“Kwuwueeeeeek!!!”
“Speak in Korean, you Xxxers!”
Ho Chang, wearing the Armored Suit, grabbed the jaws of the insectoid monster biting his arm. Then, with incredible force, he tore the insect’s head apart.
“Take this!”
Ho Chang’s next move was to grab the head of the winged insectoid, which was trying to insert its sharp stinger through the gaps in his armor like a wasp and shove it into the mouth of the ant-like insectoid charging at him like crazy.
“You little bugs!”
Then, he delivered an uppercut, sending both heads flying into the air. It was a continuous attack that took no more than 1 to 2 seconds on average to defeat one enemy, but Ho Chang’s expression under his Armored Suit wasn’t particularly pleasant.
The number of monsters was increasing at a faster rate than he could defeat them, and unlike in the early stages of the battle, these different monsters, which couldn’t even make a scratch on Ho Chang’s Armored Suit, were now gradually causing minor damage to his super-tough suit.
‘Is this what the Captain meant by evolution...?’
At first, it was enjoyable. While the enemy splattered everywhere with sticky green bodily fluids when defeated, it was quite cathartic to fight these bug-like enemies while wearing a gigantic Armored Suit reminiscent of the Hulk Buster.
What was most enjoyable was that, unlike the monsters that looked like they could tear tanks to pieces with ease, Ho Chang himself didn’t take any damage.
Soo-jeong’s Lifting Suit, which had completely sacrificed mobility and focused solely on durability and power, was showing the dignity of being able to ignore even the attacks of insectoid monsters that could cut through 12-inch steel plates like tofu.
It felt like playing a game with an invincibility cheat code.
However, the situation of one enemy dying and two more appearing, and then killing two and having ten more rush in, was enough to make even Ho Chang, who was invincible, feel frustrated.
Moreover, the ‘evolution’ of these monsters, which grew stronger over time as they adapted to the combat situation and was becoming more formidable, was one of the factors that added to Ho Chang’s growing impatience.
“Ka-aaang!”
After numerous attacks, Ho Chang finally grabbed the head of an monster that had left a long scratch on his armor and examined its teeth closely.
The upper and lower jaws of this monster, divided vertically like giant scissors, had sharp metal teeth that couldn’t possibly be considered biological.
“Metal?”Witness the debut of this chapter, unveiled through Ñôv€l--B1n.
In response to Soo-jeong’s question, who was sharing Ho Chang’s point of view through the camera attached to the Armored Suit, Myung-jun answered.
“One of the characteristics of the Insect-type Gates is their rapid adaptability. It’s a bit different from the Water-type Gates where Night Stalkers appear.”
“What’s the difference?”
“In the case of beast-type monster like Stalkers, if their attacks don’t work on their opponents, they undergo a complete evolution of their bodies. It’s like changing their form. They might change from close combat to long-range combat, or suddenly develop wings. On the other hand, the monsters from Gates mainly inhabited by insect-type entities, like the insect-type Gates, tend not to change their overall form but modify their physical traits. For instance, their teeth might become tougher, or the durability of their exoskeleton increases.”
“Oh? So, does that mean weapons modified with reinforced coatings become useless?”
“Senior, you seem to have forgotten something. This is a Rank 3 Gate. Reinforced coatings are designed to counter Rank 1 monsters. Perhaps, IF the Gate we’ve entered is not a Rank 3 Gate, but a Rank 1 Gate, Ho Chang or Byung-tae could have cleared it without struggling.”
“Ah, right. So, can civilians armed with wire coated weapons handle up to Rank 2 Gates at most?”
“Is it because of the structure?”
“That’s part of it, but, well. Myung-jun, as you know, only comrades approved by you can enter the test chamber in the Sub-Space. You know that, right?”
Myung-jun nodded, and Soo-jeong continued her explanation.
