Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 312

The Grape Farm on the 4th Floor of the Tower.

‘Oh, Lady Rhea, Goddess of Abundance… I am working hard to earn money today as well.’

The Farming King knelt and prayed to Rhea, the Goddess of Abundance, as usual.

As the Farming King prayed, the grape farm’s sales had recently increased a lot. More and more Hunters were coming to buy the delicious, juicy grapes.

Big leeches were appearing in more places than just Hawaii. So, hunters from other countries started looking for the grapes.

Because there were not enough grapes for everyone who wanted them, the price of grapes was rising day by day.

Just then,

-My child, you are doing very well.

Rhea’s voice came to him, answering his prayer.

-However… it is still not enough to help Park Sejun. Find a way to earn more money.

‘Yes, Lady Rhea, Goddess of Abundance….’

The Farming King, troubled by Rhea’s message, thought hard.

Clink, clink.

He went to the warehouse where the grapes were stored and reached out to them.

Then,

Whirr.

A green light covered the grapes.

A moment later, when the light disappeared, there were hundreds of bottles filled with red liquid and one bottle filled with green liquid.

He used his skills to make grape wine and grapeseed oil.

When the Farming King sold grape wine and grapeseed oil with the grapes, the Hunters only bought the grape wine.

It was obvious.

[Fragrant Grape Wine Brimming with Life]

Grape wine made from Top Farmer Park Sejun’s finest grapes.

The taste has become richer.

The aroma is stronger, spreading twice as far as the grapes did.

The fragrant grape wine scent will drive monsters that love the smell of blood crazy.

Manufacturer: ??? Expiration Date: 5 years Grade: A+

The bottled grape wine was easier to carry than grapes, and its effects were doubled.

On the other hand, not a single bottle of grapeseed oil was sold, and it began to pile up in the warehouse.

Thud. Thud.

While Sejun was making chewy sweet bread dough,

Kkuhehehe. Kkueng?

[Hehehe. Daddy’s making chewy sweet bread?]

Kkueng, who had woken up from his nap, came into the kitchen looking for Sejun and asked.

“Yeah. Ajax wanted to eat some.”

Kkuhehehe. Kkueng!

[Hehehe. Exciting!]

Kkueng thought he should try to sell honey potatoes to Ajax next time.

Kkueng smiled and picked up the black noodle press hanging on the wall.

It was for pushing out the chewy sweet bread after Sejun finished the dough.

The size of the holes in the noodle press could be changed, making it possible to push out the chewy sweet bread.

A moment later.

“Kkueng, let’s push out the chewy sweet bread now.”

Kkueng!

[Okay!]

As Sejun put the finished dough into the noodle press,

Kkueng!

Squeeze.

Kkueng gave strength and pushed out the chewy sweet bread.

So, five long strings of chewy sweet bread came out in an instant.

“Rice cakes are ready, everyone!” Sejun called out, his voice warm and inviting. The kitchen smelled wonderfully sweet, like cooked rice and honey.

“Coming, Hyung!” Ajax called back, his large wings beating as he squeezed through the window, Fenrir still asleep and bundled gently in his arms. “Smells amazing!”

Veronica burst in from the field, Bulkkot perched proudly on her shoulder. “Master, I’m here! Farming lessons made me so hungry!” she exclaimed, her cheeks flushed from the morning air.

Kkueng bounced excitedly, his tail wagging. “Kkueng! Rice cakes! Kkueng is ready to eat!” he chirped, his eyes bright with anticipation.

“Let’s eat!” Sejun smiled, placing the big plate of soft, white rice cakes in the center. “We have two kinds of honey today – clear flower honey and rich maple honey. Try both and see which you like best.”

Kkueng!

[I will enjoy the meal!]

“Hyungnim! I will enjoy the meal!”

“I will enjoy the meal.”

With Sejun’s words, Kkueng, Ajax, and Veronica picked up the chewy sweet bread.

And

Stare.

Ajax and Veronica stared at Kkueng.

It was to see which honey Kkueng would choose.

At that moment,

Dip.

Kkueng dipped the chewy sweet bread in the maple honey.

‘That’s where I should eat it!’

‘That’s it!’

Dip. Dip.

The two of them also dipped the chewy sweet bread in the maple honey, following Kkueng.

‘Why do they have to copy even that?’

Sejun smiled as he watched them.

Grind, grind.

