“Puhuhut. Only seven more nights to sleep until my birthday, meow.”
Kkuhehehe. Krueng!
[Big brother, me too!]
(Pip-pip. Me as well!)
It was natural since they all shared the same birthday. The animals, who had received their birthdays from Sejun, regained their former vitality, no, in fact, they seemed even more energetic than before.
It seemed like everything was resolved, but something was strange. No one was preparing for the birthday.
“Did you guys prepare any gifts?”
“What gift are you talking about, meow?”
Theo looked at Sejun, puzzled by his question.
Krueng!
[I’m ready to receive gifts!]
Cuengi patted his cute belly.
(Pip-pip? Why do we need to prepare gifts?)
The golden bat was also equally baffled.
“As expected……”
The animals were only thinking about receiving gifts, not giving any.
“Think about it. If all of you only think about receiving gifts, from whom will the Vice Chairman receive a gift?”
Sejun tried to point out that if everyone expected to receive gifts, then no one would actually get any.
However,
“Of course, Chairman Park will, meow!”
“Huh?!”
Krueng! Krueng!
[Of course! Cuengi will get a gift from dad!]
(Pip-pip! Sejun will give me my gift!)
The animals all had a n. A n to receive gifts from Sejun…
“Then, what about my gift?”
“I will massage Chairman Park’s sour face, meow!”
Krueng!
[Cuengi will protect daddy!]
(Pip-pip! I will bring things that Sejun needs!)
“Ah……”
Sejun realized. He had already received a lot from the animals as gifts.
However,
“It still feels a bit unfair.”
In the end, it meant Sejun had to prepare gifts for all the animals. Although it could be settled with grilled fish, churu, honey and rice cakes, fruit juice, carrots, grass.
“And who said I have a sour face!!!”
Whack!
Sejun grabbed and pulled the cheek of Theo, who had spoken rudely, as punishment.
“Meow?! What are you doing, meow?!”
Theo struggled to get out of Sejun’s grasp.
However,
‘Oh! This is healing!’
Sejun was addicted to the softness of Theo’s cheeks and couldn’t let go.
While Sejun was holding Theo’s cheeks,
[The Tower’s administrator says to expect a gift from her as she is preparing one for you.]
“Really? Thank you. But when is Aileen’s birthday?”
Sejun, who thought he would not receive a single birthday gift, was delighted by Aileen’s words and asked about Aileen’s birthday.
[The Tower’s administrator says her birthday is on May 5th.]
“Oh! Children’s Day?”
[The Tower’s administrator is angry, saying she is not a child.]
[The Tower’s administrator shouts that she can also get married.]
“Ah! Aileen, I didn’t mean you’re a child, but in Korea, where I live, May 5th is a day celebrated for children.”
[The Tower’s administrator asks with anticipation whether she will receive a present if she’s a child.]
‘Didn’t you just get mad saying you’re not a child?’
“Either way, it won’t work for you. If you’re over 13 years old, you’re not a child and can’t receive a gift.”
Sejun tly denied.
[The Tower’s administrator is disappointed, asking why are you being so stingy about age.]
‘Is that stingy?’
And if people up to your age are treated as children, then everyone living on Earth is a child.
While Sejun was talking with Aileen,
“It’s a waste, meow! I’m not a child, meow!”
Krueng!
[Cuengi is not 13 yet, so he is a child! Cuengi can receive gifts on Children’s Day!]
(Pip-pip! I can get one too!)
The animals were eavesdropping on Sejun’s conversation and calcting if they could receive gifts on Children’s Day.
“Anyway, thank you. It seems that the only one preparing a birthday gift for me is Aileen.”
[…….]
Aileen fell silent again at Sejun’s words.
Once the birthday talk was settled,
“Are you growing well?”
Sejun went to the walnut field. Just yesterday, Sejun had sessfully nted three walnuts.
(…T…)
The first walnut nted had already spread its leaves wide open,
(…i…)
And the sapling of thest walnut, nted yesterday, was just breaking through the soil, shyly showing its head.
The rapid growth of the walnut was thanks to the failed experience of nting the elixir-grade cherry tomatoes.
When he first nted the walnut,
Thunk.
Sejun infused the ground with magic power while digging with Myler’s Hoe. He had realized that infusing the ground with magic power helped the crops when he nted the elixir-grade cherry tomatoes.
So, he infused the ground with magic power when nting walnuts.
[You have nted the Walnut of Training in the ground infused with magic power.]
[You have achieved the achievement of sessfully nting crops in the ground infused with magic power.]
[Your job experience greatly increases.]
[Sowing Lv. 6 evolves into Magic Sowing Lv. 6.]
[Due to the effect of Magic Sowing Lv. 6, the chance of the Walnut of Training taking root increases.]
[Due to the effect of Magic Sowing Lv. 6, the growth speed of the Walnut of Training increases for 24 hours.]
As a result, the Sowing skill evolved into Magic Sowing, creating a miracle where sprouts emerged just a day after nting the walnuts.
Of course, Magic Sowing was applicable to other crops as well, so the overall cultivation period of crops grown on Sejun’s farm significantly decreased.
And that meant an increase in crop yield during the same period.
“So, we must sell crops even more diligently. Isn’t that right, Vice Chairman Theo?”
“Meow?! Why, meow?”
Before he knew it, Sejun had put a bag on Theo’s back and lifted Theo off hisp, cing him on the floor.
And just like that, Theo, who was nning to rx and eat until his birthday, had to go down the tower once again.
