Chapter 303: So, Have You Been Crawling Until Now?

Great purple dragons, rulers of poison.

They had one concern.

The poison would seep out with their breath every time they inhaled and with their energy every time they mustered their strength.

Thus, nothing around them remained unharmed.

Even other dragon tribes shunned the purple dragons for their poison-breathing nature.

Hence, beings far weaker than the dragons couldnt possibly withstand the power of the purple dragon.

All living and non-living things could not bear the poison of the purple dragon and either died or broke apart.

As a result, the surroundings of the purple dragons became desolate, and the purple dragons, having lost any targets for their affection, were heartbroken.

However, as time passed, the purple dragons got used to not giving their hearts to anyone, and it became natural for them.

Eventually, the purple dragons lost the method to give their hearts.

The poison that the purple dragons possessed became even more potent, and they began to accumulate an even stronger poison within their bodies.

And the accumulated poison gradually condensed, turning into heart poison and took its place in the hearts of the purple dragons.

The heart poison was so potent that it could intoxicate even the purple dragons who ruled over poison.

None of the purple dragons realized that they had been poisoned, so secretive was its nature.

The hearts of the purple dragons poisoned by heart poison became selfish, narrow-minded, and eccentric.

The purple dragons envied and were jealous of other dragons, and naturally, their relationships with other dragons worsened.

Moreover, each time they fought with other dragons, the heart poison accumulated faster, continuing the vicious cycle.

***

Sssssss.

As the detoxifying ability of the detoxifying green onion disappeared,

[The detoxifying green onion has slightly detoxified the heart poison.]

A message appeared.

And then,

Hng-hng.

Something in the heart reacted violently.

Heart poison?!

Tier finally realized the heart poison that had been lurking in his heart.

Tier was shocked by the poisonous energy he felt in his heart.

He was a purple dragon who ruled over poison and their leader.

To think that I was poisoned

The heart poison had already eroded a significant part of Tiers heart, and it wouldnt have been strange if it had gone berserk at any moment.

If I had continued in this state

I would have become a mad dragon. The thought of him, a great purple dragon, becoming a mad dragon was terrifying.

I need to eat more of this!

Tier hurriedly moved the purple dragon statue to pour a plate of grilled green onions into his mouth.

***

[You have earned the achievement of detoxifying heart poison with detoxifying green onions.]

[As a reward for achieving the achievement, you can harvest a higher level of detoxifying green onions for one week.]

Heart poison?

Sejun was puzzled by the message that suddenly appeared before him.

Whoosh.

The purple dragon statue poured a plate full of grilled green onions into his mouth.

Its Tier-nim.

Thanks to this, Sejun was quickly able to figure out who was afflicted with the heart poison.

Kueng

[Cuengi needs to eat it too]

Cuengi, unable to do anything because the other party was a dragon, just stamped his feet in frustration.

There was nothing he could do but look at the disappearing grilled green onions with a look of regret.

Ah. There was one thing he could do.

Kueng!

[Dad, the grilled green onions are gone!]

Reporting to Sejun.

Swoosh. Swoosh.

Cuengi understand. Tier-nim is sick, so he needs to eat a lot of green onions.

Sejun soothed Cuengi as he patted his head.

Kueng?

[Dragons get sick too?]

Yes. So, Cuengi try to understand.

Kueng! Kueng!

[Cuengi understands! Then, Cuengi will give more green onions so that the dragon-nim recovers quickly!]

Right. Our Cuengi is kind.

Sejun praised Cuengi. My baby boy is doing well!

Kuehehehe.

With Sejuns praise, the delighted Cuengi hugged a bunch of raw green onions from the void storage and

Thump.

Kueng!

[Tier-nim, eat a lot of green onions and get well quickly!]

Cuengi cheered for Tier, generously placing green onions on the plate.

-!

Tiers heart twitched at Cuengis pure intention of wishing for his speedy recovery with all sincerity.

