Solo Farming In The Tower Chapter 834 107: A Christmas Eve Miracle (2) / 831

TL: Hanguk

-SKC Broadcasting Station agrees to share any surplus income produced, beyond the initial broadcast earnings from 'How to Make a Miracle Happen on Christmas', by consulting with Park Sejun, protector of Taecho and 28 others.

"Hehehe. As anticipated, adding this provision to the agreement was a smart move."

Sejun smiled contentedly while reviewing the deal he had inked with Kim Hye-na.

"Puhuhut. Chairman Park remains as brilliant as ever, meow! A true prodigy, meow!"

"Hahaha. Indeed, I am a prodigy, but… huh?!"

He swelled with vanity from Theo's praise

Chairman Park's expression is decaying, meow!

Theo's gaze gleamed as he found a reason to trample Sejun's features.

"Hey! It's unfair to follow up a compliment with that… ugh!"

Kuehehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehe. Cuengi will heal Dad as well!]

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hehe. Now the mighty Blackie has claimed another baked and desiccated sweet potato!]

"Daddy, stay put! Taecho will mend you!"

"YamYam is noting a benevolent act!"

"Heheh. Gomgom as well! Benevolentact!"

Even though Sejun sensed deep injustice, he ultimately served as the victim, having his countenance trod upon by Theo, his allies, and the young ones to build records of virtuous deeds.

A short time afterward.

"Puhuhut. Chairman Park's visage is now bearable to behold, meow!"

Merely after Sejun's features recovered from the affectionate pedal rub did Theo and the group withdraw their paws from his face.

"Vice Chairman Theo, we can't waste time on this."

"Puhuhut. Correct, meow! Time to gather the funds, meow!"

"Let's attempt a call first."

When Sejun reached for the handset, the others in the group quietly moved aside, acting occupied with various tasks.

They apparently believed Sejun was off to acquire Christmas gifts once more today.

In the meantime

-The individual you're reaching is presently…

Kim Hye-na was bathing and unable to respond to the call.

"Could she be intentionally avoiding the phone?"

"Chairman Park, this feels ominous, meow! Kim Hye-na aims to pilfer the cash secretly from us, meow! Let's rush and expose her, meow!"

Sejun and Theo's doubts intensified, convinced that Kim Hye-na intended to hoard the profits covertly without informing them.

And then

"Everyone, we're stepping out briefly!"

Sejun, Theo, and Iona dashed toward the SKC Broadcasting Station.

***

SKC Broadcasting Station entrance hall.

If the discussion proceeds smoothly, I'll notify Sejun-nim immediately.

Heeheehih. He'll definitely appreciate it, won't he?

Adorned with complete cosmetics, formal attire, and crimson stilettos—her personal combat gear—Kim Hye-na entered via the spinning entrance with a cunning grin.

Yet initially, I must manage the bargaining effectively!

She dreaded delivering unfavorable terms to Sejun.

Clack. Clack.

As Kim Hye-na's resolute strides resounded through the determined lobby,

"Chairman Park, spotted her, meow! Kim Hye-na is over there, meow!"

"…?!"

Theo, latched onto Sejun's leg, indicated Kim Hye-na with a piercing tone from their concealment behind a plant container in the station's foyer.

Observing her elaborate outfit, is she truly scheming to seize the funds and escape overseas?

PD Kim Hye-na, I placed faith in you, yet this is disheartening.

Sejun advanced toward Kim Hye-na bearing a grave look.

At that instant

"Ah. Sejun-nim, I was on the verge of phoning you! Sejun-nim, my deepest thanks! Owing to you, I'm meeting with Yukflix and Sitzny!"

Kim Hye-na bent forward sharply at ninety degrees, her face touched, conveying appreciation.

"Puhuhut. Exactly, meow! I, Vice Chairman Theo's companion, forever cherish gratitude for the splendid hybrid Chairman Park, meow!"

Theo, previously irate, swiftly became animated and prattled on. He relished witnessing Sejun receive acclaim endlessly. Naturally, Theo viewed himself as the prime admirer of Sejun.

"Naturally, extend your thanks to me, Vice Chairman Theo, meow!"

