TL: Hanguk
[You have obtained 3 Grilled Power Potatoes as lunch from Sejun Company.]
Initially, Sejun Company’s system only handled salaries and meal distributions.
However,
[100 temporary employees have joined Sejun Company.]
At some point, new systems were gradually added, such as one that informed all employees of the company’s reputation or the recruitment of new employees.
[New infrastructure is being established in Sejun Company.]
[A full-time employee communication network has been launched at Sejun Company.]
[From now on, communication between full-time employees in the same tower is possible.]
[<Deputy Manager> Black Tower 98F Boss Black Eagle Redin: Yes, I can hear you.]
[Black Tower 49F Boss Horned Mole Dooku: Oh! Redin-nim, hello! This is Dooku, Boss of the 49th Floor of the Tower!]
[<Deputy Manager> Pink-fur: Redin, there are many people here ranked higher than you. Watch your tone.]
[<Deputy Manager> Black Tower 98F Boss Black Eagle Redin: Yes! I apologize!]
[Black Tower 1F Kueng gang Black Bear #8: Hello! I am here to greet everyone as well!]
When the full-time employees, who had previously been unaware of each other’s existence, began communicating,
[Black Tower 83F Chestnut Hedgehog Godori: We’ll help!]
[Black Tower 73F Boss Giant Flying Squirrel Quarrel: Oh! Thank you!]
[Black Tower 77F Boss Banana Monkey Tribe Village Chief Ookil: Anyone willing to trade food for 10 bottles of banana wine?]
[Black Tower 65F Long-tailed Green Monkey Tribe Chief Nokmong: Me! I’ll give you 500 avocados!]
[Black Tower 77F Boss Banana Monkey Tribe Village Chief Ookil: Sounds good. Let’s meet at Floor 71 then.]
[Black Tower 65F Long-tailed Green Monkey Tribe Chief Nokmong: Okay! See you in 50 minutes!]
The full-time employees began solving problems by helping one another through the communication network.
For reference, full-time employees of Sejun Company enjoyed a benefit that allowed them to use the Light Speed Merchant Passage for free.
At one point, Ssibal the 18th tried to use Sejun Company’s full-time employee communication network as a channel to spread the religion of Abundance.
He was swiftly blocked by Elka.
And then,
[Black Tower 59F Green Goblin Paku: Rookie, if you’ve joined, greet your seniors!]
[Black Tower 63F Boss Stone Lizardman Haeta: How dare a mere 59th Floor nobody tell me who to greet!]
Yesterday, there was brief chaos in the network when a disrespectful newcomer joined.
However,
[Black Tower 59F Green Goblin Paku: Count me in! (2/5)]
[Black Tower 83F Chestnut Hedgehog Godori: I’m in! (3/5)]
[Black Tower 80F Orin Mountain’s Ruler Black Bear Rak: Two joining.(5/5)]
[Black Tower 80F Ace of the Tiger Tribe Enlightened Hanra: Hehe. The other one is me].
[Black Tower 63F Boss Stone Lizardman Haeta: Bring it on! Do you think I’ll be scared?! My dad’s a lord!]
[Black Tower 80F Ace of the Tiger Tribe Enlightened Hanra: Oh Yeah. My grandpa is the Chairman of the Mercenary Association.]
[Black Tower 63F Boss Stone Lizardman Haeta:Huh?!]
The seniors from Sejun Company personally went to find Haeta and forcefully taught him proper etiquette.
Thanks to this, Haeta had now become a well-mannered junior.
However, a problem arose on the previously well-maintained full-time employee communication network when information spread during Christmas.
[Black Tower 59F Green Goblin Paku uploads a magic video.]
To prove his good deeds, Paku uploaded a video of himself treating an injured monster.
[Black Tower 59F Green Goblin Paku: Oh, if you look closely below the message, there’s a translucent button. Just press that.]
[Black Tower 83F Chestnut Hedgehog Godori: Got it. I’ll try it right away.]
[Black Tower 99F Mushroom Ant #7281: Thanks. I’ll try it too.]
Thanks to Paku, the employees learned they could upload magic videos, and they began eagerly posting them one after another.
[Black Tower 80F Ace of the Tiger Tribe Enlightened Hanra uploads a magic video.]
[Black Tower 83F Chestnut Hedgehog Godori…]
…
..
.
Eventually, thousands of magic videos certifying good deeds were uploaded.
[The full-time employee communication network will be temporarily suspended.]
The communication network crashed within a day.
And then,
After the Minotaur King’s warning, no employees dared to upload magic videos again.
***
99th Floor of the Black Tower.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I’ll go earn lots of money, meow!”
Kueng!
[Cuengi is going to work too!]
After finishing breakfast, Theo and Cuengi left for work.
“Alright, I should get moving too.”
Sejun hurriedly prepared for work.
Since they were planning to go down the tower tomorrow for Theo and Cuengi’s job quests,
He was pressed for time to check the farm in front of the house and visit the 10th tower and <Earthworm> today.
For reference, Ace had just been summoned by Aileen to the Dragon Market due to a sudden influx of customers.
– Puhihihi. Brother-in-law, Santa Claus is watching me help my noona, right?
Before leaving, Ace sought confirmation from Sejun once again.
“Of course, Santa Claus is watching you right now.”
‘Well, since Kaiser-nim is watching this way, it’s not a lie.’
