nTL: Hanguk

n“Interns, this is the field where the crops we’re going to sell grow, meow!”

nTheo led the interns, introduced them to Sejun’s field, and went down to the cave’s storage.

n“Four of you interns, empty your bags. We’re going to fill the bags with cherry tomatoes, meow.”

nHowever,

nThump.

nOnly one cat immediately emptied his bag at Theo’s command.

n“Intern Jeff, who moved first, will have his contract period shortened by 10 days, meow!”

n“Th… Thank you!”

nAt Theo’s words, Jeff bowed his head to Theo in thanks. Just by emptying the bag as he was told, the contract period was shortened by 10 days.

n“What?!”

nThree cats who had been biding their time began to quickly empty their bags and fill them with cherry tomatoes after hearing that the contract period could be shortened.

n“I knew it.”

nSejun watched Theo from a distance and laughed. Theo was still naive and had no experience dealing with subordinates. Therefore, he was happily reducing the contract period whenever the interns, who had once tormented him, followed his words even a little.

nAlthough it could be argued that Theo already had wolf subordinates, but frankly, the wolves followed him on their own, and it wasn’t an exaggeration to say they were looking after Theo.

n“It was wise to set a maximum of 10 days for the reductions.”

nSejun thought it was a good idea for Theo to use the method of reducing the contract period as a means to control the cats. That way, the cats had no choice but to listen to Theo’s words, even if only to reduce their contract periods.

nThat’s why he deliberately imposed a huge contract period of 10,000 days on the cats. 10,000 days was enough for Theo to generously cut down the contract period and still maintain it for half a year.

nHowever,

n“Intern Mark filled the bag with cherry tomatoes the fastest, meow! Intern Mark’s contract period reduced by 10 days!”

n“Intern Eric just responded the loudest, meow! Intern Eric’s contract period reduced by 10 days!”

nThe period for maintaining the contract might be shorter than Sejun thought. Theo was rewarding the interns for their behaviors, finding advantages in nano-scale details.

nAfter watching for about 3 hours, Sejun decided,

n“This won’t do.”

nIn that short time, most of the interns’ contract periods had been reduced by about 300 days each. At this rate, it was only a matter of time before 10,000 days became zero.

nMaintaining the contract period for a week, let alone half a year, seemed challenging.

n“President Theo, can we talk for a bit?”

nSejun, who was just going to watch, finally couldn’t stand it and stepped forward.

n“Okay, meow!”

nAt Sejun’s call, Theo ran over quickly.

n“What’s up, meow? Is it time for Churu?”

nTheo climbed onto Sejun’s lap and asked.

n“…Yeah.”

nUnable to say no to Theo’s expectant eyes, Sejun first ripped open a Churu and handed it to Theo.

nChomp chomp chomp.

nAnd then,

n“From now on, Theo, only reduce the interns’ contract periods by one day.”

n“Got it, meow!”

nSejun limited Theo’s authority to reduce the contract periods to one day. And he agreed to consult with Sejun if Theo wanted to reduce it more.

nThe next morning,

n“President Park, we’re off!”

n“Mr. Sejun, we’re leaving.”

n“Alright. Take care.”

nSejun waved Theo and Elka off. The cats were divided into two groups.

nOren and three other cats, who had filled their bags with cherry tomatoes, followed Theo down to the 38th floor of the tower.

nThe remaining five cats, with their bags full of sturdy blade onion leaves and SeP’s soup, moved to the 67th floor of the tower with the wolves.

nThe faces of the interns moving to the 38th floor with Theo were bright, but the faces of the interns going to the 67th floor with the wolves were dark.

nIt was because the interns who were separated from Theo were upset as they were not able to get their contract periods reduced.

nAs the two groups with different destinations left all at once, the sudden emptiness of the entire area made Sejun feel a sense of void.

nAt that moment,

nKruoong!

nCuengi approached Sejun.

n“Are you trying to console me?”

nHowever,

nKruoong!

nI want a snack!

nContrary to Sejun’s thoughts, Cuengi handed him a glass bottle filled with honey. Despite the fact that honey jelly enhanced abilities, Cuengi still preferred the taste of pure honey.

