TL: Hanguk
4th Floor of the Black Tower.
Attack!
Hundreds of thousands of hunters formed a massive circle with a radius of 10km around the waypoint.
Keeaak!
They were fighting against the Flesh Eaters that surrounded them.
Protecting the waypoint was extremely important because if the waypoint on the 4th floor was captured, there would be no way to come to the 4th floor in the future.
Mages, prepare buffs!
Yes!
Sejuns A-grade Magical Cherry Tomatoes, which increase magic power by 1 for 10 minutes upon consumption.
Up to 10 can be stacked, so consuming them all at once can increase magic power by 10.
With the magic power buff from the cherry tomatoes, the mages were ready.
Mages, use your magic! Magic Missile! Dodge if you can! Multi Magic Missile!
Fireball!
Fire Arrow!
Starting with Han Tae-jun, the mages began using their magic.
The Flesh Eaters were reduced in number by the mages magical bombardment, providing a brief respite on the front line.
Prepare buffs!
Leon, the guild master of the Phoenix Guild who was commanding the warriors, shouted to the hunters.
And then,
Crunch. Crunch.
The warriors began to eat Sejuns crops from their pouches.
Most ate Stamina Corn, while hunters with more money ate the expensive Power Sweet Potato or Power Potato.
Now that Sejuns crops were widely distributed, overall prices had fallen a lot.
However, Power Sweet Potato, which enhances effects by five times, Power Potato that cures stomach cancer, and Agility Carrot that treats vision were still expensive.
Hunters who couldnt afford even Stamina Corn ate combat rations to fill their bellies.
While the mages bought time, the warriors, who had gained buffs from eating the crops, resumed fighting the Flesh Eaters.
After about an hour, they had exterminated all the surrounding Flesh Eaters.
Phew. Hurry and rest! The next wave of Flesh Eaters will arrive in an hour!
Thud.
The exhausted hunters immediately sat down on the spot.
At that moment,
Humans! We are here, meow!
The cat employees of Sejun Company visited them.
Oh! The wandering merchants of Sejun Company!
If you die collecting contribution points, its all for nothing! Hurry and exchange for tower coins to buy crops!
While the hunters without money hurriedly exchanged their contribution points for tower coins,
Give me 1000 Magical Cherry Tomatoes!
Ill take 100 Stamina Corn!
Other hunters quickly lined up in front of the wandering merchants and began buying goods.
Without the supply from these wandering merchants, it would have been impossible to defend the waypoint on the 4th floor of the tower.
While the hunters were buying Sejuns crops,
Huh? Is this a pineapple?
Miel, a mage hunter, discovered a new crop.
What is this?
As Miel timidly reached for the pineapple,
Slap.
No, meow! Dont touch it, meow!
Ellie, the Intern cat, slapped Miels hand and stopped her.
Ouch! Why did you hit me?!
It might explode if you touch it, meow!
What? Explode? Youre joking, right?
Does it mean its so delicious it will explode?
Im not joking, meow!
Really? Then can I at least check the options? Ill be careful.
Alright, meow! Be really careful, meow!
As Ellie carefully held the pineapple with her front paws like chapssaltteok, Miel cautiously placed her hand on the pineapple.
And then,
..
.
Cultivator: Tower Farmer Park Sejun
Shelf Life: 120 days
Grade: A
Ill buy them all!
After checking the options of the pineapple, Miel shouted.
Really, meow?! Great, meow! Its 1000 tower coins per piece, meow!
What?! 1000 tower coins?!
Almost close to 1 billion won in price.
A single pineapple for 1 billion is too expensive
Miel hesitated for a moment.
If youre not buying, move aside. We want to buy.
The hunters lined up behind began eyeing the pineapple.
Looks like theyre selling a new crop over there.
Really? Lets switch lines!
With other hunters showing interest in the pineapple and switching lines,
Thats right! Park Sejuns crops have always been worth the price!
Growing impatient, Miel decided to trust Park Sejuns name rather than her own judgment.
Fine! Give me 50!
Are they really buying this?
When Vice Chairman Theo instructed the Sejun Companys wandering merchants to sell the pineapples, all the wandering merchants were reluctant.
They thought it was difficult to store and wouldnt be popular with the hunters.
So the youngest, Ellie, had no choice but to bring all the remaining stock, but
Ellie ended up selling 100 pineapples that day and recorded the highest sales among the wandering merchants.
As the wandering merchants left,
The enemies are coming!
Prepare for battle!
The battle started again.
Ill give try it first.
Power of the wind Wind Blow!
To test its power, Miel used a wind spell to send the pineapple into the middle of the Flesh Eaters formation.
Please be worth 1000 tower coins!
Miel prayed as she watched the flying pineapple.
While Miel was praying,
Thud.
The pineapple fell among the Flesh Eaters.d new chaptrs on no/v/e/lin(.)com
And then,
Crack.
The middle of the pineapple split from the impact, and the trapped magic power burst out violently.
Screeee!
Kwagwang!
Along with a tremendous scream, a huge shockwave occurred.
The Flesh Eaters within a 50-meter radius of the explosion point were annihilated by the shockwave, and the enemies within a 100-meter radius were knocked out.
[You have gained 1000 experience points.]
[Contribution has increased by 1.]
..
.
[You have leveled up.]
[You have gained 3 bonus stats.]
[Magic power has increased by 5.]
Oh! Level up!
While Miel was delighted by the level-up message,
[You can change class to Bomb Mage (C).]
[Do you want to change class?]
A job advancement message appeared.
Bomb Mage?!
C-rank, higher than her current job, Mage (D).
I have to do this!
Miel instinctively felt that this choice would change her destiny.
Ill change class.
