Episode 14. It’s sold out.
Episode 14. It’s sold out.
“Huh?! He’s a wandering merchant.”
“Oh my! It’s a cat!”
“A wandering cat merchant!”
“Let’s go see what they’re selling.”
Hunters approached Theo with interest.
“Huh? Cherry tomatoes?”
The hunters who approached were disappointed when they saw the cherry tomatoes that Theo had piled up on the mat. I was expecting a weapon or a mysterious potion sold by a wandering merchant, but it was worth seeing because it was cherry tomatoes that could be eaten outside.
“I knew you foolish people would do that. These are different from the cherry tomatoes you used to know.”
Sejun confirmed when selling tumblers and other items that Theo did what he was told to do, so he gave very detailed instructions.
“Different?”
“That’s right. Just check the options.”
Theo followed Sejun’s instructions and appealed that cherry tomatoes were an item.
“option?!”
“Was this an item?”
Hunters began picking up cherry tomatoes to check their options.
“Magic cherry tomatoes?”
“Magic power increases by 0.1 for 10 minutes?”
“It’s too low.”
As expected, the response from male hunters was not that good. Their levels are 45 to 48. At their level, including the equipment options, they had 0.1 magic power but only one mana stat.
But
“Can I break down 10g of fat just by eating this?”
“Is this really possible?”
The female hunters’ reactions were different. They immediately recognized the true value of the product. There were countless women who wanted to stay in shape while eating delicious food when they go out.
And above all, the options written on the item do not lie.
“How much is this?!”
Jessica, one of the female hunters, excitedly asked the price of cherry tomatoes. When she saw this, she immediately thought of her younger sister Anna.
Anna was extremely obese and underwent gastric resection surgery, but last year she began binge eating due to depression and her weight rose again to 120 kg.
For Jessica, who had been worried about Anna’s health these days, the magical cherry tomatoes felt like a ray of light.
“It’s 0.05 Top Coin per Magical Cherry Tomato.”
“what?!”
The other hunters were surprised by Theo’s words. This is because the price of a single cherry tomato was ridiculously expensive.
“I’ll buy half of you here.”
“Huh?! Really like this?! Half of it is 500 pieces!”
This time Theo was startled by Jessica’s words. 500 is 25 top coins. The sales amount in the contract immediately exceeded the top 5 coins. That meant that Sejun’s crops would have to be sold forever.
“Yes. I will buy 500. Here are 25 top coins.”
Jessica handed over the money. It wasn’t a huge amount of money compared to the cost already spent for Anna’s treatment.
“Why don’t you think again? Human, you’re buying on impulse.”
Instead of trying to get Jessica’s money to break the lifetime contract, Theo stopped her from making the purchase.
But it backfired.
‘They said I would buy 500 of them, but they actually stopped me?’
‘Isn’t there something to this?’
‘How many should I buy and give to my girlfriend?’
The hunters became curious when they saw Theo’s unwillingness to sell.
“Give me 100 too.”
“I have 50.”
“I have 50 too!”
Hunters began to buy cherry tomatoes competitively. Although the price of a single cherry tomato was high, it was not a lot of money for elite hunters like them.
That’s enough money to earn Top Coin in just a few days of hunting. They were willing to pay enough to satisfy their curiosity.
After the break was over, the hunters went back to hunting spider monsters.
“This…I can’t believe it…”
Theo cried as he looked at the empty mat.
“Wow… it’s sold out.”
The first ever sold out. The legend of Theo, the wandering cat merchant, was beginning.
***
Day 134 of the shipwreck.
“Tsk”
Sejun woke up energetically again today.
Every time I leveled up, I increased my strength and stamina with bonus stats, and my body was always in good condition, but now I felt full of energy every morning. In addition, it seemed like a secretly good thing to not suffer from minor illnesses, which is a characteristic of a top farmer’s job.
Ssuk suk.
Sejun went to the wall and started his day by drawing a stroke on the wall, which had become a habit.
