Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 403

20km west of Houston, Texas, USA.

Kee-ack.

“Stop them!”

“Use fire magic!”

100,000 American hunters were creating barriers and fighting off the flesh-eating predators that swarmed like a horde of zombies.

People were smart. They understood why more flesh-eating predators kept coming, even after so many had been killed.

It was because of the seed inside the flesh-eating predators’ heads.

So, they tried firing missiles and using flamethrowers to get rid of the flesh-eating predators’ seeds, but Earth’s weapons did not work.

Fortunately, they discovered that the hunters’ magic was effective, especially fire magic.

However, there was no time to remove the seeds.

Kee-ack.

“Block them!”

“Mages, attack!”

It was already hard for them to fight the many predators.

“Have you contacted Captain K?”

“Well… he’s inside the tower, so it’s not easy to reach him.”

While American hunters were defending Houston and fighting the flesh-eating predators, the American CIA was searching for Han Tae-jun.

They wanted to contact Sejun and get Batbat’s help once again.

Robin and Peter, who had gone to Korea, approached the employees working at Hanra Building and gathered information, discovering one fact.

The employees had been instructed to cooperate unconditionally if a golden bat appeared.

Thanks to that, the CIA was 100% certain that Batbat was Sejun’s pet.

So, they were looking for Sejun to contact him, but Han Tae-jun was secluded in the tower.

Just as the American hunters were focused on Houston, other hunters around the world were focused on eliminating the flesh-eating predators on the 4th floor of the tower.

This was because of a quest that allowed them to accumulate contribution points.

The better the points, the better the rewards. So, the hunters worked hard to defeat the predators.

While America was looking for a way to ask Sejun for help…

Far away in Korea, the magical plant Flame was still focused on his job. [Good! You’re eating our sausages well,] he thought, happy that his sausages were helping people fight the monsters.

Black Tower, 99th floor.

Koohehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehe. I got some good herbs for Daddy!]

Kueng, who had obtained the herbs Sejun needed from the western forest, happily flew home in a Superman pose.

As Kueng got closer to home,

Thud.

Daddy, where are you?

He landed on the ground and looked for Sejun.

At that moment,

Sniff sniff.

…!!!

The scent of food he had only tasted once flowed into Kueng’s nose.

He had only tasted it once, but it was an unforgettable fragrance.

So-tteok-so-tteok!

Kueng hurriedly followed the scent into the kitchen.

And then,

Kueng!

[Daddy, Kueng is here!]

He clung to Sejun’s back, who was making so-tteok-so-tteok sauce, and rubbed his face against him as a greeting.

“Oh, Kueng is here?”

Kueng! Kueng!

[Yes! This is the herb for Daddy!]

Kueng took out two golden kudzu roots from his snack pouch.

[Golden Kudzu Root of Detoxification]

The two kudzu roots had the same name, but there was a difference in thickness, indicating something was different.

I should check the options first.

Sejun checked the options of the kudzu roots.

[Golden Kudzu Root of Detoxification]

This kudzu root has grown by absorbing the nutrients of poisonous potatoes planted nearby due to its obsession with survival.

Consuming it will increase your health by 10.

Consuming it will unlock the talent: D-grade Poison Resistance.

It tastes bitter.

Grade: D

[Golden Kudzu Root of Detoxification]

This kudzu root has grown by absorbing the nutrients of poisonous potatoes planted nearby due to its obsession with survival.

Consuming it will increase your health by 20.

Consuming it will unlock the talent: C-grade Poison Resistance.

It tastes bitter.

Usage Restriction: Talent: Those who have unlocked D-grade Poison Resistance, Health 100 or higher, Mana 100 or higher.

Grade: C

There was a reason why the thickness was different.

“One is D-grade, and the other is C-grade.”

That little Kueng…

Sejun seemed to know why Kueng had brought the kudzu root that could unlock the Poison Resistance talent.

Was it because I collapsed yesterday?

Kueng can eat all the so-tteok-so-tteok today.

“Kueng, wash your hands and sit down. I’ll make so-tteok-so-tteok for you soon.”

Sejun said to Kueng,

Crunch. Crunch.

