Chapter 322: Ajax, I Will Bring Morning to the White Tower!

TL: Hanguk

99th floor of the Red Tower.

Phew. This is tough.

Clank.

When Udon, having finished the battle with Cactus, was about to take off his helmet and rest,

Roarrrr.

Udon-!

A massive energy took over the surroundings as Ramter appeared.

Clank.

Udon hurriedly put his helmet back on.

And then,

I greet the great Red Dragon, Lord Ramter! What do you wish of me?

He knelt down towards the direction of the voice and shouted.

Thats right! Udon, dry this in a dry place and then bring it back!

Thud.

Ramter handed over a heavy leather pouch and said.

Yes! Understood.

Then call me once youre done.

After Ramter gave his command and disappeared,

Phew. I guess I have to go back down again.

Udon went down the tower again without even having a chance to sit.

Hehehe. Nice.

Sejun, who had been paid by Ramter to dry his pears, harvested the cherry tomatoes with a satisfied smile.

After Sejun harvested cherry tomatoes for about an hour,Rêađ latest chapters on no/v/e/l(b)in(.)com

[Your soul feels fulfilled.]

[Mental strength increases by 1.]

He felt a sense of accomplishment as his mental strength increased.

And then,

Aileen, what do we use mental strength for?

He asked Aileen about the use of mental strength.

He initially wanted to ask Kaiser, but Aileen said she would look into it for him.

[The towers administrator says that as mental strength increases, it affects other stats as well, causing them to increase.]

Aileen, having asked Kaiser in detail about mental strength, answered.

Really?

Hehehe. I should work hard to increase my mental strength from now on.

When he learned about the use of mental strength,

Puhuhut. Chairman Park, Ill go work, meow!

Theo said he would go to work.

Oh! Really? Whats the occasion Vice Chairman Theo?

Sejun was surprised at Theos words,

Puhuhut. Since Im the Vice Chairman, I need to supervise whether the employees are slacking off, meow!

Theo answered proudly, planning to secretly check if the employees were slacking off.

However,

Whos supervising whom?

Sejun Company was a company where everyone worked hard, except for the Vice Chairman.

Still, it was commendable that he decided to work on his own.

Be careful.

Puhuhut. Understood, meow! Ill be back soon, meow!

Alright.

Lets go, Piyot meow!

Piyo!

[Yes!]

As Theo and Piyot went down to supervise the employees,

Should I look around the fields?

Step. Step.

Sejun walked towards the farm. Today, he had crops to check.

He planned to check the Japanese Pumpkin, Flame Beans, Watermelon, and Blueberries he bought when the 8th seed shop opened. (TL: Previously I might have translated Japanese Pumpkin as Sweet Pumpkin but the exact variety is Japanese Pumpkin aka Kabocha or Kabocha squash)

As Sejun arrived at the field where the crops were planted,

[The water-absorbing watermelon is grateful for the farmers footsteps and lend its strength.]

[The potential of your magic stat increases from 2279 to 2280.]

The watermelon raised one potential in magic strength as a reward for hearing the footsteps.

When will this one grow?

Sejun said, looking at the watermelon the size of a fist. Its growth rate was excessively slow compared to other crops.

Is it still lacking even though I gave it so much water?

He had been watering the watermelon, known as the water-absorbing watermelon, ten times a day, but the result was a watermelon that grew from the size of a bean to a fist.

Well its growing, at least.

Sejun shifted his gaze from the watermelon to the other crops.

However, the flame beans had not even sprouted yet, perhaps requiring special conditions to germinate.

The blueberries were still growing, now reaching about the height of Sejuns knees.

The last remaining crop was the japanese pumpkin.

Im glad at least you guys grew well. Hehehe.

Sejun looked at the well-ripened japanese pumpkin with a deep green color with satisfaction.

And then,

Swoosh.

He harvested the japanese pumpkin by cutting its stem with a dagger.

Then,

[You have harvested a Poison Detoxifying Japanese Pumpkin.]

