Chapter 8. Fight

The energy of the blue moon formed on the stem of the sweet potato entered the ground along the stem.

'There was a sweet potato there?!'

All the sweet potatoes planted this time were for seedlings. When the sweet potato shoots grow to a certain extent, I thought to cut them off and transplant them.

Then you can grow sweet potatoes indefinitely. I learned about farming through the Internet, but so far I haven't had any failures.

'So I didn't expect sweet potatoes…'

"Use it…"

Sejun salivated involuntarily at the thought of being able to eat sweet potatoes.

"Should I eat it raw? Should I bake it? Can't I steam it?"

Sejun greeted the dawn of the 92nd day of distress with open eyes, thinking about how to eat sweet potatoes.

Shuk.

According to the daily routine, I first drew a line on the wall and moved to the sweet potato field.

and

crispy.

Sejun carefully started digging around the ground where Blue Moon's energy had flowed.

"oh-!"

I had barely dug the soil with my hands, but I could already see the head of a blue sweet potato.

Sasak. Sasak.

Sejun calmed his fast hands and carefully removed the soil around the sweet potato as if exploring an archaeological artifact more carefully.

After a while, Sejun carefully lifted a fist-sized blue sweet potato from the ground.

[You have harvested the Pumpkin Sweet Potato of Power containing the energy of the Blue Moon.]

[Job EXP has greatly increased.]

[Harvesting Lv. 1's mastery greatly increases.]

[Harvest Lv. The level rises as the mastery level is filled by 1.]

[Acquired 50 experience points.]

The job experience and skill proficiency, which had only risen slightly, increased significantly. In addition, the skill has risen to the level.

But to Sejun right now, that didn't matter at all.

Sejun looked at the sweet potato in his hand.

[Pumpkin Sweet Potato of Power with Blue Moon's Energy] It

is a sweet potato grown in the tower that is full of nutrients and is delicious.

The taste is even better with the energy of the Blue Moon.

Permanently increases strength by 0.05 when consumed.

Grower: Top Farmer Park Se-joon

Shelf life: 30 days

Rating: E

Originally delicious, but even more delicious.

Sejun went to the cherry tomato field and harvested blue cherry tomatoes that contain the energy of the Blue Moon.

[You have harvested Magical Cherry Tomatoes containing Blue Moon's energy.]

[Job EXP has greatly increased.]

[Harvesting Lv. The skill proficiency of 2 increases slightly.]

[Acquired 50 EXP.]

Perhaps because I just leveled up the Harvest skill, the increase in skill proficiency this time was smaller than before.

"Hehehe."

I felt like I had the world because I was holding a blue sweet potato in my right hand and a blue cherry tomato in my left hand.

At that time

, [An additional quest occurs.]

A message appeared that ruined Sejun's mood.

'I thought so.'

The threat of the looters under the guise of a quest that always seeks Sejun's crops has begun.

[Quest: Offer the Pumpkin Sweet Potato of Power containing the energy of Blue Moon to the tower manager.]

Reward: None

If rejected: Death!!!!!

[Quest: Offer magical cherry tomatoes containing the energy of Blue Moon to the manager of the tower.]

Reward: None

If rejected: Death!!!!!

Two quests appeared at the same time.

'Is it a little strong this time?'

Looking at the exclamation mark, I could see how tired the manager of the tower was.

'What do we do?'

It's a big deal if you refuse and the tower's manager gets really upset. Then you really die.

But this time, I didn't want to give up. So, I decided to complete the unfinished quest first to relieve the Tower Manager's mood.

"Offer the remaining magical cherry tomatoes."

[The quest has been completed.]

Sejun's quest for 500 magical cherry tomatoes has been completed.

[The manager of the tower is delighted with the basket full of magical cherry tomatoes.]

[The manager of the tower hurriedly grumbles, "What are you doing?]

I tried to force myself to hide my liking, but it all came out through the message. The tower's manager had a simpler personality than I thought.

And now I'm not in a bad mood. So, I decided not to give up today.

"I'll give you this next time."

