I Alone Going To The Tower

Chapter 18

I decided to join Jinbora tomorrow, and immediately started preparing for work.

First, I bought a few hundred pieces of thin cloth at a nearby wholesaler.

It’s a top-of-the-line outfit, but it’s a vest type that you can put your arms in and lightly drape over your outerwear. About a thousand won per sheet.

I piled up a bunch of these clothes in the lobby and started working.

A two-step magic created by combining two first-step magic.

In the case of spell magic, when ‘fairness’ increases, the length of the spell increases, and in the case of magic circles, if ‘fairness’ increases, the number of fields, i.e. circles, increases.

If you look at the high-ranking magic circle, you can see a lot of shapes with several small circles inside a large circle, and they are all magic circles with two or more steps.

Although 1 process +1 process = 2 processes, the construction difficulty is not a concept that simply doubles the difficulty.

Magic is like a complex ecosystem, so whenever a process is added, the difficulty of construction increases with the square rather than addition.

Fortunately, I was able to understand the two-step magic system purely in the boss battle with Baphomet, so the concept itself was easy to understand.

But it was also the mastery that was difficult.

No matter how much practice I practiced, the efficiency of the first-stage magic was not as effective as Manaerow, Gauntlet, and Shield.

‘In the end, the only answer is to practice cutting bones.’

I put my palms on the back of the piled up white vest and started drawing a magic circle.

The main is the rune of heat dissipation. And inside, I drew another small circle and drew the rune of continuity.

The formula was more difficult because two magic circles had to be applied, but somehow I wrote it down by referring to the ‘standard of magic’.

After so many trial and error.

[For the first time, two magic circles have been combined.][Magic power has increased by 2 levels.][Intellect has increased by 1 level.][Magic Circle of Radiation – Continuous]

Magic Circle Value: C

Process: 2nd process

Classification: Persistent

Special Effects: Heat Resistance

Understanding: 11

Holding Power: 180

Operating power: 7

Output: 5

So I stayed up all night and made the 200th magic circle vest.

In the second half, the skill level increased and the speed increased, and I was able to barely fill up to a third of the quota.

600 sheets in one night is unreasonable. I decided to take care of the rest on the spot, and I struggled with my eyes.

* * *

the next morning.

Arrived in Yeoju by intercity bus early in the morning.

It was near the quiet riverside where the ferry was located, and the parking lot was full of cars and people were busy from the entrance.

And above all.

“Bachelor! Don’t you need armor?”

“Let’s go look at the equipment! These are all made of monster skins!”

“Go see the dungeon essentials!”

There were a lot of street vendors buzzing around.

The smell of spicy chicken skewers stung his nostrils.

From street food to various equipment, there was nothing missing.

‘It’s not like a dungeon, but it seems to be from the market floor.’

The scene of stalls lined up around an open dungeon has now become very common in Korea. I quickly crossed the street, trying not to make eye contact with the burdensome street vendors.

‘We were supposed to meet near the public restroom.’

I asked Jinbo-ra where he was by messenger. With the answer that everything is coming, an emoticon with an animal character running hard returned.

I decided to sit down on a nearby rock and wait.

Boo woo woo!

A luxurious black BMW entered the parking lot through a narrow road.

The car door swung open and a young driver came out.

I think I’m still young, but it’s a foreign car… … . I was watching with interest, and a familiar face appeared from the passenger seat he opened.

‘Why is he out there?’

It was none other than Progressive.

She smiled, thanked her, and went with the man to the trunk.

And I started to take all these things out of the way.

“Thanks for the ride! Oppa.”

“No, no. It was the way I was going too. Take care of yourself on this dungeon business trip.”

“Driving safely, brother too!”

Boo woo woo!

BMW went back the way it came. Jin-Bora saw the car leaving and waved her hand for a while, then turned around with a cold expression on her face, and she said, ‘You’re very condescending to have a used shit car.’ ‘ she muttered.

“I’m here?”

“Hey!”

She looked back in surprise.

“No, you were surprised! Senior!”

“Did you get a car with another guy and get a ride?”

“You’re flirting!”

She blushed and squeaked. I sighed a little.

“It’s not something I’m going to talk about, but… you might get a big nose injury someday?”

“Fufu! Don’t worry. I will keep all the lines I will keep.”

