nTL: Hanguk

nBlack Tower, 99th floor.

n“Alright.”

nAs Sejun woke up and opened his eyes,

nThe seal of the Earth’s Jewel has been broken.

nFossil, the God of Fossils, who was sealed in the Earth’s Jewel, is released from the seal. (TL: Like in the previous cases, the name ‘Fossil’ is in English and ‘God of Fossils’ is in Korean.)

nFossil, the God of Fossils, repays the favor to the one who released his seal.

nFossil, the God of Fossils, buries a fossil he cherished in a 3.3 square meters area of land to repay his benefactor.

nMessages appeared.

n“A fossil?”

nIt obviously won’t be a gem, and it’s not something to eat either.

nHe didn’t expect much at all.

n‘But I still have to check.’

n“Meow…”

nKking…

nSejun got up, taking Theo and Blackie. For reference, Eomdol was sleeping, clinging to Blackie’s fur.

nSwish.

nMarking the date on the wall, Sejun started the 421st day morning.

n“So, where might the fossil be?”

nSejun went outside and wandered around the farm to find where the fossil was buried, but

n“I can’t see it…”

nThe fossil was buried in the ground, so there was no sign of it from the outside. But he couldn’t dig up all the land where crops were planted just to find the fossil.

n“Ugh. Why did you bury it in the ground, making it hard to find?”

nFossil-nim gets 0 square meters.

nThus, the first god who repaid the favor but didn’t receive a temple was born.

nA little later,

nKueng!

nDad, good morning!

nGurgle.

nCuengi gave a morning greeting along with a loud stomach growl, and

n“Wait a moment.”

nSejun hurriedly prepared breakfast.

n104.28.193.250

n“Alright. Let’s eat.”

nToday he simplified the menu with grilled fish.

n“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, is it a grilled fish party today?”

nThanks to this, Theo was even more excited than usual, seeing the pile of grilled fish in front of him.

nAnd then,

n“Meow?! Why isn’t Eomdol eating grilled fish, meow?!”

nTheo asked Eomdol, who was standing idly next to Blackie.

n“Me? I usually don’t eat.”

nEomdol, whose body was made of rock, didn’t need to eat. He could just absorb things around him to grow when he wanted to.

nHowever,

n“Meow! What nonsense you are saying when you have a mouth, meow?! Join the grilled fish party quickly, meow!”

nTheo, who didn’t like that Eomdol wasn’t participating in the grilled fish party, forcibly put a small piece of grilled fish into Eomdol’s mouth.

n“Huh?!”

nEomdol tried to refuse, but Theo’s front paws were incredibly fast, and

n…!

nEomdol was surprised when grilled fish suddenly entered his mouth.

n“Puhuhut. Eomdol, how is it, meow?!”

n“It’s… delicious?”

nWhy is it delicious? No, before that, why can I taste it?

nEomdol answered in a voice filled with both joy and confusion.

nUnbeknownst to Eomdol, Blackie had created a new core for him with the power of creation, replacing his lost core.

nAnd that gave Eomdol the ability to taste.

n“Puhuhut. Of course, meow! It’s delicious because it’s grilled fish made with Chairman Park’s sincerity, meow! Eat more, meow!”

nFeeling proud to have introduced Eomdol to the delicious taste of grilled fish, Theo placed a whole grilled fish in front of him.

nKihihit. Kking!

nHehe. Eomdol, eat this too!

nBlackie also sneakily passed Eomdol the parts he found annoying to eat.

nSo, everyone enjoyed their grilled fish,

n“Chairman Park, I, Vice Chairman Theo, am going to work, meow!”

nKueng!

nDad, Cuengi is also going to work too!

nTheo and Cuengi each set off to their respective workplaces.

nKihihit. Kking! Kking!

nHehe. Hey! I’m going to work too! Eomdol, let’s go!

n“Yes!”

nAlthough they were just going to play with the Destruction Devourers nearby, Blackie also claimed he was going to work, dragging Eomdol along.

n“Alright. Have a good day at work.”

nSejun responded to Blackie’s words and began planting the Destruction Devourer seeds.

n***

n1st floor of the Green Tower.

n“Puhuhut. Neta Tribes, I have arrived, meow!”

nTheo, having arrived at the Green Tower, announced his arrival.

n“Let’s start the auction, meow!”

nI’ll sell quickly and return to Chairman Park, meow!

nTo leave early, Theo immediately began auctioning off the crops he brought.

nAnd then,

n“All sold out, meow!”

