Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 496

Sejun Company had a group job offer!

A message appeared: [Your potential is now at its limit. You cannot increase your stats further.]

“That’s a shame,” Sejun said.

Sejun was disappointed. He had borrowed power from the other Tower Farmers. He thought his stats would increase a lot. But they barely went up. This was because of his potential limit.

But it wasn’t all bad news. The stats were still borrowed. If Sejun’s potential grew later, he could use that borrowed power then.

“But how did Udon plant the Blazing Cherry?”

It couldn’t be Udon himself, or Lamter either.

If Lamter wanted to, he would have had Udon plant the seed a long time ago.

Who could it be?

Sejun thought for a moment.

“I’ll just ask Udon,” he decided. “Summon Udon.”

Sejun summoned Udon to ask him directly.

Sejun was much stronger now. He wasn’t worried about facing anyone, unless it was a dragon, of course.

[Summoning Red Tower Farmer Udon.]

Ten seconds later, a dwarf appeared. He was about waist-high to Sejun. He had a huge axe on his back, a thick red beard, and red hair like a lion’s mane. He shouted at Sejun right away.

“Hey! You! What’s going on?! Another seed in my pouch? Was that you?!”

Flames burst from Udon’s body, threatening Sejun.

Then, Theo jumped in.

“Haa! How dare a temporary worker get angry at our great Hybrid Chairman Park?! I, Hybrid Vice Chairman Theo, will punish you, nyaa!”

Theo started disciplining Udon immediately.

“Kkueng?! Kkueng!”

“[Did you just get mad at Daddy?! Kkuengi will punish you!]”

Sejun’s bodyguard, Kkuengi, also stepped forward.

“P-Please, with words…” Udon pleaded.

Udon, surrounded by two overwhelmingly strong beings, couldn’t even make a peep and was getting beaten.

“Kking?! Kking!”

“[How dare you threaten my butler?! Great Blackie will punish you!]”

Blackie also joined in and diligently beat Udon in his own way.

Udon didn’t even know what was happening.

Sejun watched Udon’s reaction and realized that Udon himself had no idea how he came to plant Sejun’s seed.

“Udon, return,” Sejun said.

Sejun sent Udon back. Udon was still being chased by Theo, Kkuengi, and Blackie.

Then what was it?

Sejun wondered again. Who made Udon plant the Blazing Cherry?

At that moment, Sejun thought of Bayon. He pictured Bayon’s mischievous smile.

‘It’s very possible,’ he thought.

“Hehe. I’ll thank him when I go to the Red Tower later.”

Sejun, his curiosity resolved, smiled pleasantly and returned home.

The next morning, Sejun finished his morning coffee.

“Alright. Roll call!”

“Nyaa!”

“Kkueng!”

“Kking!”

Tap tap tap!

At Sejun’s words, the group quickly lined up in front of him in the order of Theo, Kkuengi, and Blackie.

“Good. To the subspace warehouse!”

Sejun opened the warehouse door and spoke. The three pets trotted inside.

Clang.

He closed the door.

“Eileen, I’m off.”

[The Tower’s Administrator tells you to have a safe trip.]

“Okay.”

Whoosh.

He opened the land document and disappeared.

Sejun was moving to the 94th floor of the Tower to complete Hamer’s quest and open the door to the 10th Tower.

[You have arrived at the 94th floor of the Black Tower.]

Thanks to his title, Sejun was invincible for one second.

Sejun arrived on the 94th floor of the Tower.

Wham!

“Huh?!”

As soon as he arrived, a giant dinosaur’s tail struck Sejun.

[You have received a critical attack.]

[You are in an invincible state.]

[You take no damage.]

Fortunately, there was no damage because he was invincible, but it was very painful!

Even though he took no damage, the pain was real. Tears came to his eyes.

At that moment, clang.

“Great Hybrid Park… Nyaa?! Chairman Park, why are you crying, nyaa?!!!”

“Who made our Chairman Park cry, nyaa?!” Theo shouted, opening the subspace warehouse and flying towards Sejun’s face.

Sejun quietly pointed to Mozark, who had hit him.

Mozark, surrounded by a red mist, had already flown into the sky and was preparing for the next attack.

