Solo Farming In The Tower

TL: Hanguk

PR: MiniPixelZ

66th Floor of the Black Tower.

“Meow… There’s no pull, meow…”

When Theo looked dejected,

“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Theo~nim, cheer up. There are still 66 floors left.”

Iona comforted him,

“Puhuhut. Got it, meow! I’ll cheer up again, meow!”

“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. That’s the spirit.”

Reinvigorated by Iona’s comfort, Theo regained his energy and descended the tower.

And then

[Black Tower 66F, Red Orc Far Distance Watch: The two have just gone down.]

[Black Tower 65F, Lizardman Rilde: I’m scared. (Trembling)]

[Black Tower 59F, Green Goblin Paku: They’re not as scary as you think. As long as you don’t make them mad.]

The pair’s location was being shared in real time with the Black Tower residents through the full-time employee communication network.

***

The next afternoon.

“I guess I should prepare a gift for Aileen too?”

Sejun, who was cooking at the Temple of the Creator God, suddenly spoke up.

He believed Theo would bring good things, but if that’s all he gave, it would seem insincere.

No. To be precise, he was anxious that his feelings wouldn’t be properly conveyed.

I need a gift that contains my heart.

Tatatak.

“What should I prepare?”

While shredding carrots, Sejun fell into thought.

As he continued shredding carrots for a while and was about to take out onions,

“Ah.”

An idea popped into his head.

“I’ll sing her a song!”

With some unknown confidence, Sejun decided to give a song as a gift.

‘A song I made myself.’

And it would be an original song.

“She’ll definitely like it. Hehehe.”

Sejun grinned as he imagined Aileen being delighted listening to his song.

“I’ll make it later at dawn with Paespaes. Hmm hmm hmm.”

Chop chop chop.

Having decided on Aileen’s birthday gift, Sejun felt relieved and cheerfully chopped onions while humming, and before he knew it, it was night.

“Alright. Everyone to your positions!”

Moo!

Kkwek!

Whirr!

The farm members responded to Sejun’s command and dispersed.

As time passed and midnight came, a blue moon rose in the night sky, bathing the land in blue light.

The Blue Moon had risen.

And then

Ppiik!

Ppiik.

Ppyak!

Ppyu-ppyu?

Ppyaek!

104.28.193.250

Using the Blue Moon Jump, Wolgang, Wolha, Heuk Wol-bok, ChuChu, and Black Torch appeared.

“Hey guys, you’re here?”

While Sejun greeted the rabbits,

Ppyu-ppyu?! Ppyu-ppyu!

[Master’s not here?! Hooray!]

ChuChu rejoiced at the absence of Iona. She didn’t have to do homework until the next Blue Moon.

No way!

I was finally able to sleep comfortably lately…

On the other hand, Black Rabbit turned pale and despaired.

“What have you been up to lately, Black Torch?”

Ppyaek! Ppyaek.

[I’ve been training hard! Ppihit. I think I can beat Uncle now.]

In response to Sejun’s question, Black Torch replied with a sly smile,

“What?! Huh. You’ve still got 300 days before you can beat your uncle.”

How dare you!

Sejun shook his index finger at Black Torch as if to say, not a chance.

Ppyaek. Ppyaek.

[No way. I’ll win.]

“Alright. Then let’s ask the Minotaur King to test us.”

Ppyaek!

[Okay!]

To determine who was stronger, Sejun and Black Torch went to find the Minotaur King,

Moo.

[Sejun~nim can endure for 15 minutes with two fingers, and Black Torch… 14 minutes and 55 seconds? No, 57 seconds.]

“Huh?!”

Though Sejun won over Black Torch by a whopping (?) 3 seconds, he didn’t feel happy at all.

But I ate the Black Bean Set?

Having eaten the full +2 Transcendence Black Bean Set, Transcendence Black Bean, Sturdy Strength Yellow Bean, Sturdy Stamina Red Bean, Agility Green Bean, and Magical Blue Bean, his stats were increased by 32 times.

However

Even after eating an SSS-grade carrot, I lost to my uncle?!

It was the same for Black Rabbit.

With his unique Talent: Carrot Doping, which amplifies all stats for 1 hour based on the carrot’s grade, Black Torch’s stats were also increased by 30 times.

It was an incredible talent befitting the legendary Black Rabbit.

