Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 191

Sejun stared at the list:
*[Black Tower 98th Floor Wasteland Land Document]*
*[Black Tower 85th Floor Wasteland Land Document]*
*[Black Tower 57th Floor Rocky Mountain Land Document]*
*[Black Tower 44th Floor Lake Land Document]*

All of them were land documents from the Black Tower. Four in total! Sejun was amazed. *Four* Black Tower land documents! He shook his head, smiling. Theo was truly incredible. How did his cat companion manage to find so many?

Just then,

Flap. Flap.

“I will deliver the land document to the Black Rabbit,” Kellion announced, flying over.

“Huh? It’s alright.”

Sejun knew the land document could be delivered to the Black Rabbit easily. He just needed to put it in the Red Ribbon Kingdom’s treasure vault. He thought the Black Rabbit might feel uncomfortable if Kellion or Ajax visited. So, Sejun declined Kellion’s offer.

However,

“Ahem! I said I would go!” Kellion really wanted to go. He wanted to do Sejun a favor and get Soju as a reward.

“Then, please do. But please don’t scare the Black Rabbit.”

Sejun handed Kellion the land document from the 57th floor of the tower so he could quickly go to Ppyu-Ppyu, who was waiting for the Black Rabbit.

“Don’t you worry! I’ll deliver it very quickly and quietly,” Kellion replied and swallowed the land document in one go.

One minute later,

“Delivered.”

Along with Kellion’s words,

“The Black Rabbit received the land document, meow!”

Kkuaeng!

[The land document suddenly fell from the sky!]

Theo and Kkuaeng, who were watching the Black Rabbit through the bronze mirror next to Sejun, told him that the Black Rabbit had received the land document.

“Thank you.”

“Then…”

“Here. Thank you so much.”

Sejun, having confirmed that the Black Rabbit opened the land document and moved it to another location through the mirror, handed Kellion 10 bottles of Soju as a thank you.

“Why are you doing this… Ehehehe! If you need anything else, feel free to ask anytime.”

Flap. Flap.

Kellion took the Soju and flew away.

“Really?”

“Of course. If it weren’t for me, Sejun would have been dragged to the Green Tower.”

“Thank you, Grandpa. I’m so grateful to have you.”

Kaiser threw back his head and roared with laughter, a sound that shook the room as he replied to Eileen, who thanked him. Helping Sejun meant he would get Soju and spend time with Eileen. It was a great deal for him.

While they were talking,

“Oh?! Sejun asked me to check something! Kehehehe. Wait a little bit, Sejun. Checking.”

Eileen, having received the land document from Sejun, began the checking. Thus, the first land document was checked.

“Oh?! This is a land document from the Blue Tower?” The land document that Theo found in the haunted warehouse was from the Blue Tower.

“Checking.”

Eileen then checked the land document that Theo had last bid on at the auction house.

“Oh?! This is a Green Tower land document.”

“What?! Green Tower?!”

As Kaiser was startled by the mention of the Green Tower,

Whoosh.

The Green Tower’s land document unfolded, trying to move Eileen to the Green Tower. Brachio had put magic on the land document. This magic made it open up whenever someone used checking magic.

“Eek!” Eileen hurriedly tried to undo the magic, but it was too complex for the young Eileen to undo.

Just then,

“It’s alright. Eileen, you are a tower administrator, so the tower will protect you.”

Kaiser, who had been briefly flustered, regained his composure and spoke calmly.

[The Tower Administrator cannot leave the Black Tower.]

[Forced moving through space canceled.]

As Kaiser said, an alarm appeared on the crystal ball, and the land document was forcibly rolled back up.

“I’ll keep this for now.”

Kaiser took the Green Tower land document.

Kaiser’s face turned red. His fists clenched. “Grrr! Kidnap our granddaughter?! They’ll pay for this!”

[The Tower Administrator says the checking is finished.]

“Eileen, thank you. Huh? But there’s only one land document?” Sejun asked, looking at the single document in his hand. He frowned slightly.

[The Tower Administrator says that one is a Green Tower land document and is dangerous, so her grandfather decided to keep it.] Eileen’s voice came from the crystal ball.

“Green Tower again?” Sejun rubbed his chin, thinking.

[The Tower Administrator says that she almost got moved to the Green Tower just now.] Eileen added, her voice a little shaky.

