Black Tower, 75th floor.
“Vice Chairman Theo~nim, here it is.”
Mason, who could only buy 30 million invitations due to the lack of funds in the Wandering Merchant Association, handed over 30 trillion Tower Coins to Theo.
Because the quantity was severely insufficient, among Sejun, Minotaur King, and Pink-fur, only Pink-fur would provide support.
“Puhuhut. Mason~nim, if you want to earn the support of the great hybrid Chairman Park, you’ll need to work harder…meow?!”
While Theo was saying that to Mason as he received the money, he suddenly began looking around.
It seems Chairman Park is getting closer, meow! And the direction isn’t above but below, meow!
“Puhuhut. Looks like Chairman Park personally went to sell the invitations to Wol-bok, meow!”
Based on the sensitivity of the Sejun Knee Detector, Theo was convinced that Sejun was on the 55th floor of the Tower.
“Then we’ll stop by the Mercenaries Association before heading to the Lizard Kingdom on the 70th floor of the tower, meow!”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Yes.”
And so, Theo and his group left the headquarters of the Wandering Merchant Association and moved to the headquarters of the Freelance Mercenaries Association headquarters.
For reference, the headquarters of the Freelance Mercenaries Association was located two blocks away.
A little later.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
Theo knocked on the door of the Mercenaries Association Chairman’s office.
But.
“Meow? Why isn’t Hannibal~nim here, meow?!”
There was no one inside.
As soon as Hannibal heard that Mason had been fleeced by Theo, he ran away by accepting a random request.
However.
“Kyoot? Theo~nim, it looks like Hannibal~nim went to the 71st floor of the Tower for a request. Since we’re headed that way, we can stop by as we go.”
Iona looked through the request log on Hannibal’s desk and figured out his destination.
“Puhuhut. Good, meow! Then let’s depart quickly, meow!”
And so, Theo and his companions began descending the Tower.
A little while later.
“Meow?! That’s Hannibal~nim, meow!”
“Huh?!”
They happened to meet Hannibal, who had let his guard down and was resting leisurely with his subordinates in the merchant passageway, thinking he had escaped well.
“Puhuhut. Hannibal~nim, buy the birthday party invitations of our great hybrid Chairman Park, meow! For you, I’ll start with a special offer of 100,000 invitations, meow!”
Theo’s irresistible sales pitch began.

Black Tower, 55th floor.
Poor Master Bo, he’s doomed.
Sejun looked pitifully at Bochi, who was clinging onto Lara’s father’s leg hair.
Trying to attack your father-in-law…
From Sejun’s point of view, this marriage was over.
He figured he’d have to buy Master Bo a consolation drink later.
And just as he was thinking of buying Bochi some drinks and introducing him to a new girlfriend,
Ppip.
[Father, please stop now.]
Lara stepped in and tried to stop her father, Raulo.
Ppip! Ppip?! Ppip!
[Stop what! Lara, you saw it too, didn’t you?! This guy tried to kill me!]
Raulo, still burning with rage, shouted angrily.
Ppip. Ppip.
[But he didn’t kill you. So it’s fine.]
Ppip?! Ppip?!
[What do you mean by that?! Is that something to say to a father who almost died?!]
Ppip? Ppip.
[Father, then is it okay if I tell mom about your secret fund? I think I even know the location.]
Ppip.
[I forgive your crime.]
At the mention of a secret fund, he quickly calmed down.
However.
Kyoop! Kyoop!
[Father-in-law, thank you! I will work hard to live well with Lara from now on!]
Ppip?! Ppip!
[When did I say I approved the marriage?! I said I’d forgive you for trying to kill me!]
Raulo got angry again at Bochi’s words.
And then.
Ppip. Ppip. Ppip.
[Se.cret.Fund.]
Ppip! Ppip! Ppip!
[No! Absolutely don’t tell your mother! Please take good care of my daughter!]
At Lara’s words, Raulo did another complete 180.
Sejun didn’t know how much was in Raulo’s secret fund, but he had a pretty good sense of how precious it was to him.
And so, Bochi and Lara’s marriage was decided in an instant.
“Uh…”
Master Bo is getting married before me?!
Sejun was deeply shocked to see Bochi’s marriage being settled in front of his eyes like beans popping on a hot pan.
First, he was shocked that his judgment as a so-called romance expert(?) had been wrong.
Second, the fact that the marriage was settled in this atmosphere.
And finally…
No! The 300-year single soldier has deserted!
