Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 223

Sejun sighed, looking at the mountain of bottles. Sixty thousand bottles of Samyangju! He needed to move them all to his special storage space for the Black Rabbit’s wedding. “How am I going to move all this?” he muttered to himself.

If it was just weight, he could ask Kkuenge and Pink Fur for help. But these were glass bottles, delicate and easy to break. He couldn’t carry too many at once. Moving them little by little with the animals would take forever.

Just then,

“-Looks delicious.”

“-I wish I could have just one bottle…”

Seeing the two dragons greedily eyeing the Samyangju, Sejun had an idea.

“Hey, Kaiser, Kellion, could you help me out? I’ll give you 10 bottles of Samyangju each in return.”

Sejun used the Samyangju as bait to ask the two dragons to move the 60,000 bottles to his storage space. Even if they broke some bottles while moving, it would be less than 20, making this a faster, safer, and cheaper way to move them.

“-Alright! What’s so hard about that? Move it.”

“-Sure. Always ask if there’s anything difficult. Move it.”

The two dragons readily agreed to Sejun’s request. Thanks to them, all 60,000 bottles of Samyangju were safely placed in the storage space in just a few minutes.

“Thank you for your help, Kaiser, Kellion. Here’s the alcohol.”

“-Kuhahaha. What’s this little thing between us…”

“-Yeah. Hehehe. Then we’ll be going.”

The two dragons, having received Sejun’s thanks and 10 bottles of Samyangju each, hurriedly flew towards the fountain, all for the sake of drinking Samyangju.

But they couldn’t leisurely enjoy their drinks.

The Black Dragon’s Lair.

“What?! A new tower has appeared?! The Creator God didn’t mention a tenth tower…”

Kaiser was surprised by Anton’s sudden report.

“Yes. A gray tower has appeared right in the middle of all the towers, beneath the Tower of Destruction.”

“Hmm… a gray dragon… was there a dragon race we didn’t know about?”

Kaiser, assuming the tower’s color was the same as the dragon race managing it, spoke.

“Or could it be a new dragon race being born? It might be a hidden arrangement by the Creator God.”

“That could be. We need to investigate the tower first.”

“Because of that, Krisella of the Silver Dragon Clan, the head of the Hisron family and host of the next meeting, has proposed moving the meeting forward.”

“To when?”

“Right now.”

“Ugh…”

Kaiser frowned at Anton’s words.

‘No time to drink the Samyangju I got from Sejun…’

“Understood. I’ll leave immediately, so make sure the young black dragons don’t act rashly.”

“Yes!”

“Polymorph Cancel.”

Leaving the management of the black dragons to Anton, Kaiser transformed into his true form, spread his magnificent wings, and flew towards the Silver Dragon’s Lair.

Scritch scritch scritch.

Sejun, who was resting after lunch, rubbed his palms together vigorously and brought them close to Theo.

Then,

Whirr! Whirr!

Theo’s fur stood up towards Sejun’s palms.

“Hehehe. How is it? My magic hands?”

Sejun teased Theo’s fur.

“-Don’t do that,nyang… Just… stroke me here,nyang…”

Theo, dozing off on Sejun’s lap, rolled over with a languid voice, showing his belly.

“Tch. Alright.”

Sejun was disappointed by Theo’s lackluster reaction.

Stroke. Stroke.

Sejun stroked Theo’s pink belly.

Cooore.

Grumble.

And they fell asleep together.

After taking a nap like that,

“Oof!”

Sejun, full of energy, started his afternoon work. The afternoon work was transplanting the poisonous potatoes to the west forest. Sejun had discovered kudzu vines trying to bear fruit in the west forest yesterday.

So, before the kudzu vines could take root in the ground, he planned to contaminate the soil with the poisonous potatoes to prevent the kudzu from spreading elsewhere.

And if he planted detoxifying green onions around it, he could completely confine and grow the kudzu. Because of this idea, Sejun had allowed Kkuenge to grow the kudzu.

Sejun moved to the detoxifying green onion field where the poisonous potatoes were planted.

