Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 310

“Meow, meow, meow.”

Bwee-oot. Bwee-oot.

Theo and Bwee-oot hummed as they went down the tower. They wanted to find the land deed for the 70th floor of the Black Tower.

They hummed happily as they went down the tower. They didn’t notice anything around them until they reached the 50th floor.

“Meow?! But where do we find the land deed for the 70th floor, meow?”

Theo hadn’t thought about it until now. He didn’t know what to do.

Bwee-oot…

[I wonder…]

Bwee-oot thought about it too.

As they walked, thinking hard…

“Meow? Another one, meow?”

Bwee-oot?

[Theo, which way should we go?]

They came to a fork in the road.

“This time, we go left, meow!”

Theo chose a path with confidence.

Bwee-oot!

[Wherever you go is always right, Theo!]

As Theo and Bwee-oot walked past…

Thud.

The left path closed as if by magic, and a snake’s face appeared.

Hiss. Hiss.

Hundreds of white snakes appeared on the path in front of them. The snakes were long and thin, and they hissed loudly.

Bwee-oot!

[Leave it to me, Theo!]

Peck. Peck.

Bwee-oot pecked at the snakes with its beak.

Because Bwee-oot was well-fed and raised on the farm, Bwee-oot had become strong.

“Servants, come and help me, meow!”

-Master, you called?

“That’s right, meow! Pick up the coins, meow!”

-Yes!

Bwee-oot defeated the white snakes.

Lick. Lick.

Gaelon moved above Theo’s head, collecting the white coins.

As they kept going down the path…

“Help me!”

A scream echoed.

“Hehe. I hope it’s someone we can trick, meow!”

Bwee-oot!

[It’s probably Yuren!]

They both thought it was Yuren.

However…

“Too bad, meow! It’s not Yuren, meow!”

Bwee-oot. Bwee-oot…

[I know. I thought it would be Yuren…]

They didn’t find Yuren, who is easy to trick, but a big panda bear. The panda was big and fluffy.

They were sad to see the panda.

Just then…

“Hey, don’t just stand there watching, help me!”

The panda, holding onto the wall to get away from the white snakes, saw Theo and Bwee-oot and asked for help.

“Hehe. Alright, meow!”

Ppat-ching!

Theo took out his Dragon Claws and…

Whoosh!

Quickly swung his front paw.

Jjeo-jeo-jeok.

The pieces of the snake split into six parts.

Clang.

“Bwee-oot, pick them up, meow!”

Bwee-oot!

[Yes!]

Theo had Bwee-oot pick up the white coins that were falling.

Theo, Bwee-oot, and the panda ran away from the pieces of the snake.

“Thank you for saving me! I’m Panchen!”

Panchen thanked Theo.

“Hehe. Nice to meet you, meow! First, stamp this, meow!”

Stomp.

Theo had Panchen stamp the contract. It was important to stamp the contract to make it official.

“Huh? Hey!!! What are you doing?!”

Panchen stamped the contract without thinking. Then he shouted and quickly started to read it. He had been told not to stamp anything without reading it.

“Hehe. Theo saved you, so you have to stamp it, meow!”

Bwee-oot! Bwee-oot?!

[That’s right! Did you think we would save you for free?!]

Theo and Bwee-oot smiled proudly as they looked at Panchen.

Just then…

“Ugh… If you needed money, you could have just asked.”

Panchen read the contract and said it without emotion.

“Meow?! So you can give us 1 billion Tower Coins, meow?”

The contract said 1 billion Tower Coins. They wanted to use that money to save Yuren. Tower Coins are used to buy things in the tower.

“Of course. Who do you think I am?”

“Who else but Panchen, meow!”

“Ah… that’s not it. Actually, my dad is Pansur.”

Panchen said it proudly. He thought they would be surprised.

Panchen thought Theo would be shocked, but…

“Meow? Who’s Pansur, meow? Bwee-oot, have you heard of Pansur, meow?”

Bwee-oot. Bwee-oot.

[No. I don’t know him.]

They didn’t know who Pansur was.

“Huh?! You really don’t know my dad?!”

Panchen was sad that Theo and Bwee-oot didn’t know Pansur. He thought, ‘My dad is famous…’

“Stop bragging about your dad and give us the money, meow!”

Theo held out his front paw, asking for money.

“Ah… I don’t have it. My dad has the money.”

Panchen suddenly moved back.

“What, meow?! Then Panchen can’t pay, so he’s our helper, meow!”

“Hey?! I said my dad has the money!”

