Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 451

Seed Shop Headquarters.

As the non-combat gods passed each other, their eyes met.

“Trust-vest!”

“Trust-vest!”

They shouted the unified slogan, nodded their heads vigorously, and passed by.

The word ‘Trust-vest’ was a popular term among non-combat gods, short for ‘Trust and invest in Park Se-jun.’

And then,

“Trust-vest!”

Park Se-jun, I trust you! All in!

Here was a god preparing to invest in Se-jun.

Luna, the goddess of moonlight, had eagerly awaited the Blue Moon for ten long days. She wanted to invest in Se-jun, believing he was destined for great things.

“The Blue Moon has risen. Good!”

As the Blue Moon rose, she quickly looked around the 99th floor of the Black Tower through the Blue Moon, searching for Se-jun.

However,

“Huh?! Where did he go?”

Se-jun was nowhere to be seen, even when half of the Blue Moon had passed.

“If I miss today, I have to wait another 30 days…”

Park Se-jun, where are you?

Just as Luna was anxiously searching for Se-jun,

“Found him!”

Se-jun, who had returned to the 99th floor of the tower, was detected by the moonlight of the Blue Moon.

“Blessing of the Blue Moon!”

Trust-vest!

Luna immediately bestowed the blessing of the Blue Moon upon Se-jun.

“Ahem. Is it time to reserve my monument?”

Luna said smugly, after giving Se-jun the blessing.

The explanation Se-jun saw didn’t show the details about the Blessing of the Blue Moon, but it said:

Blessing lasts for 30 days.

Infinite defense against attacks up to 10 times the target’s ability until the moonlight of the Blue Moon is exhausted.

The Blessing of the Blue Moon was a blessing with tremendous power.

Ahem!

Luna had every right to be proud.

“Huh?! Why is there a dragon here?!”

Until Aileen appeared.

Black Tower 99th floor.

[The Tower Administrator says that might not be a good idea.]

“Hmm. Aileen, are you worried I’ll get hurt?”

[The Tower Administrator says yes.]

“Heh heh heh. Aileen, don’t worry.”

Se-jun tried to reassure Aileen by talking about the abilities he had gained.

However,

[The Tower Administrator says she wants to see your face directly, but she is worried you will get hurt.]

Aileen couldn’t be reassured that easily.

“Aileen, it’s really okay. I can even touch an awakened Ajax now.”

Se-jun said with a confident voice.

“Aileen, I didn’t tell you because I was worried you’d worry, but I even withstood the aura of the Apostle of Destruction. Don’t worry.”

To be precise, it was only up to the second stage of sealing.

He omitted the awkward part.

[The Tower Administrator asks if you’re really okay.]

Aileen wavered at Se-jun’s confident attitude.

It didn’t seem possible, but…

That’s right. If he withstood the aura of the Apostle of Destruction, then my aura…

She thought positively of Se-jun’s words, wanting to see him.

And then,

[The Tower Administrator says she will quickly finish what she is doing and come.]

“Good. No dirt on my mouth, and no tail or wings!”

Aileen answered and quickly checked her appearance in the mirror.

“Okay. Take your time. Heh heh heh.”

Se-jun grinned at Aileen’s words that she was coming.

“Puhu-hut. It’s time for this body to step up, meow! Chairman Park, trust me, meow! I, Vice President Theo, can now absorb Ophelia’s aura without difficulty, meow!”

Theo wiggled his front toes and stretched his body.

At that moment,

Kkihihit. Kking! Kking!

[Hihihit. Guys, this is really delicious! Try it!]

“Yes!”

Kkilook!

Se-jun saw Blackie offering dried sweet potato to Um-dol and Kkomi.

“The sunfish will be in danger, right?”

The three, who had fallen from the world’s strongest existence, the Apostle of Destruction, to sunfish.

Clang.

“Wait, go inside and eat it.”

Kkihihit. Kking!

[Hihihit. Five dried sweet potatoes!]

“Great Blackie, this is so delicious!”

Kkilook!

They didn’t care about such treatment as long as they could eat delicious things.

“I should eat the Transcendence Black Bean just in case.”

As Se-jun prepared five beans,

[The Tower Administrator asks if she can come, saying she is done with her work.]

