Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 532

Sejun went to the Wandering Merchant Association office, in the President’s Office. He was there to see Mason. Sejun had come to collect a reward for catching the pickpocket, Swaeng Swaeng.

“Here are the land deeds I’ve collected so far,” Sejun said.

“Thank you,” Mason replied.

Sejun received three land deeds from Mason.

[Land Deed for the 72nd Floor of the Black Tower]

[Land Deed for the 89th Floor of the Black Tower]

[Land Deed for the 55th Floor of the White Tower]

“Sejun, since you’re here, why don’t you have a cup of tea before you go?” Mason offered.

“No, thank you. If I’m away from them for too long, Kkueng and Blackie get anxious,” Sejun said, worried about his pets at the stall, and quickly got up to leave.

As Sejun walked back to the street stall, he could already hear happy sounds.

“Kkuhehehe. Kkueng!”

“Kkihihit. Kking! Kking!”

Sejun frowned. What were they up to now? He saw Kkueng and Blackie at a food stall, their tails wagging excitedly. The stall was filled with colorful snacks – sweet rice cakes, crispy fried treats, and skewers of grilled meat. The air smelled delicious. They were definitely enjoying themselves, not worried at all!

But then Sejun saw what was really happening. Kkueng was barking at the stall owner, wanting a discount. “Kkueng!” he barked loudly. Blackie joined in, barking even louder and lying down on the floor. He seemed to be saying, “We won’t move until you give a discount! Listen to Kkueng if you want to sell anything!” People around the stall were watching, some laughing, some looking annoyed. Kkueng and Blackie were causing quite a scene! The stall owners were starting to look unhappy with these two little troublemakers.

Just then, Sejun called out, “Hey, guys, let’s go!” Luckily for them, Sejun arrived just in time to stop their mischief before they got into real trouble.

“Kkueng!”

“Kking!”

At Sejun’s call, Kkueng and Blackie quickly ran to him.

“Let’s eat out tonight,” Sejun suggested, not wanting to cook dinner.

“Kkueng!”

“Kking!”

Kkueng and Blackie immediately liked the idea of eating something new, but Theo protested.

“No way! I want the grilled fish that CEO Park makes, meow!” Theo said, a fan of home-cooked meals.

“Theo, you can have the Churu I make. Is that okay?” Sejun asked.

Theo sighed in relief. “Phew! Okay, meow! Your Churu is so good, CEO Park!”

“Alright. Let’s go,” Sejun said.

Sejun and his companions ate dinner and dessert, arriving at the 99th floor of the tower late in the evening.

“The Blue Moon will be up soon,” he said, preparing to welcome it.

Sejun took out the Moon Fruit seeds and blueberries, spreading them out so they could absorb the Blue Moon’s energy well.

“Glug, glug.”

“Puhuhoot.”

“Kkuhehehe.”

He sipped the coffee brewed by barista Kku, stroking Theo and Kkueng, who were clinging to his lap and side, as he waited for the Blue Moon to rise.

“Kkirorong.”

“Eomrorong.”

“Kkirurung.”

“···”

The Blackie family, tired from playing outside all day, had already fallen asleep.

Suddenly, a Blue Moon rose in the dark sky. It wasn’t white or yellow, but a soft, glowing blue. The blue light washed over everything, turning the tower and the plants into a magical blue world.

“Kkeaack!”

The mushroom ants scattered and took their positions to harvest the crops imbued with the Blue Moon’s energy.

Sejun started to think about random things. ‘Do mushroom ants pray to a mushroom god? Or maybe an ant god?’ he wondered.

“Moving the earth,” Sejun said.

Sejun, feeling grateful and a little bored of waiting, created monuments for the gods representing those who had helped him.

[Monument to the Great Green Onion God]

[Monument to the Mushroom God]

[Monument to the Ant God]

[Monument to the Cherry Tomato God]

He made a lot of them.

Sejun, setting up the monuments one by one, thought to himself, ‘There must be a dragon god, right?’

[Monument to the Dragon God]

He also set up a monument for the dragon god Mirna.

Although it was the dragon god Mirna who sold the dragon fruit, Sejun still didn’t know there was a dragon god because the description of the dragon fruit didn’t contain any information about Mirna.

As Sejun set up about 30 monuments,

“Kkeaack!”

The mushroom ant, tasked with watching over the Moon Fruit seeds, called Sejun.

The Moon Fruit seeds were glowing with a soft blue light. They seemed to pulse with energy, almost vibrating in Sejun’s hand, eager to grow.

“Thump.”

Sejun quickly ran over and picked up the seeds.

