Episode 21. Make dried sweet potatoes.
“Get in line!”
Theo lined up the female hunters and took pictures of them one by one.
“Please give me compensation.”
When I took the picture, Theo put out his front paw and said,
“Oh my! Look at the pink jelly.”
Smoothly.
Catherine played with Theo’s paw as if possessed. Theo was a little uncomfortable, but he had to get paid by this person, so he waited.
“Here.”
Catherine held out a bag containing white powder.
“What is this?”
“It’s salt.”
“It’s good.”
Swish.
Theo quickly put the salt into the bowl.
‘Fuhuhuhu. With this, I secure one hour ticket for Te Representative.’
At that time,
“And I’ll just give this to Theo. Thanks to you, I was healed.”
Catherine handed the cheesecake she had brought to Theo.
“Are you just giving me this?”
“Yes. I let you touch your feet.”
“Wow! Was that something like that?!”
Theo was greatly shocked by Catherine’s words.
‘Humans give you food even if you let them touch your feet.’
“Next human oranyanang.”
Theo took a picture with the next human in line.
chuck.
As Theo took the picture, he subtly placed his front paw on the female hunter’s hand.
‘Go ahead and touch it.’
The female hunters who took photos of Theo as he intended touched Theo’s front paws as if they were possessed, just as a sparrow cannot pass by a mill, and gave him the chur as Catherine had done earlier.
“Fuhuhu. Are my feet that attractive to humans?”
Theo said, licking his paws clean.
‘Fuhuhuhu. In this case, Park Se-jun, your knees are mine.’
Thanks to the female hunters, Theo made a big misunderstanding.
“My status is…”
This time, Kim Dong-sik’s shoulders slumped as he came home after shouting that he would take 200 magic cherry tomatoes.
At that time
, “Is there anyone here from Korea?”
Theo shouted after finishing photo time with the female hunters.
“korea?”
“The leader is Korean.”
Hunters looked at Kim Dong-sik.
“Are you from Korea?”
Theo approached Kim Dong-sik.
“Uh, I’m from Korea. Why is that?”
“I have something to talk about quietly. Follow me.”
Theo took Kim Dong-sik to a quiet place to prevent other hunters from eavesdropping.

Morning of the 160th day of the shipwreck.
“Aww.”
Sejun yawned and woke up. I had a bit of trouble sleeping yesterday. This is because the rabbit couple managed to celebrate their death yesterday.
Okay.
I added a stroke to the wall and started my day.
I scooped water from a small pond into a plastic container, washed my face briefly, and put 2 cans of honey in a tumbler to make honey water.
As flowers began to bloom on 732 cherry tomato trees a few days ago, there were more flowers for bees to draw nectar from.
In addition, with the addition of 5 new baby poisonous bees yesterday, honey production has increased rapidly, so even if you drink it every day, you are replenishing more honey than you consume.
Bang…
Bang…
The rabbits came out of their burrows and said good morning to Sejun in weak voices.
“You guys couldn’t sleep either, right? Now, let’s just drink the honey water for us solos.”
Wow!
Bye!
The child rabbits held out the carrot cups they had prepared in advance.
Gulp.
“You really shouldn’t betray me, okay? You, who were single from birth, are my only hope.”
Sejun said as he poured honey water for the rabbits. However, the rabbits seemed to be burdened by Sejun’s words, so they just took the honey water and went away.
Damn!
Only the black rabbit remained, took one shot of honey water, performed a performance of popping the glass on its head, and held out the carrot cup again.
“Yes. Black Rabbit, you believed it.”
Gulp.
Sejun poured honey water into the loyal black rabbit’s carrot cup. But the black rabbit also took another glass of honey water and left.
Tsk.
My mouth was watering at the rabbits’ betrayal.
Gulp. Gulp. Gulp.
So Sejun relieved the bitter taste of betrayal with honey water and started farming in the morning.
Talk.
[You have harvested ripe magical cherry tomatoes.]
