Another Organization (1)

Ssssk!

A large amount of dark magic is drawn into the magic circle.

An eerie energy began to rise from the floor, with black mist spreading low and chilling voices echoing from all directions.

This was the resonance from the magic stones, a sound produced from absorbing the catacomb’s demons for a long time. It was the accumulated dark energy finding a focal point.

As expected, if an ordinary person were here, they would have gone mad with fear, such was the gloomy energy.

However, after becoming a dark wizard, I grew accustomed to such energies and felt more at ease achieving higher circles. Rather than basking in the sunlight, I feel a sense of peace in this darkness.

Before long, something crawled up from the floor.

It didn’t seem to be breaking through the floor, but rather something created by magic was manifesting.

The dummies were all designed as female.

In businesses that involve customer service, sales tend to increase when women with outstanding appearances are employed. It’s a simple psychological effect that attracts customers.

In addition, many Koreans have a fantasy about Western beauties. I, who live with Lisa, also had such fantasies in the past.

However, what sets me apart is that I systematically studied English and worked hard to actually get married.

Sales will definitely increase after deploying these beauties.

In fact, in retail, sales increased by about 15% from “bait products” [loss leaders], and an additional 10-15% increase in sales was achieved by deploying attractive part-time workers.

Experts reported that the effect could be as high as 20%, and I agreed with that.

Hundreds of dummies rise in an instant.

A flash of admiration crosses Kalburn’s eyes.

“As expected.”

“More efficient than I thought?”

“It seems so. I think we can produce about a thousand a day without any problems.”

It was truly an enormous number.

However, it was not enough to supply androids to the entire world.

A thousand a day meant 30,000 a month, and if Soo Science released androids, I predicted that demand would explode in the future.

About 360,000 units could be produced annually, and it would take more than 10 years to supply them evenly around the world.

Of course, there is a simple way to meet that demand.

“If I reach the 7th Circle.”

“Master, that is not the realm of humans.”

“Still, historically, a few have reached that level.”

“That is true, but…”

“If I reach the 7th Circle, how many can I produce in a day?”

“More than ten thousand.”

“That’s about enough to meet the demand around the world.”

“Does that mean that there will be hundreds of millions of undead following your orders?”

“Yes.”

“If that happens, it will be possible to rule the world.”

“I don’t particularly intend to do that, though.”

No matter how I think about it, dark magic is a great field of study.

Now it was a modern society, and the idea of ruling the world was absurd, but in ancient times, it would have been really possible to rule the world.

Sweeping away enemy countries with sheer numbers.

If I prepared for a year and led an army of millions of undead, who could stop it? It would be impossible.

“I was born in the wrong era.”

“Hahaha. Well, that depends on what you decide, Master. Even now, if you put all the dark wizards around the world under your command, you can secretly rule them.”

I shrugged my shoulders.

“There’s no need to do that.”

“Of course, there is no need to do that in modern society.”

The dummies rose on their own and moved to the warehouse according to my will.

Dummies begin to pile up in the warehouse.

Now that the magic circle has been activated, it will periodically pour out dummies.

My role was over if I visited every few days to check and inject magic power.

“Now that I’ve checked, let’s go back.”

“Let’s do that.”

In front of the company.

Some reporters were still waiting without going back.

They are truly persistent people.

Well, this sophisticated android technology was arguably the first in the world, and it was natural that many people were interested.

Then, it was necessary to give people an interim report here once.

As I walked out in front of the company, reporters rushed in.

“Chairman! When will the androids be released!?”

“Is it true that the technology is incomplete!?”

“The technology is already complete.”

“Then, the release date is…”

“It will take some time before it can be commercialized to the general public. We need to accumulate inventory before we can commercialize it, but the facilities are not yet ready for that.”

“Then, how long will it take to commercialize it to the general public?”

“Undecided.”

“Chairman!”

I cut them off like that.

It was difficult to give an exact schedule right now.

“Then, goodbye.”

I get in the company car.

It didn’t take long to get home from here.

By now, my family must be eagerly waiting for me to come. I can’t pay any more attention to company matters.

“Hello?”

“No, you are…”

An unexpected person was waiting for me in the car.

It was CIA Deputy Director Katherine, whom I had known since the Syrian civil war.

“Deputy Director?”

“Oh my! What should I do? I got promoted.”

“So, you became the director?”

“Thanks to you.”

Director Katherine smiles, revealing her teeth.

The fact that the CIA director came here meant that she had heard something.

No matter how hard I tried to hide the information, there was a possibility that the secret had leaked to the CIA, which professionally handles secrets.

