Chapter 97

The small items will be turned by "Hot Hand."

I was thinking about what kind of meal to treat the people who worked so hard.

"Already finished?"

"Yeah."

The move was abruptly halted around 10 AM.

I had no choice but to serve the orange juice I had prepared in advance by converting it with "Quality Conversion."

"Phew!"

"Unbelievable, just unbelievable."

"Did you put whole oranges in it? How can it taste like this?"

After sending them off, I looked around the living room again.

It was too wide, front and back.

The ceiling was too high.

It felt like a squash court.

"Ugh......"

When I opened the ventilation window next to the kitchen, the strong wind slapped my cheeks mercilessly.

"Phew."

Is this the smell of success?

"Really went crazy......"

I lay down on the floor.

Then, a new view caught my eye.

It was a sky view.

"Blue......"

The large windows allowed a clear view of the blue sky without any buildings blocking it, just by lying down.

'To think such a house exists.'

This is really my house.

It was hard to believe.

I felt I could live happily in this house for the rest of my life. Just lying around and rolling around made me feel so at ease.

Then, I thought about my family.

How much would Mom, Dad, and Yujin enjoy living in such a house? I felt a bit guilty for enjoying it alone.

'After the auction...... let’s look for a house in Daejeon.'

Mom and Dad don't want to move to Daejeon, so the best option would be to find the nicest house nearby.

'Thank you, Grandma......'

However, the midday leisure didn't last long.

A rush of appliance and furniture deliveries followed.

It took more effort than expected.

"Sure, just put it over here."

Anyway, the house was spacious.

For items like TVs, air purifiers, and dehumidifiers, I could just place them anywhere, but for the wash tower, the delivery people had to install it.

Meanwhile, large furniture items arrived.

I had ordered them to be turned by "Hot Hand," so the quantity itself was quite large.

"Oh, why did you order 5 mattresses?"

"Yeah, hahaha......"

"Is it because the house is big? Anyway, where should we put them, one in each room?"

"No, just stack them in one corner."

Beds are a luxury.

I had ordered five full sets of sofas, which almost took over the living room.

But it was surprisingly pleasing.

The sofas lined up along the living room windows made it feel like there was no need for a separate viewing deck.

"Sit anywhere, it's so good."

I thought about using it as is, but I couldn't.

After all, I had spent a fortune on five sets; I wanted to get the best sofa out of them.

"Tam, eat the mattresses! Coco, stand by for a moment."

At my command, the two foxes flew so fast they were almost invisible.

'......How can they be so fast?'

I only noticed their movements by the trails they left behind. If I hadn't, I would have wondered what just passed by.

'I should have done this earlier!'

By delegating the task to Tam and Coco, the work speed increased several times.

Perhaps because of this.

"The heat of the hands on the workbench rises even higher!"

"Remaining time: 8 minutes 51 seconds"

It felt like more than 10 seconds had passed.

The duration of "Hot Hand" was actually flowing slower than reality.

'Great, let's keep going!'

The work continued smoothly and intensely.

I alternated between giving Tam and Coco the beds and sofas.

Messages kept popping up, and either one high-quality item or several low-quality items would appear.

Each time I repeated the cycle, the grade of the beds and sofas gradually improved.

A few minutes later.

"The 'Quantity to Quality Conversion' begins."

"The 'Hot Hand' effect applies an incredible bonus efficiency!"

"The 'Preview' skill is activated!"

"A. Swedish Duxiana: DEX 9009 (K)"

Finally, it appeared in the preview.

One of the four world-renowned luxury bed brands.

And it was the brand that Steven Spielberg and DiCaprio had several of.

"Hey! Option A!"

At my shout, a white mattress popped out from Tam's magic circle and landed on the living room floor.

It didn't look much different from other mattresses.

However, it was much higher and thicker than a regular mattress, and the embossing was deeper.

'Let's try lying down.'

They say you should lie on a bed for a long time before buying it, but I didn't have that luxury. Every minute and second counted.

I paused the work and threw myself onto the bed.

"Whoa!"

My body bounced up and then sank softly.

'What is this? A trampoline?'

It was a sensation I had never experienced before.

The mattress had the elasticity of a trampoline, but it wasn't forced; it felt like it was supporting my body well from below.

Is this what a real spring is like!

Is this what a real bed is like!

However, there was a point to consider.

'Hmm......'

I had a dream of a bed that would envelop my entire body in softness.

A too-firm mattress wasn't my style.

