Welcome to Dungeon Hotel
Chapter 159
Now not only Yoojun but many hunters will know.
The fact that the paladin and the dungeon hotel operator are the same person. It all started with Uncle Junsoo’s suggestion. ‘Now that the identity of the Dungeon Hotel has spread quietly, how about openly operating it? If you want, we can even proceed with the business in collaboration with government agencies. It’s a hotel…maybe with the Korea Tourism Organization?’ Of course, when Uncle Junsoo first brought up this idea, it was simply because he was tired of the constant inquiries flooding in from the Hunter Association. But my thoughts were a little different. ‘If only we were to start a completely open business.’ It’s right to do aggressive marketing to benefit everyone. Of course, everything had an order. Before <Dungeon Hotel Notification Division> was formed. Dad…No, the first thing I did after successfully recruiting S-Class hunter Lee Semyung was to visit the chief of Byeolcheon-ri. “Chief.” “Hmm, Yeongchunjang.” Sitting in the real estate office, I offered a cup of coffee to the chief of Byeolcheon-ri and asked. “If we could promote Yeongchun-myeon more actively, how would you feel about that?” At my question, the chief’s eyes sparkled. “Whyy? It seems like our Yeongchunjang knows a lot~ about hunters. Do you have someone else to introduce?!” “Hmm… Yes, there is.” “Who?!” I took a sip of coffee and spoke in front of the chief’s burdened eyes. “Me.” “…?!” “I am a hunter, chief.” I began to calmly explain the situation to the confused chief. As my story started to exceed the scale expected by the chief, his mouth gradually opened in astonishment. “T, then, does that mean Yeongchun-myeon is becoming the holy land for hunters worldwide?!” “Holy land… I’m not sure about that, but it’s possible that many hunters will come to visit. Of course, the number of regular tourists will also increase naturally.” As Dungeon Hotel becomes more known, Yeongchun Hotel is bound to prosper as well. Since I am Dad’s daughter and Dad has returned, my identity will be revealed more. In that case, it would be better to give the Hunter Association a name to protect this area. In order to do that, I need to take this opportunity to make it widely known that I am working under a contract with the Korea Hunter Association. “Then, Yeongchunjang will probably get a lot busier now…? Sigh… Fishermen guests and our villagers won’t even dream of hotel coffee anymore.” The chief had a disappointed expression, knowing that he wouldn’t be able to have coffee at the Yeongchun Hotel. Even during this time, I am proud that people have developed such affection for the Yeongchun Hotel coffee shop that they even worry about coffee.— ‘I have to prepare for such problems as well.’ Whether it’s enjoying a cup of coffee at a coffee shop or generating revenue from tourists, as Yeongchun-myeon becomes truly famous, it’s important to ensure that existing residents don’t miss out on the benefits. And there was a bigger problem. This small area was likely to be hit by gentrification as soon as the hotel became famous. Gentrification. When an area that was underdeveloped for a while suddenly becomes a so-called ‘hot spot,’ existing merchants are pushed out due to rising building rents, and franchises encroach on the neighborhood. Gentrification was also one of the reasons why I didn’t operate fully open. “You shouldn’t miss out on it. That’s why I’m planning to buy real estate around here.” “Real estate? Aah, expanding the hotel?! Are you planning to open a second branch in Yeongchun-myeon too?” The chief smiled brightly and quickly took out the map. “That’s great. So, did you find a good deal near Yeongchunjang? That’s why…” I pointed to a point on the map while listening to the chief’s voice talking. Then the chief opened his eyes wide. “Oh? Here? As expected, Yeongchunjang has an eye for real estate…” I then pointed somewhere else. It was another commercial site in a straight line from the place I just pointed to. “Ah, it’s good here too. Then here too…” “No. From here to here.” The chief paused for a moment, looking at me intently, as if not quite understanding what I was saying. My plan is not to buy one or two buildings. “Please show me all the buildings on this street. I will buy everything.” I decided not to buy a house in Seoul. I decided to save up not only that money but also the reservation fees agreed upon for the Hunter Association in advance, planning to invest them in Yeongchun-myeon. Before I could finish speaking, the chief suddenly grabbed the back of his neck and cleared his throat nervously. “S, s, s, s, so… It’s not just buying a piece of real estate…?” “Yes. It’s something like that, but…Are you okay?” I’m worried about his blood pressure. “Are you buying the entire street?!” “Ah, yes.” “So Yeongchunjang really has deep pockets!” It would have been impossible in Seoul, but it was possible here in Yeongchun-myeon thanks to the relatively affordable real estate prices. “And considering the financial constraints of some Yeongchun-myeon residents, I’m thinking of providing loan support for them to purchase the places they’ve been renting out, whether it’s commercial spaces or residences.” “…?!” Of course, this is also possible. “I won’t be doing this alone; the Hunter Association will provide support. Could you spread