Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 577

Deep within the cavernous stomach of Jormungandr lay Earthworm. It wasn’t what one might expect inside a giant serpent. Instead of slime and darkness, a surprisingly fertile land stretched out, bathed in a soft, internal glow. A gentle, rumbling sound, like a giant purr, vibrated through the soil.

“Bae-ro-rong,” a tiny, sleepy sound drifted from somewhere nearby.

“Oh dear,” Sejun murmured, his voice echoing slightly in the vast space. “Our Bat-bat-i needs shade for his nap. Kueng-ah, have you seen Bat-bat-i?”

A fluffy white rabbit with bright eyes popped up from behind a giant mushroom. “Kueng!” he chirped, his nose twitching. “[He’s on Daddy’s left arm!]”

“Is that so?” Sejun responded.

Thump.

Sejun, listening to Kueng’s words, gently touched his left arm.

“Here you are.”

He carefully picked up Bat-bat-i, who was sleeping soundly.

He slightly lifted the straw hat he was wearing, gently placed Bat-bat-i on his head, and put the hat back on. It was special treatment for Bat-bat-i, who had created a dimensional gate and saved everyone.

And then,

“Become abundant.”

He used his magical energy in a low voice so as not to wake Bat-bat-i, upgrading the soil to the highest quality and feeding the Earth Dragons.

“Eat quietly, because our Bat-bat-i is sleeping.”

Of course, he didn’t forget to warn the Earth Dragons.

As Sejun favored only Bat-bat-i,

“Nyang…”

“I don’t like it, nyang!” Theo complained.

Theo was suppressing his jealousy because he hadn’t lost his spot on Sejun’s lap.

“I have to show them my skills, nyang!”

Theo burned with the desire to be favored by Sejun.

Whoosh!

“Nyang!”

Tap tap tap!

He defeated the white snakes that had invaded Earthworm.

Three minutes later,

“Puhuhu. Great Hybrid Chairman Park, I worked hard, nyang! Vice Chairman Theo wants to be favored too, nyang!”

Theo, with a triumphant expression, went up to Sejun’s lap and lay down on his back.

“Okay. Good job. Do you want some Churu?” Sejun asked, stroking Theo’s head and offering him a tasty cat treat.

“I like it, nyang!”

Chomp chomp chomp.

Theo immediately stuck out his tongue and indulged in the Churu.

“Puhuhu. Being favored is always good, nyang!”

Nothing was different from usual, but he liked being favored.

Park Theo, an easy cat who wasn’t dissatisfied, but too easily satisfied, was the problem. Of course, he was only an easy cat to Sejun.

Sejun spent the morning in Earthworm, feeding the Earth Dragons and planting seeds of the Devouring Doom.

And when it was lunchtime,

“Eat well, everyone. Let’s go back.”

Sejun used his power to make the highest quality soil, fed it to the Earth Dragons, and returned to the 99th floor of the Black Tower through the dimensional gate to have lunch.

“Ugh. Sejun, I’m going home for a bit. I think I need to rest,” Ajax yawned, forcing his sleepy eyes open.

“Okay. Go back and get some rest. Say hello to Kellion for me,” Sejun replied.

“Okay! Bro! I’ll just sleep for one night, just one night!” Ajax said, feeling sorry for being the only one going to sleep, emphasized one night to Sejun.

“Okay. Go back, Ajax.”

At Sejun’s words, Ajax was instantly returned to the White Tower.

And then,

“Kellion, Ajax just left. Don’t wake him up, even if he asks you to.”

He went to Kellion and told him not to wake Ajax up. Ajax was still young and needed enough sleep during his growing period.

After sending Ajax away, while Sejun was eating lunch,

-Brother-in-law~!

Ace’s black dragon statue flew in quickly.

-Brother-in-law, you’re back! I thought I’d never see you again… Huhu,

Ace was sobbing.

Sejun quietly put some dragon chicken nuggets into the mouth of the black dragon statue. He had even made dragon chicken nuggets, anticipating that Ace would come.

