n1st floor of the 10th Tower.
n‘Me?!’
nCan you see me?
nWhen the man eating popcorn pointed at his own face in response to Flamie’s question,
n‘Yes, you.’
nNod. Nod.
nFlamie shook its roots up and down.
n“Is someone there?”
nStella asked, focusing on the direction Flamie’s roots were pointing.
nBut
nThere’s nothing there?
nStella couldn’t see anything.
n“You’re not teasing me because you won, are you?”
nStella glared fiercely at Flamie.
nWhat?! Can’t you see the person eating popcorn over there?
nThis ontent is taken from fгeewebnovёl.co.
nFlamie said, sounding frustrated.
n“Popcorn? What’s popcorn?”
nPopcorn is made when you apply heat to Stamina Corn grown by the master, and the inside bursts… Huh?! How are you eating the master’s popcorn?
nDid you steal my master’s crops?!
nFlamie, who was explaining popcorn to Stella, became angry and showed hostility towards the man.
n-Ah. Don’t misunderstand, I didn’t steal it. But it’s impressive that you can see me. Is it because you’re Park Sejun’s tree who cleared the 10th Tower’s trial?
nThe man hurriedly explained, seemingly wanting to clear up the misunderstanding.
n“Huh?! That voice is the Administrator?”
nStella reacted to the man’s familiar voice.
n-Yes. Let me formally introduce myself.
nWhen the man turned off the observer mode, a man with brown hair holding popcorn appeared in Stella’s eyes.
n“I am Hamer, the Administrator of the 10th Tower and the God of Farming.”
nWhen Hamer introduced himself to the two,
nOh?! Are you really Hamer-nim?!
nFlamie looked at Hamer as if she was looking at a celebrity.
n“Hoho. Yes. I am Hamer, the God of Farming…”
nAs Hamer felt proud due to Flamie’s attitude,
nHamer-nim! Quickly acknowledge my master’s farming skills!
nIf Hamer-nim acknowledges, then master only need Patrick-nim’s recognition!
nFlamie grabbed Hamer’s legs with her roots and started pleading him to quickly acknowledge Sejun.
n“No. I can’t acknowledge him so easily.”
nWhy not?! My master is really good at farming!
n“Of course, I know that.”
nHamer, being the God of Farming, already knew well about the farming skills of Sejun, the Tower Farmer.
nThen why don’t you acknowledge my master?
n“This is a sacred test of the gods! It can’t be rushed! There are procedures to follow!”
nBut…
n“Hey now! I said wait!”
nHamer shouted loudly at Flamie.
nPark Sejun. The popcorn is running low. Harvest the Stamina Corn!
nHe started fulfilling his selfish desires while giving Sejun a quest.
nAnd then,
nLeah-nim recognized him right away though…
nFlamie looked at Hamer with suspicious eyes. It seemed like Flamie might hit Hamer soon.
n***
nMorning at the 99th floor of the Black Tower.
nTheo went to work at the Green Tower, and Cuengi went to tend herbs in the western forest, and
nYou have planted Destruction Devourer seeds in the magic-infused land.
n…
n..
n.
nSejun was planting the Destruction Devourer seeds that he had collected so far.
nAnd then,
nKihihit. Kking!
nHehe. Guys, follow the leader!
nKiki!
nKiki!
nBlackie, who was playing the leader role with the Destruction Devourers under the pretext of protecting Sejun, was doing so again today.
nAs Sejun was planting seeds,
n“Chairman Park, I’m back, meow!”
nAt lunchtime, Theo, who had sold out all the goods at the Green Tower, returned.
n“Vice Chairman Theo, good job.”
n“Puhuhut. Of course, I did a good job, meow!”
nTheo emphasized how hard he had worked, as if he had been waiting for Sejun’s words.
nPraise me quickly, meow!
nIt was to receive praise from Sejun.
n“Yes. Our Vice Chairman did a great job.”
nSejun gave Theo some Churu and petted his belly as he climbed onto his lap.
n“Puhuhut.”
nSlurp slurp slurp.
nAs Theo began to eat the Churu with a bright smile in response to Sejun’s praise,
nKking?! Kking!
nHey! What about me?! Give me food too!
nBlackie, who had been playing the leader role, hurriedly ran over and sat in front of Sejun.
n“Here. Blackie, you get some dried sweet potatoes.”
nKihihit.
nChomp. Chomp. Chomp.
nAfter feeding the two, Sejun also took out a few convenience store triangular kimbap and started eating them one by one.
nAt that moment,
nKihihit.
