92 – A Housewarming Party in Chaos (4)
Part 2, Chapter 92. A Housewarming Party in Chaos (4)
The 62nd floor of the Blue Tower.
“Hehehe. This is delicious.”
Beep! Beep!
[If Yuren has time to talk, he should eat at least one more piece of meat! Don’t complain about being hungry later!]
Beep and Yuren’s squad were hurriedly eating in the dining hall.
Because of Yuren’s misfortune, they rarely got to have a proper meal, so they had to eat as much as they could whenever they got the chance.
They ate in silence for a while, and then,
Beep.
[I’m full.]
Thump~
Thump~
Thump~
Chirp~
Beep and the squad patted their full bellies and finished their meal.
But,
“Here’s your order of 50 servings.”
Unlike the others, Yuren, who had an enormous appetite, was still hungry.
“Thank you. And please bring 50 more servings!”
Yuren immediately ordered more food to keep the flow going.
The food kept coming endlessly.
The more Yuren ate, the more excited he became.
“Hehehe. This is so delicious, I’m so…”
He was about to say something forbidden.
Beep! Beep!
[No! Don’t say it!]
Beep quickly tried to cover Yuren’s mouth with his wings, but
“I’m happy!”
It was too late. The words that should never have left Yuren’s mouth were already out.
Beep…
[Ah…]
This is a death flag!
He’s practically asking for trouble!
As Beep despaired,
Crackle.
As if it had been waiting for Yuren’s words, the sky began to tear apart.
And then,
-Kekeke. It’s those guys we saw last time.
-We won’t let them escape today.
The beings that had escaped from the World’s Foundation Stones peered through the tear in the sky at Beep’s party.
Thanks to the rift created when Fireball beat up Podori, a large number of them had escaped at once.
At that moment,
[Would you like to purchase 1 Super Ultra Emergency Rescue Service Coupon for 800 billion Tower Coins?]
A message from [System Eoksamchiri] appeared in front of Yuren.
Since three beings had escaped from the World’s Foundation Stones, the danger level had increased, and so had the price of the coupon. Thanks to this, [System Eoksamchiri]’s pockets were getting fuller.
“I’ll buy it!!”
As Yuren hastily purchased the coupon,
[Super Ultra Emergency Rescue Service Coupon has been used.]
A hole leading to Earth appeared beneath Yuren’s feet.
Thud!
Yuren fell through the hole, and
Beep!
[Yuren! You troublemaker!]
Beep and the squad quickly followed after him.

<Earth>
“Wow! Chef Baek, this is so delicious!”
People who naturally assumed it was Baek Sungjin’s cooking called him over to compliment him.
“Ah, this isn’t my cooking. It’s by another chef… but I don’t know his name…”
As Baek Sungjin struggled, not knowing Sejun’s name,
[All stats have increased by 1.]
“Huh? No wonder it tasted familiar…”
“Master, isn’t this Sejun’s cooking?”
Han Taejun and Kim Dongjun, who were eating, could tell who had made the food by the message that appeared in front of them.
“What?! After eating this chicken salad, all my stats increased!”
“Really?! I ate this seaweed soup and gained the ability to recover 0.01% of my health when attacking enemies!”
“Try this stir-fry! It reduces group damage by 0.0001%!”
Soon, the effects of Sejun’s cooking spread among the hunters, and they flocked to the banquet hall to eat Sejun’s food.
“The effects stack every time you eat this?!”
“What?! Then I’ll keep eating!”
As the hunters devoured Sejun’s food,
“Oh my! Is this really me?!”
Lingling, who had received Theo’s massage for 60+10 minutes, looked in the mirror, excited.
She had expected it after seeing the changes in the other First Ladies, but experiencing it herself was even more astonishing.
Meanwhile,
“I’ll take 3 hours.”
“What?! Can’t you see the people waiting behind you?!”
“If you’re jealous, you can take 3 hours too!”
In front of Theo’s massage shop, a long line had formed thanks to the two First Ladies spreading the word.
Even the wealthy families living nearby had rushed over to join the line.
