TL: Hanguk
[You have arrived on the 1st floor of the Blue Tower.]…
..
.
Sejun arrived at the Blue Tower.
Clank.
He quickly opened the Void Storage.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I missed you, meow!”
Theo, who had been waiting in front of the Void Storage door while making biscuits, jumped out quickly.
Kyurorong.Iona was tied to his tail, sleeping soundly.
If she was wrapped in Theo’s fluffy tail, Iona could sleep well no matter the situation.
“Meow!”
As soon as Theo clung to Sejun’s knee, he used the Talent: Energy Drain at full power and absorbed Sejun’s energy.
Kueng!
Kking!
In the meantime, Cuengi and Blackie also ran out from the Void Storage and hugged Sejun.
“Good job.”
Sejun patted Theo’s head and praised him,
Pat. Pat.
and also patted Cuengi’s and Blackie’s heads.
Because if he didn’t do this, they’d surely start bugging him to do it anyway.
Then,
“Puhuhut. I’m good at everything, meow!”
Starting with Theo,
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Cuengi knows Cuengi is good at what he does!]
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. The great Blackie is invincible!]
Cuengi and Blackie also had proud expressions. Everyone’s confidence was overflowing.
‘They really don’t know humility.’
And that was something Sejun just couldn’t let slide.
Haha. Then I’ll have to teach them some humility.
With a mischievous grin, he began to stretch his companions’ cheeks.
“Hehehe.”
“Puhuhut.”
Kuehehehe.
Kihihit.
It didn’t seem to have any effect in creating humility, but since everyone was satisfied, it was fine.
Sejun, having satisfied his personal greed by playing with their cheeks,
“Alright, let’s go.”
As they entered the shopping district on the 1st floor of the Tower to head toward the exclusive passage,
“Sejun-nim! Hello!”
104.28.193.250
Someone greeted Sejun.
“Huh? Tobas?”
It was Tobas the Empty-Handed, who had contributed greatly in Bochiel, the legendary merchant of the Blue Tower getting stamped.
“Tobas, what are you doing here?”
“Hahaha. I’m a merchant, of course I’m doing business.”
“Is that so?”
But for a merchant, there sure weren’t many customers around?
The area around Tobas’s stall was deserted.
Thinking he’d help out a little, Sejun looked over the goods Tobas was selling.
However,
“Ugh. How do you expect to sell this stuff?”
The stall was full of bananas just on the verge of going bad.
They were overripe because they hadn’t been properly managed.
There was a reason he was called Tobas the Empty-Handed.
“This won’t do. Cuengi, take out some strawberries.”
Kueng!
Sejun stepped up to help Tobas with his business.
And then,
“Iona, please make some ice.”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Yes!”
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, what should I do, meow?!”
“Vice Chairman Theo, use your dragon claws to blend the strawberries, bananas, and ice together.”
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow! My dragon claws are super sharp, meow! I can blend it well, meow!”
“Cuengi, peel the bananas, and Blackie, take off the strawberry tops.”
Kueng!
Kking!
Sejun assigned tasks to his companions.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, it’s all blended, meow!”
“Okay. Good job.”
Sejun, who hadn’t done anything, received the strawberry-banana juice that Theo had finely blended with his dragon claws
Gulp. Gulp.
and drank it.
“Wow. Cuengi, you try it too.”
Kueng!
Cuengi, who had been drooling ever since the delicious smell of blended strawberry and banana filled the air, quickly took the glass of juice and drank it.
Kueng! Kueng!
[It’s sweet and tasty! Dad is a genius!]
“Hehehe.”
Smiling at Cuengi’s compliment, Sejun said,
“Tobas, sell this. You won’t lose money that way.”
He suggested the strawberry-banana juice business to Tobas.
By making and selling strawberry-banana juice, he could make use of the overly ripe bananas and earn some money too.
“Oh. You’re helping me?”
“No. We’re just giving you the strawberries and ice, then we’re leaving?”
Even though it might not seem like it, except for Sejun, everyone else was extremely high-level talent. Even if he sold a strawberry banana juice for 10,000 Tower Coins, it wouldn’t cover their labor costs.
