[Molrangmol Recruitment <<< Anyone from the gallery pass?][Author: DrSaika]
For me,
Middle school grad Awakener.
15 years Home Protector experience (15-time winner of Our House Guard of the Year / 15 years accident-free).
2 gate explorations (highest in family history).
With specs like this, I got rejected on documents??? Does this make sense???
They just weren't gonna hire from the start, right?
Ten Chains acting all high and mighty.
I'm Kang Kwon-cheol, and I'm gonna give Molrangmol a piece of my mind.

Finally, March arrived.
Mid-month already, but winter's tantrum was still going strong—no sign of the warm spring breeze.
"Huuuuh...."
I stretched my arms, savoring the thick breath steaming out.
"Could you put it a bit more to the side? Angle it right."
Woo-ee!
Thud!
Mini, and Seolbaegi disguised as Mini, set the sofa down per my instructions.
This was the factory.
One in Chungcheongbuk-do, near Gyeonggi Province.
Bought it for mass-producing Molrangtori.
As early as the week after next, production using the Black Slimes would kick off.
New Molrangtori had already passed tests, even got the HC mark.
Just produce, and sales would be fine.
Of course, civilian certification for New Molrangtori was another story...
'Research team will handle that.'
Molrangtori itself already had civilian cert.
So, just remove the battery function from New Molrangtori?
Word was, civilian certs for improved versions didn't take forever...
Even if research didn't yield results right away, no big loss.
Hired them for the long haul anyway.
'Feels like running a company sim now.'
Like I'd dumped all my points into R&D stats, which I hadn't cared about before.
Got the foundation solid—now learning to fight for real.
Practically there.
Molrangmol standing tall in the sky didn't seem far off.
Woo-ee!
"Okay. That's good right there."
Mini pulled a huge fridge out of the Molrangtori.
Top-of-the-line model loaded with all sorts of features.
Everything here, including that, was purely for factory workers' welfare.
Experience showed top welfare meant top efficiency.
Plus, it built some loyalty to the company.
Salaries were solid too—no complaints on reviews.
Woo-ee!
"Mini, that's enough. Let's head out."
Finished the break room setup, moved to the main factory area.
"Kids! Gather up!"
Seo-jin was there, trying to wrangle the swarm of Black Slimes.
He swung the stick in his hand—
Pororong!
The Black Slimes moved in sync.
Special stick made mixing Kami's magic power and whatnot.
Master the technique, and you could handle them decently.
"How's it going? Working well?"
"Was tricky at first... but I'm getting the hang of it now."
"No issues for production then?"
Seo-jin just flashed a thumbs-up instead of answering.
He'd oversee production. Train the new 10 hires and 5 Mini golems too.
Guy was so diligent—could trust him with the factory.
The initial 10 hires were picked with max input from him.
Not for nothing he was a solo-play lover.
Loved solo—meant he'd been burned by group projects.
So he'd recommend people who'd handle things solo just fine.
Of course, one potential snag.
"But you sure you're okay with this? Not in Seoul. Gates'll be rarer."
Seo-jin loved gate runs.
Hit 'em 3 times a week religiously. Most of Molrangmol's hunter records were his.
"Gates around here too, right?"
"Just low-tier stuff."
"It's fine. Gotta do what I can. I haven't helped Molrangmol much anyway."
What was that?
His viral push was the bedrock of Molrangmol's rise.
I got it, though.
Ha-young handled mana stone processing for monsters.
Jin-ah managed Molrangmol gallery and servers.
They had fixed roles, but Seo-jin was different.
Usually gate-running, jumping in when needed—like last time with the Molrang Park greenhouse.
So yeah, he probably loved getting a fixed position.
"...."
Damn, something tugged at my chest.
Tears of emotion? Nah, not quite.
Man, my eye for people is spot on.
All so loyal to Molrangmol. Let's go forever.
"Take care of me going forward?"
"You too."
**
Molrangmol's lab.
Well, facilities not built yet—so borrowing Baekya Castle's lab for now.
"Let's see...."
Seo-ha was deep in thought, grinding away.
"If I mix this guy in here, separation should work."
She had a hypothesis formed in her head. Time to test it quick.
Ziiing!
Not as advanced as Hwaryeon's, but pretty modern gear hummed to life.
"Not this one? Okay, try this way...."
As Seo-ha bustled around, her ID badge swung wildly on its lanyard.
[Molrangmol Research Team Lead - Baek Seo-ha]
One month ago, she'd gotten the pass notice.
Top of the list, no less.
Fruit of smashing that pressure interview.
Choice was hers now.
Of course, during the interview—
'I want to bury my bones at Molrangmol!'
—bold as brass, that was her.
But once passed, staying or going was up to her.
So she weighed her options.
Stay at Hwaryeon? Or jump ship?
Pure salary? Hwaryeon edged it out.
Molrangmol matched as best they could, but still a bit short.
But their perks? Killer.
[Employee Welfare (During Tenure)]
*50% employee discount on all Molrangmol products.
*Molrangmol Membership VVIP benefits.
*Molrang Park tickets & all special experiences free (up to 3 companions) + priority entry.
*1% mileage on all purchases at Baekya Castle.
*Full coverage for meals & medical (5-day workweek).
*Request additional welfare as needed.
'Too good to pass up.'
Thought Hwaryeon was generous, but Molrangmol made 'em look cheap.
No wonder the community buzzed about their welfare.
Reason Molrang Park staff all raved about it.
Especially Molrang Park perks hit home for her.
World's top landmark, free whenever? Rides and hot springs coming soon too?
Perfect for family filial duty.
So she committed to burying her bones at Molrangmol—
Ding!
—And dove into fervent research for results.
[Simulation Result: Combination Failed]
Still tricky, though.
What was wrong?
Shift the mana property conversion?
As she pondered tweaking the test—
"Think it'll be okay?"
Someone piped up.
[Molrangmol Senior Researcher - Lee Chan-seong]
"What now."
"You know... Hwaryeon sabotage or something."
"That scare you?"
"Hwaryeon's got that rep."
"Then why'd you come?"
The four researchers who'd followed her from Hwaryeon.
Her squad from HXZ days.
"Nah... it's great here."
Chan-seong's face was all smiles.
Never seen him so chill.
Looked like he'd just lounged in the break room.
Huge researcher lounge had a couple giant pudding slimes.
He'd requested them from Dr. Kisip—for welfare.
'So bold...'
Gen Z move?
Said they could request welfare, but actually doing it?
Not that I blamed her for not stopping it.
Giant pudding slime beds... heavenly bliss, the one true paradise.
No wonder #1 at Molrang Park.
"Anyway, work hard. Earn those perks."
"Hey, I'm the hardest worker here."
Couldn't deny that.
Chan-seong practically lived in the lab.
Nap 3 hours in lounge, pour the other 20+ into research.
Research got addictive, I guess.
Got it.
Porong!
Brand-new monsters.
Debut new tech from 'em.
Learning secrets straight from the creator? Heart-pounding stuff.
"Anyway, finish that sample compatibility check I asked for by end of day. Can do?"
"Easy."
Chan-seong headed back to his spot, so Seo-ha refocused.
But her concentration didn't last.
Ding-dong!
Unexpected guest at the lab.
'Who?'
Boss? No heads-up.
Oh, right.
Remembered—the scheduled visitor today.
Seo-ha opened the door right away.
"Hello!"
The drab space bloomed with brightness.
Happiness spread across every researcher's face, Seo-ha included.
Molrangmol's exclusive model, Han Sae-byeok, had dropped by the lab.
