Cho Min-woo had occasionally heard a tale about a master who trained without eating at all, like the legendary hometown.

At the time, I thought it was crazy.

It means that no one can drink water without training.

However, as he became desperate, he was forced to gather Mana somehow, so he did not want to try this, but was forced to abolish his diet and continue his training.

They are concentrating on gathering Mana to die.

It took him weeks to gather enough Mana to feel it.

"Am I supposed to say my concentration is exceptional? Or should I say stupid? ’

I shook my head.

Of course, we can't keep doing this now.

I was quite curious about Manayang, who had been told to die for a week.

That way, you can see the Mana that has seeped into your Mana loop. It certainly worked.

‘The numbers are increasing. ’

When Jo Min-woo told him to die without eating or drinking at all, he knew that only a little Mana would gather.

To confirm, of course, he immediately remembered the Light Magic Group he knew and memorized a very simple magic in Damien Continent common language.

Light!

Flash.

Obviously, the power of the Cheson magic was extraordinary.

A sphere of light that shines like the moon in the air.

It began to shine like the sun.

Got it!

I felt like my skin was dry because I couldn't even drink water for a week.

Finally, he was convinced that his conjecture was right.

But this was temporary.

Soon, Mana, who had been absorbed into his Mana circle, began to quickly exhaust.

Srr.

It was as if the water had run out of water when it was punctured in the bank. Mana ran like a rat, looking for an exit to escape.

The sphere of light became darker and darker as the Mana that was naturally exhausted disappeared, and soon disappeared.

Identify.

“....... ”

At that moment, Cho Min-woo stared at Managu's air with a blank expression and silenced his mouth.

Mana gathered for a week of hard labor to die.

The time it took to use it was less than 30 seconds. It was too fast to burn down compared to the Mana you had when you came from Damian.

‘Hnng, this is serious. ’

The fact that he didn't know that gathering Mana was also a problem, but that it was more difficult to use it efficiently and to keep it in his body.

Suddenly, I came up with that idea.

In terms of the age in which he lives, he has to be in his 60s to know how to use chi.

‘If you're not that old, you can't get enough Mana to affect the outside. No, even if you collect diarrhea. It won't be long before it burns out. ’

* * *

In the end, Cho Min-woo experimented again and again, but he realized that it was impossible to collect Mana in everyday life on Earth or keep it even if he collected it.

In the usual way.

After briefly excluding what he wanted to do in the end, he found a comic book room nearby.

It was to relieve stress as soon as the frustration was resolved.

“Sir, did you get anything worth seeing today? ”

“Well, I don't know if there's a novel you can see. ”

“Hahaha, what did I do? Just give me something to recommend. ”

The owner of the cartoon shop didn't like it, but he just told me what he thought because he knew that once he started looking at it, he saw quite a lot of books.

“How's the wind? ”

“Full house?”

* * *

After getting the recommendation, Cho Min-woo searched the book and immediately started reading the book. Before going to fantasy, it was a novel that I had folded because it was so boring.

But now it's different.

Now that I have a lot of experience, the mood was not worse than I thought. There was something boring and frustrating about it, but it wasn't always like that.

Of course, it wasn't just this.

It was because of the word "short-term" in the book of winds.

On the other hand, it is a novel made of material that gathers chi together to make an altar.

I was strangely interested. Not because it was a non-threatening novel, but because it felt like something was caught.

And one thought came to mind.

‘But what happens if you take Mana and turn it into a circle, a condensation? Then the amount that disappears into the air can be reduced, right? ’

Of course, what Jo Min-woo has is a Mana circle, unlike a short circuit. Here it will not be a ring, but a ring.

This means that they do not absorb Mana and bind it to the Mana loop, but bind it without letting it fly away at all.

It seemed possible.

Beep beep.

Soon after I got up from my seat, I threw away the book I had seen and headed to the house of Huddak.

* * *

When Jo Min-woo got home, he repeated the experiment with a 22.2 MHz device right away.

Peek! Peek!

In the room again a temporary Mana was created.

Immediately, he focused his mind and led Mana into the body.

Unlike complicated shear breathing, Mana came in through his breath and was hooked with Mana loops.

I'm afraid there aren't that many Mana.

It was at this moment that he focused more on his mind than ever before.

You follow your Mana loop to the foggy Mana that is rotating around you.

Until now, Managa was a fog-like structure, like Saturn's ring, that revolves around the manpower of the Mana nucleus.

