Chapter 284 – Everything is Thanks to Me, Meow!

The 44th floor of the tower.

“Is that really true, peng?!”

“Yes. We are preparing an event for Lord Se-jun.”

The moment they learned that Han Tae-jun and Kim Dong-sik were preparing an event for Se-jun,

“We will help too, peng!”

“Please let us help, peng!”

the Blue-backed Penguins desperately tried to help them. If the event for Se-jun was ruined because of them… they would be dead, peng!

So, the Blue-backed Penguin tribe hurriedly requested help from the surrounding animals as well.

And just in time, the Silver Wolf tribe, who were on their way to deliver Sturdy Blade Green Onions and Detoxifying Green Onions to the Earth Defense Force hunters on the 41st floor of the tower, received the contact and rushed over.

“Get on. We will take you to the waypoint.”

Grrr.

At the words of Elka, the chief of the Silver Wolf tribe, the two Silver Wolves behind him knelt down in front of Han Tae-jun and Kim Dong-sik.

“Really?!”

“Because it’s for Lord Se-jun.”

“Yes. We are only letting you ride this once.”

Han Tae-jun was surprised by the Silver Wolves’ response. They were proud wolves. Although they had met and gotten quite close, the Silver Wolves had never let them ride.

Rather, when a hunter had secretly tried to ride on a Silver Wolf’s back, he provoked the Silver Wolf’s anger and almost had his arm cut off.

To think that the Silver Wolves, who would not yield their backs to that extent, readily offered their backs at the mention of Se-jun’s business… they were once again astonished by Se-jun’s immense influence.

After Han Tae-jun and Kim Dong-sik arrived at the waypoint with the help of the Silver Wolves like that, they departed for the 1st floor of the tower,

“You guys, hurry up and inform the other monsters that Lord Se-jun’s 1st anniversary event will be in four days!”

“Yes!”

At Elka’s command, the news of Se-jun’s event began to spread far and wide.

***

“Puhuhut. I will help you, meow! Leave it to me, meow!”

Just as Theo was about to take out a contract from his bundle at Ppiyot’s request,

Chirp!

[Lord Ppi-ru-ru-ru Yacht, we respect you!]

Kyaho!

[Great senior, you are amazing!]

Cuckoo!

[We are sorry for not recognizing you!]

The birds extinguished their flames and began to look at Ppiyot with respectful eyes.

Ppiyot!

[Lord Theo, you are truly amazing!]

Ppiyot thought that Theo had suppressed the birds with his gaze, and stared at Theo with an admiring look. ‘As expected of Lord Theo!’

However,

“Nyang?”

Theo hadn’t done anything yet.

“Puhuhut. That’s right, meow! I, Vice Chairman Theo, am amazing, meow!”

Although he was slightly flustered by Ppiyot’s flattery, he attributed everything to his own credit for now. ‘It is all thanks to me, meow!’

Ppiyot! Ppiyot!

[That’s right! Lord Theo is amazing!]

Thus, Ppiyot, who thought the birds respected him because of Theo, and Theo, who naturally thought everything was resolved because of himself.

However,

‘Amazing! To think he climbed onto the instep of the mother tree’s master!’

‘I want to try climbing up like Lord Ppi-ru-ru-ru Yacht too!’

‘I’m jealous!’

The reason the birds respected Ppiyot was because Ppiyot was standing on the instep of Se-jun, the master of the mother tree that gave birth to them.

Unaware of this, Ppiyot settled down on Se-jun’s right instep, as close as possible to Theo,

‘Phehe-et. Yes. Guys, I am Lord Theo’s next right front paw!’

and enjoyed the respectful gazes the birds sent him.

And,

Ppiyot! Ppiyot!

[Follow me! I’ll guide you home!]

Once all the birds were born, Ppiyot led about 100 birds and flew to Abe, the capital of Kove.

After the birds departed following Ppiyot like that,

[A new mother tree conceived and hatched birds.]

