Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 426

Seed Shop Headquarters.

“World Tree, could you deliver this to Park Se-jun?”

Uncle, the god of grapevines, initially thought he could easily send his divine power.

The World Tree was made from a grapevine and had a strong aura.

However…

“Who do you think you are?!”

The World Tree immediately spoke rudely.

Just send it!

He wanted to shout, but the World Tree was almost as powerful as a demigod. In his current weakened state, he couldn’t treat it carelessly.

Ahem. It seems you don’t know who I am.

“World Tree, I am Uncle, the god of grapevines.”

But when he revealed his identity…

“Oh! Uncle, you’re just the one I wanted to see! So, just because you’re a god, does that mean you’re all that?! When I prayed for seeds to grow on my seedless grapes, you didn’t show up, but now you appear when you need something?! How can a god be so shameless?! Huh?!”

It had the opposite effect.

“That’s…”

You should argue with the god of abundance, Leah. Her followers are the ones who did that.

“World Tree, there seems to be a misunderstanding. At that time, I was recovering my strength and couldn’t hear your voice. Besides, the one who made you barren was…”

To save himself, Uncle told Podori that the mastermind was the god of abundance, Leah.

Thus, the truth that Se-jun hadn’t revealed for the sake of everyone’s peace reached Podori’s ears.

“The god of abundance, Leah’s follower, made me barren?!”

Podori fought back against Leah in the best way he could, by blocking the road.

Kke-ek?

[Everyone, I’m sorry, but please don’t use this road for a while.]

Kke-ek!

Podori blocked the path with his branches, preventing the mushroom ants from passing through Leah Road.

And…

“Give it to me. I’ll deliver it to Se-jun.”

Grumbling, he accepted the divine power Uncle sent and delivered it to Se-jun.

[You have harvested the Sealed Grapevine Bracelet.]

[Your job experience has slightly increased.]

[Harvesting Lv. 8 proficiency has slightly increased.]

[Harvesting Lv. 8 proficiency has been filled, and the level has increased.]

[You have gained 100,000 experience.]

“Oh. Finally leveled up.”

The Harvesting skill, which hadn’t leveled up for a long time, finally reached level 9.

[You have achieved the feat of harvesting divine power.]

[As a feat reward, the expiration date of divine power is doubled.]

“This also has an expiration date.”

Se-jun, after checking the achievement message, examined the bracelet in his hand.

[Sealed Grapevine Bracelet]

This is a divine artifact sent by Uncle, the god of grapevines, who governs grapevines.

It is a bracelet made by weaving multiple layers of grapevines. When a target is set, the grapevines grow and are worn by the target.

Uncle used this bracelet to seal the enemy’s power and engage in battle.

Seals up to 99% of the bracelet wearer’s power (can seal up to a total of 15,000 stats).

Expiration date: 200 days

Usage restriction: All stats 500 or higher

Creator: Uncle, the god of grapevines

Grade: S+

“Good.”

With this, I don’t have to move so obviously.

Se-jun, after checking the options of the Sealed Grapevine Bracelet, wore a satisfied expression.

Actually, Se-jun had a concern.

What about the other hunters when I use the land document to go down to the first floor of the Black Tower?

If Se-jun goes down, the hunters who can’t withstand Se-jun’s aura will be in danger.

The outside of the tower is a safe zone, so it’s okay, but the first floor of the tower is not a safe zone.

So, he was considering whether to have his subordinates temporarily evacuate the first floor of the tower, but with this bracelet, there was no need to move so noisily.

He could put the other guys in the subspace warehouse and go down to the first floor of the tower with only Se-jun’s power sealed.

And…

Heh heh heh. I can become a hidden powerhouse.

“I’ll pretend to be weak and then release the seal to give them a good lesson.”

Kuh. Just thinking about it makes my heart swell.

While Se-jun was holding the bracelet and grinning, lost in all sorts of imaginations…

“Puhuhu. Sold out, nya!”

Theo, who went to work on the first floor of the Green Tower, sold out all the items he brought.

Theo sold fragrant grapes full of life and pineapples that let out a stifled scream instead of the unpopular sturdy blade leeks.

