Chapter 71: Enfer Trip [1]
I was trying to create a kind of Monopoly, a wealth-building board game based on world travel.
In Earth, it was released under names like Everybody's Marble. The rules are simple, making it a fantastic business idea. However, it couldn't be made in the exact same way.
The papermaking and printing technology here is not very good.
The paper was all parchment or pseudo-papyrus made from reeds.
Of course, there was no such thing as woodblock printing. So, I chose thin wooden boards instead of paper as my material.
It was a labor-intensive task, but it didn't really matter. This would start as a game for the nobles.
Anyway, similar imitations would overflow in the future.
"Your Excellency the Governor, the prototype has been completed," Electra said, handing over the item with an uncertain expression.
But to my eyes, it seemed pretty plausible, mainly because my expectations were so low.
"I just need to add some more color here. I'll make a separate storage unit too. Here's the new drawing."
"I'll make it right away. But, Your Excellency the Governor, is there a problem?"
"If you look at the rulebook, it says that gold coins are required. Shouldn't you also make fake money and put it in?"
"Oh, I didn't make it on purpose."
"Yes?"
"This is a real money game."
Originally, the target audience for this item was high-ranking nobles.
Why would I want to decorate it as luxuriously as possible?
I'm all doing that to sell it at a high price.
Those of relatively high status were all thirsty for something to enjoy. Since there were no toys, they even went as far as eating food and vomiting. It was an attempt to relieve boredom through food and drink.
"Fake money is too weak a stimulus for the aristocracy."
If i do as Electra says, they'll probably introduce gold coins on their own.
In that case, they should have made it a crazy gambling game involving cash from the beginning.
I'll release the mild version later.
"Ah, I understand." Although it was a brief explanation, Electra nodded quickly. As expected, he's smart.
"By the way, what is the name of this game? I understand that the cities written on each square are imperial lands."
"The name is... Let's go with Enfer Trip."
"Imperial Journey. What a perfect name."
"Just wait a minute." I quickly played with the quill. The words 'Enfer Trip' are written in the most stylish way possible.
I took calligraphy classes at the library, and I never thought it would come in handy here.
"Please engrave it on the top of the storage box and the rule board. It would also be nice to put it in the center of the game board."
"Alright."
"Then please endure it a little longer."
"Haha! How could it be hard? It's just what I've always done."
Electra's expression was confident.
My compliments seemed to have had a pretty positive effect. It seemed likely that this time too, a fairly high-quality prototype would be produced.
'It seems like all the work instructions have been given.'
The expansion of the factory was left to the hands of the craftsmen and artisans.
How do I distribute it? That too was a very easy task.

Anyway, the target audience is high-ranking nobles. Since the single-cycle and consumer base are the same, it would have been enough to send it together to the upper level.
"Wait a minute, I didn't think about that. I have to eat all the distribution to increase my profits."
Most nobles had at least one upper class.
It was to sell local specialties or to easily procure necessary supplies.
But the Carriers' Duchy had no upper hand.
'There is nothing to offer except wine, and most of it is consumed in the capital.'
Of course, it must have existed in the past.
That was back when the Carriers Duchy was doing well. Anyway, it was about time to start building the top.
'I guess I'll have to start with the Western Nations Alliance for now.'
With the experience I have accumulated, I need to expand my business area to the empire. I ran straight to the Governor-General's Office and looked for Hojaein.
The idea was to get some advice from local administrators.
But then I heard an unexpected words.
"You're opening the top?"
"Yes."
"Then, I have someone I can recommend."
"Really? Who are you to be so confident?"
"Kuro Allegan is a very smart guy…."
Chin!
I put my hand on Hojaein's shoulder.
Then, the brightly smiling face slowly hardened. It seemed as if he had figured out the meaning of the smile that appeared on my lips.
"If it's Allegan, isn't he a relative of the consul?"
"…"
I have a really good memory for things like this. Then Hojaein quickly flapped both his hands.
"Well, in Deliat, surnames are divided into two categories: Allegan and Omir."
"Aha?"
In Vietnam, about 28% of the people were Nguyen. I think it would be okay to understand it that way.
"What did Kuro do originally?"
"My little brother is just lazing around at home."
No, this guy?
He said they are not relatives! When I looked at him with a dumbfounded expression, Hojaein smiled awkwardly and added a word.
"Haha! The man you give up is not considered a blood relative."
"Then shouldn't you recommend it even more?"
"But he once ran a top company. It was doing pretty well before it was destroyed by the Empire's invasion."
According to Hojaein, he seemed like a pretty capable person. I thought it would be a good idea to at least meet up. Since it's a recommendation from the butler, it can't be completely random.

The Deliat Autonomous Region is currently experiencing a tremendous economic boom. Because a kind of New Deal policy was being implemented.
"We have made a huge difference in our community by providing financial and material support."
"A reward will be given."
It was truly the first holographic text in a long time. Originally, Skyler Sierra should have been put in jail and received punishment that he deserves.
That golden child was blown away by the wind as he slipped away like a loach.
'What will it be this time?'
I always feel this way, but this system is so fucking unfriendly.
