Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 620

“Heh heh heh. I don’t negotiate with sunfish.”

Theo rubbed his hands together excitedly. “If the Golden Tower becomes a Giant Tower, Uto and Marine will each support us more! And if we can convince the traders from the Silver and Brown Towers to join us…”

While Theo, who had been allowed by Chrisella and Grave to recruit the merchants of the Silver and Brown Towers if he succeeded in growing the Giant Tower, was excitedly calculating the votes to make a change,

Sejun, these are the conditions for our Silver Tower’s Giant Tower growth.

“Yes, let’s see,”

Sejun looked at the paper Chrisella gave him and checked the Silver Giant Tower growth conditions.

[Silver Giant Tower Growth Conditions (1/8)]

-Tower Farmer (Rank B): Achieved

-Create 5 or More New Varieties: Not Achieved (0/1)

-Weaken the Tower’s Wind by 50% or More: Not Achieved (35%)

-Grow 3 World Trees: Not Achieved (1(Pose)/3)

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

-Possess 7 Divine Objects: Not Achieved (0/7)

-Achieve 3 Great Achievements: Achieved (2/3)

-Increase the Number of Violet Tower Entrances to 120: Not Achieved (85/120)

“Hmm.”

One…

Only one condition out of eight had been met.

Moreover, almost none of the other conditions were close to being fulfilled.

A much worse situation than with the Violet Giant Tower.

“The situation is very bad,”

Sejun told Chrisella honestly.

“Sejun, you’re not going to give up, are you?”

Chrisella was worried that Sejun might give up on the request.

“Hey. Give up? Giving up isn’t in my vocabulary.”

Sejun might be called ‘Sunfish’ as an insult, but he was very determined.

“Instead, I need more sincerity.”

He clearly wanted more money.

“Theo, tell Lady Chrisella to show more sincerity!”

At Sejun’s words, Theo also got excited and demanded money.

“Alright.”

Chrisella quickly prepared the money and handed it to Sejun.

“Heh heh heh. Thank you. Then let’s start right away. Vice Chairman Theo, give me eight divine objects.”

Sejun demanded divine objects from Theo.

“Alright! Gods, our great Hybrid Chairman Park needs eight divine objects! Quickly give him divine objects!”

Thus, Sejun’s order was delivered to all the Gods who work for him through Theo.

[Sejun Company Vice Chairman Park Theo’s urgent quest for 8 divine objects on a first-come, first-served basis has been generated.]

[>Leader>Seed Shop Headquarters, God of Battle, Battler: Hahaha. 1st place!]

[>Leader>Hall of Her, God of Pawnshops, Her: Ah! My 1st place!]

[>Leader>Battle Shop Headquarters, God of Creation, Spi: 3rd place!]

[Sejun Company Vice Chairman Park Theo’s urgent quest for 8 divine objects on a first-come, first-served basis has been closed.]

The gods quickly sent Theo eight divine objects.

[>Leader>Seed Shop Headquarters, God of Seedlings, Bood: I failed again ㅜㅜ]

“Chairman Park, here they are!”

As Theo handed Sejun the eight divine objects,

“Lady Chrisella, here you go.”

Sejun handed the eight divine objects he received to Chrisella.

“Then is possessing seven divine objects an overachievement?”

Chrisella nodded at Sejun’s question.

“Already?”

“This easily?”

Artemis and Grave, who were watching from the side, were amazed by Sejun’s ability.

Sejun had exceeded one of the Giant Tower growth conditions in such a short time.

“Next is…”

After pondering while looking at the paper,

“I’ll stop here for today. The rest will take time.”

He told the dragons they could go now.

And headed to the portal that connected to Earthworm.

“Follow me in a bit.”

Sejun left the group behind and entered Earthworm first.

“Hello, everyone.”

He greeted the three new Calamity Sejuns. Only seven of the previous Calamity Sejuns remained.

The other eight had turned into eight drops of the young Creation God’s tears.

One of the Calamity Devourers handed Sejun the eight drops of tears it was holding in a leaf.

“Thank you. Here you go.”

As soon as Sejun received the tears, he sent them to Emila.

[You have completed the quest 8 times.]

[You have acquired 40 drops of the Great Growth Elixir as a quest completion reward.]

He received the reward.

Adding one drop to the two drops he was going to give before…

While Sejun was calculating the elixir to feed his companions,

“Chairman Park, I missed you!”

The group crossed the portal and joined Sejun.

“Okay. Theo, open your mouth first.”

Sejun tried to feed Theo the elixir first, but

“Let the weak Chairman Park eat it!”

