TL: Hanguk
Black Towers Administrator Area.
Alright. Now that Ive done as I learned, it should be perfect, right?
Aileen was practicing making fried eggs as taught by Kim Mi-ran.
At that moment,
Wooong.
The crystal ball vibrated.
What is it?
Aileen brought the crystal ball in front of her as she was making fried eggs.
Aileen smiled brightly after reading the alert.
Kying? The entrances are being restored? What does that mean?
Aileen was puzzled since she hadnt seen the alarm about the entrances disappearing.
At that moment,
[A safe zone is being created within a 100-meter radius around the tower on the 0th floor of the Black Tower.]
Messages kept appearing.
Thanks to this, not only in Korea but also in other countries, a 100-meter radius safe zone was created centered around the tower.
***
Sejuns House.
Sejun scooped some kimchi stew with its broth into a bowl of white rice, mixed it well, and took a big bite.
Mmm. This is it!Explore new ovels on nvelbi(.)com
As expected, moms kimchi stew is truly the best!
Sejun admired the kimchi stew made by Kim Mi-ran. No matter how hard he tried, he couldnt get this taste in the tower.
Ppyak! Ppyak!
[Its delicious! Its the best!]
Kueng! Kueng!
[Thats right! Cuengis grandmas kimchi stew is the best!]
Next to him, the Black Rabbit and Cuengi, who were also eating the kimchi stew, couldnt hide their excitement.
The Black Rabbit was so delighted that his perked-up ears were trembling, and Cuengi expressed his delight by shaking his hips.
Kids, eat a lot.
Kim Mi-ran, watching them warmly, got up from her seat and quickly started a new batch of kimchi stew.
Chairman Parks Chairman, bring out the Churu, meow! They said there are many flavors of Churu on Earth, meow! Im going to try all kinds of Churu today, meow!
Puhuhut. Ive conquered Chairman Parks Chairmans lap!
Meanwhile, Theo lay flat on the lap of Sejuns father, Park Chun-ho, demanding Churu.
Hahaha. Vice Chairman Theo, wait a moment. Se-dol went to buy Churu and food for Blackie.
Park Chun-ho answered and tried to stroke Theos belly.
Meow! Dont touch me, meow!
No matter even if its Chairman Parks Chairman, only Chairman Park can touch my belly!
Theo didnt allow his belly to be touched.
Thats too much.
As a result, the cat-loving Park Chun-ho became sad.
And then,
Kking?!
[Hey! Why am I not getting any food?!]
While Sejun was engrossed in the kimchi stew, Blackie, completely treated like a dog by Se-dol, couldnt eat any human food.
A moment later,
Dad, Im back!
Why are you so late? Quickly give our Vice Chairman Theo his Churu!
Se-dol, who hurriedly bought Churu and dog food from the convenience store, handed over the Churu to Park Chun-ho.
Here. Blackie, lets eat.
He poured the dog food into a bowl.
Crunch.
Blackie took a bite.
But,
Ptooey.
How dare you give me something so tasteless!!!
There was no way the dog food would suit Blackies palate who was already accustomed to Sejuns food.
Kking!
[Give me what hes eating, not this tasteless thing!]
Blackie overturned the food bowl, throwing a tantrum.
Wow. A dog overturning a food bowl is so cute!
Of course, to Se-dol, Blackies petty rebellion seemed even cuter.
Ah. Im full.
Sejun, feeling somewhat full, said,
Mom, Dad, Se-dol, gather around for a moment.
After calling his family while leaving the others still eating enthusiastically,
This is a gift.
Sejun handed his family a Space Expansion Pouch containing the crops he had grown and herbs gathered by Cuengi.
And these are jewels. They were given by some acquaintances.
Next, he took out four jewel boxes given by the dragons. He just said they were given by acquaintances, thinking his family would worry if he mentioned living with dragons.
No, you didnt have to go this far
Yes, something like this
Click.
Sejuns parents were speechless, seemingly stunned by the size of the jewels inside.
Well, it was understandable. There were diamonds of rare sizes and colors, such as black, red, and purple, which couldnt be found on Earth.
They would fetch a high price.
But,
Sejun
Theres nothing in here?
Inside the jewel boxes that his parents opened,
What?! Theyre empty.
They were completely empty.
It seemed that when liquidating assets for stay fee, the diamonds in the jewel boxes had all been cashed out too.
Its its okay. The jewels arent whats important.
Yes. As long as our son is healthy.
Though they hurriedly tried to act like they werent expecting much, their faces were filled with disappointment.
Kkihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. This is delicious!]
You little rascal, Blackie!
Sejun glared at Blackie, who was eagerly chewing on a dog treat.
***
Near Bukhansan Mountain.
Crunch. Crunch.
[It seems the Master didnt find this, so I should dispose of it!]
Flamies roots wrapped around a container that Michael had brought in advance to plant when the safe zone disappeared.
And then,
[Digesting the absorbed power of destruction to create nutrients.]
Flamie absorbed the Power of Destruction imbued in the seeds.
Just as Flamie had almost completely absorbed the power of destruction inside the container,
Its suffocating.
Its stuffy.
When will we grow?
Faint voices, barely audible even when concentrating, began to be heard from inside the container.
[Whats this?]
Flamie, curious, made a hole in the container and looked inside.
Im hungry.
Isnt there anything to eat?
I want to eat something stimulating
Inside were seeds emitting a pure white light. The Power of Destruction that the carnivorous seeds had possessed had vanished, causing them to evolve into new seeds.
[How do I deliver this to master Sejun?]
