Chapter 310 – Do You Really Not Know My Dad

“Meow, meow, meow.”

Ppiyot. Ppiyot.

Theo and Ppiyot-i hummed as they went down the tower to find the land deed for the 70th floor of the Black Tower.

When they went down to the 50th floor like that, humming with empty minds,

“Meow?! But where do I get the land deed for the 70th floor, meow?”

Theo, who had had no thoughts until now, fell into contemplation.

Ppiyot…

[Well…]

Ppiyot-i pondered along with him.

While the two were walking and pondering,

“Meow? Again, meow?”

Ppiyot?

[Lord Theo, where should we go?]

A fork in the road appeared in front of the two.

“This time, it’s the left, meow!”

Theo chose the path with confidence.

Ppiyot!

[The place where Lord Theo goes is always right!]

As Theo and Ppiyot-i passed by like that,

Thud.

As if it were natural, the left path closed, and the face of a snake appeared.

And,

Hiss. Hiss.

Hundreds of white snakes appeared in front of the two walking along the path.

Ppiyot!

[Lord Theo, please leave it to me!]

Peck. Peck.

Ppiyot-i defeated the snakes with his beak.

Perhaps thanks to eating and growing well on the farm, Ppiyot-i had become quite strong.

“My slave Gaeron, come out, meow!”

-Master, did you call!

“Yes, meow! Pick up the coins, meow!”

-Yes!

Like that, as Ppiyot-i defeated the white snakes,

Flick. Flick.

Gaeron moved while collecting the white coins from on top of Theo’s head.

While they were walking along the path like that,

“Save me!”

A scream was heard.

“Puhuhut. I hope it’s Uren, meow!”

Ppiyot!

[It’s probably Lord Uren!]

The two naturally thought it was Uren.

However,

“What a pity, meow! It’s not Uren, meow!”

Ppiyot. Ppiyot…

[Indeed. I naturally thought it would be Lord Uren…]

What they found was not Uren, the gullible target, but a rather large panda bear.

The two felt disappointed as they looked at the panda.

At that moment,

“Hey, don’t just watch there, please save me!”

The panda, hanging on the wall to avoid the white snakes, asked for help upon seeing Theo and Ppiyot-i.

“Puhuhut. I understand, meow!”

Schwing!

Theo unsheathed his dragon claws and,

Whoosh!

Swiftly swung his front paw.

And,

Crack.

Jormungandr’s fragment split into six pieces.

Clink.

“Ppiyot-i, pick it up, meow!”

Ppiyot!

[Yes!]

Theo made Ppiyot-i pick up the falling white coins.

Like that, Theo, Ppiyot-i, and the panda emerged from the Jormungandr fragment.

“Thank you for saving me! I’m Pan Chen!”

While Pan Chen was thanking Theo,

“Puhuhut. Nice to meet you, meow! First, stamp this, meow!”

Stamp.

Theo obtained Pan Chen’s stamp.

“Huh? Huh!!! What are you doing right now?!”

Pan Chen, who had stamped the contract in his confusion, shouted and hurriedly read through the contract. He had been told that stamping anywhere would lead to big trouble…

“Puhuhut. Since I, Vice President Theo, saved you, you must stamp it, meow!”

Ppiyot! Ppiyot?!

[That’s right! Did you think we would save you for free?!]

Theo and Ppiyot-i felt proud as they looked at Pan Chen.

At that moment,

“Ugh… If you needed money, you should have just said so.”

After reading the entire contract, Pan Chen spoke with an expression that suggested it was no big deal.

“Meow?! Then can you give me 1 billion Tower Coins, meow?”

The amount written on the contract was 1 billion Tower Coins, which had been written in advance to be used when saving Uren.

“Of course. Who do you think I am?”

“Who else, you are Pan Chen, meow!”

“Ah… That’s not it, actually, my dad is Pansur.”

Pan Chen said boastfully. Pahat. Surely they would be surprised now.

“Meow? Who is Pansur, meow? Ppiyot-i, have you heard of Pansur, meow?”

Ppiyot. Ppiyot.

[No. I don’t know.]

Neither of them knew who Pansur was.

“Huh?! Do you really not know my dad?!”

Pan Chen was disappointed to see Theo and Ppiyot-i not knowing Pansur. “My dad is famous…”

“Stop bragging about your dad and just give me the money, meow!”

Theo held out his front paw and demanded the money.

“Ah… I don’t have it, but my dad has the money.”

