I’m the only magic tower owner Chapter 17

I’m the only magic tower owner episode 017

“Lord Tower.”

“huh?”

For some reason, Jeong Seo-jin came up to the 9th floor where I was staying.

The guy looked around at the mess of clothes he had casually taken off and empty cup ramen containers, but he returned his gaze without paying much attention.

“I need money.”

… … So suddenly?

“A minor problem arose during the construction of the distribution route, necessitating additional costs beyond the budget.”

Jeong Seo-jin was indeed working day and night, as if to prove his words that he had put his life and death into this magic tower project.

He set up a business budget with his own money, and with that limited budget, he built a distribution system for the magic tower and purchased potion materials.

In addition, he was accomplishing tasks that should have been done by dozens of people, including business registration, accounting, and linking with tax accountants and lawyers.

But since no one had ever directly asked me for help before, I couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.

“……How much do you need?”

“I will post a report soon with more details, but it is not a major problem. This is urgent money needed to make up for the loss caused by changing the distributor and for follow-up processing.”

“Really? That’s good. So how much is it?”

“It’s 3,000.”

… … For a moment, my brain was overloaded.

“I’m asking just in case, but it’s probably not 3,000 won, is it?”

“Ha. Ha. Ha. As expected, Top Owner. You’re good at telling jokes.”

That kind of behavior doesn’t feel good at all.

“If I needed a lot of money, I would have tried other means, but the amount is just enough to cover a hole. Please give me until the day after tomorrow.”

This crazy guy.

It’s not like you can find 30 million won if you dig some ground. I don’t know how you can suddenly raise such a large amount of money.

Jeong Seo-jin never intended to tease me or test me. This guy, a tycoon among tycoons, was talking really purely and in a trivial way.

okay. Well, 30 million is probably gum to a chaebol. It won’t even cover the cost of a week’s meals.

So, he’s probably coming up to me and talking to me like he’s asking for pocket money.

But 30 million won is the starting salary at most companies!

While I was racking my brain, I waved my arms as if it was no big deal and said, As naturally as possible… … .

“Hey. But if it’s that amount, can’t I just get a business loan?”

“After the overlay incident, the loan process has become more complicated. I may have to reveal the true nature of Magic Tower and its business. Do you mind?”

… … There’s no way it’s going to be okay. Should I just say I can’t do it?

no. What would that guy who ran a company with annual sales of 100 billion won think of a leader who only earned 30 million won?

This is a matter of the leader’s pride.

“Okay. 3,000 in three days, right?”

“Yes, thank you.”

As soon as Jeong Seo-jin turned his back and walked away, I was pulling out my hair in regret.

I said it confidently. Really what?

“Ah, tower owner.”

Jeong Seo-jin, who was about to get on the magic circle elevator, turned his back. I quickly relaxed my frustrated posture and answered solemnly.

“Is there still business left?”

“Now that I think about it… no matter how little money it may be, it may feel a bit daunting to suddenly save it.”

Oh, thank goodness. You understood my feelings!

“Let me help you with one thing: the knowledge and magic of this magic tower are things that did not exist in modern society. If you make good use of that, I think you can easily make a lump sum of about 3,000.”

“Seojin…”

You have a knack for saying such obvious things in a believable way. Seojin.

How is this different from saying that you can easily make money by building a flying car?

“Then I will be waiting for you. Tower owner.”

Just like that, Jeong Seo-jin broke my spirit and returned to the second floor.

‘Ha, it will work out somehow. ‘Let’s think about it.’

but.

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t come up with a realistic solution.

If we had been given a few weeks and asked to come up with a long-term project to secure stable funding, it wouldn’t have been so daunting.

But suddenly, the mission is to earn 3,000 within 3 days including today.

For someone who values ​​planning and strategy, unexpected situations like this are difficult.

“Aya. Are you there?”

A cluster of lights gathered in the air, and a beautiful silver-haired woman appeared.

“Yes, top owner.”

“They say I should earn 30 million won, so maybe that would be good?”

“Searching.”

She closed her eyes and then said.

“Search completed. Total of 7, 599, 872 opinions. Among them, this is the opinion of ‘Infinite Positive’, whose nickname seems to have the highest credibility.”

“……What?”

Suddenly her voice changed.

“Everyone! Let’s unravel the story of a trustworthy force! BQ Group is recruiting coin investors. Once you sign up, you will be paid 100 coins, and if a member becomes a recommender, you will be paid an additional 100 coins….”

“I will not!”

I fell down on the desk again. It was my fault for expecting even a little bit.

“Doubtful. BQ Group coin is really likely to rise…”

“stop.”

“Yes, top owner.”

I turned on my smartphone and scribbled down.

“Ha, what should I do? I can’t just sell magic…”

The moment I said those words, a switch turned on in my head.

“Yes! We sell magic!”

“……?”

I quickly opened the schedule on my smartphone.

“Ah. Go to the Hunter Association’s official website and display all the dungeon information I’m talking about.”

“All right.”

“Stalker’s Mine, Forgotten Castle Ruins, Temple of Chill, Lava Cave.”

These were the dungeons available for business trips that were selected by the club leaders. She closed her eyes for a moment and searched, then a screen similar to her status window appeared in the air.

Among them, there was a dungeon that caught my eye.

Name: Lava cave.

Category: Field Dungeon.

Features: Fire attribute monster/lava field.

Difficulty: Rank 2 monsters appear.

