Chapter 680: Hehehe. Reborn Park Sejun. Magnificent.
TL: Hanguk
PR: MiniPixelZ
Midnight on the 99th floor of the Black Tower.
(Pip-pip. Good night, everyone.)
Paespaes, who had woken up later than usual after running around during the day to collect money in order to save Sejun, started to move.
I’m hungry.
Flap. Flap.
First heading to the kitchen to fill his belly.
– Paespaes, thank you for earlier today. As expected, our Paespaes is the best!
(Ppahehe.)He became happy as he looked at the note and fruit lunchbox Sejun had left behind.
And
I will quickly find the treasure and fill Sejun~nim’s Void Storage! That way, Sejun~nim will become happier and healthier!
Determined to find the treasure hidden by the gods of Tartarus, he ignited his passion.
Nom. Nom. Nom.
It’s delicious!
He aggressively sucked up the fruit juice.
A moment later.
After finishing his meal,
Swoosh. Swoosh.
Paespaes enthusiastically opened dimensional gates and went in search of the remaining three worlds out of the five that Toryong had learned about: <Kpies>, <Nyamyok>, and <Tsuyne>.
While wandering through dozens of different worlds,
Swoosh.
Paespaes created a dimensional gate into a new world, looked around, and discovered a resident.
He looks like both Big Brother and Sejun~nim!
What Paespaes had found was a cat-person. A feline humanoid.
(Pip-pip! What is the name of this world?)
Feeling a sense of familiarity, Paespaes approached and asked.
“This world, you ask? Meuhuhu. What an interesting question. This place is called Nyamyok. And I am Hiren.”
From the cat-person with an accent similar to Theo’s Granier dialect, he got the answer he wanted.
(Pip-pip! I finally found it!)
Paespaes was thrilled to have found the world where the treasure was hidden.
Where did this little guy come from? He looks fascinating and adorable.
Hiren looked at Paespaes with a gaze filled with curiosity and greed. Of course, there was no good intent.
However,
If I create a dimensional gate right in front of the place where the treasure is, Sejun~nim will be even more pleased, right?!
Focused solely on wanting to bring greater joy to Sejun, Paespaes didn’t notice Hiren’s gaze.
And then
(Ppahehe! Hiren~nim, do you happen to know of Eryon Castle?)
He asked Hiren if she knew the location where the treasure was hidden.
“Eryon Castle? Of course I know it. I’ll guide you there.”
(Pip-pip! Really?! Thank you!)
And so, the path to Eryon Castle with Hiren began.
(Pip-pip! But I don’t see any other residents here? Where did they all go?)
While moving around, Paespaes started to wonder as he hadn’t seen any other residents of <Nyamyok>.
“Of course. This is my land. And everything on my land belongs to me.”
Hiren answered Paespaes’s curiosity, wearing a sinister smile.
(Pip-pip?!)
Sensing that something was wrong, Paespaes quickly tried to ascend high into the sky.
“Meahaha. It’s already too late. Shackles of sealing. Restrain him!”
Fwoosh.
Suddenly, a massive violet magic circle appeared on the ground,
Clatter.
Massive chains with shackles at the ends surrounded Paespaes.
Clink.
Before he realized it, a shackle was attached to Paespaes’s leg.
It was a shackle Paespaes could easily shake off with his strength, but
Huh?!
The moment the shackle was fastened, Paespaes’s thoughts returned to the time when he was locked alone in the Void Storage by Skaram.
At the same time, fear overwhelmed Paespaes and he became powerless. It was traumatic.
He had thought he had overcome it, but being with Sejun had merely helped suppress it well.
(Pip…pip…Sejun~nim…I can’t breathe…I’m scared…)
Paespaes fell into panic and lost consciousness.
Clatter.
The chains dragged Paespaes into the magic circle. And as Paespaes was pulled into the ground, the magic circle vanished.
“Meahaha. My collection has grown.”
The corrupted hero of <Nyamyok>, the Witch of the Abyss, Hiren, headed to her castle with her new trophy.
To her original destination, Eryon Castle.
***
Forest of Creation.
