: Why Are You Only Telling Me This Now?!
<strong>TL: Hanguk</strong>
“What? A bag?”
Of course, it was Mason, who had been keeping watch, who first noticed the ck bag.
“Meow?!”
I’m drawn to it, meow!
Next, Theo, who had been receiving pets on Sejun’sp, spotted the ck bag.
Thud, thud, thud.
Theo quickly ran over and grabbed the ck bag, then
“Chairman Park, take this, meow! It’s something good, meow!”He handed it to Sejun.
And then,
“Puhuhut. Puhuhut.”
Rubbing his head against Sejun’s knee, he basked in happiness.[Bag of the Legendary Merchant Wandering the Nine Towers]
Nine Towers?
In the meantime, Sejun checked the options of the bag with an extraordinary name.[Bag of the Legendary Merchant Wandering the Nine Towers]
→ This bag was created in the promotion test of the ck Tower’s merchant.
→ Materials used include the scales of the Great ck Dragon, a branch of the World Tree, a red bone, the staff of cmity, and a tail feather of the Phoenix.
→ Made from the scales of the Great ck Dragon, it is sturdy, and thanks to the branch of the World Tree with excellent recovery properties, the bag has an enormous capacity.
→ Through the bag, you can randomly go to a floor of one of the Nine Towers every 30 days. (Only the owner of the bag, Legendary Merchant Park Theo, can move, and 1 trillion Tower Coins are automatically consumed every 30 days to connect to another ce.)
→ If you want to change the connected ce, you can spend 500 billion Tower Coins to change the ce. (The ce can be changed up to 5 times within 30 days.)
→ Bound to the Legendary Merchant Park Theo.
→ Usage restriction: Legendary Merchant, Magic power above 10,000
→ Creator: ???, God of ????
→ Grade: ★★★★★
“What?!”
It connects to other towers? Does that mean exchange with other towers is possible?
“Vice Chairman Theo, try opening this.”
“Alright, meow!”
At Sejun’s words, Theo opened the bag, revealing only a space for putting things inside.
“Meow! It’s really spacious, meow! Chairman Park, give this to me, meow!”
Theo spoke in an excited voice while inserting his front paw inside it and waving it around.
“That’s already yours.”
“Puhuhut. I knew Chairman Park would give it to me, meow! Thanks, meow!”
Theo, misunderstanding Sejun’s words, even thanked him as he received the bag.
“Alright. Take this for now.”
When Sejun handed 1 trillion Tower Coins to Theo,
“Meow?! Shall I burn this, meow?”
Theo immediately tried to burn the money.
“No!”
Sejun hastily stopped Theo.
“Put the money into the bag.”
“Got it, meow!”
As Theo put the money into the bag,
Woong.
The bag glowed red.
And then,
“Chairman Park, the bag says it’s connected to another tower, meow!”
“Really? Then try putting your front paw in.”
“Got it, meow!”
Following Sejun’s instructions, Theo put his paw in.
“How is it?”
“I… feel something, meow! It’s wet, meow! What is this, meow?!”
Feeling an unpleasant wetness, Theo put his face into the bag, where a giant centipede had his paw in its mouth.
Of course, thanks to Theo’s Talent: Strong Hair, it wasn’t bitten.
“Meow!”
Theo dealt with the centipede that dared to try and eat his paw.
“Meow?! But where is this, meow?”
Putting his whole body into the bag, Theo looked back.
That’s the entrance I came from, meow.
Behind, just like in the ck Tower, he could see the entrance of the bag. It seemed like the bag could be opened and closed.
And then,[Current Location – 72nd Floor of the Purple Tower]
[Connection will be cut off in 29 days 23 hours 58 minutes.]
Above the bag, the location and remaining time were disyed.
“Puhuhut. I should let Chairman Park know, meow!”
With excited steps, Theo went back into the bag.
But then,[You have been exposed to a deadly poison.]
“Ugh!”
As soon as Theo came out of the bag, Sejun copsed.
The Purple Tower is inherently filled with poisonous air.
“Meow?”
Theo’s fur was covered in poison just from staying in the Purple Tower for a short while.
Kueng! Kueng!
[Dad passed out again! It smells like poison!]
Cuengi quickly pulled out the Detoxifying Green Onion from the snack pouch and fed it to Sejun.
