Chapter 381: Cuengi is Now Unsealed!
TL: Hanguk
Texas, USA.
“Oh! Found it.”
A hunter discovered plants that had grown to about the middle of his shin, bearing excessively large red fruits compared to their stems.
Slice.
Without hesitation, he cut the part connected to the red fruits with his sword.
Thud. Thud.
He then stomped on the fallen fruits, crushing them.
Then,
[You have defeated a Young Flesh Eater.] [You have gained 300 experience points.]
…
..
.
[You have leveled up.]
[You have gained 2 bonus stats.]
Messages appeared.
“Heh heh. This is my second level up today, leveling up is really easy.”
The hunter laughed as he moved to find another Flesh Eater.
Meanwhile, the seeds inside the crushed red fruits began to take root in the ground.
***
[You have arrived at the 80th floor of the Black Tower.]
[You have moved from the 99th floor, the topmost floor, to the 80th floor.]
[You have descended 19 floors.]
[All stats increased by 19 due to the effect of <Title: Retrogressor>.]
Sejun arrived at the 80th floor of the Black Tower.
What kind of farm is this?
As Sejun hurriedly tried to determine if there were any threats to his life nearby,
Clank.
“Chairman Park! I missed you, meow!”
Theo opened the void storage and leapt towards Sejun’s face. Hey! It hasn’t even been 30 seconds since we seprated from each other!
Sejun moved as quickly as possible to dodge Theo’s charge, but
Smack.
It was all in vain; he was caught in Theo’s pink jelly paw. Indeed, escaping Theo’s clutches was impossible.
“Puhuhut… meow…”
As Sejun grabbed Theo by the scruff of his neck to pull him off his face as Theo was smiling victoriously,
Kueng!
[Cuengi wants to cling to Daddy’s face too!]
Kking!
‘Catch me!’
Following Theo, Cuengi and Fenrir also jumped out from the void storage, launching themselves towards Sejun’s face.
Smack.
Smack.
As a result, Sejun wrestled with the kids for a while before he could figure out what kind of farm this was.
Fruits with yellow stripes scattered on the ground.
“Oh! These are korean melons?”
It was a korean melon farm.
Sejun excitedly picked one korean melon,
[You have harvested a Korean Melon.]
[Your job experience has slightly increased.]
[Your proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 8 has slightly increased.]
[You have gained 1 experience point.]
Messages appeared. Judging by the lack of modifiers and experience points, it wasn’t an item.
“Hehehe. So what?”
Sejun wiped the melon clean with his clothes,
Crunch.
He removed only the stem and took a big bite of the melon with its skin.
Oh! It’s delicious! 𝐟r𝚠eno𝘃𝐥.c𝗼m
The skin wasn’t tough, adding a crisp texture, the flesh part was slightly sweet with a crunchy texture, and the part with the seeds inside was sweet like sugar.
As Sejun enjoyed the melon alone, exuding a sweet fragrance,
Kueng!
[Daddy, Cuengi wants to eat too!]
Kking!
‘Give me some too!’
“Me too…”
Cuengi, Fenrir, and Uren looked at Sejun with drooling mouths and earnest eyes.
“Ahem. I wasn’t trying to eat it alone… I was just checking if it was poisonous first.”
Sejun made a lame excuse out of embarrassment, but
Kueng!
[Cuengi will check from now on because he is strong!]
Cuengi, being a filial son, said he would check first from now on, looking concerned for Sejun.
Kueng!
[Weak Daddy might die from eating it!]
Hitting him with facts.
“Here. Eat.”
Hit by the facts, Sejun, with a hurting heart, cut the korean melon and gave it to the three.
A little while later,
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. It’s delicious!]
Kihihi. Kking. Kking!
‘Hehehe. I’m full. Hey! Rub my belly!’
“Uhehe. It’s delicious.”
The three laughed contentedly after eating 100 melons.
To be precise, Cuengi ate 50, Uren ate 49.75, and Fenrir ate 0.25.
“But why isn’t the quest appearing?”
There was nothing unusual about the farm, nor were there any creatures occupying it, but the land deed quest did not appear.
As Sejun was feeling puzzled,
[A quest has been generated.]
