Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 615

The Black Tower, 99th Floor.

“Then let’s do that.”

“Good. Here’s the advance payment.”

Tier gave 1 trillion Top Coins, 10L of Dragon Blood, 5000 scales, and 1kg of claws as an advance payment for Sejun to create a purple Great Tower.

Sejun didn’t really need the items Tier offered, except for the money. But since Tier was offering, Sejun accepted them. It was good to be polite.

If the purple tower became a purple Great Tower, Sejun would get three times the payment as a bonus. Also, Tier, the purple Great Tower merchant, would become a full-time worker for Sejun Company.

As Sejun received the advance payment,

“Phoo-Hoo-Hoot. Thank you, Tier!”

Theo politely thanked Tier, showing sincerity.

Indeed, not just anyone could become a merchant.

“-Hahaha! Excellent. I trust you completely then.”

“Yes. Don’t worry. If you trust us entirely, we’ll make it the 6th Great Tower.”

As Tier left,

“Phoo-Hoo-Hoot. President Park, did I do well?!”

Theo quickly asked Sejun. He seemed eager to have his contribution acknowledged.

“Yes. You did well.”

When Sejun stroked Theo’s head and praised him,

Theo puffed out his chest, his little nose in the air. “Phoo-Hoo-Hoot. I know! I, Vice President Theo, am always good~!”

“Yes. Our Vice President Theo is good.”

Sejun continued to praise Theo,

“Phoo-Hoo-Hoot. I’m so happy!”

The second ultra-giant President Park within happy Theo’s heart also grew rapidly.

While Sejun was stroking Theo’s head,

Kooeng!

Squeak!

Kooeng and Blackie also pushed their heads under Sejun’s remaining hand.

“Yes.”

Sejun used both hands to stroke all three of them evenly.

Purrrr.

Kuroo-purr.

Kiroo-purr.

Soon, the gentle strokes and warm feeling made them all sleepy. They leaned against Sejun, purring softly, and drifted off into a peaceful dream.

Sejun carefully put the Blackie family in the sling bag and carefully picked up Kooeng, rising to his feet.

Theo clung to his knee on his own, so there was no need to take special care of him.

Holding the sleeping Kooeng in his arms, Sejun went to find Pink Fur.

“Kooeng must have been tired today.”

He said, handing Kooeng to Pink Fur.

Koo-ung.

[Thank you, Sejun.]

“It’s nothing. Why are you thanking me between us?”

Sejun replied to Pink Fur’s gratitude, and Pink Fur stared intently at Sejun.

Pink Fur’s large eyes were usually bright and cheerful, but now they looked clouded. Sejun saw a flicker of sadness, then anger, and finally something like giving up in her gaze. It was confusing.

“Pink Fur, is something wrong?”

Sejun asked cautiously, noticing that Pink Fur’s atmosphere was unusual.

Koo-ung. Koo-ung.

[No. Please go to sleep.]

Pink Fur hurriedly brushed off her emotions, hugged Kooeng, and closed her eyes.

What’s wrong?

Unable to ask further, he returned home.

Clouds covered the moon and stars, making the night very dark. The air was still, and the only sounds were Sejun’s footsteps and the soft breathing of the Blackie family in his sling bag.

A little later.

“Batbat is done preparing the meal.”

Sejun prepared the fruits for Batbat to eat.

As soon as he entered the bedroom and put his head on the pillow,

Kuh-aah.

He fell fast asleep.

The next morning.

Slurp.

“Let’s see.”

The smell of grilled fish still lingered in the air as Sejun finished his simple breakfast. He took a sip of hot coffee, the warmth spreading through him, and checked the paper Tier had given him earlier.

[Purple Great Tower Growth Conditions (2/8)]

-Tower Farmer (A) : Achieved

-Create 10 or More New Varieties : Not Achieved (0/10)

-Detoxify 50% or More of the Tower’s Poison : Not Achieved (45%)

-Grow 2 World Trees : Not Achieved (0/2)

-Secure 10,000 or More Pieces of World Energy : Not Achieved

-Possess 15 Divine Objects : Not Achieved (3/15)

-Achieve 3 Great Achievements : Achieved (3/3)

-Increase the Number of Purple Tower Entrances to 120 : Not Achieved (80/120)

What should I solve first?

Sejun pondered, looking at the Purple Great Tower growth conditions.

World Energy should be purified first, so exclude it.

Creating 10 or more new varieties and increasing the number of purple tower entrances to 120 would take too long, so exclude those as well.

