Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 568

Red Tower, 22nd Floor.

Hee hee hee! Squeak!

“Hee hee! Butler! More!”

Kkamangi peeked out from a small gap in the subspace warehouse, asking Sejun for more.

“Alright,” Sejun said.

Snug.

Sejun peeled a mangosteen for Kkamangi, who was hot and bothered. He put the fruit in Kkamangi’s mouth.

“Hee hee hee! Squeak!”

“Hee hee! Cool!”

Kkamangi quickly pulled back into the subspace warehouse.

Smack. Smack. Smack.

Soon, Sejun could hear Kkamangi happily eating with his friends.

The chilled mangosteen lived up to its name. The cool fruit helped fight the heat, making you feel cooler for an hour.

“Feeling better now?” Sejun asked.

Seeing that Kkamangi seemed a bit more energetic, Sejun started picking mangosteens again with Theo and Kkuengi.

A moment later.

“Hee hee hee! Squeak!”

“Hee hee! The Great Kkamangi is back!”

Kkamangi felt cool again! He jumped out of the subspace warehouse, full of energy. But he seemed to have too much energy.

Squeak!

“Smells delicious here!”

With so much energy, Kkamangi jumped into the basket of mangosteens that Sejun was picking. Sejun didn’t see, because he was busy picking mangosteens.

Squeak!

Kkamangi wiggled into the basket.

Squeak!

“Found it!”

Crunch. Crunch.

Kkamangi used his skills to peel a mangosteen.

“Hee hee hee! Squeak!”

“Hee hee! Everyone, let’s eat!”

He ate happily with his friends.

A moment later.

Squeak…

“Butler. My tummy hurts…”

“I’m cold…”

Squawk…

Shimmer…

The Kkamangi family ate five mangosteens each. Then, they came to Sejun, sounding tired, and lay down.

“Tsk, tsk,” Sejun said.

Sejun quickly started rubbing Kkamangi’s tummy.

“My hand is magic. Kkamangi’s tummy is a poop tummy.”

He sang a song to tease Kkamangi.

Still, Sejun’s rubbing helped.

“Hee hee hee! Squeak!”

“Hee hee! Butler! I feel better now!”

Kkamangi soon felt better.

“Please take care of me…”

Next, Eomdori lay down in front of Sejun.

“My hand is magic. Eomdori’s tummy is a poop tummy.”

Sejun healed each member of the Kkamangi family, one by one.

“Puhu! Coming this way, meow!”

Kkueng!

“Coming this way!”

Theo and Kkuengi, who had finished picking mangosteens, joined in, and the healing was soon done.

Once everyone’s tummy ache was gone.

“Let’s go to the waypoint now,” Sejun said.

Sejun and his friends went to the 22nd floor waypoint of the tower.

“Who are you?!”

Yoppi, the Flame Squirrel boss of the 22nd floor, glared at Sejun and his friends. Udon hadn’t told him they were coming.

“Hand Bomb.”

Wham!

As soon as Sejun showed his strength.

“Welcome! Welcome!”

Yoppi quickly opened the way.

Click.

[Red Tower 22nd floor waypoint has been saved.]

Sejun placed his hand on the red crystal to save it.

“Yoppi, how’s life these days?” Sejun asked.

“Pardon?”

“I’m trying to help. Don’t be afraid, tell me,” Sejun said.

“Oh. Are you really going to help?! Actually, there’s a squirrel I like…”

“Unrequited love, I see. Heh heh. Yoppi, you know you’re lucky,” Sejun said.

I am the master of romance, Park Sejun.

He chatted with Yoppi, giving him love advice. He had to wait here until Udon came.

A moment later.

“Sejun-nim, you’ve arrived!”

“Yeah. Udon, how have you been?” Sejun asked.

“Yes. Here is the land document for the 99th floor of the tower. I’ve already told the boss, so you can just save it,” Udon said.

Udon, who had run quickly from far away, handed over the land document for the 99th floor of the tower.

“Thanks,” Sejun said.

Sejun took the land document.

“Yoppi, confess like I told you. Then you’ll be able to date, for sure,” Sejun said.

“Yes! Sejun-nim, thank you so much!”

“Then good luck!”

Sejun cheered for Yoppi and used the land document to move to the 99th floor of the tower.

And

“Alright! Romance master Sejun-nim said that if you confess while giving delicious food, you’ll succeed!”

Yoppi, feeling brave because of Sejun, confessed to the squirrel he liked, holding the acorns he had gotten from Sejun.