He was surprised that Bochi, who was definitely the pillar of the singles corps, had been discharged.
And it wasn’t even through dating, it was straight to marriage.
That’s too fast!
They say if you’re jealous, you lose…
‘Damn. I’m jealous.’
Sejun couldn’t hide his envy.
Thanks to that, Sejun’s face began to become ugly.
Kueng! Kueng!
[Dad’s face has become super ugly! Quickly fix your face!]
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe! Butler’s face is getting ugly! Let’s stomp it!]
Cuengi and Blackie quickly rushed to Sejun’s face and stomped on it wildly.
After getting his face stepped on, Sejun snapped out of his shock.
“Let’s eat first.”
Ppyak! Ppyak!
[Prepare the meal! Uncle, follow me!]
Following the guidance of Heuk Wol-bok, they headed to the dining hall together.
***
Farming School.
“Hey, seriously now. You think this old man is deceiving you? I personally taught Chairman Park of Sejun Company how to farm. And I was even the No.1 founding member of Sejun Company.”
“Grandpa, you’re lying again.”
“Grandpa, you’re lying to us again, aren’t you?”
“Last time you said you could eat 100 carrots and couldn’t even finish them all!”
“And the thing about Uncle Theo coming if we don’t listen, that was a lie too, right?!”
“We know everything now!”
“Liar!”
Once again, Wolgang was being ignored by the baby rabbits today.
He found it so fun to tease the baby rabbits with lies that he did it often, and now that habit had come back to bite him. He had become the shepherd grandpa no one believed anymore.
Unfortunately, the baby rabbits who had met Sejun in the past had already graduated, so there was no one to vouch for Wolgang’s words.
No. There was one person, but
“Honey…”
“Hmph!”
Wolha wouldn’t help. Because Wolgang hadn’t included her as founding member No.1 with him.
As husband and wife, they should be united, but being treated like No.2 number two didn’t sit right with her.
At that moment.
Swoosh.
Suddenly, a black rabbit appeared in front of Wolgang.
“Wolgang~nim, Sejun~nim has arrived at the White Castle.”
He was part of the security team guarding Wolgang and Wolha and also responsible for relaying news from the royal family.
And then.
“What?! Sejun~nim has arrived?!”
Overcome with emotion at the news of Sejun’s arrival, Wolgang regained his confidence.
“You little kids, just wait a little longer! Sejun~nim will show up and go ‘Rawr!’ and take all the bad rabbits away.”
He began bluffing loudly at the baby rabbits again, but
“Hehe. We don’t believe Grandpa anymore!”
“Nyah nyah.”
Since he had completely lost the trust of the baby rabbits, his words had no effect at all.
Sejun~nim, please come quickly and go ‘Rawr!’
Thinking that all this distrust would disappear as soon as Sejun arrived, Wolgang said,
“Alright. Let’s plant some carrots now.”
“Liar!”
“Don’t believe you!”
“Hey, this time it’s true.”
“Yokki’s not falling for it!”
“Yokki, I’m telling the truth! Look! Grandpa’s planting carrots!”
And so he began a difficult class with baby rabbits who didn’t believe him.
***
White Castle Dining Hall.
Kkwek…
[Lara~ssi…]
Bochi clung to Lara with a look like he could die from happiness.
Since they were already engaged, there didn’t seem to be a problem, but
104.28.193.250
“Ahem. Master Bo, please maintain your dignity. The King of the Red Ribbon, Heuk Wol-bok, is here. This is improper.”
Ppip! Ppip.
[The words of the Great Black Dragon~nim are right! Son-in-law Bochi, maintain decorum.]
Sejun and Raulo, both very displeased with Bochi, glared with fierce eyes and interfered.
“Lara’s father, we get along well, don’t we?”
When Sejun offered his fist to Raulo,
Ppip.
[Great Black Dragon~nim, it is an honor.]
Raulo, with an overly reverent expression, carefully bumped his fluffy white paw, covered in soft fur, against Sejun’s fist.
As they continued talking, food was brought out, and the conversation carried on as they ate.
“Master Bo, so when are you getting married?”
Kyoop!
[Right now!]
“That soon? Isn’t that too fast?”
Sejun shook his head at Bochi’s answer, and
Ppip!
[To think I have to send my daughter to someone so impulsive with no plans!]
Raulo was outraged.
Kyoop?
[Then… one month from now?]
Bochi changed his answer, gauging Raulo’s reaction.
“That’s too late, isn’t it?”
