Chapter 314 – How Can I Resist Flour

“Summon Ajax.”

Se-jun, who had punished Theo, summoned Ajax.

[Summoning Ajax Mamuve, the White Tower Farmer of the White Tower.]

Ten seconds after the message appeared,

“Hyung Se-jun!”

The summoned Ajax pattered toward Se-jun’s leg. I missed you!

However,

Press.

“Hey! What is this?!”

This time, there was an obstacle named Theo on Se-jun’s leg.

“No, meow!”

Theo stretched out his two front paws to block Ajax’s face from approaching. For 27 days, Chairman Park’s knees are mine, meow!

“Move!”

Ajax applied force to approach Se-jun’s leg, pushing away Theo’s front paws, and

“Nyaang!”

Theo pushed Ajax’s face with his two front paws with all his might.

“Uap!”

“Meow!”

The two faced off, using their strength.

Wobble.

“Huh?!”

Thanks to that, only Se-jun, who had been staying still, was gradually pushed backward and almost fell, but

Cueng!

[Dad, you’ll fall like that!]

Fortunately, Cuengi caught Se-jun.

“Thank you, Cuengi.”

Se-jun expressed his thanks to Cuengi and,

Grab.

picking up Ajax with both hands,

“Ajax, did you have a good trip?”

Hug.

he comforted him by hugging him.

As for the knees, since he had given Theo the monopoly right for 30 days, Se-jun could not do anything about it either.

‘I shouldn’t give monopoly rights anymore.’

Se-jun resolved that no matter what commendable thing Theo did from now on, he would not allow Theo to monopolize his knees.

“Hyung, what about the soy sauce Tteokbokki?!”

Ajax asked, looking at Se-jun with an expression full of expectation.

“Yeah. It’s all done. I’ll bring it.”

Se-jun placed the pot in the middle of the table, and

“Here. Let’s eat.”

At Se-jun’s words, Cuengi and Ajax began to eat the soy sauce Tteokbokki.

Cueng!

[It’s delicious!]

“It’s delicious!”

Cuengi and Ajax cheered at the taste of the soy sauce Tteokbokki. Since it was a combination of sweet and salty, it was a flavor that could not be bad.

“Vice President Theo, do you want to try this?”

To spread the taste of the soy sauce Tteokbokki widely, Se-jun stabbed a rice cake with his chopsticks and held it out to Theo, and

“Meow! Put away that tasteless thing, meow!”

Theo snapped his head away. As expected, Theo, who had a firm preference, did not eat it.

“Alright. Let’s eat Churu.”

“Puhuhut. Good, meow!”

Chwapchwapchwap.

Se-jun began to eat the soy sauce Tteokbokki while feeding Churu to Theo.

While they were all eating lunch together like that,

Kking?!

‘Are you guys the only ones eating?!’

Kkingcha. Kkingcha.

Fenrir, who was forgotten while sleeping on the bed today as well, crossed the threshold of the kitchen.

And,

Toddle. Toddle.

Chuck.

Fenrir walked diligently and sat in front of Se-jun.

Stare.

He stared at the soy sauce Tteokbokki Se-jun was eating. Give me that too!

“Ah. I forgot about Blacky… Blacky, sorry.”

Se-jun apologized to Blacky and picked up a rice cake to cut it finely. Because it wouldn’t do if it got stuck in Blacky’s throat while eating.

“Here. Blacky, let’s eat too.”

Se-jun, who cut the rice cake like that, gave the finely cut rice cake pieces one by one to Blacky.

Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.

Fenrir ate the rice cakes greedily as if he were hungry.

“Blacky, eat slowly.”

Se-jun said as he gave the rice cakes to Fenrir.

But,

Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.

Kking?! Kking?!

‘What is this?! Is it magic?!’

Fenrir, experiencing sweet and salty for the first time in his life, could not stop eating.

Thanks to that, Fenrir ate a lot of rice cakes, and

Kking!

‘Strength is rising!’

He grew 5cm. His belly circumference, that is.

Kking…

‘I can’t move…’

Thanks to that, Fenrir’s belly became bloated and he could not even move.

Having eaten two 5cm Garaetteok, it was only natural that his stomach would hurt.

