Chapter 528: Chapter 528
“Ugh… I was just about to get some sleep…”
Battler, who had been plagued by nightmares and had only just managed to start drifting into a deep sleep, frowned and covered his ears with a pillow at the sound of knocking.
The persistent knocking continued, as if it wouldn’t stop until he got up.
“You’ll probably be dealing with severe muscle pain for about a week.”
Les said, his lips curling into a slight smirk as he watched Sejun writhe in agony.
Seed Shop Headquarters
“This time, I’m definitely going to sell my seeds!”
“Hmph! Sorry, but I’m the one who’s going to be Trust-in-Park’s choice this time!”
“No way! It’ll be me! I’ve prepared a special seed just for today!”
“How laughable! That’s the same seed as last time.”
The non-combat gods were brimming with enthusiasm, preparing seeds to sell in the upcoming Seed Shop.
The fervor of the non-combat gods was growing stronger every day. It was only natural, considering the rewards from Sejun had risen significantly.
In the beginning, the rewards from Sejun were just ordinary temples, but now world proxy guardian positions had been added to the reward options.
Moreover, thanks to the divine power brought by the gods who had become proxy guardians, the Seed Shop Headquarters had visibly improved.
The non-combat gods could see with their own eyes the impact of the rewards Sejun provided.
Of course, it was still nowhere near as grand as the Combat Shop Headquarters.
However, just repairing the large holes in the ceiling, where they could once see the stars at night, and the drafty cracks in the walls made the non-combat gods happy.
“It’s a good sight to see.”
Chaos, the God of Chaos and one of the three executives of the Seed Shop Headquarters, watched the lively non-combat gods with a pleased smile.
“Indeed. It’s all thanks to ‘Trust-in-Park’.”
Order, the God of Order, smiled and agreed with Chaos’s comment.
She, too, was one of the three executives of the Seed Shop Headquarters, along with Chaos.
Chaos, Order, and Abundance.
These three gods acted as executives in the Seed Shop Headquarters, managing the Seed Shop and the non-combat gods.
Order joined Chaos in observing the non-combat gods boast about their seeds.
“Leah is lucky. She gets to sell the Seed of Abundance as a proxy guardian…”
Order murmured as she glanced at the residence of Leah, who was busy completing Inos’s quest.
Since meeting Sejun and the establishment of the Tower, Leah was experiencing the peak of her power.
The Seed of Abundance sold by Leah held a meaning that far surpassed other gods’ transcendence grade seeds.
Because they contained the power to bend the causality of the world.
Though it was difficult for the seed to hatch, once it sprouted, the reward that returned to the god who created it was substantial.
And for some reason it felt like ‘Trust-in-Park’ will easily make them sprout.
They didn’t know why, but it was just a feeling. Perhaps it was because they trusted Park Sejun that much.
“I’m starting to feel like making a seed myself.”
“Hold yourself back. Our seeds consume way too much divine power.”
Chaos held Order back with those words.
The Seeds of Chaos and Order, which twisted causality even more drastically than the Seed of Abundance, required an enormous amount of divine power.
With that kind of divine power, it was a better choice to distribute it among the other non-combat gods to further develop the Seed Shop Headquarters.
“Chaos-nim, Order-nim, hello. It’s been a while.”
Hel approached them directly and greeted them.
“I’ve accumulated quite a bit of divine power recently, so how about receiving an investment from me? In return, create a seed with the invested divine power and give me a share of its equity.”
With the divine power she’d received from Battler, Hel proposed an investment to Chaos and Order.
Normally, she would have opted for a risk-free interest return rather than a share in equity, but
The future is with the Seed Shop Headquarters, where Park Sejun is!
With her foresight as the God of Merchants, Hel decided to invest in this place, where the future looked bright.
“We’ll take the investment!”
Chaos and Order answered simultaneously.
Even if they had to give up a portion of the equity, creating seeds was more profitable.
Thus, with Hel’s investment, Chaos and Order also began creating their own seeds.
Sejun, who tried to get up energetically as usual, screamed in pain from muscle soreness.
Damn Muscle Strengthening Technique.
Groans escaped his mouth due to the aching pain all over his body.
“Vice Chairman Theo… Vice Chairman Theo… wake up…”
In a dying voice, Sejun called out to Theo. He couldn’t even shake his knee to wake him up because moving hurt so much.
After a few desperate calls from Sejun,
Theo rubbed his eyes and got up.
With his eyes half-closed, Theo pressed down on Sejun’s body with his front paws.
“Hehehe. Ah. That feels good.”
Theo’s healing massage.
After receiving this, Sejun could manage a few hours without muscle pain.
[Hehe. Butler! I’ll help too!]
Blackie also tried to help by stepping on Sejun’s body with his paws, but
“Argh! Blackie, you stay still!”
It didn’t have the same healing effect as Theo’s.
Oh! The butler can’t move?
Instead, Blackie discovered Sejun’s weak spot.
Kihihit. Kking?! Kking?!
[Hehe. Are you going to give me lots of roasted and dried sweet potatoes from now on?! Or not?!]
He began pressing his paws on Sejun’s body in a threatening manner.
Of course, Blackie’s pitiful attempt at blackmail was quickly thwarted when Sejun’s right hand, now recovered from Theo’s massage, grabbed him by the scruff.
“Blackie, take this and go stand in front of the house.”
Blackie had to face punishment for what he’d done.
With a pet sign hanging around his neck, Blackie trudged outside.
Following Sejun’s instructions, he sat down in front of the house and began nodding off, his head bobbing up and down as he dozed.
The sign around his neck swayed along with his nodding head.
-I am a bad wolf who went crazy over roasted and dried sweet potatoes and threatened my owner. Please don’t give me roasted and dried sweet potatoes.
