Chapter 215 – Becoming an A-Grade Tower Farmer

Flamie, who was stretching her roots in all directions in the Sea of Dimensions to find deep-sea monsters and the Apostles of Destruction as usual.

[Heehit. Found it!]

Flamie, glad to have found prey, crushed the enemy to death with her roots.

[Hiyah! It is an Apostle of Destruction! Heehit. I obtained 5 coins!]

Having defeated the Apostle of Destruction, Flamie rejoiced while gathering the coins dropped by the Apostle of Destruction. However, there was one problem.

[How do I give these coins to Master?]

Flamie began to ponder how to deliver the coins to Se-jun. For Flamie, delivering the coins without letting Se-jun discover her size was much harder than catching the Apostles of Destruction.

At that moment,

[Huh?! Master?!]

Flamie felt Se-jun’s gaze looking at her roots.

[Heeing. To show my roots to Master, I am embarrassed!]

Flamie, who wanted to show only her cute side to Se-jun, hurriedly moved her roots on the 98th floor of the tower. However, since she had already taken root, she needed time to pull her roots out.

[Ah, right! I can throw the coins toward where Master is right now!]

Thinking it was an opportunity to deliver the coins to Se-jun, Flamie threw the coins toward where Se-jun was while moving her roots. The coins fell from the sky.

Although it was extremely random,

[Good! That was very natural!]

Flamie was highly satisfied.

***

‘Why is Big Sister Flamie here-da-yo?!’

Cuengi, who had been opening his mouth to receive a melon from Se-jun, was flustered as he saw Flamie’s roots stretching through the sky.

Although each floor was completely separated dimensionally, intuitively thinking, if roots took hold in the sky of the 98th floor of the tower, one would think the roots came down from the 99th floor of the tower.

Thinking like that, anyone could see that those were Flamie’s roots.

‘Does Big Sister Flamie have a brain or not-da-yo?! How am I supposed to hide this from Dad-da-yo?!’

While Cuengi was flustered like that,

“Huh?! What is that?”

Se-jun also discovered Flamie’s roots. It looked as if small offshoot roots branched off from a giant root and were grasping the sky.

“Why are tree roots in a place like that? Vice Chairman Theo, do you know what that is?”

Fortunately, Se-jun did not associate the roots in the sky with Flamie.

“Meow?!”

Theo, who looked up at the sky late at Se-jun’s words.

‘Why is the second child here, meow?’

Theo was also greatly flustered upon seeing Flamie. However, as the eldest, Theo wanted to protect the second child’s secret.

“Chairman Park! Th-that is floating in the sky…”

Thus, just as he was trying hard to make up an excuse to escape this situation,

Creak. Creak.

Clink.

As Flamie’s roots moved, coins fell near Se-jun.

‘Second child, what are you trying to do, meow?!’

Theo shouted toward Flamie in his heart. “A root suddenly throwing coins from the sky. This looks too suspicious, meow!”

“Huh?! These are coins, right?”

Se-jun picked up the coins Flamie had thrown.

“But why is it spitting this out?”

As expected by Theo, Se-jun found it strange. However, his focus was slightly off. Although Flamie had thrown them, Se-jun thought they had been spat out.

And,

“Ah! That is like a carnivorous plant that eats bugs?!”

Se-jun misunderstood Flamie’s roots as a carnivorous plant. Flamie unexpectedly went from an apple tree to a carnivorous plant.

“It ate the Apostle of Destruction, and since these coins are indigestible, it spat them out.”

“Th-that is it, meow! That is what I was trying to say, meow!”

As Se-jun misunderstood on his own, Theo hurriedly agreed that Se-jun’s thought was correct, and

Kkueng!

[Dad, Cuengi wants to eat more of this-da-yo!]

Cuengi opened his mouth and demanded more melons continuously, preventing Se-jun from paying attention to Flamie’s roots any longer. Thanks to that, Se-jun focused only on picking melons.

While Se-jun was harvesting melons diligently for several hours like that,

[You have been recognized as the rightful owner of the land deed for the melon trees on the 98th floor of the tower.]

[The land deed’s skill: Farm Information Lv. Max is activated.]