Beep!
Beep!
Wow!
Bye!
The white rabbits and the black rabbits woke up and said good morning to Sejun.
“Okay. Good morning.”
After saying hello, the rabbits each started their own work. Sejun also washed his face in a small pond and started harvesting cherry tomatoes.
Tok, tok.
[You have harvested ripe magical cherry tomatoes.]
[Job experience increases very slightly.]
[Harvest Lv. The mastery of 2 increases very slightly.]
[Experience 10 has been obtained.]
…
..
.
While I was harvesting cherry tomatoes like that,
[I leveled up.]
[I acquired bonus stat 1.]
It had been a long time since I reached level 10. Sejun increased his strength with bonus stats.
“You’re doing well, right?”
Sejun thought of Theo. You would have met the hunters by now.
“How many do you want to sell?”
I didn’t expect it to sell out. Since he was so young, I was very worried about whether he could sell it properly.
“But I also taught you special moves. I guess I’ll sell half of them, right?”
Sejun taught us the special move: free tasting and kneading service. However, Sejun never thought that the cherry tomatoes would have been sold out in just a few minutes before Theo even used his special move.
“When cherry tomatoes start selling, my name will become known too, right? Hehehe.”
Sejun was proud that the crops bearing his name were being sold.
Then
buzzing.
A poisonous bee came into the cave through a hole in the ceiling.
“I’m here?”
Booby Boobee
Today too, the poisonous bee stamped its attendance by rubbing its body against Sejun’s face and showing affection.
And
buzzing.
I went to the cherry tomato field to suck honey.
And how much time has passed?
Beep!
My wife Rabbit started putting dried pie leaves into the fire. Before I knew it, it was lunch. Time passed quickly as I harvested cherry tomatoes and helped the rabbits water the field.
Bang! Bang!
Black Rabbit, who was practicing hitting a wall with a hammer, called Sejun. The black rabbit always waited for the time to hunt piranha because it was the time of day when he could be most active.
“Okay, here we go.”
Sejun hurriedly moved to the pond and swung the torch left and right.
with a splash!
Wow!
Clean hammering. Now the black rabbit was very skillful at hunting piranha.
When five piranhas were hunted, the black rabbit’s body glowed for a moment.
“Huh?! Did you level up?
Nod.
The black rabbit nodded vigorously. I’ve seen
white rabbits level up while doing farming work a few times, but this is the first time I’ve seen a black rabbit level up.
“Congratulations on leveling up. ”
Aaaak!
The black rabbit looked at Sejun triumphantly. What about me?
The black rabbit’s shoulders were tense enough to make me a little worried. I was worried that he was going to go into the water and catch piranhas soon.
Meanwhile, the black rabbit was looking at other people . He ran to the white rabbit and loudly announced the news of his level up.
Beep!
Beep!
Beep!
The white rabbits congratulated the black rabbit.
Thanks to that, lunch was a little noisy. While the rabbits were chatting, we had lunch of grilled fish and grilled green onions. After finishing, Sejun quietly got up from his seat. These days, Sejun feels happy after lunch.
“Hehehe. I have to drink coffee.”
Sejun got up from his seat and with light steps picked up the tumbler he had placed on his reserved seat.
When Theo left and opened the tumbler to use as a cup,
“It’s coffee!”
There were 10 bags of Ganu in the tumbler. He sold it to Theo. Neither the merchant nor Theo seemed to have even opened the tumbler. It was
a huge bargain. Perhaps, if Theo had sold coffee instead of the tumbler, Sejun would have paid.
Sejun took the tumbler to a small pond, filled it with water about a quarter of the way, and
emptied it . .Tap.
I held the end of the Ganu and lightly flicked my index finger to shake off the end. I couldn’t miss a single coffee grain. I opened the opening of a bag of Ganu coffee that had been prepared and shook it out into the tumbler.
Then,
shake. Shake.
Shake the coffee grains. I closed the lid and shook it to dissolve it.
