Solo Farming In The Tower

TL: Hanguk

PR: MiniPixelZ

37th Floor of the Green Tower.

“Puhuhut. Sold out, meow! Then, see you next time, meow!”

Chairman Park, I miss you, meow!

Once again, Theo, who had completely sold out Sejun’s crops, quickly began to prepare to leave.

“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Theo-nim, great job. I’ll help you pack.”

Iona, who had been comfortably resting on Theo’s fluffy tail, assisted him.

At that moment.

“We can’t let you go like this!”

“Hand over the confession carrots!”

“Yeah! If I’m going to confess to Jenny tomorrow, I need the confession carrots!”

A few solo merchants who couldn’t give up on the confession carrots surrounded Theo.

They knew how strong Theo was, but thought that by surrounding him with many people, they could apply psychological pressure. Of course, their plan was to run away as soon as they were hit.

Then.

“Kyoo-kyoo-kyoo-what? It’s time for my Theo-nim to go home!”

Having seen through their intentions, Iona spoke with displeasure, entering the third stage of angry kyoo.

But.

“Who do you think would be scared by a sound like that?!”

This was the Green Tower. The legend of the Destructive Wizard Iona had not yet spread here.

However, class is eternal. A legend is a legend for a reason.

“Kyoo-kyoo-kyoo-power of meteor…”

Iona showed what the third stage anger kyoo meant, not with words but with results.

Kaboom!

At the impact of Iona’s Meteor magic, a giant mountain nearby disappeared, replaced by a massive crater.

Rumble rumble rumble.

Groundwater surged from the crater’s bottom, and the massive pit quickly transformed into a lake.

“Hiccup!”

“Eeek!”

The solo merchants, terrified by Iona’s magic, unconsciously stepped back and made a path as if parting the sea.

Thus, the legend of the Destructive Wizard Iona began to spread in the Green Tower as well.

“Puhuhut. Don’t be too disappointed, meow. Next time, bring lots of money and buy it, meow.”

Theo patted the shoulders of the frightened merchants and entered the bag of the legendary merchant.

“Kyoo- be careful.”

After issuing a warning, Iona also disappeared using dimensional travel magic.

***

99th Floor of the Black Tower.

“Puhuhut. I want to see Chairman Park soon, meow!”

Arriving on the 99th floor of the Black Tower through the bag, Theo held back his eagerness to see Sejun and waited for a moment.

“Kyoot kyoot kyoot.”

When Iona arrived through dimensional travel magic,

“Iona, let’s go, meow!”

“Kyoot kyoot kyoot! Yes!”

He brought Iona along and moved with Meow-Step.

Then.

“Puhuhut. Great Hybrid Chairman Park, I have returned, meow!”

“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. I’m here too!”

He clung to Sejun’s face and announced their arrival.

“All right. You both worked hard.”

Sejun welcomed Theo and Iona with a slightly subdued voice.

“Kyoot kyoot kyoot.”

Iona did not sense anything unusual,

“Meow?! Chairman Park, what’s wrong, meow?! Who made Chairman Park angry, meow?!”

But Theo, who was extremely sensitive regarding Sejun, immediately realized that Sejun was upset.

In fact, it was closer to being sulky than angry, but knowing that if he said Sejun was sulking, it would make him sulk even more, Theo instinctively chose different words.

“Vice Chairman Theo…”

“Meow?! Really, meow?! The Seed Shop Headquarters gods didn’t open the Seed Shop for our Great Hybrid Chairman Park, meow?!”

Thanks to that, he could hear in detail the reason why Sejun was upset.

“Haak! Chairman Park, let’s impeach them all, meow!”

Theo, in a rage, immediately called for impeachment.

“Let’s hear their reasons first.”

As this incident was fairly serious, even Sejun didn’t outright refuse. He thought about considering impeachment if there really was no proper reason.

“Vice Chairman Theo, arrange a talk with Leah-nim through Hel-nim.”

“Got it, meow! Hel-nim, come out, meow!”

To find out why the Seed Shop hadn’t opened, Theo called upon Hel.

Then.

[Hel, the God of Merchants, says to just tell her what item you need.]

Hel, thinking Theo was giving her a quest, responded quickly and eagerly.

“I don’t need anything today, meow! Our Chairman Park wants to talk to Leah-nim! Please convey Chairman Park’s message to Leah-nim!”

A disappointing reply.

However.

[A designated quest from Vice Chairman Park Theo of Sejun Company has been generated.]

[The designated target is Hel, the God of Merchants.]

[System SJC] turned even this into a quest.

