Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 668

The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 668
Random Box (3)
“A door? this?”
“No matter how you look at it it looks like a box.”
“Like you said it’s just a random box.”
People looking around the huge box in disbelief.
But Lennok knew very well how valuable the box he had just created was.
The Ascension Gate opening code and core system obtained from the machine city of Machina.
In addition a miracle created using the temporary door frame of the Ascension Gate obtained from Kaise’s Secretariat as the basis.
With Dabi’s help we design and assemble only the minimum specifications to build the system then charge it with the necessary power to make it work.
Through him Lennok succeeded in creating a miniaturized simple Ascension Gate connected to the other side of the void of the old world.
Evidence that a failed project that brought out all the potential of the machine city Machina was secretly brought out by extracting only its essence.
If Ex Machina had noticed this they would have done whatever it took to silence Lennok.
“Please come forward one by one and line up.”
Charrrrrrr!!
Finally insert the black cubic penterect that moves constantly in your arms into the box.
The black glow of the penterect wriggled like crazy and took the shape of a lever to open the box.
Sigh…!!
As Lennok grabs the lever and pulls it slightly a crack inside the box opens slightly.
The complexions of the group changed dramatically as they realized that the space reflected within was different from the colors of this world.
“Wait a minute Van. “What kind of artifact did you create?”
[I thought I came back after acquiring a strange talent but this is more than that…]
From those who were shocked and asked questions to those who started to surround the box and analyze it with interest.
“Has the actual space-time been forcibly twisted and fixed as an artifact?”
“I knew this concept existed but this is the first time I’ve seen it actually applied.”
“I think you can learn something just by observing….”

“It is an item that increases unpredictability by forcibly twisting rules that would normally require a significant price to be paid.”
Next to the gathered people Lennok nodded with his arms crossed.
“Because the price to pay has been reduced and only the minimum amount of passage has been left I don’t know what can be taken out of it.”
“Ah so you said it was a random box earlier?”
Mila turned her gaze in bewilderment as if she had belatedly understood what Lennok had said.
“No then the reason we gathered them all together like this was to tell them to open the random box?”
Of course the reason Lennok calls others to open the Ascension Gate is not purely to give gifts.
To reach another goal by accumulating Ascension Gate data that cannot be accumulated by Lennok alone.
But I couldn’t explain all the circumstances right here.
Lennok let go of the lever and took a step back gesturing to those gathered around him.
“Those who are ready should grab the lever first. “Keep in mind that this opportunity doesn’t come all of a sudden.”
“It makes me even more anxious to see a wizard like you talking like a touting merchant… Well that’s fine.”
Belver with a red face and wiping the corner of his mouth from drunkenness stood in front of Lennok first.
His twin sister Belita held Belver’s shoulder with a slightly worried look.
“Belver. Come to your senses. “Are you really trying to do this in your right mind?”
“Well what Ban said is that this is a random box-like artifact.”
Belver who had driven away his drunkenness with magic followed Lennok and shrugged his shoulders while grabbing the doorknob.
“Getting rich right away is an investor’s dream. “If it’s something you have to do anyway even if you can recover just a portion of the investment it’s still worth it…!!”
“It looks like he has gone crazy due to a series of stock investment failures.”
“I don’t think that’s wrong.”
“Unfortunately…”
“Everyone shut up!! “Do you think you can survive in this hellish fire?!”
Belver scolded the people who were whispering and grabbed the lever without hesitation.
Lennok who was standing by the door laughed.
“You’re brave. Or is it reckless?”
“Let’s call it the perspective of a full-time investor.”
Belver responded cynically.
“If they were planning on tricking me they wouldn’t have had to bother me like this.”
Close both eyes and pull the lever as hard as you can.
Slam!!
The image of the bellber pushing down the lever with all his heart as if he were pulling a slot machine.
At that moment all kinds of strange unknown noises began to echo above Bellver’s head.
Purring!!
Clap clap clap!!
Doo doo doo doo!!