– Puhihihi. This is exciting. Brother-in-law, I’ll be off then.
Hearing Sejun’s response, Ace went off happily to work.
And then,
“Santa Kaiser. That sounds pretty cool.”
Kaiser-nim, you’ve been chosen as Santa Claus.
Sejun decided to assign the role of Santa to Kaiser simply because it sounded nice.
Shortly after.
As Sejun went around the farm planting seeds and harvesting crops,
“Summon the gate.”
Clunk.
After eating a Strength-Boosting Yellow Bean, Sejun crossed over to the 10th Tower.
Now that his strength had increased, he no longer needed the Transcendence Black Bean to boost his power. The Yellow Bean alone, which raised his strength by 400% for one minute, was enough to reach 100,000 strength.
As Sejun entered the 10th Tower,
Kiki!
Kya-kya!
The Destruction Devourers and Destruction Pioneers welcomed him.
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Guys, follow the boss!]
While Blackie played with his subordinates,
[A seed of a Destruction Pioneer has been planted in the body of Melpheus, the Demon of Ruin and 4th seat of the Apostles of Destruction.]
…
..
.
Sejun planted seeds of the Destruction Pioneers and went through every floor, collecting seeds left behind by the Destruction Devourers.
The seeds of the Destruction Devourers were intended to be planted in <Earthworm>, spreading the Energy of Creation across the surrounding area.
This was necessary because the so-called “Tears of Destruction”, which had recently appeared with the opening of the Black Moon, were rapidly depleting the Energy of Creation around Jǫrmungandr’s body.
According to the dragons, only the Energy of Creation could extinguish the Tears of Destruction.
Thus, Sejun planned to focus on planting Destruction Devourer seeds in <Earthworm> for the time being.
“Blackie, let’s go now.”
104.28.193.250
After gathering all the seeds, Sejun descended to the first floor and called for Blackie.
Kking!
[Guys, boss will come again next time!]
Kiki!
Kya-kya!
With the farewell of his underlings, Blackie climbed into Sejun’s sling bag.
“Hamer-nim, give me an Enhancing Elixir, please.”
Lastly, Sejun obtained a drop of Enhancing Elixir made by Hamer and Stella and returned to the 99th Floor of the Black Tower.
He then moved to the dimensional gate created by Paespaes.
“How long do you think this will last?”
Sejun gazed at the dimensional gate with curiosity.
It had been a week since the dimensional gate connecting <Earthworm> and the 99th Floor of the Black Tower had been created.
Even Paespaes admitted he had never maintained a dimensional gate for this long and was unsure when it might close.
‘Well, Kaiser-nim enhanced the bracelet’s ability so I can return home even from outside the tower, so I’m not too worried.’
After Sejun’s return from <Earthworm>, Kaiser had strengthened the Dragon Horn’s Return Bracelet, enabling Sejun to teleport back home even from outside the tower.
Of course, the bracelet’s enhancement was only possible because Sejun had grown stronger.
Swoosh.
As Sejun stepped through the dimensional gate leading to <Earthworm>,
Hap. Hap.
[Welcome, Sejun-nim! Good morning!]
Kiki!
The World Tree Eosepo, who was diligently absorbing the Energy of Destruction along with the other Destruction Devourers, greeted Sejun.
“Yeah, good morning.”
Sejun exchanged greetings with them and then,
Drop.
He dropped a single drop of Enhancing Elixir onto a Destruction Devourer seed. The purpose was to strengthen the Destruction Devourers and increase their production of the Energy of Creation.
Swish.
The seed quickly absorbed the Enhancing Elixir, and a notification appeared.
– The efficiency of processing the Energy of Destruction has increased, allowing for more Energy of Creation to be generated with less Energy of Destruction.
“Oh, success.”
Seeing the newly added option on the Destruction Devourer seed, Sejun smiled brightly.
At that moment,
Along with the message, the surrounding blue energy was absorbed into the bodies of the Destruction Devourers, causing a group evolution.
[Oh! I suddenly feel overflowing with strength!]
Even the World Tree Eosepo was affected.
As a result, a large amount of Energy of Creation was consumed at once, causing the field of Energy of Creation around Jǫrmungandr’s body to shrink temporarily.
Hap. Hap.
But as the newly enhanced Eosepo and the Destruction Devourers (+2) absorbed and processed the Energy of Destruction,
Burp.
Burp.
An even greater amount of Energy of Creation was released, not only recovering the field but expanding it by roughly 30% more than before.
…
..
.
While Sejun was planting the enhanced Destruction Devourer seeds and safeguarding the peace of the world,
Tap. Tap.
“Puhuhut. From now on, you are permanent full-time employees of Sejun Company, meow!”
Through the bag of the legendary merchant wandering the Nine Towers, Theo, who was doing business on the 50th Floor of the Silver Tower, stamped on those who had picked a fight with him.
Puhuhut. Although they were originally temporary employees, I made them full-time for the sake of good deeds, meow!
Since he had to catch Santa for Christmas soon, Theo was generously offering kindness (?).
But offering kindness twice could lead to big trouble.
“Puhuhut. Then, let’s resume the auction, meow.”
As Theo, who had done his good deed, resumed his business,
He’s a golden devil!
I feel like I have to buy something!
I’m scared!
The merchants watching Theo trembled in fear.
