Tap. Tap.
[Kiwi harvested.]
While Theo was stamping the Green Pig Assassination Squad’s heads, Sejun picked kiwis with Kkueng and Bbyot.
The Blackie Family couldn’t reach the kiwis, and…
Yuren…
“Sejun, I’ll help you too.”
“No! Just stay put!”
Staying still was the best help she could offer.
When Yuren was near, bad things happened. For example, unripe kiwis would fall, or branches would suddenly drop on Sejun’s head.
Yurorong.
So Yuren sat still until she fell asleep.
Hee hee hee. Squeak! Squeak!
[Hee hee. The Great Blackie has won!]
Blackie climbed onto the back of Neg, the Green Pig Assassination Squad leader who had fainted, showing off his victory.
“As expected of the Great Blackie!”
Squawk!
Shalala!
“You’re so cool!”
Caw!
Peep!
Moo!
His subordinates praised him.
About 10 minutes passed.
“Puhu! The great Hybrid Chairman Park, all stamped, meow!”
[You have seized the Green Pig Clan’s kiwi farm.]
[Quest completed.]
[You have been recognized as the rightful owner of the kiwi farm land deed on the 86th floor of the Golden Tower.]
[Land Deed Skill: Farm Information Lv. Max is activated.]
Theo stamped the heads of 500 assassins 10 times each, completing the land deed quest.
[You have 500 slaves.]
[All stats increase by 5 due to the effect of
Because Theo hired many slaves, Sejun got stronger. It was like his investment in slaves made him more powerful.
“Okay. Good job.”
“Puhu! I, Hybrid Theo, the Vice President, will work hard for Chairman Park, meow!”
“Alright.”
Sejun stroked Theo’s head, praising him.
I should pick a little more before leaving.
He started picking kiwis again.
Sejun was putting kiwis in his bag when Kkueng suddenly stopped eating. Kkueng looked up, ears twitching. “Dad, this kiwi is unique! It must be a new variety!”
“Really?” Sejun went to where Kkueng was.
Bzzzt!
There, unlike the other kiwis, was a kiwi emitting weak lightning.
This kiwi was different. It glowed with a soft yellow light, and little sparks of electricity jumped around it. It looked magical.
Grasp.
Sejun grabbed the electric kiwi with his bare hands and harvested it. Sejun’s magic power was high enough to stop the kiwi’s lightning, so there was no harm.
Then,
[You have harvested a Golden Kiwi of Thunder.]
[Job experience slightly increased.]
[Proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 9 slightly increased.]
[Acquired 100 experience.]
[Achieved the feat of creating a new variety in the Tower.]
[All stats increase by 20 due to job characteristics.]
Messages appeared.
It was indeed a new variety.
“Good job, Kkueng.”
Kkuhehehe.
Sejun hugged Kkueng tightly, praising him, and then checked the options for the Golden Kiwi.
[Golden Kiwi of Thunder]
A kiwi grown in the Golden Tower, accidentally grown on a kiwi tree that absorbed the earth’s lightning. Absorbing the lightning turned the flesh yellow and made it sweeter. Increases agility by 5 and enhances lightning attribute talent upon consumption. Grower: Black Tower Farmer Park Sejun Expiration date: 180 days Grade: S
“Not bad.”
Increased agility and enhanced lightning attribute talent.
It was an option that would help him and Kkueng, who had lightning attribute talent.
Sejun checked the kiwi’s options.
Slice.
He cut the harvested Golden Kiwi of Thunder in half.
“This is a reward. Since Kkueng found it, I’ll let you taste it first.”
He handed half of the Golden Kiwi to Kkueng.
Kiwis had many seeds, so it didn’t matter much if he gave half to Kkueng.
Plop.
Sejun took out one seed buried in the flesh from the remaining half of the Golden Kiwi and put it in the pouch of abundance he had made with utmost care.
Then,
Swish.
[1 day until 100 Golden Kiwi of Thunder seeds are replicated]
[1 day until 15 Transcendental Black Beans (+2) are replicated]
[1 day until 1 Great Magic Stream Seed is replicated]
The message on the side of the pouch changed.
