Chapter 347: Harvesting Watermelons

Chapter 347: Harvesting Watermelons

TL: Hanguk

99th floor of the Blue Tower.

Kin~nim, theres a huge problem!

-Whats all the fuss about? Zelga.

Well the tower is now submerged in water up to the 70th floor, and signs of an ice age are appearing on the 30th floor.

-What?!

Kin was shocked by Zelgas words.

Originally, the situation was such that up to the 62nd floor was submerged, and signs of an Ice Age were visible on the 20th floor.

It was impossible for the situation to worsen this much in just a few days.

-Whats the cause?! Have you figured out the cause?

Its not certain, but there were reports a few days ago of seeing fragments of Leviathan, the summoner of tsunamis, and Sasha, the Queen of Screams and Ice.

-What?! How dare the Apostle of Destruction enter my tower?!

Zelgas report infuriated Kin, but there was nothing Kin could do.

The moment Kin or the Blue Dragon enter the tower to fight the Apostles of Destruction, the situation in the Blue Tower, which is exposed to strong water energy, will only worsen.

-For now, use up all the Elixirs of Fire you have to prevent the 71st floor from being submerged in water.

Yes, Great Blue Dragon!

The only option left was to defend the remaining floors.

Hmm~ hmm~ hmm~.

Pluck. Pluck.

[You have harvested Thick Darkness Cherries.]

[Your job experience has slightly increased.]

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

[You have gained 70 experience points.]

..

.

As Sejun was humming and harvesting the Thick Darkness Cherries grown with the Harvest Elixir.

Kaiser watched Sejun with a pleased expression.

And then,

Sejun, hmm~ hmm~ hmm~.

-Oh my. My grandson is doing well.

Next to him, Ajax, following Sejuns lead, hummed a tune while harvesting Sunflower Seeds, and Kellion was there cheering him on.

A moment later,

Kaiser~nim, here you go.

-Kahaha. Sejun, thank you. Take this!

Kaiser, delighted, handed a pouch of coins to Sejun after getting 1,000 Thick Darkness Cherries.

Grandpa, here.

-Uhahaha. Alright.

Kellion looked fondly at his grandson as he received 1,000 Sunflower Seeds from Ajax.

Then,

Grandpa, hurry.

Ajax, looking at Kellion, courteously held out his small, adorable hands.

-Uhahaha. Look at my mind. Here it is.

Kellion hurriedly took out a money pouch and handed it to Ajax,

Hyung! Heres the money!

Ajax immediately scurried over to Sejun, handing him the money pouch received from Kellion.

And just like that, Sejun was a black hole sucking in all the Tower Coins.

However,

Good. With 200 billion Tower Coins, I can buy two drops of the Harvest Elixir.

He was just a poor tower farmer struggling with the cost of elixirs.

Aileen, here.

Sejun handed over 100 cherries left over from what he gave to Kaiser.

[The towers administrator says thank you.]

[The towers administrator says she will enjoy it.]

Yes. Enjoy your meal.

While talking with Aileen,

Hyung! I will also enjoy the Sunflower Seeds!

Ajax, holding about 100 Sunflower Seeds in his hand, said to Sejun.

Yes. Ajax, you enjoy your meal too!

Yep! Hyung!

Crunch.

Ajax responded and then began eating the Sunflower Seeds.

A soft but warm light flowed from Ajaxs body.

Hes good at peeling them.

Ajax, who had previously eaten Sunflower Seeds during a past harvest,

Expertly peeled the shells of the sunflower seeds and ate the contents deliciously.

By the way, Ajax was the first among the white dragons to eat the Sunflower Seeds,

And as the first one to consuming something with the power of light, he gained the privilege of getting double the effect.

With the cherry and Sunflower Seed harvest completed,

What should I do with the rest?

Sejun walked around the farm looking for a place to use the remaining 2 drops of the harvest elixir.

Okay. One drop goes here.

Drip.

He dropped a drop of Harvest Elixir on a sprout of Sundried Red Pepper.

Consuming Sundried Red Pepper after exposing it to sufficient light randomly increases 5 stats.

Moreover,

Sundried Red Pepper is essential for making delicious Gochujang. (TL: Red Chili Paste)

A lot of Sundried Red Pepper was needed to make tasty Gochujang.

