107
The next day.
Woo-jin went to the Tower-Blessed Mana Cherry Tomato patch and plucked one tomato by hand with a soft snap.
[You have harvested a Tower-Blessed Mana Cherry Tomato.]
[Harvesting Lv. 10’s proficiency increases ever so slightly.]
[You gain Experience Points from harvesting.]
The familiar message appeared.
He was about to continue harvesting without giving it much thought when—
[You have harvested a B-Grade crop for the first time.]
[As a reward, your farming-related skill levels increase.]
[You have acquired Soil Leveling Lv. 10.]
“What?”
[Tower-Blessed Mana Cherry Tomato]
– Grade: B+
– Effects
– Permanent Magic Power +0.1 upon consumption (+0.1)
– Magic Power Recovery Speed +30% for 10 minutes upon consumption (+30%)
– Description: A Tower cherry tomato cultivated by someone. When consumed, your Magic Power recovery speed will rise for a brief time and your Magic Power seems bound to increase. Blessed with Tower’s Blessing, both taste and effect have doubled.
He was genuinely startled.
B-Grade, no less.
Moreover, thanks to the World Tree’s Blessing, the effects had doubled, and the numbers had shot up absurdly.
A single fruit raised Magic Power by 0.2.
What stood out even more, though, was the Magic Power recovery speed increasing by 60 percent.
“This is better than an Intermediate Mana Potion, isn’t it?”
He logged into the Auction House to check.
[Intermediate Mana Potion]
– Grade: B
– Effects: Magic Power Recovery Speed +50% for 60 minutes upon consumption
– Description: A magical potion that dramatically increases Magic Power recovery speed.
Though the cherry tomato’s duration was far shorter, its Magic Power recovery speed was 10 percent higher.
In other words.
“Hehehe. I hit the jackpot.”
Woo-jin spent a minute harvesting cherry tomatoes diligently, gathering a total of 100 in his basket.
“Let’s eat together.”
“Cherry tomatoes, yes?”
“B-Grade ones, no less.”
“Really, yes!”
Woo-jin shared the cherry tomatoes with all his companions.
– Pop. (Tastes so good, you know.)
– Pop! (Eating it makes energy surge, you know!)
Crunch.
They were larger than the generic cherry tomatoes sold at supermarkets, with a fresher, tangier taste. And the aftertaste was remarkably clean.
[Your Magic Power increases permanently by 0.2 from consuming Tower-Blessed Mana Cherry Tomato.]
[Your Magic Power recovery speed increases by 60 percent for 10 minutes.]
‘If my stats rise at this rate, won’t my Magic Power hit 100 in no time?’
Currently, Woo-jin had bonus stats applied.
Thanks to the title Conqueror of the Infinite Colosseum, all his abilities received a 50 percent boost.
Woo-jin’s current Magic Power was around 36.
In other words, if his raw Magic Power reached only about 65, the bonus effect alone would push him close to 100.
Eating five cherry tomatoes increased his Magic Power by 1.
Eating just 50 a day could raise his Magic Power by 10.
Of course, to the World Tree and the gods, 36 or 100 was much the same, but compared to other Adventurers, it was impressively high.
‘Not that the Magic Power matters—the cherry tomatoes just taste good anyway.’
The gods ate them readily too.
[The God of Adventure tosses three cherry tomatoes into his mouth at once and chews them down with gusto before swallowing.]
[The God of Adventure remarks that if there were a God of Life, he probably would have eaten them even more eagerly than I do.]
Who is the God of Life?
He’d never heard of one before.
So there were more gods out there?
Woo-jin didn’t bother asking about it.
.
.
.
[You have harvested a Tower’s Blessed Stamina Carrot.]
[Your proficiency with Harvesting Lv. 10 has increased slightly.]
[You gain Experience Points from Harvesting.]
[Your Level has increased.]
[Tower’s Blessed Stamina Carrot…….]
Pop.
[Tower’s Blessed Stamina Carrot]
– Grade: B+
– Effects
– Permanently increases Stamina by +0.1 upon consumption (+0.1)
– Increases Stamina recovery rate by +30% for 10 minutes upon consumption (+30%)
– Description: A Tower’s stamina carrot cultivated by someone. Eating it will temporarily increase your stamina recovery rate and raise your overall stamina. Blessed to have double the flavor and effectiveness.
“Hehehehe.”
Laughter escaped me as I held the plump crimson carrot in my hand.
With Harvesting entering level 10, it seemed B-Grade crops had become available.
And my prediction had been correct.
I left the crops that hadn’t reached harvest time untouched.
When I harvested the sweet potato and potato as well, they too turned out to be B-Grade.
[Tower’s Blessed Strength Sweet Potato]
– Grade: B+
– Effects
– Permanently increases Strength by +0.1 upon consumption (+0.1)
– Description: A Tower’s strength sweet potato cultivated by someone. Eating it will make your strength slightly stronger. Blessed to have double the flavor and effectiveness.
[Tower’s Blessed Resistance Potato]
– Grade: B+
– Effects
– Permanently increases all Resistance by +0.05 upon consumption (+0.05)
– Description: A Tower’s resistance potato cultivated by someone. Eating it will raise various resistances. Blessed to have double the flavor and effectiveness.
