Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 669

In a bedroom where everyone was asleep, Batbat woke up and began his activities.

Batbat stretched his small body, letting out a soft *kuh-err* sound as he woke up. Then, he hopped off the bed with a gentle *goro-rong* noise, his tiny feet padding softly on the floor. *Kkyu-ro-rong. Pya-ro-rong. Kki-ro-rong.* He yawned and shook his fur, ready to start his night.

(Batbat?)

A soft, unfamiliar sound tickled Batbat’s ears. *Pya-ro-rong.* (Batbat? Could that be Master Wolbok?) *Oh no, has he run away from his kingdom again?*

Heukyulbok, the small king of the Red Ribbon Kingdom from the 55th floor, was spread out like a starfish on Sejun’s stomach, snoring softly. He looked completely relaxed and peaceful, finally free from his kingdom’s worries.

Sejun had asked Aileen in the evening if Heukyulbok wanted to go to Earth.

“Honey, I’m going because Uncle urgently called me!”

At the thought of being able to leave the kingdom, Heukyulbok had rushed over without minding the dark night. No, he fled. Heukyulbok was still afraid of the night.

Meanwhile, Kkamangi, the little black dragon, was clinging tightly to Sejun’s chest. His tiny claws were carefully tucked in, but his grip was firm, as if he was afraid of falling off.

(Baehehe.)

Our Kkamangi is so cute.

Batbat’s heart warmed at the sight of his friends. With a gentle nudge of his paw, he carefully turned the black rabbit toy, making sure Kkamangi was safe and comfortable on Sejun’s chest. He always looked out for his friends.

Then, as usual, he headed to the kitchen to fill his belly with the sweet fruit lunchbox Sejun had prepared.

(Batbat? What is that?)

Next to Batbat’s fruit lunchbox was a note left by Sejun.

Batbat checked the note.

The note read: “-Batbat, I’m going to Earth tomorrow for a friend’s wedding. Please take care of the tower while I’m gone. And don’t go too far!”

Batbat read the note and blinked. “Master is going to Earth?” A thought popped into his head. *”Ah, that’s why Master Wolbok is here! He must be sad to see Master go.”*

Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.

After checking the note, Batbat diligently sucked on the fruit juice to fill his belly.

(Batbat. A wedding! Of course, they need a special song to celebrate love!)

Batbat’s mind started racing. (A song that will touch hearts across all worlds! Yes, I, Batbat, will create the perfect wedding song!) He puffed out his chest with pride.

(Our love~ can’t be stopped by dimensions~ Even if we’re far apart, we can know and find each other~)

Composed/Lyrics by Park Batbat.

It seemed like it would become a timeless congratulatory song loved at weddings in all dimensions.

(Baehehe. I should ask Sejun to come up with the song title!)

Because I’m not good at naming things.

It seemed the impact of the song would be greatly reduced due to the title.

The genius Batbat finished writing both the lyrics and the music in just two hours.

Flap. Flap.

He patrolled the surroundings for the first time in a while.

-Kuhahaha. Batbat, you’re awake?

-Come and have some of this.

The Nine Dragons Association’s dragons, who were drinking, called out to Batbat and offered him fruit snacks.

(Baehehe. Thank you!)

Batbat picked up a piece of watermelon and sat next to the dragons’ statues.

Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.

He diligently sucked on the juice of the watermelon piece, which was as big as himself, and quietly eavesdropped on the great dragons’ conversation.

The dragons were talking loudly, mostly boasting about their own power and achievements. But then, Batbat heard something interesting. “Did you hear? A new world called ‘Toras’ has connected to the Purple Tower!” one dragon boomed.

Batbat’s ears perked up. *(A new world? Maybe Master will explore it someday!)* He listened more closely, hoping to hear more exciting news.

(Batbat. Thank you for the meal!)

He thanked the dragons and

Flap. Flap.

Moved to another place.

This time, he went to where the Ox King was.

Moo!

The Ox King, who helped Pink Fur and the other black minotaurs train during the day, was training alone at night.

(Batbat. Ox King, please have some of this while you train.)

Batbat brought the Ox King the grass piled up in the field.

Munch.

Moo. Moo?

“[Thank you, Batbat. Let’s see how your flying skills are coming along today.]”

(Batbat! Yes! I’ve been practicing my new move!)

Munch.

Moo. Moo.

