Chapter 294 – This Lap is Yours for a Month

Seed Shop headquarters.

“Lord Chaos! Park Se-jun, an Extraordinary grade member, has visited the Seed Shop for the 10th time.”

“Really?! Then quickly display the congratulatory message and inspect the Elixir Shop items to make sure there are no issues!”

Chaos was excited by the report of his subordinate who was managing the Seed Shop.

The Elixir Shop was the only channel through which the sealed gods could sell the elixirs they made to obtain Tower Coins.

Therefore, the gods were diligently making elixirs while waiting for their items to be sold in the Elixir Shop.

It was because they needed Tower Coins to restore their lost divinity.

And unlike the normal Elixir Shop, the Extraordinary Elixir Shop, which was accessible from the Extraordinary grade, could sell much more expensive elixirs.

Thanks to that, the gods at the Seed Shop headquarters became busy for the first time in a while.

A moment later,

“Yes!”

“Hooray!”

the three gods whose elixirs were selected in the Elixir Shop’s random draw cheered, and

“Buy mine!”

“No! Buy mine!”

“Uh-huh! Mine is the best!”

the gods prayed for their elixirs to be sold.

***

When Se-jun looked at the shop window to check out the seeds,

[Congratulations on Park Se-jun’s 10th visit to the Seed Shop!^0^!]

The items for sale were not visible, and such a strange message was shown.

“Was it already the 10th time?”

Se-jun, with a calm expression,

Pressed.

pressed the message, and

[The Elixir Shop for the 10th transaction customer opens.]

[The Extraordinary Elixir Shop opens to match Park Se-jun’s grade, Extraordinary.]

[Three types of elixirs to be sold are displayed at random.]

[The Elixir Shop has no purchase limit.]

an additional message appeared.

“Elixir Shop?”

As Se-jun was wondering,

[Elixir of Reinforcement 3 drops – 150 billion Tower Coins]

[Elixir of Mutation 1 drop – 300 billion Tower Coins]

[Elixir of Harvest 10 drops – 700 billion Tower Coins]

The elixirs became visible to Se-jun. Every single one of the prices was enormous.

“Why is it so expensive? Though it’s a relief that I have the money to buy it.”

Fortunately, Se-jun, who had the money to buy one of the Elixir of Reinforcement and the Elixir of Mutation, was relieved.

Se-jun’s current total assets were 300 billion Tower Coins. It was the money earned by selling six black beans to the dragons twice.

Se-jun originally intended to buy a authority with this money, but Aileen stopped him.

It was because he had not been long since he obtained the powerful authority, .

Granting a new authority in his current state was too dangerous for Se-jun, who was a sunfish.

“It would be nice if I could see the contents…”

Se-jun hesitated to buy the elixirs because it cost a fortune.

At that moment,

“Oh?!”

as if someone were listening, the descriptions of the elixirs suddenly appeared.

“That’s a relief.”

Relieved that he could see the descriptions of the elixirs before spending money, Se-jun began to carefully examine the elixirs.

[Elixir of Reinforcement]

If you sprinkle the Elixir of Reinforcement on crop seeds, you can obtain a seed with one of the crop’s properties reinforced.

Duplicate usage is possible up to two times.

Remaining Quantity: 3 drops

Usage Restriction: Tower Farmer

Creator: Hamer, the God of Farming

Grade: SS+

[Elixir of Mutation]

If you sprinkle the Elixir of Mutation on crops, a modification occurs in the crops, and you can obtain a new variety.

Since it can be dangerous, it is recommended to use it in a place where safety is guaranteed.

Remaining Quantity: 1 drop

Usage Restriction: Tower Farmer

Creator: Chaos, the God of Chaos

Grade: SS+

[Elixir of Harvest]

If you sprinkle a drop of the Elixir of Harvest on seeds or crops, they grow to a harvestable state within a few hours.

If you reuse the Elixir of Harvest on the same crop within 10 days, the crop’s vitality will be depleted, and it will die. (However, for crops that do not bear fruit even after using the Elixir of Harvest, it is okay to use it until they are harvested.)

Remaining Quantity: 10 drops

Usage Restriction: Tower Farmer

Creator: Rhea, the Goddess of Abundance

Grade: S+

“It is worthy of the high price.”

