Chapter 383: I've Received Many Stamps From the Slaves, Meow!

TL: Hanguk

“Time to get to work.”

After having breakfast, Park Sejun went to Podori to harvest the grapes left from yesterday.

Kurorong.

On Sejun’s back was Cuengi, who had fallen asleep while whining. Even though Sejun had given him an allowance, the mental shock of losing his allowance seemed quite severe.

Of course, Cuengi wasn’t the only one clinging to Sejun’s body. In the sling bag on his chest was Fenrir, and on his lap sat Theo.

Am I some kind of koala?

Sejun lightly lamented his situation and then,

“Good morning, Podori.”

He greeted Podori.

[Yes! Good morning, Sejun-nim!]

Podori responded to Sejun’s morning greeting in a polite voice.

Since becoming a World Tree, Podori’s voice had always carried an air of arrogance, but starting from yesterday, it had suddenly reverted to its old self.

Thanks to this, Sejun felt relieved of the burden and chatted with Podori about various things while harvesting grapes.

Then,

“Podori, by the way, how can our Flamie become a World Tree?”

Sejun asked Podori, who had become a World Tree, for career counseling for Flamie.

[What?! A World Tree?!]

Podori was greatly flustered by Sejun’s question.

The flustered response implied ‘Flamie-nim has already surpassed the World Tree’, but Sejun took it differently.

‘Does our Flamie have no hope of becoming a World Tree?’

Sejun misunderstood and continued to harvest grapes silently afterward.

After harvesting the grapes, Sejun went to the winery to make grape wine for the dragon meeting.

Normally, it would be impossible to make grape wine in 10 days, but

“Fermentation.”

[Using Fermentation Lv. 4.]

[Due to the effect of Fermentation Lv. 4, the fermentation period is reduced by one day.]

[Due to the effect of Fermentation Lv. 4, the process slightly speeds up.]

[Due to the effect of Fermentation Lv. 4, the flavor slightly deeper.]

[Your proficiency in Fermentation Lv. 4 slightly increases.]

Sejun had the fermentation skill he had diligently leveled up until now.

With the fermentation skill reaching level 4, he gained an effect that allowed him to shorten the fermentation period by one day once a day.

After maturing the grape wine this way, Sejun also made Samyangju with the golden rice.

Until now, Sejun had made Samyangju using rice flour obtained from wealth-devouring rice dough.

Now that he had plenty of rice, he wanted to try making Samyangju with his own crops.

As Sejun steamed the cooked rice to use in the base liquor,

Kueng?

[Is it time to eat?]

Cuengi woke up to the savory smell.

“Cuengi, are you hungry?”

Kueng! Kueng!

[Yes! Cuengi is hungry!]

Cuengi responded confidently to Sejun’s question. What is this confidence for?

“Here, eat this for now.”

Sejun peeled an egg fruit and handed it to Cuengi.

Kuehehehe.

Cuengi ate it deliciously.

At that moment,

Tap.

Fenrir tapped Sejun’s chest with his front paw, calling him.

Kking! Kking!

‘I want to eat that too! Give it to me quickly!’

“Alright. Here.”

When Sejun quartered the egg fruit and gave a piece, Fenrir began to eat it hungrily.

“Chairman Park, I want the yolk too, meow!”

Theo, true to his habit of aiming for power, only eats the yolk.

“Got it. Here.”

Sejun gave the yolk to Theo and ate the white himself.

While the four of them ate the egg fruit, the cooked rice was ready, and Sejun put the base liquor in a jar, then went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

“First, let’s wash the rice...”

When Sejun poured water into the bowl of rice,

Kueng!

[Cuengi will help Daddy too!]

Cuengi, eager to receive the last five-star stamp and get his allowance, raised his front paw and shouted.

“Okay. Then, Cuengi, wash the rice.”

Kueng!

[Got it! Cuengi will wash the rice well!]

Cuengi answered and, after cleaning his front paws, began washing the rice.

Dada da.

In the meantime

Sejun took out egg fruit and vegetables from the Void Storage. Today’s lunch menu was fried rice topped with a fried egg, an omurice.

