Solo Swordmaster - Chapter 675
#675. As expected.
* * *
Las Vegas.
A city that was once ruined by the raid of the liberation brigade.
Of course that is a thing of the past.
Of course I spent money like water.
Las Vegas, which was in ruins, was already restored to its original state thanks to the Golden Dragon clan, who even used telekinesis to help restore it.
…at least the building.
“No, damn it!”
A popular restaurant in Las Vegas.
No, that’s why Oliver, the owner of [Big & Cheese & Burger], a famous restaurant, spat out abusive language.
“Hey boy! If you got paid, you should do the delivery properly. No delivery.”
“Reservation delayed or not! Please send me my cooker right now.”
“what? reward money? Do you think I’m doing this for money? ok?!”
“Enough of the small talk, at least send it to me within this month! Otherwise, you guys know I won’t let you go! I’m going to sue!”
bang!
After putting down the smartphone as if tossing it.
Oliver huffed out to himself for a while.
“These damn bastards decided to ruin other people’s stores! What about our burgers without that cooker!”
Didn’t the master not care about tools?
In Oliver’s opinion, that was complete bullshit.
Even the one who prides himself on being the best cheeseburger in Las Vegas.
No, because he was like that, he needed a state-of-the-art cooker to make the best burger.
And Oliver would buy any cooker, no matter how expensive, to protect his honor, his restaurant, and his burger.
One problem.
That cooker was made by Bahamut.
And if it was like before
It was no problem at all.
It goes without saying that the products of Bahamut, a conglomerate that boasts the best technology in mankind, are the best.
Although the price was a bit expensive, since it was headquartered in the world’s factory, the Russian Khanate, it was possible to receive anything quickly if you ordered it.
…until the Revolution.
The escape of key officials.
The revolutionary army’s fist-pumping style of state affairs.
Russian troops fleeing and war, etc.
The production system of the Russian Khanate, which had been ruined due to all sorts of problems, was literally destroyed by the descent of the Demon God.
Yekathrice restored the production system with her unique genius ability, but that’s all.
I couldn’t help the aftereffects of production stopping.
Thanks to this, Russian-made goods, especially Bahamut-made goods, were extremely scarce.
To the extent that the cooker I ordered a few months ago is still not delivered.
“FU■K! I’m still pissed off about vegan burgers and whatnot…!”
Oliver gnashed his teeth.
Is it the influence of the recently released nectar?
These days, vegan burgers advertised as adding 100 years to life even if you eat healthy were popular in the United States.
Even Oliver, who at first just laughed at him, is now hard to ignore.
But what if the cooker is delayed even further than this, so the opening of the business is delayed and all the customers leave?
So on to that grass-fed burger.
What if your burger is pushed?
Just imagining it made my eyes roll.
“Would you just order the EK product…?”
EK’s products, which contain the power of spirits that have been with us since the beginning of human civilization, have performance that surpasses even those made in Russia. If he, the best burger maker in Las Vegas, uses an EK cooker
, he will be able to make the best burger in
the United States… no, the world’s best.
The problem is the outrageous price.
If Russian products are billions of dollars expensive, then EK products cost hundreds of billions of dollars and then run out of breath.
I didn’t know if I would be able to pay the price by mortgaging my house and store and selling only burgers for the rest of my life.
However, it is not possible to make a messy burger with a cheap cooker.
Are you selling your life for a burger?
Do you buy and sell burgers?
Oliver is agonizing over the choice between the two hells.
His smartphone rang.
Ding-dong.
“What is this? Advertisement for a new product launch?”
Did you get a text saying that the shipment has been speeded up?
Oliver looked at his smartphone with anticipation, checked the ad and tried to close the screen with an annoyed expression.
But before that.
he hesitated. This is because
before turning off the screen,
several unique contents caught his attention.
“A state-of-the-art cooker with the new technology of the Creator?”
Made in LW.
In other words, under the name of the League of World.
Oliver swallowed dry saliva without realizing it when he saw the bottom part of the advertisement with a whopping 90% discount.
“If there is no unconventional performance that surpasses the Russian product, I will compensate you twice the purchase price?!?!”
* * *
LW products.
World Federation To be precise, the Demiurge Guild’s new product wasn’t just a cooker.
From refrigerators to TVs, sofas, smartphones, and cars.
It literally launched all kinds of new products at the same time and spread advertisements all over the world.
The public was agitated by that fact.
Among the seven major guilds, the Demiurge Guild, which has all kinds of production players with the Creator Lord at its peak, is the world’s best production guild.
That’s because they launched a new product in a big way.
It was natural to be interested.
“Such an outrageous advertisement…”
“I guess the Demiurge Guild or the World Federation must have been very determined?”
“It deserves it. Like the peacekeepers in the past, the potion business, and the Seven Dragon Group, I can’t get enough of it.”
“Is it better than the real Russian one?”
“I can’t believe I have Bahamut’s technology.”
“Still, since you have the reputation of the Creator Lord, wouldn’t it be about the same?”
“Well, that sounds like hype to me. What kind of madman would demand compensation from the 7 guilds just because their performance is a bit low?”
The Creator Lord is undoubtedly the best production player in the present era, and the items he creates are treasures that everyone wants to own.
but he is one
New products produced easily exceed millions.
It was clear that there would be limits to performance unless the Creator had made all of those products himself.
So people thought.