“Cure Poison!”
Iona hurriedly used magic to detoxify the poison on Theo’s fur.
“Mmm…”
As Sejun came to his senses,
Gulp, gulp.
Mason was also drinking an antidote.
“The bag is connected to the 72nd floor of the Purple Tower?”
“That’s right, meow!”
“Hmm. Alright. We’ll have to think a bit more about how to use the bag.”
“Got it, meow! Chairman Park should think a lot, meow!”
“Sure.”
Inner peace.
Sejun calmed his urge to grab and stretch Theo’s chubby cheeks as he rubbed his face against Sejun’s knee. I’ll let it slide today.
There was something more important at the moment.
Since Theo had be a legendary merchant, Sejun nned to throw a party to celebrate it. Today, Chairman Park is treating! Ring the Golden Bell! (TL: Ring the Golden Bell is a idiom which is using to like when winning a bet or to say when someone won apetition or test)
“Legendary Merchant Vice Chairman Theo, wait here.”
Sejun told Theo to wait in the chairman’s office for the surprise party.
“Meow?! No way, meow! I’m going together, meow!”
At Sejun’s words, Theo clung tightly to Sejun’s knee.
But,
“No. Wait.”
“Alright, meow! Legendary Merchant Vice Chairman Theo will wait here, so you have toe back quickly, meow!”
He let go of Sejun’s knee, looking gloomy at Sejun’s firm words.
“I’ll be back in an hour. Guys, let’s go!”
With that, Sejun left with Cuengi and Iona to prepare for the party.
“By the way, Theo~nim, who exactly is that Park Sejun person?”
Mason asked Theo.
Considering his immense reputation, the vast sums of money, and the thousand Great ck Dragon scales he easily took out, he didn’t seem like an ordinary existence…
He had never heard of anyone named Park Sejun.
“Meow? Didn’t I tell you, meow? Park Sejun is Chairman Park, and Chairman Park is the Great ck Dragon, meow!”
“What?! The… Great ck Dragon?!”
Why are you only telling me this now?!
Recalling his disrespectful attitude earlier when he thought Sejun had no reputation, Mason looked at Theo with eyes full of resentment.
If the Great ck Dragon got angry and thought, ‘Huh! Come to think of it, that guy’s attitude earlier was annoying’, he was as good as dead.
As Mason trembled in fear,
“Vice Chairman Theo, let’s go!”
Sejun called out to Theo as he finished getting ready for the party.
“Got it, meow!”
At Sejun’s call, Theo hurriedly ran over and hugged Sejun’s knee tightly.
As Sejun left with Theo,
“Phew.”
Mason let out a sigh of relief.
At that moment,
“Aren’t youing along?”
I’m treating, you know?
Sejun peeked through the door and asked Mason.
“I… I’ming!”
Mason followed Sejun out like amb being dragged to the ughterhouse.
***
“Phew. This is troublesome.”
Apostle of the Creator God, Em Ibenes, sighed.
“What should I do about the young farmer of the ck Tower?”
Em’s concern was Sejun.
Sejun hade the closest to solving the tasks left by the Creator God. And it wasn’t just one or two; Sejun was directly connected to all of them.
However,
“He’s too weak.”
Sejun was too weak to carry out the tasks. She was worried if he could handle whaty ahead.
But there was no one as capable as Sejun to rece him.
“I’ll have to support the young farmer of the ck Tower while monitoring the situation. But how should I support him?”
Em pondered how to help Sejun and thought of someone who could assist him.
“Where is Patrick, the God of Earth, right now?”
Em began searching for Patrick’s location.
***
As Sejun left the headquarters of the Wandering Merchant Association,
Kueng!
Cuengi grewrger and lifted Sejun onto his front paw.
And as they entered the city,
“Wow! Legendary Merchant Park Theo!”
“Wow! Congrattions on bing a Legendary Merchant!”
The city was filled with crowds celebrating Theo’s achievement of bing a Legendary Merchant.
Sejun rented out all the restaurants on the shopping street today and made it so people could eat and drink for free.
When Iona did a single ‘Kyoo-‘, everyone actively cooperated.
“Puhuhut. You are mistaken, meow! This great one is the subordinate of the Great ck Dragon, the Deadly Dragon wed Golden Cat, Legendary Merchant Theo Park, meow!”