Tiring tiring~
“What?!”

The startled Belver stepped back in surprise and raised his gaze.
All kinds of strange phenomena writhing throughout the mansion were rotating around the mechanical box and flashing a loud light.
Even the inexplicable shape of a hairball that seems to be jumping around on the box.
[Roll roll~]
[Organisms that can’t invest~]
Only then did the people’s expressions strangely change as they realized what that sound and light meant.
“Is this a sound effect…?”
[I think I’m hearing something strange about that…]
“Even the effects are gorgeous.”
“Why do you care so much about this…hmm.”
As the people looked at Lennok and hurriedly gathered their words the effects and sound effects faded.
The lever returned to its original position and the door to the mechanical box burst open.
While everyone is looking forward to seeing what will come out of it with a mixture of tension and curiosity.
Slam!!
Something with a dazzling golden sheen crashed down into the middle of the garden.
“…hmm?”
“Oooh!! Gold…!!!! “Isn’t this?”
Belver who was kneeling down with a bright smile on his face and trying to receive the gold nugget he had pulled out turned gloomy.
This is because I realized that what was sticking out of the box was not gold but a large lump of golden jelly.
“What is this?”
“You wouldn’t know it if you saw it? “It’s slime.”
Belita said holding up a branch and poking the golden slime.
Although it reacts by twitching every time it is stabbed it does not move much because it is not a living creature to begin with.
Belver who was holding the slime with a worried look turned his gaze towards Lennok.
“What on earth is this? “Why did you put these items in the random box?”
“I told you. “I did not put the contents in it and it is not something I can determine.”
Lennok answered.
“I just took out the item in response to your will. “That’s it.”
We only barely realized the passage using items obtained from Machina and equipment from the system code reality.
In the first place you can’t choose whether to take something out from beyond the Ascension Gate.
At least the first attempt can only increase relevance because it uses Penterect as the key.
“Uhm….”
Belver who was thinking while holding the slime muttered.
“Then I guess I picked the wrong one. “What on earth can I use this for?”
“well.”
“I’m not a trainer and I have absolutely no talent for summoning. Even if I give you something like this I can’t use it. Oh can I sell it?”
“Are you crazy Bellver? “You’re selling the items Ban gave you at the market?”
Mila slapped Belver on the back of the head as if she couldn’t believe it.
“Do you know that it’s common for wizards like your class to give gifts?”
[Hey stock guy. If you’re going to sell it sell it to me. I will pay a high price.]
“Oh no wait a minute.”
When Manson presented the price as if he had been waiting Belver seemed to have no desire to sell.
Did he realize with his investor sense that he shouldn’t throw this away right away?
No considering Belver’s asset status it was questionable whether he even had the sense of an investor…
“For the first attempt we took care to ensure that the items were not randomly selected so they will not be completely unrelated items.”
Lennok muttered rubbing his chin.
“Belver considering your usual words and actions….”
Lennok took a coin out of his pocket and flicked it lightly towards the slime that Belver was holding.
At that moment the slime which only wriggled slightly but did not react in any way gulped down the coin that Lennok had thrown.
Hot!!
“I ate it!!”
[Eating money…]
“Is this a slime that eats money?”
“I picked a pet that looks just like you Bellver!!”
Belver’s face crumpled at the reaction of the mercenaries giggling all around.
“Mr. Mr.X…”
The moment when Bellver who was shaking and unable to refute anything slapped the slime with a disapproving look.
The slime that was chewing a coin in its mouth suddenly spit out something.
Tsk!
Something covered in sticky mucus.
Belver took out a faintly glowing substance and tilted his head.
“Huh? This isn’t a coin. what?”
“It’s xeritite ore.”
Felix who was watching from the side said.
“It is an ore mined on a small scale in the western fossil belt.”
“…You ate a coin and spit out ore?”
Only then did Belver realize that the slime’s abilities were stranger than he thought and his expression changed strangely.
The other mercenaries also tilted their heads as if they did not understand.
