SSS-Grade Cafe in Front of The Dungeon

Choi Yichan said that while he was running, he bought some fruit at a stall. Fortunately, he had received the flyer and handed it to me.

The name is a bit unusual, but it looks like an ordinary fruit shop ….

Is there such a thing as the Purifying Tree in a place like this? Let’s go and see.

I thought it was a tree growing in the dungeon, of course, because the system wanted to throw me into the dungeon whenever there was a chance, but was it actually possible to buy it at a fruit shop?

However, perhaps because the flyer was made from recycled back paper, a completely different contents were printed on the back.

I was about to take notes of the phone number and fold the flyer, but when I saw the back, I was startled.

Yes, I should go to this farm.

The moment I saw the name of the farm, I suddenly remembered something that happened before the regression.

It was a story from a TV show. It’s the story of a botanist who is fascinated by the plant ecosystem of Dungeon. After awakening, she threw everything away and only immersed herself in researching dungeon plants.

It may seem somewhat vague to say this, but the actual broadcast treated her like a ‘Martian‘ or a ‘Venusian‘.

In short, she was treated like a freak.

It wasn’t a very interesting subject, but I was sucked into it with proper trailer fishing and provocative editing and watched it until the end.

It was something like this….

[]

This is the Hunter Market’s consignment shop area where numerous items are traded.

It’s crowded with hunters who want to buy items at low prices, but the Venusian is interested elsewhere.

The Venusian who scanned the surroundings quickly stopped at one place.

“How much is this?”

What the Venusian pointed to is … a seed?

“What did you just buy?”

“Dungeon arrowroot, Green Etheric Toothed Carrot Seed.”

“It … Isn’t that a plant monster?”

“No. They’re often mistaken for monsters, but they’re all ordinary plants.”

A Venusian who calls carrots with sharp teeth an ordinary plant.

The place where she headed with the seeds of the monster is home to the Venusian.

“What are you doing with these monster seeds?”

“Of course I’m going to grow it.”

You raise a plant monster?

The Venusian takes the frightened PD Kim to the greenhouse.

“This place has the same ether, temperature, and humidity as inside the dungeon. Any dungeon plant can grow perfectly here.”

It’s filled with toothed carrot and orchids with blades like razor.

“Isn’t it creepy to see them like this?”

“Fufu, aren’t they cute?”

“What are the benefits of growing this?”

Does it have any special effect? PD Kim, who claimed that he’s not in good health due to continuous overtime work these days, is interested.

“Yeah? Can’t I just grow them? They’re cute.”

“Aren’t you afraid?”

A Venusian who pours etheric water into a flowerpot and takes care of them with care.

One of them has finally bloomed.

“I worked really hard to grow this.”

Ugh, this is a flower?

“It seems to resemble …. human head.”

“It’s called a hair flower. Look. Isn’t it pretty? Touch it.”

PD Kim carefully stretches out his hand.

Kwak!

“Argh! Aaaaah! It bit me!”

Crack!

“Argh! Let go of me! Save me!”

…….

The last scene was the PD running away with his hand bitten by a flower that resembles a human head.

After that, they were criticized a lot for promoting the Dungeon Farm, and eventually, the “Secret of the Venusians” program, which introduces unique hunters, ended.

It was obvious that this Happy Green Life Dungeon Farm was on the program.

‘It’s a place where human hair flower is grown, so it’s not strange to have a Purifying Tree too.’

But I remember that this farm was closed later … it must have been a big event because it was a hot topic, but what was it?

Well, I can’t remember the reason for the closing.

Anyway, it looks like it’s still open, and I got a hint, so let’s go check it out.

***

In front of an ordinary apartment complex. Happy Green Life Fruit Shop was there.

“How much is a basket of apples here?”

“Five thousand won.”

The stall was quite crowded with customers looking to buy fruits on their way home from work. I approached the owner, who was holding fruit in a plastic bag with an indifferent look on her face, and spoke to her.

“Excuse me, where should I go to get to Happy Green Life Dungeon Farm?”

This is because there was no farm around the fruit stall. The address written on the flyer is here for sure….

“Go that way.”

The fruit shop owner pointed to a certain place. It was a bonus to see all kinds of unusual people.

As I turned my head, I saw a signboard saying ‘Farm’ in a position that seemed to be covered by bushes, next to the narrow path leading to the mountain behind.

“Ugh….”

The joy of finally finding it is for a momentarily.

As soon as I entered the trail, I could feel the hot air. In addition, toothed carrots and razor-blades orchids were grown on both sides, creating a very eerie atmosphere.

Shush, shoo, shush, shush…..

There seems to be a strange noise coming from somewhere….

If I had known it would be like this, I would have come with Choi Yichan. I regretted belatedly that I said I would go alone because I could go in vain.

I climbed up the creaking stairs and went into the farm. The stifling air was full of unique smells and questionable plants, but I didn’t feel any sign of human’s activities.

“Excuse me, is there anyone here?”

There is no answer.

“Nobody here? I’d like to buy something.”

Is there no one here? The moment I’m thinking about going back disappointed.

Dudangtang!

There was a sound of something collapsing inside, and then a person rushed out.

