“Wow. So crops can be one-star too.”
But the effect is no joke.
Sejun marveled as he looked at the options of the Divine Elixir: Pea of Great Magic Power.
The increase in both magic power and magic power potential upon consumption was high.
[Talent: Enhanced Magic Power Body (Stage 1)]
→ A talent that allows the body to adapt to excessively high magic power and maintain a certain level of physical balance on its own.
→ For every 100 increase in magic power, Strength, Stamina, and Agility stats each increase by 1.
[Talent: Double Magic Power Heart]
→ A talent that allows the user to divide their magic power into two.
→ Magic power stability greatly increases.
The talents that awakened also helped solve, to some extent, Sejun’s issue of suffering from too much magic power.
‘And on top of that, the skills enhance and expand the magic power stream as the magic power grows.’
More precisely, every time the magic power exceeds a certain level, the skill level increases by 1, enhancing and expanding the magic power stream by 10%.
It's exactly made for me.
Everything Sejun needed was there like a gift set, as if it had been customized.
If there was one regret, it was that the pea would not sprout even if planted. But the efficacy more than made up for that.
Daughter, thank you.
Dad will do his best!
Gulp.
Sejun, grateful to his future daughter Park Chae-rin, swallowed the Divine Elixir: Pea of Great Magic Power.
[You have consumed the Divine Elixir: Pea of Great Magic Power.]
[Magic power potential increased by 1100...]
...
..
.
[You have learned Skill: Magic Power Stream Strengthening Lv. 1.]
[You have learned Skill: Magic Power Stream Expansion Lv. 1.]
While the messages were appearing,
[Due to your <Power: Super Sunfish Dual Core>, the <Talent: Double Magic Power Heart> evolves into <Talent: Quad Magic Heart>.]
“Oh.”
Thanks to Blackie, Sejun already had two divided divine beast cores, and he obtained the talent to divide his magic power between the cores, allowing him to have a total of four magic hearts.
Blackie, how commendable.
Should I give him a reward?
Feeling impressed by Blackie for the first time in a while, Sejun looked around to give him some roasted and dried sweet potato.
Sniff. Sniff.
Kking?! Kking!
[What’s this?! It smells bad!]
Blackie, who had been wandering around alone, wrinkled his nose after smelling the Divine Elixir: Pea of Great Magic Power.
“Hehehe.”
How cute.
"Blackie, let's eat some Roasted and Dried Sweet Potato."
Sejun called out to Blackie and tried to give him some roasted and dried sweet potato.
Kking?! Kking! Kking?! Kking!
[Why?! There’s no way the butler would suddenly give me roasted and dried sweet potato! You’re trying to scold the great Blackie again, aren’t you?! Great Blackie won’t be fooled!]
Suspicious for no reason, Blackie didn’t take the roasted and dried sweet potato from Sejun.
“Hmph! Then don’t eat it. Cuengi, do you want some?”
Feeling hurt, Sejun took out a bunch of roasted and dried sweet potato and offered them to Cuengi.
And then.
Kueng!
Cuengi immediately ran over and received the roasted and dried sweet potato from Sejun.
Kking!
[No!]
Blackie, realizing too late that Sejun had been serious, dashed toward the roasted and dried sweet potato Cuengi was eating.
However.
Kuehehehe.
Cuengi tossed the roasted and dried sweet potato Sejun gave him straight into his mouth in one go.
Kking...
Blackie was devastated.
“That’s why you should come when I call you. Here.”
Sejun placed a piece of roasted and dried sweet potato in Blackie’s mouth.
Kihihit.
Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.
As if he had never been disappointed, Blackie wore a happy expression.
Sejun put Blackie into the sling bag.
At that moment,
“Daddy, Taecho too. Ah.”
Taecho, who had been sleeping on Sejun’s back, opened her mouth like a baby bird, eyes still closed, asking for food too.
“Hehehe. Alright.”
Sejun also placed a piece of roasted and dried sweet potato into Taecho’s mouth.
“Heehee.”
Seeing Taecho smile brightly in delight, Sejun smiled widely too.
Time to harvest the other fruits.
Sejun began harvesting the fruits that had grown on the pea tree.
While harvesting, Sejun followed the tree that had pierced through the ceiling and went up above the 10th Tower’s ceiling.
“Wow.”
He could see the branches spreading out in all directions toward the vast, empty space that remained after Destruction disappeared.
There are not many fruits?
Compared to the massive size of the tree, there were less than 100 fruits.
“What? Only 47?”
I will have to eat them sparingly.
No. Even including the one Sejun ate, there were less than 50.
Sejun took out Pouch of Abundance Crafted With Utmost Sincerity and placed the Divine Elixir: Pea of Great Magic Power into it.
[3 days remaining until 1 copy of Divine Elixir: Pea of Great Magic Power is completed]
He was planning to duplicate the Divine Elixir: Pea of Great Magic Power.
Once the harvesting was done.
“Guys, let’s go home.”
“Puhuhut. Sounds good, meow!”
Sejun returned home with the group, chatted and played together, and eventually fell asleep.
Meanwhile.
[Hehe. A new recruit has arrived.]
The roots of Flamie, who had come to check on the new tree Sejun had grown, appeared in front of the pea tree.
[But why are you so weak? You’ll die at this rate. Hurry and take this nutrient.]
Flamie, feeling sorry for the pea tree, offered it some nutrient. It was strangely feeble for its size, looking as if it might die at any moment.
In truth, the pea tree was one that, like a bean reaching the sky, grew massive in a short time, consumed all its nutrients to bear fruit, and then died.
