Farming In The Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 377

“Meow, meow, meow.”

Bwee-yot! Bwee-yot!

Oink! Oink!

Theo hummed a happy song as he walked with Bwee-yot and Yuren through the busy merchant passage on their way to the 99th floor of the Tower.

Before meeting Iona, they had planned to visit Kiba, a pickpocket on the seventh line of the blacklist.

However, their leader, Theo, suddenly changed their plans, saying, “I want to see Chairman Park, meow!”

Because of this change, they encountered Jormungandr fragments twice and were robbed eight times, managing to get five white coins and 150 slaves.

Theo’s luck and Yuren’s unluckiness created a remarkable combination.

Just then,

Bwee-yot!

[Theo, we’ve reached a fork in the road!]

A fork in the road appeared before them.

“Puhu-hut. Yuren, lead the way, meow!” Theo said, placing the slave-attracting Yuren in front.

“Yes! Should I prepare the money too?”

“Puhu-hut. Of course, meow!”

And so, the three were devoured by the Jormungandr fragment.

A short while later, Theo reappeared, having gained three white coins and 20 slaves.

“Puhu-hut.”

Theo was far from bored during the journey.

“Black Rabbit, trust me!” Sejun said confidently. He had the Might of Strong Lower Body.

However,

Pyak!

[Uncle, even with the Might of Strong Lower Body, it’s difficult…]

The Black Rabbit, who had already tasted the Might of Strong Lower Body, said in a sad voice.

The Might of Strong Lower Body was already well-known among the rabbits, so the Black Rabbit must have used it too. Father Rabbit would have recommended it to the Black Rabbit, who inherited his genes.

“Really? Th-… then don’t worry!” Sejun said, slightly flustered but still confident.

It’s difficult alone, but… I’ll show the power of collective intelligence!

“Slaves, send me food that’s good for the lower body!”

Just as Sejun asked for help and was comforting the Black Rabbit as they arrived at the farm,

[A slave from the Blue Tower sends 10 bottles of wriggling eel extract, saying that eels are good for the lower body.]

Flash!

A pillar of light appeared in front of Sejun, and 10 small glass bottles appeared.

[Wriggling Eel Extract]

An extract made by boiling 1000 powerfully wriggling steel eels. Consuming it activates the lower body muscles and increases the ability to reproduce. It tastes incredibly fishy. Creator: Zelga, a farmer from the Blue Tower. Expiration Date: 100 years. Grade: B

“Hmm…”

The fishy taste of 1000 eels…

“Black Rabbit, do you want to try this? Huff.” Sejun held his breath and opened the lid, holding it out to the Black Rabbit.

And then,

Pyak! Pyak?!!

[Aargh! What is this?!!] The Black Rabbit screamed, covering its nose. It seemed difficult to eat it as is.

I should feed it to Theo later, who likes fishy tastes…

As Sejun hurriedly closed the lid and put the eel extract into his subspace warehouse,

[A slave from the Purple Tower sends 1kg of ‘Sudden Death’s Night Gate,’ saying that although it has drawbacks, it’s instantly effective for lower body enhancement.]

A pillar of light fell, and a purple herb appeared.

“Sudden Death’s Night Gate?”

It sounds dangerous from the name itself?

Sejun checked the options of the purple herb.

[Sudden Death’s Night Gate]

A poisonous herb grown inside the Purple Tower, it has fully absorbed poison and is at its peak toxicity. Consuming it will poison you, strongly activating the lower body muscles for 10 minutes and greatly increasing the ability to reproduce, but you will die suddenly afterward. It tastes very bitter. Expiration Date: 70 days. Grade: C+

“Is there someone I need to kill…”

It seemed Veronica had a grudge against me.

[A slave from the Purple Tower says they just sent something that came to mind and asks you not to misunderstand.]

Veronica, feeling guilty, hurriedly sent a message.

“I need to hide this so others don’t see it.”

Sejun moved everything to his subspace warehouse, leaving not a single leaf behind, so others wouldn’t eat it.

