My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 254
#254
closed dimension (3)
Hubert Chamber of Commerce and Industry owner's office.
“···Then, we will handle the mineral distribution matter as you said, Mr..”
“Okay, is that the end of the matter to be reported??”
“yes That's all that's urgent right now. Do you have any additional instructions??”
After finishing her work report, Diana tilted her head as she gathered the approved documents..
Hair neatly organized and braided in one place and neat, formal attire..
Now, no matter where you look at her, she has grown into an excellent secretary..
“No, that's enough. If something else comes up, I'll call you then..”
“Ah yes! Then I'll just leave..”
“If it is not an important issue, take action on your own and report it later. Because I want to focus on myself for a moment today.”
“all right!”
Holding a load of documents in her arms, she bowed her head and walked out of the office with cautious steps..
sweet—
The door closed and Hubert was left alone..
He leaned back against the back of his chair with a small, satisfied smile on his lips and slowly stroked his chin..
‘Are you saying that he is very capable? Since most things were taken care of, work became easier. My fault is that I'm still young and lack experience, but that's true for me too. No, I think it's actually much better than me..’
In fact, Hubert's wealth was nothing special..
The financial power, force, power, and information through other avatars were very fraudulent, and a certain amount of luck was added to that to get to where he is now..
On the other hand, Diana's talent was real..
Isn’t this a ‘genius talent’ guaranteed by the ‘Analysis’ skill??
‘It's still at that level, but if you give me the right information,···.’
Those who knew nothing were busy expressing admiration for Hubert's foresight based on superior information, but Diana, who took over as his secretary, had a different reaction..
Not only did Harris arrive at the conclusion he reached after much deliberation based solely on intuition, but he also instantly grasped the intent behind his short instructions and suggested a more efficient plan..
‘Since appointing Diana as secretary, work efficiency has definitely improved tremendously. Plus, the reliability is perfect..’
He was a talent who, if given the right push, would raise the status of Hubert Trading Company by several levels..
At first, I was only interested in the sense of smell, but I became satisfied, as if I had seen the stock I bought without thinking increase several times more..
‘Then, Diana will take care of most of the things, so I'll just focus on this..’
Work he wanted to do on his own.
It had nothing to do with the company.
To be more precise, it wasn't even related to this world as it is now..
patter — patter!
A pile of books from the subspace magic tool hanging on Hubert's wrist were piled up to the side..
At the same time, a faint ink scent spread out..
From one to ten, they were books from another world, made and bound in a style not seen in this world, and filled with unknown characters, starting from the covers..
In this way, all the things that had been delivered and stored separately in the “Avatar Cloud” were taken out, and when he was finally ready, he picked up the book on the top of them and immediately used “Analysis”..
-The German text of Cheolgoebang classified as Sapa. When practiced in parallel with external exercises, energy circulates throughout the body's cells, encouraging physical growth and making the body as hard as steel. In the future, it will be advantageous to generate energy through the body, but it has the disadvantage of making it more difficult to grow beyond a certain level..
-Overall Grade: C-
-Main characteristics: somewhat low learning difficulty, fast growth rate, high external attack proficiency, somewhat low internal attack proficiency, low growth limit
‘That's a mess.’
Hubert fluttered through the pages and glanced at the contents, then shook his head and moved it to the opposite seat..
It may be helpful in quickly raising practitioners to a level where they can be used appropriately, but such clumsy abilities are not something he really needs..
Then his hands moved busily..
Starting with Eoryongchae, the books obtained by combing through a large number of watercolors and rice seedlings located in Dongdong Lake were classified one by one according to their inclination and utility..
‘Hmm, indeed... The proportion of martial artists from the political faction is also very high.?’
It collapsed in vain after its home base was attacked defenselessly by Harris, who could be said to be an Irregular. As expected, the power of a force that was counted among the top three in a province was formidable..
In the process of expanding their power, the number of non-level officials who appear to have been stolen from surrounding minor political factions was considerable..