“[Hmm, you’re getting better, but your wings are still a bit stiff. Try to make your movements smoother, like water flowing.]”

(Batbat!)

The Ox King tore at the grass Batbat gave him and gave Batbat feedback on his skills.

Moo.

“[Then I’ll have to train again.]”

(Batbat. Thank you.)

Batbat received personal instruction from the Ox King while he ate all the grass.

Flap. Flap.

This time, he stopped by the mushroom ants’ house to check if there were any problems.

There’s nothing wrong here.

Batbat checked on the mushroom ants, who were sleeping soundly, piled on top of each other.

Then, he checked where Pink Fur and Kkueng were sleeping.

Koo-rurung.

Kkuhehehe.

(Baehehe. Master Kkueng seems to be having a good dream.)

Kkueng smiled happily in Pink Fur’s arms.

When the patrol within a 5km radius of Sejun’s house was over,

(Batbat. There are about 2 hours left until morning. Batbo!)

Batbat increased his speed and quickly checked the places that were further away.

Starting with the Black Viper’s Magic Tower and the fire ant house in the south, clockwise to Kkueng’s herb garden in the west, the place where the black minotaurs live in the north, and the habitat of the stone honeybees in the east.

(Batbat! All clear!)

Batbat, who had finished patrolling the 99th floor of the Black Tower, took his place on Sejun’s shoulder with a proud expression.

Kuh-err.

Goro-rong.

Kkyu-ro-rong.

Pya-ro-rong.

Bae-ro-rong.

Kki-ro-rong.

Soon, the sound of Batbat’s snoring mixed with the snoring of the group.

As Batbat drifted off to sleep, far away, in a completely different place… *** The salty air of the 375th Dimensional Sea Area filled the lungs of a small bird. *Piyot!* [Messenger bird, Bigi, breaks through the enemy lines!]

Bigi, the brave messenger bird, chirped proudly, [Messenger bird, Bigi, breaks through the enemy lines!] Perched on his back, a small creature with a mischievous grin shouted, ‘Uhehehe. I, Yuren, am the strategic weapon!’ Beside them, another figure, round and fluffy, added, ‘,Mohehehe. Stinging sandstorm!’ Together, Bigi, Yuren, and Poyo, a quirky team of adventurers, zipped and zoomed between the enemy ships…

The ship they were on was already sinking, but the three weren’t too worried. They could just take the last remaining ship.

The battle against Kamouse’s Ten Kings had begun.

Keska, the King of Misfortune, appeared and announced, “How amusing. I, Keska, shall be your opponent.”

Keska, the King of Misfortune, was the lowest-ranked of Kamouse’s Ten Kings.

“You shall receive misfortune!” Keska declared, inflicting his power upon Bbyot, Yuren, and Poyo.

Bbyot felt a sudden weakness overcome him.

Bbyot struggled under Keska’s misfortune.

But Yuren, who possessed the Star of Blessing Misfortune, a divine artifact of the God of Misfortune, felt a surge of power. “Woohoo! I suddenly feel overflowing with power!” he exclaimed.

Poyo was also delighted. “Mohehehe. What is this?! It feels intoxicating!” he said, enjoying the misfortune entering his entire body.

Yuren shouted, “Woohoo! That level of misfortune only makes me stronger!”

Then, with a thud, Keska, the King of Misfortune, was struck by Yuren’s body slam and fell easily. “Kerk!” he groaned.

Bbyot flapped his wings powerfully, sending a storm of sharp feathers towards Pire. “Heraldic Bird Ultimate: Sky Full of Feathers!” he cried.

Following that, the Ninth King fell to Bbyot’s attack, and the Eighth King fell to Poyo’s attack. “Mohehehe. Sandstorm!”

The Seventh, Sixth, and Fifth Kings also fell as soon as they appeared.

His, the Fifth King, the One Who Slices, stood in their path and said, “Not bad. But this is the end.”

Sejun prepared to return to Earth, the Great Dragons and others saw him off on the 99th floor of the Black Tower.

The Great Dragons tore off a few of their scales and gave them to Sejun. “Use this when you go to eat something delicious,” one rumbled.

“If anyone bothers you, tell me immediately. I will personally descend,” another warned. “If you are in danger, tell me. I will go immediately.”

