Day 245 of the shipwreck.
When Sejun is harvesting cherry tomatoes
[The seed shop opens.]
[Sejun Park’s grade is average.] [
4 types of seeds to be sold today are shown randomly.]
[At the current grade, you can choose the seeds you want from among the top 5 coins. [You can purchase as much as you want.]
The seed store opened and seeds available for purchase today appeared.
[50 black bean seeds – 5 top coins]
[100 radish seeds – 1 top coin]
[25 pumpkin seeds – 5 top coins]
[500 onion seeds – 5 top coins]
“Huh?!”
The prices of seeds have risen significantly compared to before.
In the past, it was definitely 0.1 Top Coin for 100 radish seeds, but now the price has risen 10 times to 1 Top Coin for 100 seeds.
“Is this also because food prices have risen?”
Wolves went up and down the 67th floor of the tower, bringing various news from the tower. One of them is that food prices in the tower are rising rapidly due to the Red Locust.
At first I thought it made no sense. What does this mean when food is overflowing due to the Red Locust?
But it made sense when I thought about it not now, but a few months from now. Even if the plants start growing now, they won’t be edible until several months later.
But currently, the 67th floor of the tower is almost like a wasteland. This meant that one floor of the tower completely stopped producing food.
In addition, other floors of the tower, which experienced a great famine 100 years ago, hoarded a large amount of food upon hearing the news of the Red Locust’s appearance, and the grid of large landowners on the 55th floor of the tower, the largest granary of the Black Tower, did not release food, causing food prices to rise rapidly. .
At the same time, he remembered the wolves wagging their tails and looking at him with respect, shrugging their shoulders.
“But what should I buy?”
Sejun thought while looking at the seeds. The price was ambiguous. If you buy two, it will inevitably be over the top 5 coins and you can only buy one.
“Hmm…”
After much deliberation, Sejun decided to buy onions. Onions remove the fishy smell and add sweetness, so they go well with most dishes.
And these days, due to limited ingredients, rabbits are trying to eat their own dishes, so I felt like I could regain my pride with these onions.
“Hehehe. I’ll show you the real taste of rabbits.”
Sejun spoke like a villain and bought onions.
[500 onion seeds were purchased.]
[A total of 5 Top Coins will be deducted from Sejun Park’s account at Seed Bank.]
[50 seed store mileage points will be accumulated.]
[A total of 106 seed store mileage points will be accumulated.]
Jalgrak. .
A small leather bag containing onion seeds appeared in Sejun’s hand.
[Thank you for using the Seed Shop.]
[After 30 days, you can return to Seed Shop Lv. 2 can be used.]
Sejun planted 500 onion seeds in the remaining field in the cave and began harvesting cherry tomatoes again.
At that time
[The tower manager asks what his grandfather and father talked about.]
Eileen spoke to him for the first time since the blue moon.
***
“Kaaaa! I slept well!”
Eileen, who worked hard and screamed during the blue moon, slept soundly for a few days and woke up greatly stretched. Eileen was in a deep sleep due to the aftereffects of Dragonheart’s runaway.
“I slept too much. What is this amazing human doing? Summon a crystal ball.”
Eileen summoned a crystal ball to see Sejun.
[The number of unread alarms has exceeded 1,000.]
[Please clear the alarms.]
“It’s happening again.”
The crystal ball’s alarm, which had been accumulating for several days, was interfering with Eileen’s vision.
Eileen quickly dismissed the alarm. I saw several red alarms, but I thought they were the alarms on the 67th floor of the tower.
After removing the alarm and using the clean crystal ball, Eileen looked around the farm to find Sejun. The farm has become so large that now we have to search for it like this.
“It’s gotten wider over the past few days.”
When Eileen was looking around the farm and looking for Sejun,
“Huh?!”
I saw Kueng swinging a tree branch. It was not a typical tree branch that shrank and increased in size.
“What is it?”
When Eileen asks Kuengi,
[Crimson Giant Honeybear says it is a branch of a corrupted Ent that absorbed the energy of the Blue Moon.]
“A corrupted Ent that absorbed the energy of the Blue Moon?! It’s an incredibly strong guy? Where did you get that from?”
[Crimson Giant Honey Bear boasts that his father gave him to him.]
“An extraordinary human being?”
It was clear that something had happened while he was asleep.
Eileen asked her mother Crimson Giant Bear for more details and asked,
“Huh? The statue in the fountain moved?!”
“You said they were my grandfather and father?!”
He found out that his grandfather and father communicated with Sejun through the black dragon statue.
“What did you talk about with Grandpa and Dad?”
[Top Farmer Park Se-jun says that Aileen’s father and grandfather have asked them to take good care of Eileen and help manage the tower in the future.]
“You are taking good care of me?!”
Eileen was greatly surprised by Sejun’s words. Are you asking me to take care of myself?!
“Am I allowed to get married?”
[Top Farmer Park Se-jun strongly denies it, waving his hands.]
[Top Farmer Park Se-jun hurriedly corrects himself, saying that what he was asking for was that he would continue to help treat Eileen’s Dragon Heart.]
But
, “Hehehe. Then just 300.” Just wait a year.”
Eileen wasn’t looking at Sejun’s message because she was just letting her imagination run wild.
