Mr. Kim Strikes It Rich with Auto-Hunting [Novel] Chapter 79

Chapter 79

Tap, clack, tap-tap-!

“Bear brat, that clacking sound is so refreshing.”

Agreed.

The keyboard sound is nice.

It’s fascinating every time I see it.

The teddy bear, Todd.

His hands are clearly short and stubby, being a doll and all.

Yet when you watch him, he types insanely fast.

“Todd seems way faster than me, doesn’t he?”

“Correct! Boss, clack-clack slow! Turtle!”

“Hey now.”

You and me, huh?

Our fields of work are different.

I don’t need to bark orders at subcontractors that quickly….

“Boss, give you cup of coffee?”

Giving the disease and then the cure, are you?

Still, well.

Let’s have a cup.

“This way! Drinking here makes it tasty!”

Kya….

I wondered where he was going, and it’s the terrace.

The leisure of a cup of coffee.

And the Han River view.

Isn’t this vibe insane?

“…….”

Joined by the ever-quiet Robin.

They’ve already adjusted completely.

Look at them enjoying the Han River while drinking coffee together side by side.

The atmosphere is almost like a New Yorker.

“Robin, how Is this place? Do you like it?”

“…Yeah.”

Yep.

It seems that way.

The Highest-grade worker, Robin.

What does she like?

Meat, and spacing out while looking outside.

The veranda was originally her dedicated spot anyway.

After moving, she seemed to like it even more.

To the point where she didn’t even train for the past few days and only stared at the Han River.

If we’re talking satisfaction, Robin’s might be the highest, right?

Still, I understand.

“The view here really is great.”

A Han River view is certainly a Han River view.

It is nice to zone out and look at it.

So this is why people look for Han River views.

Still, I wonder if it’s something to stare at all day.

I quickly understood, though.

Well….

Those workers.

Once they get hooked on something, they rarely get sick of it.

Arthur alone goes crazy for coffee every day.

Same goes for Rani.

Clang, bang, clang, bang.

“Hehe-!”

She’s been crafting gear for days now.

Look at her enjoying it every time.

Of course, once she’s done making everything, she gets exhausted.

Even so?

Come morning, her stamina is completely restored.

From then on, she laughs cheerfully again.

“Phew…. Shall I slowly get started.”

Yeah.

Our Rani works that hard too.

I should do my job as well.

“Let’s head to the 69th Floor.”

——-

Name: Yun Hajun (Lv. 69) / Republic of Korea

Class: Manpower Management Director

Unique Skill: Worker Summon (Grade – Platinum) / Fixed Team Summon

——-

Currently, Yun Hajun’s Tower floor is the 69th floor.

If I climb just One more floor?

The 70th floor.

From then on, a lot of things change.

For starters, the Manpower Management Bureau functions will unlock.

“I’m looking forward to it.”

Just how many functions couldn’t I use due to restrictions even after moving?

——-

Manpower Management Bureau

[Worker Dispatch]

– Tower

– Dungeon

– Office (Eye of Truth)

– Office (Eye of Truth, Beijing)

[Fixed Team Management]

[Request]

[Worksite Exploration]

[Worker Training Ground]

[Fitting Room (Openable)]

[Subcontractor Management]

[Unlock Additional Functions]

[Management]

——-

“Hmm….”

Practically most of the newly added functions.

The Fitting Room.

The dispatch locations in Subcontractor Management.

And even the Unlock Additional Functions.

Every single One of them had a 70th floor restriction.

“The only thing applied right now is about the shield.”

This is basically…

practically pushing me on the back to hurry up and reach the 70th floor.

Same goes For the quests.

[Quest List]

1. Enter the 70th floor of the Tower of Chaos.

2. Use the Fitting Room.

3. Set up subcontractor dispatch locations.

The quests I’ve received right now.

What do they have in common?

The answer: 70th floor restriction.

At first, I felt overwhelmed wondering when I’d clear them.

Thinking about it now—.

“As long as I hit the 70th floor, they’ll all be cleared in a row, so isn’t that a massive win?”

Things like that are originally what’s truly sweet.

Of course, I’ll have to reach the 70th floor.

Alright.

Then shall we head out right away?

“Now, now, let’s all gather up.”

We have to go to work now.

* * *

Our workers, always prompt.

As soon as I called, they all gathered up..