“It’s not like Belver to take money and produce something else of value.”
“that’s right. “All the incentives received from the office are not suitable for Bellver who is stuck in stocks and burns up.”
“Can’t everyone be quiet?”
While Belver was bickering with the other mercenaries Jenny opened her mouth as if she remembered something.
“Geritite ore is one of the minerals whose market price fluctuates the most because its production is so irregular.”
“Huh?”
[It was quite famous for the price to fluctuate by several million cells every month.]
Manson chuckled at that as if he had similar knowledge.
[If he is really an investor who invested his life in the stock market I think he would know why Slime exchanged his money for ore whose price fluctuates so much.]
“….”
Only then did the other people’s expressions change strangely as they understood the slime’s abilities.
I vaguely understood that the random box created by Lennok had indeed selected items that were somewhat related to Belver.
“Huh? “Then why not invest in slime instead of stocks?”
Other people start lining up ignoring Bellver who is carrying slime with a somewhat nervous look.
The movement was mixed with a strange heat and intense curiosity that was different from before.
The first to take the next spot was Mad Manson.
[Next is me. It’ll be okay right?]
“You cowardly tin-head!!”
“Why are you standing in line twice by yourself!!”
The bodies Manson brought were two for each man and woman.
Lennok laughed at the words of Manson the woman at the front who would make the most of the number of people in the bar.
“as you please.”
[Go right away. If you hesitate about something like this negativity will burn.]
After receiving Lennok’s permission Manson immediately grabbed the lever and pulled it with all his strength.
Click click click!!
Rumbling!!
Piiiiing…!!
Just like before something with five tails was jumping on top of the box.
[Unlucky tin can~]
[Your personality program is outdated~]
[…I feel like it’s strangely piercing my painful area. Is this also an illusion?]
“….”
Sound effects and sounds that are subtly different from before are flying above the two people’s heads.
All kinds of pale and strange radiance flowed in and out of the box like the Milky Way.
Manson put his hand into the box as if possessed and took out something.
Lennok looked at the object instead and spoke.
“It’s a fountain pen.”
[….]
It is small enough to fit in one hand and is worn as if someone had used it.
It is difficult to guess its capabilities just by looking at it.
Rather it is something that does not suit Manson who is physically capable.
“Is it something you remember?”
[…No this is my first time seeing this item.]
Manson smiled bitterly and lightly grabbed the fountain pen.
[But I think I understand why something like this was caught. In a way the reason why I became like this was because it was completely opposite to this.]
“….”
[It’s nonsense magic… I made a really great random box.]
A tone full of admiration and no hesitation completely different from Manson’s usual tone.
A clear emotional agitation rarely seen in a man with multiple physical fitness.
Unlike others does the person who pulled the lever recognize the history and reason for the item at a glance?
“Me me!! “Can I do it next time?”
“Wait in line Mila!!”
“Can’t you see there are a lot of people waiting right now?”
The drunken relaxed atmosphere has gone and people are waiting for their turn in a circle around the random box.
Lennok smiled at them and grabbed the lever again.
“Don’t be too hasty. “I will allow you to turn it as far as the power allows.”
* * *
“Manson wasn’t wrong. “Now I know what you made.”
Jorden smiled bitterly as he held the item he took out of the box in his hand.
Glasses broken in half. The left lens and frame of the glasses were shattered without a trace.
“The person opening the door takes out an object related to the wish desired but the direction is very different from the wish.”
“Is that so?”
“This is an artifact that automatically recognizes the underlying disease and evaluates the treatment. “This is my first time seeing a medical device miniaturized to this degree.”
Jordan said as he meticulously smoothed out the flaws on his glasses.
“But the data recognition part which is the most important core is missing.”
“….”
“You know what I wanted but you refuse to fulfill it in the right way.”
Zordon laughed slightly.
“It’s hard to believe that they made it with the intention but it’s even more surprising if they didn’t aim for it. “You are truly a great wizard…”
What was his wish to immediately recognize the power of the glasses he had pulled out and guess the essence of the Gate of Ascension?
