Episode 33
Chapter 33. [Window Frame Craftsman’s Double-Pane Window +2]
“Item Crafting is enjoyable, but interior design is a whole different world. You know that ‘homes’ can also be enhanced, right?”
“…Hm?”
“This world is overflowing with wealthy people who spend hundreds of billions worth of Enhancement Scrolls to enhance their homes! And what about the Hunters who enhance their bases!”
“Uhh…?”
“Since you’re an Enhancement Specialist who can directly enhance using skills, how amazing is that?!”
“Huh?!”
“We want to recruit you into our industry!”
“…Wha?!”
A surprise scouting offer that came out of nowhere.
However, the Team Leader’s ambition was regrettably crushed.
The rectangular business card,
Snatch!
Seri grabbed it away.
“Thank you for your hard work, the remaining payment has been transferred so please head home!”
“If the Enhancement Specialist comes to our industry, they would literally devour the interior design industry and then some….”
“Whoa, whoa! We have no intention of devouring anything! Thank you for your work! Please leave now, go!”
“Ah, no! Wait a moment! Ugh! How are you so strong…?!”
Even the burly Crafting Hunters couldn’t overcome Seri’s strength.
With her slender white arms pushing them away one by one.
They were all driven out of the entrance in a line.
Until the very last moment of being pushed out, the Team Leader didn’t give up hope.
“Enhancement Specialist! If Hunter work gets boring, no, even as a side job, no, even as a hobby! Please contact us!”
“We won’t get bored! Safe travels!”
Bang!
After shutting the front door.
Seri went ‘Phew’ and pretended to wipe away sweat.
Then she whipped around and looked up at Kang Hoon.
“Good grief, I can’t let my guard down. Everyone’s making a fuss about taking Kang Hoon away.”
Looking at the grumbling Seri, Kang Hoon said.
“Thank you.”
Then.
Seri’s cat-like eyes became round and gentle.
“Huh? For what?”
“For giving me the workshop. I really like it.”
“…A, ahem!”
To think of giving a ‘workshop’ to an Enhancement Specialist.
‘As expected, an A-rank Hunter has A-rank sense too.’
That’s what Kang Hoon thought.
Really, wasn’t it the perfect gift?
“I’m so grateful, what should I do?”
“…Then buy me a meal sometime.”
Kang Hoon nodded and said.
“I’ll treat you to jjajangmyeon to celebrate moving. Have the large portion.”
“….”
“You can add jjamppong soup and fried dumplings too.”
“….”
“Or should I order sweet and sour pork too?”
“….”
Seri’s expression returned to cat-like again.
She looked at him demurely with narrowed eyes.
Then she dropped her shoulders and changed the subject.
“I’m full right now. Buy it for me next time.”
“Ah, yes. Next time.”
After sending Seri away like that.
Kang Hoon was left alone in the spacious home.
Stretching lightly as he crossed the living room felt strange.
To think he could walk around this long inside a house!
And he took out the [Dog Whistle +4] from his pocket and put it to his mouth.
Piiiii-!
The summoned spirit dog, Lucky, appeared immediately.
– Woof?
As if bewildered by the unfamiliar environment.
Lucky tilted his head and looked around.
His neatly placed front paws looked timid.
Lucky’s last memory would be,
‘The landlord doesn’t like it, so no.’
Kang Hoon sending him away.
“Hehehe. You can run around freely now.”
Patting the guy’s head, Kang Hoon said.
“Now you’re living here with me! This is my home!”
Lucky perked up his large dumpling-like ears.
Then he looked around again.
– Hek!!
He began running around joyfully here and there.
Kang Hoon was moved by this fresh feeling.
The words he had just spoken seemed to echo back to him.
“…’My home.'”
A combination so unfamiliar it didn’t roll off his tongue easily.
“My home.”
Could there be words sweeter than this!
A new and wonderful feeling.
To savor this feeling, Kang Hoon stood in front of the living room’s large window.
Below, the Han River could be seen, and in his hand was a glass!
Since he didn’t know much about alcohol, he filled it with water.
And he tried out a villain line he often saw in webtoons.
“Kyahaha! You foolish people! You’re all beneath my feet! I shall conquer this world soon!”
Even he found it absurd after saying it and couldn’t help but chuckle.
Still, he wanted to try it at least once.
If others saw this, they’d probably call him an otaku.
But so what?
It’s my home.
My perfect home where I live alone!
“Ahhhh, this is great!”
Soon Kang Hoon threw himself onto the living room sofa.
The soft and large sofa gently supported Kang Hoon.
Following its master, Lucky also came running over and jumped up.
“Waaah!”
Attacking Kang Hoon with its huge front paws.
– Huff! Huff!
Then it showed its belly and snuggled up against his side.
It still seemed to think it was a puppy.
“You’re a full-grown dog, you know…? You’re stronger than me!”
Rub rub rub rub!
While scratching the cute creature’s belly, Kang Hoon looked up at the ceiling.
His moment of being dazed with emotion was brief.
“Hmm. That Interior Design Team Leader from earlier was quite serious about recruiting me.”
Come to think of it, there was something stuck in his mind.
‘Homes’ can also be enhanced… he said.
Well, of course.
He’d heard that the world’s top-ranking Major Guilds have bunkers.
There’s no way they wouldn’t have used Enhancement Scrolls on those bunkers.
‘I hadn’t thought that far ahead.’
The Interior Design Team Leader was right.
‘What’s stopping me from trying it too?’
Whoosh!
Sitting up on the sofa, Kang Hoon was filled with new energy.
Just then, one material came to mind.
The window that had caught his eye from the moment he first saw the house!
