Chapter 427: Rich Rewards
"Choose C."
[You chose C · Attribute Extraction]
[Extracting...]
[Extraction complete. Strength attribute +13. Current: 47]
An electric current flashed through Kaito Shirogane's muscles instantly. Accompanied by momentary intense pain, Kaito felt his whole body's muscles were torn apart instantly, then regenerated at an even faster speed.
That interference with his physical body at the [Information] level was something even his current [Transcendent Helix] couldn't simulate or perceive in detail.
The only thing he could detect was that at this moment, his strength... was unimaginably strong!
With a thought, Kaito raised his foot and stomped on the ground.
Thump!
A deep stomping sound appeared, but the stone pavement didn't shatter.
Lee Chae-rin was baffled. But in the next moment, hundreds of meters away, the exclamations of the crowd suddenly rang out.
"Ah!"
"Careful, it's an earthquake!"
The corner of Kaito's mouth grinned. This was an artificial small earthquake caused entirely by relying on non-human strength and the force control ability of a martial arts grandmaster.
Now he was getting closer and closer to the concept of so-called "Superman" in the eyes of ordinary people.
"You go first. I will arrange people from Samwol Chaebol to handle things here. The press conference will probably be held later. If smooth... you can see the news of supernatural humans assassinating the President on the global trending search tonight."
Lee Chae-rin's silver eyes returned to normal. Feeling Kaito's abnormal speed of becoming stronger, she felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart.
How can I get rid of this kind of monster...
Kaito lowered his eyelids. Lee Chae-rin's inner voice appeared in his [Mantra]. He just glanced at the woman, then bent his knees and kicked, like a black shadow.
Accompanied by the explosion sound of air, he flew into the high sky with a boom. In the pitch-black rain curtain, Qi under Kaito's feet spurted constantly. Completely breaking free from gravity's control, he flew into the high sky violently, crashing through rain clouds directly to arrive above the cloud layer.
"Choose B."
[You chose B · Item Extraction]
[Extracting...]
Originally, Seo Ji-woo was coveted by Kaito because he revealed that treasure map. In the previous battle, he also showed some unused trump card.
If Kaito wasn't mistaken, that was probably also a kind of potion.
[Extraction complete]
*[You obtained item: Worn Notebook (White) 1]
[You obtained item: Treasure Map: Legend of the Demon's Third Eye (Red)]
[You obtained item: Hearthstone (Purple)]
[You obtained item: Blood Marrow of the King of Sky and Wind (Red)]
Kaito stood above the cloud layer. Strong wind, heavy rain, and lightning were all running wild beneath his feet. Looking at his extraction results, he covered his forehead.
If this weird strong luck was a destiny, then he accepted it gladly;
If this coincidence was an arrangement, he didn't mind seeing the ending.
Kaito was cruel to others, and even crueler to himself.
First, he opened that notebook with a red cover. This was indeed a notebook without any mysterious power. The handwriting inside was probably written by Seo Ji-woo himself.
Kaito glanced at it briefly. This was probably something like a "Murder Note." Seo Ji-woo recorded in detail the process of his slaughtering various ordinary people. From the text, one could feel his exuberant pleasure.
And later, it also recorded some of his plans and arrangements. Most useful to Kaito were probably some Reincarnator data.
These should be part of the data of his [Isshinkai] members. Some detailed, some brief.
Kaito put this thing away. Then came that red treasure map Seo Ji-woo used to tempt him before.
[Treasure Map: Legend of the Demon's Third Eye (Red)]
[Quality: Rare Treasure of the World]
[Description: A precious treasure map circulated from a certain world, recording a certain legendary treasure]
*[Effect: Pay A-Class Singularity 1, Dimensional Points 30000. Can directly start a designated deployment mission leading to a certain world] (Note: The difficulty of this world is extremely high. Cannot return before completing the designated deployment mission)
According to Kaito's guess, this world should refer to [Dragon Ball · Daima] or a certain world linked to ancient Chinese mythology.
The world power level was very high, so Seo Ji-woo hadn't used it all along.
[Hearthstone]
[Quality: Unparalleled Rare]
[Description: A special item widely circulated in a certain magical world, possessing the power to distort time and space]
[Effect 1: Can record a certain space-time coordinate. After activating the item, can be teleported to the coordinate space-time (Current recorded coordinate: (λ=116.4°, φ=39.9°, r=6371km, t=1435 AD))]
[Effect 2: After using this item once, must wait for recharge (3/30)]
[Do you want to overwrite the Hearthstone recorded coordinate?]
Kaito looked at the special stone carved with blue-white magic runes in his hand. He didn't choose to erase the original coordinate but put it into his backpack.
If he guessed correctly, the value of this item was extremely high, and it had already been recorded with a certain mission world by Seo Ji-woo.
That coordinate was a path to repeatedly enter the same mission world.
Kaito then focused his gaze on the last tube of potion.
This was what Seo Ji-woo took into his hand at the last moment. In his heart, this was probably his last trump card for fighting strong enemies.
[Blood Marrow of the King of Sky and Wind]
[Quality: Rare Treasure of the World]
[Description: Blood marrow deliberately hidden by a Dragon Monarch of a certain world, containing dangerous and powerful strength]
[Usage Requirement: Possess Dragonborn, Dragon Blood, etc. bloodline characteristics]
[Effect 1: After use, bloodline will be purified. Bloodline undergoes irreversible change]
[Effect 2: After using this item, Dragon King Resurrection Trial will be passively activated. If the trial fails, the Reincarnator will be possessed]
Kaito looked at this thing, understanding what kind of trump card this was, and also knowing why Seo Ji-woo hesitated.
Seo Ji-woo was essentially just a pathological person who liked to abuse the weak. He had no confidence in winning against the Dragon King.
Therefore, he wasn't simply hesitating or being arrogant at that time.
But he was terrified, afraid.
Kaito had a special fondness for this kind of item with special backlash effects.
"Mr. Seo Ji-woo, you actually accumulated quite a lot of good stuff~"
Kaito suddenly felt at this time that with Seo Ji-woo's mind, his backpack was very likely full of useful and rare items.
This person was arrogant and conceited, not believing he would die, but on the other hand timid and cowardly, thus distrusting others and impossible to entrust treasures to others for safekeeping.
Tsk, thinking about it this way, only being able to extract four items is a bit of a pity.
Maybe I should have tortured him first to force him to hand over everything...
Kaito flew rapidly in the cloud layer. His control ability over [Qi] was improving rapidly.
[Bukujutsu] was an ability requiring very detailed control of Qi. Kaito flew above the cloud layer for about ten-odd minutes. Only when he felt Qi starting to weaken did he return to the manor.
At this time, people in the manor were already in a state of panic. Kaito realized that old man Lee Xianhou's actions were even faster than he thought.
And in this country, Samwol Chaebol could indeed call the wind and summon the rain, completely controlling the media.
"You're back, Mr. Shirogane. While this old man is still in good spirits, why don't we discuss the future plan?"
Lee Xianhou sat in the garden. He had retired behind the scenes now. The Chairman of Samwol Chaebol on the surface was already his eldest son Lee Cheng-ji.
But everyone knew that as long as he didn't die, the true decision-maker of Samwol Chaebol would always be him.
Kaito put on the new robe handed over by the maid, sitting opposite Lee Xianhou. He didn't discuss the next plan, just looking at Lee Cheng-ji answering reporters' questions solemnly on TV, and said:
"Change the heir. This country, can be given to you~"