After demonstrating the power of the pineapple bomb, he was able to increase sales tenfold as planned.

“Puhuhu. I am indeed Theo Park, the most excellent merchant after Chairman Park, nya!”

While Theo was eating the grilled fish bento that Se-jun packed for him on the roof of the shop with a proud expression…

Gooooo.

Suddenly, a huge aura was felt in the sky.

“Nya?!”

This is Ophelia’s aura, nya!

Theo hurriedly used Aura Absorption to absorb Ophelia’s aura so that other customers wouldn’t be harmed.

And…

Plop.

“Theo, I want to eat that too.”

Ophelia, who was able to move freely on the first floor of the tower thanks to him, sat next to Theo and demanded the grilled fish that Theo hadn’t touched yet.

However…

“No, nya! This is a grilled fish that Chairman Park painstakingly grilled for me alone, nya!”

Theo refused. The opponent was the great Green Dragon, but he didn’t hesitate for a moment.

“What?!”

Ophelia’s face hardened at Theo’s refusal.

Dare you refuse the request of me, the great Green Dragon Ophelia Iolgue?!

“Then, not even one bite?”

“No, nya!”

“Eek!”

Ophelia was on the verge of exploding.

“Eat this instead, nya!”

Chuck.

Theo handed over a sausage skewer that was next to the grilled fish.

A sausage skewer made by skewering several sausages on a skewer and then grilling them.

Kkuengi accidentally put one of the things that should have been in the lunchbox into Theo’s lunchbox.

“What is this?”

Ophelia asked, receiving the skewer with a sulky expression.

“It’s a sausage skewer, nya! And it’s also grilled with care by Chairman Park, nya! Puhuhu. Of course, it’s not as good as my grilled fish, nya!”

Theo said something annoying.

However…

What is this salty and delicious smell?!

Ophelia didn’t listen to Theo’s words because she was focused on the sausage skewer in her hand.

Puhuhu. I won’t be bothered anymore, nya!

Theo watched Ophelia focus on the sausage and began to eat the grilled fish diligently.

And…

Nom.

Ophelia also put one of the sausages skewered at the very end of the sausage skewer into her mouth and chewed.

Pop.

The chewy texture of the sausage, along with the salty taste and the oil with a savory meat flavor, blended together in her mouth.

Delicious!!!

Ophelia was amazed by the taste of the sausage, which she was eating for the first time in her 800 years of dragon life, and ate the entire skewer in an instant.

“Theo, give me one more sausage skewer!”

Ophelia reached out her hand to Theo again.

“There’s none, nya! That was all, nya!”

The sausage skewer that accidentally came into Theo’s lunchbox was all she had just eaten.

“Theo, bring a lot of sausage skewers tomorrow. Got it?”

“Puhuhu. Got it, nya! But Ophelia-nim must also work hard, nya! Chairman Park said that slaves who don’t work hard don’t get meals, nya!”

“Okay! I got it! I’ll work hard, so be sure to bring a lot of sausages tomorrow! Got it?”

“I got it, nya!”

Ophelia decided to receive sausages from Theo like that.

“Grow! Grow!”

As soon as she arrived on the 99th floor of the tower, she diligently used her skills, scattering mugwort seeds.

West side of the 99th floor of the Black Tower.

Sniff sniff.

Kkuengi put his nose to the ground and wandered around the herb garden.

At that time…

Kkuhehehehe. Kkuengi!

[Hehehe. Found it!]

Plunge.

Kkuengi put his front paws deep into the ground and dug out a red kudzu root.

Kkuengi!

[This is for Kkuengi’s grandma!]

Kkuengi carefully put the kudzu root he had just dug up into his snack pouch. Kkuengi was digging up herbs to give as gifts to Se-jun’s mother, Kim Mi-ran.

Plunge.

Kkuengi was diligently digging up kudzu roots like that.

After a while…

Kkuengi!

[Dad, Kkuengi’s home!]

Kkuengi, who had dug up a lot of herbs, returned home.

“Kkuengi’s home?”

“Kkuengi’s home, nya?”

