Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 327

Deer lived on the 83rd floor farm of the White Tower, eating the cherry tree flowers and leaves.

Bleat!

“Intruder!” one deer shouted in alarm.

Suddenly, an intruder appeared on the farm, causing a stir among the deer.

“Grrrr,” one of the braver deer growled, trying to sound tough.

“Grrrr,” another joined in.

Together, they made sounds like the Crazy Dog, one of the White Tower’s top predators, hoping to scare the intruder away.

However,

“Ha ha! Hello, everyone,” the intruder said.

Instead of running, he approached.

Sejun felt confident. He thought he could easily handle a few deer.

Of course, Sejun wasn’t relying solely on his confidence.

‘What should I do?’ he wondered.

The deer were bewildered by Sejun’s lack of reaction.

Then,

Bleat?!

“Huh?!” Gon wondered, the leader of the deer, noticing something strange. “He’s too weak?”

Bleat! Bleat!

“It’s okay! He’s weak!”

Bleat?! Bleat?!

“What?! He’s weak, yet he dares to challenge us?!”

Bleat!

“Leader, punish him for startling us!”

Once the deer realized that Sejun wasn’t strong, they stopped imitating the Crazy Dog’s cry and made their original sounds.

There was no need to fear him. He was an easy opponent.

Just as the deer decided to punish Sejun,

“Huh?!”

Sejun, who was approaching the deer, noticed that the emotion in their eyes had changed, from fear to contempt.

“You little…!”

“I’ll surprise them!” Sejun thought, deciding to use his Dragon Tooth Soldiers.

Thump.

Just in case, he picked up the leather pouch he was wearing around his waist.

Rumble.

And poured out the contents.

Bleat!

Bleat!

The deer watched Sejun, mocking him as if daring him to try anything.

However,

B···leat···

“Th···is···”

They were soon taken aback as they watched the white Dragon Tooth Soldier helmets with black dragon tattoos pour out of the leather pouch and pile up.

Sejun had personally carved dragon tattoos onto 1,000 Dragon Tooth Soldier helmets with Kaiser’s scales before going to bed yesterday to enhance their defense.

“Alright, wake up,” Sejun commanded, a hint of excitement in his voice.

At Sejun’s command, the Dragon Tooth Soldier helmets moved and transformed into Dragon Tooth Soldiers.

Clink. Clink.

The Dragon Tooth Soldiers, having finished transforming, surrounded Sejun protectively, awaiting their next command.

Ooooh.

As a large number of Dragon Tooth Soldiers gathered, a powerful energy filled the air, making the deer tremble.

Thanks to that, Sejun didn’t need to give the next command.

Thud.

Bleat!

“We greet the great White Dragon!”

Before he knew it, Gon and the deer, who had rushed over, were kneeling before Sejun.

And

[The deer have all surrendered to you.]

[Quest completed.]

[You have been recognized as the rightful owner of the White Tower’s 83rd floor cherry tree farm land title.]

[Land Title Skill: Farm Information Lv. Max is activated.]

The quest was also completed.

[You have become the farm owner of the White Tower.]

[You must pay 30% of the harvest as a fee to Ajax Mamb, the top farmer of the White Tower.]

[Ajax Mamb is your slave.]

[There is no need to pay the fee.]

A series of messages appeared.

“So, I originally had to pay a fee,” Sejun said, looking at the message, having obtained a farm in another tower for the first time.

And

“Okay. You guys, put your stamps here.”

Since Theo, who was in charge of stamps, wasn’t there, Sejun took out the contract himself and asked for the deer’s stamps.

Bleat!

“Yes!”

Bleat!

“Yes, sir!”

At Sejun’s words, the deer eagerly competed to stamp the contract. Being made slaves meant they would be spared.

While the deer were stamping the contract,

Whoosh.

Sejun lit a fire and examined the cherry trees.

“There aren’t many fruits.”

Did they eat them all?

Thud.

Sejun harvested a cherry, suspecting the deer.

[You have harvested a Deep Darkness Cherry.]

[Job experience has increased very slightly.]

[Proficiency in Harvest Lv. 8 has increased very slightly.]

[You have gained 30 experience.]

“Let’s see.”

Sejun examined the Deep Darkness Cherry.

[Deep Darkness Cherry]

A cherry that has absorbed sufficient nutrients and darkness inside the White Tower.

