Chapter 620: Hehehe. I don’t negotiate with sunfish.
TL: Hanguk
“Puhuhut. If the Golden Tower becomes a Great Tower, Yuto and Marine’s votes will increase the vote count by one each, and if we also secure the Legendary Merchants of the Silver Tower and the Brown Tower…”
While Theo, who had received permission from Crisella and Grave to stamp the Legendary Merchants of the Silver Tower and Brown Tower if they succeeded in growing the Great Tower, was excitedly calculating impeachment votes,
-Sejun, this is the condition for our Silver Tower’s Great Tower growth.
“Yes.”
Sejun checked the Great Silver Tower growth conditions on the paper Crisella had given him.
[Great Silver Tower Growth Conditions (1/8)]
-Tower Farmer (B): Achieved
-Creating more than five new crop varieties: Not achieved (0/1)
-Weakening the Tower’s Wind by more than 50%: Not achieved (35%)-Growing three World Trees: Not achieved (1 (Pose)/3)
-Securing more than 10,000 pieces of the World’s Energy: Not achieved
-Possessing seven Divine Relics: Not achieved (0/7)
-Achieving three great feats: Achieved (2/3)
-Increasing the entrances to the Purple Tower to 120: Not achieved (85/120)
“Hmm.”
Just one…
Out of eight conditions, only one had been achieved.
Moreover, most of the other conditions were barely progressed.
A far worse situation than with the Great Purple Tower.
“The situation is really bad.”
Sejun candidly told Crisella.
-Sejun, you’re not thinking of giving up, are you?
Crisella worried that Sejun might abandon the request.
However,
“Come on. Giving up? That word doesn’t exist in my dictionary.”
Though Sejun was a sunfish, his persistence was strong.
“But I’ll need more sincerity.”
He was also extremely money-minded.
“Puhuhut. Crisella-nim, show more sincerity, meow!”
Excited by Sejun’s words, Theo also demanded money.
-Understood.
Crisella hurriedly prepared the money and handed it to Sejun.
“Hehehe. Thank you. Then, let’s start right away. Vice Chairman Theo, give me eight Divine Relics.”
Sejun requested Divine Relics from Theo.
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!”
Gods, our great hybrid Chairman Park needs eight Divine Relics, meow! Hurry up and hand them over, meow!
Thus, Sejun’s request was relayed through Theo via the full-time employee communication network.
[A priority emergency quest for eight Divine Relics from Sejun Company’s Vice Chairman, Park Theo, has been issued.][<Manager> Seed Shop Headquarters, God of Battle, Battler: Uhaha! First place!]
[<Manager> Hel’s Pawnshop, God of Merchants, Hel: Ah! My first place!]
[<Manager> Combat Shop Headquarters, God of Spears, Spi: Third place!]
…
..
.
[The priority emergency quest for eight Divine Relics from Sejun Company’s Vice Chairman, Park Theo, has been closed.]
The gods swiftly sent eight Divine Relics to Theo.
And,
[<Manager> Seed Shop Headquarters, God of Sprouts, Bud: I failed again ㅜㅜ]Bud failed once more today because he was distracted.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, here you go, meow!”
When Theo handed the eight Divine Relics to Sejun,
“Crisella-nim, here.”
Sejun passed the eight Divine Relics to Crisella.
“Then, does this mean possessing seven Divine Relics is overachieved?”
Nod.
At Sejun’s question, Crisella nodded.
“Already?”
“This easily?”
Artemis and Grave, who had been watching, were amazed at Sejun’s capability.
In such a short time, Sejun had overachieved one of the Great Tower growth conditions.
“Next…”
He looked at the paper and pondered, then said,
“That’s it for today. The rest will take some time.”
He dismissed the dragons.
Then, he headed toward the dimensional portal that connected to <Earthworm>.
“Follow me in a bit.”
Sejun left his party behind and entered <Earthworm> first.
“Hey guys, hello.”
He greeted the three newly arrived Destruction Sejuns. Only seven of the previous Destruction Sejuns remained.
The other eight had turned into eight drops of Tears of the Incomplete Creator God.
Kya-kya!
One of the Destruction Devourers handed Sejun the eight drops of tears it had been holding on its leaf.
“Thanks. Here you go.”
As soon as Sejun received the tears, he sent them to Emila.
[You have completed the quest 8 times.][You have obtained 40 drops of the Great Growth Elixir as a quest completion reward.]
He received the reward.
Adding one more drop to the two he had planned to give earlier…
While Sejun was calculating the elixirs to feed his companions,
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I missed you, meow!”
Kueng!
Kking!
His companions crossed the dimensional portal and joined Sejun.
