Chapter 565

The largest company in the world by market capitalization is the open world and capsule production company ‘VaRia’.

With a market capitalization of a staggering $5 trillion.

The reason I chose the Samsung Medical Capsule over the VaRia Capsule was simple.

After all, they also trust the same design firm for their subcontracting.

Beep- Beep- Beep-

When the news reports mention that the medical capsule market is growing, it’s synonymous with the growth of the premium capsule market.

Medical capsules provide various health checkup services along with basic mana treatment during the time the user lies inside.

Now do you understand why I call these premium capsules?

It’s like how the cost skyrockets every time you add a health checkup function to a car’s options.

At least cars have a limit for full options, but there’s no such thing for capsules.

This is because there’s no limit to the diseases a human can have.

Welcome to an era where health can be bought with money.

In particular, the idea that poverty comes with interest was more relatable than ever.

It feels wasteful to spend money on this, but let’s buy it for accurate comparison analysis.

The part I was directly involved in designing was this ‘Drimming Mode’.

And it seemed like my dad had just awakened from the Drimming Mode.

I had no way of knowing what he saw inside.

The Alchemist’s mirror unfolds in a space perfectly disconnected from both reality and virtual reality.

Vrrr—

Without needing to wait long, the capsule door opened right away.

“Whew.”

A slight look of loneliness flickered in his eyes before he quickly regained his vitality.

“How was it?”

“It’s a fascinating magic. I can’t believe such a secret was hidden in the Alchemist…”

“How’s your physical condition?”

“I’m not really sure what’s changed.”

“Here, your cholesterol levels changed like this. Take a look.”

My dad, who was closely examining the diagnosis chart, widened his eyes.

“Is this real? It changed this much in just 5 minutes?”

“If not, I guess I’d have to sue the capsule company.”

“Ugh…”

My dad covered his mouth with his hand.

Even in a world where medical magic has advanced to this level, such innovation would be hard to come by.

“By the way, why is the Alchemist’s mirror used together with this?”

“Oh, good question. It’s a bit complicated, but I’ll explain as simply as I can. The Drimming Space is a space separate from the open world provided by VaRia, essentially existing at an intermediate stage between virtual reality and reality. The key to maintaining that state is precisely this magic.”

One can assume a conceptual passage that connects reality to virtual reality, or returns from virtual reality to reality, known as semi-virtual reality.

Up until now, theoretical magicians and engineers have tried to shorten the time it takes to access virtual reality.

But what if you drastically increase the duration instead?

“At this point, the user’s subconscious mental state becomes important. At the very least, they need to recognize that this is an event that happened in reality. No one would sincerely deny a moment they remembered to be their happiest.”

Until now, the magic used in semi-virtual reality could affect the physical body in reality.

Moreover, doing nothing and just receiving treatment would get boring.

I extended another finger alongside my index finger.

“Lastly, the Alchemist filters out abnormal situations as a filtering role.”

The existing Dragonia Nascentia magic is a spell that brings all components of the body to an ideal state.

However, it has been stripped of runes longer than five syllables for commercialization.

Now, it has changed to a method where I have to manually update according to the engraving density.

While the probability is extremely low, there was a consideration for the possibility of a precarious state where poison balances themselves perfectly.

For example, if a patient who overdoses on warfarin has abnormally high vitamin K levels and this is returned to normal, the anticoagulant effect may decrease, increasing the risk of blood clot formation.

Of course, Nascentia magic wouldn’t operate so foolishly, but thorough pre-validation was necessary to prepare for any possible exceptions.

“Essentially, we’re layering magic on magic to preemptively test it. If there are no issues, we proceed; if there are, the Nascentia algorithm would internally find contradictions and put a hold on it.”

I pressed a button firmly.

High-end products naturally come with corresponding high-end technological capabilities.

I proudly introduced this technology to my dad and placed a black gemstone in his hand.

“This is for you, Dad. You need to live long from now on. Okay?”

“Nameya, Dad is not even 60 yet. He’ll live at least 30 more years, why worry already?”

