nTL: Hanguk

nWoo Cheon-sam, where are you going?

nHis colleague Woo Cheon-sa asked, as Woo Cheon-sam had been leaving for the wasteland area early every morning for the past three days.

n“I’m going to eat delicious food!”

nWoo Cheon-sam replied cheerfully, as he was very happy that he could eat grass for lunch every day. He had completely forgotten about repaying his debts and the orders of the Minotaur King.

n“Delicious food?!”

n“Yes! If I overturn the ground with my horns and then cover it again, they give me food.”

n“I want to eat too! Can I come with you?”

nWoo Cheon-sa got up excitedly.

n“Sure! Let’s go together!”

nWoo Cheon-sam took the new worker, Woo Cheon-sa, and went to work at Sejun’s cave.

n***

nGrrr!

nSejun woke up to the sound of the baby bear’s cry.

nAnd then,

nShwoosh.

nHe drew a line on the cave wall and started the morning of the 195th day of being stranded.

nAs Sejun climbed up the rope to reach the ground and give instructions to Woo Cheon-sam, the Black Minotaur, for the morning,

n“Huh?!”

nEummu!

nEummu!

nTwo Black Minotaurs were waiting for Sejun. There was one more. The reason Sejun could distinguish between the two was because of the different markings on their shoulders.

nWhile Sejun was thinking about what was happening,

nNod.

nThe Black Minotaur, who came with Woo Cheon-sam, bowed its head to Sejun in greeting.

nEummu!

n“Woo Cheon-sam asks if his colleague, Woo Cheon-sa, can also work and eat here, meow.”

nTheo, who had been hanging on Sejun’s leg, translated Woo Cheon-sam’s words.

n“Okay. I can provide food, but I can’t pay wages. Ask if he’s okay with that.”

n“Got it, meow.”

nTheo passed Sejun’s words to Woo Cheon-sa. For Sejun, it wasn’t urgent to create a farm right now, so there was no reason to hire an additional Black Minotaur with payment.

nEummu!

nHaving come to eat, Woo Cheon-sa readily nodded and accepted. Thus, the two Black Minotaurs started to work hard, overturning the ground.

nEummuoh!

nListening to the sound of the two Black Minotaurs turning the soil, Sejun went down to the cave.

nAnd he decided to split and plant the roots of the green onions that had been neglected for some time.

nTo prevent moisture from evaporating, he needed to cover the surface field, and if he needed to feed two workers of huge size, it was necessary to increase the production of green onion leaves.

nSo far, the number of green onions has always been abundant, so there was no need to increase it. However, the more you cut the green onions, the more the roots would multiply. Green onions had the potential to increase their numbers as much as he wanted if he set his mind to it.

nSejun began separating the roots of the green onions he had originally planted when he was stranded. The roots of the green onions had thickened to the size of a tumbler, and there were nearly 30 roots.

nWith those green onion roots, Sejun came up to the surface and went to the ground that Woo Cheon-sam had overturned and tilled the day before to create a field and plant the spring onion roots.

nThe reason why he planted green onions on the surface was to avoid the hassle of bringing green onion leaves up from the cave.

nOnce the green onion roots were planted, the size of the green onion field on the surface increased by about 20 times compared to the green onion field in the cave.

nYou have created a 200 square meter green onion field.

nYou have gained 200 experience points.

nIf he continues to divide and plant whenever the roots grow, he could quickly create a green onion field that is several times larger than the current size.

nJust one problem needs to be solved.

nShhh.

nSejun looked at the rabbits watering the green onion field. The number of watering cans was fixed, so he couldn’t water all the crops.

nSo currently, Sejun is solving the problem by bringing pond water directly from the cave, but that also had its limits.

nAs Sejun was contemplating how to solve the water problem,

nFlash.

nThe body of the husband rabbit shone brightly. And just like the hammer of the black rabbit changed, the husband rabbit’s watering can transformed, and the part that holds the water got bigger.

n“That’s the second awakening.”

nThe term ‘second awakening’ was a name Sejun attached to differentiate when rabbits level up and when their equipment grows. Rabbits that have undergone the second awakening have significantly better abilities than before.

