The premium market overall had a structure similar to that of a department store. It just seemed grander and more luxurious. 

Each brand had a separate store, and professional staff stood in front of it. Haeun’s eyes sparkled with curiosity. 

“Have you been here before?”

“No. This is my first time.”

That’s why she was looking forward to it more. 

Haeun planned to do a full set here today. There is a saying that craftsmen don’t choose tools, but Haeun’s usual theory was that life is all about equipment. 

Just in time, the dedicated staff member who was waiting approached Haeun and Seo Dojoon.

“Welcome, Hunter Seo Dojoon. And Hunter Jung Haeun! I’ve been waiting.” 

The employee was smiling brightly with red cheeks. She was trying to stay calm, but the slight trembling in her voice made it clear that the other person was excited. 

It was understandable. She was an employee who got a chance to entertain Haeun after a fierce battle.

For reference, in the current employee lounge, numerous employees who lost with fists instead of scissors were crying and regretting their choice.

‘It’s really Hunter Jung Haeun…!’

The heart of the employee who had the honor of meeting Haeun in real life, whom she had only seen on the Internet, was beating fast. 

Currently, Haeun’s popularity is enormous. Even the mysterious image was maintained because there were no special activities that were revealed on the surface.

But today, Jung Haeun visited the premium market!

What would be her reason for coming to buy the item? There will be a dungeon raid soon, so all there is to do is get ready.

And she herself became a participant in that great process.

“Thanks to Choi Seoyoung-ssi, we were able to choose a good item. It was all thanks to Choi Seoyoung-ssi that we were able to finish our dungeon attack successfully. Thank you!”

An employee clenched her fist as she thought about a time when Haeun would be satisfied with the items she sold. She will bet her 15 years of seller life, and will definitely satisfy her. 

Haeun and Seo Dojoon were immediately guided to the drawing room. It was a special space used by premium markets to provide services to some VIPs.

“Our premium market provides the best items to our customers. We are partnering with the world’s best workshops, such as Haniel of the United States, Hephaestus Workshop of Greece, and Leonessa of Italy. Of course, Hunter Jung Haeun’s father, Hunter Jung Jinho’s work is also on sale.”

The employee asked while serving the finest coffee beans roasted by a professional barista.

“Is there a product you are looking for in particular?”

“I want to see the armor and stat enhancement line. With mostly new products.”

“Are you not interested in weapons, Haeun-ssi?”

“That’s fine. Dad said he would take care of it.”

Jung Jinho, who even returned new items from Bobby, said that the first item that his awakened daughter would carry must be made by himself.

“Yes, I understand. Please wait for a moment.”

Haeun, sitting on the sofa, shook her feet in anticipation. The employee immediately returned with the selected item without making Haeun wait.

“Basically, these are armor with additional stat enhancement options. This line of Centaurs here is strength and agility, and this line of Matagoth here is magical power enhancement items.”

As Haeun ordered, all the employees came out with the best items.

Among them, the product she was most proud of was Matagoth’s leather gloves. Skill Accuracy and Critical Rate increase, and can produce up to 1.5 times the output value when combined with the owner’s temperament. 

Seo Dojoon nodded with a serious face.

“If it’s Matagoth’s leather, it’s definitely fine. Because of the characteristics of the monster that becomes the base skin, there are basically fire and poison resistance properties. At this point, the added stats are pretty good too. How about trying it on, Haeun-ssi?” 

At Seo Dojoon’s suggestion, Haeun tried on the gloves. It feels smooth and adheres to the skin. There were two colors, white and black. The employee asked Haeun.

“How is it?” 

“I like it! But how much is it?”

“If you buy both sets together, it costs 80 million won.”

It was definitely a premium market, so the price was not cheap.

Hearing the staff member’s words, Haeun fell into trouble for a moment. There was a very important issue to decide hastily.

‘Which color should I buy?’

White is neat and pretty, and black explodes the so-called coolness.

[The Constellation ‘Mutant of the Abyss’ asks what she’s thinking and asks her to just buys both.]

‘Okay!’

She needs both because she has to change it according to her mood. As it was a monumental day when she came to buy hunter equipment for the first time, Haeun decided to buy everything she wanted to buy.

“Give me both!”

Seo Dojoon looked back at Haeun in surprise at the outspoken decision.

“Are those shoes from the same line?”

“Yes, that’s right. It boasts strong durability as it is tanned by finely carved magic stones on the bottom leather. It has the effect of increasing jumping power, and a critical blow occurs with a certain probability when linking skills. In a field-type dungeon, the speed of movement increases by 30 percent.” 

