Solo Farming In The Tower Chapter 832 105: Crisis of Christmas Gifts (3) / 829

TL: Hanguk

"Oh?! Kyung-chul? Ah. You're passing by my house? Want to grab some coffee? Got it. I'll come out."

On the third day of using Kyung-chul as an excuse, Sejun went outside.

"Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot. Sejun-nim, aren't you using the same person too much? I think you'll get caught at this rate."

It already seemed like Aileen-nim, Cuengi, Blackie, and even Taecho had caught on…

Though Iona spoke with concern,

"Hehehe. It's fine. My acting was perfect."

"Puhuhut. That's right, meow! If Chairman Park tries to deceive, everyone will be fooled, meow!"

The two fools firmly believed that no one would find out.

With that, Sejun moved to the Black Tower.

He moved to a quiet place with no people and began preparing today's gifts.

Some time later.

"Good. For the 100-layer rice cake pyramid cake, I just need to prepare kudzu honey to drizzle at the end…."

Since the cake was huge, a lot of honey was needed, so the poisonous bees were currently hard at work collecting honey from kudzu flowers.

"Blackie's gift is ready too…."

Blackie's gift was simply 100 roasted and dried sweet potatoes neatly packed into a container, so it was completed easily.

"The song for Paespaes and Flamie's supplement are also almost done…."

The song Sejun planned to give to Paespaes was something he made with his own effort, without plagiarizing.

Of course, since Sejun's songwriting skills weren't great, it couldn't be a good song, but it didn't matter much because Paespaes would end up breaking it apart and rebuilding it with only the core remaining anyway.below

The nutritional supplement for Flamie was being synthesized by Iona using the Life Orb and Fire Essence through magic.

"Aileen's gift, the full-course menu, is nearly finalized, from appetizer to dessert…."

Now all that's left are the gifts for the kids.

"Hehehe. They're going to love these gifts, right?"

Sejun grinned as he imagined the kids receiving the gifts,

As long as the dragon leaders give their permission…

He wore a slightly anxious expression.

The Christmas gift Sejun had planned for the kids was called the Yongyong Train.

It was a concept where the dragon leaders would take the kids aboard and rapidly travel through 100 worlds per leader.

They'd get to explore the worlds they'd be managing in the future, enjoy the speed of fast travel, and stop by scenic spots to eat lunchboxes packed by Sejun.

Most likely, half of Christmas would fly by while riding the Yongyong Train.

Hehehe. I'll rest a bit during that time.

Naturally, Sejun wasn't going to ride. No, he couldn't. It would be dangerous if he met the dragon leaders' true bodies.

During that time, I'll be with Aileen…

"Huhu. Even the justification is perfect."

Admiring his perfect plan, Sejun headed toward the 99th floor of the Black Tower.

***

[You have arrived at the 99th floor of the Black Tower.]

"I have something to say to you, dragon-nims. Let's talk quietly."

Upon arriving at the 99th floor, Sejun spoke to the dragon leaders with a slightly stiff expression, and moved to a quiet place where no one was around.

(Why is Sejun acting like that all of a sudden?)

(Kaiser, did you do something to upset Sejun?)

(What are you talking about?! I'd never do anything to upset our Sejun!)

(Kellion, it's you, isn't it?!)

(What?! It's not me!)

The dragon leaders followed behind Sejun, using telepathy to figure out who might have upset him.

(No, Kellion, you weren't sincere enough. When Sejun received your horn, he didn't look happy. That means you lacked sincerity.)

(What?! I gave Sejun ten horns of the Light Dragon! Ah. It's Artemis. Artemis only gave Sejun one Thunder Dragon horn.)

(Kuhm. I was already planning to give more Thunder Dragon horns to Sejun. And by that logic, Ramter and Tier also only gave him one horn each.)

(Kuhm. I was also planning to give more Fire Dragon horns to Sejun.)

(Me too.)

