When you miss me, Hybrid Teo, hold onto this, nyaa!
“Kkweeeeng?! Kkweeeeng!”
“[Why no answer?! Make Daddy wake up quickly!]”
Wham! Kwa-wham!
Kkuengi did not know Sejun and the others were awake. He kept hitting Mobius.
“Kkuengi! I’m awake!”
Sejun called out to Kkuengi from a safe distance, because he might get hurt by the shockwaves from Kkuengi swinging Mobius around.
Sejun shouted loudly.
“Kkweeng?”
“Daddy’s voice, yo!”
Kkuengi’s ears twitched towards Sejun first. Then, Kkuengi quickly turned his head towards Sejun.
“Kkuengi!”
“[Daddy woke up, yo!]”
Thud.
When Kkuengi saw that Sejun was awake, he dropped Mobius’s body. He quickly made himself smaller and flew to Sejun, hugging him tightly.
And then,
“Kkuengi? Kkuengi?”
“[Daddy okay? Hurt anywhere?]”
He carefully checked every part of Sejun’s body.
“Yes. Daddy’s strong, you know.”
Sejun said, showing off his bicep.
But,
“Where strong, yo?”
Kkuengi did not think Sejun’s bicep was very strong.
Of course, Kkuengi loved his daddy and did not say what he was thinking, because he did not want to make Sejun sad.
Instead, his face showed what he felt. Kkuengi was still young and could not hide his feelings well.
Luckily, the others also looked at Sejun’s bicep with doubt, so Kkuengi’s face did not stand out.
A short while later,
“Kkuengi!”
“[Daddy okay, yo!]”
Kkuengi stayed close to Sejun.
“But why is its body still in one piece even after dying?”
Sejun walked to Mobius’s body, wanting to make Theo’s super-giant grilled fish.
At that moment,
Rumble.
Mobius’s mouth opened. Things that Mobius had not digested poured out.
Most of it was soil, wood, and stone, but
“Oh!”
Gems, money, and items could be seen among the dirt.
“I can’t resist seeing things like this!”
“Treasure hunt time?!”
Sejun shouted.
“Puhu! I, Hybrid Teo, Vice President, the number one treasure hunter, will take first place, nyaa!”
“Kkuengi! Kkuengi!”
“[Kkuengi good at treasure hunting too, yo! Find everything by smell, yo!]”
“Hee hee hee! Kking?! Kking!”
“[Hee hee! Playing?! Me play too!]”
Theo, Kkuengi, and the Blackie family said they would join and started looking for treasure.
“Move Earth!”
Sejun also joined the treasure hunt.
And then,
“Kkyung… Dev, I need to find items for you… Kkyuk kkyuk kkyuk. First, I must participate! Detect.”
“I can’t resist a treasure hunt!”
Iona watched for a moment. Then, she used magic to start finding treasure with excitement.
One hour later,
“Hoo. I’m tired.”
Heh heh heh. I found a lot.
Sejun looked proudly at the small pile of treasures he found. Then he wondered,
“Did the kids find a lot?”
He looked at the treasures found by the others.
“Nyaa!”
Flap flap flap.
Theo put his front paws into the ground and found something every time. There were ten treasure mountains made by Theo around him.
“Wow.”
Theo was in first place.
Sejun did not think he could beat Theo, who had the golden paws of luck. So, he looked at the others without worry.
Sniff sniff.
“Kkuengi!”
Kkuengi smelled the treasure to find it. Then, he used telekinesis to lift the dirt pile, spread the dirt, and find the treasure. There were seven treasure mountains made by Kkuengi around him.
Kkuengi was in second place.
“Kkyuk kkyuk kkyuk.”
Iona made three treasure mountains with magic and was in third place.
“Then am I in fourth place?”
He did not need to look at the Blackie family. They could not have found more treasure than him.
However,
“Hee hee hee! Kking!”
“[Hee hee! Kids, we’re beating the butler! Cheer up!]”
“Yes!”
“Kkilook!”
Shine!
“Yes! Umdori-nim, I feel a crystal over there!”
“Kkak!”
“Piyak!”
“Moo moo!”
The Blackie family was doing very well.
Umdori had grown big from eating stones. He put the soil into a net made of spiderwebs by Kkomi and lifted it up.
Shine!
Kkabi used his decay power to break down the soil. Then the broken soil fell out through the net.
Umdori ate the stones, and Mubalchil burned the wood.
Jaki, Karuru, and Shari took the items that were left.
