Chapter 49: Creating Thunder Clouds

nTL: Hanguk
nAs soon as the Blue Moon ended, Sejun went to the green onion field on the ground.
nA few days ago, he planted a few detoxifying green onions in part of the green onion field and had been cutting the leaves and dividing the growing roots to plant more. He needed an detoxifying green onion for every meal in order to eat seafood outside the pond.
nAnd the result of the division and planting was fortunately successful. The roots of the green onions planted by division from the detoxifying green onion grew as the same grade detoxifying green onion. It was possible to duplicate items.
nSo he checked to see if there were any detoxifying green onions containing the energy of the Blue Moon among the detoxifying green onions, but
n“There’s none.”
nAs he thought, there were no detoxifying green onions containing the energy of the Blue Moon.
nUnlike other crops, green onions didn’t contain the energy of the Blue Moon. Was the condition not right?
n“Let’s get to work.”
nSejun, who had been thinking, began to cut the lush green onion leaves that had grown overnight. It was almost morning, so it was an awkward time to sleep.
nAfter about 30 minutes,
nThud. Thud.
nGrrr!
nCuengi (Baby Bear), who came to work with mother Crimson Giant Bear, greeted Sejun by waving his two front paws.
nThen
nGrrr?!
nSniff sniff.
nCuengi (Baby Bear) approached Sejun and began to sniff vigorously near Sejun’s face.
n“Why…why are you doing that?”
nSejun, feeling guilty, tried to retreat, but
nPlop.
nCuengi (Baby Bear) grabbed Sejun’s shoulder to prevent him from running away.
nThen
nSniff sniff.
nHe persistently sniffed around Sejun’s mouth.
nGrrr!
nDad’s mouth smells like honey!
nGrrr?
nDid you eat honey alone?
n“······”
nSejun’s perfect crime began to shake violently with Sejun’s pupils.
n“Cuengi (Baby Bear), shall we eat something delicious?”
nSejun quickly changed the direction of the conversation and brought boiled potatoes from the cave.
nThen
n“This is a honey potato.”
nSejun placed 5 boiled potatoes on the green onion leaves and generously poured honey over them.
nYou have made 5 power honey potatoes.
nYour Cooking Lv. 1 proficiency has increased slightly.
nDue to the effect of Cooking Lv. 1, the taste and effect of Power Honey Potatoes have increased slightly.
n“Here, eat it.”
nCuengi (Baby Bear) swallowed the honey potatoes that Sejun had made, along with the green onion leaves.
nChew chew.
n“Want more?”
nGrrr!
nAt Sejun’s words, Cuengi (Baby Bear) nodded his head strongly.
nThe moment Cuengi (Baby Bear) tasted the honey potato, the fact that Sejun’s mouth smelled like honey wasn’t important. Sejun was barely able to keep Cuengi’s (Baby Bear) mouth shut with the honey potatoes.
nAnd a while later, the rabbits woke up and ate Blue Moon Energy-imbued cherry tomatoes and roasted sweet potatoes, starting a busy morning.
n***
n1st floor of the tower, Gagel’s tower farm project headquarters.
nIn the headquarters’ yard, about 6000 cherry tomatoes that were successfully germinated from the seeds of D-grade magic power cherry tomatoes had already grown up to ankle height.
n“Come on, move quickly!”
nTeam leader Thomas was urging the researchers who were diluting the high-concentration growth stimulant with water. The reason why cherry tomatoes could grow so fast was thanks to the growth stimulant developed by Gagel.
nAlthough the product was too expensive to commercialize compared to its effect, they were spraying the cherry tomato field without sparing the growth stimulant in order to check the results quickly under the direction of Vice Chairman Michael.
nThey didn’t even know what kind of result it would make…
nSquirm.
nThe stem of the cherry tomato moved slightly, but no one among the researchers noticed it.
n***
nIn the late afternoon after lunch, a strange atmosphere began to flow in the green onion field.
nSwish. Swish.
nSejun’s face hardened as he cut the green onion leaves.
nSqueak. Squeak.
nOn the contrary, the faces of the Sickle Rabbit and the red-dotted rabbit among the second-generation offspring were full of smiles. Between the two flowed a pink aura. The two rabbits were in love.
