TL: Hanguk
Black Tower 40th floor.
A black pig stepped foot on the sword farm.
However, there was no one at the farm. Even the usual places where weasels usually stayed were carefully inspected, but they were empty too.
Hmm Is the rumor true? That Uren-nim got money from Tolt and the guys and turned them into slaves
The rumor seed credible enough to check since the scene corroborated the unbelievable rumor.
If Uren~nim managed to get 100 billion Tower Coins from Tolt, then the remaining money would be
49.9 trillion Tower Coins.
Originally, Uren was just a pig born into an incredibly, no, enormously wealthy family.
From a young age, Uren showed potential as a pushover, readily lending money or getting scamd, with the amounts growing over ti.
Before long, the amount Uren lent and lost to scams exceeded 1 trillion Tower Coins.
Then, the elders of the family insisted that Urens father, Yuto, could not just let this go on.
Though it was a trivial amount considering the family wealth, it was a sche to build justification to usurp the next head of the family position.
But Yuto also thought it wasnt right to just leave Uren be for his futures sake.
As the head of the Daemon family, I declare this. Uren, dont even think about coming ho until youve recollected all the money youve lent and lost in scams.
Thus, pretending to acquiesce to the elders demands, Yuto kicked out Uren, empty-handed, by the solemn command of the family head.
The thought was that if the son suffered a bit, he would realize the value of money and his pushover nature would weaken.
Of course, he didnt expect Uren to get back the entire 1 trillion tower coins.
If Uren managed to bring back around 100 billion Tower Coins, he planned to persuade the elders and allow Uren to co ho, pretending to give in.
Of course, it would be tough for Uren alone, so he was prepared to send soone to help midway.
However, Yuto didnt foresee what happened next.
Uren awakened the talent: Midas Touch, which could turn his weight in eaten food into gold.
Thanks to this, Uren exploded with naivety and, far from retrieving money, he ended up lending more and getting scamd even further.
Even if he wanted to help, Uren had beco a full-fledged pushover too quickly, and it beca difficult to approach him due to his misfortune.
Ten years after Uren was kicked out from ho,
Uren, now bearing the empty title of Legendary rchant, needed to reclaim 50 trillion Tower Coins to return ho.
As a result, whenever news of Uren lending money or being scamd reached him, Yuto regretted his decision and fell ill.
So recently, he had been keeping news about Uren from reaching his ears.
And this black pig himself was a tracker hired secretly by Urens mother, Hamie, to hear news about Uren.
That pushover young master finally managed to get so money back Hamie~nim would be pleased.
Black pig Dave rushed to find Hamie with the information he had gathered.
As Dave was about to deliver the joyful news about Uren to Hamie,
Ive buried a ton of gold!
Uren, still getting scamd, shouted after burying a ton of gold under the jujube tree, just as the gray skunk Siron said.
Alright. But the tree bears gold only when left alone, so lets leave now and co back tomorrow morning. Ill just do so pruning to ensure the gold grows well and then leave.
Anyone could see it was a shallow ploy to take the buried gold once Uren left.
Understood. Lets go, Theo~nim. Tomorrow morning
Uren responded as Siron suggested and called for Theo.
Just then,
Puhuhut. Thats enough, ow!
Tak.
As Uren was clearly getting scamd, Theo, having finished calculating his fee, perford a heroic landing with a triple flip in the air from the jujube tree.
Piyo!
Tak.
Piyot also followed Theo and landed in a heroic pose.
Puhuhut. Uren, now half of that gold is mine, ow!
Theo, having landed stylishly, pointed at the spot where the gold was buried and declared boldly to Uren,
What? Why?
Uren asked with a clueless expression.
Puhuhut. Because Uren, you got scamd again, ow! Half the gold is a 50-50 fee, ow!
I its not a scam
Slap!
Co to your senses, ow! This is a jujube tree, ow! Gold cant grow on it, ow!
Theo slapped Urens cheek as he exclaid.
Ah thats true! Gold on a jujube tree I was scamd, wasnt I?
Uren, still half-doubting that he had actually been scamd.
