<strong>TL: Hanguk</strong>
ck Tower, 55th Floor.
Ppiik!
Ppaek! Ppaek!
Ppyak! Ppyak!
Peeep!
When the rabbits who had left to meet Sejun returned much earlier than expected,
Why are they back already?
Did something happen to them on the way?Their parent were very worried
But,
“Oh?! That’s a dragon tattoo?!”
When they saw the dragon tattoos engraved on the baby rabbits’ left front paws,
They met Sejun~nim.
That’s why they came back so early.
The parent rabbits were relieved.
Only Sejun, Theo, and Cuengi carried dragon scales that could engrave the dragon tattoos.
Moreover, Theo and Cuengi spent almost all of their time with Sejun.
In other words, having the dragon tattoo most likely meant they had met Sejun.
When the baby rabbits reunited with their parents,
“Dad, I met Sejun~nim!”
“Mom, Sejun~nim doesn’t have horns! You didn’t know that, did you?”
“Sejun~nim has two arms!”
“Uncle Theo is kind! He’s not scary!”
As if they alone knew everything, the baby rabbits started chattering about Sejun and Theo to their parents.
I miss the times I used to y with Sejun~nim.
There were moments when Theo~nim took care of us.
Listening to the baby rabbits, the parent rabbits recalled their own childhoods. After all, they too had times like that.
The baby rabbits and parent rabbits smiled as they reminisced about other memories they shared with Sejun.
While the baby rabbits and parent rabbits smiled happily,
“Wolha, I’m here.”
“Wolgang, you’re back?”
Wolgang and Wolha called each other’s names and blushed.
Calling each other by their new names felt a little awkward but also exciting.
“But Wolgang, did Sejun~nim name us? I was so surprised when he suddenly gave us names.”
“Yeah. Iined to Sejun~nim, saying, ‘How can you not give us names?!’”
“Really?!”
“Yeah.”
Wolgang had gotten a taste for bragging andtely told lies whenever he opened his mouth.
“Wolgang, you’re so cool!”
“Ahem. Well, it’s nothing…”
Thanks to this, his status as the head of the household was greatly elevated.
“Then shall we go to our room and talk?”
But it seemed he had elevated it too much.
“Huh?! Can’t we just stay here…?”
“Follow me!”
“Ah. Alright! I’ll go, so let go of my ears!”
Wolgang was being dragged away by Wolha by his ear.
***
Morning on the 89th floor of the tower.
“Ugh. It’s hot.”
Sejun woke up sweating profusely in a damp state.
Even though he had slept surrounded by ice on the frozenke, Iona used magic to keep the bonfire burning all night and,
Being snuggled up with the furballs, Theo, Cuengi, and ckie, made him so warm that he ended up sweating.
At that moment,
[Hehe. Sejun~nim, you’re awake?]
A cool breeze brushed Sejun’s face along with mie’s voice.
2a09:bac1:40c0:10::119:15
“Ah. I can breathe now. Thanks, mie.”
Sejun ced mie, who had fanned him with her leaves, onto his palm and petted her gently. Then he gathered hispanions and stepped outside.
“Wow. It’s so cool.”
The cold air quickly cooled his sweat, and soon, the sweat started to freeze.
“Ugh. It’s cold.”
Hurriedly, Sejun went back inside the igloo, shook off the frozen sweat, warmed up by the fire, and prepared breakfast.
“In a ce like this, we need to eat something warm.”
The menu was a spicy fish porridge made with the piranha they caught yesterday, with pieces of dough added in.
When the ice attribute Ice Piranha was made into a dish, it had the effect of increasing cold resistance.
A short whileter,
“Aileen, eat this.”
Sejun handed a huge pot of fish porridge to Aileen.
Then,
“Guys,e eat.”
He scooped portions of fish porridge into bowls and handed them out to Cuengi and ckie family.
Sejun gave grilled fish and roasted peanuts to Theo and Iona, both of whom were quite particr about their food. Seeing them like this, they definitely looked like a well-matched couple.
Now it’s my turn to eat.
After taking care of everyone, Sejun scooped up arge spoonful of the fish porridge.
“Whoo. Whoo.”
He blew on it to cool it down and then put it into his mouth.
Gulp.
As the spicy fish porridge slid down his throat,
“Keuh. This hits the spot.”
The warmth spread through his body, and he couldn’t help but exim in satisfaction.
After warming himself up with the hot porridge,
“Fireball.”
He used Iona’s magic to break the ice that had frozen over theke overnight.
“Alright. Let the 2nd ice fishingpetition begin!”
And just like that, today’s ice fishing contest started again.