“Oh, I need to take out the tomato sauce too.”

When Sejun took out a glass jar of tomato sauce from the Void Storage,

[Guard Theo has defeated a giant tuna.] [Level Up.]

[Strength increased by 10.]

Thanks to this, Sejun leveled up comfortably while kneading the rice dough.

Since the amount that needed to be made was enormous, even after making dough again and again, there was still a lot left to make.

And then,

“Chairman Park, we brought the fish, meow!”

Kueng!

[We caught a lot!]

When Sejun saw the fish that Theo and Cuengi had brought,

‘This isn’t going to work...’

He realized that it was impossible to prepare 5 million servings with just this team.

“Summon the slaves!”

So, he summoned Ajax, Veronica, Zelga, and Orik and assigned roles to each of them.

“Cuengi and Ajax, knead the rice dough for Garaetteok. Theo and Veronica, handle the fruits. Zelga and Orik, prepare the fish.”

After assigning the tasks, Sejun stirred the liquor in the jar at the brewery and returned.

“Hey! Who’s prepares the fish like that?!”

He shouted at Zelga, who was completely mashing the fish instead of just cleaning it.

“No, this is how... to make the extract...”

“Who said to make the extract? Just remove the guts.”

“Yes!”

“Kekeke. Sejun-nim, I was doing it properly.”

Orik grinned slyly at Sejun, who was scolding Zelga, showing the fish he had prepared.

“Good. You’re doing well.”

“Kekeke. Thank you.”

“Zelga, this is how you do it.”

Sejun taught Zelga how to clean the fish again.

Just as he was about to get back to his own work, Sejun witnessed a horrifying scene.

Scratch. Scratch.

Orik scratched his butt, then picked his nose, scratched his ear, and continued to handle the fish with the same hand.

“Orik.”

“Kekeke. Yes, what is it?”

“Who told you to touch the food with hands that you scratched your butt, picked your nose, and scratched your ear with?”

“Kekeke. Is that a problem?”

Orik asked in a voice that implied he didn’t understand what the issue was. Apparently, goblins had no concept of hygiene.

“You’re eating all of that...”

“Kekeke. Oh, thank you.”

Orik eagerly took the fish, even the ones Zelga had mashed.

Was this his plan all along?

“Kekeke.”

Sejun thought as he watched Orik’s sly smile.

After that, Sejun assigned Orik to garbage cleaning.

Two days passed just processing the ingredients.

On the 392nd day.

The Blue Moon, which Sejun was encountering for the 14th time since entering the tower, rose.

A blue moon in the dark night sky.

Finally, the background befitting the name Blue Moon was set.

“It’s beautiful.”

Sejun spoke as he looked at the Blue Moon.

At first, it was a terrifying moon that caused monsters to rampage, but now, it was just a beautiful moon.

“Hehehe. It’s also a moon that makes the crops better.”

Swish, swish.

Sejun smiled contentedly as he looked at the fields where blue energy was forming.

At that moment,

[Stella Hisron, the great silver dragon and the 10th Tower’s Helper, has sent a voice message orb.]

[Receiving the voice message orb requires 1 million Tower Coins.]

[Would you like to receive the voice message orb?]

A voice message orb sent by Stella had arrived.

“She really sends these diligently. I’ll accept it.”

Sejun received the voice message orb.

[As three pieces of the door leading to the 10th Tower have been collected, the door connects imperfectly.]

[You can now send a reply to Stella Hisron, the great silver dragon and the 10th Tower’s Helper.]

A new message appeared before Sejun.

“I can send a reply?”

Moreover, sending a reply didn’t cost him any money.

“Then I’ll send this.”

Sejun sent the voice message orb that Stella’s mother, Crisella Hisron, had requested to Stella.

And so, the voice message orb went to Stella.

“Hmph! Finally, a reply.”

Stella played the voice message orb.

And then...

“You bastard!!! How dare you mock me!!!”

Stella was enraged after listening to the voice message orb.

Somehow, instead of Crisella’s voice, the voice message orb contained an hour of Sejun and his companions playing around for an hour.

It was Sejun who had accidentally infused the voice message orb with magic power, activating the recording spell.
