Reward: 15 Drops of Harvest Elixir

What kind of quest is this, to make dragons who can easily drink regular Samyangju drink the Golden Samyangju?

“If you just give it to them, they’ll drink it well on their own. Hehehe.”

The quest was so easy, but the reward was so good that Sejun couldn’t help but laugh.

Moreover, the leaders of the Nine Dragon Clans were all gathering soon, so there was no need to go out of his way. It was as good as done.

“But what’s the option that requires it to be given to the leaders?”

Sejun checked the options of the Golden Samyangju.

[Golden Samyangju]

→ This is a liquor brewed three times using golden rice as an ingredient.

→ It has a high alcohol content.

→ When consumed, it activates a powerful anti-curse effect.

→ If your mental strength is weak, it can cause extrdrunkenness.

→ It has a sweet aroma and deep flavor.

→ Chef: Tower Farmer Park Sejun of the Black Tower

→ Shelf Life: 100 years

→ Grade: SSS

It’s not meant to make the dragons drunk… And the dragons wouldn’t have weak mental strength, so they wouldn’t get drunk from it.

Then…

“Anti-curse?”

Are they all cursed or something?

Of course, it didn’t make sense for such incredibly strong dragons to be cursed, but this was the most likely scenario.

And Sejun’s guess was correct.

The dragons were under the Curse of Forgetfulness.

Samyangju made from the Relic: Wealth-devouring Rice Dough could only temporarily lift the Curse of Forgetfulness, not permanently.

This was why the dragons were so obsessed with Samyangju. While the taste was one reason, they mainly drank it to lift the curse.

Of course, there were dragons who drank it just for the taste.

– Kahahaha. Drink up!

– Uhahaha. Sejun’s liquor is the best!

– The snacks are the best too. Hehe. Eat this spicy Cheongyang chili pepper… then drink a glass of Samyangju… Keu, it’s amazing!

– Dahahaha. I heard our Sejun is making a new liquor, I’m already looking forward to the Dragon Meeting.

As usual, Kaiser, Kellion, Ramter, and Tier were talking while drinking near the fountain.

At that moment,

– Ramter, but… our Purple Dragon seems to be bringing around fifteen hundred…

Tier cautiously brought up the topic.

– What?! No way. I clearly said a thousand.

Ramter rejected it firmly.

– I know. I do. But the hatchlings spread rumors that there would be delicious food at the Dragon Meeting. So our Pobi went around telling everyone, and other dragons found out…

– Nonsense! How would the hatchlings know about that?!

– Ahem. Sorry. It seems my granddaughter wanted to help Sejun and told the other hatchlings.

– What?!

At Kaiser’s words, Ramter was speechless.

All the hatchlings of other dragon clans knew about it?! Then the other dragon clans would bring at least a thousand too…

Ramter was furious at Aileen, who caused this trouble.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt

However, he couldn’t do anything about it. Aileen was only 200 years old, a young dragon, but she was the administrator of the Black Tower.

Shouting at Aileen and getting kicked out of the Black Tower would mean losing any route to meet Sejun again.

– I’ll first ask Sejun if he can increase the amount of food and then decide.

– Since it’s because of us, let’s go together.

And so, the four went to find Sejun.

“Hehehehe… Guys, chere. I’ll give you a kiss.”

“Meow! No way, meow!”

Kueng!

[Daddy’s breath smells bad!]

Kking?!

‘How dare you try to put saliva on the noble wolf Fenrir, 1st seat of the Apostle of Destruction! What are you doing?!’

What they saw was Sejun, lips puckered, trying to kiss Theo, Cuengi, and Fenrir, who were squirming in his grasp.

Of course, the strong Theo and Cuengi pushed Sejun’s face away with their paws, leaving Fenrir, who was weaker, to receive Sejun’s kisses.

Sejun had drunk a glass of Golden Samyangju to taste it before going to bed, intending to fall asleep immediately.

Sejun’s drunken habit was to fall asleep. It didn’t matter if he got extremely drunk.

