Solo Farming In The Tower

TL: Hanguk

[You have arrived at <Vspo>.]

Sejun arrived at the 6th level world <Vspo> through the exclusive passageway.

Squelch. Squelch.

Sejun’s eyes caught sight of the plump slimes moving around busily in search of their next prey.

Hehehe. Is it pork belly for breakfast today?

While Sejun was deciding on the breakfast menu,

Sssup.

Kuehehehe.

Cuengi also drooled and laughed.

And then,

“Guys, let’s catch them!”

“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!”

Kueng!

At Sejun’s shout, Theo and Cuengi attacked the slimes.

Kyurorong.

Iona was still sleeping, clinging to Theo’s tail

“The winning team, our team!”

Kihihit! Kking! Kking!

[Hehe. Hyungs, keep it up! Butler and Great Blackie are cheering for you!]

Sejun and the Blackie Family, who could be eaten instead if they attacked the slimes, stayed behind and cheered with all their might.

A moment later.

The slimes were finely chopped

Sizzle.

and grilled deliciously on the stone plate.

Kuehehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehe. It’s delicious!]

Cuengi wrapped five pieces of meat at once and ate excitedly

“Puhuhut. As expected, Chairman Park’s grilled fish is the best, meow!”

“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. The peanuts stir-fried by Sejun-nim are tasty too!”

Theo and Iona enjoyed the grilled fish and stir-fried peanuts Sejun had prepared.

And then,

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hehe. Butler! I want to eat more roasted and dried sweet potato!]

Blackie barked enthusiastically despite his belly being so bloated it was dragging on the ground.

“Then go run 10 laps around the area.”

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hehe. Got it!]

Dadada.

Blackie diligently ran around the surroundings.

Not because he could exercise endlessly for roasted and dried sweet potato,

but because…

Blackie-nim, you’re heavy!

I think you need to go on a diet…

Seriously!

Sejun-nim, please notice!

Sharalang!

Caw!

Ppiyak!

Mumu!

Kkabi, Karurur, Shari, and Mubalchil lifted and carried Blackie, while Blackie only moved his legs as if he were running.

Why isn’t he losing weight when he’s running so hard?

Sejun, unaware of Blackie’s trickery, found it strange and wrapped a ssam and put it in his mouth.

Munch. Munch.

Hehehe. So tasty.

A smile naturally emerged.

A little later.

After finishing breakfast,

Slurp.

Sejun drank the coffee brewed by Cuengi and checked the Tower Owner Quest.

Destruction’s First Calamity: Defeat 500 billion Locusts (131.2 billion/500 billion)

Destruction’s Second Calamity: Defeat 50 billion Giant Blood-sucking Leeches (2.5 billion/50 billion)

Destruction’s Third Calamity: Defeat 50 billion Fire Moths (2.1 billion/50 billion)

Destruction’s Fourth Calamity: Defeat 50 billion Petrifying Spiders (3.3 billion/50 billion)

Destruction’s Fifth Calamity: Defeat 100 million Slimes (134,500/100 million)

Destruction’s Sixth Calamity: Defeat 10,000 Ogres (121/10,000)

Destruction’s Seventh Calamity: Defeat 1,000 Planet-Destroying Turtles (15/1,000)

Destruction’s Eighth Calamity: Defeat 100 billion Flesh Eaters (60.7 billion/100 billion)

Still a long way to go…

The path of being a building owner was long and winding.

For reference, during the one-week break, Sejun had gone to find the Ogre King Les, the boss of the 99th floor of the White Tower and delivered the battle aura of 121 Ogres, who were depending on his body, to Les.

“Sejun-nim, you’ve finally reached the third level of muscle strengthening technique.”

Les informed Sejun that his muscle strengthening technique had entered the third level.

Kueng?!

[Then Cuengi can teach Dad the battle aura technique now?!]

Cuengi, who had learned the battle aura techniques in advance for this day, tried to teach Muscle Amplification Technique to Sejun, but

Kueng!

[Do it like this!]

“Like this?”

Kueng! Kueng!

[No, not like that! Like this!]

It was not easy for a genius to teach a slow learner. What was as easy as breathing to Cuengi was not so for Sejun.

“Like this?”

