Farming In The Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 493

Sejun, who had been eagerly awaiting the Blue Moon, quickly opened his subspace warehouse. He carefully took out the magical blueberries, spread the leaves, and gently placed the blueberries on top.

These weren’t just ordinary blueberries; each one shimmered with a unique color and bore a distinct name.

[Magical Blueberry]

[Magical Blueberry that has absorbed the energy of the Blue Moon once]

[Magical Blueberry that has absorbed the energy of the Blue Moon twice]

The more times a blueberry soaked up the Blue Moon’s energy, the deeper its blue hue became, and its title evolved accordingly. A blueberry could absorb the Blue Moon’s energy a maximum of three times.

“Hehehe. Today, I’ll finally see the complete version,” Sejun murmured, a smile playing on his lips.

About an hour passed as Sejun patiently waited for the Blue Moon to ascend fully into the sky.

“It’s up,” he whispered, his eyes fixed on the horizon.

The Blue Moon, radiant and ethereal, finally made its grand appearance.

[Luna, the Goddess of Moonlight, bestows upon you the blessing of the Blue Moon with its gentle, silvery-blue light.]

Luna’s blessing swiftly enveloped Sejun.

“Thank you, Luna,” Sejun whispered, feeling a surge of gratitude. *How could he ever repay the Goddess of Moonlight?* He was lost in thought when…

Kke-ek!

A mushroom ant scurried past Sejun, breaking his train of thought.

“Ah, I need to choose a mushroom ant to look after Luna’s monument. Hey, mushroom ant, come here,” Sejun called out.

Kke-ek?

Sejun waited patiently for the crops, now infused with the Blue Moon’s energy, to reveal themselves.

(Bat bat! Good evening, everyone!)

Flap. Flap.

Batbat, roused from his slumber, fluttered around Sejun and his companions, offering cheerful greetings.

“Morning, sleepyhead!” Sejun chuckled, gently stroking Batbat’s soft fur. “Did you have good dreams?”

(Yes! Very good dreams!)

“Good. Then you deserve a treat,” Sejun said, carefully pulling out a bunch of green grapes, still cool from the Silver Tower’s air. “Try these. They’re super juicy.”

(Bat bat! Oh, thank you, Sejun!) Batbat’s eyes widened with delight.

Slurp. Slurp.

With a flutter of wings, he landed on Sejun’s palm and eagerly began to slurp the sweet juice from a grape, making happy little noises.

A little later…

(Bat bat. So delicious! I’m full!)

Having devoured a whopping 10 green grapes, Batbat lay sprawled on Sejun’s palm, his belly full and content.

Batbat, with his round belly and tiny wings, looked like a small, furry pufferfish that had somehow learned to fly.

Sejun chuckled quietly to himself and gently stroked Batbat’s belly.

(Baehehehe.)

As Batbat snuggled in Sejun’s palm, being petted and overjoyed,

Srrr…

Blue lights began to be absorbed into the crops, making them glow with an ethereal luminescence.

“Let’s go harvest now,” Sejun announced, rising to his feet.

“Hehehe, Sejun, watch me! I, Theo the Great, will harvest the most! Prepare to be amazed, nyaa!” Theo exclaimed.

Kkueng!

[Kkueng will find them all with his nose, yo!] Kkueng added enthusiastically.

(Bat bat! I memorized a lot too!) Batbat chirped.

Theo zoomed through the rows, his paws a blur as he plucked the glowing crops. Kkueng sniffed the ground, his nose twitching, finding hidden blueberries under leaves. Batbat also tried his best to help.

Kkihihit. Kking!

[Hihit. The great Blackie has awakened!] Blackie declared, seeming full of energy as he roamed around the farm.

[Harvested a dark cherry imbued with the energy of the Blue Moon.]

…

Sejun also walked around the farm, harvesting crops bathed in the Blue Moon’s energy.

“The others will harvest the rest, right?” Sejun mused, having gathered a good amount of the visible blue crops.

I wonder if they’re complete?

He made his way to where he had carefully arranged the magical blueberries.

Just as Sejun had hoped, the blueberries had absorbed the Blue Moon’s energy, their colors deepening into richer shades, and their names evolving to reflect their enhanced state.

[Magical Blueberry that has absorbed the energy of the Blue Moon three times]

There it was, the blueberry Sejun had been eagerly anticipating.

Chuck.

“Let’s see what good fortune it holds,” Sejun said, his heart filled with anticipation.

Sejun picked up the darkest blue blueberry, its surface shimmering with captured moonlight, and examined its properties.

