Kwoooong!

When Cuengis cry hadnt stopped for a long time,

Koeong?

Feeling that something was amiss, Mother Crimson Giant Bear i.e. Pink-fur, quickly rushed over. Something had definitely happened. Normally, Sejun would calm Cuengi down, and Cuengi would soon stop crying.

Koeong!

As Pink-fur arrived where Cuengis crying was coming from,

Kwoooong!

Sejun was nowhere to be found, and Cuengi was crying fiercely.

Squeak!

Kkwek!

Rabbits and mushroom ants nearby tried to calm Cuengi down, but they couldnt approach recklessly because Cuengi was moving violently while crying.

Koeong?

Pink-fur asked Cuengi, while stroking him to stop his crying, what the reason was. Why are you crying?

Kwooong! Kwoeong!

[Dad has gone alone to the 77th floor of the tower! He might be getting beaten up by bad guys!]

Cradled by Pink-fur, Cuengi answered, crying even more sorrowfully and fiercely.

Koeong?!

Pink-fur was taken aback by Cuengis words. The situation was serious.

Then,

-What?! Where did Sejun go?

Kaiser, who had been in a good mood after being treated to a full course of sweet potato dishes, including roasted sweet potatoes, sweet potato soup, and sweet potato baekseolgi (rice cake), as a thank you for defeating the fire ants, asked in astonishment.

KwooKwoeong!

Cuengi explained to Kaiser how Sejun had disappeared. Since the dragon grandfather was scary, Cuengi held back tears and explained as clearly as possible.

-He disappeared when he opened the land deed? That idiot just opened it?!

Kaiser shouted angrily at Cuengis explanation.

Kreong

[It might have opened by itself when Dad caught it]

Cuengi spoke in an uncertain voice, defending his dad.

But it was absurd. The land deed item, without an owner, was locked to prevent accidental activation at any time, as it would recognize the first person who opened it as its owner.

Unless forcibly opened, the land deed would not open. Sejun had carelessly opened the land deed without even reading the instructions.

-Ahem then what about my sweet potato soup from now on?

Kellion, who had liked the sweet potato soup, spoke in a sullen voice.

-Is the soup the problem right now?!

Kaiser yelled at Kellion for worrying about the soup. He was utterly tactless. The problem was not the soup, but the roasted sweet pota no, Aileen. It was Aileen that was the problem.

-Grandfather! Find Sejun quickly!

As expected, Aileen immediately pressed Kaiser upon hearing that Sejun had disappeared.

-Aileen, wait a moment. Since he disappeared all of a sudden Everyone, gather around me!

Kaiser quickly called all the monsters from the farm to rescue Sejun, who had been transported to the 77th floor of the tower.

Due to the sudden disappearance of Sejun, the 99th floor of the tower was in a complete state of emergency.

***

[You have arrived at the 77th floor farm.]

Is this the farm?

Around him, there were nothing but hundreds of withered, dying trees.

There are no monsters, right?

This was the first time Sejun had come to another floor without any animals. Suddenly finding himself alone in a remote place, he looked around with anxious eyes. Fortunately, he didnt see any monsters in sight.

Then,

Thump.

Something touched Sejuns back.

Eeek!!

Startled, Sejun ran without looking back and hid behind a nearby withered tree nearby.

And then,

What was that?

While searching for the entity that had touched his back,

(Sejun, where are we?)

A voice came from Sejuns back.

Golden Bat?

(Yes! Its me!)

Flap. Flap.

The Golden Bat flew from Sejuns back to the front.

The golden bat, which had been hanging onto Sejuns back, was recognized by the land deed and moved along with Sejuns body, thanks to its small size. They were lucky.

Oh! Its really fortunate! This is the 77th floor of the tower. It seems like only we were transported.

Sejun sighed in relief, looking at the Golden Bat. He was not alone.

(Pip-pip! Since the brothers are not here, I will protect you, Sejun!)

The Golden Bat flew around Sejun with a loud cry.

