ck Tower’s Administrator Area.
[It wasn’t my intention to hide it from you, Aileen. I just wanted to appear cute to my master…]
“Really?”
[Of course! I swear on my leaves!]
“Alright. I’ll trust you.”
Convinced by mie’s heartfelt oath, Aileen decided to trust mie’s words.
“But how did you end up extending your roots to Earth?”
[I heard that my master’s family was in danger, and with my desire to protect them, I pushed my roots as far as I could, and they reached Earth.]
“Really? Have you extended your roots anywhere else?”
[Yes, but I’m not sure exactly where.]
“Then tell me anything you’ve seen or heard from there. I might know something about it.”
[Yes. Thank you.]
Thus, Aileen began to listen to information about the surroundings where mie’s roots had extended.

Silver Dragon’s Territory
Thud. Thud.
Dragons arrived for the meeting, all converging at about the same time due to the urgency of the matter.
Although it had been nearly a month since theirst meeting at the Golden Dragon’s territory, none of them exchanged pleasantries.
To dragons, such a period was but a fleeting moment; by human standards, it’s like not saying hello again to someone you saw a few minutes ago.
Soon,
“I, Crise, the head of the Hisron family n and the Silver Dragons, wee everyone to the Silver Dragon’s territory. Now that everyone is here, let’s begin the meeting.”
Crise greeted everyone and started the meeting.
“As you all know, the 10th Tower has appeared. If anyone knows anything about this 10th Tower, please share.”
Crise asked the other dragons if they had any information about the 10th Tower that had appeared below Destruction. At times like these, even a small piece of information was valuable.
However,
“I don’t know anything.”
“Neither do I.”
No dragon had any information about the 10th Tower.
“Then let’s form an investigation team with 10 dragons from each tribe to investigate and explore the 10th Tower.”
The dragons, following their customs, agreed to assemble an investigation team.
“The investigation team will gather here in five days and then depart. Go back and send your dragons.”
The decision to send a total of 90 dragons to the 10th Tower was finalized, and Crise concluded the meeting.
As the dragons prepared to leave,
“Has anyone here tried Samyangju?”
Ramter Zahir of the Red Dragons asked the others.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.
“Ramter, you too?!”
“I’ve tried it as well.”
“Me too.”
Ramter’s question surprised the other dragons. They had thought they were the only ones who had received the liquor.
“But who made Samyangju and distributed it to us?”
“I wish I could drink it again…”
“Right. Not just for the rity it gives to the mind, but I can’t forget its fragrance.”
“The fragrance is good, but I like the way it how smoothly it goes down my throat.”
The dragons began discussing who might have created Samyangju and shared their appreciation for its taste.
“It must be a hidden arrangement by the Creator, just for us dragons who can fight against destruction.”
Tier Peten of the Purple Dragons spoke with conviction.
Shaking.
“Kellion, don’t give it away.”
Kaiser cautioned Kellion, who was itching to join the conversation.
Kaiser himself wanted to boast that it was Sejun, the Tower Farmer of their ck Tower, who had made Samyangju and saved them, but he restrained himself. Revealing that the Samyangju came from the ck Tower would lead other dragons to demand it, putting pressure on Kaiser.
Even Kaiser couldn’t withstand the pressure from the other dragons, which would ultimately lead to sharing the Samyangju made by Sejun with the others, reducing their own share. Therefore, he remained silent.
Then,
“Hey, Kaiser, Kellion, you’ve been quiet. Didn’t you get any Samyangju? Want me to give you some? Keke.”
Tier taunted Kaiser and Kellion, noticing their silence.
“What?! Of course, we got it! We knew about Samyangju before any of you did!”
Kellion, provoked by Tier’s taunt, blurted out without thinking before Kaiser could stop him.
“You knew first?!”
“Kellion, what are you saying?”
As Kellion’s response sparked the interest of the other dragons. If they knew about the Samyangju before the others, they might have some small information about it.
“Uh! That’s…”
Kellion, realizing his mistake, became flustered when,
“Let’s go, Kellion. We should leave now!”
“Ah! Yes, let’s go.”
Kaiser quickly left the Silver Dragon’s territory with Kellion.
“The two of them seem suspicious…”
The remaining dragons found Kaiser and Kellion’s abrupt departure odd, but
“It’s nothing suspicious! They are surely lying. That’s why they left so quickly.”
Tier continued to belittle them, causing difort among the dragons.
“Let’s leave as well.”
“Yeah, me too.”
The dragons, ufortable with the situation, began to depart one by one to their respective territories.
Meanwhile,
“Is Kaiser alright? Did he really not get any Samyangju?”
Ramter, who had received help from Kaiser before, flew after the two dragons with some remaining Samyangju, just in case, wondering if they truly hadn’t received any.

After finishing grafting the grapevines, Sejun hummed in anticipation of the future grapes.
“Hmm hmm hmm.”
Sejun, excited about the grapes, hummed a tune while nting carrot seeds in the holes he had created in the field, infusing them with magic.
Swoosh.
As Sejun covered the hole where he nted the seeds with soil,
[You have nted the seed of Agility Carrot in the soil imbued with magic.]
[Your job experience has increased slightly.]
[Due to Agility Carrot seeds listening to the sound of the farmer’s footsteps, the effect of Magic Seed Sowing Lv. 8 has been enhanced.]
[With the effect of Magic Seed Sowing Lv. 8, the growth rate of the Agility Carrot seeds will double for the next 24 hours.]
[The probability of obtaining a new variety is increased by five times due to the effect of Magic Seed Sowing Lv. 8.]