“Alright. Vice Chairman Theo, open your mouth first.”
The elixir is going in.
Sejun tried to feed Theo the elixir first, But,
“Puhuhut. The weak Chairman Park should drink it instead, meow!”
Theo refused, his expression clearly indicating he would not back down.
It was vaguely, no, just blatantly offensive.
I’ll definitely make you drink it!
Sejun who got angry at being disrespected.
“Haha. If you drink this, I’ll extend your exclusive knee rights by a week.”
Could he refuse this offer?
Sejun tempted Theo with his ultimate move.
“Meow?! Hurry and give it to me, meow! My mouth is open, meow!”
Theo immediately gave in to the exclusive knee rights that no one else coveted and opened his mouth.
Haha. You were going to drink it anyway…
Drip. Drip. Drip.
With a victorious look, Sejun dropped three drops of the Great Growth Elixir into Theo’s mouth.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, then how long can I, Vice Chairman Theo, monopolize your knees now, meow?!”
Theo, having swallowed the elixir, asked Sejun.
“Since I added another week, it’s now 10 years, 8 months, and 24 days.”
Sejun calculated the period and gave an answer.
Theo had been steadily accumulating his exclusive knee time, and the total had grown considerably.
“Puhuhut. I’m so happy, meow!”
At Sejun’s answer, Theo clung to Sejun’s knees with a blissful expression.
“Alright. Now it’s Cuengi’s turn.”
When Sejun turned to his next target,
Kueng! Kueng!
[Cuengi is fine, Dad should drink it instead!]
Like a true filial child, Cuengi tried to yield the Great Growth Elixir to the weaker Sejun.
Cuengi won’t fall for it like Big Brother did!
Having just seen Theo succumb to Sejun’s trick, Cuengi steeled his resolve even more.
“Dad has his own share to drink. So, Cuengi, you should drink, too.”
Sejun tried to persuade Cuengi again, But,
Kueng! Kueng! Kueng!
[No! Even if Dad drinks 5,000 drops of the Great Growth Elixir, Cuengi is still way stronger! So Dad should drink it instead!]
Cuengi firmly refused, stating the biggest number he knew.
It felt unfair somehow, but it was true, so Sejun had no rebuttal.
Thankfully, the largest number Cuengi knew was only 5,000. If it were bigger, Sejun would have been even more hurt.
Cuengi’s strong resistance.
It can’t be helped.
“Then Cuengi, instead of the elixir, how about some honey?”
Kuehehehe. Cuengi!
[Hehehe. Sounds good!]
At Sejun’s words, Cuengi happily ate the honey Sejun gave him.
Kueng?!
[Cuengi ate honey, but why does it say Cuengi consumed the Great Growth Elixir?!]
Hehehe. I mixed the elixir into the honey.
Cuengi unknowingly ingested the Great Growth Elixir along with the honey.
Thus, Sejun successfully fed Theo and Cuengi the elixir.
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Butler! The great Blackie demands 10 roasted and dried sweet potatoes before opening his mouth!]
Having watched his older brothers, Blackie tried to bargain, though in a rather strange way.
However,
“Hehehe. I don’t negotiate with sunfish.”
Kkiing…
[Why only us…]
Sejun forcefully pried open the mouths of the Blackie Family and fed them the Great Growth Elixir without any negotiation.
After successfully feeding all his companions the elixir,
Gulp.
Sejun swallowed the remaining 25 drops himself.
[You have consumed 25 drops of the Great Growth Elixir.][You have gained 250 million experience points.]
[Your lowest stat, Strength, has increased by 2,500.]
[Your proficiency of Seed Shop Lv. 5 has increased.]
[Your proficiency of Harvesting Lv. 9 has increased.]
[Your proficiency of Harvesting Lv. 9 is maxed, and the level has increased.]
[You have mastered Harvesting.]
…
..
.
This time, as the level of the Harvesting skill increased, it finally reached the Master level.
“Oh! It’s at Master level. The effect is…”
The Master-level effect of Harvesting was that the harvested crops would have an increased grade effect, which would trigger every 1,000 times the same crop was harvested.
With this, I should be able to get more than 10 SS-grade crops a day, right?
“Hehehe. The SS-grade green onion was delicious, but what about other crops…?”
Sejun was thrilled at the thought of eating SS-grade crops.
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. SS-grade!]
Next to him, Blackie was also excited at the thought of eating SS-grade roasted and dried sweet potatoes.
After finishing drinking the elixir,
“Summon Kwin.”
Sejun suddenly summoned Kwin, the Tower Farmer of the Silver Tower.
[Summoning Kwin Beretta, honorary full-time employee of the Silver Tower.]“Huh?! Sejun-nim, hello!”
