Drug-Eating Genius Mage

“…The test results are out. What do you want to hear first?”

Rayan quickly came out with the results.

Although he is proficient in blood magic, his work is quite fast.

There was a reason why Jenny kept teasing the boy even though she grumbled at the boy’s grumpy attitude.

“Just recite it.”

“Male 38 years old. right handed. As a special feature, the vision in one eye is very poor and the other eye is prosthetic. As a result of Jordan’s diagnosis, 78% of his body was remodeled. The amount of magical power is roughly the same as that of a level 1 wizard.”

“You didn’t ask for that.”

Jenny said with a frown on her face.

“Such cheap personal information is on the level of being blown out loud just by browsing the deep web. Talk about genetic diseases or origins that can be confirmed through blood.”

“… There isn’t that much information that can be confirmed because the blood is mixed with impurities. He was from a mixed race in the Southern Continent and enjoyed drinking unrefined alcohol very much. I don’t have any particular genetic disease, but I’m a constitution that receives mana well to some extent.”

“They are mixed-race people from the Southern Continent who enjoy drinking cheap alcohol…”

“They were a bit famous for their close ties and living in groups, right? It is highly likely that it is an underground organization that has flowed in from outside.”

Jenny and Lennox exchanged opinions quickly.

“The cartel or the mafia. If that’s not the case, Jeonghwahoe.”

“Either way, if you search for organizations that have recently transfused external power, the answer will come soon.”

“I will contact the client. This amount of information should be enough to negotiate additional incentives.”

“I have a little bit of that, right…?”

Jenny, who neatly ignored Rayan’s question with an anxious expression, bowed under the bar.

Immediately accessing the deep web and seeing Jenny diligently tapping the keyboard, Lennok rubbed the tobacco he was holding in his mouth into an ashtray.

It is not bad to actively negotiate the fee for the request rather than simply handing over the drug kit.

From the client’s point of view, there will be few things that will waste incentive payments according to the results of work.

In short, the broker’s job is to determine how plausibly the freelancers package their work before entering into negotiations.

And Jenny has never had a lesser-than-expected performance in anything involving Lennok.

“It is done. I think I can get an additional 100 million cells. The other side seems to be thinking about recapturing the base rather than just tracking down the organization, but we decided to stop that for now.”

“okay.”

If the organization to which the gunman like the man with sunglasses that Lennok killed is affiliated is intertwined, it is impossible to know how far it must go to complete the work.

In the previous case, I deliberately participated in a long-term project and continued to work in order to rapidly raise my reputation, but

now that I have established myself as a freelancer to some extent, it would be more financially beneficial to hit and run like this.

Thinking so, Lennok leaned back in his chair and threw his head back.

Jenny, who had finished the work, said as if comforting her appearance, which was soaked in fatigue just by looking at it.

“great job. This request is practically the same as if you handled it all by yourself.”

“……..”

“I think the incentives are no joke since the drug kit was recovered in almost perfect condition on top of the basic success fee. 500 million cells would be easy.”

Lennok smiled when he saw Jenny’s big smile at the enormous fees incurred in the process.

This nomination request originally started when another freelancer was in charge of handling it, but he was killed in reverse and his drug kit was taken away.

Even Lennok, who had no intention of working for the time being because the unit price was as certain as fixing the failed work of another guy, was well paid enough to attract ears.

Thanks to that, it was exhausting to come after an unprecedented chase, but wouldn’t it be nice to have a thick wallet anyway?

She was busy checking her laptop and cell phone with her work and gestured toward Lennok.

Lennok noticed that he was asking to block out the sounds around him, and immediately cast soundproofing magic around him.

“what’s the matter?”

“I have something to tell you about the Underground Auction House.”

“……”

“Ban, aren’t you aiming for elixirs that can be sold there? I did some research on that too.”

A VIP ticket to the underground auction house obtained from Evelyn.

She had consulted with Jenny once, so there’s no way she couldn’t remember it.

In fact, the reason why I am collecting funds by receiving requests like this now is also to participate in the second underground auction held this quarter.

“If it is simply an elixir that is effective, the price varies widely. Billions of cells may not be enough to get something that suits your taste.”

“however?”

“But wouldn’t it be a different story if something that could produce a similar effect was uploaded?”

What appeared on the screen was an old talisman with burnt hands.

Rather than possessing any special power, the paper material simply looks like an object with a long history.

You can’t figure out anything with just this. Jenny explained.

“It’s one of the items left behind by the high-ranking apothecary called the medicinal line. It has been a long time since I retired from active duty, but I heard that only those who come with this amulet will be treated.”

“………”

“It is not an elixir that can be obtained directly, but something more like a ticket to meet someone. That’s why it’s relatively easy to obtain compared to elixirs and artifacts that cost a fortune. Of course, receiving treatment from a medicinal plant and paying the price is another story, but… how about it?”

Jenny grinned.

“Isn’t this worth a try?”

Certainly, receiving treatment from a high-ranking apothecary was a story that Lennok could not overlook.

But there was one more fundamental problem than that.

“jenny. I’m grateful for the favor… but the reason I’m trying to find the elixir isn’t because I couldn’t find someone with skills.”

Lennok replied sullenly.

“I have no intention of bragging about my circumstances to strangers.”

In this body-bound penalty, there are hidden circumstances that are too complex and explicit to simply explain in words.

Swept away by premature hopes, Lennok had no intention of revealing this secret, which could prove to be a fatal weakness if left unchecked.

But Jenny nodded as if she had guessed Lennok’s reaction.

“I know why you, Van, collect elixirs very carefully. However, Yakseon is completely different from other members of Congress. There is a reason so many patients have been looking for him.”

“what?”

“They say that there is a reason why Yakseon, who was once popular, retired from the field.”

As Jenny said that, she nodded at Lennok, who frowned.

“I think I can solve some of your worries.”