“But, Myung-jun, you can only have a maximum of five comrades. That’s the number of people you can exclude from the count. So, you’ll only have room for two more people. That means we need to be more careful when recruiting new members. It’s not a matter of loyalty or affection but for the sake of awakening.” This was an issue that Myung-jun could relate to.
Considering that the ability to produce Armored Suit for defense was unlocked when Ho Chang, an expert in martial arts, joined and the ability to produce armored vehicles was unlocked when Byung-tae, a skilled driver, joined, it could be seen that the functions to be unlocked next would depend on the talents or abilities of the new recruits.
“So, when it comes to new clan members, even if we take our time to decide, if your plan goes as expected, the number of requests for joining the clan will be enormous. Not only from the Korean government but from governments worldwide who would want to use powerful Awakener forces they can pay for. That’s why I think we should categorize the incoming clan members into three ranks.”
“How would that work?”
“Officers, Field, and Support,” Soo-jeong explained. Officers would be core members who shared Myung-jun’s name, and their selection would go through extensive verification among all clan members. The Field members would be chosen from Awakeners worldwide who could be scouted.
By offering substantial rewards and benefits such as the provision of powerful equipment and support for the growth of existing clan members, they could entice many Awakeners who wanted to steadily improve their abilities.
Lastly, they would recruit ordinary people with skills that could assist clan activities, such as administrative tasks, marketing, sales, and information gathering, as Support members. Among these, if anyone wanted, they could provide an opportunity for those individuals to become Awakener by giving them a chance to participate in gate conquests under the protection of existing Awakener members.
This was the detailed plan of Soo-jeong, and to successfully establish this structure, a new clan headquarters building that satisfied all of Myung-jun’s requirements was necessary.
“The new clan headquarters will serve as a training ground for Field members and will also conduct ability tests for Awakeners supporting clan entry. However, with the current durability of the buildings on the list, we won’t be able to withstand attacks launched by Awakeners at full power. Furthermore, the weight of many research equipment that I want to place in the headquarters will be too much for these buildings to handle. Therefore, the new building needs to be designed to support much greater loads than the limits set by construction regulations.”
“But such a building isn’t on the list, right?”
“Correct. That’s why I wanted to prioritize this with the points we have. What do you think, Myung-jun?”
Soo-jeong turned on her tablet and showed it to Myung-jun, who was now sitting up and examining the tablet.
The shape of the robot displayed on the tablet was “very” familiar to him.
“Isn’t this... an SCV (Space Construction Vehicle)?”
“You might think that, but unfortunately, it’s not. Unlike the ‘one’ in StarCraft, this one isn’t even operated by humans, and it’s not even designed for space.”
She scrolled up to reveal the equipment’s name. It had only one word changed from SCV, almost like a pun.
“This equipment is called PCV, or you could say, Planet Construction Vehicle. It’s similar to the SCV from StarCraft but not the same. With this, you can input blueprints, and it can instantly build the desired building like a 3D printer.”
“So, you’re saying... we should create robots like this SCV, or rather, PCV, and use them to build the clan headquarters? In the middle of Sejong City?”
At that moment, a commotion would break out among the crowds gathering to witness the spectacle.
Massive robots that appeared to come from a future world rapidly constructing buildings as if by magic.
“Are you suggesting that, in a world where the existence of Awakeners has been known for less than two months, we should perform a performance that publicly reveals my abilities to the entire world? And not only that, we should undertake a crazy feat like building the clan headquarters with over a dozen SCVs? A spectacle where I proudly proclaim, ‘I am the Awakener of South Korea!'”?
However, instead of imagining how chaotic it would be with thousands of citizens trying to capture the moment with their phones, Myung-jun seemed to be pleased with that seemingly foolish idea.
“I like it. Let’s do it right away.”
And so, the moment was confirmed to be the top priority ability to be unlocked in this Gate Conquest: the development of robots like the SCV, which symbolized the Terran race of humans from the PC game StarCraft, was determined.
