Chapter 533 – Ep.531 Smith, a Black Company in Another World
《Minsu Seo (Deputy Director) has entered.》
Asshole Hunter: Who is this? Isn’t it our deputy chief?
When I logged in for the first time in a while, a senior I hadn’t seen in a while greeted me.
Seo Min-su (Deputy Manager): It’s been almost half a year.
Asshole Hunter: Oh, it’s only been half a year there?
Seo Min-su (Deputy Manager): How long has it been since you said that?
Asshole Hunter: There’s more to it than you think, right? More than that, why did you log in today? Everyone is on vacation except for those who are running errands, so I am the only one who is free.
It seems that the completion of the drawing will have to be postponed to a later date.
Seo Min-su (Deputy Manager): I came here to get some materials because I had a request.
Asshole Hunter: Eh, just accept that in advance. That way, it will be less hassle for both of us.
Seo Min-su (Deputy Manager): It would be troublesome if you were to hold it for no reason and get donated? And there is no guarantee that you will be able to make it, and it is a bit difficult to blindly receive materials.
Asshole Hunter: You are very careful. Well, if the person in question wants to do that, they can do it.
Seo Min-su (Deputy Manager): But Mr. Hole.
Asshole Hunter: Why? Have you created a new anal development object?
He is truly a person with strong tastes.
Well, I quite like it too.
Seo Min-su (Deputy Manager): That’s not it. You have received the sacred item, but when are you going to give me a rating?
Asshole Hunter: Ah
Seo Min-su (Deputy Manager): Oh?
Seo Min-su (Deputy Manager): Senior?
Seo Min-su (Deputy Manager): Hole senior? Hey?
What?
When I was chewing on the spout of an empty beer glass with my teeth, staring blankly at the chat window that had suddenly become quiet.
Asshole Hunter: Big… Uh, junior?
Seo Min-su (Deputy Manager): Yes?
Asshole Hunter: Sorry, but I don’t think I can give you a rating.
Seo Min-su (Deputy Manager): Yes? Why? Aren’t you satisfied?
Asshole Hunter: Oh, of course I was satisfied. I really had the most fun time in the past 100 years because of the relics you made.
Seo Min-su (Deputy Manager): But why can’t you give me a rating?
Asshole Hunter: Well, you know that, right? Ratings are only available for a week after interaction.
Now that I think about it, it seems like there was such a condition.
There were only a few interactions, and I was the one receiving the ratings for most of them, so I can’t help but have vague memories. Also, I just thought of it, but I understand that if you don’t leave a rating within the period, there is a pretty severe penalty.
Seo Min-su (Deputy Manager): If you don’t evaluate it on time, won’t you get a penalty?
Asshole Hunter: Uh, that doesn’t apply to the manager.
What a fucking company.
Asshole Hunter: I’ve been in charge of this for so long that I’ve lost the habit of leaving ratings. Actually, before you came, we didn’t interact much.
Seo Min-su (Deputy Manager): Armpit also received the sacred item a few months ago, but he didn’t leave a rating yet.
Asshole Hunter: Like me, you’re so immersed in the sacred items you gave me that you won’t even show your face until you get sick of it.
Seo Min-su (Deputy Manager): From a producer’s perspective, it’s very rewarding, but… I can’t help but like it.
Asshole Hunter: Heh heh, why would you want to interact with me right now? I’ll give it 5 stars right away.
Seo Min-su (Deputy Manager): Are there any benefits to getting a rating?
Asshole Hunter: I don’t remember well, but one of the benefits is that the company covers a portion of the value points you have to pay when interacting?
Seo Min-su (Deputy Manager): There’s no need. Anyway, all the value points are given by seniors.
Asshole Hunter: That’s right.
Seo Min-su (Deputy Manager): Anyway, then I will leave.
Asshole Hunter ; Sleep
I briefly removed my finger from the exit button at the typo that oozed urgency.
Seo Min-su (Deputy Manager): Is there anything you would like to request?
Asshole Hunter: That’s not it. I’m a little sorry that I forgot to leave a rating. If I have something similar to the material I was supposed to receive today, I will give it to you.
Seo Min-su (Deputy Manager): Stretchy material and high-quality jewelry. And I need the resonance stone I received back then.
Asshole Hunter: There are no specifications.
Seo Min-su (Deputy Manager): After giving it to me, aren’t you going to get it back from the senior who originally gave it to you?
Asshole Hunter: Of course.
And then you try to be condescending.
Asshole Hunter: It seems like everything will be there once you look for it, but as I said last time, the one Gong Myeong-seok gave me back then was the last one left.
Seo Min-su (Deputy Manager): Then, I would be grateful if you could at least give me the remaining ingredients.
Asshole Hunter: Just wait a moment.
It’s a bit disappointing that there isn’t a Gong Myeong-seok, but it’s not a big problem since you can get it from the person involved later. Since the goal right now is to get the drawing approved, all we have to do is disassemble one of the universal mechanisms and fill in the missing parts.
【Asshole Hunter (Manager) has applied for an exchange with Seo Min-soo (Deputy Manager).】
How long had I waited? The system window I had been waiting for appeared before my eyes.
【 Asshole Hunter (Deputy Manager) 】 (Basilisk Skin x10, Alabaster (1kg)) 《=====》 ( – ) 【Seo Min-su (Deputy Manager)】
※ Seo Min-soo (Deputy Manager) did not suggest anything. If you want to proceed with the exchange as is, you must pay 11,000 value points.
【 Asshole Hunter (Manager) paid 11,000 points and accepted the exchange.】
【Exchange has been completed.】
【Please check the exchanged item in the storage box.】
The exchange proceeded quickly and without interruption.
Even though I only received two ingredients, 11,000 points were required.
Seo Min-su (Deputy Manager): Thank you. But what makes it so expensive?
Asshole Hunter: I think it’s because of the alabaster. To me it’s just a pretty rock, but to you it seems to be quite valuable.
Seo Min-su (Deputy Manager): Seolhwamyeon…Is it a stone related to snow?
Asshole Hunter: ㅇㅇ If it doesn’t break, it’s a pretty and cool stone, but the moment it breaks, it’s filled with a coldness that scatters snow enough to turn the surrounding area into a snowy field for a while.
What is that scary?
Seo Min-su (Deputy Manager): Well, first of all, thank you.
I just wanted a reasonably large gem that could hold magical power, but I ended up getting something that looked like a strategic weapon. Well, you can’t take it out of the material storage area, so you don’t have to worry about it being stolen.
Seo Min-su (Deputy Manager): Then I will come back next time.
Asshole Hunter: Before I go, I need to let you know who I need to get materials from.
Seo Min-su (Deputy Manager): You can give it to Mr. Semen Tank.
Asshole Hunter: ㅇㅋ water polo
Seo Min-su (Deputy Manager): Good luck.
After leaving the chat window, I disassembled one of the two all-purpose devices I had made as spares and then applied for review of the drawing again to the higher-ups.
《’Design-No Name’ has been approved.》
《Please enter the full name of ‘Design-Unnamed’.》
‘… ?’
What, I haven’t received the cleanliness scroll yet, so why was it approved?
With a puzzled mind, I looked through the ingredients in the material storage room. And it wasn’t difficult to find the reason.
‘Clear Slime’s core, I feel like it was approved because of this.’

