Chapter 315: Indeed, Sejun hyung and I Get Along Well
TL: Hanguk
Done. Eat up, Veronica.
Sejun placed the first finished pancake in front of Veronica,
Thank you!
Veronica eagerly began to eat the pancake.
Then,
Sejun hyung!
Ajax flew in quickly.
And,
Hyung! I upgraded this book!
Ajax boasted, showing Sejun the plant encyclopedia.
Upgrade?
Yeah! It worked when I touched it!
Click.
Sejun, not understanding what Ajax was talking about, took the book to examine it.
[Experienced Farmers Plant Encyclopedia]
An encyclopedia where an experienced farmer has recorded his knowledge. (Information from the White Tower has been added.)
If you write the name of a crop on an empty page, and if that crop exists within the Black Tower or White Tower, it will tell you its location.
A page cannot be reused once written on.
Pages available: 51/250
Usage restriction: Magic power above 500, must have a farming-related job
Creator: Experienced Farmer Figaro
Grade: S+
It really is.
As Ajax said, the plant encyclopedia had been upgraded.
In addition to the Black Tower, information about the White Tower had been added, and the number of usable pages had increased by 50.
Hyung! The content of the pages has changed too!
Ajax explained further as Sejun examined the plant encyclopedia.
Really?!
Swoosh.
As Sejun listened to Ajax and flipped through the pages of the plant encyclopedia,
<Locations where lettuce grows>
[Drowsy Lettuce White Tower 71st floor]
<Locations where cabbage grows>
[Power Cabbage White Tower 23rd floor]
<Locations where cherries grow>
[Deep Darkness Cherry White Tower 83rd floor]
As Ajax said, information about the White Tower had been added, and some page contents had changed.
Then,
Huh?!
Sejun paused upon seeing one of the crops.
Deep Darkness Cherry?
A name that seemed much more related to the power of darkness than the night sweet potato. He immediately felt, This is it! much stronger than he had with the night sweet potato.
But how do I get it?
Sejun wondered.
Should I send Ajax to get it? He briefly considered this idea but,
Eheh. Cuengi, is this ours?
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. It seems so!]
Seeing Ajax, drooling next to Cuengi in front of the cooking pancakes, Sejun couldnt bring himself to trust them.
Whether they could find the cherries well, whether they could grow the cherries properly, etc.
Many worries crossed Sejuns mind. Moreover, if Ajax made a mistake and caused the cherries to go extinct, it would be a disaster.
I have to go myself.
After some thought, Sejun decided to go to the White Tower himself.
He didnt know what dangers awaited him.
He didnt want to go, but Sejun decided to muster his courage, for Aileen, to find the power of darkness.
Having made his decision, Sejun,
So, Ajax, youre saying that because you touched it, the book got upgraded like this?
asked Ajax while closing the book.
Yeah!
Ajax answered with a Didnt I do well? expression.
Yeah. You did well.
Swoosh, swoosh.
Sejun patted Ajax on the head,
Hmm hmm hmm.
Thump.
He lightly touched Veronicas robust shoulder, who was enjoying the pancake, with the plant encyclopedia.
Then,
[Experienced Farmers Plant Encyclopedia has made contact with the Tower Farmer of the Purple Tower.]
[The crops of the Purple Tower will be added to the Experienced Farmers Plant Encyclopedia.]
[50 pages will be added for use.]
[The content of some pages will be modified.]
Once again, the plant encyclopedia gets upgraded.
Wow!
Swoosh.
Sejun opened the plant encyclopedia, now thicker than before,
<Locations where barley grows>
[Paralysis Poison Barley Purple Tower 12th floor]
<Locations where oranges grow>
[Acidic Poison Orange Purple Tower 93rd floor]
<Locations where almonds grow>
[Cyanide Poison Almond Purple Tower 51st floor]
Information about the Purple Tower was added, showing the locations of several crops.
As Sejun was checking the content of the plant encyclopedia,
Kueng!
[Dad, the pancakes are burning!]
Hyung! Its burning!
Cuengi and Ajax called out to Sejun in a panic. To them, there was nothing more serious than this.
Ah. Got it.
Sejun hurriedly grabbed the frying pan and
Flick.
flipped the pancakes with a wrist flick.
Phew.
Fortunately, only the edges were slightly burnt and not much damage was done.
After a while,
Here. Lets eat.
Sejun cut off the burnt parts of the pancake, placed it on a plate, and brought it over,
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
Kurorong.
