: How About Eomdol Then?
<strong>TL: Hanguk</strong>
1st floor of the 10th Tower.
‘Me?!’
Can you see me?
When the man eating popcorn pointed at his own face in response to mie’s question,
‘Yes, you.’
Nod. Nod.
mie shook its roots up and down.
“Is someone there?”Ste asked, focusing on the direction mie’s roots were pointing.
But
There’s nothing there?
Ste couldn’t see anything.
“You’re not teasing me because you won, are you?”
Ste red fiercely at mie.
[What?! Can’t you see the person eating popcorn over there?]
mie said, sounding frustrated.
“Popcorn? What’s popcorn?”
[Popcorn is made when you apply heat to Stamina Corn grown by the master, and the inside bursts… Huh?! How are you eating the master’s popcorn?]
Did you steal my master’s crops?!
mie, who was exining popcorn to Ste, became angry and showed hostility towards the man.
-Ah. Don’t misunderstand, I didn’t steal it. But it’s impressive that you can see me. Is it because you’re Park Sejun’s tree who cleared the 10th Tower’s trial?
The man hurriedly exined, seemingly wanting to clear up the misunderstanding.
“Huh?! That voice is the Administrator?”
Ste reacted to the man’s familiar voice.
-Yes. Let me formally introduce myself.
When the man turned off the observer mode, a man with brown hair holding popcorn appeared in Ste’s eyes.
“I am Hamer, the Administrator of the 10th Tower and the God of Farming.”
When Hamer introduced himself to the two,
[Oh?! Are you really Hamer-nim?!]
mie looked at Hamer as if she was looking at a celebrity.
“Hoho. Yes. I am Hamer, the God of Farming…”
As Hamer felt proud due to mie’s attitude,
[Hamer-nim! Quickly acknowledge my master’s farming skills!]
If Hamer-nim acknowledges, then master only need Patrick-nim’s recognition!
mie grabbed Hamer’s legs with her roots and started pleading him to quickly acknowledge Sejun.
“No. I can’t acknowledge him so easily.”
[Why not?! My master is really good at farming!]
“Of course, I know that.”
Hamer, being the God of Farming, already knew well about the farming skills of Sejun, the Tower Farmer.
[Then why don’t you acknowledge my master?]
“This is a sacred test of the gods! It can’t be rushed! There are procedures to follow!”
[But…]
“Hey now! I said wait!”
Hamer shouted loudly at mie.
Park Sejun. The popcorn is running low. Harvest the Stamina Corn!
He started fulfilling his selfish desires while giving Sejun a quest.
And then,
[Leah-nim recognized him right away though…]
mie looked at Hamer with suspicious eyes. It seemed like mie might hit Hamer soon.
***
Morning at the 99th floor of the ck Tower.
Theo went to work at the Green Tower, and Cuengi went to tend herbs in the western forest, and[You have nted Destruction Devourer seeds in the magic-infusednd.]
…
..
.
Sejun was nting the Destruction Devourer seeds that he had collected so far.
And then,
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Guys, follow the leader!]
Kiki!
Kiki!
ckie, who was ying the leader role with the Destruction Devourers under the pretext of protecting Sejun, was doing so again today.
As Sejun was nting seeds,
“Chairman Park, I’m back, meow!”
At lunchtime, Theo, who had sold out all the goods at the Green Tower, returned.
“Vice Chairman Theo, good job.”
“Puhuhut. Of course, I did a good job, meow!”
Theo emphasized how hard he had worked, as if he had been waiting for Sejun’s words.
Praise me quickly, meow!
It was to receive praise from Sejun.
“Yes. Our Vice Chairman did a great job.”
Sejun gave Theo some Churu and petted his belly as he climbed onto hisp.
“Puhuhut.”
Slurp slurp slurp.
As Theo began to eat the Churu with a bright smile in response to Sejun’s praise,
Kking?! Kking!
[Hey! What about me?! Give me food too!]
ckie, who had been ying the leader role, hurriedly ran over and sat in front of Sejun.
“Here. ckie, you get some dried sweet potatoes.”
Kihihit.
Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.
After feeding the two, Sejun also took out a few convenience store triangr kimbap and started eating them one by one.
At that moment,
Kihihit.
ckie quickly ran away with a triangle kimbap that hadn’t been unwrapped yet.
