Chapter 476: It’s Because I Was Too Embarrassed!
TL: Hanguk
“Everyone did a great job!”
Sejun, who had snatched all the Golden Grapes Infused with the Energy of the World from the top 100 rankers of the Grape Eating Competition, patted the heads of Theo and Cuengi who had helped him, praising them.
Though ‘snatched’ might be a bit of an exaggeration…
Kueeeeng! Kueng!
[That’s Dad’s! Cuengi is giving it to dad!]
In Sejun’s frenzy, Cuengi went on a rampage too, and threw a tantrum to Pink-fur and the Minotaur King.
“If you give it to me, I’ll lay down grass for you.”
“Puhuhut. The grass laid by Chairman Park will surely be delicious, meow! Hurry up and hand it over, meow!”
In exchange for laying down a grass field, both Park Theo and Sejun managed to get Golden Grapes Infused with the Energy of the World from the top-ranked Black Minotaurs.
Thanks to that, he laid grass on 990,000 square meters of land in an hour, and
Sejun’s Laying Grass skill leveled up to 4, allowing him to lay grass 20cm high over an area of 132 square meters at once.
“Uren, hand it over, meow! That belongs to our Chairman Park, meow!”
Of course, from Uren, they truly just took it.
After collecting all the rewards from the Grape Eating Contest like that, the three of them.
“Hehehe.”
“Puhuhut.”
Kuehehehe.
Sat in front of the shop that exchanged crops for Harvest Festival Commemorative Grapes, laughing happily.
Hehehe. They’re all mine.
Sejun was happy, having collected 300 Golden Grapes Infused with the Energy of the World.
Puhuhut. I’m happy just being on Chairman Park’s lap, meow!
Theo was just happy to be on Sejun’s lap,
Hehehe. Dad will get stronger now! Cuengi will make Dad as strong as Cuengi!
Cuengi, dreaming an impossible dream, was happy believing that his frail dad would become a little stronger.
Kueng!
[Dad, hurry and eat to get stronger!]
“Alright.”
Nom.
[You have consumed a Golden Grape Infused with the Energy of the World.]
[All stats increase by 10.]
[The enery of the world gathers slightly.]
…
..
.
With Cuengi’s encouragement, Sejun began eating the Golden Grapes Infused with the Energy of the World.
Stamina (4197/4197)
He ate until his Stamina stat matched his potential.
Most of his other stats were already at their potential with just eating 2-3 grapes, so there was no need to eat more since it would be inefficient.
Like that, Sejun had eaten 65 of the golden grapes so far, with 35 left to trigger a miracle.
After a while…
“Sejun-nim, hello. We are here to exchange crops. Here are 5,500 Harvest Festival Commemorative Grapes.”
A group of 100 silver foxes approached, exchanging 5,500 crates of Vitality-Infused Fragrant Grapes.
“Sejun-nim, hello. We’d like to exchange for sweet potatoes.”
The red foxes also came to Sejun.
“Alright. Since it’s 7,000 grapes, here are 7,000 sacks of sweet potatoes.”
“Sejun-nim, I’m your loyal full-time employee Bayon. This morning I swept the yard and…”
Bayon rambled on about the tasks he had done that day, trying to get more food.
“Got it. Here’s 50kg of slime meat. Satisfied?”
“Yes! Thank you! I’ll continue to serve you diligently!”
Knowing that Bayon was providing for his subordinates in the Brown Tower, Sejun gladly gave him extra food.
He’s kinder than he looks.
“That’s enough. Make sure you’re not late for dinner.”
“Yes!”
Bayon, after securing the 7,000 sacks of sweet potatoes and 50kg of slime meat, left in a hurry, guarding the surroundings with his subordinates.
Not just the Silver Foxes and Red Foxes, but other foxes were also trying not to touch the food they exchanged with Sejun as much as possible.
It was to feed their families when they returned home.
After the foxes and other participants flocked to exchange crops and the crowd thinned out
“Alright. I guess it’s time for me to make an exchange too.”
Sejun approached the exchange shop at the Bountiful Grape Cluster Altar.
And then…
[Do you want to exchange 100 million Harvest Festival Commemorative Grapes for a Grape Seed Containing the World Tree?]
“Yes.”
Using 100 million out of the 130 million Harvest Festival Commemorative Grapes he had collected, Sejun exchanged them for a grape seed that radiated a brilliant purple light.
[Grape Seed Containing the World Tree]
As soon as the Grape Seed Containing the World Tree appeared in Sejun’s hand,
[A quest has been generated.]