Kkirorong.
Arolong.
Pirorong.
He left the animals snoring peacefully and marked the date on the wall before heading outside.
And
Hmm hmm hmm.
[The Agility Carrot are grateful for the farmers footsteps and lend their strength.]
[The potential of the Agility stat increases from 857 to 858.]
Sejun, walking through the farm, increased his potential.
Then
Kkieek!
A fire ant approached Sejun with a bold stride.
Huh?! You are?
Sejun was startled to see the approaching fire ant.
It was a fire ant that followed Sejun after Youre a Field! was used, changing its pheromones.
Swoosh.
The fire ant showed its back to Sejun, indicating it had something. I have an elixir!
Whoosh.
With overflowing confidence, the fire ant shot flames into the sky with its antennae.
Are you that confident?
Kkieek!
Whoosh.
The fire ant responded to Sejuns question by emitting stronger flames.
Oh. Is that so?
Sejun looked at the elixir growing on the fire ants back.
A different appearance from other mushrooms, with thin orange stems numbering in the hundreds.
Whats this?
Tap.
Sejun, curious, harvested the elixir.
[Supreme Elixir: Cordyceps harvested.]
[You job experience points slightly increase.]
[Your proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 8 slightly increases.]
[You have gained 1500 experience points.]
[Experience points do not accumulate as the job quest has not been completed.]
Cordyceps?
Sejun hurriedly checked the options.
[Supreme Elixir: Cordyceps]
Cultivated by the tower farmers tenant fire ant.
Boasts excellent taste and fragrance.
Consumption increases all stats by +20.
Cultivator: Tower Farmer Park Sejuns tenant fire ant.
Shelf life: 150 days.
Grade: A+
The fire ant had every reason to be confident.
Oh! Well done, fire ant!
Sejun praised the fire ant, thinking that he should tame more fire ants.
As Sejun harvested the cordyceps and returned home,
-Ajax, Im sorry. We havent found the land deed for the towers 83rd floor yet.
Kellion spoke, avoiding Ajaxs gaze.
And
Hmph! Im disappointed! Im not talking to grandpa anymore!
Ajax turned his head away, showing his sulking side. Im mad at Grandpa! After all the fuss I made in front of Sejun hyung
Thus, the grandchild-grandparent relationship became strained again.
-These children
Just as Kellion was about to take his anger out on the five who disobeyed his command,
Ajax, you shouldnt behave like that with Grandpa. Apologize to him right now.
Sejun scolded Ajax in a stern voice.
This was a situation caused by himself. It was right for him to step in and mend their relationship.
But I wanted to get the land deed for hyung
Feeling wronged that Sejun wasnt taking his side, tears welled up in Ajaxs eyes. I did it for Sejun hyung
I know how you feel, Ajax. But you shouldnt act that way towards Grandpa. Go on, give him a hug.
Okay. Im sorry, Grandpa.
Following Sejuns words, Ajax hugged Kellion and apologized.
Kellion~nim, Im sorry. It was presumptuous of me to ask
Sejun also apologized to Kellion, acknowledging his own part in the situation.
-Euheuheuheu. No, its fine. Ill keep looking for the land deed.
Kellion, energized by Ajaxs hug, dismissed the matter nonchalantly.
Thanks to that, the strong beings of the White Tower were able to avoid the wrath of the great white dragon.
Thus, Sejun mediated a reconciliation between Kellion and Ajax.
Alright, guys, were about to leave, so hurry inside.
Sejun said as he opened the void storage.
It was to use the land deeds Theo had brought for the towers 70th and 81st floors to harvest night sweet potatoes and the pear of strength and stamina.
Puhuhut. Got it, meow!
Kueng!
[Got it!]
Okay! Hyung!
Piyo!
[Yes!]
As Theo, Cuengi, Ajax, and Piyot entered the void storage,
Then Ill close the door
Sejun was about to close the door.
When
Kking?! Kking!
Where are you going?! Take me with you!
Thud, thud.
Fenrir hurried over. Having grown overnight, his stride had quickened.
Our Blackie wants to go too?
Kking?!
If you go, who will protect me?!
Fenrir, biting Sejuns hem, showed his determination to go along.
Alright. Lets go together.
Click.
Sejun picked up Fenrir and placed him inside the void storage.
And
Swoosh.
Sejun disappeared as he unfolded the land deed for the towers 70th floor.
