Farming In The Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 446

‘Uncle, thank you so much for calling me!’

Green Tower, 93rd floor. The air was cold and still.

A deep voice boomed from the shadows of a huge throne. “Are you ready to open the passage?”

Bletoon, the boss of this 93rd floor, was already kneeling. His hands trembled as he spoke. “I… I am sorry. The Immortality Faction, the group who controlled the floors below us, they have vanished. We don’t know where they went.”

The voice was like ice. “Ten days. You have ten days to fix this. If you fail,” a pause hung in the air, heavy with threat, “your life is over.”

“Yes! I understand!” Bletoon scrambled back, desperate to escape the chilling presence of the throne.

There is a devil who enslaves great merchants, says the God of Merchants, Herga. If you see a yellow cat, run away at all costs.

A message appeared before the being seated on the throne.

“Hmph! Run away at all costs if you see a yellow cat? How ridiculous.”

Herga, worry about your own life. Either way, you’ll be annihilated once the apocalypse sweeps everything away. Hee hee hee.

Shark, the merchant of destruction, who had been promised a world after the apocalypse and worked for its sake, smirked sinisterly.

“Puhu-hut. Chairman Park, look at this, nyang!”

Whirr!

Theo pulled out a huge pile of scroll documents from his bundle.

“Huh?! Land deeds?!”

“That’s right, nyang!”

A whopping ten land deeds.

There were seven Green Tower land deeds, one for the Golden Tower’s 40th floor, one for the Red Tower’s 53rd floor, and one for the Blue Tower’s 27th floor.

Of course, the seven Green Tower land deeds included the Green Tower’s 93rd floor deed that Theo wanted.

“Wow. Vice-Chairman Theo, where did you get these?”

No one would just give away this many land deeds… Did he take them from someone?

Sejun thought he knew what happened.

However,

“Puhu-hut. Turbo gave them to me, nyang!”

Contrary to Sejun’s guess, Theo confidently replied that Turbo had given them to him.

“Turbo?”

What kind of guy would give these to Theo?

“He’s a new slave I made, nyang!”

Of course, what do you mean ‘give’? He took them….

Just as Sejun thought his assumption was correct,

“Chairman Park, this is no time for this, nyang! We need to go to the Green Tower’s 93rd floor quickly, nyang!”

Theo urged Sejun.

“Green Tower’s 93rd floor? Why are we going there?”

“Chairman Park, listen, nyang! Egel…”

Theo explained Egel’s situation, who was being threatened by the forces on the 93rd floor.

“So, we’re going to the Green Tower’s 93rd floor to make slaves, nyang! There are many slaves there, nyang!”

It clearly started as a story about helping Egel, but somehow it ended with the slave hunter Theo talking about slaves, and

“Okay. I understand. We received help, so we should help them too.”

Sejun thought, *Well, helping Egel is important, and if we find some new helpers along the way, that’s just a bonus.* He was becoming known as the Slave King, after all.

“Everyone, gather around! Kkuenge summoned.”

Sejun called his companions to use the land deeds and summoned Kkuenge with the Dragon Scale Summoning Bracelet, and

[Summoning the designated target.]

Kkuenge?

“Huh?!”

Kkuenge, who appeared before Sejun with the message, was flustered. He was holding the Thunderbolt Staff high above his head and swinging it forward.

Kkuenge was summoned while sparring with the Bull Demon King.

Kkueeee!

Kkuenge used all his psychic power to turn his body around,

Kwa-gwang!

Fortunately, no one was hurt.

Instead, the house and their green onion fields were destroyed, but

“…I lived…”

I should be more careful when summoning next time.

That much was no problem for Sejun, who had survived.

“Okay. Get in.”

Sejun had his companions enter the subspace warehouse.

And then,

“Ophelia, come out. Over.”

He called Ophelia,

“Ophelia, we’re going to the Green Tower’s 93rd floor…”

He told Ophelia in advance so he could get help in case of an emergency.

[The slave of the Green Tower says he wants 1000 sausage skewers instead.]

“Okay.”

[The slave of the Green Tower says that you and your companions will not be hurt in the Green Tower, so don’t worry.]

While Sejun was taking out the great Green Dragon insurance with 1000 sausage skewers,

Kiki!

The Doom-Devouring Beasts, following Kamangi, were hanging onto the warehouse, asking to be taken into the subspace warehouse.

