After a small incident(?) had passed, Taejeong, who ate breakfast, opened the closet to go to work.
“I’m going to do some work today and find out about Antarctica.”
As usual, Taejeong, who picked up the clothes she always wore, looked at the two new clothes neatly hanging to one side instead of closing the closet door.
What Seo Joo-ah gave as a gift and what Park Se-ah gave as a gift.
Tae-jung, who naturally put down the clothes she had heard, went to the luxury training suit Seo Joo-ah gave her.
But even for a while.
Retrieving his hand again, he looked at Park Se-ah’s tracksuit with a puzzled expression.
“Did I overdo it yesterday? What… All the clothes are there.”
Tae-jung, who boldly chose Park Se-ah’s clothes, finished preparing and headed to the office.
“Captain, how are you?”
Upon entering the lobby, an employee who had just arrived greeted him.
“Good morning.”
“By the way, the captain’s clothes… … .”
“Oh, is this? Since I wear the same clothes every day, I changed them up a bit. how about it?”
When Taejeong asked, the female employee answered with an awkward smile.
“Oh, I like fashion… I don’t know.”
“okay?”
He said that, but Tae-jeong knew.
That these clothes are difficult to even answer.
usually fits well Or the clothes are nice.
It’s normal to say something like this.
To say I don’t know is just a bad word.
‘but. Who would go around emblazoning their name on their clothes?’
Taejeong, who agreed enough, didn’t care much.
It’s not that I’m interested in fashion anyway, and it’s important that I received a gift.
Upon entering the office, the employees all stood up and greeted Tae-jeong.
They, too, had a sudden earthquake at his unconventional (?) fashion, but thanks to the quick-witted manager, everyone raised their thumbs in unison.
Taejeong responded with a smile to the staff and headed straight to the office.
When I went inside, Park Se-ah, who had been working first, got up from her seat.
“He came. uh? those clothes… You are really wearing it.”
“Of course. Didn’t you hear what I said yesterday?”
“I thought it was just polite words… … .”
“I’m going to wear only this for a while.”
Park Se-ah’s expression brightened up at Tae-jeong’s words.
Taejeong, who was somehow proud of that appearance, went into her office with the words to work hard.
“ruler. Then let’s go over some morning work.”
Taejeong, who had processed all the payment documents that came over in the morning, had lunch with Park Sae-ah and talked about this and that.
“I think we should learn something about Antarctica.”
“Suddenly Antarctica? Are you sure you want to go?”
“I have some work. why? What’s wrong?”
“I’ll have to look into it, but I saw at first glance that the place is being used as a red zone by China.”
“How far is it from there to China, and they are using it as a hunting ground? The land is so wide that there are many people to turn around?”
“I’m not sure because I saw it briefly while looking for labyrinth data back then.”
“okay? Just bring it and see it. Well, I’m not going to hunt in the field.”
“yes. Oh yeah. And the problem with the friend you mentioned the other day.”
“Oh, right. How did it go?”
“I made a position in the business transportation department.”
“Is it a place where you drive in the transportation department?”
“It’s not a direct job, it’s a small managerial position. If you learn during the probationary period, you can do it without problems.”
“What is your salary?”
“Basic alone is 360 million.”
“Then it’s a pretty important job, isn’t it? Didn’t you just skip a seat because of me?”
“That’s not it. There are not enough people there, so we’re recruiting new ones. Even if you recruit, the private sector has a lot of rough things… If you are an acquaintance of the captain, your identity is certain, so the transport department liked it.”
“Then I’m glad. Since when?”
“I’ll be in touch today, and I’ll probably pick you up tomorrow.”
“You should call ahead.”
Returning to the office after lunch break, Tae-jeong called Seok-ho Lee.
“Oh, it’s me.”
-Finish. good phone call I was going to call you anyway. are you a hunter?
“It happened.”
-hey. You mean you hid it?
“It hasn’t been long.”
– How did it happen?
“We’ll meet later and talk about it. Did you hear the contents?”
-Ugh. Am I really working there?
“I should have asked you first, but are you planning on coming?”
-Of course. go right away Even if it wasn’t, the construction company went bankrupt and our company stumbled, so it’s not like an auction or anything.
“thank god. I was worried about what would happen if you didn’t come after making all the seats.”
-Thank you, Taejeong. I really do work, but I was curious about what a guild was like. I’ll do my best.
“men and horses. How many years have you and me After my mother and father passed away, how much did your house take care of? And this is picking people who really need it. So there is no need to thank you.”
-boy. It’s cool. Can I see you tomorrow?
“Okay, let’s see.”
After hanging up the phone, Tae-jeong felt relieved, feeling that she had solved something.
A friend who wanted to help as long as he could when one day things went well.
In fact, Lee Seok-ho was more than a friend to him.
Along with Dasom Choi, he was the person I depended on the most during my unfortunate school days.
He also received a lot from his family.
“Now that the lagoon is settled, there is nothing more to worry about… No, there is one left. How are you going to kick her out?”
[Is that woman talking about me?]
Taejeong was startled at the sudden voice of Freesia and spat out the words.
“ah. It’s a surprise. Aren’t you sleeping?”
[I slept all before.]