Theo refused with a look that said there was no way.

It was subtly, no, clearly unpleasant.

I must feed him!

Sejun was furious at being ignored.

“If you eat this, I’ll give you exclusive rights to my lap for a week?”

Could he refuse this?

He tempted Theo with his ultimate move.

“Give it to me quickly! I opened my mouth!”

Theo immediately fell for Sejun’s lap time, which no one wanted, and opened his mouth.

Heh heh. He was going to eat it anyway…

Sejun, with the expression of a victor, dropped three drops of the Great Growth Elixir into Theo’s mouth.

“Chairman Park, then how long can I, Vice Chairman Theo, have Chairman Park’s lap now?!”

Theo, who swallowed the elixir, asked Sejun.

“Since a week has been added, it’s 10 years, 8 months, and 24 days.”

Sejun calculated the date and answered.

Theo’s monopoly period, which had been steadily accumulating Sejun’s lap time, was considerable.

“I’m happy!”

Theo, with a happy expression at Sejun’s answer, clung to Sejun’s lap.

“Okay. Now it’s Kkuengi’s turn.”

Sejun said, turning to the next target.

Kkuengi is okay! Weak Daddy eats it!

As expected of a loyal son, Kkuengi was trying to yield the Great Growth Elixir to the weak Sejun.

Kkuengi thought, ‘I won’t be tricked like Theo!’

Having seen Theo completely fall for Sejun in front of him, he had strengthened his resolve even more.

“Daddy has some to eat too. So let’s both eat it, Kkuengi.”

Sejun tried to persuade Kkuengi again, but

No! Even if Daddy eats 5000 drops of the Great Growth Elixir, Kkuengi is much stronger! So Daddy eats it!

Kkuengi strongly refused, saying the largest number he knew.

Sejun felt a little hurt by Kkuengi’s words, even though they were true.

It was fortunate that the largest number Kkuengi knew was 5000; if it had been larger, Sejun would have been even more hurt.

Kkuengi really didn’t want to eat it.

Sejun sighed. “Okay, then.”

“Then Kkuengi can eat honey instead of the elixir.”

Sejun chuckled, rubbing his hands together. “Heh heh heh. Goodie! This will work perfectly!” He carefully mixed a few shimmering drops of the Great Growth Elixir into a spoonful of golden honey. The sweet scent filled the air. He offered the honey to Kkuenge. “Here you go, Kkuenge.”

Kkuenge happily lapped up the honey, his little tongue moving quickly. Suddenly, a message popped up in front of Sejun:

[Kkuenge has consumed a Great Growth Elixir.]

“Huh?” Sejun blinked, then grinned. “Heh heh. Just as planned! Much easier than chasing him with a dropper.”

Sejun successfully fed the Great Growth Elixir to Theo and Kkuenge.

Blackie, who had been watching his older brothers, puffed out his chest and copied them. “Kkihihit. Kking! [Heehee. Butler! The Great Blackie-nim will only open his mouth if you give him 10 dried sweet potatoes!]” He seemed to think this was how you got treats now.

“Heh heh heh. I don’t negotiate with sunfish,” Sejun said with a chuckle.

Kking···

[Why only us···]

Sejun just chuckled. “No deals with sunfish.” He gently but firmly opened each of the Blackie family’s mouths and gave them the elixir.

After feeding the Great Growth Elixir to all his companions,

Gulp.

Sejun swallowed the remaining 25 drops of the elixir.

[You have consumed 25 drops of the Great Growth Elixir.]

[You have gained 250 million experience.]

[The lowest stat, Strength, increases by 2500.]

[Seed Shop Lv. 5 proficiency increases.]

[Harvesting Lv. 9 proficiency increases.]

[Harvesting Lv. 9 proficiency is full, and the level increases.]

[Harvesting has been mastered.]

This time, the level of the Harvesting skill increased, and Harvesting finally reached the Master level.

Sejun read the message about the Master level. “Harvesting skill… Master level effect: crop grade increases every 1000 harvests of the same crop?” He thought for a moment. “Wow! So, if I keep picking green onions, they’ll get even better and better!”

Sejun was excited at the thought of eating SS-grade crops.

Kkihihit. Kking!

[Heehee. It’s SS-grade!]

Blackie, next to him, was also excited at the thought of eating SS-grade dried sweet potatoes.

As soon as the elixir feeding was over,

“Summon Kwin.”

Sejun suddenly summoned Kwin, the top farmer of the Silver Tower.

[Summoning Kwin Beretta, honorary employee of the Silver Tower.]

