Episode 9. receive compensation
Morning of the 95th day after the shipwreck.
“Everyone listen carefully.”
Beep?
A little bit?
What?
“Starting today, I’m going to plant sweet potato shoots.”
Sejun made an important announcement to the rabbits eating breakfast.
Bwa…
Bwa…
The baby rabbits are greatly disappointed by Sejun’s important announcement. Sweet potato sprouts have been one of the baby rabbits’ favorite snacks these days.
And it was also the reason why Sejun had to plant sweet potato shoots in a hurry. If I left it alone, it seemed like all the sweet potato sprouts would disappear.
Well, sweet potato sprouts grow so fast that I don’t have to worry about them, but I decided to plant them today because I need to plant them as soon as possible so I can harvest them quickly.
“Instead, tonight’s dinner is Gungoma.”
Beep!
Wow!
Boy!
All the rabbits were excited when they heard the word ‘Gungoma’.
“Useup…”
Sejun too.
When I peeked at the soil around the sweet potatoes planted, I saw that the sweet potatoes were growing sparsely. Of course, it was not harvested right away.
This is because predators targeting sweet potatoes are keeping a close eye on them.
I found out about it at lunchtime on the day of the fourth blue moon. Sejun wanted to eat cherry tomatoes differently than usual.
At that time, I remembered seeing grilled tangerines or pineapples on TV. So I decided to try roasting cherry tomatoes.
‘Could cherry tomatoes work too?’
Even if it’s not, it won’t be so bad that you can’t eat it.
Sejun made skewers out of dried pie leaves, put three cherry tomatoes on them, and started grilling them.
[I watch with interest what the tower manager is cooking today.]
A message suddenly appears.
“huh?!”
[……]
Whether it was a mistake or not, nothing was said afterward, but through that, Sejun learned that the tower manager was watching him from time to time.
And the roasted cherry tomatoes were very delicious, with the sweetness intensified by the fire, just as they said on TV.
“Now! Move! Move!”
After finishing breakfast, Sejun and the rabbits were busy in the morning.
This is because you have to complete the daily tasks of cutting green onions, watering crops, pollinating cherry tomato flowers, and harvesting first in the morning before you can plant sweet potato shoots in the afternoon.
The rabbits dispersed to each do their own work.
Shoot!
My husband’s rabbit watered the crops with a water stopper that dispensed infinite water, and
drip, drip, drip.
My wife Rabbit started cutting green onions with scissors.
“Leave that one green onion alone. I’ll keep growing it.”
Sejun said to his wife Rabbit. I was planning to make green onion flowers bloom and receive seeds.
Beep!
His wife, Rabbit, nodded to Sejun’s words.
In the meantime, green onions grew well, so there was no need to harvest them, but green onions did not become an item even if they were harvested with the roots.
Sejun thought the reason was because he didn’t plant the seeds first, so he planned to try growing green onions from seeds.
Biya!
The baby rabbits hung on the cherry tomato tree and played hard by climbing the tree. It may have seemed like fun, but it was work.
When baby rabbits climb a tree, the cherry tomato flowers shake and pollen flies from the flowers, resulting in natural pollination.
While the rabbits worked at their respective locations, Sejun also harvested cherry tomatoes.
Tuk. Tuk.
[You have harvested ripe magical cherry tomatoes.]
[Harvest Lv. 2 Mastery increases very slightly.]
[Job experience increases slightly.]
[Experience 10 has been obtained.]
…
..
.
[You have leveled up.]
[Bonus stat 1 has been obtained.]
You have now reached level 8. Just seeing my experience level go up made me feel full, so I went up to my level.
“Hehehe. It’s rewarding.”
Sejun increased his stamina with bonus stats and started harvesting cherry tomatoes again.
Tuk.
Tuk.
Tuk.
At that time,
[Job experience points are full.]
[Top Farmer (F)’s grade increases.]
[You have become a Top Farmer (E).]
[Job grade increases and job characteristics are strengthened.]
“Oh!”
After all, farming is rewarding. Something keeps coming out as much or even more than the effort you put in.
