Chapter 348 – Here Comes the Yong-Yong Market VIP

Blue Tower Administrator area.

“Pfhew. There is no way…”

Kin Aster, the leader of the Great Blue Dragons, let out a deep sigh. No matter how much he thought about it, there was no way to calm the moisture energy of the Blue Tower.

Especially with the interference of the Apostles of Destruction on top of that…

“Is that the only way in the end?”

Having made a decision, Kin flapped his giant wings, soared into the air, and flew toward the habitat of the Red Dragons.

After a while.

“Ramta, give me a few Essences of Fire.”

Having arrived at the Red Dragons’ habitat, Kin demanded the Essence of Fire from Ramta.

“Essence of Fire? What are you going to use the Essence of Fire for?”

“I plan to use it in the Blue Tower.”

Kin planned to explode the Essence of Fire to calm the moisture energy of the Blue Tower.

“What?! Are you crazy?!”

Ramta was greatly shocked by Kin’s words.

Moisture energy and fire energy are opposites. If the two energies collide, the surroundings are devastated.

If lucky, one floor, and if severe, several floors could be annihilated. A floor would become empty in the middle.

“I know it is a crazy method, but there is no choice to save the rest. By the way, what is that?”

Kin asked as he looked at the Fire Beans Ramta held.

“Ah. This?”

…What should I do?

Ramta fell into thought. According to the rules originally set by the Four Dragons Council, information about the crops Se-jun cultivated should not be shared with other dragons.

However, once the Yong-Yong Market became active in the future, it was a fact that all dragons would learn anyway.

On top of that, Se-jun had made a promise while preparing the Yong-Yong Market.

“In the future, I will give mileage that can be used at the Yong-Yong Market to those who promote the Yong-Yong Market.”

Since he planned to maintain this state until the Yong-Yong Market opened, Ramta had had no interest in mileage.

‘Still, there’s no need to reject incoming mileage.’

Ramta decided to receive the Yong-Yong Market mileage for once, and

“Kin, this is an item sold at the Yong-Yong Market…”

Began promoting the Yong-Yong Market, which sold crops with various effects, to Kin.

“Yong-Yong Market? There was a place that sold such crops? Ramta, tell me where the Yong-Yong Market is. I want to go too!”

Kin, who wanted to find crops that would help the Blue Tower at Ramta’s words, became excited.

But the Yong-Yong Market was a market that was still only in Se-jun and Theo’s heads. It did not exist yet.

“No way. The Yong-Yong Market only sells crops to approved members.”

Thus, Ramta, who had spoken of a membership system in his confusion. Ramta’s chin lifted and his voice carried arrogance. He felt smug for no reason.

“Is that so…?”

Kin was deeply disappointed by Ramta’s answer.

“Instead, I will look for crops that might help the Blue Tower in the Yong-Yong Market.”

“Really?! Ramta, thank you.”

“Muhaha. Trust only in me! Just prepare the Tower Coins. Since the Yong-Yong Market trades with Tower Coins.”

“Got it! I’ll get them right away!”

Kin hurriedly flew to the Blue Tower to pack the Tower Coins.

***

Zzz.

Arorong.

Kkirorong.

Se-jun’s bedroom, which was filled with the sound of snoring.

At that moment,

Kking…

‘Cold…’

Fenril woke up from the chill of dawn. With eyes that wouldn’t open, he moved, groping with his front paws to find a warm place.

The place he sought like that was Se-jun’s pocket. Heh. I’ll sleep in his pocket.

Fenril tried to enter Se-jun’s pocket with a goofy smile, but

Kking…? Kking?

‘Huh…? Why won’t I fit?’

The pocket, which would have had plenty of room for him before, was tight today even though he had only put in his head and one paw.

As Fenril’s body grew, he became unable to enter the pocket.

However,

Kking! Kking!

‘I can get in! Because I am the noble wolf, Fenril!’

Fenril, unable to accept reality, kept squeezing his body to enter Se-jun’s pocket, and

Rip.

As a result, the pocket ripped.

Kking?!

‘My home?!’

What should he do?! Se-jun’s pocket was his home. To think that home disappeared… it was an immense shock to Fenril.

And following the shock, he realized that he had made a huge mistake.

Kking? Kking!

‘He might dislike me because I broke the home! Let’s hide first!’

Fenril, who was hurriedly looking for a place to hide, entered Se-jun’s top. He wanted to hide, but he also didn’t want to separate from Se-jun.

