Chapter 440: Did You Just Insult My Master?!
TL: Hanguk
“Umm.”
Sejun, who had fallen asleep after drinking alcohol in the mood of eating samgyeopsal yesterday, opened his eyes.
And
[The seal of the Earth’s Jewel has been broken.]…
..
.
He checked the messages.
A moment later,
“Today it’s maple syrup.”Maple-nim, I’ll give you 3.3 square meters.
Sejun spoke with a slightly disappointed voice after checking the reward from Maple, God of Maple, contained in a huge jar in the kitchen.
But it was okay.
[You have lifted the seals of five gods.][Quest conditions have been met.]
[As a reward for meeting the quest conditions, you have obtained 5 drops of the Growth Elixir.]
Today was the day to lift the seal of the Five Gods and receive the Growth Elixir.
Since he had 20 drops left from yesterday and received 5 more drops today…
“Hehe. 25 drops?”
Sejun laughed as he collected the Growth Elixir as a reward.
“But why is there no news of the Growth Elixir given every time I lift the curse of the 1000 Dragons?”
As Sejun wondered,
[The Tower Administrator says not to worry.]
[The Tower Administrator says it’s because she sold a glass of golden Samyangju for 500 billion tower coins.]
Aileen answered Sejun’s curiosity.
The Great Dragons were busy earning money to buy one glass of Golden Samyangju.
That’s why not a single glass of Golden Samyangju had been sold.
“500 billion tower coins?!”
Isn’t that too expensive? No wonder the quest isn’t being completed.
As Sejun spoke in a surprised voice,
[The Tower Administrator says that although it will take time, they can make an enormous amount of money.]
Aileen showed strong confidence.
To lift the Curse of Forgetfulness, the Great Dragons must drink a glass of golden Samyangju.
So Aileen set the price for one glass very high. Because from the second glass, it just becomes regular alcohol.
“But it’s still too expensive. Aileen, let’s lower it to 10 billion tower coins.”
Honestly, Sejun thought even 10 billion tower coins was expensive.
Aileen, who usually followed Sejun’s opinions,
However,
[The Tower Administrator says that’s too cheap.]
Today, she did not.
I need 100 quadrillion!
Because she needed money.
Aileen wanted to sell the golden Samyangju at a high price to cover her stay fee for going to Earth with Sejun.
Of course, even selling a glass of golden Samyangju for 500 billion tower coins was far from enough to reach 100 quadrillion.
“Aileen, let’s not do that and lower the price.”
In Sejun’s view, taking advantage of someone’s weakness to take exorbitant profits was not a good approach.
Even if you eat, eat in moderation.
If she made excessive profits like this, not only would it be bad for her, but there was a possibility that Aileen’s reputation among the dragons might worsen later.
He couldn’t let Aileen be cursed by other dragons.
[The Tower Administrator says, since you insist, then she’ll lower it to 250 billion tower coins.]
“Let’s lower it a bit more.”
Sejun continued to persuade Aileen.
[The Tower Administrator firmly says they can’t lower it below 50 billion tower coins.]
“Alright. Thank you for listening to me.”
The price of golden Samyangju was lowered to a level where dragons could afford it.
Thanks to that, golden Samyangju started to sell, and
“What?! 50 billion tower coins?! Why did Aileen suddenly do that?!”
“Aileen, you’ve become so kind.”
Aileen’s reputation among the dragons improved.
While Sejun was persuading Aileen,
Kueng!
[Dad, did you sleep well!]
Cuengi came to Sejun to greet him in the morning.
Kueng!
[And Cuengi is hungry!]
“It’s already this late. Aileen, is there anything you want to eat?”
Aileen felt quite upset about lowering the price, so Sejun asked to cheer her up.
[The Tower Administrator says they want to eat the 10-layer pancakes you make.]
“Alright! I’ll make them super delicious!”
Sejun shouted confidently.
Previously, he only drizzled honey over the pancakes, but now he had access to all the ingredients.
Hehehe. Now I’m a man who has all the ingredients!
Sejun’s Void Storage, stocked with items he had brought from the supermarkets on Earth, was filled with ingredients like whipped cream and ice cream.
Sejun cooled the pancakes after grilling them, then stacked them 10 layers high, generously spreading whipped cream between each layer.
On the topmost layer, he placed a scoop of vanilla ice cream and decorated the surroundings with blueberries and strawberries.
Thus, five 10-layer pancakes were completed.
One each for Aileen and Ajax, one for Sejun and Blackie, and the remaining two for Cuengi.
“Aileen, enjoy your meal.”
Sejun sent the pancakes to Aileen first.
[The Tower Administrator says the pancakes look so beautiful that it’s almost a shame to eat them.]
“Hehehe. Just eat them. I’ll make more for you next time.”
[The Tower Administrator nods nods and says okay in a happy voice.]
Sejun, after delivering the pancakes to Aileen.
“Ajax, enjoy your meal too.”
This time, he sent pancakes to Ajax.
[The White Tower’s Slave joyfully exclaims that Sejun hyung sent him pancakes, raising his hands in triumph.]
“Now, let’s eat.”
Kueng!
[I’ll eat it deliciously!]
Sejun started eating after sending the pancakes to Ajax.
“Puhuhut. As expected, the grilled fish made with Chairman Park’s care is delicious, meow!”
Of course, Theo was eating the grilled fish Sejun had prepared for him today as well.
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. It melts when eaten with milk!]
Kihihit. Kking!
[Heehee. It’s delicious!]
Cuengi and Blackie ate the pancakes with milk, and
Slurp.
“Ahh. This is good.”
Sejun ate the pancakes with coffee he had brewed himself.
After a while,
Kueng!
[Cuengi will clean until they make a squeaky clean sound!]
