Chapter 7 – Episode 7
An F grade dungeon located in Soyosan Mountain.
This dungeon, also called Honggwi Cave, is classified as a so-called grape cluster type dungeon.
There is one huge passage of a large stem, and there are passages of small stems connected to that stem.
And at the end of that aisle, each grape egg. In other words, it is a dungeon in the form of a separate room.
Another one.
This dungeon is one of the early discovery dungeons that have been repeatedly attacked dozens of times after defeating the boss monster.
Thanks to that, it is now revealed that there are a total of 43 rooms.
It is also a place where all information has been thoroughly dug up to the extent that you can even check the 3D map of this dungeon on the Internet.
Our goal for this expedition is to explore the 5 rooms to the far left of them and defeat the red ghosts that appear.
In each room, a monster that is bigger and somewhat more powerful than the normal Red Ghost, also called the Red Ghost Captain, appears as a monster in the middle of the dungeon.
The purpose of our company’s expedition this time is to educate new awakened people by hunting him five times.
“GO!”
Jang Yong exclaimed with a confident expression.
The battle in the second room has just begun.
I stood at the entrance of the room and watched the three Awakeners with the mobile writing.
Since it was already the second room, I didn’t have to give instructions.
Jang Yong drew the attention of Captain Hong Gui using his sword and shield.
When I tried to do something, I pushed with my shield, and when I opened the distance a little, my sword swung.
Hong Gui’s expression was contorted with intense anger.
Isol Kim confirmed that the aggro was stable.
He moved behind Captain Hong-Gwi’s back and launched a full-scale attack.
A sword that only looks too light and flashy.
She cautioned me a few times about the way she attacked, but she just glared at me without paying attention.
Baek Hwa-yeon put arrows in her bow and concentrated her mana there.
Her arrows full of mana were our final means of attack to finish off Captain Hong-Gwi.
An arrow that can be seen at the end of her beautiful but haughty and cold expression.
At its sharp end, mana gradually gathered.
“I’m ready.”
Baek Hwa-yeon sent a signal, but Kim I-sol did not move at all.
Did that before…
Baek Hwa-yeon’s voice was so small that he didn’t seem to be able to hear it.
To put it in a good way, it would have been a state of concentration on the battle, but it didn’t look so good in my eyes.
You have a narrow field of vision and don’t know anything about connections.
In the current situation, if you are attacked from behind, you will not be able to do anything.
That stupid bitch
I couldn’t help but shout instead of Baek Hwa-yeon.
How many times have you already done this?
“Isol Kim! Hwayeon Baek says she’s ready!!”
Only then did Kim Isol move to the side.
And then she tuts and clicks her tongue, and when I see that, I get really annoyed.
At about the same time, a missile-like arrow was fired from Baek Hwa-yeon’s archery.
It flew through the air and landed a direct hit on Captain Hong Gui’s head.
“Huh? …Couldn’t it have penetrated again?”
A focused attack over time.
It’s okay to kill monsters in low-level dungeons like this in one hit, right?
Even if it’s a mid-boss…
That’s true
Their level seemed to be lower than the Awakeners of the senior team I saw last time.
Baek Hwa-yeon looked good… There was a reason you came to our company…
In the first room, I thought it was a mistake.
She looked at Baek Hwa-yeon with pitiful eyes, but her expression was not good, as if she realized it too.
“Mr. Kim I-sol. Mr. Jang-yong. Would it be possible for the two of you?”
“Of course!”
“Yes. I’m fine. Captain.”
With an arrow stuck in his head, Captain Hong Gui was still in good health.
The arrow shot by Baek Hwa-yeon was accurate, but it did not pierce the skull properly.
Being able to shoot multiple arrows isn’t a lack of mana, so what’s the problem?
The fortunate thing right now is that this is an F-class dungeon.
The point is that Captain Hong Gui didn’t have any weapons.
In the end, Kim I-sol started hacking through Hong Gui’s body.
As in the first room, it seems that he will eventually defeat the enemy by over-bleeding.
I sighed as I watched it, but what can I do?
