Chapter 416 – The One Who Can’t Fight Is Se-jun!

Inside Se-jun’s mental world.

“What are you?! Why are copying my appearance! Change it right now!”

“You’re the one who should change your appearance quickly!”

There, two Se-juns were claiming to be the real Se-jun.

Fitting for his class as the Replicator, Copy had transformed into Se-jun’s appearance.

Who was Se-jun?

Watching the two of them, the giant wolf Kkamang-i fell into a dilemma about whom to attack.

Because Kkamang-i’s size in the mental world was so massive that it was difficult to fit in Se-jun’s eyes, the two did not notice Kkamang-i.

There was only one chance. He had to be extremely careful.

If he accidentally attacked the real Se-jun, Se-jun’s soul would be destroyed, and of course, Se-jun would die too.

‘Who is our Se-jun?’

While Kkamang-i was lost in thought like that,

Thud! Thud!

The two Se-juns, who had been arguing, began to fight each other.

No.

“Argh!”

One of the Se-juns was being unilaterally beaten.

Since his stats were low, and he had few combat skills or combat experience, he could only get beaten.

Indeed. The one being unilaterally beaten was the real Se-jun.

‘What’s with this guy? He told me to pass the trial, but why is he suddenly transforming into me and hitting me?!’

‘And if you’re going to transform into me, your stats and skills should be the same as mine too!’

While Se-jun was feeling aggrieved like that,

‘Found him!’

Kkamang-i found the real Se-jun.

The one who can’t fight is Se-jun!

Kkamang-i was 100% sure.

Thud!

Kkamang-i carefully moved his front paw and stepped on the fake Se-jun.

“Cheating…”

Crushed under the suddenly appearing giant pillar, the fake Se-jun barely managed to squeeze out a word before turning into gray smoke and being absorbed into Se-jun,

“You’re the one who is more cheat…”

Se-jun, who was answering, lost consciousness.

***

“Ugh.”

[You have absorbed the residual thoughts of Copy, the Replicator.]

[You have learned how to use the Skill Plunder Stone.]

[You are now able to use the Skill Plunder Stone more efficiently.]

[Mental Power increases by 50.]

As Se-jun, who opened his eyes, was reading the messages,

“Chairman Park, are you awake, meow?!”

Cuengi?!

[Papa, are you okay, yo?!]

Theo and Cuengi, who had been massaging the unconscious Se-jun’s face and body, asked in welcoming voices.

“Yes. I’m okay…”

As Se-jun answered and tried to get up,

“Chairman Park, lie down more, meow!”

Cuengi! Cuengi!

[That’s right, yo! Papa, rest more, yo!]

Theo and Cuengi pressed Se-jun’s body to prevent him from rising. The two of them thought Se-jun had fainted from exhaustion.

That was why they were making him rest.

I’m fine, though…

Se-jun wanted to get up, but

……

Since the two of them pressed down with their strength, he couldn’t get up.

Kkirorong.

Thus, Se-jun was forced to rest while listening to Kkamang-i’s snoring.

‘Is this how I use it?’

While examining the Skill Plunder Stone, he brought it close to Theo’s body.

Then,

[Do you want to plunder the target’s skill?]

A message appeared.

“Yes.”

As Se-jun answered,

[One of the skills possessed by the target will be randomly plundered.]

The Skill Plunder Stone plundered one of Theo’s skills. Perhaps because he had no rejection toward Se-jun, not even consent was needed.

[You have plundered the Skill: Meow Step (Master).]

“Meow Step?”

When Se-jun looked at the Skill Plunder Stone,

[Skill Plunder Stone]

Currently Plundered Skill (1/2): Skill: Meow Step (Master)

The skill he had just plundered was visible.

And the ‘(1/2)’ displayed next to it.

Originally, only one skill could be plundered,

‘Hehehe. It’s thanks to the residual thoughts of Copy, the Replicator.’

As he became able to use the Skill Plunder Stone more efficiently, he could now plunder up to two skills.

As Se-jun stared at the plundered skill, Meow Step, the skill description appeared.

[Skill: Meow Step (Master)]

This is a creative skill created for fast movement by Theo Park, the subordinate of the Great Black Dragon, the deadly dragon claw, the golden cat, and the great merchant.

Chairman Park, it’s so good, meow!