Rather than giving it a name that seemed like it had something to do with stockings, I unified it with the previous ones so that people could tell what kind of item it was just by looking at the name, so I just added the modifier “All-purpose” In front of the straitjacket.

And it’s been a while since I’ve seen the detailed settings page.
Perhaps because I had thought about it in advance and had done it a few times, I filled in the blanks much faster than I expected.

I really put in everything I could.
All that remained was the order of adding the materials needed for production and deciding on the color of the straitjacket.
However, since I wasn’t planning on using it right away, I saved it in the final step and closed the system window.
“It’s been a while since I used my brain too much. “The sweetness of poetry makes my breast milk tickle.”
The very moment I was about to lay my head down on the ledge of the bathtub with the thought of hanging out a little longer and then getting out.
【Loser Seo Min-su.】
‘… It’s a surprise.’
At the sudden voice of Sith, I immediately sat down.
‘Why? What’s going on?’
【It’s not a bad thing. However, the report you need to select was just delivered to me through the security guard here.】
‘Watch? ‘It’s not really a bad thing, right?’
My heart pounded as I wondered if Siran and Bizeli had gotten into a big fight.
【Do you remember the female interrogator named Aria that you met in the capital of the empire a while ago?】
‘Of course. I don’t forget boys’ names, but I don’t forget girls’ names. But why Aria? She said she would soon arrive in Mallingta. What happened?’
【A group of thieves suspected of being cultists were eliminated and captured, but there were not enough wagons to transport them, so we requested that personnel be dispatched.】
‘… ?’
I asked Sis, rubbing my arms against the goosebumps that suddenly appeared.
‘… ‘Where is it?’
【It is said that I am staying in the city where you stayed for the first time after leaving Mallingta.】
Baselan.
It was the city that followed Kernax’s dispatch, and it was also the city where he met Nyaho.
‘It’s so close.’
It was a city located in a neighboring territory, three days away by horseback.
【So what are you going to do?】
‘How can I do it?’
Wow~!!
I answered by jumping out of the bath.
‘Of course I have to send it. ‘Select Vex and a few others and send them to the guard.’
After confidently giving instructions to Sis, I left the bathhouse to use Nyaho Chance again today.
