nTL: Hanguk

nFloor 67 of the Tower.

n“Whew.”

n“We survived.”

nThump.

nWhen the Purple Locusts suddenly stopped fighting and flew east, the soldiers, who were exhausted from hours of intense battle, started to rest.

nJust then,

n“Malkai!”

nElka, who had descended from Floor 99 of the Tower, called out to Malkai, who had been fighting the Purple Locusts with the soldiers on Floor 67.

n“Chief Elka, it’s hectic here. What happened…”

n“Malkai, we need to hurry to the Navia Swamp!”

n“What? What are you talking about?!” 𝘪.𝑐ℴ𝘮

nMalkai, who had been about to explain the situation on Floor 67, was taken aback by Elka’s words.

n“Sejun is fighting with the Purple Locusts in the Navia Swamp.”

nElka had heard about Sejun’s situation from the Golden Bat, who had gone hunting with Sejun in the western forest.

n“Sejun is?!”

nAwoooo!

nElka quickly summoned the Silver Wolf Tribe’s wolves with a howl and went to find Tamuro, the Lizardman’s Great Warrior, who is the commander in charge here.

n“What? You’re going to Navia Swamp?”

n“Yes! We must go there.”

n“Hmm…”

nAt Elka’s words, Tamuro fell into thought.

n“I’ll go with you. I was wondering why the Purple Locusts had gone to Navia Swamp.”

nTamuro thought that he needed to scout Navia Swamp.

nThus, the Lizardman soldiers led by Tamuro and 120 wolves from the Silver Wolf Tribe headed towards the Navia Swamp.

n***

nAfter Sejun and Theo entered the cave,

nYour crops have exterminated pests.

nYou have gained 1 experience point.

n…

n..

n.

nYour sturdy blade green onion has withered due to the poison.

nMessages indicating that the sturdy blade green onions had exterminated purple locusts and gained experience points started to appear. Fortunately, he was able to gain the experience points from the ones exterminated by the green onions.

nClang.

nSejun opened the void storage, preparing for the incoming swarm of Purple Locusts. If the sturdy blade green onions withered, they would soon enter the cave.

n“Guys! Gather around!”

nHe called the animals just in case.

n“Yes!”

nSqueak!

nKreong!

nPi Ppi!

nThe animals rushed over at Sejun’s call. And about 10 minutes passed.

nYour crop has exterminated pests.

nYou have gained 1 experience point.

n…

n..

n.

nThe experience gain messages kept appearing. Even as time passed, there were no purple locusts coming into the cave, indicating that sturdy blade green onions were still holding on.

nYou have leveled up.

nYou have gained 1 bonus stat.

nAfter another 10 minutes, he even leveled up.

n“Something’s strange?”

nSejun decided to go out and see for himself as the Purple Locusts didn’t come in even as he waited.

nKreong!

nThump Thump!

nUnable to leave his weak father behind, Cuengi took the lead by clapping his two front paws together. Indeed, he is a dutiful son.

nFollowing Cuengi, Sejun and the animals went outside, and,

n“Huh?!”

nIn Sejun’s sight, the corpses of the purple locusts filled the surroundings.

nAnd around the corpses, there were a few green onions that had not withered and were still holding on. Their appearance was very similar to that of the detoxifying green onion.

n“What? I didn’t plant any detoxifying green onions.”

nSejun examined the green onions. The color was different from Sejun’s detoxifying green onion. If the detoxifying green onions were closer to a bright, light green color, the green onions in front of Sejun now were a much darker shade of green.

n“I’m not sure.”

nSejun pulled out an onion to check it out directly when he couldn’t find an answer by examining the onions.

nYou have harvested the detoxifying green onion that slaughtered the swarm of poisonous insects.

nYour job experience increases slightly.

nYour Harvesting Lv. 4 proficiency has increased slightly.

nYou have gained 30 experience points.

n“Detoxifying green onion that slaughtered the swarm of poisonous insects?”

nIt was indeed the detoxifying green onion.

nThen,

nYou’ve discovered a cultivation method that enhances the potency of crops by cultivating them on land with specific conditions.