“Haa! Did you make our Chairman Park cry, nyaa?!”

“I wasn’t crying… Tears welled up because it hurt, but I wasn’t crying. Really,” Sejun insisted.

“Anyway, go! Vice Chairman Theo!”

Theo immediately changed direction and moved towards the head of Mozark, who had attacked Sejun.

Whoosh.

Mozark attacked Theo with blades of wind created by flapping his huge wings.

However, Theo dodged the attacks.

“Nyaa! Nyaa!”

Theo freely changed direction, stepping on the air. It was thanks to the effect of >Title: One Who Runs Through the Sky>.

A moment later, Theo’s paw was tiny compared to Mozark, but it hit hard. Mozark crashed to the ground.

“Nyaa! You attacked Chairman Park, so this is for 1000 years, nyaa!”

Theo stood on Mozark’s head, which was now stunned. He stomped his paws on Mozark again and again.

[You have subdued Chikasan’s ruler, Black Drake Mozark, who was illegally occupying the coffee tree farm.]

[You have been recognized as the rightful owner of the Black Tower 94th floor coffee tree farm land document.]

[The land document skill: Farm Information Lv. Max is activated.]

At the same time, the land document quest was completed.

“Oh! This is a coffee tree farm?!”

Now I can pick fresh coffee beans!

Sejun cheered as he looked at the message.

“So these are coffee trees,” he said.

Sejun looked at the surrounding trees and got excited.

“Hee hee hee! Kking!”

“[Hee hee! Pull, everyone!]”

Blackie bit and pulled on his core fragment embedded in Mozark’s chest.

“Yes!”

“Cheep! Cheep!” chirped the tiny birds.

“Shasarang!” Kamang barked, sounding strained.

“Yes, sir!” one little bird cheeped back quickly.

Squawk! Another bird pulled harder on Kamang’s fur with its beak.

*Pop!*
*Squeak!* Kamang yelped with joy as the core fragment finally popped out. He wagged his tail and tumbled around, playing with his little bird friends. He had worked so hard to pull out that fragment!

“Hee hee hee! Squeak!”

[Hee hee! Butler! Take this!]

Eat it quickly, get stronger, and make lots of delicious things for me!

He ran to Sejun, holding his core fragment in his mouth.

“Oh, thank you.”

As Sejun received the core fragment from Kamang,

[You have acquired a fragment of the door leading to the 10th floor.]

Along with the message, a fist-sized brown piece of wood separated from the core fragment, and Sejun obtained the fourth fragment of the door leading to the 10th floor.

Sejun had defeated one monster to get revenge, finish the quest for the land deed, and acquire a fragment of the door leading to the 10th floor—a triple win.

[Fenrir’s Core Fragment (0.5%)]

Theo caught a 0.5% fragment so easily?!

He was surprised as he looked at the core fragment in his hand.

Considering that Ajax struggled with a 0.1% core before his awakening, it was clear how much stronger Theo had become.

Theo, when did that rascal get so strong?

Sejun suddenly felt a twinge of jealousy.

However,

“Phoo hoo hoo! The great Hybrid Chairman Park, I, Hybrid Vice Chairman Theo, punished the guy who made Chairman Park cry, nya!”

Seeing Theo’s smug smile as he ran towards Sejun, his jealousy melted away.

“I wasn’t crying.”

“Nya?! I definitely saw water flowing from Chairman Park’s eyes, nya!”

“That was rain.”

“It was raining, nya?!”

“Yeah.”

Theo completely trusted Sejun’s words. He thought it had rained as Sejun said.

“Now there’s only one left. Let’s go to the 59th floor of the tower.”

“Phoo hoo hoo! Understood, nya!”

Sejun and his party used the land document for the 59th floor of the tower to move again.

Black Tower 59th Floor.

“Run away quickly!”

“It’s over if we get touched!”

Crack!

The residents of the 59th floor of the tower fled, avoiding the ice that was approaching them. Goblins and fairies screamed as they tripped over each other, trying to escape the freezing air.

“This is the right place.”

I can feel Fenrir-nim’s energy here.

A blue-skinned woman, indifferent to the fleeing residents, spoke in a seductive but cold voice and moved in the direction where she felt Fenrir’s energy. Her skin was the color of a frozen lake, and her eyes were like chips of ice.

