: I Invite You to Chairman Park''s Party, Meow!
<strong>TL: Hanguk</strong>
Tower Floor 55.
On the way to visit the rabbit couple, founding members of the cave farm.
Kking! Kking!
Fenrir, who had been sleeping soundly on Theos back and even drooling, suddenly started crying out.
Why is the little Whiny suddenly like this, meow?!
Theo, taken aback.
Piyo. Piyo.
[Well, lets just knock him out for now.]
Thats a good idea, meow!
Thump!
Theo knocked Fenrir out cold by hitting him on the back of the head.
Kking
These guys, Im just hungry
Fenrir was forcibly put into a sleep mode.
Carrying the unconscious Fenrir, Theo moved on.
Puhuhut. Is the leader rabbit here, meow?
Looking at the giant carrot field, Theo asked Coco.
Ppak! Ppak!
[Yes! The father of the ck Rabbit, the Supreme King, is staying here!]
Coco answered Theos question.
The father rabbit was here, farming carrots with his wife and other children.
Meow? But if the leader rabbits son is a king, why is he farming, meow?
Theo, whose daily life was all about leisure, asked in a voice filled with iprehension.
Its because he said he finds farming morefortable than living luxuriously in the royal pce, so he moved here.
Puhuhut. That sounds simr to Chairman Park, meow!
Theo said, reminiscing about Sejun, who worked hard every day without a day off. Suddenly, I miss Chairman Park, meow!
Then
Peek!
Peep!
Pwee!
Pang!
The rabbits, having heard Theos voice, came rushing out to greet him. Indeed, rabbits have excellent hearing.
Puhuhut. Its nice to see you guys, meow!
Theo greeted the rabbits.
And then
You guyse to Chairman Parks party, meow !
He invited them to Sejuns one-year survival anniversary party.
Peek!
[Of course, we must go!]
Peep!
[Kids, pack your things!]
Scatter.
At the rabbit couplesmand, the rabbits quickly dispersed to prepare for departure.
Now, lets go find the Minotaur King, meow!
Ppak!
[The Minotaur King has heard about the party and went up to the 99th floor of the tower.]
Coco informed Theo of the Minotaur Kings whereabouts following Theos remark.
Do you also know Elkas location, meow?
Ppak! Ppak!
[Yes! Elka~nim is also on his way to the 99th floor of the tower right now.]
Puhuhut. Then my errand for Chairman Park is done, meow! Piyot! Lets go to the 75th floor, meow!
Piyo!
[Yes!]
From now on, Theo nned to do things not assigned by Sejun.
***
Alright! Huh?
Sejun woke up and looked down at his empty spot where his legs were.
What? Vice Chairman Theo hasnt returned yet?
Sejun spoke with a worried voice. He thought Theo would have returned by dawn at thetest
Its ominous. Vice Chairman Theo, where could that guy be causing trouble?
Sejun wasnt worried about Theo but worried that Theo might be getting into trouble.
Suddenly.
Sejun kicked off the bed and got up
Swoosh.
And marked the 364th day morning on the wall.
And then
Huh?!
Outside the house, Sejun saw the enormously grown Podori and the ents that were supposed to be in the western forest.
Crunch. Crunch.
The ents were slowly walking around Podori, seemingly protecting it.
Why are the ents acting like that?
[Hehe. Maybe they think Podori will be the World Tree.]
At Sejuns question, mie, who was photosynthesizing outside, cheerfully responded. Finally, Podori has be useful!
However
mie, how heartbroken must you feel looking at Podori?
Sejun thought mie was pretending to be bright on purpose.
mie was once a candidate for the World Tree, but not anymore. It was different now.
She must be very envious on the inside?
Pat. Pat.
Sejunforted mie by stroking its leaves and
[Hehe. I feel good.]
mie thoroughly enjoyed Sejuns touch.
While Sejun was stroking mie,
Whirring!
The sound of the Poisonous Honeybee Queens wings fluttering was heard around.
Huh? Whats that?
Looking towards the source of the sound,
Whirr!
[Good morning, Sejun~nim!]
