chapter 28
Episode 28
hee-na muttered involuntarily at the ridiculous conditions.
“What, are there all these crappy classes?”
“That’s a bit harsh.”
“Hmph. Sorry.”
Hee-na clamped her mouth shut after she spoke. Hee-won threw up her hands as if she had no choice.
“At least I’m not a mangstat like you, so my stats made me worthy of the hunter job.”
She didn’t forget to point out Hee-Na’s crappy stats in a vindictive way.
“Well, I’m glad you did.”
They were a good brother and sister.
After getting to know each other’s class, Hee-Na and Hee-Won talked about all sorts of things.
It was only natural that Hee-won’s story of working in a sweatshop as a job scam would come up.
“I thought my skills would never be used, but I went there and used my shoveling skills. I was a first-class slave, and they were so good to me.”
Hee-won bragged that his shoveling skills went from a D to a B while working in the open-pit mine.
“Is that good…… good?”
Hee-Na wasn’t sure what to make of the story.
“Sadly, you were a slave, but it’s also good that you were the best of the slaves…….
Hee-won was always like that, finding positives in the strangest places.
Meanwhile, Hee-won, who was sprawled out on the floor, sat up and asked, “By the way, Hee-na, where was I?
“By the way, Hee-na, how did you end up in the unregistered dungeon I was in? You said you accidentally fell in during overtime, how is that possible?”
“I don’t know, I wiped the coin or something and it glowed, and I was transported to the dungeon in an instant. I think it was the coin, but…… Hunter Kang jn-hyeon doesn’t know much about it.”
Speaking of which, Hee-na pulled out a fragment of □□ from her inventory.
“Is this it?”
Hee-won asked curiously with a twinkle in her eye.
Hee-na grabbed the piece of □□ between her thumb and forefinger and looked at it. The piece of iron shimmered with silver and was scrawled with unintelligible symbols.
“What is this □□? What is it for?” she wondered.
I thought to myself.
“!!!!!!!! !!! !!!!”
A giant, colorful, glowing exclamation point exploded in front of my eyes like a firecracker.
“Aah! My eyes!”
The sudden ocular terror caused Hee-Na to drop the piece of □□ she was holding to the floor.
“What are you doing, Oh Sack!”
Hee-na rubbed her dizzy eyes and glared at the snail responsible for the attack.
But the snail didn’t seem to mind Hee-Na’s glare at all.
Instead, it crawled toward the ‘piece of □□’ at nearly the speed of light by snail standards.
“Paid…… cache……!”
It covered the piece of □□ with its bouncy body, and its shell began to glow with an unusual iridescence.
Hee-na looked at the scene and wondered if she should have named it ‘Chil-saeng-i’, the iridescent one, instead of ‘Oh-saeng-i’.
Fortunately, the glowing shell soon returned to its original color. And then the colorful creature stepped down from the “□□ piece” it was riding on.
“Wow!”
Hee-Na marveled.
The fragment of □□ had become incredibly clean after being touched by Oh’s hands. It glittered like a reflection. It looked like a freshly minted silver coin.
“The snail must have a cleaning function because it got so clean?”
Hee-won also praised the snail’s performance. Wu Xiaoxing shrugged his antennae.
“Eat lettuce.”
Hee-na was about to say that lettuce is always cold, but she didn’t want to offend him, so she kept her mouth shut.
“You’re so bright. There’s nothing you can’t do.”
With that insincere compliment, she squatted down in front of the □□ sculpture, the small piece of iron reflecting Hee-na’s face like a mirror.
She tapped her fingertip on the fragment, and a system description window appeared in the air.
All the blanks marked with □□ were filled in, but the description was still bizarre.
“A piece of space?”
I was about to pinch the “piece of space” to take a closer look.
But…….
“Charged! Upgrade! (@[email protected])!!!”
……But first, Oh Sack jumped on top of the ‘Piece of Space’.
Woof!
The air vibrated heavily.
“Oh, Oh Sack, what are you doing?”
Hee-Na and Hee-Won’s eyes widened.
A brilliant light was emanating from the ‘spatial fragment’ beneath Wu Xiaoyi’s torso. It was a brilliant light that couldn’t be compared to the iridescent color of its back shell.
Woosh, woosh!
A few more loud vibrations rang out, centered on the ‘Space Fragment’.
“Huh?”
Soon, a fine powder of light began to spread out from the center of the fragment. The sparkling powder spread like dandelion seeds in Hee-na’s three-square meter old studio.
Shaaaah.
The light powder floated through the air and was absorbed into one or two walls.
“Wow…….”
Hee-Na and Hee-Won forgot everything for a moment and watched the beautiful scene.
How much time had passed? The system window flashed in front of them. Hee-Na snapped back to reality.
The system notified her that her skill rank had increased.
“The level-up gifts were randomly selected, and now they’re charging me?
Even if the system itself is game-like, it’s too game-like!
Moreover, is it just Hee-na’s imagination that the system service feels like it’s following the path of an evil game?
Seeing that Hee-na’s gaze was aimed at thin air, Hee-won asked.
“What does the system window say?”
“My skill rank has increased because I paid for it.”
“What?”
Hee-won made an oooh sound at the sudden news of her skill ranking.
HeeNa, who was also ranked up, was equally surprised.
“Who’s charging me to rank up?”
“Good is good♪”
Oh-saek crawled toward Hee-na, who was nervous. In its place, there was no longer a Spatial Fragment, but a random seed.
“What’s this? Where’s the ‘Piece of Space’?”
I muttered, picking up the seed to check it out. The system window flashed again as if to interrupt her thoughts.
She took the system’s bait. The seeds in her hand had taken a backseat and slipped into her pocket. She was glad she hadn’t thrown it away.
“Interior theme?”
Hee-Na muttered to herself at the unfamiliar word, and the system explained.
“Interior atmosphere = wallpaper + floor + ceiling + other things…….”
Oh, Saek also listened to the explanation.
Roughly speaking, it meant that if she saved the concept of a room decorated in soft yellow tones, she could decorate other rooms in the same way.
Hee-na nodded her head in agreement.
“Of course, I’ll save that one. I worked so hard to decorate this place!”
She named the theme in a stream of consciousness.
“Yellow.”
Another notification popped up with the message that I had saved the theme.
I was prompted to either open or spend money.
Hee-Na muttered to herself as the billing continued.
“Is the system money-crazy?” I muttered to myself.
And then the system suddenly sounded like a public service announcement copy.
I don’t know what the □□ culture is, but the system pretended not to notice and popped up the following message. Something that Hee-Na couldn’t help but be interested in!
“Two rooms?”
The moment I spoke up and looked around, I felt like the world had just turned upside down.
Hee-won felt the same thing and exclaimed, “What the hell?”
Hee-Na staggered for a moment before regaining her composure.
“Huh!”
She lifted her head and gasped.
In the blink of an eye, the tiny three-square-foot studio had been transformed into a tiny two-room house. There was a small living room and kitchen attached to it, and I could see two rooms in the bathroom.
As the name suggests, the house looked a bit dated, but it was clean enough to live in.
It was similar to the layout of the multi-family house that Hee-na had originally rented with her brother.
“Overcharged! Two rooms! Free!” ◑☆!Awesome!★◐」
Meanwhile, at Hee-na’s feet, Oh Sae-yi was dancing an unintelligible dance.
As a housing manager, he was very happy that the quality of the houses he managed had increased.
