Solo Farming In The Tower

TL: Hanguk

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

…

..

.

Sejun returned home from the 1st floor of the Blue Tower.

Growl.

His stomach growled loudly, demanding food to digest.

It was understandable that he was hungry. He hadn’t even eaten lunch because he was busy collecting treasures.

Earlier, just seeing the treasure was enough to make him feel full, but Sejun was a being who couldn’t convert treasure into energy. Hunger belatedly surged in.

The guys must be going crazy from hunger.

While Sejun hurried to the kitchen to cook,

Clang.

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I missed you, meow! Hurry up and serve grilled fish, meow!”

“Kyoo- I’m hungry.”

Kueng!

Kking!

As the Void Storage opened, his companions clung to Sejun’s back as he ran.

And so, Sejun arrived at the kitchen with his companions.

“Sejun No. 12! Soy sauce butter egg rice, please!”

He gave instructions to Sejun No. 12 and hurriedly grilled fish over open flame while simultaneously roasting peanuts in a frying pan.

Kuehehehe.

In the meantime, Cuengi set the utensils on the table and got ready to eat.

Kihihit.

Blackie brought over his food bowl, placed it on the floor, and sat in front of it, waiting for Sejun to hurry up and serve the roasted and dried sweet potato.

After a short while.

“You’re hungry, right? Let’s eat quickly.”

At Sejun’s words, the group began to eat.

Everyone was so hungry that they gobbled down the food,

Kihihit.

Blackie also ate deliciously.

Something doesn’t look right…

Sejun tilted his head as he looked at Blackie’s belly.

Lately, he’d been making Blackie exercise, but oddly, the belly was sticking out even more.

At that moment, Sejun caught some gazes that said, ‘We have something to say.’

Naturally, it was Kkabi, Karurur, Shari, and Mubalchil.

Compared to the plump Blackie, the four looked extremely thin.

‘Ah.’

The moment Sejun saw the four, he could roughly understand the situation.

Is this trickery?!

As Sejun grew angry upon discovering Blackie’s scheme,

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hehe. Butler!]

Blackie, oblivious to the atmosphere, came toddling over with his food bowl.

And then,

Kking! Kking?!

[Give me more roasted and dried sweet potato! Should I run another 10 laps?!]

Blackie volunteered to run first as he asked for more roasted and dried sweet potato.

There was no burden since he had no intention of running himself.

“Hehehe. Sure. If you run 10 laps, I’ll give you some roasted and dried sweet potato.”

Kihihit. Kking! Kking!

[Hehe. Got it! Butler! Just wait a little!]

Blackie quickly began to flap around and get ready to fly.

However.

“Kkabi, Karurur, Shari, Mubalchil, come here for a second.”

Sejun called the subordinates who were supposed to make Blackie fly.

Kking?!

“What? Blackie, go ahead and run.”

Kking.

[Okay.]

This isn’t right…

Blackie sensed something was wrong as he ran around. Very slowly.

He was waiting for his subordinates to arrive.

But there was no way Sejun would just let the four go back.

“Kkabi, go check on the brewery.”

Guys, you know what to do, right?

With a subtle wink, Sejun sent Kkabi off to the brewery.

“Karurur, Shari, Mubalchil, have you been properly unsealing the jewels I gave you?”

To the remaining three, he asked about the progress of unsealing the jewels of fire, water, and wind that he had entrusted them with before, dragging out time.

Even though only ten minutes passed,

Kkek. Kkek.

Blackie was already huffing and puffing, sweating profusely. It made sense. It couldn’t be easy to run with a belly that had grown thick through trickery.

“Blackie, why has your speed suddenly dropped compared to before? This seems suspicious?”

I can’t get caught!

Suspected by Sejun, Blackie ran with all his might.

If he got caught faking it, Sejun would put him on a diet, and that meant fewer roasted and dried sweet potatoes.

No! My roasted and dried sweet potatoes!

Blackie finally started a proper diet to protect the roasted and dried sweet potato.

Kkek. Kkek. Kking…

[Huff… Huff… 10 laps done…]

When Blackie returned, drenched in sweat,

“Whew. Look at all that sweat. You need a bath. Good job running. Maintain cleanliness.”

Sejun praised Blackie for completing the 10 laps and used his skill to wash him.

Kkirorong.

Receiving Sejun’s pat, Blackie, without even getting to eat the roasted and dried sweet potato he had longed for, immediately collapsed and fell asleep as if he had passed out.

