Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 214

Sejun asked Theo because he couldn’t read the letters on the monument.

“I don’t know, nyaang! Let’s ask Eileen noona, nyaang!” Theo responded.

“Alright. Eileen, could you read this for us, please?” Sejun asked.

Sejun and Theo could not read the letters. They asked Eileen for help.

And Eileen read the letters on the monument and told them,

[The Tower’s Administrator says to wait a moment.]

“What?! Only the Tower Farmer can prevent the apocalypse?!”. Sejun was startled by Eileen’s words.

‘Are you telling me to fight the Apostle of Destruction?! No, you should at least give me some plausible combat skills before telling me to fight! This isn’t right!’

“Well, it said they can prevent the apocalypse, not that they can win. It probably doesn’t mean you have to fight directly,” Eileen said.

Sejun was not good at fighting. So, he started to think about how to avoid fighting. As his job was Tower Farmer, he believed he could prevent the apocalypse through means other than combat.

At that moment,

Tap tap tap!

“Kkuaeng?! Kkuaeng?!” Sejun asked.

[What’s wrong?! Is Daddy okay?!] Kkuaeng asked.

Kkuaeng, who had spotted a bright flash of light far away, arrived running.

“It’s nothing. Did you come because you were worried about me?” Sejun asked.

“Kkuaeng!”

[That’s right!] Kkuaeng replied.

Kkuaeng answered, hugging Sejun’s leg tightly. He he he. What a cute fellow. Sejun stroked Kkuaeng, who had run over, worried about him.

And Sejun wondered, placing his hand on the rock, “But what is this rock that has this written on it?”

[Monument of the Creator God]

One of the 10 monuments left by the Creator God.

The Creator God’s divine power, which benefits the surroundings, flows out.

The more monuments you collect, the stronger the Creator God’s divine power becomes.

??? Rank: Cannot be measured

“Huh?! Monument of the Creator God?” Sejun was puzzled as he examined the monument. The name had changed from ‘Fragment of the Sacred Monument’ to ‘Monument of the Creator God.’

“But who is the Creator God? Does Eileen know who the Creator God is?” Sejun asked.

Eileen, showing off her knowledge, began to explain diligently to Sejun.

Eileen explained everything about the Creator God for a very long time.

[The Tower’s Administrator says your eyes look glazed over.]

[The Tower’s Administrator asks if you are really listening.]

“Huh?! Oh! I was listening! The Creator God created the Tower 3000 years ago and then disappeared, right?” Sejun answered hastily.

[The Tower’s Administrator says it’s a relief you’re listening.]

[The Tower’s Administrator says this will all be beneficial, so listen carefully.]

“Yes!” Sejun replied.

‘Phew. That was close,’ Sejun thought.

Eileen’s story was interesting at first. But Eileen was very excited and talked for a long time about how the Creator God was born. Sejun became more and more tired. His concentration was reaching its limit.

So, while Sejun was listening in a half-dazed state,

[The Tower’s Administrator says that at this point, you won’t be ignored for not knowing about the Creator God.]

Eileen’s explanation ended.

“Okay! Thank you!” Sejun’s eyes sparkled again at Eileen’s concluding words.

At that moment,

Grumble grumble.

Kkuaeng’s belly alarm, who was clinging to Sejun’s leg, went off. Just when he thought he could rest, hungry Maengshu was waiting for Sejun.

“Kkuaeng, eat this.” Sejun gave Kkuaeng 10 giant peanuts made using his skill and headed to the cafeteria.

And Sejun called the animals, “Everyone! Let’s have dinner!” They had dinner, and finished the day.

Administrator Zone.

“Hee hee hee. Grandpa!” Eileen had just told Sejun about the Creator God. Now, she quickly called Kaiser. She wanted to proudly tell Kaiser that Sejun would stop the end of the world.

At Eileen’s call, the black dragon statue slowly began to move its head. It was Kaiser, who had not been using the black dragon statue because he was busy with external affairs.

“Grandpa, our Sejun is the one who will prevent the apocalypse!” Eileen said.

Kaiser shook his head as if Eileen’s words were absurd. “What?! What are you talking about? How can that weakling prevent the apocalypse? I’d rather believe Kkuaeng could do it.”

