Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 599

“Meow…”

The rotten Chairman Park is multiplying! We need a plan!

Theo thought hard, his small nose wrinkling. He needed to figure out how to deal with the multiplying Chairman Parks, who were now all over the room, like too many bugs crawling on the floor.

Of course, he already knew the answer.

“We need to fix Chairman Park’s face!”

If they fixed the original, everything would be solved. The Doom Sejuns were copies of Sejun’s face, after all.

Whoosh!

So, Theo burned all of Sejun’s things and…

Squish. Squish.

…stomped on Sejun’s face with all his might, his small paws flattening the paper with angry force.

“Vice Chairman Theo?”

Thanks to that, Sejun’s face was crumpled.

Then, the 100 trillion Topcoins that Theo earned from his job quest burst into flames, a tower of gold fire that lit up the room.

A moment later…

“Hey! What are you doing spending all that money on my face?!”

“Chairman Park, I used all the money to fix you! But I couldn’t help it!”

Theo’s cheeks were pinched by Sejun.

Still, burning so much money had an effect. Sejun’s face became smooth and young, like the kind Santa Sejun in the stories.

And as the real Sejun’s face changed, the copied Sejun’s faces changed too.

Sadly, the effect only lasted for 10 minutes before his face started to rot away, with dark lines appearing, like mold growing on bread, and his skin looked like it was falling apart.

“I’m glad Chairman Park’s face isn’t rotting as much!”

The effect of spending 100 trillion Topcoins was small, but Theo seemed happy, clinging to Sejun’s lap and humming.

Kooeng~ Kooeng~

Kooeng, who was clinging to Sejun’s side, was also excited and humming along.

At that moment…

Hee hee hee. Squeak!

[Hee hee. Butler! The great Blackie has brought money!]

Blackie brought the money that the Doom Sejun had dropped to Sejun and asked…

Squeak! Squeak?

[Butler! The great Blackie did five good deeds today! Does that mean I only have to do one good deed tomorrow?]

He tried to bargain, acting all high and mighty.

“No.”

Sejun refused firmly.

“And I don’t think this is a good deed.”

Squeak?!

No. He completely rejected Blackie’s so-called good deeds.

Blackie was supposed to be making up for bad things, but what he was doing now was not helping at all. The real reason for Blackie’s good deeds was forgotten.

‘I need to make him do something that can really make up for what he did.’

That way, he can be punished less later.

“Hmm.”

What could that be?

Butler is bad!

Sejun stroked Blackie’s head as Blackie looked at him unhappily, and thought hard.

Meanwhile…

Hee hee hee.

Blackie seemed to have calmed down and laid on his back, letting Sejun stroke his belly, wagging his tail hopefully, his big eyes looking up at Sejun, begging for a ‘yes’.

As Sejun stroked Blackie’s belly, he kept thinking about what Blackie should do to atone, and…

“Vice Chairman Theo, please call Herr.”

“Alright! Herr, come out!”

He decided to ask for advice from Herr, the God of Merchants, whom he could call anytime through Theo.

However…

[The God of Merchants, Herr, refuses to talk, saying that he is not free to be called at any time.]

Herr, feeling brave because of his impeachment veto, refused Theo’s call, and…

“Then Herr, it’s impeachment time!”

Theo immediately started the impeachment vote.

[Black Tower’s Luck-Based Tycoon, Park Theo, is trying to impeach the God of Merchants, Herr.]

[The slaves, Black Tower Tycoons Mimir, Yuren, Jeto, Ninir, Machun, and Magin, automatically agree with Black Tower Tycoon Park Theo’s opinion.]

[The slaves, Green Tower Tycoons Turbo, Shark…]

[The slaves, Golden Tower Tycoons Uto, Marin…]

[The opinion of a Tower Tycoon is counted as 2 votes.]

Theo had gathered 10 Tycoons for the system impeachment.

Jeto and Uto hadn’t done anything wrong, but they willingly gave Theo their stamps.

Theo, who started the impeachment vote, got 18 votes in favor.

[Rolling the dice to determine the votes of the Luck-Based Tycoon.]

[The dice numbers range from 1 to 6.]

Theo’s votes were decided by rolling the dice.

And…

[The dice number is 6.]

[Luck-Based Tycoon Park Theo’s opinion is counted as 6 votes.]