Kwin, who was suddenly summoned, greeted Sejun.
“Yeah. Nice to see you.”
After greeting him, Sejun said,
“Here.”
And handed Kwin a Destruction Devourer Seed.
“Why this?”
“From now on, you’re going to stick with me until you become an A-rank Tower Farmer.”
“Huh?”
The reason Sejun summoned Kwin was to train him into an A-rank Tower Farmer, thereby exceeding the requirement for Sejun to become a B-rank Tower Farmer.
After doing the calculations, he realized he might fall short on one Great Tower growth condition.
Hehehe. Time to put him to work.
104.28.193.250
With a sly grin, Sejun looked at Kwin and started planting the Destruction Devourer Seed.
Kking?! Kking!
[Hey! Can’t you see my butler is working?! Hurry up and get to work!]
Blackie barked fiercely, well, as fiercely as he could, at Kwin, urging him to start working.
After about two hours of planting,
Flash.
A blue light flashed from Kwin’s body before quickly fading away.
Kwin had become an A-rank Farmer.
He had already accumulated a lot of job experience points.
Already?
This was bad news for Sejun, who had planned to put Kwin to work for a long time.
“Oh! Sejun-nim, thank you for making me an A-rank Tower Farmer!”
Kwin expressed his gratitude to Sejun for promoting him to A-rank Farmer.
Kihihit. Kking.
[Hehe. As expected, things go fast when the great Blackie-nim is around.]
Blackie puffed himself up proudly.
“Ahem. Kwin, congratulations on becoming an A-rank Tower Farmer. Now, you can return.”
Trying to act cool, Sejun congratulated Kwin and sent him back to the Silver Tower.
“Guys, let’s go.”
When Sejun returned to the Great Black Tower,
-Sejun, thank you. Just now, one of the Great Tower growth conditions changed from “achieved” to “overachieved”! Thanks to you, four out of eight Great Tower growth conditions have already been met!
-What?! That means half of them are done?! You said it would take time, but it only took two hours?!
-Sejun, if you ever want to use Orik, feel free to take him anytime.
The lower-ranked dragons in great tower ranking who had come looking Sejun spoke in excited voices. Once again, Sejun had unintentionally earned recognition from the dragons.
-Sejun must be tired, so let’s stop bothering him and leave now.
After Crisella spoke to the other two dragons,
-Sejun, this is the Great Tower growth condition for our Golden Tower.
-And this is for our Brown Tower…
Artemis and Grave discreetly handed Sejun pieces of paper listing the Great Tower growth conditions.
-You guys need to follow proper order! Sejun, don’t accept those!
Crisella was furious, worried that it might interfere with the Great Silver Tower’s growth.
“I’ll just hold onto them for now.”
Sejun accepted the papers. Since it would take time, it was better to be aware of things in advance.
Once the Five Dragons Council’s Dragons left, Sejun went to the kitchen, prepared, and ate dinner.
After finishing dinner,
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Butler! The great Blackie-nim is ready!]
Blackie held a piece of the World’s Energy in his mouth and urged Sejun.
It was a signal that it was time to go apologize together.
“Alright. Cuengi, let’s take you to mom.”
Sejun carried Cuengi, who was drowsily nodding off while clinging to his side, and went to find Pink-fur.
And then,
“Pink-fur, here.”
Kurorong.
He handed the sleeping Cuengi over to Pink-fur. Cuengi had fallen completely asleep on the way.
Kuoong. Kuoong.
[Sejun-nim, thank you. You’ve worked hard.]
Pink-fur carefully received Cuengi and spoke in a gentle voice.
…What’s this?
Sejun found it strange.
It had only been a day since their special training, yet Pink-fur’s aura had grown significantly stronger. The curious thing was that, despite this newfound strength, Pink-fur still felt incredibly gentle.
Once again, the 99th-floor residents of the Tower were pulling further ahead of Sejun.
“Then, see you tomorrow.”
Leaving behind Pink-fur, who was waving a paw at him, Sejun returned home, lay down on his bed,
Kuuuhhh.
And immediately fell asleep.
Then,
“Will you forgive my guys if I gave you these roasted and dried sweet potatoes?”
He helped Blackie family apologize.
As time passed and dawn approached,
Srrrk.
The name of the [World’s Energy] Blackie was holding changed to,
[World’s Energy Freed from Corruption]
“Hehehe.”
“Puhuhut.”
Kihihit.
…
..
.
Sejun and his companions drifted into deep sleep, indulging in truly happy dreams.
“Hehehe. Kneel before me, all of you.”
In his dream, Sejun happily forced many Destruction Sejuns to kneel before him.
