Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 284

Floor 44 of the Tower was a cold place of metal and echoing sounds.

“Is it really true?” one Blue Penguin cried, flapping his wings in excitement.

“Yes,” another penguin replied. “We are planning a special event for Sejun.”

As soon as the Blue Penguins heard that Han Taejun and Kim Dongshik were preparing an event for Sejun, they rushed forward.

“We will help!” one penguin chirped.

“Yes, let us help too!” another agreed.

The Blue Penguins were eager to be involved. If they somehow ruined Sejun’s event… they would be in terrible trouble!

So, the Blue Penguin tribe hurriedly asked the surrounding animals for help.

Just then, the Silver Wolf tribe arrived. They were coming from Floor 41. They were on their way to give sturdy scallion swords and detoxifying scallions to the Earth Defense Force hunters, the group protecting our world. They heard the call and rushed over.

“Get on. We’ll take you to the meeting point,” said Elka, the chief of the Silver Wolf tribe.

Two Silver Wolves behind him knelt in front of Han Taejun and Kim Dongshik.

“Really?!” Han Taejun exclaimed.

“It’s for Sejun.”

“Yes. We’re only giving you a ride this once,” Elka added.

Han Taejun was surprised by the Silver Wolves’ response. They were solitary wolves. He had met them and become quite close, but the Silver Wolves had never given them a ride before.

In fact, one hunter had secretly tried to ride on a Silver Wolf’s back and almost had his arm cut off by the Silver Wolf’s fury.

The Silver Wolves, who wouldn’t give their backs to anyone, were willingly offering them for Sejun’s sake. Once again, he was astonished by Sejun’s immense influence.

With the help of the Silver Wolves, Han Taejun and Kim Dongshik arrived at the meeting point and left for the first floor of the Tower.

“You guys, hurry and tell the other monsters that Sejun’s one-year anniversary event is in 4 days!” Elka instructed.

“Yes!” the wolves responded.

At Elka’s instruction, news of Sejun’s event began to spread widely.

“Heh heh heh. I’ll help, meow! Leave it to me!” Theo declared.

As Theo was about to take out the contract from his bag at Bbyot’s request,

Chirp!

“[Great one, we respect you!]” the birds cried.

Kyao!

“[Elder, you’re amazing!]”

Cuckoo!

“[We’re sorry for not recognizing you!]”

Bbyot!

“[Theo, you’re really amazing!]” Bbyot looked at Theo with admiration, thinking that Theo had subdued the birds with his eyes. As expected of Theo!

However,

“Meow?” Theo hadn’t done anything yet.

“Heh heh heh. That’s right! I, Vice President Theo, am amazing!” Bbyot’s flattery momentarily flustered him, but he immediately took credit for everything. It’s all thanks to me!

Bbyot! Bbyot!

“[That’s right! Theo is amazing!]”

So, Bbyot thought the birds respected him because of Theo, and Theo naturally thought everything was resolved because of him.

However,

‘Amazing! To be on the foot of the owner of the Mother Tree!’

‘I want to go up like that bird!’

‘I’m so jealous!’

The reason the birds respected Bbyot was because Bbyot was on the foot of Sejun, the owner of the Mother Tree who had given birth to them.

Not knowing this, Bbyot took a spot on Sejun’s right foot, as close to Theo as possible, and

‘Heh heh heh. That’s right. Kids, I’m Theo’s next right forepaw!’

He enjoyed the respectful gazes the birds were sending him.

And

Bbyot! Bbyot!

“[Follow me! I’ll guide you home!]”

Once all the birds were born, Bbyot led about 100 birds and flew to Avro, the capital of the Cove.

As the birds left following Bbyot,

[The new Mother Tree has conceived and hatched a bird.]

[The Manager Quest has been completed in a different way.]

[The reward for the excellent result is doubled.]

[You have acquired 2 million experience points as a quest completion reward.]

[You have acquired 1 million Tower Coins as a quest completion reward.]

