“Euchacha!”
Several days passed since returning to daily life after camping ended.
And I was now examining the newly planted sweet potatoes.
‘Thought potatoes would grow first but this is different again?’
When first planted potatoes and sweet potatoes clearly harvested potatoes first. But this time the sweet potatoes’ growth speed was much faster.
Strawberries still as when first planted only fruits set and not even able to harvest an incomprehensible matter.
Undulate!
“Soon harvest right? Today? Or a few days later?”
Wriggle!
“Today! Mattang~ Mattang~”
Ara interpreted with eyes full of expectation.
As much as the material of the favorite food sweet potato mattang fully up was visible.
Moreover this time’s sweet potatoes were different from last.
Since planted sweet potatoes imbued with mana this time mana sweet potatoes will come out.
Indeed how, how much changed expecting and waiting for harvest.
-Krung.
Then the star bear wriggling and crawling up on Mark Two was visible. For reference the star bear that followed Ara after last camping.
“Gomgomi! Mattang, mattang!”
This time too the name Ara gave.
Gomgomi balanced precariously on Mark Two then tada! and spread both arms.
“Ooh!”
Ara whose eyes sparkled watching that appearance.
Like that watching the kids’ tricks I looked around other crops once then immersed in thought.
‘Have to plant dungeon plants too but quite ambiguous.’
A grain kind plant that tastes like bread.
Anyway in this narrow dungeon cultivation seemed impossible.
Ultimately had to cultivate a field in Gluttony’s dungeon too.
“Next schedule Dasom orphanage.”
Just go to the orphanage and then try making a field in Gluttony’s dungeon once.
“Orphanage!”
“Yeah. Already tomorrow.”
“Seeing Jeong Soyeon Soyeon and Hongjun! Seeing the teacher too!”
Ara excited and danced and Gomgomi awkwardly followed. Feeling not boring with these guys the moment sitting in the seat.
Wriggle!
As if waiting only for me to sit Mark Two floated an exclamation mark above the head.
“Sweet potato!”
“No, suddenly?”
Soon the slimes moved orderly and headed to the sweet potato field. Me who tried to rest a bit also moved involuntarily.
“Mattang~ Mattang~!”
Ara sang a labor song and watched the actions the slimes were doing.
Pook!
“Really big.”
A sizable sweet potato popped out.
But sweet potato... right?
An exterior round like a potato.
The size was almost a bowling ball and as expected not ordinary.
-Pababam!
[Discovered a new crop.]
Please name it.
“Mana sweet potato.”
Immediately named it.
And the moment trying to confirm the ability of the newly harvested mana sweet potato.
[Hidden Quest: Develop a new crop]
Discover or develop a new crop.
New crop: 3/3
The quest window covered the field of vision and informed completion.
“Ah!”
Forgot the quest and lived but naturally resolved. A feeling of discovering an unexpected emergency fund.
‘So the clear reward is?’
Hidden quest was the first.
To begin with never heard so curious what the reward is.
Don’t tell me nothing.
Porong!
Suddenly something was created in front of the eyes.
A feeling similar to when slime summon but the silhouette was different.
“Hoe?”
“Uwa! Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong amazing!”
What was created in front of the eyes was none other than a hoe.
A tool used when plowing the field, never imagined an item would come out.
For now held the hoe.
Then it stuck to the hand and somehow a feeling of overflowing strength.
‘Item is item?’
Curious about stats so immediately confirmed.
[Riddle hoe (unique-growth type)]
A hoe someone whose name not revealed used. Helps crop growth.
-Becomes more convenient for plowing the field.
-Strength increases.
-The field created with this hoe does not suffer from pests.
-Crops harvested from the field created with this hoe have a probability of obtaining additional effects.
-Causes [soil aptitude] effect with ordinary probability.
Riddle hoe? Same name as the watering can?
Read the effects hanging in clusters somehow.
Boasted a much more gorgeous spec than the watering can and seeing now the item’s grade was ‘unique’.
