Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 1)

Chapter 81: The Third Job (7)

"..."

"It would be nice if you could fulfill my request just this once. I didn't really mean to ask this of you, but since you insisted..."

It certainly didn't seem like I had misheard her request.

I didn't want to get involved in any romantic ventures that could happen between the two. However, I felt like it was only natural for me to wonder why she wanted this.

"Since when...?"

"Never mind when... It's because Park Deokgu hasn't left my mind..."

Was it because they had similar characteristics?

"I encountered him in the restaurant once. He looked at me so indifferently, but those eyes... I've been thinking about him ever since."

It felt a little embarrassing to witness this side of Hwang Jeong-yeon. However, she did mention being into bigger guys, so I guess that was to be expected.

Objectively, Hwang Jeong-yeon was a very pretty girl. She had a soothing atmosphere that could make a person feel relaxed just by being in her presence. She had her hair tied to one side that went past her shoulders, complete with a thin, little smile. I felt like there was something different about her. At the same time, I couldn't believe it only took Park Deokgu ten seconds to capture this woman's heart.

Meanwhile, it had taken me quite some time to get Jung Hayan to develop feelings for me. It felt a little embarrassing to admit this, but I knew I had to accept it at one point.

"I'll be sure to find a way."

"Ah... I think he's a really good person, and is someone I could come to trust. I think we'd be a good fit, don't you think? If you could help me out..."

"..."

"Ah, but I'd be eager to help you out in exchange! I won't interfere with your research!"

"Don't worry, I'll keep my word. However, you have a lot of work to do."

"Thank you, and of course!"

With that, I had gotten myself a competent assistant.

It didn't matter whether Park Deokgu and Hwang Jeong-yeon became lovers or not, but I thought there was a good chance that they would be. I knew Park Deokgu would react accordingly if I praised her in front of him since he trusted me completely.

Bearing this in mind, I concluded that the price was reasonable. In any case, I wouldn't lose anything trying to play matchmaker. If they got together, then Park Deokgu would probably stop hanging around my workshop, and I would be able to do my research in peace.

"Then let's get started, doctor."

"Let's do that, assistant."

With that, we set right to work.

Very little time had passed since then.

"Did you find anything of use?"

"Not yet. But it doesn't mean I won't, soon enough."

I wasn't trying to create anything that could be called revolutionary. After all, I was using Jung Hayan's method and reconstructing it to fit my style.

I needed this to increase my stats and to find me my new job. I had managed to increase my stats at the beginning of our research, but the progress slowed down once we reached the second half. Like before, the efficiency of stat increase by using the catalyst had begun to dwindle.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Like what I said last time, I've been trying to see if alchemy can also compress and maintain the magic within a catalyst, and if there's any way to harness genetic information with this type of magic."
