Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 299

Sejun used his ‘Crop Gigantification’ skill on the roasted sweet potatoes and potatoes that Veronica had cooked.

And

[Crop Gigantification Lv. 6 proficiency slightly increases.]

[Crop Gigantification Lv. 6 proficiency is full, and the level increases.]

The skill level rose just as Sejun was about to finish gigantifying all the roasted sweet potatoes and potatoes Veronica had made.

“Good.”

Happy with the level increase, Sejun used the skill again.

While Sejun and the mushroom ants were setting up the food,

“Ooki!”

The banana monkeys working at the brewery opened the Samyangju and poured it into bottles.

“Ooki!”

“Ooki!”

The banana monkeys who came up from the 77th floor of the tower helped set up the drinks by moving the Samyangju.

A short while later,

“Finished!”

The food and drinks for the party were all set up.

As the party preparations finished,

Thud. Thud.

Wooma Wang, the 1st in the ranking on the 99th floor, and Pink Fur, the 3rd, approached.

“Moo.”

[Sejun, get on.]

Wooma Wang approached and held out his palm.

“Okay.”

As Sejun climbed onto Wooma Wang’s palm,

Whoosh.

Wooma Wang brought his hand above his head,

Thump.

Sejun got off Wooma Wang’s palm and landed on his head.

“Puhuhu. I can see well, meow!”

“Kkuhehehe. Kkueng!”

[Hehehe. Kkueng can go higher than this!]

“Piyot!”

[Me too]

“Kkyu—Everyone, be quiet.”

Of course, the other animals were there too.

[Hehet.]

Even Fire.

As Sejun climbed onto Wooma Wang’s head,

“Kuaaaah!”

[Everyone, focus!]

Pink Fur, who was next to Wooma Wang, shouted loudly, drawing attention.

“Pink Fur, thank you.”

Sejun thanked Pink Fur and

“So many came.”

Looked at the million people watching him.

Attention focused, and a tremendous energy rushed towards Sejun, but

“Meow!”

Thanks to Theo’s talent of sucking up energy, he wasn’t intimidated at all. President Park, no need to be scared, meow! Vice President Theo will protect you, meow!

Sejun felt comfortable thanks to Theo.

“Iona, please cast a sound amplification spell.”

He asked Iona for magic,

“Kkyuk! Yes! By the winds, amplify his voice!”

Iona cast a spell on Sejun.

“Ah. Ah. Everyone, thank you for coming to my 1st anniversary of survival party!”

Sejun expressed his gratitude to those who participated in the party.

Most of them came with illegal invitations, but so many people came to his party…

‘Hehehe. I’m totally popular.’

Sejun felt proud and excited.

Sejun smiled. It had been a tough year in the tower, but looking at everyone enjoying themselves, he felt a surge of happiness.

“Everyone, eat your fill and enjoy the party! Let’s start the party!!!”

Excited by the party atmosphere, he shouted loudly to the million people who came to his party.

He would soon regret his words.

“Wow!!! Hail the Great Black Dragon!!!”

A tremendous cheer responded to Sejun’s shout.

“Hehehe.”

When Sejun smiled at the cheers directed at him,

“Puhuhu. This body is President Park’s right-hand man, meow!”

“Kkuhehehe. Kkueng!”

[Hehehe. Kkueng is Daddy’s son!]

Theo and Kkueng were also proud of the cheers for Sejun.

“Piyot!”

[I am Piyote, the right front paw yacht of the Golden Cat Theo Park, who is Sejun’s right-hand man!]

Piyot too.

As Sejun and the animals were feeling proud,

Munch.

Participants began to eat the food one by one.

Crunch. Crunch.

…!!!

“Kyaa!”

…!!!

Once they tasted it, they began to eat the food like crazy.

“What?”

“Is it good?”

Other participants, curious about their reaction, also ate the food,

…!!!

The food and drinks disappeared even faster.

And soon, the two crab shell pots were empty.

It was because he deliberately made the porridge bland and served salted shrimp as a side dish instead.

The taste of the bland porridge and the salty salted shrimp mixed in the mouth, creating a harmony that made it impossible to stop the spoon.

Of course, the situation was no different for the other foods. The food Sejun prepared quickly dwindled.

“I shouldn’t have told them to eat their fill…”

Sejun regretted what he had said as he watched the food disappear.

It would be simple to say that the prepared food had run out, but

“I said something…”

Sejun looked around, feeling a little panicked. He had promised a feast, but the food was almost gone!

