Black Tower Administrator Area.

Khehihihi. I hope our Sejun gets stronger quickly after eating this.

Aileen laughed as she looked at the black liquid boiling in the giant pot. It was a healthy dish for Sejun.

Because Sejun gave Aileen a kiss, they met sooner than Aileen had expected, so she would deliver the food later.

Khehihihi. Now it will be complete after boiling for a day.

Aileen said as she closed the lid of the giant pot.

Just then,

Thud.

A massive dragon and a small dragon hanging from its tail entered the administrator area. It was the great golden dragon Godiella and her son Hocus.

Hello, Aunt Godiella. But what brings Hocus oppa here?

Aileen greeted Godiella and asked, looking at Hocus. Usually, only Godiella came to buy the elixir-grade cherry tomatoes.

Aileen, I can polymorph now too!

Hocus said, puffing out his nostrils strongly in response to Aileens question. He had come to brag to Aileen that he could now polymorph.

Since Hakun polymorphed at 600 years old and was called a genius, it was worth bragging about.

Having already received tremendous praise among the golden dragons, Hocuss confidence was sky-high.

Here. Look! Polymorph!

Hocus used polymorph and transformed into a blond man. Naturally, he was incredibly handsome due to his racial traits.

Though the polymorph was unstable, and horns slightly protruded from his head, they were not visible if he covered them with his hair.

Huhuhuhu. Aileen, how do I look?!

Hocus spun around, showing off his appearance to Aileen.

Khehihihi. My Sejun is still the best looking.

Watching Hocus, Aileen recalled Sejuns (handsome?) face.

No matter how you looked at it, Hocus was much more handsome, but Aileens taste was not ordinary.

Wow! Hocus oppa, you look amazing!

When Aileen praised Hocus,

Yeah! Huhuhuhu.

Receiving praise from Aileen, who was 350 years younger, made Hocus feel very pleased.

After Hocus finished showing off his polymorph,

Aileen, can you give me the white cherry tomatoes?

Godiella stated her business to Aileen.

Yes, just a moment.

Aileen took out 50 elixir-grade cherry tomatoes from her storage. These days, Aileen didnt sell elixir-grade cherry tomatoes in large quantities.

The reason was that when Aileen initially sold them to the nine dragon clans for 10 billion Tower Coins each, the stock of elixir-grade cherry tomatoes had greatly decreased.

The elixir-grade cherry tomatoes were being consumed in large quantities within the tower because Sejun, Aileen, and the Black Tower members were eating them together.

So, originally, they werent going to sell any more elixir-grade cherry tomatoes until the stock increased, but an incident occurred.

Perion, a 550-year-old hatchling of the great red dragon, succeeded in polymorphing immediately after consuming the elixir-grade cherry tomatoes.

When that news spread to other hatchling parents, they clamored for cherry tomatoes at the Black Tower.

Thus, Sejun came up with the idea to sell 50 elixir-grade cherry tomatoes every three days.

Then wouldnt it be better to just sell 500 in a month?

Aileen didnt understand, but accepted it since it was Sejuns opinion.

However,

Aileen, can you also give me 10,000 each of the peanuts and magical cherry tomatoes I ate last time?

Yes.

Now, she understood Sejuns intention. The frequent visits of the dragons had significantly increased the sales of other crops.

Mom, also get dried sweet potatoes and Garaetteoks!

And today, they even had additional sales of Hocuss snacks.

Aileen, give me 10 each of what Hocus mentioned.

No! A hundred each! Buy me a hundred each!!!

As his mother tried to buy fewer snacks, Hocus started to whine.

Oh dear.

Godiella sighed as she watched Hocus.

This thoughtless son of mine. Your father worked so hard breathing fire that his throat hurt to earn this money

Aileen, give him 100 each.

Yes!

After all, no parent can win against their child.

Huhuhuhu. Thanks, mom.

Feeling happy with his snacks, Hocus clung to Godiellas tail and acted cute.

Hmph. Youre only grateful at times like this? Go hug your dad when he comes back and thank him for his hard work. Got it?

Yes!

Although Godiella spoke nonchalantly, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly.

Aileen watched silently as Godiella and Hocus interacted warmly.

Is my Sejuns contribution points increasing well?

She quickly checked Sejuns contribution points through the crystal orb.

[Black Tower 4th Floor Flesh Eaters Extermination Contributions]

1st Place Park Sejun (17,520,042 monsters)

2nd Place Han Tae-jun (3,112 monsters)

3rd Place Leon (1,934 monsters)

..

.

The ranking was overwhelmingly dominated by Sejun, with his number increasing by about 6 million compared to before.

Khehihihi. Just 2.5 million more, and I can make Sejun stronger!

[Mid-level Administrator of the Black Tower and Tower Farmer Park Sejuns contribution have increased by 1 point.]

..

.

Khehihihi. Its rising well.

As Aileen was smiling while looking at Sejuns contribution rising through the crystal ball,

Thud.

A great purple dragon hurriedly entered the administrator area.

Hello, Aunt Zain!

Aileen greeted.

Yes, Aileen, can you give me all the elixir-grade cherry tomatoes, magical peanuts, and magical cherry tomatoes you have?

Pobis mother, Zain, demanded all crops related to magic.

Zain had heard the news that the 500-year-old Hocus had successfully polymorphed just a moment ago.

According to age order, the next in line for polymorphing was her 400-year-old Pobi.

Butwhat if Garrick, who was 350 years old, or Sylvia, who was 300 years old, polymorphed first?

She absolutely couldnt stand to see that happen!

To prevent that, Zain had urgently flown over to buy all the peanuts and cherry tomatoes that helped with magic growth.

Please wait a moment.

It was another busy day for Aileen.

***

Black Tower 99th Floor.

Alright. Lets call it a day here.

