Chapter 446 – Uncle, Thank You So Much for Calling Me!

93.

“The preparations to open the passage?”

“I am sorry. As the Bulsapa who was in charge of the lower floors suddenly disappeared…”

At the cold voice echoing from the massive throne, Bletun of Slaughter, the boss of the 93rd floor of the tower, replied in a voice filled with fear while lying flat on the floor.

“10 days. Finish it within 10 days. Because if you do not finish it within that time, your life will end.”

“Yes!”

As Bletun hurriedly disappeared like that,

-The God of Merchants, Her, says that there is a demon who makes Great Merchants into slaves, and warns to run away unconditionally if you meet a yellow cat.

A message appeared before the entity sitting on the throne.

“Hmph! Run away unconditionally if you see a yellow cat? Ridiculous.”

‘Her, worry about your own life. Although you will be annihilated anyway once destruction sweeps everything away soon. Kekeke.’

Shark, the Great Merchant of Destruction who had been promised a post-destruction world by destruction and worked for destruction, smiled fishily.

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, look at this, nyang!”

Clatter.

Theo pulled out a heap of scrolled documents from his bundle.

“Huh?! Land deeds?!”

“That is right, nyang!”

A whopping 10 land deeds.

There were 7 land deeds for the Green Tower, and 1 each for the 40th floor of the Golden Tower, the 53rd floor of the Red Tower, and the 27th floor of the Blue Tower.

Of course, among the 7 land deeds of the Green Tower, the land deed for the 93rd floor of the Green Tower that Theo wanted was included.

“Wow. Vice Chairman Theo, where did you get this?”

‘There is no way anyone would just give him this many land deeds… Did he snatch them from someone?’

Se-jun deduced a logical conclusion.

However,

“Puhuhut. Turbo gave them to me, nyang!”

Unlike Se-jun’s deduction of a logical conclusion, Theo confidently replied that Turbo gave them to him.

“Turbo?”

‘What kind of guy is he to give this to Theo?’

“He is the guy I newly made into a slave, nyang!”

‘As I thought, what do you mean “gave”? He snatched them…’

Just as Se-jun thought that his guess was indeed correct,

“Chairman Park, this is not the time, nyang! We must go to the 93rd floor of the Green Tower quickly, nyang!”

Theo urged Se-jun.

“The 93rd floor of the Green Tower? Why go there?”

“Chairman Park, listen to me, nyang! Egel is…”

Theo explained Egel’s situation of being threatened by the force on the 93rd floor of the tower.

“So we are going to the 93rd floor of the Green Tower to make slaves, nyang! There are many slaves there, nyang!”

Although he had clearly started by talking about helping Egel, the slave hunter Theo ended up concluding with “slaves” before anyone knew it, and

“Sure. Okay. Since we received help, we should help as well.”

‘Hehehe. Slaves are just surplus goods that are inevitably generated in the process.’

The Slave King, Se-jun.

“Guys, gather! Summon Cuengi.”

Se-jun called his companions to use the land deed, summoning Cuengi with the Dragon Horn Summoning Bracelet, and

[Summoning the designated target.]

“Kkueng?”

“Huh?!”

Cuengi, who appeared in front of Se-jun along with the message, was flustered. This was because he was holding the Thunderbolt Staff high above his head and swinging it forward.

Cuengi had been summoned while sparring with the Bull Demon King.

“Kku-eeeng!!!”

Cuengi turned his body’s direction with all his might using telekinesis, and

Kwa-gwa-gwang!!!

Fortunately, no one was hurt.

Although the house and 100,000 pyeong of the Detoxifying Green Onion field were destroyed instead,

“…I survived…”

‘I should summon carefully next time.’

For Se-jun, who had saved his life, that degree of damage was not a problem at all.

“Okay. Go in.”

Se-jun made his companions enter the subspace warehouse.

“Ophelia, come in. Over.”

Calling Ophelia,

“Ophelia, we are going to the 93rd floor of the Green Tower…”

he spoke to Ophelia in advance so that they could receive help in case of an unforeseen situation.

[The slave of the Green Tower says that in return, she wants 1,000 skewered grilled sausages.]

“Got it.”

[The slave of the Green Tower says not to worry, as you and your companions will never get hurt in the Green Tower.]

While Se-jun was purchasing the Great Green Dragon insurance with 1,000 skewered grilled sausages,

“Ki-ki!”

“Ki-ki!”

the Destruction Devourers clung to the warehouse, asking to be carried in the subspace warehouse following Kkamang-i.

“Kki-hi-hit. Kking! Kking!”

[Hi-hit. Fine! I’ll carry you!]

