World Domination through Planet Development - Chapter 49

Episode 49. Choi Woo-seok, 29 years old, unemployed

A foreign car that looks expensive at first glance pulls into the parking lot.

There is a large marble block on the side of the road that can be seen as the vehicle enters. Cheonseong Law Firm.

It was a phrase that told us who the owner of this place was.

The car stopped in front of the main entrance of the building. The person who opened the car door and got out was attorney Byun Ki-hoe.

Byeong-gi-hoe frowned at the pouring sunlight and looked up at the sky.

A beautiful building catches the eye.

Compared to when I used to rent a small office room, it has grown like heaven and earth.

The building is still leased, but that will be soon, if we can continue with PDC.

The name that embodies that hope is Cheonseong. It is a name created from the surname of CEO Cheon Jeong-woo. People may think it is a phrase similar to ‘I believe in human nature.’

And thanks to CEO Cheon Jeong-woo, we have reached a similar level, although we are not yet at the level of the top 5 law firms.

Byungkihoe entered the building, shielding himself from the sunlight with his hand.

“Hello, sir.”

“Good morning, sir!”

“Okay~ Let’s all work hard today too.”

Byun Ki-hoe went to his office after being greeted by the lawyers belonging to the law firm.

Before he knew it, he opened the door to his office and entered.

But inside, there was an older man sitting on the reception sofa.

“Senior! Hello!!”

The toilet bowl bowed at a 90-degree angle to the man who was about to stand up when he saw him.

“Heh heh, that’s right. Why is it so embarrassing?”

The older man is a senior member of the toilet club. He is Jo Woo-kwan, a former Supreme Court Justice who was recently recruited to his law firm.

In fact, no matter how successful the law firm of Byungkihoe is these days, it is not a name that can recruit a Supreme Court justice.

In other words, he was recruited with money. Now, the treatment of high-ranking judges and prosecutors is not as good as it used to be, so it was possible to bring them in by spending some money.

The law, which was created under the pretext of eradicating legal corruption caused by preferential treatment, once again threw them into fierce competition at a late age.

In such an era, there is no place where you can receive this level of treatment. This is especially true since there is still a lot of time left until the deadline for taking on certain cases.

“It’s an honor to have you as my ally, senior.”

“I’m more honored. What company treats you like this these days? Thanks to you, I’ve been doing well these days. Hehe.”

From Jo Woo-kwan’s perspective, it is not an empty promise. Although the size of the law firm of Byun Ki-hoe is still small, looking at its rapid growth, there is no law firm as good as it.

“Probably all the employees are gathered here. Let’s go.”

“Oh, okay.”

Since a former Supreme Court Justice has come in, shouldn’t we at least give him a welcoming speech?

All the lawyers of Cheonseong were gathered in the largest conference room in the building.

When the representative of the Byun Ki-hoe and former Supreme Court Justice Cho Woo-kwan entered, everyone stood up.

“Senior, please come this way.”

Byun Ki-hoi entered the conference room and moved to the highest seat. Judging from the empty seat next to him, it seemed to belong to former Supreme Court Justice Cho Woo-kwan.

“Now, as you all know, Attorney Cho Woo-kwan will be joining us at Cheonseong Law Firm starting today. Please give him a big welcome.”

Clap clap clap clap.

As the applause died down, Jo Woo-kwan opened his mouth.

“Nice to meet you all. Although I am the oldest, as a lawyer I am still your junior, right? Haha. Please take good care of me.”

Clap clap clap clap.

Another round of applause.

The introduction ended in a friendly atmosphere.

Originally, the plan to recruit former Supreme Court Justices was not something Byun Ki-hoe had in mind. These days, preferential treatment for former justices is not what it used to be, so you have to do what you get.

So, I didn’t really want to hire someone who couldn’t be worth their money right away. It would be better to just hire a new lawyer and train him.

However, this was done at the request of PDC representative Cheon Jeong-woo. Although he did not say anything specifically, it was a request to recruit talent that could raise the name value.

I didn’t really feel like it, but the money would come out of the PDC’s pocket anyway.

This wasn’t a problem, since it was obvious that he would be receiving a pretty savory commission through the Android rental brokerage system in the future.

* * *

The game noise is loud in the small room.

A young man was sitting in front of a computer, absorbed in a game.

Choi Woo-seok. Age 29. Unemployed.

“Hey, Choi Woo-seok! Aren’t you going to come out and eat?!”

“No, wait, I said just do this!!”

Choi Woo-seok responded with a strong reaction to his mother’s voice telling him to eat.

Tata Tang!!

While I was answering the door, I took my eyes off the door for a moment and the other person attacked me from the side.

[Minishel was killed by Bbaeng Bbaeng. He will be resurrected in 12 seconds.]

“Oh, shit. He died because of his mother.”

Choi Woo-seok muttered in a small voice and ended the game roughly.

After exiting the game, I ran the mobile game launcher. That’s 3 mobile games running on my computer.

Finally, there are a total of 4 mobile games that are played on the smartphone that Choi Woo-seok is holding in his hand.

“Haa… This isn’t enough… Can’t you increase the computer’s specifications a bit more?”

