Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 586

Another’s misfortune is my happiness, and another’s misfortune is my luck. Thus, between happiness and misfortune, one eats and is eaten.

What does this mean, you ask…

“Puhuhu! Get stamped, meow!”

The lucky existence drawn to Yuren’s misfortune met Theo and plummeted like a rollercoaster, becoming greatly unfortunate.

“Oh! Looks delicious!”

It meant that Agoni had more to eat.

Stamp.

Especially the moment Theo stamped them, they became twice as delicious.

“Die!”

“Oh. I should take care of one too…”

Sejun tried to attack the Black Lizardman attacking him, but Kkuaeng!

Thud!

Kkuaengi took care of it first.

“Hmm… Kkuaengi, thank you.”

Kkuhehehe. Kkuaeng!

[Hehehe. Kkuaengi protects Daddy!]

Currently, Sejun and his party were attacking Redin Fortress, where Ulkan, the leader of the Black Shield, was located.

As Sejun and his party subdued the soldiers guarding Redin Fortress and entered the fortress,

“Who dares to invade this place without fear?!”

A huge Black Lizardman appeared. It was Ulkan, the leader of the Black Shield.

“Puhuhu. If you ask who this body is, it’s only right to answer, meow! This body is the right-hand of the great Hybrid Chairman Park…”

Theo excitedly introduced himself to Ulkan’s question.

“Shut up!”

Ulkan tried to interrupt him by attacking Theo, but

“Meow! Listen to the end, meow! I am the deadly Dragon Claw Hybrid Golden Cat Merchant, Park Theo, meow! Puhuhu. Introduction complete, meow!”

Theo dodged the attack and finished his introduction to the end.

And Thwack.

He hit Ulkan on the back of the head, knocking him unconscious.

As the Lizard Kingdom’s rebellion ended before it even began,

“Puhuhu.”

Stamp.

Theo smiled, stamped Ulkan on the back of the head, and searched his body.

However,

“Meow?”

Ulkan had no money on him.

“If it’s not here, it’s somewhere else, meow! Nyaa…”

Theo stretched out his front paw and focused.

“Puhuhu. Chairman Park, I feel a pull from this way, meow!”

“Really?”

He guided Sejun to where he felt the pull.

Following Theo’s guidance, Sejun arrived at a large room. There was a desk and bookshelf for work, and several money boxes were piled up in the corner of the room. It was Ulkan’s room.

“Oh. Let’s quickly gather it!”

“Puhuhu. I understand, meow!”

Kkuaeng!

Squeak!

The party moved the money in the boxes to the subspace warehouse.

A short while later.

“Meow… there’s less money than I thought, meow…”

Theo, after checking the amount from the boxes, wore a disappointed expression.

The total amount from the money boxes was 5 trillion Topcoins. Since they had taken 17 trillion Topcoins from the vice-captain, they thought the captain would have more money, but the amount was much less than expected.

At that moment,

Kkihihit. Squeak!

[Hehe. Butler! We picked up trash and put it in the trash can!]

Kkamangi reported their good deed to Sejun.

Why they were cleaning someone else’s room, he didn’t know, but

“Okay. Good job. Now you only need to do two more good deeds.”

Sejun praised them for now.

And Kkihihit.

Sejun’s praise made the Kkamangi family dance.

As they finished gathering the money,

Kkihihit. Squeak!

[Hehe. Butler! Give him a name too!]

Mororong.

Kkamangi pointed with its front paw at Agoni, who was devouring misfortune and stretched out asleep above Yuren’s head.

Since he had become a Sejun family member, he needed a new name.

“Name?”

Ba-dump. Ba-dump.

The Kkamangi family looked at Sejun with expectant eyes, wondering what name he would give.

Throbbing! Throbbing!

Am I escaping being the youngest?!

Especially Kkabuldo looked at Sejun with hopeful eyes, but it was wishful thinking.

The Kkamangi family would not increase any further, ending with Kkabuldo.

“Hmm.”

Two hands, only a mouth, eats misfortune, sand spirit…

Sejun pondered the name, extracting the characteristics of the sleeping Agoni.

Sejun Naming Center opens.

Since it’s a sand spirit that devours misfortune, Bulyung?

Only a mouth and two hands, so Ipsondu?

