Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 362

Sejun checked the Intellect Bean option first.

[Intellect Bean]

A bean grown in the Black Tower. It has absorbed lots of nutrients and tastes delicious.

A skilled farmer cultivated it, improving its taste and benefits.

It grows best in poor soil and is amazing at making bad soil healthy again.

Eating it helps build muscle easily. (But eating too many might make your muscles too big.)

Cultivator: Tower Farmer Park Sejun

Expiration Date: 150 days

Grade: A

The Intellect Bean lived up to its name, greatly increasing intelligence.

However, Sejun’s fields were already well-managed and fertile.

“Oh! It says eating this helps build muscle?”

Sejun looked closely at the consumption option. He knew exactly where he could sell these: Earth.

Millions of fitness fans would buy them, guaranteeing sales as long as he harvested them.

“Heh heh heh. This is going to be massive.”

“Puhuhu. Chairman Park, I smell money!”

Theo chimed in, hearing Sejun’s words.

“Heh heh. Just as expected of Vice Chairman Theo. Please sell them well.”

“Puhuhu. Trust me!”

Sejun and Theo grinned wickedly at the brown beans.

“To make money, I need to plant them first.”

Sejun planted the Intellect Beans in the remaining space in the golden Abundance Tree stump pot.

At first, there was an option for 10x growth rate, but now, after using all the power of Abundance, even a 2x growth rate was hard for the pot.

