“Ulrich, what’s over there, meow?!”

Theo, having arrived at the Black Orc’s camp, pointed to a tent and asked. He was drawn to the tent because of his front paws.

“Are you referring to that place? There’s a rock we found a few days ago when we were planting.”

“A rock, meow?”

“Yes. The rock is sharply shaped, so it seemed like it would be good for the Black Orc’s training, so we’ve been keeping it in the tent. Would you like to see it?”

“I do, meow!”

“Understood.”

Ulrich led Theo to the tent where the rock was.

“Here it is.”

Ulrich pointed to a 3-meter-sized gray rock inside the tent.

“Puhuhut. This is it, meow!”

Theo, placing his front paws on the rock, was certain. This is something that Chairman Park would be delighted with!

“Ulrich, give it to me, meow!”

“What? Yes! Take it.”

Ulrich, slightly startled by Theo’s request for the heavy rock, responded.

“Puhuhut. Thank you, meow!”

With that, Theo took the rock, put it in his bag, and then slept soundly in Ulrich’s barracks, while waiting for the hunters to arrive to sell them crops.

Krueng!

[You have to eat this now!]

Cuengi, as if sensing Sejun’s talent, pushed the bitter kudzu root towards him, demanding he eat it. It turned out Cuengi had gone to the western forest to dig up the kudzu roots that Sejun had planted in the corpses of the corrupted Ents and Tree Titan.

Sejun had originally planned to burn the enemies’ corpses along with the kudzu to prevent it from spreading, but Cuengi persuaded him not to. Thanks to that, Sejun could now eat the kudzu roots harvested by Cuengi as herbs, even on the 99th floor of the tower.

Even if the seeds were to spread, Sejun had a separate plan in mind for the kudzu in the western forest, so there was no need to worry.

“Okay.”

Unusually, today Sejun willingly followed Cuengi’s instruction. Sejun also wanted to experience the effect of ‘A Medicine That’s Bitter is Good for Stamina.’

Crunch.

“Ugh.”

Gulp.

Bearing the bitter taste, Sejun swallowed the kudzu root. The bitterness was bearable, after all.

And then,

[You have consumed a Sturdy Kudzu Root of Life.]

[Your Stamina increases by 20.]

[You have consumed a bitter medicine.]

[Talent: ‘A Medicine That’s Bitter is Good for Stamina’ is activated.]

[Your Stamina increases by 2.]

A message appeared indicating that an additional 2 points of stamina had been gained.

“Is this supposed to be 2?”

It felt more like a 5 to Sejun, who was surprised by the message indicating the level of bitterness he had just experienced.

If this is 2, what would 10 taste like? Sejun hoped he would never have to experience such extreme bitterness just for a 10 point increase in stamina.

Then,

Krueng! Krueng!

[There’s one more here!]

Cuengi, having accurately detected Sejun’s stamina increase, pulled out another kudzu root for a follow-up attack.

Krueng! Krueng!

[Eat this one right away too! It was effective when you ate it just now!]

Cuengi, having keenly observed the increase in Sejun’s stamina by 2 after eating the root, insisted. It seemed Cuengi was keeping a thorough check on Daddy’s health!
