Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 391

“Father, you should have just handed over the chairman position willingly.” Michael said as he entered the grand house.

“Michael, you’re insane! Killing a dragon that doesn’t even exist? Get a grip!” William, the chairman of Gagel, retorted angrily. Hundreds of Hunters surrounded Michael.

A few days ago, Michael emerged from the Tower and began acting strangely. He had started killing people – not just one or two, but hundreds.

When William heard about this, he sent Hunters to stop Michael and asked why he was killing people.

“Heh heh heh. To kill the dragon and rule the Tower, I need power. Give me your chairman position, Father. Then…” Michael, spouting nonsense, was confined to a mental hospital for Hunters.

However, Michael killed all the Hunters and guards in the hospital and escaped, appearing here.

“It’s fine to kill him. I have plenty of children.”

“Yes.” The head of the guard team responded to William and signaled the other Hunters.

The Hunters quickly charged at Michael.

“Heh heh heh. That’s how you should come at me. Then I’ll take the chairman position by force.” Michael smirked and charged towards the Hunter approaching head-on.

“This can’t be…” The fight ended in an instant. A massacre by Michael. No one properly saw Michael’s movements.

“Then, goodbye.”

“Michael, save… Ack!” Michael became the new chairman of Gagel.

Boom! The cave was as bright as day, thanks to the massive amount of lightning striking the ground. Inside the cave were residential facilities and a large field where thousands of elves lived.

The elves usually farmed quietly, but now… “Cecilia, fighting!” “Cecilia, do your best!” All the elves were standing around the cherry tomato field, cheering on the blonde elf who was diligently harvesting cherry tomatoes.

Cecilia, the top farmer of the Golden Tower, was participating in the first competition of the harvest festival: the cherry tomato harvesting contest.

Recently, an elf harvesting cherry tomatoes, the staple food of the elves, harvested the High Elf’s cherry tomato altar. Cecilia offered the 15 crops she had harvested to the altar and opened the harvest festival.

Thanks to that, the first competition of the harvest festival, the cherry tomato harvesting contest, was held, and Cecilia participated in the competition.

The result… [Cherry Tomato Harvesting Contest Ranking] 1st place – Cecilia (13,172) 2nd place – Panelli (2,300) … .. .

Of course, Cecilia took first place with an overwhelming score.

“Cecilia, that’s unfair!” “Cecilia is greedy!” Instead, she received the resentment of the young elves.

And so, she received 5 A-grade magic cherry tomatoes as the reward for first place.

[Magic Cherry Tomato] Unlike the regular cherry tomatoes they ate, these were items. The producer was Park Se-jun, the top farmer of the Black Tower. He was a fellow top farmer like herself.

“It raises magic power by 10 for 10 minutes?!” Magic power of 10 was almost useless, but it was amazing that magic power could be increased just by eating crops.

Still, he must not have focused on the taste, so it probably won’t taste as good as my cherry tomatoes. In Cecilia’s common sense, that was obvious. If part of the nutrition went to magic power, the taste would naturally decrease.

“Still, I should taste it. Kids, try one each.”

“Thank you!”

Cecilia smiled, offering the magic cherry tomatoes to the eager young elves. Then, she picked one for herself. It felt heavier than her own tomatoes, and the skin gleamed with a deeper, richer red. She popped it into her mouth and bit down gently.

Splash!

Not just juice, but a burst of pure flavour exploded across her tongue. …!!! Cecilia’s eyes widened. This was unlike anything she had ever tasted. It wasn’t just sweet; it was sunshine captured in a tiny sphere, with a hint of tangy zest that danced on her palate. Delicious wasn’t a strong enough word. It was… extraordinary.

“Bursting with juice” was an understatement. It was a flavour that sang, that made her senses tingle. Cecilia closed her eyes for a moment, savouring every drop, every nuance of the incredible taste.

She looked at her hand to eat a new cherry tomato, but… “Wow! It’s really delicious!” “Is this a cherry tomato?!” It was already taken by the other elves.

“Cecilia, you idiot! Why did you offer it?!” Cecilia, unable to forget the taste of the cherry tomato, blamed herself for over a day.

[The second competition of the harvest festival, the cherry tomato eating contest, will begin shortly.] [Participants who wish to participate in the competition should gather in front of the High Elf’s giant cherry tomato altar.] The second competition of the harvest festival began.

“I won’t give it to anyone this time!” Cecilia firmly resolved and participated in the competition.

“Heh heh heh. Where should we go to get the land deed for the 75th floor of the Tower, meow?” Theo asked the group. They had been everywhere they could think of, so he was asking the group where to go.

“Wooheehee. Shouldn’t we just ask a merchant we see passing by? They’ll probably tell us, right?” Yuren answered Theo’s question with a slightly dazed face, smiling. It was a face that made you want to scam him.

At this point, isn’t it Yuren’s fault, not the scammer’s, meow? Asking with that dazed face, and he has so much money… It’s a face that makes even ordinary people want to scam him, wouldn’t you say?

While Theo was pondering the topic of ‘Whose fault is it that Yuren gets scammed, meow?’ “Kkyut kkyut kkyut. I contacted the association and found out a bit. The land deed for the 75th floor of the Tower is with the Wandering Merchant Association, and the land deed for the 68th floor is held by the Lizardmen’s king, Lizard King.” Iona opened her eyes and answered.

She seemed to be asleep, but she had the vice president find out the location of the land deed. The information power of the Mage Association was amazing.

“Meow?! Is that true, meow?! Iona, thank you, meow!”

“Kkyut kkyut kkyut. I’m glad I could help Theo!”

“But where is the Lizard King, meow?”

Beep! Beep! [I know! The Lizard King is on the 69th floor of the Tower!]