“Hey! It’s dangerous if you eat the stic wrap!”
Sejun hurriedly tried to stop him, but
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. I’m going to unwrap and eat it myself! And the great ckie can digest anything!]
Ignoring Sejun’s words, ckie ran away quickly.
But then,
iling. iling.
Kking?!
ckie, who was running hard, suddenly realized he was running in midair.
And then,
Bang! Crackle.
Bang! Crackle.
He saw Cuengi slowly approaching him, hitting his own front paws with the Thunderbolt Staff.
Caught in Cuengi’s telekinesis, ckie couldn’t move in midair.
Kueng?
[ckie, are you ready to get a taste of justice?]
ckie shook his head vigorously in response to Cuengi’s question.
Kueng.
[Then hand it over.]
When Cuengi extended his front paw,
Kking…
ckie reluctantly spat out the triangr kimbap with a regretful face.
Thus, ckie’s attempt at stealing the triangr kimbap ended in failure,
“If you wanted to eat it, you should have just asked.”
ckie listened to Sejun’s nagging.
Kking!
[I wanted to unwrap it myself!]
“Oh. Is that so? Then go ahead and try.”
Realizing why ckie had tried to take the triangr kimbap, Sejun handed it to ckie to let him unwrap it.
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. The great ckie will unwrap it!]
Excited with Sejun’s permission, ckie began unwrapping the triangr kimbap.
But,
Rustle.
Rustle.
ckie’s mouth structure made it too difficult to unwrap the triangr kimbap’s packaging.
Moreover, every time ckie, who had dragon teeth, applied a bit too much force, small holes appeared in the triangr kimbap.
Kking?!
[Damn it! Why isn’t this working?!]
ckie got irritated when the packaging wouldn’t unwrap even after struggling for a while.
Fine! I’ll just eat it whole!
As ckie was about to take a big bite of the triangr kimbap with the wrap still on,
Kuhehehe. Kueng!
[Hehe. It’s easy if you unwrap it step by step from the first part!]
Cuengi, who was watching ckie while unwrapping and eating his own triangr kimbap effortlessly, said,
Kueng!
[No, you can’t do that!]
Cuengi lightly swung his Thunderbolt Staff to stop ckie.
Thwack! Crackle.
Kkiiieeet!
ckie, struck by the Thwack! Crackle, shivered and convulsed.
“That’s why you should just eat what I have unwrapped for you. Why are you being so stubborn?”
As Sejun was looking at ckie pitifully,[A quest has been triggered.]
[Quest: Harvest 1 million Stamina Corns and get recognized for your farming skills by Hamer, God of Farming.]
Stamina Corn (0/1 million)
Reward: Recognition from Hamer, God of Farming, 1 drop of Enhancing Elixir
Hamer’s quest appeared.
Hamer has the
, which allows him to receive 1% of the crops harvested by tower farmers.
Therefore, to replenish his diminishing popcorn supply, he issued a quest to Sejun to harvest the Stamina Corn.
“1 million?”
It was arge number, but for Sejun, who harvested tens of thousands of crops daily, it wasn’t much.
Maybe it’ll take about three months?
It was just a matter of time.[You have harvested Stamina Corn.]
…
..
.
After having lunch, Sejun spent the afternoon harvesting corn.
He did not use the five drops of Harvest Elixir he received uponpleting the White Tower’s quest on the corn.
Each corn seed produced only about 20 ears of corn, and since corn is an annual nt, it had to be harvested by cutting down the entire stalk, making the use of Harvest Elixir extremely inefficientpared to other crops.
Three hourster.
“Guys, clean it.”
Moo!
The ck Minotaurs began to happily eat the remaining corn stalks in the harvested cornfield.
And then,[You have nted Stamina Corn seeds in magic-infused soil.]
…
..
.
After the ck Minotaurs cleaned up the cornfield, Sejun started nting corn again.
While Sejun was busy nting corn,
Kiki! Kiki! Kiki!
Kiki! Kiki! Kiki!
Suddenly, the Destruction Devourers, sensing something, began running in one direction.
Kking?
[Guys, where are you going?]
ckie, who had been ying on top of the Destruction Devourers, naturally moved along with them.
Thus, ckie went on another unintentional adventure.
***
The merchant corridor connecting the 90th and 99th floors of the ck Tower.
