Chapter 89: Saint's Blessing (1)

"Partner!! Look at this!!"

A dark blue pill.

Handed the round medicine, Yoojin checked its information.

⋯⋯⋯

[Pill (Unnamed)]

Rank: Rare

Category: Consumable

Durability: 10/10

A medicine that enhances the mentally stimulating components of Black Herb. Upon consumption, it clears the mind, providing benefits in the mana rearrangement process.

* Mana rearrangement speed decreased by 20%.

* Allows mana rearrangement while moving. In this case, mana rearrangement speed increased by 50%.

* Duration - 30 minutes.

⋯⋯⋯

Slightly lower performance than Yoojin remembered.

The fact that Shin Joonseok, a mere 3 Star, perfectly matched the mixing ratio without skill enhancement was practically a miracle.

'Even 20% is huge.'

In battles where victory could be decided by a mere second, just by taking this, the rearrangement speed increased by 20%, which could create various advantages in combat.

"Well made."

"Heh heh. I am quite amazing."

"If you increase your proficiency, you can increase the rearrangement reduction to 27%."

"....."

“No, really—”

Yoojin insisted.

“I know you're talented, but don't get complacent. A little bit of pressure can be a good motivator.”

He paused, tapping the pill with his finger.

"But why is the name blank?"

"The name you suggested was a bit... well, it didn't appeal to me, so I wanted to give it a different name."

‘Oh really? That tacky name. You're the original creator, you know?’

Seeing Shin Joonseok, oblivious to the fact that he was spitting in his own face, made Yoojin chuckle.

"Then you should have named it yourself."

"Ha, haha. My naming sense isn't that good. So, Yoojin, why don't you name it?"

"Didn't you say you didn't like the name I suggested?"

"Well, think carefully and decide."

Was this also a butterfly effect of his return?

It was trivial, but a bit amusing.

Yoojin stroked his chin and pondered the name of the dark blue pill.

"Saint's Blessing."

"Isn't that too grand?"

"It's a medicine made with the Saint's advice. It's okay to be a bit grand."

Shin Joonseok stared blankly at Yoojin.

"Ah, right. You're a Saint."

"What's with that reaction?"

"Seeing what you do, you're so far from being religious. I'd believe it if you said you were an atheist."

"Talking about atheists in an era where constellations bestow blessings."

Yoojin chuckled.

Shin Joonseok, holding the pill, moved his lips.

[The name of the pill has been decided as Saint's Blessing.]

[A new medicine not recorded in the system has appeared.]

[You have achieved a great feat. A large amount of experience and achievement points will be accumulated for the Hunter.]

System messages that only Shin Joonseok could hear.

His eyes sparkling, he tightly grasped Yoojin's hand.

"P-Partner!!!"

"Did the system say you achieved a great feat?"

"How did you know?"

"The Gangshim— I mean, Saint's Blessing, is a medicine that hasn't been created yet."

It was only natural.

Before returning, the first person to create that medicine was the Grand Alchemist Shin Joonseok.

'He won't ask about the source, will he?'

While inwardly feeling guilty and wondering what to say—

Shin Joonseok bowed deeply.

"To think you would generously share the recipe for such a medicine with me!!! I will continue to be loyal!!"

"Uh, yeah. Do that."

Instead of showing any suspicion, he bowed his head as if he were about to bury his nose in the ground.

It was understandable.

Yoojin had shown countless extraordinary feats so far.

Rather than being curious about the source of his knowledge, he was too busy enjoying the benefits of being with him.

'As expected, I made the right choice joining forces with my partner!'

Yoojin, oblivious to Shin Joonseok's thoughts, nodded with a bewildered expression.

＊ ＊ ＊

Shin Joonseok's workshop's second creation.

Where should they distribute the so-called [Saint's Blessing]?

"Using the Arhan Guild like before... wouldn't be good, would it?"

"It wouldn't feel right to do anything that would benefit those guys."

"How about Phoenix?"

"Rejected. The situation is different from the intermediate potion."

The mass-produced intermediate potion had good effects compared to its production cost, but it was replaceable.

The genuine intermediate potion made with Troll blood.

Even without it, a Healer class was essential when moving in teams.

"Potions are mainly used in emergencies."

The Saint's Blessing was different.

