Solo Farming In The Tower

TL: Hanguk

“Alright.”

Sejun opened his eyes.

And,

“Meow…”

Kking…

He picked up Theo and the Blackie family, who were still in dreamland, and went outside.

“It looks like it’s finally over.”

Now, even Sweetie can take a bit of a break.

Sejun looked toward the cave where Sweetie’s beehive was, which had been swarming with quite a number of Poisonous Honey Bees until just yesterday.

Indeed, not just anyone can be the leader.

Sejun felt sorry for Sweetie, completely forgetting that he was the chairman of Sejun Company, which had over a few million employees under its wing.

And then,

[The Cheongyang Chili Pepper of Agony is grateful for the farmer’s footsteps and lends its strength.]

[The effect of Great Blessing of the Crops (Master) activates, increasing the potential of your Agility stat from 5613 to 5623.]

He increased his potential while walking around the farm.

When he raised his stat potential once more,

Kueng!

[Good morning, Dad!]

Cuengi, who had just woken up and rushed to find his dad, greeted Sejun.

“Yeah. Did Cuengi sleep well?”

Kueng!

Cuengi answered as he clung to Sejun’s side.

When everyone who shared the power of <Power: Strength to Support Thirteen Handfuls of Sky> had gathered,

“Patrick~nim, is it okay to come now?”

Sejun asked Patrick, just in case Stella was on the first floor.

[Patrick, the God of Earth says it’s fine, as the Great Silver Dragon Stella Hisron is currently on the second floor of the tower.]

“Okay.”

After hearing Patrick’s answer,

“Guys, stick close.”

Sejun told his companions to gather to insrease the 100,000 strength needed to turn the key.

But,

“Meow…”

Kking…

Kueng!

Everyone except Cuengi was sleeping so there was no response.

Tap. Tap.

Sejun had no choice but to pick up each of the sleeping creatures and touch them to his body.

Then,

[The 11 divided powers combine into one, activating <Power: Strength to Support Thirteen Handfuls of Sky> for 13 seconds.]

[Strength increases by 1300%.]

The power was activated.

“Summon the door.”

Thud.

Sejun summoned the door leading to the 10th tower.

Click.

He inserted the key into the keyhole and turned it.

Creaaak.

He opened the door and stepped inside.

[You have arrived on the first floor of the 10th tower.]

As Sejun arrived on the first floor of the 10th tower,

Hap. Hap.

The Devourers, who were busily absorbing the energy of Destruction,

Poke. Poke.

and the Pioneers, who were diligently planting seeds, warmly welcomed him.

Neither Patrick nor Hamer was in sight.

“Wow. I’m already being treated like leftovers.”

Sejun felt a bit disappointed that neither Patrick nor Hamer had come to greet him.

[Patrick, the God of Earth tells you not to feel too upset.]

[Patrick, the God of Earth says he is currently monitoring the movements of Destruction through the tower’s administration system, and Hamer is busy making the Enhancing Elixir.]

Patrick explained to Sejun why they couldn’t come out to greet him.

“Alright, I understand.”

While Sejun was talking with Patrick,

Kiki!

Kya-kya!

The Devourers and Pioneers crowded around Sejun, excitedly telling him everything they had done during his absence, eager to receive his praise.

It had only been two days since they last saw him, but they seemed to have a lot to share.

“Okay, okay. Good job. You can tell the rest to your leader.”

Kking…

Sejun tossed the still-sleeping Blackie family over to the Devourers and Pioneers.

“Has a lot been gathered?”

He checked the amount of energy of Creation that had been collected so far.

-Currently possessed energy of Creation: 2.65 million L

Thanks to the energy of Destruction in Melpheus’ body, a significant amount had been gathered in just two days.

“So, what should I upgrade first?”

Sejun browsed through the upgrade list.

With plenty of resources at hand, he decided,

“I should go for the most expensive one first.”

Sejun selected the upgrade that required the most energy of Creation from the list.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“Install the Lighthouse of Creation that Burns Destruction.”

[Using 1 million L of energy of Creation to install the Lighthouse of Creation that Burns Destruction.]

[Beginning installation of the Lighthouse of Creation that Burns Destruction.]

[Installation will take 10 days to complete.]

[Installation period can be reduced by 1 day using 100,000 L of energy of Creation.]

[Would you like to use energy of Creation to reduce the installation period?]

A message appeared in response to Sejun’s words.

“No.”

Of course not. It’s not like it’s urgent.

Sejun began the lighthouse installation and then gave more orders.