“Just a moment.”

Gulp.

[You have consumed Transcendence Black Bean (+2).]

…

..

.

Se-jun quickly ate the Transcendence Black Bean and the other four beans.

Whoosh.

[Kai-Ra Vision Skill: Absolute Protection is activated for 10 minutes for you and your surrounding companions.]

[While Kai-Ra Vision Skill: Absolute Protection is active, physical resistance and resistance to other auras are increased by 10 times.]

He activated the skill by infusing magic power into Kai-Ra’s Protection Necklace.

And then,

“You can come now.”

Se-jun, who had perfectly finished preparing to meet Aileen, answered.

[The Tower Administrator says she will come then.]

“Se-jun, I missed you!”

Aileen appeared in front of Se-jun at the same time as his reply, smiling brightly.

“…Yeah. Me too…”

Se-jun, who was momentarily stunned by Aileen’s dazzling smile, quickly regained his senses and answered.

At that moment,

[The Blessing of the Blue Moon is shocked by a powerful aura and cracks.]

A message appeared in front of Se-jun.

‘Huh?! It cracked this easily?!’

What? The Blessing of the Blue Moon is so weak.

Luna, you got scammed.

Se-jun thought that Aileen’s aura was not strong, but the Blessing of the Blue Moon was weak.

Because Se-jun’s stats were currently increased 16 times with the bean set, and then strengthened by 10% with [Talent: Stronger Than He Looks].

Thanks to that, Se-jun’s total stats were close to 220,000.

On top of that, he was doubly protected by >Authority: Strong Young Dragon’s Strong Bones> and [Kai-Ra Vision Skill: Absolute Protection], and

Theo was diligently absorbing Aileen’s aura…

“Meow?! Nya nya nya!!!”

“Huh?!”

Theo’s condition is strange?

Theo was burning money with his left front paw holding a money bag, and frantically moving his golden right front paw.

What is it?

When Se-jun thought something was wrong,

‘He’s really okay!’

Khehihi. Our Se-jun has become really strong!

Eileen smiled, watching Sejun pretend that nothing had happened.

“Then, a kiss it is!”

Excited, she stepped forward, ready to kiss Sejun.

And then…

Boom!

Suddenly, the air around Eileen exploded outwards. It was like a giant invisible hand pushing everything away. The ground shook, and Sejun felt a blast of hot air.

[The Blessing of the Blue Moon vanishes in the face of overwhelming power.]

“Kraaah!”

Thud, thud, crash!

As the Blessing of the Blue Moon disappeared, Sejun felt an incredible force hit him, sending him flying.

[>Authority: Unbreakable Body> is activated.]

[Consuming magic to protect the body from shattering.]

[Magic is critically low.]

[Dragon Race Skill – Dragon Scales is activated.]

[The scales of the Great Black Dragon Kaiser are destroyed.]

[>Authority: Sturdy Young Dragon Bones> prevents bones from breaking.]

[Consumed 1 Bead of Life.]

“What… is going on…?”

Sejun was thinking so much about getting stronger himself, he forgot about Eileen.

This was happening again, just like before. But this time, it was even worse.

Didn’t even get a kiss…

Sejun, tears welling up from the unfairness, fainted.

Squeak! Squeak!

“Squeak! Silly Sejun! You should have asked Great Blackie for help!”

Blackie had been peeking through a slightly opened subspace warehouse, watching to see if Sejun was eating something delicious alone. He looked at the unconscious Sejun with disdain, thinking Sejun was the weakest.

However…

Whoooosh.

Even with Eileen’s energy raging, Blackie was unharmed. With enough Creation energy, Blackie was invincible.

Squeak!

“Heal the butler!”

Whoooosh.

Blackie pointed a paw at Sejun. A wave of warm, golden light flowed from Blackie and washed over Sejun. Sejun felt his pain disappear.

And then…

Squeak!

“Kids, close the door quickly!”

“Yes!”

Chirp!

Clang.

Blackie, his Creation energy used up, hurriedly closed the door to the subspace warehouse.

Meanwhile, far away on another part of the Tower…

First floor of the 10th Tower.

“What?! The door to the 10th Tower is destroyed?!”

[Yes. That’s why Master can’t come.]

