“Hehehe. Everyone, let’s eat now.”
As the coconut crab dishes were completed, Sejun called his companions.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, is my grilled fish ready too, meow?”
“Of course, it’s done. That’s why I called.”
When Sejun placed a plate of perfectly golden-brown grilled fish in front of Theo,
“Puhuhut. Excellent, meow!”
Theo grinned widely as he looked at the grilled fish.
Sejun then continued placing plates of steamed coconut crab and butter-grilled coconut crab in front of the others,
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Dad, I’ll eat well!]
“Uheheh. Thank you for the food.”
Crunch. Crunch.
While the food fighters Cuengi and Uren skillfully cracked the coconut crabs in half and started eating,
Great Blackie’s teeth are strong too!
Chomp. Chomp.
“Hey! Why are you eating it with the shell!”
Blackie was caught by Sejun while chewing on the coconut crab, shell and all.
“Ah.”
Kking…
[Aah…]
Great Blackie wanted to eat it all alone!
With a sulky expression, Blackie had no choice but to eat only the coconut crab meat that Sejun peeled and gave.
Even though his teeth were strong, the rest of him wasn’t as tough.
Hehe. This is easier?
Of course, eventually, Blackie gave in to the convenience of being fed and sat like a baby bird with his mouth open.
“Here, say ‘Ah.’”
Kking!
[Ah!]
Every time Sejun peeled and fed Blackie a piece of coconut crab, Blackie grinned broadly.
A little while later.
104.28.193.250
When the dinner was over,
“Ah, I’m full.”
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Dad, coffee time!]
“Sure. Thanks.”
Slurp.
Sejun drank the coffee that Cuengi brewed for him.
“Ahhh! As expected of our Barista Cu!”
Kuehehehe.
Personally, the coffee Cuengi brewed tasted 100 times better than the one served at Mimyr’s Golden Ship Hotel.
Slurp.
“Ah, so good.”
As Sejun leaned against the coconut tree while drinking his coffee
“Puhuhut.”
Kuehehehe.
Theo and Cuengi settled themselves by Sejun’s lap and side.
However, the Blackie Family couldn’t rest inside Sejun’s sling bag.
We’re still short one good deed! What should we do?!
They had promised to do three good deeds a day with Sejun, but they had only done two so far.
For reference, today’s good deeds were throwing trash into Ulkan’s room trash can and quietly eating coconut crab in Sejun’s arms.
Hehe. Because I listened well to the butler, that counts as a good deed too!
Anyway, it was an emergency situation.
There’s not much time left!
Since there wasn’t much time left in the day, the Blackie Family ran around until their paws were sweating looking for good deeds to do.
But… what counts as a good deed?
The Blackie Family didn’t really understand the concept of good deeds.
At that moment,
That’s right! Great Blackie has a Core Fragment!
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Everyone, Great Blackie found a good deed!]
Remembering the Core Fragment Poyo had given to him, Blackie barked excitedly.
“Oh! Magnificent! As expected of the great Blackie-nim!”
Kkiruk!
Sharalang!
…
..
.
The subordinates praised Blackie.
Kking! Kking!
[Alright! Now, to the butler!]
Dadada
The Blackie Family ran toward Sejun, who was lying down and resting.
The good deed Blackie thought of was making Sejun stronger.
In Blackie’s opinion, helping someone become stronger was an extremely good deed.
Huuaaam.
Right at that moment, Sejun let out a yawn.
Kking! Kking!
[Butler! Open your mouth! Great Blackie’s Core Fragment is coming in!]
At last, Blackie could proudly declare Fenrir’s Core Fragment as his own.
Launching himself, Blackie shoved his Core Fragment directly into Sejun’s mouth.
Thunk!
With his front paw, he pressed the orb firmly.
…?!
Gulp.
Thanks to Blackie, Sejun was forced to swallow a 7% piece of Fenrir’s Core Fragment.
“Is this your Core Fragment?”
Kking! Kking! Kking!
[Yes! That’s right, Butler! Now it’s going to hurt a little!]
“What do you mean by that…?”