“Boss, Newbie is missing?”

“Ah, right…. I sent him on a dispatch to Pyongyang. I totally forgot.”

I should summon him now at least.

[Monitoring]

Yeo Hae, whom I dispatched to Pyongyang early in the morning.

It was even by his own will.

He asked to be sent there as soon as he was summoned.

What could he be doing?

Turning on the monitoring—.

“Ugh….”

He’s trembling all over with his head fully submerged in the sea.

Is that Yeo Hae or seaweed?

“Boss. That Newbie punk, what is he doing?”

“What else could he be doing….”

It’s because of you, man.

Rambling about overcoming it with willpower or whatever.

He’s doing that because you egged him on.

“But, does that work?”

“How should I know?”

How would I know that?

You’re the One who said it….

Since I’m curious, let’s at least ask.

“Mr. Yeo Hae, how is it? Do you feel like you’re overcoming your trauma a bit?”

“Uwaah….”

“Can you not hear me?”

“I hear you….”

Look at that voice.

He’s practically dying.

“Well, does it feel like you’re overcoming it a bit?”

“Yes! I will overcome this!”

Hmm….

The reply isn’t very convincing.

As expected.

No matter how you look at it, that method isn’t right.

Still, let’s leave him be For the time being.

He needs to give it his all once before he can give up or whatever.

However.

“For now, please return. We’re going to conquer the 69th floor.”

Arthur, Robin, Unjang.

Those three are more than enough.

Even so, why bother doing it with just them?

If possible, we should go at full power and finish it quickly.

I’m looking forward to using the new functions right now.

So, hurry on back.

Because as soon as you arrive, I’ll send you back to the Tower.

* * *

[Successfully conquered the 69th floor of the Tower of Chaos!]

[Your level has increased.]

“Kya….”

A clean and successful conquest.

Yeah.

A whopping three Highest-grades.

On top of that, an Advanced-grade whose firepower is on par with a Highest-grade joined in, so it had to go smoothly.

“Advanced Worker Yeo Hae, returning after completing the mission! Loyalty!”

“Yes, good work.”

“May I return once again now?!”

Huh?

Where are you going back to?

Don’t tell me.

“Pyongyang?”

“Yes! I will devote myself and return after overcoming my trauma!”

No.

This crazy training freak.

You went through hell in the sea since morning.

You even just cleared the Tower right now.

And yet you’re saying you’ll go to the sea again?

“I did mention this last time, but you can rest a bit, you know?”

“No, sir! I cannot rest until I overcome my trauma and become a Highest-grade worker!”

Goodness.

His mindset is truly extraordinary.

How can I even stop him like this?

Nothing I can do.

“Okay, then I’ll send you over, so keep it up.”

“Loyalty!”

Park Mu-pal might be bewildered.

Once in the morning, once in the afternoon.

He’ll keep asking to be sent to the sea.

Still, well.

I saved his life, so he should at least do that much.

“Boss, call weak brats now?”

“Intermediate and Low-grade workers?”

Hmm….

I will summon them.

Just in a little bit.

Right now, since we climbed the Tower, I need to open up the rewards.

“Let’s check out the newly added functions first.”

I climbed the Tower first precisely because of this, right?

I must check it.

Now.

Let’s take a look at the Fitting Room first.

If I press the Fitting Room.

[Condition – 70th floor of the Tower of Chaos or higher]

Yep.

I already climbed it.

[Conditions met]

[You can open the Fitting Room at the desired location.]

“Kya. This is it.”

The location, I’ve decided on it.

The small room next to the entrance.

Wouldn’t this be the most convenient, after all?

This way, please.

* * *

Flash!

[Opening the Fitting Room.]

[You can temporarily change the appearance of beings within the range of the Manpower Management Bureau.]

[The changed appearance remains applied even if they leave the Bureau’s range.]

The Fitting Room opened with a flash of light.

Did something change?

Stepping inside.

“Hmm….”

It’s the exact same?

It’s a bit different from the Training Ground.

There’s no ON / OFF or anything like that.

After looking around in all directions, I froze.

“Oh, found it.”

——-

[Select a target.]

– Yun Hajun (Manpower Management Director)

– Arthur (Worker / Highest-grade)

– Robin (Worker / Highest-grade)

– Rani (Worker / Highest-grade)

……

…

——-

A list extending all the way down.

