“Urgh!”
What kind of taste is this?!
After drinking the Silver Giant’s blood, Sejun’s face scrunched up in disgust.
He had already tasted the blood of the Bronze Giant before, so he expected it to taste bad, but…
But such an awful taste!
The Silver Giant’s blood clung stickily to his tongue, giving off a mix of shampoo and metallic flavors.
“Meow?! The Great Hybrid Chairman Park’s face is becoming very ugly, meow!”
The face of Chairman Park is guarded by none other than Chairman Park’s right-hand man, I, Hybrid Vice Chairman Theo, meow!
Squish. Squish.
Upon noticing Sejun’s grimacing face, Theo quickly administered his ‘kneading’ emergency treatment on Sejun’s face.
“Chairman Park, use this as a palate cleanser, meow!” freёwebnoѵel.com
While handing Sejun something to cleanse his palate.
“Oh! Thank you, Vice Chairman Theo!”
This guy, Theo, has amazing sense!
Sejun gratefully took what Theo handed him and sucked it down in one go.
And then…
…?!
A fishy taste spread all throughout his mouth.
“Ugh! Why the hell would you give me Churu?!”
“Puhuhut. Of course, Churu is the best palate cleanser, meow!”
“That’s only for you… uhmp!”
The mix of shampoo taste, metallic flavor, and now fishiness made the Silver Giant’s blood, which he had barely managed to swallow, start coming back up.
No!
If I hadn’t eaten it in the first place, it would’ve been fine, but now, having suffered all the pain, it’d be such a waste to throw it up.
He wanted to grab a drink to wash it down, but there wasn’t even time for that.
Clasp.
So, Sejun tightly covered his mouth with both hands and…
Gulp.
Desperately swallowed it back down.
“Huff. Huff. Whew.”
As Sejun barely managed to keep himself from spitting out the Silver Giant’s blood, he let out a deep sigh.
“Meow! Chairman Park’s mouth smells like a weird mix of poop and something else, meow!”
Theo quickly put on a gas mask.
The gas mask was a special item that Iona had made specifically for Theo to use when following Sejun to the bathroom.
Apparently, it had been specially designed with a powerful deodorizing magic for Theo, making it exceptionally effective at eliminating bad odors.
I’m jealous.
“I should get one made for me too… mmph!”
It’s coming up again!
Damn it! How embarrassing! To be disgusted by my own breath…
Sejun hurriedly opened the Void Storage and pulled out a cold cola. He chugged it down, forcing the Silver Giant’s blood back down along with the cola.
Then…
[You have consumed the Blood of the Silver Giant.]
[Your strength and stamina potential increase by 700 each, the possible maximum increase.]
[Talent: Herculean Strength has awakened.]
[Talent: Herculean Strength has already awakened.] (TL: Chapter 286 after drinking Blood of the Bronze Giant)
[Talent: Herculean Strength has been enhanced to the Talent: Young Giant’s Herculean Strength.]
Finally, the messages appeared.
[Due to your Job Trait, you borrow 1% of the stats of Ophelia, the Tower Farmer of the Green Tower.]
[Due to your Job Trait, you borrow 1% of the stats of Ajax, the Tower Farmer of the White Tower.]
[You do not have enough potential stats to borrow the full 1%.]
Strength (7939/7939)
Stamina (6962/6962)
Of course, the increased potential for Strength and Stamina quickly filled up.
“Burp. But why did my Strength potential increase so much?”
Is it because of the Young Giant’s Herculean Strength?
Sejun burped and checked his enhanced talent.
[Young Giant’s Herculean Strength]
→ A talent that grants tremendous potential for Strength, like that of a Young Giant.
→ With each level-up, Strength increases by 30, and Strength potential increases by 1%.
→ Strength potential increases by 2000.
“Hehehe. It’s gotten a lot better than before.”
The Strength stat increase upon leveling up had risen from 10 to 30, and an additional effect had been added where Strength potential increases by 1%.
On top of that, the Strength potential increase had gone from 500 to 2000.
That’s why his Strength potential had increased so much.
With this, I can probably reach the 10th tower without needing the Transcendence Black Beans.
Sejun was already able to use the <Power: Strength to Support Thirteen Handfuls of Sky>, and if he used the Transcendence Black Beans along with it, he could reach the 10th tower.
However, there was no reason to go.