n‘I can’t! You’ve gained too much weight.’ Sejun wanted to say, but he couldn’t bring himself to say it to Cuengi.

n“Alright.”

nClick.

nSejun fetched Cuengi’s honey bowl from the kitchen, opened the glass bottle, and poured in a dollop of honey.

nSlurp. Slurp.

n“Now I should get to work.”

nLeaving Cuengi licking the honey from his bowl, Sejun started his morning farm work.

nToday was the day to harvest the corn he had planted previously. Sejun began to harvest the corn planted in the cave.

nThud. Thud.

nAs he was picking the cobs covered in green leaves,

n“Huh?”

nHe spotted a corn that was different from the others, its leaves were red.

nSnap.

nWhen he plucked the red corn,

nYou harvested Exploding Stamina Corn.

nYour job experience increases slightly.

nYour proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 4 increases slightly.

nYou gained 30 experience points.

n“Exploding Stamina Corn?”

nJust by its name, it felt like it would be used for combat.

nYou have achieved the achievement of creating a new variety in the Tower.

nThe Tower acknowledges your exclusive cultivation rights for the new variety.

nWithout your permission, no one can cultivate the Exploding Stamina Corn.

nYour job experience increases greatly.

nYou have achieved the achievement of creating three new variety in the Tower.

nRumors about you spread in the Food Association.

n“Food Association?”

nThe Food Association was an association that even Theo hadn’t heard of before.

nSejun decided to first examine the corn in his hand.

nExploding Stamina Corn

n→ This corn, grown inside the tower, inflates to dozens of times its original size when heat is applied, and its seeds explode.

n→ When consumed, it breaks down 30g of body fat and increases stamina by 0.5 for 10 minutes.

n→ The effect can be stacked up to 10 times within an hour.

n→ When consumed, it makes your hair voluminous.

n→ Cultivator: Tower Farmer Park Sejun

n→ Expiration date: 90 days

n→ Grade: C

nIt inflates and explodes when heated? The explosion didn’t seem to mean in terms of stamina.

nSejun imagined the corn kernels swelling up. Then, what naturally came to mind was…

n“No way?! Is this popcorn?”

nSejun hurriedly stripped the red husk from the Exploding Stamina Corn. The kernels inside were also red like the husk.

nPop.

nSejun took off one red kernel.

nYou have obtained a seed of Exploding Stamina Corn.

nYour job experience has increased slightly.

nYour proficiency of Seed Sowing Lv. 2 has increased slightly.

nAnd he had Flamie heat up the corn kernel.

n“Be careful. You shouldn’t burn it.”

nYes! Master!

nA moment later, as Flamie began to heat the corn kernel with fire

nCrack.

nWith a popping sound, the red kernel ‘s outer shell burst open, and the white pulp inside swelled and popped out.

nHere you go.

nWhen Flamie moved the flame away, warm popcorn fell onto Sejun’s hand.

nSprinkle.

nSejun sprinkled some salt on the popcorn in his palm and cautiously put it in his mouth.

nCrunch.

nThe crispy texture, the savory and slightly salty taste.

n“Oh!”

nSejun was delighted by the taste, similar to the popcorn he used to buy outside.

n“This isn’t the time!”

nThe sooner he planted it, the sooner he could harvest it. Each kernel of corn he had now would become a bag of popcorn later.

nThud thud.

nSejun sowed 199 kernels of Exploding Stamina Corn in the field.

nYou have created a 50 square meter cornfield.

nYou have gained 100 experience points.

n“Grow well.”

nSejun cheered for the corn seeds planted in the field.

nIn this way, the crop that would become the hope for bald people all over the world began to grow on the 99th floor of the tower.

n***

n244th day of being stranded, dawn.

nThud. Thud.

nThe Branch Scouts invaded again.

nKruung. Kruung.

nAt Sejun’s request for a chance to grow, the mother Crimson Giant Bear watched from a distance this time, revealing only her presence to the Branch Scouts.

n“Guys, let’s go!!!”

nSqueak!!!

nKweong!!!

nWith a shout, Sejun, Black Rabbit, and Cuengi rushed forward.

nTrot trot.

nThud. Thud. Thud.

nThey all started from the same place, but Black Rabbit and Cuengi quickly surpassed Sejun, swiftly defeating the Branch Scouts. Sejun had the lowest agility stat among them.

