Capítulo 60: Aftercare of the helistick
There is nothing special about the abandoned hospital, or Ga-5060 Secret Research Institute.
Of course, you could say that evidence of human experimentation and artificial dimensional species are not that big a deal, but it means that they are not that big a deal compared to what they have hidden in the basement.
Other things could be restored somehow and other companies could make something similar, but the things in the basement couldn't be done.
Although there was double or triple security, honestly, the fact that the task of recapturing such a place was entrusted to an external solver was enough to make one suspect that there was some kind of conspiracy.
Therefore, it is understandable that questions about the basement were asked to me and to Go Kyung-soo of Wild Guns, who had access to the secret laboratory anyway.
'But why is that question being asked at Cure and not at Helistic?'
Cure Biotech is a multinational bio company that is conducting research similar to Helistic. If you were to ask which one is greater, Cure Biotech is larger.
Cure Biotech was the starter in the first place. However, Helistic, which adopted the technological prowess of extraterrestrial beings, grew at an incredible rate, and even though it was a latecomer, it became so large that Cure Biotech could be underestimated.
And the proportion in games is generally much higher in helicistic. The image of Cure implemented in the game is at a mediocre level. There aren't many named NPCs, and the related quests aren't that great.
"I just cleaned up what I saw and came out. "I didn't see anything like a basement."
There is no need to tell Go Kyung-soo about the basement.
"Well, whatever. Anyway, when people who are not interested parties snoop around, unexpected and dangerous things often happen... … "Take care of yourself."
"Let me listen carefully."
Go Kyung-soo held up his glass for a moment, and then, after confirming that there was nothing left in it, he put it down with regret.
"Okay, now that we've done our business, let's go."
He gets up from his seat with a grunt.
The gold watch on Go Kyung-soo's wrist makes a loud clanging sound as it collides with the gold bracelets.
"And a wizard friend. You said your name was Kim Shin-hwa, right? Take care of that business card and contact me whenever you remember. … . Just friendship as a man to man, or even a meal if you're hungry when passing by our office... … ."
Go Kyung-soo tried to suggest once again, but changed his words when he heard Tudor's growl.
Then he said, 'If I stay here any longer, the Tudors will beat me to death.' He said something and left the cafe.
"I just came because of a business partnership."
Tudor explained the reason why Go Kyung-soo visited.
"You just said something like that, but recently there has been a manpower shortage, so I'm asking you to help me whenever a wizard is needed."
"Right."
It may be out of focus with Tudor's explanation, but this is why I chose Tudor over Go Kyung-soo.
Tudor has extensive connections with other brokers, and his influence extends not only to Paju but also to other cities.
Although it doesn't happen often, you are often given the opportunity to receive exclusive quests from other brokers through Tudor.
Of course, the conditions and fees are different from those received directly from the broker... … That's a level I can tolerate.
"Well, whether Go Kyung-soo asks or not, I will block everything from my line unless it suits him."
Tudor said and led me to his office.
As soon as I sat down in the office, I asked Tudor a question.
"Didn't you yell at Helistic?"
In fact, there is no need to visit Vasilisa since the money can be received in an account.
The reason I came to Vasilisa today was because I was curious about the aftercare of the helistick.
"Obviously, he came to visit me from Helistic while he was hiding, and all sorts of things happened."
"Was there any special problem?"
"I asked a few questions, but I organized most of them well. There are a lot of answers I randomly answered on his behalf... … ."
"Randomly?"
"I gave them my smartphone, but I didn't even get a call!"
Tudor raises his voice for a moment. However, it is not an angry tone, but rather a playful attitude.
"What are you going to do? I just had a virtual interview with our Kim Shinhwa. "I was satisfied with the helistick anyway, so it doesn't really matter."
"Something happened that made it impossible for me to contact you."
I didn't get it because I was just sleeping, but there's no need to say that.
"Hmm, you must be so clumsy."
Tudor says that and takes out a folder.
"If you're curious about what Helistic's question was answered, look at this."
The folder in Tudor's hand floats and flies in front of me.
It seems like he knew I would ask this question and prepared it in advance.
"thank you."
"It was nothing."
Tudor seemed satisfied with my honest gratitude and responded with a very elegant smile.
Tudor sometimes makes such wonderful expressions that it leaves you speechless.
Perhaps some of Vasilisa's customers sit in the cafe every day just to see that smile?
After looking at the documents, I found that Helistic did not mention the basement at all.
'Because it's a high-security issue.'
If you want to keep something a secret, it's better not to talk about it at all.
Instead, it is noteworthy that the computer in the laboratory director's office is mentioned several times.
"It's somehow treated as my sole mission?"
It is recorded as the answer I gave, not Tudor, but Kim Shin-hwa.
I guess that's roughly what I meant when I said 'myself' a little while ago.
Thanks to this, Helistic might mistake me for someone who is very polite, nice, and good at handling office work.
"In fact, the content itself was written based on what I heard from Colley."
"But why did you use my name instead of the curtain call?"
"what? "Not so good?"
"It's not like that. Just curious."
"Didn't I tell you that I was going to sell it and start a business? "You need to become more famous."
"I've left it up to you to figure out how to become famous, so I can't say anything."