Sejun received two quests and put them all on hold. Last time I was taken away without knowing anything, but I can't take away this delicious thing.

'Let me eat too!'

[The tower manager urges him to give it to him next time.]

Sejun was angry at the tower manager's attitude of asking for money as if he were in debt, but he decided to put up with it today.

I didn't want that to interfere with my enjoyment.

"But what about this?"

The sweet potatoes were big enough to share with the rabbits, but the cherry tomatoes were too small.

"Then there is only one way."

Eat quickly and destroy the evidence!

I decided to give the rabbits lots of magic cherry tomatoes.

Sejun put a blue cherry tomato into his mouth.

Podeudeuk.

The skin of the cherry tomato, which contains the energy of the Blue Moon, was chewed like jelly.

And

chock!

Cherry tomato juice soaked Sejun's mouth, and a sweet and sour taste bounced around him.

If Magical Cherry Tomatoes was a simple local festival, Magical Cherry Tomatoes containing the energy of the Blue Moon was a splendid city festival.

gulp.

[You have ingested magical cherry tomatoes that contain the energy of the Blue Moon.]

[Magic power increases by 0.05 permanently.]

"Umm…"

Even after swallowing, the message was not even noticed by the aftertaste of sweet and sour taste in the mouth.

After eating the blue cherry tomatoes, Sejun went to the Buddhist temple.

"It's a pity there's no silver foil…"

Sejun had an all-purpose pie leaf.

Pudeudeuk.

I broke the green onion and wrapped the sweet potato around the leaves.

And waited.

"Hehehehehehehe."

I hummed in anticipation of being able to eat the baked sweet potato. I could have caught piranhas or harvested cherry tomatoes in my spare time, but I didn't do that today.

It is the first day to receive roasted sweet potatoes here. The fire was reverently guarded so that the sweet potato would not burn.

'As expected, waiting for something delicious is the happiest.'

how much time has passed

Follow, follow.

Beep

!

Beep.

Piya!

Subtract!

A rabbit family rumbled out of their den.

sniff sniff.

sniff sniff.

The rabbits came out of the burrow and closed their eyes, and naturally, as the sweet potatoes were being roasted, they came to the fire, guided by the fire.

"Wait a little, I'll let you eat something delicious."

I'm sorry!

At Sejun's words, the rabbits cheered. The rabbit couple also crossed arms behind them and waited cheerfully.

After waiting for a while, the burnt smell of roasted sweet potato started to come out.

Piya!

Subtract!

The baby rabbits began to worry that the sweet potato might be burning.

But Sejun wasn't impatient. Timing is important here. If you take it out in haste, only the outside will be cooked, and if you take it out too late, the outside will be completely burned.

Sejun watched carefully, waiting for the smell to ripen.

And

'Now!'

Sejun quickly took out the pie leaves wrapped in sweet potatoes from the fire.

Shuk. Shuk.

I peeled off the charred pie leaves.

Then, I saw a sweet potato with the skin on the bottom slightly burned.

gulp.

Sejun carefully poked the sweet potato with a fish thorn.

hooked

Squeak.

Fish spines gently going into the center of the sweet potato.

'done! Perfect!'

With a big smile, Sejun lifted the roasted sweet potato using the fish bones like chopsticks and moved it onto the clean pie leaves.

Then, cut the pie leaves into small pieces, hold the end of the roasted sweet potato, and begin to peel it.

"Oh, it's hot!"

The roasted sweet potato was hot enough to burn my hands while peeling it, but I endured it thinking of the sweet potato I would eat soon.

Seruk.

A precious sweet potato that sticks to the skin and falls apart every time it is peeled.

'I have to eat alone later.'

Sejun gathered the sweet potato skins in one place so that no one would notice.

But

pi!

Excuse me!

The baby rabbits had already sniffed the sweet potato skins and were eagerly licking the sweet potatoes sticking to the skins.

'Smart guys.'

The behavior of the rabbits, who wake up on their own without being taught, was admirable. As I got to know them, they were gifted rabbits who knew fever even without being taught.