“Huh?! Why is this color like this?”

Sejun said, looking at the detoxifying green onions planted around the poisonous potatoes. The green onions near the poisonous potatoes were different. They were completely white, even the leaves.

Pluck.

Sejun pulled out one of the pure white green onions.

[You have harvested a powerful detoxifying green onion.]

[Your job experience has slightly increased.]

[Proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 7 has slightly increased.]

[You have gained 50 experience.]

“Powerful detoxifying green onion?”

Perhaps because it fought against the poison and strengthened its detoxification abilities, the name had the word ‘powerful’ attached to it.

“Shall we take a look?”

Sejun checked the harvested green onion.

[Powerful Detoxifying Green Onion]

A green onion that grew while absorbing plenty of nutrients inside the tower and has been constantly fighting against poison, so its detoxification ability is stronger than ordinary detoxifying green onions.

When consumed, it detoxifies toxins below A-grade for 1 hour.

When consumed, the liver’s detoxification function becomes active for 48 hours.

With prolonged consumption, you can awaken the talent: Immunity to All Poisons.

Grower: Tower Farmer Park Sejun

Expiration Date: 150 days

Grade: B+

“Oh! If I take it for a long time, I can get Immunity to All Poisons?!”

Crunch. Crunch.

Sejun immediately ate one of the powerful detoxifying green onions whole. The taste was not much different from ordinary green onions.

Pluck. Pluck.

Sejun, who had eaten the enhanced detoxifying green onion, took the remaining powerful detoxifying green onions.

Plop.

He carefully dug out the poisonous potatoes and transplanted them into prepared pots.

When he had transplanted all four pieces of the poisonous potatoes into pots,

[Green Tower 23rd Floor Land Document]

“Huh?! The Green Tower land document?!”

Sejun found the land document that had fallen on the floor of the green onion field. Brachio, not giving up, sent another land document. This time, it was enchanted with magic that automatically unfolded the land document if someone was within a 1-meter radius.

But,

“Aileen, there’s a Green Tower land document here.”

Sejun, knowing he wasn’t very important, knew his place and didn’t even go near the land document, immediately telling Aileen about it.

[The Tower Manager says not to worry, as they will handle the Green Tower land document themselves.]

The Tower Manager knew that they couldn’t move to the land document, so Aileen spoke loudly and confidently.

“Okay. Then I’ll leave it to you. Earth Dragon.”

Sejun handed the Green Tower land document over to Aileen and called for Earth Dragon.

Gugung.

-Master, did you call?

At Sejun’s call, Earth Dragon quietly poked its head out.

“Yeah. Take me to the west forest.”

Sejun held the flower pots in his arms and climbed onto Earth Dragon’s head.

-Yes! I will serve you comfortably!

Gugugung!

Earth Dragon carried Sejun on its head and moved to the west forest.

Green Tower 78th Floor.

“Eek! Why do I have to do this?! Move faster!”

A giant green dragon grumbled as it rescued the animals on the verge of destruction. Ophelia, the tower farmer of the Green Tower, was suddenly deployed in place of Brachio, who had to attend the meeting.

“Alright. That’s all.”

As the animals entered the barrier Ophelia had created,

Kraaah!

Ophelia breathed towards the kudzu vines chasing the animals, completely blowing away the 78th floor of the tower.

Wham!

A wonderful herb garden that Kkuenge would have loved had disappeared.

“Kkuenge!”

Sejun, who had arrived in the west forest on Earth Dragon, called for Kkuenge.

Kku-ep? Kku-ep?

[Daddy, what’s wrong? Why did you come?]

Kkuenge, who was eating bitter kudzu roots, asked with a scowl.

“I’m going to plant these.”

Sejun showed the flower pots he was holding and got off Earth Dragon’s head.

And

Plop.

He dug into the ground and planted four pieces of the poisonous potatoes, one each in the east, west, south, and north directions, centered around where the corrupted ents had fallen.

“Still, I should test if it works, just in case.”

