The moment I opened the status window from the corpse of the hulking man with a crushed head and checked the trait information, I transferred "Gigolo (lv.1)" to me through storage before I could even finish reading it.

Thanks to that, I used up all the points I had saved to raise the level of "Special Iron Man (lv.3)", but I had no regrets.

'How can I resist when it says my dick will get bigger?'

As a man, it was impossible to resist. Even though there was an effect that would take damage instead, I could tolerate that much for my pride in my dick.

'Should I transfer "Brawler (lv.1)" too? The grade is low, but it's better than nothing, right?'

Since it was N grade, there didn't seem to be a need to take it out, but it only cost 1p, and it would be better than nothing, so I decided to just move it to storage.

『Kang Woori』

Skills: "Hacking"

Traits: "Clairvoyance (lv.2)" / "Gigolo (lv.1)" / "Special Iron Man (lv.3)"

"Hacking"

▷ Access to entity trait data

▷ Current packet: 0.84p

▷ Storage (3/5): "Agoraphobia (lv.1)" / "Cold-Blooded (lv.3)" / "Brawler (lv.1)"

The points dropped back to the 0p range, but a satisfied smile leaked out as I looked at the status window. I couldn't help but think about how big my dick would get when "Gigolo (lv.1)" leveled up. It already felt a little heavier.

"Ugh..."

At that moment, Ji Wihan, who had fainted, made a groan. He held his head for a moment and then looked up sharply as if he remembered why he had fainted.

"Mr. Kang Woori! Are you okay?"

"Yes, as you can see."

"That man, ah..."

Ji Wihan belatedly discovered the crushed-headed hunk and let out a short exclamation. Judging by the deep frown, he didn't seem to be immune to seeing human corpses.

'He must have been staying at home since D-Day, so it's understandable.'

I had seen countless zombie corpses and human corpses when I had "Cold-Blooded (lv.3)", so I could now pass it off without a problem, but it would be difficult for Ji Wihan to do so.

"I need to clean up the blood before it hardens."

"Pardon?"

"If the blood that seeps into the tile gaps hardens, it will be difficult to wipe off. I think we should wipe it off quickly before it hardens."

"..."

He must just not like the house being dirty.

Ji Wihan stumbled, unable to fully control his body yet, but he insisted on going to the utility room and brought out a mop and bleach. He even had mismatched pink rubber gloves on his hands.

At Ji Wihan's sincere request, I had to take the hunk's corpse outside and throw it away, then wash myself again as soon as I got back.

After washing and changing into new clothes, the floor was clean as if there had never been a pool of blood, as if he had already finished cleaning.

"Thank you for your hard work. And I'm sorry for not being helpful."

"It happens."

"I thought I could easily surround and fight if I lured them in, but the opponent was more skilled at fighting than I expected."

"..."

I barely managed to resist saying that you seemed more unskilled at fighting than expected.

"As a result, it seems I unnecessarily provoked him. I will be careful in the future."

"Do you have to be good at everything? Let's each do what we're good at."

"It's not time to divide our specialties yet. Since it's a world where unforeseen events can happen at any time, I also need to have at least a minimum level of survivability."

"Well, that's true. Shall I raise the level of "Leader (lv.1)" for you?"

"Thank you for the offer, but it is more efficient for Mr. Kang Woori to become stronger using the rooftop to hunt zombies. Please ask me when you have extra points."

Even if there is an overall better method, it is not easy to bear the disadvantage, but Ji Wihan was not like that. He thought thoroughly about efficiency.

I wondered if that was why he had "Self-Interest (lv.3)".

Anyway, a week passed with Ji Wihan drawing up a household and future roadmap, and me occasionally going up to the roof and rampaging.

There weren't many zombie corpses around the building. There were even fewer than when I was hunting zombies in front of the officetel.

This was because when you took the core out of a zombie corpse, the zombie corpse melted into the mist and disappeared before a day had passed.

If I had known that when I was hunting in front of the officetel, I wouldn't have had to go through all that trouble, but it was a fact that you couldn't know unless you split open a zombie corpse.

Of course, I didn't know the reason why. I just took it as it was.

Bang─

I smashed the head of the last zombie writhing on the floor, finishing today's hunt, and went into the hunk's house to wash up. I always felt sorry that Ji Wihan would glare and wipe up the blood whenever I returned from hunting, so I started washing in the empty next-door house from the second day.

The hunk must have really been doing gigolo work, as his house was full of advertisements for prostitution businesses, women's underwear, feminine hygiene products, and so on. And there were quite a few adult products as well. Not only for women, but even male masturbation devices.

