Chapter 337: Heh, Did I Unknowingly Do Something Incredible?
TL: Hanguk
At the 99th floor of the Blue Tower.
Thud
Greetings to the Great Blue Dragon!
A doll cloaked in a blue robe kneeled on one knee in front of a giant ice sculpture in the shape of a dragon, paying respects.
Then,
-Zelga, whats the situation?
The voice of Kin Aster, the leader of the Blue Dragons, emanated from the ice sculpture.
The tower up to the 62nd floor is submerged in water, and signs of an Ice Age are apparent from the 20th floor.
-Hmm. Thats serious.
Kins voice deepened in response to the Blue Tower Farmer, Zelgas report.
While the Red Tower was accumulating the Red Dragons fire energy, causing drought and desertification, the Blue Tower was accumulating the Blue Dragons water energy, leading to heavy rains and Ice Age.
-How many Elixir of Fire are left?
About a million.
Not enough. At best, that will last about a year.
I apologize. The production of Elixir of Fire has decreased as the land for cultivating Fireblossom, the most crucial ingredient, has reduced.
Elixir of Fire, which Zelga produced through alchemy, played a role in creating intense heat that temporarily weakened the surrounding water energy when used. However, the duration of the heat was short, and its range was limited, only slightly delaying the approach of heavy rains and Ice Age.
As the two continued their conversation,
-Understood. Try a little harder for now.
Yes, I will take my leave!
The conversation ended without any significant outcomes.

Me, a Godslayer?
Sejun was unable to comprehend how he could have possibly slain a god.
Was there a god in this corn named Caiman?
Sejun briefly inspected the corn he had just harvested but soon concluded,
Nah, that cant be it.
Then
Is it Vice Chairman Theo again?
When inexplicable events occurred, it usually involved Theo, so Sejun attributed it to Theos doing.
Crunch crunch
[You have harvested Stamina Corn.]
[Your job experience has slightly increased.]
[Your proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 8 has slightly increased.]
[Due to the Cold energy imbued in the Sickle of Freshness, the expiration date of the harvested crops has increased by 5 days.]
[You have gained 70 experience points.]
Sejun continued harvesting corn.
Moments later,
Hehe, I harvested quite a lot.
Sejun felt pleased looking at the corn he had harvested.
[Your soul feels fulfilled.]
[Your Mental Strength has increased by 1.]
Along with the message, his Mental Strength increased.
Alright, time to harvest some cherry tomatoes.
Sejun then proceeded to harvest cherry tomatoes.
And once the harvesting was complete,
Phew, that feels rewarding.
[Your soul feels fulfilled.]
[Your Mental Strength has increased by 1.]
His Mental Strength increased again.
Once the harvesting of both corn and cherry tomatoes was finished,
Hyung! I caught a tuna!
Thud!
Ajax laid a gigantic tuna in front of Sejun with a proud expression. I caught such a big tuna, so praise me!
Ajax, well done.
Pat. Pat.
Sejun stroked Ajaxs head in praise.
Hyung! Make something delicious with this!
Alright, lets have tuna sashimi today!
Okay! Hyung!
Sejun began to prepare the tuna sashimi.
Theo likes tuna too; I wonder when hell show up?
Sejun set aside some of Theos favorite parts while waiting for him.
***
84th floor.
Meow
Theo, regaining consciousness, lay sprawled on the floor with a gloomy expression.
Kyoot Theo-nim, whats wrong?
Iona called out to him, worried. She was sure that the ominous energy had been extinguished, but Theos condition was unusual.
Iona, I had a dream, meow
Was it a nightmare?
Iona, thinking it must have been a nightmare since Theo had been struggling against an enemy trying to escape.
No, meow It was a happy dream, meow
Kyoot? Then why are you sad?
Because its a dream that cant come true, meow I woke up before I could hug the giant Chairman Parks knees, meow!
Theo considered the incident in his mind realm as a dream.
Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot! Stop talking nonsense and lets hurry back! Sejun-nim is waiting for us!
