Solo Farming In The Tower Chapter 816 88: Theo's Mental Breakdown (3) / 812

As they stepped through the wide-open door,
A house appeared, where the elements of Granier Village, the cave on the 99th floor of the Tower and the house on the surface, and the building of the Kindergarten of Destruction were all jumbled together chaotically.
And in the center of the house, Theo was curled up tightly on the blanket Sejun used when he slept, trembling as he radiated a gloomy atmosphere.
Theo, what are you doing like that?!
Seeing Theo like that, Sejun felt like his heart was breaking. The Theo he knew was always supposed to be annoyingly confident.
"Vice Chairman Theo!"
When Sejun called out to Theo,
Theo weakly lifted his head and greeted Sejun with a feeble smile and a dying voice. It was pitiful.
"Theo…"
Sejun carefully gave Theo a tight hug,
"Kyoong. Theo-nim! I missed you!"
"Big hyung, you shouldn't be sick!"
"Hing! Big hyung!"
"Big oppa, Taecho will heal you!"
Iona and the rest of the group also hugged Theo.
"Chairman Park, I don't have my golden front paw anymore, so I can't get the million-year knee monopoly anymore, meow… I'm no longer useful to Chairman Park, meow…"
Theo said in a sad voice.
"What?! Theo, what do you think I am?! Even without that, you're more than worthy! Whether you have abilities or not, you're Park Theo and my precious friend. That's enough for you to be worthy."
"Meow?! Really, meow?! Are you saying I'm friends with great hybrid Chairman Park, meow?!"
Theo raised his body and asked back. At some point, his voice had gained strength.
"Yeah. Park Theo, you're my best friend."
"We're friends, meow!"
Fwoosh.
At Sejun's reply, a bright light began to radiate from Theo's body.
"Puhuhut. I'm friends with great hybrid Chairman Park, meow! Me, Vice Chairman Theo, meow!"
Theo bounced around joyfully and shouted with excitement.
"Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Theo-nim, thank goodness."
With Iona hanging onto his tail before anyone noticed.
At that moment,
Rumble.
A loud noise was heard from outside.
However,
"Hehe. Butler! Big hyung's mental world is being restored!"
This time, it wasn't the sound of a mental world collapsing, but of one being restored.
The collapse of the mental world had happened abnormally fast, and its restoration was just as abnormal in speed.
Thus, Theo regained his lost confidence and at the same time restored his mental world by becoming friends with Sejun.
"Puhuhut. Sejun, put this body on your knee right away, meow!"
Theo said confidently, extending his front paw to Sejun. It seemed he had regained so much confidence that he lost his sense of propriety.
"Hoohoo. What did our Park Theo just say?"
"Puhuhut. I said to put this body on your knee right away, meow! Sejun is friends with me, Vice Chairman Theo, now, so things like this are possible, meow!"
Theo answered obliviously, not noticing Sejun's shift in mood.
"Big hyung, the butler is mad! Run away quickly!"
Blackie, having experienced this many times, quickly gave a warning.
Squeeze.
"Meow?"
Sejun had already grabbed Theo's cheek.
"Park. Theo. What did you just say?"
"Chairman Park, I was wrong, meow!"
Theo finally noticed and answered, but
"Hehehe. Too late."
It was far too late.
You little rascal! Do you know how worried I was…
Sejun kneaded Theo's cheeks to his heart's content, relieving all the anxiety and anger he'd felt about possibly losing Theo.
And then.
"Let's go."
He exited Theo's mental world.
"Puhuhut."
Smack.
As if it were the most natural thing, Theo clung to Sejun's knee. Sejun grinned and stroked Theo's head.
"Then, shall we check the options?"
Sejun checked the options on the armor that Taecho had found with her golden hand and Iona had appraised.
[Leather Armor That Draws Attention of the Clown Pierrot]
→ This armor, made only from the finest top-grade leather for ultimate performance, ended up with a bizarre design and was discarded, until it became famous after being used by the clown hunter Pierrot.
→ It is very sturdy, but due to its colorful design, it stands out easily.
