chapter 21
I took a closer look at the white-haired man’s face.
‘Are you sure!’
Unlike when we met at the entertainment bar, he was wearing horn-rimmed glasses and had a grim expression, but it was clear that he was at that time.
First of all, that white hair was strong evidence.
It’s not common to see someone with hair like that at an average age.
And seeing the forearm holding the microphone, it was even more obvious.
There was only one coin on his right forearm.
How can I forget that forearm that tried to hit me with a 10kg gold bar.
“I used to have a lot of money-”
The guy started singing a song.
right-
Then everyone in the karaoke room booed him.
‘Why is that person doing that right here?’
Why did the president of a room salon with dozens of buildings across the country suddenly become a factory employee?
I knew right away without thinking too deeply.
All the scenes unfolding right in front of me were clearly staged by him.
It’s trying to float me with clumsy acting.
It was clear that I was trying to make sure I wasn’t a police officer in the middle of an entrapment investigation before making a rather large deal of 50 kg of gold bars.
hmm-
In my head, I thought about how to match the rhythm to his situational play.
Judging from the stories and experiences he had heard while working at an entertainment bar, it was certain that he was ‘smuggling gold’.
Smuggled gold, for me, was the most delicious prey without any regrets.
In the future, I will rob all the gold of the metallurgy metallurgy.
To do that, I have to convince him that I am not a cop.
“What are we going to do now!”
I shouted at Chief Kim.
Then everyone in the karaoke room looked at me with surprised expressions.
The gray-haired guy stopped singing and turned off the accompaniment.
In an instant, silence came.
I threw more at Chief Kim.
“What are you doing by calling people from far away?!”
Then, Chief Kim’s face turned red and he was embarrassed.
“Hold on, I was going to start trading soon anyway.”
“Are we trading in used game consoles? What the hell are you doing in such a messy atmosphere!”
jump-
I got up from my seat.
And he opened his mouth to the man who was the president of Taekwang Industrial.
“Let’s pretend there wasn’t a deal.”
Then, he took a cannon phone out of his pocket and threw it at Chief Kim.
“You, don’t contact me in the future! You only wasted time!”
I strode toward the door of the karaoke bar.
It was then.
“for a moment!”
The white-haired guy shouted loudly into the microphone.
ugh-
The speaker rang.
I stopped and looked at him.
Then he smiled at me and started singing a dance song without accompaniment.
“Don’t leave me~”
.
.
.
“Go and lower the shutters.”
“Yes, boss!”
At the command of the white-haired bastard, several of his subordinates ran outside.
It turned out that the entire karaoke room was their hideout.
“You wear a factory uniform to fool the police, and you spend a lot of time.”
“Please understand. Because this level of confirmation is essential while doing this work.”
At my words, the white-haired guy smiled and replied.
My act of breaking the deal worked.
What I did earlier was something I would never have done if I had been a cop.
If he was a real cop, he would have tried to make a deal somehow to secure evidence.
“I’m Baek Kwang-jin. Just call me President Baek.”
I’m not sure if it’s real or a pseudonym, but to match the color of his hair, his surname was Baek.
After President Baek revealed his identity, the seating arrangement in the karaoke room was completely changed.
President Baek and I sat facing each other across the table in the middle, and everyone else was standing.
“But he’s incredibly handsome, and he’s tall. He is one of the most handsome customers I have ever met!”
Boss Baek didn’t recognize me at all.
When I met him before, my appearance was completely different from what I am now.
“We are both busy, so let’s finish quickly. Let’s start with the stuff! If it’s clear, I’ll give you the money right away.”
At my words, the guy tilted his head.
“Where did you get the money from? while empty-handed. Did you put 4 billion won in cash in your wallet?”
“I’m outside, so don’t worry and let’s open things first.”
“Did you come with the driver?”
“Then did I come alone with that large amount of money?”
To say there was money out there was a lie.
There was no driver, let alone a car.
Instead, I put two travel bags in my inventory.
If today’s transaction was a normal used transaction, I would create an opportunity at any time to take the bag of money from the inventory and hand it over to the seller.
However, the plan changed after I found out that the seller was President Baek and that the item I was buying was ‘smuggled gold’.
I have no intention of showing him my money.
Boss Baek shouted at his subordinates.
“hey! Go get your things.”
After a while,
drooling-
Two of his men pushed a large wheeled aluminum suitcase into the karaoke room.
however,
I’m going to go to the middle of the day
The two people pushing the bag fell down at the same time.
I used <Psychokinesis> to make them trip over themselves.
As they fell, they lost their bag.
drooling-
The aluminum bag started rolling by itself.
I used <psychokinesis> to make the bag roll toward me.
chin-
I stopped the bag with my hand.
That moment,
Flash-
The karaoke lights went off momentarily and then came back on.
This is also what I turned the light switch on and off with <Psychokinesis>.
jump-
The men who had fallen to the floor quickly rose to their feet.
I pushed the bag back at them and said.
“Be careful.”
drooling-
The bag rolled towards them.
The guys who grabbed the bags blushed and bowed toward the president of the bag.
“sorry! The floor is very slippery.”
“Noisy, bring your bags quickly!”
Boss Baek put the bag handed over from his subordinates on the table.
Then he shouted with a puzzled look on his face.
