Chapter 305 – Why Are the Arms of This All Torn Off
The east of the Gobi Desert, located between the borders of China and Mongolia.
A point about 1,000 km north of Beijing, the capital of China.
Flutter. Flutter.
Hundreds of thousands of green locusts flew over the vast sandy land, creating a three-dimensional pattern.
It was a magic circle.
A moment later,
Ziiing.
In the center of the magic circle, a hole appeared in the air,
Flutter. Flutter.
And two palm-sized moths emerged from the hole. As soon as the moths came out, the hole closed.
And,
Flutter.
The green locusts began to attack the moths they had summoned.
Locusts that even devoured their own kind. There was no way the concept of being on the same side existed for them.
Just as the two moths appeared in the world like that, right before they were about to be torn to shreds by the locusts,
Fwoosh.
Flames rose on the wings of the two moths,
Fwoooosh.
And burned the locusts attacking them.
However,
Flutter.
The locusts continued to attack the fire moths without fear.
Fwooooosh.
The fire moth’s flames grew larger and larger, using the corpses of the locusts as fuel.
Once the flames became somewhat huge,
Fwoosh.
A part of the flame broke away,
Flutter. Flutter.
And the flame transformed into a fist-sized moth.
Flutter.
The locusts naturally attacked to eat the newborn moth, but
Fwoosh.
The newborn moth also created flames on its wings to burn the locusts.
As this process was repeated, the locusts decreased and the number of fire moths gradually increased. Eventually, only fire moths remained.
And,
Flutter. Flutter.
The fire moths scattered in all directions in search of prey to become sacrifices for their flames.

Tower 99th floor kitchen area.
“Hehehe.”
Thud. Thud.
Se-jun let out a laugh as he diligently kneaded the rice dough.
‘Now I can eat pizza!’
As soon as he felt the texture of mozzarella cheese in the sticky corn, Se-jun thought of pizza.
He immediately ran to the kitchen area and was kneading the rice dough like this.
A moment later,
“Done.”
Se-jun finished the rice dough.
He covered the bowl containing the rice dough with green onion leaves to ferment it,
Pop.
[You have consumed Aileen’s Healthier Fist Meat Piece.]
[All of the food must be consumed to take effect.]
[437 pieces remaining.]
He briefly filled his stomach while eating Aileen’s dish.
And,
“Okay. Now I should make tomato paste.”
Taking out the cherry tomatoes one by one that had been soaked in hot water while kneading,
Peel. Peel.
He began to peel the cherry tomatoes.
At that moment,
Ppiik!
[I will help you!]
Ppyak?
[Uncle, are you making something new again?]
When Se-jun started a new dish, the rabbits showed interest, came over, and lent a hand.
“Yeah. It’s a dish called pizza…”
Thanks to that, Se-jun was able to work without being bored while explaining pizza to the rabbits.
Ppiik!
[It must be delicious!]
“Hehehe. Right.”
As the peeled cherry tomatoes piled up to some extent while talking with the rabbits,
Pour.
Se-jun poured the cherry tomatoes into a black pot,
Sprinkle. Sprinkle.
Added salt, boiled it vigorously once, and then began to simmer it over low heat.
“Guys, stir this for me.”
Se-jun had the rabbits stir the bottom so that the cherry tomatoes wouldn’t stick to the bottom,
[You have obtained sticky corn seeds.]
[Your class experience increases minutely.]
[The proficiency of Seed Harvesting Lv. 8 increases slightly.]
[You must use the Seed Harvesting skill 750,161 more times until you complete the class quest.]
And harvested seeds from 20 sticky corns.
While Se-jun prepared the pizza ingredients like that,
Creak.
Creak.
The Sure-Hit Daebong Persimmon and the Light-Watcher, which had absorbed the Elixir of Harvest, grew diligently.

“Lord Theo, here it is.”
Uren guided Theo, Cuengi, and Ppiyot to the best clothing store he knew.
Arachne, a clothing store located quite far from the busy shopping street.
The elegance of the store was felt from its splendid and antique exterior.
“Great Merchant Uren, welcome.”
The soldier guarding the entrance of Arachne saw Uren and opened the door.
“Let’s go.”
As Uren went inside,
“Puhuhut. Great, meow! Let’s go in quickly, meow!”
