“Mushroom Ant! Well done!”

Sejun praised the Mushroom Ant as he placed a black bean into the Golden Box of Abundance. Thanks to this, he could now obtain two black beans per day starting tomorrow.

Kkwek!

In response to Sejun’s praise, the Mushroom Ant straightened its antennae more proudly and showed its back.

“Huh?! Why are you showing your back when there’s no mushroom?!”

Confused by the Mushroom Ant’s behavior, which lacked any mushrooms on its back,

Kkwek!

The Mushroom Ant couldn’t speak but seemed frustrated.

“If it’s not the mushroom… Ah, sorry! Is this what you want?”

Sejun then took out the Black Dragon’s Scale,

Kkwek!

The Mushroom Ant quickly nodded its antennae and responded in a cheerful voice. What it wanted was a symbol of being Sejun’s subordinate – the Black Dragon tattoo.

“Here.”

When Sejun used the Black Dragon’s Scale to engrave a Black Dragon tattoo on the Mushroom Ant’s back,

Kkwek!

The Mushroom Ant greeted Sejun and hurried back to its nest where its kin were. It wanted to show off its new Black Dragon tattoo.

As the Mushroom Ant left,

“Aileen, show me the powers I can buy with my money.”

Sejun called Aileen.

Sejun currently had about 26 billion Tower Coins, including 25 billion given by Kaiser and his original funds.

[The Tower’s Administrator asks you to wait a moment.]

Shortly after,

Aileen showed Sejun the powers he could buy with his money.

“So many?”

Sejun was surprised to see the number of available powers. There were almost 100.

However,

[The Tower’s Administrator says that if you choose one attribute blessing, you cannot choose the opposing element, so choose wisely.]

Since choosing one attribute blessing meant you couldn’t choose the opposite, the actual number of powers available was less than 50. Still, it was a significant number.

“Aileen, how much for the attribute blessing powers?”

[The Tower’s Administrator says each attribute blessing power costs 20 billion Tower Coins.]

‘Hmm… then, one Blessing of Life and enhancing three other powers would be just right.’

Always prioritizing survival, Sejun naturally chose the Blessing of Life, which seemed related to survival. Having finished his calculations,

“Aileen, I choose the Blessing of Life…”

“Phuhuhut. Chairman Park, I have money, meow!”

While Sejun was shopping, Theo, who had been otherwise occupied, pulled out a money bag from his bundle and exclaimed.

“It’s okay. Aileen, I…”

Sejun, having already decided what to buy, was about to purchase the powers.

But then,

Koong!

The heavy sound of Theo’s money bag being set down drew everyone’s attention.

It was unusual for a magically lightened money bag to make such a sound.

“Phuhuhut. Chairman Park, how about this, meow?!”

Theo, looking triumphant, opened the money bag.

And then,

“Wow!”

Sejun exclaimed in awe upon seeing the contents of the money bag.

As Sejun had guessed, the money bag contained an enormous sum of money – a staggering 100 billion Tower Coins.

50 billion Tower Coins, was from selling Sejun’s crops to Mimyr and agreeing to provide a lifetime supply