Just as Sejun was about to ask again,
Boom!
As the message appeared, a hot energy like a volcanic eruption spread throughout his body starting from his stomach.
“Arghhh!”
It hurts so much!
It was a burning pain, as if his whole body were on fire.
Kking! Kking!
[Butler! Just hang on a little longer! Guys, start!]
“Yes!”
Kkiruk!
Sharalang!
…
..
.
Blackie and his subordinates quickly climbed onto Sejun’s stomach to help guide the Fenrir’s Core Fragment so it wouldn’t run wild.
“Aaarggh!”
[2% absorbed.]
…
..
.
With Sejun’s screams, the power continued to grow.
And then,
[<Power: Super Sunfish Core> has…]
Was it supposed to hurt this much…?
Thud.
Exhausted from the pain, Sejun passed out.
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Great Blackie has completed three good deeds today!]
“Puhuhut. Blackie, well done, meow! Now great Hybrid Chairman Park has become even stronger, meow!”
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Thanks to Blackie, Dad got stronger! Blackie, great job!]
Having completed his good deeds for the day, Blackie received praise from his older brothers.
Hehe. Now I won’t get kicked out!
Satisfied with completing his tasks for the day, Blackie lay down on Sejun’s chest.
Thump. Thump.
Listening to Sejun’s heartbeat,
Kkirorong.
Blackie sprawled out comfortably and fell asleep.
Although he had three good deeds to do tomorrow, that was tomorrow’s Blackie’s problem.
As Sejun and the Blackie Family fell asleep,
Gororong.
Kurorong.
Theo and Cuengi also settled down on Sejun’s lap and by his side to sleep.
Pirorong.
Yurorong.
Piyot and Uren found spots to sleep on Theo’s right and left.
Lick. Lick. Lick.
“Moohehe. This is a delicacy, too.”
Only Poyo stayed awake, licking the misery off the discarded coconut crab shells while ensuring the campfire didn’t go out.
***
“Where is this?”
A beautiful sky, layered with shades of blue and pink.
Countless shooting stars fell from the sky, and as they touched the ground, they transformed into majestic dragons and gods who roamed the earth.
“…….”
As Sejun’s gaze followed the shooting stars to the ground,
he saw vast golden fields stretching endlessly, colorful farmland planted with a variety of crops,
a blue river cutting through the farm, a small hut beside the river, and the farm members huddled together playing joyfully.
“This is my mental world.”
Sejun realized this was his own mental world.
Since he had visited a few times before, he recognized it immediately.
“But why am I here?”
Ah. Blackie fed me his core.
“That rascal, Blackie! He should’ve told me it’d hurt before making me eat it!”
As Sejun recalled the situation before he passed out and felt indignant toward Blackie,
Flash.
-Sejun, you’ve grown a little stronger.
Once again, the brightly glowing being appeared before Sejun, speaking in a warm voice.
Unlike before, when it appeared as a simple round sun, this time its silhouette faintly resembled a figure with arms and legs.
“Are you perhaps… that person from before?”
Sejun asked, looking at the light.
-Yes, it’s me.
When the Creator God answered in a kind voice,
“Hello. But why are you here…?”
Sejun asked cautiously, his tone laced with a hint of wariness.
After all, last time they clearly tried to give him work and ended up getting angry by themselves at the end.
-Well, the thing is…
“As I said before, I’m not going to work hard.”
Before the Creator God could even start speaking, Sejun preemptively cut him off.
-Yes, Sejun. Just keep doing exactly as you are now. And take this.
The Creator God sent a glowing blue orb of light toward Sejun.
Srrrrk.
The orb of light was absorbed into Sejun’s body.
And then,
[All stats have increased by 1000.]
[Job Skill: Transplanting Lv. 5 has been acquired.]
A series of messages appeared before Sejun.
Because Sejun had grown slightly stronger, the skill was granted at level 5 from the start.
However,
Frown.
The expression on Sejun’s face, after receiving the gift, was far from pleased.
“Keep doing exactly as I am now?! Does that mean you have no expectations for me at all?”