So that’s the fishing ground, girl.

“Anyway, I prepared everything just like I said yesterday!”

My gaze turned to her pile of supplies. Banners, placards, mobile tents, balloons, and even dancing wind dolls.

“…where are you going to the event?”

“It’s cute, isn’t it? It’s good to prepare thoroughly.”

She held the inflatable doll next to her face and smiled bashfully.

“It’s all good, but how do you put the wind in it?”

“Senior will blow you.”

“……”

“Come on, come on. Let’s go in!”

We packed our bags and headed for the dungeon.

Control lines were strewn all over the place, and armed hunters, police, and association staff were in control of the players. A female employee dressed in an association uniform waved her arms and shouted.

“I’ll help you enter in 5 minutes!”

… … Where did the amusement park come from?

There was a lot of difference from the feeling of the tense dungeon I had imagined.

Well, field dungeons where monsters of that rank appear in the original should be like this.

I have to go to the upper dungeon later, so the situations I dream of will be produced.

There are a lot of reporters, and military helicopters are floating in the sky making noises, and the guild members who will enter the dungeon raise their hands with a determined expression and exchange lines of ‘Let’s survive this time too!’ Scenes like that.

At my current growth rate, I don’t think going to such a dungeon will be in the distant future.

“I’ll come in!”

Jinbo and I stood in line and waited.

A huge crack in the air, the entrance to the dungeon with its jaws wide open like a black hole.

Even the people who joked with each other without tension began to harden their expressions. After waiting for a while, it was our turn.

“Show me your entry permit.”

At the words of the association staff, we took out our academy student IDs.

Players who are not yet pro hunters must have a ‘provisional license’ that allows them to hunt monsters. We were able to replace that provisional license with our student ID.

“You’re academy students. Confirmed.”

After a few simple extra steps, we were able to follow the people in front of us into the black portal of the dungeon.

woo woo woo!

Upon entering the portal, the surrounding environment was completely changed. A scorching heat crept into his mouth.

The ground was a black rock with holes in it. The river flowing here and there was yellow, and the smell of frankincense, similar to rotten eggs, stung my nostrils.

‘This is a lava cave.’

I was suddenly itchy, but unfortunately I didn’t come today for hunting.

When you reach the target amount, you can go hunting for the rest of the time, okay.

“Then shall we begin?”

“okay.”

First, the mobile tent was unfolded and firmly fixed to the floor, and then a banner was hung on top.

I don’t know where else it came from, but ‘Heat resistance equipment 30% OFF!’ it was written

“…30% discount?”

“Hehe, it’s not really a discount, but if you put a number like that, you’ll catch your eye!

‘We are selling heat resistance equipment!’ If you do, you will be very sad.”

From what I’ve heard, it sounds like you’re right.

Next, we installed the banners we had prepared around the tent, and piled up the heat-resisting clothes I worked on on the table.

“Let’s not do wind puppets as a human being.”

“Why! This is the highlight!”

“The atmosphere is too distracting.”

“Still, it definitely caught my eye!”

“Even if you don’t use these things, it attracts attention enough. We are the only people selling things in the dungeon.”

Even so, some people who entered the dungeon were showing interest in us. We got the job done in a hurry.

“Senior! I’ll just change the position of the back banner for a moment.”

“okay.”

Jinbora disappeared and I was left alone in the tent. People entering the dungeon murmured and passed by looking at this once.

Wow, this should be in business… … .

A bit disappointing than expected

Basically, I had no experience in doing business or sales like this.

How should I speak in front of people? Do you sell equipment? Do you buy equipment? No, it’s not a market place, are you going to see the equipment? What did the street vendors say earlier?

“What are you selling?”

At that time, some people showed interest and approached me first. I said with a smile as calm as possible.

“We are selling equipment that blocks the heat of the lava den.”

“What kind of cold pack is it?”

“It’s not like that, it’s an item.”

These days, the word ‘item’ is used in line with the saying ‘not from Earth, but from another world’. A party member of the person who asked the question appeared from behind and said.

“There’s no way it’s worth 50,000 won just like a cold pack. It’s probably an item.”

“What is the specific effect?”

At first, it seemed to have succeeded in attracting people’s attention.

“This effect completely blocks the heat of the lava den for two hours.”

woozy woozy.

