Farming In The Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 439

Seed Shop Headquarters.

“It’s been a week,” Leah said sadly. No one had visited her temple for a whole week.

“What’s wrong?” Leah wondered. “Why is Park Sejun angry with me?”

Leah thought about why Sejun was angry.

“Wait!” Leah suddenly thought. “Could it be… is Sejun angry because I haven’t finished the special gifts for him?”

Lately, every time the gods’ seals were broken, she had been partying, eating, drinking, and playing…

“I’ve been playing almost every day.”

He has a reason to be angry.

“But how do I appease Park Sejun’s anger?”

As Leah pondered, a message appeared.

[Black Tower Top Farmer Park Sejun has received a job quest.]

[Give Black Tower Top Farmer Park Sejun a test to check his farming skills, and if you like Park Sejun’s farming skills, say ‘Acknowledged.’]

Test Park Sejun?!

This was an opportunity. A chance to show how much she trusted Park Sejun.

We don’t need a test between us! I trust you entirely, Park Sejun!

“Acknowledged!!!”

So, she quickly said ‘Acknowledged!’ without asking him to prove himself.

[You have acknowledged Black Tower Top Farmer Park Sejun’s farming skills first.]

“First?!” Leah was surprised and pleased.

“Hehe. Will Park Sejun’s anger be relieved now?”

Please, relieve it quickly!

Leah clasped her hands together and prayed for divine power to gather.

And then, messages popped up quickly.

[Black Tower Top Farmer Park Sejun has expanded your temple to 15 Pyeong.]

[Divinity increases by 50.]

[Divinity increases by 10 because the Third Apostle of Creation, Blackie Park, has passed by your temple.]

[Divinity increases by 5 because 1000 Calamity Watcher Doom Devourers have passed by your temple.]

“Park Sejun! Park Sejun!”

Park Sejun, a generous man! I knew it!

Leah chanted Sejun’s name, who had quickly relieved his anger.

“Wait, Blackie Park?!” Leah exclaimed. “A third Apostle? But… who is the second? I only know Emila Iveness as an Apostle of Creation.”

“Ah. That’s not important right now!”

Park Sejun mustn’t get angry again.

Leah hurriedly made divine artifacts.

Meanwhile, far away on the 99th floor of the Black Tower…

“First place deserves preferential treatment.”

Sejun decided to expand Leah Road as a reward for Leah, who had acknowledged him first.

So, he went to where Leah Road was and

“Move Land.”

He used the skill with Miler’s hoe to expand Leah Road by another 10 Pyeong.

And

[Leah Road]

-Leah, the Goddess of Abundance, who will enrich our pockets with the Potion of Harvest. She was a good god.

-Acknowledged 1st place in the level 100 job quest.

He added another line to the achievement.

As Sejun was expanding Leah Road,

Hee hee hee! Squeak!

[Hee hee! Follow me, everyone!]

Kiki!

Blackie was playing around Sejun with the Doom Devourers.

Blackie, who had been temporarily subdued by the moral education, became arrogant again as he became the Apostle of Creation.

