Chapter 55
Chapter 55 – SeoulPot: The Restaurant From the Future
On a quiet night, high above the glittering skyline of Seoul, the G-Force crew gathered on the rooftop of Mi Yong's apartment. What began as a casual hangout soon turned into a full-blown midnight brainstorming session—one that gave birth to a crazy, world-changing idea: creating a restaurant from the future.
Gevran spoke with fiery passion, his eyes gleaming:
> "It's not just a restaurant. It'll be completely run by smart systems—AI and robots. All designed and built by us, from scratch."
At this point in their world—the year is 2009—no real-life AI or robotics systems had ever worked in practical, everyday settings. It was all still just speculative theory, tucked away in science journals or featured in sci-fi films. Even the government had yet to implement fully operational AI.
And now, five absurdly ambitious college students were planning to become the first to make it real.
Park Jiwan grinned wide, nearly shouting:
> "We're making history! Imagine robots serving food and AI that talks like humans. This is insane—in the best way."
Mi Yong, already envisioning the headlines, excitedly blurted out:
> "STUDENTS CREATE WORLD'S FIRST ROBOT-RUN RESTAURANT! Viral-worthy title, am I right?!"
Haesung began jotting down everything, organizing their points into a draft for intellectual property rights and potential patents.
Meanwhile, Eunwoo was busy brainstorming names for their robot…
And predictably, ended up choosing his own name.
> "Of course it should be called EunWooBot. You're welcome."
Their vision was clear: SeoulPot—the world's first-ever restaurant to deliver a futuristic dining experience powered by never-before-seen technology.
And G-Force?
They weren't just rich kids with wild ideas.
They were about to launch a new era in both culinary and tech history.
A Plan So Wild, It Might Just Work
By 2:00 AM, whiteboards were filled, boba tea cups lay toppled, and half the team looked sleep-deprived—but alive with purpose.
> "We'll need a prototype kitchen," Gevran muttered, fingers racing across his laptop. "A place we can test AI behavior, robot maneuvering, and human interaction flow."
Jiwan nodded eagerly.
> "We can rent out my dad's abandoned art gallery. Huge space, good location."
Haesung added, "We also need an AI core. Something that learns from customer feedback in real-time. This has to be adaptive—fluid. Like… the iPhone of food service."
Eunwoo adjusted his sunglasses—yes, still wearing them at night.
> "And I will direct the brand concept video. Think: clean chrome surfaces, neon lights, deep synth music… and me, shirtless, flipping virtual menus."
Mi Yong didn't even look up from her sketchpad.
> "If you're shirtless in the promo, we're gonna get canceled before we launch."
Laughter filled the rooftop—but deep down, they all knew it: this was more than just a dream. It was a revolution in motion.
Funding the Impossible
The next step: funding.
Thanks to Haesung's family connection, they secured a meeting with Vanguard SeonTech Ventures—one of Korea's top innovation investors.
But there was a catch: they'd have to pitch alongside real adult startups.
Experienced entrepreneurs. Silicon Valley-level founders.
Gevran looked at the team.
> "We'll be the youngest in the room. But we'll walk in like we own it."
> "Fake it till we fund it," Mi Yong winked.
Meanwhile… in the Shadows
Cain stood in a darkened office, watching a screen showing G-Force's rooftop session—recorded via a drone camera.
> "Robots, AI, restaurants…" he scoffed. "They're not just ambitious. They're stupid."
His fingers tapped a folder on his desk.
> [INTERNAL FILE: Vanguard SeonTech Ventures – Board Members + Weaknesses]
> "Let's see how far their dream gets… when the board starts seeing red."
A figure in a hoodie entered silently.
> "I've been accepted into the campus innovation committee," they said. "They won't see me coming."
Cain smiled coldly.
> "Good. Let's poison their dream from the inside."
