“This is your daily wage for today. And Intern Magin, come forward.”
Assistant Manager Jeff handed out the daily wages to the employees and called for Magin.
At Jeff’s words, Magin stepped forward.
“This time, Intern Magin successfully sealed a deal with the Electric Hippo Tribe. And here’s your incentive.”
Jeff announced Magin’s achievement to everyone and handed him 3 Tower Coins.
It was a 3% incentive based on the 100 Tower Coins of revenue Magin had generated from the deal with the Electric Hippo Tribe.
Cultivator: Intermediate Herbalist Cuengi Park
The word ‘intermediate’ was now attached in front of herbalist.
As Cuengi’s herbalist rank rose to intermediate, the ability of the harvested kudzu root increased.
“Oh! Our Cuengi has become an intermediate herbalist!”
[Hehehe. That’s right!]
Feeling proud, Cuengi struck a pose, placing his front paws on his waist like his older brother Theo, preparing to receive praise from Sejun.
“Congratulations! Since Cuengi has become an intermediate herbalist, let’s celebrate by going to the 75th floor of the tower and eating something delicious!”
Sejun decided to take Cuengi to the 75th floor for a special meal.
Hehehe. Now I’ll eat something tasty with Dad!
Cuengi, excited by Sejun’s words, checked to make sure his pocket money pouch was still there.
They’re going to eat something delicious?!
As the atmosphere between Sejun and Cuengi seemed unusual, Karurur, who had been eavesdropping on their conversation.
(Great Blackie~nim, Sejun~nim and Cuengi~nim are going to eat something delicious!)
Karurur quickly reported what he had heard to Blackie, and
[What? They’re going to eat something delicious?! Butler! Take us too!]
Blackie came running hurriedly with his subordinates, afraid that Sejun might leave without them.
And so, Sejun descended the tower with Cuengi and the Blackie family in tow.
He didn’t worry about the possibility of Theo not finding him. Because Theo always finds him well on his own.
[You have moved from the 99th floor to the 75th floor.]
[You descended 24 floors.]
[Due to the effects of your and , all your stats increase by 120.]
[Due to the effects of the , you gain invincibility for 1 second.]
Sejun arrived at the 75th floor of the tower via waypoint.
Sejun said, calculating the distance between him and Theo, who he could sense from afar.
“Puhuhut. Great Hybrid Chairman Park, did you come to see me, meow?! I actually needed you, meow!”
Sensing Sejun’s presence, Theo quickly moved over using Meow-step and latched onto Sejun’s face.
Having unexpectedly run into Sejun, Theo couldn’t contain his joy and rubbed his body against Sejun’s face.
“Meow! That’s right, meow! Let’s quickly go over there, meow! That way, meow!”
Clinging to Sejun’s knee, Theo pointed his front paw towards the merchant’s area.
[Hurry, let’s go and get something delicious to eat!]
[Butler! Something delicious!]
Cuengi and Blackie, who had belatedly come out of the void storage, also urged Sejun.
Sejun picked up Cuengi and Blackie.
And swiftly ran toward the merchant area.
“Here it is, meow! To make these guys into legendary merchants, we need the items from Chairman Park’s Void Storage, meow!”
Guided by Theo, Sejun arrived at the spot where Machun, Magin, and Ninir were waiting.
Theo retrieved the items from Sejun’s Void Storage, matching the ones listed on the scrolls the three had unrolled.
Sejun joined Theo in assisting with the process.
[Hehehe. That looks tasty!]
[Hehe. The food looks delicious!]
In the meantime, Cuengi and Blackie were wandering around the nearby food stalls, eyeing the snacks.
[How much is that one?]
Cuengi pointed to a skewer with five pieces of candied fruit and asked the vendor.
“It’s 10 Tower Coins each.”
Cuengi boldly made his order.
Even though he didn’t have more than 5,000 Tower Coins in his pocket money pouch, he didn’t care.
Cuengi had his dad’s 3 times bargaining.
With three rounds of haggling, he was sure to get a discount.
[Give me a discount!]
“Alright, how about 8 Tower Coins per skewer…?”
“Okay… 5 Tower Coins then…?”
“Well… since you’re buying 1,000… How about 3,000 Tower Coins total?”
The street vendor owner decided to sell with just a little profit, as he was planning to go home early because it was the day that ruffian was going to come.
Thus, Cuengi managed to buy the candied fruit skewers for 3 Tower Coins with his 3 times bargaining.
“It’ll take some time to make all 1,000, so just have a few first while you wait.”
[Hehehe. Sounds good!]
Cuengi picked up a strawberry candy skewer.
[Hyung! Hyung! Let me have one too!]
Blackie quickly barked, asking for one as well.
A cool older brother always shares food with his younger siblings!
As Cuengi pulled off one strawberry candy from the skewer to give to Blackie
“Hey. Buy me one too. And give me some money. Don’t even think about hiding it. If you get caught, it’ll be 1 hit per Tower Coin. Hehe.”
A Tiger Tribe warrior put his arm around Cuengi’s shoulder, trying to extort money from him.
Hehe. This is going to be fun.
