Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 648

Sejun arrived in Boospo, a world on the 6th level, through the exclusive passage.

Wobble. Wobble.

Sejun spotted plump slimes moving around, looking for something to eat.

“Heh heh heh. Is it pork belly for breakfast today?” Sejun wondered.

*Swoop.*

“Koohehehe!” Kkuengi drooled and laughed, excited for breakfast.

“Alright, let’s get them!” Sejun shouted.

“Puhuhut. Understood, meow!” Theo replied.

“Kkueng!”

At Sejun’s command, Theo and Kkuengi attacked the slimes.

Kyurorong.

Iona was still asleep, clinging to Theo’s tail.

“The winning side is our side!”

Keeheeheet! Keeng! Keeng!

[Heehee. Go, big brothers! Butler and the great Blackie are cheering you on!]

Sejun and the Blackie family cheered enthusiastically from behind. They knew better than to get in the way of Theo and Kkuengi.

A moment later, the slimes were finely sliced and…

Sizzle.

The slime meat grilled to a delicious golden brown on the stone plate.

“Koohehehe. Kkueng!”

[Hehehe. Delicious!]

Kkuengi gleefully made wraps with five pieces of meat at a time and ate them heartily.

“Puhuhut. As expected, President Park’s grilled fish is the best, meow!” Theo purred.

“Kkyut kkyut kkyut. The peanuts Sejun roasted are also delicious!” Iona squeaked.

Keeheeheet. Keeng!

[Heehee. Butler! I want more dried sweet potato!]

Blackie, whose belly was so full it was dragging on the floor, barked eagerly for more.

“Then go run around the area 10 times,” Sejun said.

Keeheeheet. Keeng!

[Heehee. Okay!]

Tap tap tap.

Blackie started to “run” around the area.

It wasn’t that he could do any amount of exercise to eat dried sweet potato, but rather…

“Blackie, you’re heavy! I think you need to go on a diet…” Sejun mumbled.

Exactly!

Sejun, please notice!

Shalala!

Caw!

Peep!

Moo!

Kabi, Carle, Shari, and Mubalchil lifted Blackie and carried him, while Blackie only moved his paws as if he was running.

Sejun, unaware of Blackie’s trick, wondered why Blackie wasn’t losing weight when he was “running” so hard as he wrapped a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

Crunch. Crunch.

“Heh heh heh. Delicious,” he mumbled, enjoying his breakfast.

A moment later, Sejun finished breakfast and…

Slurp.

He drank the coffee Kkuengi made for him while checking his Tower Lord quests. He still had a lot of work to do.

Eliminate 500 billion Locusts, the first disaster of destruction (131.2 billion/500 billion)

Eliminate 50 billion Giant Bloodsucking Leeches, the second disaster of destruction (2.5 billion/50 billion)

Eliminate 50 billion Fire Moths, the third disaster of destruction (2.1 billion/50 billion)

Eliminate 50 billion Petrifying Spiders, the fourth disaster of destruction (3.3 billion/50 billion)

Eliminate 100 million Slimes, the fifth disaster of destruction (1345/100 million)

Eliminate 10,000 Ogres, the sixth disaster of destruction (121/10,000)

Eliminate 1,000 Planet-Destroying Turtles, the seventh disaster of destruction (15/1,000)

Eliminate 100 billion Flesh-Eating Devourers, the eighth disaster of destruction (60.7 billion/100 billion)

It was clear becoming a landlord would take a long time.

For reference, during his week off, Sejun visited Les, the boss of the 99th floor of the White Tower, and delivered the 121 auras residing in his body to Les.

“Sejun, you have finally reached the third level of Muscle Enhancement Technique,” Les informed Sejun.

“Kkueng?!”

[Then can Kkuengi teach Daddy Aura Art?!]

Kkuengi, who had learned Aura Art in advance for this day, tried to teach Sejun Muscle Amplification, but…

“Kkueng! [You do it like this!]”

“Like this?” Sejun asked.

“Kkueng! Kkueng! [No! Like this!]”

It wasn’t easy for Kkuengi to teach Sejun. What was as easy as breathing for Kkuengi was not for Sejun, who was not quick to learn.

“Like this?”

“Kkueng! Kkueng! [I said like this! Daddy, concentrate!]”

Sejun, constantly scolded by Kkuengi, felt like Kkuengi was bossing him around.

“Les, help me,” he thought, sending a look of help to Les.

“Ahem. I will first teach you the basics of Muscle Amplification,” Les said, stepping in to help Sejun.

Muscle Amplification was a technique to amplify the muscles of the body for a certain period of time using aura, increasing its size.

Sejun could currently increase his body size up to three times for three seconds.

He heard that if Muscle Amplification reached the tenth level, he could maintain a body that was almost 100 times larger for almost a lifetime, but it didn’t seem like he would ever need to use it.

Because clothes would tear if he got bigger.

He had almost done a nude show in front of his companions because his clothes were torn to shreds after using Muscle Amplification without knowing anything.

It was really fortunate that it was the White Tower, where Eileen couldn’t see.

Ah. It’s embarrassing even thinking about it again.

Sejun shook his head to shake off the embarrassment, recalling that time.

“I need to work quickly,” he said, getting up from his seat.

His motivation soared as he checked the number of disasters to catch to complete the quest.

“Alright, let’s go!”

“Puhuhut. Good, meow!”

“Kkueng!”

“Keeng!”

And so, Sejun and his party moved towards the capital of the Kerma Empire, dealing with other disasters along the way.

Batan, the capital of the Kerma Empire.

“What’s this I hear? Gatoma was defeated in the Tower?” Emperor Puntaro of the Kerma Empire asked, sounding angry.

“Daddy, I even got a stamp here,” Gatoma said, showing the cat paw print stamped on his back.

“This is…”

“Surely not?!”

Puntaro quickly looked at Gengen, the Chief Court Wizard.

“You are right to think so. It’s not exactly the same, but it has a similar effect to the Mark of Allegiance.”

“They *dare* to brand my son with such a mark?!”

*Thud!*

Unable to contain his rage, Puntaro stomped his foot hard against the floor.

And they even said to prepare to welcome them in the Imperial capital.

How much do these enemies look down on the Kerma Empire?!

“Someone! Find their location at once!”

An hour after Puntaro ordered the search for Sejun and his group throughout the city, reports began to come in.

“Are they fighting the Calamities as they come here?”

The reports pinpointed the location of Sejun and his group. They were hard to miss, given the commotion they caused while eliminating the Calamities.

“Yes. They are currently about 20km away from the capital. If we leave now, we can meet them within an hour.”

“Good. Immediately gather all the soldiers in the capital and prepare to march out!”

“Yes, sir!”

With reports of Calamities appearing nearby, Puntaro intended to capture Sejun and his companions while also dealing with the Calamities.

According to Gatoma, the enemy numbered three.

Gatoma thought Iona and the Blackie Family were not important.

‘Rather than marching out to capture three people, it would be better to deal with them while also dealing with the Calamities. It would be a better reason to mobilize the troops,’ Puntaro thought, creating a solid reason to gather the soldiers.

Besides, he thought, ‘Gatoma will be impressed when he sees me leading such a large force, right?’ Moving so many troops would also show his son how impressive he was.

So, Puntaro gathered a large army. He and his son went to find Sejun and his group. Soon, they saw them.

“Father, those are the ones!” Gatoma shouted, spotting the Sejun Family.

“Very well. Father will teach them a lesson. Prepare to attack!”

“Yes, sir!”

As Puntaro was about to order his soldiers to attack, a tiny white hamster, barely visible, floated into the sky.

“Squeak squeak squeak. O power of gravity… Meteor.”

KABOOM!

A piece of land almost the size of the capital vanished, along with the Calamities that Puntaro had intended to deal with later, after eliminating Sejun’s group.

And then, thud, thud, a Calamity approached them.

Puntaro and his soldiers were frozen in place until Sejun and his party arrived before them.

“Puhuhu. I told you to wait, but you came out to greet me?! Very good posture!” Theo said happily.

Stamp. Stamp.

Theo happily stamped them.

Meanwhile, Sejun said, “Um… I would like to see the treasure vault.”

“Ah. Yes! Let’s go!” Puntaro replied.

And so, they returned to the capital, Batan, under the devoted escort of Puntaro and the Kerma Empire’s elite soldiers.

“My father lost… My father isn’t the strongest…” Gatoma, witnessing Puntaro’s defeat for the first time, was deeply shocked and became depressed.

At that moment, Kkuengi patted Gatoma’s shoulder.

“Squeak! Squeak! [That’s obvious! Father is weak to begin with!]”

Kkuengi comforted Gatoma, putting his arm around his shoulder.

“Huh?! Father was weak to begin with?” Gatoma asked.

“Squeak! Squeak! [That’s right! The son always has to protect his father!]” Kkuengi was gaslighting Gatoma.

“Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! [First, you must always be careful around Father! And you must taste everything before Father eats it! Father might eat something dangerous!]”

He diligently taught Gatoma the sunfish father protection law.

“I see. Father is someone who needs to be protected,” Gatoma said, learning from Kkuengi.

In later years, he would be praised as the most filial son in the history of the Kerma Empire.

While Sejun and his party were moving to Batan:

[The number of full-time employees affiliated with Boosfo in Sejun Company has exceeded 10 billion.]

[Sejun Company’s influence over Boosfo is greatly increasing.]

[Sejun Company’s influence over Boosfo is over 70%.]

[Sejun Company is merging with Boosfo .]

[New infrastructure is being established in Sejun Company.]

[A global communication network has been established in Sejun Company.]

[From now on, communication between full-time Boosfo employees affiliated with Sejun Company is possible.]

[System SJC] was having its abilities upgraded once again as Sejun Company’s influence greatly increased.

The reason why the number of full-time Boosfo employees exceeded 10 billion, even though Theo had only stamped tens of thousands of seals, was due to the Kerma Empire’s unique system.

In the Kerma Empire, people are marked at birth to show loyalty to the Emperor, making it impossible for them to betray him.

It was to prevent treason, which was why Puntaro was even more furious when he saw the seal stamped on his son. It was something only stamped on ordinary people.

In any case, when Theo stamped Puntaro, all the residents of the Kerma Empire who had been branded with the Mark of Allegiance to Puntaro became affiliated with Sejun Company.

And so, [System SJC] was upgraded in performance.

[Recruiting a Deputy Guardian God to manage Boosfo . (Distribution 0.5%)]

A Deputy Guardian God recruitment notice was posted on the full-time employee communication network.

The distribution was stingier than when Sejun hired them, but:

[ Head Seed Shop Headquarters, Bud the Sprout God: Me! Awesome! First place!]

[ Head Seed Shop Headquarters, Toga the Stone God: Me! You fool, Bud, this isn’t first-come, first-served.]

[ Head Combat Shop Headquarters, Faro the Fire God: Applying!]

Gods were vying with each other to become the Deputy Guardian God of the Level 6 world, Boosfo .

A short while later:

[The Deputy Guardian God of Boosfo is Toga the Stone God.]

[ Head Seed Shop Headquarters, Toga the Stone God: Aza!]

[ Head Seed Shop Headquarters, Bud the Sprout God: I was in first place… ㅜㅜ]

Toga the Stone God was chosen as the Deputy Guardian God of Boosfo .

The treasure vault of Batan, the capital of the Kerma Empire:

“Hehehe. Quickly pack it up, you guys,” Sejun said.

“Puhuhu. I understand!” Theo replied.

“Squeak squeak squeak. Yes!” Kkuengi added.

Squeak!

Squeak!

Sejun and his party quickly moved the treasures in the treasure vault into Sejun’s subspace warehouse.

“Hehe. Vice President Theo, aren’t we being too nice?” Sejun asked.

“Puhuhu. That’s right! To leave so much treasure behind, we are too kind!” Theo agreed.

Sejun and Theo, looking at the small pile of the least valuable items they had created in the center of the completely empty treasure vault after taking all the expensive ones, smiled contentedly and praised themselves.

“Then, we’ll be going. Kkuengi, let’s leave!” Sejun said.

Squeak!

And so, after Sejun quickly escaped the capital with Kkuengi’s telekinesis, Puntaro’s scream was heard from the capital.

“My treaaaaasuure~!!!”
