Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 202

“Nyanyang! Nyanyang!”

Kkueeeeeng!

When Theo and Kkueng’s skills, the Nyanyang Storm Fist and Kkuenghu, combined, the invisible magic blades of the Nyanyang Storm Fist mixed with Kkuenghu’s whirlwind, completely crushing everything within range.

As a result, the Hydra, struck by their combined technique, vanished without a trace, unable to utter a single word.

However,

Kwagwang!

The power was far greater than Sejun had anticipated. Not only the Hydra but also the space behind it was pierced through in a perfect circle. Several mountains disappeared entirely, and the terrain of the tower was transformed.

“Shouldn’t have used it…”

Seeing the seemingly endless path that had been created, Sejun realised that there was no need to use the combined technique. It was all because of that Hydra that he used the combined technique.

Maybe it was *mostly* my fault?

[Guardian Theo and Herbalist Kkueng have defeated the 1st and 6th heads of the nine-headed snake, Hydra, a dangerous monster called an Apostle of Destruction who infiltrated the Black Tower.]

[Guardian Theo has acquired 17.5 million experience points, 50% of the experience gained.]

[Herbalist Kkueng has acquired 17.5 million experience points, 50% of the experience gained.]

[Guardian Theo and Herbalist Kkueng have defeated Black Crow.]

Following that, messages about getting experience kept popping up, indicating that Hydra and other monsters in the path of the combined attack had also been defeated.

Since Theo and Kkueng defeated them together, the experience was split in half, but the experience Sejun gained was the same.

And then,

[You have leveled up.]

[You have acquired 1 bonus stat.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have acquired 1 bonus stat.]

Sejun leveled up twice, reaching level 63.

“I need to get the coins quickly.”

He couldn’t let his guard down; another Apostle of Destruction might appear and swallow the coins. Sejun hurried to where the Hydra had died, and there, seven bronze coins lay scattered.

“That’s a lot.”

Sejun picked up the coins and examined them.

[Hydra’s 1st Bronze Coin]

???

[Hydra’s 6th Bronze Coin]

???

There were two types of coins: five of Hydra’s 1st Bronze Coin and two of Hydra’s 6th Bronze Coin.

“I bet the black coin is from the first head.”

Sejun thought that the Apostle of Destruction who dropped more bronze coins would be larger and stronger.

“Now, I need to complete the quest.”

After collecting the coins, Sejun decided to return to the Ice Island to complete the land document quest.

“I need to take care of the kids.”

Before going to the Ice Island, Sejun approached Theo and Kkueng to take them along.

“It’s the Nyangnyangkku Storm Fist, nya!”

Kkueng! Kkueng!

[No! Kkuenghu is better!]

Theo and Kkueng were arguing over the name of their newly created combined technique.

Just then,

“Then let’s ask Chairman Park which name is better, Nyangnyangkku Storm Fist or Kkuenghu, nya!”

Theo said, seeing Sejun approaching.

Kkueng!

[Good! Let’s ask Dad to decide the new technique name!]

Kkueng also agreed.

‘Puhu! Chairman Park is on my side, nya!’

‘Hehehe. Dad is on Kkueng’s side!’

Both had different intentions.

However,

“Hmm… How about Tekkubak Drill Storm?”

Sejun suggested a new name in response to their request to choose between the two names. Sejun subtly inserted his own name.

“Did you put Chairman Park’s name in the technique name, nya?!”

Kkueng?!

[Did you put Dad’s name in it too?!]

The two creatures were shocked by Sejun’s suggestion.

“Ah… if you don’t like it…”

Sejun, thinking he was being too greedy, quickly tried to take back his words, but

“As expected of Chairman Park, nya! Amazing, nya!”

Kkueng! Kkueng!

[As expected, Dad is awesome! I like it!]

Fortunately, both were very happy that Sejun’s name was included. Of course, they liked Sejun very much.

With the strange combined technique name Tekkubak Drill Storm decided, Sejun equipped them on his knees and headed to Ice Island.

“Ice Cube.”

The ice Sejun had made earlier had melted, so Sejun made new ice and moved to Ice Island.

