Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 545

The fourth floor of the Golden Tower was bustling with activity. Stalls lined the open space, filled with goods, and creatures of all kinds hurried through, buying and selling. Theo arrived, slipping out of a merchant’s bag after exploring the Nine Towers. He announced loudly, “Puhuhoot! All-Family, I’ve arrived, nya!”

Elves from Sejun Company, selling Sejun’s crops to the customers known as the “All-Family,” saw Theo and rushed over to greet him. “Vice-Chairman Theo, welcome!” one elf said, smiling brightly. Their cheeks were round and healthy, a clear sign of how much better they were doing since joining Sejun Company.

“Vice-Chairman, the magic cherry tomatoes sold out again today!” another elf added happily.

“Puhuhoot. Well done, everyone, good work, nya!” Theo replied, pleased. “I want to see Chairman Park soon, nya.” He finished work early, as usual.

“Shall we go home too?” one elf asked another.

“Yes,” came the reply. Following Theo’s example, the Sejun Company employees also left work early.

99th floor of the Black Tower.

“Puhuhoot. Chairman Park, I’m back, nya!”

*Kkueng! Daddy, Kkueng is here!* Kkueng added, landing with a soft thump.

“Oh, welcome back!” Sejun greeted them warmly.

“Nya?!” Theo stopped suddenly, his nose twitching.

*Kkueng?!* Kkueng wrinkled his snout.

“Chairman Park’s breath smells… bad, nya!” Theo exclaimed, covering his nose.

*Does Daddy poop from his mouth too?!* Kkueng asked, confused and a little disgusted.

Sejun chuckled. “Poop? No way! Hehehe. Smell it again. Whoooo.” He blew air towards Theo and Kkueng playfully.

“Nya!” Theo quickly pulled on a small gas mask Iona had made for him and clung to Sejun’s leg.

*Hehehe. Kkueng doesn’t smell it anymore!* Kkueng giggled, putting on a nose plug and snuggling against Sejun’s side. They were used to Sejun’s strange smells and always carried protection.

“Ahem. Guys, it’s not poop smell. It’s this.” Sejun held up a yellow fruit with sharp thorns. “It’s a durian. I planted it a while ago and forgot about it. It got ripe, and it smells very strong. Some people say it smells like old cheese or worse! I was sharing it with Ggamangi.”

At that moment, *Kkihihit. Kking! Hehe. Butler! More durian!* Ggamangi hopped closer, eager for another piece.

“I would like some too, please,” another small rabbit, Kkilook, added politely.

*Shararang!* The smallest rabbit, Kking, nodded enthusiastically.

The Ggamangi family urged Sejun, as if the durian suited their tastes.

“Alright. Just a moment.” Sejun cut the durian into small pieces and gave one to each member of the Ggamangi family.

“Kkueng, do you want to try some?” He asked Kkueng, who was staring blankly at the durian.

*Kkueng? Is that really not poop?*

“Yeah. It’s delicious. Trust Daddy and try it.” As Sejun brought the durian to Kkueng’s mouth,

*Kkueng! Okay!* Kkueng closed his eyes tightly and took a bite of the durian.

Kkueng’s eyes widened. His pupils sparkled as if stars were exploding.

*Kkueng! Kkueng! It’s delicious! It’s soft and sweet!* Kkueng, having discovered the taste of durian, became excited.

*Kkihihit. Kking?! Hehe. Brother, is it good?! Peel one for me too!*

*Kkuhehehe. Kkueng! Okay!* Kkueng began peeling and eating durian with Ggamangi, who was wagging his tail enthusiastically in front of him.

‘Mother-in-law and Ace said they’re sleeping until dinner.’ Then lunch is durian…

Just as Sejun thought lunch was settled,

“Chairman Park, I’m hungry, nya!” He felt Theo’s gaze fixed on him.

“Alright.” Sejun grilled the fish until it was golden brown and gave it to Theo.

“Puhuhoot. As expected, Chairman Park’s grilled fish is the best, nya!” Theo praised it and ate it very deliciously.

