Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 562

“Hmm.”

Sejun opened his eyes.

“Heh heh heh. There’s no place like home.”

Sejun opened his eyes a little. He wiggled his toes and read the messages.

[>Authority: Sunfish Core> All stat potential increased by 30.]

[>Authority: Hardy Young Dragon’s Strong Bones> All stat potential increased by 10.]

[>Authority: Hardy Young Dragon’s Strong Bones> All stats increased by 1.]

He checked the messages.

“Huh?”

Hardy Young Dragon’s Strong Bones effect?

Sejun thought to himself, *I was so busy reporting back yesterday and playing with Ace that I didn’t check my Authority.*

Sejun checked the options for >Authority: Hardy Young Dragon’s Strong Bones>.

>Authority: Hardy Young Dragon’s Strong Bones< Level +15 All stats +300 All stat potential +5000 All stat potential increases by 10 daily. All stats increase by 1 daily. Learning efficiency greatly increases. Dragon bones greatly increase resistance to external energy. Bone density increases, bones become less brittle, and body weight increases. "Heh heh heh." Sejun thought, *It's gotten much better.* Sejun grinned, his eyes crinkling at the corners, after checking the options. As the Authority strengthened, it increased by level 5, all stats by 200, and all stat potential by 4000 compared to before. The option to increase all stats by 1 every 10 days changed to increasing daily, and an option to increase all stat potential by 10 daily was added. *Other options not shown numerically have also improved slightly.* After checking his Authority, Sejun slowly wiggled his toes for about 10 minutes before getting up. A soft "Meow..." drifted from the bed, followed by a chorus of tiny "Squeak... squeak..." sounds. Theo, still lost in dreams of chasing sunbeams, stretched a golden paw in his sleep. The Blackie family, a warm, black bundle of fur, stirred and mumbled in their sleep-nests. Sejun smiled gently at his sleeping companions. Quietly, so as not to wake them, he slipped out of the room and into the morning air. Thud. Thud. As he walked, his footsteps seemed to make the crops grow faster. [The strong lower body of the farmer appreciates the footsteps and lends its strength.] [The Great Gratitude (Master) of the crops is activated, increasing magic stat potential from 20,357 to 20,367.] He raised his potential. While walking through the farm like that, "Kooeng!" [Daddy, did you sleep well!] Kooeng joined him and clung to his side. "Brother-in-law! Did you sleep well!" Ace also joined him and climbed onto Sejun's back. Even though Ace, with his 5m bulk, had his feet dragging on the ground even when Sejun carried him, "Puhihhihi." Ace thought, *Brother-in-law's back is soft and warm.* Still, Ace was happy to be on Sejun's back. A little later, Sejun went to the kitchen with his companions and made breakfast. "Nephew, take this and eat it with your mother-in-law." [Our Nephew♡] [Mother-in-law♡] Sejun handed Ace an omelet rice with words written in shiny, red ketchup. "Yes! Puhihhihi. Brother-in-law, a heart for me too!" Ace made a heart with both arms and sent it to Sejun before taking the food to his mother. "Alright. Let's eat." Sejun also ate breakfast with Theo, Kooeng, and the Blackie family. If he only wrote on Ace's food, a riot would break out, so words were written on all of Theo, Kooeng, and the Blackie family's dishes as well. On Theo's giant grilled fish, it was written with Churu: [The right-hand man of the great hybrid Park Sejun, the deadly dragon claw hybrid golden cat merchant Park Theo] And on Kooeng and the Blackie family's omelet rice: [Filial son Kooeng♡] [Not-so-great Shubokchi Blackie♡] [Umdol♡] He wrote the words with ketchup. "Keeheehee. Squeak?" [Kooeng, what does it say here?] Blackie excitedly asked Kooeng what was written on his omelet rice. *I have the most ketchup! As expected, the butler likes me the most!