Part 2 Chapter 115: The Seed from the Future./ 839
TL: Hanguk
System Management Area.
“...What is that?”
[System Eok-Samchiri], who received instructions from Sejun, was flustered.
Even after searching through all the information in the main system, there was no data about the seed Sejun possessed. As if it didn’t exist in this world.
If he says he doesn’t know, he’ll be impeached immediately...
[System Eok-Samchiri] fell into deep thought.
[Eok-Samchiri, what are you doing?! Sejun-nim told you to find out!]
Flamie scolded [System Eok-Samchiri].
“Eok-Samchiri-nim, don’t tell me you don’t know? Come out for a moment. I’ll look for it myself!”
[System SJC], who had been eyeing [System Eok-Samchiri]’s position managing the main system, saw this as an opportunity to take the seat.
‘I have to do something!’
At this rate, I’ll be scolded and lose my position too!
[System Eok-Samchiri], sensing the crisis,
Mobilized all of his abilities to reverse-read the remaining traces on the seed Sejun was holding and began tracking the information.
It was picked up by Theo-nim 10 days ago... and from there...
‘Huh?’
It suddenly appeared 3 days before that?
If magic or divine power had been used, there would be traces...
[System Eok-Samchiri] tried with all his might to find a trace,
But found nothing...
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t read any traces before the seed suddenly appeared 3 days prior to when Theo picked it up. As if someone had intentionally erased it.
What should I do?
As the anxiety of [System Eok-Samchiri], who obtained no information, continued to rise,
Huh?! A trace!
[System Eok-Samchiri] discovered a faint trace left on the seed.
-Owned by Park Chae-rin Pritani Zack, Master of All Giant Towers, 13 days ago.
The name of the being who last possessed the seed.
But then,
Who is that?
Even [System Eok-Samchiri] didn’t know who it was.
And the existence of Park Chaerin Pritani Zack, the owner of all Great Towers, completely confused [System Eok-Samchiri].
‘Owner of all Great Towers?’
Even the owners of the nine Great Towers haven’t been decided yet?
First, the title was strange,
The surname is Park... then Pritani, which only the great Black Dragons can use... and even the surname Zack, of Sabren Zack-nim, the great Colorless Dragon that Sejun-nim hasn’t received yet...
The name was strange too. It had three surnames that couldn’t possibly be connected.
Which means... could it be?!
As the jumbled pieces of information came together, one fact emerged.
Park Chae-rin Pritani Zack.
A name that could only exist if Park Sejun passed the test safely, became the great Colorless Dragon, inherited the surname Zack, married Aileen, and had a child.
Park Chae-rin Pritani Zack was clearly Sejun’s child or descendant.
Is this even possible?!
No. Sejun-nim really pulled it off?!
[System Eok-Samchiri] was shocked by what he had realized.
Then this means it’s from the future.
At the same time, he understood why he couldn’t read the seed’s information. Because it came from the future, [System Eok-Samchiri]’s database couldn’t find any data about the seed.
That’s how [System Eok-Samchiri] figured out the information about the seed.
He hurriedly reported to Sejun. To prove his competence.
***
[You have been recognized as the rightful owner of the Blue Flounder Farm on the 81st Floor of the Blue Tower.]
“Hahaha. Nice. Now, we just need 21 more land deeds and the Blue Tower is ours.”
“Puhuhut. Let’s quickly collect the land deeds and collect rent from Kin-nim, meow!”
“Alright. Let’s give it our all!”
“Puhuhut. Sounds good, meow!”
Sejun was happily playing land grabbing using the land deeds Theo had brought.
[Sejun-nim, the seed you asked me to investigate was sent from the future by your child or descendant!]
“Huh? That seed came from the future?!”
And it was sent by my child or descendant?
What kind of nonsense is this?
Sejun made a dumbfounded expression at [System Eok-Samchiri]'s words.
“Eok-Samchiri, are you just making this up because you don’t know?! If you don’t know, just say so. I won’t impeach you this time.”
“Puhuhut. As expected, the great hybrid Chairman Park is generous, meow! Eok-Samchiri, quickly tell Chairman Park the truth, meow!”
