TL: Hanguk

Done. Eat up, Veronica.

Sejun placed the first finished pancake in front of Veronica,

Thank you!

Veronica eagerly began to eat the pancake.

Then,

Sejun hyung!

Ajax flew in quickly.

And,

Hyung! I upgraded this book!

Ajax boasted, showing Sejun the plant encyclopedia.

Upgrade?

Yeah! It worked when I touched it!

Click.

Sejun, not understanding what Ajax was talking about, took the book to examine it.

Experienced Farmers Plant Encyclopedia

An encyclopedia where an experienced farmer has recorded his knowledge. (Information from the White Tower has been added.)

If you write the name of a crop on an empty page, and if that crop exists within the Black Tower or White Tower, it will tell you its location.

A page cannot be reused once written on.

Pages available: 51

/250

Usage restriction: Magic power above 500, must have a farming-related job

Creator: Experienced Farmer Figaro

Grade: S

It really is.

As Ajax said, the plant encyclopedia had been upgraded.

In addition to the Black Tower, information about the White Tower had been added, and the number of usable pages had increased by 50.

Hyung! The content of the pages has changed too!

Ajax explained further as Sejun examined the plant encyclopedia.

Really?!

Swoosh.

As Sejun listened to Ajax and flipped through the pages of the plant encyclopedia,

Drowsy Lettuce White Tower 71st floor

Power Cabbage White Tower 23rd floor

Deep Darkness Cherry White Tower 83rd floor

As Ajax said, information about the White Tower had been added, and some page contents had changed.

Then,

Huh?!

Sejun paused upon seeing one of the crops.

Deep Darkness Cherry?

A name that seemed much more related to the power of darkness than the night sweet potato. He immediately felt, This is it! much stronger than he had with the night sweet potato.

But how do I get it?

Sejun wondered.

Should I send Ajax to get it? He briefly considered this idea but,

Eheh. Cuengi, is this ours?

Kuehehehe. Kueng!

Hehehe. It seems so!

Seeing Ajax, drooling next to Cuengi in front of the cooking pancakes, Sejun couldnt bring himself to trust them.

Whether they could find the cherries well, whether they could grow the cherries properly, etc.

Many worries crossed Sejuns mind. Moreover, if Ajax made a mistake and caused the cherries to go extinct, it would be a disaster.

I have to go myself.

After some thought, Sejun decided to go to the White Tower himself.

He didnt know what dangers awaited him.

He didnt want to go, but Sejun decided to muster his courage, for Aileen, to find the power of darkness.

Having made his decision, Sejun,

So, Ajax, youre saying that because you touched it, the book got upgraded like this?

asked Ajax while closing the book.

Yeah!

Ajax answered with a Didnt I do well? expression.

Yeah. You did well.

Swoosh, swoosh.

Sejun patted Ajax on the head,

Hmm hmm hmm.

Thump.

He lightly touched Veronicas robust shoulder, who was enjoying the pancake, with the plant encyclopedia.

Then,

Experienced Farmers Plant Encyclopedia has made contact with the Tower Farmer of the Purple Tower.

The crops of the Purple Tower will be added to the Experienced Farmers Plant Encyclopedia.

50 pages will be added for use.

The content of some pages will be modified.

Once again, the plant encyclopedia gets upgraded.

Wow!

Swoosh.

Sejun opened the plant encyclopedia, now thicker than before,

Paralysis Poison Barley Purple Tower 12th floor

Acidic Poison Orange Purple Tower 93rd floor

Cyanide Poison Almond Purple Tower 51st floor

Information about the Purple Tower was added, showing the locations of several crops.

As Sejun was checking the content of the plant encyclopedia,

Kueng!

Dad, the pancakes are burning!

Hyung! Its burning!

Cuengi and Ajax called out to Sejun in a panic. To them, there was nothing more serious than this.

Ah. Got it.

Sejun hurriedly grabbed the frying pan and

Flick.

flipped the pancakes with a wrist flick.

Phew.

Fortunately, only the edges were slightly burnt and not much damage was done.

After a while,

Here. Lets eat.

Sejun cut off the burnt parts of the pancake, placed it on a plate, and brought it over,

Kuehehehe. Kueng!