The Apostle of Destruction, Bimyung, and the Ice Queen, Sasha.

She set out to find Fenrir, Kuruger, Violet, and Alice, who were all loners like herself and had disappeared.

At that moment,

[You have arrived at the 59th floor of the Black Tower.]

[>Title: One Who Reached the Top of Five Towers> grants invincibility for 1 second.]

Sejun appeared before Sasha.

Although they were quite far apart,

Crack!

Sasha’s cold air tried to freeze Sejun. The air smelled sharply of snow, blurring the edges of his vision.

Sasha had sent pieces of her power into the Black Tower to find Fenrir, and Sasha, who was currently in front of Sejun, was in a state where the fragments gathered inside the tower, giving her 1% of her original power.

[You have received an unbearable cold attack.]

[You are in an invincible state.]

[You take no damage.]

“Huh?!”

Cold air?!

“Greenhouse!”

As soon as Sejun saw the message, he hurriedly used the skill.

[Greenhouse Lv. 6 is activated.]

[A warm greenhouse is created within a 2km radius.]

[Greenhouse Lv. 6 proficiency is being filled.]

[The greenhouse temperature drops significantly due to the surrounding cold air.]

“Whew. I’m alive.”

Shiver shiver.

Sejun trembled from the cold. It was still below freezing, but thanks to the Greenhouse skill, it was bearable. He could feel the cold tingling on his skin, even through his invincibility.

And then,

Clang.

“Nya?! Great Hybrid Chairman Park, why is water coming out of your nose this time, nya?! Are you very cold, nya?!”

Don’t worry, nya! I, Hybrid Vice Chairman Theo, will warm you up, nya!

Snuggle.

Theo, who came out of the subspace warehouse, hurriedly hugged Sejun’s knees and became a fur coat. He purred as he snuggled closer.

Squeak!

[Kkuengi will also warm Daddy up!]

Kkuengi also clung to Sejun’s side, warming him up.

And then,

Squeak?!

[This is Sasha’s energy?!]

Kamang felt Sasha’s energy from afar.

Achoo!

He sneezed from the cold, and snot came out of his nose like Sejun.

Is it too cold?

Squeak!

[Giggle, take Umdori and Alice and bring Sasha!]

Cheep!

Following Kamang’s instructions, Kkomi wrapped Karreureu’s body with spiderwebs to create a barrier that blocked the cold air.

As Karreureu left with Umdori and Kkomi,

Squeak! Squeak!

[Butler! I’m cold! I want to go home quickly!]

Kamang barked, telling him to quickly put him in the sling bag.

“Okay, is our Kamang cold?”

Sejun quickly picked up Kamang, wiped his snot, and put him in the sling bag.

Since it was still cold, Sejun put on a few more layers of clothes,

“But is this a farm?”

As Sejun looked around at the piles of straw stacked high around him, he noticed old fences and scattered tools, and the air smelled of hay and earth.

Rustle.

A goblin cautiously peeked out from the pile of grass.

“Oh?! Vice Chairman Theo?”

It was Paku, Skaram’s nephew.

And then,

[A quest has been generated.]

[Quest: Either eliminate or negotiate with the Green Goblin tribe illegally occupying the sesame farm and reclaim the rights to the land.]

Reward: Recognition as the rightful owner of the sesame farm on the 59th floor of the Black Tower

A message appeared in front of Sejun.

“Heh heh heh. Will you negotiate nicely and work here, or will you get beaten up and work here?”

Can I eat sesame oil now?

Sejun, whose mind was filled with sesame oil, looked at Paku and spoke with a villainous smile,

“Phoo hoo hoo. Paku, quickly bring the other goblins to get jobs, nya!”

Theo had Paku bring the other goblins. The cold had completely disappeared.

“Yes! Of course! I’ll bring them quickly!”

What a lucky break! Jobs for everyone!

Paku was delighted and hurriedly went to bring the goblins in the village.

While Paku went to bring the other goblins,

Flap. Flap.

Squawk!

[Great Kamang-nim, I have brought Sasha!]

Peep!

[Fenrir-nim! You were here!]

Karreureu flew in with Sasha, the blue-skinned woman.
