< [Chapter 2] Dungeon Cleaner (1) >

@ dungeon cleaner.

“What? Four million won? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You know how wide a first-grade dungeon can be when it's fielded. This dungeon takes 12 hours to neutralize dimensional forces. You know how much" Dimensional Neutralizer "is worth these days? It costs ₩ 300,000 for 3 hours. If you keep it running for 12 hours, it's 1.2 million won. I thought you said you weren't gonna clear all that. You said you were gonna clear Normal. So you don't even know where there's more water? If you turn the neutralizer, the surviving horses will gather... Then we'll have to kill them like crazy and protect the neutralizer for 12 hours. You're really only going to give me four million won? ”

Suhyuk said, making an impression.

No matter how much I thought about it, the basic cleaning fee for a Grade 1 dungeon was four million, but given the circumstances of the dungeon I just heard, it was four million won, which is ridiculous.

“Bro, let's face it. How can I argue with the old standard price list when the overall price of the cleaning has gone down? Nowadays, the basic cleaning fee for a grade 1 dungeon is 3 million won. ”

“Recognition? Three hundred? That's about those cheap bastards over there. If you want to use neutralizing agents from China, you have to use them later to make sure it explodes. I can't beat you to death for four million won. ”

Honestly, Suhyuk was not forcing me.

As Soohyuk said, a Grade 1 field-type dungeon was not a very green dungeon for cleaning dungeons.

In particular, it was a dungeon that became a normal clear that only important monsters were exterminated, not all of them that completely exterminated everything within the dungeon. If so, there could be surviving horses, and we had to use Dungeon Weapons to deal with them.

In the dungeon, we had to use weapons made of material from the body of the beast because all kinds of real-world weapons had turned into rocks.

We called them Dungeon Weapons, but of course they were much more expensive than ordinary weapons. Even the cheapest auto rifle made from the bones of the most commonly used monster had to be worth around KRW 10 million to get it.

The bullet in that rifle was called a tan, and it cost him 50,000 won per shot.

That is, if we use 10 shots, 500,000 won will fly into the air.

Considering all these things, no matter how much I conceded, I could never work for four million won.

“Oh my… how much will you do then? ”

After asking for this job, Yeon-Gyu Kim asked as if Su-hyuk had to come out so strong.

In fact, he also knew that Soohyuk was not wrong. Just in case, I brought it up to try to discount it.

“Five hundred and fifty. You have to give me that. ”

“No. The order I received is exactly 500. No more than that. ”

“Oh, fuck. So you took 500 and you called 400? Oh, what a piece of shit. ”

“Hehe, you have to eat, too. ”

“There you go. Off you go. There are other brokers besides you. ”

“Oh, my God! But no one asks for work more often than I do. ”

This was also true.

Toughness was rubbish, but Yun-gyu Kim certainly asked a lot of questions.

“Let's protect what we truly stand for, even if we lay low. If you do this nonsense again, I'll cut the real deal. ”

“Okay, I'm sorry. ”

Yeon-gyu replied with a heavy heart, listening to Suhyuk. Soohyuk also knew that Yeon-gyu would do rubbish again eventually. Nevertheless, he could not really break the deal with Yeon-gyu because without Yeon-gyu, Su-hyuk would also be devastated in life.

In fact, the Dungeon Cleaner was not a welcoming job anywhere. Due to their occupational nature, they were always exposed to 'dimensional power' and could not know when they would die.

Whenever I could afford to live, I would get expensive "Mana Cure," but that never completely healed my dimensional exposure.

The only thing that was free from dimensional exposure was Night.

However, for this reason, the dungeon cleaners did not even get along with the general public. Despite the fact that the exposure to dimensional forces did not spread out again, people did not allow dungeon cleaners to come close.

For this reason, there were extremely limited people hanging out with dungeon cleaners.

“Then you'll do it for 500? ”

“Oh, fuck you. Okay, I'll do it in 500. ”

Suhyuk nodded reluctantly. In fact, I was quite anxious because I didn't have a job recently, even though I had the guts to do it.

He was a good dungeon cleaner, but recently his work has decreased due to the mess of dungeon cleaners wanting to clean at ridiculous prices.

Furthermore, these days, freelance dungeon cleaners, such as Soohyuk, are losing their place because the trends have been really good. They have officially hired dungeon cleaners to solve everything themselves.

“Good thinking. Then I'll give you the dungeon coordinates. I've unlocked the locks, so you can just go in. ”

“How many hours until the dungeon opens? ”

“It's been 22 hours since I heard that before, so I think I have 20 hours left. We should be ready and ready in about five hours. ”

When the first humans invaded the Dimensional Dungeon, they just killed all the monsters and horseshoes in the Dimensional Dungeon.