Flamie fell into contemplation.
A moment later.
(Pip-pip. Did you call for me?)
Paespaes, who had been sucking on a kiwi that Kim Mi-ran had cut in the yard of Sejuns house, flew over hurriedly.
Thanks to the disappeared tower being restored, the safe zone had widened again.
[Yes. Paespaes, please deliver this to master Sejun.]
Flamie pointed to the container full of seeds .
(Pip-pip?)
Paespaes was flustered by Flamies words.
What should I say while giving it?
If Paespaes took this, Sejun would undoubtedly be suspicious.
[Dont worry. If you leave it nearby, Theo will handle it.]
Theo often picked up things randomly, so if Theo brought it, Sejun wouldnt question where it came from or how it was found.
(Pip-pip! I see! Then Ill take it!)
Paespaes put the seeds from the container into the space pouch and flew back to Sejuns house.
***
Ah. This isnt right.
How can they end it like this when theres a decent ending in the original?!!!
Sejun, who had entered the tower with only two episodes left of the drama Reborn Rich, was furious at the ending while eating chicken.
If they were going to ruin the ending like this, they should have done it from the start so I wouldnt have watched it. Not watching would have been the win.
Ah. What a waste of time.
Two hours of his time on Earth were wasted watching the disappointing ending.
Though, it wasnt too upsetting since he spent the time talking with his family and eating the foods he wanted, with the drama mostly just playing in the background.
Puhuhut. Chairman Park, dont get angry over something like that, meow! Chairman Park is already the chairman of Sejun Company, which is much bigger than that, meow!
Right.
Theo, who had eaten his fill of Churu, tried to calm Sejun while lying comfortably on his lap with his back, and
Ppyak!
[Yupgi Tteokbokki is the best!]
Kueng! Kueng!
[Chicken is also the best! Jjajangmyeon is the best too!]
The Black Rabbit and Cuengi sat next to Sejun, busy praising the delivery food they were experiencing for the first time.
Then,
Meow?!
Stretch.
Suddenly, Theo stretched his two front paws forward.
Vice Chairman Theo, whats wrong?
I feel a pull, meow!
Really?!
Could it be that among the items passed down in my family, there is a treasure?
While Sejun was filled with anticipation,
Dadada.
Theo hurriedly ran outside.
Huh?!
Is it not inside the house?
While Sejun was feeling disappointed,
Puhuhut. This is it, meow!
Theo came back holding a leather pouch.
Whats that?
I dont know, meow!
Theo proudly answered Sejuns question without knowing what it was.
Right. Our Theo has always been like this.
Blaming himself for asking Theo, Sejun opened the leather pouch.
And then,
What is this?!
He discovered seeds emitting a pure white light.
What is this?
Just as Sejun was about to examine the seeds,
A message appeared, seemingly prompting him to prepare for departure.
I think I should get going now.
As Sejun put the pouch in his pocket and stood up, his family came out to the front of the house to see him off.
Okay. So all the pizzas have arrived, right?
Yes. Weve received 100 pizzas of each type from Rominos Pizza Ah! The Kyochon Chicken has just arrived too!
Weve loaded 1,000 boxes of each type of soda.
Its all stacked nicely, right?
Of course! Especially since youre paying us 1.5 times the cost!
Weve also loaded 1,000 boxes of each type of ramen!
Outside, Han Tae-jun, Kim Dong-sik, Robin, and Peter were so busy directing the delivery people that they didnt even notice Sejun coming out.
Since Sejun had limited time on Earth, he had planned to fill his Void Storage with delivery food before returning.
However, Robin and Peter, who had received strong orders from the US to help with everything Sejun was doing, stepped in, and
Not wanting to be outdone, Han Tae-jun and Kim Dong-sik joined in, and the four of them worked together to fill Sejuns Void Storage with delivery food and other edibles.
However, Sejuns Void Storage was enormous.
Even after two hours of clearing surrounding roads and emptying marts and restaurants, they hadnt filled even a tenth of the Void Storage.
While they were diligently filling Sejuns Void Storage,
Tae-jun nim, please have the people leave. I think I need to get going.
104.28.193.250
Already?
Yes.
Understood. Withdraw!
Following Sejuns words, Han Tae-jun hurriedly ordered the people in the Void Storage to leave.
As the people exited the storage,
Ill stay longer next time.
Alright. Take care.
Hyung, be careful.
Park Chun-ho and Se-dol said their goodbyes to Sejun.
At that moment,
Sejun cant you tell Aileen not to cook?
Kim Mi-ran held Sejuns hand tightly and spoke in a desperate voice.
It seems she had a hard time when he heard about teaching Aileen how to cook.
Ive tried telling her, but she doesnt listen. Ill try to talk to her again.
Sejun squeezed Kim Mi-rans hand once before letting go.
Then, Ill be going.
Puhuhut. Chairman Parks family, it was nice meeting you, meow!
Ppyak.
[Goodbye!]
Kueng!
[Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle, see you next time!]
Kkihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. Todays hospitality was satisfactory! Ill give you another honor of serving the great Blackie again!]
(Pip-pip. Goodbye!)
[The time for your stay on the 0th floor of the Black Tower has ended.]
Sejun and his companions disappeared while waving their hands.
One hour after Sejun left,
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Shockwaves suddenly came down from the sky above the East Sea, striking the sea surface.
It was the delayed arrival of Cuengis Step Punch that Sejun had used.
Thanks to this, the fishing boats that had gone out to fish returned fully loaded with fish that had been stunned by the shockwaves.