“30 years? No way. Just live 90 more years!”

“Hahaha that’s too much.”

Thump thump thump—

Someone knocked on the container door from the outside.

“Yes, just a moment. I’ll open it.”

A woman with white hair cascading to her waist stood with her arms crossed, waving her hand in greeting.

The principal of Seviron Academy, 구온유.

“Is everything going well? Wow, this place looks sparkling. You’ve made it look like a secret research lab.”

“What brings you here?”

“What do you mean, why I’m here? It’s the principal’s duty to check for safety issues, right?”

“Hmmm…”

I stared intently at Principal 구온유.

“I came because I was bored, I was bored. Gyu-Jin, I can’t lie to this kid because I’m scared.”

“Tsk, tsk, with a principal like you.”

“By the way, shall we go for lunch? I’m treating today.”

“Please don’t say it’s the school lunch.”

“Ah, you caught me.”

“I had a feeling it would be like that.”

We left the container and walked along a path overgrown with weeds.

The laughter of children began to faintly reach our ears.

After a little walking, we came across the elementary school playground.

An unused area behind the Seviron Academy elementary building.

It was also the place where I established my personal factory after graduating.

Once I gather enough capital later, I plan to take over the academy completely.

I named the gemstone that allows access to semi-virtual reality ‘Dreamstone’.

After completing the improved connector, things proceeded at lightning speed.

Going out to sell Dream Stones directly here is something only amateurs do.

A true expert would make and sell the machine that produces Dream Stones.

You capsule companies handle finding gems, etching them, and completing all processes yourselves.

And sorry, but I’ll take all the profits from the Drimming Mode membership.

Do the client companies seem like they would entertain my unreasonable requests?

Of course, they had no choice but to comply.

[Dream Stone I can prevent/preserve the following symptoms/diseases or significantly improve them in some cases.]

[Allergic Rhinitis, Sinusitis, Asthma, Gastro-esophageal Reflux Disease, Tonsillitis, Diabetes Mellitus, Hypoglycemia, Metabolic Syndrome, Pancreatitis, Iron Deficiency Anemia, Hepatitis, Cirrhosis, Kidney Failure, Hypoparathyroidism, Typhoid Fever, Malaria, Cholera, Other Parasitic Infections]

[Future Dream Stone II will include the following treatment items.]

[Basal Cell Carcinoma, Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Breast Cancer, Prostate Cancer, Hodgkin Lymphoma, Colorectal Cancer, Melanoma, Renal Cell Carcinoma, Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, Atherosclerosis, Stroke, Hypertension, Hyperlipidemia]

It would be great if it could be cured through the Drimming Mode, but it’s still impossible due to the density issue.

That problem will be improved to get closer to Dragonia Nascentia as the version increases.

In the meantime, while using the capsule, it’s possible to preserve and alleviate the condition.

For patients waiting months for treatment, this must be an invaluable opportunity.

Now the medical capsule will be judged on whether or not it contains the Drimming Mode.

Furthermore, the emergence of low-cost medical capsules is inevitable in accordance with the logic of the capitalist market.

It’s a simple matter of stripping all functions from the capsule and just including the Drimming Mode.

I sent bidding announcements to each company.

By the end of September, no matter how much I could create, the maximum equipment I could make is ten.

How many gemstones could be engraved simultaneously with one equipment would depend on the capabilities of each company.

Beyond that, I wouldn’t be involved, so they’ll have to figure it out.

Also, the production equipment for Dream Stone 2 will be supplied first to the companies that purchased 1.

In this way, Jansol was on the brink of becoming the super buyer (乙), crushing the buyer (갑).

For now, let’s start at 200 billion won per unit.

It has never been viewed favorably for CEOs to be overly active on social media.

But on one weekend in August.

Surprisingly, CEOs of renowned companies around the world left brief texts.

It all started with the CEO of VaRia.

-Crazy News from No Name.

Investors obsessed with the Nameju theme sensed something.

They were sure that there would be a massive wave on Monday.