I’m not in a position where I can help because I’m weak.
But then.
Captain Hong-Gwi, who had only been running towards Jang Yong’s shield until now, suddenly pretended to throw something.
Perhaps because it was a sudden attack, Jang Yong could neither avoid nor block the attack and was hit.
The object he threw hit Zhang Yong’s face exactly.
“Ugh…”
Instead of fixing the barn after losing the cow, Jang Yong finally raised his shield and covered his face.
The hand that was holding his sword was rubbing his eyes.
It was pathetic.
Even Jang-yong, whom I trusted, was in such a state.
Did he get his eyes on me by the way?
Then it’s a big deal.
The sudden change of situation made me feel impatient.
If there is a problem and all these guys die, I will die too.
“Jang Yong, are your eyes okay?”
“Oh, yes, yes. It’s okay. There’s nothing in the eye.”
I hurriedly grabbed Lee Dong-geul’s arm.
“Not now. Save more heels.”
“Yes…”
This stupid woman was about to waste her one remaining heel, so she stopped it in a hurry.
Where the hell did all these idiots come from?
The academy sucks.
It was drawn in the eyes even without looking at the level of the teachers.
Fortunately, Zhang Yong was not seriously injured, and Hong Gui fell to the floor shortly after.
I had a lot to say, but I didn’t.
I just observed each one in turn.
Maybe these pictures are good…
“Chief, I found something suspicious.”
Jang Yong called me.
He stopped calling me brother.
He was called the team leader.
It had been that way ever since the argument with Kim I-sol.
Standing behind me, I cautiously moved forward.
The only thing I can go forward is after the monsters are sorted out like this.
“What is it?”
“Look at this. This.”
What I saw before my eyes was a little strange.
It’s hard to explain, but it was in the form of a small capsule.
“Were you just on the floor?”
“No. This is what Captain Hong-Gwi threw at me. This.”
Hong Gui is basically naked.
There is nothing different about being a captain.
As it was an F-class dungeon, these guys didn’t have anything.
So no money…
All these guys have is a weirdly-shaped, clumsy dick that’s similar to a human but a bit smaller.
But none of us turn our heads to this figure.
Not only men, but women as well.
In particular, the awakened people would have watched the goblins they faced at the academy without wanting to, and there was no way they were paying attention to these things in the yard using weapons to cut their bodies.
It’s similar to not feeling special when you see your dog’s dick.
Red ghosts with weapons appear very occasionally, but most of them are naked, so this dungeon is perfect for practice.
No one comes to get the item.
Well, it’s safe though.
Our team also came without such expectations at all.
By the way, Hong Gui drops the item?
It was as unlikely as winning the lottery.
“Give it to me.”
I took this strange capsule-shaped object cautiously.
Slightly larger than a pill.
I pressed hard with my thumb and forefinger, but it was hard without any reaction, probably because it was metal.
Hmm…
This thing didn’t go with this place.
For some reason, it seemed to be of a highly advanced civilization.
Or maybe it was dropped when another expedition came to this dungeon.
“First of all, let’s take care of it. It might be a magical item. But since it’s an F-class dungeon, don’t expect too much from it so you won’t be disappointed later.”
“Ah… I guess so, right?”
“Chit.”
Kim Isol clicked her tongue.
There would be no ordinary person or an awakened person who did not expect to make a fortune while going around dungeons.
Especially since these guys just came to the F-class dungeon.
No matter how much the state subsidized Awakened Academy graduates, the reality is that it is difficult to live without a job and without raiding dungeons.
Especially since these guys wouldn’t have been properly sponsored once.
“I’m going to stop here and rest for today. Are you having a hard time now?”
It’s not a question about basic fitness.
Now, it is asking if mana is not showing the bottom.
After awakening, you can figure out how much mana is left in your body.
Seeing that no one answered, everyone seemed to want to rest.
Since you’ve explored two of the five rooms, after sleeping, explore three more and this expedition will be over.
Phew…
We barely made our way back towards the central exit of the dungeon.
I saw a simple lodging and toilets installed by people from the company.
There is also a kitchenette where you can cook meals.
