Black Tower, 75th floor.
Kkyaoong?!
[Chief Piyot, why are we doing this?!]
Nyongnyong!
[Chief, the calculations are too hard!]
Ppokppok!
[Let’s just rest a bit first!]
Jjaekjjaek?![When do we eat?!]
Piyo! Piyo!
[This is all part of social experience! Stop complaining and do it!]
Piyot was managing seniors more than 300 years older and making them sell invitations to merchants.
“Puhuhut. My subordinate Ulrich, welcome, meow!”
Theo was handling big spenders who bought invitations in bulk.
“Hello. Vice Chairman Theo! Are there any invitations left for us Black Orcs to participate?”
“Puhuhut. How many do you need, meow?!”
“Please give us 7.3 million!”
“Puhuhut. Here you go, meow!”
Ulrich, the King of Black Orcs, bought birthday party invitations from Theo so that all Black Orcs under his command could attend.
“Vice Chairman Theo, we’ll also buy 5 million.”
The Red Orcs’ ruler ‘Giant Fang’, who had secretly tried and failed to forge invitations with help of ‘Skilled Hand’, also came and bought invitations in bulk.
The Red Orcs still hadn’t learned their lesson.
“Vice Chairman Theo, hello.”
“Puhuhut. Kona, it’s been a while, meow! How many invitations do you need, meow?!”
“I’d like to buy 500.”
Kona, the blue-backed penguin from the 44th floor of the Tower, also bought invitations to attend with her kin.
Following them, Hegel, Elka, and the banana monkeys also came to buy invitations.
Theo could have given them away for free or offered discounts, but
“Puhuhut. Pay up, meow! This is all for the great hybrid Chairman Park, meow!”
Theo persistently collected payment.
As the 50 million invitations Theo had made were almost all gone,
“Puhuhut. Let’s go buy more paper, meow!”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Yes!”
Theo took the group to purchase large amounts of paper again and resumed printing invitations.
The invitation business wasn’t over yet. Even bigger spenders were waiting.

Black Tower, 99th floor.
“Alright”
Sejun, who had fainted after receiving the <Title: Honorary Great Dragon> and then used the title’s skill ‘Energy of the Great Black Dragon (Master)’ only to faint again, opened his eyes energetically in the late afternoon.
Cuengi had worked hard to heal him, the Blackie Family had greatly increased his mental strength, and perhaps because he had slept too much, he was brimming with energy.
“I’m hungry.”
Rubbing his stomach,
Kueng…
Kking…
Sejun carried the exhausted Cuengi and Blackie Family who had fallen asleep after treating him, and headed to the kitchen to start cooking.
A little while later.
As the delicious aroma of food spread,
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. It smells delicious!]
Kihihit. Kking?
[Hehe. Is it time for roasted and dried sweet potatoes?]
Cuengi and the Blackie Family opened their eyes.
Sejun ate with his companions.
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. It’s tasty!]
Cuengi ate squid over rice with Sejun,
Jjap. Jjap. Jjap.
and Blackie gobbled up five pieces of roasted and dried sweet potatoes. Knowing how much Blackie had suffered in his mental world, Sejun didn’t serve him a diet meal today.
As they ate and their stomachs became full,
“Vitality.”
Sejun used the vitality skill to eat more food.
The vitality skill quickly digests food in the stomach and temporarily increases all stats by up to 9%.
So it was a skill Sejun frequently used when he wanted to eat more.
However,
……
There was no response.
……
Cuengi, who had burned out Sejun’s vitality skill, also put down his spoon and entered reflection mode, cautiously watching Sejun.
“Cuengi, did you burn it?”
Kueng…
[Yes…]
Cuengi responded to Sejun’s question with a guilty expression.
Cuengi didn’t want to burn Sejun’s vitality skill either, which would have allowed them to eat together longer, but things were urgent and there was no time to choose a different skill.
“It’s okay. Cuengi did it to heal Dad, right? Besides, if I go to the peach farm on the 55th floor of the Tower and eat peaches, I can learn it again. Cuengi will find it again for me, right?”
Sejun patted Cuengi’s head and spoke with a voice full of trust.
Kueng! Kueng!
[That’s right! Cuengi will find an even better peach for Dad!]
