The fact that it never touched the dwarves’ factory in the end.
“······Huh.”
The dwarves of the ‘factory’ entered the subspace awkwardly.
But they had no choice but to stop in their tracks because of the opponent they encountered.
‘······You’re a construction worker, right?’
Another dwarf, the craftsman Brok.
Although they were of the same dwarf race, their occupations were different, and so their tendencies were also different.
Even just looking at his behavior, it was like that.
‘Factory’ craftsman dwarves, draped in shabby overalls and jeans.
On the other hand, Brok was wearing a leather apron that had been neatly dusted off.
“······.”
An awkward encounter.
The dwarves in the factory were worried.
“Is it okay? I don’t think this is a joke······.”
“It would be better to just pretend not to see it······.”
These are two occupations that were also drawn, knowingly or unknowingly, on the mother planet.
Unlike producers who had a strong cooperative personality, craftsmen often had particularly fussy and isolated personalities.
At that moment, when I was about to start thinking about various things,
“······!?”
Cooper, who was at the forefront, was hugged by the craftsman Brok.
“You’ve had a hard time. It’s really nice to see my kind······.”
Brok patted her on the back and blinked.
While hanging out with his colleagues in the subspace, he too experienced some changes.
The dwarves of the factory were dumbfounded.
Brok calmly guided them.
“Follow me. I’ll tell you how to get around here.”
“Ah······!”
How to live.
The dwarves in the factory tensed up their throats when they heard those words.
Memories from the mother planet came back to them.
Craftsman dwarves who start holding hammers as soon as they can walk and are assigned to factories as soon as they become adults.
For them, the factories and dormitories were part of a fierce battlefield.
Like that······.
Thud thud.
Thirty factory dwarves followed the craftsman Brok.
‘This is our new workplace······.’
They felt like new employees who just started work today.
Even though the heavy fatigue that had accumulated over several days, or rather weeks, was weighing on their bodies, the dwarves stubbornly raised their heads and looked around.
Looking at the sky-high ceiling of the distribution center, the shelves of inventory lined up as if measured with a ruler, and the regularly arranged ventilation shafts, the dwarves all stuck out their tongues.
“It’s very well organized······. This place is definitely organized.”
“It’s also labeled by section. This will definitely increase efficiency.”
“If you look at the workflow so far······.”
Dwarves chatting away.
Their conclusion was clear.
“CEO Kim Jeong-gyeom······. He was a much more impressive man than he looked.”
“Designing a factory like this is not an easy task. I have to admit it.”
The fact that their employer was a more outstanding person than expected.
Looking at Brok walking ahead, the dwarves were filled with anticipation unknown to others.
“Should I put them on the work line now?”
“······Hey, what’s the work line for newbies like us? We’ll probably just sweep and clean the floor.”
The dwarves were already in the factory, thinking about working······.
The place that Brok guided them to was the shower room of the Armed Forces Signal Command.
“He told me to just wash up for a bit first.”
“······??”
“The toiletries here are quite convenient to use. If you put them up like this······.”
Swish.
These dwarves didn’t even know the concept of a hot shower.
A hot stream of water kneading between the tense muscles.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh······.”
“Auuuu······.”
The intense stimulation instantly melted away the fatigue on the dwarves’ shoulders.
“Now the next place is······.”
The dwarves washed their sweaty bodies clean.
The place they headed to with fluffy steps was a place called the ‘living room.’
“It was originally used by humans, but it’s empty now. I’ve laid out pillows and blankets, so everyone should get some sleep first.”
“······So, grow up?”
The dwarves were confused.
Although CEO Kim Jeong-gyeom had said that he would guarantee a break, I had no idea that it would happen this quickly.
Sigh.
Sigh.
The dwarves sat down on the beds one by one with awkward expressions.
Cloud-like, soft hotel-style mattresses to ease their weary weight.
“Ah······.”
It all seemed like a dream······.
Cooper clapped his hands as if he finally understood.
“I see. Is that the type of person who prioritizes work efficiency? It’s really trendy.”
“······Work efficiency?”
