How a Calamity Necromancer Retires - How a Calamity Necromancer Retires chapter 131
Opening an official press conference, I pointed to the specter on the table, no, the spirit of wrath.
“This is the Spirit of Rage. And this rage spirit enters the rage helmet and makes the students rage, which is the core of the rage learning method.”
Even while I’m explaining about the spirit of anger, the spirit of anger constantly repeats cute actions such as bouncing around the table or tilting its head.
“Oh oh!”
“cute!”
okay.
that’s the reaction
“This Raging Elemental is one of my summons, and I haven’t revealed it because all I know how to do is make the target angry. I’m an Awakener, but I’m a businessman before that. But what good does it do me to anger a business partner? That’s why I thought it was useless and left it alone. Then, I came up with this idea, and what I promoted was Seron Edu.”
I looked at the reporters and said.
“People talk about hypnotism in the world and worry that it might manipulate people’s emotions freely, but this guy may be similar to hypnotism, but it’s completely different. Hypnotism can hear and release people’s emotions, but this guy can only lift them. And that, too, only with anger.”
Then a reporter raised his hand and said.
“So you can escalate your anger, but you can’t calm an angry person?”
“That is correct. In a word, I can’t manipulate people at will, as you are concerned about.”
Anger is possible.
But with this, I can’t control it at will, as people fear.
The purpose of this press conference is to imprint this on people.
“If it was really possible to control it, there would be no reason to come up with a method called anger that doesn’t look good on the outside, just hypnotize it and study hard, and that’s it.”
At that moment, the spirit of rage jumps up and stands on top of a reporter.
Then the reporter raised his hand with a dazed expression and said.
“Is this too cute?”
However, the reporter’s hand, which was about to touch the spirit of anger, passed by the spirit of anger.
“The spirit of wrath has no substance. Of course you can’t touch it. Besides, I often do unexpected things like this. This is the reason why I insisted on using the helmet as a medium and putting it in it. Come back.”
Then, the Spirit of Rage jumped again and landed on the table.
Of course, this was all staged.
“Anyway, the Spirit of Rage is a completely different entity from what you think. Of course, this can amplify the wrath of the hostile person, prompting them to act irrationally. but… … .”
I shrugged and said.
“Is there any reason I should?”
Aren’t I the strongest Awakener and conglomerate?
“Power is power, money is money, and other means and methods are overflowing, but you dare to risk being pointed at for being hypnotic? As you know, I am the person who hates being criticized the most in the world. If it was someone who didn’t care about that, he would have just sprayed skeletons indiscriminately and took all the jobs and sucked money. And leaving all that aside, if you were really that omnipotent hypnotist, what would you do with the business? If you hypnotize everything, it’s over.”
At my words, the reporters nodded and said.
“That’s right.”
“It’s quicker to just destroy it when you have time to hypnotize it.”
When I seemed to have been persuaded, I said with a smile.
“Anyway, I will continue to use this spirit of anger only as a study aid. Unlike the skeleton, there is no job encroachment.”
Now, the academies are protesting because it seems to absorb everything, but where in the world is there such a academy that focuses on memorization in the first place?
If you need to memorize it, I’ll give it as homework, and if you ask me to memorize it during regular classes at the academy, you’ll get scolded by the parents?
In a word, existing academies and Seron Edu can coexist sufficiently.
The academy focuses on understanding, and Seron Edu injects the memorized parts that have been memorized at home through anger learning methods.
In addition, Seron Edu needs a lot of instructors in the future, so from the instructors’ point of view, there are more jobs that didn’t exist.
“Of course, as always, I don’t do it if people don’t want to. If you still object after hearing my explanation, I will also consider withdrawing Seron Edu altogether.”
ruler.
I did all I could
now you know
ah.
Before that, you need to finish marketing.
I said, placing the spirit of wrath on my palm.
“Anyway, my pet, the Spirit of Rage, is by no means a bad guy, so I hope you treat him cutely. thank you.”
* * *
A press conference opened revealing the spirit of wrath.
The aftermath of this press conference was very strong.
Especially for the Spirit of Rage.
