“Heh heh. Even the Creator God can’t trick the clever Sejun.”
Theo’s Mental World.
Thud. Thud.
“Hehehe. It’s been a while, Battler! What’s the matter?”
Theo appeared, clinging to the knees of the colossal Chairman Park No. 2.
“Haha. Vice Chairman Theo, these two said they want to join Sejun Company, so I brought them.”
Battler laughed heartily, pointing to Beb and Thunder.
“Nice to meet you. I am Beb, the God of Valor, who supports the brave.”
“I am Thunder, the God of Storms, who commands wind and lightning.”
The two introduced themselves to Theo.
“I am Theo! I’m the right-hand cat of the great Chairman Park, the deadly Dragon Claw, the Hybrid Golden Cat, and a very lucky merchant!”
Theo introduced himself, not wanting to be outdone.
As their introductions concluded,
“Hehehe. Beb and Thunder, put your thumbprints here!”
Theo handed them a contract with his and Blackie’s paw prints on it.
Theo had prepared thousands of contracts. He gave Blackie dried sweet potato as a reward, knowing a day like this might come.
Press.
Press.
As the two stamped the contract,
“Hehehe. Welcome to Sejun Company, Beb and Thunder!”
Theo welcomed them.
“Haha. You just stamped it, right? Beb, from now on, speak to me with utmost respect. Got it?!”
Battler quickly tried to act like he was in charge of Beb.
“What? Where did that come from? Sejun Company doesn’t have any of that seniority nonsense, right?!”
“Hey! What’s with the disrespect? Theo, Beb’s being disrespectful!”
“No. I never…”
Beb tried to argue, but Battler immediately reported him to Theo.
However,
“Hehehe. It’s alright!”
“Huh? Insubordination, I tell you?”
Contrary to Battler’s expectations, Theo wasn’t angry.
“Because from now on, Beb will be managing the combat god employees!”
So Beb wasn’t committing insubordination.
“Ooh yeah!”
“Huh?!”
Beb cheered, while Battler looked disappointed.
Battler had always caused trouble for Sejun. Beb, on the other hand, had been helpful and joined willingly. It was an easy choice.
“Then gods, go back now! I, Vice Chairman Theo, have to sleep early to play with Chairman Park!”
With that, Theo sent the gods out of his mental world, and the combat gods returned to the combat store headquarters.
“Battler.”
“Yeah.”
“Get down.”
“Yeah.”
Battler received Beb’s punishment without complaint.
Theo yawned, feeling sleepy after all the excitement. He closed his eyes.
Sejun’s Mental World.
“Where is this?”
Sejun, who had lost consciousness after drinking strong alcohol, regained consciousness in his mental world.
At that moment,
-Sejun, what did you eat to have your soul so full of energy?
Suddenly, a brilliant, golden light filled Sejun’s mental world. It was so bright, it was almost hard to look at, and it felt warm and powerful.
“Oh… you’re the one from last time, right?”
Sejun asked, looking at the Creator God.
As the Creator God said, today Sejun’s soul was full of energy, so the Creator God’s appearance was a little clearer.
He looked different every time, so he needed to confirm if it was the same being.
-Yes. It is I.
The Creator God answered in a gentle voice and then
-Did you receive the gift the Creator God sent?
He asked Sejun, pretending not to be the Creator God.
However,
“A gift? Did the Creator God send me a gift?!”
Sejun was hearing this for the first time.
-Yes. At Christmas, the Creator God twisted the storm of causality and Santa Sejun…
“Hey. Santa Sejun was made by our Theo.”
-Huh? What are you talking about?! The Creator God made that!
“No! Our Theo…”
He began to argue with the Creator God about who made Santa Sejun,
-That damn cat! How dare he steal the Creator God’s achievement?!
The Creator God’s anger turned to Theo.
“No. Our Theo made Santa Sejun! And if you mess with our Theo, I won’t stand still!”
Sejun warned the Creator God, who was angry at Theo.
-No. I’m not saying I’m going to do anything to Theo…
The Creator God calmed down.
What am I doing?
At the same time, he felt a sense of reality. It seemed like he wouldn’t get anything out of talking to Sejun any longer.