He ground coffee beans while watching the three of them eat chewy sweet bread. It was to eat chewy sweet bread and coffee together.

Eating something bitter with something sweet would make each taste better.

Thus, the peaceful breakfast ended and

“Kkueng helped Daddy today, so I’ll give you some special money from the Tower. Here.”

Sejun said, giving Kkueng ten Tower coins for helping him make chewy sweet bread.

Sejun had asked Theo to teach Kkueng how to spend money last time, but it didn’t work out. He decided to teach him himself.

Kkueng!

[Daddy, thank you!]

As soon as Kkueng received 10 Tower coins from Sejun, he put them in his allowance pouch. How admirable. So admirable.

“So, how much money does Kkueng have now?”

Kkueng…

[Kkueng now has…]

Clink.

At Sejun’s question, Kkueng poured out his allowance pouch and began counting the coins. One, two…

And

Kkueng!

[Five!]

Stamp.

He left a footprint on the ground with his front paw every time he reached 5.

As Kkueng made 22 footprints on the ground,

Kkueng!

[Kkueng has this much money!]

Kkueng showed Sejun the footprints he had made.

It was a way of counting he had never seen before.

“Hmm….”

Sejun wondered where to start teaching Kkueng.

“Kkueng, let’s learn how to count numbers first.”

He taught Kkueng how to count numbers and how to add and subtract.

1 hour later.

“Kkueng, how much money is in your allowance pouch?”

Kkueng!

[Kkueng has 110 Tower coins!]

At Sejun’s question, Kkueng accurately said how much money was in his allowance pouch.

“That’s right. Then, if Daddy gives Kkueng 10 Tower coins, how much will Kkueng have in his allowance pouch?”

Kkueng!

[Then Kkueng has 110 Tower coins!]

“Huh?! I said Daddy gave you 10 Tower coins.”

Kkueng-ie looked confused. Sejun started to explain.

Kkueng! Kkueng!

[No way! The money hasn’t arrived in Kkueng-ie’s allowance pouch yet!]

Kkueng-ie was doing an accurate calculation.

“Huh?!”

Sejun was speechless at Kkueng-ie’s answer. “Our Kkueng-ie is a genius?!” he thought.

“Okay. How much is it now?” Sejun asked, giving him 10 Topcoins.

Kkueng!

[Then Kkueng-ie has 120 Topcoins!]

“That’s right. Good job.”

Sejun gently rubbed Kkueng-ie’s soft fur and praised him.

Kkuhehehe.

Kkueng-ie smiled brightly at Sejun’s praise.

Sejun chuckled as Kkueng-ie happily counted his coins, but nearby, the air felt heavy and cold. Ajax stood with his back to his grandfather, Kellion. His small shoulders were stiff, and his lower lip stuck out.

“Go away, Grandpa!” Ajax mumbled, his voice muffled. “I don’t want to see you!”

Kellion sighed, his voice reaching Ajax in his mind, *Ajax, please calm down. I did it all for you, you know.*

But Ajax just stamped his foot. “I don’t care! I hate you! I’m going to live with Sejun hyung now!”

*Tap, tap, tap!* Ajax turned and stomped away towards Sejun, leaving Kellion standing alone.

Kellion watched his grandson go, a deep sadness settling in his chest. *Keueung…* he thought, his heart aching. Ajax’s angry words felt like sharp stones.

At that moment,

-Kahaha. Just ask Sejun to help you. Kaiser, who had reconciled with Ajax several times thanks to Sejun, advised.

-Do you think that will work? My grandson is very stubborn, and once he says something, it lasts at least a month.

-Don’t worry. Sejun will solve it in a second.

-Really?!

-That’s right. Sejun is very capable in this area!

-Then shall I ask him?

At Kaiser’s insistence, Kellion used telepathy magic to ask Sejun to reconcile with Ajax. He promised 100 Dragon Tooth Soldiers as a reward.

Sejun nodded at Kellion’s request.

As Sejun spoke to Ajax and took something out to give him,

Tip tap tip.

Ajax, holding a stick of *garaetteok*, a kind of chewy rice cake, in each hand, approached Kellion slowly and unsure.

“Grandpa, I was really mad before, and I said mean stuff. Sorry. Sejun hyung said to eat this with Grandpa and make up.”

Chuck.

Ajax handed Kellion the *garaetteok* and said.

-Ehehehe. Okay! Let’s eat together.