Sejun picked one of the kudzu fruits nearby and planted it around the poisonous potatoes.

Then,

[You have planted kudzu in poisonous land.]

[The kudzu has been contaminated by the poison and withered.]

The kudzu fruit quickly shriveled up. It was as he expected.

“Alright.”

Sejun, pleased that he had confirmed that the kudzu could not propagate, picked up Miller’s hoe.

And

Plop.

[You have planted 1020 seeds of detoxifying green onions in mana-infused land.]

[Your job experience has slightly increased.]

[The detoxifying green onion seeds are listening to the farmer’s footsteps, strengthening the effect of Mana Seed Sowing Lv. 7.]

[Due to the effect of Mana Seed Sowing Lv. 7, the growth rate of the detoxifying green onion seeds will be doubled for 24 hours.]

[Proficiency in Mana Seed Sowing Lv. 7 has slightly increased.]

He began planting detoxifying green onions at a slightly farther distance. This was to prevent the poison in the ground from spreading around.

As he was planting the detoxifying green onions to surround the area,

…

..

.

[Proficiency in Mana Seed Sowing Lv. 7 has been filled, and the level has increased.]

The skill level of Mana Seed Sowing, his skill for planting seeds with magic, increased.

“Finished.”

As Sejun returned after planting all the detoxifying green onions,

Kku-ep! Kku-ep!

[Daddy, here are kudzu roots! You must be hungry from working, so eat them!]

Kkuenge, who had been digging up kudzu roots while Sejun was planting the detoxifying green onions, handed Sejun 10 blue kudzu roots.

“Thank you. Kkuenge, have some honey jelly too.”

Sejun, feeling sorry for eating alone, handed Kkuenge some honey jelly.

Kku-ep!

[Thank you, Daddy!]

Kkuenge, holding the honey jelly Sejun gave him, was grateful.

“Come here. Sit next to me and let’s eat together.”

Sejun, noticing that Kkuenge wasn’t coming close because of what happened yesterday, picked Kkuenge up and placed him next to his bottom.

“Here, eat up.”

Pat. Pat.

Sejun patted Kkuenge’s butt.

Kweeeng…

[Kkuenge is happy….]

Kkuenge was tearful. He was touched by Sejun’s unchanging kindness despite his own mistakes. Kkuenge awakened as an even more filial son.

But,

‘Is he crying because he can’t eat the honey-flavored kudzu roots? Still, I have to keep my promise…’

Sejun, thinking that Kkuenge was crying because he couldn’t eat the honey-flavored kudzu roots, was worried.

Crunch. Crunch.

Sejun, lost in thought, chewed on the honey-flavored kudzu roots, not even properly tasting them, and raised all his stat potentials by 50.

The next morning.

“Oof!”

Sejun got up and went outside.

“Huh?!”

A bunch of grapes was hanging on the grape vine. Sejun hurriedly ran to the grape vine and picked the bunch of grapes.

[You have harvested 32 seedless grapes for beginners.]

[Your job experience has slightly increased.]

[Proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 7 has slightly increased.]

[You have gained 1600 experience.]

He picked one bunch of grapes, but the message indicated that he had harvested 32 grapes.

“Oho! Grapes!”

Sejun took a deep breath of the grape scent and picked up one grape to examine it.

[Seedless Grapes for Beginners]

Seedless grapes improved to strengthen the body of a beginner.

Every time you eat one grape, all stats increase by 1.

Grower: Tower Farmer Park Sejun

Expiration Date: 150 days

Grade: A

A very simple explanation.

“Hehehe. Shall we taste it first?”

Sejun put the fragrant grape in his mouth and squeezed the grape skin to suck in only the pulp.

And

[You have consumed seedless grapes for beginners.]

[All stats have increased by 1.]

Stats rising as explained.

But,

“Ugh! Who did this?!!!”

Sejun frowned and raged after tasting the grape. It wasn’t the grape flavor Sejun had expected.

“Who improved the grapes like this?!”

The grapes were incredibly sour.