Thats right, meow! I, Vice Chairman Theo, still have the real Chairman Park, meow!
Enlightened by Ionas words, Theo chuckled. Now that he thought about it, all he needed to do was to make Chairman Park grow huge, meow!
This is all thanks to the inspiration I got from Iona, meow!
Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot. Really?!
Phuhuhut. Yes, meow!
Thus, Theo started the Gigantification Project for Sejun. Chairman Park is great, so he can be enlarged, meow!
Phuhuhut. First, Ill take this, meow!
Grab.
The fully motivated Theo picked up the green gem from the statue of the Crocodile God, Caiman.
Iona, collect the items from the first room, meow!
Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot. Yes!
Following Theos instructions, Iona gathered the golden statues from the first room,
Phuhuhut. Wait for me, Chairman Park, meow! I, Vice Chairman Theo, am bringing good stuff, meow!
Theo also packed items from the second room into his bundle.
Phuhuhut. Done, meow!
Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot. Im done too!
Thus, Theo and Iona completely cleared out the treasury.
Phuhuhut. Lets go quickly, meow!
Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot. Yes!
Theo and Iona headed to the 99th floor of the tower.
And
The Caiman Kingdom, which lost its racel god, royalty, capital, and treasures, quietly vanished from the 84th floor of the Black Tower.
***
Brachio-nim, I apologize. Tier-nim is currently asleep
Tier too? Understood.
After visiting the White and Red Towers, Brachio dropped by the Purple Tower.
Theres definitely something suspicious
Unable to shake her suspicion that something was off, Brachio.
Ill have to visit the Black Tower as a last resort.
Brachio flew to the Black Tower, not giving up. This time, she planned to meet Aileen, the administrator of the Black Tower, instead of Kaiser.
She thought it would be easier to deal with the younger Aileen.
And so, upon arriving at the Black Towers administrator area, Brachio was greeted by Aileen.
Grandma Brachio, hello. Are you here to trade?
Aileen received her warmly. Kikiki. Our Sejuns customer base has grown!
Trade?
Yes. If you want to trade with our Sejun, first, the contract and
Aileen explained the detailed method for trading with Sejun to Brachio.
These guys! Were they buying Samyangju and black beans among themselves?!
Thanks to that, Brachio understood why the other dragons were so diligent in cleaning the red mist.
But what is this? I feel the power of destruction here?
Ah, thats
When Aileen started explaining about the fragment of Fenrirs core,
I see. So we just need to split the dropped Tower Coins 50-50, right?
Yes. All the grandpas did that too.
Understood.
As Brachio was about to infuse magic into Fenrirs core fragment,
-Kahaha. Shall we make some money?
-Huh?! Brachio?
-Why are you here?
-Dont tell me
Kaiser, Kellion, Ramter, and Tier entered the administrator area and found Brachio with her hand on Fenrirs core piece.
Hohoho. These traitors
Brachio laughed as she looked at them, then became serious.
And
Woong.
Brachio infused magic into Fenrirs core fragment, instantly annihilating the destruction contained within.
For the original form of Brachio, it was an all-too-easy task.
Clatter
-No!
-Hey! Thats not fair!
-My tower coins!
-This is cheating!
The four dragons despaired as tower coins poured into the administrator area.
***
Slurp.
While Sejun was enjoying his coffee time after lunch,
[The towers administrator says that the power of destruction within Fenrirs core fragment has been completely annihilated.]
Aileen returned the item she had appraised.
Really? Thanks.
Sejun expressed his gratitude to Aileen and checked the options of the black orb that appeared in his hand.
[Purified Fenrirs Core Fragment]
Although the name changed as the power of destruction was removed, the color of the orb remained the same.
[Purified Fenrirs Core Fragment]
This is a fragment Fenrirs core, the god-hunting wolf and 1st seat among Apostle of destruction.
This fragment contains 0.01% of the complete cores power.
With the power of destruction completely removed, the power contained within the core has significantly diminished.