Theo ensured he claimed his share of recognition too. He remained meticulously careful.

"I attempted to reach you…"

"Ah. Apologies! I've received excessive calls lately, so I activated silent mode…."

"Ah…."

With the confusion resolved

"But what discussion do you mean?"

Sejun inquired about his intrigue.

"Ah. Yukflix and Sitzny expressed curiosity in the children's clips I posted on YouTube…."

Kim Hye-na detailed the circumstances.

Then

"Puhuhut. Kim Hye-na! Entrust the discussion to us, meow! I, Vice Chairman Theo, reign as the Sellout Sovereign who auctioned every piece, meow!"

After vaunting his prowess, Theo continued,

"Moreover, our magnificent hybrid Chairman Park nurtured me, meow!"

He raised both forepaws aloft, lauding Sejun.

"Precisely. Undoubtedly. I cultivated Vice Chairman Theo superbly."

Sejun inclined his head with a conceited demeanor.

"Puhuhut. Indeed, meow! I developed splendidly, meow!"

Theo nodded with self-assured pride too.

"No, rather, we ought to confer with the executive too…."

"Haak! Are you dismissing our magnificent hybrid Chairman Park at this moment, meow?! Chairman Park surpasses the executive, meow! Summon the executive at once, meow!"

"Vice Chairman Theo, compose yourself. We must respect PD Hye-na's role as well. PD Kim Hye-na, kindly direct us to the executive. We'll manage it."

"…Understood."

As Kim Hye-na escorted Sejun to the executive's chamber,

"…Hold on. Why is Kyung-chul-nim's associate…?"

Jung Chan-soo appeared puzzled, glancing toward Kim Hye-na.

"Well, the matter is…."

Kim Hye-na started outlining the present events.

The overseer of the youngsters now starring in YouTube footage with surging views was Sejun.

She endeavored to soften it by suggesting Sejun's involvement in the bargaining would benefit, yet from the direct Theo's viewpoint, it fell short.

"Puhuhut. Executive Chan-soo, underling of Kyung-chul, must promptly transfer complete control to our magnificent hybrid Chairman Park, meow!"

He audaciously insisted on his precise desire.

And then

"…I shall transfer it."

Jung Chan-soo willingly relinquished all control to Sejun.

Regardless of Yukflix and Sitzny's sway, they paled against the might of Earth's top hunter, Oh Kyung-chul.

In truth, should Oh Kyung-chul invade Yukflix and Sitzny, the U.S. authorities couldn't halt him. His battle prowess was that dominant. He earned the title of Earth's foremost hunter justly.

Particularly lately, having obtained two artifacts of S-grade or superior as relocation presents from an anonymous benefactor, Kyung-chul transcended planetary bounds.

Thus, provoking Sejun, Kyung-chul's closest ally, posed immense pressure. Abandoning the parley with Yukflix and Sitzny seemed preferable.

The outcome deviated somewhat from his expectations, but…

104.28.193.250

'Regardless, I attained my objective anyhow.'

Sejun chose to overlook Director Jung Chan-soo's misconception.

Clarifying matters like how Kyung-chul couldn't withstand a single digit from him, or that ten thousand Kyung-chuls wouldn't overpower him, would prove tedious and uncool.

In any event, Sejun now possessed total command over the Yukflix and Sitzny conference.

"Hehehe. Where's the conference located? Any stars attending?"

Thrilled by his debut conference at a media outlet.

"Puhuhut. Summon every star Chairman Park desires, meow!"

As Sejun's excitement mounted, Theo's did likewise.

"Kyoo-kyoo–No performers permitted!"

It spelled catastrophe if Aileen-nim discovered!

And suppose any approached my splendid Theo-nim flirtatiously!

Save for Iona.

"No. Merely the chief executives from Yukflix and Sitzny are arriving."

Fortunately, Iona's feared scenario didn't materialize.

During their exchange

Bzzzt.

Director Jung Chan-soo's mobile buzzed.

-Director, what about the Japanese eatery across from SKC Broadcasting Station? You enjoy sushi, correct?

It came from Yukflix's Lee So-min.

