Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 499

Sejun, I will take just the energy Sejun needs from that stone.

Sejun couldn’t even touch the lava bloodstone because it was so hot. So, Umdori stepped forward confidently.

Umdori used to be Kuruger. Kuruger destroyed a very strong enemy. So, for Umdori, getting the right energy out of a hot stone was easy.

Really? Then, I’ll ask you to do it.

Yes! Haaap!

Thump.

Umdori was excited and hugged the grape-sized lava bloodstone.

Then,

Sluuuurp.

Umdori and the lava bloodstone changed shape like soft dough and joined together.

And then,

Ugh…

Umdori!

Squeak!

Our Umdori is melting!

Umdori was simply melting away.

The lava bloodstone looked like just a stone, but it had lava inside.

Peep!

Don’t worry, Umdori! I’ll cool you down!

Shari used to be the 5th seat of the Apostles of Destruction, the Queen of Screams and Ice. She quickly stepped forward, put her wings on Umdori’s body, and blew cold air.

However,

Sssssss!

Startled.

Shari quickly took her wings off Umdori.

Peep-peep!

H-hot! My feathers-burning!

She started to scream in pain, so loud it hurt ears. Shari said she was the Queen of Ice, but maybe ‘Queen of Screams and Overreacting’ was more accurate. She was definitely good at screaming.

Sssssss!

Meanwhile, Sejun quickly poured water on Umdori. Because of that, Umdori barely recovered and went back to his original form.

Sejun, I’m sorry. I didn’t know there was lava inside.

It’s okay. Thanks to you, I know there’s lava inside.

If I had just cooled the outside and eaten it…

I would have been cooked from the inside out and died.

Sejun comforted Umdori, who was blaming himself.

Peep…

I’m the Queen of Screams and Ice…

It’s okay, Shari.

Sejun then comforted Shari. She was sad because her powers felt weaker now.

Sejun understood how Shari felt. He knew what it was like to feel less powerful than before. It was like how only a sunfish truly understands another sunfish’s feelings.

A little later.

Okay, everyone, let’s go back.

Peep! Peep!

Yes! Let’s go home quickly!

Sejun, after comforting Shari, went to the waypoint with his friends.

As soon as they got to the waypoint,

Black Tower 59th Floor Boss Silver Wolf Tribe Chief Elka

Sejun! You’re back! It’s been too long!

Elka greeted Sejun with a wagging tail, bowing low.

Huh?! Why is Elka here?

The boss here is getting training, so I am the boss for now.

Training?

Yes. The great Black Dragon Eileen told Iona to give quest training to bosses below the 60th floor. This started a month ago.

Ah.

Eileen listened to my request.

Sejun seemed to know what kind of training the bosses were getting.

Eileen, can’t we just do the quests and go up without fighting the bosses when climbing the tower? Then we wouldn’t need to fight each other.

The tower administrator says they haven’t thought about that and will consider it.

I once said it would be good to climb the tower without fighting. It seemed she remembered.

Eileen, you didn’t forget what I said. Thank you.

Sejun thanked Eileen.

The tower administrator says that since it is your word, they should naturally remember it.

The tower administrator is sorry that they were still preparing and wanted to tell you when it was completed.

Eileen said it like it was nothing.

Hee hee hee. Sejun said thank you to me!

Thump thump!

Eileen in the administrator’s area was jumping up and down, feeling very proud.

Elka, are the other wolves doing well?

Sejun finished talking with Eileen and asked about the other wolves.

Of course! The young wolves are growing well, and the Silver Wolves and Black Wolves are doing well too. Sejun, but who is this?

This person?

Yes. The one with the special family line on Sejun’s chest.

Kkirorong.

Elka couldn’t stop looking at Kamang, who was sleeping on Sejun’s chest.

Ah. This is Kamang. You must have seen him before at my party.

Elka had seen Kamang at Sejun’s 1st anniversary party, but Kamang was a Super Sunfish then, so nobody noticed him.

Even if he had seen him, he probably thought he was just a normal dog, not a wolf with a special family line.

Is that so? I don’t remember. But did Sejun name Kamang himself?

Elka asked, thinking the name ‘Kamang’ sounded like a name for a normal dog.

Yeah. Is it okay?

…Yes. It’s a very fitting name for a special family line.

Elka had been around for a long time and knew how to hold back what he wanted to say.

Kamang, wake up. Say hello to Elka. He’s a wolf like you.

Squeak…

Kamang woke up, frowning, as Sejun woke him up.

I greet Kamang, the wolf of a special family line.

Elka paid his respects.

Hee hee hee. Squeak! Squeak! Kki…

Hee hee. That’s right! This body is from a special family line! Invincible wolf! The great Kamang…

Kamang was happy that Elka respected him and barked in a silly way before

Kkirorong.

Falling asleep again.

And then,

You have greeted the noble baby wolf.

All abilities increase by 1% for one week.

Talent: Faint Elegance blooms for one week.

A message appeared in front of Elka.

This was why wolves liked wolves from special family lines. Just meeting them gave them good buffs.

Then we’ll be going.

Yes! Goodbye!

Why is his fur suddenly shiny?

Sejun was confused why Elka’s fur looked different. Then, he went back to the 99th floor.

Black Tower 1st Floor.

I heard a hunter with stats over 500 appeared this time?

Yeah. I heard he’s Korean?

