nTL: Hanguk

nAs the hunters who ate the detoxifying green onions began to regain their original skin color and their rapid breathing started to ease.

n“It’ll take time to be fully detoxified, meow!”

nTheo casually stood up and climbed back onto the wooden box. In Theo’s hand was a piece of paper.

n‘Puhuhut. President Park will love it, meow!’

nTheo had quickly taken thumbprints of the hunters while feeding them detoxifying green onions. His hands were faster than the eye. Theo carefully put the contract into his bag, thinking about how happy Sejun would be.

nThen

n“Let’s start the auction with 500 magic cherry tomatoes each, meow!”

nTheo shouted charismatically.

n“870 tower coins for 500 pieces!”

n“890 tower coins for 500 pieces!”

nA higher than usual bid. Due to Theo’s long absence, there was no supply outside the tower, so the prices were rising.

nIn addition, after witnessing Theo’s good deeds here, the hunters unknowingly spent a little more money to help Theo, who had suffered a loss. Thanks to this, he was able to sell 5000 magic cherry tomatoes at about 1.9 tower coins each.

n“Next is the power sweet potato, meow!”

nTheo thought this trade would be a brief as the sweet potatoes didn’t receive a good response in the last auction, but

n“1500 tower coins for 500 pieces!”

n“1600 tower coins for 500 pieces!”

n“1800 tower coins for 500 pieces!”

nContrary to Theo’s thoughts, the hunters’ response was explosive. This was because the true value of the power sweet potato had been revealed.

nIt actively stimulates bowel movements.

nOf course, it helped to promote regular bowel movements, but that was just the tip of the iceberg. Consuming the power sweet potato resulted in more active bowel movements and increased absorption efficiency by 5 times.

nThat is, eating one power sweet potato and one detoxifying green onion together produced the same effect as eating five detoxifying green onions.

n“2500 tower coins for 500 pieces!!!”

n“3000 tower coins for 500 pieces!!!”

n“4000 tower coins for 500 pieces!!!”

nTherefore, the auction was heated, and the price of the power sweet potatoes skyrocketed.

n“50,000 tower coins for 500 pieces!”

n“60,000 tower coins for 500 pieces!”

n“120,000 tower coins for 500 pieces!”

nThe hunters fell silent at the sudden doubling of the price.

n120,000 Tower coins meant buying the power sweet potato for 240 Tower coins each. The winning bid for the power sweet potato at the last auction was 1 Tower coin, so it increased by a whopping 240 times.

nBut if you think about it, it was cheap. One power sweet potato does the work of four detoxifying green onions.

nAnd the price of the detoxifying green onion at the last auction was about 80 Tower coins. Even if you buy the power sweet potato for 320 Tower coins each, it’s still worth it.

nPlus, the effect of the power sweet potato isn’t limited to the detoxifying green onion. It also applies to the magical cherry tomatoes. Even if you eat one, it feels like you’ve eaten five and keeps your vitality for a long time.

nOf course, it also applied to ordinary medicines.

n“Sold, meow!”

nIn the ensuing auction, Theo sold the power sweet potato for an average of 250 Tower coins each.

nAnd then,

n“Next up is the detoxifying green onion!”

nThe auction for the detoxifying green onion began next.

n“40,000 tower coins for 500 pieces!”

n“41,000 tower coins for 500 pieces!”

n“42,000 tower coins for 500 pieces!”

nThe price was somewhat settled from the last auction, and it didn’t rise much when the power sweet potatoes appeared.

nThen,

n“I’m only selling 5,000 detoxifying green onions today, meow!”

n“What?!”

n“Why?!”

nThe hunters, who were leisurely watching, thinking that Theo would sell 10,000 detoxifying green onions as he did in the last auction, were taken aback.

nAnd then,

n“52,000 tower coins for 500 pieces!”

n“53,000 tower coins for 500 pieces!”

n“60,000 tower coins for 500 pieces!”

nThe hunters hurriedly joined the auction. Thanks to that, the price went up and Theo was able to sell 5,000 detoxifying green onions for 154 Tower coins each.

n‘Puhuuhut. I’ve earned over 2 million Tower coins, meow.’

n“Theo, let’s take a picture.”

nFemale hunters approached Theo, who was happy for exceeding his highest sales amount, asking him to take a photo.

