Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 440

Sejun woke up. He had fallen asleep after eating pork belly and drinking a little too much the night before.

Then he checked his messages.

“Hmm.”

[The seal of the Jewel of the Earth has been lifted.]

“Today it’s Maple Syrup.”

Sejun, checking the reward from Maple, the god of maple trees, contained in a giant jar in the kitchen, spoke with a slightly disappointed voice. “I’ll give Maple-nim a special spot.”

But it was okay.

[The seals of five gods have been lifted.]

[Quest conditions have been met.]

[You have acquired 5 drops of the Elixir of Growth as a reward for meeting the quest conditions.]

Because today was the day to release the seals of five gods and receive the Elixir of Growth.

Yesterday’s remaining 20 drops plus the 5 drops received today…

“Hehehe. Is it 25 drops?”

Sejun smiled as he collected the Elixir of Growth as a reward.

“But why is there no news of the Elixir of Growth that I get every time I lift the curse of the 1000 dragons?” Sejun wondered.

[The Tower Manager tells you not to worry.]

[The Tower Manager says it’s because she’s selling a cup of Golden Samyang Brew for 500 billion Tower Coins.]

Aileen cleared up Sejun’s curiosity. The great dragons were working hard to earn the price of a cup of Golden Samyang Brew.

That’s why not a single cup of Golden Samyang Brew had been sold.

“500 billion Tower Coins?!” Sejun exclaimed. “That’s too expensive! No wonder the quest isn’t being completed.”

[The Tower Manager says it will take time, but she is confident that they will be able to earn a huge amount of money instead.]

Aileen showed strong confidence. The dragons needed to drink Golden Samyang Brew to fix their memory problem.

So Aileen set a very high price for one cup. Because from the second cup onwards, it just becomes alcohol.

“Still, it’s too expensive. Aileen, let’s lower it to 10 billion Tower Coins.”

Honestly, Sejun thought 10 billion Tower Coins was also expensive.

Aileen usually followed Sejun’s opinion. However,

[The Tower Manager says that’s too cheap.]

Today, she didn’t. 100 Trillion is needed!

Because she needed money. Aileen wanted to earn her stay with Sejun and on Earth by selling the Golden Samyang Brew at a high price.

Of course, even selling a cup of alcohol for 500 billion Tower Coins was far from enough to reach 100 Trillion.

“Aileen, let’s not do that and lower the price.”

Sejun didn’t want to charge too much just because the dragons really needed it. That didn’t feel right.

“We shouldn’t be too greedy.”

If she took such excessive profits, there was a possibility that Aileen’s reputation among the dragons would worsen later on, not just for herself.

He couldn’t let Aileen be criticized by other dragons.

[The Tower Manager says that since you say so, she will lower it to 250 billion Tower Coins.]

“Let’s lower it a bit more.”

Sejun continued to persuade Aileen, and

[The Tower Manager says she absolutely cannot lower it below 50 billion Tower Coins.]

“Okay. Thank you for listening to me.”

The price of the Golden Samyang Brew was lowered to a price that the dragons could afford.

Thanks to that, the Golden Samyang Brew also began to sell.

“What?! 50 billion Tower Coins?! Why is Aileen suddenly like this?!”

“Aileen has become completely kind.”

Aileen’s reputation among the dragons also improved.

While Sejun was persuading Aileen,

Kooeng!

[Daddy, good morning!]

Kooeng came to Sejun to say good morning.

Kooeng!

[And Kooeng is hungry!]

“Has it already gotten this late? Aileen, is there anything you want to eat?”

Sejun asked to cheer Aileen up because she was very upset about lowering the price.

[The Tower Manager says she wants to eat the 10-layer pancake you made.]

“Okay! I’ll make it super delicious for you!” Sejun shouted enthusiastically.

In the past, all he did was sprinkle honey on the pancakes, but

“Hehehe. Now I’m a man who has all the ingredients!”

