Chapter 371 – Baet-baet. Today Was a Rewarding Day Too

When Se-jun was preparing to leave for the waypoint,

“President Park, we will go first, meow!”

Theo said to Se-jun, picking up his bundle. Bpiyot and Uren, who had packed their luggage before they knew it, were also standing behind Theo.

“Huh? Where are you going again?”

Se-jun, who thought they were going together, asked.

“Puhuhut. That is right, meow! We are going to make money, meow! I, Vice Chairman Theo…”

Theo explained that he was going along to catch the debtors and scammers on Uren’s blacklist.

Uren, who needed Theo to receive the money, showed his blacklist next to him and looked at Se-jun with a pitiful expression.

“Wow. He really got ripped off a lot.”

Se-jun was astonished while checking the amounts written on the blacklist.

Out of the 15 people written on the blacklist, the amount written next to the name at the very bottom was 1 trillion Tower Coins.

And when Theo mentioned that they would split the money they received fifty-fifty…

“As expected of Vice Chairman Theo! Very excellent! Yes. We should live helping each other. Go ahead.”

Se-jun urged Theo to leave quickly.

“Puhuhut. Understood, meow! I will go and come back quickly, meow!”

“Yeah. Have a safe trip.”

‘I received praise from Se-jun, meow!’

Theo, excited by Se-jun’s praise, rubbed his face hard on Se-jun’s lap one last time and left, taking Bpiyot, Uren, and the slaves.

Except for the skeletons. They were scheduled to go down to the 4th floor of the tower separately.

Se-jun had the Crying Skull Band, who had become slaves, receive instructions from the Farming King, and gave five Dragon Tooth Soldiers to the Farming King so he could protect himself.

Clatter.

[Then, we will be on our way too.]

The Farming King, who rose from the youngest of the Crying Skull Band to the highest level of power, went down the tower, leading the Crying Skull Band and the five Dragon Tooth Soldiers behind him.

While moving in that manner, the Farming King thought,

‘Ah… it was Lord Se-jun.’

Dragon Tooth Soldier, Se-jun, Cuengi.

As the three connected in his head, the Farming King realized who the Japgol was that had led Koto to walk the path of overthrowing the bone rank system.

***

1st Floor of the 10th Tower.

“Good. It is finished.”

Stella, who finished the voice message bead, spoke with a smile.

Because Stella had dug here and there to find materials for the voice message bead, small hills were made here and there in the surroundings.

Wuuung.

Stella recorded her voice while infusing mana into the bead.

And,

“Delivery.”

She sent the voice message bead to Se-jun.

-You should have spoken a bit more gently…

The administrator of the 10th Tower, who was listening, spoke in a worried voice.

He was worried that the one who passed the trial of the 10th Tower would get offended by Stella’s voice message bead and not come.

***

99th Floor of the Black Tower.

On the way to the farm riding Toryong.

“It will get pitch dark in a little bit.”

Se-jun spoke, looking at the darkening sky.

A moment later.

-Master, we have arrived. Have a good night’s sleep.

“Yeah. You sleep well too, Toryong.”

Se-jun, who arrived at the farm, said goodbye to Toryong,

Bbyarorong.

Kkuororong.

Arorong.

Kkirorong.

and laid the four who were already asleep down on the bed after holding them in his arms.

Then Se-jun lay down on the bed.

Gulp.

[You have consumed Medicinal Mugwort.]

[All stats increase by 20.]

[Lifespan increases by 3 months.]

[You have consumed a bitter-tasting medicine.]

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

[Stamina increases by 9.]

“As expected, it is bitter…”

He finished the 384th day by falling asleep after eating the medicinal mugwort.

Kkueeeer.

During the night when everyone fell fast asleep like that,

as the sky turned completely black,

(Baet-baet!)

the day of Baet-baet, the nocturnal Golden Bat who was hiding by clinging to Se-jun’s shoulder, began.

(Baet-baet! Good night, everyone!)

After Baet-baet greeted quietly enough not to be heard by the sleeping group,

(Baet-baet. I’m hungry.)

Flutter. Flutter.

he quietly came outside and headed to the kitchen.

On the kitchen table, there were fruits that Se-jun had prepared so that Baet-baet could eat them.

There were all the fruits that Se-jun grew, such as elixir-grade cherry tomatoes, grapes, and watermelons.

Slurp. Slurp.

(Baet-baet! It’s so delicious!)

