Chapter 371: Pip-pip. Today was another fulfilling day

TL: Hanguk

As Sejun prepared to leave for the waypoint,

“Chairman Park, we’ll go ahead, meow!”

Theo said to Sejun while holding the bundle. Piyot and Uren, who had packed their luggage, were already standing behind Theo.

“Huh? Where are you going?”

Sejun, who thought they were leaving together, asked.

“Puhuhut. That’s right, meow! We’re going to earn some money, meow! I, Vice Chairman Theo...”

Theo explained that he was going with Uren to catch debtors and swindlers who were on Uren’s blacklist.

Uren, who needed Theo to collect the money, showed his blacklist to Sejun with a pitiful look.

“Wow. You’ve really been ripped off a lot.”

Sejun was shocked as he checked the amounts written on the blacklist.

Among the 15 names on the blacklist, the amount next to the name at the very bottom was 1 trillion tower coins.

And when Theo mentioned that they would split the money 50-50...

“As expected of Vice Chairman Theo! Great job! That’s right Yes, we should help each other. Go ahead.”

Sejun urged Theo to leave quickly.

“Puhuhut. Got it, meow! We’ll be back soon, meow!”

“Okay. Have a safe trip.”

Theo, excited by Sejun’s praise, rubbed his face vigorously against Sejun’s knee one last time before leaving with Piyot, Uren, and the slaves.

Except for the skeletons. They were to descend to the 4th floor of the tower separately.

Sejun instructed the crying skeleton gang, who had become slaves, to receive orders from the King of Farming and gave the King of Farming five Dragon Warrior Helmets to protect themselves.

Clatter.

[Then we’ll be going too.]

The King of Farming, who had risen from the youngest of the crying skeleton gang to the highest position of power, led the crying skeleton gang and the five Dragon Warriors down the tower.

As the King of Farming moved,

‘Ah... so it was Sejun nim.’

Dragon Tooth Soldiers, Sejun, Kkueng.

As the three connected in his mind, the King of Farming realized who the skeleton was that led Koto on the path to overthrow the bone caste system.

10th Tower, 1st Floor.

“Alright. It’s finished.”

Stella smiled as she completed the voice message orb.

The surroundings had small hills here and there because Stella had dug around looking for materials to make the voice message orb.

Woong.

Stella infused the orb with magic power and recorded her voice.

And then,

“Transport.”

She sent the voice message orb to Sejun.

-You could have said it a little more gently···

The administrator of the 10th tower, who had been listening, spoke with concern.

The administrator was worried that the person who received Stella’s voice message orb and had passed the trial of the 10th tower might get offended and not come.

***

99th Floor of the Black Tower.

On the way to the farm, riding on Toryong.

“It’ll be completely dark soon.”

Sejun said, looking at the darkening sky.

A little later,

-Master, we have arrived. Have a good night.

“Yes. Good night to you too, Toryong.”

Sejun, who had arrived at the farm, greeted Toryong and

Ppyarolong.

Kurorong.

Arorong.

Kkirorong.

He put the already sleeping four into bed.

And then Sejun lay down on the bed.

Gulp.

[You have consumed Medicinal Mugwort.]

[All stats increase by 20.]

[Your lifespan increases by 3 months.]

[You have consumed a bitter-tasting medicine.]

[Talent: A Medicine That’s Bitter is Good for Stamina activates.]

[Stamina increases by 9.]

“It’s still really bitter as expected...”

Sejun fell asleep, ending the 384th day after eating Medicinal Mugwort.

Snore.

As everyone fell into a deep sleep,

When the sky was completely dyed black,

(Pip-pip!)

Paespaes, the nocturnal golden bat clinging to Sejun’s shoulder, started its day. (TL: Paespaes is the name of Golden bat that is being used from this chapter ownwards. Paespaes is the sound that the golden bat makes which I have translated as Pip-pip. )

(Pip-pip! Good night, everyone!)

Paespaes greeted everyone quietly enough not to disturb the sleeping group,

(Pip-pip. I’m hungry.)

Flap, flap.

It quietly flew outside and headed to the kitchen.

On the table in the kitchen, there were fruits that Sejun had prepared for Paespaes to eat.

There were elixir cherry tomatoes, grapes, watermelons, and all the other fruits that Sejun was growing.

