Jero, who began to lose his hair at the age of 25, believed that although there might be no cure for baldness on Earth, there would be a mysterious dicine to treat it inside the tower.
After climbing the tower for 7 years in search of a cure for baldness, Jero had beco the 87th ranked climber on Earth, but he had not found a cure for baldness.
‘Should I give up…’
Just as Jero was about to give up hope for a cure,
-A cat rchant selling mysterious crops appeared on the 40th floor of the tower.
Rumors reached Jero about Theo. Crops that break down fat, cure cancer, and restore vision. So, he visited with a glimr of hope.
And then,
‘I found it!’
His hope was rewarded. He had finally found it, a cure for mankind’s perennial problem of baldness! It was not a dicine but a crop…
‘I’ve been waiting for this day!!! Get lost! Baldies! That’s mine!’
“2000 Tower coins!!!”
Jero cried out, losing his sanity.
But
“2300 Tower coins!”
“2500 Tower coins!”
Jero wasn’t the only bald man who lost his sanity. Many bald hunters lost their minds when they saw the Exploding Stamina Corn introduced by Theo.
“3000 Tower coins!”
“3200 Tower coins!”
“3500 Tower coins!”
The price was rising frighteningly.
Then
“5000 Tower coins!”
Ethan, the guild leader of the Royal Knights, shouted.
“Ethan, why are you buying that?!”
The bald people were angry because Ethan had a handso face and lush blond hair.
“Sold out, ow!”
Did you have to take it all?! The bald hunters who participated in the auction looked at Ethan with resentful eyes.
Thud. Thud.
Ethan, receiving the resentful stares of the bald hunters, strode proudly over to Theo.
“Here’s 5000 Tower coins.”
50 billion for one baldness cure. It was not an easy sum to pay, but Ethan happily handed over 5000 Tower coins. To him, the baldness cure was more valuable than 50 billion.
“Take it, ow!”
Theo took the money and handed over the Exploding Stamina Corn.
And then,
Swoosh.
Ethan, who had received the Exploding Stamina Corn, touched his head and pulled his hair,
Tug.
A wig ca off, revealing his bald scalp. Ethan, too, was bald. Ethan was more popular on Earth than top movie stars and sports stars.
If it was revealed that he was bald, he would lose more than just his popularity and comrcial contract fees.
“Ethan, you too?!”
“It must have been hard.”
The bald n choked up at Ethan’s sudden coming-out.
Chew. Chew.
Ethan silently chewed the raw corn. He didn’t even feel the taste. He was only focused on whether his hair was growing back.
About a minute after he finished eating the corn,
Twitch.
Ethan felt a tingling sensation on his head. Although the auction continued, the gaze of the bald hunters was focused on Ethan.
“Sold out, ow!”
When Theo had sold all the crops he had brought,
“It’s growing!”
“Hair is growing!”
The bald hunters, who were holding their breath and quietly watching Ethan, beca excited at the sight of Ethan’s head covered with short blonde hair. They were witnessing the mont when the impossible turned into possible.
In the anti, as the hunters were watching Ethan’s hair grow,
“I want to et Han Tae-jun, ow!”
Theo t an Earth Defense Force mber and asked for Han Tae-jun.
However,
“Mr. Han Tae-jun is currently on a plane, so it will take about 10 hours before he can enter the Tower.”
Unfortunately, Han Tae-jun was on a plane from Africa to Korea.
“Got it, ow! Then I’ll co back after 10 hours, ow!”
Theo finished talking to the Earth Defense Force mber and approached Ethan. In no ti, Ethan’s head returned to its lush golden state, just as it had been before he took off the wig.
“Did you see the hair growth well, ow?!”
Theo asked the hunters, who were watching Ethan.
“Yes! Theo, you’ll bring the exploding stamina corn next ti too, right?”
The hunters, who had witnessed the miracle, excitedly asked if he could bring corn again.
“What are you talking about, ow? I still have 99 left, ow!”
Theo said, pulling out a red corn from his bag. Theo deliberately didn’t ntion that there was more because of the enthusiastic response.
“What?!”
“3000 Tower coins!”
