TL: Hanguk
Black Tower, 99th floor.
As the communication networks of the Black Tower and the Red Tower merged,
Paku took the lead in organizing the hierarchy.
Then,
[Red Tower 43F Red Monkey, Monggu: Introductions?! You should be the ones doing that! We, the Red Lawless Gang, are taking over this place!]
The new recruits of the Red Tower immediately resisted.
Bayon, whose pride was hurt from showing such an unsightly scene to the Black Tower employees, left a message while grinding his teeth, and
“Go educate them!”
At Bayon’s command, the Red Fox members set off for the lower floors.
While the Red Fox members were on their way to discipline the newcomers,
Minotaur King attempted to hand over the youngest manager position to Balrog.
However,
Balrog immediately protested.
If Minotaur King were right in front of him, he wouldn’t have dared to say such things, but Balrog had never seen Minotaur King in person.
Besides, as a battle maniac, Balrog couldn’t accept being designated as the youngest without even having fought first.
At that moment,
Seeing that the manager hierarchy dispute was dragging on, Battler, who had been silent until now, stepped forward.
That was the real reason Minotaur King had been the youngest manager, above him were Battler, the God of Battle, and Hunt, the God of Hunting, both approved by Theo.
In a virtual space, Minotaur King and Balrog appeared.
The two immediately began to fight.
[Black Tower 99F Boss, Minotaur King’s win rate (100%)]
[Red Tower 99F Boss, Battle Maniac Balrog’s win rate (0%)]
The result was a complete victory for Minotaur King.
[Red Tower 99F Boss, Battle Maniac Balrog: Yes, sir!]
Having been thoroughly beaten in the virtual duel, Balrog obediently accepted his position as the youngest.
By the time the manager hierarchy had been settled, the deputy manager rankings had also been finalized.
Bayon knew his place and immediately showed respect.
Since he had encountered the deputy managers Pink-fur and Elka before on the 99th floor of the Black Tower, he wisely chose not to challenge them.
As the hierarchy within the full-time employee network was being established,
[Red Tower 33F Red Skunk, No. 23: Greetings! I’m Red Skunk… Pooof! Sorry for farting. I’m Red Skunk No. 23!]
Messages from the new recruits, who had just received some “physical education” from their Red Fox seniors, started coming in.
And then,
Haeta thought he had escaped from being the youngest sooner than expected, but
[Black Tower 63F Boss Stone Lizardman Haeta: …Yes.]
Paku wasn’t one to let things slide so easily.

“Aileen, share this with Ace and eat together.”
After preparing lunch, Sejun sent the food to Aileen.
“Blackie, eat a lot.”
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Okay!]
Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.
Sejun had lunch with Blackie while watching Sejun No. 3’s swordsmanship training.
Sure enough, without Master Bo, there was no progress.
Sejun missed Bochi’s swordsmanship lessons.
A little later,
After finishing their lunch, Sejun and the Blackie Family got ready to return to work.
They moved to the dimensional gate connected to <Earthworm>.
[Hehe. Sejun-nim, I feel like something good is going to happen today.]
“Hehehe. You think so? Flamie and Blackie, wait here for a bit.”
Sejun set Flamie and the Blackie Family down on the ground and stepped through the gate first, just in case there were any Tears of Destruction.
What if the Tears of Destruction turned into members of the Blackie Family?
“That’d be a disaster.”
Where would he even use all those Sunfish? Hehehe.
As Sejun entered <Earthworm> while laughing foolishly to himself like that,
“Huh?!”
Right in front of him, the Tears of Destruction wobbled and started transforming into his own image.
Flamie had found a new route without the Energy of Creation.
That was why Flamie had hinted at good news earlier.
Whoosh. Whoosh.
Meanwhile, seven Destruction Sejuns rushed at Sejun with clumsy punches, but
“Hey, guys, nice to meet you! Here, take this.”
Sejun effortlessly dodged their punches and placed Destruction Devourer Seeds into their hands.
Plop. Plop.
Without a word, the Destruction Sejuns began planting the seeds.
And then,
“Time to go home.”
Thanks to the seven Destruction Sejuns helping out, Sejun was able to leave work earlier than Theo and Cuengi and return to the Black Tower.
“Should I have bibimmyeon for dinner tonight? It’s been a while. Hmm-hmm-hmm.”
While waiting for the others to arrive, Sejun boiled some Egg Fruits for the bibimmyeon and julienned cucumbers and other vegetables.
Just then,
Kueng! Kueng!
[Dad, Cuengi is here! Dad, take this!]
Cuengi entered the kitchen and handed Sejun three medicinal herbs.
[3-Month-Old Magical Turmeric]
[3-Month-Old Magical Peppermint of Potential]
“Oh. Cuengi, thanks! I’ll eat well.”
Sejun immediately ate the medicinal roots Cuengi gave him.
Crunch. Crunch.
Since Cuengi had washed them thoroughly, there was no unpleasant crunch of dirt.
[All stat potential has increased by 100.]
…
..
.
As Sejun was eating the herbs,
Sniff sniff.
Kueng?
[Dad, are we having bibimmyeon for dinner?]
Cuengi sniffed the air and correctly guessed the dinner menu.
“Huh? Uh… yeah.”
How did he know?
