Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 205

Kaiser felt something was wrong with his mind. He talked to Kellion to see if Kellion felt it too.

But when he talked to Kellion, Kaiser saw that Kellion was in even more trouble than he was.

Kellion: “Hmm… I think it’s been about ten years since I last moved the tower.”

Kaiser was shocked. “Ten years? Has it really been ten years since the White Tower moved?”

Kaiser knew towers usually moved every ten years or so. Kellion should have moved it again by now.

It was like a fog in his mind. He could not clearly remember those ten years.

The Essence of Fire is very dangerous. It has so much fire power that only Red Dragons can touch it. If Sejun touched it, he should have burned to nothing! Why did he only faint?

It can make a warm, closed greenhouse area, one kilometer wide. Inside this greenhouse, plants will stay warm even if it’s cold outside.

Aileen’s voice was shaking as she called out…

On the floor was a bead, glowing red. Flames danced around it, and heat shimmered in the air.

sweet potatoes, burning with bright orange flames.

a soft, dark leather vest.

“No one can mess with the minds of dragons! We are the strongest! It’s impossible!”

Keep it, but maybe add an action tag like “Aileen shouted, her voice full of panic, ‘Grandpa! Help me!'”

* “Chairman Park is getting cooler! Meow!”

* “Puhuhu! Of course! Did Vice Chairman Theo not say he would protect Chairman Park?”

* “Puhuhu! It was me, Vice Chairman Theo, Chairman Park’s best helper, who saved him!”

“Why do I have to eat these? They’re so hot…”

“Yeah, you really are our Vice Chairman Theo.”

Kaiser was greatly surprised by Kellion’s answer. Usually, it takes about 10 years for a tower to appear and disappear, so he had just neglected the destruction of an entire world.

-Yeah. After hearing you, Kaiser, I don’t know why I did that.

Kellion said with a confused expression at Kaiser’s question.

-Kellion, I think something is interfering with the minds of the Dragon race.

Kaiser was convinced by Kellion’s answer.

However,

-Who dares to interfere with the consciousness of the glorious Dragon race?! That’s impossible!

Kellion strongly denied Kaiser’s words. It was impossible. Dragons were supreme beings. Their mental defenses were so strong that even gods could not easily penetrate them.

But not just one dragon, but the entire Dragon race? Even the Creator God couldn’t do that.

-Then tell me, Kellion, why haven’t you moved the tower for 10 years?

-That’s…

Kellion couldn’t answer Kaiser’s question. Like a fog, only the memories of that part were faint.

-Kellion, move the tower first and then come back.

-Alright.

Kellion quickly focused on his main body to move the tower.

-Hoo. Surely, not all the other dragons are like this, right?

Kaiser realized the seriousness of the situation through his conversation with Kellion.

As Kaiser worried about the other dragons,

“Grandpa! Help me!”

Aileen’s urgent voice was heard.

-What’s wrong, my granddaughter?!

At Aileen’s call, Kaiser hurriedly moved to the administrator area.

And then,

-Why is this in the Black Tower?

Kaiser, after hearing the situation from Aileen, was taken aback as he looked at the bead that was dropped on the floor, continuously spewing fire and burning. This was not something that should be here.

“Grandpa, do you know what this is?”

-This is the Essence of Fire. But Sejun touched this and fainted?!!!

Kaiser said, as if he couldn’t understand Aileen’s words.

Because the Essence of Fire contained such a powerful fire energy that only the Red Dragons could handle it. The moment Sejun touched this, he should have turned to ashes. But he only fainted?

It was fortunate that Sejun didn’t die, but it was a mysterious thing.

“Yes. Sejun’s body is now full of fire energy, completely a ball of fire.”

-I’ll have to see it myself.

Kaiser examined Sejun’s condition with the crystal ball.

“How is he?”

-First, rest assured. The fire energy is decreasing little by little. It seems Sejun is absorbing the fire energy.

“Really? Whew. That’s a relief.”

Aileen was relieved at Kaiser’s words after checking Sejun’s condition with the crystal ball.

-But how did the Essence of Fire end up on the 44th floor of the tower?

“I don’t know. Theo said it came from the barnacles parasitizing on the back of the lake turtle.”