→ All Stats +30
→ Creator: Blacksmith HooRooRoo (Green Hammer Clan Dwarf)
→ Usage Requirement: Lv. 50 or higher, Agility 50 or higher
→ Grade: S+
→ Skills: [Area Taunt Lv. 7], [Acrobatic Archery Lv. 5], [Slapstick Dodge Lv. 9]
"Oh. It's a named item."
On top of that, the grade was good, and it had three skills attached.
The last skill was a bit vague, but since its level was high, it should be fine.
Sejun hesitated slightly because of the skills.
The design was a much bigger flaw than the skills, but he ignored that.
"Alright. Let's go with this as Kyung-chul's housewarming gift."
With that, Kyung-chul's housewarming gift was decided.
"Meow?!"
Suddenly, Theo was flustered as his front paw extended on its own.
"Chairman Park, I feel the pull, meow! A lot, meow! A whole lot, meow! Puhuhut. As expected, there's no way the abilities of me, Vice Chairman Theo, friend of Chairman Park, wouldn't be amazing, meow!"
Theo shouted excitedly.
Swoosh. Swoosh.
He disappeared and reappeared several times in an instant, and each time an item piled up in front of Sejun.
What is this?
Sejun was puzzled by the sudden return of Theo's golden front paw.
At that moment.
Pop!
Kueng!
[Cuengi found out big hyung's secret!]
Cuengi clapped his hands and shouted.
"Theo's secret?"
Kueng! Kueng!
[That's right! Big hyung only has the golden front paw when he's finding something for Dad!]
Huh?
Could Theo really be like that…
"Huh?!"
Now that he thought about it, what they had been looking for earlier was a gift for Kyung-chul. But the moment the gift for Kyung-chul was decided…
"Is that really how it is? Vice Chairman Theo, let's find a gift for Kyung-chul now!"
When Sejun shouted to Theo,
"Meow?! The pull is gone, meow! I can't feel it, meow! It's over, meow!"
Theo flailed both front paws in the air, clearly panicking.
"It's true. Vice Chairman Theo, find something I can use."
Sejun said while watching Theo.
"Puhuhut. I can feel the pull again, meow! Great hybrid Chairman Park, just trust me, Vice Chairman Theo, meow!"
Theo's golden front paw activated once more, and he excitedly brought back items for Sejun to use.
This confirmed it. Theo's golden front paw only activates for Sejun.
"Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I, Vice Chairman Theo, found a lot of things for you to use, meow!"
That's why the golden front paw hadn't activated earlier. Dumb guy, how can he not even know how his own ability works?
Sejun grumbled while watching Theo run toward him with arms full of items and a bright expression. But his face was filled with a smile.
How could anyone not smile while watching the cat who trusted him the most?
A moment later.
"Puhuhut. So that's what it was, meow?! I like it very much, meow!"
Theo laughed with satisfaction after hearing the reason why the golden front paw didn't activate. He was so proud of himself for having a golden front paw that worked only for Sejun.
104.28.193.250
Then suddenly,
"And this is Kyung-chul's fault, meow!"
He abruptly got serious and blamed Kyung-chul.
"That's right. It's Kyung-chul's fault."
When Sejun joined in blaming Kyung-chul,
Fwoosh.
Light exploded from Theo's body.
And.
"Hahaha. I've finally leveled up too!"
A booming voice came from the light. It was Super-Giant Chairman Park No. 6, who had grown alongside Theo's mental world after it gained confidence from the declaration of friendship with Sejun.
Super-Giant Chairman Park No. 6 turned into a lump of light, separated from Theo, and shot up into the sky.
"Tada!"
Super-Giant Chairman Park No. 6 appeared, dressed in a glittery stage outfit, holding a microphone.
"Hahaha. I am Sejun the Master Singer, God of Singing! Tone-deaf people of the world! I'll fix all of you~!"
While Master Singer Sejun introduced himself.
[The avatar of Black Tower's Tower Farmer Park Sejun has become Sejun the Master Singer, God of Singing.]
[You have achieved the great feat of creation of possessing a transcendent-level avatar.]