But things are different now. He focused his mind on the absorbed Mana and started compression attempts.

You're in five circles on the basis of Chase's magic.

Classical Damien continent magic standard was the archaic archaeologist of seven circles.

Immediately after concentrating mental strength, it became effective.

Slowly, Mana began to condense.

Got it!

It was a very, very minor shift in thinking.

I was foolish to know why I had found out this way.

He, of course, could soon find out why.

‘According to Cheson's magic, it's rooted in the ancient magic of the Damian continent. That's why the basics are the way they are. It's an obstinate stereotype in a way, and I'm just following it. ’

* * *

When Jo Min-woo found the problem at the foundation of Chase's magic, he became more focused on it.

But there was no problem here at all. It was not easy to make Mana electrons, which were created immediately.

It took me a lot of time, exactly.

It didn't take me long to know that.

knowing that it would take months to build a Mana electron.

He also knew it was difficult to learn magic, but considering his level of magic, he put his tongue to the slow progress of magic.

"Phew, this is taking longer than I thought! ’

This situation made me no longer obsessed with manana absorption. Even though he was in a hurry, it didn't look much different.

I mean, I need time.

‘Oh, I don't know anymore. ’

* * *

Jo Min-woo is in this situation. Then I had some time to relax.

After a while, he felt that he could recover his magical abilities, even though they were slow.

even after it consumes Mana, it takes time to refill.

‘Well, there's got to be a way. Why don't we build a Mana battery or something? Yeah, that's how it works. Once we've developed the Mana Compression Device, we can make artificial mannequins, right? ’

Not bad.

But I couldn't do it right now.

No, just because I'm in a corner like this doesn't mean it's going to work.

It was the biggest problem.

Is it about the money after all? ’

* * *

When Jo Min-woo initially focused on simply restoring his magical abilities, but realized that he needed money to pull the seal, he had to rely on Raincomb for one hour.

The sooner Raincomb got bigger, or at least listed in Kosdaq, the sooner we could sell the stock and get a few billion in stock right away.

‘That way you can build a Mana Generator, a Mana Storage Device. Then you can use it to create more valuable products! ’

As I was sure, I came to work a little differently than before.

Of course, Chairman Yang Duk-soon grumbled when he saw his unusual appearance at work in the early morning after a month.

“Oh, Ms. Grant, it's been a long time. ”

“Hmmm, yeah. ”

After speaking lightly, he was able to receive a brief report in the office of the President.

“Oh, is the prototype out already? ”

“Already? It's been over a month now, hasn't it? Of course it's in there. ”

“That's impressive.”

“Hahaha, that's not true. Imp100 is basically just a variable of the circuitry of an existing Pickup model. And of course, the acoustic circuitry has changed, but that's the only part. ”

When Jo Min-woo heard this far, he looked at some of the designs in front of him, then checked one thing and flashed his eyes.

‘This is it. This is the same CD player that was created in Raincomb. ’

It is true that the future of Raincomb changed because of itself, but the resulting design did not differ greatly from the future.

The first thing that caught my eye was that the LCD was as flat as a small spacecraft.

Button switches were like waves, with "Prog," "+10," "Mode," and "EQ." In the middle was a ‘Vol’ button, on top of which was a solid hand-sized LCD.

Right next to it was a stop, fast spin, back spin and a round button that can be operated at one time.

It reminded me of my past.

It was how much his brother loved this CD player.

After receiving it as a gift, I never let it go.

It was decades after Cho Min-woo, including Damian continent, but he still clearly remembered how much he liked this player.

But he also noticed a peculiar button switch that rested on the bottom of the one and tilted his head.

“What's this? ”

“Oh, it's an acoustic modulator. Because of the extra acoustic circuitry, we put in the default function. ”

“Well, you can hear the old sound, and you can hear it using the built-in capabilities of the IMP 100? ”

“Yes, we have now defined the feature as high quality sound (HQS), and according to our research team's results, it is divided by five modes. ”

“HQS?”

HQS was nothing. It was a unique voice filter feature created by Raincomb researchers who were experimenting with the circuit proposed by Jo Min-woo.

It's similar to other HIFIs.

But it was a little different from this.

Based on the method proposed by Jo Min-woo, it was either a Raincomb employee or according to the results of the test against the family.

Of course, we still have our opinions among Raincomb researchers.

They didn't know why people liked it, even though they made it.