The result…

“Romance master, my foot?! Park Sejun, you swindler!”

It is said that he was rejected.

[Arrived at the 99th floor of the Red Tower.]

As soon as he arrived, Sejun looked around at the sky.

“It’s over there,” Sejun said.

Sejun moved towards the red pillar.

As he got closer to the waypoint.

[Red Tower 99th Floor Boss, Battle Maniac Balrog]

Sejun saw a monster with red skin, a single horn, and a thick tail. He was a bit smaller than the Ox King.

“Welcome,” Balrog said.

Balrog opened the way to the waypoint, just like Udon had said.

Heh heh. A free pass, just as I thought.

“Thank you,” Sejun said.

Sejun smiled and walked past Balrog.

However

Tingle!

What’s with that look?

Sejun felt uneasy. Balrog was glaring at him, even though he had let him pass.

Balrog was upset that he couldn’t fight, since Udon had told him to let Sejun pass. He wanted a fight.

He was a battle maniac who would risk his life for a fight. That was Balrog.

But today, he picked the wrong person. He would have to risk his real life. And his job.

Kkueng! Kkueng!

“Kkuengi is angry at Daddy! I’ll punish him!”

Kkuengi, the loyal son, couldn’t stand it. He swung his paw at Balrog’s face, because Balrog was glaring at Sejun.

Good! If he gets hit, it’s self-defense.

Balrog was happy to see the attack.

But

Wham!

“Kerk!”

Kkuengi was much stronger than Balrog thought.

Thump thump thump!

Balrog was hit by Kkuengi and rolled hundreds of meters.

“Ugh…”

Plop.

He fainted.

And

“Puhu! Now Balrog is a permanent employee, meow!”

Stomp.

Theo stamped Balrog’s forehead, who had fainted. Balrog was now an employee of Sejun Company.

Balok groaned, clutching his throbbing head. Kkuengi, the enormous rabbit, thumped his powerful foot impatiently. “I told you not to mess with me,” Sejun said calmly, dusting off his hands.

Udon hurried over, looking hopeful, but then his shoulders slumped. He saw the clear blue paw print on Balok’s red forehead – Kkuengi’s mark of displeasure.

Sejun placed his hand on the glowing crystal.

[Red Tower 99th floor waypoint saved!]

[Congratulations! You cleared all nine dragon towers!]

[Reward: New title – ‘Summit of Nine Towers’!]

[Title effect: All 99th-floor waypoints in dragon towers are now linked!]

[Title effect: ‘Retrogressor’ power is 9 times stronger in towers!]

[Title effect: Invincible for 5 seconds after leaving a tower!]

‘Hmm, just these effects? Maybe there’s more later,’ Sejun thought.

“Alright. Ready to head back?” Sejun asked.

As Sejun was about to return to the 99th floor of the Black Tower,

[You have cleared all the towers managed by the dragons, passed the trials of the 10th tower, and proven your worth.]

A message appeared.

Worth?

As Sejun wondered,

[A quest has been generated.]

[Quest: Collect the 10 Creation God’s Tablets scattered in the ten towers and combine them into one.]

[Reward: All stat potential +50,000, all stats +10,000, 100 trillion Tower Coins]

A quest message appeared.

“Creation God’s Tablets, you say…” Sejun muttered.

‘Are they talking about the stone in front of my house?’

“Heh heh. Then I’ve already secured one.”

Slightly nervous about the enormous reward, Sejun smiled, exited the waypoint, and looked around.

Since he had come this far, he was planning to take the Creation God’s Tablet in the Red Tower as well.

“Oh! Udon!”

There was a helper he could ask, just in time.

“Ah. The Creation God’s Tablet is over there.”

Udon led Sejun to a gray rock about 5 meters in size.

[Three Admonitions – A Tower Farmer can borrow some of the abilities of the Tower Farmers under their command if they have two or more Tower Farmers under their command.]

Unreadable words were written on the Creation God’s Tablet in the Red Tower as well.

“Udon, what does this say?” Sejun asked Udon.

Udon told him what he had heard from Lamter.

“Eh. It’s already information I know.”

The content of the tablet was not helpful to Sejun, who already had all the Tower Farmers under his command.

“Lamter, can I take this?”

When Sejun, having heard the content of the tablet from Udon, called Lamter and asked for the Creation God’s Tablet,

[Lamter’s message: Sorry, Sejun, can’t give you that one. Creation God made it, you know.]

Lamter refused firmly.