Upon consumption, all stats increase by 1000.
If there are other fragments of Fenrirs core nearby, they will be attracted to each other.
Usage restriction: All stats must be over 5000.
Grade: Unmeasurable
Despite the reduced power, it still increases all stats by 1000.
Wow.
Its great but its too great that I cant use it. The usage restriction requires all stats to be over 5000, which was too high a condition for Sejun.
As Sejun was feeling disappointed,
[A quest has been generated.]
[10th Tower Quest: Use the Purified Fenrirs Core Fragment to find other fragments of Fenrirs Core and secure the other four pieces of the gate that leads to the 10th Tower to restore the gate.]
Reward: All stats +300, 1 job combat skill
A quest message appeared.
The reward was an increase in all stats by +300 and another chance to gain a job combat skill.
But where do I start looking?
Sejun said, holding the black orb in his hand.
No attraction was felt from Fenrirs core fragment, perhaps because there were no other core fragments nearby.
Do I just have to wander around?
As Sejun pondered how to complete the 10th Tower quest
[Do you wish to support Tower Farmer Park Sejun in completing the 10th Tower quest?]
An alarm appeared in the crystal orb managing the Black Towers administrator area.
Kikiki? Of course! If not me, who else will support our Sejun?!
Aileen readily agreed.
[For the completion of the 10th Tower quest, the use of the Destruction Detector is temporarily transferred to Black Tower Administrator Aileen Pritani.]
[You have acquired the usage rights to the Destruction Detector.]
Along with the message, a new function was added to the crystal orb.
Kikiki. Sejun, just wait a little, Ill find everything for you!
Aileen hurriedly started using the crystal orb to locate the power of destruction.
And
[Black Towers Administrator Aileen Pritani, accepts to supports you in the 10th Towers quest.]
A message appeared in front of Sejun.
Huh? Aileen?
Thanks to this, Sejun also learned that Aileen was participating in the quest.
[The towers administrator is pleased to join you in the quest.]
[The towers administrator confidently says she will find all other locations of Fenrirs cores for you.]
Okay. Thanks.
With Aileens help, Sejun didnt have to wander through all the floors.
Aileen, is there any snack you want to eat?
He decided to support Aileen with snacks.
[The towers administrator says she would like to eat the pancakes you make.]
Got it. Just a moment.
Sejun went to the kitchen to fetch flour and butter and started making pancake batter.
Sizzle.
He began cooking the pancakes.
At that moment,
Stealthily.
Vice Chairman Theo, youre here?
Sejun greeted Theo without even turning around as Theo approached him from behind.
Meow! Thats no fun, meow!
Slap.
Theo grumbled as he clung to Sejuns leg.
And then,
Swoosh. Swoosh.
He vigorously rubbed his face against Sejuns knee. Phuhuhut. Chairman Parks knee, I missed you, meow!
Right. Vice Chairman Theo, did something happen when you went down there? Suddenly, there was a message saying that I killed a god named Caiman.
Phuhuhut. Thats because, meow! Chairman Park saved me in my dream, meow!
Theo still believed that his encounter with Caiman and the gigantic Sejun was a dream.
He excitedly explained to Sejun what had happened in his mind realm,
So it happened. Heh, did I unknowingly do something great?
Phuhuhut. Yes, meow! Chairman Park is amazing, meow!
The two readily accepted the absurd idea that dreams and reality could be connected.
Chairman Park, will you save me again next time, meow?
Of course! Just trust me! No matter where, Ill save Vice Chairman Theo.
Phuhuhut. Got it, meow! Vice Chairman Theo trusts only Chairman Park, meow!
Theos faith in Sejun grew even stronger.
Vice Chairman Theo, are you hungry? Eat this. I made it today.
Sejun spooned out some churu made from the tuna he had set aside and brought it to Theos mouth.
Phuhuhut. Thanks, meow!
Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.
Indeed, the churu made by Chairman Park is the best, meow! Theo became an even more devout follower as he ate the churu Sejun had prepared.
