Volume 9 / Chapter 254

After running simulations from the information they have gathered until now, if 1000 people try level B advancement, 2 or 3 people will get to level A .
“The goal is 10,000 . ”
10,000 level A Lifers .
100,000 people can enter at the same time in level S missions .
10,000 cores, the other 90,000 need to be filled with level Bs .
There are at least 2 or 3 near level 9s, with as many as 6 or 7 level 8s . Those mutants under that can’t even be counted .
Even with Inferno’s group returning after keeping watch over the cocoon in White Queen’s case, she will have 5 right next to her .
Black Lord has just 2 but Korea, where he is, is a small country .
But there is very low mutant distribution relative to how small the land is, so if 100,000 Lifers enter, there will be battles everywhere they go .
They can’t just ignore everything and fight with the king .
That opportunity comes only after they have killed all of the underlings . Then, they need to have both quality and quantity .
It is naturally gold if level S Lifers are included in level S missions, but they probably won’t get rid of contribution until level A advancement .
Several troublesome matters form when looking at everything, but the biggest two are gear and mission configuration, and controllable mutants . Level A items are among the top in Life Mission’s technology .
If tens of thousands of level A Lifers form all at once, they need to be paid points but supply won’t be able to follow demand .
So testing is important, but it is also important to maintain an amount of members that they can handle .
In addition, supervisors can only control mutants genetically until level B, level 7 . There is no progress with level 8s because they lack data .
Supervisors and helpers created Life Mission after thorough calculation and long preparation . They didn’t make it in a matter of days .
It had taken dozens of years .
After going through theory in the laboratory, they executed the virtual version, and executed the reality version with 10 years of going through the virtual .
The survival of the future hundreds of years later, depends on the world they live in in this Life Mission . The most important thing to the three supervisors .
The success of Life Mission .
They need to prove who is more useful between Lifers and mutants .
Levels A through E missions are just preparation exercises for level S .
Level S is the main point of Life Mission .
The two groups will face a turning point here .
A Lifer’s position is offense and a mutant’s position is defense . They separated the roles this way since they cannot control mutants like they do Lifers . If Lifers can’t complete level S missions with some standards in place, that would be because they are more finite than mutants .
Lifers may not know, but time isn’t infinite .
It is finite .
Even at this moment, time is running out until the end .
“We can’t fail . ”
Borteth interfered because he wanted to get more results than the others, but also because he wanted to hurry up and see the end of Life Mission .
It isn’t good to drag on time .
It is a question of life and death .
Everything will end if they fail this experiment, not just the three of them . They could consider starting over, but that is impossible .
They do not have the capacity .
They are coming to the last of their resources to maintain the infrastructure, whether that is manpower or material . The energy to open dimensions drained their strength as well .
Whenever Lifers discover resources inside missions that they can’t take back to reality, they sent someone to bring them here . They used these things like equipment for Life Mission . It is because it is impossible to maintain the current state with the resources that they have now .
“Barren land…”
Borteth waved his hand and a hologram came up .
A red planet is visible beyond the universe . There, is Earth, what was once called the blue star . Nothing is left now after a long accumulation of natural destruction and occurrences of outbreaks from some point .
Borteth has never lived on Earth . It had gotten to that state before he was even born . It was just a memory of his grandfather’s childhood .
They achieved technology that can control dimension and time, but they cannot purify Earth with a population of just millions and lacking resources . Borteth is on the last ship that was created on Earth . The ship has been floating around the universe for more than 50 years with a population of millions .
And they found it . It is because they have a problem . Life Mission is the key to resolving that problem .
‘I’ll give the Africa case to you . In turn, don’t go against the rules anymore . ’
Jigneon’s proposal, Borteth moved Tyrant because of Parasite King’s cocoon . He was going to make him go through the related mission .
He lost, but he gained all of Africa on the condition that he no longer interferes . He cannot turn it down . He advanced to level 9 .
It is an incredible merit to get more level S authority over others . If he bothers Jigneon even after this, he will need to be prepared to go all the way to the end .
He doesn’t intend to do that because he doesn’t want a fratricidal war .
Borteth felt more psychological impatience than the other supervisors . Their common situation is the same .
But just as individual personalities are different, the pressure they feel is also different . Time isn’t on their side .
***
Cha Jun Sung read the details of mission reorganization on his PDA hologram, and lost interest .
The context is similar to a release of restrictions . If releasing restrictions released restrictions on Lifer level entry, this reform plan is a trick to move stagnant advancement along .
“They’re just driving us to the edge . ”
Lifer levels don’t matter . As long as they risk their lives, they can enter any missions they want and a direct route to advance to level A opens up .
The details of reorganization aren’t complicated . It can be easily summarized if they just skim through it .
The existing contribution advancement system applies to the path to get to level S . Before that, they just need to complete the mission three times .
Top Lifers can’t give them rides on buses, but they can advance without doing anything if they are lucky enough .
Though the risk is still high, unless a Lifer hasn’t completely given up and they still have some lingering desire for advancement, it is obvious they will make an attempt . Humans have a tendency to self-indulge . The desire to divert others’ envy to a sense of superiority is an instinct created by a competitive society .
There are over 10 million level C Lifers .
Even just 10% is 1 million .
How many will become level B? And how many of those will become level A?
There’s no way to know if there will be a lot or a little until the results come out . What they can be sure of is the supervisors’ intent .
“If there aren’t enough Lifers to go through upper level missions, they have no choice but to drag them up from the bottom . Especially since I’ve become like this too . ”
Cha Jun Sung is the only level S Lifer . He is closest to level S missions and he has the power to complete level A missions whenever he wants to .
He is the best source of data for the supervisors, but he has lost his qualifications to enter missions .
That’s not it .
He even killed Tyrant . He had paid the legitimate price for Borteth’s interference, but Life Mission had lost two talented Lifers .
Level A Lifers made up of Rankers and Park Jin Hyuk’s group are left, but they are all being careful . Because of that, there isn’t progress with missions .
Lifer advancement stopped at level C and mission progress stopped at level A . This is why they can’t keep up under the existing advancement system . They need to bring up the enormous manpower of more than 95% remaining in level C to get through level A . The sacrifices that come from this?
They won’t care . If the supervisors cared about things like that, the lost souls of Life Mission would cry in despair .
“Sacrifices are a definite since this is a biological experiment . ”
Cha Jun Sung thinks that the supervisors are determined to sacrifice billions if not all of them before Life Mission is executed .
