Chapter 409: Puhuhut. Neta Tribe, then let’s start the auction, meow!

TL: Hanguk

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

“Home.”

Sejun used the Dragon Horn’s Return Bracelet and arrived in front of his house.

This time, the return magic activated at the absolute coordinate, bringing him directly to the 99th floor of the Black Tower instead of the 99th floor of the Green Tower.

Thus, Sejun arrived at the Black Tower.

“Aileen, what’s going on?”

He hurriedly called for Aileen.

[The Tower’s administrator says that she will no longer give you her bad-tasting food anymore, so please don’t run away.]

“What?! Really? No way. Aileen’s cooking... isn’t bad. It’s edible. And I didn’t run away because of Aileen’s cooking, but because of the land deed of the 1st floor of the Green Tower and Theo’s bag...”

Sejun hurriedly covered up his true feelings that came out without him realizing and explained in detail to Aileen why he had gone to the Green Tower.

[The Tower’s administrator says she’s glad you didn’t run away to the Green Tower because of her cooking.]

“Right. Aileen, with you here, why would I run to another tower?”

Sejun reassured the anxious Aileen.

[The Tower’s administrator is depressed, saying she only now realized her cooking tastes bad.]

Yeah. You finally realized...

“It still tastes better than the food Orik brings though.”

Sejun, feeling relieved, comforted Aileen.

Hehehe. Let’s not let Aileen cook anymore. Just enjoy the food I make.

He pretended to be sad and bowed his head to hide the grin that was creeping up on his face.

However,

[The Tower’s administrator is burning with determination to practice cooking harder and make delicious food for you.]

Contrary to Sejun’s expectations, Aileen did not give up on cooking.

“...Okay. I’ll look forward to it!”

Sejun encouraged Aileen with a slightly gloomy voice. There’s always the option of not cooking...

After finishing his conversation with Aileen,

“Ophelia, come out.”

He called for Ophelia. It was to ask her to dispatch subordinates to the 1st floor of the tower.

[The Green Tower’s slave asks what’s the matter.]

“Send some decent subordinates to the 1st floor of the Green Tower.”

[She asks what’s happening on the 1st floor of the tower.]

“Ah. I’ve opened a shop on the 1st floor. So, I need bodyguards to protect the shop and the Ururuk tribe working there.”

He omitted the part about the power player on the 93rd floor of the tower. He couldn’t afford to lose a good source of stats.

[The Green Tower’s slave says not to worry.]

[The Green Tower’s slave says she will send useful subordinates.]

Thus, Ophelia, having received Sejun’s request,

“Ahem. Human, in the end, you’re seeking help from the capable and great Green Dragon Ophelia Iorg. But who should I send?”

Pleased with the request, Ophelia pondered over whom to send to the 1st floor of the tower.

She is a great Green Dragon. Sending weak subordinates would tarnish her reputation.

“Alright. I’ve decided. You guys!”

Ophelia sent the bosses of the 99th, 98th, and 97th floors of the tower to the 1st floor simultaneously.

Since they were sent using transportation magic, there was no uproar like the Black Minotaur’s incident in the Black Tower.

***

1st floor of the Green Tower.

Thud. Thud. Thud.

The bosses, following Ophelia’s orders, arrived in front of Sejun’s shop.

“Meow? You’ve arrived, meow? Welcome, meow! I am Theo Park, the legendary merchant, and the deadly dragon clawed golden cat subordinate of the great Black Dragon, meow!”

Theo, who had been waiting for Ophelia’s subordinates, greeted them warmly and introduced himself.

“I am Agni, the Fire Demon and the Boss of the 99th floor.”

“I am Cerberus, the Demon Hound and the Boss of the 98th floor.”

“I am Egel, the Saintess of Destruction and the Boss of the 97th floor.”

The bosses also introduced themselves too.

“But can’t you reduce your body size, meow?”

Just the three of them standing was enough to block the view of the shop.

“We can.”

“I can too.”

“Me too.”

The bosses shrank their bodies to a size similar to Theo’s.

“Puhuhut. Good, meow! What can you guys do, meow?”

“I am good with fire.”

Fwoosh.

At Theo’s question, Agni confidently answered while breathing out fire.

“Puhuhut. Good, meow! Agni, from now on you’ll roast sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, meow!”

“Yes!”

