Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 546

[How dare you! How dare you!]

Thud!

A voice roared, “Hey! You there! Speak with words, Creator Candidate!”

Hunt, the God of Hunting, finally blinked and saw who it was – Sparky! Hunt opened his mouth to explain, but before he could say a word –

*WHAM!* *WHAM!* *WHAM!*

Sparky, eyes flashing with green fire, was hitting Hunt hard. He wouldn’t stop until his fury cooled down from being woken up during his precious vacation.

“I was wrong about everything!”

Only after Hunt knelt down did Sparky stop his angry hitting.

And then,

[Theo, dear brother]

He called Theo, who was carefully licking his fur on Sejun’s lap.

“Nya? Why are you calling me?”

[Give me that paw.]

“Nya?”

When Theo offered his paw to Sparky,

Plop.

Time to switch.

Sparky touched Theo’s paw with his leaf.

“Where am I now?!”

Hunt looked around, confused by the suddenly changed place.

At that moment,

“Hee hee hee! Welcome, nya! Ultra-Huge Chairman Park, please catch that guy, nya!”

Rumble.

Theo, holding onto Ultra-Huge Chairman Park’s knee, smiled wickedly at Hunt.

Sparky had moved Hunt to Theo’s mental world where Ultra-Huge Chairman Park lived. It was a strange place, like a funny dream inside Theo’s mind.

A moment later.

“Ugh!”

“Ultra-Huge Chairman Park, hold on tight, nya! Don’t let go, nya!”

After Theo grabbed Hunt, he left the mental world.

And then,

“Hee hee hee. Blackie, put your stamp here, nya! I’ll give you dried sweet potato in return, nya!”

He handed Blackie a permanent employee contract and had him stamp it with his paw print next to his paw print stamped in a hurry.

This was to make a contract with a god more easily.

Squeak?!

[Dried sweet potato?!]

Stomp.

Blackie stamped his paw right away when he heard about dried sweet potato.

Hee hee hee! Squeak! Squeak!

[Hee hee. Brother, I stamped it! Give me the dried sweet potato quickly!]

He wagged his tail and barked eagerly in front of Theo.

Blackie didn’t seem to know that something bad could happen if he stamped anywhere.

Because there had never been anyone big enough to trick Blackie until now.

Of course, there was a good chance that there wouldn’t be in the future either.

Even if there was, with Blackie’s power, he could end the contract, so it seemed like nothing bad would happen even if he stamped without thinking.

Besides, now he had scary brothers too…

Anyway.

“Hee hee hee. Here it is, nya!”

Hee hee.

Blackie received the dried sweet potato from Theo,

Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.

And began to eat happily.

“Hee hee hee.”

Theo took the contract stamped with Blackie’s paw print and returned to his mental world.

“You’re going to stamp here, nya!”

“No!”

Theo went between Hunt’s hands, who was caught by Ultra-Huge Chairman Park and unable to move.

Stomp.

And received Hunt’s thumbprint on the contract.

So, after Battler, Hunt from the gods became the second permanent full-time worker of Sejun Company.

Hunt, the God of Hunting, who came to tame Theo, instead became Theo’s helper.

I can’t be the only one!

“Theo, sir, actually, Battler, the God of Combat, ordered all of this! Let’s call Battler and have him stamp it too! I’ll help!”

“Nya?! Battler already stamped it, nya!”

“What?! I’m not the first?!”

“That’s right, nya!”

Damn it! I’m so upset!

Hunt felt upset at Theo’s words.

He didn’t know if it was because Battler didn’t tell him that he had been stamped by Theo, or because he was stamped later than Battler, but

Battler!

Hunt, the God of Hunting, felt angry and planned revenge on Battler.

And then,

“Theo, sir, actually, Battler…”

He told Theo everything Battler was trying to do.

Sejun didn’t know that the second worker from the gods had joined Sejun Company.

[The Bow of the Tenacious Hunter]

A divine item made by Hunt, the God of Hunting, using the bones and muscles of the animals he hunted, filled with divine power.

The arrow flies towards the target even if you don’t aim well. (The more magic power you use, the more accurately it flies towards the target.)

Usage Restriction: None

Creator: Hunt, the God of Hunting

Grade: SSS

Skill: [Homing Wind Arrow (master)]

[Homing Wind Arrow (master)]

Shoots a wind arrow that chases the enemy to the end three times a day.

Sejun checked the details of the bow he had picked up.

“But why is a divine item lying on the floor?”

The sudden appearance of a divine item.

Heh heh heh. Finders keepers.

Sejun didn’t care about the reason and

“I should give this to Kyung-chul.”

