‘It’s good that I followed you.’
Following Ma Chun-hwa was an excellent choice.
He guided me to the Triad’s ‘Gold Storage’.
At first glance, this place looks like an ordinary temple, but there are snipers in ambush all over the place.
You can feel their presence through ＜Detection＞.
After strengthening his eyesight with the elixir, he looked around and found that several guard posts surrounding the temple were equipped with machine guns as well as bazookas and portable anti-aircraft missiles.
It was at a level that could withstand attacks from tanks and helicopters.
The reason for having a high level of defense that could stand up to the army was obvious.
It is said that the amount of gold bars hidden in the temple is enormous.
If this place is discovered, they are even prepared to go to war with the local troops.
‘How many did you collect?’
My mouth was already salivating at the thought of absorbing the huge amount of gold bars they were risking their lives to protect.
But don’t make the mistake of being excited.
Let’s never let our guard down until we absorb all of their gold.
It’s the most heartbreaking thing to do when you miss a big fish right in front of you.
Ssuk-
First, I took off my motorcycle helmet.
Snipers are watching me with telephoto lenses.
If I kept covering my face with my helmet, it was obvious that they would suspect me of an intruder.
＜Control＞ is exercised only within the reach of my voice.
I can’t control snipers tens of meters away at will.
In their eyes, I should be seen as a guest, not an intruder.
If they notice anything strange, they’ll shoot me right away.
Of course, I won’t die from their sniping.
But if I don’t die, bombs and missiles will rain in the end.
Never make things that big.
My goal is not to destroy them, but to steal their gold.
I took off my helmet and put it on my side.
Now I had the face of a middle-aged man completely different from my original face.
It wasn’t like using ‘transformation magic’.
It was a silicone mask.
In spy movies, there are often scenes in which the main character disguises himself in a silicone mask to deceive the enemy.
Wearing a presidential mask to cheat on the secretary, wearing a husband mask to cheat on the wife.
However, such things only exist in movies, and in real life, such elaborate masks cannot be made yet.
Silicone masks sold at around 100,000 won in Internet shopping malls cannot fool others.
The mask I’m wearing now was a high-quality mask custom-made by a 3D printing company.
It was used by burn patients who wanted to cover up facial scars or by celebrities who wanted to go out unnoticed.
It’s not perfect like the mask in the movie, but it’s barely noticeable unless you look closely.
This was enough to fool the snipers who were looking at me through the lens at a distance.
These masks were made through a Japanese company as there is no manufacturer in Korea yet.
It is a company that President Park has been dealing with since the days of the secret agency.
He purchased this mask in the name of a homeless Japanese person.
So even if someone finds out the manufacturer of the mask, my identity will never be revealed.
By the way, if you’re learning the magic that allows you to change your face at will, you won’t need props like this.
I am receiving 3 magical knowledge every day, but ＜transformation＞ magic has not yet appeared.
‘It will come out someday.’
The monk entered the temple.
After that, Ma Cheonhwa followed me.
Upon entering, the yard was very large.
I followed the monk and headed to a building that looked like Daeungjeon.
I had to walk 50 meters to the building.
I used the elixir to enhance my hearing as much as possible.
It wasn’t to listen to the snipers in the ambush.
He is trying to hear the sound coming out of the earphones the monk is wearing.
From noble mtl dot com
As soon as I saw the monk for the first time, I noticed that he was wearing earphones in his ears.
If you’re not listening to music, it’s probably for communication.
So, when I looked closely, a small microphone was sticking out of the robe.
Nome was able to communicate two-way with the shooters using earphones and a microphone.
A man’s voice flowed from the monk’s earphones.
“[This is Watchtower 1. We confirmed that one of the guests was Mr. Ma. But the other man is a face I’ve never seen before.]”
It was the voice of a sniper stationed on a watchtower near the entrance.
I said to the monk in a low voice.
“Tell me I’m the successor to the dead wholesaler.”
Then the monk followed my instructions and spoke to the sniper.
“[This is Mr. Wang’s successor.]”
“[You have been an honored guest. Okay, watchtower 1 status cleared.]”
Whoop-
I let out a small sigh.
If I had overlooked the earphones the monk was wearing, I would have been shot.
When a crisis situation occurs, ＜Alan’s Emergency Card＞ is automatically activated, so there is no instant death.
And I can use one of the emergency cards ＜Remove＞ to annihilate all the enemies I want to get rid of.
But every time I use an emergency card, my life is reduced.
Before you get ＜The Secret of Eternal Life＞, you need to reduce the number of events that Alan’s Emergency Card will activate as much as possible.
Otherwise, it won’t be long before you die.
So let’s not create something to do in a crisis situation in the first place.
No matter what happens, you have to be vigilant and pay attention to the end.
.
.
.
Even after watchtower 1, I confirmed my identity more at two watchtowers, 2 and 3.
Each time, I controlled the monk with ＜Control＞ and handed him over safely.
And finally, we arrived at our destination, the building.
Upon entering the building, there were three large seated Buddha statues, about 5 meters in height, placed side by side.