The watering can that is mere ‘ordinary’ grade if growing becomes this good right.
“Jackpot?”
As it was had to make a field in Gluttony’s dungeon and of all times obtaining such an item.
“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong!”
“Uh. Ara also want to try holding?”
Passing the hoe Ara held then tilted head.
“Where used?”
“Used when plowing the field.”
“Ooh!”
Ara shone eyes and raised the hoe.
An appearance as if worshipping.
In the meantime the slimes were diligently harvesting sweet potatoes, I casually said to Ara.
“Ara, want to try taking out sweet potato once with that hoe?”
“Ooh! Trying!”
Ara’s expression fully expecting was cute.
Soon Ara swung the hoe vigorously in the field where sweet potatoes are.
Tududuk!
“Oh?”
Worried if sweet potatoes get damaged by being stabbed by the hoe but without any such sign sweet potatoes revealed appearance from underground in a rush.
Ara also confirmed that appearance then trembled body and swung the hoe again.
“Coming out madly!”
Following Ara’s voice feeling pleasure sweet potatoes poured out in a bunch. Sweet potatoes almost the size of Ara’s head rolled in all directions of the field.
Before I knew it the slimes left the harvest of sweet potatoes to Ara and poured all strength into moving to the storage.
Wriggle!
Mark Two undulated as if amazing.
Saw? This is exactly the power of the item, Mark Two!
“I also have to help.”
Because sweet potatoes big and heavy two or three slimes barely moved one. I held sweet potatoes under both arms and moved to the storage.
While doing so casually examined the sweet potato’s status window.
[Mana sweet potato LV.1]
A crop containing mana.
Upon intake, acquire [Diamond Indestructible] for 0.3 seconds.
Permanently health ability significantly rises. Permanent effect can stack total 5 times.
“Diamond Indestructible?”
What is this again. Seemed an ability but no level attached behind.
And 0.3 seconds where on earth to use?
‘That much a good ability?’
Roughly guessing an ability of the body becoming hard, if eating directly will know. But does the ability activate only after eating one whole? Then a bit...
Somehow an ability that seems helpful only to Ara who can snap one sweet potato alone.
Like that moving sweet potatoes total 212 sweet potatoes were harvested. Considering the size quite a lot of amount.
“Uehehehe! I’m invincible!”
Ara who fell deeply into the hoe raised the hoe with one hand and shouted. Beside such Ara Gomgomi followed the posture and made a sound.
-Kang.
In the meantime I selected roughly good size ones among the harvested sweet potatoes and finished preparation to eat.
“But how to trim this.”
Round but not perfect circle and bumpy. Should say similar to old pumpkin.
Then seemed fine cooking like pumpkin.
“For now shall I boil...”
Even thinking pumpkin the front of the eyes darkened and without knowing the all-purpose boiling theory popped out.
Just in time a huge pot of 50 servings existed so size sufficiently for sweet potatoes to enter.
“Ara, shall I boil for you?”
“Yeah!”
Leaving behind Ara who answers just good no matter how I cook brought the pot.
Soon putting in sweet potatoes about 3 seemed able to enter. For now put in as much as possible and poured water then started boiling.
“Ara, seems will take a bit long.”
“Can just eat?”
“Yeah. Let’s wait while eating.”
Ara who brought one sweet potato whole washed the soil in pond water. Including slimes Gomgomi watching that appearance Ara said.
“Can eat together?”
“Yeah.”
“I’ll share! Line up!”
Ara left her own sweet potato and lined up the slimes. Gomgomi also watching that appearance then followed and joined the line.
-Kwang?
Don’t know what but the appearance of following for now was cute. Like that distributing one each to the lined up slimes in 2 per group 12 sweet potatoes disappeared.
-Krong!
“Gomgomi small so eat sharing with this guy.”
Gomgomi also formed a group with one recruit slime and received one sweet potato. Soon waddling and holding the slime and sweet potato and sitting appearance.
