nTL: Hanguk

n“Hmm, where am I?”

nSejun opened his eyes, looking up at the ceiling of his bedroom.

n‘Ah, I fainted.’

n“Uh, uh.”

nChills ran down his spine as he remembered the excruciating pain before fainting. It was an experience he didn’t want to go through again.

nThen,

n(Sejun, you’re awake?!)

nFlap, flap.

nThe golden bat, which had been monitoring Sejun from the ceiling, flew itself down and landed gently next to Sejun’s face as he opened his eyes.

n(I’m glad you’re awake!)

nFlap. Flap.

nThe golden bat rubbed its face on Sejun’s cheek, making a pleasant sound.

n“Thank you for worrying about me.”

nAs SeJun tried to move his arm to pet the golden bat,

n“Huh?” .𝒎

nHis arm didn’t move. In fact, he couldn’t move his body at all.

n“What’s going on?”

nCould this be a side effect of his new talent? Suddenly, he was scared.

n“Uh.”

nStruggling, Sejun raised his head to look down at his body.

n“What the hell?!”

nSejun was taken aback when he saw himself tightly tied up like a caterpillar with ropes. It was Cuengi’s handiwork to prevent Sejun from going outside and fainting again.

n“Uh! Uh! Huh!”

nSejun tried to break the ropes, but it was impossible with his strength as the ropes were made from several layers of green onion leaves.

n“Golden Bat, can you untie this?”

nIn the end, Sejun gave up trying to untie it himself and asked the golden bat for help.

nBut,

n(Huh? Brother Cuengi said not to untie you under any circumstances!)

nThe golden bat looked troubled at Sejun’s request. It could be because of Cuengi’s threat, as Cuengi’s fist was big and strong.

n‘Is my word more important? Or is Cuengi’s word more important?’ Sejun could have pressed the golden bat with such childish questions but refrained.

n‘I’m an adult.’

nIt wasn’t that he felt like he’d lose to Cuengi.

n“I should buy some seeds.”

nSejun gave up on untying the ropes and checked the seed shop window that had appeared while he was unconscious.

nRadish Seed x200 – 3 Tower Coins

nCabbage Seed x100 – 1 Tower Coin

nCheongyang chili pepper Seed x100 – 0.7 Tower Coins

nCucumber Seed x100 – 0.5 Tower Coins

n“All together that’s 5.2.”

nIt was slightly over the purchase limit of 5 tower coins.

n“Let’s leave out the Cheongyang chili peppers.”

nThe Cheongyang chili peppers were already harvested and reseeded. There were about 200 seeds in one Cheongyang chili pepper, so it wasn’t a big loss.

nSejun purchased all the remaining seeds.

nYou have purchased 200 radish seeds.

nYou have purchased 100 cabbage seeds.

nYou have purchased 100 cucumber seeds.

nA total of 4.5 Tower Coins have been deducted from Park Sejun’s seed bank account.

nYou have earned 45 Seed Shop loyalty points.

nYou now have a total of 151 seed Shop loyalty points.

nKaching.

nThree small leather pouches containing seeds fell onto Sejun’s tied hands.

nThank you for using the seed shop.

nYou can use Seed Shop Lv. 2 again after 30 days.

n“But what time is it now?”

n(It’s dawn.)

n“Is that so? Should I sleep some more?”

nSejun closed his eyes to sleep again.

nBut,

nFlap, flap.

nThe golden bat was lying on Sejun’s chest, gazing at him with a satisfied look. The gaze was too burdensome for Sejun to fall asleep.

n‘I should check my talent.’

nWhile avoiding the gaze of the golden bat, Sejun looked at the ceiling and checked the talent: Magic Circuit that made him faint.

nTalent: Magic Circuit

n– A talent that allows you to construct a circuit throughout your body to efficiently use mana.

n– Magic Power stat 5%

n– Magic Power recovery speed 100%

n– Effect of magic power-increasing items 50%

n“Wow…”

nThe talent was so amazing that Sejun couldn’t close his mouth.

nA 5% increase in Magic Power Stat meant that if he had a stat of 100, it would increase by 5.

