How a Calamity Necromancer Retires

Skeletons, many times more than before, are making shoes 24 hours a day without a break.

And the shoe factory, which was renamed Seron Shoes, was a shoe factory where existing employees worked in shifts to assist in the details that such skeletons could not do.

Kim Deok-bae said with an expression that he was moved by the factory in full operation, which he hadn’t seen in a long time.

“How long has it been since you’ve been so busy…. It’s all thanks to the CEO.”

“What is it, the sales were all done by President Kim.”

“By the way, maybe I set the margin too low?”

“It’s okay, it’s okay.”

China has risen to the ranks of the world’s largest manufacturing countries by destroying other countries’ manufacturing industries in an instant with ridiculously low prices.

There is already a good precedent, so I should do the same.

Exfoliation is a business method that maximizes the strengths of Skeleton.

“If you’re going to sell it cheap anyway, you have to sell it shockingly cheap so you can hit it like crazy.”

Surprising and shocking at the same time.

Undead’s main specialty.

“Look, look. Thanks to you, you have such a sense of work, right?”

Korean products with a better image than Chinese products are even cheaper.

Of course, not only Chinese buyers like Lim Yong-gi, but also buyers from all over the world came to the shoes with a bored expression, were surprised at the low price, and ordered new shoes at a similar unit price when they said that custom-made products were possible.

Thanks to this, I indiscriminately increased the number of skeletons to match, and the amount of shoes produced per day in this small factory reached 9,000.

“Increase the order quantity at a low unit price, and when the order quantity increases, increase the skeleton, repeating infinitely. You have to make money this way.”

It may start small, but once it starts rolling, it grows exponentially, the so-called snowball effect.

I am the most optimized for this kind of snowball.

As long as the undead are not destroyed, they provide me with infinite labor.

So, for now, it doesn’t matter if you look at the minimum margin, so focus on increasing your size.

As the company grows, money comes automatically.

Besides, wouldn’t it be possible to do consignment production with manufacturers only when the scale is increased so quickly?

“Sell more cheaply, then sell more cheaply, then more more. It’s simple, right?”

“It seems that CEO Han is the only person in the world who can say that it is simple…”

Anyway, I’ve been struggling for 30 years, but I have to do this much.

Deokbae Kim nodded and said.

“Anyway, I got it. However, according to what you said, it seems that it is time to increase the number of skeletons as the factory cannot handle all orders even if the factory operates 24 hours a day… There is a problem.”

what’s wrong

Skeletons made as spares are overflowing in the subspace.

At that time, Deokbae Kim pointed to the factory with an awkward expression and said,

“There is no place to place additional skeletons.”

“uh?”

The labor force is rotten and overflowing.

Orders are pouring in.

Seron is cruising so much that a normal company would scream of joy.

However, there was only one thing that such a theory lacked, and it was space.

Seron shoes, which have been filled with 100 skeletons and existing employees.

“That’s right. There is nowhere to lay a line.”

“yes. The factory is fully saturated.”

I didn’t think of this.

But what, is this going to be a problem?

“We take over a new factory, what.”

If you run out of space, just increase it.

“That’s not a bad way either, but shouldn’t we be a little more careful?”

“discretion?”

“The main consumers of these low-priced shoes are developing or underdeveloped countries. Now, everyone is ordering it because they are cheap Korean shoes, but how long will this trend last? Wouldn’t it be a big deal if a situation arises in which a factory is taken over and the factory is teased because of a shortage of goods?”

Kim Deok-bae still has the mindset of a small factory owner.

At that, I smiled and said.

“What does that matter?”

“yes?”

“If you tease, you’re teasing. How much is the labor cost?”

The biggest obstacle to increasing the size of the company is that the size of the business is good, but the recession comes and the labor cost of newly hired employees accumulates as a loss. I am flexible because most of the workers are skeletons, right?

Just put it in a subspace and throw it away.

Of course, there are existing employees, but that’s more than enough to cover the income earned now.

At my words, Deokbae Kim nodded with a blank expression and said,

“okay. I still can’t get used to this.”