Sejun’s steps while harvesting cherry tomatoes became lighter.
***
“Okay! Let’s get started now.”
After finishing their morning routine and having a quick lunch, Sejun and the rabbits began planting sweet potato shoots.
“Everyone to their positions!”
This time, the work was divided again.
Biya!
Wow!
The baby rabbits cried and lined up next to my wife’s rabbit.
Snip. Snip. Snip.
When my wife’s rabbit cut the sweet potato shoots, the baby rabbits moved the sweet potato shoots to the newly created field.
And the baby rabbits planted sweet potato shoots one by one in the long, narrow holes that Sejun had dug at regular intervals.
Bang! Bang!
Just place the sweet potato shoot in the hole and tamp down the surrounding soil with your foot to plant it.
And
shoot.
My husband’s rabbit finished by spraying water.
Even though we had a lot of manpower, there were more sweet potato shoots to plant than expected, so it took a long time. I planted 300, but still have about a third of the sweet potato shoots left.
“Take a break!”
At Sejun’s words, the rabbits began to suck on the cherry tomatoes that had been cooled down in a small pond, one by one, and drink the juice.
“i envy you.”
Knock. Knock. Knock.
Sejun chewed a cold cherry tomato and looked with envy at the rabbits who could drink cherry tomatoes like beverages.
“Tsk tsk.”
Sejun, who was resting while looking at the rabbits with envy, got up from his seat and approached the sweet potato field, which had been cut bare and bare.
And
pukpuk.
I started digging up sweet potatoes, removing the dirt with my hands.
“It would have been nice to have a hoe…”
It was a shame that there were no farming tools.
[You have harvested Pumpkin Sweet Potatoes of Power.]
[Job experience increases very slightly.]
[Harvest Lv. The mastery of 2 increases very slightly.]
[Experience 10 has been obtained.]
…
..
.
“Wow. There are a lot.”
Sejun looked proudly at the sweet potatoes he had harvested. A total of 15 sweet potatoes were harvested. About 5 sweet potatoes were harvested for each sweet potato planted. Although the number was small, the seeds were thick.
Sejun picked up a sweet potato and examined it.
[Pumpkin Sweet Potato of Strength]
Pumpkin sweet potatoes grown in the tower are nutritious and delicious.

Grower: Top Farmer Sejun Park
Expiration date: 30 days

“Mom would love it if I went outside with this…”
I often saw my mom struggling to go to the bathroom due to constipation. Sejun thought about home for a moment and moved the sweet potatoes
to hide them before the looters saw them. In a cool corner of the cave, pie leaves were spread on the floor, eight sweet potatoes were placed side by side, and then covered again with pie leaves.
‘If I do this, I won’t be able to see it.’
The remaining 7 sweet potatoes were moved to the fire, rolled up with green onion leaves and placed in the fire. By the time the work is finished, the pumpkin roasted sweet potatoes will be completed.
Then
tap.
Something attached to Sejun’s clothes fell off.
“It’s sweet potato sprouts.”
It seemed like it was brought along with the sweet potatoes when they were moved. Sejun picked up sweet potato shoots, made a hole in the field, and carefully planted them in the field. I didn’t know that one sweet potato shoot could produce dozens of sweet potatoes.
“Grow up well.”
When I planted and watered with so much care,
[I planted pumpkin and sweet potato shoots.]
[Seed Sowing Lv. With the effect of 1, the probability of pumpkin and sweet potato shoots surviving increases.]
[Seed Sowing Lv. The skill level of 1 increases slightly.]
“…Does this count as sowing seeds?”
Sejun was lost in thought for a moment. To level up your seedlings, you must plant them yourself.
“Haa…well…I have to do everything…”
After the break, Sejun did the entire process of planting sweet potato sprouts by himself, and the baby rabbits worked by placing sweet potato sprouts in the holes that Sejun had drilled. This has become very comfortable.
Sniff.
Instead, the baby rabbits were given the task of watching over the fire to see if the roasted sweet potatoes were burning.
