Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 430

Sejun stared at Blacky, who was wagging his tail happily. “Wait a minute, Blacky,” Sejun thought. “Weren’t you just supposed to be a normal dog? A weak little mutt?”

Suddenly, a message popped up in front of Sejun: [Hee hee! Tell me again how great I am! More! More!] Blacky whined softly, as if agreeing with the message.

Sejun blinked, a funny feeling of betrayal bubbling up inside him. He watched Blacky’s message, pretending to be annoyed but secretly amused. “Our Blacky,” he thought, “the dog I thought was so fragile, like he was made of wet paper, is actually a noble wolf! With a fancy family history and amazing powers!”

“Dangerous!” Sejun muttered to himself, only half-joking.

His position, barely escaped from being the weakest on the 99th floor of the Black Tower, was being threatened.

“I’m the second weakest!”

It was a great joy for Sejun to have Blacky beneath him, but even Blacky was stepping over Sejun.

As Sejun was lamenting,

[You currently have 5 trillion Tower Coins.]

[Money is severely lacking.]

“Of course, it’s lacking.”

Should I leave Blacky out?

I wanted to go together, but if there’s no money, there’s nothing I can do.

Blacky, I’m sorry. But I have to go.

Just as Sejun was thinking of leaving Blacky on the 1st floor of the Tower,

[Converting the treasures in the subspace warehouse into cash.]

“Huh?!”

What are you selling? Even if you sell them, how much…

[Acquired 27 quintillion 300 million Tower Coins.]

“Oh!”

It seemed that the Blackster’s treasures were worth more than he thought.

[Taking 300 million Tower Coins in cash from Theo Park’s [Wandering Merchant’s Bundle Roaming the Nine Towers].]

[Converting the treasures in Theo Park’s [Wandering Merchant’s Bundle Roaming the Nine Towers] into cash.]

[Acquired 3 quintillion.]

What was in Theo’s bundle?

Just as Sejun was wondering,

[Taking 3,000 Tower Coins in cash from Kkuengi Park’s allowance pouch.]

“Hey! You can’t touch Kkuengi’s allowance!”

Our Kkuengi worked so hard to fill up the stamp card for praise; I felt like I had to refill it later without Kkuengi knowing.

When all the money from the party was combined,

[You currently have 30 quintillion 5 trillion 300 million 3,000 Tower Coins.]

An unimaginable amount of money was gathered.

However,

[Spending 30 quintillion to stay on Earth for 3 hours.]

The time he could stay with that money was only 3 hours.

“What?! Not 3 days, but 3 hours?!”

There’s so much to do!

I have to go to America, go to the amusement park with the kids, and watch the dramas I’ve missed while eating Mom’s food…

[Moving to Earth.]

Before he could argue, Sejun’s vision turned black, and he was transported to Earth.

The nine Black Towers had been creating a safe zone in Korea.

However, with Michael removing the Black Towers in Korea, only three remained: two in Gangnam and Hannam-dong.

“Heh heh heh. If I remove just one more, the safe zone will disappear.”

As Michael approached the Black Tower in Gangnam with a bitter smile,

“Ugh!”

Stagger.

Michael stumbled as his leg caught on a tree root.

“Ugh. Annoying. Why are there so many tree roots near the towers in Seoul!”

Michael grumbled and approached the Black Tower again.

[What should I do? Should I step in?]

The Flame was anxiously stamping its roots while watching him.

The moment it stepped in, the vicinity, at least Gangnam, would disappear. So, it was watching Michael and interfering with its roots.

However, as Michael tried to remove the last remaining safe zone, Flame had to make a decision.

If the safe zone disappears, Sejun won’t be able to come to Earth.

Sejun, please come quickly!

As Flame prepared to pull out its roots with a nervous heart, hoping it wouldn’t have to step in,

“Earth! I have returned!”

Sejun appeared in front of Michael, cheering.

‘Who is this guy?’

Michael reached out his hand to get rid of Sejun, who suddenly appeared in front of him, like swatting away an annoying fly.

He was trying to eliminate Sejun as the fastest way to achieve his mission.

Until now, he hadn’t done anything noticeable to make his work easier.

However,

‘I don’t need to do that anymore.’

