“Um… Roman?”
“Yes, Professor? “Do you have any questions?”
“aha! Do you mean this? Let me tell you about this item, it’s called ‘Wooden Human Exoskeleton No. 3’, which I took some time to make for a professor who had difficulty moving on his own due to the anesthetic! Now, with this, even the professor can go to where his afternoon schedule is on his own!”
The professor touched his forehead as he looked at Roman, who had brought a strange bundle of wood, leaving behind a cart that had been modified to hold the solution that was still intact next to him.
Yes. This friend’s job will be [Inventor], a super unique job of which only two people exist in all 123 worlds.
GG can be played in a variety of ways due to its infinite freedom, and one of the most popular
is ‘lord-type play’. Like the fiefdom novels we commonly know, one receives a noble title, acquires fiefdom, recruits vassals, grows the fiefdom, trains troops, becomes the loser of a region, and eventually aims for the position of emperor.
The Inventor is an SSS-class internal unit whose usefulness is unrivaled in this type of territorial play.
The inventor’s utility was clearly revealed in the World 1 official clear seed. Let’s take a look at the case of World 1’s inventor unit ‘Nadial Renata’ revealed in Rabbit Princess’ play.
After hiring him and putting him in his territory, when he goes to war somewhere far away and comes back,
[Chief! Suddenly, an amazing inspiration passed through my head!]
Tiring-!
Development of the wheel in primitive tribal stages. Movement speed of all tribe members increased by 30%.
Suddenly, monsters come rushing in from the mountain behind and you have to subdue them.
[Oh my god! This is truly…a revolution!]
Tiring-!
Development of agricultural tools. Food production increased by 15%. Shortage labor fatigue reduced by 10%.
In this way, he is like Doraemon, who pulls out technological revolutions one by one if you pay attention for a moment.
Due to GG’s settings, players cannot develop inventions that exceed the world’s average technology in this way. No, you can, but the game crashes at that moment.
The cause is ‘Nomak, Seeker of Technology and Inspiration’, one of the great evils leading the destruction of the world. This is the commonly referred to devil of science.
This devil, who has the right to preempt all scientific technology in the world, absorbs all unnaturally developed technologies, that is, developed by users, and provides them to the enemy in a more improved way.
For example, something like this: If the player works hard to develop a steam engine, about three months later, the enemy develops an overbalanced weapon like a bipedal steam titan! It sticks out. Developed gunpowder? When using a matchlock gun on this side, the enemy holds an AK and forms a fire net.
In this way, GG prevents users from introducing modern technology, so the inventor class, which naturally raises the world’s technology level without user intervention, is valuable.
Now, let’s trace the footsteps of our great Roman Gachaman.
Recruitment itself is not difficult. He was ostracized by his family and the magic tower where he studied, but he was always longing for someone who understood him. If you guarantee enough research and development costs, you can quickly hire them as vassals or colleagues.
The problem is that this promising young man became absorbed in very bad academics.
‘My lord! I finally did it! ‘I did it!’
[Great invention! – Magic Particle Charging Station: A facility that recharges consumed magic stones so they can be reused. / R&D budget consumed: 480,000 shillings]
‘Ah, the existence that I am… why!’
[Magic Collecting Resonance Particle Cannon: An anti-mutation weapon whose principle of creation is unclear. / 34% chance to explode when used. Big explosion with 1.5% probability. / R&D budget consumed: 9,847,500 shillings]
‘Isn’t this really interesting?’
[Floating seat: Can be moved while carrying a weight of 4g per 1㎥. R&D budget consumed: 24,838,700 shillings]
Don’t you just get the feeling? Unlike the ‘Great Pioneer Nadial’ of World 1, Roman fell into a strange civilization called [Goblin Magic Engineering] and became corrupted. His personality is that he likes flashy things rather than practical things, so most of the inventions he creates are like that.
If you’re lucky, you’ll come up with a ridiculous invention at a low price, but if you’re unlucky, you’ll invest as much money as you can, and the result may be crap.
‘Goldman SUCKS lost two episodes that were going well because of Roman.’
In particular, that [Magic Dust Collecting Resonance Particle Cannon] is Roman’s signature invention that is almost always made when you recruit Roman. Its power is so great that it can blow away a castle wall with one blow, but if it explodes with a 34% chance, nearby management troops will be massacred. What if there is a big explosion with a 1.5% probability?
Half the city disappears.
Ranker Goldman SUCKS World 3, famous for playing the rich, 7th Mercenary King Nedvalis Gold.
Explosion along with the city.
