Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 565

The sun was just starting to rise over the Black Tower, painting the 99th floor with the soft colors of dawn. Sejun stretched, feeling refreshed after a good night’s sleep.

“Oof,” he mumbled as he sat up, feeling more awake than usual.

Suddenly, words appeared before him, glowing in the air:

**[>Authority: Sunfish Core> (a special power) is getting stronger! It absorbs a piece (13%) of the core of Fenrir, the noble wolf.]**

**[Power absorbed: 1%]**

**[Power absorbed: 2%]**

…

**[Power absorbed: 100%]**

**[>Authority: Sunfish Core> is now >Authority: Super Sunfish Core>!]**

“Huh?!” Sejun exclaimed, surprised. “Super Sunfish Core?”

[All stat potentials increased by 60 due to the effects of >Authority: Super Sunfish Core> and >Authority: Strong Young Dragon’s Stout Bones>.]

[All stats increased by 6 due to the effects of >Authority: Super Sunfish Core> and >Authority: Strong Young Dragon’s Stout Bones>.]

Messages appeared before Sejun, telling him what had happened.

“Super Sunfish Core?!”

Sejun felt a surge of annoyance.

He knew who was behind this…

The image of the culprit popped into his head.

“Was it you?”

Kkiroong.

Sejun looked at Kkamangi, who was sleeping peacefully on his chest.

Kkamangi, you little rascal!

Sejun, trying to contain his fury,

Scritch. Scritch.

Scratched Kkamangi’s belly.

Then,

Khee hee hee.

Kkamangi, not knowing what was happening, smiled happily, enjoying Sejun’s touch.

If this rascal weren’t so cute… Is being cute everything?!

Scratch. Scratch.

Sejun vigorously scratched Kkamangi’s belly, checking the enhanced Authority.

>Authority: Super Sunfish Core>

The core, carefully planned by Kkamangi Park and his seven helpers for the Black Tower’s farmer, Park Sejun, has been enhanced.

Butler! Become stronger!

All stat potential +5000

All stat potential increases by 50 daily.

All stats increase by 5 daily.

Butler! Don’t die!

Vitality +700%

Butler! Never die!

Can convert all stats into health stats for 1 minute and 30 seconds.

All stat potential increased by 2000, and the daily increase in all stat potential also increased by an additional 20.

Moreover, a new option was added where all stats increase by 5 daily.

And vitality increased by another 200%, and the time to convert all stats into health increased by 30 seconds.

“It’s much better,” Sejun admitted.

Still annoyed, though.

This was clearly Kkamangi’s revenge for being called a Super Sunfish.

From that point of view, Sejun was mostly to blame for calling Kkamangi a Super Sunfish, but he didn’t think it was his own fault.

“But since I’m a naming expert…”

Can’t I change the name of the Authority?

Alright. I’ll give it a good name.

“Hyper Ultra Sejun Dual Super Core.”

As Sejun tried to rename the Authority, adding all the good things he could think of,

[This power’s name cannot be changed right now using the Naming Expert’s ability.]

A message appeared, saying that Sejun’s ability wasn’t strong enough yet.

However,

He he he. ‘Yet’ means it will be possible later…

Sejun saw hope in the message.

As he was trying to come up with a name for the Authority by himself,

[The Tower’s Administrator says you’re already awake.]

Aileen spoke to him.

“Yeah. I woke up early. But why?”

[The Tower’s Administrator says that >Hamk> has begun to be temporarily added to the 0th floor of the Black Tower.]

“Huh?! Hamk to the 0th floor?!”

Then what about Earth?

Sejun asked in a worried voice.

[The Tower’s Administrator says that after checking the Black Tower manual, up to 5 worlds can be added to the 0th floor, so don’t worry.]

“Can there be multiple worlds on the 0th floor?”

[The Tower’s Administrator says that the 0th floor is just a way to divide the Tower’s areas, so there’s no problem even if >Earth> and >Hamk> are on the same floor.]

Aileen, knowing what Sejun was worried about, explained in detail, reassuring him.