nAnd every single option, including magic power recovery speed increase by 100% and effect of magic power-increasing items increase by 50%, was amazing.

n“Hehehe, Is this really my talent? Am I finally becoming stronger?”

nSejun was full of confidence after checking his talent.

n‘With this…’

nWhile thinking about how to use his newly acquired talent,

nSnore.

nSejun fell asleep.

nZzzzzz.

nThe golden bat too.

n***

n“The secret passage is in very good condition.”

nIona used light magic to look around the secret passage and said.

n“But where does this secret passage lead?”

nElka asked ChuChu.

nPi Ppi. (This secret passage is connected to the treasure vault of the Red Ribbon Kingdom.)

nSqueak?! (Treasure vault?!)

nAt ChuChu’s words, the black rabbit asked in excitement.

nHowever,

nPi Ppi. (There are no treasures in the treasure vault. They were all moved a long time ago.)

nChuChu shook her head. It was before ChuChu was even born, so she didn’t know where those treasures went.

n“If it’s connected to the treasure vault, we should be able to go straight to the bottom of Grid’s mansion. From there, we’ll go up.”

nAt Iona’s words, the animals moved along the secret passage. There were traps along the way, but

n“Wind’s power! Follow my command and drive them away! Wind Blow!”

nAll the traps were activated by Iona’s magic.

nThus they arrived at the treasure vault.

n“Who are you?! How dare you raise your head in front of me?!”

nThe white dragon statue in the center of the treasure vault shouted at them.

n***

n“What’s going on? My right arm suddenly hurts.”

nKaiser said, as he rubbed the scar that ran from the front of his right arm to his elbow, that it was a glorious wound obtained from a fight with the Whitey Kellion 8,000 years ago.

nHe had suffered a major injury when his arm bone broke from a powerful punch to Kellion’s jaw, but Kellion had all his front teeth knocked out. It was a one-punch knockout.

n“Hehehe. That guy is doomed to eat only soft things for the rest of his life.”

nKaiser laughed proudly, thinking about that incident. He heard that afterwards, Kellion, regretting the loss of his teeth, had made a dragon knights with the teeth he had lost.

n“When a wound aches like this, strong liquor with sweet side dishes is the best. Hehehe. I should ask Sejun for some roasted sweet potatoes.”

nKaiser took out a bottle of fire carrot wine and moved the black dragon statue to find Sejun.

n***

nSwoosh!

nThe golden bat that had been sleeping on Sejun’s chest quickly woke up as it heard someone approaching.

n‘It’s Brother Cuengi.’

nFlap. Flap.

nAs the golden bat quickly hung itself on the ceiling, Cuengi entered.

n(Nothing unusual during the duty!)

nThe golden bat saluted with its right wing.

nKreong.

nCuengi nodded and checked Sejun’s appearance. Fortunately, it didn’t get caught sleeping.

n“Cuengi! Untie me quickly!”

nSejun, who woke up because of the noise, spoke to Cuengi. He wanted to get up and go to the bathroom.

nKreong!

nSnap.

nWith a little effort from Cuengi, the rope snapped easily.

nSejun quickly went to do his business, and when he returned, .

nKreong!

nI’m hungry!

nCuengi rubbed his face on Sejun’s chest while tapping its stomach.

n“Cuengi, don’t tie Daddy up like this next time, okay? It’s a bad thing.”

nKreong! Kreong!

nI didn’t know it was bad! I won’t tie you up next time!

nCuengi nodded in response to Sejun’s words.

n“Let’s eat.”

nSejun washed an empty pot and started boiling a new soup. The pots in the kitchen were all empty because he took a day off yesterday.

n“Who will cut this?”

nSejun said as he took out the frozen purple locust meat. Theo had gone down to trade, so there was no animal to cut the meat thinly.

nAs Sejun pondered,

n(I’ll help you!)

nThe golden bat offered its assistance.

n“Are you sure?”

n(Leave it to me!)

nSejun was initially worried because of the golden bat’s rickety appearance,

nSwoosh.

nAs he watched the meat being cut smoothly, like pudding being sliced by the golden bat’s wings, Sejun once again realized that worrying about others in this place was utterly useless.

