Chapter 598: Chapter 598
Black Tower, 99th Floor.
As dinner was nearing its end,
“Hahaha! Let’s make a toast for Sejun who worked hard!”
When Kaiser raised his glass and shouted,
“Thank you for making such a joyful time for us.”
The other leaders and the Great Black Dragons raised their glasses and expressed their gratitude to Sejun, who had worked hard to prepare for Christmas.
Sejun checked his stats.
“All my stats went up by about 5,000.”
Then… Hamer’s total stats are… 2 million?!
As expected of a god, they were incredible.
Just like that, Sejun’s total stats increased by 20,000 overnight.
“Huhuhut. I’ve grown stronger again.”
He said feeling quite proud.
He gathered up Theo and the Blackie Family and stepped outside.
[Hehe. Good morning, Sejun-nim!]
Flamie, basking in the morning sun, greeted Sejun.
“Yeah, good morning.”
Sejun greeted Flamie back and then,
He placed Flamie on his shoulder.
He walked around the farm, letting the sound of his footsteps reach the crops as he harvested things to eat for breakfast.
[Dad, did you sleep well?!]
Cuengi woke up and came looking for Sejun.
“Yes, Cuengi, you’re hungry, aren’t you? Let’s get breakfast ready.”
Sejun took Cuengi and went to the kitchen to start cooking.
Today’s menu was salad, soup, and the leftover bread from yesterday.
Since both lunch and dinner yesterday had been excessive, breakfast today was kept simple.
When breakfast ended,
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I’ll be off now, meow!”
[Cuengi will go gather good herbs, dad!]
Theo and Cuengi headed off to work.
Theo didn’t plan to visit another tower today but instead decided to check on how the employees were doing and went down the tower.
“I should get to work too.”
Sejun, who watched until Theo and Cuengi were out of sight, also began to move to start his day.
Recently, Sejun had been busy preparing for Christmas, leaving the 10th Tower and neglected, so there was much to do.
Black Tower, 75th Floor.
“Alright. Gorina, congratulations on becoming a manager!”
“Manager Gorina, congratulations on your promotion!”
Gorina, who had risen from an entry-level intern to a manager in Sejun Company within 300 days, was receiving everyone’s congratulations.
“Thank you, everyone!”
Thud! Thump! Thud! Thump!
Gorina responded by pounding her chest hard in appreciation of the other employees’ congratulations.
Not enough! I need even bigger achievements to become the Vice Chairman of Sejun Company!
The manager position wasn’t enough to satisfy Gorina’s ambition. She had her eyes set on Theo’s position as Vice Chairman of Sejun Company.
My love, just wait a little longer! I, one of the three beauties of the Black Tower, will win you over!
Gorina, the daughter of the Gorilla Tribe’s chief, had fallen in love with Sejun at first sight when she saw him on the 77th floor of the tower. (TL: In ch 128)
Even after being punched by Cuengi, she didn’t give up. She left her homeland to join Sejun Company, working diligently as she eagerly awaited the day she could be by Sejun’s side.
“What?! Full-time employee communication network?”
Gorina caught wind of new information.
“Yes. Only full-time employees can use it, and it seems there’s all kinds of information about Chairman Park being shared there.”
Information about Sejun?!
‘I want to use the official employee network too! I want to know what time Sejun wakes up, what time he goes to bed, and what he eats!’
Gorina longed to gain access to the official employee network.
But becoming a full-time employee wasn’t easy.
You had to either target Sejun’s life or make Theo extremely angry.
Unlike normal standards, Sejun Company’s requirements for becoming a full-time employee were bizarrely difficult and required considerable “bad luck”.
‘How can I make Vice Chairman Theo angry?’
Gorina spent the entire day working hard while brainstorming ways to enrage Theo.
[Manager Gorina’s Work Attitude: Excellent.]
She had no idea that her actions were actually pleasing the very person she needed to anger.
Puhuhut. Excellent work, meow!
Theo, secretly observing Gorina as she worked hard while scheming to upset him, found the irony amusing.
There was no greater irony than this.
If Theo had known she was targeting his position, he would have immediately promoted her to permanent full-time employee. But alas, Theo lacked the ability to read Gorina’s mind.
“Puhuhut. Gorina, since you’re working so well, there’s no need for you to work long hours, meow! I’ll suggest reducing your schedule to four days a week, meow!”
As a result, Gorina found herself drifting further and further from the full-time position she desired, and from Sejun as well.
“Hey, everyone. Hello.”
As Sejun stepped through the dimensional gate,
The Destruction Devourers greeted him warmly.
[Hehe. Guys, great leader Blackie is here!]
Blackie began playing with his subordinates and the Destruction Devourers.
While Blackie and her family were busy having fun,
Sejun planted seeds of the Destruction Devourers he had brought from the 10th Tower.
A thick, red, sticky liquid blob fell from the sky.
It was a Tear of Destruction that had accidentally entered Jǫrmungandr’s body and leaked out through a gap devoid of Energy of Creation.
The Tear of Destruction, following its instincts, began to transform into the appearance of the closest being, Sejun.
It started digging into the ground to create spots for planting seeds, mimicking Sejun’s original habits.
The Tear of Destruction was replicating the behavior of its main body perfectly.
