Ordinary Art Factor [EN]: Chapter 51

2-2

2-2

Since everyone was gathered, Han-deuk seized the opportunity to announce the dungeon clear rewards.

I was more focused on gas than minerals anyway, and since I didn’t know how much mineral was mined, it was better for Han-deuk to announce it than for me to do it… No, it’s just because I’m lazy.

“Everyone worked hard, Han-deuk!”

“Yes, Party Leader.”

“How much mineral did you mine?”

“About 250kg in total. That’s more than the Grade 8 in Haeundae, Busan…”

“250kg?”

“T-Two hundred and fifty? Then, how much is that, really?”

“Wow! I knew it was a lot, but how can you get 250kg from a Grade 8?”

“Jackpot!”

Considering that the mineral reward for clearing the Grade 8 bio dungeon in Haeundae, Busan, last time was 160kg, is the Seongpanak dungeon about 1.5 times more?

My head hurts. I can’t calculate it.

“Ji-hye.”

“Yes, Oppa. Let’s say the reward for clearing the Grade 8 mechanized dungeon in Seongpanak is 250kg. Oppa gets 40%, which is 100kg, and from the remaining 150kg, we take out 5% each for the team leader and deputy team leader, which is 30kg. Then we divide the remaining 120kg by 14 people, it’s about 8.6kg per person, roughly 30 million won [approximately $22,500 USD].”

As expected, the mage is fast at calculations.

Ji-hye informs us of the distribution situation according to the reward, calculating it mentally.

“T-Thirty million won?”

“Really? Is what the deputy team leader of Team 1 said correct?”

“Wait a minute. Let me calculate it too.”

“Eun-hee, is it correct?”

A member of Team 2 asks Kim Eun-hee.

The assumption is that Kim Eun-hee is also a battle mage, so she will be quick at calculations.

“No. To be exact, the party members get 8.571kg each, which amounts to 30 million won. The team leader and deputy team leader get 16.071kg with an additional 7.5kg, which is 56.24 million won [approximately $42,200 USD]. That’s exactly 26.24 million won [approximately $19,700 USD] more than us. And the party leader…”

“Tch~. As long as the amount is right, who cares about the decimals… Hmph! Show-off.”

Ji-hye pouts from the side.

Regardless, when Kim Eun-hee verifies the reward amount, the party members go wild.

“Wow~.”

“Thirty million in one go! Thirty million!”

“It’s a different level from Grade 9. A different level!”

“The reward is so high because we cleared it so quickly! It’s all thanks to the party leader!”

“That’s right! It’s because of the party leader. I knew it was different from Haeundae, Busan.”

“Long live the party leader! Long live!”

Some of the party members jump up and down and start cheering.

Some shout cheers, some throw uppercuts, some look at the team leader and deputy team leader, and some look at me.

‘Hmm. 100kg of mineral is 350 million won [approximately $263,000 USD]? D-Daebak [amazing]?’

I watched them and inwardly cheered with joy, pretending to be cool.

After a while.

Everyone seemed to have calmed down to some extent and prepared to leave the dungeon.

“Han-deuk, aren’t you going to check the item drops?”

“Hahaha. Hyung-nim [older brother/respected one], you’re too greedy. The mineral reward alone is 250kg, and you’re still interested in item drops? Haha… Should I look?”

“Yeah. I invested all my stat points into luck this time when I leveled up. Look for items.”

“Excuse me? You put all your stat points into… luck?”

“Yeah. What else would I raise? I should raise my luck as much as possible.”

“T-Then, what’s your luck stat right now?”

“13.”

“Heok [gasp]!”

“Why?”

“Y-Your luck stat is really 13? Really?”

“That’s right. But why is that?”

“Mine is 3. I couldn’t even bring myself to allocate points to it because it felt like a waste.”

“Am I the same as you guys? You guys need to raise strength, stamina, endurance, and magic power. I have nothing to raise. That’s why I did it.”

“H-He’s still amazing.”

“There’s nothing amazing about it. If you were in my situation, you would have done the same.”

At my words, Han-deuk shook his head and ordered the team members to check for item drops.

Well, since we’re going out of the dungeon anyway, we just need to check around the Nexus, Gateway, and defense towers on the way out.

