Chapter 557: I Need to Call an Expert.
TL: Hanguk
99th floor of the Black Tower.
“Now, close your eyes and count to 100. Then you can search for the treasures I’ve hidden. Got it?”
2a09:bac5:47ec:b05::119:17
At Sejun’s words, the group’s eyes sparkled, and they all nodded.
“Alright. Then let’s begin!”
As Sejun shouted,
Puhuhut. The treasures of great Hybrid Chairman Park will be mine, meow!
Hehe. Treasure hunting is so fun!
Hehehe. Dad’s treasures belong to Cuengi!Hehe. The butler’s treasures will soon belong to the great Blackie!
Puhihihi. I don’t know what treasure hunting is, but it must be playing with my brother-in-law, right? I need to play hard!
The group members steeled their resolve and closed their eyes.
And then,
“Guys, hide these!”
Whirrr!
Kkwek!
At Sejun’s command, the Poisonous Bees and Mushroom Ants grabbed the treasures Sejun took out and scattered in all directions.
The treasures included real treasures, food, and handmade coupons such as [Sejun’s Knee Monopolization Coupon] and [Sejun’s Cooking Request Coupon].
“25, meow!”
“26, meow!”
Good. Still 70 seconds left.
“I need to hide quickly too.”
Sejun moved while listening to Theo’s counting.
At that moment,
Kihihit.
The butler is hiding things… I should secretly peek.
Blackie quietly opened his eyes, and his gaze met Sejun’s.
“Blackie, do you want to be disqualified?! Cover your eyes now!”
Kking! Kking!
[No! I want to do the treasure hunt!]
At Sejun’s words, Blackie hurriedly used his front paws to tightly cover his eyes.
A little later,
“100, meow!”
At Theo’s shout, the group scattered in all directions to search for treasures.
“Puhuhut. I feel a strong pull, meow!”
It must be an incredible treasure, meow!
Theo ran following the pull.
And then,
“Puhuhut. Found it, meow!”
Theo pulled out a piece of paper hidden under a rock and celebrated.
[Sejun’s Knee Monopolization Coupon (1 Year)]
It was the longest-duration knee monopolization coupon that Sejun had made.
“On to the next treasure, meow!”
Great Hybrid Chairman Park’s knee will never be taken away, meow!
Theo hurried to find the remaining knee monopolization coupons.
[Hehe. Did you see any treasures?]
Flamie asked the kudzu roots planted by Cuengi while searching for the hidden treasures.
Kuhehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. I can smell Dad’s scent here!]
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. Guys, there’s a roasted sweet potato smell here! Let’s dig quickly!]
Cuengi and Blackie tracked scents to find treasures.
And then,
“Puhihihi. This is fun.”
“Baby Brother-in-law, what are you doing here?”
“I’m watching my brother-in-law cook.”
Ace leaned on Sejun’s head, watching him prepare lunch.
“Aren’t you going treasure hunting?”
“Puhihihi. This is more fun though.”
“Really? Among the treasures, there’s also a coupon to order your favorite dishes from me.”
“What?! Really?!”
“Yeah. There’s even a coupon to order whatever dish you want every day for a week!”
“A whole week?! Brother-in-law, wait a bit! Where is it?”
Hearing Sejun’s words, Ace, a treasure hunt novice, began lifting random stones and digging through the ground to find the treasures.
A little later,
“Puhuhut. Found them all, meow!”
Having found all the Sejun’s Knee Monopolization Coupons, Theo triumphantly approached Sejun.
And then,
Shuck.
Theo proudly handed over all the coupons he’d found and clung to Sejun’s knees.
One 1-year coupon, one 6-month coupon, three 1-month coupons, five 1-week coupons, and ten 1-day coupons.
Wow. You found all of these?!
Sejun checked the 20 knee monopolization coupons and looked at Theo with admiration.
As expected of a knee fanatic.
While Sejun was checking Theo’s coupons,
[Hehe. Sejun~nim, I found treasures too!]
Flamie appeared holding small coupons. They were the smaller versions Sejun had made for her.
Five 1-hour sunbathing coupons, five 30-minute coupons, and ten 10-minute coupons, totaling 20.
Flamie found hers well too.