Especially after obtaining the >Title: The Noble Wolf Protecting Black Tower Top Farmer Park Sejun<, “I will protect my master!” It was even more so after he developed a sense of duty to protect Sejun. So, Blackie led his subordinates, circling around Sejun, Blackie and the Doom Devourers naturally stepped on Leah Road, increasing Leah’s divinity. And [I must never get caught.] Podori, who was blocking Leah Road, hurriedly pulled out its roots so as not to be caught by Sejun. He had vented his anger to some extent, and he thought he would be scolded if the fact that he was blocking Leah Road got into Fire Stone’s ears. He would be eating a lot of nutritional supplements along with tremendous nagging. “Done.” Sejun finished expanding Leah Road. “But how do I get the acknowledgment of Hamer, the God of Farming?” He suddenly became curious. Patrick, the God of Earth, was sealed on the 35th floor of the Golden Tower, so he could be acknowledged in return for releasing the seal. However, there was no information about Hamer, the God of Farming. “Well, it will come out someday, right?” Sejun put aside what he couldn’t solve right away and “Kids, let’s eat!” He went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. “What should we eat today?” Sejun looked around the subspace warehouse and pondered today’s dinner menu. “I’ve been eating delivery food all the time lately….” I should eat lightly today. Sejun passed the place where the delivery food was gathered and went inside, where fresh beef, pork, and chicken were visible. Then… “Should we have light pork belly today?” Pork belly would be lighter than five-layered pork belly. It would be. After Sejun picked up the pork belly, he took lettuce and sesame leaves that were not in the farm and came out of the subspace warehouse. Sssssss. As Sejun grilled the pork belly, “President Park, are you grilling my grilled fish too, meow?!” Theo, who was hanging on Sejun’s leg, woke up and asked. “Yeah. Of course. Can’t you see it grilling here?” Sejun showed the fish, skewered and grilled golden brown next to the brazier where he was grilling the pork belly. “Hehe.” While Theo was looking at the grilled fish with a satisfied expression, Kooeng! [It smells delicious!] Hee hee hee! Squeak! Squeak. [Hee hee! Master! Give me food! Please.] Kooeng and Blackie came in. Blackie, perhaps with the effects of the moral education still lingering, quickly added ‘Please’ at the end, watching his older brothers. A moment later. “Okay. Let’s eat.” As Sejun put the grilled pork belly on a plate and placed it in the center of the table, Kooeng! [Kooeng will wrap a lettuce wrap for Daddy to eat!] Having tasted the grilled pork belly once, Kkueng-i began to ambitiously prepare a lettuce wrap – a tasty way to eat meat with fresh leaves and rice. Two perilla leaves laid on top of a lettuce leaf, followed by five glistening slices of grilled pork belly, smelling smoky and delicious, three cloves of garlic, five slices of green chili, and three spoonfuls of white rice. “Uh?! Kkueng-i, that looks a bit too big, don’t you think?” Sejun said with a worried tone. “Kkueng! It’s alright! It has to be like this to taste good!” A handful of green onion salad, half a spoonful of red pepper paste, and then another five slices of pork belly on top, covered with lettuce and perilla leaves—Kkueng-i, ignoring Sejun's worried words, continued to build his wrap even bigger. “Kkueng! All done!” He proudly presented the enormous lettuce wrap to Sejun. “Oh my. It looks delicious! Thank you, Kkueng-i,” Sejun said. This isn’t a lettuce wrap; it’s more like a rice ball, isn’t it? He couldn’t bring himself to say what was on his mind and accepted the wrap. “Kkueng! Dad, you have to put it all in your mouth at once!” Unable to ignore Kkueng-i’s hopeful gaze, wishing for him to enjoy it, Sejun bravely shoved the giant lettuce wrap into his mouth. Munch. Munch. It was hard to fit in, but it tasted good. Thumbs up. Sejun gave Kkueng-i a thumbs up. “Kkuhehehe. Kkueng! Hehehe. Now it’s Kkueng-i’s turn!” Satisfied, Kkueng-i made his own lettuce wrap with three times the ingredients he used for Sejun’s. Of course, the size was also three times bigger. “Kkueng!” Kkueng-i shouted and put the lettuce wrap in his mouth. He even shouted while eating; he truly had the makings of a food fighter champion. “Kkihihit. Kking! Kking! Hehe. The great Blackie can’t lose! I’ll eat it in one bite too! I used to eat well too!” Feeling competitive at Kkueng-i’s display, Blackie put an entire slice of pork belly in his mouth and raised his head, planning to swallow it in one gulp. Huh?! The pork belly, too big for Blackie’s throat, didn’t go down completely and got stuck. Ggack! Ggack! “Hey! Why