"Shall we rest now?"
"Yeah. Let's have cake and coffee."
When Park Sejun spoke after putting the children to sleep following lunch, Aileen nodded excitedly.
Kuehehehe. Kueng! Kueng!
[Hehehe. I like it! Cuengi will quickly brew the coffee!]
Crunch crunch crunch.
A moment later.
Slurp.
"Ahh. This is good."
"Delicious!"
Kueng!
[It's tasty!]
Each wore a happy expression for different reasons.
Sejun simply liked coffee.
Aileen enjoyed the harmonious taste of coffee and cake.
Cuengi liked the cake.
As the three of them enjoyed their happy moment of rest
"Puhuhut. Great hybrid Chairman Park, Mirna-nim, has sent a dragon fruit, meow!"
Theo, who had been sleeping, opened his eyes and took out a dragon fruit from his bag.
Please. Let it happen today!
Sejun carefully held the dragon fruit with a desperate expression. Lately, his dragon fruit gacha results hadn't been going well.
No. It wasn't exactly bad. It's just that the ones Sejun wanted hadn't appeared.
Since coming to <Earth>, he had obtained five dragon fruits and germinated them, but most of them only replicated farming skills.
So the five dragon fruits were currently working day and night on the 99th floor farm of the Tower.
However.
Cooking skill!
What Sejun wanted was a dragon fruit that could cook while he was away.
Last night, Sejun had prepared five days' worth of emergency food, but it was gone by morning.
The reason was,
"Sorry. I got hungry at dawn and ate it."
Because Aileen couldn't resist and ate it.
The thought, "Sejun's food is in the Void Storage!", suddenly made her eyes open wide in the early morning, and she devoured it all before she could stop herself.
It might have been easier if there had been nothing, but it was too hard to resist when it was there.
So a dragon fruit capable of cooking was even more needed.
Drip.
Thus, Sejun germinated the dragon fruit with tears squeezed from onions and the saliva of the children containing the Energy of Creation.
"It sprouted!"
Finally, Sejun succeeded in germinating the dragon fruit that had his delicious cooking and maintain cleanliness skills.
Hehehe. Now Earth will be safe even without me!
And I can make it clean too!
Thanks to that, Sejun became happy.
Dragon God Mirna-nim, thank you. Thank you for making our Sejun happy.
Aileen felt grateful to Mirna.

Seed Shop Headquarters.
"Alright. Then let's begin the work."
God-Sejun! God-Sejun! God-Sejun!
Dragon God Mirna chanted the sacred phrase three times in her heart and began creating the dragon fruit.
Originally, she started the task thinking fondly of Sejun, the only dragon who followed her. But at some point, the roles reversed.
The Dragon God now looked like she served a dragon. And not even a complete dragon, but an ambiguous one.
But Mirna didn't care. This was the happiest time she had ever known.
She had a dragon who acknowledged her, and it felt good to be able to do something for that dragon.
And so what if he was an ambiguous dragon? That very dragon Sejun had brought peace to the world and was now known to be training the next Creator God.
Thanks to him, she and the other gods could begin preparing to return to their worlds again.
That much was enough to make it not awkward for her to serve Sejun. No, other gods were actually jealous that she had so much contact with Sejun.
Thinking of many things, Mirna completed the dragon fruit.
"I'll send this to Vice Chairman Theo."
She sent the completed dragon fruit to Theo.
[You have completed a quest.]
[You have received 5 Welfare Points as a reward for completing the quest.]
The quest was completed and she gained Welfare Points.
Now, even if Theo didn't give her a designated quest, a repeatable quest had appeared so she could send Transcendence-grade seeds at any time and receive rewards.
At that moment.
[You have been acknowledged by a complete dragon. Your Divinity increases by 100.]
A message suddenly appeared before Mirna. All she had done was deliver the dragon fruit to Sejun through Theo, but she received Aileen's recognition.
"As expected! God-Sejun!"
Everything leads toward God-Sejun.
And everything ends with God-Sejun!
While Mirna was overcome with emotion,
"God-Sejun!"
"God-Sejun!"
Cheers praising Sejun rang out from other places.
It was because the other gods, having heard Mirna's chant, also began shouting the chant. At the Seed Shop Headquarters, once someone started the chant, it spread like a chain reaction.
And then,
"God-Sejun!"
"God-Sejun!"
"God-Sejun!"
All the non-combat gods gathered in the plaza while chanting. Once this chanting started, it could not stop until everyone was satisfied.
"God-Sejun!"
Thus, even Mirna, who had started the chant, moved to the plaza while chanting. The god who first initiated the chant could testify in front of everyone about the miracle they had experienced that day.
At that moment.
Clink.
In her haste, a Welfare Point fell to the ground.
But how are these Welfare Points made anyway?
Mirna suddenly felt curious, but since she had to hurry to the plaza now, she set the question aside and walked quickly.