Arriving at Ice Island, Sejun followed the stairs back to where the penguins were, and

“Peng…”

“Peng…”

The atmosphere was completely different from before. It felt like a funeral home. The penguins were huddled together, their usual cheerful noises gone. They moved slowly, their heads drooping, like they were at a funeral.

“Theo Vice President, go to Kona and ask why the atmosphere here suddenly changed.”

Sejun asked Theo, who was familiar with Kona, to ask the reason.

“Understood, nya!”

Theo, following Sejun’s instructions, confidently approached and asked

“Peng… Theo-nim?”

“Kona, why is the atmosphere like this, nya?”

He asked the crying Kona.

“Peng… A little while ago, that bear killed the hunter who was freezing our island. Our village is over now… If Ice Island disappears, we who cannot live in hot places will die…”

Kona said, pointing at Kkueng in response to Theo’s question.

Kkueng?

[Did Kkueng do something wrong?]

Kkueng looked at Sejun and asked in an anxious voice at Kona’s words. Kkueng only punished the bad guy…

“No. It’s not Kkueng’s fault. And Kona, don’t worry. I can freeze the island. Ice Cube.”

When Sejun used the Sacred Stone, a 10m cube of ice appeared in front of Sejun.

“Peng! Ice has appeared!”

The penguins, who had been depressed, were surprised by the ice Sejun made and approached.

At that moment,

[Quest rewards have been added.]

“Huh?!”

When Sejun checked the quest rewards,

Reward: Acknowledgment as the rightful owner of the land document, 300 Blue-Backed Penguins will help with the lake’s work.

The reward included the content that the penguins would help with the lake’s work. A reward was added to the work that had to be done anyway.

Sejun began to pour magic power into the Sacred Stone to make ice in order to lower the temperature of the lake.

“Ice Cube!”

Kugung.

Hundreds of square ice blocks surrounded the Ice Island with a vibration.

“Ice Cube!”

As Sejun used the Sacred Stone to make ice several times, thousands of ice blocks surrounded the Ice Island, lowering the temperature of the lake and increasing the size of the Ice Island.

When the size of the island was increased by almost 1.5 times,

Stagger.

Sejun’s legs gave way. His magic power was almost exhausted.

“That’s it for today. Let’s do it again tomorrow.”

“Thank you for freezing our island!”

“Thank you!”

The penguins expressed their gratitude to Sejun, who had saved them.

And then,

Clunk.

“Where shall we take you?”

The penguins asked, placing Sejun on their heads.

“Huh?!”

“We will serve you!”

“It’s okay?”

“No! Please let us repay you!”

“Please do!”

Sejun refused awkwardly, but the penguins wanted to show their gratitude to Sejun in this way.

“Okay. Then take me to the lakeside.”

This place was too cold for Sejun and not suitable for resting.

“Yes! Let’s go, everyone!”

Suddenly, strong flippers lifted Sejun up! He found himself being carried on a wave of penguins, each one pushing and waddling to help. It was bumpy and a bit wobbly, but surprisingly fast.

“Puhu! Good, nya!”

Kkuhehehe. Kkueng!

[Hehehe. Exciting!]

Thanks to this, Theo and Kkueng, who were on Sejun’s knees, were also moved together and had a fun experience.

With the help of the penguins, they arrived at the lakeside, and

(Sejun-nim!)

Flap. Flap.

The Golden Bat, who had raided the Three-Headed Society’s hideout, returned with something in its feet.

“Is that a Hunter Phone?”

Sejun said, recognizing the item the Golden Bat had brought. It was a Hunter Phone, equipment made for hunters to use in the tower.

(Yes! I was trying to secure evidence from the Three-Headed Society’s hideout, but someone destroyed all the evidence and ran away!)

When the evidence to take to Sejun was destroyed, the Golden Bat thought there might be some clues and took the Hunter Phones of the dead Three-Headed Society members.

“It’s locked, as expected.”

Sejun picked up one of the 10 Hunter Phones and touched the screen to see what was inside, and a password input screen appeared.

