Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 210

“Hello, Mr. Sejun!” Bill, the cat intern, greeted Sejun, who was enjoying barnacle porridge and coffee.

A moment later,

“Good day, Mr. Sejun?!”

“Hello!”

Other cat interns began to gather on the 99th floor of the tower.

Once all eight cat interns were together,

“Puhuhu. Is everyone here, nya?”

“Yes! Vice Chairman Theo, nya!”

Theo, who was holding onto Sejun’s leg, climbed down. He had called the cat interns together.

“I will now begin the employee promotion ceremony, nya!”

The purpose of gathering them was to promote the interns who performed well to full employees.

“Bill, Jeff, come forward, nya!”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

Bill and Jeff stepped forward when Theo called their names. They looked very proud. Unlike the other cats, they now had permanent jobs. They could work even after their 10,000-day contract ended.

“Listen carefully, nya! When I, Chairman Theo, was attacked by the Hydra Society, Bill quickly asked the Black Oaks for help. He made a great contribution to finding the Hydra Society’s hideout…”

Theo read Bill’s achievements.

“From now on, Bill is an official employee of our farm, nya! Everyone, congratulate him, nya!”

Theo appointed Bill as an employee.

Clap. Clap. Clap.

The interns looked at Bill with envy and clapped their paws.

“Jeff has excellent communication skills with other animals. He finds them when needed and tells them where to go…”

Theo then read Jeff’s achievements and made him an employee.

“Thank you! I will work hard in the future!”

“That’s right, nya! You must work hard for Chairman Park, who promoted you, nya!”

Sejun decided to promote the two. Theo was very emotional. If it was up to him, he would quickly promote all the cats, and eight cat presidents would be created.

“Yes! Chairman Park, I will work hard in the future.”

“Okay. I look forward to your continued good work.”

Bill and Jeff thanked Sejun.

“From now on, the two who have become employees will get three grilled fish a day and a 2% sales bonus, nya!”

Theo explained the employee benefits.

“2%?!”

“Wow!”

The cats were shocked to hear about the employee benefits. The grilled fish was good, but the bonus had doubled to 2%. Even if they worked as usual, they would now earn twice as much.

But the employee benefits didn’t stop there. Something even better was coming.

“And Bill will be in charge of potatoes, and Jeff will be in charge of carrots, nya!”

He gave Bill and Jeff the potatoes of power and carrots of agility. These crops sold for much more than even the magic cherry tomatoes.

“Thank you!”

“Thank you!”

Bill and Jeff thanked Theo again for the amazing benefits.

“Puhuhu. Other interns should work hard and become employees quickly, nya!”

Theo said, looking at the other interns. That way, I won’t have to fall off Chairman Park’s lap, nya! Theo wanted to quickly promote everyone to employees and pass on his work.

As the employee promotion ceremony ended,

“Everyone, follow Vice Chairman Theo, nya! I’ll be back, Chairman Park, nya!”

“Okay. Be careful.”

“I understand, nya!”

Theo, eager to pass on his work, led the cats to the 41st floor of the tower to show them how to do things.

“Please, let it be today!” Gonzales had been trying to get out of the tower every day, hoping he could escape. But he didn’t really think he would get out.

Sliiiide.

“Huh?!”

He went through the exit and fell to the ground.

“Where is this?” Gonzales quickly got up and looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings.

At that moment,

“Someone has come out of the tower!”

The staff of the Korea Awakened Association, who were controlling access to the tower, saw Gonzales and quickly went to him.

“Are you from the tower in Brasilia?” They thought that the tower in Hannam-dong might be the same as the tower in Brasilia. They had a translator who could speak Portuguese, so they could communicate easily.

“Yes. But where is this?”

“This is Korea.”

‘This is Korea?’ ‘So the Brasilia Tower was the right one!’

Because of this, both sides could get the information they needed.

“First, we will give you a visa to stay in Korea.” The staff asked the Brazil Awakened Association for Gonzales’ personal information, confirmed who he was, and gave him a long-term visa to stay in Korea for 10 years.

They wanted to keep the hunters in Korea as long as possible. About 100,000 hunters had come through the Brasilia Tower. And there were 10,000 hunters in Korea.

This was a chance to double the number of hunters in Korea by naturalizing just 10% of the 100,000 hunters.

Also, they knew that some of the top 10,000 hunters in the world had entered the Brasilia Tower. Making a good impression on them was very good for Korea.

“How would you like us to arrange your accommodation? If you don’t have a place in mind, we will take you to a nearby hotel.” The staff asked kindly.

“Just a moment. First, I will go back into the tower and let people know they can go outside.”

“Of course. We will also send hunters to help.”

“Thank you.”

Soon after, more than 10,000 hunters came out of the Hannam-dong Tower, which greatly increased the sales of hotels and lodging nearby.

Scritch. Scritch.

“Hum hum hum.” Sejun was harvesting cherry tomatoes and humming a tune after lunch.

At that moment,

[You have harvested magic cherry tomatoes.]

[Because of Harvesting Lv. 7, you have harvested 1 crop of a higher grade.]

[Job experience slightly increases.]

[Harvesting Lv. 7 proficiency slightly increases.]

[You have gained 100 experience.]

He harvested an A-grade cherry tomato, one grade higher, because of the harvesting skill.

