Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 597

As dinner was ending on the 99th floor of the Black Tower,

“Haha! Let’s raise a toast to Sejun for all his hard work!” Kaiser shouted, lifting his glass.

“Sejun, well done!”

“Thank you for making this such a wonderful time.”

The other leaders, the Great Black Dragons, also raised their glasses, thanking Sejun for preparing the Christmas party.

Then, words appeared in front of Sejun:

[You have received great recognition from the leaders of the Great Nine Dragon Tribes and the Great Black Dragons.]

[Title: Helper of Dragons is enhanced to Title: Useful Helper of Dragons.]

[Now, no matter their status, the Great Dragons will not only avoid disliking you but will also feel favorably towards you.]

“Haa. Useful Helper of Dragons?” Sejun wondered.

He thought this was funny because he felt like he had been helping the dragons for a long time already. “So, I wasn’t useful until now?! The dragons love my food! I already have dragon friends!”

Sejun thought the system was slow to notice what everyone else already knew. Annoyed by the message that felt behind the times, Sejun quickly ignored it and raised his glass with the other Great Dragons.

“To our Sejun!”

“Cheers!”

Everyone clinked their glasses together and finished their drinks. The Great Dragons either continued celebrating or said goodbye to Sejun and left the Black Tower.

A little later,

“Sejun, I’ll be going now,” said Rudion Fritani, the Great Black Dragon, as he prepared to leave.

“Okay. Goodbye, Rudion.”

“Sejun, let’s definitely meet again later.”

“Sure. Rudion, take this.”

“Oh?! Sejun, what’s this?”

“Hehe. What are friends for? Just take it.”

Sejun secretly gave ten bottles of cherry wine to Rudion, his grateful dragon friend who had been the first to suggest they become friends, without the other dragons seeing.

After saying goodbye to Rudion and returning to his seat,

“Hohoho. Sejun, come over here. Where have you been?” Brachio and the other leaders, except for those in the Four Dragon Society, were waiting for Sejun.

“Ah. I just went to say goodbye to Rudion. But what’s the matter?” Sejun asked cautiously, looking at the five leaders around him.

“Muhahaha. Don’t be scared, Sejun. We just came to make a big announcement to you,” Kin replied.

“Yes? A big announcement?!” Sejun tensed up at the words ‘big announcement.’

It seemed like the dragons liked to make groups, like clubs, and they wanted Sejun to know about theirs. “That’s right. Unlike those cheapskate Four Dragon Society guys, we’ve decided to form the Five Dragon Society!” Artemis told Sejun.

The five leaders decided to leave their dragon statues there.

They had asked the Four Dragon Society dragons to join them in creating the Nine Dragon Society but were turned down, so the five of them formed the Five Dragon Society.

“Eh? The Five Dragon Society?!” Sejun felt relieved at the not-so-big announcement. But why are they telling me this?

He didn’t realize that the Great Dragons were recognizing him as the owner of the 99th floor of the Black Tower.

After the Five Dragon Society dragons finished speaking and went back to their seats,

“Ahem. Sejun, you know we came first, right?”

“That’s right. And you remember how much we helped you, don’t you?” This time, the Four Dragon Society dragons approached Sejun, reminding him of the things that had happened between them, chattering for a while before returning to their seats.

As time passed and midnight got closer, the Great Dragons left the 99th floor one by one. Sejun walked with Eileen, talking to her. They enjoyed their time together.

Theo, Kkuenge, and the Blackie family tried to follow Sejun without realizing they were intruding,

“Kkyut! Don’t bother them. Wait quietly here!” Iona stepped in, making time for just Sejun and Eileen.

Iona, thank you. I’ll set up a date for you and Theo later.

Sejun had made a secret deal with Iona.

Sejun enjoyed a nice date alone with Eileen. They talked non-stop for an hour, but he couldn’t quite remember what they had talked about. However…

“Eileen, wait for me. I’ll definitely become stronger.”

“Okay. I’ll wait.”

Sejun asked her to wait, and Eileen said she would. They kissed under the pale moonlight.

And then,

“Sejun, I’ll be going now.”

“Okay.”

[The Christmas Blessing has ended.]

Eileen returned to the administrator area just before midnight, when the Christmas Blessing ended.

However,

[Hehet.]

Blaze was still there.

Even though 50% of her power was sealed, it was still at a level that Sejun couldn’t handle. It was a power that no one could handle except for Kkuenge, the Doomkin. But for some reason, even with Blaze present, nothing happened on the 99th floor.

The reason was…

Hehet. Dalkomi, thank you!

It was because Dalkomi helped Blaze.

Blaze discovered this method shortly after arriving at the Black Tower.

Bzzzt? Bzzzt…

[Blaze, can you share some of your power? I need power to evolve…]

Dalkomi, the Queen of Poison Honeybees, came to Blaze and asked for help.

It was because Santa Sejun gave Dalkomi royal jelly as a Christmas present, allowing her to level up and gain the qualifications to become a demigod like Tory.

Dalkomi was a bee, so she had the racial talent to absorb the power of trees.

Dalkomi initially asked Podori, but

[No way! I’m going to be a dimensional being soon!]

He flatly refused.

[Hehet. As much as you want!]

Thanks to this, Blaze was sharing her power through her roots to Dalkomi, who was evolving by creating a cocoon.

And then,

[Everyone, you guys eat some too.]

Buzz?

To the other poison honeybees as well.

Millions of poison honeybees were each absorbing a small amount of Blaze’s power, weakening her.

Sejun’s future, where he would soon become weaker than the poison honeybees, was being foreshadowed.