Any command from Sejun and Theo, the Chairman and Vice Chairman of Sejun Company, was turned into a quest by [System SJC].

“Nice!”

Hel, thrilled to receive the quest, ran excitedly to Leah’s home.

Thud. Thud.

She knocked on the door.

Creak.

“Hel, what’s going on? Today’s not the day to receive seeds.”

Leah opened the door in confusion. Beyond it, the still-unfinished Seed of Abundance could be seen.

“I came because God-Sejun has something to say.”

“God-Sejun?!”

At Hel’s words, even though Sejun wasn’t in front of her, Leah straightened her clothes.

Then.

“What did God-Sejun say? Tell me quickly.”

“Well. God-Sejun said… uh…”

Hel couldn’t properly convey Sejun’s words. No, she simply couldn’t.

Why hadn’t the Seed Shop opened?

Because the reason Sejun was questioning Leah lay with her.

She was the one who had persuaded Leah and the other Seed Shop executives to give Sejun transcendence-level seeds, elixirs, and ordinary seeds via her.

And she was also the one who hadn’t informed Theo of this to pocket middleman’s margin.

What should she do?

While Hel was agonizing,

“Hel, what is God-Sejun saying?”

Leah asked again in frustration.

At that moment.

“Never mind. I’ll hear it directly.”

Leah descended to the 99th floor of the Black Tower.

***

Clatter. Clatter.

“Finally arrived. Ah. I’m tired.”

Ssibal the 18th, sent by Leah who grew suspicious because the number of seeds germinated by Sejun was too low compared to what Hel had took, reached the 99th floor of the Black Tower.

Kkwek!

Four mushroom ants were waiting for him.

[Brown Tower 4F Saint Ludwig Schruen Argon Walter XVIII: I’ll be arriving on the 99th floor in an hour, are there any mushroom ants who can give me a ride to Sejun-nim’s house? I’ll offer 1 Tower Coin as a reward.]

They were mushroom ants recruited in advance through the full-time employee communication network before Ssibal the 18th arrived here, and they brought flat wooden boards to carry Ssibal the 18th.

Among the mushroom ants, there were those who didn’t want to farm but instead wanted to become wandering merchants like Theo.

Although they felt Sejun might give them the funds to become wandering merchants if they asked, their leader said they should earn it themselves to understand the value of money.

So mushroom ant no. 83,818 and his companions took on side jobs whenever opportunities to earn money arose.

“You must be mushroom ant no. 83,818-nim, right?”

At Ssibal the 18th’s question, mushroom ant no. 83,818 moved its antennae up and down.

“Then I’ll be in your care.”

Ssibal the 18th comfortably sat on the wooden plank carried on the backs of mushroom ant no. 83,818 and the three others, and they headed toward Sejun’s house.

A moment later.

“O Leah, God of Abundance, I have arrived.”

As they neared Sejun’s home, he reported to Leah that he had arrived and

[Park Sejun, nice to see you.]

Leah descended. Considering the dignity of a god, she didn’t use the slogan God-Sejun in front of Sejun.

Thus began the three-way meeting between Sejun, Leah, and Hel.

“What?! You’re saying that the Seed Shop hasn’t been opening because Hel-nim monopolized the seeds?!”

[Yes. Hel clearly said she would deliver the seeds to you, Park Sejun. I found it strange as well, so through my child…]

The truth was quickly revealed.

And.

“Haak! Haak! Haak! Hel-nim stole Great Hybrid Chairman Park’s seeds, meow! Impeach her, meow!”

Led by the greatly angered Theo, the impeachment vote began in earnest.

[Park Theo, the Lucky Legendary Merchant of the Black Tower, is attempting to impeach Hel, the God of Merchants.]

[Slaves of the Black Tower- Mimyr, Uren, Jeto, Ninir, Machun, and Magin, automatically agree with the opinion of Park Theo, the Legendary Merchant of the Black Tower.]

[Slaves of the Green Tower- Turbo, Shark…]

[Slaves of the Golden Tower- Yuto, Marin…]

…

..

.

[The vote of a Legendary Merchant counts as 2 votes.]

The number of Legendary Merchants Theo had gathered(?) amounted to 17.

Considering the total number of Legendary Merchants was 25, nearly two-thirds were on Theo’s side.

The situation was already overwhelming to the point where there was no need to count votes.

[Rolling dice to determine the Lucky Legendary Merchant’s vote count.]

[The dice numbers range from 1 to 6.]

[Oops! One more dice is accidentally rolled.]

Here, Theo’s luck exploded once again.

[The first die rolls a 6.]

[The second die rolls a 6.]