“Uh, yes, what’s up? I paid the electricity bill last week.. The electricity really shouldn’t be cut off, but if you could wait a few more days … are you not here to collect the electricity bill?”

“Yes, I’m looking for some saplings.”

“Huk, are you a customer? Are you a guest? A visitor other than that filthy hunter … it’s the first time in a month, no, the first time in two months? Come this way, please come this way!”

The owner of the farm was almost the same as what I saw her on the broadcast before regression.

Only the lower part of her long hair was dyed green, and she wore a green jacket over a green satin skirt over her light green shirt. She wore green horn-rimmed glasses. It’s a clear concept-specific outfit….

Obviously the name….

“My name is Lee Chorok, the owner of this place. I’m a botanist. What are you looking for?”

Yeah, it was Chorok. Even the name matches.

“We are different from similar companies. You can choose the dungeon plant that is right for you, recommended by a Ph.D. holder through a scientific method. If you trust me, I will do my best to serve you.”

The leaflet given by Lee Chorok said, “Recommendation of Dungeon Plants by Blood Type” and “Today’s Fortune UP, Lucky Color Plants by Constellation”.

It has nothing to do with science.….

But from what she just said, it seems that there have been no customers for two months, is it really okay here?

Anyway, after returning the pseudo-science flyer, I took out the leaf of the purifying that had been in the bag with the fruit.

“I’m looking for this tree.”

As soon as Lee Chorok saw the leaf, she recognized what it was.

“Ah! It’s a Purifying Tree. There is a lot of fine dust these days. As the name suggests, the Purifying Tree has the effect of purifying the air, so it is recommended as a horticultural plant for home use. Just in time, there is a sapling that’s been airlifted from the C-grade dungeon … shall I show you?”

It was an eye full of anticipation and desperate sales.

When I nodded, Lee Chorok quickly led me to the sapling.

[Item: Sapling of the Purifying Trees (★☆☆☆☆)

Type: Sapling

The sapling of a young Purifying Tree. When planted, it gives off a delicate floral scent.]

The name of the status window is definitely Purifying Tree. I didn’t expect it to be so easy to find. The thought that this quest would be finished easily made me smile.

“How much is it?”

“It just so happens to be on sale! We are offering it for only 50 rubies at a special sale price.”

“….Eh.”

It’s more expensive than I thought.

I counted the rubies left in my inventory. Excluding the store sales, I spent 70 of them to buy various materials from the 100 I got from the last quest. Of those, 50 are almost all of them.

“Umh….”

Let’s go back and think about it slowly. There is no law that says you have to buy it now, and if you do well, you might be able to get it elsewhere.

“I’ll think about it more and come back.”

However, this dungeon botanist, Lee Chorok, seemed hesitant and quickly started adding options. It was formidable agility.

“Customer-nim! It’s not an easy tree to get. In some C-grade dungeons, it can only grow when the ether contained in the soil is biased towards the water attribute. It also has excellent air purification ability.”

“It’s a bit pricey though….”

“If you buy it now, we also provide an ether-fertilizer set for fast growth, a dedicated watering can, and gardening scissors as a bonus!”

“Well….”contemporary romance

“The first and second book of Growing Dungeon Plants that even elementary school students can understand is also included!”

On the cover with toothed carrots and hair flowers, ‘Author: Lee Chorok’ was written. It was like a self-published book.

“I’ll also give you two roots of toothed carrots! Absolutely special price! Great service!”

“No, that’s fine.”

Just the thought of a carrot with teeth gave me nightmares.

“I opened this farm with a pool of bank loans, and it’s been two months. … there was no customer but one strange hunter. They are all precious trees that I airlifted from the dungeon and raised.”

Yeah … I wouldn’t buy dungeon plants unless I had my own reasons.

“Electricity and water bills have been delayed for several months. If business doesn’t go like this … my sister, ah, she is the owner of the fruit shop in front of this farm. My sister said she would turn this place into a fruit shop.”

The fruit shop seems to be doing well.

“Ah, if this tree sapling doesn’t sell … I’ll die here alone like dust with the trees….”

An incredibly burdensome look swept over me.

The ability to erase the debt of mind was no joke. It was really hard to say ‘I’ll buy it next time‘ in front of those mournful eyes and sad TMI.

Well, it’s true that I need a Purifying Tree, and I got a lot of extra money, so I’ll just buy it.

“Then … I’ll buy it, give me this.”

“Please think of saving me, huk! Yes? Re-really? Are you buying this?”

Lee Chorok, who was squeezing tears with a sad expression, was pleased with my words.

“Huk, wait a minute. Right! While you wait, please take a look at the greenhouse.”

“No, I’m fine.”

“This way! You can look at it comfortably.”

Lee Chorok pushed me into the greenhouse of the farm and soon disappeared, saying that she will pack the sapling and miscellaneous items.

I shouted, “Please take out the carrots”, but it doesn’t seem to be heard. Basically, she seemed to have a personality that didn’t listen well to others.

A greenhouse full of strange-looking plants unfolded before my eyes.

It’s a little scary, but …. since it’s been a while, let’s take a look around.

‘If I don’t touch a human head flower, I’ll be fine.’

But I soon regretted this decision.
