Trait Hoarder Chapter 4

Becoming a Kim Warrior -3-

A thunderbolt struck my head.

This is awesome!

Think about it.

What if you could have infinite traits?

Even if it’s a sloppy public trait, it’s the same. If you have a hundred or a thousand while others are struggling with six, you’re a Munchkin.

My heart was pounding.

“where······”

I turned off the lights in the gosiwon room.

I turned on the smartphone flashlight and held it up to my eyes, and my eyes stung and a tear fell.

Also, it feels like the dark room has become slightly brighter.

[Bright Eyes] trait.

“Okay!”

He clenched his fist but was too quick to cheer.

Through his brightened eyes, he could see the bulging tendons on his fists starting to subside.

He looks down at his fist and arm in confusion.

The arms that had become muscular due to the strength trait have returned to their original, slender appearance.

“What the… Ah!”

wait for a sec.

Now that I think about it, my body has been strangely heavy for a while now.

Like the day after a thousand-mile march in the army.

If you have the Vitality trait, you can’t feel this way.

“Then that’s right.”

Does infinite trait make sense?

It seems that as new traits are gained, existing traits are deleted.

‘No.’

Still, it’s huge.

I obviously got the wound healing properties without having to use a ballpoint pen.

Unconditional acquisition of traits······

Close your eyes and concentrate.

‘Telekinesis, telekinesis, telekinesis.’

I did it just in case, but it was a complete failure and nothing changed.

Here I was able to hypothesize about new abilities.

‘Acquiring new traits is the same as Arcane Seoul.’

But what happens after that is different.

Regaining a trait that was previously acquired and then discarded.

I could do this as I pleased.

I removed the heal wounds and bright eyes traits and restored the vitality and strength traits.

It was very easy. Once you put your mind to it, the traits will change naturally. Instead of your eyes getting darker and your wounds not healing, you will feel refreshed and your arms will get thicker.

“ha ha ha.”

What should I call this?

Feature switch?

Attribute switching?

Compared to the infinite trait, it may not be much.

Still, this ability, the trait conversion, held tremendous potential.

This means that I can freely utilize the Kim Jeon Sa series that I have raised for 10,000 hours.

It doesn’t really take that much time to switch traits.

Just concentrate and think about it in your head.

Once you get used to it, it won’t even take 0.1 second, let alone 1 second.

During battle, you can switch to the Pure Tank Warrior to defend, and switch to the Extreme Damage Warrior to attack!

“Phew.”

Wow, huge hit.

One thing that’s a shame is that there’s no time to leisurely collect traits.

Money is the problem and money is the enemy.

Even if you collect traits, you have to do it while earning money.

‘Okay, fine.’

I was able to push the plan forward.

Originally, I was going to say I’m dead and just go crazy for a while, but it might end sooner than I thought.

‘Let’s get some sleep first.’

While I was collecting traits and doing other things, the night grew late.

I lay down in bed and tried to sleep.

I couldn’t fall asleep at all, but I forced myself to close my eyes and pass the time.

I tossed and turned until past 3 in the morning.

My eyes closed without me knowing, and when I opened them, it was already dawn.

Where to start?

In the game, it was simple. Just choose any level 0 lair and enter.

Here?

‘According to the setting, the government is said to be managing the cave.’

Because most level 0 dens are located near cities.

In that case, wouldn’t it be difficult for individuals to enter at will?

As expected.

When I searched for the level 0 caves I knew of, it said that only authorized people could enter the caves.

If you enter without permission, you will be subject to a fine.

‘I should start as a cleaner.’

Being a cleaner wasn’t easy either.

I looked it up on the internet and found that there are three ways to become a cave cleaner.

Local government open recruitment, registration with the cleaners association, human resources office.

Public recruitment is difficult. It is said that it is a way to become a civil servant in a janitor’s office, and the competition rate is very high because the benefits and allowances are generous. The same goes for the janitor’s association. The janitor’s association, which was established after modernization, has a long history, and it has become a powerful interest group, so it is difficult to belong to the association without connections.

I sighed briefly.

“Is this a human resources office too?”