Hehehe. It looks delicious!

Cuengi attempted to pour honey over the pancakes, holding a jar filled with honey.

But

Click.

Wait! What are you doing?!

Ajax grabbed Cuengis front paw to stop him from pouring the honey. Why would you pour honey over it?!

Kueng? Kueng!

Why? It tastes good this way!

No! Thats too sweet!

Kueng!

Honey is supposed to be sweet!

No! Balance is important in everything! If one taste is too strong, it overshadows the others!

Kueng! Kueng!

No! Everything should be eaten with honey!

Then lets ask Sejun hyung to see whos right!

Kueng!

Alright!

Unable to agree, they decided to ask Sejun what was correct.

And

Why worry about such things? Just eat it however you want to eat it. Here. Is this okay?

Sejun cut the pancake in half and placed it on their plates to mediate the fight.

Kuehehehe. Kueng!

Hehehe. Its delicious!

Eheh. Delicious!

Thanks to that, Cuengi and Ajax enjoyed the pancakes their way.

Meanwhile, Sejun kept making pancakes, and as the eating speed of Cuengi, Ajax, and Veronica slowed down,

Should I try eating now?

Sejun also sat down with a cup of coffee and a pancake he had set aside earlier.

And

Dunk.

Sejun dipped the pancake in honey and ate it.

Eheh. I knew Sejun hyung and I get along well.

Ajax, who had been silently watching how Sejun ate, began eating his pancake again with a contented expression.

After dinner,

Ajax, please ask Kellion~nim to get us the land deed for the White Towers 83rd floor.

Okay! Got it!

Ajax nodded earnestly at Sejuns words.

Sejun sent Ajax to Kellion to acquire the land deed for the White Tower.

There were several methods, but none as easy and fast as this. Go, Ajax!

Grandpa!

Swoosh.

Ajax energetically flew towards the fountain, calling for Kellion.

A little later,

Sejun hyung! I told grandfather to get us the land deed by tomorrow morning!

Ajax returned after unilaterally declaring this to Kellion.

Good job.

Sejun said, looking at the fountain, where only the statue of the white dragon seemed to have stopped alone.

He must be hurrying his subordinates to acquire the land deed for the towers 83rd floor. It should be fine, right?

Thus, Sejun gave Kellion an urgent mission through Ajax.

Tap. Tap.

You have obtained Stamina Corn Seeds.

Your job experience slightly increase.

Your proficiency in Seed Harvesting Lv. 8 has slightly increased.

You need to use the Seed Harvesting skill 671,178 more times to complete the job quest.

..

.

Sejun spent time harvesting corn until bedtime.

And

Kuehehehe. Kueng!

Hehehe. Delicious!

Eheh. Tasty.

Cuengi and Ajax were eating the corn kernels harvested by Sejun when

Kurorong.

Arolong.

They fell asleep next to Sejun.

Sejun, unaware of this, continued to harvest.

Huh?! You guys are sleeping?

He belatedly put the two to bed,

Hehehe. Are we all sleeping together tonight?

Sejun lay down in the middle of the bed and fell asleep.

Day 368 in the tower. Another day passed safely.

***

White Tower.

-The great white dragon Kellion Mamebe commands! Find the land deed for the towers 83rd floor by tomorrow morning!

Yes!

The five strong beings of the White Tower, upon receiving Kellions orders,

began the search for the land deed of the towers 83rd floor, cutting through the darkness without sleep.

And 𝘪.𝑐ℴ𝘮

According to information, a merchant named Caon purchased the land deed for the towers 83rd floor a year ago!

A clue to the elusive land deed of the towers 83rd floor.

Then lets go find Caon!

Yes!

However,

What? Caon has been missing for half a year?!

Caon was already missing.

What do we do?!

Its almost morning.

With less than an hour left until morning, there wasnt enough time to track down Caon.

The countdown was approaching.

The strong beings of the White Tower trembled in fear, thinking of the great white dragons impending rage.

***

The next morning.

Alright!

Sejun woke up.

Swoosh.

Meow

After stretching and putting Theo on his lap,

Kurorong.

Kkirorong.

Arolong.

Pirorong.

He left the animals snoring peacefully and marked the date on the wall before heading outside.

And

Hmm hmm hmm.