-Thank you

Tier expressed his gratitude in a low voice that couldnt be heard, feeling awkward and ticklish for saying something he wasnt used to.

However, Tier was misunderstanding something.

Chairman Park, its 105 pieces, meow!

Theo, who had precisely checked how many green onions Tier had eaten, informed Sejun.

Hehehe. Vice Chairman Theo, good job.

Puhuhut. I know, meow!

While Cuengis heart in delivering the green onions was pure, the background was not.

Hehehe. Tier~nim, this is all on credit.

Thus, Sejun made sales on credit without Tier knowing, thanks to Cuengi.

Lets eat now. Its ready.

Sejun served kimchi egg porridge in bowls and had lunch with the animals.

And then,

Tier~nim, I hate you.

Veronica, who did not know the reason, looked at Tier with resentful eyes for eating all the baked green onions and then

Slurp.

!!

She fell in love with kimchi egg porridge after eating it.

***

Phew. Thats it.

Tier, who had been diligently detoxifying the heart poison by eating detoxifying green onions, said in a regretful voice.

Although eating green onions could reduce the size of the heart poison, it was impossible to completely eradicate it.

Still, continuing to eat could prevent the heart poison from growing.

Thus, Tier was somewhat freed from the crisis of heart poison.

I wonder if other purple dragons are like this?

Worried, Tier went to find his son, Poi, who was nearby.

Why did you come?!

Poi asked Tier with an annoyed voice as he saw him.

Because

The moment Tier saw Poi, he felt the wriggling, malicious energy of heart poison from Pois heart.

Poi, lets eat and talk!

What?

Thud!

Tier forced a detoxifying green onion into Pois mouth without explanation.

Ugh! Ugh! Ugh?!

Chew. Chew.

Initially resisting, Poi started to chew the detoxifying green onion quietly, feeling a refreshing sensation in his chest.

A little later,

Call all the purple dragons!

Yes! Father!

After hearing the explanation from Tier, Poi obediently began to summon the purple dragons.

And then,

We need to get more of these green onions!

Tier moved the purple dragon statue to find Veronica. Veronica was needed for trading with Sejun.

***

Slurp.

While Sejun was having lunch and about to drink coffee,

Kyoot, kyoot, kyoot. Chairman Sejun, congratulations on surviving for one year. This is my gift to you!

Iona handed Sejun a glass bottle left with a blue liquid.

Thanks.

Sejun expressed his gratitude to Iona and examined the glass bottle.

[Essence of Advanced Magic Power]

It is an essence where pure magic power has condensed and formed a substance.

Consumption increases magic power by 100.

Consumption greatly enhances talents related to magic power.

Expiration date: None

Grade: S

Kyoot, kyoot, kyoot. Please drink it!

Okay.

Gulp.

At Ionas urging, Sejun immediately drank the Essence of Advanced Magic Power. The essence had no taste.

Whoosh.

Instead, a cool and refreshing feeling was felt down his throat.

And then,

[You have consumed the Essence of Advanced Magic Power.]

[Magic power increases by 100.]

[Talent: Overflowing Magic Circuit is greatly enhanced.]

[Talent: Overflowing Magic Circuit evolves into an Accumulating Magic Circuit.]

A message appeared. Talents related to magic power were enhanced and evolved.

Accumulating Magic Circuit? Huh! What?!

Sejun was startled by the sensation of magic power entering his body with each breath he took.

And he quickly checked the talent Accumulating Magic Circuit.

[Talent: Accumulating Magic Circuit]

A talent that allows the magic circuit to draw in the surrounding magic power through breathing and accumulate it.

Permanently increases magic power by +0.1 every 24 hours

Magic Stat +50

Magic recovery speed +300%

Magic potential +1000

What?! Just by breathing, my magic power increases?!

Sejun was surprised while reading the description of the talent.

Kyoot, kyoot, kyoot. Congratulations, Chairman Sejun! Youve finally taken your first steps in magic power!