This pill not only speeds up spellcasting but also grants the incredible ability to cast while moving— [Dynamic Casting] trait.

Of course, its performance was inferior to the real one, but…

What other medicine could compare for magic-based Hunters who lacked crisis response abilities?

"You're saying there's no substitute."

"That's why we need to carefully choose a distributor."

Even Yoojin couldn't easily guess the impact the Saint's Blessing would have on the market once it was released.

It was a product that caused a tremendous sensation even before his return.

As it was a pill created 10 years ahead of the original history, the reaction would be even more intense, not less.

"How about Seongcheon Corporation?"

"Oh. That would be good."

"Don't you want to distribute it yourself? You'd have to pay a commission."

"Partner, I have a sense of whether I can handle something or not."

Shin Joonseok shook his head and shuddered.

"I can't handle this alone. The scale of my workshop is too small."

It was a realistic judgment.

He might be grinning from ear to ear whenever he was praised, and his eyes might sparkle when talking about alchemy, but—

This cold-headedness was the true face of the Grand Alchemist.

"Even so, we're only involving a distributor. I won't reveal the recipe and will produce it myself."

"Of course."

Shin Joonseok's alchemy workshop would be a part of Black Company.

In the future, they would launch their own brand, and there was a mountain of things to do together.

It was a very valuable source of income.

"Then let's go back."

He gathered everyone.

It seemed like everyone had achieved results in their own way during the past week, and Im Jaebaek also needed to take over the Red Spider's businesses.

"CEO Cheon, do you usually hunt with this much... intensity??"

Yoojin chuckled.

"If I had been with the kids, I would have taken it easier…”

Yoojin admitted.

"But I guess that wasn't quite your style, Director Im."

"If we 'took it easy' again…"

Im Jaebaek shuddered—

"I think I'd be the one ending up dead."

He said that, but he was inwardly surprised to hear that the Little Runts team had reached 3 Star.

Yoojin had a lot of experience gained from fighting numerous enemies who surpassed his rank, but the Little Runts team didn't.

'Those guys...'

He could easily guess that they were pushing themselves to keep their oath to follow him.

The group returned to Ground Zero.

"You all came back safely."

"To think the Madam of the Milky Way Pub would come out to greet us. What an honor."

"Ho ho. I'm here to show you to your accommodations."

"What accommodations?"

"You frequent Ground Zero, don't you? You need a place to stay."

Considering the management of the Red Spider's businesses and the fact that the border region was their base of operations, they would be coming in and out of Ground Zero even more frequently in the future.

Yoojin lightly nodded his head in appreciation for her consideration.

"Um, you're Director Im, right? Someone from the Black Market is waiting for you."

Im Jaebaek stepped aside and greeted her.

"Then I'll see you later."

"Take a shower before you go. Director Im is the face of Black Company."

Black Company hadn't yet surfaced.

The only public-facing activities were Shin Joonseok's workshop and the management of the Red Spider's businesses.

The workshop was just starting to gain fame, but it wasn't known to be under Black Company.

So, virtually the only exposure they had was in Ground Zero, where they had taken over the Red Spider's businesses.

"Alright, leave it to me."

Im Jaebaek, with a determined expression headed towards the accommodations provided by the Madam.

Yoojin watched him go, a flicker of amusement crossing his face.

‘He's taking this a bit too seriously. Maybe he just really hates showering.’

〔You really have no qualms about having such disrespectful thoughts.〕

‘Mind your own business, Constellation’

Yoojin retorted.

He turned back to the Madam.

"Is Chairman Jin busy these days?"

"He always has a lot of work. But I think he would make time for CEO Cheon."

"Then that's good."

"If you want to see Chairman Jin, I'll arrange a meeting."

"I have his contact information, though?"

"You're going to skip all the formalities and get straight to the point, aren't you?"

‘How did she know that?’

As Yoojin blinked his eyes, Madam sighed softly.

"You were wondering how I knew, weren't you?"

"I didn't know you had learned mind-reading."

"Th-That's... no. It's obvious what you're thinking."

Madam.

To read his mind after just a few words... She was indeed a formidable person.

〔Khahaha. It's not just that little human; everyone in your group knows that.〕

‘What? How?’

