Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 415

Kueng suddenly stopped running towards Sejun.

Kueng! Kueng!

Kueng thought, “Ah… that’s right! I’m Detective Kuunan. Detective Kuunan solved it!”

Kueng was confused for a moment. Was he Kueng, or Detective Kuunan? Then, he went back to acting like the detective.

“As expected, Detective Kuunan is amazing,” Sejun said, helping Kueng get into his role.

Kueng was now fully immersed in his Detective Kuunan persona.

“Puhuhut. The case isn’t solved yet, nyaang! Detective Kuunan has only found one clue, nyaang! It’s 0 to 1 now, nyaang!” Theo said, teasing Kueng.

Kueng!

Kueng thought, “Detective Kuunan will win!”

“Puhuhut. I’ll show you the skills of Detective Sherlock Sejun’s famous assistant, Theotson, nyaang!” Theo said.

Kueng!

Kueng thought, “Detective Kuunan will show his skills too!”

“Puhuhut. You can’t beat me, nyaang! I, Theotson, am a master of catching thieves, nyaang!” Theo said.

Theo and Kueng raced into the building, competing with each other.

“What is this place?” Sejun asked, looking around the massive building.

A dusty broom leaned against the stone wall, its straw bristles worn. Dry, brown leaves crunched under Sejun’s feet as he looked around. The air smelled damp and a little like old wood. Stones with traces of time were in various parts of the building, and one wall was replaced with new stones.

It was clear someone had been there. Probably a thief, or a group of them, considering the size of the building.

Just then, Yuren said, “Sejun, someone is living here. It must be the thief who stole my money!”

Sejun’s stomach dropped. He turned sharply. Yuren stood beside him. *Yuren? Where are Theo and Kueng?* A shiver ran down his arms, raising goosebumps on his skin.

“Guys, let’s go together!” Sejun said, hurrying into the building.

“Sejun, let’s go together… Ack!” Yuren shouted.

Yuren, chasing after Sejun, suddenly fell into a pit that appeared in the floor.

Beehyu… Bbyot!

Bbyot sighed and thought, “Hoo… here we go again!” and chased after Yuren.

Meanwhile, back outside the building…

Thud. Thud.

Orga was huge, a giant even among trolls. His skin was a rough, grey-green, and scars crisscrossed his thick arms. He glared at Sejun’s shop with small, angry eyes. “Is that it?!” he asked.

“Yes! That’s right, Boss,” Dully, the Twin Head Ogre and vice-boss of the Undying Clan, replied.

The Undying Clan’s boss, Giant Troll Orga, had been summoned by the big shot on the 93rd floor of the tower for failing to pay the tribute from the 1st floor of the tower and was severely scolded.

So, he came to the 1st floor of the tower himself to collect the tribute.

“It doesn’t look like much. Let’s wrap it up quickly and go. Sweep it away,” Orga said.

“Yes! Boss!” Dully replied.

“Guys, clear the way!” Orga commanded.

“Yes!” the trolls shouted.

“Get out of the way!” Dully shouted.

At Dully’s command, the Undying Clan members pushed the hunters aside, clearing a path towards the shop.

“Aargh!” A hunter screamed.

“What?!” Dully shouted.

The hunters were pushed back.

The trolls quickly cleared a path to the shop.

Thud. Thud.

Orga, with Dully leading the way, slowly followed behind.

Bang!

Thud!

A troll flew through the air and landed in front of Dully.

“What?!” Dully shouted.

“What’s going on?!” Dully asked the troll who had fallen to the ground.

“The… Saintess of Destruction… escaped…” the troll whispered before losing consciousness.

“The… Saintess of Destruction…” Dully repeated.

“Wait… Saintess Egel? *The* Saintess of Destruction?” Head 1 of Dully said, shocked.

“Nah, no way. Can’t be her,” Head 2 of Dully said, dismissive.

“Yeah, she’s like, floor 97 boss, right? Why would she be *here*?” Head 1 of Dully said, still doubtful.

“Hey… look ahead,” Orga said in a terrified voice.

“Yes? Why ahead…?” Dully asked.

Dully was speechless as he looked ahead.

