Chapter 536: Puhuhut. I’ve completely sold off Chairman Park, meow!
TL: Hanguk
Omid
Squish. Squish.
“Puhuhut. Elizabeth-nim, listen carefully, meow! I’ll tell you about our great hybrid, Chairman Park, meow! Our Chairman Park’s name is Park Sejun…”
Listen up. Here comes the legendary story of Chairman Park, meow!
While Theo was treating Elizabeth, he started talking about Sejun. Of course, as a devoted fanatic of Sejun’s knees, his words were filled with nothing but praise for Sejun.
However, it was a bit different than usual this time, he omitted the facts about his ugly appearance or his weaknesses and focused solely on compliments.
I, Vice Chairman Theo, will raise Chairman Park’s score with his future mother-in-law, meow!
This was to ensure Elizabeth developed a favorable impression of Sejun.
As Theo enthusiastically recounted Sejun’s merits to Elizabeth,“…Chairman Park… Chairman Park…”
What’s that sound?
Elizabeth occasionally regained consciousness and caught fragments of Theo’s words.
It’s been a while since I felt this comfortable.
This cozy sensation was something she hadn’t experienced in a long time.
So, feeling good, she attentively listened to Theo’s story while enjoying his massage.
Most of the story was about a human named Chairman Park.
“Puhuhut. Speaking of our Chairman Park, he’s an incredible Tower Farmer who owns 27 new crop varieties, meow! Using those varieties, he’s made all the other Tower Farmers his subordinates, meow!”
“Puhuhut. On the 99th floor of the Black Tower, there are two World Trees grown by our Chairman Park, meow!”
“And this is a secret even the great Chairman Park doesn’t know, but since you’re Aileen noona’s mother, I’ll tell you specially, meow! We also have a tree called Flamie that’s even more amazing than the World Trees planted by Chairman Park, meow!”
The more she listened, the more Elizabeth realized that this Chairman Park wasn’t an ordinary human.
On top of that,
What?! Chairman Park completely healed my Aileen’s heart with his Cherry Tomatoes?!
Chairman Park exterminated the locusts with his Green Onions?!
Chairman Park turned the Black Tower into the great Black Tower?!
There was a curse on the great dragons, and he lifted it?! With his alcohol, no less?!
As Theo continued recounting Sejun’s accomplishments, the feats only became more astonishing.
Thus, Theo persistently narrated Sejun’s incredible achievements to Elizabeth as if brainwashing her.
This human named Chairman Park really possesses extraordinary abilities.
Elizabeth developed a favorable impression of Sejun, just as Theo intended.
However,
“Puhuhut. The great White Dragon Ajax Mamebe considers our Chairman Park his elder brother, meow!”
“Puhuhut. The great Chairman Park is…”
Theo’s praise for Sejun showed no signs of stopping.
Too much is as bad as too little.
Enough!
Finally, Elizabeth couldn’t endure it any longer, opened her eyes, and sat up.
At that moment,
-Elizabeth!
The Black Dragon statue, controlled by Anton, called out to Elizabeth.
“This… this magic power… Anton?”
Recognizing Anton’s magic, Elizabeth exclaimed joyfully. How much had she missed him!
-Yes! It’s me!
Elizabeth and Anton were reunited.
They looked at each other and began their first conversation in 150 years.
“Vice Chairman, come here.”
Sejun, noticing Theo awkwardly lingering atop Elizabeth’s stomach, motioned for him to come over.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I missed you, meow! But why are you calling me, meow?”
Theo rushed to Sejun at his call, clinging to his knees as he asked. Sejun quietly led Theo outside.
Right now, they needed time alone.
As Sejun exited the cave where Elizabeth was,
Flap. Flap.
(Pip-pip. Sejun-nim, this!)
[Sealing Stone of Adrous, the Demon King of Sloth]Paespaes brought the stone containing the sealed Adrous, the Demon King of Sloth.
“Blackie, time to work.”
When Sejun handed the Sealing Stone to Blackie,
Kkihihit. Kking!
[Hihit. Butler! Leave it to me!]
Kurorong.
Blackie grabbed the Sealing Stone and fell asleep.
He had begun exorcism with his subordinates.
Meanwhile, Sejun looked around and,
Clank.
Opened his Void Storage to take out some crops and began cooking.
Mother-in-law’s condition is too poor.
Elizabeth’s condition was poor, so Sejun decided to prepare a nourishing dish to restore her health.
