Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 326

Sejun smiled. “Vice Chairman Tae, well done! You found it!”

Sejun praised Theo for finding the important paper about the land on the 83rd floor of the White Tower.

“Puhuhu! Of course! I, Vice Chairman Tae, am always good, meow!”

Theo said proudly, his voice full of boastfulness.

Just then, a soft sound came.

“Euh-heeng….”

Ajax looked at Sejun and Theo. Tears were welling up in his eyes, making his face wet.

“Huh? Ajax, what’s wrong?” Sejun asked Ajax.

“Euh-heeing! I wanted to find the land document for you, Sejun hyung, and get praised! Waaah!”

Ajax, overwhelmed with sadness, burst into tears.

Kellion, hearing Ajax’s cries, quickly flew over. “Ajax, what’s wrong?”

However,

“I don’t know! It’s all because of Grandpa!” Ajax shouted at Kellion. “I wanted to find the land document for you, Grandpa, but Theo did it first!”

As Ajax was whining to Kellion,

Sejun said, looking around in a way that was obvious, “I wonder if there’s a good dragon who will help me prepare dinner and get praised?”

Then,

“Euh-heeng… Hyung! Me! I’ll help!”

Ajax stopped crying and raised his hand. I want to be praised by Sejun hyung!

However,

“Hmm… this is something only a good dragon can make, so Ajax can’t do it. You got angry at Kellion.”

Kkueng! Kkueng!

“[Then Kkuengi will help! Kkuengi is good!]”

“Okay. A good bear is also possible. Kkuengi passed.”

Kkuhehehe. Kkueng!

“[Hehehe. Good!]”

“Euh-heeng….”

Ajax became tearful again when only Kkuengi passed.

“Well… if Ajax apologizes to Kellion and Kellion forgives him, he might become a good dragon again…”

“Grandpa, I’m sorry!”

Whump.

At Sejun’s words, Ajax quickly hugged Kellion and apologized.

He looked at Kellion with pleading eyes while hugging him. Grandpa, you’ll forgive me, right?

“Uhahaha. Of course, I forgive you.”

Kellion immediately forgave Ajax. At the same time, he looked at Sejun strangely.

‘Our Ajax doesn’t have a normal personality, but how does he become so docile in front of Sejun?’

According to Kaiser, Aileen also originally had a terrible personality. It was truly a mystery.

While Kellion was looking at Sejun in wonder,

“Hyung! I’m a good dragon now!”

“Yes. You’re a good dragon now. Then help me out!”

“Okay! Hyung!”

Sejun took Kkuengi and Ajax to the kitchen.

And then,

Clang.

He opened the special storage space and took out the locust meat. He thought he had eaten it all, but there was some buried under other crops. The locust meat was dark and smelled strong.

“Theo, carefully mince all of this.”

“Puhuhu. I understand, meow!”

Ppah-ching.

Tap tap tap.

As Theo carefully minced the locust meat,

Kkueng?

“[What does Kkuengi do?]”

“Hyung. What can I help with?”

Kkuengi and Ajax, who needed to help Sejun and get praised, asked Sejun with impatience.

“There’s nothing right now, so sit here and wait a bit.”

Sejun said, placing plates and flour on the table.

A little while later,

“Puhuhu. All done, meow!”

“Excellent work, Vice Chairman Tae! You’re so fast!”

After Theo finished mincing the locust meat, Sejun added salt and pepper to the meat and seasoned it.

“Okay, guys, now make this into this shape.”

He showed Kkuengi and Ajax how to make the minced meat into dinosaur-shaped chicken. It was Yonggary chicken.

Kkueng! Kkueng!

“[I understand! Kkuengi will carefully help!]”

“Okay! Hyung, trust me!”

Chop chop chop.

The two started carefully kneading the meat and making shapes.

Starting the two.

However,

Kkuhehehe. Kkueng!

“[Hehehe. This is Kkuengi!]”

“Euhihit. This is the great white dragon, Ajax!”

Before they knew it, the two had forgotten about helping Sejun and were busy playing.

“Those guys are having fun.”

Sejun didn’t expect anything from them either. Honestly, he intended for them to play like this.

At that moment,

“Tada! What do you think?! Vice Chairman Tae.”

Sejun showed Theo what he had made with the minced meat.

“Nyang?! Who is this ugly cat?!”

“It’s you. Vice Chairman Tae Chicken.”

“Nyang?! My face isn’t that rotten, meow!”

“Why? Two ears, a round face, it’s kind of similar.”

“It’s not, meow!”

“You don’t understand art!”

Sejun, with his artistic skills of insisting that two dots in a circle represent a person, was talking about art.

Sejun then started making Bbiyote, Golden Bat, and Fire Chicken. Of course, none of them looked alike.

As he was making Iona Chicken for the last time,

“Huh?! There’s no more meat.”

The quite a bit of meat had run out.

Kkueng!

“[Kkuengi is bigger!]”

“No! I’m bigger!”

It was because Kkuengi and Ajax had swept away all the minced meat to make themselves bigger.

“Hey! It won’t taste good if you make it that big.”