-Actually, the reason I came is because I have something to tell you.
So he brought up the main point of why he came here.
“Something to tell me?”
-Yes.
“What is it?”
-Look carefully under the sea. There will be a Creator God’s monument there.
“What?! The Creator God’s monument is under the sea?! I just looked around the sea…”
-It’s definitely there. And this is a gift.
The Creator God answered in a slightly blunt voice and sent Sejun a blue light mass.
Swoosh.
The mass of light was absorbed into Sejun’s body.
[The power of creation is converted into the most suitable ability for Black Tower Farmer Park Sejun to survive.]
[All stats have increased by 1000.]
[Mental power potential increases by 10,000.]
A message appeared.
“Thank you. But who are you really?”
Sejun thanked him and asked the Creator God, who gave him gifts every time they met. He didn’t seem like an ordinary being.
-I can’t tell you yet.
The Creator God shook his head at Sejun’s question and didn’t reveal his identity.
“Then do you know Emila, the first apostle of the Creator God?”
-Yes. But why are you looking for Emila?
“Actually, I have a few drops of immature Creator God’s tears…”
Sejun said that he wanted to ask Emila to make the immature Creator God’s tears into an elixir of great growth.
-Oh! Did you purify that too?! Haha. I understand. I’ll tell Emila to give you a quest.
“Yes. Thank you. But can I ask you one more thing?”
-Yes. Ask away.
The Creator God’s voice, who was happy to hear that Sejun had purified the Tears of Destruction, became gentle again.
“Have you heard anything about the escaped Creator God?”
-I didn’t run away!
“Yes? No. Why are you getting so excited? Creator God besides you…”
-Get out!
The Creator God hurriedly chased Sejun out of his subconscious to a place where he was conscious.
Blue Tower 77th floor.
“Hmm…”
As Sejun opened his eyes,
Plop. Plop. Plop.
He saw Theo carefully kneading his face.
“Theo, when did you wake up?”
“Hehe. I woke up a little while ago, nya!”
“Is that so? Theo, listen…”
Sejun told him what he heard from the Creator God and asked if he felt any pull from the sea.
“Nya…”
Theo stretched his front paw towards the sea, trying to feel the pull.
However,
“I don’t feel anything, nya… I’m sorry I couldn’t help you, Mr. Park, nya…”
Not feeling any pull, his ears drooped, and he became gloomy.
“It’s okay. Let’s go back into the sea and look again. If we can’t find it, let’s just come out. I don’t trust him for some reason. He gets strangely angry whenever the topic of the escaped Creator God comes up…”
At that moment,
“Huh?!”
Suddenly, Sejun understood something.
Could it be that the person from earlier was the Creator God?!
Then, Sejun realized that the being who appeared in his mental world was the Creator God.
Sejun smiled to himself, feeling quite clever. “Sherlock Sejun strikes again!” he thought.
Sejun was proud of his reasoning skills.
Sejun wasn’t suddenly smarter. The Creator God was just making it very easy to see. Even Sejun could understand.
He got angry as if it were his own problem when Sejun said he didn’t receive a gift from the Creator God. He told him the location of the Creator God’s monument, and he was friends with the Creator God’s apostle.
And he got angry as if he were the one who escaped whenever he was asked about the escaped Creator God.
The Creator God was giving away too many hints, as if he had no intention of hiding it.
But just as he was about to fully enjoy his moment of brilliance, *plop, plop* – Theo’s paws landed on his face again.
“Mr. Park!” Theo chirped, his voice full of excitement. “Guess what, nya? Two new people joined Sejun Company!”
He felt good after making Sejun’s face sag.
“Two? Where are they?”
Sejun thought Theo had encountered robbers or pirates while he was sleeping and looked around, asking.
“Hehe. The gods are not here, nya!”
Theo, seeing Sejun’s reaction, also felt proud of himself.
“Gods?”
“Hehe. That’s right, nya! Beb and Thunder came to my mental world and said they wanted to join Sejun Company, nya! So, I stamped the contract and accepted them as full-time employees, nya!”
This was a new way for people to join Sejun Company.
