Chapter 295: Let's Go Beat Them!

Chapter 295: Let's Go Beat Them!

TL: Hanguk

[You have arrived at the 85th floor of the Black Tower.]

[You have moved from the 99th floor, the top floor, to the 85th floor.]

[You have descended 14 floors.]

[Due to the effect of <Title: Retrogressor>, all stats increase by 14.]

Ugh. I feel drained.

Sejun, who felt drained moving from the 49th floor to the 85th floor.

Sejun, feeling a bit powerless, approached a tangerine tree standing in the middle of the farm.

The tangerines are not ready yet.

Sejun said, looking at the tangerine tree, which only had lush green leaves.

Normally, he should have just turned back and returned to the 99th floor, but

Hehehe. Now I have this.

Plop.

Sejun took out a glass bottle containing a solution emitting a soft green light and opened the lid.

And

This drop is worth 70 billion Tower Coins.

He tilted the bottle with extreme concentration.

Money aside, if he accidentally drops two drops, the tree could die from vitality depletion.

By the way, this tangerine tree is the last tangerine tree in the Black Tower.

Meaning, if the tangerine tree in front of him dies, tangerines will be extinct in the Black Tower. He could never eat them again.

That cant happen! I will definitely eat them!

Sejun had already made plans to create a winter vibe by building an igloo using ice cubes, covering himself with a warm blanket, and snuggle around with the animals while peeling and eating tangerines.

Drip.

With high concentration, he managed to drop only one drop of the Harvest Elixir on the tangerine tree.

Then

Pop. Pop. Pop.

Buds formed on the branches of the tangerine tree, quickly blooming flowers and beginning to grow fruit.

Good.

Sejun confirmed that the tangerines began to grow.

Since it would take a few hours for the tangerines to grow enough to be harvested, he looked around the farm.

Wow. Its completely clean.

Endless acres of fertile land.

Thanks to the Black Minotaurs turning over the soil up to tens of meters deep in search of kudzu roots, the soil became very fertile.

Of course, the kudzu was completely extinct becuase of the Black Minotaurs on the 85th floor.

Golden bat, Piyot, please help me.

(Yes!)

Piyo!

[Yes!]

Cant waste this good land. Sejun, driven by his farmers instinct, had the golden bat and Piyot scatter corn seeds.

Flap. Flap.

Flutter. Flutter.

While the golden bat and Piyot were flying around scattering corn seeds,

Tap. Tap.

[You have obtained corn seeds.]

[Your job experience has increased slightly.]

[Your proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 8 has increased slightly.]

[You need to use the Seed Harvesting skill 871,821 more times to complete the job quest.]

..

.

Sejun harvested corn seeds from the corn stored in the void storage for the golden bat and Piyot to scatter.

While the three of them were working,

Meow. Meow. Meow.

Theo lay on Sejuns lap, stretching out lazily,

Kyurorong.

And Iona kept sleeping on Theos tail. For reference, Iona has been with them since the 75th floor.

Lastly, Cuengi was

Bam.

Just staring at Sejuns hand.

Specifically, at the corn stalk from which Sejun was removing the corn kernels.

Cuengi was utterly charmed by the sweetness that increased the more he chewed the corn stalk.

Pop.

Once Sejun had removed all the corn kernels from the corn,

Kueng!

[Daddy Cuengi wants to eat it!]

Cuengi raised his front paws.

Cuengi, after all, youre the only one here who eats this.

Where did he learn to raise his hand?

Here.

Curious, Sejun fed the corn stalk into Cuengis mouth.

Chew. Chew.

Kuehehehe.

Cuengi chewed the corn stalk, smiling. Thanks to him, not 1g of food waste was produced.

***

Good work, everyone. Lets distribute the wages.

Clink.

The Black Skeletons handed out ten bunches of vitality-infused fragrant grapes as wages to the workers who had finished their work.

And

Colonel Jackson, we did it!

Good. You all worked hard too.

Among the workers, Jackson and ten hunters affiliated with the navy were happy to see the grapes they received as wages.

The hunters, holding the number tickets in front, had to find another hunter with a ticket to buy, and only after working for 10 hours did they receive the valuable grapes.

As they were leaving the grape farm with proud expressions,

[Grapes for sale at a high price.]

Huh?!

They discovered a sign put up by the King of Farming.

Ah, they should have sold them earlier.

Jackson sighed and headed back to the grape farm.

