Chapter 487: Chapter 487
[TL Note: Before starting this chapter, I strongly recommend reading about the game of Go-stop, which will be played in this chapter, to better understand it. Link – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go-Stop]
Inside Sejun’s subconscious.
Sejun looked around at the suddenly changed surroundings.
The vast farmland stretched so far that the end couldn’t be seen, and it was filled with crops and fruits. A clear blue river flowed through the center of the farm.
Next to the river stood a small cabin. In front of it, Sejun’s farm companions was gathered, having a meal together.
The sky was layered with hues of blue and pink, creating a beautiful sight.
And so, after going around again, it was Sejun’s team’s turn.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, this is the one, meow! This will end it, meow!”
Sejun took the discarded card Uren had placed and used it to take a one gwang card, ending the game.
“It’s ppeok, so hand over one ‘pi’ card each.”
Aileen collected a card from each of the three teams.
“10 points… 3 ‘Gwang,’ Hong dan, and 1 Go, so… 17 points. Stop.”
After calculating the score, Aileen announced.
“Cuengi’s team is ‘pi-bak’, so 34 dried sweet potato chips, and the other teams are both ‘gwang-bak’ and ‘pi-bak’, so 68 chips each, please.”
She collected the dried sweet potato chips, which were the stakes of the game.
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. So exciting! My Butler won again!]
“Sejun-nim, fighting!”
Blackie and his subordinates cheered as they watched the pile of dried sweet potato chips growing into a mountain beside Sejun.
After Sejun’s team’s third consecutive win,
The 300 pieces of dried sweet potato chips that had been distributed to each team at the start of the game had all returned to Sejun.
-Ahem. Then we should go drink. Theo, you come along too.
[It seems we should also go for some special training.]
“Uren hyung, didn’t we have something to do too?”
The dragons, Minotaur King, and Bayon wisely excused themselves from the scene.
“Meow?! Hybrid Vice Chairman Theo doesn’t drink alcohol, even with the dragon-nims, meow!”
[Cuengi is going to play with dad today instead of special training!]
“Bayon, did we have something to do?”
Of course, there were some clueless ones trying to linger, but thanks to the helpers who were trying to assist with Sejun and Aileen’s date, they were quickly dealt with.
Finally, Sejun and Aileen were left alone.
“…Shall we take a walk?”
As they walked, they exchanged trivial, light-hearted conversations, but laughter never left their faces.
The mood was ripening.
Realizing there wasn’t much time left, Sejun stopped walking and called Aileen’s name.
Aileen also stopped walking and looked at Sejun with a shy expression.
I don’t know when we’ll be able to face each other again.
There might never be a moment again.
“Thank you for calling me to the tower. And, would you go out wi….”
Sejun, summoning all his courage, looked directly at Aileen and started saying what he had always wanted to say.
-Kahahaha! Sejun, I’ve brought the guy who swallowed your reward!
Kaiser, who had flown to the Silver Tower and captured Kwin, appeared, drowning out Sejun’s voice.
(Will you go out with me?)
Aileen, who had been focused solely on Sejun, managed to catch his words with all her senses.
“Yes! I’ll go out with you!”
Aileen quickly kissed Sejun on the lips and rushed back to the Administrator’s area.
Of course, Aileen, who almost missed receiving the confession, got angry at Kaiser as soon as she returned, and
In an effort to soothe Aileen, Kaiser abandoned Kwin and quickly retreated to the Administrator’s area as well.
“The Great Hybrid Chairman Park has passed out again, meow!”
Theo, who had been at the fountain, quickly ran over to Sejun, who had fainted while standing.
The safe zone only protected Sejun from being affected by others’ auras, but physical contact was another story.
Fortunately, thanks to Sejun’s newly acquired talent, Master of Deflection, which deflected 99% of Aileen’s ‘attack’(?), he survived once again.
“Puhuhut. As expected, Chairman Park is truly great, meow! He survived even after touching Aileen noona, meow!”
Seeing that Sejun had only fainted after physical contact with Aileen, Theo’s respect for him grew even more.
But his face has gotten even more ugly, meow!
Theo started massaging Sejun’s face diligently.
Sejun regained consciousness.
“Yes. And exchange the remaining grapes for Blessed Grape Wine.”
Before the harvest festival ended, Sejun went to the exchange shop and used all the Harvest Festival Commemorative Grapes.
“Here, take this with you.”
“Thank you, Sejun-nim!”
He prepared for farewell by distributing food to the foxes who were returning.
[The 1,000 foxes summoned from the Nine Towers during the harvest festival return to their daily lives.]
As the harvest festival ended, the foxes returned to the places where they lived.
Once the festival concluded, the residents of the Black Tower who had come up to the 99th floor to participate in the Harvest Festival also began to descend the tower one by one.
“Hey guys, hold on a second.”
Sejun called out to the black bears from Kueng gang who were on their way down to the 1st floor.
“Take these and tell the skeletons to sell them.”
Sejun handed the black bears 1,000 Seedless Grapes for Beginners, the reward for the Grape Harvest Contest, and said,
“Oh, and make sure to give 100 of them to Kyung-chul, got it?”
Sejun felt that the previous gift to Kyung-chul, who had introduced him to Flamie, wasn’t enough, so he decided to give an additional present.
“Yes! Leave it to us! We’ll make sure to deliver it!”
With that, the residents and Kueng gang’s black bears descended the tower, leaving the farm in peaceful silence.
Suddenly, the wind began to blow.
Sejun said as he stretched out his arms, enjoying the breeze.
But soon, the wind grew stronger and more turbulent.
“Grrrr. I’ll kill you all!”
Kwin, whose madness had worsened while he was unconscious, had gone berserk.
Of course, there were many kind helpers here who could calm the madness.
The wind quickly settled down.
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. It’s time for the great Blackie to step in!]
