The Genius Decided To Live An Ordinary Life [EN]: Chapter 333

Beginning (14)

This must be what it feels like to have a head full of fire. I don’t remember catching the elevator and going down to the third basement floor.

Only a figure in a severely restricted clock, wearing a white T-shirt and denim shorts, filled my vision, looking hesitant.

Seeing her standing at the entrance, cautiously watching Jinhyeok, briefly reminded me of Executive Director Hong Sujeong from the past. The way she looked when she left home on her wedding day. But only for a moment. The way she slightly lowered her head and looked up at me awakened the beast that Jinhyeok had kept hidden deep inside.

Without a word of greeting, I showered her with kisses.

So did Hong Sujeong.

Grrr!

Nya nya nyang!

The two beasts, clinging to each other without a razor’s edge of space between them, embraced tightly, pulling with all their might as if to explode.

{Ooh-.}

{Ruby Team, retreat.}

{Suddenly?}

{What about the report?}

{The Chairman and his wife are on a trip to Europe with their son…}

{Perfect opportunity…}

{Shouldn’t we stop them?}

{Are they fighting? Why stop them, you crazy bastard.}

{We have to intervene if it gets dangerous.}

{It looks dangerous, but it’s hard to tell if it’s the right kind of danger.}

{Gulp-.}

{Stop watching and retreat.}

I didn’t even remember how I got back up to the house.

I opened the front door and threw off my shoes, and my mind cleared a little.

‘Oops!’

Was I too much of a beast, dragging her in without a word?

It didn’t seem like I had dragged her in. Hong Sujeong, held in Jinhyeok’s arms, had her arms wrapped tightly around her oppa’s [term of endearment for an older brother or male friend] neck, clinging to him. Only then did I remember picking her up from the basement and carrying her all the way up.

A flushed face like a drunk, watery eyes looking up like a frightened cat.

‘Shouldn’t I say something?’

I have to be careful.

Whenever I have too many thoughts, I just end up talking nonsense.

How desperately I wanted you, how long I had waited for this day.

Thud-.

“Ugh!”

A groan escaped with a scream, and her face contorted.

That bastard showed up again.

‘What! Why are you here!’

【Your earnest desire has shaken my world. I have come, casting aside the ⬛⬛ and ⬛⬛ Mya Mya of the Model Tribe.】

He was an unwelcome guest, but I myself was surprised that I wanted Hong Sujeong so much that I summoned Dugu Elil.

On the other hand, I was embarrassed. It felt like I had abandoned my humanity and chosen my wildness.

Perhaps because I was more desperate than usual, his presence was stronger, and the headache was particularly severe.

【Ohoho-, are they mating?】

‘Don’t talk nonsense! We haven’t done it yet!’

【The earth split, rocky mountains pierced the clouds and soared, and underground springs and lava gushed forth. Now I understand.】

What kind of world is it, and how is it connected that Jinhyeok’s psychology causes the world to be created?

【Hey, friend. But do you know what?】

‘What? My head is killing me.’

【In the world where I lived as a human, there was a tradition of watching a friend’s first night. Know it as an honor. The second greatest being in the universe will personally witness your first night with a woman-.】

‘You’re kidding me! What kind of uncivilized world has such a tradition!’

【You’re not falling for it. You are smart as always. Tch-.】

I think this bastard is licking his lips?

‘Get out of here right now!’

【I’m disappointed. I’ll close my eyes, so at least let me hear the sounds-.】

‘I’m going to kill you, seriously. Where did you learn such a solo loser talk? Go play with the Model Tribe!’

【But friend, do you know what?】

‘What is it now? My head feels like it’s breaking, so stop wasting time and get to the point.’

【If you use Guildmork, you can do it without getting tired.】

‘Really? Ah, no! I don’t need that!’

It’s tempting, but who am I going to kill?

【I’m leaving. Do it a lot…】

Dugu Elil faded away wistfully.

