Gold and Silver Alchemist

I immediately got in my car and went out.

There are certain things you must prepare before going to China.

That was the visa.

Even the Korean passport, which boasts the world’s highest ‘passport power’ that can enter as many as 190 countries without a visa, could not just enter China.

I came to the Chinese visa center in Namsan Square and applied for a Chinese visa.

Originally, you can only get it issued after about a week after you apply, but if you pay more and apply ＜Express＞, you can get it within 2 or 3 days.

After completing the visa application, we moved to Myeong-dong.

And I exchanged 10 million won in Chinese yuan at the exchange office.

‘I’m ready for my trip to China.’

Cheon Young-jin and his party will arrive at the port of Qingdao, China, on a passenger ship departing from Pyeongtaek next week.

There, they will send canned goods with dollars to a local courier in China to be shipped to Hong Kong through a delivery agency run by an ethnic Korean.

The timing for my move was the time when ＜Canned Dollars＞ was being transported in a courier truck.

So, I will go to China in advance, do some work, and then wait for the ferry.

As soon as the visa is issued, I will board a plane and depart for Qingdao Airport.

‘Then what should I do until then?’

There was nothing to do.

It’s the interior of the room, the contractor will take care of everything.

I know this well because I was once a professional programmer.

‘Customer’ should judge by looking at the final result. Intervention will ruin things in the end.

So I leave the interior entirely to the contractor, and I only have to check if there are any parts that need improvement later.

‘Should I play with the golem?’

I suddenly thought of Kim Seo-yeon, ‘my first golem’ who is having a period of stormy rage.

I’ll have to pay attention to her for the next few days.

The manager should be able to take care of the basic knowledge training, but I, as the owner, have to pay attention to her.

Let’s not forget that she is not just a machine, but a being with an ego.

‘An interest in the other person starts with understanding the other person first.’

To understand her, you must first understand how AI self-learns.

It is often referred to as machine learning.

And ‘deep learning’ is one of the various machine learning methods, which uses artificial neural networks similar to humans to find patterns in data.

AI technology has been attracting attention for decades, but AI before deep learning was at a level where even dogs and cats in pictures could not be distinguished.

But now, through deep learning, AI is developing at an incomparably faster rate than in the past.

The Go domination of ＜AlphaGo＞ was one of the achievements.

And the technology that Alan created by applying deep learning far exceeded that of modern humans.

‘Let’s check how much the Golem’s learning ability is.’

.

.

.

I came to a large bookstore near Gwanghwamun.

He came to buy textbooks to use when educating Kim Seo-yeon.

While dragging the cart, I swept everything I came across regardless of fields such as general knowledge, finance, cooking, and housekeeping.

Then, by chance, I entered the corner of Korean literature.

‘Do I need a book like that?’

I pulled out a book of fiction.

It was a collection of Korean short stories.

The first novel was ＜Camellia＞ by Kim Yu-jeong.

Along with Hwang Soon-won’s ＜Sonagi＞, it is probably a novel that few Koreans have not read.

A novel depicting the innocent love of a man and a woman of the same age as 17, the female lead ‘Jumsuni’ intentionally harasses the insensitive male protagonist who doesn’t notice her feelings for her.

The heroine Jeomsoon bullies the male protagonist’s chickens with her strong rooster.

‘Can a golem understand these feelings?’

While I was enjoying reading while standing like that, I heard whispers from far away.

“and! It’s good, it’s good!”

“Be quiet, I can hear everything.”

“why? You’re really good!”

When I turned my head to where the sound came from, two girls in middle school uniforms were staring at me.

When I looked at them, they were startled and turned their heads away.

I smiled and approached them.

“Have you guys read this?”

The children were taken aback by my sudden question.

Then I shifted my gaze to the book I was holding.

“A camellia flower? Of course, that’s even in the textbook.”

“Then do you know why Jeomsoon bullies the chickens?”

At my question, the children blushed slightly before answering with wide smiles.

“It’s because I like chicken owners.”

***

I was standing in the backyard of a factory.

I was having a lucid dream.

As soon as I got home, I lay down on the sofa in the living room and fell asleep using ＜sleep＞ magic.

Upon entering the factory, I saw Kim Seo-yeon with the manager.

“Kim Seo-yeon!”

“Yes, boss.”

she came running

Her attitude toward me was different from last night.

Looking at his calm expression, it seems that the period of stormy anger has passed.

“Follow me.”

“yes.”

I took Kim Seo-yeon and came into ＜Room of Freedom＞.

Even if you spend 100 hours here, only 1 hour passes outside.

However, it was not a phenomenon that occurred due to the distortion of time.

When an emergency occurs, the elixir is injected into my brain, speeding up my thinking.

At that time, you get the feeling that the world around you is relatively slowing down, and the phenomenon in ＜Room of Spare＞ was the same principle.

hiss-

I took out all the books I bought at the bookstore today from my inventory and stacked them in front of her.

“Read all of this.”

Another feature of ＜Room of Spare＞ is that you can summon items from your inventory to this room.

