nTL: Hanguk

n“Theo!

nSejun instinctively ran to protect Theo from the collapsing pile of junk. 𝘪𝑎.𝘤𝑜𝑚

nHowever,

n“…meow?!”

n“…huh?!”

nTheo and Sejun’s gazes crossed.

nTheo was quickly getting out of the falling pile of junk, passing Sejun who was rushing towards him. Come to think of it, Theo’s speed was incredibly fast.

n‘Who was worried about who!’

nSejun, the weakest one on the 99th floor of the tower, smiled sadly as he looked at Theo.

n“President Park!”

nTheo hurriedly stopped and called Sejun, but

nwhoosh.

nThe pile of junk began to engulf Sejun.

nJust then,

n“Mr. Sejun!”

n“Mr. Sejun!”

nElka and Hegel jumped into the pile of junk and protected Sejun with their large bodies.

nThud.

nAt the same time, a giant gray rock of about 3 meters in size, hit the wolves’ bodies and fell to the ground. It seemed like something that Cuengi had brought.

nSejun would have been in trouble if it weren’t for the wolves.

n“Whew. Elka, Hegel, thanks.”

nSejun expressed his gratitude to the two giant wolves.

n“No, it’s an honor to be able to protect the Great Black Dragon!”

n“I feel the same!”

nThe wolves wagged their tails, pleased with Sejun’s praise.

n“President Park! Were you trying to save me just now, meow?”

nTheo, moved by Sejun’s attempt to save him, ran over and examined Sejun’s body.

n“Are you okay, meow? Are you hurt anywhere, meow?!”

nEspecially focusing on his knees.

n“I’m okay. But what were you trying to pull out?”

n“This right here, meow!”

nTheo pointed at the giant rock and exclaimed.

n“This rock?!”

n“Yes, meow! I felt an incredible attraction I’ve never felt before in my life, meow!!”

n“Really?!”

nSejun, who knew Theo’s golden front paw better than anyone, quickly got up and examined the rock. On the surface, it was just an ordinary rock. Nothing special.

nFragment of ???

n??

n“Oh!”

nThis was different from the items so far. Even the name was a question mark.

n“Iona, can you use some appraisal magic?”

n“Yes.”

n“Hurry up and do it, meow! This is my victory, meow!”

n“Tweet, tweet, tweet. You think you can beat me with such a rock?”

nIona scoffed at Theo and used appraisal magic on the rock.

nHowever,

nFragment of ???

n???

n“Huh?!”

nEven Iona’s appraisal magic didn’t reveal any information about the item.

n“Kyoo-!”

nIona, enraged that her magic did not work, angrily pulled out the Staff of Disaster from her back.

nAnd,

n“Eye of Truth!”

nShe used the highest-tier appraisal magic.

nFlash.

nA bright light from Iona’s staff seeped into the gray rock.

nFragment of ???

nThe ninth fragment of ???.

nDivine power flows from it.

nGrade: ???

nThis time there was a small change, but a change nonetheless.

n“I’m sorry I couldn’t be of more help, Mr. Sejun. This is my limit.”

nIona said, looking disappointed.

n“That’s okay.”

n“At least it doesn’t seem like a cursed item since it’s emanating divine power.”

nThe fact that Iona couldn’t identify the item through her abilities meant that this item was of an incredibly high grade. Sejun decided to be content with the fact that it had no curse for now.

nI’ll have to ask Aileen to appraise it later.’

nSejun decided to take the rock to the 99th floor of the tower later for examination. Aileen, who was short on magic, couldn’t see or send messages to anywhere outside the 99th floor with her crystal orb.

n“Uh…Representative Theo, I’ve lost.”

nIona admitted her defeat to Theo. The fact that the item’s information wasn’t fully revealed even with the use of the Eye of Truth was evidence that the rock was at least a legendary-grade item.

n“Puhuhuhut. Iona, don’t be too sad, meow! It’s only natural that you can’t beat me, meow! Now, stamp it, meow!”

nTheo proudly pulled out a contract, with a triumphant look.

n“Stamp?”

n“That’s right, meow! The loser must listen to the winner’s request, meow!”

n‘Theo, nice!’

nFrom behind, Sejun quietly gave a thumbs-up, cheering for Theo.

