Episode 18
She kept looking at me hesitantly.
“What are you doing?”
“…Ah, that’s… “
“Yes. Please speak.”
“It is impossible to custom-made elixirs that increase demonic energy.”
“Yes?”
“If you make it and get caught wrong, you will have to rot in prison for the rest of your life. So I can’t make that much! Sorry. “
“…?”
“However, if you request something else, I will do my best to produce it. So, please, if you ask for something else, I would appreciate it!”
She probably had a big misunderstanding.
I know you as someone who asked me to manufacture an illegal elixir.
Well, it’s not unreasonable to think so.
Not a single bottle of her elixir was sold. In other words, no one knows the effect of her elixir.
By the way, a production request is made by giving an unverified magician a large sum of 30 million won?
It was natural to think that this was obviously an illegal request.
“No. It is not illegal.”
“I…Really?”
She looked at me with her bunny eyes open.
“Really. I don’t think it’s too late to judge by looking at the elixir recipe I show you. Do I look so unreliable?”
I said scratching my cheek.
“Ah! Excuse me. Sorry.”
She bowed her head.
I know of her elixir that only she can make.
It was the ‘power elixir’.
When I was playing games, I tried to ask other magicians who were reputed to be excellent, but they all failed.
Only she could make this elixir.
If you just drink that elixir, all your stats will be temporarily inflated.
If I take the elixir now, the increase in stats I can get is about 6.
Currently, all of my physical stats are set to 1.
In other words, when you drink this potion, the original physical stat 1 + the increase due to the potion 6 increases, so the stat becomes 7.
In addition, unlike the original body stats, the stats raised by the elixir gradually improve over time.
6->5->4->3->2->1->0 Like this.
When it becomes 0, only my original stat, 1, remains.
Considering that all stat increases were around 2 or 3 even after drinking the elixir made by the elixir masters in District 5, it was a huge increase.
That elixir is supposed to be found in the labyrinth dungeon three years from now.
Since then, numerous elixirists have tried to create it, but all of them fail and only she succeeds.
Since then, there has been a huge queue to the point where you have to wait at least a year to order her elixir from her.
“The potion recipe is simple. Seek the heart of a goblin, the tears of an elf at the root of the world tree… “
I told you the ingredients needed for the potion I knew in the game.
“Then I cut the roots of the World Tree and added a drop of Elven Tears to it…”
At first, she was dubious about me telling her the recipe as an ordinary person who didn’t know anything about elixirs.
But gradually, her expression began to harden.
“…Uh…How do you know this recipe?”
She made a shocked expression.
“Yes?”
“This is a truly innovative method of making potions that has not yet been reported to the Society… Just as Galileo proposed the heliocentric theory, to the point of changing the paradigm of the world of elixir..”
“Yes? Is this really that great?”
I shuddered.
“Of course. According to this recipe, if you drink this elixir, a person’s physical abilities will be greatly maximized. It’s really a revolution. If this is a revolution… ”
She started chattering about the new discovery to me as if it were very interesting.
I really didn’t understand what that meant.
“You know what? This is so great. What a revolution! Revolution”
She seemed so happy that she forgot her own difficult situation.
“Yes.. That’s really great.”
I gave it a good fight.
At the end of her chatter.
She spoke first.
“But… The problem with this elixir is that it can only be produced in small quantities, so 10 per month is the limit at most.”
That’s right.
The problem with that elixir is that it can only be crafted in very small quantities.
“Yes. You’re right. How long do I have to wait to receive one elixir?”
“I think I will have to do a lot of research first, so I think 5 days will be enough!”
“Ah. Also, please announce to the academic society that you researched and manufactured this elixir yourself.”
“..Yes!? Yes?”
She stuttered her words.
That’s right, I called for the recipe, but you’re willing to present it at a conference?
Enough to be embarrassed.
However, this has to be announced by her.
If she presents that elixir at a conference, she will gain great honor in a moment.
If you do that, your orders will be pushed back tremendously, and at the same time, you will be sitting on a huge cushion of money.
“I can’t make elixirs anyway. If anything, it would be better if the magician used it with great value.”
“…However, that’s…”
Of course, I’m not giving it away for free.
I will condition her to make the elixir I commissioned as her top priority, no matter how many customers there are.
Tee-Ring-
[‘Cha Ji-yoon’ – Is the story over now?]
