Chapter. 9

The morning of the 95th day of distress.

"Listen, everyone."

Beep?

Subtract?

subtracted?

"I'm going to plant sweet potato sprouts from today."

Sejun made an important announcement to the rabbits eating breakfast. The little rabbits

are

very disappointed with Sejun's important announcement .

Sweet potato sprouts have been one of the favorite snacks of the baby rabbits these days.

It was also the reason Sejun had to plant sweet potato sprouts in a hurry. It seemed that all the sweet potato shoots would disappear if left alone.

Well, sweet potato shoots grow so fast that there is no need to worry, but I decided to plant them today because I can harvest them quickly if I plant them as soon as possible.

"Instead, tonight's dinner is a sweet potato."

Beep!

I'm sorry!

I miss you!

All the rabbits got excited at the word Gungoma.

"Use it…"

Sejun too.

When I lifted the soil around where the sweet potatoes were planted, the sweet potatoes were sparsely open. Of course, I didn't harvest right away.

This is because predators targeting sweet potatoes are keeping an eye on them.

I found out about it at lunch on the day of the 4th Blue Moon. Sejun wanted to eat cherry tomatoes differently than usual.

It reminded me of eating tangerines or pineapples on TV. So I decided to try roasting cherry tomatoes.

'Wouldn't it be cherry tomatoes too?'

It's not like I can't eat anything.

Sejun made skewers with dried pie leaves, inserted three cherry tomatoes each, and started grilling them.

[The manager of the tower watches with interest what he is cooking today.]

A message that suddenly appeared.

"huh?!"

[…]

There was no word after that, as if it was a mistake, but through that, Sejun learned that the tower's manager was watching him from time to time.

And the roasted cherry tomatoes, as said on TV, were very tasty with the sweetness enhanced by the fire.

"Now! Move! Move!"

After breakfast, Sejun and the rabbits moved busily from the morning.

This is because you have to finish harvesting, cutting green onions, watering crops, pollinating cherry tomatoes, which you do every day in the morning, so that you can plant sweet potato sprouts in the afternoon.

The rabbits dispersed to do their own thing.

shoot it

Husband Rabbit watered the crops with a watering can that produced infinite amounts of water

.

My wife, Rabbit, started cutting the green onions with scissors.

"Leave one green onion. I'll keep growing it."

Sejun said to his wife Rabbit. I was thinking of getting seeds by blooming green onion flowers.

Beep!

The wife rabbit nodded at 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 from the root.

Sejun, thinking that the reason was because he didn't plant seeds first, was thinking of growing green onions from seeds.

Piya!

The baby rabbits clung to the cherry tomato tree and climbed the tree eagerly. It seems to be playing, but it was a job.

When the baby rabbits climb the tree, the cherry tomato flowers shake and pollen is blown off the flowers, resulting in natural pollination.

While the rabbits worked in their respective positions, Sejun also harvested the cherry tomatoes.

Tuk. Tuk.

[Harvested ripe cherry tomatoes of magical power.]

[Harvesting Lv. 2's mastery increases very slightly.]

[Job EXP increases slightly.]

[Experience 10 has been acquired.]

…

..

.

[You have leveled up.]

[You have acquired 1 bonus stat.]

You have reached level 8 before you know it. I was full just by seeing the experience points go up, but the level went up.

"Hehehe. It's worthwhile."

Sejun raised his stamina with bonus stats and started working on harvesting cherry tomatoes again.

Took.

Took.

Took.

Then

[Job EXP is full.]

[Top Farmer (F) grade increases.]

[You become Top Farmer (E).]

[Job grade rises and job characteristics are strengthened.]

"Oh!"

Farming is also rewarding. As much as I put in the effort, something more than that keeps coming out.

Sejun's steps as he harvested the cherry tomatoes became lighter.

***

"Now! Let's begin."

After breakfast, Sejun and the rabbits started planting sweet potato shoots.

"To each position!"

Again, the work was divided.

Piya!

I'm sorry!

The baby rabbits lined up next to the wife rabbit.

Sprout. Sprout.

When the wife rabbit cut the sweet potato sprouts, the baby rabbits moved the sweet potato sprouts to the new field.

The rabbits planted sweet potato sprouts one by one in the long, narrow holes that Sejun had dug at regular intervals.

Pang! Pang!

Put a sweet potato sprout in the hole and plant it by stepping on the soil around it with your feet.

and

shoot

The husband rabbit finished by spraying water.

Even though there are many manpower, it took a long time because there were many sweet potato shoots to plant than expected. I planted 300 of them, but there are still 1/3 of sweet potato shoots left.

"Take a break!"

At Sejun's words, the rabbits began to drink the juice, sucking on the chilled cherry tomatoes one by one in a small pond.

"i envy you."

Podeuk. Podeuk.

Sejun chewed on a cold cherry tomato and looked with envy at the rabbits who could drink cherry tomatoes like soda.

"It's okay."

Sejun, who was resting while watching the rabbits with envy, got up from his seat and approached the sweet potato field where the sweet potato shoots had been cut off.

and

puck puck.

He cleared the soil with his hands and started digging up sweet potatoes.

"I wish I had a hoe…"

It was a pity that there was no farming equipment.

