Chapter 269 – Pull Out Something Good

Dawn of the 359th day of being stranded.

Keu-eo-eo.

Go-ro-rong.

The bedroom where Se-jun and Theo’s snoring sounds resonated.

Chirp…

[I don’t understand…]

Ppiyot-i, who slept early and woke up early yesterday, was lost in thought looking at the soundly sleeping Se-jun.

As a result of his deep thinking, it didn’t seem that deboning fish flesh well made one number one.

Ugh… Chirp?

[Ugh… then by what do they determine the rank?]

Ppiyot-i had a headache from the difficult problem he couldn’t understand. So, to cool his head, he came outside and began to look around the farm.

Chirp! Chirp!

[Oh! The farm is huge!]

Ppiyot-i, who had no peace of mind yesterday and couldn’t look around the farm properly, admired as he saw the vast farm.

Flap, flap.

Ppiyot-i, who was looking around the farm while flapping his wings diligently like that.

Flap, flap.

Chirp!

[It’s refreshing!]

After looking around the entire farm, he soaked his body in the fountain and took a refreshing bath.

And,

Land.

Chirp!

[I am at the highest place here!]

When Ppiyot-i climbed on top of the head of the black dragon statue that was spouting water in the center of the fountain and was drying his feathers while looking down pleasantly at the surroundings,

-How dare you climb on top of my head…

The eyes of the black dragon statue shone and began to move.

Chirp?!

Flap, flap.

The surprised Ppiyot-i hurriedly flapped his wings and landed on the railing of the fountain.

Gooooo.

-What kind of fellow are you?

Kaiser asked, raising his aura.

Chir… Hiccup!

[I am… *hiccup*!]

Ppiyot-i, who was so shocked by Kaiser’s tremendous intimidation that he hiccuped.

-I asked what kind of fellow you are?! Will you not speak at once!

Kaiser scolded as he looked at the suspicious intruder. Is he by any chance an assassin targeting our Se-jun?!

Chir…

Ppiyot-i was even more frightened by Kaiser’s scolding.

Rumbling.

Kaiser raised his aura further. If he was indeed an assassin, Kaiser planned to erase him in a single stroke so that Se-jun wouldn’t be in danger.

Just like that, the intimidation grew even stronger.

Chir…

Ppiyot-i wanted to answer somehow, but his body froze in fear and his mouth wouldn’t open.

Then

“Lord Kaiser, calm down. That kid is Ppiyot-i, whom Theo brought.”

Se-jun, who had slept early and woken up early like Ppiyot-i thanks to Theo, hurriedly came out at the commotion outside and answered instead of Ppiyot-i.

-Huh?! Kuhahaha. If that fellow Theo brought him, you should have said so, why did you keep your mouth shut tight? I almost killed him.

Kaiser, who wore a slightly flustered expression at Se-jun’s appearance, laughed heartily and spoke.

Chirp?!!!!

Ppiyot-i was terrified of Kaiser, who spoke of such chilling things as if they were nothing. This place is scary!

Flap! Flap!

Ppiyot-i flew rapidly toward Se-jun. The only one who can protect me here is Lord Se-jun! He wasn’t ranked number one for nothing!

“Were you surprised?”

Se-jun asked in a warm voice while stretching out his hand to Ppiyot-i.

Chirp! Chirp!

[Yes! It was so scary!]

Ppiyot-i sat on Se-jun’s finger and replied while rubbing his head diligently.

And,

‘It was guts!’

Ppiyot-i realized the reason why Se-jun was ranked number one.

To think that he was weaker than himself, yet withstood such tremendous intimidation and conversed casually with such a scary being… it was impossible with ordinary guts.

It was Se-jun’s hidden talent, specialized in enduring aura after fainting from countless auras.

Of course, even so, withstanding the aura that Kaiser raised with intent was absolutely impossible with Se-jun’s ability.

-That fellow Theo, he has learned something strange again… it’s amazing the more I see it.

“Meow…”

When Se-jun was in danger, Theo had used his talent: Energy Drain while sleeping to absorb only Kaiser’s aura, which was why Se-jun could be comfortable.

‘I will also build guts like Lord Se-jun!’

Naturally, Ppiyot-i, unaware of that fact, looked at Se-jun with respectful eyes and began to make strange misunderstandings on his own again.

***

Christie’s Auction House, USA.

“So you’re saying this is an agricultural crop item brought out of the tower?”

“Yes!”

“And it’s none other than the crop of Tower Farmer Park Se-jun?”

“Yes!”

