Chapter 294: This Knee is Yours for a Month
TL: Hanguk
Seed Shop Headquarters.
Chaos-nim! Park Sejun, a Extraordinary rank member, has visited the Seed Shop for the 10th time.
Really?! Then hurry up and display a congratulatory message and check if theres anything wrong with the items in the Elixir Shop!
Chaos was excited upon hearing the subordinates report who was managing the Seed Shop.
The Elixir Shop was the only channel through which the sealed gods could sell the elixirs they created to earn Tower Coins.
Therefore, the gods were eagerly producing elixirs, waiting for their items to sell in the Elixir Shop.
Because having Tower Coins was necessary to recover their lost divinity.
And unlike the regular Elixir Shops, the extraordinary Elixir Shop available from the Extraordinary rank could sell much more expensive elixirs.
Thanks to this, the gods at the Seed Shop Headquarters became busy after a long time.
A moment later
Aha!
Yesss!
Three gods who had their elixirs appear in the Elixir Shops random draw cheered,
Buy mine!
No! Buy mine!
Ah! Mine is the best!
The gods prayed for their elixirs to be sold.
***
As Sejun was browsing seeds in the shop window,
[Congratulations on Park Sejuns 10th visit to the Seed Shop!^0^!]
Instead of seeing the products for sale, he saw this strange message appear.
Is it already the 10th time?
With an indifferent expression, Sejun said.
The message read,
[An Elixir Shop is now open for your 10th transaction.]
[An extraordinary Elixir Shop matching Park Sejun-nims extraordinary rank is open.]
[Three types of elixirs are being randomly displayed for sale.]
[There is no purchase limit in the Elixir Shop.]
Additional messages appeared.
Elixir Shop?
When Sejun was puzzled,
[3 drops of Enhancing Elixir 150 billion Tower Coins]
[1 drop of Mutagen Elixir 300 billion Tower Coins]
[10 drops of Harvest Elixir 700 billion Tower Coins]
The elixirs appeared before Sejuns eyes. The prices were astonishingly high.
Why are these so expensive? Luckily, I have enough money to buy one.
Fortunately, Sejun was relieved to have enough money to buy either the Enhancing Elixir or the Mutagen Elixir.
Sejuns entire fortune was currently 300 billion Tower Coins, earned by selling six black beans to the dragons twice.
Sejun originally planned to buy a power with this money, but Aileen dissuaded him.
It had not been long since he had acquired the powerful power <Power: Extra Life>.
It was too dangerous for Sejun, who was a sunfish fish, to be granted a new power at this state.
It would be nice if I could see the contents
Sejun was hesitant to buy the elixirs because of the hefty price.
Then,
Huh?!
As if someone was listening, suddenly the descriptions of the elixirs appeared.
Thank goodness.
Relieved to be able to see the descriptions of the elixirs before spending money, Sejun started to carefully examine the elixirs.
[Enhancing Elixir]
If you sprinkle the Enhancing Elixir on crop seeds, you can obtain seeds that have one of the crops characteristics enhanced.
Can be used up to twice on the same seeds.
Remaining quantity: 3 drops
Usage restriction: Tower Farmer
Creator: God of Farming, Hamer
Grade: SS+
[Mutagen Elixir]
Sprinkling the Mutagen Elixir on crops causes transformations, allowing you to obtain new varieties.
It is recommended to use it in a safe place as it can be dangerous.
Remaining quantity: 1 drop
Usage restriction: Tower Farmer
Creator: God of Chaos, Chaos (TL: Same issue here the God of Chaos is in Korean and the name Chaos used here is the english of Chaos)
Grade: SS+
[Harvest Elixir]
Sprinkling a drop of Harvest Elixir on seeds or crops makes them grow to a harvestable state within a few hours.
If you reuse the Harvest Elixir on the same crop within 10 days, the crops vitality will be depleted, and it will die. (However, it is safe to use multiple times for crops that do not bear fruit even after using the Harvest Elixir.)