“3300 Tower coins!”
The auction started again. Although it was less than the first ti, the exploding stamina corn was sold at around 3500 Tower coins each. It was the ergence of a new crop that would astonish the Earth.
“Then I’ll go, ow!”
Theo took so photos with the hunters and left the camp.
And then,
“Puhuhut. Wait for , ow!”
Theo ran to the 41st floor. Theo was planning to visit Ulrich, the king of the Black Orcs on the 41st floor, while waiting for Han Tae-jun.
‘I can’t just go without showing this, ow!’
It was to brag about his proof to Ulrich, who had ignored him because he didn’t have the proof of being a subordinate of the black dragon.
***
Thunk.
Sejun grabbed a handful of kernels of corn and threw them into the cornfield, which was harvested the day before.
And
“Land Moving.”
As Sejun struck the ground with Myler’s hoe
Kugung.
A 33 square ter piece of land moved, and the scattered corn kernels were planted in the field.
Since sothing was planting the corn according to his instructions without moving the ground much, Sejun was able to use the skill infinitely without consuming a large amount of magic power.
Thus, Sejun planted over 100,000 corn kernels in just one day.
“Ah, this is great!”
Krueng!
[I like it too!]
(I guess it’s love~)
When Sejun was lying on Cuengi’s belly, listening to the latest Korean pop songs sung by the golden bat that it had learned from the coin karaoke, and taking a break,
Flap. Flap.
Kellion flew over.
And then,
-Sejun, how could you do this?!
Kellion began to confront Sejun outright.
“Huh? What did I do?”
-Why did you only exchange with Kaiser’s scales?! If you needed scales, you should have co to ! Exchange with my scales too!
Kellion, who heard that Sejun had exchanged one scale with Kaiser for 100 bottles of makgeolli, ca to question him.
“Huh?! Kellion, sorry, but I don’t need scales anymore.”
There’s no point in wearing a white dragon scale tattoo in a black tower.
-Then what about my dragon tooth warriors?
When Sejun refused, Kellion offered to give a dragon tooth warrior made of his tooth. They were made for fun from teeth that had fallen out, so it wasn’t a big loss to exchange them for makgeolli.
“What?! A dragon tooth warrior?”
-Yes. Dragon tooth warrior. Rise!
Rattle.
At Kellion’s call, a magic circle was drawn on the ground, and a 3-ter-tall dragon tooth warrior erged from it.
-They don’t rest or sleep. How about 1000 makgeolli bottles for one dragon tooth warrior?
Kellion made the first proposal. He could make 10 warriors from one tooth. Moreover, scales could grow back in 100 years, but teeth took at least 10,000 years to regrow. It seed a fair deal.
However,
“I don’t think it’s going to be very useful.”
Sejun’s eyes were unimpressed looking at the dragon tooth warrior. It was too large for harvesting crops, and he had Cuengi and the Black Minotaurs for tilling the fields and doing heavy labor.
And there was no work that needed to be done 24/7. In other words, the dragon tooth warrior was useless.
Then,
-Wait! They have the ability to transform into armor!
Kellion shouted desperately as Sejun showed no interest.
“Armor?!”
If the trade item was armor, it was a different story. Sejun, who was always facing threats to his life, desperately needed armor; especially if it was made from a dragon’s tooth, he could trust its strength.
-Yes. Dragon tooth warrior, transform.
Clank.
At Kellion’s command, the dragon tooth warrior transford into a bone helt shaped like a dragon skull.
-What do you think?
“Let take a closer look first.”
Sejun examined the bone helt.
[Dragon Tooth Warrior (龍牙兵) – Helt]
→ Created by the great white dragon Kellion Mabe, from his tooth.
→ Although its overall ability is inferior to that made from dragon bones, it contains the mana of the Great White Dragon, Kellion Mabe, allowing it to regenerate over ti even if it breaks.
→ It can transform into a helt. (It adjusts its size to fit the wearer)
→ In helt form, it can transform into full-body armor at the wearer’s will.
→ Usage Restriction: Only those recognized by Kellion Mabe
→ Creator: Kellion Mabe
→ Grade: Unasurable
“Hmm….”