Deadline: Day 3 Dungeon. Boss monster is scheduled to appear at 17:00 on the 3rd day.

Location: Geumsa-myeon, Yeoju-si, Gyeonggi-do.

I quickly went to the player information sharing site and community to see the reaction to the lava tunnel.

-Honest review of the lava cave. Worst dungeon.

-This is the advance team for day 1. I just spent the 3-day admission fee for no reason.

-Serious opening problem. To the point where normal hunting is impossible.

-There will be a lot of people for the boss battle on the 3rd day, so I’ll die from the heat before I catch the boss.

This is it!

I plan to go to that lava cave and sell a spell that blocks the heat.

By applying the 2nd process magic that I have recently learned, I will be able to create 2nd process magic by combining the rune of heat dissipation and the rune of maintenance.

Among them, the maintenance rune has the effect of holding mana in place and maintaining it for up to two hours.

In theory, combining these two runes can create a magic circle that grants fire resistance for two hours.

And what if you attach this magic circle to an item and sell it?

If you can block the heat of the lava cave, the hunting speed will change dramatically. If the price is estimated at around 50,000 per ticket considering the players’ income from magic stones, people who have purchased a 3-day dungeon pass will buy it to cover the entrance fee.

And 200 pieces cost 10 million won. If only 600 copies are made and sold… … .

Ugh, I’m throwing up.

I felt like giving up before I even started.

I regained my fading spirit. I had to increase my magic proficiency anyway. The Rune of Heat Dissipation and the Rune of Maintenance will continue to be used in the future.

“Aya. Tell Bora to come up to the 9th floor.”

“Yes, top owner.”

After a while Ea disappeared.

“You called me, my senior!”

Jin Jin-ra appeared as always, greeting in a sweet voice.

“Wow…”

Then, looking at the mess around him with all kinds of trash and clothes, he gracefully covered his mouth.

“I’m sorry for being such a jerk. Can you please wake up?”

“Why this?”

She shrugged.

“Isn’t this what men’s rooms usually feel like? I actually have a romantic interest in things like this. It’s cool because he seems like a man who is focused on one thing, and when I see him, I want to go and clean it up.”

When she spoke like that, I didn’t feel the usual pretense.

… … Are you really serious?

“Senior, now you just need to meet a woman who is a good housekeeper, right? Hehe.”

yes. First of all, I don’t think you are. I quickly changed the topic.

“Bora. Please change my dungeon schedule.”

“yes?”

“Among the dungeon travel rights I won with the club leaders, there is a place called ‘Lava Cave’. Can you send me there?”

“It’s not difficult.”

She borrowed my laptop and logged in with her student council ID.

“Oh my, senior. This is just a field dungeon? There is also an instance dungeon in the business trip ticket you got, so why go to the lava cave…”

“Actually, it’s not about conquering the dungeon, it’s about making some money there.”

“Money?”

I explained everything to her.

“30 million won in 3 days… It won’t be easy.”

“Anyway, is it possible to change it to lava tunnel dispatch?”

“It’s possible. You’re more senior than me.”

“why?”

“Shall I come with you and help you? It must be difficult to sell 300 tickets by yourself.”

Help me? If you do, thank you.

“But are you also dispatched to the lava tunnel tomorrow?”

“No. Let’s just exchange it with someone else, okay?”

“……Isn’t that too easy to say?”

Dungeon trips won’t be changed that easily.

Jin Jin-ra looked through the list of students scheduled to be dispatched to the lava tunnel tomorrow and smiled faintly. Then she opened her smart phone and scrolled through her address book.

“……Wow, are those all men’s names?”

She shushed and put a finger on her lips. Soon, the phone said, ‘Hello?’ When she heard that voice, her voice changed 180 degrees.

“Hello? Oh, hello. Oppa! It’s Jin Jin-ra. Yes, yes. I’m doing well. Oh-ho-ho! Thank you so much for giving me a ride last time.”

She must have been so engrossed that she blushed shyly while talking on the phone and was acting like a girl in love.

“I heard that you are going on a business trip to the lava cave tomorrow. Yes, yes. Actually, I want to go there for some reason. Can you exchange it for the Tracker’s Mine?”

Wow, looking at it from the side gives me goosebumps.

“Oh, really? Yes! Thank you! I will definitely thank you later. Yes, please come in! Good luck today!”

She pressed the end call button and said with a cold expression on her face.

“Okay?”

“……I guess I did it a bit too much.”

“Hehe, if a girl is too gentle, she’s not attractive, right? She has to have a clever side to be cute.”

I think we’ve come too far to rationalize it like that.

“Anyway, the lava tunnel is confirmed tomorrow! Senior, please focus on the magic circle. I will do all the other preparations.”

“Other than that, what else do you have to prepare?”

“How are you going to make a magic circle and sell it to people?”

Ah, that’s a problem I’ve never thought about.

“If we just lay down a mat and sell it…”

She smiled as if she knew this would happen.

“Look at that! Look at that! I’ll prepare it myself!”

“Then I’ll trust you and leave it to you. The dungeon is held in Yeoju, so don’t be late.”

“Is this a local business trip? Still, I’m glad it’s close to Yeoju. See you tomorrow!”

chuck! She assumed her saluting stance and disappeared into the elevator with her slow pace. I put on my outerwear and searched the map on my smartphone.

‘Let’s see, where is the wholesale store closest to here…’ … ‘

My first trip to the dungeon after receiving the power of the Magic Tower Lord.

I’m looking forward to it in many ways.
