Sejun looked at the sausages hanging from the tree. “It’s all about the taste,” he thought. “Yes, absolutely.”
“Three quests at once?”
Sejun read the quests quickly.
One special quest and two normal quests.
“The special quest is…”
The special quest was to find someone named Patrick. Patrick was the Earth God, and he was trapped on the 35th floor of the Golden Tower. Sejun needed to free him.
“Patrick, huh…”
Patrick, huh… Wait a minute. Wasn’t Patrick the name of the Earth God? The one who owned the straw hat Sejun always wore?
If Sejun freed Patrick, he might get a reward. Maybe Patrick would make his straw hat better. Or, since Patrick was an Earth God, maybe he would give Sejun lots of gems.
“Hehehe. I can’t wait! Hmm, but how do I get to the Golden Tower? Maybe Theo can get me permission to go there…”
“Ah, no. Wait. I can go to the special market now, right? Maybe I should try to find the permission myself there?”
First, I’ll go to the special market and try to get permission for the 35th floor of the Golden Tower myself. If I can’t find it there, I’ll ask Theo for help.
“But what’s the Potion of Growth?”
It’s a reward you get for many quests.
I guess I’ll have to receive it to find out.
Sejun looked closely at the special quest.
“This one is easy for me.”
Sejun then looked at the other two normal quests.
Feed each of the dragons a glass of golden Samyang brew.
Break the magic seals on the gods.
Both were things Sejun was already doing.
“But wouldn’t it be hard to feed them just one glass each?”
He doubted the dragons would only want to drink one glass. They would definitely ask for more…
“Eileen is good at dealing with dragons,” Sejun thought. “She’ll sort it out, right?”
Sejun looked around after reading the three quests.
Gnolong.
Kkulolong.
Kkilolong.
The dragons were already fast asleep, leaning against Sejun’s body.
“Hey, guys.”
Sejun called out to the dragons, but they didn’t even move. They were fast asleep.
Sejun had no choice but to carry them all to the hotel.
However,
“Ugh… sorry, Yuren.”
He had to leave Yuren behind. Kkuenge could make himself lighter, but Yuren was too heavy to carry.
Instead, he covered Yuren’s body with a cloth and headed to the hotel with the rest of the group.
Michael was now the chairman of Gargel. He asked Jake, the laboratory director, “The results?” Jake showed Michael a tablet.
On the screen was a massively grown Flesh Predator. The Flesh Predator is a type of monster that Gargel has been secretly growing.
As soon as Michael became chairman, he summoned Gargel’s top researchers to a secret laboratory to create a growth potion specifically for the Flesh Predator.
“It grew that much in just a few days?”
“70 hours.”
“Almost three days.”
Michael said in a satisfied voice.
“Good work. Place orders to have all the factories in the world produce the potion to make them grow faster we just developed, and then shut down the laboratory.”
“Yes!” Jake said and went back into the laboratory.
Although he was told to shut down the laboratory, Jake didn’t seem disappointed at all.
“Hehehe. Now 100 million dollars will come in.”
Rather, he was smiling and excited, waiting for the money to be deposited into his account.
He didn’t care why Michael was doing such a crazy thing. He just needed to make money.
“Place orders for the growth potion to all the factories that have been pre-assigned! It’s over! Let’s go back and enjoy our vacation!”
“Yes, Director!” the researchers replied.
Jake told them to order the growth potion from all the factories they were assigned to. The researchers started placing the orders for Gargel.
In that way, the growth potion that would quickly grow the Flesh Predator began to be mass-produced all over the world.
The next morning.
“Mr. Park, you can easily get permission if you go to Mason, the association leader,” Theo said.
“Really? Then let’s go to Mason.”
At Theo’s words, Sejun decided to visit Mason with his group and went down to the hotel restaurant for breakfast.
Arriving at the restaurant,
“Good morning!” Yuren had already taken a seat and was eating breakfast.
