TL: Hanguk
“Why do I have to do this, meow?!”
Theo, hanging on Sejun’s head, peered around the field that was being illuminated by a blue light with a pout on his face. He was sulking because he couldn’t hang on Sejun’s knee as it couldn’t be seen from below.
“Vice Chairman Theo, please endure a little longer. I’ll give you churu afterward.”
“Meow! Okay, meow!”
Theo, encouraged by Sejun’s words, looked around with wide eyes.
Then,
“Meow! Chairman Park, found it, meow”
Krueng!
[I found it, daddy!]
Theo and Cuengi, who were looking over the field from atop Pink-fur’s head, simultaneously spotted the area where the blue light was beginning to intensify.
“Meow! Cuengi, I saw it first, meow!”
Krueng! Krueng!
[No! Cuengi saw it before big brother did!] .𝒎
As Theo and Cuengi argued over who spotted it first,
Flash!
The blue light brightened even more, as if absorbing all the energy of the Blue Moon.
“What’s this?”
Having never experienced this before, Sejun approached the cherry tomato field radiating light.
Ssshh.
By the time Sejun approached, the blue light had completely transferred to a single cherry tomato, which now radiated not blue or red, but a pure white light.
“……”
Thud.
Sejun, as if entranced, plucked the white cherry tomato.
And then,
[Elixir: You have harvested a cherry tomato imbued with powerful magic power.]
[Due to the effect of Harvesting Lv. 6, you harvested a crop one grade higher.]
[Your job experience greatly increased.]
[Your proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 6 has increased greatly.]
[Your proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 6 has been filled, and the level increases.]
[You have acquired 1000 experience points.]
“Huh?!”
Sejun came to his senses only after seeing the harvested message.
And then,
“A cherry tomato imbued with powerful magic power?!”
He was shocked to see the name of a crop he had never seen before. Moreover, it was an elixir.
Just then,
[You have achieved the achievement of creating a new variety in the tower.] .
[The tower acknowledges your exclusive cultivation rights for the new variety.]
[Without your permission, no one can cultivate the Elixir: Cherry Tomato Imbued with Powerful Magic Power.]
[Your job experience increases greatly.]
All this time, Sejun had harvested cherry tomatoes the most until now, but he had never encountered a new variety. He had almost given up, but…
“Cherry tomato! I always believed in you!”
The magical cherry tomato finally gave Sejun a new variety. Moreover, it was classified as an elixir.
As Sejun hurriedly tried to check the attributes of the white cherry tomato in his hand
[You have achieved the feat of creating 5 new varieties in the tower.]
[As a reward for the great farmer’s achievement, one job characteristic will be added.]
[Every time you create a new variety, all your stats increase by 10.]
“Oh! Jackpot!”
Every time a new variety is created, all stats increase by 10! It was an amazing job characteristic that had the same effect as raising 40 levels.
“Let’s check its attributes now.”
Sejun happily checked the options of the Elixir: Cherry Tomato Imbued with Powerful Magic Power.
[Elixir: Cherry Tomato Imbued with Powerful Magic Power]
→ It is a mutant cherry tomato that has absorbed the intense magic power of the Blue Moon at the highest point of the tower.
→ A cherry tomato grown inside the tower, it is delicious and full of nutrients.
→ Its color changed to white as it absorbed powerful magical power.
→ Consuming it permanently increases magic power by 10.
→ It was born by absorbing powerful magic, and it cannot grow anywhere that doesn’t have strong magic presence.
→ Cultivator: Tower Farmer Park Sejun
→ Expiration date: 10 years
→ Grade: A
“Huh?! It’s A-grade?!”
He then remembered the message that said he had harvested a crop of one higher grade.
At that moment,
“Put that cherry tomato in this box, meow!”
Theo took out a box from his bag.
“What is that box?”
“It’s a box I got from lottery draw, meow!”
“What?! A Lottery Draw? Did you do a draw at the blacksmith?”
“No, meow! I found a new place, meow!”
It was the lost-and-found storage warehouse, which unbeknownst to Taru, had become Theo’s new location for lottery draws.
“Oh! Really?!”