[Quest: The korean melons, which have been ruthlessly killed and unable to grow properly, seek revenge for their fallen comrades. Capture the korean melon thief.]
Reward: Recognition as the rightful owner of the land deed
The land deed quest appeared.
Melon thief?
“Hehe. It’s time for Detective Sherlock Sejun to step in.”
“Puhuhut. Then Assistant Theoson of Detective Sherlock Sejun will also step in, meow!”
Kueng!
[There’s also Detective Cu-nan, colleague of Detective Sherlock Sejun!]
Theo and Cuengi quickly brought out their alter egos at Sejun’s words.
“Culprits always return to the scene of the crime. You guys harvest melons and guard this place.”
Piyo!
[Yes!]
“Yes!”
Sejun had Piyot and Uren guard the melon farm.
“Toryong!”
-Yes, Master.
He called Toryong, intending to search for Fenrir’s core fragment along the way.
“Let’s go!”
Sejun and his party set out to find Fenrir’s core fragment and the melon thief.
Crunch. Crunch.
Kuehehehe.
Kihihit.
Cuengi, Fenrir, and Sejun were eating the harvested melons on top of Toryong’s head. It felt like a picnic.
“Toryong, do you want some melon too?”
Sejun wanted to give some delicious food to the hard-working Toryong, but
-Master, I find soil the most delicious.
To Toryong, who lived off eating soil, melons were not appetizing.
Rumble.
Toryong moved in a spiral trajectory centered around the farm, gradually getting farther away from it.
After traveling for a while,
[…north]
The message appeared and then stopped.
“Toryong, reverse!”
Sejun quickly called Toryong back to the previous location.
[A fragment of Fenrir’s core has been detected 20km north.]
He detected the signal of Fenrir’s core fragment.
“Great! Toryong, run north!”
-Yes, Master.
Kwakwakwang!
Following Sejun’s command, Toryong sprinted north at full speed.
And then,
Roar!
[Black Giant Bear Rak, ruler of the Orin Mountain]
They found Rak, a massive black bear 20 meters tall, with a black orb emitting red mist embedded in its forehead.
Kyaak!
And roe deers that were at risk of being eaten by Rak.
‘Should I call Ajax?’
As Sejun was contemplating whether to summon Ajax,
Kueng!
[Cuengi will show the results of his special training!]
Cuengi stepped forward confidently.
Kueng!
[Dad, shout ‘Unseal’ to Cuengi!]
“Huh? Unseal? Cuengi doesn’t have a seal though?”
Kueng!
[Just shout it anyway!]
It seemed Cuengi was envious that only Ajax had been unsealed.
“Alright. Cuengi, unseal.”
When Sejun said it,
Kueng!
[Cuengi is now unsealed!]
Bam!
Cuengi kicked the ground hard and charged toward Rak.
As Cuengi flew toward Rak, his body grew massive, and he reverted his weight, which he had lightened with his Talent: Light Body Movement.
In an instant, Cuengi’s height grew to 70 meters, and his weight increased by 1000 times.
Kwaaaang!!!
Kwueoeong!
Rak, struck squarely in the face by Cuengi’s gigantic paw, bigger than Rak’s head, tumbled and rolled several times, trying to find balance to stable itself before falling collapsing.
Kueeeng!
Cuengi roared at the fallen Rak and quickly ran towards it,
Kwaaaang!
Headbutting Rak’s face.
“Ouch…”
That must hurt… Sejun felt pity for Rak being crushed under Cuengi’s massive body. Cuengi’s headbutt was that powerful.
Bam! Kwakwang!
Cuengi then relentlessly punched Rak’s face without stopping.
The battle between the Crimson Giant Honey Bear and the Black Giant Bear. No, it was a one-sided beating by Cuengi. Seeing this Sejun’s heart swelled with pride.
A moment later,
Kwueoeo···
Kueng!
[I won!]
Cuengi roared victoriously, holding Fenrir’s core fragment in his front paw, which he had taken from the forehead of the unconscious Rak.
Then,
Thud. Thud.
Cuengi approached Sejun.
Kueng!
[Dad, Cuengi won because he unsealed!]
