Episode 25. Catch a falling bear cub.
“Mr. Representative, we tried all the extraction methods, but we failed to extract new ingredients from cherry tomatoes.”
“is it so?”
Misreading.
Jenna bit her fingernails as she heard the report from the research team directly led by Jenna, the CEO of the pharmaceutical company Ister. It was a habit I had when thinking deeply.
‘Is it impossible to extract it from an item?’
When his younger brother Chris told him that it would be impossible to extract something from an item, he got so excited that he overdid it.
“Still, the clinical test results are very good. We confirmed that when consuming Magical Cherry Tomatoes, 10g of fat is broken down and the basal metabolic rate increases by about 5-10%.”
“What about the overlapping effect?”
“For non-awakened people, when consumed, fat is reduced by 10g, but the increase in basal metabolic rate is only about 0.1%. The additional effect is minimal.”
“As expected.”
Jenna knew best, having experienced it herself after eating magic cherry tomatoes. I just wanted to check with the exact numbers.
“What are the side effects from excessive consumption?”
“There are no side effects other than those that occur when eating regular cherry tomatoes.”
“Really? Is it caused by excessive fat breakdown?”
“That part is surprising. We confirmed that even if you take an overdose of magic cherry tomatoes, if your body has little fat, it does not break down fat below 7-9% body fat percentage. Instead, the effect of increasing the body’s vitality disappears.”
In short, what the researcher meant was that overuse of magical cherry tomatoes would not harm one’s health.
“Okay. Please bring the rest to my office.”
A few days ago, members of the FDA advisory committee to whom Jenna had gifted the magic cherry tomatoes were being contacted asking if they could obtain more cherry tomatoes.
“Yes. But it sure looks like the Magical Cherry Tomatoes are good. The CEO’s jaw line has recovered a lot.”
“Hohoho. Thank you.”
Jenna felt better after hearing the research team leader’s words. The research to extract ingredients from magical cherry tomatoes failed, but the diet succeeded.

Day 165 of the shipwreck.
“Tsk!”
Sejun got up and added a stroke to the wall, completing another stroke.
“The fourth row is already 30% full.”
Although time seemed to pass slowly, before I knew it, it went by quickly.
Buzzing.
The poisonous bees woke up early in the morning and approached Sejun before he could suck the honey. In two days, the number of poisonous bees increased by 7, bringing the total number of poisonous bees to 60.
“Did everyone sleep well?”
Booby booby.
The poisonous bees responded by rubbing their tails against Sejun’s body.
Then
beep!
Wow!
Bye!
The rabbits woke up and said good morning to Sejun.
Sejun and the rabbits briefly ate sweet potatoes, carrots, and cool honey water and started farming in the morning.
From today, one thing has been added to Sejun’s work. Sejun decided to do the job of cutting the pie leaves that his wife Rabbit used to do.
As my wife Rabbit’s stomach grew, I entrusted her with the easy tasks of preparing meals and picking cherry tomatoes from the stems that Sejun had harvested.
Creep. Creep. Creep.
Sejun cut the pie leaves with incredible speed. Sejun, with Keynes’ training dagger, could be said to be an almost unrivaled mower in this cave.
The white rabbit with the carrier alone couldn’t keep up with Sejun’s cutting speed, so the white rabbit with the scythe had to help carry the pie leaves.
Sejun finished cutting the pie leaves in just an hour and immediately started harvesting cherry tomatoes. My physical strength has improved these days, so it wasn’t this hard.
Creep. Creep. Creep.
Sejun diligently cut cherry tomato branches with a dagger, harvested the cherry tomatoes, and brought them to his wife, Rabbit.
After harvesting D-grade magical cherry tomatoes yesterday, most of the cherry tomatoes harvested were D-grade. After Sejun became a D-rank top farmer, the fruits that were borne grew into D-rank.
“If Theo had arrived just one day late, we could have sold Grade D cherry tomatoes.”
I felt regretful. But thanks to that, I could eat as much D-class magical cherry tomatoes as I wanted, so it wasn’t all bad.
Suddenly.
With that in mind, while Sejun was cutting cherry tomato branches,
[7 ripe, magical cherry tomatoes were harvested at the same time.]
[Job experience increases slightly.]
[Harvest Lv. 3 Mastery increases slightly.]
[Skill Increase Lv. Harvest with an effect of 1 Lv. 3 mastery increases by an additional 5%.]
[Experience 140 acquired.]
[Level up.]
[Bonus stat 1 acquired.] I
leveled up a few days ago, and my experience increased while harvesting D-grade cherry tomatoes. I leveled up earlier than expected and reached level 14. Sejun increased his stamina with bonus stats.
“Shall we take a break?”
As Sejun stopped his hands, he looked around to see the situation of the other white rabbits.
Although his wife’s rabbit was absent from farming, Sejun quickly cut the pie leaves, leaving the Sickle Rabbit and Jiji Rabbit with nothing to do, helping the other rabbits, and the work progressed faster than before.
“Take a break!”
Thanks to the dagger that Theo brought, Sejun and the rabbits’ day became more leisurely.
At Sejun’s shout, the rabbits gathered around the fire, the official resting place.
“Now, let’s eat one by one and rest.”
Sejun brought two stems of cherry tomatoes that had just been harvested, removed the cherry tomatoes and distributed them one by one to the rabbits.
Deep.
Tsk tsk tsk tsk.
The rabbits sank their teeth into the cherry tomatoes and started sucking the juice, and
chu-! chu-!
Sejun made cherry tomato juice by squeezing it into a tumbler.
Then
buzzing.
The poisonous bees approached. As they ate like this, poisonous bees would sprinkle honey on the rabbits’ cherry tomatoes.