[A slave from the Green Tower asked his subordinates, and they said that dragon claws are good for the lower body, so he sends 5 pieces of claws that he had cut off.]

Ophelia then sent her claws.

But there was no way claws would have such an effect. It was an unfounded rumor.

“Wow. The claws are as big as my face. Hehehe. I should make a scythe or hoe out of these later.” Sejun said, holding Ophelia’s claws up to his face. Still, thanks to her, he got sturdy materials to make farming tools.

As Sejun put Ophelia’s claws into his subspace warehouse,

[A slave from the White Tower asked his grandfather what food is good for the lower body, but he was scolded for not needing to know, and he’s making a sad face.]

Ajax’s message appeared.

“I’m sorry.”

I’ll make you something delicious later.

[A slave from the White Tower says he wants to eat pancakes and smiles.]

Okay. But if you laugh after crying… never mind.

Sejun wanted to tease him, but he held back because he couldn’t make Ajax, who had just stopped crying, cry again.

After comforting Ajax,

“Hmm. There’s nothing good.”

Sejun was deep in thought. Oric was silent, and none of the things the other slaves sent were good.

I need to send the Black Rabbit back quickly…

“I should at least make a health food with what they sent.”

Wriggling Eel Extract. Sudden Death’s Night Gate.

Remove the poison from the Night Gate with detoxifying green onions, and get rid of the fishy taste of the eel extract with garlic and Samyangju. Add Cheongyang peppers and bean sprouts to give it a spicy and refreshing taste and get rid of the greasiness of the eel…

If I add the Might of Strong Lower Body and octopus to enhance the health benefits…

“Perfect.”

Sejun, who had simulated the cooking in his head, confidently headed to the kitchen.

Just then,

Kieek!

Sejun saw mushroom ants scurrying past with Lea Road.

‘It would be okay to add a few shiitake mushrooms.’

Sejun added shiitake mushrooms to the bean sprout eel soup recipe.

“Hey guys, can you give me some shiitake mushrooms?”

When he approached the mushroom ants and spoke,

Kieek!

The mushroom ants shouted to their comrades,

Kieek!

Five mushroom ants approached with dignified steps. We have the elixir!

[Elixir: Harvested shiitake mushrooms.]

Thanks to this, Sejun harvested 5 shiitake mushrooms grown as elixirs from the backs of the mushroom ants lined up.

“Thank you, guys.”

Sejun thanked the mushroom ants, took the harvested shiitake mushrooms, and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

4th floor of the Black Tower.

“Now. Flesh-Eaters. Devour to your heart’s content.”

Michael, who had arrived leading the mutated cherry tomatoes from the 2nd and 3rd floors of the Tower, said.

The mutated cherry tomatoes, empowered by the power of destruction, were given the ominous name ‘Flesh-Eaters’.

Keee-ek!

At Michael’s command, the Flesh-Eaters slowly moved forward, creating a wave of red and green. Michael had brought all the cherry tomatoes from the experience farm, so their number was enormous.

Squirm. Squirm.

Monsters and hunters alike were grabbed by the vines of the Flesh-Eaters and devoured.

As the Flesh-Eaters devoured their prey, red mists gathered into Michael’s body.

“Heh heh. I’m overflowing with power.”

Michael smiled in satisfaction at the elation he had never felt before.

-To be satisfied with this much power, you are still far from fighting the dragon. Create more Flesh-Eaters and increase your power.

“Heh heh. I understand.”

Michael agreed with the whisper and injected the power of destruction into the ground.

Crack.

The Flesh-Eaters began to grow. They were still young, but they would grow into adults and begin their activities in a few days. In this way, the 4th floor of the Tower began to be cleared by Michael.

However,

“Protect Sejun’s farm!”

As the Dragon Tooth Soldiers protecting Sejun’s grape farm encountered the Flesh-Eaters, Michael lost all his forces in an instant.

The power of the Flesh-Eaters only worked at the level of the 4th floor of the Tower; it did not work against the Dragon Tooth Soldiers. Moreover, the numerical superiority of the Flesh-Eaters was no match for the number of Black Skeletons.