Thanks to this, Sejun relaxed a bit and looked at the land deed in his hand. Since the land deed had transported him here, he thought that the way back would be on it too.

[77th Floor Farm Land Deed]

This land deed proves ownership of the farm on the 77th floor of the tower.

You can be recognized as the owner of the land deed by going through the engraving process.

It has been over 100 years since the last information update on the land deed.

Owner: None

Grade: A

What?! How do I get back?

He couldnt find a way back, and there was no explanation about the engraving process either.

What am I supposed to do?!

As Sejun frowned at the unhelpful information,

[The 77th Floor Farm Land Deed updates the farms information.]

Update?

A new message appeared.

Then,

Ook! Ook!

There were 100 monkeys surrounding and approaching Sejun, with crude wooden spears and shields. The monkeys encircled and advanced on Sejun.

Hmph. I can handle this much. Bring it on

Gaining confidence from the monkeys poor weaponry, Sejun started to create a thundercloud, ready to fight the monkeys.

Ook!

Suddenly, the monkeys that had climbed up the trees threw a net at Sejun.

(Sejun! Dodge it!)

The golden bat tried to pull Sejun away to dodge the net, but Sejun was too heavy for it.

As a result, they both got caught in the net. If the golden bat had escaped alone, it would have easily avoided it, but it was caught because it was looking out for Sejun.

And then,

Ook!

In an instant, Sejun and the golden bat, surrounded by the monkeys, were tied to a long wooden stick like a rotisserie chicken and began to be transported somewhere by the monkeys.

Then,

[The monkeys are currently illegally occupying the farm.]

[A quest has been generated.]

[Quest: Defeat the monkeys illegally occupying the farm or negotiate and reclaim the land rights.]

Reward: Recognition as the legitimate owner of the land deed.

A belated quest.

You could have told me sooner.

Sejun read the message, hanging upside down on the stick, and sighed.

(Sejun! Dont worry! I can go to Earth soon!)

Really?

Thinking about it, it had been almost a week since the golden bat had been to Earth. If it went to Earth, the rope tying the bat would naturally loosen.

And then the golden bat, returning to the tower, would untie Sejuns ropes, and they could escape. Although they had been caught off guard by the net before, now he planned to show them what he could do.

Alright. Be careful.

(Then Ill be back soon.)

The golden bat disappeared.

Ook? Ook!

The monkey holding the stick, suddenly noticing the golden bats disappearance, quickly reported to a higher-ranking monkey.

However,

Ook. Ook.

[Its fine. We just need this one.]

The higher-ranking monkey said, checking the rope that tied Sejuns arm.

Ook?

[But will the gorillas accept him?]

A subordinate monkey asked, checking the rope that tied Sejuns legs.

Ook. Ook.

[Theyll accept him. He looks somewhat like us.]

Looks like you? Where?!

Sejun was infuriated by the higher-ranking monkeys words.

Ook. Ook.

[It would be good if this one lasts long. More than 100 males have died after marrying the gorilla tribe chiefs daughter.]

What?!! Im being taken to marry a gorilla?! Golden Bat, come back and save me quickly!

Marrying a gorilla? That was not happening. Sejun desperately wished for the golden bat to return quickly.

Ook! Ook!

[We dont have time! Move quickly!]

The higher-ranking monkey quickly moved, urging the other monkeys to move quickly.

***

What, meow?!

Theo, having arrived on the 38th floor of the tower, sensed something strange.

Suddenly, Park Sejuns knee has gotten closer, meow!

It felt good as Sejuns knee got closer, but the knee detector sent a signal that Sejuns knee was in danger.

Something must have happened to President Park, meow!

I must finish the deal and go back quickly, meow!

Theo hurriedly ran towards the camp.

And then,

Humans, Im here, meow! Gather quickly, meow!

Theo hurriedly called the humans together.

However,

Theo, please wait a moment. Everyones hunting on the 40th floor.

The camp was completely empty. As the detoxifying green onions were released, most of the hunters who had conquered the boss of the 38th floor of the tower were now attacking the 40th floor.

