121 – Investment (2)
Soul World is a game with a variety of options.
What this means is that the branching point is divided in real time according to my choice, and the impact continues to be felt in the future.
If the Academy collapse incident that will occur in the future is the end of the episode, countless events occur within that episode.
A representative event that affects the story is Lord’s addiction. If this is not resolved, the story may become more difficult.
In addition, by steadily building up favorability with Kara, solving Tatar’s problems in the future, survival of Ellie, who disappears at any opportunity due to the level of balance collapse, etc.
A choice you easily overlook can become a huge hammer and hit you in the back, or a completely unexpected situation can arise.
“Oh, no. Was it too sudden? I should have asked for a conversation first…!”
Jane, the girl with glasses who is fluttering in front of me right now, is similar.
A character who is guaranteed to be a piece of cake, as his nickname is, Iron Man with No Money.
In other words, it means that he is now a student without any connections.
‘Was it a second year?’
He is a fairly important person, so I know the general setting. Her name is Jane Brennon, as introduced earlier.
From ‘Santia’, the country of machinery and science. His status is that of a commoner, which does not befit his intellectual appearance.
Like his nickname “Iron Man with No Money,” He is a scientist with tremendous abilities in mechanical engineering.
But, as is the case with unlucky geniuses, even her professors do not acknowledge her theory, so there will be no progress.
“Hey, can we talk for a moment? I wasn’t in a hurry so I couldn’t explain it properly, but please give me a chance!”
“Yes.”
“······Eh?”
He seemed embarrassed when I gave permission too easily.
The glasses that are falling down seem to show her foolishness.
‘It’s really surprising that a woman like this turns dark later.’
If you have to pay attention to Ellie because she died, Jane is a character that raises the level of difficulty.
Even if I reject it now, I will find an investor later, but that investor is an asshole.
She steals all of Jane’s research and makes it her own.
Normally she would have committed suicide, but Jane goes over to the devil’s side to seek her revenge.
“What are you going to explain?”
“Oh? Ah, yes! Let’s change seats first!”
Jane quickly adjusts her glasses and quickly begins to lead the way. Contrary to her appearance, she exuded a full-bodied beauty.
Her sloppy shirt gave away her poverty, but her chest was by no means poor.
There is no problem with making a living right now, but she just doesn’t have the money to make her dream come true.
“Just a moment before that. Ice cream.”
“Yes, yes?”
“I’ll buy it.”
“Yes! Have fun and come back! I’ll be waiting for you!”
Anyway, it’s really burdensome. At this rate, it seems like all eyes will be attracted.
I bought two chocolate ice creams, which I always eat at an ice cream shop. Of course, one is Jane’s.
When we returned to her place where we had met Jane after her, we were able to find her fidgeting in that short time.
It seemed like he was worried that he would be rejected. I have no intention of doing so, though.
‘But if other people hear it, it’s really worth rejecting right away.’
Jane’s personality is intuitive. This means that she is hardly good at turning around.
She can be said to be similar to Ellie, but she feels a bit more rigid than Jane.
It could be because we haven’t become friends with her yet. In fact, her personality is great in many ways.
“Here.”
“Yes!”
When I handed her ice cream, Jane accepted it with a lively response.
You might be a little shocked to see me covered in blood here and there, but I don’t seem to care at all.
After giving her her ice cream, I opened my free hand and retrieved her Ragnarok.
“Where are you going?”
“Hey, go to the bench over there…”
Jane munched on her ice cream and pointed to a place. This is a bench placed in the square.
Normally, I would go to a cafe or restaurant, but it seems like I decided to go there because that’s not my style.
“I really want to go to a cafe, but I don’t have money… So I’m sorry.”
No. I guess it was just because I didn’t have money.
They say that truly poor people don’t even have money to buy a cup of coffee, and it seems to be true.
I want to put in sincerity, but I can’t show sincerity because I don’t have money.
I felt sorry for Jane’s pitiful poverty. I wonder how he lived until now.
Rammer-
Soon, I sat down on a bench in the square and placed Ragnarok next to me. Jane seems to be struggling with what to say.
She’ll have to eat ice cream until she opens her mouth. As the weather got warmer, it tasted even more delicious.
“Yum yum yum yum.”
“··· ···”
But this woman eats ice cream like it’s a meal. She is not eating metallurgy metallurgy, but munching.
It’s so bad that even I feel trembled. It’s not like I can’t even eat these snacks.
“It’s delicious… This is the first ice cream I’ve had in a while…”
Hmm. I guess we shouldn’t talk about poverty any more.
The academy provides minimal support, but it is literally minimal; you must earn pocket money.
Didn’t Ellie and Luna go into the forest every week to earn pocket money? The problem is that it doesn’t work now.
Furthermore, Jane’s field is mechanical engineering, so she probably doesn’t know much about medicinal herbs. He must be surviving by working part-time from time to time.
“Hmm. Hmm. Can you explain now?”
“Yes.”
“Thank you. Mr. Sivar, what do you think about the machine?”
Is it starting from there? I faced Jane with my characteristic expressionless expression.
Normally, you wouldn’t think much about machines. There were machines in various places in this world.
“Oh, no. You don’t know…?”
The problem is me. Rumors about me would have already spread throughout the academy.
A wild man who has just entered civilization. That’s why Jane was momentarily embarrassed.
If I don’t say anything, it will drag on. And since it’s been a while since I entered civilization, I should answer this much.
“Something comfortable.”
“Yes?”
“Make us comfortable.”
“Ah! Yes! That’s right! That’s what machines are like!”
After explaining the machine briefly and concisely, Jane nodded enthusiastically in the affirmative.
Praises for the machine are listed one after another. mana trains blah blah, guns blah blah, etc.
