Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 412

Somewhere in the merchant passage connecting the 10th and 20th floors of the Green Tower.

“Kurta, let’s run away with the money,” Eokta said.

“Yeah. If we have that money, the boss will forgive us even if we go back,” another troll added.

Eokta, a mid-level boss of the Undying Clan, and his other subordinates were trying to persuade Kurta, the youngest, as they walked.

However, Kurta, who had become loyal to Theo, flatly refused.

“No! I can’t betray Theo Park!” Kurta exclaimed.

Eokta was angry. *Kurta is the youngest, but he is acting like the boss!* he thought.

Eokta wanted to just beat Kurta up and take the money, but he couldn’t because the contract forbade slaves from fighting each other.

“Why are you doing this, maknae? What if you run into other Undying Clan members?!” Eokta asked.

“Yeah. You’ll die,” another troll threatened.

But that made the situation worse.

“Hyungs, I’m going to tell Theo Park everything later! And since Theo Park chose me to speak for him, please use honorifics with me from now on!” Kurta declared.

The youngest, constantly told by his hyungs to betray Theo, finally awakened as the representative.

“What?!” Eokta exclaimed.

“Kurta, are you crazy?!” another troll asked.

“Ahem! I am recognized by Theo Park as the representative! Follow my orders!” Kurta said proudly.

“We’ll see,” Eokta muttered.

“Good. Wak hyung, I will report your words ‘We’ll see’ to Theo Park,” Kurta replied.

“Huh?!” Wak exclaimed.

After that, the trolls quietly moved towards the 35th floor of the tower, where the headquarters of the Wandering Merchant Association was located.

Unlike the Black Tower, the Green Tower had the headquarters of the Wandering Merchant Association on the 35th floor.

Black Tower, 99th floor.

“Oof,” Sejun said as he opened his eyes in bed.

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

[Swamp, the God of the Swamp, sealed in the Earth Jewel, is released from the seal.]

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

[Swamp, the God of the Swamp, repays his kindness by turning one pyeong of the road into a swamp.]

“A swamp, huh….” Sejun wondered.

A golden swamp? A jewel swamp? What is it?

“Nyaa….” Theo meowed.

Sejun picked up Theo to wear on his knee to check the swamp.

“Squeak….” Kamangi squeaked.

After putting Kamangi in a sling bag, he got out of bed and marked the date on the wall. Day 405 of his stay began.

Sejun came outside and wandered around the farm to find the swamp.

A little later, he wondered, “Why isn’t it here?”

After searching the entire farm and not finding the swamp road, he thought, *Could it be the kitchen?*

Sejun headed to the kitchen and found the brown swamp created by Swamp, the God of the Swamp, next to the milk spring.

“Isn’t this…?” Sejun paused.

It was the devil’s chocolate jam, Notella!!!

“Hehe. Swamp-nim, you are a very excellent god,” Sejun said happily.

The God Swamp thought, *This chocolate swamp is a good gift! Sejun likes my gift!*

[The seals of five gods have been released.]

[The quest conditions have been met.]

[As a reward for achieving the quest conditions, you have acquired 5 drops of the Elixir of Growth.]

Along with the message, a small glass bottle containing a liquid that emitted a brilliant light of various colors appeared in Sejun’s hand.

“This is the Elixir of Growth?” Sejun wondered.

Sejun stared at the light emitted by the elixir as if possessed and checked the options of the Elixir of Growth.

[Elixir of Growth]

An elixir containing a very faint aura of the Supreme Creator God.

Upon consumption, grants 1 million experience points.

Upon consumption, greatly increases the lowest stat among Strength, Stamina, Agility, and Magic Power by 10, and the proficiency of one of your job skills.

Every time you consume 10 drops of the Elixir of Growth, all stats increase by 100.

Remaining amount: 5 drops

Usage restriction: Tower Farmer of the Black Tower

Creator: Emila Ibenes, Apostle of the Creator God

Grade: SSS

“What is this?” Sejun wondered.

It raises so many things at once?

It was the first time he had seen an item that simultaneously increased experience, job skill proficiency, and stats.