-Hee hee hee,

Ace started laughing, as if he had confirmed Sejun’s dragon chicken nuggets.

At that moment,

-Oh?! Brother-in-law, my sister is coming! See you next time!

Ace hurriedly left.

As Ace disappeared,

Kueng!

[Daddy’s coffee!]

Sejun drank the coffee that Kueng had made and started his afternoon work.

In the afternoon, he visited the 10th Tower to replenish the lacking seeds of the Devouring Doom and went back to Earthworm.

And again, a series of planting seeds.

Thanks to the rapidly increasing number of Devouring Doom seeds and the overflowing magical energy in Earthworm, other changes began to appear.

The land became richer, and although Sejun didn’t notice, the size of Earthworm also gradually increased.

“Puhuhu. Great Hybrid Chairman Park, I worked hard, nyang! Favor me, nyang!”

Kuhehehe. Kueng! Kueng!

[Hehehe. Kueng also worked! I want to be favored!]

Theo and Kueng occasionally came to Sejun, who was planting seeds, to request special attention. The special treatment wasn’t much different from what they usually did, such as lying on Sejun’s lap and eating Churu, or eating grilled rice cakes dipped in arrowroot honey while being petted by Sejun.

Kee hee hee. Kking!

[Hee hee. Butler! Favor the great Blackie too!]

Of course, there were also the Blackie Family who wanted to be favored without working.

“No, nyang! You only get favored if you work, nyang!”

Kueng!

[You have to work if you want to be favored!]

They were cut off by their older brothers.

Kking…

[The great Blackie also wants to be favored…]

Blackie became sulky.

“Blackie, plant 100 seeds and come back. Then I’ll favor you,” Sejun said, giving hope to Blackie.

Kee hee hee. Kking! Kking! Kking!

[Hee hee. Okay! Butler! Wait a little! The great Blackie will plant them quickly and come back!]

Tap tap tap.

The Blackie Family hurriedly ran to plant 100 seeds and returned.

Slurp. Slurp. Slurp.

They received the special treatment of eating dried sweet potatoes in a sling bag.

As Sejun played with his companions in between farming and it became evening,

“Become abundant.”

Sejun used his power again to create the highest quality land for the Earth Dragons to eat.

“Huh? It’s fast.”

Thanks to the magical energy, the soil quality improved, and the land’s soil quality rose to the highest level without having to use his power many times.

“Shall I do a little more? Become abundant!”

Sejun used his power a little harder, drinking mugwort juice potions, thinking of finishing his job quest today.

A little later.

Sejun felt the land becoming richer and knew his work was making a big difference. He had completed the job quest.

He leveled up to 151, acquired 100 billion Tower Coins, and all his stats increased by 300.

“Then eat well. Everyone, let’s go…”

When Sejun, who had completed the quest, was about to leave the Earth Dragons eating the highest quality soil and return to the 99th floor of the Black Tower,

All the Earth Dragons in Earthworm felt their strength return.

Sejun completed another quest.

As a reward, the option of Power: Strong Bones of a Young Dragon was enhanced.

As a reward, Black Earth Dragon Park Toryong was allowed to stay in Earthworm.

Another quest completion message appeared.

And then,

Black Earth Dragon Park Toryong was summoned to Earthworm.

Then,

“Huh?! The one who swallows the land?!” one of the Earth Dragons exclaimed.

“The troublemaker is back!” another cried.

The Earth Dragons recognized Toryong. But their titles and reactions didn’t seem to welcome him.

What’s wrong? Do they hate our Toryong?

Sejun was worried about Toryong.

“No! Our peace is over!”

“We’re going to get beaten up every day now!”

The Earth Dragons were very afraid of Toryong. They trembled and avoided eye contact.

“Hey guys, long time no see,” Toryong greeted the Earth Dragons happily.

The ruler of Earthworm has returned.

1000 years ago,

The great Black Dragon proposed to Toryong, who was bored because there was no one left to fight in Earthworm. “Will you follow me to the Black Tower?”