Puhuhut. Thats right, ow! Uren has been scamd, ow!
As Theo inford Uren that he had been scamd,
Hey! What bad luck! I was almost done scamming!!!
Siron, who was interrupted by Theos arrival, started to flee hastily.
He ran exceptionally well, perhaps from much practice. Siron quickly distanced himself.
Puhuhut. You cant escape from Vice Chairman Theo, ow! Lets go, Piyot, ow!
Theo vanished from the spot as he finished speaking.
And he reappeared right beside Siron.
Puhuhut. Caught you, ow!
Grab.
Theo caught the fleeing Siron by the nape of the neck. It was Theos fast-moving technique, ow Blink.
Eek! Eat this!
The grey skunk Siron, caught by the neck by Theo, powered up his buttocks using his escape technique.
Then,
Pwoooung!
A brown fart was released from Sirons buttocks.
Kekeke. This is a stench no one can overco!
Siron imagined Theos face twisting in pain from the stench, smirking vilely.
However,
Puhuhut.
Theo, hit directly by Sirons fart, was smiling calmly.
Wha how?!
Siron was astonished to see Theo unaffected by his escape technique. Is there sothing wrong with my fart?
While Siron wondered if his fart sll was too weak,
Ppiyak!!!!
Piyot, following Theo, spat out curse words and quickly moved away. Indeed, there was nothing wrong with his own fart.
Then that guy must have no sense of sll. Otherwise, it made no sense for him to withstand his fart.
It was bad luck. Of all people, he had to run into soone with no sense of sll. The worst possible match.
Puhuhut. With just this level of fart, its impossible to beat Chairman Parks shit sll, ow!
But Theo scolded Siron with a tone as if saying, what are you trying to do with level of sll.
Having endured many of Sejuns terrible shit slls to stay by his side, such a fart was nothing to Theo.
What?! Theres a sll worse than my fart?!
Siron, who took pride in producing foul slls, looked incredulous at Theos comnt.
ow!
Theo stretched his front paws towards the sky, and a gust of strong wind arose, blowing the stench away into the sky.
Ppiyak!
[Theo~nim, here you go!]
As the stench disappeared, Piyot flew over and delivered a slave contract to Theo.
Puhuhut. Stamp it, ow!
Theo pressed for Sirons footprint as he captured the scamr Siron.
Puhuhut. As expected, Chairman Park is amazing, ow!
Theo praised Sejun for making it easy to catch Siron thanks to his shit sll.
Thus, Sejun scored a mysterious victory against Siron. However, it was probably best he didnt know he had won.
Puhuhut. Uren, this ti its 0.5 tons of gold and 150 billion Tower Coins, ow!
Yes! Ill give it to you!
Uren took out the money and settled the account.
What next, ow?! Guide , ow!
With money earned and spirits high, Theo urged Uren.
Yes!
At Theos urging, Uren started leading the way.
Urens next destination was originally the 31st floor of the tower.
He planned to go after the scamr who had sold him a completely ineffective stone, claiming it was a charm that protected against scams, for 50 billion Tower Coins.
However, seeing Theos skill in reclaiming money, Uren gained courage.
With Theo~nim, we can get the money back from those guys!
Thus, he decided to seek out those he had almost given up on getting money from and had blacklisted.
I might even be able to go ho now!
Uren guided Theo with a bright smile,
Puhuhut. Ill earn even more money and monopolize Chairman Parks knees, ow!
Theo, buoyed by the expectation of monopolizing Sejuns knees for a long ti, also followed with a bright expression.
Puhuhut. Theo~nim is smiling! He must be pleased with my assistance!
Thanks to this, Piyot could also smile brightly.
***
Black Tower 99th floor.
Sejun, who took a bath, drank banana milk, and took a long nap.
Transport.
[25,000 Vibrant Life Mugworts and 20,000 Vibrant Magical Mugworts have arrived.]
He spent 8 million Tower Coins to bring mugwort from the Green Tower,
Cuengi, lets squeeze it.
Kueng!
[Got it!]
Ppyak!
[I want to squeeze too!]
Cuengi and Black Rabbit made mugwort juice.
