Chapter 414: Daddy Cuengi has Solved the Case!
“Grow!”
When Ophelia scattered the mugwort seeds that Sejun sent her and used her skill, the seeds quickly took root and grew into mugwort.
And
[You have harvested Vibrant Magical Mugwort.][Your job experience has increased slightly.]
[Your proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 7 has increased slightly.]
[You have gained 70 experience points.]
[One Vibrant Magical Mugwort is offered to Park Sejun, the Tower Farmer of the Black Tower.]
…..
.
Ophelia diligently harvested mugwort to send to Sejun.
“Great. I’ve finished harvesting 20,000 mugwort! What should I do now?”
I don’t want to work anymore!
Ophelia said as she stretched her back after harvesting the mugwort.
“Ah right!”
They said Park Sejun’s shop opened on the first floor of our tower.
“Hehehe. I should go check it out.”
Ophelia moved to the administrator’s area of the Green Tower.
Kreuong.
“Grandma is sleeping.”
Ophelia carefully picked up the crystal orb and left the room, making sure not to disturb the sleeping Brachio.
And then
“Show me the first floor of the tower.”
Looking into the crystal orb, she searched for Sejun’s shop on the first floor of the Green Tower.
A moment later.
“Oh! Found it!”
Ophelia easily found Sejun’s shop, which was crowded with hunters.
“They’re selling Park Sejun’s crops at the shop.”
I want to eat Park Sejun’s crops too…
“Sluurp…”
Ophelia wiped away the drool that had unknowingly come out.
Due to her pride, Ophelia couldn’t directly ask Sejun for crops and only ate them when Brachio bought them from the Dragon Market.
“Should I go and eat too?”
Ophelia pondered for a moment.
“No, I can’t!”
Grandma told me not to wander around!
Ophelia shook her head, remembering Brachio’s warning.
But
“But I really want to eat it…”
Ophelia’s gaze soon fixed on the crops Sejun’s shop was selling, which the hunters were eating deliciously.
“The more I look at it, the harder it gets. But are these guys doing their job well?”
As she watched, her desire to eat grew, and she diverted her attention by looking for the bosses she had sent.
And then
“Those bastards!!!”
Ophelia burst out in anger upon seeing the bosses.
The boss of the 99th floor of the tower, Agni, was deliciously eating grilled corn while roasting crops.
The boss of the 98th floor of the tower, Cerberus, was lying down at the entrance, eating roasted sweet potatoes.
Even the boss of the 97th floor of the tower, Saintess of Destruction Egel, was eating cherry tomatoes while treating hunters at the infirmary.
Since Sejun Company provided three meals a day by default, the bosses were naturally given meals as well.
These guys are eating all by themselves!
“Ugh! I can’t stand it!”
I’m going to eat too!
Ophelia carefully glanced at Brachio.
Kreooong.
Good. She’s in a deep sleep!
“Move to the first floor of the Green Tower.”
Ophelia, confirming Brachio was deeply asleep, grabbed the crystal orb and spoke.
[Do you wish to move to the first floor of the Green Tower?]“Yes!”
[Moving to the first floor of the Green Tower.]And so, Ophelia moved to the first floor of the Green Tower.
What?! It’s Park Sejun’s subordinate, Theo.
Blocking the attack aimed at her, she greeted Theo.
“Meow! Nice to meet you, Chairman Park’s slave Ophelia, meow!”
Eek! Slave, really…
Though Theo’s words were annoying, she couldn’t refute because they were true.
Moreover,
Now’s not the time to worry about that!
Ophelia had a purpose for coming here.
“I want to eat that too!”
Hurriedly, Ophelia pointed to the crops being sold at the shop and spoke to Theo.
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!”
At Ophelia’s words, Theo obediently took out the crops from his bag and handed them over.
Since providing meals to Sejun Company’s employees was standard, Theo didn’t find it strange at all.
However,
“Is there anything I need to do in return?”
Ophelia, unaware of this, asked Theo if there was anything she could help with.
She didn’t want rumors spreading that the great green dragon didn’t pay for things.
“Then hurry and go, meow! I’m tired, meow!”
“Huh? I’m… sorry!”
Only then did Ophelia notice Theo’s exhausted face from absorbing her energy.