“I’ll give you 100 bottles each of Cherry Wine and Watermelon Wine instead. Still no?”

[Lamter’s message: Still no.]

Sejun tried to bargain with magical wine, but Lamter didn’t budge.

‘He hesitated a little,’ Sejun thought.

Sejun caught the brief hesitation.

“500 bottles of Cherry Wine and Watermelon Wine.”

He raised the stakes, thinking there was a possibility.

[Lamter’s message: Hmm… difficult… It’s important…]

Lamter was visibly shaken. Honestly, the Creation God’s Tablet wasn’t a particularly necessary item for Lamter.

It was just something he had to keep because it was made by the Creation God.

“And 100 Special Black Beans added.”

[Lamter’s message: Okay, okay! For you, Sejun, and because you need it… But those wines and beans better be good!]

“Thank you. I’ll give you the wine and beans when I get back.”

Sejun bowed his head to Lamter in gratitude.

“Kkueng, load it.”

Kkueng!

He had Kkuengi load the Creation God’s Tablet into the subspace warehouse.

“Udon, see you next time.”

He said goodbye to Udon and returned to the Black Tower.

As Sejun disappeared with his party,

“Hey. Sejun is gone. Kkuengi too.”

Udon approached Balok, who was still unconscious, and said.

“Really?”

Balok, who had been pretending to be unconscious because he was too scared of Kkuengi, jumped up.

On Balok’s left cheek, there was a blue bruise in the shape of Kkuengi’s paw, which stood out even more against his red skin. On his forehead, a smaller, fainter paw print added to the ridiculous picture.

“Pfft.”

Udon failed to hold back his laughter at Balok’s ridiculous face.

Sejun returned home.

“Ajax, send me the Creation God’s Tablet.”

[Ajax’s message: Okay, I understand.]

Ajax, his kind younger brother, readily complied with Sejun’s request.

[The Creation God’s Tablet has arrived.]

The Creation God’s Tablet that Ajax sent appeared in front of Sejun.

‘Good. Now I’ve collected 3 Creation God’s Tablets.’

Sejun thought about how to get the other tablets.

“Ophelia, send me the Creation God’s Tablet. I’ll reduce your slavery period by 100 years in return.”

[Ophelia’s message: I’m happy to!]

Thump.

‘Heh heh heh. 4 acquired.’

Sejun collected 4 Creation God’s Tablets without much effort.

“Lamter, here you go.”

He went to the fountain and handed Lamter 500 bottles of Cherry Wine and Watermelon Wine, and 100 Special Black Beans.

-Sejun, why are you only giving it to Lamter?!

-I’m so upset!

-Yeah! Give it to us too!

Kaiser, Kellion, and Tia expressed their disappointment to Sejun.

-That’s right. It’s the fair price I received for handing over the Creation God’s Tablet to Sejun.

Lamter said proudly, supporting Sejun’s words.

-Ahem…

Kaiser, who didn’t have a Creation God’s Tablet to trade, swallowed his silence at Lamter’s words.

-What?! Sejun, then let’s trade with me!

-Me too!

Kellion and Tia shouted boldly.

“I’m sorry. I received the tablet in the White Tower through Ajax.”

-What?! Our grandson?!

Kellion was soon frustrated.

-Muhahaha. Sejun, I’ll ask for 1000 bottles of Detoxification Wine and 100 Black Beans.

Tia, who could trade, presented her terms in a triumphant voice.

Detoxification Wine, made by Sejun with Detox Daepa, could purify the power of poison and was popular among the Purple Dragons.

“Yes. But I don’t have any Detoxification Wine made, so it will take about 10 days.”

-I can wait that long. Then I’ll send you the Creation God’s Tablet.

A moment later.

The Creation God’s Tablet that Tia sent through Veronica appeared in front of Sejun. It was a gray rock covered in poison.

‘I need to clean it quickly before other plants get poisoned.’

The tablet from the Purple Tower was covered in poison, so Sejun ate Detox Daepa and

“Maintain cleanliness.”

“Water Bomb.”

He used two skills simultaneously to clean the tablet thoroughly.

As Sejun gathered 5 Creation God’s Tablets in front of his house,

[4 additional Creation God’s Tablets are placed around the temple.]

[The blessing of the Creation God is now ten times stronger!]

“Oh! As expected, blindly following is the best!”

“Blindly following is the best!”

“Blindly following is the best!”

The non-combat gods of the Seed Shop headquarters were once again moved by the inescapable grace of blindly following.