And he gladly left Earthworm and fought against the strong while climbing the Black Tower.

The day he climbed and arrived at the 99th floor of the Tower,

“Hello. I’m Tooni, the farmer of the Black Tower! Could you not step on the place where I planted the seeds?”

He met a farmer on the 99th floor of the Tower.

“Seeds? Why are you planting seeds?”

“If you plant one seed, you can eat a lot of delicious things later!” Guineapig Tooni, with chubby cheeks, answered his question with a happy voice.

“Really?! Then I’ll help you, so give me something to eat too!”

“Okay! I like it!”

It seems like it was at that time that fighting became no longer fun.

After that, he joined forces with Tooni and became a helper to the Black Tower’s Tower Farmer, farming together and living a happy life.

Tooni was strong and good at farming.

But,

“Sorry… I think I need to rest now. Please take care of the farm.”

“Okay. Leave it to me.”

The allowed time was too short compared to his.

After parting with Tooni like that,

“Hello. I’m the new Tower Farmer of the Black Tower…”

To keep his promise with Tooni, he became a helper to several Tower Farmers of the Black Tower for hundreds of years, farming together.

However, at some point, the great Black Dragon stopped appointing the Tower Farmer of the Black Tower, and he became tired of waiting for the next Tower Farmer and fell into a long sleep.

Sejun was the one he met after waking up from about 200 years of sleep.

Too weak. He’s going to die soon again.

When he saw Sejun, Tooni came to mind.

And he also thought, ‘Do you think anyone can be a Tower Farmer?!’

So, he threatened Sejun to make him quit being a Tower Farmer, but he was defeated by Kueng, who was next to Sejun.

And then,

“I even made a cool name for you… Aren’t you curious?”

-My name?!

“Yeah. How about Toryong (土龍)? In Earth, 룡 is the same as dragon.”

He accepted the name Toryong and became a helper to the Tower Farmer again.

After seeing Sejun’s performance, Toryong realized that power wasn’t everything.

Sejun had something special that couldn’t be seen with the measure of power. A dazzling talent that no one could see.

The problem was that it couldn’t be seen, but you could feel it if you were next to Sejun.

In a word…

“It means you shouldn’t treat Sejun carelessly just because he’s weak! Do you understand?!”

“Yes!”

I don’t have any intention of doing that…

At Toryong’s words, the Earth Dragons screamed and answered.

Park Toryong quickly took control of the Earth Dragons.

“First, I’ll teach you how to turn over the soil and make fields.”

He started teaching the Earth Dragons how to farm.

Earthworm had a lot of flat land, making it easy to farm. It was good for quickly increasing the size of the farm and increasing Sejun’s experience.

The next day,

“Good morning, everyone. Huh?!”

Sejun, who went to work at Earthworm, witnessed vast, well-organized fields.

Toryong had the Earth Dragons make it all night.

Kkeaak!

Kkeaak!

Thanks to the enormous scale of farming, even the mushroom ants had to come over to Earthworm to help with farming.

Everyone worked together to increase the size of the farm.

Sejun felt his experience rapidly increasing as he created fields of cherry tomatoes and green onions.

The crops planted became ordinary, but because Sejun grew them, they grew quickly and tasted good.

The Temple of the God of Creation.

“Should I say I caught it?” The God of Creation said, watching Earthworm.

The Apostles of Destruction had clearly taken his bait. Thanks to that, he defeated Hydra.

But no matter how he looked at it, Jormungandr didn’t look like a caught fish. Earthworm was inside Jormungandr’s stomach.

There was no way to catch a fish that had bitten the bait.

“It’s a relief that Sejun is protecting it well.”

But it’s impossible to defeat Jormungandr in this state.

“Hmm…”

Isn’t there any way?

The God of Creation was worried for a while.

At that time,

“Huh?!”

Changes began to occur in Earthworm.

And then,

“No way!”

That’s Possible?!

The God of Creation was greatly surprised by the unprecedented situation he had never heard of before.

Earthworm was evolving into an 11-level world.
