Novel Full Chapter 545: O Yay!
TL: Hanguk
The 99th floor of the Black Tower.
“Ugh, I feel bloated.”
After finishing Aileen’s food, Sejun emerged from the kitchen with a drastically worsening complexion. Of course, it wasn’t because he had eaten too much.
“Meow?! Chairman Park’s face is chubby and looks seriously ugly, meow!”
“What do you mean chubby and seriously ugly… mmph.”
“This is an emergency, meow! There’s no time, meow! Immediate treatment, meow!”
While receiving a facial massage from Theo’s front paw,
Kueng! Kueng!
[Dad, here’s some hot chocolate milk! Drink this and get your energy back!]
Sejun recovered his condition while drinking the chocolate milk Cuengi had made for him.
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe! Butler! Cheer up! I’ll play with you!]
Blackie, pretending to help improve Sejun’s condition, was actually attempting to fulfill its own selfish desires.
“Blackie, go play with your subordinates.”
Kking···
[But I want to play with my butler…]
It didn’t work on Sejun.
With the care from Theo and Cuengi, Sejun recovered his condition.
“Let’s go to bed now. Good night, Cuengi.”
Kueng!
[Good night, Dad!]
After sending Cuengi off to Pink-fur, Sejun went into the bedroom with his companions to sleep.
Shortly after.
(Pip-pip. Good night, everyone.)
Paespaes got up and began its nightly activities, heading outside.

Kuhhh.
Gororong.
Kirorong.
···
..
.
Murorong.
In the bedroom, where everyone was fast asleep, only Mukbupal remained awake.
No, in fact, Mukbupal hadn’t slept even once since joining Blackie family.
Ppuu…
[I can’t fall asleep…]
Mukbupal was suffering from insomnia.
It vaguely remembered sleeping before, but ever since it started hanging out with snake faction, it rarely got any sleep.
More precisely, Snake faction had prevented Mukbupal from sleeping, to exploit it.
Although Leviathan brought Kraken to snake faction, claiming they were all sea creatures,
“Kraken, I’m a bit busy right now. Could you handle this for me?”
“Alright.”
“Kraken, I have too much work to do… Could you go there on my behalf?”
“Sure.”
Snake faction’s true intention was to use Kraken for its own benefit.
Between Jǫrmungandr, Hydra, and Leviathan, Kraken ended up doing the bulk of Snake faction’s tasks while fulfilling their requests as well.
To handle the workload, Kraken gradually reduced its sleeping hours until it could no longer sleep at all.
Ppuu···
[So bored···]
Unable to sleep, Mukbupal alleviated its boredom by exploring Sejun’s bedroom.
At that moment,
“Hmm… Mukbupal, why aren’t you sleeping?”
Sejun, half-asleep, opened his eyes and asked Mukbupal.
Ppuu.
[I can’t fall asleep.]
“Really? Wait a moment.”
Clink.
Hearing Mukbupal’s reply, Sejun opened his void storage and
Kya kya?
“Bring me a Plum of Deep Sleep.”
Had the Destruction Pioneer bring plums.
Then,
“Crop Miniaturization. Here, eat this. It’ll help you sleep better.”
Using his skill, he reduced the size of the plum and handed it to Mukbupal.
Ppuu.
[Thank you for the meal.]
Even though the plum had been shrunk, it was still larger than Mukbupal.
Wrap.
Wrapping its legs around the plum, Mukbupal’s body stretched, fully engulfing the plum.
Ppuu! Ppuu!
[It’s delicious! So good!]
Mukbupal began eating the plum with great relish.
Come to think of it, Jǫrmungandr-nim did promise to let me rest after this mission was over…
Ppurorong.
While munching on the plum, thoughts of a vacation crossed Mukbupal’s mind, and it slowly drifted off to sleep.
In its dreams, Mukbupal swam through the ocean, enjoying a peaceful holiday.
Kking?! Kking!
[Hey! Wake up! It’s playtime now!]
Until Blackie woke it up in the morning.
And then,
Eating, playing, sleeping.
Eating, playing, sleeping.
A real vacation, not a dream, began.
***
Seed Shop Headquarters.
“The time for battle has come again!”
“This time, I have a good feeling! Trust-in-Park is on my side!”
“What nonsense?! Trust-in-Park is with me!”
“No, it’s me!”
“It’s me, I tell you!”
The non-combat gods who had created their transcendence grade seeds for the Seed Shop began gathering in the plaza.
This was because the Seed Shop was set to open in a few hours.
At that moment,
“Hah! What nonsense?! Trust-in-Park is with me, I tell you!”
Pan, the God of Gold Dust, appeared confidently, holding a transcendence grade seed in his hand.
“Tch. I’d like to argue, but I can’t.”