“You don’t have to be big to sign a consignment contract with a famous brand anyway. Taking this opportunity to take over another shoe factory, well.”

What to look out for

When the spell explodes, you have to increase the size to make more money faster.

Quickly and unexpectedly, in an amount no one thought of.

“Or well, you can rent a factory and buy just a cutting machine and bring it in. If the cost of the machine is burdensome, you can make it all by hand by skeletonizing it.”

“Can you do it manually?”

“The labor cost is cheaper than the machine, from my point of view.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“What should I do. take over? Just rent a factory? What do you think would be better?”

Deokbae Kim looked at me slightly and said.

“From my personal greed, I think In-soo would be better. Although there are skeletons, we still need manpower to fill the gaps. If anything, you’ve already mastered it…”

I said with a smirk.

“I don’t care, just say it. I plan to just manage the skeleton and leave the operation to President Kim.”

How can I do all those annoying things?

“Instead, if you pick something big, I’ll give you an incentive, so try your best.”

Kim Deok-bae bowed his head and said.

“Thank you, CEO!”

“Please recommend a company worth acquiring.”

“yes! I’ll find out right away! Everyone will love it!”

*

“thank you!”

Prior to being acquired by Seron, shoe factories in a similar situation to Deokbae Kim’s factory accepted the offer as soon as they received the takeover offer.

Anyway, this completes the acquisition of the 4th shoe factory.

“What.”

It really blows like a storm.

Of course, the factory suddenly expands and cannot be operated 24 hours a day like the first factory, but there is still enough stock.

“ruler. Then the skeleton…”

“Hee!”

Since I have already seen it many times, I immediately put it into work without any reaction.

Skeletons who have already upgraded their sewing macros to version 2.3 and now work like skilled workers.

But whatever it is, in the end, the finish is up to me.

“From here to here… and then…”

This is because the location of the workbench is different for each factory and the traffic line is different.

After finishing all the basic setup work, I told Deokbae Kim’s subordinate who had followed me.

“Please take care of the rest.”

“Yes, sir.”

Now, this staff member will train the staff here on how skeletons and humans work together, and the deployment is complete.

“phew. Now go home and rest…”

But then, a call comes from Deokbae Kim.

“···ah.”

I said with a deep sigh.

“Whoa. That’s me.”

-I… CEO.

“Please speak.”

-I think I need to adjust the production of each line because I received an order…

As for sewing and cutting, this has already been raised to a higher level because you only need to sew and cut according to the prescribed line, but in the end, the skeleton only repeats the same action according to the injected command.

In other words, if there is a change, such as when a new order comes in and a different shape of decoration is applied, I have to take the initiative myself.

The problem is that as the number of factories increased and the number of orders increased, the number of places I had to go also increased.

“I’m from Chungcheong Province now.”

-sorry. But it’s a pretty big order…

“ha.”

What can I do?

It’s what I did, and I have to do it.

“I will leave now.”

– I’m sorry, CEO.

After finishing the call, I murmured.

“This is a problem.”

It’s hard that I’m having a hard time, but Kim Deok-bae also got an order at best, but he has to apologize to me and ask for coordination.

“At this rate, both of you will be exhausted and fall out?”

People who have to carefully ask for detailed coordination every time, and me who can’t refuse their request.

If this continues, an accident could happen because I can’t fix the design in time while watching my own eyes, and more than anything, I know myself well.

If you work too hard like this, the annoyance will quickly explode and you will be retired, so I am the one who will let go of everything.

“I need to do less work.”

But how?

“Should I even raise a disciple?”

How about teaching some magic and making it work for me?

But again, it’s not that easy.

“sh*t. I will spend all my time raising disciples.”

It takes a long time and a lot of guidance and effort from a master to make one wizard do his part.

That’s why wizards didn’t take in disciples easily, and because of that, the threshold was raised even higher, and they endured all sorts of bizarre things to become disciples of wizards.

Bribes are basic, from chores to chores, even to things you can’t even talk about.

