Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 521

Ophelia giggled to herself, a mischievous glint in her eyes. “The butler will be so surprised later,” she thought, picturing his reaction.

They were currently in the Green Tower Management Zone.

Suddenly, a notification appeared before her.

“[You have planted 100 billion seeds, achieving one of the growth conditions for the Green Great Tower.]”

Brachio, the leader of the Great Green Dragons, smiled, watching the notification appear on the crystal ball. “Hoo hoo hoo. Our granddaughter is working hard.”

Ophelia, still wanting to beat Sejun, was working hard to catch up with him.

Good rivals help each other grow.

Sejun, however, had no idea that he was the rival of the Great Dragon.

Brachio looked at the Green Great Tower growth condition list. “So, we only need to achieve three more growth conditions?” he asked.

The crystal ball showed the list of achievements. ‘Top Farmer (A)’ was checked off because Ophelia had become an A-class farmer. ‘Raising the World Tree’ was done when a chestnut tree World Tree appeared on the 57th floor. And there were two ‘Great Achievements’. The first was when Theo’s green onion killed the locusts for the Neta tribe. The second was when Theo’s special fruits got rid of the giant vampire spiders.

So, out of the eight Green Great Tower growth conditions, five had been achieved.

Achieving more than half of what hadn’t been done in 3,000 years in just the last year was a very satisfactory result.

Suddenly, a magic communication from Kellion Mamb, the manager of the White Tower, arrived. “Uhahaha. Brachio, how have you been?! We achieved six White Tower growth conditions this time thanks to Sejun!”

“Eek!” Brachio exclaimed.

“We will achieve seven before the next Dragon Council!” Brachio was burning with a competitive spirit.

Ophelia’s competitive spirit clearly came from her grandmother.

In the Golden Tower, on the 86th floor, Silaut smirked, a cruel glint in his eyes. “Let envy consume you,” he hissed, and with a wave of his hand, a dark purple mist spread outwards – a wide-area curse.

Instantly, chaos erupted among the soldiers. Voices, thick with rage and resentment, filled the air. “Everton! Why is *he* always chosen for the best missions?!” one soldier roared, face contorted in fury. “Willie! The captain *always* praises you! What have you got that I don’t?!” another screamed, spittle flying. “Lotto! Always winning! Why is it *always* Lotto?!”

A sickening red glow pulsed in the soldiers’ eyes. The hidden, ugly feelings they usually kept locked away – envy, jealousy, bitterness – were ripped to the surface, twisting their faces into masks of hate.

But their angry gazes weren’t fixed on Everton, Willie, or Lotto. Confused and enraged, they turned as one, their bloodshot eyes locking onto Sejun and his companions.

“Heh heh heh. And die fighting each other,” Silaut chuckled.

He enjoyed making others fight each other by making them objects of envy and jealousy. In the end, he enjoyed watching allies destroy themselves.

That was why Silaut was called the King of Envy and Jealousy.

Suddenly, a message appeared before Sejun.

“[You have been cursed by Silaut, the King of Envy and Jealousy.]”

Silaut’s curse began to affect Sejun’s party.

“A Demon King?!” Sejun exclaimed.

With the message, Sejun’s eyes turned red, and the envy and jealousy in his heart tried to rise up. “Why am I the only one who’s weak?!” he thought.

“[The effect of resists the negative energy.]”

“[You have successfully resisted the curse.]”

Fortunately, Sejun was able to push back the curse thanks to his title, mental strength, and divine power.

“Guys, are you okay?!” Sejun asked, worried, as he checked on his party.

“Nyang?! Pfft. I, Hybrid Teo, the vice president, am a cat who has everything, so I won’t be affected by a trivial curse, nyang! I have the lap of the great Hybrid Park, so I have nothing to envy, nyang!”

“Kooeng!”

“[Daddy loves Kooeng, so Kooeng is okay!] Kooeng is happy if Daddy loves Kooeng!”

“Bbyot!”

“[I’m okay because I have peanuts!] Pfft. I’m already Theo’s right front paw!”

Theo, Kooeng, and Bbyot, who already had everything they wanted and lacked nothing, were not affected by the curse.

“Kkihihit. Kking!”

