YM778.TV Chapter 472: You're in big trouble.
Chapter 472: You\'re in big trouble.
“The power of destruction definitely fluctuated…”
“Was it temporary?”
“A dragon saw the Black Moon briefly grow larger and something escape from it. We need to keep a close watch for now.”
“Yeah. We can’t let our guard down.”
The leaders of the Nine Dragon Clans and all the dragons had gathered, preparing for battle.
Recently, when destruction had forcibly opened the Black Moon, and the power of destruction had intensified, prompting the dragons who sensed it to gather in haste.
And then—
“No?! Why does it have to be now of all times?!”“Exactly. Sejun is probably eating a bunch of delicious food without knowing how hard we’re working.”
“Of course. The Harvest Festival must be in full swing by now…”
“This makes me so angry! Graaah!”
The members of the Four Dragon Council, frustrated at missing the Harvest Festival, unleashed their angry breath attacks toward the red mist.
Then—
“The leaders have stepped up! Let’s shoot our breath, too!”
The other dragons also started firing their breath attacks.
Clang.
Thanks to them, a tremendous amount of Tower Coins was generated.
“Collect! I hope our Sejun leaves some for us too…”
“Collect! Our Sejun definitely would have left some for us.”
“Collect! Of course. Our Sejun is so loyal!”
“Collect! But I was the one who defeated that!”
“No, you weren’t!”
The members of the Four Dragon Council hurriedly gathered the Tower Coins, hoping Sejun would leave some of their food behind.
***
“Surely the rewards for the Grape Eating Competition won’t be the same? Guys, time to sleep.”
Sejun hoped the rewards for the next competition would be different as he prepared to go to bed.
However—
“Huh?”
Where did Blackie go?
Sejun finally realized his sling bag was empty.
“Blackie!”
Just as Sejun hurried to go find Blackie—
Kiki!
Kiki!
The Destruction Devourers came carrying the soundly sleeping Blackie.
Kkirorong.
Eomrorong.
Kkirurung.
Sharorong.
Jajorong.
Kyahorong.
“Who’s this now?”
Sejun’s eyes caught sight of a small crow sleeping next to Blackie.
A black bird, huh? Maybe I’ll call it ‘Kasae’? (TL: Kasae (까새) is a combination of 까만 (kaman) and 새 (sae), which mean ‘black’ and ‘bird,’ respectively.)
Seeing the new arrival, Sejun’s brain automatically started thinking of names. Sejun’s Naming Shop was about to start business unconsciously.
But—
“Haaah. No, I can’t. Let’s just sleep for now.”
I’m too sleepy…
Due to the accumulated fatigue of the ‘owner’, the Naming Shop closed early, and thanks to that, Halphas gained some time.
Not knowing that the current name was a relatively good option.
“Theo, Iona, good night.”
“Puhuhut. Good night to you too, Chairman Park, meow!”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Good night, Sejun-nim!”
Kuuuh.
As soon as Sejun lay down, he fell asleep.
Gororong.
Kyurorong.
Soon after, Theo and Iona also fell asleep.
In the quiet hours of the early morning, when everyone was asleep—
[Heheh… Now that I’m weakened, I can appear before Master…]
Flamie’s avatar staggered toward Sejun’s house.
Although her strength would gradually recover, the Blessing of Peace would reduce her attack power, allowing her to stay by Sejun’s side until the festival was over.
As Flamie’s avatar finally reached the front yard of Sejun’s house, struggling to get there—
[Um…Flamie-nim…]
Podori cautiously called out to Flamie.
[What is it?!]
Flamie’s voice spiked involuntarily due to the eagerness to hurry to Sejun.
[Well… Uncle, the God of the Grapevine… he…]
In response to Flamie’s sharp tone, Podori even more cautiously reported Uncle’s misdeeds(?) from earlier today.
And then—
[What?! Uncle gave Sejun-nim tasteless grapes as a reward?!]
Flamie exploded in fury upon hearing Podori’s report.
[Yes. What should we do about Uncle?]
Podori asked in a loyal voice, as if ready to do anything Flamie ordered.
Here, the only correct answer was ‘yes’. Saying ‘no’ could result in a few of Podori’s roots turning to ash.
[First, close Uncle Road for three days and inform Uncle. If the next competition reward disappoints Sejun-nim again, tell him that Uncle Road will be permanently closed and a World Tree Meeting will be convened.]
[What?! A World Tree Meeting?!]
How?
Without realizing, Podori reflexively questioned it.
The World Tree Meeting is a meeting where the roots of World Trees from all over the world gather to decide on an agenda by majority vote.