Anyway, this is like trying to lighten things up a bit and only increase the load.

In addition, if magic suddenly pops out in a situation known as an Awakener, there will be more uproar in a situation where you are noticing.

Magic, unlike awakening, can rise to a certain level with effort, so people who have not awakened may turn their eyes and run to me to accept me as a disciple.

“pass. This is more annoying.”

So, is there any way?

A way to relieve my work.

“I just need to set the basic frame and do the detailed coordination for me… huh?”

At that time, I see the computer I was using for office work at the factory I had just acquired.

“…If you think about it, this is no different from a program.”

Programs that follow instructions.

And the people who write the instructions so that such programs can run are called programmers.

In other words, I am a kind of necromancer programmer.

But that doesn’t mean that only programmers can use computers.

It is a program that makes commands easy to use and provides to everyone, and many people use and enjoy a computer using this program.

In other words, they say that they can handle and use a computer enough, even if they don’t know the commands.

I said with my eyes shining.

“Wait a minute… If you combine this well with the Skeleton Mage…”

*

“Whoa.”

The man took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

“hello. This is Baek Sang-ho! I’m 30 years old, and what I’m told to do is nothing… nothing… Ah!”

Baek Sang-ho scratched his head and said.

“I’m arriving soon, what are you doing!”

The taxi driver who glanced at Baek Sang-ho said,

“Are you having an interview?”

At those words, Baek Sang-ho said with an embarrassed expression.

“ah. yes. hahahaha.”

“What are you doing?”

“I am a programmer.”

“oh!”

The taxi driver said with a surprised expression.

“programmer! He said he got a good job. what is it. The IT company said they were trying to bring each other.”

“ah······.”

This was one of the most common mistakes common people make when they think of programming.

Of course, it is true that giant IT companies are scrambling to recruit programmers, but what they want is a high-level programmer who has real skills and can put it into practice right away, not a bunch of idiots who learned roughly at a computer academy.

However, many people who don’t know that are tempted to study by paying expensive academy fees when they hear that they can get a good job, but in the end, they often collapse in front of the high wall of reality.

And Baek Sang-ho was also one of those who collapsed in front of the wall.

But you can’t say this directly to the taxi driver.

“Well… they say so.”

The taxi driver laughed and said.

“hahahaha. My son is also studying programming, and I hope there will be good results.”

At those words, Baek Sang-ho stunned and said.

“…Are you going to school by any chance?”

“yes. I go to a famous academy in Gangnam. what was that? A better computer? I am attending an accelerated C course there.”

Then Baek Sang-ho spoke in a low voice.

“It’s a junior.”

“Junior?”

“yes. I’m from that academy’s C course accelerated class.”

Then the taxi driver said happily.

“Is that true? hey If you’ll excuse me, may I know which company you’re going for an interview with? My son is due to graduate soon too.”

“ah······.”

At that time, I thought for a while about how to answer.

“uh? We have arrived.”

The taxi driver who arrived at the address Baek Sang-ho told me said while reading the company name outside the window.

“Co., Ltd. Seron?”

It was a sample itself of a shabby and small company that is commonly referred to as good.

The taxi driver felt something and spoke in a quiet voice.

“…do you think so?”

“···yes.”

“really?”

Baek Sang-ho said at the words of the taxi driver who denied reality.

“Still, the salary was high.”

Then the taxi driver, who was silent for a moment, said with an awkward smile.

“Then, take a good look at the interview.”

“yes. thank you.”

Baek Sang-ho got off the taxi like that.

At that time, the taxi driver’s shout is heard from the taxi going away.

“Hey, you bastard! Do you think I paid for that expensive academy fee!? Just hit me! Beat it up and just find something else!

Hearing this, Baek Sang-ho muttered quietly.

“The real salary is high.”

It wasn’t a lie.

Seron announced a new employee and the starting salary was 5,000.

It was not a starting salary that could be easily received in such a small company.

That’s why Baek Sang-ho, who was in despair, came here holding on to the last string of hope.

Baek Sang-ho said with a determined expression.