At Bochi’s revised answer, Sejun shook his head again.
Ppip!
[To think I have to send my daughter to someone so indecisive and lacking in initiative!]
Raulo was furious once more.
What do you want from me?!
Bochi was completely confused about how to respond.
Hehehe. Serves him right.
There’s fun in teasing him.
Watching Bochi struggle, Sejun and Raulo were secretly enjoying themselves. The truth was, they both disapproved of Bochi and Lara’s marriage and were simply bullying him for fun.
As Bochi was unable to decide on a wedding date due to Raulo’s constant glare,
Ppyak!
[Just have it on my birthday!]
Heuk Wol-bok picked the wedding date for them.
Wol-bok’s birthday…
“My birthday?”
Kueng?!
[It’s Cuengi’s birthday?!]
Kking?
[The birth anniversary of Great Blackie?]
Since they shared the same birthday, it didn’t really matter whose it was, but the group all tried to claim it as their own.
“Alright. Let’s do that. We’ll just hold the wedding during the birthday party on the 99th floor of the Tower.”
Come to think of it, having the wedding and party on the same day meant they wouldn’t have to prepare separately, so Sejun agreed.
However, he didn’t yet realize that doing so would cause the hamsters from <Hamk> to flood in like clouds to attend Bochi’s wedding.
Thus, the number of party guests kept growing.
A little later.
After the meal ended,
“But do we have enough ingredients?”
Clank.
Sejun opened the Void Storage to check if they had enough ingredients for the party.
Most of the food supplies had already been used up while preparing for the dragons’ meeting.
Originally, he had expected about 10,000 guests, so he hadn’t thought they’d run short, but with wedding guests being added, he’d have to recalculate.
“For a wedding, noodles and steak are a must…”
Sejun examined the ingredients.
“As expected, there’s not much.”
There was no slime meat at all, and the rest of the ingredients were also insufficient.
“I’ll have to start by restocking slime. Cuengi, let’s go hunt some slime together.”
Kueng!
[Understood!]
They entered the room where the slimes were.
Kueng!
With a single punch from Cuengi, they caught the necessary number of slimes.
[You have earned 150 billion experience points, which is 50% of the experience gained by Black Tower’s Advanced Herbalist Park Cuengi.]
[As a result of the <Title: Owner of the Calamity Farm>, you have gained an additional 300 billion experience points.]
…
..
.
[Congratulations.]
[You have leveled up.]
[You have obtained 10 bonus stat points.]
[Your Strength has increased by 30.]
[Your Strength potential has increased by 1%.]
[Congratulations.]
[You have leveled up.]
…
..
.
Sejun gained two levels and reached level 193.
After securing the slime meat,
Clank.
Sejun opened the void storage to take a look inside. He knew it was empty, but like opening the fridge for no reason, he just wanted to open it.
And then.
“Wow. Why is there so much money?!”
Seeing the Tower Coins and treasures piled up in the room, Sejun beamed brightly.
“Hehehe. Looks like Vice Chairman Theo sold the invitations at a really high price, huh?”
Well, of course. To eat the food made by me, Park Sejun, the Black Tower’s Tower Farmer, this much is only natural.
Sejun puffed himself up with pride.
At that moment.
Chwarururuk.
An enormous amount of treasure poured into the void storage.
Chwarururuk.
And it filled up again.
Why is the money still increasing?
Sejun’s smug expression stiffened. Something felt ominous.
Chwarururuk.
Even at that moment, the money kept pouring in without stopping.
This was clearly strange…
He didn’t know how much the invitations were being sold for, but this wasn’t right. Something was off.
And.
There’s no way this much money came from selling just ten thousand invitations.
Sejun was sure of it.
‘Theo, you rascal! I told you to only sell ten thousand!’
He realized Theo was causing trouble.
“Aileen, please hold on to this money for me.”
Sejun, first of all, handed the money in the void storage over to Aileen. If he left it there, one of the three Park brothers would definitely burn it all away.
“Yeah. I’m counting on you.”
And so, Sejun entrusted the vault’s money to the Absolute Vault, Aileen.
“Cuengi, Blackie, let’s go catch your big brother!”
Kueng!
Kking!
They quickly set off to catch Theo, who had caused the trouble. Though, with over 100 million invitations already sold, hurrying probably wouldn’t change much.
And meanwhile.
When is Sejun~nim coming? Did he go for dessert after lunch?
Wolgang endlessly waited for Sejun, who wasn’t coming, at the entrance of the Farming School.
