“Everyone did a great job!”
Sejun, who had snatched all the Golden Grapes Infused with the Energy of the World from the top 100 rankers of the Grape Eating Competition, patted the heads of Theo and Cuengi who had helped him, praising them.
Though ‘snatched’ might be a bit of an exaggeration…
[That’s Dad’s! Cuengi is giving it to dad!]
In Sejun’s frenzy, Cuengi went on a rampage too, and threw a tantrum to Pink-fur and the Minotaur King.
“If you give it to me, I’ll lay down grass for you.”
“Puhuhut. The grass laid by Chairman Park will surely be delicious, meow! Hurry up and hand it over, meow!”
Cuengi, using his telekinesis, floated into Sejun’s arms.
“Yeah. You too, Cuengi. Sleep well.”
Sejun hugged Cuengi tightly and said goodnight.
“Uncle-nim will be satisfied with this, right?”
Sejun glanced back at Uncle’s Achievement Monument one more time before heading inside to sleep.
Seed Shop Headquarters.
As the Grape Eating Competition ended and the settlement began
[A total of 131,450,000 people participated in the Grape Eating Competition.]
[You have gained 13,145,000 Divine Power.]
[A total of 13,150,000 Divine Power was used to create grapes for the Grape Eating Competition.]
[5,000 Divine Power will be taken away.]
In an effort not to disappoint Park Sejun, Uncle had diligently worked on producing grapes, only to find that his efforts resulted in a net loss.
On top of that, when considering the divine power spent to create the Golden Grapes Infused with the Energy of the World for the reward…
“Uncle, you lack faith. Do not doubt the Trust-in-Park!”
“Yeah. Do you think you can get an achievement monument with such shallow belief?! Believe! Believe strongly! Then one day, that Trust-in-Park will get you an monument!”
Leah, the God of Abundance, and Luna, the God of Moonlight, who had both received achievement monuments from Sejun, scolded Uncle for his despair.
Leah, Luna, and the non-combat gods around them began chanting the slogan enthusiastically.
As Uncle joined the other non-combat gods in chanting the slogan,
That’s right! Don’t lose faith! If I invest in Park Sejun, good days will come!
Before he knew it, the despair was gone and hopeful feelings surged.
[Your Divine Power increases by 150.]
[The Black Tower’s strongest, Black Minotaur Ox Demon King, has witnessed your temple.]
[Your Divine Power increases by 100.]
[Crimson Giant Bear Pink-fur of the Black Tower has witnessed your temple.]
[Your Divine Power increases by 10.]
[50,000 Calamity Guardian Destruction Devourers, have witnessed your temple.]
[Your Divine Power increases by 500.]
A radiant light burst forth from Uncle’s body as his divine power rapidly increased.
[Theo Park, the legendary merchant of the Black Tower, steals 0.01 divine power from you.]
There was a brief message about Theo stealing some of Uncle’s divine power, but it was quickly buried beneath other messages.
Following that, radiant light also shone from the bodies of Leah and Luna, as their achievement monuments were located in similar areas.
“Look! The sight of being rewarded for faith in Trust-in-Park!”
The chants of the non-combat gods grew even more fervent.
Early the next morning.
Kihihi. Kking! Kking?
[Hehe. Great! Everyone has finished preparing the gift items for the butler, right?]
Blackie, who had gone to bed early and woke up early, asked his subordinates.
“Of course! I made mine a while ago and had it hidden away!”
Responding to Blackie’s question, Eomdol reached into the Creator God’s tablet and pulled out a black dolsot (stone pot).
“The stone from this tablet is very sturdy and has excellent heat retention.”
Eomdol tapped the Creator God’s tablet with a bright smile.
[Great! Eomdol passes! Next is Ggomi!]
At Blackie’s words, Ggomi confidently pulled out a full-body suit that was folded dozens of times from her chest.
(It’s a camouflage suit with a wearing sensation that doesn’t feel like you’re wearing anything, and the ability to change to match the surrounding environment! Of course, I made sure to include basic defense to protect the frail Sejun-nim!)
[Excellent! Ggomi also passes! Next is Kkabi!]
(What I prepared is over there!)
Kkabi stepped forward, leading the way while Blackie and the subordinates followed.
The place they arrived at was the brewery.
Shalarrang! Shalarrang!
(I’ve aged these wines to be even more delicious! They’ve even gained additional abilities, so Sejun-nim will surely like them!)
Kkabi proudly pointed at the jars where golden Samyangju was aging.
[Good. Kkabi also passes! Next, Karurur!]
(It’s Jaki’s turn next!)
Karurur, objecting to Blackie’s command, protested.
[Quiet! Jaki is making 1kg of amethyst every day for the butler! Just show your gift!]
Of course, Karurur received a smack to the back of his head for his defiance.
(Tch! I picked this up on the way!)
Karurur shyly pulled out a red orb from his arms.
[This is an orb of Death Energy?]
Karurur, true to his nature as the Crow of Death, collected the surrounding death energy and crafted an orb infused with the energy of death.
The Orb of Death Energy can be used for various functions, but the most notable being its ability to warn the holder when death is approaching.
[Good! It’s a perfect fit for our frail butler! Karurur, you pass too!]
[Hmph! Of course I pass!]
Feeling proud after receiving Blackie’s approval, Karurur lifted his head arrogantly.
[But wait, you’re the one who makes these! So what do you mean you “picked it up”? Did you lie to me?!]
