I’M A Max-Level Regressor [EN]: Chapter 140

140.

Ten minutes later.

Lee Ha-seong arrived.

This was a safe house near Yeongdeungpo Station that I didn’t visit often, making it less conspicuous.

Recently, my frequent visits to the Sadang Station residence had started to draw attention from neighbors and people around.

For safety, I had deliberately changed my residence. Of course, I brought Shami here too.

“Welcome. I should be the one going, but I was surprised you came here directly.”

“It’s nothing. I had some business near Sindorim Station anyway. I also came because Shin-hwa contacted me.”

“It’s something I could have said over the phone, but it’s such a serious matter that I thought security was necessary.”

“What is it? I’m curious, but also worried.”

“I’ll cut to the chase. I have a precognitive ability, conditionally.”

“Pardon?”

Lee Ha-seong was startled by the sudden bombshell and asked me again.

Regression and precognition are very different.

Regression is about knowing all the future history you have experienced, heard, or learned, while precognition is just seeing a fragment of the future.

If regression is a huge category in terms of knowledge of future history, precognition is only a very narrow range within it.

But mentioning precognition alone was enough to talk about.

I was going to use that as a reason to talk about Mok Jin-woo and Shin Jeong-ah.

“And recently, I sensed a bad future, so I’m telling you this….”

“Precognition ability… I understand. The dungeon transfer of Yanghwa Guild and the Jije Station incident are understandable if you have precognition.”

Lee Ha-seong nodded.

He seemed to accept it, not suspecting me.

“Hongyeon Guild and Cheongyeon Guild are joining forces and preparing to attack Hyehwa Guild soon. It’s a large-scale all-out war between guilds.”

“All-out war… you said?”

“Yes. It’s a perfectly designed all-out war from the start. It’s a big picture to absorb Hyehwa Guild and merge the two guilds.”

“Aren’t Hongyeon and Cheongyeon Guilds guilds that have been at odds from the beginning?”

“Until now, yes.”

“Hmm….”

Lee Ha-seong’s reaction was not much different from Kim Jae-rim’s.

This is not Lee Ha-seong’s fault.

Because Mok Jin-woo and Shin Jeong-ah have been donating to the KSA [Korea Superhuman Association] and cooperating with various justifications.

From the beginning, they didn’t do anything that would antagonize the KSA and maintained a thoroughly low profile.

Of course, all of this was thanks to the elaborate design 미리 [preemptively] instructed by China’s Three Evils.

But after destroying the Hyehwa Guild, taking all their interests and dungeons, and declaring the merger of the two guilds.

The KSA becomes a puppet completely manipulated by Mok Jin-woo.

After that, Lee Ha-seong and other KSA executives become insignificant.

‘I suffered from this design in my past life. Mok Jin-woo kept the secrecy thoroughly until the day he drew his sword.’

“I’ll only tell you what I’ve confirmed with precognition. It’s up to the director to believe it or not.”

After that.

I told him all the history without leaving anything out, under the good pretext of precognition.

Lee Ha-seong listened carefully.

He wrote down the contents one by one in the notepad he brought, nodding as if it was plausible.

In particular, Lee Ha-seong had a keen eye for the CSA. He already knew that the backing force was the Three Evils.

I told him everything without leaving anything out, and Lee Ha-seong gave a serious answer after I finished speaking.

“To be honest, it’s hard to believe all the contents as they are. It’s not that I doubt Shin-hwa, but because verification is needed from now on.”

“I understand.”

“But considering the trust and performance Shin-hwa has shown us, and the context of what I heard today, it seems very reasonable.”

“If it comes true, the landscape of the Awakened order in Korea will completely change in a new form.”

“That’s right. Preventing these problems or loopholes in advance is entirely the responsibility of our KSA.”

“The D-day seems to be already set. March 20th. At that time, there will be a large-scale cooperative attack between Hyehwa Guild and Hongyeon Guild.”

“Ah? So that’s why… ?”

Lee Ha-seong himself seemed to have something he could guess, and he was rolling his eyes.

But unlike me, who knows everything, he just heard my story.

He needs his own confirmation and investigation. I didn’t urge him. It wasn’t a problem that he could believe right away.

“I’ll conduct a secret investigation. As a precaution, I’m not thinking of it as a light concept like a conspiracy theory.”

“Of course. Why would I babble 망상 [delusions] in front of the director?”

“Let’s investigate thoroughly. It’s a situation where we can 충분히 [sufficiently] suspect the causality.”

“Thank you. Please contact me anytime.”

“When everything is clear, I will give you a separate thank you for the report.”

I nodded.

Probably, this will be repeated because of some things I have to intervene in instead of Nicholas in the future.

The story of people who mention the future and those who believe it or don’t want to believe it.

Nicholas’s old saying that this is endlessly repeated suddenly came to my mind.

I thought he had a lot of trouble.

Of course, I don’t like being the only one doing all the work right now.