Sejun, who had hidden coupons tailored to each member, felt relieved looking at what Flamie brought back.
Kuhehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Dad, Cuengi found treasures too!]
Next, Cuengi also returned with the real treasures, food, and 20 coupons Sejun had hidden.
Sejun’s Cooking Request Coupons: One 1-week full-course coupon, one 3-day full-course coupon, three 1-day full-course coupons, five 3-time order coupons, and ten 1-time order coupons, Cuengi had gathered every single cooking coupon Sejun had hidden.
Cuengi managed to secure both quality and quantity.
And then,
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hihit. Butler! Great Blackie has also found treasures!]
Blackie family triumphantly appeared, holding 20 pouches of roasted and dried sweet potatoes that Sejun had hidden.
Judging by the yellow smudges around their mouths, it seemed like they had already eaten a few on their way.
“Puhing…”
Finally, Ace showed up tearfully, empty-handed, well, his hands weren’t completely empty. Having dug through too much dirt, they were covered in soil.
For a treasure-hunting novice like him, the competitors were too formidable.
Kueng!
[Uncle Ace, take this and cheer up!]
Cuengi handed Ace none other than the 1-week full-course coupon.
“Cuengi hyung, are you really giving this to me?!”
Kueng! Kueng!
[That’s right! So Uncle Ace, don’t cry! Dad said that men shouldn’t cry so easily!]
“Yes! I got it, Cuengi hyung! If brother-in-law says so, then that’s how it is!”
Ace hurriedly wiped his tears, carefully holding onto the coupon Cuengi gave him so it wouldn’t crumple.
Once the treasure hunt was over,
“Let’s eat now.”
Sejun handed out the lunch he had prepared to everyone.
Theo received a grilled giant piranha.
The rest of the group enjoyed a variety of dishes Sejun had made, including tteokbokki, pizza, and rice balls.
“Puhihihi. This is so good!”
As Ace happily stomped his feet while eating Sejun’s cooking,
Thud! Boom! Thud! Boom!
The ground shook.
“Puhuhut. Delicious, meow!”
[Hehe. The sun tastes great!]
Theo, sitting on Sejun’s knee, and Flamie, perched on his straw hat, didn’t feel much of the vibrations thanks to Sejun.
But,
Kueng! Kueng! Kueng!
[Uncle Ace, stop stomping! The food will spill! And the herbs Cuengi grew will get hurt!]
Cuengi wasn’t so lucky and
Float.
Quickly used telekinesis to lift Ace into the air, preventing any further damage.
And then,
Kking?! Kking!
[Hey! Do you want to get scolded by the great Blackie?! Because of you, I fell over!]
Blackie, who had lost his balance and tumbled over due to Ace’s vibrations, sprang up and barked fiercely at Ace.
Of course, it was so small and adorable that it only looked cute.
There was a brief commotion, but lunch continued pleasantly after Ace apologized to everyone.
Once the meal ended,
Kueng!
[Dad, here’s your coffee!]
Cuengi brewed some coffee and brought it to Sejun.
“Thanks.”
Slurp.
“Ahh, so good.”
Sejun gave an exaggerated reaction to Cuengi who was watching him with expectant eyes, and
Kuhehehe.
Seeing Sejun’s response, Cuengi grinned widely.
What does brother-in-law even like about that bitter stuff?
Shake. Shake.
Ace, unable to understand Sejun, shook his head in confusion.
Slurp.
As Sejun sipped his coffee,
“Puhuhut.”
[Hehe.]
Kuhehehe.
Kihihit.
Everyone climbed onto Sejun’s body and settled in, preparing for a nap.
Where should I sleep?
Ace watched Sejun and the others, deep in thought.
His large body made it impossible for him to snuggle with Sejun.
At that moment,
Plop.
Sejun stood up, leaned against Ace’s belly, and said,
“Baby brother-in-law, rest your head on my shoulder.”
He gently placed Ace’s head on his shoulder.
This created a comfortable position for everyone.
Kurrr.
Gororong.
Kurorong.
…
..
.
Phew~
Everyone drifted off to a peaceful nap, except for Flamie, who couldn’t sleep.
[Hehe.]