He was recognized as the owner of the land deed,

“Farm Information.”

And checked the activated Farm Information.

[Farm Information Lv. Max]

Size: 5,000 pyeong

Crops: 130 Melon Trees

Workers: 1 (Owner of the land)

Special Notes: None

The farm was very ordinary.

While Se-jun was checking the farm information,

“Puhuhut. As expected, Chairman Park is easy to fool, meow!”

Kkueng!

[It is because Cuengi drew his attention-da-yo!]

Theo and Cuengi each thought it was their own credit that Flamie’s size had not been discovered.

“Let’s head back now.”

Se-jun, having finished harvesting melons, called Theo and Cuengi.

“Understood, meow!”

Kkueng!

[Understood-da-yo!]

As Se-jun arrived at the waypoint of the 98th floor of the tower with the two like that,

[98th Floor Boss of the Tower: Black Eagle Redin]

A giant 5-meter-sized black eagle-man was visible.

“We… Welcome! Lord Se-jun!”

Redin, who had received thorough mental education from the Bull Demon King, was about to stop Se-jun but quickly bowed his head 90 degrees in greeting upon seeing the black dragon tattoo on Se-jun’s left arm.

“Yeah. Glad to meet you.”

[The waypoint of the 98th floor of the tower has been saved.]

[Loading saved waypoints of other floors.]

[Saved Waypoints of Other Floors (6)]

-99th Floor of the Tower

-85th Floor of the Tower

-83rd Floor of the Tower

…

..

.

Thanks to that, Se-jun registered the waypoint comfortably and returned to the 99th floor of the tower.

***

The 23rd floor of the Blue Tower.

“Hehehe. Found it.”

A man with green scales all over his body said as he stepped onto the giant land floating in the sky.

And,

Tap. Tap.

As if it were natural, the man walked through the wasteland, heading toward the center of the land.

How long had he walked? A pure white building was visible in the distance. It was the place where Emila’s flowerbed, which Se-jun had seen before, was located.

As the man approached the flowerbed,

Crumble.

The crops around the man turned into ash, and the land began to change into a wasteland. The area of the flowerbed decreased bit by bit.

When the area of the flowerbed was reduced to half like that,

“Is this as far as it goes?”

With the man’s words, Emila’s flowerbed expelled the man and moved to another location.

***

Kkueng! Kkueng!

[It is home-da-yo! Cuengi will go check on the medicinal herbs-da-yo!]

As soon as they arrived at the farm on the 99th floor of the tower, Cuengi ran toward the west forest, saying he would check on the medicinal herbs.

And,

“Shall we take a nap?”

“Good, meow! Before that, I will eat Churu and sleep, meow!”

“Alright.”

Se-jun headed home with Theo to take a nap.

At that moment,

[An urgent job quest occurs.]

[Quest: Emila’s flowerbed has sustained heavy damage and needs recovery. Within today, create one new variety to recover the flowerbed with the power of creation!]

Reward: A large amount of job experience

Suddenly, a quest appeared.

“Huh?!”

To make a new variety within today? Although it was too sudden, he coveted the large amount of job experience gained as a reward. For Se-jun, whose Tower Farmer grade was at a standstill at B, it was a highly attractive proposal.

“Chairman Park, why is that, meow? Don’t tell me?! Are you out of Churu, meow?!”

As Se-jun stopped, Theo, feeling something strange, asked.

“No. It is not that, but a quest suddenly appeared, so I do not think I can sleep.”

“It is fine, meow! Because Chairman Park has two hands, meow!”

In other words, Theo did not care about Se-jun’s circumstances and was set on eating Churu fed by Se-jun and sleeping.

Slash.

[You have harvested 6 Cherry Tomatoes of Mana.]

[Your job experience increases slightly.]

[The proficiency of Harvesting Lv. 7 increases slightly.]

[Due to the cold effect infused in the Sickle of Freshness, the shelf life of the harvested crop increases by 5 days.]

[You have acquired 300 experience points.]

“Here.”

Chwap. Chwap. Chwap.

Inevitably, Se-jun cut the cherry tomato branches with the Sickle of Freshness held in his right hand while feeding Churu to Theo with his left hand.

