The world of Inos, in the midst of destruction due to the invasion of the fifth calamity, the slimes.
The surviving Inos tribe, humanoid beings with soft, fluffy fur only around their arms and legs like arm warmers, banded together to form a massive defense line.
“If we lose this place, Inos is doomed!”
“We must protect it at all costs!”
They were preparing for their final battle to protect the last remaining Brown Tower.
Harvest Festival – Day 6 Morning.
Sejun energetically woke up, ready to face another day.
[You lack the necessary divinity to become the Guardian Deity of .]
[Please designate a proxy guardian deity to become the guardian deity of in your place.]
[You can revoke the proxy guardian deity’s qualifications at any time.]
A strange message appeared in front of Sejun’s eyes.
“Huh? Me, a guardian deity?”
What are they talking about all of a sudden?
Plus, a proxy guardian deity…
There’s no reason to refuse what’s given. Then who should I designate as the proxy guardian deity?
As Sejun was pondering,
[Good morning, Master!]
Flamie, noticing Sejun had woken up, cheerfully greeted him in the morning.
“Yeah, good morning. You weren’t bored at night, were you?”
[Not at all! As long as I’m on Sejun-nim’s palm, I’m never bored!]
Flamie, as usual, spoke sweetly.
After making sure Theo and the Blackie family, who were still asleep, were settled, Sejun got up.
“Let’s go outside and get some sunlight.”
He went outside to let Flamie bask in the sunlight.
He spotted a giant slime. It was so enormous that it looked like a mountain had suddenly appeared.
But upon closer inspection
It wasn’t a slime, but rather a massive pile of slime meat, consisting of millions of pieces.
“Hehehe. What’s all this meat?”
With a wide grin, Sejun approached the pile of meat.
[Sejun-nim, please enjoy the meat. – From Paespaes]
Sejun found a sign neatly written in Korean by Paespaes.
“So, Paespaes brought all this?”
Sejun, wanting to praise Paespaes, thought for a moment.
But where is Paespaes?
With Sejun’s current abilities, there was no way to find Paespaes while he was in stealth mode.
“Vice Chairman Theo, where’s Paespaes?”
“Are you talking about Paespaes, meow?”
Theo, who had been climbing around Sejun’s body, paused.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, Paespaes is right here, meow!”
Theo pointed to the back of Sejun’s head.
“Really? Paespaes, thanks.”
Sejun patted the back of his head to express his gratitude.
A faint chuckle from Paespaes could be heard, though it was unclear if Sejun had patted the right spot.
As Sejun was busy patting Paespaes,
[Meat! There’s so much meat!]
Cuengi, who was coming while holding Pink-fur’s front paws, got excited discovering the meat.
A little while later.
“Hehehe. Guys, eat as much as you want.”
Sejun began moving pots filled with various dishes made from slime meat – boiled pork slices (suyuk), spicy stir-fry (duruchigi), braised spicy meat stew (jjageuli), pork cutlets (donkatsu) – out of the kitchen.
“Sejun No.1, this time make some sweet and sour pork.”
Following Sejun’s order, Sejun No.1 started making sweet and sour pork.
As soon as Sejun No.1 finished preparing the dish,
Sejun infused magic into the ingredients, for creating an enormous amount of sweet and sour pork.
Because Sejun No.1 was considered to be the same as Sejun, even the dishes that Sejun No.1 made within an hour could be recreated using Sejun’s Master-level cooking skill.
Thanks to this, Sejun was able to churn out food without cooking himself, and everyone had a feast from the start of the morning.
[Hehehe. So full! Cuengi can’t eat anymore!]
“Uhehehe, me too… I’m so stuffed.”
As Cuengi and Uren, who had been the last ones to put their spoons down, patted their bellies, enjoying their fullness,
A message appeared in front of Sejun.
The 13th Seed Shop had opened.
[Seven types of seeds, including transcendence grade seeds, will be shown randomly for today’s sale.]
[At your current rank, you can purchase as many seeds as you want within a 500 Tower Coins limit.]
[Seed of Abundance (Transcendence grade) – 350 Tower Coins + 1000 pieces of World’s Energy]
[Starfruit Seed (Transcendence grade) – 100 Tower Coins + 250 pieces of World’s Energy]
[100 Acorn Seeds – 40 Tower Coins]
[20 Japanese Pumpkin Seeds – 30 Tower Coins]
[100 Peanut Seeds – 10 Tower Coins]
“Well, I’ll definitely buy the two Transcendence grade seeds, which leaves me with 50 Tower Coins… I guess I’ll buy acorns.”
Among the five types of seeds aside from the two Transcendence grade ones, the only one Sejun didn’t have was acorns, so he decided to buy the acorn seeds.
Thanks to the World’s Energy coins that Piyot and Uren had collected while fighting the Apostles of Destruction, and
-Apostle of Destruction Coins?
-I tossed all those out because they had the ugly faces of those Apostles on them, and I found them unlucky!
-You’re saying I can exchange those for alcohol from now on?!
-Really?! I must have some stashed away somewhere…
After the previous Seed Shop transaction, Sejun had asked the dragons for help, and thanks to the coins they collected after defeating Jǫrmungandr, he wasn’t short on them.
“I’ll buy these three.”
When Sejun completed his purchase of seeds:
[490 Tower Coins have been deducted from the account of Park Sejun at the Seed Bank.]
[4,900 ppoints have been earned in Seed Shop mileage.]
[A total of 10,001 Seed Shop mileage points have been accumulated.]
[1,250 pieces of World’s Energy have been deducted.]
[1,250 Seed Shop coupons have been issued.]
[The items you can currently exchange for are: Seed Shop Seed Exchange Ticket (500 coupons) and Seed Shop Random Period Reduction Ticket (100 coupons).]
[Please exchange for items until your Seed Shop coupons are reduced to below 100.]
“I’ll exchange one Seed Exchange Ticket and seven Seed Shop Random Period Reduction Ticket.”
Out of curiosity, Sejun got one Exchange Ticket and used the rest of his coupons on Seed Shop Random Period Reduction Ticket.
Hehehe. This time, Vice Chairman Theo is right next to me!
It was possible the Seed Shop might reopen in just a few minutes.
[You can use Seed Shop Lv. 4 again in 30 days.]
Once the Seed Shop closed, three seed pouches appeared in Sejun’s hand, along with one white coupon and seven yellow coupons.
Hehehe. Vice Chairman Theo, let’s go!
“Puhuhut. Good, meow! Let’s go, meow!”
Thinking they were really going somewhere, Theo placed his two front paws into Sejun’s hands.