“what? Why is it so light!”
Of course it will be light.
Because the bag is empty.
clap-
He opened the bag and checked inside.
The place where five 10kg gold bars should have been inserted was empty.
“Ah, let go… Why are you like this these days…”
The guy who experienced the ’empty bag’ twice, from the tavern to the karaoke, pulled his hair out.
But perhaps because he was conscious of me, he didn’t make a fuss.
I asked while pretending.
“What’s wrong?”
“that is···. Oh, I’m embarrassed…”
“Is the gold gone?”
It was I who stole his gold.
A little while ago, when the karaoke lights went out for a very short time, I took advantage of the darkness to put my bag in my inventory and take it out again.
In that moment of less than 0.1 second, all the gold in the bag was moved to my ‘gold storage’.
‘I ate well!’
After absorbing 50 kg of gold, the feeling of fullness was satisfactory.
It was the largest amount of gold absorbed so far.
I looked at the expression on Baek’s face.
The blushing face seemed to be swallowing up anger with all its patience.
He wouldn’t even dream of the fact that I was the one who stole the gold.
hmm-
I sighed lightly and stood up.
And he murmured softly.
“It ended up being a waste of time…”
I was about to go out, but President Baek called me and stopped me.
“for a moment!”
“why? What business do you have left?”
“300kg!”
“huh?”
“Do you have money to buy 300 kg?”
“I have money.”
“Then let’s meet again in a fortnight. I won’t disappoint you then.”
I approached Chief Kim and took the cell phone he was holding in his hand.
It was the cannon phone I had thrown earlier.
I waved my cannon phone and said to President Baek.
“Call me when you are ready.”
.
.
.
ha ha ha!
I absorbed 50 kg of gold without spending a penny.
The gold purchased from the exchange was 6 kg, and the gold purchased from Kim’s office was 12 kg.
Up to the gold stolen from President Baek, a total of 68kg of gold was absorbed today.
When all the gold remaining in the original gold warehouse was combined, the holdings exceeded 90 kg.
The daily consumption of the 2nd stage factory is 3kg, so you will not go hungry for about a month.
Besides, to prepare 300kg more after 15 days…
gigg-
It was hard to keep from laughing.
Taking gold from President Baek is easier than taking candy from a child’s hand.
‘Good good!’
Now that I have some free time, I need to prepare a house to live in.
Because I can’t stay in a hotel all the time.
And I want to buy a car too.
A person who wants to buy tens or hundreds of kilograms of gold can’t just walk around.
Should I get a driver and a bodyguard too?
It made no sense to go around without a single secretary while rolling billions and tens of billions of cash.
I don’t need bodyguards or secretaries because I use magic, but it will look strange to others.
hmm-
However, writing people was not that simple.
Especially for someone like me who has a lot of secrets.
I had a sudden thought.
How nice it would be to have an ally I could trust, like the manager of the elixir extraction system, in real life as well as in my dreams.
“Everyone has arrived. customer.”
Soon the taxi arrived at the hotel.
When I checked the time, it was 1:00 AM.
‘Shall we have chicken and beer?’
I entered my hotel room and received chicken and beer delivered by room service.
And I drank canned beer while looking at the night view of the Han River.
‘Good job today!’
***
I was standing in the backyard of a factory.
I was having a lucid dream.
Oh oh-
The young tree grew rapidly.
There were only 20 leaves, but it looked like 100.
“With your care, the tree is growing well! A lot of hard work!”
The manager came up to me with a big smile.
“It has a taste of growing because it grows rapidly.”
“The tree is ready to impart knowledge to you. From now on, I can pass on two pieces of knowledge at once.”
As the tree grew, it wasn’t just the number of leaves that increased.
Being able to acquire two knowledge at once was a very welcome sound.
I approached the tree.
Then he put his finger on one of the verdant green leaves.
pat-
A light emanated from the leaves and a piece of Alan’s memory entered my head.
***
Alan was looking at a tree that had grown one step further.
‘What kind of knowledge should I put on the leaf next…’
Then a woman approached Alan.
She handed Alan the teacup.
There was dark brown tea in the cup.
“Through my previous life that Helen showed me, I was able to indirectly experience the civilization of Earth. Based on that experience, I got two great harvests. One of them is ‘coffee’. I used alchemy to create a seed that doesn’t exist in this world.”
A long time ago, Alan asked the goddess to see his past life.
Here, ‘saw’ was not simply visual.
I could even feel the scent and taste that I had experienced in my previous life.
Alan’s alchemy was not limited to minerals.
He created coffee beans by <synthesizing> and <transforming> various types of plants through alchemy.
“Even if it’s the same coffee bean, the taste of coffee is different depending on how it is roasted and brewed. That alone is enough to establish it as a discipline.”
fluff-
After taking a sip of coffee, Alan looked at the woman with an admirable look.
“By the way, your coffee tastes very good. Good job!”
She smiled shyly at Alan’s praise.
Looking at her like that, Alan put on a satisfied expression.
“The other of the two great harvests is you. No one in this world will be able to know that you are a non-human golem (magic doll).”
fluff-
Alan, who was drinking coffee, snapped his fingers.
“okay! Let’s start with how to make a golem and put it in a leaf. The me from my previous life will love it!”
