Chapter 453: Apologize to Our Theo!

Chapter 453: Apologize to Our Theo!

TL: Hanguk

1st floor of the Green Tower.

Yom-nyom-nyom.

Ophelia was enjoying the sausage skewer that Theo had brought.

“What?! You want me to help with Vice Chairman Theo’s special training?”

She was a bit taken aback by Theo’s sudden request.

“That’s right, meow! I, Vice Chairman Theo, need special training, meow!”

At this rate, I won’t be able to protect Chairman Park, meow!

Theo was greatly flustered when he met Aileen.

Meow! The energy I need to absorb is too overwhelming, meow!

As Aileen’s strength increased rapidly, the amount of energy that needed to be absorbed to prevent her from harming Sejun became too much.

So, Theo had to burn through money to barely absorb Aileen’s power, but he couldn’t even absorb half of the energy that Aileen was emanating.

However,

Thud.

Even that became useless with just one step from Aileen.

When Sejun was thrown away,

‘I passed out leaving Chairman Park behind, meow!’

Theo had also lost consciousness for a moment.

I’m still lacking, meow!

That’s why he decided to undergo special training.

“What do you need me to do?”

“Ophelia~nim just needs to emit strong energy, meow!”

“That’s easy enough. But in exchange, give me more sausage skewers.”

“Got it, meow!”

And so, Theo decided to receive special training from Ophelia in exchange for sausage skewers.

He returned to the Black Tower, got more sausage skewers, and went back to find Ophelia.

“It’s dangerous here, so let’s go to the 99th floor of the tower.”

“Got it, meow!”

The two of them moved to the 99th floor of the Green Tower.

“Alright, then. I’ll start. Since it’s your first time, I’ll start light.”

“Meow!”

Ophelia slightly loosened the faucet she had tightly closed to contain the surging energy within her body.

Then,

Whoosh.

In an instant, the immense energy burst out of Ophelia’s body and dominated the surroundings.

This is incredible, meow!

Theo was startled by Ophelia’s energy, which was even more powerful than he had anticipated.

Sejun, who had nearly died hundreds of times, wouldn’t agree, but in his own way, Sejun was like a flower in a greenhouse.

The monsters and dragons on the 99th floor of the tower were always cautious around Sejun, who might die from just breathing too hard.

So, Theo, who was always by Sejun’s side, had never experienced such overwhelmingly strong energy that he couldn’t handle. Before that could happen, Sejun would pass out.

“I’ll absorb it, meow!”

And so, Theo began to use Energy Drain to absorb the energy Ophelia was emitting.

A little while later.

“I’ll increase it now.”

“Meow!”

As Theo got accustomed to the current level of energy, Ophelia released a bit more.

And so the special training continued until evening.

“Let’s call it a day.”N/nêw n0vel chap/ers are published o/n n0v/e/(lb)i(n.)co/m

“Got it, meow...”

I want to see Chairman Park quickly, meow!

Theo, exhausted from the training, answered weakly and hurried back to the 99th floor of the Black Tower where Sejun was, and

“Chairman Park, I... I’ve... come back, meow...”

He tried to go towards Chairman Park’s lap...

But he was so tired that he fainted before he could reach Sejun’s knee that he loved so much.

***

“Vice Chairman Theo!”

Sejun hurriedly ran to Theo.

No injuries, no fever...

He quickly checked Theo’s body, but nothing seemed seriously wrong.

“Kaiser~nim!”

So he picked up Theo and ran straight towards the fountain where Kaiser was.

And then,

-Hmm. There’s nothing wrong? He’s just sleeping.

-More importantly, did Theo eat something good all by himself?

-Exactly, why is there so much energy gathered in his belly?

-It’s obvious. He must have gotten sick from eating something good by himself.

Theo ended up being misunderstood as having gotten sick from eating something good by himself.

This misunderstanding was caused by him constantly absorbing Ophelia’s energy.

-He’s just like Sejun.

“What? Me? I’m not like that.”

-Theo even resembles him in this aspect.

Sejun denied it, but the dragons didn’t listen.

-Sejun, be careful how you act in front of Theo from now on.

-Yeah. Otherwise, Theo might collapse just like that.

No way. How could you say such nonsense?! Apologize to our Theo! And this isn’t something that can be controlled by willpower!

“Samyangju is out of stock.”

This was revenge for Theo!

-What?

“For the next three days, Samyangju is out of stock!”

Da-da-da.

Sejun, holding Theo, quickly descended the fountain and shouted at the dragons.

‘They probably won’t get angry since they have enough Samyangju for about 2 days anyway.’

And so, Sejun took such petty revenge on the dragons.