However, the extrdrunkenness status effect was a bit different from what Sejun expected. The drunken habit would activate randomly.

This is the chance!

The dragons realized that now, with Sejun drunk, was their chance. They quickly stated their business.

“Alright then… Let’s make it 20,000.”

As expected, Sejun readily agreed.

But,

“In return, you have to receive my kisses. Hehehehe.”

-…

A big hurdle awaited them in the form of Sejun’s kisses.

‘Should we just knock him out and claim he agreed?’

‘Should we?’

‘Ramter, you just close your eyes and take it for the team.’

‘Are you crazy?!’

While the dragons’ opinions were leaning towards knocking Sejun out and claiming he agreed,

“Great dragons, what if Aileen noona kisses Chairman Park instead, meow!”

Theo suggested a solution.

-Aileen?

-Oh. That would work.

-What?! Aileen Kissing?! Over my dead body!

Other dragons thought it was a good idea, but Kaiser was vehemently opposed, getting highly agitated.

My cute, pretty, and beautiful granddaughter kissing?! Even if I acknowledge Sejun, this old man is not ready… it’s too soon by 100,000 years!

By 100,000 years, Sejun would already be dead, but Kaiser couldn’t even imagine his granddaughter kissing another man.

They had already kissed once before, but Kaiser didn’t know about that.

Despite Kaiser’s strong opposition,

[The tower’s administrator says it is an excellent idea and praises Theo as Sejun’s right-hand man.]

“Puhuhut. That’s right, meow! I, Theo, am Chairman Park’s excellent right-hand man, meow!”

[The tower’s administrator says she will be brushing her teeth, so Theo should prepare to activate the Absolute Protection engraved on Kai-ra’s necklace.]

“Understood, meow!”

Aileen and Theo were already preparing.

“Khehehe. Kissing Sejun is a rare opportunity!”

And then,

-Ahem. Should we step aside?

-Yeah. It’s a bit awkward with old folks around.

-You punks! Over my dead body…

-Hold him down!

The dragons dragged Kaiser away.

They had recorded Sejun’s words that he would increase the number of dragons invited to the dragon meeting to 20,000 if he just got a kiss.

After a while,

“Aileen noona, I’ve activated Absolute Protection, meow!”

When Theo finished preparing,

“Sejun, I missed you!”

Aileen appeared before Sejun.

“Aileen?”

“Yes, it’s me!”

“Oh! Aileen! Hehehe. Let’s kiss!”

“Okay!”

Sejun, smiling foolishly, puckered his lips towards Aileen, who quietly closed her eyes and leaned in with her own lips.

Smooch.

Although their lips remained pressed together for quite a while, Sejun did not pass out. Or maybe one second felt like an eternity.

It was sad to say, but it was normal for Sejun to pass out as soon as they kissed.

Although Sejun had becstronger, Aileen had grown even more during that time.

However,

“Meow! I can’t believe it, meow! Chairman Park lasting for 10 seconds, meow!”

Hearing Theo’s words, that didn’t seem to be the case.

‘My Sejun held out for 10 seconds?!’

Aileen quickly opened her eyes upon hearing Theo’s words.

Then she saw Sejun’s handsface, eyes closed. Since he was still standing, he hadn’t passed out.

At that moment,

Swish.

Sejun’s eyes opened as he felt Aileen’s gaze.

And then,

“Aileen…”

Thud.

Sejun collapsed, nose bleeding. 12 seconds was Sejun’s limit. Still, it was a remarkable improvement.

Thanks to the fragment of Fenrir’s core absorbed into Sejun’s body.

However,

Kkihihit. Kking!

‘Heheh. Tastes good!’

The only being who could explain this, Fenrir, was safely enjoying dried sweet potato slices inside the Void Storage.

“Theo, please take care of Sejun!”

“Aileen noona, got it, meow!”

Aileen quickly moved to the administrator’s area to avoid causing any trouble for Sejun, entrusting him to Theo.