Now, if he removes the obstacle in front of him and just one Black Tower, the safe zone will disappear from Earth.

‘Then it’s over. Don’t be too sad. Others will follow soon.’

Just as Michael reached out his hand to Sejun,

[Arrived at the 0th floor of the Black Fortress.]

[Inside the safe zone, the energy emitted from the body does not harm the surroundings.]

[Starting the detection of destruction.]

[Detection of destruction is complete.]

[Multiple energies of destruction detected within a 500km radius.]

[A large amount of destruction energy detected in Texas, USA, 11,000km east.]

[A quest has occurred.]

[Quest: Hurry and eliminate all detected energies of destruction. If the current state continues, Earth will be destroyed in 38 days.]

Reward: Postponement of Earth’s destruction

Sejun was diligently reading the message.

Well… I have to eliminate the destruction. But I can only stay on Earth for 3 hours…

If I finish quickly, will I be able to eat a meal at home?

Lost in thought, Sejun discovered Michael’s palm approaching him only when it was 10cm away.

He felt tremendous power from the approaching fist.

I should have taken off the bracelet as soon as I arrived…

Just as Sejun was regretting it,

“Nya!”

Thud.

Theo blocked Michael’s surprise attack.

“Puhuhu. This body is Chairman Park’s loyal subordinate, Iron Wall Defense Theo Park, nya! As long as Vice Chairman Theo is here, no one can lay a hand on Chairman Park’s wrinkled face, nya!”

Theo wore an arrogant expression.

Hee hee hee! *Whine? Whine!*

[Hee hee! You were going to hit him?! The noble wolf, the great Blacky, will punish you!]

*Pounce!*

Blacky bravely jumped towards Michael.

And

Thump.

After a slight headbutt to Michael’s forehead,

*Whine…*

Blacky fainted and fell to the floor.

[The seal has been released.]

[You can use 100% of your abilities.]

“Heh heh heh. You wet paper bag.”

Is our little Blacky still weak?

Meanwhile, Sejun, who had removed the sealing grape vine bracelet, carefully caught the falling Blacky,

Thwack! Thwack!

“Why did you mess with our Chairman Park, nya?! I’ll punish you, nya!”

Theo began to punish Michael.

“Eek! Why can’t I use the power of Fenrir…”

Unable to use the power of destruction, Michael was beaten by Theo with a frustrated expression.

“Your expression is impure, nya!”

Of course, Theo, who was upset by that, punished him even harder.

And

Hee hee hee! *Whine? Whine…*

[Hee hee! Did you see that? The power of the great Blacky…]

Blacky had done the greatest thing by summoning the thoughts in the core fragment into his mental world and destroying them.

However,

“Yeah, our Blacky, become great even in your dreams.”

No one recognized it.

A little later,

“Chairman Park, I found something good, nya!”

Theo, who had picked up Fenrir’s core fragment that had escaped from Michael’s body, brought it to Sejun.

[Fenrir’s Core Fragment (10%)]

“Huh?! 10%?”

Wow. There was something like this on Earth; we almost had a big problem.

“Vice Chairman Theo, you’re excellent! Well done!”

As Sejun stroked Theo’s head and praised him,

“Puhuhu. I, Vice Chairman Theo, am originally excellent and do well, nya!”

Theo, who had become arrogant, was puffed up. He was annoying, but Sejun tolerated it today.

If the 10% Fenrir’s core fragment in the fallen man in front of him was used incorrectly, Earth would have been destroyed immediately.

“Eileen, purify this.”

Sejun called Eileen to purify the core fragment, but

······

There was no answer. It seemed that he couldn’t talk to Eileen in the administrator area because she was temporarily incorporated into the Black Fortress.

Sejun took Fenrir’s core fragment.

*Clang.*

“Guys, come out.”

He opened the subspace warehouse and called Kkuengi and the Black Rabbit.

Kkuhehehe. Kkueng?!

[Hehehe. Can Kkuengi see Kkuengi’s grandma now?!]

“Of course. Let’s go eat Grandma’s kimchi stew.”

Kkueng!

[I like it!]

Byak?

[Is this Earth?]

“Yeah. Amazing, right?”

Byak!