Sejun was upset because the Creator God had said, “Just like now”, implying no particular hope for his improvement.
“I can do even better! Why are you looking down on me?!”
-No, I didn’t mean it like that…
What is with this contrarian brat? He didn’t want to work hard when I told him to, so I said he could just stay as he is, and now he’s mad? What do you even want?!
The Creator God was flustered.
-Ahem. Well then, see you next time!
Sensing that he might lose his temper if he stayed any longer, the Creator God quickly vanished.
Determined to come better prepared to deal with Sejun the next time.
As the radiant figure, the Creator God, disappeared,
“Hmph! So you have zero expectations of me, huh? Just wait and see! I’ll show you the untapped potential od the unscratched lottery ticket Park Sejun!”
Fueled by his wounded pride, Sejun burned with motivation all by himself.
***
The next morning.
“Alright.”
Sejun woke up.
And,
“Hehehe.”
Wiggling his toes, he enjoyed the cozy warmth of his companion blanket before checking out the power and skill he had gained yesterday.
→ This is a core that Blackie and his seven subordinates painstakingly designed over a long time for Black Tower’s Tower Farmer Park Sejun.
→ Butler is weak!
→ To ensure the body could handle it, the powerful core was split into two parts.
→ All options are applied at 2x the effect.
…
..
.
The options remained the same, but with two cores now, all option effects were doubled.
An extraordinary growth.
However,
Crack.
“Butler is weak?!”
Sejun became furious at the words nestled between the options.
“Blackie, you little rascal!”
Stretch.
Kking…
Sejun grabbed the cheek of the soundly sleeping Blackie and pulled on it, venting his anger, before checking the Transplanting skill he had received in his unconscious state.
→ You can carefully uproot crops without damaging their roots.
→ Even if crops are uprooted from the ground, their state will remain stable for 5 hours.
For Sejun, who had already been planning to visit Simon Village, where Olivo was, to dig up a few cinnamon trees and bring them back, it was the perfect skill.
However,
Come to think of it, they looked down on me!
Seeing the skill reminded Sejun of how he had been looked down upon in his unconscious state.
“Alright, everyone, wake up!”
Sejun hurriedly woke up his companions and had breakfast with them.
After finishing breakfast,
“Ahh, this is nice.”
Hehehe. Keep your chest warm and your head cool.
Leaning back leisurely, Sejun sipped the hot coffee Cuengi had brewed for him.
The thought of proving himself to the being who had looked down on him had long since vanished.
Why is an unscratched lottery ticket an unscratched lottery ticket?
Because it hasn’t been scratched.
With that, Sejun and his companions leisurely enjoyed their post-meal coffee time.
“Alright, let’s head out now.”
They moved to the waypoint.
When Sejun and his companions arrived at the waypoint,
“Who are you to dare hold your head high in the presence of Lord Haeta, son of Haerova?!”
The boss of the 63rd floor of the Black Tower, who was guarding the waypoint, picked a fight with them.
[Black Tower 63rd Floor Boss: Stone Lizardman Haeta]
The Stone Lizardman, with gray stone scales instead of green ones, was a rare and powerful type among the Lizardmen.
But,
“Don’t you dare disrespect our great Hybrid Chairman Park, meow!”
Thwack!
The moment Haeta picked a fight with Sejun, Theo’s front paw flew straight to the back of his head without hesitation.
Thud.
A stamp was pressed onto his forehead.
While Theo was busy making Haeta a permanent employee of Sejun Company,
Tap.
Sejun placed his hand on the red crystal and saved the waypoint.
A short while later,
“We’ve arrived.”
Sejun appeared in Simon Village, where Olivo resided.
***
Meanwhile, at the outskirts of Destruction,
Crunch.
Four black fingers forcibly pried open the Black Moon, and crimson eyes peered outside.
“Where have all the Apostles of Destruction disappeared to?!”
A furious Destruction roared.
Gururuk. Gururuk.
From the crimson eyes of Destruction, a thick red liquid, whether it was tears or pus, began to pour out, contaminating the surrounding area.