“Enhance everything in the order of absorption power, processing capacity, repair speed, and durability, until the energy of Creation runs out.”

[Consuming 2,000 L of energy of Creation to increase the absorption power by 10%.]

[Consuming 5,000 L of energy of Creation to increase the processing capacity of the refining system by 10%.]

[Consuming 35,000 L of energy of Creation to increase the auto-repair speed of the tower by 10%.]

[Consuming 50,000 L of energy of Creation to increase durability by 10%.]

…

..

.

Sejun used up all the remaining energy of Creation to upgrade the basic abilities of the tower.

Once Sejun finished upgrading the 10th tower,

Kihem. Kking!

[Ahem. Your boss had an amazing adventure with Butler!]

Blackie, who had woken up at some point, was telling the story about defeating Mobius to the gathered Devourers and Pioneers.

Kiki!

Kya-kya!

The Devourers and Pioneers clapped enthusiastically with their leaves in response to Blackie’s words.

Sejun brought his hand to the mouths of the Pioneers, who were listening intently to Blackie’s story.

Ptoo. Ptoo.

[You have obtained a Destruction Pioneer Seed (+1).]

[Your job experience has slightly increased.]

[Your proficiency of Seed Harvesting Lv. 9 has slightly increased.]

…

..

.

Sejun collected the seeds that the Pioneers had been storing in their mouths.

Thanks to the Enhancing Elixir, for every 1 million Destruction Devourer Seeds planted, they had produced 2 new seeds, and now over 100 seeds had accumulated.

Sejun took those seeds and planted them.

[You have planted Destruction Pioneer Seed (+1) in soil imbued with refined energy of Destruction and Magic Power.]

[Your job experience has slightly increased.]

[Your proficiency of Magic Seed Sowing (Master) has slightly increased.]

…

..

.

He planted them again.

Crack.

As soon as the seeds were planted, the Pioneers grew rapidly.

Kya-kya?

Kya-kya!

As soon as they were born, they were dragged away by the veteran Pioneers to listen to Blackie’s heroic tale and

Kya-kya!

Kya-kya!

Quickly integrated into the group.

After planting all the Pioneer seeds, Sejun also sat at the very back, listening to Blackie’s story along with the Devourers and Pioneers.

Gororong.

Kurorong.

Theo and Cuengi had fallen asleep again on Sejun’s lap and side.

A peaceful morning.

A short while later,

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hehe. So, our Blackie family teamed up to teach Mobius a lesson, and big bro Theo, with his faith in the butler, summoned the Ultra-super-giant Butler to defeat Mobius!]

When Blackie finished the story saying that the Ultra-super-giant Chairman Park defeated Mobius

Kiki!

Kya-kya!

The Devourers and Pioneers looked at Sejun with eyes full of respect.

“Ahem.”

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Sejun cleared his throat and stood up.

But,

Hehehe.

Inside, he was quite pleased and feeling proud.

“Alright, let’s go.”

Kking! Kking! Kking!

[Everyone, farewell! Your boss will definitely return! Let’s meet again, alive!]

Blackie said a solemn goodbye to the Devourers and Pioneers at Sejun’s words.

“I’ll come again tomorrow.”

Though the dramatic effect was diminished at Sejun’s words.

***

Outskirts of Destruction.

“What the hell?! What’s going on here?!”

Jǫrmungandr, who had just been resurrected, was furious as he looked at the remaining troops while trying to command the calamities.

This was because, under Melpheus’ clumsy command, their forces had been reduced to less than half.

At that moment,

“Jǫrmungandr~nim!”

“You’ve finally awakened!”

“We’re so glad you’re back!”

Kraken, Hydra, and Leviathan, who were also serpents like Jǫrmungandr, came to greet him.

“Yes, but what the hell happened while I was gone?”

Jǫrmungandr asked.

“Well… while Melpheus was in command…”

Kraken, who held the highest rank among them, began explaining what had transpired.

“Also, it seems that all of the other Apostles of Destruction, except for us, have betrayed us.”

“What?! All of them except us?!”

“Yes. It looks like they’ve returned to the side of Creation.”

“Hmph. Those spineless fools. In the end, those who betray once will always betray again, huh?”

Jǫrmungandr scoffed at the traitors, as if to say he was different.

“Given the situation, Hydra and Leviathan, prepare for molting, and Kraken, help me reorganize the troops.”

“Molting?!”

“That’s…!”

Hydra and Leviathan responded hesitantly to Jǫrmungandr’s command.

For a snake, shedding its skin was a necessary process for growth, but it was incredibly painful and dangerous, even life-threatening.