Besides, the United States would be experimenting with androids for a while, so they would be curious about them.

“Can we talk for a moment while we go?”

“My house is right around the corner.”

“Please give me 10 minutes.”

“10 minutes is fine.”

My family was waiting for me at home, but I couldn’t ignore Katherine, who had become the CIA director.

First, I started the car to go home.

“Congratulations. You have achieved your dream.”

“Dream? It’s just the beginning.”

“Are you trying to go higher?”

“If I’ve come this far, I should consider politics.”

“Politics…”

In a way, politics was the final tech tree [the ultimate goal].

Katherine was also looking to go higher.

Looking at it now, the position of CIA director was just a stepping stone for her.

To do politics, she had to show more achievements than now. That must be why she came all the way here.

“To do that, I need androids.”

“Why?”

“The United States has many enemies.”

It is a well-known fact that the United States, the world’s strongest country, has many enemies. There were many allies, but there were also many enemies.

In particular, the relationship with Russia was like that, and it competed with several Western countries, and proxy wars occurred frequently.

The recent Syrian civil war was also a proxy war between the United States and Russia. The Second World War was also like that.

The strategy of using the dummies I produce as war weapons would be the best option for the United States.

“The reason you came here is to directly ask for a favor?”

“That’s right.”

“That means you failed to decipher the androids.”

“You’re more insightful than I thought?”

“Isn’t this information that you can deduce with a little thought? It’s also something the CIA does often.”

“Hoo. We tried to decipher the androids at the national level. Authoritative scientists were assigned to decipher them, but the results were disastrous. Do you know why?”

“I wonder?”

“Because the androids that the chairman made are not of this world’s technology.”

“…”

It was an amazing deduction.

But she wouldn’t really think so. It would only be a metaphorical expression.

“That’s absurd.”

“Right? It’s just something scientists are saying, and it seems like you made it by researching some unknown super-material, is that right?”

I shrugged my shoulders.

Everything related to dark magic was confidential.

If the word dark magic leaked out, I might be declared a public enemy. So, I had no choice but to be careful.

Apartment parking lot.

I haven’t finished talking to Katherine yet.

“President. Can you sell me the androids? I know that production has started at the factory.”

“Production has just started.”

“Anyway.”

“I haven’t even set the price yet.”

“Would about 5 million dollars per unit be enough?”

“5 million!”

That’s more than 5 billion won [approximately $3.75 million USD].

In the United States, they highly valued the androids to that extent.

Of course, there would have been considerable arguments before that price came out. And I thought that the amount came out because a human life was worth about that much.

“Is it the value of a human life?”

“How can you buy a human life with money? However, we can invest that much money to reduce human casualties.”

5 billion won was not a small amount of money.

If I were to make them soldiers, there was nothing I couldn’t do, and the dummies I made now had more than five times the strength of an adult male.

They don’t die even if they are shot. Unless they are hit directly in the head, they regenerate. If they wear bulletproof helmets that cannot be penetrated even if they are shot in the head and are put into missions, they will not die easily. Because they were strong, they could be surrounded by thick armor.

The reason why humans cannot wear such equipment was because it was heavy.

“Certainly, the androids I made are suitable as war weapons. Above all, they can learn, and if you train them for only a week, they can be put into the field right away.”

“Also, I think they will be very efficient as rescue workers. Because they don’t get hurt. Above all, that monstrous regenerative power… To be honest, I’m even thinking about 10 million dollars.”

“How many units are you going to buy?”

“As much as we can afford.”

I had been thinking for a long time that the android business would be profitable.

Once it started to be made, a huge amount of money would come in.

If the United States buys a large number of androids, will Russia stand still? Various countries around the world, Middle Eastern countries, and Asian countries will also move.

It was obvious that the whole world would be in an uproar to somehow secure androids.

“Can you afford to buy 10,000 units at once?”

“If you give it to me, I’ll take even more troops than that!”

“Troops.”

Katherine was already thinking about its use.

The purpose of using them as war weapons was certain. Of course, not all of them would be used that way, but they would also be used in industry.

The problem was that selling that many dummies was not the end, but the batteries had to be replaced periodically.

The price of the battery was also quite high.

The maintenance cost would be considerable.

‘That’s why commercialization is far away.’

I was holding back from shouting.

First, I sell them to each government at a high price. Then, I sell them to large corporations and spread them to all the places where they can make money, and then I commercialize them.

After selling them all to rich people, I would be able to downgrade the performance and sell them.

There were rich people all over the world who could be ripped off now.