Black Torch has gotten this strong, I need to grow stronger too!

Uncle hasn’t been slacking either! I need to step it up!

As Sejun and Black Torch acknowledged each other,

Moo.

[You both have gotten stronger.]

The Minotaur King looked pleased at their growth.

However, thinking about it carefully, it became clear that among the three, the Minotaur King had grown the most significantly strong, since he withstood the doped duo with just two fingers.

Because in the past, when the two had tested themselves, Sejun lasted 3 minutes, and Black Torch lasted 2 minutes and 40 seconds.

In the end, if their growth over time were evaluated in an undoped state,

Minotaur King >>>>>>>> Black Torch > Sejun

was the resulting outcome.

While they were undergoing the test,

Rustle rustle.

Blue-colored crops imbued with the Blue Moon’s energy appeared on the farm,

“Let’s begin.”

Sejun and his companions began harvesting.

A little while later.

“Guys, take care!”

The rabbit family, taking the SSS-grade Blue Moon carrots and regular carrots Sejun had packed for them, went down.

Kuong.

[Sejun~nim, sleep well.]

Kueng!

[Dad, sleep well!]

“Mm. Sleep tight.”

Sejun said goodnight to Cuengi and Pink-fur,

“Blackie, time to sleep.”

Hehe.

Then, he lay down with the Blackie Family on the bed and closed his eyes.

And then

Kkirorong.

Eomdorong.

Kkirurung.

…

..

.

Once the Blackie Family had fallen asleep,

Ssh.

He gently laid the sleeping Blackie Family off his chest and stepped outside.

Then

Flap. Flap.

(Pip-pip! Sejun~nim, why are you up?)

Paespaes, who had been playing alone, flew over to Sejun joyfully.

“I’ve got something to do.”

(Pip-pip? Something to do?)

“Yeah. Paespaes, could you do me a favor?”

(Pip-pip! Yes! What is it?)

Without even hearing what the request was, Paespaes immediately accepted and then asked what it was.

“Not here. First, make a dimensional gate for me.”

(Pip-pip! Okay!)

Swoosh.

At Sejun’s words, Paespaes quickly created a dimensional gate.

Step. Step.

Sejun stepped into the gate Paespaes had created.

Then,

[You have arrived at Level 4 World <Tsuyne>.]

A message appeared before Sejun.

“Tsuyne?”

So this is Tsuyne?

Hehehe. That means there’s a treasure here.

As Sejun grinned with excitement,

(Pip-pip? Sejun~nim, why are you smiling like that?)

Paespaes asked in a concerned voice, worried about Sejun’s state.

“Ah. Paespaes, this place is called Tsuyne.”

(Pip-pip? This is it?!)

It was so hard to find when we were looking for it, and now we’ve found it just like that?!

Paespaes was greatly surprised by Sejun’s words.

“We found it thanks to you, Paespaes.”

Sejun praised Paespaes while lifting him onto his hand and stroking his head.

(Pahehe.)

Paespaes enjoyed being petted and had a joyful time.

Then,

“Now I’ll tell you the favor. Paespaes, let’s make a song together.”

Sejun told Paespaes his request.

(Pip-pip? A song?)

“Yeah.”

(Pip-pip! But I haven’t even used my coupon yet?!)

“Mm. This is a favor I’m asking.”

(Pip-pip! Sure!)

Paespaes responded with a happy voice at Sejun’s words.

“First, let’s go somewhere farther from the gate.”

(Pip-pip. Okay.)

The two moved to a place where no one could overhear the song.

“I’m going to make a song to give Aileen as a birthday present.”

They began creating the song in earnest.

(Pip-pip. Then how about starting with this? ‘Though we cannot meet’.)

Paespaes added lyrics while singing the tune he composed on the spot with his clear voice.

“Oh. Nice. We feel each other~ We’ll meet someday~ Because we are destined~”

Sejun continued, adding silly and cliché lyrics to the song Paespaes had started.

(Pip-pip. Great! Then…)

No matter how terribly Sejun sang, musical genius Paespaes made it sound good.

Even though I made it, it’s pretty decent?

Thanks to that, Sejun got excited and worked joyfully with Paespaes to complete the song.

At that moment,

“Who’s there?”

Someone approached from a distance and asked.

They had been camping, and came over out of curiosity after hearing the singing.

