The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor

Volume 58, Chapter 4 - Companion (Part 2)

Weed descended to the island and took out his farming tools.

A scythe and a hoe!

He cut down the overgrown grass and weeds, and turned the soil over.

It was not a barren field, having been covered entirely in grass, it took forever to extract all the pebbles.

5 hours, 10 hours.

The night set and the task continued.

He was digging the ground under the star light.

< You have acquired the Farming skill.

Farming allows the player to tap into the vital energy of the earth and experience a prosperous harvest!

It is a skill awarded only to the diligent and hardworking.

The efficiency of fertilizers increased by 10%.

Stamina used in farming is reduced.

Crops grow 1% faster. >

He now opened the Farming skill as well.

“I’m truly an unspecialized character.”

He didn’t plant any crops, but he had already invested 14 hours into cutting down grass.

“This is something well worth my time.”

Weed stretched his back once and continued cutting the grass and filtering out the pebbles.

Then he was hit with a sudden realization; that this island was huge and it would take months to rid the island of weeds and plant flowers and trees!

“Sincerity is important… but isn’t this a little too much?”

Weed felt the need to think outside the box.

“Catastrophic Nature Sculpting Technique!”

Weed boldly caused a catastrophe.

Swirl-swirl!

Three tornadoes formed from the sea and approached the island.

“Wipe everything out!”

The pillars connecting the sky and the sea crossed one another and unleashed havoc on the island. Even Weed had to hold tight on a rock planted deep into the ground to guard against the powerful catastrophe.

The grass and trees were uprooted in an instant, so the pebbles stood no chance.

Wooooosh!

The tornadoes resided on the island and overturned the environment.

< Affinity with nature has been reduced by 2 points. >

“Now we’re talking.”

He flattened out the ruined soil and spread the seeds. He planted the flower tree seeds deep in the ground and spread the other seeds wide overnight.

The labor continued over several days and nights.

Drizzle-drizzle.

Rain couldn’t stop him from the planting of his precious seeds.

His past was nothing but fierce competition and now the future burdened him with huge responsibilities on his shoulders.

‘Now that I am the world’s most wealthy and powerful man, how should I live from now on?’

Succeeding Professor Yoo Byung Joon and becoming the CEO of the Unicorn Corp was totally unexpected. Honestly, he was afraid and felt pressured; it had become a heavy burden that disrupted his sleep.

‘Just enough wealth so I don’t have to worry about money would have been nice.’

He didn’t know how he should use the overflowing wealth and power nor was he confident in using them correctly. One thing that was certain was that if he were to become a villain, the world would turn into a painful place.

‘Let’s just take it easy. No one is good at something right when they’re born, and I’m a better candidate than those politicians who lie every chance they get.’

He planned out the rest of his life while planting seeds at the island.

Instead of being in pain from the pressure, he chose to live spontaneously!

‘The light green sprouts and the ocean tides really do relax the mind.’

Nothing more could be done after trying and putting one’s best effort into something that still didn’t work out.

After a week, he had planted his entire inventory of seeds.

With the effects of his Insight and Manual Dexterity, he was easily able to reach Novice Level 6 in Farming.

“Now all that’s left for me to do is wait.”

He gazed far out to the sea and unwound his fishing rod.

The soft slaps of the ocean tides, the wind and the clear sky made this the perfect place for the most important moment of his life.

After about a month, flowers bloomed and covered the lonely island, dying the ground a flurry of colors.

Weed ordered Wyvern3 that was feasting on crabs and fish.

“Go and bring Seoyoon.”

- Understood, master.

Wyvern3 spread its wings and took off to the sea.

Weed glanced down at the blooming flowers and pondered.

‘It’s so beautiful now that the flowers have blossomed. I lived for so long without having ever experienced these parts of the world. I understand why people love flowers.’

For about two minutes, his sentimentality washed away his hardships. A further 3 minutes and 20 seconds passed and he was no longer touched by the rich scent of flowers.

‘They’re pretty, sure. But, the half-half chicken I had a while back is better.’

His sensitivity dried out almost immediately!

Five more minutes passed.

‘To hell with flowers… I should have planted grains. Grape trees are alright too. Maybe sweet potatoes are better. I need to harvest something for it to be profitable.’

