Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 524

Sejun stretched and yawned on the 99th floor of the Black Tower.

“From today, we are forming the Hybrid Alliance to protect the Hybrids,” Sejun announced, creating an organization to stand against the dragons who make fun of them.

He would call it the ‘Hybrid Alliance,’ but they would use a shorter name: the ‘Hayeon Association.’ His voice was very solemn.

Theo puffed out his chest, his dragon claws gleaming. “Hoo-hoot! Good news! Since President Park, the amazing Hybrid President, is leading the Hayeon Association, then I, Theo, the Hybrid Vice President, will be his right-hand cat! Of course, I’m the Vice President of the Hayeon Association too!”

Baetbaet, with dragon claws, also laughed and spoke in a voice still thick with sleep, “Baehehe. I’m also a hybrid…”

Kkamangi, with dragon teeth, wagged his tail and barked excitedly. “[Heeheet. Butler! Me too! Me too!] Keeheeheet. Kking! Kking!”

“I also put dragon bones in my body, so I’m a hybrid!”

“Kkilook!”

Following Kkamangi, the leader, Kkamangi’s subordinates also proved that they were hybrids, having long since strengthened their bodies using dragon teeth, scales, and skins from the subspace warehouse.

Everyone agreed to join the Hayeon Association.

Kkuengi looked down, his ears drooping. “[Kkuengi is not a hybrid…] Kkueng…”

Yuren and Bbyot, who were purebloods like Kkuengi, had left to find Miss Fortune’s other divine power as soon as they finished breakfast.

Kkuengi looked very sad. Sejun, as the president, quickly thought of a way to make Kkuengi feel better.

“Kkuengi, it’s okay. You’re an honorary member of our Hayeon Association.”

“[Then Kkuengi is now in the same Hybrid Alliance as Daddy?!] Kkueng!?”

“That’s right.”

“[Hehehehe. So exciting!] Kkueng! Kkuhehehe.” Kkuengi’s expression brightened at Sejun’s words.

“Alright. Then let’s rest now, Hayeon Association!” Sejun shouted to his party.

Slurp.

He drank the coffee that Kkuengi had made. Morning coffee was important, after all.

“Phoo-hoo-hoot.”

Kkuhehehe.

Keeheeheet.

The party settled around Sejun and began to rest together. They had created the Hayeon Association, but nothing had changed. That was only to be expected.

Slurp.

I wonder if I can raise my stats again now?

Sejun checked his stats while drinking coffee. Thanks to , all stat potentials had increased by 3000, so there should be plenty of potential now.

Stats: Strength (8498/11113) Health (9372/9982) Agility (7697/8633) Magic (10177/10177) Spirit (1934/3000) Divinity (35.7124/100)

As Sejun had expected, he could raise his stats as his potential increased, except for magic.

“Wow. My stats are really high.”

Total stats: 35,744.

Sejun’s chest swelled as he looked at his stats.

“Hehehe. At this rate, aren’t I the strongest among the top farmers after Ophelia and Ajax?”

The total stats of the other top farmers, calculated when he borrowed stats before, were about 25,000. Now Sejun’s were higher.

“Veronica, summon.”

Veronica will be amazed by how strong I’ve become, right?

So Sejun summoned Veronica, freely emitting his energy. After about 30 seconds,

[Summoning Veronica, honorary employee of the Purple Tower.]

Veronica, with a body of 3m and snow-white skin full of muscles, appeared.

“Sejun-nim, did you call?” Veronica looked at Sejun and asked, not at all intimidated, contrary to Sejun’s expectations.

Gooooooo.

“Huh?! Uh…” On the contrary, Sejun was overwhelmed by Veronica’s energy.

Veronica’s total stats were around 50,000. Veronica had also grown while Sejun was growing, even more than Sejun.

“Veronica, return.” Sejun sent Veronica back, disheartened.

“Zelga, summon.”

“Kwin, summon.”

“Udonmon, summon.”

He summoned all the other top farmers, hoping that there would be a top farmer weaker than him, but there was no top farmer weaker than Sejun.

“Why are their stats all higher than mine?!” Sejun was upset.

The last person he called, Oric, laughed in a mean way, which annoyed Sejun.

“Kelkekel. Sejun-nim has no talent.”

“What?! You too, go back!”

But it was also true. The other top farmers each had a talent such as ‘efficient intake,’ ‘complete digestion,’ or ‘drug effect’ that increased the effect of the items they ate.

Sejun spent the entire morning confirming that he was the weakest top farmer.

“I’m feeling down today, so it’s meat time!” He filled his belly with meat for lunch.

Clang.

He entered the subspace warehouse, planted seeds of the Doom Pioneers and Doom Devourers, and harvested the crops planted in Alice’s body. While harvesting,

[Harvested Blazing Cherries.]

[You Are a Field Lv. 8 is activated, dealing additional damage.]

[You Are a Field Lv. 8 is activated, harvesting the stats of the Doom Apostle 9 Seat, Seducing Spider Alice.]

[Strength 20, Health 20, Agility 25, Magic 30 have increased.]

[The potential of the Magic stat has reached its limit.]

[You can no longer absorb Magic stats.]

[The acquired Magic stats are returned to nature.]

The magic stats he couldn’t keep went back into nature, but Sejun felt more determined because he was still getting stronger.

“Good!”

I’ll get stronger!

Sejun, who had completely shaken off his gloom thanks to the meat, worked enthusiastically.

[You Are a Field Lv. 8’s proficiency is filled, and the level increases.]

He raised the You Are a Field skill to level 9. Thanks to this, the amount of stats acquired when stat harvesting was activated increased to a maximum of 150.

