Episode 24
Two months later, Hyunji Lee met her friends again. At that cafe where we always gather.
In fact, since about a month ago, my friends have been saying that they want to see me, but I haven’t had time to do so.
Hyunji Lee, who had just joined the company, was exhausted by the time she got off work as she had to adapt to the new environment, and was busy sleeping late on the weekend.
“Hyunji, have you lost some weight? “Is the company having a hard time?”
As soon as we each received our drinks and sat down, Minji Kim spoke the first words.
“I? “Is it because I move around a lot more than when I was getting a job?”
Hyunji Lee stroked my cheek and tilted her head as if she wasn’t sure.
My activity level increased, but I didn’t know if it was enough to cause me to lose weight.
“Wandering around? Are you working outside? “I heard it’s similar to a librarian job?”
Kim Min-ji asked a nagging question, wondering if Lee Hyun-ji had been scammed for employment.
Selecting new employees and assigning them to tasks different from those originally promised was a common occurrence.
Minji Kim reacted very sensitively because she had just heard that an acquaintance of hers had suffered such a job scam two days ago.
“Oh, that’s it… First of all, I kept going here and there for about a month to get used to the company.”
“Then I guess it was because you had to adapt to the company. Oh, I see. “Now that I think about it, I must have been in the middle of orientation back then.”
Choi Ye-eun, a philosophy major sitting next to me, nodded as if she understood.
The other two friends looked at each other with puzzled expressions.
“That’s it?”
“I met Hyun-ji once a while ago.”
“Did you two see each other separately?”
Choi Ye-eun quickly waved her hand and added in response to Kim Min-ji’s disappointed reaction.
“No, I didn’t make a specific appointment, but Hyun-ji came to the place where I went to work part-time.”
“part time job?”
“Part-time job as a broadcast extra. I can work for short periods of time and the money isn’t bad, so I do it often. “It’s also fun to observe various groups of people there.”
Kim Min-ji, who was quietly listening to the story, blinked rapidly and asked a question as if she did not understand.
“If it’s a part-time extra job, isn’t it a filming location? “Why would a dungeon management employee come there?”
“It was a monster drama for children.”
In response to Choi Ye-eun’s answer, Lee Hyun-ji nodded and briefly explained what she had experienced while accompanying Rodran for the past two weeks.
Hyeonji Lee and Rodran visited the places where the dungeon dwellers were active every day.
The purpose of Rodran was to conduct an external inspection and inspect the on-site situation, and Hyunji Lee wanted to experience how dungeon dwellers who completed their training live outside.
You can hardly see dungeon workers on the streets, but surprisingly, there were quite a few dungeon workers stationed at industrial sites.
In addition to construction sites, monsters with fire resistance also worked at steel companies.
There were also monsters engaged in entertainment.
It was a great sight to see the beast kings hired by the zoo performing under the lights in a huge outdoor performance hall.
I was so absorbed in the moment that I even forgot that I was at work.
I even got an autograph on my way out.
It goes without saying that the majority of these beast kings are people who dreamed of becoming actors after watching dramas.
The beast kings caught up in the aftermath of the drama were not only found in zoos.
lately.
Bish, a giant snake monster who came after hearing somewhere that he could appear as a supporting actor in a drama that was ‘officially’ aired on ‘TV’, got into a fight with Son Mo-ah, stomped and begged him, and finally succeeded in getting an audition for a children’s drama.
The director was so moved by the appearance of a real monster that he actively recruited Bish, even revising the monster’s design and scenario.
After completing dungeon management training at an unusually fast pace, Vichy immediately took over as the main villain of this monster drama.
The children’s monster drama starring Vichy was currently actively filming pre-air episodes.
And Rodran and Hyeonji Lee visited that place.
When Lee Hyun-ji arrived at the filming site, Vichy had already released her fifth NG.
‘Mr. Bish, please act a little more overbearing. ‘It feels like it’s really going to eat people up.’
‘Ha, but the extras were so screaming and scared…’
‘It’s natural because it’s acting! Mr. Bish, you will become a monster that is scary to anyone. I think I’m the strongest and most evil villain in the world. The evil villain doesn’t care about the screams of the extras. Ah, yes, it would be better to look like you’re enjoying it.’
‘An expression of enjoyment… Ah, I understand. sorry. I’ll do it again.’
Wearing special makeup that included painting his scales dark red and attaching menacing horns to his face, Vichy bowed his giant snake head to the extras and actors.
Then, he worked hard to relax his facial muscles, opening and closing his mouth wide.
Following the director’s cue sign, Choi Ye-eun played the role of an extra who screamed and ran away.
This means that he started running while shouting at the top of his voice.
“Well, it was a great sight. “I never thought I’d see something like that.”
Lee Hyun-ji smiled happily and said to Choi Ye-eun, who had finished reminiscing.
“Mr. Bish acted well. “I hope the drama comes out interestingly.”
