Chapter 147

TL: Hanguk

“Why do I have to do this, meow?!”

Theo, hanging on Sejun’s head, peered around the field that was being illuminated by a blue light with a pout on his face. He was sulking because he couldn’t hang on Sejun’s knee as it couldn’t be seen from below.

“Vice Chairman Theo, please endure a little longer. I’ll give you churu afterward.”

“Meow! Okay, meow!”

Theo, encouraged by Sejun’s words, looked around with wide eyes.

Then,

“Meow! Chairman Park, found it, meow”

Krueng!

[I found it, daddy!]

Theo and Cuengi, who were looking over the field from atop Pink-fur’s head, simultaneously spotted the area where the blue light was beginning to intensify.

“Meow! Cuengi, I saw it first, meow!”

Krueng! Krueng!

[No! Cuengi saw it before big brother did!]

As Theo and Cuengi argued over who spotted it first,

Flash!

The blue light brightened even more, as if absorbing all the energy of the Blue Moon.

“What’s this?”

Having never experienced this before, Sejun approached the cherry tomato field radiating light.

Ssshh.

By the time Sejun approached, the blue light had completely transferred to a single cherry tomato, which now radiated not blue or red, but a pure white light.

“......”

Thud.

Sejun, as if entranced, plucked the white cherry tomato.

And then,

[Elixir: You have harvested a cherry tomato imbued with powerful magic power.]

[Due to the effect of Harvesting Lv. 6, you harvested a crop one grade higher.]

[Your job experience greatly increased.]

[Your proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 6 has increased greatly.]

[Your proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 6 has been filled, and the level increases.]

[You have acquired 1000 experience points.]

“Huh?!”

Sejun came to his senses only after seeing the harvested message.

And then,

“A cherry tomato imbued with powerful magic power?!”

He was shocked to see the name of a crop he had never seen before. Moreover, it was an elixir.

Just then,

[You have achieved the achievement of creating a new variety in the tower.]

[The tower acknowledges your exclusive cultivation rights for the new variety.]

[Without your permission, no one can cultivate the Elixir: Cherry Tomato Imbued with Powerful Magic Power.]

[Your job experience increases greatly.]

All this time, Sejun had harvested cherry tomatoes the most until now, but he had never encountered a new variety. He had almost given up, but...

“Cherry tomato! I always believed in you!”

The magical cherry tomato finally gave Sejun a new variety. Moreover, it was classified as an elixir.

As Sejun hurriedly tried to check the attributes of the white cherry tomato in his hand

[You have achieved the feat of creating 5 new varieties in the tower.]

[As a reward for the great farmer’s achievement, one job characteristic will be added.]

[Every time you create a new variety, all your stats increase by 10.]

“Oh! Jackpot!”

Every time a new variety is created, all stats increase by 10! It was an amazing job characteristic that had the same effect as raising 40 levels.

“Let’s check its attributes now.”

Sejun happily checked the options of the Elixir: Cherry Tomato Imbued with Powerful Magic Power.

[Elixir: Cherry Tomato Imbued with Powerful Magic Power]

→ It is a mutant cherry tomato that has absorbed the intense magic power of the Blue Moon at the highest point of the tower.

→ A cherry tomato grown inside the tower, it is delicious and full of nutrients.

→ Its color changed to white as it absorbed powerful magical power.

→ Consuming it permanently increases magic power by 10.

→ It was born by absorbing powerful magic, and it cannot grow anywhere that doesn’t have strong magic presence.

→ Cultivator: Tower Farmer Park Sejun

→ Expiration date: 10 years

→ Grade: A

“Huh?! It’s A-grade?!”

He then remembered the message that said he had harvested a crop of one higher grade.

At that moment,

“Put that cherry tomato in this box, meow!”

Theo took out a box from his bag.

“What is that box?”

“It’s a box I got from lottery draw, meow!”

“What?! A Lottery Draw? Did you do a draw at the blacksmith?”

“No, meow! I found a new place, meow!”

It was the lost-and-found storage warehouse, which unbeknownst to Taru, had become Theo’s new location for lottery draws.

“Oh! Really?!”