At that moment,
“Meow?!”
The knees of the great Hybrid Chairman Park, my friend, are in danger!
Theo’s Sejun Knee Radar activated.
“We’re closing for the day, meow!”
“What?!”
“…”
“Huh? Where did he go?!”
By the time Theo finished speaking, he had already disappeared.
***
Phew. That was close. I almost fainted.
Yuren, you clueless pig!
Sejun was relieved by Yuren’s sudden appearance, while Eileen was disappointed.
“Hehehe. Hello.”
Yuren got up, dusted off his butt, and greeted them.
Beep! Beep!
[Hello, Sejun and Eileen! Yuren, stop causing trouble!]
Beep and the squad appeared behind him.
And then,
[Dauren, the Bird that Erases the Darkness Escaped from the World’s Foundation Stones] [Crocton, the Turtle that Submerges the World Escaped from the World’s Foundation Stones] [Ecle, the Leopard that Shakes the World Escaped from the World’s Foundation Stones]
Giant beings could be seen beyond the hole Yuren had come from.
“Guys!”
As Sejun quickly called his group,
“Puhuhut. Don’t worry, Chairman Park, meow! I, Vice Chairman Theo, will protect you, meow!”
“Kkueng! Kkueng! Kkueng! The power of dimensions… Parallel World!”
Kkueng!
[Kkueng will protect Dad!]
Kkihit. Nng! Nng!
[Hehe. It’s time for the great Kkamang to shine! Watch closely, Boksul!]
“Dad, Taecho will stick right by your side!”
The group knew what to do without Sejun even telling them.
“Sejun, stay right next to me.”
Eileen also stood next to Sejun and spoke.
“Just in case, send Vice Chairman Theo and Kkueng too.”
If it was just one opponent, Kkamang alone would be enough, but with three, it was too risky.
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow! As expected, only I, Vice Chairman Theo, Chairman Park’s friend, can be trusted, meow!”
Kkuhehehe. Kkueng!
[Hehehe. Dad, just trust Kkueng!]
At Sejun’s request, Theo and Kkueng quickly moved into the sky.
Meanwhile,
Thud.
Kkamang headbutted Crocton.
[Park Kkamang, the Guardian of the Sweet Potato Field, has annihilated the soul of Crocton, the Turtle that Submerges the World Escaped from the World’s Foundation Stones.] [Park Kkamang has gained 33 trillion experience points, 50% of the total experience.] [Level up.]
…
..
.
At the same time, a message appeared in front of Sejun.
While Kkamang took care of one,
-Crocton was annihilated?!
-It’s definitely that guy’s doing! Let’s get rid of him quickly!
Realizing that Kkamang, despite his unassuming appearance, was a dangerous being, Dauren and Ecle tried to attack Kkamang, who was still unconscious and defenseless.
“Puhuhut. Don’t mess with our youngest, meow!”
Kkueng!
[Kkueng will protect the youngest too!]
Theo and Kkueng stepped forward to block Dauren and Ecle.
At that moment,
“Kkueng… Sejun, I think we need to evacuate the people first. The parallel world is about to collapse.”
Iona spoke to Sejun. Just the slight collision between Theo and Dauren, and Kkueng and Ecle, was enough to shatter the parallel world.
“Got it! Everyone, get out of the house!”
Rumble.
Sejun shouted, releasing a bit of his energy.
“Huh?!”
Startled by Sejun’s voice, the people began to evacuate without even knowing what was happening.
“Emergency situation!”
“Everyone, get out!”
Kyungchul, Han Taejun, and Kim Dongshik, who heard Sejun’s voice, also helped with the evacuation.
Fortunately, Kyungchul’s house was large, and there were no other houses nearby.
So it seemed they could just destroy Kyungchul’s house and be done with it.
As the people evacuated, shortly after,
Crash.
The parallel world couldn’t hold on any longer and shattered.
“Kkueng! Kkueng! Kkueng! The power of magic…”
Iona used the parallel world again.
“Now!”
