Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 679

679. I’ve been tricked… The great Blackie was played by the butler…

>Gronndra>

*Crack. Snap.* Sejun’s bones twisted and moved into new shapes as he changed.

Koohehehe.

Kkuengie helped pay for Dad’s healing! That made him even stronger! Now Kkuengie can handle a finger!

Kkuengie watched Sejun with a proud expression.

Of course, the finger Kkuengie was talking about was the weakest little finger.

Kk হিhit. Kking!

[Hehe. The way the butler is moving is funny, like Bbuppal! Bbuppal, remember to show it to the butler later!]

Bbuu!

[Yes!]

Next to Kkuengie, Blackie was excited at the thought of teasing Sejun.

Bbuung? Bbuu?

[Is it like this? Like this?]

The Black Bbuppal wriggled, carefully copying Sejun’s movements.

“Blackie and Bbuppal shouldn’t do that, nyaang! Chairman Park is sensitive, so if you tease him, he won’t give you dried sweet potato, nyaang!”

Theo warned Blackie and the Black Bbuppal.

Puhuhut. Our Chairman Park is a sensitive man who gets sulky when teased, nyaang!

No. It was a boast. Everything about Sejun was a source of pride for Theo.

While the group watched over Sejun, the change continued for several hours.

A bad smell began to spread as waste was released from Sejun’s body.

The group quickly put on gas masks.

“Puhuhut. It seems like the bad smell from Chairman Park’s body is almost over, nyaang!”

“Kkyu- That’s a relief.”

Kkueng! Kkueng!

[That’s a relief! But Dad’s smell is really strong!]

Kk হিhit. Kking!

[Hehe. Kkabul-to is the fart boss, and the butler is the poop fart boss!]

They looked at Sejun and talked.

A moment later.

“Hmm.”

Sejun woke up, the change complete.

“Why are you all…”

He looked at his friends wearing gas masks, confused.

“Ugh! What is this smell?!”

He quickly covered his nose and mouth, not realizing the awful smell was coming from him.

Ugh!

The stench made Sejun feel sick.

“Maintain cleanliness! Maintain cleanliness!”

Sejun finally understood the bad smell was coming from him. He quickly used his skill to get rid of the smell.

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, do it for us too, nyaang! Our fur also smells like Chairman Park’s, nyaang!”

“Alright.”

Sejun used his skill hundreds of times on himself and his friends.

Sniff sniff.

“I don’t think it smells anymore? Guys, smell it for me.”

Sejun asked his friends to check because he had gotten used to the smell.

“Hehehe.”

Sejun smiled slyly, holding out his right hand.

I can’t be the only one smelling it.

Sejun hadn’t used his skill on that hand.

Sejun was being playful. He hadn’t washed his right hand on purpose, wanting his friends to smell it.

However.

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, we won’t fall for such tricks, nyaang!”

“Kkyut kkyut kkyut. I’ve been watching why Sejun hasn’t washed that hand.”

Koohehehe. Kkueng!

[Hehehe. Kkuengie won’t be fooled by Dad’s prank!]

The group saw what Sejun was doing and didn’t take off their gas masks.

“Tch. Maintain cleanliness.”

Sejun washed his right hand, disappointed.

In the meantime.

‘Why is Blackie so quiet?’

He should have been making a fuss about trying to trick him, right?

Or bragging about not being fooled.

Sejun looked at Blackie, feeling doubtful.

Kking… Kking…

[I’ve been tricked… The great Blackie was played by the butler…]

Blackie was holding his nose, shocked. He had taken off his gas mask before Sejun washed his hands.

Hehehe. It’s fun to play pranks because Blackie is so easy to fool.

Sejun hugged Blackie, who had fallen for his prank again, and put him in his sling bag.

“But guys, what happened? How did I pass out and even smell like that? And why does my body feel so light?”

He asked what had happened.

“Puhuhut. Secretary Theo…”

Theo explained everything to Sejun.