Kueng! Kueng!

[Cuengi said it’s like this! Dad, focus!]

Sejun continued to be scolded by Cuengi, losing his authority as a father.

Les, help me.

He sent a pleading look to Les.

“Ahem. First, I’ll teach you the basics of Muscle Amplification Technique.”

With no choice, Les stepped up and taught Sejun the Muscle Amplification Technique.

Muscle Amplification Technique was a skill that used battle aura to amplify the body’s muscles for a certain period and enlarge the body.

At present, Sejun could enlarge his body size up to three times for three seconds.

It was said that once the technique reached the 10th level, one could maintain a body enlarged up to a hundred times for nearly a lifetime, but it didn’t seem like something he’d need.

Because the clothes would tear if he got too big.

Not knowing anything, he had used the muscle amplification technique and all his clothes tore apart, and he almost ended up doing a nude show in front of his group.

It was a real relief that it was the White Tower, where Aileen couldn’t see.

Ah. Even just remembering it is embarrassing.

Recalling that moment, Sejun shook his head to brush away the embarrassment.

And then,

“I should get to work quickly.”

He hurriedly got up.

When he checked how many calamities he needed to defeat to complete the quest, motivation surged within him.

“Guys, let’s go!”

“Puhuhut. Sounds good, meow!”

Kueng!

Kking!

Just like that, Sejun and his group hunted down other calamities while heading toward the capital of the Kerma Empire.

***

Vatan, the capital of the Kerma Empire.

“What?! My Gatoma went into the Tower and got hit?!”

Puntaro, the Emperor of the Kerma Empire, asked in an angry voice.

“Dad, I even got stamped here.”

Gatoma showed the cat paw print stamped on his back.

“This is…”

Could it be?!

Puntaro quickly looked to Gengen, the chief court mage.

“You were right. It’s not exactly the same, but it has the same effect as a Brand of Loyalty.”

“How dare they stamp a Brand of Loyalty on my son?!”

Thud!

Unable to contain his fury, Puntaro stomped the floor hard at Gengen’s answer.

And they even said to prepare to welcome them in the imperial capital.

Just how much are these bastards looking down on the Kerma Empire?!

“Guards! Find their location immediately!”

One hour after Puntaro’s order for an official notice to go out to the city to report the whereabouts of Sejun and his group upon finding them,

“They’re heading this way while defeating calamities?”

Reports started coming in about Sejun and his group’s location. Since they caused such a ruckus while eliminating calamities, they couldn’t help but stand out.

“Yes. Currently, they’re about 20 kilometers from the capital. If we depart now, we can meet them within an hour.”

“Good. Assemble all soldiers in the capital and march out!”

“Yes!”

There were even reports of calamities appearing nearby…

Puntaro planned to capture Sejun and his group and also eliminate the calamities.

According to Gatoma, the number of enemies was three(?).

Gatoma didn’t even consider the small Iona and the Blackie Family as worth noticing.

‘Rather than saying we deployed the army to catch three people, it sounds better to say we went to eliminate calamities and dealt with the three in the process.’

Puntaro created a solid justification for mobilizing his army.

Moreover,

‘Gatoma would surely admire me seeing how I command such a large force, right?’

Only by moving such a large army could he show his son how great he was.

Thus, Puntaro led a massive force and, together with his son, moved toward the location of Sejun and his group, soon encountering them.

“Dad, it’s those guys!”

Gatoma shouted upon spotting Sejun’s family.

“Alright. Dad will show them what punishment is. Prepare to attack!”

“Yes!”

“Atta…”

Just as Puntaro was about to command his soldiers to attack,

“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Power of gravity…”

A snow-white hamster, barely visible even with strained eyes, floated into the sky and then

“Meteor.”

cast a spell,

Boom!

An area nearly the size of the capital vanished, including the calamities Puntaro had planned to deal with after taking care of Sejun’s group.

And then,

Step. Step.

They approached them.

“……”

Puntaro and his soldiers stood frozen until Sejun and his group arrived before them.

“Puhuhut. I told you to wait, and you came out to greet us, meow?! That’s a great attitude, meow!”

Press. Press.

Theo happily stamped them.

Meanwhile,

“Um… I’d like to see the treasure vault.”