Thus, Theo turned the 99th-floor boss into a roasted sweet potato vendor.

“I am good at biting.”

“Cerberus, guard the entrance, meow!”

“I am good at beating people up and can also heal.”

“Puhuhut. Good, meow! Egel, you will heal people for money, meow!”

Cerberus was assigned as a guard, and Egel as a healer.

Puhuhut. Chairman Park said he believes in me, meow!

I’ll make this shop the highest-grossing shop in the Green Tower, meow!

A huge commotion was occurring in the Green Tower because of Sejun’s single sentence that he believes in Theo.

[The seal on the Earth’s Jewel has been broken.] [Toga Road] [Earth Blade] [Earth Blade]

[Cuengi is going to check the herbs!]

Cuengi packed a lunchbox and left for the western forest.

Kirorong.

Fenrir went back to sleep.

And then,

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, just trust me, meow!”

“Huh?”

Trust you with what?

Theo boasted loudly, opened his bag, and left for the Green Tower.

***

Green Tower, 1st floor.

When it was opening time, Sejun’s shop door opened.

“Give me 10 roasted sweet potatoes and 100 cherry tomatoes!”

“I want 10 steamed corns!”

Neta Tribe hunters, who had skipped breakfast and waited for the shop to open, handed over their money and placed their orders.

In just one day, Sejun’s shop had become the hottest spot on the 1st floor of the Green Tower.

Fortunately, thanks to the high-powered cook hired in a hurry yesterday, they were able to handle the flood of orders.

At that moment,

“If you are injured, come here for treatment!”

“A pretty noona will treat you!”

Ururuk tribe children promoted the newly established clinic next to the shop.

Soon after, one hunter entered the treatment center, and a line began forming in front of it.

“It’s still not enough, meow!”

Theo watched the hunters from the shop roof, lost in thought. This won’t make it the best shop in the Green Tower, meow!

At that moment,

“Didn’t you get your ear bitten off yesterday while catching a locust? Go get it treated.”

“Should I?”

Theo overheard the hunters’ conversation with his keen ears.

And then,

“Locust, meow!”

Theo, having overheard the conversation, came up with a way to dramatically boost the shop’s sales.

Thinking about it, the hunters here must also be dealing with locust invasions.

But what about Earth?

“Puhuhut. Thanks to the great Chairman Park, there are none, meow!”

So, the most needed thing here would be...

“Of course, it’s the sturdy blade green onions overflowing in the warehouse, meow!”

Currently, with locusts completely eradicated on Earth, there was no demand for the sturdy blade green onions, leaving the warehouse full of them.

A lot of stock has piled up recently; I can sell them here, meow! I’m so smart, meow!

Praising himself, Theo took out the green onions from his bag.

“Neta Tribe! Aren’t you troubled by locusts, meow?! Puhuhut. You don’t worry if you have this, meow!”

He shouted towards the hunters.

Locusts were a disaster threatening their world. The hunters’ attention was immediately focused on Theo.

“Puhuhut. Let me tell you, this is the sturdy blade green onion that made the locusts invading Earth go extinct, meow!”

When Theo spoke while shaking the sturdy blade green onions,

“What?! You’re saying that little grass made locusts go extinct?!”

“Liar! Do you even know what locusts eat?!”

The hunters shouted, angrily.

“Silence, meow! Doggy, tell them to quiet down, meow!”

Theo looked at Cerberus, the Demon Hound, guarding the entrance, and spoke.

Grrr.

Cerberus grew larger and growled at the hunters.

Under the pressure of the immense power, the hunters quickly quieted down.

“This is the sturdy blade green onion recognized by the great Chairman Park and the great Green Dragon, Ophelia, meow!”

Theo continued to promote. Ophelia had never seen the sturdy blade green onion, but

Since she’s Chairman Park’s slave, I can use her name, meow!

Theo casually mentioned Ophelia’s name together.

As Theo’s explanation ended,

“What?! The great Green Dragon?”

“If that’s the case...”

“Can we see the options first?”

“Puhuhut. Take a look, meow!”

The hunters started checking the options of the green onions.

A little while later,

“So, how much is this?”

Hunters, now interested in the sturdy blade green onions, asked for the price.

“Puhuhut. Neta Tribe, then let’s start the auction, meow!”

Theo shouted with a smile.