* Kooeng... [That's grea...] "Kooeng, eat your food. Blackie, it means you should eat that and grow up quickly." Sejun, feeling a little guilty, quickly stepped in to gloss over it. "I should eat too." [Park Sejun] Sejun wrote his name on his omelet rice with ketchup. At that moment, [The Tower's Administrator tells you to eat the food she secretly hid for you, away from your family.] Eileen sent Sejun the food she had been making. "Okay... Eileen, you eat this too." Sejun wrote additional words on his omelet rice with a resigned expression and sent it to Eileen. [Park Sejun♡Eileen Fritani] "Kheeheehee. Sejun, a heart for me too!" Eileen sent a finger heart towards Sejun, who was visible in the crystal ball. While they were eating, "Ppoo." [Soogoo, fetch water.] "Bebe!" [Yes!] The Gluttonous Eight Arms made Besugu fetch water, taking revenge for the humiliation he had suffered. He seemed to need to learn a lot from Theo. When the meal was over, "Slurp." "Puhuhut." "Koohehehe." "Keeheeheet." Sejun's companions gathered around him as he drank the coffee Kooeng had made. Thud. Thud. Thud. "Puhihhihi." Ace, who had finished eating with Elizabeth, also came to Sejun and leaned his belly against Sejun, resting his head on Sejun's shoulder. A peaceful rest time for Sejun and his companions. -But what are those? -Kooeng released them a while ago, didn't he? -Are we supposed to eat them as snacks? -That can't be it. Splash. Splash. Rustle. Rustle. The Four Dragon Society dragons watched the Doomsday Destruction Turtles, which Kooeng had released into the fountain, swimming happily. 30 minutes later. “Alright, everyone,” Sejun said, stretching his arms. “Time to work!” He stood up, ready for the day. Suddenly, Teo, the small squirrel, bounced excitedly. “Chairman Park, sir!” he squeaked, his voice full of energy. “I’m going to make us mountains of money today!” He twitched his nose and added with a cute ‘meow’ sound. Kueng, the big brown bear, chuckled softly. “Kueng will find the best herbs,” he thought happily. "[Good herbs for everyone!]" With that, Teo and Kueng hurried off to their jobs. Teo scampered towards the towering Violet Tower, its purple stones gleaming in the morning light, while Kueng lumbered into the shadowy, mysterious West Forest. “Brother-in-law, I’m going to the 10th Tower, want to come with me?” Sejun asked Ace. “Yes! Brother-in-law!” Ace replied eagerly. Sejun and Ace headed to the 10th Tower. Sejun's strength was now over 40,000. With the Kong set, it could exceed 100,000. Thud. Thud. He was worried the door might be too small, but as Ace approached, it magically grew, allowing Ace to pass through easily. Keeheeheet. Squeak! Squeak! "[Heehee. Minions, the great Blackie Captain has returned! This time, a great adventure awaits!] As soon as Blackie entered the 10th Tower, he started boasting to the Doom Devourers and Doom Pioneers about his amazing adventures. “Brother-in-law, let’s get stronger. Eat this.” Ace offered. “Yes!” Sejun replied. After Sejun and Ace ate the +2 Transcended Black Bean and the Power Up Yellow Bean, they placed the bodies of the Kraken and Leviathan on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the 10th Tower. Melfix's body was already on the 1st floor, and Dilia's had been on the 2nd floor. But Alice's body was losing its life force. So, Sejun moved Dilia's body, which he had obtained after Alice, to the subspace warehouse to gain more experience. When they finished moving the bodies of the Doom Apostles, Sejun announced, “Alright, everyone, let’s plant some seeds!” “Kyakya!” The Doom Pioneers cheered, ready to work. Sejun went back down to the 1st floor and decided to plant Doom Devourer seeds with the Doom Pioneers. “Ah, right! Everyone, look at this. I got a new farming tool,” Sejun said, pulling out the pitchfork. Sejun smiled to himself. 'Of course,' he thought, 'I should show off my new tool.' “This can even gather fire, wind, and water to create a Fire-Wind-Water Energy Blast!” Sejun boasted. He held up the pitchfork and used the skill. Red fire, silver wind, and blue water swirled together at the end. Wham! The energy blasted into the ground, creating a huge, smoking hole. “Amazing, right? And a Water Bomb!” Sejun said, using the skill again. This time, a trickle of water came from the rightmost blade. “Huhu. I can dig and water the ground at the same time like this,” Sejun said, demonstrating how to dig with the pitchfork. The pitchfork was supposed to shoot strong Water Bombs. But Sejun used only a little magic. So, the water was weak and silly. “Fire Bomb! I can use this to start a fire. Wind Bomb! No need to fan yourself when it’s hot with this,” Sejun continued, boasting even though he was