The Tutorial Is Too Hard - Chapter 344
Chapter 344 – Seoul (28)
“Dr. Han!”
“How did this happen……Please say something! Wait…!”
Dr. Han Myeong-ho got up while avoiding his clamoring colleagues.
He strode to remove those who followed.
There were some who followed, but no one was able to keep up with the alarming speed of the top Awakened, Han Myeong-ho.
Han Myeong-ho was able to get rid of them in no time.
Han Myeong-ho, hiding between the emergency exit stairs, wiped off his cold sweat.
It wasn’t sweat from exercise.
In order for Han Myeong-ho, one of America’s greatest Awakened, to sweat from a workout, he had to run a marathon.
It was a cold sweat caused by mental stress.
Han Myeong-ho was recruited to the US after clearing the Tutorial.
And he had never been dissatisfied with that fact.
The United States maintained its position as the world’s most powerful country even after the cataclysm.
Although the sea routes in both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans were blocked, the North American continent had abundant resources to survive.
America’s influence over South America was still there.
The Awakening Force, the Navy, and Air Force were cut in half, but in return, they defeated the G-class beasts that appeared on the coast near New York, and have not suffered serious damage from the beasts since then.
Above all, there was too much piled up before the cataclysm.
Therefore, Han Myeong-ho chose the United States.
Han Myeong-ho, who was one of the few Awakened who studied magic itself, was recruited to the United States as an Awakened and a researcher, and since then, he has been receiving good treatment and continuing his research.
Not long ago, he even made tangible results as he began clinical trials of drugs that had an effect similar to the lowest potion in the Tutorial.
But that was the story until yesterday.
Han Myeong-ho sat down on the stairs of the emergency exit and picked up his cell phone.
As soon as he opened his portal site, he noticed a provocative phrase.
[A real version of Armageddon. An asteroid impact is imminent.]
[The diameter of the asteroid ‘X’ is 33 km. Three times the size of the asteroid that fell in the Cretaceous Period 6 million years ago.]
[Experts say “There is really no way to prevent destruction.”]
[99% of life on Earth’s surface will go extinct…….]
It was a topic that was currently covered throughout the world.
Of course it had to be.
Who wouldn’t be shaken when the Earth was about to perish.
Astronomers around the world continued to prove that the asteroid’s approach was true.
Now people weren’t wondering if the asteroid’s approach was real, they were worried about how to survive.
“Sigh. I’m going crazy, really.”
The problem was that this information was from Korea.
Asteroid related information was delivered from the United States to Korea, and within 10 minutes of requesting cooperation, all Korean media outlets began reporting on the asteroid.
All at once, fiercely as if bombarding.
Anyone could have guessed that the information was leaked from the Korean side.
Whether that was intentional or not, however, could not be said.
The biggest problem in this messy situation was Dr. Han Myeong-ho was the liaison between the United States and Korea.
This caused Dr. Han Myung-ho to be blamed for the leak of information regarding the asteroid.
Such a thing had to be stopped no matter what.
He was still being questioned by his colleagues, but practical reprimanding would come soon.
It wasn’t about being dismissed, but he couldn’t rebut if he were to be punished.
[There was a riot in California. Many police officers have died due to the unrest……]
[Empty convenience stores. Increased violence during shopping……]
“Uh…….”
Han Myeong-ho held his cell phone and bowed his head.
The situation was a bit serious.
When a huge natural disaster is foretold, society falls into chaos.
It always happened.
However, what made this incident different from before was that it was complete destruction, not just something on the level of a natural disaster.
And the fact of the matter is that the citizens have already experienced the monstrous cataclysms, so they are now ready to do anything to survive.
Finally, there was a mixture of Awakened people among such citizens.
Far from the government’s efforts, there was a row of unrest that required the police to be dispatched.
This is why the US government tried to control the information.
However, the US government had not been able to prevent information that had been spread widely from Korea.
He was so distracted that he couldn’t even prevent scientists from other countries from making follow-up announcements, so people thought that the cause of the incident was Han Myeong-ho himself.
Han Myeong-ho grabbed his cell phone tightly and sat down on the floor.
He was confused because he thought that he was the starting point of all this havoc.
It was a little cool as the cold floor touched his hips.
He looked for a name in his cell phone directory and called him.
Fortunately, the other person answered the phone this time.
The person Han Myeong-ho called was Kim Min-hyuk.
Vice-manager of the Tutorial’s Korean server vigilante.
Korean guild leader.
And not so long ago, he was the person who he had informed of the asteroid and asked for cooperation.
“Oh, brother!”
[Uh, is it Myeong-ho?]
“No, what happened!”
Han Myeong-ho cried out without knowing.
So he emphasized the confidentiality of the government, and the information spread to the media in just 10 minutes.
Han Myeong-ho shouted with resentment, anger, regret and disappointment.
“Brother! Please say something!”
* * *
“Uh…Well…That…Sorry! I’ll call you back later!”
Kim Min-hyuk hung up the phone.
Then, he pulled out the battery of his cell phone.
“Well done.”
Kim Min-hyuk looked at me with a strange look, but I ignored it.
What am I supposed to do?
“How is the situation?”
“It’s crazy. It’s not just an uproar. It’s almost like a war.”
I had guessed so.
With his head bowed, he looked at Hochi, who looked dead.
“You made a mistake this time?”
Hochi nodded.
I could understand.
Hochi understood humans.
He understood most of the emotion and behavior that humans possessed.
However, there were often exceptions.
The biggest among them was survival instinct.
Hochi had no idea what a desire to survive was like in the first place.
Hochi was not to blame.
I made it that way.
