Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 419

Theo had been working hard selling strong leeks to the hunters in Neta on the first floor of the Green Tower, but Sejun didn’t expect the effects to appear so quickly.

“Hehe. Good job, Vice Chairman Theo.”

Sejun thought about praising him and making him a giant grilled fish when he finished work.

“No, let’s not praise him too much.”

Imagining Theo’s smug face after being praised made Sejun feel a little annoyed.

But what about the reward for his achievement?

As Sejun wondered about the reward,

[Because you achieved a great success in the Green Tower, the Green Tower’s Top Farmer, Ophelia Iolgue, will share the reward 50/50.]

[Ophelia Iolgue is under your command.]

[You will additionally receive 50% of Ophelia Iolgue’s reward.]

A reward message popped up.

Because he had done something amazing in the Green Tower, the reward was going to be split 50/50. But since Ophelia was under Sejun’s command, he got an extra 25%.

So, Sejun received 75% of the reward, and Ophelia got the other 25%.

[As a reward for your great achievement, the crops grown by Black Tower Top Farmer Park Sejun can now absorb a small amount of the power of destruction and turn it into nutrients.]

That was the reward he received.

“What is this…?”

Almost nothing had changed.

It had only changed from ‘very small’ to ‘small’.

Well, at least the locusts were gone.

Sejun tried to hide his disappointment.

But unlike Sejun’s disappointment, the change from ‘very small’ to ‘small’ was actually a big deal.

The crops growing in the field with Fenrir’s core fragment could absorb more nutrients, and

[Ah! I can absorb more! I’m overflowing with power!]

Most importantly, Blinky was absorbing the red mist in large amounts, which sped up the cleaning of the area near the 10th Tower a little more.

[Sausage, eat up.]

On top of that, Blinky was using the nutrients from the red mist to make food for Sausage, the new World Tree candidate.

[Sau! Sage!]

Sausage, who could still only say his name, shouted it and worked hard, as if trying to live up to Blinky’s expectations.

Kkueng!

[Daddy, another sausage has grown on the Sausage Tree!]

“Oh!”

Kkihihit. Kking!

[Hehe. Sausage!]

It made everyone happy.

Black Tower Management Zone.

“Kehehe. It’s done!”

Eileen smiled and opened the pot lid.

“Ack!”

She smelled it and quickly closed it.

Kehing. Failure…

Still, after many failures, she could now tell if something was edible just by smelling it.

“Alright. This time…”

As Eileen was getting ready to try a new recipe,

Oong.

The crystal ball vibrated.

“What is it?”

Kehihihi. Did our Sejun do something again?

Eileen quickly ran to the crystal ball to see what was happening.

[Black Tower Top Farmer Park Sejun has achieved the great feat of getting rid of the first disaster, the Locusts, in the area protected by the Green Tower.]

“Kkueng?”

Green Tower?

Eileen was confused, but she thought it was possible.

Because he was her Sejun!

[Because of the great achievement in the Green Tower…]

Then, a message similar to the one Sejun received appeared, and

[Reduces the time it takes for the Black Tower to grow by 750 days.]

The time was reduced by 75% because of the great achievement.

“Kking. That’s too bad.”

Why does our Sejun have to share with Ophelia?

Eileen was a little angry, but

[33 days left until the Black Tower grows.]

“Kehihihi. I can brag to Sejun in just 33 days!”

Seeing the time left until the Black Tower grew made her laugh.

At that moment,

Oong.

The crystal ball vibrated again.

[The upgrade of the Bronze Mirror of Yearning is complete.]

“Kehihihi. It’s done!”

Eileen checked the message and quickly ran to the room with the magic repair machine.

The magic repair machine could not only fix magic items but also upgrade them as the Black Tower got stronger.

So Eileen told Sejun and spent a lot of money upgrading the mirror so she could talk to Sejun’s family for longer.