[Moon Fruit Seeds Fully Imbued with Blue Moonlight]

??? You must harvest to check the options.

The Moon Fruit has awakened the power of moonlight, fully absorbing the Blue Moon’s energy.

The seeds have an immense desire to grow.

Please plant them quickly before their desire wanes!

The description of the seeds had changed.

“Alright. Just wait a little, I’ll plant you soon,” Sejun said.

“Clang.”

Sejun quickly opened the subspace warehouse.

“Plop.”

[You are the Field Lv. 9 is activated.]

[You have planted the Moon Fruit seeds, fully imbued with blue moonlight, in the body of Alice, the Apostle of Destruction and the ninth seat, the Enticing Spider.]

He planted the Moon Fruit in Alice, the Enticing Spider. Alice was like a living plant, full of energy.

“Pooduduk.”

As full of the desire to grow, the Moon Fruit quickly grew, sucking up Alice’s vitality, and a gourd was produced.

And there it was – a gourd, round and smooth like a ball, glowing with a warm, golden color. It was small, about the size of a watermelon, and it looked like it was made of pure gold.

‘Is that all?’ Sejun thought for a moment.

It was too small to be called a moon. He knew there was something else inside the gourd, but he couldn’t help but feel disappointed.

Moon Fruit, I’m sorry for being disappointed.

Sejun quickly apologized to the Moon Fruit in his mind. He didn’t think he had the right to be disappointed with the results of the Moon Fruit’s hard work.

Moon Pu-rut, who made the harvest, was the only one who could be sad about it.

“Wow! It’s a perfect moon! Really pretty!”

Sejun felt a little bad for ‘harvesting’ Moon Pu-rut, so he quickly said, ‘Wow! It’s a perfect moon! Really pretty!’ He meant it completely.

As Moon Pu-rut’s harvest reached its peak, a wave of brilliant golden light burst out. It was so bright, it turned the dark surroundings into a shimmering gold forest for a moment.

Plop.

He harvested the moon-filled fruit.

[You have harvested Moon Pu-rut.]

[Your job experience has slightly increased.]

[Your Harvesting skill is getting a little better.]

[You have gained 100 experience points.]

Along with the harvest messages,

Crack!

Suddenly, with a *Crack!*, the gourd split open. Bright golden energy rushed out and climbed into the dark sky like a fountain of light.

The golden energy grew bigger and bigger as it went up. It quietly settled at the edge of the night sky, making the moon whole.

[You have achieved the great feat of floating the moon in the Black Tower’s night sky.]

[As a reward for the great feat, you have acquired the title: The One Who Floated the Moon.]

[Because you have the title ‘The One Who Floated the Moon’, magic power increases by 20% while moonlight is present.]

[Because you have the title ‘The One Who Commands Gods’, your God Power goes up by 1 for every god you control.]

[As a reward for the great feat, the cost of staying on the 0th floor of the Black Tower will decrease by 0.1% from now on.]

Following messages appeared.

At that moment,

[You have 2 titles similar to the title: The One Who Floated the Moon.]

The title: The One Who Peered into the Beginning is activated, merging the titles: The One Who Reclaimed the Night and The One Who Lit the Stars with the title: The One Who Floated the Moon to create one title.

Title: The One Who Completed the Night Sky

-All stats increase by 25% during the night. (Maximum stat increase of 1 million)

-God Power increases by 1 each time you light a star in the night sky.

-Receive the blessing of the Blue Moon each time a Blue Moon rises.

“Oh. That’s good?”

Heh heh heh. The name is cool too.

Sejun smiled happily after checking the title.

And then,

[An Ambiguous Dragon has built a temple for you.]

[God Power increases by 300.]

“Ehehehe.”

Meanwhile, far away in the Seed Shop headquarters…

There was a god who was also wearing a very happy smile.

“A dragon follows me?!”

The words attached to the front were a bit annoying, but an ambiguous dragon was still a dragon.

“It’s okay! This big sister will definitely raise you properly!”

The Dragon God Mirna smiled brightly and began to create divine artifacts to gift to Sejun, the ambiguous dragon who followed her as the Dragon God.

Black Tower, 99th floor.

Morning of the 489th day, a week after the Blue Moon.

Today was the day of the 3rd Dragon Council, and Sejun was very busy from the morning preparing the last of the food.

“Good! Kkueng-ah, move the chocolate over here!”

Kkueng!

At Sejun’s words, Kkueng carefully placed a giant chocolate resembling the Black Tower in the center of the whipped cream cake.

The whipped cream cake was HUGE! It was as wide as a small car (10 meters across) and as tall as a house (5 meters high)!

