Sleepman of a Ruined World 312

Chapter 312 – 312. Factory 2

“What’s there?”

“There? No one knows what’s there.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Something is protecting it. But most people don’t know what it is. The factory is almost the only factory operating in Korea. Moreover, its scale and power are not easy.”

“What do you think? Wasn’t it just like a corner store?”

“A corner store?”

Minhee looks at me with an absurd expression. What? What did I say wrong?

“I see. I never explained the factory properly.”

Then he opens his storage and takes out something.

That… Atlas?

Minhee opens somewhere holding a map book.

What she unfolded was a map with Cheongju marked on it. Minhee shows herself and draws a big circle with her hand.

“Do you see this place? It says it’s an industrial complex?”

“Uh.”

“It goes a little beyond that, from here to here. This is the factory.”

“Huh? It’s not just one or two, is it?”

“That’s right. A factory is not just one or two factories. You can think of all the factories in Cheongju as included. All the factories in the industrial complex. Do you understand?”

“Ah… It’s big. I was small in scale.”

“And… You’ll find out when you get there. You might be a little surprised.”

“What is it? Tell me.”

“It would be better to see it in person. They say seeing is worth seeing, right?”

“Why are you so reserved? Huh?”

As I said that and wrapped my arms around Minhee’s waist, she smiled seductively and brought her face closer to my mouth.

“It’s because I lack the ability to express myself. Moreover, it was almost a year ago that I went there. A lot may have changed in that time.”

Minhee whispers intimately. Her tone of voice feels like it’s gently tickling my spine.

Just listening to it makes me feel itchy. And it feels like there is a lot of power underneath.

“Anyway, it’s the best at teasing people.”

I lightly kiss Minhee’s lips as she came so close.

This woman is like that. When I look at her lips, I want to kiss her without even realizing it.

Is it because I put on makeup? Everyone has a plain face without makeup, but you alone have a lively face.

Pure white face and red lips. And eyes.

Even though I don’t know much about makeup, this woman’s makeup skills are amazing.

Of course, this effect is achieved because the original is pretty, but…

“Minhee.”

“Yes?”

“The cosmetics I use now. You said you got them from the factory, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Are there many types of cosmetics there?”

“No. Who would be looking for cosmetics when they are busy making a living? There aren’t many of them. Of course, there are people who are looking for them, so I could get them.”

“People looking?”

“Well, you know what? High-ranking people?”

Minhee points to the sky with her finger.

“It’s high… But you can guess it.”

They’re probably from the Royal Club or something, right?

Minhee looks at me curiously, who seems to know something.

“I get curious when you get lucky like that.”

Minhee’s slender fingers lightly touch my chest.

Fingers sliding down. It’s an insignificant movement, but all the attention is focused on it.

Is it magic? Is it some sort of magic that focuses people?

“Well, I’ll tell you slowly. It’s not a short story. Anyway.”

Let’s change the topic and go back to what we were talking about earlier.

“So the cosmetics you are using now are not the cosmetics you originally used?”

“Is that so? I’m using it as best as I can, but… I’m not completely satisfied with it.”

“How about that? Why don’t you go shopping with me?”

“Shopping?”

“I got a good skill, so I should use it.”

Then Minhee made a bright expression as if she understood what I said.

“There was a way!”

“Let’s go to the department store.”

“You can use regression in cosmetics too. Really… You seem really smart!”

“If you understand, let’s go right away. Can I leave the seat?”

“Yes. Just a moment.”

Minhee then picks up the walkie-talkie and gives instructions.

It looks like walkie-talkies are being used here too. But. There is nothing more important than communication. Receiving reimbursement in real time. That’s important.

It is the most important core that allows an organization to move organically anywhere.

“It’s okay. Let’s go.”

“Hmm. Looks like you have a good system.”

“You can’t make a mistake twice.”

Although he is smiling, there is a shadow in that corner that can never be brightened.