“Ah. Yes! Please, this way!”

Sejun had Puntaro guide him to the treasure vault.

And so, on the way back to the capital Vatan, escorted with the utmost care by Puntaro and the elite soldiers of the Kerma Empire.

“My dad lost… Dad’s not the strongest…”

Gatoma, who witnessed Puntaro losing for the first time, became depressed from the great shock.

At that moment,

Tap.

Kueng! Kueng!

[That’s only natural! Dads are supposed to be weak!]

Cuengi put his arm around Gatoma’s shoulder in comfort.

“Huh?! Dads are supposed to be weak?”

Kueng! Kueng!

[That’s right! Dads should always be protected by their sons!]

Cuengi began gaslighting Gatoma.

Kueng! Kueng! Kueng!

[First, you must always stay alert around Dad! And you must taste the food before Dad eats it! He could eat something dangerous!]

He earnestly taught Gatoma the Sunfish Dad Protection Method.

“I see now. Dad is someone who needs to be protected.”

And so, Gatoma learned from Cuengi.

Later on, he would be praised as the most filial son in the history of the Kerma Empire.

While Sejun and his group were heading to Vatan

[The number of full-time employees belonging to Sejun Company in <Vspo> has exceeded 10 billion.]

[Sejun Company’s influence over <Vspo> has greatly increased.]

[Sejun Company’s influence over <Vspo> exceeds 70%.]

104.28.193.250

[Sejun Company merges with <Vspo>.]

[New infrastructure is being established in Sejun Company.]

[A global communication network has been launched in Sejun Company.]

[From now on, communication is possible between full-time employees of <Vspo> under Sejun Company.]

[System SJC] was once again being upgraded as Sejun Company’s influence surged.

The number of stamps Theo had made was only in the tens of thousands, yet the number of full-time employees in <Vspo> exceeded 10 billion.

That was due to the unique system of the Kerma Empire. From birth, every citizen of the Kerma Empire was branded with a Brand of Loyalty to prevent betrayal against the emperor.

This was why Puntaro became so enraged upon seeing the stamp on his own son. It was something only branded onto common citizens.

In any case, when Theo stamped Puntaro, every resident of the Kerma Empire who had received Puntaro’s Brand of Loyalty was now considered part of Sejun Company.

Thus, [System SJC], upgraded like that

[Recruiting a proxy guardian deity to manage <Vspo>. (Share: 0.5%)]

posted a job opening for a proxy guardian deity on the full-time employee communication network.

The share was lower than what Sejun offered during hiring, but still

[<Manager> Seed Shop Headquarters, God of Sprouts, Bud: Me! Yay! First!]

[<Manager> Seed Shop Headquarters, God of Stones, Toga: Me! Bud, you idiot, it’s not first-come-first-served.]

[<Manager> Combat Shop Headquarters, God of Fire, Farro: Applying!]

…

..

.

Gods fiercely competed to become the proxy guardian deity of the 6th level world <Vspo>.

Shortly after.

[The proxy guardian deity of <Vspo> is Toga, the God of Stones.]

[<Manager> Seed Shop Headquarters, God of Stones, Toga: Yes!]

[<Manager> Seed Shop Headquarters, God of Sprouts, Bud: But I was first… ㅠㅠ]

Toga, the God of Stones was selected as the proxy guardian deity of <Vspo>.

***

The treasure vault of the capital Vatan in the Kerma Empire.

“Hehehe. Guys, pack it up quickly.”

“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!”

“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Yes!”

Kueng!

Kking!

Sejun and his group quickly transferred the treasures from the treasure vault into Sejun’s void storage.

“Heheh. Vice Chairman Theo, aren’t we being too conscientious?”

“Puhuhut. Indeed, meow! Leaving this much treasure behind, we’re just too kind, meow!”

Sejun and Theo looked at the small pile of least valuable items stacked in the center of the now completely empty treasure vault, feeling proud and praising themselves with satisfied smiles.

“Well then, we’re off. Cuengi, let’s go!”

Kueng!

After Sejun quickly escaped from the capital using Cuengi’s telekinesis

“My treeeeaaaasuuuuure~!!!”

Puntaro’s scream could be heard from the capital.