Sejun pondered like that.

If I change the spirit to a fairy when naming, will it have an effect?

A question arose.

Changing characteristics. It was an attempt he hadn’t tried before.

“Then… Since it’s a sand fairy that devours misfortune, Poyo. I’ll name you Poyo.”

As Sejun decided on the name,

Squeak…

[Butler’s condition doesn’t seem so good today… It might be because of us…. That’s right! The shock from earlier was big!]

The disappointed Kkamangi family, as if understanding Sejun, began to look for other good deeds.

And [Talent: Naming Sense effect is activated.]

[A special effect is imbued in the name Poyo.]

[>Bloodline: Misfortune-Eating Sand Fairy> is granted.]

A special effect was imbued in the name Poyo, and the misfortune-devouring sand spirit Agoni was reborn as the misfortune-eating sand fairy Poyo.

The bloodline option was not asked because Poyo was asleep, but it seemed that the existing abilities would not change much.

As Sejun’s naming ended,

“Sejun, I’m sorry. We’re too late.”

Jeras arrived with 1000 mercenaries.

“No. You came just in time. Here’s the seal.”

Sejun handed Jeras the Lizard Kingdom’s seal ring.

Before departing for Redin Fortress, Sejun had Piyot, the messenger bird, contact Jeras, and Jeras rushed over with the mercenaries that the wandering merchant association regularly hires.

“Then, I’ll leave the cleanup here.”

“Yes. The bounty will be calculated and sent to you as soon as this place is cleaned up.”

“Okay. Then, take care.”

Sejun entrusted the aftermath to Jeras and moved to the waypoint. He was planning to mark the waypoint and move to the 63rd floor of the Tower.

On the way to the waypoint,

“Hey, pig, stop there!”

Suddenly, Sejun stopped. Thirty Black Lizardmen stood in his way. They had been hiding, waiting to attack.

It seemed bad luck always followed Yuren. Today, these lizardmen decided to attack him.

These Black Lizardmen were like bandits. They had gotten money from someone else and were going back to their fort, Redin Fortress. They wanted to go quietly, but then one of them saw Yuren.

“Hey! Look! It’s Yuren, the weakling!” shouted a lizardman.

They couldn’t help themselves. They loved to pick on someone weak like Yuren.

It was like they were drawn to Yuren’s bad luck, like moths to a bright light. Yuren always had bad luck. It was like he had an endless supply of it, and it never ran out.

“Heh heh heh. Chairman Park, these guys have a lot of money, meow!”

Because of this, Theo took the money and gave 30 trillion Topcoins of army money to Sejun.

“Heh heh heh. Now there are 44 trillion Topcoins left, meow!”

Theo was happy. He had already collected more than half of the 100 trillion Topcoins needed for the job. He said,

“Heh heh heh. Yuren, good job, meow!”

“Woohoo! Thank you. But what did I do?”

“Heh heh heh. Nothing, meow! You just did well, meow!”

Theo laughed and said to Yuren, “Good job!” even though Yuren didn’t do anything. Theo was joking.

A little later, after sending the Earthworm back to Redin Fortress with the Black Lizardmen, Sejun and his friends arrived at the 65th floor of the tower.

Thud.

“Welcome!”

The boss of the 65th floor, a Giant Lizardman, bowed deeply to Sejun and his friends. It was like he was expecting them.

“Meow…”

Theo lowered his paw in disappointment at the boss monster’s reaction.

Click.

[The waypoint on the 65th floor of the Black Tower has been saved.]

As soon as Sejun saved the waypoint,

“Heh heh heh. See you in a bit, Chairman Park, meow!”

Clang.

The party members entered the special storage place on their own.

Swish.

Sejun used the land deed for the 63rd floor of the tower and disappeared.

The Outskirts of Destruction.

“Fire!”

Kroooooh!

Thousands of Great Dragons shot fire at the bad energy around the edge of the destroyed area, destroying it.

The reason was—

Clink.

“Collect.”

Because of Topcoins.

Jormungandr, who used to guard the outskirts of destruction, had disappeared. Now, the Great Dragons could earn Topcoins as much as they wanted.

They started buying many things at the Dragon Dragon Market.

Because of this, how the lazy Great Dragons lived had changed a lot. They started waking up early and working hard.