“Hey. Even if it’s because I can’t stop using my body. Can’t you be with me when you’re awake? Do you really have to do the Kansai like this?”
[How much energy is consumed each time it comes out. Then the more you do, the longer you stay. Wouldn’t that be what you want?]
“And in the morning, he crawled out well.”
[It’s the only game I can enjoy in the current situation. I can’t stand that.]
“It’s done. I was going to ask you before, but you said you had to find strength to leave, right? Is there anything I can do to help?”
[Ohh. Will you help me?]
“It’s not because I like it. It’s because I don’t want to share my body with you.”
[There is a way to shorten it.]
“what is that.”
[Hapgung.]
“Hapgung? where else is that? Is it a place that can be cleared at my level now?”
[of course. I think I can leave after about 300 times.]
“You have to go three hundred times? If you go once a day, it’s 300 days. So, how much are you going to eat? So, the place called Hapgung probably isn’t blue, but is it attached to the red zone?”
Freesia laughed at Taejeong’s question.
His face was frowned at how frivolous that laugh sounded.
“What is that bad laugh?”
[Silly. Hapgung is not a dungeon. Looks like I used too classy words. Would you understand if I said mating?]
“Copulation? what school… no way. If the hapgung is then the hapgung… … .”
Taehyung’s expression darkened.
Now you know what it is.
“So. you and i… … .”
[It’s a synthesis.]
“crazy. That’s a joke too.”
[I’m not kidding. You are Sirius’ ex and have that power. If you blow that kind of energy into me, I can regain my strength in no time. Of course, I’m at a low level because I can’t use all of that power right now, but it’s still enough for me to completely leave your body and move alone after 300 times. What do you think. Isn’t it tempting? Should I do it right away from today?]
Tae-jung rejected her proposal with a firm expression.
“I’ll pretend I didn’t hear it.”
[Three times a day is 100 days?]
“It’s 100 days and it’s Nabal. I will not.”
[Looking at this now, it’s a mental eunuch. My body wasn’t like that.]
“Think whatever you want.”
No matter how justified it was, he couldn’t do that with monsters.
of course. Her appearance was as beautiful as that of an exquisite beauty.
The first time I saw him, I couldn’t take my eyes off him.
But where is that thing that can be done only with looks?
The union of bodies was not something that could be accomplished so easily.
Besides, what if what she said was a lie?
He was just wasting his energy.
‘I can’t give my 8 years of virginity to a monster like you.’
that afternoon.
Tae-jung, who returned home after work, was looking at the file Se-ah Park had handed over.
“Well. This is a lot more than you think.”
In the Antarctic data she brought, a total of eight countries divided the continent into two parts and shared it.
The place where the largest number of forces came from was China, which occupied a larger area than the other seven countries combined.
This was not good for exploration.
This is because dungeons whose ownership is recognized are officially impossible to enter.
However, this did not matter to Tae-jung.
Because he has a skill called cloaking, a rare scam skill.
“For now, the pole with the secret gate seems to be the Chinese territory. The monster level is about ground red… I’m not going to hunt anything. The problem is inside the gate. There is no information about this place.”
I couldn’t find information about this place anywhere because it was a class-only quest.
It’s not difficult to find and enter through exploration, but Tae-jeong felt frustrated because she didn’t know what dangers lurked inside.
“It was always close-knit.”
I even asked Gerard, but he also had no idea what was there.
Taejeong, deep in thought, opened her mouth to the air.
“Do you have Freesia?”
[why? Did you change your mind?]
“Not that. Just in case you know anything about the secret base.”
[Well. If my prediction is correct, the secret base should be set to a reasonable level.]
“The grounds?”
[I can’t go into detail, but it’s a place that shouldn’t exist. In other words, that place shouldn’t affect this planet. It means that it should melt naturally as if it exists or does not exist.]
“I don’t quite understand what you mean by saying that.”
[Well. Do you remember what I said before? That if I opened up about anything, we would all be in danger. It’s a similar concept there. Suppose, for example, that you grow an anthill. But ant ghosts appeared in that anthill. So what are you going to do?]
“I should get rid of the ant ghosts.”
[right. That’s right. On the contrary, other ants that cannot be distinguished with the naked eye entered the anthill. What are you going to do at this time?]
“If there is no distinction, is there a star? I will just leave it alone.”
[That’s the best answer I can give.]
“So… You mean this secret base is another ant in an anthill? Can’t be an ant ghost? So, the original ants are monsters from Antarctica?”
[You’re smarter than you think.]
“If what you’re saying is true, it means they’re both equally difficult.”
[Not quite the same. you said Another ant. Depending on how far you, the owner, allow it, it can be the same, or it can be lower or higher. However, that standard does not go beyond ant ghosts, who are at an overwhelming level compared to ants.]
“I barely understood. But from what you say, it’s as if there’s an owner there, isn’t it? Who built that anthill?”
[You’re going to die if you say that? I can’t handle it at your level right now.]
“okay? Are you more curious when you say that?”
That’s what he said, but Tae-jung didn’t ask any more.
For some reason, I felt afraid.
‘The ant nest and the owner. One thing is for sure. It’s not just a created world.’