Although the performance of the elixirs would have to be verified by using them directly, Se-jun was somewhat convinced of the high price by the fact that they were elixirs made by gods.

And,

[You have purchased 3 drops of the Elixir of Reinforcement.]

[A total of 150 billion Tower Coins will be withdrawn from Park Se-jun’s Seed Bank account.]

After hesitating, Se-jun bought the Elixir of Reinforcement.

The Elixir of Mutation was not that appealing.

There was already one new variety secured before his eyes, and he thought a new variety would come out eventually as he harvested.

“The Elixir of Harvest is what I need most, but it’s a pity…”

Se-jun looked regretfully at the Elixir of Harvest in the shop window.

The sticky corn planted a few days ago, the Lightspot seed Theo gave him a little while ago,

and because he could quickly secure many seeds if he used the Elixir of Harvest on the seeds obtained by using it on the Dae-bong persimmon seeds he would harvest soon.

‘And also to grow our Flamie.’

[Hehe.]

While Se-jun felt regretful looking at Flamie who was enjoying looking at the sun,

“Puhuhuhut. Puhuhut.”

Theo began to laugh looking at Se-jun. It was time for this body to step forward, meow!

“What is it? Why are you laughing, Vice Chairman Theo?”

Se-jun’s mood soured slightly at Theo’s laughter.

At that moment,

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, do you need money, meow?! I have money, meow!”

Clatter.

Theo poured money purses out of his bundle.

“Huh?! How much is all of this? Vice Chairman Theo, did you rob a bank or something?”

Se-jun counted the money Theo took out and asked in shock.

The amount inside the money purses was almost 1 trillion Tower Coins. It was an amount that could not be explained unless he had robbed a bank.

“I didn’t, meow! I earned it, meow!”

To be precise, it was money earned by selling Se-jun’s party invitations.

“Vice Chairman Theo earned all of this money?!”

“Puhuhut. That’s right, meow! So Chairman Park, keep trusting only me in the future, meow!”

Although Theo became high and mighty again,

“Yes. I will keep trusting only Vice Chairman Theo in the future.”

Se-jun was obedient this time without playing tricks.

“Vice Chairman Theo, this lap is yours for a month.”

Rather, he gave his lap to Theo.

‘Puhuhut. Really, meow?!’

“Yes.”

“Chairman Park, I am touched, meow!”

Snuggle.

At Se-jun’s words, Theo, who was finally able to monopolize Se-jun’s lap, hugged Se-jun’s lap tightly and was deeply moved.

And,

“Hehehe. Purchase.”

[You have purchased 1 drop of the Elixir of Mutation.]

[A total of 300 billion Tower Coins will be withdrawn from Park Se-jun’s Seed Bank account.]

[You have purchased 10 drops of the Elixir of Harvest.]

[A total of 700 billion Tower Coins will be withdrawn from Park Se-jun’s Seed Bank account.]

In the meantime, Se-jun purchased all of the Elixir of Mutation and the Elixir of Harvest with the money Theo earned from selling the invitations.

***

The 66th floor of the tower.

“This is the invitation to participate in the Great Black Dragon’s party?”

“Yes. So I made a lot of them so that everyone of our tribe could participate.”

At the question of ‘Great Fang’, the ruler of the Red Orcs, the subordinate ‘Skilled Hands’ replied while showing the huge amount of counterfeit invitations he made.

The Black Dragon tattoo was elaborately drawn just like Theo’s paw print. It was identical enough that no one would doubt it.

“Perfect.”

Great Fang said with a satisfied expression as he compared the original invitation with the counterfeit invitation.

“Choahahaha. With this, all of our tribe can participate in the Great Black Dragon-nim’s party.”

“Yes. That is so. Ah. Right, Skilled Hands.”

Suddenly, a good idea occurred to Great Fang, and he spoke as he looked at Skilled Hands.

“Yes, Lord Great Fang.”

“Make more counterfeit invitations.”

“Yes?! But I already made all the invitations for the Red Orcs to use?”

“I know. It’s not for us to use.”

“Then?”

“We shall hand out invitations to everyone who wants to participate in the Great Black Dragon’s party and spread the generosity of our Red Orcs to the Black Tower. Choahahaha.”