[Lucky Legendary Merchant Park Theo’s votes are counted as 12 votes.]

With his absurd luck, Theo crushed an already won contest.

[Out of a total of 50 votes, 44 are in favor of impeaching Hel, the God of Merchants.]

[A majority vote supports impeachment. Hel can be impeached.]

[Would you really like to impeach Hel, the God of Merchants?]

“Yes, meow!”

This time, without hesitation, Theo really impeached Hel.

“No-!”

“What do you mean no?! How could you deceive us?”

Hel was grabbed by the collar and shaken violently by Leah, despair written all over her face.

Hiing… I’m ruined!

Having lost her divinity, she was now reduced to a mere supreme being with only brute strength.

Then.

[To replace Hel, the Lucky Legendary Merchant Park Theo is being offered the Divinity of the God of Merchants.]

[Would you like to receive the Divinity of the God of Merchants?]

A message appeared in front of Theo.

Naturally, Theo’s answer was…

“I don’t want it, meow!”

I’m going to stay with Chairman Park, meow!

It was a rejection. Theo’s top priority was always Sejun. If he became the God of Merchants, he could no longer be with Sejun.

When Theo refused,

[The position of the God of Merchants cannot remain vacant.]

[A temporary impeachment of Hel is recommended.]

[System 371] suggested that Hel be impeached only for a certain period. It knew it wouldn’t be impeached, but somehow, it didn’t feel like it was someone else’s issue.

“Puhuhut. Sounds good, meow!”

Theo accepted [System 371]’s suggestion and,

“Chairman Park, I’ve impeached Hel-nim, meow! But now we have to decide how long to impeach her for, meow!”

He scurried over to report to Sejun.

“What? You already impeached her?”

“Puhuhut. That’s right, meow! Since she stole Great Hybrid Chairman Park’s seeds, impeachment was only right, meow!”

“But you can decide the impeachment period too?”

“Puhuhut. That’s right, meow! Let’s impeach Hel-nim for, say, 1000 years, meow!”

“That’s too long. One month. A month sounds good. We can always impeach her again later anyway. Hehehe.”

“Puhuhut. As expected of Great Hybrid Chairman Park, so generous, meow! We’ll impeach Hel-nim for one month, meow!”

Once Hel’s impeachment period was decided,

[Hel, the God of Merchants, loses her Divinity for one month.]

A message appeared in front of Hel.

“Huh?! One month?! Thank you! Thank you!”

Hel, who had thought she would lose her divinity forever, was overwhelmed with emotion and bowed fervently in the direction of where Theo was.

Then.

[Cannot stay in Hel’s pawnshop due to lack of divinity.]

[Transferring to a temporary residence.]

She was kicked out of her pawnshop.

“Huh?! Hel?!”

“Oh. Patrick, good to see you.”

She arrived on the 9th floor of the 10th Tower where Patrick was staying, and Hel’s pawnshop was temporarily shut down for one month.

“If you’re staying here, you’ll have to pay rent to Sejun.”

“Huh? Rent?”

Of course, only the pawnshop was temporarily closed, Hel herself didn’t get to rest.

***

“Well then, I’ll be going now.”

Ssibal the 18th, who had summoned Leah, called a mushroom ant taxi and departed.

“Let’s eat.”

Sejun and the group sat down for dinner.

Theo ate grilled fish, and Iona ate stir-fried peanuts.

Kuehehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehe. Even cold candied sweet potatoes taste great!]

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hehe. Great Blackie is so happy!]

Cuengi and Blackie were happily enjoying candied sweet potatoes and roasted and dried sweet potatoes made from the leftover Extremely Delicious Royal Honey Sweet Potatoes they had at lunch.

The name “Extremely Delicious” was not wasted at all. It was truly sweet and delicious.

After dinner, as Sejun chatted with the group and the sky grew dark,

“I guess it’s time to sleep.”

He lay down in bed and helped with the Blackie Family with their apologies.

A little later.

Gururuk.

Corruption, with its grotesque appearance, showed up.

-Kuhuhu.

As usual, Corruption tried to scare Sejun by making the scariest face possible.

However.

“Making such a cute face is cheating.”

This corruption guy, the more I look at him, the better he seems. He was the type that grows on you.

Sejun had grown so attached that he could even find cuteness in Corruption’s monstrous appearance.

“Meow?!”

“Kyoot?!”

Kking?!

Of course, the others couldn’t agree with that sentiment.

104.28.193.250

And then.

-What?! You called me… I’m cu… cute?! What are you up to, you bastard?!

Why are you being nice to me?!

Rather, the corruption became scared of Sejun who kept making him harbor hope.