Piyo! Piyo!
[Uren-nim, we’re almost there! Hang in there!]
“Yes!”
Piyot, sitting on Uren’s shoulder, cheered him on.
They were moving to the 99th floor to deliver the money they had collected to Theo.
And then,
Are we finally going to see Fenrir-nim?
Krueger, who had been secretly following them for several days, was filled with anticipation at the thought of meeting ckie.
But,
“Stop! Hand over everything you have!”
As expected, Uren’s misfortune didn’t disappoint. A robber appeared and blocked their path.
Piyo!
[Uren-nim, this is really getting tiresome!]
“Hehehe. Sorry.”
Piyo! Piyo!
[Forget it! Let’s deal with them quickly!]
“Okay!”
Piyot flew swiftly toward the robbers, with Uren following closely behind.
Ah. Can we just get going already!
Krueger, also annoyed, moved the ground slightly to catch the robber’s foot, assisting in the battle.
Although he didn’t want to help, he had no choice but to intervene to avoid further dys.
A little whileter,
Piyihihi. Piyo!
[Stamp here!]
Piyot smiled and received the robbers’ stamps after subduing them.
Following Theo’s example, no matter how long it took, he always made sure to turn anyone who attacked him into a ve.
Thanks to this, Sejun’s stats continued to rise even when Theo was resting, due to his title: ve King.
As they finished getting all the stamps and were about to move again,
Rumble.
A massive number of Destruction Devourers approached.
And then,
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. The great ckie is here!]
ckie barked arrogantly from atop the Destruction Devourers.
Piyo?
“What’s this?”
Piyot and Uren were puzzled as they watched ckie and the Destruction Devourers.
Kiki!
Kiki!
The Destruction Devourers surrounded Krueger, who had been in disguise.
Sensing the aura of destruction emanating from Krueger’s fragment, they hade rushing.
Burp!
Burp!
Nearly two million Destruction Devourers began to absorb Krueger’s aura.
Rumble.
Krueger had no choice but to reveal himself.
Kking?!
[Krueger?!]
ckie barked upon recognizing Krueger.
-Fenrir-nim! This is bad! Other Apostles of Destruction are…
Krueger, seeing ckie, hurriedly tried to convey that other Apostles of Destruction were targeting him.
Kking!
[Hey! Quickly take out your core!]
ckie shouted at Krueger.
-Yes!
Crunch.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Krueger’s fragment put his hand into his chest and removed the core at ckie’smand.
Kking!
[Throw it over there!]
-Yes!
True to his loyalty as a subordinate of Fenrir, Krueger threw his core to the Destruction Devourers, causing his rocky body to copse as his power faded.
Piyo? Piyo!
[Huh?! The Apostle of Destruction has fallen on his own!]
Piyot, who had been watching while recovering his strength to fight Krueger, eximed.
“Hehe. We got lucky this time.”
Piyo! Piyo!
[Uren-nim, don’t say things like that! It’s irritating!]
“Ah. Sorry…”
As Piyot and Uren were feeling relieved looking at Krueger who had suddenly copsed on his own,
Kking!
ckie went into the cracks of the fallen rock that was Krueger’s body and came out carrying something on his back.
-To be carried on Fenrir-nim’s back… it’s truly an honor!
Krueger, now the size of a thumb due to his lost power, spoke in a voice full of emotion.
Kking!
[Krueger, from now on, call me the great ckie-nim!]
-Yes! Great ckie-nim!
Thus, Krueger joined the 99th floor of the ck Tower.
Not knowing that he would soon receive a new name from Sejun.
A little whileter,
“Nice to meet you. You don’t have a name? How about Eomdol then?”
Since you’re the size of a thumb, let’s call you Eomdol. (TL: Sejun’s bad naming sense strikes again. Basically, it’s abination of thumb and stone, so the literal trantion would be Thumb Stone. )
How dare you call Krueger, the 7th seat of the Apostles of Destruction and the Destroyer of Mountains, Eomdol?!
‘Should I kill him?’
Can I kill this guy?
Krueger sought permission from ckie with his eyes.
And then,
Kking?! Kking!
[Eomdol, bow your head!]
-Yes!
When Sejun wasn’t around, Eomdol, who was dragged away by ckie, received a severe scolding.
