Welcome to Dungeon Hotel Chapter 75
- Hotel coffee shops are places to relax
A few days later.
I was standing in a crowded hotel lobby.
Orders were pouring in from here and there, so I was distracted.
“Here’s a caffe latte!”
“This is caramel… something… Give me a glass of that!”
“I am the sweet one… What is it, a lot of carbonated drinks!”
It seemed that many elderly people in Byeolgok-ri, Yeongchun-myeon became addicted to the taste of coffee.
The number of customers increased a lot before and after the period.
Thanks to this, coffee alone was becoming a good side job even if there were not many guests in the hotel.
Of course, it was thanks to our manager who set an appropriate price well.
That was not all.
Perhaps because I have adapted to the people of Yeongchun-myeon, it is not so difficult to serve the coffee that customers want without having to activate their mind communication skills.
Yesterday, the owner of the hair salon came over, saying she fought with her younger sister, but she looked exhausted, so I brewed coffee like this after a few challenges using the random coffee machine.
‘Extremely Sweet Caramel Macchiato’ (D)
– Depression disappears and motivation is recovered. (Time remaining: 01:00:00)
– Increases vitality by 400%.
I even sprinkled whipped cream and drizzled on it, and the result was amazing.
Achievement ‘Sugar High! Dream High!’ 200G of Market Gold has arrived.
“Actually, I was a bit depressed, but drinking this gave me strength! Minok, I won’t leave this alone!”
“…I, it’s all a relief, right?”
“Then it’s fortunate! Even though it’s not fortunate for Minok!”
That’s how the hair salon owner disappeared like that.
To think that she was motivated and went to fight with her younger sister.
I don’t know if I did well or not.
The number of satisfied customers in the ‘Hotel Coffee Shop is a Place to Relax’ quest window reached 9.
Come to think of it, aren’t usually good hotel coffee shops very popular as meeting places?
‘But there’s always one delicious dessert on the menu.’
It’s like hotel bingsu.
I’ll have to try developing it.
Especially when dealing with a little guest like this.
“I want caramel macchiato.”
Hyejin took her seat, sat down, and proudly ordered, but the manager quickly blocked her.
“No. Kids can’t have coffee.”
“I heard there’s no such thing as coffee that makes you throbbing. Mom bragged about it a lot. And I don’t know about Hyeyu, but why am I a child?”
“But caffeine is caffeine. You will not grow. Just go home.”
“…Ah, really! I have to study at a cafe to study well!”
Hyejin took out the workbook from her bag and pointed at it.
“A craftsman does not distinguish between tools. You did not become a craftsman.”
However, it was difficult to break through the manager’s ironclad defense with a single weapon called a workbook.
“How about ice cream, manager?”
I got stuck in the middle of a mother-daughter fight and asked the manager as kindly as possible.
“I think that would be fine.”
“Hmm… I like it, too.”
Hyejin nodded her head with a slightly pouting face.
After taking her order, I went upstairs, took out the prettiest glass, and filled it with ice cream.
And instead of coffee from a random coffee machine, I pour coffee from a commercially available decaffeinated cold brew bottle.
Then I took it down and asked the manager for permission first.
“This is the decaf I was drinking. I think drinking it with some ice cream would be okay.”
“…Ah, you don’t have to do this…”
“No. You can even do that! Please give me! Please!”
In the meantime, Hyejin, who was playing while stroking Geumdong’s fur, quickly took the glass in my hand.
As soon as she drank it, she became impressed because she was at an age where the taste of coffee would feel like an adult’s.
“Uhm…! Coffee, it’s coffee.”
And at that moment.
10,000p EXP and 100G of Market Gold have arrived as a reward for completing the ‘Hotel Coffee Shop is a Place to Relax’ quest.
As expected, a window popped up.
Naturally, the level also went up.
I smiled slightly.
It’s fun to become stronger every time the guests are satisfied.
‘As expected, am I born to be in the service industry?’
Now, just one or two levels up would increase the stats and mana, but there was no big change.
But I had a hunch that something would change at level 40.
‘What could it be?’
I’m curious, but it’s still a long way from reaching level 40.
My status window now looks like this.
Name: Lee Junghyo
Title: Heart Sniper, 2-Star Hotel Owner (NEW!)
Class: Hotel Manager (Hidden) (Lv.34)
Skills: Housekeeping (B), Front Desk (B), Hotelier’s Eye (A), Mind Communication ©
Stats: Stamina 30 Strength 25 Agility 26 Intelligence 31 Luck 28
The stats are just being taken evenly, but this is no different from a C-Class hunter.
I can’t grow fast because I’m afraid I won’t be able to control my strength like Aunt Misoon.
‘Let’s start with the contract with the Hunter Association.’
As usual, I told Secretary Myunghan to come and visit Yeongchunjang once.