It can only grow in places with darkness.

Consuming it stores a very small amount of dark power inside the body. (Destructive power increases as dark power strengthens.)

Grower: Top Farmer Park Sejun

Expiration Date: 90 days

Grade: C

“That’s it!”

Sejun cheered after confirming that he could gain dark power by consuming it.

However,

“But why is the fruit grade C?”

Sejun felt something was wrong with the cherry’s low grade. He usually harvested A-grade crops according to his grade.

“Is there a problem with the tree? Farm Information.”

So, he checked the farm’s condition.

[Farm Information Lv. Max]

Size: A large farm

Crops: 100 Cherry Trees

Worker: 1 (Land Owner)

Special Notes

-The cherry trees are very weakened because the deer have eaten all the flowers and leaves.

-The number of cherries produced by the cherry trees has decreased, and the grade has fallen to C.

-There are 500 deer available to use as workers.

It was because of the deer! Those things!

Bleat···

As Sejun’s gaze turned fierce, the deer lowered their heads to the ground and began to cry pitifully.

“Sigh.”

They were just trying to make a living too… Sejun sighed and

Plop. Plop.

Began to plant Detox Green Onions on the ground. It was to feed the deer green onion leaves instead of cherry tree leaves in the future.

“Hey! What are you doing? You have to plant them too,” Sejun said, looking at the deer who were just staring blankly at him.

Bleat!

“Yes!”

Bleat!

“Yes, sir!”

The deer dug into the ground with their front paws and hurriedly planted the green onions with their mouths.

Crunch. Crunch.

“Hey! Don’t eat them!”

Some of the deer were unknowingly captivated by the taste of the green onions and were scolded by Sejun for eating them.

While Sejun and the deer were diligently planting green onions,

Oook! Oook!

Strange screams began to be heard from afar.

“What is that sound again?”

Bleat! Bleat!

“That’s the sound of the white-haired monkeys trying to steal the cherry fruits! We’ll make the Crazy Dog sound and chase them away!”

Krrr…

Wild dogs howled, their fierce barks echoing through the trees, as they tried to chase away a group of white-furred monkeys who had dared to enter their territory.

“Wait! You can’t do that!”

Sejun quickly stopped the wild dogs. Workers were coming, so why chase them away?!

Especially monkey workers who were good with their hands and could climb trees!

Sejun had been frustrated watching the wild dogs work without hands. If monkeys came, it would be a blessing.

“Heh heh heh. Kids, welcome our guests.”

Clatter. Clatter.

At Sejun’s words, the Dragon Tooth soldiers, his loyal dog companions, went out to greet the white-furred monkeys.

“Let’s go.”

Peep!

[Yes!]

Sejun rode on Gon, slowly following behind them.

A little later,

Ook!

Three hundred white-furred monkeys fought over each other to be the first to stamp the contract Sejun offered, just like the wild dogs.

Because the Dragon’s mind could change at any moment.

And so, Sejun, with a satisfied smile, brought the white-furred monkeys under his command, adding them to his growing workforce.

“Do you guys know about this? It’s called a banana, and it’s super delicious.”

Sejun held up a bright yellow banana. It smelled sweet and fruity, and its skin felt smooth in his hand. He showed it to the monkeys.

Just like he provided green onions as food so the wild dogs wouldn’t touch the cherry trees, he planned to supply bananas to the monkeys.

However,

Ook?

The white-furred monkeys looked at the bananas in their hands, bewildered. It was their first time seeing a banana.

“Here. This is how you eat it.”

Nom.

So, Sejun demonstrated how to peel and eat the banana.

Then,

Nom.

The monkeys peeled the bananas following Sejun’s example and put the fruit in their mouths.

Ook!!!

They all had blank expressions at the taste of the banana, which they were trying for the first time. Truly, the great White Dragon!

At that moment,

Clap!

Sejun clapped to wake the monkeys from their daze.

“Delicious, right?! If you work hard, I’ll give you three bananas a day!”

Ook!

[We’ll work hard!]

Ook!

[Long live the great White Dragon!]

Sejun had given the monkeys a clear motivation.

“Alright. Now, plant the green onions.”

Peep!

Ook!

He had the wild dogs and white-furred monkeys plant the green onions.

Touch.

[The Warm Touch of a Farmer Lv. 7 is activated.]

[The cherry tree’s energy is slightly restored while the touch lasts.]