[Job experience increases very slightly.]
[Harvest Lv. The skill level of 3 increases very slightly.]
[Experience point 12 has been obtained.]
“Oh plus grade.”
Sejun stored E+ grade cherry tomatoes separately. The E+ grade had a longer shelf life, so it was intended to be eaten later than other E grade cherry tomatoes.
Otherwise, I thought I could get a better price by sending it to Theo. There is nothing bad about having a long shelf life.
As Sejun was harvesting cherry tomatoes, a burnt smell began to emerge.
“I’ll have to take it out in a little while.”
Sejun was grilling roasted sweet potatoes for lunch. I can’t forgive the rabbit couple for what they did that night, but I still wanted to give them some pampering since they had a hard time.
Here, the only thing that could be said to be good for health was roasted sweet potatoes, which were recently harvested and rare.
And when the smell of roasted sweet potatoes became familiar, Sejun started taking out the roasted sweet potatoes.
But the numbers brought out were a bit high. A whopping 50 roasted sweet potatoes. No matter how much the rabbit couple needed care, there were too many of them.
Then
beep!
Beep!
Just then, the rabbit couple came out of the house in good harmony.
“Let’s eat!”
Wow!
Bye!
At Sejun’s shout, the rabbits came running for lunch.
Bwi…
Bwaa…
Bwaaak…
The rabbits ate a lot of roasted sweet potatoes and patted their bellies. The rabbits ate three roasted sweet potatoes. I worked hard, but I couldn’t seem to eat as much as carrots.
“Oh, I’m full.”
Sejun also ate two roasted sweet potatoes and got up.
[The tower manager asks if all the remaining ones are mine.]
“You gave me 5 earlier. I have to do this separately.”
[The tower manager is disappointed.]
“Just wait. I’ll give you something new.”
[The tower manager nods at your words and looks forward to it.]
Sejun spoke with the tower manager and peeled the remaining dried bean sprouts.
and
“Cut this for me.”
I asked the white rabbit holding the sickle to cut the roasted sweet potatoes into pieces about the size of my little finger.
The black rabbit was asked to lay the cut sweet potatoes side by side on top of the drying pie leaves instead of stacking them on top of each other.
“Now all you have to do is dry it well and you’re done.”
The roasted sweet potatoes were turning into dried roasted sweet potatoes under the warm sunlight.
***
Tower 75th floor.
Theo arrived at the merchant district where the wandering merchant headquarters is located. This time, I didn’t come to have fun, but to run an errand for Sejun to buy a few things.
“Pot, ladle, bowl, spoon, dagger, pot…”
Theo walked through the store area, muttering under his breath so as not to forget the items that Sejun had asked him to buy. Sejun couldn’t trust Theo, who was a bigot, so he had him buy only the five most necessary and cheap items.
“welcome.”
Theo went into the general store, picked up the items he needed, and took them to the store owner.
“1 topcoin pot, 0.2 topcoin bowl, 0.3 topcoin spoon, 0.1 topcoin, so a total of 1.6 topcoin.”
“I want you to cut it.”
“Hmm… Then I’ll give it to you for 1.5 top coins.”
“I want you to shave more.”
“We give it to our customers without any hesitation.”
“I understand.”
Theo answered and started to walk away without any hesitation.
“I lost. I’ll give you 1.3 Top Coins.”
“1.2 Top Coin. Otherwise, I’ll just leave.”
“Phew. Okay. 1.2 Topcoin.”
“It’s here.”
Theo bought the items and came out calmly.
But
boom boom! Boom boom!
Theo’s heart was beating violently.
“Phew. I did it.”
Sejun ordered three cutting operations as a minimum measure to prevent Theo from becoming a bully.
Once the other person tells you the price, ask them to lower the price, and if they say no, leave without hesitation. And if they catch it, they cut it further, a total of 3 times.
