Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 336

Smack. Smack. Smack.

“Our Blackie’s eating well. Want another one?”

Sejun, watching Fenrir eat with gusto, pulled out another dried sweet potato treat.

Whine!

‘Give me that one too!’

Fenrir abandoned his own sweet potato and eyed the one Sejun held. He assumed no one would want the one he had already slobbered on.

However,

Huh?!

[What’s this sweet potato?!]

Nom.

Kkueng, who had woken up feeling peckish, quickly snatched up the sweet potato that had fallen on the floor.

And then,

Hee hee hee. Whine…

‘Hee hee. Now I have two sweet potato treats…’

Fenrir, who had received a sweet potato from Sejun, turned around and discovered Kkueng eating his.

Whine!!!

‘How dare you steal *my* sweet potato!’

Fenrir was furious.

Whine! Whine!

‘Hey! He ate mine! Punish him!’

He appealed to Sejun about his injustice.

“Kkueng ate Blackie’s? Then you can just have a new sweet potato. Kkueng, you can have another one too.”

Kkuhehehe.

Hee hee hee.

Giving each of them another sweet potato solved the problem very neatly.

As Sejun was giving sweet potatoes to Kkueng and Fenrir,

Kkeak!

Kkeak!

Scritch. Scritch.

The mushroom ants began milling the rice that Sejun had harvested.

“Thank you, everyone.”

Plop. Plop.

[You have harvested shiitake mushrooms.]

[Your job experience has increased very slightly.]

[The proficiency of Harvesting Lv. 8 has increased very slightly.]

[You have gained 1 experience.]

Sejun thanked the mushroom ants as he picked mushrooms from their backs.

A short while later.

“Hum hum hum.”

Sejun hummed as he carried the milled rice and mushrooms to the kitchen.

Today’s menu was mushroom rice.

He planned to add fried eggs and side dishes to the meal. In addition to mushrooms, he also added ginkgo nuts and chestnuts to the rice.

As Sejun started cooking the rice,

“Soy sauce… with chili peppers and crushed garlic…”

Sejun carefully mixed soy sauce in a small bowl. He added a pinch of bright red chili peppers and then crushed garlic with the side of his knife, the strong smell waking him up even more.

Just then,

Thud.

“Hyung… what are we having for breakfast today?”

Ajax, still half-asleep, rubbed his eyes and flew onto Sejun’s shoulder, clinging to him.

“Mushroom rice. Want to taste this?”

Sejun replied, dipping his pinky finger in the sauce and putting it in Ajax’s mouth.

Smack.

“Hyung! It’s delicious!”

“Really? The rice will be ready soon. Just wait a little.”

“Okay…”

Aro long.

Still sleepy, Ajax fell asleep on Sejun’s shoulder.

Pat. Pat.

Sejun patted Ajax’s back as he waited for the rice to finish cooking.

Meanwhile,

Kkueng! Kkueng!

[Blackie, sit! If you listen to me, I’ll give you this!]

Kkueng shook a sweet potato, trying to get Fenrir to ‘sit’.

He was trying to make Blackie his subordinate by making him listen to him.

However,

‘I am a noble wolf. Once I choose someone to offer me food, I don’t change.’

Fenrir squeezed his eyes shut to protect his loyalty (?) to Sejun. I won’t look.

Kkueng?

[Blackie likes this, why aren’t you doing it?]

As Fenrir was refusing the sweet potato that Kkueng was shaking,

“Everyone, let’s eat!”

Sejun called them.

Kkueng! Kkueng!

[Okay! Blackie’s coming too!]

At Sejun’s call, Kkueng hurriedly took Blackie and ran to the kitchen.

And then,

“You put this sauce in and mix it.”

Kkueng! Kkueng!

[Okay! I’ll enjoy the meal!]

“Okay! Hyung! I’ll enjoy the meal!”

“Yes. Sejun, I’ll enjoy the meal.”

After listening to Sejun’s explanation, Kkueng, Ajax, and Veronica put the sauce in the mushroom rice and began to mix and eat it.

Kkuhehehe. Kkueng! Kkueng!

[Hehehe. It’s really delicious! There are chestnuts inside too!]