“Did I give too much?”

Of course, there was also the fault of Se-jun, who kept giving them because he ate them.

At that moment,

“Chairman Park, don’t worry, meow!”

Theo said, coming down from Se-jun’s knees. Puhuhut. Is it time for me to step forward?

However,

“Vice President Theo, no. Stay still.”

Chuck.

Se-jun caught Theo, who was trying to knead the overeaten Fenrir’s belly, and placed him back on his knees.

If he pressed the overeaten belly, it might come back out…

“Blacky, come here.”

Instead, Se-jun placed Blacky on the table and,

Stroke, stroke.

gently stroked his belly so that he could digest well.

When Se-jun stroked Fenrir’s belly for about 30 minutes like that,

Burp.

Fenrir burped refreshingly. At the same time, Fenrir’s body grew 1.5 times larger.

The things he had eaten until now digested, and his body grew in size to match the power he possessed.

Keerorong.

Having finished growing, Fenrir could not resist fatigue and fell asleep.

“What? Does Blacky also grow stronger just by eating?”

Se-jun thought he should prevent Fenrir from overeating in the future. I can’t lose my comrade!

While Se-jun was having such thoughts,

Gororong.

Kkurorong.

Arorong.

Ppirorong.

Theo napped on Se-jun’s knees, Cuengi and Ajax napped on the left and right of Se-jun’s waist, and Ppiyot-i napped on Se-jun’s straw hat.

Pop. Pop.

[You have obtained a Corn of Stamina Seed.]

[Your class experience increases slightly.]

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

[You must use the Seed Harvesting skill 718,716 more times to complete the class quest.]

…

..

.

Se-jun harvested corn seeds without getting up so as not to disturb the nap time.

But,

Pop. Pop.

when they showed no sign of waking up even after an hour passed,

“Guys, let’s wake up.”

Se-jun woke up Theo, Cuengi, Ajax, and Ppiyot-i.

“Nyaang…”

Cueng…

“Uaaaa…”

Ppiyot…

The four woke up, stretching widely.

At that moment,

“Puhuhut. I, Vice President Theo, have something to give to Chairman Park, meow!”

Theo, who woke up from sleep, said in a boastful voice.

“Ah. Right! Did you bring the land deed for the 70th floor of the tower?”

“Puhuhut. Of course, meow!”

Rummage, rummage.

Theo rummaged through his bundle and took out the land deed for the 70th floor of the tower.

“Oh. Good job, Vice President Theo.”

Se-jun praised Theo as he gripped the land deed for the 70th floor of the Black Tower in his hand.

“Puhuhut. I know, meow! Chairman Park, since I did well, let me have Chairman Park’s knees for one more month, meow!”

At Se-jun’s praise, Theo asked to extend the knee monopoly right as if he had been waiting.

However,

“No.”

Se-jun rejected Theo’s proposal because he had decided not to give monopoly rights in the future.

“Meow?! Then I will give you this too, so please extend it for a month, meow!”

Rummage, rummage.

Theo rummaged through his bundle again, took out the land deed for the 81st floor of the tower, and proposed again.

“You did well… but still, no.”

It was not enough to break Se-jun’s resolve.

However,

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park has no choice but to accept anyway, meow!”

Even after being rejected twice, Theo was high-spirited as if he had something to rely on.

And,

“Chairman Park, can you still reject it even after seeing this, meow?!”

Clatter.

Theo turned his bundle upside down and poured out the items he had plundered from the Black Market.

They were an immense amount of items. The quantity was so vast that a separate warehouse to store them was needed.

“Wow! I acknowledge this. Knee monopoly right extended for one month!”

Se-jun said, holding back his desire to extend the duration even longer.

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, look at this first, meow!”

When the deal was finished, Theo began to pick up and hand over the items he was drawn to to Se-jun.

Care was taken for the taste as well, making it delicious.

Every single one of them was a good item. There were so many that inspecting them one by one was also a chore.

While Se-jun was inspecting the items like that,

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, drink this first, meow!”

Theo offered the green juice.

“Sure.”

Since it tasted good, there was no reason not to drink it.

Gulp. Gulp.