“Yes. Instead of letting them rest properly… when they actually work, they impose hellish workloads. In fact, this is the real way to squeeze people.”
“Ah······!”
Only then did the dwarves understand everything.
If this was also part of the job, then I could understand the intention of CEO Kim Jeong-gyeom, who gave him a break right away.
Cooper added one more thing.
“It’s obvious that you’ll have to control your sleep time. I guarantee you that after a few hours, you’ll be shaken awake and told to get up right away. Go to sleep quickly, and if you get a lot of sleep, you’ll be able to survive tomorrow.”
At Cooper’s plausible words, the dwarves also hurriedly got into their soft beds.
The fatigue from the past days washing over them like waves.
Slowly closing their eyes······.
‘CEO Kim Jeong-gyeom······.’
Cooper thought so.
‘······He really wasn’t such a pushy factory owner.’
“Get up quickly!”
How much time had passed?
The dwarves shook Cooper awake from his deep sleep.
“Huh······ Huh!”
Only then did he remember.
The fact that he came to Pax FC following CEO Kim Jeong-gyeom’s suggestion, and immediately washed up and went to bed.
After a short sleep, the headache that had been bothering him for a long time had completely disappeared.
Aside from that······.
“······See, am I right?”
Cooper smiled faintly, thinking that his prediction was correct.
But······.
“What the hell are you talking about? Get up quickly. You’re the last one to leave.”
“······Why are you all like that?”
“The sun is high in the sky. I’ve already slept for seventeen hours.”
“What? Ten····seventeen?”
He was the one whose hair had turned white.
In the factories on the mother planet, even a few minutes of oversleeping would be met with a reprimand.
So, what he discovered while he was hurriedly looking around······.
Step by step.
It was Pax FC’s CEO Kim Jeong-gyeom who was walking towards him.
“Huh, huh!”
He shut his eyes tightly.
His own employer.
He was the person who managed the large logistics center meticulously and meticulously.
It was clear that he would be held fully responsible for sleeping for seventeen hours straight from the first day.
But then he said something unexpected.
“Now that you’re up, let’s go eat.”
“······Rice?”
He led thirty dwarves without a care in the world.
The second-floor employee cafeteria of the Pax Fulfillment Center they arrived at.
When they opened the door and went in, they couldn’t help but be astonished at the sight that unfolded before their eyes.
“Oh my god!”
It was like a production line in a factory where they worked day and night······.
“······How can it smell like this?”
The items were completely different.
Dozens of different types of food lined up in a row.
Tongs and ladles were neatly placed in front of the piping hot food, and members of Pax FC, including the craftsman Brok whom they had met yesterday, were freely spreading out the food.
“The meal is buffet style, so you can eat as much as you want.”
“B···· Phew?”
It was the first time they had ever heard that.
To the dwarves who were tilting their heads, CEO Kim Jeong-gyeom distributed plates and utensils and explained in detail how to eat.
And then······.
“Yay! Dakgalbi today!”
He disappeared leisurely into the food, shouting with joy.
“What the heck······.”
The dwarves returned to their seats with their food in their hands, looking bewildered.
The table where they sat was where the craftsman Brok had been.
Cooper, unable to bear it any longer, asked Brok.
“When do you do that···· thing?”
“Work? You can do it whenever you want. Well, sometimes I get asked to do favors.”
“······!?”
It was a shock on multiple levels.
You only have to work when you want to.
And the representative is asking for the work.
“You can just do it whenever you want····? How can you call that work····.”
Pax FC’s working conditions were shocking in many ways, but······.
“Cooper, look at this!”
“What the heck···· Huh!”
As soon as he saw the giant beer mugs his colleagues were holding, all his complicated thoughts flew away.
“There’s an endless supply of beer from that machine! It’s endless!”
Beer.
That was the biggest reason why they missed the rough life on their mother planet.
It is now a mythical drink for the dwarves, a drink they could not even remember the taste of after being enslaved and wandering the universe for decades.
Cheeeee······.
Fresh bubbles rose above the cold beer.