[You completed the middle manager quest in a different way.]

[The reward was reinforced twofold due to the excellent result.]

[You acquired 2,000,000 experience points as a quest completion reward.]

[You acquired 1,000,000 Tower Coins as a quest completion reward.]

A message stating that he completed the middle manager quest appeared in front of Se-jun.

“Guys, let’s prepare to return slowly.”

Since all the quests were completed, Se-jun prepared to leave.

“Flamie, let’s go.”

When Se-jun carefully pulled out Flamie, who was buried in the ground,

“You can’t, meow! We must follow Ppiyot to that place too, meow!”

Theo opposed Se-jun’s words and proudly pointed to Abe, the capital of Kove, with his front paw. ‘Puhuhut. There is something I’m supposed to receive from Rui, meow!’

It was reward time.

***

Black Tower Administrator Area.

“It’s done!!!”

Aileen, who finally finished the magic engraving on Kai-la’s heart fragment, cheered, shouting hurrah.

“Khehehe. It finished earlier than expected.”

Aileen, stimulated by Se-jun’s overachievement, had increased her work speed. Thanks to that, she finished the work about half a day earlier than scheduled.

Although the process of activating the magic remained at the end, it only took time and was not a very difficult process.

Munch. Munch.

As Aileen was recovering her mana by eating the elixir cherry tomatoes for the magic activation like that,

Vring.

the crystal ball indicating the status of the Black Tower vibrated.

Munch.

“What is it?”

When Aileen, who was eating the elixir cherry tomato, checked the notification,

[The middle manager completed the quest with an excellent result.]

[Contribution points were accumulated twofold.]

[You acquired 20,000,000 contribution points.]

the message appeared.

“Khehehe. Our Se-jun did it again?! How much contribution points do I have?”

Aileen began to look through the authorities she could give Se-jun with the contribution points accumulated so far.

The authorities Aileen was looking at now were special authorities. Special authorities could only be purchased with contribution points and could not be shown to Se-jun.

Banishes the target from the tower.

“Khing. This consumes too much mana if the opponent is strong, so it won’t do.”

If used incorrectly, Se-jun could die of mana depletion.

“Then what about this one…”

Aileen checked the next authority.

Appoints the target as the ruler of the corresponding floor.

“This is… ambiguous.”

Although it was safe, it was useless. She could just push the boss away with strength and appoint a new boss.

“Next is…”

Forcibly implants a mana stream into the body so that mana does not run dry.

“Khing. I don’t think Se-jun’s body can withstand this.”

The word ‘forcibly’ looked extremely dangerous. While implanting the mana stream, he could conversely be swept away by it and be obliterated without a trace.

As Aileen checked the authorities like that,

“Oh! This is good!”

Aileen discovered an authority that she liked very much.

[Saves 10% of daily life force into the Bead of Life.]

When the Bead of Life is filled, one extra life is created.

Up to three Beads of Life can be created.

It was an authority that could store life force like a battery.

“Kkueng? Why haven’t I seen this until now?”

Aileen, who enjoyed shopping for authorities to give Se-jun whenever she was bored, tilted her head.

There was no way that she, a great black dragon, would forget something she had seen once. It felt like it had suddenly popped up.

“Whatever, it’s helpful to Se-jun. Khehehe. Se-jun, take the authority!”

Aileen used the contribution points to present to Se-jun.

***

Kkueng!

[We are leaving now!]

The giant Cuengi, who had grown to a size of 10m, spoke while floating in the air in a Superman pose.

And on Cuengi’s back, Se-jun, Theo, and Flamie were riding.

The Golden Bat had disappeared somewhere again, but he was probably following well.

As Se-jun and the animals and plants were flying toward Rainbow Castle, the royal castle of Kove Kingdom, like that,

[The administrator of the tower granted to the tower’s middle manager token.]

[You acquired 1 extra life.]

The authority that Aileen had chosen with great care was granted to the black dragon tattoo on Se-jun’s right hand.

