Only I Have Two Towers Episode 083

New Territory

In front of Jinhyeok’s officetel.

Se-yeon’s eyes widened as she waited in the car.

“You came back quickly?”

On the way to Seoul Player Hunter Bureau.

He said he had something to check briefly and got out, so she thought it would take a while, but he came back out almost as soon as he entered the entrance.

“I just checked if there were any deliveries.”

Jinhyeok got into the passenger seat with a smile.

Actually, checking for deliveries was a lie.

Card heroes who can only manifest within a certain range based on their master.

He had gotten out briefly so they could manifest at home.

“Then shall we go? Put on your seatbelt.”

“Yes.”

As Se-yeon’s car slid onto the road.

Ding. Ding. Ding. Ding.

His phone rang incessantly.

“Isn’t that a call for you, Jinhyeok?”

“It’s fine. It’s probably advertising texts.”

He glanced at the screen slyly.

Card payment messages from delivery apps.

Kancheo, who had been starving since Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, was going on a rampage.

‘If I had brought him to the Hunter Bureau, there would have been a riot.’

Jinhyeok swallowed dryly.

When they first manifested, his friends had said.

That they didn’t need to sleep or eat anything.

That’s definitely what they said. But now they not only ate three meals a day but also got a full 8 hours of sleep.

When mealtime passed, they would rub their growling stomachs saying they were hungry.

‘Eat a lot.’

He smiled thinking of his friends who would be happy surrounded by delivery food.

Judging by the notifications still ringing, he didn’t know how much they were ordering, but if his friends were happy, that was enough for him.

Meanwhile, Se-yeon, who was driving, was feeling a strange sense of relief.

‘So there was a reason he doesn’t check KakaoTalk.’

It wasn’t that he was intentionally ignoring messages, but that he was just naturally insensitive to such things.

Jinhyeok, who had been admiring Seoul’s night view, opened his mouth.

“I’m sorry to Se-yeon. You were called to the Hunter Bureau because of me, right? You’re already busy with the 50th Floor section transfer these days.”

“No. Rather than being called, I went there myself.”

Se-yeon opened Instagram.

It was a photo of Jinhyeok following Xiao Chen around.

“I saw this and called Team Leader Jin Yun-ho. I went to Incheon Airport together too.”

“Then you’ve been out since yesterday?”

“Well, yes.”

“I feel even more sorry.”

“You don’t need to. You haven’t slept at the Hunter Bureau, have you? The facilities are really good. The food is good too.”

Se-yeon, who used to sleep at the Hunter Bureau quite often before becoming a ranker.

Staying at the Hunter Bureau wasn’t particularly unfamiliar to her.

“But weren’t you going on an overseas trip? How did you end up… like this?”

She had so many things to ask that her question came out vaguely.

“That’s what I’m saying.”

He scratched his head.

Jinhyeok hadn’t planned for this from the beginning either.

Since it was his first overseas trip, he had planned to eat Chinese food and tour the beautiful snowy mountains.

The journey that started with kidnapping went through illegal stay and ended with illegal entry.

‘According to the system, I never went on an overseas trip.’

He made a sad expression.

Next time, he definitely had to go properly.

Se-yeon, who had been looking at Jinhyeok, let out a small sigh.

What he fed Ryugai, how he got such a potion, what he did at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain – she had a mountain of questions, but decided to stop.

He was already a person full of question marks.

If she interrogated him one by one, dawn would break.

‘It could be his charm.’

Se-yeon smiled faintly.

A person who made her more curious every time she saw him.

This type was a first for her.

“Tell me before your next trip. I’ve traveled around the world quite a bit. I’ll tell you everything I know.”

“Thank you. I really should do that.”

Jinhyeok nodded.

They say someone who has eaten meat eats it better.

Before his next overseas trip, he should ask and make some plans.

The car entered under a large building.

They had arrived at the Player Hunter Bureau.

The employee-only cafe located in the Hunter Bureau.

Jinhyeok took a sip of sweet latte and looked down at his phone.

Ding. Ding. Ding.

The notification sound that had been quiet for a moment started ringing again.

This time they were skillfully ordering desserts from ice cream to waffles and cakes.

‘Thank goodness. When I lived in the basement, I didn’t teach them how to use delivery apps.’

The days when they ate chicken and pizza while calculating money.

If he had taught them then, he would have gone bankrupt in a day.

The cafe door opened and Ihwa came in.

The Tzuyou people who were going through naturalization procedures at the Hunter Bureau.

Ihwa seemed to be the first one finished.

Since there was only Jinhyeok in the cafe, she walked over waving her hand immediately.

“Are you all done?”

“Yeah. We’re still at the stage of deciding where to live, but everything else is done.”

Ihwa, who had felt awkward using formal speech since she used informal speech at first.

So they agreed to speak informally to each other.

“Where’s your girlfriend, oppa? She was really pretty.”

“You shouldn’t say things like that. She might get angry. She’s also a scary person.”

“Why? Does she have a fiery personality?”

“She’s a famous ranker in our country.”

Ihwa opened her mouth, seemingly genuinely surprised.

“I thought she was just a movie actress who climbed the Tower as a hobby.”

“If she climbed it as a hobby, she wouldn’t have come to the naturalization seat.”

“That’s true too.”

Ihwa sat across from him and gulped down an iced americano.

‘She’s mature.’

