chapter 6
A new operation method in which porters who have been trained to operate transportable skeletons are grouped together with skeletons for rental.
This method was truly effective.
I completely offset the limitations of a skeleton that only moves with commands, by combining it with a human, and at the same time, I made the porters who had been complaining about me devastated myself in front of me.
“Please assign me a skeleton too!”
“Me first!”
Instead of an hourly wage of 25,000 won, they are safe, and at the same time, they can work without breaks, so they have a stable high income.
Of course, the captains bought the envy of the porters around them, and so many porters couldn’t help but be anxious to get assigned a skeleton.
At that time, Kang Chan-soo stepped out and stopped the porters.
“Wait! If you do, we will not assign you first! Calm down!”
Kang Chan-soo, who I personally liked, was assigned as my direct employee, in charge of training and general management for the new leader.
Skeletons do the work, sales and skeleton operations are handled by the manager, and even Kang Chan-soo, who oversees the managers.
Now, if I really sit down and make skeletons, the money will come in.
Then Kang Chan-soo looked at me and said.
“Boss, how many people are there today?”
“I made four, so two people.”
At that time, Kang Chan-soo said with a troubled expression.
“Two people? So, who should I choose…”
“You know how to do that.”
At my words, the porters all raised their hands and said,
“Me! I!”
“I can do really well! I’ll only get 20,000 won an hour!”
“what?! 20,000? hey! That crossed the line!”
As the situation escalated into overheating, Kang Chan-soo spoke in an urgent voice.
“Until now, I had chosen a decent person among my acquaintances, but now I really…”
“hmm······.”
but.
Kang Chan-soo himself isn’t even the president, so no matter how much authority he gives, he can’t do what he wants.
“see······.”
The least troublesome selection method that everyone can understand.
In the first place, the resume of porters should be there.
In other words, they do not have the ability to distinguish who they are.
Then, rather than making everyone’s dissatisfaction by comparing people clumsily, I just randomly select people through a game.
It will be unfair to those who are not selected, but you will be able to challenge yourself while aiming for the next opportunity.
“Today is the 7th, so come forward to the July births.”
Then, the porters walked out with bright expressions.
I said looking at Kang Chan-soo.
“Check your ID.”
“yes.”
That’s how Kang Chan-soo started checking his ID card to see if he was born in July.
“You are supposed to be born in August.”
“It’s a solar birthday, and the lunar calendar is in July.”
Ah… next time I should make a lottery box and bring it back.
I said with a troubled expression.
“We sleep by lift, and only count what is written on our identification cards. No matter what the birth registration is, it doesn’t work.”
Then, some of the porters who were standing sneaked back.
Kang Chan-soo, who finished all the checks, nodded that the check was complete, and I shouted out loud.
“I’m going to rock-paper-scissors. If you don’t, you lose, rock paper scissors!”
Then, the porters desperately started playing rock-paper-scissors.
At first, the draw continued, but soon they fell out one by one, and eventually the last three remaining.
“Okay, again. Rock Paper Scissors.”
Then the final winner was finally revealed.
“Yeah-ho!”
Then, the two defeated porters look at me with pitiful eyes.
It probably means that the two of you shouldn’t play rock-paper-scissors over the last spot.
But then, wouldn’t it be unfair for those who didn’t even have a chance?
“The others are eliminated. This time, I added 3 to 7 and was born in October. The reason I add 3 is just my favorite number.”
It’s a crappy election, but none of the porters here can say anything to me.
“october! It’s October!”
“We win unconditionally!”
After Kang Chan-soo finished checking his ID, Rock Paper Scissors started again.
“OMG!”
“I won!”
After a long battle, the final winner from October was finally revealed.
“ruler. Today ends with this.”
The porters look like they have a lot to say, but in the end, the porters return with a promise of the next one.
I looked at it and smiled and said.
“It’s not a bad feeling.”
It’s been a long time since my skeletons have received such a sincere welcome.
“good. Let’s keep going like this.”
*
Business is literally cruising itself.
I was making money by sitting still and making skeletons as I wanted.
but.
“It tantalizes me.”
Fearing that the fear of the undead would spread like people did in Seron, they carefully increased the number of skeletons.
But maybe it’s because it’s not for combat, and when I saw it, people’s reactions were pretty good.
“Can’t I just spray it?”
In my mind, I want to make money at random.
But if you scale up to that extent, you will inevitably get people’s attention.
After researching, the number of summoning-type Awakeners usually does not exceed 10 at most, but I have already exceeded dozens.
But what if you suddenly add dozens a day and operate hundreds or thousands?
It was clear that it would receive more overwhelming attention than now.
“I just hate being bothered…”
After wandering around the house for a while, I paused for a moment and said,
“for a moment.”
why am i worrying about this?
“If you make money in trillions anyway, you have to avoid getting attention.”
A person with a trillion-dollar fortune is one of the richest people in Korea.
It doesn’t make sense in the first place that such rich people aren’t getting attention.
“Was I too timid?”
I thought about avoiding attention because I didn’t want to be bothered, but considering my final goal, it was impossible in the first place.
What is the difference between slowly increasing the skeleton and gaining attention later, or suddenly increasing it explosively and gaining attention?
In addition, by introducing a unique means of transportation, it is already quite famous in the area.
I thought about it for a while and said.
“okay. Let’s just spray it.”