How dare you disrespect me?!
Of course, the biggest reason was because he was sulking.
Hmph… Still, with Patrick-nim looking after me like this, should I go?
Honestly, the fact that the Giant blood Patrick gave him was inedible or tasted horrible wasn’t due to any malicious intent on Patrick’s part.
Well, maybe a little malicious.
Remembering how Patrick had insisted he eat the Lava Bloodstone with his eyes tightly shut made Sejun feel reluctant to go again.
But still, the gesture had some sincerity…
104.28.193.250
‘Should I just stop by after breakfast and make a quick appearance?’
It was certainly his first visit, so there was a high possibility of getting an achievement.
With that thought, Sejun decided to quickly eat breakfast and then head to the 10th tower for just a quick visit.
Step. Step.
Sejun walked around the farm again, raising his potential.
A little while later.
Kueng!
[Good morning, Dad!]
Cuengi, who had just woken up, greeted Sejun with a deep bow and clung to his side.
Then,
Sniff sniff.
Kueng! Kueng! Kueng!
[Dad, your mouth smells like a weird poop smell! Let’s brush your teeth! Cuengi will help too!]
Before eating breakfast, Sejun brushed his teeth with Cuengi.
Then,
“How is it? Haa.”
Sniff sniff.
Kueng!
[It’s okay now!]
Only after brushing five times did Sejun receive Cuengi’s permission to stop brushing his teeth.
What’s going on here? I’m the dad, but something feels off.
Feeling a bit strange, Sejun headed to the kitchen where he ate the food his companions prepared by Sejun No. 1.
After Sejun finished his breakfast,
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Dad, Cuengi made morning coffee!]
Cuengi, who had somehow finished his meal earlier, brought over a cup of coffee.
“Oh my, my son is such a good boy.”
Pat. Pat.
As Sejun patted Cuengi’s cute little bottom,
“Meow! Chairman Park, Hybrid Vice Chairman Theo also wants pats, meow!”
Slide.
Kkihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Butler! Me too!]
Slide.
Theo and Blackie’s family also subtly pushed their butts out.
“All right.”
Sejun patted everyone’s bottoms before finally sitting down to drink his coffee.
Slurp.
The coffee had cooled down quite a bit.
Thanks to that, Sejun quickly finished his coffee.
“Alright. Summon the entrance to the 10th Tower!”
Sejun summoned the door to leave his mark at the 10th tower.
[Summoning the door leading to the 10th tower.]
Thud.
With the message, a wooden door appeared in front of Sejun.
[Patrick, the God of Earth, is delighted and says he knew you’d like his gift.]
[Patrick, the God of Earth, says he will give you a welcome gift when you arrive at the 10th tower and eagerly waits to see you there.]
At the same time, Patrick, who had been anxiously awaiting Sejun’s arrival at the 10th tower, began preparing to welcome him.
Hehehe. Even a welcome gift?
“Well then, I must go, of course.”
After responding,
Clink.
Sejun inserted the key to the 10th tower into the wooden door’s keyhole.
And then,
“Everyone, stick close.”
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!”
Kueng!
Kking!
Sejun made sure his companions were in contact with him.
Then,
[The 11 divided powers combine into one, activating <Power: Strength to Support Thirteen Handfuls of Sky> for 13 seconds.]
[Strength increases by 1300%.]
As the power activated, Sejun’s strength surpassed 100,000 in an instant.
Good, I feel brimming with strength!
Feeling the immense surge of power, Sejun turned the key.
Click.
The key turned effortlessly.
Creak…
As Sejun was about to open the door,
[The Orb of Death’s Energy warns you of imminent death.]
Ominous red letters appeared in front of Sejun.
This time, even Bev, the God of Courage, couldn’t sense the danger Sejun was in. That’s because Bev couldn’t see inside the 10th tower.
“…Patrick-nim, what will happen if I open this door?”
Without opening the door, Sejun asked Patrick.
[Patrick, the God of Earth says that when you open the door and enter, the 1st floor of the 10th tower will appear, along with himself, Hamer the God of Farming, and Silver Dragon Stella.]
“Stella-nim?!”
A dragon is waiting for me?! And not just any dragon, but one far older than Aileen, like an aunt?!
For dragons, age equates to strength.
“If it weren’t for the Orb of Death’s Energy, I would’ve been dead.”