Pan Chen suddenly became deflated.

“What, meow?! Then since Pan Chen cannot pay it back, you are a slave, meow!”

“Huh?! I said my dad has the money!”

Ppiyot! Ppiyot!

[Lord Theo’s words are completely correct! How dare a slave talk back!]

Peck. Peck.

Ppiyot-i pecked the head of Pan Chen, who was protesting to Theo.

“Ah! It hurts! I said it hurts!”

Ppiyot?!

[How dare a mere slave speak informally?!]

“Ah! It hurts, I said.”

Like that, Pan Chen learned politeness as a slave from Ppiyot-i.

“Puhuhut. Slave, follow me, meow!”

Theo set out on the road again, taking Pan Chen with him.

However,

Pause.

He stopped in his tracks soon after.

“Meow?! Where do we go, meow?”

He did not know where to go to find the land deed for the 70th floor of the tower.

Ppiyot?

[Should we go and ask Lord Rui?]

Ppiyot-i came up with an idea.

“That sounds good, meow! Let’s go to Rui and tell him to find it, meow!”

When Theo decided on the 79th floor of the tower, where the Cobb Kingdom was located, as their destination,

“Pahat. By any chance, is there an item you are looking for?”

Pan Chen, who had been listening to their conversation, asked in a sly voice. This is an opportunity to go to Dad!

“Yes, meow! I am looking for the land deed for the 70th floor of the tower, meow!”

“Then please follow me! I know a place where you can get any item!”

“Is that true, meow?!”

“Of course! It’s a place called the Black Market!”

“I understand, meow! Lead the way, meow!”

“Yes! Please follow me!”

Pan Chen began to walk ahead toward the 66th floor of the tower.

‘Just you wait, you bastards! I won’t let you off once we arrive!’

He smiled deviously.

On the 66th floor of the Black Tower, there was a special market.

The Black Market, which sold all kinds of illegally obtained items.

And Pan Chen’s father, Pansur, was the owner of the Black Market.

“Puhuhut. Slave! Move quickly, meow!”

Ppiyot! Ppiyot!

[Yeah! Lord Theo, we have to go back quickly!]

Without knowing that, Theo and Ppiyot-i urged Pan Chen to quicken his steps.

***

Dinner time.

“Cuengi, you’re ready, right?”

Clatter.

Se-jun said as he poured the sliced potatoes into the black pot.

Cuengi!

[Cuengi is ready!]

Today’s sous-chef, Cuengi, holding the pot lid, answered Se-jun’s question with confidence.

“Good. Then let’s begin!”

Se-jun infused mana into the handle to make the pot hot.

And,

“Cuengi, now!”

Cuengi!

[Understood!]

At Se-jun’s signal, Cuengi grew to about 5 meters in size and partially covered the pot with the pot lid.

And,

Cueeeeng!!

[Become deliciousss!!]

Cuengi blew wind into the pot while weakly using Kkuenghu.

It was a 99th-floor-style air fryer utilizing the high heat of the black pot and Cuengi’s wind.

After Cuengi used Kkuenghu about ten times like that,

“Cuengi, you can stop now.”

Cueng?!

[Is it already done?!]

“Yeah. Let’s open it quickly.”

Cueng!

[Understood!]

Chuck.

When Cuengi opened the pot lid,

Sizzle, sizzle.

He saw the French fries still frying from the remaining heat.

Sprinkle, sprinkle.

Se-jun sprinkled salt on the French fries, and

Stir, stir.

Stirred the French fries up and down so that the salt would mix well, letting the steam out.

After a moment,

“Did it turn out well?”

Chuck.

He picked up a French fry and put it in his mouth.

Crunch.

It was salty, crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. Perfect!

Gulp.

Cueng?!

[Dad, is it delicious?!]

Cuengi swallowed his saliva as he watched Se-jun eating the French fries.

“Yeah. Cuengi, you try some too.”

Pop.

Se-jun popped a French fry into Cuengi’s mouth.

Cuhahaha. Cueng!

[Hehehe. It’s delicious!]

Cuengi expressed his joy by stomping his feet.

“Ajax, eat dinner!”

In the meantime, Se-jun called Ajax, who was crouching outside and digging up potatoes with a hoe.

“Yes! Hyung-nim!”

Ajax hurriedly flew over at Se-jun’s call.

‘Hehehe! I wonder what kind of delicious food Hyung Se-jun made this time?’

He was filled with great anticipation.