I’m just providing my abilities and making money in return.
Just because there were more transportable skeletons, it didn’t mean that they had combat power like the undead army.
The reason I was reluctant to attract attention was because I was worried that it would interfere with the peaceful retirement life I had been dreaming of.
But if you are destined to receive attention anyway, why worry about it?
I immediately picked up my cell phone and called President Park.
-Yes, boss.
“Please increase the purchase volume starting tomorrow.”
– Are you sure?
President Park said happily.
-How much should I increase it? Just say the word twice or three times…
“Now my balance is 3,200, so it’s worth 32 million won!”
-···yes?
I rent dozens of portable skeletons and now my daily income exceeds 10 million won.
From now on, all the money you earn will be invested in your bones to grow your business on a grand scale.
I need to earn money and retire soon!
– Go, suddenly?
I have no choice but to panic because I, who used to buy an average of 2 million won a day, suddenly increased my order by 16 times.
“yes. First of all, it’s 3,200, and we’re going to invest all of the proceeds in buying bones, so move quickly!”
President Park, who was silent for a moment at my words, shouted out loud.
-thank you! I will collect only the freshest ones and bring them to you!
After finishing the call with President Park, I closed my eyes and said,
“I left the purchase of bones to President Park, so that’s it, what else do I need? Um… company?”
As the amount of income increases, tax problems will inevitably arise.
So take this opportunity to start a company and do it properly.
“good. Then, rent a warehouse, set up a company, and start spraying dozens a day in earnest…”
I thought about it for a while and shook my head.
“no no. This is a bad idea.”
Sending a small number of troops in succession in a war is nothing but begging for me to defeat each one.
It would be better to gather a large army and attack them with less damage.
The same goes for this.
You can’t avoid attention, but to minimize the annoying things that will happen in the process, you should hit it all at once instead of spraying it little by little.
To the extent that opponents are rather mesmerized by the unimaginable overwhelming amount.
I said with a smirk.
“okay. Let’s push it into one room.”
*
The Gate Management Agency is an organization that covers and manages gates and monsters as well as the awakened people.
The registry office of such a gate management agency was also a kind of branch that took charge of the management of the surrounding gates and awakeners beyond simple awakened person certification registration.
“Do you have anything in particular to report?”
Therefore, it was also a part of the task to periodically gather general information about the awakened persons registered in the registry.
Among the Awoken, there were not a few criminals who fell to the wrong side and used force against humans, not monsters, and such Awakened criminals are nothing compared to the ripple power of ordinary criminals.
“Nothing special… Ah!”
The researcher who was reporting said.
“Who is that, isn’t there a special management target?”
“Special care target? Who are you talking about?”
“Han Ji-hyeok.”
“Ah, Han Ji-hyeok. That transport skeleton?”
Han Ji-hyeok received quite a bit of attention by remodeling weak summons to create transportable skeletons, maintaining as many as 32 summons, and being registered as one of the special management targets in the registry.
“What was it? I think I heard that they made up to 32 of them.”
“That’s right. I couldn’t make any more new skeletons until the last one month ago.”
However, Han Ji-hyeok was unable to show off a new skeleton any more from a month ago.
Of course, everyone thought that his summoning ability had reached its limit, so interest in Han Ji-hyeok quickly cooled.
“Why Han Ji-hyeok? You want to take it out of special management?”
“No, Han Ji-hyeok started the company. what? Seron Co., Ltd? Anyway, we open today.”
“company? hey.”
said the warden with an admiring expression.
“As expected, it’s up to you to use your abilities. Who knew you could use that weak skeleton like that. But now you have a company? Did you make a lot of money?”
“Even if you do a rough calculation, your monthly profit is hundreds of millions of won.”
“Better than most Awoken.”
“Anyway, I said this because the opening ceremony of Han Ji-hyeok’s company was today. Other than that, nothing special.”
“hmm. Then, shall we gradually remove it from the special management target? Although they have many summons, they seem to have reached their limit, and most of all, aren’t they transportable skeletons with no fighting power? I don’t see any reason why we should keep an eye on it.”
“I agree.”
“Then, by taking action like that…”
But then.
“Chief!”
An employee came in with a white expression and shouted.
“Did you hear!?”
The warden was taken aback by the employee’s words.
“What do you hear?”
“Han Ji-hyeok!”
“Ahh. Did you start a company?”
“Other than that, the transporter skeleton! Now Han Ji-hyuk is inviting a large number of porters and then scattering skeletons indiscriminately!”
Then the warden said with a surprised expression.
“Are you spraying more? Not 32? her. So you’re saying it wasn’t the limit? By the way, isn’t this amount of summons almost a new record?”
Then the researcher next to him said.
“The new record was already broken a month ago. The previous record was 27 for an Awakener from Cuba.”
“Ohh. That’s great. Should I keep this under special management for the time being?”
Seeing the director and researcher continuing their conversation so calmly, the staff member punched his chest and said,
“It’s not like that!
“Isn’t that enough?”
It was only then that the warden, feeling that something was not serious, said with a firm expression.
“Tell me straight. How many more do you mean? Maybe ten? Or twenty?”
The staff gasped for breath.
“Four, three…”
said the warden in amazement.
“Four or thirty?! So 62 in all? It makes sense to create and maintain so many summons…”
Then the staff said.
“Three hundred! That’s all that has come out so far!”
