Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 416

Inside Sejun’s mind, it felt like a strange, echoing cave.

“Hey! You! Stop copying me!” one Sejun shouted, pointing a finger. “Change back right now!”

“Me? You change back!” the other Sejun yelled back, just as angry.

Two Sejuns stood face to face, arguing fiercely. Each one looked exactly like the real Sejun, and each claimed to be him. The Copy, being a Mimic, had done his job perfectly.

But which one was *Sejun*?

Ggami, a wolf so huge he seemed to fill the entire mind-cave, watched them. His brow furrowed. Which Sejun should he attack? He couldn’t see both Sejuns clearly at once because he was so big in this mental space, and neither Sejun noticed him at all.

*This is my chance,* Ggami thought, his heart pounding. *I have to be careful. If I hit the wrong one… if I hurt the real Sejun… he could die.*

*Which one is *our* Sejun?* Ggami wondered, his loyal heart aching with worry.

Just as Ggami was thinking hard,

Thwack! Thwack!

The two Sejuns, who had been arguing, started fighting each other.

No.

“Aargh!”

One Sejun was getting beaten badly.

With low stats, few combat skills, and little fighting experience, he was losing the fight.

That’s right. The one getting beaten badly was the real Sejun.

‘What’s with this guy? He tells me to pass the test, then suddenly turns into me and starts hitting me?!’

And if you’re going to look like me, you should have the same strength and skills as me!

Just as Sejun was feeling angry,

‘Found him!’

Ggami had found the real Sejun.

The kid who can’t fight is Sejun!

Ggami was sure.

Thump!

Ggami carefully moved his front paw and stepped on the fake Sejun.

“Foul…”

The fake Sejun, crushed by Ggami’s paw, could only say one word before turning into smoke and going into Sejun.

“You’re the one who’s more foul…”

Sejun replied and then passed out.

“Ugh.”

[You have learned the Skill Stealing Stone.]

[You can now use the Skill Stealing Stone better.]

[Your mental strength increases by 50.]

As Sejun opened his eyes and read the messages,

“Chairman Park, you’re awake, nya?”

Kkueng?!

[Daddy, are you okay?!]

Theo and Kkuengi, who had been massaging Sejun’s face and body while he was unconscious, asked with happy voices.

“Yeah. I’m fine…”

As Sejun answered and tried to get up,

“Chairman Park, stay down, nya!”

Kkueng! Kkueng!

[That’s right! Daddy, rest more!]

Theo and Kkuengi pushed Sejun back down. They thought he was tired and needed to rest.

So they were making him rest.

I’m okay…

Sejun wanted to get up, but…

With the two of them pushing down, he couldn’t get up.

Kkirorong.

So, Sejun had to rest, listening to Ggami’s snores.

Is this how you use it?

He looked at the Skill Stealing Stone and brought it to Theo’s body.

Then,

[Do you want to steal the target’s skill?]

A message appeared.

“Yes.”

As Sejun answered,

[Steals one of the target’s skills at random.]

The Skill Stealing Stone stole one of Theo’s skills. Because Theo liked Sejun, no permission was needed.

[Skill: Nyanbo (Master) has been stolen.]

“Nyanbo?”

When Sejun looked at the Skill Stealing Stone,

[Skill Stealing Stone]

Currently stolen skill (1/2): Skill: Nyanbo (Master)

The skill he had just stolen was there.

And next to it was ‘(1/2)’.

Before, only one skill could be stolen, but…

Heh heh heh. Thanks to the Mimic Copy’s thoughts.

Now he could use the Skill Stealing Stone better, he could steal up to two skills.

As Sejun looked at the stolen skill Nyanbo, the skill description appeared.

[Skill: Nyanbo (Master)]

This skill was made by Theo Park, the fatal dragon claw golden cat merchant, for moving fast.

Chairman Park, I like it so much, nya!

This skill lets you move very fast by using magic. Your speed is 5 times your Agility for 100 seconds.

Chairman Park, I respect you, nya!

When moving on four paws, you can move super fast. Your speed is 10 times your Agility.

Chairman Park, you’re the best, nya!

“Wow.”

Sejun was amazed after reading the skill description.

Amazing. To move at 5 times the agility stat for 100 seconds…

You can move 10 times faster when walking on four paws, but he didn’t want to move that fast.

But it’s a creative skill…

Things like Theo Park’s title, the fatal dragon claw golden cat merchant, which the Black Tower’s system doesn’t know,

Chairman Park, I like it so much, nya!, Chairman Park, I respect you, nya!,

Theo’s thoughts, like Chairman Park, you’re the best, nya!, were in the skill description.

So, there are a lot of extra words.

Heh heh heh. Theo even mentions me in the skill.

Of course, Sejun was very happy.

While Sejun was reading the skill description,

“Chairman Park, aren’t you hot, nya?”

Theo was fanning Sejun with his front paw,

Kkueng?

[Daddy, aren’t you thirsty?]

Kkuengi handed him a cup of water, taking care of Sejun.

A little later,

“Let’s pack up and go home.”

As Sejun got up,

“Chairman Park, there’s one more thing I see, nya!”

Theo led Sejun to another pile of jewels.

And,

“This is it, nya!”

Theo put his front paw into the pile of jewels and pulled.

Thud.

With a heavy sound, a golden cart hidden in the pile of jewels slowly moved and showed itself.

Why is a cart here…?

[Wandering Automatic Cart of the Black Tower and Golden Tower]

Even though it had a grand name, the cart was simple. It was a square box on four wheels.