“Really?! Beb and Thunder came directly to Theo’s mental world and stamped the contract? They weren’t captured?!”
Sejun asked in disbelief.
“Hehe. That’s right, nya!”
Theo nodded vigorously in response.
Is our company that great?! A company that gods come to apply to?!
A company that gods apply to—suddenly, Sejun Company felt much more prestigious.
“And I am the chairman of such a Sejun Company.”
Sejun’s chest swelled with pride.
“Hehe. I am the vice-chairman of Sejun Company, nya!”
“Yes. Our Theo has done a great job.”
Sejun stroked Theo’s head carefully, thinking, I should build achievement monuments for the two of them for their joining achievements.
He decided to build monuments commemorating the joining of the two gods who usually annoyed him and Kkuengi.
And
“Theo, let’s post a full-time employee recruitment notice through Herr.”
“Hehe. Okay, nya! But what should I write, nya?”
“We’ll say that if you apply to Sejun Company and become a full-time employee, we’ll build you an achievement monument.”
He decided to post a recruitment notice using achievement monuments as bait to get gods to join Sejun Company.
“Hehe. Okay, nya! Herr, please post a recruitment notice, nya!”
Theo immediately conveyed Sejun’s words to Herr.
Just then, a message arrived from Herr. [Message from Herr] ‘Can I join too?’
Herr immediately applied to Sejun Company. Herr, the God of Merchants, felt he had nothing to lose. So, he decided to try Sejun Company.
“Hehe. Of course, you can, nya! Herr, come when I’m sleeping later, nya!”
[The God of Merchants, Herr, says he will come to apply later.]
After finishing the conversation with Herr,
“Hehe. As expected, Mr. Park is a genius, nya! Herr has applied, nya!”
Theo praised Sejun.
“Hehe. It’s nothing.”
Sejun grinned and pretended to be humble.
“Hehe.”
Theo also smiled, following Sejun’s lead.
Sejun posted a recruitment notice saying he would build achievement monuments for the gods who became full-time employees.
At that moment,
Grumble.
A sound came from Kkuengi’s stomach as he slept soundly.
“Hehe. Mr. Park, it’s time for dinner, nya!”
Kkuengi’s accurate meal alarm, even while sleeping.
“Everyone, let’s eat dinner.”
Sejun woke up the group and then,
“Is it all dried?”
He checked the seaweed spread out on the rock.
Crunch.
The seaweed made a pleasant sound as it broke apart with a little force.
“Good. It’s completely dried.”
Sejun thinly applied sesame oil to the dried seaweed and sprinkled salt on it.
And then,
Whoosh.
He quickly grilled the seaweed, keeping a distance so it wouldn’t burn.
The aroma of seaweed and salt, carried on the scent of sesame oil, filled the air.
Kkueng? Kkueng!
[What’s that smell? It smells like it’s going to be delicious!]
“Hehe. Here, ah.”
Sejun put a piece of cut seaweed into Kkuengi’s mouth, who was excited by the smell of grilled seaweed.
Crunch.
Kkueng!
Kkuengi, having eaten the seaweed, hurriedly brought his rice.
Like a food detective, he realized that seaweed was a rice thief.
“Theo and Blackie, do you want to try some?”
“No, nya! I, Theo, will eat grilled fish that Mr. Park grilled, nya!”
Squeak! Squeak!
[No! Give me sweet potato snacks made by my butler!]
Of course, Theo and Blackie rejected the offer.
“Kkuengi, instead of eating rice and seaweed separately, it’s also delicious to wrap the rice in seaweed like this.”
Kkueng! Kkueng!
[As expected, Daddy is a genius! It’s more delicious!]
Sejun taught Kkuengi how to eat seaweed more deliciously and ate his meal.
Snore.
Grumble.
Gurgle.
Chirp.
…
..
.
He fell asleep again.
News travels fast, even news about a small company by the sea.
“What?! If you become a full-time employee of Sejun Company, run by Mutta Park, you get an achievement monument?!”
“And Herr says the achievement monument is so amazing that it can’t even be compared to existing achievement monuments!”
The Seed Shop headquarters was in an uproar at the news that Sejun was hiring full-time employees.
