Chapter 223 – Who Is It!!!
“When am I going to move all of this?”
Se-jun spoke while looking at the remaining 60,000 bottles of Samyangju after completing the quest. This alcohol was to be used at the Black Rabbit’s wedding, so it had to be packed neatly into the subdimensional warehouse.
If it were just heavy, he could ask Cuengi and Pink Fur, but the glass bottles were fragile, so they couldn’t move many at once.
Therefore, because he had to move them little by little with the animals, it seemed like it would take a lot of time.
At that moment,
-It looks delicious.
-I wish I could drink just one bottle properly…
When Se-jun saw the two dragons looking greedily at the Samyangju, a good idea occurred to him.
“Excuse me, Lord Kaiser, Lord Kellion, could you help me out? I’ll give you ten bottles of Samyangju each in return.”
Se-jun used the Samyangju as bait to ask the two dragons to move the 60,000 bottles of Samyangju into the subdimensional warehouse. Since the number of bottles broken during transit would probably be more than twenty, this was a cheaper, faster, and safer way to move them.
-Alright! What is so hard about that? Move.
-Yes. Always ask if there is anything difficult. Move.
The two dragons readily granted Se-jun’s request. Thanks to them, all 60,000 bottles of Samyangju could be safely put into the subdimensional warehouse in just a few minutes.
“Lord Kaiser, Lord Kellion, thank you for helping. Here is the alcohol.”
-Kahahahaha. Between us, this is nothing…
-Indeed. Kuhuhu. Then, we will leave.
Receiving Se-jun’s gratitude and ten bottles of Samyangju each, the two dragons hurriedly flew toward the fountain. It was to drink the Samyangju.
But they could not drink the alcohol at their leisure.
***
The Black Dragon’s domain.
“What?! A new tower has appeared?! The Creator God made no mention of the 10th tower…”
Kaiser was surprised by Anton’s sudden report.
“Yes. Furthermore, a gray tower appeared from beneath the Ruin located in the middle of all the towers.”
“Hmm… A gray dragon… Was there a dragon clan we didn’t know about?”
Kaiser, naturally thinking that the color of the tower represented the color of the dragon clan managing it, spoke.
“Or perhaps a new dragon clan is being born? It could be a hidden arrangement of the Creator God.”
“That could be. First, we must investigate the tower.”
“Because of that, Silver Dragon Chrisella, the head of the Hithlon family and the host of the next meeting, proposed to bring the meeting forward.”
“To when?”
“Right now.”
“Grunt…”
Kaiser frowned at Anton’s words.
‘I don’t have time to drink the Samyangju I got from Se-jun before leaving…’
“Understood. I will set off right now, so make sure the young black dragons do not act rashly.”
“Yes!”
“Polymorph cancellation.”
Leaving the management of the black dragons to Anton, Kaiser returned to his true form, spread his majestic wings, and flew toward the Silver Dragon’s domain.
***
Rub, rub, rub.
Se-jun, who was resting after eating lunch, vigorously rubbed his palms together and then brought them close to Theo.
Then,
Bzz, bzz.
Theo’s fur stood up toward Se-jun’s palms.
“Hehehe. How is it? My magic hand?”
When Se-jun played around with Theo’s fur,
“Don’t do that, meow… Just… stroke me here, meow…”
Theo, who was dozing face down on Se-jun’s lap, rolled over with a languid voice and showed his belly.
“Tch. Alright.”
Se-jun was disappointed by Theo’s flat reaction.
Stroke, stroke.
As Se-jun stroked Theo’s pink belly,
Zzz.
Purr.
They fell asleep together.
After taking a nap like that,
“Heave-ho!”
Se-jun, who got up energetically, began his afternoon work. The afternoon work was transplanting the Poison-laden Potatoes to the western forest. Se-jun had discovered kudzu trying to bear fruit in the western forest yesterday.
Therefore, before the kudzu could take root in the ground, he intended to contaminate the ground with poison using the Poison-laden Potatoes to prevent the kudzu from spreading to other places.
And if he planted Detoxifying Green Onions around it, he could completely confine and grow the kudzu. Because of this plan, Se-jun had given permission when Cuengi said he would grow the kudzu.
Thus, Se-jun moved to the Detoxifying Green Onion field where the Poison-laden Potatoes were planted.