“Indeed.”
The other non-combat gods gritted their teeth in frustration at Pan’s triumphant proclamation.
But,
“Puhahaha. Congratulations, Pan.”
“Isn’t this guy getting too full of himself?”
“Let it slide. At times like this, you’ve got to let him enjoy the moment.”
Soon, they all banded together to celebrate Pan.
This was because Pan had just become the proxy guardian deity of Hamk.
A few days ago,
[Park Sejun, the Tower Farmer of the Black Tower, proposes appointing you as the proxy guardian deity of Hamk under the condition of a 99:1 distribution ratio and an expansion of the gold dust mining area you previously established.] Ȓ�
“Uh….”
Trust-in-Park assigning Hamk to me?
Sejun had sent Pan a message proposing he become the proxy guardian deity.
The reason Sejun chose Pan as Hamk’s guardian deity was to expand the 3.3 square meter sized gold dust mining area in the pond.
Whiiing?! Whiiing!
[Oh?! There’s a lot of shiny stuff here!]
The seventh Poisonous Queen Bee, Seventh, who lived on the 99th floor of the Black Tower, began mining gold dust, making it possible to operate the mining area effectively.
Whiiing!
[Sweetie~nim, if we give this shiny stuff to Sejun~nim, he’ll be happy!]
Biiing?!
[Really?!]
True to its talent for sycophancy, Seventh knew that to win over Sweetie, it first had to win over Sejun.
Unlike those who were harassing Hunt, the God of Hunting, back at the Combat Shop headquarters, Seventh took a different approach.
Thanks to this, Sweetie was receiving praise from Sejun daily while delivering 10 kilograms of gold to him every day.
Of course, even if it wasn’t gold, Sejun would have still praised Sweetie.
“Sweetie, is there anything uncomfortable for you?”
But in addition to the praise, Sejun’s meticulous capitalistic service was also included.
When nearly all the non-combat gods had gathered in the plaza with their seeds in hand,
Kugung.
“It’s here!”
At the center of the Seed Shop headquarters, a spherical seed altar appeared, and the non-combat gods began placing their seeds into the altar.
When all the non-combat gods in the plaza had placed their seeds into the altar,
“Phew. Made it just in time.”
“Thankfully, we’re not late.”
Chaos, the God of Chaos, and Order, the God of Order, appeared in the plaza and placed the Seeds of Chaos and Order into the altar.
Then,
Gugung.
The altar began spinning rapidly, preparing for the draw.
“Trust-in-Park!”
“Trust-in-Park!”
“Trust-in-Park!”
The non-combat gods chanted desperately while staring at the altar, praying that Sejun would choose their transcendence grade seeds.
***
99th floor of the Black Tower.
“Haaaaa.”
“Meooow!”
Kkiing!
As Sejun and Theo woke up and Theo stretched lazily at the front door,
“Brother-in-law!”
Ace came running toward Sejun.
His expression was full of joy, but,
Wadadada!
His footsteps sounded dangerously threatening.
And then,
Puk!
Ace threw himself into Sejun’s arms.
“Urgh.”
My baby brother-in-law has gotten strong.
Thanks to this, Sejun experienced firsthand how much stronger Ace had become.
Although Sejun himself had grown much stronger in Hamk, he was no match for the wild Ace, who had grown powerful by eating Sejun’s crops raw to escape Aileen’s cooking.
“Brother-in-law! Let’s eat!”
Ace, looking around warily, urged Sejun to hurry and eat.
He was on edge because he didn’t know when his sister might force him to eat her food.
Though Sejun’s presence meant he no longer had to eat Aileen’s food, the young dragon Ace wasn’t ready to let his guard down just yet.
“Alright.”
Since he was planning to make breakfast anyway, Sejun carried Ace on his back and headed to the kitchen.
Kueng!
Along the way, they met Cuengi and went together.
“Humm humm humm.”
As Sejun hummed a tune while cooking in the kitchen,
“Hohoho. Our dear son-in-law, you’re up early today.”
Elizabeth walked into the kitchen with a bright smile.
A little while later,
“Mother-in-law, please have some. Everyone, dig in.”
Sejun placed the finished food on the table.
“Aileen, try this.”
He also sent a massive amount of food to Aileen.
[The Tower’s Administrator says she wonders why you made so much and that she can only eat a little, but she’ll try her best to eat it since it’s from you, speaking with a happy voice.]
‘Hehehe. You say that, but I know it’ll all disappear by today.’
Perfect. This ensures Aileen won’t be cooking today.
Sejun had preemptively filled Aileen’s stomach to prevent her from cooking.
Kihihihi. Today I’ll just eat lots of Sejun’s cooking and go to sleep.
