Farming In The Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 447

Seed Shop Headquarters.

“Farming King, hurry along. Park Se-jun is waiting for my divine power.”

Hehe. That way, I can get the achievement stone quickly too.

Rea tapped her foot impatiently, urging the Farming King to hurry. She didn’t know that on the 99th floor of the tower, a small, furry Podori creature nursed a secret anger towards him.

From inside, the Farming King’s voice grumbled, sounding very annoyed, “-Honestly, Goddess, I’m doing my best here! Stop rushing me!”

“Ahem. Is that so? Then take your time.”

Feeling a twinge of guilt, Rea quickly tried to appease the Farming King.

Hmph! I’ll have to tell Park Se-jun later that the Farming King was being slow and making the divine power late.

In her mind, she was already planning to tattle to Se-jun. Thus, Rea only managed to upset the Farming King by urging him on.

“I need to go pay back the money.”

She went to see Her again.

“Shark! I told you to run away if you see a yellow cat!”

Her screamed again today.

“Why is she like that these days?”

Was it a mistake to invest in Park Se-jun? Her seemed to be getting sadder and sadder since investing in Se-jun. Was it because of Theo?

As Rea worried about Her,

[Theo Park, the Merchant of the Black Tower, has discovered that the Merchant Item [Slave Seal of the Green Tower], which belongs to Shark, the Merchant of the Green Tower, has been corrupted by the aura of destruction.]

A message appeared before Her.

“What?! Shark’s Merchant Item has been corrupted by the aura of destruction?!”

Merchant Items were items that belonged to the Merchant. Does that mean Shark betrayed us?!

Her was greatly surprised by the message.

“To think a traitor would emerge among the Merchants, siding with destruction… He only corrupted the Merchant Item to avoid my gaze.”

This was a very serious situation. Shark might not be the only Merchant who had betrayed them. What if they found out too late, and the Merchants who sided with destruction threatened to remove her from her job and became the God of Merchants?

The Seed Shop Headquarters and the Combat Shop Headquarters would all be tainted by the power of destruction.

However,

“Hehe. Shark, you’ve messed with the wrong person today.”

Theo would enslave Shark right away, wouldn’t he? Today, for once, she thought it was fortunate that Shark had met Theo.

And

[Theo Park, the Merchant of the Black Tower, enslaves Shark, the Merchant of the Green Tower.]

As Her expected, Theo enslaved Shark.

“Phew. That’s a relief.”

Her neatly dealt with the traitor thanks to Theo.

“Thank you, Theo Park, for enslaving Shark.”

As Her sighed in relief and thanked Theo,

[Theo Park, the Merchant of the Black Tower, demands that if you are thankful, show it with rewards, not just words.]

Theo boldly demanded a reward.

“Alright. As expected of a Merchant, your calculations are precise. Very well. I’ll give you this.”

Normally, Her would only offer a reward after being threatened, but today, her gratitude was so great that she readily smiled and rewarded him.

As Her sent the reward to Theo,

“Her, I’m here.”

Rea, who had been watching from outside, entered the building when Her’s condition improved.

“Rea? Welcome. Do you want to borrow divine power?”

“No. I’ve come to repay the divine power today!” Rea’s face lit up. ‘Alright!’ she said, her voice full of happiness. ‘I’ll repay you again soon!'”

“Really?! Are you earning a lot these days? Now that I think about it, I’ve been accumulating quite a bit of divine power thanks to Park Se-jun too.”

“See? Wasn’t it a good idea to invest in Park Se-jun as I said?”

“Yeah! I guess it was a good thing I listened to you.”

She had regretted it a little at first because of Theo, but thanks to Theo, she caught the traitor, and it all worked out in the end.

“Here’s 10 divine power.”

“Okay. You only need to repay 91,281 more divine power.”

There was still an enormous amount of divine power left to repay, but

“Alright! I’ll repay you again soon!”

Rea answered energetically.

Until recently, she had struggled to even pay the 0.001% interest. Rea was overjoyed that she could now repay the principal.

“Then, I’ll be going.”

“Okay. Goodbye.”

Not long after Rea left the building,

Knock. Knock.

“Her, hello.”

“Pearl, welcome. Have you come to repay divine power too?”

“Yes! Here’s 0.2 divine power!”

