Episode 33. feel empty space
Theo left for the 38th floor and Sejun and the rabbits finished their morning farming and had lunch.
The rabbit couple ate in the cave with their baby rabbits, and only Sejun and his child rabbits ate on the ground with their bear cubs.
Kueng!
The bear cub ate 30 piranhas and cried while looking at Sejun’s grilled fish with a sad face. I want to eat more!
As they grow faster, the amount they eat also increases.
“ruler.”
Sejun cut the grilled fish he was eating in half and handed it to the bear cub.
Kueng!
The bear cub bowed his head and accepted the grilled fish. I’ll eat well!
Wow.
Ododog, ohdodog. Ohdodog.
The bear cub put the grilled fish in its mouth, chewed it a few times, and then swallowed it whole, including the bones.
And
Kueng.
This time, the bear cub cried while looking at the carrots that the black rabbit was eating. Brother, give me that.
But
bam!
The black rabbit flatly refused. I can’t give you carrots!
Kueng…
The sulking bear cub turned away from the black rabbit. I hate you, brother…
After lunch time,
I slurped.
Sejun walked through the ruined field while drinking coffee.
Yesterday, when the field I worked so hard to create was ruined, I was so exhausted that I couldn’t even think of looking into it, but I can’t keep doing that. The damaged fields had to be re-cultivated.
“Luckily everything wasn’t damaged.”
Overall, I thought the field was damaged and all farming was ruined, but there were quite a few crops that survived.
When Sejun was looking around the field,
“Huh?!”
About 1km away from the cave, several mounds of dirt about 7m high were seen. what? It was something that had never happened before. Sejun approached the dirt pile out of curiosity.
“what?!”
There, next to a pile of dirt, were square pits about 7 meters deep. Judging by the two round marks at the beginning of the pit, it looked like a monster with horns had cut into the ground and lifted it up.
“How good is the power…”
Sejun looked at the highest part of the dirt pile, amazed at the monster’s power. Only the tip was a different color. It was black.
Sigh. Sigh.
Sejun carefully dug his dagger into the dirt pile and climbed up to look at the black dirt. The texture was different from the desolate soil on the ground. It was soft, not crumbly, retained moisture, and had the right viscosity.
At first glance, the soil was full of nutrients. I can’t believe this kind of soil was underneath the barren land. If only we could turn the land over and mix it…
However, in the current situation where there are no agricultural tools such as excavators or tractors, it was impossible to even dare to search the ground 7 meters deep.
If you ask the mother Crimson Giant Bear, you can do a little bit every day, but the monsters’ territory was shaken due to the recent blue moon, so the mother Crimson Giant Bear was busy patrolling.
Sejun decided to be satisfied with the knowledge that there was good soil beneath the ground.
After looking around the fields, I returned to the place where I had lunch
.
Kurorong.
The black rabbit and bear cub, who were waiting for Sejun, were sleeping while holding each other, as if they had reconciled at some point.
“Come on, let’s get up.”
Sejun woke up the black rabbit and the bear cub by patting their soft buttocks.
Kkuang…
Kkueng…
The black rabbit and bear cub stood up with their eyes closed.
“Guys, what is this?”
When Sejun took out dried sweet potatoes and honey,
pop!
Kueng!
The two barely opened their eyes and begged Sejun for food.
Mew mul mul.
Lick lick.
The black rabbit and bear cub woke up while eating the snack given to them by Sejun.
“Guys, let’s get to work.”
I didn’t give the snack for no reason.
Kueng!
The bear cub woke up, put both front paws in the ground, stepped back like a plow, and lightly plowed the ground
.
The black rabbit leveled the ground with a hammer.
And
puff, puff.
The shovel rabbits scooped up the dirt and made furrows.
Finally, when the small field was completed, Sejun planted sweet potato shoots cut from the sweet potatoes he had planted in the cave.
[A 10-pyeong pumpkin and sweet potato field was created.]
[20 experience points were obtained.]
After planting all the sweet potato shoots, Sejun left the bear cubs and rabbits who were making the field and went down to the cave.
Now is the time to harvest corn in earnest. Sejun started picking corn in the field.
Tuk.
Let’s pick the corn.
[You have harvested ripe, healthy corn.]
[Job experience increases slightly.]
[Harvest Lv. 4 Mastery increases slightly.]
[Skill Increase Lv. Harvest with an effect of 1 Lv. Skill level 4 increases by an additional 5%.]
[20 experience points have been obtained.]
“Let’s see what effect corn has.”
Sejun looked at Corn’s options.
[Corn of Stamina]
The corn grown in the tower is nutritious and delicious.
When consumed, it breaks down 20g of fat in the body and increases stamina by 0.2 for 10 minutes.
Up to 10 effects can be applied multiple times within one hour.
When consumed by non-awakened people, 20g of fat is broken down and skin elasticity improves.
Grower: Top Farmer Sejun
Park Expiration date: 60 days
Grade: D
“Skin elasticity?”
Although it was vague, I thought the information written on the item would be good to guarantee 100% effectiveness.
“Mom will like it.”
Sejun thought that soon he would once again share his news with his family, and this time, he would also deliver his crops.
He could have been upset because his crops were being sold outside under his name, but his family was not able to eat them.
Tuk. Tuk.
Sejun harvested corn again.
***
Tower 38th floor.
“Why isn’t the wandering merchant coming?”
“It’s past time for Teo to come…”
The hunters waited anxiously for Theo. Hunters received many requests this time to find magic cherry tomatoes.
This time, the requests were not from acquaintances, but from people whose assets easily exceed hundreds of billions of won.
Outside the tower, as the rumor about magical cherry tomatoes spread among the wealthy, they began to eat cherry tomatoes, which gave vitality to their lives, like medicine every morning.
