Chapter 192: The Strong Man Who Plays the Flute in Seoul (1)
Laser test firing.
As expected of soone who shattered the Strongest Swords of the North, his cruelty and audacity pierced the sky.
“So… You’re going to test fire a laser in the heart of Seoul?”
When Oh Yeonhee spoke in disbelief, Yeongwoo’s gaze shifted to the sky.
“It’s better than doing it randomly in the downtown area. There are no people here, and no buildings left.”
“…”
Random downtown area.
Yeongwoo’s words sounded quite intimidating to the rest of the Strongest Swords.
Whether intentional or not, it sounded like a threat.
“Anyway, we have to shoot in advance. We need to know how laser bombardnt works so we can use it properly in battle.”
As Yeongwoo spoke calmly, Oh Yeonhee eventually retreated as if there was nothing she could do.
“Well, the laser that falls in Gwangjin-gu won’t reach Songpa anyway.”
Even if they didn’t like it, what could they do?
As everyone had seen, the Strongest Sword in front of them was powerful even without both legs.
Of course, if everyone in this place were to raise their swords and attack at the sa mont… even then victory couldn’t be guaranteed.
“Oh, and there’s one more thing I want to ntion.”
“…?”
As Yeongwoo paused for a mont, the Strongest Swords in the audience looked grim.
“What is it?”
“Another… what…”
Then Yeongwoo’s gaze turned northward.
“Last ti in Paju, you all rember, right? We had a big fight with those who ca from the north.”
“That… Yeongwoo started it and brought them here, right? It was certainly a big fight, but to put it so simply…”
Although Oh Yeonhee, representing the other Strongest Swords, threw a word of complaint, Yeongwoo redirected the conversation with even greater shock.
“Yes. So we decided to kill Kim Jong-un this ti. So of you probably already know.”
“…!”
“What, what did you say?”
Because Yeongwoo cut to the chase, even the Strongest Swords who participated in the inter-Korean war felt a chill in their hearts.
“Of course, if the Pyongyang Strongest Sword succeeds in defense, we won’t have the chance to et Kim Jong-un.”
Shrugging, Yeongwoo pointed to the sky again.
“But if the Pyongyang Strongest Sword fails to stop Kim Jong-un, there is a high probability that he will co down to Seoul.”
If that man appears in Seoul, is his purpose to accomplish what he couldn’t achieve during human warfare?
Who knows.
“…”
Ironically, at this mont, all the Strongest Swords’ gazes were fixed on the title above Yeongwoo’s head.
『Strongest Sword of Joseon』
Their secret technique, taken from the north, or rather stolen from the north.
Wasn’t the inter-Korean war because Jeong Yeongwoo went to North Korea alone and killed and stole the title?
‘So in the end, isn’t it because of you that Kim Jong-un might co?’
‘Did you think you could rob North Korean martial arts and get away with it?’
‘Is he crazy, seriously?’
Although everyone thought so inwardly while looking at the problematic title, they didn’t express it out loud.
And neither did Yeongwoo.
“Since North Korea’s affairs are ultimately my business, I have no intention of sharing responsibility with you. However.”
Swiftly.
Yeongwoo pointed to the sky again.
“If I happen to fight and lose to Kim Jong-un, you will be in danger too, right? So please sincerely cooperate with the distribution of karma points and bounty rewards.”
“…”
In conclusion, it was a request, no, another threat.
“Okay, then which region should we start from? “Let’s go sprinkle so golden rain!”
* * *
Currently, Yeongwoo possesses a total of 8 spheres.
And the origin of each sphere is.
‘Yongsan, Mapo, Dongdaemun, Seongbuk, Dobong, Eunpyeong, Gwangjin-gu. The last one fell when Im Kwangho died.’
Chaebol Im Kwangho.
It was impossible to know from which area he flew back as a Dragon.
Therefore, it was possible that special types of variants like dragons could appear regardless of their affiliation to specific regions.
‘It’s still just a hypothesis… but it’s the only one for now.’
So at the mont, Yeongwoo could autonomously use only two spheres.
The remaining six had to be used to sprinkle the golden rain in each region.
‘But since I fought Im Kwangho today and used the sphere that ca out in Gangnam… I should use the sphere obtained from him in Gangnam.’
In that case, only one sphere remained.
‘The best scenario would be to use the sphere when Kim Jong-un dies to break the record and use the sphere he left behind to enter the night dungeon…’
Actually, this was a very bad idea.
There were only two ways for Yeongwoo to et Kim Jong-un.
One, to attack Pyongyang every day until Kim Jong-un appears.
Two, for the Pyongyang Strongest Sword to lose to Kim Jong-un.
Whatever the case, it wasn’t a particularly desirable scenario ethically.
‘Anyway, I have quite a bit to do right now, so I need to focus on building my foundation.’
With this thought in mind, Yeongwoo reached out to a goblin opening an extradinsional pouch attached to Negwig’s leg.
Swiftly.
The creature pulled out a golden sphere from the pouch and handed it to Yeongwoo.
– Keet!
Current ti: 2:13 PM.
The area Yeongwoo was looking at while riding Negwig was Dongdaemun, under the jurisdiction of Jang Jeongho.
Being adjacent to Gwangjin-gu, it was chosen as the starting point for sprinkling the golden rain.