“Then I’ll be off!”
As Ophelia hurriedly left,
“Meow… I’m so tired, meow!”
The exhausted Theo trudged back to the Black Tower. I need to recharge on Chairman Park’s lap, meow!
***
99th Floor of the Black Tower.
“Mmm.”
Sejun carefully moved his body as he woke up. Fortunately, there was no pain.
“Did the bones get replaced properly?”
Sejun quickly checked his Power.
<Power: Sturdy Young Dragon’s Solid Bones>→ Level +10
→ All Stats +100
→ All Stat Potentials +1000
→ All stats increase by 1 every 10 days for 10,000 days.
→ Learning efficiency is increased.
→ Dragon bones enhance resistance to external energies.
→ Due to the high density of the solid bones, all stat potentials increase by an additional 1000, and the bones are less likely to break.
“Wow.”
This is insane!
Sejun couldn’t close his mouth upon seeing the options of his Power. This Power was truly amazing.
Thanks to it, his level rose to 98, earning him 10 bonus stats and increasing his Strength stat by 100.
All stat potentials increased by 1000+1000, a total of 2000.
Moreover, for almost 30 years, all his stats would increase by 1 every 10 days just by breathing.
That means all stats would increase by 1000.
Everything else was excellent as well.
“Aileen, thank you so much!”
Although it was thanks to Blackie that the power was enhanced, Sejun, not knowing this, thought it was all thanks to Aileen.
[The Tower’s Administrator says you did well.]
That’s strange. I definitely granted ‘Fragile Young Dragon’s Bones’…
Aileen found it odd that Sejun’s Power had been enhanced, but she thought it was better this way.
After conversing with Aileen,
“I’ll allocate all 10 bonus stats to Agility.”
Sejun raised his lowest stat, Agility, with his bonus stats.
“But Blackie is quite cheeky.”
He definitely saw me faint, yet he just left me there?
“Blackie!”
Sejun, still annoyed, called out for Blackie.
And then,
Kkirorong.
“As expected, here you are.”
He found Blackie sprawled out in a large ‘X’ shape in the storage room, with his belly bulging.
Apparently, he fell asleep while eating, as he had a half-eaten raw sweet potato in his mouth.
“Good grief. Really…”
He’s too small to even hit.
Sejun sighed and sat down next to Blackie, gently stroking his belly.
Then,
Burp.
Kkihihi.
Blackie burped loudly and grinned, holding Sejun’s hand with his short front legs and leaning his head on it.
“You’re smiling? Really?”
He let it slide because it was cute.
Sejun grumbled as he carefully picked Blackie up with both hands, placed him in the sling bag, and began cleaning the mess Blackie had made on the floor.
At that moment,
“Chairman Park, I’m back, meow!”
Theo, who had returned from the Green Tower, ran towards Sejun.
Splat.
As usual, starting with the face.
“Puhuhut.”
Theo stuck to Sejun’s face, rubbing his own face against Sejun’s head.
“Did you do well?”
Sejun asked Theo.
“Puhuhut. Yes, meow! And Ophelia visited the shop, meow!”
“Ophelia?!”
“Yes, meow!”
“If Ophelia appeared, it must’ve been chaos on the first floor of the tower.”
“Puhuhut. That’s why I, Vice Chairman Theo, stepped in and absorbed all of Ophelia’s energy, meow!”
“Huh? What if something goes wrong from absorbing all that? What if something serious happens?!”
“Meow? Puhuhut. Chairman Park, did you just worry about me, meow?”
“Huh?”
“Don’t worry, meow! Thanks to absorbing Ophelia’s energy, I’ve become much stronger, meow!”
Feeling happy about Sejun’s concern, Theo puffed out his chest and shouted in a proud voice.
Why did I even bother? Here I go worrying about others again.
“So, why did Ophelia come?”
“She asked for Chairman Park’s crops, meow!”
“Really? Then she should have asked me.”
Was it because of her pride?
“Then from now on, you should take care of her. Every time Ophelia shows up, Vice Chairman Theo will absorb her energy and get stronger.”
“Meow! That’s a great idea, meow! As expected, Chairman Park is a genius, meow!”