n“It’s not possible, meow!”

n“Huh?! Why?”

n“I still have one more crop to sell, meow!”

n“Really?!”

nUpon hearing that there was a new crop, the scattering hunters gathered again.

n“The new crop for sale is Agility Carrots, meow! Come and see, meow!”

nThe hunters examined the options of the agility carrot at Theo’s invitation. They had already expected that it would increase agility just by hearing the name. The crucial part was the effect when a non-awakened person ate it.

n“It improves eyesight?”

n“Can even those who have lost their sight regain it?”

nPuzzled by the vague description, the hunters contemplated whether to buy the agility carrots and returned to their positions.

n“Let’s start, meow!”

n“500 tower coins for 500 pieces!”

nThe hunters estimated the value of the Agility Carrot based on the effect of improving agility, as they could not know how much it improved eyesight.

nAs the auction proceeded,

n“550 tower coins for 500 pieces!”

nThere was one hunter who was buying the Agility Carrot at a slightly higher price. It was Kim Dong-sik, the leader of the Phoenix Guild’s 3rd team.

n‘I’m investing all my fortune here!’

nBased on his past experiences, Dong-sik had realized that the crops sold by Theo were cheapest when first introduced and when people were skeptical.

nAnd in the next auction, once the value of the crops became known, the price would skyrocket. That’s why Dong-sik believed that now was the cheapest time, and he invested all his fortune to buy 3,000 Agility Carrots.

n“Sold out, meow!”

nWhen the auction ended, and Theo and the interns were taking photos and receiving rewards from the hunters,

n“Umm…”

nHunters who had been poisoned started to regain consciousness.

n***

n(Wake up…)

nLate at night, someone called Sejun.

n“Ugh, what is it?”

nAs Sejun rubbed his eyes and looked around,

nFlap. Flap.

nA golden bat was flying in front of Sejun.

n(Sejun! You’re awake! A Ent has come for you!)

n“Ent?”

n(Yes! It’s waiting outside!)

nListening to the golden bat’s words, Sejun went outside the house.

nThump, thump.

nAs Sejun came out, the Ent waiting in front of the house extended its head with a blue seed. It looked like a seed imbued with the energy of Blue Moon.

n“Did you come all this way for this?”

nSejun placed his hand on Ent’s head and asked,

nYes… Seed… Take… Please…

n“Okay.”

nSnap.

nSejun plucked the blue seed from Ent’s head.

nYou’ve obtained the Mimic Seed.

nYour Job experience slightly increases.

nYour proficiency in Seed Harvesting Lv. 4 slightly increases.

n“Mimic Seed?”

nSejun examined the seed.

nMimic Seed

n→ A seed produced by an Ent that has absorbed the energy of the Blue Moon, at a very low probability.

n→ It mimics the closest seed or crop.

n→ Grade: A

n“So it mimics?”

nAs Sejun was examining the seed,

nTh…ank… you…

nThe Ent expressed gratitude to Sejun for plucking its seed, and then

nThud. Thud.

nbegan to return to the Western Forest.

n“I should be the one thanking you.” .

nSejun waved until Ent was out of sight.

nAnd then,

n“Which crop should I plant it next to?”

nSejun wondered where to plant the Mimic Seed.

nBut,

n“Yawn.”

nHe was too sleepy.

n“Let’s think about it in the dream.”

nSejun put the Mimic Seed in his pocket and went back to sleep.

nAnd then, in the morning.

nKreong!

nCuengi came into the bedroom and woke Sejun up.

n“What’s the matter? Yesterday you just left me alone?”

nSejun said, feigning annoyance.

nKoo… Wahh..

nCuengi burst into tears as Sejun didn’t welcome it. Daddy is angry…

nVroom, vroom,

nKoong started the engine of crying.

n“No, no. Daddy’s not angry.”

nPat, pat.

nSejun quickly patted Cuengi’s butt to soothe him. If Cuengi cried, it would use more energy, and thus would need to eat more. And Sejun has to prepare the food that Cuengi will eat.

n‘I can’t make the child cry first thing in the morning.’

nAs Sejun soothed Cuengi ,

nKreong.

nI’m hungry.

nCuengi, who had stopped crying quickly, pushed out his pink belly and said.