Hehehe. That’s what you get for trying to cheat.

Sejun picked up the sleeping Blackie, laid him on the bed, and stepped outside.

And then,

“Hehehe.”

“Puhuhut.”

Kuehehehe.

After playing with Theo and Cuengi until the sky turned completely dark,

“Time to go to bed now.”

He took Cuengi to Pink-fur.

“Sleep well, Vice Chairman Theo.”

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, sleep well too, meow!”

“Sure.”

Kuuuuh…

He lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

***

What’s going on?

Wasn’t I doing a good job?

[System 371] realized something was wrong.

Even though it had completely bowed down to Sejun, only the power of [System SJC] was growing stronger, while its own power continued to diminish.

What went wrong?

I don’t know the reason!

[System 371] fell into confusion.

I need to do something more!

If this keeps up, I’m going to be in big trouble!

Feeling anxious, it thought up a countermeasure.

That’s it!

Why didn’t I think of this earlier?!

It quickly came up with a plan.

I can’t just wait!

I’ll offer it directly!

It decided to personally present the system access device to Sejun.

Move!

Hurry!

At [System 371]’s command, the system access device began to slowly move toward the direction of Jǫrmungandr’s stomach.

And then.

Ku-goo-goong.

Naturally, the massive Tear of Destruction that had swallowed the system access device also began to move, absorbing the other Tears of Destruction in its path and growing larger.

This should be enough, right?

Now he’ll view me favorably, right?

[System 371] let out a sigh of relief.

However, it seemed likely that it would end up being hated by Sejun again.

On a pitch-black night when everyone was asleep,

Gurgle. Gurgle.

The massive Tear of Destruction continued to grow as it absorbed other Tears of Destruction.

***

The next morning.

“Alright.”

Sejun got up.

“Meow…”

Kking…

He gathered Theo and the Blackie Family and headed to the kitchen, where Sejun No. 12 was roasting sweet potatoes over the brazier.

Next to it, seaweed soup was boiling in a large pot, and on the table, Choco Pies were piled up like a mountain.

Behind the table, the ingredients for seaweed soup and Choco Pies were neatly organized and placed.

Our Paespaes worked really hard.

Around the area, chocolate prints shaped like Paespaes’s paw pads were visible. He must’ve stepped in them while working.

Rustle.

Sejun placed his hand on his left shoulder, Paespaes’s favorite spot, to find him.

Pat. Pat.

He gently stroked Paespaes’s head.

(Paehehe…)

He could hear Paespaes giggling faintly.

Sejun continued patting Paespaes’s head.

“Cooking.”

He moved to where the ingredients Paespaes had organized were and used the Cooking master skill to replicate seaweed soup and Choco Pies.

A little while later.

Thump. Thump.

Kuoong.

[Good morning, Sejun-nim.]

Pink-fur arrived, carrying Cuengi in her mouth

“Yeah. Good morning. Pink-fur, take this and eat.”

Sejun took Cuengi from her, hung him on his side, and filled Pink-fur’s snack pouch with choco pies.

Then, after breakfast, he began his daily routine as usual. The other dragons had yet to bring back the land deeds from the 1st floor of their Tower.

2a09:bac1:40c0:10::119:6

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I’ll go make lots of money, meow!”

Kueng!

[Cuengi will also gather lots of herbs!]

After sending Theo and Cuengi off to work,

“Blackie, let’s go.”

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hehe! Let’s go quickly!]

He went to work at the 10th Tower with Blackie.

Clang.

Sejun opened the Void Storage and let the Creator God’s Tablet absorb the Energy of Creation.

Currently, with approximately 1,000 trillion liters absorbed, it had reached about 10%.

And the treasures he received(?) from the Kerma Empire had not been absorbed.

Upon thinking it over, he felt it might be good to make a quick trip home.

After all, he could replenish money in no time, and it had already been well over half a year since he last visited Earth.

He was starting to miss home.

Moreover, he had a strange feeling that it might be difficult to return home for a while.

While Sejun was lost in thought after opening the Void Storage,

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hehe! Everyone, great boss Blackie has returned!]

As soon as Blackie arrived, he gathered the Destruction Pioneers and Destruction Devourers.

Kihihit. Kking…

[Hehe. Great boss Blackie tricked the butler and…]

He began boasting about how he had deceived Sejun and eaten the roasted and dried sweet potato.

Kiki…

Kya-kya…

Upon hearing how Blackie tricked Sejun, his subordinates showed signs of disappointment.