After a while,

Purr.

Theo, having eaten the Churu deliciously, clung to Se-jun’s lap and fell asleep in utter comfort, while Se-jun continued harvesting, hoping for a new variety to appear.

“There are no more cherry tomatoes to harvest now. I should go to the sweet potato field.”

Se-jun, having harvested all the cherry tomatoes, moved to the sweet potato field.

And,

“Shifting Earth!”

He harvested sweet potatoes using Myler’s hoe.

[You have harvested 500 Sweet Potatoes of Strength.]

[Your job experience increases slightly.]

[The proficiency of Harvesting Lv. 7 increases slightly.]

[You have acquired 25,000 experience points.]

“Here is done, too.”

Se-jun finished harvesting the sweet potato field and quickly continued harvesting crops in the order of the potato field, carrot field, peanut field, and green onion field.

When there was about an hour left before the day changed like that,

“I won’t be able to complete the quest.”

Se-jun, who had harvested nearly several hundred thousand crops, was about to give up on the quest. Even if he wanted to do more, there were no more crops left to harvest on the farm.

At that moment,

Squeak!

The Father Rabbit called Se-jun and pointed at the radish field. There, five radishes that had not been pulled after seed harvesting remained.

“Oh! There were still radishes left?”

Se-jun hurriedly ran to the radish field and

Pluck.

Pulled a radish.

[You have harvested a Radish of Stamina.]

…

..

.

The first radish was a miss.

Pluck.

Pluck.

The second and third radishes were also misses. Now, only two radishes remained.

“Vice Chairman Theo, which one should I pull first?!”

Se-jun, who had become cautious, asked Theo.

“Meow…”

At Se-jun’s question, Theo brought his front paw to the radishes to feel if there was an attraction.

However,

“Chairman Park, there is no attraction, meow!”

Theo did not feel any attraction.

“Alright.”

Since Se-jun had not expected much either, he was about to pull the left radish.

At that moment,

“But strangely, my whiskers are drawn to this radish, meow!”

Theo said, looking at the right radish toward which his whiskers were pointing.

“Really?”

Se-jun, believing Theo’s words just in case,

Pluck.

Pulled the right radish.

[You have obtained a Radish of Strong Lower Body.]

[Your job experience increases slightly.]

[The proficiency of Harvesting Lv. 7 increases slightly.]

[You have acquired 50 experience points.]

“Huh?! Radish of Strong Lower Body?”

[You have achieved the accomplishment of creating a new variety in the tower.]

[Your exclusive cultivation right for the new variety is recognized in the tower.]

[The Radish of Strong Lower Body cannot be cultivated without your permission.]

[Your job experience increases significantly.]

[Due to your job characteristic, all stats increase by 10 each.]

A message appeared stating that the new variety Se-jun had been waiting for had been created.

“Vice Chairman Theo, well done!”

“Puhuhut. I knew everything would turn out well, meow! Chairman Park, always trust only me in the future, meow!”

At Se-jun’s praise, Theo claimed credit diligently in order to brag.

‘Puhuhut. I helped Chairman Park again today, meow!’

Theo, feeling proud that he had helped Se-jun, rubbed his face against Se-jun’s lap to his heart’s content.

While Se-jun was accepting Theo’s bragging like that,

[You have created a new variety within the time limit.]

[You have acquired a large amount of job experience as a quest completion reward.]

The quest completion message appeared.

[Your job experience increases significantly.]

[Your job experience is full.]

[The grade of Tower Farmer (B) rises.]

[You have become a Tower Farmer (A).]

[The job grade rises and job characteristics are strengthened.]

Finally, Se-jun became an A-grade Tower Farmer.

“Nice!”

Just as Se-jun was reading and re-reading the message that his grade had risen with a proud expression,

Flash.

A golden light exploded from Se-jun’s straw hat.

And,

[Relic: The straw hat of Patrick, the Saint of the Earth, confirms the wearer’s job grade increase.]

[Tower Farmer (A) has been confirmed.]

[Relic: The restrictions on the straw hat of Patrick, the Saint of the Earth, are completely released.]

The straw hat of Patrick, the Saint of the Earth, revealed its true form.