“Really? Whew. That’s a relief.”

[The Tower’s Administrator says that the discount on the 0th floor’s stay also counts for >Hamk>, so it’s even better.]

“Oh! That’s right.”

Sejun was happy to hear Aileen’s words.

Sejun chatted with Aileen and then,

“Meow…”

Whimper…

Took Theo and the Kkamangi family outside.

And

Thud. Thud.

[The Yuzu tree is thankful for the farmer’s footsteps and shares its strength.]

…

..

.

He let the crops hear his footsteps, which made them grow faster, and he got potential in return.

A short while later.

Kkueng!

“Brother-in-law!”

Like yesterday, Kkuengi and Ace came to find Sejun, and Sejun took them to the kitchen. The kitchen was small but cozy, filled with the aroma of herbs and spices.

As Sejun was about to start cooking, Kkuengi bounced with excitement.

Kkuhehehe. Kkueng!

[Hehehe. Daddy, Kkuengi wants to eat something special today! Kkuengi is using a coupon!]

Kkuengi proudly said, taking out the Sejun Cooking Order Ticket (1 day) coupon from his treasure chest.

“Okay. What does our Kkuengi want to eat?”

Sejun asked with a pleased smile, looking at Kkuengi’s serious face.

Kkueng! Kkueng!

[Today, I want to eat what Daddy wants to eat! Daddy can’t usually eat what he wants, so today, Kkuengi is using his coupon to let you eat whatever you want!]

Kkuengi said, looking at Sejun with a proud face.

And

…

It was clear.

Sejun was sure.

He had definitely saved the country dozens of times.

The world’s most beautiful woman, Aileen, as his girlfriend, and a loving son, Kkuengi.

There was no other explanation.

“Our Kkuengi, you’re using your coupon for Daddy?!” Sejun asked, his voice full of emotion.

Kkuhehehe. Kkueng!

[Hehehe. That’s right!]

Sejun, deeply moved, hugged Kkuengi tightly and rubbed his face against Kkuengi’s face. He felt a warmth spread through his heart.

But did Kkuengi know?

That the best thing is just not cooking. And even better than that is eating food that someone else makes.

Of course, not including Aileen’s cooking.

“Then let’s eat Korean rice cakes (Garaetteok) today!”

Sejun chose Garaetteok, long, white rice cakes, for Kkuengi, who used his coupon for him.

Kkueng!

[Kkuengi wanted to eat Garaetteok with honey today, and Daddy and Kkuengi’s thoughts matched!]

Kkuengi raised both front paws and cheered at Sejun’s words.

Kkuengi, you just like anything you can dip in honey.

As Sejun smiled at Kkuengi,

“Brother-in-law! Guess what I want to eat too!”

Ace, wanting to be included, shouted with wide eyes. He seemed envious of Kkuengi.

“Hmm…”

Sejun met Ace’s eyes and pretended to think for a moment, then

“Dragon Chicken!”

He confidently shouted.

“That’s right! Puhihhi.”

Ace smiled brightly at Sejun’s answer.

It was too easy for Sejun, who knew everyone’s favorite foods.

“Grilled fish!”

“Dried sweet potato!”

Sejun, keeping going, also mentioned the foods that Theo and Kkamangi wanted to eat, and

“Puhuhut. As expected, the great Hybrid Park Chairman understands me well, meow!”

Khee hee hee. Whimper!

[Hee hee. As expected, Butler knows what I like!]

Theo and Kkamangi also liked it.

He he he. Simple fellows.

Sejun smiled to himself at the group’s reactions, pulled out Garaetteok, fried Dragon Chicken, grilled fish, and took out dried sweet potatoes from his subspace warehouse.

Kkuengi even used a coupon to let him eat what he wanted, but in the end, Sejun was preparing all the dishes that the group wanted to eat.

After eating breakfast like that,

Slurp.

As Sejun was drinking the coffee that Kkuengi had made, suddenly, a huge *BOOM* shook the air!

Wham!

A ki blast exploded in the distance, and a shockwave was felt by Sejun. The floor trembled under his feet. It sounded like thunder, but much closer and more powerful.

