Chapter 42 - World of Vampire Detective [24]

We woke up around noon, entangled in each other's arms at the motel.

When we entered the motel, we became animals. Without a drop of alcohol, we turned into beasts and rolled around until dawn. The room was a mess. We hadn't limited our activities to just the bed. The bathroom, shower, desk, chair, even the entrance… We had done it everywhere, in every position imaginable. Hera's pussy was swollen and red.

"Oppa, I'm quitting Young-hae-jung."

"What?!"

I was shocked.

"Why are you so surprised?"

"I thought you were going to keep working there."

"Young-hae-jung is a good place. The madam is considerate, and I make good money compared to other places. But it's not something I can do forever."

"Yeah, that's true."

Most of the girls working in rooms do it for the money. It's a quick way to save up in a short period. But considering the societal judgment and the future, it's not a long-term career.

I was surprised that Hera decided to quit so soon.

"Are you quitting today?"

"No, I'll work until the end of the month. I've already told the madam."

"What are you going to do after you quit?"

"My parents want me to get married soon, but I'm not even in my 30s. I don't want to get married yet. I'll use my savings to open a clothing store."

Listening to her, I realized something new.

'To me, this world is like a fiction, but to the people here, this is their reality.'

I wondered about something.

Do Shin Hye-jin's parents look exactly like Hera's parents? I really wanted to check, but I didn't know what Shin Hye-jin's parents looked like.

"Does that mean our sex partner relationship is over?"

Honestly, I didn't want to let her go. But I also didn't want to force her. I was already deeply attached. If Hera wanted to leave, I would let her.

"…Hmm. No. I can't forget your cock. Even now, my pussy hurts, but just thinking about your cock makes it tingle."

"I can't forget your pussy either."

I meant it. Hera's pussy fit perfectly with my dick. Even though there might be tighter pussies, after doing it, none felt as good as hers.

"Invite me when you open the store. I'll come and fuck you for the occasion."

"You'd fuck me even without an occasion."

"True."

I laughed.

I couldn't quit the bars. I was already addicted.

If this were the real world, I would have quit. While enjoyable, night bars can ruin your life.

But this wasn't the real world. I didn't care about my life here. And going to bars didn't interfere with my goals.

In short, I had no intention of quitting bars until I achieved my goal.

'The problem is money.'

I wanted to go to a room, but I had no money.

Sitting in front of Kang Eugene's computer, I pondered.

There were many ways to make money. Working was one of them. But there weren't many ways to make a large sum quickly.

I had already sold the valuable information Kang Eugene had gathered. The remaining data was too risky to handle. So, making money through information sales was out.

Robbing a bank was an option, but I didn't want to provoke the police.

'So, as before, I'll have to take money from criminals.'

Finding the operators of illegal sports betting sites through hacking wasn't difficult. These criminals often kept large amounts of cash.

"…Wait. I have the clown mask."

Initially, I planned to wear the clown mask only when killing vampire hunters. But on second thought, there was no need to restrict it to that.

'Screw it. Let's go all out.'

I started sifting through Kang Eugene's computer. He didn't only collect information on public officials' corruption. Kang Eugene had a habit of storing any interesting information he came across.

"…Got it."

What I found was information about a congressman. His name was Kim Chun-seok, a six-term representative and the floor leader of the Haneul Party.

In the original story, he was mentioned as a corrupt politician. But he was too powerful for Moon Ji-hyuk to do anything about it. He was merely noted as a dangerous politician.

He was one of the dirtiest public officials in Korea.

He was so dirty that the amount of information stored about him was at least five times more than that of any other politician.

Bribery and solicitation were standard. He controlled political thugs like his limbs and was suspected of ordering contract killings.

Surprisingly, he hadn't visited places like Young-hae-jung in recent years. Seven years ago, he had a scandal involving a night bar.

'No, it's not surprising.'

He had a hidden villa in Yeongdeungpo that few knew about. Kang Eugene hacked nearby CCTVs and identified people entering the villa.

Most were executives of large companies. It was clear that solicitations were taking place there.

There were also famous entertainment agency CEOs and celebrities.

Sexual favours.

There were no sex tapes, but why would a celebrity visit Kim Chun-seok's secret villa? Only an idiot wouldn't know.

The frequency of celebrity visits was once a week. Celebrities entering the villa would film a movie or suddenly have good news a few days later. It was almost certain.

The reason he didn't visit places like Young-hae-jung was that his secret villa was his playground.

But it didn't end there. He occasionally met with lobbyists from Japan and China.

A congressman getting caught for selling out his country and getting bashed by the public and media? That was nothing compared to Kim Chun-seok. He had likely been taking bribes and solicitations for at least ten years.

