YM778.TV Chapter 483: She Accepted This?!
Chapter 483: She Accepted This?!
[You have used the Seed Shop Random Period Reduction Ticket.][The next Seed Shop will open in 20 days.]
When Sejun tore the reduction ticket, the luckiest possible outcome of 10 days naturally appeared.
As expected of Vice Chairman Theo!
Sejun was excited as he looked at the message.
At this rate, if he used just two more reduction tickets, he could reopen the Seed Shop immediately.
“Hehehe. Vice Chairman Theo, let’s go again!”
“Puhuhut. Good, meow! Everything is great when I’m with Chairman Park, meow!”
Sejun, overjoyed, and Theo, who was excited because Sejun was, celebrated together.Hehehe. It feels like the whole universe is helping me.
Feeling his heart swell with happiness,
Riiip.
He tore another reduction ticket, and once again, the period was reduced by 10 days.
Hehehe. Nice. If I just tear one more reduction ticket, the Seed Shop will reopen, right?
Grinning, Sejun picked up a new reduction ticket.
At that moment,
[Cheating has been detected.]An ominous message in red letters appeared.
Cheating?!
[Two entities have used one exchange ticket together.][This is considered cheating.]
[All benefits from the Seed Shop Random Period Reduction Ticket obtained through cheating are nullified.]
[The next Seed Shop will open in 30 days.]
[As a penalty for cheating, all 7 Seed Shop Random Period Reduction Tickets in possession will be confiscated.]
[The content of the Seed Shop Random Period Reduction Ticket has been modified to prevent cheating.]
The system started messing with Sejun again.
“Hey! How is this even fair?!”
Sejun was furious, not as much about the benefits being nullified, but more about the confiscation of the unused reduction tickets, which were like unclaimed lottery tickets.
Unable to contain his rising anger, he shouted fiercely.
But…
The system, as if it had finished its business, gave no response.
And then,
“Hahk! Hahk! You made the great Chairman Park angry, meow! How dare you call the great Chairman Park and my teamwork cheating, meow?! Unforgivable, meow!”
We are one, meow!
Theo was also enraged at the system, though for a different reason than Sejun.
“I will impeach the system, meow!”
Though Theo tried to impeach the system,
[The system is not an entity that can be impeached.]The system was not something that could be impeached.
However,
“I don’t care, meow! It’s still impeachment, meow!”
Theo, unwilling to back down, continued to try to impeach the system.
“Impeachment, meow!”
[The system is not an entity that can be impeached.]“Impeachment, meow!”
[The system is not an entity that can be impeached.]…
..
.
Theo and the system kept repeating the same phrases back and forth.
After dozens of exchanges,
[Only those with system access permissions can modify the system.]The system suddenly gave a different answer.
“Who has those permissions, meow?!”
I’ll impeach them, meow!
[Currently, there is no entity with access to the system.]“Meow?! No one, meow?! Then how do I get access, meow?!”
[To gain system access permissions…][Unauthorized access to the system detected.]
[Access to the system has been blocked.]
“Meow?! How can you cut me off in the middle of talking?! Tell me, meow!”
While Theo was arguing with the system,
[You’re a Field Lv. 8 has been activated.][You have planted an acorn seed in the body of Krueger, the Destroyer of Mountains and 7th seat of the Apostle of Destruction.]
…
..
.
“Hum hum hum.”
By this time, Sejun had already calmed down and was humming a tune while he diligently planted 100 acorn seeds inside the Void Storage.
Crack.
The acorn seeds began to sprout and grow rapidly.
While waiting for the acorn seeds to grow into trees, Sejun
“Hm.”
[Seed of Abundance]→ ???
→ You need to harvest to check the options.
[Starfruit Seed]
→ ???
→ You must harvest it to check the options.
He examined the two transcendence grade seeds.
As expected, there was no information about the seeds this time either.
I guess planting them won’t help much either, huh?
Transcendence grade seeds will not germinate unless special germination conditions are met, so Sejun began by searching for those conditions.
For the Seed of Abundance…
“Since it’s related to abundance…”
Sejun placed it in a location with plenty of water, nutrients, and sunlight, and observed its condition for a long time, but there was no reaction.
Then for the Starfruit…
“If it’s ‘Star’? Does it need starlight?” (TL: This is actually carambola, which is also called starfruit. Its shape is like a star when sliced in cross-section, giving it a star form.)