In a way, the fact that Sejun had such talented individuals making strawberry banana juice meant he was basically living a life of extreme luxury.
And just like that, Sejun helped Tobas the Empty-Handed be reborn as Tobas of Strawberry Banana Juice.
“Well then, sell them well.”
“Yes! Thank you!”
After passing Tobas’s stall and browsing other shops,
“Oh?! What’s that? That looks interesting. What is this?”
he bought food to eat.
After giving Tobas the ice and strawberries and teaching him the strawberry banana juice recipe along with a few precautions, it was suddenly nearing dinner time.
This isn’t because I want to eat, this is all for creating new recipes.
There was the great justification of culinary research,
“Cuengi, want to try it?”
Kueng!
[Cuengi want to eat it!]
and he had the perfect partner to eat with, so Sejun went around, trying almost every menu item being sold at the various shops.
“Oh. This is super tender.”
As he was eating at a restaurant like that,
[Talent: Bizarre Cooking has been activated.][You’ve got an incredible stomach!]
[All stats have increased by 30.]
A message popped up in front of Sejun.
“Incredible stomach?”
It would have been better if he hadn’t known what he was eating…
Because of [System 371], Sejun realized he had eaten something weird.
“Excuse me. What’s this made of?”
Unable to hold back his curiosity, he called over a staff member and asked about the ingredients of the dish.
“Ah. That’s made from giant blue fly meat…”
“What?! What did you say?!”
“Fly. Don’t you know flies? Buzz. They fly like this.”
To Sejun’s question, the staff kindly flapped both arms like wings and gave a very detailed explanation of what a fly was.
Not a fly person, but an actual winged fly?!
Thanks to that, Sejun was even more shocked. When the image of a fly formed in his mind, he could no longer swallow the food.
Nod.
When Sejun nodded to signal the staff that he understood, the staff left the table,
“Ptui, ptui! Cuengi, spit it out quickly.”
After hastily spitting out what was left in his mouth, Sejun quietly told Cuengi.
He wanted to shout, “That’s gross!” but he couldn’t interfere with someone’s business.
Kueng?
Ptui, ptui.
Cuengi also followed Sejun’s words and spit out the food with a confused look.
Then,
“Sorry. We’ll pay now!”
Sejun apologized to the staff, then quickly paid the bill and gathered his group to leave.
There were a few moments where Bizarre Cooking activated, but overall it had been an enjoyable experience.
Ah. That was a good meal.
After eating until full and almost making it out of the shopping district,
Thud.
“Didn’t I tell you to stand properly?! If I have to come back here again, you’re dead meat!”
From the back alley came the sound of a beating and the typical threat line from some scary guys.
Perk.
That instantly caught the attention of Theo, the master of extortion.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, let’s hurry over there, meow!”
“Alright.”
Sejun headed in the direction Theo pointed.
“Huh?! Those guys?”
In Sejun’s eyes, he saw the residents of the level 3 world <Recia>, the frogs, cornered against a wall, looking terrified.
“If we catch you making eye contact with us again, you’re done for. Next time, we’re feeding you poison first.”
Huge toads were threatening the frogs.
And then,
“Hak! Hak! Everyone stop right there, meow!”
Upon seeing the scene, Theo shifted into Stage 2 of Angry Hak mode.
<Recia> was the world where Gaeron, the slave jewel frog of Theo, acted as guardian deity.
Touching the residents of such a world meant touching the subordinates of Theo’s slave.
Broadly speaking, it meant offending Vice Chairman Theo of Sejun Company.
Which also meant offending Sejun Company, where Theo belonged.
“They disrespected our Great Hybrid Chairman Park, meow!”
That translated to: They looked down on Chairman Park.
“Kyoo-kyoo-kyoo-kyoo-”
Matching Theo’s rage, Iona also backed him up with a Phase 4 Kyoo of anger.
A short while later.
“Puhuhut.”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot.”
Stamp. Stamp. Stamp.
While Theo stamped the backs of the unconscious giant toads,
“Are you okay?”
