nTL: Hanguk

nThud.

nWhen Iona used magic, the ground started to shake. Then the cave slowly began to sink.

nAfter a while,

nYou have completed the Mid-level Administrator Quest.

nYou have gained 3 million experience points as a reward for completing the Mid-level Administrator Quest. .𝒎

nYou have earned 50,000 Tower Coins as a reward for completing the Mid-level Administrator Quest.

nHe received the original quest rewards as the quest completion message appeared. The locusts were all wiped out at once by Iona’s mini black hole magic.

nYou have fulfilled your duty as an Mid-level Administrator.

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

nA message appeared announcing his return to the 99th floor of the tower now that the mission was over.

n“Iona, I’m going first.”

nSejun hastily bid farewell to Iona.

n“Huh?”

nUnfortunately, Iona, who had not been designated as a subordinate, couldn’t come with him.

nSqueak!

nKreong!

nPi Ppi…

nThe animals waved their hands to bid farewell to Iona. The greetings from the black rabbit and Cuengi were cheerful, while ChuChu was sad to part with her master.

nThen,

n“Puhuhuhut. Iona, take care. President Park’s lap is now mine!”

nTheo, who got to monopolize Sejun’s lap, disappeared, making a taunting comment to Iona.

n“Kyoo-Kyoo-Kyoo-Kyoo-My sweet nap!!!”

nIona, now deprived of her sleep place, entered the 4th stage of her anger.

nKyooooooo!

nThe black hole grew larger in response to Iona’s anger. Only after she erased the entire Navia Swamp did Iona, who had come to her senses, moved quickly.

n***

nThe Administrator’s Area of the Tower.

nThe population of Yellow Locusts on the 67th floor of the tower has exceeded 3 billion.

nThe population of Yellow Locusts on the 67th floor of the tower has met the evolution conditions.

n…

n..

n.

nThe population of Blue Locusts on the 67th floor of the tower has exceeded 5 billion.

n…

n..

n.

nRed Locusts on the 67th floor of the tower are evolving into Purple Locusts.

n“What?!”

nAileen was taken aback as the dwindling number of locusts suddenly increased rapidly.

n“Did something happen to our Sejun?!”

nShe was worried, although she had given him powerful power to protect him, as he was still relatively weak.

nJust when Aileen’s anxiety level was skyrocketing,

nMid-level Administrator Park Sejun has completed his quest.

nReturning to the 99th floor of the tower.

n“Hehehe. Trying to get a higher reward, huh? Indeed a remarkable human! I knew you could do it!”

nAileen hurriedly searched for Sejun through the crystal orb. She had missed him terribly after not seeing him for several days.

n*** .

nYou have arrived at the 99th floor of the Tower.

nSejun finished his mission on the 67th floor and returned to his home on the 99th floor of the Tower.

nKreong!

nAs soon as they arrived, Cuengi rushed to his mother.

nSqueak!

nPi Ppi.

nThe rabbits also went to see the other rabbits.

n“Maybe I should check the farm too.”

n“You’re going to work again, meow? Rest for a while, meow!”

nTheo, who was now comfortably resting on Sejun’s lap, was irritated when Sejun said he was going out to work again.

n“It’ll be over soon.”

nSejun, who had now fully become a farmer, only wanted to quickly check if there was anything wrong with the farm while he was absent.

nThen,

nThe Tower’s administrator says you’ve worked very hard.

n“Yep. And thanks for the power. I was able to save my life thanks to you, Aileen.”

n…The Tower’s administrator says that there’s no need to thank her as she…she was worried and gave it to you because you were weak.

nAileen, flustered by the compliment, uttered something she didn’t mean.

n“But, when I thought that I might die, I really missed Aileen.”

nTo be precise, he wanted to see her at least once before he died, but the atmosphere got strange because of the weird way Sejun was speaking.

n……

n“Aileen?”

nUpon hearing Sejun’s words, the flustered Aileen hid herself.

nAnd then,

n– Sejun, I admit, you’ve done well.

nThe black dragon statue on the fountain nodded its head.

n***

nSejun, having finished his conversation with Aileen, surveyed the farm.