Bwee-oot! Bwee-oot!

[Theo is always right! A helper doesn’t talk back!]

Peck. Peck.

Bwee-oot pecked Panchen’s head because he was talking back to Theo.

“Ow! That hurts! It hurts!”

Bwee-oot?!

[How dare a helper speak informally?!]

“Ow! That hurts.”

Panchen learned to be polite from Bwee-oot.

“Hehe. Helper, follow me, meow!”

Theo took Panchen and started down the path again.

However…

Halt.

He stopped walking.

“Meow?! Where do we go, meow?”

He didn’t know where to go to find the land deed for the 70th floor of the tower. The Black Tower is a tall building where people live and work.

Bwee-oot?

[Should we go ask Louis?]

Bwee-oot had an idea.

“That’s a good idea, meow! Let’s go to Louis and ask him to find it, meow!”

Theo decided to go to the 79th floor, where the Cove Kingdom was.

“Heh. Are you maybe looking for something?”

Panchen had been listening to their conversation. He asked in a flattering way. He thought, ‘This is my chance to go to Dad!’

“That’s right, meow! We’re looking for the land deed for the 70th floor of the tower, meow!”

“Then follow me! I know a place where you can get anything!”

“Really, meow?!”

“Of course! It’s called the Black Market!”

“Alright, meow! Lead the way, meow!”

“Yes! Follow me!”

Panchen started walking toward the 66th floor of the tower.

He thought, ‘Just you wait! When we get there, I won’t let you get away with this!’

He smiled in a sneaky way.

The 66th floor of the Black Tower had a special market.

It was the Black Market, where people sold things that were gotten illegally.

Panchen’s father, Pansur, owned the Black Market.

“Hehe. Helper! Move faster, meow!”

Bwee-oot! Bwee-oot!

[That’s right! Theo, we need to get back quickly!]

Theo and Bwee-oot didn’t know what Panchen was planning. They told Panchen to hurry.

The evening air was cooling down as shadows grew longer across the farm. Sejun stood by the black pot, ready to make dinner. He looked at Kkoo-eng, the small, furry creature with large eyes. “Ready to make some magic, Kkoo-eng?”

Rumble!

Sejun carefully poured the pale, shredded potatoes into the dark, black pot.

Kkoo-eng!

[Kkoo-eng is ready!]

Kkoo-eng, Sejun’s eager sous-chef for the day, confidently answered, holding the pot lid steady with his small paws.

“Good. Then let’s begin!” Sejun said with a smile.

He infused magic into the handle of the pot, and it began to glow with heat.

“Kkoo-eng, now!”

Kkoo-eng!

[Understood!]

At Sejun’s signal, Kkoo-eng grew bigger, his body swelling until he was about 5 meters tall, partially covering the pot with the lid.

Kkooeh-eh-eng!!

[It’s getting delicious!] Kkoo-eng exclaimed happily.

Then, Kkoo-eng used his special wind breath, which Sejun called “Kkoo-eng’s Wind,” blowing air gently into the pot. They were using the black pot’s heat and Kkoo-eng’s wind together, a unique way of air frying the potatoes.

After Kkoo-eng used Kkoo-eng’s Wind about 10 times,

“Kkoo-eng, you can stop now.”

Kkoo-eng?!

[It’s already done?!]

“Yeah. Let’s open it quickly.”

Kkoo-eng!

[Understood!]

Clunk.

As Kkoo-eng opened the pot lid, a rush of hot, potato-scented steam escaped with a sizzle.

The French fries were still being fried by the remaining heat.

Sprinkle sprinkle sprinkle.

Sejun sprinkled salt on the French fries, and stir stir.

He mixed the French fries up and down to mix the salt well, letting out the steam.

After a while,

“Is it done well?”

Clunk.

He picked up a French fry and put it in his mouth.

Crunch.

The salty taste, crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. Perfect!

Gulp.

Kkoo-eng?!

[Daddy, is it delicious?!]

Kkoo-eng’s mouth watered as he watched Sejun eat the French fries.

‘Yeah. Kkoo-eng, you try it too.’

Pop.

Sejun put a French fry in Kkoo-eng’s mouth.

Kkoohehehe. Kkoo-eng!

[Hehehe. It’s delicious!]

Kkoo-eng expressed his joy by stamping his feet.

“Ajax, dinner’s ready!”

Meanwhile, Sejun called Ajax, who was squatting outside, digging up potatoes with a hoe.

“Yes, Brother! I’m coming!” Ajax called out, his voice full of excitement.