Her hometown, Santia, is, as I said before, a civilization with advanced science, so explanations like that are coming out one after another.
“I love such machines and would like to develop them. What I want is to help the body that is lacking! That’s roughly what it is…!”
Jane’s explanation is simply a reinforced suit and mechanical prosthetic arm. If it’s fantasy, it’s fantasy-like over technology.
If you look at the illusions and various items shown at the special sparring hall, you may ask why that is a utopia.
However, these have a very large proportion of ‘magic’. In this world, magic is revealed through language.
AI can do many things, like drawing a picture, but engineering is just a helper.
Even though Santiago has developed science, he does not just reject magic. By harmonizing the two, extreme progress has been made.
“You may say that there is magic, but that’s not what it means. But that’s not my purpose. It’s to enable even weak people to become stronger through machines! I can show you that!”
Jane gave an explanation with an excited face, as if it was thrilling just to imagine it. Her blue eyes sparkled behind her glasses.
Because I know the future, I know she will make that dream come true. However, if someone who doesn’t know hears it, it will be nothing more than ‘bullsh*t’.
It even costs a lot of money. The reality is that the future is so uncertain that no one is investing and not even professors are supporting it.
‘Of course, if you just leave it alone, you’ll see the devil come with a cannon in his hand.’
You may know of a game where the main character uses demons in a bold manner. He is famous for clearly showing his love for chainsaws.
The invention that the blackened Jane will show later is the same as the devil that appears there. It’s scary to even imagine.
In particular, attaching a bomb to the red devil, who is nothing more than an expendable item, will cause great damage.
“Are you not interested?”
While she was lost in thought for a moment, Jane asked cautiously: He must have been intimidated by the lack of response from me.
In response to her teeth, I reassured her by shaking her head. It is a story that cannot help but be interesting.
It’s a problem because it’s too much of a leap, but Jane will prove it if you just invest.
“There is.”
“Really?”
“Yes. I’m curious.”
“Well, then invest…”
The explanation was good, but Jane’s voice quietened when the topic of investment came up.
In Soul World, the request was almost to the point of clinging to it, but this time it was a little different.
I think rolling my eyes and making eye contact is because no one else is asking me to do anything.
If you look at this, you can see that Jane’s feelings are good, not evil. The reason for turning it black later was also full of justification.
“······Excuse me, Mr. Shiva, do you know how important money is?”
“I know.”
“Then do you know that you shouldn’t carelessly give money to strangers?”
“Yes.”
“But why…”
I asked as if I was grasping at straws, but it seems like he was reluctant.
But you have to give the investment money now to be able to interact with Jane. I dug into her when she hesitated.
“How much do you need?”
“Yes?”
“Money. How much do you need?”
“Well… I have to prove the theory first, so about 10,000 silver coins…”
10,000 Silver coins is equivalent to 1 million won in won. Although it is expensive for commoners, it is affordable for nobles.
And it is also a price that proves Jane’s genius. Innovation can be achieved with just 1 million won.
Originally, we would have to sign a contract of one kind or another, but I don’t think Jane will hit us on the back. At this, I stood up.
“Let’s go.”
“Let’s go, shall we? Where…”
“Bank. I’ll give you money.”
“Really?! Well, then let’s start with the contract…!”
“Later.”
First, you have to think about giving money. I put all the remaining ice cream in my mouth and headed to the bank.
Jane also quickly got up from his seat and followed behind me. The half-worried, half-expected expression on his face is somewhat innocent and cute.
“Are you really giving this to me? I have no background or connections?”
“Yes.”
“Uh, why? May I ask where you saw the vision?”
That’s because I know what you’ll do in the future. We need to stop at least attaching machines to the devil.
The words above rose up in my throat, but fortunately my poor language skills kept them under control.
“Just.”
“Just?”
“Because it looks fun.”
I didn’t know that I would make extremely chaotic remarks. But really, I have nothing to say.
Jane looked dumbfounded after hearing my answer. He looked even more immature because of his glasses that were slightly falling down.
It’s not just empty words, the products she will invent in the future will stimulate men’s romance.
“Give me too.”
“You mean Mr. Sibar… Too?”
“Yes.”
Then Jane’s face becomes even more mysterious. Her feelings are probably complicated by now.
I left her to think about it and walked towards her bank. What I need to do now is get the money.
From noble mtl dot com
“I’m sorry, Sivar. If you don’t have a bank account, withdrawal is not possible.”
“Ah.”
I need to get my bankbook first. Rize is keeping it. How can I get it?
I told Jane to wait and went back to her dorm. All she had to do was wash her face and come back.
At that time, Rize did not pay any attention to me because she was busy training her physical strength. He could take advantage of this time and bring his bankbook.
“Brother Sivar. Where are you going with your bankbook?”
“··· ···”
“If you need to spend money, just tell me. I’ll give it to you.”
It caught right away. It was clear that he was dead, but how did he find out?
I rolled my eyes like a child caught stealing money from his parents’ wallet.
How can I convince Rize? We have to somehow pay Jane back for her investment.
“Mechanical arm.”
“Mechanical arm?”
“Yes.”
The words that finally came out of my mouth were.
“They say they’ll give it to you if you give them money.”
“······How much?”
“10,000.”
“··· ···”
It was comparable to Luna’s snout. If things continue like this, Rize will scold her like a dog.
But Rize’s reaction was quite different.
“Yes. Please go.”
“Really?”
“Yes. It’s okay.”
It was when I looked at Rize’s face to see if she was really okay.
She smiled endlessly and benevolently, still in her Kwon Seong mode, and took out her bone-laden horse.
“You should have this experience at least once.”
“··· ···”
Why does it remind me of the experience of being scammed in a certain maple game?