If you keep working hard, you will inevitably become familiar with the human resources office.

It’s disheartening to think about what I’ve experienced in the real world, but realistically speaking, there’s no other way than a human resources agency.

As it happened, there was a small human resources office nearby.

As soon as I went over and opened the door, the people sitting tightly together inside the human resources office suddenly turned around.

Faces worn out by life.

Tired and slumped shoulders.

Messy hair.

A musty smell.

There was no difference between men, women, children who looked like high school students, and old people who were well into their sixties.

It was looking at me with a distorted part, either biologically altered or with a magical engineering prosthesis inserted.

“What, are you a newbie?”

“It looks difficult.”

“It’s just like our deer superman, what is it?”

“joy.”

A short, snickering young man in his early twenties.

The legs were strangely bent.

He had a short e-cigarette in his mouth, which emitted blue-green smoke and a strange fluorescent light flickered.

I squinted my eyes and looked at the man.

I know who it is.

[R deer]

He is a superhuman with the characteristic innate legs of a deer.

Thanks to his deer legs, his agility was measured to be very high, and because he was said to have used drugs from a young age, his doping limit was quite high.

Judging from what I see here, it looks like he hasn’t awakened as a superhuman yet.

The deer glared as if it sensed my gaze.

“What are you looking at?”

You speak informally to me when we first meet?

Well, it would be nice if drug addicts had good personalities.

Anyway, it’s R-class. I’m a superhuman who’s only used a few times.

I erased it from my mind and walked towards the reception desk.

The pretty receptionist smiles brightly.

“Hello! This is Choi Seon-su’s Human Resources Office! How did you come here?”

“They said they would introduce me to a job if I came here.”

“Oh! Did you happen to get introduced to someone?”

“I just searched it on the Internet.”

“Ah,” the receptionist said with a small smile.

As if I could guess what the situation was.

Then he handed me a piece of paper.

“Would you please fill out the paperwork first?”

“Yeah.”

There were several ballpoint pens attached to the reception desk.

Instead of being attached by springs as seen in the original world, they are held in place by thin but sufficiently strong iron chains.

Is someone going to steal it?

He fills out the paperwork with a smile.

[Job Placement Request Form]

[Name of Kim Jeon-sa]

[Contact number xxx-yyyy-zzzz]

[Address: 207, dd Gosiwon, Sillim AA-ro bb-gil CC, Gwanak-gu, Seoul]

[Desired industry]

[Agriculture□ Forestry□ Fisheries□ Construction□ Logistics□ Security□ ······ Cleaning□ Purification□]

My eyes, as I was writing the document, stopped at the last part.

Cleaning and purification industry.

I marked the purification business with a √, not the double cleaning business.

When I returned the documents, the receptionist gave me a knowing look.

“You know what purification is, right?”

“I know. Isn’t it cleaning the cave?”

“Tsk tsk, that’s right.”

“Another healthy person is going to die.”

A tongue-clicking sound was heard behind me.

The receptionist smiled brightly and handed me additional documents.

“You know that purification is not easy, right? And it’s dangerous.”

“of course.”

“Please read this document and sign it. Don’t say anything else later!”

[Application for participation in magic purification]

[Consent for Body Contamination]

[Physical Liability Statement]

[Confirmation of hearing all matters]

There were a lot of small talk, but this was the gist of it.

All responsibility lies with you, and even if you contract magic disease due to contaminated magic, or your body is transformed, or even if you mutate into a contaminated body by any chance, the Best Human Resources Agency cannot be held responsible in any way.

Other items that were visible were a 20% commission, no lunch or snacks provided, and mandatory enrollment in the 4 major insurance plans.

‘Wow, this is amazing.’

Four major insurances.

It is originally about a million light years away from the world’s four major insurance companies.

All of them were private insurance, and it was mandatory to subscribe to insurance from an unknown insurance company affiliated with the human resources office.

That means they’ll deduct that much and pay the daily wage.

Anyway, isn’t it a good thing that you have insurance?

Oh my.

Either way, I’m sure they’ll try to avoid giving it to you somehow.

Can’t do it.

In my position, I have to endure even this.

