Chapter 493: Pa… Park Sejun Assigned a Follower to My Temple!

TL: Hanguk

“Right. I should lay these out too.”

Sejun, who was waiting for the Blue Moon, hurriedly opened his Void Storage and took out some Magical Blueberries. He laid down some green onion leaves and placed the berries on top.

Even though they were all blueberries, the colors and names of the blueberries varied.

[Magical Blueberry]

[Magical Blueberry that absorbed the energy of the Blue Moon once]

[Magical Blueberry that absorbed the energy of the Blue Moon twice]

The more times the blueberries absorbed the energy of the Blue Moon, the deeper the blue color became, and their names changed as well.

The maximum amount of Blue Moon energy a blueberry could absorb was three times.

“Hehehe. Today, I’ll get to see the complete version.”

After about an hour of waiting for the Blue Moon to rise,

“It’s here.”

The long-awaited Blue Moon finally appeared.

Then,

[Luna, the God of Moonlight, bestows upon you the blessing of the Blue Moon with the Blue Moon’s moonlight.]

Luna quickly cast a blessing on Sejun.

“Thank you, Luna~nim.”

What should I give her in return?

As Sejun was pondering this,

Kkwek!

A Mushroom Ant passed by in front of him.

“Ah. I’ll assign one of the Mushroom Ants to manage Luna~nim’s monument. Mushroom Ant, come here.”

Kkwek?

Sejun called over a Mushroom Ant and assigned it the task of managing Luna’s monument. He then waited for crops infused with the energy of the Blue Moon to appear.

At that moment,

(Pip-pip! Good night, everyone!)

Flap. Flap.

Paespaes, who had just woken up, flew around Sejun and his companions, greeting them.

“Yeah. Did you sleep well, Paespaes?”

(Yes!)

“Paespaes, try this. It’s delicious.”

Sejun pulled out some green grapes that he had brought from the Silver Tower.

(Pip-pip! Thank you!)

Slurp. Slurp.

Paespaes climbed onto Sejun’s palm and began to suck the juice from the green grapes.

A little while later,

(Pip-pip. It’s so delicious! I’m full!)

Paespaes, having eaten ten whole grapes, lay flat on Sejun’s palm, his belly round and full.

He looked like a flying pufferfish.

Sejun quietly laughed to himself and gently stroked Paespaes’ bloated belly.

(Behehehe.)

As Paespaes lay on Sejun’s palm, reveling in the pleasure of being petted,

Swish.

The blue light began to be absorbed into the crops.

“It’s time to harvest.”

As Sejun got up,

“Puhuhut. Let’s have a competition to see who can harvest more, meow!”

Kueng!

[Cuengi will find them all with his nose, you know!]

(Pip-pip! I’ve memorized a lot too!)

Theo, Cuengi, and Paespaes hurriedly moved to harvest the crops, and

Kihihit. Kking!

[Haha! The great Blackie has awoken!]

Even Blackie, who had just woken up from his nap, was energetically running around the farm.

[You have harvested the Thick Darkness Cherry infused with the energy of the Blue Moon.]

...

..

.

Sejun also roamed the farm, harvesting the crops infused with the energy of the Blue Moon.

“I guess the kids will take care of harvesting the rest?”

Sejun, who had harvested a fair amount of visible blue crops.

I wonder if they are complete?

He went to the spot where he had placed the Magical Blueberries.

As expected, the blueberries had absorbed the energy of the Blue Moon, their color darkening and their names changing.

[Magical Blueberry that absorbed the energy of the Blue Moon three times]

There were also blueberries that Sejun had hoped for.

Grab.

“Come on, give me a good option.”

Sejun picked up the darkest blue Magic Blueberry and checked its options.

[Magical Blueberry that absorbed the energy of the Blue Moon three times]

→ A blueberry that grew inside the Black Tower, it has absorbed sufficient nutrients, making it delicious.

→ The Magical Blueberry, after absorbing the energy of the Blue Moon three times, has increased in magic power and gained three special effects.

→ Upon consumption, magic power increases by 10.

→ Upon consumption, activates the Talent: Swift Movements for 10 minutes, increases all stats by 30, and bestows the Blessing of the Small Magic Stream.

→ Usage Restriction: Must be Lv. 50 or higher, and have Magic Power of 50 or higher.

→ Cultivator: Tower Farmer Park Sejun

→ Shelf Life: 150 days

→ Grade: A

The Talent: Swift Movements had the effect of increasing body speed by 30%, and the Blessing of the Small Magic Stream increased magic power recovery speed by 100%.

“Oh, not bad,”

He smiled contentedly after checking the options.

“Puhuhut! I, Hybrid Vice Chairman Theo, have harvested a grand total of 300!”

Kuehehehe, Kueng! Kueng!

[Hehehe. Then Cuengi wins! Cuengi harvested 400!]

(Paespaes. I lost... I only harvested 200...)

In the meantime, Sejun’s companions gathered around him.

Kkihihit, Kking!

