Chapter 372: Didn’t Know He Would Plant Them Right Away
TL: Hanguk
White Tower’s Administrator Area.
“Here. Drink up!”
“Kahahaha! Yes! Let’s drink!”
With a smile on his face, Kellion poured Samyangju into Grave’s empty glass.
But despite Kellion’s smiling expression, his insides were rotting away.
Of course, it was understandable. He had been sharing his precious Samyangju with Grave for three days already.
While waiting for Sejun to harvest crops to revive the dead land, he had brought Grave to the White Tower and was drinking with him…
By now, there were over 2000 empty bottles of Samyangju rolling around.
‘Stop drinking so much! Eat some snacks too!’
Kellion sipped a bit of Samyangju and glared at Grave with a murderous look.
But this clueless guy was just drinking straight Samyangju without even touching the snacks.
To make him drink the Samyangju slowly, Kellion had even brought out roasted frog legs, a snack enjoyed by the inhabitants of the White Tower…
But after taking one bite of the frog leg and grimacing, Grave was only drinking Samyangju.
Of course, he didn’t eat the snacks himself either.
But that was because his palate had been spoiled by Sejun’s snacks. He used to enjoy those snacks with his drinks.
‘But this guy who hasn’t even tasted Sejun’s snacks…’
Kellion found Grave, who hadn’t even tasted Sejun’s snacks but was picky about his food, extremely annoying.
While Kellion was giving Grave a disapproving look,
“Kellion, pour me another.”
Grave, having downed his Samyangju in one shot, held out his empty glass. The host had only sipped, yet this guy was doing shots?! Really a clueless bastard.
‘Kellion, hang in there! The VIP status at the Dragon Market is not far off!’
Kellion clenched his fists unconsciously and then relaxed them, steeling his resolve.
Then,
“Wahaha. Yes, drink up!”
Putting on a service smile, he poured more Samyangju into Grave’s glass.
‘I should ask Sejun once more.’
At the same time, he sent the white dragon statue to find Sejun.

..
.
Sejun harvested cherries from two cherry trees that had rapidly grown using the Harvest Elixir.
After a while,
“Hehehe. It’s done.”
Sejun looked at the basket full of cherries with a satisfied smile.
Thanks to using
And then,
Your soul feels fulfilled from the abundant harvest.
Mental strength has increased by 2.
His mental strength increased. Material abundance enriched his spirit.
“Aileen, here are some cherries.”
After sending cherries for Aileen to eat,
“Shall I try one?”
He put a cherry in his mouth.
Then,
You have consumed Thick Darkness Cherry.
A slight power of darkness accumulates in your body.
Your Destructive power has slightly increased.
Messages appeared.
“Good. I’ve become stronger.”
Feeling ‘very slightly’ stronger, Sejun rotated his right arm.
And then,
Kyurorong.
“Hehehe. Super weakling Blackie, the gap between us has grown wider now.”
Looking down at Fenrir sleeping soundly in the sling bag, he felt smug. Sejun was very happy to have Fenrir, who was weaker than him.
Sejun ate a few more cherries and then said,
“Now, let’s go harvest Sunflower Seeds!”
He headed to the lushly blooming sunflower field and began harvesting sunflower seeds.
And following that, harvesting the Kidney Bean of Soil Fertility as well,
“Kaiser~nim, here are 3500 Thick Darkness Cherries.”
Sejun went to find Kaiser and handed over the remaining cherries.
– Hahaha. Thank you! Take this!
Kaiser handed Sejun 3.5 billion Tower Coins. Each cherry was worth 100,000 Tower Coins.
After delivering the cherries to Kaiser,
“Where should I look for Kellion?”
As Sejun was about to search for Kellion,
-Sejun-ah…
Kellion, who had been hiding in the cherry tomato field, called out to Sejun in a quiet voice as he passed by.
“Oh, Kellion~nim, I was just looking for you.”
-Really? Could it be that the crop to revive the dead land is finally ready?
“Yes. Here.”
Sejun handed him the Kidney Bean of Soil Fertility.