“Damn it!”

Faced with a threat to his life, Michael fled to Earth without a moment’s hesitation, which gave Halphas a great help.

The outskirts of destruction.

Halphas, who had sent giant leeches to Earth because he couldn’t send locusts no matter how hard he tried, said in a bored voice, looking at the Earth, which had become slightly redder than before, “As expected, leeches aren’t efficient.”

Since he had laid his hands on it, he intended to watch until the Earth was completely destroyed, even if it took time.

Just then,

“Huh?! Flesh-Eaters?”

The 8th disaster was born, located between the locusts and the giant leeches, meaning it could still be sent to Earth.

“Heh heh. A new disaster! 8th disaster. Go and show your power.” Halphas sent the Flesh-Eaters to Earth.

“Alright. Completed.”

[Achieved the feat of making the first Might of Strong Lower Body Wriggling Eel Soup in the Tower.]

[The recipe for Might of Strong Lower Body Wriggling Eel Soup is registered at Cooking Lv. 9.]

[Cooking Lv. 9 proficiency slightly increases.]

The cooking was completed with Sejun’s shout.

“Here. Black Rabbit, eat it quickly.”

Since he only made enough for one serving because there wasn’t much eel extract, Sejun hurriedly called the Black Rabbit. He had to feed it before the others ate it.

Pyak!

[Okay!] The Black Rabbit hurriedly ran over at Sejun’s call and quickly ate the health food Sejun made.

“How is it?” Sejun asked with a hopeful voice.

However,

Pyak… Pyak…

[I did get stronger… but it seems a bit weak…] The Black Rabbit shook its head. It seemed he needed better ingredients after all.

“Now only Oric is left.”

Oric, show the power of collective intelligence!

As Sejun waited for a message from his last hope, Oric,

[A slave from the Brown Tower cackles, saying he didn’t know you liked that kind of thing, and sends 5 bottles of Goblin Lower Body Enhancer with a lewd smile.]

Just in time, 5 glass bottles filled with red liquid appeared along with Oric’s message.

No. You! I’m wronged!

Sejun shouted loudly at Oric’s misunderstanding.

[A slave from the Brown Tower cackles, saying he knows everything and asks you to acknowledge his hard work because he specially asked the Goblin Elder and obtained it with difficulty.]

Oric’s misunderstanding was too deep.

“Know… what do you know…” Sejun said with a wronged voice and checked the glass bottles.

[Goblin Lower Body Enhancer]

A medicine made by mixing things that are good for the lower body according to the secret method passed down through generations of the Red Goblin tribe. Consuming it strongly activates the lower body muscles for 3 hours and increases the ability to reproduce, but you cannot stop in the middle. (You may die if you do not have enough stamina.) Usage Restriction: Stamina 3000 or higher. Creator: Itaki, Elder of the Red Goblin Tribe. Expiration Date: 1 year. Grade: B

“That bastard…”

He clearly said it was for me… but seeing that he sent this knowing that my stamina is weak…

‘He was trying to send me off.’

I knew it from the moment he smiled slyly while ‘cackling.’

Sejun decided that he would have to check anything Oric gave him two or three times from now on. Fortunately, this seemed like it would help the Black Rabbit.

“Black Rabbit, how about this?”

When Sejun showed the Goblin Lower Body Enhancer to the Black Rabbit, who was feeling weak,

Pyak!!!

[Uncle, thank you!!!] Confidence suddenly overflowed on the Black Rabbit’s face.

“Good.”

Go! Black Rabbit!

As Sejun nodded,

Pyak!

[Uncle, I’m going!] The Black Rabbit took the glass bottle and hurriedly ran towards home. The Black Rabbit was no longer afraid of the night.

And then,

“Meow?! Where is the Black Rabbit going, meow?!”

Pyak!

“Puhu-hut. I understand, meow! Black Rabbit, good luck, meow! Chairman Park, I’m back, meow!” Theo, who had brought a lot of gifts for Sejun, returned.