The fact that Sejun could stand near Elizabeth in her true form and remain unaffected demonstrated just how severe her condition was.
“Crop Miniaturization.”
Sejun used his skill on the crops that would go into the dish, reducing their size.
Today’s dish was a highly concentrated nutrient-packed chicken porridge, made using the Crop Miniaturization skill.
While Sejun didn’t necessarily need to use Crop Miniaturization, Elizabeth was a dragon. Condensing the ingredients as much as possible would aid digestion and help her recover faster.
I need to score points with mother-in-law with this.
With that thought in mind, Sejun began cooking, using locust meat and various crops.
“Sniff. That smells delicious.”
104.28.193.250
“I’m
Drawn by the aroma of Sejun’s cooking, children started gathering one by one to watch.
At first, it was only children, but before long, adults began to gather as well.
“Hmm…”
After a brief moment of thought, Sejun took out a large pot, added potatoes, onions, corn, and slime meat, and began preparing soup.
“Take this and share it with everyone.”
He started distributing the soup to the crowd.
Partly out of pity, but also because he wanted to leverage the effects of his <Title: Saint of Feeding>, to gain praise and boost his four primary stats and mental strength.
“Puhuhut. Come here, get stamped, and join Sejun Company as an employee! Then you can eat three meals a day for free, meow!”
Wait, I didn’t think of that…
Thanks to Theo, Sejun also began to benefit from the effects of his <Title: Slave King>.
And then,
“Vice Chairman, tell them they can only join Sejun Company until today.”
“Puhuhut. Understood, meow!”
“Make sure to emphasize that this isn’t an everyday opportunity and that the deadline is approaching. That’ll make it more effective.”
“Meow! As expected, Chairman Park is a genius, meow! You’re amazing, meow!”
“Huhuhu.”
Sejun decided to take this opportunity to recruit more employees and taught Theo one of Earth’s marketing techniques.
The ultimate sales tactic, ‘Limited Time Offer’.
“Puhuhut. Humans, this isn’t an opportunity that comes every day, meow! If you miss today, you’ll lose your chance to join Sejun Company, meow! The deadline is approaching, meow!”
Theo immediately put Sejun’s marketing lesson into practice.
Rumble rumble.
The residents of Omid, who had no resistance to such tactics, hurriedly lined up in front of Theo to receive their stamps.
[You have recruited 50 slaves.][Due to the effects of your <Title: Slave King>, all stats have increased by 0.5.]
“Hehehe.”
While Sejun was busy turning the residents of Omid into employees, feeding them until they were full, and increasing his stats,
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Great Blackie has successfully completed the exorcism!]
Blackie woke up and barked proudly.
And then,
Kking!
[Butler! This! Look!]
Spit.
Blackie spat out the stone that had once sealed Adrous, the Demon King of Sloth, into Sejun’s hand.
[Heart of Adrous, the Demon King of Sloth]The sealing stone, now devoid of Adrous’ soul, had transformed into the demon king’s heart.
How dare you make my mother-in-law suffer?!
Crack.
Sejun crushed Adrous’ heart and continued stirring the porridge to ensure it didn’t burn.
-Sejun, Elizabeth says she wants to see you.
Anton called out to Sejun.
“Yes! Just a moment!”
Finally, the long-awaited first meeting with his mother-in-law.
Sejun quickly grabbed the pot of porridge and entered the cave.
Squish. Squish.
Chairman Park’s face must look as good as possible, meow!
Theo diligently patted Sejun’s face with his front paws, trying to help him make a good first impression.
……
This time, Sejun quietly received the facial massage.

Black Tower Administrator Area
“Is it true?! You found Omid? How?!”
“Kuhahaha. . Once again, our lucky charm Sejun found it. Right now, your dad and Sejun are in Omid, looking for your mom.”
“Kihihihi.”
As expected of my man!
Hearing Kaiser’s words that Sejun had found her mother, Aileen smiled shyly.
But then,
“What?! Sejun is with them too?!”
Aileen was taken aback.
The fact that Sejun went to visit her mother meant he was going to meet the dragon’s true form.
Sejun was in danger.
“Aileen, don’t worry. Your mother is currently…”
Kaiser reassured the anxious Aileen, explaining Elizabeth’s current condition.
She was in a severely weakened state, so there was no chance of Sejun being harmed. However…
“What?! I can’t meet my mom?!”
It seemed unlikely that Elizabeth would be able to return until her body recovered.