[Your proficiency of Magic Seed Sowing Lv. 8 has increased slightly.]
Among the disyed messages, one particrly stood out. This was the reason why Sejun was nting the seeds by hand instead of using the Myler’s hoe to nt them in bulk.
-When nting seeds by hand, the probability of obtaining new variety increases five times. (Does not apply to tenant farmers.)
With Magic Seed Sowing reaching Lv. 8, Sejun tolerated the inconvenience to nt seeds by hand due to the increased chance of obtaining new varieties.
Suddenly,
“Chairman Park! Am I doing well, meow?”
Thud. Thud.
Theo, helping Sejun, asked while making holes with his dragon ws for Sejun to nt the carrot seeds.
Not because he didn’t know but…
“Yes, Vice Chairman Theo, you’re doing great.”
“Puhuhut, I knew that, meow!”
Theo wanted to receive praise from Sejun.
“Hmm hmm hmm.”
“Chairman Park! Am I doing well, meow?”
“Oh yes.”
“Puhuhut, I knew it, meow!”
Theo continued to work, intermittently seeking Sejun’s affirmation.
And then,
Krueng?
[Daddy, is Cuengi doing well too?]
Cuengi, who was nting various seeds in the field alongside Sejun, also wanted Sejun’s praise.
“You’ve nted them well. Good job.”
After checking Cuengi’s work, Sejunplimented him.
Kuehehehe, Krueng!
[Hehehe, Cuengi will grow herbs to make Daddy strong!]
Motivated by Sejun’s praise, Cuengi clenched his front paws with determination.
As the saying goes, you reap what you sow, but Sejun just patted Cuengi’s head without saying anything and returned to his spot to nt more carrots.
While workingte into the afternoon,
“Ah, I want some crab stew.”
Sejun suddenly craved a dish and inadvertently spoke it out loud.
“Puhuhut, Chairman Park, do you want to eat crab, meow? I, Vice Chairman Theo, will catch some for you, meow!”
Before Sejun could say anything, Theo dashed towards theke in the cave.
Dadadada.
Before Sejun could stop him, Theo quickly ran towards theke in the cave.
Krueng! Krueng!
[Big brother Cuengi will catch crabs too! Daddy, just wait a little!]
Dadadada.
And so, Cuengi also hurried after Theo towards theke.
“Then, I’ll wait while ying with mie.”
Sejun decided to wait for them while ying with mie and went down to the cave.
“mie, how have you been?”
[Master! Hello!]
p, p.
mie greeted Sejun with its five leaves waving enthusiastically.
Thump.
As Sejun sat down beside mie,
[First, take this. Yap!]
mie used the ability of its fourth leaf.
The fourth leaf turned red and its ability, the me of Growth, seeped into Sejun’s body.
[The me of Growth seeps in for 3 hours.]
[The me of Growth will enhance yourtent potential for 3 hours.]
“Thanks. But what does the fifth leaf do?”
[The fifth leaf has the Golden me, which increases luck in gaining wealth.]
“Really? Then I’ll try it on Vice Chairman Theoter.”
[Heehee! That would be fun!]
And with that, Sejun and mie talked alone for the first time in a long time.
Shortly after,
Ssh!
Theo and Cuengi emerged, creating a huge ssh, each carrying a massive 50-meter crab, including the legs, lifted above their heads. The two crabs were of simr size, making it difficult to decide which wasrger.
“Puhuhut, Chairman Park, eat the crab I caught, meow!”
Theo, upon spotting Sejun, offered him the crab he had caught.
Then,
Krueng! Krueng!
[No, Daddy should eat the crab Cuengi caught!]
Cuengi quickly offered his crab to Sejun.
“Calm down, guys. We can eat both.”
Sejun calmed them down and was about to dismember the crabs when,
“Ah, presentation is important for this dish.”
Sejun changed his mind about how to prepare the crabs.
“Cuengi, can you open this up?”
He asked Cuengi to separate the crab shells.
Krueng!
[Got it!]
Cuengi, having erged, easily separated the shells from two crabs.
“Cuengi, please wash these.”
Sejun asked Cuengi to clean the shells while
“Vice Chairman Theo, ws.”
“Here they are, meow!”
Snip!
Scrape, scrape.
Using Theo’s ws, Sejun skillfully cut the crab legs and body into suitable sizes, cleaning them thoroughly.
Once the crabs were prepared,
“Land Moving.”
Sejun went above ground and created arge, two fire pits in the ground, filled it with firewood,
Snap.
and lit a fire.
Krueng
[Daddy, the crab shells are all clean!]
“Cuengi, put the shells here.”
Sejun instructed Cuengi to ce therge crab shells on top of the fire pit, nning to use them as pots.
And then,
Sizzle.
Sejun began cooking at a spot he had made between the fire pit, pouring water into the giant crab shells ced over the pits.
Da da da da.
First, he sliced radish, green onions, and onions, adding them to make a broth.
Bubble, bubble.
As the water started to boil,
Plunk. Plunk.
He added the prepared crab legs and bodies, seasoning with Cheongyang chili peppers and salted shrimp.
Shortly after,
Slurp.
“Mmm. Good.”
After tasting, Sejun was satisfied with the vor. Though the crab stew turned out clear due to theck of other seasonings, it was delicious.
“Guys, let’s eat!”
Sejun called the animals who had been drooling looking over the fire-pit, to eat the crab stew.
On day 348 of being stranded, Sejun and the animals had another fulfilling day, working hard and eating well.