nSqueak.
nThe mother rabbit seemed pleased, as if it was a good time, looking at the two of them. 𝘪.𝑐ℴ𝘮
nHowever,
n“These guys, in this sacred workplace!”
nSejun couldn’t look at them fondly. This was definitely not because he felt sick or felt uncomfortable. As the leader of the farm, he needed to inform them of the farm’s rule prohibiting romance during work hours.
n“Go! Cuengi (Baby Bear) ! Rolling attack!”
nGrrr!
nAt Sejun’s command, Cuengi (Baby Bear) rolled forward once and
nGrrr!
nHe chased after the Sickle Rabbit at a fast speed, aggressively picking up the green onion leaves.
nWhack!
nThe Sickle Rabbit started to cut green onion leaves in surprise at Cuengi’s (Baby Bear) charge.
nAnd
n“Go! Black Rabbit! Show your elder brother’s dignity!”
nBounce!
nAt Sejun’s command, the Black Rabbit walked towards the red-dotted Rabbit with a casual gait like a delinquent and led her to where she was watering the crops for on-site training.
nOnce the atmosphere that bothered Sejun disappeared,
n“Hmph! You kids are at least 10 years too early.”
nSejun said villain-like lines and then started working again.
nAnd
nSqueak. Squeak.
nThe mother rabbit shook her head as she watched Sejun. She was wondering who the real kid was…
nAs evening fell,
nRoar.
nGrrr!
nThe mother Crimson Giant Bear took Cuengi (Baby Bear) home.
nAnd
nMooh!
nWoocheon Sam (Minotaur 1003), representing the other Black Minotaurs, informed Sejun that it was time to leave work.
n“Right. You did well. Take that pile of green onion leaves over there.”
nMooh!
nWoocheon Sam (Minotaur 1003) was happy at Sejun’s words and picked up a pile of green onion leaves and went off duty.
n“We should clock out too.”
nSqueak!
nWhack!
nAt Sejun’s words, the rabbits finished their work and started to go down to the cave.
n“Is the work done now, meow?”
nTheo approached to claim Sejun’s empty lap.
n“President Theo, where have you been playing?! Do you want to get fired again?!”
n“No, meow! I was cleaning up the bag, meow! And I found this in the bag, meow!”
nTheo handed over an item he got for free from the blacksmith’s corner to Sejun, looking wronged.
n“This is?!”
nIt was a necklace with a small yellow gemstone.
nScratched Gem Necklace
n→ ???
n→ Usage Restriction: None
n→ Creator: Confidential
n→ Grade: E
nAs the name suggests, there were many scratches on the gem.
n“Aileen, can you appraise this?”
nThe Tower’s Administrator says leave it to them.
nA quest has been generated.
nAileen took the necklace and appraised it.
nThe Tower’s Administrator says it’s useless, but it’s not dangerous.
nIn return for receiving the necklace, she requested cherry tomatoes.
n“Here are 20 cherry tomatoes.”
nSejun gave Aileen 20 cherry tomatoes, and the necklace appeared in Sejun’s hand.
nYou have acquired the Appraised Necklace – Necklace of Light as a quest completion reward.
n“Necklace of Light?”
nSejun checked the options of the necklace.
nNecklace of Light
n→ It’s a necklace with light magic inscribed on an amber gem.
n→ Usage Restrictions: Lv. 5 and above, Magic Power 3 and above
n→ Creator: Horin, the Green Tower’s magician
n→ Grade: C
n→ Skill: Light Lv. 1
nLight Lv. 1
n→ When you use the skill, it brightens up the surroundings.
n→ The higher the wearer’s magic power, the stronger the light.
n“How is it, meow? I didn’t particularly like anything in the draw, but I picked it up because it was free, meow…”
nTheo spoke in an uncertain voice to Sejun who was checking the necklace he had appraised.
n“As expected, the golden paw.”
n“Meow?”
nTheo’s drawing ability was impressive. The Necklace of Light had a feature that Sejun needed. That was the Light skill, which emits light.