“Ah, I’ll add a new rule today. If you catch a Frost Giant Piranha, it’ll count as 5,000 regr piranhas, and if you catch an Super-Giant Piranha, it’ll count as 15,000 regr ones.”
Since Theo and Cuengi dominated the contest yesterday, Sejun added a new rule to make things more interesting.
Although the rule was added for fun, there were always those who took even lightheartedpetitions way too seriously.
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. Great ckie has a brilliant idea! Mukbupal, you’ll be the bait to lure the Super-Giant Piranha!]
Ppuu?! Ppuu?!
[What?! Me?!]
Mukbupal, startled by ckie’s words, began to back away.
However,
Kking!
[Guys, tie him up!]
The youngest had no choice in the matter.
Kking!
[Mukbupal, you can do it!]
Ppuuuu!!!
And so, with ckie’s encouragement, Mukbupal was tossed into the iceke instead of slime meat.
Sploosh.
As soon as he entered the water, the piranhas, attracted by Mukbupal’s scent, swarmed toward him.
Ppuu!
[You bastards! How dare you attack the great Mukbupal, who can devour the seas?! Unforgivable!]
p. p.
Mukbupal easily defeated the approaching piranhas with his legs. Thanks to being named by Sejun, all of his stats had increased by 888.
While taking down the swarming piranhas, Mukbupal activated his power,
‘Ink Eight Shadow Clones!’
Ppuuuuuu!
He spouted ink, creating clones that scattered in all directions.
The ink clones, resembling Mukbupal, spread out to search for and lure the Super-Giant Piranha.
Though each clone only had 20% of the original’s power, it was enough to fend off approaching piranhas while moving.
While Mukbupal and his clones were busy searching for the Super-Giant Piranha,
[Hehe. Sejun~nim, I’ve got a bite!]
“Got it! Ucha!”
“Puhuhut. I’ve caught one, meow!”
Kueng!
[Cuengi caught another one too!]
Everyone except ckie family was busy catching piranhas.
Meanwhile,
“Kyoo-Kyoo-Kyoo! Why aren’t any fish biting my bait?!”
Despite choosing an excellent spot where there were more fish than water, Iona somehow managed to catch very few piranhas.
Haha. The world really is fair.
Sejun chuckled as he watched Iona struggle.
At that moment,
Boom!
A hole in the iceke shot up water like a fountain, and piranhas began to fall freely from the sky along with the water.
Then,
<em>“Magic, move ording to mymand. Invisible Hand.”</em>
Iona caught the falling piranhas from the water in the air and dered triumphantly,
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot! I’m first ce now!”
Sheughed happily.
“That’s cheating. Only fish caught with fishing rods count in thispetition.”
“Kyoot?!”
As Sejun reminded Iona of the rules of the ice fishing contest,
Ppuuu!!!
Underneath the iceke, Mukbupal was desperately running away from the Super-Giant Piranha.
Just a moment earlier,
Found it!
One of Mukbupal’s clones had located the Super-Giant Piranha and lured it to Mukbupal. That part had gone well.
The problem was that 1,000 Frost Giant Piranhas, guarding the Super-Giant Piranha, hade along as well.
To make matters worse,
Wait?! To catch this thing, I have to get eaten?
Mukbupal btedly realized that for the n to seed, he would have to be swallowed.
I don’t want that!
Mukbupal fled at full speed, and the Super-Giant Piranha, along with the Frost Giant Piranhas, began to chase him.
He created clones to scatter and distract the enemies’ attention, but the Super-Giant Piranha stubbornly pursued only Mukbupal.
In the process, the water churned violently, creating fountains.
Despite his desperate attempts to escape,
Chomp.
Mukbupal was eventually swallowed by the Super-Giant Piranha. His trivial abilities were no match for it.
And then,
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe! It’s hooked! Pull it up, guys!]
The ckie family excitedly pulled on their fishing rods.
However,
Kking?!
The Super-Giant Piranha’s strength was too much for the ckie family to handle.
Kking!
[Butler! Help!]
Swoosh.
ckie, being dragged along with the fishing rod, called out to Sejun.
“Huh?! ckie!”
Sejun rushed forward and grabbed ckie, but,
“Huh?!”
Swoosh.
He was dragged along too.
Kking?!
[Why are youing with me, butler?!]
“Sorry.”
I’m just a sunfish, after all.
Finally, Sejun’s true feelings came out.
Just before Sejun and ckie were about to plunge into the freezingke,
Kueng!
Cuengi used telekinesis to lift both Sejun and ckie back up, pulling the Super-Giant Piranha along with the fishing rod.