“Yeah! Grandpa, it’s even more delicious if you dip this in honey!”

The grandfather and grandson ate *garaetteok* happily together.

‘Thank you, Sejun!’

Kaiser chewed on the *garaetteok* and gave Sejun a grateful look.

And

-They made up that quickly?!

-How is that even possible?!

Ramter and Tier looked at Ajax and Kellion with confused eyes.

‘Our Perion too…’

‘Our Pobi too…’

The two dragons began to consider sending their grandsons to Sejun.

While peace returned to the garden, far away, trouble was brewing for someone else…

Inside a mansion built in a huge cavity.

“Ah. Good.”

Chew. Chew.

Panzen was lying comfortably on the bamboo bed, chewing on bamboo and resting.

“Pah! Those guys must be ashes by now, right?”

Panzen smiled, feeling sure of himself, as he thought of Theo and Bbyot who would have disappeared from the world by now.

At that moment,

Knock. Knock. Knock.

“Mr. Panzen! Mr. Pansur is urgently looking for you!”

Panzen received Pansur’s call.

“Father, you called?” Panzen asked, going to find Pansur.

“You rascal! What have you been doing?” As soon as he saw Panzen, Pansur shouted in great anger.

“Ah… Father, what’s wrong?” Panzen asked, watching Pansur’s expression.

“What?! Because of you, one of our branches has been completely destroyed, and you’re asking what’s wrong?!”

“Huh? Aren’t they dead?” Panzen asked with a blank expression.

“What?! Those guys?! Don’t you even know who you brought to the branch?”

“Uh… I don’t really know…”

“Haa…” Pansur sighed as he looked at his son, Panzen.

“Son, the person you brought to the branch is Theo Park, the Golden Cat, a subordinate of the Great Black Dragon.”

“What?! A subordinate of the Great Black Dragon?!” Panzen was shocked by Theo’s identity.

Boom!

A huge explosion was heard.

And

“Kyu-kyu-kyu-kyu-kyu- Mr. Theo, I found you!” Iona glared at Pansur and Panzen from outside the window and called for Theo.

“Iona, calm down, meow!” Theo, who makes a slave contract with those who attack him, hurriedly stopped Iona. “If the kids get scared, they won’t attack, meow!”

“Kyu-kyu-kyu- Yes!” Iona calmed down her anger a little at Theo’s words.

However,

“O-oh, stage five…” The enemies saw Iona’s fifth stage of angry Kyu. They were so scared, they didn’t want to fight anymore.

Thanks to this, Pansur and the Black Market members escaped from the clutches of the slave contract.

Bbyot! Bbyot!

[Ppeuhut. This body is Theo’s right-hand man, Bireureureu Yacht! Drop your weapons now!]

Bbyot introduced himself to the Black Market members and disarmed them.

“Tch. What a shame, meow…” Theo climbed up the wall to the third-floor room where Panzen was, feeling regretful.

“Puhuhut. Panzen tried to take the life of Vice Chairman Theo, so he must repay my life value of 100 trillion Topcoins, meow! Stamp it, meow!” Theo handed Panzen a new contract.

“Father…” Panzen looked at Pansur with a tearful face and asked for help.

“Son, stamp it quickly!” Pansur urged Panzen to stamp it instead.

Becoming a slave of Theo Park, the Golden Cat, a subordinate of the Great Black Dragon, wasn’t so bad. If you sign a contract, you have to repay the money, but Theo usually doesn’t take the money and prefers slaves. Moreover, only the title is a slave, and they are not treated as slaves. And if you become Theo’s slave, other forces can’t easily touch you, so there’s nothing bad about becoming a slave. Of course, it would be very different if it were his own story.

“Yes…” Stamp.

At Pansur’s urging, Panzen stamped the seal in despair.

However, Pansur was mistaken about something. Until now, Theo didn’t take the money and made them slaves because he didn’t want to go far.

“Puhuhut. Bbyot, pack it all up, meow!”

Bbyot!

[Yes!]

There was no reason not to take the money if he could get it right away.

“Huh?!” Pansur was flustered.

However,

“Kyu-kyu-kyu- Stay still!”

“Yes…” Pansur couldn’t do anything at Iona’s words, who was watching him.

Theo began to loot the Black Market headquarters without any interference. “Puhuhut. There are many things that catch my eye, meow!” Theo’s steps were very light at the thought of being praised by Sejun.