n“They’re doing well as expected.”

nTomato fields, sweet potato fields, carrot fields, and other fields on the ground were well managed by the white rabbits, who were specialists in farming.

nThe harvest was done properly, and new fields were made, making the size of the farm quite large.

nWhen Sejun arrived at the end of the field, he saw black soil.

n“It’s almost finished here too.”

nBefore he knew it, the Black Minotaurs had turned over the soil, and about 90% of the wasteland had turned into fertile black soil. It seemed like anything could grow well on this soil.

nAfter examining the fields above ground, Sejun went down into the cave.

n“Flamie, have you been well?”

nYes! Master! I’m so glad to see you!

nAs soon as Sejun arrived, Flamie flapped its leaves excitedly and greeted Sejun.

n“Huh?! The number of Ents has increased?”

nSejun asked, noticing the ten Ents that had grown up to his chest.

nYes! The Ents are continuously producing seeds in the western forest and planting them!

n“Is that so? I should go take a look.”

nAs Sejun said this and stroked Flamie’s leaves,

nFarmer’s Touch Lv. 2 has been activated.

nWhile your hand is in contact, the growth of the apple tree is slightly accelerated.

nThe skill was activated, promoting the growth of Flamie.

nHehehe. Master! I’m growing!

n“Is that so.”

nExternally, it didn’t look like there was much difference, but Sejun had no intention of spoiling Flamie’s good mood with unnecessary words.

nAfter chatting with Flamie, Sejun went to bed.

nAnd then,

n“Meow meow meow.”

nTheo, excited by the joy of monopolizing Sejun’s knee after a long time, sang a cheerful humming song. He was so happy that he couldn’t sleep.

nThen,

n(Theo, brother! Are you here?)

n“Meeeoow!”

nTheo was startled by the greeting of the golden bat that had been hiding in the corner of the room.

n(Sorry if I startled you.)

nThe golden bat quickly apologized.

nHowever,

n“Meow? What are you talking about, meow? I wasn’t startled, meow! Have you been well, golden bat?”

nTheo, who couldn’t show a weak side to his youngest brother, asked how he was as if nothing had happened.

n(Yes. But brother, I have a concern.)

n“What’s up, meow? I’ll give you some advice, meow!”

nTheo’s breath quickened with the anticipation of being able to act as a big brother.

n(What should I bring back from outside the tower that Sejun would like?)

nThe golden bat, who would soon be going out of the tower again, was wondering what to bring back that Sejun would like.

n“That’s too easy, meow!”

nFortunately, the golden bat’s problem was Theo’s specialty.

n(Is it easy?)

n“Just bring whatever your front paws are attracted to, meow! Every time I brought something that attracted me, I received a lot of compliments from Sejun, meow!”

n(Oh! I’m jealous, brother! But how do I know what my paws are attracted to?)

n“You just know, meow!”

nIt was a completely unhelpful piece of advice.

n***

nBam!

nIona entered the Chairman’s office of the Wandering Merchant Association by forcefully opening the door with wind magic.

n“Kyoo-Kyoo-Kyoo- Chairman Mason! I accuse Tariq, the leader of the Chow Group and the elite wandering merchant, of his crimes!”

n“Tariq?”

n‘What did he do this time?’

nMason thought that Tariq must have made a big mistake, seeing Iona in 3rd stage of her anger.

n“Iona, why don’t we have a tea first and then talk?”

n“No, I have a busy day today. Here’s the evidence.”

nIona, who needed to move quickly to the 99th floor of the tower to get a good night’s sleep, declined Mason’s suggestion and handed him a necklace.

n“What’s this?”

n“It’s a necklace with a video recording spell on it.”

n“Ah. Then I’ll watch the video and decide on Tariq’s punishment.”

n“I already did that.”

n“What?”

n“I already punished Tariq. To death.”

n“What?!!!”

nMason was surprised at Iona’s answer. Tariq was a subordinate of Landlord Grid, the leader of the boar tribe. Mason was unable to do anything about Tariq because of Grid, who threatened him with food as a weapon.

