Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 13
by Jessie@AFNCC
Two days after successfully solving the problem that came from the Crimegal mercenary office.
Dray collected the blood from the man’s body and gave it to Lennok through Jenny.
Jenny who handed over the Styrofoam box looked offended by the fishy smell of blood but Lennok was not fooled by the clumsy acting and calmly accepted the box.
It’s ridiculous that a woman with enough courage to open a bar in the middle of District 49 would be offended by the smell of blood.
I had to buy another small refrigerator to store the blood separately but it wasn’t a big expense.
We may not be able to find out anything right now by analyzing the blood mixed with dark magic but later after we become more magically mature we may be able to find out the principle of that strange doping ability.
“I heard that the consulting company that moved into that building has moved to another location.”
Lennok was drinking the drink Jordon gave him and quietly listening to Jenny’s story about the incident.
At some point the two stopped charging Lennok for drinks. This was possible because the commission he had brought in so far was well over 10 million cells.
“In a way it was natural. No matter how much you want to save on rent and taxes there is a limit. It would be rare for someone to survive something like that once.”
Ta-ta-tang!!
Her words are unconvincing considering that her expression does not change despite the faint sound of gunshots outside the bar.
As this was not the first time something like this had happened in Area 49 all three people drank quietly without even thinking about moving.
It was a day with nothing special except that a customer who complained that the noise was bothersome left the place and came back covered in blood.
“How did you feel about working with the Krimgal office this time?”
Lennok answered Jenny’s question indifferently.
“There was nothing special. Compared to my experience with Kroken it was incomparably better. “I did deal with a scavenger executive but… it wasn’t that difficult.”
“Did I say I was a retired soldier? “If you were an executive at Area 51 you would know that level.”
She was giggling and muttering as she put a long stick in her mouth.
“But not all scavengers are weak or sloppy. “I’ll tell you in advance there are quite a few people who we worked with a few times got involved and ended up hooking up when we let our guard down.”
“Are you saying that the core leaders are different?”
“There is quite a bit of variation not only among executives but also among branch leaders. If you end up getting involved with the Scavenger branch leaders of the 20th District you better be careful. “There is a good reason why such a large organization can be created by collecting all kinds of trash.”
Lennok did not reply but he tried to remember her words.
The scavengers she had experienced so far were nothing more or less than simple gangsters or robbers but if she said so it was reasonable to assume that she had more power than meets the eye.
She exhaled smoke and grinned at Lennok who had a sour expression on his face.
“Do you know that this matter is pretty well known around here? “It’s been a while since the scavengers tried something like this so everyone was interested.”

“so?”
“Slowly the number of customers looking for the wizard who brings down lightning from the sky is increasing. “This is very exciting for freelancers like us.”
“hmm….”
That’s definitely a good thing. Rather than sending it to just anyone requests that specifically designate you will be treated better and the pay will be more generous.
“So I also went through a bit of trouble for our wizard.”
Jenny said that and took a paper file from behind the bar and handed it to Lennok.
“For the past week I have collected only the requests that have come in through my designation. “Take it read it and choose the one you like.”
“Is this enough just to request a nomination?”
It seemed like the thickness of the paper I could hold in my hand could easily exceed a dozen sheets.
“This is proof that there are many people who are thirsty for a skilled wizard. Honestly I’m surprised too. “Not many of my clients receive this much nomination request.”
Jenny said glaring at Lennok with greedy eyes.
“So let’s work together well in the future. “I’ll take a small fee as well.”
“Haha.”
Lennok smiled dryly but did not reply and Jenny did not say anything more.
He stood up holding a file nodded and said as if he remembered her.
“Oh and those requests. Since the deadlines all overlap if I choose one I will reject all other requests. If you answer quickly the clients will be able to save others as well. “You need to be a little more considerate about that.”
“I get it.”
Lennok returned home immediately threw the file and the box containing the blood in the corner of the room and headed to the bathroom.