[Your job experience increase slightly.]

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

[Poison Detoxifying Japanese Pumpkin] [Your soul feels fulfilled.] [You have acquired 5 seeds of the Poison Detoxifying Japanese Pumpkin.][Your slave, Tower Farmer Ajax Mamebe, has harvested a new variety called Sundried Red Pepper.] [A slaves achievements are your achievements.] [Sundried Red Pepper] [You have obtained a clue that could lead to a great achievement.]

Ehehe! Youre here?

Kuehehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehe. It smells delicious!]

Is it already dinner time?

Cuengi and Veronica, attracted by the smell of the food, entered the kitchen and

Click. Click.

Sat down at the dining chairs.

Kking!

Delicious smell!

Fenrir also entered the kitchen and settled down in front of his bowl marked Blackie.

30 minutes later,

[You have achieved the feat of making the first spicy seafood stew with japanese pumpkin in the tower.]

[The recipe for spicy seafood stew with japanese pumpkin is registered in Cooking Lv. 8.]

[Your proficiency of Cooking Lv. 8 has increased slightly.]

The cooking was completed.

Click. Click.

Sejun placed a japanese pumpkin on each of their plates and said,

Lets eat.

Click.

As he opened the lid of the japanese pumpkin,

Click. Click. Click.

Cuengi, Ajax, and Veronica also followed Sejun, opening the lids of their japanese pumpkins and started eating the seafood stew.

Then,

Kking!

Me too.

Fenrir barked loudly, asking for his meal as well.

Alright. Here.

When Sejun cut the japanese pumpkin wrapping the seafood stew and gave it to Fenrir,

Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.

Kking!

Delicious!

He started gobbling it down eagerly. Going to eat quickly and get ready for round two!

While everyone was enjoying their delicious dinner,

Meow meow meow.

Piyo. Piyo.

Theo and Piyot were humming a tune while heading towards the 99th-floor entrance of the tower.

And then,

Meow?!

Theo found the land deed that Tier had thrown in advance.

Puhuhut. Found something good, meow!

Swoosh.

Of course, Theo picked up the land deed.

Meow meow meow.

Piyo. Piyo.

They moved again, humming a tune, and

-Thats it.

Finally, Tier, having delivered the 83rd-floor land deed to Theo, returned to the fountain with a smile.

Thus, Sejuns 370th day in the tower came to an end.

53rd floor of the Red Tower.

But how did Lord Ramter obtain crops from the Black Tower?

Udon, having checked the option of the pear inside the leather pouch, spoke with curiosity.

As far as he knew, all dragons dont usually give and take things from each other.

They think that if another dragon gives them something, it means they are being looked down upon. Could such dragons exchange such insignificant crops?

It was unthinkable by Udons common sense. Well It was different since it wasnt a dragon to dragon trade, but a trade between a dragon and Sejun.

But this is really fascinating.

Udon said, looking at the pear. It was his first time seeing such a crop. A crop that emits water in a dry place.

Should this level of dryness be enough?

Udon had just arrived in an area that was becoming a desert.

Click. Click.

He began to take pears out of the leather pouch and placed them on the ground.

After Udon had laid out about 50,000 pears on the ground,

Is it evaporating well?

He checked the first pear he took out.

Just by looking at it, it was much smaller than the pears inside the leather pouch.

But why is it getting dark?

Udon, noticing that it was getting dark around him, hurriedly looked up at the sky.

And then,

What is that?!

He spotted the dark clouds floating in the sky. The moisture evaporated from the pears had risen into the sky and formed clouds.

Then,

Drip. Drip.

Raindrops began to fall from the sky, one by one.

Its raining

Udon was moved by the moisture wetting his face.

Swoosh.

In the meantime, the rain grew heavier and turned into a downpour.

Hahaha! Its rain! Rain!

Udon laughed heartily, embracing the falling rain with his whole body.

For the first time in a thousand years, rain fell on the Red Tower.