Heh. It’s warm…

Kkirorong.

Hidden inside Se-jun’s top, Fenril fell fast asleep, intoxicated by the warmth.

***

“Uren, where should we go now, meow?!”

Once they left the 4th floor of the tower, Theo asked for Uren’s destination.

“The 75th floor of the tower. Right now, there…”

“Puhut. Understood, meow! Follow me, meow!”

Cutting off Uren’s words, Theo took the lead. I will return to Chairman Park quickly, meow!

“Lord Theo, let’s go together!”

Uren quickly trotted after Theo.

The way toward the 75th floor of the tower.

Theo met Jormungand’s fragments brought by Uren’s misfortune seven times, earning a massive amount of white coins, and met 25 teams of highwaymen to make 1000 slaves.

“Puhut. It’s nice to travel with Uren, meow!”

Theo rejoiced at the achievement (?) he could never have obtained if he traveled alone.

“Me too!”

“Puhut. That’s right, meow! Know that it is an honor to travel with me, Vice President Theo, meow!”

“Yes. Of course it is an honor!!”

“Puhut. Then since it is an honor, hand over the gold, meow!”

“Yes!”

At Theo’s words, Uren picked up a stone, turned it into gold, and gave it to Theo.

For Uren, traveling with Theo was a way to spend much less money.

When Uren wandered alone, the money taken by highwaymen under threats to his life was several times the money extorted by Theo.

In this way, Theo offset Uren’s bad luck with his own good luck, taking six hours to arrive at the 75th floor of the tower for a distance that would have taken one hour.

“Puhut. We’ve arrived, meow!”

“Lord Theo, please assist me next time too.”

“Puhut. Understood, meow! Prepare a lot of money, meow!”

“Hehehe. Of course! Lord Theo, take this!”

Uren made gold from a stone and handed it over.

“Puhut. Thank you, meow!”

Theo said goodbye to Uren and moved rapidly toward the 99th floor of the tower.

***

“Ugh!”

What hurts this much?! Se-jun woke up to the pain of his side being torn off. He hurriedly touched his side.

Then, he felt something squishy inside his clothes.

A monster?!

When Se-jun lifted his clothes, he saw Fenril sleeping curled up inside his clothes and a clear, small bite mark on his side.

Place.

When he placed Fenril’s mouth against the bite mark on his side, it matched exactly.

Fenril had bitten Se-jun’s side in his sleep.

It was fortunate that Fenril’s bite force was weak. Fenril’s teeth were dragon teeth. If things went wrong, his side could have been torn off and he might have died.

“That Blackie rascal…”

How dare you hurt me? Se-jun, the sunfish whose pride was hurt by being threatened with his life by a super fragile creature. He began to tickle Fenril’s body.

Kkihit. Kkihit.

Fenril, who woke up laughing hysterically at Se-jun’s tickling.

Kking! Kking!

‘Do it more! It’s fun!’

He played excitedly, forgetting what he had done at dawn before hiding inside Se-jun’s clothes.

At that moment,

“Huh?! Why is this ripped?”

Se-jun discovered his pocket, which was ripped and fluttering.

…!!!

Kking!

‘Right!’

I need to hide! Fenril hurriedly ran away.

But,

Thump. Thump.

He could not run far with his thumping steps, and rather ended up telling Se-jun ‘I am the culprit.’

Grab.

“Culprit apprehended.”

Kking?

‘I ran extremely fast, so why was I caught?’

Fenril could not understand why he was caught.

When Se-jun brought his face close and met Fenril’s eyes,

Kking…?

‘Why are you looking at me…?’

Fenril, having a guilty conscience, turned his head away to avoid Se-jun’s eyes.

“Where are you looking?!”

Then Se-jun also turned his head and met Fenril’s eyes again.

Kking…

‘Stop looking…’

In this way, the struggle between Fenril trying to avoid eye contact and Se-jun trying to make eye contact continued,

Kking… Kking…

‘I didn’t do it on purpose… I’m sorry…’

Fenril finally admitted his wrongdoing.

“Fine. Since you show an attitude of reflection, I will forgive you.”

Se-jun put Fenril down, pulled out a needle and thread, and sewed the ripped pocket.

Kking!

‘Hey! Make it a bit bigger! I can’t fit in there anymore!’

Fenril, who recovered his confidence in that short time, demanded Se-jun widen the pocket.

