Housekeeper in the dungeon

EPISODE 80

“I apologize for my rant, but I was not satisfied with just raw peanuts, and I know that in his hands, the quality was guaranteed for six hours.”

Hee-won quickly realized what the guild leader meant.

“So you were saying that you didn’t want raw peanuts, but rather peanuts roasted by Hee-Na herself, with a six-hour effect per kernel?”

Hee-Na’s eyes widened at her brother’s words.

“By my hand?

It was an unexpected condition of the deal, but it made sense. It was natural to want high-quality items, even if they cost a little more.

Finally, Guild Leader Kim Gyu-hee showed her hand.

“I was willing to offer 20 million won per 100 grams if this team leader can did the post-processing.”

Hee-won glanced at her sister at the offer. Hee-Na replied coldly.

“I’m fine. No, thank you.”

After all, all she had to did at the company was cooked Kang jin-hyeon a meal and hang the “cozy bed” skill on his sleeping bag. There was time to spare.

Despite Hee-Na’s generous permission, Hee-Won clucked her tongue, a little impatient.

“Shelling peanuts, frying…… my sister’s arms was too much. We’ll settle for 25 million won, and the peanut shells will be removed and handed over to the Blue Dragon Guild.”

He sneaked a glance at Hee-Na. “Did you think it was worth it, did you think it was okay?” he asked. Of course, it was.

“Roasting peanuts was not a bad way to make a living.

Hee-won was right, peeling the peanuts was a little hard on the hands, but roasting them was fun.

“I wonder if it was okay to skip the intermediate steps with this team leader’s hands.”

Hee-Na scratched her cheeks at Guild Leader Kim Gyu Hee’s question.

“it was a little embarrassing to call it cooking, but…… it was like the peanuts are synergized with my cooking skill, so even if I was in charge of the last step, the 6-hour effect will be the same.”

Guild Leader Kim Gyu hee smiled broadly as I explained further.

“Okay. We’ll do that.”

Aside from the initial squeaky wheeling and dealing, the peanut negotiation went off without a hitch.

Hee Na and Hee Won agreed to be the exclusive suppliers of roasted peanuts to the Blue Dragon Guild.

In return, the Blue Dragon Guild would pay a price of 25 million won per 100 grams and promise to keep all of this a secret.

If the information were to leak out and endanger the siblings’ safety, they would take care of all the post-processing and aftercare. This was also Hee-won’s offer.

Other minor conditions still needed to be finalized, but the agreement was satisfactory to both parties.

After summarizing the situation, Guild Leader Kim Gyu hee sat cross-legged and spoke up.

“Alright. Let’s move on to the next topic. Ms. Lee Hee-won seems to have something more to say.”

Hee-Na and Hee-Won exchanged glances.

It was time for the really important part of the conversation. To keep the secret, Hee-na had been thinking about nothing but peanuts as much as possible.

Hee-won spoke slowly.

“There were some other crops I was growing. Other than peanuts.”

“Hmm.”

Guild Leader Kim Kyu-hee leaned forward curiously.

“I wonder if the other crops you grow have special benefits like peanuts?”

“There were.”

“For example?”

“Like, for example, a temporary increase in stats when consumed.”

“……what?”

The guild leader’s expression changed at that answer. He looked Hee-won straight in the eye and asked again.

“So…… were you saying that Mr. Lee’s crops can act as a kind of stat-boosting potion?”

“that was right.”

Although Hee Won’s rank was only D, it was clear that Kang Man was not ordinary. Hee-won didn’t back down in the face of Guild Leader Kim Gyu-hee’s strength.

Hee-Na swallowed hard at the tense atmosphere.

“If you want proof, I can show you.”

He pulled out a young spinach leaf from his inventory and placed it on the tabletop.

The grass, the size of a fingernail, looked tiny. But Guild Leader Kim Gyu-hee carefully picked it up and examined it.

Her gaze quickly scanned the air. She was probably reading the description of the spinach.

People lie, but systems never lie.

This was the first proposition that all Awakened believed in.

The Hunters trusted the system completely. No matter how or why it appeared to help them, the System had never once deceived them.

“They didn’t tell you the whole story, they didn’t tell you the whole truth, and they didn’t tell you dumpster diving, and they didn’t tell you housing fraud…….