are you swallowing it whole!” Sejun, who was watching Blackie, quickly assessed the situation and performed the Heimlich maneuver, pressing hard and upwards. “Kkiaaak!!!” Blackie made a strange noise and spat the pork belly out of his throat. “Blackie is banned from eating meat for a week.” “Kking! No!” As Blackie despaired at not being able to eat meat, “I’ll give you dried sweet potato instead.” Sejun took out dried sweet potato. “Kkihihit. Kking! Kking! Hehe. Yay! Give it to me quickly!” Blackie instantly snapped out of his despair and wagged his tail excitedly. Inside the Black Tower, in the Master Tower Master’s room. “Kkyut kkyut kkyut. I like it so much.” Iona smiled contentedly, looking at the Gravity Staff of Crushing Suppression in her hand. The atmosphere in the Black Tower was the best it had been in a while. Thanks to that, the ten vice-chairmen who took exams every day were truly happy. In the past, they would have been dragged away immediately and subjected to gravity torture until they fainted… “Kkyut kkyut kkyut. This is what I explained yesterday. Look at this and try to solve it again.” “Yes!” Now, Iona gave hints and chances until they solved the problems. While the ten vice-chairmen were taking the exam, Iona pondered over what gift to give Sejun. What could Sejun-nim need? Of course, Theo also contributed to making the staff, but Iona was only worried about Sejun’s gift. There was a reason for this. Even if she gave a gift to Theo, he would give it to Sejun anyway. Besides, “Kkyut kkyut kkyut. To win Theo-nim’s heart, I must first win Sejun-nim’s heart!” If Sejun, someone Theo really looks up to, liked it, Theo would naturally like it too, so it was like killing two birds with one stone. While Iona was pondering over what gift to give Sejun, she heard a sound of someone scribbling diligently next to her. Kkyut? When Iona turned her head, she saw Blackster, who had already passed the exam, drawing a blueprint. “Blackster, what is that?” “Ah. This? These are the magic items that Sejun-nim requested from me last time.” A few days ago, Sejun, who had come to give Iona the staff, told Blackster the options for the magic items he wanted while waiting for Iona. “Kkyut kkyut kkyut. Is that so?” Magic items that Sejun wanted. “Kkyut kkyut kkyut. There’s no better gift than this!” At Blackster’s words, Iona looked closely at the blueprint. Iona looked at the blueprint diligently. Excellent. As expected of Blackster, who had a high understanding of magic, it was a device design with good magic power efficiency. “Kkyut? What does this ‘Super Strong Gauntlet’ mean?” There were words she didn’t know one by one in the blueprint. “It’s a shortened name for a gauntlet that makes you super strong.” “Then what is ‘Super Strong Boots’?” “It’s a shortened name for boots that make you super strong.” “Then ‘Super Strong Belt’ must be a belt that makes you super strong. Sejun-nim came up with these names, right?” A name that seemed quite carelessly made. Iona thought of Sejun the moment she heard the name. “Yes. That’s right. Honestly… I don’t feel motivated to make the equipment because of these names.” “Kkyut kkyut kkyut. I understand. Honestly, Sejun-nim’s naming sense is…” Iona understood Blackster’s feelings because she had witnessed Sejun’s terrible naming skills several times. “Right?! Iona-nim also thinks it’s weird, right?! I’m not the only one who thinks so?!” “Kkyut kkyut kkyut. Of course. Honestly, Blackster too…” “Kheuheuk. I’m so glad you understand!” As Iona and Blackster were gossiping about Sejun’s naming skills, someone interrupted. “But didn’t the yellow cat that came a few days ago seem a little lacking?” Grun, the 7th Vice-Chairman, who had been twitching his mouth wanting to speak, opened his mouth. Blackster, noticing the change in Iona's mood, quickly shook his head at Grun and glared at him, trying to warn him to stop talking. But the magicians, who only studied magic, didn’t learn how to read the room. “Not just a little. He seemed very lacking.” “That’s right. Even his laugh is ‘Puhuhoot,’ it’s too frivolous.” Without realizing that the atmosphere was turning cold, the other vice-chairmen began to badmouth Theo as well. Blackster continued to give them a look with intense eyes, but the magicians didn’t notice. Huh?! Why is the atmosphere like this? It was already too late when the 10 vice-chairmen realized that the atmosphere was strange. “Kkyu-kkyu-kkyu- Everyone except Blackster, follow me!” In the end, they were dragged away by Iona. “Kkyu-kkyu-kkyu- How dare you insult Theo-nim?! Suppression!” “Aargh! I was wrong!” “Iona-nim, please save me!” They became the first testers of the Gravity Staff of Crushing Suppression.
