Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 337

Blue Tower, 99th floor.

Thump.

“We greet the great Blue Dragon!”

A figure in blue robes knelt before a massive, shiny ice sculpture of a dragon, showing respect. The blue light reflected off it.

Then,

“Zhelga, what’s the situation?”

The voice of Kin Aster, leader of the Blue Dragon, echoed from the ice sculpture.

“The tower is submerged up to the 62nd floor, and it looks like an ice age is starting from the 20th floor,” Zhelga, the Blue Tower’s top farmer, replied.

“Hmm. That’s really bad!” Kin’s voice deepened at Zhelga’s response.

Just as the Red Tower was experiencing drought and desertification because the Red Dragon’s fire energy was too strong there, the Blue Tower was facing floods and an ice age because the Blue Dragon’s water energy was too strong here.

“How much Fire Elixir is left?”

“About a million.”

“Barely enough. That’ll only last about a year at best.”

“I apologize. The amount of Fire Elixir produced has decreased because the fields where they grow Flamegrass, the most important ingredient, are getting smaller because of the ice.”

The Fire Elixir, magically made by Zhelga, makes strong heat to fight the water energy when used.

But the heat doesn’t last long, and it only works in a small area. It only slows down the monsoon and ice age a little.

The two continued their conversation for a while.

“Understood. Keep trying your best for now.”

“Yes. Then I’ll be going!”

The conversation ended without any progress. Kin Aster sighed heavily.

“I’m a Godslayer?”

Sejun couldn’t understand how he had killed a god.

“Was there a god named Kaiman in this corn?”

‘Did I accidentally break its neck?’ Sejun briefly examined the corn he had just harvested, but…

“Nah. Couldn’t be.”

He quickly dismissed the thought.

Then…

“Is it Chairman Teo again?”

When something incomprehensible happened, Teo was usually involved, so Sejun assumed it was Teo’s doing.

Scritch. Scritch.

[You have harvested Corn of Stamina.]

[Your job experience has slightly increased.]

[Proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 8 has slightly increased.]

[The expiration date of the harvested crops is extended by 5 days because the Scythe of Freshness makes things cold.]

[You have gained 70 experience.]

Sejun harvested more corn.

A moment later.

“Heh heh heh. I’ve harvested a lot.”

As Sejun looked at the corn he had harvested with satisfaction,

[Your soul is filling up.]

[Your mental strength has increased by 1.]

His mental strength increased along with the message.

“Alright. Now I need to harvest the cherry tomatoes.”

Sejun continued to harvest the bright red cherry tomatoes.

And when the harvest was over,

“Phew. I feel accomplished.”

[Your soul is filling up.]

[Your mental strength has increased by 1.]

His mental strength increased again.

When the corn and cherry tomato harvest was complete,

“Hyung! I caught a tuna!”

Thud!

Ajax placed a huge, shiny silver tuna in front of Sejun with a proud expression. ‘I caught such a big tuna, so praise me!’

“Good job, Ajax.”

Pat. Pat.

Sejun patted Ajax’s head and praised him.

“Hyung! Make something delicious with this for me!”

“Alright. Then let’s have tuna sashimi today!”

“Okay, Hyung!”

Sejun began to prepare the tuna sashimi.

‘Teo likes tuna too, I wonder when he’ll be back?’

Sejun set aside small portions of Teo’s favorite parts, waiting for him.

Tower 84th floor.

“Nyaa…”

Teo, waking up, lay on the floor, looking sad.

“Kkyung… Teo-nim, what’s wrong?”

Iona called out to Teo, worried. She had confirmed that the other energy had disappeared, but Teo’s condition was strange.

“Iona, I had a dream, nyaa…”

“A nightmare?”

Iona assumed it was a nightmare since he had fought hard against the enemy who wanted to control his body.

“No, nyaa… It was a happy dream, nyaa…”

“Kkyut? Then why are you sad?”

“Because it’s an impossible dream, nyaa… I woke up before I could hug the knees of Chairman Great Park, nyaa!”

Teo thought the events in the mental world were a dream.

“Kkyut kkyut kkyut! Stop being silly and let’s go back quickly! Sejun-nim is waiting for you!”

“That’s right, nyaa! Teo has the real Chairman Park, nyaa!”

Teo had a great realization at Iona’s words. ‘Puhuhut. Now that I think about it, I can just grow Chairman Park to be huge, nyaa!’

“It’s all thanks to Iona for giving me inspiration, nyaa!”