And then,
“Hee hee hee! Kking!”
“[Hee hee! Good job! Find more!]”
Blackie guarded one treasure mountain and cheered on his team.
“I’m losing to the Super Sunfish?!”
Sejun felt worried.
“At this rate, I’ll lose.”
He decided to use his best move.
Thump.
Sejun quickly took out the two Authority Stones he picked up after destroying Mobius’s soul.
“Absorb.”
He thought about absorbing the Authority Stones.
[Authority Stone of the Silent Intruder White Whale Mobius: Absorbs >Authority: Absolute Sense of Smell< contained in the absolute sense of smell.] [Authority Stone of the Silent Intruder White Whale Mobius: Absorbs >Authority: Intrusion< contained in intrusion.] The Authority within the Authority Stones started to go into Sejun. [The target's power to absorb the Authority is greatly insufficient.] [>Authority: Absolute Sense of Smell< cannot be properly absorbed.] [>Authority: Intrusion< cannot be properly absorbed.] [Adjusts the Authority to match the target's power.] [The power of the Authority is greatly reduced.] ······ His stomach felt strange at the message, but he was not very sad because he knew this would happen. However, [>Authority: Absolute Sense of Smell< is greatly downgraded, and Talent: Scent Tracking (Plant Limited) is awakened.] [>Authority: Petty and Timid Intrusion< has been granted.] "Still, the talent is too much!" Sejun was angry that the Authority was changed to a talent. "And why is 'Petty and Timid' in the name..." "This is really too much." Sejun grumbled and looked at his new talent and Authority. [Talent: Scent Tracking (Plant Limited)] Sejun took a deep breath. He had a special gift – he could smell plants from incredibly far away and know exactly where they were growing, almost like magic. *My scent tracking is really useful,* he thought, *especially for a farmer like me.* He also had another ability, something called "Petty and Timid Intrusion," which meant he could secretly reach out and take small things without anyone noticing. He wasn't sure how useful *that* ability was yet, but his plant-smelling talent was definitely handy. Just then, *sniff sniff*. Sejun's nose twitched. He caught a new scent in the air, something he hadn't noticed before. It was a damp, earthy smell, like a cool forest after rain – the scent of moss. "Oh!" Sejun exclaimed softly. "I can smell moss near the lake!" In his mind, he could suddenly see the moss, as clear as if he were standing right in front of it. He knew exactly where it was growing, down to the smallest patch. Sejun thought about another person, Mobius, who had a similar power. But Mobius wasn't as clever as Sejun. Sejun knew he could find food because of his strong sense of smell, not just by taking things secretly. *Sniff sniff.* This is fun. Sejun became engrossed in the fun of finding the location of plants by their scent. Ah. This is not the time for this. The treasure hunt competition was still in progress. Heh heh heh. Shall I turn the rankings upside down? Sejun looked at the gold coins in Kkamang's treasure mountain and used his ability. [>Ability: Petty and Timid Intrusion> is activated.]
[You have intruded on a Cobb Kingdom royal family-only gold coin without a name engraved on it.]
Along with the message, a gold coin appeared in Sejun’s hand, showing Queen Prana of the Cobb Kingdom on one side and King Louis of the Cobb Kingdom on the other.
Sejun looked at the coin. It was a special gold coin from the Cobb Kingdom, but it didn’t have a name on it.
Sejun examined the gold coin.
[Cobb Kingdom Royal Family-Only Gold Coin Without a Name Engraved]
This is a gold coin that the royal family of the Cobb Kingdom gives to someone when they have received a favor, with the recipient’s name engraved on it.
If you return the gold coin with your name engraved on it to the Cobb Kingdom, you can make one wish to the Cobb Kingdom.
The explanation appeared.
The Cobb Kingdom must have been robbed too.
Having heard from Iona about what Mobius had done, Sejun immediately knew that one of the Cobb Kingdom’s warehouses had been robbed.
“But why didn’t they give this to me?”
Sejun created the most important Mother Tree of the Cobb Kingdom, and he was also the most influential figure in the Black Tower.
Sejun knew these coins were usually given as special gifts from the King and Queen, Prana and Louis. He was surprised he hadn’t received one before, especially since they always listened to his advice.
Sejun confirmed the gold coin.
Heh heh heh. Kkamang doesn’t know at all.
Sejun gained confidence as he watched Kkamang cheering on his subordinates, unaware that the gold coin in his treasure mountain had disappeared.
[>Ability: Petty and Timid Intrusion> is activated.]