He decided to give the divine item of Hunt, the God of Hunting, to his classmate Oh Kyung-chul.

Hunt removed the usage rules of the divine item so that anyone could use it, so Kyung-chul was able to use a good bow.

Clang.

Sejun put the bow in his subspace warehouse and

Plop.

[Planted a golden rice seed (+2) in magic-filled soil]

…

..

. He planted rice in the paddy field again.

He used a drop of enhancement liquid made by Hamer, the God of Farming, on the rice seed a while ago to create a +2 enhanced golden rice seed.

And now, the total stats that increase each time the ‘Rice is Medicine’ effect is used have increased from 150 to 200.

Sejun was suddenly working so hard on rice farming because the dragons had ordered a huge amount of attribute liquor.

What was strange was that they not only ordered attribute liquor that matched their own attributes but also ordered a lot of attribute liquor that was the opposite of their attributes.

At first, they ate it because it was delicious…

They realized in the dragons’ meeting, after returning to their tower, that the opposite attribute liquor canceled out their energy and balanced their tower. This made them stronger.

Because of that, the attribute liquor Sejun had made before was all bought by the dragons and had been out of stock for a long time.

Also, when the dragons learned about the effects of the attribute liquor, it was the time when Sejun left the tower for a few days to go to Hamkke, so the dragons’ orders piled up a lot.

So, he quickly had the Black Minotaurs make paddy fields, and Sejun was planting rice. The paddy fields were muddy, and the sun was setting.

The rice planting continued until evening, and as the sun began to set,

“Kkuengi, Blackie, let’s eat dinner!”

Sejun called Kkuengi and Blackie, who were helping him plant rice. Blackie was helping just by not causing problems.

Theo was holding onto Sejun’s lap and planting rice, so there was no need to call him. Sparky, who had been sunbathing all day on Sejun’s straw hat, too.

On the way to the kitchen to finish the day,

“Sparky, are you okay?”

[Yes! I feel energized because I was with Sejun!]

Stress relief, too!”

Sparky stretched and answered Sejun’s question.

A moment later,

“Park, we’re here.”

“Brother-in-law, Ace is here!”

Elizabeth and Ace entered the kitchen where Sejun was cooking.

“Ah! Just a moment! Vice Chairman Theo, energy absorption.”

“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!” Theo the cat said quickly. Sejun had told him to absorb the energy, and Theo understood.

Sejun quickly asked Theo to take the energy from Elizabeth and Ace. He wanted to make sure Bulkkochi was strong and happy.

[Hehet. Thank you, Sejun.]

Bulkkochi, who received Sejun’s sunfish care, was very happy. It was nice to be by Sejun’s side and receive attention.

Just then,

“Hello, Bulkkoci. I’m Elizabeth Britannia, a black dragon.”

Elizabeth, who had heard about Bulkkoci’s true nature from Kaiser and Anton, introduced herself first.

However, even the dragons thought Bulkkoci was special, like a powerful spirit of nature. But he was even more special than that, a being of creation itself.

[Hello! I’m Bulkkoci Park!]

Bulkkoci bowed politely. Elizabeth was Sejun’s mother-in-law. There were plenty of reasons to make a good impression.

Then,

“Hi, Bulkkoci,” Ace mumbled, peeking from behind his mother. “I’m Ace Britannia. My brother-in-law named me!”

He seemed awkward meeting Bulkkoci for the first time.

He didn’t forget to brag, though.

With the introductions over, dinner time began, and

“This food is amazing, brother-in-law!” Ace exclaimed, his mouth full of roasted vegetables. “Your cooking is the best! I wish I could live with you forever!”

Ace’s happy words were quickly stopped by a loud voice in Sejun’s mind.

[The Tower’s administrator says absolutely not!] Elizabeth’s voice boomed in Sejun’s head. [The Tower’s administrator says Sejun has to live with *her*!]

“Waaah!” Ace burst into tears. Big dragon tears rolled down his face. “I want to live with brother-in-law too!” He stamped his foot on the wooden porch.

“It’s okay, Ace,” Sejun said gently, kneeling down. “You can live next door. How about that? We can see each other every day.”

“Really?” Ace sniffled, wiping his eyes with the back of his hand. “Next door?”

“Yes,” Sejun promised. “So don’t cry anymore.”

“Okay…” Ace said, his voice still shaky. “Sniffle. Thank you, brother-in-law.”

After the pleasant dinner, which included a small incident, Elizabeth and Ace went back to sleep.

Elizabeth needed sleep to recover, and Ace needed it to grow.

