Chapter 582: Chapter 582
Black Tower, 99th floor.
When Sejun, who had returned from yesterday and fallen asleep at home, opened his eyes,
“Puhuhut. Great Hybrid Chairman Park has woken up, meow?! Hurry, let’s go complete the job quest, meow!”
[Hehehe. Let’s go quickly!]
Theo and Cuengi, who had been waiting for Sejun to wake up with all their gear packed, urged him to hurry.
“Let’s go for the job quest tomorrow.”
Even the construction of the Tower, the Creator God’s Tablet, and his missions had been carried out using the manual as a guide.
– Though unlikely, if all the Apostles of Destruction have been persuaded, seal the Black Moon Door while cultivating the Land of Destruction to prevent corruption from escaping.
The Creator God found the passage he was looking for in the manual.
Although he wasn’t the one who had achieved this, the Creator God felt inexplicably proud as he chuckled over the contents of the manual.
“But seal the Black Moon Door?”
Seems like Sejun is already doing that…
The energy of creation produced by Jǫrmungandr’s body was slowly purging the energy of Destruction.
Moreover, cultivating the Land of Destruction was something only Sejun could do…
With just the two current Apostles of Creation, it was impossible to cultivate the Land of Destruction.
Should I wait for Sejun to grow stronger?
“Hmm. I’ve got 20 years left in my lifespan…”
I should take care of what I can before Sejun comes.
The Creator God began looking for tasks he could accomplish while waiting for Sejun.
Once breakfast was finished,
Sejun sipped the coffee Cuengi had brewed for him.
“Go call Piyot and Uren.”
He asked the Poisonous Bee to call Piyot and Uren. After all, with the unlucky Uren around, Theo’s money-making speed would increase by dozens of times.
While sipping his coffee,
Piyot and Uren appeared.
Thanks to the rigorous training he had received from the Minotaur King, Uren had become skilled at controlling his strength.
Once everyone had gathered,
“Alright, let’s set off.”
Sejun led his group as they moved to the waypoint.
Their plan was to first head to the 75th floor’s Merchant Street in the Tower to earn money and gather information on herbs.
When Sejun and his companions arrived at the 75th floor and entered Merchant Street, Theo’s first customer appeared.
“Hey, pig, stop right there. Hand over all you have, and I might just let you live.”
A badger tribe bandit quietly threatening Uren while silently unsheathing his claws. Even though they were all together, he specifically targeted only Uren.
As expected, Uren’s customer attraction (?) effect was extraordinary.
“Puhuhut. Welcome, meow!”
Excited to meet a bandit, Theo effortlessly subdued him.
He then stamped the bandit’s forehead three times, officially making him a three-year contract employee of Sejun Company.
Theo began rummaging through the bandit’s belongings.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I’ve earned us 1 million Tower Coins, meow!”
Theo handed over the money he had taken from the bandit to Sejun. It seemed the bandit must have pulled off a big score recently, as he had an unusually large amount of money for someone in his line of work.
Though it was a minuscule amount compared to the 100 trillion Tower Coins they needed to earn in total, every journey begins with a single step.
“Let’s take him to Jeras!”
There might even be a bounty on his head.
With the unconscious badger tribe bandit in tow, they headed to Jeras at the headquarters of the Wandering Merchant Association.
“Oh, he’s Kao, the youngest of the infamous Blood-Striped Badger Brothers. Let’s see… His bounty is…”
Recognizing the bandit, Jeras searched through a pile of bounty posters.
“Ah, the bounty is 1 million Tower Coins.”
Jeras revealed Kao’s bounty.
“Puhuhut. Once you’re released, come to Sejun Company to work, meow!”
Theo woke the unconscious Kao and informed him that after his release, he would have to work for Sejun Company for three years.
Feeling great after already accomplishing something as soon as they arrived, Theo clung to Sejun’s knee as they walked through Merchant Street, humming a tune.
Even Cuengi and the Blackie family joined in with their songs.
Following behind Sejun, Piyot and Uren joined in belatedly.
“Hey! You think you own this place?! Why is it so noisy?! My ears are bleeding! How are you going to compensate me?!”
I’ll avenge my brother!
A badger, bearing two red stripes on his body, picked a fight with Sejun’s group.
It was Rao, the second brother of the infamous Blood-Striped Badger Brothers.
“Your ears aren’t even bleeding, what compensation?”
When Sejun pointed at Rao’s clean hands and asked
“It’s a figure of speech! I mean my ears are hurting! You don’t understand that?! Are you stupid?!”
Rao shouted. It was, of course, a very poor choice.
“Hak! Did you just call our Great Hybrid Chairman Park stupid, meow?!”
[We’ll teach him a lesson!]
[You dare disrespect my butler?!]
Theo, Cuengi, and Blackie, all enraged by the insult to Sejun, simultaneously charged at the thug.
“Puhuhut. Great Hybrid Chairman Park, here’s 3 million Tower Coins, meow!”
While Theo knocked out the badger and retrieved the money from his belongings to hand over to Sejun,
“Grrrr. So you dared call my butler stupid?”
Even while unconscious, Rao was subjected to further punishment.
“Puhuhut. Jeras, how much is the bounty for this one, meow?!”
Theo pointed at Rao and asked Jeras upon their return.
“Ah, this guy is the second brother of the Blood-Striped Badger Brothers, a con artist named Rao. His bounty is 7 million Tower Coins.”
“Puhuhut. Hurry up and hand it over, meow!”
Thus, without doing much, Theo earned 12 million Tower Coins. As he exited the headquarters of the Wandering Merchant Association,
“For my brothers’ revenge!”
A giant honey badger came charging at them.
Naturally, he was subdued immediately and
“Puhuhut. You dared to target Great Hybrid Chairman Park, meow? You’re now a permanent employee, meow!”
Theo stamped the honey badger’s forehead and headed back to Jeras’ office.
– With the help of Sejun-nim and his companions, all three brothers, Gao, Rao, and Kao, were successfully captured!
– Total bounty of 22 million Tower Coins paid in full.