After eating breakfast,
Sejun asked Mason, “Do you have permission for the 35th floor of the Golden Tower?”
“I’m sorry! I don’t have it, but I will definitely get it!” Mason replied in a terrified voice.
Why is he like that?
“Then please get it,” Sejun said. Mason nodded quickly.
Suddenly, Sejun felt a familiar feeling. [The Black Tower 75th floor waypoint has been saved.] He was instantly teleported to the waypoint.
“Theo, see you later,” Sejun said. He put Kkuenge and Fenrir into his magic bag and said goodbye to Theo.
Theo was going to take Phoenix to the 95th floor to find Phoenix’s home. Then they would go to the 96th floor to get a stamp from Regius, the Bone King.
“Okay, I understand! See you at home!” Theo said.
“Okay,” Sejun replied. Sejun went to the 99th floor. Theo said, “Time to go!” and went to the 95th floor with Iona, Bbyot, Yuren, and Phoenix.
[Arrived at the Black Tower 99th floor.]
Moo!
[Hello, Sejun!]
“Yeah. Hello.”
As Sejun, who appeared at the waypoint, greeted the Ox King,
Clang.
Kkuenge!
[Master, it’s good to see you!]
Moo!
[Yes!]
Kkuenge opened the magic bag and ran to the Ox King, swinging his palm against the Ox King’s outstretched palm.
Wham!
It was just a high-five, but the sound was enormous.
After finishing the destructive greeting,
“Finally home!” Sejun returned home.
“First, plant the Earth Gems.” Sejun planted the three Earth Gems, which had finished recovering, a little bit apart from each other in the ground and went to find the sausage tree. It was to use the Potion of Harvest. The Earth Gems are special gems that help plants grow.
“Our sausage tree has grown a lot!” Sejun said, looking at the tree that was now as tall as his knee. It was growing well thanks to the nutrients from Fire. Fire is a spirit that helps Sejun grow crops.
Drip.
Sejun dropped a drop of the Potion of Harvest on the sausage tree. The Potion of Harvest is a potion that makes plants grow faster.
Crack.
The sausage tree, having absorbed the Potion of Harvest, began to grow rapidly.
Sejun checked the sausage tree growing and went to another field.
Plop.
[Planted a cherry seed in the land with magic.]
Planted a cherry seed and
Drip.
Dropped a drop of the Potion of Harvest.
Sejun used the rest of the Potion of Harvest on the other young trees: Dark Shadow Cherry, Light-Losing, and blueberry.
The Dark Shadow Cherry and Light-Losing were for the Black Dragon and White Dragon, and the blueberries were… Because the effect is good.
He knew that blueberries would get a special effect if they absorbed energy from the Blue Moon.
As the blueberry absorbed the energy of the Blue Moon,
-When you eat them, you can move very fast for 10 minutes.
As explained, an additional effect was created.
In addition, the magic power that originally increased rose from 1 to 5.
And
-The blueberries had already absorbed Blue Moon energy once. They could absorb it up to three times in total.
That meant they could get two more special effects! Time was important. Sejun wanted to grow as many blueberries as possible before the Blue Moon came again.
So, he used three drops of the Potion of Harvest on the blueberries.
After using all the potion, Sejun went to where he made drinks and started making golden Samyang brew for the dragons.
Soon after, Sejun used his drink-making skill. [Drink-Making Skill Level 4 used.] [The drink will be ready one day faster because of Drink-Making Skill Level 4.] [It’s becoming a little faster because of Drink-Making Skill Level 4.] [The taste is becoming a little better because of Drink-Making Skill Level 4.] [Drink-Making Skill Level 4 is slightly improving.]
When he finished, Sejun said, “I need to eat.” *Nom.* He took out Eileen’s cookie from his pocket and ate it quickly. Eileen is a friend who often gives Sejun cookies.
[Eileen’s special cookie eaten.] [All abilities become a little stronger.] [Something special happens when you eat all kinds of food.] [989 cookies left.]