Sejun put his hand on the cherry tree and began to restore its energy.

While Sejun was normalizing the farm,

“Eheehee! Where’s Sejun hyung?”

Ajax, who had arrived on the 83rd floor of the White Tower, looked around for Sejun.

“Ah! There he is!”

He easily found Sejun thanks to the Dragon’s aura the Dragon Tooth soldiers were emitting.

“Sejun hyung!”

“Oh, Ajax! You made it! What are you doing here?”

“Huh?! Where are Theo and Kkueng-yi?”

Ajax asked, noticing that Theo and Kkueng-yi, who should have been next to Sejun, were missing.

“Well… the subspace warehouse, his magical storage space, isn’t opening.”

Sejun frowned. “That’s a problem.”

“Really? Should I call Grandpa to open it?”

“No! I’ll be back soon!”

Sejun, flustered, quickly stopped Ajax, who was about to call Kellion. If Kellion comes, I’m dead…

The moment he was exposed to Kellion’s ominous aura, he would die.

“Okay! Then what should I do?”

“First, make a light and plant green onions with those guys.”

“Right! Light coming up!”

Following Sejun’s instructions, Ajax created a bright light that illuminated the surroundings and planted green onions with the wild dogs and monkeys.

While they were planting green onions around the farm,

[The Warm Touch of a Farmer Lv. 7 is activated.]

[The cherry tree’s energy is full and cannot be restored further.]

Sejun had completely healed the cherry tree.

And then,

Thud.

[You have harvested a Deep Darkness Cherry.]

[Job experience has slightly increased.]

[Harvesting Lv. 8 proficiency has slightly increased.]

[You have gained 70 experience.]

Sejun gently pulled a Deep Darkness Cherry from the tree. It was a deep, rich red, almost black, and felt heavy and cool in his palm.

At that moment,

Grrrr.

Sejun heard the sound he had heard when he first came to the White Tower.

“Why are you making noise again?”

Sejun asked, looking at the wild dogs.

Peep…

[It wasn’t us…]

The wild dogs shook their heads.

“It’s not you guys?”

That meant…

Grrrr.

Grrr.

It was the real wild dogs. White dogs the size of bulls were foaming at the mouth and running towards the farm.

They had gathered after seeing the light.

Tap tap tap.

The sight of 50,000 wild dogs charging was like a landslide from a giant white mountain, threatening to swallow everything.

Clatter. Clatter.

The Dragon Tooth soldiers, who had been guarding the surroundings, prepared for battle as the wild dogs approached.

The previous two battles had ended immediately because the opponents sensed the Dragon’s aura.

But wild dogs were, in other words, mad dogs. That meant they were insane.

Even though they sensed the Dragon’s aura, the wild dogs fearlessly, and even faster, charged towards the farm.

Clatter. Clatter.

The Dragon Tooth soldiers also advanced to stop them.

Thud!

The battle began as the two forces collided.

[Your Dragon Tooth soldier has defeated a wild dog.]

[You have gained 100,000 experience.]

At first, the Dragon Tooth soldiers were slaughtering the wild dogs, but because there were so many wild dogs, the Dragon Tooth soldiers were soon buried in the white wave.

Grrrr.

As the remaining wild dogs rushed past the Dragon Tooth soldiers with all their might,

“I, Park Sejun, as the master of Ajax Mammuv, command you. Release the seal. Go! Ajax!”

Sejun released Ajax’s seal. He hadn’t leveled up in a while, so let’s go for a massive level-up!

“Okay, hyung! Stand back! I’ll wipe them out!”

Ajax grinned, ready to unleash his power. With the release of the seal, Ajax grew to 30 meters.

Woo-ooo-ooo!

He unleashed a white breath towards the wild dogs.

Thanks to that, the wild dogs were annihilated.

[Guardian Ajax Mammuv has defeated a wild dog.]

[You have gained 50,000 experience, which is 50% of the experience acquired by Guardian Ajax Mammuv.]

[Ajax Mammuv is your slave.]

[You additionally gain 25,000 experience, which is 25% of the experience acquired by Ajax Mammuv.]

[Guardian Ajax Mammuv has defeated a wild dog.]

[You have leveled up!]

[You have gained 1 bonus stat.]

[Strength increases by 10.]

Sejun leveled up 5 times in an instant.

“Heh heh heh. So sweet.”

Staying still