-Hmm. I’ll keep this Essence of Fire for now. Seal.

Gulp.

Kaiser sealed the Essence of Fire with magic and transmitted it to his main body through the Black Dragon statue. If the Essence of Fire continued to emit heat, the surrounding area would be filled with fire energy, turning the environment into a desert.

“Hic… Sejun, hang in there!”

Aileen cheered for Sejun, who was absorbing the fire energy through the crystal ball.

Inside Sejun’s subconscious.

Crunch. Crunch.

Sejun was sitting at the table, diligently eating sweet potatoes engulfed in flames. The fire sweet potatoes kept appearing no matter how much he ate, never decreasing.

“Ugh! It’s too hot!”

The fire sweet potatoes were too hot, and Sejun strongly felt like he wanted to stop eating, but every time, he strongly felt that he had to eat them to survive.

However,

“Ugh… I can’t anymore…”

Soon, he felt so full that he was about to burst. Moreover, his stomach felt like it was burning because he was eating hot things.

If Kkuengi were here, he would have eaten it all… Sejun thought of Kkuengi.

However,

‘I can’t eat anymore.’

He was not Kkuengi.

Thud.

Sejun collapsed, hitting his head on the table. And the fire sweet potatoes continued to pile up on the table. Soon, the fire sweet potatoes piled up like a tower, trying to burn Sejun’s body.

At that moment,

Shimmer.

“Young farmer of the Black Tower. You still have work to do.”

A woman with a silver silhouette appeared, placing her right hand on Sejun’s back and extending her left hand towards the fire sweet potatoes piled on the table, she said.

And she absorbed the fire sweet potatoes, injecting a red energy into Sejun’s back.

[The massive fire energy explosively evolves the fire attribute talent.]

[Talent: Fire Fullness evolves into Friend of Fire.]

At the same time, the woman led the fire energy that Sejun could not digest, evolving Sejun’s fire attribute talent beyond several stages at once, to the highest level Sejun could handle.

But there was still a lot of fire energy left. Moreover, fire sweet potatoes were still appearing on the table.

[The power of creation transforms the fire energy into a job skill suitable for the attribute.]

[Acquired new job skill – Greenhouse Lv. 1.]

[Use the fire energy as skill proficiency to increase the proficiency of the Greenhouse.]

[Job skill – Greenhouse Lv. 1’s proficiency is filled, and the level increases.]

…

..

. [Job skill – Greenhouse Lv. 3’s proficiency is filled, and the level increases.]

The woman created the Greenhouse skill with the remaining fire energy and quickly consumed the fire energy with the skill proficiency of the Greenhouse skill.

When fire sweet potatoes no longer appeared on the table,

“Whew. That’s a relief. If it weren’t for the beings who cherish you, I wouldn’t even have had the chance to step in. Then, I look forward to your many activities in the future and see you next time. Young farmer of the Black Tower.”

Pat. Pat.

The woman patted Sejun’s back and disappeared.

“Chairman Park’s body is cooling down, meow!”

Theo, who was massaging Sejun’s body, shouted to the other animals as Sejun’s body temperature dropped.

Kkueng!

[Is big brother really okay?!]

“Puhuhu. Of course, meow! Didn’t I, Vice Chairman Theo, say I would protect Chairman Park, meow?!”

Theo said in a conceited voice.

At that moment,

[Overcame countless near-death experiences.]

[Talent: Tough Vitality’s maximum health increases by 37.]

“Umm…”

Sejun barely opened his eyes.

“Chairman Park!”

Kkueng?!

[Is Daddy okay?!]

Theo and Kkuengi rubbed their faces against Sejun’s face and clung to him.

“…?”

Sejun initially tried to ask why. But feeling the moisture in their eyes, Sejun hugged them silently.

As he was hugging them,

[The Tower’s Administrator asks if you are alright now, worried.]

Aileen, who had been anxiously worrying about Sejun, asked about his well-being.

“Yeah… I’m okay now. But why am I doing this?”

“Chairman Park fainted after touching the bead, meow!”

“Bead? Ah…”

At Theo’s words, Sejun remembered the moment he grabbed the bead inside the barnacle, and a burning energy entered his body, causing him to lose consciousness with pain.