And several men in monk’s clothes were standing guard around the Buddha statue.
All wore machine guns and ammunition belts over monk robes.
‘Are you a monk?’
They are within range of my voice and can be manipulated with ＜Control＞ at any time.
I whispered once again to the monk who guided me to this place.
“Take me to the safe.”
big ugh-
The guy made an impression.
It was trying hard to resist ＜control＞.
Perhaps there is a secret passage to the safe around here.
As it desperately resisted, the elixir consumption increased rapidly.
Suddenly, I thought of Chairman Kim, who made money by harvesting the organs of gambling addicts.
He, too, desperately resisted in front of his safe.
The monk also possessed as much willpower as Chairman Kim.
Elixir is consumed a lot.
But now I am on a different level from when I dealt with Chairman Kim.
The amount of elixir extracted per hour increased by 4 times compared to that time, and the amount of elixir stored in the warehouse was enormous. If the stockpile of elixir was at the level of a washbasin then, it was at the level of a pool now.
big ugh-
The monk had a band of blood on his forehead.
“[Head monk! Why? Are you sick?]”
The armed monks around the statue felt strange and tried to approach him.
“Stop moving.”
My voice was low on the main hall.
Then everyone became frozen like ice and couldn’t move.
I’m not going to leave it in that state for now and get rid of it right away.
There are several CCTV cameras installed inside the building.
It was clear that someone was doing real-time surveillance through a camera.
So don’t make a fuss.
Took-
The monk who was resisting ＜control＞ slightly lowered his head.
His eyes lost focus.
He no longer had the willpower left to resist my magic.
trudging-
He walked toward the Buddha statue in the middle with a bewildered expression.
Then, standing right in front of the Buddha statue, he stretched out his hand toward the lotus-shaped pedestal.
Hundreds of fist-sized golden marbles were embedded in the pedestal.
round-
round-
He rotated some of the marbles 180 degrees.
ugh-
Then, a vibrating sound was heard and the Buddha statue began to move slowly.
Goo Goo-
The massive Buddha statue fell back, revealing the lift device hidden by the pedestal.
aha!
I’ve seen devices like this before.
The place where Chairman Kim hid the cash was decorated like this.
Even then, the lift was used to raise money from the basement to the ground.
yes-
A stand-alone controller that looked like a kiosk rose from the floor.
The controller controlling the lift was evident.
The monk pointed his finger at the keyhole on the controller.
There were two keyholes.
You need two keys to operate the lift.
It was obvious who had the key.
I said to Ma Chun-hwa.
“Give me the key.”
Then he handed me the key he was wearing around his neck.
“Give me one more.”
Ma Cheonhwa took out a bloody key from his pants pocket.
It was the key the dead wholesaler had.
The wholesaler in charge of managing the region’s finances and Ma Cheonhwa in charge of managing the members of the organization shared two keys.
I handed the two keys to the monk.
Then he put two keys on the controller and turned it.
ugh-
The lift then began to descend.
I went downstairs with the monk and Ma Cheonhwa.
ugh-
clap-
After descending for about 10 seconds, the lift stopped.
Pot- Pot- Pot-
The lights installed in the underground space turned on automatically.
The surroundings brightened and a much more beautiful scenery unfolded than expected.
Oh oh-
It was a neat appearance reminiscent of an underground parking lot for a luxury apartment.
The entire wide floor was coated with white urethane and reflected the light from the lights.
And gold bars were piled on top of it.
Dozens of squares were drawn on the urethane floor like parking lines, and a certain amount of gold bars were neatly stacked in each square.
So far, I was able to roughly guess the amount of gold with the eyes I learned while absorbing gold.
It seems that there are about 2-3 tons of gold ingots piled up in one compartment.
There are dozens of spaces like that.
I think it’s probably about 100 tons with everything done.
100 tons of gold equals the total amount of gold bars held by the Bank of Korea, the central bank of the Republic of Korea.
It is now possible to eat as much gold as a country’s central bank holds in one meal.
‘It’s a perfect holiday!’
I want to run and absorb it right away, but there is something to check before that.
It would be disappointing if someone saw the scene of me absorbing gold through CCTV.
I roamed the underground space and checked every nook and cranny.
However, there was no CCTV in this place.
Suddenly, I remembered what President Park had told me.
CCTV is not installed in a really important secret safe that needs to hide its existence.
When CCTV is installed, the cable including the power line must be connected to the outside, and then an outsider can track the wire in reverse to find the location of the safe.
Anyway, there is no CCTV, so it was a very good thing.
All you have to do is absorb gold.
pounding-
I took off my gloves excitedly.
I was wearing gloves on my hands to avoid leaving fingerprints, but now it’s meal time.
I approached the gold bar.
and put my hand up
hiss-
A pile of gold bars piled up in one space disappeared entirely.
A pleasant feeling of satiety was felt, and a smile was drawn on his lips.
‘it’s good.’
hiss-
hiss-
Gold ingots in other compartments also began to be absorbed.
That’s how I enjoyed ‘Golden Gluttony’ while roaming the underground vault.