Remaining quantity: 10 drops
Usage restriction: Tower Farmer
Creator: God of Abundance, Leah
Grade: S+
Its worth the price.
Although the efficacy of the elixir needed to be checked by using it, Sejun was somewhat convinced by the high price, given it was an elixir made by a god.
And then,
[You have purchased 3 drops of Enhancing Elixir.]
[A total of 150 billion Tower Coins will be withdrawn from Park Sejun-nims account at the Seed Bank.]
After much deliberation, Sejun purchased the Enhancing Elixir.
The Mutagen Elixir didnt appeal to him much.
He already had one new variety secured in front of him, and he thought new varieties would eventually appear as he harvested more.
The Harvest Elixir is what I need the most, its a shame
Sejun looked regretfully at the Harvest Elixir in the shop window.
The sticky corn he planted a few days ago, the Sunflower Seed Theo gave him just before.
And because by using the Harvest Elixir on the seeds obtained from the Daebong persimmon would allow him to quickly secure many more seeds.
Plus, I can grow our Flamie.
[Hehe.]
When Sejun was feeling regretful while watching Flamie happily basking in the sun,
Puhuhuhut. Puhuhut.
Theo began to laugh at such Sejun. Its time for me to step in, meow!
Whats wrong? Why are you laughing, Vice Chairman Theo?
Sejuns mood slightly soured at Theos laughter.
Then,
Puhuhut. Park Chairman, need money, meow?! I have money, meow!
Rustle.
Theo spilled bags of money from his bundle.
Huh?! How much is all this? Vice Chairman Theo, did you rob a bank or something?
Sejun was astonished as he counted the money Theo had taken out.
The amount inside the money bags was almost 1 trillion Tower Coins. It was an amount that couldnt be explained unless a bank had been robbed.
No, meow! I earned it, meow!
Precisely, it was money earned by selling Sejuns party invitations.
All this money was earned by Vice Chairman Theo?!
Puhuhut. Thats right, meow! So, Chairman Park should count on me for such things, meow!
Although Theo became arrogant again,
Alright. Ill count only Vice Chairman Theo from now on.
This time, Sejun wasnt sulky and complied easily.
Vice Chairman Theo, this knee is yours for a month.
Instead, he offered his knee to Theo.
Puhuhut. Really, meow?!
Yes.
Chairman Park, Im moved, meow!
Hug.
At Sejuns words, Theo, who finally got to monopolize Sejuns knee, hugged it tightly and was touched.
And then,
Hehehe. Purchase.
[You have purchased 1 drop of Mutagen Elixir.]
[A total of 300 billion Tower Coins will be withdrawn from Park Sejun-nims account at the Seed Bank.]
[You have purchased 10 drops of Harvest Elixir.]
[A total of 700 billion Tower Coins will be withdrawn from Park Sejun-nims account at the Seed Bank.]
In the meantime, Sejun purchased both the Mutagen Elixir and the Harvest Elixir with the money Theo earned by selling invitations.
***
66th Floor of the Tower.
Is this really an invitation to the grand party of the Great Black Dragon?
Yes. Thats why I made a lot of them so that all of our kin could participate.
The ruler of the Red Orcs, Giant Fang, was answered by Skilled Hand, who showed him a tremendous amount of counterfeit invitations he had made.
A Black Dragon tattoo drawn as intricately as Theos paw print. It was identical to the point that no one could doubt it.
Perfect.
Giant Fang compared the original and counterfeit invitations, expressing satisfaction.
Chahahaha. With this, all of our clan can participate in the great Black Dragons party.
Yes. Thats right. Ah, thats right. Skilled Hand.
Suddenly, Giant Fang had a brilliant idea and spoke to Skilled Hand.
Yes, Giant Fang-nim.
Make more counterfeit invitations.The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at n(0))vel(b)(j)(n).
What?! But Ive already made all the invitations the Red Orcs will use?
I know. Its not for us to use.
Then?