The air filled with the sweet smell of cream and fresh fruit. The whipped cream looked like fluffy white clouds, piled high and decorated with colorful fruits that sparkled like jewels.

On top of it were dozens of Great Black Dragon chocolates made of chocolate and secured with Kkomi’s invisible spiderwebs.

The dynamic appearance of the black dragons flying around the Black Tower and guarding the tower looked very valiant.

Kaiser had come in the morning to check and asked Sejun to make as many Great Black Dragon chocolates as there were Great Black Dragons after seeing them, but

Kaiser wanted hundreds of dragon chocolates! Sejun laughed and threw his hands up. ‘Hundreds?! Kaiser, you’re joking! You should have asked me days ago! Now? No way!’

“Good. Now let’s put the fruit on. Vice-Chairman Tae, you cut all the fruit, right?”

“Puhuhut. That’s right, meow! I did everything the great Hybrid Park Chairman ordered, meow!”

“Okay. Good job. Kkueng-ah, put it on.”

Kkueng!

When Kkueng was putting the fruit on with telekinesis,

Squeak?

Kkamangi, who was holding the fruit in his mouth, also hung on and came up with it.

“Kkamangi!, what are you doing there?!”

Hee hee hee. Squeak!

[Hee hee. Run away!]

At Sejun’s shout, Kkamangi hurriedly ran away.

“Ugh, that Kkamangi! Always causing trouble!”

While Sejun was busy putting the final touches on the whipped cream cake,

“Kelion-nim, welcome.”

“Welcome to the Black Dragon’s territory.”

The dragons gathered one by one in the Black Dragon’s territory, and Anton and the other black dragons were busy welcoming the guests.

And then,

“Welcome!”

“Try this. It’s a snack made by our Sejun, and it’s delicious!”

Aileen also opened a portal and diligently greeted other dragon guests in the Black Tower administrator area as a member of the Great Black Dragon clan.

At that moment,

“Kahaha. Great dragons! Welcome to our Black Tower! Now, let’s begin the 3rd Dragon Council!”

Kaiser declared the start of the council to the dragon race.

And then,

“The leeks sold in the Black Tower are very effective. I think it would be good to use them in other towers as well!”

“That’s right. Since we distributed the leeks and grapes, the speed at which the world is being destroyed has noticeably slowed down!”

One red dragon boomed, ‘The leeks stopped the fire monsters from spreading so fast in my tower!’ Another blue dragon added, ‘And the grapes! They gave my water spirits the energy to heal the cracks in the world!’

‘That’s right. That’s right. Our Sejun’s crops are the best.’

Nod. Nod.

Kaiser listened to the other dragons’ stories with a satisfied smile, arms crossed, and nodded diligently.

A moment later.

“Then let’s end this meeting here.”

As Kaiser declared the end of the meeting, all the dragons suddenly sparkled their eyes.

They were waiting for the food that would come out soon.

“Kahaha. Everyone must be hungry, so let’s eat quickly.”

With Kaiser’s words, the food appeared in the center.

Nine types of infused liquor made to match the attributes of the nine dragon races.

Spicy braised chicken cooked with disaster, seaweed soup, spicy squid stew, steamed king crab and lobster, and pork ribs.

There were many dishes, but

“Wow!”

“What is that?!”

“It’s so beautiful!”

The most prominent of them was the whipped cream cake placed in the center.

The dragons admired the beautiful whipped cream cake decorated with chocolate pieces and fruit.

The dragons’ gazes naturally went from the outside to the inside of the cake, from the bottom to the top,

And they admired the dynamic Great Black Dragon and the majestic Black Tower on the snow-white whipped cream.

And the dragons’ gazes stopped at the beautiful and elegant black dragon standing proudly on the top of the Black Tower.

The long silence without a single exclamation told how moved the dragons were.

That is···

Of course, the most moved was Aileen.

Aileen’s eyes went wide. She gasped, her black scales shimmering in the light. She reached out a claw very gently to touch the chocolate dragon that looked just like her. A real smile, not just a polite one, spread across her face.

Sejun thought that expressing his feelings with just a chocolate piece was not enough, so

[To the most beautiful dragon in the world, Aileen – From Sejun with love♥]

He did not forget to add words full of his heart next to the piece.

Black Tower, 99th floor.

“Hey, Boss! About the heart… maybe it was a *little* too much, you know? Meow?”

“Is that so? Ugh. Should I have left out the heart after all?”

Sejun, having heard Theo’s advice, belatedly regretted it and twisted his body from the cringe.