Baet-baet, who filled his belly with fruit juice,

went to the Screaming Pineapple field, cut a pineapple, and firmly held and pressed down on the pineapple that was about to scream with his wings.

(Baet-baet! It’s a success!)

He was currently doing by himself what he couldn’t do with Se-jun because he was sleeping during the day.

(Baet… one time is my limit. As expected, older brother Cuengi has amazing strength!)

Having made a Screaming Pineapple that endured the scream once like that, Baet-baet

flew to the deserted cave in the east.

As if the cave was familiar, Baet-baet went deep inside without hesitation and took a position in the center of a giant clearing.

And,

(Baet-baet Storm Fist!)

(One Baet Slash!)

(Baet-baet Huuu-!)

began his night exercise, warming up with the skills of his older brothers that he had already learned.

(Baet-baet-bak Drill Storm!)

practicing by putting his own name into the combined move of Theo and Cuengi, the Te-Kkue-Bak Drill Storm,

(One Baet Finger!)

(Baet-baet Destruction Fist!)

(Baet Step!)

he came out of the cave after using the new techniques of Theo and Cuengi several times to adapt them to his own body.

As if the sun was rising, the sky had become slightly brighter.

(I’m slowly getting tired.)

After Baet-baet hurriedly returned to the farm and washed his body in the bathhouse,

(Baet-baet! Blackie will like it!)

Baet-baet, who wanted to take care of the youngest’s snack as an older brother, put cherry tomatoes in Fenrir’s secret warehouse.

Among the carrots and cherry tomatoes that Fenrir saw yesterday, the cherry tomatoes were not put in by the Black Rabbit, but by Baet-baet.

To call it a secret warehouse, too many beings knew about it.

(Baet-baet. Today was a rewarding day too. I should sleep now.)

Baet-baet finished his day by falling asleep in stealth mode, clinging to Se-jun’s thigh.

***

“Up we go!”

Se-jun sat up, opening his eyes.

[You have stored 10% of the life force you possessed while sleeping.]

[The Bead of Life is 0.75% complete.]

[0.1 magic power has accumulated over 24 hours.]

[Magic power increases by 0.1.]

“Hehehe.”

Smiling broadly at the messages, he marked the date on the wall and walked around the farm.

At that moment,

“Huh? Why is this here?”

Se-jun spoke as he picked up a Screaming Pineapple that endured the scream once, which was lying on the ground.

“Did I miss it without knowing?”

Se-jun put the pineapple in the subspace warehouse and walked again.

“Good. Here would be nice. Shifting Earth.”

Se-jun laid stones on 5 pyeong of the path where the mushroom ants frequently passed, and

[Rhea Road]

[-Rhea, the Goddess of Abundance who will enrich our pockets with the Elixir of Harvest. She was a good goddess.]

carved the sponsor’s achievements on the stones to make Rhea Road.

Since it was still postpaid and he had not received the Elixir of Harvest yet, he wrote the achievements in the future tense as “will enrich” instead of “enriched.”

Se-jun, who made Rhea Road like that.

He headed to the kitchen to prepare breakfast,

“They ate well.”

and prepared breakfast after confirming the fruits with their juice sucked out on the table.

Meanwhile,

Bbyak.

Kkueng.

“Yeah. Good morning.”

The Black Rabbit, Cuengi, and Ajax, who woke up from sleep, greeted each other for the morning,

Kkihikit. Kking?!

‘Hehit. Is my secret warehouse doing well?!’

As soon as Fenrir opened his eyes in bed, he ran toward his secret warehouse with an excited heart.

And,

Kking?

‘Who is it again?’

Fenrir, who checked the secret warehouse, went into searching for the suspect upon seeing his secret warehouse filled with cherry tomatoes.

However… seeing that the Black Rabbit did not raise his thumb even after making eye contact, it seemed it was not the Black Rabbit’s doing this time.

Kking.

‘This place is no longer safe.’

Fenrir decided to make secret warehouse number 2.

A moment later,

“Ajax, have a safe trip.”

“Yes! Brother!”

Kkueng!

[Cuengi is going to dig up medicinal herbs-da-yo!]

Bbyak!

[Uncle, I will be back too!]

Once breakfast was finished, Ajax left for the White Tower, Cuengi for the western forest where medicinal herbs were, and the Black Rabbit for the waypoint where the Bull Demon King was.