It is a skill that allows high-speed movement with the effect of Agility stat X 5 by consuming mana for 100 seconds.

I respect Chairman Park, meow!

If moving on all fours, you can move at ultra-high speed with the effect of Agility stat X 10.

Chairman Park is the best, meow!

“Wow.”

Se-jun admired after seeing the skill description.

It was amazing. To think one could move at 5 times the Agility stat for 100 seconds…

Although he could move at 10 times the speed if he walked on all fours, he did not want to go that far just to move quickly.

But was it because it was a creative skill…

Titles like “Theo Park, the subordinate of the Great Black Dragon, the deadly dragon claw, the golden cat, and the great merchant,” which the Black Tower’s system did not recognize, or

Theo’s thoughts like “Chairman Park, it’s so good, meow!”, “I respect Chairman Park, meow!”, and

“Chairman Park is the best, meow!” were included directly in the skill description.

In a word, it meant there were many useless words.

‘Hehehe. For Vice President Theo to mention me even in a skill.’

Of course, Se-jun was very pleased.

While Se-jun was reading the skill description like that,

“Chairman Park, aren’t you hot, meow?”

Theo fanned Se-jun with his front paws, and

Cuengi?

[Papa, aren’t you thirsty, yo?]

Cuengi treated Se-jun extremely warmly, handing him a cup filled with water.

After a while,

“Let’s pack quickly and go home.”

As Se-jun got up,

“Chairman Park, actually there is one more thing that attracts me, meow!”

Theo led Se-jun and went to another pile of gems.

And,

“It’s this one, meow!”

As Theo put his front paw into the pile of gems and pulled it,

Rumble.

Making a heavy sound, the golden cart buried in the pile of gems slowly moved and revealed itself.

Why was a cart here…?

[The Automatic Cart that Wanders the Black Tower and the Golden Tower]

Unlike its grand name, the cart was a very simple structure with a square box connected to four wheels.

“What is this?”

Wandering the Black Tower and the Golden Tower? An automatic cart? Did it mean it moved automatically?

Se-jun quickly put his hand on the cart to check the options.

[The Automatic Cart that Wanders the Black Tower and the Golden Tower]

This is a cart born from the Great Merchant promotion trial of the Black Tower.

Struck-by-lightning giant paulownia wood, Sacred Bone powder, speed sacred stone, top-grade magic stone, and lightning spirit stone were used as materials.

Being made of struck-by-lightning paulownia wood, Sacred Bone powder, and lightning spirit stone, it has strong resistance to the lightning attribute.

If you load items to sell into the cart and set the desired price, the cart will wander the Black Tower and the Golden Tower for 30 days, automatically selling the items. (The cart moves to a different floor every 10 days.)

Although it returns immediately once all items are sold, 30 days must pass from the initial departure date before the cart can wander again. (You can send the cart out to wander immediately by paying 1 million coins per day for the remaining days.)

If you set the items you wish to purchase in the cart, the cart will purchase and return with up to 5 types of items. (If you do not set all 5, the cart will automatically purchase the remaining items.)

It is bound to the Great Merchant Theo Park.

Use Limit: Great Merchant, Mana 10,000 or higher

Creator: God of ?? of ????

Grade: ★

“Ah. This…”

The cart born from the Great Merchant promotion trial. It seemed like this belonged to Yuren… but it seemed to have become bound to Theo when Theo grabbed it just now.

“Huh?! That’s my cart!”

As expected, Se-jun’s prediction was correct, as Yuren shouted while looking at the cart.

“Yuren, I’m sorry.”

Se-jun held Yuren’s shoulder and said in an apologetic voice.

“Yes? Why?”

“Well… the cart became bound to Theo.”

“Meow?”

Theo, perhaps not knowing that the cart was bound to him, was flustered by Se-jun’s words.

“Uhehe. It’s okay. I was originally planning to give it to Theo-nim anyway.”

“Really?”

“Puhuhut. I will use it well, meow!”

Thanks to that, Se-jun’s and Theo’s faces brightened up completely.

As soon as Yuren saw the automatic cart that wanders the Black Tower and the Golden Tower, he thought it would be best for Theo to use it.

It was because of his own misfortune. If his unfortunate self used it, the cart might go to some strange place.