“Uh?! Why is the color of this like this?”
Se-jun spoke while looking at the Detoxifying Green Onions planted around the Poison-laden Potatoes. Unlike the other Detoxifying Green Onions, the five green onions surrounding the Poison-laden Potatoes were completely white, even to their leaves.
Pluck.
Se-jun pulled out one of the pure white green onions.
[You have harvested a Potent Detoxifying Green Onion.]
[Job experience points increase slightly.]
[The proficiency of Harvesting Lv. 7 increases slightly.]
[You have obtained 50 experience points.]
“Potent Detoxifying Green Onion?”
Perhaps because its detoxifying ability had strengthened while fighting the poison, ‘Potent’ was attached to its name.
“Let’s see.”
Se-jun checked the harvested green onion.
[Potent Detoxifying Green Onion]
[A green onion grown inside the tower that has absorbed sufficient nutrients. Because it has continuously fought poison while growing, its detoxifying ability is stronger than a regular Detoxifying Green Onion.]
[Upon consumption, detoxifies poisons of Grade A or lower for 1 hour.]
[Upon consumption, liver function for detoxification becomes active for 48 hours.]
[Upon long-term consumption, the talent: Thousand Poisons Immunity can be awakened.]
[Grower: Tower Farmer Park Se-jun]
[Expiration Date: 150 days]
[Grade: B+]
“Oh! I can obtain Thousand Poisons Immunity if I eat it long-term?!”
Munch, munch.
Se-jun immediately ate a whole Potent Detoxifying Green Onion. The taste was not much different from a regular green onion.
Pluck, pluck.
After eating the enhanced Detoxifying Green Onion like that, Se-jun packed the remaining Potent Detoxifying Green Onions,
Dig.
And carefully dug up the Poison-laden Potatoes and transplanted them into pots he had prepared.
When he had finished transplanting all the Poison-laden Potatoes, which had been cut into four pieces, into pots like that,
[Land Deed of the 23rd Floor of the Green Tower]
“Uh?! It’s a land deed for the Green Tower?!”
Se-jun discovered a land deed fallen on the ground of the green onion field. It was Brachio, who had sent the land deed again without giving up. This time, a magic spell was cast on it to automatically unfold the land deed if someone was within a one-meter radius.
But
“Aileen, there is a land deed for the Green Tower here.”
Se-jun, who knew his life was as fragile as a sunfish’s, knew his place and did not go anywhere near the land deed, immediately telling on it to Aileen.
[The tower administrator said she would handle the Green Tower’s land deed, so do not worry.]
Since the tower administrator knew she could not move through land deeds, Aileen spoke with absolute confidence.
“Right. Then, I leave it to you. Toryong-i.”
Se-jun handed over the Green Tower’s land deed to Aileen and called Toryong-i.
Rumble.
-Master, did you call?
At Se-jun’s call, Toryong-i quietly poked his head out.
“Yes. Give me a ride to the western forest.”
Se-jun climbed onto Toryong-i’s head while holding the pots against his chest.
-Yes! I will escort you comfortably!
Rumble!
Toryong-i moved to the western forest, carrying Se-jun on his head.
***
The 78th floor of the Green Tower.
“Eek! Why do I have to do this?! Move quickly!”
A giant green dragon grumbled as she rescued animals on the verge of destruction. It was Ophelia, the tower farmer of the Green Tower, who had been deployed in place of Brachio, who suddenly had to attend the meeting.
“Good. All done.”
When the animals entered the protective barrier created by Ophelia,
Roar!
Ophelia shot her breath toward the kudzu chasing the animals, completely blowing away the 78th floor of the tower.
Kaboom!
An excellent herb field that Cuengi would have loved if he had seen it vanished.
***
“Cuengi!”
When Se-jun, who arrived at the western forest riding Toryong-i, called Cuengi,
“Kkuep? Kkuep?”
[Dad, what is the matter-da-yo? Why did you come-da-yo?]
Cuengi, who was eating the bitter kudzu root just in time, asked with a deep frown.
“I’m here to plant this.”
Se-jun got down from Toryong-i’s head, showing the pots he was holding in his arms.
And,
Dig.
He dug the ground and planted the four pieces of the Poison-laden Potatoes one by one in the cardinal directions around the spot where the Corrupted Ents had fallen.
“Still, just in case, I should test if it works.”
