Chapter 623: Chapter 623
Appearing on the waypoint, Sejun announced his return to Aileen.
“Yeah. Nothing much happened, right?”
“Huh?! What happened?”
“Oh. Really?! I thought it was something serious… Aileen, good job.”
Drawn by the aroma of Sejun’s cooking, his companions woke up, stretching and yawning.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, are you grilling my fish properly, meow?”
[Hehehe. Dad, what’s for breakfast today?]
“Hehe. Today, it’s fried eggs and sausage stir-fry with white rice, your favorite, Cuengi.”
[Hehe. Butler! You dried my roasted and dried sweet potato properly, right?!]
“Ah! What should I do? I forgot today…”
Kkuaang! Kking?! Kking!
[Whaaat?! How could you forget?! Butler, you’re the worst!]
“Oh? Blackie, did you just call me the worst? Hehehe. Then I guess I’ll eat yesterday’s batch of dried sweet potatoes myself.”
[No! Butler, you’re the best!]
His companions checked the breakfast menu.
Once the cooking was finished, they all enjoyed their meal.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I’ll go earn lots of money, meow!”
[I’ll work hard too, dad!]
Theo and Cuengi headed out, Theo to the 27th floor of the Red Tower and Cuengi to the western herb field.
Having spent the past few days in the Silver Tower, both had a backlog of work.
After sending Theo and Cuengi off to work, Sejun also began his farm tasks.
[Hehe. Butler! I’ll help!]
Having gained strength from a few drops of the Great Growth Elixir, the Blackie Family was now capable of doing a fair share of the work.
Once the farm tasks on the 99th floor were completed,
“Summon Door. Blackie, let’s go.”
Sejun took the Blackie Family to the 10th Tower.
[Hehe. The Great Boss Blackie has arrived!]
The Blackie Family was enthusiastically welcomed by the Destruction Pioneers and Destruction Devourers.
[This time, in the Silver Tower, the Great Blackie…]
Blackie began boasting about his exploits, how he had obliterated the demonic sword in the Silver Tower.
Meanwhile, Sejun was planting seeds.
[The 7th floor of the 10th Tower is now open.]
[The 7th floor of the 10th Tower has been activated.]
The 7th floor of the tower had been unlocked.
And that meant the 6th floor could now be cleared.
Sejun hurried to the 6th floor of the tower and,
He placed his hand on the white crystal.
[As a reward for clearing the 6th floor, all stats have increased by 500.]
[As a reward for clearing the 5th floor, you have obtained 50 billion Tower Coins and 1 trillion experience points.]
[You have leveled up.]
[You are now moving to the 7th floor of the Tower.]
As the reward message for clearing the 6th floor appeared before him, Sejun was transported to the 7th floor.
Unlike the other floors, the 7th floor had no vast land.
Surrounding him were steep cliffs, and a single beam of light from the sky illuminated a small temple in the center with an open ceiling, casting a glow over the area.
Is this not a place for farming?
Cautiously, Sejun entered the temple.
Inside, nine pillars of different colors surrounded the temple’s center.
At the very center of the temple was a crystal-clear pond, so transparent that its depths could be seen, except that beyond a certain depth, it was pitch black, revealing nothing.
That must be dangerous.
Frightened by the dark abyss, Sejun averted his gaze from the pond and looked around.
Then, he noticed a golden and a brown pillar that were thinner and shorter than the others.
It resembled the situation of the Nine Towers.
Upon closer inspection, the arrangement of the nine pillars matched the layout of the Nine Towers.
Why are the Nine Towers represented here…?
[Quest: Turn all Nine Towers into Great Towers.]
Reward: Creator God’s Tablet
A quest message appeared before Sejun.
Despite the quest’s high difficulty and incredible reward, the message was absurdly brief.
Finally, he could collect all of the Creator God’s Tablets.
Of course, for Sejun, this wasn’t a difficult quest, nor was the reward particularly impressive.
After all, he had already turned seven of the towers into Great Towers and possessed nine Creator God’s Tablets.
Acting cool, Sejun descended to the 1st floor alone.
Kking?! Kking! Kking!
[Butler! Where did you go alone?! If you’re going somewhere, you have to take the Great Blackie too! I was worried!]
He had to endure a scolding from Blackie for disappearing without saying a word.
“Alright. I’ll take you with me next time. Sorry.”
Sejun soothed Blackie by patting his head, appreciating his concern.
A warm, soft atmosphere settled between them for a brief moment.
But that moment didn’t last long,
[Hehe. If you’re really sorry, give me five pieces of roasted and dried sweet potato!]
“Suddenly, I’m not sorry anymore.”
[You just said you were sorry! The Great Blackie heard it loud and clear! Hand over the roasted sweet potatoes now!]
“Hehehe. When did I say that?”
The two quickly started bickering again.
[If a man says two different things with one tongue, his tongue falls off!](TL: Something along the lines of – ‘A man who takes back his words loses credibility’)
Sejun teased Blackie with a smug grin.
Teasing Blackie was still the most fun.
In his excitement, he momentarily forgot,
[Then the Great Blackie will rip it off himself!]
that Blackie was a terrifying creature.
Blackie, the wolf who hunts gods, could certainly hunt other things too.
“Hey! Were you really about to bite me?! Alright! I’ll give it to you! I said I’ll give it to you!”
Panicked, Sejun quickly surrendered and handed over the roasted and dried sweet potatoes to Blackie.
Wearing a victorious smile, Blackie happily munched on his reward.
Hehe. This is delicious!
