99th floor of the Black Tower.
– How can the Apostle of Destruction enter the tower?
– I thought the Apostle of Destruction only appears when the Black Moon has fully arrived…
Kaiser and Kellion were having a serious conversation over drinks.
– More than that, Kellion, did you feel sothing from the bronze coin?
– Yes. I felt the energy of a place called Elysian.
Elysian was the na of a world that the White Tower failed to protect about 1000 years ago.
– Kellion, you felt the energy of Elysian?
– Kaiser, did you feel the energy of sowhere else?
– Yes. I felt the energy of Orton.
Orton was a world that the Black Tower failed to protect 1500 years ago. They hadn’t expected the Apostles of Destruction to be directly absorbing the energy of the destroyed worlds.
– If we defeat the Apostle of Destruction, perhaps we can liberate the energy of the world he consud and recreate the destroyed world. Kellion, what do you think?
– It’s a possibility. But did the Apostle of Destruction invade other towers as well?
Kellion started to worry about the White Tower.
– I’m not sure. Maybe the seventh head of Hydra got lucky, or there’s a way to enter without being detected by the tower.
– We should inspect the tower, just in case.
– Just a mont…
Before Kaiser could hold him back, the white dragon statue stopped.
– Darn. I wanted to boast about Sejun’s accomplishnts… Hmph. Fine.
Kaiser drank alone, regretting not being able to boast about the feat Sejun achieved.

Thud.
The Black Orcs brought up objects they dug from the ground. Fragnts of swords, shields, armors, etc. Most were broken, indicating the strength of Cuengi’s attack.
Only a small amount of tower coins, worth a few thousand, could be salvaged. Sejun handed the small amount of money to the Black Wolves and the Black Orcs.
Around the ti when the search of the secret hideout of the Three Head Society was about to end,
“Chairman Park! Hurry over here, ow!”
Theo, who had been wandering around out of boredom, suddenly called Sejun with an urgent voice.
“Vice Chairman Theo, could it be?!”
Sensing sothing unusual about Theo’s urgency, Sejun hurriedly asked.
“That’s right, ow! My paw is being strongly drawn to sothing, ow!”
Theo extended his paw forward and exclaid.
“Really?! As expected, Vice Chairman Theo! Where?”
Theo’s emphasis on ‘strongly’ made Sejun believe this was an opportunity to find a rare item.
“Puhuhut. Over there, ow!”
Theo replied and clung to Sejun’s knee. Now’s the perfect ti for him to show off.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, hurry and move over there, ow!”
Following Theo’s pointed paw, Sejun arrived at a cliff that had collapsed.
“Dig there, ow!”
Theo pointed to one side of the cliff.
“There…?”
“Are you doubting my paw, Chairman Park, ow?!”
“No, of course not! Land Moving!”
Sejun used Myler’s hoe to start digging at the cliff upon seeing Theo’s instant annoyance.
“Land Moving!”
“Land Moving!”
After about 10 digs,
Thud.
“Huh?”
The wall collapsed, revealing a small room behind it. And in the center of the room was a small wooden box.
Sejun cautiously opened the box to find,
“Huh? Beans?!”
Inside were three beans, each the size of a 500-won coin.
[Sky-reaching Bean]
→ Plant it, and in 7 days, it will grow tall enough to touch the sky.
→ It has a short lifespan due to its rapid growth.
→ When consud, height increases by 3cm.
→ Grade: C-
“Why is this…?”
This item was below grade B, not sothing that should be detected by Theo’s paw.
‘That’s it!’
Munch munch.
Gulp.
Sejun was convinced that Theo’s paw had made a mistake after he received Kaiser’s claw. Nevertheless, he swallowed one of the Sky-reaching Beans.
[You have consud the Sky-reaching Bean.]
[Your height has increased by 3cm.]
Sejun, who had always wanted to reach 180cm in height, said,
“Let’s go.”
Having achieved his lifelong wish of reaching 180cm, he consoled himself that it was a satisfactory outco, and took Theo outside.
Although his clothes beca a bit short, it was a small price to pay for seeing the world from 3cm higher.
“ow…”
Seeing Sejun’s lackluster reaction, Theo looked at his own paw with a gloomy face.
When they ca out,
Whoosh!
Theo suddenly felt a strong force tugging at his front paw.
“ow?! Chairman Park! The direction of the attraction has changed, ow!”
Theo suddenly stretched his front paw towards the sky and said.
“What do you an the direction suddenly changed?”
“I don’t know either, ow! Suddenly my front paw… ow?”
While speaking, Theo’s body slightly lifted and then descended. An imnse attraction. It was clear that this was an incredible item. And he seed to understand why Theo’s front paw didn’t point straight to the sky but led them here first.
‘It wasn’t that Kaiser’s claw broke it, but rather Theo’s front paw got upgraded!’
Planting the Sky-reaching Bean to go to the sky. It had guided them to find an item that would allow them to ascend first. A strategy guide function was added to Theo’s front paw.
“What? Why has Vice Chairman Theo’s front paw performance improved so much?”
“Puhuhut. That’s right, ow! Now that I am Vice Chairman Theo, my front paw has also grown, ow!”
Thanks to that, Theo’s pride soared once again.
“We have to plant this first, right?”
Sejun planted the Sky-reaching Bean in the center of the field created by Cuengi.
[You have planted the Sky-reaching Bean in magic power-infused soil.]
[Due to the effect of Magic Seed Sowing Lv. 6, the probability of the sky-reaching bean rooting increases.]
[Due to the effect of Magic Seed Sowing Lv. 6, the growth speed of the sky-reaching bean increases for 24 hours.]
[9984499 tis left until the job quest is completed.]
Woosh.
