n“Land Moving.”

nThunk

nSejun, who had spread cherry tomato seeds on the ground, used his skill as he struck the ground with Myler’s hoe.

nBoom

nThe ground shifted, swallowing the scattered cherry tomato seeds spread on the ground and then buried them at regular intervals.

nAnd then,

nThe earth moves favorably for you.

nThe magic power consumption for Land Moving is reduced by half.

nYou have planted 1005 magical cherry tomato seeds.

nYour job experience points have increased slightly.

nDue to magical cherry tomato seeds listening to the sound of the farmer’s footsteps, the effect of Magic Seed Sowing Lv. 7 has been enhanced.

nDue to the effect of Magic Seed Sowing Lv. 7, the growth rate of the magical cherry tomato seeds will be doubled for 24 hours.

nYour proficiency in Magic Seed Sowing Lv. 7 has increased slightly.

nA message appeared that the cherry tomatoes had been planted. In the meantime, the magic power had increased by 1, allowing a slight increase in the number of crops he could plant.

n“Phew. No matter how much I plant, it never ends.”

nSejun, who had been planting crops non-stop since sending Theo to buy jars in the morning until late afternoon, complained as he still saw the crops filling his void storage.

nThe storage was overflowing with crops because he had harvested even those that didn’t need to be, in an effort to harvest new varieties.

nIt wasn’t a number that could be diminished by eating.

nSo Sejun was replanting crops that couldn’t be stored for a long time, except for the crops that had a method to be stored for a long time like dried sweet potatoes..

nAt that moment

nGrrrumble!

nSejun’s stomach made a noise, asking for food.

n“Is it already that time? I am hungry…”

nSejun stroked his belly and walked wearily towards the kitchen.

nUsually, before Sejun’s belly-clock would alarm, Cuengi would have already come to ask for food first, but today, for some reason, Cuengi had not yet returned from the western forest where he went to look for herbs.

nAs Sejun was heading to the kitchen,

n“Oh! They’ve grown a lot.”

nHe discovered the rice planted in the Golden Tree Stump Pot of Abundance had sprouted green shoots and grown about 10cm in just three days. The growth rate was indeed tenfold faster.

n“Grow well.”

nFarmer’s Warm Touch Lv. 4 is activated

nThe growth of the crops quickens while touched.

nSejun tenderly stroked the rice sprouts with a loving gaze.

nHehehe, just a little more and I’ll be able to eat white rice! 𝘳𝑎.𝗇t

n“Ah… It’s going to be delicious…. Sseup.”

nImagining himself scooping up a big spoonful of white rice and topping it with a savory grilled fish, Sejun hurriedly wiped the drool leaking from his mouth.

n“I can’t wait any longer.”

nHungry from imagining the food, Sejun quickly got up and rushed to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

nThen,

nDadada.

nKrueng! Krueng!

nDaddy Cuengi is hungry! Cuengi brought the food for Daddy!

nCovered in mud, Cuengi came running with four kudzu roots clutched in his front paws.

n“Yeah! Thanks! Haah…”

nSejun waved energetically at the approaching Cuengi and let out an involuntary quiet sigh.

n‘Cuengi dug up four kudzu roots…’

nHe had dug up quite a lot. As Cuengi said, it seemed tonight’s dinner would be kudzu roots.

nKrueng!

nEat quickly!

nCuengi, having reached Sejun, handed over the kudzu roots and looked up at him with sparkling eyes.

n“Just a moment.”

nSejun took a closer look at the kudzu roots brought by Cuengi, which seemed thicker than usual, perhaps due to his mood.

nThick and Sturdy Kudzu Root of Life

n→ It’s a kudzu root that has grown by absorbing life force from a living host.

n→ It has absorbed almost the maximum amount of the host’s life force, enhancing its medicinal properties.

n→ When consumed, it increases stamina by 30 or potential stamina by 15.

n→ It has a strong bitter taste.

n→ Cultivator: Tower Farmer Park Sejun

n→ Expiration Date: 180 days

n→ Grade: B

n“It’s not just my imagination.”

nThe kudzu roots were indeed thicker than usual.

nCrunch. Crunch.

nSejun boldly ate the kudzu roots since he was going to eat them anyway.

nGulp.

nYou have consumed the Thick and Sturdy Kudzu Root of Life!