“Blackie, wait. I’ll play with you after I finish this.”

Of course, Se-jun, who could not understand Fenril’s words, repaired the pocket as it was.

The result of such poor communication.

Rip.

Fenril stuck his head in to enter Se-jun’s pocket, and ripped the pocket again.

Kking?! Kking?!

‘Hey! Why didn’t you enlarge it?! Why didn’t you enlarge it?!’

This time, Fenril was rather angry. Since he had spoken but Se-jun did not listen, he was very confident.

“Ah. You wanted to get into the pocket?”

Se-jun realized what Fenril wanted. He pulled out clothes he didn’t wear, cut them, and sewed a sling bag large enough for Fenril to fit inside.

“Here. Come in.”

When Se-jun opened the entrance of the sling bag,

Hop.

Fenril quickly hopped inside.

Kking! Kking!

‘I like this! Good job!’

Fenril praised Se-jun. The space was wider than the pocket, and it was easy to lie down.

As Se-jun went outside carrying the sling bag with Fenril inside like that,

-Did our Se-jun wake up?

Ramta came to find Se-jun.

“Yes. Lord Ramta, hello.”

-Right. This time, you see, to Kin, the leader of the Blue Dragons…

Ramta spoke in a quiet voice so that other dragons couldn’t hear, saying that he promoted the Yong-Yong Market to Kin and decided to find crops to use in the Blue Tower.

“Lord Ramta, thank you!”

He was worried because there was no place to plant the watermelons… but to think there was a place worried about having too much water.

Se-jun rejoiced inwardly and expressed his gratitude to Ramta.

-Ahem. It’s nothing… By the way, Se-jun, what about the mileage?

“Ah! Of course I will give it to you! I’ll give you 10 billion mileage! For reference, 1 mileage is 1 Tower Coin.”

-Oh! Then I have 10 billion Tower Coins now!

At Se-jun’s words, Ramta grinned widely.

“Yes. And if you use 10 billion mileage, you can buy a 30-day trial for the Yong-Yong Market VIP.”

-Yong-Yong Market VIP?! What is that? The nuance is very good.

“Ah. If you become a Yong-Yong Market VIP, your grade is higher than other general members, so you have the right to purchase crops first.”

Se-jun explained the benefits of the Yong-Yong Market VIP.

-A higher grade than other dragons? I’ll buy it. The 30-day trial for the Yong-Yong Market VIP.

In this way, Ramta, enticed by having a higher grade than other dragons, became the first Yong-Yong Market VIP among dragons, and

‘Saved money.’

Se-jun recovered the 10 billion mileage without spending a single cent.

“This is the contract.”

Se-jun handed Ramta the contract containing the details that Kin must follow in exchange for receiving the watermelon seeds.

-Got it. I will deliver it well to Kin! Muhaha. Make way for the Yong-Yong Market VIP!

Ramta hurriedly flew away to brag to the other dragons.

Once Ramta left like that,

“Ajax, please harvest the Solar Peppers.”

“Yes! Hyung! Leave it to me!”

He asked Ajax to harvest the Solar Peppers grown with the Elixir of Harvest yesterday and went to harvest blueberries.

Se-jun arrived at the place where ten blueberry trees were located like that.

He stood in front of the blueberry tree that had absorbed the Elixir of Harvest and towered higher than the other trees.

And,

Pop.

When he picked a blueberry fruit,

[You have harvested Blueberry of Mana.]

[Your job experience increases slightly.]

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

[You have obtained 70 experience.]

The messages appeared.

[Blueberry of Mana]

A blueberry grown inside the Black Tower. It is delicious because it consumed sufficient nutrition.

Upon consumption, it increases mana by 1 for 10 minutes.

The effect stacks up to a maximum of 10 within one hour.

If it sufficiently absorbs the energy of the Blue Moon, a special effect will be added.

Cultivator: Tower Farmer Park Se-jun

Expiration Date: 150 days

Grade: A

A crop that increases mana by 1 for 10 minutes, like the Cherry Tomato of Mana and Peanut of Mana.

What was different was the description that a special effect would be added if it absorbed the Blue Moon.

“I’ve never seen something like this.”

A Blue Moon will rise in 12 days. When Se-jun was about to start harvesting blueberries, deciding to check what additional effects would appear then,

“Chairman Park, I have returned, meow!”

Theo flew toward Se-jun’s face.
