Chapter 514: Chapter 514
It was so dark that not even a step ahead was visible.
Since it wasn’t a place where residents lived, there were no lights like magic or torches.
Sejun snapped his fingers.
After creating a flame, he looked around the surroundings.
‘Besides the trees, nothing seems out of the ordinary.’
Theo stamped the wings of the Fig Bats, officially hiring them as employees of Sejun Company.
[Due to the effect of the title , all your stats increase by 0.3.]
But this title isn’t changing.
Sejun wasn’t sure if it hadn’t been fully reflected yet or if it just wasn’t being updated.
Reading the message, Sejun stood up.
He grabbed the baby bat still playing on his shoulder.
“Now that you’ve lost your baby teeth, it’s hard to eat, so try this.”
Placing the baby bat on the ground, Sejun offered it some honey water.
The baby bat took a sip of the honey water Sejun had given it.
Excited, the baby bat jumped into the honey water bowl, completely merging with the honey.
“Paespaes, ask the bats if they’ve seen anything suspicious around here.”
(Pip-pip! Understood!)
Sejun had Paespaes translate, as he couldn’t directly communicate with the bats.
The Fig Bats shook their heads.
Since they rarely left the farm, they didn’t know much about what was around the area.
“Paespaes-nim! I know a suspicious place! If you go there, the lights go out!”
A baby bat, who had occasionally sneaked out to explore without the adults knowing, shouted out.
Of course, the parents of the baby bat shot it a fierce glare.
Through Paespaes, Sejun told the parents not to scold the baby bat and handed over plenty of honey water for the little bat to enjoy.
Holding a torch, Sejun began moving toward the suspicious place the baby bat had mentioned.
They’re scolding it after all.
The sound of the baby bat being scolded could be heard from afar.
Well, it deserves a scolding.
If not, it might really get into danger later.
‘I wonder how Father Rabbit and Mother Rabbit are doing?’
Thinking of the bat couple scolding their baby reminded Sejun naturally of the rabbit couple.
55th floor of the Black Tower.
[Farming School Entrance Ceremony]
Baby rabbits passed in groups under the huge banner installed at the entrance of the farm for the farming school entrance ceremony.
And among the new students,
Black Torch, who was born with three dots on his back, was receiving training to become the strongest Black Rabbit, so he technically didn’t need to attend farming classes.
However, since the foundation of the Red Ribbon Kingdom was farming, even royalty had to learn about it.
“Nice to see you all.”
Most of them were family, so it was practically a family gathering.
As the baby rabbits passed under the banner and walked along the path,
“Look! It’s Grandpa!”
“Grandma’s here too! What are they doing over there?”
The rabbit couple, who had been appointed as the principal and vice principal of the farming school to nurture future generations, stood at the far end of the field, waiting for the baby rabbits.
“Now, now. Here I’m not Grandpa. Students, please follow my instructions as your principal.”
“And I’m not your grandma here either. I’m the vice principal.”
Father Rabbit and Mother Rabbit spoke in strict tones to the 100 baby rabbits gathered before them.
“Grandpa, what are you doing up there?”
“Grandpa, come play with us!”
“Grandma, I’m hungry!”
The baby rabbits weren’t paying much attention.
However, for the rabbit couple, who had mastered parenting a hundred times over, dealing with baby rabbits was too easy.
“Ahem. If you keep talking, I’ll call Uncle Theo.”
At the mention of Uncle Theo, the startled baby rabbits quickly covered their mouths with one paw and their foreheads with the other, as if trying to block any potential stamping from Theo.
Theo’s fearsome reputation had spread even among the baby rabbits.
Thanks to that, the field quickly quieted down.
“Ahem. I’d like to welcome you all to farming school. As for me, your principal, I am the one who taught farming to the greatest farmer of the Black Tower, Tower Farmer Park Sejun…”
And thus began the never-ending ‘back in my day’ lecture from the principal.
About 30 minutes after Sejun headed in the direction the baby bat had pointed out, the torch suddenly went out.
Sejun snapped his fingers and reignited the torch.
But just like someone had poured water on it, the torch immediately extinguished again.
“This must be the place, right?”
No matter how he looked at it, this place seemed suspicious.
But what should he do?
He wanted to look around, but without the light, it was impossible to see anything.
[Dad, Cuengi will light everything up for you!]
Cuengi pulled out his Thunderbolt Staff and flew up into the sky.
As Cuengi continuously struck the surroundings with lightning,
Sejun saw a swarm of black bugs drawn to the flickering light.
These monsters had sleek, slimy bodies and black wings on their streamlined forms.
One giant creature, dying as smoke rose from it. By sheer bad luck, it had been struck by Cuengi’s lightning.
As Sejun gave Cuengi a thumbs-up,
The Darkness Bug Queen collapsed.
[You have gained 10 million experience points, 50% of what Herbalist Cuengi earned.]
Along with the message, the body of the Darkness Bug Queen burned away, revealing the sun it had swallowed, now radiating a blinding light.
As the sun emerged, countless Darkness Bugs swarmed around it, trying to consume it, plunging the surroundings into darkness again.
But the Darkness Bugs couldn’t withstand the light of the sun, and as their bodies burned up, the sun grew even brighter, using the bugs’ corpses as fuel to soar into the sky.
[As a reward for your great feat, you have earned the title .]
[As a reward for your great feat, all your stats have increased by 50.]
Sejun, having done almost nothing, gained experience and a new title.
[You can no longer absorb additional stats.]
[The stats you earned will return to nature.]
Because of his maxed potential, the stat points were lost.
[As a reward for completing the quest, you have obtained 10 drops of the Harvest Elixir.]
Ah, another 10 drops of Harvest Elixir.
Sejun registered the waypoint and returned.
“Ehehe, I hope Sejun-hyung comes back soon.”
