Chapter 343: Now, I'm Not a Bully, Am I?



Chapter 343: Now, I'm Not a Bully, Am I?

TL: Hanguk

Kking!

Thats mine! Thats my core!

Boing. Boing.

Fenrir eagerly jumped towards the fragment of his core held in Theos front paws.

However,

Meow? Blackie, you cant have this, meow! This belongs to Chairman Park, meow!

Theo, with no intention of giving it up, chuckled. Ill give this to Chairman Park and get praised, meow!

But thats mine

Urens frustrated voice from behind was so small it could barely be heard.

Kking

Im tired

As Fenrir got tired after a few jumps and sprawled on the floor,

Puhuhut. Chairman Park, here it is, meow!

Theo, with a Did I do well, meow? look, handed the fragment of Fenrirs core to Sejun.

Yes, you did well.

Pat. Pat.

Sejun petted Theos head as he took the core fragment the size of a walnut.

However,

There was no reaction like before.

Its not here.

It was a core fragment that did not contain a piece of the gate leading to the 10th tower.

Sejun looked at the core fragment in his hand with a disappointed expression.

[1st Seat of Apostle of Destruction, Fenrirs Core Fragment]

This is a fragment of Fenrirs core, the 1st Seat among the Apostles of Destruction.

It contains 1% of the total power.

If the power of destruction within is not removed, you will be consumed by it.

There was no need to get it appraise separately, as Sejun had already obtained a fragment of Fenrirs core before or because he was carrying it on his person.

However, purification seemed necessary.

What? There is 1% power in this?!

Sejun was shocked by the power contained in the core fragment.

Croker had managed to block Ajaxs breath with just 0.01% of Fenrirs power.

But if its 1%

It was really fortunate that it was Uren.

Until just now, Sejun had felt sympathy for Uren being exploited daily by Theo, but now he felt relieved.

But Uren, how did you get this?

Sejun became curious about how Uren managed to find Fenrirs core fragment on the 62nd floor of the tower.

Just on my way to the 75th floor, I heard a whisper calling me.

A whisper?

Yes. Its still calling me. Its telling me to kill the dragon together

What?! Dare to kill a dragon?!

Ajax was infuriated by Urens words.

Ah its not me, its this thing

Uren timidly pointed at Fenrirs core fragment, avoiding Ajaxs glare.

Then,

Hehe alright

Swoosh.

Uren, as if mesmerized, quickly reached out his paw towards the core fragment in Sejuns hand.

Intent on snatching Fenrirs core fragment.

However,

Puhuhut. Not a chance, meow!

Slap!

Iron-wall defense Theo blocked Urens thick paw with his right front paw. How dare you target our Chairman Parks item, meow?!

And,

Uren, get a hold of yourself, meow!

Slap!

With a slap of his left front paw, Theo brought Uren back to his senses.

Huh? What did I just do

Awakened by Theos slap, Uren realized his actions and was flustered.

Im sorry. At least take this

Uren rummaged through his pouch and pulled out a purse.

Its okay. It can happen.

Sejun accepted the money pouch with a look of forgiveness. I forgive you completely.

After securing the money pouch,

Click.

Sejun showed the fragment of Fenrirs core to Uren again.

Hehehe

Swoosh.

Slap. Slap.

Ah! I did it again

Another pouch came in.

Vice Chairman Theo, nice.

Puhuhut. Chairman Park is pretty good too, meow!

In this way, Sejun and Theo received 20 money pouches from Uren.

Ugh! I dont want to be hit anymore

Thanks to that, Uren no longer succumbed to the temptation of Fenrirs core fragment. Indeed, theres no business in front of beatings.

But do you guys also hear the whisper?

Sejun pressed his ear to Fenrirs core fragment and looked at Theo, Cuengi, and Ajax, asking, I dont hear anything, do you?

I dont hear it, meow!

Kueng!

[Cuengi dont hear it either!]

I dont hear it

For some reason, only Uren could hear the whisper coming from Fenrirs core fragment.

