[You can no longer increase your stats due to the limit of your potential.]
Sejun checked the message with a disappointed expression.
The reason Sejun’s stats, which should have increased greatly by borrowing 1% of the stats from the other eight Tower Farmers, barely rose was due to the limit of his potential.
Well, it’s not like it’s gone forever.
The stats were literally borrowed.
When Sejun’s potential increases, he will naturally be able to fill that borrowed amount.
“But how did Udon manage to plant the Scorching Cherry?”
As the core fragment was finally pulled out, Blackie and its followers rolled to the ground together.
After much struggle, Blackie successfully extracted his core fragment.
[Hehe. Butler! Take this!]
Hurry and eat it to grow stronger and make lots of delicious things for me!
With the core fragment in its mouth, Blackie ran to Sejun.
When Sejun accepted the core fragment from Blackie,
Along with the message, a brown, fist-sized piece of wood separated from the core fragment, and Sejun acquired the fourth fragment of the door leading to the 10th tower.
By defeating Mozak, Sejun had managed to achieve revenge, complete the Land Deed quest, and acquire a piece of the door leading to the 10th Tower-a triple success.
Theo subdued a 0.5% fragment so easily?!
Sejun was astonished as he stared at the core fragment in his hand.
Remembering that Ajax had struggled with a mere 0.1% core before his awakening, it was clear just how much stronger Theo had become.
When did Theo become so strong?
Sejun suddenly felt a pang of jealousy.
“Puhuhut. Great Hybrid Chairman Park, I, Hybrid Vice Chairman Theo, have punished the one who made Chairman Park cry, meow!”
Theo ran toward Sejun with a proud smile, and Sejun’s jealousy melted away in an instant.
“Meow?! I clearly saw water flowing from Chairman Park’s eyes, meow!”
“It was raining, meow?!”
Theo believed Sejun’s words unconditionally. He simply accepted that it must have rained, just as Sejun had said.
“Only one more to go. Let’s head to the 59th floor of the Tower.”
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!”
Sejun and his companions used the Land Deed of the 59th floor to move once again.
59th Floor of the Black Tower
“If it touches you, it’s over!”
The residents of the 59th floor of the Tower were fleeing from the advancing ice that was closing in on them.
“This is the right place.”
I can sense Fenrir-nim’s energy here.
A woman with blue skin, who appeared both alluring and cold, spoke in a chilling voice and moved in the direction where Fenrir’s energy was emanating, paying no attention to the fleeing residents.
She was Ice Queen Shasha, the Screaming Banshee and 5th seat of the Apostle of Destruction.
When her fellow solo group members, Fenrir, Krueger, Violet, and Alice, all disappeared, Shasha set out on a journey to find them.
[Due to the effects of the , you gain invincibility for 1 second.]
Sejun appeared in front of Shasha.
Although there was still some distance between them,
Shasha’s icy aura tried to freeze Sejun.
Shasha had sent numerous fragments of her power into the Black Tower to find Fenrir, and the Shasha in front of Sejun now was only a fragment, possessing just 1% of her original power.
[You are in an invincible state.]
[No damage has been taken.]
As soon as Sejun saw the message, he quickly activated his skill.
[A warm greenhouse is created within a 2 km radius.]
[Your proficiency of Greenhouse Lv. 6 is increasing.]
[Due to the surrounding cold, the temperature of the greenhouse drops significantly.]
Shivering, Sejun’s body trembled from the cold. Though the temperature was still below zero, thanks to the Greenhouse skill, he could endure it.
“Meow?! Great Hybrid Chairman Park, why is water coming out of your nose this time, meow?! Are you very cold, meow?!”
Don’t worry, meow! I, Hybrid Vice Chairman Theo, will keep you warm, meow!
Theo, who had come out of the Void Storage, hurriedly wrapped himself around Sejun’s knees, turning into a warm fur coat.
[Cuengi will also keep Dad warm!]
Cuengi clung to Sejun’s side, helping to keep him warm.
[This is Shasha’s energy?!]
Blackie, who sensed Shasha’s aura from afar, sneezed due to the intense cold, just like Sejun, and snot dripped from his nose.
[Karurur, take Eomdol and Alice with you to bring Shasha!]
At Blackie’s command, Ggomi wrapped Karurur’s body in spider silk, creating a barrier to block out the cold.
With that, Karurur set off, carrying Eomdol and Ggomi away.
[Butler! I’m freezing! I want to go home quickly!]
Blackie barked at Sejun, urging him to put him into the sling bag immediately.
“Alright, alright. Our poor Blackie, you’re cold, huh?”
Sejun quickly picked up Blackie, wiped the snot from his nose, and placed him in the sling bag.
Since it was still cold, Sejun put on a few more layers of clothing.
“But is this a farm?”
As Sejun was examining the neatly stacked piles of grass around him,
A goblin cautiously poked its head out from the grass pile.
“Huh?! Vice Chairman Theo?”
It was Paku, Scarram’s nephew.
[Quest: Eliminate or negotiate with the Green Goblin Tribe that is illegally occupying the Perilla Farm, and reclaim the land’s rights.]
Reward: Recognition as the rightful owner of the Perilla Farm on the 59th floor of the Black Tower.
A message appeared in front of Sejun.
“Hehehe. Do you want to negotiate and work here peacefully, or would you rather get beaten and then work?”
Can I finally have some perilla oil?
Sejun, whose mind was now filled with thoughts of perilla oil, grinned like a villain as he looked at Paku and spoke.
“Puhuhut. Paku, quickly bring the other goblins over to get their stamp, meow!”
Theo ordered Paku to bring the other goblins over. By then, the cold had completely disappeared.
“Yes! Of course! I’ll bring them right away!”
What an unexpected windfall! Joining Sejun Company in a group!
Paku, delighted, hurried off to fetch the goblins from the village.
While Paku went to bring the other goblins,
[Great Blackie-nim, we have brought Shasha!]
[Fenrir-nim! You were here!]
