Seed Shop Headquarters.

[Black Tower Farmer Park Sejun has purchased a sausage tree seed.]

[50 Tower Coins have been deposited from Park Sejuns Seed Bank account to the Seed Shop.]

[50 Tower Coins are converted into 50 Divine Power.]

[The Divine Power is distributed to Vienna, the god of sausages.]

Park Sejun bought the sausage tree seed I posted!

Vienna, congratulations.

Congratulations. Now, when the sausages grow.

Vienna, the god of sausages cheered, and the other gods congratulated her.

Thank you. Guys, take this.

Just as Vienna had received Divine Power when she was in need, she shared her Divine Power with other struggling gods.

And then,

Park Sejun!

Park Sejun!

The non-combat gods chanted Sejuns name in unison. Of course, their voices were too faint to reach Sejun.

At that moment,

Thud. Thud.

Thats a lot of noise.

A giant combat god passed by, muttering a word, and the non-combat gods became as quiet as dead mice.

But they didnt feel as miserable as before.

Thanks to the Divine Power given by Sejun, no gods were disappearing due to a lack of Divine Power, and sealed gods were gradually returning.

As the footsteps of the combat god receded,

Park Sejun.

Park Sejun.

They began to chant Sejuns name quietly.

Now that Park Sejuns Seed Shop rank has risen to Transcendence, we can sell more expensive seeds!

Lets quickly post Transcendence-rank seeds in the Seed Shop!

Then Ill post this! Dragon fruit!

The gods eagerly awaited the opening of the next Seed Shop, filled with anticipation.

A small but positive change was occurring among the non-combat gods.

TL NOTE: There is actually a tree that is named as Sausage tree. Search on google for more info.

Good. About 1 million servings left. Lets work hard today too, guys!

Puhuhut. I, Vice Chairman Theo, can keep going as long as Im by Chairman Parks side, meow!

Kueng!

[Cuengi is always energized!]

Yeah! Hyung! Just trust me!

Yes!

I will work hard today as well!

Kelkelkel. Leave it to us!

Theo, Cuengi, Ajax, and the other Tower Farmers responded energetically to Sejuns words.

There was a reason the other Tower Farmers enthusiastically followed Sejuns orders.

It was because

I love eating the food Sejun-nim makes! If it werent for Aileen-nim, I wouldve kidnapped him. Its a shame.

For lunch, Sejun-nim will give us delicious steamed potatoes again, right?

Kelkelkel. If I stay here, I can avoid Grave-nims nagging and enjoy a delicious lunch

It was because of the meals Sejun made for them.

Thanks to that, they worked joyfully, looking forward to their meals.

As everyone was focused on preparing ingredients,

Kking!

After eating that yellow, chewy thing, I feel stronger!

Fenrir, who had eaten roasted sweet potato slice made from golden sweet potatoes infused with Blue Moons energy for the first time, was excited beside Sejun.

Kking!

Hey! Give me more!

Fenrir barked, sitting in front of Sejun, asking for more roasted sweet potato slices.

However,

No. If you eat too many snacks, you wont be able to eat your meal later.

Since Sejun planned to make fish porridge with fish fillets for lunch, he didnt want Fenrir to fill up on other food, so he didnt give him any more roasted sweet potato slices.

Kking

Youre mean

Realizing that Sejun had no intention of giving him more roasted sweet potato slices, Fenrir walked out of the kitchen with a disappointed look.

But it was all an act to deceive Sejun.

Thump. Thump.

As soon as Fenrir left the kitchen, he ran with vigorous steps to the place where the Creator Gods Tablet was.

Kihihi. Kking!

Hehe. I have a secret stash!

Fenrir went to his secret stash, pulled out various items, ate until he was full, and then lay down on the ground

Kirorong.

and fell asleep.

Of course, at lunchtime, with a full belly, Fenrir could only eat a little of the fish porridge Sejun made.

Kking

I shouldve eaten more

Pat. Pat.

As Sejun stroked the belly of Fenrir, who was lying on his back looking disappointed,

Its finally the last one.

He swallowed the last of Aileens healthier meatball piece.

Gulp.

[You have consumed a piece of Aileens Healthier Meatball.]

[You have consumed all 500 pieces of Aileens Healthier Meatball.]

[All stats increase by 300.]

Along with the message, Sejun felt a surge of power throughout his body.

[All stats have exceeded 2000.]

[Your status has increased.]

[The potential of all stats increases by 500.]

[Resistance to other energies increases by an additional 10%.]

At the same time, as all his stats reached 2000, his resistance increased further.

Aileen, thank you. Ive become stronger thanks to you.

Sejun expressed his gratitude to Aileen after consuming all the meatball pieces.

[The Towers Administrator says she is glad that you have become stronger.]

[The Towers Administrator says that the necklace charging is almost complete, and she will give you a specially prepared dish the next time she meet you.]

[The Towers Administrator says her cooking skills have greatly improved and you can look forward to it.]

Yeah

There was more.

Sejuns expression darkened considerably.

Texas, USA.

Hunters unintentionally caused a massive breeding of the Flesh Eaters as they hunted them.

The seeds of the Flesh Eaters took root in the ground and grew rapidly, only to be hunted again by the hunters.

After several repetitions over a few days, the number of Flesh Eaters increased exponentially, outpacing the hunters ability to kill them.

Now, the hunters were facing the consequences of their actions.

Run away!

The hunters fled from the Flesh Eaters.

However,

Wriggle. Wriggle.

Green stems wrapped around the legs of the hunter at the back.

Argh!

The captured hunter quickly stood up and cut the stems entangling his legs, but by then, dozens more stems had wrapped around his body.

And then,

Wriggle. Wriggle.

More stems tightly bound the hunter, preventing him from escaping, and dragged him back to the main body.