nBlackie quickly ran away with a triangle kimbap that hadn’t been unwrapped yet.
n“Hey! It’s dangerous if you eat the plastic wrap!”
nSejun hurriedly tried to stop him, but
nKihihit. Kking! Kking!
nHehe. I’m going to unwrap and eat it myself! And the great Blackie can digest anything!
nIgnoring Sejun’s words, Blackie ran away quickly.
nBut then,
nFlailing. Flailing.
nKking?!
nBlackie, who was running hard, suddenly realized he was running in midair.
nAnd then,
nBang! Crackle.
nBang! Crackle.
nHe saw Cuengi slowly approaching him, hitting his own front paws with the Thunderbolt Staff.
nCaught in Cuengi’s telekinesis, Blackie couldn’t move in midair.
nKueng?
nBlackie, are you ready to get a taste of justice?
nBlackie shook his head vigorously in response to Cuengi’s question.
nKueng.
nThen hand it over.
nWhen Cuengi extended his front paw,
nKking…
nBlackie reluctantly spat out the triangular kimbap with a regretful face.
nThus, Blackie’s attempt at stealing the triangular kimbap ended in failure,
n“If you wanted to eat it, you should have just asked.”
nBlackie listened to Sejun’s nagging.
nKking!
nI wanted to unwrap it myself!
n“Oh. Is that so? Then go ahead and try.”
nRealizing why Blackie had tried to take the triangular kimbap, Sejun handed it to Blackie to let him unwrap it.
nKihihit. Kking!
nHehe. The great Blackie will unwrap it!
nExcited with Sejun’s permission, Blackie began unwrapping the triangular kimbap.
nBut,
nRustle.
nRustle.
nBlackie’s mouth structure made it too difficult to unwrap the triangular kimbap’s packaging.
nMoreover, every time Blackie, who had dragon teeth, applied a bit too much force, small holes appeared in the triangular kimbap.
nKking?!
nDamn it! Why isn’t this working?!
nBlackie got irritated when the packaging wouldn’t unwrap even after struggling for a while.
nFine! I’ll just eat it whole!
nAs Blackie was about to take a big bite of the triangular kimbap with the wrap still on,
nKuhehehe. Kueng!
nHehe. It’s easy if you unwrap it step by step from the first part!
nCuengi, who was watching Blackie while unwrapping and eating his own triangular kimbap effortlessly, said,
nKueng!
nNo, you can’t do that!
nCuengi lightly swung his Thunderbolt Staff to stop Blackie.
nThwack! Crackle.
nKkiiieeet!
nBlackie, struck by the Thwack! Crackle, shivered and convulsed.
n“That’s why you should just eat what I have unwrapped for you. Why are you being so stubborn?”
nAs Sejun was looking at Blackie pitifully,
nA quest has been triggered.
nQuest: Harvest 1 million Stamina Corns and get recognized for your farming skills by Hamer, God of Farming.
nStamina Corn (0
/1 million)
nReward: Recognition from Hamer, God of Farming, 1 drop of Enhancing Elixir
nHamer’s quest appeared.
nHamer has the
nTherefore, to replenish his diminishing popcorn supply, he issued a quest to Sejun to harvest the Stamina Corn.
n“1 million?”
nIt was a large number, but for Sejun, who harvested tens of thousands of crops daily, it wasn’t much.
nMaybe it’ll take about three months?
nIt was just a matter of time.
nYou have harvested Stamina Corn.
n…
n..
n.
nAfter having lunch, Sejun spent the afternoon harvesting corn.
nHe did not use the five drops of Harvest Elixir he received upon completing the White Tower’s quest on the corn.
nEach corn seed produced only about 20 ears of corn, and since corn is an annual plant, it had to be harvested by cutting down the entire stalk, making the use of Harvest Elixir extremely inefficient compared to other crops.
nThree hours later.
n“Guys, clean it.”
nMoo!
nThe Black Minotaurs began to happily eat the remaining corn stalks in the harvested cornfield.
nAnd then,
nYou have planted Stamina Corn seeds in magic-infused soil.
n…
n..
n.
nAfter the Black Minotaurs cleaned up the cornfield, Sejun started planting corn again.
nWhile Sejun was busy planting corn,
nKiki! Kiki! Kiki!
nKiki! Kiki! Kiki!
nSuddenly, the Destruction Devourers, sensing something, began running in one direction.
nKking?
nGuys, where are you going?
nBlackie, who had been playing on top of the Destruction Devourers, naturally moved along with them.
nThus, Blackie went on another unintentional adventure.
n***
nThe merchant corridor connecting the 90th and 99th floors of the Black Tower.
