“Argh! Damn human! Why do I have to scatter these?!!!”

Ajax, having moved to the Green Tower, grumbled as he diligently scattered the kudzu fruits on the 78th floor of the Green Tower. He couldn’t help but work hard because it was part of the contract.

Consequently, his irritation exploded, and in line with his emotions, his magic power also erupted, spreading in all directions.

Thanks to this, nearby monsters that were close to Ajax passed out from the intensity of his magic power. The bombing dragon, Ajax, unknowingly assisted Sejun in his revenge.

“Damn it! Why am I doing this…”

After scattering the kudzu fruits on the 56th floor of the Green Tower, the grumbling Ajax opened a land deed and returned to the White Tower.

Once Ajax disappeared,

Wriggle. Wriggle.

The kudzu fruits, having absorbed the magic power released by Ajax, began to take root in the ground and grew rapidly.

***

“Flamie, you’ve been well, right?”

[Yes, Master!]

After confirming that Ajax scattered 100 million kudzu fruits in the Green Tower, Sejun descended to the cave to find Flamie. He wanted to receive Flamie’s Flame Buff, specifically the Flame of Affinity buff, to burn down the kudzu fields on the 85th floor of the tower.

Sejun planned to burn the kudzu fields and then replant them with kudzu fruits. Since the entirety of the 85th floor was already a kudzu field, he had no concerns about the fruits spreading, and he had plenty of kudzus to plant.

Moreover, considering the vitality of the kudzus, even haphazard planting would yield robust growth, providing optimal conditions to complete his job quest.

[Hehe. Please wait a moment! Yap!]

Excited by the thought of being able to help Sejun, Flamie shouted energetically, causing one of the four leaves it had to turn yellow, and the yellow flame seeped into Sejun’s body. The flame seemed stronger than before.

[The Enhanced Flame of Affinity will imbue the user’s body for 3 hours.]

[The Enhanced Flame of Affinity greatly aids the user in controlling fire.]

“Hmm? Enhanced Flame of Affinity?”

[Hehe, I’ve been working hard for you, Master!]

“Oh! Thanks, Flamie.”

Touched by Flamie’s dedication, Sejun gently caressed its leaf.

[The Farmer’s Warm Touch Lv. 4 is activated.]

[While being touched, the growth rate of the apple tree slightly increases.]

Just then,

Pop!

A new leaf sprouted from Flamie. It was its fifth leaf.

[Oh! Master, I’ve grown!]

“Wow! Congratulations!”

[Hehe, it’s all thanks to you, Master!]

“No… what… haha. I’ll pat you more.”

Flattered by Flamie’s compliment, Sejun was shy as he attempted to stroke Flamie’s leaf again.

However,

[No, it’s okay. You can pat me later. You should go now. The duration of the Flame Buff is decreasing.]

Flamie stopped Sejun.

“Alright. I’ll come back and pat you next time.”

Appreciating Flamie’s consideration, Sejun quickly stood up. As Flamie said, the time he could use the Enhanced Flame of Affinity was running out.

Soon after Sejun hurriedly left to utilize the enhanced Flame of Affinity on the 85th floor,

[Hehe, I almost got caught].

Flamie began to grow in earnest.

Koogoogung

A single tree root appeared in the sky of the 98th floor as the entire 99th floor of the tower shook.

“Guys, come out.”

Upon reaching the 85th floor using the waypoint, Sejun opened the void storage and called for Theo and Cuengi.