[Magical Blueberry that has absorbed the energy of the Blue Moon three times]

It is delicious because it has grown in the Black Tower and has been sufficiently nourished.

The magical blueberry has absorbed the energy of the Blue Moon three times, increasing its magic power and adding three special effects.

Magic power increases by 10 upon consumption.

Upon consumption, the talent: Swift Movement is activated for 10 minutes, all stats increase by 30, and the blessing of the Small Magic Spring is bestowed.

Usage Restriction: Lv. 50 or higher, Magic Power 50 or higher

Cultivator: Tower Farmer Park Sejun

Expiration Date: 150 days

Grade: A

Talent: Swift Movement increases the speed of the body by 30%, and the blessing of the Small Magic Spring increases the magic power recovery rate by 100%.

“Oh. Not bad?” Sejun said, a satisfied smile spreading across his face as he reviewed the blueberry’s impressive attributes.

“Hehehe. I, Hybrid Theo, the Vice President, harvested a whopping 300, nyaa!” Theo announced proudly.

Kkuhehehe. Kkueng! Kkueng!

[Hehehe. Then Kkueng won, yo! Kkueng harvested 400, yo!] Kkueng exclaimed triumphantly.

(Bat bat. I lost. I only got 200…) Batbat said sadly.

Meanwhile, the group gathered around Sejun, eager to share their harvest results.

Kkihihit. Kking!

[Hihit. Butler! Make roasted sweet potato jerky with this!] Blackie strutted in, covered in rich, dark soil, bits of leaves clinging to his fur, holding his head high with a proud gait.

“Ugh. What is this? You need to stay clean,” Sejun said, wrinkling his nose.

Sejun cleaned Blackie with a skill.

“Alright, everyone, let’s go to sleep,” Sejun announced, leading his companions inside the house for a well-deserved rest.

Meanwhile, far away from Sejun’s farm, news was spreading quickly in the Seed Shop Headquarters.

“The God of Loneliness has been born!”

“Really?!”

“Let’s go take a look!”

“Yeah!”

The non-combat gods, always eager for novelty, flocked to find Woori, the God of Loneliness.

“Welcome,” Woori greeted them shyly.

“You’re the God of Loneliness?” one of the gods asked.

“Yes… I’m Woori, the God of Loneliness,” Woori confirmed.

“Woori?”

“Yes. Sejun gave me the name so I wouldn’t be lonely! So I’m going to be a god who comforts those who are lonely!” Woori explained, his voice filled with newfound purpose.

“Sejun? Woori, don’t tell me the Sejun you’re talking about is the Tower Farmer Park Sejun from the Black Tower?” another god inquired, his eyes wide with disbelief.

Not only the god who asked the question, but all the non-combat gods around him waited with bated breath for Woori’s answer.

Surely not… it can’t be. (Even if he’s a bit of a simpleton… if it’s true, I’ll immediately all-in my divine power to Park Sejun!) one god thought.

It can’t be, right? (Even if he’s a simpleton, the name of a god… maybe a simpleton could do it?!) another god pondered.

The gods desperately tried to hide their rising expectations, fearing the crushing disappointment that would follow if their hopes were dashed.

“Oh?! How did you know?” Woori asked, tilting his head in confusion. How did these gods know Sejun’s name?

“Oh! Good heavens!” one of the gods exclaimed.

“A simpleton! Now he’s even naming gods?!” another god cried out in disbelief.

The non-combat gods erupted into an uproar upon hearing Woori’s confirmation.

Usually, only creator gods can name new gods like Woori.

The fact that Sejun had done it carried significant implications.

At that moment,

[Black Tower Farmer Park Sejun has placed Mushroom Ant No. 3003 as the lowest-ranking follower of the temple for you.]

[Divinity increases by 10.]

[The lowest-ranking follower, Mushroom Ant No. 3003, cleans the temple surroundings.]

[Divinity increases by 0.2.]

[The lowest-ranking follower, Mushroom Ant No. 3003, cleans the dust from the temple.]

[The visibility increases by 1m when others view the temple.]

[The lowest-ranking follower, Mushroom Ant No. 3003, brings his friend Mushroom Ant No. 3002 to your temple.]

[Mushroom Ant No. 3002 witnesses your temple.]

[Divinity increases by 0.0002.]

…

Messages appeared neatly in front of Luna.

“Park Sejun has assigned believers to my temple!”

“What?! Believers?!”

“Believe in Tupak!!!”

Luna and the other peaceful gods at the Seed Shop’s main office were chanting slogans and making a lot of noise.

