Chapter 305: Why Is This Arm All Torn Apart?
TL: Hanguk
Between China and Mongolia, to the east of the Gobi Desert.
Approximately 1000km north of Beijing, the capital of China.
Flap-flap.
Hundreds of thousands of green locusts flew over the vast sandy lands, forming a three-dimensional pattern.
It was a magic circle.
Moments later.
Buzz.
In the center of the magic circle, a hole appeared in the air,
Flutter-flutter.
and out of the hole came two moths, each the size of a palm. As soon as the moths emerged, the hole closed immediately.
And then,
Flap-flap.
the green locusts began to attack the moths they had summoned.
Locusts, even cannibalistic towards their kind, had no concept of allies.
Just as the two moths appeared, about to be torn to shreds by the locusts,
Woosh.
flames burst forth from the moths wings,
Whoosh.
burning the attacking locusts.
However,
Flap-flap.
the locusts continued their attack on the fire moths without fear.
Whoosh-whoosh.
The bodies of the locusts served as fuel, causing the flames of the fire moths to grow larger.
Once the flames had grown sufficiently,
Woosh.
a part of the flame detached,
Flutter-flutter.
and transformed into a moth the size of a fist.
Flap-flap.
Naturally, the locusts attacked the newly born moth,
Woosh.
but the newly born moth also created flames on its wings, burning the locusts.
This process repeated, reducing the number of locusts while increasing the number of fire moths. Eventually, only the fire moths remained.

Flutter-flutter.
the fire moths dispersed in all directions, searching for prey to sacrifice to the flames.

99th Floor Kitchen.
Hehehe.
Thump-thump.
Sejun was diligently working on rice dough, chuckling to himself.
I can eat pizza now!
Sejun thought of pizza the moment he felt the texture of mozzarella cheese in the sticky corn.
He had rushed to the kitchen to make this rice dough.
A little later,
Done.
Sejun had finished the rice dough.
He covered the bowl containing the rice dough with banana leaves for fermentation,
Click.
[You have consumed a piece of Aileens Healthier Meatball.]
[You must eat all the pieces for it to take effect.]
[437 pieces remaining.]
Sejun quickly filled his stomach with Aileens cooking.
And then,
Alright, now to make tomato paste.
He took out cherry tomatoes that had been soaking in hot water one by one,
Slice-slice.
and began peeling them.
Then,
Ppyik!
[Ill help you!]
Beep?
[Uncle, are you making something new again?]
As Sejun began cooking something new, the rabbits showed interest and came to help, eager to lend a hand.
Yes, its a dish called pizza
Thanks to the rabbits, Sejun was able to explain pizza to them and keep himself entertained while working.
Ppyik!
[That sounds delicious!]
Hehehe. Right.
As he peeled the tomatoes and had a decent amount accumulated,
Splat.
Sejun poured the cherry tomatoes into a black pot,
Sprinkle-sprinkle.
added some salt, boiled it strongly once, and then started to simmer it over low heat.
Kids, stir this for me.
Sejun asked the rabbits to stir the tomato mixture to prevent it from sticking to the bottom,
[You have obtained Sticky Corn Seeds.]
[Your job experience has slightly increased.]
[Your proficiency of Seed Harvesting Lv. 8 has slightly increased.]
[You need to use the Seed Harvesting skill 751,161 more times to complete the job quest.]
Sejun had harvested 20 pieces of sticky corn.
While Sejun was preparing the pizza ingredients,
Crackle.
Crackle.
The Daebong persimmon of Accuracy and the Sunflower Seed, enhanced by the Harvest Elixir, were growing vigorously.

Theo-nim, this way.
Uren led Theo, Cuengi, and Piyot to the best clothing store he knew of.
Located quite a distance from the bustling streets of the shopping district, was the clothing store Arachne.
He took out the fermented dough to start making pizza dough.
Just then,
Chairman Park, Im back, meow!
Slap.
Theo, having completed his errand, clung to the back of Sejuns head.
Vice Chairman Theo, youre back?
What, meow?! Why are you making food, meow?
Theo, dissatisfied that Sejun was making food after sending him on a food errand, asked in an annoyed voice.
Hehehe. Suddenly, I wanted to eat this dish.
Sejun, feeling very happy at the thought of eating pizza, replied with a cheerful voice.
Why are you so cheerful, meow?! I dont like it, meow!
Theo got upset seeing Sejun happy even in his absence.
Squeeze!
Theo hugged Sejuns head even tighter.
Thats nice.
Nevertheless, only Sejuns mood improved due to Theos soft belly.
But where is Cuengi?
Kueng!
[Cuengi is here!]
Cuengi, who was smelling the unfamiliar scent of tomato paste, raised his hand and replied energetically at Sejuns call.
Did our Cuengi come back well?
Kueng!
[I came back fine!]
Did you have any allowance left from what Daddy gave you?
Kueng!
[Yes! Its here!]
Cuengi took out his allowance pouch.
Shall we see how much you spent?
Sejun opened Cuengis allowance pouch to check how much money was spent.
But,
Huh?! You didnt spend any?
Inside the pouch, the 100 Tower Coins he had given were still there.
Cuengi, you didnt spend any money?
Sejun asked,
Kueng! Kueng!
[No! I bought food and armor with the allowance Daddy gave!]
Then why is the money still here?
Kueng!
[Big brother got us a discount!]
Cuengi looked at Theo with eyes full of admiration.
And,
Phuhuhut. Thats right, meow! I got us a discount, meow!
In the meantime, Theo, who was now hanging on Sejuns knee, raised his head and boasted.
You got a discount?!
This was almost like robbery? When Sejun was puzzled,
(Pip-pip. Uren~nim paid on credit from behind.)
The golden bat told Sejun the truth.
Ah
Sejun finally understood why Cuengis allowance hadnt decreased.
Then, shall we see what our Cuengi bought?
Phuhuhut. Youll be surprised, meow!
Theo took out the packed food, three sets of mithril chain armor with arms torn off, and a wooden plank from his bundle.
Why are all these arms torn off?
[Right arm torn Enhanced Mithril Chain Armor (Triple-layered)]
[Left arm torn Enhanced Mithril Chain Armor]
[Right arm torn Enhanced Mithril Chain Armor]
When Sejun asked, looking at the Mithril chain armors with one arm each torn off,
Kueng!
[Cuengi did it to check if they were sturdy!]
Cuengi proudly said. Cuengi checked everything for Daddy!
I see.
Knowing why the arms were torn off, Sejun examined the most expensive-looking mithril chain armor.

It should be worn inside.
Although it was a chain armor, it felt as comfortable against the skin as wearing clothes made of fabric.
Cuengi, tear this off for me.
Wearing armor with only one arm was awkward, so Sejun asked Cuengi to tear off the remaining left arm as well.
Kueng!
[Okay!]
Rip.
Cuengi tore off the left arm,
Swoosh.
and Sejun put on the chain armor, now sleeveless.
And then,
Vice Chairman Theo, please drill a hole here.
Sejun handed the left arm piece that Cuengi had torn off to Theo,
Got it, meow!
Pop. Pop. Pop. Pop.
Theo drilled four holes at the desired spots with his dragon claw, completing the modified mithril armor for sunfish Fenrir.
And,
Bloom.
Meanwhile, outside, a Sunflower Seed flower that resembled a sunflower bloomed outside.