Pearl, the God of Pearl, also came to repay divine power.

Knock. Knock.

After that, the non-combat Gods visited Her to repay divine power, and thanks to them, Her spent a busy time for the first time in a while.

“Good.”

She had not yet received even 1% of the divine power she had lent to the non-combat Gods, but Her smiled contentedly.

She felt relieved that the non-combat Gods, who had been struggling due to the lack of divine power, seemed to have some breathing room.

“Park Se-jun is really amazing. No! It’s all because Theo Park, the Merchant, helped!”

Birds of a feather flock together, Her defended Theo, the Merchant.

At that moment,

[Theo Park, the Merchant of the Black Tower, is attempting to claim the Merchant Item [Slave Seal of the Five Towers] of Shark, the Merchant of the Green Tower.]

[Would you allow it?]

93rd floor of the Green Tower.

“Slave Seal of the Green Tower?”

Se-jun examined the seal that Theo had handed him.

[Slave Seal of the Green Tower] This seal was created during the Merchant promotion test of the Green Tower. The Lawbook of Babel, the Shackles of Bondage, the Roots of a 1000-Year-Old Tree, High-Grade Magic Stones, and 1000 Slave Contracts were used as materials. The slave contract has been strengthened by using the Lawbook of Babel, the Shackles of Bondage, and the Roots of a 1000-Year-Old Tree as materials. If you stamp this seal on the body of someone belonging to the Green Tower who has been corrupted by the power of destruction, you will forcibly burden them with a debt of 100 billion Tower Coins, and if they cannot repay it, they will become a slave forever. (Can only be used once on the same target.) Belongs to the Merchant Shark. Usage Restriction: Merchant, Magic Power 5000 or higher, those belonging to Destruction Creator: God of Merchants, Her Rank: ★

While Se-jun was examining the item,

“You bastards! Give me back my item!”

Shark, who had been robbed of his Merchant Item, rushed at Se-jun, but

Squawk! Squawk!

[Daddy is concentrating now! Don’t disturb him!]

Thud!

Bzzzt!

“Kraaah!”

He fainted after being struck by Kkuengi’s lightning rod.

A moment later,

“Wow. This guy is really bad.”

Se-jun opened his mouth after checking Shark’s Merchant Item.

Just stamping the seal on someone’s body without a contract would burden them with a debt of 100 billion Tower Coins, and if they didn’t have the money, they would become a slave forever…

“Even we release them if they repay the money, but forever…”

Se-jun, who was in the same industry, was even taken aback by the viciousness.

“Vice President Theo, this is an item corrupted by the power of destruction.”

“Nya?!” Then that guy is a bad guy, nya?!”

Theo grinned and pointed at the unconscious Shark.

“Yeah.”

“Hehe. Then can I make him a slave, nya?!”

“Hehe. That’s right.”

The reason Se-jun and Theo had come directly to the 93rd floor of the Green Tower was to create many slaves. But fortunately, they immediately met the owner of the slaves. If they could enslave the owner of a large number of slaves, they could have a large number of slaves without much effort.

“Go! Vice President Theo!”

“Hehe. I understand, nya!”

Theo, who answered energetically to Se-jun’s shout, took off his hood to receive the seal of the unconscious Shark.

And

Stomp.

He received the handprint of Shark, who had the head of a shark and the body of a human.

[Hunted 1 slave.]

[Confirmed 51,231 slaves owned by the slave.]

[Due to the effect of >Title: Slave Hunter>, all stats increase by 10,000, which is the maximum.]

Thanks to this, Theo’s stats increased tremendously.

“Nyaa… President Park, I hunted over 50,000 slaves, but all my stats only increased by 10,000, nya…”

Theo was depressed.

Over 50,000 slaves?! Then I…

“Hehe.”

Se-jun was looking forward to the message that would appear in front of him.

But

[Owns 1 slave.]

[Due to the effect of >Title: Slave King>, all stats increase by 0.01.]

“Huh?!”

Unlike Theo, Se-jun’s stats only increased based on the slaves Theo caught.

System bastard!

Se-jun was furious at the system that was biased against him today.

As Se-jun was raging,

[You can purify and strengthen the [Slave Seal of the Green Tower], which has been corrupted by the power of destruction, by using the power of Fenrir you possess.]