The next morning,

Sejun, who had gone to bed early yesterday, woke up earlier than usual.

What’s this? Why does my body feel so light?

Sejun felt that his body had changed and quickly checked the messages that had appeared while he was sleeping.

And then,

[According to your job characteristics, you borrow 1% of the stats of Hamer, the God of Farming, the Top Farmer of the 10th Tower.]

“Huh?!”

He soon understood the reason.

Hamer’s body was completed, and he borrowed 1% of Hamer’s stats.

Sejun checked his stats.

Stats: Strength (38,710/54,778) Stamina (36,874/47,679) Agility (35,509/46,310) Magic Power (37,024/48,082) Mental Strength (10,000/10,000) Divinity (66.6111/100)

“All stats have increased by about 5,000.”

Then… Hamer’s total stats are… 2 million?!

“Wow.”

As expected, gods are amazing.

Sejun’s total stats increased by 20,000 overnight.

“Hehe. I’ve become stronger again.”

Feeling very proud,

“Meow…”

“Squeak…”

He took Theo and the Blackie family outside.

Then,

[Hehet. Good morning, Sejun!] Blaze, who was sunbathing outside, greeted Sejun.

“Yeah. Good morning.”

Sejun greeted Blaze and put Blaze on his shoulder.

He strolled through the farm, letting the crops hear his footsteps, and harvested things to eat for breakfast.

A little while later,

Kkuenge!

[Daddy, did you sleep well!] Kkuenge woke up and came to find Sejun,

“Yeah. Kkuenge, are you hungry? I should start preparing breakfast now.”

Sejun took Kkuenge to the kitchen and started cooking.

Today’s menu was salad, soup, and leftover bread from yesterday.

Since they had eaten too much for both lunch and dinner yesterday, they ate simply for breakfast today.

As breakfast ended,

“Puhuut. President Park, I’ll be off then, meow!”

Kkuenge!

[Kkuenge will bring back good herbs!]

Theo and Kkuenge went to work.

Theo went down the tower, saying he wouldn’t go to another tower today and would check if the employees were doing well.

“I should start working too.”

Sejun, who had been watching Theo and Kkuenge until they were out of sight, also moved to start working.

Click.

He had been neglecting the 10th Tower and Earthworm because he was preparing for Christmas, so he had a lot to do.

Black Tower, 75th floor.

“Alright. Gorina, congratulations on becoming a manager!”

“Congratulations on your promotion, Manager Gorina!”

“You’re really amazing!”

Gorina became a manager at Sejun Company very quickly. She started as an intern only 300 days ago. Everyone was congratulating her.

“Thank you, everyone!” Gorina responded to the congratulations of the other employees by pounding her chest strongly.

However, it’s not enough yet! I need to achieve even greater results and become the vice president of Sejun Company!

Gorina’s ambition could not be satisfied with a position like manager. Gorina was aiming for Theo’s position as the vice president of Sejun Company.

My love, wait just a little longer! I, the third most beautiful woman in the Black Tower, will win you over!

Gorina, the daughter of the gorilla tribe chief, fell in love with Sejun at first sight when she saw him on the 77th floor.

She left her hometown and joined Sejun Company to stand by Sejun’s side, not giving up even after being punched by Kkuenge, and was working hard, eagerly awaiting the day she would meet Sejun.

Then one day.

“Yes?! A regular employee network?” Gorina obtained new information.

“Yeah. It’s said that only regular employees can have conversations, and various information about President Park comes up there.”

Information about Sejun?!

‘I want to use the regular employee network too! I want to know what time Sejun wakes up and what time he goes to bed, and what he eats!’

Gorina wanted the regular employee network.

But becoming a regular employee was more difficult than she thought.

Because you have to either try to kill Sejun or make Theo extremely angry.

Becoming a regular employee at Sejun Company required a considerable amount of bad luck, unlike common sense.

‘How do I make Vice President Theo angry?’

Gorina spent the whole day worrying about how to make Theo angry while diligently handling her work for the day.

However,

[Manager Gorina’s work attitude: Excellent]

She didn’t realize that she was pleasing the person she was supposed to make angry.

Puhuut. Excellent, meow!

Theo was secretly watching Gorina, who was working hard while thinking about how to make him angry.

The irony was beyond words.

If he knew she was aiming for his position, he would have immediately made her a permanently suspended employee, but Theo didn’t have the ability to read Gorina’s mind.

“Puhuut. Gorina, you don’t need to work hard and work for a long time, meow! I should tell them to make her work only 4 days a week from now on, meow!”

Thanks to this, Gorina was getting further and further away from becoming a regular employee, which she desired. And from Sejun too.

>Earthworm>

“Hello, everyone.”

As Sejun came out of the dimensional door,

Kiki!

Kiki!

The Doom Devourers welcomed Sejun.

And then,

Keeheeheet. Squeak!

[Hehet. Everyone, the Great Blackie Leader is here!] Blackie started playing leader with his subordinates and the Doom Devourers.

While the Blackie family was playing,

Plop. Plop.

Sejun planted the Doom Devourer seeds he had brought from the 10th Tower.

At that moment,

Thud.

A lump of thick, red liquid fell from the sky.

It was the Tears of Destruction, which had accidentally entered Jormungandr’s body through a gap where there was no aura of creation.

Wiggle. Wiggle.

The Tears of Destruction began to transform into the closest being, Sejun, according to its instincts,

Plop. Plop. Began to dig the ground to create a place to plant seeds.

The Tears of Destruction were following the habits of the main body.

“Oh. What’s this?” Sejun’s eyes sparkled as he gained a new worker.