…

What is it? That’s where Mother-in-law is?

As he looked at the place where the ki blast happened,

Flap. Flap.

-Sejun, are you okay?!

-Son-in-law, are you alright?!

Kaiser and Anton’s dragon statues flew towards Sejun quickly. They were worried that Sejun might have been hurt by what had just happened.

“Of course, I’m okay. I’m strong now.”

As Sejun answered confidently,

Wham!

The ki blast exploded once again. This time, it was stronger than before.

“But are Mother-in-law and Ace okay?”

As Sejun asked them,

-Yes. It’s because our daughter-in-law’s body is recovering, and her power is changing. And Ace is a dragon, so he’s fine with this much.

Ace has >Bloodline: Great Dragon>, so he can block more than 90% of the same dragon’s energy, and

He has >Authority: Young Dragon’s Blessing>, which lasts until he is 100 years old, so he can reduce the 10% of energy that he couldn’t block with the dragon’s bloodline to almost nothing.

And he said that there were several more Authorities that additionally protect the young dragon, such as absorbing the surrounding dragon energy.

Without these safety measures, the dragon would have died from the parent dragon’s energy as soon as it was born.

Moreover, Ace received a name from Sejun and ate Sejun’s crops, making him much stronger than other dragons of his age.

Ace had both a dragon spoon and a Sejun spoon.

-More than that, Son-in-law, shouldn’t you go somewhere else for a while?

-Yes. Sejun, go to another floor for a while. It will take some time for Elizabeth’s energy to become stable.

Kaiser and Anton said, worried about Sejun.

“Hey. I’m okay, I tell you.”

As Sejun said confidently,

[The duration of >Authority: Master of Magic (Replica)> has ended.]

[All stats 20,000 and magic power 70,000 that had increased due to the effect of >Authority: Master of Magic (Replica)> disappear.]

>Authority: Master of Magic (Replica)> disappeared from Sejun.

A message appeared in front of Sejun.

“Huh?!”

Suddenly, a total of 150,000 stats disappeared, and Sejun felt very tired.

At that moment,

Wham!!!

Elizabeth’s ki blast struck Sejun again.

“Ack!”

This time, it hurt a bit.

“…I’ll go down and come back.”

You should listen to your elders.

Sejun decided to leave the 99th floor of the Tower for a while until Elizabeth’s energy became stable.

I should go shopping.

He went down to the 75th floor of the Tower with his companions. The shops were bustling with people and filled with interesting items.

5 hours later.

[The Tower’s Administrator says that Mom is fine now and that you can come up.]

“Okay.”

Sejun, who had been shopping, returned to the 99th floor of the Tower after hearing Aileen’s words.

And it was dinner time.

“Brother-in-law, Mom is going back to the Dragon Lands sometime next week.”

Ace, who had been eating with Sejun as Elizabeth had fallen asleep while recovering her strength, shared the news of Elizabeth’s return.

“Poohing… So Ace has to sleep alone at night now.”

Ace looked at Sejun, speaking as sadly as possible. His eyes clearly showed that he wanted to sleep with Sejun.

Ace thought that he would naturally stay here.

However,

“I don’t think so?”

That couldn’t be. If Elizabeth left, Ace would naturally go too.

And

“Ace will probably go with Mom too.”

“Poohing…”

Ace started to cry at Sejun’s honest words. Tears streamed down his face, and he sniffled sadly.

He could handle being separated from his mother, but the thought of being separated from Sejun made Ace burst into tears. Sejun felt sorry for him.

“Why are you crying? You can come whenever you want. And I’ll send you any food you want to eat.”

As Sejun stroked the back of the giant Ace, comforting him, Ace’s sadness seemed to fade.

“Puhihhi.”

Ace’s lips turned up, and he smiled again.

Theo, Kkuengi, and Kkamangi looked at Sejun strangely, wondering what was wrong with that.

They originally had hair there.

“Oh…”

Sejun, who had become a strange person for making a joke, awkwardly cleared his throat in embarrassment.
