I Became a Food Developer in Another World-Chapter 100 - : Magic Refrigerator (1)

The principle of the magic refrigerator was the same as that of the refrigerator or air conditioner in a previous life.

It was the magic refrigerator that lowered the temperature by vaporizing liquid and absorbing the surrounding heat.

Of course, while the principles were the same, the internal designs were completely different and could be considered entirely separate entities.

This world was one where alchemy and magic existed instead of science.

"It's done. I engraved the compression-vaporization overlapping magic formula, so it will work well now."

"As expected of Ayla."

"It's nothing special. Transformation magic is the specialty of our Blue Tower."

The mature woman, resembling Aria, responded to my compliment as if it were no big deal.

Even though she said that, her ears perked up, and she looked pleased.

"You're still as weak to compliments as ever."

Ayla Evanail.

She was Aria's sister and a promising mage of the Blue Tower, and she was the one in charge of the internal magic design of the magic refrigerator.

For reference, Ayla mistakenly thinks she has a good poker face, but the point is that her ears perk up whenever she's in a good mood, making it obvious to everyone.

"I heard that you have become a disciple of the tower master of the Blue Tower this time. Congratulations."

"Hehe, I was lucky."

After exchanging various greetings with Ayla, I looked at the Magic Refrigerator she had designed.

When I opened the refrigerator, a cool breeze flowed out.

The thermometer installed inside indicated 2℃, and the temperature was being maintained consistently.

In the freezer, a chill settled as if I had come to the Arctic, making my skin feel like it would freeze.

"The temperature has been set the same as the existing magic refrigerators."

"Yes, it seems appropriate."

I nodded with a satisfied expression.

The exact details will be known only after conducting performance tests, but for now, it didn't seem to have any major issues.

'As expected, it was a good idea to get help from the Blue Tower.'

Although we succeeded in recycling the waste magic stones with Iberkina's help, the Magic Refrigerator did not operate solely on magic stones.

The magic stone was merely an energy source; the "refrigeration magic" with its complex principles was essential for the magic-powered refrigerator.

However, since our Magic Tower does not handle Magic Refrigerators and we lacked the relevant knowledge, we completed the Magic Refrigerator with the help of the Blue Tower.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ayla."

Praising Ayla's hard work, I talked about the dessert I had prepared for her.

"There is mint chocolate gelato in the lobby, so feel free to take some with you if you'd like."

"Just in time. I don't eat it, but our fellow disciples like it. If you give it to me, I will gratefully accept it."

Ayla answered, adding unnecessary words that weren't even asked.

On the other hand, the ears, honest about their emotions, were perked up like wings.

That contrasting appearance was so cute that I couldn't help but chuckle.

"Please tell the disciples to enjoy the meal."

"Yes, I'll pass it on."

Through the technical partnership with the Blue Tower, we completed the production process of Magic Refrigerator, and a week later.

"It's perfect, the temperature is stable, and there haven't been any defective products."

After completing the performance test of Magic Refrigerator, Ciel said.

"The magic power consumption is also found to be up to 20% less than the market's magic energy drink. It's really amazing."

She kept flicking her tongue while talking.

But this was an inevitable outcome.

Our Magic Refrigerator was an item that combined the 'Freezing Magic' of the vampire obtained from Lilith with the technical knowledge of the Blue Tower.

The vampire's freezing magic was a step ahead of human magic, so it was only natural that it was more efficient.

And above all.

The price is through the roof.

Just '25 gold'.

The lowest-priced Magic Refrigerator in the otherworld has been born.

*

Magic Refrigerator is an expensive "luxury item."

It would be nice to have, but not having it doesn't cause much inconvenience; that was the charm of the magic refrigerator.

That makes sense, as the food culture in the other world was dominated by "preserved foods" like bacon, smoked herring, and cheese, so rice wasn't a staple in their daily lives.

Since food spoils easily, people have considered going grocery shopping once a day as 'common sense.'

Since it had always been done that way, no one questioned it.

However, as the food culture of this world, which had been centered around "preserved foods," transitioned to a culture of "processed foods," people began to express their discomfort.

"Are you telling me to drink this flat cola right now?"

"The Summer hunt has completely melted."

"Why is the milk so warm?"

Cold desserts like gelato and ice cream, carbonated drinks including cider and cola, and processed foods suitable for refrigeration such as milk and beer have been appearing one after another, making people realize the necessity of refrigeration.

