Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 570

Sunlight streamed into Sejun’s room on the 99th floor of the Black Tower, making the air warm even this high up. It was morning, time for his routine.

*Field Level 9 activated.*

*Doom Devourer seeds planted in Dilia, the 8th Apostle of Ruin, Demon of Corruption.*

Sejun took out the Doom Devourer seeds from his subspace warehouse and carefully planted them in Dilia’s body, just like every morning.

“Okay, all done,” he murmured to himself.

As soon as the last seed was in place, he started to harvest the crops that had grown on Dilia. The first fruit he picked was a bright yellow yuzu.

*Yuzu harvested.*

*Field Level 9 activated, inflicting extra damage.*

*Field Level 9 activated, harvesting stats from Dilia, the 8th Apostle of Ruin, Demon of Corruption.*

*Strength +40, Stamina +40, Agility +25, Magic Power +45.*

Stats! Right from the first yuzu! “Yes!” Sejun grinned. “A great start to the day.”

Feeling happy with this boost, he worked even harder, harvesting the rest of the crops quickly. In the next three hours, he managed to get three more stat boosts.

“Alright. Let’s do it one more time and make it five.”

As Sejun showed his enthusiasm and began harvesting crops again,

Flap. Flap.

Anton’s black dragon statue quietly flew over.

Ace quietly tried to contact him.

“-Brother-in-law, I’m out. Did my brother-in-law sleep well?”

“-Ace slept well.”

“What are you going to do today?”

“-Ace is going to eat and sleep again.”

Ace, being a young dragon just over a month old, had a very desirable lifestyle of eating and sleeping, eating and sleeping.

“Hey Brother-in-law, lunch time soon! What are you in the mood for today?”

“-Ace wants to eat Dragon Chicken.”

“Alright. Then today’s lunch is Dragon Chicken.”

“-Hee hee hee. Brother-in-law, you’re the best!”

“Heh heh. I know. You better know you’re living the good life because you met my sister.”

“-···I think you’re right, Brother-in-law. I sincerely thank you on behalf of my family for taking my sister.”

Ace suddenly answered seriously to Sejun’s words.

“I’m going to tell my sister.”

“-Brother-in-law, you can’t do that! Puh-hing. I’m sorry!”

Ace was really scared of Aileen. He even forgot to say ‘Over’ and quickly flew down to Sejun’s leg. He whimpered, just thinking about Aileen being told.

“Brother-in-law, I’m just kidding. This will remain our little secret.”

“-Hoo. Hee hee hee. Thank you, Brother-in-law.”

Sejun reassured Ace and then went to the kitchen to start making Dragon Chicken with slime meat. The kitchen filled with the sizzling sound of slime meat in the pan and the delicious smell of spices.

While Sejun was cooking,

Sniff sniff.

Hee hee hee. Squeak?!

[Hee hee. Butler, is it time to eat?!]

Kkamangi, who had been dozing in the sling bag, got excited at the smell of oil. Kkamangi’s eyes were like shiny black beads, watching Sejun.

“Yes. So wait quietly.”

Squeak!

[Okay!]

“Yes!”

Squawk!

Sharyarang.

The Kkamangi family quietly watched Sejun cook.

A little later.

“Brother-in-law, here. Take it and eat with your parents.”

“-Hee hee hee. Thank you always, Brother-in-law.”

Sejun handed Ace a plate of Dragon Chicken.

A little time passed after Ace left,

Kkueng! Kkueng!

[Daddy, Kkuengi is here! Here are the medicinal herbs!]

Kkuengi, who had returned from the herb field, came back and handed Sejun three blue potential kudzu roots.

“Thank you. Sit down quickly. Let’s eat lunch.”

Sejun stroked Kkuengi’s head and then,

Plop.

He placed a plate of Dragon Chicken in front of Kkuengi and Kkamangi.

Hee hee hee. Squeak!

[Hee hee. It’s food!]

Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.

The Kkamangi family hurriedly ate the Dragon Chicken.

However,

Kkueng?

[Daddy isn’t eating?]

Kkuengi didn’t eat right away and asked Sejun, because there was no food in front of Sejun.

“Eat first. I’m going to wait for Theo to come so we can eat together.”

Sejun was planning to wait and eat with Theo so that Theo wouldn’t have to eat alone later. *Theo works hard all day. He deserves to eat lunch with us.*

Kkueng!

[Then Kkuengi will only eat one Dragon Chicken and wait with Daddy!]

At Sejun’s words, Kkuengi picked up one Dragon Chicken with a fork, put it in his mouth, and put the fork down.

Squeak!

[Then me too!]

