Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 144


    “Really? “Is there any additional information?”


    – You gave me a week! Of course there are more. Even theb information was stolen. The rted files were encrypted and sent, and to summarize briefly…


    Won Deok-sam lowered his voice and bowed.


    – I investigated all the nearby dungeons, but the main point is that the gate activation signal does not appear only in the D-ss non-insect dungeon.


    Heena hummed and shook her head.


    “Does the fact that the activation signal does not appear mean that the dungeon has beenpletely stabilized?”


    – you’re right! Theb seems to have concluded that there is a high probability that the dungeon has beenpletely disabled.


    “That means…”


    – It looks like neither boss monsters nor ordinary monsters will appear anymore.


    Heena frowned.


    I never would have thought that the hypothesis I had was true.


    Won Deok-sam was talking excitedly without knowing Hee-na’s identity.


    – News of the world’s first dungeon deactivation! You could sell it for a huge price, right?


    At the same time, he chuckled and said that if he ever needs to sell this information in the future, he will pay some of the cost to Heena.


    – This is why the government went to great lengths to block information. I really wouldn’t have even thought about digging into this if it wasn’t for Miss Heena!


    In any case, it was clear that it was something out of the ordinary since it was news that would make the author, who was said to be Asia’s top intelligence official, so excited.


    “So this is the end of the story? “Then hang up the phone.”


    – Sure, sure! If you bring me a bigger fish… No, no! We will contact you again if we have any good news!


    “yes yes.”


    Heena ended the phone call with Won Deok-sam with a sigh.


    As soon as we hung up the phone, Hee-won and Kang Jin-hyeon opened their mouths without anyone saying anything first.


    “Were our expectations correct?”


    “I think we’ll probablye to a simr conclusion in the Taereung Rabbit Dungeon soon.”


    Heena also nodded.


    “I guess… I can’t help but think that way.”


    Of course, it may be premature to jump to conclusions based on just two cases.


    But the results were so tremendous and certain. I couldn’t turn away if I had to.


    “I just lived and farmed in the dungeon, but this is how I get the opportunity to contribute to world peace?”


    Heewon muttered as if it was absurd, and Heena also pressed her aching head.


    “But to deal with the system error, you have to go to the Mirror Dungeon and catch the boss monster! “Aren’t you expecting too much from housekeepers and farmers?”


    Even if there was Jinhyeon Kang, an S-ss hunter, in the party, the dungeon could not be conquered with only an individual’s outstanding abilities.


    Due to the structure of the dungeon and the nature of the monsters, there were dungeons that even Jinhyeon Kang of the World had difficulty breaking through alone.


    Completing the dungeon was like a kind of war. A war that requires proper strategy and troop supply!


    “No, suddenly I feel a lot of pressure. Even though I know this, I can’t do anything, and that doesn’t mean I will do anything for the world! It’s a reckless thing to do! …Would it be better to tell the government and ask for help?”


    Jinhyeon Kang shook his head at Heewon’s opinion.


    “We need to think more carefully about seeking government cooperation.”


    It was an unexpected answer. Wasn’t it Kang Jin-hyeon who was more cooperative than anyone else in government affairs?


    “When government is involved, there are too many interest groups that be entangled. That makes things tooplicated.”


    “When you say intertwined interest groups, are you talking about government departments or other guilds?”


    Jinhyeon Kang’s exnation followed the question.


    “…there are manypanies involved in the dungeon and monster industry.”


    Dungeons are managed by each guild.


    And the guild is run with profits generated from by-products from management dungeons.


    In addition, the secondary and tertiary industries for dungeon by-products are veryplicated.


    “…In that sense, the impact of deactivating one dungeon is significant. This is also true in the case of the Taereung Rabbit Dungeon.”


    He tapped his fingers on the table.


    “One of the monster by-products of the Rabbit Dungeon is used as an artifact material, but as the supply has been cut off, the price of substitute materials has skyrocketed.”


    “hmm. This means that for some people, deactivating dungeons is not a good thing.”


    “I figured it out correctly, Heena.”


    “There may be a bacsh….”


    “Oh! “You say you’re doing a good job, but why is the situation soplicated!”


    It was a time when Heewon was tearing out her head in pain.


    A shing status window appeared in front of the three people.


    Something unexpected popped out.


    “Freedom… will?”


    The system that had been running on all fours suddenly walked upright and made normal sounds.


    So, what I meant was that we will no longer force dungeon stabilization through quests, so act ording to your conscience and subjectivity.


    Although it was a very natural content, it aroused Heewon’s fiery anger.


