Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 243

Iona was about to explode with anger.

Theo, trying to calm her down, gently wrapped his front paws around Iona, who was clinging to his tail, and brought her in front of him.

Iona looked into Theo’s eyes, just inches away.

“Kyup?!” she squeaked, surprised by Theo’s sudden action, unsure whether to be angry or amused.

Theo stroked Iona’s head and said, “Iona, it’s okay if you don’t like Mimir, nya!”

Iona’s anger lessened a little as Theo stroked her.

“Thinking about it, Mimir is obsessed with his fur, nya!” Theo muttered.

Theo thought Mimir looked messy. It was Theo’s fault because he wasn’t good at grooming.

Mimir wasn’t there to hear Theo, so he didn’t know Theo was talking about him.

“Kyu-That’s right! Mimir does have some fur power,” Iona agreed.

Iona became much less angry.

As the mood improved, Sejun changed the subject. “Iona, but where is the Theoball?” he asked. The Theoball, which she always carried, was nowhere to be seen.

“Theoball? Kyung-kyung. That’s… the Apostle of Destruction came and…,” Iona said sadly.

“That’s good. I’ll give you a newly made Theoball,” Sejun offered.

“Kyu-kyu-kyu. Really?!” Iona asked, delighted.

“Yes. Here,” Sejun said, taking out Theoball No. 2, which he had made, and gave it to Iona.

“Kyu-kyu-kyu. Thank you. I’ll give you this,” Iona said, handing Sejun 50 white coins she had gotten from the Apostle of Destruction fragment, and put the Theoball in her subspace pocket.

Iona clung to Theo’s tail again. As much as she liked the Theoball, it wasn’t the same as the real thing.

“Shall we take a look around the city?” Sejun asked, wanting to keep the good mood going before Theo ruined it with nonsense.

Kkueng!

[Kkuengi wants to see the city too!]

Kkuengi immediately clung to Sejun’s leg.

“If Chairman Park goes, I’ll go too, nya!” Theo said, also clinging to Sejun’s leg.

“Okay. Let’s go.”

“Let’s go, nya!”

Kkueng!

[Going to play!]

Sejun and the animals left White Castle and headed to Rabbit City.

The Black Rabbit arrived at the scene, but couldn’t find any evidence. The missing person had disappeared without a trace. There was no record of them leaving the city, and no body was found.

Besides, nothing seemed to be missing. If the party hadn’t reported it, no one would have known about the disappearance.

Ppak?

[Why on earth?]

People were suddenly disappearing.

If this became known, the Red Ribbon Kingdom would be shamed for having poor security so soon after its founding. That would be a huge blow to the kingdom.

This incident had to be solved before the founding ceremony and wedding. It was no exaggeration to say that the fate of the country was at stake.

But there were very few clues. There was no connection between the missing people, and they had nothing in common.

Just then, the Black Rabbit overheard a soldier asking the missing person’s son for more information.

Ppak?

[Were there any items that disappeared when your father disappeared?]

“Ukki. Ukki!”

[No. Ah… the land document!]

Ppak? Ppak?

[Land document? What land document?]

“Ukki.”

[It’s the land document for the grapefruit tree farm on the 73rd floor of the tower, which has been managed by the family for generations.]

Ppak?!

[Land document?!]

The Black Rabbit suddenly understood something important. That was it! He thought nothing had been stolen, but he hadn’t realized the culprit had stolen the land document.

Ppak!

[Find out if the other missing people had land documents!]

Ppak!

[Yes!]

The Black Rabbit quickly gave instructions to the soldier next to him.

The Black Rabbit was worried about Sejun.

Sejun took a few steps out of the castle.

Kyurorong.

Iona was snoring. Once she had Sejun’s lap and Theo’s tail, she fell asleep almost instantly.

As he walked towards the city, listening to Iona’s snoring, shops began to appear.

“Oh! Weapons! Clothes!” Sejun exclaimed.

It had been almost a year since he entered the tower, and Sejun was excited about his first shopping trip.

“This sword is cool,” Sejun said.

Ppaet! Ppaet….

[You have a good eye! If I may say so myself, this sword is….]

The gray rabbit merchant began to explain enthusiastically.

Kkueng!

[Kkuengi wants to see the sword too!]

Kkuengi showed interest in the sword Sejun was holding.

“Do you want to?” Sejun asked, handing the sword to Kkuengi.

Kkueng!

[Kkuengi will test if it’s strong enough for Daddy to use!]

Kkuengi bent the sword in half to test its strength.

Clang.

Kkueng!

[This sword is too weak!]

Kkuengi said, breaking the sword too easily. It wasn’t that the sword was weak, but that Kkuengi was strong.

Perhaps no matter what sword he brought, it wouldn’t pass Kkuengi’s strength test.

Ppaet… Ppaet….

[That can’t be… It was made with very expensive materials….]

The gray rabbit was shocked that the sword he made broke so easily.

“I’m sorry. I’ll pay for the sword,” Sejun said, feeling bad for crushing the gray rabbit’s dreams and hopes, and paid twice the price of the sword.

