‘Alchemy’ ranked first in real-time search terms on various portal sites.
The sudden popularity of our store was not because of famous actors or famous magazines.
Coincidentally, it was because of the robbers who came to rob the gold and silver rooms.
humming-
I drove a car from the airport and came straight to the gold and silver room.
From noble mtl dot com
malevolent malevolent-
A lot of people gathered in front of the store.
They were newspaper reporters.
＜Covering declined＞
There was a large inscription on the front door of the store.
The golems were refusing to enter the burial to those who came for the purpose of reporting.
Because it hinders business.
“Get out!”
“Okay, I’m leaving!”
A reporter was kicked out of the store by golems.
He disguised himself as a guest, went inside, secretly filmed, and was caught.
He spat out questions to the golems even while being kicked out.
“I’ll ask just one question! Have you ever learned martial arts? Taekwondo? Jiu-Jitsu?”
There was a robbery in the gold and silver room last night.
There were 7 masked men with swords.
The robbers were quickly overpowered by the golems.
I already knew the whole situation then.
Even on the other side of the world, you can see everything in real time through the eyes of the golems.
In any case, none of the guests were injured.
And the robbers were handed over to the police, who were dispatched to the report of the golems.
It seemed like it ended so carelessly.
But that wasn’t it.
One of the guests filmed the golems subduing the robbers and posted the video on the Internet.
Then there was an uproar online.
The video went viral and attracted public attention.
The fact that the store employees faced the robbers without fear at all.
The fact that 7 strong men with knives were subdued by 3 thin women with their bare hands.
And the fact that all the female employees are celebrity-level good looks.
The combination of these elements has resulted in the explosive interest of the public.
In the meantime, the logo of the store decorated on the wall of the store was caught on video, and ＜Alchemy＞ quickly became the number one search term.
“Oh, that’s very expensive!”
The reporter who had just been kicked out of the store grumbled.
He whispered to the person he seemed to be with.
“Aren’t all the robberies ‘Suzaku’? Are you trying to promote the store?”
“Does that make sense? Indeed, the culprits were caught by the police.”
“I might have paid so much for the appearance that I could have gone to the bread once.”
“Why do you spend such a huge amount of money on your business?”
“Don’t you know that everything sold here is incredibly expensive? There are even hundreds of millions of won for one ring! Even if you sell just a few of those things, you’ll break even!”
The listener shook his head.
“Stop imagining and start reporting!”
However, the reporter ignored the words of his colleague and opened his laptop and started writing a new article.
“When everyone is only looking at the bright side, I will reveal the dark truth alone!”
The reporter opened her laptop and started writing an article.
I hid myself in invisibility and approached him to peek at the contents of the article.
It was said that Alchemy was deceiving the public by concocting a ‘fake robbery’ to promote the store.
‘This is a speculative article.’
I heard that there are many ‘giregi’ who write articles only with their own imagination without any clear basis, and one appeared in front of me.
Those who put the truth behind the scenes and only induce clicks.
This guy shouldn’t be left alone.
Even if you go somewhere else, it will cause the same inconvenience.
‘I’ll punish you for everyone!’
I saw it on the internet one day,
Most of the people who have been victimized by false articles sue the newspaper, but that is not the case.
He gets into trouble dealing with an expensive lawyer appointed by the newspaper.
That’s why you have to file a lawsuit against the individual reporter, not the newspaper company.
Then, according to the Accounting Act, the newspaper company cannot pay the cost of the lawsuit to the reporter.
The reporter has to go directly to the prosecutor’s office, get investigated, prepare for the trial, and pay the attorney’s fees himself.
In the end, the reporter is even urged by the newspaper to ask if he can’t fix it quickly, and he has no choice but to come to the victim and kneel down to pray.
Therefore, if you are harmed by the wrong article, you should only ask for corrections from the newspaper and file a defamation lawsuit against the reporter.
Of course, this method is applicable to the general public.
I just have to judge and execute myself.
‘You will be sentenced to 10 years in prison.’
I whispered softly so only he could hear.
“Follow me.”
The one caught in ＜control＞ started walking after me.
Even though I was transparent, they followed me well.
“uh?! Why am I doing this?”
As his body moved uncontrollably, his face turned blue.
I brought him to a place without CCTV and people.
hiss-
I put him in my inventory.
It will come out in the next 10 years.
Unless I forget him.
***
Two weeks have passed since the robbery.
Public interest in the golems quickly cooled like a pot.
Less than 3 days from the day of the incident, it disappeared from the search term rankings.
By the time the girls received their citations from the police, no one mentioned their work.
However, because of various things in the past, the awareness of Alchemy has increased greatly.
In addition, when an article about our shop was published in a French magazine, customers from abroad came to purchase jewelry.
But as the boss, I never became famous.
I just received a congratulatory message from Chae Su-ryun, who happened to see me in a magazine.
Recently, her insomnia has improved a lot.
It wasn’t that I used the elixir to heal them.
Every time I massaged my scalp and cast ＜sleep＞ magic, it seems to have an effect similar to ‘self-suggestion’.
Even if you don’t use magic, you can now fall asleep by massaging your scalp.
Even massaging her own head works.
Anyway, it worked out for her.
‘Should I get some fresh air?’
There were 5 golems in the store right now.
The manager and Kim Seo-yeon also went to work at the store if there was nothing special.
So there is absolutely no need for me to stay here.
“I’ll go out for a while.”
“Yes, boss! Bye!”
