TL: Hanguk
Sejun first checked the options for the Kidney Bean of Soil Fertility. (TL: In previous chapter I translated it as Mental Strength Bean but I have changed it to Kidney Bean of Soil Fertility. The previous translation was also correct but the korean term used had more then one meaning and based on below context its the other meaning and not the previous one that I had translated earlier.)
[Kidney Bean of Soil Fertility]
→ Beans grown in the Black Tower. They are delicious and full of nutrients.
→ Cultivated by a farmer familiar with farming, they have improved in taste and efficiency.
→ Especially, they grow well even in barren lands and have an outstanding ability to restore the vitality and fertility of barren lands.
→ When consumed, muscles develop well in the body. (However, excessive consumption may lead to overdevelopment of muscles.)
→ Cultivator: Tower Farmer Park Sejun
→ Expiration date: 150 days
→ Grade: A
True to the name of the Kidney Bean of Soil Fertility, they had an excellent ability to enhance soil vitality.
However, since most of Sejun’s fields were well-maintained and had high vitality,
“Oh! It says eating this helps build muscle well?”
Sejun focused on the consumption options. As soon as he saw it, he thought of where to sell them.
Straight to Earth. Millions of fitness enthusiasts would eagerly buy them, so sales were guaranteed as long as he had the goods harvested.
“Hehehe. This is going to be a big hit.”
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, it smells heavily of money, meow!”
Theo chimed in at Sejun’s remark.
“Hahaha. Indeed, Vice Chairman Theo. Please sell it well in the future.”
“Puhuhut. Just leave it to me, meow!”
Thus, Sejun and Theo laughed ominously while looking at the brown beans.
“To make money, we need to plant them first.”
Sejun planted the Kidney Bean of Soil Fertility in the vacant spot of the Golden Tree Stump Pot of Abundance.
Initially, there was a 10x growth speed option, but now the pot had used up all the power of abundance, making even 2x growth speed difficult.
So far, Sejun couldn’t fill the power of abundance due to the threat to his life using <Power: Abundance!>, but
“Haha. Now, I have Mugwort Juice potions and 3 Life Orbs.”
Sejun’s basic vitality had also greatly increased, and he had two safeguards.
“Chairman Park, I’m ready too, meow!”
No. He had three.
Squeeze. Squeeze.
Theo was diligently massaging Sejun’s legs.
“Abundance!”
Sejun held a Mugwort Juice diluted in water in his right hand and placed his left hand on the Golden Tree Stump Pot of Abundance, using the power.
And
Gulp. Gulp.
[You have consumed water-diluted Mugwort Juice of Life.]
[Your Life force is restored by 10%.]
[You have consumed water-diluted Mugwort Juice of Life.]
[Your Life force is restored by 10%.]
He drank the Mugwort Juice potion in advance to prepare for the draining vitality.
[The <Power: Abundance!> is directly affecting the Golden Tree Stump Pot of Abundance.]
[The power of abundance is filled in the Golden Tree Stump Pot of Abundance.]
Sejun’s vitality was consumed, activating the power.
As expected, vitality continued to drain.
However
“···!!!”
It was more than expected. His vitality decreased faster than it could be replenished by the Mugwort Juice potion.
[You are running out of vitality].
[A Life Orb is consumed.]
One of the Life Orbs was quickly shattered as the rapidly depleting vitality was instantly replenished.
Fortunately, no more vitality drained after that.
[You have overcome a deadly crisis.]
[Talent: Sturdy Vitality causes your stamina to increase by 1.]
“Phew. That was a bit dangerous.”
Sejun breathed a sigh of relief as he read the message that his stamina had increased after overcoming a deadly crisis.
Then
Flash.
The Golden Tree Stump Pot of Abundance began to shine golden again. The power of abundance was recharged.
“Hehehe.”
Sejun transferred crops for which he urgently needed seeds to the pot.
After finishing the work,
“Alright. Shall we catch the troublemaker now?”
Sejun tried to find Fenrir but
“Blackie, are you here?”
