Chapter 258: Time to Wash the Scruffy Ones

Chapter 258: Time to Wash the Scruffy Ones

TL: Hanguk

After Sejun went to attend the Black Rabbits wedding, Kaiser took care of the farm at Sejuns request.

The Mushroom Ants were so diligent and competent that there wasnt much for Kaiser to do, but occasionally,

Kkwek!

-What?! Fire ants are invading again?!

He had to fend off fire ants that occasionally came to kidnap the Mushroom Ants.

Go back.

The day before he was to leave for the 10th Tower, Kaiser, as usual, sent the fire ants back to their nest and settled back at the fountain.

Then,

Kkwek!

One of the Mushroom Ants cautiously brought something to Kaiser, holding it with its front teeth.

-Again? Enough. Give it to Sejun.

Every time he chased away the fire ants, the Mushroom Ants brought him something like an elixir as a token of gratitude, so Kaiser intended to send it back as usual.

The effects of the Elixir Mushroom were too insignificant for Kaiser, and besides, he didnt like mushrooms.

However,

Kkwek!

Unlike usual, the Mushroom Ant did not retreat and stood firm with its antennae held high, showing strong confidence.

-Alright. What is it?

Kaiser agreed to take the item, thinking of quickly accepting and sending it back.

Thud.

The Mushroom Ant placed a single black bean in front of Kaiser and looked at him with eyes full of expectation.

-Hmph! No matter how sincere you are, Im not going to pretend to be surprised by such a trivial item.

Kaiser spoke loudly to the Mushroom Ant while examining the black bean.

[Transcendence Black Bean]

A black bean grown in the Tower, rich in nutrients and delicious.

Cultivated by a farmer familiar with agriculture, enhancing its taste and efficiency.

Its the bean with the rarest probability of being harvested among the five-colored beans

When consumed, the Transcendence Black Bean transcends all levels, activating the effects of the Strength Yellow Bean, Stamina Red Bean, Agility Green Bean, and Magical Blue Bean, with 300% effectiveness.

This bean will not sprout when planted.

Cultivator: Tower Farmer Park Sejun

Shelf Life: 150 days

Grade: A

What?!

Kaiser was genuinely surprised this time.

The description indicated that it transcended all levels and activated the effects of other beans at 300% effectiveness, sending shivers down his spine.

Kaiser had previously eaten the Magical Blue Bean harvested by Sejun from the five-colored beans.

However, the effect was very minimal, increasing Kaisers magic stat by only 0.5%. Normally, it should have increased the magic stat by 100%, but Kaisers level was too high for the beans effect to be fully realized.

So, he had completely ignored them thereafter but things would be different with this Transcendence Black Bean.

-If I eat this

Thinking about the effects of eating the beans, Kaisers heart swelled with excitement, inevitable for a dragon.

It would multiply his already greatly enhanced abilities several times. The Transcendence Black Bean was indeed an incredible item.

-Its truly amazing!

Kkwek!

As Kaiser acknowledged the greatness of his gift, the Mushroom Ant chirped happily and confidently went back down.Điscover new chapters on n0ve(l)bin(.)com

Then,

Kkwek!

Kkwek!

The Mushroom Ant received congratulations from its peers. In their culture, being acknowledged by a great being for a gift brought them recognition among the Mushroom Ants.

For them, having their gift accepted by the great Black Dragon was an incredible achievement.

-I should keep this and get permission from Sejun later.

Recognizing its immense value, Kaiser decided to keep the black bean and pay Sejun properly later.

Thus, Kaiser kept the Transcendence Black Bean and a snack of four-colored bean roast with him as he hurriedly headed to the 10th Tower.

***

When Kaiser ate four beans, tiny compared to his true size, looking almost like dust,

-..

..

Halphas watched with a tense gaze, while the dragons observed with anticipation. They thought Kaiser must have something up his sleeve seeing how confident he was.

However,

..

Contrary to his confident demeanor, Kaisers power increased only very slightly. It was such a minor change that no one would feel wronged if asked what had changed.

Caw! Caw!

Halphas mocked Kaiser for his apparent failure.

Then,

Its not over yet.

Gulp.

In front of everyone, Kaiser swallowed another bean a black bean. It was the Transcendence Black Bean.

And then,

Rumble.