I was curious, and since I hadn't had sex with the woman on the second floor for a while, I tried using one once, but it wasn't as good as real sex, so I was disappointed. But it was better than using my hand, so I tried using it a few more times.

For the record, there was no one in this building. I went up because I hadn't heard any signs of people, and I could see an old couple lying side by side in bed, having chosen eternal sleep. Since Ji Wihan said that the last time he saw them was around when I first came here, I figured that they must have seen the horde of zombies and realized that the world was over and made that choice.

Instead of living miserably with their old bodies, ending their lives comfortably in bed might have been more rational in a way. Of course, I had too much life left to even consider that.

The hunk was big, but he was shorter than Ji Wihan, so the hunk's clothes were more comfortable for me. After washing and changing into the hunk's clothes, I returned to Ji Wihan's house and buried myself in the cushiony sofa, opening the status window.

That was all I could do, really. It wasn't like I had tried the masturbation device for no reason.

The water and electricity were still on, but the wireless network had been cut off after not even lasting half a month. I used the phone line to connect to the internet and found out that some areas still had it, but many places had been cut off. Unfortunately, Seongdong-gu was one of them.

I was grateful that the electricity and water hadn't been cut off, and I focused on the translucent letters that appeared in front of me.

『Kang Woori』

Skills: "Hacking"

Traits: "Clairvoyance (lv.3)" / "Gigolo (lv.2)" / "Special Iron Man (lv.6)"

In the meantime, I was able to raise "Clairvoyance (lv.2)" and "Gigolo (lv.1)" by 1 level each, and "Special Iron Man (lv.3)" by 3 levels while auto-hunting. The points spent on that alone were 37p, a whopping 740 zombies worth of points.

That was the result of catching at least 100 zombies a day.

In that way, I earned points and raised the trait levels of different grades, and I was able to see how the necessary points were calculated.

It took twice the current level to "change the level" for R grade, three times for SR grade, and four times the points for SSR grade.

To raise the level of the current "Clairvoyance (lv.3)", it would take 12p, just like "Special Iron Man (lv.6)".

As a result, I naturally had no choice but to focus on raising the level of "Special Iron Man (lv.3)". Physical ability was more important when it came to hunting zombies.

For reference, I was also able to confirm the penis enlargement effect of "Gigolo (lv.2)". I, who used to have a small penis of 11cm when fully erect, had become an average penis of 13cm when fully erect.

It wasn't an exact figure, but it was a satisfactory figure as long as it steadily increased by 1cm per level like now. With this rate of growth, if I reached level 10, I could become a self-proclaimed and publicly recognized big dick of 21cm.

It was difficult to resist the urge to level up "Gigolo (lv.2)" to level 10.

And one more important fact that I newly learned.

"Brawler (lv.1)" [N]

☐ Physical ability +7.5%

☐ Damage dealt +2.5%

☒ Upon reaching lv.10, can be upgraded to "Special Brawler (lv.1)" [R+] using a low-grade evolution stone.

▶ Level change: 1p

▶ Transfer to 『Kang Woori』: Cannot overlap

▶ Transfer to 『Ji Wihan』: Cannot overlap

▶ Delete: 0.5p

The fact was that traits that increase physical ability as a whole cannot be possessed at the same time.

This was verified by taking Ji Wihan's "Leader (lv.1)" out of storage and cross-checking. When "Leader (lv.1)" was removed, "1p" appeared instead of "Cannot overlap", but when I put "Leader (lv.1)" back in, I confirmed that "Cannot overlap" appeared again.

I wasted a whopping 4p taking "Leader (lv.1)" out and putting it back in, but it was a worthwhile experiment. I realized that I should choose and raise the physical ability increase trait carefully, instead of just raising it blindly.

For now, the grade, level, and increase of "Special Iron Man (lv.3)" are the highest, and I feel that reducing damage received is more attractive than increasing damage dealt, so I am just keeping it as it is, but I might have to change it later if I find a better physical ability increase trait.

'Thinking about it that way, it's a waste of points. Would it be better if it just didn't come out?'

I was just thinking about this and that while enjoying the comfort of the sofa.

"Mr. Kang Woori."

Ji Wihan came down from the study on the second floor and called out to me, who was stretched out comfortably.

Ji Wihan still looked as neat as if it were before D-Day, even though it had been more than half a month since the zombies appeared and started rampaging.

But his expression was different today. Unlike the previous times when he was always calm like a machine, his face was dark.

"Yes. What's wrong?"

"I think we have to leave this place."

"Pardon? You said we should build up our strength here."

"I'm sorry. But even if the plan is brought forward, I have judged that I must leave now."

Something must have happened.