I want to make a contract and quickly reach level 40.
To do that, I need to sell the package promotion quickly.
With that thought in mind, I stopped as I was about to pass by Hyejin, who was cutely eating affogato from a glass.
“Ah…”
Now that I think about it, isn’t Hyejin the most appropriate person to ask about my concerns?
“By any chance… do you know any singer who’s popular these days?”
“Of course I know!”
Hyejin nodded her head, her eyes twinkling.
“These days, the trend is….”
“Mmhm.”
“…Of course, it is Han Woohyun.”
I shouldn’t have asked.
I stopped the conversation when I saw Hyejin skillfully take out a pad from among the workbooks and show Han Woohyun’s back on the lock screen.
“Han Woohyun is not a singer. Still, Thank you. Then I will leave.”
She was trying to be a fan at a cafe.
I have to block the conversation before Miyeon scolds me.
I quickly walked to the next table and took my order.
“Would you like to order?”
But Hyejin chased after me.
“Ey… Don’t do that… By the way, what is the name of Unnie’s boyfriend?”
“My boyfriend?”
Where is my boyfriend—.
Ah.
Han Woohyun.
It’s not Hong Gildong, and I couldn’t call Han Woohyun as Han Woohyun.
“Why?”
“If he has an Instagram ID, I will follow him~ He has an Instagram ID, right? Let me know~ Let’s see good things together. Blessings come when we share and live, Unnie~.”
What do I share?
“There is no Instagram ID.”
There is, but I can’t tell him because it’s an official account.
“Ey. Really? Isn’t that a lie? Phew. That’s too bad.”
The moment Hyejin licked her lips and took away her phone, a picture of a handsome man appeared vaguely on the screen.
“Who is this? friend?”
The photo taken while being blown by the wind at the Han River looks like an ordinary person’s photo, but it was an appearance that caught my eye at a glance.
“Eh? Don’t you know Min Kangjin? Min Kangjin. The pride of K-Idol. Millennium Stone.”
Hyejin held out her phone and smiled proudly.
I felt a sense of pride, as if anyone could see that the idol on the screen was a relative of Hyejin.
“Millennium Stone?”
“It is said that it is a beauty that can only appear once in 10,000 years. It is different from just unreasonable kids.”
Hyejin said so and showed me some pictures, which were scary to see.
It didn’t mean that I didn’t watch it.
“He belongs to the Spring Water Guild as an honorary hunter.”
“If it’s an honorary hunter, then he’s still a hunter, right?”
“He’s a hunter. I think E-Class? But he fights well. The last time he did DunTube, his skills were no joke. Although it was an E-Class dungeon.”
DunTube.
It is a combination of dungeon and NuTube, which means shooting NuTube broadcasts within the dungeon using a special filming device that operates within the dungeon.
I heard that there are quite a few cases where the equipment or cost is not cheap, but there are quite a few low-level hunters who try to make money.
‘I’ve been searching hard lately, so I can see some new words.’
I secretly smiled proudly.
“Heol…”
“Why?”
“No. It’s just. Unnie’s smile is like cat bread baked softly under the sunlight.”
“W, what is that?”
No matter how hard I try to keep up with a new word, it’s really hard to keep up with something like this.
Like the feeling…of the new generation?
Is it because I can’t control my expression?
Geumdong, who was acting cute at the table where the serving was delayed, looked at me and stuck out his tongue.
“Woof! (The boss… The boss is also a new generation.).”
That’s true, but…
“Anyway, I’m getting older. I like friends who are more and more physically fit.”
Hyejin smiled brightly, looking as if she had turned forty-four instead of fourteen.
How do I fix this from where?
Anyway, since it is said the fairies were old, I wondered if I should look for a trot singer rather than an idol like Hyejin shows now.
“By the way, Unnie, aren’t you going to have Instagram? You will start it, right? You will have a lot of followers.”
“I’ll think about that later.”
I answered quickly and escaped from Hyejin.
It was then.
I saw a man in a suit with a grim face standing in front of the door.
“Miss Junghyo. There are so many people here.”
It was Uncle Myunghan. The chairman of the women’s association jumped up from the table in the corner when he saw Uncle Myunghan.
“Huh? It’s a stalker! Stalker!”
“I am not a stalker!”
Uncle Myeonghan shouted with a sad face, but many merchants’ associations were already standing up.
There was a hair salon owner and a laundry owner.
All of them were people who drank our coffee and were moved.
“How dare that be our Yeongchunjang….”
“Our Yeongchunjang belongs to a handsome man… I can’t even give her to you…”
“When Yeongchunjang goes up to Seoul, who will drink our coffee?!”
No. It’s not like that.
I’m nobody’s!
Calm down everyone!
Somehow, the members of the Merchants Association were becoming more and more scary.
