become a superhuman and was an awakened person with outstanding skills.

The skills he showed when we went on a mission together were quite useful.

I thought the picture would look good.

“I have no thoughts.”

“is it so?”

“A few years ago, I would have told you to die, but it doesn’t mean that you can’t do anything just because you’re in the middle of nowhere. People who become superhumans ultimately have to have talent. “I don’t have that.”

I think Jung Joo-ho is attaching too much meaning to superhumans. You can climb by simply familiarizing yourself with the theory to understand how to use power and then rolling it out until your body can utilize it.

It’s a problem because most of them die before then, but if you’re as talented as Jung Joo-ho, you can take on the challenge.

It may be because the will is weak, but if one has a firm will, one does not die easily.

There is a gift awakening as a way to shorten the path.

It seemed like a talent like Jung Joo-ho would definitely have the potential to be a great gift.

I think it would be okay to give it a try.

“I think it would be possible if you were the director. “Let’s try it.”

“What plan do you have?”

“I don’t have any.”

“No, there is. “I’ve overcome countless crises while losing my mind, and you don’t think I know that?”

[and! I think the more that person loses their hair, the more they become aware of it.]

Is it difficult for Jung Joo-ho even if Cheon Myeong-guk deceives him?

This is probably why he escaped before being caught in the hands of the president.

I thought it would be easy, but it turned out to be difficult.

In that case, I guess I should throw in one more piece of rice cake.

“You get small by-products from the process. “There is one good thing about being a superman.”

“What?”

“The hair becomes thicker.”

“…!”

“A superman is literally a story about overcoming human limitations. “The vitality is activated, and thinning hair becomes thick again.”

“Is it true?”

“yes. Please check it out.”

“….”

Conflict appeared on Jung Joo-ho’s once determined face. I know. Jung Joo-ho pretends to have given up on everything, but he still has some lingering feelings about his hair.

“Let’s think about it for a moment.”

“yes. “It’s not urgent, so think about it comfortably.”

It seems like the initiative has been taken over, so there is no need to give the impression that you are clinging to it.

Decisions must always be made by Joo-ho Jeong.

[Is your hair really getting thicker?]

As Jeong Joo-ho, who was engulfed in worry, went outside, Yongyong asked with a curious expression. Now that I think about it, hair loss was something that Shinsoo couldn’t overcome.

“uh. “But it doesn’t last long.”

[What do you mean?]

“The hair got thicker, but the weak hair roots couldn’t hold on. However, if you manage it well during that period, it will be an honorable death because you can look rich.”

[and! You were really bad.]

“Isn’t it a good thing that you became a superhuman and helped me achieve my dream, even if only for a moment?”

[….]

Yongyong looked at me and shook his head.

* * *

When I think about it, there were many surprisingly talented people around me. Lee Se-hee and Jeong Da-hyun are considered strong candidates to become superhumans, going beyond promising prospects, and Cheon Myeong-guk was also a talented person with a simulation.

[Isn’t simulation a great gift?]

“Good. But it’s not my taste.”

This gift, which involves guessing the outcome through various pieces of information, is not fun.

One way or another, the result would have been that all the opponents died.

It’s less fun if you see the results in advance and try your hand at it. The result is fixed anyway, but it is better to be free to taste it according to your will.

Ah, if I had been dealing with the Heavenly Demon Armor, I would have been able to prevent Full Recovery from being used.

If only I had intuition, I could have prevented it.

The Heavenly Demon Armor was acting so much beyond expectations that we couldn’t stop it.

And there were significant difficulties in enticing people who already had gifts.

It’s difficult to tell someone who has already opened a gift that you can recognize the gift.

That’s why it’s good to lure talented people like Jung Joo-ho who haven’t opened their gifts.

It was time to look around to see who else was talented.

At that time, I was able to discover a talent that I had pushed out of my consciousness.

“Hello, Superhuman!”

Then, there was this guy.

I nodded when I saw Yang Joo-hyuk saying hello. The guy who was a villain in my last life had the nickname Inner Clow.

There are two ways for a villain to basically have a second name. Either your skills are outstanding or your evil deeds are unusual.

Yang Joo-hyuk was a great villain who fell into both categories. His talent was also quite outstanding, so he would have become even stronger if he had not died early.

Let’s go with this guy.

“I have one question.”

“Yes, tell me anything.”

“Have you opened the gift?”

“We are trying, but there is no news yet.”

As far as I know, Innerclown had a gift.

What that means is that the gift awakens at any time.

This is a great opportunity.

“Have your thoughts changed since you last saw it?”

“Yes, a lot has changed.”

“okay?”

“I have come to think that it is an idea that I cannot embrace with my current ability and that I should humble myself until I gain strength.”

“But you shouldn’t be intimidated by that. “You have to do whatever it takes to become strong.”

“I’ll try my best. thank you.”

In this life, what I wanted to do to keep his hair in check had a positive effect, and Yang Joo-hyuk became an ambitious but hard-working young man.

When I see someone working hard, don’t I have a good heart and want to help them?

I told Yang Joo-hyuk.

“What if I could help you open the gift?”

“Are you doing this for me too?”

“I know?”

“yes. I am trying to keep the information about Choin in mind. I heard that if you receive the grace of a superman, you can also know the inherent gift. Adepts from all over the world also benefited from it. “My goal was to receive the grace of the Adept.”

Was it that much?

Anyway, a rumor is fast.

It was packaged better than I thought, so it was nice to listen to.

This will make talking easier.

“So what do you think?”

“Of course I want to receive favor! Even if you don’t get a gift, you won’t be disappointed!”

This could be a cruel outcome for someone without a gift.

However, Yang Joo-hyuk is a villain who used gifts with the nickname Inner Clown. There is no way there is no gift.

They don’t know that, so their anxious expressions seem cute. Because I already know the result.

This is good for Yang Joo-hyuk and good for me.

“Then when should we check?”

“I’m good right now!”

“now?”

“yes! “If you don’t have time, it’s okay to do it later.”

“No, I’m fine.”

Perhaps because he is young, he seems to want to deal with things quickly.

I’m glad it suits me well.

“Let’s do it right away.”

“yes…?”

Before Yang Joo-hyuk changed his mind, I reached out and dug into his chest.

“…!”

My eyes widen as I feel the hand penetrating my chest.

I actually felt puzzled by that sight.

Why are you so surprised when you say it’s okay right now?

[I think he meant after work?]

Really? There must have been an error in communication.

What do you think? I already did it.

I said to Yang Joo-hyuk, whose eyes were wide open and whose heart was pounding.

“Stay still. My heart is exploding.”
