99th floor of the Black Tower.
“From this day forward, we will form the Hybrid Protection Association to protect hybrids.”
Sejun declared the founding of HPA, short for Hybrid Protection Association, to counter the dragons’ teasing. In a very solemn voice.
“Puhuhut. Good, meow! Since the great hybrid Chairman Park is the chairman of the HPA, of course, I, Hybrid Vice-Chairman Theo, will naturally be the Vice-Chairman of the HPA, meow!”
Theo, who had dragon claws and dragon skin, exclaimed excitedly at Sejun’s words.
(Bahehet. I’m a hybrid too…)
Paespaes, who also had dragon claws, mumbled with a still sleepy voice, laughing.
Theo had started a new business on the 4th floor of the Golden Tower, as the exit point of his bag of the legendary merchant wandering the Nine Towers had changed.
Usually, it would take some time for business to pick up, but this time,
“Oh! It’s the Sturdy Blade Green Onions!”
“And this smell?! The Vitality-Infused Fragrant Grapes?!”
That wasn’t the case.
Thanks to the great Golden Dragon Artemis distributing the green onions and grapes he had bought from Aileen to the hunters of the Golden Tower, the hunters of were already familiar with Sejun’s crops.
“Puhuhut. Then let the auction begin, meow!”
As a result, Theo was able to auction off Sejun’s crops immediately and,
He was able to finish up and clock out early.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I’m back, meow!”
Theo snuggled up on Sejun’s lap, where Sejun was wrapping up his day by making Samyangju with Kkabi and the Level 1 Golden Rice.
Just like that, next ten uneventful days quickly passed by.
Sejun got up energetically as usual.
After checking the message,
He took care of Theo and Blackie, went outside to raise potential while walking around the farm, and ate breakfast.
“Now shall we start work?!”
Just as he was about to start his morning tasks,
[You, a Mid-level Administrator of the Black Tower, are offered a final chance to save .]
[A Mid-level Administrator Quest has appeared.]
[Mid-level Administrator Quest: Go to , protect the remaining five Blue Towers, and eliminate the calamity.]
Reward: Peace for , All Stats +100, 10 billion Tower Coins
Failure: You will automatically return to the Black Tower.
[Do you accept the quest?]
A message appeared before Sejun, asking for his choice.
The calamity that had invaded , governed by the Blue Tower, was pushing the world to the brink of destruction.
You’re telling me to go fight in a place managed by the Blue Tower?!
Sejun was taken aback as he read the message. This was the first time he’d received such a message.
And up until now, no one had ever received a message before.
Because the last chance to save a dying world was only given to towers that had grown into Tower status.
Typically, the dragon administrators of a tower were granted an opportunity to descend into a dying world for about an hour when only one tower remained standing.
But their descent wasn’t to save the world. It was a last resort to reduce the power of destruction.
Since the worlds they descended into were already considered doomed, the dragons could descend without worry, slay calamities during the allotted time, and return.
After a moment of consideration, Sejun accepted the quest.
He didn’t have any grand intentions of heroically saving the world.
Since he could safely return even if he failed, he just wanted to do whatever he could to help the residents of .
Once Sejun accepted the quest,
[You may bring your subordinates with you.]
[Please designate the subordinates you wish to bring.]
“Guys, get into the Void Storage!”
“Puhuhut. Understood, meow!”
Sejun quickly opened the Void Storage and had his companions enter. Just in case his magic power wasn’t enough to bring them all.
And this was a very wise decision.
With his magic power, he could only bring along Mushroom Ants and Poisonous Bees.
Not only the other Tower Farmers, but even the residents of the 99th floor of the Black Tower had grown stronger by consuming Sejun’s crops.
This was why Sejun, despite his growth, was still comparatively weak like an sunfish.
After 30 seconds passed,
With 700 Mushroom Ants and 100 Poisonous Bees, Sejun disappeared from the 99th floor of the Black Tower.
Combat Shop Headquarters.
“Lately, it’s been dull without any action from Park Sejun.”
Bev, the God of Courage, was bored as he awaited news of Sejun’s recent courageous deeds.
But since pushing him would only result in being blocked, Bev had no choice but to stay quiet.
“Cuengi! You need to embrace the path of a warri… Aaack! Blocked again!”
In the distance, Thunder, the God of Storms, cried out in frustration after being blocked for the 35th time while trying to convince Cuengi to follow the path of a warrior.
Well, at least I’m doing better than that guy.
Bev chuckled to himself as he looked at Thunder.
Thunder noticed Bev and greeted him.
“Yes. The moment I even mention the ‘war’ in warrior, Cuengi blocks me.”
“You have to befriend him first, then bring it up subtly. It works sometimes.”
Bev proceeded to teach Thunder the art of coaxing someone onto the path of a warrior.
“By the way, Thunder, have you seen Battler recently? Or heard anything about him?”
Bev asked about the recent whereabouts of Battler, the God of Battle.
“No, now that you mention it, it’s been a while since I last saw Battler-nim. I heard he hasn’t been coming out of his house lately.”
Battler wasn’t the type to stay cooped up at home…
Bev sensed something unusual.
“Let’s go visit Battler’s place.”
Bev led Thunder to Battler’s house.
“Battler, are you in there?!”
Bev knocked loudly on Battler’s door.
Battler with his huge frame opened the door with sunken eyes.
In his hands was an exceptionally thick book titled 1000 Ways to Completely Win a Cat’s Heart.