Rubbing.
The Poisonous Honeybee Queen, a founding member of Sejuns cave farm, greeted Sejun by rubbing her body against his face.
Uh, good morning.
The Poisonous Honeybee Queen had recently been chosen as one of the sessors to the Poisonous Queen Bee in the western forest, receiving knowledge from her.
Whirr! Whirr!
[Sejun~nim, please try this! Its royal jelly I made during todays practice!]
The Poisonous Honeybee Queen ced a piece of ck royal jelly she made herself into Sejuns mouth.
Swoosh.
The royal jelly, melting in Sejuns mouth like cotton candy, emitted a floral fragrance.
Then,
?!
Sejuns face stiffened.
This is made from honey, why does it taste bitter?
Because he felt an unexpectedly bitter taste on his tongue.
Whirr?!
[Its delicious, isnt it?!]
The Poisonous Honeybee Queen, unaware, was full of anticipation in front of him.
He couldnt spit it out on a smiling face.
Uh Its delicious.
Sejun forced a smile, lifting the corners of his mouth.
And then,
[You have consumed poorly made royal jelly.]
[All stats increase by 3.]
[You have consumed a bitter medicine.]
[Talent: A Medicine Thats Bitter is Good for Stamina has been activated.]
[Stamina increases by 3.]
The messages appeared.
My stamina increased by 3?!
Thanks to that, Sejun could tell that the ck royal jelly he ate was quite bitter.
Whirr! Whirr!
[Heres another one! Ill make it tastier next time!]
Okay.
Make sure its tasty. Sejun swallowed his inner thoughts and epted the ck royal jelly given by the Poisonous Honeybee Queen.
Whirr!
[Then, Im going to rest a bit!]
As the Poisonous Honeybee Queen entered her hive,
Crunch. Crunch.
Sejun hurriedly ate a Blue Kudzu Root to neutralize the bitterness in his mouth.
Once the bitterness in his mouth subsided somewhat,
Lets go make some food. mie, lets go.
[Yes!]
Sejun ced mie on his shoulder and headed to the cooking area.
A littleter,
Kueng! Kueng!
[Dad Cuengi is hungry!]
Cuengi, who woke up, came into the cooking area, patting his stomach.
Just wait a bit, eat this while you wait.
Sejun handed Cuengi the ck royal jelly. Hehehe. Lets see you handle this.
However,
Swipe.
Cuengi used his front paw to block the ck royal jelly, as if he instinctively knew it was bitter.
Kueng! Kueng!
[Dad Cuengi is sensitive because hes hungry! No jokes!]
Cuengi said, frowning deeply. Why are you joking about food?!
Ah Ah, sorry. I got it confused. Just wait, Ill make food quickly.
Sejun pretended to make a mistake and hurriedly took out another honey jelly for Cuengi. Such an exaggerated act.
Kueng
Cuengi felt sad looking at Sejun. Cuengi was too stern Dad is doing strange things because of Cuengi.
Cuengi will help Dad!
So, feeling sorry, he decided to help Sejun.
Kueng! Kueng!
[Cuengi will help Dad! Cuengi will put the cutlery!]
Oh?! Really?! It would be nice if Cuengi helps!
Sejun was so focused on Cuengis sudden offer to help that he overlooked Cuengis polite speech.
Meeting an irresponsible father, the child starts to mature on his own.

Tower Floor 75.
Puhuhut. Weve arrived, meow!
Piyo? Piyo?
[Theo~nim, why are we here? Are we doing another draw?]
Piyot asked Theo.
No, meow! Were here to distribute invitations to Chairman Parks party, meow!
Piyo? Piyo?
[Party invitations? Did we have such a thing?]
Puhuhut. Were going to make them now, meow!
Theo responded and entered the general store,
Give me 1000 sheets of paper, meow!
Theo bought 1000 sheets of palm-sized paper from the general store owner.
1000 sheets of paper will be 1 Tower Coin.
For Theo, 1 Tower Coin was almost like 10 won,
Give me a discount, meow!
Theo bargained three times. Chairman Park said you must bargain three times when buying something, meow!