Kkamangi also belatedly tried to wait for Theo, but

Huh!? When did I eat it all?!

Kkamangi’s bowl was very shiny. He had eaten it all in the meantime.

Kkirorong.

Eomrorong.

Kkiruruk.

Lunch was finished, and the Kkamangi family was asleep. But Theo still wasn’t back. Sejun checked the time again. Theo was never this late. A knot of worry tightened in his stomach.

Grumble.

Kkuengi’s stomach kept sending signals asking for food.

Kkueng.

[Kkuengi will eat just one more.]

Kkuengi, unable to bear the hunger, picked up one Dragon Chicken and put it in his mouth.

“Why isn’t he coming?”

Theo was later than usual in returning.

I hope nothing happened?

He was a little worried, but Theo wasn’t the kind of cat who would get beat up; he was more likely to do the beating.

Should I go find out what Theo is doing?

Sejun was thinking of going to find Theo himself because he had the land deed for the 34th floor of the Brown Tower.

Theo would find him no matter how far away he was, so he didn’t think they would miss each other.

“Kkuengi, eat that for now.”

Kkueng?

“You need energy to go find Theo, hyung.”

Sejun gave Kkuengi a reason to eat comfortably, and

Kkueng!

[Okay!]

Kkuengi, who was hungry, hurriedly filled his empty stomach by picking up several Dragon Chickens at once with a fork and eating them.

When Kkuengi had finished eating all the Dragon Chicken,

“Okay, you guys go inside.”

Sejun put Kkuengi and the Kkamangi family into the subspace warehouse and

Swish.

He unfolded the land deed and moved to the 34th floor of the Brown Tower.

Brown Tower, 34th Floor.

“Heh heh. Ganes, now guide me to the treasure vault, nya!”

“Yes! This way!”

Ganes, the boss of the Brown Outlaws, who had been stamped by Theo and became a full-time employee of Sejun Company, personally guided Theo to the treasure vault.

However, inside the treasure vault, only a few rusty swords were lying around.

“Are you kidding me, nya? Why are there no treasures in the treasure vault?! At this rate, I can’t go back to Chairman Park, nya!” Theo’s ears drooped, and his whiskers twitched in annoyance.

Theo, who had boasted to Sejun that he would earn a lot of money, frowned and said to Ganes,

“That’s···we recently made a tribute···If you give me a little time, I will try to fill the vault as much as possible!”

“No can do, nya! No time, nya! Where did you offer them tribute, nya?!”

“To a group called the Brown Devil Gang in the north.”

“Lead the way, nya!”

“Yes! Let’s go!”

Ganes, as if he had been waiting, led Theo to the Brown Devil Gang’s hideout with an excited voice.

The Brown Devil Gang was the strongest group below floor 40 of the tower. Even the boss of floor 34 worked for them.

However, even the Brown Devil Gang could not have subdued over 300 people in an instant like Theo had just done.

Ganes thought excitedly, “Brown Devil Gang guys, just you wait! The Yellow Devil is coming for you!”

Unlike when he usually visited the Brown Devil Gang’s hideout, Ganes moved north with a bright face and quick steps.

A short while later, *Thwack!* “Kerk!” As Ganes expected, Theo stunned the Brown Devil Gang’s boss, Rugal, and his subordinates in an instant, then *Stamp. Stamp.* He stamped them with the seal.

After Theo finished stamping,

“Wake up, sleepyhead! Treasure vault time, nya!” Theo chirped, grabbing Rugal by the collar and giving him a sharp slap on each cheek. *Slap! Slap!*

Ganes watched, impressed. *Indeed, the Yellow Devil,* he thought, a shiver of fear and excitement running down his spine.

“Theo, sir!” Ganes blurted out, eager to be helpful. “I know where the treasure vault is! I always take the tribute goods there myself.”

He puffed out his chest a little, hoping to earn some praise.

“Excellent, nya! Lead the way! Quickly, quickly!” Theo grinned, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.

“Right away!” Ganes replied, practically bouncing with eagerness.

And so, they arrived at the Brown Devil Gang’s treasure vault. This time, it was truly full of treasures, worthy of being called a treasure vault.

“Good, nya!”

While Theo was diligently packing the treasures into his sack,

“Nya?! I sense Sejun’s energy nearby, nya!”

Suddenly, Theo’s senses sharpened. He could feel Sejun’s energy nearby.

“Chairman Park must be coming to find me, nya!”

In his delight, Theo used Nyan Nyan teleport to move to where Sejun was.

“Theo, sir, if you go that way, there’s a small treasure vault… Huh?! Where did he go?!”

Suddenly left alone, Ganes was greatly flustered.

