Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 491

A commercial shoot in America.

“Alright, Miel, just relax and be as natural as possible,” the director said.

“Yes,” Miel replied confidently and began acting.

“You nasty monster! Take my pineapple bomb! You’ll explode with deliciousness?!” Miel shouted, throwing a pineapple at a giant leech mascot.

Thud.

Roll roll.

The pineapple hit the leech and rolled weakly across the shiny studio floor.

“Deli…licious…” The leech monster collapsed, uttering one last word with great effort.

Miel almost forgot she was acting in this very silly situation.

‘They said the explosion and the leech monster’s smile would be added with CG, right?’ Imagining the explosion and the leech’s smile, she continued acting.

“Hahaha! How is it?! How’s the taste of the Pineapple Bomb from Miel, the Pineapple Girl?!” Miel grabbed the leech monster by the collar and delivered her next line.

“One…more…” The leech monster uttered its last line, and the commercial shoot ended.

“Cut! Miel, great job. Your acting was excellent,” the director said.

“Haha. Thank you,” Miel responded.

As Miel finished the shoot and was talking with the director, her manager approached, urging her to move on to the next schedule.

“Miel, we need to leave now to make it to the Hawaiian Pineapple Festival.”

“Ah. I’m sorry. I have to go because I have another schedule,” Miel said.

“Yes, you’re busy these days. Go ahead,” the director replied.

Miel said goodbye and hurriedly left the set with her manager for her next schedule. Miel became famous as the Pineapple Girl, using pineapples in her acts for the first time on Earth. Recently, she was receiving enthusiastic offers from people in the pineapple industry.

Silver Tower, 82nd floor.

Kooeng! Kooeng!

[Reverse Current is when you use the enemy’s power to make your attack stronger! Like bouncing back their attack! It would be nice if Daddy had it too!]

‘Yes, it would be nice to have. But son, your idea is not quite right. Could Daddy really launch a stronger attack than the enemy’s attack?’ Sejun thought it seemed impossible to acquire the power.

“Okay. Let’s practice later,” he replied so as not to hurt Kooeng’s feelings, and stroked Kooeng’s head.

Stroke. Stroke.

Koohehehe.

Kooeng giggled, pleased by Sejun’s stroking.

“Meow! Hybrid Teo, Vice President, wants a head rub too, meow!” Teo quickly placed Sejun’s other hand on his head.

Stroke. Stroke.

Sejun stroked Teo and Kooeng with both hands.

Squeak?!

[Hey! What about me?!]

Kkamangi started barking, asking for a head rub too.

“Here. Wait while eating this, Kkamangi.” Sejun, unable to use his hands freely, gave Kkamangi dried sweet potato.

Squeak!

[I want a hand, not this!]

He repeatedly demanded Sejun’s hand. Of course, he didn’t return the dried sweet potato Sejun gave him and quickly put it in his sling bag.

“Alright. Then I’ll have to use this method.”

“Kooeng, float Kkamangi over here.”

Kooeng!

[Understood!]

Kooeng, receiving Sejun’s head rubs, used his mind power to float Kkamangi in front of Sejun.

“Pffft.”

Sejun put his mouth to Kkamangi’s belly and made a farting sound.

Hee hee hee. Squeak!

[Hee hee. That tickles!]

As Sejun was playing with the three of them and taking a break, a massive tremor occurred.

“Huh?”

Crack.

The World Tree suddenly grew rapidly as if sprouting from the ground, instantly reaching a height of 30 meters above ground, carrying Sejun and his companions.

Crack. Crack.

The massively grown grapevine began to move its vines, weaving a net with thick tendrils, creating dozens of layers of vine netting.

“Oh. So, this is how it weakens the wind.” Sejun watched the netting being created from the top of the World Tree and realized the World Tree’s intention.

The netting was not so dense that residents could not pass through, but the wind would lose its strength as it collided with the net.

Just then, a quest completion message appeared.

[The grape seed containing the World Tree planted in the Silver Tower has grown and weakened the wind of the Silver Tower.]

[Quest completed.]

[Acquired 50 billion Tower Coins as a quest completion reward.]

[All stats increased by 100 as a quest completion reward.]

[Acquired 30 drops of Growth Elixir and 1 drop of Great Growth Elixir as a quest completion reward.]

[Job Talent: Growing Seed has bloomed as a quest completion reward.]

“Growing Seed?” Sejun first checked the talent.

[Job Talent: Growing Seed]

The seed absorbs the Tower Farmer’s sincerity each time the Tower Farmer diligently sows seeds, grows crops, and harvests them, causing the seed to grow. Additional effects occur depending on the growth stage of the seed.

Growth Stage: Unsprouted Seed

“Hmm. Is this good? I worked so hard to grow it, I hope it doesn’t just have some insignificant effect. Well, does it matter? The work I do is the same anyway, but the rewards are greater…” Sejun decided to think positively.

“Then I need to check this.” Sejun then checked the Great Growth Elixir, which emitted a fascinating red light in a small glass bottle.

[Great Growth Elixir]

An elixir containing a small amount of the supreme creation god’s energy. Upon consumption, grants 10 million experience points. Upon consumption, increases the lowest stat among Strength, Health, Agility, and Magic Power by 100, and greatly increases the proficiency of one of the possessed skills. Every 10 drops of Great Growth Elixir consumed increases all stats by 300.

Remaining Amount: 1 drop

Usage Restriction: None

Creator: ???

Grade: ★★

Gulp.

Sejun checked the options and immediately drank the Great Growth Elixir.

And

[Great Growth Elixir consumed.]

[Acquired 10 million experience points.]

[The lowest stat, Agility, increases by 100.]

[Proficiency of Weed Pulling Lv. 1 greatly increased.]

