Upon closer inspection, the sunken ship was much larger than expected.

Besides, it was a part, not the whole.

Starting from the front of the ship, the bow, there was only the middle of the bridge.

The length of the front part alone seemed to exceed 100m.

I checked to see if the back of the ship was nearby, but I couldn’t see it.

It is highly probable that only the front part remained here at the time of the sinking, and the back part rolled down to the deep seabed along the slope of the sea mountain.

Huge guns were installed on the deck.

It was a warship, not a cargo ship.

Kim Seo-yeon analyzed the appearance of the sunken ship and reported it to me.

[There is a high probability that it is a Yamato-class battleship built by the Japanese Empire.]

After the First World War, several countries came together to conclude a disarmament treaty to prevent a recurrence of a terrible, large-scale war.

The treaty also included restrictions on the size of warships when they were built.

However, Japan withdrew from the treaty and built a super-giant battleship out of standard.

That was the Yamato-class battleship.

[It’s a Japanese battleship…]

It didn’t matter what era or country the sunken ship was in front of me.

What mattered to me was whether or not there was gold in the ship.

[Let the search begin.]

Shuuk-

I led the golems past the player and reached the amputation.

And entered the inside of the hull through the damaged part.

So the search for gold began.

.

.

.

Searching the inside of a huge ship was not an ordinary task.

I had to go through countless tanks, storage sheds, and cabins in the living quarters one by one.

Shuuk-

They searched the inside of the ship at great swimming speed, but the area to be searched was too wide.

If I had been alone, I wouldn’t have dared.

However, thanks to the golems, we were able to search the entire interior of the hull in a matter of hours.

In order to prevent repeated searches of the same place, a light ball made of magic was left at the place where the search was completed.

The entire sunken ship shone like a Christmas tree.

But no ‘gold’ was found.

‘sh*t!’

After finding diving equipment with difficulty, they searched the deep sea for several hours, but there was no result.

Various thoughts ran through my mind.

Are the Japanese who came here a few days ago also on the wrong foot?

Or are they looking for something other than gold?

Shuuk-

Kim Seo-yeon came up to me and told me.

[Now that we’ve come down, why don’t we look elsewhere?]

A total of 5 circles were drawn on the map taken from Chairman Chun.

One place at the top of Anyongbok Seamount,

And four on the seafloor plains that are over 2,000 meters deep.

Where we are now is the sea area that is not circled.

[good. Let’s explore all the places where the circle is drawn.]

The circle closest to the current position was the top of the mountain.

It was a place that was expected to be the place where Chairman Chun had retrieved the gold.

Shuuk-

I led the golems and moved to the top of the mountain.

After searching nearby, they found the sunken ship without difficulty.

[This is a Japanese-built destroyer.]

Yamato-class battleships and destroyers sunk nearby.

Perhaps the fleet that was moving in groups was sunk all at once.

Kim Seo-yeon continued.

[But there is something strange. The time of the sinking is estimated to be about 80 years ago, and there are traces of the deck being cut out by underwater cutting.]

‘Underwater cutting’, which cuts steel plates in water, is a technology that has already been used since World War I.

However, with the technology at the time, this was only possible in shallow water.

This was at a depth of 500m.

Let alone cutting underwater, diving itself would have been impossible.

[In other words, you mean that you recently cut it?]

[Yes, that’s right.]

The situation was sketched in my head.

Recently, someone had cut through the deck and pulled out something inside.

‘It must be a sign that Chairman Chun took the gold.’

In any case, there was nothing more to see here.

[Let’s move to another place.]

.

.

.

Shuuk-

I led the golem and moved to the 2,000m underwater plain.

Then, the four sea areas with circles were explored one after another.

Destroyers were sunk in each sea area.

But there was no gold in the ship.

In half a day, three sunken ships were searched, but nothing came of it.

And moved to the last sea area where the circle was drawn.

There was a deep undersea canyon.

It came down to a depth of 3,500m along the steep slope of the canyon.

And found a huge sunken ship.

It was half a boat.

They found the back of a Yamato-class battleship.

[Let’s finish this and go home.]

[Yes, boss.]

After being in the water all day, I was sick of underwater exploration.

Regardless of whether or not gold comes out, you will return without any regrets after you finish your search here.

Shuuk-

It entered the inside of the hull through the damaged part.

And within a few minutes, Lee Seo-yoon contacted me.

From noble mtl dot com

[I found the gold!]

Shuuk-

I moved to the place where Lee Seo-yoon was.

It was a warehouse just below the deck, and there was a huge amount of gold there.

But it wasn’t gold bars or gold coins.

There were several pieces of gold nuggets the size of a household refrigerator.

‘What is this?’

Looking closely, it was a huge golden statue that had been cut into several pieces.

I reached for the pieces.

fluffy-

I used <Psychokinesis> to make the golden pieces come to mind.

Then, as if putting together a 3D puzzle, the original shape was restored by moving around.

It was a huge golden horse.

hiss-

I put the whole golden horse in my inventory.

However, it was not absorbed into the gold warehouse.

It is not 99.99 pure.

‘The quantity is enormous!’