‘Wow, were my expectations for this too high?.’
But unfortunately, the level was generally mediocre..
Until now, the only martial arts skills he has earned are three or four, including 'Gyoryongdobeop (A-)' and 'Gyeongpaakrangsimgyeol (A)', which he stole from Jin Deok-man, the owner of Dongseongsib8chae. dog is everything.
The number of non-grade items looted and collected by the bandits was well over a hundred, but most of them were worthless items of D grade or lower..
‘Ugh, that's what thieves do. Somehow, the kids were so poor, it seems like it was all just a bubble..’
Hubert frowned slightly at that and sighed..
The fact that those bandits were a huge force that dominated the surrounding area had already disappeared from my mind..
Anyway, it was true that he wasn't satisfied..
While I was continuing to work with the mindset that at least one thing would catch me..
His hand went to an old book that was so worn out that it didn't even have a title on the cover.—.
“hmm? This?”
The moment he checked its details, his eyes opened wide..
-A world-class secret containing the secret wish to deal with the eight statues known to represent all phenomena in the world. If we pursue endless harmony with all things in heaven and earth and achieve unity, we will be able to interfere in the material world based on infinite internal energy. It is extremely difficult to learn because it requires not only ignorance, but also philosophy and deep inquiry into all things..
-Overall grade: S
-Key features: Very high difficulty to learn, slow growth rate, somewhat high external attack proficiency, very high internal attack proficiency, very high growth limit
A martial arts skill that was judged to be S-class had popped out..
‘···This really comes out?’
In fact, I grumbled in dissatisfaction, but in the process of examining and classifying the classes, I realized something..
The grade determined by the “Analysis” skill is very narrow..
Based on that standard, if the overall grade was C level, it was treated as a rare disciple or a rare disciple in small and medium-sized factions, and A grade was no different from one of the few visions even in the large gate faction..
‘Excluding the Heavenly Demon Emperor, the martial arts skills learned by those from the Kangwhan world that Hans faced would be at least B grade..’
So, I thought that you would have to be at the level of a famous world-class magic, such as the commonly called ‘Heavenly Demon Magic,’ to be judged S-level or higher.···.
To be honest, I was going to be satisfied with just a usable A+ grade, but this was more than I expected..
‘This isn't even owned by the general creditor. I can't believe there was something like this stuffed in the warehouse of a criminal leader..’
No matter how worn the cover is, there is no way that a person who has learned martial arts would not recognize the value of such an item..
With that uneasy feeling, he opened the booklet and looked at the contents inside.—.
I soon realized why this wasn't getting enough attention and why it was being treated like that..
-The positions of heaven and earth are determined, the energy of mountains and ponds flows, thunder and wind collide, and fire and fire do not shoot at each other, so the eight trigrams come together.···
-Qian (乾) becomes the head, Kun (坤) becomes the stomach, Jin (震) becomes the feet, and ··· becomes the legs. Gam (坎) becomes the ears, Lee (離) becomes the eyes, Liver (艮) becomes the hands, and Tae (兌) becomes the mouth.···.
‘What are you talking about?.’
The corner of Hubert's mouth twisted as he quietly turned the pages of a book..
In other classes, there was a hint of an effort to explain difficult content as much as possible, but this one was just full of blatant nonsense..
It's old and not in very good storage condition, so some of the letters have become unrecognizable..
I don't know how the leader of the bandit got his hands on this, but he probably read a few pages and then immediately threw it away..
At least because it included diagrams of the human body and drawings that could only be found in military books, it could have been put on a bookshelf that was reserved for high-ranking officials..
‘Even the A-level ones weren't this difficult..’
After flipping through the book several times, Hubert read it seriously from the beginning again..
Kang Hwan-gye's characters that made up the content could be immediately understood through 「Xenoglossi」, but in order to properly learn this martial art, it was necessary to understand the implications inherent therein..