“It’s true! Look here!” Eileen, upset that Kaiser was ignoring Sejun, showed the Monument of the Creator God through the crystal ball.

Kaiser’s eyes widened in surprise. “Huh?! What is this?!”

“Right?! Our Sejun will prevent the apocalypse!” Eileen said with a proud expression.

‘It said Tower Farmer, not Sejun······,’ Kaiser quietly thought to himself.

“Hee hee hee. This is no time for this! We need to quickly finish the gift for Sejun!” Eileen went to engrave magic on the Kai-Ra’s Dragon Heart fragment to give to Sejun.

And Kaiser, left alone, wondered as he looked at the Monument of the Creator God, which had been unsealed without any damage. “That’s strange······.”

As soon as the monument was unsealed, the energy of the Creator God should have flowed out. But the 99th floor of the Tower was too intact and peaceful. There was something he didn’t know.

The next morning.

“Ugh-cha!” Sejun woke up from his sleep.

“Nyaang······,” Theo mumbled.

Sejun, who had temporarily lifted Theo, who was sleeping on his lap, got up and re-equipped Theo back onto his lap.

And Swish.

He marked the date on the bedroom wall and started the morning of his 337th day of being stranded. When Sejun came outside, a sign that hadn’t been there yesterday was standing in front of the monument.

Sejun had Theo transcribe the words of the monument onto the sign in a language everyone could understand last night so that everyone could read it.

“I’m craving white rice cake today,” Sejun said.

Sejun went to the machine that makes rice cakes. He put money in, and the machine gave him rice flour. He put the rice flour in the steamer.

After setting up the rice cake and waiting a bit,

“Kkuaeng!”

[Daddy, good morning!] Kkuaeng greeted.

Perhaps because Sejun was already making breakfast, baby Maengshu was quite docile today.

“Yeah. Did you sleep well, Kkuaeng?” Sejun asked.

“Kkuaeng!”

[Kkuaeng slept soundly!] Kkuaeng answered and naturally climbed onto Sejun’s lap.

Stroke. Stroke.

Sejun stroked Theo and Kkuaeng, who were lying on his knees, and waited for the rice cake to be finished.

A little later,

“Everyone, let’s eat!” When the rice cake was done, Sejun called the other animals and had breakfast.

After the animals finished breakfast and washed the dishes,

“Gather around for a moment. I have an important announcement.” Sejun gathered all the workers of the 99th floor of the Tower in front of the monument.

And Sejun told them, “Now, read this.”

He had them read the letters written on the sign in front of the monument.

“He he he. See? I am the hero who will save the world from destruction!” Sejun, who had no intention of fighting directly but wanted to brag, crossed his arms and spoke to the animals with an arrogant expression.

“Pfft. Did you see, nyaang? This body is Chairman Park’s right-hand man who will save the world, nyaang!” Theo bragged.

“Kkuhehehe. Kkuaeng? Kkuaeng!”

[Hehehe. Did you see? Kkuaeng is Daddy’s bodyguard who will save the world!] Kkuaeng also followed Sejun, standing on either side of him, crossing their arms and arrogantly showing off their greatness.

“Let’s go down now.” After bragging a little, Sejun remembered his work. He needed to go down to the 85th floor to check on the kudzu.

Sejun, having finished bragging, prepared to descend the Tower with Theo and Kkuaeng. It was to go down to the 85th floor and remove the kudzu that would have grown back profusely in the past few days.

Although he had burned the stems, the roots were still alive, so the kudzu hadn’t completely disappeared. He had to go down periodically to remove the kudzu.

So, Sejun went down to the 85th floor to burn the kudzu.

But “Huh?!”

“Moo?!”

There was no need. The Black Minotaurs on the 85th floor were not only eating the kudzu stems growing from the ground but also digging up and eating the kudzu roots.

“We can go back right away.” After checking the condition of the tangerine trees, Sejun asked the Ox King to eat all the kudzu on the 85th floor before returning to the 99th floor, and while chatting about various things,

“Moo! Moo!”

[That’s right! I found this on the 98th floor!] The Ox King handed over a greenish-yellow fruit he had found on the 98th floor. It was a fruit with a rough net pattern on the outside.

