Damn Necromancer (130)
war of nerves
Even though it was limited to a month, the competition ended faster than expected.
In just two weeks, the awakeners from each country returned after completing the competition.
The results spread quickly.
korea?
It was literally turned upside down.
[(Breaking News!) Money-making guild makes Korea shine! Taking 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in the Super Rookie Competition… … .]
[(Breaking News!) Preliminary Raid, 77% of the money-making guild contribution!]
[(Breaking News!) The reason he hasn’t returned yet is because of a special reward?!]
[(Breaking News!) I am sure that the returning awakeners have received great rewards from Korea… … .]
―No way, did you get an all-kill in Geum, Eun-dong? Is this true?
―Participants all over the world are saying the same thing, so that must be a lie lol.
―Kim Min-woo, another super hard carry haha. You defeated the raid boss by yourself, right?
―ㅁㅊ. Contribution 42%? Isn’t that the level where he cut off all of the boss’ limbs by himself?
-What about other guild members? 15% for 20%;
―3-person raid haha
―Even all of the awakened people who raided together are the future resources of the nation haha.
-Kya; I thought Kim Min-woo only had great skills, but his eye is also crazy haha. They even discovered Park Si-woo and Seo Ye-rim haha.
-yep. I heard that the guilds have all given up on Park Si-woo because he hasn’t awakened. If it weren’t for Minwoo Kim, you probably would have been digging in the construction site by now.
―Seo Ye-rim is even crazier haha After going to the gate once, she threw away the sword she had been using for half her life and became an archer haha.
―Wasn’t he famous for holding a sword during the first birthday party at the shrine? lol
-Oh, that video? Haha, it was shit haha.
―It brings back memories haha It was legendary that the corner of the swordsman’s mouth twitched when he saw that haha Wasn’t grandpa still on active duty at that time?
―It wasn’t like I was retired like I am now, but I rarely went out to attack the gate.
-but. He was also in his 60s then; That’s normal haha
-Grandpa ㅠㅠ
―Yes, haha, the grandpa is still fresh haha. He made a world record cut in his 80s.
―In the first place, kimchi tastes best when it is thoroughly cooked.
―Is he a bastard?
―Anyway, the shrine was eventually born, right? Have a drink~
When netizens are making a fuss like that.
A huge news hit the news.
[(Breaking News) Is China fiddling with the ‘export control’ card? The possibility of a resource crisis increases!]
―… … What is it?
―I think it’s because of the second exam? I guess all Chinese awakened people have been searched.
-yep. Among the awakened powers, it was the only one to be wiped out.
– After listening to it, it was worth talking about, but what? Did you think you would survive after sacrificing fellow awakened people? lol
―I was judged, haha. But that’s it… … Aren’t we screwed?
-why?
―Look at the list; If they are all controlled, we’ll be back to the Stone Age, right?
―Not self-sufficient?
―Will it work? Haha, the trucks will stop right now and a logistics crisis will break out haha.
―Then what do we do?
-There’s breaking news again. These guys are really annoying; Do you think the damn guild is really going to take control if you don’t apologize politely?
―… … So should I apologize?
-uh… … well? Should I do it?
-I can’t do it… … Haha, our lives are a bit… … It’s going to get tough, right?
―I can survive by eating mixed grain rice wrapped in kimchi!
-uh… … Won’t the prices of mixed grains and kimchi also skyrocket? … ?
―Evande;; Even ramen… … ?
-under… … Does Korea really have to feel sorry again? … ?
at that time.
Kim Min-woo appeared on the news. Even the sight of reporters urgently asking questions.
Soon after.
―… … Guild leader. Have you ever thought of selling the elixir to another country?
-Well, considering the situation?
With Kim Min-woo’s answer, cheers began to pour in.
-That’s it. Haha, I think the game has been completely turned over. lol
-Really. This is where I get the best elixir recipe haha.
―If this is the case, it’s worth a try haha.
―(Gakrin) I know it’s precious, but is it to that extent?
―Gaklin is cute. That’s how good the top-quality elixir is. How good is it that other countries will even make secret pacts to get it?
―If we spray evil weapons on neighboring countries except China, it’s already a bad idea, right? lol
―The gate battle is right around the corner, but China’s performance is sinking haha.
-no. No need to spray it haha. Did you forget? That’s an American strategic asset haha.
―What kind of idiot made a secret pact to get an elixir? Haha, you can buy it by giving money to Kim Min-woo.
―Am I the only one who can already hear the U.S. Ambassador to Korea running towards me? lol

―Yes, the Chinese ambassador to Korea is running now with his hair falling out~ If we leave that alone, it will be a disaster haha.
* * *
When asked if he would sell the elixir to other countries, Minwoo Kim answered with a shrug. It’s probably being broadcast live around the world.
