Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 372

White Tower, Administrator’s Area.

“Here you go, Grave. Drink up!” Kellion said, forcing a smile.

“Gahaha! Yes! More drinks!” Grave boomed, holding out his glass.

Kellion’s hand trembled slightly as he poured the precious Samyang liquor. He smiled, but inside, he felt like he was going to cry. This is so much liquor! he thought.

It was only natural that Kellion felt this way. He had been sharing his precious Samyang liquor with Grave for three days already.

Kellion had brought Grave to the White Tower. He was giving Grave liquor while waiting for Sejun to harvest crops. These crops could revive the dead land. After three days, there were over 2,000 empty liquor bottles.

‘Drink a little less! Eat some snacks too!’ Kellion thought.

Kellion barely tasted the Samyang liquor. He gave Grave a sharp look.

But Grave didn’t eat any snacks. He was just chugging the pure Samyang liquor.

To get him to drink the Samyang liquor slowly, Kellion even brought out grilled frog legs. The White Tower kids loved those.

Grave took one bite of the frog leg, frowned, and then just drank the Samyang liquor.

Of course, Kellion himself didn’t eat that snack anymore.

That was because Sejun’s snacks had spoiled his taste. He used to enjoy it as a drinking snack.

‘But Grave hasn’t even eaten Sejun’s snacks…’ Kellion thought.

Kellion was annoyed at Grave. Grave was picky about food, even though he had never tried Sejun’s amazing snacks.

As he glared at Grave,

“Kellion, pour me a drink.”

Grave finished the Samyang liquor in one shot. Then he held out his empty glass. Kellion barely tasted it! And Grave was taking shots?! What a clueless guy.

‘Kellion, cheer up! Becoming a Yongyong Market VIP is not far away!’ Kellion thought.

Kellion unclenched his fist and steeled his resolve.

“Ehehehe. Yes. Drink a lot!”

Kellion put on a friendly smile and poured Samyang liquor into Grave’s glass.

‘I should ask Sejun one more time,’ he thought.

At the same time, he moved the White Dragon statue and went to find Sejun.

Meanwhile, in the Black Tower…

Sejun harvested cherries from two cherry trees. The trees had grown quickly because he used the Potion of Harvest.

A moment later,

“Hehehe. It’s over,” Sejun said.

Sejun looked at the basket full of cherries. He smiled with satisfaction.

He had used >Authority: Become Abundant!> so the harvest doubled. He got almost 4,000 cherries.

And

Mentality increased. Having lots of stuff made him feel good.

“Eileen, here are some cherries,” Sejun said.

He sent Eileen the cherries she would eat. Then,

“Shall I eat one?”

Sejun put a cherry in his mouth.

The message appeared.

“Good. I’ve gotten stronger,” Sejun said.

Sejun had become ‘very slightly’ stronger. He swung his right arm around.

And

Quirong.

“Hehehe. Super Sunfish, Blackie. Now, the gap between you and me has widened even further,” Sejun said.

He looked down at the Fenrir. It was sleeping soundly in the sling bag. He boasted without needing to. Sejun was happy to have a Fenrir weaker than himself.

Sejun ate a few more cherries and

“Now, let’s go harvest Light-Bearing Flowers!”

He went to the Light-Bearing Flowers. They were in full bloom. He began harvesting the Light-Bearing seeds.

After that, he harvested the Intellect Kidney Beans.

“Kaiser, here are 3,500 Dark Deep Cherries,” Sejun said.

Sejun went to Kaiser and gave him all the remaining cherries.

“Kahaha. Thank you! Take this!”

Kaiser gave Sejun 3.5 billion Tower Coins. It was 100,000 Tower Coins per cherry.

After delivering the cherries to Kaiser,

“Where should I go to find Kellion?” Sejun wondered.

“Sejun…”

Kellion was hiding in the cherry tomato field. He called out to Sejun quietly as he passed by.

“Ah. Kellion, I was just looking for you,” Sejun said.

“Really? Don’t tell me you finally have the crops to revive the dead land?”

“Yes. Here you go,” Sejun said.

Sejun handed over the Intellect Kidney Beans.

“Oh! Finally…”

Kellion looked at the Intellect Kidney Beans. He became excited. Then he quickly swallowed the kidney beans and sent them to his main body.

And

“Ehehehe. Thank you, Sejun! Eileen!”

He called out to Eileen and disappeared. He was planning to get the contract from Eileen. He wanted to sign it with Grave right away.

“…I should give him the Light-Bearing seeds a little later,” Sejun thought.

Kellion would probably come soon. He would be in a hurry to increase his purchase amount.

Sejun put the Light-Bearing seeds in his pocket and

Nom.

He had a simple lunch. He ate 3 pieces of fist meat that Eileen had made.

Slurp.

“Kuh. Good,” Sejun said.

Sejun was drinking coffee and resting after lunch.

“Grandpa Kellion, congratulations on becoming a Yongyong Market VIP,” Eileen said.

Kellion gave the contract signed by Grave to Eileen. Then he became a Yongyong Market VIP.

“Ehehehe. Thank you,” Kellion said.

Kellion was happy with Eileen’s congratulations.

But

“What?! I’m not the fourth, but the fifth VIP?”

Kellion was shocked.

“Yes. The fourth VIP is Grandma Brachio,” Eileen said.

“Don’t tell me… Brachio brought Artemis?”

“No. Grandma Brachio’s purchase amount at Yongyong Market was over 1 trillion Tower Coins. That’s why she became a VIP,” Eileen explained.

“What?! A purchase amount of 1 trillion Tower Coins can make you a Yongyong Market VIP?”

“Yes. Haven’t you heard? Now, if your purchase amount is over 1 trillion Tower Coins, you can become a Yongyong Market VIP,” Eileen said.