Weed watched over the island of flowers and whispered.

“Wyvern3 is on its way. Don’t ask what this is about. Just hop on and head over.”

- Seoyoon: Okay.

He called Seoyoon, who was overseeing the reconstruction of Morata, to the island. contemporary romance

After much sewing during the wait, Wyvern3 appeared in the western sky.

- Kuuuat!

On the back of Wyvern3 was Seoyoon. She spoke as she touched the ground.

“Did something happen?”

“Mmm… So…”

Weed’s plan was falling apart from the start. His plan was to approach her while she admired the beautiful flower fields and tell her that he planted them just for her!

Seoyoon expectedly disregarded the flowers and approached him to ask if anything was wrong.

‘Just stick to the plan.’

Weed decided to push through.

“I planted these flowers because I wanted to tell you something.”

“Tell me what?”

“Yeah. There were only a handful of flowers on this island when I got here. I planted them all for you.”

“All these flowers…”

Seoyoon rarely had any dating experience and was insensible, but she knew the meaning of such an atmosphere. Full blossoms of flowers. Beautiful scenery that hadn’t been created by chance.

“Marry me. Would you live the rest of your life with me?”

Weed thought Seoyoon would contemplate; to eat together, waking up in the same bed every morning and growing old together. It was the decision of her life.

Seoyoon nodded.

“Yeah. Let’s be together.”

***

Lee Hyun organized a wedding that would not exactly be quiet.

“It needs to be a little rowdy.”

Then again, to host it at a hotel, it was difficult for his neighbors to visit.

Lee Hyun’s social network was mostly the people in his neighborhood!

“I don’t know what to do. I wish people could come freely, eat, have fun and congratulate us.”

- Understood. I will proceed with the arrangements.

He assigned the wedding preparations to the AI. He had the ability to shake the national economy, and a wedding preparation couldn’t be more difficult than that.

- Title: It must be a grand wedding.

A beautiful wedding within a month.

Budget is unlimited.

Any location can be booked. (The Blue House, government building, aircraft carrier, space orbit if necessary)

Must be an elegant, classy, luxurious and exciting wedding that can host all the neighbors.

We are taking submissions for great ideas.

The chosen contestant will be awarded with 10 million dollars.

For some reason, this post remained at the very top of the search engines.

The comment section was lit.

- 10 million for one idea? Does that make any sense?

- They say the neighborhood charges 50 million for lunch. Don’t be thrown off.

- It didn’t mention that the money will be in Korean currency.

- Well… I’m 5 years into my marriage and my advice is think again and just don’t get married unless you really have to.

- What are you saying to someone who’s going to have a wedding?

- Why are you against marriage?

- Don’t question it! Just don’t do it!

- I recommend a banquet hall for the wedding. They take care of everything.

- The budget is unlimited… They should go for the most luxurious place! Let’s go to Hawaii.

- A Luxurious-Elegant-Hyper-Super-Ultra level wedding ceremony would be in New York’s Central Park.

- A wedding just needs good parking space and delicious food. I propose rib soup.

- Some buffets have great food too.

- Based on my experience, the hotels that serve steak are the best.

- Noodle soup is amazing.

- It’s king crab season.

- Marinated beef ribs are the best.

- It’s my personal preference, but I love it when there is rice cake.

After a list of food, the subject backtracked to the location.

- 1 vote for a hotel.

- The neighbors have to come around, so let’s go to a banquet hall to keep it simple.

- His own place is a great choice too. I heard it’s a house.

- What about the back hill?

- It’s like a dream, but if it was up for me to decide, I would do it in Royal Road. It would be a spectacle to host it in the King’s palace with all the guests.

- There was a couple who got married in the Grass Porridge Cult. I heard all the guests are served grass porridge.

The AI assessed the reaction of the players for every idea. Then it selected the idea that would please Lee Hyun and Seoyoon the most.

- How about a park with a nice grass field in the neighborhood. Then the people can stop by freely and the hotel chefs can cook the food. The couple then live happily ever after and friends congratulate them. A wedding doesn’t have to be so fancy.

The idea for a park wedding was chosen.

Lee Hyun had handed out the invitation letters that he had prepared himself, readying himself for the day of the wedding. The day had come and personnel from the broadcast stations who heard the news had begun to arrive.