World 3 11th Noble Alliance Head Ataman Gold. Upon returning to the territory after diplomatic consultations, he found the territory bankrupt and deep in debt.
Roman, who ordered the purchase of all Starpiece Metal available on the black market in unlimited quantities, ran away after seeing the 983kg of Starpiece Metal and the receipt that arrived the next day.
Goldman SUCKS lost about 1.2 billion shillings he spent on developing his character and territory after winning Roman Gacha coins, and his Lion’s Roar video became a legend in the community along with Roman’s reputation.
This is a hero unit that is often used for entertainment purposes rather than for serious strategy… This guy, who is not even a royal wizard, appears out of nowhere here.
‘I can roughly guess it… but you can’t see this as a coincidence, right? I guess it should be seen as one of the paths created here as the game progresses?’
Roman Gachia Manson. The fourth son of the Manson family. I heard that the Manson family, a famous magic family, made various efforts to bring their fourth son, who had fallen into strange learning, to his senses.
‘The most magical place right now is probably Count Mandalius’ mute laboratory. Since it is a place where there are many royal wizards and high-ranking wizards of up to 6 ranks each, I thought it would be a bit distracting to be in a place like this, so I invited Roman, who is not a royal wizard, to participate as a member of the family.’
Of course, if we had known that it was closer to a butcher shop than a research institute, it would have been a different story, but listening to what the wizards were saying, it seemed like the internal situation was still unknown. It is said that Charlotte visited her twice, but Count Mandalius emphasized absolute stability during treatment and did not allow her to come near her.
‘I guess it means that the authority given to Count Mandalius is stronger than expected. Charlotte isn’t that idle either, so she would have been deployed to another battlefield by now. It is difficult to expect external help.’ “
Hmm,
Professor?” “Does the ‘Wooden Human Exoskeleton No. 3’ I made fit you well?”
“Oh yeah whatever. It’s really useful to me. If this is a built-in spring that pops out at will and digs into the flesh, would it be possible to control infection without cutting off the arm or leg? For other people, well… “Is it suitable for suicide?”
“Oh oh! That’s an unexpected effect! “There is room for improvement!”
‘That’s what you call a side effect, you idiot!’
From the looks of it, they haven’t done the magic research they’re supposed to do, but they’re making something like this here too.
‘If I get a chance later, I’ll have to stop by Roman’s room. ‘I’m sure they’ve made a lot of other trash besides this.’
And I guarantee that there will be at least one object in there that explodes regardless of intent. It might be useful for escaping.
Roman tried to use something similar to that torture device, but gave up and put me on a cart and went outside.
“So are you doing that today too? “Are you doing a horsepower test or something?”
“Um no. The test is over. Surprisingly, it turned out that the professor had some aptitude for magic.”
[Magic Aptitude]. This is a trait I had forgotten about. It was almost the only useful trait I had, but I had no use for it until now. It was a room
that
I had never seen before. All that was around was a wooden table and chair with a lit candle on top. And located in the middle of a small room…..
“Well?”
“The structure is the same, but it is not intended for lifting water.”
Unstable. Even now, the mental breakdown was sounding the alarm like crazy, hitting the eyes indiscriminately on this plain room. Why isn’t there a bucket in that well? Why is Roman suddenly warming up? An empty room? Don’t you have any parchment to record your research?
Roman parked the cart I was riding in front of the door, took me out of the cart, and started tying me up with a rope.
“Um… Roman? “Could you please tell me what this is?”
“Oh, don’t worry. “That’s a good thing.”
Hmm… it’s a good thing to tie up a wounded test subject with a rope in a closed room. For some reason, only terrible thoughts come to mind.
“Wizard Isaac said it would be a good idea to help you enter the path of Mana.”
“The path of mana? “Are you talking about a wizard?”
“yes. “There is also an aptitude for magical power, so if that happens, there are endless directions in which research can progress, such as research on the effects of infectious agents on the wizard’s body and resistance to mana.”
After hearing it… it’s not a bad thing. No, it’s actually good news. The opportunity to become a wizard is not that common, and from what I heard before, it is said that infectious agents cannot easily use their power in a body filled with mana.
But what does that have to do with what is being tied up now?
Ouch!
Roman, who had tied the rope to the point where I couldn’t move, seemed to have trouble lifting me and started pulling me slowly.
“Hmph! I’m going to make a smaller cart and drag it inside. Even though it may be uncomfortable, please be patient. I’ll put it in soon. Ha ha ha ha ha!”
“Put? Where?”