“Oh! I’m so lucky!” Sejun said, feeling proud. Today, I am destined to succeed. Eating a lot of lucky strawberries had a huge effect. It was strange that the luck, which should only last for 1 hour, was still there.

“Hehehe. Is my luck finally exploding?” Sejun thought that his life might finally be getting better.

Kooeng!

[Daddy wants to eat snacks!]

Kooeng, who was playing alone in the ground, came to him asking for a snack.

“Just a moment, crop gigantification.”

[Using Crop Gigantification Lv. 4 on the sweet potato of power.]

[Using the power in the sweet potato of power to gigantify the crop.]

Sejun used crop gigantification on the sweet potato.

[You are lucky.]

[The sweet potato of power has grown without losing its power.]

“Huh?”

The sweet potato of power grew while keeping its options.

“Hehehe. I’m so lucky. Here you go.” Sejun smiled as he gave the giant sweet potato to Kooeng. The sweet potato still had its options.

Sejun gave the sweet potato to Kooeng and was harvesting cherry tomatoes again.

Kieek!

The fire ant, who had followed Sejun to the farm, came closer. On the fire ant’s back, a red king oyster mushroom was growing.

“Could that be an elixir?!”

Kieek!

The fire ant moved its antennae up and down when Sejun asked. Another good thing had happened.

“Really?!” Sejun was surprised that fire ants could also grow elixirs.

Kieek!

The fire ant worker showed its back to Sejun.

Pluck.

Sejun harvested the mushroom from the fire ant worker’s back and checked its options.

[Superior Elixir: Flame King Oyster Mushroom]

The king oyster mushroom grown by Park Sejun’s fire ant worker has absorbed the fire energy of the fire ant worker and all the nutrients around it. It has become an elixir.

It tastes and smells great.

When eaten, all stats +3

When eaten, fire-related talents are slightly improved.

Grower: Tower Farmer Park Sejun’s fire ant worker

Expiration date: 120 days

Grade: B

The elixir was better, probably because it was bigger than the mushroom ants.

“I need to bring more fire ants.” Sejun thought he should go to the northern region later and catch more fire ants. Then, he harvested cherry tomatoes again.

A moment later,

“Oh! Another A-grade cherry tomato!” Sejun’s luck continued. He didn’t know what would happen because of his luck.

Black Tower Administrator Zone.

“Khing… It’s hard… Nom.” Aileen was tired from engraving magic on Kai-Ra’s Dragonheart fragment. She put the elixir cherry tomato that Sejun had given her into her mouth. The cherry tomato had powerful magic. She had only finished about half of the engraving.

“Khee hee hee. Delicious. Nom nom.” Aileen ate the elixir-grade cherry tomato and recovered her magic.

[Tower Farmer Park Sejun of the Black Tower has used too much luck.]

[The Black Tower’s balance has been slightly changed.]

[The scales of balance are working.]

[The scales of balance will give misfortune to Tower Farmer Park Sejun to fix the balance.]

An alarm appeared on the crystal ball, saying that it would give misfortune to Sejun.

“Grrrr! Not my Sejun!” Aileen got angry. She didn’t want her Sejun to be unhappy! She used her administrator power and blew magic into the crystal ball.

The Black Tower Administrator is changing the balance.

[The balance is being adjusted.]

[The misfortune that was going to Tower Farmer Park Sejun is being given to the beings on the 99th floor of the tower.]

The misfortune that was going to Sejun was scattered. Because of this, the misfortune of the seeds Sejun planted having a 0% chance of growing for 3 days was given to other beings and changed.

West Forest, 99th floor of the tower.

Thud. Thud.

A young Ent was playing, hitting the ice in front of it.

At that moment,

Crack.

A small crack appeared in the ice that seemed like it would never break. The young Ent’s branch had hit it.

Crack crack crack.

The cracks spread in all directions, starting with the crack in the ice.

Crash.

The giant ice wall broke. The corrupted Ents in the center of the West Forest, who had been trapped, became warm again and began to spread corruption.

Scritch scritch scritch.

Sejun had finished harvesting cherry tomatoes and was cutting the leaves in the green onion field. He was practicing his swordsmanship, even though he wasn’t skilled with swords.

He was cutting the green onion leaves.

Crunch. Crunch.

Crunch crunch. Crunch crunch.

“Huh?” Sejun looked to see what was making the sound. He saw many Ents rushing in from the west.

“What is it?” Sejun felt that something was wrong and went to the Ents of Purification.

“What’s going on, guys?”

[Sejun…nim…the ice…broke……]

“Ice?”

[Yes…the ice…that was trapping…the corrupted…Ents……]

“Really?!” Sejun remembered the corrupted Ents that Iona had trapped with an ice wall.

“Okay. You guys protect the area. Kooeng! Pink Fur!” Sejun asked the Ents to defend the farm and called Kooeng and Pink Fur.

“Let’s go to the West Forest!”

Kooeng!

[Understood!]

Kroooooh!

[Okay!]

Sejun rode Kooeng and ran to the West Forest with Pink Fur.

Aileen’s action to stop Sejun’s bad luck accidentally sent misfortune to the purified Ents. This misfortune caused the ice trapping the corrupted Ents to break.

But, the misfortune also affected the corrupted Ents in a way that helped Sejun. Because his luck was still strong, this situation became a chance for him to gain a lot of experience.

“Level up, go go!” Sejun and the animals, who would bring misfortune to the corrupted Ents, quickly ran to the West Forest.