Thud.
Sejun quickly closed the door.
***
10th Tower, 1st Floor.
“Park Sejun will be here soon! Hurry and get ready!”
At Patrick’s command, Hamer and Stella stood awkwardly on either side of him, holding welcome signs for Sejun.
On the signs…
[We love you! Park?Se?Jun?]
[?Welcome? Park Sejun? to the 10th Tower!]
The messages were written with lots of hearts due to Patrick’s strong insistence.
And then,
“Patrick-nim, do we really have to go this far?!”
“That’s right! It really doesn’t seem right to do this much for a lowly human!”
Hamer and Stella, clearly displeased with the overly subservient attitude towards Sejun, began protesting to Patrick.
But,
“Hush! Quickly raise the signs high!”
Patrick sternly reprimanded the two, making it clear he wouldn’t tolerate any objections.
You two don’t understand. You don’t know who Park Sejun really is.
Though Park Sejun is just a Tower Farmer, he’s someone who fought(?) and defeated Delia, the Demon of Corruption and 8th Seat Apostle of Destruction.
You’ll be surprised when you realize Park Sejun’s true worth.
Park Sejun… Hurry and come.
As Patrick eagerly awaited Sejun’s arrival,
[Park Sejun, the Tower Farmer of the Black Tower, asks what’s waiting for him if he opens the door.]
Sejun asked.
“What’s waiting for him? Well, if he opens the door, he’ll find the 1st floor of the 10th Tower. Hamer, Stella, and I will be waiting for him.”
Patrick explained casually, glancing around.
[The door leading to the 10th tower has closed.]
“What?! Park Sejun, why are you closing the door?”
[Park Sejun, the Tower Farmer of the Black Tower, says he can’t come because Stella-nim is there, and he might die.]
Wait, what?! Isn’t he just lacking strength?!
It turns out, even Patrick didn’t fully understand Sejun’s true nature.
“Sigh. Stella, go up to the 2nd floor.”
“Really?! So I don’t have to hold this sign anymore?”
“Yes. Hand it over to Hamer.”
“What?! Patrick-nim, I also…”
“You’re staying! And hold a sign in each hand.”
“Yes… ”
After Stella went up to the 2nd floor of the tower,
[Park Sejun, you can come now. Stella is gone.]
Patrick called Sejun again, asking him to come.
Click.
“Hello.”
Sejun cautiously peeked his head out as he finally arrived at the 10th Tower.
***
[You have arrived at the 1st floor of the 10th Tower.]
[You have achieved the great feat of being the first Tower Farmer to enter the 10th Tower.]
[As a reward for the great achievement, your stay cost on the 0th floor of the Black Tower is reduced by 0.2%.]
Oh, an achievement, as expected.
“Hehehe.”
As Sejun grinned at the messages,
“Hahaha. Park Sejun! Welcome! I am Patrick, the God of Earth.”
“Waa… I’m Hamer, the God of Farming.”
Patrick, looking genuinely excited, greeted Sejun, while Hamer waved his heart-filled sign with little enthusiasm.
“Yes. I am Park Sejun, the Tower Farmer of the Black Tower.”
After Sejun introduced himself, his companions followed suit.
“Puhuhut. I am the right-hand of the Great Hybrid Chairman Park and the legendary merchant of the Black Tower, the deadly dragon-clawed Golden Hybrid Cat Theo Park, meow!”
Theo quickly and accurately gave his long self-introduction without even taking a breath, and
Kuehehehe. Kueng! Kueng!
[Hehehe. Cuengi is Dad’s son Cuengi! Cuengi is good at digging up medicinal herbs! Cuengi ate meat for breakfast! And Dad said he loves Cuengi!]
Cuengi babbled on, saying whatever came to his mind.
(Pip-pip! I’m Hybrid Golden Bat Paespaes!)
Kaiser-nim gave me this! Now I’m a Hybrid like Sejun-nim!
Paespaes proudly showed off his dragon claws.
Kihihit! Kking! Kking!
[Hehe! I am the great Blackie! Kneel before me!]
Blackie also introduced himself from inside Sejun’s sling bag, barking with as much dignity as he could muster.
As Sejun’s companions introduced themselves,
Crunch.
At the center of destruction, the Black Moon forcefully opened, as reinforcements began to gather once again.
