after-
I let out a short breath.
Clearly Alan was no ordinary person.
‘Are you the same soul as me?’
Unlike me, Alan was a very intellectually curious person.
The reason I even asked God to see the life of ‘Choi Min-hyeok’ was not because I was curious about my previous life, but purely out of curiosity about the civilization of another world.
He observed the civilizations of Earth through my memories and invented several things based on them.
They even made ‘coffee’ that didn’t exist in that world.
It is because of my poor knowledge that I am not very knowledgeable about coffee.
It’s like a person who has never seen a car before looking at a toy car that kids play with and creating a supercar.
And a greater invention than coffee was the golem (magical doll).
In Alan’s world, there were as many alchemists as there were stars in the sky.
The ultimate goal of alchemy was to prove the alchemist’s worth by transforming common metals such as iron and lead into gold.
Numerous alchemists took a multifaceted approach to making gold, resulting in a revival of magic and learning.
His obsession with gold developed all the technologies in the world.
Golem crafting was no exception.
In addition to the crude ‘Giant Golem’ used in warfare, various advanced golems began to be produced.
Some of them looked just like humans.
‘Humanoid golems’ served as alchemists or were sold to nobles at high prices and used as toys.
Among them, the one that received the most praise was the golem created by Alan.
Alan’s golem looked like a human in terms of appearance and body temperature, to the point where it was indistinguishable from a real human by ordinary means. You can also get energy by eating and digesting food, or you can use an elixir as an energy source. However, it was not a clone made by culturing human tissue. It was 100% artificial, made using only alchemy from one to ten.
However, no matter how good Alan’s golem was, it couldn’t be helped that its intelligence was low.
A golem without a ‘soul’ could only perform simple tasks without being able to speak the language and lack of understanding.
In the meantime, Alan learned about Earth’s ‘deep learning AI’ through memories of his previous life.
‘Because I was interested in that one too.’
As a programmer by name, I had some common sense related to AI, although not as much as an expert.
Based on it, Alan developed a tremendous artificial intelligence that would slap ‘AlphaGo’.
And by installing that artificial intelligence into his golem, he created a golem that is on a different level than before.
A perfect humanoid that is indistinguishable from humans.
Once completed, the uses will be endless.
My own slave who obeys my words 100%!
From housekeeping to various errands, I can order anything I want!
hehehehe-

So let’s make a golem quickly.
The golem crafting recipe was divided into 10 leaves.
The amount of knowledge was so vast that it could not be contained in a single leaf.
It was difficult to know which of the 100 leaves contained the recipe for the golem, so I had to take a good picture this time.
‘I really can’t take pictures.’
I picked a leaf and put my hand on it.
pat-
A knowledge entered my mind as the leaves emitted light.
But it wasn’t a golem recipe.
‘Then it is.’
Also I can’t take pictures.
Still, I learned some pretty useful magic.
The newly learned magic was ＜Repair＞.
It was a magic that could fix any mechanical device using an elixir, even if you didn’t know the principles of the machine.

When I woke up in the morning, the wind was blowing in through the cracks in the window.
I stretched and got out of bed.
Charlere-
When I pulled back the curtains, I could see the Han River.
The cars running on the bridge in the distance looked cute like miniatures.
‘The weather is nice!’
The sky was blue today and the visibility was good.
There was no fine dust for the first time in a while, so I felt better.
In addition, for the time being, there was no worry of gold falling, which was especially good.
‘What should I do today?’
thiririri-
The room phone rang.
“hello?”
-Hello, customer! Registered mail has arrived.
I went down to the lobby and received the registered mail.
I did something, but the bank sent me a credit card.
It’s been a while since I applied, but it’s already arrived.
I think they sent it quickly to spend a lot of money.
I grinned as I held my black credit card in my hand.
‘Shall we go shopping in style?’
.
.
.
First, I decided to buy a car.
Before buying a car, I had to get my driver’s license reissued.
I also need to change the picture on my driver’s license.
I was at the driver’s license test center.
You can apply online or at the police station, but then you will have to wait about two weeks to receive it.
I came here because it was possible to issue it on the same day.
Ding Dong-
My number appeared on the billboard.
I walked to the window and submitted the application.
And in 20 minutes, a new driver’s license came out.
‘Oh, it’s fast!’
I grabbed my new driver’s license and headed straight to the car dealership.
A foreign car dealer in a neat suit greeted me.
“Welcome, customers! What type of car did you come to see?”
He paused for a moment and turned his head to look around the store.
Sports cars, sedans, SUVs… various types of vehicles were showing off.
I told the dealer.
“I’m thinking of buying one for each car type.”
Then the dealer bent his back even deeper.
“I respect you, customer!”
.
.
.
I test drove this and that and bought 3 units, one for each model.
However, the release dates were all different.
Sports cars and sedans are out of stock in Korea, so you have to wait for more than half a year to receive a car.
Fortunately, the SUV was able to be handed over within a few days because the stock that had just completed customs clearance was in the Pyeongtaek warehouse.
“All three cars cost 653 million won. Are you going to pay in installments?”
“No, please pay in lump sum.”
I handed the new credit card to the dealer.
Even when I bought groceries at the mart, I paid in installments when it exceeded 50,000 won, but now I was paying for three foreign cars as a lump sum.
‘Not having money was a sin.’