He ate the thinner kudzu root first. It was bitter, but he chewed it diligently, thinking of Kueng’s sincerity.

[You have consumed the Golden Kudzu Root of Detoxification.]

[Health has increased by 10.]

[Talent: D-grade Poison Resistance has been unlocked.]

As soon as Sejun obtained D-grade Poison Resistance,

Crunch. Crunch.

He immediately ate the remaining kudzu root.

[You have consumed the Golden Kudzu Root of Detoxification.]

[Health has increased by 20.]

[Talent: C-grade Poison Resistance has been unlocked.]

While Sejun was eating the kudzu root,

Kueng! Kueng!

[Kueng has washed his hands! Kueng is ready to eat!]

Kueng hurriedly washed his hands, sat at the table, and informed Sejun of his status.

“Okay. Just a moment.”

Sejun started applying sauce to the so-tteok-so-tteok skewers and stacking them on a plate,

“All done.”

He quickly placed the plate with 10 layers of so-tteok-so-tteok skewers on the table.

Kueng!

[Little Daddy likes so-tteok-so-tteok too! Let’s call Little Daddy and eat together!]

“Ajax too?”

Kueng!

[Yes!]

Even taking care of Ajax.

Our Kueng is so kind.

“Okay. Ajax, summon.”

At Kueng’s words, Sejun summoned Ajax,

[Summoning Ajax, the slave of the White Tower.]

“Hyung! I missed you!”

Ajax hugged Sejun as soon as he appeared.

“But what is this smell? So-tteok-so-tteok?”

“Yeah. Kueng said that Little Daddy likes so-tteok-so-tteok, so he told me to call you.”

Kueng!

[Little Daddy likes so-tteok-so-tteok!]

“Thank you, Kueng!”

Ajax looked at Kueng warmly.

“Let’s eat now.”

Kueng!

“Okay! Hyung!”

While Kueng and Ajax were holding so-tteok-so-tteok skewers in both hands and eating,

“Here. Blackie, you eat too.”

Sejun cut the so-tteok-so-tteok into bite-sized pieces and put them in Fenrir’s bowl.

Kee-hit. Woof! Woof!

‘Hehe. It’s a new food! Good job!’

Fenrir praised Sejun for making a new food and ate the so-tteok-so-tteok.

…!!!

What is this?

It’s so delicious!!!!

Especially this meaty thing!

Smack. Smack. Smack.

Fenrir, who had encountered the sausage, the food of his life, following the dried sweet potato, was mindlessly focusing on attacking only the sausages,

Koohehehe.

“Eheehee.”

Kueng and Ajax each held so-tteok-so-tteok skewers in both hands, expressing their excitement by wiggling their butts with every bite.

And then,

[Your soul is filled with the outpouring of praise.]

[Mentality has increased by 3.]

“Hehehe. Delicious.”

Sejun was satisfied with their reactions and ate the so-tteok-so-tteok skewers.

After eating dinner,

“Guys, catch some fish for me.”

Sejun had Kueng and Ajax catch fish.

He had quite a few fish bones saved up now, but Theo would be increasing the number of skeleton slaves in the future, so he thought he should catch a lot of fish in advance.

Kueng!

[Kueng is good at catching fish!]

“Ooh-hoo. I’m really good at catching them too!”

While the two of them were diligently hunting fish in the pond,

[The seal of the Earth Jewel has been released.]

[Dwell, the God of the Well, who was sealed in the Earth Jewel, is released from the seal.]

[Dwell, the God of the Well, repays the one who released his seal.]

[Dwell, the God of the Well, creates a well on 1 pyeong of land to repay the favor.]

…

..

Three gods were released from the Earth Jewel that had been buried in the ground.

“Oh!”

Sejun, after seeing the messages, hurried to find the rewards from the three gods.

In the kitchen, he found a 1 pyeong carbonated water well created by Dwell, the God of the Well.

In the farm, he found a 1 pyeong marble path made of gold and jewels created by Marga, the God of Marble.

In the pond, he found a 1 pyeong pearl oyster farm created by Pearl, the God of Pearl.

Sejun was grateful for the gifts from the gods. He decided to build small shrines for them, as a way to show his thanks and respect, like others in the Tower did.