nOnce again, Theo the sellout king easily sold out all the crops.

nPuhuhut. As expected, I, Vice Chairman Theo, am excellent, meow!

nAs Theo was feeling proud, putting his front paws on his waist,

n“Theo~nim.”

n“Meow?! Egel, why did you call me, meow?”

nEgel, the Saintess of Destruction and boss of the 97th floor of the Green Tower, approached Theo.

n“I think I’ll have to return to the 97th floor of the tower soon.”

n“Meow?! What’s the matter, meow?!”

nUpdatd from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

nCould she be running away, meow?!

nTheo looked at Egel with a fierce expression.

n“Actually…”

nEgel began to explain the reason.

nFortunately, it wasn’t about running away. Recently, a force that had come up from the 93rd floor of the tower was encroaching on Egel’s territory, so she was planning to go to war.

nIn the past, Egel would have opted to invade the 93rd floor of the tower herself, but recently the forces on the 93rd floor had grown too strong.

n“Puhuhut. Egel, don’t worry, meow! I, Vice Chairman Theo will solve it, meow!”

nTheo hurriedly shouted after hearing Egel’s story.

nNot because he wanted to solve an employee’s problem as Vice Chairman, but

nMeow! I remembered, meow!

nHe recalled what the Immortal Clan members had said about the real power on the 93rd floor of the tower.

nHe couldn’t miss the opportunity to acquire a large number of slaves.

nMoreover,

n“Puhuhut. This time, it’s going to be a teamwork between Chairman Park and me, Vice Chairman Theo, meow!”

nTheo was excited at the thought of going to the 93rd floor with Sejun to make many slaves.

n“Quickly get the land deed for the 93rd floor of the tower, meow!”

nHe sent out members of the Immortal Clan to get the land deed for the 93rd floor of the Green Tower.

nAs Theo was about to leave after arranging for the land deed,

n“Theo~nim, I know a merchant who has many land deeds. Should I call him? He’s on the 35th floor of the tower, so he should be here soon.”

nAgni asked Theo.

n“Puhuhut. Call him, meow!”

nThe more land deeds, the better, meow!

nTheo postponed his return home at the words that the merchant would arrive soon.

nThree hours later.

nThe merchant Agni had called still hadn’t arrived.

nThanks to this, Theo’s return time was greatly delayed.

n“Meowng…”

nIt’s taking too long, meow!

nIt was long past the time to return to Sejun’s lap, so he became very irritated.

nAt that moment,

n“Ah. Agni~nim, why call me to such a shabby shop?”

nA turtle grumbled as it slowly walked over.

n‘Meow! Did he just call the Great Chairman Park’s shop shabby, meow?!’

nAlready annoyed by the waiting, Theo was furious that the turtle insulted the shop he had diligently maintained so that the Great Chairman Park wouldn’t be insulted.

nThunk.

nTheo, enraged, jumped off the roof and landed in front of the turtle with a superhero landing pose.

n“What is this?! How dare you block the path of the legendary merchant, Golden Land Turtle Turbo?!”

nTurbo shouted angrily at Theo, who suddenly blocked his way.

n“You’re the one who dared to call the great Chairman Park’s shop shabby, meow! I’ll teach you a lesson, meow!”

nSnap.

nAs Theo shouted while extending his dragon claws,

n“Hmph! You can’t even scratch my shell with those thin claws!”

nMy shell is the strongest shield and weapon!

nNot knowing that Theo’s claws were dragon claws, Turbo confidently removed his shell and wore it like a shield, then charged at Theo.

nAnd then,

n“Puhuhut. Sign it, meow!”

n“Yes! I’ll sign!”

nSeeing his shell torn like a piece of paper by Theo’s dragon claws, Turbo hurriedly stamped the slave contract.

n***

nSeed Shop Headquarters.

n“Sniff, sniff. It’s really a precious fossil… Why…”

n“Fossil, just wait a little longer. It’s because Park Sejun hasn’t discovered the fossil yet.”

n“Sniff. When Park Sejun eventually finds my fossil, he will build a temple for me, right?”

n“Of course, even Perl…”

nLeah comforted Fossil, who had not received a temple from Sejun.

n“Leah~nim, thank you. I feel a bit better now.”

n“Alright. Now go hang out with others.”

n“Yes!”

nAs Fossil went to join the other gods,

n“I should pay back some of the divine power today.”

nLeah, having excess divine power for the first time, left the Seed Shop Headquarters and went to find Hel, the god of merchants.