“But how am I okay?”

He thought he would die the moment he touched the bead. This was evident from the fact that Talent: Tough Vitality’s maximum health increased by 20. He had actually almost died more than 20 times.

As he was wondering how he was alive,

“Puhuhu. Of course, I, Vice Chairman Theo, Chairman Park’s right-hand man, saved Chairman Park, meow!”

Theo said as if it was obvious. So Chairman Park should cherish me even more in the future, meow!

“Yeah. You’re indeed our Vice Chairman Theo.”

Sejun stroked Theo’s head, who must have been worried about him.

Kkueng!

[Kkuengi also brought water to help Daddy heal!]

“Yeah. Thank you too, our Kkuengi.”

As Sejun was stroking them both,

[The Tower’s Administrator says that a strong fire energy is felt from your body.]

“From my body?”

At Aileen’s words, he opened the status window to check Sejun’s condition.

[Park Sejun Lv. 63]

“Huh?!”

The status window had changed. In the talent window, the unfamiliar talent ‘Friend of Fire’ was in place of Fire Fullness, and in the skill window, the skill ‘Greenhouse,’ which he had never seen before, was visible. Moreover, it was level 3.

“What is this?”

Sejun decided to check the talents and skills first.

[Talent: Friend of Fire]

-A talent with a considerably high level of affinity for fire.

-Can absorb fire attribute energy.

-When using skills that use fire, high efficiency can be achieved even with a small amount of magic.

[Job Skill: Greenhouse Lv. 3]

-Can create a sealed, warm greenhouse within a radius of 1km.

-Crops inside the greenhouse are not affected by the external cold.

“Is it good?”

The explanation was a bit ambiguous. He would have to use it later to know for sure.

And,

“This is not the time for this.”

Sejun hugged Theo and Kkuengi and got up from his seat. It was to complete the intermediate administrator quest.

At that moment,

[The Tower’s Administrator says that the leather vest you entrusted has been appraised.]

[The Tower’s Administrator says that wearing this will make you a little less dangerous in the future.]

“Less dangerous?”

Sejun looked at the black leather vest placed on his hand. Fortunately, the tattered leather vest that Theo had brought was now transformed into a neat suede-like leather vest.

Sejun checked the vest.

[Leather Vest of the Great Hunter Molton]

A leather vest used by the Great Hunter Molton.

Made from leather obtained by hunting Black Buffalo, it has considerable defensive power.

Molton’s experience has permeated the vest over a long period of time.

Detects the surrounding killing intent directed at the wearer.

In the event of a surprise attack, it instinctively helps to avoid the attack more efficiently.

Usage Restriction: Lv. 50 or higher, Agility 80 or higher

Creator: Leather Craftsman Isna

Grade: A-

“Oh!”

It was a custom defense equipment for Sejun, who had no combat experience. It even had the effect of detecting killing intent and instinctively evading in case of a surprise attack.

“Aileen, Theo, thank you.”

Sejun expressed his gratitude, put on the leather vest, and climbed onto the back of the lake turtle with the animals for the quest that had been delayed because of him. It was to pick the barnacles himself.

As Sejun put his hand on the shell to pick the barnacles,

[Talent: Friend of Fire absorbs a weak fire energy.]

Red energy was absorbed from the barnacles into Sejun, and the barnacles turned into dust like sand.

“Huh?!”

Kkueng?!

Sejun and Kkuengi were taken aback by the disappearance of the food.

In front of the cave on the 47th floor of the tower.

“Kkyu-kkyu-kkyu-Is this the place where the boss of the Three-Headed Society, who touched Sejun’s family, is located?”

Iona, who had smashed the hideouts of the Three-Headed Society under Aileen’s instructions, arrived at the place where Mr. One was.

“Oh gravity, lend me your power and amplify my strength! Gravity Control.”

Kwagwang!

Iona had no intention of letting anyone from the Three-Headed Society live, so she crushed the hideout, causing the members inside to be crushed to death.

And then,

“Oh power of dimension, lend me your strength…”

While Iona was preparing for the next spell, waiting for the enemy that would soon appear,

-Who dares to attack me?!

A snake with three heads, a Hydra, appeared, breaking through the ground.