[Yes!]

“But it’s really clean now.”

Sejun made a regretful expression as he saw the floor of the subspace warehouse, which had been thickly covered with jewels to pay for the stay, was clean.

At that time,

“Sejun, you’ve arrived!”

Han Taejun and Kim Dongshik ran over with two blonde men. They were CIA agents Robin and Peter, dispatched from the United States.

Han Taejun had called them to coordinate the schedule for eliminating the flesh-eating predators in Texas, USA.

“Kim Dongshik, this human attacked our Chairman Park, nya!”

Theo grabbed Michael’s arm and dragged him to Dongshik.

“Huh?! This guy is Michael?!”

“Huh?! This person was Michael?!”

“Yes! You are amazing as expected. You’ve already caught Michael!”

“Puhuhu. Kim Dongshik, what did I say, nya?! Did I say that the moment Chairman Park steps in, it’s over, nya? Did I not say that? Chairman Park is great, nya!”

As Theo enthusiastically praised Sejun,

“Sejun, hello. I am CIA agent Robin.”

“Hello. I am CIA agent Peter.”

Peter and Robin approached Sejun and greeted him in English.

“Yes. Nice to meet you.”

Oh! It works!

Although he couldn’t speak English, Sejun could understand English thanks to his talent: Friend of Nature.

“So, the US military is going to fire a nuke at Texas to get rid of the flesh-eating predators?”

Thanks to that, Sejun heard the situation in the United States directly from them without translation.

“Yes. So please help us! There are still 200,000 people in Texas who haven’t escaped. Like last time, Bat…”

Just as Peter was about to mention what Batbat had done in the past,

(Batbat! This is my first time coming to Earth like this!)

I’m going to get caught!

Batbat hurriedly cut off Peter’s words and made a fuss, worried that he would be caught for plagiarizing his brothers’ skills.

And

(Batbat! Ah. Sorry. Did I interrupt your conversation? But from what I heard, I think Kkuengi hyung’s Kkuengmanbokwon can solve it!)

He subtly suggested a solution and changed the subject.

Kkueng! Kkueng!

[That’s right! Kkuengi will solve it with Kkuengmanbokwon!]

As Kkuengi stepped forward after hearing Batbat’s words,

(Batbat. Now no one will know.)

Batbat was relieved.

If Kkuengi eliminates the flesh-eating predators in Texas with Kkuengmanbokwon, even the traces he made in the past will disappear cleanly.

As Kkuengi stepped forward,

???

Peter and Robin were bewildered. What is that bear?

At that time,

“Kkuengi, not this way, that way.”

Sejun, who could feel the location of the detected destruction, corrected the direction of Kkuengi’s forepaw.

And

Kkueng!

Whoosh!

Kkuengi vigorously swung his forepaw.

Of course, nothing happened in front of them.

Instead, like a butterfly effect, disaster struck Texas, USA.

US Pentagon Operations Room.

“Secretary, we have 30 minutes left.”

Do we have to fire a nuke on our own land after all?

“How many people are left in Texas?”

“We haven’t rescued 200,000 people yet.”

“Hmm…”

The Secretary of Defense made a sound of contemplation at his subordinate’s report.

200,000 lives would disappear due to his decision, but he couldn’t wait any longer.

He still had to do it.

Just as the Secretary of Defense was about to make a decision,

*Buzz.*

He received a call from his friend, the CIA Director.

Normally, he wouldn’t answer calls during an operation, but the Secretary of Defense answered the call, hoping for the best.

“Hello.”

“Park Sejun just appeared in Korea!”

“What?!”

“Park Sejun came out of the Black Tower!”

“Is that true?!”

“Yes. Our agents have gone to persuade Park Sejun, so please give us the exact location of the survivors.”

“Got it!”

Just as the Secretary of Defense was about to call his subordinate,

“Secretary! Watch the video!”

A giant bear paw shape cutting through the clouds was visible in the satellite footage filming the skies over Texas, USA.

A little later.

The bear paw accurately struck only the flesh-eating predators, avoiding the areas where people were gathered.

Then, the bear paw fell once more, and two giant bear paw prints were imprinted on Texas, completely annihilating the flesh-eating predators.
