Solo Farming In The Tower

TL: Hanguk

The great black dragon’s territory.

Thud.

Anton infused his magic power into the massive crystal orb he had installed in his lair.

Then,

Woong.

The magic circles engraved on the crystal orb began to glow,

“Urgh.”

drawing in so much magic that even Anton, the mighty black dragon, found it hard to endure.

“Find it.”

Gritting his teeth, Anton cast the spell.

It was a spell he could only use once a month due to the strain it placed on his body, but thanks to Sejun’s crops, his recovery speed had improved, allowing him to use it once a week now.

And then,

You foolish boy.

Kaiser quietly observed his son Anton casting magic in secret from the other dragons and then left.

A short while later.

“Huff… Huff… Another failure today…”

Drained of magic power, Anton collapsed onto the floor, panting heavily.

Creator God’s Temple.

[With the invasion of the Seventh Calamity, the Planet-Destroying Turtle, Ilinae has been destroyed.]

[With the invasion of the Seventh Calamity, the Planet-Destroying Turtle, Baimia has been destroyed.]

[With the invasion of the Seventh Calamity, the Planet-Destroying Turtle, Huanga has been destroyed.]

…

..

.

Dozens of messages about world destructions appeared before the Creator God.

“Hmm.”

The Creator God groaned, feeling a mix of guilt for the worlds that could not fully use the lives he had given them and sadness over the destruction of his creations.

“Creator God, perhaps we should seek Park Sejun’s help after all?”

The Creator God’s second apostle, Amur Lange, cautiously suggested.

If misinterpreted, his words could be seen as disregarding the Creator God or expressing a reluctance to perform his current duties.

“Creator God, I also agree with Amur’s suggestion.”

Fortunately, the Creator God’s first apostle, Emila Ibenes, lent support to Amur’s words.

And then,

“I, too, would like to seek Park Sejun’s help.”

The Creator God agreed with their opinions.

However,

Park Sejun is too weak…

Even though he wanted to ask for Sejun’s help, he couldn’t.

The issue, once again, was Sejun’s ability.

Sejun was already exerting influence over the world to the maximum, or rather, beyond the maximum, that his soul and body could withstand.

Just managing the influence he had created was already more than Sejun could handle.

If he were given any additional responsibilities, his existence might not be able to withstand it. In the worst case, he could even disappear.

Surpassing one’s own limits, no matter how beneficial, is never advisable. Not even for a good cause.

“Fenrir… no, Blackie, I’m counting on you.”

This was why the Creator God had left his third apostle, Blackie, at Sejun’s side instead of summoning him here.

To support Sejun so he wouldn’t be swallowed by the massive wave of influence he had created.

And also,

Even if I called, he wouldn’t listen to me anyway.

This decision was partly due to Blackie’s notoriously difficult personality.

***

99th Floor of the Black Tower.

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hehe. Butler! Get up! Time to eat!]

Lick, lick.

A hungry Blackie diligently licked Sejun’s face, trying to wake him up.

Hehe. Since Butler said it hurts when I press on him with my feet.

It was Blackie’s way of being considerate toward Sejun.

But,

“Ugh… Blackie, go play somewhere else.”

This ungrateful butler ignored Blackie’s act of kindness.

Kking!

[I hate you, Butler!]

Furious, Blackie raised his front paw with all his strength and

Puk!

“Ughk!”

gave Sejun a hard stomp before bolting out of the room.

“Ugh… Why are you acting like this first thing in the morning…?”

Completely clueless as to why Blackie was behaving this way, Sejun finally opened his eyes and

[Due to the effect of <Power: Sunfish Core>, all your stat potentials has increase by 30.]

checked the message that appeared.

“Vice Chairman Theo…”

He called for Theo. He needed a massage to relieve his muscle pain.

And then,

“Meow…”

Theo, who answered Sejun’s call, half-asleep,

Press. Press.

Started kneading Sejun with his front paws.

Though he had gotten a massage before bed the previous night, the effects had worn off.

Kueng!

[Dad, good morning!]

The filial son Cuengi, who woke up earlier than usual and helped ease Sejun’s body with a physical magic massage.

Thanks to the massages from the two of them, Sejun was back to normal condition.

“Blackie, where are you? Let’s eat some roasted and dried sweet potato.”

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hehe. Great Blackie is here!]

“Hehehe. Got you.”

Kking?!