After having lunch and finishing the fruit preparation with Cuengi and the Tower Farmers, Sejun spoke in a satisfied voice.

[Your soul is filled with fulfillment from accomplishing many tasks.]

[Mental Strength increases by 5.]

In the meantime, his Mental Strength had also increased.

And then,

Everyone, gather around.

He called his companions for one last meal together. Although there was still spicy fish stew left, he could eat that alone.

After the final meal,

Guys, thank you for your hard work. Take these and enjoy them.

Sejun gave gifts to show his gratitude for their efforts.

He gave pancakes to Veronica, steamed potatoes to Zelga, and soybean paste to Orik.

Orik, seemed to like fermented food in general, so among Sejuns foods, he liked soybean paste the most.

Thank you, Sejun nim.

Thank you.

Kekekeke. Thank you. Call us again if you need anything!

Okay. Take care.

Sejun sent off Veronica, Zelga, and Orik, then went to the bedroom with Ajax and Fenrir.

Ajax, good night.

Okay! You too, hyung, good night!

Ajax lay down with his head resting on Sejuns arm and closed his eyes.

But,

Im not going to sleep! When the butler falls asleep, Ill quickly put my core in his mouth!

Fenrir showed his determination not to sleep, as he wanted to feed Sejun his 1% core fragment.

However,

Blackie, good night.

When Sejun petted Fenrirs head about twice,

Kkirorong.

Fenrir was the first to fall asleep, snoring softly.

Thus, in the early morning when everyone was asleep,

Kking!

Oh no! I fell asleep!

Fenrir hurriedly opened his eyes and looked around.

Kueoeor.

Arorong.

He saw Sejun and Ajax deeply asleep.

A perfect opportunity.

Yeah, I fell asleep on purpose! I was originally aiming for this time!

Fenrir, unable to admit that he had dozed off before a critical mission, which was unbecoming of the noble god hunting wolf and the 1st seat of apostle of destruction, convinced himself it was all part of the plan. He then placed the core fragment he had been holding into Sejuns mouth.

Squish! Squish!

Kkihihi. Kking!

Hehe. My core, go in and tell him to make something delicious!

With a desperate desire to eat something delicious, he diligently pressed the core fragment with his front paws.

Then,

Gulp.

Fenrirs core fragment slid smoothly down Sejuns throat.

Kuhk!!

Sejun, who swallowed Fenrirs core fragment, writhed in pain and fainted.

Experiencing such a strange occurrence while asleep, Sejun was indeed having an unusual experience.

As Sejun passed out,

Kkihihi. Kking?

Hehe. Therell be something delicious for breakfast, right?

Kkirorong.

Fenrir, expecting a delicious breakfast, climbed onto Sejuns chest and fell asleep.

And then,

Ugha wolf

Sejun dreamt of being pinned down and licked all over by a giant wolf.

Euheok!

Having a nightmare, Sejun woke up early.

Huh?

[You have forcibly ingested a purified piece of Fenrirs core.]

[You have absorbed a core fragment containing 1% of Fenrirs power.]

[The power of the existing Fenrirs core fragments has been combined.]

[You now have 1.0078% of Fenrirs power accumulated in your body.]

[The range to detect other Fenrirs core fragments has greatly expanded.]

[The range to detect the power of the Apostle of Destruction has greatly expanded.]

Sejun looked at the messages that appeared before him with curiosity.

Ive been forcibly ingested Fenrirs core fragments again?

Who the hell keeps forcibly feeding it to me?

Sejun hurriedly asked Aileen if anyone had entered his bedroom, but Aileen didnt know either.

Fenrir had woken up briefly at dawn. Coincidentally, at that time, Aileen had been searching for the power of destruction.

Moreover, even Paespaes was training during that time, so there were no witnesses.

Is it okay to keep eating this?

Sejun spoke in a concerned voice.

Last time, he had let it slide because the message said it saved him, but no matter how purified it was, he doubted whether he should keep eating Fenrirs core fragments.

At times like this, Theo, the thief catcher, should be here

Arorong.

Kurorong.

Someone intruded at dawn, and you guys are still sleepy?

Sejun grumbled at the two who were sleeping soundly, marked the date on the bedroom wall, and stepped outside to start his morning on the 398th day of entering the tower.

Now, all thats left is to boil the spicy fish stew.

Sejun walked around the farm, organizing his tasks for the day.

As he was walking around the farm,

[The Six Clove Garlic of Mental Strength is grateful for the farmers footsteps and lends its strength.]

[Stamina stat potential increases from 3023 to 3024.]

A message indicating an increase in potential appeared. Up to this point, it was nothing unusual

[An additional effect occurs due to Fenrirs power.]

[Stamina stat increases by 0.1.]

Once Fenrirs power accumulated in Sejuns body exceeded 1%, additional effects began to appear.

What is this?

As Sejun wondered,

[The seal of the Earths Jewel has been broken.]

[Raxol, The God of Rock Salt, who was sealed in the Earths Gem, is released from the seal.]

[Raxol, The God of Rock Salt, repays the favor to the one who released his seal.]

[Raxol, The God of Rock Salt, creates a rock salt mine on 3.3 square meters of land as a token of gratitude.]

The god, released from the Earths Jewel, repaid Sejun and departed.

A rock salt mine?

It wouldnt be regular salt, would it? Maybe golden salt? Sejun, filled with anticipation, went to find the rock salt mine.

However,

Its just regular salt

The rock salt mine created by Raxol, the God of Rock Salt, contained only regular salt.

[Raxol Road]

Raxol, The God of Rock Salt, who repaid us with a rock salt mine. He was a very stingy god.

So, to match the stingy god, Sejun also made a 1 square meter road.

Hehehe. Its give and take.

Sejun was merciless even with gods.