What does he mean by doing it a lot, the idiot.

The headache that felt like it was about to break disappeared, and my vision cleared.

My breathing became easier, and my head felt cooler.

I met Hong Sujeong’s eyes, who was looking up at me with a worried expression.

A lost, rain-soaked, pure white kitten was shining its wet eyes.

‘Ah…, my heart. It only reacts strongly to this girl.’

Hong Sujeong carefully caressed Jinhyeok’s cheek.

“Are you okay?”

Her wet, clear voice filled me with strength.

Putting her mind at ease comes first.

When I was growling and exploring her lips in the basement, and the rough breaths she let out all the way up, I must have seemed like a beast. On top of that, I was standing there with a scowl on my face, so she must have thought it was strange.

At times like this, I have to be as kind and gentle as possible.

‘I’m sorry. Were you very surprised? Oppa [term of endearment for an older brother or male friend] is okay.’

“Oppa [term of endearment for an older brother or male friend] is not impotent!”

Kwaang!

Ah, I don’t know anymore.

Go!

Jinhyeok ran into the room with Hong Sujeong in his arms.

Thud-!

“Kyak!”

I bumped my head on the door, but it didn’t hurt.

Because it wasn’t Jinhyeok’s head.

The two beasts landed on the bed and, before they knew it, began a ⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛ ⬛⬛ ⬛⬛ ⬛⬛ ⬛⬛.

***

Saturday morning dawned.

I’ve felt this since I was a kid, but when I sleep with her, I sleep in.

It was the same in elementary school and middle school.

It must have been because she was a presence that comforted and caressed my tired soul.

I quietly got up and glanced at the woman sleeping soundly next to me.

‘Oh, you little thing.’

I only managed to salvage her body from the parking lot, so Hong Sujeong had no clothes to wear.

So, as a last resort, I dressed her in Jinhyeok’s T-shirt and put her to sleep.

It was a big size even for Jinhyeok, so it covered Hong Sujeong’s thighs generously, and it seemed comfortable as pajamas.

‘But why did this go all the way up here?’

I carefully pulled down the T-shirt that had gone all the way up to just below her neck, so as not to wake Hong Sujeong.

With my eyes wide open.

Gulp-. I even swallowed.

‘Even your breath is sweet, and there is no unfragrant corner of you.’

Suddenly! The inner and outer beasts raised their heads again.

However.

Grumble-.

‘Ugh-. I’m hungry.’

Jinhyeok was also a beast with a hearty appetite.

My body ached from running all night.

Tiredness was plastered all over me, as if I had lead weights all over my body.

It was only natural, since I had run an infinite long distance with the energy of a short distance.

It was more difficult to run carefully so as not to fall than to run fast.

It must be because I have a habit of paying attention to embracing rather than harming someone with explosive energy.

Nevertheless, the duality of the beast that burned everything without leaving anything behind after a long time is ridiculous.

‘Should I buy some food? I need to buy water, too.’

I didn’t have any suitable ingredients at home because I didn’t cook at home.

Juice and milk were available at the training center, and it had been over a year since I had them at home because they often expired.

I could just boil water, but I ran out of water.

Drrr-.

‘What the!’

I quickly grabbed the vibrating cell phone.

It would be a problem if Sujeong woke up.

I covered her with a blanket so she wouldn’t wake up and went out to the living room.

“Oh-, Jaguar. What’s going on?”

As soon as I opened my mouth, I felt my cracked palate, and my face was naturally frowned.

Chae Gyuhho is working at the Yeouido Research Institute, not Saktok. It was Jinhyeok’s decision after reviewing the equipment report being developed with his friends.

It was necessary to keep the item presented by Chae Gyuhho close by, monitor its development, and offer opinions.

– Chairman! Today is a historic day!

Yes, today is a historic day.

– Sphere Cap Ready!

What the…

It was a magic spell that made workaholics forget their thirst.

“I’ll be right there.”