The last time Aileen saw Elizabeth was when she was 50 years old.
Since then, 150 years had passed, and for Aileen, who desperately wanted to see her mother, this was heartbreaking news.
“But… will Mom like Sejun?”
Aileen asked, worrying about Sejun.
“Well…”
Come to think of it, didn’t Elizabeth marry our Anton after seeing his face…
Will our Sejun be okay?
Kaiser suddenly started worrying about his future grandson-in-law.

“Hello, Elizabeth-nim. I am Park Sejun, the Tower Farmer of the Black Tower.”
“Yes. Nice to meet you.”
When Sejun introduced himself, Elizabeth replied in a warm voice, her face filled with a kind smile.
She had already developed a favorable impression of Sejun through Theo’s prior words.
Moreover, during her conversation with Anton, she learned about how much Sejun had helped the great Black Dragons and, in particular, Aileen.
On top of that, Sejun’s <Title: Dragon Race’s Helper>, which prevented him from being despised by dragons, also contributed to her goodwill.
Anton stood silently next to Elizabeth with his arms crossed, watching Sejun as if he had never praised him.
“Elizabeth-nim, please try this. It should help with your recovery.”
Sejun handed the pot of porridge to Elizabeth.
“Thank you.”
Elizabeth grabbed the pot with her massive hand.
Although the pot was large, it looked smaller than a bottle cap in her hand.
Smells delicious.
The scent emanating from the “small” pot was so rich that it completely dominated Elizabeth’s keen sense of smell.
Elizabeth tilted the pot and swallowed the entire porridge in one go.
Gulp.
The moment she swallowed,
“Huh?!”
This is so delicious!
Not only did it please her taste buds,
[You have consumed the Highly Concentrated Nutrient Chicken Porridge.][Due to the effect of the <Power: Perfect Digestion>, the benefits of the meal are increased fivefold.]
[Due to the effect of the <Power: High-Efficiency Magic Absorption>, the magic recovery rate increases tenfold.]
[All stats increase by 250.]
[Magic power increases by 500.]
[Body recovery rate increases by 500% for 10 minutes.]
She could feel her body recovering rapidly.
“Would you like some more?”
When Sejun cautiously asked
“Ahem. Perhaps?”
Elizabeth, setting aside her embarrassment, subtly pushed the pot back toward Sejun.
The taste was excellent, but more than that, the quick recovery of her body made it impossible to refuse.
“Just a moment.”
Whoong.
Sejun began preparing another batch of porridge, pulling out ingredients and imbuing them with magic.
Squish. Squish.
“Puhuhut. Elizabeth-nim, our Chairman Park is not only skilled in cooking but is also a man of many other talents, meow!”
As Theo massaged Elizabeth’s massive body, he resumed promoting Sejun.
“Hurry up, meow! Our great hybrid Chairman Park doesn’t show up every day, meow! The deadline is approaching, meow!”
Theo even applied the marketing strategy he learned from Sejun earlier that day.
“Deadline? Approaching?”
He won’t come back after today?!
Elizabeth’s face began to stiffen at Theo’s words.
Hey! Why are you using that tactic here?!
Sejun panicked.
At that moment,
“Come to think of it, there’s something that’s been bothering me. Why aren’t you calling me mother-in-law?”
“Huh?!”
“If you’ve promised a future with my Aileen, shouldn’t you naturally call me Mother-in-law? Or… don’t tell me you’re seeing my Aileen with casual intentions?!”
Elizabeth leaned her massive face close to Sejun and questioned him accusingly.
Nod. Nod.
Anton silently nodded along in agreement.
Since Kaiser and Anton had already approved Sejun as a match for Aileen, Elizabeth decided to acknowledge Sejun as well.
Though, from her perspective, Sejun’s face left much to be desired…
But if my daughter likes him.
She chose to respect Aileen’s feelings.
“W-Well, of course! I’m completely serious about this!”
“Then go ahead and call me ‘Mother-in-law.’”
“Yes! Mother-in-law!”
Yes! I’ve been acknowledged by my mother-in-law!
Overwhelmed with emotion after being accepted by Elizabeth, Sejun enthusiastically shouted the title he had only dared to call her in his heart until now.
Smirk.
A faint smile briefly appeared on Anton’s lips as he observed Sejun through the Black Dragon statue before it quickly faded.
And then,
“Puhuhut. I’ve completely sold off Chairman Park, meow!”
Theo, who had successfully sold Sejun, smiled with great satisfaction.