[ Reply – ok. It’s done.]
My daughter-
Shortly after the text message ended, she entered her cafe.
“Here it is.”
I waved her hand in that direction.
Cha Ji-yoon sat in front of me and sipped coffee.
That moment.
Bang-
A loud commotion rang out from the door of the cafe.
****
Cha Ji-yoon and Nam Do-yoon turned to them.
It was the guy who broke the elixir magician’s elixir a while ago.
The guy looked at Cha Ji-yoon and smiled.
“Dad. That b*tch him.”
With his father beside him, he vigorously walked towards Cha Ji-yoon.
Soon the father and son stood in front of Cha Ji-yoon.
“Did you dare to swear at my son?”
“Dad said he was vulgar to me.”
“Did you swear at my son? Do you know who we are?”
A shriveled up person said to Cha Ji-yoon
“….Not interested.”
“At a glance, it looks like he is a scion from a lousy corporate family, just by looking at him going in and out of the 1st floor. Know the subject.”
My son took out the membership card he had in his arms.
There was a stamp on it saying that access to District 3 was allowed.
“A company that has enough memberships to walk around in District 1 is, of course, insignificant. Do you know who we are Do you know the ‘gihan’ semiconductor that is famous for semiconductors these days? That’s my dad’s company.”
At that, my father shrugged.
She smiled.
“…..”
The ‘Samhwa’ group is competing for first place in the domestic semiconductor market.
If it was really famous, it would have sounded like a company worth paying attention to.
However, she had never even heard of the name of ‘deadline’ semiconductor.
“Are you laughing now? What is the name of the company your father runs, and we will completely destroy it.”
My son put on a look of great spirit.
“…Would you be able to handle it later even if I said this?”
“Yes. Those guys who got a pass for District 1 like this must be a crappy small business. See you soon Where are you?”
She said in a very cold voice.
“…If I tell you, can you afford it?”
“Puhahahahaha- Look at Daddy. He’s a really funny kid.”
“……”
“My lady. You seem to have no sense of how serious the situation is, but if I make up my mind, I can destroy a young lady’s business. Understand?”
The son looked at his father and shrugged his shoulders.
“If you formally apologize, I will look after you. Get down on your knees.”
Cha Ji-yoon sighed.
It was tiring to mix words with these flies.
Cha Ji-yoon took out the pass without a word.
When the son and father saw the pass, their faces began to harden.
“…What… What? Is it possible to access up to the 5th floor? Is this fake?”
My son started to walk backwards.
And he looked at the company name written on the pass.
“…What!? What? The ‘Samhwa’ group?”
Not only the son’s expression, but also the father’s expression began to harden in an instant.
The person who was wandering around the 1st floor was the daughter of ‘Samhwa’ company?
This was nothing short of a disaster.
“Your son behaved rudely in front of the magician, so I just admonished him. Shall we really go all the way?”
My father put on a devastated expression.
There is no way you can ever win.
No matter how much Qihan Semiconductor has recently reaped a great reputation, it was only a grain of sand compared to the ‘Samhwa’ group, which is in the top 10 in the world.
It is clear that they will be thoroughly stepped on.
“If you come here to mess with this occultist one more time, I won’t stand by. This occultist is a member of our group.”
“I am so sorry!”
Leaving those words behind, the son and father hurriedly ran away.
The magician bowed his head to Cha Ji-yoon.
“Thank you very much. Thanks to you, I was able to get through safely.”
“…No. It was just unpleasant for me to see.”
“But, at the end, you called me a member of the ‘Samhwa’ group. Why so far?”
“…If that’s the case.”
Cha Ji-yoon looked at Nam Do-yoon.
Originally, he hadn’t intended to go that far.
However, to Nam Doyoon, this elixirist seemed to be a very important person.
Maybe that’s why he said that without even realizing it.
“…I got some help from him.”
Cha Ji-yoon pointed at Nam Do-yoon and said.
“Ah..”
The magician looked at Nam Do-yoon.
“…So I think it would be appropriate to say thank you to that person over there.”
The magician approached Nam Do-yoon.
Cha Ji Yoon looked at Nam Do Yoon with his eyes narrowed.
I really don’t understand.
Why did you choose the magician in District 1 over the magician in District 5?
Um…? No matter how much I think about it, I don’t know.
As expected, he is a very peculiar person.