However, you cannot eat food from your inventory here.

Because it is a dream, you cannot actually eat or drink.

But I could read the book.

Cheerreuk-

Kim Seo-yeon picked up a book and quickly started turning the pages.

As if looking for money that had been put in a book, he turned it all over in an instant.

And then he put the book down.

I asked in surprise.

“what? Have you read one book already?”

“yes.”

It was a great reading speed.

I picked up the book she had put down.

Then, after turning to any page, I asked her.

“What is written on the third line on page 50?”

“Integral cosine squared x…”

A series of mathematical formulas came out of her mouth.

He had memorized an entire high school math textbook.

If this is enough, I don’t need to test my memorization skills anymore.

“Read all the other books, too.”

“Yes, boss.”

Cheerreuk-

Cheerreuk-

.

.

.

I read dozens of books in less than 30 minutes.

“I have read them all.”

I picked up the book ＜Practical stock investment＞ and asked her.

“Have you read all of this book? You understand everything right?”

“Yes, I understand perfectly.”

“Really?”

***

I woke up on the sofa.

With ＜Sleep＞ magic, you can not only fall asleep when you want, but also wake up when you want.

There was something I wanted to check right away.

I wondered if Kim Seo-yeon could really make a profit from stock investment.

If that is possible, the tens of billions of won currently held in the account will be used as seed money to invest in stocks.

In just a few years, he might become the world’s No. 1 sign.

If that’s really the case, you won’t have to go after the criminals to steal money anymore.

I will become richer than Mansour and will confidently buy gold with that money.

‘Let’s live elegantly!’

hiss-

I took Kim Seo-yeon’s body out of the inventory.

through-

Then, her consciousness automatically nestled into the golem and opened her eyes.

“Illuwa.”

I called her and sat her down in front of the PC.

Then I ran the stock trading program.

Everyone else did it, so I opened a stock account a few years ago, but I closed it after seeing a loss.

The account was dormant because it had not been used for a long time.

I authenticated myself with a certificate and unlocked dormancy.

And put 10 million won in the stock account.

“Try to taste it first.”

“Does it matter if I lose?”

It was very unsettling to bring up the story of losing money before even starting, but I readily agreed.

“doesn’t care. Do your best.”

.

.

.

4 pm.

After all the after-hours trading was closed, I checked her daily investment performance.

＜estimated assets: 8,085,345＞

＜Total return: -19.36%＞

10 million won was reduced to 8 million won.

‘Where is the person who is good at the beginning. Let’s make her study more.’

.

.

.

I read hundreds of books on stock investing all night long.

And the next morning, I challenged real-life investment again.

This time, it started with 10 million won.

And after the market closes, the results are:

＜estimated assets: 6,185,345＞

＜Total return: -38.31%＞

The loss was even bigger than yesterday.

But after only two days, I couldn’t come to a conclusion.

‘Let’s study more!’

I had them read foreign original books and papers on stock investment all night long.

Also, I made them watch paid videos of ‘stock masters’ who fly and grow.

And tried again the next day.

This time, it started with 10 million won.

And after the market closes, the results are:

＜estimated assets: 885,345＞

＜Total rate of return: -91.18%＞

I started with 10 million won, but I have less than 1 million won left.

The more I tried to study, the bigger the loss.

She opened her mouth with an embarrassed expression.

“It is strange. Obviously today is a day full of gold energy, so I invested in steel and shipbuilding.”

I was devastated by her chanting.

“Did you do stocks with Yin-Yang and the Five Elements?”

“Yes, there is that method in the stock investment video… I couldn’t make a profit using any other method, so I tried it just in case… But that’s also useless.”

I nodded with a bitter expression.

“i get it. Let’s never do stocks in the future.”

So, for the second time in my life, I faced a painful loss from stocks.

I asked the woman who was making an apologetic expression.

“Why did Jeomsoon hate the chicken?”

At my sudden question, Kim Seo-yeon blushed and opened her mouth.

“Because I like the chicken owner.”

***

I finally got my Chinese visa.

As soon as I received my visa, I headed straight to Incheon Airport.

And I arrived at Qingdao Airport on a 1 hour and 30 minute flight.

“It’s been a while in China!”

This time, President Park also came by plane, not from the inventory.

When I came out of the airport and walked down the street, it smelled quite uncomfortable.

It was a strange smell that you may or may not have smelled before.

“Oh, what does this smell like?”

As I frowned, President Park twitched his nose and smiled.

“It smells like Chanchai.”

“Shangchai?”

Xiangchai is a spice often used in Chinese food, and was famous as a herb that most Koreans dislike.

However, people who like them like them so much that their likes and dislikes are sharply divided.

“I love Chanchai so much.”

“I think I will throw up. I’m going to have a hard time eating.”

“Do not worry. Since Qingdao is a tourist city, there are many foods that suit Korean tastes. I’ll see you right! Let’s go find the lodging first.”

President Park was excited and took the lead.

I followed him, looking at the streets of China, where I had never been before.