And then,

“Ah. Good.”

Slurp.

Sejun sat on the porch, drinking the coffee that Kkuengyi had made, and admired the night sky. The night sky was full of stars, like tiny diamonds scattered on black velvet. The moon was a silver coin, hanging low in the sky.

“Puhuhut.”

[Hehet.]

Kkuhehehe.

Kkihit.

The gang also took their places on Sejun’s lap, side, sling bag, and palm, enjoying the night sky together.

“Hum hum hum.”

The beautiful night sky, delicious coffee, the slightly chilly air brushing his nose, and the good smells of his companions made Sejun hum involuntarily.

And then,

“Meow meow meow.”

[Heung~ Heung~ Heung~]

Kkueng~ Kkueng~

Kking! Kking! Kking!

Everyone followed Sejun and sang merrily.

At that moment,

Kkeaak!

The representative of the mushroom ants approached, antennae twitching, as if dissatisfied with something.

“Huh? Why are you out here instead of sleeping?” Sejun asked.

Kkeaak!

[It’s too noisy to sleep!]

The mushroom ant explained why it had come.

Sejun and his companions had inadvertently disturbed the mushroom ants’ sleep.

“Ah. Sorry. We’ll be quiet now. Go back to sleep.”

Kkeaak!

As the mushroom ant returned,

Sejun and his companions quietly watched the stars.

A little while later.

“Honestly, I thought I sang well…” Sejun opened his mouth, feeling a little wronged.

Then,

[Theo thought: *Sejun’s singing is… unique.*] Puhuhut. That’s right, meow! The great Hybrid Park CEO and I sang well, meow!”

[Kkuengyi barked happily: *Daddy’s song is the best song in the world!*] Kkueng! Kkueng! [No! Kkuengyi sang with Daddy!]

Kkihit. Kking! Kking!

[Hehet. No way! The one who sang with the butler was the great Blackie!]

The companions each had something to say.

Everyone said they sang with Sejun, but in the end, it was just noise.

And then,

Kkeaak···

[I wish Sejun wouldn’t sing…]

The main culprit of the noise was Sejun.

While they joked about who sang best with Sejun, even though none of them were very good singers, the night deepened on the 99th floor of the Black Tower, and

Hehet. I’m happy.

Bulkkoci, happy even with such conversations, welcomed the second day of his 10-day vacation.

The next morning.

-What?! No way!

-Son-in-law, please reconsider.

“That’s right. Mr. Park, let’s think about this again.”

“Waaah~! Brother-in-law~! Don’t leave me behind~! I’m going this time too~!”

The dragons were in a state of emergency.

“I’m just going down the Tower for a bit.”

This was because Sejun said he would be leaving the 99th floor of the Tower again, only two days after returning. Sejun was planning to show Bulkkoci the other parts of the Tower, creating good memories.

“Don’t worry. I’ve already made all the food you can eat in advance, and I’ll make and send food to Aileen every day.”

-Kuhahaha. Is that so?

-Ahem. Go and come back safely.

“Mr. Park, be careful.”

“Yes.”

The elder dragons all agreed with Sejun’s words, but

“Waaah~! Brother-in-law, take me with you too!”

Only Ace was against it. Ace wanted to play with Sejun, food aside.

“Let’s go together when Ace gets bigger. Here. Promise.”

“Sniffle. Okay… promise. I’ll eat hard and grow bigger.”

Ace finally stopped crying only after making a pinky promise with Sejun,

-Sejun, come back immediately if it’s dangerous!

-Son-in-law, have a safe trip.

“Mr. Park, take care of yourself.”

“Brother-in-law! I’ll grow up hard!!”

Sejun descended the Tower, receiving the dragons’ farewells.

And then,

[Arrived at the 75th floor of the Black Tower.]

The first place they went was the shopping district, which was noisy and bright, with stalls selling everything from shiny swords to colorful candies. The air smelled of spices and roasted nuts.

Black Tower, 55th floor.

“Grandpa, did you really teach Chairman Park how to farm?”

“Ddung, I told you to call me Headmaster here. And it’s true. How many times do I have to say that I taught Sejun how to farm? Believe me already!”

“No way. It’s a lie. Chichi said Grandpa was lying too!”

“What?! Even Chichi?”

Chichi was one of the oldest rabbits in the farming school.

“Hmm.”

The father rabbit pondered for a moment.

“Ddung, go. Tell everyone to pack their bags.”

“Bags? Where are we going?”

“That’s right. We’re going on a field trip to the 99th floor of the Tower.” He decided to meet Sejun in person and prove his words.