I spit up all the alcohol I drank at Jenny’s bar. After realizing that I could relieve the side effects of smoking the drug by doing this I tried it often.
It was inevitable that his stomach would turn but from Lennok’s perspective lying in bed sick all day was actually more damaging.
After flushing the water and washing my face I stood in front of the kitchen.
Cut and grill the pre-thawed meat simply wash the vegetables and fry them with sauce purchased from the supermarket.
Chi-ik!
Take out yesterday’s leftover rice from the rice cooker and serve it with simple side dishes.
The important thing is not to eat a lot but to try to consume a variety of nutrients.
Slowly and consciously chew the contents in your mouth finely to digest them and send them down to your stomach.
This damn weak body’s natural digestive power was extremely poor so whenever he ingested something Lennok always had to put a lot of effort into it.
After the meal I briefly wash the dishes and do some stretching.
It was important to take care of myself before I developed the bad habit of washing dishes to eat.
After steadily taking the vitamin supplements that arrived two weeks after ordering Lenok finally took a breather and sat down in a corner of the living room with his back straight.
The walls of the studio are full of torn notes and notes that he has pasted so there isn’t enough space to lean back on but there’s nothing we can do.
In the process of researching ways to apply common magic I wrote down the inspiration and methods that came to mind and pasted them on the wall.
The common magic used by Lennok is magic that he developed from start to finish relying solely on his own memories and talents.
In order to raise common magic to a higher level than now Lennoc had no choice but to make a little effort on his own even if he learned other unique magic.
Fortunately the magical talent he had developed by applying all kinds of penalties was not in vain and Lennok never stopped developing his own magic with only the slightest thought and inspiration.
It goes beyond simply using a given magic for its intended purpose and creates new magic through a process of re-cutting and defining the magic power consumption range power and limits.
Adjusting the range of [Thunder Calling] used against the Scavenger this time was also part of such research.

Lennok put the Styrofoam box containing the blood in the small refrigerator he had purchased in advance. Since the blood has been touched by dark magic it is natural to take action with small-scale barrier magic.
He sat down in one corner of the room with his back straight and then picked up the file Jenny had given him and began to look through the documents inside one by one.
There were also cases where requests came from mercenary offices such as Krimgal or requests were placed by individuals for the purpose of escorting.
There were some unusual requests such as a request for cooperation in an experiment from a research institute and there were also many requests from companies like last time.
Lennok who was flipping through documents paused for a moment and burst into laughter.
“Hehe… these guys are pretty crazy too.”
There was a request from the Scavengers to hire him.
To be precise it seems that the Scavenger branch chief of District 38 took note of his activities.
Even Lennok could not help but be surprised as this was a request that clearly showed that he would not care even though it was blatantly interfering with the operations of the same organization.
Jenny couldn’t have known this so she probably didn’t tell him on purpose.
As I worked with her I noticed that she was quite playful.
“Let’s see. First of all take this out take this out…..”
All requests that are overdue are filtered out. Requests coming from the mercenary office are also put on hold for now.
We also remove all requests that come in under the name of unknown individuals.
What was neat about the back and forth was that many requests came in under the name of a company.
Working with a gang didn’t seem too negative to Lennok but trust was an issue. I was planning to hold off on working with a dangerous organization until I had the capabilities to earn their trust through force.
After narrowing down the various requests under strict conditions in the end there was only one request that Lenno liked.
First of all among the requests gathered here the deadline until acceptance is the longest and the conditions are not strict. The pay wasn’t that expensive but there was a keyword that caught Lennok’s eye.
“It’s a pharmaceutical company…..”
a strange guest
Pharmaceutical company.
It is a word that strongly captures the interest of Lennok who has become increasingly interested in medicine.
As Lennok remembered he immediately turned on his cell phone screen and connected to the Internet network.
There is one site that he has been visiting more and more frequently these days although he only occasionally reads the news.
Auction the official online auction house operated by the city government.
