Episode 40 harvest green onions
Outside area of the first floor of the tower.
10 awakened people were waiting for someone. A moment later, a man with blond hair and wearing golden armor appeared from beyond the black wall.
Today is the day to harvest the E-class magical cherry tomatoes planted by Gagel’s Top Farm project team. Michael McLaren, Gagel’s vice president, visited the farm in person.
“Vice Chairman, this way.”
The research team leader guided Michael to the Top Farmer project headquarters. On the first floor of the tower, individuals or groups could rent a building for use by paying a fee.
“How did you secure the land to build a large farm?”
“Currently, slaves are driving out the goblin villages on the second floor of the tower and securing the land.”
The people they called slaves were awakened people whom Gagel had taken over the debts of people who had borrowed money, forced them into slave contracts using the tower’s contract, and awakened them with tickets.
They could not even go out of the tower and only worked to repay a debt that they could not repay even if they worked all their lives.
While walking and talking about securing land for a large farm, Michael arrived at the headquarters yard and saw a field full of cherry tomatoes.
“Finally…”
Tap.
An excited Michael went to the field, harvested a ripe red cherry tomato, and examined it. Even after looking closely, no explanation was found.
“It’s not an item.”
Michael, who had some expectations, was disappointed. However, we decided to attach significance to the fact that we had obtained the seeds to start the Top Farm project.
‘How does it taste?’
Michael put a cherry tomato in his mouth.
Snap.
Okay.
The cherry tomatoes burst and the juice inside came out.
“…?”
Mew mul mul.
Michael’s expression hardened and he chewed the cherry tomatoes carefully.
And
tsk!
Michael spat out the cherry tomatoes.
And
tok, tok, tok.
Michael’s hands quickly harvested other cherry tomatoes and tasted them one by one.
But
“How did this happen?!”
Michael shouted, throwing the cherry tomatoes in his hand.
“Vice President, what’s going on?”
“What happened?! This doesn’t taste like anything!”
“yes?!”
At Michael’s words, the research team members who grew cherry tomatoes quickly began to taste them.
“This can’t be possible… How can it taste like this…”
The research team leader looked in disbelief. I added all the necessary nutrients, but the cherry tomatoes had no taste.
Michael left the tower with the research team leader and instructed the research team leader to analyze the cherry tomatoes.
Still, I didn’t know that if I used the company’s technology, I might be able to improve the taste of cherry tomatoes by improving them.
A few hours later, the research team leader came with a report analyzing the cherry tomatoes harvested from the tower.
“What happened?”
“All the ingredients are below the standard. It is of the lowest grade and has no commercial value at all. Plus, for some reason, there are no seeds inside.”
“There are no seeds?!”
“yes.”
Without seeds, it is impossible to grow cherry tomatoes, let alone improve varieties.
“Whew. If a transaction is held on the 38th floor this time, do whatever you can to secure all D-class magical cherry tomatoes and grow them again! Got it?!”
“yes!”
Michael decided that if he couldn’t get an E-class, he would put his hopes on a D-class magical cherry tomato.
‘It will change as your grade increases.’
Thanks to Michael’s direction, Theo’s sales were set to hit an all-time high once again.

After Theo left, Pullman Ben Sejun prepared lunch all morning.
Today’s menu is piranha spicy stew made with piranha, green onions and carrots in a pot and seasoned with red pepper powder and salt. While Sejun was organizing the items Theo had bought, he found red pepper powder in the pot.
“If you had something valuable like this, Theo, you would have told me a long time ago. Hehehe.”
Sejun ate the soup in the pot with a spoon, thinking that when Teo came, he would put him on his lap for five hours and let him eat as much soup as he wanted.
Slurp.
“Ugh…”
The spicy taste of the red pepper powder made from Cheongyang peppers made Sejun’s mouth tingle.
Bye?
The black rabbit carefully dipped into the ominous red liquid with its paw and ate it. What Sejun ate was a black rabbit that he would only feel better if he ate it all.
Bye!!
The black rabbit that ate the maeuntang soup hurriedly went to the pond and gulped down water as if a fire was burning in its mouth.
Sejun was able to have the piranha spicy stew all to himself, thanks to the black rabbit that had eaten the pepper shaking his head and giving up.
