When I Returned to Farming, National-level Big Juniors Flock - Chapter 108



Only Krnovel

108. Growth

Oh Hyeon-seong, who was able to see the state of objects or things after being exposed to the relics,

Since then, he has often discovered crops in his fields emitting a pure white light.

It is not a crop that simply neutralizes the turbid energy in the body by receiving the spirit’s energy and produces the same taste as in the past.

Special crops that have completely different effects than existing crops, almost like another ‘relic’.

The effect was truly something that defied common sense.

Eating rice restores stamina and heals wounds more quickly, and eating potatoes increases the hunter’s magic power.

This is a secret that would turn the whole world upside down if only this fact were revealed.

However, it was not without limitations.

Even in his now spacious field, they were found very rarely and in extremely small numbers.

The absolute amount is too small to cause a destructive ripple effect that could change the entire hunter industry.

There are also some limitations in terms of quality.

The effects of permanently increasing magic power or strength were truly amazing, but it was difficult to see any significant increase or decrease effects for top-tier hunters like Oh Hyeon-seong.

But it seemed that those ‘some limitations’ would no longer be effective.

“…What is this?”

Oh Hyeon-seong, standing there blankly, looked at the field.

The sight of a field shining from all sides,

Every single crop, without exception, was shining in pure white.

‘Are all these special crops?’

Oh Hyeon-seong took a few steps closer, knelt down, and inspected the crops.

Then, it was confirmed that it was a crop that not only glowed on the outside, but also had special effects that were truly rare or higher.

Although I had hoped that this would increase the yield of special crops, I never dreamed that the entire field would become like this.

The power of the national treasure weapon exceeded his expectations.

It is not something to be underestimated in the combat sector where it was originally used, but it is far beyond that in the agricultural sector.

‘It’s not just the quantity that has improved. It’s also the quality.’

Most of the special crops that came out of the field during that time were rare grades in terms of status.

I’ve only seen a handful of unique grade crops.

But surprisingly, it is now easy to discover.

As Oh Hyeon-seong inspected the field, he noticed that out of the ten growing crops, one or two continued to have unique grades.

It was a truly astonishing proportion compared to before.

This is because the overall quality itself has improved thanks to the fertile soil.

And, just in case, I finally found the crop I was looking for.

[potato]

[Rank – Epic (7)]

[When consumed, gain 3750 magic power.]

[A top-grade potato that can only grow in a perfect environment. It contains enormous magical power.]

“oh…”

An exclamation of admiration escaped Oh Hyeon-seong’s mouth as he watched.

It was the first time I had seen a special crop of epic grade, and its stats were on a whole other level.

From what he remembered, rare grade potatoes increased the average amount of horsepower by about 15, while unique grade potatoes increased it by about 75.

Although it varies from individual to individual, the difference is as much as 5 times.

But now, the difference of one step is on a completely different level.

The difference was a whopping 50 times, 3750, so the difference between the previous grade special crops and the epic grade was as big as the probability of their appearance.

‘Honestly, I’m looking forward to this too?’

It was incredible that the amount of magical power that others had difficulty increasing could be increased just by eating potatoes.

Even just one rare grade potato could have a big effect on the new hunters below.

But that’s just their story.

To Oh Hyun-seong, a single potato meant absolutely nothing.

Oh Hyun-seong, whose magical power was so overwhelming, had not even noticed when he ate glowing potatoes.

But this time it was completely different.

Although the exact chest size could not be determined based on the numbers written here, it would have been a significant amount of magical power for Oh Hyeon-seong.

“What is that?”

Just then, a red fox appeared and sniffed around on his shoulder.

Blea, who saw the potatoes and tasted them, waved her front paw.

“I want to have a bite too.”

“No, bear with it.”

“You won’t give me even a single fatal bite?”

“What can’t be done can’t be done.”

Oh Hyun-seong packed the potatoes that were emitting light.

It’s not that I feel bad about sharing it, but I can’t just use up an epic grade crop that I’ve never seen before.

I had to accurately estimate how effective this one pill was, and also figure out how effective it was in terms of taste and neutralizing turbidity.

Of course, the current distribution was unusual, so he thought that this would not be the end of the epic crops, and he walked around the entire field to check the condition of the crops.

*

“It feels like I’m back to basics after a long time.”

Oh Hyun-seong returned home and sat in front of the table muttering.

What was placed in front of him was a well-boiled potato.

It was the only top-quality potato I had gathered from the field, and I could tell that it was unusual just by looking at it without having to lean on the status screen.

The potato theme has this much presence.

‘…Should I try it?’

Oh Hyun-seong, who was feeling a little nervous, stretched out his arm.

He brought a halved potato to his mouth, smoking it.

Turup!

“…!”

The potatoes tasted as great as I expected.

It’s amazing how it tastes this good without any special cooking or adding anything like salt.

But even as he felt such a deep taste, his nerves were turned elsewhere.

The first epic-grade crop you eat.

As he was trying to find out how effective it would be, he ate all the remaining potatoes and closed his eyes for a moment to focus on the changes in his body.

Tsk tsk tsk!