It wasn't a perfect 100 out of 100, but it was very satisfying.

'Since I'm making it, should I make it the best? Or just use it?'

It was already a very good bed.

And a firm mattress is good for health.

"The heat of the hands is cooling down."

"Remaining time: 3 minutes 57 seconds"

The fever time was quickly running out while I was lying down.

'Damn!'

I also needed to sit on the sofa and make the audio system. There was no time to think.

Let's make it the best since we're making it.

If time runs out, I'll figure out the audio system later.

"Coco, eat this quickly!"

I decided to give up on this one and try the cycle again.

"The 'Quality to Quantity Conversion' is complete."

And soon, 10 more mattresses popped out.

"Tam, no time! Eat this!"

Tam greedily ate the 10 mattresses.

The orange magic circle flickered and spun quickly.

"The 'Quantity to Quality Conversion' begins."

"The 'Hot Hand' effect applies an incredible bonus efficiency!"

For a moment, I prayed.

Please, let the best bed come out.

And then.

"The 'Preview' skill is activated!"

"A. Swedish Duxiana: Exclusive (K)"

"B. British Somnus: Monarch Supreme (K)"

"C. Swedish Heritance: Grand Bebeders (K)"

"Unbelievable!"

The options that appeared in the preview were all products from the four major luxury brands. Moreover, each model name was something I knew.

Why? Because they were the top models of each brand.

The Somnus Monarch Supreme.

It was the bed used by Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom.

The Heritance Grand Bebeders.

It was the bed used by David Beckham and the Swedish royal family.

I thought it would be great if one of these models came out, but I never imagined they would all appear at once.

'Unbelievable, unbelievable......'

However, there was a problem.

I couldn't try them all.

"The heat of the hands is cooling down."

"Remaining time: 2 minutes 48 seconds"

The longer I hesitated, the faster the "Hot Hand" duration would run out.

I immediately chose one option.

"Option B! The Somnus one!"

There was only one reason.

'How long has Queen Elizabeth lived?'

Elizabeth II was born in 1947.

Born before the Korean War, she was almost 100 years old. While rulers of other countries changed frequently, she had been a symbol of longevity, guarding the royal family for 70 years.

'Good sleep leads to good health and longevity.'

There was no room for hesitation.

I decided to use what the Queen used.

"The 'Quantity to Quality Conversion' is complete."

Soon, a thick, pure white mattress appeared from the orange magic circle.

'Phew......'

I wanted to lie down immediately, but I couldn't afford the time.

The fever time was down to just 2 minutes.

"Tam and Coco, hang in there! Let's finish the sofa properly!"

The sofa was almost at the final stage.

I pushed the cycle to the limit and started the audio system simultaneously.

"The heat of the hands is cooling down."

"Remaining time: 0 minutes 17 seconds"

Finally, a sofa from the Franco brand appeared at the end of the work.

"Wait...... is this really a sofa?"

It was clearly not of ordinary quality.

First, the material was leather, but it didn't look like leather.

It was so soft and delicate that I would have mistaken it for fabric until I got closer.

'How can this be leather?'

It was completely different from the cool and stiff feeling I usually associate with leather sofas.

Moreover, the color was very pleasing.

It was a warm gray, not a heavy or dull gray.

A color somewhere between white pebbles and a salt beach.

A color that would go well with any interior.

The size was also overwhelming.

The long side of the 'L'-shaped sofa was about 5 meters.

The seat was wide enough to be used as a bed.

'Too good......'

I wanted to sit on the sofa right away because it was so satisfying.

But I couldn't waste the last 10 seconds.

If the fever time ended during Coco's turn, the audio sets would be left unused.

'Focus until the end.'

I finished the work with 3 seconds left.

"The 'Quantity to Quality Conversion' is complete."

Two identical speakers fell from the air.

They had a design that looked like they belonged in a spaceship, similar to an observer in StarCraft.

The preview said it was something like the Drualen Phantom Gold.

I'm not an audio expert, so I couldn't judge the sound quality.

I was worried about getting pillar-like speakers, but they were about the size of a soccer ball, making them suitable for indoor use.

Finally, a sense of relief washed over me.

"Phew......"

It was only about 9 minutes, but giving continuous commands without a break made me feel drained.

I hadn't even had lunch since the move started in the morning, which made it worse.

'Let's take a short break.'

I sat down without thinking.

But then.

'What is this?'

I had inadvertently sat on the sofa I had just made.

"Wow......"