After using one drop of Harvest Elixir on the Sundried Red Pepper,

Hmm

Sejun pondered as he looked at two crops.

[Farmers Warm Touch Lv. 7 is activated.] [You have harvested a watermelon that that couldnt absorb enough water.] [Watermelon that couldnt absorb enough water] [Your slave, Tower Farmer Ajax Mamebe from the White Tower, has harvested a new variety of watermelon known as the Shriveled Drought-Inducing Watermelon.] [A slaves achievement is your achievement.][Shriveled Drought-Inducing Watermelon]

Clatter. Clatter.

[Then I will go back to growing grapes. Thank you for bringing me here.]

The King of Farming also returned to the vineyard.

Puhuhut. Lets go back now, meow!

Theo was about to climb the tower again with Uren when,

Theo~nim, do you have any debts?

Uren, who had been munching on boiled potatoes that Sejun had packed, approached Theo and asked.

Considering the amount of money he had given to Theo during their descent from the tower, it was quite a large sum.

Yet, Uren couldnt understand why Theo, who was working hard to earn money, was doing so.

Puhuhut. Uren is a fool, meow!

What?

After snickering at Uren,

Chairman Park said the more money you have, the better, meow! In that sense, hand over more money, meow!

Theo boldly stretched out his front paw.

What?

Hurry up and hand it over, meow!

Uren was taken aback by Theos bold demand,

Yes! Just a moment!

Without any money on him, Uren quickly picked up a stone from the ground and,

Kkuik!

Using his Talent: Midass Touch, the stone began to turn into gold.

Uren, next is this, meow!

Theo brought a giant rock to Uren. Puhuhut. Its the giant gold that Chairman Park likes, meow!

***

Okay, lets eat.

Sejun stacked 10 pancakes on each plate and placed one in front of everyone.

Then,

Kuehehehe. Kueng! Kueng

[Hehehe. One! Two]

Cuengi began counting the pancakes from the bottom layer.

Ehihi! Veronica, I asked Sejun hyung to make this!

Thats impressive! Ajax~nim, you are amazing!

Ajax boasted to Veronica that it was his idea for Sejun to make the 10-layer pancakes.

And then,

Kieehihi. Kking!

Hehe. Ive been treating him well lately, so hes paying attention to me!

Fenrir was pleased, looking at the mini 10-layer pancakes made by cutting the pancakes into small pieces.

In the meantime.

Kueng!

[Ten! There are 10 pancakes here!]

Cuengi finished counting the stacked pancakes.

Thud.

Now, lets eat.

As Sejun placed a jar filled with kudzu honey in the middle,

Kuehehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehe. Dad, Thank you for the food!]

Ehihi. Hyung, Thank you for the food!

Sejun nim, Thank you for the food!

Everyone started eating the pancakes in their own style.

Aileen, here.

Sejun passed pancakes to Aileen and then,

Nom.

Took a bite of a pancake himself.

The bread, moistened with honey, melted smoothly in his mouth, spreading the buttery aroma all around his mouth.

Just when his mouth was nearly overwhelmed with sweetness and richness,

Slurp.

A sip of bitter coffee completed the perfect combination.

Keuh.

Even though I made it myself, it tastes great.

As Sejun was enjoying his dinner immersed in emotion,

Thud.

Kking

Hey. Rub my belly for me

After conquering three layers of the 10-layer pancakes and giving up, Fenrir struggled to walk up to Sejun and lay down.

Our Blackie, you ate a lot today.

Sejun rubbed the protruding belly of Fenrir to help him burp.

Burp.

After about ten minutes, Fenrir burped comfortably. Thanks to that, what he ate was digested, and his body grew 1.5 times larger.

Kieehihi! Kking! Kking?!

Hehe! Look at me! Ive gotten stronger, havent I?

Fenrir, thrilled by his increased strength, joyously hopped around for about five minutes, and

Kurorong.

Then collapsed on the floor and fell asleep. Fenrir was still quite weak.

Lets also go to bed early today.

Sejun picked up Fenrir, who was sleeping on the floor, and headed home.

And then

The next day, Fenrir was in for a big shock.