They are people with a lot of money. The rare and good product attracted their attention, and the current price of one magical cherry tomato on Earth had risen to about 500,000 won.
There were plenty of people who would pay more, but the price did not rise because there were no sellers and no transactions.
There were plenty of people who would buy the magic cherry tomatoes as long as they went out.
Therefore, the hunters were ready to pay as long as Theo came. But Theo didn’t come.
Could it be that we bought it too cheaply in the last transaction and ended up on a different floor?
Hunters began to become increasingly anxious. And this time, I thought I should spend enough money.
I had no idea that Theo was late because he was busy picking cherry tomatoes and cutting pie leaves in the cave.
***
“Krung. Um … I lost consciousness again?”
Eileen sometimes lost consciousness due to lack of mana. It hasn’t happened these days and I haven’t had any seizures, so I thought I was fine…
Eileen stood up with a bitter look on her face.
Sigh.
“uh?!”
Eileen was embarrassed by her unusual physical condition.
Usually, when Eileen lost consciousness, it felt like her body was forcibly turning off a switch to survive, and when she woke up, her body felt very heavy.
But now my body felt so light that I felt like I was going to fly.
“Why are you so light? Ah! Cherry tomatoes!”
Eileen then remembered what had happened before she lost consciousness.
Magical cherry tomatoes filled with the energy of the blue moon!
As soon as Eileen received the five green cherry tomatoes that Sejun gave her, she immediately put them in her mouth and chewed them. The sweet and sour taste was so delicious.
While I was savoring the taste,
boom. boom. boom. boom.
Although it was weak and slow, I felt the beating of the dragon heart continuously and I had lost consciousness and now woke up.
“Then what about Dragonheart?”
Eileen hurriedly focused on her Dragonheart.
“……”
Dragonheart was so quiet that it was hard to believe it was even beating. And I couldn’t feel any mana at all.
“Did you expect too much?”
Eileen was disappointed and approached the crystal ball to look at the humans. It was clear that he would be eating delicious food alone while he was away.
Then
boom!
“Ako!”
As Eileen entered the room with the crystal ball, her head hit something.
“Ugh! What is it?”
Eileen flinched and looked at what had hurt her. It was Moon Cheonjang.
“Why is that?”
Due to his height and the distance from the moon ceiling of approximately 10 meters, his head could never touch the moon ceiling unless he flew.
“what?”
Eileen felt strange and went to the lake where she was bathing to look at herself. The black dragon reflected in the water was larger than Eileen knew.
“Huh?! I grew up? Crumble.”
When Eileen was looking at herself for a while while making a happy noise,
“Huh?! What was I going to do?”
Suddenly I felt like I was missing something important.
Oops!
This was not the time. Aelin hurriedly ran to the crystal ball.
“As expected! The human guy tried to eat something delicious except me!”
At that moment, in Sujeong-gu, Sejun was taking steamed corn out of the pot. Amazing timing. Eileen was blessed with food.
***
Tonight’s dinner was steamed corn and grilled corn.
“done.”
Sejun took the pot out of the fire and started removing the steamed corn one by one with tongs.
At that time,
[The tower manager says he also wants to taste corn.]
[The tower manager says he would like to be given just one.]
[A quest occurs.]
[Quest: Give a corn dish to the hungry tower manager.]
Reward: Very grateful.
When rejected: Very disappointed.
“Wait just a moment. It’s not over yet.”
[The tower manager nods, saying he can wait well.]
While the steamed corn was cooling, Sejun went near the charcoal fire where the grilled corn was being made.
The rabbits were slowly rotating the corn, piercing the corn stalk with a branch, grilling it on charcoal made from wood brought by the bear cub. The outside of the corn was roasted golden brown in the heat.
Next to the rabbits, there were 30 already grilled corn piled up.
“You can stop baking now.”
Beep!
Wow!
Bye!
At Sejun’s words, the rabbits sat down and started eating steamed corn and grilled corn one by one.
And Sejun picked up 5 pieces each of steamed corn and grilled corn.
“Enjoy your meal Eileen.”
[Quest completed.]
[The tower manager is very grateful as a reward for completing the quest.]
“Yes.”
Sejun gave Eileen some corn and started eating it with the rabbits.
The baby rabbits are eating corn next to Sejun in Theo’s absence.
Awesome!
Bang!
The babies tried to eat the corn, but it was still too big and difficult for them to eat.
“Let’s eat like this.”
Grumble.
Sejun picked up the corn that the baby rabbits were eating, scraped out the corn kernels with a spoon, put them in a bowl, and gave them to the rabbits.
Mew mul mul.
The cubs picked up the corn kernels in the bowl with their front paws and began eating them.
After a while
!
Damn it!
Wow!
The baby rabbits showed their empty bowls and cried to Sejun for more corn. It was quite a large portion, but I already ate it all.
“hang on.”
When Sejun picked up a piece of corn and turned his head to get the bowl, he shouted,
“Fuut!” what?”
I burst out laughing when I saw the babies. The chicks were disguised as corn using corn kernels.
The chicks ate about half of the corn kernels. The rest was stuck to the fur.
Wow!
Damn it!
Wow!
The baby rabbits had their bodies covered in corn kernels and were protesting for more.
“This is why it’s not enough.”
Sejun removed the corn kernels from the baby rabbits’ bodies one by one and put them in the baby rabbits’ mouths.
Wow!
Wow!
Wow!
The baby rabbits stuck out their snouts like baby birds and fought to eat each other.
“Uh-huh! Wait! I won’t give you a moving rabbit.”
Sejun held a baby rabbit in a stern voice, and took off the corn kernels that were stuck to the body, one by one, and put them in the baby rabbits’ mouths.
“It was easier when Theo was around…”
It was Sejun who felt Theo’s empty space for the first time. I missed the representative.