Standing in front of them were Agni of Scorching Flames, the boss of the 99th floor of the tower, who had transformed into a giant, and Egel, the Saintess of Destruction, the boss of the 97th floor of the tower.

The trolls were kneeling before them.

Why are the bosses of the top floors of the Green Tower coming out from here?!

Orga and Dully panicked and tried to run away, but…

Grrrr.

Cerberus the Hellhound, the boss of the 98th floor of the tower, was blocking their path.

“Kneel,” Cerberus commanded.

Thud. Thud.

Orga and Dully knelt faster than anyone else.

“Sign it,” Cerberus said, handing them the contract that Theo had prepared.

[Hunted 1 slave.]

[All stats increase by 1 due to the effect of >Title: Slave Hunter>.]

…

…

…

“Puhuhut. My subordinates are doing well, nyaang! But where is this, nyaang?!” Theo said, looking around after reading the message.

He had entered the building with Kueng, but he was in a completely different place. Kueng was nowhere to be seen.

“Puhuhut. I should go to Chairman Park first, nyaang!” Theo said, moving towards where he felt Sejun was.

“Nyaang!”

Theo thought, “He felt drawn to this room, nyaang!”

Walking along the path, he entered a room with a jade-colored stone in the middle.

“Puhuhut. Looks good, nyaang!” Theo said, grabbing the jade-colored stone without hesitation, even though it looked like a trap.

Boom.

The room shook for a moment.

“What, nyaang?” Theo asked, tilting his head. He left the room and moved towards Sejun.

A little later…

Clang.

Razor-sharp thorns, dripping with thick, purple liquid that looked like poison, shot out from the walls and floor of the room Theo had left.

“Nyaang nyaang nyaang,” Theo hummed, unaware of the danger, and ran towards Sejun.

Kueng?

Kueng thought, “Where is this, yo?”

Kueng!

Kueng thought, “I smell Dad over there, yo! Detective Kuunan found Dad, yo!”

Bang! Bang!

Kueng broke through the walls and moved towards Sejun.

Clang.

Traps appeared.

Kueng! Kueng!

Kueng thought, “You can’t block Detective Kuunan, yo! I have to go quickly, yo!”

Kueng destroyed all the traps with brute force and moved on.

Just then…

Bbyot!

Kuik!

Bbyot and Yuren screamed.

Kueng?

Kueng ran towards the sound.

Rumble.

Kueng saw Bbyot and Yuren running away from a giant stone ball.

Kkueng!

“[Make way!]”

Kkueng shouted to the two of them, stretching his front paws forward.

And then,

Wham!

With an explosive sound, the stone sphere shattered into dust. It was the Kkueng Manbo Fist.

Beep beep…

“[We’re alive…]”

“Kkueng, would you like some pocket money?”

Yuren was very thankful to Kkueng and wanted to give him some pocket money.

Kkueng!

“[My dad told me not to take money from just anyone!]”

Kkueng refused Yuren’s money.

“Am I just anyone…?”

Yuren looked down, hurt.

Where am I?

Sejun looked around the dead-end corridor. It was narrow and damp, the stone walls cold to the touch.

As soon as he stepped through the doorway, a strange, dizzy feeling washed over him. Everything went black for a moment. Sejun felt like he had suddenly been moved to a new place.

*Thud. Thud.* His own footsteps echoed in the silence.

Since it was a dead end, he had no choice but to walk forward.

Suddenly, Batbat’s voice popped into his mind. *(Sejun, watch out!)*

Batbat, who had been quietly resting on Sejun’s foot, suddenly became alert. He quickly flapped his small wings towards the stone floor just ahead.

A rush of wind pushed down on the floor.

*Creak.*

A low, grinding sound filled the corridor. Giant iron skewers, sharp and rusty, began to rise slowly from the stone floor.

“Whoa!” Sejun jumped back, his heart pounding. “What are *those*?!”

He stared at the deadly trap, his breath catching in his throat. He had almost walked right into them!

Hee hee hee.

In contrast, Kamang was sleeping comfortably.

Kamang was still sleeping soundly. ‘He’s just like a baby puppy,’ Sejun thought, smiling.

