How a Catastrophic Necromancer Retired

10 episodes

Skeletons, several times larger than before, make shoes 24 hours a day without a break.

And a shoe factory that achieved a nightmare by subsidizing the detailed parts that such skeletons could not do in shifts.

Kim Deok-bae said with an expression of emotion that he saw the factory in full operation after a long time.

“How long have you been so busy? It’s all thanks to you.”

“What, the sales were all done by Mr. Kim.”

“By the way, maybe the margin is set too low?”

“It’s okay, it’s okay.”

China has risen to the ranks of the world’s largest manufacturing country by smashing other countries’ manufacturing industries in an instant at ridiculously low prices.

There is already a good precedent, so I should do the same.

Because peeling is a sales method that can maximize the strengths of the skeleton.

“If you’re going to sell it cheap anyway, you have to sell it at a shockingly low price to be able to hit it like crazy.”

Surprising and shocking at the same time.

The main specialty of the undead.

“Look. Thanks to you, you are so full of work, aren’t you?”

The situation in which Korean products, which have a better image than Chinese ones, are even cheaper.

Naturally, not only Chinese buyers such as Appointed Yonggi, but also buyers from all over the world came with a blank expression, were surprised by the low price, and ordered new shoes at a similar unit price when they said that they could be made to order.

Thanks to that, I indiscriminately increased the skeletons accordingly, and the amount of shoes printed in this small factory a day reached 9,000 pairs.

“Increasing the order quantity at a low unit price, and increasing the skeleton when the order quantity increases, repeating infinitely. You have to make money like this.”

It may start small, but once it starts rolling, it grows exponentially in size, the so-called snowball effect.

The one that is most optimized for this kind of snowball is me.

As long as the undead are not destroyed, they provide me with infinite labor power.

So, first of all, it doesn’t matter if you look at the minimum margin, so focus on increasing your size.

As the company grows, the money automatically comes with it.

Besides, shouldn’t it be necessary to increase the scale so quickly to produce consignment with the maker?

“Sell a lot cheap, then sell more cheap, then more more. It’s simple, isn’t it?”

“It seems that there is only one representative in the world who can say that it is simple…”

I’ve been struggling for 30 years, but I have to do this.

Kim Deok-bae nodded and said.

“Anyway, I understand. However, according to that statement, even if the factory runs for 24 hours now, it is not possible to digest all orders, so it seems to be the time to increase the number of skeletons… There is a problem.”

what’s the problem?

There are plenty of skeletons made as a spare in the subspace.

At that time, Kim Deok-bae pointed to the factory with an awkward expression and said.

“There is no place to place additional skeletons.”

“uh?”

The workforce is rotten.

Orders are pouring in.

Seron is cruising enough to scream of joy in a typical company.

However, the only thing that Seron lacked was the space.

Ceron shoes that filled the factory with 100 skeletons and existing employees.

“Yes. There is nowhere to lay the line.”

“Yes. The factory is completely saturated.”

I didn’t think of this.

But, is this even going to be a problem?

“We’re taking over a new factory, huh?”

If you run out of space, just increase it.

“It’s not a bad method, but maybe we should be a little more careful.”

“discretion?”

“The main consumers of these low-cost shoes are developing and underdeveloped countries. Right now, everyone is drunk on the fact that they are cheap Korean shoes, and everyone orders them, but how long will this trend last? Wouldn’t it be a big deal if there was a situation where the factory was taken over and the factory was teased because there was not enough supply?”

Kim Deok-bae, who is still unable to escape the mindset of the owner of a small factory.

At that, I said with a smirk.

“What does that matter?”

“Yes?”

“If you make fun of them, you’re making fun of them.

The biggest obstacle to increasing the size of a company is that they scaled up because the industry was good, and then the recession came and the labor costs of newly hired employees were accumulated as losses.

Just put it in the subspace and you’re done.

Of course, there are existing employees, but that is enough to cover the current income alone.

At my words, Kim Deok-bae nodded with a blank expression and said.

“okay. I’m still not used to this.”

