## Chapter 1716 – Chronicles of the Black-Haired Foreigner – The Life of a Transcendent Being
“Kheu-heo-eo-eo! As expected, mana is great! I’ve drunk this much and I’m not even tipsy! Uwaaaaaaaa!”
In the end, Copson, completely hammered, climbed onto the table and raised his hands in the air.
“I don’t know why I learned this so late! It’s hard to train, but! If I can drink this much without any problems, I can invest more time in it! Uwaaaaaaaa!”
“Heu-ha-ha-ha-ha! Aish, this crazy bastard!”
He’s really acting like a damn fool, this crazy bastard!
Well, it’s true that many people become like this when they get deeply into mana training.
In the Cheonma Divine Kingdom, mana training is like a very expensive gym membership on Earth.
Earthlings exercise and build muscle for health and attractiveness. Investing time in that is a very positive thing.
Of course, there’s a similar gym culture in the Cheonma Divine Kingdom. Exercise is good for you. But all the rich people are doing mana training. It’s hard for ordinary people to do mana training. It’s okay if you have talent, but most people in the world don’t have talent for mana.
If someone without talent wants to learn mana, it costs a lot of money. And even if you learn it, it’s quite difficult. Even though Copson looks like that, he’s investing about five hours a day in mana.
Everyone would be dying if they had to work out for five hours, but he’s working really hard.
“And! I can eat as much food as I want! These greasy snacks keep going in! And I don’t get fat…! I can’t believe it! Mana is really great!”
Of course, if Copson keeps doing that at his current level, he’ll become morbidly obese again… He’s made some progress, but he’s still a noob.
“Right? It’s really great, isn’t it? Then cut ties with women and marry mana.”
If you can control mana a little more, you might be able to create the form of a wife with mana. There’s magic that creates forms of mana like that. You know, the magic that creates a sword shape with mana and shoots it out is that kind of magic.
But if that exists, why haven’t humans thought of creating mana wives until now? Or maybe it exists, but they’re using it secretly and we don’t know?
“Preposterous! Gal! Gal! Gaaaaaaaal!!!”
Copson, drunk and red-faced, spat out a “gal” with almost fiery intensity. He’s been using that well since he learned it from me.
“Heu-heu-heu, hey. Hey. What’s preposterous, you idiot. You know there’s magic that creates a sword with your mana and attacks, right?”
“Hmm? I know something similar.”
“It’s the same thing, you idiot. You can create the shape of a sword with mana, so why can’t you create the shape of a woman? If you reach the pinnacle of mana, you can do that-“
“Is that really true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
This guy’s reaction?
“Just kidding?”
“What! This barbarian is making fun of me!!! Keuaaaaaia!”
“Aish, look at this guy, he really perked up, keu-ha-ha-ha-ha!”
“Didn’t you have expectations!!!”
This guy was serious!
No. But this mana wife thing might be surprisingly good. If Copson really can’t get married later, I might have to look into that.
And what about those things? Golems? Automata? I don’t know much about them, but if cultural exchange with Earth expands further, it wouldn’t be strange for that kind of business to emerge.
“Hey, hey. But it might really be possible.”
“Stop making fun of me!!!”
“Kilkilkik. Then never mind, you idiot.”
“Why do you keep saying bad things! Uwaaaaaaaa!”
ㅡWhirlick.
When I used telekinesis to lift a beer glass, Copson gulped it down and exhaled.
“Kya! Earth beer is the best!”
“Earth… Right. Speaking of Earth. Hey. There’s something like that these days, right?”
“What are you talking about?”
“That, with computers, huh? There are a lot of programs where you marry a character in a computer.”
“No! What do you take me for! I don’t do that kind of wicked Earth culture!”
Really?
“Really? You haven’t tried it already?”
“That… Of course, I’ve never tried it. No. In the first place, aren’t computers difficult to use? They’re too difficult to use, so I’m not using them well.”
“Want to go to computer school?”
“I don’t want to because I feel like I’ll be treated like an old man if I go there. Young people from wealthy families these days are all good at using computers… Hmm. I don’t have enough time to learn mana, so I can’t even learn that…”
Such difficulties.
Anyway, since the cultural exchange with Earth, this landscape has been changing a lot. It’s a very positive change. I hope that change will benefit Copson as well.
“Then there’s nothing I can do. There’s no way.”
“Isn’t there a way in reality!”
“Yeah, yeah.”
While talking like that, I pick up snacks. Actually, it’s not just snacks, it’s more like a buffet. Would a god and emperor be satisfied with just a few snacks while drinking?
“Hoo. Ah, I think I’m finally getting a little tipsy.”
“Heu-heu-heu, you’re really drunk, you idiot.”
“I don’t feel like it. Haa! I’m getting desperate for marriage! Barbarian. I might even go find Elma!”