[Would you like to use the power of Fenrir?]

Another message appeared in front of Se-jun.

“Fenrir’s power purifies the power of destruction?”

Fenrir is the Apostle of Destruction, isn’t he? It didn’t make sense that the power of the Apostle of Destruction would purify the power of destruction. Even Se-jun thought this strange power didn’t make sense.

“But the system doesn’t lie…”

Even if I’m biased, I don’t lie.

“I’ll use it.”

[Purifies and strengthens the [Slave Seal of the Green Tower], which has been corrupted by the power of destruction, using 0.005% of Fenrir’s power.]

With Se-jun’s words, a navy aura flowed from Se-jun’s body into the seal.

And

[Slave Seal of the Five Towers] It has been upgraded to a seal that can enslave the residents of not only the Green Tower but also the Black Tower, White Tower, Golden Tower, and Brown Tower. Instead, as the power of destruction was purified, the debt incurred by stamping the seal was reduced to 50 billion Tower Coins, And the option changed so that they could be freed from slavery if they repaid the debt.

Se-jun strengthened the Merchant Item in that way.

“Vice President Theo, use this.”

Imagining Theo creating slaves with this seal, his heart swelled, and he forgot that it was a bound item.

“Hehe. Thank you, nya! President Park, you should use this, nya!”

Theo received the seal and gave Se-jun a bead he had received as a reward from Her.

“Heart of Valor?”

I’ll check it later and go back for now.

With the work done, Se-jun hurriedly tried to return to where the other members were. He had a bad feeling.

“Kkuengi, let’s go back.”

Squawk!

[Okay!]

As Se-jun and Theo were riding Kkuengi back to the group,

[The God of Merchants, Her, does not allow the use of other Merchants’ bound items.]

Her’s message appeared in front of Theo, who was clinging to Se-jun’s knee.

“Nya?!”

President Park gave it to me, nya! I’m going to use it, nya!

[The God of Merchants, Her, is concerned that if Merchant Items are concentrated on one side, it will cause problems with the economic balance of the Nine Towers….]

Her tried to persuade him by explaining the economic logic, but

‘Haa! Her, if you refuse, it’s impeachment, nya!’

[The impeachment vote for Theo Park, the Merchant of the Black Tower, by the God of Merchants, Her, will begin.]

…

Theo, you rascal!

[The God of Merchants, Her, allows the [Slave Seal of the Five Towers] to be bound to Theo Park, the Merchant of the Black Tower.]

She had no choice but to allow it immediately due to Theo’s impeachment threat. But even as she agreed, a small worry still lingered in her heart.

At the moment when the slave hunter Theo gained a great wing called the Slave Seal of the Five Towers,

Kee hee hee. Squeak!

[Hehe. We won!]

“Great Blackie, congratulations!”

Kiki!

Blackie and his subordinates, who had only been chasing behind, celebrated their victory by occupying the enemy’s base thanks to the efforts of Black Rabbit and Batbat.

And

[Abyss of Destruction]

In the meantime, Black Rabbit and Batbat were able to find the place where the fifth disaster, the Great Slug, was coming out of the enemy’s base. A red hole with a diameter of 100m and a bottom that could not be seen like a bottomless pit. Just looking at it made them shudder and gave them goosebumps. The Abyss of Destruction smelled bad, and there was smoke coming from it.

Squeak?

[What is this?]

(Batbat. It’s ominous.)

When Black Rabbit and Batbat hesitated and could not approach the Abyss of Destruction,

Huff. Huff.

The Devourers of Destruction approached the Abyss of Destruction and diligently absorbed the aura of destruction,

Burp.

They emitted the aura of creation, gradually making the Abyss of Destruction smaller.

Thanks to this, when all the members were relieved,

-Who dares to interfere with my work?

An eerie voice that froze everyone was heard from beyond the Abyss of Destruction.

Then, the red hole seemed to shake.

And

Thud. Thud.

A leg, thick and hairy, appeared from the darkness. Then another, and another. Slowly, a giant spider, bigger than a house, crawled out of the Abyss of Destruction as comfortably as walking on flat ground. Its eyes glowed red, and a voice, cold as ice, echoed, ‘-Who dares to interfere with my work?’ Alice, the Enchanting Spider, had arrived.