Sejun’s subspace warehouse, which he had raided from the mart on Earth, had many ingredients to use, such as whipped cream and ice cream.

The kitchen filled with the warm, sweet smell of cooking pancakes. Sejun carefully flipped each one, making sure they were golden brown and fluffy. Once they were cool enough, he started stacking them, one by one, into towering piles of ten. Between each layer, he spread a generous swirl of soft, white whipped cream, like clouds between golden floors. Finally, on the very top of each pancake tower, he placed a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream, letting it slowly melt and drizzle down the sides. Bright blueberries and juicy red strawberries were scattered around the ice cream like jewels, completing the beautiful and delicious creations. Five perfect 10-layer pancakes were ready.

“Aileen, enjoy your meal.”

Sejun sent the pancake to Aileen first.

[The Tower Manager says the pancake is so pretty that it’s almost too good to eat.]

“Hehehe. Just eat it. I’ll make it again next time.”

[The Tower Manager nods and says she understands in a happy voice.]

Sejun delivered the pancake to Aileen.

“Ajax, enjoy your meal too.”

This time, he sent the pancake to Ajax.

[Ajax’s message comes with happy emoticons and says, ‘Wow! Pancake from Sejun-hyung! Thank you!’]

“Let’s eat now too.”

Kooeng!

[I will enjoy the meal!]

Sejun sent the pancake to Ajax as well and started eating.

“Puhuhut. As expected, the grilled fish with Chairman Park’s sincerity is delicious, meow!”

Of course, Theo ate the grilled fish that Sejun had grilled today as well.

Kkuhehehe. Kooeng!

[Hehehe. It melts in my mouth when I eat it with milk!]

Kkihihit. Kking!

[Hehe. Delicious!]

Kooeng and Kkamangi ate the pancake with milk, and

Slurp.

“Kuh. Good.”

Sejun ate the pancake with the coffee he had brewed himself.

A moment later.

Kooeng!

[I will wash it clean until it makes a squeaky sound!]

While Kooeng was doing the dishes,

“Meow?! Chairman Park, the cart has returned, meow!”

Theo, with his ears perked up, shouted while looking in one direction, and

Rattle rattle.

A black hole appeared in the direction Theo was looking, and the automatic cart that travels between the Black Tower and the Golden Tower after selling out the goods in the Golden Tower returned.

“The return time is getting later and later.”

At first, it took 2 days, then 3 days, and this time it took 4 days.

There aren’t many items that haven’t been sold yet, so it’s not because there’s no demand…

There seemed to be another reason. As Sejun was lost in thought,

Thud.

[The cart opened, and the trade began.]

The sales weren’t high this time either. However,

5 Lightning Stones.

200 Lightning-Struck Trees.

3000 Lightning Stones.

What was important were the purchased items. The amount of items purchased had greatly increased as the storage compartment was upgraded.

And then,

[Order Form from Helix Village]

One order form.

Is it cherry tomatoes again?

Sejun checked the order form.

[Order Form from Helix Village]

Ordering Party: Chief Koi of Helix Village

Ordered Items: 10 million Magic Cherry Tomatoes

P.S. – We will pay with the land deed for the 35th floor of the Golden Tower. Our village, along with 1000 surrounding villages, is starving. Please send us the cherry tomatoes.

“Huh?!”

As Sejun expected, it was an order for Magic Cherry Tomatoes, but the order quantity and payment method greatly exceeded Sejun’s expectations.

In a good way.

“I found it.”

He could finally get the title to the 35th floor of the Golden Tower.

“But I’ll have to go five times…”

With the current size of the cart’s storage compartment, it could barely fit 2 million cherry tomatoes.

Of course, that was before the upgrade.

[There are currently 5 Lightning Stones, which are materials for upgrading the cart, inside the automatic cart that travels between the Black Tower and the Golden Tower.]

[You can expand the storage compartment of the automatic cart that travels between the Black Tower and the Golden Tower by 2.25 times by using 5 (2+3) Lightning Stones.]