“Anyway, you don’t have to be big to sign a consignment contract with a famous brand. We take this opportunity to take over another shoe factory, huh?”

what to look out for

When the spell explodes, you have to increase the size by a lot to earn more money faster.

In a quantity that no one could have imagined, quickly and by surprise.

“Or, well, you can rent a factory and then just buy a cutting machine and put it in. If the cost of the machine is burdensome, all you can do is skeletonize it and make it by hand.”

“Can, manual?”

“The labor cost is cheaper than the machine, from my point of view.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“What should I do. take over? Just rent one factory? What do you think would be better?”

Kim Deok-bae looked at me slightly and said.

“According to my personal greed, I think the acquisition would be better. Although there are skeletons, we still need manpower to fill the gaps. If possible, you have already mastered it.”

I said with a smirk.

“Just say it without noticing it. Because I plan to only manage the skeleton and leave the operation to Mr. Kim.”

How do I deal with all that trouble?

“Instead, if you pick a big one, I’ll give you incentives, so try your best.”

Kim Deok-bae bowed his head and said.

“Thank you, President!”

“Please recommend a company worth taking over.”

“Yes! I’ll find out right away! Everyone will love it!”

*

“thank you!”

Shoe factories that were in a similar situation to Kim Deok-bae’s factory before being taken over by Ceron accepted the offer as soon as they received it.

Anyway, this completed the acquisition of the 4th shoe factory.

“What.”

It really blows like a storm.

Of course, the factory has suddenly increased, so it cannot be fully operated 24 hours as in the first factory, but there is still enough supply.

“ruler. Then the skeleton…”

“Hey!”

It’s a scene I’ve seen many times already, so I put it into work right away without any reaction.

Skeletons who have already upgraded the sewing macro to version 2.3 are now working like artisans.

But in the end, the ending is up to me.

“From here to here… and…”

Because the location of the workbench is different for each factory and the movement route is different.

So, having finished setting up the basics, I told Kim Deok-bae’s subordinate, who was with me.

“Please take care of the rest.”

“Yes, sir.”

Now when this staff trains the staff here on how to work with skeletons and humans, the deployment is over.

“phew. Now go home and rest…”

But then, he receives a call from Kim Deok-bae.

“···ah.”

I took a deep breath and said.

“Whoa. That’s me.”

– I… Representative.

“Please speak.”

-I have received an order, so I think I will have to adjust the products for each line…

As for sewing or cutting, you just have to sew and cut according to a set line, so this has already risen to a high level, but in the end, the skeleton just repeats the same actions according to the injected commands.

In other words, if there is a change, such as a new spell coming in and a different shape of decoration applied, I have to take the initiative.

The problem is that as the number of factories increases and orders increase, the number of places I have to go also increases.

“I am now in Chungcheong-do.”

-sorry. But it’s a pretty big order…

“ha.”

what to do

It’s what I did and I have to do it.

“I will leave now.”

– I’m sorry, sir.

After the call, I muttered.

“This is a problem.”

It’s hard for me to be hard, but Kim Deok-bae has also been taking orders at the best, but I’m sorry and I have to ask for coordination.

“Are you both going to be exhausted and fall off like this?”

People who have to carefully ask for fine-tuning every time, and me who can’t refuse their requests.

If this continues, an accident may occur because I am unable to correct the design in time by looking at my eyes, and above all, I know myself well.

I know that if I try too hard like this, the annoyance will explode soon enough and I will be retired and I am the one who will let go of everything.

“.

But how?

“Should I raise a disciple?”

How about teaching me some magic and making it work for me?

But again, it’s not that easy.

“shit. I will spend all my time raising my disciples.”

It takes a lot of guidance and effort from the master for a long time before a single wizard can do his part.

So the wizards did not easily accept disciples, and because of that, the threshold was raised even higher, and they had to endure all sorts of bizarre things to become a wizard’s apprentice.

Bribery is basic, and even the chores, even things you wouldn’t be able to talk about.

Anyway, this is like increasing the load while trying to lighten the work.