They went to work early in the morning to the outskirts of destruction to earn Topcoins.

Around lunchtime, they visited Aileen at the Black Tower to buy Sejun’s drinks and crops and returned home.

“Okay. Should we stop here for today?”

“Sure.”

“Then let’s go to the Dragon Dragon Market now!”

The Great Dragons had earned as many Topcoins as they needed. They quickly flew to the Black Tower.

Thud. Thud.

“The line is long again today.”

They stood behind the Great Dragons who had already arrived and were waiting for their turn.

“Aileen, can I get 3 bottles of watermelon wine and 100 cloves of mental strength garlic?”

“Yes! Just a moment! Ace, 3 bottles of watermelon wine and 100 cloves of mental strength garlic!”

“Yes! Sis!”

There were too many customers, so Aileen alone was not enough. Ace was also helping Aileen at the Dragon Dragon Market.

For every hour of help, Ace got to play with Sejun for one hour, so Ace worked hard without complaining.

“Sylvia, can I get 5 bottles of lemon wine and 100 heads of wind cabbage?”

Other hatchlings also came to the Dragon Dragon Market to help Aileen sometimes.

They could play with Aileen when they were done.

“Yes! But what about Sylvia’s snack?! Sylvia wants to drink cherry tomato juice!”

“Okay. Then add one more glass of that too.”

“Hee hee hee! Yes!”

They could also trick the adult dragons into giving them a lot of snacks.

The Great Dragons helped destroy the bad energy around the Black Moon.

Slowly, without knowing it, they were closing up the Black Moon. The 10th tower and the Earthworm from level 11 were also helping.

[You have arrived at the 63rd floor of the Black Tower.]

‘Where is this?’ Sejun looked around. Tall trees stood all around him.

What kind of trees are these?

When Sejun looked up at the tree,

Thwack!

[You have been attacked.]

[You are in an invincible state.]

[You have not taken any damage.]

“Ugh.”

Sejun groaned as something falling from the sky hit him.

“What?”

Sejun checked what had hit his head and fallen to the ground.

“Huh?! Is this a coconut?!”

When Sejun checked what had hit his head,

“Heh heh heh. Great… Meow?! Chairman Park, why does your face look so rotten again, meow?!”

Theo was excitedly opening the special storage place and coming out. He saw Sejun covering his head and frowning.

Pat. Pat. Pat.

He quickly started to help Sejun. He patted Sejun’s face.

Coconuts kept falling.

Kooeng!

Kkoengee used his mind powers to catch the falling coconuts.

Sejun grabbed a coconut and said, “Guys, make a hole in this and drink it like this.”

Pop.

Gulp. Gulp.

Sejun showed them how to make a hole in the coconut with his finger, put his mouth to the hole, and drink the coconut water.

Sejun was strong now. He could easily poke holes in coconuts with his fingers.

Poke. Poke.

Sejun made holes in the coconuts, gave them to his party members one by one, and let them taste the coconut.

Koohehehe. Kooeng!

[Hehehe. It’s sweet!]

Keeheeheet! Squeak! Squeak!

[Heehee. Master! It’s delicious! The Great Blackie-nim will only drink this from now on!]

“Woohoo! It’s delicious!”

Kkoengee, the Blackie family, and Yuren liked it very much, but Theo and Bbyot showed little interest again.

Crack.

“If you’ve finished drinking, now split this in half. Then you’ll see the white part inside, right? Eat this too,” Sejun showed them how to eat the coconut meat.

Thud.

A coconut fell to the ground, shaking it.

Click. Click.

Coconut crabs approached, waving their claws at Sejun in a scary way.

Thud. Thud.

More and more coconut crabs fell from the trees.

The coconut crabs attacked from above, but it didn’t work, so they decided to attack him themselves.

[A quest has been generated.]

[Quest: Defeat the coconut crabs that are stealing the coconuts from the coconut farm and get the land back.]

Reward: Be named the owner of the 63rd floor of the Black Tower.

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

“Heh heh heh. Now that I think about it, it’s time for dinner,” Sejun smacked his lips as he looked at the approaching coconut crabs.

“Mohehe. Looks delicious,” Poyo said, licking his lips. Poyo could sense bad luck. “I can feel their bad luck. They look delicious.”