“I know. Oh, by the way, Hyunji, now that I think about it, the company orientation was for a month, right? “Then you must have already been assigned this task.”
“ah. huh. one month. “Did you say that on set at that time?”
“Yes, I told you. “How is this job?”
Hyunji Lee thought about the question for a moment, looking for the right word, scratched her cheek, and then answered.
“Honestly, it’s like playing house.”
“Playing house? “Is work boring?”
“No, no, that’s not it. What I’m working on these days is education on purchasing things. “We are practicing how to buy things in various types of stores. When I act as a merchant in a set decorated like a store, dungeon people come and pay me to buy things.”
“Oh….”
“It’s fun. Not long ago, we played doctor… no, we even provided training on how to use a hospital. I played the role of a doctor and asked, ‘Where are you hurting?’ When you ask questions like this, dungeon dwellers answer the way they were trained. We also provide public transportation training…” ”
It feels more similar to resident support training than I thought. “It feels like Internet education for seniors, right?”
“They also teach how to use the Internet. “I plan to do that later.”
After the two people’s interesting conversation ended, a short silence came to the table.
Taking advantage of that gap, Kim Min-ji suddenly stepped forward.
“But nothing has changed for me?”
“What’s changed?”
Hyeonji Lee, who was puzzled, began to look at her friend step by step.
The hair is the same and nothing seems to have changed…
“Has your posture improved?”
Choi Ye-eun, who is very observant, responded by hitting the player.
Then Minji Kim made a shrugged expression and started talking with sparkling eyes.
“I went to the hospital last week?”
“hospital? “Where are you hurting?”
“No, I have a turtle neck and bad back. That day, I was in so much pain that I decided to go to a nearby oriental medicine clinic to get acupuncture, but a new hospital opened. Oh, strictly speaking, it’s not a hospital?”
Hyunji Lee’s worried expression turned into confusion.
“What if it’s not a hospital?”
“listen. Anyway, at first I thought it was just an ordinary posture correction center or something? “The sign said, ‘Full body correction of turtle neck in 10 minutes.’”
“Wasn’t it a posture correction center?”
“It was something similar. Do you know what it says on the sign there? It’s a complete transformation. 10 minutes full body correction. ‘Experience blood vessel correction surgery run by a real martial artist.’”
“…Murimin?”
Unlike Choi Ye-eun, who asked hesitantly, Lee Hyun-ji had a sense of something.
During employee training, I saw quite a few Inwang-type dungeon people called Murimin. Although it was not his responsibility.
Shortly after Dungeon Management was launched, new dungeons began to appear again.
Since this place had become a safe zone, Moa Son’s prediction that the system would send refugees here was correct.
One of them was full of Nioh-style dungeon people.
They were all martial arts experts and introduced themselves as martial artists active in Gangho.
The Dungeon of the Murim People was the easiest dungeon to be merged among the additional dungeons that Moa Son merged after the launch of Dungeon Management.
Of course, it was not without opposition, but when Son Mo-ah proved through video that he had indeed killed the predator, they quickly agreed to the merger.
Most of the newly opened dungeons were merged under Sonmoa.
And merger negotiations for the three remaining dungeons were also actively underway.
“Wow, anyway, it was really amazing. At first, I thought it was some kind of quack or something, but when he put his hand on my back and pushed hot energy into me, my waist suddenly straightened and my whole body felt refreshed….” “Oh….” “He said that the distorted blood flow and toxins were
removed
. They say it corrected the hardened body and skeleton after expelling it, but that wasn’t a part-time job, and it was really effective. “Better than any treatment I’ve ever had!”
Choi Ye-eun also thought of something when hearing Kim Min-ji’s boast, then nodded and added.
“Now that I think about it, there’s something like a martial arts gym near my house. Is that that kind of thing? But why didn’t he open a martial arts gym and open a turtle correction center? “It’s unique.”
“I asked too, and he said he was so shocked at first when he came to this world and saw people walking around.”
“Shock? why?”
“There are too many people with bizarre body shapes and broken skeletons. He said he was famous for his acupuncture skills over there, but he said that the bodies of people here are so messed up that they need to be corrected. “If you correct the martial arts people, they go out and fight and get hurt, but people here say that if you correct them, at least they won’t fight.”
“Ah, I think I heard that too. A person at the company said that the martial people are adapting very quickly even though they have only recently arrived in this world. Is it because it’s Nioh style? “There are individual differences, but the Moorim Dungeon has only been around for a short time, and I heard there are quite a few people who have already completed adaptation training and are active in society. I think that’s who you saw.”
“But why has Soyeon been so quiet since earlier?”
Kim So-yeon of the Japanese Department wasn’t usually the type of person to talk a lot, but today she was strangely quiet.
It was as if he had lost his mind.
As the concerned gazes of her friends gathered around her, Kim So-yeon was startled, came to her senses, and opened her mouth in a daze.
“Look, I met someone before I came here…”