‘… indeed.’

I feel the magical power inside my body increasing.

It wasn’t just that I could sense the slight changes like before, but the magical power had increased so much that I didn’t even have to pay attention to it.

I can’t believe it’s this level of feeling.

Oh Hyeon-seong, who has a special constitution, was able to see a greater magical power expansion effect than when he absorbs the soul of an S-rank boss monster and turns it into magical power.

Considering that it is a return with no risk, this is an absolutely ridiculous number.

“Hoo…”

Oh Hyun-seong exhaled, having made the new magic completely his own.

“I can definitely tell… the effect.”

He placed his hand on his lower abdomen and slowly got up from his seat.

I had high hopes for the potatoes I just ate, as they had worked better than expected.

Potatoes weren’t the only thing he brought home from the field.

By going around the entire field and collecting epic grade crops, I was able to obtain a harvest of several species.

Each of them is a special crop with its own powerful effects.

In particular, the area that saw the greatest improvement in soil quality from this major sword was the cabbage field located in the center.

Thanks to the direct influence of Theranos, a national treasure, the quality of the soil has dramatically improved, receiving the effects of soil superior to any other field.

Not only did it have the highest percentage of top-grade cabbages, but it also had two epic-grade cabbages.

First of all, the effect of cabbage as a special crop was a permanent increase in muscle strength.

It was something that increased muscle strength, just like potatoes permanently increased magical power, and the amount by which the values ​​increased for each level was similar to potatoes.

The fact that the efficiency is maximized at the epic level is also similar to that of potatoes, and the effect of this top-quality cabbage will be as strong as the potato you just ate.

However, Oh Hyun-seong decided not to eat the cabbage right away.

Because I was planning to make and eat kimchi.

*

Crunchy!

“Hmm… I guess so.”

Oh Hyun-seong nodded repeatedly at the taste of the crunchy kimchi in his mouth.

Is there anything more fundamental to Korean culture than kimchi?

I can guarantee that just by getting away from cheap synthetic kimchi and eating real kimchi, your happiness in life will increase several times over.

But the kimchi he just tasted was made using epic-grade cabbage, and while the side dishes weren’t epic, they were the best they could find.

I wasn’t the type to dislike eating raw cabbage, but I was curious to see what it would taste like if I made pickled cabbage, so I got to work right away, and sure enough, it was delicious.

I was so busy that I tore it open and ate it several times without even having a bite to eat.

“No, you can’t do that.”

He barely nodded and placed a piece of kimchi into a jar.

One was to be cooked and eaten, and the other was to be eaten immediately with the meal.

He smiled with satisfaction as he prepared the kimchi.

‘My kimchi-making skills are pretty good. I’m glad I practiced until now.’

In the past, he used to just buy kimchi and eat it all the time.

In a world where only terrible tasting ingredients are overflowing due to the influence of the atmosphere, it was natural that he did not feel the need to take the time out of his busy schedule to eat gimchi.

He is a person who lives off of the pleasure of eating now, but in the past, he didn’t feel any excitement about eating and just ate to survive.

But then he came to Changyeong-ri and made kimchi himself, and thanks to that, even though the ingredients were good at first, the result was a mess.

After becoming an adult, I didn’t have any family to teach me recipes, and making kimchi was more difficult than I thought.

But after some trial and error.

Now, his kimchi-making skills have improved considerably, and the results can come to fruition with the best ingredients.

But even in the face of such a fantastic taste, he put off tasting it for a moment and started working on something else.

Another epic harvest, the soybeans that have begun to be used to make meju.

As a specialty crop, beans brought about a permanent increase in agility, and the numbers were similar to those of cabbage and potatoes.

This could have been eaten as is, but Oh Hyeon-seong planned to make a new sauce.

Having lived self-sufficiently in Changyeong-ri, I have come to realize the importance of basic bases and sauces, so I plan to make several chapters with the best ingredients available.

‘I’ve gotten a rough idea of ​​how effective it will be, so from now on it’s a long-term battle.’

It’s likely that today won’t be the last day that epic-grade crops will appear.

I thought that even if it wasn’t much, it would come out steadily in small amounts, and I planned to make full use of it to see the effects.

Thud!

Oh Hyun-seong headed to the warehouse and took out his training weight bag after a long time.

He took out pouches that were much heavier than the ones he had used before for rehabilitation and fastened them to his body one by one.

“Whew… Whew…”

A weight that is almost murderous for a human being to bear.

Although he felt even heavier because he had been busy eating and playing for a while, Oh Hyeon-seong moved his body without any change in his face.

*

“He’s not at home. Where are you?”

Joo Ji-hye muttered while walking along the mountain path.

She had some time to spare after having a fun time dealing with her recently packed schedule, so she stopped by Changyeong-ri, but there was no one in the house, and even though she sat alone and waited for quite some time, he did not return.

And then, as she was heading towards the reservoir, thinking that it might be there, she was able to spot the back of Oh Hyeon-seong standing alone.

“What, what is this…”

Along with cliffs covered with huge marks that make you wonder if they were actually left by humans.

“S… Master?”
