Episode 232.
A DM message from Zhuge Liang.
The timing was just so perfect that I felt like this was the moment.
“Is the situation somewhat resolved now?”
In fact, Siwoo had tried to contact me first before that.
The reason why it couldn’t be done was none other than this.
Because the admins couldn’t send DMs to the channel owners.
For the same reason, Siwoo could not run a channel on Gottube.
That’s why the first DM had to be done by them first.
After that, only after exchanging contact information was Siwoo able to contact me first.
And it wasn’t through GodTube DM, it was through direct contact.
In short, Siwoo could not be contacted through Godtube DM.
There are also other things you cannot contact the customer center about.
In fact, there were more restrictions than permissions.
“What kind of administrator account is this?”
But um.
Come to think of it, it might be because I’m a manager.
The administrator’s job is to ensure that Godtube runs smoothly.
It was not a position where one could abuse one’s power to gain special privileges.
I wasn’t sure, but it seemed like it was blocked with that intention.
anyway.
“Still, the timing was good.”
Siwoo thought positively and pressed the accept button.
Hold on.
Pot with touch.
The screen changed and a familiar man appeared.
Long robe. Fan held in hand.
A neat beard and the impression of a scholar.
“Nice to meet you, Zhuge Liang.”
The genius strategist, Zhuge Liang.
Actually, it wasn’t the first time I saw it.
Because it was a face I saw every day in YouTube videos.
But from Zhuge Liang’s perspective, it was the first time.
[Oh, are you Mr. Siwoo?]
Zhuge Liang asked Shi Yu politely.
It was a completely different atmosphere from the people on GodTube that Siwoo had talked to so far.
I think I know why Hercules was called Sannim.
On a positive note.
[The story begins with the monster in the Shan Hai Jing… no, um.]
Zhuge Liang shut his mouth tightly as if he had made a mistake.
And then he thought deeply.
[I heard the general story from a man named Hercules.]
Zhuge Liang opened his mouth again.
At Zhuge Liang’s words, Shi Woo burst into laughter.
Shan Hai Jing.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas was a book written during the advanced Qin Dynasty in China, and it recorded things outside the world.
The monsters known as the Four Evil Beasts were also recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
And if he was a traitor, he was a very noble man.
The monsters in the Mountains and Seas Classic are truly things from outside the world.
A monster with 1,000 anuses all over its body that defecates without warning.
Horses, cows, sheep, dogs, chickens, etc.
A monster with the genitals of all sorts of different creatures attached to it, which lusts after itself and conceives horrible hybrids.
There were many things outside the world that were beyond human reason.
And Hercules seemed to think so too.
Things outside the world.
To put it simply, it seemed that Zhuge Liang had decided not to understand Hercules.
[I briefly looked into who he was, and he really was… an amazing person.]
Surprise and amazement, shock and horror.
Zhuge Liang’s expression was a mixture of various emotions.
Greek and Roman mythology as seen from the perspective of a character in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Even Siwoo couldn’t quite guess how he would feel.
[Thanks to you, I was able to achieve my dream of unifying the three kingdoms. My lord was also very pleased.]
After a while, Zhuge Liang looked at Shi Yu.
[There must be a reason you helped us.]
It was a statement that contained a lot of meaning.
And the implied meaning points to one thing.
Zhuge Liang seemed to know that Shi You was behind Hercules.
I don’t know if the word ‘back’ is correct.
But it seemed like he knew that Siwoo had planned all of this.
[I think there must be a reason why you wanted to meet me.]
Zhuge Liang did not beat around the bush.
I just grasped Siwoo’s intentions accurately and got to the point.
Is this really Zhuge Liang?
Siwoo also didn’t beat around the bush.
“There is something I would like to ask you, Zhuge Liang.”
[Please speak.]
Zhuge Liang’s calm answer.
Shi Woo told Zhuge Liang all the relevant facts.
* * *
Quite a long story.
Nevertheless, Zhuge Liang calmly listened to Shi Yu’s story.
In the process, Zhuge Liang showed a rather surprised expression on his face at the fact that Shi You was using the power of a god.
But that was it.
I didn’t doubt that fact or raise any objections.
At this point, Siwoo was starting to have doubts.
“Do you believe what I say?”
[I would say that rather than saying I believe, I have no choice but to believe.]
Zhuge Liang answered calmly.
[No matter how unbelievable something may be after excluding the impossible, it is bound to be true.]
This means that.
‘While listening to my story, you were constantly trying to determine whether it was true or not.’
Indeed, the only thing that came out was the name Zhuge Liang.
[Is there anything else you would like to tell me?]
“Oh, yes. I’ve told you everything I needed to tell you.”
Only then did Zhuge Liang become lost in thought.
And for a moment.
[I think there are two things the teacher wants to ask me.]
Zhuge Liang slowly opened his mouth.
[Questions about why proficiency doesn’t increase from 100%, and whether my insight can be used as a foresight ability. Are these two correct?]
“… That’s correct.”
Siwoo gave an answer mixed with admiration.
Are there any obstacles in progressing the story?
Even without having to explain the system of proficiency, Zhuge Liang understood it on his own and answered on his own.
I feel like my heart is empty and hollow.
‘I think I know why Yu-bi was so jealous.’
If you want to try Samgocho, it’s no different from buying it.
It took a thousand years, no, a thousand years, to make a profit.
[First, let me tell you why proficiency doesn’t increase from 100%.]
That was a really quick decision.
Siwoo waited for Zhuge Liang’s words to follow, feeling as if he had just drunk a strong carbonated beverage.
[To put it simply, it is because it is borrowed power.]
Borrowed power.
As I was pondering its meaning, Zhuge Liang spoke again.
