Chapter 425: Look Beyond the Face!
[Park Sejun, the Black Tower’s tower farmer, has built a temple (3.3 square meters) for the Vienna, the God of Sausages.][Divine power increases by 3.]
“As expected, Park Sejun likes it!”
Vienna, the God of Sausages, who received a temple after sending Sejun a giant sausage staff, cheered.
You can’t resist sausages after all. Mwahahaha!
It wasn’t just because she was the God of Sausages; sausages were truly a great crop. You could eat them and also use them as equipment.
“Good. Let’s aim for 16.5 square meters with this momentum!”
Vienna was burning with enthusiasm.
Drip. Drip.She plucked sausages from the ends of her hair. As befitting the God of Sausages, Vienna’s hair was a string of sausages.
Vienna carefully connected each sausage she had plucked.
She was currently creating a relic, the Sausage Shield of Hunger.
Enemies who smelled the sausage scent emanating from the shield would feel immense hunger and become obsessed with eating the source of the smell, the sausage shield.
And while the enemies were busy eating the sausage shield, you just have to hit them hard. Mwhuhuhu.
With this shield alone, Vienna became one of the top five tankers among the non-combat gods.
Moreover, if she wielded the Giant Sausage Staff, the set effect would intensify hunger and weaken the enemy’s strength.
“Park Sejun, just wait a bit. I’ll surprise you.”
A little later
“Good. The handle is complete.”
As Vienna looked contentedly at the ‘ㄷ’-shaped curved sausage,
‘I must get a temple from Park Sejun with my relic!’
‘With my relic, I should be able to get at least 9.9 square meters!’
Other gods were also busy creating relics to send to Sejun.
However, sending a relic wasn’t an easy task.
The only reason Vienna could send her relic was that she knew there was a sausage tree with Sejun.
And Flamie was growing the sausage tree into a World Tree.
Thanks to that, she could send the relic with minimal divine power to the exact location.
Fortunately, there was another god here who met those conditions.
“Good. It’s done.”
Uncle, the God of Grapevines, sent his relic to Podori on the 99th floor of the tower. (TL: Here Uncle is in english.)

[Black Tower 1st Floor Land Deed]“I got this again in such a way.”
It didn’t show up when he was looking for it…
Sejun said as he looked at the land deed for the 1st floor of the Black Tower in his hand.
And then, Sejun tightly gripped the land deed.
In two days, he would finally go home.
He was starting to feel the reality of being able to go home.
‘But I can’t let my guard down.’
Whenever something good happened, something bad always followed.
Swoosh.
As Sejun put the land deed into his pocket, collecting his thoughts,
“Chairman Park, open this, meow!”
Theo handed over a box he first received from Mimyr.
“What is this?”
“I don’t know, meow! But Mimyr didn’t want to give it, meow! So I didn’t give it back, meow!”
As expected, he’s a sly cat.
“Really? Hehehe. Is it something good?”
When Sejun opened the box,
“Huh? Sunglasses?”
Inside were luxurious glasses, framed in gold, with dark black gemstones.
[Void’s Gaze]The name already sounded impressive.
What is this? A grade legendary item or a relic?
Sejun picked up the glasses with a face full of anticipation.
“Wow.”
He was surprised by the extremely light weight as soon as he picked them up, and again by the stable balance and grip.
It was definitely something crafted by a master craftsman.
Just by holding it, he couldn’t help but be impressed, making him very curious about its options.
Sejun quickly checked the options.
[Void’s Gaze]→ This is the third limited edition of the fifth piece created by the Black Tower’s top designer, Amur Lange. (No. 5-3)
→ Amur Lange created this with the concept of ‘I don’t want others to notice my gaze’ when worn.
→ Specially processed obsidian lenses allow the wearer to see others, but others cannot see the wearer’s eyes.
→ The gold frame is specially processed to reduce weight by hollowing out the interior, and the reduced strength is compensated by reinforcement magic.
→ Only one is made per year.