nSqueak…

nThe husband rabbit, who finished the second awakening, looked at his transformed watering can with pride.

n“How is it? Has the water capacity increased a lot?”

nSejun asked with a voice full of anticipation.

nSqueak!

nThe husband rabbit nodded his head vigorously and put up two fingers. Doubled!

n“Oh!”

nThanks to the husband rabbit’s second awakening, there would be no water shortage for a while. With the water problem solved, Sejun’s farm began to grow once again.

n***

n197th day of being stranded.

n“Let’s eat!”

nToday, the baby rabbits came up to the surface for the first time to have a meal together.

nAnd as soon as the meal was over

nGrrr!

nThe baby bear greeted the baby rabbits, who are younger than him, first, as if he was glad to meet them.

nPyaang!

nPyab!

nPyaat!

nThe baby rabbits, unafraid of Baby bear’s massive size, approached Baby bear and began to play together.

nKkueong!

nAs an older brother, Baby bear seemed eager to teach what he knew, so he took the baby rabbits to the field and taught them how to plant. He explained that if you plant here, more will come out later.

n“Teaching planting to white rabbits that have a farmer’s blood.”

nWhile drinking coffee, Sejun watched Baby bear and the baby rabbits with interest. Of course, while Sejun was resting and drinking coffee, Theo and the black rabbit each took a spot on his lap and were taking a nap.

nPyaang?

nOne of the baby rabbits, having listened to Baby bear’s explanation, pulled out a dried sweet potato from the leather pouch bag and planted it in the ground.

nKkueeeet!

nThe Baby bear laughed at the baby rabbit. He seemed to have forgotten his own past when he had planted sweet potatoes and piranhas.

nWhile they were enjoying such a peaceful rest time

nBuzz. Buzz.

nThey heard the sound of baby poisonous honeybee’s wings.

n“Huh?”

nSejun wore a puzzled expression. This is because the poisonous honeybees do not let the baby poisonous honeybees out of the cave where they can be in danger. What is it?

nAs Sejun looked towards where the sound was coming from

nBuzz. Buzz.

nSeven baby poisonous honeybees were flying around the beehive built on the rock. The first baby poisonous honeybees had finally been born from the second hive.

nSejun put down the sleeping black rabbit and Theo on the floor and approached the baby poisonous honeybees.

nBuzz. Buzz.

nThanks to being recognized as the owner of the queen poisonous honeybee, even without the queen’s education, the baby poisonous honeybees came close without being wary of Sejun and showed affection.

n“Guys, let’s go eat something delicious.”

nSejun led the baby poisonous honeybees down into the cave. He took them to where the flowers were and let the baby poisonous honeybees suck nectar.

nBuzz. Buzz.

nThe existing poisonous honeybees showed a wary attitude at the appearance of other faction’s poisonous honeybees, but as soon as they saw Sejun with them, they relaxed their guard and sucked the nectar again.

nThat’s how the baby poisonous honeybees born from the second beehive settled in. In the future, the production of honey will also increase, and finally, a means to expand the activity area Sejun had in mind is being formed.

nSejun started to smoothly manage the beehive.

nIn the afternoon, he cut the green onion leaves to cover the field, went down to the cave, and started harvesting cherry tomatoes.

nWhile Sejun was harvesting cherry tomatoes,

nYou have simultaneously harvested 8 well-ripened magical cherry tomatoes.

nYour job experience increases slightly.

nYour proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 4 increases slightly.

nDue to the effect of Proficiency Increase Lv. 1, the proficiency of Harvesting Lv. 4 increases by an additional 5%.

nYou have gained 176 experience points.

nYou have leveled up.

nYou have acquired 1 bonus stat.

nSejun’s level increased to 17. Since he had not yet felt a lack of strength or stamina, he invested his bonus stat in agility to increase his working speed.

nAs evening fell,

nGrowwwlll.

nThe mother Crimson Giant Bear came to pick up her baby bear, and

nMoo!

nMoo!

nThe two Black Minotaurs ended their work for the day.

n“Representative Theo, isn’t it about time to go down for trade?”

