Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 249

Iona stayed with Pyoopyoo, who was waiting for the Black Rabbit (a rabbit who solves mysteries) to return to the White Castle after chasing a murder case. It wasn’t clear what the murder case was about, but Pyoopyoo seemed concerned.

However,

“Pyoopyoopyoo. Guess what happened then?”

While chatting, they completely forgot why they were waiting for the Black Rabbit and became lost in their conversation.

They talked and talked. They forgot about time. They chatted all night, had breakfast, and even lunch while gossiping.

The Black Rabbit, having solved the murder case thanks to Sejun, came to find Pyoopyoo.

And

“Pyoopyoo!”

The two went to sleep together, as friendly as could be.

“Pyoopyoopyoo. I should go to sleep too.”

Left alone, Iona decided to find Theo to sleep near him.

“Pyoopyoopyoo. That way, I believe.”

Iona followed the signal of the tracking magic she had placed on Theo in advance, just in case she needed to find him quickly later.

“Pyoopyoopyoo. I see Theo over there!”

She spotted Theo in the distance, selling sweet potatoes to a large crowd.

“Pyoopyoopyoo. I need to hurry and go to sleep!”

Feeling sleepy, Iona quickly flew towards him, her little wings beating fast.

At that moment,

“Pyooh?! This is very strong power! Oh no, what’s happening? It feels dangerous! Sejun is in danger! Power of magic, by my command, block all impact! Force Shield!”

Iona felt a tremendous power surging nearby. She realized that the power was coming from Kkueng, who Sejun was holding. She quickly cast a spell to protect Sejun.

Fortunately, before Kkueng’s power could explode, a round shield formed around Kkueng’s body.

Kkueeeeng!

At the same time, Kkueng stretched greatly.

Sejun’s life was saved by a split second. If she had been just a little later, it would have been a real disaster.

And

Suddenly, a blinding red light burst from Kkueng. It was so bright, it hurt Iona’s eyes, like staring directly at the sun.

The red energy was fired with wild power.

Iona didn’t have enough time to complete a strong enough spell to completely block Kkueng’s power. She cleverly made a hole in the top of the Force Shield, guiding Kkueng’s power to the sky, and the result was successful.

Thanks to that, she was able to stop Kkueng’s wild power without any damage.

Well, there was a little damage.

“Chairman Park, wake up, meow!”

Sejun, who was close to Kkueng, fainted from the shockwave that was blasted into the sky. Once again, he was saved by the Black Dragon tattoo.

“That was dangerous, meow!”

Theo used the Black Dragon’s scale he had to tattoo Sejun’s body.

Slap. Slap.

He slapped Sejun’s face with his front paws, healing the unconscious Sejun. It was clear that Theo’s slaps were healing slaps, not just normal slaps.

Slap. Slap.

There was a clear sound as if he was slapping him, but it was the sound of healing.

Slap. Slap.

“Ugh…”

Sejun woke up feeling something hitting his face. What’s that annoying sound? And why does my face hurt?

Slap. Slap.

“Chairman Park, are you awake, meow?!”

Theo, who was healing Sejun, said in a welcoming voice when Sejun regained consciousness.

“Yeah. But why did I faint… Ah! What about Kkueng?!”

Sejun, remembering the moment before he fainted, quickly got up and looked around.

He could see Kkueng floating about 1 meter above the ground, emitting a faint red light.

Judging by the fact that he was snoring, it didn’t seem like a dangerous situation.

“Is Kkueng okay?”

“Pyoopyoopyoo. Yes. He’s in a deep sleep to adapt to the sudden increase in power. He’ll be fine as long as you don’t touch him,” Iona chirped. She explained that Sejun shouldn’t touch Kkueng because of the power.

“Is that so? That’s a relief.”

“Pyoopyoopyoo. Still, this place is dangerous, so it would be best to return to White Castle!”

“Is that so? But how do I move Kkueng? You said I can’t touch him?”