nYour job experience significantly increases.

n“Potency-enhancing cultivation method? What does that mean?”

nSejun hurriedly checked the option of the green onion.

nDetoxifying Green Onion that Slaughtered the Swarm of Poisonous Insects

n→ This is a detoxifying green onion that has detoxified the poison from the pests’ attacks and, in turn, slaughtered the pests.

n→ The potency of the detoxifying green onion has been enhanced, and the grade has risen by one level.

n→ When consumed, it detoxifies poisons of grade C or lower for 1 hour.

n→ If a non-awakener consumes it, the liver’s detoxification function becomes more active for 24 hours.

n→ Cultivator: Tower Farmer Park Sejun

n→ Expiration date: 90 days

n→ Grade: C

nThe potency of the detoxifying green onion that slaughtered the purple locust has improved, and the grade has risen to C. Furthermore, its detoxification ability is C grade.

n“Oh!”

nSejun was amazed. It was the first time that the grade of crops had increased in this way.

n‘Was it you?’

nSejun looked at Theo, wondering why the detoxifying green onion was planted here. After all, the one who planted the detoxifying green onion was either him or Theo. Since it wasn’t him, there was only one remaining suspect.

n“Meow, meow, meow.”

nPurr. Purr.

nTheo, who was humming a song and purring hard to restore Sejun’s sour face, completely oblivious to his surroundings.

n“Am I doing well, meow?!”

nWhen his eyes met Sejun’s, Theo asked with a grin. Thanks to his efforts, President Park’s sour face was returning to its original state.

n“Yes, President Theo, you’re doing well.”

n“Pfuhuhut, I knew it, meow! Then give me Churu quickly, meow!”

n“No.”

n“Meow?! Why not, meow?!”

nTheo was shocked by Sejun’s refusal. After all the purring he had done!

n“I have to plant green onions.”

n“Understood, meow! Then kind me will give in, meow! Plant the green onions and then give me Churu, meow!”

n“Alright.”

nSejun replied to Theo’s words while looking at the experience gain messages that kept popping up.

n“The detoxifying green onions are here, so where are they dying?”

nThere were no moving purple locusts in sight.

n“Theo, do you hear anything?”

n“Do you mean sounds? I can hear the sound of purple locusts over there!”

nTheo pointed in one direction with his front paw.

n“Over there?”

nSejun started walking in the direction Theo was pointing. All the way, there were countless bodies of Purple Locusts.

n“What’s going on?”

nNo matter how he looked at it, it seemed like they had killed each other. And as he continued to walk, more bodies appeared that were severely damaged.

nWhen he walked about 500m,

nYou cannot go more than 100m away from the Navia Swamp.

nHe arrived at a point more than 100m away from the Navia Swamp.

nAnd

nSwish, swish.

nThump.

nFrom far away, a few of the purple locusts eating the bodies of their dead comrades approached, trembling and eventually fell.

nYour crops have exterminated pests.

nYou have gained 1 experience point.

n…

n..

n.

nThese messages appeared in front of Sejun simultaneously.

n“Ah.”

nSejun had a good idea of what was happening.

n‘The detoxifying green onions are acting as poison to these guys!’

nAnd the reason why the bodies were more damaged the further they were was because the detoxifying ingredient left on the corpses was getting more diluted.

n“I should plant it here.”

nPluck. Pluck.

nSejun dug up the ground with his dagger and planted about 5,000 detoxifying green onions 10m apart. While planting, he got greedy and ended up planting most of the detoxifying green onions he had.

n“Is this enough?”

nSejun looked at the line of detoxifying green onions he had planted with pride. Before he knew it, the idea of accumulating experience points had flown out of his mind.

nRight now, Sejun’s attention was solely focused on raising the grade of his crops by one level. It was not for nothing that his profession was a farmer.

nA little later,

nFlap, flap.

nPurple Locusts that had been approaching while eating the corpses of their comrades started coming toward the detoxifying green onions.

nThe Purple Locusts ate the detoxifying green onions and fell, and other Purple Locusts died after eating the bodies of their kind. Like this, death began to spread out like a wave centered around the detoxifying green onions.