[Job Quest: The current environment of the Silver Tower is unsuitable for farming due to strong winds. Plant the Grape Seed Containing the World Tree in the Silver Tower to weaken the wind.]
Reward: 50 billion Tower Coins, All Stats +100, 30 drops of Growth Elixir, 1 drop of the Great Growth Elixir, 1 Job Talent.
A quest message appeared before Sejun.
“Go to the Silver Tower?”
Going there wouldn’t be difficult if I have a land deed, but…
The reward was too good.
The Great Growth Elixir, which seemed superior to the regular Growth Elixir, and the Job Talent, something that had never been offered as a reward before, were particularly tempting.
It felt suspiciously like the reward was designed to send him to the Silver Tower no matter what.
‘Heh, I’m not falling for it.’
Excessive kindness is always a cause for suspicion.
Sejun decided to hold off on the quest until he was sure the environment in the Silver Tower was safe.
Just then,
Growl.
Cuengi, who was hanging from Sejun’s waist, had his belly grumble loudly.
The sound was so loud that Sejun could feel the vibration.
Cuengi, you ate 12,500 baskets of grapes just 3 hours ago, even though it’s dinner time.
As Sejun looked at Cuengi with astonished eyes
Kuehehe.
Cuengi, feeling a bit embarrassed, scratched his head and gave an awkward laugh.
“It’s okay. You need to eat a lot to grow big. Alright! Since you guys helped me out today and worked hard, we’ll have a special meal tonight!”
Sejun declared grandly and headed to the kitchen.
Shortly after.
“Puhuhut. It’s a super giant grilled fish, meow! I’m so excited, meow!”
Cueng!
[It’s a huge meat rice bowl!]
Sejun brought out an extra-extra-extra-large grilled fish and a massive meat rice bowl served in a 1 meter wide black pot and handed them to the two.
And then,
Glare.
This is what happens when you betray me! Scary, isn’t it? freeωebnovēl.c૦m
In front of Pink-fur, Uren, and the others, Sejun placed regular-sized pots filled with meat rice bowls, glaring at them as a warning. These portions were noticeably smaller than Cuengi’s.
Of course, Sejun only made eye contact with Pink-fur for about 0.001 seconds.
Thus, Sejun issued a petty warning through the size of the food.
After finishing dinner,
“Uncle-nim, thank you. Land Moving.”
Sejun moved Uncle Raod next to the Creator God’s Tablet and expanded its size to 66 square meters, and also erected an achievement monument.
[Uncle’s Achievement Monument]
– Uncle, the God of Grapevines, who made our journey to Earth easier with the Grapevine Bracelet of Sealing. He was a decent god.
– Smooth operation of the Grape Eating Competition.
The reason for the monument was because Uncle ensured the supply of grapes didn’t run out during the competition.
At first, Sejun had been annoyed that the grapes never depleted, but thanks to that, the contestants ate plenty and earned a lot of Harvest Festival Commemorative Grapes, and
Because the participants came to Sejun to exchange their grapes, Sejun was able to secure a alot of the Harvest Festival Commemorative Grapes.
Moreover, he liked the reward, the Golden Grapes Infused with the Energy of the World.
By the time he finished erecting the achievement monument, the sky had turned dark.
“Alright, let’s go to bed, guys.”
“Got it, meow!”
Cueng!
[Goodnight, dad!]
Fwoosh.
Cuengi, using his telekinesis, floated into Sejun’s arms.
“Yeah. You too, Cuengi. Sleep well.”
Sejun hugged Cuengi tightly and said goodnight.
“Uncle-nim will be satisfied with this, right?”
Sejun glanced back at Uncle’s Achievement Monument one more time before heading inside to sleep.
***
Seed Shop Headquarters.
As the Grape Eating Competition ended and the settlement began
[The Grape Eating Competition has ended.]
[A total of 131,450,000 people participated in the Grape Eating Competition.]
[You have gained 13,145,000 Divine Power.]
[A total of 13,150,000 Divine Power was used to create grapes for the Grape Eating Competition.]
[5,000 Divine Power will be taken away.]
A message appeared.
“Huh?!”
In an effort not to disappoint Park Sejun, Uncle had diligently worked on producing grapes, only to find that his efforts resulted in a net loss.
On top of that, when considering the divine power spent to create the Golden Grapes Infused with the Energy of the World for the reward…
I’m ruined!
As Uncle despaired,
“Uncle, you lack faith. Do not doubt the Trust-in-Park!”
“Yeah. Do you think you can get an achievement monument with such shallow belief?! Believe! Believe strongly! Then one day, that Trust-in-Park will get you an monument!”
Leah, the God of Abundance, and Luna, the God of Moonlight, who had both received achievement monuments from Sejun, scolded Uncle for his despair.
