Historical Inventor, Neighboring Country's Golden Talent (3rd Update)

Hearing Choi Sang-hwan's grand pronouncements, someone finally couldn't help but retort.

"Nonsense!"

The person who stepped forward to confront him was named Kim Soo-chan, stage name Crystal.

He was the trainee with the highest potential for fame among Choi Sang-hwan's peers.

It wasn't that Kim Soo-chan was exceptionally handsome, had great charisma, or possessed outstanding artistic skills, but simply because...

This person had signed a seventy-year contract with DSP Company, a contract that stipulated a penalty for breach of contract so astronomical that even the most popular, explosive celebrity artists would be ruined trying to pay it.

Under the same conditions, DSP Company would naturally increase its promotional and training resource allocation for Kim Soo-chan.

He was also the only trainee among his peers who could rival Choi Sang-hwan.

With a single sentence, all eyes in the room focused on him. Kim Soo-chan let out a light snort, transforming into a historical revisionist, and declared with self-satisfaction, "According to your logic, our Korea should be the protagonist of Earth!"

"Korea has a long history, spanning over ninety-three million six hundred thousand years!"

"The most outstanding generals and strategists from China's Three Kingdoms period..."

"Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, Guan Yu, Dian Wei, Sima Yi, all have partial Korean bloodlines."

"Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Yagyu Sekishusai, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, Miyamoto Musashi, Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Kenshin, Maeda Keiji, Taira no Kiyomori from Japan's Warring States period, these individuals are outright pure Korean descendants."

"If it weren't for those unpromising predecessors who were too kind-hearted and unwilling to harm people from other countries, we in the 21st century would have already unified the globe!"

"Therefore, Korea's luck is the strongest in the universe!"

"With such a Korea, why are there no golden-eyed individuals after the Crimson Moon Incident?"

The surrounding trainees, who already had a drastically negative impression of Choi Sang-hwan, who was fawning over China, nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"Hyung-nim Soo-chan is amazing! He understands the history of other countries so thoroughly!"

"Crystal is making sense..."

"Indeed, we are a developed country after all, and it's too absurd that there isn't a single golden-eyed individual!"

"If you ask me, this is purely a coincidence and has nothing to do with national luck."

Hearing the blind, arrogant discussions of his companions, Choi Sang-hwan's face revealed a cold sneer.

He loudly interrupted everyone's speech, acting as if he were the only clear-headed one in a world of fools, "You pathetic brainwashed worms! From ancient times to the present, China has always been the darling of this planet!"

"If China is the eldest son of Earth, its face, then we are merely the favored younger son."

"Favor shown for a short while proves nothing."

"When the youngest son is naughty, rebellious, and overly proud, it will incur the displeasure and cold shoulder of the parents."

Choi Sang-hwan, who had spent years arguing online, was highly skilled.

As soon as he spoke of China, his tongue became like a blooming flower, his words flowing like a torrent, speaking incessantly. "Someone must have been to Hyunje-dong, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, right?"

During arguments, Choi Sang-hwan was quite imposing. With this question, someone quickly gave an affirmative answer.

"I went with my parents the year before last."

"I went when I was a child. There was just a bare gate, I think it was called... Eun-eun Gate?"

"It seems to have a long history, and I don't know what it truly represents."

Hearing this, Kim Soo-chan felt something was amiss and quickly interjected, trying to argue, "Doesn't the existence of Eun-eun Gate better illustrate the prosperity of Korea's luck? We have countless ancient artifacts like it, with no recorded textual events!"

Choi Sang-hwan was usually a very kind person, but when it came to China, he seemed to transform, his language sharp and leaving no room for face-saving. "Crystal, I think you've been brainwashed into becoming an idiot."

"Eun-eun Gate? No, its real name is 'Yeong-eun Gate'!"

"Korea has no relevant textual records, but other countries do!"

"Its meaning is 'Respectfully welcoming imperial grace,' hmph..."

"In ancient times, Korea's highest ruler would personally welcome envoys dispatched from China's Ming Dynasty there."

"I think you should have realized by now why your country has no recorded textual events?"

Kim Soo-chan's face turned from green to red, and he argued defensively, "Who knows if what you're saying is true or false? Records from other countries can't be trusted! Did you see it from China?"

"China loves to distort facts the most, they even claim Confucius and the Dragon Boat Festival are theirs!"

Choi Sang-hwan's lips curved into a sharp, mocking sneer. "Childish, I can't be bothered to argue with you. However, I'll reluctantly enlighten you."

"I learned this information from Japanese netizens."

"Initially, on the 2CH forum, I saw Japanese netizens always referring to Huaxia as 'the suzerain state'."

"At the time, being young and spirited, I mocked them for their deep-seated subservience and weak character, but then they educated me about the existence of 'Yeong-eun Gate'."

"Later, after multiple verifications and confirming its authenticity, I decided to share it with you."

As a top-tier keyboard warrior who had long battled in the online world, Choi Sang-hwan's verbal combat skills far surpassed Kim Soo-chan's. With just a few rounds of offense, he quickly killed the topic.

Kim Soo-chan opened his mouth, but his tongue felt as stiff as a comatose mole, unable to make a sound.

Speechless, after a long pause, he stubbornly argued, "What's the use of talking about the past? A good man doesn't brag about past glories! Our Korea never boasts about its long history!"

"Let's talk about the present! Korea's international influence is the strongest now!"

"In China, producing so many golden-eyed individuals at once is simply scattering their 'luck' and seeking their own demise!"

"My Korean Cosmic Empire will unite our national fortune and nurture one top-tier, unique golden-eyed individual, a true Son of the World, a darling of destiny!"

"At that time, that existence will be equivalent to a hundred golden-eyed individuals!"

"Quantity isn't important. Quality... quality..."

Mid-sentence, Kim Soo-chan suddenly bit his own tongue, letting out a whimper like a wounded wild dog.

What had he seen?

Across from him, Choi Sang-hwan was mutating at a speed visible to the naked eye...

Choi Sang-hwan's eyes were gradually turning a brilliant, dazzling golden hue!

His height, which had been falsely reported as 180 cm, suddenly increased significantly, reaching around 1.9 meters...

Thinking back to what he had just said, Kim Soo-chan now felt like dying.

If nothing unexpected happened, this brainless China supporter, this staunch Korean traitor, was Korea's last remaining golden-eyed individual.

"Test complete. Results are expected within thirty-five days."

Yan Anqing carefully hid his notebook.

After the Crimson Moon Incident, although he had modified many Koreans, he hadn't arranged for any golden-eyed individuals. This was all to lay the groundwork for acquiring achievements.

Just now, he had deliberately selected a Korean keyboard warrior, a staunch pro-China supporter, transformed him into a golden-eyed individual, and copied and pasted a considerable number of Limitless Cells into him.

Yan Anqing's modifications to the world were proceeding silently, like spring rain nourishing all things.

"Now, let's research new functions."

After completing the second part of the Main Quest, Yan Anqing's image editing software gained new functions named "Copy" and "Paste."

Directly implanting superpower cells into the bodies of beings he wished to modify was merely the most basic application...
