Chapter Title: Eye Stamp Slam! 1-Year Recap
-----------------------------------------------------------------
600kg.
Roughly the weight of a polar bear.
It was the amount of dragon tail meat prepared for today's event.
Molrang Park planned to sell it in two types: 'skewers' and 'whole cuts', but for today, we decided to hand out only skewers.
‘That way, we can give it to as many people as possible.’
A single chicken skewer uses 80-100g of chicken.
We originally planned to sell them at 100g per skewer, and that's how we intended to make them today too...
[Today’s Visitors: 13,201]
‘I didn’t expect this many people.’
In the end, we halved the portions to make 12,000 skewers.
Those who didn’t get any... well, tough luck.
We’re offering free tasting samples, after all—no complaints allowed.
Do you have any idea how much this is worth?
600kg comes out to a whopping 720 million won.
For reference, 720 million won is...
One-third of the lifetime earnings of a non-Awakened (2 billion won).
Half of the average lottery jackpot take-home amount.
Enough to buy 48 Molrangtex units outright.
Even for me, someone who makes good money, it’s not an amount I’d throw around lightly.
‘But hey... it’s an investment.’
If I tried pushing sales here, I’d just end up eating shit from everyone.
At 50g per skewer, I’d have to charge 60,000 won each.
Even in this hunter-era high-price world people have adapted to, demanding 60,000 won out of nowhere would get me stoned.
Hype up expectations and then take money?
I’d be lucky not to get pelted with rocks.
So today, it’s free.
And this is basically a drug. A terrifying poison that’ll addict people to Molrangmol.
I guarantee it: there are people who haven’t eaten dragon meat, but there are none who’ve eaten it just once.
Everyone who tastes it today will definitely come back to Molrang Park. And as they brag to others, the viral spread will happen naturally.
This is proper marketing strategy.
Sizzle...
Lost in these thoughts, the meat was soon perfectly grilled and mouthwatering.
“Hyap!”
Like a seasoned assistant chef’s demo, I swiftly and flawlessly produced ten skewers with a flashy chop-chop!
All that attribute practice paid off. Countless skewers went down the drain just perfecting this performance.
Of course, the failed ones were all gobbled up by the monsters, so no big loss.
Swish.
I picked up the best-looking one out of the ten.
Next, I flashed the brightest smile of the year. With eyes sparkling as much as possible, I toddled forward.
‘Good thing she hasn’t left.’
My one goal:
The big shot who’d been quietly attending the event.
She seemed to notice me approaching and slightly raised the corner of her mouth.
The Hunter Association President.
Former S-Rank Hunter, now fully retired from active duty.
Her name was... what was it again?
I see her on the news all the time, but my mind’s blanking.
Anyway.
“Eut... cha!”
I hopped down cutely from the somewhat high stage with a dainty landing, then handed a dragon skewer straight to the president.
“Enjoy!”
Mixing in a voice cute enough to not sound like me at all. This oughta be enough appeal, right?
“Sure. Thanks.”
The president gave a generous smile, glanced me over, and took the skewer.
After that, no need to say more. Dragon meat is the world’s tastiest, and my cuteness speaks for itself—talking about it just tires the mouth.
“It’s delicious. Feels even tastier since you made it.”
As expected—eye stamp slammed!
First impressions are key when meeting someone, right?
Molrangmol’s first impression on the Hunter Association? A perfect 1,000 out of 100.
Not just the Association—same for everyone else.
Today’s audience, mostly civilians.
The euphoria from the flashy show, combined with dragon meat, delivered heavenly bliss.
Mission accomplished perfectly.
That one drop of poison injected today will spread far and wide, eventually turning all of Korea into Molrangmol customers.
“Mu-hu-hu...”
Can’t hold back the grin.
“What’s so funny?”
“Ah, nothing. Come visit again next time!”

“Fwaaahhh...”
Pure bliss. Bliss.