Sejun felt very strong after seeing the elixir. He really wanted to drink it.

So this is the Elixir of Growth…

Sejun immediately drank the Elixir of Growth.

The taste is… Ew!

Like the healthy green juice my mom made for me when I was young.

Gulp. Gulp.

Sejun hurriedly drank water to swallow the Elixir of Growth.

[You have consumed 5 drops of the Elixir of Growth.]

[You have gained 5 million experience points.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have gained 1 bonus stat.]

[Strength increases by 10.]

Thanks to that, he leveled up to level 88, and his agility, the lowest among Sejun’s stats, increased by 50.

And the proficiency of the job skills Magic Power Seed Sowing, Harvesting, Crop Gigantification, You Are a Field, and Greenhouse increased.

Sejun, who drank the Elixir of Growth, used the skill with Miller’s Hoe to create a Swamp Road.

[Swamp Road]

Swamp, the God of the Swamp, rewarded us with the devil’s chocolate jam swamp. He was a very, very excellent god.

“Now I have to make breakfast,” Sejun said.

Sejun, who made the road, returned to the kitchen to make breakfast.

A little later, Kkuengi came into the kitchen, greeting him energetically.

“Kkueng!”

[Dad, did you sleep well!]

“Kkuengi, try this,” Sejun said, spreading chocolate jam on a baguette he baked himself and putting it in Kkuengi’s mouth.

“Kkueng?! Kkueng!”

[What is this?! It’s really delicious!]

Kkuengi, excited by the delicious food, wiggled his butt.

“Squeak!”

[Delicious!]

Kamangi also got excited and ate with chocolate jam all over his mouth.

Indeed, the devil’s jam.

“Theo Vice President, do you want to eat too?” Sejun asked.

“No! Theo Vice President will eat grilled fish,” Theo replied.

However, even the devil’s jam didn’t work for the fish lover.

As breakfast ended, Theo said, “Hehe. Chairman Park, I’m off!”

“Okay. Have a good day,” Sejun replied.

“Okay!” Theo said.

Theo went to work on the 1st floor of the Green Tower, with a grilled fish lunch box baked by Sejun in his bundle.

Seed Shop Headquarters.

[Black Tower Farmer Park Sejun has built a temple (7 pyeong) for Swamp, the God of the Swamp.]

[Divinity increases by 20.]

“Wow….” one god said.

“7 pyeong….” another added.

While other non-combat gods were surprised to see the size of the temple Swamp received, Swamp smiled as he checked the size of the temple Sejun had built for him.

“Hehehe. As I expected,” Swamp chuckled.

Swamp, who had been continuously trapped in the damaged Earth Jewel, realized one thing while watching the size of the temples that other gods received as rewards from Sejun after being released from their seals: Park Sejun is more generous with food than with gold or jewels.

So he chose food as a reward, and as he expected, Sejun rewarded him with a giant temple.

“Everyone, gather around. Let me tell you the story of how I got a giant temple from Park Sejun!” Swamp announced.

“Oh! Really?!” one god asked.

“Tell us quickly!” another urged.

“Ahem,” Swamp cleared his throat.

Rea, the God of Abundance, also subtly approached and listened to Swamp’s words.

A little later, one god said, “Oh! Park Sejun likes food more than wealth! I should keep that in mind when asking him for favors later.”

“I see. Park Sejun was different from the humans who covet wealth!” another added.

“As expected of Park Sejun!” a third exclaimed.

“Park Sejun!”

“Park Sejun!”

The non-combat gods cheered Sejun’s name, happy that Sejun was a more upright human than they thought.

However, when they heard the sound of a combat god passing by from the next building, they quickly lowered their voices.

“Park Sejun….”

“Park Sejun….”

Green Tower, 1st floor.

“10 roasted sweet potatoes, please!” one hunter requested.

“I’ll take 10 corns!” another added.

The hunters who filled the shopping street on the 1st floor were buying crops from Sejun’s shop.

In the very front row of such hunters, 30 hunters were standing, eating food.

“But when does the auction start?!” one hunter asked.

