“Crop Gigantification.”
Sejun used the skill on the roasted sweet potatoes and roasted potatoes made by Veronica, following the fruits.
And
[Your proficiency of Crop Gigantification Lv. 6 has slightly increased.]
[Your proficiency of Crop Gigantification Lv. 6 has been filled, and the level has increased.]
The skill level increased when he almost finished gigantifying the roasted sweet potatoes and roasted potatoes made by Veronica.
“Good.”
Sejun was happy about the skill level going up and
“Crop Gigantification.”
He intensified the use of the skill.
While Sejun and the mushroom ants were setting up the food,
Ook!
The banana monkeys working at the brewery opened the Samyangju and bottled it,
Ook!
Ook!
The banana monkeys from the 77th floor of the tower helped set up the alcohol while transporting the Samyangju.
Shortly after,
“It’s done!”
The food and alcohol setting for the party was completed.
Once the party preparations were done,
Thump. Thump.
The Minotaur King, ranked 1st on the 99th floor, and Pink-fur, ranked 3rd, approached.
For reference, the 2nd rank was Iona, and the 4th rank was Cuengi.
Moo.
[Sejun-nim, please ride.]
The Minotaur King approached and extended his palm.
“Okay.”
When Sejun got on the Minotaur King’s palm,
Swoosh.
The Minotaur King moved his hand above his head,
Click.
and Sejun jumped down from the Minotaur King’s palm, landing on top of his head.
“Puhuhut. I can see well, meow!”
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Cuengi can go even higher than this!]
Piyo!
[Me too]
“Kyoo-Quiet, everyone.”
Of course, other animals were also present.
[Hehe.]
Flamie too.
As Sejun got on the Minotaur King’s head,
Kuaaaa!
[Attention, everyone!]
Pink-fur, standing next to the Minotaur King, shouted loudly to draw attention.
“Thank you, Pink-fur.”
Sejun expressed his gratitude to Pink-fur and
“So many have come.”
He looked at the 1 million slaves looking at him.
The incredible energy focused on Sejun, but
“Meow!”
Thanks to Theo’s talent, Energy Drain, he was not intimidated at all. Chairman Park, don’t worry! Vice Chairman Theo will protect you, meow!
Sejun became comfortable thanks to Theo.
“Iona, cast some sound amplification magic, please.”
He asked Iona for magic,
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot! Yes, O wind…”
Iona cast the magic on Sejun.
“Ah. Ah. Thank you all for coming to my 1-year survival anniversary party!”
Sejun expressed his gratitude to those who participated in the party.
Though most of them came with illegal invitations, he was touched by how many attended his party…
‘Hehehe. I’m totally popular.’
Feeling elated and proud, Sejun was in high spirits.
“Let’s all eat our fill and enjoy the party! Let the party begin!!!”
He boldly shouted to the 1 million people who came to his party, getting carried away by the atmosphere.
He was going to regret his words soon.
“Wow!!! Long live the great Black Dragon!!!”
A tremendous cheer responded to Sejun’s shout.
“Hehehe.”
When Sejun laughed at the cheers directed at him,
“Puhuhut. I am the right hand of Chairman Park, meow!”
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Cuengi is daddy’s son!]
Theo and Cuengi also felt proud at the cheers directed at Sejun.
Piyo!
[I am the right front paw of the Golden Cat Theo Park, Pirururur Yotra!]
Piyot too.
As Sejun and the animals felt proud,
Nyam.
One by one, participants started eating the food.
Chew. Chew.
…!!!
Kyaah!
…!!!
Once they tasted it, they began eating the food like there was no tomorrow.
“What’s this?”
“Is it tasty?”
Seeing their actions, other participants also ate the food out of curiosity,
…!!!
and the food and alcohol disappeared even faster.
And soon, two crab shell pots were empty.
It was thanks to making the porridge deliberately bland and serving shrimp paste as a side dish instead.
The bland porridge and salty shrimp paste mixed in the mouth, creating a harmony that made it impossible to stop eating.
The situation with the other foods was no different. The food prepared by Sejun quickly diminished.
“I shouldn’t have told them to eat their fill…”
Sejun regretted his words as he saw the food supplies dwindling.
It would have been easy to just say that the prepared food had run out,
“But I made a promise…”
Sejun wanted to keep his word.