While the group was enjoying their peaceful nap,Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Bzzz. Bzzz.
A vibrating sound came from Sejun’s pocket.
[Huh?! What’s that noise?]
This time, the vibration was quite strong, and since the surroundings were quiet, Flamie could clearly hear the sound.
Wooong! Wooong!
The sound grew stronger.
Hop.
Flamie, who had been listening closely to the sound, jumped off Sejun’s straw hat and approached Sejun’s pocket, pulling out the vibrating object.
[Pouch of Abundance Crafted With Utmost Sincerity]The divine relic given by Leah, the God of Abundance, was vibrating.
And,
[3 hours remaining until the Grand Magic Stream Seed is complete.]These words were written on the side of the pouch.
The Pouch of Abundance Crafted With Utmost Sincerity could replicate seeds on its own without taking them out, and Sejun rarely checked the pouch unless he needed to take seeds out.
A few days ago, after eight Great Magic Stream Seeds were created, they had combined into one, forming the Grand Magic Stream Seed.
The problem was that the Grand Magic Stream Seed was so powerful that its very existence here was dangerous.
I haven’t even enjoyed my vacation yet…
On the seventh day of their vacation, Flamie realized that the time to return was near.

Blue Tower Administrator’s Area.
“This is bad.”
Kin Aster, the administrator of the Blue Tower, frowned.
[The destruction of <Drakenia> has begun.][<Drakenia> has been 15% destroyed by destruction.]
[If <Drakenia> is destroyed more than 70%, the 14,124 worlds supported by <Drakenia> will perish.]
The ominous alarm from the crystal orb rang loudly.
How did it come to this?
When Kin first fulfilled the growth conditions of the Blue Tower with Sejun’s help, he felt like he had the whole world in his hands.
After all, it became the second tower to grow after the Black Tower.
This was achieved thanks to Sejun’s outstanding contributions, including his five great achievements accomplished in Recia, where he eradicated the Five Destructions.
With Sejun’s attribute wine’s effect, Kin gained control over water, securing more than 50% of unsubmerged land.
Furthermore, for some reason, five World Trees had grown in the Blue Tower. Meeting all the tower’s growth conditions, the Blue Tower finally evolved into the Great Blue Tower.
[The Blue Tower is starting its growth into the Great Blue Tower.][10,000 days remain until the Great Blue Tower’s growth is complete.]
[You have grown four additional World Trees as part of the growth conditions.]
[The time required for the Great Blue Tower to grow has been shortened by 4,000 days.]
[You have achieved two more great achievements as part of the growth conditions.]
[The time required for the Great Blue Tower to grow has been shortened by 4,000 days.]
…
..
.
[The Great Blue Tower’s growth is complete.]
[The functions of the Great Blue Tower have been activated.]
[Recia will be temporarily incorporated as the 0th floor of the Great Blue Tower in 3 days.]
It all happened in one go.
However, an unexpected problem arose when the Great Blue Tower connected to <Drakenia>, a level 10 world.
Honestly, it was just bad luck. If the connected world hadn’t been level 10, things wouldn’t have escalated like this.
At the time of creating the Sea of Dimensions, the Creator God established ten pillars and one cornerstone as its foundation.
Another name for the pillars created by the Creator God was the Level 10 Worlds.
In other words, if a level 10 world were to collapse, a pillar holding up the Sea of Dimensions would collapse,
And the lower-level worlds supported by that pillar would be swept up in the collapse, leading to a chain reaction of destruction.
“What should I do….”
Kin fell into deep thought.
In the past, when just one world collapsed, the guilt and sense of defeat left him bedridden for days.
“14,124 worlds….”
Kin couldn’t bear the thought of being responsible for the destruction of so many worlds.
I need to call an expert.
“Zelga.”
Having made his decision, Kin called for Zelga, the Great Blue Tower’s Tower Farmer, through his ice sculpture located on the 99th floor of the tower.
-Yes. You called for me, Great Blue Dragon!
“Go to Black Tower’s Tower Farmer Park Sejun, and tell him that the great Blue Dragon Kin Aster is requesting his help.”
-Understood!
To call Sejun.
The great Blue Dragon Kin Aster formally requested Sejun’s assistance.