the news of the loan support through the merchants’ association and neighborhood meetings without mentioning the positive developments in the area? Would that be possible?” If this information leaks out, speculators smelling the scent of a real estate boon might flock in, and I don’t know what they might do. Actually, I shouldn’t even talk to the chief— “I came to visit the chief first rather than the mayor because I believed that the chief would care for Yeongchun-myeon more than anyone else and would work hard for the public interest of the residents.” The moment I finished speaking, the chief’s eyes sparkled. The chief sipped his coffee as if his throat was burning. The name of that coffee is— ‘Ah, loyalty~ Iced Americano’ (C) – Burning with a sense of justice, he strives for the public interest rather than personal gain. (Duration: 48:00:00) – Loyalty to people around you increases by 150%. – Vitality increases by 400%. The good justice’s satto. This is coffee brewed with care. A C-Class potion. “Of course! I know very well how Yeongchunjang feels, and I will work hard for our Yeongchun-myeon in both material and spiritual ways! If not me, then who else will work for the welfare of our residents!” The power of the C-Class potion was incredible. Because the chief kept the secret very well. The next thing I did was check the capabilities of the door desk. The door desk appeared in front of the revolving door as I expected Unlike other desks that were created automatically in the past, I could manually specify the location of the door desk within a 2m radius of the revolving door, which is a safe area. I moved the desk to a suitable place. Facility: ‘Door Desk’ has been created. “So, when guests arrive, the door desk is the first to greet them?” Dad made a curious face as he looked at the door desk. “Probably? Does it not show up like a notification window for Dad?” But I have an exclamation point above the door desk? “Is this it? The exclamation mark?” Dad seemed to see the same thing. “Oh, it says here that I’ve been assigned as the door desk attendant, so I can teleport to a random dungeon where there are guests. It seems like I’ll also receive notifications when guests arrive.” As expected. He sees the same thing as me. “Wow… looking at this, it suddenly brings back old memories.” Dad touched the desk with his hand and smiled softly. “What memories?” “When I was first pulled into the dimensional rift, I heard a voice in the darkness for a long time. That person said they were a hotel owner. Later, they invited me to their hotel. Their speech sounded like it was translated, so I thought they were foreigners and invited them to come visit Korea. I told them that our country has very beautiful beaches.” That is neither a foreigner nor a ‘person’. I recalled the memory of Merlin Grey I saw in <The Book of Memories>. When I opened Chapter 1, a video with the title ‘Meeting with Lee Semyung’ but without ‘Lee Semyung’ appeared in front of me. Only a faint voice could be heard in the darkness. ‘Walking on that beach makes me feel peaceful. I really want you to feel that too.’ Meeting with Lee Semyung. So Dad has met Merlin Grey. Why did the system show the ‘meeting with Lee Semyung’ memory first among Merlin Grey’s memories? No matter how I thought about it, it was suspicious. When I meet Alex Grey, I’ll have to ask her something more. If there is a quest that rewards fame, I must complete it and delve further into the <Book of Memories>. Anyway, After everything is ready. <Dungeon Hotel Notification Division> was created. As it was at a time when the hunter union was talking about ‘improving the treatment of hunters,’ the direction of publicity was also decided. The Hunter Association is working hard to improve the welfare of hunters by contracting with the Dungeon Hotel’s owner. So, if you see the hotel when you’re in danger in the dungeon, don’t hesitate to go in. Like this. And to promote the Dungeon Hotel, the association and our hotel staff decided to accompany the scheduled Baekho Guild raid for the purpose of shooting a Dungeon Hotel promotional video— “Ah, Noona! Why don’t you tell me when you’re filming a promotional video?” …Why is the ten million idol appearing there? I was somewhat taken aback when I saw Min Kangjin, who recently went from being a ten million Idol to a ‘ten million Actor.’ I heard that the movie <It’s F-Class But It’s Okay>, which was filmed at that time, has reached ten million views and that he was overwhelmed due to the flood of scripts coming in? “I got permission from the DunTube team and came along with them!” Behind the excited Min Kangjin, several staff members were seen getting out of the car. Min Kangjin wrinkled his nose and looked at me with an expression that seemed to say, “Did I do well?” Well…done!Why do 10 million actors suddenly appear in a small promotional video? Of course, that moment when I want to reject it. A window appeared in front of me. ‘A 4-star hotel is KingJeong~’ Quest – Let’s build a reputation by spreading the name of the hotel. (0/100,000) – From now on, the name of the Yeongchun Hotel will be remembered by people. For every increase in the number of potential guests who want to visit the hotel, reputation will increase by 1. – Completion reward: Title ‘4-star hotel owner’ …First, we need to check what KingJeong means.
