Area headquarters of Xenix.
“uh? Se-ah, are you off work now?”
“Yes, chief. What are you doing?”
“What happened? I was going to have a team dinner today, and I was going to ask you to go with me if it’s okay. how is it? Is it time?”
At the words of the HR manager, Park Se-ah made a troubled expression.
Because I had something to do today.
Perhaps recognizing her sign, the team leader smiled and said, “It’s okay.”
“I can’t help it if I have a job. Join us next time.”
“yes. Thank you for taking care of it.”
Park Se-ah, who got out of the office thanks to the quick-witted team leader, took a shuttle and started heading somewhere.
“You worked hard today too.”
“yes. thank you.”
The place she got off was a large general shopping mall in a private area.
A place I had to come and visit for the past few years.
Park Se-ah, who was soaked in a moment of emotion while looking at the building, went inside.
“The clothes… It’s on the third floor.”
While looking at the information board, she took the elevator and headed for the third floor.
So the place I arrived at was a clothing store in a luxury store.
“Welcome, customer.”
“yes. May I take a look?”
“sure. Take it slow.”
At the kind words of the store clerk, Park Se-ah started to look around and see if anything was okay.
However, as befits a famous luxury store, all the items caught her eye, and the staff came back to her side as she continued to look around.
“Is there a product you are looking for?”
“ah. man… I want to buy some clothes.”
“Would you like a present? who? Boyfriend?”
“no. that’s not it, um… I’m going to give you a gift to celebrate your promotion.”
“You are the boss at work. Then I usually wear a lot of shirts and ties. This product here is doing well, would you like to take a look?”
At the recommendation of the staff, Park Se-ah accepted the clothes.
A neat white color shirt that goes well with any outfit.
Even the luxury logo was embedded, making it a more attractive item.
‘I think it will suit you well.’
Thinking of Taejeong, she nodded and opened her mouth.
“I’ll take this one.”
“Do you know your size?”
“yes. It’s 100. But how much?”
“This product is now… That’s 2.59 million won, customer.”
“2.59 million won?”
The price was higher than expected, she asked with her eyes slightly wide open.
This time, the activity fee that came in was 2 million won, and it was because the specs exceeded that amount by far.
“What problem do you have?”
“ah. Could there be anything cheaper?”
“Ugh. In fact, this line is the least expensive in our store.”
“then… I’m sorry, but I’ll look around a little more and hear from you again.”
Park Se-ah, who rushed out of the store as if embarrassed, turned around and sighed deeply.
“Whoa. Luxury goods are expensive. It was just for the boss.”
I felt kind of depressed.
For the first time in years, my salary was barely enough to buy me a shirt.
However, luxury goods here could not be said to be that expensive.
This is because this shopping mall is used by hunters’ families, and for those who make thousands of dollars a day, a few million won was as common as ordinary people buying chicken.
“okay. I’m sure you can find something cheaper if you look for it.”
Park Se-ah, who decided to sell her feet, started browsing the luxury goods store from then on.
However, there were no clothes that she could buy with the money she had anywhere.
I guess the first place I went to was the cheapest.
In fact, if you don’t insist on luxury goods, there are many cheap brands you can buy downstairs.
The problem is that your boss is not a person in a normal position.
The only hidden class in the guild and a middle-level executive who is in charge of the regional leader.
Even if you don’t care about yourself, you have to think about the eyes of others, so it was an unspoken rule of the organization that you have to match the level to some extent.
Besides, even if these things were out of the question, she had a strong desire to do something good for herself.
How much care have you received in the past?
However, unlike that mindset, the walls of reality were only high.
“I wanted to give you something nice.”
Unable to match the price until the last store, she eventually went downstairs, where general brands were located.
Park Se-ah, who entered the store that looked the best among them, called an employee and asked.
“I’m going to give you a present. Can you give me some recommendations?”
“What is your age group?”
“I’m in my late 20s. I think it can be seen as halfway through.”
“I’m in my mid-twenties. How about this one here? It’s a hoodie with a very light blend of high-quality cashmere. It comes as a set with pants. It is also our flagship product.”
“Are there any neat shirts?”
“Well. Shirts aren’t worn these days. I wouldn’t know if you were active outside of Seoul or a guild. It’s actually old on the inside. Because most of them are active. Trust me and try this. It’s fall now, and having a hoodie like this is great for everyday wear. If you wear it as a set with pants, it’s really annoying.”
“What is Kkuankku?”
“ah. This is what I heard from my grandfather too. They say it’s a word that was used a long time ago. Is it a fashion that looks like it’s decorated or not? This style works these days. Wearing a piece of luxury brand and saying ‘I’m wearing a brand name’ is actually a bad dog, right? Who can’t buy luxury goods here? Even if you wear one, it seems like you’re wearing it roughly? what is this Our brand, where you can feel the raw gaminess and freshness, is much more recognized among fashion fans.”
