Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 487

Inside Sejun’s subconscious.

“Umm… Where is this?” Sejun looked around at the suddenly changed environment.

Vast fields stretched as far as he could see, filled with grains and fruits. A blue river ran through the center of the farm. Next to the river stood a small cabin, where Sejun’s farm family was gathered, enjoying a meal together.

The sky above was breathtaking, deep indigo blue fading into soft pink near the horizon, like a painter had gently brushed the colors across the vast canvas. Bright shooting stars streaked down, leaving trails of sparkling light. As they touched the ground, a magical change happened.

The stars shimmered and grew, becoming gods in robes of pure white and dragons with scales that glittered like a thousand emeralds. They joined Sejun’s farm family by the river, laughing and talking as they shared a meal of sweet fruits and golden grains. The gods and dragons played games around the cabin, their joyful shouts echoing in the peaceful air, before fading away like morning mist.

Just then, fwoosh.

A being emitting a strong light appeared and looked down at Sejun, speaking in a warm voice, “You’ve been through a lot, stuck among such powerful beings.”

“Ugh. Who are you?” Sejun asked, unable to see properly due to the glare.

The being responded, “I can’t tell you now. Take this.”

Instead of answering, the being sent a blue orb of light into Sejun’s body, and the orb was absorbed.

Then, messages appeared before Sejun.

[The power of creation is transformed into the most suitable talent and skill for Black Tower Farmer Park Sejun to survive.]

[Talent: Awakened the Master of Deflection.]

[Skill – Bunker Lv. 1 has been learned.]

“If you were stronger, I could have given you something better…” the being said.

Sejun, bothered by the being’s words, simply said, “Thank you.”

Since he was given talent and skill for free, he gratefully accepted and checked what he had received.

[Talent: Master of Deflection]

Instinctively deflects attacks to minimize damage. As a master, the first attack is guaranteed to be deflected by 99% of its power.

[Bunker Lv. 1]

Creates a 3-pyeong bunker with a thickness of 5m to protect the body. The bunker reduces external impact by 5% and external energy by 10%.

The talent and skill seemed okay, but not amazing or very clear.

‘Just give me something good,’ Sejun grumbled to himself.

“You’re going to have a hard time in the future,” the shining being said to Sejun.

Feeling a sense of rebellion at the words ‘have a hard time,’ Sejun resisted, “I don’t want to. I’m not going to have a hard time.”

He continued, “I’m going to keep living comfortably like this! I will never, ever have a hard time! That’s what I want.”

The shining being stared at Sejun in disbelief.

Sejun, seeing the being use the power of creation, thought it might know something about the Creator God and asked, “But by any chance, do you know anything about the Creator God who just built the tower and ran away?”

The being wrapped in light flared up at Sejun’s words, “You scoundrel!!!” and kicked Sejun out of his subconscious.

Before leaving, the being shouted, “Who spread the rumor that a strategic retreat was a runaway?” The shining being left Sejun’s subconscious to catch the culprit who spread the strange rumor. He thought he was being smart, not running away!

Pat. Pat.

“······”

Hmm. Was that bouncy paw Teo?

Sejun, still unable to open his eyes, analyzed the paw slapping his face in a hazy state.

“President Park, wake up, meow!” Teo said.

Pat. Pat.

“Vice President Teo, I’m awake,” Sejun said, feeling his cheeks getting hotter.

He hurriedly opened his eyes and spoke.

“Eileen, the great hybrid President Park has woken up, meow!” Teo announced.

“Really?! Sejun! You’re awake! Are you alright? Did you get hurt anywhere?” Eileen, who was making nutritious porridge for Sejun, rushed over, her face filled with worry.

Sejun was greatly relieved. He was glad he woke up. If he had eaten Eileen’s porridge while still asleep, he might never have woken up!

Sejun regained his senses.

[Safe Zone Maintenance Time: 55 minutes 31 seconds]

“Huh?! Safe zone?!”

He belatedly realized that a safe zone had been created on the 99th floor of the Black Tower due to his miracle.