He began to steal from Kkamang’s treasure mountain in earnest.
At first, he was cautious and only took small things, but gradually he became bolder and the size of the items he took grew larger.
However,
Squeak?! Squeak?!
[Huh?! Where did it go!?]
Sejun got too greedy and took something too big, and that’s how he got caught. It was because he brought something too unique.
Where did the painting of the great Kkamang’s achievements go?!
Sejun had unfortunately taken a huge golden plate engraved with the battle scene between Fenrir and the great Dragon race in the past.
On the golden plate, a giant wolf occupying half of the plate was shown in great detail, dynamically fighting against twelve dragon leaders and all the remaining nine dragons as if you were watching it happen.
Of course, even if it wasn’t a painting, the size of the golden plate was too large to avoid being detected.
Squeak?!
Kkamang ran over, barking angrily, “Hey! You! Why are you stealing my stuff?!”
Squeak? Squeak?!
[Huh? I smell my scent on this too? Isn’t this ours too?!]
Once he was caught, everything was exposed. Kkamang had put his scent on each and every one of his treasures, even though he seemed to be just sitting there.
A little later.
“I lost even to the kids…”
Sejun became the ultimate loser in the treasure hunt competition.
“Puhuut. The great Hybrid Chairman Park is in last place! As expected, Chairman Park needs me, Hybrid Theo, the vice chairman, nyaang!”
Kkueng!
[Kkuengi will find a lot of treasure for you in the future, so cheer up, Daddy!]
Theo and Kkuengi comforted Sejun.
Kkirorong.
Eomrorong.
Kkamang’s family was satisfied with defeating Sejun and took a victorious nap.
Iona began to sort out the items with clear ownership. “Okay, I’ll put back everything that belongs to someone.”
“I should ask the creator, Amur Rangji, about this to find out who bought it, so I should take it.”
There was also a huge golden plate with Kkamang’s painting on it.
Just then,
“Nyaang!”
Theo, who hadn’t stopped looking for treasure until the very end, found a box in a pile of dirt.
And
“Puhuut. Chairman Park, take this, nyaang!”
He handed the box to Sejun.
“Oh! Thank you!”
Click.
Sejun opened the box that Theo handed him with a happy expression.
Inside the box were three land deeds.
[Black Tower 89th Floor Land Deed]
[Black Tower 4th Floor Land Deed]
[White Tower 67th Floor Land Deed]
“I needed these land deeds, so this is great. Vice Chairman Theo, you did well.”
“Puhuut. I, Hybrid Theo, the vice chairman, always do well, nyaang!”
“Yes, you do.”
Sejun stroked Theo’s head and took the land deeds.
The Black Tower 4th floor land deed was needed to build Leia’s monument, who created the 5-star divine artifact, and to place Cheval 18 as a believer.
The White Tower 67th floor land deed was needed to find the sealed sun of the White Tower.
Sejun was a little disappointed. He really wanted a land deed for the 90th floor of the Black Tower because he knew there was a very special item there.
On the 90th floor of the Black Tower was the Earth God Patrick’s divine artifact, the Armor of Earth.
As Sejun got up from his seat with a slight disappointment,
“Sejun, I’ve packed everything!” Iona said as she put the remaining items and Mobius’s corpse into Sejun’s subspace warehouse.
“Iona, you’ve worked hard. Let’s go back now.”
Kkueng!
[Daddy, Kkuengi will hold on tight!]
“Okay.”
As Sejun held Kkuengi in his arms,
Whoosh!
Kkuengi quickly went up with psychokinesis and arrived on the ground in an instant.
“Then I’ll go because I have something to do…” Iona said goodbye with a voice full of regret.
However,
Hug.
Unlike her words, she couldn’t easily let go of Theo’s warm and fluffy tail, which she had touched after a long time. Her touch was still full of lingering feelings.
“Puhuut. Iona, take this, nyaang! Hold it when you miss me, Hybrid Theo, the vice chairman, nyaang!”
Theo gave Iona a heart-shaped fur ball made of his fur.
“Theo! I like it so much!” Iona, who received the heart-shaped fur ball, hugged Theo with a touched expression.
And
“Theo, I’ll do my best! Goodbye, Sejun!” She left with a cheerful voice, holding Theo’s heart-shaped fur ball that filled her arms.
Eileen must have liked it that much too?
Sejun smiled, imagining Eileen’s appearance when she received his heart-shaped rice ball, even though he didn’t see it himself.
