Most Lifers are prejudiced towards the ocean.

This is referring to the abnormal ocean where sea mutants live. This is the same for Cha Jun Sung. The ocean is where they can’t move properly without specialized equipment.

Sea General worked in the ocean for 10 years. A few users also worked in the ocean, but he is the only one who caught a level 8.

An underwater level 8, not a level 8 above ground. It’s incredible.

“There’s something that Lifers are mistaken about, but sea mutants are weaker than above ground mutants. It’s just that Lifers are handicapped because their activity is in the ocean, making people feel like these mutants are stronger.”

He said that he had been completing missions in the ocean since the reality version was launched.

“Above ground mutant are as smart as humans once they get to higher levels. Isn’t it kind of a definite since some of them are evolved from humans?”

Sea mutants aren’t like that. Humans can’t live in the ocean.

Since evolution begins from marine life, they become smart animals rather than as smart as humans.

Sea mutants can’t approach humans intelligence, and they can’t get close to absorbing human knowledge. The level 8 that Sea General caught was also smart and shrewd, but he had finally been able to catch it.

“Are you saying that the ocean would be easier if we had the proper equipment?”

“It’d be good to change the battlesuit to act in the ocean.”

This was the point. If they could just create the Albatrus, it’ll become the best weapon to attack with and hunting level 8s could be easy. Cha Jun Sung cannot sympathize because he used all his energy in killing Odelia and Narsiel.

“1000 people can enter a level B mission and 10,000 people can enter level A. What do you think would happen if these kinds of numbers of Lifers roamed above ground?”

Since they are big even after hiding their traces with the battlesuit, they would soon be found out by mutants.

Cha Jun Sung agreed.

This is right.

“But the Albatrus could move that many people secretly.”

There are more docile sea mutants than there are aggressive ones. A lot of them move in hordes because they haven’t been able to evolve past their animalistic habits, but it’s game over if they just torpedo it in the middle.

“I bought a submarine in the level B store and have been working in the Pacific Ocean. I worked on a boat in real life, did it for 10 years in the virtual version, and lived in the ocean for over 4 years in this place too.”

What he heard from Strategist is that the Albatrus is the top combat weapon. People with level A specifications would be able to catch level 8 mutants.

This would strengthen them to level S and once completely filled with Lifers, they might even be able to catch Sea God Levadan. A man needs to have a goal. Sea General wants to catch Sea God Levadan and quell the ocean.

He isn’t making an appeal for the Albatrus with personal ambition.

There’s no reason to only go through missions on land. If they just succeed in creating it, they could move their main stage to the ocean. Simply put, they can kill with the Albatrus instead of working themselves to the bones with battlesuits.

Cha Jun Sung listened and thought that something was missing.

He had listened to Strategist and Sea General’s impassioned speeches and enough of the explanations, but he doesn’t know why they have called him here.

“But why have you called for me?”

“I’ll be straightforward. Have you purchased anything from the level S store that could be used for the Albatrus?”

He doesn’t. Of course he doesn’t.

He plummeted when he lost his space compression bag. He’s still going crazy when he thinks about what a loss it is.

Cha Jun Sung told them the truth. It doesn’t make sense that he lost something so important, but what could he do? It’s the truth.

“What a pity. Then will you be able to help us in creating this?”

It seems they’re asking him to become an investor. What they want from him won’t be several millions of points. It’ll be in the billions at the least.

‘There isn’t really any item to buy.’

He doesn’t have anything to buy in the level A store since he hasn’t opened level S.

All he has left to do is to save up points for future use. If he wants to, he could help. The key is what benefit there would be to him.

“How much support do you need?”

“It’s 1 trillion. Rankers are 50 billion, cadres 20 billion.”

0.1% of 100 trillion.

It is a small portion overall, but thinking of all of the Lifers who will invest, one person will have to take on 1/1000.

“If you help us, we will put you in the level A advancement.”

“Advancement?”

Cha Jun Sung’s eyes grow wide. Level A advancement missions are extremely limited. There are only 50 level A missions, and there aren’t even 3 advancement missions.

High difficulty. Of those, there isn’t a mission related to the ocean.

He was going to wait until Park Jin Hyuk’s group met level A specifications, but they’ll get him in?

“Yes! It’s a level A advancement in the ocean.”