“[Hee hee. Butler! I beat the curse!]”

The Blackie Family were very strong in their minds and couldn’t be cursed by the Demon King’s curse. There was no need to worry.

However, there was one person who could not overcome the curse.

“Why is only Theo happy?! Why is only Theo so lucky?! Give me luck too!” Yuren, who was always envious of Theo’s luck, was furious, his eyes turned red.

“Share Theo’s luck with me too! Woohoo. I’m going to hug you and not let go until you give me luck!” Yuren ran towards the soldiers. In Yuren’s eyes, all 100,000 soldiers looked like Theo.

“Vice President Teo, let’s put him to sleep.”

“Understood, nyang!”

Thwack.

“Kooik!”

Theo hit Yuren on the back of the head, knocking him unconscious.

After the internal cleanup was finished, the soldiers, completely consumed by envy and jealousy and had lost their minds, were about 100m away.

“That’s originally mine! Give it back!”

“I have to take it!”

“That was originally mine!”

Sejun said confidently, “Leave this to me.”

It seemed difficult to stop the soldiers running with glazed eyes with the same powerful attack as before.

Also, it would take too long to knock them out one by one, and they might come to their senses in the middle of defeating the Demon King and run away.

“I can’t lose the full-time employees,” Sejun thought.

Crack.

Sejun took out a purple gem. ‘I’m finally using this,’ he thought.

Smash.

He crushed it with force in his hand.

Suddenly, a message appeared.

“[The protection stone of Uncle, the God of Grape Vines, is destroyed.]”

“[The protection of the Suppressing Grape Vines is activated.]”

“[The Suppressing Grape Vines suppress the enemy.]”

Rustle.

Grape vines sprouted from under the soldiers’ feet and began to wrap around them.

The soldiers initially shook off the grape vines, but the grape vines sprouted endlessly and wrapped around the soldiers, and the soldiers were eventually tied up and suppressed by the grape vines.

“Heh heh heh. Good performance,” Sejun said, satisfied with the protection stone’s performance. “Uncle, I need to offer something for the achievement fee.”

As the soldiers were suppressed, Sejun pointed at Silaut and shouted, “Guys! Catch that guy!”

“Nyang! Understood, nyang!”

“Kooeng!”

“Bbyot!”

Theo, Kooeng, and Bbyot quickly charged towards Silaut.

Sejun followed behind them and asked Blackie, “Blackie, can you do a good exorcism?”

“Kkihihit. Kking! Kking!”

“[Hee hee. The Great Blackie can beat even the Demon King! I win everything!]”

“Okay,” Sejun said.

Sejun stroked Blackie’s head, who was barking confidently, and arrived in front of Silaut, who had been knocked unconscious by Theo’s backhand.

“Go! Exorcism and Blackie!” Sejun commanded.

“Kking! Kking! Kking!”

“[Butler! Trust me! The Great Blackie will solve it! Blackie Family, move out!]”

Thud.

At Sejun’s command, Blackie and his subordinates headbutted Silaut’s forehead.

Plop.

Sejun carefully picked up the Blackie Family, who had fallen to the floor, and put them in his sling bag.

He had confirmed how strong Blackie was in the mental world of the silent invader, White Whale Mobius, so there were no worries.

While waiting for Blackie’s exorcism to finish, Theo was stamping another seal on the back of the heads of the soldiers suppressed by the grape vines. It was a terrible diligence.

In Silaut’s mental world, Silaut struggled, looking at the giant wolf. “This body is Silaut, the King of Envy and Jealousy!”

However, Blackie lightly stepped on Silaut with his front paw. “This body is the Great Blackie! You’re a Demon King? I’m the Great Blackie! I win!”

The exorcism ended in an instant, and the souls bound by Silaut emitted a blue light and escaped out of the mental world.

Suddenly, a message appeared.

“[You have saved 11,123 souls.]”

“[Due to the effect of , all stats increase by 30,258.]”

Blackie surpassed Sejun in an instant. The stat increase was enormous, perhaps because there was a strong soul among the rescued souls.

“Guys, take it. And don’t get caught by the butler. Got it?” Blackie divided the power he had obtained by giving each of his subordinates 3,000 to all stats and made them hide their power.