Kkueng?!

“[It won’t taste good if you make it big?!]”

“Then we can’t do that!”

At Sejun’s words, the two quickly tore off the meat, and thanks to that, fist-sized Kkuengi Chicken and Ajax Chicken were quickly completed.

“You two, make Kellion and Pink Fur and give them as gifts.”

Kkueng!

“[I understand!]”

“Okay! Hyung!”

While the two were making Pink Fur Chicken and Kellion Chicken,

“Hehehe. It’s complete.”

Sejun also completed Iona Chicken and made the rest into Yonggary Chicken.

Then, after triple-coating them with flour, egg wash, and breadcrumbs, he applied oil to the outside and baked them in a brick oven.

By the way, the breadcrumbs were made by grinding bread that Theo had stolen from the Black Market.

It seemed that someone’s meal had been brought along in the process of bringing it. Thanks to that, it was used very usefully.

While the chicken was being baked, the smell of baking chicken filled the kitchen, making everyone hungry.

“Guys, thank you for working hard.”

Pat pat.

Sejun patted Kkuengi and Ajax’s butts and praised them.

Kkuhehehe

“Euhihit.”

The two were satisfied with Sejun’s praise.

A little while later,

“Guys, let’s eat!”

Thud.

He took out the chicken that was well-baked in the oven and said.

“It’s delicious if you dip it in this.”

Sejun took out the tomato sauce and put it on the table.

Plop.

At Sejun’s words, Kkuengi and Ajax dipped the chicken they made in the sauce and ate it deliciously.

Kkuhehehe. Kkueng!

“[Hehehe. It’s delicious!]”

“Euhit! It’s delicious!”

“It’s really delicious!”

Veronica, who had finished running errands for Fire, also returned and ate Yonggary Chicken with enjoyment.

At that moment,

“Puhuhu.”

Swish.

Theo packed Vice Chairman Tae Chicken and Iona Chicken into his bundle with his front paws. Chairman Park made me and Iona, so this is a must-have for my collection, meow!

Crunch.

Not knowing that, Sejun ate the well-baked Yonggary Chicken. It was crispy on the outside and juicy inside, with a savory taste that made him smile.

That’s how the meal ended.

“Careful now, it’s hot!” Sejun chuckled, watching Kooeng and Ajax. The delicious smell of roasted chicken filled the kitchen. Kooeng, his little nose twitching with excitement, carefully held the plate. “Alright, take it to them!”

Kooeng barked happily, his tail wagging so hard his whole body wiggled. “Kooeng!” he yipped, which Sejun knew meant “Understood!”

“Okay, Hyung!” Ajax chirped, grabbing his own plate with determined paws. Together, the two little creatures proudly carried their roasted chicken creations towards Pink Fur and Kellion.

Kooeng nudged Pink Fur, letting out a happy bark, “Kooeng!” It was his way of saying, “Mom, Kooeng made this!”

Pink Fur tilted her head, a soft “Koooreureu!” escaping her lips, as if to say, “Looks delicious. Let me try a bite.”

But then, Pink Fur felt Kooeng’s eager gaze.

Kooeng was drooling, his eyes fixed on the chicken. He wanted to share with his mom!

Koooreureu! “Shall we share?” Pink Fur asked gently.

“Kooeng!” he barked, meaning “Yes!”

Pink Fur and Kooeng shared the chicken happily, savoring each bite together before drifting off to sleep.

“Grandfather, I made this for you,” Ajax announced proudly, presenting his chicken to Kellion.

Kellion looked at the chicken, a bewildered expression on his face. “This is… me?” he asked, trying to find a resemblance to a dragon in the creation.

“Yes! It’s Grandfather! It even has your name on it!” Ajax declared confidently, pointing to the tomato sauce scrawled across the chicken.

Ajax, realizing it didn’t quite look like Kellion, had carefully written Kellion’s name on it with tomato sauce.

“-This… this is amazing, Ajax! It really looks… well, it’s very special. Thank you!” Kellion said, touched by the gesture.

“Eat it quickly! It’s delicious!” Ajax urged.

“-Grandpa isn’t hungry right now, so I’ll eat it later,” Kellion replied, his voice full of affection.

“Okay! Then eat it later! I’m going to sleep now! Good night, Grandfather,” Ajax said, bowing his head ninety degrees, just as Sejun had taught him.

“-Oh… okay. Sleep well!” Kellion managed to say, clutching his heart.

As Ajax disappeared, Kellion cast the highest-level preservation magic on the Kellion Chicken. “Preserve it forever!” he declared.

And then, he began to boast about the chicken Ajax had made to the other dragons. “Hahaha. Look at this! My grandson made this for me!”

As night deepened in the Black Tower, a gentle breeze rustled the leaves outside Sejun’s window.

Clank.

“I have to go to the White Tower tomorrow, so…” Sejun checked the items in his subspace warehouse, packed what he needed, and went to sleep, thinking about the adventure ahead.

The next morning.

“Oof!”

[10% of the life force possessed during sleep has been stored.]

[The Bead of Life is 1.5% complete.]