With eyes full of expectation, Cuengi boasted his victory to Sejun, wanting to be praised.
“Hehe. Our Cuengi did very well. I’ll give you a five-star stamp!” (TL: Well, it might not be the case in other countries, but in South Korea, children are given stamps for excellent work/performance, which is what Sejun is doing here.)
Sejun gave Cuengi the highest praise.
Kueng!
[I’m excited!]
Cuengi beamed with a wide smile, thinking about receiving the five-star stamp.
“Hehe, cute little guy.”
Sejun smiled at Cuengi. Despite being a gigantic bear of 70 meters, Cuengi only seemed cute to Sejun.
[Your soul is filled with the sight of great cuteness.]
[Mental Strength has increased by 10.]
Sejun’s thoughts were proven true as his Mental Strength increased, and by 10 points no less.
“Now, let’s shrink back.”
Though he found Cuengi adorable, constantly looking up was straining his neck.
Kueng!
[Dad has to say ‘Seal’!]
It seemed Cuengi wanted to maintain the seal concept from now on. Sure, if my son wants it, I’ll go along with it.
“Seal.”
As Sejun spoke,
Kueng!
Cuengi began to shrink back.
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Dad, here it is!]
Cuengi, now small again, held out his front paw with Fenrir’s core fragment to Sejun.
At that moment,
Kking!
‘My core!’
Fenrir jumped from the sling bag, aiming for the core fragment.
But,
Grab.
Kking?
‘Huh?’
Sejun caught Fenrir and put him back into the sling bag. Fenrir was too slow to get the core fragment.
“Blackie, no. This is forbidden.”
Sejun teased Fenrir, calling it forbidden right in front of the core’s rightful owner… Luckily, Fenrir didn’t understand.
Preventing Fenrir from taking the core, Sejun picked up the core fragment.
Then,
[You have obtained a fragment of the door leading to the 10th Tower.]
With the message, a brown wooden piece the size of a fist separated from the core fragment. He had obtained the third piece of the door to the 10th Tower.
“Oh. It’s a 0.07% one?”
Sejun’s voice was slightly surprised as he confirmed the power contained in Fenrir’s core fragment.
Ajax struggled with a 0.1% one… and Cuengi crushed a 0.07% one. Our Cuengi has gotten much stronger.
It seemed the special training with the Minotaur King was very effective.
Should I get special training from the Minotaur King too?
Sejun thought about getting special training from the Minotaur King himself and put the core fragment into the void storage.
“But why do my legs feel empty?”
Feeling something was missing, Sejun looked at his knee and saw that Theo was not there. Where did he go?
As Sejun was looking for Theo,
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I’ve found slaves to work on the farm, meow!”
Theo appeared, excitedly waving slave contracts.
It turned out he had gone to get hoofprints from the deer.
At that moment,
[You have turned all korean melon thieves into slaves.]
[Quest completed.]
[You have been recognized as the rightful owner of the korean melon farm land deed on the 80th floor of the Black Tower.]
[Land Deed Skill: Farm Information Lv. Max is now activated.]
A message indicating the completion of the quest appeared.
“Oh, so these guys were the korean melon thieves.”
Thanks to the message, Sejun realized that the deer were the korean melon thieves.
“Hehe. In the end, Detective Sherlock Sejun has solved the cold case.”
Although Theo and Cuengi did the work, Sejun took the credit.
Thus, Sejun managed to handle two tasks at once.
“Let’s head back.”
Kyaak!
The deer responded to Sejun’s words,
Kwueoeong!
Even Rak, who had been unconscious, responded as he woke up. Theo had gotten Rak’s print on the slave contract while he was unconscious, making him a slave. Theo was truly diligent and thorough when it came to making slaves.
After returning to the farm, Sejun had the slaves manage the farm.
“Let’s go home.”
Sejun, taking the harvested melons from Piyot and Uren, returned to the 99th floor of the tower.
And then,
[You have arrived at the 99th floor of the Black Tower.]
As soon as Sejun arrived on the 99th floor,
-Sejun-ah!
Ramter, who had been eagerly waiting at the waypoint, called out desperately for Sejun.