Through their conversation, the dragon leaders concluded that the reason Sejun was feeling upset was because of Artemis, Ramter, and Tier.

Then we're in the clear.

Feeling confident, they followed closely behind Sejun.

After about ten minutes of walking,

"This seems like a good place to talk."

Sejun stopped walking, turned around, and looked at the dragon leaders.

–Sejun, you've been feeling upset, haven't you? Take this.

104.28.193.250

–This too.

–Take mine as well.

Artemis, Ramter, and Tier handed over 10 horns each to Sejun.

"Ah? Uh, thank you."

"Puhuhut. Thank you, meow!"

Sejun was slightly flustered as he received the horns. He was about to ask them to carry Taecho and the future Gods of Creation on their backs, but the dragon leaders suddenly acting like this made the situation a bit awkward.

"But I don't think this will fully make up for the disappointment."

He didn't know what misunderstanding the dragon leaders were under, but decided to use the current situation to his advantage.

–Right. It might not be enough. Kellion will take care of the rest.

–What?! Who do you think you are?! You're over there grinning thanks to Sejun! Acting all proud just because your granddaughter married well?! Sejun, don't get married yet, just wait a few years. If my Ajax gets married and has a daughter…

–Shut up! Don't you dare set your sights on my Sejun!

While Kaiser and Kellion bickered,

"I think I'll feel less upset if you dragon leaders would carry Taecho and the future Gods of Creation during Christmas… something like that."

Sejun explained what he wanted to the other dragon leaders.

And then.

"Ugh… Ahem. Very well. If it will ease Sejun's disappointment, we can certainly do that much."

"Let's go with that."

Though the dragon leaders wore reluctant expressions as they agreed,

To carry the Primordial God and the future Gods of Creation!

What an honor for the mighty Red Dragon!

Inwardly, they were thrilled.

The Yongyong Train that Sejun planned involved the dragon leaders carrying the Primordial God and the future Gods of Creation on their backs. For the mighty Dragon race, this was an extremely honorable task.

If Theo had opened an auction to choose which dragon leaders would participate in the Yongyong Train, they would've bet all their horns without hesitation.

A moment later.

–Kuhahaha. Of course I must be part of it. How could the mighty Black Dragon Lord, I, Kaiser Pritani, miss out on such an honorable task!

–Hmph! The mighty White Dragon, I, Kellion Mamebe, shall also join.

With Kaiser and Kellion, who had been quarreling, also joining upon hearing about the Yongyong Train, Sejun's project was now complete.

Having received the consent of all the dragon leaders, Sejun said,

"Kaiser-nim, I found this with Theo's golden front paw. Could you appraise it? Iona's appraisal magic couldn't figure out what it is."

"Puhuhut. Kaiser-nim, hurry up and take a look, meow! It's definitely something amazing, meow!"

Sejun showed Kaiser the rock he had found with Theo.

–Kuhahaha. Leave it to me.

With a confident expression, Kaiser examined the rock.

–It has no magic power… hmm?

I sense a familiar energy inside.

He discovered an energy tightly packed within the rock.

'I've felt this before…'

Where did I feel this?

As Kaiser fell into thought for a moment,

–Oh?!

This energy… it's the energy of a Great Dragon!

He soon realized that the energy emanating from the rock was that of a Great Dragon.

At that moment.

(This is… the energy of Kaira Pritani… though very faint. Are you a descendant of Kaira Pritani?)

A voice echoed inside Kaiser's mind.

–Wh-who are you?

(I am the great Colorless Dragon, Sabren Zack, the leader of the Ten Dragons created first by the Creator God.)

–What? Colorless Dragon?

Kaiser was shocked by Sabren's words.

He had lived for tens of thousands of years but had never heard of a Great Colorless Dragon.

It was natural. The era when the Ten Dragons were active was several million years ago. Even by dragon lifespans, dozens of generations had passed.

Moreover, the nine great Dragon Clans were so busy boasting about their own greatness that, in the process, stories of Sabren Zack, the strongest among the Ten Dragons, had been erased.

