Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 608

Black Tower, 99th Floor. A strange message flashed across the screens, making everyone pause.

[From now on, communication between regular employees of the Black Tower and the Red Tower will be possible.]

It was official. The Black Tower and the Red Tower, two mysterious places, were now linked. Almost immediately, messages started flooding in. The first one was from someone called Green Goblin Paku, on the 59th floor of the Black Tower. His message was rude and bossy:

[Black Tower 59th Floor, Green Goblin Paku: Listen up, Red Tower lot! You’re below me now, so you better greet me when you see my messages. Just so you know, I’ve been here for 148 days. Show some respect!]

Even before anyone could react, Paku was already trying to act like he was in charge.

[Red Tower 33rd Floor, Red Skunk No. 23: Who are you to tell us to greet you or not?!]

[Red Tower 43rd Floor, Red Monkey Mongo: Greetings?! You’re the ones who should be greeting us! This place is ours, the Red Outlaw Gang!]

The new Red Tower employees immediately protested.

[Red Tower 87th Floor, Loser ‘Loyal Employee’ Red Fox Bayon: This is embarrassing. They’re new recruits who just came in, so they don’t have any manners yet. Give me an hour, and I’ll sort it out.]

Bayon, humiliated by the sight he showed the Black Tower employees, gritted his teeth and left a message.

“Go and train them!”

“Yes!”

The Red Foxes, having received Bayon’s orders, headed to the lower floors to teach the new recruits some manners. While the Red Foxes were moving to train the new recruits,

[Black Tower 99th Floor, Boss Uma King: Balok, now you’re the youngest squad leader.]

Uma King was about to give Balok the position of youngest squad leader.

However,

[Red Tower 99th Floor, Boss Battle Maniac Balok: No! That’s not right! I’m way stronger than him! I should be the youngest squad leader, not Uma King!]

If Uma King had been standing in front of him, Balok wouldn’t have dared to say such a thing. But Balok had never actually met Uma King. Also, as a battle maniac, Balok couldn’t accept becoming the youngest without a fight.

At that moment,

[Battle Shop Headquarters, God of Fighting, Battler: I’ll determine which of you two is stronger.]

Seeing that the squad leader situation was taking too long to resolve, Battler, who hadn’t said much until now, stepped in. Uma King was the youngest squad leader because the God of Fighting, Battler, and the God of Hunting, Hunt, approved by Theo, were above him.

[Battle Shop Headquarters, God of Fighting Battler uses .]

Uma King and Balok appeared in a virtual space, ready to fight.

The two began to battle, and then,

[The virtual battle results are in.]

[Black Tower 99th Floor, Boss Uma King’s win rate (100%)]

[Red Tower 99th Floor, Boss Battle Maniac Balok’s win rate (0%)]

Uma King won overwhelmingly.

[Black Tower 99th Floor, Boss Uma King: Now you’re the youngest.]

[Red Tower 99th Floor, Boss Battle Maniac Balok: Yes, sir!]

Balok, who had been soundly defeated by Uma King in the virtual battle, quickly agreed that he was the youngest.

While the squad leaders’ positions were being decided, the vice squad leaders’ positions were also being finalized.

[Red Tower 87th Floor, Loser ‘Loyal Employee’ Red Fox Bayon: Oh! Pink Fur! Elka! It’s you! Vice squad leaders! It’s an honor to be in your presence! Bayon here, reporting for duty as the youngest vice squad leader! Pleased to meet you!]

Bayon knew how to suck up to the higher-ups. He had already met Pink Fur, Elka, and other vice squad leaders on the 99th floor of the Black Tower, so he wasn’t about to cause any trouble.

Just as the hierarchy of squad leaders and vice squad leaders in the regular employee communication network was coming to an end,

[Red Tower 43rd Floor, Red Monkey Mongo: Greetings! My name is Red Monkey Mongo!]

[Red Tower 33rd Floor, Red Skunk No. 23: Greetings! Red Skunk… Poooof! Sorry for farting. This is Red Skunk No. 23!]

The new recruits, who had been trained by the older Red Foxes, began to send their greetings.

And

[Black Tower 63rd Floor, Boss Stone Lizardman Heta: So, I don’t have to do morning greetings anymore, right?]