“Candidate for the Tree of Creation. You have succeeded in transforming all five great barren lands into life-filled grounds. You have passed the fourth trial. Well done. Receive your reward.”
With the Trial Statue acknowledging the completion of the fourth trial, Flamie received her reward, and her power increased dramatically.
However,
[Hehe. So now there’s only the final trial left?]
Despite becoming stronger than usual, Flamie didn’t look sad.
Now, even if she passed the trial or became stronger, she had a way to stay with Sejun, so she was fine.
By holding her breath under the <Law of the Tree of Creation: Weakens When Holding Breath> and using <Power: Frail Pretty Girl>, she could stay by Sejun’s side for about an hour.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t use the above law and power as an avatar.
Ah. Since Sejun~nim has gotten a bit stronger, I think I could extend it to about 3 minutes more.
[Hehe. I’m excited.]
Flamie was thus delighted that Sejun had grown stronger through transformation of the body.
[Then, when is the final trial?]
She asked the Trial Statue about the schedule for the fifth trial.
“The trial has already begun.”
[What?! You haven’t even told me what the trial is about!]
“The fifth trial to become the Tree of Creation candidate starts with finding the problem.”
She realized she had to find the problem herself first.
And then,
[Avatars, quickly spread out and start searching.]
[Hehe. Yes!]
[Hehe. Yes!]
…
..
.
To find the question for the final trial, Flamie began dispatching avatars across thousands of worlds.
***
“Alright.”
Feeling refreshed from yesterday’s complete transformation, Sejun got up energetically.
“Hehehe. Reborn Park Sejun. Magnificent.”
My face is more handsome, and my body’s better too.
Sejun spent a moment basking in self-admiration.
I should be fine, right?
Unconsciously, he glanced over at Theo.
Gororong.
Kyurorong.
Fortunately, Theo was sound asleep with Iona.
Then,
Why the heck am I checking Theo’s reaction?!
Feeling annoyed for no reason,
Squish.
He grabbed Theo’s cheek and stretched it out.
Hehehe. Do you know your sins?!
Just as Sejun’s bad mood was nearly gone while playing with Theo’s chewy rice cake-like cheeks,
“Meeoow… Chairman… I’m sowwy, meow…”
Theo apologized in his sleep.
“Hehehe.”
Seeing Theo like that completely lifted Sejun’s spirits. He took the Theo couple and the Blackie Family and stepped outside.
Clack.
He opened the Void Storage.
And, as usual, he hunted while checking over the Calamity Farm.
“Vice Chairman Theo, claws.”
Using Theo’s claws.
“Understood, meow…”
Shink…shink…
His claws came out a bit slowly because he was sleepy.
Sejun grabbed Theo’s claws, aimed at the target, and firmly pressed Theo’s toe.
Shoom.
Theo’s magic blade flew in a straight line. It was Theo’s skill One-Meow-Slash.
Shoom. Shoom.
In this way, Sejun eliminated locusts with Theo’s One-Meow-Slash while he was asleep.
[Black Tower’s Lucky Legendary Merchant Park Theo, has defeated the first calamity of destruction, White Locust.][You have gained 50 million experience points, which is 50% of the experience obtained by Black Tower’s Lucky Legendary Merchant Park Theo.]
[You have gained an additional 100 million experience points from the effect of <Title: Owner of the Calamity Farm>.]
…
..
.
He gained experience together with Theo. Although the experience was halved compared to solo kills, it was faster and easier.
He conveniently collected the Calamity corpses with <Power: Insignificant and Cowardly Plunder>, which allowed him to take one item within 100 meters without being noticed.
While inspecting the farms one by one like that,
[Congratulations.][You have leveled up.]
[You have acquired 10 bonus stats.]
[Your Strength has increased by 30.]
[Your Strength potential has increased by 1%.]
Sejun leveled up at the slime farm and reached level 190.
[A job quest has occurred.][Job Quest: You must master the Harvesting skill.]
Reward: Unlock Level 191, 600 billion Tower Coins, All Stats +1300
He received a job quest.
Luckily, the content of the job quest was something Sejun had already achieved.
[You have already mastered Harvesting (Master).][You have completed the quest.]