(But what is your name?)

–Ah. I am the Great Black Dragon, Kaiser Pritani.

(Kaiser, how much time has passed since I died?)

–It's probably been over a million years since Sabren-nim passed away.

(So much time has passed. Then the other Ten Dragons must all be dead…)

–Yes.

(I, too, wish to finish my task and rest with the other Ten Dragons. Kaiser, will you help me with my task?)

–Task?

(Yes. I must leave behind a descendant. That one over there seems suitable to inherit my power.)

–That one over there?

(The one over there carrying many energies. Crude, but he has dragon bones and a dragon's heart, so he has enough qualifications.)

He possesses many energies?

Crude dragon bones and dragon heart?

At Sabren's words, Kaiser looked around.

–Don't tell me… Sejun?!

He realized that the one Sabren was referring to was Sejun.

The Great Colorless Dragon had no inherent attribute, but in exchange, possessed the ability to freely wield all attributes.

The reason Sabren Zack could become the leader of the Ten Dragons was thanks to this ability. No matter what attribute he faced, he could always counter it.

Moreover, he didn't just stop at using a counter attribute. For example, when fighting against fire, he could combine water and wind attributes, or water and darkness, to produce an even stronger power.

That's why the ability to wield various forces was one of the most important talents required to become a Great Colorless Dragon.

In Sabren's eyes, Sejun with dragon bones and dragon heart, a divine beast's core, and divine blood, the very embodiment of a hybrid was a highly desirable dragon material.

(Is his name Sejun? Then by attaching my surname, he'll be Sejun Zack from now on. Of course, he'll have to pass the test to inherit my power.)

–Sejun, want to take a test?

And just like that, Sejun gained the opportunity to inherit the power of Sabren Zack, the leader of the Ten Dragons, the Great Colorless Dragon.

"A test? I don't want to."

He firmly rejected the test to take the power of the Great Colorless Dragon.

It would obviously be extremely difficult.

Probably to the point of risking his life.

There's no way he'd give away such immense power easily.

And.

Mheuheuheu. Of course he'll take the test. But it won't be an easy one. There's no way the power of the Great Colorless Dragon can be obtained easily. Nope. Absolutely not.

Sabren Zack, convinced Sejun would naturally take the test and determined not to give him an easy one, then heard.

(Yes. Of course… What?! He's rejecting my test?!)

He was completely flustered by Sejun's rejection.

(No, at least hear what the test is first! It's really not that har…)

Sabren hurriedly tried to stop Sejun,

"Well then, I'll be off now."

But Sejun was already gone. Now that the Christmas gift preparations were done, it was time to get ready for the Christmas part-time job.

SKC Broadcast Station Editing Room.

"Huhihihihi…."

A woman with greasy hair from not washing for several days and bloodshot eyes was working intently, her gaze fixed on the monitor, letting out a creepy laugh.

The footage playing on the monitor was mostly of Taecho, the future Gods of Creation, and the children of destruction.

"Khuh. Every single frame is a masterpiece. There's nothing to cut."

Kim Hye-na, who hadn't gone home for days and was holed up in the editing room, had been editing non-stop.

Gulp. Gulp.

She downed a lukewarm iced Americano whose ice had long since melted, then threw herself back into editing.

For the record, editing for "How to Make a Miracle Happen on Christmas" scheduled to air on Christmas Eve, had already been completed two weeks ago.

It's a sin for only me to know about this video.

The world needs to see it!

What she was working on now was purely to satisfy Kim Hye-na's own selfish desires.

A little while later.

"It's finally done!"

Kim Hye-na uploaded a special episode to YouTube consisting solely of footage of Taecho and the future Gods of Creation.

"Time to sleep a bit."

She went into the night-duty room and fell asleep, completely unaware of what kind of impact her video would have on the world.

The views on the video Kim Hye-na uploaded skyrocketed in an instant, quickly surpassing one million.