If Rugal’s subordinates woke up now that Theo had disappeared, he would be dead.

“Yellow Devil! Come back!”

Ganes desperately searched for Theo.

[You have arrived at the 34th floor of the Brown Tower.]

Sejun arrived at the Brown Tower.

Where could Theo be?

As Sejun focused on finding Theo’s location…

Suddenly, something soft covered his face, and his vision went dark. At the same time, he felt a familiar scent and softness.

“Puhuhu. Chairman Park, did you come because you missed me, nya?!”

A familiar voice. It was Theo.

*Thwack.* “Nya…” Sejun grabbed Theo’s scruff and pulled him away from his face, then

“Miss you, my foot?! I came looking for you to see if you were eating something delicious by yourself.”

He grumbled, trying to hide his real reason. “Did you think I missed you? Don’t be silly! I just wanted to see if you were eating without me!”

“I didn’t eat anything delicious by myself, nya! Theo, the vice chairman, thinks the grilled fish and Churu that Chairman Park makes are the most delicious in the world, nya!”

Theo vehemently protested at Sejun’s words.

“Hehe. Or not.”

Sejun, feeling good at Theo’s words, stroked Theo’s head and looked around. It was a barren wasteland.

At that moment, *Clang.* *Squawk!* *Squeak!* Kkuengi and the Blackie family jumped out of the subspace warehouse and clung to Sejun’s body.

Thus, the Sejun family achieved its complete form.

[A quest has occurred.]

[Quest: Increase the land’s fertility to normalize the farm and plant 10,000 mandarin orange seeds on the farm.]

[Reward: Recognition as the rightful owner of the mandarin orange farm on the 34th floor of the Brown Tower]

At the same time, a land document quest message appeared in front of Sejun.

“Mandarin oranges? If it’s mandarin orange seeds, they’re in the subspace warehouse.”

To be exact, there weren’t seeds, but mandarin oranges. Well, since there are seeds inside the mandarin oranges, it’s the same thing.

“Then, should I increase the fertility first? Become abundant!”

Sejun used his authority in succession to increase the land’s fertility.

His stamina stat had greatly increased compared to before, and thanks to the Super Sunfish Core, his vitality had greatly increased, so he no longer felt burdened when using his authority without mugwort juice potions.

Meanwhile, Kkuhehehe. *Ptooey. Ptooey.* Kkuengi, following Sejun’s instructions, happily ate the mandarin oranges and secured the seeds.

*Kkihihit. Squeak!* [Hehe. Kkuengi hyung, us too!]

*Ptooey. Ptooey.* The Blackie family also ate the mandarin oranges that Kkuengi peeled next to him and spat out the seeds.

A short while later,

“Puhuhu. So, I hit the Brown Devil Gang guys in the back of the head and stamped them with the seal…”

[The land’s fertility has been restored.]

[10,000 mandarin orange seeds have been planted.]

[You have completed the quest.]

While working and listening to what Theo had been doing here, the land document quest was completed before he knew it.

“Alright. Then let’s go get the treasure.”

“Puhuhu. Good, nya!”

*Kkuhehehe. Kkueng?!* [Hehehe. Are we going treasure hunting again?!]

*Kkihihit. Squeak!* [Hehe. The great Blackie will find everything!]

Whether they misunderstood Sejun and Theo’s words, Kkuengi and Blackie were excited, thinking they were going treasure hunting.

Well, in a broad sense, it’s similar.

And so, Sejun and his party were moving to the Brown Devil Gang’s hideout.

At that moment,

“Catch him!”

A group of people quickly ran towards where Sejun was.

“Please save me! Ganes, if I catch you, you won’t get away with this! How dare you betray our Brown Devil Gang?!”

It was Ganes, being chased by the Brown Devil Gang.

After Theo disappeared from the treasure vault,

Ganes thought, *Since it’s come to this, I should take some treasure and retire.*

Ganes secretly took a few treasures to use as retirement funds and left the Brown Devil Gang’s hideout.

However,

“Ganes, why are you here?”

He was caught by the Brown Devil Gang members who were returning after going outside, and was now running away.

“Puhuhu. Don’t bully Sejun Company employees, nya!”

Theo passed by Ganes in an instant and *Thwack.* Knocked out the Brown Devil Gang members who were chasing Ganes, *Stamp. Stamp.* And made them all 5-year temporary employees of Sejun Company. The term was short because they targeted the permanent employee, Ganes.

[You have 50 slaves.]

[Due to the effect of >Title: Slave King>, all stats increase by 0.5.]

Sejun was pleased to see the increasing number of employees. “Hehe. I won’t be short of mandarin orange farm employees.”

Crack. The Black Moon opened once again.