We distribute the invitations to everyone who wants to participate in the Great Black Dragons party and make known the generosity of our Red Orcs to the Black Tower. Chahahaha.
Oh! Thats a brilliant idea!
The Red Orcs had no concept that what they were doing was a crime.
Thus, the counterfeit invitations stamped with Theos paw print spread throughout the Black Tower.
Thanks to this, the number of participants coming to the 99th floor with invitations stamped with Theos paw print suddenly surged.
And then,
Moo?
[Did Vice Chairman Theo invite so many to the party?]
Moo. Moo.
[Right, this is a bit strange. Lets report this to the Minotaur King.]
It was too late when Minotaur 700 and Minotaur 800 sensed something was amiss.
Thump! Thump!
Moo! Moo!
[You fools! Whats happening when you were supposed to guard the entrance?!]
The Minotaur King hurried over upon seeing the bustling 99th floor.
***
Tap.
After completing the Seed Shop transaction and harvesting the Daebong persimmon,
[You have harvested Daebong persimmon of Accuracy.]
[Your job experience has increased slightly.]
[Your proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 8 has increased slightly.]
[You have gained 70 experience points.]
[You have achieved the feat of creating a new variety in the tower.]
..
.
[As a job trait, all stats increase by 10.]
Messages appeared in a row.
Hehehe. Shall we see the effects?
Sejun smiled as he examined the Daebong persimmon of Accuracy.
[Daebong persimmon of Accuracy]
A persimmon grown inside the tower, it is sufficiently nutritious, soft, and sweet.
When consumed, the accuracy rate of attacking an enemy greatly increases for 5 minutes.
Over time, the exterior becomes mushy.
Cultivator: Tower Farmer Park Sejun
Shelf life: 150 days
Grade: A
Oh! It increases accuracy?
After reading the description, Sejun placed the Daebong persimmon of Accuracy in the void storage.
He planned to use the Harvest Elixir on it later when he returned to the farm along with other seeds.
Then,
Cuengi!
[Dad, all the persimmons have been harvested!
Cuengi came over after putting all the persimmons into the void storage.
Good job.
Sejun quickly hugged Cuengi, worrying that Cuengi might cling to his leg and fight with Theo.
And then,
Toryong.
Sejun called for Toryong and returned to the waypoint with the animals.
The next destination was the tangerine farm on the 85th floor of the tower.
The peach farm on the 55th floor and the banana farm on the 77th floor were skipped, as the rabbits and monkeys would bring them.
***
4th Floor of the Tower.
Clatter. Clatter.
A Black Skeleton squatting down brought its hand close to a grape sprout that had just sprouted,
Woong.
Pop.
Green light shone, and the grape sprout grew rapidly, turning into a grapevine in an instant.
As expected of the king of farming!
The hunters working part-time murmured as they watched the Black Skeleton that could instantly grow grape sprouts into grapevines.
Thud.
The king of farming, who had used its ability, suddenly knelt down and took a praying posture.
If it prays in this state for a few days, it will regain the power to grow another grape sprout into a grapevine.
The king of farming didnt know its name, how it could grow crops, or why it needed to pray to regain power.
It simply acted according to the memories engraved in its soul.
-O great god
As it earnestly prayed to a god whose name it couldnt remember today,
-My child, do you hear my voice?
A voice speaking to the king of farmings soul.
Yes, I can hear you. But who is speaking to me?
-I am the one who oversees abundance. I am the God of Abundance, Leah.
Ah Lord Leah
The king of farming remembered the name of the god to whom it had been praying.
And then,
-You must help a person named Park Sejun earn a lot of Tower Coins in every possible way. Do you understand?
Yes!
The king of farming received a divine command from the God of Abundance, Leah.
How should I earn a lot of Tower Coins?
Pondering over the divine command,
Thunk.
A sign was placed at the entrance of the grape farm.
[Grapes for sale at a high price.] (TL: Lol, Imagine a shop IRL with this sign)
