chapter 341

Apart from turning Zolaman and other PhDs into graduate students, this was a new challenge for me as well.
Originally, I hated this.
But time seems to change people.
[You’re collaborating on an experiment because you’re nice, aren’t you actually a test subject?]
“You can see it that way.”
[But why… … .]
“I’m just curious.”
[what?]
“I want to see what level of power I have reached.”
Humans have long been systematizing numbers, analyzing and preparing based on these numbers, and making progress.
I used to think of such quantifications negatively, but with the help of Zolaman and friends, I changed my mind.
The point is that there is no need to think negatively about leaving an objective number about me.
By looking at those numbers objectively, I was able to see how far I have reached the current level and how far I can go in the future.
[Is this a means to become stronger after all? Does it matter if information is passed in the process?]
“Have you seen them come up with countermeasures when a two-horned monster appears?”
Of course, there is a possibility of misjudging that the attack is easier than that, as there is a human limit.
Then it’s good for me You need to clean it regularly to prevent dust from accumulating.
[Are you comparing yourself to a two-horned monster?]
“That’s what the comparison group is like. Aren’t you stronger?”
[You don’t know what people do.]
“Can you understand the work of the gods?”
[Well, you should be compared to someone stronger than a two-horned monster.]
I wondered how much power I had here, and the most important thing was whether or not I had a gift to hold onto them.
The research institute that I requested and jointly created with Hankuk University was equipped with the latest equipment to the extent that it was called a Mecca for Awakened Research.
As if he had bought a new toy for a child, his eyes twinkled and he went straight into the experiment. And I went straight to the research I was talking about.
“So far, awareness of the gift has been a useful tool for the Awakened, and that’s just about it.”
After doing some analysis on me, Zolaman explained the history of the gift.
“But there have been a few instances where the gift went in a different direction against the will of the user. This has entangled users and has provided a path for the better. Aren’t you excited? Here we are thinking differently. Maybe the gift belongs to the will of the user and moves as he is told, and there is a question about whether there is a will that is unique to the gift.”
And through countless cases, doubt led to certainty.
“But there is something to be suspicious of here. Do users and gifts really give and receive feedback in both directions? Or is it a one-sided relationship?”
The jollaman, who had spoken up to there, sighed.
I wasted time on the part I was already curious about, so I rushed him.
“So what is the answer?”
“I don’t know that yet!”
Are you kidding me now?
“Because there was no case for the higher awakened to respond to the experiment. Even if I experimented with myself right now, I wasn’t the type of person who benefited from the excellent gift. So Junho’s cooperation is so welcome. The cooperation of the world’s strongest awakened people will be of great help!”
Zolaman’s eyes were drenched in madness.
It is a visual that makes people want to run away when they see it.
“Besides, if this research pays off and can artificially untie the gift bond, it could have a huge effect!”
“What effect?”
“There are many potential gift candidates for humans! But it cannot be set by the user. So, a gift is said to be a one-sided gift. But what if you could give up that gift and wait for another one? Awakened people can wait for a better gift!”
Of course, there is no guarantee that the gift you will get next will be good.
Zolaman spoke as if he was talking about something innovative, but it didn’t really impress me.
Because copying and deleting gifts was routine for me, and opening other people’s gifts can also be detected by ingesting blood.
“Can I do that?”
“uh?”
“I can.”
“Gee, really?”
“It wasn’t that difficult.”
It might be disappointing if I pretend to be such a great discovery.
Apart from that, Zolaman floundered, saying it was a great discovery. But it wasn’t a big discovery for me, so I passed it on right away.
Zolaman said while taking a deep breath with a gloomy expression on his face.
“There has been a lot of discussion about whether the solidarity of the gift that has been made so far is two-way or one-way. And our tentative conclusion was that it was a one-way street. But after seeing Junho, I changed my mind.”
“How did you change when you saw me?”
“Limited two-way! And as far as the gift has a choice, the user may not be attributed to the gift.”
This meant that the influence of the gift could deviate from the absolute value of the user’s will.
“Then it means that there is little chance that I will be influenced by that gift.”
“That’s not right.”
“why?”
“Gift has been with the user for a long time, and there are many aspects that match the user. That gift will soon become a user. In this case, it is difficult to break the bond with the gift, and if you try to untie it, there is a high probability that it will cause great damage to the user.”
That said, the damage would be great as long as they had been with blood feeding for a long time.
The hematoma was more likely to know this. And he told me that my destiny and I were one.
At the time, I resigned after seeing the damage returned to me, but according to Zolaman, it was because of the high assimilation rate with me.
“Does it sound like you can take it apart if you’re willing to take a lot of damage?”
“right. And we have to study that part.”
“great.”
