Chapter 78
Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 78
In response to Heena’s question, Kang Mok-hyeon, the head of the human resources team who was standing behind the guild leader, suddenly opened his mouth.
“I will explain this part for you.”
“Yes, HR manager.”
“The peanuts that Team Leader Lee brought have different benefits from other peanuts. In the case of raw peanuts, we confirmed that the feeling of fullness increases significantly when consumed. In fact, an explanation that it increases the feeling of fullness appeared in the status window.”
“Oh, that’s right.”
Heena suddenly remembered the day she ate a lot of raw peanuts.
A window appeared indicating that the feeling of fullness had increased. Since I ate to the point where I was full, I thought it was natural that the status window would pop up, so I didn’t think much of it.
“But what does that have to do with…?”
“There are not many things consumed that have a significant effect on the body of an awakened person. “At most, it can be said that it is only potions.”
Potions were drugs used to increase physical strength, stamina, magical power, etc., or to treat wounds.
For reference, it was an item that had to be made directly by an alchemist or supplied directly from a dungeon, so the price was very expensive.
Kang Mok-hyeon, head of the human resources team, was comparing the peanuts that Hee-won grew to a potion.
“The fact that the system responds means that it has a definite impact on the awakened person’s body. It satisfies hunger and provides a great sense of fullness. Additionally, the roasted peanuts provided in the lounge… Did you say that Heena roasted these herself? This provides 6 hours of calories in one peanut. In the meantime, you won’t feel hungry or low on energy. It has optimal conditions as portable food. Doesn’t it have less bulk, plenty of calories, and even solve your hunger problems? It is natural that discerning hunters flock to Heena. Also…”
While Kang Mok-hyeon was explaining, several peanuts suddenly appeared in his hands.
“uh?”
“…You can store it in the inventory window like this. “This is absolutely impossible with normal crops.”
The only things that could go into the inventory window were items containing dungeon by-products.
So, in the case of food made outside of the dungeon, it could not be stored in the inventory and had to be stored separately.
“A window will also appear explaining the status of B-grade peanuts.”
“omg.”
It goes into your inventory and an explanation window pops up.
Of course, I thought it was an ordinary crop, so I never looked at it carefully. This is because the system description window only appears when the user wants to check it.
‘Ugh… I guess it’s because these are peanuts grown in dungeon soil.’
Heena thought this far and then huffed again, looking at the guild leader’s notice.
The fact of farming in dungeon soil and how to enter the dungeon to farm in dungeon soil were all secret.
Heena, very embarrassed, rolled her eyes here and there. It could have been said to be the crisis of a lifetime. The guild leader, noticing his gaze shaking like an aspen tree, chuckled.
“If Team Leader Lee Hee-na continues to be by my side, Team Leader Lee’s secret will be maintained. I won’t reveal any more secrets. …I’ll say it again, I tend to have a heavy mouth.”
The tone was very meaningful.
Although she would never betray the guild leader of the Blue Dragon Guild in the first place, Heena promised herself that she would forever side with the Blue Dragon Guild from now on.
‘I think I know how they captured prominent hunters and formed the best guild in Korea.’
I sighed heavily, feeling some kind of pressure. Guild leader Kim Gyu-hee was a difficult opponent for a criminal like Hee-na to deal with. The more I learned, the more it became so.
The guild leader clapped his hands as if to brighten the mood.
“anyway. So, we are saying that our Blue Dragon Guild would like to purchase this team leader’s peanuts. Team leader Lee. Of course, we only confirmed its potential as an alternative food, and a few other things need to be checked, but these peanuts are worth it.”
As soon as the guild leader finished speaking, Kang Mok-hyeon, head of the human resources team, immediately spoke up.
“It would be much safer to trade with our guild than to trade person to person. Things might get a little complicated when word spreads about the peanuts that Team Leader Lee’s brother grew. “It may go in a good direction, but it also carries some risks.”
He subtly stimulated Heena’s anxiety. It wasn’t wrong.
Heena had heard a story from Woo Min-ah about how problems can arise when a weak person has unique and useful skills.
That was a nagging comment about Heena’s ‘Home Sweet Home’ skill, but it could also apply to Heewon’s Farmer skill.
‘If the rumor spreads incorrectly, you could be kidnapped and forced to farm peanuts like a serf.’
“If you work with our guild, we will take thorough measures to prevent any inconvenience from happening to this team leader and your brother. “We have already blocked and deleted all peanut-related information that was spread on the company intranet.”
