Chapter 164
Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 164
“Tsk. Cowardly. Anyway… While I’m at it, I’ll give you a rough explanation. “This is a one-on-one combat type dungeon, so even a few elites can defeat it.”
“One-on-one combat dungeon?”
“One comes out, then another comes out, and so on. “It’s much easier than attacking a horde.”
“Ah… that’s right.”
Heena nodded, remembering the zombie monsters that were coming in like a rising tide.
Didn’t even Kang Jin-hyeon of the world express his disapproval at that huge number?
“So, conquering the dungeon won’t be as difficult as you worry. “Hwawonho Hunter and I are also Class A… Kang Hunter has also become smaller, but his abilities are much better than those of ordinary hunters.”
Woo Min-ah shrugged her shoulders and continued.
“The problem is that it is a maze-type dungeon, so it may take a while to find your way?”
“In the maze-type dungeon, you just have to break through the walls and advance.”
Jinhyeon Kang presented a radical methodology.
“That’s a good idea too.”
Woo Min-ah also welcomed that ignorant plan with both hands.
It was a tense conversation. Thanks to this, Heena’s anxiety quickly subsided.
“but. “It must have been difficult because there were a lot of non-awakened people in the non-combat world last time, right?”
This strategy team, made up of specialists from the Blue Dragon Guild, was different from the ragtag group of those days.
‘I was worried for no reason.’
“Please pray that I can lift the curse on Kang Jin-hyeon as a reward for clearing the dungeon.”
What you had to worry about more than that was if the curse couldn’t be lifted with the dungeon clearing reward.
‘Both the guild leader and Uncle Deoksam said this was the only way…’
If the curse continues like this, the situation will become even more difficult.
The advanced dungeon that Kang Jin-hyeon had to deal with was also a problem, as was confidential government-related work.
Above all, the repercussions of a change in the status of an S-class hunter were enormous.
It was clear that the delicately balanced guild rankings, hunter rankings, and even the conflicts between countries would fluctuate.
‘Then even the ordinary lives of ordinary people will be shaken.’
The impact of one Kang Jin-hyeon on society was this great.
‘I’ll have to find a way to break the curse somehow.’
Heena muttered softly, hoping and hoping that she would be lucky this time too.

The next day, Kang Jin-hyeon, Woo Min-ah, and Hwa Won-ho left for the dungeon after eating the hot breakfast prepared by Hee-na.
It was a mission carried out in extreme secrecy.
“Heena, why don’t you stop worrying and come see the academy with me?”
Appraiser Choi Sang-hoon grabbed Heena’s shoulder with his large hand.
As much as I worried, nothing would change, so I decided to just enjoy what I can enjoy now as much as possible.
The World Appraisal Conference was held at the Falcon Convention Center.
As it was an event where appraisers from all over the world gathered, led by S-class Choi Sang-hoon, the convention center was crowded with people despite its large size.
“Oh…”
Heena lost her mind for a moment while looking at the people dressed in various outfits.
“There’s a lot, right? This is not an event that only appraisers come to. “It is because many government officials and business hunters also participate.”
Choi Sang-hoon was explaining the details of the event.
“uh? “I’m an S-class appraiser!”
“where? where? “I want to see it too!”
People’s attention was focused at once, and dozens of languages could be heard and interpreted at once.
Heena was tired of the passionate looks from dozens, if not hundreds, of people.
The crowd murmured for a moment and then rushed towards Choi Sang-hoon at the same time, without any thought of who was first.
“Mr. Choi!”
“Talk to me!”
“Move! “I would appreciate it if you could appraise this first… Ugh!”
Heena’s face turned pale as she saw the people approaching like a herd of angry bison.
‘If things continue like this, I might get run over by people!’
I even wondered if I should use my cleaning skills on people.
It was when I was about to take out an SSS grade newspaper.
“Keep your distance.”
“It’s dangerous. “You can’t get close.”
People dressed in black appeared and guarded Heena and Choi Sang-Hoon.
Even in front of a crowd full of awakened people, all of whom were high-level hunters, he did not flinch like a stone.
Sang-Hoon Choi didn’t even raise an eyebrow, as if he had already anticipated this situation.
“This is how popular I am, Heena.”
I even enjoyed the heat of this crazy scene.
“I’ll take you to the waiting room.”
Bodyguards dressed in black led Heena and Choi Sang-hoon to the VIP waiting room.
“phew.”
As soon as the door closed, Heena sighed.
Choi Sang-hoon burst into laughter at that sight.
“It’s the World Society for Appraisal, isn’t it? “This is a position where an S-class appraiser can become a superstar.”
In the Blue Dragon Guild, Choi Sang-hoon was perceived as an easy-going guy who wandered around the building looking disheveled.