“Really?! I changed again?!”

Is this the third time?

Or the fourth time, if you count changing the bones to dragon bones?

Sejun counted the number of times he had changed.

This isn’t the time to be counting things like this.

“No wonder my body feels so light. Guys, thank you!”

He thanked his friends sincerely.

Theo, who always helps him.

Iona, who follows Theo and suffers.

His son Kkuengie, who only knows his dad.

The Blackie family, who are easy to trick, used to want to destroy things, but now they are with him.

Everyone had sacrificed a lot for him.

It was too much.

“What am I…”

Sejun spoke without thinking.

“Puhuhut. If you ask who Chairman Park is, we should answer for you, nyaang! Everyone, tell me who Chairman Park is, nyaang!”

“Kkyut kkyut kkyut. He’s the president of Sejun Company!”

Koohehehe. Kkueng!

[Hehehe. He’s Kkuengie’s dad!]

Kk হিhit. Kking!

[Hehe. He’s the great Blackie’s butler!]

The group answered Sejun’s question. Who Sejun was.

It wasn’t a great answer, but it impressed Sejun more than any other answer.

“Puhuhut. Also, Chairman Park is the man who swallowed 10 trillion top coins, nyaang!”

Theo added.

“Huh?!”

I swallowed 10 trillion top coins? What does that mean?

“Puhuhut. Secretary Theo burned all of Chairman Park’s money to heal Chairman Park’s body, nyaang!”

You burned all that into my body?!

Plop.

Sejun slumped down at Theo’s answer. His shock was immense. He felt the weight of the loss, the dreams of what that money could have bought, all gone in an instant.

“Puhuhut.”

Lick. Lick.

Theo climbed onto Sejun’s lap and began grooming Iona, who was hanging on his body and tail.

Koohehehe.

Kkuengie also hung on Sejun’s side and closed his eyes.

Kk হিhit.

Guys, it’s a chance!

Blackie and his helpers were secretly trying to steal the dried sweet potatoes from Sejun’s pocket.

And.

Blank.

‘With that money, I could have bought the Earth and still had money left over…’

Sejun couldn’t think straight, still shocked by the loss of 10 trillion top coins.

A moment later.

I spent so much money, something must have changed, right?

Sejun checked his status window, hoping for the best. He was sure his stats would have increased because his body felt light and full of energy.

However.

What?! Why didn’t it increase at all?!

The stats hadn’t changed. Sejun was wrong because his body was working better after the change.

But one thing had changed.

[Talent: Diligent Prodigy]

A great talent that allows you to overcome limitations to some extent through effort.

All basic stat potentials increase to 1000.

Receive 10 bonus stats each time you level up.

When effort for something exceeds a certain level, growth such as stat increase, skill acquisition, and talent blooming occurs.

Talent: The extraordinary mediocrity had evolved into a diligent prodigy.

A small result for so much money.

Theo had used healing magic to heal and strengthen Sejun’s body, including his bones, muscles, and heart, but his basic body shape was still the same.

No matter how much money he spent, his basic body shape couldn’t be changed. It was like trying to rebuild a house without changing its foundations.

The best he could do was to get rid of waste through changes whenever his body got worse, like now.

And.

“I have a feeling Chairman Park’s face is rotting, nyaang!”

Sejun’s body was already getting worse. Luckily, it was happening much slower than before.

This was because the basic potential had increased from 100 to 1000 as the talent evolved.

He had been handling the huge stats with a basic potential of 100 until now, but now he was handling them with 1000, so it was ten times easier. It was like the rubber band becoming more flexible.

Just a change in talent…

Sejun was disappointed.

I need to earn more!

He knew he was spending too much money and decided to earn money even faster in the future.

“Guys, let’s go back to the Black Kkuengie Ho.”

Sejun decided to go back to the ship, make the pirates who were being watched by the planet-destroying turtles official employees of Sejun Company.

