The team leader confidently nodded to my question as to whether it was commercially viable.
“It’s not enough, it’s overflowing. Because I want to buy it from now on.”
right?
“If I had the money, I would unconditionally add an option. Of course… if you have the money…”
To be honest, as the team leader said, a can that I made, but without an option added, doesn’t look very good.
But that’s better.
After all, options will become a necessity rather than an option for those who have a lot of money.
“What do you think the custom cost is?”
When I told the team leader how much I thought, I said with a worried expression.
“The basics are fine, but the options are a bit expensive.”
must be expensive
If anyone could afford it, would it be a luxury?
The basic plain shirt is for people who really need a ride, and the option is literally for bluff, so get it expensive.
Simple, right?
“Chief, can you take a little more vacation?”
“It’s slowly coming to an end…”
“Instead, if you decide to buy it later, I’ll give you 30% of it.”
The manager immediately nodded and said.
“I will use all the annual leave.”
great.
“Then what we’re going to do now is create a custom option design.”
Choose one of these.
The armor is designed like this, this is what, this way.
Of course, the more beautiful and stylish it is, the more expensive it is.
Then, if you periodically create and release new designs, you can make money with the already sold nemesis.
“ruler. First of all, the armor and the shape and color of the eyes…”
But then.
“CEO!”
The warehouse door opened and Baek Sang-ho, who was now promoted to the team leader, came in with a skeleton console and said:
“All line adjustments have been completed as directed… Wow!”
Baek Sang-ho, seeing the spirit horse, said with his eyes shining.
“The day will come when we will see the undead mount in real life. Wow······.”
right.
By the way, did Baek Sang-ho also like games?
“Would team leader Baek come over and try out some designs? I was trying to create a custom design to apply.”
“Are you really?”
Baek Sang-ho, who ran one step at a time, raised his pen and said:
“Rather than too black, with a silver base to match the color of the bones, here’s a little more glamorous…”
Baek Sang-ho, who had been drawing for such a long time, said.
“It’s done!”
I said with a surprised expression when I saw the finished design.
“Five! Is this good too?”
If the team leader’s work is strong and powerful, Baek’s design is much more refined and elegant.
Even from the paint job, the team leader was black while Baek Sang-ho was silver.
Then the manager said with a firm expression.
“Isn’t this too fragile? Naturally, if it is an undead mount, you should feel strong just by looking at it.”
Then Baek Sang-ho reacted and said,
“Abandon the prejudice that an undead must be black, because harmonious elegance also combines strength.”
A battle of pride between gameworms and bluffs.
good, good
Well-intentioned competition produces great results.
Considering various tastes, the custom range is also expanded.
I said with a smirk.
“Then do both. Let’s see who makes the best and who gets more choices. If Baek Sang-ho gets a lot of choices, he gets a special bonus. Additional discount if the team leader has a lot of choices. how about it?”
Then the team leader and Baek Sang-ho both burned their will and said,
“Leave it to me.”
“I am an expert at this!”
The two of them began to immerse themselves in design.
First of all, we create with the help of these two people, and then we hire a real designer to expand the scope of customization.
It sucks money up, just like the game periodically releases new skins to increase sales.
“ah!”
Shall we sell not only the design but also the emotional expression as an option?
I’ve only made about 10 of them right now, but these are installed as standard, and after that, whenever a new expression of emotion comes out, I sell it for money.
Well, I won’t include the combat function because it’s cumbersome, but if there are other minor function upgrades, I sell them.
“Hey. It will be salty.”
This is why people have to use their heads.
What do you need to work hard and run?
Selling the nemesis and just changing the skin will make a lot more money.
I said with a bright smile.
“ruler. Shall we have some fun?”

After completing all the preparations, Ceron rented an event hall and held the first sales ceremony.
Naturally, many wealthy people.
In particular, a large number of awakened people participated, and the atmosphere of the sales ceremony heated up.
I got up on the podium and smiled.
“Nice to meet you. This is Han Ji-hyuk.”
Then the participants began to gossip.
“Are you presumed to be an A-class representative?”
“You saw the video. If you want to have that kind of firepower, you have to be A-class.”
