Chapter 30: Welcome to the Kindergarten of Destruction! (30) / 754 |

<Ken>
(Baehehe. The fruit grilled by Sejun-nim is also delicious!)
As night deepened, Paespaes woke up and played excitedly with the group while eating the tangerines grilled by Sejun.
A moment later.
“Let’s get going now.”
Sejun spoke to the group, who were busily grilling and eating food, and began packing up.
At that moment
[A quest has occurred.]
Reward: Peace in <Ken>, <Ken> integrated as a satellite world of <Earth>
A message appeared before Sejun.
“Huh?”
What? I thought they hadn’t caused any trouble since they were quiet, but they already did?
“Sotteok and Huljeok, how about telling me what you did before we met?”
When Sejun asked,
“Sotteok dug in the ground and played! Came out the other side about 100 times?”
“Huljeok wanted to see the moon up close, so I called the moon to come close! See that moon over there?! I called it. It’s big and cool, right? Hehehe.”
Sotteok and Huljeok said proudly.
As expected of the Children of Destruction…
One dug through <Ken> to the point of splitting it, and the other crashed the moon into <Ken>.
“Cuengi and Iona, put the moon back where it was.”
Kueng!
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Yes.”
Cuengi and Iona flew toward the moon crashing into <Ken>
“Let’s fill the tunnel!”
“Puhuhut. Got it meow!”
(Pip-pip. Yes!)
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. Butler! Just trust great Blackie! Great Blackie digs ground well!]
“Daddy, Taecho can dig well too!”
Sejun and the rest of the group quickly filled the tunnel with Sotteok guiding the path.
“Hahaha. Time to show the power of a transcendent Rock Mage! Rock bombardment!”
Sejun used rock magic to rain stones from the sky and filled the hole
“Puhuhut. Even so, you’re still only the great hybrid Chairman Park, meow! Meow meow meow! Meow meow meow!”
(Pip-pip! Paesspin! Paesspin!)
Theo and Paespaes collapsed the surrounding earth to fill the hole.
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Great Blackie’s secret move! Hiding extremely-delicious roasted and dried sweet potatoes!]
Blackie dug the ground with his short front paws in a dog’s characteristic form
“Taecho’s secret move too!”
Taecho followed Blackie’s lead, laying down and pushing the dug-up soil between her legs with both hands to fill the hole.
“This is fun!”
“Let’s do it too!”
Sotteok and Huljeok also dug into the dirt, following Blackie and Taecho to fill the hole.
As the holes made by Sotteok were filled one by one,
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Dad, Cuengi is back!]
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Theo-nim, I’m back.”
Cuengi and Iona, having returned the moon to its place, came back
Kueng!
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Mini-mini meteor!”
and helped with the work. Thanks to them, the hole-filling progressed faster.
A short while later.
All the holes were filled and
[You have found and resolved all the causes of the increasing damage rate in <Ken> and completed the quest.][As a reward for completing the quest, peace has come to <Ken>.]
[As a reward for completing the quest, <Ken> should be integrated as a satellite world of Earth, but a world of the same level cannot be integrated as a satellite.]
The quest was completed.
“Eok-Samchiri, are you kidding me?”
Giving something we can’t even use?!
Vice Chairman Theo, fix it.
As the furious Sejun tried to hand the system connector to Theo
[Sejun-nim, wait a moment! If you return to the Kindergarten of Destruction and complete the quest, the level of <Earth> will rise! Then you’ll be able to integrate <Ken> as a satellite world!][System Eok-Samchiri] spoke urgently. If Theo grabbed the system connector, he’d have to prepare for at least a thousand years of impeachment. [System Eok-Samchiri] was terribly afraid because when it came to Sejun, Theo showed absolutely no mercy.
“Is that how it was? Ahem. Then you should have said so earlier.”
[I just wanted to create a dramatic moment…]And so, the impeachment of [System Eok-Samchiri] was put on hold
[Tch! That was my chance.][System SJC], who was watching in anticipation nearby, was disappointed.
“Let’s go home now.”
Having cleared up the misunderstanding with [System Eok-Samchiri], Sejun returned to Earth with the group.