Of course, Hee-Na had some personal grudges against the system. But for most Hunters, the system was omnipotent and perfect anyway.

As an explanatory window into the system, this one contact would be far more convincing to the guild leader than Hee-Na and Hee-Won explaining it a hundred times a thousand times.

“This was…….”

Guild Leader Kim Gyu-hee looked down at the young spinach leaves with slightly widened eyes. It was a far cry from her usual laid-back demeanor.

“it was still young, so the effect is minimal. But if you grow them to perfection, they’ll do more than this. I can supply them to you for less than the potion. And like the peanut, it’ll have a better effect if it was touched by Hee-Na.”

“Hmm…….”

Hee-won didn’t stop there; he continued to talk about his abilities and possibilities.

“Besides this spinach, there were many other crops that haven’t sprouted yet. Of course, we didn’t know what effects each of them will have yet. But I can assure you that they were worthy of the Qinglong Guild’s investment.”

“So, Mr. Yi, you’re saying that you were willing to trade with our guild for items other than peanuts?”

“Yes.”

Hee Won replied calmly, and Hee Na squirmed as she sat beside him. It was due to nervousness.

“If we didn’t sign an exclusive contract with the Blue Dragon Guild, things might get complicated.

It was more important for the siblings to find a business partner who would keep their secret, even if it meant losing a little money.

Besides, Hee-Na hadn’t yet thought about the alternative after being rejected.

“Should I go to another guild and made a deal with a middleman?

Of course, Hee-won had already patted her chest, saying that she didn’t need to worry about this.

Of course, Hee-won had already patted herself on the back, saying that she had nothing to worry about with this one. But she couldn’t help but feel nervous.

“Hmm. I see. You’ll sign an exclusive contract with our guild in exchange for secrecy and safety…….”

Guild Leader Kim Gyu-hee said.

Hee-na stared at her lips, her heart pounding.

“……Good, we can’t let another guild took such a good item away from us.”

With that, Guild Leader Kim Gyu-hee extended her hand.

She took Hee-na’s and Hee-won’s hands in turn, shook them, and said.

“Our guild will purchase all of the items that Ms. Lee Hee-won produces, and I promise you strict security in this regard. The price per item will be determined after the crops are all grown and we’ve seen the full effects, right?”

“Very good. I’ll see you next time.”

Hee-won smiled coolly and nodded.

“Good.

Hee Na also breathed a sigh of relief at the Guild Leader’s proposal.

“Guild Leader, please take good care of us in the future.”

“We’ll take care of you. Thank you for introducing us to a good trade partner, Lee. What a great brother you have, so bold and capable.”

The praise came from the guild leader of the Blue Dragon Guild. He felt proud to the point of pride. There was no other day that made her feel as good about her brother as today.

Hee-Na and Hee-Won paid off the remaining contract with the magic stones and returned home with a proud heart.

“Hey, the money came in.”

Hee-won showed me her cell phone screen. The amount in her bank account had grown enormously.

“How many digits is this……? One, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million, one million, one hundred million, one hundred million…… heck, nine zeros?”

Hee-Na almost fell backward in surprise. Ten digits were astronomical to a small-town girl.

“You made this much from selling peanuts?”

She couldn’t believe that she made this much money from a single bag of peanuts.

“I am now cash-rich.”

Hee-won rolled around the house happily looking at her phone screen, and Baduk, who was watching, curled up in a big ball and rolled with her.

“A total mess,” was how Oh Hae-yi characterized the behavior of the man and the plant.

“A total mess.”

Hee-na wanted to agree with him, but she was surprised. Hee-na stopped her rolling brother with her foot.

“Wow……. Weren’t we allowed to play and ate without farming anymore?”

Hee-won replied as if she was asking something new.

“No, I’ll keep farming. I didn’t start farming to make money in the first place……. it was a lot of fun to farm, and money is money, but once I harvested, I couldn’t stop. it was a great feeling to harvest what you’ve grown. it was fun to raise them, and it was fun to make money.”

He sat up in his booth and scratched his head thoughtfully.

“And the truth is, it was so much money that it doesn’t feel like my money, or should I say it doesn’t feel like mine because I’m still going to be rolling around on the floor in a stretched-out t-shirt with you in a plain two-room unless something happens…….”

“You talk like you were polishing a road.”