The people replying to the auctioneer’s questions were the hunters who received grapes as wages from the black skeleton on the 4th floor of the tower.

They had fled frantically toward the 4th floor waypoint of the tower and only checked the options of the grapes after arriving at the 1st floor of the tower.

And,

“Huh?! The cultivator of these grapes is Park Se-jun?!”

When the hunters confirmed the name ‘Tower Farmer Park Se-jun’ as the cultivator of the grapes,

“Oh my God!”

“We are rich now!”

They hugged each other and cheered. Right now, the popularity of Se-jun’s crops on Earth was tremendous.

Because they were too popular, most of Se-jun’s crops were sold at high prices at auction houses lately.

Of course, although the effect of the fragrant grapes full of life was ambiguous, this was a crop of Se-jun’s that had never been sold before.

Just because it was a crop grown by Se-jun, it had a high probability of being sold at a high price.

So they had come to Christie’s Auction House to sell the fragrant grapes full of life.

A few hours later

“Yes! One bunch of fragrant grapes full of life grown by Tower Farmer Park Se-jun has been knocked down for $100,000!”

The auction started, and they earned a total of 10 billion won.

Dividing that equally among ten people, it was 1 billion won per person.

Since the time they worked in the grape farm was approximately ten hours… they had done work worth as much as 100 million won per hour.

“Everyone listen well. For the time being, only we should know where we got the grapes. Got it?”

“Of course! Let’s keep it to ourselves!!!!”

“Good. Then let’s meet at the entrance of the tower in three hours.”

“Got it!”

When the ten novice hunters finished their talk to meet in three hours and go to the grape farm like that,

“To obtain Park Se-jun’s crops… we are rich now!”

“Shh! Be quiet! Someone might hear!”

Five hunters holding sacks identical to the ones they received from the black skeletons passed by them and entered the auction house.

The fragrant grape scent flowing from the sacks. It was the scent of the fragrant grapes full of life.

“We weren’t the only ones who worked there…”

The novice hunters were shocked. It was natural if they thought about it. Because they wouldn’t have been the only ones passing through there.

If other hunters who worked in the grape farm like this sold grapes, the grape price would inevitably gradually decrease.

“There is no rest! We go to the tower right now!”

“Got it!”

The hunters hurriedly ran toward the grape farm.

***

Click.

Se-jun opened the Golden Box of Abundance stored in the subdimensional warehouse, took out two black beans just like yesterday, and

Click.

Closed the box again.

“Now it’s four.”

Se-jun said while looking at the four black beans safely kept next to the Golden Box of Abundance. Tomorrow, there would be six black beans.

Clack.

Se-jun, who obtained the black beans, closed the door of the subdimensional warehouse and came outside.

And,

“Ppiyot-i, can you give me some Egg Fruit. Here are peanuts.”

Chirp! Chirp!

[Yes! Here it is!]

When Se-jun gave Ppiyot-i a handful of peanuts, Ppiyot-i gave him a hundred Egg Fruits.

“Is it okay to give this many?”

Chirp! Chirp!

[Yes! There are tons of them back home!]

Ppiyot-i said while spreading his wings as wide as possible. Even so, it was smaller than Se-jun’s span, so it was slightly ambiguous whether there were really many.

“Hehehe. That many?”

Still, Se-jun asked with a laugh, thinking it would be more than a hundred.

Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!

[Yes! Everyone dislikes Egg Fruit, so no one eats it except when going outside like this! A huge amount is thrown away!]

Ppiyot-i, delighted to obtain a lot of peanuts, chattered excitedly.

As Ppiyot-i said, the birds did not like Egg Fruit.

Yet, if the fruit grown on the Mother Tree was left as it was, it would rot and cause a severe stench, so Egg Fruit was a troublesome fruit for the birds to deal with.

“They throw this away?!”

Then it’s fine to bring all of them, right?

“Ppiyot-i, then bring a lot later. I will buy all of them.”

Chirp!

[Yes!]

“This is an advance payment.”

Se-jun made ten peanut pouches that could hold about a handful of peanuts and handed them to Ppiyot-i. It was fitted to the maximum expanded size of Ppiyot-i’s bag.

Chirp! Chirp!

[Thank you! I will bring all of them!]

Ppiyot-i, who filled his bag with peanuts, replied with joy.

“Okay. Then take a rest. Heh-heh-heh. I should eat rolled omelet for breakfast today.”

Holding the Egg Fruit, Se-jun headed to the kitchen humming.

Upon arriving at the kitchen,

Tap, tap.

Se-jun put the contents of fifty of the Egg Fruits into a bowl and poured water.

