Chapter 518: Chapter 518
99th floor of the Black Tower.
(Pip-pip. Good night, everyone!)
Having slept well, Paespaes started its activities.
As usual, it headed to the kitchen to eat some fruit.
I’ll use this one day to go on journey with Sejun-nim!
Paespaes, dreaming of the day it would travel through dimensions with Sejun, continued to open and close the dimensional gate, gradually increasing its size.
As it was exploring various dimensions,
As Sejun petted Cuengi’s head and strolled around the farm,
[Sejun-nim, good morning!]
Piyot, who had also woken up, flapped his wings energetically, rising to eye level with Sejun and greeting him.
“Yeah. Did you sleep well?”
Piyot answered Sejun’s question with an energetic voice.
“Meoooow! Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I slept well too, meow!”
Theo stretched and replied just as energetically.
When Sejun patted Theo’s head after he woke up
Theo rubbed his head enthusiastically against Sejun’s hand.
[Theo-nim, please use this!]
Piyot offered a pouch of money, about the size of his body, to Theo.
It was the pouch of money Piyot had collected as a commission from capturing debtors on Uren’s blacklist.
“Puhuhut. Thank you, Piyot, meow!”
Just as Sejun stroked Piyot’s head like he had with Theo, Theo petted Piyot’s head and opened the pouch.
“Meow?! Why is there so much money in here, meow?!”
Inside was nearly 10 trillion Tower Coins.
Theo was shocked at the amount of money in the pouch he received.
[I got all the people on Uren-nim’s blacklist!]
Piyot puffed out his chest with pride.
“Meow?! You caught everyone on the blacklist, meow?!”
[Yes! Didn’t I do well?!]
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, here, take this money, meow! Piyot, you did an excellent job, meow! As a special reward, I grant you a three-hour pass to ride on Vice Chairman Theo’s head, meow!”
After handing the pouch of money to Sejun, Theo lifted Piyot onto his head.
[Really?! I can ride on Theo-nim’s head! I’m so honored!]
Piyot was deeply moved, perched on Theo’s soft, fluffy head.
Puhuhut. Finally, we’re going to Uren’s place, meow! I heard Uren’s family got a lot of money, meow!
With Piyot on his head, Theo had a mischievous grin on his face.
Even without Uren’s request, Theo had been planning for a while to visit Uren’s house.
While Theo and Piyot were grinning for very different reasons, Sejun headed to the kitchen.
When Sejun arrived, he found a neat array of dishes on the table, prepared by Sejun No. 1 clone: white rice, grilled Spam, fried eggs, stir-fried potatoes, and other side dishes, all ready just in time.
“Cuengi, could you go bring Uren…?”
As Sejun asked Cuengi to bring Uren, since Piyot was happily perched on Theo’s head,
A loud crash sounded from outside.
Sejun rushed outside.
Sejun’s house had collapsed.
“Uhehehe. The house collapsed today, huh?”
Amid the rubble, Uren emerged from the debris as if it was nothing unusual.
As expected, Uren, the King of Misfortune, had once again started the day with misfortune.
Using his skill, Sejun rebuilt the house, and the group sat down to eat breakfast.
[Hehehe. Putting spam on rice and then a fried egg on top is delicious!]
“Uhehe. It’s also tasty if you put Spam on the spoon, then add rice on top, and then another layer of Spam!”
Cuengi and Uren experimented with various combinations, trying to find the ultimate taste.
[Hehe. Butler! Eating roasted and dried sweet potato slices with white rice is so good!]
For the Blackie family, roasted and dried sweet potato slices were always the main dish.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, the grilled fish you made is delicious, meow!”
[I love peanuts so much!]
For Theo and Piyot, grilled fish and peanuts were a must.
As the group continued to enjoy their meal,
[The Rice-as-Medicine effect has been triggered.]
[Your total stats will randomly increase by 100, randomly distributed among Strength, Stamina, Agility, and Magic.]
[Strength increased by 3, Stamina by 49, Agility by 17, and Magic by 31.]
[The potential of all your stats has reached the maximum limit.]
[You can no longer absorb additional stats.]
[The excess stats are returned to nature.]
Sejun also ate his rice deliciously while diligently returning stats to nature.
In the past, seeing messages like these made him feel like he was wasting stats, and his appetite would dip slightly.
“Hehehe. This tastes amazing.”
Battle aura, absorb these stats and grow quickly.
Now, the taste alone was enough for him.
It was like watching his paycheck disappear from his bank account, only to realize it was secretly accumulating in a savings account.
After finishing his meal, Sejun took out a rice seed.
He added the last remaining drop of Enhancing Elixir to it.
Since he ate rice every day, enhancing the rice seeds seemed like the most efficient use.
After enhancing the rice seed, along with the description that the taste would improve, the ‘Rice-as-Medicine’ effect was enhanced to increase total stats from 100 to 150.
Satisfied with the options on his newly enhanced Level 1 Golden Rice Seed, Sejun planted it in the ground.
He used 10 drops of Harvest Elixir to quickly multiply the seeds, and then began planting them in earnest in the rice paddies.
(Pip-pip! Eh?! Sejun-nim, you haven’t gone to sleep?!)
“Yup. I was waiting to spend time with Paespaes.”
Puhuhut. I, Vice Chairman Theo, was also staying up just to wait, meow!
[Cuengi’s a bit sleepy, but Cuengi will also hold on!]
Paespaes spent a delightful evening playing with the group for the first time in a while.
Except for the sleepy Blackie family, of course.
(Pip-pip! Oh, right! Sejun-nim, I created a skill, but could you name it for me?)
“Really? Show me the skill first.”
Heheh. When it comes to naming, nobody does it like me, Park Sejun.
At Sejun’s words, Paespaes eagerly demonstrated its skill.
While flying at high speed, Paespaes folded its wings, creating a powerful vortex as it spun its body to execute a body slam.
Paespaes spins. It goes round and round.