Se-jun and Theo, who had left work early and were clinging to Se-jun’s lap, greeted Kkuengi.

At that time…

Kkuengi! Kkuengi!

[Dad, look at this! This is a gift for Kkuengi’s grandma!]

Kkuengi, who arrived in front of Se-jun, opened his snack pouch and showed off the herbs he had dug up.

[Warm Kudzu Root]

[Blood Circulation Kudzu Root]

[Strong Kudzu Root]

They had the effect of slightly raising the body temperature, improving blood circulation, or slightly strengthening the body, and all grades were low, such as E or D.

However, this level was just right for ordinary people who were not hunters to eat.

“Oh, my. Oh, my. Our Kkuengi is so kind. Did you dig them up to give to Grandma?”

Kkuengi!

[That’s right!]

When Se-jun patted Kkuengi’s bottom and praised him…

‘Nya?! This is a disaster, nya! I haven’t prepared a gift for Chairman Park to give to Chairman Park!’

Theo suddenly became anxious when he saw Kkuengi’s gift.

“Chairman Park, I’m going to get a gift too, nya!”

Theo hurriedly used Nyambo to go down the tower.

Black Tower Management Area.

“Mother, please take good care of me!”

Eileen, who decided to learn cooking from Kim Mi-ran starting today.

“Okay. Let’s work hard.”

“Yes! Mother! Ah, Mother, Se-jun is leaving the tower the day after tomorrow.”

“Really?! Then is he coming home?!”

“Yes!”

“Then I should make some of Se-jun’s favorite food tomorrow!”

“Mother, I want to learn how to make Se-jun’s favorite food too!”

“Okay. Then I’ll teach you Se-jun’s favorite foods tomorrow.”

“Yes! Thank you!”

The atmosphere between the two was very good. Until they started cooking.

“Eileen, I think the fire is too strong? You need to turn it down a bit. Boil it only to the point where it feels slightly hot.”

Kim Mi-ran said, looking at the powerful fire reflected in the mirror that seemed to melt even iron.

“Yes! Slightly hot, right?”

Eileen made the fire even stronger at Kim Mi-ran’s words. It was still a long way from feeling slightly hot to Eileen.

“No. Eileen, I’m telling you to turn down the fire. The soy sauce is all burnt.”

“Yes… I’m sorry.”

“No. There’s no need to be sorry, let’s try again.”

“Yes!”

Eileen only practiced controlling the fire for the 3 hours allowed by the Mirror of Yearning, and then the cooking lesson ended.

I’m in a hurry, nya!

Theo was hurrying down the tower to find a gift.

At that time…

Bbyot!

[Theo-nim!]

“Theo-nim, where are you going?”

“Puhuhu. Yuren, lead the way, nya!”

“Yes? Where to?”

“I don’t know, nya! Go wherever Yuren wants to go, nya!”

“Where I want to go?”

At Theo’s words, Yuren turned to where he wanted to go…

“Stop!”

A robber appeared in 10 minutes. Yuren’s misfortune was truly amazing.

“Puhuhu. Take a picture, nya!”

Theo subdued the robbers in an instant…

Stamp. Stamp.

Bbyot followed behind and received the robbers’ stamps on the slave contract.

He walked around the tower late into the night with Yuren leading the way, but…

“Nya… It’s a failure, nya! When I think of Chairman Park for Chairman Park, my front paws don’t move, nya!”

The golden front paws, which only activated for Se-jun, did not work.

“Let’s just go home, nya…”

Theo, with a disappointed expression, returned to the 99th floor of the tower.

But Theo didn’t know that he had already given a huge gift to Se-jun’s family.

Theo’s contribution was significant in preventing the Earth from being consumed by destruction and allowing Se-jun to leave the tower.

Cough.

Kkirorong.

“Nya…”

Theo went into the bedroom where Se-jun and Blackie were sleeping…

Grorong.

When he took a seat on Se-jun’s lap and fell into a deep sleep…

(Bat Bat! I need to find a gift! Bat Bat!)

This time, Bat Bat hurriedly moved to find a gift for Se-jun’s family.