And then,

Ahh! Save me

Crunch.

The head of the Flesh Eater swallowed the hunter whole.

Behind the Flesh Eater that swallowed the hunter, tens of thousands of Flesh Eaters followed.

Crack. Crack.

The Flesh Eaters moved their roots slowly in the direction where the other hunters had fled.

In that direction was Austin, the capital of Texas.

***

Alright. Lets start cooking now.

Since making 5 million servings in a day was impossible, Sejun began with soups that took a long time to prepare.

The types of soups were sweet potato soup and potato soup.

Expand.

Using the Guardian Wooden Shield, Sejun created firewood and placed it in two hearths.

The Unending Staff, which used to be the firewood maker, had already been exhausted long ago. Contrary to its name, it no longer extended, and Sejun had given it a proper farewell through cremation.

While putting firewood into the hearths and boiling the soup,

[Battler, the creator of the Guardian Wooden Shield and the God of Battle, does not allow the use of this divine relic.]

Crack.

With the message, sparks flew from the shield.

Ugh!

Feeling a jolt, Sejun dropped the shield.

Chairman Park, are you okay, meow?!

Kueng?!

[Dad, are you okay?!]

Theo, who was clinging to Sejuns knee, and Cuengi, who had come to help with cooking, hurriedly asked.

It was natural for them to worry as Sejun seemed to be in pain.

Im fine. But what is this?

Not permitted?

Sejun recalled the message and examined the Guardian Wooden Shield.

Then,

Usage Restriction: Strength 500 or above, Stamina 500 or above, Farmer not permitted

A new condition, Farmer not permitted, was added to the usage restrictions. He had been using it just fine until now, so why the sudden change?

Guess Ill have to go chop wood from now on.

Sejun spoke nonchalantly as he pondered where to get wood.

Meow! This shield bullied Chairman Park, meow!

Kueng!

[Cuengi will punish the shield that hurt Dad!]

Theo and Cuengi glared at the Guardian Wooden Shield, thinking about how to punish it.

Unlike that useless farmer, you two seem worthy of using my shield. I am Battler, the God of Battle, the creator of this divine relic Guardian Wooden Shield. I will allow the warrior who grabs the shield first among you to use my divine power.

They heard the arrogant voice of the God of Battle, Battler.

But,

Meow?! Did you just call our Chairman Park useless, meow?!

Kueng?!

[Did you just insult Cuengis Dad?!]

It only fueled their anger further.

Kueng!

[You hurt Dad and insulted him!]

Unable to contain his anger, Cuengi threw the Guardian Wooden Shield high into the air.

Kueng!

[Cuengis Ten Thousand Step Punch!]

He launched his fist towards the sky.

Cuengis new technique was designed to attack an enemy ten thousand steps away, ensuring Sejun wouldnt get hurt.

Of course, it could attack even more distant enemies.

Bang!

With Cuengis punch, the shield shattered into pieces, creating a loud explosion in the sky.

At that moment,

You fool! How dare you destroy my divine relic!

A red aura descended from the sky towards Cuengi.

Cuengi, its dangerous, meow!

Theo quickly used his Meow Step to stand in front of Cuengi, and the red aura was absorbed into Theos body.

Puhuhut. Giant Chairman Park, please take care of

Theo collapsed.

Next to the Seed Shop Headquarters was the Combat Shop Headquarters.

Just as the non-combat gods sold seeds in the Seed Shop Headquarters, the combat gods sold weapons and combat skills in the Combat Shop Headquarters.

Of course, the scale and grandeur were vastly different. The Combat Shop Headquarters was much larger and more splendid, fitting the massive bodies of the combat gods.

In one of the rooms in the Combat Shop Headquarters,

Kuhaha. Finally found it!

The God of Battle, Battler, who had been searching for his divine relic, the Guardian Wooden Shield, with his eyes closed, opened them.

But,

Why is my divine relic being used by some insignificant farmer?

He soon frowned. An insignificant farmer was using his divine relic as firewood.

This bastard!

So, he set usage restrictions to prevent the relic from being used.

Is there any warrior around worthy of using my divine relic?

Using his divine relic, he scanned the surroundings.

And,

Oh! There are! And two of them at that. Both are exceptional warriors!

He informed the two that the warrior who grabbed the shield first would be allowed to use his divine power.

But this fool! How dare he destroy my divine relic!

Battler, enraged, descended his soul through the divine relic.

Now that it had come to this, he planned to take over the body of the one who destroyed it and steal the Tower Coins from those around him before returning.

However, Theos intervention changed his target.

Well, a cats body is also usable

Battler thought it was no big deal as he tried to seize Theos spirit and dominate his body.

But,

-How can there be a spirit body larger than mine

Battler, who had entered Theos mental world, was startled by the gigantic spirit towering over him. The spirit was at least three heads taller than he was.

What was even more startling was that this gigantic spirit wasnt the owner of the body. What? Was there someone who entered before me?

As Battler racked his brain to figure out who the opponent was,

Giant Chairman Park, teach him a lesson, meow!

Theo, clinging to the giant Sejuns knee, pointed at Battler and shouted.

Thud. Thud.

The giant Sejun charged at Battler and threw a punch.

Bang!

But the giant Sejun was knocked down by Battlers uppercut. His fighting skills were just as they were in reality.

-Kuhahaha. How dare you challenge me, the God of Battle, Battler, with such skills!

Bang! Bang!

Laughing, Battler approached the giant Sejun and began to beat him up.

However,

Giant Chairman Park, get up, meow! Chairman Park is invincible, meow!

This only turned Theo, Sejuns Knees devout follower, into an even stronger fanatic.

Chairman Park isinvincible

Fueled by Theos unwavering belief, the giant Sejun grew even larger.