"Besides, Collie has a somewhat ambiguous relationship with helistic… … In fact, it's at the level of being blacklisted. Helictic's requests are being accepted under an assumed name."
"If it weren't for me who made the curtain call, I wouldn't have been able to get involved in this."
"Hehe, that's right. But thanks to you, I satisfied my curiosity."
Is this a win-win? If we had to put a twist on it, we could say that it was like playing a trick on Tudor. Nevertheless, Tudor spoke plainly. It's not that bad, but I have no complaints. Anyway, it's a relationship where we use each other in an appropriate way. As long as you don't cross the line, I don't plan on making an issue of it.
"that's right. "I guess there's nothing more to say about this."
And I don't think there's any need to read the document any further.
Even if I had answered it anyway, I would have just lied, but it's really nice that they handled it for me like this.
Rather, it is written in a much more elaborate and complete manner than what I was thinking.
"What do you mean by Cure?"
"It's exactly what Go Kyung-soo said. "He didn't say it out loud, but he wondered if the abandoned hospital had a basement or a secret room."
"Was the basement information exposed in the first place?"
Contrary to what Helistic thought, it would be understandable if there were rumors going around that there was a basement there.
"no. "This is the first time Cure has mentioned a basement."
Tudor looked lost in thought for a moment and then continued.
"Cure has been strangely perceptive these days. "It looks like you found a clever informant somewhere?"
As an informant... … There was nothing like that in the game. Could this be one of the developments that are different from the game?
"I'm rather surprised that Go Kyung-soo was asked that question as well."
"Puzzled?"
"okay. Wild Gunz had no survivors, right? "There's no way they could be stupid enough to ask questions even though they're not something they should know, right?"
"I'm not curious about the basement… … "Do you want to spread the word that they know about the basement?"
Tudor nods in agreement.
"I think so."
There were mechanical devices and grimoires that could not be implemented with modern technology.
And Helistic's researchers conducted an experiment using the bodily fluids of the [black goat that breeds madness] and created a dimensional species with the power to travel between dimensions.
Which one? What is Cure interested in: parascientific devices, black goats, human body modification, dimensional species, and grimoires?
Generally speaking, there is a high probability that Helistic, as a competitor, would be interested in information about human body modification, but... … .
'well… … That seems like a very one-dimensional approach.'
There is an increasing need to interpret the contents of the grimoire.
"Now, I have nothing more to convey. If I had come a little later, I would have delivered Wild Guns' wink instead... … "I'm glad I didn't have to do that."
"Are you close with Go Kyung-soo?"
Tudor made an audible noise. They seem to be quite friendly.
I haven't had a chance to see human relationships like this in games, but it's quite interesting.
"I just helped him settle down when he was young. "When Go Kyung-soo was an immature kid, people loved him because he was good at his work, but even after he became independent, he kept snooping around and it was so annoying."
I knew she was older because she was a witch, but it felt a little awkward to say something like that directly with such a young appearance.
Go Kyung-soo is in his early 40s. If he had helped Go Kyung-soo since he was a child, how old would Tudor be?
"Right."
"Now, let's talk about settlement soon, right? As mentioned before, the settlement amount is 120 million. There, the curtain call took 5,000 first, and the remaining 7,000 were taken. "Is there any difference of opinion?"
"Seven thousand. "There is no disagreement."
"Can I put it in your account like always?"
"huh."
The current account balance totals 180 million.
With this, my savings will be 250 million, and if you include the cash I have accumulated in my room, it will be roughly 300 million.
'I've never earned anything like this in the world before... … .'
"Just know that I stopped you from trying to chip away at the helistick."
"Was there such a story?"
"It's always like that when it comes to corporate requests. It's very convenient because all you have to do is trust me. "I'm not called a capable broker for nothing."
I accepted Tudor's self-praise in moderation.
"okay. "I wish you all the best in the future."
"good. By the way, how are you feeling? "Now I wish he would start working again."
"Slowly, how slowly?"
"Hehe… … "If I say right away, can you do it right away?"
"Speaking of that, it doesn't seem like there's anything that urgent?"
"Wow, you're quick-witted."
"If there was something urgent going on, you wouldn't have been hanging out with Go Kyung-soo."
"Well, that's right. Now, look at this, honey. "In general, it's okay to choose slowly because it's something you can afford in your schedule."
After saying that, Tudor slowly took out a thin folder and held it out.
When I glanced at the file, I saw a concise summary of the quests listed one by one on one or two pages. The documents organized in the folder appear to be approximately 100 pages long. Even if you count it generously and only have one quest per two pages, there are already 50 quests.
"There is quite a bit of content… … ?"
"There are so many things in Paju that can't be solved except by a wizard like you."
"Hmm."
Even at first glance, these are not easy tasks.
These are requests that have accumulated and accumulated as they have not been resolved for days or months. Like the abandoned hospital on Mt. Gamak that I visited last time, there are a series of incidents where other problem solvers or mercenary groups were rushed to and were wiped out.
"These are just difficult tasks."
"Of course, the compensation is certain. The very page you are looking at right now. In a case like that, if you can handle it cleanly, we guarantee you more than 1 billion won."
"That's interesting."
"Umm… … ."
Tudor suddenly paused, making a sound like a groan, and then spoke.
"Honey, wouldn't it be okay to be honest now?"