It was too easy for the former Apostles of Destruction to seal their power without being noticed.

“Hee hee. The butler will be surprised later, right?” Blackie was amused that Sejun thought he was weak.

Besides, he thought, ‘That way, the butler will keep putting me in the sling bag!’

He thought Sejun wouldn’t put him in the sling bag if he knew he had become stronger. He couldn’t miss the sling bag seat where he could feel Sejun’s warm embrace.

“Let’s get out of here!” The Blackie Family, who had hidden their power, came out of the mental world.

While the Blackie Family was performing the exorcism, Sejun, who had nothing to do, hummed and watched Theo stamping seals.

“Pfft. President Park, are you watching me well, nyang?!”

“Yes. I’m watching,” Sejun replied.

“Pfft. Understood, nyang!”

The humming was interrupted because Theo kept checking if he was watching him work well, but Kooeng and Bbyot sang along from the side, so the song wasn’t interrupted.

When Sejun started humming again, a message appeared.

“[Please quickly choose someone to be guardian instead of you for .]”

“[The longer the time without choosing someone, the faster will be destroyed.]”

“Ah. That’s right. I forgot,” Sejun said.

“Then Hamer… no,” Sejun said.

Sejun tried to choose Hamer so that he could gain divine power and create a body, but he changed his mind. Sejun was currently unable to handle the stats he had borrowed from other tower farmers, and Hamer was very busy making enhancement potions.

“Then who should I…” Sejun wondered.

Suddenly, a message appeared to Sejun.

“[The God of Loneliness, We, and 10 other gods are asking if Park Sejun can hear our voices.]”

The God of Loneliness, We, gathered the lonely gods one by one and prayed to Sejun together, and the prayer, in which the wills of several gods were gathered, became a clear message that could be conveyed to Sejun.

“We?!” Sejun exclaimed.

“Yes. I can hear you. But by any chance, is the God of Loneliness, We, the same We as the grape vine We that I named?” Sejun asked, thinking of the grape vine We as soon as he heard the name.

“[The God of Loneliness, We, and 10 other gods say that’s right.]”

“Really?! That’s great! Congratulations on becoming a god, We. But what’s wrong?”

“[The God of Loneliness, We, and 10 other gods are asking if they can’t build a temple for themselves.]”

“A temple? How about being a guardian instead of me?” Sejun asked, needing someone to take his place.

“[The God of Loneliness, We, and 10 other gods say they want to be guardians together.]”

“Together? Is that possible? I want to choose the God of Loneliness, We, and 10 others to be guardians together. Distribution is 1 each,” Sejun said.

Suddenly, a message appeared.

“[Offer the position of guardian of to the God of Loneliness, We, and 10 other gods with the condition of 89 to 11 distribution.]”

An offer was sent to the gods.

If it wasn’t for We, he would have given a distribution of 1 even if the opponent was 11 people, but he didn’t want We to be hated or lonely, so he gave each of them a distribution of 1 with the meaning of taking good care of We.

After a while, a message appeared.

“[The God of Loneliness, We, and 10 other gods accept the position of guardian of .]”

“[The God of Loneliness, We, and 10 other gods have become guardians of in place of Park Sejun.]”

11 gods accepted Sejun’s offer.

“[You have 11 gods under your command.]”

“[Due to the effect of , all stats increase by 550, and divinity increases by 22.]”

Sejun achieved unexpected results by having 11 gods under his command.

“[Because you chose someone to be guardian instead of you, you have become the unofficial guardian deity of .]”

When Sejun became the unofficial guardian deity of Scudo, Theo hit Yuren on the back of the head, who was trying to wake up, and knocked him unconscious again.

“Hmm…” Sejun muttered.

Thwack!

“Pfft. President Park, I’ve stamped them all, nyang! Take this, nyang!” Theo said, stamping the last seal on the back of Marin’s head and taking the necklace hanging around Marin’s neck and handing it to Sejun.

“Thank you,” Sejun said.

Smash.

Sejun crushed the heart of Silaut, the King of Envy and Jealousy, including the envy and jealousy contained in his heart.

Of course, envy and jealousy would boil up again when he found out that Blackie had become stronger than him.