“Aileen, could you make a giant pot with these scales?”
Sejun asked Aileen to make a giant cooking pot, giving her the scales he had.
[The Tower’s Administrator says to leave it to her.]
Aileen responded and took away 100 scales.
A short while later,
[The Tower’s Administrator says they have completed a pot with the features you wanted.]
A pot with a black sheen appeared in Sejun’s palm.
The pot, with a lid and handles on both sides, had a strange beauty to it, whether because of the quality materials used or its simplicity.
“Not bad?”
Sejun examined the pot with a satisfied expression.
[Black Pot]
→ A very sturdy pot made using the scales of the great black dragons.
→ It won’t break, no matter how strong the force.
→ It’s engraved with advanced fire magic, so the pot heats up by infusing magic power into the handles without needing fire.
→ The size can be adjusted as desired, and dividers can be created in the center of the pot (up to 8 divisions possible).
→ Usage restriction: Strength over 500, Magic Power over 1000
→ Creator: Aileen Pritani
→ Grade: Unmeasurable
“Huh?! It even has fire magic engraved?”
Sejun was surprised, as fire magic was not among his requests.
[The Tower’s Administrator says that without engraving fire magic, it wouldn’t be possible to heat the dragon scales.]
“Ah, right.”
It was dragon scales, after all. Placing dragon scales over ordinary fire wouldn’t make them hot.
“Thanks. Aileen, you’re the best!”
Sejun praised Aileen with an admiring voice.
Without Aileen, it would have just been a sturdy bowl.
“Great!”
Feeling good with his new equipment, Sejun started cooking again.
“First, let’s enlarge the pot.”
Sejun placed the pot on the ground with the lid open and thought about the size he wanted,
Wooong.
and it transformed into a giant pot with a diameter of 100m and a depth of 10m.
“Since I need to make two types of food…”
Sejun touched the pot again, thinking of dividers,
Clang.
and dividers were erected, splitting the pot in half.
“Good.”
Pak.
Sejun jumped onto the handle of the pot, crouched down, and began to lower his posture,
Click.
while infusing magic power into the handle with his right hand to increase the pot’s temperature,
“Ice Cube.”
He extended his left hand towards the pot, creating ice cubes and dropping them into the pot.
As the ice touched the heated pot,
Ssssss.
it quickly melted into water.
Once the pot was half filled with water,
[Artifact: The Rice Dough that Devours Wealth has consumed 10,000 Tower Coins and produced 5000kg of top-grade rice flour.]
Whoosh.
Sejun poured the rice flour into the pot.
And then,
“Vice Chairman Theo, go!”
“Right meow!”
Shak.
“Cuengi, go!”
Kueng!
[Cuengi is ready!]
Bang!
Sejun took locusts and fish out of the void storage and threw them to Theo and Cuengi, who were standing on either side of the pot, alternating between the two.
Cuengi, thinking it was just Sejun and Theo having fun, asked to be thrown some as well.
Kueng!
Bang!
Cuengi, lacking the ability to extend magical claws, used telekinesis to mash the fish, so there was no need to mash the fish separately.
“Good.”
Once all the porridge ingredients were added,
“Cuengi, close the lid.”
Kueng!
[Got it!]
Thump.
Cuengi closed the pot lid with telekinesis.
A short while later,
“Done!”
Sejun completed the fish porridge and locust porridge with Theo and Cuengi.
Thanks to the strong firepower and the pressure built up by covering the pot, the porridge could be made faster.
“Minos, please scoop some out and share.”
Moo!
[Yes!]
At Sejun’s request, the Black Minotaurs scooped out porridge from the giant black pot in the large crab shell pot,
Thump.
and placed it here and there in the middle of the spaces so it could be easily eaten.
Then, they brought the empty crab-shell pots back to the fire, filled them with water, rice, and ingredients, and began boiling again.
“Veronica, are you doing well?”
In the meantime, he made roasted sweet potatoes and roasted potatoes with Veronica,
“Crop Gigantification.”
and used the skill to gigantify cherry tomatoes, grapes, roasted sweet potatoes, and roasted potatoes.
After a few cycles,
“Huh?! It’s gone?”
The locust meat and fish stored in the void storage were the first to run out.
“Then, let’s switch to egg porridge.”