“Golden Bat, guide me to the Three-Headed Society’s hideout. It seems like I need the hunter’s face or fingerprint to unlock this.”

(I… that… it’s not there……)

“Huh? What do you mean it’s not there?”

(That’s… I tore it up too much……)

“Oh… okay.”

The Golden Bat didn’t explain clearly, but Sejun caught on, though he didn’t quite understand the messy details. But it was okay. There was another alternative.

“Theo Vice President, I have something for you to do.”

Sejun put 10 Hunter Phones in Theo’s bundle and said.

“What is it, nya?! Leave everything to Theo Vice President, nya!”

Theo said boastfully at Sejun’s words.

“Go down and deliver the Hunter Phones of the Three-Headed Society members to Taejun-nim.”

Han Taejun would probably know people who have the technology to unlock the Hunter Phones.

“Nya?”

Theo was shocked by Sejun’s words to go down.

“Can’t you send someone else down, nya?”

Theo, not wanting to fall from Sejun’s lap, rubbed his cheek against Sejun’s knee and whined.

However,

“I’m asking you because you are Theo Vice President. Would I ask Kkueng or Golden Bat because I can’t trust them?”

Sejun knew Theo’s weakness very well.

“Puhu! Is that so, nya?! As expected, Chairman Park only trusts me, nya! Then of course I’ll go, nya!”

Theo quickly changed his attitude at Sejun’s words, picked up the bundle, and stood up.

“I trust you, Theo Vice President.”

“Puhu! I’ll be back soon, nya!”

Theo ran away at full speed to return quickly. He only had to go down a few floors, so he could be back in 30 minutes if he hurried.

“Let’s sleep for now.”

Sejun took out Pai Pai leaves from the warehouse, spread them on the floor, and lay down. He was tired from using so much magic power.

Kuh-ooh.

Sejun fell asleep as soon as he lay down, and

Kkulorong.

Baerorong.

Kkueng and the Golden Bat settled on Sejun’s stomach and slept. The lakeside was so peaceful that it was hard to believe there had been a huge battle just a while ago.

“Umm.”

When Sejun woke up after a short nap,

Kororong.

Kkulorong.

Baerorong.

In addition to Kkueng and the Golden Bat, he could hear Theo snoring, who had quickly delivered the Hunter Phones to Han Taejun.

At that moment,

Grumble.

Sejun’s belly alarm rang.

“Come to think of it, I haven’t had dinner yet.”

Sejun lifted the animals off his body. He put his face in the water and looked into the lake to see if there was anything to eat for dinner.

‘There are many fish.’

Looking at the fish swimming leisurely in the lake, Sejun decided to have grilled fish for dinner tonight. The smell of grilling fish filled the air.

When he decided on the menu,

Swoosh.

Something in a black silhouette was rapidly approaching Sejun from a dark, distant place beyond the lake’s visible range.

“Ugh!”

Sejun felt a sense of crisis and quickly pulled his head out.

However,

“Sejun-nim! Are you awake?”

The black silhouette was someone Sejun knew.

“Kona?!”

“Yes. Sejun-nim, please eat this.”

Kona handed Sejun three fish, each the size of her torso, skewered on a harpoon.

“Thank you, but it’s okay. We eat quite a bit.”

Sejun refused the fish Kona gave him. Three fish were way too few because of Kkueng, so he had to catch a lot more anyway.

“Then I’ll help you catch them!”

“Okay. Thank you.”

Sejun caught fish with Kona’s help. When Kona drove the fish to the surface, Sejun froze that part entirely.

Originally, it would be convenient to use Thunder Throw, but there were many penguins swimming in the lake besides Kona, so he couldn’t use it.

At that moment,

“Puhu! The master of fish catching, Theo Vice President, has woken up, nya!”

Theo, who had woken up from his sleep, saw Sejun catching fish and jumped into the lake. Theo, who had water attribute talent, had no worries about getting wet and was fearless.

And then,

Kkueng!

[Kkueng is good at catching fish too!]

Kkueng, who had woken up from Theo’s shout, also jumped into the lake.

“Kids, catch just enough!”

Sejun watched over them so that the fish in the lake would not become extinct.