Sejun seemed even happier with Theo’s words than when he got the elixir cherry tomato. Theo’s draw are always great. Just as Theo trusted Sejun’s knee, Sejun also trusted Theo’s front paw.

Sejun examined the box.

[Shabby Wooden Box]

“Then I’ll go too, meow!”

While Theo and Iona were talking,

“Uhm...”

Sejun woke up.

“Did Chairman Park wake up, meow?”

“Of course, I’d wake up. You’re chatting so loudly beside me...”

Sejun grumbled as he got up.

“That’s good, meow! Chairman Park, now that you’re awake, give me a churu, meow!”

Theo laid down on Sejun’s lap, with twinkling eyes, ready to eat Churu.

“Kyoot. Then I should also take a short nap before I go!”

As Theo laid down, Iona quickly wrapped Theo’s tail around her and closed her eyes.

“Alright.”

Yawn.

Sejun, still half-asleep, tore open the Churu and fed it to Theo.

Slurp slurp slurp.

‘As expected, the Churu fed by Chairman Park while on Chairman Park’s lap is the tastiest, meow!’

Theo was happy while eating the Churu.

And as Sejun was feeding Theo and starting to wake up,

Krueng!

[Daddy, Cuengi is hungry too!]

Cuengi, who woke up due to hunger, immediately came looking for Sejun as soon as he opened his eyes.

“Alright... eat this and wait for a while.”

Sejun took out some dried sweet potatoes from the void storage and gave them to Cuengi.

Krueng!

[It’s delicious!]

Chew chew.

Cuengi, sitting next to Sejun, diligently ate the dried sweet potatoes.

A moment later.

(Sejun! Good morning!)

The golden bat, having woken up, came to find Sejun.

“Yes. Good morning.”

And so, surrounded by the animals, Sejun began the 302nd morning of being stranded.

“So, you want me to decide on a new name for the wizard tower?”

“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Yes!”

Crunch crunch.

Iona, who answered Sejun’s question, continued to gnaw on roasted peanuts. The reason Iona came to Sejun was to get a new name for the wizard tower.

Originally, it was the Gravity Wizard Tower, but as it has absorbed the Fire, Destruction, and Meteor Wizard Towers, its size increased and its identity as a user of gravity magic became blurred. Therefore, a new name was needed for the wizard tower that would give everyone a sense of belonging.

And at the end of the wizard tower meeting, it was suggested that Sejun, the real power behind the Black Tower, should give the wizard tower its new name.

“Meow! I have a good name, meow! Vice Chairman Theo, shortened to TheoPa Tower, how about that, meow?!”

“That’s totally lame.”

“What do you mean, meow? There’s no way that’s lame, meow! Then how about Theo Park Tower, meow?!”

“Pass.”

“Why are you rejecting everything I suggest, meow?!”

Just as Theo was about to argue why his proposed name wasn’t being accepted,

Krueng!

[Cuengi thought of a name too!]

Cuengi said, raising his front paw energetically.

“Oh?! What is it, Cuengi?”

Krueng!

[It’s Honey Tower!]

Cuengi suggested the name of his favorite food, honey, for the wizard tower.

“Uhm... That might be difficult?”

Krueng! Krueng?

[Honey is delicious! Why can’t it be?]

Cuengi was puzzled why the delicious honey couldn’t be the name of the wizard tower.

Then,

(Pip-pip. How about naming it Sejun Tower after Sejun?)

The golden bat suggested naming the wizard tower after Sejun.

‘Hehehe. The golden bat is making me blush...’

Sejun was secretly pleased when,

“It won’t work, meow! It’s too weak, meow!”

Krueng!

[The name lacks strength!]

Theo and Cuengi opposed naming the tower after Sejun, who they deemed the weakest. These guys!

“No, it’s just...”

“Kyoo-Kyoo-Sejun! Your name won’t work! Then everyone will look down on our wizard tower!”

Just as Sejun was about to argue, Iona’s anger gauge rose to level 2, and she became angry.

“I’ve become much stronger than before...”

As Sejun was feeling wronged,

(Pip... I’m sorry for suggesting a weak name.)

The golden bat, who suggested Sejun’s name, apologized.

“Ugh... Golden Bat, you too...”

Having been dealt the final blow, Sejun fell into despair.
