"Huh?! It's a wandering merchant."

"Oh! It's a cat!"

"A wandering cat merchant!"

"Let's go see what they sell."

Hunters approached Theo with interest.

"Eh? Cherry tomatoes?"

The approaching hunters were disappointed when they saw the heaps of cherry tomatoes Theo had piled up on the mat. I was expecting a weapon or a mysterious potion sold by a vagabond merchant, but it was worth it since it was a cherry tomato that could be eaten outside.

"Foolish humans, I thought you would. This is different from the cherry tomatoes you know."

Sejun confirmed that he did what Theo told him to do well when he was selling tumblers and other items, so he gave very detailed instructions.

"Different?"

"That's right. Check the options once."

Theo appealed that cherry tomatoes were an item as Sejun instructed.

"option?!"

"Was this an item?"

Hunters picked up cherry tomatoes and started checking options.

"Magical cherry tomatoes?"

"A 0.1 increase in horsepower for 10 minutes?"

"It's too low."

As expected, the reaction of the male hunters was not that good. Their level is 45-48. If you add up their level and equipment options, they have 0.1 horsepower, but it was only one mana stat.

But,

"Can you break down 10g of fat just by eating this?"

"Is this really possible?"

The reaction of the female hunters was different. They immediately recognized the true value of the product. There were countless women who wanted to stay in shape while eating something delicious when they went out.

And above all, the options written on the item do not lie.

"How much is this?!"

One of the female hunters, Jessica, was excited and asked the price of the cherry tomatoes. As soon as she saw this, she thought of her sister Anna.

Anna even underwent gastrectomy for being extremely obese, but started binge eating due to depression last year and her weight went up to 120kg again.

To Jessica, who was worried about Anna's health these days, the magic cherry tomatoes felt like a ray of light.

"It's 0.05 Top Coin per magical cherry tomato."

"what?!"

Theo's words surprised the other hunters. This is because the price of one cherry tomato was absurdly expensive.

"I'll live half of this here."

"Eh?! Really like this?! Half of it is 500!"

Jessica's words took Theo by surprise this time. 500 is 25 top coins. At once, the sales amount of the contract far exceeded 5 top coins. That meant that Sejun's crops would have to be sold forever.

"Yes. I'll buy 500. Here's 25 top coins."

Jessica handed over the money. It wasn't a lot of money compared to what I had already spent on Anna's treatment.

"Everything… why don't you think again? Human, you're buying on impulse."

Theo didn't want to take Jessica's money to break the lifetime contract, but rather stopped the purchase.

But it backfired.

'I'm buying 500 of them, but they're rather dry?'

'Isn't this something?'

'Should I buy some and give them to my girlfriend?'

Seeing Theo's attitude of not wanting to sell, the Hunters became rather curious.

"Give me 100 too."

"I have 50."

"I have 50 too!"

Hunters started to buy cherry tomatoes competitively. Although the price of one cherry tomato was high, it was not a lot of money for an elite hunter like them.

That much Top Coin is enough money to earn by hunting for a few days. They were willing to pay enough to satisfy their curiosity.

After the break, the hunters went hunting for spider monsters again.

"Oh… how can it be…"

Theo wept as he looked at the empty mat.

"Wow…it's sold out."

Nyangsaeng's first sold out. The legend of Theo, the wandering cat trader, was beginning.

***

Day 134 of distress.

"It's okay."

Sejun woke up vigorously today.

Every time I leveled up, I raised my strength and stamina with bonus stats, and my body was in good condition, but now I am full of energy every morning. In addition, it seemed to be subtly good that the top farmer's job characteristic was not to treat small illnesses.

Snug.

Sejun started the day by going to the wall and drawing a stroke on the wall that had become a habit.

Beep!

Beep!

I'm sorry!

hit!

The White Rabbits and the Black Rabbits got up and said good morning to Sejun.

"Yes. Good morning."

The rabbits who greeted each other started their own work. Sejun also washed his face in a small pond and started harvesting cherry tomatoes.

Talk. Talk.

[You have harvested ripe Cherry Tomatoes of Magical Power.]

[Job EXP increases very slightly.]

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

[Acquired 10 EXP.]

…

..

.

While harvesting cherry tomatoes like that,

[Level up.]

[Acquired bonus stat 1.] It's been

a while since I leveled up to level 10. Sejun increased his strength with bonus stats.

"Are you doing well?"

Sejun thought of Theo. You should have met the Hunters by now.

"How many are you going to sell?"

I didn't even expect a finish. Since he was so immature, I was very worried about whether he would be able to sell it properly.

"Still, he taught me the special moves. I'm sure he'll sell half of them, right?"

Sejun's special technique, the free tasting and kukkkukgi service. However, Sejun didn't expect that the cherry tomatoes would be sold out in a matter of minutes before Theo even used his special move.

"If the cherry tomatoes start selling, my name will be known, right? Hehehe."

Sejun felt proud that the crops bearing his name were being sold. Buzzed

then

.

A poisonous bee came through a hole in the cave's ceiling.

"I'm here?"

Bubi bubi

Today, the poisonous bee rubbed her body on Sejun's face and took a stamp of attendance while trembling with aegyo.

And

buzz.

I went to the cherry tomato field to suck honey.