As the skin was taken away by the baby rabbits, Sejun peeled the skin of the sweet potato except for the tip.

Morak Morak.

"Hehehe."

Looking at the hot steam coming out of the roasted sweet potato with a yellow whisper made me smile.

Piya!

Ppa!

The rabbits, who had eaten enough to clean their skins, were shouting for sweet potatoes.

"okay."

Sejun sliced up some roasted sweet potatoes on each leaf plate. Because they shared sweet potatoes, there would be no effect of increasing their strength.

But

I don't care.

As it was the first crop harvested, I wanted to eat it with my family. Since there were a lot of people in the family, sweet potatoes were shared, so the amount that went to each person was not much.

Then

"No!"

subtracted?

When Sejun stopped the baby rabbits from trying to eat the baked sweet potato placed in front of him, the babies were taken aback.

"We should eat together. Bring your parents."

Subtract!

At Sejun's words, the baby rabbits ran and brought them as if they were bringing a couple of rabbits.

And finally everyone sat down in front of their plate of leaves.

"Let's eat!"

Beep! Wow!

Beep! Wow!

ppap! Wow!

The rabbits put the roasted sweet potato in their mouths and hurriedly spit it out. There is no smoke, so it doesn't seem to have cooled down.

"Keukkeu. Let it cool down before eating. Hooh. Hooh."

Sejun showed how to blow enough air toward the roasted sweet potato to cool it down.

Whoa.

Whoa.

Pooh.

The rabbits followed Sejun and blew a breeze to cool the sweet potatoes.

"Shall we eat now?"

waap.

Sejun took a big bite of the roasted sweet potato, and hot steam with sweetness spread in his mouth. The inside of the sweet potato was still hot.

But Sejun had advanced skills.

"Huh up. Hoop up."

Sejun rolled the sweet potato in his mouth and cooled it with the air in his mouth. Of course, the downside is that it doesn't look like much.

Giving up on the visuals, Sejun carefully chewed the cooled sweet potato.

water.

Soft mashed pumpkin sweet potato. It felt like they were already splitting and paving their way before Sejun started to strike. And finally, the long-awaited sweetness exploded. The whole world seemed to turn yellow.

'It tastes like honey.'

Of course, it would have been nice if there was a collaboration with milk and kimchi, but that wasn't enough.

The CEO of the deceased Apple phone also said.

simple is best.

Rather, I was able to focus on the pure sweetness of pumpkin sweet potato because there was nothing else incidental. Pumpkin sweet potato competed squarely with only one sweetness, but it was not boring or boring at all.

"It was a good fight."

Before he knew it, Sejun ate even the skin.

'In the future, if someone ignores sweet potato as a bad crop, I have to say something. Sweet potato is a good match.'

Sejun got up from his seat while thinking about other things.

growl

then

There was a noise from the ship.

"Why?"

I felt like I had eaten a lot, but my stomach was empty.

"ah."

Come to think of it, the only things I ate for breakfast were a cherry tomato and some roasted sweet potatoes.

It was natural to be hungry.

Piya!

I'm sorry!

The baby rabbits began to whine from hunger.

Pudeudeuk. Pudeudeuk.

The rabbit couple hurriedly prepared breakfast by cutting green onions and roasting them.

and

"Wait a minute."

Sejun also brought cherry tomatoes from the cellar, gave them to the pups one by one, and ran to the pond to catch the piranhas.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Thanks to the cherry tomatoes, the rabbits became quiet.

That's how the 4th blue moon passed without a big accident.

One day, a mysterious tower suddenly appeared in the city. The people decided to call it a dungeon, and while it was full of rugged terrain and dangerous monsters, it was also a land of opportunity, where countless treasures awaited. When Sejun, a young man living an ordinary life, is invited to the dungeon by chance, he is thrilled at the prospect of becoming rich, but he is stranded in a hidden area of the mysterious tower. All he has is a few seeds and his body. Now Sejun must farm, collect resources, and figure out his own survival strategy!