nYour Stamina increases by 30.

nYou have consumed medicine with a bitter taste.

nTalent: A Medicine That’s Bitter is Good for Stamina has activated.

nYour Stamina increases by 3.

nSejun continued to eat four kudzu roots in succession.

nWhen he ate the first thick kudzu root, the effect ‘A Medicine That’s Bitter is Good for Stamina’ increased his stamina by 3, but the effect decreased to 2, 2, and 1 respectively, as his tongue got used to the bitter taste.

nMeanwhile, the eyes of Cuengi, watching Sejun eat the kudzu roots, became brighter and brighter!

nHehehe. Now it’s time for honey jelly!

nHowever,

n“It’s time to prepare for dinner.”

nContrary to Cuengi’s expectations, Sejun, who had fully adapted to the bitter taste, did not indulge in a mouth cleanser.

nKrueng! Krueng?!

nDad, where are you going! Did you forget something?!

nCuengi was shocked by Sejun’s reaction and hurriedly called out to him as he was heading to the cooking area.

n“Hm? Forget something?”

nSejun, with his hands behind his back, pretended as if he didn’t remember anything.

nKrueng….

nDisappointed by Sejun’s response, Cuengi thought, no choice then! I’ll have to bring out the secret herbs! Cuengi reached into his snack pouch to pull out a powerful herb that would force Sejun to have a mouth cleanser.

nAt that moment

n“Ta-da! Of course, I didn’t forget! I was just playing a joke. Here’s some honey for you today.”

nSejun handed over a jar full of honey that he had hidden behind his back to Cuengi. Sejun knew that recently Cuengi had been looking forward to sharing snacks with him after giving him the kudzu roots.

nKuehehehe. Krueng!

nHehehe. It’s honey!

nCuengi quickly withdrew his front paw from the snack pouch, which was going to retrieve the herbs, and received the honey instead. Thanks to this, Sejun unknowingly avoided the crisis of passing out from eating something bitter.

n“Then, Cuengi, wait here while you eat the honey.”

nLeaving Cuengi to eat the honey, Sejun went to the kitchen area to start cooking.

n***

nGreen Tower’s Administrator Area.

n“Damn! Another miss.”

nBrachio frowned as she looked at the boar monster that had been transferred from the Black Tower to the Green Tower through a land deed. Unfortunately, Sejun, the intended target, had not been caught.

n“Go and collect it.”

nBrachio ordered her subordinate to collect the land deed.

n“It’s not easy…”

nBrachio muttered with a frown, frustrated by her continual failures in trying to catch Sejun with the land deed.

n“Where did that liquor come from?”

nBrachio recalled the Samyangju that had suddenly appeared a few days ago.

n“It was so delicious…”

nRemembering the deep aroma and the clean taste of Samyangju, Brachio’s lips naturally curved into a smile.

nMoreover, Samyangju had an incredible effect.

nDrinking Samyangju seemed to clear the fog that always clouded her mind. It wasn’t just her; all the green dragons who had a sip felt the same way.

nAnd with their clear minds, they noticed something odd about other Green Dragons.

n“Why aren’t they sleeping?”

nThe Green Dragons, supposed to be in their hibernation period, were not sleeping. They had forgotten the fact that they need to sleep during hibernation.

nNo matter how strong dragons are, they need to have a hibernation period to rest their minds.

nTherefore, Brachio hurriedly put the other green dragons who had drunk Samyangju to sleep forcibly, even resorting to shock therapy.

n“We need more of that alcohol… but where to get it?”

nAs Brachio was thinking of ways to get Samyangju,

nThe giant horned deer on the 78th floor of the tower are in danger of extinction.

nThe red-striped meerkats on the 56th floor of the tower are in danger of extinction.

n…

n..

n.

nThe effects of the kudzu that Sejun had spread in the Green Tower through Ajax began to show.

n***

n“Chairman Park! I have returned, meow!”

nTheo leaped towards Sejun, who was resting after dinner, with all four limbs stretched out.

n“Hmm. Vice chairman Theo, did you have a good trip?”

nSnap.

nSejun reached out to welcome Theo, not wanting to chew on Theo’s fur.

nBut

n“Puhuhut. No chance, meow!”

nSwoosh.

nDada.

nTheo agilely twisted his body in mid-air, dodged Sejun’s arm, and ran up his arm to fling himself at Sejun’s face.

