Episode 58 Obtain a delivery contract.
[1,003,781 Red Locusts on the 67th floor of the tower have been killed.]
[6,038,811,918 Red Locusts remain on the 67th floor of the tower.]
[The number of Red Locusts on the 67th floor of the tower has increased by 7 compared to an hour ago. It’s gone.]
“Whew.”
Eileen was relieved when she saw the notification on the crystal ball. This is because the rapidly increasing number of Red Locusts has almost stopped.
“Hehehe. This is all thanks to this amazing person. When grandpa comes later, I’ll tell him to give a reward to the amazing person.”
Currently, the only floor that Eileen, who lacks magical power, can see through the crystal ball is the 99th floor. So I couldn’t know how things were going on the 67th floor of the tower.
However, even without seeing it, Eileen knew very well that Sejun played a big role in killing the Red Locust on the 67th floor of the tower.
[Contribution to extermination of Red Locusts on the 67th floor]
1st place – Sejun Park (303,113 animals)
2nd place – Iona (123,812 animals)
3rd place – Lizardman warrior Tamuro (11,929 animals)
…
..
.
This was because of the contribution displayed on the crystal ball. Thanks to this, Eileen’s depression disappeared.
Grumble.
Instead, hunger came.
“Heehee. I have to ask this wonderful human for something to eat.”
Today was a day for something sweet.
***
Afternoon of day 228 of the shipwreck.
Kwasik.Kwasik.
Kueng broke the leaves of the strong blade of the green onion.
“Our Kueng is good. We are good. We are good.”
When Sejun clapped and praised him, he shouted,
“Kkueng! Kueng!”
Kueng, who was in a good mood, began to dance and sing to his own rhythm while shaking his hips.
And
boop!boop!boop!
The black rabbit, who was excited by Kuengi’s dance, beat it with his hammer and created a discordant sound.
At that time,
[the tower manager says he wants to eat sweet dried roasted sweet potatoes.]
“Can’t you see we’re doing our job to deal with the Red Locust on the 67th floor of the tower instead of you?”
Kuengi and the black rabbit are in a rhythm, and all Sejun did was applaud Kuengi, but Sejun spoke confidently.
[The tower manager says he is well aware of your merits.]
[The tower manager says you will be able to receive a reward once the extermination of the Red Locust on the 67th floor of the tower is completed.]
“Reward? What is it?”
[The tower manager tells me to work hard, saying that the more I contribute to eradicating the Red Locust, the better the reward will be.]
“Was there a separate reward?”
I’ll tell you sooner. Sejun hurriedly took out dried roasted sweet potatoes.
“Give me Eileen Quest.”
Sejun, who gave Aileen dried sweet potatoes, cut the leaves of the pie and thought about whether there was a way to further increase the contribution of the 67th floor of the tower.
At that time,
“Sejun has come.”
Elka and the wolves arrived after delivering the sturdy blade leaves to the 67th floor of the tower.
Once the defense line for the waypoint on the 67th floor of the tower was created, Iona thought that the urgent fire had been extinguished and tried to return to her magic tower.
So, he asked Sejun for permission to transport the sturdy blade leaves on his behalf through the Wandering Merchants Association.
“Transportation? We’ll do it.”
Instead, Sejun asked the wolves to pay for the cost and delivered the blade leaves to the 67th floor of the tower. Of course, I also received payment for the sturdy blade leaves. We won a contract to supply blade leaves.
In return for delivering sturdy bladed green onion leaves to the 67th floor of the tower, I received 2.5 Top Coins per bladed leaf, including transportation costs. The price is very cheap compared to the effect of killing the Red Locust. But there was a reason.
This is because it was a consumable item that wilts 3 to 5 days after the leaves of the green onion with a sturdy blade are cut. Thanks to this, Sejun was able to consistently sell the strong blade green onion leaves for 2.5 top coins, so it wasn’t bad.
“Here’s the daegeum.”
Elka pulled out a money bag from inside her fluffy fur with her front paw. Inside the money bag was 75 Top Coins, the value of 30 strong bladed green onion leaves.
Although it was very small compared to the money Theo earned, it was highly likely that it would become another source of income for Sejun if the harvest of the leaves of the sturdy bladed green onions increased in the future.
“Good job Elka.”
“Okay. Then let’s go back down.”
The wolves went down to the 67th floor of the tower again, carrying 200 blade leaves cut by Kueng on their backs. In the meantime, by dividing the roots of the strong blade green onions and planting them, the production of blade leaves increased several times.
Then
[Your crops have killed the pests.]
[You have gained 1 experience.]
…
..
.
A message appeared saying that the pests had been eliminated. It seemed like there was another Red Locust attack.
Recently, Sejun’s crop harvesting experience was added to his pest control experience, and he went up one level to level 20 and received a job quest.
[Job Quest: Harvest 1000 crops.]
Reward: Level 21, 50 Top Coins.
Since it was not a difficult quest, Sejun completed the quest in two days while harvesting cherry tomatoes and was steadily gaining experience again.
And
[I leveled up.]
[I acquired bonus stat 1.]
I leveled up again and became level 21. The bonus stat increased magical power again.

Head west from Sejun’s Cave.
Cooooong.
Mother Crimson Giant Bear was patrolling.
Then,
crunch. Scruck.
Mother Crimson Giant Bear heard the intruder moving.
Scruck. Scruck.
A tree about 10 meters tall was walking, its roots moving. A big one like that is usually found deep in the west, but today for some reason it showed itself.
Wow!
The mother Crimson Giant Bear rushed at the tree monster.
Quad deuk.