Thinking that it would be better not to experience such a situation, Sejun completely closed the sling bag.

(Just a moment.)

Batbat flapped his wings to cut the iron skewers and flew forward.

Wham! Wham!

(Phew. It’s okay now!)

He returned after destroying all the traps in front.

Thanks to him, Sejun was able to move comfortably.

As he continued along the corridor,

“Huh? It’s Theo.”

He could feel Theo coming this way.

“Let’s rest here for a bit.”

(Yes!)

Sejun waited for a moment.

“Chairman Park, I missed you so much!”

Theo ran over and hugged Sejun’s face.

“Yeah. I missed you so much too!”

Sejun greeted Theo more warmly than usual.

Just then,

Rumble.

Rumble.

Boom.

The vibrations were rapidly approaching Sejun’s location.

“What is it?”

Sejun held Theo’s body with both hands and took a defensive stance, ready to defend at any moment.

A moment later.

Wham!

The wall in front of Sejun collapsed.

And then,

Kkueng!

“[I found Daddy!]”

Tap tap tap.

Kkueng hurriedly ran to Sejun.

“Kkueng!”

Sejun greeted Kkueng as if he hadn’t seen him in decades.

Beep!

“[We’re alive!]”

“Theo, I missed you!”

Piyot and Yuren appeared, following behind Kkueng.

The group was reunited.

“But where should we go?”

Kkueng!

“[Detective Kkuenan smelled the thief earlier! Trust Detective Kkuenan!]”

Kkueng raised his front paw and shouted confidently.

“Hehe. No! I feel a strong pull from over there!”

Theo also raised his front paw and shouted confidently.

Kkueng!

“[Kkueng is right!]”

“No! My paw’s pull has never been wrong!”

The two started bickering again.

“Guys, calm down. You’re both right. Let’s go to where Theo feels the pull first.”

Theo’s pull must be leading us to the treasure the thief stole. Let’s get the treasure first, and then we can chase after the thief.

“Hehe. Follow me!”

Kkueng…

Theo was cheered up by Sejun’s words, while Kkueng became gloomy.

“Detective Kkuenan, don’t be too sad. I’ll give you a five-star stamp instead.”

Hehehe. Kkueng?!

“[Hehe. Really?!]”

“Yeah. Here. Take out the paper.”

Kkueng!

“[Okay!]”

Sejun, having cheered up Kkueng, followed Theo’s guidance and moved along the pull.

And then,

“Wow…”

They arrived at a huge warehouse. It was filled with treasures! Gold coins glittered in piles as high as tables. Jewels sparkled like stars, and colorful paintings leaned against the walls.

“Theo, grab what you’re drawn to first, and the rest, put the jewels in!”

“Okay!”

Kkueng!

Piyot!

“Yes!”

Following Sejun’s instructions, the group began collecting the jewels.

“Chairman Park, I feel a strong pull from inside here!”

Sejun, guided by Theo, stood in front of a pile of jewels.

“From here?”

“That’s right!”

Whoosh.

Theo answered and dove into the pile of jewels as if diving.

A moment later.

Pop.

Theo’s thick front paw emerged from the pile of jewels.

Sejun pulled on Theo’s front paw, and Theo appeared, holding a black diamond in his other paw. It was perfectly smooth and cold to the touch, and it seemed to absorb all the light around it.

“Hehe. Chairman Park, this is it!”

Theo confidently held out the black diamond to Sejun, dangling from Sejun’s hand.

[Skill Stealing Stone]

Sejun took the black diamond and examined it closely.

[Skill Stealing Stone]
An item made of black diamond.

“It can steal skills?”

Then, if I steal and store Theo or Kkueng’s skills…

Hehe. Will I also use the NyanNyan Storm Fist and Kkueng Hoo?

As Sejun smiled, imagining enemies falling to his skills,

-What? You dare to use me? Then you must first pass the test of Copycat Capi!

At the same time as a haughty voice was heard in his head, Sejun lost consciousness.

Whimper…

“[Let me sleep in peace…]”

Kamang closed his eyes, fussing in his sleep, and entered Sejun’s mental world.
