When he had asked a short while ago, Podori had said it would take time for the grapes to ripen, but now they had suddenly appeared in great abundance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ah! This?! It’s… ]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Podori, about to respond, suddenly hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Po-po-po. This is the result of my love for… No, not that!

Flamie felt too embarrassed at the thought of Sejun finding out, heating up its body, but to Podori, it seemed like a threat of death if it revealed the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Podori quickly changed its answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The Black Tower’s administrator says she will kill you for flirting with to Sejun!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the Black Tower’s administrator threatened to kill Podori.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[No, Miss Aileen! You misunderstand!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Podori hurriedly responded to Aileen and had to change its response again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Why only me…? What did I do wrong?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, unbeknownst to Sejun, Podori faced death threats from two beings, causing stress that wilted about five of its grape clusters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Podori, are you sick? Why are the grapes wilting all of a sudden?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun, using his skill Farmer’s Warm Touch, stroked Podori, bringing it comfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Indeed, the only one I can trust here is Sejun!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both beings would succumb to Sejun, so the only entity Podori could rely on to protect it from these fearsome beings was Sejun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Podori regained its peace of mind, the wilted grape clusters began to revive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re better now. Podori, I’m going to harvest the grapes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yes! Take as many as you like!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Podori, now on Sejun’s side, cooperated enthusiastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pluck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Sejun had Podori’s permission and plucked a cluster of grapes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You have harvested 1 cluster of Vitality-Infused Fragrant Grapes (23 grapes).]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Your job experience has increased slightly.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Your proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 7 has slightly increased.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You have gained 1,610 Experience Points.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The harvest messages appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fragrant?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The harvested grapes had ‘Fragrant’ as an added descriptor.

The 101st entrance? …Guys, let’s eat grapes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the increase in entrances had nothing to do with him, Sejun drooled as he offered the grapes to the animals, who had been patiently waiting for him to harvest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was impressive they had waited without giving in to the tempting scent of the delicious grapes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our Cuengi waited well too. Here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Cuengi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuehehehe. Krueng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Hehehe. It’s delicious!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Cuengi received the grapes from Sejun and put them in his mouth, he couldn’t help but laugh with joy at the delicious taste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it that tasty?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Krueng! Krueng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yes! It’s really delicious!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cuengi vigorously nodded in response to Sejun’s question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pat, pat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here, have some more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charmed by Cuengi’s cuteness, Sejun stroked his head and handed him another bunch of grapes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After distributing grapes to the animals,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I should check the options first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun closely examined the grapes before eating them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Vitality-Infused Fragrant Grapes]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>→ These are top-quality grapes grown inside the tower, produced by a grapevine that absorbed tremendous nutrients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>→ They have a very good taste, and the fragrant aroma of the grapes spreads far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>→ The scent of the fragrant grapes can attract monsters that like the smell of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>→ If turned into wine, the aroma will spread even further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Top-grade grapes with excellent taste and aroma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can attract monsters that like the smell of blood?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite one concerning detail,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let them come.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun bravely declared. This was the 99th floor of the Black Tower, home to the mightiest. Any that followed the smell of blood would soon see blood themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, I’m not the mightiest…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun muttered to himself, having a moment of realization,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chairman Park, cheer up, meow! I’ll earn a lot of money to make you stronger, meow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo, still misunderstanding that Sejun got stronger by burning money, patted Sejun’s knee to comfort him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh… yeah, thanks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun wondered what earning a lot of money had to do with him getting stronger, but he appreciated Theo’s caring gesture and accepted the comfort without comment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun started eating the grapes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were delicious before, but this time the grapes were even sweeter and richer in flavor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yum, yum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow! They’re so delicious!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun devoured an entire cluster of grapes while standing there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt sharp stares at the back of his head. Eating alone, huh?! The animals were intensely looking at Sejun, implying they wanted to join in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here you go. Enjoy your breakfast.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Animals holding plates gathered in front of Sejun harvesting grapes from Podori’s branches. Rabbits took two clusters, monkeys five, and Cuengi and Pink-fur each received a thousand clusters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sharing about half of the grapes from the vine with the animals,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I should eat some more too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Sejun was about to sit down and eat more grapes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Krueng?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[When do we eat breakfast, Dad?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cuengi, having eaten the grapes, asked Sejun. For Cuengi, a thousand clusters of grapes were just an appetizer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just a moment. Crop Gigantification.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun used the Crop Gigantification skill on the remaining grapes in front of Cuengi, enlarging a grape to the size of a baseball. About a hundred clusters should be enough, right? Sejun used the skill on a hundred clusters for Cuengi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when he enlarged the last, the 100th grape cluster,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Your proficiency in Crop Gigantification Lv. 4 slightly increases.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Your proficiency in Crop Gigantification Lv. 4 is filled, and the level increases.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skill level of Crop Gigantification increased to 5. It was all thanks to Cuengi. After all, he almost exclusively used the Crop Gigantification skill for Cuengi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here, now you can eat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun gave the enlarged grapes to Cuengi and also ate some himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spit, spit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He removed the grape seeds as he ate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I plant these, I’ll become a grape tycoon in no time. Hehehe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun laughed as he looked at the grape seeds collected in his hand. He had also asked the other animals to collect seeds, so he expected to gather quite a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Time to wrap up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun stood up to finish harvesting the remaining grapes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the 55th floor of the Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ppyak!