“Kkyut kkyut kkyut! Really?!”

“Puhuhut. That’s right, nyaa!”

Teo began the project to make Sejun bigger. ‘Chairman Park is great, so he can grow bigger, nyaa!’

“Puhuhut. First, I’ll take this, nyaa!”

Thump.

Teo, fully regaining his motivation, took the shining green gem from the statue of the crocodile god Kaiman.

“Iona, take the items from the first room, nyaa!”

“Kkyut kkyut kkyut. Yes!”

At Teo’s words, Iona took the heavy golden statues shaped like animals from the first room.

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, wait for me, nyaa! Teo will bring good things, nyaa!”

Teo also put the items from the second room into his bundle.

“Puhuhut. It’s over, nyaa!”

“Kkyut kkyut kkyut. I’m done too!”

Teo and Iona took everything from the treasure room.

“Puhuhut. Let’s go quickly, nyaa!”

“Kkyut kkyut kkyut. Yes!”

Teo and Iona headed to the 99th floor of the tower.

And…

The Kaiman Kingdom, where the race god, royalty, royal castle, and treasures had disappeared, quietly vanished from the 84th floor of the Black Tower.

“Brachio-nim, I’m sorry. Tier-nim is currently asleep…”

“Tier too? Understood.”

Brachio, having visited the White Tower and the Red Tower, arrived at the Purple Tower.

“I think something is wrong…”

He couldn’t stop thinking something was wrong.

“I should go to the Black Tower one last time.”

Brachio didn’t give up and flew to the Black Tower. This time, he decided to meet Aileen, the administrator of the Black Tower, instead of Kaiser.

He thought it would be easier to deal with her since she was young.

Brachio arrived at the office of the Black Tower.

“Hello, Grandma Brachio. Are you here to make a deal?”

“Aileen smiled warmly, chuckling. ‘Our Sejun’s customers are growing!'”

“A deal?”

“Yes. If you want to deal with our Sejun, you need the contract and…” Aileen explained in detail to Brachio how to trade with Sejun.

Brachio thought angrily, “So, *that’s* why they wanted to clean up the Red Mist! They’ve been secretly trading Samyang brew and black beans!” Thanks to this, Brachio understood why the other dragons were so keen on cleaning up the Red Mist.

Brachio’s eyes narrowed, his voice suddenly deep. “But what is this?” he rumbled. “I sense a dark power here… the power of destruction?”

“Ah, that’s…” As Aileen explained about the Fenrir’s core fragment,

Brachio leaned closer, his eyes gleaming. ‘So, about these Topcoins…’ he began, rubbing his claws together. ‘We’re splitting them, right? Fifty-fifty?’

Aileen nodded matter-of-factly. “Yes. Just like the grandfathers always did.”

‘Good, good,’ Brachio said, a satisfied smirk spreading across his face. ‘Fifty-fifty it is.’

Just as Brachio raised his claw, ready to pour magic into Fenrir’s core fragment, a booming laugh echoed through the administrator zone.

“Kha ha ha! Making money without us, Brachio?”

“Huh?!” Brachio spun around, startled. “Kaiser? Kellion? Lamter? Tier? What are you doing here?”

The four dragons strode into the zone, their eyes widening as they saw Brachio’s hand hovering over the dark orb.

“Don’t tell me…” Kaiser growled, his scales bristling.

Brachio chuckled darkly. “Ho ho ho. Traitors, you say? Perhaps you should look in a mirror.” His smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression.

And then, with a mighty roar, Brachio unleashed his magic. Golden energy surged from his claw, engulfing the Fenrir’s core in a blinding light. The air crackled and hummed, and with a final, powerful *whoosh*, the destructive energy within was utterly extinguished. For Brachio, in his true dragon form, it was as simple as breathing.

A soft shimmer rippled outwards from the core fragment.

“No way!” Kaiser wailed.

“Hey! This isn’t fair!” Kellion roared.

“My Topcoins! Gone!” Lamter cried in despair.

“That’s cheating!” Tier stomped his foot, smoke puffing from his nostrils.

The four dragons slumped, defeated, as a cascade of shimmering Topcoins rained down into the administrator zone, none of which would be theirs.

Sejun was enjoying his coffee break after lunch.

[The Tower’s administrator says that he has completely eliminated the power of destruction from Fenrir’s core fragment.] Aileen returned the appraised item.

“Really? Thanks.” Sejun expressed his gratitude to Aileen and checked the options of the black orb in his hand.