Messages popped up, showing that Sejun’s experience points, agility, and Weeding skill were all improving.

Sejun grumbled, “Seriously? Weeding again?”

Just then, the World Tree, who had finished making the net, spoke to him. [Hello, Sejun!]

Sejun, surprised, replied, “Oh, hello.”

He reached out and touched the tree he was standing next to when the World Tree made a bold request: [I don’t have a name! Please give me one!]

“Should I give it a name?” Sejun wondered.

Ba-dump! Ba-dump!

Hee hee hee! I wonder what name he’ll come up with!

Kamang and his friends perked up their ears, eager to hear what terrible name Sejun would choose. They were full of anticipation.

Since it’s a grape vine World Tree… Pose.

“How about Pose?”

[Pose… I love it!] Pose said happily, now that Sejun had given him a name.

Podori, who was also a grape vine, might have felt a little jealous of the name ‘Pose’.

If Podori had been the World Tree from the start, he would have been named Pose. But when Sejun first met him, Podori wasn’t a World Tree.

Also, Podori didn’t know that if he had been a female, the name Posoon was waiting for him.

Squeak…

[Butler is disappointed… ]

“Sejun, your naming sense isn’t what it used to be,” Theo said.

Chirp…

Sharyarang…

“I agree. Sejun’s touch has dulled a lot,” they chirped.

Caw…

Kamang and his friends were disappointed with the name Pose. Karuru seemed the most disappointed of all.

Just then,

[Sejun, Pose will make grapes, so please try them quickly! Yob!] Pose shouted cutely, and green grapes started growing on the vines instead of purple ones.

“Green grapes? I’ll enjoy them,” Sejun said.

Pluck.

As Sejun picked a bunch of grapes,

[You have harvested a bunch of seedless, plump green grapes (20 grapes).]

[Your job experience has slightly increased.]

[The proficiency of Harvesting Lv. 9 has slightly increased.]

[You have gained 2000 experience.]

A harvesting message appeared.

“Huh?! Seedless?” Sejun wondered if they might be sour.

Sejun looked at the grape’s information with a worried look.

[Seedless, Plump Green Grapes]

These grapes have had their seeds removed by the World Tree Pose for the Black Tower Top Farmer, Park Sejun.

Eating just one grape gives you enough nutrition.

When you eat one, all your stats go up by 1, and you feel full for 6 hours. (If your total stats are over 10,000, all stats go up by 0.01.)

Grower: Black Tower Top Farmer Park Sejun

Expiration Date: 150 days

Grade: S

“Oh. He took out the seeds for me. That’s so nice of him,” Sejun said, feeling better after reading the description.

The fact that all his stats increased by 0.01 wasn’t a big deal. He could increase them by eating other things.

I wonder what they taste like?!

Munch.

Trusting Pose, who was thinking of him, Sejun bravely put the grape in his mouth.

It wasn’t sour at all. The grape had a special smell and a strong, delicious mix of sour and sweet flavors.

“Delicious,” Sejun said.

[Really?!] Pose asked.

“Yeah,” Sejun replied.

[Hee hee hee. There are lots more, so please eat more!] Pose laughed strangely at Sejun’s compliment.

[Don’t eat them!] he suddenly shouted loudly.

“Huh?!” Sejun was confused. He just told me to eat them? Does Pose have multiple personalities?

Sejun carefully put down the grape he was about to eat.

[Ah… no. Not you, Sejun. Those guys,] Pose quickly explained, pointing a branch at the Silver Tower people who were staring at the grapes.

[Only people who work for Sejun can eat my grapes! So, if you want to eat the grapes, go to Theo and get a stamp!] It was like he had been taught this before, recruiting employees all by himself.

Stamp.

[You have stamped the Nine Dragons’ Employee Contract Seal.]

[You have entered into a one-year employee contract with the other party.]

“Puhuhu. Welcome to Sejun Company, meow!” Theo happily stamped the Silver Tower residents.

Koohehehe.

Keeheehee.

Sejun was able to easily get more employees while playing with Kkueng and Kamang on top of Pose.

A little later,

“Puhuhu. Pose, you are very excellent, meow! I, Theo Park, the hybrid genius, will make Pose a Great Merchant, meow! Herr, please make Pose a Great Merchant too, meow!” Theo saw that Pose had the potential to be a Great Merchant and wanted him to become one.

“If you refuse, it’s impeachment, meow!” As always, Theo threatened impeachment.

However,

[The World Tree cannot become a Great Merchant.] The system refused.

“Phew. I’m alive,” Herr, the god of merchants, said, relieved to have avoided being impeached thanks to the system.

“Meow! I don’t like the system, meow! It doesn’t listen to me and always bothers our great hybrid Chairman Park, meow! Someday, I will definitely get system access and punish it, meow!” Theo said, determined to punish the system one day.

Definitely.

To get stronger, I need Chairman Park’s lap, meow!

He hugged Sejun’s lap and started to recharge his energy.

The outskirts of destruction.

“Heh heh heh. I’m finally sitting here.” After Fenrir and Halphas, even Jormungandr, who was being brought back to life after being defeated by the dragons, left his seat. Now, the next in line, the 4th seat of the Apostles of Destruction, the Demon of Ruin, Melfice, began to command the destruction.

I wanted to try this so much.

Melfice started causing disasters to destroy the world.

But

“Huh?! What’s going on?” Why were the disasters dying so quickly?

The more Melfice tried to cause disasters, the faster they were destroyed, and the power of destruction that was destroying the world weakened.

“What is it? Hey! Fight properly!” Melfice didn’t know that he was a terrible player.

Because of this, more than half of the forces of destruction were wasted, and the world’s destruction was delayed a lot.