Since the name contained the word ‘star,’ Sejun thought it might need starlight.
104.28.193.250
“Ajax, place this somewhere where it can get good starlight.”
He placed the Starfruit where it could receive starlight in the White Tower, which is always at night.
One hour later:
[The White Tower’s slave asks if you want to keep leaving the Starfruit seed there, as it hasn’t changed at all.]
“No. Ajax, are your powers currently sealed?”
[The White Tower’s slave says yes.]
“Got it. I’ll summon you now. Summon Ajax.”
Sejun summoned Ajax to the 99th floor of the Black Tower to have lunch together after a long time.
The sealed Ajax appeared in front of Sejun holding the Starfruit seed.
“Sejun hyung! I missed you!”
As soon as Ajax appeared, he energetically flew toward Sejun in excitement.
Thud!
Though it was quite a strong impact, Sejun didn’t feel any pain, thanks to the Blessing of Peace which reduced attack power by 25%.
“Ajax, have you been well?”
“Yeah, hyung!”
As Sejun was chatting with Ajax about various things while heading to the kitchen
Kking! Kking!
[Hey! Butler No. 1, the great Blackie is hungry! Give me food, quickly!]
Inside the kitchen, Blackie was barking hard, demanding food from Sejun No.1.
Of course, Sejun had instructed Sejun No. 1 not to give food to Blackie, so no food was provided.
Kking?!
[Did you think I can’t eat if Butler No. 1 doesn’t give me food?!]
Hop. Hop.
Blackie jumped from the floor to a chair and then from the chair to the table.
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. Now this is mine! Karurur, grab some too!]
Caw!
Chomp.
Blackie grabbed three pieces of roasted and dried sweet potato that Sejun No.1 had prepared, while Karurur grabbed one piece and fled.
But…
“Gotcha, you little rascal.”
Kking…
Caught in the act, Blackie was arrested on the spot.
“Stay still.”
He was exiled into the sling bag.
With Blackie and his minions secured in the sling bag, Sejun said,
“Sejun No. 1, make some pancakes for Ajax. He loves them.”
Nod.
He had Sejun No.1 cook pancakes, and as soon as they were ready,
“Hup!”
Vwoom.
Sejun infused magic into the ingredients and made thousands of pancakes.
A little later,
Slurp.
“Mmm, this is great.”
After finishing lunch, Sejun sent Ajax back to the White Tower and was sipping coffee that Barista Cuengi had brewed, feeling quite content.
And beside him,
Kuehehehe.
Cuengi, with a proud smile, was putting money into his pocket money pouch.
The coffee wasn’t free. Sejun had agreed to give Cuengi 10 Tower Coins each time he brewed a cup of coffee.
As Sejun enjoyed his leisurely afternoon coffee,
[The third competition of the Harvest Festival, the Grape Wine Drinking Contest, will begin shortly.][Participants who wish to compete should gather at the Bountiful Grape Cluster Altar.]
A message appeared, inviting participants to register for the wine-drinking competition.
[Time remaining for registration: 4 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds.]As expected from a drinking competition, it was scheduled for the evening.
“Register.”
After Sejun signed up at the Bountiful Grape Cluster Altar and turned around,
[Please quickly designate a proxy guardian deity to become the guardian deity of <Inos> in your place.]A message appeared.
“Ah.””
I forgot because of the Seed Shop.
But who should I choose?
Sejun fell into thought, pondering who to appoint as the proxy guardian deity.
Then,
[The destruction of <Inos> has accelerated by 1% due to the lack of a designated proxy guardian deity.][The longer you delay appointing a proxy guardian deity for <Inos>, the faster its destruction will proceed.]
Messages appeared again, as if urging Sejun.
At first, the Inos tribe believed they had no guardian deity to protect them. But through Paespaes, they began to believe in Sejun as their guardian deity, filling them with hope.
However, when the guardian deity didn’t respond, they quickly lost the hope they had just barely gained and were spiraling into self-destruction.
Oh?!
“Leah! I’ll designate Leah, the God of Abundance, as the proxy guardian deity!”
Upon hearing that Inos was facing destruction, Sejun hurriedly appointed Leah, the only god he had ever directly communicated with, as the proxy guardian deity.
Since it had mentioned he could revoke the position at any time, it should be fine, right?