“ah… … .”
After hearing what the staff said, it was plausible.
In fact, having never shopped before, she was no different from an outsider in a place like this.
So it was more persuasive.
Besides, the more I looked at it, the more I definitely looked pretty.
I guess I can feel the real gambit of raw things.
“Then I will do this. 100 please. Pants too.”
“Excellent choice. It is 1.59 million won, how can I help you pay?”
“I’ll do it with a check card.”
“thank you. Oh yeah. And we also do name engraving at events. How can I help with this too? The cost is 100,000 won.”
“Is it better to do it?”
“Anyway, if it’s a gift, there’s no point in bringing it and selling it, so wouldn’t it be more special if I gave it as a gift? Because it becomes your own clothes, the only one in the world.”
“I heard and saw it. Please do so.”
“What is the name of the recipient?”
“This is Yoo Tae-jung.”
“It’s Yoo Tae-jeong. From what I’ve seen, the initials don’t seem to have ganji. If it was written in Korean, it would be a bit more sporty, and it would have the perfect wow point. What do you think?”
“yes. Please do so.”
“All right. Wait. Please sit here on the sofa and wait a moment.”
After about 20 minutes, the staff came back with clothes.
By the way.
Park Se-ah, who saw the clothes, looked at the employee as if embarrassed.
“this… Are you carving this big?”
“The trend these days is to be big and big. You look much younger than before, don’t you? I am also a design graduate. It feels good.”
Seeing the employee talking rather proudly, Park Se-ah looked at the words Tae-jeong Yoo written in large letters on the front plate.
Arranged vertically in the center.
Is this really cool?
“By the way, why is the name on the back of the pants…? … .”
“In the fashion world, this is called an unbalanced technique, but this way you can see it from the back as well as from the front, and it has many advantages. Give it as a gift. I’m sure the recipient will like it.”
“ah… yes.”
“Then take a look and let me know next time! thank you.”
After seeing her off, the man who was gazing at the front door of the store with a proud heart turned back at the vicious murder felt behind his back.
Then, a middle-aged man who appeared to be the boss was glaring at him as if he were going to eat him.
“Why, why?”
“Why are you like that? hey. Daol Kim, are you crazy? I didn’t tell you because it’s already been paid, but what if the customer’s clothes are messed up like that?”
“Don’t mess with it. It’s my first work though. A word… … .”
“hey. Why did you do your first work in my store? Are you out of your mind? Who makes the lettering engraved like that?”
“If we do the same thing at other stores, will our brand be competitive? I am a fashion design graduate.”
“The design department sucks, and if that customer comes back and asks for a refund, you do it yourself. I do not know.”
“Ah, well. I’m telling you as a devout Christian, it could never be… … .”
“Noisy and wipe the floor. That bastard’s Christian. This is only after cleaning.”
Watching the boss walk away with a sigh, the man shook his head.
“It’s really hard to eat fashion in Korea. Talented people like me should have been born abroad. A waste of talent, a waste.”

[You have defeated Arcun, the fairy of petrification.]
[Acquire 5.4 million EXP.]
[You have leveled up.]
[A new quest has been opened.]
[Please check the quest window.]
“finally. Is it level up?”
Taejeong, who had been slaughtering fairies all over the stone mountain, broke through the 550 level before she knew it.
It was accomplished in seven hours of hunting after coming here.
“Let’s see. Let’s see what comes out.”
[Mechanic Path 1-6]
In Antarctica, the southernmost continent of the Earth, there is a robot base of the Space United Defense Force.
This base is the world’s largest robot base built to prevent the invasion of alien races. In the most secret place, the basilisk’s heavenly body, called the secret weapon of the earth, is sleeping.
Wake him up and retrieve it.
You can enter the robot base through the South Pole underground gate.
Mission: Recover the Basilisk’s Celestial Head 0/1
Reward – omnidirectional sensory roadwalker pack (evasion maneuver)
“The basilisk’s heavenly god? Besides, it’s extreme. It looks like something huge is hidden.”
This time it was Antarctica.
It is the southernmost point of the earth and boasts a severe cold weather.
This was an uncharted territory where real people stopped walking.
“Gerard, are you listening?”
– Yes, master.
“What is the basilisk’s ceiling?”
-A weapon that was once called Earth’s final secret weapon.
“The final secret weapon. Then you’re almost at the end of the game.”
– At one time it was. Since then, science has continued to advance.
“okay? So how does that compare to my cruise missiles?”
– You can’t compare the two because they are so different. But one thing’s for sure: the cruise missiles you have now won’t be able to hit Cheonsinjang.
“Ohh. Are your defenses that good?”
Even after hearing this far, his heart had already gone to Antarctica.
It’s a mini tactical nuclear bomb, but nuclear is nuclear.
Since he had seen the power of the explosion firsthand, surviving it was unthinkable.
“The basilisk’s celestial body. I am looking forward to this again.”