‘At this point, I need to increase the size.’
china?
It’s a bit difficult to hit Korea.
It would be very sad if exports were controlled. Then, just bring in the bigger kids.
For example, the United States is using this as a strategic asset.
They are friendly countries that even made secret agreements and only imported goods among themselves.
Roughly speaking, awakened powers.
Not long after I returned from the interview, I received numerous requests to meet.
The first to run was the U.S. ambassador.
I ran so quickly that I could see the empty top of my head glistening with sweat.
“Nice to meet you, Minwoo Kim. “This is Stephen, the U.S. Ambassador to Korea.”
“Nice to meet you. “But what brought you here?”
Steven was shocked to see Kim Min-woo asking with a sly smile as if he knew everything.
That too for a while.
He calmed his complexion like a professional and asked carefully.
“… … Are you really sure you found the highest-quality elixir recipe?”
“They gave me a lot of good things there.”
“… … We also need a minimum verification process. Do you understand?”
“sure. But I’m not really asking you to show me the recipe… … .”
“You just need to name three materials related to demon-type monsters and two materials related to human-type monsters.”
“Colossus’ spinal fluid, Atango’s tail feathers, the heart of a demon, Medusa’s hair, and the eyeball of a centaur chieftain. “What are you talking about?”
“… … .”
The ambassador’s face hardened.
Even he didn’t know all the recipes. We simply asked questions based on information provided directly by the President.
‘same.’
Starting with the monster that Minwoo Kim is talking about right now, all the way down to its detailed parts.
It was exactly the same as part of the recipe the president mentioned.
‘… … ‘You really saved me.’
At this point, I had no choice but to admit it.
“Let’s get to the point. “What America wants is probably for Korea to be the only one using it, right?”
“… … yes.”
To be precise, it would be best to only use Kim Min-woo and the money guild… … .
‘That would be impossible.’
Even in the United States, limiting the scope to that level was close to unreasonable.
Minwoo Kim coolly revealed that he had the recipe right now.
Koreans?
Of course, they would hope that the awakened people in their own country would also benefit to some extent.
Considering that, we should at least allow Korea, the country that possesses it, to utilize it.
But it shouldn’t be much more than that.
America is in great trouble.
“I’m sure you didn’t come to ask for that bare-faced… … .”
“… … “What do you want?”
“well. What do I want? If you sell this, you’re just making money, but you don’t seem to be able to do that? hmm… … .”
“… … Do you want money?”
“Is that all it takes? It looks like you can’t even exercise influence? “There are many things in the world that are more valuable than money.”
Cold sweat broke out on Stephen’s face. To be honest, his pride was a little hurt. Even if he were the president of Korea, he wouldn’t be so arrogant in front of himself.
‘damn… … .’
But, the situation got really bad.
Shouting out loud here, what if Kim Min-woo claims to meet the Chinese ambassador?
I’m in real trouble.
Korea is at best an ally, but China is in fact an enemy.
From America’s perspective, there has never been anything more tiring than that.
‘What on earth should I give you?’
I don’t know how much they might ask for if they give it to me in money.
If you look closely, it looks like money alone won’t be able to control it.
Kim Min-woo, who saw the line remaining silent, smiled.
“America and Korea are still friends, right?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“I also want to get along well with friends, if possible.”
“haha… … Is that so?”
Of course.
Are we going to pretend to be the most powerful nation in the world, the United States?
It would be a hundred times better to slap China in the face.
‘There’s nothing to gain by pretending right now.’
It was best to give what I had to give, take what I needed, and move on.
“China was really noisy.”
“It will be quiet soon.”
“That’s natural. “Can I sell some elixirs there?”
“… … “You mean in China?”
“If we sell it for 10 times the price, the United States will not suffer any loss.”
“… … yes? “10 times that?”
What on earth is this guy talking about?
Stephen tilted his head.
All the U.S. sells to friendly countries with which it has entered into secret agreements is 1.5 times the price.
Are there one or two countries that are making a fuss about not being able to buy even 1.5 times that amount?
But selling it for 10 times?
Would you buy it based on common sense? … .
‘wait for a sec. ‘Maybe they can really survive?’
A battle for the gate is just around the corner.
There was nothing he couldn’t buy for a few top awakened people.
600 pieces for 80 billion each.
‘Article 48… … .’
I think I can do something about a few people if I squeeze… … .
‘No matter how you look at it, it’s crazy… … .’
What if the United States survives like that?
I didn’t know that an impeachment bill would come up soon.
But China has a slightly different structure.
Because the fund flow was opaque from the beginning. In addition, there is a political structure that is close to dictatorship.
Then, were there one or two dictators who ruined the country?
Considering that, it wasn’t impossible at all.
but… … .