However, an S-class appraiser was a rare talent with only three in the world.
This means that he is a great person that anyone who attended this conference would want to talk to at least once.
“Wow…”
Heena looked at Choi Sang-hoon with new eyes.
“Honestly, I didn’t know much about him based on his words alone, but seeing his popularity now, I can clearly see how important he is.”
The loose-fitting suit used to look very untrustworthy, but now even that looks like the composure of a man of great skill.
“Anyway, what are the people in black clothes? “Is this something like a dedicated bodyguard?”
Choi Sang-hoon explained in response to Heena’s question.
“okay. Actually, we need an attendant to act as security, but as you know… everyone is busy with other things, right?”
He hinted at the Falcon Guild’s top secret dungeon.
“Still, it looks like Team Leader Woo Min-ah spoke properly and the Falcon Guild sent a security team.”
“Oh…”
Heena expressed a small exclamation.
I don’t know what conditions were exchanged, but it was clear that it was a great ability to solve all the security issues in the dungeon without revealing Kang Jin-hyeon’s condition.
‘I just thought she was a generous sister who likes to eat meat.’
At the same time, I once again felt how powerful the people around me were.
S-Class Hunter Kang Jin-Hyeon, S-Class Appraiser Choi Sang-Hoon, Woo Min-ah, who has the talent to roast America’s best guild…
Meanwhile, Sang-Hoon Choi glanced at his watch.
“It looks like the opening speech will start soon, and I think I should go out and see it too. The opening speech won’t be any fun, so why not wait here? “After the event is over, I will introduce the exhibition hall.”
“If I go out with Mr. Sang-hoon, I think there will be an uproar like before.”
When Hee-na shrugged and pointed out the door, Choi Sang-hoon smiled shyly.
“Once the other S-class appraisers arrive and the seminar and exhibition begin, everyone will calm down a bit. “Everyone must be busy presenting their own research.”
“If you say so… But I still want to hear the opening speech. Aren’t you giving speeches too? You need to listen to this. “Aren’t you just trying to act cool when I’m not around?”
Choi Sang-hoon’s cheekbone turned red as he laughed mischievously.
“No… that’s not it.”
It seems that it was true that he was trying to be solemn.
“I’ll take a lot of photos and videos.”
“Oh my. “It’s a good thing if you don’t bite your tongue while talking.”
As Choi Sang-hoon joked, Heena giggled along with him.
The opening ceremony took place in a somewhat free atmosphere.
The other two S-class appraisers who arrived late were very unique.
One was a woman who appeared to be around the same age as Choi Sang-hoon, and the other was a man who appeared to be around Hee-won’s age.
They each wore leather aprons and slouchy hip-hop t-shirts, so they didn’t look like they were attending an important event.
Choi Sang-hoon, who wore a loose suit without even a tie, looked the most solemn and serious.
‘But Mr. Sang-hoon was the type to save face…’
I was worried in my head that I should dress neatly before leaving, but it was in vain.
As Choi Sang-hoon said, the opening ceremony was quite long.
In particular, the president’s speech was extremely long, boring, and difficult.
Even though I was using an interpretation item, I could not understand more than half of what the president said.
‘Is the interpreter broken?’
I was fiddling with the interpreter attached behind my ear.
Someone flopped down on the seat next to Heena.
“I see you here again, Hee-su.”
“Oh, what a surprise!”
Heena flinched in surprise at the voice that came from an unexpected place.
Then the man sitting next to him crossed his long legs and gave Heena advice.
“Because you are not properly alert to your surroundings, you get startled so often and often fall.”
“Who…pa Fabian?”
Fabian slightly raised his sunglasses and made a bow.
“I remember the name. “I would have been disappointed if I had forgotten.”
“My memory isn’t so bad that I forget the name of someone I met a few days ago.”
Heena looked suspiciously at the man sitting next to her.
“Anyway, why do you wear sunglasses indoors?”
Even the ceremony hall was quite dark, with only the stage lights on.
In this state, if I were to wear dark sunglasses like the ones Fabian was wearing, I would not be able to see at all.
In response to the question, Fabian gently tugged at the corner of his mouth.
“ah. This is for personal reasons. No comment beyond that. Of course, if Hee-soo learns more about me, she will naturally understand… but she doesn’t seem very motivated to find out more about me.”
It was natural. Fabian was nothing more or less than someone I bumped into on the street.
‘A suspicious person who even acts like he saw Jinhyeon.’
Even now, this encounter did not feel welcome at all.
“Anyway, I guess you didn’t bring that pet out today?”
“yes?”
“That cute furry hamster.”
…If you are someone who even asks questions like this, instead of making you feel welcome, you will only feel like you want to distance yourself further.
