Chapter 385 – Chairman Park is Invincible, Meow!

Seed Shop Headquarters.

[Park Se-jun, the farmer of the Black Tower, has purchased a Sausage Tree Seed.]

[50 Tower Coins are deposited into the Seed Shop from Park Se-jun’s Seed Bank account.]

[50 Tower Coins turn into 50 divine power.]

[The divine power is distributed to Vienna, the God of Sausage.]

“Park Se-jun purchased the Sausage Tree Seed I listed!”

“Congratulations, Vienna.”

“Congratulations. Once the sausages grow…”

Vienna, the God of Sausage, cheered, and the other gods congratulated him.

“Thank you. Guys, take this.”

Just as he had received divine power when he was in difficulty, Vienna shared his divine power with the gods in need.

And

“Park Se-jun!”

“Park Se-jun!”

The non-combat gods chanted Se-jun’s name with one heart. Of course, their voices were too weak to reach Se-jun.

At that moment,

Thump. Thump.

“Chattering away noisily.”

As a giant combat god said a word while passing by,

……

the non-combat gods fell as silent as dead mice.

However, they did not feel as miserable as in the past.

Thanks to the divine power Se-jun provided now, no gods vanished due to a lack of divine power, and the sealed gods were returning one by one.

As the footsteps of the combat god receded,

“Park Se-jun.”

“Park Se-jun.”

they began to quietly chant Se-jun’s name.

“Since Park Se-jun’s Seed Shop grade rose to Transcendence, we can sell more expensive seeds now!”

“Let’s upload Transcendence-grade seeds to the Seed Shop quickly!”

“Then I should upload this! Dragon fruit!”

The gods waited with anticipation for the next Seed Shop to open.

Though small, the flow of the non-combat gods was changing in a positive direction.

***

“Good. Now there are about 1 million servings left. Let’s do our best today too, everyone!”

“Puhuhut. I, Vice President Theo, can gain strength as long as I have Chairman Park’s knees, meow!”

Kkueng!

[Cuengi always has energy, yo!]

“Yes! Brother! Trust me!”

“Yes!”

“I will also work hard today!”

“Kelkelkel. Leave it to us!”

Theo, Cuengi, Ajax, and the other tower farmers replied vigorously to Se-jun’s words.

There was a reason why the other tower farmers worked enthusiastically under Se-jun’s instructions.

That was because…

‘Eating Lord Se-jun’s cooking is the best! If it weren’t for Lady Aileen, I would have kidnapped him. What a shame.’

‘Lord Se-jun will give us delicious steamed potatoes again for lunch, right?’

‘Kelkelkel. If I just stay here, I can avoid Lord Grave’s nagging, and get a delicious lunch on top of that…’

It was because of the meals Se-jun prepared.

Thanks to that, they were able to work happily, thinking about eating.

While everyone was dedicated to prepping the ingredients like that,

Kking!

‘Eating that yellow and chewy thing made me stronger!’

Fenrir, who tasted the dried roasted sweet potato made from the honey sweet potato containing the energy of the Blue Moon for the first time next to Se-jun, became excited.

Kking!

‘Hey! Give me more!’

Fenrir sat in front of Se-jun and barked for more dried roasted sweet potatoes.

However,

“No. If you eat a lot of snacks, you won’t be able to eat your meal later.”

Since Se-jun planned to make fish porridge with fish meat for lunch, he did not give Fenrir the dried roasted sweet potatoes so that he wouldn’t fill his stomach with other things.

Kking…

‘You’re mean…’

Fenrir realized that Se-jun had no intention of giving him the dried roasted sweet potatoes and left the kitchen with weak steps as if disappointed.

However, that was acting to deceive Se-jun.

Trot. Trot.

As soon as Fenrir left the kitchen, he ran to the place where the Creator God’s tombstone was with energetic steps.

Kkihikit. Kking!

‘Heh. I have a secret warehouse!’

Fenrir, who went to his secret warehouse, took out various things, ate his fill, and lay down on the ground,

Kkirorong.

and fell asleep.

Naturally, Fenrir, whose stomach was full at lunchtime, could only eat a little of the fish porridge made by Se-jun.