At that moment,
Spoon.
···?
A spoon entered Sejun’s mouth.
Kkuhehehe. Kkueng!
[Hehehe. Dad eats first!]
With sparkling eyes, Kkueng yielded the first bite to Sejun.
Sniff! Kkueng…
‘Is this what it’s like to raise a child?’
Sejun’s heart swelled as he looked at Kkueng.
[Your soul is filled with overwhelming emotion.]
[Mental strength increases by 20.]
Sejun’s mental strength greatly increased.
“Delicious.”
Sejun savored the taste of the kiwi that entered his mouth. Perhaps because it was the kiwi that Kkueng had yielded, it was even sweeter and more delicious.
Kkuhehehe. Kkueng!
[Hehehe. It’s more delicious than other kiwis!]
Kkueng also smiled broadly as he ate the Golden Kiwi.
While the father and son were smiling happily,
Tap tap tap.
Squeak?! Squeak!
[Are you eating something delicious without me?! Give me some too!]
The Great Blackie appeared!
Blackie, who discovered the half-cut kiwis in Sejun and Kkueng’s hands, quickly ran over, wagging his tail and barking fiercely.
“Just a little bit. It’ll upset your stomach if you eat too much.”
Squeak!
[Give it to me quickly!]
The Great Blackie wins against the kiwi!
He managed to snatch the Golden Kiwi.
More than 30 minutes had passed since the Green Pig Clan’s assassination squad had sent a signal that they had found Yuren.
Marin, who had been waiting for news that Yuren had been happily eliminated, began to frown.
If Yuren broke through this encirclement and reached the Damon family, everything would be over.
“Marin, don’t worry. Our Green Pig Clan’s proud assassination squad, the Green Hunger, has never failed. Perhaps they are just taking a little longer because they are trying to handle it quietly.”
Eigion, the head of the Green Pig Clan, said to Marin with a confident voice.
The heads of the Green Pig Clan and the Red Pig Clan, who had received reports that their children Ebis and Nelli were suffering in the Black Tower, helped Marin to eliminate Yuren and rescue their children.
Unlike Machun and Magin, the two were suffering because they had no work ethic, but…
-Yuren is making Ebis and Nelli do hard labor and is exploiting them. If we don’t rescue them quickly, they might die.
The report that Marin had touched was changed to a completely different content.
About 30 minutes passed.
“Huh?” Someone began to emerge from the kiwi farm.
“See? Our Green Pig Clan… Huh?”
“They’re not pigs!”
It wasn’t the scene they were expecting.
Only Sejun and his party came out of the kiwi farm.
The kiwi farm was a green place, full of tall trees covered in fuzzy brown kiwis. The air smelled sweet and fresh.
The Green Hunger, the assassination squad that Eigion, the head of the Green Pig Clan, was so proud of, was nowhere to be seen. Not a single one.
We’ve been had.
“Move the troops!”
“Yes!”
Marin understood what was happening quickly. He immediately gave orders to his helper without stopping to think.
Oink!
The subordinate blew the horn, signaling the troops that were waiting.
Then, with a small tremor, the troops began to rapidly narrow the encirclement and advance towards the kiwi farm from about 500m away.
The magnificent march of 100,000 troops in total, including 50,000 soldiers raised by Marin, 20,000 troops from the Green Pig Clan and the Red Pig Clan, and 30,000 mercenaries hired in a hurry.
Suddenly, Kkueng roared. It wasn’t just loud, it felt like the ground shook. The soldiers stopped. They looked at each other, fear in their eyes.
The 100,000 soldiers, overwhelmed by Kkueng’s Kkueng Fu, lost their will to fight.
Their morale was broken before they even fought!
“Nelk, please.”
Marin said, looking at Nelk, the head of the Red Pig Clan.
“Leave it to me. Red Pig Clan’s bomber squad, Red Terror, sortie!”
Nelk shouted loudly, and his subordinate waved a huge red flag.
