Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 509

Seed Shop Headquarters.

[The Third Apostle of Creation, Black Bean Bak, witnesses your temple.]

[Divinity increases by 5.]

[The first subordinate of the Third Apostle of Creation, Black Bean Bak, Tough Stone, witnesses your temple.]

“Just trust Bak!”

“Just trust Bak!”

“Just trust Bak!”

Leah and the other non-combat gods chanted the slogan again today, watching the message that their divinity was rising.

[The seventh subordinate of the Third Apostle of Creation, Black Bean Bak, Hairless Chil, witnesses your temple.]

[Divinity increases by 1.]

As the last message appeared,

“Wow! Black Bean Bak has a new recruit!”

Cheers erupted. One more head to increase their divinity.

The non-combat gods cheered like that.

“But the name is Hairless Chil?”

“Who named him that?”

They began to talk about Hairless Chil’s name. No matter how much they tried to ignore it, the name was so terrible that it was etched in their minds.

“Could it be… Park Se-joon?”

“What are you talking about?! Don’t you know our new God of Loneliness? Park Se-joon is a warm-hearted human who gives the name ‘Us’ to the God of Loneliness. There’s no way he would give such a strange name as Hairless Chil.”

“Ah, that’s right. My mistake. There’s no way Park Se-joon would do that.”

Thanks to the name Us, Se-joon was not suspected at all in the God Realm.

“Since you suspected Park Se-joon, say the slogan ten times.”

“Okay. Just trust Bak! Just trust Bak! Just trus—”

“Just trust Bak!”

“Just trust Bak!”

When one started chanting the slogan, the other non-combat gods also started chanting again.

“I’m so jealous…”

There were non-combat gods who were secretly watching those non-combat gods from inside their houses.

They were gods who had no contact with Se-joon and had not received divinity from him.

At first, all the non-combat gods were in a good mood, and they happily participated.

But is it okay to keep owing them like this?

At some point, as they continued to receive divinity from other non-combat gods, they felt ashamed and their self-esteem gradually plummeted.

I want to receive a temple from Park Se-joon too… but there’s no way…

They became more depressed and isolated due to envy and deprivation.

I’m lonely…

Eventually, they locked themselves in their houses and became alone. No. They began to feel comfortable being alone.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

Someone knocked on the door of Bena, the God of Ants.

If I stay quiet, they’ll just leave.

Bena deliberately did not answer.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

The other party did not leave and knocked on the door again. Continuously.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

The knock was regular, but it was relaxed as if there was no intention to rush.

As the knocking continued,

“Who is it?”

Bena had no choice but to open the door.

“Hello. I’m Us, the God of Loneliness. Bena, let’s talk for a bit. Can I come in?”

Us asked in a bright voice,

“Huh? Oh.”

Bena felt a sense of joy without realizing it and let Us into the house.

A moment later.

“Sniff sniff. I was so lonely…”

Bena, who was talking to Us, began to cry.

“It’s okay. Don’t be lonely. I’ll be by your side.”

“Really? Thank you. But Us, you’re the God of Loneliness, so why don’t you look lonely?”

“Because I’m not alone.”

“You’re not alone?”

“Yes. Because Se-joon is always with me.”

“Eh?! Park Se-joon is with you?!”

“Yes. In my heart.”

“Pfft. What?!”

Bena burst out laughing at Us’s words.

It’s true, so why are you laughing?

Us tilted her head.

“Hehe. Bena, let’s pray to Se-joon together. You never know. Se-joon might give Bena a temple.”

Us suggested praying to Bena.

“Should we?”

“Yes. Surely our hearts will be conveyed to Se-joon! Se-joon, can you hear me? It’s Us…”

The God of Loneliness, Us, prayed to Se-joon with Bena.

It was a sight where it was hard to tell who was the god.

Black Tower, 99th floor.

“Aileen, please change this name.”

Se-joon asked Aileen to rename the Slime Meat Bloodsucking Leech Leather Soup.

It was hard to pronounce, and every time he saw the name, he thought of wriggling leeches.

[The Tower Administrator asks if you have a name in mind to change it to.]

“Slime Seaweed Soup.”

He just added slime. It sounded better than Pork Seaweed Soup.