Kkamang-i began to load the Destruction Devourers into the subspace warehouse without Se-jun’s knowledge.

“Ophelia, and please vacate the 99th floor of the tower for a moment later. So I can go and register the waypoint.”

[The slave of the Green Tower says she understands.]

Unaware of that, Se-jun was diligently conversing with Ophelia.

.

Thus, he planned to register the waypoint on the 99th floor of the Green Tower while he was at it, and acquire the .

Because if he acquired the , the waypoints between the 99th floors of the towers would be connected, allowing Se-jun to go back and forth to the Green Tower as well.

‘Although I won’t go often, I should open the path just in case.’

Thus finishing the talk with Ophelia,

“Hehehe. Now I get to wear it.”

Chul-kuk.

Chul-kuk.

Se-jun put on the [Red Dragon’s Full Scale Armor] that he had been using as a scarecrow.

Since he now met all usage restriction conditions, he was fully able to wear it.

Se-jun finished putting on the armor, and

“Aileen, I’ll be back.”

[The Tower Administrator tells you to go and return safely.]

“Yeah. Don’t worry. I’m off then.”

Chwareureuk.

After saying goodbye to Aileen, he unfolded the land deed for the 93rd floor of the Green Tower.

And

[The summoning function is activated to engrave the initial owner of the land deed for the 93rd floor of the Green Tower.]

Along with the message, Se-jun disappeared.

***

[You have arrived at the 93rd floor of the Green Tower.]

Cheok.

“Guys, come out.”

As soon as Se-jun arrived, he called his companions in a quiet voice while keeping guard of the surroundings. Fortunately, the vicinity was a wasteland with nothing in it.

Chulkung.

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I missed you…”

Chul-kuk.

The subspace warehouse opened, and Theo rushed to Se-jun’s face, opening the helmet visor, and

“Nyang!”

clung to Se-jun’s bare face.

“Hey. Why do you always rub your body against my bare face?”

“That is because Chairman Park’s face has rotted, nyang!”

“It hasn’t rotted!”

“It has rotted, nyang!”

While Se-jun and Theo bickered,

“Kkueng!”

Cuengi flew around in the sky and scouted the surroundings, and

“Kki-hi-hit. Kking!”

[Guys, come out!]

“Yes!”

“Ki-ki!”

“Ki-ki!”

Kkamang-i made Eom-dol-i and the Destruction Devourers come out from the subspace warehouse.

“Huh? These guys…? Kkamang-i, did you bring them?”

“Kki-hi-hit. Kking! Kking!”

[Hi-hit. Of course! Because they are my subordinates!]

When Se-jun asked Kkamang-i while looking at the Destruction Devourers coming out of the subspace warehouse endlessly,

Gulp, gulp.

the Destruction Devourers opened their mouths toward the empty air and began to devour the energy of destruction.

“Huh?!”

‘The energy of destruction is here?’

The 99th floor of the Black Tower had the energy of destruction because Se-jun had intentionally planted Fenrir’s core fragment in the ground, but this place was not like that.

‘What is it? Is there an Apostle of Destruction?!’

While Se-jun kept watch of the surroundings,

“Hey! If you stay there like that, they will come! Hide this way quickly!”

A voice called out to Se-jun while slightly opening the cover of a tunnel.

However,

Kwa-gwa-gwang!!!

Crackle.

[The Herb Collector Cuengi has defeated the Fifth Calamity, the Great Poison Snail.]

···

..

.

Cuengi was already roasting the entities that could pose a threat to Se-jun with the Thunderbolt Staff.

“Huh?! Why is the Fifth Calamity appearing here? Ophelia, did you not even know that a calamity entered the tower?”

Se-jun gave a scolding to Ophelia, but

······.

no response came back.

“Are you trying to communicate with somewhere else? Then it will be useless. The communication is blocked, though I don’t know what they did. Ah. My name is Ari.”

Ari, a green meerkat who had come out of the tunnel before anyone knew it, looked up at Se-jun and said.

“They?”

“Yes. They suddenly appeared about a year ago, using the boss of this place, Bletun of Slaughter, as their subordinate and turning the residents into slaves.”

“Nyang?! Did you say slaves, nyang?!”

At Ari’s words, Theo asked in an excited voice while flaring his nostrils.

“Y-Yes.”

“Then are the snails also controlled by them?”

“Yes. The snails are capturing the tower residents. That is why we hid underground.”

“Is that so?”

When Se-jun listened to Ari about the situation on the 93rd floor of the tower like that,

[A quest occurs.]

[Quest: The mangosteen farm on the 93rd floor of the Green Tower has disappeared after being eroded by the energy of destruction. Eliminate the energy of destruction spread on the 93rd floor of the tower.]