Just because my luck stat went from 3 to 13 with the investment of 10 points doesn’t mean items will drop like crazy.

But at Han-deuk’s words, the party members start searching the dungeon floor with their eyes wide open. As if an item had dropped.

‘Purification of Flames (Absorbable)

Source: Mechanized Dungeon (Grade 8), Grade: Grade 8,

Fire Magic-type stat availability: 1.2% increase (differential availability based on level)’

‘Idea Awl (Absorbable)

Source: Mechanized Dungeon (Grade 8), Grade: Grade 8,

Magic-type (Artifact) Enchant stat availability: 1.7% increase (differential availability based on level)’

“H-Hyung-nim!”

“Oppa! It’s Oppa’s!”

“It’s really something to see after living so long.”

“I know. I’ve never seen an item drop before.”

“Me neither.”

“Listen carefully. When the existing support party cleared a Grade 9 dungeon, there were times when a mineral multi spawned and 11 items came out.”

“…Are you kidding me?”

“You punk! Of course, I’m kidding. Do you think Gil-soo hyung-nim would eat expensive food and talk nonsense…”

*Thwack~.*

Gil-soo hits the back of his cousin Yang Gi-soo’s head.

“Ask the Team 1 leader or deputy team leader, or the Team 2 deputy team leader later. See if I’m lying or not.”

“R-Really?”

“I told you to ask.”

“Really, a multi spawned and 11 items dropped? That doesn’t make sense…”

*Thwaack!*

“Agh! Hyung!”

“You little punk! Why would I lie to you in front of the party leader! Believe it or not. Check the clear rewards on the Awakened Association homepage later!”

I watched a scene of Gil-soo and his cousin’s skit and asked Ji-hye.

“How much does something like this go for?”

“Are you going to sell it?”

“Well, it says it’s absorbable, but I don’t think I need it? It’s an enchant. What do I have to enchant?”

Before I could finish speaking, Han-deuk dissuaded me.

“Hyung-nim, you should absorb it just in case? It’s not like you’re short on money, right?”

“That’s true, but aren’t I going to get indigestion if I eat it wrong?”

“There are no side effects for absorbable items depending on the class. It’s just that it might be useless depending on the characteristics.”

“That’s what I’m saying. Why would I pick up something useless?”

“Then, do as you please, Hyung-nim. You can sell it if you want.”

“No, Oppa. You have to absorb items that match your class whenever you have the chance. Even if you don’t need it, it will eventually become blood and flesh [become a part of you/improve you]. How many parties break up because of item distribution after clearing a dungeon? And this is the first time an item that matches Oppa’s characteristics has dropped. You have to absorb it no matter what.”

It’s not logical, but I somehow agree.

“Should I?”

“Yeah. I haven’t even seen a magic-type artifact enchant on the homepage. It’s really amazing. Absorb it quickly.”

Are you telling me to absorb it because the item is amazing?

Well, I’m also amazed.

I thought there were no items that matched my class.

I took Ji-hye’s words as comfort and reached for the enchant item called ‘Idea Awl’.

‘S…pa…aah!’

The white light emanating from the item followed my hand to my chest, and after a moment, a notification popped up.

[Ding! Absorbed the magic-type item ‘Idea Awl’. Enchant stats are granted.]

“Oppa, what is it? What kind of ability is it?”

“Hyung-nim.”

Ji-hye and Han-deuk are more excited than me.

“I have to check the status. Wait. Status window!”

[Artifact: Han Ji-won (Lv-3)

“Huh? Enchant?”

“What? What is it? Tell me~.”

“Hyung-nim, what changed?”

“Enchant trait appeared. The stat is 1, Idea Awl is in the inventory, and that’s it.”

“Huh? That’s it? Nothing else changed?”

“What should change? Just because I absorbed an item, am I supposed to be the best?”

“Tch~ I thought it would be something special, but it’s not.”

“I’m done, what are you going to do with this Purification of Flames?”

I ignored Ji-hye, who looked disappointed, and asked Han-deuk.

I absorbed one of the two items because it matched my traits, but the other one is different.

In the past, it would have matched Ji-hye or Mi-hye, especially since it’s ‘Purification of Flames’, but now, besides Ji-hye, others are also eyeing this item.