Kee hee hee. Kking! Kking!

[Hee hee. Okay! I’ll take you!]

Kamangi began to take the Doom-Devouring Beasts into the subspace warehouse without Sejun knowing.

“Ophelia, and later, empty the 99th floor of the tower for a moment. I’m going to go and set a waypoint.”

[The slave of the Green Tower says he understands.]

Sejun was talking to Ophelia, unaware of what was happening.

Recently, Kaiser had once again modified the Kaiser’s Return Bracelet, allowing him to choose exactly where he wanted to return to.

So, while going to the Green Tower, he was planning to set a waypoint on the 99th floor and obtain the >Title: One Who Reached the Top of the Three Towers>.

If he obtained the >Title: One Who Reached the Top of the Three Towers>, the waypoints between the 99th floors of the towers would be connected, allowing Sejun to travel back and forth to the Green Tower.

There wouldn’t be many opportunities to go, but he had to make a path just in case.

After finishing his conversation with Ophelia,

“Heh heh heh. Now I get to wear it.”

Clack.

Sejun put on the [Red Dragon’s Full Body Scale Armor] that he had been using as a scarecrow.

He now met all the usage restrictions and could wear it sufficiently.

Sejun finished putting on the armor and said,

“Aileen, I’ll be back.”

[The tower administrator says to be careful.]

“Okay. Don’t worry. Then I’ll go.”

Swish.

After saying goodbye to Aileen, he unfolded the Green Tower’s 93rd floor land deed.

And then,

[The summoning function is activated to imprint the first owner of the Green Tower’s 93rd floor land deed.]

With the message, Sejun disappeared.

[Arrived at the Green Tower’s 93rd floor.]

Thud.

“Everyone, come out.”

As soon as he arrived, Sejun cautiously looked around and called his companions in a quiet voice. Fortunately, the surroundings were a barren wasteland.

Clang.

“Puhu-hut. Chairman Park, I missed you…”

Clack.

The subspace warehouse opened, and Theo rushed towards Sejun’s face, opened the helmet’s visor, and

“Nyang!”

He clung to Sejun’s bare face.

“Hey. Why do you always rub your body against my bare face?”

“That’s because Chairman Park’s face is rotten, nyang!”

“It’s not rotten!”

“It is rotten, nyang!”

While Sejun was bickering with Theo,

Kkuenge!

Kkuenge flew around, scouting the area, and

Kee hee hee. Kking! Kking!

[Everyone, come out!]

“Yes!”

Kiki!

Kamangi brought Umdori and the Doom-Devouring Beasts out of the subspace warehouse.

“Huh? These guys…? Kamangi, did you bring them?”

Kee hee hee. Kking! Kking!

Sejun watched the Devourers of Destruction emerge endlessly. He turned to Kamang and asked, “What’s going on?”

Huff. Huff.

The Devourers of Destruction opened their mouths, swallowing the destructive energy in the air.

“Huh?!” Sejun exclaimed. “Destructive energy is here?”

Sejun knew the 99th floor of the Black Tower had destructive energy. That was because he put a piece of Fenrir’s core there. But this place was different. What could be causing it? Was there someone serving destruction here?

As Sejun looked around, a voice called out, “Hey! Get in here, quick! They’ll see you!” A green meerkat peeked out from a hole in the ground.

Just then…

Kwa-thoom!

Bzzzzzt!

[Herbalist Kkuengi has defeated the fifth disaster, Great Poisonous Snail King.]

Kkuengi was already using his Thunder Clap to defeat any creatures that threatened Sejun.

“Huh?! Why is the fifth disaster here?” Sejun asked. “Ophelia, don’t you even know a disaster has entered the tower?”

But there was no answer.

Ari, the green meerkat, climbed out of the burrow and looked up at Sejun. “Trying to talk to someone? It won’t work. They’ve blocked communication somehow. Oh, my name is Ari.”

“Them?” Sejun asked.

“Yes,” Ari said. “About a year ago, these strange people appeared. They made Bleton the Carnage, the boss here, their servant. And now they are enslaving everyone.”

“Nyang! Enslaving, you say, nyang?!” Theo’s whiskers twitched with excitement.

“Y-yes,” Ari stammered.

“So, they’re controlling the snails too?” Sejun asked.

