Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 79

“Okay. As you said, he is a hidden class farmer by name. Isn’t there something special about him?”

As soon as he said those words, Heewon jumped up from his seat.

“Let’s go to the field and check it out.”

The siblings moved to the field and Heewon squatted down in front of a patch of grass the size of a fingernail.

“What’s this?”

Heena sat down next to her brother and asked about the identity of this weed-like thing.

“Spinach. “I sowed the seeds a while ago.”

Heewon looked down at the green spinach sprouts with happy eyes. And then I thought, ‘Huh?’ And I looked at how the spinach was cooked.

“What’s wrong, brother? Is there a problem?”

Actually, as Heena thought, was this not spinach but a weed? While I was curious, Heewon shouted.

“This also brings up an explanation window. “It wasn’t there until recently?”

Heena was surprised and blamed Heewon for his carelessness.

“what? “You’re a farmer by name, but you didn’t even know that an explanation window like this would pop up?”

Then Heewon responded as if it was unfair.

“It wasn’t until recently that this kind of information surfaced. In the first place, it didn’t grow well before Baduki sprinkled fertilizer on it… Ah!”

Hee-won, who was muttering, suddenly stood up as if she realized something.

“Baduki fertilizer!”

Heena thought of the golden powder spewing out from Baduki’s body. It was pretty poop powder.

“Why Baduki fertilizer?”

“After Baduki started spraying fertilizer on the field, the crops began to grow.”

“that’s right. It did.”

Not only the crops but also the weeds began to grow rapidly, making Heewon very busy.

“After that, I had so much to do that I never checked the crop status window. So, by the way… Isn’t this effect created when Baduki gave fertilizer?”

“So, this is an effect that came about thanks to your brother’s farming skills and Baduki’s fertilizer?”

“that’s right. At least that’s what I think. “Before we got help from Baduki, it was just an ordinary crop.”

Now Heewon was completely convinced.

“okay. “If that’s the case with my brother, then it must be like that.”

Heena was satisfied with Heewon’s judgment and took a closer look at the small spinach.

When I looked at the explanation window, the text literally jumped out in front of my eyes.

<Immature spinach (C): Spinach that is still growing. The effect is still weak. When consumed, strength increases by +1 for 30 seconds. If you cook it with a special touch, you may get better results. >

‘It was the same with peanuts…’

Maybe all the crops grown in the dungeon can be checked on the status window.

Heena slowly read the text that appeared in front of her.

“Immature spinach….”

It was written that eating this spinach would temporarily increase the strength stat by 1. Because the spinach was not yet grown, the efficacy seemed not to be complete.

“Anyway, isn’t this a joke?”

No matter how ignorant Heena was of hunter knowledge, she could immediately tell that this spinach was not ordinary.

There were several ways to increase an awakened person’s stats.

First, there was a way to increase overall stats by upgrading the awakened person’s own rank.

However, because the awakened level was almost innate, leveling up was virtually impossible.

Second, there is a way to use items. You can increase your abilities by wearing items that increase your stats.

But this wasn’t easy either. That’s because those types of items were extremely rare and expensive.

Thirdly, all you had to do was drink the potion. Usually hunters used this method a lot. It was a way to amplify stats by drinking potions.

However, the downside was that the abilities increased by the potion lasted only temporarily.

“This is almost like a potion!”

Heena was slightly impressed.

The effectiveness of such a small piece of spinach was so great, and I was excited to see how great the effect would be when the spinach grew to full size.

‘They also said that a special touch can have a greater effect… I guess they’re referring to my cooking skills, right?’

This meant that if Heena cooked the spinach grown by Heewon, a food that was as good as a decent potion would be created.

“Heena, we hit the jackpot. really.”

Heewon also continued to exclaim as if he was thinking the same thing as Heena.

“Really, this is gold!”

This was so great that even Heewon, who said she was not interested in big money or troublesome things, was surprised.

Heewon declared with a serious expression.

“I really shouldn’t sell this directly outside. These are things that are far beyond our imagination. “I have to make a secret pact with the Blue Dragon Guild and make a deal.”

* * *

Heewon whispered into Heena’s ear.

“Hey. As expected, the blue dragon is different. It’s so big and nice. “I knew that, but… you work for a good company, right?”