What is it?

It was understandable for Ajax since he is a dragon, but Theo and Cuengi should have heard it too.

Especially since he was weaker than Uren, he should have heard something

But there was nothing.

Is it only audible to those who are mentally weak?

That seemed plausible. I am mentally strong, after all.

I dont think so

What?

Never mind

At Sejuns retort, Uren quickly shut his mouth.

Then,

Kking! Kking!

Hey! Thats mine! Didnt I give you one already?

Fenrir, having regained his strength, barked while hopping towards the core fragment in Sejuns hand.

And,

Could it be?! Blackie, did you hear the whisper from here too?

Sejun misunderstood that Fenrir had heard the whisper from the core fragment. This could be dangerous for Blackie!

Aileen, please purify this.

He quickly sent the core fragment to Aileen.

[The Towers Administrator says to leave it to her.]

[The Towers Administrator says she will purify it thoroughly.]

Thanks.

After finishing his talk with Aileen,

Kking

My core

As the core fragment disappeared, Fenrir, with his ears and tail drooping, turned his back on Sejun.

Hehehe. Our Blackie looks totally defeated. Cute.

Come on, Blackie, lets eat something tasty.

Sejun, with a pleased smile, took out two dried sweet potatoes to cheer up Fenrir.

However,

Kking!

I wont eat!

Fenrir, perhaps heartbroken, immediately turned his head away even from the dried sweet potatoes he usually loved.

Even this?

Sejun then took out two more dried sweet potatoes,

Kking!

Four chewy, yellow ones!

Fenrir, who had never eaten four dried sweet potatoes at once, hesitated for a moment but then turned his head away.

A noble wolf has its pride. He couldnt be swayed by just that.

Hehehe. Can you also refuse this?

Chuck.

Sejun started peeling a banana.

Kking?! Kking?

Whats that?! Why does it smell so good?

Drawn by the unusual sweet scent different from the dried sweet potatoes, Fenrir not only turned his head but his entire body around.

Wag wag.

His tail wagging vigorously as he drooled.

Kking! Kking!

Hurry up and peel it! Give it to me quickly!

Okay, here.

As Sejun hurriedly fed the eager Fenrir a banana,

Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.

Fenrir began to eat earnestly.

And then,

Staaare.

Cuengi and Ajax were staring at Sejun with heated gazes. It was a silent signal that they also wanted bananas.

Alright, here. Lets eat this and then continue.

Thus began an unexpected snack time.

II also

Puhuhut. If you want a banana, you need to pay up, meow!

Theo, in his usual sly manner, watched Uren asking for a banana and tried to get more money from him.

Yes! I will pay!

Uren, after already being fleeced of 20 money bags, yet again took out more money.

Ill just give this one for free.

Sejun gave a bunch of bananas to Uren for free.

Hehe. I am quite generous.

Feeling satisfied with himself.

Now, Im not a bully, am I? Sejun was late in trying to clean up his image.

***

Black Towers Administrator Area.

Keeheehee. Lets purify this quickly and return it to our Sejun! Grandpas, gather up quickly!

Aileen, full of enthusiasm, called out to Kaiser, Kellion, Ramter, and Tier.

Due to her own power being insufficient to purify even 1% of the destructive power contained in Fenrirs core fragment.

A moment later,

-Kahaha! My granddaughter! Did you call grandpa?

Kaiser and other dragons from the dragon council gathered.

And then,

-Huh?! Whats that?!

-Its bigger than the last one?!

-Oh! Are we going to make a ton of money?!

-Dwahaha! What shall we buy from Sejun this time?

They got excited at the sight of the walnut-sized fragment of Fenrirs core that Aileen was holding, thinking about the money they could make.

However,

Grandpas, first you need to pay me back for the black beans you used last time.

They had debts to repay.

-Ahem. How much is it?

-100 billion Tower Coins.

-What?!

-Thats too expensive!

