TL: Hanguk
1st floor of the Silver Tower.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I’ve collected everything, meow!”
“Hehehe. Good work.”
As Theo came out after looting the vault of the Bling Bling Silver & Cash president’s office, Sejun patted Theo’s head and praised him with affection.
Meanwhile
Kuehehehe.
Cuengi was raiding the snacks of the legendary merchant Oba inside the president’s office,
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
Blackie barked arrogantly in front of the legendary merchant Oba.
While Sejun and his party were confiscating the assets of Bling Bling Silver & Cash,
[Silver Tower Legendary Merchant, Big Wing, Kadan: So, all the legendary merchants of the Silver Tower have finally gathered.]
[Silver Tower Legendary Merchant, Lady, Buren: Hohoho. I figured someday you’d get caught and dragged in by Sejun~nim, but I didn’t expect it to be this soon.]
[Silver Tower Legendary Merchant, Gambler, Charlie: Sejun~nim’s justice prevails!]
Other legendary merchants of the Silver Tower welcomed Oba’s entry through the Merchant Communication Network.
“We don’t have time, let’s go.”
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow! You guys better take good care of our great hybrid Chairman Park’s store, meow!”
“Yes…”
Just like that, they left the store, which had now turned from the Bling Bling Silver & Cash main branch into a Sejun Company branch, in Oba’s hands, and Sejun and his group moved through the exclusive passageway.
And then,
Click.
When Sejun placed his hand on the silver hole,
[Please choose your destination.]
<Shillin (Lv. 3)>
<Kavas (Lv. 8)>
<Dren (Lv. 5)>
Choices appeared in front of Sejun.
“Huh?!”
There, Sejun spotted a familiar name.
The newly connected world is Dren?!
<Dren> was one of the five worlds where treasures location information learned by Toryong in Tartarus were hidden.
Hehehe. This is killing two birds with one stone.
“I’ll go to Dren.”
Sejun happily selected Dren, and the stay fee began to calculate.
A moment later,
Sejun and his party moved to <Dren>.
***
Black Tower administrator area.
“Ochir~nim, please hold out your arm.”
“Go ahead and draw it.”
At Aileen’s words, the great Red Dragon Ochir wounded his own arm and held it out to Aileen.
Since Aileen wasn’t strong enough to pierce Ochir’s skin to draw blood, he had to injure himself for her.
There was also the option to draw blood separately and just deliver the dragon blood to her.
But due to dragons competitively donating blood just to get more Choco Pies, a new policy was implemented that only food would be given for blood extracted directly by Aileen.
“Extraction.”
While Aileen drew blood from Ochir’s wound,
“Puhihihi. Ochir~nim, would you prefer seaweed soup or Choco Pie?”
Ace asked Ochir, who was having his blood drawn, from the side.
“Choco Pie.”
“Here you go!”
When Ace handed over the Choco Pie,
“Thanks.”
Nice. With this, I’ve collected all 100!
Ochir swiftly took the Choco Pie.
He had now collected 100 Choco Pies through blood donations.
It’s been about a month since they started blood donations and giving out Choco Pies, and he’s collected 100 already?
Ochir had once been one of those dragons who was bedridden from blood loss after too much donating.
The reason he worked so hard to collect them was to make a Choco Pie cake.
It was Sejun who introduced dragons to the concept of a Choco Pie cake to boost Choco Pie sales.
Today, I’m confessing to Yuli!
Ochir confessed to Yuli with a cake stacked with 100 Choco Pies,
Thank you! Park Sejun!
And a new couple was born.
If Sejun had known the Choco Pie cake was being used as a 100% success confession method, he would have never told them.
Anyway, among dragons, Sejun was now acknowledged as a dating expert.
***
The moment Sejun and his party arrived in <Dren>,
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
About 500 ogres came charging toward Sejun.
“Run!”
“Get out of the way!”
“Save us!”
To be precise, they were chasing the residents of <Dren>.
When Sejun looked back, he saw the residents of <Dren> fleeing in a panic.
“Guys, let’s go!”
Sejun said as he took off his gloves.
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Yes!”
Kueng!
At Sejun’s words, his companions ran past him to the left and right.
And then
Boom! Crash!
One ogre came charging straight toward Sejun.
Kuoohhh!
The ogre roared and threw a punch at Sejun.
“Hup!”
Sejun shouted as he threw a punch of his own.
Kwaaang!
A loud bang rang out as Sejun’s fist collided with the ogre’s.
Normally, it would’ve been Sejun’s complete defeat.
However,
“Hehehe. Hurts, doesn’t it?”
Today was different.
While Sejun’s fist, blessed by god of destruction, was completely fine, the ogre’s hand had vanished below the wrist of its right arm.
“Here I go again!”
Sejun confidently thrust his fist toward the ogre once more, but the ogre wasn’t stupid.
Whoosh.
Huh?!
The ogre dodged Sejun’s punch. It had noticed Sejun’s weakness from a single clash.
Wham!
“Keugh!”
Then the ogre landed a body blow with its left fist into Sejun’s side.
Whoosh.
Sejun was flung up into the sky. Fortunately, the dragon scale absorbed most of the damage, so while it hurt, there was no major injury.
Crash!
The ogre jumped, quickly rising higher than Sejun, and spun its body to drive its right heel into Sejun’s head.
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. It’s time for the great Blackie to step in!]
Before anyone noticed, Blackie, who had emerged from Sejun’s arms, clung to the ogre’s body and headbutted it.
Thud!
The ogre lost consciousness and plummeted to the ground.
Tap.
“Whew. That was close.”
Thanks, Blackie.
Sejun, who landed safely on the ground, breathed a sigh of relief and gathered the Blackie Family members who were hanging onto the unconscious ogre.