Really? So, is the second strongest person on Earth after Park Sejun also from Korea?

No. Maybe the strongest person will change. Honestly, no one knows Park Sejun’s stats.

That’s true. Everyone just says he’s amazing, so I guess he is.

Two hunters were talking about the new hunter who became famous very quickly.

No. Why are they saying such dangerous things?!

How could I become the strongest, better than Sejun?!

Kyungchul was quietly listening to their conversation with a proud look, but then he got scared.

If I eat this much, what about Sejun? We have to take care of Sejun too.

Let’s die together, classmate! We should eat good things together!

Kyungchul was trying to eat less seedless grapes by selling Sejun out.

However,

Haha. Oh Kyungchul, are you worried about Sejun?

Don’t worry. Sejun is much stronger than you. You’d have to eat about 5000 of those to be similar.

Stop talking silly talk and eat quickly! Or I’ll make you eat!

Okay! I’ll eat them!

Kyungchul learned how strong Sejun was from the Black Bears.

But do we even need to get stronger now?

It’s not bad to be strong, but now you can climb the floors just by doing quests…

Kyungchul said, remembering that the Phoenix Guild hunters had recently reached the 55th floor.

A month ago, the boss of the 51st floor gave a quest to bring him what he wanted so he would let people use the waypoint.

The bosses of the 52nd, 53rd, and 54th floors started giving similar quests every few days.

Because of this, hunters who had stopped climbing the tower were climbing again.

Well… they got stuck again on the 55th floor.

The Black Rabbit, the king and boss of the Red Ribbon Kingdom on the 55th floor, had a quest that was too hard.

Squawk!

Pass if you swim better than me!

The Black Rabbit learned to swim from Sejun in the Black Tower 99th floor pond and was very proud of his swimming.

Arrived at the Black Tower 99th floor.

Torongi!

Sejun arrived at the 99th floor and called Torongi on his way home.

Huh? Why are they lined up?

Sejun saw the Poison Honeybees lined up forever.

What’s going on?

What are you doing here?

He went to a Poison Honeybee in line and asked.

Whirr! Whirr!

Hello, Sejun! Dalkomi became the Poison Honeybee Queen, so we are waiting to say congratulations!

Our Dalkomi became the Poison Honeybee Queen?!

Then I have to go and congratulate her quickly!

Sejun hurried to the cave where Dalkomi’s hive was.

Then,

Beeing!

Welcome, Sejun!

Dalkomi had become the Poison Honeybee Queen. She was bigger and had nicer wings than before. She greeted Sejun at the cave entrance.

She had come out to greet him after her workers told her Sejun was here.

Dalkomi, congratulations on becoming the Poison Honeybee Queen.

Sejun congratulated her.

I’m so happy that Sejun congratulated me.

Rub rub.

Dalkomi rubbed her body against Sejun’s face, happy as always.

Sejun, this is a gift. I’ll go back in now.

She gave Sejun the seed that the Seventh had offered and hurried back to her hive to get congratulations from the other Poison Honeybees.

I should be giving her a gift…

I’ll have to get her something good later.

Sejun felt bad for Dalkomi.

???’s Seed

But this seed has question marks for a name?

The seed had no name. He picked it up and looked at it closely.

???’s Seed

???

It will hatch if you put magic power into the seed.

Usage Restriction: ???

It will hatch if you put magic power into it?

Sejun read the explanation.

Eileen, please check what this is.

Sejun had been taught by Eileen that unappraised items were dangerous ever since he entered the tower. He asked Eileen to check it.

A little later.

The tower administrator tells you not to plant it because it is a very dangerous seed.

Eileen said, handing Sejun the appraised seed.

Okay. I understand. I will never plant it.

What kind of seed is it?

Sejun answered and quickly checked the seed.

Seed of Magic Stream

A seed made to create a new magic stream as the magic stream disappears.

The last place where the magic stream disappeared was the 99th floor. The magic stream must be reborn on the 99th floor.

It will hatch if you put magic power into the seed. (Once you put magic power into it, you cannot stop until the magic stream’s stem is completed.)

Usage Restriction: Black Tower Farmer Park Sejun

As expected…

I’m glad I had it checked.

A seed that creates a magic stream. If I put magic power into it, my magic power would be sucked dry and I would die.

Dalkomi’s gift almost became Sejun’s way to die.

Seal.

Well… it’s not like the world will end just because there’s no magic stream.

Sejun tried to put the magic stream seed in his pocket without planting it.

Great Hybrid Park, give me that, meow!

Theo looked at the magic stream seed with sparkling eyes.

Okay.

Since only I can plant it, Sejun gave the seed to Theo.

Kkueng-ah, put it in here.

Kkueng!

Understood!

He had Kkueng, who was holding the lava bloodstone with telekinesis, put the lava bloodstone in the pond in front of the house.

Then,

Sssssss!

The water became hot.

Sejun put his hand in the water to check the temperature.

Hehehe. Hot spring complete.

He took off his clothes and

Splash.

Went into the steaming pond.

A quickly made outdoor hot spring.

Ugh. So refreshing.

He soaked his body in the hot water, and his tiredness went away.

Can I touch it now?

Thump.

Sejun put his hand on the lava bloodstone in the water to check the options.

Pu-hu-hut. Grow a lot, meow!

Tap. Tap.

Theo put the magic stream seed in the Pouch of Plenty and smiled as he tapped the pouch with his front paws.
