I’m the only magic tower owner episode 018
Jin Jin-ra and I decided to join tomorrow and got ready for work right away.
First, I bought several hundred bundles of thin fabric from a nearby wholesale store.
Although it is still a piece of clothing, it is a type of vest that can be lightly worn over outerwear by inserting the arms. About 1,000 won per sheet.
I piled up a bunch of these clothes in the lobby and started working.
A 2nd process magic created by combining two 1st process magic.
In the case of spell magic, as the ‘process’ increases, the length of the spell increases, and in the case of magic circles, as the ‘process’ increases, the number of fields, or circles, increases.
If you look at high-level magic circles, you will often see a large circle with several small circles inside, and they are all magic circles of level 2 or higher.
1 process + 1 process = 2 processes, but the construction difficulty is not simply doubly difficult.
Magic is like a complex ecosystem, so each time a process is added, the difficulty of building it increases in squares rather than addition.
Fortunately, I was able to purely understand the 2nd process magic system during the boss battle with Baphomet, so I easily understood the concept itself.
But what was still difficult was mastery.
No matter how much I practiced, it wasn’t as effective as the 1st process magic of Manaarrow, Gauntlet, and Shield.
‘In the end, the only answer is bone-cutting practice.’
I put my palm on the back of the stacked white vests and started drawing a magic circle.
The main one is the rune of heat dissipation. Then she drew another small circle inside it and drew a rune of continuation.
Since two magic circles had to be applied, the formula became more difficult, but I managed to write it down by referring to the ‘magic standard’.
After some trial and error,
[For the first time, two magic circles have been combined.]
[Magic power has increased by 2 levels.]
[Intelligence has reached the 1st floor.]
[Magic circle of heat radiation – continuous]
Magic circle value: C
Process: 2nd process
Classification: persistent
Special Effect: Heat Resistance
Comprehension: 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, my skill level increased and my speed increased, and I was barely able to fill up to one-third of the quota.
600 sheets in one night is too much. I decided to handle the rest on site and closed my eyes with difficulty.

The next morning.
I arrived in Yeoju on an intercity bus early in the morning.
It was near a quiet riverside with a ferry, but the parking lot was filled with cars and people were bustling from the entrance.
And above all.
“Bachelor! Don’t you need armor?”
“Look at the equipment! It’s all made from monster skin!”
“Check out the dungeon essentials!”
There were a lot of street vendors bustling around.
The smell of spicy chicken skewers assaulted my nose.
From street food to various equipment, there was everything.
‘It looks like I’m at the bottom of a market somewhere, not a dungeon.’
The scene of street stalls lined up around a dungeon has now become a very common part of everyday life in Korea. I walked quickly across the street, trying not to make eye contact with the burdensome street vendors.
‘I was supposed to meet near the public restroom.’
I asked Jin Jin-ra where she was via messenger. The emoticon of an animal character running hard came back along with the reply that they were all there.
I decided to sit down on a nearby rock and wait.
Buuuuuung!
A luxurious black BMW passed through a narrow street and entered the parking lot.
The car door clicked open and the young driver jumped out.
I think I’m still young, but it’s a foreign car… … . As I was watching with interest, a familiar face appeared from the passenger seat he had opened.
‘Why is he coming out of there?’
It was none other than Jin Jin-ra.
She smiled, thanked him, and went to the trunk with the man.
And then I started taking out all sorts of things.
“Thanks for the ride! Oppa.”
“No, no. I was on my way too, but whatever. Take care on this dungeon trip as well.”
“Drive safely, brother!”
Buuuuuung!
The BMW returned the way it came. Jinbo-ra saw the car leaving and waved for a while, but then turned around with a cool expression and said, ‘You’re being very condescending with a used crap car.’ ‘ she muttered.
“I’m here?”
“Ouch!”
She looked back in surprise.
“No, you were surprised! Senior!”
“Did you seduce a man again and get a car?”
“You’re flirting!”

She blushed and screamed. I sighed softly.
“It’s not a matter for me to discuss, but… you might get hurt a lot someday.”
“Hehe! Don’t worry. I also follow all the lines.”
So that’s the fishing ground, girl.
“Anyway, I’ve prepared everything just like I said yesterday!”
My eyes turned to her pile of supplies. Banners, mobile tents, balloons, and even dancing wind dolls.