“Pyoopyoopyoo. That’s very easy. He’ll follow you on his own when you move.”

“Huh? What does that mean?”

“Pyoopyoopyoo. Just try moving for now.”

What does she mean? Sejun didn’t understand what Iona was saying, but he moved as Iona told him to.

Kkueng followed Sejun. Even while sleeping, Kkueng unconsciously tried not to be separated from Sejun. Like a baby chick following its parent!

Thanks to that, it seemed like he could move Kkueng to White Castle as long as he went slowly so that Kkueng could follow.

“Then let’s go.”

Just as Sejun was about to take Kkueng and return to White Castle,

“Chairman Park, you go first, meow! I’m going to collect the money from Yuren and then go, meow!”

Theo said he would stay and collect Sejun’s money (Tower Coins, the money used in the Tower).

“Okay. I understand. Then I’ll go first.”

“Okay, meow! I’ll bring a lot of money, meow!”

“Don’t overdo it.”

As Sejun left,

“Yuren, wake up, meow! Give me the money and go back to sleep, meow!”

Slap. Slap.

Theo slapped Yuren’s face with his front paw, using his healing skill again.

“Is he following well?”

Sejun, heading to White Castle, turned around to check if Kkueng was following well.

Kkueng was still following well.

“This is really amazing.”

He was definitely sleeping, but he followed well behind him.

“Hehe. But our Kkueng is really cute.”

Sejun said, looking at Kkueng, who was fast asleep. He was always cute, but he was cutest when he was sleeping.

“Ah. I want to touch him.”

He wanted to touch Kkueng’s chubby cheeks… but it was too bad he couldn’t.

Sejun headed to White Castle, checking from time to time whether Kkueng was following well.

Coco, who had gone to the Black Rabbit and was returning to Sejun, found Sejun and ran over.

“Oh. Did you deliver the land documents to the Black Rabbit safely?”

Coco handed Sejun a land document.

[Land Document for the 80th Floor of the Purple Tower]

“This is a land document for the Purple Tower?”

[It was mixed in with the Black Tower land documents! The King said that the mastermind behind this incident is the Purple Tower and asked Mr. Sejun to take revenge!]

The land documents are important because they give Sejun the right to control the land.

“Okay. Leave it to me.”

Daring to attack the Black Tower, Sejun thought he should show the Purple Tower what he was made of.

And the Purple Tower land document…

[To move items weighing 100kg or less from the Black Tower to the White Tower, a tower-to-tower transportation fee of 1 million Tower Coins is required.]

[Would you like to proceed with tower-to-tower transportation?]

“Yes.”

He sent it to Ajax.

“Go! Ajax! Blow it all away with your breath!”

Sejun ordered Ajax to attack strongly the 80th floor of the Purple Tower with his breath.

A tavern in Rabbit City on the 55th floor of the Tower.

“Is it really true that the Golden Cat Theo, a subordinate of the Black Dragon, is coming here for this wedding?”

“That’s right! The Black Rabbit’s eldest brother who is getting married this time is the Golden Cat Theo. Of course, he’ll come.”

“That’s right! I came here after hearing that rumor.”

Five monsters were drinking and talking in the tavern.

They were here on behalf of the waypoint bosses of five floors in the 50th floor range who wanted to receive the Dragon Tooth Soldier Helmet given by the great Black Dragon.

“But will Theo even meet us?”

“That’s why I prepared this.”

One of the monsters placed a heavy money bag on the table.

At that moment,

“Is it true?! Is a subordinate of the Black Dragon here?!”

A being wearing tattered robes and sitting quietly approached them and asked.

Slap. Slap.

Yuren, who had fainted from Theo’s healing, began to regain consciousness.

“Yuren, are you awake, meow?”

“Yes… Did Theo wake me up? Thank you.”

“You should be honored to receive my healing, meow! Let’s hurry up and settle the bill, meow!” Theo’s eyes gleamed like gold coins.

“Settle the bill? Ah! Of course! Creta!”