However,
Snap.
The fishing line wasn’t strong enough to hold the Super-Giant Piranha.
“Huh?!”
Kking!
[Mukbupal!]
As the line snapped, only Sejun and ckie made it back to the surface. Thus began the Mukbupal Rescue Operation.
Of course, it wasn’t anything fancy.
After briefly pausing the ice fishingpetition,
“Let’s go!”
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!”
[Hurry, let’s save Mukbupal!]
Kueng!
Kking!
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot.”
Everyone got into a waterproof bubble created by Theo and began searching theke.
“Wow.”
Why is it so empty.
Thekebed waspletely barren, a result of the piranhas having run wild.
After about an hour of scouring theke,
Kugugung.
The Super-Giant Piranha and the Frost Giant Piranhas spotted Sejun’s group and swam toward them with their enormous mouths wide open.
“Huh?! There’s Mukbupal!”
Fortunately, Mukbupal was clinging to the Super-Giant Piranha’s gums, unharmed.
Kking!
[Mukbupal!]
Ppuu!
[ckie~nim, you came to save me!]
Kking! Kking! Kking!
[Of course! We’re family! Ggomi! Use your web!]
Kkiruk!
Swoosh.
Following ckie’smand, Ggomi shot a spider web at Mukbupal and tied him up.
Kking!
[Pull!]
The ckie family and Sejun pulled Mukbupal into Theo’s waterproof bubble.
Kueng! Kueng!
[They messed with our Mukbupal! Let’s teach them a lesson!]
Crackle!
Once Mukbupal was rescued, Cuengi pulled out his thunderbolt staff and struck the Super-Giant Piranha and the surrounding piranhas.[Intermediate Herbalist Cuengi Park has defeated Super-Giant Piranha, the Ruler of the Ice Lake.]
[You’ve gained 50 million experience points, which is 50% of the experience points earned by Intermediate Herbalist Cuengi.]
[Intermediate Herbalist Cuengi Park has defeated the Frost Giant Piranhas.]
…
..
.
With the piranhas defeated, the Mukbupal Rescue Operation was sessfullypleted.
And,[By reducing the piranha poption, the ecosystem of the iceke has begun to recover.]
[Quest has beenpleted.]
[You have been recognized as the rightful owner of the Ice Lake Land Deed on the 89th floor of the ck Tower.]
The quest was alsopleted.
Although the ice fishingpetition came to an ambiguous end,
“Puhuhut. The Super-Giant grilled fish and the Frost Giant grilled fish are all mine, Vice Chairman Theo’s, meow!”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Congrattions, Theo~nim.”
[Hehe. Sejun~nim, that was fun!]
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. There’s so much to eat!]
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. This time, the stars were us, the ckie family!]
Everyone seemed satisfied with the results.
However,
“Now, let’s make sleds and y.”
Thepetition wasn’t over yet.
Sejun quickly crafted sleds and sticks for pushing on the ice using wooden nks and Fire Ant carapace made of metal material.
“Alright. Stand at the starting line.”
At Sejun’s words, the group each got onto their sleds and took their positions.
“Go!”
“Meow!”
Kueng!
“Kyoot! Wind.”
Shwooong.
In an instant, Theo, Cuengi, and Iona reached the other side of the iceke.
Chwak! Chwak!
[Sejun~nim, hang in there! At this rate, ckie will catch up to you!]
“Yeah! Huff, huff!”
Once again, it was a battle forst ce between Sejun and ckie family.
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe! Guys, push harder! If we try just a little more, we can beat the butler!]
Under ckie’smand, the ckie family diligently pushed their sled forward.
Ppuu!
In particr, Mukbupal used his clones, wielding 72 sticks, to push the ice in perfect sync. The gap between Sejun and ckie family began to close rapidly.
A little whileter,
“Huff… huff… I won.”
Sejun barely managed to reach the other side of theke, overtaking ckie family.
“Puhuhut. Great Hybrid Chairman Park, I senses something pulling from about 10 km away, meow!”
Chairman Park, your face looks ugly, meow!
While Sejun panted, Theo looked south while kneading Sejun’s face with his front paw and
“Kyoot?! If it’s 10 km in that direction, that’s where Amur Lange~nim, the Second Apostle of Creation, once stayed!”
Following Theo’s gaze, Iona spoke.
“Hehehe. Is that so?”
If it’s where the Second Apostle of Creation stayed, there must be something valuable there.
Sejun smiled as he began preparing for a new adventure.
Kking…
[We lost to the butler…]
Not knowing that the Creation God’s Third Apostle behind him was dejected from the wounds of defeat.