“……Where are you going to the event?”
“It’s cute, right? It’s better to prepare thoroughly.”
She held the deflated doll next to her face and smiled brightly.
“It’s all good, but how do you put air in it?”
“Senior, you will blow for me.”
“…….”
“Come on, come on, let’s go in!”
We packed up our bags and headed toward the dungeon.
There were cordons everywhere, and armed hunters, police, and association officials were controlling the players. A female employee dressed in the association’s uniform shouted, waving her arms.
“I will help you enter in 5 minutes!”
… … Have you been to an amusement park somewhere?
It was very different from the tense dungeon feeling I had imagined.
Well, the field dungeon where those rank monsters appear is probably like this.
I have to go to the upper level dungeons later to create the situations I dream of.
There are a lot of reporters, military helicopters are floating in the sky making noise, and the guild members about to enter the dungeon are putting their hands together with a determined expression and exchanging lines such as ‘Let’s make sure we survive this time too!’
At my current growth rate, I think going to a dungeon like that won’t be too far in the future.
“Please enter!”
Jinbo and I also waited in line.
A large crack appeared in the air, and the entrance to the dungeon was gaping like a black hole.
Even people who had been joking around without any tension began to harden their expressions. After waiting a bit, it was soon our turn.
“Please show me your entry permit.”
At the words of the association staff, we took out our academy student ID cards.
Players who are not yet professional hunters must have a ‘provisional license’ that allows them to hunt monsters. We were able to replace the license with our student ID.
“You are academy students. Confirmed.”
After a few simple additional steps, we were able to follow the people in front of us into the dungeon’s black portal.
Woooooo!
When I entered the portal, the surrounding environment completely changed. A warm feeling penetrated into my mouth.
The ground was black rock with lots of holes. The rivers flowing here and there were yellow, and the smell of frankincense, reminiscent of rotten eggs, pierced my nose.
‘This is a lava cave.’
I suddenly felt itchy, but unfortunately, I wasn’t here today for hunting.
If you reach your goal amount, go hunting in the remaining time, whatever.
“Then shall we begin?”
“okay.”
First, we unfolded the portable tent and fixed it firmly to the ground, then hung a banner on top.
I don’t know where they printed something like that, but ‘Heat resistance equipment 30% OFF!’ It was written:
“……30% discount?”
“Hehe, even if it’s not a real discount, if you put numbers like that, it really stands out! Just
‘We sell heat resistance equipment!’ “It’s so boring if you do that.”
After listening to it, it seems to be true.
Next, we set up the banners we had prepared around the tent and piled up the heat-resistant clothes I had worked on on the table.
“For humane purposes, let’s not make wind puppets.”
“Why! This is the highlight!”
“It’s too distracting.”
“But it definitely attracts attention!”
“Even if we don’t use things like this, it’s enough to attract attention. We’re the only people selling things in the dungeon.”
Even so, several people who entered the dungeon were showing interest in us. We finished the work quickly.
“Senior! I’ll just change the position of the back banner for a moment.”
“okay.”
Jin Jin-ra disappeared and I was left alone in the tent. People entering the dungeon passed by, looking this way once in a while.
Wow, I guess I should start a business with this… … .
It’s a bit more embarrassing than I thought.
Basically, I had no experience doing business or sales like this.
How should I speak in front of people? Are you selling equipment? Are you buying equipment? No, I’m not talking about the market. Are you looking at the equipment? What did the street vendors say earlier?
“What are you selling?”
At that time, several people showed interest and approached me first. I said with as calm a smile as possible.
“We are selling equipment that blocks the heat of lava tubes.”
“Is it something like a cold pack?”
“It’s not like that, it’s an item.”
These days, the word ‘item’ is used in the same way as ‘something from another world, not something from the Earth.’ A member of the party of the person who asked the question appeared from behind and spoke.
“There’s no way something like a cold pack costs 50,000 won. It must be an item.”
“What is the effect specifically?”
First of all, it seemed to have succeeded in attracting people’s interest.
“This effect completely blocks the heat of the lava tube for two hours.”
Murmur.
People who heard my story started talking about the item.
It is natural that the response was good. The most difficult thing about this lava cave is the heat.
