That’s why he brought his strong companions along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then, let’s cut.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun and Ajax, who needed to raise their farming skills, harvested the screaming pineapples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ppyak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kueng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Rabbit and Cuengi pressed down on the harvested pineapples to prevent them from screaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the ‘Suppressed Screaming Pineapple’ harvested in pairs were piled up in one corner of the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the harvest,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Should we try one?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun grabbed a pineapple and cut it in half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Screeeeech!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The screaming pineapple let out a scream accompanied by a shockwave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh. My ears are ringing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is there a way to eat this quietly? It tastes good, but it was too noisy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he suggested to the black rabbit, Cuengi, and Ajax that he would give them a golden spoon as a reward if they could find a way to eat quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they gave the golden spoon to Sejun, they could ask him to make any dish they wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then, go and research it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun told the three and went to harvest ordinary pineapples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Sejun was harvesting pineapples,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hyung! I found it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ajax came to Sejun and cut a pineapple with a silence magic spell on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pineapple split quietly without any noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shockwave remained the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The shockwave is still there, so it’s a fail.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Euing…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Disappointed from failing, Ajax turned back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ppyak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Uncle, I found a way too!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Rabbit came running confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, after digging deep into the ground and burying the pineapple,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ppop!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He struck the ground with a hammer. It was an advanced technique that precisely manipulated magic to impact only the pineapple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gugung.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impacted pineapple exploded, causing the ground to tremble slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the trembling ceased, Black Rabbit dug into the ground and emerged with the pineapple split in half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a bit of vibration and the method was quite cumbersome, but it was relatively quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s put it on hold for now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, they decided to see Cuengi’s method before making a final decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kueng! Kueng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dad, Cuengi won! The golden spoon is Cuengi’s!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cuengi, looking confident, handed Sejun the pineapple he held in his front paws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? The name is different?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pineapple Cuengi held had a different name from the others. Just from the name, it was clear what Cuengi had done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘He just suppressed it with strength until it quieted down.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, it was effective as the name changed from ‘screaming’ to ‘became delicious.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun checked the options of the pineapple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>→ A pineapple grown inside the tower that has absorbed plenty of nutrients and is tasty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>→ The magic power that failed to explode three times lost its explosive nature and was absorbed into the pineapple’s flesh, making it tastier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>→ Consuming it increases magic power by 5.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>→ There is a low chance of awakening the talent: Endure Three Times upon consumption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only express his amazement. So, it was possible… The screams had been sublimated into taste, stats, and talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cuengi, you pass.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun handed the golden spoon to Cuengi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuehehehe. Kueng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Hehehe. Cuengi wants to eat a bellyful of rice noodles!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cuengi immediately handed the golden spoon to Sejun, asking for the food he wanted to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You… want to eat rice noodles until you are full?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun stuttered at Cuengi’s request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘How much do I need to make if Cuengi wants to eat his fill?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cuengi’s eating quantity had decreased recently, but it was definitely not because he was full. He was restraining himself because he knew Sejun would struggle if he ate a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was hard to imagine how much he could eat if he said he wanted to eat his fill. And didn’t he see Cuengi recently drinking an entire lake of milk?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he understood. How much Cuengi must have wanted to eat his fill if he used the golden spoon as soon as he got it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cuengi, just trust Daddy! You don’t need to do anything today. Just eat!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If my son wants to eat, I can at least do that much!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, it was a soup dish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun, with a determined expression, took out the Relic: Wealth-devouring Rice Dough and filled a giant black pot with rice flour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Filling the black pot used up 10 million tower coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ajax, seal release!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun released Ajax’s seal. The giant dough needed giant strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ajax, knead it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay! Hyung!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun instructed Ajax to knead the rice noodle dough and started preparing a large volume of broth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hang in there! We’re almost at the 40th floor!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Crying Skeleton Gang, led by Gang Leader Koto, responded energetically, working hard to climb the tower for the great task of overthrowing the bone rank caste system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, for the six from the lower floors, climbing to the 76th floor of the tower was a very difficult and dangerous journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The path was treacherous and filled with dangerous monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was something even more challenging than the monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, we don’t have money to use the merchant passageway!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was money. A considerable sum was needed to use the fast and safe merchant passageway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, they were not registered with the Merchants Association, so the fee was higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, the money that the King of Farming had prepared to give to Sejun was substantial, so the Crying Skeleton Gang, who had stolen it, should have had plenty of money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Crying Skeleton Gang ended up being robbed of all their money by other bandits along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘If it was going to be stolen like this, why did they take my money?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When his money went to other bandits, the King of Farming really wanted to cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the Crying Skeleton Gang became penniless. Perhaps due to their name, sad occurrences seemed to happen frequently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We have no choice. Prepare for business!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they were in the same trade, the bandits didn’t take their weapons, so they could still do business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiding their bodies and starting their main business of banditry, the Crying Skeleton Gang waited for someone to pass by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a Black Orc passed in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, should we strike?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As mentioned earlier, this area was dangerous for lower floor creatures because of the many dangerous monsters. They waited a long time for an easy target to appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ppyak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Uncle, over here!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Rabbit had gone into the water to catch seafood to use for the broth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black rabbit easily caught eels, octopus, squid, crabs, etc. as if scooping them up from a fish farm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And all of these were creatures that had lived in the Dimensional Sea for over a thousand years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun was able to obtain good quality seafood thanks to Flamie, who had herded the sea monsters towards the pond upon hearing that Sejun wanted seafood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crunch. Crunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the Amplifying Greatsword, Sejun prepared a large crab and made a crab shell pot, filling it with water to boil and adding other seafood and vegetables to make the broth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, there were enough crabs to make as many as ten crab shell pots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the broth preparation was complete,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ajax!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun called Ajax, who was far away preparing the dough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay. Well done. Ajax, seal!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having confirmed that the rice noodle dough was properly made, Sejun sealed Ajax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Press!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay! Hyung!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rice noodle dough was placed in the black noodle press and pressed to extrude the noodles. The noodles quickly cooked as they entered the boiling broth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearly 100 servings of rice noodles went into the crab shell pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slurp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Cuengi, 100 servings of rice noodles were just one bite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ajax, press!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun quickly filled the remaining nine crab shell pots with rice noodles, and Cuengi followed, eating the noodles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a new concept for a noodle restaurant, where the noodles stayed still and Cuengi moved around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun and Black Rabbit adjusted the seasoning of the broth, adding more water, seafood, and vegetables as needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to that, Cuengi was able to enjoy delicious rice noodles until the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Cuengi had precisely made 39 rounds,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuehehehe… Kueng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Hehehe… Cuengi is really full.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cuengi patted his stomach and wore a satisfied expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good work…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ppyak…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah… you too, hyung…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After making 39,000 servings of noodles and exhausting themselves completely, Sejun, Black Rabbit, and Ajax collapsed on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I can’t do this a second time.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Sejun was thinking about sealing the golden spoon for a while,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“44th floor?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 44th floor was where Sejun had registered a waypoint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe it’s time to go see the penguins again?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun said in an excited voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was the 44th floor, which was about the middle of the tower, Theo might be nearby and could come looking for him, or he might go to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Toryong!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun rode Toryong and moved to the waypoint with his companions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Tower 40th floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Just the right prey.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting for hours for an easy target, Koto grinned upon seeing a yellow cat, a pink pig, and a fist-sized white bird approaching from a distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perfect!