How could he not do it when he ate so deliciously? Sejun stroked Theo’s head and ate durian.

A little later.

“Okay. Let’s brush our teeth now.”

*Kking! Kking! No! The great Ggamangi doesn’t need to brush his teeth!* Ggamangi ran away diligently at Sejun’s words.

However,

“Shadow Minion Summon.”

*Kking?!*

Sejun summoned three Shadow Minions to block Ggamangi’s path.

*Kking! Kking! Fake Butler! Let the great Ggamangi go!* Ggamangi was caught by the Shadow Minions and handed over to Sejun.

*Kking… It doesn’t taste good…* In the end, Ggamangi frowned and received his Chika Chika.

“Okay. Let’s work now.”

Just as Sejun, having finished brushing his teeth, was about to start the afternoon farming with his companions,

[Mr. Sejun…] Flame appeared, calling Sejun in a labored voice.

“Oh?! Flame?! Ah! Vice-Chairman Theo, absorb energy!”

“Understood, nya!” Sejun quickly had Theo absorb his energy. Flame was struggling because Sejun’s energy was too strong.

That’s right. Our Flame was also a sunfish. Sejun was infinitely generous to sunfish.

“Flame, are you okay?” He placed Flame on his palm and began sunfish care.

[Farmer’s Warm Touch Lv. 8 is activated.]

[Slightly heals the weakened apple tree Flame.]

First, he healed it with the Farmer’s Warm Touch.

“Become abundant!”

[Authority: Become Abundant! is applied to the apple tree Flame.]

[The apple tree Flame’s vitality is doubled.]

Then, I used my special power, ‘Authority: Flourish!’ This power gives life energy to plants, and life energy is very important for Flame, who is like a sunfish plant.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed from Sejun’s hand! Flame was startled.

Flame was surprised by Sejun’s sudden use of Authority.

She looked at Sejun with a worried expression.

“Feeling better now, Flame?” Sejun asked, trying to sound casual.

[Yes! Much better!] Flame replied with a bright smile.

Flame giggled. “Hehe. This seal is wonderful!”

Because of the magic seal from the Trial Statue, Sejun was safe even when he used his powerful Authority on her.

Flame felt relieved that she was completely sealed.

[Hehe. It’s warm here.]

Thanks to the Sunlight Aura from Sejun’s Growing Seed skill, Sejun’s palm was incredibly cozy.

I’m so happy…

Flame quietly relaxed, enjoying Sejun’s warm touch as he gently stroked her leaves.

This was a unique way for trees to rest since they couldn’t sleep.

Asleep? Sejun wondered, looking at Flame.

How can our Flame be so fragile…

He looked at her with pitiful eyes.

“Dad, don’t worry so much about Flame right now, meow,” Theo said.

Theo and Kkueng looked at Sejun with pity.

Squeak! [Butler! Hey, Butler! Play with me too!]

Except for Blackie.

Having seen Sejun act like that often, his pity had long since vanished.

Instead,

Squeak… [Butler, I’m also sick… ]

“Huh?! What’s wrong?”

Squeak… [My tummy hurts… ]

“Oh, you. You ate so much, little Bokchi! Come here.”

Hee hee. Silly butler.

He realized that teasing him was more fun.

“Blackie, follow me, meow!”

Kkueng!

[Blackie, I think we need a little chat after a long time, meow!]

Of course, only if he doesn’t get caught by his brothers.

Meanwhile, far away in the Temple of the Creator God…

Messages flashed on a stone tablet. They were filled with news of destruction.

[Moa’ke has been destroyed by the seventh disaster, the Planet-Destroying Turtle’s invasion.]

[Black Tower Farmer Park Sejun and his party have defeated the sixth Apostle of Destruction, the Sea-Swallowing Monster Kraken, and completely saved Hamke.]

[Gamo has been destroyed by the seventh disaster, the Planet-Destroying Turtle’s invasion.]

Amidst the messages filled with destruction, a single message of salvation was like a welcome rain.

“It’s peculiar,” the Creator God said.