→ Usage restriction: None
→ Maker: Amur Lange
→ Grade: C
“…?”
Sejun read it several times, but no matter how many times he read it, there was nothing special.
“What is this?”
It was so strange that he asked Aileen for an appraisal, but
[The tower administrator says this item is already appraised.]
“Okay. Thanks.”
It wasn’t an unappraised item.
It was just a pair of sunglasses with no special abilities.
It was surprising that it had a grade of C despite having no abilities. It was indeed a luxury item.
While Sejun was examining the ‘Void’s Gaze’,
“Um… Sejun-nim, could you please return that? I’ve been waiting 5 years to buy it…”
Mimyr, who had come running at some point, looked at Sejun with a teary expression.
“Sure.”
Sejun put the sunglasses he was holding on Mimyr.
“Bahahaha. Thank you, Sejun-nim!”
Mimyr, who received the sunglasses, thanked Sejun and hurriedly pulled out a mirror from her fur.
“Kya! So pretty!”
She began to admire his reflection wearing the Void’s Gaze.
“By the way, who is Amur Lange?”
“Baa? You don’t know Amur Lange? He’s a designer who became famous 100 years ago! But he’s so popular now that you have to wait at least a few years to buy one of his items.”
“Really? Where can I meet him?”
“He has a studio on the 89th floor of the tower. Why?”
“Nothing. Just want to meet him sometime.”
89th floor of the tower… I should have him work with Blackster later.
Blackster is good with magic, and Amur Lange has great craftsmanship. If the two of them make equipment together, it will definitely create amazing synergy.
“Mimyr, take this.”
Sejun returned Mimyr’s items that Theo had brought.
“And this is the payment for the land deed.”
In exchange for taking the Black Tower 1st Floor Land Deed, he gave Mimyr some of the lightning-struck wood and lightning stones.
“Thank you!”
Mimyr exclaimed excitedly upon receiving the items.
As ChuChu had mentioned, these two items were extremely difficult to obtain materials.
By giving these items, Sejun could make future deals more advantageous.
“Well then, goodbye.”
After giving the items to Mimyr, Sejun and his companions parted ways with Mimyr.
“Goodbye!”
Mimyr waved enthusiastically until Sejun disappeared from sight.
And once Sejun was out of sight,
“Mehehehe! Stylish golden sheep Mimyr is here!”
Mimyr, adjusting the Void’s Gaze, entered White Castle with a swagger.
To show off to ChuChu.
ChuChu was the next person on the waiting list after Mimyr who had reserved the ‘Void’s Gaze’.
***
Black Tower 99th Floor.
– Hahaha. Did I tell you? Our Sejun turned the Black Tower into the Great Black Tower?
– You’ve said it more than a hundred times, so stop it.
– Yeah, stop already.
– Ah, my stomach hurts.
Kaiser’s boasting irritated Kellion, Ramter, and Tier.
But,
– Hahaha. Did I say that? My apologies. To make up for it, when I become a VVIP, I’ll give everyone a glass of Golden Samyangju.
Kaiser’s taunting didn’t end. He acted as if he was already a VVIP.
Ugh. To think we have to keep seeing this…
If only Sejun was at our tower, our tower would have become the Great Tower…
If only our Sejun was with us…
While the other dragons were feeling regret,
– Oh! Our Sejun is here!
Sensing Sejun’s presence arriving at the waypoint, Kaiser went out to greet him.
***
[You have arrived at the 99th floor of the Black Tower.]Home.
As soon as he arrived on the 99th floor of the tower,
Clang.
“Chairman Park, I missed you, meow!”
Kueng!
[It’s Daddy!]
Kking!
[The great Blackie has arrived!]
The void storage opened, and Theo, Cuengi, and Blackie rushed to Sejun.
Then,
Cling. Cling.
Theo and Cuengi clung to their usual spots, except for Blackie.
Kking!
[Pick me up!]
Sejun picked up the barking Blackie from the floor and put him in his sling bag.