Quickly inted with pride from the crowd’s cheers, Theo shouted loudly.
“Yay! Long live the subordinate of the Great ck Dragon, Deadly Dragon wed Golden Cat, Legendary Merchant Theo Park!”
At Theo’s shout, the crowd repeated Theo’s words and shouted enthusiastically.
But why do they sound so desperate? They’re going to get to eat something delicious afterward?
While Sejun was puzzled by the impassioned cries,
Thud. Thud.
Giant Cuengi slowly began a parade through the city.
After making a full round of the city,
Piyo!
[Theo~nim, congrats on bing a Legendary Merchant!]
“Congrattions!”
Kkokki
[Congrattions from me too!]
Piyot and Uren appeared with Phoenix.
Phoenix had arrived discreetly thanks to an invisibility spell cast by Iona, allowing it to move from the 70th to the 75th floor of the Tower without being detected, and it was now hiding in Granier vige.
And Piyot and Uren had been with Phoenix.
“No troubleing here?”
Piyo
[Nope!]
Piyot answered Sejun’s question.
At that moment,
Thud. Thud.
Kueng!
[Dad, we’ve arrived at the restaurant!]
Cuengi set Sejun and his party down on the rooftop of thergest restaurant in the shopping street and then shrank back to his normal size.
As the group sat at the table on the rooftop, chefs who had been waiting in advance brought out dishes to the table.
“Puhuhut.”
Kuhehehe.
Kkihihit.
Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot.
Piyiyi.
Uhehehe.
Sejun and his party enjoyed the food and the party.
“But how did Uren pass the Legendary Merchant promotion test?”
Sejun asked Uren, who waspeting with Cuengi to put food into his mouth.
Considering the difficulty of Theo’s promotion test, it was hard to understand how the unlucky Uren had be a Legendary Merchant.
“Huh? Me? Actually…”
Uren exined how he became a Legendary Merchant.
Of course, he had recruited the three reputable people with money, and naturally, solved the contract requirement for 1000 employment contracts with money too.
“And what about the strength test?”
“Ah. For that? You pass if you exceed 100 on the strength reader. You just need to be capable of basic self-defense.”
“Ah. Is that so?”
What? He thought they had to have high strength as well to be considered versatile in business and strength…
“The fourth test…”
Bringing 11 trillion Tower Coins for the fourth test was too easy for Uren, who could make gold.
“For the final test, I realized as soon as I saw red letterse out from the beginning. I absolutely can’t pass this alone.”
“So?”
“Uhehe. So I surrounded myself with people who were lucky. Fortunately, I ended up hiring a mercenary who genuinely had great fortune. Thanks to that, I passed the test easily.”
“Really?”
What? That’s too much of a happy ending for Uren.
“But… that mercenary disappeared the day after I became a Legendary Merchant. He took the merchant’s wagon, which sells by itself, and my entire fortune. It turns out he was a notorious thief known called Faceless Loon.”
Phew. As expected… This is more like Uren.
Hearing Uren’s story, Sejun felt strangely at ease.
The thief, Loon, seemed to be the same type as Theo. Someone who took Uren’s misfortune and turned it into his own luck.
“Puhuhut. This is good, meow!”
Thank goodness.
As Sejun looked at Theo lying on hisp, receiving pets, he felt relieved that Theo hadn’t strayed down a bad path.
At that moment,[A job quest has been triggered.]
[Quest: Find Patrick, the God of Earth sealed on the 35th floor of the Gold Tower, and break the seal.]
Reward: Arge amount of job experience points, 5 drops of Growth Elixir
A quest message suddenly appeared in front of Sejun.
“Job quest?”
So suddenly?
While Sejun was puzzled,[A quest has been triggered.]
[Quest: Feed the Great Dragons afflicted with the Curse of Forgetfulness by giving them each a ss of Golden Samyangju.]
Reward: 3 vials of Growth Elixir for every 1000 Great Dragons whose curse is lifted
Another quest message appeared.
And then,[A quest has been triggered.]
[Quest: Release the seals of the gods.]
Reward: 5 vials of Growth Elixir for every five gods’ seals released
Another quest appeared once more.
The support from Em, the Apostle of the Creator God, was quite generous.
