Chapter 426: Chapter 426

Seed Shop Headquarters.

“World Tree, can you deliver this to Park Sejun?”

Uncle, the God of Grapevines, initially thought it would be easy to send the relic.

The World Tree was originally a grapevine, and on top of that, it had strong energy.

– Who do you think you are?!

The World Tree immediately spoke informally. It was extremely rude.

“Theo, give me another sausage skewer!”

Ophelia extended her hand to Theo again.

“There aren’t any more, meow! That was all, meow!”

The sausage skewer had accidentally ended up in Theo’s lunchbox, so that was all there was.

“Theo, bring a lot of sausage skewers tomorrow. Got it?”

“Puhuhut. Got it, meow! But Ophelia also needs to work hard too, meow! Chairman Park said that, slaves who don’t work hard don’t get to eat, meow!”

“Okay! I’ll work hard, so make sure to bring lots of sausages tomorrow! Got it?”

And so, Ophelia agreed to receive sausages from Theo.

As soon as she arrived on the 99th floor of the tower, she diligently sprinkled mugwort seeds and used her skills enthusiastically.

West side of the 99th floor of the Black Tower.

Cuengi roamed around the herb field with his nose to the ground.

Cuengi dug deep into the ground with his front paw and unearthed a red kudzu root.

[This is for Cuengi’s grandma!]

Cuengi carefully put the kudzu root he had just dug up into his snack pouch. He was gathering herbs to give to Sejun’s mother, Kim Mi-ran, as a gift.

Cuengi continued to dig up kudzu roots diligently.

A little while later,

[Dad, Cuengi is back!]

Cuengi, who had gathered a lot of herbs, returned home.

“Cuengi’s back, meow?”

Sejun, who had returned from work early, and Theo, who was hanging onto Sejun’s lap, welcomed Cuengi.

[Dad, look at this! This is a gift for Cuengi’s Grandma!]

Cuengi, who had arrived in front of Sejun, opened his snack pouch and proudly showed off the herbs he had dug up.

[Kudzu Root for Blood Circulation]

They all had effects like slightly raising body temperature, improving blood circulation, or making the body a bit sturdier, with all the grades being low, E or D.

However, for a non-hunter, these were just right.

“Oh, my. Oh, my. Our Cuengi is so good. Did you dig these up for your Grandma?”

As Sejun patted Cuengi’s bottom in praise for his commendable act,

‘Meow?! This is bad, meow! I haven’t prepared a gift for chairman’s chairman, meow!’

Seeing Cuengi’s gift, Theo suddenly became anxious.

“Chairman Park, I’ll go find a gift too, meow!”

Theo hurriedly used Meow Step to go down the tower.

Black Tower’s Administrator Area.

“Mother, please take care of me!”

Aileen was going to learn cooking from Kim Mi-ran starting today.

“Sure. Let’s do our best.”

“Yes! Mother! Oh, by the way, Sejun will be leaving the tower the day after tomorrow.”

“Really?! So, he’s coming home?!”

“Then I should prepare some of Sejun’s favorite foods tomorrow!”

“Mother, I want to learn to make Sejun’s favorite foods too!”

“Alright. Then tomorrow, I’ll teach you the foods Sejun likes.”

The atmosphere between the two was very good. Until they started cooking.

“Aileen, the fire seems too strong. You need to reduce it. It should be just hot enough to feel warm.”

Kim Mi-ran commented, seeing the almost metal-melting fire in the mirror.

“Yes! Just hot enough, right?”

Aileen, misunderstanding, increased the fire even more. For Aileen, the feeling of “just hot enough” was still far off.

“No, Aileen, I said to reduce the fire. The soy sauce has all evaporated.”

“No, there’s no need to be sorry, let’s try again.”

Aileen spent the entire 3 hours allowed by the Mirror of Longing practicing fire control until the cooking lesson ended.

Theo was hurriedly going down the tower to find a gift.

“Theo-nim, where are you going?”

He ran into Piyot and Uren, who were returning to the 99th floor of the tower.

“Puhuhut. Uren, lead the way, meow!”

“I don’t know, meow! Just go wherever you want, meow!”

“Where I want to go?”

At Theo’s words, Uren turned his steps towards the place he wanted to go.

Within 10 minutes, robbers appeared. Such was Uren’s incredible misfortune.

“Puhuhut. Stamp it, meow!”

Theo quickly subdued the robbers.

Piyot followed behind, getting the robbers’ stamps on the slave contracts.

Even though they wandered around the tower late into the night with Uren leading the way,

“Meow… it’s a failure, meow! When I think of chairman’s chairman, my front paws don’t get pulled, meow!”

The Golden Paw, which only activated for Sejun, didn’t work.

“Let’s just go home, meow…”

Theo, disappointed, returned to the 99th floor of the tower.

But Theo didn’t know that he had already given Sejun’s family a tremendous gift.

Theo’s share was considerable in the fact that Earth was not engulfed in destruction and that Sejun could leave the tower.

Theo entered the bedroom where Sejun and Blackie were sleeping.

He settled on Sejun’s lap and fell into a deep sleep, then

(Pip-pip! I need to find a gift! Pip-Step!)
