Episode 22. Say hello to your family.
Episode 22. Say hello to your family.
“who are you?”
A young man’s voice was heard from beyond the door.
“Ah, I came at the request of Park Se-jun.”
“Huh?! Mom!”
“honey!”
Kim Dong-sik’s answer caused an uproar inside.
‘Isn’t this what happened?’
When Kim Dong-sik was wondering whether he should rip open the door and go in,
it clicked.
The door lock was opened.
And
“Sorry to keep you waiting. Please come in.”
A man in his 20s opened the door behind me.
‘Are you Sejun’s younger brother?’
Kim Dong-sik entered the house carrying a Korean beef gift set. The house showed signs of wear, but was full of warmth and felt like it had been well maintained.
In the living room, there was a man in his 50s who looked similar to the man who opened the door.
‘He’s Sejun’s father.’
Sejun’s mother seemed to be in the master bedroom due to the commotion earlier.
“I’d like to formally greet you. My name is Kim Dong-sik, the leader of Team 5 of the Phoenix Guild.”
“Huh? Phoenix Guild?!”
Crash.
Sejun’s younger brother, Sedol, quickly started searching on his smartphone.
Phoenix Guild members are all celebrities who appear on TV at least once and are interviewed at least once. But a leader?!
If you are the leader of the Phoenix Guild team, you will find tens of thousands of photos just by searching on the Internet.
And after finishing the search, Sedol looked at the photo on his smartphone and Kim Dong-sik’s face in turn.
“That’s right. This is the real Phoenix Guild Team 5 leader Kim Dong-sik.”
“Then Sejun…”
“As expected, your brother…”
Looking at the atmosphere, it seemed like Sejun’s family was misunderstanding.
“I came to deliver this at the request of Park Se-jun.”
Kim Dong-sik quickly handed over an envelope to resolve the misunderstanding.
But
“Sejun…”
“Hello…”
caused an even bigger misunderstanding.
“It’s not a will. It’s 50 million won.”
“yes?!”
“…?!”
Sedol quickly took out the contents of the bag.
What came out of the envelope was a dazzling check with the number ‘50000000 won’ written on it.
“Park Se-jun asked me to tell his family that he is well. And this is my gift.”
Kim Dong-sik presented a Korean beef gift set.
“Is our Sejun doing well?”
“Yes. I’m doing well.”
“Oh, thank you, honey!”
Sejun’s father, Park Chun-ho, hurriedly snatched the check from Sedol’s hand and ran into the living room.
***
When Sejun did not return for more than three months after sending a message saying he would enter the tower, Sejun’s family asked the Korea Awakened Association to confirm whether Sejun was in the tower.
However, as two months passed and there was still no contact, I started to feel worse.
In that situation, Kim Dong-sik said that he came at Se-jun’s request, so they misunderstood that he came to deliver the news of Se-jun’s death.
After a while,
Park Chun-ho, who had entered the master bedroom, came out with his wife Kim Mi-ran.
“Thank you. Is our Sejun really okay? But why doesn’t he come out?”
“They say they can’t come out because of a quest. You don’t have to worry, mother.”
Kim Dong-sik answered confidently. The quest was Kim Dong-sik’s spontaneous idea. Sometimes, among the tower quests, there were quests that became invalid if you left the tower.
I also had a brief conversation with Sedol, and he said that it had been a little over 5 months since Sejun entered the tower.
No hunter has reached the top 40 floors in 10 years, but the top 40 floors in 5 months? A rare genius!
Kim Dong-sik began to become increasingly disillusioned with Se-jun’s talent. Then my eyes fell on Sedol. He had a good body, and if his older brother had such great talent, there was a high possibility that his younger brother would also have talent.
I was jealous. To the point where I want to wake him up by giving him a ticket myself.
But I didn’t do that because I didn’t know what Sejun was thinking.
When you become a hunter, you have the opportunity to gain great fame and money, but you have to risk your life to get it. Therefore, there were many cases where hunters did not recommend hunting to their families.
If you aroused someone without permission, the relationship could have worsened.
“Then I’ll just get up and see.”
“No. Go eat at least.”
“No, I came right after I left the tower. My family is waiting for me.”
“Ah. I caught someone who was busy. Then please be careful.”
“Yes. Then let’s go.”
Kim Dong-sik came out of the house, blocking Sejun’s family from leaving.
Grumbling.
The contract in Kim Dong-sik’s arms began to burn with blue flames. It means that the contract has been fulfilled. Because it was a magical fire, it didn’t burn anything else.
“That’s it.”
Vroom.
Kim Dong-sik started the car and headed home. Now it was time to take the magic cherry tomatoes and establish yourself as the head of the family.
***
Day 161 of the shipwreck.
As soon as I woke up, I drew a stroke on the wall and washed my face.
“I’m sure it was conveyed well, right?”
Sejun thought about his family. I thought that since Magical Cherry Tomatoes had started to become known outside of the world, people would know that I was alive.
So I wanted to send money to let people know that I was really living well.
Then
buzzing.
Poison bees were pacing back and forth near the tall corn.
“huh?”
As Sejun approached, he didn’t pay much attention to the corn stalks, which had been growing as tall as grass, but flowers had already bloomed at the ends of the corn stalks that had been growing luxuriantly
. In addition, sprouts from the seed potatoes he had bought at a seed store were also sprouting.
“Sorry. Guys, I haven’t been paying attention lately.”
Shoot!
Sejun quickly washed his face, watered the corn and potato sprouts, and apologized.
Thanks to this, the rabbits also woke up and started working as soon as possible.
139 out of 200 corn seeds grew, and 282 out of 400 potato seeds sprouted. The germination rate of seeds purchased from seed stores seemed to be fixed at around 70%.