using the divine object as a simple farming tool. Keeheeheet. Squeak! Squeak! "[Heehee. The butler is putting on a show! Everyone, clap for the butler!] Blackie ordered his subordinates to clap. The Doom Devourers and Doom Pioneers clapped with their leaves and then started working with Sejun. Crunch crunch. “Puhhihihi. Delicious.” Ace sat on the edge of the tower, eating banana chips Sejun gave him, watching Sejun plant seeds. The tower was fully upgraded, so there was nothing else to do. [You have planted a Doom Pioneer seed (+1) in land containing refined Doom Energy and magic power.] [Job experience slightly increases.] [The proficiency of Magic Power Seed Sowing (Master) slightly increases.] While Sejun was diligently planting Doom Devourer seeds, [The creation energy created in the 10th Tower has reached 12 million L.] [The 5th floor of the 10th Tower is now open.] [The 5th floor of the 10th Tower is activated.] [The floor height of all floors of the 10th Tower is doubled.] A message appeared in front of Sejun. “Oh! Patrick, please move Stella to the 3rd floor of the tower,” Sejun said, quickly telling Patrick about the message. [The Earth God Patrick says that the great Silver Dragon Stella Histron is currently helping the God of Farming, Hamer, to create enhancement elixirs, so there is no need to worry in the future.] Patrick replied. “What?! She’s making enhancement elixirs together?!” Sejun exclaimed, surprised. Stella was supposed to help those who passed the trials of the 10th Tower. But Sejun was too weak, so she became bored and felt useless. Then let me out! I'm bored! Stella, feeling restless, found something to do and started helping Hamer make enhancement elixirs. Ah. So that's why the enhancement elixirs were being made so quickly these days. Sejun realized the faster production was all thanks to Stella. [You have arrived at the 4th floor of the 10th Tower.] Sejun, still talking with Patrick, arrived at the 4th floor. He touched the white crystal. [You have cleared the 4th floor of the 10th Tower.] [As a reward for clearing the 4th floor of the tower, you have acquired 10 billion Tower Coins and 200 billion experience points.] [All stats increase by 300 as a reward for clearing the 4th floor of the tower.] [The upgrade limit increases by 100%.] [The waypoint for the 4th floor of the tower has been saved.] [Moving to the 5th floor of the tower.] With the reward message, a waypoint appeared, and Sejun moved to the 5th floor. [You have arrived at the 5th floor of the 10th Tower.] “Wow. This place is even wider,” Sejun said, looking around. The 5th floor was four times the size of the 4th, an incredibly large land 256 times the size of the 1st floor. “I should plant something for now.” Sejun decided, and started planting crops on the empty land. Rumble. Outside the 10th Tower, a huge change was happening. The height of the tower doubled, and the 10th Tower moved closer to the energy of destruction. As the 10th Tower got closer to the center of destruction, it began to absorb even more concentrated Doom Energy. [An unmanageable amount of Doom Energy is being forcibly drawn in from outside the 10th Tower.] Absorbing a tremendous amount of Doom Energy, the same thing happened again. “Really? Good. Turn on the lighthouse,” Sejun said, excited to finally use it. He activated the Creation Lighthouse that Burns Doom. [Consuming 300,000L of creation energy, the lighthouse that burns doom is turned on for 1 hour.] The lighthouse at the top of the 10th Tower lit up, and a powerful white light exploded outwards. Whoosh. The Doom Energy that touched the light burned and was purified. The lighthouse was also meant to show its location to those far away. “What is it? What is this unpleasant light?” Jormungandr asked, annoyed. “Lord Jormungandr, it’s light coming from that tower!” Hydra reported. “Let’s watch for now,” Jormungandr decided cautiously. I might get hurt if I go. Jormungandr and Hydra were not fooled by the light. They were actually too scared to move closer, feeling a sense of danger because the vampire Leviathan had not returned. “Oh! The fire has gone out,” Hydra said. “It was nothing after all,” Jormungandr scoffed. They stayed put until the light went out, and the 10th Tower successfully narrowed the distance with destruction.
