Episode 32

Chapter 32. No One Has a Good Eye

“Welcome! Ah, when it comes to Han River view apartments, we’re the specialists! Should I bring you tea or coffee? Some snacks perhaps?”

“No, that’s fine. I’d like to look at some homes right away.”

“Ah, of course, of course!”

The director immediately grabbed his coat and car keys.

Just as they were hurriedly about to leave the real estate office.

The middle-aged director asked with a puzzled expression.

“Um, what kind of work do you young folks do to already be looking for a home…?”

The answer was Seri’s responsibility.

As if she was used to this type of question.

“We’re Hunters.”

“Ah!”

The director’s attitude immediately became ten times more respectful.

With a kind business smile.

“Let’s go see the Han River view apartment right away!”

He began to escort the three people.

* * *

And so they arrived at the first apartment.

“It’s new construction. You could say this is the apartment most preferred by young couples these days~! There’s a gym in the basement, a department store is particularly close, the facilities are really nice and clean, and security is excellent~!”

It was indeed a neat and stylish apartment from the outside.

Seri and Ji-seong were impressed by the sophisticated interior design.

Only Kang Hoon seemed indifferent.

As soon as he leaned against a pillar placed in one corner of the spacious living room.

“…?”

It was because his mood had somehow turned bad.

What a strange feeling.

It felt like an ominous energy was rushing in.

‘What is this? Are there ghosts or something?’

If Kang Hoon had been a shaman, that might have been it.

‘But I’m an Enhancement Specialist. If an Enhancement Specialist feels an ‘ominous energy’…’

Just in case.

Kang Hoon placed his palm against the pillar.

The ‘information value’ he examined this way.

[Defective Pillar]: A pillar constructed thinner than design standards. Internal rebar was used less than regulations, and joint welding is defective.

“!”

Immediately, Kang Hoon turned to leave.

“Please show us another house.”

“What? Huh? You, you don’t like this place?”

Worried the apartment might collapse, Kang Hoon hurriedly headed outside.

Life is precious!

He evacuated to save his life.

However, Kang Hoon’s attitude came across differently to the director.

‘To show such a cold attitude after seeing such a nice house! He’s more particular than he looks. I’ll definitely find him a house he likes!’

With ambitious determination.

The director guided them to the second apartment.

“Here! This place is a bit more expensive than the apartment you just saw. It’s that much better of a house. The previous owner did all the interior work, and as you can see, it’s in the current trendy style and won’t get old.”

Listening to the long speech with one ear and letting it out the other.

Kang Hoon placed his hands on the walls and pillars.

Seri and Ji-seong watched Kang Hoon doing this.

They seemed to understand what Kang Hoon’s actions meant.

Peeking.

Seri poked her head out from behind Kang Hoon’s shoulder.

“How is it? Is it sturdy?”

Kang Hoon nodded.

“There’s no problem with the construction. But…”

Narrowing his eyes, Kang Hoon headed to the kitchen.

And.

‘Something about this bothers me.’

He touched the faucet that somehow gave him a bad feeling.

Sure enough!

The ‘information value’ was a sight to behold.

[Loose Faucet]: A faucet with tilted plumbing. Durability is completely worn out and failure is imminent. Poor waterproofing construction makes water leakage highly likely.

“Different house.”

Whoosh!

Second time.

p>Kang Hoon turned away, leaving the flashy interior behind.

Watching Kang Hoon, the siblings clicked their tongues.

“We didn’t need to come along.”

“Rather, Kang Hoon hyung should inspect our house. Can you help us when we move later?”

Making jokes that were half serious.

They arrived at the third apartment.

The director looked nervous even before opening the front door.

As if he already sensed he would lose the customer.

He began his uncertain guidance.

“Compared to the two houses we saw earlier, the interior isn’t as sophisticated… This apartment is famous for having few available units. People living here don’t usually put them on the market. Instead, the large window in the living room lets in good sunlight, and as you can see, you can see the Han River.”

Kang Hoon walked around the house.

Walls, plumbing, windows.

Even down to the door frames.

Watching him walk around touching everything, the director said nervously.

“Even though this house might look just ordinary compared to the nearby new construction. The price came out pretty reasonable compared to the previous two houses…”

At those words, Kang Hoon blinked.

“This house is the cheapest?”

“That’s right. It’s been on the market for months without selling, so they lowered the price a lot. Well, even so, it’s still a Han River view apartment on a high floor, so it’s expensive…”

Kang Hoon surveyed the spacious interior with his eyes.

Starting from the door frames, the overall design was old-fashioned.

An old apartment maintaining the original interior from when it was first constructed.

The interior could hardly be called sophisticated.

However.

“This looks good?”

Kang Hoon’s standards are different.

Interior design can just be redone.

He has more than enough money for that.

But the durability that stems from the design itself is a different matter.

Kang Hoon looked around the entire house once more.

This time, he read the ‘information values’ instead of the drab wood-tone interior.

[Crack-free Pillar] [Sturdy Wall] [Perfectly Assembled Door] [Master Craftsman’s Double Window]

Especially the [Master Craftsman’s Double Window] showed extraordinary craftsmanship.

The windows were so perfectly fitted that he wanted to enhance them.

“No one has an eye for quality. This house should be the most expensive one.”

Truly, every aspect is perfect!

“I’ll take this house.”

“What!?”

“Is it possible to complete the transaction today?”

“What!? Of, of course!”

What a turn of events.

This property had been a headache, unsold for an entire season!

The Director was so shocked he nearly jumped out of his seat.

“But don’t you need time to prepare? Have you already talked to the bank? You’ll need to get a loan and…”

“No, it’s fine.”