He discovered Fenrir in the Five-colored Bean field, covering his eyes and ears with bean leaves and sticking his butt out, laughing mischievously with a ‘Piyihihi.’
“Pft. Is that your idea of hiding?”
Sejun burst into laughter at Fenrir’s hidden appearance. He cautiously approached and started poking his exposed butt that Fenrir had pushed out.
Then,
Kking!
‘I’m going to get caught at this rate!’
Fenrir, using his front paws, covered his eyes and ears even more diligently. It seemed he thought that covering just his eyes and ears would allow him to hide.
“Hehehe.”
So, finding it amusing, Sejun continued poking his butt, which initially made Fenrir flinch a few times, but later, thinking he wasn’t caught, he no longer reacted.
Kkurorong.
Instead, the sound of Fenrir’s snoring was heard.
“Blackie, are you sleeping now?”
Sejun was so dumbfounded that he lost any desire to scold him.
No. The desire to scold him seems to have already disappeared when he was poking his butt.
“You’ll catch a cold like this.”
Sejun picked up Fenrir, who was sleeping with bean leaves covering his face, and placed him in the sling bag.
By the way, the sling bag had been enchanted by Aileen to expand the interior space by 1.5 times for the enlarged Fenrir.
It was only slightly expanded because enlarging it too much could cause Fenrir to get stranded inside the sling bag.
So, with Fenrir in the sling bag and Theo hanging on his leg, Sejun headed to the Sticky Corn field.
Along the way, he found the road that had been covered in gemstones by Peblos, now cleared of all the gems.
“Still, since we received something… We should at least make a memorial for the benefactor. Land Moving.”
Feeling a bit sad about the cleared road, Sejun used his skill while striking the ground with Mylar’s hoe.
Then,
Kugugung.
A square stone, filling a 3.3 square meter area of the road, rose.
And,
“Vice Chairman Theo, your claws.”
“Got it, meow!”
Ppaching.
Holding Theo’s front paw,
Sak. Sak.
He engraved letters onto the center of the stone using dragon claws.
[Peblos Road]
– To Peblos, the God of Pebbles who gave us gems and left. He was a good god.
In honor of the benefactor(?), the road was also named Peblos Road.
“Peblos~nim would be satisfied with this, right?”
Sejun, with a satisfied expression, passed by Peblos Road and moved towards the Sticky Corn field.
Kkwek!
Kkwek!
The Mushroom Ants thoughtlessly passed through the now deserted Peblos Road.
***
“Abundance!”
Having arrived at the Sticky Corn field, Sejun drank the Mugwort Juice potion and used the power on the corn.
When he had used the power up to the middle of the field,
-Sejun-ah…
Kellion, who was hiding somewhere, appeared and quietly called Sejun.
“Ah. Kellion~nim, hello.”
-Yes. Sejun-ah, do you have any crops that can revive dead lands?
Kellion had come looking for Sejun, worried that there might not be any crops that Grave could buy.
If there are no crops for Grave to buy, he won’t join Dragon Market, and Kellion can’t become a VIP of Dragon Market.
“Crops that can revive dead lands? Ah… Yes, there are. Crops that grow well in dead lands and restore fertility.”
At Kellion’s question, Sejun thought for a moment and then recalled the Kidney Bean of Soil Fertility he had seen earlier.
The description clearly stated they grew well in dead lands and had outstanding ability to restore fertility.
-Oh! Really?! Hahaha… I knew there would be.
Kellion, laughing heartily at Sejun’s answer, hurriedly looked around and lowered his voice.
“But I don’t have them now. I just planted them, so you have to wait.”
-What? How long?
“Well, even if it’s fast, it will take about 5 days.”
-5 days… That much… I’ll have to give him more alcohol.
“What?”
-Ah, never mind! Then keep up the good work. Let’s see about these guys. Just a little more patience now…
Having heard the answer he wanted, Kellion again hid his body to avoid other dragons.
As Kellion disappeared,
“Can’t I get one more Golden Box of Abundance?”
While talking with Kellion, Sejun felt inconvenienced by the slow rate of securing seeds.
‘Or maybe upgrade the Box of Abundance.’