'It's a relief that there's no one like Kim Chun-seok in the real world.'

Is there really no one like Kim Chun-seok in the real world? I couldn't confidently answer that. I just hoped not.

'There's a place his aide checks every month.'

For reference, Kim Chun-seok's aide was a former political thug. He probably committed several murders for Kim Chun-seok. They went to the same middle school. Kim Chun-seok trusted him more than his wife.

'The place the aide checks every month is 100% where he hides his slush fund.'

Kang Eugene hacked the aide's phone and computer to find the location. He inferred it by checking the aide's card transactions.

Kang Eugene had sealed this information.

It was too dangerous for a mere hacker to steal Kim Chun-seok's slush fund. The slush fund was likely guarded by political thugs—the Baekjeon Gang. On the surface, the Baekjeon Gang was the support group of the Haneul Party called the 'Dae Han Haneul Club.'

'The slush fund is at least 200 billion won? Damn, it reeks so bad it's nauseating.'

The slush fund was in physical form at the location. Including non-physical assets, it would exceed 600 billion won.

'Isn't it absurd to let this slide?'

The National Intelligence Service (NIS) knew about Kim Chun-seok's corruption. But they remained silent.

Touching Kim Chun-seok now would cause too many casualties. In the worst case, the South Korean government could be paralyzed. That's how many congressmen and companies were entangled with Kim Chun-seok. And, of course, the NIS was included.

'It's a miracle the country is still functioning.'

I pondered.

Should I immediately raid the Slush Fund location and take the money? Or should I just give up?

'…Prepare and raid it. Let's turn Korea upside down with this opportunity.'

As a citizen of South Korea, I couldn't stand by while someone like Kim Chun-seok rampantly committed atrocities to fill his own pockets. That wasn't my real sentiment.

It wasn't about my tax money going to a bastard like him, because I didn't even pay taxes.

Honestly speaking.

'This fucker is living the easy life. And those celebrity sex favours… I'm so jealous.'

I couldn't forgive the celebrity sex favours.

'It's infuriating. Damn it…'

[Hacking Lv. 6]

[You can hack electronic devices. The more complex the device, the shorter the hacking duration. The target device must be within 60 meters. Multiple devices can be hacked simultaneously, but the hacking duration significantly decreases.]

[Cooldown: 3 hours]

I invested my remaining points into the hacking skill. The task I was about to undertake required the use of hacking.

"In a modern setting like this, it's incredibly useful."

I wished I could level it up to 7, but that required a whopping 25 points.

"I've only got 3 points left."

I had the choice to either boost my stats or save the points for later.

"I might suddenly unlock a similar trait like Yeongcheon style."

Just like how unexpected expenses can arise in daily life, I might need those points suddenly in the future.

"But I can always earn more points later."

After some thought, I decided to increase my lowest stat. Since I'd end up raising my stats eventually, it wasn't a bad idea to do it now.

The fact that it was significantly lower than my other stats bothered me too.

I was also curious to see if raising my intelligence would actually make me smarter.

[T/N: Finally this fucker did it...]

[Seong Eugene]

[Level: 19]

[Stats]

[Strength: 14]

[Stamina: 12]

[Agility: 12]

[Intelligence: 5]

[Libido: 15]

I put down my smartphone after increasing my intelligence and sat still.

"…What's different?"

I didn't feel any clearer or see the world differently. So I decided to conduct a few tests.

I randomly thought of some numbers and added, subtracted, and multiplied them. I realized my mental math had improved.

My memory seemed to have gotten better too.

"Intelligence includes… learning ability, cognitive ability… various things."

Feeling I might have wasted my points on intelligence, I noticed a new window in the corner of the [Play Life] app.

[Effects of skills and traits increase slightly.]

[Energy consumption for skill use decreases by 0.1%.]

[Skill cooldown decreases by 0.1%.]

"Fuck!"

That was my immediate reaction.

Intelligence.

Thinking back, in games, it's a stat related to skills. Higher intelligence meant stronger skills.

"Damn it. I should have increased intelligence earlier."

0.1%.

To others, it might seem insignificant, but not to me. There was a time when I was obsessed with mobile games and spent 300,000 won believing in a 0.3% probability.

In the end, I achieved my goal. What I learned then was that 0.3% is manageable.

"If I keep increasing intelligence, the percentage will rise."

Even 1% would be significant. And the mention of skills and traits slightly improving kept nagging at me.

"My Yeongcheon style and Hacking skills are already amazing, and they'll get even better. From now on, I need to focus on raising my intelligence too."

I thought raising my intelligence might change my values or personality…

"I want to roll in the hay with a girl at Yeong-hye-jeong."

Apparently, that wasn't going to happen.