"Japanese cuisine under these conditions?! Direct them to the firm's mess hall. I'll prepare the meal myself."

"Huh?"

"I realize Sejun-nim excels in cuisine… but why personally chef during a rights negotiation…?"

"Exactly. It's not solely my fondness for Japanese fare, but that venue suits dining and dialogue."

Though Kim Hye-na and Jung Chan-soo sought to deter Sejun,

"Meow! Our magnificent hybrid Chairman Park invariably possesses a strategy, meow! Thus follow Chairman Park's directive, meow!"

Theo sharply interrupted them in irritation.

As anticipated, Chairman Park is a mastermind, meow!

He's deploying Chairman Park's supreme tactic: nourish them initially, then clinch the bargain, meow!

Theo trusted Sejun was unleashing that formidable method he had once succumbed to inescapably.

'Prime negotiation principle.'

Delight the counterpart with savory dishes!

Sejun merely entertained a humble notion: foster a pleasant vibe via tasty provisions and dominate the bargaining.

Puhuhut. Yet upon tasting Chairman Park's dishes, repayment demands vast sums, meow! Chairman Park's culinary creations cost dearly, meow!

Theo envisioned the sequence post Sejun's supreme maneuver.

"Puhuhut. Naturally, we can then insist on an exorbitant series rights fee in exchange for the magnificent hybrid Chairman Park's cuisine, meow!"

Furthermore, Theo intended a lavish revenue division with the station at roughly 99.9 to 0.1. Sejun would claim 99.9 naturally. Ceding 0.1% constituted Theo's notion of liberality.

Thus, oblivious to the perilous snare(?) he laid,

"Bae Hyun-jung?"

"…Lee So-min?"

Lee So-min and Bae Hyun-jung, respectively the Asia-Pacific overseers for Yukflix and Sitzny, encountered one another before the SKC Broadcasting Station's canteen.

Director Jung Chan-soo, this is your ploy to set us at odds?

No chance I'll yield to Yukflix!

Neither concealed their dissatisfaction while eyeing the other.

Right then.

"Huh?"

"Hm?"

The pair, enticed by an appetizing aroma, abruptly entered the canteen as though mesmerized.

And then.

"Puhuhut. That bargain went splendidly, meow!"

"…?!"

"…?!"

Unbeknownst to them, the duo had pressed their seals consecutively onto the pacts Theo presented.

F… fifty billion won?! Bae Hyun-jung, what have you wrought?!

I endorsed a deal to remit 50 billion for a non-exclusive single-installment series?!

Horror struck the two over their recent actions. Now, dismissal loomed alongside potential indemnity claims.

"Puhuhut. I'll utilize the funds wisely, meow!"

Theo flaunted the agreements before them with a mischievous smirk.

Consequently, the day after sealing the deals.

"How to Make a Miracle Happen on Christmas" commenced broadcast at 11 p.m. on Christmas Eve via SKC, concurrently on Yukflix and Sitzny.

Undoubtedly, the series' material had been profoundly modified from the source, now merely depicting Taecho and the prospective Creator Gods feasting and frolicking in purposeless footage.

And then, wonders commenced for viewers of the series.

One restored their audition. Another witnessed a comatose kin revive. Yet another, after prolonged efforts, triumphed in a proposal.

The amassed fate from spectators of the series with future Creator Gods invoked marvels.

And as marvels transpired on Earth.

"Everyone, prepared?"

"Puhuhut. Fully set, meow!"

Kuehehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehe. Cuengi stands ready too!]

(Pip-pip. Sejun-nim, count me in!)

Kking! Kking!

[Butler! Remove this bandeau! It chafes!]

"Hey! Park Blackie, remain motionless!"

Kking! Kking!

[Refuse! It chafes!]

"Fine. Maintain it, and you get five baked desiccated sweet potatoes."

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hehe. Butler! Henceforth, the mighty Blackie becomes the mighty Blackdolph!] (TL: Blackie + Rudolph = Blackdolph)

"Daddy, Taecho desires to haul the sleigh alongside the brothers too!"

Sejun readied his Santa gig alongside his allies, all attired as Rudolph.