While Cuengi was doing the dishes,
“Meow?! Chairman Park, the cart has returned, meow!”
Theo, with his ears perked up, looked in one direction and shouted, and
Rumble.
A black hole appeared in the direction Theo was looking, and the Automatic Cart Wandering Between the Black Tower and Golden Tower after selling out its goods returned.
“The return time is getting later and later.”
Initially, it took 2 days, then 3 days, and now it took 4 days.
It’s not because there’s no demand since there aren’t many items yet to be sold…
It seemed like there was another reason.
While Sejun was lost in thought,
Clunk.
[Starting settlement.]The cart’s door opened, and the settlement began.
As expected, sales weren’t high this time either.
However,
5 Thunder Spirit Stones.
200 Lightning-struck Woods.
3000 Lightning Stones.
What mattered were the purchased items. Upgrading the storage compartment significantly increased the amount of purchased goods.
And
[Order Form from Helik Village]One order form.
Is it cherry tomatoes again this time?
Sejun checked the order form.
[Order Form from Helik Village]Orderer: Koi, Chief of Helik Village
Ordered Items: 10 million magical cherry tomatoes
P.S. – We will pay with the land deed of the 35th floor of the Golden Tower. Our village and 1000 surrounding villages are starving. Please send us the cherry tomatoes.
“Huh?!”
As expected, it was an order for magical cherry tomatoes, but the quantity and payment method exceeded Sejun’s expectations.
In a good way.
“Found it.”
He finally got the opportunity to obtain the land deed for the 35th floor of the Golden Tower.
“But I’ll need to go five times…”
Given the current size of the cart’s storage space, it can barely hold 2 million cherry tomatoes.
Of course, this was before the upgrade.
[Currently, there are 5 Thunder Spirit Stones in the Automatic Cart Wandering Between the Black Tower and Golden Tower which can be used to upgrade it.][By using 5(2+3) Thunder Spirit Stones, you can expand the storage space of the Automatic Cart Wandering Between the Black Tower and Golden Tower by 2.25 times.]
[Do you want to upgrade the Automatic Cart Wandering Between the Black Tower and Golden Tower using the Thunder Spirit Stones twice?]
The number of Thunderstones needed for each upgrade increases by one.
“Yes.”
As the storage space gets bigger, more items from the Golden Tower can be purchased, so it was a no-brainer.
With Sejun’s answer, the storage space of the cart was expanded by 2.25 times.
“Vice Chairman Theo, only fill the cart with cherry tomatoes this time.”
“Got it, meow!”
Sejun instructed Theo and then went to harvest the cherry tomatoes.
Since magical cherry tomatoes were a steadily selling item on Earth and the Green Tower, there wasn’t a large stock.
To fill the cart with 4.5 million cherry tomatoes, they might not have enough.
As Sejun harvested the cherry tomatoes and Theo loaded them onto the cart,
Kihihit! Kking!
[Heehee. Guys, move them!]
Kiki!
Kiki!
For the first time, Blackie helped on the farm, lining up the Destruction Devourers in two rows to hand the cherry tomatoes harvested by Sejun to Theo.
And then,
Kueng!
[I’ll go gather herbs and receive special training from Teacher Minotaur King!]
Cuengi, who had finished washing the dishes, headed towards the herb field.
***
1st Floor of the 10th Tower.
“Park Sejun, you scoundrel! Why aren’t you coming?!”
Stella was frustrated as she waited for Sejun today as well.
She wanted to send him all kinds of curses via a voice message orb, but she had no materials left to make another voice message orb.
There were no stones here, only soft soil.
“Park Sejun! You rotten %$&@!”
As she vented her anger at Sejun alone,
Crack.
A small, 5cm brown root poked out from the soil and looked around.
Did someone just insult my master?
It was Flamie, who had finally arrived at the 10th Tower after absorbing the thick red mist surrounding the area.
[You! Did you just insult my master?!]
Flamie demanded, looking at Stella who had cursed Sejun.
“What?! You?!”
How dare you call the great silver dragon Stella Hisron ‘you’?!
Whooosh.
As the enraged Stella gathered her energy, a massive wind blew, shaking Flamie’s root in response to her fury.
However,
[Quickly take back the insult to my master!]
104.28.193.250
Flamie, who had deeply planted her roots into the earth of the tower, didn’t budge.
“No way! Why should the great silver dragon like me do that?! He kept me waiting for so long, of course, he deserves some insults!”
As Stella drew more energy, a dragon wind was created.
[If you don’t take it back, I won’t let this go!]
Rumble.
Flamie didn’t back down and raised her massive roots that had been buried in the ground.
There was no one here!
There was no chance of being caught by Sejun, and no one would be harmed by her using her power.
“What will you do if you don’t let it go?! Wind, tear it apart!”
As Stella commanded the wind with her dragon words, it started grinding Flamie’s root like a shredder.
However,
[Hmph! That won’t do anything to me! So take back the insult to my master!]
Crack.
Flamie’s root regenerated almost instantly as it was being shredded.
The area around the 10th Tower was filled with the energy of destruction, and Flamie used the abundant nutrients to regenerate her root.
“Don’t get cocky! Wind, engulf and crush!”
Stella drew more energy and attacked Flamie again.
This time, the wind transformed into the shape of a giant dragon and swallowed Flamie’s roots, turning them into dust.
However,
[Quickly take back what you said about my master!]
Rumble.
With Flamie’s shout, hundreds of massive roots surged from the ground, surrounding Stella.
“Eek! No way!”
What is this thing?!
Roar.
As the cornered Stella panicked and fired a silver breath towards the roots,
[Take it back!]
Crack.
Flamie blocked the breath with her roots and started pressuring Stella.
And then,
-Oh. A fight!
The administrator of the 10th Tower watched their fight with great interest.