[As a reward for completing the quest, level 191 has been unlocked.]
[As a reward for completing the quest, 600 billion Tower Coins…]
[As a reward for completing the quest, all stats increased by 1300…]
Sejun instantly completed the job quest and received the rewards.
“Hehehe.”
This is the honey-sucking life of genius Park Sejun.
With a satisfied smile, Sejun wrapped up his remaining tasks. Above all, what made him feel the most accomplished was receiving 10 bonus stats from leveling up.
A little later.
After finishing the work at the calamity farm, Sejun left the void storage and
“Summon Door.”
He headed to the 10th Tower, where he began working again by planting seeds and harvesting crops. Maybe it was the lightness of his body or his good mood, but the work went smoothly.
While Sejun was deeply immersed in farming,
Kueng?!
[Sejun~nim, are you there?!]
He heard Pink-fur calling for him from outside the gate.
“Oh! I’m here! I’ll be right out!”
Sejun responded and quickly returned to the Black Tower.
Pink-fur’s arrival meant she was here to leave Cuengi with him while going off for training and to pick up Choco Pie.
In other words, he had to hurry and make Choco Pie.
So Sejun exited the gate connected to the 10th Tower,
Kurorong.
“Our little Cuengi’s still dreaming?”
Kuehehehe…
He received Cuengi, mounted him at his side, and went with Pink-fur to the kitchen.
Then,
“Cook.”
He replicated the Choco Pie made by Sejun No. 12 and filled Pink-fur’s snack pouch with them.
“Here you go.”
When Sejun handed the snack pouch full of Choco Pie to Pink-fur,
Kueng. Kueng?
[Thank you. But where is Paespaes?]
Pink-fur expressed gratitude and asked about Paespaes’s whereabouts.
“Paespaes? Of course, on my left shoulder… huh?! He’s not there?”
104.28.193.250
As Sejun reached for his left shoulder and didn’t feel Paespaes, he hurriedly checked all over his body to find the hidden Paespaes.
As Sejun frantically searched his body,
“Chairman Park, what’s going on, meow?!”
“Kyoot?”
Kueng?
[Dad, what’s wrong?]
Kking! Kking!
[Because of butler, Great Blackie woke up! Since it’s your fault, give me roasted and dried sweet potato!]
The others couldn’t help but wake up too.
“Guys, do you see Paespaes?!”
Sejun urgently asked his group.
“Meow?! Chairman Park, Paespaes is gone, meow!”
“Kyeng. I don’t see him.”
Kueng!
[Paespaes isn’t here!]
Kking?!
[Big brother Paespaes, where did you go?!]
Feeling something was wrong, the group searched for Paespaes, but he was nowhere to be seen.
“Where did Paespaes go?”
As Sejun thought for a moment,
No way?!
He quickly crossed the dimensional gate Paespaes had created with the group and arrived not at Kamyeoldaeseong, but in another world.
[You have entered the Level 9 world <Nyamyok>.][System 371] sent Sejun a message to inform him which world he had entered, trying to gain his favor.
Level 9 world, Nyamyok?
If it’s Nyamyok…
“Ah. That’s the world where the treasure is hidden. Is he looking for the treasure?”
Normally, Paespaes always returned before morning, so Sejun was a bit worried, but since Paespaes was quite strong, he didn’t worry too much.
In the 99th floor of the Black Tower, worrying about others is the most pointless thing of all.
Forcibly suppressing the worry rising in his heart, Sejun asked,
“Iona, can you locate Paespaes?”
Because Iona had cast location tracking magic on everyone to easily find Theo, she should be able to locate Paespaes.
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Just a moment. Power of magic, follow the mark…”
Iona used magic,
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Sejun~nim, that way!”
She pointed toward the north, filled with dark clouds as if rain was about to fall.
I’ve got a bad feeling about this.
An unexplained sense of unease crept into Sejun.
Kuehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehehe. Dad, ride on Cuengi’s back!]
Meanwhile, Cuengi grew in size and carried the group.
“Cuengi, full speed!”
Kueng!
[Got it!]
Boom!
To alleviate Sejun’s anxiety, Cuengi flew north faster than the speed of sound.