“Oh! As expected of Hyung-nim Se-jun!”

Of course, Se-jun’s cooking was beyond expectations.

The salty French fries were delicious even when eaten plain.

They were also delicious when dipped in the tomato sauce eaten in the morning.

While Se-jun, Cuengi, and Ajax were deliciously eating the French fries like that,

[Master, I’m back!]

“Huh?! Lord Se-jun, were you already having dinner?!”

Veronica returned with Flamie on her shoulder.

Flamie had taken Veronica to show her around the farm yesterday morning, and they had just arrived now.

Although it was called a tour, in reality, she had gone and pruned and picked seeds for the Ents living in the southwest under Flamie’s instructions.

“Welcome back, Flamie. Please help yourself too, Ms. Veronica.”

Se-jun offered French fries while taking Flamie from Veronica.

At that moment,

‘What?! Why is Hyung Se-jun using polite language to her?’

Since Hyung Se-jun was the hyung of him, Ajax, he shouldn’t use polite language to just anyone!

Ajax, who became uncomfortable seeing Se-jun speak politely to Veronica,

Glared at Veronica.

“I… I greet the Great White Dragon!”

Veronica, who felt Ajax’s gaze, discovered Ajax late and hurriedly bowed.

‘If you receive polite language from Hyung Se-jun from now on, I won’t let you off!’

Ajax threatened Veronica via telepathic magic.

‘Yes! Great White Dragon.’

Thanks to this, Se-jun received an earnest request from Veronica to speak informally to her, and he began to speak comfortably.

After dinner ended like that,

“Flamie, could you stand here for a moment?”

Se-jun said as he put Flamie down from his shoulder onto the ground.

[Yes! Should I stand here?]

“Yeah. Just stay like that for a second.”

After Se-jun had Flamie stand,

Pop.

He opened the glass bottle containing the Elixir of Harvest.

Se-jun intended to use the Elixir of Harvest on Flamie to make her grow.

Drip.

Like that, Se-jun dropped a drop of the Elixir of Harvest onto Flamie’s leaf.

[Heheh. It’s refreshing!]

Flamie, who received the Elixir of Harvest, smiled refreshingly.

However,

……

There was no reaction from Flamie.

‘Is one drop not enough?’

Drip.

Since there was no reaction at all, Se-jun dropped one more drop of the Elixir of Harvest.

[Hyah! Master, I feel strength rising!]

Although Flamie showed a muscle with her leaf, her body did not grow at all.

‘What is it?’

Chuck.

Se-jun thought it was dangerous to use more than two drops, so he placed Flamie back on his shoulder, and

Rustle.

the root that had been connected to Flamie quickly disappeared into the ground.

And,

Northwest region.

[Everyone, grow rapidly!]

Creak. Creak.

Flamie shared the energy of the Elixir of Harvest with the Ents, making them grow.

This was the reason she had taken Veronica.

In order to make the Ents absorb the energy of the Elixir of Harvest well.

Like that, Se-jun failed in growing Flamie.

Drip.

Se-jun carefully dropped the Elixir of Enhancement onto the Elixir: Cherry Tomato Seed Holding Great Mana.

Having used the elixir, Se-jun intended to quickly resolve the rest as well.

“Ajax, go to the White Tower for a moment.”

He told Ajax to go to the White Tower in order to plant the enhanced seed.

At that,

Teary-eyed.

“Hyung Se-jun, you are too much…”

Ajax built up tears in both eyes, making a very disappointed expression. *Hyung Se-jun, do you dislike me?!*

“It’s not like that. Just plant this and harvest it, then come back. I will call you back right away tomorrow morning.”

“Really?! You must call me! Got it?!”

“Yeah. Don’t worry.”

“Alright. Then I’ll go.”

Ajax agreed to go to the White Tower only after receiving multiple assurances from Se-jun.

“Take this. After planting the seed, drop a drop on top of it, and if there is no reaction, sprinkle one more drop.”

Se-jun said as he gave the Elixir of Harvest to Ajax.

“Got it! Hyung!”

“Then do a good job and come back. Go back, Ajax.”

“Hyung! You must call me tomorrow morning! Got it?!”

“Yeah.”

[De-summoning Ajax Mamuve, the White Tower Farmer of the White Tower.]

Receiving confirmation from Se-jun until the very end, Ajax returned to the White Tower.

And around that time,

“It’s here!”

Pan Chen arrived on the 66th floor of the tower, leading Theo and Ppiyot-i.
