“Meow meow meow! In a week is my birthday, meow!”

As Theo was going down to the 40th floor of the tower, he met the interns who were also going down for trading cherry tomatoes and supplying sturdy blade green onions. He boasted about his birthday, which he had received from Sejun, while moving together with them.

“Birthday?”

“That’s right, meow! If you have a birthday, you can get a gift from Chairman Park, meow!”

Originally, birthdays were events where you’d receive best wishes from those around you, but in the tower, birthdays had become a day to receive gifts from Sejun.

“Congratulations, Vice Chairman Theo!”

“Congratulations.”

“Thank you, meow!”

As Theo was being congratulated by the interns,

Zzzz.

Theo’s whiskers began to tremble.

“This feels ominous, meow!”

It was clear that something had happened to Chairman Park. As expected, Chairman Park can’t manage without me, meow! He can’t take care of his knees like this!

“Should we run?”

An intern, now accustomed to such situations, asked.

“That’s right, meow! Full speed ahead, meow!”

“Alright!”

Theo and the interns started running quickly.

[You have arrived at the 83rd-floor farm.]

[You have moved from the top floor, 99th floor, to the 83rd floor.]

[You have descended 16 floors.]

[Due to the effect of , all stats increase by 16.]

“Huh?!”

The title was not displayed in the status window. Thus, He had forgotten about it. The title ‘Retrogressor’ seemed to have the effect of increasing stats as you go down the floors.

“That’s good! But are these all chestnuts?!”

Sejun, after checking the message, looked around in amazement. There were over 1,000 chestnut trees with chestnuts hanging from them.

“Dragon Tooth Warrior-Helmet Summon.”

Sejun first summoned the bone helmet and wore it on his head. One couldn’t be too careful; if he wasn’t lucky, a falling chestnut might leave a hole in his head.

‘Full Body Armor Transformation.’

Clank.

Of course, Sejun, who valued safety, also protected the rest of his body as well. An increase in all stats by 16 didn’t mean he could let his guard down. Getting pricked by steel thorns would still result in an immediate critical hit.

As Sejun wore his bone armor,

Clink.

“Guys, come out.”

Sejun called out Cuengi and the golden bat from the void storage.

However,

(Yes!)

Flap. Flap.

Only the golden bat came out.

“Huh?! Where’s Cuengi?”

(Big Brother Cuengi is sleeping! Should I wake him up?)

Kurrrueng.

When Sejun sneaked a peek inside, he saw Cuengi, with his stomach bulging out, sleeping, and empty boxes scattered beside him. He seemed to have eaten the crops in the storage and fallen asleep.

“No need. Can you call the Black Wolves around the farm?”

(Yes!)

Sejun sent the golden bat and approached the nearest chestnut tree.

And then,

“Yap!”

He knocked down a nearby chestnut with Myler’s hoe.

‘Hehehe. First, I’ll roast them over the fire to make roasted chestnuts to eat. With the rest, I’ll make chestnut makgeolli that Kaiser will like and candied chestnuts simmered in honey…”

As Sejun was thinking about the dishes to make with chestnuts and picking chestnuts,

“Oh! That one is bigger?!”

A chestnut that was about 1.5 times bigger than a regular chestnut caught his eye.