nA moment later,

n“President Park, here’s the contract, meow!”

nTheo handed Sejun a contract stamped with a cute hamster footprint, then confidently climbed onto Sejun’s lap, and lay down showing his belly.

n“···What are you doing, meow? Pet me, meow!”

nWhen Sejun stayed still, Theo placed Sejun’s hand on his belly and spoke.

n“Alright.”

nAs he had contributed, he decided to give a reward.

nPat, pat.

n“Meow meow meow. I’m happy, meow…”

nJust as Theo was about to fall asleep with Sejun’s petting,

nSqueak!

nKroung!

nThe black rabbit and Cuengi brought up new treasures.

n“Theo, are you drawn to anything else?”

nSejun quietly asked with anticipation.

n“Meow…”

nTheo, lying down with his eyes closed, stretched out his forepaws and activated his detector.

nBut,

n“There’s nothing attracting me. They’re all useless.”

nTheo swung his forepaw as he spoke.

nThud.

nSqueak!…

nKroung…

nOur treasures are useless?! The black rabbit and Cuengi were shocked at Theo’s words.

nKroung!

n“Meow?!”

nCuengi grabbed Theo’s scruff and took him to their treasures.

nAnd,

nSqueak!!

nKroung!

nYou think this is useless? Listen carefully! The black rabbit and Cuengi began to explain their treasures in detail, sitting Theo between them.

n***

n“Uh…it’s hot.”

nSejun, who had dozed off while watching Theo being lectured by the black rabbit and Cuengi, had to wake up due to the stifling heat.

nBefore he knew it, Cuengi was behind Sejun, and Theo and the black rabbit were sleeping on his lap.

nSnore.

nSnore.

nZzzzz…zzzz…

n“Huh?”

nAt first, he thought he had misheard Cuengi’s snoring.

nBut,

nSnore.

nSnore.

nZzzzz.

nZzzzz.

nThere were four snoring sounds. When Sejun looked towards the sound, he found Iona sleeping there, using Theo’s tail as a blanket. Now, even the Chairman of the Wizard’s Association was entranced by Sejun’s lap.

nAs expected, Sejun’s lap was popular with the animals.

n‘Do I have to sleep again?’

nSejun was about to close his eyes and try to sleep again, not wanting to disturb the soundly sleeping animals, when

n“Excuse me…”

nSomeone called Sejun.

n“Huh? When did you guys get here?”

nIt was the interns who had returned home with Theo’s permission.

n“There’s nothing to do right now, so rest a bit.”

n“Yes. But there’s something we need to discuss…”

nIntern Bill hesitated to speak.

n“What is it?”

n“Just a moment. Guys, come out!”

nUpon Bill’s shout

nWhoosh.

n30 cats, which had been waiting at a distance, ran over.

n“Hello! We’ll work hard in exchange for grilled fish!”

n“Grilled fish?”

nThe cats from the Granier village, suffering from food shortages, followed the interns to find Sejun, hoping to earn grilled fish.

nThen

nThe cause for the extinction of the blue carp in the Zenka Lake on the 75th floor of the tower has been found.

nA second mid-level administrator quest has begun.

nSecond Mid-level Administrator Quest: Prevent the cats of Granier village from hunting blue carp fish for a year.

nRewards: 15,000 XP, 1500 tower coins

nFailure: Until the quest is completed, you cannot return to your original place.

nA new quest appeared.

n“Theo, wake up.”

nSejun woke up the sleeping Theo.

n“What is it, meow?”

n“I need you to get the contracts stamped.”

nSejun hired the cats for a year as guards to prevent them from hunting blue carp fish in Lake Zenka, in exchange for three grilled fish per day as a wage.

nAnd then

nYou have completed the second mid-level administrator quest.

nYou received 15,000 XP as a reward for completing the second mid-level administrator quest.

nYou received 1500 tower coins as a reward for completing the second mid-level administrator quest.

nThe second quest was completed.

n***

nOn the 249th day of being stranded. Three days have passed since the hunting of Progs.

nProgs 2243

/2291

n“Where are the rest hiding?”

nSejun said, checking the remaining number of Progs.

