Silver Tower 99th floor.
Whoosh.
“Grow.”
Ophelia used her skill and sprinkled mugwort seeds.
As soon as the seeds touched the soil
Creak. Creak.
They began to quickly take root and grow.
Hehe. Soon I will be able to eat lots of food made by Sejun.
Ophelia happily spent her time imagining what kind of dishes Sejun would bring to the dragons’ meeting.
A little later.
[Your job experience has slightly increased.]
…
..
.
“Hehe. The one responsible for Sejun’s life is none other than me, the great Green Dragon, Ophelia Iorg.”
Ophelia proudly harvested the mugwort.
***
Black Tower 99th floor.
Nod.
“Sejun No. 12, thank you for your hard work.”
Sejun bowed his head to Sejun No. 12, who crumbled into powder, and expressed his gratitude.
It had been six days since Sejun began seriously preparing dishes for the dragons’ meeting. Sejun No. 12’s expiration date had ended.
Thanks to that, Sejun had to prepare the remaining dishes alone, but it was fine since everything except the main dish was already completed.
Originally, a few days ago, he had planned to reinforce his workforce by receiving three dragon fruits through Hel and sprouting them, but among Sejun’s skills,
A dragon fruit that had replicated the skills of Greenhouse and Laying Grass.
A dragon fruit that had replicated the skills of Vitality and Maintaining Cleanliness.
A dragon fruit that had replicated the skills of Transplanting and Weed Pulling.
all of them turned out to be duds.
So, one went off to lay grass in the Black Minotaur’s area, another was doing the dishes, and the last one…
Where did this one go?
It must be somewhere pulling weeds or transplanting trees. Since it was a copy of Sejun, it could not possibly be idle.
Thus, the kitchen, where Sejun No. 12 had disappeared.
“Vice Chairman Theo, are you ready, meow?”
“Puhuhut. I am ready, meow! I even cleaned my dragon claws, meow!”
“Good. Cuengi, are you ready?”
Kueng! Kueng!
[Cuengi is ready! Cuengi is now a sous-chef!]
Sejun started preparing the main dishes for the dragons’ meeting with Theo and Cuengi.
The menu consisted of three dishes: stir-fried squid, fried squid, and squid cold soup.
“Vice Chairman Theo, please chop the vegetables.”
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!”
Chop.Chop.Chop.
Theo chopped the vegetables that would go into the stir-fried squid. The vegetables were crops imbued with the energy of the Blue Moon that were harvested yesterday.
“Cuengi, please make the batter for the frying.”
Kueng!
[Understood!]
104.28.193.250
Cuengi made the batter for the fried squid.
“Then, I will make the seasoning sauce.”
Thus, while Sejun, Theo, and Cuengi were cooking hard
Kihihit.
When the food is ready, I’ll steal it secretly without the butler noticing.
Blackie hid behind the kitchen door, looking for a chance to steal the finished dishes.
Although the roasted and dried sweet potato was the tastiest
Hehe. Food secretly eaten without the butler knowing is even more delicious!
Blackie was enjoying the thrill.
While everyone was in the kitchen
Kyaong!
Udadata.
Suddenly, Baektang ran into the kitchen like a bolt of lightning.
Baektang’s goal, of course, was
This time, I will succeed!
Naturally, Sejun’s lap.
However
“Haak! Haak!”
Theo, who appeared before anyone knew it, blocked Baektang’s path and hissed.
As Theo became angry
Kyaong…
Baektang immediately flopped over and showed his belly. He was quick to give up.
As Theo successfully defended Sejun’s lap once again
Piyo!
[Hello, Sejun-nim!]
“Uhehehe. Hello, Sejun-nim! Are you cooking? I have not eaten yet. Uhehehe. Just saying.”
“Mohehehe. Hello!”
Nyongnyong! Ppokppok! Jjaekjjaek!
Piyot, Uren, and Poyo entered the kitchen with the other guards.
However
“You are shedding fur.”
After seeing Sejun’s stern expression, they hurriedly fled outside.
Sejun was a man who took cooking seriously. He was a cooking-serious man.
A little later.
When the main dish was almost ready
“Guys, go catch some fire moths from the Void Storage for us to eat.”
Sejun said to the group resting outside and returned into the kitchen.
There were no black flame fire moths since he caught them in the morning, but there were plenty of white flame and blue flame fire moths.
