Chapter 345: It Was You!

Chapter 345: It Was You!

TL: Hanguk

Seed Shop Headquarters.

Leah~nim, welcome back. Did you have a good trip?

The god of spring breeze, Melin, and other gods asked Leah, the goddess of abundance.

Their bodies were so translucent that the blurry background behind them was visible.

They were disappearing, losing their divine power.

Indeed Yes! Look at this!

Leah responded boastfully in a very different tone than when she spoke to Sejun, to Melins question.

Leah showed a fist-sized orb of light.

It was divine power worth 500 billion Tower Coins. The other half i.e. 500 billion Tower Coins were lost in the process of bringing it.

As she told Sejun, it was a loss they had to bear since it was not an official trading route.

Wow!

As expected of, Leah~nim!

Hehe. Here. Eat up!

Leah tore off a piece as small as a thumbnail from the divine power and handed it to the gods.

Leah~nim, thank you.

Thank you.

If it werent for Leah~nim, we would have already perished!

The gods expressed their gratitude to Leah as they ate the divine power she provided.

Their divinity restored, their bodies became clearer and more defined after consuming the divine power.

Hehe. We must all help each other to survive. You guys should also find believers, then you can trade with Sejun.

Yes! I hope so. Then we wont have to be wary of those guys anymore.

Right! Lets show the pride of us non-combat gods!

While Leah boldly exclaimed,

Phahahaha. Pride? What did I just hear?

Thud. Thud.

A god so huge that he was incomparable to them laughed at their conversation as he passed by.

Hmph! Just you watch! Non-combat gods will become the mainstream soon! Park Sejun, fighting!

Park Sejun, fighting!

Leah and the other non-combat gods cheered for Sejun.

***

Pluck.

[You have harvested a Tenacious Mugwort.]

[Your job experience has slightly increased.]

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

[You have gained 45 experience points.]

Sejun, along with Theo, Cuengi, Ajax, Uren, and the King of Farming, diligently harvested mugwort.

At that moment,

Kking! Kking!

Hey! Look! I can also pluck well!

Fenrir plucked mugwort with his mouth and brought it to Sejun.

Oh! Is Blackie also helping with farming?

Chuck.

At Sejuns question, Fenrir sat down.

Kking!

Since I helped, give me food!

He had an ulterior motive.

Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.

Thus, Sejun gave Fenrir some dried sweet potatoes and,

Alright. Now were halfway done. Lets keep up the pace!

He encouraged his companions as they continued harvesting mugwort.

Puhuhut. But whats the name of this skeleton slave, meow?

Theo approached the King of Farming and inquired about his name.

Clatter.

[I am called the King of Farming.]

Puhuhut. What kind of name is King of Farming, meow? You should at least be something like our Chairman Park, a Tower Farmer.

Theo mocked the name of the King of Farming and after writing King of Farming in the second column of the contract and,

Swoosh.

He brought the contract in front of the King of Farming hand, as he tried to harvest mugwort,

Press.

Clatter?

And got King of Farmings stamp.

Heh. You King of Farming? Im the Tower Farmer.1(TL: So, let me explain whats going on here. First, the proper translation for Skeletons name would be Farming King, but I have chosen to go with King of Farming because it essentially means the same thing but sounds better. Now, setting that aside, the sentence used here is a mix of English and Korean. That is, You and I am are in English, and the Korean word for Tower translates to Top. Hopefully, this makes things a bit clearer.)

Sejun, looking at the King of Farming, pointed his thumb down and boasted. He really said it annoyingly.

Clatter!

[Im also good at farming!]

Provoked by Sejuns taunt, the King of Farming couldnt hold back and retorted.

Puhuhut. You dare challenge our Chairman Park with farming, meow? Chairman Park show him what youve got, meow!

Hehe. Alright. Ill show you why Im the Tower Farmer!

Thus began a battle of pride between the two serious farmers.

Then its a contest to see who can harvest more mugwort!

With Sejuns shout, the harvesting competition began.

Sejun hyung, you got this!

With Sejuns prestige as a tower farmer on the line, Ajax enthusiastically cheered him on in the competition.

A moment later.

Hehe. King of Farming, you still have a long way to go before you can challenge me.

The result was Sejuns victory.

While skill matters, in terms of physical ability, the King of Farming from the 4th floor of the tower couldnt beat Sejun.

However,

Clatter!

[I may not be good at harvesting, but I excel at planting grapes!]