I walked out of the store and walked down the street like a walk.
None of the passers-by I encountered recognized me.
‘It was a waste of time.’
I was worried that there would be a plastic surgery controversy if I became famous, but it was all useless.
People didn’t become famous that easily.
Well, even people who are eager to open up can’t, but just because the store became a little famous, there was no reason for me, the owner, to become famous as well.
I don’t really want to be famous, but it’s a little steamy.
I went to each of my alumni’s houses and even changed their graduation albums.
thump-
As I was walking, I was in front of the house.
‘Shall we go fishing?’
.
.
.
I took out the gate in the basement and entered the 3rd factory.
The underground space in the Andes Mountains was the third factory.
There’s a river here, so it’s good for fishing.
In addition, there were sections where the width of the river reached several tens of meters, and large fish were also inhabited.
pudduck-
I caught a fish the size of my forearm.
I waved the fish and shouted.
“Let’s eat!”
Then the big one swam towards me and stuck its sharp snout out of the water.
squeak-
This guy wasn’t a fish.
It was ‘Bottu’, a river dolphin that lives in the Amazon River.
Commonly referred to as the pink dolphin.
swish-
When you throw a fish, he catches it and eats it.
Then he puts his head in my direction.
to be stroked
I stroked his forehead.
squeak-
The expression I like is just like a person.
There are dozens of bottu living in Factory 3, and none of them are afraid of people.
It was then.
[president!]
Telepathy came from Kim Seo-yeon.
[why?]
[There is a call looking for the boss!]
[who?]
[I am an alumni.]
.
.
.
Someone said he was an alumni of mine and left his phone number.
I called that number.
Then, an unexpected person called.
-Minhyuk, I am Lee Jongsoo. I lived next door until I was in the 1st grade of elementary school… We met a while ago in Hongcheon.
It was Lee Jong-soo, the grandson of Park’s grandmother, who lived next door.
When I heard about it, things turned out to be very interesting.
Lee Jong-soo, who ran into me in Hongcheon-eup, arrived home and looked through the yearbook.
After a few words of conversation with me, I suddenly became curious about what ‘Choi Min-hyeok’, who lived next door, looked like.
However, the album released by Lee Jong-soo was a fake that I changed.
He couldn’t help but be surprised when he saw Minhyuk Choi in the album.
It was because he looked exactly like the man I had just met in town.
-When I told you your name, wouldn’t you know who I was? Why did you pretend not to know?
“I thought you were talking about the same name as me. Because I can’t remember your face or your grandmother’s face at all.”
– Well, I didn’t recognize your face either.
“By the way, how did you find out the store’s phone number and call?”
-The female employees of your store caught robbers. I accidentally saw you in a picture.
A lot of pictures related to Alchemy have been circulating on the Internet because of the other day, and there were several with my face on them.
– I searched for them because I thought they looked a lot alike, and the owner of the store was really you!
“I see.”
-But when did you grow so tall? I think you used to be much smaller than me.
Going to Hongcheon to erase the past actually created an opportunity to connect with the past.
-I’m the president of the elementary school alumni association, but I haven’t been able to contact you since I don’t know your phone number. Can I contact you in the future when something happens?
It was annoying, but it wasn’t something I would reject outright.
“Do it.”
-Actually, I contacted you today because I had work.
If it was something like a class reunion, I had no intention of attending.
But it wasn’t that kind of thing.
-Do you remember teacher Kim Soon-ja, who was our homeroom teacher in 1st grade?
“Oh, I don’t remember. The person with permed hair and wearing only red glasses.”
I couldn’t remember the faces of my classmates, but I remembered the face of my homeroom teacher.
Because the only people I communicated with at school were the teachers.
– Teacher Kim Soon-ja passed away this morning.
.
.
.
I went to Hongcheon again to attend the funeral.
Teacher Kim Soon-ja was originally an old person.
Even after retirement, he lived in Hongcheon and passed away.
Anyway, I met a lot of alumni at the teacher’s funeral.
Hongcheon-eup is small, so my elementary school alumni ended up being middle and high school alumni.
None of my alumni would bet on my looks.
When Lee Jong-soo introduced me that I was running a jewelry store in Cheongdam-dong, everyone just congratulated me on my success.
I don’t think I need to worry about being famous in the future.
‘Let’s start exploring now.’
Now that I’ve had enough rest, I’ll start the next expedition right away.
We went straight to Incheon International Airport.
From there, he boarded a plane and arrived at the city of Ahmedabad in India.
At the bottom of the sea near Khambhat Bay lie mysterious ancient ruins predating Mesopotamian civilization by 4,000 years.
In fact, even if it wasn’t for the ruins, I really wanted to come to India once.
For some reason, it seems that India has a lot of hidden gold.
The Reserve Bank of India holds about 700 tonnes of gold, less than one-tenth of that of the United States.
However, it is difficult to even estimate how much gold the common people in India possess.
From noble mtl dot com
In India, gold is usually given as a gift for events such as weddings.
However, the size of the market was different from the exchange of stone rings in Korea.
India’s wedding season has caused international gold prices to fluctuate.
The culture of Indians liking gold is not a thing yesterday or today, so maybe you might find a huge amount of gold while exploring the ruins.
‘I’m looking forward to it.’
We got into the car and went to the coast.
Then, late at night, the ruins came into the submerged waters.
The depth of the water here is about 40m, so no diving equipment is needed.
Shuuk-
I led the golems and dived into the sea.
Then the outlines of the ancient city began to emerge.