“What is it?”

Wandering the Black Tower and the Golden Tower? Automatic cart? Does it move by itself?

Sejun quickly touched the cart and checked its info.

[Wandering Automatic Cart of the Black Tower and Golden Tower]

This cart was made for the Merchant’s test in the Black Tower.

It is made of special wood, bone powder, magic stones, and lightning stones, so it is very strong against lightning.

If you put items to sell in the cart and set the price, the cart will travel the Black Tower and the Golden Tower for 30 days to sell them. (The cart goes to a different floor every 10 days.)

If all the items are sold, it comes back right away. But the cart can only travel again 30 days after it first left. (If you pay 1 million coins per day, you can send the cart again right away.)

If you set items you want to buy, the cart will buy up to 5 types of items. (If you don’t set all 5, the cart will buy items for the empty slots.)

Bound to Merchant Theo Park.

Must be a Merchant with 10,000 or more magic power to use.

Creator: ???? God ??

Grade: ★

“Ah. This…”

A cart made for the Merchant test. This must be Yuren’s… It seems like it became Theo’s when Theo grabbed it.

“Oh?! That’s my cart!”

Sejun thought so, and Yuren shouted, looking at the cart.

“Yuren, I’m sorry.”

Sejun grabbed Yuren’s shoulder and said he was sorry.

“Yes? Why?”

“Well… the cart is Theo’s now.”

“Nya?”

Theo was confused by Sejun’s words. He didn’t know the cart was his.

“It’s okay. I was going to give it to Theo anyway.”

“Really?”

“I’ll use it well, nya!”

Thanks to that, Sejun and Theo smiled.

When Yuren saw the automatic cart, he thought it would be better for Theo to use it.

Because he was unlucky. If he used it, the cart might go somewhere strange.

The world might be destroyed…

Yuren had used the cart once when he became a Merchant.

He sent it empty to make it come back fast, but in less than 10 minutes, the cart returned with dead monsters stuck to it.

They had died while traveling through dimensions.

Yuren was sure. That wasn’t a creature from this world. The cart went to a strange and dangerous place and returned.

After that, Yuren didn’t know how to use the cart. But when the Faceless Thief Rune stole it, he was relieved.

He was sad that they took his other things too.

“Yuren, thank you. I’ll make you lots of good food.”

“Thank you.”

Yuren smiled at Sejun’s words.

After Yuren gave them the cart,

“Vice Chairman Theo, let’s send the cart out.”

“I understand, nya!”

Theo started putting items to sell in the cart. Cherry tomatoes, sweet potatoes, green onions, carrots, potatoes, and set the prices.

“For items to buy, just set the land for the 35th floor of the Golden Tower for now.”

“I understand, nya!”

At Sejun’s words, Theo set the items to buy in the cart.

“Then go and make lots of money, nya!”

Theo gently pushed the cart.

Whoosh.

A black hole appeared in front of the cart, and the cart moved into the hole.

After sending the cart,

“So, this is the Faceless Thief Rune’s hideout.”

It was clear, seeing Yuren’s cart. No wonder there were so many treasures.

The group filled their pockets with jewels for hours.

Everyone’s pockets were so full they couldn’t hold any more.

“Kkuenga, let’s go catch the thief now!”

Kkueng! Kkueng!

[Okay! Trust Kkuengi!]

Finally, it was his time to shine, and Kkuengi sniffed and chased after the Faceless Thief Rune.

While moving, they found stairs. When they went up, a huge laboratory appeared.

The laboratory walls were overflowing with books, their spines cracked and dusty. Glass bottles filled with colorful liquids lined shelves, glowing faintly in the dim light. A huge amount of documents were piled up on the desks and floors.

Then,

Kkueng?

Kkuengi tilted his head.

“Kkuenga, what’s wrong?”

Kkueng! Kkueng!

[The scent stops here!]

“Don’t you smell anything else?”

Kkueng! Kkueng!

[I do! But there are too many scents!]

Kkuengi shook his head.

“Park…”

Sejun quickly covered Theo’s mouth. He didn’t want Theo to shine again and make Kkuengi sad.

“If you stay still, I’ll let you have exclusive knee rights for a week. Nod if you like it.”

Theo nodded quickly at Sejun’s words.

Good. End of talk.

Sejun removed his hand from Theo’s mouth.

And…

Hmm…

He thought hard.

How can I catch the thief? No. Can I call the owner?

Sejun thought for a moment.

“Ah! Kkuenga, use Kkueng Fu gently!”

Kkueng! Kkuengeeng!

[Okay! Kkueng Fu!]

At Sejun’s words, Kkuengi used Kkueng Fu with only 10% power.

Clang.

Clang.

The reagents were shattered by Kkueng Fu. The reagents on one side of the wall were all broken.

Heh heh heh. You’re not coming out even though I’m making such a mess?

Sejun’s plan was to make a mess.

This place has been used for important research for a long time. The owner has to appear.

But it seemed weak, and he didn’t want to appear.

If so…

“Kkuenga, should we do some crackling after a long time?”

Kkueng!

[Okay!]

Shushushushuk.

At Sejun’s words, Kkuengi began to rub his two front paws together.

Then,

Bzzzt! Bzzzt!

A bright white spark was created.

If I put this on the documents, they’ll all burn. What are you going to do?

Sejun was sending a signal to the owner of the lab.

Then,

“St… Stop! That’s really not okay! Please!”

The Faceless Thief Rune appeared from a hidden place in the ceiling of the lab.