“I’m an A-class, and I make money by sitting as a summoner. I’m really envious. Why didn’t I wake up with that kind of power…”
In your eyes, it seems that you and I have suddenly become stronger, but you and I, who gained strength by waking up from sitting still, have a completely different starting point, right?
Do you know how many hurdles I went through to get here?
I thought to myself …, but everyone here is my prospective customer.
should be treated kindly.
I said with a bright smile.
“First, let me give you a brief explanation. The necromancer is created by thoroughly reflecting individual preferences. Let me show you the basics first.”
As I beckoned, the spirit horses prepared for sale at this sale show up on the podium.
There were 10 necromantic horses of 3 types, including Demora and a lower level monster similar to that of a horse.
“uh······.”
“Is that the basic form?”
I said with a smile.
“It will be different from what you see on the internet. What you saw on the Internet was…”
When I beckon, the team leader appears riding the No. 1 Demora.
“This is it.”
“Oh oh! That one, that one!”
“Is that what it used to be? I think it’s a completely different species?”
I said to the excited people.
“For reference, this was made by reflecting all the tastes of the Awakened person riding over there. In other words, you can also customize the look you want if you buy a necromancer.”
I said raising the corners of my lips.
“Everyone, how much effort does it take to raise an animal? I have to feed it, I have to wash it, I have to clean up the feces. But these guys are neither edible nor cheap. It doesn’t even have a lifespan.”
how is it?
Isn’t this rarity enough for this alone?
Honestly, if it’s not me, where can I go to drag monsters?
They say there are Tamer Awakenings, but that’s all they carry with them.
“Besides, this necromancer has endless uses at the gate. How hard has it been for you to walk? Now you can ride around comfortably on a ghost horse. Then there is no problem even if you encounter a monster. It automatically avoids monsters through the monster avoidance function and runs right away when the owner calls it.”
People, especially the Awoken, said with their eyes shining.
“Would it be perfectly convenient to ride that and enter the gate?”
“Is it just comfortable? First off, it’s cool Performance is also performance, but the design is also unbearable. To be honest, everything near the gate these days is a sports car. But ride it and show up.”
right.
That’s it.
Each of these spirits is the perfect mount for the Awakened, with both convenience and rarity.
“I am not going to explain any further. Feel it yourself. Let’s start with the demo first. The basic selling price is 150 million. I will call your number.”
Originally, I thought about doing an auction, but a price that is too high increases the rarity and enhances the brand value as a luxury product, while making it difficult to sell the entry-level model.
Just as the sales of companies selling low-end cars are overwhelmingly higher than those of famous sports car brands, you have to catch both high-end and low-end models to really make money.
From that point of view, it was clear that it would be much more money in the long run to make the minja into a 150-million entry-level model and take the value as a luxury item as a custom.
I randomly picked one of the numbers I had given in advance and shouted.
“Number 37!”
Then a young man jumped up from his seat and shouted.
“That’s me!”
“Basic price of 150 million, would you like to buy it?”
The man cried without hesitation.
“buy!”
Luckily, the guy with the money caught it right away.
Judging from his age and attire, he was probably an awakened.
This is the mood up.
“Then come right up! Custom!”
this is a show
A show to show people how cool you are.
Then the custom process should be flashy.
I said while showing the catalog that Baek Sang-ho and the team leader put all their efforts into.
“You choose here. Of course, apart from this, if you have a design you want, that is also possible.”
Of course, the price will be higher, though.
Then the Awoken spoke with an excited expression.
“I’ll just pick it up here, because I don’t know anything about design. Wow. But the price is a bit high.”
30 million won on both sides of the eye brilliance, and 10 million won per additional luster on the desired area.
Each bone helmet costs 3,000, and body armor varies depending on the design, but on average more than 150 million.
Even if you make a plausible decoration, it will become 500 million in an instant.
Of course, the cost is only in the tens of millions of won.
“Payment by credit card is possible.”
Then the Awoken laughed and said:
“It’s okay, I have that much extra money.”
You look like a fairly high-ranking Awakened?
Then I hear the voices of people muttering.
