How a Calamity Necromancer Retires

“Yeah.”

The size of the great plains of Africa looked down from the plane was truly staggering.

Even if you look down from the sky, you cannot see the end of the endless plains.

The agronomist who accompanied me then said.

“The Great Plains of the Central African Republic are classified as Tier 3 agricultural land.”

“Level 3? So, is there a first class and a second class?”

Are you different than you think?

Then the agronomist smiled and said, as if he had read my disappointment.

“For your reference, there are up to level 9, so level 3 is an advanced level. The reason Africans are poor and hungry in the first place is not because the land is bad, but because security and politics are unstable.”

“Oh oh! is it so? How about Korea?”

“…Most of Korea is between 5th grade and 7th grade.”

It is also a land cursed with resources.

“You mean that all of that vast land is more fertile than Korea?”

“you’re right. It is a land larger than the entire area of Korea.”

“Can you grow cotton here?”

“First of all, cotton is a tropical plant. So both China and India grow cotton in warm regions.”

It is perfect.

It’s absolutely perfect.

Then, in the Great Plains, a group of creatures are seen passing by.

“Isn’t it an animal…?”

that’s a monster.

It was a low-level beast-type monster called Tulcan.

At that time, Tulcan attacks and eats the deer that roamed the Great Plains.

“Isn’t that a completely ecosystem-destroying species?”

I said with a bright smile.

“This is why all alien species must be eradicated. don’t worry. If you wait a little bit, I’ll destroy them all.”

“Hello! Mr. Han!”

As soon as we arrived at the airport, we were escorted to the Presidential Palace and met Chiamaka, the President of the Central African Republic.

It is said that he is a dictator who has maintained his presidency for 20 years, but Central Africa itself is a very poor country, so everyone is not interested, and he has not committed anything particularly evil, so he has managed to maintain it well until now.

‘what. That’s none of my business.’

The only thing that matters to me right now is the huge abandoned octo in the Central African Republic.

The Central African Republic has a land size six times that of South Korea, but its population is only 5 million, less than one-tenth of that of South Korea. It was only in and around the densely populated capital city.

In other words, except for the vicinity of the capital, all other areas are areas that I do not mind cultivating as farmland.

I said, shaking hands with President Chiamaca.

“Hello.”

After saying hello and sitting down, Chiamaca pointed to the man next to him and said something, which the interpreter translated.

“It’s called Dagan, the greatest Awakener in Central Africa.”

As far as I know, there is not a single SS class in Central Africa.

To be precise, I was there, but I was scouted to America and now I am an American.

That means that guy is S-class.

I bowed lightly with Dagan and asked what I was curious about.

“Looking at it from the plane, it looks like there are quite a few monsters. Is this side safe?”

“When the monsters first come out of the gate, they wander in all directions, but after a while they settle down in a place they like and form a territory. In addition, monsters also hunt each other, so the number of monsters is maintained. So if you handle the gates on this side well and block the monsters that come over from time to time, there is nothing very dangerous.”

That means monsters are living in that prairie, building their own ecosystem.

Of course, since I’m here, it’ll all be an old story.

Well, this is enough for small talk, shall we go straight to the main topic?

I said with a relaxed expression.

“The fact that there is nothing very dangerous means that there are dangerous things, right? But now you can rest assured. As you may have heard beforehand, I would like to do some farming by clearing land in Central Africa. Of course, we will clean up the monsters at the same time.”

Then Chiamaca smiled brightly and said.

“I say welcome. Chairman Han, who is of the SS rank, says that if the monsters in the land are dealt with, the people will be able to live more peacefully.”

Of course you should welcome

It’s like the land that I’ve been completely neglected in the meantime is coming back.

In addition, if Seron farms on a large scale and exports, he will be able to collect huge taxes.

I don’t know, but in the situation of the Central African Republic, wouldn’t it come out more than half of the total GDP?

At that time, Chiamaca suddenly said with a troubled expression.

“But the land sale you mentioned is a bit difficult.”

“why?”

“It is said that selling all of that large land to one company is practically the same as handing over part of the country.”

what.

It was a land that was treated as non-existent anyway.

“So, why not rent it out? They said they would only charge $1 a year per hectare.”

One hectare is about 3,000 pyeong, and if you charge only $1 a year for it, it is definitely an incredibly cheap price.

But that’s like killing a dog and giving it away.

“So you’re saying that Central Africa will eat all the land I developed by cleaning monsters and cultivating it?”

“In return, they said they would guarantee the lease period for 60 years.”

“Whether it’s 60 years or 600 years, why do I have to go through hard times to clean up monsters in a land that doesn’t belong to me?”

Why should I do good to others?

The only thing I need to be a good person is Korea, where I plan to retire.

“Unconditional purchase. The purchase price is ten dollars per hectare.”

The size of the plains I am currently proposing to buy in Central Africa is 20 million hectares.

It was an area equivalent to the combined area of North and South Korea.

“Then $200 million. We will remit this much as soon as the contract is signed.”

A little over 200 billion won in Korean money.

This amount is less than half of the monthly sales of Saeron shoes, so it is worth investing in.