Deokbae Kim said with a satisfied expression.
“The Spirit of Rage is gaining immense popularity.”

Maybe it’s because he pretended to be cute at the press conference, and he said he wanted to see the spirit of anger in person.
“As expected, looks are important.”
As the fraudulent ghost undead molds its appearance and pretends to be cute, it quickly becomes a popular character.
“Looks are good, but they seem to be cheering more for the title of a spirit that can be seen in person.”
“Isn’t there an Awakener who can summon spirits?”
“Of course there are, but there is no chance to see them in person, since there are so few Awakened Summoners themselves.”
“but.”
“Anyway, if it’s okay for a while, I’m asking if you can let the spirit of wrath come out before using the helmet.”
“Aren’t you worried about hypnotism?”
“Since the spirit of rage did the marketing, even anger seems to be accepted cutely.”
As soon as the frame of the helmet containing the cute spirit of anger is put on it, the controversy subsides in an instant.
Was it the cute spirit that made me angry? Rather, people who are rather admirable and cute.
“It’s fun. That’s about it, okay?”
Wouldn’t it be enough if the spirit of anger pops out when you wear the helmet, checks the wearer’s face, and then returns to the helmet?
“ah. In addition, a fan club for the Spirit of Wrath is formed, and secondary creations are pouring in.”
Specter is out.
I never thought the day would come when I would be treated like this.
Anyway, it’s a secondary creation.
Does that mean there is a character?
I thought about it for a while and said.
“Vice-Chairman, let’s apply for the Rage Spirit trademark and grow it in earnest, shall we?”
“Do you want to raise it?”
“You say you don’t envy a well-made character from ten companies.”
The power of IP is truly limitless.

Mouse Land’s mouse is like that, and Japanese female cats that have been firmly dominating the girls’ stationery market for decades, as well as red hat plumber games, etc. prove it.
There are only one or two companies that create a character well and continue to make huge sales even after decades of worrying and worrying about it.
“Create an amusement facility related to the spirit of anger in Seron Land, and produce clothes and shoes printed with the spirit of anger in Seron Shoes.”
However, even the spirit of anger exists in reality and can be seen in person, so its ripple effect is bound to be even greater.
If you build awareness by characterizing the spirit of anger like that, you can make money and calm the controversy, so it kills two birds with one stone.
“Do you know? Will the Spirit of Rage become our Seron Group mascot? Let’s push it.”
* * *
The Rage Spirit play facility appears, and various goods printed with the Rage Spirit pour out.
Even if you register for Seron Edu at any time, you can see it for yourself, so the popularity of the spirit of anger soars without knowing how high it is.
As the Spirit of Rage gains popularity, the number of students at Seron Edu also increases exponentially.
Thanks to this, Hyo-Il Lim, the first instructor of Seron Edu, was called the 1st tier instructor of Rage and earned a lot of money.
Of course, there are still quite a few people who reject it, saying that it is not good educationally, but it is impossible to satisfy everyone in the first place.
Anyway, Seron Edu, which has established itself and is expanding its business in earnest.
“Now, Seron Edu will grow on its own, so you can leave it to the staff… … . What do you do now?”
I said looking at the account book.
“I have accumulated quite a bit of money.”
In addition to making huge amounts of money selling refined crude oil at Seron Oil Refinery, which has raised its refining capacity, other businesses such as long-term skeleton rental are also lively, and the bank account balance is filled to the full in an instant.
Here, Seron Edu is also in full swing, so money will accumulate more quickly in the future.
“Shall we invest a little more in rebuilding the undead army? Or a new business?”
After pondering for a while on where to use the accumulated funds, I said.
“okay. Let’s just invest in the undead army.”
You should make it in advance when you have extra money.
It’s money, because you’ll earn it again after time passes anyway.
“I need to buy and collect all the corpses of high ranking monsters.”
Since the Meat Golem is being completed step by step, I need to make a waist that connects the legionnaires and the highest rank undead.
While I was making plans like that, I said startled.
“… Now that I have free time, are you looking for something to do right away?”
I’m really completely addicted to work.
Something suddenly becomes futile.
