Chapter 268 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 268

The protagonist, reflecting on the psychological toll of endless regression and the danger of excessive route optimization, decides to abandon fixed strategies in favor of romance and chaos. He declares the abandonment of Busan as a static city, shocking Noh Do-hwa, who chokes on her coffee. Lee Ha-yul unveils a blueprint for "BusaN," a Mobile Land-Based Aircraft Carrier Fortress City designed to carry the entire population (50,000–100,000 people) and industrial capacity onto a walking mechanical platform. Ha-yul details the fortress's capabilities: multi-purpose humanoid combat robots, massive beam launchers, and autonomous maintenance by engineers. The design, inspired by a "moving Kowloon Walled City" concept by Sim Ah-ryeon, intentionally creates unstable residential zones to enforce a harsh survival hierarchy for the lower classes. Oh Dok-seo enthusiastically praises the steampunk aesthetic, comparing it to Walkers and Traction Cities. Cheon Yo-hwa and Do-hwa initially resist but are swayed by the sheer audacity; Do-hwa is manipulated into agreeing when Ha-yul and the Undertaker imply they would abandon their own rail projects if she opposed this. The proposal passes by majority vote. Dang Seo-rin is assigned to dismantle existing structures using weight-reduction spells, completing the massive construction in three years while lulling residents to sleep with her magical chants. Lee Ha-yul threads marionette strings through the structure for control, managed by the protagonist’s AI, Admin of the Infinite Metagame (AOIM), which the protagonist blackmails into compliance by threatening to expose a past betrayal. With construction complete, Ha-yul installs her father, former mayor Jung Sang-guk, as the living figurehead on the bow, keeping him alive due to her "Electra complex." The BusaN launches, its Aura engines rumbling as it sets a course for the Ural Mountains. As cheers erupt, Jung Sang-guk, dangling from the bow, silently prays for death, while the group celebrates their new mobile utopia.