n“Iona! Even if Tariq committed a big mistake, how could you ignore the Wandering Merchant Association and kill a wandering merchant?!!”

nMason was furious. The situation was already beyond repair.

n“Tariq fed the red locusts on the 67th floor of the tower, increasing their numbers. That’s a threat to the safety of the tower. As the Chairman of the Wizard’s Association, I have the authority to make an immediate judgment. Everything is stored in the necklace, so check it out.”

n“Is that true?”

nMason quickly started checking the video. The video showed Tariq giving several bribes and throwing away monster corpses. And even trying to get away by mentioning Landlord Grid

nIn the meantime, Iona quickly went up to the 99th floor of the tower.

n‘With this, I can even involve Grid.’

nEverything always depends on the justification. And the justification for executing a being that tried to endanger the tower was just too perfect.

n‘If I do well, I can finish off Grid with this video.’

nThen a video that Iona had additionally stored at the end of the video came out.

n-Chairman Mason, confiscate the wealth of the Chow Group and use them to compensate for the expenses of the Wandering Merchant Association, the Freelance Mercenary Association, and the Wizard’s Association. And the remaining money will be entrusted to the intermediate wandering merchant Theo to be used for the reconstruction of the 67th floor of the tower.

n“Theo?”

nMason called his subordinate and ordered him to bring information about Theo.

n***

n“Alright.”

nSejun woke up from his sleep.

nAnd then

nZzzz.

nZzzz.

n“Hmm? Iona?”

nSejun hurriedly looked at his knee at the sound of Iona’s snoring.

nAnd then

n“When did she get up here?”

nIona was visible, covered with Theo’s tail on his knee.

nIona, who quickly traveled through the light-speed merchant route as soon as Sejun left, was fortunately able to finish her work and arrived an hour ago, was able to have a quick nap on Sejun’s knee, using Theo’s tail as blanket.

nJust then,

nFlap. Flap.

nThe golden bat appeared in front of Sejun.

n(Sejun! What do you think about this? It has a good grip, so I was attracted to it!)

nThe golden bat, who took Theo’s advice, handed Sejun the item it brought.

n“Is this a wireless microphone? Don’t tell me you went outside the tower?”

n(Yes! This time I brought something that attracted me, as per Big Brother Theo’s advice!)

nThe golden bat looked at Sejun with hopeful eyes.

n‘Am I also going to be praised?’

nIt was because Theo had boasted about bringing something attractive and getting affection from Sejun, which was why.

nHowever,

n“Golden bat, that only works for Theo.”

nTheo was gifted.

n(Oh…)

nThe golden bat was disappointed by Sejun’s words.

n“It’s okay. At least now I know that you appear in the karaoke room with this wireless microphone. Let’s start by learning letters first.”

nSejun was planning to teach the golden bat the letters so it could bring back information that could identify the places it appeared.

n(Yes! I will learn diligently!)

n“Now, this is ‘Giyeok’.”

nSwoosh.

nSejun picked up a twig and drew a ‘?’ on the ground.

nSwoosh.

n(‘Giyeok.’)

nThe golden bat also picked up a twig and copied the letter Sejun wrote and read it out.

nOn the 264th day of being stranded, Sejun began teaching Hangul1 to the golden bat.

n***

nAt a coin karaoke in Seoul.

n“Black limo…Huh?!”

nSuddenly, the microphone disappeared from the hand of the man who was singing passionately.

nA moment later,

n“There’s nothing to steal here, so you stole a microphone! Compensate quickly! Or I’m going to report it to the police!”

n“No, I really didn’t steal it! Check the CCTV!”

nIn response to the bar owner’s accusation, the man insisted on checking the CCTV in his defense.

nAnd then,

n“Huh?!”

n“See?! I told you I didn’t steal it!”

nIn the CCTV footage, the microphone suddenly disappeared from the man’s hand.

nAnd when they rewound the footage slowly, they could see something golden moving fast, taking the microphone from the man’s hand.

n“Let’s send this to ‘There’s Such a Thing in the World’.”

n“Should we?”

nBy coincidence, both were avid viewers of ‘There’s Such a Thing in the World’.