Sunlight streaming through the large window.

Feeling that pleasant warmth on the back of his hand, Kang Hoon smiled.

This is his first shopping experience since becoming an Enhancement Specialist.

Especially such a large sum that could be called a ‘flex.’

Spending such a large amount of money is a first in his entire life.

His first life flex.

“I’ll pay the full amount in cash.”

Kang Hoon bought a house!

* * *

If there was a ‘Speed Moving’ category in the Guinness Book of Records.

Park Kang-hoon’s name would have been newly recorded.

That’s how lightning-fast Kang Hoon’s move was.

The new house is very spacious.

…And the belongings taken from the tiny 1.5-room villa were too few.

So much so that the moving company staff clicked his tongue and said,

“Did you win the lottery or something? I’ve been doing moving jobs for 10 years, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone move from ‘that kind of house’ to ‘this kind of house.'”

That’s how much he meant it.

‘From ‘that kind of house’ to ‘this kind of house.’ That makes sense.’

The large, clean new house.

Even after moving all his belongings, there are still rooms left over.

What feels particularly empty is the master bedroom.

The largest room, typically used as a couple’s bedroom.

It has large windows and plenty of storage space.

It even comes with a bathroom and dressing room.

“Just putting my bed in here would be awkward… How should I decorate it?”

The only interior work he’d ever done was putting up bubble wrap insulation.

While pondering and scratching the back of his head.

Ding-dong.

The doorbell rang.

“Huh?”

Since there was no one who would visit him, Kang Hoon stood bewildered in front of the intercom.

What he saw on the screen was the first guest to visit Kang Hoon’s new house.

A cat-like woman with a pale face.

It was Seri.

“Hmm? How do I open this…”

The unfamiliar intercom touch screen.

After fumbling with it for a while, Kang Hoon finally opened the main entrance.

Seri arrived shortly after, accompanied by others.

It wasn’t Ji-seong, who usually stuck to her like glue.

Instead, several workers in work clothes were visible.

“Kang Hoon. I came to give you a housewarming gift.”

“A gift?”

Seri confidently entered Kang Hoon’s house.

This is the first time a woman has come to his ‘home.’

Unfortunately, Kang Hoon was too distracted to even notice this fact.

Seri gestured toward the master bedroom on the right and said.

“I noticed this room would be perfect when I saw it before. I’ll put the gift in this room. Good, right?”

At the sudden statement, Kang Hoon blinked and asked back.

“What’s the gift?”

Then Seri smiled broadly.

“Something that any crafting Hunter must have.”

“Something I must have…?”

“A workshop.”

At those words, Kang Hoon’s heart stirred.

‘A workshop!’

─The dream and aspiration of every freelancer!

Kang Hoon, who had been an illustrator, was no different.

Far from having a workshop, he could barely afford his studio apartment rent.

That very workshop.

He never dreamed he’d set one up after becoming an Enhancement Specialist.

And as a gift from a friend, no less!

“But a workshop isn’t an object. What do you mean you’ll give it as a gift?”

To Kang Hoon’s question,

“Come on in!”

Seri introduced her companions.

“Top-tier interior industry, the Best Team run by crafting Hunters.”

“…!”

Kang Hoon doesn’t know much about the Hunter world.

Unlike him, Seri has extensive connections.

Somehow she managed to persuade them.

She brought in a company that normally has a six-month waiting list in just one day.

“We’ve heard the rumors. That you’re the one and only Enhancement Specialist Hunter.”

Introducing himself as the team leader, the Crafting Hunter extended his hand for a handshake.

“It’s an honor to be in charge of your workshop interior.”

“Ah. The pleasure is all mine. Nice to meet you.”

Thud, thud, thud!

The team members brought in equipment bags containing magic items and prepared materials.

“We’ll create the most wonderful workshop in the world for you.”

The team leader made such a bold promise.

True to his words.

Bang bang bang!

Thud thud thud!

The skills of the Crafting Hunters were more than excellent.

Construction using magic items and professional skills.

Not only was it sturdy and reliable.

It was incredibly fast.

It took less than an hour to complete the construction.

“All done! It took a bit long because we put our heart and soul into it.”

The room that had felt overwhelmingly large and empty.

That room had transformed into a professional workshop!

“!!”

Kang Hoon doesn’t know much about interior design.

He had never particularly dreamed of such flashy things.

However, the moment he stepped into the completed workshop, he could tell.

‘This workshop is the best!’

It’s on a completely different level from Kang Hoon’s previous room.

‘I used to handle work, hobbies, sleep, and meals all in one room…’

Even in that tiny room, he had lived each day to the fullest.

Holding onto his determination alone. He had been working hard to find his own happiness.

But today.

“Wow…!”

A work desk was placed in the large window area overlooking the Han River.

It’s an environment where he can work while looking at the sky, river, and trees.

The spacious desk could not only move up and down but also adjust its width left and right.

The LCD tablet and computer spaces were neatly separated.

The display area that filled one entire wall was also perfectly organized.

Subtle lighting was installed in each section.

It seemed like anything placed there would look ten times more impressive.

The dressing room, which had an ambiguous purpose, was transformed into large storage for materials and inventory.

“Thank you so much.”

While looking around the interior of the workshop.

Just as his satisfaction was reaching its peak.

The team leader approached Kang Hoon, rummaging through his jacket pocket.

And he handed over a business card, saying.

“Enhancement Specialist. Are you satisfied? If you ever become interested in this industry, please contact me without fail.”

“Excuse me?”

It wasn’t asking for a 5-star review, but ‘please contact me.’

“What do you mean by that…?”