Then one slime who couldn’t form a group lingered in front of Ara with a troubled appearance.
“Let’s eat together with me.”
Wriggle!
Raw sweet potato doesn’t seem delicious, but still mine different right?
Soon me and the recruit who received sweet potato distribution last order to Ara forcibly split the sweet potato.
Snap!
“Oh?”
Golden light flowed.
But not a feeling of exploding like sweet potato imbued with mana but flowing subtly with a refined feeling.
Handed one side of the sweet potato split in half to the slime and held the remaining one side with both hands.
‘Smell also pass.’
A fragrant yet sweet smell as if mixed with honey tickled the tip of the nose.
Looking around the kids were already in the middle of eating sweet potatoes. Ara with cheeks puffed made a happy smile.
Gomgomi as if not knowing how to eat was licking the cross section of the sweet potato revealed by the slime eating.
“Then. I’ll eat well.”
Crunch!
Indeed raw sweet potato so the moment feeling crunchy texture.
“Uuuuum!!”
A wave of emotion surged in.
No is this really raw sweet potato?
From the smell guessed but a taste that can’t help but see as really crazy.
As if fragrant flower scent and the taste creamy sweetness softly wrapped the mouth. Texture also felt moderately hard to the extent not bad in its own way.
Gulp.
“Haa...”
Swallowing felt the illusion of swallowing thick honey.
A taste wondering if need to cook.
“Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong! Can eat one more!”
“Eat a lot.”
“Ooh! Indeed Lee Gyuseong Gyuseong! Generosity amazing!”
Where picked up such words again, Ara. Vocabulary developing day by day.
Ara who finished one in an instant while eating one more sweet potato I examined the sweet potato put in the pot.
“Gradually?”
I who casually poked with a stick turned off the fire and discarded the pot’s water too. Soon took out the sweet potato steaming.
“Ummmm!”
“Eat and speak.”
Gulp!
“Delicious smell!”
Certainly a different smell from raw sweet potato.
Raw sweet potato a smell as if feeling wild softness and boiled sweet potato a bit more thick and sticky smell.
Wriggle- Wriggle-
Mark Two finished his share of sweet potato then soon coveted the boiled sweet potato too. Anyway have to boil more sweet potatoes.
While boiling sweet potatoes again Ara opened the boiled sweet potato. Peeling the skin softened by boiling the fragrant yet deep smell of sweet potato covered the dungeon.
“Hueee. I’m satisfied with just the smell.”
“Haha. For now let’s eat.”
“Yeah!”
The peeled sweet potato unlike when raw sweet potato the light had become a bit fainter. Nevertheless the smell making saliva gather became deeper.
Blew hoho and ate the steaming sweet potato.
“Um!”
Indeed delicious.
Can’t not be delicious. Whose sweet potato.
When raw sweet potato the hidden thick taste burst out. Because each individuality certain couldn’t say which more delicious but I personally raised the hand of boiled sweet potato.
-Kang.
But Gomgomi whether raw sweet potato better returned to the raw sweet potato he was eating.
Lick- Lick-
Licking like that will eat all day.
Watching Ara sucking in the boiled sweet potato without even feeling hot asked.
“Which better? Raw sweet potato? Boiled sweet potato?”
“Both good! But...”
“But?”
“Mattang best!”
The answer expected inwardly so laughter came out.
“Yeah. Then shall we hold sweet potatoes and go home? Ask Jaeseong and mother to make mattang.”
“Ooh! Great Lord Lord and Lee Jaeseong Jaeseong!”
Before I knew it Jaeseong’s name also lengthened.
Anyway we finished eating all the sweet potatoes and started packing luggage.
As it was no thought of going to the orphanage empty-handed and just in time harvested sweet potatoes.
‘Miss Soyeon’s reaction also looking forward.’
If tasting the newly harvested sweet potato how will react?
Thinking of feeding sweet potatoes several people immediately came to mind. Especially hyung Hanul.
‘Heard went to Japan gradually returned?’