The bean grew at an astonishing speed, audible by the sound of its roots digging.
“Create Thundercloud. Rainfall.”
Sejun hurriedly created a small cloud to rain, just in case the sky-reaching bean dried up and died.
And once the roots were firmly in place,
“Let’s go back for now.”
Knowing it would take ti for the beanstalk to grow, Sejun decided to co back in a few days and returned to the persimmon farm with his group.
As they returned to the persimmon farm, even though it was past quitting ti, the moles were seen diligently sowing seeds in the field with the Black Orcs.
“They are working hard even forgetting to go ho.”
Sejun looked at the moles with pride.
However,
“Sow nonstop for the great Black Dragon! Anyone slacking will have their back broken!”
“Of course! Who would dare to slack? If anyone does, I’ll break their arms and legs too!”
Doo doo……..
Upon closer inspection, the moles were working as if their lives depended on it due to the intimidating words of the Black Orcs. No matter how enjoyable the work, nothing beats going ho after work.
“Everyone, take a break!”
Sejun hurriedly stopped the work and sent the moles ho from their hellish overti. Feeling sorry for unintentionally making them work late, he gave them an additional 100g of at.
“We will go to the secret passage tomorrow.”
As it was getting late, Sejun decided to call it a day after dinner.
“Golden bat, tell Ulrich we’ll go to the secret passage tomorrow.”
(Yes!)
The golden bat, which had been quietly hiding on Cuengi’s back, quickly conveyed Sejun’s words to Ulrich.
A mont later,
Rumble.
The busy movents of the Black Orcs could be heard.
“Where are you guys going?”
When Sejun asked Ulrich, who was leading the Black Orcs,
“We’re going hunting.”
“Hunting?”
“Yes. Please wait a mont! The scouts say they’ve found a giant mole guarding the waypoint!”
A giant mole guarding the waypoint? That’s Dooku!
“Wait! Everyone stop!”
Sejun quickly halted the Black Orcs.
“What’s the matter? Did we do sothing wrong?”
Ulrich asked, observing Sejun’s reaction.
“Ulrich. Hunting is prohibited here.”
Co to think of it, to feed so many Black Orcs, hunting was the only way.
And if they hunted in the 49th floor, the prey would inevitably be the moles, which ant fewer workers for Sejun’s farm in the future. It was like cannibalizing their own resources. He had to prevent this.
“Then… what should we…?”
The Black Orcs couldn’t be left starving, so a plan was needed. Sejun naturally had a plan.
“I’ll provide dinner.”
Clank.
Sejun opened the void storage.
“You’re personally offering this, Lord Sejun?”
“Yes, Crop Gigantification.”
As Sejun responded, he used his skill on a power sweet potato, which grew to a size of 3 ters in an instant.
“How can this be!”
Ulrich was astonished as if he had witnessed a great miracle.
‘Hehehehe. With just this…’
Externally, Sejun pretended to be nonchalant, but internally, he was quite pleased.
“Here.”
As Sejun handed the giant sweet potato to Ulrich and was about to enlarge another sweet potato,
Krueng!
[Cuengi is hungry!]
Cuengi stretched out his front paw to Ulrich, asking for the giant sweet potato.
“Well… Of course! Lord Cuengi, please eat!”
Ulrich courteously handed over the giant sweet potato to Cuengi. Ulrich was convinced that Cuengi was a Hatchling. After all, the only being that could call the great black dragon, Sejun, ‘father’ was his offspring, a Hatchling.
And recalling Cuengi’s enormous superhero landing attack that destroyed the secret hideout of the Three Head Society earlier, Ulrich began to regard Sejun with even more reverence. If a casual jump attack from a Hatchling was that powerful, then Sejun would be…
Krueng!
[Thank you!]
While Cuengi energetically ate the sweet potato, Sejun enlarged other crops like potatoes and corn and distributed them to the Black Orcs.
By the ti he enlarged roughly 15,000 crops,
[Using Crop Gigantification on Stamina Corn.]
[The corn’s inherent magic is forcibly channeled into its growth.]
[Your proficiency in Crop Gigantification Lv. 3 has slightly increased.]
[Your proficiency in Crop Gigantification Lv. 3 is filled, and the level increases.]
The Crop Gigantification skill level increased to level 4, and a new effect was added to the skill.
– There’s a 10% chance that the crop’s enlarged size will be tripled.
Thanks to this, the work was completed faster.
Once the Black Orcs were provided with food,
“Chairman Park, I’m hungry, ow! I want the Churu that Chairman Park sincerely made specifically for , ow!”
Theo, who had been waiting for Sejun to finish, requested tuna porridge.
“Okay.”
Feeling proud when Theo specifically requested his homade tuna porridge, Sejun quickly retrieved a jar of tuna porridge from the void storage.
“Here.”
He poured it into a small dish and handed it to Theo.
Slurp, slurp.
While Theo was eating the tuna porridge, Sejun also had his late dinner.
Then,
Tip-toe. Tip-toe.
Lick. Lick.
Suddenly, Cuengi, who had sneaked up quietly, was fervently eating from Theo’s jar of tuna porridge.
KueHehehe. Krueng!
[KueHehehe. Big brother’s food is so delicious that Cuengi can’t resist eating it secretly!]
Cuengi, who had rrily eaten all of Theo’s tuna porridge, was trying to sneak away.
He had aid for a perfect cri, but
Krueng? Krueng!!
[Huh? Cuengi’s face is stuck!]
Upon finishing and trying to pull his face out, Cuengi found it trapped in the jar.
Krueng!
[Cuengi is in big trouble!]
“Chairman Park! Cuengi is eating my churu, ow!”
And so, Cuengi was easily caught. It seed detective work was more suited for Cuengi.
