Chapter 491: Chapter 491
On the set of a advertisement filming in the U.S.
“Alright, Miel, just relax and act as naturally as possible.”
At the director’s words, Miel confidently responded and began her acting.
“You evil monster! Take my Pineapple Bomb! You’ll explode from the deliciousness!”
Miel threw a pineapple at the giant leech costume as she delivered her scripted lines.
[Your proficiency of Weed Pulling Lv. 2 has been filled, and the level increases.]
A string of messages appeared. His experience points, Agility stat, and Weed Pulling skill proficiency had all increased.
“No. Why Weed Pulling?”
As Sejun regretted that the skill that leveled up was Weed Pulling, which had now reached level 7,
The World Tree, having finished weaving the net, spoke to him.
Sejun placed his hand on the tree he was standing on and responded.
[Sejun~nim, I don’t have a name! Please give me a name!]
The World Tree boldly asked Sejun to name it.
When Sejun agreed to give it a name,
Hehe. I wonder what name he’ll come up with!
With eyes full of anticipation, Blackie and the others pricked their ears, focusing on what terrible name might come out of Sejun’s mouth.
Since it’s a grapevine World Tree, so… Pose. [TL: Combination of the first letters from both Grapevine (포도나무) and World Tree (세계수) = Pose (포세)]
[Pose… I love it so much!]
The newly-named Pose responded with a joyful voice.
If Podori, the other grapevine, had heard this, it would’ve felt quite unfair.
If Podori had been the World Tree from the beginning, it would have received the name Pose. However, when Sejun first met Podori, it wasn’t a World Tree yet.
There’s also one more thing Podori doesn’t know: If its personality had been female, the name “Posun” would have been waiting for it.
[Butler, I’m disappointed…]
“Sejun~nim, your naming skills aren’t what they used to be.”
“That’s right. Sejun-nim has lost his touch.”
Blackie and the underlings were disappointed after hearing the ‘wonderful’ name, Pose. Especially Karurur, who seemed even more let down.
[Sejun~nim, Pose has grown some grapes, so please enjoy them! Hiyup!]
With a cute shout from Pose, green grapes-not purple-started to grow on the vines.
“Green grapes? I’ll enjoy them.”
When Sejun picked a bunch of grapes,
[Your job experience has slightly increased.]
[Your proficiency of Harvesting Lv. 9 has slightly increased.]
[You have gained 2000 experience points.]
A harvest message appeared.
Could they also be bitter, by any chance?
With a worried expression, Sejun checked the grape’s options.
→ These are grapes that the World Tree, Pose, has removed the seeds from, especially for the Tower Farmer of the Black Tower, Park Sejun.
→ Even eating just one grape will provide sufficient nutrition.
→ Upon consumption, all stats increase by 1, and a feeling of fullness is maintained for 6 hours. (If total stats exceed 10,000, all stats will increase by 0.01.)
→ Cultivator: Park Sejun, Tower Farmer of the Black Tower
→ Shelf Life: 150 days
It removed the seeds just for me. How thoughtful.
Sejun felt better after reading the description.
The fact that consuming the grapes would only increase all stats by 0.01 didn’t really matter. He could increase those stats by eating other things.
But how do they taste?!
Trusting Pose’s thoughtfulness, Sejun boldly put a grape in his mouth.
There was no bitterness. Instead, the unique aroma of grapes combined with a strong sweetness and tartness, making it delicious.
[Ihehehe. There’s plenty, so have more!]
Pose laughed with a peculiar giggle, clearly pleased by Sejun’s compliment.
Suddenly, Pose shouted fiercely.
You just told me to eat them, didn’t you? Pose, don’t tell me you have a split personality?
As Sejun hesitated and slowly put the grape down,
[Ah… no, not you, Sejun~nim. I meant those guys.]
Pose hurriedly explained, pointing with its branches at the Silver Tower residents eyeing the grapes.
[Only those who are Sejun~nim’s employees can eat my grapes! So, if anyone wants to eat grapes, hurry and go to Theo~nim to get a stamp!]
It seemed like Pose had received some early education somewhere, as it started recruiting employees on its own.
[You have made a one-year employee contract with the other party.]
“Puhuhut. Welcome to Sejun Company, meow!”
Thanks to this, Theo enthusiastically stamped the Silver Tower residents.
Meanwhile, Sejun played with Cuengi and Blackie on Pose, comfortably increasing the number of employees.
A little while later,
“Puhuhut. Pose, you’re very impressive, meow! As a special honor, I, Hybrid Legendary Merchant Theo Park, will make you a Legendary Merchant, meow! Hel~nim, please make Pose a Legendary Merchant too, meow!”
Theo, seeing Pose’s potential as a Legendary Merchant, recommended it for the title.
“If you refuse, you’ll be impeached, meow!”
As expected of the Serial Impeachment Blackmailer, Theo didn’t forget to add a threat.
The system rejected the request.
Thanks to the system’s intervention, Hel, the God of Merchants, narrowly escaped the threat of impeachment.
“Meow! I don’t like the system, meow!”
It never listens to me, and it’s always bullies our great Hybrid Chairman Park, meow! One day, I’ll definitely gain system access and give it a good scolding, meow!
Determined to punish the system someday, Theo made up his mind.
In order to grow stronger, I need Chairman Park’s lap, meow!
Theo snuggled up on Sejun’s lap, beginning his energy recharge.
Outskirts of Destruction.
“Kekeke. Finally, I get to sit here!”
With Fenrir and Halphas, followed by Jǫrmungandr who was in the process of resurrection after being defeated by the dragons, the next in line, Melpheus, the Demon of Ruin and 4th seat of the Apostles of Destruction began commanding Destruction.
I’ve been wanting to do this for so long.
Melpheus started controlling calamities to bring distruction to the world.