nAnd then,

nGrrr.

nKrueng!

nCuengi called Sejun while rubbing his belly. He’s hungry!

n“I got it. Let’s eat.”

nIt hadn’t been a few hours since they had eaten, but Cuengi was at the age of rapid growth. Sejun hurriedly returned to the cave with the animals. He was also hungry after moving around.

nOn his way back to the cave, he picked up a few more Purple Locusts. Once inside, Sejun quickly cooked them.

n“Okay, you guys can eat now!”

nKrueng.

nCuengi cheered and hummed a tune at the sight of abundant meal placed in front of him, and eagerly waited for his big brothers to start eating.

nIn consideration of Cuengi, who was eagerly waiting for his big brothers to eat, the animals quickly sat next to him and ate their food.

nAnd then,

n“Now, give me Churu, meow!”

nTheo demanded Churu again.

n“Okay.”

nSwoosh.

nSejun gave Theo the Churu.

nLick. lick. lick.

nWhile Theo was eagerly licking the churu,

n– Um… Master Theo, I would like to try the food too.

nGaeron spoke to Theo.

n“You can’t, meow! You’re too big, meow!”

n– Master Theo! I can shrink myself!

n“Fine, meow. Then come out, meow.”

n– Yes! Thank you.

nA black swamp the size of a tennis ball appeared at Theo’s feet and a small rainbow frog came out.

nAnd then,

nBowing its head.

n– Great Master, I also want to eat food. Please permit me!

nGaeron asked Sejun while bowing its head.

n“Okay.”

nAs Sejun filled a bowl with soup,

nSplash.

nGaeron jumped into the hot soup.

nAnd then,

n– Great Master! It’s really delicious! Uh. It’s refreshing!

nGaeron was in the hot soup, enjoying the bath and the meal at the same time.

nWhile they were having their meal,

n“But Gaeron, why did you sneak into the tower?”

nSejun asked out of sudden curiosity.

n-That’s… because I didn’t want to die.

n“You didn’t want to die? What does that mean?”

n– Master is the great Black Dragon, so you know, don’t you? That if you can’t enter the tower, you’ll all die on the final day…

n“The final day?”

nThe final day? If you can’t enter the tower, you’ll all die? Sejun was hearing this for the first time.

n– Yes. The day of the world’s destruction when the tower appears.

n“The world is destroyed when the tower appears?!”

n– Yes? Didn’t you know that? Where the hell did you get your education…

nWhen Gaeron was puzzled that even he, a race god, knew something that the tower administrator didn’t,

n“hiss! hiss! How dare you, Gaeron! Disrespecting our President Park, meow?!”

nTheo, who had been eating his Churu, puffed up his fur and growled in anger, scolding Gaeron.

n– No… Not at all! Absolutely not! 𝘪.𝘤𝑜𝘮

n“hiss! Just answer what President Park asks, meow!”

n– Yes! Towers appear in worlds where destruction is imminent. Specifically, it’s worlds where calamitous beings are set to appear.

n“Cataclysmic beings?”

n– Yes. Like the locusts we fought a while ago.

n“Locusts are going to appear?”

nSejun imagined locusts appearing on Earth. Within a few months, the locusts would rapidly evolve and the world would be destroyed.

n– Yes. Before the world is destroyed, the tower appears first and selects survivors from that world to enter the tower.

n“Before destruction comes, only selected beings are taken in…”

nSejun was feeling overwhelmed. If this fact is revealed to the world, there would be a huge chaos. Above all, his plan to get the Earth’s items using the golden bat would be shattered.

n“What about stopping the locusts from destroying the world before they do?”

n– I’m not sure. So far, many worlds have tried desperately to stop it… but they all perished. Including my world. Ah! But I think master’s green onions could be a variable!

nEven Gaeron had never seen the green onions detoxify and kill the purple locusts. Usually, the true beginning of the end starts when the locusts evolve to purple locusts. Because all the lands in the world are contaminated with poison.

nThen,

n“Sejun! We’re here!”

nElka, leading the silver wolves, followed Sejun’s scent and entered the cave.