[No! Please believe me! That seed is really from the future! Please check the information!]
“Hmm. I’ll believe you for now.”
[Seed of ? from the Future]
???
Previous owner: Park Chae-rin Pritani Zack, owner of all Great Towers
As Sejun looked at the seed again, the information updated by [System Eok-Samchiri] appeared.
“Park Chae-rin, huh...”
I guess it's not my child then.
The name is lame.
Since he would never have come up with such a lame name himself, Sejun believed that Park Chae-rin was not his child but a descendant.
Anyway...
“Park Sejun, you did it.”
Sejun was very proud of himself. His future self had overcome all obstacles and succeeded in marrying Aileen. That meant present Sejun would also make it happen.
"Heheh. What a great guy I am...."
A man who gets things done in the end.
Sejun smiled smugly without realizing it.
“Meow?! Chairman Park's face is rotting, meow!”
Theo quickly stepped on Sejun’s face to bring him back to humility.
And then,
Kueng! Kueng!
[Dad, don’t make that face! Cuengi will heal you!]
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. Butler! Just wait! Great Blackie will step on you!]
“Heehee. Daddy, Taecho will massage you!”
Cuengi, Blackie, and Taecho, who had been busy catching blue flounder at the fish farm to eat grilled fish, also joined in, with their fishy-smelling paws and hands.
“Ugh. The smell....”
Thanks to that, Sejun received both humility and the stench of fish.
“Anyway, I should try planting the seed first.”
Sejun planted the seed in the middle of the 10th floor, the top floor of the 10th Tower,
Drip.
Then dropped a single drop of the Harvest Elixir, which enables harvesting in just a few hours, onto the spot where the seed was planted. He was too curious to know what kind of seed it was.
However,
......
There was no reaction.
One drop isn’t enough?
Drip.
Sejun dropped another drop of the Harvest Elixir and waited, but again there was no response.
Drip.
Even after using up to five drops of the Harvest Elixir, nothing happened.
Since overuse could cause side effects,
He left the seed there and returned home.
“Today is grilled fish party!”
“Puhuhut. Sounds good, meow!”
The Kindergarten of Destruction family stuffed themselves with the blue flounder they had caught.
Sejun, due to his diet, couldn’t eat grilled fish and had to stick to cherry tomato juice and eggs.
“Hehehe. Delicious.”
“Puhuhut. Delicious, meow!”
Kuehehehe!
Kihihit!
“Heehee!”
Today was another full and happy day for everyone.
***
A few days later.
[A quest has been generated.]
[Quest: The Flame Peppers of the Flame Pepper Farm are suffering due to red aphids that are sucking out their sap. Please eliminate the red aphids.]
Reward: Recognition as the rightful owner of the Flame Pepper Farm on the 37th Floor of the Red Tower
Today as well, Sejun was completing a Land Deed quest using the deed Theo had brought.
“Those are aphids?! Why are they so big?!”
He was horrified to see red aphids the size of fists from how well-fed they were.
“Maybe it’s a good thing they’re big?”
If they were too small, they’d be harder to deal with.
“Guys, let’s catch them!”
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!”
“Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot. Yes.”
Kueng!
Kking!
“Taecho will punish them!”
Sejun and his party worked hard to eliminate the red aphids clinging to the flame pepper plants.
“Close.”
Slam!
[You have eliminated a red aphid.]
[You have gained 5 experience points.]
...
..
.
Sejun caught the aphids with his hands and crushed them by hitting them on stone.
“Puhuhut. You’re already dead, meow!”
SSwish. Swish.
Theo used Light Speed Meow-Step to move quickly and killed only red aphids with his dragon claws.
“Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot. Target locked. Multi-shot Magic Missile.”
Iona used magic to instantly lock on to her targets and precisely attacked hundreds of aphids with magic missiles.
Kueeeng!
Cuengi knocked the aphids off the flame peppers with a weak Kueng-hoo
Boom!
And finished them off with Ground Tremor, a move he learned from Pink-fur, that uses a foot stomp to create a shockwave to attack enemies.
