[The Tower’s Administrator is furious, asking who would put such an effect on grapes.]
[Aileen~nim, I apologize! I will be careful next time!]
While Podori was being scolded by Aileen,
“Hehehe. Delicious.”
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. They’re really sweet!]
“Uhihi! This is really tasty!”
Sejun, Cuengi, and Ajax were enjoying the golden grapes created by Podori, eating 6 each fairly.
Why six each, you might ask?
-Hahaha! Podori, you’ve done well.
-Try eating one of these grapes with alcohol. It’s killer!
-Oh! You’re right!
-Wow! If we ferment alcohol with this…
They had given 3 grapes each to the four dragons who cto see Podori.
While they were happily eating the golden grapes,
“Tier-nim, do you want to buy this?”
Sejun showed Tier the Poison Detoxifying Japanese Pumpkin.
-A Poison Detoxifying Japanese Pumpkin?! I’ll buy it!
Tier said he would buy it without a second of hesitation, just by hearing its name. Anything sold by Sejun is a must-buy!
“Please try it first and then decide on the price.”
-Alright.
Snap.
Tier swallowed the Japanese pumpkin offered by Sejun whole.
***
Purple Tower Administrator Area.
“Well… since it’s from Sejun, its effectiveness is guaranteed.”
Chomp. Chomp.
Tier ate the whole Japanese pumpkin Sejun gave him.
Although it didn’t taste great raw, he was excited to see what effect it would have this time.
Then,
[You have consumed a Poison Detoxifying Japanese Pumpkin.][It will expel Heart Poison.]
“Ugh!”
With the message, he felt a severe pain in his heart,
“Gag!”
And Tier vomited a red orb.
Then,
“Oh! The size of the Heart Poison has halved!”
Tier was delighted to see the size of the Heart Poison residing in his heart had reduced.
The red orb he just spat out was part of the nasty Heart Poison that had been attached to his heart.
It was possible to reduce the size of Heart Poison to a certain extent with Detoxifying Green Onions, but not to remove it completely.
“If I reduce the size of Heart Poison with Detoxifying Green Onions and then eat this pumpkin…”
It was possible to completely cure the Heart Poison.
“I guess I’ll have to pay more than 1 billion Tower Coins each for these pumpkins?”
If it could remove Heart Poison, money was no object.
“Then, I should start gathering money.”
Tier hurriedly called the purple dragons to earn money.
The purple dragons went out of the tower to extinguish the red mist far away, earning Tower Coins.
In the past, there was a lot of red mist just a little way out of the tower, but these days, the competition was fierce.
And naturally, the competition was only among the black, white, red, and purple dragons.

[Master Sejun likes these grapes! I’ll give you more nutritional supplements, so make more grapes!]
Flamie, seeing Sejun enjoying the golden grapes, handed a ton of nutritional supplements to Podori.
[What?! More Nutritional supplements?!]
Podori was shocked to see about 100 nutritional supplements.
Podori thought she wouldn’t need to eat these nutritional supplements anymore once she becthe World Tree… but the number had significantly increased instead.
But Podori was too scared of Flamie to rebel.
[Yes…]
Since I’m making them, I should make delicious grapes for Sejun-nim.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhile Podori was absorbing the nutritional supplements,
[You have achieved the feat of removing Heart Poison with a Poison Detoxifying Japanese Pumpkin.][As a reward for achieving the feat, the growth speed of Poison Detoxifying Japanese Pumpkin increases by 10 times for a week.]
An achievement message appeared in front of Sejun. The pumpkin had the desired effect.
“But to increase the growth speed by 10 times?!”
‘This isn’t the tto just sit around!’
Bouncing up.
Sejun hurriedly ran to the farm.
And,
Slice. Slice.
He quickly cut the top off the pumpkin to scrape out the seeds and,
Boom.
He planted all the pumpkin seeds at once with Myler’s hoe.
[You have planted 25,000 seeds of Poison Detoxifying Japanese Pumpkin in the magic-infused soil.][Your job experience points have slightly increased.]
[Your proficiency of Magic Seed Sowing Lv. 8 has slightly increased.]
[You have created a pumpkin field of 330,000 square meters.]
[You have gained 200,000 experience points.]
[You cannot accumulate experience points as the job quest is not completed.]
