While Theo was handling the aftermath of rescuing Uren,
“Alright, it’s up to 50 gulps now.”
Sejun was squeezing juice into the All-Devouring Jelly Seed with Cuengi.
Even crops that were almost devoid of moisture obediently released their juices in front of the Cuengi the Juicer.
Feeding the growth elixir to the All-Devouring Jelly Seed alongside the squeezed juice, it reached 70 gulps, and the seed had grown to the size of a small walnut.
‘Alright. Once Park Sejun wakes up, the second event of the Harvest Festival, the grape eating competition, will begin.’
Uncle, the God of Grapevines, looked toward the center of the headquarters in anticipation of the upcoming grape eating competition.
Having heard about Sejun’s situation in detail through Podori, Uncle discarded all the grapes prepared for the competition and made new ones.
Initially, he had planned to offer seedless grapes for beginners, which had no stat-boosting effects and were simply tasty.
But wouldn’t Park Sejun get angry at that?
Already being on Sejun’s bad side once, Uncle decided to be careful.
So, he used a lot of divine power to hurriedly replace the prepared grapes with better ones.
Of course, thanks to the large amount of divine power he received from the first competition, he wasn’t running low.
With this event, I will make up for all my mistakes with Park Sejun!
The reward for this competition would be incredibly tasty grapes with great effects, so Uncle’s confidence was sky-high.
“Alright. Since I’m in such a good mood, how about shouting ‘Trust-in-Park’ together?!”
“Alright! Let’s shout it until the competition begins!”
As the other non-combat gods responded to Uncle’s suggestion, preparing to shout ‘Trust-in-Park’ together,
“Cuengi, you’re eating so much! Have you finally decided to bulk up and become a warrior…?! Ack! I got blocked again!”
They heard the frustrated cry of Thunder, the God of Storms, who couldn’t resist Bev’s words to be patient and tried to talk to Cuengi, only to get blocked, from beyond the wall.
“…Ahem. Should we do it later?”
“Maybe. Now that I think about it, I’m a bit thirsty.”
“Let’s go grab some water.”
The non-combat gods went to drink water and returned about three hours later.
They started chanting louder and louder, gauging the reactions from beyond the wall.
Morning of the 4th day of the Harvest Festival.
Sejun, who had slept well again today, opened his eyes.
[Due to the Blessing of a Single Stream of Magic Power, your Magic Power increases by 3 for one hour.]
My magic power is rising even though I’m doing nothing.
The messages showing his rising magic power overnight made Sejun feel good.
Others might have gained more, but for the sake of his mental health, Sejun didn’t bother worrying about others’ magic power.
Feeling something heavy pressing on his chest, Sejun looked down.
His shirt bulging as if about to tear on the right side, and Blackie, who had been pushed to Sejun’s left chest, barely clinging on and drooling while sleeping.
When Sejun looked inside his shirt,
Wasn’t it just 98 gulps and about the size of a golf ball yesterday?
Now, it had grown into a watermelon-sized All-Devouring Jelly Seed, with its name and size having changed.
Sejun quickly pulled the seed out from his shirt and checked its description.
→ You can check the options after harvesting.
→ It has swallowed water, honey, sugarcane juice… World Tree Sapling Nutrient, and World Tree Mature Tree Nutrient.
→ The seed’s growth enthusiasm is extraordinary.
→ Please plant it quickly before its motivation falters!
“Huh? What’s World Tree Sapling Nutrient and World Tree Mature Tree Nutrient?”
Sejun saw two types of items he hadn’t fed it.
As Sejun was pondering who might have fed the items he didn’t,
[Master, you need to plant the seed quickly!]
“That’s right. This isn’t the time to be standing around.”
He needed to plant the seed before its will to grow diminished.
Sejun hurriedly opened the Void Storage and went inside to plant the seed.
[You have planted the All-Devouring Jelly Seed into the body of Alice, the Mesmerizing Spider and 9th seat of the Apostle of Destruction.]
As soon as the seed was planted, a sprout rapidly shot up. The sprout thickened and quickly grew taller.
In no time, it transformed into a 3-meter tall tree.
[As a reward for achieving the great feat of creation, your stay fees on the 0th floor of the Black Tower are reduced by 5%.]
A message announcing his feat of creation appeared.
Good. Now the cost of going home has been reduced by 17%.
Although he didn’t plan on going home anytime soon since he had just recently been there, reducing the cost of visiting home was always good news.
Sejun’s eyes caught sight of jelly-like objects resembling ping pong balls hanging from the All-Devouring Jelly Tree.
[Honey-Flavored Growth Elixir Jelly], [Watered-Down World Tree Sapling Nutrient Jelly], [Carrot Grape Green Onion Jelly], and so on.
The jellies came in various colors, combining ingredients Sejun had fed the seed. Most had two ingredients mixed, and occasionally, some had three.
It doesn’t use the same ingredients repeatedly.
While examining the jellies, Sejun confirmed that there were no jellies containing the same ingredient.
[You’re a Field Lv. 6 has been activated, dealing additional damage.]
Sejun checked the options of the Black Bean Medicinal Mugwort Sugarcane Jelly he harvested.
→ A jelly made from Transcendence Black Beans (+2), Medicinal Mugwort, and Sugarcane.
→ Upon consumption, all stats increase by 50.
→ Lifespan increases by 7.5 months.
→ It is slightly sweet with a subtle bitterness.
→ Expiration Date: 7 days
Sejun was astonished as he looked at the options.
The effect of +20 to all stats and +3 months lifespan from the Medicinal Mugwort was increased by 2.5 times due to the Transcendence Black Bean.
The bitterness of the Medicinal Mugwort seemed to have been masked by the sweetness of the sugarcane, which had been enhanced by the Transcendence Black Bean.
Sejun immediately put the Black Bean Medicinal Mugwort Sugarcane Jelly into his mouth.
True to its jelly nature, the texture was chewy, and the more he chewed, the sweeter it became.
[All stats increase by 50.]
[Your lifespan increases by 7.5 months.]
To think I could eat Medicinal Mugwort and not pass out!
Overjoyed, Sejun was about to harvest more jellies when—
[Participants who wish to join the competition, please gather in front of the Bountiful Grape Cluster Altar.]