This is the first step?

Kyoot, kyoot, kyoot. Yes!

Iona answered as if it was obvious. So, have I been crawling until now?

Kyoot, kyoot, kyoot. Later, when Chairman Sejuns talent grows and you can connect to the magic stream, your magic power will increase even faster!

Iona, more excited than Sejun for his first steps in magic, spoke with an excited voice.

Magic Stream?

Kyoot, kyoot, kyoot. It refers to the nine giant flows of magic power that run through the world! For reference, Im connected to three streams of magic power.

Oh. So, theres such a thing.

Sejun gained new information from listening to Iona.

And then,

Oh ho! So, if I connect to three magic streams, will I be as powerful as Iona?

Sejun fantasized. Of course, it was utterly nonsensical.

Just having a lot of magic power doesnt mean youre strong.

Thus, Sejun, while talking with Iona, gained new knowledge.

Now I have to work.

Sejun moved to the green onion field.

He intended to rest for the day, but suddenly found a reason to work.

Because of the reward that allows harvesting detoxifying green onions of one higher grade for a week.

Hehehe. I cant miss the S-grade green onions.

Sejun moved with a smile.

And then,

Land moving.

Thud.

After a long time, he used Mylers hoe for a massive harvest.

Koogung.

The ground rose, and the detoxifying green onions planted in the ground were pulled out.

[You have harvested 3000 detoxifying green onions.]

[Your job experience has significantly increased.]

[Your proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 8 has increased slightly.]

[You have gained 300,000 experience points.]

[Experience points are not accumulating due to the incomplete job quest.]

Although it was regrettable that experience points were not accumulating due to the job quest, Sejuns heart wasnt heavy thanks to the S-grade green onions.

Thus, Sejun, without resting, harvested about 100,000 S-grade detoxifying green onions.

Kwek! Kwek!

When Sejun finished harvesting the detoxifying green onions and the mushroom ants were busily moving them to the void storage,

Flap. Flap.

-Wait! Veronica is going to buy all of that!

Tier urgently flew over and shouted,

Yes! I will buy them all!

Veronica followed, shouting after him.

Are you really going to buy this? Its expensive, you know.

Sejun started to build up for a high price.

But then,

Yes! Of course, it will be expensive.

?!

Veronica was unexpectedly soft, to the point where no buildup was necessary.

-So, how much?!

Tier as well.

Puhuhut. Chairman Park, both are suckers, meow!

Hehehe. Vice Chairman Theo, lets cook them well!

Understood!

Sejun and Theo exchanged sly smiles and communicated through their eyes.

And then,

Puhuhut. Veronica, these detoxifying green onions are 15,000 Tower Coins each, meow!

Theo called out the price of the detoxifying green onions, which was 100 times what they sold for to hunters.

Hehehe. Then, since there are 100,000 Grade S detoxifying green onions here, thatll be 1.5 billion Tower Coins.

Sejun smiled as he kindly calculated how much it would cost to buy all the detoxifying green onions.

1.5 billion Tower Coins? Um Tier~nim, what should we do?

Veronica looked at Tier upon hearing Sejuns words.

-Of course, we have to buy them! Hurry up and purchase!

Tier didnt hesitate and had Veronica purchase all the Grade S detoxifying green onions.

-Reserve the next 2 million detoxifying green onions you harvest as well.

Moreover, Tier gave all the money he had for buying black beans to Veronica to reserve the detoxifying green onions.

Right now, detoxifying the heart poison of the purple dragons was more urgent than buying black beans.

After finishing the trade of the green onions,

Hehehe. I made money!

Puhuhut. Its all thanks to me, meow!

The two were happy about selling the detoxifying green onions at a high price.

Right. So, go down and buy some food.

Meow?!

We should enjoy the party a bit more.

Sejun, who got tired of preparing food, sent Theo down the tower.

Day 366 in the Tower. The party wasnt over yet.