The order was Dongdaemun, Yongsan, Mapo, Eunpyeong, Seongbuk, Dobong.
Then, if ti permitted, Yeongwoo planned to investigate the situation in Yangju, the forr jurisdiction of Choi Jongseon, and the ownerless city of Uijeongbu.
And then.
‘Then return to Gangnam and scatter the golden rain.’
As Yeongwoo reviewed his ambitious plan and touched the sphere lifted by the goblin, the sphere shot up into the sky as usual.
Whoosh!
Then.
Boom…!
Exploding like fireworks at the edge of the sky, it pushed out waves of golden light in all directions.
“It’s always amazing to see.”
“Ah…”
The Strongest Swords lined up behind Yeongwoo exclaid in admiration, their pupils filled with golden light.
These were the Strongest Swords from the areas Yeongwoo had chosen to sprinkle the golden rain, from Dongdaemun to Eunpyeong.
“Alright, that’s enough. Next is Yongsan.”
As Yeongwoo said this amidst the falling rain, Jang Jeongho, the Strongest Sword of Dongdaemun, asked with his palm covered in gold.
“When and where should we send the money?”
It was a statent that inevitably hurt the pride of a Strongest Sword, so Jang Jeongho’s expression was deeply creased.
To this, Yeongwoo, after checking the ti, replied in a gentle tone.
“You can bring it to my accommodation before 10 p.m. You don’t necessarily have to co in person.”
But since it was a considerable amount of money, it was usually the Strongest Sword who would co to deliver it.
That’s why Yeongwoo gave them ample ti.
“…Alright. I’ll send soone to Gwanak later to request personnel.”
“Yes. That’s good.”
As Yeongwoo nodded, Jang Jeongho disappeared amidst the golden rain, mumbling.
From now on, he would essentially be going around asking for bribes from his own regional residents.
And the remaining five Strongest Swords watching him didn’t feel particularly comfortable.
Soon, it would be their turn to do the sa.
“Where did I say was next?”
After watching Jang Jeongho’s back for a while, Yeongwoo looked around the audience and asked, and Kim Doha, the Strongest Sword of Yongsan, quietly raised his hand.
“…Yongsan.”
“Ah, Yongsan. Since there are governnt employees there, it should be much easier.”
“Yes… I suppose.”
“Then let’s go right away.”
* * *
The peculiar journey of Jeong Yeongwoo and the five Strongest Swords.
The procedure was the sa for each area.
When Yeongwoo moved to the next area with two slaves riding Negwig, the Strongest Swords followed closely behind.
Sotis, after dealing with monsters, monster handlers or ordinary citizens who were adept at cleanup would follow behind as well.
Upon arrival in the area, Yeongwoo would shoot the sphere into the air to create the golden rain.
As they repeated this golden rain operation three more tis, what remained behind Yeongwoo was only one strong candidate, Kim Jeonggu, who was also the Strongest Sword of Dobong.
“Hey, haven’t your legs grown a lot in the anti?”
Jeonggu from behind suddenly spoke, prompting Yeongwoo to bow his head and examine his legs.
Indeed, the two legs hanging from Negwig’s sides had grown considerably, as Jeonggu had observed.
Now, the shape of the shinbone was sowhat visible.
However, the most important part for walking, the feet, had not yet ford their skeletal structure completely, so it would take quite so ti for full recovery.
‘It doesn’t take long for the severed parts to reattach, but it takes quite a while for the lted-away parts to grow back.’
As Yeongwoo thought of this obvious fact while looking at his legs, Jeonggu spoke again.
“But, there’s sothing I want to talk about.”
“…?”
“Actually, there’s sothing I need to confess.”
“Yes?”
At this unexpected conversation, Yeongwoo turned his upper body around to look back, and there he saw Jeonggu taking out a handful of coins from his pocket.
“What’s this?”
“Monsters. You know there were monsters in Gwangjin-gu.”
“Ah.”
“Since you seed preoccupied, I took care of it too.”
Here, “I took care of it too” ant not only Jeonggu but also the other Strongest Swords present there had picked up the coins.
So, he chose the expression “confessing” to refer to this.
“…It’s really a confession.”
“It’s not a small amount of money when you add it all up… I didn’t think you would know. That’s why I’m confessing.”
At Jeonggu’s words, Yeongwoo chuckled.
Of course, he knew that the monsters also gave coins.
So, when everything was settled, and there were no coins left in the area, he could guess that soone had collected them.
“Did everyone pick them up? The coins on the ground.”
“Uh, what’s her na… Oh Yeonhee from Songpa probably didn’t pick them up?”
This refers to Songpa Strongest Sword Oh Yeonhee.
In other words, except for her, the others were hastily picking up the coins scattered on the ground while Yeongwoo was busy fighting the dragon.
“It seems the protection money of ten million was quite a concern.”
“Yesterday, you said it wasn’t protection money, right?”
“Anyway, it’s done. As long as everyone shares it, it doesn’t matter.”
Seeing Yeongwoo unexpectedly showing rcy, Jeonggu even chuckled.
“Hey, what’s going on all of a sudden? You said you’d collect money regardless of the ans and thods from now on?”
In response, Yeongwoo ford a gun shape with his index finger and thumb and smiled.
“It gives them so breathing room before I start taking money in earnest.”
“…What?”
“Once the Laser Canon is completed, I plan to ask for defence funds. I think I can get it today.”