Messages appeared.
“Hehehe. Now I just have to wait a week…”
And nearly a million pumpkins could be harvested.
Sejun looked at the field where the pumpkins were planted with a satisfied expression when
[The size of your owned farm has exceeded 33 million square meters.][Talent: Myriad Landlord grows into a Large Landlord.]
Suddenly, the size of the land managed by Sejun exceeded 33 million square meters, and his talent grew.
“Huh? A Large Landlord?”
Sejun checked his talent in surprise.
[Talent: Large Landlord]-This acquired talent is only available to farmers who own over 33 million square meters of farmland.
-You can designate up to 100 farm managers to manage the farm on behalf of the landlord.
-You can designate up to 1,000 guards to protect the farm. (You receive 50% of the experience points from enemies defeated by the guards within 10 km of the Landlord.)
-You can designate an unlimited number of tenant farmers.
-Tenant farmers can use the landholder’s farming skills. (The landholder receives a 10% skill proficiency reward when a tenant farmer uses their skill.)
-The talent grows as the size of the farm increases.
“Wow!”
The talent increased, and all the numbers went up.
The biggest change was the removal of the limit on the number of tenant farmers.
Until now, the limit on tenant farmers had prevented Sejun’s farm from growing rapidly.
Basic tasks like making fields, watering, and pruning could be done by anyone.
However, tasks that required skill, such as seed harvesting, sowing, and harvesting, had to be done by tenant farmers.
But now that limit was gone.
“Guys, gather around!”
Sejun called over the mushroom ants to start designating them as his tenant farmers.
Snap.
“Designate tenant farmer.”
As Sejun placed his hand on the head of a mushroom ant and spoke,
[You have designated it as the 1022nd tenant farmer.]Kwek!
The mushroom ant, now a tenant farmer of Sejun, was incredibly happy.
Soon after, all the mushroom ants on the 99th floor of the tower bectenant farmers.
After designating the tenant farmers, Sejun said,
“Tto harvest the Sundried Red Peppers.”
After going to the place where he had planted the Sundried Red Peppers and harvesting them,
[You have obtained Sundried Red Pepper seeds.][Your job experience points have slightly increased.]
[Your proficiency of Seed Harvesting Lv. 8 has slightly increased.]
[You must use the Seed Harvesting skill 411,567 more times to complete the job quest.]
…
..
.
He started seed harvesting.
[You have created a carrot field of 33,000 square meters.][You have gained 20,000 experience points.]
[You cannot accumulate experience points as the job quest is not completed.]
Meanwhile, the mushroom ants, now Sejun’s tenant farmers, were excitedly expanding the size of the field like crazy.
At the stime, experience points were flying off into the air.
“I need to finish the quest quickly.”
Seeing the messages, Sejun’s motivation soared, and as a result, lunch and dinner becsimple.
Thus, for lunch and dinner, they only had boiled Egg Fruits, dried sweet potatoes, and rice cakes.
Kueng!
[Dipping it in honey makes everything delicious!]
“Eehee! I could eat 100 of these rice cakes with honey!”
“I could also do 100 boiled Egg Fruits with just a bit of salt!”
Kking!
‘It’s yellow and chewy!’
Fortunately, Cuengi, Ajax, Veronica, and Fenrir ate very well without a single complaint.
***
“Puhuhut. We’ve arrived, meow!”
Theo arrived at the 42nd floor of the tower, where Sejun’s Company’s branch was located.
And then,
“Meow meow meow.”
Piyo! Piyo!
Theo and Piyot confidently headed towards the branch.
“Theo-nim, didn’t you say you were going to secretly monitor them?”
Uren asked Theo, puzzled.
To properly monitor, one needed to approach secretly so that the subordinates couldn’t hide anything.
“Meow?! Ah! That’s right, meow!”
Theo, naturally craving attention, had unconsciously acted in the most eye-catching manner possible.
“Uren, thank you, meow!”
“Puhuhe. Oh, it’s nothing. Theo-nim, secrecy is vital for such tasks.”
“Is that so, meow?”
“Of course. Leave this task tothis time.”
Uren confidently stepped forward.
Being naturally a gullible type, Uren had been deceived by the employees many times before.
In the process of uncovering those deceptions, he had accumulated a lot of know-how in surveilling employees.
