Episode 22
22
For me, this is quite fortunate. It means liberation from tedious chores.
That’s not all. This one can supposedly offer consultation on various matters too.
It even has the functionality of a strong artificial intelligence, they say.
At this level, isn’t it better than a human secretary?
This is something else. That big spender really left me with quite the gift, didn’t he?
And I signed a contract under rather favorable terms at that.
Of course, there’s bound to be some ulterior motive.
That big spender—or rather, the Arcane Professor—one of the most famous rumors about him is that he desperately gathers knowledge about the Dimensional Tower.
He’s probably curious about my martial arts. Or perhaps how to make the Undead use martial arts.
But the explanation I gave before covers the entire principle.
Truth is, the reason I could make the Undead use martial arts in the first place was because of Spirit Mana Manipulation, a Necromancer technique.
Without knowledge of martial arts itself, it would be utterly useless.
Regardless, I only shared the principles.
In the end, I’ve played the Chairman for a fool.
Excellent. I’m feeling absolutely phenomenal!
“Then let’s go do some farming.”
I’d already had breakfast with Park Kangchan, and it was still early before class started.
Most of the people who attend my Dojo are working adults, so my class hours ran from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.
So it was good to turn on the broadcast and farm during the spare time.
‘Yi Museon, are you planning to visit the Dimensional Tower now for item farming?’
“Yeah, I was thinking about it. Why?”
‘I recommend that you generate your Sub-dimensional structure first before visiting the Dimensional Tower.’
Oh! Because it’s a secretary, it offers opinions too?
This is quite novel.
‘Your current Dimensional Points are recording an overwhelmingly high figure compared to typical individual Dimensional Tower climbing hunters. I judge that it would be prudent to make an initial investment with this to raise your growth rate.’
“Modern technology really is something. Even pointing out things I overlooked. Impressive.”
‘Thank you for the compliment.’
“Hmm… You’re right. Certainly, leaving DP unused would be a waste. It’s not like I’m converting it to cash anyway.”
I decided to earn money through farming, so there’s no real need to exchange it.
Just as Jegal Yuyeon said, investing in Sub-dimensions works perfectly for me. Sub-dimensional upgrades are definitely beneficial to me.
Just look at the Necron Ossuary alone.
“All right. I’ll do as you suggest. Then… let me turn on the broadcast.”
If I’m going to do it anyway, it’s better to do it with the broadcast on.
DP donations come in steadily, and I can hold various events to earn DP for different reasons.
Good. Then I should do it right away.
“I’m heading to the Dimensional Tower and back, so do some cleaning while I’m out.”
‘Yes, User.’
“And from now on, just call me Master.”
‘Yes, Master.’
After all, I am the sole successor and Master of the Ilgeuk Muwonmun—whether from my past life or now.
So it’s only fitting that my secretary addresses me as such.
With that thought, I entered the Dimensional Tower.
* * *
The moment I arrived at the entrance of the Dimensional Tower, I turned on the broadcast.
Following my will, the system begins streaming.
And in less than a minute, the chat exploded.
-Spirit Lord Sovereign is here!!!!
-Showed up this morning and here again?
-Sir, was that yesterday thing real?? You actually signed with Haneulnuri??
-You contracted with the Arcane Professor!!!!
-Was the 140 billion big spender really Kim Yuhan? fr fr?
The chaos started immediately.
Well, of course.
That big spender’s identity was exposed yesterday.
None other than the world’s foremost magnate and a member of the Platinum Ten Stars—the Arcane Professor Kim Yuhan.
Apparently, immediately after contracting with me, he released a statement.
So it was naturally revealed that this man was the ‘big spender’ who burned through 140 billion so freely.
There was no way it wouldn’t be noisy.
—So you really signed with Haneulnuri exclusively? How’d you pull off those terms?
—Zero commission and a signing bonus of 140 billion? You actually got that?
—Wait, Kim Yuhan agreed to that????
—Did the Chairman get played, or did Spirit Lord get played?
“Looks like everyone’s got questions.”
I let out a soft laugh.
“Yeah, I signed. The terms are exactly what I set. As for the details… we’ll get into it later, piece by piece.”
—Wow, he really pulled it off lmao
—Spirit Lord’s life just flipped upside down
—But what about that android next to him?
Right.
Sharp-eyed bastard in the crowd.
Looked like she’d slipped into the broadcast feed—caught in the corner of the screen.
Of course, Jegal Yuyeon’s main body was back at my real dojo, cleaning.
This unit was a secretary model, so it synced to the broadcast as a secondary window too.
—Android?? Where?
—There’s a beautiful woman floating in the corner of the screen??
—Spirit Lord has a secretary?? And she’s completely humanoid???
—That’s gotta be worth a fortune. I heard Haneulnuri tech made it—some kind of android craftsmanship.
“Oh, that? Got her as a contract gift. Her name’s Jegal Yuyeon.”
—Jegal Yuyeon lmaooo look at that naming sense
—Another martial arts reference.
—A fully humanoid android as a gift?
—That’s the Chairman’s scale for you lol
—I mean, the guy just torched 140 billion on a single question, so what’s this…
The viewers erupted again.