In this city’s largest network market where it is said that it is faster to count the number of unsold items there are many cases where all kinds of rare treasures and relics of unknown origin are posted.
Consumables such as elixirs that maintain the user’s energy or health were also occasionally uploaded here.
Among them what Lennok is currently looking at is Stania Pharmaceutical Group’s first-class manufacturing elixir ‘Stemonia’ the price of which is around 100 million cells.
It is said that the most efficient energy enhancement for the human body is achieved by combining regenerative magic and qigong and primitive magic in various ways.
Among elixirs it is relatively a manufactured product and its actual efficacy is focused on boosting stamina and preventing energy from dissipating but it is a rare item that does not even come up at popular auctions like this.
Currently Lennok was in no position to worry about this or that.
We must not stop at improving our standard of living by earning money but strive to live a better life than we have now.
It was also for this time that I saved up the money I earned by saving money here and there.
“One request from now on…or at least two.”
In order to securely receive a bid for Stemonia at an auction just 100 million cells are not enough.
This time Lennoc planned to spend quite a bit of his money to confirm one important fact.
Can this weak body be improved with just the effects of the elixir?
If this question is not resolved Lennok cannot move forward.
He needed hope.
Even if it is not a unique magic of the time series there is hope that taking these elixirs can alleviate the penalty that is full of his body.
Unique magic artifact elixir.
Among these the ones that are most accessible to Lennok and most likely to be obtained with capital are the elixirs.
Even though we may not see much of an effect right now it is very important to see if similar elixirs can have a positive effect on Lennok.
Even if it means using up some of the money I have worked so hard to save.
Suppressing his rising excitement Lennok calmly turned the pages.
“Amnak Pharmaceutical Company….”
It was not a well-known dinosaur company like Stania but closer to a venture company founded in the 30s but it was important that it was manufacturing medicine.
You won’t be able to get anything special by winning a single request but it’s good to learn something about the industry.
Even if it is not an elixir you may be able to get a hint to solve the problem of sleeping pills that are gradually losing their effectiveness.
“I’m a bit reluctant to just change to a more effective drug…”
However if you take more than one dose of cheap sleeping pills you may not be able to wake up again so you have no choice but to endure like this for a while.
decided.
The next client will be Amnac Pharmaceuticals.
After making up his mind Lennok briefly read the request outline but it only contained the secret history of a pharmaceutical company related to new drug development.
It appears that there was a conflict with the local political circles over the expected benefits from the development of this new drug but it was difficult to find out because the specific circumstances were not written down.
After contacting Jenny you can meet the client later. Soon it was time to sleep.
Lennok who took a sleeping pill with a glass of water turned off the light and immediately lay down. Lately Lennok has been trying to maintain a regular sleep schedule as much as possible although he has been unable to do so because he has been busy with magic research.
I picked up my phone to pass the time until the cheap sleeping pills took effect.
When I lay down like this and look at the display I often felt as if nothing had changed.
Just like the time when I snuggled under the blanket without any worries and giggled while looking at my phone.
What has changed is that I no longer look for sports or entertainment articles.
The scandals of athletes and singers he knew nothing about no longer interested him.
Lennok who went online and looked at the news section clicked on the [Breaking News] section that appeared at the top with a photo.
[Philenom Dominion’s delegation’s visit to the Balkans confirmed. The scheduled date is two months later…. The response team will be convened to discuss the specific schedule]
[City government. We have always maintained the position that there will be no compromise but will we be able to change our attitude with this opportunity?]
[Contrary to companies’ promises the Aaronite production process is still making no progress.]
Self-governing territory… It’s a word that seems somewhat familiar but is also awkward. At least isn’t this a word that is difficult to hear on Earth?
It is difficult to understand the details but judging from the tone of the news headlines it appears that a major meeting will take place in the Balkans in two months.
Is this news big enough for Lennok to care about it? I wanted to think about it a little but I felt drowsy in an instant.
He put down his phone and fell asleep.