“I have so much money, but I have no time to rest.”
When I’m in business, I’m busy doing business, and when I’m free, I’m busy making undead.
In the meantime, while rebuilding the undead legion, he has purchased villas all over the country to retire in his spare time, but there is no place he has visited so far.
“ha.”
Although he has earned enough money to far exceed his originally planned retirement fund, retirement is still far away.
I thought about my situation for a while and sighed.
“What can I do, I did it, so I have to deal with it. Okay, let’s make up our minds again and move. Anyway, this fund is used to rebuild the undead legion… … .”
But then.
“Sashimi, Chairman!”
Deokbae Kim burst into the chairman’s office with a pale expression and said,
“It’s a big deal!”
“Is it a big deal?”
I don’t even have time to rest.
“why. What, did an accident happen?”
“Coup, a coup has happened!”
There is no way that a coup d’etat broke out in Korea.
“Could it be Venezuela?”
“Oh no!”
“Or Southeast Asia?”
A coup in Southeast Asia that greatly helped the growth of Seron Shoes, which was the foundation of the business.
“Not that way! Up!”
“topside? china? russia? uh? wait for a sec.”
If above… … .
I said with a puzzled expression.
“Could it be North Korea?!”
* * *
A coup d’état by the awakened people in North Korea.
The SS-level Awakeners secretly gathered their forces, named them the Joseon Revolutionary Army, and attacked the Presidential Palace in Pyongyang.
However, the Kim family barely survived the surprise attack, and North Korea entered a civil war in earnest.
Of course, all countries around the world watched the North Korean coup with unprecedented interest.
As the economies of Russia and China were opened, North Korea was virtually the only true communist country left in the world.
A fierce civil war continued for a while.
And the result… … .
-Today, the Korean Revolutionary Army announced the establishment of a new government through an official statement… … .
It was the victory of the Joseon Revolutionary Army.
The Kim family was captured and summarily executed, and all of their aides were also purged, and the North Korean Communist Party collapsed in an instant.
“but. If you think about it, it was good to have endured until now.”
The ideology of communism is that everyone is treated equally regardless of ability.
But isn’t the present Earth full of awakened people, people with abilities that are clearly on a different level from ordinary people?
Of course, North Korea is not an idiot and gave special treatment to the awakened people, but they are not satisfied with that.
Democracy, where people live according to their abilities, is the best system for awakened people.
-… The spokesperson also said that when a formal government comes into office, normalization will be achieved through normalization of diplomatic relations and economic opening… … .
“Are you going to reform and open like China?”
Although it is changed by the Awoken, it is definitely positive.
North Korea is good because it can develop the economy, and South Korea is good because the anxiety factor of North Korea is gone.
From a business standpoint, if the communist government, which creates a variable by arguing if it is worth forgetting, disappears, it is good because uncertainty is removed.
“It will be possible to purchase energy in North Korea later and buy it cheaply.”
While I am thinking about changing the regime in North Korea, I receive a phone call from Commissioner Lee Jin-young.
“oh! Commissioner.”
The contact of Director Lee Jin-young of the management agency, which serves as a link between me and the government.
– How are you, Chairman?
“I was fine. Are you busy? Because of North Korea.”
– Even if it wasn’t, I contacted you because of that. Could you please give me some time?
hmm?
You said you contacted me because of North Korea?
“uh… It’s possible, but why are you doing that?”
-I have to ask you a favor, but it’s a bit difficult to do it over the phone. If you give me time, I will go to the president’s side.
please… … . Can’t guess what?
Let’s meet up and talk.
“All right. It’s about time. Come now.”
* * *
“In fact, even before it was announced to the press, our government and the Korean Revolutionary Army had been in close discussion.”
“is it so?”
“yes. What the Revolutionary Army wants is reform and opening like China. I plan to give up nuclear weapons for that.”
“Oh oh! Abandon nuclear weapons. Well, it is reasonable because the US will lift sanctions only when that is the premise.”
“you’re right. In return, the Revolutionary Army wants to lift all sanctions against North Korea, provide loans for national development, and attract foreign capital through foreign companies entering North Korea.”
