Chapter 456: Chapter 456
During this time, Sejun continued to load the Magical Cherry Tomatoes onto the Golden Cart and sent them away.
Although he didn’t receive any payment for the Cherry Tomatoes since the Land Deed for the 35th floor of the Golden Tower was the trade-off, he was able to cover the transportation costs by selling all the inedible items like lightning-struck wood and lightning stones to the trading partner in the Golden Tower.
“Hehehe. I finally got it.”
Sejun obtained the Land Deed for the 35th floor of the Golden Tower.
“Congratulations, Chairman Park, meow! Puhuhut. Of course, it’s all thanks to me, meow!”
As expected, Theo never missed a chance to brag, even if it was just a little.
“Yeah, yeah. It’s all thanks to our Vice Chairman Theo.”
Iona, who was wrapped around Theo’s tail, and Eomdol and Ggomi, who were clinging to Blackie’s fur, came along automatically.
With the group in tow, Sejun headed outside.
First, he looked for the reward from Tan, the God of Charcoal.
He discovered 100 pieces of charcoal, each as thick as a calf, between the cornfield and the sweet potato field.
→ This charcoal is a product personally made by Tan, the God of Charcoal.
→ It purifies the air within a 1km radius.
→ If washed thoroughly with holy water, it can be reused at 50% of its original effectiveness.
→ Creator: Tan, the God of Charcoal
“Hm… Let’s put one in the bathroom for now.”
So, Sejun placed one piece of Purifying Charcoal in the bathroom.
“Oh! The air’s much fresher now.”
He could immediately feel the difference.
Tan-nim gets 22 square meters.
-Tan, the God of Charcoal, who gave us Purifying Charcoal as a gift so we could enjoy fresh air even in the bathroom. He was a considerate god.
After creating the Tan Road, Sejun entered the Void Storage.
He was welcomed by the Destruction Devourers as he checked the crops he had planted inside the Apostle of Destruction’s body.
“Nice. The pine nuts are all grown.”
He saw that the pine nuts had grown tall on the pine trees, hanging like pine cones.
I’ll harvest them later.
Sejun then checked the plum tree that he had planted after breaking the amber and taking out the plum seed inside.
“Oh, the plums have all grown.”
When Sejun picked a plum,
[You have harvested a plum.]
[You’re a Field Lv. 6 has been activated, dealing additional damage.]
There was no special effect.
“So what? As long as it tastes good, that’s all that matters.”
Sejun took a bite of the plum.
Sejun quickly finished eating the plum.
“They’re not showing any signs of growth.”
He looked at the spots where the Dragon Fruit and the All-Devouring Jelly were planted.
Whether it was because they were of Transcendence grade and thus slow to grow, or if some other condition was needed for germination, there were still no signs of sprouting.
After watering the two Transcendence grade seeds, Sejun said,
“Alright, Spit out the seeds!”
Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!
Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!
Sejun received the seeds from the Destruction Devourers and then went off to have breakfast.
“Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot. Of course! Leave it to me!”
While eating, Sejun asked Iona to accompany him to the Golden Tower to block the lightning, and she readily agreed.
[Sejun-nim, please take me with you too!]
I’ll serve as Theo-nim’s right front paw!
Piyot flapped his wings and shouted.
“Puhuhut. Piyot is my right front paw, so of course you’re coming along, meow! And Uren, who is my left front paw, is coming too, meow!”
“Kuik?! I’m going too?!”
Uren, who originally hailed from the Golden Tower, was surprised by Theo’s words.
‘I haven’t collected all the money yet, should I really go?’
Dad said not to come back until I received all the money…
‘No, this might actually be a good thing. If I happen to run into Magin, I can confirm it directly.’
Uren had been gathering information about those on the blacklist while going around collecting money with Piyot.
“What?! Evis, Madaf, and Nellie have all become Magin’s subordinates?!”
Recently, Uren heard some shocking news.
The top three on the blacklist were all working as subordinates for his relative, Magin Daemon.
Moreover, after a thorough investigation, it was revealed that they had been cleaning up for Magin for decades.
Magin had used his subordinates to scam Uren.
However, there was still only circumstantial evidence.
So he was planning to gather more solid information before making a move, but…
‘Perhaps now is a better time, with Sejun-nim and Theo-nim coming along.’
If he went alone, he didn’t know what misfortune might befall him.
Honestly, he wasn’t confident either…
Thus, Uren made up his mind to return to the Golden Tower.
“But do you have any measures against the lightning in the Golden Tower?”
I should share some insider tips from the Golden Tower.
“Iona said she’d take care of everything, didn’t she?”
“Kyoo, are you doubting me?!”
“Kuik! Absolutely not!”
Uren, who had been too busy eating to listen until now, hurriedly apologized to Iona.
“So what’s the method?”
Still, thinking there might be a useful method, Sejun asked Uren.
Uren proudly showed off his thick belly fat.
“Thick fat. If you have this, you’ll be fine even if struck by lightning.”
The Daemon family, the most prestigious family in the Golden Tower.
The Daemon family’s immense wealth was largely due to their bodies, which had such thick fat that electricity couldn’t pass through it.
Thanks to this, they were able to monopolize the logistics of the Golden Tower and amass enormous wealth.
Sejun fell into thought at Uren’s words.
Come to think of it, electric eels also have thick fat to block the electricity they generate…
“Would that even work?!”
That’s just your unique trait!
Realizing that Uren didn’t have a good method to protect against lightning, Sejun sighed.
“Everyone, gather up!”
Sejun called his companions into the Void Storage.
“If you get bored, pick some pine nuts.”
He subtly hinted at them to do some work.
He closed the Void Storage.
“Aileen, I’m going to visit the Golden Tower for a bit.”
[The Tower Administrator says to have a safe trip.]
He couldn’t bring himself to say not to worry because he knew that to Aileen, he seemed like someone who might burst at a touch.
It’s a bit sad. I need to get stronger quickly.
After once again strengthening his resolve to become stronger,
Sejun unfolded the Land Deed for the 35th floor of the Golden Tower.
[The summoning function for the initial engraving of the land deed of the 35th-floor of the Golden Tower has been activated.]
With that message, Sejun disappeared.
At the outskirts of Destruction.
It had been four days since Halphas had summoned the Apostles of Destruction.
Halphas was still alone.
“Those bastards! Why is no one coming?!”