And the upgrade of the Bronze Mirror of Yearning was finished in almost 100 days.

As Eileen stood in front of the machine,

[Silver Mirror of Yearning]

A silver mirror appeared.

The Bronze Mirror of Yearning had been upgraded and turned into a silver mirror.

“Alright. Changed my appearance, got dressed, and face clean.”

Eileen quickly checked herself.

And

‘Sejun, I’m sorry. I’ll use it first.’

Eileen didn’t tell Sejun that the upgrade was done, and

“Mother, I miss you!”

She put magic into the mirror, thinking of Sejun’s mother, Kim Mi-ran.

Then Kim Mi-ran appeared in the mirror.

“Mother, hello!”

“Oh, Eileen, it’s been a while!”

Kim Mi-ran had talked to Eileen like this a few times, so she greeted her calmly and asked how Sejun was doing.

As the two were talking,

“Mother, I have a favor to ask!”

Eileen brought up what she wanted to say.

“A favor? What favor?”

“Please teach me how to cook! I want to cook delicious food for Sejun!”

No matter how much she practiced on her own, her cooking skills didn’t get better, so Eileen decided to learn to cook from Kim Mi-ran, Sejun’s cooking teacher.

“Hoh ho ho. You call that a favor. You want to feed my son, of course, I can teach you.”

Kim Mi-ran, who didn’t know how bad Eileen’s cooking was, was happy and agreed to Eileen’s request.

And so, Eileen’s special cooking training began.

Green Tower Management Zone.

Kreoong.

Brachio was still snoring.

“Ehehe. I have to go ask Theo for food again today.”

Ophelia carefully held the crystal ball and quietly left the room, trying to go to the first floor of the tower without Brachio knowing.

At that moment,

[Black Tower Top Farmer Park Sejun has gotten rid of the first disaster, the Locusts, sent by the Power of Destruction to Neta.]

…

..

.

A message appeared in front of Ophelia.

“Ah. What! I was going to do it…”

Ophelia grumbled for no reason, feeling like she, the great Green Dragon, was losing to Sejun.

But

Oh. Locusts can be gotten rid of too.

She was very surprised inside. Sejun, who was weaker than her. She thought he was just showing off because he was good at farming…

Sejun, that guy, is amazing.

“I have to work harder too!”

Ophelia decided that she had to farm even harder.

And

[As a reward for your great achievement, the crops grown by Green Tower Top Farmer Ophelia Iolgue can absorb a very, very small amount of the power of destruction and turn it into nutrients.]

“Alright. I’ll use this reward to get rid of the Power of Destruction!”

There was a lot of red mist outside the tower, so if she brought it in and gave it to the crops as nutrients…

“I’m a genius after all!”

Ophelia praised herself a lot.

However, she didn’t know that all the great dragons these days were searching for red mist to earn Tower Coins.

“Then, before I work harder, should I go to the first floor of the tower and fill my belly! To the first floor of the tower…”

As Ophelia was about to go to the first floor of the tower,

Oong.

The crystal ball vibrated.

“Hmm. What is it?”

Brachio, the manager of the Green Tower, woke up from the vibration of the crystal ball, snapped her fingers, and the crystal ball flew into her hand.

“Ophelia?”

“Ehehe. Grandma, are you awake?”

Ophelia was holding the crystal ball.

“Ophelia, if you play with the crystal ball… Huh?”

Brachio, who was about to scold Ophelia, saw the message on the crystal ball.

[Black Tower Top Farmer Park Sejun has achieved the great feat of getting rid of the first disaster, the Locusts, in the area protected by the Green Tower.]

…

..

.

[One of the great achievements, one of the Green Great Tower growth conditions, has been completed.]

[One of the Green Great Tower growth conditions has been achieved.]

The rewards were shared, but the tower’s system recognized that the Green Tower had achieved one great achievement.

“How can this be!”

Achieving the Green Great Tower growth conditions?!