So, after Sejun appointed Leah as the proxy guardian deity,
[How would you like to allocate the shares with the proxy guardian deity of <Inos>? (Minimum allocation 1)]“Obviously, the minimum share. I’ll set it to 1.”
Once the allocation was decided,
[A proposal has been sent to Leah, the God of Abundance, to take on the role of <Inos>’ proxy guardian deity under a 99-to-1 share condition.]The proposal was sent to Leah.
“Huh?!
It wasn’t 9-to-1, but 99-to-1?”
Sejun, who had naturally assumed it would be 9-to-1, was flustered as he looked at the message.
“She’s definitely going to reject this.”
Isn’t it more likely she’ll be angry at such an outrageous offer?
Sejun waited for the message, prepared to raise the allocation to 10% if Leah rejected the offer.
However,
[Leah, the God of Abundance, has accepted the position of proxy guardian deity for <Inos>.][Leah, the God of Abundance, has taken on the role of <Inos>’ proxy guardian deity on behalf of Park Sejun.]
Contrary to Sejun’s expectations, Leah accepted the offer and became the proxy guardian deity of <Inos>.
“What?!”
She accepted this?! A 99-to-1 condition?!
As Sejun was left speechless at Leah’s acceptance,
[You have achieved the great feat of hiring a god.][As a reward for this great achievement, you have acquired the <Title: One Who Commands a God>.]
[As a reward for this great feat of creation, your future cost of staying on the 0th floor of the Black Tower will decrease by 1%.]
[Thanks to appointing a proxy guardian deity, you have become the unofficial guardian deity of <Inos>.]
[You lack the necessary divinity to even qualify as an unofficial guardian deity.]
Messages began to appear.
Naturally.
Not just ‘lacking,’ Sejun had no divinity at all.
And then,
[To make you the unofficial guardian deity, the system will grant you the <Power: God-blood with a touch of divinity>.]The system, seemingly not ready to give up on Sejun, took forced action.
[Your blood will be replaced with god-blood mixed with a touch of divinity.]What?! Replacing my blood?!
Sejun felt a shiver run through his body as he read the message.
This is going to hurt, isn’t it…?
Judging by the pain he experienced when his bones were replaced, this was going to be excruciating.
“Ahhh!”
Indeed, it was incredibly painful.
As Sejun screamed and fainted,
“Chairman Park, hang in there, meow!”
Kueng!
[Dad, stay strong, okay?]
Theo and Cuengi massaged Sejun’s body to help with blood circulation,
Kking!
[Hey! Use the core!]
Blackie patted Sejun’s chest with his paws, stimulating both Sejun’s heart and core.
Kihihit. Kking. Kking.
[Hehe. We should make the butler’s blood a bit stronger this time. Karurur, bring the core.]
Caw!
Karurur fetched purified core fragments that Blackie had hidden in the secret stash.
***
Seed Shop Headquarters.
“Congratulations, Leah-nim.”
“Yeah. Congrats to you too, Milky, for selling the Starfruit.”
Heheh. I believed in you! Park Sejun!
Leah was receiving congratulations from the non-combat gods at the Seed Shop for selling the Seed of Abundance.
Now, if I can gather just 8,912 more pieces of the world’s energy, I’ll be able to create a world and become its guardian deity!
As Leah strengthened her resolve, clenching her fist with determination,
[A proposal has been sent by Park Sejun, the Black Tower’s Tower Farmer, offering you the position of proxy guardian deity of <Inos> under the terms of a 99-to-1 share.]The message Sejun sent appeared before Leah.
“Gasp!!!”
Leah was so shocked by the message that she couldn’t close her mouth.
Leah had been the guardian of thousands of worlds before, but all those worlds had ended in destruction.
And now, she was stuck being grateful for just having a single temple.
But…
He’s entrusting the world <Inos> to me?!
Even though it was as a proxy guardian deity, it was still an incredible opportunity to become the guardian of a world.
If she managed <Inos> well and grew her influence, she could gain more divine power, authority, and other benefits.
On top of that, he was offering a share, even if it was just 1%?!
Although it was a small number, it was a vast amount of divine power compared to what she was getting from her temple.
In the past, she had hired proxy guardian deitys without offering them any share, simply promising them benefits from growing her influence…
As expected, Park Sejun was generous.
“Accept.”
Leah hastily accepted, worried that Sejun might send the offer to another god if she delayed.
And then,
“Trust-in-Park!!!”
Leah started shouting the cheer at the top of her lungs.