It is exactly the same as China’s economic development repertoire.
After borrowing money from other countries to expand infrastructure, attract foreign companies with cheap labor costs and labor as bait, and develop the economy with it.
“Isn’t it all settled then? The entire Kim family has already been purged, and the United States and North Korea agree, so all we have to do is proceed.”
“yes. There is no problem at the government level because the opinions are the same and South Korea, North Korea and the United States are all active. The problem is time. Obviously North Korean labor is very cheap. Even including all taxes per worker, it is less than 130 dollars, or 200,000 Korean won. Maybe if you have enough time, you can attract companies and make results. But then it is too late.”
Lee Jin-young said with a firm expression.
“The Kim family has been purged because of the long period of dictatorship, but their remnants remain everywhere, and since it is a revolutionary government centered on awakened people, the reaction of North Koreans is ambiguous.”
In short, the coup was successful, but I am still anxious, right?
“That’s why what we need now is tangible and tangible results. Only when the economic performance of the revolutionary government rises is the support of the North Korean people, the current regime will run more stably, and at the same time, the more North Korea becomes economically dependent on South Korea, the greater South Korea’s influence in North Korea will be.”
“Then, shouldn’t companies just let them advance?”
“… It’s not as easy as you might think. Right now, the business that can revitalize the local economy by using a large amount of North Korea’s cheap labor is light industry, such as textiles, which does not require great skills, but the light industry in South Korea has long been disorganized.”
“uh?”
wait for a sec.
light industry?
“In addition, the amount of orders automatically increased by setting up a factory in North Korea and recruiting additional employees, doesn’t it? Of course, the amount of existing orders must be shared with the North Korean factory that will be newly established. Of course, any business other than light industry cannot speed up the entry into North Korea. but… … .”
Lee Jinyoung looked at me and said.
“Seron is different. It has grown based on the light industry and has already established itself as the world’s largest manufacturer… … .”
“Wait, wait.”
I said, interrupting Lee Jinyoung.
“Now listen to me to see if I got it right. So, are you saying we need a labor-intensive project that will provide jobs to North Korean workers on a large scale? And is the only one doing business of that scale in Korea right now?”
“you’re right.”
I said with a puzzled expression.
“Then, are you saying that I should hire a North Korean worker to sell the shoes to North Korea? Instead of a skeleton?”
Lee Jinyoung looked at me and said.
“… you’re right.”
“Why me? No matter how cheap North Korean labor is, it is nothing compared to skeletons. Besides, to replace the amount of work that skeletons have been doing 24 hours a day without weekends with human employees, several times as many people are needed, so why should I take care of that many people… ah.”
Now I understand why Jinyoung Lee had to come to me.
“… Share the work that one skeleton will do with the North Korean workers and supply it?”
Skeletons work 24 hours a day without weekends.
Replacing this with someone who works 8 hours a day would require roughly five times as many people to maintain the same output.
Currently, the number of skeletons that Seron Shoes uses is a whopping 40,000.
So, arithmetically, replacing this skeleton with a human employee meant that as many as 200,000 jobs would pop up.
Besides, unlike regular employees, skeletons are free from layoffs, so if I want to, I can move the factory at any time and assign new employees to work.
In other words, from the standpoint of the Korean government, which needs tangible results for the stability of the revolutionary government, there is no company in the world that can produce effects as quickly and on a large scale as Seron Shoes.
Lee Jin-young said with a desperate expression.
“This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to establish a friendly government in North Korea, South Korea’s Achilles’ heel, to be connected to the continent by land, and to achieve denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. I don’t even want everything. Even just 10,000, please.”
“Please divide the job of 10,000 skeletons among 50,000 North Korean workers?”
“yes.”
“Instead of that, I’m going to lose labor costs and various incidental expenses?”
“… We plan to provide various loans and tax reduction benefits.”
“Do you think I need something like that?”
Jinyoung Lee lowered his head and said.
“I have no face. However, I have no one to ask for except the Chairman. The only thing that can create the most large-scale employment and see the effect in a short period of time is the Seron. Please help me once for the future of Korea.”
