Chapter 583: Chapter 583
Black Tower, 75th Floor.
As Sejun entered the alley in the shopping district where herbs were being sold, he took a deep breath, and the strong smell of medicinal herbs filled his nose.
“Wow. It smells healthy.”
Sejun said with sparkling eyes, a very typical Sunfish-like reaction.
“Meow… I don’t like it, meow!”
“Where is your village?”
“It’s in the northern area of the 63rd floor of the Tower.”
“Really? Then could you bring me some seeds?”
Since Sejun didn’t have a Land Deed for the 63rd floor, he asked Olivo to bring him cinnamon seeds.
“How much do you need?”
“I need about 10,000 seeds.”
“In that case… Considering the time it takes to go back and forth, and the labor involved, you’d have to pay 12 Tower Coins.”
Twelve Tower Coins is enough to Read the latest chapters on NovelHub - completely free!
It would take 10 days to travel back and forth, plus two days to gather the seeds on Mount Simon with the help of his entire family.
The 12 Tower Coins were calculated without taking into account the labor involved, simply valuing each day at 1 Tower Coin. While the price might seem unreasonable to others, for Olivo, it was a perfectly rational amount.
“That won’t do, meow!”
Theo stepped forward. Although Theo usually liked to exploit easy deals, he couldn’t stand something this severe.
“That’s right. I’ll pay 200 Tower Coins for the cinnamon seeds.”
Sejun also stepped in, raising the price.
He had adjusted the price based on the market rate of herb seeds he had checked while visiting herbal shops, adding extra for the effort of traveling to the 63rd floor.
Olivo asked, astonished at the offer that raised the price by more than ten times.
“Puhuhut. That’s right, meow! Our Great Hybrid Chairman Park never lies, meow! Because Chairman Park has fur on his butt…!”
Theo shouted boastfully.
Sejun hurriedly stopped Theo by covering his mouth.
Meanwhile, Olivo, worried that Sejun might change his mind, quickly packed his belongings into his bag and prepared to leave.
“Oh. Now that I think about it, I haven’t introduced myself. My name is Olivo. So, shall we meet back here in 12 days?”
“Yes. And my name is Park Sejun. Here’s the advance payment.”
Sejun, after introducing himself, handed 50 Tower Coins to Olivo. Judging by Olivo’s appearance, he seemed to be in need of money.
Olivo hesitated for a moment before accepting the money, then hurriedly left.
“Meow… Olivo didn’t ask me for my name, meow…”
Theo, who had been revving up to give an impressive self-introduction if Olivo asked, looked dejected.
As Sejun silently patted Theo’s bottom,
A sound came from Cueng’s stomach.
“Let’s go get something to eat.”
“Puhuhut. Sounds good, meow!”
Thanks to Cueng’s belly clock, Sejun realized it was dinner time and entered a restaurant with his companions.
“Please bring us three servings of everything on the menu. And please prepare the fastest-to-make dishes first.”
When Sejun ordered the food,
“Chairman Park, Vice Chairman wants to eat wants Churu, meow!”
Theo, sprawled out on Sejun’s lap, demanded Churu.
Sejun gave Theo some Churu while taking out peanuts to give to Piyot.
[Thank you, Sejun-nim!]
As Piyot thanked Sejun and eagerly pecked at the peanuts with his beak
The crow Karurur and the blue chick Shari looked on with interest. Though they had seen peanuts before, Piyot’s mukbang was something new.
[Sejun-nim, we want to eat peanuts too!]
[Please give us peanuts!]
Karurur and Shari requested peanuts from Sejun.
When Sejun gave a small portion of peanuts to the two,
The two birds eagerly pecked at the peanuts, enjoying them.
However, their eating pace gradually slowed, and soon they stopped eating altogether.
After all, Sejun-nim’s roasted and dried sweet potatoes are the best.
Peanuts were delicious, but they couldn’t compare to their soul food, roasted and dried sweet potatoes.
The food started coming out one by one, and Sejun and his companions enjoyed their meal.
When about half the dishes had arrived,
“Hey, piggy friend, you’re eating a lot of good stuff. Share some with us.”
Five raccoons, who looked like troublemakers at a glance, slammed the table and surrounded Uren.
Theo-nim, should I take care of them?
When Uren, who had brought in customers, looked at Theo, who was lying on Sejun’s lap, enjoying Churu.
Theo was in a state of great anger, even raising his fur.
Because the food that splashed when the raccoons hit the table was dripping down Sejun’s head.
Realizing the situation a moment too late, both Cuengi and Blackie became enraged.
The result of angering Theo, Cuengi, and Blackie?
A three-hit combo of fainting, stamping, and nightmares.
“Maintain Cleanliness.”
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, here’s 1,000 Tower Coins, meow!”
Theo handed over the money he had searched from the raccoons to Sejun, who had cleaned himself using his skill. Thanks to this, their dinner expenses were covered.
When the meal was over,
“Puhuhut. Let’s go to Jeras, meow!”
Carrying the unconscious raccoons, they headed to claim the bounty.
A familiar bag was lying on the ground.
Next to it was a collapsed Lizardman.
It was none other than the Lizardman hunter Olivo, who should have left long ago.
Sejun called out Olivo’s name as he rushed over.
Olivo regained consciousness. Thankfully, his life wasn’t in immediate danger.
“Olivo, what happened?”
“Sejun-nim, it’s dangerous. They’re nearby. You must leave quickly.”
“What?! What are you talking about?”
Olivo looked around anxiously, trying to hurriedly send Sejun and his companions away.
“Kukukuk. See? I told you. If we leave Olivo here as bait, someone would definitely take it.”
“Right. Timmy, you’re smart.”
“Don’t forget, I, Idril-nim, was the one who spotted Olivo receiving the money. Kekeke.”
Ten Black Lizardmen with black scales appeared, surrounding Sejun and his group. They joked leisurely as if enjoying the situation.
You dare interfere with my Cueng’s job quest?!