n“That’s right. I just have to do well…”

n“From now on, the golden bat will be the cooking assistant.”

nSejun entrusted the cooking assistant role to the golden bat. The reason was that, unlike Theo, it didn’t shed fur, so it was more hygienic.

n(Thank you!)

nPip-pip.

nThe golden bat was thrilled, as if it were the honor of its family. Thus, the golden bat became an assistant cook.

nJust then,

n“I’m back, meow!”

nTheo, who had just lost a job, returned.

nAnd

nSnuggle.

nAs soon as he returned, Theo clung to Sejun’s knee, and started rubbing his head vigorously. All other smells, disappear, meow!

nWhile Theo was diligently rubbing his scent onto Sejun’s knee,

n“You did well.”

nSejun said, stroking Theo’s head.

n“This is a gift, meow! I bought it with my own money, meow!”

nA while later, after thoroughly rubbing his scent onto Sejun, Theo held out a statue he bought from a street-wandering merchant, using his soft front paws.

n“What kind of statue is this?”

n“I don’t know, meow! I just felt drawn to it, meow!”

nTheo proudly answered Sejun’s question. He didn’t know what it was, but it was natural for him to think it was great because he picked it.

nSwoosh.

nSejun took the small statue from Theo and examined it.

n“Oh?! It’s a rabbit statue.”

nAlthough it was worn a lot, on closer inspection, there was a faint outline of a rabbit. Sejun, who confirmed what kind of statue it was, checked the options of the statue.

nStatue

n→ ???

n→ Creator: Confidential

n→ Grade: F

n“Aileen, appraise this.”

nThe Tower’s Administrator says to leave it to her.

nThe rabbit statue in Sejun’s hand disappeared.

nAnd then,

nThe Tower’s Administrator says it’s a high-grade item.

nThe Tower’s Administrator brags that it was made by her aunt.

n“Aunt?”

nAfter the appraisal, Aileen sent the rabbit statue back to Sejun. The seal broke, and the statue regained its original cute rabbit appearance.

n“It’s not dangerous, right?”

nSince a dragon made it, doubts arose first.

nThe Tower’s Administrator says it is not dangerous at all.

n“Really?”

nThe Tower’s Administrator tells you to trust her.

nSejun rechecked the rabbit statue’s options.

nTreasure Vault’s Guardian Rabbit Statue

n→ A statue ordered and enchanted by the great black dragon Tara Pritani during her time as the guardian dragon of the Red Ribbon Kingdom, made by the dwarves and gifted to the royal family.

n→ It controls the entry and exit of the royal treasure vault, allowing you to freely add or remove items from the vault.

n→ Creator: Black Dragon Tara

n→ Grade: S

n→ Skills: Inbound Lv. Max, Outbound Lv. Max

n“The Red Ribbon Kingdom’s treasure vault?”

nThe Kingdom’s treasure vault?

n“Shall we just see what’s in it?”

nSejun looked at the animals and grinned wickedly. Since he could put the items back, there would be no trace left.

n“Great! Let’s rob the treasure vault!”

nKreong!

nI hope there’s food!

n(I want to see the treasures!)

nThe animals’ intentions were different, but they all agreed to take out items from the treasure vault.

n“Alright. Outbound!”

nAs Sejun held the statue and spoke.

nCurrent list of items available for withdrawal from the Red Ribbon Kingdom’s treasure vault (total 1 item)

nUnregistered Statue X 1

nA list of items that could be taken out of the treasure vault appeared.

n“Ah. There’s only one?”

nIt looked like someone had already taken everything, leaving only the heavy statue.

n“Let’s at least withdraw this one.”

nSejun selected the unregistered statue.

nWithdrawing 1 unregistered statue from the Red Ribbon Kingdom’s treasure vault.

nThud.

nA portal formed in the sky, and a white dragon statue fell.

nA menacing energy emanated from the statue.

n“You said this isn’t dangerous?”

nThe Tower’s Administrator denies that only items she has appraised isn’t dangerous.

nThen

n– Whitey bastard! How dare you come here!”

nKaiser, who had flown over excitedly for his side dish of roasted sweet potatoes, yelled at the sight of the white dragon statue.