Miel decisively chose to advance,
Kukukuk! Explode!
That day, she single-handedly wiped out half the enemies, earning an enormous amount of contribution.
***
75th Floor of the Black Tower.
Grrrr.
Fenrir growled, watching Theo and Cuengi approaching him with fierce expressions.
Despite his efforts, he only looked cute.
Kking! Kking!
[Dont come any closer! Ill bite if you do!]
When his growl didnt work, Fenrir barked noisily.
However,
Blackie, youre noisy, meow! You really need to be punished, meow!
Kueng!
[Cuengi will teach you what manners are!]
That only made his older brothers angrier.
Kking?! Kking!
[Hey! What are you doing?! Protect me!]
Fenrir, cornered, asked his butler, Sejun, for help.
Hey? Blackie, did you just call me Hey again?
Sejun, feeling betrayed, didnt help.
Blackie, you have no manners, meow! You need to be disciplined, meow!
Kueng! Kueng!
[Thats right! CUengi will instill manners in you!]
Thus, Fenrir was forced to receive a manners patch through Theo and Cuengis punishment.
Kking! Kking!
[Im not Blackie! Im Fenrir, the noble wolf who hunts gods and the 1st seat of apostle of destruction!]
Fenrir finally couldnt hold it in and revealed his identity, but
Puhuhut. If Blackie is Fenrir, then Im Chairman Park, meow!
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Then Cuengi is Grandpa Kaiser!]
They thought Fenrirs words were just their cute younger brother boasting, having already seen the gigantic Fenrir on the 99th floor of the tower.
A short while later.
From now on, be respectful to Chairman Park, meow!
Kking
[I got it.]
Sigh.
When Theo raised his paw at Fenrirs words,
Kking
[Yes]
Fenrir shrank back and used formal language.
Fenrirs manners patch was finally complete.
But when did Blackie become able to talk?
When Sejun asked Blackie.
Blackie?
Blackie didnt respond. He still wasnt used to his new name yet.
Kueng?
[Blackie, arent you answering Dads question?]
As Cuengi reached for the Rod of Justice from his pouch again,
Ah! My name is Blackie!
Kking! Kking!
[I dont know! It just happened suddenly!]
Blackie hurriedly answered, glancing nervously at Theo and Cuengi.
I see. Blackie, nice to meet you. My name is Park Sejun.
Kking!
[Yes!]
Sejun formally greeted Blackie, who could now communicate.
Alright. Lets go shopping now.
Sejun picked up Blackie and put him in a sling bag, standing up.
Puhuhut. Chairman Park, what do you want to buy, meow?! Tell me, and Ill guide you to everything, meow!
Theo, who had been to the shopping district many times, clung to Sejuns leg and shouted.
Then lets go to the blacksmith first.
Got it, meow! This way, meow!
Theo pointed his paw towards the blacksmith shop.
Soon they arrived at the blacksmith shop.
Ah! This is the lottery corner!
Sejun was moved to see the blacksmiths lottery corner, which he had only heard about.
How much is it?
Sejun asked the blacksmiths employee to try the lottery.
Its 20 tower coins.
The employee answered.
Can you give me a discount
Knowing how much Theo had paid, Sejun was about to use his three-times bargaining skill.
Though he had plenty of money, he always told Theo to use this skill, so he needed to set an example.
At that moment,
Kueng! Kueng!
[Cuengi will pay and negotiate!]
Enthusiastic Cuengi stepped forward. Cuengi will get a big discount and let Dad try the lottery with Cuengis pocket money!
Kueng!
[Give a discount!]
Then 17 tower coins
As the employee began to negotiate, Cuengi took out the Rod of Justice from his snack pouch.
Cuengi, used words, not force.
Bang! Bang!
Luckily, Cuengi didnt hit the employee but lightly tapped his own paw with the rod.
However, it was only light to Cuengi; each tap shook the blacksmith shop.
Wait a moment! Just for today, Ill give it to you for half price, 10 tower coins!
The employee hurriedly shouted, thinking the shop might collapse if the negotiation continued.
Kuehehehe. Kueng! Kueng!
[Hehehe. Dad, Cuengi will pay! Here you go!]
At the employees words, Cuengi proudly took out his precious 10 tower coins and paid.
Thank you, Cuengi.
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Dad, if you need anything, Cuengi will buy it all for you!]
At Sejuns words, Cuengi proudly shouted while patting his pocket money pouch.
A little later.
Alright. Ill take this.
After much deliberation at the lottery corner, Sejun chose a dull stone knife.
???
Usage Restriction: Lv. 10
Maker: Anonymous
Grade: C
There was no particular reason. He was simply drawn to it.
Vice Chairman Theo, hows this?
Sejun asked the golden-pawed Theo to confirm if he had chosen well.
Puhuhut. As expected of Chairman Park, meow! Its excellent, meow!
Huh? Its excellent?
I usually have bad luck though? This cant be right?
Sejun was puzzled by Theos praise.
Ill find out soon enough.
Aileen, appraise this.
Sejun sent the stone knife to Aileen.
***
Black Tower Administrators Area.
Khehehehe. Just wait a moment, Sejun!
Aileen hurriedly appraised the stone knife Sejun had sent.
Then,
The items name changed. The description said it was a divine relic of Patrick, the God of Earth.
What?! This is a relic!
As Aileen marveled at the Earth Blade,
An alert appeared in the crystal orb. Due to the God of War Battler, the condition had previously been unmet as divine relic was destroyed, but now it was fulfilled again.
Khehehehe. As expected of our Sejun! Then the growth conditions
Originally, seven conditions had been met so that makes 8?!
Fwoosh!
The crystal orb glowed golden, signaling that the Black Towers growth conditions were fully satisfied.
