Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 144

How Much for One Gacha?

It was a child’s duty to stop their parents from going down the wrong path. With a firm resolve, Kuaeng retrieved his club.

“Daddy, I’m sorry! You need to get hit to come to your senses!”

Sejun hastily confessed at the sight of Kuaeng approaching with a club and a determined expression.

Sejun told himself he was being a good parent, teaching Kuaeng right from wrong. It was just bad luck that Kuaeng was so quick to punish ‘bad’ behavior.

“Kuaeng!”

“[Phew! That’s a relief!]

Having prevented his father from becoming a bad guy, Kuaeng sighed in relief and slung the club back over his shoulder.

Just then, Kuaeng’s stomach grumbled, signaling him to fill it with food.

“You’re hungry, aren’t you? Let’s eat quickly.” Sejun quickly started preparing a meal. Thankfully, he hadn’t been caught eating the superior elixir.

***

“Alright! Get in line!” The wizards began to control the monsters that had arrived on the 99th floor of the tower. They were laborers selected for the construction of a new magic tower.

Just then, among the laborers, a creature with an alligator head was diligently examining the surroundings. It was Leken, who had disappeared from the 75th floor of the tower. Through several days of investigation, Leken had discovered that Theo’s final destination was always the 99th floor of the tower.

‘Miler’s hoe, the legendary tool, is definitely there!’

So, while pondering how to enter the 99th floor of the tower without raising suspicion, he saw an advertisement from the Gravity Magic Tower seeking construction workers. He joined the laborers and entered the 99th floor of the tower.

As Leken followed the wizards, he arrived near Sejun’s farm.

“Take a short break here and then move again! Do not leave your spots!” The wizards gave the laborers a break and hurried towards Sejun’s farm. More precisely, towards the crop storage.

“Pyaa!” The rabbit guarding the storage welcomed the wizards.

And then, the wizards began ordering snacks from the rabbit guarding the storage. Buying snacks here had become a great pleasure for the wizards these days.

“Rabbit, give me two bottles of cherry tomatoes and three bottles of sweet potato jerky.”

“I’ll take three bottles of cherry tomatoes and thirty carrots.”

The older wizards knew it was hard to only eat green potions. Moreover, the magic cherry tomatoes temporarily boosted magic power and helped wizards develop a sense for handling magic power, making them an essential snack for wizards visiting Sejun’s farm.

While the wizards were buying snacks, Leken, who had come to find Miler’s hoe, moved cautiously.

‘Where could it be?’ Leken crouched down and carefully looked around Sejun’s farm.

Just then, Leken easily found Miler’s hoe. It was simply stuck in the ground next to the field.

‘Is that really Miler’s hoe?’ Miler’s hoe was being managed so carelessly that he wondered if what he was seeing was fake. Anyone who didn’t know would have thought it was just a common farming tool on the side of the road.

However, as soon as Leken held the hoe in his hand, the power of the earth reacting to his strength told him that this hoe was indeed the legend that moves the earth, Miler’s hoe, that he was looking for.

‘Don’t these guys know how amazing this equipment is?’ The wizards knew the hoe was special. But Sejun? He just thought of it as a tool he used in the garden, nothing more.

‘Whatever.’ Having obtained Miler’s hoe, Leken hurried towards the entrance of the 99th floor of the tower.

The Poison Honeybees were annoying along the way, but they couldn’t pierce Leken’s thick hide, so Leken simply ignored them and ran. And when he was almost at the entrance of the 99th floor of the tower,

“Kuaeng!”

“[That’s my Daddy’s!]” Kuaeng shouted as he ran from afar.

***

30 minutes ago, Sejun felt sorry for eating the superior elixir alone, so he prepared a lot of food that Kuaeng and the Golden Bat liked.

He made honey-filled honey rice cakes and sweet potato soup, and took out bananas, watermelons, and mangoes, which were not plentiful, from the subspace warehouse.

“Kuaeng!”

“[Delicious! Golden Bat, you eat a lot too!]”

“(Bat bat. Yes, Kuaeng, you eat a lot too!)”

Kuaeng and the Golden Bat enjoyed a luxurious breakfast from the morning.

After the hearty breakfast was over, Sejun left Kuaeng and the Golden Bat to play and went to the brewery.

“Then I’ll be making makgeolli. You two play.”

The amount of makgeolli to be supplied to the two dragons was not small, so Sejun had the architect rabbit build a brewery and was making makgeolli.

After Sejun left,

“Kuaeng!”

“[I’m full now!]”

“(Bat bat. Me too!)”

Kuaeng and the Golden Bat smiled as they looked at each other’s bulging bellies.

Suddenly, the seventh Poison Honeybee Queen flew in quickly.

“Kuaeng?!”

“[What’s going on?]”

“[Kuaeng, it’s a disaster! There’s an intruder!]”

“Kuaeng?”

“[Another Poison Honeybee came?]”

Kuaeng and the seventh Poison Honeybee Queen were connected by a sticky honey connection, and sometimes when Poison Honeybees from the east appeared, Kuaeng would chase them away and receive more special honey as a reward.

“[No! An intruder stole Sejun’s hoe and is running away!]”

“Kuaeng?”

Kuaeng thought he had misheard. Steal Daddy’s thing? Impossible! But,

“(Bat bat. Sejun’s hoe is legendary equipment, isn’t it?)”

“[Yes! That’s right! We have to catch him before he leaves the 99th floor of the tower!]”

The conversation between the Golden Bat and the seventh Poison Honeybee Queen told him that he had not misheard.

