Episode 72. Obtain the Corrupted Ent Seed.
“Innoom! Park Sejun!”
When the foolish granddaughter Kaiser, blinded by jealousy, fires a water cannon at Sejun with the black dragon statue installed in the fountain commemorating the 100th anniversary of Eileen’s birth,
she says, “Father, fix it.”
Anton, who had higher control over the black dragon statue, took control of the black dragon statue from Kaiser.
“Keuhumhum.”
Kaiser, who belatedly realized that he had become too excited and behaved obscenely, cleared his throat as if he was embarrassed.
“First, let’s see what kind of person this Park Se-jun is.”
“For what?!”
“This person named Park Se-jun is the hope that can fix our Eileen’s Dragon Heart. We need to know what kind of person he is.”
“Hmm. Got it.”
They continued to watch Sejun through the black dragon statue.
And I discovered something interesting.
“What is this human?”
Although it was extremely weak, it was using crops obtained through farming to control various monsters. However, the monsters under their care were too happy to say it was bad.
And crops with various effects. It was also thanks to the crops that Eileen’s Dragonheart condition improved.
“Hmph! He’s a talented guy!”
Kaiser, who was watching with open eyes from the side, acknowledged Sejun a little.
As they watched with the black dragon statue for several days, they saw a fallen Ent twig scout approaching Sejun’s farm.
“It looks like the corrupted Ents have spread again.”
“Tsk. Things like weeds.”
Corrupted Ents were one of the nuisances on the 99th floor of the tower that bothered the black dragons. If it is not dealt with periodically, it will soon grow to a large extent and cause other monsters to become extinct.
From the black dragons’ point of view, it would be easier if they completely exterminated the corrupted Ents, eliminating the need to deal with them periodically, but this was not possible due to the tower administrator’s obligation to ‘not intentionally exterminate creatures that settled in the tower.’
Still, humans were protecting the farm well with the help of monsters.
At that time,
“This is the guy who absorbed the energy of the Blue Moon.”
“That might be a bit difficult.”
The Corrupted Ent, which absorbed the energy of the blue moon that was born with a slim probability, was a monster that was difficult to defeat unless it was a black dragon.
“I guess I should use that.”
“This isn’t the purpose of this feature.”
Kaiser grumbled, but did not object to saving Sejun.
“Black dragon statue activated.”
With Anton’s words, the red magic stone in the eyes of the black dragon statue began to glow and the black dragon statue began to move as if it were alive.
It was a skill that Anton used in preparation for when a dangerous situation arises for Eileen using the Goleb magic imprinted on the red magic stone.
Anton, who had killed the corrupted Ent using the black dragon statue, flew back to Sejun and spoke to him.
After observing Sejun for several days, Anton decided that he was a trustworthy person.
***
Quang!
The corrupted Ents who had absorbed the energy of the huge Blue Moon evaporated along with a huge mushroom cloud.
“I’ll give you the last shot.”
I wouldn’t be able to level up much anyway because of the level 30 job quest, but it was still a bit disappointing.
When Sejun was looking at the mushroom cloud created by Anton with regret,
it fluttered.
The black dragon statue moved its wings and flew away.
“Thank you for your help, Eileen’s father.”
-Just call me Anton.
“yes.”
-And the help just now is nothing compared to the way you saved my daughter. Thank you for saving Eileen.
“Yes…”
Sejun suddenly felt like meeting his girlfriend’s parents. Although he has never had a girlfriend…
Sejun was in a similar situation to Theo. Just doesn’t show it.
-I would like to receive your help in the future.
“Help? Are you talking about healing Eileen’s Dragonheart?”
-There is that, but I would like you to manage the Black Tower on Eileen’s behalf.
The Black Tower was not being managed properly as Eileen could not leave the administrator’s area. In addition, the Kaiser came forward every 10 years to organize urgent matters, but this time, even that was not possible.
As time passes, problems will begin to arise one after another on various levels.
Kaiser and Anton were worried about that.
At that time,
“No, that’s it?!”
“Red Locust?! When did they invade?”
Not knowing that the Red Locust had invaded the Black Tower, they were surprised to see the wolves bringing a cart full of Red Locust carcasses.
Once the numbers start to increase, there is no solution for the Red Locust. It was one of the decisive reasons why the tower was created.
Fortunately, I was relieved to hear from Wolf and Sejun that they were preventing the spread of the Red Locust that had invaded the 67th floor of the tower.
And I thought Sejun had the ability to solve TOP’s problems to some extent. If you think about it, you can solve most problems just by having the ability to move the monsters on the 99th floor of the tower.
So, Anton decided to give Sejun the position of acting manager of the tower on Eileen’s behalf.
“The official of the Black Tower?”
-okay. It won’t be difficult. Because we will support you.
“We…?”
-Yes! Park Sejun! I am Kaiser Pritani! It’s Eileen’s special money!
Suddenly, a loud voice came from the black dragon statue.
“Ah! Hello Kaiser. This is Sejun Park.”
– Hmm. You are a person who knows manners.
Kaiser, who had been hating Sejun, relaxed a little at Sejun’s 90-degree greeting.
“But I can’t leave this floor.”
-There is a way for everything!
“really?!”
-That’s right! First, put the magic cherry tomato into the mouth of the black dragon statue!
“yes?!”
-Hmm! There’s a use for it all! It’s definitely not because I want to eat it!
Kaiser was very excited as if something was stabbing him. First of all, it was clear that Eileen’s grandfather was the one who insisted.
“All right.”
Sejun picked a few cherry tomatoes and put them in the mouth of the black dragon statue
.
As the light came on, the cherry tomatoes disappeared.