“Sejun is a genius!”

“Oh my! Sejun, it’s really delicious!”

Compliments poured in.

‘Hehehe. Praise me more.’

Sejun pretended not to listen, but he was pleased.

At that moment,

[Your soul is filled with the pouring compliments.]

[Your mental strength has increased by 1.]

His mental strength increased along with the message.

“Huh?!”

It wasn’t just from farming? Sejun accepted the newly discovered fact and said,

“Blackie, let’s eat too.”

He scooped some mushroom rice into Fenrir’s bowl, who had been waiting in front of it.

Then,

Whine! Whine!

‘I just begged (?) another kid to offer me food and eat it, but he refused! You should know you’re lucky to be chosen by me!’

Fenrir told Sejun about what had just happened.

Lick.

He touched his tongue to the rice.

…!!!

At the same time, Fenrir’s eyes widened.

‘It’s so delicious!’

Smack. Smack. Smack.

Fenrir fell in love with the taste of the mushroom rice and began to gobble it down, burying his nose in the bowl.

And then,

“Hehehe. Blackie, you should know you’re lucky.”

Because only I, Park Sejun, can make food like this. Hehehe.

Sejun looked down at Fenrir with a satisfied expression.

At that moment,

Kkuhehehe. Kkueng!

[Hehehe. Kkueng is eating another bowl!]

“Hehe! Me too!”

“Huh?!”

Sejun spotted the two approaching to get more rice. My rice!

Sejun hurriedly began scooping his own rice from the pot.

***

The treasure vault of the Kaiman Kingdom on the 84th floor of the tower.

The inside was pitch black.

Because they had forcibly broken into the treasure vault through the ceiling instead of the entrance, the magic that should have been activated was not.

“Iona, make it bright, meow!”

“Ahem, ahem, ahem. Yes! Just a moment!”

Theo spoke. Iona looked at the magic circle around them. She pushed her magic into it, making it work.

Whoosh.

As the magic circle activated, the treasure vault lit up.

Golden statues greeted Theo and Iona, radiating brilliant light.

However,

“Meow, meow, meow.”

Theo ignored the gold and walked deeper into the treasure vault, drawn by a powerful pull.

Creak.

He opened the door at the end of the room filled with golden statues and found another room filled with various items.

“Not here either, meow!”

There was a pull, but it wasn’t the powerful one that had drawn him here. Theo passed through the second room as well.

Creak.

Theo opened the door to the third room.

In the center of the third room was a massive altar, and on the altar stood a giant crocodile-man statue.

“Puhu-hut. There it is, meow!”

Theo’s eyes sparkled as he looked at the green gem in the statue’s chest. He would take that to Chairman Park, meow!

“Theo, be careful!”

Iona shouted. She sensed a dangerous feeling from the statue.

Just then,

Rumble.

The statue began to move. No, it crumbled.

A damp, dark energy flowed from the statue.

The black energy swirled around Theo and Iona before entering Iona’s body.

However,

-?!!!

-Who are you?!

There was already someone there.

Nightmare, the Nightmare Overlord who lived by feeding off Iona’s mind, chased away the black energy.

The black energy was pushed out of Iona’s body.

“Theo, get away!”

As Iona shouted, the black energy entered Theo’s body.

“Theo-!”

“Iona, my body feels strange, nyaaaang…”

Plop.

Theo lost consciousness.

‘All my kin are dead…’

The crocodile god Kaiman was fading away as the Kaiman royal family, who had given him power, all died.

Then he saw two people entering his altar.

‘Heh heh heh. The heavens haven’t abandoned me, the crocodile god Kaiman, after all.’

Kaiman smiled slyly as he looked at the two.

He hurriedly withdrew his energy from the statue and examined their bodies.

Both had bodies that could handle his power.

Especially when he felt the powerful magic in the white hamster’s body,

‘I’ve decided on you!’

Kaiman immediately entered Iona’s body to take it over.

However,

…?!!!

There was already a being with a powerful will that even he, a god, couldn’t handle.

‘I have to live first, so I can’t help it.’

Kaiman was pushed out of Iona’s body. He quickly chose another body – the cat beside her.