I pushed forward to the main event.
“All right, let’s get down to it. Today I’m going grinding. Gotta earn some money. Do a bit of leveling while I’m at it.”
—That’s pretty standard.
—Item farming’s a serious matter.
“But first I need to organize some sub-dimension structures. Got plenty of DP, so might as well start there.”
Since DP was overflowing, I needed to finish the workshops I’d put off last time.
I opened the Undead Sub-dimension management window.
[County-Rank Undead Sub-dimension]
Size: County-level area
Undead Count: 698
Production:
→ Spirit Mana 6.98
[Construction]
I tapped the construction menu and checked the other two workshops I’d put off after building just the Flesh Workshop last time.
[Bone Workshop] [Spirit Workshop]
“All right. Building both.”
Boom-boom-boom-boom!
The Undead Sub-dimension trembled, and two buildings rose up.
The Bone Workshop looked like a temple built from pure white bone stacked layer upon layer.
The Spirit Workshop was… well, it was an eerie building with formless wisps of blue mist churning endlessly through it.
—A house made of bones;;;;
—Why does the Spirit Workshop have such a creepy vibe
“Right. Let me try activating them.”
I clicked on the Bone Workshop.
Then.
[Please assign staff to the Bone Workshop.]
Just to check, I tapped the Spirit Workshop too.
[Please assign staff to the Spirit Workshop.]
“Ugh…”
A sigh escaped me.
These are the same as the Flesh Workshop.
They need sentient undead workers to actually run.
“Great. More staff drama.”
—Hahaha more employees
-Third building sitting idle ’cause there’s no staff to run it lol
-Oh man, got nerfed again.
-A billionaire with 140 billion DP can’t run the workshops ’cause he’s got no sentient undead lololol
-This is like making a profit while going bankrupt.
These guys are having a field day again.
Not that they’re wrong, though.
DP overflows, sure, but I’ve got all three workshops just sitting there doing nothing.
“Ugh. Let’s leave that as is for now. I can hunt down sentient undead later.”
Sentient undead.
Looks like I either need to level them up or find another way altogether.
It’s not urgent, so I’ll shelve it for now.
“Then let me check on something else. Oh, right. That thing existed.”
It suddenly came back to me.
The Multi-dimensional Corpse Pit.
That strange facility that summons five corpses at random each day from other dimensions.
I never got a chance to check on it after I built it.
“It’s been a few days… there’s probably quite a pile of them by now?”
I shifted the sub-dimension view toward the Multi-dimensional Corpse Pit.
The moment I did.
“…Ugh.”
I couldn’t help but wince.
There were corpses piled in the pit, all right.
The problem was.
They were all naked.
Not a stitch of clothing on them—corpses laid bare in every grotesque detail.
And every single one was in terrible shape.
What caught my eye first was one female corpse.
Except it wasn’t intact—all four limbs were severed.
And the head too.
Both arms, both legs, and the head were arranged neatly beside the torso.
Next to it was an orc corpse.
Its ribcage was laid open in a long, jagged split.
A lizardman corpse with its skull cleaved vertically down the middle.
A ratman corpse with a gaping hole punched straight through its chest.
And finally, a goblin corpse with its head completely crushed.
Five bodies in total.
Every last one of them a nightmare.
“Tsk.”
I clicked my tongue.
“Not a single intact corpse in the bunch.”
So these are drawn from other dimensions, supposedly.
Looks like it only picks the ones who died badly.
A sudden thought struck me—the nakedness was probably to prevent item drops.
Come to think of it, that made sense.
If the corpses arrived with their gear intact, wouldn’t that be absurdly overpowered?
At this rate, I can’t exactly break them down into pieces, and they’re not fit to make walking corpses out of either.
-Bleeech;;;;
-What is this in the morning ㅠㅠ
-Can you please turn the camera away from the headless woman ㅠㅠㅠ
-Is that orc’s ribcage actually real.
-This isn’t a corpse farm, it’s a corpse dump??
-Do people from other dimensions all die this violently??
Looks like the viewers were collectively nauseated.
Well.
I get it.
I’ve seen so much worse in my past life that I take it in stride, but for most people this is pretty graphic stuff.
“Apply some pixelation to the screen. There are probably people with weak stomachs watching.”
My secretary android, Jegal Yuyeon, adjusted the settings and pixelated the pit area.
Now only I can see it clearly, while the viewers see a blurred version.
As I sorted that out, I felt a small pang of regret.
The corpse in this state is basically useless for anything major.
Especially that mutilated female corpse.
With all four limbs severed, even if I prop it upright, it’s just going to roll around uselessly.
“This is ridiculous. How am I supposed to use something chopped to pieces like this?”
I was grumbling away.
Then something appeared in the chat.
[Cheokcheogsuksa has donated 1 DP!]
Just use the Corpse Processing skill, Siryeong Musjon. You can stitch dismembered corpses back together.
“Huh?”
Corpse Processing?
[Eureun ui Segyae has donated 5 DP!]
Yeah, it’s an essential Necromancer skill. You use it to stitch bones back together, or combine multiple zombies into one massive undead monstrosity. Dismembered corpses get reassembled with it.
