What are you doing?

"Nothing?"

While I was resting, Jung Yi Joon approached me and blocked my sunlight. I shooed him, telling him to get out of the way, but Jung Yi Joon just smiled wryly and shifted over to block the sun more.

"Ah, what are you doing? Move aside!"

"Hoo, look at you. Now you dont want to have anything to do with me?

"What are you saying, really?"

"You molested me like that and now you have no use for me anymore!

Jung Yi Joon smiled when he started talking, but then he suddenly frowned as if he was making a joke and got serious. Then he began to act sticky.

You still have business with me, right? Hmm? Did you kiss another guy without me knowing?"

"Aish, be quiet! That's embarrassing. What's the matter?

I was caught off guard by Jung Yi Joon's question, asking if I kissed another guy. Fortunately, I was able to pass it off smoothly.

Also, why was this hypothetical person's gender a man, not a woman? Of course, I supposed that men had a higher gender ratio than women I didn't know why this kept happening even if this place was originally a harem fantasy. Jung Yi Joon studied my face for a while before resolving his doubts because of my composure.

"Hmm I see. I don't think you did anything. Keep it up! If you do it with someone else, you'll die! Do you get it?

"What dying are you talking about? Aish

I really was cursing. If I had this ability, shouldn't I be able to use various skills? I was annoyed by Jung Yi Joon's stubborn behaviour but I nodded my head as he rolled his eyes.

I didn't know what he would do if he got mad. So I had no choice but to forfeit Keep in mind that I was not scared of him.

Anyway, Jung Yi Joon laid on the bed next to me with a satisfied face. After all, the researchers were no longer talking. Tanisha was standing in the corner, calling someone on her cell phone.

Like I said! It's not like theyre presenting the results of the research on our behalf! They want us to just share the information, and that's such a big deal?"

!

What? You're calling Senior Ki? Are you trying to embarrass us now? I told you to go when we finished talking yesterday. And yet, when it came time to talk to the people who live here, you scowled at me for being unreliable' and how awkward do you think I am as a mediator now?

Tanisha screamed into the phone until her face reddened. I could overhear the conversation from here, but when Tanisha's gaze turned toward me, I turned my head and pretended I didn't hear anything. After arguing with the other side for a while, Tanisha came to me again; it seemed she had finally gotten an answer.

Its good now, Mister. I consulted with the top and it was approved.

That was nice and quick."

It's not a joint research. All research results will be published in the name of the United States. Also, even if Mister receives the results of this research, they cannot be published or presented anywhere."

Nevertheless, I still wanted this. She looked apologetically at me. However, the research results on the bull were only a bonus, and they didn't matter much in the end. There was something else I really wanted.

It's okay. Its all approved? What about buying the stuff that comes from the research?

"That's also approved but We don't have a prototype and you don't know what kind of product will come out. Regardless, are you still going to buy it?"

"Well I'm not saying I'm definitely buying everything. It's just that a product will come out based on the research, and my final decision is that if I need it, I'll buy it."

"Hmm I think you arent putting enough trust in our ability Well, fine. That was approved anyway. Unless you decide to hand it over to other countries at a lower price.

I chuckled. Unlike Tanisha, who didnt like to share the results of her research, for me the results played a supporting role. All I really wanted were the things they would make with it.

That's because they'll soon invent a gate outbreak tracker and a gate-level detector.

They were the ones I wanted.

No matter how good the Sungwoon was, its scientists could not surpass the research team at SNT, who had studied it for many years under the support of the government.

The labs calibre was definitely different, and I was being cooperative because I thought it'd be better to exploit them rather than struggling and chasing after them.

Just in case. Hopefully, Ill get to see results a little sooner because of my cooperation.

The gate appeared three years early anyway. There was no reason for the research not to be early as well. I wanted to bring in the person who developed it over to my side but I did not know what their name was because it wasnt mentioned in the original novel. I gave up trying because the United States would not let such a person go anyways.

The gate tracker and level detector were necessary because their supply directly correlated with the risk our team would take on if they were not available. Later on, the government would be able to broadcast danger alerts by finding out where the gates appeared and what their levels were, but before this was possible everyone would be on edge because they didn't know where a gate would suddenly pop up.

The deal would become a disadvantage for the U.S. government later, as it would have to hand over such things without making any political gains or receiving any compensation.

Of course, it was a very good thing for me. Tanisha looked at me smiling and said she didn't understand, but that was only for a moment. Soon she started pleading with me again.

Mister we haven't signed the contract yet, shouldn't I ask for a witness first? I'll let your friend"

"Hmm okay. It's a verbal contract, but I won't change anything later."

Thank you! If youre made to change anything else I will not tolerate it. I don't like bosses who dont hold their word. If that happens, can I quit the institute and submit my resume to Sungwoon?"

"Haha! If you do, we'll welcome you with open arms!"

Tanisha and I laughed loudly. Of course, she was probably joking, but I was serious.

Shes a researcher certified by the United States I want that.

I was hoping the United States would object to the proposal. Hiding my true feelings, I got up from my sunbed. The bull was still sleeping on the lawn, ignoring the researchers who were peering at him.

I approached the bull. When the bull heard my footsteps, it opened its eyes, and calmly closed them again when he saw that it was me.

It was foaming when we tried approaching though

One of the researchers in the back mumbled in a frustrated voice. It was strange. Picking one person out of a pool of people? What was the condition of being picked?

Before, I would have had to bring in Jang Eui Yeol to help the researchers, but

I don't have to do that now.

It would only be for ten minutes, since I was only borrowing his ability. I opened the skill window and tapped on the slot containing Jang Eui Yeol's ability. Then, suddenly, the world changed.

Ah

This was how Jang Eui Yeol saw and felt the world. Something similar to a thread was connected to me and the bull from my body. There were two more threads that extended far away.

The two red strings representing the bull's mood and thoughts connected to one thread. Through its thread, I could sense that the bull was delighted to bask in the warm sun.

Why is this one a different colour?

As I mentioned, there were actually three in total, and a small animal was caught at the end of the other red thread. Perhaps it was a divine beast disguised as a pet. So what was this golden thread?

I grabbed the thread and screamed in surprise.

"Uwaa!"

I saw something I shouldnt have seen: the embarrassed face on Jang Eui Yeol's face as he bathed.

What's wrong?"

"Mister?"

Tanisha and Jung Yi Joon approached me, surprised by my sudden scream. I waved my hands to say it was nothing and rubbed my face.

So this is what it feels like when I borrow Jang Eui Yeol's ability.

Instead of being able to tame something new, it seemed that I borrowed what he had already tamed. And I was even connected with the owner of the ability.

I didn't intend to see it, but Jang Eui Yeol as expected from the main character of a harem story. Thats right THAT should be enough to build a harem I nodded unconsciously. Jang Eui Yeols voice rang in my head.

"By any chance did you see?

"Nno, I didn't see.

I lied for the sake of his mentality. His shared vision was dark, as if he was covering his face with his hands.

A gold thread connecting to me suddenly appeared, and I was wondering what it was, and seeing that it led to Yoon Jae, I guess you used your ability.

Mhm you are right.

I roughly explained the current situation, in order to help the United States study the bull brought from the gate in return for what they promised.

I was flustered while I was talking. Come to think of it, the ownership of this bull ultimately belonged to Jang Eui Yeol. I was worried that he might feel upset because I took liberties and made a deal using his bull.

T/N: Okay So THAT' got caught in 4k anyhow I decided to made my own server for better communication and notification, it's not good yet so don't expect much hahaha. Here is the link: https://discord.gg/NNHzqeeswu