“Absolutely passed! must!”

*

“Baek Sang-ho!”

Baek Sang-ho entered the interview room nervously at the words calling him.

“Sit.”

Baek Sang-ho, sitting in a chair, lowered his head and said.

“Please take care of me!”

Then, the young man sitting in the center put his index finger to his mouth with a sad expression and said,

“Shh.”

“ah. yes.”

The man who was looking through his resume for a while looked at Baek Sang-ho and said,

“The resume is all there. Do you like games?”

sudden game?

Baek Sang-ho, who rolled his head furiously, wondering whether to say well is an added bonus or to say badly is an added bonus.

‘Young man. That person must be the representative of Han Ji-hyeok, a summoner-affiliated Awakener, right? It’s a game after all…’

In fact, Baek Sang-ho is more confident than anyone else when it comes to games.

‘okay. You are a young representative. Let’s run this.’

“I like! A lot of that too!”

“Ohh. is it so? What games do you like?”

“I love all types of games!”

The opponent is a young rich man who is already making a lot of money.

Baek Sang-ho desperately began to appeal to the idea that he might be able to buy favor with the game.

“Once you play the game, 2,000 hours is the default, so I heard a lot of standing water!”

“Do you like games like that? A simulation game that you create and manage, or a game that you create.”

Simulation games and crafting games!

This was the field in which Baek Sang-ho was most confident.

Said Baek Sang-ho, who was excited.

“This is my favorite game! I feel the most satisfaction when using limited resources to achieve optimal efficiency! And making is my specialty!”

Then, suddenly, Han Ji-hyeok said with his eyes shining.

“Production is special. Is there anything you can show me?”

“I have a video I recorded. Can I show you?”

“Bring it.”

Baek Sang-ho said while showing a video of his masterpiece that he posted on a video site as a joke.

“Originally, this game is just a game where you freely combine parts to create a golem and fight an opponent, but I wasn’t satisfied with that, so I made an airplane and made it float in the sky.”

A masterpiece that I made while listening to the sound of Jinseong stagnant water when I was living an unemployed life.

Although he can only draw because he can’t beat his opponent because he’s floating in the sky, what’s important to a deceased person is fun and originality, not victory or defeat.

“Oh oh!”

Then Jihyeok Han said with his eyes shining.

“So originally, this kind of golem was made with small parts, but you made an airplane out of it? Fine control and concentration. It’s good.”

“yes! This is a very sophisticated physics engine, so a motor attached to the arm of the golem is attached to the bottom for propulsion… Ah.”

Baek Sang-ho, who was excited about introducing the masterpiece, thought in shock.

‘Are you too excited? Dropping it just because it looks light…’

But at that time, I heard Han Ji-hyeok’s voice.

“pass! Absolutely pass!”

You will be notified of your acceptance right during the interview.

Baek Sang-ho said while bending his waist at 90 degrees.

“thank you! thank you!”

“Get to work starting tomorrow!”

*

Baek Sang-ho, who hugged his mother in tears, saying that he had finally graduated from unemployed.

Baek Sang-ho, who went to work excitedly thinking that he would be assigned a computer because he applied as a programmer, looked at something with a stunned expression and said,

“what is this?”

A large board made of bones is full of various buttons and levers that seem to be necessary for control, and a skeleton is attached to the front of the board.

“It’s a computer.”

“computer? this one?”

It looks like a skeleton crumpled into a rectangular plate. Is this a computer?

“A skeleton control console, to be exact? Let me show you.”

Han Ji-hyeok said while moving around the skeleton control console.

“ruler. look. Now this skeleton will turn to the right once and then raise its left hand.”

“···yes?”

While Baek Sang-ho was absent-mindedly, Han Ji-hyeok pressed a button on the console.

Then, isn’t the skeleton really turning to the right once and then raising its left hand?

“Did you see it?”

“No… I saw it…”

“Because I can control this skeleton with this?”

Han Ji-hyuk smiled brightly and said.

“I will teach you how to operate it, so please implement national gymnastics with this skeleton within a week.”