Sejun seemed even happier with Theo’s words than when he got the elixir cherry tomato. Theo’s draw are always great. Just as Theo trusted Sejun’s knee, Sejun also trusted Theo’s front paw.
Sejun examined the box.
[Shabby Wooden Box]
???
Grade: E
“Hehehe. I wonder what effect this has.”
Sejun said with a voice full of anticipation.
And then,
“Aileen, please appraise this.”
He asked Aileen for an appraisal.
[The tower administrator says to leave it to her.]
As soon as Aileen responded, the shabby wooden box disappeared.
A moment later,
[The tower administrator says the appraisal is complete.]
[The tower administrator says Theo has brought another good item.]
“Of course, meow! I always bring helpful items, meow! So, Chairman Park, quickly praise me, meow!”
“Alright. Vice Chairman Theo, well done.”
“Just with words, meow?! Extend my term as Vice Chairman quickly, meow!”
“Okay. One month extension!”
“Meow! Meow! Good, meow!”
Theo, pleased to have the term as Vice Chairman extended as he wanted, rubbed his forehead on the back of Sejun’s head in delight.
[The tower administrator says it seems to be an item that will be helpful to you.]
“Really?”
[The tower administrator says you will know when you see it yourself.]
Thud.
With Aileen’s words, a box appeared in front of Sejun.
“Huh?!”
It was definitely a shabby wooden box before, but now it had transformed into a golden box. Sejun quickly checked the options of the golden box.
[Golden Box of Abundance]
→ A box containing the power of an ancient god responsible for abundance, whose name has long been forgotten.
→ Over time, most of the god’s powers have faded.
→ If you put one grain or fruit in it and wait a day, it will increase to two.
→ Usage Restriction: Worshippers of Abundance
→ Creator: ???
→ Grade: A+
“God’s power?”
As described, the power had significantly faded, and the grade was low for a god’s power item. On top of that, the option was to double, not more – a bit lacking for a divine item.
“Vice Chairman Theo, I’ll put it in here like you said.”
Still, it was not a bad effect if it could double the elixir cherry tomato, which there was only one of, in just one day.
Sejun put the white cherry tomato in the golden box of abundance. Then he put the golden box into the void storage and came out.
Zzz.
Kurrr.
Cuengi and the golden bat were sleeping on Pink-fur’s back, and
“Meow… Chu-ru…”
Theo, who was adamant about eating churu before sleeping, was half-asleep, hanging on Sejun’s head, after achieving his goal of extending his term as Vice Chairman.
“You must be tired.”
Snap.
Sejun put Theo on his knee. After that, Sejun continued to look around the field with Pink-fur and five black minotaurs.
However, it seemed that the elixir cherry tomato absorbed all the energy of the blue moon, as no other crops, imbued with the energy of the blue moon, appeared.
As the blue moon ended,
“Good job, everyone.”
Kueong!
Moo!
Sejun gave plenty of food to the Pink-fur and Black Minotaurs as a token of gratitude and sent them back.
“I should get some sleep too.”
After sending off the animals, Sejun entered the house. As soon as he lay down on the fluffy mushroom mattress, he fell asleep.
Snore.
Gororong.
Only the sound of Sejun and Theo snoring could be heard in the bedroom.
***
“Meowww! I slept well, meow!”
Theo, who had a good night’s sleep on Sejun’s knee, stretched out his front paws and stretched refreshingly.
And then,
Thump. Thump.
He stepped on Sejun’s body and approached Sejun’s face.
“Chairman Park is still in dreamland, meow. But his face looks really bad, meow!”
Theo said pitifully while looking at Sejun’s face. When would Chairman Park’s face ever get better, meow?!
“There is no other way, meow! I will give a special massage, meow!”
Press. Press.
Theo diligently stomped on Sejun’s face with his front paws.
While Theo was massaging Sejun’s face,
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Vice Chairman Theo, you’re here!”
Iona, who had come to ask Sejun for a favor, was delighted to see Theo.
“Iona, nice to see you, meow!”
“Yes! Vice Chairman Theo, there is a completion celebration party for the completion of the wizard tower in 4 days. Please come then.”