“Kuaeng! Kuaeng?!”

“[What bad guy dared to steal Kuaeng’s Daddy’s thing! Where is the bad guy?!]”

“[That way!]”

“(Kuaeng, let’s go together!)”

Kuaeng and the Golden Bat followed the seventh queen for about 20 minutes and saw a creature with an alligator head running away with Sejun’s hoe in the distance.

***

Kuaeng ran quickly and spread his arms wide to block Leken’s path, and the Golden Bat surrounded him from behind.

“Kuaeng! Kuaeng!”

“[Put down that hoe right now! That’s Kuaeng’s Daddy’s!]”

“(That’s right! That’s Sejun’s!)”

“Heh heh heh! Little brat! Get out of my way if you don’t want to get hurt!”

“Kuaeng! Kuaeng!”

“[My name is not little brat, it’s Kuaeng! And taking other people’s things is bad!]”

Kuaeng took out the club he was carrying on his back.

“Earth Manipulation!”

Leken, who wanted to test Miler’s hoe anyway, swung the hoe strongly at the ground. The ground began to shake violently. It was on a different level from Sejun’s hoeing.

Giant hands made of stone, 5m in size, sprang from the ground. Dozens of such giant stone hands surrounded Kuaeng, the Golden Bat, and the seventh Poison Honeybee Queen.

“[Kuaeng! What do we do?!]” The seventh Poison Honeybee, who had guided Kuaeng, spoke in a frightened voice as she looked at the giant stone hands.

“Kuaeng!”

“[Golden Bat, protect the seventh!]”

“(What about you, Kuaeng?)”

The Golden Bat looked at Kuaeng and asked in a worried voice. What if he caused an accident? That was what he meant.

“Kuaeng!”

“[Daddy said it’s okay to hit bad guys!]” Kuaeng was openly trying to use his strength. Kuaeng stepped forward bravely.

“Heh heh heh. How brave. You must not know how scary the world is yet. Try to take this!” Leken, excited by the spectacle he had created, moved the stone hands to make them clench their fists and attack Kuaeng.

The stone fists attacked Kuaeng at a rapid speed, making a wind sound. But, Kuaeng put magic power into his club and swung it.

The enlarged club shattered five stone fists at once. And then,

“Kuaeng!”

“[I’ll punish the bad guy!]” Kuaeng broke the stone fists blocking his path with his club and ran towards Leken.

“Eek! Earth Manipulation!” Leken, panicked by Kuaeng running towards him, manipulated the earth again.

This time, the stone hands spread their hands and began to press down on Kuaeng. Kuaeng stretched out his hands and endured the pressing force.

“Earth Manipulation!” Leken continued to summon stone hands and covered Kuaeng. Leken was pleased with the small stone mountain he had created, which was 20m high.

The stone hands split apart. And then, the enlarged Kuaeng appeared, breaking the stone mountain.

“H-how?! Eek! Earth Manipulation!” Leken made a final struggle as a giant bear, 5m larger than the stone mountain, appeared. He felt that if he was pushed back here, it would be the end.

With a vibration that could not be compared to anything before, a giant hand, 10 times larger than the enlarged Kuaeng, appeared. Kuaeng, overwhelmed by the huge stone hand, felt scared.

At that moment, a pink energy wave in the shape of a bear’s paw collided with the stone hand from afar with enormous magic power. It was Pink Bear’s attack.

There was no sound. And the stone hand disappeared as well.

“Kuaeng!”

“[It’s Mommy!]” Kuaeng, emboldened by his mother’s appearance, ran towards Leken again. But Leken had disappeared after the previous attack. He had not run away, but had vanished along with the stone hand.

Only Sejun’s hoe, which had withstood Pink Bear’s attack, was left lying on the floor.

“Kuaeng! Kuaeng!”

“[I cleaned up the bad guy! I found Daddy’s hoe!]” Kuaeng, having achieved his goal, returned home with a proud expression.

“Huh?! What’s going on?” Sejun, who was making makgeolli, went outside because the sky suddenly darkened, but he was bewildered as he looked at the sky that had brightened again.

***

“From now on, you guys will be building a farm on the 41st floor, nyan!”

“Theo, are you talking about a farm for growing crops?!” Urchi was confused by Theo’s sudden order to build a farm. They were a battle race that knew nothing but fighting, so farming?

“Don’t you want to be a subordinate of the great Black Dragon, nyan?!”

“Ah… No, I do!”

“Farming is essential to become a subordinate of the great Black Dragon, Chairman Park, nyan! I went through this process too, nyan!” Theo said in a firm voice. He only helped with farming when Sejun ordered him to or praised him, but he spoke as if he had farmed incredibly hard.

“I understand! Then I will build a farm on the 41st floor!” Urchi, who firmly believed Theo’s words, began to build a farm on the 41st floor.

However, among the millions of Black Oaks, there was no one who knew about farming. They had always only plundered or hunted, and had never grown anything.

“The great sage and shaman, Loken, will take the lead in building the farm.”

“Yes! Farming is about planting in the ground and growing it. Leave it to me!” The construction of the farm began under the leadership of Loken, who had learned farming from books. However, Loken also knew nothing about farming.

“Plant the young Black Oaks in the ground!” Loken thought that if he planted them in the ground and gave them food, they would grow. Thus, the seeds that Theo had scattered began to take root in a strange direction.

And then, Theo, unaware of what he had done, went down to the 40th floor of the tower to meet Han Tae-jun.

“Nyan nyan nyan!”