“Do it when I say so!”

“Y-Yes…”

“Yes…”

Forced by Jǫrmungandr’s killing intent, Hydra and Leviathan reluctantly prepared for their molting.

“Kraken, for now, recall all the calamities.”

“Yes.”

Jǫrmungandr began wrapping Hydra and Leviathan in his massive body, as Kraken began calling back the calamities they had spread across the world.

***

[You have arrived on the 99th floor of the Black Tower.]

Sejun returned home from the 10th tower.

“I’m hungry.”

He went to the kitchen and ate the breakfast prepared by Sejun No.1.

The breakfast menu was slime meat cutlet.

“Ah, right. Sejun No.1, make me some pancakes.”

Kihihit! Kking!

[Hehe! Butler, give me more!]

Sejun sliced up the cutlets and gave them to Blackie while ordering Sejun No.1 to make pancakes.

Today, Sejun planned to go to the 67th floor of the White Tower to find the sealed sun and restore daylight to the White Tower.

104.28.193.250

And since he was heading to the White Tower, he decided to make pancakes, which Ajax liked.

While Sejun No.1 was making the pancakes, Sejun and his companions enjoyed their cutlets.

However,

“Ah, I’m full.”

Even after eating the slime cutlet, no message about the <Title: One Who Cooks Calamities>, which reduces physical damage, appeared.

This was because Sejun hadn’t cooked it himself.

The effect of the <Title: One Who Cooks Calamities> only activated when Sejun personally cooked the dish.

Kuehehehe. Kueng!

[Hehe. Cuengi brewed coffee for Dad!]

Cuengi brought a steaming cup of coffee made with the Sejun 94 Chikasan Black Tower beans that Hegel had left yesterday while Sejun was away.

“Thank you.”

Slurp.

“Ahh. As expected, coffee brewed by our Cuengi is the best!”

Sejun praised Cuengi’s coffee with a thumbs-up.

Kuehehehe.

Cuengi beamed with a bright smile at Sejun’s praise.

Honestly, there wasn’t much difference in taste from coffee brewed by Ninir, but anyway, Cuengi’s coffee was the best.

Plus when he smiles like that… this coffee was now heavenly.

Sejun enjoyed a leisurely time with his companions, who were resting on his body as he drank his coffee.

Then,

“Ajax, is it okay if I come over now?”

Sejun called out to Ajax.

Soon,

[The White Tower’s Honorary Full-time Employee says that Sejun-hyung is always welcome.]

Ajax replied immediately.

As Sejun Company’s policies changed, the system immediately reflected the update.

Hehehe. Ajax must’ve really missed his big brother.

Just from the message, Sejun could imagine how happy Ajax must be about his visit.

“Alright then, I’ll be there soon. Toryong!”

Sejun called Toryong and moved to the waypoint.

Thanks to Aileen, who had been adjusting the waypoint’s location closer to the farm bit by bit every day, Sejun was able to arrive at the waypoint in just a few minutes.

Touch.

Sejun placed his hand on the red crystal and teleported to the White Tower.

***

89th floor of the Black Tower.

Kyoot kyoot kyoot.

Iona, holding Theo’s Heart-fur Ball, hummed a tune as she walked somewhere with a lively step.

Then,

“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Excuse me, is Amur Lange here?”

She asked the guards who were guarding a massive mansion.

Iona had left the task of finding the owners of items marked with their owner’s insignia to the Wandering Merchant Association and had come here in person to find out who had purchased the golden plate depicting the battle between Fenrir and the Dragon.

While she was at it, she thought she’d also ask Amur, the famous designer, to make a couple ring for her and Theo.

However,

“As a matter of fact, Amur Lange has been expecting you, Iona-nim. Please follow me, Master of the Black Park-Ai Wizard Tower.”

“Kyoot? He’s been expecting me?!”

How did he know I’d come?

Surprised by the guard’s words, Iona tucked Theo’s Heart-fur Ball into her Void Storage and pulled out the Staff of Suppressing Gravity, which was strapped to her back while channeling magic power.

Having almost died at the hands of Mobius just recently, Iona’s wariness was still high.

At that moment,

-Master of the Black Park-Ai Wizard Tower, Iona, lover of Theo Park, there is no need to be on guard. I am Amur Lange, the second Apostle of Creation. I have something to discuss with you, so come in peacefully.

A divine voice echoed in Iona’s mind.

“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Yes!”

Hearing Amur acknowledge her relationship with Theo, Iona beamed and happily followed the guard into the mansion, grinning from ear to ear.