Besides, if magic suddenly jumps out of a situation known as the Awakened, it will be even more chaotic in the situation where it is in the spotlight.

Unlike awakening, magic can be raised to a certain level with effort, so people who have not awakened may turn their eyes and run to me to accept me as a disciple.

“pass. This is more annoying.”

Then is there no way?

How to ease my work.

“I just need to get the basic frame and just fine-tune it for me… huh?”

At that moment, I see a computer that I was using for office work in the factory I just acquired.

“If you think about it, this is no different from a program.”

Programs that follow instructions.

And the people who write the instructions to make such a program work are called programmers.

In other words, I am a kind of necromancer programmer.

But that doesn’t mean only programmers can use computers.

It is a program that makes commands easy to use and provides them to everyone, and many people use the program to use and enjoy computers.

In other words, although they do not know the commands, they can handle and utilize the computer sufficiently.

I said with my eyes shining.

“Wait a minute… if you combine this with the Skeleton Mage well…”

*

“Whoa.”

Taking a deep breath, the man closed his eyes and muttered.

“hello. This is Sangho Baek! I’m 30 years old, and what I’m asked to do is no… no… Oh!”

Baek Sang-ho shook his head and said.

“It’s coming soon, what are you doing!”

Said the taxi driver, who glanced at Baek Sang-ho.

“Is this an interview?”

At that, Baek Sang-ho said with a bewildered expression.

“ah. Yes. haha.”

“What are you doing?”

“I am a programmer.”

“Five!”

The taxi driver said with a surprised expression.

“programmer! That’s a good job. what is it. The IT company said they wanted to bring each other.”

“ah······.”

This was one of the most common misconceptions about programmers.

Of course, it is true that big IT companies are trying to recruit programmers, but what they want are high-level programmers who are really talented and can be put into practical use right away, not the gossips they learned in a computer academy.

However, many people who do not know that they study hard because they say that they are getting a good job and pay high school fees to study, but in the end they often collapse in front of the high wall of reality.

And Baek Sang-ho was also one of those who collapsed in front of the wall.

But you can’t tell the taxi driver straight away.

“Well… they say so.”

The taxi driver burst out laughing.

“haha. My son is also studying programming, and I hope I get good results.”

At that, Baek Sang-ho said, startled.

“Are you going to school by any chance?”

“Yes. I attend a famous academy in Gangnam. what was that? A better computer? There, I attend the C course accelerated class.”

Then Baek Sang-ho spoke in a low voice.

“You’re my junior.”

“Junior?”

“Yes. I was from that academy’s C course accelerated class.”

Then the taxi driver was happy and said,

“Is that true? hey If you don’t mind, may I know which company you’re going to interview with right now? My son is also graduating soon.”

“ah······.”

At that time, I pondered for a moment how to answer.

“uh? I have arrived.”

The taxi driver, who arrived at the address given by Baek Sang-ho, read the business name outside the window and said.

“Ceron Co., Ltd.?”

It was a shabby, small, well-known sample of the company itself.

The taxi driver sensed something and said in a quiet voice.

“Do you think…?”

“···Yes.”

“really?”

Baek Sang-ho said at the taxi driver’s denial of reality.

“The salary is still high.”

Then the taxi driver, who had been silent for a while, said with an awkward smile.

“Well, then, have a good interview.”

“Yes. thank you.”

Baek Sang-ho got off the taxi like that.

At that moment, the taxi driver hears a shout from the taxi moving away.

“Hey, you bastard! You think I paid that expensive school fee for this!? Just hit it! Throw it away and just find something else!

Hearing that sound, Baek Sang-ho muttered quietly.

“The salary is really high.”

It wasn’t a lie.

When Seron announced a new employee, the starting salary was a whopping 5,000.

It wasn’t the level of starting salary that I could easily get from such a small company.

That is why Baek Sang-ho, who was desperate, came here with the last string of hope.

Baek Sang-ho said with a determined expression on his face.

“Absolutely pass! must!”

*

“Mr. Baek Sang-ho!”