Reward: One mangosteen tree, recognition as the rightful owner of the land deed

The land deed quest appeared.

“So this place was originally a mangosteen farm.”

Thanks to this, Se-jun came to know what kind of farm this place was.

“Ari, where is their main base…”

As he asked Ari for the enemy’s main base,

“Ki-ki!”

“Ki-ki!”

“Kki-hi-hit. Kking!”

[Hi-hit. Guys, run!]

“The Great Lord Kkamang-i is going out! Clear the way!”

The Destruction Devourers carrying Kkamang-i and Eom-dol-i began to run toward the north.

“Excuse me…”

Ari belatedly pointed in the direction the Destruction Devourers had headed.

“Hey! Go together! Guys, let’s go!”

“Understood, nyang!”

“Kkueng!”

[Understood, da-yo!]

Thus, Se-jun, Theo, and Cuengi hurriedly followed behind, worrying about Kkamang-i.

However,

“Kking!”

[Attack!]

“Ki-ki!”

“Ki-ki!”

there was no need to worry much.

The Great Poison Snails of the Fifth Calamity were surrounded by the Destruction Devourers.

Thud, thud.

The Great Poison Snails, consumed by the energy of destruction, began to collapse one by one.

To the Destruction Devourers, the calamity was merely excellent food with good nutrients.

And

Burp!

Burp!

The Destruction Devourers burped and exhaled blue mist.

[You have achieved the great achievement of creation by spreading the energy of creation in the Green Tower.]

[As a reward for the great achievement of creation, the stay cost on the 0th floor of the Black Tower decreases by 1% from now on.]

The messages appeared at the same time.

“Oh. A 1% decrease!”

‘If the stay cost decreases by 1% every time the devourers burp in other towers, since there are 7 towers left…’

“Hehehe. I will be able to reduce it by an additional 7%.”

Then the stay cost would be reduced up to 19%.

‘With some luck, could it even be reduced to 0%?’

And

“Vice Chairman Theo, I believe in you!”

Se-jun had Theo, who possessed the golden front paw of great luck that never missed when it came to being lucky.

“Nyang?! Chairman Park, do you believe in me, nyang?! Understood, nyang! Just believe in me, Vice Chairman Theo, nyang!”

‘Puhuhut. The Great Chairman Park said he believes in me, nyang! I am happy, nyang!’

Theo’s heart swelled at Se-jun’s words.

“Chairman Park, it is that way, nyang!”

‘Suddenly, I feel a pull from over there, nyang!’

Theo, who was hanging onto Se-jun’s lap, pointed to the west with his front paw.

“Is that so? Then we should split into two.”

Theo’s pull could be trusted unconditionally.

Se-jun planned to move while taking Theo and Cuengi for his own safety.

‘Since it is a bit worrying with just Baet-baet-i alone…’

“Summon Black Rabbit.”

He summoned the Black Rabbit with the Dragon Horn Summoning Bracelet to protect Kkamang-i, Eom-dol-i, and the Destruction Devourers.

‘Will it work?’

Considering that communication with Ophelia was cut off, he thought the summoning might not work…

[Summoning the designated target.]

It worked.

“Bpyak!”

[Uncle, thank you so much for calling me!]

Fortunately, the summoning of the Black Rabbit was a success. But why was he thanking him as if he had barely escaped death?

“Black Rabbit and Baet-baet-i, please protect the kids for a bit.”

“Bpyak! Bpyak!”

[Uncle, don’t worry! Just trust me!]

(Baet-baet. Don’t worry!)

Leaving Kkamang-i and the subordinates to the overly energetic Black Rabbit and Baet-baet-i like that,

“Vice Chairman Theo, you said it’s that way?”

“Puhuhut. That is right, nyang! That way, nyang!”

“Kkueng!”

[Cuengi will give you a ride, da-yo!]

Se-jun and Theo got onto Cuengi’s back and flew rapidly toward the direction Theo pointed.

And

“Please save me!”

Stamp, stamp, stamp.

In the eyes of Se-jun and his companions, Shark, the Great Merchant of Destruction wearing a black hood, was visible standing the tower residents in a line and stamping their foreheads.

“Nyang! That’s the one, nyang!”

Theo moved in an instant using the Meow Step and

“Huh?!”

snatched the red stamp that Shark was holding, and

“Chairman Park, catch it, nyang!”

returned to Se-jun even faster using the Meow Meow Step, handing him the stamp Shark had been holding.

***

The 32nd floor of the Black Tower.

“Sigh. When will I get there?”

The Farming King, who received the trial of Rhea, the Goddess of Abundance, climbed the tower diligently toward the 99th floor of the tower while letting out deep sighs.