While Sejun was working hard in the subspace warehouse,

“[Hehehehe. It would be good to feed this to Daddy!] Kkueng! Kkuhehehe.” Kkuengi went to the herb field and dug up herbs to feed Sejun.

Theo puffed out his chest. “Hoo-hoot! This body is the right-hand man of the great Hybrid President Park and the deadly dragon claw hybrid golden cat Theo Park, a merchant of the Black Tower! Come and see the goods!”

Theo started a new business on the 4th floor of the Golden Tower as the exit for the wandering merchants of the Nine Towers changed.

Usually, when Theo starts selling things, it takes a while for people to notice.

“Oh! Sturdy Leek Blade!”

“What is this smell?! Fragrant grapes full of life?!”

This time, it wasn’t so. The hunters of already knew about Sejun’s crops because the great Golden Dragon Artemis gave the leeks, grapes, and other crops she bought from Aileen to the hunters of the Golden Tower.

“Then I’ll start the auction!” Theo said.

Thanks to this, Theo immediately sold Sejun’s crops at auction.

“Sold out!”

And was able to leave work early.

“President Park, I’m back!” Theo said.

“Yeah. Good job.” Sejun replied.

He stuck to Sejun’s lap, who was making Samyangju with Gabby and 1-Gang golden rice, and finished the day.

Ten days passed quickly without any special events.

Day 477, morning.

“Eucha.” Sejun woke up energetically as usual today.

[All stat potentials have increased by 30 due to the effect of .]

He checked the message.

“Nyaang…”

Kking…

He took care of Theo and Kkamangi, went outside, walked around the farm, raised his potential, and ate breakfast.

“Shall we start working now?!” Just as he was about to start his morning work,

[, managed by the Blue Tower, is being destroyed by disaster.]

[Providing the middle manager of the Black Tower with the last chance to save .]

[Middle Manager Quest is generated.]

[Middle Manager Quest: Go to and protect the remaining 5 Blue Towers while defeating the disaster.]

Reward: Peace in , All Stats +100, 10 billion Tower Coins

Failure: Automatically return to the Black Tower.

[Would you like to accept the quest?]

A message asking for a choice appeared in front of Sejun. The disaster that invaded , managed by the Blue Tower, was driving to the brink of destruction.

“Huh?”

You’re telling me to go and fight in a place managed by the Blue Tower?!

Sejun was flustered as he looked at the message. It was the first time he had received such a message, and no one had ever received such a message before.

The last chance to save a dying world was only given to towers that had grown into great towers. Usually, the dragons, who are the managers of the tower, get a chance to descend into the dying world for about an hour when only one tower remains.

But their descent was not to save the world. It was the last resort to reduce the power of destruction. And the dragons descended without any burden because it was already a ruined world, and they defeated the disasters and returned during the allowed time.

“I’ll accept it.” Sejun, who had been contemplating for a while, accepted the quest.

It wasn’t a grand intention to save the world. He could safely return even if he failed, so he just wanted to help the residents of even a little.

As soon as Sejun accepted the quest,

[Moving to in 30 seconds.]

[You can take your subordinates with you.]

[Please specify the subordinates to go with you.]

“Guys, go into the subspace warehouse!”

“Al겠다nyaang!”

Kkueng!

Kking!

Sejun hurriedly opened the subspace warehouse and had his party enter. He was worried that his magic might not be enough to take them all, and it was a very wise choice.

The only ones he could take with Sejun’s magic were the easy-going mushroom ants and poisonous honeybees. Not only the other top farmers but also the family on the 99th floor of the tower were growing by eating Sejun’s crops.

That was why Sejun continued to be a sunfish.

After 30 seconds passed,

[Automatically designates subordinates within the limit of available magic.]

[Moving to .]

Sejun disappeared from the 99th floor of the Black Tower with 700 mushroom ants and 100 poisonous honeybees.

Battle Shop Headquarters.

“It’s boring because there’s no activity from Park Sejun these days.” The God of Valor, Beb, was bored waiting for a message from Sejun, who hadn’t been acting valiantly lately.

Beb wanted to talk to Sejun, but he knew Sejun might ignore him if he bothered him too much, so Beb had to wait patiently.

At that time,

“Kkuengi! You’re a warri—Ack! I’ve been blocked again!” The scream of the God of Storms, Thunder, who had been forcing Kkuengi to take the path of a warrior without giving up from afar and had been blocked for the 35th time, was heard.

“Hehehe.”

I’m still better than him.

Beb laughed as he looked at Thunder. A moment later.

“Beb-nim, hello.” Thunder found Beb and greeted him.

“Are you still trying to get Kkuengi to be a warrior?” Beb asked.

“Yes. That Kkuengi, he blocks me as soon as I mention the ‘warrior’ part.” Thunder replied.

“You have to get close first and then subtly bring up the topic. Then it sometimes works.” Beb suggested.

“Really?!” Thunder asked.

“Yeah.” Beb was teaching Thunder how to entice a favorite being into the path of a warrior.

“Thunder, have you seen Battler recently? Or heard anything?” He asked Thunder about the recent whereabouts of the God of Battle, Battler.

“No. Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I saw Battler-nim. I heard he hasn’t been coming out of his house these days.” Thunder answered.

“Really?”

Battler isn’t the type to stay at home…

Beb felt something was strange.

“Let’s go to Battler’s house.”

“Yes.” He took Thunder and went to Battler’s house.

Knock! Knock!

“Battler, are you there?!” When he knocked hard on Battler’s door,

“What?” Battler, a huge figure, opened the door with hollow eyes.

In Battler’s hand was a very thick book titled [1000 Ways to Perfectly Capture a Cat’s Heart].

The God of Battle, Battler, had not yet given up.