The Agility Carrot are grateful for the farmers footsteps and lend their strength.

The potential of the Agility stat increases from 857 to 858.

Sejun, walking through the farm, increased his potential.

Then

Kkieek!

A fire ant approached Sejun with a bold stride.

Huh?! You are?

Sejun was startled to see the approaching fire ant.

It was a fire ant that followed Sejun after Youre a Field! was used, changing its pheromones.

Swoosh.

The fire ant showed its back to Sejun, indicating it had something. I have an elixir!

Whoosh.

With overflowing confidence, the fire ant shot flames into the sky with its antennae.

Are you that confident?

Kkieek!

Whoosh.

The fire ant responded to Sejuns question by emitting stronger flames.

Oh. Is that so?

Sejun looked at the elixir growing on the fire ants back.

A different appearance from other mushrooms, with thin orange stems numbering in the hundreds.

Whats this?

Tap.

Sejun, curious, harvested the elixir.

Supreme Elixir: Cordyceps harvested. 𝘳𝑎.𝗇t

You job experience points slightly increase.

Your proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 8 slightly increases.

You have gained 1500 experience points.

Experience points do not accumulate as the job quest has not been completed.

Cordyceps?

Sejun hurriedly checked the options.

Supreme Elixir: Cordyceps

Cultivated by the tower farmers tenant fire ant.

Boasts excellent taste and fragrance.

Consumption increases all stats by 20.

Cultivator: Tower Farmer Park Sejuns tenant fire ant.

Shelf life: 150 days.

Grade: A

The fire ant had every reason to be confident.

Oh! Well done, fire ant!

Sejun praised the fire ant, thinking that he should tame more fire ants.

As Sejun harvested the cordyceps and returned home,

-Ajax, Im sorry. We havent found the land deed for the towers 83rd floor yet.

Kellion spoke, avoiding Ajaxs gaze.

And

Hmph! Im disappointed! Im not talking to grandpa anymore!

Ajax turned his head away, showing his sulking side. Im mad at Grandpa! After all the fuss I made in front of Sejun hyung

Thus, the grandchild-grandparent relationship became strained again.

-These children

Just as Kellion was about to take his anger out on the five who disobeyed his command,

Ajax, you shouldnt behave like that with Grandpa. Apologize to him right now.

Sejun scolded Ajax in a stern voice.

This was a situation caused by himself. It was right for him to step in and mend their relationship.

But I wanted to get the land deed for hyung

Feeling wronged that Sejun wasnt taking his side, tears welled up in Ajaxs eyes. I did it for Sejun hyung

I know how you feel, Ajax. But you shouldnt act that way towards Grandpa. Go on, give him a hug.

Okay. Im sorry, Grandpa.

Following Sejuns words, Ajax hugged Kellion and apologized.

Kellion~nim, Im sorry. It was presumptuous of me to ask

Sejun also apologized to Kellion, acknowledging his own part in the situation.

-Euheuheuheu. No, its fine. Ill keep looking for the land deed.

Kellion, energized by Ajaxs hug, dismissed the matter nonchalantly.

Thanks to that, the strong beings of the White Tower were able to avoid the wrath of the great white dragon.

Thus, Sejun mediated a reconciliation between Kellion and Ajax.

Alright, guys, were about to leave, so hurry inside.

Sejun said as he opened the void storage.

It was to use the land deeds Theo had brought for the towers 70th and 81st floors to harvest night sweet potatoes and the pear of strength and stamina.

Puhuhut. Got it, meow!

Kueng!

Got it!

Okay! Hyung!

Piyo!

Yes!

As Theo, Cuengi, Ajax, and Piyot entered the void storage,

Then Ill close the door

Sejun was about to close the door.

When

Kking?! Kking!

Where are you going?! Take me with you!

Thud, thud.

Fenrir hurried over. Having grown overnight, his stride had quickened.

Our Blackie wants to go too?

Kking?!

If you go, who will protect me?!

Fenrir, biting Sejuns hem, showed his determination to go along.

Alright. Lets go together.

Click.

Sejun picked up Fenrir and placed him inside the void storage.

And

Swoosh.

Sejun disappeared as he unfolded the land deed for the towers 70th floor.