And,

Kkihikit. Kking!

‘Hehit. Secret warehouse number 2 will definitely not be caught!’

Leaving behind Fenrir who was diligently digging the right side of the tombstone of the Creator God, Se-jun moved to the largest cornfield on the farm.

For reference, Fenrir’s secret warehouse number 1 was on the left side of the tombstone of the Creator God.

“Aileen, can you give me Fenrir’s core fragment that is 0.5%?”

Arriving at the field, Se-jun asked for Fenrir’s core fragment that he had brought yesterday.

He intended to test if the crops received as the reward for the great achievement after defeating the locusts really absorbed the power of destruction.

[The tower administrator says she understands.]

As it appeared on Se-jun’s palm along with Aileen’s answer, Se-jun buried it shallowly in the ground.

Having buried the core fragment like that,

Drip.

Drip.

Se-jun moved to the place where the Cherries of Deep Darkness were planted and dropped one drop of the Elixir of Harvest on each sprout.

Crack.

Crack.

The cherries grew rapidly. Since he had even used , he was looking forward to the yield.

Se-jun then went to the place where the Light-Watcher sprouts were growing, and

“Be Fruitful!”

after using the authority on all the planted Light-Watcher sprouts while drinking the Mugwort Juice Potion,

Drip.

Drip.

he dropped one drop of the Elixir of Harvest on each of the two sprouts.

And,

“Be Fruitful!”

he dropped the last remaining drop of the Elixir of Harvest on the Kidney Bean of Soil Fertility after using the authority on it. Since the Brown Dragon customer was waiting.

Having used up the Elixir of Harvest like that, he went back to the cornfield and pulled out Fenrir’s core fragment.

[0.4999…9%]

How many nines were there…? Even though he counted roughly, there were more than 20. The energy of destruction was indeed absorbed in a very tiny amount.

“It works, but…”

The effect was too weak.

“Still, since I confirmed the effect.”

Se-jun decided to bury Fenrir’s core fragment in the ground for now to observe it a bit more.

Of course, considering Fenrir, who got excited just by looking at core fragments, he surrounded the vicinity with thick stones and buried it deep in the ground so that Fenrir could not dig it out.

At that moment,

Kking!

‘Here from my core I felt it!’

Thump. Thump.

Fenrir felt the core fragment late and ran over.

However,

Kking?

‘Where is it?’

As the crops absorbed the power of destruction in Fenrir’s core fragment, he could not accurately pinpoint the location of the core fragment.

Kking!

‘I will find it!’

Of course, Fenrir was not one to give up because of that.

However,

“Blackie, I told you that you shouldn’t play in the field!”

while digging up the field, he was grabbed by the scruff of his neck by Se-jun and forcibly isolated in the sling bag.

Kking!

‘I will find it someday!’

Fenrir, who only stuck his head out of the sling bag, stared at the cornfield until the very end,

Kkirorong.

and fell fast asleep. His embrace was too comfortable…

While Se-jun carried Fenrir and was looking at the crops growing rapidly by absorbing the Elixir of Harvest like that,

[Stella Hisron, the helper of the 10th Tower and the great Silver Dragon, has sent a voice message bead.]

[1 million Tower Coins are required to receive the voice message bead.]

[Would you like to receive the voice message bead?]

The messages appeared.

“Yes. I’ll receive it.”

Since he could obtain a 10,000-fold profit just by receiving and delivering it to Cricella, there was no reason not to receive it.

[You pay 1 million Tower Coins.]

[You have obtained a voice message bead.]

“Aileen, deliver this when Cricella-nim comes.”

Se-jun delivered the received bead to Aileen immediately.

[The tower administrator asks if you don’t need to listen to it.]

“Yeah. I won’t listen.”

It was certain that she would be angry about why he was not coming quickly to the 10th Tower. Thanks to this, he could avoid hearing Stella’s angry and furious voice.

It was Se-jun who made a very wise choice.

***

Underground of the Tower’s Land.

[Huh?! This works?]

Flamie was fascinated while looking at the red mist being absorbed by her roots.

She was seeing the effect obtained by Se-jun achieving the great achievement.

Because Flamie was also a crop grown by Se-jun, she could absorb a very tiny amount of the power of destruction.

However, the “very tiny amount” that Flamie absorbed was on a different scale.

[Good! Now I can go to other places too!]

Flamie began to stretch her roots to regions she could not go to because of the red mist.