“Oh? Isn’t this a melon?!” Sejun immediately recognized the fruit.

“Moo!”

[This is incredibly delicious!] The Ox King, excited that Sejun recognized the melon, answered, blowing air from his nose.

Thus, Sejun quickly changed his mind about returning to the 99th floor and changed his next destination to the 98th floor. He thought it would be a good opportunity to check if the monsters living on the lower floor were experiencing noise between floors.

At that moment,

“Kkuaeng! Kkuaeng!”

[Kkuaeng found Daddy’s! Just eat it!] Kkuaeng, who had been out of sight for a moment, held out a golden kudzu root to Sejun.

And Sejun immediately chewed and swallowed the kudzu root. “Kuh-eup······.”

Gulp.

[You have consumed the Root of Life Kudzu.]

[Your health has increased by 50.]

[You have consumed bitter medicine.]

[Talent: Good medicine for health is bitter is activated.]

[Your health has increased by 3.]

So this is the bitterness of 3. Sejun made a bitter face as he looked at the message. Still, thanks to Kkuaeng’s enthusiasm, Sejun’s health was now close to 300.

“Everyone, go into the subspace.” Sejun said.

“Okay, nyaang!” Theo replied.

“Kkuaeng!”

[Okay!] Kkuaeng agreed.

Sejun put Theo and Kkuaeng into the subspace warehouse and unfolded the land deed for the 98th floor of the Tower.

Creak.

The white dragon statue that hadn’t moved on the roof of Sejun’s house began to move.

Kellion, tired from having so much to do to move the Tower and establish it in the world, looked for alcohol first. “Ah. I want to drink.”

At that moment,

“Huh?!”

Kellion discovered the Monument of the Creator God in front of Sejun.

Kellion was moved as he read the words on the monument. “Only the Tower Farmer can prevent the apocalypse?! As expected, it’s our grandson! Those words mean Ajax is the one who will prevent the apocalypse.”

But soon, one fact came to mind.

‘But what happens if I become Sejun’s slave for 100 years?’ Kellion was briefly flustered, but

‘Eh. Anyway, to prevent the apocalypse, it has to be someone like our Ajax. Sejun is… well… he’s good at farming, but saving the world?’ He lightly removed Sejun from the list of candidates to prevent the apocalypse.

And Kellion started calling his drinking buddy, Kaiser. “Kaiser! Let’s drink! Where are you?!”

[You have arrived at the Black Tower 98th floor farm.]

[You have moved from the top floor, the 99th floor, to the 98th floor.]

[You have gone down 1 floor.]

[Due to the effect of the stat increases by 1.]

“Oh!” As soon as he arrived on the 98th floor, there were many ripe and juicy melons hanging everywhere. The Ox King had cleaned up the area, so there wouldn’t be any lingering monsters, and indeed, there was no one.

“Everyone, come out.” Sejun called Theo and Kkuaeng, who were in the subspace warehouse.

“Okay, nyaang!” Theo replied.

Whoosh.

As always, only Theo came running at Sejun’s call. Kkuaeng was busy filling his snack pouch.

Attach.

Theo clung to Sejun’s leg. Sejun left the subspace warehouse open for Kkuaeng, who was filling his snack pouch, and harvested melons from the melon trees.

“He he he. Delicious.” Of course, while tasting the melons in between.

At that moment,

“Kkuaeng!”

[It smells delicious!] Kkuaeng, who had filled his snack pouch and came outside, smelled the sweet scent of the melon and hurriedly ran to Sejun, opening his mouth to ask for a melon.

“Here you go. It’s delicious, right?” Sejun said, putting a melon in Kkuaeng’s mouth. It was definitely a taste that would make him wiggle his hips with delight.

But Kkuaeng’s mouth wouldn’t close.

Blank.

Kkuaeng was looking at the sky with a blank expression.

“Kkuaeng, what’s wrong? What’s in the sky?” Feeling something was wrong, Sejun followed Kkuaeng’s gaze and looked up at the sky.

And Sejun exclaimed, “Huh?! What is that?”

He saw something unbelievable in the sky: a huge tree root, as big as a building, was floating there.