And then,
“Trust-in-Park!”
“Trust-in-Park!”
“Trust-in-Park!”
Leah, Luna, and the non-combat gods around them began chanting the slogan enthusiastically.
“Trust-in-Park!”
As Uncle joined the other non-combat gods in chanting the slogan,
That’s right! Don’t lose faith! If I invest in Park Sejun, good days will come!
Before he knew it, the despair was gone and hopeful feelings surged.
At that moment,
[Park Sejun, the Tower Farmer of the Black Tower, has rebuilt your temple in a new, larger, and higher location.]
[Your Divine Power increases by 150.]
…
..
.
[The Black Tower’s strongest, Black Minotaur Ox Demon King, has witnessed your temple.]
[Your Divine Power increases by 100.]
[Crimson Giant Bear Pink-fur of the Black Tower has witnessed your temple.]
[Your Divine Power increases by 10.]
[50,000 Calamity Guardian Destruction Devourers, have witnessed your temple.]
[Your Divine Power increases by 500.]
Flash!
A radiant light burst forth from Uncle’s body as his divine power rapidly increased.
[Theo Park, the legendary merchant of the Black Tower, has witnessed your temple.]
[Theo Park, the legendary merchant of the Black Tower, steals 0.01 divine power from you.]
There was a brief message about Theo stealing some of Uncle’s divine power, but it was quickly buried beneath other messages.
Flash!
Following that, radiant light also shone from the bodies of Leah and Luna, as their achievement monuments were located in similar areas.
“Look! The sight of being rewarded for faith in Trust-in-Park!”
“Trust-in-Park!!”
“Trust-in-Park!!”
“Trust-in-Park!!”
The chants of the non-combat gods grew even more fervent.
***
Early the next morning.
Kihihi. Kking! Kking?
[Hehe. Great! Everyone has finished preparing the gift items for the butler, right?]
Blackie, who had gone to bed early and woke up early, asked his subordinates.
“Of course! I made mine a while ago and had it hidden away!”
Responding to Blackie’s question, Eomdol reached into the Creator God’s tablet and pulled out a black dolsot (stone pot).
“The stone from this tablet is very sturdy and has excellent heat retention.”
Eomdol tapped the Creator God’s tablet with a bright smile.
Kking! Kking! Kking!
[Great! Eomdol passes! Next is Ggomi!]
Kkiruk!
At Blackie’s words, Ggomi confidently pulled out a full-body suit that was folded dozens of times from her chest.
Kkiruk! Kkiruk!
(It’s a camouflage suit with a wearing sensation that doesn’t feel like you’re wearing anything, and the ability to change to match the surrounding environment! Of course, I made sure to include basic defense to protect the frail Sejun-nim!)
Kking! Kking! Kking!
[Excellent! Ggomi also passes! Next is Kkabi!]
Shalarrang!
(What I prepared is over there!)
Kkabi stepped forward, leading the way while Blackie and the subordinates followed.
The place they arrived at was the brewery.
Shalarrang! Shalarrang!
(I’ve aged these wines to be even more delicious! They’ve even gained additional abilities, so Sejun-nim will surely like them!)
Kkabi proudly pointed at the jars where golden Samyangju was aging.
Kking! Kking!
[Good. Kkabi also passes! Next, Karurur!]
Caw!
(It’s Jaki’s turn next!)
Karurur, objecting to Blackie’s command, protested.
Kking! Kking! Kking!
[Quiet! Jaki is making 1kg of amethyst every day for the butler! Just show your gift!]
Whack!
Of course, Karurur received a smack to the back of his head for his defiance.
Caw.
(Tch! I picked this up on the way!)
Karurur shyly pulled out a red orb from his arms.
Kking?
[This is an orb of Death Energy?]
Caw!
(That’s right!)
Karurur, true to his nature as the Crow of Death, collected the surrounding death energy and crafted an orb infused with the energy of death.
The Orb of Death Energy can be used for various functions, but the most notable being its ability to warn the holder when death is approaching.
Kking! Kking! Kking!
[Good! It’s a perfect fit for our frail butler! Karurur, you pass too!]
Caw!
[Hmph! Of course I pass!]
Feeling proud after receiving Blackie’s approval, Karurur lifted his head arrogantly.
But then…
Kking?! Kking?!
[But wait, you’re the one who makes these! So what do you mean you “picked it up”? Did you lie to me?!]
Caw… Caaw…
[No… that’s…]
Karurur was scolded for lying.
‘It’s because I was too embarrassed!’
Being embarrassed, Karurur couldn’t possibly admit the truth.
