Farming In The Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 466

Seed Shop Headquarters.

A message suddenly flashed in front of Shin, bright and bold: ‘Black Tower’s Top Farmer Park Sejun has harvested the Bountiful Grape Cluster Altar!’

[If Black Tower’s Top Farmer Park Sejun completes the Harvest Festival quest within 24 hours, the Festival of Abundance will be held.]

[Time remaining until the Festival of Abundance: 23:59:59]

Shin, one of the Gods, was deeply moved as he looked at the message.

“A harvest festival dedicated to me, offering grapes! I knew it! Park Sejun!” Uncle, the God of Grape Vines, cheered, raising his hands high.

“Congratulations, Uncle,” Shin exclaimed, clapping him on the back. “See how quickly he rewards you for gifting Park Sejun a divine artifact?”

“I’m jealous. This harvest festival is going to be amazing, right?” another God added, his eyes wide with excitement.

The non-combat Gods, having seen the message, surrounded Uncle, offering congratulations and envious comments.

“Oh?! That’s right! The more crops offered to the altar, the larger the scale of the harvest festival!” Uncle realized.

Park Sejun is currently the best farmer in all nine towers, so the number of crops Sejun offers to the altar is likely to be record-breaking.

The larger the scale of the harvest festival, the more divine power is needed to host it.

Uncle then realized he didn’t have enough divine power to handle a harvest festival hosted by Sejun.

‘But if I make the harvest festival small to match my divine power…’ Uncle thought, his smile faltering. Park Sejun would be angry, wouldn’t he?

The moment he earns Sejun’s displeasure, his small temple, from which divine power steadily flowed, would disappear. No way!

“Hey everyone, I have a bit of a problem… Would you mind lending me some divine power? Of course, I’ll share the profits with all of you!” Uncle asked the non-combat Gods around him for help.

“Really?! We’d be happy to invest in Park Sejun!” one of the Gods replied instantly.

“I’ll lend you all 100 of my divine power!” another offered eagerly.

“Me too!”

“I’ll lend you mine too!”

The non-combat Gods were delighted to have the opportunity to invest in Sejun and eagerly lent Uncle their divine power because they knew there was no failure when investing in Sejun.

One hour later, the Seed Shop Headquarters was filled with the shouts of Uncle and the non-combat Gods who had lent him divine power.

“Believe in Park!”

Fortunately, no combat Gods passed by this time, so they were able to shout ‘Believe in Park’ for quite a while.

Black Tower 99th floor.

“Hmm, 100 of each crop? It would be good to offer more crops this time, right?” Sejun wondered.

Before, offering 100 of each of the 11 crops had transformed the Festival of Abundance into a Harvest Festival overflowing with abundance and magic.

“Guys, bring 100 of each crop from the storage,” Sejun instructed.

Kke-ek!

Sejun had the Mushroom Ants bring the crops.

“Alright. First, I need to check if there are 100 of both the Transcendent Black Beans and Mugwort,” Sejun said as he began taking out the Transcendent Black Beans and Mugwort, which could not be obtained through harvesting, from his inventory.

Sejun always wore Theo on his lap when taking crops out of the divine artifact, the Pouch of Abundance, given by Leia.

Unlike the description that said the number would randomly increase from 1 to 10, he almost always obtained 10 crops with a 50% certainty.

The remaining 50% resulted in 9 only once, and after that, it was always between 11 and 13.

Theo’s luck was very strong. It was even better than the artifact’s power.

“Hehe. It’s all thanks to our Vice Chairman Theo,” Sejun said.

“Puhuhu. That’s right, nya! Everything is thanks to me, nya!” Theo replied.

So, even when he acted arrogantly these days, Sejun couldn’t bring himself to hate him.

“Alright. Both have more than 100,” Sejun confirmed.

While Sejun was counting the number of Transcendent Black Beans and Mugwort, the Mushroom Ants brought the crops to Sejun.

Kke-ek!

Magic Cherry Tomatoes, Agile Six-Clove Garlic, Deep Darkness Cherries, and about 60 different crops were presented.

Once the crops were gathered, Sejun went to the altar, touched the grape vines supporting it, and a message appeared.

[Would you like to offer crops to the Bountiful Grape Cluster Altar?]

“Yes,” Sejun replied.

As Sejun agreed, the crops began to be sucked into the altar one type at a time.

[1 type of crop has been offered 100 times.]

[2 types of crops have been offered 100 times each.]

[10 types of crops have been offered 100 times each.]

[The Festival of Abundance will be held as a quest completion reward.]

[The Bountiful Grape Cluster Altar is preparing to randomly summon 1000 Fox Tribe members to enjoy the Festival of Abundance.]

[The Blessing of Abundance is bestowed upon the entire floor where the Bountiful Grape Cluster Altar is located.]

The quest completion message appeared before Sejun.

[15 types of crops have been offered 100 times each.]

[Crops without abilities cannot be offered.]

Meanwhile, the altar continued to absorb the crops.

Among them, 10 types of crops that had no effect when eaten were rejected, but there were still many crops to offer to the altar.

[20 types of crops have been offered 100 times each.]

[The Harvest Festival is enhanced into a Harvest Festival overflowing with Abundance and Magic.]

[A magic stream is connected to the floor where the Bountiful Grape Cluster Altar is located.]

[An additional blessing of one magic stream is bestowed upon the entire floor where the Bountiful Grape Cluster Altar is located.]

As 20 types of crops were offered, the harvest festival was enhanced, and a stream was connected to the 99th floor of the Black Tower, suddenly making the surrounding magic denser.

[30 types of crops have been offered 100 times each.]

[The Harvest Festival overflowing with Abundance and Magic is enhanced into a Great Harvest Festival.]