[0.1 magic power has been accumulated for 24 hours.]

[Magic power increases by 0.1.]

As soon as he opened his eyes, the messages from Talent: Extra Life and Talent: Accumulating Magic Circuit appeared.

“Hehehe. Good.” It wasn’t much, but the feeling of something accumulating every day was satisfying.

As he was checking the messages,

[Created 1000 pyeong of Magic Cherry Tomato Field.]

[Acquired 2000 experience points.]

Experience points increased as the field was created, thanks to the Mushroom Ants who had been working since dawn.

“I should get up too.” Seeing the diligently working Mushroom Ants, Sejun couldn’t just sit still.

“Nyaang…”

So, he picked up Theo, wore him on his knee, and hurried outside.

Thud. Thud.

He walked through the Magic Cherry Tomato Field, the leaves brushing against his legs. The air was sweet with the scent of ripe tomatoes and damp earth. He walked as slowly as possible, knowing he might not be able to let them hear his footsteps for a few days once he went to the White Tower.

Then, he went to the kitchen and made breakfast.

The breakfast menu was boiled Egg Fruit and roasted sweet potatoes.

He prepared food that he could eat anytime, not knowing what might happen in the White Tower.

Having finished breakfast and prepared to go to the White Tower, Sejun said, “Okay everyone, big day tomorrow! Excited for the White Tower adventure?”

“Puhuhoot. Don’t worry, President Park! Just trust me, nyaang!” Theo chirped confidently.

Kooeng barked, “Kooeng!” which meant “Kooeng will protect Daddy!”

“Ehit! Sejun hyung, don’t worry. The White Tower is my territory!” Ajax added with a cheerful tone.

Whine! Whine!

Fenrir, held in Veronica’s arms, struggled to be taken along, whimpering, ‘His body is too hard and uncomfortable! Take me too!’

However,

“No way!” Veronica said firmly.

Squeeze!

Veronica tightened her arms around Fenrir.

Squeak…

Fenrir fainted.

“Then Ajax, go ahead first. It will take time to come down,” Sejun instructed.

“Okay! Hyung!” Ajax chirped.

“Ajax, go back.” Sejun added.

“Hyung! I’ll come down quickly! Just call me if you’re in a hurry!” Ajax said.

[Reverse summoning the White Tower’s Tower Farmer, Ajax Mamuhrb.]

Ajax waved his hand and disappeared.

“Theo and Kooeng, go in too.” Sejun said.

“Understood, nyaang!” Theo replied.

Kooeng barked, “Kooeng!” meaning “Understood!”

Clank.

“Then we’ll be back! Eileen, I’ll be back!” Sejun closed the subspace warehouse, said goodbye to the dragons and Eileen, remembering that the subspace warehouse only worked in the Black Tower.

Swish.

He unfolded the land deed for the 83rd floor of the White Tower and disappeared.

And then,

(Bat bat?)

The Golden Bat, who had been hiding on Sejun’s back, was left alone and panicked.

Usually, when using a land deed, it would move together if it was attached to Sejun’s body.

At that moment,

Clank.

“Nyaang?” Theo meowed, confused.

Kooeng barked, equally puzzled.

The subspace warehouse opened, and Theo and Kooeng were also ejected into the air.

Something was wrong.

-What? Wasn’t Sejun’s a multi-dimensional subspace warehouse?!

-No. How can he go without even preparing for that?!

The dragons knew what the problem was as soon as they saw it. The subspace warehouse Sejun used was limited to the Black Tower.

As everyone was worried about Sejun,

[Arrived at the 83rd floor of the White Tower.]

Sejun arrived at the White Tower.

“It’s really dark.” It was a thick, heavy darkness in the White Tower, pressing in on Sejun from all sides. He couldn’t even see his hand in front of his face.

[Night has fallen.]

[>Title: The One Who Reclaimed the Night> is activated.]

[All stats increase by 20% during the night.]

Messages appeared. There were good things about it being dark.

Snap.

Sejun, having already heard about the situation in the White Tower from Ajax, wasn’t flustered and snapped his fingers to create a fire.

Whoosh.

After securing his vision with the fire, watching the firelight dance and reveal his surroundings, Sejun said, “Subspace warehouse summon.”

Sejun tried to summon the subspace warehouse to bring out Theo and Kooeng.

However,

“Huh?!”

The subspace warehouse wasn’t summoned.

“What is this?!” Sejun was flustered.

At that moment,

Grrrr.

The beasts growled, trying to drive out the enemy who had invaded their territory.

[A quest has occurred.]

[Quest: Either eliminate the roe deer occupying the Cherry Farm on the 83rd floor of the White Tower or peacefully reclaim the rights to the land through an agreement.]

Reward: Recognition as the rightful owner of the farm on the 83rd floor of the White Tower.

“Roe deer?!”

What?

Whoosh.

As Sejun made the fire bigger, he saw the roe deer hiding behind the trees, their eyes glowing in the dark, making grrr sounds. There were many of them, their forms silhouetted against the darkness.

“Hehehe. Hello, everyone.” Sejun smiled and approached the frightened roe deer.