“Oh! That’s a great idea!”

The Red Orcs had no concept of what they were doing being a crime.

Like that, counterfeit invitations stamped with Theo’s paw print spread throughout the Black Tower.

Thanks to that, the number of participants coming to the 99th floor of the tower carrying invitations stamped with Theo’s paw print suddenly exploded.

And,

Moo?

[Did Vice Chairman Theo invite this many to the party?]

Moo. Moo.

[Indeed, this is a bit strange. Let’s report to the Bull Demon King.]

By the time Woo Chil-baek and Woo Pal-baek felt something was strange, it was already too late.

Thud! Thud!

Moo! Moo!

[You fellows! I told you to guard the entrance, what is this?!]

Looking at the bustling 99th floor of the tower, the Bull Demon King rushed over.

***

Pluck.

When Se-jun, having finished the Seed Shop transaction, harvested the Dae-bong persimmon,

[You have harvested the Dae-bong Persimmon of Accuracy.]

[Your job experience increases slightly.]

[The proficiency of Harvesting Lv. 8 increases slightly.]

[You have acquired 70 experience points.]

[You have achieved the achievement of birthing a new variety inside the tower.]

…

..

.

[All stats increase by 10 due to your job characteristic.]

messages appeared one after another.

“Hehehe. Shall I check the effect?”

Se-jun smiled and examined the Dae-bong Persimmon of Accuracy.

[Dae-bong Persimmon of Accuracy]

A persimmon grown inside the tower, sufficiently nutritious, soft, and sweet.

Upon consumption, accuracy when attacking enemies increases greatly for 5 minutes.

Over time, the exterior gradually turns soft.

Grower: Tower Farmer Park Se-jun

Expiration Date: 150 days

Grade: A

“Oh! It increases accuracy?”

Se-jun read the description and put the Dae-bong Persimmon of Accuracy into the subdimensional warehouse.

He planned to return to the farm later and use the Elixir of Harvest along with other seeds.

At that moment,

Kkueng!

[Dad, I picked all the persimmons, da-yo!]

Cuengi put all the persimmons into the subdimensional warehouse, approached, and spoke.

“Yes. Good job.”

Se-jun quickly held Cuengi in his arms, fearing that Cuengi might cling to his leg and fight with Theo.

And,

“Toryong-i.”

he called Toryong-i and returned to the waypoint with the animals.

The next place to go was the tangerine tree farm on the 85th floor of the tower.

He skipped the peach farm on the 55th floor and the banana farm on the 77th floor since the rabbits and monkeys would bring them.

***

The 4th floor of the tower.

Clatter. Clatter.

A Black Skeleton squatted down and brought his hand close to a shyly growing grape sprout, and

Hum.

Creak.

emitting a green light, the grape sprout grew rapidly and became a grape tree in an instant.

“As expected of the Farming King!”

The hunters who were working part-time murmured while watching the Black Skeleton.

The hunters called the Black Skeleton, who grew grape sprouts into grape trees in an instant, the Farming King.

Plop.

Having used his ability, the Farming King suddenly knelt down and took a praying stance.

If he prayed in this state for several days, he would gain the strength to grow another grape sprout into a grape tree.

The Farming King did not know what his name was, how he could grow crops, or why he had to pray to recover his strength.

He was only acting in accordance with the memories imprinted on his soul.

—O God…

While he was praying diligently today as well, calling a god whose name he couldn’t even remember, and filling his strength,

—My child. Do you hear my voice?

A voice spoke to the Farming King’s soul.

‘Yes. I hear you. But who is the one speaking to me?’

—I am the one who governs abundance. Rhea, the Goddess of Abundance.

‘Ah… Lady Rhea…’

The Farming King remembered the name of the god to whom he offered prayers.

And,

—You must help a person named Park Se-jun earn a lot of Tower Coins with both your heart and soul. Do you understand?

‘Yes!’

He received the oracle of Rhea, the Goddess of Abundance.

‘What must I do to earn a lot of Tower Coins?’

Having received the oracle, the Farming King contemplated.

Thump.

He set up a signpost at the entrance of the grape farm.

[Grapes are sold at a high price.]