At Sejun’s signal, Theo and Kkueng attacked the enemies.
Kkueng!
[Kkueng’s Annihilation Fist!]
Boom!
[Park Kkueng, the Supreme Herbalist, has annihilated Ecle, the Leopard that Shakes the World Escaped from the World’s Foundation Stones.]
…
..
.
Kkueng was just that strong.
“Puhuhut. I am the great Hybrid Chairman Park’s friend, Vice Chairman Theo, meow! This is Vice Chairman Theo’s Meow Meow Storm Fist, meow! Meow! Meow! Meow!”
Kaboom!
[Park Theo, the Black Tower’s Luck Target, has annihilated Dauren, the Bird that Erases the Darkness Escaped from the World’s Foundation Stones.]
…
..
.
Theo had become incredibly strong after gaining the title of Sejun’s friend. As expected of Theo.
After successfully defeating the three beings that had escaped from the World’s Foundation Stones,
Crash.
The parallel world, having taken damage beyond its limit, shattered.
Kaboom!
The aftermath of the explosion finally hit the ground.
“Kkueng! Kkueng! Kkueng! The power of magic…”
Sejun was safe thanks to Iona’s magic, but
“…We’ll have to rebuild Kyungchul’s house.”
Kyungchul’s house had been completely obliterated, leaving no trace.
At that moment,
[You have reached level 500.] [A job quest has been triggered.] [Job Quest: Rebuild 10,000 dying worlds.]
Reward: Unlock level 501, SSS-rank Half-God Farmer, All stats +2000
A job quest appeared in front of Sejun, who had leveled up over 100 levels in one go.
“Ah.”
I forgot about the job quest.
Sejun had been burning through the overflowing experience points by completing job quests in advance, so he had forgotten about it.
“But the quest content…”
Rebuild 10,000 dying worlds?
This seems way too difficult.
“Eoksamchiri, what’s this about?”
So Sejun confronted [System Eoksamchiri], who had given him such a difficult quest.
“Impeach Eoksamchiri, meow! Let’s impeach Eoksamchiri right now, meow!”
Theo, who had returned to Sejun’s lap, shouted.
Kkueng!
Nng!
Kkueng and Kkamang, who had returned to the ground, also supported Theo’s words.
“Dad, Taecho will impeach too!”
Taecho also followed his brothers and shouted.
And then,
[Sejun, calm down!] [I can explain everything!]
[System Eoksamchiri], in danger of being impeached, quickly explained the situation.
A moment later.
“So, I couldn’t meet the grade cutoff for level 500, and that’s why this happened?”
[No. It’s not so much a grade cutoff as the world not being able to fully reflect your excellence, shall we say?]
[System Eoksamchiri] carefully worded its response to Sejun’s question to avoid upsetting him.
But Sejun was right; it was essentially a grade cutoff.
Normally, no one leveled up this much, but there was a minimum requirement to reach level 500.
Half-God status.
But for a Tower Farmer to achieve Half-God status, the minimum job rank had to be SSS.
And most beings who reached level 500 normally met that criterion. Sejun, who had ridden the high-level bus with his group to reach level 500, was truly an anomaly.
In any case, to make Sejun, who didn’t meet the qualifications, reach level 501, SSS-rank and Half-God status were required.
And to give that as a reward, the quest difficulty had skyrocketed, according to [System Eoksamchiri]’s explanation.
“Got it. First, Eoksamchiri, find out if there’s an easier way to complete the quest… For now, let’s rebuild Kyungchul’s house. Earth Rise!”
Rumble.
Sejun began rebuilding Kyungchul’s house.
“Kkueng! Kkueng! Kkueng! Sejun, I’ll help! The power of magic…”
“Dad, Taecho will help too! Become sturdy! Yap!”
Iona helped with magic, and Taecho helped with blessings.
And so, the sturdiest house on Earth, capable of withstanding a nuclear attack, was completed.
Of course, the Doomsday Kindergarten and Sejun’s main house were exceptions. They were safe without such measures. After all, the ultimate weapon, Fireball, was guarding them.