n“Okay. Let’s have breakfast quickly. Golden bat, let’s go.”

n(Yes!)

nSejun took Cuengi and the golden bat to the kitchen and prepared breakfast. During the preparation, the rabbits woke up and helped Sejun.

nAfter having the prepared breakfast,

n“Ah! The Mimic Seed.”

nSejun took out the seed from his pocket.

nBut,

n“Huh?!”

nWhat came out from the pocket were two five-colored bean seeds.

n“Ah!”

nHe had completely forgotten about it since he bought it from Emil, the Raccoon Tribe chief. The Mimic Seed in his pocket had transformed into the five-colored bean seeds that was already there.

n“What does it matter?”

nSince he didn’t specifically have anything to do with the Mimic Seed, Sejun was not too disappointed.

n“Let’s plant them.”

nSince he had only two seeds, he didn’t want to plant them in the field. Sejun dug the ground with his dagger next to the fragment of the divine stone and planted the seeds.

nYou’ve planted the five-colored bean seeds.

nYour Job experience slightly increases.

nYour proficiency in Seed Sowing Lv. 6 slightly increases.

nDue to the effect of Proficiency Increase Lv. 1, your proficiency in Seed Sowing Lv. 6 has increased by an additional 5%.

nAfter planting the two five-colored bean seeds,

n“Today, we will harvest cherry tomatoes in the morning and go to the western forest in the afternoon. Got it?”

nKreong!

n(Yes!)

nSejun told Cuengi and the Golden Bat the schedule for the day. Anyway, he has to work alone.

n“Let’s work!”

nSejun went into the cherry tomato field alone and started picking cherry tomatoes.

nPop.

nYou’ve harvested a well-ripened Magical Cherry Tomato.

nYou have 50,017 times left to complete your job quest.

nYour Job experience slightly increases.

nYour proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 5 slightly increases.

nYou’ve gained 30 experience points.

n“There’s still half left.”

nSejun said, looking at the job quest message. The progress was slower than he thought.

nAnd while he was diligently harvesting cherry tomatoes,

nBuzz.

nA poisonous honeybee came.

n“Huh? What’s the matter?”

nBuzz.

nThe poisonous bees from the east are swarming.

n“Really? Cuengi, let’s go!”

nSejun hurriedly took Cuengi and moved east.

n***

n“Can you move now, meow?”

nTheo, who had returned after taking photos, asked the hunters who regained consciousness.

n“Yeah. Thank you for saving us.”

n“Thank you.”

nThe hunters expressed their gratitude to Theo.

n“It’s okay, meow! If you’re thankful, follow me, meow! Dong-sik, you follow too, meow!”

n“Me too?”

n“Yes, meow!”

nTheo took Kim Dong-sik and the hunters out of the camp.

nAs they were moving,

n“One.”

n“Be competent!!!”

n“Two.”

n“Let’s become humans!!!”

nThey could hear someone shouting from afar.

n‘Is he going to the master?’

nUpon hearing the sound, Dong-sik realized where Theo was heading.

n‘But why is he going to the master?’

nHe felt a sense of rejection because he himself had just come from running around with the Black Wolf Gang members until a few days ago.

nSoon after, as Dong-sik expected, they arrived where Han Tae-jun was.

n“Old man, it’s been a while, meow!”

n“Theo, why are you here so early? These guys are not ready to become competent yet.”

n“Eek!”

nThe Black Wolf Gang members were shocked at Han Tae-jun’s words.

n“I came because I have something important to discuss, meow.”

n“Something important? What is it?”

n“First, write a confidentiality agreement that you’ll keep what you hear here secret, meow!”

nTheo handed over a new contract. This contract only contained information about maintaining confidentiality.

n“Should we stand further away?”

nThe hunters who had followed Theo asked. They did not want to hear any secrets and complicate matters. .𝒎

n“There’s no need for that, meow!”

nTheo took out the contract he had put away earlier and began to write the contents of the agreement.

nStamp first, then contract. It was a truly crafty way to make a contract.

nThen,

n“Welcome, members. From now on, you are founding members of the Earth Defense Force, meow! And I’m the Deputy Commander of the Earth Defense Force, codename Yellow, meow!”

nTheo, having finished writing the contract, shouted to the hunters. Of course, Sejun was the commander of the Earth Defense Force.