People who heard my story started talking about the item.

Naturally, the response is good. The most difficult thing about this lava cave is the heat.

Looking at the reviews, it was said that even if you hunt monsters for 10 minutes, your body sweats profusely, and after about 30 minutes from there, it starts having a direct negative effect on your physical strength and condition, so you have to stop hunting.

If you hunt for an hour because it’s too much, you’ll fall down pick-pick.

Still, he said that the hunting efficiency of the lava burrows was good. There is only one thing, the heat in the field is a problem, and if that can be prevented, it will not be a waste to pay about 50,000 won in consideration of the full ticket price and profit from the Magic Stone.

It’s an overwhelming advantage because I’m also selling a piece of cloth worth 1,000 won for 50,000 won.

“By the way.”

A man with wide eyes approached and said.

“Is this the right thing?”

“……Yeah?”

“An item that blocks heat for two hours? I’ve never heard of it.”

The person next to him looked up at the clothes on the table with a puzzled expression.

“It’s a little strange. Does this really block the heat? It just looks like a white tee.”

“Are there any guarantees that it will last for exactly two hours? What monster was it created as a by-product?”

Distrust began to mix with people’s gaze.

Hmmm, it’s difficult.

The quality was confident, but people were questioning its reliability.

Because of this problem, I purposely planned to enter the dungeon and sell things, but it seemed that this was not enough.

My head was spinning quickly. There is a way to put a refund condition, and there is a way to spread rumors by giving it to some people for free. how will we do it.

“Senior! What’s going on?”

At that time, Jinbora, who saw the commotion, ran and returned. When I explained the situation, she smiled faintly.

“Of course there is a guarantee.”

“…what is it?”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“We’re from the Hunter Academy Student Council.”

As she proudly presented her academy student ID, the man with her squint frowned. People murmured and looked at Jinbora.

“Are you referring to the academy that the president of the association established himself?”

“I applied there and then failed.”

“Besides, they’re the students of the student council.”

Jin-Bra smiled softly and laid out her explanations like a clearing stream.

“Actually, the prototype developed by the Academy Research Group is about to be released! All internal tests have been completed, and now our student council has decided to go to the dungeon and market it to see consumer reactions.”

Jin-Bora is a member of the student council and sells the name of the school… … .

Still, the effect was clear. I felt people’s credibility skyrocket when I heard the word Korea Hunter Academy.

“Well, if they were scammers, they wouldn’t have entered the dungeon directly and sold it.”

“Are you sure it’s effective?”

“Of course! It’s an academy-guaranteed product!”

As Jinbora said so, she squinted her eyes towards me.

“A discount price of only 50,000 won! Start a pleasant hunting in the hot dungeon! There is no research margin left for this!”

Some people responded immediately.

“Four sheets, please.”

I handed the clothes and received 20 stiff ten thousand won bills.

I was feeling a little stunned. You’re making real money with this.

“Only 200 copies are on sale! Yes! Thank you!”

We started business in earnest. Jin-Bora stepped forward and ran the business, and I took charge of the account.

Jinbora’s sales skills were outstanding.

Once she stepped out in front, her very existence attracted people’s attention.

A sweet voice, an effortless gaze handling, and a lively yet trustworthy atmosphere.

She was attracting her guests with all the skills she used on men.

And the market reaction to the product was half and half.

People who believe in the name of the Academy and buy it.

People who are hesitant to purchase, saying that it remains to be seen whether that will really work.

But people’s worries didn’t last long.

“Is this right? I heard you sell heat resistance equipment at the entrance of the dungeon!”

“Students! How many left in stock?”

Rumors were fast.

As rumors of people hunting comfortably in the heat resistance equipment I made spread, even those who were hunting in the field flocked in droves.

100 copies were sold out in an instant.

5 million won in profit was put in my pocket without any extra cost.

“We’re here again!”

“How did the students make this?”

“I’ll come tomorrow, so let’s buy plenty.”

And those who have used the heat resistance equipment once were very satisfied and wanted to secure the rest.

Oh my God, a two-hour instance magic circle with a small amount of my mana is sold for 50,000 won on a piece of cloth I bought with a dropper. Is this the creative economy?

“Senior! This is not the time!”

“Huh?”

“I’ll do the math too. Make more supplies here! Come on!”

Magic business is so good.