Baek Sang-ho entered the interview room with a nervous face at the words he called.

“Sit.”

Baek Sang-ho, who was sitting on the chair, bowed his head and said.

“Thank you!”

Then the young man sitting in the center put his index finger to his mouth with a sullen expression and said:

“Shh.”

“ah. Yes.”

The man who had been looking through his resume for a moment looked at Baek Sang-ho and said:

“The resume is all there. Do you like games?”

game all of a sudden?

Baek Sang-ho, who shook his head furiously to decide if he was good at it, or if he wasn’t good enough.

‘Young man. Could that person be representative of Summoning Awakening, Han Ji-hyeok? After all, it’s a game…’

In fact, when it comes to games, the person who is more confident than anyone else is Baek Sang-ho.

‘okay. You are a young representative. Let’s run this.’

“I like! A lot of that too!”

“Ohh. Yes? What games do you like?”

“I love all kinds of games!”

The opponent is a young rich who is already making a lot of money.

Baek Sang-ho desperately began to appeal, thinking that he might be able to win favor with the game.

“Once you play the game, 2,000 hours is the default, so I heard a lot of stagnant noises!”

“Do you like games like that? A simulation game that you create and manage or a game you make.”

Simulation games and crafting games!

This was the field in which Baek Sang-ho was most confident.

Said Baek Sang-ho, who was excited.

“This is my favorite game! I feel most satisfied when I use my limited resources to achieve optimum efficiency! And making it is my specialty!”

Then, suddenly, Han Ji-hyuk said with his eyes shining.

“Production is special. Is there anything you can show me?”

“I have a video I took, can you show it to me?”

“Bring it.”

Baek Sang-ho said while showing a video of his masterpiece that he had uploaded to a video site as a joke.

“Originally, this game was just a game where you could freely combine parts to make a golem and fight your opponent, but I wasn’t satisfied with that, so I made an airplane and made it float in the sky.”

A masterpiece I made while listening to the sound of a dead person in Jinseong while I was living as an unemployed person.

Although they can’t beat their opponents because they’re floating in the sky, so they can only draw a draw, but the important thing for the deceased is fun and originality, not victory or defeat.

“Oh oh!”

Then, Han Ji-hyuk said with his eyes shining.

“So, originally you were making these golems with small parts, but you made an airplane out of these? Fine control and concentration. It’s good.”

“Yes! The physics engine is so sophisticated, the motor that attaches to the golem’s arm is attached to the bottom to propel it… Ah.”

Baek Sang-ho, who was excited to introduce his masterpiece, thought astonished.

‘Are you too excited? Dropping it because it looks light….’

But then, Han Ji-hyuk’s voice is heard.

“pass! Absolutely pass!”

You will be notified right away during the interview.

Baek Sang-ho said with his waist bent 90 degrees.

“thank you! thank you!”

“Come to work from tomorrow!”

*

Baek Sang-ho, who said that he had finally graduated from Baeksoo, hugged his mother in tears.

Of course, because he applied as a programmer, he thought that he would be assigned a computer, and went to work excitedly, Baek Sang-ho said, looking at something with a bewildered expression.

“what is this?”

Various buttons and levers that seem to be necessary for control are hung on a large plate with bones attached to it, and a skeleton is attached to the front of the plate.

“It’s a computer.”

“computer? Is this?”

It looks like a skeleton crumpled into a rectangular plate, is this a computer?

“Exactly, a skeleton manipulation console? Let me show you.”

Han Ji-hyeok said while handling the skeleton control console.

“ruler. look at this. Now this skeleton will make one turn to the right and then raise his left hand.”

“···Yes?”

While Baek Sang-ho was silent, Han Ji-hyuk pressed a button on the console.

Then the skeleton really turns to the right and then raises his left hand.

“Did you see it?”

“No… I’ve seen the look…”

“Can I control this skeleton with this?”

Han Ji-hyuk said with a bright smile.

“I’ll tell you how to operate it, so please implement national gymnastics with this skeleton, within a week.”