“I’ll give you a mission.”

He told the pirates to plan a new job: trading with other worlds and protecting this world, instead of being pirates.

And.

“Iona, let’s go home now.”

“Kkyut kkyut kkyut. Yes!”

He returned to the Black Tower with Iona’s magic.

>Gronndra>

Litna Merchant Guild Branch.

“Here’s my resignation.”

When Hett gave his resignation.

“Hett, you’re leaving our guild?! Do you have a lot of money? Or do you not need your legs?”

Bank, Hett’s boss, looked at Hett’s legs coldly.

Thud.

Hett felt the threat and stepped back to protect his legs.

And.

I only trust Bukbuk No. 23!

He grabbed Bukbuk No. 23, which was hanging on his chest, and found his courage.

“No. I have no money and I need my legs.”

“What?! Are you serious! You’re leaving the guild without giving anything up?!”

“Yes. Bukbuk No. 23, please.”

Hett held up Bukbuk No. 23 respectfully.

Zzzzzing!

Bukbuk No. 23 destroyed Bank’s head and the building above it with a beam of destruction. The force was so strong, it shook the entire branch, sending debris flying and alarms blaring.

Bank’s crown was also destroyed.

“Can I go now?”

Hett asked calmly.

Bank stammered, “Y-yes! You are… you are no longer part of the Guild!” His face was pale with fear.

However.

Bukbuk!

[You become Kkuengie’s subordinate!]

Bukbuk No. 23 didn’t let Bank go.

“Yes…”

The answer was yes, of course. Everything was yes in front of the destruction beam. Bank also betrayed the Litna Merchant Guild and joined Sejun Company.

Following Sejun Company’s tradition, Hett, who joined first, became Bank’s boss. Hett felt a surge of satisfaction, while Bank felt a mix of fear and regret.

“Bank will be the newest member of the Gacha Business Department from now on.”

Hett was no longer the newest member of the Gacha Business Department.

***

[You have arrived on the 99th floor of the Black Tower.]

“Eileen, I’m home.”

Sejun told Eileen he was back as soon as he got home.

[The tower’s administrator asks if you are okay, worried.]

“Yeah. I’m fine. No. I’m even better.”

Sejun answered brightly to ease Eileen’s worries.

And.

“Eileen, what do you want for dinner?”

He asked Eileen what she wanted to eat.

Sejun wanted to thank everyone who had worried about him with a good meal.

[The tower’s administrator says she wants the 10-story pancake you made, not the 100-story one.]

Eileen lowered the number of floors from 100 to 10, worried about Sejun, who had just recovered.

“Hehehe. Alright. 10-story pancake, got it!”

Sejun was touched by Eileen’s kindness and took the order.

“Dragon Lords, I’m here. Do you want any snacks?”

He also visited the Nine Dragons Association dragons and asked.

And.

“What do you guys want to eat?”

He took the orders from his friends and asked Sejun No. 12 to help him and started cooking. Today was the day to do that.

A moment later.

“Eileen, here.”

“Here are the snacks.”

Sejun finished cooking and was giving the food to the dragons.

[Your effort for cooking has reached a certain level.]

[The part you worked hard on has grown due to Talent: Diligent Prodigy.]

[Skill: Cooking (Master) has grown into Delicious Cooking (Master).]

[You are now able to create flavors that transcend the limitations of ingredients with cooking.]

Sejun’s cooking skill changed, after a long time.

And.

[Congratulations, Gourmet Guardian Park Sejun!]

The star [Delicious] twinkled in the night sky, celebrating Sejun’s growth.

“Hehehe.”

I wasn’t just lazing around all this time.

Sejun’s face was glowing with the starlight of [Delicious].

“Chairman Park’s face is rotting, nyaang!”

Press. Press. Press.

Theo was able to find and heal Sejun’s subtle rotting, which he would have missed otherwise, nyaang!
