TL: Hanguk
Black Tower, 99th floor.
“Alright.”
As Sejun woke up and opened his eyes,
[The seal of the Earth’s Jewel has been broken.][Fossil, the God of Fossils, who was sealed in the Earth’s Jewel, is released from the seal.] (TL: Like in the previous cases, the name ‘Fossil’ is in English and ‘God of Fossils’ is in Korean.)
[Fossil, the God of Fossils, repays the favor to the one who released his seal.]
[Fossil, the God of Fossils, buries a fossil he cherished in a 3.3 square meters area of land to repay his benefactor.]
Messages appeared.
“A fossil?”
It obviously won’t be a gem, and it’s not something to eat either.He didn’t expect much at all.
‘But I still have to check.’
“Meow…”
Kking…
Sejun got up, taking Theo and Blackie. For reference, Eomdol was sleeping, clinging to Blackie’s fur.
Swish.
Marking the date on the wall, Sejun started the 421st day morning.
“So, where might the fossil be?”
Sejun went outside and wandered around the farm to find where the fossil was buried, but
“I can’t see it…”
The fossil was buried in the ground, so there was no sign of it from the outside. But he couldn’t dig up all the land where crops were planted just to find the fossil.
“Ugh. Why did you bury it in the ground, making it hard to find?”
Fossil-nim gets 0 square meters.
Thus, the first god who repaid the favor but didn’t receive a temple was born.
A little later,
Kueng!
[Dad, good morning!]
Gurgle.
Cuengi gave a morning greeting along with a loud stomach growl, and
“Wait a moment.”
Sejun hurriedly prepared breakfast.
104.28.193.250
“Alright. Let’s eat.”
Today he simplified the menu with grilled fish.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, is it a grilled fish party today?”
Thanks to this, Theo was even more excited than usual, seeing the pile of grilled fish in front of him.
And then,
“Meow?! Why isn’t Eomdol eating grilled fish, meow?!”
Theo asked Eomdol, who was standing idly next to Blackie.
“Me? I usually don’t eat.”
Eomdol, whose body was made of rock, didn’t need to eat. He could just absorb things around him to grow when he wanted to.
However,
“Meow! What nonsense you are saying when you have a mouth, meow?! Join the grilled fish party quickly, meow!”
Theo, who didn’t like that Eomdol wasn’t participating in the grilled fish party, forcibly put a small piece of grilled fish into Eomdol’s mouth.
“Huh?!”
Eomdol tried to refuse, but Theo’s front paws were incredibly fast, and
…!
Eomdol was surprised when grilled fish suddenly entered his mouth.
“Puhuhut. Eomdol, how is it, meow?!”
“It’s… delicious?”
Why is it delicious? No, before that, why can I taste it?
Eomdol answered in a voice filled with both joy and confusion.
Unbeknownst to Eomdol, Blackie had created a new core for him with the power of creation, replacing his lost core.
And that gave Eomdol the ability to taste.
“Puhuhut. Of course, meow! It’s delicious because it’s grilled fish made with Chairman Park’s sincerity, meow! Eat more, meow!”
Feeling proud to have introduced Eomdol to the delicious taste of grilled fish, Theo placed a whole grilled fish in front of him.
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Eomdol, eat this too!]
Blackie also sneakily passed Eomdol the parts he found annoying to eat.
So, everyone enjoyed their grilled fish,
“Chairman Park, I, Vice Chairman Theo, am going to work, meow!”
Kueng!
[Dad, Cuengi is also going to work too!]
Theo and Cuengi each set off to their respective workplaces.
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. Hey! I’m going to work too! Eomdol, let’s go!]
“Yes!”
Although they were just going to play with the Destruction Devourers nearby, Blackie also claimed he was going to work, dragging Eomdol along.
“Alright. Have a good day at work.”
Sejun responded to Blackie’s words and began planting the Destruction Devourer seeds.
***
1st floor of the Green Tower.
“Puhuhut. Neta Tribes, I have arrived, meow!”
Theo, having arrived at the Green Tower, announced his arrival.
“Let’s start the auction, meow!”
I’ll sell quickly and return to Chairman Park, meow!
To leave early, Theo immediately began auctioning off the crops he brought.
And then,
“All sold out, meow!”