“Oh! Sejun-nim! Hello! It’s good to see you again,” Kwin said with a polite bow.

“Yeah, nice to see you too,” Sejun replied.

“Here.”

Sejun handed Kwin the Seed of the Devouring Destroyer.

Kwin looked surprised. “Huh?” he asked. “Why this?”

“You’ll be with me until you become an A-grade tower farmer.”

“Sorry?” Kwin said, confused. “Why do you need this seed?”

The reason Sejun summoned Kwin was to make Kwin an A-grade tower farmer to exceed the conditions for becoming a B-grade tower farmer.

After calculating, it seemed like one of the Giant Tower growth conditions would be lacking.

Heh heh heh. I’ll make you work.

Sejun smiled at Kwin and began to plant the Seed of the Devouring Destroyer, and

Kking?! Kking!

[Hey! Can’t you see our butler is working?! Work faster!]

Blackie urged Kwin, barking fiercely in his own way.

After planting seeds for about 2 hours,

Suddenly, a bright blue light erupted from Kwin, like a wave of pure energy, then faded quickly.

Kwin had become an A-grade farmer.

Kwin’s job experience was already quite full.

Sejun sighed slightly. “Already?” he thought. He had hoped Kwin would take longer to reach A-grade. More work for Sejun then!

“Oh! Sejun-nim, thank you for making me an A-grade tower farmer!” Kwin said gratefully.

Kkihihit. Kking.

[Heehee. As expected, it’s quick when the Great Blackie-nim is around.]

Blackie was proud of himself.

“Ahem. Kwin, congratulations on becoming an A-grade tower farmer. You can go back now,” Sejun said in a cool manner and sent him back to the Silver Tower.

“Alright, let’s go.”

As Sejun returned to the Black Giant Tower,

-Sejun, thank you. Just now, one of the Giant Tower growth conditions changed from ‘achieved’ to ‘exceeded’! Thanks to you, 4 out of 8 Giant Tower growth conditions have already been met!

-What? Then half of them are achieved?! It was said it would take time, but it was only two hours?!

-Sejun, if you want to use Oric, bring him anytime.

The lower-ranked dragons who came to see Sejun chattered in excited voices. Unintentionally, Sejun was once again recognized for his abilities by the dragons.

-Our Sejun must be tired, so let’s stop bothering him and go now.

After Krisella finished speaking to the other two dragons,

-Sejun, this is our Golden Tower’s Giant Tower growth condition.

-This is our Brown Tower’s…

Artemis and Grave slyly handed Sejun papers with the Giant Tower growth conditions written on them.

-You guys need to keep your order! Sejun, don’t accept them!

Krisella got angry, worried that it would interfere with growing the Silver Giant Tower, but

“I’ll take them for now.”

Sejun took the papers. It’s easier to know in advance what will take time.

After the Five Dragon Association dragons left, Sejun went to the kitchen to prepare and eat dinner.

After finishing dinner,

Kkihihit. Kking!

[Heehee. Butler! The Great Blackie-nim is ready!]

Blackie was holding the world’s energy in his mouth and urging Sejun.

It meant they should go apologize together.

“Okay. Kkuenge hyung, take me to Mom.”

Sejun took Kkuenge, who was hanging on his side and dozing off, to Pink Fur.

“Pink Fur, here.”

Kkulorong.

He handed the sleeping Kkuenge to Pink Fur. Kkuenge had completely fallen asleep on the way.

Kuoong. Kuoong.

[Sejun-nim, thank you. You worked hard.]

Pink Fur carefully received Kkuenge and spoke in a soft voice.

Sejun noticed something different about Pink Fur. Her fur seemed to glow a little more, and there was a calm strength around her. “Pink Fur,” Sejun asked, tilting his head. “You seem… different. What happened?”

It had only been a day since the special training, but Pink Fur’s aura had become much stronger. What was strange was that it was also quite gentle.

Sejun turned his back on Pink Fur, who was waving his front paws at him, returned home, and lay down on the bed, and

Kuh-ooh-er.

Immediately fell asleep.

He helped with the Blackie Family’s apology.

As time passed and dawn approached,

Srrrt.

[World’s Energy Freed from Corruption]

The name of the [World’s Energy] that Blackie was holding in his mouth changed, and

“Heh heh heh.”

“Puhu-hut.”

Kkihihit.

Sejun and his companions began to have happy dreams and fall asleep.

In his dream, Sejun was on a throne, laughing as tiny, worried versions of himself bowed before him, begging for mercy.
