Chapter 529: Chapter 529
Outskirts of Destruction.
“Jǫrmungandr-nim, I have returned.”
Kraken, who had destroyed Kanos, returned leading the remaining forces.
“Good. You’ve done well.”
Jǫrmungandr, who had been watching over Hydra and Leviathan as they began their molting, turned to Kraken and spoke.
“Then I will prepare for the next attack right away.”
He chose cabbage, which he could use in various dishes.
Once Sejun finished selecting his seeds,
[460 Tower Coins have been deducted from Park Sejun-nim’s Seed Bank account.]
[4,600 points have been accumulated in the Seed Shop’s mileage points.]
[You currently have a total of 14,601 Seed Shop mileage points.]
[You have spent 400 Pieces of World’s Energy.]
[400 Seed Shop Coupons have been issued.]
[The only item currently available for exchange is the Seed Shop Random Period Reduction Tickets.]
[The 400 Seed Shop Coupons have been automatically exchanged for 4 Seed Shop Random Period Reduction Tickets.]
Along with many messages, five leather pouches containing seeds and four time reduction tickets appeared in Sejun’s hands.
Struggling, Sejun painfully moved both arms to
tear the reduction tickets.
1 day, 1 day, 2 days, 1 day.
Fortunately, one of the tickets yielded two days, so with the four random time reduction tickets, he managed to reduce the time by five days.
“To think I have to call this good luck…”
Sejun suddenly felt a pang of emptiness and sighed.
If only he had Theo’s golden front paw…
With the help of Theo, the King of Luck, the Seed Shop could have opened by now.
“You damned System, someday our Vice Chairman Theo will impeach you.”
With that thought, Sejun drifted off to sleep, hoping that Theo would avenge him one day.
He fell asleep. The ground, warmed by the sunlight, was pleasantly cozy.
[Hehe! Follow the leader!]
Blackie, who was playing leader with the Destruction Devourers.
[Butler! Are you asleep?]
Blackie cautiously approached Sejun and nudged him with his front paw. He didn’t want to risk getting punished again.
In response, only the sound of Sejun’s snoring was heard.
Kihihit. Kking? Kking!
[Hehe! Is butler asleep? Then I’ll sleep too!]
The Blackie family snuggled into the warm space under Sejun’s arm.
They quickly drifted off to sleep.
“Puhuhut. Great Hybrid Chairman Park, I’ve returned, meow!”
Theo, who had sold out all of Sejun’s crops, returned and ran over to Sejun.
Theo found Sejun and the Blackie family asleep, lying on top of Alice, the Apostle of Destruction.
“Puhuhut. Is it nap time, meow?!”
Theo climbed onto Sejun’s lap, intending to join in on the nap.
Sejun groaned in pain.
“Meow?! Muscle pain again, meow?!”
As Theo started massaging Sejun’s body with his front paws
As Theo continued, the pained expression on Sejun’s face began to soften.
While Theo was massaging Sejun,
[Dad, Cuengi’s back! Dad, are you hurting again?]
Cuengi, who had returned from gathering herbs, noticed Sejun and joined Theo in massaging him.
I must have dozed off.
As Sejun opened his eyes, the fatigue from the muscle pain had disappeared.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, are you awake, meow?”
[Dad, are you not hurting anymore?]
Theo and Cuengi clung to Sejun’s knee and side.
“Yes. Thanks to Theo and Cuengi’s massage, I’m not in pain anymore. Thank you.”
As Sejun patted both of their heads,
Both of them smiled happily, their faces filled with joy.
On the other hand, Blackie, who had been enjoying the warmth, frowned when Sejun stood up, and, with his eyes still closed, he started to wriggle around, searching for the warm scent of his butler.
He nestled his face against Sejun’s backside and drifted off to sleep again.
As everyone enjoyed their peaceful time together,
From afar, black, white, and purple dragon statues came flying swiftly. Strangely, the red dragon statue, which was usually with them, was nowhere to be seen.
“So, you’re asking me to make some strong liquor to help Ramter-nim regain his spirits?”
They explained the reason for their visit.
They wanted Sejun to help Ramter, who was struggling with feelings of anger, guilt, and defeat after losing Kanos.
And why did they understand Ramter’s emotions so well?
Because all three dragons had experienced it themselves.
When the number of worlds they had managed and subsequently lost to destruction was added up, it easily surpassed a thousand.
So they understood Ramter’s devastated heart well.
“Strong liquor, huh… Kkabi, help me out.”
After a moment of contemplation, Sejun called on Kkabi, who possessed the Power of Decay, and began working on creating a new brew to help Ramter recover his spirit.
Combat Shop Headquarters.
“You bastard! Do you have any idea how much Divine Power I wasted because of you?! You said cats like live mice?!”
Battler shouted as he grabbed Hunt, the God of Hunting and author of 1000 Ways to Completely Win a Cat’s Heart, by the collar.
“P-please, wait a second, Battler-nim!”
Hunt, who was caught by the collar, hurriedly opened his mouth. If he stayed silent, he was definitely going to get hit.
“A cat that doesn’t like mice… Battler-nim, you just had bad luck. It’s a rare case.”
“Yes, but don’t worry! With this new book I recently finished, you won’t have any problems!”
With a confident tone, Hunt handed Battler another book.
