Chapter 400: Chapter 400
“Ahem. Theo Park~nim, you have passed the first stage of the Legendary Merchant promotion test. Congratulations.”
Mason, who had witnessed the unbelievable sight of a three-digit fame score, announced Theo’s passing of the test while still somewhat dazed.
“Puhuhut. Thank you, meow! Chairman Park, we did it, meow!”
Theo said in a bright voice, rubbing his face against Sejun’s knee.
With his right front paw, he patted Iona’s head, who was hanging on his tail.
‘Let’s see how good Theo Park’s luck is.’
Mason watched Theo’s scroll with great interest.
Mason looked at the red letters on the scroll with a disappointed expression.
[1 Phoenix Tail Feather]
Of all things, the first item was the difficult-to-obtain Phoenix Tail Feather. It could take all three months just to find this one.
Some merchants are . They have good luck usually, but in critical moments, they are unlucky.
As Mason anticipated Theo’s failure in the legendary merchant promotion test like that,
“Vice Chairman Theo, here.”
Sejun handed a red feather to Theo.
“Puhuhut. Thanks, Chairman Park, meow!”
When Theo placed the feather from Sejun onto the scroll,
The feather disappeared, and the writing on the scroll vanished, showing the word ‘Passed.’
“Puhuhut. That was too easy, meow!”
When the excited Theo opened the second scroll,
Mason was so shocked that he couldn’t close his mouth.
How did he prepare the Phoenix’s tail feather in advance as if he had seen the future?
He really seemed to have good luck.
As Mason acknowledged Theo as a lucky, the letters stopped.
The color indicating the impossible difficulty of obtaining an item.
Did he use up all his luck at the beginning… This will be tough.
This time, Mason was 100% sure Theo would fail.
[1 Branch of the World Tree]
Because, as far as he knew, there was no World Tree in the Black Tower. It was an item that couldn’t be obtained no matter the effort.
“Vice Chairman Theo, here.”
Sejun took out a branch of Podori that he had stored in the Void Storage and handed it to Theo.
“Puhuhut. Thank you, Chairman Park, meow!”
When Theo placed the branch on the second scroll, the word ‘Passed’ appeared.
The third scroll showed red letters.
[1 Staff of Calamity]
“Iona, give me the staff, meow! I’ll get you a better one later, meow!”
“Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot. Yes!”
He passed without any tension at all.
The fourth scroll was black again.
The Red Bone Club didn’t mean just any red-colored bone; it meant the favorite weapon of the Minotaur King.
It was impossible to take the favorite weapon from the strongest being in the Black Tower.
[Cuengi has a red bone club!]
Cuengi took out a red stick from his snack pouch.
The Minotaur King had thrown it away, saying he didn’t need it, and Cuengi had kept it in his snack pouch to use as a toy.
Clearly, the world was desperately trying to prevent Theo from becoming a Legendary Merchant, but
“Puhuhut. It’s too easy, meow!”
Theo lightly dismissed the world’s resistance.
‘Am I dreaming right now?’
Mason couldn’t grasp what was happening before his eyes.
What was even more astonishing was that Theo hadn’t even gone out once to gather the items, and it hadn’t even been an hour since the Legendary Merchant promotion test started.
It was truly unbelievable.
“Puhuhut. Now it’s the last one, meow!”
In the meantime, Theo opened the fifth scroll.
A dazzling light burst from the scroll.
Was there such a color?
Mason was astonished. Even though he had overseen multiple Legendary Merchant promotion tests, it was the first time he saw this color.
It was certain. The world did not want Theo to become a Legendary Merchant.
[10,000 Scales of the Great Black Dragon]
It wouldn’t ask for such an impossible item.
Even though Theo was a subordinate of the Great Dragon, no dragon would give away 10,000 of their scales… What?!
“Vice Chairman Theo, here.”
“Puhuhut. Thank you, Chairman Park, meow!”
Sejun took out 10,000 scales of the Great Black Dragon from the Void Storage and handed them to Theo, and the word ‘Passed’ appeared on the fifth scroll as well.
As he finished obtaining all the items like that,
The scrolls numbered 1 to 5 floated into the air and began to merge into one.
Mason watched in a daze as the extremely difficult items combined. He couldn’t imagine what kind of item would come out.
While Mason was watching the items combine,
“Mason, am I a Legendary Merchant now, meow?!”
“Ah, yes. Now, Theo~nim is the fourth Legendary Merchant of the Black Tower.”
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow! Chairman Park, I’m a Legendary Merchant now, meow!”
Theo, who received Mason’s acknowledgment, quickly ran to Sejun. I’ll receive congratulations from Chairman Park first, meow!
“Vice Chairman Theo, congrats on becoming a Legendary Merchant.”
“Puhuhut. I’m so happy, meow!”
Passing the Legendary Merchant promotion test with Sejun and receiving congratulations made Theo extremely happy.
[Big brother, congrats on becoming a Legendary Merchant!]
“Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot. Theo~nim, congratulations on becoming a Legendary Merchant.”
Cuengi and Iona also congratulated Theo.
“Puhuhut. Thank you, meow! From now on, call me Legendary Merchant Theo Park, meow!
The atmosphere was incredibly cheerful.