Once again, Theo the sellout king easily sold out all the crops.
Puhuhut. As expected, I, Vice Chairman Theo, am excellent, meow!
As Theo was feeling proud, putting his front paws on his waist,
“Theo~nim.”
“Meow?! Egel, why did you call me, meow?”
Egel, the Saintess of Destruction and boss of the 97th floor of the Green Tower, approached Theo.
“I think I’ll have to return to the 97th floor of the tower soon.”
“Meow?! What’s the matter, meow?!”
Could she be running away, meow?!
Theo looked at Egel with a fierce expression.
“Actually…”
Egel began to explain the reason.
Fortunately, it wasn’t about running away. Recently, a force that had come up from the 93rd floor of the tower was encroaching on Egel’s territory, so she was planning to go to war.
In the past, Egel would have opted to invade the 93rd floor of the tower herself, but recently the forces on the 93rd floor had grown too strong.
“Puhuhut. Egel, don’t worry, meow! I, Vice Chairman Theo will solve it, meow!”
Theo hurriedly shouted after hearing Egel’s story.
Not because he wanted to solve an employee’s problem as Vice Chairman, but
Meow! I remembered, meow!
He recalled what the Immortal Clan members had said about the real power on the 93rd floor of the tower.
He couldn’t miss the opportunity to acquire a large number of slaves.
Moreover,
“Puhuhut. This time, it’s going to be a teamwork between Chairman Park and me, Vice Chairman Theo, meow!”
Theo was excited at the thought of going to the 93rd floor with Sejun to make many slaves.
“Quickly get the land deed for the 93rd floor of the tower, meow!”
He sent out members of the Immortal Clan to get the land deed for the 93rd floor of the Green Tower.
As Theo was about to leave after arranging for the land deed,
“Theo~nim, I know a merchant who has many land deeds. Should I call him? He’s on the 35th floor of the tower, so he should be here soon.”
Agni asked Theo.
“Puhuhut. Call him, meow!”
The more land deeds, the better, meow!
Theo postponed his return home at the words that the merchant would arrive soon.
Three hours later.
The merchant Agni had called still hadn’t arrived.
Thanks to this, Theo’s return time was greatly delayed.
“Meowng…”
It’s taking too long, meow!
It was long past the time to return to Sejun’s lap, so he became very irritated.
At that moment,
“Ah. Agni~nim, why call me to such a shabby shop?”
A turtle grumbled as it slowly walked over.
‘Meow! Did he just call the Great Chairman Park’s shop shabby, meow?!’
Already annoyed by the waiting, Theo was furious that the turtle insulted the shop he had diligently maintained so that the Great Chairman Park wouldn’t be insulted.
Thunk.
Theo, enraged, jumped off the roof and landed in front of the turtle with a superhero landing pose.
“What is this?! How dare you block the path of the legendary merchant, Golden Land Turtle Turbo?!”
Turbo shouted angrily at Theo, who suddenly blocked his way.
“You’re the one who dared to call the great Chairman Park’s shop shabby, meow! I’ll teach you a lesson, meow!”
Snap.
As Theo shouted while extending his dragon claws,
“Hmph! You can’t even scratch my shell with those thin claws!”
My shell is the strongest shield and weapon!
Not knowing that Theo’s claws were dragon claws, Turbo confidently removed his shell and wore it like a shield, then charged at Theo.
And then,
“Puhuhut. Sign it, meow!”
“Yes! I’ll sign!”
Seeing his shell torn like a piece of paper by Theo’s dragon claws, Turbo hurriedly stamped the slave contract.
***
Seed Shop Headquarters.
“Sniff, sniff. It’s really a precious fossil… Why…”
“Fossil, just wait a little longer. It’s because Park Sejun hasn’t discovered the fossil yet.”
“Sniff. When Park Sejun eventually finds my fossil, he will build a temple for me, right?”
“Of course, even Perl…”
Leah comforted Fossil, who had not received a temple from Sejun.
“Leah~nim, thank you. I feel a bit better now.”
“Alright. Now go hang out with others.”
“Yes!”
As Fossil went to join the other gods,
“I should pay back some of the divine power today.”
Leah, having excess divine power for the first time, left the Seed Shop Headquarters and went to find Hel, the god of merchants.