Choi Woo-seok blamed his computer’s lack of specifications. If only the specifications were higher, he could run more mobile games simultaneously.

Nowadays, everyone plays games by rotating multiple accounts like themselves. This is how you grow your character by keeping it on 24 hours a day.

There is no auto-hunting within the game itself. That is already a thing of the past. Nowadays, it is common to control the game with the help of Sarah AI.

There are many anti-hacking features that monitor external programs, so FPS games that involve shooting guns like the one just mentioned are unusable, but mobile games are a bit more liberal in that regard.

“Sarah, you should eat now, so go hunt on your own. And finish up some quests.”

[All right.]

Of course, Sarah AI’s manipulation function is only available through a paid subscription. Since I don’t have any money right now, I’m getting money from my parents for a subscription to help me study.

It wasn’t a complete lie. Since Sarah AI is so useful in so many ways, it can be used everywhere.

Choi Woo-seok left the game with Sarah and came out, but there was still nothing on the table.

“Quick, give me some food.”

Mother spoke without looking back. Choi Woo-seok sighed and silently helped set the table.

Only after the table was set did my father come out of the bedroom.

Choi Woo-seok sighed and sat down at the table, immediately picking up his spoon. He was about to scoop up some soup and taste it when his mother asked him.

“What about that interview you had last time?”

Choi Woo-seok shut his eyes tightly. Ha… The words, “Do I really have to talk about that while eating?” rose to the tip of his tongue.

“I told you that wasn’t possible… .”

“Isn’t that something else? I told you there was another one.”

“When did I ever do that?”

“Really? Try putting it in other places too. Don’t put it in bit by bit, put it in a lot. It won’t work if you just do that.”

Hurrup.

I could hear my father quietly drinking soup next to me.

“Sigh… I have to submit a separate resume for each company and prepare everything, so why do you want me to submit more? I’m submitting as many as I can right now.”

“Really? But it’s the weekend, so don’t you have plans?”

I don’t even have the strength to answer now.

“doesn’t exist….”

“It’s the weekend, so why don’t you go out and do something? You should get used to having some social life instead of just staying at home all day… .”

Choi Woo-seok gave up on answering and just let it flow, slurping down his food into his mouth.

Only after what felt like an eternity had passed did he return to the room.

“Whew… Let’s see what it’s like… .”

The first thing he checked when he entered the room was the game.

Yes, I’m not really working very hard to prepare for a job. I have some spare time, and if I wanted to submit more resumes, I could.

To be honest, if I had gone to a small or medium-sized company that was neither here nor there, I might have gotten a job a long time ago.

But he was unable to let go of the pride he held in his heart, the greed to be able to talk about even the smallest success.

ha….

However, Choi Woo-seok couldn’t concentrate on the game because he still felt the aftereffects of his mother’s nagging.

This is where Sarah AI really shines. Since it automatically plays the game, you don’t have to spend a lot of time playing it.

Choi Woo-seok was looking through his mailbox for no reason. He had already failed all the interviews his mother had asked him about, but there were still companies he had submitted his applications to. However, it seemed like there had been no news yet.

I definitely got a new email notification on my smartphone… but it wasn’t a text message saying I was accepted… .

What’s up, PDC? Did the Sarah AI terms change?

Title: PDC is hiring Android testers.

Android tester? What is this?

—.

Hello, customer Choi Woo-seok.

I am a customer support representative at PDC.

First of all, thank you very much for using our Sarah AI.

This time, as we are launching Android at our PDC, we are recruiting testers to collect customer usage experiences.

At PDC, we are at the forefront of advancing society by introducing innovative products like Sarah AI to the world.

And for the testers we are recruiting this time, we are primarily asking for participation from those who can actively use PDC products and provide feedback.

After careful consideration, we have concluded that Mr. Choi Woo-Seok is the perfect candidate for our Android tester position.

As written below, an information session for Android testers will be held soon.

Your participation will greatly contribute to our PDC goals. We hope you will attend and work with us.

For further details, please see the attached… .

What is this? Is this real? I got selected as a tester? Do I have to pay? No, I don’t think so. If I got paid, I got paid. I’ve never heard of anyone paying to participate in a test.

Have I ever had such luck in my life?

Choi Woo-seok was already optimized for using Sarah AI. He quickly picked up his smartphone and said.

“Sarah, PDC is looking for Android testers. Is this from PDC?”

Including their own advertisement? I have a feeling it’s real.

“Oh, okay, okay. I understand.”

Choi Woo-seok opened the application’s settings window, found the consent to receive advertisements, and clicked accept.

[You have accepted the consent to receive advertising. We are currently recruiting testers for Android testing, and are currently recruiting through various routes, not just the main Sara AI customer base.]

“This is real….”

Android Tester. When the price of about 100 million was revealed, there were many who said that it was worth buying at that price, but it is true that it is still not an easy price.

There was no way I would ever have a chance to write about my topic.

Let’s see. When is the briefing session?

Looking into the details, the date is next weekend. It doesn’t say specifically how the test will be conducted.

The location is Pangyo PDC South Korea branch.

Yeah, I have nothing to do anyway, so I guess I should go and do this.
