Chapter 339: Phew, I Survived

TL: Hanguk

[The Towers Administrator says that the power of destruction she discovered has been extinguished.]

[The Towers Administrator says that it seems the other Apostle of Destruction are also detectable with the destruction detector.]

[The Towers Administrator apologizes for being unable to help.]

Its okay. These things happen. If it werent for Aileen, we wouldnt have even gotten this far.

Sejun comforted Aileen, who felt sorry, and they returned to the 99th floor of the tower.

[You have arrived at the 99th floor of the Black Tower.]

Toryong.

-Yes, Master.

Sejun called Toryong to return to the farm.

Koogoogung.

On their way back to the farm riding Toryong,

Gororong.

Kurorong.

Arorong.

Kkirorong.

Pat. Pat.

Aileen, do you think she arrived by now?

Sejun, petting the sleeping Theo, Cuengi, Ajax, and Blackie in turns, asked Aileen.

[The Towers Administrator says that Grandma Brachio should have arrived at the Green Tower by now.]

Hehehe. Good.

At Aileens response, Sejun smirked mischievously,

[The Towers Administrator also smiles, saying shes also looking forward to the revenge.]

Aileen smiled ominously alongside Sejun, the two scheming something together.

A few hours earlier.

When Brachio arrived at the administrative area of the Black Tower, Aileen asked Sejun if they should make a deal with Brachio.

It was because Brachio had once tried to kidnap Sejun using a land deed as a trap.

Hehehe. Treat her well and at the end give her Elixir-grade Cherry Tomatoes.

I, Park Sejun, am a man with a big heart as if. I return what I receive, doubled!

Ill take my revenge on the kidnapping with kidnapping!

[The Towers Administrator says she understands.]

Aileen, who immediately grasped Sejuns intention, kindly explained how they would conduct the trade, which eased Brachios wariness.

And then,

Grandma Brachio, this is a gift. Please try planting these.

Aileen handed over 100 Elixir-grade Cherry Tomatoes to Brachio.

Hohoho. Thank you, dear.

Unaware that they were actually bombs, Brachio took the Elixir-grade Cherry Tomatoes back to the Green Tower.

The moment she plants those tomatoes, something unimaginable will happen. Hehehe.

As Sejun eagerly awaited the fruition of his sweet revenge,

-Master, we have arrived.

Toryong announced their arrival at the farm.

Yeah, thanks. Guys, wake up. Its time to eat.

Sejun, holding Theo, Cuengi, Ajax, and Blackie, headed to the kitchen.

Thump-Thump.

Puhuhut. Chairman Park, take care of your face, meow! Its almost rotting, meow!

Theo kneaded Sejuns face and,

Kueng!

[Cuengis massage will make Dad stronger!]

Hehehe! Hyung, Ill give you a massage too!

Cuengi and Ajax took turns massaging Sejuns shoulders.

Kkirorong.

Fenrir was still asleep, exhausted from running hard earlier.

Receiving massages from the three, Sejun reached the kitchen.

Wait for a bit.

Sejun hurriedly took out a pot and some corn to start cooking.

Chiiik.

First, he melted butter in the heated pot, then added the steamed corn cob, stirred it to ensure the butter soaked in thoroughly.

Sprinkle, sprinkle.

For a perfect mix of salty and sweet, he sprinkled a little salt,

Poke.

Finally, he skewered the buttery, salted corn

[You have achieved the achievement of making Sweet-Salty Corn Butter Skewers for the first time in the tower.]

[The recipe for Salty-Sweet Corn Butter Skewers has been registered under Cooking Lv. 8.]

[Your proficiency of Cooking Lv. 8 has slightly increased.]

[Your proficiency of Cooking Lv. 8 has filled, advancing to Cooking Lv. 9.]

[With the effect of Cooking Lv. 9, you can now enhance the effects of cooking ingredients.]

[From now on, the effects of ingredients used in cooking will increase by 5%.]

Tonights dinner menu is complete.

Oh. The effects of the cooking ingredients have increased by 5%?

Sejun read the message and was pleased.

If it works as described, a 1 would increase to 1.05. Its not a huge difference, but its significant when you eat three meals a day.

Thus, Sejun was able to make slightly more effective dishes.

Poke. Poke.