“Where are you?” “Inside, of course.”
If I was not mistaken, the place where Roman’s finger was pointing was a well with flowing water.
“I understand what magic is. “It is almost impossible for a professor who still knows nothing about the world of magic to understand its profound principles, but is it possible to understand it through the senses that touch the skin right now?”
Roman seemed to have given up on carrying it and continued his explanation as he dragged me, who was tied with a rope and lying on the stone floor, toward the well.
“Humans are inherently beings who can change the world through their own will. In my head, ‘Let the rain fall!’ It has the power to make it really rain.
The reason we cannot do that is because so many human wills are intertwined in this world. Someone said, ‘I wish money would fall from the sky!’ Even if you think like this, some people say, ‘I wish people would get paid for their efforts.’ “That’s why such miracles don’t happen.”
“Hey, just release this first! “Let’s talk about it!”
“This world was created by the will of all humans in this world. Everyone believes that the sun rises in the east, so the sun rises in the east, and everyone believes that fire is hot, so fire is hot. Now here’s the problem! So how does a wizard perform a miracle amidst the providence created by the will of hundreds of millions of people?”
Slurp –
turd!
“Uh…uhh…”
The professor was already dragged right in front of the well. The cold structure made of stacked stones seemed daunting.
“The answer is to have a greater will than them through ‘understanding.’ They understand one element more clearly than anyone else, and based on that understanding, they have an ego strong enough to push others down. The strong will that emerges from a strong ego presents the magician with a unique world.
Even if other people think ‘fire is hot’, the wizard uses his own understanding to say ‘Do you guys know fire as much as I do?’ By doing this, you can remove the will of others and force your own beliefs in their place. Mana is nothing more than a catalyst for manifestation. The important thing is understanding, faith, and will! These are three things.”
Let’s go!
Roman, who was busy explaining, hung one end of the rope tying the professor on a pulley hanging above the well.
“So you’re going to throw me in there? To make water understand?!”
“Ha ha ha ha ha! “You seem to have a similar facial expression to most trainees who enter the Water World Magic Tower.”
“Water-based magic tower? then…. “Do you mean this is the method used in the Magic Tower?”
At that moment, there was some hope. Still, I hope that if it is a method used by a school with a tower, there will be some kind of safety device.
Roman looked at the professor with such distant eyes and made an expression that made him miss him.
“It reminds me of the old days. Master said. “The emotion that touches the human mind the fastest and most directly is ‘fear.’”
“Now wait a minute! wait for a sec! Roman! Wizard! This doesn’t seem to be the case. This is real! No! What should I do about infection? “If you stay outside the solution, the infectious agent will start to emit light again soon!”
“Oh, you don’t have to worry about that part. If you go inside, you will naturally feel a threat to your life, but research has shown that even if there is no trauma, if you are in that state, the infectious agent does not attack. Isn’t that a blessing? “I need to feel the sensation, so I can’t even use anesthetic.”
“Thank god damn it! What a threat to life! “How much do you keep inside?”
“Ha ha ha ha ha! The rough way of speaking is just like a novice wizard! Do not worry! I heard that this is what I learned as well? You must have faith. “Now, let me shut my mouth for a moment.”
Wow! “Ugh!”
“I’ve emphasized this repeatedly, but faith is important. Now take a deep breath!”
“….Seuuup- Huuu- Seuuup- Huuuu-”
“Good! Take a deep breath and fill your mind with anticipation of what you will see in the deep waters! trust! It takes faith enough to stand up to all the common sense of the world!”
‘You look like the leader of some kind of pseudo-religion.’
Even though the professor thought that, he blanked out his mind. Yes, it is a training method that has been used in historic schools for decades. It’s a bit unreasonable, but there won’t be any problem.
“Seueueup- eueueup- eueueup- eueueup”
“That’s it! No need to worry at all! “This training method is a safe training method with a survival rate approaching 70%!”
“Hmm?!!!”
‘What what? 70%? Then what happened to the remaining 30%!!!’
“Ugh! “Burgrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
“Have a nice trip! “You have to believe if you don’t want to die!”
“Brrrrgh! Wow! Ugh!!!!”
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
with a plop!

The professor sighed as he watched the surface of the water gradually receding in the ice-cold well water. Listen to what people say. Even though it’s a hero unit, that guy’s roots are magic. He’s famous for getting screwed if he gets involved.
The beginning of the GG wizard training, which had only been told about ghost stories about waves and waves, was the specialty of the Reed Flow school – hydraulic mana shaping training, also known as ‘drowned body training.’