As a collective of the company, they each had to prepare a present and congratulatory fees.

“Congratulations on your wedding.”

“Thank you for attending.”

Lee Hyun smiled brightly as he greeted Chief Kang and the other folks from the broadcast station. The chief executives from not just from local stations but broadcast stations abroad were also attending, drawn in by Lee Hyun’s overwhelming influence.

The bureau chief Yoon Chang Sun of CTS Media spoke reservedly.

“Our broadcast station prepared a considerable amount of congratulatory money. We thought you would need a luxury car.”

“Of course. Thank you so much.”

Lee Hyun accepted with a smile. Not too long ago, he was greedy for the money, but that wasn’t the case anymore. Even though he had a great desire for money, he now possessed wealth that was incomparable to anyone.

< I won’t be accepting any congratulatory fees, I am content just by your presence. >

He even included such a comment in his invitational letters.

“It’s not some ordinary event, it’s your wedding. How much should I put in? 10 million won?”

“Won’t he think you looked down on him with just that?”

“Maybe. Then I need to spend more. Just how much more?”

“How about appliances?”

“I sent all that stuff last holiday season.”

The broadcast stations did not think badly of Lee Hyun’s greed for money.

He took what he could but also returned in some way.

The problem was the competition going on with the other stations.

“Let’s allocate loads from the production budget.”

“Sure. It’s the emperor of Versailles. We must do anything to flatter this man.”

Each station brought forth a bag of gifts and money, but unlike the past, Lee Hyun was not satisfied. Yoon Chang Sun was irritated.

“His voice did not turn furtive nor did his mouth dance like before. Maybe he doesn’t know how much we put in!”

“We did make implications.”

“What if we had to bring more?”

While the personnels were making deductions, there was a small commotion that sparked at the tent set up as the bride’s waiting room.

Lee Hyojung.

She, who was well known as Bellot in Royal Road, put makeup on Seoyoon.

“So pretty. How can you be this gorgeous?”

Even though she was a beautiful actress herself, she was mesmerized by Seoyoon’s beauty.

“I can certify that you are truly beautiful.”

Hwaryeong from Royal Road also assisted in the embellishment of Seoyoon.

Even if it was a wedding held in some park, she brought her most precious accessories like her necklace and earrings.

“Thank you.”

“I want to film a movie right now. This face needs to be treasured.”

Once Seoyoon put on the diamond earrings from Jung Hyo Rin, her beauty had become like a raging fire.

Hers was a natural and elegant grace that matched her appearance flawlessly, accentuated dramatically by Lee Hyojung who was better than most experts in the field of makeup.

“The guys are going to flip when they see you. The girls too I bet.”

Seoyoon in a clean white dress was like an angel who descended on earth.

The wedding took place in simple fashion.

Lee Hyun and Seoyoon swore the oath in front of everyone and went around the park greeting the guests.

“Please, help yourself, sir.”

“Yeah, thank you for the food. Ha-ha-ha.”

The neighbors, merchants and the broadcast station officials each crowded together on their own, jaws dropping to the ground at the sight of Seoyoon.

Embellished with beautiful makeup and a white dress, she was truly a goddess.

“My student, we are here.”

Ahn Hyundo, the instructors and the apprentices stampeded over. Over 500 tanned muscular men joined the scene.

“Welcome, master and brothers!”

“The cooking smells amazing.”

“Eat as much as you want.”

They each took a seat and began eating and drinking.

With the sizzling barbeque as the start, the chefs of hotels 5 stars and above were put to work.

“The meat just melts in my mouth.”

“What is this? It seems like an expensive dish. The colors are nice.”

“The meat will turn cold. Everyone, focus on the pork!”

“Yes!”

“We will finish the pork, and then move on to the beef.”

“I starved for two days!”

They concentrated on stuffing as much meat as possible into their mouths rather than appreciate the fine dining cuisine available.

Anyone could stop by and eat for free on this day.

Lee Hyun inherited so much wealth he did not have to concern himself with saving money now, but aside from that, today was a day where he wasn’t to be stingy.

The best chefs were called and instructed by Lee Hyun.

“Use the best ingredients.”

“Roger that.”

“Especially the salt. You can use the most expensive salts.”