***
<Earth>
Clank.
As Sejun opened the front door and entered the Kindergarten of Destruction,
104.28.193.250
[You have safely brought back the two [Children of Creation Tainted by Destruction] who were left behind in <Ken>.][You have completed the quest.]
[As a reward for completing the quest, the storage capacity of [Brilliant Darkness Earrings] has increased by 10%.]
[As a reward for completing the quest, the evolution experience of <Earth (Lv. 3)> has increased by 10%.]
Reward messages appeared.
And then,
[<Earth>’s evolution experience has been completely filled.][<Earth> will now begin its evolution into a Level 4 world.]
[<Earth>’s evolution will be completed in 3 hours.]
The evolution of Earth had begun.
Hehehe. Nice. Once the evolution is complete, will we have one more satellite world?
After checking the messages, Sejun quietly walked and gently laid the sleeping Sotteok and Huljeok from his arms into the children’s bedroom,
“Let’s sleep now too. Paespaes, we’re going to bed.”
(Pip-pip. Yes. Good night.)
He entered the bedroom and exchanged goodnight with Paespaes.
Then,
“Flamie, I’m back.”
[Hehe. You’re back?]
“Yeah.”
After patting the leaf of Flamie, who was waiting by the head of the bed, Sejun lay down.
Kurr.
Gororong.
Kyurorong.
Hwarorong.
Kurorong.
Kkirorong.
Sejun and his companions fell asleep as soon as they lay down, snoring away. Taecho, using Sejun’s arm as a pillow, also slept peacefully while breathing softly.
It would be nice if the day ended like this, but in Blackie’s mouth was [World’s Energy].
***
Blackie’s mental world.
“”Everyone, I’m sorry. Will you forgive Taecho?”
“I’m sorry.”
“Sorry.”
While Taecho and the Blackie Family were asking the souls for forgiveness,
“Guys, please eat this and forgive my kids.”
Sejun was trying to soothe the souls with delicious food.
“Puhuhut. This is the grilled fish you might have only heard of in rumors – grilled by the great hybrid Chairman Park, the dish where even if two eat, five might die from joy, meow!”
Theo also eagerly promoted and handed out grilled fish to the souls.
That’s just false advertising.
While Sejun watched that, wondering if he should stop Theo,
“It’s delicious!”
“Really delicious!”
The souls who tasted the grilled fish got excited. Whether it was due to Theo’s soul-filled exaggeration or not, the reaction was stronger than when they had eaten grilled fish before.
“Puhuhut. This is grilled fish that, even if two eat, seven would die from it, meow!”
Seeing that, Theo made an even more exaggerated claim.
However,
“Eh. Not as good as I heard.”
“Let’s try something else.”
The souls’ reaction became worse than before. Seems like seven was overkill.
“Meow? Then it’s six, meow!”
Theo reduced the number and promoted it as grilled fish that, even if two eat, six would die from it, but
“He’s lying.”
“Let’s not go.”
The grilled fish, which had already caused a negative buzz among the souls due to one misstep and negative public opinion, no longer drew any interest from them.
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. The stir-fried peanuts are good too…”
Because of that, even Iona’s stir-fried peanuts, who was with Theo, stopped selling.
“At this point, there’s only one solution, meow!”
The ultimate move that unites everyone!
“Haak! Giant Chairman Park No. 5, you dare insult the great hybrid Chairman Park, meow!”
Theo shouted at Giant Chairman Park No. 5, who had been giving the souls a ride on the slide.
Upon hearing Theo’s shout, Giant Chairman Park No. 5 responded,
“Huh?!”
How did he know?
I said it really quietly…
“Did he hear me?”
Startled, he jumped up and fled.
And then,
“What? Someone insulted me?!”
Kueng! Kueng!
[Giant Chairman Park No. 5! Stop right there! If I catch you, you’re in trouble!]
“Grrrr. You dare insult Butler?! Stop right there!”
“You insulted daddy, so Taecho is an-gry!”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. You still haven’t come to your senses.”
Sejun and his companions began chasing after Giant Chairman Park No. 5.
“You insulted Sejun-nim?!”
“He’s a kind person who gave us lots of food!”