Sejun lured Blackie over with the roasted sweet potato,

“You stomped on me and ran off earlier, didn’t you?! Face the judgment of justice! Booboo-booboo.”

Kihihit!

He retaliated by blowing raspberry on his belly.

“Puhuhut.”

Kuehehehe.

Watching this, Theo and Cuengi naturally presented their bellies to Sejun, as if expecting the same treatment.

Sejun spent some time going around, blowing raspberries on each of them on their bellies.

Then,

“Patrick~nim, can I go now?”

After getting confirmation from Patrick,

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

[Strength increases by 1300%.]

Click.

He teleported to the 10th Tower and used the gathered energy of creation that had accumulated over the day to upgrade the tower.

And then,

“Hamer~nim, is the Enhancing Elixir ready yet?”

[Hamer, the God of Farming, says to stop rushing him, as he’s working hard on it.]

After giving Hamer a little nudge, Sejun planted the Destruction Pioneer Seed and then returned to the Black Tower to make breakfast.

“It feels empty without Sejun No.1 around.”

Without Sejun No.1, who usually prepared breakfast for him, Sejun found himself busy from the early morning.

In the middle of it, Ramter, in an overly excited mood, came by and demanded some cherry wine and seafood stew like he had yesterday. But,

“What you ate yesterday wasn’t free. Please pay up.”

“Puhuhut. That’s right, meow! There’s no such thing as a free meal in this world, meow! Ramter~nim, pay up, meow!”

-What?!

In a spicy capitalist shock therapy, Sejun snapped Ramter back to reality.

After finishing breakfast,

Slurp.

“Ahhh.”

Sejun enjoyed a brief moment of relaxation, drinking the coffee Cuengi had brewed for him before starting his morning tasks.

Once coffee time ended, Theo went off to work, and Cuengi also left for the herb garden, while

Click.

Sejun entered the void storage to start his morning routine.

He planted seeds for the Pioneers and Devourers, as well as the durian, pine, and cabbage seeds he’d purchased yesterday, then exited the Void Storage.

He planned to do the harvest in the afternoon after Theo and Cuengi returned home.

Just in case stat harvesting activated, stats might revert and cause severe muscle pain.

With no harvest scheduled, Sejun found he had some free time in the morning.

“The Moonfruit Seed probably has something to do with moonlight, so I should try exposing it to moonlight when there’s a blue moon. And for the Generous Green Onion Seed…”

Sejun started contemplating how to sprout the transcendence grade seeds he’d bought yesterday.

Now that he thought about it, those green onions had truly been generous.

Their leaves grew quickly, serving as food, cooking ingredients, plates, ropes, and more, fulfilling so many roles.

If it hadn’t been for those green onions, surviving when he was stranded would have been much harder.

Plus, the green onions had played a big role in helping him establish a contract with the Black Minotaurs.

Not to mention, with the Sturdy Blade Green Onions, he’d managed to defeat locusts, and the Detoxifying Green Onion had saved his life multiple times with its detoxifying properties.

Green onions really are a remarkable plant.

Sejun gazed warmly at the small green seed in the palm of his hand.

I don’t know your name, but thank you.

With a heart full of gratitude.

At that moment,

Fwoosh.

the Generous Green Onion Seed began to emit a faint light.

“Huh?”

What’s going on?

When Sejun examined the seed,

[Generous Green Onion Seed]

→ ???

→ You must harvest it to check its options.

→ Sensing someone’s gratitude, the seed has awakened to a noble desire to help others, transforming into a World Tree Seed.

The description of the seed had changed.

“A World Tree Seed?”

Just like that, all of a sudden?

Sejun suddenly began to treat the green seed, which had now transformed into a World Tree Seed, with even greater care.

At that moment,

[A quest has been generated.]

[Quest: Upon awakening as a World Tree seed, the Generous Green Onion seed received one calling. Please plant the Generous Green Onion seed in the forgotten world of Omid.]

Reward: The reconnection of Omid to other worlds, +1000 to all stat potentials, +500 to all stats, +100 to Mental Strength, +10 Divinity.

A quest message appeared before Sejun.

“Why are they giving out so much?”

Looking at the quest rewards, Sejun realized that this quest wouldn’t be an easy one.

“Well… Not that there’s any way to get there.”

In other towers, there might be other ways, but there was no way to travel to other worlds except through the methods provided by the system.