Puhuhut. Chairman Park, the King of Farming is challenging you to a grape planting contest, meow!

Feeling unfairly dismissed by Sejuns mockery, the King of Farming requested a rematch.

Oh yeah? Then shall we compete in planting grapes?

Clatter

[Yes, lets do it!]

Alright. Land Moving!

[You have planted 50,000 Vitality-Infused Fragrant Grape seeds in soil imbued with magic power.] [Fragrant Seedless Grapes][You have achieved the feat of making the first-ever Crispy Mugwort Fries in the tower.] [You have consumed Crispy Mugwort Fries.] [Talent: Strong Tenacity]

Vitality +10%?!

Excited, Sejun hurriedly coated more mugwort in batter and

Sizzle.

started frying and eating it. He had to eat a lot to enhance his talent!

High vitality means not being treated like a sunfish.

[You have consumed Crispy Mugwort Fries.]

[Due to Cooking Lv. 9, the effect of the ingredient Tenacious Mugwort is increased by 5%.]

[Talent: Strong Tenacity is slightly enhanced.]

Thus, Sejun ate the mugwort fries so fervently that it nearly scalded his palate.

However,

Vitality +10.0001%

The vitality increased only slightly.

As expected, its not easy.

The world did not generously pour blessings on Sejun.

Lets get back to work.

Realizing that the world wasnt that easy, Sejun went back to harvesting mugwort.

Two hours later.

Phew. Done.

Sejun looked at the towering stack of mugwort and said with a satisfied voice.

[Your soul feels fulfilled.]

[Mental Strength increases by 1.]

Mental strength increased simultaneously. Indeed, labor does not betray.

Hehehe. Good. Guys, lets head back.

Sejun prepared to return with a smile.

Puhuhut. Lets go home, meow!

Swish.

At Sejuns words, Theo quickly clung to Sejuns leg.

However,

Vice Chairman Theo, take the King of Farming to the 4th floor of the tower.

Theo had a task to do.

The King of Farming, came from the 4th floor and had come up to the 62nd floor.

He had been lucky coming up, but there was no guarantee hed be lucky going down as well.

Thats why he told Theo to take the King of Farming back.

Additionally, Theo was instructed to check if the vineyards on the 4th floor were alright.

Puhuhut. Vice Chairman Theo will check thoroughly and return quickly, meow! King of Farming, lets go, meow!

When Theo and the King of Farming were about to leave quickly,

Theo~nim, Ill also

Uren also called out to follow Theo for a safe return.

Puhuhut. Okay, meow! Uren, follow along, meow!

On the way, I must buy what I want with Urens money, meow. For Theo, who considered Uren as his wallet, naturally welcomed it.

Chairman Park, Ill be off, meow!

Alright. Take care.

Kueng!

[Big brother, see you later!]

See you later.

Kking!

Bring back something tasty when you return!

With everyones farewell, Theo left with the King of Farming and Uren,

Lets go too, Toryong.

Sejun called Toryong and moved toward the red light created by the waypoints red crystal.

And

Kueng!

[Move out of the way!]

Clear the path!

Kking! Kking!

Move aside! This noble wolf, Lord Fenrir, commands it!

Cuengi, Ajax, and Fenrir intimidated the boss monster guarding the waypoint,

Please pass through!

The boss monster stepped aside to let them through.

Kueng!

[Dad, Use waypoint now!]

Hyung! Its safe now!

Kking!

From now on, just follow behind me!

Yeah. Thanks.

[Black Tower 62nd Floor Waypoint has been saved.]

Thanks to this, Sejun easily saved the waypoint,

Guys, go in.

[Moving to the 99th floor of the Black Tower.]

Together with his companions, Sejun returned to the 99th floor of the Black Tower.

***

Green Towers Administrative Area.

Alright. Its time to go.

Brachio took the completed Green Dragon statue and flew to the Black Tower.

Now, if I just go into the Black Tower and appease Sejuns anger

Brachio thought only of calming Sejuns anger.

However, it was a very naive thought.

Grandma Brachio, who tried to kill our Sejun, is now banned from entering the Black Tower!

The final boss of the Black Tower, Aileen, did not open the door.

Brachio, whats the matter?

Aileen wont open the door

So, Brachio went to find Kaiser.

Kaiser, how can I appease Aileens anger?

She asked Kaiser for a way to calm Aileens anger.

Ah. For that, you need to ask Sejun, but?

What should I do?

Brachio had no way to enter the Black Tower.