“Still, I need to feed him dinner.”

Sitting on the bed, Sejun laid Theo on his lap and brought some Churu to his mouth.

[You have awakened the Talent: Energy Diversion.] [Talent: Energy Drain has evolved into Energy Absorber.] [Black Tower’s Tower Farmer Park Sejun has tamed an Apostle of Destruction.]

He probably couldn’t even talk to them...

Sejun had enough power to be annihilated just by standing in front of an Apostle of Destruction.

“He’s obviously incredibly weak, though...”

It was something Emila could never understand.

“Well, since my strength has been restored thanks to the energy of creation, I’ll provide a bit more support.”

I believe in you! Park Sejun!

And so, Emila, unknowingly joined the great wave of “Trust and invest in Park Sejun” and issued a new quest to help Sejun’s growth.

***

“Huh? Did I fall asleep like this?”

Gororong.

Sejun spoke as he looked at Theo, who was snoring away comfortably, lying on his lap in a cross-legged position.

“Looks like he’s better now.”

Yesterday, Theo hadn’t snored at all while sleeping, but today he was snoring vigorously. Sejun patted Theo’s forehead.

“Meeooow...”

As if sensing Sejun’s hand, Theo rubbed his forehead against it in his sleep.

“Hehehe.”

Sejun left his hand on Theo’s forehead and played with it.

And then,

[The seal of the Earth’s Jewel has been broken.]

...

...

[Grass, the God of Grassland, teaches you a job skill – Laying Grass Lv. 1 to repay your kindness.]

“Huh? A job skill?”

Reading through the backlog of messages, Sejun hurried to check the skill.

[Job Skill – Laying Grass Lv. 1]

-Lay grass of uniform height over a 33 square meters area at once.

“Hm...”

Sejun, who had high expectations for the job skill, was a bit disappointed.

“Grass~nim, just 3.3 square meters.”

Though he wanted to complain and say 0.9 square meters, he held back because it was a job skill.

At that moment,

[A quest has been generated.]

[Quest: Plant 1 million Calamity Guardian Destruction Devourer seeds.]

Reward: Receive 5 drops of Growth Elixir for every 1 million Destruction Devourer seeds planted.

[A quest has been generated.]

[Quest: Achieve a population of 100 million Calamity Guardian Destruction Devourers.]

Reward: New Variety.

Two quests appeared in front of Sejun.

“Hm.”

So basically, it’s just telling me to work hard and plant more of them.

Since he was planning to do that anyway, nothing would change just because a quest appeared.

“But it does seem important to increase the number of Destruction Devourers.”

Then it’s time for enhancement!

To ensure they would be even more effective, Sejun decided to use the Enhancing Elixir on the seeds of the Destruction Devourer.

Drip.

As soon as the elixir dropped onto the seed, it was quickly absorbed.

Just as Sejun picked up the enhanced seed to check its options,

[The Calamity Guardian Destruction Devourer, is enhanced by the Enhancing Elixir.]

[The body of the Calamity Guardian Destruction Devourer, becomes tougher and more resilient.]

[The Calamity Guardian Destruction Devourer, now absorbs a greater amount of Energy of Destruction.]

A flood of messages poured in.

Although he only enhanced the seed, all Destruction Devourers were enhanced.

“What?”

Sejun was puzzled.

But then,

“Well, if it’s a good thing, it’s a good thing.”

He quickly dismissed it from his mind.

And then,

Step, step.

[The Scorching Cherries are grateful for the farmer’s footsteps and lend their strength.]

[Your Stamina stat potential increases from 4087 to 4088.]

He walked around the farm and headed to the cooking area to make breakfast.

***

74th floor of the Black Tower.

“Not many floors left now.”

Are there any cracks anywhere?

The King of Farming, who had barely climbed more than two-thirds of the Black Tower, was checking his bones for damage when,

“Huh?! Those people?!”

He saw Sejun’s group approaching from a distance.

A small white bird and a pink pig. It was Piyot and Uren.

“Great. Now I can relax a bit.”

Finally, the hardship ends, and happiness begins.

Clatter, clatter.

Thinking he could comfortably reach the 99th floor of the tower now, the King of Farming hurriedly got up to greet them.

Piyo!

[Ah! Seriously, Uren~nim!]

“Kkuik! Sorry!”

Piyot and Uren sped past the King of Farming without stopping to greet him.

And,

-Stop!!!

Three Apostles of Destruction were chasing after them.

Ah, right! Uren~nim is really unlucky...

The King of Farming belatedly recalled Uren’s misfortune.

“Damn it...”

He quickly started running after Piyot and Uren, doing his best to keep up.