‘Hehe! I wonder what delicious thing Sejun hyung has made this time?’

Filled with anticipation.

“Oh! As expected of Sejun hyung!”

Of course, Sejun’s cooking was beyond expectations.

The salty French fries were delicious on their own.

They were also delicious dipped in the tomato sauce he had in the morning.

As Sejun, Kkoo-eng, and Ajax were enjoying the French fries,

[Master, I’m back!]

“Oh?! Sejun, are you already having dinner?!”

Veronica, with Bulkkot on her shoulder, returned.

Bulkkot had taken Veronica to show her the farm yesterday morning, and they had arrived now.

It was called showing her around, but in reality, she had been pruning and collecting seeds from the Ents (tree-like creatures) living in the southwest at Bulkkot’s direction.

“Bulkkot, welcome back. Veronica, please have some.”

Sejun took Bulkkot from Veronica and offered her the French fries.

At that moment,

‘What?! Why is Sejun hyung using honorifics with her?’

Sejun hyung is my Ajax’s hyung, so he shouldn’t use honorifics with just anyone!

Ajax frowned. He didn’t like seeing Sejun being so polite to this new person. He glared at Veronica, feeling a surge of protectiveness towards Sejun.

Veronica noticed Ajax staring at her. His gaze was intense! She suddenly realized who he was and quickly bowed low. “I… I greet the great White Dragon!”

‘If you ever receive honorifics from Sejun hyung again, you won’t get away with it!’

Ajax threatened Veronica with telepathy magic.

‘Yes! Great White Dragon.’

Thanks to that, Sejun received an earnest request from Veronica to speak informally and dropped the honorifics.

With their stomachs full of crispy French fries, Sejun turned his attention to Bulkkot.

“Bulkkot, can you stand here for a moment?” Sejun gently placed Bulkkot from his shoulder onto the ground. “Yes! Should I stand here?” Bulkkot asked.

“Yeah. Just stay like that for a moment.”

After having Bulkkot stand,

Pop.

He opened the glass bottle containing the Potion of Harvest.

Sejun was planning to use the Potion of Harvest on Bulkkot to make him grow.

Drip.

Sejun dropped a drop of the Potion of Harvest on Bulkkot’s leaf.

[Hehe. It’s refreshing!]

Bulkkot smiled refreshingly after being hit by the Potion of Harvest.

However,

Bulkkot showed no reaction.

‘Is one drop not enough?’

Drip.

Since there was no reaction at all, Sejun dropped another drop of the Potion of Harvest.

[Yippee! Master, I feel energized!]

Bulkkot made an arm muscle with his leaf, but his body didn’t grow at all.

‘What is it?’

Clunk.

Sejun thought it was dangerous to use more than two drops and put Bulkkot back on his shoulder.

Swish.

The roots connected to Bulkkot hurriedly disappeared into the ground.

And then,

Northwest region.

[Grow, grow, my children!]

Crack. Crack.

Bulkkot shared the energy of the Potion of Harvest with the Ents, making them grow.

That was the reason he brought Veronica.

To make sure the Ents could absorb the Potion of Harvest energy well.

Sejun failed to grow Bulkkot.

Drip.

Sejun carefully dropped the Potion of Enhancement on the Seed of Mighty Magic Tomato, a mystical elixir.

Sejun was thinking of quickly finishing the rest while he was using the potion.

“Ajax, go to the White Tower for a moment.”

He told Ajax to go to the White Tower to plant the enhanced seed.

Then,

Sniffle. Sniffle.

“Sejun hyung, that’s too much…”

Ajax’s eyes welled up with tears, making a very sad expression. Sejun hyung, do you not like me?!

“It’s not like that. Just plant this and harvest it. I’ll call you back tomorrow morning.”

“Really?! You have to call me! Okay?!”

“Yeah. Don’t worry.”

“Okay. Then I’ll go.”

Ajax agreed to go to the White Tower only after receiving confirmation from Sejun several times.

“Take this. Plant the seed and drop one drop on top. If there’s no reaction, drop another drop.”

Sejun said, giving Ajax the Potion of Harvest.

“Okay! Hyung!”

“Then do well and come back. Go back, Ajax.”

“Hyung! You have to call me tomorrow morning! Okay?!”

“Yeah.”

[Reverse summoning the Tower Farmer of the White Tower, Ajax Mamv]

Ajax, receiving confirmation from Sejun until the very end, returned to the White Tower.

And around that time,

“It’s here!”

Panzen arrived at the 66th floor of the tower with Theo and Bbyot.