Even though Sejun’s level far surpassed the level of Earth, which was now a Level 1 world, he still seemed insignificant and weak in the eyes of the dragons. (Even though Sejun was incredibly strong now, Earth was still a ‘Level 1 world’ – a place with much weaker magical energy compared to the Black Tower.)

“Yes. I understand,” Sejun replied.

Sejun said something different from what he was thinking and only accepted the Great Dragons’ sincerity.

Sejun spoke to Aileen. “Aileen, I’ll be back.”

Aileen was upset that she couldn’t go with him. [The Tower Administrator says in a gloomy voice that she is upset that she cannot go with you.]

Sejun had considered giving Aileen the sacred artifact of Nature’s God, Natu, to use the Transcendental Power: Non-Action of Nature, but he gave up after hearing the answers from the Nine Dragon Association dragons.

The dragons explained that Aileen’s dragon nature was too strong to be changed by magic, especially not by this artifact.

For reference, Aileen’s one-hour stay cost, which was once a staggering 100 trillion, was now so high it couldn’t even be measured!

In the meantime, Aileen had become incredibly powerful in a short time, growing stronger with every meal of Sejun’s delicious crops.

“It’s okay. We can go to another wedding later. I have many friends. Kyungchul and…” Sejun comforted Aileen.

Kyungchul and… Kyungchul and…

Why don’t I have any friends?

Sejun, who had been a complete outsider, now realized that he had no friends. Maybe that’s why he survived so well alone even after being stranded on the 99th floor of the Tower…

Theo rubbed his soft fur against Sejun’s cheek, purring loudly. “Puhuhut. Don’t be too sad, Great Hybrid Chairman Park! You have Vice Chairman Theo, nyaang?!”

Kkuengi nudged Sejun’s hand with his head, making happy ‘Kkueng!’ sounds. [Hehehe. Kkuengi is with Daddy!]

Blackie, in his own gruff way, growled softly. [Grrr. Butler! What’s the problem when you have the Great Blackie-nim?!]

Theo, Kkuengi, and Blackie comforted Sejun in their own ways, and thanks to them, Sejun recovered his mentality.

“Okay, go in,” Sejun said, putting his companions into the subspace warehouse and getting on the waypoint.

Aileen told him that she had informed his home that Sejun was coming. [The Tower Administrator says that she has already told your mother that you are coming.]

“Okay. Thank you, Aileen. Then, I’ll go,” Sejun said, thanking Aileen and moving to the 1st floor of the Tower.

He put Theo, who came out of the subspace warehouse, on his lap, reduced his energy, and crossed the shopping district on the 1st floor of the Tower to go to the exclusive passage.

As he walked, he overheard snippets of conversation. “Hey, did you hear? Earth’s strongest guy, Oh Kyungchul, is getting married today?!”

“Yeah, I heard! Wonder what his bride is like?” another voice responded.

The first voice continued, “She’s the eldest daughter of a very rich and powerful family, like a business empire. Plus, she’s pretty and capable, so even though she’s only 25 years old, she’s running a startup with a corporate value of 10 trillion.”

Sejun chuckled to himself, feeling a little smug. ‘Poor Kyungchul, a chaebol’s son-in-law, probably has no freedom at all.’ He didn’t even realize that he himself was in a very similar situation, maybe even more controlled by powerful people than Kyungchul!

Without knowing that it was like the pot calling the kettle black, Sejun was excited at the thought of teasing Kyungchul and hurried towards the exclusive passage.

Time was tight to go home, eat, and stop by the department store to buy clothes.

Sejun arrived at the exclusive passage and put his hand on the black hole.

[There are currently three places you can go.]

[Please select a destination.]

>Earth (Lv. 1)>

>Hamke (Lv. 7)>

>Bix (Lv. 8)>

“Earth,” Sejun chose.

[There are currently eighteen people trying to use the exclusive passage.]

[Would you like to pay the stay fee for eighteen people and move from the Black Tower 0th floor >Earth>?]

“Yes,” Sejun confirmed.

He began calculating the stay fee for Sejun and his party.

The stay fee for Theo alone was an astronomical amount of Tower Coins – more money than most people could imagine in a lifetime.

The stay fees were incredibly expensive.

Finally, the calculation of Sejun’s stay fee was completed. Sejun had also become much stronger, but he was the cheapest among the group.

That’s how much time Sejun and his party could stay on Earth.

[We will move to Earth.]

Sejun and his party moved to Earth.