nSejun, who was stroking Theo’s head on his lap after dinner, asked. Under normal circumstances, he would have let Theo play for a few more days, but it was time to send regards to his family.

n“I want to go down, but I can’t, meow!”

n“What do you mean?”

n“On the way here…”

nTheo talked about being attacked by wolves.

n“The wolves tried to eat me asking about the straw hat, meow.”

n“This straw hat?”

nAre there other people farming on different floors? Sejun touched the straw hat he was wearing and asked. It was a relic and had good effects, but it was an item with unnecessary options if you were not a farmer.

n“That’s right, meow! So, I can’t go down, meow!”

n“Don’t worry. How dare they target our Representative Theo! I’ll take care of it.”

nHow dare they target Theo’s life! Sejun was furious and thought of a strong solution.

n“How will you do it, meow?”

n“We have Woo Cheon-sam, don’t we? Representative Theo, can you hire a free mercenary?”

n“I can, meow!”

n“Then hire Woo Cheon-sam as a free mercenary and have him go down and come back.”

nThose who are hired as mercenaries for a wandering merchant can use the merchant route while being hired as a free mercenaries.

nIt would be great if Sejun could go down the tower as a free mercenary, but due to one condition, Sejun could not become a free mercenary.

nThe condition was to be born in the tower. It was a condition that could not be met unless reborn. Although he found out later, this was the same for the wandering merchants as well.

nA few professions like wandering merchants and free mercenaries were only allowed for those born in the tower. 𝑖𝘦.𝑐ℴ𝘮

n“Oh! That’s right, meow! If the wolves dare to attack this time, Woo Cheon-sam and I will teach them a lesson, meow!”

nTheo gained courage from Sejun’s words.

nSo, Theo decided to go down the tower with Woo Cheon-sam the next day and fell asleep on Sejun’s stomach.

n***

nThe next morning.

nSejun offered to reduce Woo Cheon-sam’s debt by three tower coins, three times his daily wage, if he would serve as a free mercenary and escort Theo.

nHowever,

nMoo!

nWoo Cheon-sam shook his head in refusal.

n“Why? I’m offering three times the daily wage?!”

nMoo!

n“He says he doesn’t want to leave because he wouldn’t be able to eat, meow!”

n“What?!”

nFor Woo Cheon-sam, food was more important than debt reduction.

n“Alright. I guarantee three meals a day.”

nWhen Sejun agreed to provide all three meals, .

nMoo!

nWoo Cheon-sa, who had been listening from the side, raised his hand. I’ll go too! He had to take this job opportunity where he could eat three meals a day.

n“Um… Okay. So, you’re okay with three tower coins and three meals a day, right?”

nSejun thought that if he had two Black Minotaurs, one could fight while the other protected Theo, ensuring Theo’s safety.

nMoo. Moo.

nWoo Cheon-sa shook his head. He didn’t need the money. He wanted food.

n“Alright.”

nSejun hurriedly began to cut the green onion leaves to prepare ten days’ worth of food for the two Black Minotaurs.

n“No. I should prepare for 15 days.”

nSejun added 50% more green onion leaves to Theo’s bag.

nIf the trip was extended due to unforeseen circumstances, they might run out of green onion leaves. Then the hungry Woo Cheon-sam and Woo Cheon-sa might even eat Theo.

n“Then that would be a disaster. Should I get a contract promising they won’t eat Theo?”

nWhile Sejun was pondering this, 15 days’ worth of green onion leaves for the two Black Minotaurs was packed into Theo’s bag.

nIt was a huge amount, but it only took up one third of Theo’s bag space.

n“Oh! It fits a lot?”

n“That’s right, meow! It’s because I am now Representative Theo, an intermediate wandering merchant, meow!”

nTheo proudly stated. If Theo hadn’t been promoted to a intermediate wandering merchant and his bag space hadn’t increased significantly, he might have had to carry only green onion leaves for this trip.

n“Be careful and come back safe!”

n“Then I’ll be on my way, meow!”

nOn the 198th day of being stranded, Theo left the tower with two Black Minotaurs, with Sejun seeing him off.