[Window Frame Craftsman’s Double-Pane Window]
“This was exactly the window I wanted to try enhancing, perfect!”
Perhaps because he’d completed the move and felt at ease.
Things he hadn’t thought of before kept coming to mind!
“Ah! Come to think of it, I’m level 5 now.”
Kang Hoon had gone to the Dungeon to raise his Hunter level.
However, fulfilling the Korean dream!
Getting ‘his own home’ had made him.
Forget about his level entirely.
“What’s changed?”
To check.
He opened his Status Window for the first time in a while.
The blue rectangular screen greeted Kang Hoon with unusual news.
[lv.5 Enhancement Specialist] [Skills Owned: Enhancement ( 0 / 30 )]
“Huh, what?”
The number had changed!
The Status Window floating in the air.
Kang Hoon moistened his thumb with saliva and tried wiping at the number ’30’ for no reason.
“Is it a smudge?”
As if.
“Isn’t this a typo?”
Of course not.
Kang Hoon’s Enhancement Skill casting count had increased!
Originally, Kang Hoon’s unique skill ‘Enhancement’ could be cast 10 times per day.
Later, when he obtained the [Hammer of Success and Failure], it became 20 times thanks to the passive effect.
But now.
Kang Hoon, having reached level 5, was given 10 more opportunities.
That’s an increase of +2 times per level.
In other words.
From today, 30 enhancements per day were possible.
Enhancement equals money!
“If the skill count keeps increasing as I level up…”
Counting on his fingers absentmindedly, Kang Hoon was shocked.
The day he reaches level 20, no, 50, no, 100…
Who knows.
Kang Hoon’s income might expand to astronomical proportions!
“Awesome! I’ve succeeded in getting my own home, so I need to work even harder to make money!”
Kang Hoon was naturally diligent by nature.
Not a single day had passed lazily since his Awakening.
Enhancement was fun, and making money was even more fun!
Jumping up from his seat, Kang Hoon headed toward the gift he’d received today.
The finest workshop that a top-tier Hunter in the Interior Design Industry took pride in.
“Now then, shall we enhance this workshop into the ultimate fortress!”
Smack!
First, he placed his palm on the [Window Frame Craftsman’s Double-Pane Window].
Looking at it again, it was a well-crafted window.
Whoever made it.
If they had Awakened, they would have become an incredible crafting-type Hunter.
That’s what he thought.
“It’s too good a window to risk destroying.”
So without being greedy, he decided to enhance it just to +2.
“Enhancement, Enhancement!”
Clang!
Clang!
Claaang-!!
The refreshing sound of the hammer rang in his ears!
[Window Frame Craftsman’s Double-Pane Window +2]: A perfectly fitted double-pane window. This window with excellent rubber packing finish details has been promoted to Rare Grade through two enhancements. * [UV Protection 100%] * [Bullet Penetration Prevention 3 times ( 0/3 )]
“Oh! Windows can become Rare Grade too?!”
Enhancement itself was already enjoyable.
But to even get promoted to a Rare Grade item!
It felt like encountering a new genre.
“I don’t really understand the options but…”
Anyway, good UV protection.
Well, that’s nice.
If he’d been serious about skincare, he would have been very happy.
Though Kang Hoon was the type of guy who didn’t even apply sunscreen.
‘Bullet Penetration Prevention’ was also a cool feature.
If this double window had been in the middle of a battlefield, that would have been the case.
Though Kang Hoon doubted there would ever be a single moment in his lifetime when bullets would fly toward his home.
“Well, I can’t expect only what I need to come up every time.”
That’s what ‘gacha’ is.
“Hmm… Later when this workshop is filled with expensive items, maybe it’ll become useful then? Since thieves might break in, well…”
Thinking of it that way, it’s not bad.
In emergency situations, it might become a very good option.
Setting aside his self-consolation, Kang Hoon headed toward the desk.
The clean and spacious desk he newly obtained thanks to Seri.
“Let’s see.”
Tap!
As he placed his hand on it, the Information Value appeared.
[Golem’s Growth Ring Desk]: A work desk made from the waist of a giant tree golem as material. Created by a skilled craftsman, it has excellent durability.
But.
The content is quite unexpected!
“Oh my.”
He had only thought it was a desk with an unusual pattern.
To think it was a golem’s growth ring pattern!
It seems they used a considerably large Wood Golem as material.
To purchase golem timber of this size.
And in one whole piece at that, the price would be extremely high.
No, should I say “to hunt it”?
“Huh…”
The crafting Hunter’s skill comes second.
Who could have procured this precious timber for that Hunter?
It must have been Seri, the client.
“I should have ordered sweet and sour pork with eight treasures instead of just sweet and sour pork.”
I’ll have to express my gratitude separately later.
While making that resolution.
Kang Hoon placed his palm on the [Golem’s Growth Ring Desk] again.
“Hmm…”
But then he quickly pulled both hands away.
Flutter flutter!
While jumping in place.
Swoosh, swoosh, shake shake shake!
He began shaking his hands.
“Damn it. I can’t get a shit option! It’s too precious to waste on a shit option!”
Please let a useful option appear!
Bad luck energy from before, fly away!
“Hwaah! Hwaait! Bad hands go away! Golden hands come here!”
The so-called prayer meta.
Fluttering in place, shaking off the ‘shit energy’ from his hands!
At Kang Hoon’s dynamic movements, whatever they were.
– Huff, huff! Woof! Woof!
By the time even Lucky was wagging his tail and bouncing in place.
A somehow good feeling of ‘intuition’ flashed through Kang Hoon’s mind.
“Now’s the time!”
Smack!!
He pressed both palms against the precious desk!