Jinhyeok, with a hardened expression, headed straight for the front door.

Oh, I have to put on pants.

*

“Chairman, you’re dressed casually today?”

“Yeah. It turned out that way.”

It’s unusual for someone who wears a suit even on weekends. Chae Gyuhho tilted his head and led the way to the Sphere Capsule.

Sphere Capsule.

Looking closely at a sphere with an inner diameter of 3 meters and an outer diameter of 4 meters, it is densely packed with ceramic balls smaller than ping-pong balls and full of holes.

All of those balls serve as sensors and axes, and each ball is connected to a titanium alloy axis that is hydraulically operated. The device organically enters and retreats, playing the role of freely imprinting terrain inside the sphere capsule. It is easy to understand if you imagine a steel pillar with a bearing with almost the same diameter at the end embedded in the ball. It’s easy to understand if you imagine a steel pillar with a bearing of almost the same diameter at the end embedded in the ball.

“That axis keeps bothering me. It only has straightness.”

“It’s because the technology is not yet sufficient. We have to keep researching.”

“Still, it’s useful because the ball is not constrained, so you can freely apply rotation.”

“Adjusting the rotation speed is still a challenge to be solved. Fine adjustment is not easy.”

“If it were as easy as saying it, someone would have already made it.”

It was a particularly meaningful piece of equipment for Jinhyeok in that it was a machine created purely by the capabilities of Chae Gyuhho and other researchers without the help of alien technology.

‘Yongpiji doesn’t even have this kind of technology…’

I was also grateful to Chae Gyuhho, who realized the equipment that Jinhyeok had explained in passing when he was in middle school, even though it was crude and huge.

I was just planning on equipment to use for training when there was no space to exercise or when I was far away, but the researchers added words to Jinhyeok’s idea and the project grew.

It was a brainstorming session that started with the question that a treadmill would be enough if we were only going to implement a track.

「We need to move inside the ball and experience all the worlds.」

「To do that, we need millions of golf balls, power, and control software.」

「What about mountain climbing, obstacle breakthrough, and individual combat modes?」

「Let’s just insert all the terrain of the earth into the program!」

「Let’s also implement zero gravity, gliding, and falling.」

「Let’s put in a game map and test it. We can transform 2D games like Jirini into 3D.」

「There’s also Quake and Rainbow Six.」

「Let’s make exercise addicts die in here.」

Jinhyeok narrowed his eyes as he approached the Sphere Capsule.

“Jaguar, how does the wind pass through if it’s so dense?”

“We need to put fans around the outside of the sphere. Behind the fans, we can install heaters and coolers to introduce climate effects-. If the penetration is poor, we need to improve the ball.”

Chae Gyuhho pointed to a pile of boxes stacked on one side of the research lab.

“Those are all fans. I’ve prepared ones that are more powerful than strong fans.”

Fans with coolers and heaters. Anyway, it meant that the Sphere Capsule was going to get bigger.

“We need to put a more powerful one on the floor. It needs to be able to float the body.”

Squeak-.

The entrance to the sphere opened, and Jinhyeok and Chae Gyuhho stepped inside.

“It’s not slippery?”

“We haven’t put in any commands yet. You can also control that with rotational force.”

When Jinhyeok took his place in the middle of the sphere, Chae Gyuhho mumbled something into the microphone attached to his collar.

Soon after, gloves, boots, vests, and cycling goggles hanging from thin wires were lowered from above.

“I’ll help you.”

I put on the equipment with Chae Gyuhho’s help.

The fit wasn’t very good, but there were no restrictions on movement due to the wires.

“Use this too.”

When I put on the goggles, Chae Gyuhho went out of the sphere.

The door closed and darkness came.

After a while, I felt the sphere being energized with a thud-, and Chae Gyuhho was chirping in the goggles.

– Chairman, can you hear me?

“Yes. I can hear you well.”

It wasn’t clear because it wasn’t plugged into my ear, but there was no problem with communication.