This is a handshake made at the end of the predicament by the World Federation, which was pushed back in the recent competition with the Seven Dragons.
No matter how good the LW product is.
I wouldn’t say it’s only Russian.
Of course, that did not mean that LW products were ignored.
“Shall we buy one anyway?”
“First of all, the price is much cheaper than Russian products.”
“It’s hard to find a Russian product these days, but it came out with the name of the Creator Lord, so it’s better than halfway small and medium-sized products.”
“Who knows? If you do well, I will give you a real reward.”
out of curiosity.
Consider a thin wallet.
With the heart of a chicken instead of a pheasant.
Or in the mood to gamble.
People bought LW’s products for different reasons.
The influence of the World Federation, the reputation of the creator of the distribution network, and even advertising that cost a lot of money.
Is it because everything is intertwined?
Even though it was just launched, LW’s products sold quite a bit, and people judged that the World Federation’s business was quite successful.
…until you actually try the product.
“what is this?!”
“What crazy performance…!”
Washing machine done in 10 minutes.
Cooker with 3000 recipes.
The perfect self-driving car.
A bed where the mat doesn’t turn off.
Apart from that, shoes, clothing and even games.
Everyone was amazed at the terrifying performance of the LW product, which was purchased without much expectation.
“Are these really better than Russian ones?”
“No, it’s not made in Russia, but it’s almost comparable to EK’s, isn’t it?”
“How can you sell a product like this at this price? No, aside from the price, did the Demiurge Guild have this level of technology?”
in astonishment and admiration.
People realized all over again.
That the World Federation’s advertisement was not exaggerated.
Among the monarchs who rule this era, he is the one who has reached the level of absolute with only production skills.
It is also true that there was a good reason for the creative lord to advertise LW products with his own name.
And…
…the storm began.
“Are you wearing LW products?”
“Take my money, take my money!”
“Wouldn’t you let go of your hand over there? This is what I picked first!”
It’s already a riot.
no it was madness
People who are blinded by the much better performance while being much cheaper than Russian products are enthusiastic about LW products.
The world was covered with the LW brand at a frightening speed.
* * *
Everything in the world has an action and a reaction.
As long as LW products sell like hot cakes, there were places where the atmosphere became heavy.
the most serious of them.
No, the silver-haired girl, as always, said with a single smile.
“Yeah, this is too much.”
“…Crazy Princess, you’re saying you don’t have a solution either.”
“If you’re asking if there’s no way to technically duplicate this, grind me into a grinder and you won’t get an answer?”
Gulag.
in the lodgings of that district.
While looking at the analysis data of various LW products sent from Bahamut headquarters, Yekathrice shrugged.
As the greatest genius of the Seven Dragons.
Analyzing the products of Fairy Kingdom.
By duplicating some of the spirit’s power.
It was a weak voice unlike her who is said to have accelerated the technological development of the world by 100 years.
However, there was a reason why Yekathrice had no choice but to raise the white flag.
“Because it’s not made of ‘technology’.”
“…Confirmation. I would like to know if that means that all of those products are made with skill.”
“well? I don’t even know how to manufacture it, but it’s certain that it’s impossible to achieve this spec from a structure like this even with the spirit’s technology.”
“I guess so.”
Even the spirit’s power skills.
It is difficult to understand the principle, but
research is possible, and once the structure is analyzed, it is even possible to replicate and mass-produce.
However, LW’s products completely go beyond such common sense, to the point of doubting whether the principle even exists.
After nodding at Yekathrice, who speaks as a researcher and technician.
Lynn turned her head.
“How does the old woman look?”
[Baby, do you think I can be an all-knowing almighty answer?]
“Because it is common sense to ask a witch or a god with a knife at the neck of a witch or god when it comes to nonsensical things.”
[Don’t say scary things.]
A witch with dark red hair and a voluptuous body answered from the other side of the communicator.
Sir sighed lightly.
She was even called the Demon King in the past, but she was still living a leisurely life after being sealed in the Great Barrier in London and released.
After becoming Rin’s slave, he was busy without blinking his eyes.
But what can I do?
It was he who decided to sell himself as a slave in order to escape his appointed death.
Anyway, thank you for not being bored.
Sir, thinking positively, continued with a languid voice.
[No matter how much I know, I can’t know everything. There was not enough time to analyze it.]
Unlike the Seven Dragons, which are full of manpower, she is alone.
It was not easy even for the legendary Great Witch to investigate the products that were released only a few days ago and understand the principles.
But age doesn’t go anywhere.
As the best archwitch of the Silver Age who has lived a long time, Shire did not disappoint her master.
[There is something to guess instead.]
“Something to guess?”
[I still need to do some more research, but these objects have a structure that’s a bit similar to what a baby I know has been researching.]
“Who is that baby?”
[You know, baby. I’m not good at magic tricks, but I’m pretty good at imitating wizards
.
Lynn raised her eyebrows.
Because there was only one human being that the legendary archwitch could so highly value.
“No way that baby is…”
[As you guessed.]
With a meaningful smile, Shire changed Rin’s guess to certainty.
[This is probably Arcanepunk.]
It’s not magic.
Even if it’s not technical.
That’s why it’s magic and technology.
The name of the absolute ruler of the Age of Iron, who devoted his life to breaking the London Great Barrier, one of the strongest magics of the Age of Silver.
she said languidly.
[This is the essence of the technology that the magic lord Karl studied until right before he died.]