“Khehehe. I spent 12 whole seconds with Sejun without him passing out!”

While Aileen was delighted about spending the longest twith an awake Sejun,

“Hehehe.”

Sejun was dreaming happily about going on a picnic with Aileen, Theo, Cuengi, and Fenrir.

And then,

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, leave it to me, meow! I, Vice Chairman Theo, will surely fix Chairman Park’s ugly face, meow!”

Squish. Squish.

Theo pressed his paws on Sejun’s face, kneading it earnestly.

Whenever Theo saw Aileen’s face and then Sejun’s face, he always felt a surge of determination.

***

Black Tower, 75th floor.

Wandering Merchants Association Chairman’s Office.

“A new candidate for the Legendary Merchant title has appeared after a long time!”

Mason, the chairman of the Wandering Merchants Association, said joyfully while looking at the documents that had just arrived.

[List of Legendary Merchant Promotion Candidates]

Elite Wandering Merchant Theo

Theo had finally met the requirements for the Legendary Merchant promotion by earning over 10 trillion Tower Coins.

“I need to notify him to take the promotion exam.”

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

Mason wrote a letter summoning Theo for the Legendary Merchant promotion exam and sent it via a messenger bird.

And then,

Piyo!

[I’ll deliver that letter!]

Piyot, who happened to have business on the 75th floor of the tower and had a messenger bird license, took the letter addressed to Theo.

Since Theo couldn’t leave the 99th floor of the Tower to help the busy Sejun, Piyot had been collecting money with Uren won behalf of Theo.

Of course, the fee was split 50-50.

Since Piyot wasn’t skilled enough to receive money as excellently(?) as Theo yet, so it was gaining experience by collecting small amounts under 10,000 Tower Coins.

‘Piyihihi. I’ll work hard to becthe excellent right front paw of Theo-nim!’

Piyo!

[Uren-nim, let’s go see Theo-nim!]

“Okay!”

And so, Piyot, the right front paw, and Uren, the left front paw of Theo, headed to the 99th floor of the Tower.

Piyo!

[Run away!]

Piyo!

[Uren-nim, that’s not the way!]

Piyo!

[Stamp it!]

Of course, thanks to Uren’s misfortune, the journey to the 99th floor was tough.

***

The next morning.

“What!? Did I really say to invite 20,000 dragons?”

-Yes. Pwahahaha. You definitely said so. You said if you got a kiss, you’d increase the number to 20,000.

“A kiss?”

Sejun was bewildered by Ramter’s words as soon as he woke up. Did I really say that?

I definitely drank Golden Samyangju before bed… and I didn’t sleep?

Although there were gaps in his memory, he did recall bits and pieces, including the kiss with Aileen.

Thinking about the kiss with Aileen made Sejun’s face flush red.

“Ahem. Alright, I understand.”

-Pwahaha. Great. Thank you. Then I’ll leave it to you. Refresh.

Feeling a bit sorry, Ramter used a healing spell on Sejun and returned to the fountain.

“Well, I guess I’ll have to change my plans a bit.”

Sejun had originally planned to make fried fish with the fish.

As the amount he had to make doubled, he hurriedly changed the menu to spicy fish stew.

When increasing the amount, soup is the best.

“Hyung! Good morning!”

Sejun, along with Cuengi and Ajax, harvested the Sundried Red Peppers.

[You have harvested Sundried Red Peppers.]

[Your job experience has increased slightly.]

[Your proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 8 has increased slightly.]

[You have gained 70 experience points.]

···

..

.

While Sejun was harvesting the Sundried Red Peppers,

···i···

A small sprout emerged from the ground from the Sausage Tree seed.

And then,

[Huhut. Sausage, you’ve woken up? Here. Eat this. It’s a sapling nutrient.]

Sparkie, who had been waiting for the Sausage Tree seed to sprout, handed over a tiny nutrient supplement.

Sparkie was starting early education to beca World Tree.