Gulp.
Gulp.
When that cold beer poured down their throats like a waterfall······.
“Iced coffee······!”
“Hehehe!”
Tears that had been held back for decades burst out.
Cooper asks Brok, as if he is complaining about something, while bursting into tears.
“What the heck······! What on earth are you trying to make us do by doing this?”
“No, I’m not trying to make you do anything······.”
At the desperate cries of his compatriots, Brok added, as if embarrassed.
“······This is just male welfare.”
That night, the dwarves enjoyed a peaceful day.
Actually, they were moving around busily.
Because they were going out with Lee Yong-soo from time to time and moving towards the east.
Although they had taken over the ‘factory,’ one of the enemy’s major powers, the force that attacked Daesurim was only a part of the southern forces.
And…….
Suddenly, some news came to us.
“…Attracting investment?”
“Yes, it would be faster if you see it for yourself. Here…”
The person who brought the news was Glenn Ford, a priest and leader of the North.
He shared with us the message that came to him.
This is an announcement from the Multidimensional Chamber of Commerce.
Congratulations on your successful investment attraction.
The Chamber of Commerce has accepted your request for investment in your region and has selected ‘Mirkwood’ as the final investment as it is deemed most suitable for the current ‘America’ situation.
Next, we will inform you about our business plans in the ‘United States.’
After 7 days, limited movement of the ‘Mirkwood’ dimension into the ‘Washington D.C.’ area will be permitted.
※ For organizations requesting investment, profit distribution with the investment level and a separate brokerage fee will automatically be applied.
We wish your region endless development.
Multidimensional Chamber of Commerce Compensation.
Attracting investment.
Although it was a new economic term, its meaning was no different from usual.
They’re going to release the monsters again.
In response to the Chamber of Commerce’s sudden ultimatum, Glenn Ford added:
“It must be the work of the Southerners. The front lines have been deadlocked recently in Washington. And now they’ve even taken over the factory…”
This was something that could be confirmed in the Chamber of Commerce’s message.
Invaders coming from outside.
But the one who summoned them was none other than an Earth-dimensional being.
“They must have been anxious too. But I didn’t know they would drag them into another dimension…”
The time given by the Chamber of Commerce was one week.
However, starting with this message, the war accelerated even further.
“All the Southern troops spread across the United States are gathering in the Northeast. They plan to attack Washington with the monsters.”
Washington is a symbol of America.
The first thing they want to do is plant the flag of invasion there.
First, we had to reach Washington and block their entry, but…
The problem was the power of ‘Mirkwood’ that would arrive a week later.
“What dimension is Mirkwood in?”
“I heard that it’s a dimension made up of beast races. They say they have strong regenerative powers… More importantly, it’s the 6th tier…!”
Glenn Ford bit his lip in impatience.
6th tier.
It was a powerful enemy that had never been seen or heard of before.
This time, it seemed like the Chamber of Commerce was trying to give the South a real push.
One side…
‘…Will this work?’
It was a concern for me too.
Most of my main firearms are level 4.
I was able to handle up to the 7th level without much difficulty, but I wasn’t sure if I could handle the 6th level.
Of course, there was a way.
The dwarves of ‘Factory’ are now part of Pax FC.
If Broke’s words were true, they could help create a 5-power weapon.
But…
‘…I feel a little bad about making them do it in just one day.’
The image of the dwarves I had seen at the ‘Factory’ was still vivid in my mind.
The appearance of the dwarves, with their eyes glaring as if they would collapse at any moment, was so faint.
Because it was my intention to give them as much rest as possible.
But…
Bam!
That was when.
Someone burst open the conference room door and came in.
“…Cooper?”
It was a sure thing.
Because he was a dwarf at the factory where ‘labor-management negotiations’ were taking place.
There was no time to ask what was happening.
Because Cooper opened his mouth all of a sudden.
And…
“CEO Kim Jeong-gyeom!”
“…?”
I didn’t expect this.
Sometimes, the lack of work becomes a problem for office workers.
“I’m going crazy…! Please give me some work to do!”