[During sleep, you have stored 10% of your life force.][Leah Road]

Kkihiit. Kking!

‘Heehee. Secret stash number 2 will never be discovered!’

Leaving Fenrir, who was diligently digging to the right of the Creator God’s Tablet, Sejun moved to the largest cornfield on the farm.

For reference, Fenrir’s first secret stash was to the left of the Creator God’s Tablet.

“Aileen, can you give me the Fenrir’s 0.5% core fragment?”

Arriving at the field, Sejun asked for the fragment of Fenrir’s core that he had got yesterday.

He planned to test whether the crops that received the great achievement reward after dealing with the locusts could truly absorb the power of destruction.

[The Tower’s Administrator says okay.]

When Aileen responded and the core fragment appeared in Sejun’s palm, he buried it shallowly in the ground.

After burying the core fragment,

Drip.

Drip.

Sejun moved to the place where he had planted the thick darkness cherries and dropped a drop of the Harvest Elixir on the sprouts.

Creak. Creak.

The cherries grew rapidly. Since he had also used <Power: Abundance!>, the yield was expected to be high.

Sejun then went to the place where the sunflower sprouts were growing,

“Abundance!”

Drinking a mugwort juice potion, he used the power on all the planted sunflower sprouts and

Drip.

Drip.

He dropped a drop of the Harvest Elixir on two of the sprouts.

And then,

“Abundance!”

He used the last remaining drop of the Harvest Elixir on the Kidney Bean of Soil Fertility after using the power. Because the brown dragon customer was waiting.

After using all the Harvest Elixir, he returned to the cornfield and took out the fragment of Fenrir’s core.

[0.4999...9%]

How many 9s were there...? Even a rough count showed over 20. The power of destruction had been absorbed, but only very minutely.

“It does work, but...”

The effect was too weak.

“But at least the effect has been confirmed.”

Sejun decided to bury the piece of Fenrir’s core in the ground again and observe it further.

Of course, considering how excited Fenrir got over core fragments, Sejun surrounded it with thick stones and buried it deep to prevent Fenrir from taking it out.

At that moment,

Kking!

‘I sensed my core here!’

Thud. Thud.

Fenrir, having belatedly sensed the core fragment, came running.

But,

Kking?

‘Where is it?’

As the crops absorbed the power of destruction from the core fragment, it became impossible to pinpoint its exact location.

Kking!

‘I’ll find it!’

Of course, Fenrir wasn’t one to give up.

But,

“Blackie, didn’t I say not to play in the fields!”

Fenrir, who was digging up the field, got caught by Sejun and was forcibly put in the sling bag.

Kking!

‘I’ll find it someday!’

With only its head sticking out of the sling bag, Fenrir kept staring at the cornfield until

Kkirorong.

It fell asleep. This bag is just too comfortable...

While Sejun was carrying Fenrir and examining the crops that were rapidly growing as they absorbed the Harvest Elixir,

[The 10th Tower’s assistant, the great silver dragon Stella Hisron, has sent you a Voice Message Orb.]

[To receive the voice message orb, 1 million tower coins are required.]

[Do you wish to receive the voice message orb?]

A message appeared.

“Yes, I’ll receive it.”

There was no reason not to receive it since delivering it to Crisella would yield a 10,000-fold profit.

[1 million tower coins have been paid.]

[You have acquired the voice message orb.]

“Aileen, please deliver this to Crisella nim when she comes.”

Sejun immediately handed the received orb to Aileen.

[The Tower’s Administrator asks if you don’t need to listen to it.]

“Yes, I won’t listen.”

It was obvious that it would be Stella angrily asking why he hadn’t come to the 10th tower quickly. This way, he could avoid hearing Stella’s wrath-filled voice.

Sejun had made a very wise decision.

***

Underground of the Tower’s land.

[Oh?! This works?]

Flamie marveled as it absorbed the red mist through its roots.

Sejun’s great achievement was producing this effect.

Since Flamie was also a crop nurtured by Sejun, it could absorb a very minute amount of the power of destruction.

However, the scale of the “very minute amount” that Flamie absorbed was different.

[Great! Now I can go to other places too!]

Flamie began to extend its roots into areas it couldn’t reach before because of the red mist of destruction.