-Oh! Finally…
Kellion, excitedly looking at the Kidney Bean of Soil Fertility, hurriedly swallowed them and sent them to his main body.
And then,
-Wahaha. Thank you, Sejun! Aileen!
He called out to Aileen and disappeared. He intended to get a contract from Aileen and make a deal with Grave immediately.
“…I guess I’ll give him the sunflower seeds a bit later.”
It was obvious that he would rush back soon to increase his cumulative purchase amount.
Sejun put the sunflower seeds in his pocket and
Nom.
You have consumed Aileen’s Healthier Meatball Piece.
You must eat all the Pieces to get the effect.
75 pieces remaining.
He had a simple lunch with three pieces of meatball that Aileen had made for him.
Slurp.
“Ah. Nice.”
While Sejun was taking a break, drinking coffee after his lunch,
“Congratulations, Grandpa Kellion, on becoming a VIP of the Dragon Market.”
Kellion handed the signed contract from Grave to Aileen and became a VIP of the Dragon Market.
-Wahaha. Thank you.
Kellion was delighted at Aileen’s congratulations.
But then,
-What?! I’m not the fourth but the fifth VIP?
Kellion had to hear the shocking news.
“Yes. The fourth VIP is Grandma Brachio.”
-Don’t tell me… Brachio brought Artemis?
“No, Grandma Brachio’s cumulative purchase amount at the Dragon Market exceeded 1 trillion Tower Coins, so she became a VIP.”
-What?! You can become a VIP of the Dragon Market with a cumulative purchase amount of 1 trillion Tower Coins?
“Yes. Haven’t you heard? Now, if your cumulative purchase amount exceeds 1 trillion Tower Coins, you can become a VIP of the Dragon Market.”
“How can this be…”
Kellion, who had been hiding, finally learned that the Dragon Market regulations had changed.
He also found out that if the cumulative monthly purchase amount exceeded 300 billion Tower Coins, the VIP period would be automatically extended by 30 days.
And then,
“My Samyangju…”
What pained him the most was the 2100 bottles of Samyangju he drank to keep Grave around. During that time, Grave had drunk an additional 100 bottles of Samyangju.
***
Black Tower, 50th floor.
Theo and Piyot followed Uren to capture the debtor at the bottom of the blacklist, arriving in front of a large castle.
“Theo~nim, it’s here.”
“Puhuhut. So this is where that guy named Grol lives?”
Theo smirked as he looked at the castle gate.
“Yes. Grol is the guy who borrowed 1 trillion Tower Coins from me. Initially, the debt was 1 million Tower Coins, but…”
Uren explained how he ended up lending Grol 1 trillion Tower Coins.
“Strangely, every time Grol put his arm around my shoulder and asked, ‘Do you have any money?’, I found myself lending him money.”
“Meow?”
Piyo?
It was obvious to anyone that Uren was being extorted, but Uren looked genuinely confused.
“So nowadays, when I meet Grol, I don’t carry any money with me.”
With an innocent expression, Uren proudly shared his strategy for dealing with Grol.
Such a temptingly naive pushover, meow!
Theo was once again swayed by Uren’s gullibility. No, this wouldn’t do, meow! Chairman Park wouldn’t like this, meow!
“Hurry up and lead the way, meow!”
Theo urged Uren, steeling his resolve.
“Yes! Let’s go!”
Uren stepped forward and knocked on the castle gate.
Then,
“Well, well. Look who it is! If it isn’t my rich friend!”
With the sound of heavy footsteps, the massive door opened lightly, and Grol, a 10-meter-tall muscular hippopotamus, greeted Uren.
And then,
“My rich friend, do you have some money? I’d be pretty disappointed if you don’t…”
Grol tried to place one of his fingers on Uren’s shoulder. It wasn’t even an arm around the shoulder, just a finger.
At that moment,
“Puhuhut. Stop right there, meow!”
Theo blocked Grol’s finger with his front paw and shouted.
“Hmph! This little…”
Grol scoffed and tried to shake off Theo’s paw lightly, but.