He excluded the things that would take a long time.

What Tier wants is for the purple tower to become a Great Tower in the shortest amount of time.

After excluding those, the remaining Purple Great Tower growth conditions for Sejun to choose from were four.

Hehehe. Then I should solve the easiest one first.

“Vice President Theo, take out 13 divine objects.”

“Phoo-Hoo-Hoot. Got it!”

Theo took out the divine objects from his bundle.

However,

“Nyang?!”

There are 3 missing, nyang!

The number of divine objects in the bundle was only 10.

‘I, Vice President Theo, need 3 divine objects, nyang! Gods, quickly give me 3 divine objects, nyang!’

Theo urgently issued instructions to the Sejun Company full-time employee gods.

[The God of Merchants, Herre, sends the Divine Object Automatic Calculation Abacus.]

[The God of Walnuts, Wol, sends the Divine Object Acupressure Walnuts.]

[The God of Axes, Buko, sends the Divine Object Finishing Blow Hand Axe.]

Axe first! Here’s the axe! And a discount for our best workers!

The gods hurriedly sent divine objects to Theo.

“Phoo-Hoo-Hoot. President Park, here are 13 divine objects, nyang!”

Thanks to them, Theo didn’t disappoint Sejun.

“Phoo-Hoo-Hoot. Thank you, everyone, nyang!”

He expressed his gratitude to the gods.

However, there was another reason why the gods responded so quickly to Theo’s request.

A little while ago.

[Sejun Company Vice President Park Theo’s 3 Divine Objects First-Come, First-Served Emergency Quest has been generated.]

[>Leader>Herre’s Pawnshop God of Merchants Herre: Hehe. The hand is faster than the eye!]

[>Leader>Seed Shop Headquarters God of Walnuts Wol: Oh! Success! It was worth waiting since yesterday!]

[>Leader>Combat Shop Headquarters God of Axes Buko: Chopping at once is the essence of axemanship. We are offering a 10% discount on my Vision Skill, One-Chop-One-Kill, skill book specifically for our full-time employees.]

[Sejun Company Vice President Park Theo’s 3 Divine Objects First-Come, First-Served Emergency Quest has been closed.]

[>Leader>Seed Shop Headquarters God of Stone Toga: Ah! I’m late!]

[>Leader>Combat Shop Headquarters God of Spears Spi: Too bad!]

[>Leader>Seed Shop Headquarters God of Sprouts Bude: No! I missed it! Just when I was taking a break!]

The gods of the full-time employee network were regretting not receiving Theo’s quest.

The merchant god Herr, walnut god Wol, and axe god Buto had each been granted 5 Sejun Company welfare points for completing the emergency quest from Sejun Company Vice President Park Theo.

The gods were interested in welfare points because they could get them by doing quests.

Welfare points could be used in various places, but

[Exchanging 5 Sejun Company welfare points for 5000 divine power.]

The gods mainly used welfare points to purchase divine power.

1 welfare point for 1000 divine power.

This was a good reward for making simple divine artifacts.

Just then,

[Black Tower 40th Floor Black Oak King Urchi: Buco, I want to bulk purchase 100 One-Hit-One-Kill skill books.]

Urchi, having fallen for Buco’s salesmanship, left a message,

[>Leader>Combat Shop HQ Axe God Buco: Originally, it’s 9 points with a 10% discount, but since it’s a bulk purchase, I’ll give it to you for 8 points.]

[Black Tower 40th Floor Black Oak King Urchi: Thank you.]

[Black Tower 40th Floor Black Oak King Urchi sends 8 Sejun Company welfare points to >Leader>Combat Shop HQ Axe God Buco.]

The transaction was completed.

Welfare points became a valuable resource that could be created endlessly. Then,

“Thanks, Vice President Theo. The gods are diligently making divine artifacts these days.”

“Puhu! That’s because the great Hybrid Chairman Park is so wonderful, nya!”

“No, it’s because our Vice President Theo is so capable.”

“Puhu! That’s right, nya! I, Vice President Theo, am capable, nya!”

“Wow. This cat has no humility.”

“Puhu! What is humility, nya?! I don’t know such a thing, nya! More importantly, Chairman Park’s face is rotting, nya!”

“It’s not rotting!”

“It is, nya! Rotting… Bakejang, you did well, nya!”

The Chairman and Vice President of Sejun Company, completely unaware of this fact, continued to praise and tease each other, spending their time, which was short but valuable.

