Chapter 409 – Puhuhut. Neta Tribe, Then I’ll Start the Auction, Meow

[You arrived at the 99th floor of the Black Tower.]

“It’s home.”

Se-jun arrived in front of his house using the Return Bracelet of Dragon Horn.

This time, the return magic was activated with absolute coordinates, so he properly came to the 99th floor of the Black Tower instead of going to the 99th floor of the Green Tower.

Thus, Se-jun arrived at the Black Tower.

“Aileen, what’s the matter?”

He hurriedly called Aileen.

[The tower administrator says not to run away because she will not give you her tasteless cooking in the future.]

“Huh?! Really? No. What’s wrong with Aileen’s cooking? It’s edible. And I didn’t run away because of Aileen’s cooking, but there is the land deed for the 1st floor of the Green Tower, and Theo’s bundle…”

Se-jun hurriedly cleaned up his true feelings that had slipped out, and explained in detail to Aileen how he ended up going to the Green Tower.

[The tower administrator says that she is glad you did not run away to the Green Tower because of her cooking.]

“Yeah. Aileen is here, so why would I run away to another tower?”

Se-jun reassured the anxious Aileen.

[The tower administrator is depressed, saying she finally realized that her cooking is tasteless.]

‘Right. You finally realized it…’

“Still, it’s tastier than the food Orik brings.”

Se-jun comforted Aileen, thinking it was a relief.

‘Hehehe. Let’s not cook anymore, Aileen. Just eat the food I cook deliciously.’

He lowered his head pretending to be sad to hide the corners of his mouth that were rising involuntarily.

However,

[The tower administrator burns with determination to practice cooking harder and make delicious dishes for you.]

Contrary to Se-jun’s expectations, Aileen did not give up on cooking.

“…Yeah. I’ll look forward to it!”

Se-jun cheered for Aileen in a slightly depressed voice, thinking there was also an option not to cook…

Thus, Se-jun finished his conversation with Aileen.

“Ophelia, come in. Over.”

He called Ophelia. It was to ask her to dispatch subordinates to the 1st floor of the tower.

[The slave of the Green Tower asks what is the matter.]

“Send some useful subordinates to the 1st floor of the Green Tower.”

[She asks if something happened on the 1st floor of the tower.]

“Ah. I opened a shop on the 1st floor of the tower. So I need bodyguards to protect the shop and the Ururu tribe working there.”

He excluded the story of the power on the 93rd floor of the tower. Since he must not lose a good source of stats.

[The slave of the Green Tower tells him not to worry.]

[The slave of the Green Tower says she will send useful subordinates.]

Thus, Ophelia received Se-jun’s request.

“Ahem. That human guy, in the end, he asks for help from the competent and great Green Dragon Ophelia Iolg. But whom should I send?”

Rejoicing that she received Se-jun’s request, Ophelia fell into deep thought about whom to send to the 1st floor of the tower.

She was a great Green Dragon. Sending a weak subordinate would make her lose face.

“Okay. I’ve decided on you guys!”

Ophelia sent the 99th floor boss, the 98th floor boss, and the 97th floor boss of the tower to the 1st floor of the tower at the same time.

Because they were sent by teleportation magic, a disturbance like the Black Minotaurs’ march south in the Black Tower did not occur.

***

The 1st floor of the Green Tower.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

The bosses, who received Ophelia’s order, arrived in front of Se-jun’s shop.

“Meow? You’re here, meow? Nice to meet you, meow! I am the subordinate of the Great Black Dragon, the deadly dragon claw, the golden cat Great Merchant Theo Park, meow!”

Theo, who was waiting for Ophelia’s subordinates, welcomed them warmly and introduced himself,

“I am the 99th floor boss of the tower, Agni of Hellfire.”

“I am the 98th floor boss of the tower, Demonic Dog Cerberus.”

“I am the 97th floor boss of the tower, Saintess of Destruction Egel.”

The bosses also introduced themselves.

“But can’t you guys shrink your body sizes, meow?”

Just the three of them standing there was enough to make the shop invisible.

“It is possible.”

“I can do that too.”

“Me too.”

The bosses shrank their bodies to a size similar to Theo’s.

“Puhuhut. Good, meow! What can you guys do, meow?”

“I am good at using fire.”