A message appeared in front of Sejun, indicating that he had completed the Manager Quest.

“Okay, everyone, let’s get ready to go back,” Sejun said.

Sejun prepared to leave as all the quests were completed.

“Flame, let’s go.”

As Sejun carefully pulled Flame, who was buried in the ground, out of the ground,

“No, meow! We have to follow Bbyot there!” Theo opposed Sejun’s words and confidently pointed to Avro, the capital of the Cove, with his forepaw. Heh heh heh. I have something to receive from Louis!

It was time for rewards.

Black Tower Management Area.

“It’s done!!!” Aileen, who had finally finished the magic engraving on Kai-La’s heart fragment, cheered with joy, raising her hands in the air.

“Heh heh heh. It finished earlier than I thought,” she said.

Aileen, stimulated by Sejun’s exceeding achievements, increased her work speed. Thanks to that, she finished the work half a day earlier than planned.

The process of activating the magic was the only thing left, but it was not a difficult process, just time-consuming.

Nom nom.

While Aileen was eating the Elixir Cherry Tomatoes to recover her magic power for the magic activation,

Voom.

The crystal ball, which notified the situation of the Black Tower, vibrated.

Nom.

“What is it?” Aileen, who was eating the Elixir Cherry Tomatoes, checked the notification and saw

[The Intermediate Manager has completed the quest with excellent results.]

[Contribution is doubled.]

[You have acquired 20 million contribution points.]

The message appeared.

“Heh heh heh. Our Sejun did it again?! How much contribution do I have?” Aileen began to look at the abilities she could give to Sejun with the accumulated contribution points.

The abilities Aileen was looking at now were special abilities. Special abilities could only be bought with contribution points and could not be shown to Sejun.

>Ability: Exile>

Exiles the target from the Tower.

“Hehing. This won’t work because it consumes too much magic power if the opponent is strong.”

If used incorrectly, Sejun could die from magic depletion.

“Then what about this…” Aileen looked at the next ability.

>Ability: Ruler of the Floor>

Appoints the target as the ruler of the floor.

“This is… ambiguous.”

It was safe, but useless. You can just push the boss with force and appoint a new boss.

“Next is…”

>Ability: Never-ending Magic Power>

Forcibly implants a mana stream into the body so that magic power never runs out.

“Hehing. I don’t think Sejun’s body can handle this.”

The word ‘forcibly’ seemed very dangerous. Implanting a mana stream could conversely sweep him away and cause him to disappear without a trace.

Aileen looked through the abilities.

“Oh! This is good!” Aileen found an ability that she liked.

>Ability: Extra Life>

Stores 10% of the possessed life force in the Life Bead every day.

If you fill the Life Bead, you get an extra life.

You can create up to 3 Life Beads.

An ability that can store life force like a battery.

“Heng? Why haven’t I seen this until now?” Aileen, who enjoyed shopping for abilities to give to Sejun whenever she was bored, tilted her head.

There was no way she, the great Black Dragon, could forget something she had seen once. It felt like it suddenly popped up.

“Whatever, it’s helpful to Sejun. Heh heh heh. Sejun, receive the ability!” Aileen used her contribution points to gift Sejun >Ability: Extra Life>.

Kkueng!

“[We’re leaving now!]” The giant Kkueng, who had grown to a size of 10m, said while floating in the air in a Superman pose.

And Sejun, Theo, and Flame were riding on Kkueng’s back.

The Golden Bat had disappeared somewhere again, but he was probably following along well.

As Sejun and the animals were flying to Rainbow Castle, the royal castle of the Cove Kingdom,

[The Tower’s administrator grants >Ability: Extra Life> to the Tower’s Intermediate Manager’s mark.]

[You have acquired 1 Extra Life.]

The ability that Aileen had carefully chosen was granted to the Black Dragon tattoo on Sejun’s right hand.

1 Extra Life was the basic option given when acquiring the first ability.

“Huh? Extra Life?” Sejun hurriedly examined the ability.