Theo followed Uren into the store in a good mood,
Kkueng!
[Let’s go in quickly!]
Ppiyot!
[Yes!]
And Cuengi and Ppiyot followed him inside.
Upon entering the store,
“Welcome. For whom are you looking for clothes?”
Kkueng! Kkueng!
[I will buy Dad’s clothes! I want to buy powerful clothes!]
Cuengi said what he wanted.
Although it was a very abstract answer,
“Do you want powerful clothes? Follow me.”
The employee guided them without asking again.
And,
“Take a look around.”
He guided them to a room where brilliant chainmails were displayed.
Kkueng?
[Is this sturdy?]
Cuengi asked while looking at the chainmail.
“Of course! We are proud that it is the best product in the Black Tower. You may touch it. Because not even a scratch will be made.”
The employee replied confidently at Cuengi’s question.
Of course, the employee was not bragging. They were items worthy of that value.
Kkueng?
[Is that so?]
Grab.
At the employee’s words, Cuengi grabbed the arm part of the chainmail in front of him and pulled to test how sturdy it was.
But,
Tear.
The chainmail tore as easily as paper.
…?!
“…?!”
Cuengi was surprised, and the employee was also surprised.
‘Why is it so weak?’
Cuengi because the chainmail was too weak.
‘What kind of chainmail is that?!’
The employee because of the price of the chainmail.
The chainmails here were made by processing mithril into mithril threads with Arachne’s secret technique,
Requesting Iscara, the best smithy in the Black Tower, to manufacture the chainmail,
And sending the chainmail to the Enchantment Magic Tower to engrave various magics.
In particular, the chainmail Cuengi just damaged was a piece of equipment on which reinforcement magic was with difficulty engraved three times in stack.
An item that could indeed be called a masterpiece.
Therefore, the price was a whopping 5 billion Tower Coins.
To damage such a chainmail like that…
Tear.
Tear.
Unaware of this, Cuengi was tearing the arms of other chainmails, looking for a sturdy armor for Se-jun to wear.
“Cu… Customer, please stop! Do you know how much they cost?”
As expected of the best store, the employee calmed his excitement as much as possible and stopped Cuengi.
Kkueng?
[How much is it?]
“The armor destroyed first is 5 billion Tower Coins. The others are 1 billion Tower Coins each. You must pay a total of 7 billion Tower Coins.”
Kkueng? Kkueng.
[What do you mean? Cuengi won’t buy this.]
Cuengi replied to the employee’s words demanding money.
In Cuengi’s common sense, since he wasn’t going to buy such weak armor, there was no need to pay money.
“What?!”
As the employee was flustered by Cuengi’s words and looked at Uren, the one with whom he could communicate,
“Puhuhut. We will buy it, so give us a discount, meow!”
Theo said he would buy the armor.
Kkueng? Kkueng!
[Big Brother is buying it? Then Cuengi will pay the money!]
As Theo said he would buy the armor, Cuengi took out his allowance pouch.
Swish. Swish.
Uren hurriedly pointed to himself with his front paw. This time too, the unpaid tab increased under Uren’s name.
Theo, who had purchased three chainmails with one arm torn off like that, packed the armors into his bundle,
“Give me that too, meow!”
Theo said, pointing to the armor display stand.
“This?!”
When the employee lifted the armor display stand,
“Puhuhut. No, meow! This, meow!”
Theo took the square wooden board supporting the armor display stand.
“Ah, that was it. If you need a lot, please tell me. I will give you more.”
A customer who had brought in 7 billion Tower Coins in sales. He could give away as many of those wooden boards as wanted.
“Puhuhut. It’s okay, meow!”
Since what Theo wanted was not an ordinary wooden board, he naturally refused.
Theo carefully put the wooden board, from which he felt an attraction, into his bundle. ‘Puhuhut. Another chance to be praised by Chairman Park has arisen, meow!’
“It’s time, meow! Let’s go back, meow!”
Theo went to pick up the packed food joyfully.
***
Smack.
“It’s complete.”
Se-jun said, tasting the thickened tomato paste.
And,
Thud. Thud. Thud.
Knead. Knead.
He took out the fermented dough and began to make the pizza dough.