nSlide.

nOpening the door to Hel’s building,

n“Turbo, no! Run away! Theo is a scoundrel!”

nShe saw Hel screaming.

nAnd then,

n“No! Even you, Turbo, have fallen into Theo’s evil clutches…”

nSomething seemed to have gone wrong, as Hel grabbed her head in despair.

nI should come back later.

nLeah quietly closed the door and left.

nAfter Leah had left,

n“This won’t do. I need to warn the remaining legendary merchants about Theo.”

nAs Hel decided to issue a Theo alert to the legendary merchants of the tower,

nBang!

n“Hel! Give me back my divine relic!”

nA giant man burst through the door opposite the one Leah used and shouted loudly.

nIt was Thunder, the god of storms, who had pawned his divine relic, the Thunderbolt Staff, at Hel’s pawnshop.

nCuengi Park has blocked conversations for 3 days.

nThunder had been blocked for the third time after telling Cuengi to stop being an herbalist.

nHmph. A true warrior’s blood boils at the sight of an excellent weapon.

nHe planned to show his greatest divine relic, the Thunderbolt Staff, to awaken the warrior’s blood flowing in Cuengi once the block was lifted in three days.

nOf course, it was a completely futile effort. Even with the Thunderbolt Staff, Cuengi had no intention of becoming a warrior.

n“The Thunderbolt Staff? I don’t have it.”

n“What?! Then where is it?!”

n“I sold it.”

nHel couldn’t bring herself to admit that it had been taken away due to her pride.

n“Why did you sell my divine relic without permission?!”

n“You should have repaid your divine power debt on time. Tell the other war gods that if they don’t repay their divine power debts, I’ll sell all their divine relics too.”

nHel showed a very cold attitude, unlike when she was dealing with Theo. As expected, she wasn’t the God of Merchants for nothing.

n“Damn it!”

nBang!

nAfter Thunder slammed the door and left,

n“Legendary merchants, if you encounter a yellow cat, run away immediately no matter what!”

nHel sent a warning to the legendary merchants who had not yet become Theo’s slaves.

n***

n99th floor of the Black Tower.

nYou have harvested the Exploding Stamina Corn.

n…

n..

n.

nSejun, who had spent the morning planting Destruction Devourer seeds, harvested corn in the afternoon.

nAnd then,

nKihihit. Kking!

nHeehee. Guys, follow me!

n“Yes! Follow the great Blackie!”

nKiki!

nKiki!

nBlackie, leading Eomdol and the Destruction Devourers, was engrossed in playing leader.

nAt that moment,

nSniff sniff.

nThere’s something here!

nBlackie’s nose caught a suspicious scent.

n‘It’s something good!’

nSwish swish swish.

nReacting to the pleasant smell, Blackie’s tail wagged vigorously.

nKking!

nIt’s here!

nThwack thwack thwack.

nBlackie began digging into the ground with his front paws.

nA moment later.

n“Hey! Who said you could dig holes in the field!”

nSejun ran over to scold Blackie, who was digging a hole in the middle of the sweet potato field.

nHowever,

nKihihit. Kking! Kking!

nHeehee. Haa! Look at this! I found it!

nUnlike usual, Blackie barked proudly instead of running away.

n“What is it?”

nWhen Sejun looked down at the hole Blackie had dug,

nOh?!

n“Ah, this must be the fossil!”

nHe saw shining yellow gemstones. They were amber.

nAnd,

nAmber containing a Plum Seed

nOne of the many amber pieces caught Sejun’s eye.

nAmber containing a Plum Seed

n→ This amber was formed by the solidification of sap with a plum seed inside it.

n→ The preservation state is good, so the plum seed can germinate if planted.

n→ Grade: C.

n“Oh.”

nIt’s plum.

n“Fossil~nim, I’ll give you 16.5 square meters.”

nSejun decided to make a 16.5 square meters Fossil Road for Fossil.

nAfter gathering the amber and covering the ground again,

nKihihit. Kking?

nHeehee. I did well, didn’t I? Don’t I get anything?

nBlackie looked at Sejun with eyes full of expectation.

n“Yes, you did well. Here.”

nSejun gave him some dried sweet potato slices.

nMunch. Munch. Munch.

nBlackie ate them happily.

nAt that moment,

n“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I have returned, meow!”

nNow it’s time for teamwork, meow!

nTheo, who had taken the land deeds from Turbo, the Golden Land Turtle of the Green Tower, returned.