Crunch.
I bit into the carrot and chewed.
The distinctive earthy sweetness and sharp-then-mellow flavor of the carrot came through clearly.
“I need to make some Carrot Juice.”
Before I pulled out the Millstone to grind,
I used the Sunlight skill to start a fire, then set the potatoes and sweet potato in to cook.
Crackle, snap!
The sound of things crisping in the flames filled the air.
In the meantime, I fed carrots into the holes of the Millstone’s upper plate and turned the handle.
Grrrind…….
The Doppelganger worked beside me, peeling carrot skins from the basket and cleaning them before handing them over.
Then I would feed the cleaned carrots into the Millstone and turn it.
[You have completed Carrot Juice.]
[Carrot Juice]
– Grade: B
– Effects
– Taste bonus +50%
– Permanently increases Stamina by +0.2 upon consumption
– Increases Stamina recovery rate by +60% for 30 minutes upon consumption
– Description: Juice made by grinding Tower-Blessed Stamina Carrots. Drinking it will temporarily boost your stamina recovery rate and raise your overall stamina.
In the end, one bottle, two bottles, …… a total of 100 bottles of Carrot Juice came out.
“Hmm.”
[You request a private trade with Kang Min-woo.]
[You register Carrot Juice×10.]
– Me: This has the effect of a stamina potion.
– Me: Use it whenever you need!
– Kang Min-woo: ……Whoa! This is basically an Intermediate Stamina Potion, isn’t it?
– Me: Ahem.
I’d planned to just give it to him, but Kang Min-woo insisted on throwing in Coin anyway.
[Carrot Juice ×10 has been sold.]
[95,000 Coin has been settled.]
He’d given the full maximum of 100,000 Coin that he was holding.
Lee Woo-jin didn’t mind receiving Coin—the more he had, the better—so he didn’t refuse what Ethan was offering.
‘Right. Maybe I should give some to the other Rankers too.’
Lee Woo-jin immediately sent a private trade request.
The recipient: Ethan Coldwell.
He accepted right away.
– Ethan Coldwell: Oh my God!
– Ethan Coldwell: Hello there!
– Me: Hello. I’m Woo-jin.
– Me: I give you Carrot Juice. Okay?
– Ethan Coldwell: What?
[Carrot Juice ×10 is being registered.]
– Ethan Coldwell: What!?
– Ethan Coldwell: I’ve never seen anything like this before. This is a full-fledged potion.
– Me: Yes. Stamina potion.
Ethan Coldwell insisted on giving Coin even though Lee Woo-jin was offering it freely.
He received it gratefully.
[95,000 Coin has been settled.]
– Ethan Coldwell: By the way, this isn’t compensation for saving me on the 38th Floor.
– Ethan Coldwell: Your phone was off—are you still in the Tower?
– Me: Yes. Vacation tomorrow.
– Ethan Coldwell: Oh! Then I’ll head to Korea tomorrow. How about I visit you in person?
– Me: Oh, good. Let’s have lunch together at my place tomorrow.
– Me: I’ll send you the address.
– Ethan Coldwell: I will definitely be there!
– Me: Okay. See you tomorrow.
After the conversation with Ethan Coldwell ended.
He decided to give Carrot Juice to Li Wei from China and Kamiya Ren from Japan as well.
But when he tried to start a conversation with either of them, neither responded, and they didn’t accept his private trade requests.
Wondering if it was because he’d used their real names, he tried messaging the nickname he’d used when giving them the Lightning Sword—Anonymous 58,763—but got the same result.
“Can’t be helped.”
Lee Woo-jin shrugged.
Rankers probably received tens, hundreds, maybe even thousands of conversation requests a day.
By then, the sweet potatoes and potatoes had finished roasting.
He pulled out the baked sweet potato and roasted potato and set them aside to cool for a moment.
“Woo-jin. You’re really going to Korea tomorrow, meow?”
“Yeah. You want to come?”
“Really!? I wanna go, meow!”
Lee Woo-jin nodded.
* * *
The next day.
Lee Woo-jin descended to the 90th Floor and used the Wish Stone to arrive in Korea.
When he checked his smartphone, he found a message from Ethan Coldwell saying he’d be able to reach a Korean apartment before noon.
Lee Woo-jin arrived home with Kkamangi.
Kim Mi-suk was at the house.
“My goodness, our Kkamangi’s back again.”
“That’s right, meow!”
“You’re eating right away, right? Mom will get it ready for you. I was expecting you anyway, so I’ve already prepared side dishes and stew.”
“That smell! It’s braised beef short ribs, meow!”
“Hehe. That’s right.”
Lee Woo-jin let out a small, deliberate cough.
“Mom, is it okay if an acquaintance comes for lunch and eats with us?”
“An acquaintance? Who?”
“A famous person from the USA. His name is Ethan Coldwell.”
Kim Mi-suk was startled.
While she didn’t know much about foreigners, the name Ethan Coldwell was as famous as the President of the United States.
After all, he was ranked 1st in the global rankings among Awakeners.
“W-why is he coming here?”
“I invited him. He’s coming around noon.”
Kim Mi-suk’s mouth fell open.
She’d been startled enough when Kang Min-woo showed up last time, but now Ethan Coldwell—this was something else entirely.
