chapter 30
The 10 pieces of golem construction were put together in my head.
pat-
Then, with a flash of light penetrating the brain, a complete piece of knowledge was created.
And, as usual, the knowledge was awakened in an instant.
It’s a thought I have every time I learn magic, but maybe this is what Buddhism says about don-oh (頓悟: enlightenment at once).
Anyway, now I can make golems.
Unlike other magics that consume only elixir, <Golem Recipe> is literally a “recipe,” so you need to prepare “materials.”
However, it was not a difficult material to obtain.
It was Earth and Fire.
Earth, fire, water, and air are ancient elements believed by the ancients to be the basic elements of the universe, and are often called the four elements.
Two of the four elements, earth and fire, were essential ingredients for making golems.
It was a way to complete a golem by blowing elixir into a doll made of clay and baked with fire.
‘It is made with clay and baked with fire… pottery?’
Yes.
The introduction to golem crafting was similar to pottery crafting.
By the way anyway
One more knowledge could still be passed on from the tree.
I put my finger on the other leaf.
pat-
As a bright light emanated from the leaves, a piece of magical knowledge entered my mind.
The newly learned magic was <Sense of Sound>.
It was the ability to accurately judge the height of any sound, commonly referred to as ‘absolute pitch’.
Magic made it possible to unleash the talents of musical geniuses.
‘All the different abilities come out.’
For me, who wasn’t very interested in music, it wasn’t an ability to jump up and be happy.
self-
The tree has lost its light.
You will have to wait another day to receive more knowledge.
I asked the manager.
“How long can the factory run with the gold I have now?”
“According to the plant being upgraded, we can operate for the next 209 days.”
There is no need to rush after gold for the next half year.
“But don’t be too relaxed. In the next 36 hours, Factories that were Phase 2 will be upgraded to Phase 3. After 209 days, the factory will be upgraded to level 12. A 12-step factory consumes 18 kg of gold per day.”
If the daily consumption is 18 kg, the monthly consumption is 540 kg.
Currently, 2,000 kg of gold can last for more than half a year, but as time goes by, the amount consumed increases and even if tons of gold are stored, it will not last long.
So, as the manager said, you can’t just relax.
You need to carve out a route to absorb more gold.
‘For now, take a break.’
But since I did one big thing, I will take a break for a while.

When I woke up in the morning, there were raindrops on the window.
tracking tracking-
It’s raining.
Before, I thought of taking an umbrella if it rained in the morning, and thinking about getting blocked on the way to work.
Now, the first thing I thought of was a cup of coffee I was drinking while looking out the window.
Grrr-
As the coffee beans were ground in the coffee grinder, the fragrant aroma spread.
This scent was different from when I drank coffee.
It was an attractive scent that only those who grind the beans can experience.
‘Smells good!’
I brewed a cup with a hand drip using ground coffee beans.
On rainy and humid days like today, the strong coffee is strong.
The coffee cup was placed on the table by the window.
And I opened the window slightly to hear the rain.
A cool breeze came in.
The clear smell of grass, unique to a rainy day, wasn’t bad.
Ting-
Just in time, a single thick raindrop hit the metal window frame, and a clear sound rang out.
‘G#’
Raindrops hit the windows one after another.
Ting- Ting-
‘A and D#’
Unbeknownst to me, the newly learned magic <Sense of Pitch> was activated, and I could hear the pitch of the raindrops accurately.
What is only possible for geniuses with absolute pitch is happening to me.
Ting-
Ting- Ting-
I closed my eyes and listened to the sound of raindrops.
The sound of the rain sounded like music someone had composed.
‘amazing!’
Nature has always been presenting something to us.
It’s just that we don’t feel it.
So I savored coffee while immersed in dog poop philosophy.
.
.
.
I plan to take a break for the time being as planned.
Regardless of whether Alan established the ‘Cosmic Plan’ or not, I will live my life with work-life balance.
I have a lot of money and a lot of things to enjoy, but it’s too wasteful to spend all my time working.
However, even if he rested while resting, he would prepare the materials needed to make a golem in advance and rest.
However, there is no need to go to the hills and dig soil yourself.
Because I like the world, I just need to call the company concerned whether it is soil or fire.
Order the ingredients you need ahead of time so you don’t have to waste time coming back from vacation.
I searched the internet and found a company that handles pottery materials.
I immediately called the company.
Truluru-
-Yes, it is Daehan Porcelain.
“Isn’t that a place that sells pottery materials over there?”
-Yes, that’s right.
“I want to buy a gas kiln for pottery.”
The fire required to make a golem meant a temperature of over 1,000°C.
You can make fire with magic, but rather than consuming an elixir, buying a commercially available pottery kiln and using gas will be much cheaper to maintain.
– Oh, is that so? What size kiln do you need?
I thought about it and said it directly.
“It’s big enough to fit one person in.”
-hahahaha! You have a lot of fun talking about it. Anyway, at that size, they are out of stock and must be made to order.
“How long will it take to make?”
– If you order right now, it will take about 3 weeks.
“I will order it right now. And I also want to buy soil.”