[Hehe! Butler! Make some roasted sweet potato chips with this!]

Blackie also appeared confidently, holding a Power Sweet Potato infused with the Blue Moon’s energy in his mouth, his head held high and covered in dirt.

“Sheesh. what is this? Maintain Cleanliness.”

[Park Sejun, the Tower Farmer of the Black Tower, has assigned Mushroom Ant No. 3003 as a lowest-tier follower in your temple.]

Theo was preparing to go down a different tower instead of the Green Tower.

“Huh? You’re going down the tower? Where are you going?”

“I need to increase my Impeachment Power, meow!”

Impeachment Power? What is he talking about?

While Sejun was wondering what Theo meant,

...

Theo had already disappeared, using his quick Meow Step to exit the 99th floor of the Black Tower.

Well... He’ll be back soon.

Knowing Theo’s tendency to always want to stick to his knee, Sejun was reassured and started his morning routine.

Clang.

Sejun opened the Void Storage and went inside.

“Good morning, everyone.”

Kya-kya!

Kiki!

He greeted the Destruction Pioneers and Destruction Devourers.

[‘You’re a Field’ Lv. 8 is activated.]

[You have planted the Destruction Devourer Seed into the body of Alice, the Mesmerizing Spider and 9th seat of the Apostles of Destruction.]

...

..

.

Sejun worked.

While Sejun was diligently planting seeds,

104.28.193.250

Kya-kya!

One of the Destruction Pioneers waddled up to Sejun.

And then,

Ptooey.

It spat a seed into Sejun’s hand.

When a Destruction Pioneer spits out a seed, it means they’ve planted 1 million Destruction Devourer Seeds.

“Well done.”

Kya-kya!

Sejun patted the Destruction Pioneer on the head, praising it, and then

Puk.

planted a new Destruction Pioneer Seed.

At that moment,

[Job Talent: Growing Seed has absorbed the care of the Tower Farmer and begun to grow.]

[The seed that has not sprouted begins to sprout.]

[The seed that has not sprouted has transformed into a sprouting seed (Stage 1).]

[The seed has gained the ability to use the Aura of Sunlight.]

[It will provide sunlight to crops within a 10-meter radius during the day.]

The Job Talent: Growing Seed, which had been nurtured by Sejun’s care, finally began to grow. (TL: It is a bit confusing, but the Job Talent: Growing Seed is a seed that grows when Sejun plants other seeds, nurtures crops, and harvests them. Based on the growth stage of this talent’s seed, additional effects will appear, such as this aura of sunlight effect.)

Aura of Sunlight?

Of course, the weather on the 99th floor of the Black Tower was always perfect, making the Aura of Sunlight completely unnecessary.

“Well, that’s just my luck.”

As Sejun was about to start working again, feeling disappointed

[Patrick, the God of Earth, urgently asks if you could come to the 10th tower quickly after completing Hamer’s quest.]

Since Hamer had been blocked, Patrick spoke on his behalf.

It served Hamer right to be blocked, but Sejun needed to go to the 10th tower quickly.

“Quest, huh? I was about to ask...”

Just as Sejun was about to complain about the lack of rewards for the quest,

[Patrick, the God of Earth, says that the quest reward will be good, and that it’s worth completing.]

Patrick spoke again.

And then,

“What are you talking about?! What do you mean ‘good reward’?! There’s no reward at all!”

Are you trying to mess with me?!

Sejun, who had been bottling up frustration, burst out in anger at Patrick’s comment.

[......]

Patrick fell silent for a moment in response to Sejun’s outburst.

[Patrick, the God of Earth, says he’ll check on it and get back to you.]

Ten minutes later...

[Three drops of the Enhancing Elixir have been added to the quest rewards.]

[10 billion Tower Coins have been added to the quest rewards.]

...

..

.

The rewards for Hamer’s quest had been updated.

***

75th Floor of the Black Tower.

“Meow meow meow.”

Theo hummed as he arrived at the Merchant District.

Sitting on the ground,

Chomp chomp chomp.

He started eating the Churu that Sejun had given him, while watching the merchants pass by.

After about an hour had passed,

“Theo~nim, what are you doing here?”

Jeras, who was patrolling the Merchant District, noticed Theo and approached him.

“Puhuhut. Jeras, nice to see you, meow! I’m looking for a merchant who can become a legendary merchant, meow!”

“A merchant who can become a legendary merchant?”

“That’s right, meow! I’m going to create many legendary merchants and increase my impeachment power! Puhuhut.”

Theo’s plan was to gather votes from the legendary merchants and use that power to impeach the system.

He named it the ‘Legendary Merchant Cultivation Project’.

“Uh, I see... good luck with that.”

This sounds like something bad.

Jeras, sensing trouble, quickly left, trying to avoid getting caught up with Theo who was grinning like a villain.

About 30 minutes after Jeras left,

Found one, meow!

“Puhuhut. You, become my legendary merchant, meow!”

Theo grabbed a passing merchant.