-Paespaes, if you happen to come across a place called Omid while wandering between dimensions, wake me up.

Just in case, Sejun left a note for Paespaes to see.

And then,

“Sorry, seed. It’s tough right now, but if I ever get to Omid, I’ll plant you there.”

Swish.

He gently placed the Generous Green Onion Seed, which had turned into a World Tree Seed, carefully in his pocket.

“But when is this going to sprout?”

Sejun muttered as he took out the Seed of Abundance that he had planted in the ground to inspect it. He’d planted it nearly a month ago, but it still showed no sign of sprouting.

[Seed of Abundance]

→ ???

→You must harvest it to check its options.

→It has absorbed some of the energy of abundance and gained a bit of desire to grow, but it still doesn’t feel like sprouting.

“Still not yet?”

Pook.

Sejun carefully replanted the Seed of Abundance back into the ground.

Previously, he had asked Theo to consult Hel, the God of Merchants, to see if Leah, the God of Abundance, knew of any way to sprout the Seed of Abundance.

A method to sprout the Seed of Abundance? I don’t know either.

It was of no help at all.

“Well, now I need to start preparing food for the upcoming meeting.”

Do I have all the ingredients?

Sejun headed to the kitchen to make lunch, checking if he had all the ingredients needed for the dishes he would make at the upcoming third dragon meeting.

If he was missing anything, he would need to start gathering it now to have it in time.

After checking the ingredients, Sejun sighed.

“Hm… Of all things, we’re out of milk.”

He looked regretfully at the nearly empty Milk Fountain.

One of the dishes Sejun planned to make this time was a whipped cream cake, so he absolutely needed milk.

I should go buy some milk at the merchant street tomorrow. While I’m at it, I’ll pick up a few other things too…

While Sejun was cooking and making plans to go shopping at the 75th floor tomorrow

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I have returned, meow! I smell delicious grilled fish, meow!”

Kuehehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehe. Cuengi has returned too!]

Theo and Cuengi returned.

Kking…?

[Butler, is it time to eat…?]

Blackie, who had been dozing in Sejun’s sling bag the whole time, yawned and sniffed the air.

And so, they all sat down together to eat lunch.

“Everyone, are you ready?”

“Puhuhut. Just trust in the Hybrid Vice Chairman, meow!”

Kueng!

[Cuengi won’t hurt Dad, I promise!]

Sejun received massages from Theo and Cuengi as he harvested his crops, resulting in a total stat increase of 190 from three harvests, while 260 stat points were reverted, reinforcing his battle aura.

***

The next morning.

“Alright, let’s set off.”

104.28.193.250

“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!”

Kuehehehe.

Kihihit.

Sejun and his companions departed for the 75th floor of the tower to buy the ingredients they needed.

[You have arrived on the 75th floor of the Black Tower.]

…

..

.

Once they arrived on the 75th floor, Sejun made his way to the Merchant Street.

Kuehehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehe. Cuengi has pocket money!]

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hehe. Big bro Cuengi, buy me that!]

Cuengi and Blackie went off to buy snacks at a street stall.

“First, I’ll take 100,000 bottles of milk, and 10,000 each of that cheese and butter please.”

Sejun purchased the ingredients he needed and stored them in the Void Storage.

Then,

“Goodbye.”

“Thank you! Please come again!”

The shop owner gave him a deep 90-degree bow of gratitude for the large purchase that greatly boosted their sales, and Sejun left the store.

At that moment,

“Sejun-nim, please stop that rascal!”

Jeras from the Wandering Merchants’ Association pointed to a gray squirrel running toward Sejun and shouted.

“Huh?!”

Whoosh.

Before Sejun could even react, the squirrel darted past him.

“Hehehe. I’ll make good use of this.”

In the middle of its escape, the squirrel casually snatched Sejun’s coin pouch.

“Meow?! How dare you steal from the great Hybrid Chairman Park, meow! This is outrageous, meow!”

Enraged by the squirrel stealing Sejun’s money pouch, Theo quickly caught it using Meow-step, and

[Jeras’s Incident Log]

Swift Squirrel Chwichwiyi of the Shopping Street

-One additional pickpocketing victim (Park Sejun~nim) reported, but with the help of Theo~nim, the culprit was apprehended!

-Bounty of 1,500 Tower Coins has been awarded.

Jeras closed up another case in the records.