Sejun wanted to keep his word.

“Aileen, please make a giant pot with these scales.”

Sejun gave Aileen the scales he had and asked for a giant pot to cook in.

[The Tower’s administrator says to leave it to them.]

Aileen replied and took 100 scales.

A short while later,

[The Tower’s administrator says they have completed the pot with the functions you desired.]

A pot with a deep black sheen that seemed to absorb the light appeared on Sejun’s palm.

A pot with a rough lid and handles on both sides.

But perhaps because the materials were good, or perhaps because it was simple, it had a simple yet powerful beauty.

“Not bad?”

Sejun looked at the pot with a satisfied expression.

[Black Pot]

A very sturdy pot made from the scales of the Great Black Dragons.

It cannot be broken by any strong force.

Upper-level fire magic is engraved, so the pot heats up by injecting magic power into the handle without fire.

The size can be adjusted as desired, and partitions can be created to divide the center of the pot. (Up to 8 divisions possible.)

Usage Restriction: Strength 500 or more, Magic Power 1000 or more

Creator: Aileen Fritani

Grade: Cannot be measured

“Huh?! It’s also engraved with fire magic?”

Sejun was puzzled. Fire magic was not in Sejun’s requirements.

[The Tower’s administrator says that the dragon scales cannot be heated without engraving fire magic.]

“Ah. That’s right.”

It was, after all, dragon scales. There was no way dragon scales would heat up if placed on ordinary fire.

“Thank you. Aileen is the best as always!”

Sejun said in a voice filled with admiration for Aileen.

If it weren’t for Aileen, he would have just ended up with a sturdy bowl.

“Good!”

Sejun, feeling good after getting new equipment, started cooking again.

“First, increase the size of the pot.”

Sejun placed the pot with the lid open on the ground and thought about the size he wanted,

Whoong.

It turned into a giant pot with a diameter of 100m and a depth of 10m.

“Since I have to make two kinds of food…”

Sejun touched the pot again and thought about the partition,

Clang.

A partition dividing the pot in half was erected.

“Good.”

Thwack.

Sejun jumped onto the handle of the pot, lowered his posture into a kneeling position, and

Thump.

Injected magic power into the handle with his right hand to raise the temperature of the pot while saying,

“Ice Cube.”

Sejun reached out with his left hand towards the large black pot, still hot from the fire. Ice magically appeared in his palm, cool and clear, and he dropped it into the pot with a *clink*.

*Sssssss!* The ice hissed as it met the heat, quickly melting into water. Steam rose in a white cloud, carrying the faint smell of the fire.

When the water level reached halfway up the pot, a sudden *poof* of white light surprised Sejun. A huge sack of the finest rice flour materialized beside him, so large it could probably feed the entire crowd. It seemed magic was helping him today.

*Whoosh!* Sejun heaved the heavy sack and poured the rice flour into the pot. A cloud of white dust puffed into the air, smelling warm and comforting, like freshly baked bread.

“Vice Chairman Te, here it comes!”

“Ora-nyang!”

Whoosh!

“Kkuengi, here it comes!”

Kkueng!

[Kkuengi is ready!]

Thud!

Sejun took out locusts and fish from his subspace warehouse and tossed them alternately to Theo and Kkuengi, one to each, on either side of the pot.

Seeing Sejun and Theo acting, Kkuengi thought they were playing without him and asked to be thrown things too.

Kkueng!

Thud!

Kkuengi, who didn’t have the ability to extend magic claws, pulverized the fish with telekinesis, so there was no need to mash the fish separately.

“Good.”

Once all the ingredients for the porridge were in,

“Kkuengi, close the lid.”

Kkueng!

[Understood!]

Thump.

Kkuengi closed the pot lid with telekinesis.

A moment later,

“Finished!”

Sejun finished the fish porridge and locust porridge he made with Theo and Kkuengi.

Thanks to the strong heat and high pressure created by covering the lid, the porridge could be made more quickly.

“Minos, please scoop this out and share it.”

Moo!

[Yes!]

At Sejun’s request, the Black Minotaurs scooped porridge from the black pot into large pots.

Thud.

And placed them one by one in the middle of the area so everyone could eat comfortably.

Then, they brought the empty crab shells back to the brazier, filled them with water, rice, and ingredients, and began to boil them.

“Veronica, are you doing well?”

In his spare time, he made roasted sweet potatoes and roasted potatoes with Veronica.

“Crop Enlargement.”