Perhaps the world would even perish…

Actually, Yuren had used the cart briefly on the day he became a Great Merchant.

He had sent it empty to make it return quickly, but the cart that returned in less than 10 minutes was covered in the corpses of strangely-shaped small monsters.

They had died during dimensional travel.

Yuren was certain. Those were not creatures of this world. The cart that was supposed to go to the Black Tower or the Golden Tower had gone to a strange and dangerous place before returning.

After that, Yuren was contemplating how to use the cart, and when the Faceless Great Thief Rune stole it, he thought it was a relief.

Although it was a pity that he also took other fortunes.

“Yuren, thank you. Instead, I’ll cook lots of delicious food for you.”

“Uhehe. Thank you.”

At Se-jun’s words, Yuren smiled broadly.

After legally receiving the cart from Yuren like that,

“Vice President Theo, let’s send the cart once.”

“Puhuhut. Understood, meow!”

Theo began to load items to sell into the cart. He loaded cherry tomatoes, sweet potatoes, green onions, carrots, potatoes, and set the prices.

“For the item to purchase, just set the land deed for the 35th floor of the Golden Tower for now.”

“Puhuhut. Understood, meow!”

At Se-jun’s words, Theo set the item for the cart to purchase,

“Then go and make lots of money, meow!”

When Theo pushed the cart slightly,

Hum.

A black hole appeared in front of the cart, and the cart moved into the hole.

After sending the cart like that,

“Then this means this is the hideout of the Faceless Great Thief Rune.”

It was certain, seeing that Yuren’s cart was here. No wonder there were so many treasures.

The party was only able to completely raid the treasure warehouse after spending a few more hours packing gems.

Everyone’s pockets were filled with gems to the point they could not hold any more.

“Cuengi, let’s go catch the thief now!”

Cuengi! Cuengi!

[Understood, yo! Just trust Cuengi, yo!]

As the time for him to play an active role finally came, Cuengi sniffed hard and chased after the Faceless Great Thief Rune.

As they moved, stairs appeared, and when they went up the stairs, a giant laboratory appeared.

On the walls, there were countless books and reagents, and an enormous amount of documents were piled up on the desks and the floor.

At that moment,

Cuengi?

Cuengi tilted his head.

“Cuengi, what’s wrong?”

Cuengi!

[The scent cut off here, yo!]

“Do you smell any other scents?”

Cuengi! Cuengi!

[I do, yo! But there are too many scents, yo!]

Cuengi shook his head and answered.

“Puhuhut. Chair…”

Se-jun hurriedly blocked the mouth of Theo, who was trying to step forward, thinking this was his chance. If Theo played an active role again here, our Cuengi would be disappointed again.

“If you stay still, the exclusive right to my knees will be extended by a week. Nod if you like it.”

Nod. Nod.

Theo nodded his head vigorously at Se-jun’s words.

Good. Win-over complete.

Se-jun withdrew his hand that had been blocking Theo’s mouth.

And,

Hmm…

He fell into thought.

How could he catch the thief? No, how could he call the owner?

Se-jun, who was contemplating for a moment,

“Ah! Cuengi, release a weak Kkuenghu!”

Cuengi! Kkueng!

[Understood, yo! Kkuenghu!]

At Se-jun’s words, Cuengi used Kkuenghu at 10% output without any suspicion.

Clatter.

Clatter.

Reagents were shattered by Kkuenghu. All the reagents on one side of the wall broke.

‘Hehehe. Even with this kind of havoc, you won’t come out?’

Se-jun’s strategy was to cause havoc.

Just looking at it, this was a space where important research had been conducted for a long time. The owner had to appear. Without fail.

However, as if this was still too weak, there was no sign of them appearing.

If so…

“Cuengi, shall we do the spark thing after a long time?”

Cuengi!

[Understood, yo!]

Swish, swish, swish.

At Se-jun’s words, Cuengi began to rub his two front paws.

Then,

Crackle. Crackle.

A blindingly bright white spark was created.

‘If I put this to the documents, they will all burn immediately, so what are you going to do?’

This was a signal Se-jun was sending to the owner of the laboratory.

At that moment,

“S… Stop! That really cannot happen! Please!”

From a hidden place in the ceiling of the laboratory, the Faceless Great Thief Rune appeared.