This was a side effect that arose because processed foods, invented after the refrigerator, were released before the refrigerator.

Frozen foods appeared after the invention of the freezer, and the same goes for refrigerated foods.

The contradiction that occurred in the 'reverse order' of the invention.

The civilization of the other world was experiencing a bizarre development where everything was turned upside down.

And it all blew up because of the release of the 'frozen chicken.'

"We don't have a magic refrigerator at our house..."

"It melts so quickly that the expiration date seems meaningless."

If there was no refrigerator, frozen chicken couldn't be stored.

Even so, buying a magic refrigerator was too expensive.

Frozen chicken has become a food that you have to buy and heat up on the spot.

However, due to the immense popularity of frozen chicken, people had to line up every day just to get a taste.

It has become difficult to enjoy it easily at the desired time.

It was at that time when citizens were experiencing the ironic phenomenon of being both pleased and uncomfortable with the release of frozen chicken.

"Owner, what is this?"

As usual, the man who bought frozen chicken and was warming it in the inn's hearth tilted his head in confusion upon seeing the unfamiliar white cupboard.

But.

"Can't you tell by looking? It's a magic refrigerator."

"...What!? You bought that expensive magic refrigerator?

"That's right, they say the White Tower collaborated with the Blue Tower to develop it."

"Looks like business is doing well for you these days. You brought all this expensive stuff in."

In an instant, a full bloom of smiles appeared on the innkeeper's face.

"Haha, you didn't do much."

"Don't lie, who doesn't know that the price of a magic refrigerator is worth the value of a house?"

"Well, I guess that's really the case. I didn't do much. It's probably the cheapest one among the magic refrigerator."

"How cheap can a magic refrigerator be, anyway?"

The man scoffed.

He, a rural farmer, also knew well that the magic refrigerator was a valuable item worth hundreds of gold.

Even when the magic stone runs out and needs to be replaced, just the cost of the magic stone alone was a laughable hundred gold.

But the innkeeper just kept grinning.

"Don't be surprised when you hear it."

"Don't beat around the bush, just tell me. I won't be surprised."

"Twenty-five gold."

The man tilted his head in confusion.

"Are you saying 250 gold?"

"No, I said twenty-five gold."

The man blinked for a while.

Then.

"...What?!"

A scream-like sound burst forth.

[ Blue Tower X White Tower Vampire Magic Refrigerator Release! ]

[ Only 25 gold! ]

[ Please contact the nearest store! ]

It was the moment when the 25-gold ultra-low-priced magic refrigerator was released.

*

Vampire's refrigeration technology had already been proven through 'milk'.

However, the magic refrigerator equipped with the vampire's refrigeration technology has been released.

"Oh my, a Vampire Magic Refrigerator!"

"This is something I can trust and buy."

For the citizens of the empire who had been suffering with "flour milk," there was an underlying perception that "refrigeration = vampire."

How much has refrigeration technology advanced with the release of Lilith's Milk?

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the structure of the retail industry changed overnight.

The citizens of the empire, who had experienced that sense of being left behind, warmly welcomed the release of the Vampire Magic Refrigerator.

However.

"25 gold? Is this for real?"

No matter how they look at it, it seems like a scam. It doesn't make any sense.

People who checked the prices listed on the flyer scoffed and threw the paper away.

That makes sense, as the price of the existing magic refrigerators was 120 gold at its lowest.

25 gold was nearly five times cheaper.

It was an amount that didn't make sense logically. Even the refrigeration technology of the vampire is included.

"If you're going to scam, you should do it properly. Five times less is too much."

"This wouldn't even fool our ten-year-old son."

"Did they steal the name of the tower?"

The conditions written on the flyer were too unrealistic to believe easily.

However, people's distrust did not last long.

"Come and see the Vampire Magic Refrigerator!"

"It's the Vampire Magic Refrigerator!"

The stores have started bringing in Vampire Magic Refrigerator and displaying it in their shops.

People who visited the store out of curiosity had no choice but to believe once they saw it with their own eyes.

"Geez, it's really the Vampire Magic Refrigerator!"

"...Oh my, it even has a freezer?"

It has really been released.

A mere 25 gold for a magical item!

"I will buy it!"

"I'll sign the contract too!"

There was no hesitation.

Everyone rushed to the store to buy the Vampire Magic Refrigerator.

The world was gradually moving from an era of preservation into an era of refrigeration.