Thud! Thud!
Suddenly, the sky was filled with red pigs flying on rockets! They looked like angry red dots in the sky, and they were dropping black bombs that whistled as they fell.
However,
“Shield, come out. Kkueng, put this over our heads.”
Kkueng!
Sejun summoned the Dignified Guardian Dragon Horn Shield from the subspace warehouse with his authority.
Boom! Crash!
He easily blocked the bombs.
“Puhu! Employee, meow!”
Peep!
[Theo, I’ll help too!]
Meanwhile, Theo and Bbyot quickly ascended into the sky and subdued the bomber squad.
Kkueng!
Kkueng used telekinesis to catch the falling Red Terror members and gathered them in one place.
“How can the Red Terror be defeated so easily…”
Nelk and the Red Pig Clan’s pigs were shocked when the bomber squad was subdued in an instant.
The shock was also transmitted to the surrounding troops, completely breaking the soldiers’ morale.
Before long, the soldiers’ footsteps were no longer heard.
“Puhu! That attack was aimed at Chairman Park, meow! You’re going to be a permanent employee and pay for your sins for the rest of your life, meow!”
The battlefield, filled with silence, was filled only with the laughter of Theo, who was excited to stamp the back of the red pigs’ heads.
-Marin. We’re going to lose like this. Then the position of head of the family that you’ve been wanting so much will be over.
The red gem embedded in Marin’s necklace shone, and a sticky whisper was heard in Marin’s head.
‘I know! But there’s no way!’ Marin answered in his head, as if he was used to the whisper.
-There is a way. Offer your body to me. Then I’ll get rid of those insignificant things.
‘What?! What are you talking about?!’
-Don’t want to? Then do you want your children to feel the same emotions that you felt? If that’s your choice, do as you please.
The whisper sneered and dug into Marin’s heart.
‘That’s···.’ Marin began to struggle. Marin’s face became pale. He felt scared and desperate. He remembered how it felt to lose everything before.
After losing the position of head of the family to his brother Yuto in the past, Marin felt a tremendous sense of betrayal.
Those who seemed like they would do anything for Marin immediately cut off ties and ran to Yuto when Marin failed to become the head of the family.
Marin felt like he was falling to the bottom, no. To a place deeper than the bottom.
He was a worthless being who had lost the possibility of becoming the head of the family.
What he met at that time was the current necklace.
-Look at your brother Yuto. Marin, aren’t you angry that someone who is less capable than you is the head of the family?!
-Are you going to make your children feel the same way you do?
The being dwelling in the necklace stimulated Marin’s envy and jealousy, whispering that he had to make his children the head of the family.
Just in time, a gap began to appear in the position of the next head of the family due to Yuren’s foolish actions.
Those who had turned their backs on Marin in the past came to Marin as if nothing had happened and proposed to make either Machun or Magin the head of the family.
-Marin, if you don’t become the head of the family, you’ll just be abandoned.
-You’re preventing your children from feeling the same way you do.
The necklace’s whisper continued to make Marin obsessed with the position of head of the family.
‘Okay. I’ll offer my body.’ Marin, who had become obsessed with the position of head of the family, was eventually able to offer even his body for the position.
As soon as Marin’s permission was given,
-He he he. Marin Damon, a good choice.
With a whisper that was so happy it was chilling, a red aura began to engulf Marin’s body from the necklace.
-My name is Silaut, the Demon King of Envy and Jealousy. According to the contract, I will take your body and soul. Thank you for dreaming vain dreams all this time.
‘No! Wait! I didn’t mean it like this! Take it back! Give me my body back! Please!’
-He he he. Regret always comes too late.
Silaut suppressed Marin’s soul.
The red light from the necklace grew brighter and brighter. It wrapped around Marin like fire. His body started to change. His skin turned pink, his eyes glowed red, and a cruel smile appeared on his face. It was no longer Marin. It was something evil.
“He he he. I, Silaut, the Demon King of Envy and Jealousy, have returned.”
The pink pig with red eyes smiled.