nOnly 48 Progs were left, but he couldn’t find where they were hiding. A large-scale search had been launched since yesterday to find the remaining 48 Progs, but it had been fruitless.

nHowever, there was another discovery. While searching for treasure, the Black Rabbit and Cuengi found a hiding place for blue carp fish, avoided by the Progs. There were ten blue fish left in the hiding place.

nFor the time being, Sejun had the cats, hired as guards, take turns guarding the vicinity of the hiding place of the blue carp fish to prevent their extinction.

nWhile continuing the search for Progs, Cuengi lifted a broad stone about 10m in size from the bottom of the lake.

nSejun had instructed Cuengi to bring up any suspicious rocks as there might be other fragments on the lake bottom.

nThud.

nAs Cuengi lifted the broad stone,

n(Huh?)

nRibbit. Ribbit.

nCuengi’s eyes met those of the Progs hiding under the rock. The Progs had been hiding under the rock, which was why they had not been found.

nKwaang!

n(Ah!)

nCuengi put the stone down and called the wolves nearby.

n***

n“Line up, meow!”

nWhen mealtime came, Theo lined up the guards of Lake Zenka and distributed three grilled fish each.

nHaving heard that the food situation in the Granier village was currently poor, Sejun considered the families of the cats and decided to triple their wages for a while, providing nine grilled fish per day.

nAfter all, the 99th floor pond was teeming with piranhas. However, the grilled fish that Theo brought was not enough, so the interns went to the 99th floor with the wolves to get piranhas.

nWhile Sejun was sitting on the fragment of ??? and looking around,

n“I found them!”

nSplash!

nThe wolves bustled and jumped into Lake Zenka.

nAfter a moment,

nSplat.

nThe wolves came out of the lake with frogs in their mouths one by one and stood in front of Sejun.

nAnd then,

n“We found all 48 frogs.”

nHegel, representing the wolves, reported to Sejun.

n“Well done. Everyone gather around.”

nSejun called all the animals.

nThen when all the animals gathered, Sejun slaughtered the frogs.

nYou have completed the mid-level administrator quest.

nYou gained 15,000 experience points as a reward for completing the mid-level administrator quest.

nYou gained 1,500 tower coins as a reward for completing the mid-level administrator quest.

nYou have fulfilled your duty as a mid-level administrator.

nYou will return to the 99th floor in 30 seconds.

n“Cuengi, pick up the rock.” 𝘳𝑎.𝗇t

nKuong!

nAt Sejun’s command, Cuengi picked up the rock item with a flash.

n“You guys did a good job.”

nSejun quickly exchanged greetings with the animals as he was about to return.

n“Theo, take the interns and visit the 38th floor. Hegel, come to the 99th floor.”

n“Got it, meow! I’ll finish quickly and go, meow!”

n“I’ll also hurry and follow!”

n“Kyoot Kyoot. I’ll come and see you soon too.”

nWhen Iona spoke while looking at Sejun’s knee,

n“Iona, don’t come, meow!”

nTheo yelled, wary of the newly appeared competitor.

n“Kyoot-I don’t want to! It’s my heart’s decision!”

nSwoosh.

nWhile the two were fighting, Sejun, the black rabbit & Cuengi disappeared.

n***

nThe administrator area of the tower.

n“Kwaaaa! Why hasn’t that human come yet, even though it’s been three days?!”

nAileen, who couldn’t know the situation of the 75th floor, was very frustrated not being able to get news about Sejun.

n“Kkik. Did he get hurt somewhere?”

nShe was particularly worried about the weak Sejun getting hurt somewhere.

nJust when Aileen was worrying about Sejun,

nMid-level administrator Top Farmer Park Sejun has completed his mission.

nReturning to the 99th floor of the Tower.

n“Hehehe! The wonderful human is back!”

nAileen, now able to see Sejun again, was happy to see his return and looked at the 99th floor with the crystal orb.

n“Huh?! No! Another unidentified item! It’s dangerous! The human indeed can’t do without me! Hehehe.”

nSeeing the huge unidentified rock item that Cuengi had put down, Aileen smiled brightly. It was her time to shine.

n“Hehehe. I should show him the magnificent image of the great black dragon.”

nAileen, having seized the opportunity to show off, was about to speak to Sejun when the Black Dragon statue spoke first.