[By the authority of the Tower Administrator, the name of the dish, Slime Meat Bloodsucking Leech Leather Soup, is forcibly changed to Slime Seaweed Soup.]

As the name of the dish was changed to Slime Seaweed,

“Everyone, let’s eat seaweed soup.”

Se-joon and his party began to eat seaweed soup with white rice.

“Puhuhut. As expected, Chairman Park’s grilled fish is the best, meow!”

Theo only ate grilled fish again today.

Koohehehe. Kooeng!

[Hehehe. As expected, Dad’s cooking is all delicious!]

Kooeng, who doesn’t know anything about picky eating, also ate deliciously.

Squeak?! Squeak?!

[Is this the bloodsucking leech?! Were they this delicious?!]

Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.

Black Bean and his subordinates were shocked by the deliciousness of the bloodsucking leeches.

Slurp.

Se-joon also ate the seaweed soup with rice deliciously.

>Title: The One Who Cooks Calamities>

If you use a calamity as an ingredient, the dish will have a special effect.

First Calamity Locust (stat increase)

Second Calamity Giant Bloodsucking Leech (recovers some of the damage as health when attacking an enemy)

Fifth Calamity Slime (reduces physical damage)

[Talent: Bizarre Food]

Stats increase when eating grotesque food. (The more grotesque the food, the more stats increase.)

He checked the title and talent given by the system.

“Oh.”

He didn’t think he would ever use Bizarre Food, but the title was really good.

If he doesn’t eat grotesque food, the talent is only an advantage.

Impeachment postponed.

Se-joon decided to postpone the system impeachment. Anyway, there was no way to impeach the system.

After eating a delicious breakfast,

“Kooeng, please make some coffee.”

Kooeng!

Se-joon asked Kooeng to make morning coffee.

However,

Kooeng?

Kooeng, who put his front paw in the bag of coffee beans to make coffee for Se-joon, was flustered.

“Kooeng, what’s wrong?”

Kooeng whimpered softly.

No coffee…

Papa likes the morning coffee Kooeng makes… I’m sad I can’t make Papa happy…

Kooeng looked crestfallen, showing a few coffee beans in his front paws.

“It’s alright. We can go down and get some,” Sejun said.

“Pfuhuhut. Are we going on a picnic?!” Theo asked.

At Sejun’s words, Theo immediately scurried off to pack his things.

Kooeng! Kooeng!

It’s a picnic! We have to eat snacks on picnics!

Keeheeheet. Kking!

Heehee! I need to pack my hidden dried sweet potatoes!

Kooeng and the Blackie family also busily began packing snacks.

And so, the journey to get coffee suddenly turned into a picnic.

“Sejun, let’s make rice balls,” Kooeng said.

Sejun also prepared for the picnic, making rice balls.

Just then,

You have gained experience as a farmer! You have acquired Harvesting skill proficiency from Ajax Mambru, the White Tower Top Farmer.

A message appeared.

Ajax harvested and sent job experience and skill proficiency to Sejun.

“Hehehe. Nice,” Sejun said.

As Sejun smiled, looking at the message,

You have gained experience as a farmer! You have acquired Sowing skill proficiency from Ophelia Iolg, the Green Tower Top Farmer.

You have gained experience as a farmer! You have acquired Harvesting skill proficiency from Cecilia, the Golden Tower Top Farmer.

Messages continued to appear as the other Tower Farmers began their work.

Kooeng!

Kking!

Meanwhile, Kooeng and the Blackie family, having finished their picnic preparations, urged Sejun from outside the kitchen.

“Alright, I’m coming out. Aileen, eat this,” Sejun said.

Sejun quickly sent a heart-shaped rice ball to Aileen, careful not to be seen by the others.

And then,

“Nyang?” Theo asked.

“Pfuhuhut. If the great Chairman Theo is doing it, it must be good, nyang! I should make the same shape and give it to Iona, nyang!” Theo exclaimed.

Theo, clinging to Sejun’s knee, began to knead his own fur with his paws, trying to make a heart shape.

A short while later.

Moving to the 94th floor of the Black Tower.

Sejun, having arrived at the waypoint, moved to the 94th floor of the tower, where the coffee farm was located.