Ppaet! Ppaet!

[Thank you! I’ll make a stronger sword next time!]

The gray rabbit regained his motivation to make a good sword.

Ppaet! Ppaet!

[Goodbye! Come again!]

Sejun entered another store.

“Oh! Armor is cool!”

“I, Vice Chairman Theo, will test the armor that Chairman Park will wear, nya!”

Shwaak!

Theo tore the armor to shreds with his dragon claws.

“Oh! A shield!”

Kkueng!

[Kkuengi will see if it’s strong!]

The shopping continued with Sejun paying for items as Theo and Kkuengi destroyed them, saying they would test their strength.

The items cost around 10,000 tower coins, so it wasn’t too expensive. Sejun thought they were just playing and continued to look around the store.

As he entered the downtown area, paying for the destroyed items, he heard a loud cheer.

Moo!

“Waaaaah!”

The Black Minotaur was crying out.

Leto was checking the land document detector to find a new target. He was surprised to see a huge signal appear.

It was the biggest signal he had ever seen. How many land documents did this person have?

“Where is it?” Leto wondered, hurrying towards the signal.

Leto found the animals clinging to Sejun, who was looking around the store.

“But who has the land document? Cat? Bear? Hamster? Bat?” Leto wondered, confused.

Besides, they were all strong.

“I can’t do it,” Leto realized, quickly retreating.

Sejun was looking at the shops, surrounded by the much bigger and louder animals. Leto, focused on the animals, didn’t even see Sejun.

“What is it?” Sejun asked.

Sejun walked towards the sound, but he couldn’t see anything because of the crowd.

“Mr. Sejun! Hello!” someone called from behind.

“Huh? You guys are…” Sejun turned and saw the Black Oaks. They had also come to participate in the Black Rabbit’s wedding.

“If you want to watch the competition, we will guide you to a good seat! Get out of the way! Mr. Sejun has arrived!” The Black Oaks led Sejun to where the Black Minotaur and Black Oaks were gathered.

As he went to the front row, he saw Umawang and Uruchi sitting there happily.

Moo?!

“Mr. Sejun?!”

“What are you doing here?” Sejun asked.

Moo!

[I’m eating.]

Chuck.

Umawang pointed forward.

“Over there?” Sejun looked and saw the Black Minotaurs, Black Oaks, and many others eating carrot dishes.

Crunch. Crunch.

“Yes! Player number 128 has almost emptied his 101st plate! Staff members, please bring the next plate quickly!”

Pigs were carrying food.

In front of them was a huge banner that read: “Food Fighter Selection.”

The Black Minotaurs and Black Oaks were using the Food Fighter Selection as a restaurant. It made sense, as they could save a lot of food by eating like this.

“Food Fighter Selection?” Sejun thought of Kkuengi.

Kkueng!

[Daddy, Kkuengi wants to eat that too!]

Kkuengi was already drooling and burning with fighting spirit.

But the competition was already underway.

“I don’t think I can enter now…,” Sejun said, looking at Kkuengi.

Beep!

“The third preliminary round is over! The fourth preliminary round will begin soon. If you want to participate, please come out!” the host announced.

Moo!

“Waaaaah!”

The qualifiers shouted. It was the sound Sejun had heard earlier.

“Kkuengi, let’s go!” Sejun said, taking Theo off his leg.

“Nyaang? Chairman Park, aren’t you taking me, nya?” Theo asked.

“Wait a minute. I’ll be right back,” Sejun said, leaving Theo behind and taking a seat next to Kkuengi, as he could be accused of cheating if he took Theo to the competition.

A little later, the host announced, “We will set up the food.”

Food began to appear on the plates.

“Then, we will start the fourth preliminary round! Start!”

The participants began to eat quickly. Sejun and Kkuengi also hurried to eat.

Kkuhehehe. Kkueng!

[Hehehe. It’s delicious!]

Kkuengi ate as if it was the first time he had ever eaten.

Burp.

Sejun quickly reached his limit.

“Vitality.”

[You have used Vitality Lv. 1.]

[Quickly digests the food in the stomach.]

[The value of all stats increases by 1% for 30 minutes.]

Sejun used his skill to digest the food.

Sejun, with room to eat again, began to eat.

The host explained the schedule: “Those who have passed the preliminary round must get a ticket to participate in the main round held at noon tomorrow.”

“The CEO, Yuren, will participate in the competition himself in the main round, and the winner who beats Yuren will receive a huge reward, so please participate.”

Yuren? Was he talking about the pink pig, the pushover Yuren, that Theo mentioned? There were only three CEOs, so it seemed likely.

Theo also heard Yuren’s name.

“Puhuhut. As expected, Yuren is unlucky, nya!” Theo said.

He would lose to Kkuengi in the food fight competition, and if he met Sejun, he would be robbed even more than before.

“I wonder how he became a CEO, nya!” Theo said, thinking about Yuren, who was always unlucky. For Theo, who was always lucky, it was a mystery.