The peculiar thing is.

“I’m in the targets too?”

Jackpot.

If I use this well later, might it be useful?

And—.

“It looks like I can change Intermediate and Low-grade workers too.”

As I scrolled all the way down, they popped up.

“As expected of the Manpower Management Bureau….”

How can every single function be so solid?

It’s so sweet every time.

For now, since it’s newly unlocked, I should try using it.

[Designate a target.]

Hmm.

Who should I start with?

Then again.

Why ponder?

I can just do everyone.

Select all workers.

Once I designate and even press confirm?

Two choices pop up.

[Manual / Automatic]

“Hmph….”

A function similar to the Fitting Room.

Temporary Camouflage Ticket.

Back then?

It was random.

Does this mean I can change it manually too?

I’m curious, but right now it’s a hassle.

Let’s check that out later and go with automatic For now.

With a tap of selection.

Flash!

Light flashed all over the house.

“Boss! Where are you? Come out, I’m Korea person again.”

“What the?! Rani’s hair turned black too!”

“Ho-ho, it seems the Director did something.”

“Oh…? Worker Unjang, how do I look to you?”

“You look like a small child Instead of a bear.”

Whoa….

This actually works?

Within the range of the Manpower Management Bureau.

So that’s what it meant.

Then it’ll work on other floors or the rooftop too.

“Nice, isn’t it?”

“Boss? Boss did this?”

Oh, Arthur came over.

His way of speaking is still the same.

However.

His appearance completely changed.

From his clothes, face, hair color, and even eye color.

Using a Temporary Camouflage Ticket For this costs 2,000P each time.

If I change all the workers like right now?

A whopping 10,000P, but….

From now on, it’s free.

“Kya….”

I shout out again today.

“Long live the Manpower Management Bureau.”

There’s not even a 24-hour time limit.

That means—.

“We could go out anywhere, couldn’t we?”

“Whoa-! Then can we go to an amusement park too? Rani wants to go!”

“An amusement park? Of course.”

“Gasps! Really?!”

Just hearing about it makes her that happy.

She’s stamping her feet in excitement, making a whole fuss.

Is an amusement park the only thing?

“When we have time later, let’s try riding an airplane too.”

“An airplane?! Really? Rani loves that! I want to fly!”

I know, I know.

That’s why I told you last time.

Let’s do everything you guys want to do later.

Of course, that’s For later.

“Today, since we’ve changed our appearances anyway, shall we go eat meat?”

“……Meat?”

What the.

Robin, weren’t you out on the terrace?

Your ears are sharp anyway.

“Yep, meat.”

A place more expensive and better than where we ate last time.

Turns out there’s One near here.

“Do you speak of that meat that melted gently in one’s mouth?”

Lord Unjang seems to remember too.

Correct.

The One I packed separately and grilled For the Orcs and Lord Unjang.

By the way, did you know?

“For your information, meat tastes much better when you grill and eat it directly at the restaurant.”

“Oh…, is that so?”

“Of course.”

“This mage found it delicious last time as well.”

“Come on, it’s not just on that level.”

It goes without saying.

Grilling and eating on a portable stove with a frying pan at home.

How could you compare that to grilling over charcoal on a proper grill at a meat restaurant?

This won’t do.

I should properly show them today.

Ah.

Before we go, though.

[Monitoring]

“Mr. Yeo Hae. We’re going to eat meat now, so please return.”

“Did you say meat?”

“Yes, melt-in-your-mouth beef.”

“Gasps….”

How about that.

Tempting, isn’t it?

Yet Look at him hesitating.

He’s a crazy training freak Honestly.

Nothing I can do.

“It’s the Director’s order, return.”

Bringing him back by force.

If possible, we should eat together.

I’m going to bring the Orc workers along today too.

It wouldn’t do if Yeo Hae is left out.

“Yes! I shall return immediately!”

Okay.

Then while he’s returning.

Let’s check Subcontractor Management.

[Subcontractor Management]

Among those.

[Subcontractor Dispatch Location Registration / Management]

This.

What could it possibly be?

I was curious.

I can finally find out.

Now, let’s open it up.

[Registering the subcontractor’s dispatch location.]

[You can obtain rewards based on activities at the dispatch location.]

“Uh….”

So basically.

It gives rewards when the subcontractor carries out activities?

Oh….

Isn’t this pretty damn good?
