Chapter 406: Chapter 406
4th Floor of the Black Tower.
Hundreds of thousands of hunters formed a massive circle with a radius of 10km around the waypoint.
They were fighting against the Flesh Eaters that surrounded them.
Protecting the waypoint was extremely important because if the waypoint on the 4th floor was captured, there would be no way to come to the 4th floor in the future.
“Mages, prepare buffs!”
Fenrir growled, watching Theo and Cuengi approaching him with fierce expressions.
Despite his efforts, he only looked cute.
[Don’t come any closer! I’ll bite if you do!]
When his growl didn’t work, Fenrir barked noisily.
“Blackie, you’re noisy, meow! You really need to be punished, meow!”
[Cuengi will teach you what manners are!]
That only made his older brothers angrier.
[Hey! What are you doing?! Protect me!]
Fenrir, cornered, asked his butler, Sejun, for help.
“Hey? Blackie, did you just call me ‘Hey’ again?”
Sejun, feeling betrayed, didn’t help.
“Blackie, you have no manners, meow! You need to be disciplined, meow!”
[That’s right! CUengi will instill manners in you!]
Thus, Fenrir was forced to receive a manners patch through Theo and Cuengi’s punishment.
[I’m not Blackie! I’m Fenrir, the noble wolf who hunts gods and the 1st seat of apostle of destruction!]
Fenrir finally couldn’t hold it in and revealed his identity, but
“Puhuhut. If Blackie is Fenrir, then I’m Chairman Park, meow!”
[Hehehe. Then Cuengi is Grandpa Kaiser!]
They thought Fenrir’s words were just their cute younger brother boasting, having already seen the gigantic Fenrir on the 99th floor of the tower.
“From now on, be respectful to Chairman Park, meow!”
When Theo raised his paw at Fenrir’s words,
Fenrir shrank back and used formal language.
Fenrir’s manners patch was finally complete.
“But when did Blackie become able to talk?”
When Sejun asked Blackie.
Blackie didn’t respond. He still wasn’t used to his new name yet.
[Blackie, aren’t you answering Dad’s question?]
As Cuengi reached for the Rod of Justice from his pouch again,
Ah! My name is Blackie!
[I don’t know! It just happened suddenly!]
Blackie hurriedly answered, glancing nervously at Theo and Cuengi.
“I see. Blackie, nice to meet you. My name is Park Sejun.”
Sejun formally greeted Blackie, who could now communicate.
“Alright. Let’s go shopping now.”
Sejun picked up Blackie and put him in a sling bag, standing up.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, what do you want to buy, meow?! Tell me, and I’ll guide you to everything, meow!”
Theo, who had been to the shopping district many times, clung to Sejun’s leg and shouted.
“Then… let’s go to the blacksmith first.”
“Got it, meow! This way, meow!”
Theo pointed his paw towards the blacksmith shop.
Soon they arrived at the blacksmith shop.
“Ah! This is the lottery corner!”
Sejun was moved to see the blacksmith’s lottery corner, which he had only heard about.
Sejun asked the blacksmith’s employee to try the lottery.
“It’s 20 tower coins.”
The employee answered.
“Can you give me a discount…”
Knowing how much Theo had paid, Sejun was about to use his three-times bargaining skill.
Though he had plenty of money, he always told Theo to use this skill, so he needed to set an example.
[Cuengi will pay and negotiate!]
Enthusiastic Cuengi stepped forward. Cuengi will get a big discount and let Dad try the lottery with Cuengi’s pocket money!
“Then… 17 tower coins…”
As the employee began to negotiate, Cuengi took out the Rod of Justice from his snack pouch.
Cuengi, used words, not force.
Luckily, Cuengi didn’t hit the employee but lightly tapped his own paw with the rod.
However, it was only light to Cuengi; each tap shook the blacksmith shop.
“Wait a moment! Just for today, I’ll give it to you for half price, 10 tower coins!”
The employee hurriedly shouted, thinking the shop might collapse if the negotiation continued.
Kuehehehe. Kueng! Kueng!
[Hehehe. Dad, Cuengi will pay! Here you go!]
At the employee’s words, Cuengi proudly took out his precious 10 tower coins and paid.
[Hehehe. Dad, if you need anything, Cuengi will buy it all for you!]
At Sejun’s words, Cuengi proudly shouted while patting his pocket money pouch.
“Alright. I’ll take this.”
After much deliberation at the lottery corner, Sejun chose a dull stone knife.
→ Usage Restriction: Lv. 10
There was no particular reason. He was simply drawn to it.
“Vice Chairman Theo, how’s this?”
Sejun asked the golden-pawed Theo to confirm if he had chosen well.
“Puhuhut. As expected of Chairman Park, meow! It’s excellent, meow!”
“Huh? It’s excellent?”
‘I usually have bad luck though? This can’t be right?’
Sejun was puzzled by Theo’s praise.
‘I’ll find out soon enough.’
“Aileen, appraise this.”
Sejun sent the stone knife to Aileen.
Black Tower Administrator’s Area.
“Khehehehe. Just wait a moment, Sejun!”
Aileen hurriedly appraised the stone knife Sejun had sent.
The item’s name changed. The description said it was a divine relic of Patrick, the God of Earth.
“What?! This is a relic!”
As Aileen marveled at the Earth Blade,
An alert appeared in the crystal orb. Due to the God of War Battler, the condition had previously been unmet as divine relic was destroyed, but now it was fulfilled again.
“Khehehehe. As expected of our Sejun! Then the growth conditions…”
Originally, seven conditions had been met… so that makes 8?!