As expected of a Luck-Based Tycoon, the highest number, 6, came out.

[24 votes in favor of impeaching the God of Merchants, Herr, have been cast.]

As the vote count ended…

[More than 50% of the total 36 votes are in favor of impeaching the God of Merchants, Herr.]

[Impeaching the God of Merchants, Herr.]

Herr was impeached right away without a vote.

[The God of Merchants, Herr, uses his impeachment veto.]

Herr used his impeachment veto to reject the impeachment and then…

[The God of Merchants, Herr, says in a confident voice, ‘You cat bastard! I’m not afraid of impeachment anymore!’]

He spoke proudly to Theo.

Then…

“Then it’s impeachment time again!”

Theo started the impeachment vote again and…

[Black Tower’s Luck-Based Tycoon, Park Theo, is trying to impeach the God of Merchants, Herr.]

… … …

[The God of Merchants, Herr, uses his impeachment veto.]

Herr used up both of his impeachment vetoes in an instant.

And…

“Impeachment again…”

As Theo impeached again…

[The God of Merchants, Herr, says that he was wrong.]

[The God of Merchants, Herr, says let’s solve this with a conversation.]

Herr, who had run out of impeachment vetoes, quickly asked for a conversation and groveled before Theo, his voice trembling, “Please, no more impeachment! I was wrong!”

“If you act up again, it’s really impeachment time!”

[The God of Merchants, Herr, says that he will never act up again.]

[Impeachment Veto]

It was actually Herr’s gift, but also a trap. Santa Sejun was someone Theo cared about. Of course, he would never betray Theo.

As the hierarchy was sorted out…

“Herr, what kind of work would be good for Blackie to do to make up for what he did?”

Sejun asked Herr through Theo, and…

“Herr says that the fastest way to atone is for Blackie to fix the karma he caused himself!”

Theo told him Herr’s opinion.

“Fix the karma he caused himself?”

“That’s right! He says it’s best to go and ask for forgiveness or fix it directly!”

“Really? Then where should we go to fix the karma?”

Sejun asked back…

“Herr, where should we go? You said you don’t know?! Herr, are you kidding?! Do you want to be impeached?!”

Theo started to get angry while asking Herr.

A moment later…

[The God of Merchants, Herr, says there is one way.]

Herr, grilled by Theo, desperately came up with a way.

“So, if Blackie embraces the energy of the world, it will help him atone a bit?”

“That’s right! He says you can apologize to the souls in the world’s energy!”

Theo explained what was happening. He said the world’s energy had pieces of old, broken worlds and the spirits of those who died.

So, if Blackie said sorry to these spirits, it would be a small way to make up for what he did.

“Good,” Sejun said.

Theo said the world’s energy would now help Blackie say sorry.

Sejun had an idea to help Blackie. “Blackie,” he said, “you need to say sorry one hundred times every day. Do you understand?”

Blackie whimpered softly, then barked loudly, “Yes, Master! I understand! I will do my best! From now on, call me Blackie the Great Apologizer!” He looked very serious as he barked.

Then, *Kki-rong. Eom-ro-rong. Kki-ru-rung.* The Blackie Family started saying sorry to the spirits.

Sejun watched them, a little worried. “They’re not making the spirits forgive them by being scary, are they?” he thought. He looked at the Blackie Family, who had become very still. They seemed to have fallen asleep.

Two drops of the Tears of Destruction, which seemed to be attracted by the fire nearby, fell from the sky.

But this time, *wobble, wobble*, they changed into Theo! The real Theo, who was always sitting on Sejun’s knee, was closer.

The Theo copies, the Destruction Theos, rushed towards Sejun very fast – *whoosh!* They used their special move, “Nyanbo!”

“Nyang! Chairman Park’s knee is mine!” shouted the real Theo. He jumped up to fight the copies who wanted to take his place on Sejun’s knee.

*Bang! Kwa-gwang!* Theo and the two Theo copies crashed into each other with a loud explosion. Dust and smoke flew everywhere.

*Kku-eng!* “[Dad, Kku-eng is coming from behind!]” Kku-eng shouted. Kku-eng quickly grew bigger and bigger, making himself a shield to protect Sejun and the sleeping Blackie Family.