The Transcendence Black Bean transcended all levels, activating the effects of the yellow bean for strength, red bean for stamina, green bean for agility, and blue bean for magic power that Kaiser had eaten earlier, and then enhanced their effects by 300%.

-What What is this all of a sudden

How could Kaiser

Not only Halphas but also the dragons on the same side were astonished by Kaisers sudden increase in abilities.

Currently, Sejuns beans, classified as A-grade, had an effect that increased all stats by 300% for one minute.

That meant all stats were increased by 4 times, 1+3.

And the effect of the Transcendence Black Bean activated the four colored beans effects at 300%.

In other words, it increased all of Kaisers already tremendous stats by 12 times, multiplying them four times and then three times.

Moreover,

[Hehehe. Is it Cuengis turn now?!]

Cuengi, eagerly awaiting Sejuns touch, hung on the edge of the bathtub and asked in an excited voice.

Yes. Come here.

Krueng!

[Okay!]

Cuengi entrusted his body to Sejuns hands.

Rub, rub.

Kuehehehe.

Cuengi chuckled joyfully as Sejuns hands soothingly scrubbed him.

Its really fortunate that Cuengi likes baths.

Otherwise, bathing Cuengi would have required Pink-fur or the Minotaur King. And a tremendous amount of water.

Otherwise, Cuengi, who digs in the earth and roams around every day, would have really become scruffy.

Alright, Cuengi, go wake up big brother and dry off together.

After the bath, Sejun placed Cuengi next to Theo,

Krueng! Krueng!

[Okay! Big brother, wake up!]

Cuengi responded and began to shake Theo awake.

What, meow?

Theo, who had been sleeping warmly wrapped in a towel, opened his eyes in a groggy state.

Krueng!

[Dad said to dry off with big brother!]

Puhuhut. No one can beat Vice Chairman Theo in drying off fur, meow!

Hearing Cuengis words, Theo suddenly got up and then flopped down, vigorously rubbing his body against the towel. It was to wipe off the moisture from his fur.

Krueng!

[Cuengi can dry his fur better than big brother!]

Cuengi followed Theos lead, energetically rubbing his body against the towel on the floor.

A brother determined to win and a younger brother determined to beat his elder. Sejun let them be as they competed in drying themselves. Well at least they were drying their fur

And then,

Golden bat, come here.

Sejun called the golden bat for its turn.

(Yes!)

As usual, the golden bat eagerly swam in the bathtub, approaching Sejun.

Scratch, scratch.

Being small, the golden bat was bathed by Sejuns fingers gently scratching its body.

(Pip-pip. It feels refreshing!)

After bathing the golden bat and turning around,

Puhuhut. Vice Chairman Theo won, meow!

Cuengi!

[No, Cuengi won!]

Both were insisting they had won, even though their fur wasnt completely dry yet.

Sigh. Come here.

Dadada.

In the end, Sejun had to dry Theo, Cuengi, and the golden bat himself and barely managed to take a shower himself.

Ppyak, ppyak.

While Sejun was showering, the attendants brought in suits for Sejun and the animals to wear at the wedding.

Unlike Sejuns suit, the animals only had jackets and bow ties. This was the best choice for the animals, as wearing anything more would be uncomfortable for them.

Sseureuk. Sseureuk.

Sejun dressed first.

It fits perfectly.

The attendants had taken his measurements upon his arrival, so the suit fit Sejuns body perfectly.

After getting dressed,

Now, retract all your claws.

Sejun asked the animals to retract their claws to prevent the clothes from tearing,

Sseureuk. Sseureuk.

and then helped them into their jackets.

Its stuffy, meow!

Krueng!

[Its uncomfortable!]

(Pip)

The animals, wearing clothes for the first time, seemed uncomfortable.

Wow! Our kids look great in their outfits.

Sejun soothed and reassured them.

Puhuhut. I, Vice Chairman Theo, look good in anything, meow!

Krueng!

[Cuengi looks good too!]

(Pip-pip. Do I look okay too?)

The animals mood improved thanks to Sejuns encouraging words.

Good. Lets go!

Puhuhut. Lets go, meow!

Kuehehehe.

(Pip-pip!)

Filled with confidence from Sejuns coddling, the animals followed Sejun out of the room.

Day 357 of being stranded. Finally, the Black Rabbits wedding was about to begin.