nBoom.

nWhack!

nSplat.

nYou have defeated a large branch scout of the Corrupted Ent.

nYou have gained 500 experience points.

nSejun threw Great Warrior Uka’s Throwing Hand Axe from behind and killed the enemy.

n“That’s a bit lame. Retrieve.”

nSejun who retrieved the axe ran forward again.

nHe then lit the torches he had set around the area for surveillance, and threw them at the branch scouts.

nWhoosh.

nThe fire started burning the enemies as it spread to the branch scouts.

nYou have killed the Small Branch Scout of the Corrupted Ent.

nYou have gained 25 experience points.

n…

n..

n.

nYou have leveled up.

nYou have gained 1 bonus stat.

n“Nice!”

nSejun leveled up and became level 28.

nWhile he was gaining experience by killing the branch scouts,

nSpit!

nSpit!

nA sticky substance flew towards the burning branch scout with the sound of spitting.

nFizz.

nAs soon as the sticky substance touched, the fire went out instantly.

n“What?”

nWhen Sejun looked towards the source of the sound,

nSwish. Swish.

nYellow and purple flowers, about 30cm in size, were moving around, hanging on the large branch scout’s body with vine-like arms and legs.

nCorrupted Ent’s Sticky Flower Attacker

nCorrupted Ent’s Poisonous Fog Flower Attacker

nThe yellow ones were sticky flowers, and the purple ones were poisonous fog flowers.

n“Now it’s flowers?”

nSejun became curious about the appearance of the Corrupted Ent, which turned everything, including branches, flowers, and fruits, into monsters.

n“Guys, fall back for now!”

nWhen he saw the names of the enemies, he thought they would use a strategy to bind his feet with that sticky substance and kill him with poisonous fog.

nHowever,

nSqueak!

nThe Black Rabbit skillfully avoided the sticky substance with fast speed, and

nKuung!

nCuengi did not stop moving even after being hit by the sticky substance. There was no problem at all.

n“Oh Right. Only I am weak. Just me…”

nSejun confirmed his combat power ranking again and threw his axe to focus on killing the Poisonous Fog Flower Attacker so that the Black Rabbit and Cuengi could fight well.

nBoom.

nThud!

nYou have killed the Corrupted Ent’s Poisonous Fog Flower Attacker.

nYou have gained 1500 experience points.

nThe experience points were decent.

n“That’s right. I was always a long-range fighter.”

nWhile Sejun was comforting himself and fighting,

nRumble, rumble.

nThe ground began to shake.

n“Huh?!”

nSejun saw Mother Crimson Giant Bear. Why is she moving?

nRoar!

nShake shake.

nAs if to say it’s not her, Mother Crimson Giant Bear shook her head and pointed to the west.

n“What is it?”

nAs Sejun looked where the mother Crimson Giant Bear was pointing,

n“Huh?!”

nHe saw a giant tree about 70 meters tall slowly approaching from a distance.

nRumble, rumble.

nCorrupted Ent that has absorbed the energy of the Blue Moon

nHe had overlooked that the Corrupted Ent could absorb the energy of the Blue Moon, just as Flamie had grown by absorbing the energy of the Blue Moon.

nThe Corrupted Ent was so thick that even the huge mother Crimson Giant Bear couldn’t wrap her arms around it, and it was much taller.

nMoreover, with every movement of the Corrupted Ent, numerous monsters fell from its body.

n“Can we win?”

nWhile Sejun was considering a strategy for dealing with the Corrupted Ent,

n-Let me help.

nA low voice was heard in Sejun’s ear.

n“Huh?! Who is it?”

nSejun was looking around for the owner of the voice.

nThen

nFlap, flap.

nThe black dragon statue, which should be on the fountain, appeared in front of Sejun, its red eyes glowing.

n-I am the great black dragon, Anton Pritani. I am Aileen’s father.

n“Aileen’s father?”

n-Yes. We don’t have time, so let’s talk later.

nAfter finishing the conversation, the black dragon statue hurriedly flew towards the Corrupted Ent.

nAnd then

nRoar!

nA black breath, shot from the mouth of the black dragon statue, flew towards the Corrupted Ent.