Sejun hadn’t been able to fill the power of Abundance with >Authority: Become Abundant!< because it threatened his life, but now... "Heh heh. Now I have three mugwort juice potions and Orbs of Life." Sejun's base vitality had also increased a lot, and he had two safety nets. "Chairman Park, I'm ready too!" No, there were three. Theo was also massaging Sejun's legs. "Become Abundant!" Sejun held the diluted mugwort juice in his right hand and put his left hand on the golden Abundance Tree stump pot, using his Authority. And then... Gulp. Gulp. [You have consumed diluted Life Mugwort Juice.] [Vitality is restored by 10%.] [You have consumed diluted Life Mugwort Juice.] [Vitality is restored by 10%.] He drank the mugwort juice potion to prepare for the vitality that would be drained. [The power of >Authority: Become Abundant!< is directly applied to the golden Abundance Tree stump pot.] [The power of Abundance is filling the golden Abundance Tree stump pot.] Sejun's vitality was used up as the Authority activated. As expected, his vitality was quickly draining. "!!!" It was draining faster than the mugwort juice potion could restore it. He hadn't expected that. [Vitality has reached its limit.] [Consuming 1 Orb of Life.] Because his vitality was dropping so fast, one Orb of Life broke instantly, immediately refilling Sejun's lost vitality. Luckily, his vitality stopped draining. [You have overcome a life-threatening crisis.] [Due to the talent: Tenacious Vitality, Stamina increases by 1.] "Hoo. That was a bit dangerous." Sejun sighed in relief when he saw the message that his Stamina had increased by 1 after surviving the crisis. Just then... Flash. The golden Abundance Tree stump pot started to glow golden again. The power of Abundance had been recharged. "Heh heh heh." Sejun planted the seeds that needed immediate attention in the pot. Once he finished the work... "Alright. Shall we catch the troublemaker now?" Sejun looked for Fenrir. "Blackie, are you here?" He found Fenrir in the Five-Color Bean Field, covering his eyes and ears with bean leaves and sticking his bottom out, giggling as if something was funny. "Pfft. Is that how you hide?" Sejun laughed at Fenrir's hiding. He carefully walked up to Fenrir and started poking his exposed bottom. Then... Squeak! 'I'm going to get caught at this rate!' Fenrir covered his eyes and ears even more with his front paws. He seemed to think he could hide as long as he couldn't see or hear. "Heh heh heh." Sejun found it funny and kept poking his bottom. At first, Fenrir twitched a few times, but then he stopped reacting, as if he thought he hadn't been caught. Kkirorong. Instead, Fenrir's snoring could be heard. "Blackie, are you sleeping right now?" Sejun was so surprised that he forgot about scolding him. Actually, the thought of scolding him had probably disappeared when he started poking his bottom. "He's going to catch a cold like this." Sejun picked up Fenrir, who was sleeping with his face covered in bean leaves, and put him in the sling bag. Eileen had used magic to make his sling bag bigger on the inside, like a magical backpack, so Fenrir could fit even though he was bigger now. She only made it a little bigger because if it was too big, Fenrir might get lost inside. With Fenrir in the sling bag and Theo hanging on his leg, Sejun went to the Sticky Cornfield. On the way, he saw the path that Pebbles had covered with gemstone ore. It was empty now that all the gems had been collected. "Still, I received something... I should at least make a monument for the sponsor. Move Land." Sejun felt uneasy about the empty path, so he used his skill, striking Miller's hoe into the path. Rumble. A square stone rose up, filling the short, square section of the path. Then... "Vice Chairman Theo, claws." "Got it!" Scratch. Holding Theo's front paw... Scritch. Scritch. He used Theo's dragon claws to engrave words in the center of the stone. [Pebbles Road] -Pebbles, the god of gravel, who gave us gems. He was a good god. To honor the sponsor's achievements, he named this short path Pebbles Road. "Pebbles will be happy with this, right?" Sejun went to the Sticky Cornfield, feeling satisfied. Keaek! Keaek! The mushroom ants passed by Pebbles Road without a second thought. *** "Become Abundant!" Sejun arrived at the Sticky Cornfield, drank the mugwort juice potion, and used his Authority on the corn. As he used his Authority in the middle of the field... -Sejun... Kellion, who had been hiding, appeared and quietly called Sejun. "Ah. Kellion, hello." -Yes. Sejun, do you have any crops that can revive dead land? Kellion was worried that Grave wouldn't have any crops to live on, so he came to Sejun. If Grave didn't have any crops, he wouldn't join the Yongyong Market, and Kellion wouldn't be able to become a Yongyong Market VIP. "Crops that can revive dead land? Ah... I do. A crop that grows well in dead land and restores fertility." Sejun thought for a moment and answered Kellion, remembering the Intellect Bean he had planted earlier. The description said it grew well in dead land and was amazing at restoring fertility. -Oh! Really?! Hahaha... I knew you would have something. Kellion laughed loudly, then quickly looked around and lowered his voice. "But I don't have it right now. I just planted it, so I have to wait." -What? How long? "Well, it'll probably take at least 5 days." -5 days... That's... I'll have to feed him more alcohol. "Yes?" -Ah. Nothing! Then, good work. Just you wait, you guys. Just a little more and... Kellion, having heard what he wanted, hid again, avoiding the other dragons. As Kellion disappeared... "Can't I get one more Golden Box of Abundance?" Sejun was uncomfortable with how slow it was to get seeds while talking to Kellion. 'Or upgrade the Box of Abundance.' It was fast enough now, but as the number of crops he needed to increase grew, he kept wishing for more. "I wish Lady Leah would visit again..." Sejun briefly thought of Leah, the goddess of abundance. "Become Abundant." [>Authority: Become Abundant!< is applied to the Sticky Corn.] [The amount of the next fruit to be borne from the Sticky Corn increases by 2 times.] He used his Authority again to increase the yield of the Sticky Corn. Sejun drank the mugwort juice potion and used all his Authority on the corn in the Sticky Cornfield. "Become Abundant." Finally, he raised the fertility of the field. "Now I need to prepare dinner." He went to the kitchen to cook. A little later... Squawk! [Uncle, we're back!] Kkueng! [Daddy, Kkuengi is here!] The Black Rabbit and Kkuengi, who had received special training from the Bull Demon King, returned together. And then... [The slave of the White Tower wants to return, saying it's quitting time.] [The slave of the Purple Tower wants to return, saying the work is done.] Messages from Ajax and Veronica, who wanted to return, appeared. Everyone knew when dinner was like clockwork. *** Seed Shop Main Branch. [Black Tower Farmer Park Sejun has built a temple for you.] [Divinity increases by 15.] ... .. . [5 sharecropper mushroom ants of Black Tower Farmer Park Sejun have passed by your temple.] [Divinity increases by 0.0005.] "Park Sejun even built a temple for me..." Pebbles was touched as he looked at the message, faintly glowing with the increase in divinity. Sejun had named the path 'Pebbles Road' to honor Pebbles, the god who had sent them gems. It seemed the path had become something like a tiny temple for Pebbles. Messages started appearing, telling Pebbles that he was gaining 'divinity' every time someone walked by. "Divinity can increase like that too..." It was shocking to Leah and the non-combat gods, who had only been raising divinity with Tower Coins until now. "I'm jealous..." "Envious..." Because of that, Leah and the non-combat gods envied Pebbles. He also received Park Sejun's prayers. Park Sejun even built a temple for him. And he steadily received divinity from that temple. "I want a temple that Park Sejun made for me too..." As Leah looked at Pebbles with envious eyes... [Black Tower Farmer Park Sejun desires your descent.] [Divinity increases by 2.] A message appeared in front of Leah. "Oh. Park Sejun wants me to visit?!" The goddess of abundance, Leah, was delighted as she looked at the message. She was especially happy that her divinity had increased by 2. He wants me to visit so much that my divinity increased by 2! To be exact, he wanted her to come and give him one more Golden Box of Abundance or upgrade it, but for now, he did want her to visit... "Park Sejun is waiting for me, so I must prepare for my visit. Farming King!" Leah quickly sent a divine message to her follower, the Farming King, telling him to find Black Tower Farmer Park Sejun. This time, she was planning to ask him to build a temple for her too. *** Black Tower 4th Floor. 'Goddess of Abundance, Leah. I am working hard again today...' The Farming King was growing grapes, making wine, selling it to hunters, and earning money. He prayed to Leah again today. Halphas had summoned all the locusts on Earth, but the Golden Bat destroyed them, so the locusts were gone. Because of that, the demand for sturdy blade green onions had decreased, but the demand for wine remained steady because the bloodsucking leeches were still around. Just then... -My child. Leah answered the Farming King's prayer. 'Should I pray every other day?' The Farming King was feeling burdened by Leah answering his prayers so often these days and was thinking about praying less often. -The time has come! 'The time...?' It hasn't been long since I met Sejun and came back. Leah said "the time" again, and the Farming King asked in a slightly worried voice. He had a bad feeling that he would have to go find Sejun again. And then... -That's right. Park Sejun wants me to visit, so go find Park Sejun right away. Bad feelings were always right. The Farming King packed grape seed oil, which was holy oil, and went up the tower.