“Come here.”
After retrieving the Battle Aura from the ogre’s body, Sejun finished it off.
[You have gained 500 billion experience points.]
[You have acquired 1 bonus stat.]
[Your strength has increased by 30.]
[Your strength potential has increased by 1%.]
Sejun leveled up and reached level 174.
While Sejun was taking down one ogre,
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I knocked them all out, meow! Hurry and come get experience points, meow!”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Sejun~nim, there are more over here!”
Kueng!
His companions had taken care of the remaining ogres and called for Sejun.
“Guys, come here.”
Thud.
Sejun retrieved the Battle Aura from the unconscious ogres his companions had defeated and finished them off, reaching level 180 in the process.
[Job Quest: You must master the skill Magic Seed Sowing.]
Reward: Unlock level 181, 500 billion Tower Coins, All Stats +1200
He received a Job Quest.
And then,
[You have completed the quest.]
[Quest reward: Level 181 unlocked.]
[Quest reward: 500 billion Tower Coins…]
[Quest reward: All Stats increased by 1200…]
It was completed immediately.
It was there… and now it’s gone.
“Hehehe. Free pass.”
Sejun was delighted that the Job Quest was completed so easily.
Thanks to that, he gained all the ogre experience points without significant loss and leveled up rapidly to 188.
While Sejun was power-leveling like crazy,
“Puhuhut. If you get the seal and join Sejun Company, you’ll be under our protection, meow!”
Kuehehehe. Kueng! Kueng!
[If you join Sejun Company, you can eat Dad’s cooking too! Dad’s cooking is super tasty!]
Theo and Cuengi were recruiting the residents of <Dren> as Sejun Company employees.
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. If you join my butler’s company, I’ll specially let you play with the great Blackie! Playing with the great Blackie is super fun!]
Blackie was helping with the recruitment too, though not very effectively.
Offering safety and delicious meals.
Due to the invasion of the Calamities, the residents of <Dren> were left without food and their lives were in danger, so the offer was something they desperately needed.
“I’ll join!”
“Me too!”
“Please hire me!”
“Puhuhut. Don’t fight, meow! I’ll stamp all of you, meow!”
Stamp. Stamp.
Theo happily stamped away for the flood of <Dren> residents lining up.
There were occasional mistakes where Theo stamped someone twice,
“Huh?! I got stamped twice!”
“Twice? Then do you get food for two years?!”
“Oh! You’re right! Lucky you.”
The residents of <Dren> were envious, thinking it meant getting food for longer.
“I’m getting stamped twice too!”
Soon, they started lining up again to get extra stamps.
While around 10,000 residents were getting their stamps, Sejun cooked for the new Sejun Company employees and gathered information.
Since the only Calamity that had invaded <Dren> was the ogre they had just defeated, he figured they could head 100km north to Mount Butyr to search for the treasure.
After the residents finished their meal, Sejun and his party set out to find the treasure.
About an hour north, a massive mountain came into view.
“Meow?!”
Theo suddenly raised his front paw.
Then,
“Chairman Park, I feel a pull, meow!”
he shouted to Sejun. It seemed this time the hidden treasure was in an easy-to-find spot.
However,
2a09:bac5:47eb:b05::119:6
“Theo, take a break and act as the judge.”
“Meow?! Got it, meow! Vice Chairman Theo will be the judge, meow!”
Instead of immediately retrieving the treasure, Sejun assigned Theo to be the judge. He wanted to enjoy a treasure hunt for the first time in a while.
“Alright. You’ve got 1 hour! Begin!”
And so, the treasure hunt began.
“This spot looks suspicious.”
Sejun placed his bare hand on a suspicious rock and destroyed it to search for treasure.
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Power of magic…”
Iona searched for treasure using magic detection.
Kueng!
Cuengi simply started digging into the ground at random.
And then,
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Great Blackie will find it using his extraordinary sense of smell!]
Blackie sniffed around with his nose to the ground, searching for treasure.
While everyone diligently searched for treasure, the hour passed.
“Puhuhut. One hour is up, meow!”
Judge Theo announced the end of the time. In the end, no one found the treasure.
Then,
“Puhuhut. Cuengi dug in the wrong place, meow! We should’ve dug here, meow!”
Theo dug at the wall located near the middle of the hole Cuengi had been working on, and a massive iron door appeared.
Originally, the treasure had been hidden on the mountainside, but over time, soil had piled up above it, burying it underground.
Kueng…
Thanks to that, Cuengi was deeply disappointed.
“Hehehe. Alright. Let’s see what’s in here.”
Clang.
When Sejun opened the iron door,
Rumble…
-This place can only be entered by those who are permitted. For those who are not permitted, there is only death.
A massive golem guarding the treasure rose and attacked Sejun and his party.
But,
“Hiya.”
As Sejun extended his bare hand, it vanished effortlessly.
And then,
“Oh!”
An enormous pile of treasure, previously hidden behind the golem’s body, came into view.
“Guys, let’s load it up!”
Clang.
Just as Sejun opened the Void Storage to store the jewels,
“Huh?!”
Kkirorong.
Eomorong.
Kkirurung.
…
..
.
The Blackie Family was sprawled out sleeping on the floor of the void storage.
Half-eaten roasted and dried sweet potatoes were still in their mouths, and Blackie’s belly was even rounder than before the diet.
Though they said they were going treasure hunting, they had been secretly eating the roasted and dried sweet potatoes inside the Void Storage.
“Hey! Park Blackie!”
Sejun’s furious shout rang out.
However,
Butler. You like the great Blackie even if he’s chubby, right? You do? Hehe. I know.
Having a good dream, Blackie smiled without waking up.