nPiyo! Piyo!
nUren-nim, we’re almost there! Hang in there!
n“Yes!”
nPiyot, sitting on Uren’s shoulder, cheered him on.
nThey were moving to the 99th floor to deliver the money they had collected to Theo.
nAnd then,
nAre we finally going to see Fenrir-nim?
nKrueger, who had been secretly following them for several days, was filled with anticipation at the thought of meeting Blackie.
nBut,
n“Stop! Hand over everything you have!”
nAs expected, Uren’s misfortune didn’t disappoint. A robber appeared and blocked their path.
nPiyo!
nUren-nim, this is really getting tiresome!
n“Hehehe. Sorry.”
nPiyo! Piyo!
nForget it! Let’s deal with them quickly!
n“Okay!”
nPiyot flew swiftly toward the robbers, with Uren following closely behind.
nAh. Can we just get going already!
nKrueger, also annoyed, moved the ground slightly to catch the robber’s foot, assisting in the battle.
nAlthough he didn’t want to help, he had no choice but to intervene to avoid further delays.
nA little while later,
nPiyihihi. Piyo!
nStamp here!
nPiyot smiled and received the robbers’ stamps after subduing them.
nFollowing Theo’s example, no matter how long it took, he always made sure to turn anyone who attacked him into a slave.
nThanks to this, Sejun’s stats continued to rise even when Theo was resting, due to his title: Slave King.
nAs they finished getting all the stamps and were about to move again,
nRumble.
nA massive number of Destruction Devourers approached.
nAnd then,
nKihihit. Kking!
nHehe. The great Blackie is here!
nBlackie barked arrogantly from atop the Destruction Devourers.
nPiyo?
n“What’s this?”
nPiyot and Uren were puzzled as they watched Blackie and the Destruction Devourers.
nKiki!
nKiki!
nThe Destruction Devourers surrounded Krueger, who had been in disguise.
nSensing the aura of destruction emanating from Krueger’s fragment, they had come rushing.
nBurp!
nBurp!
nNearly two million Destruction Devourers began to absorb Krueger’s aura.
nRumble.
nKrueger had no choice but to reveal himself.
nKking?!
nKrueger?!
nBlackie barked upon recognizing Krueger.
n-Fenrir-nim! This is bad! Other Apostles of Destruction are…
nKrueger, seeing Blackie, hurriedly tried to convey that other Apostles of Destruction were targeting him.
nKking!
nHey! Quickly take out your core!
nBlackie shouted at Krueger.
n-Yes!
nCrunch.
nWithout a moment’s hesitation, Krueger’s fragment put his hand into his chest and removed the core at Blackie’s command.
nKking!
nThrow it over there!
n-Yes!
nTrue to his loyalty as a subordinate of Fenrir, Krueger threw his core to the Destruction Devourers, causing his rocky body to collapse as his power faded.
nPiyo? Piyo!
nHuh?! The Apostle of Destruction has fallen on his own!
nPiyot, who had been watching while recovering his strength to fight Krueger, exclaimed.
n“Hehe. We got lucky this time.”
n104.28.193.250
nPiyo! Piyo!
nUren-nim, don’t say things like that! It’s irritating!
n“Ah. Sorry…”
nAs Piyot and Uren were feeling relieved looking at Krueger who had suddenly collapsed on his own,
nKking!
nBlackie went into the cracks of the fallen rock that was Krueger’s body and came out carrying something on his back.
n-To be carried on Fenrir-nim’s back… it’s truly an honor!
nKrueger, now the size of a thumb due to his lost power, spoke in a voice full of emotion.
nKking!
nKrueger, from now on, call me the great Blackie-nim!
n-Yes! Great Blackie-nim!
nThus, Krueger joined the 99th floor of the Black Tower.
nNot knowing that he would soon receive a new name from Sejun.
nA little while later,
n“Nice to meet you. You don’t have a name? How about Eomdol then?”
nSince you’re the size of a thumb, let’s call you Eomdol. (TL: Sejun’s bad naming sense strikes again. Basically, it’s a combination of thumb and stone, so the literal translation would be Thumb Stone. )
nHow dare you call Krueger, the 7th seat of the Apostles of Destruction and the Destroyer of Mountains, Eomdol?!
n‘Should I kill him?’
nCan I kill this guy?
nKrueger sought permission from Blackie with his eyes.
nAnd then,
nKking?! Kking!
nEomdol, bow your head!
n-Yes!
nWhen Sejun wasn’t around, Eomdol, who was dragged away by Blackie, received a severe scolding.