“Chairman Park, I have returned, meow!”
Slap.
Theo, who had returned after finishing the errand, clung to the back of Se-jun’s head.
“Vice President Theo, you’re back?”
“What is it, meow?! Why are you making food?”
Displeased that Se-jun was making food after sending him on a food errand, Theo asked in a voice full of complaint.
“Hehehe. Because a dish I suddenly wanted to eat came to mind.”
Se-jun, who was in a very good mood at the thought of eating pizza, replied in a cheerful voice.
“Why is your voice so bright, meow?! I don’t like it, meow!”
Theo felt bad upon seeing Se-jun looking happy even though he wasn’t there.
Tight!
He hugged the back of Se-jun’s head tighter.
“Nice.”
Even so, Se-jun’s mood only improved from Theo’s soft belly fat.
“But where is Cuengi?”
Kkueng!
[Cuengi is here!]
Cuengi, who was smelling the tomato paste he was seeing for the first time, raised his hand and answered energetically at Se-jun’s call.
“Did our Cuengi have a good trip?”
Kkueng!
[Cuengi had a good trip!]
“Is the allowance Dad gave you left?”
Kkueng!
[Yes! Here it is!]
Cuengi said, taking out his allowance pouch.
“Shall we see how much you spent?”
Se-jun opened the allowance pouch to check how much money Cuengi had spent.
“Huh?! You didn’t spend any at all?”
Inside the allowance pouch, the 100 Tower Coins he had given remained intact.
“Cuengi, you didn’t spend money?”
When Se-jun asked,
Kkueng! Kkueng!
[No! With the allowance Dad gave, I ate food and bought armor too!]
“But why is the money still there?”
Kkueng!
[Big Brother got a discount!]
Cuengi looked at Theo with eyes of respect.
“Puhuhut. That’s right, meow! I discounted it, meow!”
Meanwhile, Theo, who had clung to Se-jun’s lap, raised his head and boasted.
“You discounted the price?!”
‘Is this almost at the level of extortion?’ While Se-jun was wondering,
(Ppyap. Lord Uren put it on credit from behind.)
The Golden Bat told Se-jun the truth.
“Ah…”
Se-jun thus realized why Cuengi’s allowance did not decrease.
“Then shall we see what our Cuengi bought?”
“Puhuhut. You will be surprised when you see it, meow!”
Theo took out the packed food, three chainmails with torn arms bought from Arachne, and the wooden board from his bundle.
“Why are the arms of this all torn off?”
[Reinforced Mithril Chainmail with Torn Right Arm (3 Stacks)]
[Reinforced Mithril Chainmail with Torn Left Arm]
[Reinforced Mithril Chainmail with Torn Right Arm]
As Se-jun asked, looking at the mithril chainmails with one arm torn off each,
Kkueng!
[Cuengi did that while checking if it was sturdy!]
Cuengi said in a proud voice. ‘Cuengi checked it all for Dad!’
“I see.”
Understanding the reason the arms were torn off, Se-jun lifted and checked the most expensive-looking mithril chainmail.
[Reinforced Mithril Chainmail with Torn Right Arm (3 Stacks)]
Refined with mithril thread by the secret technique of Arachne, the highest clothing store in the Black Tower…
…
..
.
Usage Restriction: Strength 500 or higher, Mana 1000 or higher
Creator: Arachne, Iskara, Enchantment Magic Tower
Grade: A
“I can just wear it inside.”
Although it was chainmail, the feeling touching bare skin was as comfortable as wearing clothes made of fabric.
“Cuengi, tear this for me.”
Since wearing armor with only one arm was awkward, Se-jun asked Cuengi to tear off the remaining left arm as well.
Kkueng!
[Got it!]
Tear.
Cuengi tore off the left arm,
Slide.
And Se-jun put on the sleeveless chainmail.
And,
“Vice President Theo, pierce some holes here.”
As he said, presenting the left arm part of the armor that Cuengi had torn off to Theo,
“Got it, meow!”
Pop. Pop. Pop. Pop.
Theo pierced four holes with his dragon claws at the locations Se-jun wanted, completing the mithril armor for the sunfish Fenrir.
And,
Fully.
In the meantime, the Light-Watcher flower, which resembled a sunflower, bloomed outside.