Theo, who never forgot and always abided by Sejuns teachings.
Alright. Then Ill give it to you for 0.7 Tower Coins.
Thanks to that, he was able to purchase it for 0.3 Tower Coins cheaper.
Having bought the paper, Theo sat down on the steps of the general store and started stamping his paw print on the paper.
Piyo?
[Theo~nim, is that the invitation?]
Puhuhut. Thats right, meow! Piyot, pass these over, meow!
Piyo!
[Yes!]
By having Piyot pass over the stamped papers, the work was divided, and the invitations werepleted more quickly.
A littleter,
Puhuhut. The invitations areplete, meow!
Theopleted 1000 invitations and proudly walked to the center of the shopping district.
Puhuhut. This ce looks good, meow!
Theo settled in the center of the street.
Snap.
I invite you to Chairman Parks party, meow!
Theo handed out invitations to passing pedestrians like flyers.
However,
Swoosh. Swoosh.
They avoided the invitations from Theo and just passed by.
Snap. Snap. Snap.
Swoosh. Swoosh. Swoosh.
What, meow Why wont they ept Chairman Parks party invitations, meow?
When Theo was about to despair after dozens of attempts with no one epting the invitations,
What are you doing here, Theo~nim?
Mimyr, the legendary merchant who had finished trading and was exploring the shopping district, found Theo.
Mimyr, long time no see, meow! I am distributing invitations for Chairman Parks one-year survival anniversary party
Are you selling them?!!!
Meow?! Ye Yes, meow!
Caught off guard by Mimyrs enthusiastic reaction, Theo quickly changed his response from I was just handing them out, meow to agree with her.
Really?! Theo~nim, I want to buy an invitation! How much?!
Mimyr eximed with excitement at Theos response.
To attend a party hosted by the great ck Dragon?! It would be an honor for generations!
Puhuhut. Its 1 billion Tower Coins per invitation, meow!
Yes! Ill buy 10!
Mimyr happily paid 10 billion Tower Coins and took 10 invitations.
The invitations that were just being handed out for free a moment ago. Suddenly, their value skyrocketed to 1 billion Tower Coins each.
And then,
Whats the legendary merchant Mimyr buying?
What is she buying?
The entities around started to show interest and gather one by one.
Uh?! Whats that?
Lets go see.
This attracted the attention of passing pedestrians again,
Whats going on?
Theyre selling party invitations?
I just heard that the legendary merchant Mimyr bought 10 invitations to the great ck Dragons 1st anniversary party for 10 billion Tower Coins!
Really?!
The rumor that one needed an invitation to attend the great ck Dragons 1st anniversary party spread quickly.

Tower Floor 99, Western Forest.
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Its something good for dad!]
Swoosh.
While Cuengi was tending to the herbs in the kudzu field, searching for herbs to give to Sejun,
p. p.
(Brother Cuengi, theres big trouble!)
The golden bat hurriedly flew to Cuengi.
Kueng?! Kueng?!
[Whats the matter? Is dad in danger?!]
Cuengi quickly got up.
(No, Sejun~nim is having a party in two days!)
The golden bat answered after overhearing the conversation of the ck Minotaurs who had arrived on the 99th floor.
Kueng?
[What party?]
(Its a party to celebrate Sejun~nims one-year survival anniversary.)
Sejun, nning to keep it simple, had not yet mentioned it to the two.
However,
Kueng! Kueng!
[Then its a very important party! Cuengi must prepare a gift for dad!]
To Cuengi, Sejuns one-year survival anniversary wasnt an event to be taken lightly. It was a tremendous miracle that their incredibly weak dad survived a whole year!
(What will you prepare?)
Kueng! Kueng!
[Cuengi has something in mind! Follow me!]
Dadada.
Cuengi started to run, speaking out. There was a herb he had noticed before but hadnt harvested because it was on a different floor.
Cuengi, who until now had not descended the tower unless he was searching for Sejun or with Sejun,
For the first time, Cuengi went down the tower even though Sejun was on the 99th floor.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.