The fearsome deductive ability of Food Detective Cunan who guessed the dinner menu just by smelling the ingredients for the noodles, before the noodle package was even opened. 𐍂ÅΝố𝔟Ęş
“Wash your hands and wait. We’ll eat together when Vice Chairman Theo arrives.”
Kuhehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Got it!]
At Sejun’s words, Cuengi went to the sink, washed his hands, and set the table with utensils, helping Sejun with dinner preparations.
“Aileen, you’re eating too, right?”
[The Tower’s Administrator says, ‘Last time, one box of bibimmyeon wasn’t enough, so make one and a half boxes this time.’]
“Okay, got it.”
Hehehe. So even Aileen finds just one pack of bibimmyeon unsatisfying, huh?
Feeling a sense of camaraderie with Aileen, Sejun began opening the noodle packets with Cuengi and placing them into a giant pot.
Just then,
……
As Sejun’s vision darkened
“…You’re back?”
“Meow…”
He removed Theo’s hands from his face.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I’m off work!”
“Yeah. Good job. Wash up quickly so we can eat.”
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!”
At Sejun’s words, Theo hastily licked his front paws, getting ready to eat grilled fish.
“Shari, make some ice.”
Ppiyak!
With Shari’s help, Sejun made ice water and placed the boiled noodles in it to make them extra chewy.
And then,
“Mix with one hand, and mix with the other hand too…”
Sejun added the bibimmyeon sauce and hummed a cheerful tune while mixing the noodles and sauce together.
Once everything was well-mixed, he generously topped the bibimmyeon with eggs, julienned cucumbers, and pear slices.
“Aileen, here.”
After sending the bibimmyeon to Aileen, Sejun also started eating happily with Cuengi.
“Puhuhut. As expected, the grilled fish made by the great hybrid Chairman Park is the best, meow!”
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Roasted and dried sweet potato is the best!]
Theo and the Blackie Family also enjoyed the food Sejun had given them.
After their enjoyable dinner,
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, come quickly and see the achievements of Vice Chairman Theo, meow! I made a huge profit today, meow!”
Sitting on Sejun’s lap, Theo wore a smug expression as he began pulling out his loot from his bag, one by one.
“Hehehe. Let’s see.”
Since Sejun knew through messages that Theo had scored big, he also watched Theo’s bag with great anticipation.
“Puhuhut. Here it is, meow!”
Theo pulled out everything he had obtained from the 27th floor of the Red Tower.
The majority were money pouches, followed by various pieces of equipment.
None of the equipment was particularly outstanding.
Should I send these to Earth?
Sejun pondered while thinking about his family back home.
By his standards, the equipment wasn’t anything special, but on Earth, each piece would easily sell for at least several billion won.
Selling them could cover his family’s living expenses, and the rest could go into his own account…
“Hehehe. I’m rich.”
Sejun grinned foolishly as he imagined the massive sum about to be deposited into his bank account.
Though he already possessed more wealth than Earth’s entire economy, seeing the numbers rise in his Earth account had a different kind of satisfaction.
Before entering the Tower, his bank balance had been almost nonexistent.
“Chairman Park, snap out of it, meow! Look at me, meow!”
Theo called out, as his loot showcase wasn’t over yet.
“Okay.”
As Sejun turned his attention back to Theo,
“Puhuhut. Next is this, meow!”
Theo took out 3 jewels from his bag.
[Water’s Jewel]
[Wind’s Jewel]
The descriptions were similar to the Earth’s Jewel they had obtained before.
In other words, if each attribute’s power was absorbed, the sealed god’s soul would be unsealed.
“Huh?!”
A great idea suddenly struck Sejun.
Most of these sealed gods had been trapped after being defeated by the Apostles of Destruction…
Those who tied it should untie it.
It seemed only fitting that the Blackie Family should be the ones to undo the seals.
“Guys, you’ll be the ones to break these seals.”
Sejun handed the jewels to the Blackie Family.
The Fire’s Jewel went to Mubalchil, the Water’s Jewel was given to Shari, Mukbupal, and Leviathan, and
Caw!
[I’ll take care of this one!]
The Wind’s Jewel was claimed by Karurur.
Once the jewel distribution was complete,
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, next is this, meow!”
Theo pulled out another item from his bag.
This time, it was four Land Deeds.
One for the 28th floor, 60th floor, and 75th floor of the Red Tower, and one for the 77th floor of the Blue Tower.
104.28.193.250
“Oh, Vice Chairman Theo, well done!”
Seeing the Blue Tower Land Deed, Sejun praised Theo.
Lately, he hadn’t been able to find a Blue Tower Land Deed, which had been delaying his exploration of the Creator God’s Tablet.
“Puhuhut. Great Hybrid Chairman Park, I, Vice Chairman Theo, am always amazing at everything, meow!”
Theo immediately puffed up with pride at Sejun’s compliment, speaking in an arrogant tone.
“Yes, our Vice Chairman Theo is truly outstanding.”
Sejun lifted Theo up by the sides and praised him.
Kueng!
Kking!
Cuengi and Blackie, eager for their turn, raised their front paws expectantly, waiting to be lifted as well.
“What? Why you guys too? Ugh… alright.”
Grumbling, Sejun hoisted Cuengi and Blackie up over his head.
And then,
“Now let’s go!”
Swoosh.
He disappeared from Black Tower’s 99th floor using the Blue Tower 77th floor land deed.
And the moonlight and starlight of the Black Tower densely filled the space where Sejun had disappeared.