And I, the God of Loneliness, also chanted, “Believe in Tupak!” with the other peaceful gods.

It’s so much fun here! We are no longer lonely.

Black Tower, 99th floor.

“Oof!” Sejun woke up later than usual because he had stayed up late the night before.

Grumble.

“I’m hungry.”

“Meow…” Kooeng…

Squeak…

He took care of his companions, rubbed his belly, and went to the cafeteria.

“Sejun Unit 1, give me some food.”

He ate the meal prepared by his companions and Sejun Unit 1, a magical copy of himself that helped with tasks.

Hehehe. Food made by others is the best.

Sejun was enjoying his meal.

But is it really made by someone else? Sejun Unit 1 was an entity that replicated his own abilities. A question suddenly arose.

“Eh. What does it matter?” Sejun ignored the small question and continued to enjoy his meal.

As breakfast ended, Kooeng brought him coffee.

“Daddy, here’s coffee!”

“Thanks. Mmm. As expected, the coffee Kooeng makes is the best,” Sejun said, praising Kooeng as he drank his coffee.

Koohehehe.

Kooeng smiled and sat next to Sejun, leaning against him.

A short while later, as the pleasant break after breakfast came to an end, Kooeng said,

“Daddy, Kooeng is going to gather herbs!”

Kooeng left for the western forest.

“Puhuhu. The great Hybrid Chairman, I, Hybrid Vice Chairman Teo, will be going down to the lower floors, meow!” Teo prepared to go down the tower, but not towards the Green Tower.

“Huh? You’re going down the tower? Where are you going?”

“I need to increase my influence, meow!”

Increase what? Influence?

Sejun looked at Teo, wondering what he was talking about. Teo had already disappeared, using Nyanbo to exit the 99th floor of the Black Tower.

Well… he’ll be back soon.

Knowing Teo’s tendency to always stick to his lap, Sejun felt relieved and started his morning routine.

Clang.

Sejun opened his magic storage room and went inside.

“Good morning, everyone.”

Kyakyakya!

Kiki!

After greeting the strange plant creatures that helped him farm, he worked.

As Sejun was busily planting seeds, one of the strange plant creatures waddled towards Sejun and spat out a seed into Sejun’s hand.

The fact that the plant creature spat out a seed meant that it had planted 1 million seeds.

“Good job.” Sejun stroked the head of the plant creature that spat out the seed and praised it, then planted a new seed.

At that moment, the seed began to grow, and it could now use the Aura of Sunlight, providing sunlight to crops within 10 meters during the day.

Of course, the weather on the 99th floor of the Black Tower was always nice, so it was a completely unnecessary aura.

“Well. That’s just like me.” As Sejun was about to start working again, feeling disappointed, Patrick, the God of Earth, asked if he could quickly come to the 10th Tower, as Hamer had completed the quest.

Patrick spoke up on behalf of Hamer, who was blocked. It was satisfying that Hamer was blocked, but Sejun needed to get to the 10th Tower quickly.

“Quest? Actually…” As Sejun was about to complain about why there was no reward for the quest, Patrick spoke again, saying that it would be good to complete the quest, as the quest reward was also good.

“What are you talking about?! The reward is good?! There is no reward!” Sejun, who had been building up frustration with Patrick’s words, exclaimed in anger.

[······.]

Patrick was silent for a moment at Sejun’s reply.

Patrick said he would go and check for a moment. After 10 minutes, 3 drops of Enhancement Elixir and 10 billion Tower Coins were added to the quest reward.

Hamer’s quest reward has been changed.

Black Tower, 75th floor.

Teo arrived at the merchant district, humming a tune. Sitting on the floor, he ate the Churu that Sejun gave him and began to watch the passing merchants.

About an hour passed. Zeras, who was patrolling the merchant district, approached and asked after discovering Teo.

“Teo, what are you doing here?”

“Puhuhu. Zeras, nice to see you, meow! I am looking for a merchant who will become a great merchant, meow!”

“A merchant who will become a great merchant?”

“That’s right, meow! I will create many great merchants and increase my influence, meow! Puhuhu.”

Teo’s plan was to gather the votes of the great merchants and gather the power to influence the system. It was called the Great Merchant Project.

“Yes… good luck.” It felt like something bad was going to happen.

Zeras quickly left the area to avoid getting involved with Teo, who was smiling mischievously. About 30 minutes passed after Zeras left. Teo found someone.

“Puhuhu. You, become my great merchant, meow!” Teo grabbed a passing merchant.