“Ugh! What kind of strength is this…”
Grol’s finger didn’t budge.
“Puhuhut. Grol, do you have money, meow?”
“…No, I don’t.”
“Puhuhut. Think carefully before you answer, meow! If I find it, it’s 1 strike per Tower Coin, meow!”
Theo started to extort Grol.
“I really don’t have any! Go ahead and search!”
Grol, still not grasping the situation, blatantly lied and raised his voice.
But,
“Puhuhut. Don’t lie, meow!”
Theo wasn’t just any ordinary cat. In an instant, he pulled out the money pouch hidden in Grol’s clothes and checked the amount inside.
“Puhuhut. 10 billion Tower Coins, so that’s 10 billion strikes, meow! Ten Billion Meow Slaps!”
Slap! Slap!
“What?! Urgh…”
Grol, hit by Theo’s hastily created new technique, the “Ten Billion Meow Slaps”, which involved slapping 10 billion times, fainted.
“I could only hit him 100 million times, meow! What a shame, meow!”
Theo regretted not being able to complete the 10 billion strikes as Grol fainted before he could finish.
Piyihihit.
Press.
Meanwhile, Piyot stamped Grol’s finger on the slave contract while he was unconscious.
And then,
“Um… Theo~nim, can I hit him too…”
Gaining courage from seeing Grol faint, Uren bought the right to hit Grol 100 times for 10 billion Tower Coins from Theo.
“You bad guy! Why am I your friend?! Huh?! Do you know how much I didn’t want to lend you money!!!”
Thwack! Thwack!
While Uren, who claimed to have lent the money, was hitting Grol with all his might,
“Puhuhut. Found it, meow!”
Theo found Grol’s secret stash and split the 1 trillion Tower Coins with Uren, fifty-fifty.
“Puhuhut. Lead me to the next closest debtor, meow!”
“Hehehe. Yes!”
Feeling a bit relieved after hitting Grol, Uren was confident that he could collect money from any opponent with Theo by his side.
So he led Theo to Iguan, who was fifth on the blacklist.
Next to the name Iguan, an amount of 4.3 trillion Tower Coins was written.
***
Slurp.
-Sejun-ah!
As expected…
Sejun, who was drinking coffee, put down his cup when he saw Kellion, who had become a VIP of the Dragon Market, coming to find him.
It was probably to extend his VIP period and to be the first to become a VVIP.
Sejun sold 4,000 sunflower seeds, along with Samyangju and Transcendence Black Beans, to Kellion for 300 billion Tower Coins.
And then,
-Hey guys! I’m here! I’m also a VIP too!
No longer needing to hide, Kellion shouted with a voice full of resentment as he flew to the fountain where other dragon statues were gathered.
After finishing the transaction with Kellion and about to start his afternoon farming,
It has been confirmed that Orik, the Tower Farmer of the Brown Tower, has planted Kidney Bean of Soil Fertility without permission.
…
According to the Tower’s laws, Brown Tower’s Tower Farmer Orik will become a slave of the Black Tower’s Tower Farmer Park Sejun for the next 100 years.
Messages appeared.
“Oh.”
Come to think of it, when Sejun handed the Kidney Bean of Soil Fertility to Kellion, he didn’t give permission to plant them. He certainly didn’t do it on purpose to make a slave.
‘I just gave them for him to check, I didn’t know he would plant them right away.’
Thanks to that, Orik, the Tower Farmer of the Brown Tower, became Sejun’s fifth slave.
According to the Job Trait, you borrow 0.2% of Orik’s stats, the Tower Farmer of the Brown Tower.
Strength increased by 10, Stamina by 7, Agility by 17, and Magic Power by 16.
Messages indicating the stat increase appeared.
“Oh my, I feel bad about this.”
Sejun felt sorry for Orik, the Tower Farmer of the Brown Tower.
But,
“Hehehe.”
Laughter spilled from his mouth. It was indeed befitting of Chairman Park, who commanded Vice Chairman Theo.
At that moment,
You have achieved the feat of commanding five Tower Farmers.
A message appeared that made Sejun laugh even more.