“That can’t be…”

Kellion had been hiding. Now he realized that the Yongyong Market rules had changed.

Also, the Yongyong Market VIP period is extended by 30 days if the monthly purchase amount is over 300 billion Tower Coins.

And

“My Samyang liquor…”

He regretted the 2,100 bottles of Samyang liquor he had drunk to keep Grave around. Meanwhile, Grave had drunk 100 more bottles of Samyang liquor.

Now, switching to Theo’s story…

Theo and Bbyot followed Yuren. They were going to catch the debtor at the very bottom of the blacklist. They arrived in front of a huge castle.

“Theo, this is the place,” Yuren said.

“Puhuhut. Is this where a guy named Groll is, nyaang?” Theo asked. He grinned and looked at the castle gate.

“Yes. Groll borrowed 1 trillion Tower Coins from me. At first, the debt was 1 million Tower Coins, but…” Yuren explained how he had lent so much money to Groll.

“Strangely, every time Groll put his arm around my shoulder and asked, ‘Do you have money?’, I ended up lending him money,” Yuren said.

“Nyaang?” Bbyot asked.

Anyone could tell he was being scammed. But Yuren looked like he really didn’t understand.

“Uhehe. So, these days, I don’t bring money when I meet Groll,” Yuren said.

Yuren proudly shared his trick for dealing with Groll. He had a bright smile.

‘Such a tempting pushover, nyaang!’ Theo thought.

Theo was shocked by Yuren’s pushover power. No, nyaang! Chairman Park would hate this, nyaang!

“Hurry up and guide me, nyaang!” Theo said.

He composed himself and urged Yuren.

“Yes! Let’s go!”

Yuren stepped forward and knocked on the castle gate.

“Oh. Who is this?! Isn’t it my rich friend?!”

The massive gate opened easily. Groll greeted Yuren. Groll was a muscular hippo. He was 10m tall.

“Our rich friend, do you have some money? If not, I might be a little disappointed…”

Groll tried to put one finger on Yuren’s shoulder. It wasn’t an arm around the shoulder, but a finger around the shoulder.

At that moment,

“Puhuhut. Stop, nyaang!”

Theo blocked Groll’s finger with his forepaw and shouted.

“Hmph! This…”

Groll scoffed and tried to shake off Theo’s forepaw, but

“Ugh! What kind of power…”

Groll’s finger didn’t move.

“Puhuhut. Groll, do you have money, nyaang?” Theo asked.

“…I don’t,” Groll said.

“Puhuhut. Think carefully before you answer, nyaang! If I find it, it’s 1 hit per 1 Tower Coin, nyaang!”

Theo began to threaten Groll.

“I really don’t have any! Search me if you want!”

Groll hadn’t realized what was happening. He lied and shouted.

But

“Puhuhut. Don’t lie, nyaang!”

Theo wasn’t just any cat gangster. He quickly took the money pouch from Groll’s chest. He even checked how much was inside.

“Puhuhut. It’s 10 billion Tower Coins, so it’s 10 billion hits, nyaang! Ten Billion Nyaangta!”

Slap! Slap!

“What?! Ugh…”

Groll fainted. Theo had hit him with his new technique. It was called the Ten Billion Nyaangta. It was 10 billion quick slaps.

“I only managed to hit him 100 million times, nyaang! How disappointing, nyaang!”

Theo was disappointed. He couldn’t finish the Ten Billion Nyaangta. Groll had fainted before he could hit him 10 billion times.

Ppeuhut.

Press.

Bbyot stamped the slave contract. He used the finger of the fainted Groll.

And

“Um… Theo, hit me too…”

Yuren had become brave after seeing Groll faint. He bought the right to hit Groll 100 times from Theo. He paid 10 billion Tower Coins.

“You bad guy! Why am I your friend?! Huh?! I didn’t want to give it to you!!!”

Thwack! Thwack!

Yuren was hitting Groll hard. He was saying that he had lent the money to him. Meanwhile,

“Puhuhut. Found it, nyaang!”

Theo found Groll’s secret warehouse. He split the 1 trillion Tower Coins with Yuren 50/50.

“Puhuhut. Guide me to the nearest debtor, nyaang!”

“Uhehe. Yes!”

Yuren felt better after hitting Groll. He felt confident that he could get money from anyone with Theo.

So, he guided Theo to Iguen. Iguen was on the 5th line of the blacklist.

Next to Iguen’s name was the amount of 4.3 trillion Tower Coins.

Back to Sejun…

Slurp.

“Sejun!”

As expected…

Sejun was drinking coffee. He put down his teacup. He saw Kellion coming to him as soon as he became a Yongyong Market VIP.

Kellion probably wanted to extend his VIP period. He wanted to become the first VVIP.

Sejun sold 4,000 Light-Bearing seeds, Samyang liquor, and Transcendence Black Beans. He received 300 billion Tower Coins.

And

“You guys! I’m here! Now I’m a VIP too!”

Kellion didn’t need to hide anymore. He shouted with a resentful voice. He flew to the fountain where the other dragon statues were.

After finishing the deal with Kellion, Sejun tried to start farming.

The message appeared.

“Ah,” Sejun said.

He hadn’t given permission to plant the Intellect Kidney Beans. He absolutely didn’t try to make Kellion a slave on purpose.

‘I gave it to him just to check. I didn’t know he’d plant it right away,’ Sejun thought.

Because of that, Orik became Sejun’s 5th slave.

Following that, a message appeared saying that the stats had increased.

“Oh dear. What should I do, I feel so sorry,” Sejun said.

Sejun felt sorry for Orik.

But

“Hehehe.”

Sejun smiled. As expected of Chairman Park, who ruled over the gangster Vice Chairman Theo.

At that moment,

A message appeared. It made Sejun laugh even louder.