As I continued to use the inventory, I could roughly feel the volume of the stored items.

The golden horse was a little over 5 cubic meters in volume.

One cubic meter of gold weighed about 19.3 tons.

So you got 100 tons of gold.

However, the exact amount of pure gold could not be calculated because they did not know how pure it was.

I’m going to go home soon and check the purity first.

Anyway, I found the gold in the back of a Yamato-class battleship.

The question from earlier ran through my mind again.

Why did the Japanese find and like the front part of the battleship?’

‘It’s strange.’

In any case, there was not enough information to guess anything now.

President Park is gathering information from Japan, so if you’re lucky, you’ll soon find out why.

So let’s end our deep sea search here.

[Let’s go back.]

[yes! president.]

Shuuk-

I led the golems and rose toward the sea level.

.

.

.

As soon as I got home, I went down to the basement.

hiss-

I took Chief Kim out of the inventory.

He took out his cell phone and checked the date.

“It’s been a week! Is the exploration of the East Sea over? Did you find the gold?”

“I found it.”

“oh! How many did you find?”

“100 tons.”

“oh my god!”

“But I still don’t know the purity.”

I’ll have him measure the purity of the golden statue.

However, the basement was too small to take out the huge golden statue in the inventory.

I’m going to use the new magic I learned a few days ago.

‘Expansion of space.’

Sussuk-

The walls facing each other moved away from each other, and the basement began to widen.

It wasn’t just the area that expanded.

The ceiling was also raised.

The basement, which was about 20 pyeong, quickly became the size of a high school auditorium.

omg-

Director Kim was startled and couldn’t close his mouth.

<Space Expansion> was not a magic that increased the size of a building.

It was a magic that increased a specific space as much as desired.

So, from the outside of the building, nothing has changed.

Using this magic, you can turn your room into an indoor amusement park without others noticing.

hiss-

I took the golden statue out of my inventory.

Oh oh!

Director Kim began examining the golden statue with eyes full of awe.

“I’ve never heard of anything this big!”

Huge golden statues that are several tens of meters high are located in many parts of the world.

However, all of them were plated with gold applied only on the outside.

Among the Buddha statues filled with gold to the inside, the largest was in Thailand and weighed about 5.5 tons.

However, the Buddha statue was not 24K pure gold and was about 80% pure.

In any case, the 100-ton gold statue was unprecedented.

“Quickly measure the purity first.”

“Yes, Chairman!”

To measure the purity, the pieces of the golden statue were separated and spread on the basement floor.

Director Kim took samples from each piece.

Then, the purity of the sample was measured using a purity tester.

Director Kim, who finished the measurement, exclaimed in surprise.

“Awesome! All pieces are over 95% pure! Where the hell did all this great stuff come from? Its value as gold alone is enormous, but its cultural value is also enormous!”

The cultural value of the golden statue is not important to me.

The only thing that mattered to me was the pure gold content.

95% pure.

The total weight of the golden statue is 100 tons, so you can get 95 tons of pure gold when you finish refining.

At today’s market price, it was worth about 7 trillion won.

‘It’s worth the hard work.’

Now, all that was left was to refine and absorb the gold.

It would be nice if it could be refined with magic, but I haven’t acquired that ability yet.

There is no way that Alan, who was an alchemist, could not have put knowledge like a golden tablet into a leaf.

It’s just that I haven’t been handed that knowledge yet.

But it doesn’t matter.

Because modern science and technology can refine gold to a high purity.

Gold statues can be refined into 99.99 pure gold by building a refinery.

But there were some problems.

‘I don’t have the money to build a factory.’

There was over 1 trillion won in cash in the inventory.

However, since the source of the money was unknown, it could not be used as it was.

The only money I could confidently spend was the money I won at the casino, but there wasn’t much left.

36 billion won was not that much money.

Buying a 10 billion won house in Cheongdam-dong,

I bought a workshop and nearby forest in Icheon,

Bought several cars and motorcycles,

The gold and silver room interior,

I spent so much time here and there that I didn’t have much time left.

‘I’ve been using it for a while, so I don’t have it.’

So I had to spend the money in my inventory.

hiss-

I put the Golden Award and Chief Kim back into my inventory.

Sussuk-

And the size of the basement was returned to its original size.

Even if it was left in a large state, only the elixir would be wasted.

hiss-

And he took out managing director Kim Yeong-chan from the inventory.

He checked the date on his cell phone and asked me.

“Did you get Chairman Chun’s slush fund?”

“I applied without leaving a single penny in Korea.”

Managing Director Kim checked Internet news related to Chairman Chun on his cell phone.

“Thanks to you, I lived, thank you!”

I was the lifesaver to Kim, as I saved him from the triads and even moved President Chun far away.

“I have something for you.”

“Speak! I will do anything within my power!”

Prior to working at Angel Capital, Managing Director Kim was a ‘financial expert’ who had worked for several foreign financial companies.

Now is the chance to use him properly.

“I spend a lot of money. I have to build a big factory, and I have to buy a special machine for riding when I go abroad.”

Director Kim understood what I was saying and nodded.

“All right. I will prepare a washing machine that can clean any amount of money.”