Due to a lack of ingredients, the taste was much lacking compared to the spicy stew he ate outside, but Sejun ate the Pirinia spicy stew so cleanly and deliciously that the bottom was visible due to the spicy taste of eating it for the first time in almost 200 days.
“Sweet. Haha. Spicy. Spicy.”
Sejun started making cherry tomato juice to relieve the spicy taste.
Chug-!Chuk-! It buzzed
as Sejun started squeezing the cherry tomato juice into the empty pot
.
Poison bees flew in and dropped honey into the pot. When Sejun, who had finished making the sweet cherry tomato juice, was soothing the spiciness by ladling the juice into a tumbler
[Top’s manager says he also wants to eat cherry tomato juice.]
“I knew that would be the case and I made a lot of it. Give me the quest.”
[Quest occurs.]
[Quest: Serve cherry tomato juice with honey to the tower manager.] Reward:
When
Eileen’s favor is rejected: Disappointment
“Now, take it.”
The cherry tomato juice in Sejun’s pot disappeared and the quest was completed.
[The top manager is delighted with the cherry tomato juice, which is both delicious and good for the body.] [The
top manager asks why they are not giving us the crayfish they ate last time.]
“We need to save on that. Let’s wait and eat it next week. ”
[The tower manager says he can wait well.] There may
not be a large number of crayfish, but after luring them with the blood of their fellow fish a few times, the number of people gathered gradually decreased, and now even when lured with blood, only about 1 to 3 fish gather.
So Sejun decided to eat only once a week to protect the crayfish population.
While Sejun was drinking cherry tomato juice and talking with the tower manager, Kueng
.
Kueng approached Sejun holding a glass bottle filled with honey. Honey, please!
“okay.”
Sweet.
Sejun opened the lid of the glass bottle that Kuengi brought and poured a gulp of honey on Kuengi’s front paw.
Since the mouth of the glass bottle was much larger than the mouth of the bottled water bottle, 1 lug in the glass bottle was equivalent to about 20 lugs in the past.
Lick lick.
Kueng quickly licked the honey flowing down his feet. The reason why Kuengi can eat so much honey is because the number of poisonous bees has increased and the honey harvest has greatly increased.
Currently, the number of poisonous bees in the two hives is approximately 400. Now the poisonous bees patrolled as far as 100 meters away from the cave.
And, perhaps stimulated by the appearance of the second hive, the poisonous bee queen of the first hive also increased the number of eggs she laid.
Thanks to this, these days, about 15 young poisonous bees are born a day in both hives combined, and the number of poisonous bees is increasing even more rapidly.
Kueng…
Meanwhile, Kueng, who had licked up all the honey, lay down next to Sejun and got ready to sleep, and the black rabbit that sensed him also came to Sejun’s lap and fell asleep. Sejun had no time to feel weak in his knees.
After taking a nap while feeling the body heat of the black rabbit and Kuengi, Sejun went down to the cave in the afternoon and harvested cherry tomatoes.
The harvest was quite large as the amount that could not be harvested in the morning was harvested, but Sejun finished the harvest without difficulty.
And
suddenly.
I cut 10 shoots from the sun’s pumpkin sweet potatoes planted in the ground. The purpose was to divide the green onions on the ground and plant them in empty spaces.
Deep.
Sejun planted Taeyang’s pumpkin and sweet potato shoots in the spot where he made a hole with the dagger.
[I planted solar pumpkin and sweet potato shoots.]
[Seed Sowing Lv. The effect of 3 increases the probability that the sun’s pumpkin and sweet potato shoots will take root.]
[Job experience increases very slightly.]
[Sowing Lv. 3 Mastery increases very slightly.]
[Skill Increase Lv. With the effect of 1, Sowing Lv. The skill level of 3 increases by an additional 5%.]
After planting all of the sun’s pumpkin and sweet potato shoots, Sejun looked at the green onions he had obtained and planted from seeds.
Until two weeks ago, it was about the thickness of a green onion, but now it had grown to the thickness of two fingers.
“Can we harvest now?”
Suddenly.
Sejun cut the leaves of the pie. However, no message indicating harvesting appeared.