Yuren, regaining his senses, quickly called Creta, the vice-leader of the Madas Merchant Guild, which he operated.

“Yes. Did you call me?”

Creta approached at Yuren’s call.

“Perfect timing, meow! Chairman Park won, so give me the money, meow!”

Theo said, looking at Creta and holding out his front paw. Creta was the salesperson who negotiated with Sejun and wrote the contract.

“Yes. I never thought Mr. Yuren would lose… Here are 20,000 Tower Coins.”

Creta took the money out of his pouch and handed it to Theo.

“The cost of the ingredients you provided is, of course…”

He calculated the cost of the carrots and sweet potatoes that had come out of Sejun’s subspace warehouse.

“Here is 5 million Tower Coins for the ingredients.”

With the calculation for the ingredients also finished, Creta went back to clean up the Food Fighter arena.

Theo said to Yuren, his eyes gleaming. He was very interested in making more money.

“Other calculations?” Yuren asked with a confused look.

“That’s right, meow! First, give me the Food Fighter winning prize, meow!”

At Theo’s words, Yuren looked at Theo with a confused look. Mr. Sejun already took the prize.

“That wasn’t a prize, but something that was inevitably lost (?) in the process of saving Yuren’s life, meow! So, put out a new prize, meow!”

Theo, who had taken two good items, was stimulated by seeing Sejun’s excellent performance.

“My brother Kkueng is a very ferocious guy, meow! He’ll be angry if he finds out he won but there’s no winning prize, meow!”

He demanded a prize, making threats.

“Ah. That could be true.”

Yuren was easily persuaded by Theo’s logic, which was close to forceful demand. As expected, Theo was considered an easy target. Yuren was a bit naive.

“I don’t have a prize right now… then how about this…”

Yuren said, touching the giant plates next to him.

From the spot where Yuren’s front paw touched, the plate began to turn golden.

“How did you do that, meow?!”

Theo asked in surprise.

“I have a talent called Madas’s Hand, which can turn the weight I’ve eaten into gold.”

An incredible talent to create gold. But as a reaction to that, great misfortune also follows.

So, Yuren usually kept beings with strong luck around him to offset his misfortune.

“You have such a talent, meow?!”

“Yes. Here you go.”

Yuren answered and handed Theo 10 giant plates. The gold plates were as heavy as stones.

“Yuren, give me a few more gold plates, meow!”

Theo said to Yuren as he put the gold plates in his bundle.

“Yes.”

Yuren easily made gold plates again.

And Theo watched that.

“All questions answered, meow!”

Only then did Theo understand Yuren. How Yuren, with his terrible luck and poor business skills, became a great merchant.

‘Yuren was just a rich pig, meow!’

Being a great merchant was a hobby, and Yuren was originally just rich.

“Yuren, I look forward to working with you, meow!”

Theo said, putting his arm around Yuren’s shoulder in a friendly manner.

“Yes! I want to get close to you too, Theo!”

Yuren, who wanted to be close to Theo, who offset his strong misfortune, answered happily.

A golden front paw that calls luck and a golden front paw that creates gold. No one knew what changes this meeting would bring to the Black Tower.

But that was a matter for later.

“Yuren, make 10 more gold plates, meow! If you make 10 gold plates, I’ll give you one of these, meow!”

Theo said, taking out a Black Dragon’s scale and showing it to Yuren.

“What is that?”

“If you have this, you can overcome a life-threatening crisis once, meow! Thanks to this, the weak Chairman Park has saved his life several times, meow! It will be helpful to a guy with no luck like you, Yuren, meow!”

“Really?! I’ll buy 10 of those!”

“Then give me 100 gold plates, meow!”

“Yes!”

Theo filled his bundle with gold by selling the Food Fighter competition prize and even the Black Dragon scales. Theo’s eyes gleamed like gold coins.

Theo ran to White Castle, humming excitedly, thinking of Sejun, who would be happy to see the gold.