Fwoosh.

At Theo’s question, Agni answered confidently while breathing out fire.

“Puhuhut. Good, meow! Agni, from now on, roast sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, meow!”

“Yes!”

Thus, Theo turned the 99th floor boss of the tower into a roasted sweet potato vendor.

“I bite well.”

“Cerberus, guard the entrance, meow!”

“I beat things up well, and I can also heal.”

“Puhuhut. Good, meow! Egel will receive money and treat people, meow!”

He made Cerberus work as a guard and Egel as a healer.

‘Puhuhut. Chairman Park said he trusts me, meow!’

‘I will make this shop the shop with the highest sales in the Green Tower, meow!’

Because of Se-jun’s single word of trust, a huge stir was occurring in the Green Tower.

‘What is this? Lady Ophelia told us to listen well to that cat named Theo, so we are listening, but…’

While the bosses, who went as bodyguards but ended up employed at the shop, were wondering,

“Puhuhut. This is the Ururu tribe working at our shop, meow! Please protect them well in the future, meow!”

Theo introduced the Ururu tribe to the bosses.

“Hello!”

“Right. Nice to meet you.”

While the bosses and the Ururu tribe were greeting each other,

“Then, keep up the good work, meow!”

Theo said goodbye and returned to the Black Tower after opening his bundle.

***

The next morning.

“Heave-ho.”

When Se-jun opened his eyes,

[The seal of the Earth Gem was released.]

[Toga, the God of Stones, who had been sealed in the Earth Gem, was released from the seal.]

[Toga, the God of Stones, repaid the favor to the one who had released his seal.]

[Toga, the God of Stones, repaid the favor by turning 1 pyeong of road into a stone field.]

These were the messages that appeared.

“What is this?”

‘How does a stone field repay a favor?’

“Meow…”

Se-jun wore Theo, who had returned at dawn, on his knees and went outside to find the stone field.

“Huh?”

He found the stone field much more easily than expected.

Because the stones, receiving the sunlight, reflected the light and sparkled brilliantly in various colors.

‘Should I call them jewel stones?’ The jewel stones were larger in size than jewel gravel.

‘If they are larger, they are more expensive.’

“Hehehe. Thank you, Lord Toga.”

Se-jun collected the jewel stones,

[Toga Road]

-Toga, the God of Stones, who repaid us with heavy jewels. He was a great god.

And created a 2-pyeong Toga Road, which was twice the size of the path where the jewel stones had been.

After making the path like that,

“Aileen, by any chance, how did the appraisal of the stone knife I asked for last time go?”

Se-jun asked Aileen as he walked around the farm.

[The tower administrator says that you also seem to have a talent for drawing.]

“Hehehe. Is it that good?”

Se-jun, who did not yet know that what he had drawn was a divine tool, said with a laugh.

[The tower administrator says to be careful because it is heavy.]

“Yeah.”

Thump.

Along with Se-jun’s reply, the stone knife appeared in front of him and became embedded in the ground.

[Blade of the Earth]

“Oh. I get a good feeling just from the name already.”

Se-jun hurriedly grabbed the handle of the Blade of the Earth and tried to lift it, but

……

The sword did not move at all.

“What is this?”

Se-jun had no choice but to check the options of the sword embedded in the ground.

[Blade of the Earth]

A divine tool used in battle by Patrick, the God of the Earth.

Because a discarded dimension was compressed to make the blade, its weight was immense.

By injecting mana, it could be made as huge as desired.

When embedded in the ground, the power of the earth was charged, allowing the use of Authority: Blade of the Earth. (Currently available time: 0.3 seconds)

Usage Restriction: Beloved of the Earth, Strength 50,000 or higher

Creator: Patrick, the God of the Earth

Grade: ★★★

“It was a divine tool. But… was this even made to be used?”

‘Strength of 50,000 or higher…’

He felt like he would have to complain to Patrick when he met him later.

“I should just leave it plugged in.”

Since it was better the more the power of the earth was charged anyway, Se-jun decided to just leave the Blade of the Earth alone.

“It’s convenient. I don’t have to worry about anyone stealing it.”

Although there could not possibly be a thief on the 99th floor of the tower, Se-jun pretended to be cool for no reason.