However, when he told them how he ran 10 laps by himself yesterday,

Kiki!

Kya-kya!

As expected of our boss!

The subordinates began cheering once again.

Hehe. They really like that I ran myself? Then I should keep running hard on my own from now on!

Blackie grinned broadly at his subordinates’ reaction.

Good job, guys.

From behind Blackie, Sejun gave a thumbs-up to the Destruction Pioneers and Destruction Devourers.

After motivating Blackie like that

Pook. Pook.

[You’re a Field! (Master) has activated.]

[You have planted a Destruction Pioneer seed in the body of Kraken, the sea-devouring monster and 6th seat of the Apostle of Destruction.]

…

..

.

After planting the accumulated Destruction Pioneer and Destruction Devourer seeds,

“Blackie, let’s go home.”

Sejun returned to the Black Tower.

And then.

Kueng!

Cuengi, who had finished work early, welcomed Sejun. It was in preparation to capture Destruction Sejun from within Jǫrmungandr’s stomach.

In Cuengi’s absence, the Cuengi’s Herb Squad had been tending to the herb garden diligently.

Yongboon, who had become somewhat dazed due to the Blackie Family, had also regained his broken mentality and joined the Cuengi’s Herb Squad.

Of course, whenever things got too hot, Cuengi or Pink-fur would cool him down, so he was a less overheated Yongboon.

“Let’s eat.”

Kueng!

Kking!

Sejun had a simple lunch with Cuengi and Blackie, then moved through the dimensional gate to Jǫrmungandr’s stomach.

***

White Tower, 53rd floor.

A city ruled by the nine-tailed fox Iriel, the snow white legendary merchant. The city, where she had erected a tower symbolizing her nine tails, was called Nine Tower.

“Puhuhut. I shall now begin the auction, meow!”

Theo shouted from the podium in the central plaza of Nine Tower.

And then.

“Waaah~!”

Merchants who had been waiting for Theo’s auction cheered from below the platform.

And.

“Huhuhut.”

Such a capable legendary merchant, he’s more than fitting to be my mate.

Iriel smiled as she looked down at Theo from the highest floor of the tower.

A legendary merchant whom the great White Dragon listens to.

Just for that alone, he practically held absolute power within the White Tower.

“After the auction, I’ll seduce him by suggesting we have a drink together.”

Iriel planned to seduce Theo.

It was fortunate that Iona wasn’t around.

If Iona had known Iriel was planning to flirt with Theo, Iriel and the entire Nine Tower would’ve been erased from existence.

As the auction was proceeding,

“Meow?!”

Theo suddenly felt a tingling sensation all over his body.

Tremble tremble tremble.

At the same time, his whiskers trembled violently.

“This is dangerous, meow!”

Chairman Park is in danger, meow!

Theo’s “Sejun-knee detector” was warning him that Sejun was in serious danger.

“That’s it for today, meow!”

Theo rushed to Sejun immediately.

***

Swish.

Sejun crossed the dimensional gate first and surveyed the surroundings.

Nothing…

Seeing that not a single Tear of Destruction had entered, Sejun felt disappointed.

Kueng!

Kking!

In the meantime, Cuengi and the Blackie Family followed behind.

A moment later.

“Alright. Fart Ship, launch!”

-Yes! Going full power!

Bwoooong.

With the loud and rich sound of a fart from Fart Captain Kabulto, Jǫrmungandr’s body began to move.

Ah. That feels good.

Kabulto didn’t seem very embarrassed about it anymore.

“Cuengi, let’s go.”

Kueng!

Sejun exited Jǫrmungandr’s body with Cuengi and said,

“Cuengi, that.”

Kueng!

Twitch.

Just as he was about to capture Destruction Sejun and put him to work,

-Sejun-nim! Something’s wrong! The Tear of Destruction is way too big!

Kabulto urgently called out to Sejun.

And then.

“Huh?!”

Why is it so close?!

Sejun noticed that the giant Tear of Destruction was much closer than he had expected.

And it had grown even bigger?

He had a bad feeling.

Though Sejun was getting closer to the massive Tear of Destruction he had wanted so badly,

“Retreat!”

He decided to flee.

But.

Sejun-nim! Discovered!

Move the system access device faster!

[System 371], having located Sejun, accelerated to deliver the system access device to him, and before he knew it, Sejun was within the replication range of the massive Tear of Destruction.

Slosh. Slosh.

The giant Tear of Destruction began transforming into Sejun’s appearance.