***
-At around 8 o’clockst night, the US Navy… fired missiles at the Mashaho in the sea, sinking it. The Mashaho was a grain transport ship that departed from Lagos, Nigeria…
Currently, every country was on high alert. They were blocking the entry of all ships departing from Nigeria, and if a ship that entered their waters lost contact, they preemptively fired missiles.
The reason countries responded so aggressively was because they saw daily what kind of damage Brazil was suffering due to its dyed response.
A few days ago, a drifting ship approached the harbor near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The harbor control tower sent a security team to the grain transport ship that was not responding to radiomunications, but the security team reported that there were a tremendous number of locusts on the ship and then lost contact.
Realizing the situation was not normal, the control tower immediately requested military assistance, but there was a dy, and the ship got closer to Brazil.
p. p.
Hundreds of thousands of starving locusts flew into Brazil. Since then, every day in Brazil was like a war.
For the first two days, the damage was minimalpared to what was feared. asionally one or two were spotted, but it was manageable for the police.
However, on the third day.
p. p.
The blue sky was covered with blue locusts. Their numbers were over a billion.
Brazil, with its abundant greenery, was an ideal breeding ground for these locusts. They multiplied exponentially without any hindrance.
Overnight, a city was taken over by the locusts. The number of deaths, with no bodies to be found, was in the hundreds of thousands. It was a catastrophe.
Since then, Brazil had mobilized its army to fight against the locusts, but to little effect.
Because other countries were receiving this information about Brazil daily, they strengthened their guard against all ships approaching them from the sea.

“Land Moving!”
Thud!
After sending Theo down, Sejun spent the entire afternoon nting corn with Myler’s hoe.
Although the Land Moving and Magic Sowing skills consumed a lot of magic power, Sejun’s talent, Enhanced Magic Circuit, allowed him to recover magic power quickly, making it manageable.
And,
Krueng!
p! p!
Cuengi was lying on the bed made by Sejun, rolling around and singing with the golden bat while waiting for his stomach to empty.
At that moment,
“Sejun! We’ve arrived!”
Giant silver wolves came running.
“Good job. How is the 83rd floor of the tower?”
“Fortunately, we found a farm. And there are no dangerous monsters nearby. Hegel is guarding it now.”
Elka, who had returned from scouting the 83rd floor of the tower at Sejun’s request, answered. Sejun had learned from the experience of going to the 77th floor using a Land Deed Document and had Elka scout the 83rd floor before using the Land Deed Document.
“Really? What’s on the farm?”
“Well… You will be disappointed. Ah!”
Elka hesitated and carefully brought out a crop with his front paw, then dropped it with a painful expression.
Thud.
The crop was covered with thorns like a hedgehog.
“Huh?!”
“As I thought, you would be disappointed. It is inedible.”
Elka spoke as if he had expected Sejun’s reaction. However, he looked regretful for not being able to please Sejun.
“No! It’s edible! This is a chestnut!”
“What?! Chestnut?”
“Yes. Just a moment.”
Sejun paused, examining the thorns of the chestnut and carefully flicking them with his finger.
Ping.
A metallic sound was heard. Growing in the tower made it extraordinary. A Chestnut with steel thorns. Given that even Elka was in pain when pricked, they couldn’t be ordinary thorns.
‘Wow. This is dangerous.’
If he had carelessly stepped on it, his foot would have been full of holes. Moreover, the thorns might even be poisonous.
“Cuengi, help me!”
Sejun eventually called Cuengi, the all-rounder handyman.
Krueng? Krueng!
[Did you call? Cuengi will help daddy!]
Upon Sejun’s call, Cuengi, carrying the golden bat on his back, rushed over eagerly.
“Peel this for me.”
Sejun carefully held one of the chestnut and handed it to Cuengi.
Krueng.
Cuengi, who received the chestnut, easily peeled it as if peeling an orange. Although there were steel thorns, they were not strong enough to prate Cuengi’s thick skin.
Ping. Ping.
Rather, the thorns of the chestnut broke as if they were crushed by Cuengi’s strength.
And then,
Krueng! Krueng?
[Here it is! But what is this?]
He asked, while looking at the tworge chestnuts that came out.
“This is called a chestnut. Try eating it.”
Swoosh. Swoosh.
Sejun sliced the chestnut with his dagger and put it in Cuengi’s mouth.
Chew. Chew.
Cuengi, chewing the chestnut, widened his eyes in surprise.
Krueng! Krueng!
[This is interesting! It’s my first time tasting it, but it’s delicious!]
Cuengi waved its arms excitedly.
Chew.
“It’s tasty, Right?!”
In the meantime, Sejun ate a chestnut while speaking.
“Cuengi, do you want to go pick chestnuts?”
Krueng!
[Yes!]
Cuengi, who never refused food, answered energetically.
“Good. Then stay in the void storage for a while.”
Sejun rarely used it and often forgot about it, but when Cuengi was in the void storage, he could travel with Sejun.
Krueng!
Cuengi, along with the golden bat, entered the void storage.
And then,
“Guys, I will go to the 83rd floor of the tower for a while.”
This time, he informed the rabbits and mushroom ants in advance that he would go elsewhere, so they wouldn’t worry.
“Aileen, I will go to the 83rd floor of the tower for a while.”
Lastly, he informed Aileen that he would be away.
[The tower administrator says to bring a lot of delicious food when youe back.]
“Got it. I’ll bring back a lot.”
Swish.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.
Sejun answered and then unfolded thend deed document of the 83rd-floor farm.
[The summoning function for the initial engraving of thend deed for the 83rd-floor farm has been activated.]
This time, Sejun safely teleported to the 83rd floor.