The more World Trees that attend the meeting, and the more World Trees that support the agenda, the stronger the enforcement power of that agenda becomes.
In the past, the World Tree Meeting once gathered 100 World Trees to strip a god of their divinity for committing evil acts.
The World Tree Meeting is capable of wielding such immense power, but there is one condition to hold a meeting.
At least 10 World Trees must attend the meeting for it to be held.
However, the only World Tree Podori knew was Sparkie from the 79th floor of the tower.
[Don’t worry about that. Sausage will soon become a World Tree, and I’ve also nurtured several others during this time.]
Flamie responded to Podori’s concerns.
Flamie had traveled to many worlds, searching for trees with the potential to grow into World Trees, giving them nutrients to help them mature into full-fledged World Trees.
Currently, 9 trees were on the verge of becoming World Trees, and about 30 more were under Flamie’s care, growing diligently.
You could say they were Flamie’s kids.
If a World Tree Meeting were to be held, the odds of Flamie’s agenda being passed unanimously would be 100%.
[Yes! Then I’ll go relay this to Uncle!]
As expected, Flamie-nim is meticulous.
Following Flamie’s orders, Podori hurriedly closed Uncle Road.
After giving Podori his instructions—
Hop. Hop.
Flamie hopped up the stairs, one step at a time.
Moments later—
[Hehe. I’ve arrived.]
Flamie arrived on Sejun’s bed.
[Hehe. Master, I missed you.]
Flamie carefully wrapped Sejun’s finger with two of her leaves and closed her eyes.

Seed Shop Headquarters
“Now, shall we start preparing for the Grape Eating Competition? Huhuap!”
Just as Uncle, the God of the Grapevine, was stretching his right arm and gearing up—
-Uncle-nim, Uncle Road will be closed for the next three days.
Podori delivered the news like a bolt from the blue.
“What?! Why?!”
-Sejun-nim was greatly disappointed with the competition reward.
“What?! Park Sejun received the reward?”
‘That can’t be… There’s no way Park Sejun was in the top 100!’
Uncle had checked five times just to make sure Sejun wasn’t on the list, so he was certain.
-Yes. All the prize winners gave their rewards to Sejun-nim.
“Ah.”
I see. So that’s what happened. Those folks knew too—investing in Park Sejun would pay off. Truly, Trust-in-Park!
As soon as Uncle heard Podori’s explanation, he immediately understood.
-And if the next competition’s reward is also unsatisfactory, Flamie-nim said she would permanently close Uncle Road and call for a World Tree Meeting.
“I got it! Tell her not to worry! I’ll prepare a reward for the next competition that will surely make Park Sejun happy!”
No, in fact, he had already prepared it. It’s just that Sejun didn’t rank high enough to receive it.
“Alright! I’m going to receive a monument from Park Sejun too!”
Uncle clenched his fist and resumed preparations for the competition.
***
The Next Morning
“Alright.”
[The seal of the Earth’s Jewel has been broken.]…
..
.
[Weed, the God of Weeds, teaches you the skill – Weed Pulling Lv. 1 to repay your kindness.]
As Sejun opened his eyes in the morning, a message appeared before him.
“Weed Pulling?”
[Weed Pulling Lv. 1]-There’s a slightly higher chance that the roots of weeds won’t break even if you pull them out carelessly.
“Hmm.”
Weed-nim gets 3.3 square meter…
There were no weeds on Sejun’s farm, so there was no need to pull weeds.
When Sejun decided the size of Weed Road—
[You have lifted the seals of five gods.][You have completed the quest conditions.]
[As a reward for completing the quest, you have obtained 5 drops of the Growth Elixir.]
As the quest was completed, a glass bottle appeared in Sejun’s hand.
“No, it’s the last one. So I should give 33 square meters.”
Finally, the seals on all 31 Gods trapped within the Earth’s Jewels that Theo had brought were lifted.
Sejun decided to make Weed Road large to finish on a high note.
At that moment—
“Huh?! Flamie?!”
Sejun noticed Flamie clinging tightly to his finger.
[Hehe. Sejun-nim, did you sleep well?]
“Yeah. Did you sleep well too, Flamie?”
[Yes!]
“Where have you been lately? I was worried.”
Sejun asked while petting Flamie.
[Farmer’s Warm Touch Lv. 8 is activated.][Your touch slightly heal the weakened #@$ %& Apple Tree Flamie.]
As Sejun’s skill activated, it began healing Flamie.
“Huh?! Flamie, are you sick?! Vice Chairman Theo, please heal our Flamie?!”
Seeing the unreadable symbols, Sejun assumed it was a serious illness.