Se-jun left the Blade of the Earth behind and headed to the kitchen area to make breakfast.

A moment later,

Kkueng!

[Dad, good morning, yo!]

Kking!

[I’m hungry!]

Cuengi and Kkamang-i entered the kitchen area together in a friendly manner,

“Here. Let’s eat.”

And they deliciously ate the stir-fried sausage prepared by Se-jun.

When the breakfast was finished like that,

Kkueng!

[Cuengi is going to check the herbs, yo!]

Cuengi packed his lunchbox and left for the western forest,

Kkirorong.

Fenril went back to sleep.

And,

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, just trust me, meow!”

“Huh?”

‘Trust what?’

Theo declared loudly, opened his bundle, and left for the Green Tower.

***

The 1st floor of the Green Tower.

When the opening time arrived, the door to Se-jun’s shop opened,

“Give me 10 roasted sweet potatoes and 100 cherry tomatoes!”

“10 steamed corns for me!”

The Neta tribe hunters, who had skipped breakfast and were only waiting for the shop to open, held out their money and ordered.

In just one day, Se-jun’s shop became the hottest spot on the 1st floor of the Green Tower.

Fortunately, thanks to the cook with good fire power who was hastily hired yesterday, they could handle the pouring orders.

At that time,

“Those who are injured, please get treated here!”

“The pretty older sister will treat you!”

The Ururu tribe children promoted the newly made treatment center next to the shop.

A moment later, a hunter entered the treatment center, and a line began to form in front of the treatment center as well.

“It’s still not enough, meow!”

Theo fell into deep thought as he watched the hunters from the roof of the shop. ‘At this rate, we cannot become the best shop in the Green Tower, meow!’

At that time,

“You got your ear torn off while catching locusts yesterday. Go get it treated.”

“Should I?”

The conversation of the hunters reached Theo’s ears.

And,

“Locusts, meow!”

Having heard the conversation, Theo came up with a way to drag the shop’s sales up by the scruff of the neck.

If he thought about it, the hunters here would also be suffering from the invasion of locusts.

But what about Earth?

“Puhuhut. Thanks to the great Chairman Park, there are none, meow!”

‘Then what is needed most here is…’

“Of course, the Sturdy Blade Green Onions overflowing in the warehouse, meow!”

Currently, because the locusts had completely gone extinct on Earth, there was no demand for the Sturdy Blade Green Onions, and they were piling up in the warehouse.

‘A lot of inventory has piled up lately, so I can just sell them here, meow! I’m so smart, meow!’

Theo praised himself and took out green onions from his bundle,

“Neta tribe! Aren’t you having a headache because of the locusts, meow?! Puhuhut. If you have this, do not worry, meow!”

He shouted toward the hunters.

Locusts were a disaster threatening their world. The attention of the hunters was focused on Theo in an instant.

“Puhuhut. Speaking of this, it is none other than the Sturdy Blade Green Onion that drove the locusts that invaded Earth to extinction, meow!”

Theo spoke while shaking the Sturdy Blade Green Onion,

“What?! You drove the locusts to extinction with a mere piece of grass like that?!”

“Lies! Do you even know what locusts eat before saying that?!”

The hunters shouted in excitement.

“Quiet, meow! Doggie, quiet them down, meow!”

Theo spoke while looking at the Demonic Dog Cerberus guarding the entrance,

Growl.

Cerberus growled at the hunters while increasing his size.

As the immense power pressured the hunters, the hunters quickly quieted down,

“This is the Sturdy Blade Green Onion recognized by the great Chairman Park and the great Green Dragon Ophelia-nim, meow!”

Theo continued his promotion. Although Ophelia had never even seen the Sturdy Blade Green Onion,

‘Since she is Chairman Park’s slave, it’s fine to use her name a bit, meow!’

Theo mentioned Ophelia’s name along with it as if it were nothing.

When Theo’s explanation ended like that,

“What?! The great Green Dragon?”

“If so…”

“Can we see the options first?”

“Puhuhut. Look, meow!”

The hunters began to check the green onion’s options.

A moment later,

“So, how much is this?”

The hunters, who had become interested in the Sturdy Blade Green Onion, asked for the price,

“Puhuhut. Neta tribe, then I will start the auction, meow!”

Theo shouted with a laugh.