However, it was true that Hochi was impatient, not aware of the difference between humans and himself.
In fact, it was of no harm for me to let Hochi experience small failures.
“For now, we are protecting all our believers.”
Whenever something happened to the believers, they called in the challengers training in Yong-yong’s Tutorial to protect the believers one by one..
The challengers protected the believers with all their might.
This was due to the fact that the performance in the trip as well as the satisfaction of the believer and the rating given by the believer directly related to the rise of the level.
And everybody was eager because they were given a break according to the score once a week.
Faith was no problem.
Rather, it was soaring.
The believers, who seemed to not even feel the fear of death, were going out on the streets and preaching.
There were also many people who earned faith by selling ramen and canned food.
It was a wise choice.
It was more advantageous to secure food to hold public value than ramen or canned food.
As it turned out, the whole country was offering everything it had to earn public value.
Even the President and the National Assembly did the same.
‘I declare that the amendment favoring the Lee Ho-jae Faith has now been passed.’
The National Assembly was trying to make Lee Ho-jae Faith the state religion by revising the constitution.
And through such actions, he tried to collect a little more public value.
All the police officers who went out to quell the unrest were wearing the symbol of Lee Ho-jae Faith around their bodies.
There were overwhelming amounts of people praising Lee Ho-jae Faith with microphones in every square crowded with people, and when the live broadcast started, some of the performers, whether it was an anchor, an announcer, a singer, or an actor, suddenly shouted Lee Ho-jae cheer.
When considering the gains and losses of the church, the turmoil that was taking place was obviously a gain.
It was regrettable that Lee Ho-jae Faith had not yet spread to foreign countries and was limited to Korea.
However, the external damage was too great.
Too many people were dead and injured.
My believers are being protected, but I can’t help people who have no relationship with us.
The relationship between God and believer must be in an unfair trade relationship.
It cannot exist in the first place.
“By the way, the damage is a bit serious. More than expected.”
Korea is very good.
In foreign countries, there were frequent conflicts of warlords, coups, etc., rather than civil violence.
“Because I’ve already gone through something similar once.”
When the monsters and tutorials first appeared.
Both Kim Min-hyuk and I were the first challengers, so I heard about those days.
I wondered what happened at that time and what kind of atmosphere the world had.
“What are you going to do in the future?”
“Let’s start the public debate.”
Of course.
It was like a war between the media and information.
It was a game that was ultimately won when all the information on despair and the end of times was pushed out and instead replaced by Lee Ho-jae Faith’s theory of hope.
“Then you’d better go out. It’s hard to get people to believe it right away, but it’s going to work if you do an interview saying that you can step out and stop the asteroid.”
“Well. Do I really need to do that?”
It was clearly wrong that people were hurt by the unrest, but Hochi’s idea of raising interest and dependence on Lee Ho-jae Faith through people’s sense of crisis was wonderful.
It was not yet the right time to completely eliminate the asteroid apocalypse.
It was time to use it to expand.
“The biggest problem is that there is no time for issues related to Lee Ho-jae Faith. Even if I don’t know it in Korea, it is difficult to achieve tangible results by promoting it to foreign countries.”
Kim Min-hyuk replied.
Of course, it would be through the media.
“You can throw a stronger issue.”
“What issue is bigger than the end of times?”
Kim Minhyuk asked.
There was.
“There is survival. We could look at the two together, but separately, people will care more about survival than the end itself.”
“Is there a way?”
“Let’s do an event.”
“Event?”
“Hmm. An event to commemorate the imminent end.”
* * *
Han Myeong-ho was looking at Yahoo, squatting on the stairs.
Every news outlet relayed just how desperate the situation was.
He immediately felt skeptical.
Han Myeong-ho was also a wizard and scientist at the same time, and he received detailed information about the asteroid from the US government.
In his opinion, they could not overcome this by combining the techniques of modern civilization with the power of the Awakened.
The only way to survive was to enter an underground bunker and survive.
He himself, is of course, an important resource, so he will be able to live well in a bunker prepared by the US government.
However, most people will not enter the bunker and will explode at the same time as an asteroid impact on Earth’s surface.
It has been a problem since then.
A collision with an asteroid will completely reverse the Earth’s environment.
To the extent that humans can hardly live.
In that situation, he wondered if the bunker would remain safe, and he was worried that even if it was safe, he would have to live in the bunker for the rest of his life.
“Sigh.”
After all that he went through.
All the fierce and eventful past days he had to clear the Tutorial and fight the monsters felt pointless.
In the end, it was all in vain.
Han Myeong-ho checked all the news and tried to get up from his seat, but found a strange word mixed in the search query rankings.
Apocalypse, Asteroid X, Asteroid Crash Timer, New York Times, Wholesale Mart, etc. In the window where search terms were lined up, Korean words suddenly rose to number one.
Trending Now.
Lee Ho-jae Faith
The New York Times
Apocalypse timer
.
.
And it was the moment when he saw that unexpected search term.

[An opportunity not to be missed! Start right now!]
“This… What…”
* * *
“Did you see it? The greatness of this body?”
Ha.
Why am I so great?
Through the religious window, public value and faith were soaring like crazy, and the number of believers was soaring around the world.
It was an achievement only with the ease of membership registration process, free point event, and a little friendly explanation.
Now, if Lee Ho-jae Faith is recognized and cooperates with foreign governments, it will spread faster.
Major foreign media outlets have already confirmed the existence of Lee Ho-jae Faith and began to talk about the rewards of Lee Ho-jae Faith and how it will help them survive in the future.
Everything was a matter of time.
“… Isn’t this a scam? It’s too much of a cheat.”
It’s all thanks to me.