Iona invited Theo to the party.
“Meow?! Is Chairman Park also going?”
“Yes. Sejun has also agreed to come.”
“Then I’ll go too, meow!”
While Theo and Iona were talking,
“Uhm…”
Sejun woke up.
“Did Chairman Park wake up, meow?”
“Of course, I’d wake up. You’re chatting so loudly beside me…”
Sejun grumbled as he got up.
“That’s good, meow! Chairman Park, now that you’re awake, give me a churu, meow!”
Theo laid down on Sejun’s lap, with twinkling eyes, ready to eat Churu.
“Kyoot. Then I should also take a short nap before I go!”
As Theo laid down, Iona quickly wrapped Theo’s tail around her and closed her eyes.
“Alright.”
Yawn.
Sejun, still half-asleep, tore open the Churu and fed it to Theo.
Slurp slurp slurp.
‘As expected, the Churu fed by Chairman Park while on Chairman Park’s lap is the tastiest, meow!’
Theo was happy while eating the Churu.
And as Sejun was feeding Theo and starting to wake up,
Krueng!
[Daddy, Cuengi is hungry too!]
Cuengi, who woke up due to hunger, immediately came looking for Sejun as soon as he opened his eyes.
“Alright… eat this and wait for a while.”
Sejun took out some dried sweet potatoes from the void storage and gave them to Cuengi.
Krueng!
[It’s delicious!]
Chew chew.
Cuengi, sitting next to Sejun, diligently ate the dried sweet potatoes.
A moment later.
(Sejun! Good morning!)
The golden bat, having woken up, came to find Sejun.
“Yes. Good morning.”
And so, surrounded by the animals, Sejun began the 302nd morning of being stranded.
“So, you want me to decide on a new name for the wizard tower?”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Yes!”
Crunch crunch.
Iona, who answered Sejun’s question, continued to gnaw on roasted peanuts. The reason Iona came to Sejun was to get a new name for the wizard tower.
Originally, it was the Gravity Wizard Tower, but as it has absorbed the Fire, Destruction, and Meteor Wizard Towers, its size increased and its identity as a user of gravity magic became blurred. Therefore, a new name was needed for the wizard tower that would give everyone a sense of belonging.
And at the end of the wizard tower meeting, it was suggested that Sejun, the real power behind the Black Tower, should give the wizard tower its new name.
“Meow! I have a good name, meow! Vice Chairman Theo, shortened to TheoPa Tower, how about that, meow?!”
“That’s totally lame.”
“What do you mean, meow? There’s no way that’s lame, meow! Then how about Theo Park Tower, meow?!”
“Pass.”
“Why are you rejecting everything I suggest, meow?!”
Just as Theo was about to argue why his proposed name wasn’t being accepted,
Krueng!
[Cuengi thought of a name too!]
Cuengi said, raising his front paw energetically.
“Oh?! What is it, Cuengi?”
Krueng!
[It’s Honey Tower!]
Cuengi suggested the name of his favorite food, honey, for the wizard tower.
“Uhm… That might be difficult?”
Krueng! Krueng?
[Honey is delicious! Why can’t it be?]
Cuengi was puzzled why the delicious honey couldn’t be the name of the wizard tower.
Then,
(Pip-pip. How about naming it Sejun Tower after Sejun?)
The golden bat suggested naming the wizard tower after Sejun.
‘Hehehe. The golden bat is making me blush…’
Sejun was secretly pleased when,
“It won’t work, meow! It’s too weak, meow!”
Krueng!
[The name lacks strength!]
Theo and Cuengi opposed naming the tower after Sejun, who they deemed the weakest. These guys!
“No, it’s just…”
“Kyoo-Kyoo-Sejun! Your name won’t work! Then everyone will look down on our wizard tower!”
Just as Sejun was about to argue, Iona’s anger gauge rose to level 2, and she became angry.
“I’ve become much stronger than before…”
As Sejun was feeling wronged,
(Pip… I’m sorry for suggesting a weak name.)
The golden bat, who suggested Sejun’s name, apologized.
“Ugh… Golden Bat, you too…”
Having been dealt the final blow, Sejun fell into despair.