“Yes. The snails are capturing the tower’s residents. That’s why we’re hiding,” Ari explained.

“I see,” Sejun said, understanding the situation on the 93rd floor.

[Quest has been generated.]

[Quest: The mangosteen farm on the 93rd floor of the Green Tower has been destroyed by destructive energy. Remove the destructive energy from the 93rd floor.]

[Reward: One mangosteen tree, proof of land ownership]

A quest for land ownership appeared.

“So, this used to be a mangosteen farm,” Sejun realized.

“Ari, where is the enemy’s base?” Sejun asked.

Kee! Kee! Kee!

Kkiheehee. Kking!

“Hee hee! Everyone, charge!”

“The great Kamang is going out! Clear the way!”

The Devourers of Destruction, carrying Kamang and Eomdori, charged north.

“Excuse me…” Ari pointed in the direction they were running.

“Hey! Wait up! Everyone, let’s go!” Sejun called.

“Understood, nyang!” Theo replied.

Kkuengi!

“Understood, yo!”

Sejun, Theo, and Kkuengi, worried about Kamang, hurried after them.

But…

Kking!

“Attack!”

Kiki!

There was no need to worry. The Devourers of Destruction were already surrounding the Great Poisonous Snail Kings.

Thud. Thud.

The Great Poisonous Snails, weakened by the destructive energy, fell one by one. To the Devourers of Destruction, they were just tasty snacks.

And then…

Burp!

The Devourers of Destruction burped, releasing a blue mist.

[You have spread the energy of creation in the Green Tower!]

[As a reward, the cost of staying on the 0th floor of the Black Tower will be reduced by 1%.]

A message appeared.

“Oh, a 1% reduction!” Sejun exclaimed. If the stay cost decreased by 1% each time the Devourers burped in the other towers, he could reduce it by 7% more.

“Hehehe. I can reduce it by an additional 7%.”

Then the stay cost would be reduced to 19%. If he was lucky, could he get it to 0%?

And…

“Vice President Theo, I trust you!” Sejun said.

“Nyang?! Chairman Park, you trust me, nyang?!” Theo purred. “Understood, nyang! You only need to trust Vice President Theo, nyang!”

Puhuut. The great Chairman Park trusts me, nyang! I’m so happy, nyang!

Theo’s heart swelled with pride.

“Chairman Park, it’s that way, nyang!” Theo suddenly pointed west with his paw. “I feel a pull from that way, nyang!”

“Really? Then we’ll have to split up,” Sejun decided. Theo’s instincts were always right.

Sejun thought about taking Theo and Kkuengi with him for safety. Leaving Batbat alone made him a little worried.

“Black Rabbit Summon,” Sejun commanded, using the Dragon Horn Summoning Bracelet to call the Black Rabbit to protect Kamang, Eomdori, and the Devourers of Destruction.

Will it work? Communication with Ophelia was blocked, so summoning might not be possible.

[Summoning the designated target.]

It works!

Ppyak!

“Uncle, thank you so much for calling me!”

The Black Rabbit summoning was successful. But why was he so grateful, like he had come back from the dead?

“Black Rabbit and Batbat, please protect the kids,” Sejun instructed.

Ppyak! Ppyak!

“Uncle, don’t worry! Trust me!”

(Batbat. Don’t worry!)

Leaving Kamang and his team to the energetic Black Rabbit and Batbat, Sejun turned to Theo.

“Vice President Theo, is it that way?”

“Puhuut. That’s right, nyang! It’s that way, nyang!”

Kkuengi!

“Kkuengi will give you a ride, yo!”

Sejun and Theo climbed onto Kkuengi’s back, and they flew quickly in the direction Theo pointed.

Soon, they heard a cry.

“Please save me!”

Stamp. Stamp. Stamp.

Shark, a servant of destruction wearing a black hood, was stamping the foreheads of the tower’s residents.

“Nyang! That’s it, nyang!” Theo exclaimed.

Theo used his Nyangbo skill to snatch the red stamp from Shark.

“Huh?!” Shark gasped.

“Chairman Park, catch, nyang!” Theo shouted, using Nyangnyangbo to return to Sejun and hand over the stamp.

Black Tower, 32nd floor.

“Sigh. When will I get there?” The Farming King, who was undergoing the trial of Rhea, the Goddess of Abundance, sighed and continued climbing towards the 99th floor.