Brachio was shocked to see the message.

The Great Tower growth conditions of each tower were a little different, and each one was hard to complete.

Sejun was achieving those difficult things so easily?!

Indeed…

Brachio realized it again. Park Sejun was a great Top Farmer.

He must be the best of the nine towers’ Top Farmers.

“But how did Park Sejun get rid of the Locusts outside the tower?”

“Grandma. Actually, Sejun is on the first floor of the tower…”

Ophelia told Brachio that Sejun had opened a store on the first floor of the Green Tower.

“Really?”

Hoh ho ho. Our Sejun opened a store in our Green Tower?

Brachio held back her laughter and looked at the first floor of the tower with the crystal ball, and

“It’s true.”

She checked the store selling Sejun’s crops and smiled happily.

“Grandma, I sent the bosses of the 99th, 98th, and 97th floors of the tower to protect Sejun’s store.”

Ophelia quickly bragged to Brachio about what she had done.

“Good job, our granddaughter. I should send the boss of the 96th floor of the tower to the store and ask if there’s anything else they need.”

“Grandma, can’t I go and ask myself?”

“Huh? You? That’s…”

Brachio was not going to allow it. If Ophelia went down to the first floor of the tower, there would be chaos in Sejun’s store.

“Actually… I’ve been down to the first floor of the tower before. There’s someone named Theo among Sejun’s helpers, and Theo can absorb my energy so it doesn’t affect other places!”

Before Brachio could say no, Ophelia quickly explained that it was safe for her to go down to the first floor of the tower.

“Really? Then only go down when Theo is there.”

“Yes! Ehehe. Grandma, I love you!”

Ophelia hugged Brachio and acted cute, now that she was allowed to go to the first floor of the tower.

First floor of the Green Tower.

“I’m doomed, meow…”

Theo was sad, looking at the strong blade leeks that weren’t selling.

The end of the locusts was good news for everyone, but not for Theo, who had to sell leeks.

With no more locusts in Neta, the hunters didn’t need leeks, and Theo had his first unsold auction.

The strong blade leeks couldn’t be eaten, so it was natural.

Luckily, all the other crops were sold.

But he had come out to impress Chairman Park…

“I’m depressed, meow…”

Theo was so sad that he couldn’t sell the biggest strong blade leeks.

“Then see you tomorrow, meow…”

Theo, with his tail down, went home to the Black Tower.

“Vice Chairman Theo, welcome!”

Sejun, who was grilling giant fish and sausages, greeted Theo.

“Meow?!”

Theo was surprised by Sejun’s welcome.

I didn’t sell out… This is a disaster, meow!

He thought Sejun was grilling giant fish to celebrate his success.

“Huh?”

Why is he acting like this?

Sejun was also confused by Theo’s expression.

Normally, he would be confident and arrogant, clinging to his knees and asking for the giant grilled fish…

‘Did something bad happen?’

Seeing Theo without energy made him uncomfortable.

Haa. I wasn’t going to praise him… Here. Praise.

“Hehe. Thanks to our Vice Chairman Theo working hard to sell strong blade leeks in the Green Tower, the locusts are gone from Neta. Because of you, we got a great achievement, and it’s all thanks to you. You did a great job. You’re the best, Vice Chairman Theo!”

Sejun praised Theo a little too much.

Then,

“Meow?”

Theo was a little surprised.

But

“Puhuhut.”

Was that it, meow? Did I do something good again, meow?

He quickly smiled and

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I’m hungry, meow! Bring out the giant grilled fish quickly, meow!”

He made an arrogant face and started clinging to Sejun’s knees, shouting loudly.

And

Kkuhehehe. Kkueng!

[Hehehe. Bring out the sausage!]

Kkihihit. Kking!

[Hehe. Bring out the sausage!]

Kkuengi and Kkamangi shouted loudly, following Theo.

“I shouldn’t have praised him······.”

Sejun thought to himself.