Cuengi answered cheerfully with a smile.
If they went and couldn’t find the [Soft Peach of Vitality] that grants the vitality skill, Cuengi might be disappointed, but in that case, they’d just find another way.
There’s always a way.
Since Wolgang had asked to visit once, Sejun figured he might as well go down tomorrow.
“Cuengi, Dad is fine, so you eat the rest.”
As Sejun, who could no longer eat more due to the loss of the Vitality skill, put down his spoon and gave the remaining squid rice bowl to Cuengi,
Kkirorong.
Eomrorong.
Kkirurung.
…
..
.
The sound of the Blackie Family snoring was heard.
Blackie had fallen asleep at some point.
Whether it was from earlier overexertion or the aftermath of Sejun’s skill, he had passed out while eating roasted and dried sweet potatoes.
He had eaten 4 and had one left, but he was tightly holding it in his mouth, showing his determination not to let it be taken away.
“You punk. Let’s save this for next time.”
Kking…
104.28.193.250
Sejun removed the dried sweet potato Blackie was holding in his mouth and stuck it to his back. It stuck well since it was sticky.
And then.
“Mr. Blackie, you have such a good life.”
Kking…
While stretching the peacefully sleeping Blackie,
“Cuengi, what do you want for your birthday present?”
He asked Cuengi, who was eating.
Kueng?!
[What does Dad want for his birthday present?!]
Cuengi replied with a counter-question.
“Dad? Dad wants the peach Cuengi will find.”
Kuehehehe. Kueng! Kueng!
[Hehehe. Got it! Cuengi will find the best peach!]
Cuengi’s motivation flared at Sejun’s words.
“So what does Cuengi want as a present?”
Kueng…
Cuengi paused to think.
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Cuengi wants Dad to get healthy and play with Cuengi for a long, long time! That would be a present for Cuengi!]
Krrgh. As expected, my son is the best.
Cuengi’s answer touched Sejun’s heart.
And then.
“Cuengi, but Dad is healthy though?”
Sejun corrected the misunderstanding.
Kueng! Kueng!
[No! Dad is not healthy!]
Cuengi shook his head firmly.
And at dawn.
Kking?!
Where did Great Blackie’s roasted and dried sweet potato go?!
Sniff sniff.
I can smell it, but?
Blackie woke up late at night and spent a long time searching for the roasted and dried sweet potato stuck to his back, but ultimately didn’t find it and went back to sleep.
***
The next morning.
“Alright, I’m heading out.”
[The Tower’s Administrator says in an excited voice to bring back a lot of peaches.]Kuong. Kuong.
[Sejun~nim, please be safe. Cuengi, watch Dad closely.]
Kuehehehe. Kueng! Kueng! Kueng!
[Hehehe. Got it! Cuengi will watch Dad well! Mom should train hard too!]
Sejun received a farewell from Aileen and Pink-fur and moved to the 55th floor with Cuengi and the Blackie Family.
When they arrived at the waypoint on the 55th floor of the Black Tower,
[You have arrived at the 55th floor of the Black Tower.][You have descended 44 floors from the highest floor, the 99th floor, to the 55th floor.]
[Due to the effect of <Title: One Who Reached the Summit of All Towers>, the effect of <Title: Retrogressor> has been amplified tenfold.]
[Due to the effect of <Title: Retrogressor>, all stats have increased by 1320.]
[Due to the effect of <Title: One Who Reached the Summit of the Nine Towers>, you are invincible for 10 seconds after descending the Tower.]
Messages appeared before Sejun.
“Hehehe.”
He couldn’t hide the sense of pride welling up inside him.
At that moment.
Clank.
The Void Storage opened,
Kueng!
[Dad, no!]
Kking!
[Butler! Don’t make that ugly face!]
Cuengi and Blackie burst out and began energetically stomping on Sejun’s face with their front paws.
They too had realized, watching Sejun’s transformation in <Grondra> that how dangerous it was when he makes this face.
There’s a saying that you can’t spit on a smiling face, so why am I not allowed to smile?
As Sejun lay sadly, being stomped on by Cuengi and Blackie,
Ppip!
[Sejun~nim, welcome!]
A soldier guarding the waypoint greeted him.