Wouldn’t the conditions be similar no matter which other human resources agency you go to?

After I finished filling out the form and handed it over, the receptionist quickly took it and put it away.

“All done! Now, I will interview the director. Director! There’s a new one! A new purification job!”

“Tell them to come in.”

The director’s office was located behind the reception desk, down a long, narrow hallway.

It’s quite spacious.

It’s actually bigger than the waiting room.

On one side was a large wooden desk, and in front of it was a sofa that looked soft at first glance.

At the desk sits a balding old man smoking a cigarette.

[Chief Player]

The director just rolled his eyes and looked at me.

These are not ordinary eyes.

A strange light shone from his eyes like oil.

“hmm.”

The curator scratched his cheek once.

Now I know, one side of my cheek was made of steel.

A strangely engraved grid pattern.

“New?”

“Yes! Are you interested in the purification industry?”

“Good job, Jeonghwa. Sit over there. Where should I look? Mr. Kim, sir?”

“Yes. This is Warrior Kim.”

The director bows his head and looks at the documents.

“Do you live nearby?”

“That’s why I came here.”

“I thought about it well. It’s better to be close, right? No matter what you do, there’s nothing better than seeing your face in person. Just looking at you, you look good and your eyes are clear, so you’re good at purifying magic. So, do you have a temple you go to?”

“doesn’t exist.”

“Oh, oh, oh. That won’t do. We can’t leave the magic contamination alone. We need to make offerings to the temple periodically and be purified. Should I introduce you to a temple I know?”

It is a speech style that cleverly mixes informal and formal speech.

I shook my head slightly.

“No. Let’s find out separately.”

“What, do you do that······ have you ever had any experience with purification?”

“No. This is my first time.”

“It’s the first time, so this is the first time. You don’t have a separate team?”

“yes.”

“Then I’ll put you in a suitable team. You were lucky. There happened to be a vacancy. The team leader there has over 10 years of experience and is second to none in terms of skill.”

“That’s good.”

“Right? But there’s a problem.”

“Is there a problem?”

“The team leader there is a bit picky about people. They only accept team members who have at least 3 years of experience.”

I know what you mean.

He’s asking for a bribe from himself and that team leader. Or to adjust the commission rate.

I’m really speechless.

You want to take the liver of a flea, and not only is the 20% commission not enough, but you also want to take the insurance premium and take the bribe?

I hardened my face.

“Because I have nothing to give you.”

“Hmm! You don’t have to give it to me right away. Aren’t you in a position to learn anyway? Think of it as paying tuition and give the team leader a little extra. If you learn like that for two years, no, just one year, you’ll be able to make a difference, so wouldn’t it be okay to go to another team and adjust the tuition?”

aha.

So you want me to do passion pay for a year?

My face hardened even more.

“I’m sorry, but I really need the money. Someone with little experience is fine.”

“No, you’re turning down such a good opportunity? Are you out of your mind? How dangerous is it to clean the cave? Instead of learning from a capable team leader, you’re just talking about money. Do you think money is more important than life? If you do that, you’ll die!”

“Please, please.”

“Ahem.”

The director gives him a disapproving look.

Even so, a cunning light was flashing deep in his eyes.

“Are you in that hurry?”

“yes.”

“Then what······ Let’s do this. The regular team isn’t everything in the purification business. Have you heard of the temporary team?”

“This is the first time I’ve heard of it.”

“It’s nothing special, it’s just a team that gets assigned to work when there’s work to be done. It won’t be easy, but since the team leader’s share is gone, the payout ratio will be okay. What do you think? Do you have any thoughts?”

The director’s eyes meet mine.

The director pretends to have a nice face.

Just looking at his face, he looks like a kind neighborhood uncle.

But I could look into the curator’s eyes and read the inner thoughts that I had been sick of seeing in the original world.

[You little punk.]

You’re saying you’re going to use it.

Even if I join a temporary team, I can earn as much as I would on a regular team, or even more.

Is that possible in a mere level 0 lair?

······It is quite possible.

I know where the director will throw me.

I chuckled.

“I’m happy to participate.”