Kking…

‘I should have eaten more…’

As Se-jun patted the belly of Fenrir, who was lying spread-eagle in regret,

“Finally, it’s the last one.”

He swallowed the last remaining piece of Aileen’s fist meat.

Gulp.

[You have consumed a piece of Aileen’s Healthier Fist Meat.]

[You have consumed all 500 pieces of Aileen’s Healthier Fist Meat.]

[All stats increase by 300.]

Along with the message, Se-jun felt strength overflowing in his entire body.

[All stats have exceeded 2,000.]

[Your status rises.]

[The potential of all stats increases by 500.]

[Your resistance to other energies increases by an additional 10%.]

At the same time, all stats reached 2,000, and his resistance increased further.

“Aileen, thank you. Thanks to you, I’ve grown stronger.”

Se-jun, who had finished eating the fist meat, expressed his gratitude to Aileen.

[The tower administrator says she is glad that you have grown stronger.]

[The tower administrator says that since the necklace charging is almost finished, she will give you a dish she prepared herself when she meets you soon.]

[The tower administrator says that her cooking skills have greatly improved, so you can look forward to it.]

“Yeah…”

‘There was another one…’

Se-jun’s expression darkened rapidly.

***

Texas, USA.

The hunters unintentionally caused the Flesh Devourers to breed in large numbers while hunting them.

The seeds of the Flesh Devourers took root in the ground and grew rapidly, and were hunted by the hunters again.

As they repeated such a process several times over a few days, the number of Flesh Devourers grew exponentially,

and the rate at which the Flesh Devourers increased became faster than the speed at which the hunters defeated them.

And the time had come for the hunters to pay the price for creating this situation.

“Run away!”

The hunters fled, escaping the Flesh Devourers.

However,

Squirm. Squirm.

green stems wrapped around the leg of the hunter who fell furthest behind.

“Agh!”

The hunter whose leg was caught hurriedly raised himself and cut the stems wrapped around his leg, but in the meantime, dozens of stems wrapped around the hunter’s body.

And

Squirm. Squirm.

more stems tightly wrapped around the hunter’s body to prevent him from escaping and dragged him back to the main body.

And

“Aaaah! Save m—”

Crunch.

The head of the Flesh Devourer swallowed the hunter whole.

Behind the Flesh Devourer that swallowed the hunter like that, tens of thousands of Flesh Devourers followed.

Creak. Creak.

The Flesh Devourers moved their roots and slowly migrated toward the direction where the other hunters had fled.

In that direction lay Austin, the capital of Texas.

***

“Good. Now I should start cooking.”

Since he could not make 5 million servings in a single day, Se-jun began by making the soups, which took a long time.

The types of soup were sweet potato soup and potato soup, two kinds.

“Extend.”

Se-jun made firewood using the Guarding Wood Shield and put it into two furnaces.

The Unbreakable Rod, which was originally the firewood maker, had already died a long time ago.

Contrary to its name of being unbreakable, as he used it, it no longer extended, and Se-jun sent it off peacefully through cremation.

While he was boiling the soup while putting firewood into the furnace like that,

[Battler, the God of Battle and owner of the Guarding Wood Shield, does not permit the use of the divine artifact.]

Crackle.

Sparks flew from the shield along with the message.

“Ugh!”

At the tingling sensation, Se-jun dropped the shield.

“Chairman Park, are you okay, meow?!”

Kkueng?!

[Dad, are you okay, yo?!]

Theo, who was clinging to Se-jun’s knees, and Cuengi, who had followed as a cooking assistant, hurriedly asked.

Since the sunfish was in pain, they couldn’t help but worry.

“I’m fine. But what is this?”

‘Does not permit?’

Se-jun recalled the content of the message and examined the Guarding Wood Shield.

Then,

Use Restriction: Strength 500 or higher, Stamina 500 or higher, Farmer prohibited

An additional condition, ‘Farmer prohibited’, had been added to the use restriction. He had used it well until now, so why suddenly?

“Then I’ll have to go cut trees from now on.”

As Se-jun spoke as if it were no big deal and pondered where to cut trees,

“Meow! This shield harassed Chairman Park, meow!”

Kkueng!

[Cuengi will punish the shield that made Dad go ‘ouch’, yo!]