And Sejun created paths according to the rewards he received.

Sejun created shrines for the three gods.

“Blackie, let’s go to sleep now.”

He held Fenrir in his arms and lay down on the bed.

Kueng went to sleep with Pink Fur, and Ajax returned to the White Tower.

Gulp.

[You have consumed mugwort.]

[All stats have increased by 20.]

[Lifespan has increased by 3 months.]

[You have consumed bitter medicine.]

[Talent: Good medicine tastes bitter to the body is activated.]

[Health has increased by 9.]

Sejun ate the mugwort and fell into a deep sleep.

Sejun had eaten 20 mugworts today. Thanks to that, his lifespan had increased by 5 years.

Seed Shop Headquarters.

[Six tenant farmer mushroom ants of Park Sejun, the tower farmer of the Black Tower, have passed by your shrine.]

[Divinity has increased by 0.0006.]

“Hoo-hoot.”

As always, the diligence of the mushroom ants…

While Leia was pleased with the divinity that was rising well today and praising the mushroom ants’ diligence,

[Kueng, the herb gatherer of Park Sejun, the tower farmer of the Black Tower, has passed by your shrine.]

[Divinity has increased by 0.1.]

“Oh! It’s Kueng!”

Leia cheered at Kueng’s appearance.

This was because one Kueng gave as much divinity as 1000 mushroom ants passing by the shrine.

“Hoo. I was getting anxious because he hasn’t been coming lately…”

Leia, who had been worried that Kueng’s path had changed recently, let out a sigh of relief.

At that moment,

[Park Sejun, the tower farmer of the Black Tower, has passed by your shrine.]

[Divinity has increased by 0.5.]

“Oh! Sejun is here!!!”

Sejun was an existence that gave as much divinity as 5000 mushroom ants.

Thanks to that, Leia was able to invest quite a bit of divinity into divine artifact creation today with her boosted divinity.

While Leia was creating divine artifacts,

“Leia, new gods have arrived!”

Another god came to find Leia.

“Really?!”

Leia hurried to the plaza,

“Hello, everyone!”

“Dwell, long time no see!”

“Marga, you were also released from the seal by Park Sejun, right?”

“Pearl, it’s been a long time!”

The non-combat gods were welcoming the three new gods.

And then,

“But what did you guys give as a reward?”

The topic of the gods’ conversation soon turned to what rewards the three gods had given to Sejun.

This was because Sejun built a shrine for those who received the rewards.

“I gave a carbonated water well.”

“I gave a marble path made of gold and jewels.”

“I gave a black pearl oyster farm that controls gravity.”

When the three gods were talking about their rewards,

[Park Sejun, the tower farmer of the Black Tower, has built a shrine (3 pyeong) for Dwell, the God of the Well.]

[Divinity has increased by 9.]

…

..

Sejun created a 3 pyeong path for Dwell Road, a 1 pyeong path for Marga Road, and a 0.5 pyeong path for Pearl Road.

Unfortunately, Sejun just thought of the pearl oyster farm that Pearl made as just an oyster farm.

“Oh! A shrine has been built!”

“Wow!”

“Congratulations!”

When a shrine was built for the three gods, the other gods congratulated them and cheered,

“Park Sejun!”

“Park Sejun!”

The gods began to chant the name of Sejun, who had built the shrine.

The atmosphere was getting more and more exciting.

However,

“How noisy.”

A combat god who was passing by interfered again.

The non-combat gods had 12 shrines that could self-supply divinity, but they were still far behind the combat gods.

Just you wait!

The non-combat gods looked forward to the day when they could loudly call Sejun’s name,

“Park Sejun…”

“Park Sejun…”

They chanted Sejun’s name in a small voice that could not be heard.

And then,

‘If I send a believer and ask Park Sejun… he will build my shrine too, right?’

The non-combat gods, who did not have a shrine, were desperately looking for an existence that would become their believer somewhere in the world,

Black Tower, 96th floor.

“Poo-hoot. We’ve finally arrived, nya!”

Theo arrived in front of the White Bone Castle, a giant white castle ruled by Regius, the Lord of Bones.