“Puhuhut. That’s great, meow!”
“First, let’s wear this together.”
When Uren took out a large cloak and wrapped it around himself,
Swish.
Uren’s body disappeared.
“Meow?! Is that a cloak of invisibility, meow?!”
Theo was surprised to see the invisibility cloak.
“Puhuhe. It was hard to get!”
Uren replied, proud of himself.
“Puhuhut. That’s great, meow! Give it tolater, meow!”
“Huh? But this was hard to get…”
Although Uren expressed his reluctance,
“Puhuhut. I’ll use it to surprise Chairman Park, meow!”
Theo was already thinking about how to use the invisibility cloak he would receive.
Thus, the invisibility cloak becTheo’s.
“Then, let’s go, meow!”
As Theo spoke, standing on Uren’s shoulder,
“Yes!”
Uren moved.
“Puhuhut. This is fascinating, meow!”
Piyo! Piyo!
[Piyihihi! Theo-nim, this is fun!]
Theo and Piyot were amazed that the beings outside couldn’t see them while inside the cloak of invisibility.
“Uren, what do we do now, meow?”
“We just wait.”
“Meow?!”
“We have to stake out until decisive evidence appears and then raid in on the scene!”
Remembering past events seemed to raise Uren’s voice.
“So have you raided any scene, meow?”
“No, there was another passage.”
Uren, who had diligently accumulated know-how but had never actually caught any evidence.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Puhuhut. That’s not how you monitor, meow!”
Hop.
Theo jumped down from Uren’s shoulder and
“Bill, I’m here, meow!”
shouted loudly in front of the building.
Then, Bill and other cats crushing out from inside the building,
“Vice Chairman Theo, welcome!”
They greeted Theo respectfully. The other cats were newly hired interns.
“Puhuhut. Bill, are you doing well, meow?!”
“Yes! Thanks to Chairman Park and Vice Chairman Theo!”
Bill sincerely expressed his gratitude in response to Theo’s question. The eyes of the intern cats were no different.
They knew that thanks to Sejun and Theo, they had overctheir food shortage.
Furthermore, as the number of cats working at Sejun’s Company increased, the village becwealthier, naturally leading to its growth.
Recently, Granier Village had been promoted to a city.
For those cats, working at Sejun’s Company was an honor, and they naturally worked hard.
“Puhuhut. Their loyalty to Chairman Park is high, meow!”
Theo noticed the cats’ earnest gazes.
“Puhuhut. Bill, we’re having a company dinner today, meow!”
He decided to treat the employees to a company dinner.
“Yes! Then I’ll look for a place for the dinner!”
As Bill hurried off to find a venue for the dinner,
“Theo-nim, aren’t you going to monitor?”
Uren asked, puzzled.
“Puhuhut. I, Vice Chairman Theo, can tell just by looking, meow!”
“What?!”
“Uren, just hurry up and provide the money for the dinner, meow!”
“Me? Yes!”
At Theo’s command, Uren quickly pulled out smoney.
A few hours later.
“Puhuhut. I’m heading back, meow!”
“Vice Chairman Theo, please be careful on your way back!”
“Thank you for the meal! Goodbye!”
After finishing the company dinner, Theo, with Bill and the intern cats’ farewells, returned to the 99th floor of the tower.
And then,
‘Puhuhut.’
‘Piyihihi.’
Theo and Piyot, wearing the cloak of invisibility.
Sneak. Sneak.
They quietly approached Sejun, who was harvesting cherry tomatoes.
But,
“Woof!”
“Meowww!”
Piyo!
Sejun, one beat faster, startled them.
“Meow! I was really surprised, meow! Chairman Park, how did you know, meow?!”
Slap.
Theo quickly clung to Sejun’s leg and asked.
“Heh, I have my ways.”
Sejun replied with a meaningful smile.
Just as Theo has a Sejun knee detector, Sejun has a Theo detector.
“Chairman Park, tell me, meow!”
“Go to sleep.”
Knowing that telling him would only make him overly proud, Sejun chose not to tell and
Pat. Pat.
stroked Theo’s belly to put him to sleep.
“Tell me…”
Gororong.
Theo quickly fell asleep.
Thus, day 371 in the tower ended without any incidents, peacefully.