‘I guess we’ll have to wait and see.’
Sejun watered the growing corn and potatoes and prepared breakfast.
This morning’s menu is dried sweet potatoes and carrots that were dried in the sun yesterday. I turned the dried sweet potatoes over once before going to bed yesterday to ensure they dried well.
Sejun picked one of the dried sweet potatoes with his finger to see if it was done well. The outside dried well so it didn’t leave a sticky residue on my hands.
“good.”
Sejun looked satisfied and put dried roasted sweet potatoes into his mouth.
Mew mul mul.
As soon as he chewed it, the unique aroma of roasted sweet potatoes and the sweetness of the sweet potatoes, which became more concentrated as moisture was lost in the sunlight, delighted Sejun’s tongue.
And
chewy.
The unique sticky texture of dried roasted sweet potatoes added to the fun of eating them.
Ododog.
Beep?
What?
Bye?
After eating all the carrots, the rabbits saw Sejun’s expression and looked at him with anticipation for new food. Can I eat it?
Nod.
When Sejun nodded, the rabbits cried and ran towards the dried sweet potatoes.
Beep!!
Bye!!
Bye!!
The rabbits began to eat dried roasted sweet potatoes with dazed expressions, as if they were intoxicated by the extreme sweetness.
[The tower manager asks if I forgot something.]
“Okay.”
Sejun filled the bag of washed apples he ate on the first day with dried sweet potatoes.
“Now enjoy your meal.”
The whole bag of dried sweet potatoes disappeared.
[Top’s manager is delighted with the sweetness of the dried sweet potatoes.]
Sejun, who had told the rabbit and TOP’s manager about the taste of dried sweet potatoes, also hurriedly started eating the dried sweet potatoes. I dried 40 roasted sweet potatoes and it seemed like they would disappear within today.
After eating breakfast, Sejun went to the field where sweet potatoes had been harvested a few days ago, carrying three carrot tops that had a finger-sized stem left over from the rabbits.
The place was already completed as a field where the black rabbit leveled the ground with a hammer and the two rabbits with shovels created furrows where new crops could be planted.
Sejun dug a raised bed and planted the carrots without letting the stems get buried in the soil.
[The upper part of the carrot root was planted.]
[Seed Sowing Lv. The effect of 2 increases the probability that carrots will take root.]
[Sowing Lv. The skill level of 2 increases very slightly.]
After accidentally learning that carrot sprouts can grow just by having carrot tops, Sejun banned the rabbits from eating tops.
And every day, they were planting about 3 to 5 carrot tops left over from the rabbits. Of course, some of the previously planted carrots were blooming and seedlings were also being prepared.
When I planted the third carrot,
[Seed Sowing Lv. 2 mastery increases very slightly.]
[Seed Sower Lv. 2 proficiency is filled and the level increases.]
“Oh!”
The level of the seeding skill has increased. This is good for farming. If you work hard, little by little, you will receive unexpected rewards.
This morning was rewarding as well.
“Heungheungheung.”
Sejun hummed and started harvesting cherry tomatoes.
While harvesting cherry tomatoes,
[I obtained 1mL of honey from cherry tomato flowers.]
[Beekeeping Lv. 2 skill level increases slightly.]
[Acquired 1mL of cherry tomato flower honey.]
[Beekeeping Lv. Mastery of 2 increases slightly.]
…
..
.
“Why is there no cornflower honey?”
Apparently, poisonous bees were busy going back and forth to the corn flowers, but there was no message that they had acquired the corn flower honey.
“Aren’t there any honey in cornflowers?”
When Sejun was thinking about whether there was honey in the corn blossoms or not,
pop? pop!
The black rabbit approached majestically. What are you doing? I level up!
It seemed like he had caught another piranha and leveled up. Isn’t this at the level of a piranha killer?
“huh?”
In Sejun’s eyes, every time the black rabbit walked, he saw dried sweet potatoes hanging on his butt and moving. It looked like it had stuck to itself after eating too hard.
“Hahaha. Do you want to eat this later?”
Sejun removed the dried sweet potato that was stuck to the black rabbit’s butt.
Suddenly.
I felt like something was being torn apart.
Bye!
The black rabbit screamed as if it was stinging. There were tears in the black rabbit’s eyes, as if it was really painful.
“uh?!”
When Sejun looked at the dried sweet potato in his hand, it was covered in black fur.
“sorry.”
Bye!
The black rabbit fell on Sejun’s lap with a sullen expression. It hurts, so knock quickly.
“okay.”
Thump, thump, thump.
Sejun took a short break while patting the black rabbit’s plump butt.
And then, just as I was getting ready to go to bed,
I snapped.
Before the poisonous bee entered the hive, it left something that looked like a yellow candy in Sejun’s hand.
[Obtained 10g of corn pollen.]
[Beekeeping Lv. The skill level of 2 increases slightly.]
“A bunch of corn pollen?”
It seems that poisonous bees came and went to the corn flowers because of this pollen instead of honey. Sejun looked at the corn pollen in his hand and put it in his mouth.
Grumbling.
As soon as I put it in my mouth, the corn pollen ball dissolved in my saliva and dissolved like cotton candy.
“Sweet.”
When Sejun was smiling,
tap, tap, tap.
[Obtained 10g of corn pollen.]
[Beekeeping Lv. Mastery of 2 increases slightly.]
…
..
.
The poisonous bees placed a bunch of corn pollen on Sejun’s palm one by one and returned to their hive.
Before he knew it, Sejun’s hand was filled with 15 bundles of corn pollen.
“Hmm.”
As Sejun put another bunch of corn pollen in his mouth and savored the taste, he said,
“I’m back!”
Theo returned after completing the third sold-out and running Sejun’s errands.