…
..
.
[Sejun the Master Singer, God of Singing, avatar of Black Tower Tower's Farmer Park Sejun, will act independently until the main body grows.]
An achievement message appeared.
"Master Singer Sejun, then can you fix my singing too?"
Sejun asked with a bit of expectation, but
"I'm sorry. I can fix everyone else, but I can't fix Sejun-nim."
As expected, a monk can't shave his own head.
"Instead, I'll cast a blessing!"
Clap!
Master Singer Sejun snapped his fingers, bestowing a blessing upon Sejun before quickly disappearing.
[Sejun the Master Singer, God of Singing, has bestowed the Lion's Roar Blessing upon Black Tower Farmer Park Sejun.]
[For the next one year, you can project your voice louder and attack enemies using Lion's Roar.]
What am I supposed to do with this…
There was a reason Master Singer Sejun vanished so fast.
And so, the near-disastrous incident that occurred while looking for Kyung-chul's housewarming gift ended in a happy ending: Theo gained the 1-million-year knee monopoly and great confidence, while Master Singer Sejun became a transcendental-level god.
For reference, inside Theo's mental world, Super Mini Chairman Park No. 7, wearing a pumpkin mask, was now diligently building a grilled fish mountain and a churu lake as the successor to Master Singer Sejun.
A few days later.
"Meow… Chairman Park, I, Vice Chairman Theo, have lost my confidence, meow… If only I had a 10,000-year knee monopoly…"
"Vice Chairman Theo, I'm not falling for that."
"Tsk, meow!"
Theo attempted an act to earn Sejun's knee monopoly again, but it didn't work. There was no way anyone would fall for it.
Where do you think you're going while radiating positive energy with your whole body?!
Having failed to deceive Sejun, Theo immediately sprang up and clung to Sejun's knee.
"Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I, Vice Chairman Theo, am so happy, meow!"
Wearing a bright smile, he rubbed his face against Sejun's knee. The energy Theo gave off sparkled like the midday sun.

Seed Shop Headquarters.
God-Sejun! God-Sejun! God-Sejun!
As always, the non-combat gods began another lively day by chanting their slogans.
And.
"Everyone, look at me! My horn grew 0.3mm today! This is all thanks to God-Sejun!"
At the very front again was Mirna, the God of Dragons, proudly proving God-Sejun's greatness through her own body.
A small horn had sprouted on Mirna's head.
Starting with Aileen, a few young dragons had acknowledged Mirna as the God of Dragons, and since then, a tiny horn had begun to grow on her forehead.
For now, it was just a small horn, but if she gained more recognition from the other dragons, she might grow wings and a tail and eventually transform into a true dragon.
Once the non-combat gods finished their morning worship (?), they returned to their homes.
Combat Shop Headquarters.
"Alright! Let's make some divine relics again today!"
"Just ten for today!"
The highly motivated combat gods began their morning work.
They no longer needed to supply divine relics to Theo, but crafting divine relics had become fun for the combat gods.
While the non-combat and combat gods were diligently working,
Rumble.
The place where they were sealed began to shake.
And then.
-I will leave this place in 100 days, so yourselves for departure.
The sky opened up, and with a solemn voice, the Creator God appeared.
Kyaaam!
With one of the Destruction Child beside him.
It was the Creator God, making a brief stop while on his way to Sejun.
"O Creator God! Where shall we go once we leave this place?"
"Please don't abandon us!"
The combat and non-combat gods cried out desperately toward the Creator God.
-Do not worry. I have not forsaken you. You shall rule the world once again while awaiting the return of the new Creator Gods.
The Creator God informed them of their future duties. Now that the Destruction were gone, it was time for the gods to return to their rightful place.
-Then I will come again in 100 days.
Shortly after the Creator God finished speaking and disappeared,
Ding-dong.
Someone rang the bell at the Kindergarten of Destruction.
"Who is it?"
Sejun opened the front door,
Kyaaam!
and there sat a basket on the ground, with only a baby inside. Once again, it was the Creator God who rang the bell and ran.