Among the battle mages, Choi Eun-ji from Team 1 and Kim Eun-hee from Team 2 have the fire attribute besides Ji-hye.

“Since I’m the deputy team leader, shouldn’t I have priority?”

“What are you talking about? We cleared the dungeon together, you can’t ignore the contribution just because you have a higher position.”

“T-That’s right.”

Kim Eun-hee objects to Ji-hye’s selfish opinion, and Choi Eun-ji agrees.

I have to step in at times like this.

It’s annoying. Let’s finish this quickly and leave.

“Play rock-paper-scissors.”

“Oppa!”

“Why?”

“Is this a problem to be solved with rock-paper-scissors!”

“Yeah. Let’s decide like this this time and take turns sequentially from next time? Or should we sell it and split it N [equally]?”

“What are you talking about! Why would you sell this? How hard is it to find an item that matches your traits? Money is secondary, there’s no stock!”

“Then are you going to divide it? This isn’t something you can divide.”

“T-That’s right.”

“Then what are you going to do? Okay. Well, you three can figure it out… Han-deuk!”

“Yes, Hyung-nim.”

“I’ve checked all the item drops, let’s withdraw.”

“Hehe. Understood, Party Leader. Each team forms a moving formation. Don’t be complacent just because we cleared it, form a formation!”

I left Ji-hye, Kim Eun-hee, and Choi Eun-ji behind and started moving.

As I moved leisurely and glanced back, I saw three women gathered in a circle, playing rock-paper-scissors with loud shouts.

The shouts are louder than when clearing the dungeon.

‘Rock~ Paper~ Scissors~.’

Since they have to distinguish between 1st and 2nd place, they’ll probably do it twice?

I stopped walking for a moment and watched them.

After leaving the dungeon, I filled out the clear completion report at the management office, boarded the van that brought us here, and headed to the sauna as a group.

Then, following the clear moving route unique to the support party that had been going on since clearing the Grade 10 dungeon, we stopped by the Awakened shopping mall to exchange money and window shop for magic items, and then moved to the always-visited beef specialty restaurant.

As we entered the beef specialty restaurant that Han-deuk had reserved, side dishes were set up, and we made somaek [a mix of soju and beer] with soju and beer and proposed a toast.

“Let’s celebrate the successful Grade 8 mechanized dungeon clear achieved by the support party today and have a drink. Those who can’t drink alcohol can drink soda.”

“Yes, Party Leader.”

“Okay, Oppa.”

“Understood.”

Everyone filled or poured their glasses and raised them.

As expected, they are all Awakened.

There are no glasses filled with soda.

“I hope everyone will continue to follow me well in the future, and congratulations on clearing the Grade 8 mechanized dungeon. Cheers!”

“Thank you for your hard work, Party Leader!”

“Thank you, Party Leader!”

“Oppa~ Good job.”

“Hyung-nim, you worked hard.”

We congratulated each other and raised our glasses, and as yukhoe [Korean-style beef tartare], liver, and tripe were brought in first, the speed of drinking began to increase.

With this dungeon clear reward, the party members earned about 30 million won [approximately $22,500 USD], the team leader and deputy team leader earned 50 million won [approximately $37,600 USD], and I earned about 350 million won [approximately $263,000 USD].

Since my contribution accounts for almost more than half, I should receive this much. Hehe.

I got one of the two items dropped during the dungeon clear, and Kim Eun-hee got the other one.

Choi Eun-ji was second, and Ji-hye had no choice but to look forward to the next time.

Maybe that’s why Kim Eun-hee looked so happy.

As she drank soju [Korean distilled rice liquor] with a slightly flushed face and made eye contact with me, I quickly turned my head and proposed a toast to Han-deuk.

Forget the red sunset… Her face, flushed with alcohol, looked quite attractive.

Am I crazy?

While I was clinking glasses with Han-deuk and talking about the upcoming dungeon clear schedule,

‘Wooong… Woooong.’

My phone, placed on the table, vibrated.

Hmm?

Hyun Tae-min from the Support Team of the Awakened Association, Jeju Branch?

The contact information I saved from a business card pops up.

At this hour?

‘Yes, this is Han Ji-won.’

‘Support Party. Is this Han Ji-won’s phone?’

‘Yes, it is.’