He thought, ‘Have I created another amazing miracle?’ feeling proud.

“Sejun, there’s no time! Let’s play quickly!” Eileen urged Sejun.

“Okay! I got it!” Sejun replied.

But what should they play?

A little later, Sejun asked, “Vice President Teo, what do you want?”

“Heh heh heh. I want this, meow!” Teo, sitting on Sejun’s lap, picked a card with his front paw.

“Heh heh heh. Really?!” Sejun smiled slyly and played the card Teo had chosen.

It was a card that didn’t match the one on the floor, but the moment Teo chose it, all calculations were useless.

Clap! Clap!

“Ssuck! With Sseul! Ja. Give me two points each,” Eileen said, taking 6 points from the opposing teams, laying them on the floor, and calculating the score.

“We got 5 points. I’ll go!” Eileen shouted in a triumphant voice, looking at the remaining cards and the cards laid down by the opponents.

This was not Sejun’s first plan. He wanted to go on a date with Eileen without anyone disturbing them.

However, as soon as Sejun, who had never been in a relationship, thought about what he should do alone with a woman, his mind went blank.

So, he hurriedly changed his plan and started a game of cards, a favorite way to relax after a long day, which everyone could play together.

Because precious time was passing, and he couldn’t waste even a minute.

So, Team Sejun, Eileen, and Teo went for 1 Go.

-Eing!

Kellion, the representative of the Four Dragon Society, had nothing left to eat on the floor because Sejun was sweeping everything away. After much deliberation, he discarded the Three Lights and Chuck flipped the card over, but it was a Rain Man.

“Woohoo. Kellion, thank you for the meal!”

Clap.

Yuren, whose turn was next, ate the Three Lights with a cherry blossom card with a red border.

-Are you stupid?!

-Why did you throw away the Light?!

Ramter and Tia scolded Kellion as they watched.

But then, “Huh?!”

The card Yuren flipped over had cherry blossoms drawn on it.

“Doublet.”

As expected, unlucky Yuren.

Bbyot?!

[No. Why are you just eating what they give you?!]

“Yuren, I’m really disappointed in you.”

While Yuren was being scolded by his teammates Bbyot and Bayon, Moo!

Thud!

The Bull Demon King ate the Rain Man and Chuck flipped the card over confidently, but First Light.

He quietly laid down his cards.

The turn went around to Sejun’s team.

“Puhuhu. Chairman Park, this is itnyang! This is how we finish itnyang!”

“Hehehe. Alright.”

Slap! Slap!

Sejun ate what Yuren discarded and used the flipped card to take a Bright card, ending the game.

“Since it’s a ‘bogus’ call, one blood card each.”

Aileen received one blood card from each team.

Aileen finished calculating the score. “10 points… 3 Brights, Red Ribbon, One Go… 17 points. Stop.”

Because Kkuaengyi’s team lost badly, they had to give 34 sweet potato slices. The other teams lost even worse, so they each gave 68 slices.

She collected the dried sweet potato slices, which were the stakes.

[Hehe. So fun! Master won again!] Kking! Kking!

“Sejun, fighting!”

Shalalang!

“Fighting-desu!”

Looking at the mountain of dried sweet potato slices piling up next to Sejun, Kamang and his subordinates cheered.

“Stop!”

As Sejun’s team’s three-game winning streak came to an end, all the sweet potato slices returned to Sejun.

The 300 dried sweet potato slices that were distributed to each team at the beginning all returned to Sejun.

They only had about ten minutes left in their special, safe place.

“Ahem. Then we should go drink. Theo, you come too.”

[We should go for special training too.]

“Yuren, didn’t we have something to do too?”

The dragons, the Bull Demon King, and Bayon politely said they had to leave.

“Nyang?! Dragon-nims, Hybrid Tae Vice Chairman doesn’t drinknyang!”

Kkuaengyi stomped his foot. “I don’t want special training! I want to play with Daddy!”

“Bayon, did we have something to do?”

Of course, there were some who were oblivious and tried to stay, but they were cleared away by the helpers who wanted to help Sejun and Aileen on their date.