“First, that cat named Theo Park has to come,” another replied.

They wanted to buy the sturdy blade scallions that Theo was selling. They went outside the tower yesterday and directly confirmed the tremendous effect of the sturdy blade scallions.

“Today, we will secure more than 100,000!” one hunter declared.

“We have to take it at least once!” another added.

They were here as representatives of their tribes to secure more sturdy blade scallions.

“Humph! We can’t give even one to the Tiger Tribe!” Teseus, the representative of the Tiger Tribe, growled.

“Humph! Victory is ours!” Maroon, the representative of the Lion Tribe, retorted.

Today, as always, Teseus and Maroon growled at each other.

“Nya? What is it? That stupid way of talking?!” Theo wondered.

While Maroon was mocking Teseus, Theo appeared, humming a tune, opening his bundle on the roof of the shop.

“Nyanyanya,” Theo hummed.

“Hehe. There are many customers today! How exciting!” Theo smiled brightly after discovering the hunters gathered in front of the shop.

“Customers, I, Vice President Theo, have arrived!” Theo announced.

Theo jumped down from the roof and landed like a superhero, one knee on the ground. He took out 30 million sturdy blade scallions from his bundle, more than yesterday.

Currently, sturdy blade scallions were being cultivated on the 99th, 67th, and 49th floors of the Black Tower, so there was still a lot of stock.

“I will start the auction!” Theo announced.

“30 million tower coins for 100,000!” Theo shouted.

“32 million tower coins!” one hunter bid.

The first bid was about 10 million tower coins higher than yesterday.

Yesterday, the hunters didn’t collect enough money, but today, all the money from the tribe’s hunters was gathered to the representative.

“51 million tower coins!” another hunter bid.

“Sold!” Theo announced.

Sturdy blade scallions were sold for around 50 million tower coins.

“Sold out!” Theo announced.

Theo sold 30 million sturdy blade scallions and made 15 billion tower coins in sales.

However, Theo said, “Hehe. There is one more crop to sell today!”

The auction wasn’t over yet.

“There’s more to sell?” one hunter wondered.

“What is it?” another asked.

“Hehe. Leeches come after locusts! And you have to use this against leeches!” Theo took out life-filled, fragrant grapes from his bundle.

Since giant bloodsucking leeches appeared after locusts on Earth, Theo decided to sell grapes in advance.

“I will start the auction! I will sell a total of 5,000 bunches, 100 bunches each!” Theo announced.

“10,000 tower coins for 100 bunches!” one hunter bid.

“12,000 tower coins for 100 bunches!” another bid.

Hunters called out prices along with Theo’s shout. But the prices were ridiculously low.

The hunters were trying to buy the grapes, drawn to the smell of the grapes rather than their value as a crop that could kill leeches that hadn’t even appeared yet.

At that time, Teseus, who trusted Theo completely, began to raise the price.

“10 million tower coins for 100 bunches!” Teseus bid.

“I can’t lose to the Tiger Tribe! 15 million tower coins!” Maroon raised the price again to avoid losing to Teseus.

“33 million tower coins!”

“Sold!”

“30 million tower coins!”

“Sold!”

In the end, the life-filled, fragrant grapes were swept away by the Tiger and Lion tribes.

As the auction ended, Theo said, “Hehe. I’ve collected some money today!”

*If I collect a little more, I think I can give it to Chairman Park!* Theo thought.

While Theo was happily putting money in his bundle, hundreds of green trolls were seen approaching from afar, with vibrations shaking the ground.

And the monster at the very front shouted loudly, “Who dares to touch the Undying Clan?!”

[Undying Clan Mid-Boss Manta]

“Hehe. Slaves!” Theo smiled and approached the trolls.

He knocked the trolls unconscious by hitting the back of their heads and simultaneously stamped the contract, increasing Kurta’s successors.

While Theo was excitedly making slaves, five giant bloodsucking leeches were approaching the Lion Tribe’s territory outside the Green Tower.

Theo accidentally made something like a prophecy.

The customers’ trust in Theo began to rise rapidly.
