Chapter 121: <National Core Technology>

“I didn’t know the brick breaking game had a hidden stage…”

Ted said in awe, but no one replied. They all just stared at the screen.

It was a popular game everyone in the room played as children, but no one had seen a hidden stage before. The AI, which was named Thomas, was clearing each level perfectly and ending each stage with the highest possible score.

Woosung looked around the room and asked, “Now, do you understand what I am talking about? Your mission is to improve Thomas to think more deeply and act better while supporting the S Coin technology. Your living expenses will be paid by me on top of your salary while you work on this project.” The team members looked excited. “And this is a top-secret project, so you can’t talk to anyone about it. This is a part of your non-disclosure agreement.”

After everyone signed their contracts, the meeting ended.

Ted approached Shane and started asking questions about Thomas.

Amelia remained seated, but she clearly seemed to want to leave.

Woosung offered, “Go ahead and take a break. You have plenty of time to work later.”

“R…really?”

When Woosung nodded, she left the room with the others.

Woosung smiled fondly.

***

Phew.

He was finally home after another long day.

Woosung opened the computer screen. This was his nightly routine before going to bed.

“3,531,300.4311 BTC”

He now had over 3 million bitcoins. After checking the number, Woosung visited the online bitcoin community made by various developers.

“I want to buy a Bitcoin.”

Previously, Woosung left a message asking to buy bitcoins. There were new replies to his request.

“1BTC = 0.1 cent”

“1BTC = 0.15 cent”

Those who obviously didn’t know the future value of bitcoins were selling their coins at a dirt cheap price. Odd times, there were people who received the money and didn’t provide him with the bitcoins, but most people were honest.

At present, Woosung managed to buy a bitcoin for 0.1 to 0.2 cents.

In the future, each coin reached the value of up to 20,000 dollars. Through this method, Woosung bought about 72,000 coins at a fraction of a price.

His total in his wallet was 3,603,300.4311 BTC. Just looking at the number made him feel satisfied.

Woosung checked his account balance afterward.

The total of both the US and Korean accounts was 6.1 billion dollars.

He spent a significant amount of money recently on purchasing Al Mind and creating the companies DNK and Bitmain. Despite all these investments, his balance was continuing to increase.

This was because Woosung was profiting substantially from the games League of Ancient and MOX’s Legend. He was also earning a considerable amount of money by owning US stocks and through KND products.

He had more than enough money to start his mobile carrier business and his planned entertainment agency.

“You have a new mail.”

An alarm rang on his phone. When he checked it, it was an email from Yoo Sona.

“My answer is yes.”

Quickly, Woosung opened the Coconut Talk messenger and ordered.

“OS interest increase. Start.”

Afterward, he connected to the biggest AC inside community. He then looked up the reports on Mayor Oh Hoon.

“Mayor Oh Hoon plagiarized his paper?”

The report also included a few photos as proofs.

“Jang Gwangchul did very well in finding a good worker.”

This was discovered by the person Jang Gwangchul hired for their internal information team.

Plagiarism incident.

In Woosung’s previous life, Mayor Oh Hoon was successful in getting re-elected, but during the election, this incident created a lot of problems for him.

Woosung knew this would surface, so he ordered the information team to gather as much info as possible on it.

Suddenly, his phone beeped. Another message had arrived.

“Emergency meeting now.”

It was from Lee Sunghyun. Woosung immediately left to the designated meeting place.

A private house in Nonhyundong.

“This is Kang Woosung.”

When he spoke to the intercom system, the gate swung open. Inside the garden were rare and well-groomed trees.

This was the first time an emergency meeting was requested.

Following the secretary, Woosung walked into a room where Lee Sunghyun and other election team leaders were gathered.

As soon as Woosung sat down, Lee Sunghyun criticized the leaders.

“What happened here? Why couldn’t you stop this?”

Everyone looked bewildered. How could anyone know Mayor Oh plagiarized a paper in the past?

Lee Sunghyun tried to ease the tension and continued, “In 2 months, the election will begin. If this becomes big, the result will not go in our way. You must all know this. So tell me the solution.”

Everyone remained quiet.

The report on the plagiarism incident was made only an hour ago. There was no way anyone could have come up with a viable solution. Lee Sunghyun was just being difficult.

“How about we release a scandal about Han Minsook?” One person proposed an idea cautiously.

“Do you have something solid?”

“No, but we can just leak a made-up rumor.”

“And when it is proven to be false, we just pretend it wasn’t us?”

“That’s right.”

Lee Sunghyun sighed in frustration. “Gosh! Who does that nowadays? Don’t you know it will just make Mayor Oh look bad?”

Lee Sunghyun looked around and asked again.

“Anyone else?”

“It sounded like he did plagiarize a document when he was in university. Why not just admit that he made a mistake and volunteer to give up the corresponding degree?” Another man offered.

Lee Sunghyun sighed deeply again. He felt like this was the only option. They had to close the issue as quickly as possible.

Suddenly, Woosung opened his mouth. “Sir, I found a good video recently.”

“Video?”

“Yes. It involves a celebrity named Yoo Sona. It also involves someone very interesting.”

Lee Sunghyun nodded for Woosung to continue.

“In the video is a man in Han Minsook’s election team. It is Kim Minsoo, the son of Taeson Group’s CEO Kim Gwangsun.”

Lee Sunghyun looked interested. “That is indeed very intriguing. How did you find such valuable information?”

“I have my ways, but it still hasn’t been confirmed with utmost certainty that it is Kim Minsoo. I actually don’t know what Kim Minsoo looks like.”

“Haha, it doesn’t matter as long as the man in the video looks similar to him. It would be big enough of a scandal that destroys Han Minsook.”

“I have a plan…”

Lee Sunghyun motioned the others to leave. He knew it was better for fewer people to know about these kinds of affairs.

***

“Yoo Sona S Tape” was uploaded quickly onto a porn site.

Yoo Sona.

She was a very popular actress in many Asian countries. The video spread like a wildfire.

“10,203.”

“21,444.”

“51,559.”

The number of views increased quickly

Many agreed that it was a legit video. Ji Minsuk screamed angrily.

“Dammit! Dammit! How did this happen?” He turned to the manager and asked, “Did you ask Yoo Sona about this?”

“Sona said she didn’t know how it happened. It looks like a hotel room, but Sona can’t tell which one. She has been to so many…”

Ji Minsuk pulled at his hair. His phone was ringing nonstop. Every time he answered it, he ended up apologizing.

“No, sir, it’s not like that. I will make sure to fix this.”

“Yes, sir, your name won’t be mentioned anywhere. I promise.”

“I swear your name won’t be involved.”

There were so many powerful men in various fields that were getting worried. They all had relations with Yoo Sona.

Ji Minsuk asked as he wiped his sweat off his forehead, “How about the media?”

“We sent an official statement to the reporters.”

“We have to make sure it just turns into Yoo Sona’s personal scandal. The company can’t be part of this. Arrange a press release.”

“Alright.”

A news report came up on TV.

“Hello. This is Reporter Jo Chunghyun from MBD. It has been discovered that the man in the infamous Yoo Sona tape is Kim Minsoo, the son of Taeson Group’s CEO. The public is now wondering if they are in a legitimate relationship or Yoo Sona did a sexual favor for her career.”

Ji Minsuk stared at the TV in shock.