“Eileen too?!” Sejun exclaimed, his eyes widening in surprise and worry. “This is infuriating!”

[The Tower Administrator tells you to be careful with land documents from now on.]

“Okay. I understand.”

Sejun decided he needed to be careful with land documents in the future. He also thought about what he could do about the Green Tower.

After finishing his conversation with Eileen,

“Theo, Vice President, which one here is the most interesting?” Sejun asked Theo to decide which of the three remaining Black Tower land documents to go to first.

However,

“Phoo-hoo-hoo. Phoo-hoo-hoo.”

Theo kept laughing, as if something was very pleasing.

“Are you that happy?”

“Phoo-hoo-hoo. Of course, meow! I am now the official Theo, Vice President, meow!”

Sejun decided to make Theo, who had been a big help by bringing six land documents, the official Theo, Vice President, not just temporary. That was why Theo’s laughter did not stop.

“Phoo-hoo-hoo. Now I, Theo Park, have become the true second-in-command, meow!”

Bbat-ching!

Theo put his left forepaw on his waist, extended his right forepaw forward, and made a V shape with his claws.

“Yes, yes. So, which one is the most interesting?” Sejun stroked Theo’s head and asked again.

“Hmm-nyang! That’s strange, meow!” At Sejun’s question, Theo put his forepaw on his chin and thought.

“What’s strange?”

“Clearly, the 44th floor of the tower was the most interesting last time… but now the 85th floor of the tower is the most interesting, meow!”

“Is that so?”

At Theo’s words, Sejun also started thinking. What could it be? In this case, one of two things has happened. Either what was attracting Theo’s forepaw on the 44th floor of the tower has disappeared, or something new has appeared on the 85th floor of the tower that is attracting Theo’s forepaw.

“Let’s go to the 85th floor of the tower first.”

“Then let’s call Elka, meow! Elka is from the 85th floor of the tower, meow!”

“That’s right! Then I should go to Elka first and tell her to check out the farm.”

Sejun remembered at Theo’s words. Sejun sent one of the white rabbits to Elka to give her new instructions.

“Alright. Let’s get to work.”

As the urgent matter disappeared by bringing the Black Rabbit back to the Black Tower, Sejun prepared to start planting seeds again to complete the job quest.

As Sejun put on his straw hat and picked up Miller’s hoe,

“I understand, meow! I will also help Chairman Park, meow!”

“Really? If you help me…”

Plop.

“What are you doing?”

Sejun looked down at Theo, confused. Theo was clinging to his knees, as if trying to climb him. “What are you doing?” Sejun asked again.

Theo grinned. “Heh heh heh! I am helping you, meow! This is cat-style helping!” Theo said proudly, still clinging tightly.

Kkyuing!

[Kkyuingie is helping Daddy too!]

Like Theo, Kkyuingie also clung to Sejun’s knees, saying he was helping. Sejun thought that if they were going to do this, they shouldn’t have announced it.

“Heave-ho! Heave-ho!”

“Heave-ho, meow! Heave-ho, meow!”

Kkyuing!

With Theo and Kkyuingie “helping,” Sejun moved his tired legs, planting seeds in the field while they all chanted together.

“Moving the earth.”

[You have planted 500 Stamina Corn seeds in the enchanted land.]

[Due to the effect of Mana Seed Sowing Lv. 6, the probability of Stamina Corn seeds taking root has increased.]

[Due to the effect of Mana Seed Sowing Lv. 6, the growth rate of Stamina Corn seeds will be accelerated for 24 hours.]

[7,214,089 more times remaining until the job quest is complete.]

The seeds planted today were Stamina Corn.

“Hoo. Still a long way to go.”

Sejun sighed, looking at the number in the message. What kind of amazing combat skill would he get after suffering so much?

“Are they going to give me something really strong?”

Sejun imagined himself becoming stronger and continued to plant seeds.

After planting corn for about an hour,

[The Stamina Corn appreciates the farmer’s footsteps and lends its strength.]

[The potential of the Stamina stat increases from 103 to 104.]

A message appeared, saying that his Stamina had increased.

“Heh heh heh. It’s rewarding.”

While Sejun was happy about the increase,

[The size of the owned farm has exceeded 3 million square feet.]

[Talent: A wealthy farmer grows into a millionaire farmer.]

A new message appeared, stating that his talent had grown as his farm expanded to over 3 million square feet.

