Chapter 492: Chapter 492
Seed Shop Headquarters.
Dark, the God of Darkness, glanced around and spoke.
His first impression of the Seed Shop Headquarters was…
It was utterly disappointing.
The walls were made of mud, and the roof was thatched with grass.
It seemed to be a building crafted by a reasonably skilled artisan, but since the materials were subpar, it couldn’t help but look shabby.
“Your name is Uri. Uri, thank you for protecting the vineyard all this time.”
As Sejun gave the grapevine its name,
The grapevine crumbled away, leaving only the name “Uri” behind before vanishing.
Even though the quest was completed, Sejun didn’t feel happy at all.
Feeling down, Sejun let out a sigh as he stood up and gazed at the sky.
“Chairman Park, meow?”
“Really, meow? Then is it raining, meow?”
Theo curiously wondered about the identity of the droplet that fell on his head.
Sejun arrived on the 99th floor, setting the Dragon Horn’s Return Bracelet to relative coordinates to register the 99th floor waypoint.
“Welcome! Sejun-nim! We’ve been waiting for you!”
Darius, the boss of the 99th floor, greeted Sejun with utmost respect.
‘Kaiser-nim said he had already talked with Crisella-nim…’
I’ll have to gift him some Samyangju later.
Sejun felt grateful to Kaiser as he looked at Darius waiting for him, but he was mistaken.
In reality, Crisella had agreed to help Sejun under the condition that Flamie would deliver updates about Stella to her. The reason Kaiser had been able to bring Kwin along was also due to Crisella, the administrator of the Silver Tower, wanting to assist Sejun.
“Yeah. Good to see you, Darius.”
After greeting Darius, Sejun placed his hand on the red crystal.
[You have achieved the feat of clearing the Silver Tower in addition to the Black Tower, White Tower, Green Tower, and Gold Tower.]
[You have obtained the title as a reward for this achievement.]
[With the effect of , the waypoints of the 99th floors of the five towers are now linked.]
[With the effect of , the effect of the increases fivefold in conquered towers.]
[With the effect of , you gain 1 second of invincibility when descending from the tower.]
A series of messages appeared.
The Retrogressor effect multiplied by five and 1 second of invincibility after descending a floor?
Sejun laughed as he read the effects of .
It would have been perfect if it ended there, but…
[The name of Park Sejun of the Black Tower is starting to spread across the Nine Towers.]
[Future rewards for achievements will be reduced.]
More messages followed.
As Sejun’s reputation grew, expectations about his future achievements in the towers naturally increased, leading to a reduction in rewards.
You damn system! Another unfair scheme?!
Of course, Sejun didn’t see it that way.
“Meow! The great hybrid Chairman Park is being bullied again, meow! I’m going to punish the system, meow!”
I need to raise my impeachment power, meow!
Theo, angered by the system just like Sejun, began thinking of ways to punish it.
While Theo was thinking of how to punish the system,
Sejun, receiving Darius’s polite farewell, returned to the 99th floor of the Black Tower.
10th Tower Administrator’s Area.
“Patrick-nim! I’ve found both pieces of the door leading to the 10th tower!”
Hamer shouted as he put down the huge soul pressing stone he was carrying.
“Who told you to put that down?”
Under Patrick’s cold gaze, Hamer hurriedly lifted the soul pressing stone again.
“Quickly inform Park Sejun of the locations of the two pieces.”
Following Patrick’s orders, Hamer quickly informed Sejun of the locations of the two pieces leading to the 10th Tower and issued a quest.
“Uh… Patrick-nim, can I put this down now?”
Hamer, trying to sneakily put down the soul pressing stone, looked to Patrick for permission.
“No. Keep holding it until Park Sejun finds both pieces.”
Patrick didn’t give him the go-ahead.
Park Sejun! Hurry up! Quick! Quick!
Eager to put down the soul pressing stone, Hamer became anxious and began urging Sejun to hurry.
But Sejun, annoyed by the pressure, had already blocked Hamer’s communication, resulting in the opposite effect.
Black Tower, 99th Floor.
Sejun cheerfully announced as he arrived home.
“Thankfully, I made it before the Blue Moon starts. Cuengi, can you make some coffee?”
As Sejun and his companions enjoyed coffee under the starlit night sky, waiting for the Blue Moon to rise,
[Quest: Hamer, the God of Farming, informs you about the locations of the two pieces of the door leading to the 10th tower that haven’t been found yet. Find the remaining two door pieces and complete the door leading to the 10th tower.]
Black Tower 59th Floor 0/1
Black Tower 94th Floor 0/1
A quest window appeared before Sejun.
There’s no quest reward?!
This was the first time he’d encountered such a quest since Aileen.
“Ah well. I’ll do it later if I feel like it.”
Disappointed, Sejun closed the quest window and continued drinking his coffee.
[Hamer, the God of Farming, urges you to complete the quest quickly! Quickly!]
Hamer began pestering Sejun to hurry up with the quest.
Even though there’s no reward, now you’re rushing me?
I had a weird feeling about this before…
As Sejun blocked Hamer,
“Ah… Hello. I’m Uri, the newly appointed God of Loneliness.”
For the first time since the Seed Shop Headquarters was established, a newly born god had appeared.