I can’t help it. How long has it been since I was in a bad situation?

That’s why I want to make Minhee smile even more. Well, I don’t know if I deserve it.

“But… How do I get there?”

Me checking how far the window is open in response to Minhee’s question.

And Minhee, looking at me like that, becomes a little meditative.

“No way… Again?”

“That’s the fastest.”

“No! It’s scary!”

“I’ll fly low.”

“No… Still.”

“There is no opening here. Let’s go out. Dress warmly.”

Minhee is quite afraid of flying.

It’s a big deal. If you want to survive in this harsh world, you must at least learn how to fly.

Well, it feels different having someone else carry it and flying it yourself.

Flying is too fraudulent to not use it just because it’s scary. It is a skill that must be learned at all costs.

Minhee puts on her coat. When I saw that, I said something.

“Aren’t you cold? Should I wear something warmer?”

“It’s okay. This is enough.”

Really… Women are amazing when they see things like that. Seeing people walking around with bare legs even in the middle of winter is really… It’s like a different creature.

Minhee, and she came out, and I politely offered her my arm.

Minhee sighs, exhales, and then hugs me.

I wrote her flight by holding her with her stability.

There is no need to force fear into people who say they are scared, so fly low and set off right away.

Minhee was scared for a moment when she climbed over the castle’s container wall, but after that, her expression became quite relaxed as she only moved about 1 meter above the ground.

“But, do you know where you are going?”

“I’m going after seeing the sign.”

“Ah. A sign.”

“Well, signs are useful. There are more things written on them than you think.”

That’s how we arrived at the department store.

The first floor of department stores is always full of women’s cosmetics stores.

This is the case in almost nine cases out of ten at any department store. Well, it’s a natural result. Because it is clear who the main consumer group of department stores is.

It is very natural to place cosmetics in the most accessible place.

The first floor is now almost like a ruin.

But at this moment, Minhee seemed to be able to see what it was like before the world collapsed, when people were buzzing.

Minhee passes by the cosmetics stores with a light step.

And from that moment on, I really… I couldn’t say anything and had no choice but to follow her.

It was only then that I realized for the first time what it meant for a woman to have all the cosmetics she wanted.

She was very careful and missed nothing.

And the movement was thoroughly calculated, without any waste.

Minhee is constantly picking up and checking products with a slightly frowned brow.

The only time she opens her mouth is to ask me a favor.

“Can you please revert this?”

“Return. Return.”

A woman opens new cosmetics, smells it, applies it to the back of her hand, and rubs it with her fingertips.

After checking the cosmetics, I immediately put them in my storage.

“This too.”

“Regression, regression.”

Spray it, apply it, touch it… A woman who reads it carefully, checks it again, and puts it in storage.

To me, it was just cream. I don’t know what the difference is.

It definitely seems like I bought something again, and I have no idea what the difference is between the previous one and the current one.

Light blue bottle, white bottle, transparent bottle, brown bottle. Pink bottle.

Elongated bottle, square bottle, round bottle, flat bottle.

To me, he just looked like a bottle collector. Ah… I’m taking this bottle because it’s pretty. Just that much.

So I just stopped thinking.

It’s just a simple thing that Minhee asks, and I just have to say ‘return, return’ over and over again.

Minhee, who had been choosing cosmetics for a while, looks at me and says.

“I’m sorry. It’s boring, right?”

“No. To be honest, it’s a bit surprising. It looks fun.”

“Then I’m glad. I haven’t even seen half of it yet…”

Those words felt a little distant.

Half of half? This much? Really?

Minhee started to choose while explaining to me as if she felt sorry.

“Up until now, I had mainly looked at toner, skin, and essence… Now, I’m going to look at ampoules and serums. I looked at a few creams first, but I haven’t really looked at them yet… Ah. Would you like this too?”

“Regression, regression.”

To be honest, I barely understood what was being said.