Heta thought he was finally free from being the youngest, but

[Black Tower 59th Floor, Green Goblin Paku: No. What silly talk is that, Heta?! Of course, you still have to do it!]

[Black Tower 63rd Floor, Boss Stone Lizardman Heta: Yes…]

Paku’s pettiness knew no bounds.

“Aileen, share this with Ace.”

Sejun, who had prepared lunch, sent the food to Aileen.

“Kkamang, eat a lot.”

Hee hee hee! Squeak!

[Hee hee! Okay!]

Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.

He had lunch with Kkamang while watching Sejun No. 3’s swordsmanship training. It was clear that without Bbozzi’s guidance, there was no progress. Sejun missed Bbozzi’s swordsmanship lessons.

A little later, Sejun and Kkamang’s family finished lunch.

“I have to go back to work.”

He moved to the dimensional gate connected to Earth Um.

[Hehe. Sejun, I have a feeling there will be good news today.]

“Heh heh heh. Is that so? Flame and Kkamang, wait here for a moment.”

Sejun put Flame and Kkamang’s family down and went through the dimensional gate first, just in case there were Tears of Destruction. What if the Tears of Destruction turned into Kkamang’s family?

“It’s a disaster. What good are sunfish? Heh heh heh.”

Sejun entered Earth Um, laughing like a fool. “Huh?!” Before Sejun, the Tears of Destruction rippled and transformed into Sejun’s appearance. Flame had found a new route without the energy of creation. That’s why Flame said there would be good news.

Whoosh. Whoosh.

Meanwhile, seven Destruction Sejuns clumsily threw punches and charged at Sejun.

“Hey guys, welcome! Take this.”

Sejun easily dodged their punches and handed them seeds of the Devourer of Destruction.

Plop. Plop.

The Destruction Sejuns began to plant the seeds without complaint.

“Time to go home.”

Thanks to the seven Destruction Sejuns helping today, he was able to leave work earlier than Theo and Kkuenge at the Black Tower.

“Shall I have bibim noodles for dinner for the first time in a while? Hmm hmm hmm.”

Sejun boiled eggs and shredded vegetables, like cucumbers, while waiting for his friends to arrive.

At that moment,

Kkueng! Kkueng!

[Dad, Kkuenge is here! Dad, take this!]

Kkuenge came into the kitchen and handed Sejun three roots of medicinal herbs:

[Deep Blue Potential Kudzu Root]

[3-Month-Old Magical Turmeric]

[3-Month-Old Magical Potential Peppermint]

“Oh. Kkuenge, I’ll enjoy it.”

Sejun immediately ate the medicinal herb roots that Kkuenge gave him.

Crunch. Crunch.

There was no unfortunate incident of chewing soil because Kkuenge had washed them well.

[You have consumed Deep Blue Potential Kudzu Root.]

[All stats potential has increased by 100.]

While Sejun was eating the herbs,

Sniff sniff.

Kkuenge?

[Dad, is it bibim noodles for dinner today?]

Kkuenge sniffed the air and guessed the dinner menu.

“Oh? Uh.”

How did he know? Kkuenge’s amazing sense of smell allowed him to guess the dinner menu just by smelling the ingredients, even before the bibim noodle package was opened.

“Wash your hands and wait. Let’s eat together when Vice Chairman Theo comes. Aileen will eat too, right?”

Kkuhehehe. Kkueng!

[Hehehe. Okay!]

At Sejun’s words, Kkuenge washed his hands and helped Sejun prepare the food by placing spoons on the table.

[The Tower’s Administrator says it’s obvious.]

[The Tower’s Administrator says that one box of bibim noodles wasn’t enough last time and asks for one and a half boxes to be cooked.]

“Okay. I got it.”

Heh heh heh. As expected, Aileen also finds one serving of bibim noodles insufficient. Sejun was pleased that he and Aileen thought alike. He began to tear open the packages and put the noodles in a huge pot with Kkuenge.

At that moment,

As Sejun’s vision darkened,

“…You’re here?”

“Meow…”

He raised his hand to his face and pulled Theo off.

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I’m off work, meow!”

