We Do Business In Full Auto [EN]: Chapter 185

185

Dimensional Shift (1)

Swords, spears, daggers—if I sharpened weapons that only appear in games or movies, I might get reported.

Of course, I could handle that myself, but it was better to deal with things quietly to avoid any fuss.

“Very well. Let’s go in.”

“Yes, Chairman.”

As we entered the factory, a scorching heat surged from all directions.

In the crucible, molten iron flowed, pouring directly into molds to produce weapons like swords and spears.

The armor was also one-piece, which meant mass production wouldn’t have been possible if the undead soldiers had varying physiques.

This was possible because the undead soldiers had standardized body types.

Like a human with a height of 185cm and a weight of 80kg.

A physique optimized for combat.

The military boots were also made of steel, encasing all parts in steel.

Such cold weapons could not be produced without modern mass production technology.

If the other world had medieval-level technology, they wouldn’t be able to stop an army of hundreds of thousands of steel soldiers. They wouldn’t stand a chance.

If science had advanced enough to use gunpowder weapons, things might be different, but then we could engrave magic circles on the armor.

‘Magic circles?’

The weapons were still in production.

So, wouldn’t it be possible to engrave magic circles as well?

“Hmm.”

“Is something wrong?”

“Is it possible to add patterns to the armor or weapons?”

“Of course. We can do both intaglio [incised designs] and relief [raised designs].”

“Good. Let’s have patterns engraved on all the weapons.”

“However, there will be an additional cost.”

“How much?”

“About 10,000 won [approximately $8 USD] per weapon…”

“…….”

The technology is indeed good.

It’s only possible because of mass production, but engraving a magic circle costs only 10,000 won? And that’s per piece.

Director Oh had almost calculated the cost at cost price. Engraving magic circles on the weapons would turn them into magical tools.

The shields could even deflect bullets.

That meant that most countries on Earth wouldn’t be able to stop my army.

There might not be any wars on Earth in the future, but you never know. Nothing is ever certain.

“Let’s take a look around and then go in. I have something to discuss.”

“Ah, yes. Let’s do that.”

The weapons were being mass-produced.

Since engraving magic circles wasn’t that difficult, we should apply it immediately and start production.

Lee Seul-gi quietly asked.

“Chairman, what are you planning to do?”

“Ah, I’m going to make magical tools.”

“M-Magical tools?”

“If we’re doing it, it’s better to do it properly, right? If they wear magical tools instead of regular weapons, they’ll fight better.”

“Wow… Are you making magical tools for 10,000 won?”

“There’s also the cost of the weapons, so it’s not just 10,000 won. We also have to make magic stones, so it’s quite a cumbersome task.”

“But you’re going to do it with machines, right?”

“That’s true.”

100,000 sets of magical tools.

This was only possible because my level had reached the limit of human ability.

The steel mill office.

The office attached to the factory was used by the factory workers.

Right now, all the factory workers were away from their seats.

Director Oh Jung-cheol handed me paper and a pen.

“What kind of pattern do you want?”

“Intaglio [incised], and I’d like these patterns included.”

“Intaglio is simple.”

I quickly drew the patterns.

Runic letters were densely inscribed, with a pentagram in the center and a magic stone attached to it.

The armor would have shield, dark recovery, and magic amplification functions, the shield would have five layers of shields and weight reduction magic, and the weapons would have various attack magic engraved on them.

As I thought about a few things, this became a thorough preparation for war.

“What are these drawings…”

“A battery of this size goes in the center. You’ll also need to make a battery case.”

“Um… It’s possible.”

“How long will it take?”

“Including the process of making and inserting the battery, we’ll need to add two more days.”

“Start immediately.”

“Yes! Then I’ll make a copy and return the drawings!”

Director Oh Jung-cheol operated the copier himself.

Probably because there were no factory workers here.

I gave the drawing to Lee Seul-gi as well.

“Commission the same production to other steel mills as well.”

“To think that magical tools can be made so cheaply…”

“It’s mass production, you know?”

I was reaping the benefits of science and technology.

Around afternoon.

While handling various tasks along with weapon production, it was already almost 3 PM.

I came out to the lobby to have a cup of coffee when I saw some people running towards this place.

Dada dada!

It was a familiar gait.

A beautiful girl, now about 8 years old, was running with her silver hair flowing.

She resembled her mother with distinct features, and if she grew up a little more, a woman of breathtaking beauty would be born.

“Soo-jung?”

“Daddy!”

“Oh, Soo-jung.”

My eldest daughter suddenly came to the company, but it wasn’t surprising.

What’s wrong with a daughter coming to the company to see her dad? Ah, of course, it would be a problem for regular employees. But it’s different if it’s my company.

Soo-jung jumped and clung to me.

“Young Miss!”

The bodyguards were sweating.

There was a stir among the secretarial staff as well.

There were many existing secretaries, but there were also newly hired ones.

People who saw Soo-jung in person for the first time were stunned.

“What brings you here?”

“I came because I missed Daddy!”

“Hahaha! You came at a good time.”