Then Ill go to the 40th floor, meow!

Feeling impatient, Theo decided to head to the 40th floor himself.

And a moment later,

Humans, I have arrived, meow!

Theo, who had gathered the hunters, began the auction on the 40th floor.

The first item for sale is the power sweet potato, meow! Ill sell a total of 10,000 pieces, 1,000 at a time, meow!

Wanting to end the auction quickly, Theo doubled the quantity of sweet potatoes he was selling at once.

200,000 tower coins for 1,000!

250,000 tower coins for 1,000!

280,000 tower coins for 1,000!

Bids quickly rose, starting at 200 tower coins each.

SOLD, meow!

10,000 power sweet potatoes were sold at an average of 290 tower coins each.

The next item is 10,000 detoxifying green onions, meow!

Theo hastily began the auction for the next crop. There were many crops to sell.

80,000 tower coins for 1,000!

100,000 tower coins for 1,000!

Although the price of detoxifying green onions had skyrocketed in the last auction due to scarcity, this time the supply was abundant, so the winning bid was lower.

SOLD, meow!

Thanks to this, the average winning bid per unit fell by about 30% compared to the last auction, selling at 105 tower coins each. But it didnt matter. Today was the launch of a new crop.

Todays final product is the power potato, meow!

Theo showed the potatoes to the hunters.

Oh! This increases stomach activity!

So it cures stomach cancer!

What?! A cure for stomach cancer?!

The hunters were excited at the emergence of the new cancer treatment crop. Especially the hunters with family members suffering from stomach cancer hurried to borrow money from those around them.

Then lets begin, meow!

130,000 tower coins for 1,000!

The starting price was higher than that of detoxifying green onions. Even though they were both for cancer, stomach and liver cancers were different. Liver cancer had a higher mortality rate, but there were far more patients with stomach cancer.

The power potato was more desired by cancer patients, therefore it was sold at a higher price than the detoxifying green onions.

180,000 tower coins for 1,000!

Plus, it was the first time a crop treating stomach cancer had been available, so it carried a premium.

SOLD OUT, meow!

So the power potatoes were sold at an average of 197 tower coins each. Total sales of 4.92 million tower coins. Another great achievement doubling the previous total sales, but Theo couldnt be happy.

His knee radar alerted him to Sejuns crisis.

Theo, lets take a picture.

As the trade ended, the hunters approached Theo to take a photo.

However,

Theres no photo time today, meow!

Theo hurriedly turned away from the churu in the hunters hands and refused.

And then,

See you next time, meow!

Theo quickly left for the place where he felt Sejuns knee.

***

Koeong? (Did you pack snacks?)

Pink-fur checked Cuengis luggage for the last time.

Kreong! (I packed them!)

Tap. Tap.

Cuengi answered by patting the snack bag filled with honey.

Koeong? (What about meals?)

Kreong! (Sister Flamie grilled a big fish for me!)

Cuengi showed the huge bag on his back. When Pink-fur opened the bag, it revealed a gigantic tuna, cut into three parts.

Koeong. (Eat sparingly and take care.)

Kreong! (I will definitely find Dad!)

Lick.

Pink-fur licked Cuengis body in farewell. Because Cuengi had insisted so strongly on finding his dad that he had been included in Sejuns rescue team made up of Black Minotaurs.

As Pink-fur was bidding farewell to Cuengi,

-Are you ready?

Kreong!

[Im ready!]

Cuengi answered Kaisers question.

-You can use this to know the direction where Sejun is.

Kaiser gave Cuengi a compass that could detect the insignia of the Mid-level Administrator that Sejun had.

Kreong!

[Then Ill be off!]

Cuengi, carrying a bag much larger than himself, bid farewell with a determined expression and joined the black minotaurs.

Emoo!

As 500 black minotaurs roared to announce their departure,

Kreong!

[I will punish all the bad guys who are are bullying Daddy!]

Cuengi also roared, beginning his long journey to find his dad.