[You have harvested Pumpkin Sweet Potatoes of Power.]

[Job EXP increases very slightly.]

[Harvesting Lv. The skill level of 2 rises very slightly.]

[Acquired 10 EXP.]

…

..

.

"Wow. A lot."

Sejun looked proudly at the sweet potatoes he had harvested. A total of 15 sweet potatoes were harvested. For each sweet potato planted, about 5 sweet potatoes were harvested. The number was small, but the seeds were thick.

Sejun picked up a sweet potato and examined it.

[Pumpkin Sweet Potato of Power]

"My mother would love to go outside with this…"

I often saw my mother struggling to go to the bathroom because of constipation. Sejun thought about the house for a moment, moved the sweet potatoes, and

had to hide them before the predators could see them. Pie leaves were laid on the floor in a cool corner of the cave, eight sweet potatoes were placed side by side and covered with pie leaves again.

'I won't be able to see it if I do this.'

The remaining seven sweet potatoes were moved to the fire, rolled in pie leaves, and put into the fire. By the time the work is over, the pumpkin roasted sweet potato will be complete.

then

hit

Something stuck to Sejun's clothes fell off.

"It's sweet potato order."

It seemed to have been brought along with the sweet potato. Sejun picked up sweet potato shoots, dug holes in the field, and carefully planted them in the field. One of these sweet potato shoots might produce dozens of sweet potatoes.

"Grow up quickly."

When I planted and watered it with all my heart,

[I planted pumpkin and

sweet potato shoots.] [Sowing Lv. With effect 1, the chance of pumpkin and sweet potato sprouts to survive increases.]

[Sowing Lv. The skill level of 1 increases slightly.]

"…Does this also count as seeding?"

Sejun thought for a moment. To raise the level of seeding, you must plant it yourself.

"Haa…then…I have to do it all…"

The work after the break was for Sejun to do the entire process of planting the sweet potato sprouts by himself, while the rabbits placed the sweet potato sprouts in the holes Sejun had dug. this is very comfortable

sniff sniff.

Instead, the rabbits were given the task of watching over the fire to make sure that the roasted sweet potatoes were not burned.

Just like that, when Sejun planted all the remaining sweet potato shoots,

Biya!

I'm sorry!

The baby rabbits started crying because they smelled burnt.

***

"Is this how you do it?"

A huge black dragon squatted in front of the brazier, tilting its head as it looked at the 30 charred cherry tomatoes lined up on rapiers that looked almost like toothpicks. The color was so different from the one made by humans.

'Let's eat first. He will not die."

No poison can kill him, the Almighty. The dragon hooked the rapier to his teeth and pulled it out.

Slurp.

The cherry tomato, whose skin had turned almost like charcoal, rolled into the dragon's mouth. "… Ugh!"

Unexpectedly,

the bitter taste rose.

" Twa !

"

The dragon hurriedly spit out what he had chewed.

What's wrong? Humans ate deliciously…"

While thinking about how the dragon was different from the humans he watched,

"Huh?!"

As the bitter taste went away, I felt a rich flavor different from the existing cherry tomatoes in my mouth. Heating it with fire gave it a new taste appeared,

"Oh! this is the taste You have to peel it and eat it!" The dragon

, having gained great realization, charred the cherry tomatoes again and whimpered using its claws to barely peel the cherry tomatoes.

. Mmm. It's delicious. It's delicious."

After eating the cherry tomato juice on the dragon's claws, he admired it greatly.

The dragon, who had mastered a new dish like that, sat down in front of the huge crystal ball and started his hobby.

"What

should this human want to see?" It was a tool to check if the tower was running well, but it was working for a hobby now.

And a cave that started to come out of the crystal ball. Sejun and rabbits were having dinner there.

"Huh?! these guys!!! Eileen Pritani, the great black dragon, eats sweet potatoes without Eileen Pritani!" Eileen Pritani,

the black

dragon

,

exclaimed

.

Sejun

also took a big bite of the chilled roasted sweet potato and asked,

'As expected, eating it after work makes it even more delicious.'

Sejun ate the sweet potato, feeling the sweetness in his mouth.

At that time

, [An additional quest occurs.]

"Somehow… Why are you quiet?"

[Quest: Offer 1 Power Pumpkin Roast Potato to the tower manager!]

Reward: None

If rejected: Death! It seems right that the

tower manager is watching.

There is only one sweet potato left.'

There was no reward this time either.

'Look at me!'

Sejun decided to put the quest on hold,

and when he stretched out his hand to eat the roasted sweet potato,

[The tower manager urges you to donate the roasted sweet potato. ]

]

I could feel the tower manager's strong obsession

.

Sejun decided to give him a baked sweet potato.

"Do you have anything to give as a reward?"

Instead, he changed direction and duly demanded a reward if he had to.

[The manager of the tower is puzzled.]

"Embarrassed?"

What is it? Then

[The tower manager corrects the quest.]

[Quest: Offer 1 Power Pumpkin Roasted Potato to the tower manager!]

Reward

: 1 job skill

Rejected: Death!!!!!!!

Another job skill?

I wasn't satisfied, but this time I decided to be satisfied that I received the reward. "I

'll offer you a

I didn't expect any reward