“Yes. Just let Wolgang and Heuk Wol-bok know that we’ve arrived. We’ll stop by the peach farm before going to them.”
Ppip!
[Understood!]
Sejun had the soldier inform them of his visit and said,
“Cuengi, let’s go.”
Kueng!
With Cuengi’s telekinesis, they flew into the sky and headed toward the peach farm.
A little while later.
Sejun and his group arrived at the peach farm.
“Oh. A lot of peaches have ripened.”
Sejun could see white rabbits tending the farm and peaches that had ripened to a pinkish color.
Sniff sniff.
Kuehehehe. Kueng! Kueng! Kueng!
[Hehehe. . It smells sweet! Dad, wait just a bit! Cuengi will find the best peach!]
Cuengi quickly began sniffing around in search of the [Soft Peach of Vitality], which could grant the vitality skill.
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Butler! Great Blackie wants to eat that one!]
Blackie, intoxicated by the sweet smell, begged Sejun to let him eat peaches by biting his pant leg.
“Alright.”
Pluck.
[You have harvested a peach.][Your job experience has increased very, very slightly.]
[Your proficiency in Harvesting (Master) has increased slightly.]
[You have gained 1 experience point.]
Sejun picked one well-ripened peach.
“Blackie, is it sweet?”
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. Yeah! But now I want roasted and dried sweet potatoes!]
As he shared it with Blackie,
Kueng!
[Found it!]
Cuengi had found the peach he was searching for.
Hehehe. There are lots of good peaches!
And he had found five of them.
Sejun’s Tower Farmer rank had influenced the farm, improving the quality of the crops grown there.
Thus, Cuengi secured five [Soft Peaches of Vitality].
He placed three of them on his front paws and,
Kueng!
[Time to synthesize herbs!]
He used the Herbalist skill.
Cuengi’s herb synthesis was a skill that could only be used on herbs or crops with potent medicinal properties, enough to qualify as herbs.
It allowed synthesizing three identical herbs into one, thereby enhancing its efficacy.
Flash.
After a dazzling light flashed from Cuengi’s front paws and disappeared, only one peach remained on his paws.
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Dad, Cuengi found a super good peach!]
Cuengi excitedly ran toward Sejun and handed him the peach he had synthesized from three [Soft Peaches of Vitality].
[Super Soft Peach of Vitality]
The one peach that came into Sejun’s hand.
“Super Vitality?!”
Sejun hurriedly examined the peach.
[Super Soft Peach of Vitality]→ This is a peach whose medicinal effects were enhanced by Black Tower’s advanced herbalist, Park Cuengi, using the herb synthesis skill with three Soft Peaches of Vitality.
→ The hidden effect of the peach was activated by Park Cuengi, the Black Tower’s advanced herbalist, by burning 70,000 magic power.
→ It has become sweeter and its medicinal effects have greatly increased.
→ Upon consumption, all stats increase by 100.
→ Upon consumption, you can learn the skill: Super Vitality.
→ Upon consumption, the Talent: Longevity can be awakened.
→ Usage Restriction: Lv. 50 or higher, all stats 1000 or higher
He used 70,000 magic power?!
Sejun was surprised at first that Cuengi had burned magic power, but then
No wait. Cuengi’s magic stat is over 1 million…
He soon realized it wasn’t a big number for Cuengi and felt relieved.
But the hidden effect is longevity?
While Sejun was lost in thought,
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Butler! Give me that one too!]
Blackie bounced up and down, eyeing the [Super Vitality Soft Peach] in Sejun’s hand that was giving off an intensely sweet aroma.
Kueng!
[Blackie, you eat this one!]
Kking…
[Okay…]
He had no choice but to give up. Instead, he ate the [Soft Peach of Vitality] that Cuengi was offering with a scary face. It felt like something bad would happen if he didn’t eat it.
On the 670th day since entering the Tower, Sejun, in exchange for losing the vitality skill, was able to obtain the superior Super Vitality skill and the Talent: Longevity.
“Hehehe. This is what you call ‘blessing in disguise’.”
Sejun wore a smug expression.
Kueng!
[Dad, that face is not okay!]
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Butler’s face is ugly!]
The price he paid was a sticky paw massage from Cuengi and Blackie, whose paws were smeared with peach juice.