Sejun immediately changed the ingredients to Egg Fruits and made egg porridge.
How much time had passed? No more complaints about running out of food were heard.
He had fed 1 million people to their fill.
“Phew. That was hard…”
Sejun was exhausted from making food.
Thud.
He sat down on the ground to rest.
Then,
[You have achieved the great feat of feeding 1 million people to their fill.]
[As a reward for the great feat, you have acquired the title: Saint of Feeding.]
[As a reward for the great feat, all stats increase by 100.]
[Rewards are given according to the contribution of those who helped with the great feat.]
A message appeared in front of the tired Sejun.
“Huh?!”
There was such an achievement?! Sejun was surprised when he saw the message,
“Meow?! Chairman Park, I have awakened a talent, meow!”
Kueng!
[Cuengi has also awakened a talent!]
“Me too!”
Theo, Cuengi, and Veronica, who helped Sejun the most, awakened new talents.
Theo awakened a talent for strong fur that doesn’t fall out easily and provides strong defense,
Cuengi awakened a gourmet talent, feeling full from eating delicious food,
Veronica awakened a talent called Hundred Poison Immunity, having resistance to a hundred poisons.
And,
Moo!
The Black Minotaurs who helped carry the food for Sejun saw their stats increase by about 10.
“Hehehe. Guys, let’s eat.”
Sejun, revived by the achievement rewards, got up,
“Good, meow!”
Kueng!
[Good!]
(Pip-pip.)
Piyo!
The animals, who were starving while waiting for Sejun to cook, cheered and celebrated.
Shortly after,
“Okay. Let’s eat!”
Sejun began to eat with the animals, setting down pots full of egg porridge and shrimp paste.
And,
(Pip-pip. Phew. I’m so full I can’t eat anymore.)
Piyo! Piyo!
[Me too! I’m so full I can’t even fly!]
When the Golden Bat and Piyo caressed their protruding bellies after eating to their fill,
[You have fed the two to their fill.]
[Due to the effect of the title: Saint of Feeding, all stats permanently increase by 0.2.]
A message appeared in Sejun’s view.
“Huh?!”
What?! Do all stats increase by 0.1 every time I feed someone to their fill?
“Hehehe. From today, everyone eats to their fill. Got it?”
Kueng! Kueng!
[Understood! Cuengi will eat to his fill!]
Cuengi responded with a cheerful voice to Sejun’s words.
It was fortunate that Cuengi had awakened the Gourmet talent.
Otherwise, Sejun would have had to cook tirelessly again.
After the meal was over,
“Let’s go to bed early.”
Kueng!
[Dad, good night!]
Following Sejun’s words, Cuengi went to sleep with Pink-fur, and the tired Sejun hurried home.
And,
“Sejun-nim, what about me?”
Veronica was left alone.
[Veronica, follow me.]
Flamie took Veronica and put her to sleep inside the cave.
***
The next morning.
“Alright.”
Sejun woke up early.
“First, I need to take care of the black beans.”
He put Theo on his leg and
Click.
opened the void storage.
And then
Click.
he took out two black beans from the Golden Box of Abundance.
As Sejun was about to leave the storage with six black beans intended for sale to the dragons,
Kking? Kking!
‘Where have you been? Huh?! It’s the black fruit!’
Fenrir, who had woken up and was looking for Sejun, noticed the black beans in Sejun’s hand.
Thump. Thump.
Fenrir ran eagerly towards Sejun.
Click.
Sitting in front of Sejun, Fenrir looked at him boldly. Now that I’ve sat, give it to me.
“Do you want this because you sat down, Blackie? Good boy. Here.”
Sejun happily gave Fenrir a black royal jelly, switching it with the black bean,
Kking…
[Bitter…]
Unable to withstand the bitterness, Fenrir fainted again.
“Sleep well.”
Sejun placed Fenrir on the bed and
Swoosh.
marked the date on the bedroom wall.
Day 366 of the being stranded.
No, Day 366 of entering the tower. The word ‘stranded’ had disappeared from Sejun’s thoughts by now.
Then,
“Sejun-nim, we’ve arrived!”
Wolves carrying kimchi and side dishes from Sejun’s mother, Kim Mi-ran, arrived, marking the start of the true celebration of Sejun’s 1 year of entering the tower.