The siblings were now at the top floor of the Blue Dragon Guild. It was to sign a contract regarding Heewon’s crops.

“Oppa, do you remember what I said? “Don’t think nonsense.”

As she walked to the guild leader’s room, Hee-na asked Hee-won to take care of herself.

The guild leader was someone with the skill to read thoughts, so he told me not to think about things I wanted to keep secret.

“Okay, okay. okay. “You worry too much.”

“The problem is that your brother is so carefree!”

The two arrived in front of the guild leader’s office, bickering. When I knocked, I heard a voice telling me to come in right away.

“Team leader this? “Come in.”

Hee-won giggled as if the title ‘Team Leader Lee’ was funny. Anyway, there wasn’t a trace of tension.

“Welcome.”

Guild leader Kim Gyu-hee got to the point right away as soon as the siblings sat down.

“I think it would be a good idea to set the purchase price of peanuts at around 6 million won per 100g. “It’s roughly 60,000 won per pill.”

While Heena gaped at the exorbitant price, Heewon happily accepted it.

“no way. “You’re hitting me too hard.”

“You’re hitting me? “That’s an interesting opinion.”

Heewon twitched her lips as if she wasn’t scared of the guild leader whose eyes shined like a lion.

“Considering that one peanut can be used as a meal replacement and that you can carry it in your inventory, shouldn’t you get more than that?”

“Um… brother?”

Hee-na stabbed her brother in the side while watching guild leader Kim Gyu-hee’s notice, but Hee-won’s expression did not change at all.

“Don’t you know the value of dungeon by-products? 6 million won for 100g… It’s the cheapest of the cheap. “The Blue Dragon Guild has a reputation, so you’re not planning on robbing my siblings, who are just ordinary citizens, right?”

Instead of calming down, he went one step further and even provoked the guild leader.

The guild leader smiled at this.

“Take it off… That’s an interesting expression. However, peanuts that have not been touched by Team Leader Lee Hee-na only last for about an hour or two.”

“Whether you take one pill or three pills, it is the same in that it is less bulky than a meal. It goes without saying that it is much more energy efficient than dried food. Additionally, the only food available in the inventory is beef jerky made from monster meat. It’s horribly tasteless and doesn’t really satisfy your hunger. If you think about that, these peanuts are nothing short of innovation. “Don’t you know that the biggest problem in long-term subjugation is the hunters’ food problem?”

Hee-won, who lived as a bottom hunter, knew. Other items could be made from dungeon by-products and stored in the inventory, but food could not.

Food became a burden for hunters and greatly affected their mobility. In long-term subjugation, separate porters were needed to carry food.

‘Because I often went in and out of the dungeon as a porter for high-level hunters.’

However, if you introduce Heewon’s peanuts into your dungeon strategy, the story will be different.

“Costs can be reduced by reducing the number of porters, and most of all, the efficiency of the attack will increase because there is no need to take responsibility for the safety of low-grade porters.”

Hee-won pointed out the value of the peanuts he had grown.

Even Heena, who was watching from the side, forgot about the guild leader’s presence for a moment and became immersed in Heewon’s words.

‘Was your brother this familiar with trading?’

Heena was surprised by the unexpected side of her brother.

It was hard to believe that he was the same person who always went around laughing and saying it was okay to be like this or that. He seemed very experienced and well-versed in the world.

‘Well, even though my brother was a D class, he worked as a hunter for 10 years.’

It was Hee-won who stubbornly survived with a low-level, even non-combat job. It would have been difficult for anyone to have that level of survival power unless they were an ordinary villain.

‘Oppa…’

Heena thought about how intensely her brother must have lived. A part of my heart sank.

“Our siblings are not bigots. I heard you promised to treat Heena without regrets? “Don’t think about it for nothing.”

While Hee-na was lost in sentiment, Hee-won finished what he wanted to say and sat down with his shoulders squared. Even though the opponent was the head of the Blue Dragon guild, he looked confident as if he had nothing to worry about.

‘amazing! ‘Your brother also had this side of him.’

Hee-na clapped for Hee-won in her heart. For the first time in a long time, I felt like my brother was cool.

“You did a good job with this team leader.”

Fortunately, guild leader Kim Gyu-hee also seemed to cheerfully accept his bold attitude.