And since Theo’s chopped vegetables, Cuengi’s batter, and Sejun’s seasoning sauce remained, he was thinking of making a downgraded version of the three squid dishes they had just made.
Piyo! Piyo!
[Yes! Leave it to us!]
“Uhehehe. I will catch a lot!”
Thus, Piyot and Uren headed to the Fire Moth Farm.
However, Sejun and Piyot overlooked one thing.
They did not notice that Poyo, who should have been by Uren’s side, had disappeared.
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Poyo! Bring that to great Blackie!]
“Mohehehe. Yes!”
Under Blackie’s command, Poyo was stealing food.
“Poyo, what are you doing?”
Of course, he was caught quickly by Sejun.
“I am following the orders of the great Blackie-nim…”
Poyo reported the truth to Sejun
Kking!
[Run away!]
Blackie ran away trying to save himself alone.
However
“Blackie, if you don’t come back now, I’ll add one more week to your diet!”
Kking!
[No!]
Unfair butler!
Because of the diet, Blackie had no choice but to return.
“Who told you to order Poyo to steal food?! Huh?!”
Kking…
“And Poyo, just because Blackie tells you to…”
As Sejun was scolding Blackie and Poyo,
“Huh?!”
Why is Poyo here alone?! Then where is Uren?!
Realizing something was wrong, a chill ran down his spine and goosebumps rose.
At that moment
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I feel a pull, meow!”
Theo shouted in a bright voice, raising his front paws, and
“Hehehe.”
A blessing in disguise.
Osooso.
Sejun got goosebumps again, but this time, they were in a good way.
***
Creak.
Piyo.
[Here it is.]
“Wow. There are so many.”
Piyot and Uren entered the Fire Moth Farm.
Piyo?! Piyo?
[Huh?! Where is Poyo?]
Flap. Flap.
Only then did Piyot realize that Poyo was not by Uren’s side and busily flew around inspecting Uren’s body.
“Uhehehe. I do not know.”
As Uren cheerfully answered Piyot
Crack.
A cracking sound was heard from the center of the farm.
Piyo?
[What is that sound?]
When Piyot looked toward the source of the sound, there was a crack on the blade of the [Surtr’s Flame Sword] located at the center of the farm.
Fwoosh.
Blue flames were erupting from the cracked area.
And then
Whoosh.
The five Fire Essences around the area also started to go berserk in response.
Piyo!
[Uren-nim!]
Piyot immediately got angry at Uren. Whenever something bad happened, it was usually Uren’s fault.
“Sorry.”
Uren also immediately apologized. Since most bad things usually were his fault.
Fwoosh.
The flames grew stronger and expanded their power, and Piyot and Uren hurriedly ran out of the room.
And then
Fwoosh.
The flames tried to follow them out.
Slam!
Piyot quickly closed the door. As the door closed, they saw the Fire Moths engulfed by the flames absorbing the fire and multiplying rapidly.
Even though the door was closed
Sizzle.
The flames on the other side of the door began to melt it.
Considering that this was a void space where dimensions were separated, it was an extremely serious situation.
It meant the flames were so strong that the dimension could not withstand them.
At that moment
“Hehehe. I knew it would be here.”
“Puhuhut. It is all thanks to me, meow!”
A frivolous but strangely reassuring laughter echoed as Sejun and Theo, clinging to Sejun’s knee, appeared.
“Huh? The door is melting?”
“Puhuhut. Great Hybrid Chairman Park, I feel the pull from beyond the door, meow!”
“I know.”
Responding to Theo’s words, Sejun pulled out a red pipe from his pocket and bit it. It was the [Flame Devourer].
“Poyo, stick closely to Uren.”
“Mohehehe. Yes!”
After assigning Poyo to Uren,
“Let’s go.”
“Puhuhut. Let’s go, meow!”
Sejun absorbed the flames with the Flame Devourer and crossed the almost completely melted door, entering the Fire Moth Farm.
The fiery energy that the Flame Devourer could not absorb touched Sejun,
“Ugh. Feels refreshing.”
but it only made Sejun, who held the <Title: Reborn from Flames>, feel good.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I will absorb it for you, meow! Meow!”
Even that fiery energy was diligently absorbed by the loyal Theo using his Talent: Energy Absorber.
Originally, he could only absorb ordinary energy, but at some point, Theo became able to freely absorb attribute energy as well.