However, when the dimensional gate opened and the dimensional dungeon was opened, the dimensional force that was piled up inside was poured out and the people around him were exposed to the dimensional force.

Dimensional exposure was dozens of times more dangerous than radiation exposure. So far, we can see how dangerous it is just to see more humans die from dimensional exposure than the number of humans killed directly by monsters.

That's why it was developed as a 'Dimensional Energy Neutralizer’.

If you use a dimensional neutralizing agent to completely neutralize the dimensional force, even if the dimensional door opened, the dimensional force did not spill out.

Suhyuk, who received coordinates from Yeon-yu, immediately started packing up the equipment.

The coordinates of the Dimensional Dungeon itself were not very far away, but we could not figure out what was going to happen inside, so we were going to go there as soon as possible and start cleaning up.

Phew... This isn't easy anymore. Do I really have to put my résumé in the same place as the knights? ’

Soohyuk seriously considers getting rid of the freelancers. But he shakes his head.

"Phew, the dimensional exposure is so severe that I almost fell off the paperwork, but it's all useless. ’

The problem was the exposures of dimensional forces.

Soohyuk was the oldest dungeon cleaner.

The concept of dungeon cleaners began around 15 years ago, and Soohyuk has been doing this since about 10 years ago.

I started at the age of 15, and now I'm 25.

I don't know if it was good luck or bad luck, but Soohyuk was alive at least until now.

Dungeon cleaners usually looked at the limit for about five years.

After working hard for about five years, I either closed my life after receiving treatment with as much money as I could spare as I could except for the money I had aimed for, or I continued working as a janitor for more than five years and just died……

In that sense, Su-hyuk who had survived for 10 years was quite remarkable.

Especially since he had no money, he never received a Mana Cure. I'm not saying he didn't make the money, but he spent it on all the equipment he could afford.

Thanks to him, his skills have increased day by day, but his exposure has only gotten worse.

Maybe it was really amazing to have survived so far.

His reason for living like this was simple.

After 17 years of his family's sudden death to a monster, he really lived a hell of a life.

So he was not foolish in life.

All he ever wanted to do in this hellish life was hunt monsters.

But there was nothing a boy could do, not even Knight.

That's why Suhyuk became a dungeon cleaner in his heart if he could not hunt monsters.

After all, Soohyuk has cleaned the dungeon harder than anyone else in the last decade.

Now I'm beginning to feel limited, but at least he wanted to clean up the dungeon while he was alive.

‘Everyone that mattered to me died anyway. ’

Soohyuk once again chews on the bitter reality and closes the trunk with the equipment.

Soohyuk who lost the meaning of life.

For him, every day was a living hell.

* * * *

Soohyuk opens the trunk quietly, turning on the dungeon navigation and going to the coordinates Yeon-gyu told him about.

It was a playground that seemed like a long time ago for kids to run. Of course, the entire apartment complex was now abandoned, making it a scattered playground where no one would play.

The water source colony was a fairly large colony, but it was not possible to put all the previously called water sources inside the walls. So when I came to an area called Yeongdong a long time ago, these abandoned apartment complexes were badly erected.

Because Yongin Colonies were much smaller than Suwon Colonies, many apartment complexes and villages that existed between Yongin Colonies were all creating an eclectic atmosphere.

Occasionally, refugees who were displaced from the colony lived in places like this, but it was hard to live long in these abandoned lands where there was no electricity or water.

Rumor has it the government is going to expand the colony's territory to connect all the colonies in South Korea. However, no matter how safe the government said, people refused to come out within the Colony Wall.

It was not easy to expand Colony's territory without expanding the barrier itself to protect against dimensional exposure, unnatural monsters, and magic.

“First… check the dimensional door……. ”

I needed a ‘Dimensional Key’ to open a dimensional door that was not yet opened. Dimensional keys were consumable and required different keys for each grade of the dungeon, but of course they were extremely expensive.

But it was the time to open the locked dimensional door, and if the dimensional key had been used to open the dimensional door like now, I could have just gotten in using the 'Dimensional Force Scanner'.

Jiaying!

When I went to the coordinates you gave me and activated the scanner, I naturally saw a translucent red door in front of my eyes.

It was a grade 1 dungeon, just the size of a typical house door.

Of course, the size of this door grew as the grade grew.

I had not seen Suhyuk in person, but I heard that the dimensions of a grade 4 or 5 dungeon are really enormous.

“Let's go, then. ”

Glug.

Suhyuk, who checked the dimensional door, did not hesitate to pull a large trunk inside.