***
When he followed Theo to the 75th floor of the tower, Oren remembered what his father had said before leaving Granier Village that in five days the entire Black Wolf clan would stay in the village for about a month to hunt something.
‘I said it was because of a request from the Wizards Association.’
Black Wolf mercenaries exist on the 89th floor of the tower. They were stronger wolves than the Silver Wolves on the 85th floor of the tower. So, I asked Theo to go to Granier Village.
Oren thought that hiring just three Black Wolves would be enough to subdue Theo and the Silver Wolves and steal the contract.
‘And if I just take the contract away…’
I was thinking of using the contract invalidation potion I had at home to invalidate the contract.
‘When that time comes, I won’t leave you alone, Theo!’
While Oren was vowing revenge, Theo and the others arrived at the entrance to Granier Village.
“I will go home first to tell my father the news and prepare to welcome Representative Te.”
“It’s good!”
When Oren said that he would prepare to welcome him, Theo cheerfully agreed.
Crumble.
Elka growled quietly as she watched Oren running home. Theo didn’t seem to notice yet, but Oren’s trick was clearly visible to Elka.
The whole time they were moving to Granier Village, Theo was staring at the back of his head like that, but Theo didn’t even notice it, which was even more impressive.
But Elka stayed still. Rather, I was grateful when Oren did something clever.
‘Then I can get more money for my life.’
Elka was influenced by Sejun and Theo and linked everything to money.
Just,
“넝넄뽕.”
Elka became a little anxious because of Iona humming as she watched Oren walking away.
At that time
, “Let’s go!”
Theo confidently entered the village. It was Theo who was returning home almost a year after running away from the village at night.
However, Theo was embarrassed to see the village as lifeless as it was when he left.
“Why is everyone like this?”
The cats looked gaunt and listless, as if they had starved for several days. Most people reacted lukewarmly or showed no interest in seeing Theo. Because of this, he could not announce his brilliant return to the village.
“What? Why are the cats so listless? What happened to Jeff Intern Granier Village?!”
Theo grabbed Jeff by the collar and questioned him.
“Well… it wasn’t like this when I left…”
Looking at the expressions on Jeff and the other cats’ faces, they seemed completely unaware. Rather, anxiety and worry were visible in their eyes. It was because of my family.
“Go home and find out what’s going on!”
Theo, feeling weak, sent the interns home.
“Thank you, Representative Te!”
“If you run away, I’ll double your contract period!”
“yes!”
“And take this too.”
Theo took out grilled fish from the bag and distributed it to the interns.
“thank you!”
The cats were grateful for Theo’s consideration and hurried home.
And Theo went into his favorite grilled fish restaurant.
“Welcome…Teonyan?”
“Boss, it’s been a while. But why is the village like this?”
Theo asked the fish store owner. Asking the interns to find out what was going on was just an excuse. It was Theo, the tsundere cat.
“These days, monsters resembling frogs have been appearing in Lake Zenka, so I can’t even see the fish.”
“You mean a monster that resembles a frog?”
“That’s right. That’s why all the cats in the village are starving right now.”
According to the owner of a grilled fish shop, no fish can be caught in Lake Zenka, which was responsible for about 70% of the fish eaten by cats in Granier Village, because Frogs, monsters that resemble frogs, suddenly appeared a week ago.
“Just eat this first.”
Since he had gotten fish from the grilled fish shop owner several times when he had no money, Theo wanted to repay his debt, so he handed over 50 grilled fish and went out.
“Let’s go to Oren’s house first!”
Theo took the rest of the group and headed to Oren’s house.
***
“father!”
“Oren! Why are you so late?!”
Oren’s father Israel welcomed Oren and asked.
“That’s…”
To hide his mistake, Oren slightly changed his story about being defrauded by Scaram and said that he was blackmailed by Theo, lost all his money, and signed a contract to work for Theo for 10,000 days.
“What?! Theo hired a Silver Wolf free mercenary to threaten you and sign the contract?!”
“yes. Theo will be here in a little while. My father asks the Black Wolf clan to take the contract from Theo.”
“Come on! Just trust me! Even so, we are hosting Hegel, the chief of the Black Wolf tribe, at our house. If I ask, you will listen.”
Israel shouted loudly and took Oren to the room where Hegel was staying.
“Good. There are about three Silver Wolves, so it’s enough for me to come out alone.”
Hegel, who was burdened by the many burdens he had to endure while staying here, gladly accepted Israel’s request.
At that time,
“Oren! Where are you?!”
Theo arrived at Oren’s house.
“I have a good idea. If you take action after I take action, Hegel will be able to subdue them more easily.”
“There’s no need for that… I understand.”
Hegel was a little reluctant to hear Oren’s confident words, but he was the son of the landlord. He agreed.
“Let’s go.”
“Okay.”
Hegel followed Israel and Oren to where Theo’s group was.
Then,
“Everyone, don’t move!” Or this hamster will die! Hegel, now!”
Oren, who had approached Theo, suddenly snatched Iona from above Elka’s head and pointed his claws at his neck, shouting at Hegel.
‘Hey! ‘You crazy bastard!’
Hegel was astonished to see Oren pointing his claws at the neck of Iona, the head of his employer’s wizard association.