“Ah. Sorry for being loud. I thought no one was around.”

“No worries. I couldn’t sleep anyway. Um… If it’s okay, may I listen from here?”

“Of course.”

Sejun allowed the man to listen and continued making the song with Paespaes. They only had a few hours to work, so there was no time to waste.

A little while later.

When the song was finished,

“Um… actually, I’m a bard. Would it be alright if I sang that song?”

The man asked with an earnest expression. With no popular songs to perform, he hadn’t been requested to sing anywhere, but he had a strong feeling that this song would be a huge hit.

“I’m sorry. I’m going to give this song to my girlfriend as a gift. But I’ll teach you something else instead.”

Sejun shared one of the songs he knew with the man.

(Pip-pip. Just sing it like this.)

Since Sejun’s rhythm was off, Paespaes sang it again properly and taught it to the bard.

“Well, we’ll be on our way.”

“Thank you!”

As Sejun and Paespaes left, the bard practiced the song he learned until sunrise and immediately went down to the village,

“Now, I’m tired of it, wild bee (wild bee)” (TL: This is from the song Wild Bee (땡벌) which is a trot genre song)

He sang the song he learned from Sejun at the tavern.

And in the future, the man would be recorded in the musical history of <Tsuyne> as a legendary bard who popularized a new genre.

***

“Hngh hngh hngh. Hng hng.”

Humming the song he just made, Sejun returned to the Black Tower when,

[The Tower’s Administrator asks where you’ve been, staying up without sleep.]

Aileen spoke to him.

“Huh?! Ah. Paespaes said he found the world with a hidden treasure. Right, Paespaes?”

Flustered, Sejun quickly answered and tried to prompt Paespaes’ support.

(Pip-pip?! Ah. Yes… that’s right…)

Not good at lying, Paespaes answered with a shaky voice and gave off an obviously suspicious vibe.

[The Tower’s Administrator cheerfully says to hurry and move the treasure into her storage.]

Thankfully, Aileen was too excited by the mention of treasure to notice Paespaes’ awkwardness.

“Uh… I haven’t actually found the treasure yet. I was planning to go with the guys after breakfast.”

And so, treasure hunting was added to Sejun’s already busy schedule.

I better get some work done before breakfast.

Sejun decided to stop by the 10th Tower first. He couldn’t go to the Calamity Farm because Theo wasn’t there.

Click.

Sejun turned the key, opened the door to the 10th Tower, and stepped inside.

[Hel, the god who lost her divinity, tells you to hurry up and collect the rent.]

Hel spoke to him. Though a month had passed since the impeachment period ended, she still hadn’t paid rent and couldn’t return, so Hel had been waiting.

“Oh.”

At the same time, a small glass vial appeared in Sejun’s hand.

[Elixir of Charisma]

→ Drinking this elixir increases charisma for 1 hour. With high charisma, you can overcome your opponent’s presence or suppress them to conduct favorable transactions.

→ The effect has greatly decreased as the creator’s divinity has disappeared.

→ Remaining amount: 5 drops

→ Usage Restriction: None

→ Creator: Hel, the god who lost her divinity

→ Grade: B

“Charisma?”

And it’s a B grade?! What am I supposed to do with this?

Though Sejun wasn’t thrilled with the elixir’s effect and grade, a promise was a promise.

“Okay, I’ll lift your impeachment now.”

He reinstated Hel and began farm work.

***

58th Floor of the Black Tower.

“Meow…”

Theo stretched out his front paw and focused his attention.

At that moment,

Kyaaung!

[Theo hyung isn’t at his spot right now! Let’s hurry and go up!]

Theo heard Baektang’s impudent voice in his ear. And the content was even impudent.

“How dare you aim for Chairman Park’s lap, meow!”

Theo was furious.

I’ll get there first, meow!

He forgot all about looking for a gift and immediately used Light Speed Meow-Step, dashing straight for the 99th floor.

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I missed you, meow!”

“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. I came too.”

“Oh?! You’re back already?”

Kueng!

[It’s big bro!]

Kkihit. Kking!

[Hihi. Big bro, welcome!]

He clung to Sejun’s face just as he was about to step through the dimensional gate.

And Then

“Meow?! Chairman Park, I feel the pull, meow!”

Theo shouted triumphantly and pointed in the direction where he felt the pull.