[Purified Fenrir’s Core Fragment] The name had changed as the power of destruction disappeared, but the color of the orb remained the same.

[Purified Fenrir’s Core Fragment] A fragment of the core of Fenrir, the wolf who hunts the first seat of the Apostles of Destruction. It contains 0.01% of the total core power. The power within the core has been greatly reduced as the power of destruction has been completely removed. Upon consumption, all stats increase by 1000. Attraction occurs when there are other Fenrir’s core fragments nearby. Usage Restriction: All stats 5000 or higher. Grade: Cannot be measured

Even with the reduced power, all stats increased by 1000.

“Wow. It’s good… too good… but I can’t use it. The usage restriction is all stats 5000 or higher…” It was too high a condition for Sejun.

Just as Sejun was feeling disappointed,

[Quest has occurred.] [10th Tower Quest: Use the purified Fenrir’s core fragment to find the other core fragments of Fenrir and secure the four fragments of the door leading to the remaining 10th Tower to restore the door.] Reward: All stats +300, 1 job combat skill

A quest message appeared. The reward was all stats +300 and another chance to hope for a job combat skill.

“But… where am I supposed to find them?” Sejun said, looking at the black orb in his hand.

Perhaps there were no other core fragments nearby, as the Fenrir’s core fragment showed no attraction at all.

“Should I just wander around?” As Sejun was pondering how to complete the 10th Tower quest…

[Would you like to support Black Tower farmer Park Sejun to complete the 10th Tower quest?]

An alert appeared on the crystal ball managing the Black Tower administrator zone.

Aileen smiled warmly. “Of course! Who else but me would support our Sejun?!”

[The authority to use the Destruction Detector is transferred to Black Tower administrator Aileen Fritani until the 10th Tower quest is completed.] [You have acquired the authority to use the Destruction Detector.]

At the same time, a new function was added to the crystal ball along with the message.

Aileen giggled happily. “Sejun, wait a little, I’ll find them all for you!” Aileen hurriedly began searching for the power of destruction with the crystal ball.

[Black Tower administrator Aileen Fritani is supporting the 10th Tower quest.]

A message appeared in front of Sejun.

“Huh? Aileen?” Thanks to this, Sejun also knew that Aileen would be joining the quest.

[The Tower’s administrator says that she is pleased to be able to join you on the quest.] [The Tower’s administrator confidently says that she will find all the other core locations of Fenrir.]

“Okay. Thanks.” Sejun didn’t have to wander around all the floors thanks to her.

“Aileen, is there anything you want to eat as a snack?” He decided to support Aileen with a snack.

[The Tower’s administrator says that she wants to eat the hotcakes you made.]

“Alright. Wait a moment.” Sejun went to the kitchen and took out flour, butter, and other ingredients to make hotcake batter.

The kitchen filled with the comforting aroma of butter and flour as Sejun began to cook. The batter sizzled on the pan, a warm and inviting sound.

Theo tiptoed into the kitchen.

“Vice President Theo, you’re here?” Sejun greeted Theo, who was approaching him from behind, without even turning around.

“Meow! No fun, meow!” Theo grumbled and clung to Sejun’s leg.

He diligently rubbed his face against Sejun’s knee. “Hehe. Chairman Park’s knee, I missed you, meow!”

“That’s right. Vice President Theo, what happened when you went down? Suddenly, a message appeared saying I killed a god named Kaiman.”

“Hehe. That’s because, meow! Chairman Park saved me in my dream, meow!” Theo still thought that meeting Kaiman and the giant Sejun was a dream.

He excitedly explained to Sejun what had happened in the mental world.

“I see. Hehe. Did I unknowingly do something amazing?”

“Hehe. That’s right, meow! Chairman Park is amazing, meow!” The two of them accepted the absurd idea that dreams and reality were connected.

“Chairman Park, will you save me next time too, meow?”

“Of course! Trust me! I’ll save Vice President Theo from anywhere.”

“Hehe. I understand, meow! I, Vice President Theo, only trust Chairman Park, meow!” Theo’s faith in Sejun grew even stronger.

“Vice President Theo, aren’t you hungry? Eat this. I made it today.” Sejun took a spoonful of Churu made with tuna, which he had set aside for Theo, and brought it to Theo’s mouth.

“Hehe. Thank you, meow!”

Theo devoured the Churu. “As expected, the Churu made by Chairman Park is the best, meow!” Theo ate the handmade Churu made by Sejun and was reborn as an even stronger fanatic.