“Unforgivable!”
Even the souls got angry and chased after Giant Chairman Park No. 5.
“Stop right there!”
Kueng!
[Stop right there!]
“Stop right there!”
And so, before anyone realized, everyone had become united in spirit, chasing after Giant Chairman Park No. 5.
“Puhuhut.”
As expected, this is the best, meow!
Theo beamed brightly.
A short while later.
With nowhere left to run, Giant Chairman Park No. 5 was surrounded by everyone.
“I was wrong!”
He got mobbed.
Once the mobbing was over,
“I forgive you.”
“I forgive you.”
The souls lingering in the [World’s Energy] forgave Taecho and the Blackie Family with relieved expressions.
“Sleep well, everyone.”
Sejun and his companions were finally able to truly end the day.
***
“Alight.”
After about two hours of deep sleep, Sejun woke up.
[<Earth> has completed its evolution and become a Level 4 world.][All physical abilities of Level 4 residents have increased by 20%, and potential has increased by fivefold.]
[Due to the level-up of your home world, Black Tower’s Tower Farmer Park Sejun’s total stats increased by 10%, and potential increased by 15%.]
The evolution of Earth was complete.
Starting from Level 4 worlds, potential increases not by tenfold but by fivefold.
For reference, potential increase diminishes as a world levels up: unless under special circumstances, Level 4 to 6 worlds increase by fivefold, and Level 7 to 9 worlds increase by threefold.
[<Ken> has been integrated as a satellite world of Earth.][<Earth> has acquired a Level 3 satellite world. All stats of beings residing in <Earth> have increased by +30.]
[System Eok-Samchiri], who had been waiting for Sejun to wake up, integrated <Ken> as Earth’s satellite world and delivered the message.
Hehehe. Very good.
Sejun smiled gently, rubbed his eyes, and got up.
“Meow….”
[Hehe…]
Kueng…
Kking…
“Hihihi….”
He took care of his companions.
The start of a new day.
“What should we eat for breakfast?”
Even though Earth’s level had gone up, nothing felt particularly different from the day before.
***
Black Tower, 1st floor.
“This time for sure, we’re taking over the Tower’s 1st floor market!”
“Yeah! We’re no longer Level 3 world hunters, we’re Level 4 world hunters now, so there’s nothing to fear!”
“Bring it on, Black Bear runt!”
As Earth rose to Level 4, hunters once again challenged Kueng Faction’s black bears.
And then,
“Hmph. To challenge us again after being beaten so badly before, you’re more persistent than I thought. I like it.”
Black Bear No. 999 stepped forward to face the hunters.
A moment later.
Thwack thwack thwack!
Once again today, the hunters were thoroughly defeated by Black Bear No. 999. But despite the thorough beating, their expressions were bright.
“Well, at least it wasn’t a 10-minute knockout this time, it took 20 minutes.”
“Hehehe. So we’ve doubled in strength? Let’s aim for 40 minutes next time!”
“Yeah.”
Because they had lasted longer than before.
However,
“Humans were stronger than expected, so it took longer than I thought. That’s odd. I did adjust my strength to match Earth’s level…”
The reason the hunters lasted longer was because Black Bear No. 999 didn’t account for the stat boost from the newly acquired satellite world.
“I suppose I’ll need to increase my strength by about 0.02% next time.”
Just as Black Bear No. 999 finished calculating the adjustment needed,
“You bastards! This time for sure, we’ll take the 1st floor market of the Tower!”
“Let’s fight!”
Another group of hunters charged toward Kueng Faction’s black bears. The hunters challenging Kueng Faction weren’t few.
Since the black bears would beat them half to death but not kill them, every time Earth leveled up, hunters came to challenge them as if it were a title match, and recently their numbers had only grown.
Bang!
“Bring it on!”
This time with 0.02% more power, Black Bear No. 999 charged toward the hunters.
Thwack thwack thwack!
“Ugh!”
“Someone save-!”
“Hel-”
Even though Earth had leveled up, the internal situation in the Tower remained unchanged from the day before.
And so, the Kindergarten of Destruction, the Black Tower, and Level 4 Earth remained peaceful as ever today.