And how much time has passed

Beep!

My wife, Rabbit, started putting dried pie leaves into the fire. It was lunchtime. Time passed quickly as I harvested the cherry tomatoes and helped the rabbits water the field.

Hit! Hit!

Black Rabbit, who was training by hitting the wall with a hammer, called Sejun. Black Rabbit always waited for the piranha hunting time because it was the time of the day when he could be most active.

"Yes. I'm going."

Sejun hurriedly moved to the pond and swung his torch left and right.

with a splash!

Knock!

Neat hammering. Now the black rabbit has hunted the piranha very skillfully.

When he hunted 5 piranhas like that, the black rabbit's body briefly shone.

"Huh?! Did you level up?

Nodding.

Black Rabbit nodded vigorously.

I've seen white rabbits level up a few times while doing farm work, but this is the first time I've seen a black rabbit level up.

"Congratulations on leveling up. Black

Rabbit

looked at Sejun triumphantly. What about

me ?

I ran to the white rabbits and loudly announced the news of their

level

up

. Beep

!

Sejun quietly got up from his seat after finishing the show. These days, Sejun has a pleasure after lunch

. I have to drink coffee."

Sejun got up from his seat and took the tumbler he had placed on his designated seat with light steps.

When Theo left and opened the tumbler to use as a cup,

"It's coffee!"

Inside the tumbler were 10 bags of Ganu. Neither the merchant nor Theo seemed to have opened the tumbler.

A great deal. Perhaps Sejun would have paid if Theo had sold coffee instead of the tumbler. Sejun

took the tumbler to a small pond, filled it up to a quarter with water, and

sighed . I

grabbed the tip of the ganoo and flicked my index finger lightly to brush off the tip. I couldn't miss a single coffee grain. I tore off the opening of a bag of ganoo coffee that was ready and put it in a tumbler. Then shake shake the

coffee

grains

. I closed the lid and shook it to dissolve it.

Click. Slurp

.

I opened the entrance and Sejun took a sip of coffee.

Shoot.

The bitter taste came out, and the fishy smell of the fish and the sweetness of the green onion were washed away cleanly by the black waves of the coffee

. After all, coffee after dinner."

There was no tool to boil water with, so there was no ice to boil, so I couldn't make it, but drinking coffee with cool pond water wasn't

bad

either

.

"Oh, I like it."

The bitterness and sweetness harmonized to create a new taste.

The rabbits shook their heads as if they couldn't understand Sejun's smile while drinking coffee.

On the first day of drinking coffee, the rabbits were curious, so give them a little. I saw it and tried it once and shuddered. It was the same with coffee with honey. The rabbit's tongue seemed to feel the bitter taste of coffee more sensitively. Sejun, who ate coffee properly for dessert, started farming in the afternoon

.

" Excitement."

Sejun hummed, harvesting cherry tomatoes and watering the field. We only had a cup of coffee for lunch, but we enjoyed the whole afternoon. That's how we ended the day in a good mood. Beep! Beep

!

The

rabbits

greeted Sejun and went to their oysters. He went in and got ready to sleep.

"Goodnight!"

Sejun also greeted the rabbits and went to his bed, patting the soil to make a bed.

At that time

, buzzing,

a poisonous bee was busy flying around the ceiling of the cave.

"You haven't gone yet . ?" Although they

came early and left late these days, this

was

the first time the poisonous bee hadn't

returned

. i sleep See you tomorrow."

Curry.

Sejun fell asleep as soon as he put his head on the dirt pillow.

Buzzing.

The poisonous bee worked hard to build something on the ceiling of the cave.

***

"Why aren't you coming?"

Scaram, a goblin wandering merchant who cheated on Theo, waited for Theo to return. It was time for him to come back disappointed, as he obviously couldn't sell the goods he handed over.

' That's it.'

Then, from then on, he will work like a slave until he dies to pay back the interest that grows throughout his life, let alone the principal, to pay back the money he borrowed

. It's been a long time since I've asked a proper question."

Scaram smiled.

Waiting for Theo, Scarim went to the bulletin board where the sales amount rankings of wandering merchants were displayed. Checking his ranking once a day, he felt proud. It was one of

the

pleasures

of

life

.

You're finally in the top 1000."

It went up one notch from the 1000th to 999th. It was a ranking that he managed to make by beating many rookie wandering merchants.

After confirming his ranking, Scaram took a quick look at the names of merchants higher than himself, starting from the bottom. They were the targets that one day he had to step on and climb up.

At that moment, Scaram's head rose a little and then stopped.

"huh?!"

A name caught my eye that was impossible to be there.

982nd – Theo [50 Top Coins] NEW!

"What happened to this? I'm sure they couldn't sell it…"

Scaram muttered incomprehensibly.

***

buzz.

Sejun wakes up to the sound of the bee's wings. By morning, poisonous bees were busy flying around the ceiling.

Then

"Huh? Honeycomb?"

Sejun saw a small beehive in his eyes. It seemed that he had been busy making this since yesterday.

"Have you moved?

Bubbly.

Bubi

bubi, at Sejun's question, the poison bee moved up and down three times and then rubbed its body against Sejun's face as if asking for good wishes.

On the 135th day of distress, the poison bee moved into Sejun's cave on its own.

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!