With Sejun and his party’s strength, it should be absolutely impossible to defeat the Kraken…

The Creator God looked at the message with a puzzled expression.

Even if there were eight beings who possessed the souls of the Apostles of Destruction, they were merely souls of past Apostles of Destruction, their power was insignificant.

Moreover, Sejun’s paltry strength was not even worth mentioning.

Theo, Kkueng, Batbat, and Iona’s strength were considerable, but not enough to inflict significant damage on an Apostle of Destruction.

Nothing was certain, but Sejun and his party won in that situation as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

And not just once, but multiple times.

I don’t know why, but when those guys are together, the impossible becomes possible…

Something that even the Creator God, who sees through all providence, did not know was at play among them. Something strong and binding.

“Should I take a gamble?”

The Creator God began to contemplate with a serious expression.

Thanks to Sejun taming nine Apostles of Destruction, the speed of the invasion of destruction had slowed down considerably, but the world was already slowly sinking towards destruction like a ship filled with water.

At that moment,

Whirr.

The black crystal that Emila and Amur had their hands on turned white, and the waypoint connected to the Land of Destruction began to activate.

And then,

“Creator God, we’ll be back.”

“We will return.”

The two Apostles of Creation moved to the Land of Destruction through the waypoint.

1 hour later.

“Haa. Haa.”

“Huff. Huff.”

The two returned covered in blood, gasping for breath.

In a different place, at the Combat Store Headquarters…

The God of Hunting, Hunter, frowned. ‘Why isn’t my method to win Theo’s heart working?’ he thought.

The God of Hunting, Hunter, once again had his pride wounded.

There’s definitely something I don’t know.

He was diligently observing Theo to capture his heart.

And then,

“Huh?! Battler! Doesn’t Theo already have a butler who feeds him?”

He questioned Battler, watching Theo happily eating grilled fish from Sejun.

“Butler?! The one feeding him is the butler?”

“Haa. I clearly wrote in the first chapter of ‘1000 Ways to Perfectly Capture a Cat’s Heart’ that ‘If a cat has a butler who feeds him, it’s easier to just find another cat.’”

He opened his mouth with a hollow voice.

“Did you? I must have skipped over it since it was the first chapter. So, there’s no way?”

“Hmph. I am the God of Hunting, Hunter. There is no prey I cannot catch. I will descend myself and tame that cat named Theo.”

The God of Hunting, Hunter, who had spoken loudly to Battler, scouted around Theo’s surroundings.

“Good. That one will do.”

He dropped his divine artifact in front of the Black Minotaur plowing the land.

He was thinking of descending through the divine artifact.

Sending a divine artifact to a specific location like this requires a lot of divine power, so it’s not a commonly used method, but my pride is at stake!

Restoring his pride was more important.

And then,

Moo?

[What is this?]

Woo Cheonsam, who found an antique bow on the ground.

Moo!

[Sejun, there’s something here!]

He called Sejun, who was planting seeds nearby.

After being caught by Theo as a thief in the past, Woo Cheonsam no longer picked up anything that fell on the ground without first confirming with Sejun.

“Really?”

Sejun approached at Woo Cheonsam’s call.

“Oh?! It’s a bow?”

Why is something like this here?

Clasp.

As Sejun grabbed the bow,

Hunter cursed under his breath. ‘No! I wanted to appear as a strong hunter, but this is all wrong!’

The God of Hunting, Hunter, had no choice but to descend into Sejun’s body.

However,

“Huh?! Where am I?”

Whether he had descended incorrectly, the surroundings were a forest.

And then,

[What do you think you’re doing?!]

A gigantic tree, so tall that it couldn’t be captured in one glance, stood in the center of the forest and showed hostility towards Hunter.

“Don’t disturb my vacation!”

Crack!

Roots large enough to cover the sky began to engulf Hunter.

“Huh?! Flame, are you uncomfortable somewhere?”

Sejun asked with worried eyes, seeing Flame frowning.

[Hehe. No, I’m just a little stiff. I need to move around a bit now!]

Flame stretched and subtly detached the leaf she had placed on the bow.
