‘Is it greed? Or is it confidence in being able to handle everything alone?’
Lee Hyun-do, the CEO, fell into thought for a moment before carefully continuing his words to shake Namé’s determination.
“It’s impressive that NoName Wizard has thought about this direction. However, if we consider the decision to remain a private entity without receiving any individual investments at this point, it may not be as valid as you think.”
Hyun-do’s assertion was not just reasonable; it was completely valid in the economic market.
Remaining a private company makes it impossible to attract capital through the stock market.
Moreover, Namé had declared that she wouldn’t give up even 1% of her shares.
Even when pushing forward with large-scale projects in the future, cash could become a significant obstacle.
“I cannot guess what kind of business you intend to pursue through some unidentified magic… but to maximize the company’s value through investments, attract more talented people, and establish such a virtuous cycle is what ignites the speed of business.”
He cleared his throat once more.
Namé was indeed a greedy child, but it wouldn’t be greed for ‘money.’
He sincerely hoped that the young wizard would take his words seriously and smiled comfortably.
“In the end, you want to commercialize magic for humanity as soon as possible, right? I’m just sharing a method to realize your vision more quickly and surely. Of course, our Samyeon Group is completely willing to invest, too.”
Moreover, 7-circle magic is directly regulated by the state.
If it were right after the completion of the Magic Power Plant, it might be another story.
No matter how much Namé involves the Janjeol Clan in the middle, she cannot escape the complex and tedious regulations.
Furthermore, the commercialization of magic is essentially akin to fitting ‘Engraved Magic.’
To realize completely different magics, from rune languages to circuit formulations, using engravings required considerable amounts of capital and manpower.
Especially since there was no guarantee that 7-circle magic could be achieved, the risk would only double.
Namé, who had experience selling the Demon King’s Horn, was unlikely to be unaware of this fact.
However, Namé was just listening indifferently.
She stood up from her seat and opened the hologram catalog displayed in the library.
“I don’t need an investment; actually, I came to buy a product.”
“P-product?”
Hyun-do’s voice revealed an air of confusion.
‘Does she know what we’re selling?’
This was a genuine question, not a sneer.
Fundamentally, the Samyeon Group ranked within the top 20 in the industry, yet it was still a company that was quite unfamiliar to the public.
Among them, Samyeon Link, which provides magic and automation solutions, specialized in B2B (business-to-business) dealings.
Therefore, they dealt with rather unrelated equipment such as magic wiring breakers and instant pressure compensation devices.
“Actually, I just wanted to ask for a quote. Uh… I need about two storage towers of 30 terameter capacity. Can you install everything I need in a single container? Or will I have to assemble everything myself? That would be a bit troublesome.”
‘Why isn’t there a price for this one?’ Namé muttered to herself.
It felt just like stopping by the Yongsan Electronics Market to get a computer quote.
However, the 30 te storage tower she pointed to cost about 3.5 billion won each.
“Add this, this, and if possible, I’d like the communication module for the Magic Power Plant too.”
Just like that, 400 million, 1.1 billion, and another 250 million won were added.
Namé was filling the container as if adding items to a shopping cart.
“Is this enough for me to mass-produce capsule-type engraved magic stones by myself?”
“…”
Hyun-do momentarily lost for words at Namé’s antics.
In reality, it was still insufficient, so he lent a hand.
Products for power saving and other safety solutions were added to the purchase list.
Only then did the final amount solidify in the Chairman’s mind.
10.15 billion won.
Was this just a child’s simple prank? Surely not.
100 billion won could easily be considered ‘a contract’ rather than just a purchase.
He frowned and asked, “Are you really going to buy this?”
“How much will it be altogether?”
“101 billion 5 hundred million won… If you really want to buy it, I could do it for 101 billion.”
“50 billion.”
Namé spread her five fingers wide.
Hyun-do’s eyes narrowed.
“NoName Wizard… I’m sorry, but this isn’t a traditional market where bargaining is possible…”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. If I sell it that cheap, I’ll be charged with embezzlement.”
“Just wanted to try, heh… 100 billion?”
The inherently distrustful Namé let out a childish giggle.