However,

“Oh?! Hegel went up to the 99th floor with the coffee to give to Sejun a little while ago,” said one of the farmers.

“Really?” another farmer replied.

I could have just waited.

Their paths had crossed.

“Ninir, give me some coffee. I didn’t get any this morning,” Sejun requested.

“Yes! Just a moment,” Ninir replied.

At Sejun’s words, Ninir brewed some coffee and brought it over.

“Thank you,” Sejun said.

Sejun drank the coffee.

“Oh! This is really good?!” He exclaimed involuntarily at the taste of the coffee.

“Niheeheet. What you just drank is our finest coffee, Black Tower 94 Coffee,” Ninir said proudly.

“Huh?! Why is my name in the coffee variety?” Sejun asked.

“Because Sejun’s name means the best,” Ninir explained.

“Oh, come on. The best… I’m not that great…” Sejun feigned modesty.

Hehehe. My name means the best.

The corners of Sejun’s lips curved upward in a wide smile.

“Hehehe. Delicious,” Sejun said.

Perhaps it was thanks to the praise, but the coffee tasted even better. And there was the wonderful view from the mountain peak.

“Nyang nyang nyang. Chairman Park, stroke me more, nyang!” Theo purred.

“Alright,” Sejun responded.

While Sejun stroked Theo’s belly as he lay sprawled on his lap, enjoying his coffee,

Kooeng!

Kking!

Kooeng and the Blackie family roamed around Chikasan as if it were their own home, having a great time.

Just then,

Boom.

Kooeng?

What is this?

Kooeng, who was looking under a rock, wondering if there was anything there, discovered a seemingly bottomless hole beneath it.

Keeheeheet. Kking!

Heehee! It’s an adventure!

Plop.

Blackie fearlessly threw himself towards the hole.

However,

Kking?

Floating.

Kooeng! Kooeng!

No! Blackie is in danger!

He was caught by Kooeng’s telekinesis and floated in the air.

Adventures are for doing with Papa!

Kooeng took the Blackie family and ran to Sejun.

Black Tower, 90th floor.

“So, you’re saying someone broke into Dev’s warehouse a week ago?” Iona asked the giant hippopotamus with an angry voice.

I was going to go to Theo!

Just as Iona, finally free after completely handing over a task to Heukster, was about to go to Theo,

“Iona, we received a call from Dev on the 90th floor!” someone said.

Dev, a resident of the 90th floor who had been helped by the Gravity Magic Tower in the past, requested assistance.

Theo, sniffle.

Iona reluctantly went down to the 90th floor.

“Th-that’s right,” Noma, who worked as a butler at Dev’s mansion, answered Iona’s question with a terrified voice.

“Lead the way to the warehouse,” Iona commanded.

“Yes,” Noma replied.

Following Noma’s guidance, Iona moved to the warehouse where the theft had occurred.

“Power of mana, find the traces. Detect,” Iona chanted.

I need to deal with this quickly and go to Theo.

She began to use magic to find the traces left by the thief.

“I found it. There are traces of a magic circle that moved to the 94th floor,” Iona announced.

The 94th floor is close from here! Plus, I can feel Theo’s energy on the 94th floor!

Iona suddenly spoke in a voice that was not only relieved but also beaming.

“Then let’s leave right away! Teleport!” Iona exclaimed.

I’m going to catch the thief and see Theo!

She hurriedly used magic.

Floating.

“Oh. It’s deep here?” Sejun wondered.

Sejun, holding Kooeng who was using telekinesis, slowly descended into the hole, looking down.

Even after descending for about 10 minutes, the bottom was still not visible.

He was scared, but

“Pfuhuhut. Chairman Park, I feel a pull from below, nyang!” Theo exclaimed.

“Really?!” Sejun asked.

Encouraged by Theo’s words, he continued to descend into the hole.

Just then,

Wham!

“Ugh,” Sejun groaned.

A loud explosion from below, along with a strong updraft, engulfed Sejun and his party.

“Nyang?! I felt Iona’s energy from below, nyang!” Theo cried.

Iona is in danger, nyang!

Feeling Iona’s crisis, Theo hurriedly kicked off the wall, used his special quick move, Nyangbo, and disappeared into the darkness.