While Theo and Cuengi glared at the Guarding Wood Shield and pondered how to punish it,

-You guys seem qualified to use my shield, unlike that good-for-nothing farmer. I am Battler, the God of Battle, the owner of the divine artifact Guarding Wood Shield. I will allow whichever warrior among you grabs the shield first to use my divine artifact.

The arrogant voice of Battler, the God of Battle, was heard by the two.

But

“Meow?! Did he just call our Chairman Park good-for-nothing, meow?!”

Kkueng?!

[Did he just insult Cuengi’s dad, yo?!]

That only made the two of them even angrier.

Kkueng!

[He made Dad hurt and even insulted him, yo!]

Cuengi, unable to contain his excitement, threw the Guarding Wood Shield high into the sky,

Kkueng!

[It’s the Kkueng Ten-Thousand-Step Fist, yo!]

and threw a punch toward the sky.

It was Cuengi’s new technique of attacking an enemy ten thousand steps away so that Se-jun would not be hurt by his attack.

Of course, he could attack enemies even further away.

Boom!

The shield was turned to dust by Cuengi’s attack, causing an explosion in the sky.

At that moment,

-You rascal! How dare you destroy my divine artifact!

A red energy fell from the sky toward Cuengi.

“Cuengi, it’s dangerous, meow!”

Theo hurriedly used Meow Steps and stood in front of Cuengi, and the red energy was absorbed into Theo’s body.

“Puhuhut. Giant Chairman Park, please…”

Theo collapsed.

***

The Battle Shop Headquarters next to the Seed Shop Headquarters.

Just as non-combat gods sold seeds at the Seed Shop Headquarters, combat gods sold weapons and combat skills at the Battle Shop Headquarters.

Of course, their size and splendor were worlds apart. In accordance with the bodies of the giant combat gods, the size of the Battle Shop Headquarters was much larger and more splendid.

Inside a room of the Battle Shop Headquarters.

“Khahaha. Finally found it!”

Battler, the God of Battle, who had closed his eyes and was searching for the location of his divine artifact, the Guarding Wood Shield, opened his eyes.

But

“But why is a worthless farmer using my divine artifact?”

Soon, he frowned. A mere farmer dared to use his divine artifact as firewood.

“You rascal!”

So, he first put a restriction on using the divine artifact so it couldn’t be used,

“Is there no warrior nearby qualified to use my divine artifact?”

and searched the surroundings of the divine artifact using it.

And,

“Oh! There are! And two of them, no less. Every single one of them is a great warrior!”

He had told the two he found that he would let whichever warrior grabbed it first use his divine artifact, but…

“You rascal! How dare you break my divine artifact!”

Excited, Battler descended his soul through the divine artifact.

Since things had turned out this way, he intended to descend upon him, take over his body, steal the Tower Coins of those around him, and return.

However, because Theo intervened midway, the destination changed.

‘Well, since a cat’s body is also usable…’

Thinking it was no big deal, Battler tried to seize and destroy Theo’s mental body and dominate his physical body.

However,

-How can there be a mental body larger than mine…

Battler, who entered Theo’s mental world, was bewildered when he saw a giant mental body looking down at him. It was three heads taller than himself.

What was even more baffling was that the giant mental body was not the owner of the body. ‘What is this? Was there someone who entered before me?’

While Battler racked his brain to figure out who the opponent was,

“Giant Chairman Park, punish him, meow!”

Theo, who was clinging to the knees of Giant Se-jun, pointed at Battler and shouted,

Thump. Thump.

and Giant Se-jun ran toward Battler and threw a punch, but

Bam!

Giant Se-jun took an uppercut from Battler and fell. His fighting skills were exactly as they were in reality.

-Khahaha. To dare challenge me, Battler, the God of Battle, with that level of skill!

Bam! Bam!

Battler laughed, approached Giant Se-jun, and began to beat him up mercilessly.

However,

“Giant Chairman Park, get up, meow! Chairman Park is invincible, meow!”

that only turned Theo, the fanatic of Se-jun’s knees, into an even stronger fanatic.

“Chairman Park… is… in… vin… cible…”

Feeding on Theo’s belief, Giant Se-jun’s size became even more colossal.