Se-jun plucked one of the surrounding kudzu fruits and planted it near the Poison-laden Potatoes.
Then,
[You have planted kudzu in a land filled with poison.]
[The kudzu has withered due to contamination by the poison.]
The kudzu fruit shriveled up rapidly. It was just as he had thought.
“Good.”
Se-jun, rejoicing after confirming that the kudzu could not multiply, picked up Myler’s Hoe.
And,
Dig.
[You have planted 1,020 Detoxifying Green Onion seeds in the ground filled with mana.]
[Job experience points increase slightly.]
[Because the Detoxifying Green Onion seeds hear the footsteps of the farmer, the effect of Mana Sowing Lv. 7 is enhanced.]
[Due to the effect of Mana Sowing Lv. 7, the growth speed of the Detoxifying Green Onion seeds accelerates by two times for 24 hours.]
[The proficiency of Mana Sowing Lv. 7 increases slightly.]
He began to plant Detoxifying Green Onions at a slight distance. It was to prevent the poison in the ground from spreading to the surroundings.
While he was planting the Detoxifying Green Onions as if surrounding the area like that,
…
..
.
[The proficiency of Mana Sowing Lv. 7 has been filled, and its level increases.]
The level of the Mana Sowing skill rose.
“Finished.”
When Se-jun returned after planting all the Detoxifying Green Onions,
Kkueng! Kkueng!
[Dad, here are the kudzu roots-da-yo! You must be hungry from working, so please eat quickly-da-yo!]
Cuengi, who had dug up kudzu roots while Se-jun was planting the Detoxifying Green Onions, handed ten blue kudzu roots to Se-jun.
“Thank you. Cuengi, you eat some honey jelly too.”
Se-jun, feeling sorry to eat alone, handed the honey jelly to Cuengi.
“Kkueng!”
[Thank you, Dad-da-yo!]
Cuengi was grateful, holding the honey jelly given by Se-jun.
“Come here. Let’s sit side by side and eat together.”
Se-jun picked up Cuengi, who was not coming close perhaps because of the scolding yesterday, and set him down next to his hip.
“Here, eat quickly.”
Pat, pat.
When Se-jun patted Cuengi’s butt,
Kkueng…
[Cuengi is happy-da-yo…]
Cuengi sobbed. He was moved by Se-jun’s attitude of treating him well without change, even though he had done wrong. Dad! I will fulfill my filial duty even more diligently in the future-da-yo! Cuengi awakened as a son with even deeper filial piety.
However,
‘Is he crying because he can’t eat the honey-tasting kudzu roots? Still, a promise must be kept…’
Se-jun fell into thought, thinking that Cuengi was crying because he could not eat the honey-tasting kudzu roots.
Munch, munch.
Lost in thought, Se-jun chewed the honey-tasting kudzu root, and because he was worrying, he could not even taste the kudzu root properly but still raised all stat potentials by 50.
***
The next morning.
“Heave-ho!”
When Se-jun got up and came outside,
“Uh?!”
A bunch of grapes was hanging from the grapevine. Se-jun hurriedly ran to the grapevine and picked the bunch of grapes.
[You have harvested 32 Seedless Grapes for Beginners.]
[Job experience points increase slightly.]
[The proficiency of Harvesting Lv. 7 increases slightly.]
[You have obtained 1,600 experience points.]
Although he picked only one bunch of grapes, it was displayed on the message that he harvested 32 grapes.
“Oh! Grapes!”
Se-jun took a deep breath of the grape aroma, held one grape, and examined it.
[Seedless Grapes for Beginners]
[These are seedless grapes improved to make a beginner’s body sturdy.]
[Every time you eat one grape, all stats increase by 1.]
[Grower: Tower Farmer Park Se-jun]
[Expiration Date: 150 days]
[Grade: A]
A very simple explanation.
“Hehehe. Shall I taste it first?”
Se-jun put the fragrant grape to his mouth, pressed the grape skin, and sucked in only the flesh.
And,
[You have consumed a Seedless Grape for Beginners.]
[All stats increase by 1.]
The stats rose as explained.
However,
“Uegh! Who is it?!!!”
Se-jun, who tasted the grape, frowned and grew angry. It was not the grape taste Se-jun had expected.
“Who improved grapes in this way?!”
The grapes were incredibly astringent.