And so, Sejun and Aileen were finally alone.

“…Shall we take a walk?”

“Okay.”

They walked slowly through the quiet garden. Flowers bloomed around them, smelling sweet in the air. As they talked about simple things, like the funny things Kamang had said, they both felt their hearts beat a little faster.

It was enjoyable.

It was happy.

The atmosphere ripened.

They only had about twenty seconds left in their special, safe place.

Sejun’s heart pounded in his chest. He had waited so long for this moment. He took a deep breath and turned to Aileen. “Aileen…”

Aileen’s eyes were shining. She had been hoping Sejun would say these words. Her heart leaped with joy. “Yes!”

At that moment, Kaiser, who had flown directly to the Silver Tower and caught Kwin, appeared, and Sejun’s voice was drowned out.

Aileen, who was only looking at Sejun, was able to hear Sejun’s words by using all her senses.

They only had one second left in their special, safe place.

“Yes! I’ll go out with you!”

Smooch!

Aileen hurriedly kissed Sejun on the lips and rushed back to the administrator area.

Of course, Aileen, who almost didn’t get the confession, got angry at Kaiser as soon as she returned.

“Granddaughter!”

Kaiser abandoned Kwin to appease Aileen and hurriedly moved to the administrator area.

The safe zone was disappearing.

“······.”

“The great Hybrid Chairman Park has fainted againnyang!”

Theo, who was at the fountain, rushed to Sejun, who had fainted while standing.

The safe zone was only to prevent damage from the opponent’s energy, and skinship was not included.

Sejun was so surprised and happy by Aileen’s kiss that he fainted! But luckily, he was strong enough to survive.

“Puhuhu. As expected of the great Hybrid Chairman Parknyang! He survived even after contacting Aileen noona-nyang!”

Theo’s respect for Sejun, who only fainted after touching Aileen, grew rapidly.

But his expression became even more serious!

Press. Press.

He massaged Sejun’s face diligently.

A few minutes later.

“Umm.”

[Would you like to exchange 70 million Harvest Festival commemorative grapes for the Guardian Stone of Uncle, the God of Grape Vines?]

“Yes. And turn all the rest into Blessed Grape Wine.”

Before the Harvest Festival ended, he went to the exchange shop and used all the Harvest Festival commemorative grapes.

“Take this with you.”

“Thank you, Sejun-nim!”

He distributed food to the returning foxes and prepared for their departure.

[The Great Harvest Festival, overflowing with abundance and magic that everyone enjoys, is coming to an end.]

[The 1,000 foxes summoned from the Nine Towers during the Harvest Festival are returning to their daily lives.]

As the Harvest Festival ended, the foxes returned to their homes.

As the Harvest Festival ended, the residents of the Black Tower, who had come up to the 99th floor to participate in the Harvest Festival, began to descend the tower one by one.

At that moment,

“Hey, wait a minute.”

Sejun called out to the Kkuaengyi faction’s black bears who were going down to the first floor.

He gave the black bears 1,000 seedless grapes for beginners, which were the rewards from the grape harvest competition, and said.

“Ah. Give 100 of them to Gyeongcheol there. Got it?”

Sejun, feeling that the previous gift to Gyeongcheol, who had introduced him to Fire, was not enough, prepared an additional gift.

“Yes! Leave it to us! We will definitely deliver it!”

And so, the residents and the Kkuaengyi faction’s black bears went down, and the farm became quiet.

Whoosh. Suddenly, a cool wind started to blow, ruffling Sejun’s hair and carrying the scent of distant flowers.

When Sejun felt the wind with his arms wide open,

The wind gradually became rougher and began to rage.

“Kuhuhu. I’ll kill you all!”

Kwin, whose madness had worsened while he was unconscious, went berserk.

Of course, there were many kind helpers here who would calm the madness.

Bang!

Whack!

The wind quickly fell asleep.

[Hehe. It’s time for the great Kamang-nim to step up!]

Kamang headbutted the fallen Kwin.