“Yes. Thank you.”
“But who are those guys?”
Sejun asked the frogs about the identity of the toads.
“Those toads…”
The toads had come from the Level 6 world <Vspo>, which was newly connected to the Blue Tower, and as soon as they arrived, they started persecuting the frogs from <Recia>, looking down on them for being weaker.
“You’ll be fine from now on.”
Sejun reassured the frogs.
Sejun planned to visit <Vspo> and kindly(?) have a talk with the toads.
Just as the situation was settling down,
“You guys made a big mistake!”
One of the toads, the largest among them, came to his senses and shouted.
No way… he’s not going to say something as cliché as “Do you know who my dad is?” is he?
While Sejun was guessing the toad’s next words,
“Do you know who my dad is?! He’s the Emperor of the Kerma Empire!”
Gatoma shouted the exact cliché line.
In response,
Kuehehehe. Kueng?! Kueng!
[Hehehe. Do you know who Cuengi’s dad is?! Cuengi’s dad is Chairman Park Sejun of Sejun Company!]
Cuengi shot back with an equally cliché line.
Finally bragged about Dad!
In a very proud voice.
And then,
‘Krr… why does this make my chest feel tight?’
Watching Cuengi, Sejun felt a strange sense of pride.
That I’m cool(?) enough to be someone Cuengi brags about.
While Sejun was basking in the happiness of being acknowledged by Cuengi,
“Puhuhut. Your dad’s an emperor, meow?!”
Theo asked Gatoma with a laugh.
Thinking Theo was trying to suck up to him, Gatoma answered with a smile,
“Kuhahaha. That’s ri-”
Thunk.
He was knocked out by Theo with a strike to the back of the head. It was just a confirmation procedure.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, let’s take this guy to his dad, meow!”
Theo excitedly told Sejun after knocking Gatoma unconscious.
“Hehehe. Alright.”
Of course, Sejun was also excited.
Not just a kingdom, but an empire.
How much money must they have?
Thanks to recent earnings, he had already filled 3000 quadrillion of the 10,000 quadrillion Tower Coins needed to create a new world rule.
I need to fill this up quickly and save money to go home.
Having found a new potential money source, Sejun left a note with Gatoma instructing him to wait in the empire and then headed toward the exclusive passage.
***
Black Tower, 99th floor.
“Time to head out soon.”
It was almost time for Toryong’s field trip.
Buzz!
[Toryong-nim, have a safe trip!]
Sweetie saw off Toryong.
“Okay. I’ll be back.”
[Moving to Tartarus, the Prison of Gods.]Toryong headed off on his field trip to Tartarus.
Meanwhile, as Toryong went on the field trip.
Sejun’s brewery.
“…?”
Sejun No. 12 discovered that one-fourth of the brewery’s alcohol had disappeared.
Where did it go?
Sejun No. 12 tilted his head in confusion.
But soon, as if nothing had happened, he resumed brewing. If it’s gone, he’ll just make more.
A short while later.
Tartarus.
“Alright. Bottoms up!”
Toryong was offering alcohol to the gods of Tartarus.
It was Toryong who had taken the brewery’s liquor. Of course, he had received permission from Sejun in advance.
The reason he brought so much liquor was that Sejun’s alcohol had the added effect of increasing divine power in the gods.
“Ahh. That’s good. Toryong, where was I again in the story?”
“You were saying you were looking for a place to hide the treasure after stealing it.”
“Ah, right. So where I hid the treasure is…”
It was perfect for digging up information.
Especially since the guards and prisoners of Tartarus hadn’t had a drink in at least 10,000 years, just a little alcohol made them spill their secrets freely while drunk.
“Oh! Really?!”
“Huh?! Your glass is empty. Have some more.”
“That’s amazing!”
Thanks to that, Toryong easily found out where treasures, divine relics, and rare items were located just by refilling their glasses and throwing in a few reactions.
Better not forget this, gotta remember it all and report it to Sejun-nim.
Toryong worked hard to memorize everything he heard so he wouldn’t forget.