“Puhuhut. Don’t worry, Chairman Park, meow! But can I use the treasures stored in the warehouse, meow?”
“Of course!”
“Puhuhut. Just leave it to me, meow!”
As Theo raised his paw to begin healing Flamie—
[No!]
Flamie hurriedly cried out.
If they tried to heal her, not only would it cost a lot of money, but Sejun would also be harmed.
So, she quickly stopped him.
“Huh? What do you mean, no?”
[Ah, no. I’m fine! Just Sejun-nim’s healing is enough for me!]
“Hehehe.”
See, my Flamie knows how to say such adorable things.
“Alright! Leave it to me! But if it hurts, tell me right away, okay?”
[Hehe. Yes!]
Pat pat.
As Flamie monopolized Sejun’s hand, basking in the gentle pats—
Kking!
[Butler! Good morning!]
“Did you sleep well?”
Kkiruk!
Sharalang!
“Good morning!”
Blackie and his underlings also woke up.
And then—
“······”
What’s this? Why are they greeting such a weak being first?
Halphas watched them silently.
Kking!
[Quick, greet my butler politely!]
Whack.
Of course, Halphas, who was trying to be defiant, got smacked on the back of the head by Blackie.
Caw…
Thus, Halphas awkwardly nodded his head and reluctantly greeted Sejun.
Kking!
[Butler! This is the new guy I exorcised! Quickly, give him a name!]
Blackie asked Sejun to name Halphas.
Thump thump.
Blackie and his underlings looked at Sejun with eyes full of anticipation.
A name that others would laugh at when they heard it!
A name so shameful that one would be embarrassed to say it themselves!
Of course, they all hoped for a name even weirder than their own to come out of Sejun’s mouth.
“Alright! Time to show my naming skills!”
And so, Sejun’s Naming Shop opened for business again.
Since it’s a black crow, Kaka. (TL: Kaka (까까 ) is a combination of 까만 (Kaman) which means black and 까마귀 (Kamagwi) which means crow.)
‘No.’
Let’s use a slightly more refined word today.
Since it’s a black crow, using the Chinese character for crow (烏), Kao. (TL: Kao (까오) is a combination of 까마귀 (Kamagwi), meaning ‘crow’, and 오 (o), which is the Hanja form of the Chinese character 烏, also meaning ‘crow’ or ‘black as crow’. This forms ‘Kao’ (까오).)
Since it’s a black bird (鳥), Kajo. (TL: TL: Kajo (까조) is a combination of 까만 (Kaman), meaning ‘black’, and 조 (jo), which is the Hanja form of the Chinese character 鳥, which means ‘bird’. This forms ‘Kajo ‘ (까조).)
Unlike last night, Sejun, feeling more energetic than the night before, upgraded the naming level by using Chinese characters.
However—
“Kao, Kajo…”
Even after saying them aloud, none of them felt quite right.
Just then—
Piyo!
[Good morning, Sejun-nim!]
“Sejun-nim, hello!”
Piyot and Uren approached Sejun to greet him.
‘Oh, right, Piyot’s full name was Pirururur Yotra, wasn’t it? So, how about “Karurur”?!’
Huh?!
“Karurur.”
Sejun quietly said it aloud.
Oh! This is it!!!
It felt good, rolled smoothly off the tongue, and was satisfying to say.
“From now on, you’re Karurur.”
When Sejun named Halphas “Karurur”—
As expected, butler is a genius!
104.28.193.250
Sejun-nim’s naming skills are truly unparalleled.
Phew. I’m so glad it wasn’t me.
Now I’m no longer embarrassed by my name.
I’m glad I came early.
Blackie and his underlings trembled with joy.
The new name, Karurur, perfectly met their expectations—a name that others would laugh at upon hearing and one that would be embarrassing to say out loud.
Thus, Karurur received his new name.
Caw?!
(How dare you name me Karurur?!)
Naturally, he rebelled and started causing a ruckus.
At that moment—
Kueng!
[Dad, good morning!]
Cuengi entered just then.
Caw! Caw!
Kueng! Kueng!
[Quiet down! Cuengi is angry because Cuengi is hungry!]
Cuengi, who was in a bad mood due to hunger, tried to grab Karurur and quiet him down.
Hmph! Do you think you can ignore me just because I look weak?! Let me tell you, the physical body isn’t everything!
Thunk!
Karurur headbutted Cuengi in an attempt to put him in his place, and they both lost consciousness.
Kkihihit. Kking.
[Hehehe. Karurur, you’re in big trouble.]
Blackie watched the scene and laughed slyly.
One second later.
Caaaw!
Karurur woke up screaming in terror.