Wouldn’t it be similar to Minhee barely understanding when I explain the performance of game items or equipment?

Still, Minhee seems to like explaining things, so I listen in silence. Well, there might be a use for this knowledge someday, right?

“And… I also need to take eye cream… This is all basic makeup.”

“Huh? Basics?”

“Yes. It’s a bit much, right?”

“I thought I had roughly explained the course menu to the waiter, but it felt similar to the fact that they were only introducing appetizers.”

“Well… It’s somewhat similar.”

“Haha… But who teaches you that?”

“Hmm. Well, you learn it naturally. You don’t just learn it from someone in a short period of time, you learn it one by one from a young age.”

“I see. You learn throughout your life.”

“It’s like that anyway. What you apply varies depending on your age. It also varies depending on the skin condition. It also varies depending on the season.”

“So are you spending all that much?”

The amount of cosmetics Minhee has already packed is quite large. Are you really applying it all at once?

“No. I’m just getting everything while I’m here. I have money to store anyway. Furthermore, I don’t know if an opportunity like this will come again or not.”

“Why do you say that? I can do anything you want.”

“Well, once someone follows me shopping for cosmetics, they usually don’t want to come back again.”

I don’t know if it came from experience, but Minhee’s expression was meaningful.

But… That also makes sense. An act that can never be understood through a man’s eyes.

It’s good to come with pretty makeup, but it’s similar to not being able to wait for the time to apply makeup.

“It’s fun, so don’t worry.”

“He’s an amazing person. Really.”

Meanwhile, Minhee selects cosmetics again.

“But. This may sound a little ignorant, but shouldn’t you just take everything here? You’re a storage master anyway, so I think you can take all the cosmetics here and go.”

“You’re tired. I need to use the regression skill.”

“It doesn’t matter if you think you’re skilled anyway. You’re doing it together while you’re at it.”

“Hmm… Really? Then I can choose without feeling sorry?”

“Yes. If possible, what are you talking about? Two other women in the castle. Let’s get some for them too.”

“That’s not bad either. Then I can take a little more, right?”

“Uh, don’t worry, just choose as much as you want. I’ll do all the calculations.”

“Foot.”

Minhee smiles when she sees me making a slightly boastful expression.

I approach her and say.

“After all, you’re putting on pretty makeup just to show me, right? How could you not like that?”

Why do I want to act grumpy whenever I see Minhee?

Minhee has that side. Luxury side. The feeling of being present.

When I’m with her like that, I feel like I want to be on the same level as her.

You could call that bluff, but… You could call it Tokyo.

I’ve never done anything like this before. And I don’t know how to become luxurious.

That’s why, when I have her by my side, she feels like I’m in the same class as her.

The desire to show off, the desire to conquer, the desire to possess… Obvious things like that.

Fortunately, Minhee quite likes that side of me.

Well, you might think it’s cute on the inside. Because I laughed anyway. It doesn’t matter because I’m smiling sincerely.

After hearing what I said, Minhee started picking up cosmetics in earnest.

If it felt like they were carefully selecting each item one by one, now it feels like they are giving you a passing necklace if they are good enough?

It was almost five hours after Minhee came in that she finished shopping for cosmetics.

“Oh my… I guess I got too excited. I’m sorry. Furthermore, I didn’t realize how much time had passed.”

“Yes. I really didn’t realize how much time was passing by and chose it. But it was still fun. I saw Minhee’s childlike side, so it was okay. My skill level also increased a lot.”

No joke, my skill level has increased by about 15%.

15 percent is regression number 750. Since I used each product twice, I chose 375.

Of course, it includes makeup pads and other miscellaneous things… Still, it is not a small number.

It’s amazing, really. I think it’s amazing.

“Our Seongcheol. You’ve done a lot for me, so I should repay you.”

Meanwhile, Minhee folds her arms around me.

Repayment? Nice… Then again, I won’t decline or do anything like that.