nAlthough he wanted to eat the eel’s core, he had been enduring it because if he ate the eel’s core himself, the black rabbit would lose the way to get seafood from outside the pond…
nIf he used the Light skill built into the magic necklace, everything would be solved. He needs to check the brightness first…
n“Besides, that’s amazing.”
nTheo’s golden paw was a perfect high-end item detector that did not even go below grade C.
n“What, meow?!”
nAs Sejun looked at him with displeasure, Theo anxiously clung to Sejun’s lap.
n“Come here.”
n“Why, meow?”
n“Gotcha!”
nSejun grabbed Theo’s body with both hands, lifted him, and moved Theo’s front paw back and forth as if detecting pulse, and roamed around.
n“How about it? Is there a place your foot is attracted to?”
nSejun asked as he carried Theo around for about 3 minutes. He was planning to stop and go down to the cave now since it was a joke.
nHowever,
n“Keep walking, meow.”
n“Okay.”
nAs Theo replied with a concentrated expression with his eyes closed, Sejun thought that Theo was seriously searching for items and walked around diligently.
n‘Phoohoot. So this is how it feels to be carried? It feels good, meow.’
nIf Sejun knew what Theo was feeling, he would have stopped, but Sejun didn’t have the ability to read minds.
nSo they walked for about 10 minutes, but Theo’s front paw was quiet.
n“Let’s eat.”
nHungry, Sejun brought Theo down to the cave.
n“President Park, let’s do it again next time, meow.”
nOnly Theo was satisfied with those 10 minutes.
nFor dinner, they had baked sweet potatoes and grilled fish.
nAs soon as the meal was over,
n“Here, try wearing this.”
nSejun handed the Necklace of Light to the black rabbit.
n“But your magic power is over 3, right?”
nSqueak!
nSwoosh. Swoosh.
nIn response to Sejun’s question, the black rabbit squeaked as if to say don’t underestimate him and wrote his magic power number on the dirt floor with his front paw.
n“Wha?!”
nSejun was surprised to see that the black rabbit’s magic power was much higher than his own.
nMeanwhile,
nFlash.
nThe black rabbit, who wore the necklace, used the necklace’s skill to light up the surroundings.
nAnd then,
nSplash.
nThe black rabbit, using the Light skill, jumped into the pond and went out through the hole and returned.
n“How about it? Can you see well?”
nSqueak!
nIn response to Sejun’s question, the black rabbit nodded. It sees well!
n“Really?”
nIn response to the black rabbit’s answer, Sejun picked up the gigantic electric eel’s core. Finally, it was time to eat the core.
nCrunch.
nHe took a big bite and
nSwish.
nThe hard core turned mushy and flowed into his mouth.
n“…!”
nSejun was surprised at the unexpected taste he felt from the inner core.
nWhat?! Why does it taste like orange-flavored soda here?!
nHe felt a fizzing orange-flavored soda taste from the liquefied gigantic electric eel’s core. An image of orange Fanta came to Sejun’s mind.
nGulp.
nWhile enjoying the aftertaste,
nYou have consumed the inner core of the Giant Electric Eel.
nYou have learned Skill – Rain Thunder Lv. 1.
nA message appeared saying he had learned a skill.
n“Learned?”
nAs Sejun was feeling strange, who always saw only the message that he had acquired a skill,
nYou lack a great deal of magical power to properly use Rain Thunder Lv. 1.
nFor the user’s safety,
nFor the user’s safety,
n“What?”
nIf rain and thunder are sealed in the Rain Thunder skill, then it’s not a Rain Thunder skill!
nSejun quickly checked the skill.
nSkill – Rain Thunder Lv. 1
n→ You can create a thundercloud to use rain and thunder.
n→
n→
n→
n“Create Thundercloud.”
nAs Sejun used the skill,
nFluffy fluffy.
nA small thundercloud, about 1 meter above Sejun’s head, was created.
n“Uh-huh…”
nHe used a third of his magic power, but the thundercloud was much smaller than expected.
nSejun decided to be satisfied with the ability to create shade with with the cloud when resting and having tasted the orange-flavored soda.
nThen,
n“Oh great Black Dragon. We have returned.”
nThe silver wolves that had gone down to avoid the Blue Moon came back with three gray rabbits.
n*****
nGood Night!!!