Slide.
Opening the door to Hel’s building,
“Turbo, no! Run away! Theo is a scoundrel!”
She saw Hel screaming.
And then,
“No! Even you, Turbo, have fallen into Theo’s evil clutches…”
Something seemed to have gone wrong, as Hel grabbed her head in despair.
I should come back later.
Leah quietly closed the door and left.
After Leah had left,
“This won’t do. I need to warn the remaining legendary merchants about Theo.”
As Hel decided to issue a Theo alert to the legendary merchants of the tower,
Bang!
“Hel! Give me back my divine relic!”
A giant man burst through the door opposite the one Leah used and shouted loudly.
It was Thunder, the god of storms, who had pawned his divine relic, the Thunderbolt Staff, at Hel’s pawnshop.
[Cuengi Park has blocked conversations for 3 days.]
Thunder had been blocked for the third time after telling Cuengi to stop being an herbalist.
Hmph. A true warrior’s blood boils at the sight of an excellent weapon.
He planned to show his greatest divine relic, the Thunderbolt Staff, to awaken the warrior’s blood flowing in Cuengi once the block was lifted in three days.
Of course, it was a completely futile effort. Even with the Thunderbolt Staff, Cuengi had no intention of becoming a warrior.
“The Thunderbolt Staff? I don’t have it.”
“What?! Then where is it?!”
“I sold it.”
Hel couldn’t bring herself to admit that it had been taken away due to her pride.
“Why did you sell my divine relic without permission?!”
“You should have repaid your divine power debt on time. Tell the other war gods that if they don’t repay their divine power debts, I’ll sell all their divine relics too.”
Hel showed a very cold attitude, unlike when she was dealing with Theo. As expected, she wasn’t the God of Merchants for nothing.
“Damn it!”
Bang!
After Thunder slammed the door and left,
“Legendary merchants, if you encounter a yellow cat, run away immediately no matter what!”
Hel sent a warning to the legendary merchants who had not yet become Theo’s slaves.
***
99th floor of the Black Tower.
[You have harvested the Exploding Stamina Corn.]…
..
.
Sejun, who had spent the morning planting Destruction Devourer seeds, harvested corn in the afternoon.
And then,
Kihihit. Kking!
[Heehee. Guys, follow me!]
“Yes! Follow the great Blackie!”
Kiki!
Kiki!
Blackie, leading Eomdol and the Destruction Devourers, was engrossed in playing leader.
At that moment,
Sniff sniff.
There’s something here!
Blackie’s nose caught a suspicious scent.
‘It’s something good!’
Swish swish swish.
Reacting to the pleasant smell, Blackie’s tail wagged vigorously.
Kking!
[It’s here!]
Thwack thwack thwack.
Blackie began digging into the ground with his front paws.
A moment later.
“Hey! Who said you could dig holes in the field!”
Sejun ran over to scold Blackie, who was digging a hole in the middle of the sweet potato field.
However,
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Heehee. Haa! Look at this! I found it!]
Unlike usual, Blackie barked proudly instead of running away.
“What is it?”
When Sejun looked down at the hole Blackie had dug,
Oh?!
“Ah, this must be the fossil!”
He saw shining yellow gemstones. They were amber.
And,
[Amber containing a Plum Seed]One of the many amber pieces caught Sejun’s eye.
[Amber containing a Plum Seed]→ This amber was formed by the solidification of sap with a plum seed inside it.
→ The preservation state is good, so the plum seed can germinate if planted.
→ Grade: C.
“Oh.”
It’s plum.
“Fossil~nim, I’ll give you 16.5 square meters.”
Sejun decided to make a 16.5 square meters Fossil Road for Fossil.
After gathering the amber and covering the ground again,
Kihihit. Kking?
[Heehee. I did well, didn’t I? Don’t I get anything?]
Blackie looked at Sejun with eyes full of expectation.
“Yes, you did well. Here.”
Sejun gave him some dried sweet potato slices.
Munch. Munch. Munch.
Blackie ate them happily.
At that moment,
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I have returned, meow!”
Now it’s time for teamwork, meow!
Theo, who had taken the land deeds from Turbo, the Golden Land Turtle of the Green Tower, returned.