“Want to buy insurance?”
“What kind of insurance are you talking about?”
“If you go crazy later and really go back to your hometown, I’ll stop you.”
It’s useless insurance if you say something different then. I’ll definitely stop you.
“That… Hmm… That’s something to think about…”
“Eeo? Is this guy serious?”
“I’m just saying! If it doesn’t work out, I’ll have to go to Elma!”
He’s a man who has everything, but he has a problem with women.
“Actually, I send gifts to my hometown every holiday. I make sure to include Elma’s share separately.”
“Wow! This guy is so devoted! I can’t let this happen! You’re forced to sign up for insurance!”
“What!”
ㅡHwareureuk.
I immediately created a contract with the power of Cheonma and grabbed Copson’s wrist.
“Okay, put your stamp here!”
“Where does it say you can force someone to sign up for insurance! You insurance salesman!”
“Yeah. If the emperor tells you to sign up, you have to sign up no matter what.”
ㅡKkuk.
Successfully stamped by force.
I have to keep this contract.
“Keu-haaaaak!”
“Don’t be too heartbroken. Let’s look for good relationships in the future. Try learning the internet and looking for them. There are fan cafes on the internet.”
It would be good to create a Copson fan cafe.
“The internet… So the answer is the internet?”
“In the internet world, the people of the Cheonma Divine Kingdom are all connected. And if you’re a person from the Cheonma Divine Kingdom, you’ll know about my existence, right? You’re a celebrity.”
“That’s true, but… Hmm! Good! The internet! I’ll have to learn it!”
“It’s good to learn something. Hey. I’ll give you special national funding.”
“Uooooooo! Barbarian! Thank you! As a reward, I’ll pour you a drink myself! Give me your glass!”
That’s how I spent time eating and drinking with Copson until he collapsed. What a pleasant guy.
“Kilkilkik. Yeah. Train your mana and live well for ten thousand years.”
“Of course!!!”
Totally possible.

The time is late dawn. The sun will rise soon. I grabbed the limp Copson with one hand, opened the door to his house, and went inside.
“Ugh, this guy. The state of his room.”
The room is.
“So clean?”
Is it because he uses a housekeeper? Copson was well-off enough to use a housekeeper. So the house was very clean.
“He succeeded.”
Anyway.
I immediately grabbed two blankets and a pillow and went into the bathroom.
“Hey. I’m leaving you here?”
“Snore!”
“Snore my ass.”
I spread the blanket on the floor, placed the pillow, and laid Copson on top of it. And then I covered him with the second blanket.
“See you next time.”
And I was about to open a gate and go back to my room, but suddenly the memory of telling old stories while drinking flashed through my mind. Right. Should I see Lina for a while? I heard she’s doing well, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen her.
Let’s see. It’s almost time for the civil servants to go to work.
“Let’s go.”
ㅡHwareureuk.
I immediately opened a gate and headed to Lina’s workplace. She started as a low-level civil servant, but she’s been promoted as she’s gained experience.
“Ah!”
Speak of the devil. I ran into Lina, who was about to go to work.
“Hey. Are you going to work now? If you were an adventurer, you would have had to go to work an hour earlier. Heu-heu-heu.”
“Hello! It’s been a while!”
Lina bowed 90 degrees as soon as she saw me.
“Oh, yeah.”
She’s grown up a bit and has a sense of responsibility. Let’s see, she’s doing well, so her face is clean overall, except for the fact that she looks a little tired.
“Wow. This guy looks a lot cleaner now? He used to look like a wet dog.”
“Well, of course, I’m doing well now. It’s all thanks to you, Oppa. Thank you always.”
“Yeah. People should know gratitude.”
“Of course. Well, since it’s been a while since I’ve seen you, I’d like to treat you to something. Should I take an emergency leave? No! Please let me treat you!”
“Treat? Then I have to accept.”
“Ah… You’re accepting right away.”
“What’s wrong with you? Were you just saying it out of politeness?”
“I’m kidding! Kidding! Ahahaha!”
Lina laughed brightly and waved her hand. What a funny guy. It’s something I couldn’t have imagined in the old days. So, I got treated by Lina.
“Seriously, you’re treating me at a bakery.”
“My favorite thing is bread. You know. In the old days. You bought me bread while you were working, right?”
“Work? Ah. Right. When you got ripped off with the money I gave you and went to rob the robbers. Was it then?”
I definitely met my soul friend Mersin at that time too.
“Yes! That’s right! I’ve loved bread ever since… Now I’m eating as much as I want.”
I was touched.
“You bread-loving bastard.”
The bread I gave her gave the girl so much joy. Feeling warm, I picked up the bread while stroking my philtrum with my finger.
“It’s tasty.”
“Right?”
Honey taste acknowledged.