    “You son of a bitch leaves all the important choices to us! Do you ask them to do the most difficult thing? “If we don’t do this, won’t we just be bad guys?”


    Heena barely managed to calm down her brother who was pointing his finger in the air.


    “This is why the system has been bothering us so far.”


    I had expected it to some extent, but my guess turned out to be correct, so I was embarrassed… but at the same time, I felt like my head was clearing.


    I felt like I knew what to do now.


    Heena took out a piece of space and held it.


    “Hey, I don’t know! “I think about fixing the house first!”


    A message saying that the water system had been fixed appeared, and a piece of magic stone fell from the air.


    “If there are any magic stones left over, of course I have to return them. What do you mean by a conscientious and proper service culture?”


    Hee-won, whose dissatisfaction with the system has reached its peak these days, was very upset about the phrase.


    But regardless of whether Heewon was holding a grudge or not, Osaek was happy and slowly waved the antenna.


    「Lululu??」


    「??eok~」


    This is because we finally fixed the house using pieces of space.


    Heena looked down at the space seed that was created after using the space fragment.


    Coordinates consisting of two numbers were floating along with the exnation.


    “First, let’s find out what kind of dungeon this is.”


    “Do you n to proceed with dungeon stabilization?”


    Heena hesitantly answered Jinhyeon Kang’s question.


    “I’m not saying I’ll definitely do it, but… I just want to find out.”


    Although I was frustrated with my confusion, I also felt uneasy aboutpletely ignoring the seed of space.


    When I entered the coordinates into the search bar, a very unfamiliar ce name popped up.


    “It’s a foreign country?”


    “Where is it? “It’s my first time seeing this ce.”


    When I moved the map to check the location, I saw that it was a dot-like ind in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, with a group of small inds around it.


    “If it’s a ce like this, the government can’t reach it at all, right?”


    Kang Jin-hyeon also agreed with Hee-na’s thoughts.


    “yes. There’s no way hunters would be dispatched to a ce like this, so the surrounding area would be a mess due to the dungeon break. “No one would be able to survive.”


    Heena’s eyes sparkled.


    “Then, people won’t draw attention just because this ce has been stabilized! “There will be no management organization and no one living there!”


    “…Isn’t that probably a high probability?”


    After talking to this point, I gained enough courage to put all my worries to shame.


    Heena suggested cautiously.


    “Let’s look into this ce and if it’s a ce we can afford… let’s give it a try.”


    * * *


    Less than a day after sending the dungeon coordinates, I received a call from Won Deok-sam.


    The content of the report was simple.


    This is a D-ss dungeon in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, where monsters that resemble bats appear.


    It is not difficult to conquer as it is a dungeon that is at the lower level of difficulty in ss D, but because it is a very remote ind, it seems to be an area where the government or guilds cannot reach.


    It was this part of the short report that caught Heena’s attention.


    ‘There are people living on another ind not far from the dungeon?’


    Surprisingly, people lived on this small archipgo.


    Of course, no one lived on the ind where the dungeon gate was located.


    However, there were people who continued to live in smallmunities on small inds located nearby.


    ‘Every time a dungeon break urs, there is great or small casualty…’


    If it were and-type monster, it would have been safer because it couldn’t jump from ind to ind.


    However, the monster in that dungeon is in the form of a bat that can fly, so it flies to other inds and harms people.


    “This is also a ce where people live, but no one is helping.”


    Heewon also bit her lip at the same point, as if she felt sad.


    Compared to the number of dungeon gates around the world, the number of awakened people was not thatrge.


    In other words, covering the country with limited manpower meant that there were bound to be neglected areas.


    And this was the ‘alienated’ ind.


    ‘This is…’


    Heena, Heewon, and Kang Jinhyeon’s eyes met.


    We could tell each other’s intentions just by looking into each other’s eyes.


    The first to open his mouth was Kang Jin-hyeon.


    “The difficulty level seems to be simr to that of the D-ss non-infestation dungeon.”


    Heena and Heewon also got excited and talked a lot.


    “Then wouldn’t it be okay to sweep this away with my cleaning skills?”


    “For that, I’ll have to pack a lot of rice balls.”


    “My brother is missing. There are no usefulbat skills. I will at least find a way for Jinhyeon!”


    “Ugh…. You’re doing a good job, but you’re leaving me out?”


    The three noisily discussed ns to attack the dungeon.


    Just because it was a low-level dungeon didn’t mean I let down my guard. It wasn’t that I didn’t have any fear of the dungeon, which I should have.


    However, they were able to be so excited because the goodwill in their hearts shined even brighter than that.