-Do you want to order taeto (pottery soil)? Then it is! I was worried because I heard people were being put into the kiln, hahahaha! You were a potter!
The soil was also of the highest quality and was generously ordered.
-If you transfer the down payment, we will start production right away! Can I send the clay to you when the kiln is finished?
“Yes. Please.”
-thank you!
I hung up the phone and immediately transferred the down payment.
Now you are ready to make the golem.

I went to a soup restaurant near my house for breakfast.
slurp-
The president of Heungsinso inhaled the hangover soup while sweating profusely.
“This house is good! This is Jin-guk, Jin-guk!”
He put a piece of radish radish in his mouth and asked me while mumbling.
“What is your next plan?”
“I did one big thing, so I’m going to rest for a while.”
“Then go abroad and rest. Because you have a lot of money.”
“I’m going abroad anyway.”
“Where are you going?”
“Hawaii.”
“Hawaii is great! But if it were me, I would go to Ibiza, not Hawaii.”
“Ibiza?”
“Don’t you know Ibiza? How can a young person know more than me…”
“You wanna die?”
“…”
I, who had lived a happy life without working overtime, couldn’t have known the names of tourist destinations in other countries.
“Do you like Ibiza that much?”
“Island of pleasure! The sanctuary of festivals, clubs and parties! A place where beauties from all over the world gather to dream of escapism! That is Ibiza!”
“Have you been there?”
“no.”
Chi-
I smiled at the head of the Heungshinso.
Then he started to finish eating the hangover soup with an embarrassed expression.
.
.
.
I got out of the soup restaurant and arrived home.
I took the head of the secret agency and came down to the basement through the outside stairs.
“Lock the door.”
“yes.”
clap-
The head of the Heungshinso locked the basement door.
I stretched out my hand into the air.
hiss-
I took Director Kim out of the inventory.
“Hey, where is this place?”
At Director Kim’s question, the president of the Heungshinso smiled and answered instead of me.
“The important thing is when, not where.”
“yes? What do you mean?”
“Take out your phone and check the time.”
Director Kim checked the clock on his phone and his eyes widened.
“Have I been passed out for a day?!”
It was the same reaction as when I first took the head of the Heungsangso out of the inventory.
I didn’t have to explain the current situation, I brought the main topic to him right away.
“Prove your worth. Then we’ll both live. If you don’t need it, you’ll die right away.”
“Proof of worth? ah! All right! Please do anything!”
“I need a lot of gold.”
“Do you need it again even after taking all the gold of President Baek?”
“Oh, I need it endlessly. So, is there any good way to get a lot of gold?”
Golem materials weren’t the only thing I wanted to prepare before leaving for vacation.
If you pre-determine the next number of times you’ll absorb gold, you’ll be able to enjoy your vacation even more.
“It’s golden…”
Director Kim rolled his eyes and was unable to speak.
Well, it’s just popped out of the inventory, so I’m going to have a good time.
However, original inspiration (靈感) is the law that pops out better in ‘a little pressure’.
“why? Can’t think of a good number? Should I just kill him right now?”
“no! there is! there is!”
“What?”
“That, that’s…”
Looking at his expression, it seems that he hasn’t come to mind yet.
I pointed my finger at him and said.
“Just give me 5 seconds! Oh, four, three, two!”
“I remembered! There is, there is!”
Perhaps he came up with a really good idea.
“I met the director of <Angel Capital> a few days ago!”
“Angel Capital? That moneylender you see on TV commercials all the time?”
Angel Capital was the first or second largest lending company in Korea.
“The head of the division is the second son of the founder Tae-soo Cheon. He’s trying to buy gold for the lobby right now!”
“okay? What do you mean by that?”
“They’re trying to buy smuggled gold!”
The general manager of Angel Capital met with President Baek to buy smuggled gold and ordered gold worth 150 billion won.
But since President Baek is already dead…
“Sooner or later we will find another smuggler!”
“therefore···.”
“If you keep an eye on Director Cheon and raid the scene where he is trading with the smuggler, you can steal the gold. You can take away not only gold, but also the cash prepared by General Manager Cheon! In a word, it’s a double blood!”
When I heard it, it was a really good number.
If done well, 150 billion won in gold and 150 billion won in cash can be taken away at once.
In a word, it was a case worth 300 billion won.
I put my hand on Chief Kim’s shoulder and said.
“good job! keep doing that Then I’ll keep you alive.”
“thank you!”
‘acceptance.’
hiss-
Chief Kim entered the inventory.
I looked back at the head of the Heungsinso and said.
“You know what to do?”
“Shouldn’t we plant wiretapping devices in Director Cheon’s cell phone?”
I nodded.
Tok tok tok-
The head of the Heungshinso immediately knocked on his cell phone.
i asked him
“What are you doing?”
“I’m trying to find out where Chief Cheon is now.”
“How are you going to find out?”
“I know a little about this person, but he is addicted to social media. I post my current situation on social media once or twice a day… uh! found! I found where General Manager Chen is now!”
“Where are you?”
The CEO of Heungsinso replied with a broad smile.
“Ibiza!”
Apparently, this vacation should go to Ibiza, Spain, rather than Hawaii.