Buzzing.
Poison bees also approached Sejun.
“I’m okay.”
Today, Sejun refused honey because he wanted to eat the full flavor of cherry tomatoes.
So Sejun and the rabbits took a break and went back to their work before eating lunch.
Slurp.
“Oh, good.”
After eating salted grilled fish for lunch, Sejun washed away the salty and fishy smell that remained in his mouth with coffee. Today I boiled water in a pot and made coffee with hot water.
Pfft…
The black rabbit climbed onto Sejun’s lap and lay down to take a nap.
1 second later.
Bylolong.
“How can I fall asleep as soon as I lie down?”
Sejun looked at the black rabbit in wonder and then looked at the sky.
When about 10 minutes passed,
Kueng. Kueng.
There was a strange sound from above the cave.
“uh?!”
Sejun hurriedly got up from his seat and bap
?! bap?
Thanks to this, the black rabbit that was thrown away looked around in confusion.
But Sejun couldn’t care less about that. The sound coming from above wasn’t loud, but it was clearly a monster.
Jump!
As Sejun continued to look up, the black rabbit sensed something strange and quickly jumped up onto Sejun’s shoulder.
At that time, Sejun and the black rabbit made eye contact with a being with red fur sticking its head out through a hole in the ceiling.
Kueng?!
Slippery.
Kueeeeng!!!
The other person, more embarrassed than Sejun and the black rabbit, slipped and fell into the cave. While screaming strangely.
***
You can’t go there.
A place your mother always said you shouldn’t go to. They said it was dangerous because it was the territory of poisonous bees.
However, the baby Crimson Giant Bear woke up while its mother fell asleep for a moment and went outside to play by itself and got lost.
mom!
mom!
A cub Crimson Giant Bear found its way home, calling out to its mother.
However, the baby Crimson Giant Bear headed in the wrong direction and gradually moved further away from its mother, entering the territory of poisonous bees that had been told not to go.
mom!
mom!
A baby Crimson Giant Bear looking for its mother in the territory of poisonous bees.
Then
sniff.
There was a sweet smell from somewhere.
It smells delicious!
The baby Crimson Giant Bear forgot that he was looking for his mother and headed toward the scent.
Sniff.
The baby Crimson Giant Bear followed the scent and realized that the scent was coming from a hole under the ground, so he carefully put his head out and looked down.
uh?!
But there was someone looking at me from below.
Slippery.
The baby Crimson Giant Bear was so embarrassed that his legs gave out and he fell into the hole.
Save me mom!!!
***
“uh?!”
Sejun unconsciously caught the falling object with his hands. Just like that, a monster the size of a small dog with red fur was held in Sejun’s arms.
puck!
Sejun’s first thought when he received the monster was that it was soft.
Kueng?
The monster looked at Sejun who accepted him.
“dog?”
No matter how you looked at it, it was a dog. But when I looked at the name, it wasn’t.
[Baby Crimson Giant Bear]
Sejun put the cub Crimson Giant Bear on the ground.
Kueng.
The Crimson Giant Bear was still scared, so it stood on both feet, grabbed Sejun’s legs with its front paws, hid behind them, and looked around.
“What should I do with him?”
Sejun was worried about what to do with this Crimson Giant Bear that suddenly appeared. Having a cub means there is a mother, and she might be looking for the cub somewhere.
While Sejun was thinking like that,
he toddled around.
The Crimson Giant Bear cub began to explore the cave, thinking there was no one to attack him.
The first place we headed to was a bottle of water filled with sweet-smelling honey.
But
buzzing.
Parching!
As the poisonous bees take out their stingers at the enemy who has not only invaded the cave but is also looking for honey, they
scream! Kueh!
The baby Crimson Giant Bear screamed and hurriedly hid behind Sejun’s legs again.
Buzzing.
Poison bees were circling around the baby Crimson Giant Bear, preparing to attack.
Sweet, sweet.
Hiss.
The frightened Crimson Giant Bear cub trembled and even urinated. It’s such a pity if this happens.
“are you okay.”
Sejun calmed down the poisonous bees and sent them away.
Kueng.
When the poisonous bees disappear, a baby Crimson Giant Bear clings to Sejun, who protected him, for a hug.
“What is this?”
Sejun first held the baby Crimson Giant Bear.
Kurorong.
“what?”
As soon as it was hugged, the bear cub fell asleep instantly. Why? Why is the black rabbit sleeping so well in my arms?
Sejun questioned and gently placed the bear cub on his reserved seat.
Then he left the black rabbit to guard the bear cub and began farming in the afternoon.
Sejun was worried about the bear cub, so he checked on it from time to time. What
happens when you check on the bear cubs so often
?!
The black rabbit and bear cub, who should have been in their reserved seats, were nowhere to be seen.
no way?!
I was worried that the bear cub might have caught and ate the black rabbit.
As Sejun hurriedly looked around, he heard the sounds of a black rabbit and bear cub coming from the pond.
Bye!
Wow!
Kueng!
When the black rabbit was shown hunting piranhas, the bear cub looked at the black rabbit with respect.
Bang?! Bang!
The black rabbit looked at the bear cub with a very proud look. Did you see what your brother did?!
Kueng! Kueng?
The bear cub nodded and answered. Brother, you’re amazing! Can I eat this?
Bye!
The black rabbit answered cheerfully. Then!
Kueng!
After receiving permission from the black rabbit, the bear cub began to eagerly eat the piranha.
Sejun looked at the two and decided to leave the care of the bear cub to the black rabbit.
On the 165th day of distress, the lost Crimson Giant Bear cub began to seek lodging and food.