And
“I need to recharge my strength first, so I’ll talk about it later. Hurry up and go to the place where the corrupted Ent died. There might be something that can help you when you’re weak.”
Flutter, flutter.
After saying those words, the black dragon statue went back up to the fountain and started spitting out water.
***
Boom. Boom.
Sejun, along with the black rabbit Kuengi, were riding on the back of his mother Crimson Giant Bear and heading to the place where the fallen Ent died.
“What do you think is over there?”
Kuong.
[There is a strengthening orb near the fallen Ent’s death.]
Mother Crimson Giant Bear answered the question.
“A bead that becomes stronger if you eat it?”
Cuong, cuong.
[yes. It’s a blue bead.]
While we were talking like that, we arrived at the place where the fallen Ent died.
And in the middle of the huge pit, in addition to a blue bead the size of a fist, there was a 10m long tree branch about the thickness of a square tree.
Sejun held up a blue bead and a twig.
[Obtained the Enhanced Seed of the Corrupted Ent.]
[Obtained the Enhanced Branch of the Corrupted Ent.]
“Wow!”
Sejun was delighted with the message and looked at the seed options first.
[Enhanced Seed of Corrupted Ent]
This is a seed of Corrupted Ent that has absorbed the energy of the Blue Moon.
The seeds were strengthened by the energy of the Blue Moon.
When consumed, all stats permanently increase by 10.
If left in the ground, the seeds will germinate and grow into powerful Corrupted Ents.
Shelf life: 100 years
Grade: A
“If you eat it, all stats will permanently increase by 10…”
A pretty good option.
“Is this what you said?”
It seemed like this seed was what Kaiser was talking about that would be helpful.
However, in the mind of Sejun, a top farmer who believes in the truth that if you plant a single seed, it will multiply at least tens of times, the choice to plant rather than eat came to mind first.
‘What if Flame gives me the Flame of Purification buff?’
Although it is said to have been corrupted, purification could have been possible. If it doesn’t work out, you can eat it then. It had a long shelf life, so there was no need to worry about it going bad.
“I have to keep it for now.”
Sejun, who packed the seeds in his pocket, looked at the options for the branches.
[Reinforced Branch of Corrupted Ents]
This is a branch of Corrupted Ents that has absorbed the energy of the Blue Moon.
The strength of the tree branches has been greatly strengthened by the energy of the Blue Moon.
If you put mana into it, you can control its size at will, making it a good material for a transformation weapon.
Restrictions on use: Lv 35 or higher, Strength 50 or higher, Magic 30 or higher
Grade: A
“I can’t use it.”
Sejun does not meet all usage restrictions. The topic of tree branches was tricky. Kueng
then
!
[Dad, I want to use that!]
Kuengi, who had always envied the Black Rabbit’s hammer, coveted the strengthened branch of the fallen Treant.
“Okay. You use it first.”
Kueng!
Kueng was happy to receive the twig.
After collecting the items and returning home,
beep!
Wow!
The rabbits were waking up and preparing for morning farming.
“It’s ambiguous.”
After thinking for a while, Sejun started farming in the morning with the rabbits.
***
Tower 75th floor retail area.
“Follow me quickly!”
“yes!”
“Oh! Intern Jeff’s answer is loud! The contract period is shortened by 1 day!”
“thank you!”
Theo did not move directly to the 38th floor of the tower, but was moving with his companions to the headquarters of the Wandering Merchant Association.
The reason was to apply for use of the high-speed merchant corridor.
Mid-sized wandering merchants are eligible to apply for the high-speed merchant channel. As long as there is only 10,000 Top Coins, which is the application fee…
If the general merchant passage took approximately one day to travel the 10 floors of the tower, the high-speed merchant passage could travel 10 floors in half a day.
So Theo, who wants to quickly finish the transaction and return to Sejun’s lap, has always wanted to use the high-speed merchant channel, but has not been able to apply until now due to lack of money.
However, this time, as he received 20,000 Top Coins from Sejun as a transaction incentive, Theo was finally able to apply to use the high-speed merchant channel.
“I received 10,000 Top Coins. You can use the high-speed merchant passage in front of mid-sized wandering merchant Theo. Here is your new pass.”
An employee of the Traveling Merchants Association handed Theo a silver pass.
“Thank you!”
‘Fuhuhuhu! Finally, I can use the high-speed merchant passage!’
When Theo received his new pass and walked out of the Wandering Merchants Association headquarters building with majestic steps, he said,
“Bwake.”
Iona passed by, humming next to her.
“Nice to meet you Iona!”
“Ah! Hello, CEO Te.”
So the two talked for a while.
“Is President Te going downstairs now?”
“No! I’m going to Granier Village!”
“Oh! Really?! That’s great! I’m going with you to Granier Village!”
Iona was happy and climbed on top of Elka, who was waiting outside.
Originally, Theo was going to quickly descend to the 38th floor of the tower through the high-speed merchant passage, but he
said, “I have news that I urgently need to deliver to my father. Instead, go to Granier Village and I will pay you 1000 Top Coins.”
“Good! I’ll go!”
At Oren’s suggestion, I changed my destination to Granier Village. Rather than money, I wanted to show off my success to the cats in my hometown.
‘Puhuhuu. I’ll show you my success! ‘
“Representative Te, who is this?”
Oren asked, looking at Iona.
“It’s Iona! “We’re going to Granier Village together! We’re leaving!”
The group set off with Theo shouting.
‘Damn it!’
Oren’s face stiffened for a moment at the arrival of a new being,
but
‘It’s probably a hamster.’
Oren quickly smiled and hurriedly followed Theo.
