But he pointed to the ground instead…
“Down” The Heavenly Deo down”
“The roots! These roots are the ood foundation,” the Thunder God lectured angrily As he spoke, he hit Seo Jun-Ho’s head with his cane “Ya little rascal, did I not just say that the roots are the most important parts?”
“Dammit”
“Dammit? Dammit?”
Seo Jun-Ho scratched his head and ju, so what the heck is this?”
“What do ya mean? It’s trainin’,” the Thunder God immediately said
Seo Jun-Ho held up his other hand, holding a large deodeok[2] “How is digging up deodeoks training?”
“Did I tell ya to just dig the them carefully, so ya won’t hurt the roots There’s yer trainin’”
“We’re just doing chores!”
“No!” The Thunder God scolded “The pickled deodeok ya eat every day is dug up frorateful every tiet to eat it, but…” Seo Jun-Ho trailed off He was grateful every tiiven a meal here However, he was already pressed for ti useful
‘So what the heck is this’ </e up deodeoks for three hours straight, ever since
“Look at Geon-Woo Look at hoell he’s digging them without complaint”
“”
Since he had put it like that, Seo Jun-Ho had nothing to say Baek Geon-Woo was carefully using the hoe, digging up the herbs with all his heart and soul
“You said this is training Then can you explain what exactly we’re training here?” Seo Jun-Ho asked
“Yer balance, stareat s”
“How does that even…” Just as Seo Jun-Ho was about to refute him, he stopped

Out of all the Players in the world, he was nearly the strongest[3] His time was precious Would he really waste his precious ti nonsense like this?
‘No, he’s not a normal person Actually…’
Seo Jun-Ho looked around The hill they were on was steep Most people would have trouble si on it
‘Wait!’
He compared his deodeoks to Baek Geon-Woo’s
‘They’re different’
Their roots were different All his deodeoks had some of their roots cut off, but Baek Geon-Woo only had a few that were slightly daed If they were to sell them at a wholesale rade
“I see”
Thedown on such a steep hill i up deodeoks without rest, it would i theet severed would improve concentration
Seo Jun-Ho finally understood the Thunder God’s deepand nodded
“I’m sorry I understand now”
“Hm, impressive” The Thunder God nodded sternly as he stood with his cane
After that, Seo Jun-Ho poured all his focus into digging the deodeoks
‘I have to le as well as with the strength ofout each root’ </eotten sunburnt, and he was dripping cold sweat
“Faster! Ya’ll spend all day diggin’ deodeoks at this rate!”
“Too slow! Even kindergarteners could dig them up at that speed!”
The Thunder God hit them with rebukes and orders Three more hours passed, and it beca the worked up again “Yer body is not tremblin’ even as ya crouch, and each strike of the hoe is careful And this deodeok has no flaws or daes… It’s perfect!”
“I did it”
“Good Very good!” The Thunder God patted Seo Jun-Ho’s sweat-soaked shoulders
Just then, Baek Geon-Woo stood up, having finished harvesting all the deodeoks into his basket “Master, I dug them all”
“Hm? Y’re already done? Ah, I suppose it went faster with the two of ya Chores always go faster with more people”
“Excuse me? Chores…?”
“Ahem”
The Thunder God disappeared in a flash Seo Jun-Ho stared blankly at where the for
He turned to see Baek Geon-Woo’s bitter sht?” he asked
“”
Should he tell a white lie or go with the dark truth? Baek Geon-Woo closed his eyes as he pondered his decision However, his hesitation seemed to have become a sufficient answer for Seo Jun-Ho He looked forlornly at the hillside, which had becoh it’s not training?” Seo Jun-Ho asked
“If eren’t able to harvest the” Baek Geon-Woo cleared his throat and bowed his head He placed his basket over his head and disappeared with short and quick steps