A moment later, the dust settled. “Puhuhu. I won! Chairman Park, I earned money!” Theo said proudly. He was holding the two Theo copies, who were now very still. The copies couldn’t beat Theo because he had so much “knee energy” from being with Sejun all the time.

Even with all the noise, *plop, plop*, the Destruction Sejuns kept planting the Destruction Seeds, not even looking at the fight.

Sejun watched them for a moment, then decided to leave them. “Let’s go home,” he said.

Sejun returned to the 99th floor of the Black Tower.

“Kkyuk! Kkyuk! Sejun, no! You have to twist your wrist more! Swing it from here!”

Sejun looked around. Bbozzi, the small bird, was there, flapping his wings and pointing with his beak at… another Sejun! This other Sejun, who Sejun realized must be Sejun No. 3, was practicing swinging a wooden sword. Bbozzi was teaching him.

“Bbo-Sabu!” Sejun called out to Bbozzi.

“Kkyuk?!” Bbozzi looked up, surprised. “Why are there two Sejuns?” he chirped, tilting his head.

Sejun No. 3, still swinging his sword, looked back and forth between the two Bbozzis, confused.

At that moment, Sejun noticed something strange. Even though Sejun No. 3 was swinging the sword with all his might, there was no sound. It was like the sword was cutting through air, but making no noise. At the same moment, Sejun felt a rush of new understanding in his mind about how to use a sword with magic. It was like he suddenly knew more about ‘Beginner Mana Swordsmanship.’

A message appeared in his mind: *Your Beginner Mana Swordsmanship skill has become much better! It is now Level 4!*

“Huh?!” Sejun said out loud. “The skill level goes up like this too?!”

Sejun thought quickly. ‘If Sejun No. 3 keeps practicing with Bbo-Sabu, he can get even better at swordsmanship! And if I get the understanding from him, maybe I can finally learn that special move Bbo-Sabu was going to teach me last time – Beginner Aura Swordsmanship!’

“Kkyuk! Kkyuk! I can’t teach you now. I’m busy!” Bbozzi said quickly.

“Why?” Sejun asked, surprised. “You’re single, Bbo-Sabu. What could you be busy with?”

“That’s right!” Theo added. “Why aren’t you helping Chairman Park when you’re single?”

Bbozzi suddenly looked very sad. It felt like his heart had dropped. “Cruel world,” he thought.

“Kkyuk! Kkyuk!” Bbozzi shouted. “I’m looking for a bride! I will find a bride this year!”

“Oh!” Sejun said, feeling bad. “Bbo-Sabu, I’m sorry…”

“Bbo-Sabu, I’m sorry…” Theo echoed, because Sejun had apologized.

“Bbo-Sabu, don’t worry!” Sejun said, trying to be helpful. “I’ll help you find a bride! Even though I might not look like much, I’m actually very important here in the Black Tower. Just tell me what kind of bride you want!”

“Kkyuk! Kkyuk!” Bbozzi said right away. “I want a bride with lots of fur! Black fur! I don’t like white fur. It reminds me of bad times.”

“Lots of black fur…” Sejun thought.

“Puhuhu. Chairman Park,” Theo said confidently, “I know a bride with lots of black fur!”

“Oh really?” Sejun asked, interested. “Theo, bring her here tomorrow.”

“Puhuhu. I will!”

“Bbo-Sabu,” Sejun said, turning back to Bbozzi, “will you teach me swordsmanship while we wait?”

“Kkyuk! Kkyuk! Yes! I’ll help you master Beginner Mana Swordsmanship today!” Bbozzi said, happy to have something to do while waiting for his bride. He decided he would stay on the 99th floor until he met her.

Later, Sejun quietly asked Theo, “So, who is this bride you’re going to introduce to Bbozzi?”

“Puhuhu. It’s a bride Chairman Park knows too!”

“I know her?”

“That’s right! It’s Gorina!” Theo said, looking very pleased with himself.

“What?!” Sejun said, shocked. He knew Gorina! She *did* have a lot of black fur…

“What’s wrong?” Theo asked, looking innocent.

*This Theo is really mischievous,* Sejun thought. *And he doesn’t even know it!*

“Theo,” Sejun said slowly, “bring her… very slowly.”

“Puhuhu. I understand!”

Sejun smiled a little. He was just as mischievous as Theo, really.