nAnd then,

nClutch.

nUsing all four of his paws, he clung tightly to Sejun’s face. Inevitably, Theo’s greasy fur along with his scent ended up in Sejun’s mouth.

n“Hey! Get off!”

n“Meow?!”

n“Ptui! Ptui!”

nSejun grabbed Theo by the scruff and detached him from his face, spitting out the fur that had entered his mouth.

n“Ptui! Ptui! Vice chairman Theo, did you get the jars?”

nSejun asked, after spitting out fur a few more times, whether Theo had completed the task he was given.

n“Puhuhut. Of course, meow! Who do you think I am, meow?! I’m none other than Vice chairman Theo, the right-hand man of Chairman Park, meow! I’ve got all 3000 jars, meow!”

nTheo said with a proud voice, putting his front paws on his waist.

n“Good. You did well. Let’s keep the jars in the brewery for now.”

n“Understood, meow! Let’s go, meow!”

nTheo clung to Sejun’s knee as if it was a matter of course and shouted in agreement.

nAfter reaching the brewery, Sejun and the monkeys began cleaning the jars Theo had brought. They had to dry them tonight to start the base alcohol brewing process the next morning.

nAbout three hours after cleaning the jars,

n“Meaaawn…. Chairman Park, are we done yet, meow?”

nTheo, who was dozing off hanging on Sejun’s knee, asked languidly with a big yawn.

n“We’re done now. Let’s go to bed.”

nAfter cleaning the last jar, Sejun returned home with Theo, concluding the 339th day of being stranded.

n***

nThe next morning.

nThud. Thud.

n“Chairman Park, wake up, meow!”

nFor some reason, Theo woke up unusually early and began kneading Sejun’s face to wake him up.

n“Ugh… What is it?”

nAs Sejun opened his eyes,

n“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, look at this, meow! I brought something good, meow!”

nTheo offered Sejun a golden bead that he had brought from the ghost warehouse.

n“Oh?! What’s this?!”

nUpon seeing the golden bead, Sejun immediately recalled the inner core of the giant electric eel he had eaten before, which tasted like orange soda.

nGulp.

nSejun swallowed his saliva and hurriedly checked the inner core.

nInner Core of the Deep Sea Giant Electric Eel

n→ This is the inner core of a giant electric eel that has lived in the deep sea of the dimension’s ocean for 2000 years.

n→ It is imbued with the power of electricity, giving off a golden glow.

n→ Upon consumption, you can awaken Talent: Zapp.

n→ Usage Restriction: Magic power of 100 or more

n→ Grade: A

n“Oh! I can eat this!”

nWithout looking at any other explanation and confirming that he met the usage restriction, Sejun immediately swallowed the inner core.

nSsshhhhh.

nThe deep sea’s giant electric eel’s core transformed into a liquid, delivering a sweet orange taste and a refreshing sensation to Sejun’s mouth.

nGulp.

n“Keuh…!”

nAs Sejun was enjoying the exhilarating aftertaste…

nYou have consumed the Inner core of the deep sea’s giant electric eel.

nTalent: Zapp has been awakened.

nA message that he had acquired a talent appeared.

n“Zapp?”

nSejun checked his talent.

nTalent: Zapp

n– A talent that allows you to use electricity more skillfully.

n– You can create a slight electric charge by rubbing your palms together.

n“Electricity?”

nSssshhhhh.

nAfter reading the explanation, Sejun vigorously rubbed his palms together to try and generate electricity.

nCrackle. Crackle.

nStatic electricity began to form on Sejun’s palms.

n“It works!”

nSssshhhhh.

nAs Sejun confirmed that electricity was being created in his palms, he rubbed them faster. It felt like real electricity would be generated if he just rubbed with a bit more effort.

nThen,

nKrueng?

nBig brother, did Dad do something wrong to you?

nCuengi, who came looking for breakfast, saw Theo and the diligently begging1 Sejun, who was vigorously rubbing his palms, and asked as if he knew it.

nDad definitely ate something delicious alone!

nIt was an unjust morning for Sejun.

nTL Notes:

n1) The action of rubbing hands together in front of someone is a gesture someone makes when they have done something wrong, which is normally seen in K-dramas. If you haven’t seen it, you can check the GIF below or read about it here: http:
