Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 647

Sejun stepped into the Blue Tower. A cool, calm air replaced the noise and heat of outside.

Clang.

He quickly opened his magic storage space with a clang.

“Heh heh heh! Boss, I missed you, meow!”

Theo jumped out, landing softly on Sejun’s knee. The little black cat had been busy even in storage, a small loaf of freshly baked bread cooling near the doorway.

Kyurorong.

Iona was sound asleep, dangling from Theo’s tail. She could sleep soundly in any situation when wrapped in Theo’s fluffy tail.

“Meow!”

As soon as Theo clung to Sejun’s knee, he used his Talent: Aura Absorber at full power, absorbing Sejun’s aura.

Kkueng!

Kking!

Meanwhile, Kkuengi and Kamangi also ran out of the subspace warehouse and hugged Sejun.

“Good job.”

Sejun stroked Theo’s head and praised him.

Pat. Pat.

He also stroked Kkuengi and Kamangi’s heads, because if he didn’t, they would surely demand he do it for them too.

“Heh heh heh. This body can do everything, meow!”

Starting with Theo, Kkuengi and Kamangi also wore proud expressions. They were all bursting with confidence.

Kkuhehehe. Kkueng!

[Hehehe. Kkuengi knows what Kkuengi is good at too!]

Kkihihit. Kking!

[Heehee. The great Kamangi-nim is invincible!]

‘They all have too little humility.’

Sejun couldn’t just let that go.

Heh heh. Then I’ll have to teach them some humility.

He gave a sly smile and stretched the cheeks of his companions.

“Hehehe.”

“Heh heh heh.”

Kkuhehehe.

Kkihihit.

It didn’t seem to have the effect of creating humility, but everyone was satisfied, so it was fine. Sejun filled his personal desires by touching the cheeks of his companions.

“Then let’s go.”

When he entered the shopping street to go to the private passage across the first floor of the tower, someone greeted Sejun.

“Sejun-nim! Greetings!”

“Oh? Tobas?”

It was Tobas, a merchant known for sometimes selling things that weren’t in the best condition, earning him the nickname ‘Tobas of Heotang’, who had made a great contribution to getting the seal from Bocell, the head of the Blue Tower.

“Tobas, what are you doing here?”

“Hahaha. What else would a merchant do but trade?”

“Really?”

There are too few customers for that, aren’t there?

The area around Tobas’s stall was deserted. Sejun looked at the items Tobas was selling, thinking of buying something.

However,

“Oh my. How can I sell this?”

The stall was full of bananas that were about to go bad. They were too ripe because they weren’t properly managed. He wasn’t called Tobas of Heotang for nothing.

“I can’t let this stand. Kkuengi, get some strawberries out.”

Kkueng!

Sejun stepped in to help Tobas’s business.

And

“Iona, make some ice.”

“Kkyuk kkyuk kkyuk. Yes!”

“Boss, what do I do, meow?!”

“Vice Chairman Theo, use your Dragon Claw to grind the strawberries, bananas, and ice together.”

“Heh heh heh. I understand, meow! This body’s Dragon Claw is very sharp, meow! I can grind it well, meow!”

“Kkuengi, peel the bananas, and Kamangi, take off the strawberry stems.”

Kkueng!

Kking!

Sejun gave his companions tasks.

“Boss, I’ve ground it all, meow!”

“Okay. Good job.”

Theo, who had been doing nothing, received the strawberry-banana juice, finely ground by his Dragon Claw.

Glug. Glug.

And drank it.

“Wow. Kkuengi, try it too.”

Kkueng!

Kkuengi, who had been swallowing saliva since the delicious smell of strawberries and bananas being ground together filled the air, hurriedly took the glass of strawberry-banana juice and drank it.

Kkueng! Kkueng!

[It’s sweet and delicious! Dad is a genius!]

“Hehehe.”

Sejun smiled at Kkuengi’s praise and said,

“Tobas, let’s make and sell this. Then you won’t lose money.”

He recommended the strawberry-banana juice business to Tobas. If he made and sold strawberry-banana juice, he could get rid of the overripe bananas and make money.

“Oh. Are you helping me?”

“No. We’re just giving you the strawberries and ice and leaving?”

Even though it doesn’t look like it, everyone except Sejun are incredibly high-level talents. Even if they sold the strawberry-banana juice for 10,000 Tower Coins, the labor costs wouldn’t come out. Sejun, who had such talents making strawberry-banana juice, was, in a way, living a luxurious life.

Sejun transformed Tobas of Heotang into Tobas of Strawberry-Banana Juice.

“Then sell it hard.”

“Yes! Thank you!”

Passing by Tobas’s stall and looking around other shops, Sejun bought and ate food.

After giving ice and strawberries to Tobas and teaching him the strawberry-banana juice recipe and a few precautions, it was almost dinner time. It’s not because I want to eat it, but to create new dishes. There was an excellent justification called cooking research.

“Kkuengi, do you want to try it?”

Kkueng!

[I want to eat it!]

Since he had an excellent partner to eat the food with him, Sejun moved around, trying one of every menu item sold in almost every store.

“Oh. This is very soft.”

When he was eating at a restaurant, a message appeared in front of Sejun.

[Talent: Grotesque Food has been activated.]

[You have an amazing stomach!]

[All stats have increased by 30.]

“You have an amazing stomach?”

It would have been better if I had just eaten it without knowing…

Sejun realized that he had eaten something strange.

“Excuse me. What is this made of?”

Unable to contain his curiosity, he called the clerk and asked about the ingredients of the food.

“Ah. This is made of giant blue fly meat…”

“Yes?! What?!”

“It’s blue fly meat. It’s a local specialty.”

Sejun was even more shocked. When he imagined the appearance of the fly in his head, he couldn’t bring himself to eat the food.

Sejun nodded to the clerk, understanding. The clerk left the table.

“Ptooey, ptooey, ptooh. Kkueng, spit it out quickly,” Sejun said quietly.

Sejun quickly spat out the food and whispered to Kkueng. He wanted to shout, “That’s yucky!”, but he didn’t want to cause trouble.

Kkueng also spat out the food, looking confused.

“Excuse me, check please!” Sejun called.

He apologized to the clerk, gathered his group, paid, and left quickly. Although some of the food had a strange taste that surprised them, it was an overall enjoyable experience.

Ah. That was a good meal.

Having finished their hearty dinner and almost out of the shopping district, they heard a thud.

“Hey! Stand up straight! Or you’ll regret it!”

From the dark back alley, the familiar voices of scary thugs were heard along with the sound of beatings.

Theo, the master of extortion, twitched.

Theo chuckled. “Chairman Park, we need to see this, nya! Let’s go!”

“Alright,” Sejun agreed.

They hurried towards the back alley where Theo was pointing.

“Wait… aren’t those… ?” Sejun squinted.

He saw small, green frogs, their eyes wide with fear, pressed against a dirty brick wall.

“If you even look at us again, you’re finished! We’ll poison you!” growled a deep voice.

Giant, brown toads with rough skin and bulging eyes were threatening the frogs.

Suddenly, Theo roared, “Haa! Haa! Everyone stop, nya!”

Theo was very angry. Lesia was the world where his friend, Jewel Frog, lived and protected everyone. Hurting the frogs of Lesia was like hurting Jewel Frog’s friends. This made Theo furious.

“You’re ignoring our amazing Chairman Park!” Theo shouted at the toads. He thought they were being rude to Sejun.

Iona, matching Theo’s fury, also got very angry.

A moment later.

“Heh heh heh.”

“Kkyut kkyut kkyut.”

Stamp. Stamp. Stamp.

While Theo was stamping his seal on the backs of the unconscious giant toads,

“Are you alright?” Sejun asked.

“Yes. Thank you,” the frog replied.

“But who are those guys?”

Sejun asked the frogs about the toads’ identities.

“Those toads are…” The toads came from the Level 6 world Boospo, which was connected to the Blue Tower this time.

As soon as they arrived, they looked down on the frogs of Lesia, who were weaker than them, and caused them trouble.

“It’ll be alright from now on,” Sejun reassured the frogs.

Sejun planned to go to Boospo and ‘reason’ with the toads – in his own way.

As the situation was being resolved,

“You guys made a mistake!” The largest of the toads regained consciousness and shouted.

Surely he wasn’t going to say something cliché like, ‘Do you know who my father is?’

As Sejun was expecting the toad’s next line,

“Do you know who my father is?! He’s the Emperor of the Kerma Empire!” Gatoma shouted that very cliché line.

Then,

Goohehehe. Kkueng?! Kkueng!

[Hehehe. Do you know who Kkueng’s father is?! Kkueng’s father is Chairman Park Sejun of Sejun Company!]

Kkueng countered with an equally cliché line. (Kkueng said this in a loud, proud voice, like a little kid showing off his dad.)

Finally, he bragged about his dad!

‘Aww. Why does this tug at my heart?’

Sejun felt a sense of pride watching Kkueng.

To think I’m such a wonderful (?) father that Kkueng proudly boasts about me.

As Sejun was feeling acknowledged by Kkueng and enjoying the happiness,

Theo laughed. “An Emperor, huh? Is that all your dad is, nya?!”

Gatoma, thinking he was being asked to try to please Theo, smiled and answered,

“Hahaha. That’s corr…”

Thwack.

He was hit on the back of the head by Theo and fainted. It was just a confirmation process.

Theo grinned, his eyes gleaming with excitement. “Chairman Park, let’s go to this guy’s dad, nya! This could be even better than finding coins on the street!”

“Alright,” Sejun said.

Of course, Sejun was excited too.

It was an Empire, not just a kingdom.

How much money would they have?

Thanks to earning a lot of money recently, he had filled 300 trillion Topcoins out of the 1000 trillion needed to create a new world’s laws.

I need to fill this up quickly and save money to go home.

Having found a source of money, Sejun left a note for Gatoma to wait in the Empire and headed to the special door.

99th floor of the Black Tower.

“It’s almost time to depart.”

The time for Tolyong’s field trip was approaching.

Beep!

[Tolyong, please have a safe trip!]

Dalkomi was seeing Tolyong off.

“Yeah. I’ll be back.”

[Moving to Tartarus, the Prison of the Gods.]

Tolyong went on a field trip to Tartarus.

Meanwhile, while Tolyong was on his field trip,

Sejun’s Brewery.

“…?”

Sejun No. 12 discovered that a quarter of the brewery’s alcohol had disappeared.

Where did it go?

Sejun No. 12 tilted his head in confusion.

Soon, as if it were nothing, he began brewing alcohol again. If it’s gone, just refill it.

A moment later.

Tartarus.

“Here. Keep drinking!”

Tolyong offered alcohol to the gods of Tartarus.

It was Tolyong who had taken the alcohol from the brewery. Of course, he had received permission from Sejun in advance.

The reason Tolyong brought so much alcohol was that Sejun’s alcohol also had the effect of increasing the gods’ godly strength, and

“Krooooh. Good stuff. Tolyong, where did I leave off?”

“You said you were looking for a place to hide the stolen treasure.”

“Ah. Right. So, where did I hide the treasure…”

It was really good for getting information.

Especially the guards and prisoners of Tartarus, who hadn’t had a drink in at least 10,000 years, got drunk with just a little bit of alcohol and blurted out their secrets.

“Oh! Really?!”

“Huh?! Your glass is empty. Have some more.”

“You’re really amazing!”

Thanks to this, Tolyong was able to easily learn the locations of treasures, divine objects, and valuable items by pouring alcohol into empty glasses and adding a few comments.

I must remember everything well and tell Sejun.

Tolyong diligently memorized what he had heard so he wouldn’t forget.
