Chapter 545: Chapter 545
The 99th floor of the Black Tower.
“Ugh, I feel bloated.”
After finishing Aileen’s food, Sejun emerged from the kitchen with a drastically worsening complexion. Of course, it wasn’t because he had eaten too much.
“Meow?! Chairman Park’s face is chubby and looks seriously ugly, meow!”
“What do you mean chubby and seriously ugly… mmph.”
“This is an emergency, meow! There’s no time, meow! Immediate treatment, meow!”
While receiving a facial massage from Theo’s front paw,
99th floor of the Black Tower.
As Sejun and Theo woke up and Theo stretched lazily at the front door,
Ace came running toward Sejun.
His expression was full of joy, but,
His footsteps sounded dangerously threatening.
Ace threw himself into Sejun’s arms.
My baby brother-in-law has gotten strong.
Thanks to this, Sejun experienced firsthand how much stronger Ace had become.
Although Sejun himself had grown much stronger in Hamk, he was no match for the wild Ace, who had grown powerful by eating Sejun’s crops raw to escape Aileen’s cooking.
“Brother-in-law! Let’s eat!”
Ace, looking around warily, urged Sejun to hurry and eat.
He was on edge because he didn’t know when his sister might force him to eat her food.
Though Sejun’s presence meant he no longer had to eat Aileen’s food, the young dragon Ace wasn’t ready to let his guard down just yet.
Since he was planning to make breakfast anyway, Sejun carried Ace on his back and headed to the kitchen.
Along the way, they met Cuengi and went together.
As Sejun hummed a tune while cooking in the kitchen,
“Hohoho. Our dear son-in-law, you’re up early today.”
Elizabeth walked into the kitchen with a bright smile.
A little while later,
“Mother-in-law, please have some. Everyone, dig in.”
Sejun placed the finished food on the table.
He also sent a massive amount of food to Aileen.
[The Tower’s Administrator says she wonders why you made so much and that she can only eat a little, but she’ll try her best to eat it since it’s from you, speaking with a happy voice.]
‘Hehehe. You say that, but I know it’ll all disappear by today.’
Perfect. This ensures Aileen won’t be cooking today.
Sejun had preemptively filled Aileen’s stomach to prevent her from cooking.
Kihihihi. Today I’ll just eat lots of Sejun’s cooking and go to sleep.
Fortunately, Sejun successfully sealed away Aileen’s cooking for the day.
“Hehehe. Now, let’s see how it tastes.”
Thus, his happy breakfast began.
A little while later.
“Oh my! How much did I eat?! As expected, our dear son-in-law’s cooking is the best.”
“Puhihihi. That’s right! Brother-in-law’s cooking is the best!”
[The great Black Dragon, Elizabeth Pritani, praises your cooking highly.]
[Your soul becomes greatly fulfilled from receiving high praise from a high-ranking being.]
[Your Mental Strength increases by 30.]
[The great but young Black Dragon Hatchling, Ace Pritani, praises your cooking highly.]
[Your Mental Strength increases by 5.]
Receiving high praise from Elizabeth and Ace, who had eaten proper food for the first time in a while, Sejun’s Mental Strength increased.
“Ahh, as expected, the coffee my son makes is the best!”
Sejun gave a dramatic thumbs-up as he sipped the coffee Cuengi had brewed.
Cuengi smiled brightly and widely in response.
A little while later.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I’ll go make lots of money, meow!”
[Cuengi will gather lots of herbs, too!]
Theo and Cuengi headed off to the 4th floor of the Golden Tower and the herb garden, respectively, while Sejun also began his morning routine.
“Magic Swordsmanship!”
Sejun, applying what he learned from Bochi, infused magic into his sickle and began harvesting green onions.
[You have harvested Detoxifying Green Onions.]
[Magic is slightly infused into the Detoxifying Green Onions.]
[Their shelf life is extended by 3 hours.]
[Your job experience increases slightly.]
[Your proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 9 increases slightly.]
[Your proficiency in Magic Swordsmanship Lv. 1 increases slightly.]
[You gain 100 experience points.]
The shelf life of the crops had increased, even if only slightly.
Thanks to that, Sejun worked with quadruple efficiency – harvesting crops, increasing shelf life, and raising proficiency in two skills.
Haha. This is the swordsmanship of a Tower Farmer. Farming Swordsmanship!
While Sejun was enthusiastically harvesting crops feeling a bit smug,
[Seed Shop is now open.]
Sejun’s 15th Seed Shop opened.
[Park Sejun-nim’s rank is Transcendent.]
[Seven types of seeds, including Transcendence grade seeds, are randomly displayed for today’s sale.]
[At your current rank, you can purchase as many seeds as you want within a 500 Tower Coins limit.]
[100 Bok Choy Seeds – 70 Tower Coins]
[100 Gondre Seeds – 50 Tower Coins]
[10 Yuzu Seeds – 5 Tower Coins]
This time, not a single Transcendence grade seed appeared in the seed list.
It had been a while since Sejun had such bad luck.
While it was disappointing for the non-combat gods, Sejun wasn’t disappointed at all.
Mix it with rice to make thistle rice and season it with sauce. Kuuh.
“Hehehe. With Yuzu, I can make citron tea and citron jam.”
Because there were many delicious things.
After buying all 7 types of seeds
Come on, little ones, grow quickly.
Humming a tune, Sejun planted the seeds.
When Flamie struck a massive wall with her enormous root,
The wall crumbled, revealing a stone statue in the form of a sacred goddess.
[Hehe! I’ve found it!]
Flamie happily touched the statue with her root after discovering it.
“Candidate for the Tree of Creation, are you prepared to undergo the trial?”
The statue’s mouth moved as it spoke to Flamie.
This was the place Creator God had taught her about, where one takes the test to become a true Tree of Creation.
When Flamie answered with a voice full of determination
“Very well. Then I shall begin the first trial. Bring me a Magic Stream Seed within 10 days.”
[Will a GreatMagic Stream Seed work as well?]
Knowing that Sejun didn’t have a Magic Stream Seed but did have Great Magic Stream Seeds, Flamie asked the statue.
“Yes. Since it is better than Magic Stream Seed, there will be additional rewards.”
An incredibly easy trial.
Flamie was about to ask Cuengi to fetch the seed from Sejun and quickly complete the trial when,
“I will seal your powers while you take the first trial.”
The statue sealed Flamie’s powers.
Huh?! You’re sealing my powers?!
Great! Now I can stay with Sejun~nim!