“Oh! Millionaire Farmer!”

Sejun cheered. He had never owned any land outside the tower, and now he was a landowner with 3 million square feet. “Parents, be happy!” he thought. “A millionaire farmer has emerged from our family!”

Sejun was in a good mood.

“What has changed, I wonder?”

Sejun examined his new talent: Millionaire Farmer.

[Talent: Millionaire Farmer]

-An acquired talent that only farmers with more than 3 million square feet of farmland can possess.

-You can designate 3 stewards to manage the farm on behalf of the millionaire farmer. (Each steward can designate 100 tenant farmers and 3 watchmen of their own.)

-You can designate up to 15 watchmen to protect the farm. (The millionaire farmer receives 50% of the experience points from enemies defeated by the watchmen within a 5km radius.)

-You can designate up to 3000 tenant farmers.

-Tenant farmers can use the millionaire farmer’s farming skills. (When a tenant farmer uses the millionaire farmer’s skill, the millionaire farmer receives a 7% skill proficiency reward.)

-The talent grows as the size of the farm increases.

“Oh!”

Sejun exclaimed, looking at the new details. The number of stewards, watchmen, and tenant farmers that he could appoint had increased. The number of tenant farmers, in particular, was huge.

Considering that the skill proficiency reward for tenant farmers had changed from 5% to 7%, it seemed like he would be able to gain a lot of skill proficiency in the future.

“Heh heh heh.”

He had been feeling down lately, but he felt good that his talent had grown. He couldn’t let a day like this pass without celebration.

“Today is a party!”

“A party, meow?! We need a new Churu for the party, meow!”

Kkyuing!

[We need a lot of honey for the party!]

Theo and Kkyuingie each said what they wanted in response to Sejun’s words.

Just then,

Thud!

A huge vibration came from the cave.

“Huh? Could it be?! Guys, let’s go!”

Sejun worried that the Apostle of Destruction might have invaded through the pond. He quickly put Theo and Kkyuingie on his legs and ran to the cave.

“Hoo.”

Sejun was relieved to see Fire was fine when he arrived at the cave.

[Giant Deep-Sea Crayfish]

In the cave, there was a giant crayfish from the deep sea. It was pressed against the wall, looking around as if it was lost. It seemed wary because it was in an unfamiliar place.

“How dare you come here!”

“Meow?”

Kkyuing?

Sejun took Theo and Kkyuingie off his legs and ran towards the crayfish. His legs felt light, like he could fly.

“Take this!”

Sejun stretched out his fist towards the crayfish’s head. His Strength and Stamina stats had almost reached 99. He felt strong, like a powerful warrior. He thought he could easily defeat the crayfish…

Thwack!

“Ugh!”

[The body has suffered a critical injury from a powerful attack.]

[Authority: Unbreakable Body is activated.]

[Consumes mana to protect the body from breaking.]

Huh? Was he wrong?

While Sejun was panicking, the crayfish hit him with its giant pincers.

Crash!

Rumble.

Sejun’s body crashed into the cave wall and was buried under a pile of stones.

“Chairman Park, are you okay, meow?!”

Kkyuing?

[Daddy, are you okay?]

Theo and Kkyuingie pulled Sejun out of the pile of stones and asked if he was okay.

“Yeah. I’m okay.”

Fortunately, Sejun’s body had become strong, so he wasn’t hurt. Sejun quickly prepared for the crayfish’s attack.

But then,

[You have defeated the Giant Deep-Sea Crayfish.]

[You cannot acquire experience points because you have not completed the job quest.]

“Huh? It’s dead?”

The crayfish had died.

While Sejun was panicking and looking at the message,

[Master, you are amazing! I saw the crayfish staggering and collapsing from Master’s attack!]

Fire praised Sejun.

“Heh heh heh. Really?”

Sejun looked at his fist and smiled. “I guess I am a bit strong after all,” he thought.

As Kkyuingie was moving the giant crayfish that Sejun had caught outside the cave,

Clink.

Two green coins and three gray coins fell from the giant deep-sea crayfish’s pincers.

“Huh? Why does it have coins?”

Sejun picked up the coins and hurried to the kitchen. It would take a long time to grill the giant crayfish properly.

Fire was left alone.

[Hoo. That was dangerous.]

The crayfish had deliberately let Sejun win, but it used its last strength to strike Sejun… Fire was surprised by this unexpected situation.