“Give me one for each of those colors, too. That jacket and pants too. Um, no. I don’t think white is good for this design. Do you have other products?”

“Of course. I’ll show you soon, Hunter-nim!”

The employee who hit the jackpot smiled brightly. Haeun was as good in consumption as her fame. There was no hesitation in her purchase.

“What is this ring?”

Haeun, who had moved on to the accessories part, pointed to one of the silver rings and asked. 

The ring, which has a simple design without any special decorations, looks rather plain compared to other fancy items. However, Haeun knew that the more modest it was, the more better it was. 

The staff applauded in admiration.

“You really have a good eye! This ring is a new model of a communication tool for dungeons made by the Italian workshop of Leonesa.”

“Ohh.”

“Authorized users can communicate within the dungeon. As you know, the usual means of contact don’t work in Dungeon. Compared to last season’s product, this product has improved communication sound quality and has a new design. The ring automatically adjusts to fit the size of the person who wears it.”

[The Constellation ‘Mutant of the Abyss’ says it’s a must-have item for Haeun and told her to put it in her shopping cart.]

Haeun also felt strong curiosity. Above all, she liked the fact that communication was possible from a serious point of view.

If, like last time, she encountered a maze-type dungeon and struggled, shouldn’t there be a way to contact someone who will come to rescue Haeun? 

As promised to Jung Eunwoo, she will have to raid dungeons from time to time in the future, but she wanted to avoid the occurrence of wandering around without finding a way into the dungeon.

“Pretty.” 

She thought it was a simple design, but the side was surprisingly delicate. The finely carved rose vines surrounding the rim of the ring twinkled whenever the light hit them, which was exactly Haeun’s taste.

“How much is this?”

The clerk smiled broadly and said.

“It’s four thousand one hundred and one hundred thousand won.”

“Five… Um, no. Six, please. I’ll pay at once. Can I use a credit card?” 

“Of course! Please wait a little bit, Hunter Jung Haeun!”

The employee who received the card hurriedly left the drawing room, saying she would pack it quickly.

Seo Dojoon looked blank. Even before Seo Dojoon stepped forward, he watched the shopping end in front of his eyes.

Drinking moderately cooled coffee, Haeun grinned.

“This won’t be too much to enter the dungeon, right?”

There is no difficulty. Rather, it will be enough to overflow. The dungeon in which Ha-eun will enter is only a B-Class dungeon at best.

In the end, Seo Dojoon could not hold back his curiosity and asked.

“Haeun-ssi, didn’t you call me because of the profit from raiding the dungeon?”

“That’s right.”

“Isn’t that card a card with no limits? Are you thinking of buying in any country?”

“Yes? Ahaha.”

Haeun burst into laughter at the rather unexpected question. Then she said, shaking her hand.

“What do you mean a country? I am simple.”

With the money she earns from raiding activities, she will join the ranks of building owners. Because she doesn’t want to be left behind. Like her younger brother and Seo Dojoon, she would be satisfied with just buying a few buildings on the yolk land in Seoul. Isn’t that a rather modest goal?

“That card was just given to me by my mom and dad to use today….And as far as I know, it must have been a card issued to commemorate something in the past? In reality, it’s probably not unlimited.”

“Have you ever reached the limit?”

“No.” 

“….” 

Seo Dojoon thought that it would be a card with a 100% probability that there was no limit.

“It’s more unfortunate than that. I was going to buy you a present today, but…” 

“Yes? Ey, why is Seo Dojoon-ssi buying it for me? It is something I will use.”

“Still, since this is your first dungeon raid with me, I wanted to give you something helpful.”

“Oho, put it, put it in.” 

Ha-eun waved her hand again, speaking like a manager.

Receiving Noodle from Seo Dojoon was already enough. Although Noodle has been sluggish and still a bracelet these days.

“Here is the receipt. All items have been packed. Can I have it delivered to your home?”

“I haven’t moved house yet. Oh, can you send me here?”

The address that Haeun showed on her cell phone was Jung Eunwoo’s office in the Dungeon Safety Management Office.

‘When he gets home from work, I’ll ask him to bring it home.’

The employee nodded her head as if it were natural.

“I will deliver it within this afternoon.”

“Please. Oh, and hold on. Seo Dojoon-ssi, take this.”

Haeun took out one of the products that she had received. It was a ring-shaped communication device that bought a total of six.

Haeun held out one of them to Seo Dojoon without hesitation.

“Here is a gift.”

Seo Dojoon asked in surprise.

“You mean me?”

“Why do you want to me…” 

“It’s the bus fare.”

Haeun smiled.