[Would you like to upgrade the automatic cart that travels between the Black Tower and the Golden Tower twice using the Lightning Stones?]

The number of Lightning Stones required increases by one with each upgrade.

“Yes.”

The larger the storage compartment, the more items from the Golden Tower he could buy, so of course, he had to do it.

With Sejun’s answer, the cart’s storage compartment expanded 2.25 times.

“Vice Chairman Theo, fill it with only cherry tomatoes this time.”

“Understood, meow!”

Sejun instructed Theo and went to harvest cherry tomatoes.

Magic Cherry Tomatoes were steadily sold on Earth and in the Green Tower, so the storage amount was not large.

There might not be enough to fill the cart with 4.5 million cherry tomatoes.

As Sejun harvested cherry tomatoes and Theo loaded the cherry tomatoes onto the cart,

Kkihihit! Kking!

[Hehe. Kids, move it!]

Kiki!

Kiki!

Kkamangi lined up the little helpers in two rows to deliver the cherry tomatoes harvested by Sejun to Theo, doing something helpful for the farm for the first time.

And then,

Kooeng!

[I’m going to gather herbs and receive special training from Master Umawang!]

Kooeng, having finished the dishes, headed to the herb field.

On the 1st floor of the 10th Tower,

“Park Sejun, you rascal! Why aren’t you coming?!”

Stella, waiting for Sejun again today, was annoyed. She wanted to send all sorts of insults in voice message orbs, but now she didn’t even have the materials to make voice message orbs.

There were strangely no stones here. Only soft soil.

“Park Sejun! You bad %$&@!”

So, while cursing Sejun alone to vent her anger,

Rustle.

A small brown root, 5cm in size, peeked out of the soil and looked around. *Who just insulted Master?*

It was Fire, absorbing the thick red mist that was spread around the 10th Tower and finally arriving at the 10th Tower.

[Hey! You! Did I just hear you say something bad about Master?!]

Fire retorted, looking at Stella who had insulted Sejun.

“What?! You?!”

How dare this thing call the great Silver Dragon Stella Hisron ‘you’?!

Gooooo.

As the enraged Stella gathered her energy, a huge wind blew, shaking Fire’s roots as if reacting to Stella’s anger.

However,

[Quickly, take back what you said about insulting our Master!]

Boom.

Fire, having deeply rooted itself in the Tower’s earth, did not shake at all.

“No! Why should I, the great Silver Dragon, do that?! He made me wait like this, so of course, he deserves some insults!”

As Stella gathered more energy, a dragon tornado was created.

[If you don’t take it back, I won’t let you get away with it!]

Boom.

Fire also did not back down and raised the huge roots that were buried in the ground.

*There’s no one here!*

There was no possibility of being caught by Sejun at all, and there was no one who would be harmed even if she used her power.

“What can you do if you don’t let me get away with it?! Wind, tear it apart!”

As Stella moved the wind with dragon language, the wind began to gnaw at Fire’s roots like a grinder.

However,

[Hmph! You can’t do anything to me with that! So quickly take back what you said about insulting our Master!]

Rustle.

Fire’s roots were regenerating almost at the same time as they were being ground.

The 10th Tower was filled with the energy of destruction, and Fire was regenerating its roots using the overflowing nutrients, and

“Don’t mess with me! Wind, swallow and crush it!”

Stella gathered her energy and attacked Fire again.

Then, this time, the wind transformed into the shape of a giant dragon and swallowed Fire’s roots, turning them into powder.

But,

[Quickly take back what you said about insulting our Master!]

Boom.

With Fire’s cry, hundreds of giant roots sprouted from the ground and surrounded Stella.

“Eek! No!”

*What is this guy?!*

Kroooooh.

Stella, surrounded, panicked and fired a silver breath at the roots, but

[Take it back!]

Rustle.

Fire blocked the breath with its roots and began to pressure Stella.

And

-Oh. It’s a fight!

The manager of the 10th Tower watched their fight with great interest.