After producing 2.5 liters of Life Mugwort Juice and 2 liters of Magic Mugwort Juice,
Here. Keep these. Use them when its dangerous.
He prepared 10 bottles each of Life Mugwort Juice Potion and Magic Mugwort Juice Potion, adding a bit of water to the 17ml of mugwort juice to make it easier to drink, and handed them to Cuengi and Black Rabbit.
As Cuengis juicing skills improved, they could now recover 6% of life and magic power per 1ml of mugwort juice.
After preparing the mugwort juice potions for the two, Sejun mixed the mugwort juice with rice flour to make dough.
Since the Mushroom Ants couldnt drink from glass bottles, he decided to make the juice into pills, which were easier to consu.
He shaped the dough, now turned red with Life Mugwort Juice and blue with Magic Mugwort Juice, into bite-sized pieces,
[You have achieved the feat of making life mugwort pills for the first ti in the tower.]
..
.
[You have achieved the feat of making mana mugwort pills for the first ti in the tower.]
..
.
Cooking achievent ssages appeared. The cooking effect enhanced the effects of the ingredients, improving the effects of the mugwort pills.
Use them when in danger.
Kkwek!
After distributing a total of 2,000 of both types of mugwort pills to the representative of the Mushroom Ants,
Kking!
Hey! Give so too!
Fenrir, who had gently sat in front of Sejun, barked, asking for so too.
Do you want so too, Blackie?
Kking!
Give it here!
Alright.
Sejun later gave so mugwort pills for Fenrir to eat,
Chomp Ptui!
Kking! Kking!
This is bitter! I cant eat this!
Fenrir, tasting the bitterness, spat out the mugwort pills and barked fiercely. He couldnt tolerate even a bit of bitterness.
Puhuhut. Indeed, you dont know the bitterness of life because youre young.
After scoffing at Fenrir, the oldest Apostle of Destruction who couldnt handle bitterness, Sejun gave him a dried sweet potato to chew on.
Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.
Kyihihit. Kking!
Heheh. As expected, the yellow and chewy ones are the tastiest!
While Fenrir enjoyed the dried sweet potato, Sejun prepared dinner.
For dinner, he made rice flour dumplings mixed with the mugwort powder that Cuengi had made while juicing the mugwort.
Shortly after, Sejun skewered three mugwort dumplings each, piled them onto a plate, and brought it to the table.
Next to the plate, he placed a bowl filled with bean paste and honey so everyone could dip their dumplings if they wished.
With dinner preparations complete,
Summon Ajax. Summon Veronica.
He summoned Ajax and Veronica, who insisted on eating dinner only in the Black Tower.
Then,
Guys, lets eat!
He called the group together for dinner.
Kueng!
[Its so, so delicious!]
Of course, its made by Sejun hyung~nim!
Right! Sejun~nim, your cooking is the best!
Yeah. Eat a lot.
[Your soul is filled with overflowing praise.]
[ntal Strength increases by 1.]
Hehehe.
As Sejun was encouraging his companions to eat more, observing the ssages,
Kking!
I want to dip and eat too!
Fenrir put the dumpling he was holding in his mouth into the bowl of honey.
Naturally, the dumpling sank, and Fenrir put his face into the bowl to retrieve his dumpling, resulting in honey sticking all over the fur around his mouth.
Kyihihit. Kking!
Hehi. Its delicious!
Fenrir gleefully licked the honey off his face, savoring the taste.
At that mont,
Blackie, you need a bath.
Seeing Fenrir, who quickly beca a scruffy ss, Sejun comnted,
No! I just had one!
Bath was one of the few words Fenrir understood. Fenrir sneakily buried his face among the dumpling skewers, hiding his body.
Kyihihit. Kking!
Heheh. I wont get caught this ti!
Fenrir was confident as he hid again, perfectly covering his eyes and ears while hiding this ti too, but
Hehehe. Blackie, are you hiding here?
Sejun caught him by the nape and carried him off to the bath.
Kking?
I was sure I hid well, why do I keep getting caught?
Today too, Fenrir was frustrated, not understanding why he got caught.