[The Blessing of Abundance is enhanced into the Great Blessing of Abundance.]

As 30 types of crops were offered to the altar, the harvest festival transformed into a Great Harvest Festival.

Since there were still many crops left, the remaining crops continued to be sucked into the altar.

[40 types of crops have been offered 100 times each.]

[One more magic stream is connected to the floor where the Bountiful Grape Cluster Altar is located.]

[The blessing of one magic stream is enhanced into the blessing of two magic streams.]

As 40 crops were offered, one more magic stream was connected to the 99th floor of the tower, making the surrounding magic so dense that it felt sticky.

It felt like magic would increase just by breathing.

As Sejun was amazed by the stronger magic, the last crop, 100 Deep Darkness Cherries, were sucked into the Bountiful Grape Cluster Altar.

[50 types of crops have been offered 100 times each.]

[The Great Harvest Festival overflowing with Abundance and Magic that everyone enjoys is enhanced.]

The altar, made of shining grapes, glowed brightly. It was time for the Great Harvest Festival! Magic filled the air as the altar called for foxes from all the Nine Towers. Everyone could feel the joy and plenty of the festival.

Magic spread from the grape altar, bringing the Blessing of Peace to the whole floor. Even in other parts of the Black Tower, wherever grapevines grew, small Harvest Festivals began.

Flash. Flash. Flash.

Along with the message, deep green, blue, and white light exploded from the grape altar, spreading throughout the floor.

Suddenly, foxes of various colors appeared beneath the altar.

White Fox: “Daylight? But… where are the ice walls?”

Brown Fox: “Daylight! I haven’t seen this much light in ages! And… why is your fur like snow?”

The foxes summoned from the Nine Towers were confused, seeing others of their kind with different fur colors.

Just then,

“Hehe! Lost, are you? Come here and get your mark! Then you’re part of our group!” Teo shouted to the foxes, holding the mark of the Fifth Tower.

However,

“No way!”

“One does not get stamped lightly!”

Though their colors differed, their tendencies were similar. The foxes were not easily swayed.

“No, nyaa! You should get stamped lightly, nyaa! And if you do, you get food made by the great Chairman Park for life! Three meals a day! Free, nyaa!”

While Teo was trying to lure the foxes with food,

Se-jun thought about the blessings he had. ‘First, the Blessing of Great Abundance,’ he thought. This blessing meant everything would grow well during the festival. ‘Good, no rabbits this time,’ he chuckled, remembering past troubles. Then, the Blessing of Two Magic Streams… this one was strange. It said his magic would grow just by being here!

Se-jun’s level was now 107, all thanks to drinking all the elixirs of growth he had saved up.

As Se-jun activated the Blessing of Great Abundance, information appeared.

“That’s a relief.”

If rabbits had been summoned this time, he wouldn’t have gotten any sleep.

Se-jun then checked the second blessing.

“It was real.”

Magic really did increase just by breathing.

But it’s a little unsettling…

The explanation that magic increases depending on magic affinity was a bit unsettling.

He was working hard to close the gap with the others, but it might widen again in an instant.

“The third one…”

As Se-jun checked the last blessing,

Far below the surface, in the dark earth, the Blessing of Peace reached even Blaze. Blaze, Se-jun’s fire friend, opened his bright eyes. ‘It worked!’ Blaze thought happily. A small purple flame danced in its paw. Because of a special magic called the Flame of Amplification, the Blessing of Peace was even stronger here. ‘Soon, I can see Master Se-jun!’ Blaze thought, stretching its fiery body.

Blaze began to stretch, looking forward to the day it could meet Se-jun.

Back on the surface.

“I’ll get the stamp if you give me 30 more grapes!”

Among the foxes who initially refused, some began to show interest in Teo’s offer.

These were the silver foxes from the Silver Tower, where food was scarce.

“Alright, nyaa!”

And so, the deal was made,

As Teo stamped the foxes’ feet,

Kkueng started giving 30 grapes and various foods to the foxes who got stamped next to him.

They swallowed hard as they looked at the food they received, but desperately held back. They had to take this back to their starving kin.

“Nak, let’s just hold on a little longer.”

“Yeah. If we just hold on for 4 more days, we can eat as many grapes as we want at the grape-eating contest.”

“And there’s also the grape wine drinking contest.”

“True.”

While the silver foxes were fighting their hunger, imagining themselves eating their fill of grapes and grape wine,

“Hey, everyone, let’s eat!” Se-jun, who had prepared dinner, called out to his companions.

Tonight’s menu was pork belly.

All the foxes’ noses began to point towards Se-jun’s cooking area.

Just then,

“You guys come and eat too!” Se-jun called out to the silver foxes. Since they had joined Se-jun Company, food was naturally free.

“Thank you!”

As the silver foxes, called by Se-jun, entered the cooking area,

“Bayon, let’s eat here. The kids all look so innocent and weak.”

“That’s right! If we come on strong, they’ll immediately fall flat on their faces.”

The red fox tribe, centered around Bayon, who was a head taller, began to whisper among themselves.

A moment later.

Bang!

“Hey! If you invited us to the Harvest Festival, you should give us food?!”

“Yeah! Give us food now! Before we kill you!”

Bayon and the red foxes broke down the door of the cooking area, spreading their murderous intent.

Kkueng, who heard their words, put down the wrap he was about to put in his mouth.

Kkueng carefully put down his wrap. This was a big deal – Kkueng loved his food! He reached into his snack pouch and pulled out his Thunder Rod. His eyes narrowed. No one threatened Daddy Se-jun.

The red foxes chose to become slaves in the worst possible way.

Se-jun was deeply moved, seeing Kkueng putting down the wrap for him.