Huh?

Life Mission’s satellite cannot watch the ocean’s ecosystem, so there are only a couple level B missions, much less level A.

“I was near the Pacific Ocean when I found Deep-Sea Teeth.”

Sea General speaks.

Deep-Sea Teeth are level 8. He had discovered them in the virtual version as well and went looking for them thinking they might live in the same place, and it had been a hit.

“When I found them, a level A advancement mission came up. Haha! It’s a good thing I ignored them and just went on, or else I could have died.”

“You say ‘them’?”

“There’s a male and female pair.”

He’s saying there are two.

Of course. There have to be two level 8s to make it an advancement mission.

“Do they live in the Pacific Ocean?”

“Yes. They have a newborn baby, so they won’t move.”

There’s no reason for them to move. They are below Levadan, but Sea Teeth are a top predator in the ocean. They will hold that position now too.

“But if we kill them with the Albatrus, we won’t be able to advance because we wouldn’t get enough contribution points.”

“I think it’s enough to support when fighting against two of them, since what the helpers look at is whether we qualify to advance or not.”

Cha Jun Sung’s combat power is beyond level A.

It doesn’t seem like he’ll fail even if he gets support. It would be comfortable to be backed up by a large military force.

It could be fine to leave it half killed and finish up. Cha Jun Sung had actually been thinking about getting help from the Federation when entering level A advancement.

If the Rankers go, he was confident they could complete the mission with him at the center. But from the way things are going, it looks like Strategist’s group is going to attack the ocean with the Albatrus. He needs to follow them whether he likes it or not.

“Can I think about it a bit before answering?”

“Alright. I hope we can hear good news within a month.”

From the perspective of Strategist’s group, they can create the Albatrus without Cha Jun Sung. They are trying to get him to join because of his combat power that goes beyond level 8.

Cha jun Sung held off on making a decision. He could invest in something worth 100 trillion points if he has to. He needs to weigh what is more beneficial to him.

***

A building that collapsed under bombing.

Cha Jun Sung and Park Jin Hyuk’s group are sitting at the top of the wreck. They are on high ground, so the panorama is in full view.

Corpses laid out at the foot of the wreck, near the debris.

They have killed nearly tens of thousands of mutants. Causes of death vary, too. They were cut up, punctured, or ripped up. And this is in progress. A lot of mutants are coming in to them. As many mutants die as well. action

6 automatic cannons use up a mountain of bullets piled as high as they are. There are so many that the pile does not seem to get smaller.

There is one installed in the east and northwest directions, and 2 are supporting where they are being pushed back from the center. Cha Jun Sung’s group occasionally pulled the triggers on their reinforced rifles. Where Cha Jun Sung’s group is sitting and drawing out the scene is so disconnected from the atmosphere outside that they’re scared it might come out in their dreams.

Can they say it feels like the automatic cannons are a boundary?

Park Jin Hyuk yawns in boredom.

He occasionally throws a bomb in places where it looks like they can get through.

The number of corpses only increases.

“There are two months left, right?”

“Yeah.”

Cha Jun Sung responds to Park Jin Hyuk. They are nearing the completion of Albatrus. They have been laboring ever since Cha Jun Sung agreed to support the project. He is actually entering a mission with his party members for the first time in a while, and they are hunting mutants in a one-sided massacre. They chose level B missions to do these in.

It is harrowing to think of trying to gather 100 billion points, but his party members fortunately helped take on the burden. All 5 people agreed to help him with 10 billion each for 50 billion.

Strategist pulled Park Jin Hyuk’s group in, too.

Each person promised to support with 20 billion and since they took half of Cha Jun Sung’s with 50 billion, that’s 30 billion.

It is hard to do alone, but it’s easy when divided up because of reward points.

If 6 people enter a 50 million point level B mission, there are 3 billion reward points.

What Lifers need to provide for the Albatrus is not points, but materials. As long as they meet the conditions, it doesn’t matter how they achieve it.

Party members help each other and in the case of Park Jin Hyuk’s group, they provided 70% of the materials and Cha Jun Sung hadn’t been able to match that. Even so, he is performing the role that Strategist gave him well. There are 2 months left till completion, and it seems they should more or less be able to make it.

“If it goes according to plan, we should be able to gather the points comfortably.”