The dragons were taken aback by Aileens response.

The black beans had improved from 12 to 16 times their effectiveness, a 33.33% increase, while the price had jumped 300% from 25 billion to 100 billion Tower Coins, which was indeed shocking.

Keeheehee. Sejun said that performance and price arent necessarily proportional.

-Ahem. If our Sejun says so

-Here it is.

The dragons handed over the money they had to Aileen.

Keeheehee. Thank you.

After receiving the money, Aileen began to explain to the four dragons.

Since it will take too long to purify this, so take turns using your main bodies to purify it.

-Alright. Know that it wont be fun if you guys cheat!

-If anyone is caught cheating, theyre out!

-Why not just swear a oath it in our name!

-We also need to decide the order!

Following Aileens suggestion, the dragons wrote a contract and decided who would purify Fenrirs core fragment first.

The agreed order was Kaiser, Tier, Ramter, and Kellion.

-Kahaha! Then Im first.

The black dragon statue swallowed Fenrirs core fragment.

***

Pluck.

[You have harvested Tenacious Mugwort.]

[Your job experience has slightly increased.]

[Your proficiency of Harvesting Lv. 8 has slightly increased.]

[You have gained 70 experience points.]

After snack time, Sejun diligently harvested mugwort again,

Kueng!

[Your hands smell like mugwort!]

It kind of smells nice the more you smell it, doesnt it?

Why me?

Cuengi, Ajax, and Uren also helped with harvesting mugwort.

Shall we sleep here tonight?

Sejun swallowed a fragment of meat while looking at the darkening sky.

[You have consumed Aileens Healthier Meatball Piece.]

[You must eat all the Pieces to get the effect.]

[150 pieces left.]

Ive been eating 20 pieces a day earnestly

There were still 150 pieces left.

However, thanks to him diligently eating the meat pieces, his Vitality skill had reached level 7.

Kueng!

[Its campfire time!]

Eeheehee! A campfire!

At the mention of sleeping outside, Cuengi and Ajax quickly went into the void storage to bring out green onion leaves, sweet potatoes, and potatoes.

And then,

Sejun, Theo, Cuengi, Ajax, Uren.

The five began to wrap sweet potatoes and potatoes with green onion leaves together.

A short while later.

Crackle. Crackle.

Chew. Chew.

The sounds of burning wood and chewing filled the mugwort farm.

After finishing the quiet dinner like that,

Puhuhut. That was delicious, meow! Chairman Parks fish grilling skills are getting better, meow!

Meow meow meow. Theo, who had eaten his fill of Sejuns grilled fish, lay sprawled on Sejuns lap.

And,

Kuehehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehe. It was a delicious dinner!]

Eeheehee. I always get to eat delicious things when Im with Sejun, hyung.

Cuengi and Ajax snuggled against Sejuns side, rubbing their bellies.

Plop.

Kking Kking

My stomach hurts Rub my belly

Lastly, Fenrir, having overeaten, lay in front of Sejun with his bloated belly sticking out, asking for help.

Sigh. I told you to eat moderately.

He knew it from the moment Fenrir ran off with a whole sweet potato earlier that this would happen.

Swish.

Sejun carefully picked up Fenrir,

Pat. Pat.

and petted Fenrirs belly. Meanwhile,

Gororong.

Kurorong.

Arorong.

Kkironrong.

All four of them fell asleep using Sejuns body as a pillow.

I should sleep too.

Sejun looked around to lie down.

But

Why does he sleep like that?

Hnngh Hnngh

Sejun spotted Uren lying curled up on the ground by himself. Despite being a wealthy legendary merchant, why does he look so pitiful?

Swish.

Sejun covered Uren with green onion leaves and laid down himself.

Day 378 in the tower. Today also, was another uneventful day

Clatter. Clatter.

Or did something happen?

Suddenly, a skeleton appeared.

Clatter.

The King of Farming, who had come up from the 4th floor to meet Sejun, bowed his head and greeted Sejun.