[Samyeon Link, Contract for Engraved Magic Stone Total System with NoName Wizard… Worth 10 billion]
The company, which had an average annual revenue of 5 trillion won and over 2 trillion won in order backlog, signed a contract worth 10 billion won.
Now, find the fluctuation in stock price.
The ants who answered with 0.2% wept in front of a large beautiful candlestick.
[Samyeon Link 68,050 🔺12,850 (23.28%)]
└ Woo Yaho~~~!!!
└ I was planning to buy tomorrow, but this is such a f*ing disaster🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
└ Is this good news?
└ It’s Na-me.
└ Please just once more…!! Accept me as a comrade!!
└ 🚂🚂🚂 The train has already left~
└ Why is NoName suddenly going crazy?
The Samyeon Group, which became too big to make a fuss over a 100 billion won contract, was not as it seemed.
The efficient market interpreted Namé’s 10 billion contract as a 1 trillion one and this was directly reflected in the stock prices.
[Buying Samyeon’s stock in commemoration of getting an autograph from Namé, what is happening? lol]
(Samyeon Link 🔺23.28%)
(Samyeon 🔺18.45%)

Legendary legendary lol

– Why are the other stocks going up? lol
– They already said Samyeon had good prospects.
└ It’s just NoName pulling the trigger lol
– Wow, I made 300,000 won in a single day, such a pro.
– What’s the NoName investment method? lol
– But analysts must have been watching it for a while, right?
└ Of course, since they have exclusive rights to Human Transmutation magic.
└ Ka, I’m going to go for a bonus tomorrow!
– Is this Ham Cho-rong Season 2? Brings back old memories.
└ It’s an old man…
The next day, the stock price of Samyeon Link welcomed investors with a green -15%.
Numerous cries and wails flooded the community.
From a distance, those observing this situation began to feel Namé’s great influence.
[What is NoName doing to buy 10 billion at Samyeon?]
The clan’s money is probably almost all her own money.
With 10 billion, she must have squandered most of what she won as prize money in the National Exchange Tournament.
Could it be that Adella Season 2 is coming?
[Comments]
– Since Adella has 200 billion, 10 billion might be enough for cat ears and tails.
└ Oh wow lol
└ I’m on board.
└ It’s furry furry…
– Something big is definitely coming ㄷㄷ
– Namé, I’m so scared!!!!!
– What will go up? What is it! What is it!
Samyeon Link ultimately became merely a stepping stone for whatever Namé was about to unleash.
As this fact spread quietly, the stock market shook once again.
Investors searched the globe with fire in their eyes to find the related companies.
Ultimately, there emerged a skeptical perspective that it was magic that would be impossible to commercialize.
Suddenly, Namé posted a quote on social media.
[NoName★]
Dreaming is a delicate blessing of the heart and a new dawn of the soul.
[Comments]
– Namé, did you perhaps drink?

Inside a dark container.
Vvviin-!
With a high-density mana laser, she etched engraved magic circles onto the magic stone.
Carefully operating the machine, she drew runes step by step.
[El – Mabeon – Germun]
Declaring she would solve it all by herself without the help of a company might be an overreach.
Commercializing Human Transmutation magic through Akashic Records or Dragonia Nascentia was still a tale for the distant future.
Though it could be in the near future, it certainly wasn’t the case right now.
However, this magic had not only the purpose of substitutions for the human body but various other applications.
It’s the very reason dragons live without illness.
They aren’t specifically biologically well-off.
It’s just that they receive better maintenance than others.
[Lumiere – Preshian]
The engravings of Dragonia Nascentia were limited to 4-syllable runes.
Going beyond this would consume too much mana and require the highest-grade magic stones.
She drew three rings and constructed a gyroscope shape that intersected with each other.
Then, she floated a transmutation membrane in the center and calmly waited for the osmosis of mana.
[Transmutation: C27H46O]
Hrum hrum.
Beeep beep beep beep-!
The machine efficiently gathered all the used materials.
At this moment, she certainly felt how much like the 2050s it was.
No, did such machines exist even in the 20s?
Regardless, she completed the primary process of engraving the magic stone.
She placed it in a temperature and humidity control device and inspected the previously stored magic stones.
The stones, roughly the size of a baby’s fist, emitted a luminous sheen like black pearls.
Inside the container, she had also prepared a Samsung-made medical capsule in advance.
Click-
She opened the head section of the capsule.
She replaced the round emerald-colored magic stone inside with the black pearl magic stone.
“It should work well.”
She relaxed her entire body and took a deep breath slowly.
Her eyes began to gently close.
Suddenly, the white light thickened, filling the space densely.
[Private Room]
[NoName]
An immensely familiar space.
Ding-
Soon, a notification rang.
She lightly placed her finger on the message.
[Dreaming Mode]
[Casting: Alchemist’s Mirror]
Seeing the familiar background made her smile.
“This is my happiest moment…”
After a moment of appreciation, she checked her bodily health data.
[Total Cholesterol: Normal]
[LDL Cholesterol: Normal]
[HDL Cholesterol: Normal]
[Triglycerides: Normal]
Thinking about it, the magic applied well since it was for her.
The first thought that came to her mind was to call Professor Cheon.
Her father’s cholesterol levels had been slightly high during the recent health check-up.