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. Move faster! Great Blackie will take first place!]
Blackie urged his subordinates and had them eliminate the aphids.
And then,
“Heehee. Daddy, Taecho is sleepy....”
“Hop on Dad’s back.”
After catching a few aphids, Taecho got tired and fell asleep on Sejun’s back.
Thanks to the party’s hard work, the red aphids were quickly eradicated.
A short while later.
[All red aphids have been eliminated.]
[You have completed the quest.]
[You have been recognized as the rightful owner of the Flame Pepper Farm on the 37th Floor of the Red Tower.]
[The Flame Peppers express their gratitude to Tower Farmer Park Sejun of the Black Tower, and their growth speed will increase by 20% for 10 days.]
The red aphids that had been sucking the sap of the flame peppers were all gone from the farm.
“Quest complete. Good work, everyone.”
“Puhuhut. Now we just need 17 more Red Tower land deeds and we can collect rent from Ramter-nim, meow!”
“Hehehe. Just thinking about it makes me excited.”
“Puhuhut. Same for me, Vice Chairman Theo, meow!”
Sejun, imagining the joy of collecting rent from Ramter and the other dragon leaders, used another land deed.
He secured three more floors of the Golden Tower and two more of the White Tower, increasing his shares in the towers.
For reference, the Black Tower, where Sejun mainly operated, was in a situation where he could own the giant tower with just 8 more Land Deeds.
Hehehe. The great Black Dragons, who were of the same race as Aileen, would of course be exempt from rent.
‘But if they oppose my marriage to Aileen...’
Banishment it is!
Sejun spread the wings of imagination, beating the drum and playing the janggu all by himself.
“Everyone, let’s go home now.”
“Puhuhut. Sounds good, meow!”
After returning home with the group, they had lunch.
And then,
Time to check the seed.
[You have arrived on the 10th floor of the 10th Tower.]
Sejun moved to the 10th floor of the 10th Tower to check whether it had sprouted. These days, he came here once a day to look at the seed for about 30 minutes before going back down.
Can I really become strong?
Whenever he looked at this seed, his doubts disappeared. This seed was sent by his descendant. Proof that he had safely married Aileen in the future.
And so, Sejun arrived again today at the spot where the seed was planted.
[......]
It hadn’t sprouted today either.
“It’s okay to grow slowly.”
Drip.
As always, Sejun dropped a single drop of Harvest Elixir on the spot where the seed was planted.
“Vice Chairman Theo, by the way, why can’t we find a tutor?”
“Puhuhut. I don’t know, meow! Let’s go see Jeras tomorrow, meow!”
“Alright.”
Sejun chatted with Theo.
Then.
Ppyok.
Huh? A sprout!
A sprout emerged from the ground.
Rumble.
A huge sprout.
The sprout rapidly grew, shaking the ground, and in an instant, pierced through the ceiling of the 10th Tower, branching out and starting to bear around twenty fruits.
Peas?
Green peas were growing from the branches without pods.
The seed had looked nothing like a pea...
Sejun, puzzled, climbed up the massive tree and harvested the peas.
[You have harvested Divine Elixir: Pea of Great Magic Power.]
[Your job Experience have greatly increased.]
[Your proficiency in Harvesting (Master) has greatly increased.]
[You have acquired 3 million Experience Points.]
A harvest message appeared.
[Congratulations!]
[You have achieved the feat of creating a new variety in the Tower.]
...
..
.
A new variety message followed. Since it came from the future, it had no owner in the present.
Having harvested the new variety, Sejun
“Hehehe. I wonder what the effect is?”
With a happy smile, Sejun was about to check the option for the Divine Elixir: Pea of Great Magic Power when.
“Hm?”
A piece of paper?
A small note folded in half was tucked among the peas.
[To my dad in the past, Park Sejun. Dad, please hurry up and get stronger so you can play with me! - Your cute daughter, Park Chae-rin Pritani Zack.]
“So it was my daughter...? But ‘hurry up and get stronger so you can play with me’?”
Am I still weak then?
It seemed Sejun was still quite weak in the future. So much so that his daughter had to send support.