After pushing aside Kronos's boisterous laughter, he watched as Madam set the schedule.

"Tomorrow at 11 am. Is that time okay?"

"I'll be going with my partner."

"If it's Master Shin, the Alchemist, the Chairman will welcome him as well."

The Madam giggled, covering her mouth.

＊ ＊ ＊

The next day.

Seongcheon Corporation sent an armored vehicle to the front of their accommodation.

"We've come to escort you."

A fully armed guard opened the door.

Shin Joonseok blinked his eyes.

"Well, this is... It's nice to be treated as a VIP, but the atmosphere is a bit much."

"We've made thorough preparations since you're in Ground Zero."

At the guard's sharp reply, Shin Joonseok scratched his head as if he didn't understand.

He wondered if this was the same person who had a fit just two weeks ago at the mere mention of the word "Ground Zero."

"The Chairman will be waiting. Let's go."

Yoojin casually patted Shin Joonseok's shoulder and got into the armored vehicle.

The vehicle left Ground Zero and headed straight for Seongcheon Corporation's headquarters.

They were able to meet Chairman Jin Seonghyun immediately.

"Thank you for contacting us first, Mr. Saint, and Master Shin, the Alchemist."

"Is your daughter doing alright?"

"She has recovered enough to walk around the yard now."

Although they were meeting for the first time in a month, Jin Seonghyun addressed him with respect, just like during the treatment.

"She'll be sensitive to mana. With luck, she might be able to sense mana and become a Hunter."

"Haha. If that happens, I'll have to teach her magic."

The system's recognition criterion was magic aptitude.

Patients who suffered from Mongnaeibyeong, like Jin Seryeong, often awakened as Hunters.

With her father being a 7 Star Mage and her high mana sensitivity due to Mongnaeibyeong, it was highly likely that she would become a skilled Hunter.

Enough with the pleasantries.

"Actually, the reason I wanted to meet you is to distribute a medicine."

"By medicine, you mean... Master Shin's creation?"

"Well, yes."

"Even the intermediate potion caused a big stir in the market, so I have high expectations."

He already knew about the mass-produced intermediate potion.

Then the conversation would be quick.

As Yoojin glanced at him, Shin Joonseok, as if waiting for this moment, subtly held out the pill to Jin Seonghyun.

"This is it, Chairman."

"Hmm. Please excuse me for a moment."

Jin Seonghyun placed the dark blue pill on his palm and examined it carefully.

Shin Joonseok watched the atmosphere with a nervous expression.

‘Why is he so nervous? Just by looking at the status window, he would know it wasn't an ordinary medicine.’

"Th-This is?!"

Chairman Jin Seonghyun's eyes widened.

Surprise and admiration swirled in his trembling pupils.

"This is amazing. I believe this medicine will make a significant mark on the Hunter market."

"I would like Seongcheon Corporation to distribute this pill."

"Is it because of the Arhan Guild?"

"Well, that's also true, but I don't have the capacity to handle distribution, sales, and promotion all by myself."

A pill created by bringing back memories from his previous life.

Once the [Saint's Blessing] was distributed, Shin Joonseok's reputation would skyrocket.

After raising his reputation, he could gradually build his organization.

"Haha. I think it's us who should be asking you to grant us the distribution rights."

"Time can be bought with money. This is the same."

"My, oh my. Saint, your generosity and vision are truly broad."

Jin Seonghyun let out a short groan and then spoke again.

"May I make a suggestion?"

"Go ahead."

"Actually, I have acquaintances with family members suffering from Mongnaeibyeong."

Although they were in the process of creating treatment equipment using the knowledge Yoojin provided, it was still in the testing phase and couldn't be immediately put into practical use.

He had been wanting to request treatment, and Yoojin had contacted him first.

"I was thinking it would be better to distribute the medicine through that friend rather than through our company."

"What is your friend's name?"

"Her name is Jeong Soonim, and she's the CEO of Daehan Pharmaceuticals."

Daehan Pharmaceuticals.

They were the best in Korea when it came to pharmaceuticals, and their ranking in the business world was higher than Seongcheon Corporation's.

To arrange a meeting with the CEO of Daehan Pharmaceuticals while discussing the distribution of the [Saint's Blessing]...

Yoojin unconsciously licked his lips.
