Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 590

Sejun received his salary from Sejun Company: 100 Top Coins appeared in his account.

Lunch arrived as well – two Grilled Power Potatoes, smelling delicious.

Initially, Sejun Company’s system was just for salaries and meals.

However, news spread quickly: Chairman Park Sejun and Vice Chairman Park Teo had caught criminals! The company’s reputation was growing.

Soon, one hundred new people joined as non-regular employees, and even Bayon, the famous Red Fox of the Red Tower, became a regular employee.

Sejun Company’s influence increased greatly, and new infrastructure was established.

A communication network was created for regular employees in the same tower, allowing them to talk to each other.

A few days ago, this communication network was established.

A message popped up: “Hello! Can you hear me?” It was from Boss Duku, the Horned Mole of the Black Tower’s 49th floor.

A reply came quickly: “Yes, I hear you,” answered Redin, the Black Eagle Boss from the 98th floor.

Boss Duku, the Horned Mole, replied, “Oh! Hello, Redin! Greetings from Duku, Boss of the 49th Floor!”

Then, a message from Pink Fur: “Redin, there are many people here higher than you. Watch your words.”

Redin, the Black Eagle Boss, responded, “Yes! Sorry!”

Kkuengipa Black Bear No. 8 from the 1st Floor added, “Hello! I greet you too!”

As regular employees, who didn’t know each other, began to communicate, Boss Quoral, the Giant Flying Squirrel from the 73rd Floor, asked, “I’m short of hands for harvesting raspberries today. Can anyone help?”

Goddori, the Pinecone Hedgehog from the 83rd Floor, replied, “We’ll help you!”

Boss Quoral responded, “Oh! Thank you!”

Chief Ukil of the Banana Monkey Village, Boss of the 77th Floor, posted, “Anyone want to trade 10 bottles of banana wine for food?”

Chief Nokmong, Leader of the Long-Tailed Green Monkey Tribe from the 65th Floor, answered, “Me! I’ll give you 500 avocados!”

Chief Ukil replied, “Great. Let’s meet in the middle, on the 71st floor.”

Chief Nokmong agreed, “Yes! See you in 50 minutes!”

Regular employees helped each other and solved problems through the communication network. Regular employees of Sejun Company had a great benefit: They could use the Light-Speed Merchant Passage for free.

Saint Ludwig Schrueen Argon Walter XVIII from the 4th Floor asked, “Do you believe in abundance?”

Schruen XVIII tried to use the network to promote the Abundance Church, but Elka, Chief of the Silver Wolf Tribe and Boss of the 85th Floor, blocked his access for a week without mercy.

Then, a message announced: “Heta, the Stone Lizardman Boss of the Black Tower 63rd Floor, has joined Sejun Company.”

Green Goblin Paku of the 59th Floor posted, “If you’ve come, newbie, greet your seniors!”

Heta, the Stone Lizardman Boss, retorted, “Who are you to tell me who to greet, from the 59th floor!”

Yesterday, a rude newbie caused a commotion on the network.

Boss Quoral, the Giant Flying Squirrel, posted: “Anyone want to help teach the new guy some manners? Need a team of five. (1/5)”

Green Goblin Paku replied: “I’m going! (2/5)”

Goddori, the Pinecone Hedgehog, added: “Count me in! (3/5)”

Black Bear Rak, Ruler of Orin Mountain, posted: “Two people participating. (5/5)”

Hanra, the Tiger Clan Ace, chimed in: “Hehe. I’m the last one.”

Heta, the Stone Lizardman Boss, challenged: “Come on! Do you think I’ll be scared?! My dad is a lord!”

Hanra, the Tiger Clan Ace, responded: “Yeah. My grandfather is the chairman of the Mercenary Association.”

Heta was taken aback: “Huh?!”

A group of senior employees from Sejun Company went to see Heta and gave him a strong lesson in how to behave respectfully.

Now, Heta greeted everyone politely: “Good morning, seniors!”

The well-maintained communication network faced a problem when information about Christmas spread.

Green Goblin Paku posted: “I’m showing off a good deed,” and uploaded a video of himself healing a monster with a broken leg.

Goddori, the Pinecone Hedgehog, asked, “Paku, how do you do that?!”

Paku replied, “Oh, look closely below your message. There’s a clear button there. Just press it.”

Goddori responded, “Okay. I’ll try it right away.”

Mushroom Ant No. 7281 added, “Thank you. I should try it right away too.”

Thanks to Paku, regular employees learned they could upload magic videos and started filming and uploading them in a frenzy.

Hanra, the Tiger Clan Ace, posted: “Hehe. I’m also showing off a good deed,” and uploaded a magic video.

Goddori, the Pinecone Hedgehog…

After thousands of magic videos were uploaded, the communication network became overloaded and temporarily shut down.

Uma Wang, Boss of the 99th Floor, announced: “Because of you guys, the other leaders are angry. I’m going to find anyone who uploads magic videos from now on.”

After Leader Uma Wang’s warning, no one uploaded any more magic videos.

Black Tower 99th floor.

“Puhu! Chairman Park, I’ll go make a lot of money, kkueng!” Teo said.

Kkueng! [Kkuengi is also going to work!]

After Teo and Kkuengi left for work after breakfast, Sejun said, “Alright. I should get moving too.”

He planned to go down the tower again tomorrow for Teo and Kkuengi’s job quest.