‘I’m not sure if you remember, but are you the one who took the Awakened ability measurement test at our Awakened Association, Jeju Branch, before?’

‘Yes, that’s right. I think I saw you once last year when the 10th-grade Armored Dungeon appeared in Yongdam-dong.’

‘Hey, everyone, quiet for a moment.’

It’s hard to hear because it’s noisy around.

‘…I understand that when we measured you back then, you were an Awakened of the 10th grade with a stat of 4.’

‘That’s right. But what’s the matter?’

‘I’m looking at the Seongpanak 8th-grade Dungeon clear completion report right now. Is this actually true?’

‘Yes.’

‘A support party composed of 15 9th-grade Awakened, and you’re the party leader?’

‘That sounds strange. Are you interrogating me?’

As my voice starts to rise, the atmosphere of the dinner becomes strange.

‘I apologize if I offended you. It’s just very unusual. Actually, I’m looking at Han Ji-won’s dungeon clear history from last year, and I’m quite taken aback.’

‘By what?’

‘It’s very strange. The clear reward details are at least twice as much, and up to five times more, compared to other parties. I think the higher-ups found this odd.’

‘So?’

Cutting to the chase, just the main point.

‘We have an investigation, or rather, many questions, so we would appreciate your cooperation.’

‘I was promoted to a 9th-grade Awakened at the beginning of this year, and my stats increased. I don’t see why I should waste my time cooperating.’

‘…….’

When the other person doesn’t say anything, I ask again.

‘If it’s just about that, can I hang up now? Awakened stats and dungeon clear reward details aren’t something you can fake, are they? The management office should have checked it themselves, right?’

‘Ah, no. It’s not just that issue. Are you available tomorrow by any chance?’

‘No.’

I’m busy.

No, even if I’m not busy, I have no intention of going there.

Annoying.

‘Are you not available this week? It’s important. It’s also a good thing for Han Ji-won.’

‘A good thing, I don’t know what that is, but I understand for now. If I have time from tomorrow afternoon, I’ll contact you. I’ll hang up then.’

As I put down the phone, everyone is staring at me.

‘Hyung-nim [term of endearment for an older brother or male friend]. What’s going on?’

‘The Awakened Association, Jeju Branch.’

‘Why? Why are they calling at this hour?’

Ji-hye provokes me with slightly slurred speech.

In response to Ji-hye’s question, I fill the soju [Korean distilled rice liquor] glass in front of me to the brim and down it in one shot.

It’s annoying to explain. Let it be.

As soon as I put down the soju glass, Han-deuk refills it without giving me a chance to eat any snacks.

What’s this? Are you telling me to drink and die?

Are you provoking me too?

The next day.

Annoyingly, despite it being unnecessary, the Awakened Association, Jeju Branch, keeps calling.

At first, I didn’t answer a few times, but as texts and calls kept coming, I slowly started to get annoyed.

‘What is it! Why do you keep calling! Can I report this to the main branch?’

‘I’m sorry. This is Go Yong-seok, the team leader of the support team at the Awakened Association, Jeju Branch. I sincerely apologize for unintentionally bothering you.’

Oh?

It’s not that young employee I talked to yesterday?

The voice is deep and seems like it belongs to a middle-aged man.

‘Well, I’m sorry too. I was working on something important, and you kept calling at all hours….’

‘No, we were the ones who bothered you. Are you near your house by any chance? I’m about to move near Oedo for some business.’

Is this team leader coming all the way to see me?

Why?

And what’s with that flimsy excuse?

‘I think I’ll have time in an hour. If you come to the Buyoung area of Oedo, give me a call.’

‘Okay. I’ll see you then.’

I lay down in the living room and hung up the phone.

Why do they keep asking to see me?

Hmm, since there’s about an hour left until the appointment, should I watch ‘Let’s Clean Up the Refrigerator’ again? It’s really fun these days.

One hour later, near the OO coffee shop in Buyoung Apartment, Oedo.

As I enter, a man in his early 50s wearing a dark brown suit looks at me.

‘Are you by any chance Han Ji-won?’

‘Yes, that’s me.’

‘Nice to meet you. I’m Go Yong-seok, the team leader of the support team at the Awakened Association, Jeju Branch. Here’s my business card.’

‘Yes, nice to meet you. I don’t have a business card.’