When Sejun planted all the remaining sweet potato shoots,
Biya!
Wow!
The baby rabbits started crying because they smelled like a burnt horse.
***
“Is this how it is done?”
A huge black dragon was crouching in front of the brazier and tilting its head as it looked at 30 charred cherry tomatoes lined up on a rapier that looked almost like toothpicks. The color was very different from what humans made.
‘Let’s eat it first. You won’t die.”
No poison can kill the almighty self. The dragon hooked the rapier between his teeth and pulled it straight.
Rurrurruk.
The cherry tomato, the skin of which had almost turned into charcoal, rolled into the dragon’s mouth. .
Smudge.
“…Ugh!”
Contrary to expectations, an incredibly bitter taste came up.
“Ugh!”
The dragon hurriedly spit out what he was chewing. He couldn’t give up his appetite with something so tasteless.
“Ugh…Use it! What’s wrong? “The humans ate it deliciously…”
While the dragon was thinking about what was different from the humans he watched,
“Huh?!”
As the bitter taste went away, I felt a rich flavor in my mouth that was different from the existing cherry tomatoes. When I heated it with fire, it tasted new. appeared.
“Oh! It tastes like this. You have to peel the skin and eat it!” The
dragon, having achieved great enlightenment, burned the cherry tomato again until black and whimpering with its claws, barely managed to peel the cherry tomato. No, it would be more accurate to say that he just crushed the cherry tomato and ate the juice.
” . Umm. It’s delicious. It’s delicious.”
The dragon was greatly impressed after eating the cherry tomato juice from its claws.
The dragon, proud of having learned a new dish, sat in front of a huge crystal ball and began his hobby.
“What can this human try?”
Originally, the tower’s manager was the manager of the tower. It was a tool to check if the tower was running properly, but now it was being used for a hobby.
And the cave that started to appear in the crystal ball. Sejun and the rabbits were eating dinner there.
“Huh?! These guys!!! “I can’t believe I, the great black dragon, Eileen Fritani, are eating roasted sweet potatoes!”
The black dragon, Eileen Fritani, was excited.
***
Fuuuu.
Puuuu.
The rabbits blew hard on the roasted sweet potatoes to cool them down and ate them deliciously.
Wow. .
Sejun also took a big bite of the cooled roasted gomam.
‘It tastes even sweeter when you eat it after working.’
Sejun ate the sweet potato, feeling the sweetness in his mouth.
Then
[an additional quest occurs.]
“Somehow… “Why are you so quiet?”
[Quest: Offer 1 Pumpkin of Power Roasted Sweet Potato to the tower manager!]
Reward: None
If refused: Death!
It certainly seems that the tower manager is watching.
‘The army in front of you now. ‘There’s only one sweet potato left.’
There was no reward this time too.
‘See if I give it to you!’
Sejun decided to put the quest on
hold, and when he reached out to eat the roasted sweet potatoes,
[The tower manager urges him to quickly offer the roasted sweet potatoes.]
[The tower manager said he would not tolerate it if he was not given roasted sweet potatoes again today. ]
I felt the tower manager’s strong obsession.
‘It’s going to be hard to get over it this time.’
Sejun decided to give him roasted sweet potatoes.
“Do you have anything to give as compensation?”
Instead, he changed his direction and demanded compensation fairly if he had to give it to him.
[The tower manager is embarrassed.]
“Embarrassed?”
What is it? Is it embarrassing to ask for compensation? Is this work?
At that time
[The tower manager corrects the quest.]
[Quest: Offer 1 Power Pumpkin Roasted Sweet Potato to the tower manager!]
Reward: 1 job skill
If refused: Death!!!!!!!
Another job skill?
I wasn’t satisfied, but I decided to be satisfied with the fact that I had received a reward this time.
“I’ll give you roasted sweet potatoes.”
I wasn’t expecting any reward at all.
‘I’ll give you skills like cutting grass, watering, etc…’
[Quest Completed.]
[As a reward for completing the quest, job skill – Seed Store Lv. 1 was acquired.]