At that moment,
– Hahaha. Our Sejun, did you have a good trip?!
Kaiser greeted Sejun.
– Our Sejun worked hard!
– Ahem. Our Sejun seems to have become a bit more handsome.
– Ramter, have you no shame?! No matter what…
Of course, the other dragons followed Kaiser.
– What’s wrong with our Sejun?! You should look beyond the face and see the inner self!
Kaiser hurriedly tried to cover up, fearing Sejun would be hurt by Tier’s words.
But Sejun felt even more hurt by Kaiser’s cover-up.
“I’m back.”
Sejun greeted the dragons, who started arguing with each other, and
“Minotaur King, can I copy one of your skills?”
He asked the Minotaur King.
The strongest being in the Black Tower.
He was very excited about what skill he might obtain.
Moo. Moo.
[Yes. Feel free to copy.]
“Thanks.”
Sejun placed his hand on the Minotaur King’s leg.
[Would you like to copy a skill from the target?]“Yes.”
[You will randomly copy one of the target’s skills.]What will it be?
As Sejun checked the message with a tense expression,
[You have copied the skill: Vegetarian (Master).]The message appeared.
“Vegetarian?”
Is eating only plants a skill?!
Sejun, bewildered, checked the skill.
[Vegetarian (Master)]→ This is a racial skill possessed by Black Minotaurs from birth.
→ Your stats increase for every 1kg of grass eaten within 3 hours. (The stats that increase depend on the type of plants eaten.)
“Oh.”
Stats increase just by eating plants… I don’t even need elixirs. This is good enough to be called a skill.
Sejun nodded as he read the skill description.
At the same time, he understood why Black Minotaurs ate plants so diligently.
“Good. Now, let’s use the skill.”
Sejun gripped the Skill Copying Stone and infused it with magic power to use the skill.
[You have used the skill: Vegetarian (Master).][Your stats will increase every time you eat 1 kg of plants within 3 hours.]
And then,
“Minotaur King, I’ll copy one more time.”
Moo.
[Okay.]
With an extra slot available, Sejun, feeling unsatisfied, copied another skill from the Minotaur King.
However,
[You have copied the skill: Vegetarian (Master).]He ended up with the same skill again.
Sejun used the Vegetarian skill and copied skills multiple times.
However, only one skill was copied each time.
It was now clear.
The only skill Sejun could copy from the Minotaur King was Vegetarian.
“Hm… shall we go home? Toryong!”
As Sejun called for Toryong to head home,
– Hahaha. Sejun, you’ll be going home soon, have you prepared gifts for your parents?
“No, I couldn’t because I was busy getting the land deed for the 1st floor of the tower. I’m going to prepare now.”
– Hahaha. Then leave it to me! I’ll prepare something good for you!
Kaiser said, flying alongside Sejun.
“Yes, thank you.”
Although doubtful, Sejun thanked him.
– Hahaha. Yes, just trust me!
Kaiser remained confident until the end.
I’m worried… if he gives me something too powerful again, I’ll be in danger first.
The more he thought about it, the more anxious Sejun became.
‘I should prepare my parents’ gifts myself.’
A little later.
Theo went to work at the Green Tower, and Cuengi went to look at herbs.
104.28.193.250
Then,
Kkirorong.
[You have harvested Magical Cherry Tomatoes.]…
..
.
Listening to Blackie’s snores from the sling bag, Sejun harvested the crops he planned to take home.
He planned to bring about 10,000 each of cherry tomatoes, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, etc.
But how big is our house? Will there be enough space?
Sejun pondered for a moment.
I should put them in the space expansion pouch.
As Sejun was putting the harvested crops into the space expansion pouch,
[Sejun-nim!]
Podori called out to Sejun.
“Hm? What is it?”
[Take this! Someone sent it for you!]
Podori moved its vine and brought a small object hanging from the end of the vine in front of Sejun.
“A bracelet?”
A bracelet made of grapevines.
Pluck.
Sejun harvested the bracelet.