Main System Space.
"Efficient use and distribution of resources are important. So I turn the divine power that Chairman Park Sejun can't use into Welfare Points and use it instead. See? I'm working hard for the Chairman. What do you think? I'm doing well, right?!"
[System SJC] spoke proudly.
"You're doing well."
[System Eok-Samchiri] replied with a voice full of envy.
The ability to issue currency.
It was too enviable.
[System Eok-Samchiri] also issued Tower Coins as quest rewards, but the nature of it was slightly different.
Tower Coins had existed from the beginning. They were created by the ancient system [System Zero] and were still in use today.
So [System Eok-Samchiri] was very envious of [System SJC], who had created their own currency.
He also wanted to make his own currency, just like [System SJC].
"You just said I'm doing well, right? Hehehe. Then hand over the main system to me!"
Without understanding [System Eok-Samchiri]'s feelings, [System SJC], feeling proud from a bit of praise, asked [System Eok-Samchiri] to hand over the main system.
At that moment.
[Bayon of Red Tower's 87th floor has received 100 Tower Coins as principal and 5 Tower Coins as interest.]
[The debt relationship between Bayon and Mongo of Red Tower's 43rd floor has disappeared.]
System messages that caught [System Eok-Samchiri]'s attention.
[System Eok-Samchiri] quickly began analyzing those system messages.
Though he had created them, he hadn't consciously done so, so he had to pay attention to understand them, similar to how humans don't consciously breathe unless they focus.
A moment later.
This is it!
As expected, I'm a competent system!
[System Eok-Samchiri] came up with a brilliant idea and immediately put it into action.
[The bonds have a fixed interest rate of 1%. The denominations are 1 billion Tower Coins, 10 billion, 100 billion, 1 trillion, and 10 trillion Tower Coins in five types.]
As soon as the Sejun Company Bonds created by [System Eok-Samchiri] were issued,
[Charlie, Silver Tower's Legendary Merchant & Gambler, purchased three 1 trillion bonds of Sejun Company.]
…
..
.
They began selling like hotcakes.
Sejun Company, the only force known throughout all Nine Towers. Moreover, it was well known that both the Chairman and the Vice Chairman were close with the great dragons. As a result, its credit rating had surpassed AAA to reach SSS.
Even Sejun, who sucked up money like a black hole, would have no choice but to pay 1% interest on the issued bonds, meaning some of Sejun's wealth would be recirculated.
Of course, a bigger problem arose with more money being pulled into the Sejun Family.
But since bonds also functioned as a form of currency, there was no problem.
No matter how much Theo burned money, the bonds would remain.
The Sejun Company bonds would take the place of Tower Coins and revitalize the Tower's economy.
Hehehe. Two birds with one stone.
Thus, [System Eok-Samchiri] activated the Tower's economy through bond issuance while also satisfying its own greed.
In the meantime, Sejun Company bonds had sold over 10 trillion Tower Coins, and the interest Sejun had to pay surpassed 1 trillion Tower Coins.
The interest, growing steadily without Sejun even knowing.
As the amount ballooned,
If I tell Sejun-nim to pay this in a year, I'll be impeached for sure, right?
[System Eok-Samchiri] grew increasingly nervous.
And then.
Let's just get it from some other sucker!
It decided to collect the interest elsewhere.

<Earth>
"Teecher-nim, let's play!"
The kids, fully recharged with energy after a nap, began moving around.
"Teecher-nim, let's play hide and seek! We're really good at it!"
"Alright. Then Teacher will be the seeker, so go hide quickly."
"Hehe. Tongtong only follows Captain Taecho! Then I won't get caught."
"Yep! Captain Taecho!"
Sejun played hide and seek with the children.
A little while later.
"I found you, Taecho!"
When Sejun found Taecho first,
"Waaah. Daddy, I hate you!"
Taecho started bawling. Her authority as Captain Taecho had been trampled right in front of Tongtong.
"Huh?! Taecho, why are you crying?"
Sejun, who was about to search for the others with Taecho, panicked and quickly hugged her to calm her down.
At that moment.
Thud.
Something fell from the sky.
"It's the Piggy!"
"It's the yucky Piggy!"
"Let's punish the yucky Piggy!"
"Yeah!"
Excited children ran out and began hitting Uren.
Kkuik-!
Uren screamed as he was beaten by the children. As expected of the King of Misfortune Uren, it was a fitting entrance.
"Kids, hitting won't make it tasty."
At this rate, we're really going to end up butchering a pig.
Sejun hurriedly stopped the children.
"It won't?!"
"Nope. It won't."
"Okay."
At Sejun's words, the children coolly dispersed.
"Iona, please heal Uren."
"Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Yes. Power of magic. Heal this unfortunate young pig…"
Upon Sejun's request, Iona chanted a long incantation. It was a special spell just for Uren, who carried extreme misfortune.
104.28.193.250
While Uren was being healed,
"Piyot, did you fall again?"
Piyo! Piyo!
[Yes. But thankfully, the guardians fell with me this time!]
"Mohehehe. Hello, Sejun-nim."
Piyot, who had fallen along with Uren, spoke with Poyo.
"Baektang, don't move, meow!"
Kkaung…
Theo was closely monitoring Baektang while guarding Sejun's lap.
Kueng!
Nyongnyong!
Pbok pbok!
Jak jak!
The rest of the guardians, Cheongnyong, Heukbuk, and Jeokbi, were excitedly running around with Cuengi.
And then.
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Youngest! Long time no see!]
"I greet great Captain Blackie!"
Blackie exchanged greetings with Golt, one of the Four Heavenly Kings serving Ditto, the God of Ruin.
While the group chatted among themselves,
"Uhehehe. Hello. Is there anything to eat?"
Having finished his recovery, Uren looked around cheerfully for food.
"Wait just a little."
Sejun quickly began cooking. Although Uren's misfortune was the main reason for his injuries, Sejun still felt sorry that the children had beaten him.
"Uhehehe. Thank you for the meal!"
Just as Uren was about to eat the food Sejun had made,
[Quest: If you want to eat Chairman Park Sejun's cooking, please deposit a fair price of 10 million Tower Coins into [Eoksam Bank] account number 318-34-13.]
Reward: A pig with a conscience
A message appeared before him.
Uhehehe. Am I a pig with a conscience now?
True to his gullible nature, Uren happily fell for the phishing and transferred 10 million Tower Coins to [System Eok-Samchiri].
Hehehe. Excellent!
[System Eok-Samchiri] was delighted to have covered Sejun's interest through Uren.