For Theo, he skewered a few pieces of fish on some of the skewers.

A moment later,

Guys, lets eat.

When Sejun placed a plate piled with corn on the table,

Kueng!

[Thank you for the meal!]

Hehehe! Hyung, Thank you for the food!

[During sleep, 10% of your life force was stored.]

Puhuhut. Yes, meow! Did Chairman Park sleep well, meow!

No. I couldnt sleep well because I was worried.

Sejun lied to make it easier to send Theo down willingly.

However,

Meow? Really, meow!? For someone who didnt sleep, Chairman Parks face isnt very rotten, meow!!

Theo was oddly sharp about weird things.

Vice Chairman Theo, you can tell that?

Puhuhut. Yes, meow! Right now, Chairman Parks face is just rotten enough to be able to look at, meow!

What does just rotten enough to be able to look at even mean? Sejun pondered Theos incomprehensible aesthetic standards when,

Kueng!

[It smells delicious!]

Cuengi entered the kitchen.

Cuengi, did you sleep well?

Kueng!

[Did daddy also sleep well?]

Yeah. Now, go bring Ajax and Blackie since its time to eat.

Kueng!

[Understood!]

Dadada.

At Sejuns command, Cuengi hurried to the bedroom,

Arorong.

Kkirorong.

And came back carrying Ajax and Blackie on his shoulder. He really just brought them as told.

Chuck. Chuck.

Cuengi placed them in their respective spots and,

Plop.

Sat down in his own place looking at Sejun, ready to eat.

Alright. Lets eat.

While Sejun was putting food on the table,

Huh?

Kking?

Ajax and Fenrir woke up to the smell of food.

Oh! Its breakfast!

Kking!

Its food!

Naturally, both were thrilled to see food right in front of them as soon as they opened their eyes.

After everyone ate breakfast,

Here, Vice Chairman Theo, take this.

Sejun handed a lunchbox to Theo as he spoke.

Chairman Park, what is this, meow?

Theo asked as he took it.

Its a lunchbox. You need to go to floors 57 and 62 of the tower

As Sejun was explaining what Theo needed to do,

Ppyang!

[Uncle, Im here!]

Black Rabbit arrived with an enormous number of rabbits.

Thanks to the Messenger Bird Piyot, who properly conveyed Sejuns instructions to send rabbits to be tenant farmers at the Red Ribbon Kingdom to the 99th floor of the tower.

Ppiyek!

Ppip!

The rabbits surrounded Sejun, each eager to become his tenant farmer first.

Alright, everyone, line up in two rows.

Chuck.

[You have designated the 5012th tenant farmer.]

Chuck.

[You have designated the 5013th tenant farmer.]

Sejun placed his hands on the heads of the rabbits, designating them as tenant farmers.

And then,

Puhuhut. Chairman Park, this lunchbox is delicious, meow!

Theo ate his lunchbox while watching Sejun work.

[You have designated the 8272nd tenant farmer.]

[You have designated the 8273rd tenant farmer.]

.

As Sejun busily designated the rabbits as tenant farmers,

[It has been confirmed that Ophelia Iorg, the Tower Farmer of the Green Tower, planted the Elixir: Cherry Tomatoes Imbued with Powerful Magic Power without permission.]

Finally, the message Sejun had been waiting for appeared.

[According to the towers laws, a Tower Farmer who plants a crop with exclusive cultivation rights without permission must work under the holder of those rights for 100 years.]

[According to the towers laws, Ophelia Iorg, the Tower Farmer of the Green Tower, will now work under Sejun Park, the Tower Farmer of the Black Tower, for the next 100 years.]

Hehehe. Revenge successful. Now Ill kidnap you, Ophelia

As Sejun was delighted and about to summon the enslaved Ophelia,

[According to job traits, you borrow 0.2% of Ophelia Iorgs stats from the Green Tower.]

[You have gained Strength 340, Stamina 400, Agility 240, Magic Power 300.]

A message appeared indicating that his stats had increased due to his job trait.

And,

Sumwhat?!

Sejun hurriedly stopped the summoning.

The stats had increased too significantly.

This meant that Ophelias stats were incredibly high

and it meant that summoning her could mean death for him.

Phew. I survived.

Sejun, having survived yet another day, let out a sigh of relief.