“… … “Are they really going to pay that price?”
“It’s not a question of should I buy it. “You have to make them buy it.”
Minwoo Kim answered with a grin.
“And there’s no law that says you can only be paid in money.”
“… … .”
If China really bought the elixir at that price, it was a thank you to the United States.
Because it was like destroying the country just to gain the abilities of a few awakened people.
It is not a structure that can defeat the United States, the most powerful nation in awakening, just because a few top awakened people become stronger.
“… … “I’ll have to discuss it with the home country, but if they really sell it that way, I think there’s room for consideration.”
“Please tell me to think about it carefully. Still, I think it would be in America’s interest for Korea to grow bigger than China.”
“Honestly, I agree.”
“Then we should get to the point, right?”
Selling it to China at a high price is selling it out. I haven’t received anything from America yet.
The top of Stephen’s head began to sparkle again.
* * *
“It was a pleasure, Ambassador.”
“I feel the same way. I’m telling you this just in case… … .”
“Don’t worry. The Chinese ambassador won’t even see my face. Oh, do you still want to watch it on TV?”
“I think we can have a good relationship with Kim Min-woo.”
“I also quite like the ambassador.”
“Then, we will contact you again after discussing it with your home country.”
Stephen leaves.
Before long, one of the guards came over and whispered.
“young master. The Chinese ambassador has been waiting for you since a while ago… … .”
“Didn’t I tell you to go?”
“Is that possible? However, I really need to meet Seonghwa… … .”
“Just kick it out. If he holds out, just drag him out.”
“still… … “Is that okay?”
“sure. “That’s okay.”
Isn’t that why they are in cahoots with the United States? Even if we impose export controls on this matter.
‘China will die.’
What’s the situation now?
China vs. US allies + US + Korea.
Even if you control it, are you going to suffer for a month or two?
On the other hand, China will die for many years because of that choice.
‘Well, they just tell them to bark on their own.’
It was necessary to move diligently until a response came from the United States.
Top-quality elixir recipe.
Used on skeletons.
If you have the ingredients, you can use alchemy to create an elixir.
‘The problem is that it comes out sloppy.’
Top-tier elixir?
The production difficulty level is close to the highest.
On the other hand, the skeletons’ alchemy is at D level. Even if you try to make it, the failure rate is enormous, and even if you do make it, you will only get poor results for now.
You need to have at least level A in alchemy to be able to make a proper elixir.
It would probably take several months of rolling around with skeletons to get it up there.
There is no time for that.
Current level is around 270.
The elixir consumption level of 300 will be reached soon.
I had to find someone to make the elixir.
‘Well, it’s still possible to make it if you tell me the recipe.’
You can’t make it because you don’t know exactly what ingredients are used and how to make it, but if you know the ingredients and method, you can try manufacturing it as much as you like.
Then, the recipe will be registered.
Coincidentally, one person came to mind. There are quite useful alchemists in Korea too.
I opened my smartphone and made a call.
Soon after.
―H-Hello… … ?!
I heard a voice answering the phone urgently with a trembling voice.
‘I guess it’s worth it.’
At least if you’re an alchemist.
At this moment, you must be feeling your heart pounding as to what it means for Kim Min-woo to call you.
“Choi Yuna? Long time no see. Yes, this is Minwoo Kim. You’ve probably already seen the news. I happen to need some top-quality elixirs. Should we meet up and talk about it?”
From the lowest level, low level, middle level, to high level elixir. Choi Yu-na, an alchemist who put her hands to good use in making things quickly and accurately.
After that, I gave Siwoo pocket money and had him make an elixir and drink it.
Even the highest level elixir seemed to be indebted to him.
That’s how Minwoo Kim left the house.
“Nice to meet you, Yuna Choi.”
“Me too!”
Choi Yu-na, who saw Kim Min-woo wearing a hat at a cafe, stamped his feet and said.
Top-quality elixir recipe.
When I saw on TV that Kim Min-woo got it, I was so shocked that I thought I was going to turn my head around.
After all, isn’t this a recipe that only American witches possess?
I was so crazy about it that I wanted it so much.
Still, I couldn’t contact him.
This was because when I first met him and the person he is now, his status was completely different.
Recently, all I have been in contact with is Park Si-woo.
That was until the advanced elixir was supplied. I thought we would never meet again anymore… … .
“Let’s get to the point. “I know the recipe, and Yuna knows how to make it.”
“Yes, yes!”
“But it doesn’t make sense to just tell you this.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“Do you think it’s canned food?”
“… … Sat, canned food?”
Yuna Choi tilted her head.
Isn’t that something like being locked up somewhere and making products?
“Seven years. “Let’s live like that for just 7 years.”
Minwoo Kim said with a grin.