Kang Mok-hyeon, head of the human resources team, pinpointed Heena’s concerns and addressed them.
Additionally, I really liked the fact that they had taken measures in advance to prevent the rumor from spreading further before coming to meet Heena.
‘Of course, he didn’t necessarily have such good intentions.’
Heena wasn’t that naive either.
The reason the Blue Dragon Guild came out like this was probably not 100% out of favor.
Didn’t Hee-won come out like this to find out that the peanuts he harvested were of high value and to monopolize the information and quantity? It was clear that with price competition, the value would be significant.
Heena, being human after all, suddenly became greedy, but her bold plans quickly faded away.
‘Safe is best.’
In fact, if it hadn’t been for an excessively good harvest, I wouldn’t have thought about taking my crops out to sell.
No matter how valuable it was, it was just a peanut. I didn’t want to be put in a complicated and dangerous situation because of peanuts.
Heena already had three houses, four to be exact, and was receiving a salary and incentives that were more than enough to save money.
All I needed now was the health and well-being of my family.
I didn’t want to compromise the most important thing, my family’s safety, just to make a few extra bucks.
‘As long as Jinhyeon continues to be in the Blue Dragon Guild, I will not lose my connection with this place, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to sign a second contract with the Blue Dragon Guild.’
Guild leader Kim Gyu-hee, who was looking into Heena’s eyes, smiled. He read the conclusion Heena had come to in her head.
“Team leader Lee thought well. “As long as our guild is in charge, there will be no threat to the safety of this team leader and his family.”
Heena hurriedly added, as it seemed like they were going to ask them to bring in the contract right away and stop it.
“But first of all, I agree, but I don’t know what your brother will think. “Can we discuss it with you and have a detailed discussion later?”
In any case, the decision of producer Hee-won was the most important.
“then. “Don’t be like that.”
The guild leader smiled cheerfully and offered to shake hands. Heena suddenly grabbed the hand and shook it wildly.
“Don’t worry, we will pay generously without any regrets. When I make up my mind, I will come with the person who will become my older brother. “The guild leader’s office is always open.”
As she smiled and whispered, Heena could only nod her head.
* * *
Heena returned home in a huff and explained everything that had happened. At the same time, he didn’t forget to blame Heewon.
“If you’re a farmer by name, shouldn’t you know what kind of peanuts you grow?”
“For some reason, you haven’t had an appetite for a few days. By the way, did you guys know? “I wonder if this is the effect of peanuts.”
“Oppa, you’ve been a hunter, but haven’t you noticed? “If only you had looked more closely at the peanuts you harvested…”
“You never thought it would have this effect. “Would it be any different if it were me?”
Hee-won scratched his head in response to Hee-na’s nagging.
“I was just happy because it was my first harvest. “I don’t think about it any more than that…”
“Anyway, the world is at peace!”
“Good is good.”
Heewon was originally a bit blunt, but somehow he seemed to have become more carefree while farming.
Is it because all the attention is focused on the land and plants?
“So what are you going to do next?”
“Well, it’s not that bad that they will buy what I grew at a good price. “I was already worried that if you couldn’t sell all of this, you might have to go to a direct sales store.”
“Rather than supplying it to the Blue Dragon Guild, you could make more money by selling it on the hunter market. “I don’t really want it because it seems dangerous, but since my brother raised me, I think it’s right for him to make the final decision.”
Heena spoke her thoughts honestly. Honey, I feel comfortable and safe in my current situation, but Heewon could have thought differently.
‘You might want to increase your wealth, too.’
For the past 10 years, it was Heewon who mostly supported Heena’s household. So Heena thought that the money she earned was common property.
‘I’ve been living off the money my brother worked hard for, so now it’s my turn to support him.’
However, Hee-won, who was supported by Hee-na, might feel like a burden.
“no. Why bother selling things so much? “I think it would be most convenient to deliver it directly to the Blue Dragon Guild.”
Fortunately, Heewon seemed to be more bothered than the desire to make money. I was so focused on dungeon farming that I didn’t want to do anything else.
“Can’t the contract be made on the condition that other crops are also delivered?”
It even seemed like they were planning to hand over future production items to wholesalers.
Heena fell into deep thought at her brother’s suggestion.
“but. There is no law that says only the peanuts grown by my brother are special. “Other crops may also have unique effects.”