Using the skill, he enlarged cherry tomatoes, grapes, roasted sweet potatoes, and roasted potatoes.

After a few cycles,

“Huh?! It’s gone?”

The locust meat and fish he had stored in the subspace warehouse ran out first.

“Then I’ll have to switch to egg porridge.”

Sejun immediately changed the ingredients to Egg Fruits and made egg porridge.

Hours went by. The sun began to set, casting long shadows. Sejun kept cooking, batch after batch. Slowly, the long lines of people waiting for food started to disappear. Finally, no one was left complaining of hunger.

“Hoo. That was tough…”

Sejun, who had burned himself out making food.

Plop.

He slumped to the floor to rest.

At that moment,

[You have achieved the great feat of feeding one million people to their fill.]

[As a reward for the great achievement, you have acquired the >Title: Saint Who Feeds<.] [As a reward for the great achievement, all stats increase by 100.] [Rewards are given to those who helped with the great achievement according to their contribution.] Messages appeared before the exhausted Sejun. "Huh?!" There was such an achievement?! As Sejun looked at the messages in surprise, "Nyang?! Chairman Park, I have awakened a talent, nyang!" Kkueng! [Kkuengi has also awakened a talent!] "Me too!" Theo, Kkuengi, and Veronica, who had helped Sejun the most, awakened new talents. Theo gained the talent of strong fur that doesn't fall out easily and provides strong defense. Kkuengi gained the talent of being a gourmet who feels full when eating delicious food. And Veronica awakened the talent of being immune to a hundred poisons. And, Moo! The Black Minotaurs who helped Sejun carry the food had their stats increased by about 10 each. "Hehehe. Everyone, let’s eat." Sejun, revitalized by the achievement rewards, got up from his seat. "Good, nyang!" Kkueng! [Good!] (Bat bat.) Peep! The animals, who had been starving while waiting for Sejun to cook, cheered with joy. A moment later, "Okay. Let’s eat!" Sejun placed a pot full of egg porridge and salted shrimp and began to eat with the animals. And, (Bat bat. Hoo. I’m so full I can’t eat anymore.) Peep! Peep! [Me too! My body is so heavy I can’t even fly!] When the Golden Bat and Piyo were stroking their bulging bellies, [You have fed both of them to their fill.] [Due to the effect of >Title: Saint Who Feeds<, all stats permanently increase by 0.2.] A message appeared in Sejun's eyes. "Huh?!" What?! Every time I feed someone to their fill, all stats increase by 0.1? "Hehehe. From today, everyone gets to eat their fill. Got it?" Kkueng! Kkueng! [Understood! Kkuengi will eat his fill!] Kkuengi answered with an excited voice to Sejun's words. It was fortunate that Kkuengi awakened the talent: Gourmet. Otherwise, Sejun would have to cook to death again. When the meal was over, "Let’s go to sleep quickly for now." Kkueng! [Good night, Daddy!] At Sejun's words, Kkuengi went to sleep with Pink Fur, and the tired Sejun hurried into the house. And, "Sejun, what about me?" Veronica was left alone. [Veronica, follow me.] Fire Flower had Veronica sleep inside the cave. The next morning. "Ugh." Sejun woke up early. "I need to get the black beans first." Wearing Theo on his leg, Clang. He opened the subspace warehouse. And, Click. He took out two black beans from the Golden Box of Plenty. As Sejun took out six black beans to sell to the dragons and came out of the warehouse, Whimper? Whimper! ‘Where were you? Oh?! Black fruit!’ Fenrir, who had woken up and was looking for Sejun, discovered the black beans in Sejun's hand. Thump. Thump. Fenrir ran diligently towards Sejun. Thud. He sat down in front of Sejun and looked at Sejun proudly. Since I sat down, give it to me now. "Our Blackie sat down because he wanted to eat this? Good boy. Here." Sejun willingly put the black royal jelly, which he had swapped for the black bean, into Fenrir's mouth. Whimper··· [Withstood···] Fenrir couldn't overcome the bitter taste and fainted again. "Sleep well." Sejun put Fenrir on the bed and 슥. Marked the date on the bedroom wall. Day 366 of being in the Tower. The word 'stranded' had disappeared from Sejun's thoughts before he knew it. At that moment, "Sejun, we have arrived!" Wolves carrying Sejun's mother Kim Mi-ran's kimchi and side dishes arrived, and a true party celebrating Sejun's 1st anniversary in the Tower began.