It was fast enough already, but as the number of crops needing to be multiplied increased, he felt constant regret.
“I wish Leah~nim would come once more…”
Sejun briefly thought of Leah, the God of Abundance.
“Abundance!”
[The <Power: Abundance!> is applied to the Sticky Corn.]
[The amount of the next harvest to be borne by the Sticky Corn doubles.]
He used his power again to increase the yield of the Sticky Corn.
Having used all his power on the Sticky Corn while drinking the Mugwort Juice potion,
“Abundance!”
Finally, he enhanced the vitality of the field itself and then,
“Now it’s time to prepare dinner.”
He headed to the cooking area to cook.
Shortly after,
Ppyak!
[Uncle, we’re here!]
Kueng!
[Dad, Cuengi is here!]
Black Rabbit and Cuengi, who had received special training from the Minotaur King returned together.
Then,
[The slave of the White Tower wishes to return, saying it’s time to leave work and wants to return.]
[The slave of the Purple Tower wishes to return, saying their work is done.]
Messages from Ajax and Veronica, who wanted to return to the Black Tower, appeared. Everyone seemed to have a ghostly sense of dinner time.
***
Seed Shop Headquarters.
[The Tower Farmer Park Sejun of the Black Tower has built a temple for you.]
[Your divine power increases by 15.]
…
[Five of the tenant Mushroom Ants of Tower Farmer Park Sejun have passed through your temple.]
[Your divine power increases by 0.0005.]
“Park Sejun, you even made a temple for me…”
Peblos, glowing faintly from the increase in divine power, was moved while looking at the message.
Sejun had created Peblos Road to honor the patron Peblos.
It was registered as Peblos’ temple, and since then, whenever someone passed the road, divinity flowed into Peblos.
“To think divine power could increase like this…”
It was a shocking event for Leah and the other non-combat gods, who had previously only increased their divine power through Tower Coins.
“I’m jealous…”
“So envious…”
Thanks to this, Peblos received the envy of Leah and the other non-combat gods.
Receiving prayers from Park Sejun.
Park Sejun had built a temple for him.
And the steady divinity received from that temple.
“I also want a temple built by Park Sejun…”
As Leah looked at Peblos with envy,
[The Tower Farmer Park Sejun of the Black Tower wishes for your descent.]
[Your divine power increases by 2.]
A message appeared before Leah.
“Oh. Park Sejun wishes for my descent?!”
Leah, the god of abundance, was delighted to see the message. Above all, she was especially happy that her divine power increased by 2. To think he wanted my descent this bad that my divine power increased by 2!
Technically, he wanted her to come and give him another Golden Box of Abundance or upgrade it, but since he wished for her descent…
“Park Sejun is waiting for me; I must prepare to descend myself. King of Farming!”
Leah quickly issued an oracle to her believer, the King of Farming, to go find Tower Farmer Park Sejun.
This time, she also planned to ask him to build a temple for her too.
***
Black Tower 4th Floor.
“O Leah, Goddess of Abundance. Today too, I diligently…”
Today, as usual, the King of Farming grew grapes, made grape wine, sold it to hunters, and made money, offering prayers to Leah.
On Earth, Halphas had summoned all the locusts, only for them to be annihilated by the golden bat, leading to the extinction of the locusts.
Thus, the demand for Sturdy Blade Green Onions had greatly decreased, but the demand for grape wine remained steady since the blood-sucking leeches were still around.
Then,
-My child.
Leah responded to the prayer of the King of Farming. Should I offer prayers once every two days?
Recently, Leah had been responding to his prayers so frequently that the King of Farming, feeling somewhat overwhelmed, thought it might be time to reduce his prayers.
-It is time!
“Time…?”
It hadn’t been long since he returned from meeting Sejun.
When Leah spoke again about “the time,” the King of Farming asked with a slightly anxious voice. For some reason, he had a sad premonition that he would have to find Sejun again.
And,
-Yes. Since Park Sejun wishes for my descent, go find him right away.
The sad premonition was accurate. The King of Farming packed the Holy Grape Seed Oil and went up the tower.