Click.
Slurp.
Opened the door and took a sip of coffee.
Shoot. It tasted
bitter, and the fishy smell of the fish and the sweetness of the green onions were swept away by the black waves of the coffee.
“Keuuu. Of course, it’s coffee after a meal.”
I didn’t have any tools to boil water, so I couldn’t make it because there was no ice, but drinking coffee with cool pond water wasn’t bad either.
Plus , it was
soggy.
Sejun poured a little bit of honey that he had saved in the water bottle.
“Oh, it’s good.”
The bitter and sweet flavors were combined to create a new taste.
The rabbits shook their heads as if they couldn’t understand Sejun, who was smiling as he drank the coffee.
On the first day of drinking coffee, the rabbits were curious, so give them a little. I saw it, tried it, and shuddered. It was the same with coffee mixed with honey. The rabbit’s tongue seemed to be more sensitive to the bitter taste of coffee.
Sejun, who had enjoyed coffee for dessert, started farming in the afternoon.
“Hmph.” Heungheung.”
Sejun hummed as he harvested cherry tomatoes and watered the field. I only had a cup of coffee for lunch, but I had fun all afternoon. That’s
how I ended the day on a good note.
Beep!
Beep!
The rabbits greeted Sejun and went to the burrow. I went in and got ready to sleep.
“Good night!”
Sejun also said hello to the rabbits and went to his own bed, patting the dirt and making a place to sleep.
At that time,
there was a buzz.
A poisonous bee was busy flying around the ceiling of the cave.
“You haven’t gone yet. ?”
I came early and left late these days, but this was the first time that the poisonous bee did not return by this time.
“Go ahead and sleep.”
Buzz.
The poisonous bee ignored Sejun’s words and flew around eagerly.
“Okay. I’m going to sleep. See you tomorrow .
”
Sejun fell asleep as soon as he laid his head on the clay pillow.
Buzz.
A poisonous bee worked hard to create something on the ceiling of the cave.
***
“Why aren’t you coming?”
Scaram, a wandering goblin merchant who committed fraud against Theo, waited for Theo to return. He must have been unable to sell the goods he handed over, so it was time to return disappointed.
‘And he comforted the disappointed man and lent him money, saying there was a bigger opportunity. ‘That’s it.’
Then, from then on, he will work like a slave until he dies to repay the money he borrowed at usury, not only the principal, but also the ever-growing
interest. It’s been a long time since I asked a question properly.”
Scaram smiled wryly.
Scarim, who had been waiting for Theo, went to the bulletin board where the sales amount rankings of wandering merchants were displayed. He felt proud as he checked his ranking once a day. It was one of life’s pleasures.
[Wandering Merchant Sales Amount Ranking]
…
..
.
999th – Scaram [45.2 Top Coin] 1UP
“Cluck, click. “I’m finally in the top 1000.”
I went up one level from 1000 to 999th. It was a ranking that was barely created by rejecting many novice wandering merchants.
After confirming his ranking, Scaram looked down at the names of the merchants who were higher ranked than him. These were objects that he would have to step on and climb up someday.
At that time, Scaram’s head rose slightly and then stopped.
“huh?!”
A name that seemed impossible to be there caught my eye.
982nd – Theo [50 Top Coins] NEW!
“How did this happen? They obviously couldn’t sell it…”
Scaram muttered as if he couldn’t understand.
***
Buzz.
Sejun wakes up to the sound of a poisonous bee’s wings. Until morning, poisonous bees were busy flying around the ceiling.
Then,
“Huh? Beehive?”
Sejun saw a small beehive. It seemed like he had been busy making this since yesterday.
“Are you moving in?
Buzz, buzz. Buzzy. In response to Sejun’s question, the
poisonous
bee moved up and down three times and rubbed its body against Sejun’s face as if it was asking for the best in the future. On the
135th day of distress, the poisonous bee became independent and moved into Sejun’s cave.