-Phew. That’s a relief.

Fortunately, Kaiman sighed in relief, having entered a body to stay in before disappearing. He cut off the link between Theo’s mind and body.

-Heh heh heh. Now, all I have to do is destroy the mind in this body.

The crocodile god Kaiman laughed and looked down at Theo, who was so small he could only be seen if he looked closely.

This was Theo’s mental world.

Kaiman was the tribal god of crocodiles, and Theo was just an ordinary cat. The difference in their power was obvious in their size.

“Meow! A mountain of grilled fish, meow! A pond of delicious cat treats, meow!”

Theo, unaware of the danger, was distracted by the grilled fish and cat treats all around him.

Since it was Theo’s mental world, it was filled with only the things Theo liked.

Just then,

Snatch.

“Nyaang?!”

Kaiman grabbed Theo by the scruff of the neck and brought him in front of his face.

“Hey! Let me go!” Theo hissed, struggling in the giant’s grip. “Who are you? What do you want?”

-Heh heh heh. I am Kaiman, the god of crocodiles. I will make good use of your body.

“How dare you attack the deadly Dragon Claw Golden Cat Theo Park-nim! I’ll punish you, meow!”

Snap.

Theo pulled out his dragon claw and Whoosh!

Swung his paw widely. It was One Meow Island.

However,

Ting!

Theo’s technique did not hurt Kaiman.

No matter how strong the dragon claw was in reality, it was only as strong as Theo’s mental strength in the mental world.

“Nyanyang! Nyanyang!”

Theo did not give up and attacked Kaiman again with the Meow Meow Storm Fist, but it did not harm Kaiman.

-Heh heh heh. Now, disappear.

As Kaiman opened his mouth to swallow Theo,

“Chairman Park, help me, meow!”

Theo cried out to Sejun.

-Heh heh heh. What nonsense are you talking about? This is your mental world. No one can help you.

Kaiman laughed at Theo.

“No, meow! Chairman Park is great, so he can do anything, meow!”

Theo shouted confidently at Kaiman.

To Theo, a huge fan of Sejun, Sejun was always all-powerful. Chairman Park always helps me when I call him, meow!

An answer without logic or common sense.

Just then,

Thud. Thud.

A giant shadow covered Kaiman. It was Sejun’s shadow, so large that it almost took up all of Theo’s mental world.

‘Puhu-hut. I hope Chairman Park’s knees are big, meow!’

Theo always wished that Sejun’s knees would grow bigger, and as Theo wished, a giant Sejun was born in Theo’s mental world.

-H-How can there be such a giant in the mental world…

Kaiman was flustered as he looked at the giant looking down at him.

It was strange. No matter how weak the mind was, it couldn’t be as small as Theo’s.

But now he understood.

‘Crazy! He believes in others more than himself?! That too, so absolutely?!’

Kaiman couldn’t understand, but it was natural for Theo, a fan of Sejun.

As Kaiman was flustered,

“Puhu-hut. I knew Chairman Park would come to save me, meow! Giant Chairman Park, punish him, meow!”

Wham!

With Theo’s shout, giant Sejun stomped on Kaiman.

And Crumble.

Trickle trickle.

Sejun was creating a new mountain of grilled fish and a pond of cat treats as if nothing had happened.

It was no exaggeration to say that Sejun was creating Theo’s mental world.

“Puhu-hut. It’s giant Chairman Park’s knee, meow!!!”

Theo, excited to see the giant Sejun’s knee, climbed up the giant Sejun’s leg.

“Meow?! Where did giant Chairman Park’s knee go, meow?!”

Theo reconnected with his body, regained consciousness, and looked for giant Sejun’s knee.

And Floor 99.

“Hum hum hum.”

[You have harvested the corn of stamina.]

…

[You have destroyed the mind of Kaiman, the tribal god of crocodiles]

[You have gained 100 million experience.]

[You have achieved the feat of destroying a tribal god.]

[As a reward for the achievement, you have acquired the >Title: God Slayer>.]

A message suddenly appeared in front of Sejun, who was humming and harvesting corn, saying that he had destroyed Kaiman.

“Huh?! Me?”