– Well-, welcome to a new world-.

With Chae Gyuhho’s signal, a familiar world unfolded in the goggles, which had been all black.

‘Ooh-. Thrilling.’

It was Yeouido Park.

If you turned your head left or right, objects that would be at that angle appeared, and if you lifted it up, you could see the sky. If you bent down, you could see the feet of people wearing sneakers.

The video was not smooth and angular, and it was choppy, but with current technology, it could be said to be groundbreaking.

‘Money is the problem.’

Hardware, software development, and improvements, the test that started today.

So far, the development cost alone has been billions of won. It was a challenge that I would never have dreamed of without Hong Gijun’s full support, without knowing whether it would succeed or not, and whether it would be possible to sell it even if it did succeed.

‘I’ll have to make up for it with my own money if it fails.’

I don’t have to, but if I only lose money, I feel like I’ll feel indebted to the world. Anyway, Jinhyeok has a lot of money. I just can’t take it out and use it as I please, but the money in RB alone already exceeds n trillion.

‘I meet Hammond too often.’

Hammond was the only person who frowned at Jinhyeok’s wriggling muscles. Everyone else was amazed, but I don’t know why…

– Do you want to move?

Chae Gyuhho’s voice cut off my thoughts.

“Oh, yeah.”

The various operation tests were quite satisfactory. As Chae Gyuhho said, it wasn’t subtle, but one of the advantages of humans was adaptability. Jinhyeok’s body quickly adapted to the awkward ball rotation. Of course, it would be complete when the machine was adapted to the person, not the person to the machine.

It was a pity that I couldn’t test the gravity change and environment because there was no wind effect.

“I’ll give you plenty of time. Just work safely.”

“Okay.”

“And, Jaguar.”

“Yeah.”

“Make sure it’s good enough for combat training.”

“Combat training… Crawling, shooting… I guess that’s right…”

Todotodok-.

I added while watching Chae Gyuhho typing on his mobile device.

“Can you put in a sync function?”

“Sync? Are you going to move that with this?”

Lazenca.

A 12-meter-tall robot crouching on the 6th floor of the Saktok Underwater Research Institute.

Everyone laughed when Jinhyeok gave it that name, but he insisted on it, emphasizing that it was made in Korea.

The body was completed with alloy material and the operating software was installed, but it is still under development because a suitable engine has not been found. For now, I hope that UOF will be completed soon and become larger. If it’s delayed, I’ll have to plant a nuclear reactor.

“Wouldn’t it be possible if we put the live video on these goggles in real time?”

“It’s theoretically possible, but to move that lump of metal as much as I want, hmm…”

I put my hand on Chae Gyuhho’s shoulder as he pondered with his chin in his hand.

“That’s why sync is needed. If it’s difficult to adapt the lump of metal to the person, then adapt the person to the lump of metal.”

Then he pointed to himself with his thumb.

“You have to be incredibly strong. Maybe the chairman can do it somehow.”

“Are you doing it?”

“I have to! Because that’s my joy and reason for existence!”

“You rascal.”

After encouraging Chae Gyuhho, who answered cheerfully, and the researchers who were overwhelmed with emotion, I headed to the elevator.

Ziiiiing-.

As I left the lab, my cell phone rang as if it had been waiting.

「My love Ruby」

Oh, shoot! Sujeong!

– Oppaaa [term of endearment for an older brother or male friend]…

Her cracked voice was unfamiliar.

Did this girl cry? Because I left her alone and left?

“Uh, uh, Sujeong-ah. Oppa [term of endearment for an older brother or male friend] will go up right away. I’m sorry. Oppa [term of endearment for an older brother or male friend] was wrong-.”

– I’m thirsty. There’s only bleach and shampoo to drink… My clothes aren’t dry yet-.

“Don’t put on your clothes!”

Ah, no, that’s not what I meant. Uh, uh-

Don’t drink bleach!