“It’s a play ground anyway. If I clear the land, it will be safe and the tax revenue will increase dramatically, so why don’t you just go easy?”

Besides, while this amount is not a big deal to me, it is a huge amount for Central Africa.

Central African Republic takes only 600 billion won in annual tax revenue from 5 million people.

The Central African Republic is a very poor country, to the extent that a country’s annual tax revenue is less than the sales of one of the Seron Group affiliates.

If you can sell the abandoned land in such a situation and collect 200 billion won, it’s absolutely not a bad story, right?

“In addition, we will provide a skeleton for security as a service.”

What a security service.

Is there any service more coveted than this for a dictator who is sensitive about safety enough to bring his country’s strongest Awakener to a meeting?

Chiamaca said with her eyes shining.

“Are you referring to the skeleton for bodyguards that I’ve only heard about?”

“yes. We’ll even provide you with three A-ranks.”

Of course, this service was not provided just for the good of Chiamaca.

If the power suddenly changes, it’s obvious that the policies of the existing power will also be overturned, right?

Even here, Africa High is famous for its unstable politics and security.

It’s been cleared at best, but if the revolutionaries or rebels push out Chiamaca and then make a fuss about the dictator’s projects being invalid, it’s very embarrassing for me as a law-abiding person.

“ah! And I’m not trying to do anything with skeletons. What will my trust be if a skeleton attacks a protected target? Besides, from my point of view, it is advantageous for the president to be in good health.”

At my words, Chiamaca pondered for a moment before speaking.

“If that’s the case, I’ll accept it.”

yes.

How can you refuse such good service?

“How about paying the amount instead? Calculate the purchase price at $8 per hectare and put the remaining $2 profit into a separate account.”

This bastard is said to be a dictator and has a good reputation, and in the meantime, he is thinking of making a slush fund.

If you have a lot of money, even if you don’t, you should think about helping the poor people.

I said waving my finger.

“No! I do not dip my hands in muddy water.”

I’m sorry if this stuff puts a stain on my retirement life.

“Let’s just relax. If you keep doing this, will you go to South Sudan?”

Originally, I chose two candidates, South Sudan and Central African Republic.

However, I excluded South Sudan because the road infrastructure that connects to the sea is the worst.

At my bluff, Chiamaca, who had been thinking for a while, nodded and said,

“I would like to know. I will accept all the conditions you have just said.”

“okay!”

I said, holding out the contract I had prepared in advance.

“ruler. If you stamp here, the money will be deposited directly into your account.”

“Ahh!”

I stretch out my arms and enjoy the vast plains.

“You mean this is all my land?”

All of the vast plains that I can’t even see the end of are my land.

To think that I, who had lived without a single room, now have a piece of land the size of the entire Korean peninsula.

It should be said that it is strong in a different sense from minerals.

Also, people must own real estate.

of course.

“Kieek?”

Although there are trespassers called monsters.

After killing the monster at once by blowing the bones, I said while looking at the agronomist touching the ground.

“how is it? Is it worth clearing?”

“Since the river is right nearby, it is easy to draw waterways and the land is quite fertile. However, the problem is that there are many useless things, including weeds, that have been neglected for so long…”

“What should I do?”

“First of all, the basics of clearing is to overturn the land. The deeper the ground, the more nutrients it contains.”

“How deep should I go?”

“The deeper the better. ah. And you have to pick out something like a big stone. Then you have to apply fertilizer to make the land good for farming. ha.”

The agronomist shook his head and said.

“Anyway, it looks like it will take an incredibly long time to clear all of this wide land.”

“Anyway, the land is large, so can’t we grow it roughly? Do you have to make sure that each land has the best conditions to grow? I think we can accept the decrease in production per pyeong and just push it to the size of the land.”

The agronomist, who was dumbfounded by my words, said.

“That, too, must be a method.”

“Good. Anyway, you have to dig the rocks as deep as possible and pick out the stones, you mean?”

“you’re right.”

“Do I have to deal with monsters at the same time?”

“yes.”

I said to the interpreter.

“Ask the official who came with you if anyone lives on my land.”

Of course, I wonder if people will live in this land with monsters everywhere, but you never know, right?

The interpreter spoke with a government official and said:

“Of course no one said it.”

“Good good. Then what is the monster level?”

“It is said that the strongest is A-class. Even if a new A-class gate appears there, the number of objects is always kept the same because it competes with the existing A-class for territory.”

It’s literally a monster ecosystem.

A real ecosystem that naturally controls the population.

“Isn’t there an S class?”

“I know it hasn’t happened yet.”

“Then it’s no big deal.”

Just at the expected level.

The reason this land was abandoned is not because mankind is weak, but because there is no reason to go through the hard work of recovering this land.

In the first place, it was abandoned due to the lack of gate management skills in Central Africa, but what’s the use of eradicating all the monsters now?

It would be the same again anyway.

If so, Awoken should be deployed on a large scale and managed thoroughly, but there is no Awakener who would want to continue to exist in this barren land where there is nothing.

In addition, there are only a few monsters that come over if you manage the area around the metropolitan area well, so I just thought it was like that.

But I’m different.