“I see. I was getting angry at Sejun for no reason. I should apologize to him later.”

Stella, hearing Firestone’s explanation, understood her mistake about Sejun.

Just then…

“Indeed. Stella was in the wrong.”

Crunch. Crunch.

Hamer, the God of Farming, eating popcorn, criticized Stella.

“What?! How can you not know the door is destroyed? Fix it now!” Stella shouted at Hamer in anger.

In response…

“If I could, I would have already done it. Observer Mode!”

Hamer, not wanting to listen to Stella’s nagging, quickly hid himself.

“Aargh! How annoying! Hamer, you @#%!”

Stella cursed at Hamer for a long time.

“But Firestone, can you tell my mom I’m doing well?” She asked Firestone if he could send her regards.

[I can, but it costs money! About 10 billion Tower Coins?]

“Money?! I don’t have any money right now…”

[It’s okay! I’ll give it to you on credit! But there’s a late fee!]

Firestone, having learned the capitalist system well from watching Sejun.

“Alright. Then give it to me on credit.”

[Yes! Leave it to me!]

Stella, the first customer of Firestone Bank, opened a negative balance account.

Sejun woke up in a soft bed on the 99th floor. Sunlight streamed in from a high window.

“Hmm… a bed?”

Goro long.

Kiro long.

Eom ro long.

Kkirurung.

Sejun, regaining consciousness, looked around, listening to Theo purring on his lap, Blackie sleeping on his chest, and Eomdori and Kkomi clinging to Blackie’s fur, snoring.

And then…

“Eileen, I’m okay, so don’t feel sorry.”

Sejun comforted Eileen. He thought she must feel sorry.

[The Tower Administrator asks if you are really okay.]

“Yeah. I’m fine.”

Huh?! I really am okay?

Sejun realized he didn’t need to pretend. His body felt completely fine.

“But Eileen, has anything been going on lately?”

Next time, I’ll succeed!

Sejun began analyzing why he failed.

[The Tower Administrator says that she recently awakened and obtained the Authority called the Power of the Holy Dragon.]

“Ah. She awakened.”

But Ajax also awakened, didn’t he?

As Sejun was wondering…

[The Tower Administrator says that before that, as the Black Tower grew into the Black Colossus, she also obtained the Authority called Guardian Dragon of the Black Colossus.]

“Guardian Dragon of the Black Colossus?”

[The Tower Administrator says it’s an Authority that increases all stats by 100,000.]

“What?! All stats by 100,000?!”

So, the total stats increased by >Authority: Guardian Dragon of the Black Colossus> is 400,000, and if it’s multiplied by 10 with >Authority: Power of the Holy Dragon>…

That’s 4 million just from that?!”

Eileen’s base stats must be around 200,000 as well…

It was a miracle he wasn’t dead.

Sejun, talking with Eileen, figured out why he failed.

He realized that the only reason he was okay for 3 seconds in front of Eileen was thanks to the Blessing of the Blue Moon.

“Lady Luna, I’m sorry for not recognizing you. Earth Manipulation!”

I’ll build it tall for you!

[Luna Achievement Stone]

-Luna, the Goddess of Moonlight, who bestowed the Blessing of the Blue Moon. She was a goddess with foresight.

Thus, a 5-meter-tall Luna Achievement Stone was erected next to Her’s Achievement Stone.

“Next time, I’ll prepare more thoroughly!”

Heh heh. I’m a man who never gives up.

Sejun, having erected the achievement stone, vowed to prepare even more thoroughly for his next meeting with Eileen.

“Phoo hoo hoo. Chairman Park, I, Vice Chairman Theo, will also prepare more diligently, meow! I couldn’t play an active role this time, meow!”

Theo also burned with enthusiasm.

And then…

“Did you hear?! Lady Luna received a giant shrine from Park Sejun!”

“As expected of Mitupark!”

“Oh?! Come to think of it, isn’t the Seed Shop opening soon?!”

“That’s right! Let’s prepare the seeds quickly!”

“Alright! Mitupark!”

“Mitupark!”

The non-combat gods of the Seed Shop headquarters also began to burn with enthusiasm to sell good seeds to Sejun at the soon-to-open Seed Shop.