That was the part I wanted. Hematoma This guy is triumphant that he has survived taking me hostage, but once the secrets are uncovered, the next step becomes easier.
“Let’s go straight to the experiment.”
“How far can I go?”
“Do whatever you can.”
* * *
He was confident that removing the hematoma was only a matter of time, but the experiment was sluggish.
The Zolaman said this was entirely my fault.
“No, it’s because Junho is out of the scope of human thinking!”
That’s because he’s made all sorts of bizarre attempts to widen the bowl to control the rush of recklessly accepted gifts. Right before I went crazy, I mobilized all means to avoid going crazy.
After becoming a hematoma, he had to give up a part of his human life in order to survive.
I didn’t realize it, but when I think of it like this, I’ve lived a life that has surpassed the limits of human beings many times.
“This force amplification is an act of destroying the body without inflicting damage on it!”
“But if you want to kill an enemy, you have to risk it. When dealing with an enemy of this size, if you don’t suppress it in a short period of time, you can be surrounded and captured with exhausted strength. In order to do that, it is important to give surprise by amplifying the force and use your carelessness to catch them quickly.”
“What is the load on the body?”
“You have to endure the pain, and for recovery, you can eat the blood and flesh of monsters. Of course, it is effective when eaten raw. This is pretty well known information, isn’t it?”
The blood and flesh of monsters have the effect of increasing human recovery ability.
“Anyway, no one uses such an ignorant method!”
Well, it turns the listener into an ignorant person.
Well, if I wasn’t in a position to be pursued, I wouldn’t have done that crazy thing.
“If you want to try it, try it because it works well. Can you be like me?”
“… I’m not like Junho. This is not for humans to do.”
“You want to be strong like me? And aren’t you the epitome of human victory? Then I think you can do this. is not it?”
Slowly, the atmosphere began to change.
The eyes of the doctors all gathered at Zolaman at once.
There was an unspoken compulsion in his eyes.
“Uh, uh! Why are you looking at me like that?”
“I thought Junho’s request was good. I know that taking the blood and flesh of monsters is effective, but if you take it for a long time, you can go beyond the limits of humans. Interesting.”
Of course, instead of consuming only the blood and flesh of monsters, the body must be periodically broken and torn.
“Eric! Does it make sense to push me like this for your experiment?”
“What is it? Can America’s superhuman macho man get stronger and we can get experimental data? You said you could do anything for an experiment? Then just accept it.”
“Aww!”
There were no colleagues or anything in front of the experiment. The moment it sees a gap, it’s prey.
“Jun Ho! Help me!”
Seeing the eyes of his mad colleagues, the chaotic man asked me for help.
I’m not sure why you think I’ll help.
“Isn’t it better to have two subjects than one?”
“Are you really like this? Are you forsaking me?”
“Even the blood and flesh of monsters are edible… … .”
I was going to say something out of my mouth, but I couldn’t keep up because I remembered the moment I ate the blood and flesh of monsters when I was a heirloom.
Well, no matter how much I ate, I didn’t get used to it.
“Honestly, the taste isn’t great, but if you put up with it, you can eat it. Oh, by the way, you have to eat it raw without detoxification.”
“Do, poison! There’s poison! But how do you eat it!”
“When you eat, you develop tolerance. Most of them will eat it and die, but if you endure it, you will develop poison tolerance. You know how good this is, right?”
“Because I don’t need it! Eric! Christensen! Ballmer! Please help me! No matter how good an experiment is, you are doing it too much!”
“It’s not serious.”
“Yes, Christensen! I have only you!”
With a glimmer of hope, Zolaman looked at Dr. Christensen and hung on.
Among them, I thought it was common sense, but in my opinion, that person is that person. There is a difference between 10001 and 10000 numerically, but it is also true that there is not much difference.
Dr. Christensen placed his arms on Zolaman’s shoulders.
“But if you sacrifice yourself, we can achieve innovative research results. James! Let’s close our eyes and try this experiment! Success can make you stronger!”
I might die before then. Hell, even if he’s weak, he’s a superhuman, so he won’t die easily from the poison of a monster.
Whether I thought this or not, I felt that it was impossible to persuade those who had already turned their eyes to experiments.
“… … .”
Sensing the dark future, Zolaman tightly closed his eyes.
It’s self-sufficient.

Junho Choi is back.
It was he who collaborated on the experiment, but it was James Reed who was tattered.
It’s been a while since I trembled in a sense of betrayal.
Data on Choi Jun-ho was gradually accumulating.
And they realized what it meant to be different.
Abandoning their playfulness, they began to analyze data on Choi Jun-ho.
“Does this number make sense?”
“I can’t believe it even when I see it.”
“Is this power in the human body?”
An unimaginable number lay in front of them.