One extra life was the default option given upon first acquiring the authority.

“Huh? Extra life?”

Se-jun hurriedly checked the authority.

“If I save 10% of my life force into the Bead of Life and fill it, one extra life will be created?”

According to this description, it meant another extra life would be created. It was a tremendous authority.

At that moment,

“Puhuhut. Cuengi, increase your speed, meow!”

Excited at the thought of quickly giving Se-jun the item he had found with his front paws and receiving praise, Theo urged Cuengi,

Kkueng!

[Understood!]

Cuengi slightly reduced the effect of his talent, Light Body Movement.

Then,

Thud.

Cuengi’s weight increased.

“Nice.”

Se-jun climbed the tree again, carrying Cuengi whose weight had increased to 1,000kg.

As Se-jun was sweating profusely, doing both tree climbing and treatment together like that,

Rumble.

The ground vibrated, and the tree shook violently.

“Euat!”

Se-jun could not withstand the recoil of the shaking tree and was thrown off the tree.

Float. Float.

Fortunately, thanks to Cuengi’s telekinesis, there was no falling.

Kkueng! Kkueng!

[Dad’s strength is too weak! Work harder!]

Though he had to listen to immense nagging instead.

While Se-jun climbed the tree again while listening to Cuengi’s nagging like that,

[Master, I’m sorry. Still, the docking is successful!]

Flamie, who had caused the earthquake, felt sorry to Se-jun and connected her body and roots.

And she handed a nutrient, like the one she had given to Podori, to the roots of the bird-bearing tree.

-Sprout?

[Yeah. You can eat it. It’s delicious.]

-Sprout!

At Flamie’s words, the bird-bearing tree quickly absorbed the nutrient.

[You were hungry? Eat more.]

-Sprout!

Flamie took out another nutrient from her roots and handed it to the bird-bearing tree.

[How nice would it be if Podori ate well like this too. Eat more.]

While Flamie was pleased to see the bird-bearing tree eating the nutrient she gave it like that,

[The bird-bearing tree grew into an adult tree.]

[You completed the quest.]

[As a quest completion reward, you were recognized as the rightful owner of the land deed.]

[The land deed’s skill: Farm Information Lv. Max was activated.]

A message stating that he had completed the land deed quest appeared in front of Se-jun.

“Oh! The quest is over! Good job, guys!”

Se-jun, unaware that Flamie had shared her nutrients with the bird-bearing tree, naturally thought it was the credit of himself and the animals.

And,

“Farm In…”

when he was about to use the land deed skill to view the farm information,

Rumble.

the ground shook once again.

“Ugh!”

This time, he held onto the tree tightly and was not thrown off, so Se-jun was able to avoid Cuengi’s nagging.

“What is it? Is the ground here weak?”

Se-jun felt anxious about the continuous earthquakes.

However, the cause of the earthquake this time was also Flamie’s roots.

If Se-jun used the Farm Information skill, her identity would be exposed, so she had quickly pulled her roots out of the farm.

At that moment,

Slowly.

The petals of the buds of the bird-bearing tree, which had become an adult tree, parted and flowers began to bloom.

And,

Chirp! Chirp!

Kyaho!

Cuckoo!

dozens of large and small birds were born from the flowers and announced their birth with energetic cries.

“Wow.”

While Se-jun was admiring the beautiful flowers and the birds born from them,

Ppiyot! Ppiyot!

[Welcome, troops! I am your great senior, Lord Ppirururu Yacht!]

Ppiyot stepped forward to discipline his juniors.

However,

Whoosh.

a few birds looked at Ppiyot with challenging eyes that seemed to say, ‘You’re a senior?’ while creating flames from their bodies.

Thanks to absorbing Flamie’s nutrients, strong birds with the ability to use fire were born.

‘They are a bit strong?’

Ppiyot quietly climbed onto Se-jun’s instep and looked at Theo with desperate eyes. ‘Lord Theo, please punish them!’