Fortunately, Sejun successfully sealed away Aileen’s cooking for the day.
“Hehehe. Now, let’s see how it tastes.”
Thus, his happy breakfast began.
A little while later.
“Oh my! How much did I eat?! As expected, our dear son-in-law’s cooking is the best.”
“Puhihihi. That’s right! Brother-in-law’s cooking is the best!”
[The great Black Dragon, Elizabeth Pritani, praises your cooking highly.]
[Your soul becomes greatly fulfilled from receiving high praise from a high-ranking being.]
[Your Mental Strength increases by 30.]
[The great but young Black Dragon Hatchling, Ace Pritani, praises your cooking highly.]
[Your Mental Strength increases by 5.]
Receiving high praise from Elizabeth and Ace, who had eaten proper food for the first time in a while, Sejun’s Mental Strength increased.
After breakfast,
Kueng!
“Thanks, Cuengi.”
Slurp.
“Ahh, as expected, the coffee my son makes is the best!”
Sejun gave a dramatic thumbs-up as he sipped the coffee Cuengi had brewed.
Kuehehehe.
Cuengi smiled brightly and widely in response.
A little while later.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I’ll go make lots of money, meow!”
Kueng!
[Cuengi will gather lots of herbs, too!]
Theo and Cuengi headed off to the 4th floor of the Golden Tower and the herb garden, respectively, while Sejun also began his morning routine.
“Magic Swordsmanship!”
Slash.
Sejun, applying what he learned from Bochi, infused magic into his sickle and began harvesting green onions.
As he worked,
[You have harvested Detoxifying Green Onions.]
[Magic is slightly infused into the Detoxifying Green Onions.]
[Their shelf life is extended by 3 hours.]
[Your job experience increases slightly.]
[Your proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 9 increases slightly.]
[Your proficiency in Magic Swordsmanship Lv. 1 increases slightly.]
[You gain 100 experience points.]
The shelf life of the crops had increased, even if only slightly.
Thanks to that, Sejun worked with quadruple efficiency – harvesting crops, increasing shelf life, and raising proficiency in two skills.
Haha. This is the swordsmanship of a Tower Farmer. Farming Swordsmanship!
Swish. Swish.
While Sejun was enthusiastically harvesting crops feeling a bit smug,
[Seed Shop is now open.]
Sejun’s 15th Seed Shop opened.
[Park Sejun-nim’s rank is Transcendent.]
[Seven types of seeds, including Transcendence grade seeds, are randomly displayed for today’s sale.]
[At your current rank, you can purchase as many seeds as you want within a 500 Tower Coins limit.]
However,
[100 Bok Choy Seeds – 70 Tower Coins]
[100 Gondre Seeds – 50 Tower Coins]
···
..
.
[10 Yuzu Seeds – 5 Tower Coins]
This time, not a single Transcendence grade seed appeared in the seed list.
It had been a while since Sejun had such bad luck.
While it was disappointing for the non-combat gods, Sejun wasn’t disappointed at all.
“Oh! Gondre?!”
Mix it with rice to make thistle rice and season it with sauce. Kuuh.
“Hehehe. With Yuzu, I can make citron tea and citron jam.”
Because there were many delicious things.
After buying all 7 types of seeds
“Humm humm humm.”
Come on, little ones, grow quickly.
Humming a tune, Sejun planted the seeds.
***
Sea of Dimensions
[Is it here?]
Boom!
When Flamie struck a massive wall with her enormous root,
Kugung.
The wall crumbled, revealing a stone statue in the form of a sacred goddess.
[Hehe! I’ve found it!]
Flamie happily touched the statue with her root after discovering it.
At that moment,
“Candidate for the Tree of Creation, are you prepared to undergo the trial?”
The statue’s mouth moved as it spoke to Flamie.
This was the place Creator God had taught her about, where one takes the test to become a true Tree of Creation.
[Yes!]
When Flamie answered with a voice full of determination
“Very well. Then I shall begin the first trial. Bring me a Magic Stream Seed within 10 days.”
The trial had begun.
[Will a GreatMagic Stream Seed work as well?]
Knowing that Sejun didn’t have a Magic Stream Seed but did have Great Magic Stream Seeds, Flamie asked the statue.
“Yes. Since it is better than Magic Stream Seed, there will be additional rewards.”
Oh!
An incredibly easy trial.
Flamie was about to ask Cuengi to fetch the seed from Sejun and quickly complete the trial when,
“I will seal your powers while you take the first trial.”
The statue sealed Flamie’s powers.
Huh?! You’re sealing my powers?!
[O Yay!]
Great! Now I can stay with Sejun~nim!
Flamie scrapped its plan to pass the trial immediately and decided to spend the full 10 days playing by Sejun’s side before completing the first trial.