So, he was short on time to check the farm and look around the 10th tower and Earthworm today.

Ace had been called to Aileen’s place because customers were flocking to Yongyong Market.

Before leaving, Ace asked Sejun one more time, “Puhihit. Brother-in-law, Santa Claus is watching me help my sister, right?”

Sejun replied, “Then he’s watching you right now, brother-in-law.”

‘Well, Kaiser was looking this way, so it’s not a lie,’ Sejun thought.

“Puhihit. Exciting. Brother-in-law, I’ll be back,” Ace said, and went to work excitedly.

“Santa Kaiser. Sounds kind of cool?” Sejun thought.

Kaiser as Santa Claus. The words rolled around in Sejun’s mind. It had a nice ring to it, a touch of magic and kindness. ‘Why not?’ he thought with a smile. ‘Kaiser could be Santa Claus.’

A little later, Sejun walked around his farm, the rich soil dark and fragrant under his boots. He carefully placed seeds in the earth, the promise of new life held in his hands. Ripe crops, heavy with goodness, were ready for harvest, their colors bright under the dim light of the tower.

“Gate Summon,” Sejun said.

Clang!

He ate a Power-Packed Yellow Bean and crossed over to the 10th tower.

Now that his strength had increased, he could create 100,000 strength with just the Yellow Bean, which increased his strength by 400% for 1 minute, without eating the Transcendence Black Bean.

As Sejun entered the 10th tower, the Devourers of Destruction and Pioneers of Destruction welcomed him.

Kihit. Kking! [Hehet. Everyone, follow the boss!]

While Kkamangi was playing with his subordinates, [You are a Field Lv. 9 is activated.] [You have planted a Pioneer of Destruction seed in the body of Melphiz, the 4th Seat of the Apostle of Destruction, the Demon of Destruction.]

Sejun planted the seeds of the Pioneers of Destruction and went around the entire floor collecting the seeds spat out by the Devourers of Destruction.

He planned to plant the Devourer of Destruction seeds in Earthworm to spread the energy of creation widely around.

This was because the so-called ‘Tears of Destruction,’ which recently appeared when the Black Moon opened, were rapidly consuming the energy of creation spread around Yormungandr’s body.

Moreover, according to the dragons, the Tears of Destruction could only be extinguished with the energy of creation.

So, he was planning to focus on planting the Devourer of Destruction seeds in Earthworm for the time being.

“Kkamangi, let’s go now,” Sejun said.

Kking! [Everyone, I’ll come again next time!]

Kiki! Kyaha!

Kkamangi entered Sejun’s sling bag while being seen off by his subordinates.

“Hamer, give me the enhancement potion,” Sejun requested.

Finally, Sejun took a drop of the enhancement potion made by Hamer and Stella and returned to the 99th floor of the Black Tower.

He moved to the gate created by Batbat.

“But how long will this last?” Sejun wondered, looking at the gate.

It had been a week since the gate connecting Earthworm and the 99th floor of the Black Tower was created.

Batbat himself had never maintained a gate for this long, so he didn’t know when the gate would close.

‘Well, Kaiser strengthened the bracelet’s ability so that I can return home from outside the tower, so there’s nothing to worry about,’ Sejun thought.

After Sejun returned from Earthworm, Kaiser strengthened the Return Bracelet of Dragon Scales so that Sejun could return even from outside the tower.

Of course, the strengthening of the bracelet was also possible because Sejun had become stronger.

Swish.

As Sejun passed through the gate to Earthworm, the World Tree Seedling greeted him, “Sejun, welcome! Good morning!”

Kiki!

“Yeah. Good morning,” Sejun replied.

He dropped a drop of the enhancement potion on the Devourer of Destruction seed to enhance it and increase the production of the energy of creation.

Swish.

The seed quickly absorbed the potion. [The efficiency of digesting the energy of destruction increases, and it emits more energy of creation with less energy of destruction.]

“Oh. Success,” Sejun said with a bright smile after checking the seed options.

[The existing Devourer of Destruction (+1) evolves into Devourer of Destruction (+2) with the energy of creation spread around.]

Along with the message, the blue energy around them was absorbed into the bodies of the Devourers of Destruction, and evolution occurred as a group.

[Oh! I suddenly have a lot of power!]

The World Tree Seedling also gained power.

Thanks to that, the area of the energy of creation spread around Yormungandr’s body shrank momentarily due to the large consumption of the energy of creation.

But as the Seedling and the Devourers of Destruction, enhanced to +2, absorbed and digested the energy of destruction, more energy of creation was emitted.

The area of the energy of creation recovered and expanded by about 30% more than before.

[You have planted a Devourer of Destruction (+2) seed.]

While Sejun was planting +2 Devourer of Destruction seeds and protecting the peace of the world, Teo was doing business on the 50th floor of the Silver Tower through the peddler’s pack wandering the nine towers.

“Puhu! Now you guys are permanent regular employees of Sejun Company, kkueng!” Teo announced, stamping those who had provoked him.

“Puhu! Originally non-regular employees, but I made them regular employees for the sake of good deeds, kkueng!” Teo said.

Teo was showing kindness because he had to catch Santa soon for Christmas. It seemed like something really big would happen if he showed kindness twice.

“Puhu! Then I’ll start the auction again, kkueng,” Teo declared.

The merchants who were watching Teo were terrified. “It’s the Golden Devil! I feel like I have to buy something! Scary!”