Oh shit… I had to cook too…
I wanted to take a break now.
I was the only one to cook.
Ah, I also had a strong thought that large corporations do not scout.
In fact, this dungeon was enough to go outside and grab a lodging and commute, but this time it was for educational purposes, so camping was an unavoidable necessity.
When I thought about continuing this work in the future, my eyes widened.
I took off my suit and changed into comfortable clothes.
I was told to wear it 24 hours a day because it’s dangerous in a dungeon, but no one follows that manual in an F-level dungeon like this.
And I had no choice but to cook.
This is because the C-class suit is an integral whole body, covering all of its feet and fingers.
“Wow, is the team leader cooking too?”
Lee Dong-geul approached with round eyes like a rabbit.
He took off his suit and was wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt.
Involuntarily, she turned her eyes to her breasts, but this time she was properly wearing her underwear.
“Yes. I’m not good at it. I’m going to make steamed chicken. Is that okay?”
“Oh! I like it. Chicken! My favorite is cheesecake.”
“I can’t even bake bread here, let alone cake. I don’t even know how to make it.”
“Yes. Hee hee.”
Seeing her as a different person than when she was anxious to go to the bathroom made her interested..
She is beautiful and has big breasts, and she talks to me softly, so it has to be.
After all, I’ve been single since yesterday, so who can say anything?
“Well, can I help you? I know how to cook too.”
“Then could you chop some onions and carrots?”
“Yes.”
Her one remaining heel wasn’t used after all, and after all, she didn’t do anything today.
But can she hate
He’s the one who fixed my right hand.
And I like the personality that is not like an Awakener.
Which awakened person in this world would help with cooking in the dungeon?
Well, in the past, before this system was in place, only the Awakened entered the dungeon, and at that time, I heard that they helped each other to clear the dungeon.
“I cut everything.”
“Ah, thank you.”
While me and Lee Dong-geul prepared dinner, men from the transport company were setting up a barricade on the other side of the tent.
It’s also why they don’t go home and camp with us.
In case of emergency, that barricade will protect our lives.
Of course, it’s not omnipotent, but just delaying it for a very short time would be enough to avoid annihilation.
Most equipment such as tents and barricades are coated with mana.
All of them are incredibly expensive, so companies like ours can’t own them.
That’s why it’s a rental, and the rental cost is also not easy.
In other words, today’s expedition is a huge loss for our company.
Of course, if you pack it well, it will be an investment, but…
To make that happen, take these fledglings and E-class. And you have to go to D-class dungeons and acquire items that can be money.
If that doesn’t work, I’ll be fired…
While I was thinking about this and that, the cooking was finished, and I was finally able to eat dinner.
We were seated at two tables, and I sat with the men from the carrier.
“Enjoy your meal. Our company is small, so we don’t have much to offer.”
“Is this your first time?”
“It’s the first time I’ve become a team leader. But I’ve been there as an assistant a few times.”
“Haha. That’s not what I mean, it’s that F-class dungeon customers are the best for our contractors. What’s the problem? Safe is the best. F-class dungeons don’t reduce the money we receive, so don’t worry. Hey, we like it here.”
Was it like that
Well, I heard that there are many cases in which companies purposely refuse expeditions to dungeons with an A-level difficulty or higher.
Because life is the most important thing
In preparation for such a situation, the country has an army.
I heard that such a dungeon goes on an expedition with the military with equipment owned by the country.
As I was eating and chatting with the vendors for a long time, an idea came to my mind.
A capsule-type item that I picked up earlier.
I wanted to show it to these guys.
I didn’t know if those who looked like veterans might know something.
It would be nice if it was expensive.
I stopped eating and went into the tent.
I must have put it in my gym bag with the canteen and shovel in it…
It was so small that it was hard to see as if it rolled deep into the bag.
In the end, I had to take out all the canteens and equipment in the bag.
“It annoys me, really.”
Only then did the capsule appear.
And the moment you hold it in your hand.
[Found user. Installation begins.]
“Ahh-!”
Suddenly, a strange sound in my head made me scream.