“Oh! It’s delicious!”

Se-jun, who drank the green juice, let out an exclamation. It tasted like plum syrup.

And,

[You have consumed Power Green Juice.]

[Strength increases by 30.]

the message appeared.

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, wear this too, meow!”

Theo slyly tried to slide the ring onto Se-jun’s finger.

“Nope. I won’t wear it.”

Chuck.

Se-jun folded his fingers and made a fist.

“Meow?! Why won’t you wear it, meow! I, Vice President Theo, already wore it, meow!”

Theo showed the Ring of Obsession worn on his toe.

“That’s why I’m not wearing it.”

“Meow?! Let’s wear it together, meow!”

“Absolutely not.”

If Iona sees it later… I should give this to Iona.

“Cuengi, keep this.”

Cueng!

[Understood!]

Se-jun put the Ring of Obsession into Cuengi’s snack pouch so that Theo could not take it out.

The snack pouch was safe because Cuengi did not allow anyone other than Se-jun to open it.

Se-jun kept the ring in a safe place like that.

“Earth Movement.”

He built a warehouse to put the items in using Myler’s Hoe, and

“Guys, please put these items over there.”

They moved the items poured out by Theo to the warehouse together. He decided to check the remaining items later.

Cueng!

[Floating!]

“Levitation.”

Thanks to Cuengi’s telekinesis and Ajax’s magic, moving the items was completed within a few trips back and forth by Se-jun.

At that moment,

Clatter.

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I have more to give you, meow! So give me five more months of knees, meow!”

Theo shouted as he poured out Pansur’s smuggled goods.

And,

“…Deal!”

Just as Theo was certain, Se-jun had no choice but to accept Theo’s proposal.

‘How can I resist flour?!’

Moreover, even dairy products like milk, cheese, and butter. This was a proposal Se-jun could absolutely not refuse.

Like that, a mutually satisfying transaction was made, with Se-jun obtaining flour and Theo obtaining Se-jun’s knees.

“What should I make first?”

Thanks to that, Se-jun fell into contemplation over what dish to make first with flour.

Since too many things he wanted to eat came to mind, it was not easy to decide.

While Se-jun was in contemplation like that,

“L… Lord Se-jun, by any chance, is there any food left?”

Veronica, with a exhausted voice, entered the kitchen.

This was because she had gone to Tier and had eaten nothing while taking care of the Ents under Flamie’s instructions.

“Ah. There’s nothing left. Just wait a moment.”

At Veronica’s words, Se-jun decided on the dish to make with flour. I should make hotcakes.

Se-jun mixed flour, milk, honey, a pinch of salt, and a melted lump of butter to make a thick hotcake batter, and

Sizzle.

poured the batter onto a heated frying pan to begin baking the hotcakes.

And,

Cueng!

[Floating!]

“Levitation.”

In the meantime, Cuengi and Ajax put the flour and other food ingredients into the sub-space warehouse.

At that moment,

“Huh?! It’s a book?”

Ajax found a book placed in the sub-space warehouse. I don’t think this belongs to Hyung Se-jun?

The Se-jun Ajax had observed did not suit books at all.

Chuck.

Whose book is it? As Ajax picked up the book to inspect what kind of book it was,

Hum.

a white light emitted from the book, and

Flutter.

[The Illustrated Plant Guide of an Experienced Farmer has contacted the White Tower Farmer of the White Tower.]

[Crops of the White Tower are added to the Illustrated Plant Guide of an Experienced Farmer.]

[50 writeable pages are added.]

[Some content on the pages is modified.]

The pages of the book turned rapidly, and messages appeared.

“Huh?!”

What is this? While Ajax was flustered at the unexpected situation,

Cueng!

[That’s Dad’s book!]

Cuengi looked suspiciously at Ajax, who was holding the Illustrated Plant Guide. Are you stealing Dad’s book?

“Cuengi, no.”

Ajax explained the situation to Cuengi.

“Then I made Hyung Se-jun’s book even better?”

At the same time, he realized that he had done something helpful for Se-jun.

“Hyung Se-jun!”

Ajax flew to Se-jun holding the Illustrated Plant Guide with a broad smile.