And

I would like to buy the vitality-infused fragrant grapes.

He went to the King of Farming to start negotiations for buying grapes.

Clink. Clink.

Kueng!

[That sounds good!]

Its not because they wanted to eat more tangerines. It was necessary to have seeds to plant tangerines. The tangerines were just a bonus.

Peel. Peel.

As they continued to peel and eat the tangerines,

Huh?! We ate them all?

Kueng?!

[Are they already gone?!]

Sejun and Cuengi had already eaten all the harvested tangerines, which allowed them to use the igloo they had made with some effort for a bit longer.

And

Sip. Sip.

The golden bat was still busily sucking on the piece of tangerine Sejun had given it at the beginning.

A little later,

[You have created a 33,000 square meters tangerine farm.]

[You have gained 30,000 experience points.]

[You cannot gain experience points because you have not completed the job quest.]

With his hands tired from peeling tangerines, Sejun planted 3,100 tangerine seeds and

Lets go home now.

They returned to the 99th floor of the tower.

***

[You have arrived at the 99th floor of the tower.]

Toryong, lets go home.

-Yes, Master.

Sejun, having arrived at the 99th floor, rode Toryong back to the farm.

Lets go get some rest.

Sejun was thinking of quietly ending the day and having a party around noon tomorrow.

But

Huh?! Whats all this?

Sejun saw a bustling crowd of people.

Then

Thump. Thump.

Moo!

[Sejun~nim!]

Minotaur King hurried over after spotting Sejun.

And

So, Vice Chairman Theo sold the party invitations, and thats why this happened?

Sejun found out that the reason the 99th floor was in this state was because of Theos invitations and how Theo had raised the money.

But

Meow?! I didnt sell that many invitations, meow! I only sold exactly 1,000, meow!

The number of participants was too many compared to the number of invitations Theo had sold. Someone must have forged the invitations.

Dare to disrupt my party!

Theo-son, this is a case of forgery! Lets find the culprit!

Puhuhut. Worry not, Sherlock Sejun, meow! I can recognize the original invitations, meow!

Theo quickly adapted to the situation play, now familiar with such scenarios, in response to Sejuns words.

But how can you tell which are the originals?

Thats because

To imprint the stamp with the black dragon tattoo, magic power must be infused.

In other words, Theos unique magic power was contained in the invitations he made.

Really? So we can tell if theyre original by looking at the invitations.

Puhuhut. Yes, meow!

But how can we find them all here?

There were almost a million participants in the tower right now.

Only 0.1% of them had the original, meaning it would take a whole day to find the culprit.

Then

Kyoo-Kyoo-Kyoo-Dont worry. Ill help you.

Iona, who had been asleep, woke up furious upon hearing that Theos invitations had been forged.

Kyoo-Kyoo-Kyoo-Let the power of magic find the energy I seek. Mana Scan!

As Iona used her magic, a blue wave spread out from her, searching for Theos energy.

And

Marking.

Iona used another spell to mark those with Theos original invitations in blue, and all others in red.

Kyoo-Kyoo-Kyoo-Done! Lets go beat them up now!

Iona, exuding a murderous aura, was ready to scold the participants with forged invitations.

Iona becomes even more aggressive when it comes to matters involving Theo.

But

Puhuhut. Wait a moment, Iona.

Theo stopped Iona in her tracks and

Swoosh.

pulled out a bundle of contracts from his bundle.

And

Those with red marks on their heads, youve done wrong, so come this way, meow!

He began to collect stamps from those with forged invitations. Puhuhut. A lot of excellent slaves have been made, meow!

There are too many, help me, meow!

Since there were too many people, Sejun, the animals, and the Black Minotaurs also joined in.

Thus, the holders of the forged invitations became slaves for a year.

I dont want to! Why should I?!

There were some who resisted, but

Kueng!

Kyoo-Kyoo-Kyoo-

Moo!

Cuengi, Iona, and the Minotaur King, the trio of destruction, exuded murderous intent, quickly calming them down.

Kyoo-Kyoo-Kyoo-Confess nicely now! It wont be fun if I have to find you later!

Im sorry. It was me.

Im sorry.

Under Ionas murderous threat, the main culprits, including the Red Orc Giant Fang and Skilled Hand, were quickly caught.

Just as they were smoothly catching the main culprits behind the forged invitations and processing the slave contracts,

[Master, Blackie is being attacked!]

Flamie reported Fenrirs anomaly to Sejun.