It’s not that she doesn’t eat them at all, but she prefers sweet tastes over bitter ones.

So unless someone else is buying, she always orders vanilla latte or caramel macchiato.

“Haaa.”

Ihwa leaned back in her chair and let out a deep sigh.

Then she stared blankly at the cafe ceiling.

“It still feels like a dream. Just yesterday it was a snowy mountain with blizzards. Tomorrow you’re even buying me a phone.”

“Oh. That’s great. You were dying for SNS.”

“SNS is forbidden as a condition. China doesn’t know we’ve naturalized. But I’m still super happy. It feels like I’ve regained the civilization I lost for 2 years.”

Ihwa, who had been grinning, straightened up again.

“Did you bring what you mentioned earlier?”

“Ah, right.”

I had forgotten about asking if she could make armor on the way here.

What a scattered mind I have.

I almost left after just drinking coffee and chatting.

I placed the chunk of Elder Centipede scales I got from Momo on the table.

Ihwa approached and examined the scales closely.

“Wow… scales from the Elder Centipede that lived for a thousand years? This is incredibly good material. It’s light in weight but hard enough to deflect most blades. Actually, it’s such good material that I feel a bit pressured.”

“You can work with it though, right?”

“Of course. This kind of material is actually simple. Unlike iron, I don’t need to polish and hammer it – I just need to shape it and connect the pieces. If you’re okay with it, I really want to make this. It’s rare material so the level up should be substantial too.”

Production class that levels up through related work.

Ihwa was quite ambitious about growth, so she couldn’t help but be eager.

“It’s fine if it takes some time, so I’ll ask you to do it.”

I save on fees and Ihwa gets to level up.

This must be what they mean by a win-win situation.

Creak.

The cafe door opened and Jin Yun-ho, Yun Mi-ri, and the Zhuzhou people entered.

People naturally gathering here.

“You were here. Where did Hunter Cheon Se-yeon go?”

“She went to the equipment rental room saying she had something to return.”

“I see. Ah, the naturalization process for the Zhuzhou people is complete except for deciding the residential area.”

Zhuzhou decided to live together in one place while monitoring China’s movements.

“For now, we need to be careful of people’s attention, so we’re looking into quiet locations. Rural areas are candidates rather than metropolitan cities. If you have any places to recommend, Jinhyeok, we’d appreciate it.”

“A recommended place.”

I leaned back in my chair and rubbed my chin.

There’s actually one place that comes to mind.

“How about Yesan in South Chungcheong Province? It’s the town where my parents live.”

I remembered my parents’ complaints about how the town would soon disappear due to population decline.

My parents who had subtly urged Jinhyeok to return home, saying they’d be happy if anyone came to live there.

“Yesan, that’s good. The Hunter Bureau actually bought up all the land that was available in that area.”

“What? Land in Yesan?”

Jin Yun-ho made an “oops” expression.

Runner Yoo Jin-hyeok is one of the most important figures in the Player Hunter Bureau.

Since Jinhyeok’s family are also VIPs of the Hunter Bureau, they bought up all the nearby land to prevent any problematic facilities from being built.

Jinhyeok, who had been staring with wide eyes, leaned toward Jin Yun-ho.

“That kind landowner who lent land to my parents saying they could farm freely… could it be…?”

“Haha… Yes. It’s the Hunter Bureau. Please don’t misunderstand – it’s absolutely not for any impure purpose like surveillance.”

“Come on, misunderstand what.”

What nonsense.

I was actually planning to build a small greenhouse nearby as a way to show filial piety now that I had some money.

The Hunter Bureau had taken care of my filial duty for me.

Instead, I should send them on a hot spring trip to Japan, Jinhyeok thought as he nodded.

“I’m always grateful. My parents said they’d share their harvest with you, so let’s go together around that time.”

“Sounds good.”

After expressing gratitude once more, I returned to my seat.

Then I told the Zhuzhou people various things about the Yesan area.

A town famous for apples and pears.

There’s no better place for living quietly and peacefully.

‘Father, Mother. Your son contributed to extending the town’s lifespan.’

Vowing to spread word of this achievement someday.

I began introducing local restaurants that must be visited when going to Yesan.

I scanned my fingerprint and entered the house.

Despite eating various foods like chicken, pizza, and pig’s feet, there was no smell at all.

Indeed, good houses have excellent ventilation systems.

‘They cleaned up nicely.’

The house was spotless itself.

Even the food waste was properly put into the microbial decomposer.

“What are you doing pressing that?!”

“Momo does it better!”

“If you’re better, why did you die ten more times?!”

“You get stronger by dying!”

Kancheo and Momo were gaming, standing right in front of the TV instead of using the perfectly good sofa.

Ellia and Seira, who were sipping coffee at the table, waved at Jinhyeok.

“Where’s Dark?”

Ellia pointed to one of the rooms.

Going there, I saw Dark sleeping on the ondol bed.

The entire room was warm from how high the temperature was set.

Dark who uses ice as a weapon and a hot ondol.

What a strange combination.

Jinhyeok shrugged and threw himself onto the sofa.

Then he used the 40th Floor Section Compression Ticket from his inventory.

A floor selection window appeared before his eyes.

He boldly selected all floors from 41st to 50th and pressed compress.

Ding!

[10 floors have been compressed! During the compression process, the section will be twisted and a new floor called ‘Area Between 40th and 51st Floors’ that didn’t exist before will be created!]