A tree branch tried to tie up the mother Crimson Giant Bear’s body, but it did not impede her movements at all.
bang!
Damn it.
The mother Crimson Giant Bear slammed both front paws into the tree’s trunk, splitting it sideways and splitting it in two.
Kwasik.
When the tree monster died, the mother Crimson Giant Bear cut off the hardened tree branch and chewed the tree’s trunk and roots on the spot.
And
boom. boom.
I picked up some tree branches and took them to Sejun’s cave.
***
Gagel’s Tower Farm project headquarters on the first floor of the tower.
“These are cherry tomatoes?”
Michael, who rushed over after receiving the report from research team leader Thomas, asked while looking at the twitching cherry tomato branches. There was no fruit at all.
“Yes, Vice President. It looks like the growth promoter caused the mutation.”
“Mutant? Then you should have disposed of it quickly! Why are you still growing this?!”
Michael shouted. It was natural. If word gets out that Gagel made something strange like this, it won’t be good for the company’s image.
“We tried to do that too. But…”
“But?”
“While I was removing this plant, I found something nice. Cut off the bottom of a cherry tomato.”
Thomas said, handing Michael the sword.
“What do you mean…”
Suddenly.
Michael cut off the bottom of the cherry tomato with a disapproving expression.
[Contaminated cherry tomatoes were defeated.]
[Experience point 29 was obtained.]
“This?”
Creep. Creep. Creep.
[Contaminated cherry tomatoes were defeated.]
[Experience 27 was obtained.]
[Contaminated cherry tomatoes were defeated.]
[Experience 33 was obtained.]
…
..
.
Michael cut down a few more cherry tomato trees in disbelief.
“Trees give experience points?”
“Yes. You can gain experience points by killing the plants we grew. Plus…”
Thomas brought a flower pot. There were small sprouts in the pot.
“They also reproduce on their own.”
“Really?”
“Yes, they do need food, really.”
Thomas’ answer brought a good idea to Michael’s mind.
“Okay. Plant these trees in all the land we secured on the second floor of the tower last time.”
“all right.”
***
Day 230 of distress.
Finally, Sejun’s brick house with one room and a kitchen was completed. There was no furniture yet.
“I can sleep alone now.”
In what was to be Sejun’s bedroom, he made a makeshift bed out of pie leaves and a blanket.
Then
“Huh?”
In the corner of the bedroom, I saw a wooden box the size of an apple box with a door.
“What is this?”
Sweet.
When I opened the door,
bang? Bang!
Black Rabbit got angry at Sejun who opened the door without knocking while he was organizing his luggage.
“sorry.”
Sejun quickly closed the door.
and
“Huh?”
I remembered the inside of the black rabbit’s house I had just seen. What?
There wasn’t a single chair in Sejun’s house yet, but Black Rabbit’s house already had a bed, table, and chairs.
When Sejun thinks he should urge the wood craftsman, Gray Rabbit,
“Is this just a bedroom? It’s shabby, but I’ll treat you well! I’m a generous boss. Puhuhuhu.”
Theo, who was using the president’s time pass, came in with Kueng carrying his baggage and lay down on Sejun’s bed as if it were his.
“Kueng, when you come up here from now on, please shake off your feet.”
He pretended to be the owner and even warned Kuengi.
Kueng!
Crack.
At Theo’s words, Kueng shook off the dirt from the soles of his feet, climbed onto Sejun’s blanket, and lay down.
Sejun’s blanket, which he brought in after being cleaned from outside a little while ago, quickly became covered in fur from Theo and Kkueng. Rather than making furniture, I had to first ask the gray rabbit to make a brush out of wood.
Sejun, who had given up on sleeping alone, came out of the bedroom and went to the kitchen.
The kitchen was built in a state-of-the-art(?) style. An island brick table where you can prepare ingredients and eat a meal, and a brick brazier with 4 burners that can control the heat separately were implemented.
“good.”
Sejun looked happily at the kitchen and then came out to start work again.
“Where are you going?”
Bye?
Kueng?
Theo’s black rabbit Kuengi also came out and followed Sejun around. It seemed like he was more excited today.
Elka, who had delivered the blade leaves to the 67th floor of the tower, approached Sejun, who was doing farming with the three guys following him around.
“Sejun, I’m back. Here’s Daegeum.”
Elka handed Sejun a money bag.
“Okay. Good job.”
“And the Lizardmen on the 67th floor of the tower want to entrust us with disposing of the Red Locust’s body. Can we, the Silver Wolves, step forward?”
“Disposal of the body?”
“Yes. The Lizardmen are in trouble because there are too many corpses of Red Locusts. Of course, I will give the benefit from it to Sejun.”
With the emergence of blade leaves, the number of Red Locusts killed became overwhelmingly greater than the rate at which the Lizardmen could eat them. It was good up to that point, but the problem was that the Red Locusts were eating these corpses again.
If the Lizardmen failed to deal with the overflow of Red Locust corpses, the Red Locusts would again eat the corpses of their comrades and lay eggs, so they needed to deal with them quickly.
So, just in case, the Lizardmen proposed a deal in which Elka, who enjoyed eating Red Locust carcasses every time she came to the 67th floor of the tower, would be given 0.01 Top Coin for every 100kg of carcasses destroyed.
A win-win deal for both parties. And Elka planned to take all the Silver Wolves down to the 67th floor of the tower if Sejun gave permission.
“Then of course it goes.”
Even so, as the harvest of Blade Leaves increased, I thought that just 3 wolves would not be enough, but if other wolves could be mobilized, Sejun was welcome.
So the Silver Wolves left for protein supplementation on the 67th floor of the tower.