I need this land, and at the same time, there is an undead army that will beat monsters 24 hours a day without stopping even in this wasteland.

In other words, this land is the best place for me.

I immediately opened the subspace and summoned the large underwater mining skeleton I had prepared for reserve.

Unlike worker skeletons, large skeletons made at a fairly high level to withstand water pressure and damage water while moving on the seabed.

“see. You must have equipment to overthrow the ground, right? Reverse the rake and lengthen it sideways.”

I created a 20m wide reverse rake with my bones in an instant like that.

I immediately started adding various magic circles to the large skeleton.

“Continue to go straight, turn back at about 10km, and this time push along the line next to the dug out… Okay! ruler. Give it a try.”

At my words, the large skeleton rammed the reverse pitchfork into the ground and slowly moved forward.

Then, between the reverse rake, the soil is broken and the land is turned upside down.

“how is it? Enough of this.”

The agronomist, who had been watching the scene blankly, said.

“this. That’s enough.”

“ah. You said you had to choose a stone too, right?”

This time, take out a worker skeleton and a transport skeleton from subspace and add a magic circle right away.

“Choose a large stone… put it on the carrier, and when it’s full, come here and throw it away. end!”

Then, the skeletons that kept digging through the ground, stuck behind the advancing large skeletons, picking out the stones from the ground.

“Now, what if I summon an escort skeleton and accompany it? complete!”

A skeleton unit that automatically started clearing the ground under the protection of an escort skeleton whose attack restrictions were lifted.

Now, this skeleton unit will clear the land without a break for 24 hours, and at the same time, it will take care of the monsters that attack it.

I turned and looked at the agronomist.

“Do you want to go back and rest today?”

“yes?”

“Now, those guys will take care of cultivating the land indefinitely. Of course, I only put them there for testing, and if there are no problems in the future, I plan to make dozens of units like that and release them.”

A unit that kills two birds with one stone, clearing the land and killing monsters at the same time.

Of course, since it is made on the spot, unexpected situations may occur, so you should wait a few days.

“Then you have to farm first on the land that has been cleared! In the meantime, those guys will continue to clear the land and clean the monsters without stopping.”

The agronomist shook his head and said.

“Was it so easy to clear the land… Normally, you have to use a crane to dig the ground all day and use people to pick out stones…”

“I guess it’s because I haven’t gotten used to it yet. Seron is like this.”

I have to keep working with Saeron for a while, but I have to adapt.

I said with a bright smile.

“ruler! let’s go. Since President Chiamaca is throwing a party, let’s enjoy an African party.”

“OMG!!”

I stretched out and said.

“I slept well!”

I slept late after drinking and playing at a party hosted by President Chiamaca.

I rubbed my eyes and said.

“Africa is also quite surprising.”

It was definitely a party hosted by the president, so the food was delicious and there were plenty of things to see.

“When I retire later, let’s build a villa here too.”

I’ll have my own land. This is enough to come when I want to play differently from time to time.

“ah. Come to think of it, a clearing unit.”

Yesterday, when I was about to start eating dinner, the skeleton’s reverse rake that was plowing the ground got caught on a huge rock and couldn’t move forward.

So I took direct control and passed the stone and kept clearing it.

“Next time, I’ll have to make it automatically avoid large stones.”

It’s stones, so you can pull them out or smash them later.

“Are you doing well?”

The moment he closed his eyes and tried to take control of the large skeleton at the head of the clearing unit.

“···uh?”

Unable to connect with large skeletons.

“what.”

Successive attempts were made to connect with other skeletons, but all connections were broken.

“uh?”

I said with a puzzled expression.

“Did you get hurt?”

As soon as I confirmed that there was no connection, I flew to the clearing and found the bones of a horribly smashed skeleton.

I said, checking the bones.

“It’s completely wrecked.”

The strongest entity is A-class, and since most A-class work individually, a total of 20 or so battle skeletons were deployed, including two A-class for escort.

At this level, no matter how weak the anti-monster algorithm is, since the basic ability is an ability, it’s not a job to deal with at least one A-rank monster.

So I enjoyed the party safely, but I never thought it would all be destroyed in one day.

“Are there S-class monsters? Didn’t you say that there was only A-class?”

Then the official was embarrassed and told the interpreter.

“It is said that only Class A has been found so far.”

The fact that only A-class was discovered means that there may be an S-class that has not been discovered.

I thought about it for a while, then smiled and said.

“I think I took this too easily.”

This is an ecosystem created by monsters who have settled on Earth.

Of course, when you push this huge ecosystem, there is a reaction according to it.

I threw the shattered bones to the floor and opened the subspace.

“Does this bring back old memories?”

I thought I would just have to make a clearing unit and turn it on like a robot vacuum cleaner to deal with the monsters that run into it, but I was too complacent.

What the land needs right now is active, large-scale eradication.

“Cleaning and clearing were not to be done at the same time, but cleaning came first.”

The skeletons for combat that had been piled up in my subspace continued to pour in and lined up behind me at the same time.

The first total sortie of the Undead Corps, which has begun rebuilding since returning to Earth.

“I will show you what I am best at.”

I took a step forward and smiled.

“let’s go. Guys. It is a war.”