Chiririk- Chiriririk-
It wasn’t until I saw the receipt printed out from the card terminal that I realized how huge my credit card limit was.
“I will call you as soon as the car arrives!”
I left the store while being greeted 90 degrees by the dealer.
.
.
.
There is still plenty of time left for lunch.
So, I went to a nearby property.
“welcome!”
“Did you come to see the house?”
The real estate manager took a quick look at me and opened his mouth.
“How are you? Or a short-term lease?”
“no. I want to buy it.”
“is it so? Do you think the young man has a lot of money? Seeing that you are trying to buy a house in this neighborhood.”
The real estate manager’s eyes changed dramatically.
“What type of house do you want?”
“How much does a detached house in this neighborhood cost?”
An apartment with a view of the Han River is not bad, but I wanted to buy a detached house with a lawn.
The high-end housing complex here was on a different level from the suburban housing complex where I lived before.
The houses were luxurious, the roads were clean, and the surrounding infrastructure was good.
“Some are extremely expensive, but you can think of them as around 10 billion on average.”
With about 10 billion won, the money in the account was enough to purchase it.
“That’s enough to live with right now.”
“Oh, the young man doesn’t have the usual wealth. And you are lucky. Originally, this neighborhood doesn’t sell well, but there was one that came up a little while ago. Would you like to go see it now?”
.
.
.
Following the real estate owner, we arrived at a detached house not far from the main road.
Transportation was good and the house was very pretty.
Besides, it was empty, so I was able to move in right away.
“This is Chairman Chung, the owner of the house.”
The real estate manager introduced me to the landlord.
It was a grandfather with frost on his head.
I want the real estate boss to tell me that he owns dozens of houses and commercial buildings in the area, so he is a person who listens to the chairman’s voice to the people in the neighborhood.
With a commercial building in the vicinity approaching 100 billion won, he was a real estate conglomerate beyond Albuza.
The grandfather looked at the real estate manager and opened his mouth.
“You have to buy well when you buy a house, but you also have to sell well when you sell.”
“Is there any way, Chairman?”
“You cannot sell your house to just anyone. I need to find a good owner. If I sell it to anyone, the house may resent me. Then you will be out of luck.”
It was a very unique real estate philosophy.
He meant that he would sell the house looking after people rather than selling it to anyone just because he had money.
Grandpa looked at me and asked.
“But what are you doing?”
In this situation, what did you do to answer that you are unemployed?
Then, involuntarily, the word came out.
“I am running a gold and silver room.”
“A gold and silver room?”
Grandpa stood up without saying a word.
Are you saying I’m not qualified?
Then he went to his car and got something.
It was a wooden box the size of a ramen box.
The real estate manager asked him.
“What is it?”
Grandpa opened the box instead of answering.
There were tools inside.
It was a tool used to repair precision devices such as magnifying glasses, files, screwdrivers, and watches.
Then he took a watch out of his pocket and held it out to me.
It was an old-looking pocket watch.
“If you do gold and silver, you will be able to fix your watch. Can you look at this?”
Suddenly asking me to fix my watch?
The real estate president blushed at the grandfather’s erratic behavior instead.
“Oh, Chairman, you can’t fix a watch just by doing gold and silver.”
“okay? Did I just waste my time?”
Grandpa was about to close the box again, but I opened my mouth.
“Let me take a look. I can’t guarantee that it will be fixed.”
.
.
.
Saying I needed to concentrate, I made my grandfather and real estate agent wait in the living room and entered the empty room by myself.
And I held the watch in my hand and concentrated my mind.
The newly learned magic ＜Repair＞ was activated and a little elixir flowed into the pocket watch.
OK,
Tick tock-
The clock hands began to move.
‘okay!’
And I deliberately dragged the time inside the room.
It’s weird if you fix it too quickly.
About 30 minutes later, I went into the living room and handed the watch to my grandfather.
Tick tock-
The eyes of the old man trembled at the sight of the moving hands.
he shouted at the real estate agent.
“What are you doing? Hurry up and bring the sales contract!”
So I was able to purchase the detached house I liked.
***
A guest came to the house of Chairman Chung, who lives alone.
It was his granddaughter who was attending university.
She looked at the pocket watch on the sofa table and opened her mouth.
“Grandpa, did you fix this watch? how? I sent this to Switzerland before, but I couldn’t fix it.”
The pocket watch was a keepsake left by Chairman Chung’s paternal grandfather.
Chairman Chung is a descendant of independence activists, and his ancestors were wealthy people in Seoul who raised funds for the independence movement away from the eyes of the Japanese.
Chairman Chung tried to save his grandfather’s Swiss-made watch by any means.
However, it was difficult to find craftsmen who could repair a watch that was more than 100 years old.
So I sent it to a manufacturer in Switzerland, but they couldn’t restore it either.
It was so frustrating that he even bought a watch tool, saying he would fix it himself.
However, it was difficult to disassemble, let alone repair.
But today, I entrusted the watch to an unusual-looking young man just in case, and he really fixed it.
He introduced himself as the owner of the gold and silver room…
In fact, he was a young master who hid great skills.
‘And then lose your humility? Goyan bastard!’
The old man said to his granddaughter.
“I sold my house in Cheongdam-dong.”
“Really? You said you wouldn’t sell that house to anyone. who did you sell it to? lawyer? doctor? professor?”
The old man smiled and replied to his granddaughter.
“The owner of the gold and silver room.”