After Sejun finished stretching Theo’s cheeks and enjoying his time of retribution and happiness, he released Theo.

“Nya…”

Theo stroked his cheeks and clung to Sejun’s knees again.

“Tier, this is for you.”

Sejun quietly called Tier and handed over 13 divine artifacts.

The reason Sejun quietly called Tier was because Tier had asked him to keep it a secret from the other dragons.

“Is that all?”

Sejun asked Tier.

-Drehaha. Yes. Now, bringing 15 divine artifacts is an overachievement.

Tier checked the conditions for the Purple Tower to grow using the crystal ball. He laughed and said…

“So, 4 out of 8 are now achieved…”

Sejun crossed out ‘Possess 15 divine artifacts’ on the paper listing the Purple Tower’s growth conditions.

And

The answer is always at the scene.

He decided to go to the Purple Tower to solve the rest.

“Everyone!”

Sejun and his party used the waypoint to move to the Purple Tower.

[Arrived at the 99th floor of the Purple Tower.]

…

..

.

When Sejun arrived at the 99th floor of the Purple Tower, he stepped into a circular room made of smooth, purple stone. The air felt still and quiet.

“Welcome, Sejun,” Veronica said with a bright smile.

“Welcome…” A voice followed, sounding much less enthusiastic.

Next to Veronica stood an elf with long, silver hair that fell to her waist. Her eyes were a cold blue, and she wore simple grey robes. She stood stiffly, her arms crossed, and her face was tight with a frown. She clearly did not want to be here.

*‘Why am I in a place like this…’* Choba thought to himself, his expression sour.

As Sejun had guessed, Choba, the subject of the Purple Tower, was very unhappy. He knew that if the Purple Tower grew stronger, he would become a subordinate to Sejun, this human standing before him.

Just then,

Clang.

“Puhu! Chairman Park, I missed you, nya!”

Theo came out of the subspace warehouse and clung to Sejun’s face.

Kkwaeng!

Kking!

Kkwaengi and Ggamangi also came out and jumped on Sejun.

‘Is he a decent person?’

Still, Choba was a little relieved to see him loved by his companions.

“Puhu! Nice to meet you, subject of the Purple Tower, nya! This body is…”

Scary…

Until he saw Theo, who was introducing himself with a wide, mischievous smile and fiddling with a stamp.

While Choba was worrying about his future,

“Veronica, why is the poison detoxification rate here not exceeding 50%?”

Sejun asked Veronica. This seemed like the easiest problem to solve.

“That’s…”

Veronica began to explain.

By planting the detoxification green onion that Sejun gave, most of the poison in the Purple Tower’s land was detoxified.

However, the 66th floor of the Purple Tower.

That was the problem.

No matter how much they detoxified, the number did not exceed 50%, and as time passed, the poison spread again, and the number decreased instead.

“Even after searching every inch of the 66th floor of the tower, we couldn’t find the cause.”

“Really? Veronica, do you have the land document for the 66th floor of the tower?”

“Yes. Here it is.”

Veronica had already prepared the land document and gave it to Sejun.

“Everyone, go back in.”

Sejun had his party enter the subspace warehouse, then

“Then, I’ll be back.”

Whoosh.

He greeted Veronica and Choba, unfolded the land document, and disappeared.

“Sejun, will he be alright?”

Choba asked Veronica with a voice full of worry.

Because he knew how dangerous the 66th floor of the tower was.

“Don’t worry. Theo went with him too.”

“Huh?! That slyly smiling cat from earlier?”

“Yes. There’s nothing Sejun and Theo can’t solve together.”

“Eh?”

Choba looked confused because he didn’t understand Veronica.

[Arrived at the 66th floor of the Purple Tower.]

…

..

.

Sejun arrived at the 66th floor of the tower.

It was dark and the air felt heavy. He could see strange, green mist swirling around his feet.

And

[Infected with a deadly poison.]

[Invincible state.]

[Taking no damage.]

“…Theo, the green onion!”

Clang.

Sejun, having seen the message, hurriedly opened the subspace warehouse,

“Chairman Park, here it is, nya!”

Theo, who had been waiting in front of the door, quickly grabbed a green onion and shoved it into Sejun’s mouth.

There was no need to give it like this!

Crunch. Crunch.

Sejun glared at Theo while chewing on the green onion,

Theo subtly avoided Sejun’s gaze when

Kking!

[Master! The great Ggamangi is dying!]

Ggamangi, the sunfish who was poisoned, called Sejun.