As Sejun taught him, Theo went to the blacksmith shop and tried to sharpen it three times, purchasing a dagger worth 20 top coins for 13 top coins.
“Fuhuhu. Now I am a wandering merchant who knows how to cut prices.”
Theo was proud and was about to go to the 99th floor when he said,
“This is something outside the tower.”
“Something outside?!”
“Okay. If we take this upstairs…”
I heard a familiar sound from somewhere.
When Theo turned his head, the goblin wandering merchant Scaram was there again, trying to turn away the new fox wandering merchant.
‘That bad guy…!’
“Don’t believe what Scaram says. That guy is a fraud.”
Theo interfered with Scaram’s morale so that the new wandering merchant would not suffer the same fate as him. Sejun stopped Theo from doing something crazy in the transaction, but Oh Ji-ryan didn’t expect it.
“What?! Do you have any proof that I’m a fraud?!”
Scaram was momentarily taken aback when he saw Theo, but instead raised his voice and shouted.
“You said that the tumbler had a preservation spell, right? Don’t believe it. This tumbler blocks contact with the outside world and prevents heat from moving, so the temperature only drops later.”
Theo said confidently, remembering what Sejun said.
“Profit… we’ll see.”
Scaram backed out, thinking that everything Theo said was correct and that this deal was a good one.
“Thank you. Thanks to you, I didn’t get scammed. What is your name?”
“What’s my name? I’m Theo.”
“It was Theo. Thank you so much for your help.”
“Yes. Be careful. Don’t act like a brat.”
“Yes. Goodbye.”
Theo got a protector and went up to the 99th floor in good spirits.
The merchant area where Theo disappeared. A new fox wandering merchant entered a shop in a deserted alley.
“Welcome. What can I get you?”
“Eternal Gold.”
The fox wandering merchant who answered passed the store owner and pressed the shield hanging in the corner.
Crash.
The shield was pushed back and a staircase leading to the basement appeared.
And as I went down the stairs, I saw merchants bustling about.
“What happened to the operation to arrest Xerath Agent Scaram?”
“Sorry. Failed.”
Xerath, a member of the Wandering Merchant Association’s Secret Inspection Bureau, heard intelligence about Scaram defrauding new wandering merchants, and was carrying out an operation to catch Scaram in the act by disguising himself as a new wandering merchant.
‘If only he wasn’t there!’
Crash.
Xerath gritted his teeth as he thought of Theo.
“Fuhuhu. It makes me feel better when I think of Scaram’s angry face.”
Theo ended up saving Scaram without realizing it.
***
An expensive foreign car arrived in front of an apartment in Bucheon.
“Is this Sejun’s house?”
Kim Dong-sik looked around the apartment and recalled his conversation with Theo.
“What are you talking about?”
“Let’s make a deal with me.”
“transaction?”
Theo took out a contract. The enforceability of a contract made at the tower was one of the most commonly used transaction methods because it worked outside the box.
Kim Dong-sik looked at the contract. The contract contained information written by Sejun in advance.
“Sosa-gu, Bucheon… deliver 50 million won to Park Se-jun’s family in room 701, building 305, New World Apartments?”
“That’s right. And I have to tell you that Sejun is well. The price is 200 magical cherry tomatoes and 50 top coins.”
Theo took out the cherry tomatoes he had set aside.
“I will!”
Kim Dong-sik, who needed 200 magical cherry tomatoes, shouted.
“But who is Park Se-jun?”
“Park Se-jun is an amazing man! He saved my life on the 40th floor. That’s why I’m running an errand for him.”
It was a scenario where Theo had a conversation with Sejun.
“What?! The 40th floor?”
Thus, unofficially, a rumor was created about a geniusly talented hunter who had reached the 40th floor.
‘It’s that kind of Hunter’s family… If you get to know them, it will help you later.’
Kim Dong-sik took out a Korean beef set from the trunk and entered the apartment.
And
ding dong.
Kim Dong-sik rang the doorbell of Sejun’s house.