“uh? Isn’t that person the 1st team leader of the Hanul Guild?”
“I guess that’s right?”
Hanwool Guild?
Where have you heard… Ah.
The Hanul Guild is one of the top ten guilds in Korea.
If there is one team, it is the most elite team in the guild, and if there is even a team leader, it is an executive level.
Are you a giant?
I hope I came here with a stupid idea…
Then, looking at the catalog, an awakened person, the leader of the Hanul Guild, said with bright eyes.
“If there is something like this, I have always dreamed of riding it… The day is coming when this will really come true.”
it seems not
You can see the sincerity on his face.
“Can I preview the wear condition as well? Just looking at the catalog doesn’t make sense.”
I was prepared for that kind of service.
“Bring it!”
Then, the staff whines and brings the full body armor for example made in advance.
Shiny bone armor painted in silver.
“Oh oh! Worst?”
“You can’t try it on, because it’s used the moment you put it on.”
“okay? Then here with this silver helmet…”
After thinking about the catalog for 15 minutes, the team leader Hanul finally chose the silver-colored option designed by Baek Sang-ho.
“Also!”
Baek Sang-ho clenched his fists, and the unselected team leader bit his lower lip.
“Are you done choosing?”
“Wait. Did I mention that I can put the brilliance on this as I want?”
“of course.”
If you give me money, I can’t do anything.
“I want to have my initials SHS engraved on both sides.”
“Your initials?”
I never thought of this again.
But will it cost a lot?
I did a rough calculation and said.
“If you put roughly 10 spells per spell, there are 6 on each side, so 60. So this is only 6 billion?”
Then the head of the Hanul Guild was startled and said:
“600 million for brilliance options?”
No matter how well the Awakened earns money, this amount of money would be a bit of a concern.
If you add the already added armor and the default value to 600 million, it’s worth 1 billion won.
But what, I didn’t do it, did I?
“Ugh. I spent too much this month.”
After thinking for a while, the team leader Hanul said.
“Can I add more later? I’ll add it when I get paid next month.”
It seems that the High Awakened earns well.
You’re trying to process billions of dollars into next month’s settlement.
Anyway, the customer wants to spend the money, so I’m fine.
“However much.”
“Then only the first spelling, S, is on both sides.”
In the end, the team leader Hanul saw a compromise on both sides.
“ah! A small S on my forehead, please.”
“For reference, once it is completed, you will have to pay to remove it. No frills, no refunds, it’s custom.”
“All right.”
great.
“Then I will check one last time. Silver full body armor F-type, golden eye light, extra brilliance and all…”
So I read through the additional options one by one.
“All in all, the option is 550 million, and the basic price is 700 million. Do you agree?”
“I agree.”
“Order complete.”
The basic price is 150 million, but the additional cost of the option is 550 million.
The visitors were astonished, but that astonishment soon turned into admiration.
“start!”
As I raised my hand, the prepainted bones flew through the air and began to wrap around Demora’s whole body.
A new type of Demonic Spirit Demon that wears silver armor that is completed in such an instant and shines with golden eyes.
And the splendor that came out of that elegant figure made people’s mouths wide open.
“Wow! Did the minja become like that before!?”
“Is there a different taste than black?”
“It’s so cool.”
The team leader Hanul said, with an ecstatic expression, caressing the brilliance that emits a mysterious light in an S-shape.
“Wow, that’s even cooler than I expected.”
“Then I will register. Put your hand over your mouth.”
Team leader Hanul reached out to Demora’s mouth.
Then, the golden eyes of Demora, who stood motionless on the podium, flashed and rubbed the silver helmet-clad face with the hands of the head of the Hanul Guild.
“Now, finally, you can name the demora.”
The team leader Hanul said with an excited expression.
“You are… Eundol!”
Uh… Eundol?
Everything is fine, but I wake up at the end
What.
If the guests are good, that’s it.
I created a magic circle, recognized the voice and the title, and spoke.
“Okay, registration is complete. From now on, Eundol will be the owner of this person!”
“Wow!”
I said, enjoying the cheers of the visitors.
“Now, shall we now choose the owner of the next nemesis?”