[100% proficiency means perfection. For example, my insight and Mr. Siwoo’s insight. There is no difference between the two.]
Currently, Siwoo’s Insight (S+) is at 100% proficiency.
[However, is there really no difference? That is not true. Even with the same power, there are differences depending on how it is used and utilized.]
Then, Zhuge Liang added a related explanation.
Quite a convoluted explanation.
“therefore….”
Shi-Woo spoke as he organized Zhuge Liang’s explanation in his head.
“Even if the ability I actually use is not 100%, the proficiency system has judged it to be 100%, so you’re saying that’s already recognized as such?”
[In short, yes.]
Zhuge Liang nodded calmly.
“hmm….”
But Siwoo couldn’t quite understand.
Even though it was the power of the same insight (S+), it was not easy to understand.
In that sense, Shi Woo’s insight and Zhuge Liang’s insight.
It was quite understandable that these two were the same or different forces.
“Then why is the power that exceeds 100% proficiency like that?”
Supernatural Strength (SS) and Divine Metallurgy (SS).
According to Zhuge Liang’s words, 100% proficiency could be considered the limit.
However, these two were exceeding 100% proficiency.
[Because it is a power that is not borrowed.]
Power that is not borrowed.
[More precisely, I would say it is a fused force.]
“ah.”
Siwoo could immediately understand this.
Because the supernatural power (SS) and the divine metallurgy (SS) were not simply powers.
First of all, the metallurgy (SS) of God was imbued with the reality manipulation (SSS) of Isis.
By fusing with that power, it was working as a power that surpassed Hephaestus.
The same was true for Super Strength (SS).
With his body strengthened by the divine medicine (S+), Siwoo was slowly but surely making progress towards a complete transformation.
Thanks to that, the limits of super strength (SS) were overcome.
[Exceeding 100% proficiency means breaking free from borrowed power.]
It meant that it was turning into a new force.
It is not Hephaestus’ or Hercules’ power, but the original power that only Siu possesses.
[This is where Mr. Siwoo’s uniqueness comes into play.]
Siwoo was gradually able to understand Zhuge Liang’s words.
“Then, is there no other way to increase proficiency beyond 100% for any power other than those two?”
[It is impossible. However, only Mr. Siwoo can do it.]
An answer from Zhuge Liang that I heard somewhere.
“Is it because the essence of my uniqueness is still nothing?”
[That’s right.]
Zhuge Liang nodded calmly and continued speaking.
[So the monsters of the Mountains and Seas Classic… no, um.]
Then, as if he had made a mistake, Zhuge Liang shut his mouth again.
Hercules seemed to have been quite shocked.
[A man named Hercules has already given the answer.]
Hercules already gave the answer?
When did that muscle monster… .
“Oh, no way. Are you talking about the real-time subscription?”
[That’s right.]
Zhuge Liang continued speaking as if he had guessed correctly.
[Fusing two powers to create a new power. It is a power that only Mr. Siwoo can use. It is not a borrowed power, but a unique power that only Mr. Siwoo can possess.]
“That means….”
[The monster of the Classic of Mountains and Seas… No, it seems that the man named Hercules had been looking all the way here.]
Siwoo looked at Hercules with renewed admiration.
no wonder.
I wanted to emphasize the importance of real-time subscription by saying some painful words.
Is it true that only what you see is a monster?
[I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can answer in what way and how that would be possible.]
Even Zhuge Liang was expressing his reluctance to subscribe to the real pressure.
I was able to realize that the talk about special curriculum and such was not just empty talk.
[I hope this answers your question.]
Siwoo nodded slowly.
Because that is the answer to the question.
[Then I will answer your second question.]
Zhuge Liang opened his mouth without hesitation.
[The second question can also be seen as being in the same context as the first question.]
[My insight may seem like foresight, but it cannot be used as foresight. They are similar but different powers.]
but.
[If it’s Mr. Siwoo, it’s possible. It’s also my strength, and I have a method that I came up with.]
[It is different from the real pressure subscription used by the demon in the Shan Hai Jing. Although I did get a hint from the real pressure subscription.]
Now, it was Zhuge Liang who was openly called the monster of the Shan Hai Jing.
[I think I can help you, teacher.]
At that moment, Zhuge Liang transformed into a serious scholar.
* * *
The story of Zhuge Liang’s conversion to student mode was really long.
So, there was no explanation bug like this one.
And if it was just long, I wouldn’t have even brought it up.
“Ahh…!”
My head was pounding so hard I thought it was going to split open.
My brain was burning, almost hot, from being inundated with too much knowledge.
“I think I’m going crazy… .”
All-time high.
Zhuge Liang’s explanation was truly legendary.
Is it because we are using the same insight (S+)?
Zhuge Liang did not only tell very difficult stories.
So, Siwoo maintained an incredibly easy-to-understand level.
Because of that, I couldn’t even just listen to it.
Injection-based education.
“How can you force knowledge into your head?”
It was literally spoon-fed education.
Moreover, this one time was not the end.
“When was the next class…?”
I seriously thought I was going crazy.
But what can I do?
Siwoo went out of the dungeon, holding his head as if it was going to burst.
Stop.
No, I was just about to leave.
Siwoo sensed an unfamiliar presence.
It was not the kind of presence that Siwoo knew, but it was also a presence that was intentionally hidden.
Above all, the place where Siwoo is now is an S-class dungeon where a monster called the ‘Hond Demon’ appears.
Inside a dungeon isolated from the outside world.
The intention behind his coming in while hiding his presence could be figured out just by thinking about it during the robbery.
It’s probably not a good intention.
Siwoo quietly looked at the place where he felt movement.
Beyond the hidden darkness.
“Kuhihihihihi!”
An unidentified man wearing a fox mask revealed himself.