‘Haha… No, it’s okay. The reason I bothered Han Ji-won like this is that the dungeon clear completion report is quite unique. The dungeon clear rewards for 10th grade, 9th grade, and even 8th grade are amazing. Is there any special method?’

‘It’s just my trait [unique ability].’

‘Your class is a mage-type Art Factor, isn’t it? I looked through the Awakened Association’s computer system, and there are fewer than 10 Art Factors in Korea. And all of them are engaged in work unrelated to dungeon clears.’

‘I like clearing dungeons. It’s quite lucrative. But have I committed any illegal acts? Is an Art Factor not allowed to clear dungeons?’

‘No, it’s not illegal. What does the class have to do with dungeon clears? Whether you’re an Art Factor, a blacksmith, or a summoner, if you have the ability, you can clear dungeons and bear the risks.’

‘Yes, that’s right.’

What are you trying to say to me?

Stop beating around the bush and get to the point!

As I stop responding and just sip my mango juice, the man gets to the main point.

‘Han Ji-won, let’s be honest. If you’re going to continue working as an Awakened in Jeju, it’s not bad to be friendly with us, is it? How did you clear the dungeons?’

‘It’s as the rumors say.’

‘…Is that true?’

‘Yes.’

‘I know you renewed your license as a 9th-grade at the beginning of this year. Is it possible for a 9th-grade Awakened to do such unbelievable things? Han Ji-won, don’t joke around….’

This guy!

Why can’t you understand even when I tell you the truth?

In fact, it’s not bad to be friendly with the Awakened Association, Jeju Branch.

No, they’ll give me more convenience.

They could have some influence over the dungeon clear entry order managed by the association, and there could be commission or tax benefits.

But what’s the point if this guy doesn’t believe me!

I vaguely heard from Han-deuk at the last company dinner.

Rumors about me are slowly spreading in Jeju and Busan.

Well, most of them are treated as nonsense, but some people are spreading rumors, saying they saw it themselves.

Maybe the core of those rumors is the acquaintances of our party members or that party with that crazy bitch.

Let’s not worry about it. It’s annoying.

That’s that, but how do I make this guy understand?

Should I take him with me when I clear a dungeon?

‘Excuse me, Team Leader, are you an Awakened?’

‘Me? No. There’s no way, is there?’

That’s right.

Why would an Awakened be stuck in an office job?

‘By the way! Is it possible to apply for a re-examination due to special circumstances at the Jeju Branch?’

‘Apply for a re-examination?’

‘Yes.’

‘Were there any special circumstances? As you know, the Awakened ability test is conducted once a year.’

‘You said you were curious about the dungeon clear reward details that you mentioned earlier, Team Leader? I can’t take you to the dungeon to show you, and you don’t believe what people say, so what am I supposed to do? Is a re-examination possible? Or not?’

‘… Um… I understand. I’ll request it from the branch manager with my authority. For reference, the measurement cost is 5 million won [approximately $3,760 USD], and it can be done as early as tomorrow….’

‘I’m not paying.’

‘Yes?’

‘Am I measuring because I want to know my stats? I can check the status window. This is to show the team leader, who doesn’t believe me and only talks about grades, objective facts, so why are you talking about costs? I won’t do it. I’ll get up now.’

As I make a motion to get up from the table, the team leader urgently calls out to me.

‘We’ll do it for free.’

‘It’s not that you’re doing it for me, but that I’m cooperating. For free.’

‘Ahem… I understand. You have a meticulous personality.’

‘I’ve been working for more than 10 years. I have to take care of what I need to take care of. Don’t you think so?’

‘… You should come by 3 PM tomorrow. We’ll have it prepared.’

‘I’ll go by 4 PM. I have something to do.’

What work?

I’m not busy.

This is all part of the push and pull.

‘It would be good for you to get along with me in the future, but if you act like this, it will be difficult for us to see each other.’

‘Haha… Let’s have a drink after the measurement tomorrow. I’ll buy.’

‘My quitting time is after 6 PM.’

‘Tomorrow it will be after 4 PM.’

‘……?’

I downed the remaining mango juice in front of the team leader, who looked clueless.

By the way, where should I go to get closer to this guy?

The next day.