‘As for the memories of other martial arts returnees... yes, they are better than nothing. By the way, this isn’t some kind of code decryption..’
Still, there were many memories worth referencing, so I thought I could fully interpret it if I just invested time..
It would have been better if his memories of the Heavenly Demon Emperor, who could be said to be the greatest martial artist he had ever encountered, were intact.···.
“···No, wait.”
But then, a thought suddenly passed through his mind..
The direction and possibility of a skill change depending on how the user uses it, and the limit of the ability developed in this way also varies depending on the level of proficiency..
‘If you use this well,.’
Xenoglossy, a superpower that allows you to escape all language-related restrictions」.
And, “Analysis,” a skill that shows excellent utility in understanding something through upward compatibility with “Emotion.”」.
Without hesitation, he activated both skills at the same time and poured all his mental power into them..
‘This is the first harvest from Kang Hwan-gye. I guess I'll just have to do everything I can.’
I went to another dimension thinking I might be able to get something at best, but wouldn't it be so unsightly to leave here??
As he poured out all his spare mental resources, “nervousness” activated and his thinking accelerated endlessly..
Tsutsu side—
My brain was spinning furiously, burning endless energy..
The connection between “Analysis” and “Xenogloss,” which was monotonous at first, gradually became stronger, and the meaning contained within it, not just the meaning of the context, began to be vaguely felt..
The author's intention in the sentence was identified, the crushed words were inferred, and the overall sentence was inferred..
However, this was still not enough..
‘Okay, let's see this through to the end..’
Hubert took a refreshing drink of the bottle of elixir of VIP market growth that was already in his hands and resumed his work..
As the price began to rise, the progress of the work began to increase at a frightening rate..
‘This condition lasts for 7 days.?’
But it won't take until the 7th to finish this job..
After about half a day of digging through difficult sentences as if cracking a code,—.
《The entity has achieved enlightenment by achieving the condition. Acquire the skill “Code Interpretation”.》
As soon as I acquired a new skill, the work that had been going on so tightly was suddenly blown away..
***
“Hehehehehe—.”
With a deep breath, the surrounding energy was sucked into Harris' lungs..
Due to the characteristics of the high elf race and the affinity that reached transcendence, the energy of nature, which had been semi-forced, was conforming to his will much more naturally than before..
‘Right. I think I know what it feels like..’
Harris, who had taken the time to become more familiar with the energy of this world according to the laws of Kang Hwan-gye, slowly nodded..
Hubert's newly acquired "cipher interpretation" grew rapidly under the influence of the leap right after its creation, and naturally the interpretation work gained further momentum..
In addition, the result was immediately verified by Harris, a member of the Gangwan community, which in turn helped Hubert's analysis, leading to a virtuous cycle..
‘Muyu Bagua Secret... I think this would go quite well with Harris..’
During this visit, I only tried to prepare the groundwork so that I could settle down and increase my influence in the future, but it seemed like I gained more than I expected..
It's not clear because the interpretation of the big level hasn't been completed yet, but if you can learn it clearly and harmonize it with the existing power,···.
‘How much synergy is there? Maybe with that, you can overcome the wall that's blocking your path now..’
Harris already knew.
The moment he crossed the wall with the help of the divine being called the World Tree, he realized that he had already reached the limit of his growth..
Of course, it was the best at the time, and transcending was proof that he had become one of the strongest in the world, but when things turned out like this, I couldn't help but feel disappointed..
‘For now, just knowing there is a possibility is enough.’
During his visit at the right time, he came across the opportunity he needed..
I'm still not sure if this is just a coincidence or if there is some other reason.···.
I decided to think about it later.
“···I will ask you again. What business have you come to this family's territory??”
Now, there were a lot of warriors with a lot of energy, each aiming at him with their drawn weapons..
About a day after leaving Dongdongho.
Harris had arrived at his target, the Zhuge family in Yongzhong Mountain..