Looking at the reviews, it said that even if you hunt monsters for just 10 minutes, your whole body will sweat, and after about 30 minutes, it will start to have a direct negative effect on your stamina and condition, so you should stop hunting.
If you overdo it and hunt for an hour, you’ll collapse.
Still, the hunting efficiency of lava caves was said to be good. There is only one problem, the heat in the field, but if that can be prevented, it would not be a big waste to pay about 50,000 won considering the entrance ticket and the profit from the magic stone.
Since I am also selling a piece of cloth worth 1,000 won for 50,000 won, it is an overwhelming profit.
“I see.”
A man with slitted eyes approached and spoke.
“Is this the right item?”
“……yes?”
“An item that blocks heat for two hours? I’ve never heard of it.”
The person next to him also looked at the clothes on the table with a puzzled expression.
“It’s a little strange. Does something like this really block the heat? No matter how you look at it, it just looks like a white tee.”
“Is there any guarantee that it will last exactly two hours? What kind of monster is it made from?”
Disbelief began to appear in people’s eyes.
Hmm, this is difficult.
Although the quality was confident, people were questioning its reliability.
Because of this problem, I deliberately planned to enter the dungeon and sell items, but it seemed like this wasn’t enough.
My head spun quickly. There is a way to set a refund condition, and there is also a way to spread the word by offering it for free to some people. how will we do it.
“Senior! What’s going on?”
Jin Jin-ra, who saw the commotion at that time, rushed over and returned. When I explained the situation, she smiled faintly.
“Of course there is a guarantee.”
“……What is it?”
“We are from the Hunter Academy student council.”
When she proudly held out her academy student ID card, the slit-eyed man made a flinching expression. People were buzzing and looking at Jin Jin-ra.
“You’re talking about the academy that the president of the association built himself, right?”
“I applied there and was rejected.”
“Besides, they’re student council kids.”
Jin Jin-ra smiled brightly and explained things like a stream of water.
“Actually, the prototype developed by the Academy Research Council is about to be released! All internal testing has been completed, and now our student council has decided to go out into the dungeon and market it to see consumer reactions.”
Jin Jin-ra, who would have thought that she would sell the name of the school even though she is a member of the student council… … .
Still, the effect was clear. I felt that people’s trust went up when they heard the word ‘Korea Hunter Academy’.
“Well, if they were scammers, they wouldn’t have come into the dungeon and sold it.”
“Are you sure it’s effective?”
“Of course! It’s a product endorsed by the Academy!”
Jin Jin-ra said that and narrowed her eyes in my direction.
“Discounted price of only 50,000 won! Start hunting comfortably in the open dungeon! This doesn’t even leave a margin for research expenses!”
Several people responded immediately.
“Please give me four.”
I handed over the clothes and received 20 crisp 10,000 won bills.
I felt a little dizzy. You can really make money with this.
“On sale for a limited time of 200 copies! Yes! Thank you!”
We started business in earnest. Jin Jin-ra went to the front and did business, and I took care of the billing.
Jin Jin-ra’s sales skills were outstanding.
First of all, her presence itself attracted people’s attention just by stepping out in front.
A sweet voice, an effortless gaze, and even a lively yet trustworthy atmosphere.
He was attracting customers using all the techniques he used on men.
And the market’s reaction to the product was mixed.
People who believe in the value of the name Academy and purchase it.
People are hesitating to buy it, saying that it remains to be seen whether it will really be effective.
But people’s worries did not last long.
“This is it, right? I heard they sell heat resistance equipment at the dungeon entrance!”
“Students! How much is left in inventory?”
Rumors spread quickly.
As word spread of people hunting comfortably wearing the heat-resistant equipment I made, people who were hunting in the field came in droves.
100 sheets ran out in an instant.
A profit of 5 million won was added to my pocket without any special expenses.
“We’re here again!”
“How did students make this?”
“It’s coming tomorrow too, so let’s stock up on plenty.”
And those who used the heat resistance equipment once were very satisfied and wanted to secure the remaining supplies.
Oh my god, a 2-hour instance magic circle with a small amount of my mana added to a piece of cloth that I bought for free is selling for 50,000 won. Is this the creative economy?
“Sir! This is not the time!”
“huh?”
“I’ll do the math. Let’s make more here! Come on!”
The magic business is doing very well.