It looked good from the description, but he wasn’t yet sure if it could save his life.
“Cuengi, try hitting it.”
Sejun handed the helt to Cuengi. He wanted to wear and test the helt himself, but if he is unlucky he could die if other body parts broke while the helt remained intact.
Krueng?
[Can I break this?]
Cuengi asked, worried he might break the helt.
-Hahaha. Go ahead and break it.
Kellion spoke confidently, as if it was impossible. Even a monster from the 99th floor of the tower couldn’t easily scratch dragon bones.
Krueng!
[I’ll hit it then!]
Cuengi raised both hands to strike the helt.
“Ah! Wait! Let’s go sowhere else to do this.”
If Cuengi swung at the helt with full power here, the problem wouldn’t be the helt, but the farm could have been destroyed.
– There’s no need for that. Barrier.
Kellion created a barrier that isolated the surroundings.
“Thank you, Kellion. Try it, Cuengi.”
Krueng!
At Sejun’s words, Cuengi nodded his head and raised both hands, letting out a cute scream as he struck down the helt.
Kuuuueng!
Unlike the cute scream, the power was not cute at all. A trendous shockwave erupted.
“Ugh!”
It was hard for Sejun to even withstand the shockwave. If it weren’t for Kellion’s barrier, there would probably be a hole deeper than the cave where Flamie was, in the farm.
After the shockwave passed,
“Oh!”
Sejun exclaid as he checked the helt. As expected, the helt made from dragon tooth was perfectly intact without a single scratch.
-······Hahaha. What did I tell you?!
Kellion laughed heartily and quickly infused magic to restore a tiny dent of about 1mm on the helt.
‘You clumsy fool! How much good stuff did you pick up around Sejun?!’
Even though it was a tooth from 10,000 years ago, it was still his tooth that was scratched… for Kellion, it was a blow to his pride.
While Kellion was cursing Cuengi,
Swoosh.
“How does it look, Cuengi?”
Sejun asked Cuengi, wearing the bone helt.
Krueng!
[It’s good!]
Cuengi didn’t know about the design but gave a perfect score for durability, seeing the helt withstand his attack.
And
Krueng!
[Daddy, I want a helt too!]
Cuengi also requested a helt. Cuengi thought it would be fun to wear it together with Sejun.
“Cuengi wants it too?”
Krueng!
[I want to wear it with Daddy!]
“Kellion, I’ll buy this. But first, please give five dragon tooth warriors on a 10-month installnt plan.”
Since the size was adjustable, he ordered for Theo, Black Rabbit, Cuengi, and Golden Bat as well.
-Installnt?
“It ans I will pay the price for the dragon tooth warriors in installnts over 10 months.”
Sejun didn’t haggle over the price with dragons. If he inadvertently offended the dragons, his life could be in danger. Instead, like with Kaiser, he just agreed to receive the goods first and pay later.
-Then 500 bottles of makgeolli every month, agreed!
Thus, the deal between Kellion and Sejun for dragon tooth warriors was concluded.
***
41st floor of the Tower.
“Ulrich, where are you, ow?!”
Theo was wandering around calling the na of Ulrich, the king of the Black Orc tribe, in a contemptuous manner, when Ulrich, upon hearing from his subordinate that a cat was calling his na disrespectfully, ca to investigate.
“Cat rchant, what brings you here?”
Ulrich asked, watching Theo’s tail. Fortunately, Iona, the great destructive wizard, was nowhere in sight.
“Look at this, ow! I’ve got a proof mark, ow! It’s the mark that proves that I’m the subordinate of the great black dragon, ow!”
Theo lifted his left hind leg, showed the Black Dragon tattoo engraved on his paw, and bragged to Ulrich.
“That… that is?! The mark of the great black dragon?!”
Ulrich recognized it imdiately. The remnants of the ferocious aura emanating from the tattoo on Theo’s paw. The aura that flowed from it was undoubtedly that of a dragon.
“Fufufuf. Do you want it, ow?!”
Theo, laughing like a villain, asked Ulrich, who couldn’t take his eyes off his paw.