“Heh. Of course. And Vice Chairman Theo should consider it an honor to be the subordinate of genius Chairman Park.”
“Puhuhut. Of course, I, Vice Chairman Theo, am honored to be the subordinate of the genius Chairman Park, meow!”
What? How can he take a joke so seriously?
And why am I the one feeling embarrassed?
“Puhuhut. Meeting the genius Chairman Park is the best thing in my cat life, meow! I respect you, meow! Chairman Park is great, meow!”
Theo continued to praise Sejun without knowing how he felt.
Stop it.
Just as Sejun was about to cover Theo’s mouth,
“But your face looks terrible, meow!”
Ugh.
The order was wrong… Why do you give the disease at the end after pouring in the medicine?!
Not giving the disease and then the medicine, but giving the medicine and then the disease.
However, Sejun’s embarrassment disappeared completely.
“Let’s go out.”
“Understood, meow!”
At Sejun’s words, Theo clung to his knee, and Sejun stepped out of the storage room.
As soon as Sejun came out,
Kueng!
[Daddy Cuengi is here!]
Piyo!
[I’m here too!]
“I’m here as well!”
104.28.193.250
Cuengi, who had gone for special training from the Minotaur King, returned with Piyot and Uren.
“Why are you guys so late, meow?!”
Theo asked, looking at Piyot and Uren. They were supposed to enslave the skeletons on the 96th floor of the tower and come up.
“Well, on the way up…”
Uren began to explain the situation.
“So… you were delayed because you ran into a thief on the way up?”
“Yes!”
As expected, it was typical of Uren, the icon of misfortune.
“So, did you catch the thief?”
Piyo!
[No! They suddenly disappeared from the 81st floor of the tower, so we couldn’t catch them!]
Piyot answered in a frustrated voice.
“Hmm. It’s time for Detective Sherlock Sejun to step in.”
The 81st floor of the tower was where Sejun’s can go. It seemed like a good opportunity to check on the pear tree farm as well.
“Puhuhut. Then Detective Sherlock Sejun’s assistant Theoson will also go, meow!”
Kueng!
[Detective Cunan is deploying too!]
“Then let’s head out immediately!”
Sejun and his party, who decided to chase the thief, moved to the waypoint.
[Arrived at the 81st floor of the Black Tower.]…
..
.
“Everyone, come out.”
Arriving at the 81st floor of the tower via the waypoint, Sejun called out his party from the Void Storage.
And then,
“Piyot, lead us to where you lost the thief.”
Piyo! Piyo!
[Yes! You can count on me!]
They followed Piyot’s lead.
***
Outskirts of Destruction.
“What is this?”
Halphas, the 2nd Seat of the Apostles of Destruction, the Crow of Death, frowned as he watched the orb slowly losing its red aura.
This had never happened before, and now it’s happening not once, but twice…
Something was definitely happening that he wasn’t aware of.
“How dare they oppose the power of Destruction!”
With the diminishing power of Destruction on both ‘Earth’ and now ‘Neta’, Halphas was furious.
“What is Fenrir doing?!”
Halphas lashed out at Fenrir, who wasn’t even present.
At that moment,
-Halphas, why are you calling me?
Fenrir’s voice was heard.
“Fenrir? Why is your voice coming from there?”
Halphas asked, looking at the orb containing Earth.
-It’s none of your concern. More importantly, transfer control of the calamity to me. I’ll handle this place.
Fenrir’s thoughts didn’t mention that the core fragments had scattered.
Even though they were both Apostles of Destruction, they were like wild beasts ready to pounce on each other’s weaknesses, even if they were on the same side.
“Alright. I’ll transfer control of the calamity.”
Halphas handed over control as requested.
Thus, all control over the calamities on Earth was transferred to Michael.
***
Piyo! Piyo!
[It’s here! They suddenly disappeared here!]
Piyot stopped in front of a giant stone wall.
At that moment,
Kueng!
[I smell something!]
Following the scent with his eyes closed, Cuengi suddenly vanished.
Then,
Boom!
With a loud crash, a massive building appeared.
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Daddy Cuengi has solved the case!]
Cuengi, who had broken the core of the magic circle of the illusion spell, ran to Sejun with a bright smile.