“Is it because it’s not a fruit?”
Fighting.
Sejun pulled out a whole green onion just in case.
[You have harvested the green onions of antidote.]
[Harvest Lv. With the effect of 4, you have harvested crops that are one level higher.]
[Job experience increases significantly.]
[Harvest Lv. 4 Mastery increases significantly.]
[Skill Increase Lv. Harvest with an effect of 1 Lv. 4’s mastery increases by an additional 5%.]
[Experience point 36 has been obtained.]
“Huh?! One level higher crop?”
Sejun hurriedly checked Daepa’s options.
[Detoxification Green Onions]
The green onions grown in the tower are nutritious and delicious.
When consumed, detoxifies poisons of class C+ or lower for 1 hour.
When consumed by a non-awakened person, the liver’s detoxifying function becomes active for 24 hours.
Grower: Top Farmer Sejun Park
Shelf life: 135 days
Grade: C+
There were no popular fat breakdown options outside of Top. And although it was originally graded D+, the grade was raised one level to become grade C+.
“Is it good? As long as it tastes good, that’s fine.”
To Sejun, who had no chance of being poisoned by poison, the green onion for detoxification was just a delicious green onion. I harvested about 200 green onion roots, leaving a few green onions for Sejun to harvest.

Headquarters of the Phoenix Guild on the first floor of the tower.
“The number of times guild members go to the 38th floor of the tower has increased a lot these days. What’s happening all of a sudden?”
Phoenix Guild leader Leon asked while looking at the tower access records. I had just returned from a three-month quest on the 36th floor of the tower.
“These days, as guild members become more focused on dealing with wandering merchants on the 38th floor, the time they spend in the tower is naturally increasing.”
Deputy Guild Leader Catherine answered.
“A wandering merchant?”
“Yes. Guild leader, look at this. Isn’t it cute?”
Catherine showed me a photo she took with Theo.
“cat?”
“Yes. Theo is a wandering merchant. And she sells these magical cherry tomatoes.”
Catherine showed Leon a D-class magical cherry tomato.
“Magic power of 0.2? It won’t be of much help in battle.”
“You don’t know what. Take this and take it to your wife. You will be treated differently right away.”
“okay?”
Leon was intrigued by Catherine’s words. To be honest, the reason I’m doing this here is because I feel like I’m about to go home after 3 months.
“Here you go. I also had a hard time getting it, so I’ll give you 10.”
“thank you.”
“Was there any more quest achievement than that?”
“Now I’ve managed to collect three bottles of antidote.”
Leon answered in a weak voice. The deadly tarantula, the boss on the 38th floor of the tower, had a pattern of emitting strong poisonous gas as soon as the battle began.
So, in order to attack the boss, an antidote was needed, but there was no place to get an antidote that could cure the strong poison of the deadly tarantula.
While having difficulty conquering the 38th floor, Leon happened to meet an alchemist researching spider venom on the 36th floor of the tower.
I also received a quest to bring the corpses of 100 poison spiders that occasionally appear in a specific area on the 36th floor of the tower and receive an antidote.
And as a result of hunting the Poison Spider with Team 12 of the Phoenix Guild, I completed 3 quests in 3 months and obtained 3 bottles of antidote.
It takes 1 month to get one antidote. To defeat the boss on the 38th floor of the tower, at least 20 people were needed, which meant that it would take 17 months to defeat the boss on the 38th floor of the tower.
“Whew.”
“Go home first and get some rest.”
“okay.”
Leon, who returned home after three months, was able to receive his wife’s welcome thanks to the magical cherry tomatoes that Catherine gave him.

“Mean meow meow.”
“Here he comes.”
“At the signal, attack.”
“yes.”
The three silver wolves prepared to run out as they saw Theo humming as he came out of the merchant passage leading from the 70th to the 60th floor.
and
“Now is the time!”
Crumble. Three silver wolves ran out and surrounded Theo.
at that time
“…!”
“…!”
“…Chief?”
Following Theo, the Black Minotaurs Woo Cheonsam and Woo Cheonsa came out of the merchant aisle.
“Fuhuhu. Now it’s my turn!”
Theo smiled like a villain and looked at the silver wolves.