And,

Whisk, whisk, whisk.

He stirred diligently with chopsticks until the egg wash lost its viscosity. The egg wash turned into a pale yellow color as the yolk and white mixed.

In addition,

Chop, chop, chop.

He sliced green onions and carrots into it, and added salt to season.

Next,

Sizzle.

He poured the egg wash thinly enough to coat the preheated frying pan, and when the egg cooked to some extent, he began to roll the egg with chopsticks.

Sizzle.

Se-jun poured the egg wash again at the end of the rolled omelet, continuing to make the rolled omelet.

While Se-jun prepared breakfast in the kitchen like that,

Chirp! Chirp!

[I will build guts like Lord Se-jun to become Lord Theo’s right front paw! Then I will become the right front paw of Lord Se-jun’s right arm!]

Ppiyot-i imagined himself sitting on the right front paw of Theo, who clung to Se-jun’s right leg. Ppphhht. Cool.

And,

Peck! Peck!

He pecked the Red Dragon’s Full-Body Scale Armor that Se-jun had set up in front of the Creator God’s Tombstone with his beak and did special training.

Because a feeling similar to the intimidation he received earlier came from the Red Dragon’s Full-Body Scale Armor.

Then,

Kkueng?!

[Ppiyot-i, are you breaking Papa’s toy right now, kkueng?!]

Kkueng, who was walking lazily to find Se-jun, discovered Ppiyot-i attacking the Red Dragon’s Full-Body Scale Armor.

Chirp!

[No, I’m not!]

Ppiyot-i replied and stared at Kkueng, putting strength in his eyes. I will subdue someone like you with my gaze! I will show the result of my training!

But his ambition was too excessive from the start. Kkueng was Se-jun’s left arm. He had chosen too strong an opponent.

Kkueng!

[Ppiyot-i, your gaze was impure again just now, kkueng!]

Chirp?! Chirp!

[Me?! Absolutely not!]

When Kkueng, who was just a step away from becoming a ferocious beast because he was hungry, put a little strength in his eyes, Ppiyot-i was overwhelmed in an instant. He quickly withdrew the strength from his eyes.

And,

Sob… Chirp…

[Hing… it’s too scary here…]

He quickly flew to the kitchen where Se-jun was. Ppiyot-i was getting pushed around after acting up since morning.

After a while

“Guys, let’s eat breakfast!”

Se-jun called the animals,

“Here. Let’s eat one each.”

Se-jun distributed the rolled omelets to the animals one by one.

And,

Plump.

A particularly thick rolled omelet. It was a rolled omelet for Kkueng made with twenty Egg Fruits.

Kkueng!

[I will eat well, kkueng!]

As Kkueng picked up and ate a piece of the rolled omelet cut into ten pieces,

Yum.

Se-jun also quickly put a piece of rolled omelet in his mouth.

“Mmm. It’s delicious.”

Thanks to the diligent stirring, the rolled omelet crumbled softly like fluffy bread,

Munch, munch.

And the green onions and carrots were chewed, providing a good texture and sweetness.

Having eaten breakfast like that,

Kkueng!

[Kkueng will go look at the herbs, kkueng!]

As Kkueng left packing his lunch in his snack bag,

Slurp.

Se-jun had a brief, leisurely rest time while drinking morning coffee.

“Kheu. It’s bitter.”

Of course, the coffee taste was very bitter today too.

[You have ingested medicine with a bitter taste.]

[Talent: Good Medicine for Stamina Tastes Bitter is activated.]

[Stamina increases by 2.]

Being less bitter than yesterday was at least a consolation.

“Should I work hard today too!”

Just as Se-jun stood up after drinking coffee,

“Puhuhut. Ppiyot-i, do you want to become my right front paw, meow?”

Chirp! Chirp!

[Yes! I want to become Lord Theo’s right front paw!]

“To become my right front paw, you must work hard, meow!”

Chirp! Chirp!

[Yes! I will work hard! Just order me!]

“Puhuhut. Then follow me, meow!”

Chirp! Chirp!

[Yes! Let’s go!]

Flap, flap.

Ppiyot-i flew on Theo’s right while flapping his wings. Ppphhht. Because I am the next right front paw.

Chirp?

[But where are we going?]

“Puhuhut. We are going to the 75th floor of the tower, meow! Chairman Park, I will be back, meow!”

“Yeah. Pull out something good.”

“Puhuhut. Just trust me, meow!”

Theo greeted Se-jun and went to the 75th floor of the tower with Ppiyot-i to do the draw.