After ordering a large jjajangmyeon [black bean noodles in black bean sauce] for a late breakfast and having a cup of coffee to cleanse my palate, I received a KakaoTalk message from Han-deuk.

‘Hyung-nim. I’ve arrived in front of your house.’

‘Okay. I’ll go out.’

I turn off the TV and go outside, and Han-deuk’s car is visible in one corner of the parking lot.

He turns on the engine and approaches the entrance as if he has spotted me.

As soon as I sit in the passenger seat, he asks for my opinion as if he’s in a hurry.

‘Hyung-nim. How about asking them to regularly allocate 8th-grade dungeon clear orders?’

‘Regularly?’

‘Yes. Whether it’s once a month or every 20 days, regardless of the clear application order.’

‘Regardless of other party applications?’

‘Yes.’

‘Will they even do that much for us?’

‘We have to push for it first. It’s no loss even if we don’t get it, right?’

‘That’s true. I’ll say something while watching the situation, so liven up the atmosphere from the side.’

‘Okay. Hyung-nim. Let’s try to coax them gently. Hehe….’

‘Hehe… Okay.’

I told Han-deuk about the meeting with the team leader of the support team at the Awakened Association, Jeju Branch, yesterday, and we gathered opinions on how our party could utilize them even a little bit.

The party members presented various opinions, and all sorts of things came out, but nothing was decided.

Well, it may be a situation where we’re all collectively jumping to conclusions, but if there’s an opportunity to extract something, we have to put a strong leash on it.

Even if it’s a rotten rope.

There is only one 8th-grade dungeon in Jeju, the Seongpanak Armored Dungeon.

The clear rewards become significantly different as the grade increases, and parties from all over the country are applying for clear entry, so the Seongpanak 8th-grade Armored Dungeon clear entry application was closed at the beginning of the year.

Even if it’s based on the local ordinance for Awakened, the time gap for re-entry after the support party cleared it this time is too long.

The situation is uncertain whether it will be a month or two.

However, if 15 9th-grade Awakened are divided into teams to clear 9th or 10th grade, the eyes of the party members who received the 8th-grade clear reward this time have become too high.

If they’re going to clear a dungeon, they want a high grade, and they won’t even look at the 9th and 10th grades, where the clear reward is only a few million won.

Anyway, the opinion on entering the Seongpanak 8th-grade dungeon within the limits managed by the Awakened Association, or rather, within the limits of their authority, received the most support.

However, since they are also public officials, they cannot decide as they please, so we must first confront them and observe the situation.

The Awakened Association of Korea, Jeju Branch.

I send a text message to the team leader I met yesterday outside, saying that I have arrived, and go up to the 4th floor.

As I get off the elevator, the support team leader and an employee named Hyun Tae-min approach.

‘You came on time. Come this way.’

After following them into the meeting room and having coffee, about 10 minutes pass with jokes and small talk before we can move to the measurement room to change clothes.

‘Do you know how to measure?’

‘Yes.’

Before anyone can say anything, I stride over to the ability measurement panel, lie down comfortably, and grab the mineral controllers on both sides.

Then, a large measurement discriminator flips over from the back and covers my entire body.

‘Do you feel anything strange?’

‘No.’

‘We will now begin measuring the Awakened’s ability. Please state your class and name.’

‘Mage-type Art Factor, Han Ji-won.’

‘Confirmed. Han Ji-won, focus on the controller, and Key On!’

At the measurer’s words, I hear the sound of an engineer operating something.

‘Wooong… Wooong….’

This is the third time including today’s measurement, but I still can’t get used to it.

Should I think of it as being in an adult incubator?

No. It feels even worse than that.

The vibration sound from the panel on the back and the discriminator covering my body is quite annoying.

Like a OO adult product with a strange vibration.

‘By the way, if my stat is 201, is that 7th grade?’

I renewed it as 9th grade at the beginning of this year, and it’s a little over a month and it’s 7th grade… Hehe. The association employees will be quite surprised after the measurement, right?

I’m slightly distracted, but the measurement room is bustling.

I keep hearing strange coughs and screams, but I can’t tell what the sound is because of the vibration sounds coming from all directions.

‘Wooong… Woong. Ddiriri Ddirik.’

The ability measurement ends in less than 5 minutes.

They want 5 million won for these 5 minutes?

These scamming bastards!