“If I store 10% of my life force in the Life Bead and fill it, I get an extra life?” According to this explanation, it meant that one more extra life would be created. It was an amazing ability.

At that moment,

“Heh heh heh. Kkueng, increase the speed!” Theo, excited at the thought of quickly giving Sejun the item he had found and receiving praise, urged Kkueng.

Kkueng!

“[Understood!]”

Kkueng began to accelerate, increasing the output of his mind power.

Bang!

Kkueng quickly broke the sound barrier and flew.

“Ugh!” Sejun quickly closed his mouth at the fierce wind.

Wham!

In the meantime, Kkueng broke the supersonic speed and

Wham wham!

Around the time he reached incredibly fast, faster than sound itself, Kkueng arrived at Rainbow Castle.

[>Ability: Unbreakable Body> is activated.]

[Magic power is consumed to protect the body from breaking.]

[Magic power is severely lacking.]

[Dragon Race Skill – Dragon Scale is activated.]

[The scale of the great Black Dragon Kaiser is destroyed.]

[1 Extra Life has been consumed.]

As a price for experiencing incredibly fast, faster than sound itself, one of Kaiser’s scales and one extra life saved Sejun and disappeared without a trace.

“My life…” Sejun said with regret.

While Sejun was regretting the loss of his extra life and was about to engrave the Black Dragon tattoo on his left arm again,

“President Park, it’s that way!” Theo grabbed Sejun’s pant leg and urged him.

“Okay.” Sejun and the animals followed Theo, wandering around Rainbow Castle without any hesitation.

All the birds inside Rainbow Castle had left to attend the Mother Tree’s funeral, so the castle was empty.

At that moment,

“Move quickly! There’s no time!” A loud voice was heard from afar.

“What?” Theo exclaimed.

The sound was coming from the direction he was heading.

‘Those guys! That’s mine! I’m going to give it to President Park!’ Theo rushed over, worried that the item he was going to give to Sejun might disappear!

“Vice President Theo, let’s go together,” Sejun said.

Sejun followed Theo.

“Hurry! Pack it up quickly!” An ostrich shouted at gray rats about 1m in size inside the treasure room of the Cove Kingdom.

The giant rats were a race called the Giant Gray Mouse, and the entire race earned money by working under the name of the Styx Mercenaries, which took on illegal requests.

And the ostrich commanding them was Venus, the priestess who served the tree and the client of the Styx Mercenaries.

“To think the Mantis Queen would die so easily…” Venus muttered.

Venus, the priestess of the tree, who always hated the Mother Tree for not giving her the ability to fly, made an agreement with the Mantis Queen and helped the Mantis Queen steal the power of the Mother Tree.

The price of the agreement was for her to have the Cove Kingdom’s wealth, but the Mantis Queen’s death messed things up.

‘There’s no time. Soon the funeral will be over, and while cleaning up the Mother Tree’s ashes, the secret passage connected to my room will be discovered.’

The only opportunity was today, when all the birds were away for the Mother Tree’s funeral.

So, Venus hurriedly called the Styx Mercenaries, made a contract, and was robbing the treasure room.

However,

“You guys stop!”

There was already someone who had claimed that treasure as their own.

“Haa! Haa!”

That’s all mine! I’m going to give it to President Park! Theo threatened the rats moving the treasure with hissing.

Squeak! Squeak!

The rats hurriedly called their comrades at Theo’s hissing.

Rumble.

More than 1000 rats ran out of the treasure room, emitting a stench.

A rat in front of a cat.

However, things change when there are more than 1000 rats.

Squeak! Squeak!

The rats confidently approached Theo, believing in their numbers.

And

“Heh heh heh. How dare you challenge me, Golden Cat Theo Park?”

Swish.

Just as Theo was about to pull out his Dragon Claw and quickly swing it at the rats,

Squeak!

Flutter.

The rats waved dirty rags that were originally supposed to be white flags and surrendered. Things are very different if the opponent is a Golden Cat.
