Chapter 209: I'm a Lucky!

Black Dragon’s Territory.

Flap. Flap.

A massive black dragon descended to the ground.

And then,

“Father, I have delivered the essence of fire.”

The black dragon spoke to Kaiser as it polymorphed into human form. It was Anton, who had visited the Red Dragon’s territory on Kaiser’s errand.

“How was it?”Fôllôw new stories at no/v(e)lb/in(.)com

“Just as you said, father, the red dragons were not creating the essence of fire.”

“As expected...”

Kaiser’s expression grew grave at Anton’s words. The essences were typically created by the four main dragons that represented the elements: red for fire, blue for water, white for ice, and brown for earth.

If not, essences would form elsewhere, causing damage.

“According to them, it has been over 100 years since the essence of fire was last made. I spoke to the leader of the red dragons, Sir Ramter, but I am not sure how effective it will be.”

“What should we do...”

Kaiser couldn’t think of a solution. If the red dragons didn’t create the essence, even if the other elemental dragons did their part, an imbalance would occur, leading to greater problems.

For now, the only solution was to regularly remind the red dragons to create the essence.

***

[You planted rice seeds in the magic-infused ground.]

[Your job experience has increased slightly.]

[The rice seeds listening to the farmer’s footsteps, enhancing the effect of Magic Seed Sowing Lv. 6.]

[Due to Magic Seed Sowing Lv. 6, the growth speed of the rice seeds will be doubled for 24 hours.]

[Your proficiency in Magic Seed Sowing Lv. 6 has increased slightly.]

“Hehehe. Grow quickly, my little ones.”

As soon as Sejun received the seeds, he carefully planted them one by one in the field from the leather pouch. Along the way, the level of his Magic Seed Sowing skill increased, bringing him great satisfaction.

Once he finished planting the rice,

“I need to make a rice paddy.”

Sejun decided to create a rice paddy to transplant the rice once it had grown to a certain extent.

“Toryong!”

Sejun called out to the Black Earth Dragon, Toryong, on a piece of unused land.

-Master, did you call for me?

“Yes, Toryong. Make a paddy here.”

-Yes! Understood!

Being the helper of the tower farmer, Toryong, who possessed knowledge about farming, immediately understood Sejun’s request.

Ku-gu-gung.

Toryong went underground and quickly created a 33,000 square meters paddy field that could hold water.

-It’s done.

“Good job. Pink-fur, fill this place with water.”

Once Toryong had created the paddy field, Sejun asked Pink-fur to fill it with water.

It would have been great if the Black Minotaurs were around, but they were currently busy searching each floor for any remnants of the Three Head Society, and had just reached the 92nd floor.

Ku-uh-ung!

Upon Sejun’s request, Pink-fur started filling the paddy with water from the canal using a large pot.

Krueng!

[Cuengi will help too!]

Cuengi also enlarged his size and started filling the paddy with water using a large pot, assisting Pink-fur.

“Our Cuengi has grown a lot.”

Looking at Cuengi, who was now one head taller than Pink-fur, Sejun beamed with pride. It was rewarding to see him grow.

About an hour later,

Krueng!

[Dad, we’re done!]

With a proud stride, Cuengi approached Sejun, who was roasting balanidae. It seemed as if he was saying, “I worked, so I deserve a snack!”

“Our Cuengi worked hard, so let’s have a snack. Pink-fur, you worked hard too. Here, eat this.”

Sejun treated Cuengi and Pink-fur, who had helped with the work, to roasted balanidae as a snack. Of course, he also called over the rabbits, monkeys, and mushroom ants that were working to join them.

Then,

Snap.

Pop.

As the animals ate roasted balanidae, they started placing red beads, one by one, near Sejun, who was roasting the balanidae.

Krueng!

[This one’s for you, Dad!]

Of course, Cuengi joined in. It was the balanidae’s inner core.

“Thank you.”

Unlike before, Sejun’s expression was bright with gratitude. That’s because now he could absorb the energy of fire without eating the inner core, using his talent: Friend of Fire. He could finally say goodbye to the bitter taste.

Chuk.

“Huh? A Sturdy Carrot?”

Seeing this unfamiliar carrot name, Sejun inspected the freshly harvested carrots and noticed one that looked slightly different from the rest – a long, firm and slightly bulky carrot.

Then,

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

[The tower acknowledges your exclusive cultivation right to cultivate this new variety.]

[Without your permission, no one can cultivate the Sturdy Carrot.]

[Your job experience has increased greatly.]

[Due to the job characteristic, all stats increase by 10.]

An achievement message for creating a new variety appeared.

“Hehehe. I’m a lucky!”

Sejun decided not to worry about his continuing luck. Today is one of those rare days that come once in a lifetime.

Then,

[You have achieved the achievement of creating 7 new varieties.]

[As a reward for the achievement of the Great Farmer, the prestige of the Black Tower rises.]

[The stature exceeds a certain level, increasing the number of entrances to the Black Tower by one.]

[The number of the Black Tower increases from 99 to 100, and the previously disappeared 57th entrance is recreated in the safest place.]

With the message of achievement of creating of 7 new varieties, a message appeared that the vanished 57th entrance was being recreated. Sejun had a feeling it was referring to the tower that have disappeared in Brasília.

“Hehehe. But have I really obtained seven new varieties?”

Sejun felt proud while reading the message, then checked the Sturdy Carrot options.

[Sturdy Carrot]

→ A carrot that grew inside the tower. It consumed plenty of nutrients, but this mutant carrot used all its nutrients to strengthen itself.

→ It’s very hard.

→ There is no effect when consumed.

→ Cultivator: Tower Farmer Park Sejun

→ Expiration date: 120 days

→ Grade: B

“But can this be eaten?”

Sejun tried to bite the carrot with all his might, but it was as hard as a rock.

Thunk.

For now, Sejun decided to replant the Sturdy Carrot to obtain its seeds and think about how to utilize it. He then went on to harvest the remaining carrots.

A little later,

Krueng!

Peep!

Peiya!

Cuengi and the rabbits energetically moved the 100,000 harvested carrots.

Slurp.

“Ah, nice.”

Watching the animals, Sejun decided to have his coffee time.

[The tower’s administrator thanks you for the recreation of the 57th entrance of the Black Tower.]

“Really? Where was it created?”

[The tower’s administrator says they are not sure, but it was created near the 100th entrance.]

“The 100th entrance? Where is that? Ah! Now is not the time for this!”

Sejun got lost in thought for a moment, then hurriedly got up. It was lunchtime.

“Aileen, what do you want to eat?”

[The tower’s administrator says any food you make is delicious.]

“Really? Then let’s have balanidae porridge.”

Sejun went to the kitchen and started cooking with all his heart.

***

Hannam-dong, Korea.

“Look over there!”

Passersby were taking photos and looking at the 990m tall Black Tower that had appeared.

And,

“Ugh... Huh?!”

Sejun’s younger brother, Se-dol, who had overslept, yawned while looking out the window, then was startled. Because he saw the towering Black Tower almost only 10 meters away from his window.

“Why is the Black Tower here?”

Se-dol was puzzled. In fact, everyone on Earth was puzzled.

However,

Crackle. Crackle.

The cause of all this, Flamie, was busily taking root and dominating its surroundings.

The safest place on Earth was near Sejun’s family’s house, where Flamie was diligently rooting deep underground to protect Sejun’s family. Only Flamie knew why the Black Tower appeared here.

It was the first time two towers appeared in one country.