Maybe it’s a story related to Jordan’s past as a doctor on the Central Front.
However as Jordan said not all of those who pulled the lever pulled out useful or desired items.
Some people picked items that were easy to use while others picked completely useless items and became sullen.
“Why the rattles that kids use….”
“Weian. “I know your taste well.”
“Let’s all keep a little distance from Wei An from now on.”
“that’s right. “It looks like he needs some time to enjoy his own secret hobbies.”
“Oh no. “It’s a conspiracy!!”
Wei An or I feel aggrieved by the rattle whose purpose is unknown.
“The voice I heard when I turned the lever earlier strangely hit the nail on the head.”
“Maybe it’s not a ghost….”
“Shall we offer an offering secretly?”
It is not a random box but the appearance of mercenaries who seem to have seriously fallen for the spirit’s trick.
On the other hand there were also items that made me hesitate even though I knew their intended use was very clear.
This was exactly the case with the items Dylan and Jenny each pulled out.
[….]
A blue heart slowly writhing in Dylan’s hand.
And the pure white whistle held in Jenny’s hand.
Jenny asked with a nervous expression showing the whistle to Lennok.
“You can’t blow right?”
“…It’s not in good condition.”
Lennok took the whistle observed it carefully and nodded.
“After using it a few times it will break right away. “It’s better to think of them as consumables.”
“Hmm it’s a whistle that you never know what might come out if you blow it. “I was hoping to come up with something that would help my business but it was vague.”
Jenny sighed and shook her head.
“But since you gave it to me it’s probably not a dangerous item.”
“…I can’t guarantee. “If necessary you may have to leave it to your emotions.”
As Lennok said that he glanced towards Dylan who was silent.
“I’m going to talk to Dylan for a moment.”
A brief event held using a simple Ascension Gate as a random box.
Everyone gathered here randomly picked something out from the door once in a while.
Now that the intended purpose is over the rest will be taken care of after what Lennok did.
“Dylan.”
“Ah half.”
Dylan who was looking at the silently wriggling blue heart smiled at Lennok.
“…I pulled out something that was less interesting than I thought. sorry.”
An artifact that is strange to anyone’s eyes and has a terrifying aura.
No can this wriggling heart be called an artifact?
Although I naturally avoided mentioning it there is no doubt that it is an item that makes me think complexly in many ways.
And that’s no doubt because it has something to do with Dylan’s origins.
Lennok nodded his head lightly.
“Shall we go over there for a moment and talk?”
“Of course. Ah it’s still a bit disappointing. Normally at events like this it’s fun to see people who are strangely lucky.”
Dylan chuckled and walked after Lennok.
“In this industry it’s usually those who are too lucky that get left behind first… hmm?”
Dylan turned his gaze to follow Lennok who had stopped walking for a moment and then quietly closed his mouth.
Lennok finally smiled and spoke softly to Dylan.
“So as you said another person who seems to have had strangely good luck has arrived.”
“All dressed up…?”
In the middle of the mansion’s garden which was in disarray.
A man with a strange aura glided among the group like a ghost.
He is a head taller than the others and is dressed in a suit with a thick fur coat.
Even the look with long swept-back hair would look good in any setting.
A strange presence that makes it difficult to believe that they are standing in the same place even though they can be seen and recognized with both eyes.
Antares standing in front of a huge mechanical box looked at Lennok and smiled.
“I’m not too late am I?”
“All dressed up….”
“When did you return to the Balkans?”
He lightly nods his head to the members’ questions and waits for Lennok’s answer.
I thought he was leaving the Balkans but he was still staying near a huge city.
“…no. It’s not too late. “But if you want to participate you’ll have to wait in line.”
Lennok responded and looked away.
“Because it seems like someone came first.”
The rooftop of the mansion building.
A green eye light was flashing through the storm of all kinds of magical power and the swirling torrent of brilliance.