“Okay. Good job. Wash up quickly. Let’s eat.”

“Puhuhut. Okay, meow!”

At Sejun’s words, Theo hurriedly licked his front paws, preparing to eat grilled fish.

“Shari. Make ice.”

Peep!

Sejun made ice water with Shari’s help and put the boiled noodles in the ice water to make them chewy. He added the bibim noodle sauce and mixed it all together while humming a cheerful song. He put plenty of eggs, shredded cucumbers, and pears on top of the well-mixed bibim noodles.

“Aileen, here.”

After sending the bibim noodles to Aileen, Sejun began to enjoy the bibim noodles with Kkuenge.

“Puhuhut. As expected, the grilled fish baked by the great Hybrid Chairman Park is the best, meow!”

Hee hee hee! Squeak!

[Hee hee! Roasted sweet potato jerky is the best!]

Theo and Kkamang’s family also enjoyed the food Sejun gave them. As the pleasant dinner came to an end,

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, come quickly and see the achievements of Vice Chairman Theo, meow! I earned a lot today, meow!”

Theo, sitting on Sejun’s lap, began to take out the spoils one by one from his bundle with a confident expression.

“Heh heh heh. Where shall we look?”

Sejun, knowing through the message that Theo had made a big score, looked at Theo’s bundle with great anticipation.

“Puhuhut. This is it, meow!”

Theo took out the things he had obtained from the 27th floor of the Red Tower one by one from his bundle. There were many money pouches and some equipment, but no particularly good equipment.

“Should I send this to Earth?”

Sejun thought about his family on Earth. The equipment wasn’t great by Sejun’s standards, but each piece would be worth billions of won on Earth. He could sell the equipment and use the money for his family’s living expenses, putting the rest in his bank account.

“Heh heh heh. I’m rich.”

Sejun laughed, imagining the huge amount of money being deposited into his account. He already had enough money to exceed Earth’s economy, but the feeling of money going into his Earth bank account was different. Before Sejun entered the tower, his bank account balance had been very low.

“Chairman Park, come to your senses, meow! Look at me, meow!”

Theo called Sejun, as the boasting about the spoils wasn’t over yet.

“Okay.”

As Sejun turned his gaze to Theo,

“Puhuhut. Next is this, meow!”

Theo took out three jewels from his bundle:

[Jewel of Fire]

[Jewel of Water]

[Jewel of Wind]

The jewels had similar descriptions to the Jewel of Earth he had obtained before. Absorbing the power of each attribute would release the sealed soul of a god.

“Huh?!”

At the same time, a good idea came to him. Most of the sealed gods had been sealed after being defeated by the Apostles of Destruction, so the ones who tied the knot should untie it. It seemed right for Kkamang’s family to release the seals themselves.

“Guys, you release these seals.”

He handed the jewels to Kkamang’s family. Mubalchil took the fire attribute, Shari, Meokppupal, and Leviathan took the water attribute, and

Squawk!

[I’ll take this!]

Karreureu took the wind attribute. With the jewel assignments completed,

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, next is this, meow!”

Theo took out another item from his bundle: four land deeds for the 28th, 60th, and 75th floors of the Red Tower and the 77th floor of the Blue Tower.

“Oh. Vice Chairman Theo, well done!”

Sejun praised Theo after seeing the Blue Tower land deed. He hadn’t been able to find the Blue Tower land deed lately, so he hadn’t been able to explore the Creation God’s monument.

“Puhuhut. The great Hybrid Chairman Park, Vice Chairman Theo is good at everything and amazing, meow!”

Theo immediately looked proud at Sejun’s praise and answered in an arrogant voice.

“Okay. Our Vice Chairman Theo is great.”

Sejun grabbed Theo and lifted him high.

Kkueng!

Squeak!

Kkuenge and Kkamang raised their two front paws, waiting for their turn.

“No. Why this? Oof.”

Sejun grumbled and lifted Kkuenge and Kkamang above his head.

“Now, let’s go!”

Swish.

He used the Blue Tower 77th floor land deed and disappeared from the Black Tower 99th floor. The moonlight and starlight of the Black Tower densely filled the spot where Sejun had disappeared.