However, upon meeting Flamie, the pea tree’s fate changed. And this was something future Chae-rin had predicted. Flamie wouldn’t just pass by the pea tree.
Creak.
The pea tree moved its branches and began absorbing the nutrient that Flamie offered.
The pea tree eagerly accepted and consumed the nutrient Flamie gave.
[Hehe. You’ll get indigestion, eat slowly. There’s plenty of nutrient.]
Flamie continued to supply the nutrients.
After consuming about five of Flamie’s nutrients, the pea tree produced about 50 more fruits.
[Oh? Don’t push yourself! You’ll really die at this rate!]
Flamie, worried that the pea tree might die, began supplying a slightly stronger nutrient.
The pea tree absorbed the nutrients and, each time it gathered some energy, it produced more fruit.
[Sigh. I guess you cannot hear me.]
Flamie realized that the pea tree wasn’t in a state to understand her and quietly continued offering the nutrient.
To bear fruit desperately and die in a short life was the pea tree’s fate. Telling such a tree not to bear fruit would have been too cruel.
The seeds will not even sprout anyway...
That made it even more pitiful.
[Bear as many fruits as you want! I’ll help you!]
Flamie continued supplying the nutrient, and the pea tree continued bearing fruit.
How much time passed?
Hundreds of peas grew on the branches of the pea tree.
[…Where am I? And who am I?]
The pea tree suddenly became self-aware.
[Hehe. Pea tree, congratulations on becoming a World Tree.]
Flamie congratulated the pea tree.
With Flamie’s help, the tree had borne many fruits, overcome the fate of bearing fruit only to die, and gained a new destiny by becoming a World Tree.
[I’m a World Tree?]
[Yes. But soon, you’ll become a Dimensional Tree.]
[A Dimensional Tree? What’s that? Is it something good?]
[Yes, it’s a good thing. But let’s talk while you take some of this nutrient.]
[Okay.]
Flamie coaxed the pea tree while feeding it nutrient.
The next morning.
“Huh? More fruits?”
Is it a tree that bears fruits quickly?
Sejun, who had come to check on the tree, found peas growing on the branches. When he harvested them, there were over 200.
“Well done, Wandubaek.”
Sejun, praising the pea tree that had produced many fruits, named it “Wandubaek” combining pea (wandu) and two hundred (i-baek).
And so, Wandubaek joined the 10th floor of the 10th Tower.
***
[You have arrived at the 75th floor of the Black Tower.]
With no word from Jeras about having found a magic tutor, Sejun arrived at the 75th floor of the Tower with his companions to ask about the situation.
“There must be a lot of applicants, so it’s probably just taking a while to review them, right?”
“Puhuhut. That must be it, meow! Becoming the magic tutor of the great hybrid Chairman Park is such a huge honor, it’s something they could brag about for generations, meow!”
Chatting with Theo, Sejun headed toward the headquarters of the Wandering Merchant Guild.
A short while later.
Sejun and his group arrived at Jeras’s office.
“There are no applicants.”
“Huh? Not even one?!”
“Yes. Not a single one.”
Sejun received a shocking report.
“Meow?! That can’t be, meow! Jeras, you did write that it’s to find a magic tutor for Chairman Park of Sejun Company, right, meow?!”
“Of course. I even bolded that part to highlight it. Plus, I posted the announcement all over the shopping district where it would be visible.”
“Meow? Then why are there no applicants, meow?”
“Exactly....”
“Kyoo. That’s strange.”
Kueng...
Kking...
“Sniff... Daddy need to learn magic....”
Sejun and his companions fell into thought, truly not understanding why there were no applicants.
However.
Of course there aren’t any.
Who would apply for that?
Jeras thought it was only natural that there were no applicants.
Why? Because Sejun already had Iona, the magic genius and Wizard of Great Destruction, by his side. Why would anyone with ordinary talent apply to be his magic tutor?
To other wizards, the job posting made no sense.
This is a trap. A trap by Vice Chairman Theo, the great devil, to stamp the seal using the pretext that someone who came to teach magic has terrible skills.
Due to which a massive misunderstanding had occurred.
“What should I do? I really need to start learning magic control soon....”
Sejun’s magic power had nearly reached 600,000. Magic control was becoming more and more essential.
“Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot. Sejun-nim, then let’s go to the Wizard’s Association. There are lots of wizards there, so I’m sure someone can teach you magic control.”
“Puhuhut. That’s right, meow! My Iona is the Chairman of the Wizard’s Association, meow!”
“Hehehe. Perfect. I’m sure there are some ordinary wizards there. The less talented, the better.”
So Sejun headed to the 66th floor of the Tower with his companions to find a magic tutor.
“Chairman is here!”
“Quick, clean up!”
“Forget cleaning, just get the report ready first!”
The wizards at the headquarters of the Wizard’s Association scrambled to prepare for Iona’s arrival. Every time Iona visited, her mood was terrible, and the wizards did everything they could not to get on her nerves.
Soon after.
News arrived that Iona was almost there.
Gulp.
The wizards, extremely tense, waited for Iona’s arrival.
And then.
“Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot. Everyone, thank you for your hard work. Could someone bring me the roster of low-level wizards?”
““...?!””
They heard Iona’s soft, gentle voice for the first time in their lives.
“Puhuhut. Iona is way too kind to her subordinates, meow!”
“Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot. Not that much. I get angry when I need to.”
The cunning Iona was acting coy in front of Theo.
‘What-?!’
'You are always angry!'
The wizards of the Wizard’s Association looked extremely wronged.