What can I do? I just have to endure it hard.

I’ll grit my teeth and hold back until the day I retire. Not much left!

On the way home.

Lee Ha-seong was driving while deeply thinking.

“With the talent he has now, he’s already amazing… To have precognitive ability here.”

Lee Ha-seong had given up judging the number of Shin-hwa’s talents at some point.

In the beginning, he counted quadruple or pentuple [fourfold or fivefold].

As more and more talents were added, he just 넘어가 버렸다 [glossed over it] as if such calculation was natural!

“Isn’t Kang Shin-hwa the first Awakened with precognitive ability? Only theoretical possibilities have been mentioned, but there are no actually verified Awakened, right?”

The scary thing was this.

Of course, Shin-hwa’s precognitive ability has not yet been verified.

If they investigate and find no suspicion, it will literally become ‘뇌내망상’ [a delusion in one’s head].

But Shin-hwa, whom Lee Ha-seong has seen, would never waste his energy on nonsense.

Why would someone who only tells the truth because he’s too lazy to add embellishments say unnecessary nonsense?

Therefore, Lee Ha-seong felt that Shin-hwa’s mentioned precognitive ability was more reliable.

“Secrecy must be life.”

Lee Ha-seong thought so.

Even if he doesn’t have precognitive ability, if he does, Shin-hwa’s importance in Korea increases even more.

And the KSA has a duty to actively protect and protect such capable Awakened.

“Kang Shin-hwa said he doesn’t need it, but I think it’s better to form a dedicated security team.”

Lee Ha-seong’s thoughts were firm.

He’s a really important person.

Then, even if he can’t cover all his activities, he wanted to manage him 확실히 [thoroughly] in Korea.

“I’m really curious. But I can’t use my 탐색 [search/scan] ability at all, so is there any way? Because he’s a man with many secrets….”

Numerous talents that Shin-hwa didn’t 공개 [reveal]! Lee Ha-seong wanted to know those talents so much.

But unless they go to the dungeon together, they will never see it.

He needs good bait(?).

March 9th, dawn.

I boarded a direct flight to the Lolaña Kingdom.

I thought that money should be used when you have it, so I got a first-class seat, although it was quite expensive.

I had company too.

It was Jin Bo-mi and officials from Yanghwa Construction.

The reason was to start with the basic groundwork for building structures on Krivia Island.

Estimates were needed for all construction work, including various auxiliary facilities and a runway dedicated to light aircraft.

It was also my legitimate arrangement to retire, but of course, I didn’t want to do any dirty work!

Jin Bo-mi came along to coordinate the necessary parts on-site with the working-level staff.

She had traveled abroad countless times with her father, Jin Seong-tae, since she was young.

In particular, she had a lot of interest in construction and architecture, so she had a very good relationship with the working-level staff.

She will handle the parts that I’m awkward with or difficult to coordinate on my behalf.

Wee-ing.

The feeling of flying through the sky full of starlight and moonlight above the clouds was always cozy.

Jin Bo-mi, who washed up and ran straight after finishing the Madillo Dungeon raid, fell asleep in the seat next to me.

She was snoring loudly.

‘I realized that there are parts I need to supplement while dealing with 리퀴스터 [Liquister].’

I was 복기 [reviewing] more closely.

I killed 리퀴스터 [Liquister] and got a lot of things, starting with flowers.

Nevertheless, I had many incomplete elements.

I can earn more money and advance my retirement if I have perfect ability and power.

Besides, even if 잔챙이 [small fry] gather in my 터전 [territory] after retirement, I can protect myself as much as I want.

If I don’t have power, everything I have can disappear overnight. The world is more ‘흉흉’ [ominous] than I thought.

‘Attribute ability….’

리퀴스터 [Liquister] was the first to show his colleagues the uniqueness of attribute resistance.

It may be unfamiliar to colleagues, but in dungeons above SSS rank, such guys come out like eating every day.

Especially in EX rank dungeons, it is almost impossible to find monsters without resistance.

Physical, magical, fire, electric shock, ice, gale, toxicity, hallucination resistance, etc!

They come out with resistance so much that they are crazy.

The dungeon I’m greedy for in the future is not a dungeon below A rank.

That level can be 충분히 [easily] raided by two or three people.

To increase the level of the loot pie, you have to go to a dungeon with at least the letter S.

Then I will have to deal with more variables, and the most 까다로운 [tricky] thing is resistance.

‘My attack doesn’t have magical damage, but it’s definitely lacking. Attribute damage can fill this.’

The basis for judgment was clear.

Adding attribute ability can strengthen physical damage and compensate for insufficient magical damage.

In addition, you can inflict additional damage by using the power of the attribute in the 상성 [compatibility] to attribute-based monsters.

‘SSS+ rank, Vargas.’

The name of the monster that I must put on the 제사상 [ancestral memorial table] soon came to my mind.

The flower of attributes.

The omnipotent flower that can encompass all four attributes is with that guy!