Kkuenge went to the western forest. Kkilolong was there. Fenrir had eaten a snack recently and was sleeping in his bag, so he didn’t need to eat now.
Slurp. Sejun ate 10 of Eileen’s cookies and drank coffee, resting for a while. *Whirr.* [Hello, Sejun.] Dalkomi greeted him. It seemed like she had visited the Queen Bee again today.
“How is your work going with the Queen Bee?” Sejun asked. *Whirr. Whirr.* [It’s the same as always. I’m doing a good job, right?] Dalkomi said, feeling proud.
“Really? You’re amazing, Dalkomi.” At Sejun’s praise, Dalkomi rubbed her body against Sejun’s face, feeling shy.
Sejun talked with Dalkomi. “That’s right, Dalkomi. I think we should send some bees to the 75th floor of the tower…” Sejun was thinking about what to do with the acacia trees. *Ah, acacia honey!* Sejun suddenly thought of acacia honey. He decided to send some bees to the acacia tree farm on the 75th floor.
Dalkomi is a bee that works for Sejun, and the acacia tree farm is a place where acacia trees grow.
*Whirr.* [Then I’ll talk to the Queen Bee and see if any young queen bees want to start their own groups.]
“Okay. Thank you.” Sejun talked with Dalkomi a little longer. Then he thought, “I wonder if the sausages are ready now?” He went to check the sausage tree.
Have you ever seen a miracle tree with sausages hanging from it?
Hehehe. I saw it.
“Oh!” Sejun ran to the sausage tree in a hurry with an excited expression and harvested the sausages.
[10 Vienna sausages harvested.] [Your job is improving.] [Your harvesting skill is improving.] [You got 10 points.] They were just normal sausages, with no special powers.
But Sejun didn’t mind. ‘It’s all about the taste,’ he thought, remembering the opening line. ‘Yes. Absolutely.’
[Our sausage is doing well! Eat more!]
In the basement, Fire’s roots were giving nutrients and cheering for the sausages.
The sausage, encouraged by Fire’s cheering, was diligently absorbing nutrients and growing stronger. It seemed like it would become the youngest World Tree.
“Hehehe. How should I eat these sausages to make it known that I ate them well?” Without knowing that another World Tree was being born in the basement, Sejun was worrying about how to eat the sausages more deliciously.
Black Tower 95th floor.
“Is that Phoenix over there?!” Theo asked in an excited voice, looking at the top of a huge mountain.
He couldn’t help but be excited.
The top of the mountain looked like it had snowed, but if you looked closely, it was all skeletons. There seemed to be about 300,000 of them.
They were waiting to catch Phoenix when he returned.
Cluck! Cluck!
[Yes! They are all Regius’s soldiers!]
“Very good!” Theo laughed and ran forward, taking out the treasure Sejun had given him from the wandering merchant’s bundle, the Nine Towers.
“Meow!” As Theo, shining with golden light while burning the treasure, swung his front paw,
Wham!
A huge golden paw that appeared from the sky covered the mountain, and the huge mountain collapsed as Theo’s giant paw was imprinted on it.
This is Theo’s new skill, the Meow Meow Divine Palm!
“If you want to eat this, move your thumb bone!” Theo showed the broken skeletons a fish bone.
Clatter. Clatter.
The skeletons were diligently moving their thumb bones. Thanks to them, Bbyot and Yuren were able to stamp the documents very comfortably.
But there were too many skeletons.
“You guys help with the stamping too!” So the newly controlled skeletons were also put into stamping.
Then, the number of skeletons receiving stamps on the contract increased rapidly, one, two, four, eight… and the stamping was finished in an instant.
“Let’s go to the 96th floor of the tower!” Theo led 300,000 skeletons and moved to the 96th floor of the tower. He wasn’t trying to make them fight, but to help with the stamping.
As Theo left,
Cluck…
[My home… ] Phoenix began to repair his nest, which had been destroyed by Theo’s Meow Meow Divine Palm.