Sejun just accepted it. That’s just how Theo was.
As Sejun went deeper into the farm, the inside was nothing short of a blast furnace.
With the overflowing powerful fiery energy, a massive number of ordinary fire moths with red flame wings were born.
The ordinary fire moths threw themselves into the red flames to be reborn as White Flame Fire Moths.
The White Flame Fire Moths then hurled themselves into the white flames to evolve into Blue Flame Fire Moths, and the Blue Flame Fire Moths threw themselves into the blue flames to be reborn as Black Flame Fire Moths.
The [Surtr’s Flame Sword] had already exhausted all its heat and lay on the ground, and the Fire Essences were the same.
I will have to ask Ramter-nim to recreate it using about ten Fire Essences this time.
That much would be needed to replace Surtr’s Flame Sword.
As Sejun was thinking about rebuilding the fire moth farm
“Huh?!”
Sejun saw the Black Flame Fire Moths throwing themselves into the black flames.
There was an even higher evolution?!
“Hehehe. Vice Chairman Theo, I am so happy right now.”
“Puhuhut. If you listen to me, you will become happy just by staying still, meow! So, great Hybrid Chairman Park, from now on, just trust me alone, meow!”
Theo became full of himself at Sejun’s words.
“Sure.”
Sejun accepted it lightly because he was in a good mood.
Whoosh. Whoosh.
[You have gained 3000 experience points, which is 50% of the experience points obtained by Park Theo.]
…
..
.
The two waited while defeating the fire moths that approached, waiting for the Black Flame Fire Moths to finish evolving.
After about ten minutes passed
……
A fire moth that had finished its evolution very quietly appeared.
[Pitch-Black Flame Fire Moth]
It was a fire moth the size of a dump truck with pitch-black wings that absorbed the surrounding fiery energy and made the surroundings even darker.
At that moment
Flap.
When the Pitch-Black Flame Fire Moth spread its huge pitch-black wings
Sssr.
The fire moths around it began to die.
Because all the fiery energy was sucked away by its pitch-black wings.
Fire that extinguishes fire. That was the power possessed by the Pitch-Black Flame Fire Moth.
At the same time, the wings and body of the Pitch-Black Flame Fire Moth, which absorbed the fiery energy, continued to grow larger.
“Hehehe. Grow a lot.”
Sejun watched it with satisfaction.
However
“Meow?!”
What, meow? Why is the pull getting weaker, meow?!
As the Pitch-Black Flame Fire Moth grew larger, Theo’s sense of pull strangely weakened.
The reason was…
Kking! Kking! Kking!
[Butler! No! If that thing fully grows into an Apostle of Destruction, you will be in danger! And the fire moths will go extinct!]
Noticing that something was wrong, Blackie rushed over and warned him.
The reason calamities evolve is ultimately to become Apostles of Destruction.
The Pitch-Black Flame Fire Moth was also growing by absorbing fiery energy and was in the process of becoming an Apostle of Destruction. Once it fully became one, Sejun would be endangered, and the fire moths, having served their purpose, would go extinct.
That was why Theo’s pull was weakening.
“Meow!”
As soon as Theo realized why his pull was weakening,
Gulp.
He voluntarily ate the black bean set that he hated.
And then.
Burn brightly, meow!
He swung his front paw while burning money at full power, and
Bam!
Theo defeated the Pitch-Black Flame Fire Moth using the Tekku-Park Manbo Meteor Tribe Leader skill. In return, Sejun’s account balance returned to zero.
It was quite cheap for the cost of defeating an Apostle of Destruction.
[You have gained 1 trillion experience points, which is 50% of the experience points acquired by Park Theo.]
[Through the effect of <Title: Owner of the Calamity Farm>, you have gained an additional 2 trillion experience points.]
[You have leveled up.]
…
..
.
Thus, the Pitch-Black Flame Fire Moth, born from Uren’s misfortune, ended its brief tour of the world and was reborn into Sejun’s level-up experience points and delicious squid dishes.
And then
Kyaong?!
[Vice Chairman Theo received a punishment banning him from approaching Sejun-nim’s lap for 1 hour?!]
This is it!
Baektang, who gave up easily but also quickly gave up on giving up, began to dream of a plot to seize Sejun’s lap. Whether it would succeed or not was unknown.
Sejun’s lap was something Baektang wanted even more because he couldn’t have it.
