Chapter 509: Chapter 509
Seed Shop Headquarters.
[Divine Power increases by 5.]
[The first subordinate of the third Apostle of Creation, Blackie Park, Eomdol, witnesses your temple.]
“Puhuhut. Does that mean we’re going on a picnic, meow?!”
As soon as Sejun spoke, Theo rushed off, eagerly packing his bag.
[It’s picnic! If we’re going on a picnic, we need snacks!]
[Hehe. I need to pack the roasted and dried sweet potatoes I hid!]
Cuengi and Blackie family began busily packing snacks.
Thus, the journey to get coffee beans suddenly turned into a picnic.
“Sejun No.1, let’s make some rice balls.”
Sejun also started making rice balls with Sejun No.1, preparing for the trip.
Ajax had harvested something, sending Sejun some job experience and skill proficiency.
While Sejun was feeling pleased seeing the message
[Due to the effect of , you receive 1% of the job experience and Harvesting skill proficiency acquired by Cecilia, Golden Tower’s Tower Farmer.]
More messages followed as the other Tower Farmers seemed to have started working.
By then, Cuengi and Blackie had finished preparing for the picnic and were urging Sejun outside.
“Okay, okay. I’m coming. Aileen, eat this.”
Sejun quickly sent a heart-shaped rice ball to Aileen, making sure no one else noticed.
Puhuhut. If the great hybrid Chairman Park is doing it, it must be something good, meow! I should make the same thing and give it to Iona, meow!
Theo, who was clinging to Sejun’s knee, also started shaping his own ball of fur with his front paws, making a heart shape.
Sejun, having arrived at the waypoint, moved to the 94th floor of the tower, where the coffee plantation was located.
“Eh?! Just a moment ago, Hegel-nim went up to the 99th floor to bring you some coffee, Sejun-nim.”
I could’ve just waited then.
They missed each other.
“Ninir, can I get some coffee? I couldn’t have my morning coffee.”
“Yes! Just a moment.”
Upon Sejun’s request, Ninir brewed some coffee and brought it to him.
“Oh! This is really good!”
He couldn’t help but exclaim at the taste of the coffee.
“Niheheh. What you just drank is the finest coffee we’ll be selling soon, the Sejun 94 Chikasan Black Tower.”
“Huh?! But why does the coffee variety have my name in it?”
“Well, because Sejun-nim’s name means ‘the best’, of course.”
“Ah come on. ‘The best’… I’m not that great…”
Sejun tried to act modest.
Hehehe. My name means the best.
The corners of Sejun’s mouth curled up into a crescent moon, rising high.
Perhaps due to the praise, the coffee tasted even better. Plus, the magnificent view from the top of the mountain added to the experience.
“Meow meow meow. Chairman Park, pet me more, meow!”
While Sejun, feeling good, petted Theo, who had sprawled belly-up on his lap, and sipped his coffee,
Cuengi and Blackie family ran around Chikasan as if it were their home, playing joyfully.
Cuengi, lifting a stone to see if there was anything underneath, discovered a hole that seemed endlessly deep.
[Hehe. It’s adventure time!]
Blackie leaped into the hole without hesitation.
[No! Blackie, it’s dangerous!]
Cuengi’s telekinesis caught Blackie mid-air, suspending him.
We go on adventures with Dad!
Cuengi gathered Blackie family and ran toward Sejun.
90th Floor of the Black Tower.
“Kyoo-kyoo-so you’re saying someone robbed Dev-nim’s warehouse a week ago?”
Iona, her voice filled with frustration, asked the massive hippopotamus in front of her.
I was about to go to Theo-nim!
Iona had finally managed to delegate a task completely to Blackster, giving her some free time to go visit Theo. But then,
“Iona-nim, we’ve received a message from Dev-nim on the 90th floor of the tower!”
Dev, the boss of the 90th floor, where the former Gravity Tower had once been, had asked for help, having once offered them aid in the past.
With disappointment in her heart, Iona made her way down to the 90th floor.
“Yes… that’s correct.”
Noma, the butler at Dev’s mansion, answered Iona’s question in a trembling voice.
“Kyoo-kyoo-Lead me to the warehouse.”
Following Noma’s guidance, Iona headed to the warehouse that had been robbed.
“Power of mana, uncover the traces. Detect.”
I need to finish this quickly and go to Theo-nim.
She used magic to start searching for any traces left by the thief.
Kyoot-kyoot-kyoot. Found it. There are traces of a teleportation magic circle leading to the 94th floor of the tower.
The 94th floor is nearby! And I can even sense Theo-nim’s presence there!
Iona’s voice, which had been filled with frustration, now burst into a bright, cheerful tone.
Kyoot-kyoot-kyoot. Then I’ll depart right away! Teleport!
I’ll catch the thief and see Theo-nim too!
Quickly, she activated her magic.
“Oh. It’s pretty deep here,”
Sejun said as he slowly descended into the hole, holding Cuengi, who was using his telekinesis. He looked down below as they went further.
Even after about 10 minutes of descending, the bottom was still nowhere in sight.
Though he was scared,
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I feel a pull from below, meow!”
Encouraged by Theo’s words, Sejun mustered the courage to continue going down into the hole.
A loud explosion echoed from below, and a powerful updraft suddenly surged, engulfing Sejun and his companions.
“Meow?! I feel Iona’s presence from down below, meow!”
Iona is in danger, meow!