When something he knew came up, Bbyot quickly raised his wings and answered.

“Heh heh heh. Then we can stop by the 75th floor and then go to the 69th floor, meow!” Thanks to Iona’s information, Theo and his group headed straight to the 75th floor of the Tower without wandering.

At that moment, Beep! [Theo, it’s a fork in the road!]

A fragment of Jormungandr, brought about by Yuren’s misfortune, appeared.

“Heh heh heh. Yuren, which way, meow?”

“Um… I want to go to the left.”

“Okay, meow!” Theo, hearing Yuren’s answer, swung his front paw towards the left path. Then, Crack. The left path split into six pieces. No, the fragment of Jormungandr.

Clink. Beep! Bbyot quickly flew and picked up the falling white coins.

After defeating the Jormungandr fragment and moving a little further, “Heh heh heh. Lucky me. To meet three fresh fellows here. Your life force will be mine, as Roku the Absorption Mage takes it. Of course, your belongings too…” A green goblin wearing a black robe appeared, but…

“I don’t like that laugh, meow!” Thwack! Theo hit him on the back of the head and knocked him out.

Beep! [Stamp it!] Stamp. In the meantime, Bbyot took out the slave contract, got Roku’s handprint, and looted his belongings.

“Kkyut kkyut kkyut. Theo, hand Roku over to me. He’s wanted by our Mage Association. I’ll give you the bounty in return.”

“Heh heh heh. Okay, meow! But how much is the bounty, meow?”

“Kkyut kkyut kkyut. 5 million Tower Coins.” They also got an additional bounty.

Heh heh heh. As expected, you get a lot when you’re with Yuren, meow! Theo smiled brightly and moved towards the 75th floor of the Tower with a dignified gait.

A little later, When Theo and his group arrived at the chairman’s office of the Wandering Merchant Association, “Mage Association Chairman Iona, Great Merchant Yuren, Diplomat Bbyot of the Cove Kingdom, and Theo, welcome. It’s nice to meet you. So, Theo, you’ve passed the first stage of the Great Merchant promotion test.” Mason greeted the group and said that Theo had passed the first stage of the Great Merchant promotion test.

“Meow?! What are you talking about, meow?!” Theo was flustered by Mason’s words. He was going to take the promotion test with Chairman Park, meow! He can’t pass now, meow!

“Didn’t you know? The first stage of the Great Merchant promotion test is to bring three renowned figures from the Black Tower to confirm the Great Merchant’s connections. Yuren told me in advance that you were all coming together…”

“No, meow! This is canceled, meow! I, Vice Chairman Theo, will not take the Great Merchant promotion test yet, meow!” Theo, who wanted to pass the Great Merchant promotion test with Se-jun, shouted.

“Ah… I understand. Then, if you’re not going to take the Great Merchant promotion test, why are you here…?” Mason asked why Theo had come to see him at Theo’s protest.

“Heh heh heh. Chairman Mason, sell the land deed for the 75th floor of the Tower to me, Vice Chairman Theo, meow!”

“The land deed for the 75th floor? Just a moment.” Mason ordered his subordinate to bring the land deed for the 75th floor of the Tower. However, “Um… Chairman…” The subordinate came empty-handed and reported to Mason in a whisper.

“Hmm. If only you had come a little earlier… It was sold 10 minutes ago.” It had already been sold.

“Meow?! Who did you sell it to, meow?!”

“That’s… I don’t know. They received five times the market price in exchange for not asking their identity.”

“Kkyut kkyut kkyut. Theo, let’s get out of here quickly! They’ll still be nearby if it’s only been 10 minutes!”

“Okay, meow!” Theo came out. Where is the land deed for the 75th floor of the Tower, meow? Theo stretched out his two front paws and called for the land deed for the 75th floor of the Tower with a desperate heart. I, Vice Chairman Theo, have golden front paws, meow!

Then, he felt a pull. However, “Meow!” There was more than one pull. He’ll check them all, meow!

“Let’s go, meow!” Theo grabbed Bbyot and Yuren with his front paws, used his quick cat-like movement, Nyangbo, and disappeared. Theo quickly moved and checked the things that felt the pull, but they were not the land deed, but other items.

“There’s only one left, meow!” Theo moved towards the last pull. And “Stop there, meow!” Theo called out to the brown Orc who felt the pull.

“What’s the matte… Oh? Who is this?!” The brown Orc looked back at the sound of someone calling him, and then smiled brightly when he found Yuren.

“Baka?” Banmyeong Yuren’s expression was not good. Of course. Baka was the one who received a commission fee of 1.3 trillion to find treasure for Yuren, and then abandoned Yuren in the maze and ran away. Thanks to that, he was proudly ranked 10th on Yuren’s blacklist.

I was going to buy a quiet farm and live quietly, but is this God’s revelation to do one last big hit? Baka looked at Yuren and shone his eyes.

“Yuren, I’m sorry about that time. I lost my way back then…” Baka hurriedly prepared for the next scam.

“Oh?! You didn’t abandon me?!” If Yuren was alone, it would be a misfortune to be scammed, but the moment he was with Theo, Yuren’s misfortune disappeared and returned to Theo’s luck.

“Kkyut kkyut kkyut. Theo, he’s the client killer Baka who deliberately abandons clients in dangerous places and runs away! The bounty from the Mercenary Association is 15 million Tower Coins, and if you add other bounties, it’s over 100 million Tower Coins!” Thanks to Iona, who can get association information in real time, he was able to get a lot of bounty.

“Heh heh heh. Let’s stamp it first and talk, meow!” Theo smiled and approached Bakaga, and Heh heh. Bbyot took out a copy of the slave contract and prepared to stamp it.

“Wooheeheehee.” Yuren also took out money from his arms, thinking about hitting Baka.