It was obvious.

People were tilting their heads, probably because my face, which was always full of force, was half out of it.

“Let’s go inside.”

“Yes! Soo-jung has good news too!”

It was natural.

Soo-jung had been busy these days, so she wouldn’t have come to the company for no reason. Something really important must have happened for her to come.

“Secretary Han.”

“Yes, Chairman!”

“Order a pizza.”

“Understood.”

“Sister, Soo-jung likes shrimp!”

“Ah, yes.”

There was an emergency among the secretaries.

Soo-jung’s sudden visit. Unless I had a son, Soo-jung might inherit the company someday.

Of course, since I had reached the 7th Circle, Soo-jung and I would grow old together.

Anyway, the secretaries, who couldn’t possibly know that fact, were trying to make a good impression on Soo-jung so they could bring the pizza as quickly as possible.

In the meantime, I talked to Soo-jung.

“Really, what brings you here?”

“Daddy! I finished it!”

“Oh, really?”

“The compilation is done, and it’s theoretically perfect. I’ve done the verification several times!”

I had heard that the compilation and verification were being delayed.

But Soo-jung finally completed the dimensional 이동 [dimensional travel] magic circle.

“It’s already done.”

It was like a dream.

Of course, to perform a dimensional 이동 [dimensional travel], a large number of long-charged magic stones were needed, but they were being produced in ultra-large quantities.

The magic stones produced all over the world were secretly coming into Korea.

Right now, there was an enormous amount of magic stones piled up in the warehouse. So opening the gate itself wasn’t that difficult.

“It’s today.”

“Are you going today?”

“I have to. I need to go and check it out first.”

“I’m excited.”

The pizza arrived in 15 minutes.

Soo-jung immediately took a bite of the pizza.

“If there are no problems, Soo-jung wants to go right away!”

“Okay. If there are no problems.”

But I wondered if there would be no problems.

We were crossing over to a completely different dimension from Earth, so there was no way there wouldn’t be problems. Rather, I was hoping that problems would arise. That way, I could use the 100,000-strong army that I had painstakingly created.

The first unit was training, and the second unit was on standby.

In other words, 200,000 soldiers had been completed.

“This is going to be fun.”

Today is just a simple exploration.

I need to find out what structure the other world has, what form it takes, whether it’s hostile to strangers, and whether monsters or demons live there.

Even that much would be considered a successful exploration.

The basement warehouse of the mansion.

It wouldn’t make sense for a mansion with a floor area of 100 pyeong [approximately 3,600 square feet] not to have a basement.

There was a huge open space in the basement, and the magic circle was secretly drawn there.

Drawing the magic circle itself wasn’t that difficult. The problem wasn’t drawing the magic circle, but interpreting it.

Drawing it itself would take an hour.

Huge magic stones were embedded at the vertices of the hexagram, and the magic circle began to emit all sorts of bizarre energies.

The highlight was that it required magic power reaching the 7th Circle. It had to be activated by a perfect 7th Circle black magician, not a 7th Circle magic power completed by trickery.

I looked at my family’s faces.

My family was looking at this place with considerable anticipation.

Even my wife was the same.

“You’ve finally completed it.”

“Yes.”

“The wish of thousands of years of black magicians is here. If the Cotton family finds out, it’s an achievement that would make them immediately serve you as the head of the family.”

I shrugged my shoulders.

I didn’t want to get involved with my in-laws now.

Of course, if they came to Korea and made three earnest requests to make me the head of the family, I might consider it for a moment.

After learning about my wife’s secret, Lisa didn’t react as seriously to her in-laws. Now that I think about it, it might be because she was a black magician that she reacted more sensitively to her in-laws.

“Aren’t you taking any escorts?”

“Ah, I made them.”

Sssst!

As I manifested my will, 12 summons consisting of succubi and high-ranking demons appeared, wearing the cold weapons produced today.

They were made of titanium alloy, so they gleamed in silver, and they had magic circles engraved on them, so they had a very unique appearance.

But it didn’t look strange at all.

From the beginning, I had commissioned an expert to design them. They were weapons that looked like warriors of God.

“Wow, cool!”

Soo-jung admired them as she looked at them.

My wife was the same.

“You’ve captured both functionality and beauty.”

“That’s right. Maybe they’ll be called God’s army in the other world.”

“It would be interesting if a black magician disguised himself as God.”

Wooong! Wooong! Wooong!

The magic circle was making even more noise.

“I’ll be back.”

“Wait a minute!”

Soo-jung grabbed me.

“What’s wrong?”

“Daddy. When I calculated it, the time flows a little differently on this side and that side.”

“Huh?”

“One day here is one week there.”

“Then it’ll be okay.”

I was surprised for a moment.

If one week on Earth was one day in the other world, the problem would be serious. But the opposite was very reassuring.

Even if I stayed in the other world for a week, only one day would have passed on Earth.

I stroked Soo-jung’s head once and activated the magic circle.

Paah!

A tremendous concentration of energy soared like light.

A huge pillar was created, and the other side of the other world was clearly revealed within it.