If something like super-bliss exists in this world, it’s gotta be this moment.
1 a.m., back in the rooftop room after the Gwanghwamun event. For growth’s sake, I should crash immediately, but...
“Tonight calls for a little indulgence... hehe...”
Wisdom of the sages: rest two days after seven straight. Here to unwind.
Right into the hot springs newly set up on the opposite side of Molrang Park!
Real hot spring water, folks.
Not just hot water—it clings slickly to your skin, sucking out every bit of fatigue like magic.
So warm and fuzzy, head spinning.
Mind melting away; can’t tell if this is heaven or the real world.
“Huuu...”
Truth is, I was never a hot springs person.
Folks who get it will get it: soaking in hot water feels suffocating, right?
I don’t sweat much either, so it just built up heat uselessly.
But this place is different!
Whoooosh...!
The ever-constant -10°C winter chill coolly embraces my upper body peeking out.
Hot spring steam meets winter cold—perfection. Fluffy snow falling, aurora glowing? Pure paradise.
Molrang!
And with Molrang on my head instead of a towel regulating my temp, no exaggeration—I could stay forever.
Late but perfect white Christmas!
Of course, even this dreamy soak had one tiny flaw.
“...No booze.”
In a hot spring like this, sake floating around? That’s the romance...
Times like this, being a girl feels a tad regrettable.
Chiiiip... clink!
Ended up settling with ice-cold cola floater.
“Kuh...!”
Eh, this works fine too.
Savoring the crisp, thrilling gulp, my fuzzy mind cleared right up.
Which sparked business thoughts unbidden.
‘How much for hot spring admission?’
Just for the springs themselves.
Personally, 30,000 won, plus selling snacks on the side.
Quantum suggested building a hot spring resort...
‘Tempting.’
Molrang Park’s spot is solid bedrock, but this line? Dig and springs gush.
Keeping just men’s and women’s baths is a waste.
“Ah, whatever.”
Later for later. Now’s time to review achievements, not dream.
Tap-tap.
Grabbed the smartphone nearby. Thanks to that water... fish monster, it’s fully waterproof—even submerged in hot spring water, no issue.
Squeeze.
Fiddled into the accounting app Jinah made. Nothing complex—just tracks net profits simply.
Wonder how much December raked in.
Squeeze.

Kyaa!
Just looking gives electric thrills, body shuddering.
A cool 10 billion in a month. 10 billion.
Back when monthly billion felt dreamy, now monthly 10 billion.
Rubbed my eyes over this unbelievable number, but it stayed the same.
Sure, taxes’ll eat more around May, shrinking it...
But yearly? Hits 100 billion easy.
Means Molrangmol’s solidly mid-tier corp now. Insane for just months of work.
‘Road’s long still.’
Looked it up: legal large corp needs 5 trillion in assets.
Distant, yet weirdly within reach.
‘Customer base secured solid, at least.’
Over 20k membership holders—huge win.
Mostly hunters now, but Molrang Park opens? Civilians flood in.
Aim for 1 mil by next year.
Hwayeon’s got 5 mil members.
Shinwol’s masterpiece dominating food/cafe scenes: 10 mil.
Hunter Gallery, basically a monopoly shopping site: 20 mil.
Surpassing all three? My dream.
Slowest start, but fastest acceleration—guaranteed.
‘With JH partnership... snagging overseas customers way easier.’
Okay.
Long-term life fuel locked in.
Now just set small goals and charge ahead.
“Hwaaaah!”
Big stretch, then eyes closed, pondering.
Molrang Park opening Lunar New Year.
Train monsters for it, prep dragon meat and claws steady.
Ramp up Molrangtex production once overseas sales start.
And finally.
“Gotta make at least one.”
The new Molrangmol item I planned for when things eased up.
This time, pure essence of luxury—for VVIPs only.
We’re a gear maker/seller...
Splash!
“Gotta sell at least one top-tier piece!”
