Chapter 316: It's Not Me!

Chapter 316: It's Not Me!

TL: Hanguk

[You have arrived at the 70th floor farm of the Black Tower.]

[You have moved from the top floor, the 99th floor, to the 70th floor.]

[You have descended 29 floors.]

[Due to the effect of <Title: Retrogressor> , all stats increase by 29.]

Sejun arrived at the 70th floor.

Eugh!

He hurriedly covered his nose due to the foul smell surrounding him. Why does it smell like poop?

And then,

Huh? This is

Sejuns eyes caught sight of ginkgo trees dyed in bright yellow. This place was a ginkgo tree farm.

So this smell is?

When Sejun looked at the ground, he saw countless ginkgo fruits fallen.

Hehehe. This is going to be delicious.

Peeling the skin and roasting the seeds inside is another delicacy.

I need to call the kids quickly.

As Sejun hurried to open the void storage,

[A quest has occurred.]

[Quest: The farm management is too poor, and there is a severe stench. Collect all the fallen ginkgo fruits to remove the smell.]

Reward: Recognized as the rightful owner of the Black Towers 70th floor farm.

Perfect.

Sejun smiled upon seeing the quest. He was going to collect them anyway.

And then,

Clank.

Guys, come out.

Sejun opened the void storage to call his companions.

However,

Thud!

The door slammed shut again.

What?

Clank.

When Sejun opened the void storage door again,

Use this to cover your nose, meow! It smells like Chairman Park has pooped, meow!

Kueng! Kueng!

[The poop smell coming from Dad is too terrible!]

No matter how much I like Sejun hyung, I think we should stay away for a while.

Piyo!

[Theo~nim! Please give me one too!]

Kking?!

What did you eat?!

The companions were seen hastily covering their noses with green onions given by Theo. These little rascals!

Its not me!

Sejun was indignant towards his companions misunderstanding him.

Its coming from here!

Pook.

Because ginkgo fruit flesh should not be touched with bare hands, Sejun used McGees Dagger that Theo had brought to stab a ginkgo fruit and showed it.

Thanks to showing the real culprit, the ginkgo fruit emitting a foul smell, Sejun was cleared of the misunderstanding that he had pooped.

But even though the misunderstanding was cleared, the companions who had covered their noses with green onions did not come out.

They didnt want to step on the smelly ginkgo fruits.

Moreover, there was another reason they didnt want to go out.

Kuehehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehe. Its delicious!]

Eheh. Tasty.

Kking! Kking!

Theres a lot to eat! Were not going out from here!

Sitting on the ground, Cuengi, Ajax, and Blackie were eagerly eating the roasted dried sweet potato made by Sejun.

Cuengi, Ajax, put the ginkgo fruits in here.

Sejun said, opening the mouth of a leather pouch to the two.

Sejun also didnt want to touch the ginkgo fruits.

Thus, he asked Cuengi and Ajax, who could use telekinesis and magic, for help.

Kueng! Kueng!

[Understood! Float!]

Yes! Levitation!

At Sejuns request, Cuengi and Ajax, while chewing on the sweet potato jerky, levitated the ginkgo fruits into the leather pouch.

Despite the enormous quantity, the leather pouch seemed to have no end, endlessly accepting more fruits.

It was a leather pouch that dragons used to give money to Sejun, enchanted with spatial expansion and weight reduction magic, and Sejun was using it to store crops.

1 hour later

[You have cleanly collected 102,231 ginkgo fruits that had fallen in the ginkgo tree farm.]

[You have completed the quest.]

[You are recognized as the rightful owner of the land deed for the 70th floor ginkgo tree farm.]

[Land Deeds Skill: Farm Information Lv. Max is activated.]

With all the fallen ginkgo fruits packed into the leather pouch, the quest was completed.

As the land deed quest concluded,

Now, lets go find the night sweet potatoes.

Sejun decided to search for the night sweet potatoes, his original goal.

First, you guys look around to see whats nearby.

Sejun asked Cuengi, Ajax, and Piyot, who could fly, to scout the area.

While the three were scouting around,

Thud.

Sejun took out a pair of brown gloves and the leather pouch with ginkgo fruits from the void storage.

[Poison-Resistant Gloves]

Gloves made of specially treated leather for handling poison.

You will not be poisoned by touching poisons of grade B or lower.

Creator: Leather Artisan Wilson

Grade: B+

[You have obtained Ginkgo Seeds.]

Sejun made a peanut skewer for Piyot by sticking 5 peanuts on a needle.

It took longer than expected to make the skewer because the peanuts would split each time he tried to skewer them.

Piyo! Piyo!

[Thank you, Sejun~nim! Theo~nim, I have a skewer too!]

Flap, flap.

Piyot flew next to Theo with his peanut skewer and ate together,

Hehehe. Delicious.

Sejun also had a pleasant meal with his companions.

At that time,

Rustle.

How dare you enter Lord Igiruss territory?! Who are you?!

With the sound of moving grass, two kangaroos appeared from within the forest, pointing their spears towards Sejun and his companions.

But the timing was terrible. They appeared right when everyone was eating.

Kueng!

[You dont disturb someone while theyre eating!]

Dont mess around-!

Thud.

The two unlucky ones were immediately knocked out by the energy from Cuengi and Ajax.

A little later,

Slap, slap.

Wake up, you slaves, meow!

After lunch, Theo woke the two up.

Their front paws were already stained with black ink. Theo had stamped their paws while they were unconscious.

Umm

Where is this?

As the kangaroos woke up,

Lead us to where Igirus is.

Sejun spoke.

The place where the leader Igirus was likely to be their base. There was a high chance that night sweet potatoes would be there.

Fine. We will guide you to Lord Igirus. Follow us!

This turned out well.

If its the boss, maybe we can win.

Thinking that Igirus could handle them, the two led Sejun to their base.

However,

Kueng!

[Submit!]

Igiruss knees easily buckled under Cuengis telekinesis.

Plplease spare us!

Naturally, Igirus was unable to defeat Sejun and his companions,

Puhuhut. Stamp it, meow!

Press.

He stamped the seal on Theos contract.

As the situation was resolved,

Can you show us your food storage?

Sejun asked to see the kangaroos food storage in search of night sweet potatoes.

However,

Food storage? We dont have such a thing.

The kangaroos didnt have a food storage.

It was obvious. The forest was abundant with fresh leaves to eat; there was no need to harvest them in advance only to let them wilt.

Then have you ever seen something growing from the ground like this?

Sejun showed the kangaroos a sweet potato.

No. We dont dig the ground

It was a similar reason to before.

There was plenty of foliage to eat in sight, so there was no need to dig for food from the ground.

Alright, lets go, guys.

Eventually, Sejun left Igiruss base without any harvest and walked towards a red light pillar.

He planned to register the waypoint of the 70th floor of the tower and decide whether to return to the 99th floor or stay and continue searching for night sweet potatoes.

As Sejun arrived in front of the red crystal,

Click.

[The 70th floor waypoint of the Black Tower has been saved.]

He placed his hand on the red crystal to register the waypoint.

At that moment,

Sniff, sniff.

Kking!

It smells like something like the yellow and chewy thing!

Fenrir, peeking out from Sejuns pocket, smelled the sweet potato.

And,

Kking!

Its mine!

Boing.

Jumping out of Sejuns pocket to eat it alone,

Thump thump.

He ran following the smell.

And then,

Plop.

Kking?

The ground collapsed, and Fenrir was swallowed into the darkness.
