Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 649

Sejun returned home from the first floor of the Blue Tower.

*Grumble.*

His stomach roared, demanding food.

It was no surprise he was hungry, having spent the day gathering treasures without lunch.

Earlier, the sight of treasures had been satisfying, but Sejun couldn’t get energy from just looking. The hunger hit him suddenly.

“The kids must be making a fuss about being hungry,” he thought.

As Sejun hurried to the kitchen to cook, *Clang.*

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I missed you, meow! Bring out the grilled fish quickly, meow!”

“Kyu- I’m hungry.”

Kkueng!

Squeak!

The subspace warehouse opened, and the group clung to Sejun’s back as he ran to the kitchen.

Sejun arrived at the kitchen with his companions.

“Sejun No. 12! I want rice with a tasty sauce and egg!”

He instructed Sejun No. 12 and quickly grilled fish while roasting peanuts in a frying pan.

Kkuhehehe.

Meanwhile, Kkueng set the table with spoons, ready to eat.

Kkihihit.

Kkamang brought his bowl, placed it on the floor, and waited for Sejun to give him dried sweet potato.

A moment later,

“Are you hungry? Let’s eat quickly.”

At Sejun’s words, everyone began to eat.

Everyone was hungry, so they ate very quickly.

Kkihihit.

Kkamang also ate deliciously.

Something’s strange, Sejun thought, looking at Kkamang’s belly.

He had been making him exercise, but his belly was getting bigger.

Then, Sejun saw Kkabi, Kkaruru, Shari, and Mubalchil looking at him, their eyes saying, “We have something to say.”

The four of them looked thinner compared to the plump Kkamang.

‘Ah.’

Sejun understood the situation as soon as he saw them.

Is he cheating?

As Sejun realized Kkamang’s trick and became furious,

Kkihihit. Squeak!

[Heehee. Butler!]

Kkamang, not noticing how serious Sejun was, waddled over with his bowl.

And

Squeak! Squeak?!

[Give me more dried sweet potato! Should I run 10 more laps?!]

Kkamang asked for dried sweet potato and offered to run first.

Since he wasn’t the one running, he wasn’t worried.

“Hehehe. Okay. I’ll give you dried sweet potato if you run 10 laps.”

Kkihihit. Squeak! Squeak!

[Heehee. Okay! Butler! Just wait a little!]

Kkamang tried to fly around quickly.

However,

“Kkabi, Kkaruru, Shari, Mubalchil, come here for a moment.”

Sejun called the subordinates who would help Kkamang fly.

Squeak?!

“Why? Kkamang, go run.”

Squeak.

[Okay.]

This isn’t right…

Kkamang thought something was wrong and ran around. Very slowly, waiting for his subordinates to come.

But Sejun didn’t want to let the four of them go so easily.

“Kkabi, go to the brewery and check on the alcohol.”

You guys know what to do, right?

Sejun winked slyly and sent Kkabi to the brewery.

“Kkaruru, Shari, Mubalchil, are you doing well with unsealing the jewels I gave you?”

He asked the remaining three how much they had unsealed the jewels of fire, water, and wind, which he had given them before, stalling for time.

Only 10 minutes passed like that,

Gasp. Gasp.

Kkamang started sweating and panting. It was natural. It wasn’t easy to run with a belly full of tricks.

“Kkamang, why are you so slow? This is suspicious.”

I mustn’t get caught!

Kkamang, suspected by Sejun, ran with all his might.

If he got caught cheating, he would be put on a diet, and he wouldn’t be able to eat as much dried sweet potato.

No! My dried sweet potato!

Kkamang finally started a real diet to protect his dried sweet potato.

Gasp. Gasp. Squeak..

[Huff. Huff. 10 laps done…]

As Kkamang returned, sweating,

“Oh my. Look at all that sweat. You need to wash up. You ran well. Stay clean.”

Sejun praised Kkamang for completing 10 laps and used his skill to wash him.

Kkirorong.

Kkamang, petted by Sejun, couldn’t even eat the dried sweet potato he wanted and fell asleep as if he had fainted.

Hehehe. Why did you cheat?

Sejun picked up the sleeping Kkamang, laid him on the bed, and went outside.

And

“Hehehe.”

“Puhuhut.”

Kkuhehehe.

After playing with Theo and Kkueng, the sky became dark.

“Let’s go to sleep now.”

He took Kkueng to his bed of Pink Fur.

“Vice Chairman Theo, good night.”

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, sleep well too, meow!”

“Okay.”

Kuh-ooh.

He lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

What is it?

Was I not doing well?

[System 371] realized something was wrong.

Even though it had bowed down to Sejun, only [System SJC]’s power was growing, while its own power was shrinking.

What went wrong?

I don’t know why!

[System 371] was confused.

I have to do something more!

At this rate, something terrible will happen to me!

Feeling uneasy, it thought of a plan.

That’s it!

Why didn’t I think of this before?!

It soon came up with a plan.

I can’t wait!

I’ll offer it directly!

It decided to offer the system connector directly to Sejun.

Move!

Quickly!

At [System 371]’s command, the system connector slowly began to move toward Yormungandr’s stomach.

And

Boom.

The Giant Tear of Destruction, which had swallowed the system connector, also moved, absorbing other Tears of Destruction in its path and growing larger.

It’ll be okay since I went this far, right?

They’ll like me now, right?

[System 371] felt relieved.

But it seemed like Sejun would hate it again.

In the dark night, when everyone was asleep,

Gurgle. Gurgle.

The Giant Tear of Destruction was absorbing other Tears of Destruction and growing even larger.

The next morning.

“Ugh-cha.”

Sejun got up.

“Meow…”

Squeak…

He took Theo and Kkamang’s family to the kitchen, where Sejun No. 12 was baking sweet potatoes.

Next to it, seaweed soup was boiling, and chocolate-covered cakes were piled up on the table.

The ingredients for the seaweed soup and chocolate-covered cakes were neatly arranged behind the table.

Our Batbat worked hard.

Several chocolate footprints were visible, shaped like Batbat’s paws. It seemed he had stepped on them while working.

Sejun patted Bat-Bat’s head after finding him, as Bat-Bat usually liked to sit on his left shoulder.

“(Baeheehee…)”

He could hear Bat-Bat giggling.

Sejun stroked Bat-Bat’s head.

“Time to cook.”

Sejun went to where Bat-Bat had organized the ingredients. He used his Cooking skill to make more seaweed soup and Choco Pies.

A short while later, Pink Fur arrived with Kuengie in its mouth.

Thud. Thud.

Krooong.

[Good morning, Sejun.]

“Yeah. Good morning. Pink Fur, take this and eat it.”

Sejun took Kuengie from Pink Fur, hung it on his side, and filled Pink Fur’s snack pouch with Choco Pies.

Then, after eating breakfast, he started his daily routine as usual. The other dragons still hadn’t brought the land deed for the first floor of the tower.

“Puhuhu. Chairman Park, I’ll make lots of money, meow!”

Kueng!

[Kuengie will also gather lots of herbs!]

Sejun sent Theo and Kuengie off to work, then said,

“Kkamang, let’s go.”

Keeheehee. Kking!

[Heehee. Let’s go quickly!]

He went to the 10th Tower with Kkamang. It was a tall, stone building, darker and colder than the Black Tower.

Clang.

Sejun opened the magic storage and allowed the Creation Stone Tablet to absorb the energy of creation. The Creation Stone Tablet had absorbed about 1000 trillion L, filling 10% of its capacity.

He hadn’t yet absorbed the jewel he received from the Kerma Empire. Thinking about it, he figured it would be a good idea to go home.

He could quickly earn money anyway, and it had already been well over half a year since he’d been to Earth. He missed home. Besides, he had a feeling it would be difficult to go home for a while.

While Sejun was opening the magic storage and lost in thought,

Keeheehee. Kking!

[Heehee. Everyone, the great Kkamang has returned!]

As soon as Kkamang arrived, he gathered the Doom Pioneers (tiny black seeds that could grow into powerful allies) and Doom Devourers and said,

Keeheehee. Kking···

[Heehee. The great Kkamang tricked the butler and…]

He told them about how he tricked Sejun and ate dried sweet potato.

Kiki···

Kyakyakya···

When they heard about him tricking Sejun, his subordinates looked disappointed. But when Kkamang told them he ran ten laps by himself yesterday,

Kiki!

Kyakyakya!

As expected of the boss!

His subordinates started cheering again.

Heehee. The reaction to me running myself is good? Then I should keep running hard by myself in the future!

Kkamang grinned at his subordinates’ reaction.

“Good job, everyone.”

Behind Kkamang, Sejun gave a thumbs up to the Doom Pioneers and Doom Devourers.

After motivating Kkamang like that,

Plop. Plop.

[You are the Field (Master) is activated.]

[You have planted a Doom Pioneer seed in the body of Kraken, the 6th Seat of the Doom Apostles, the Beast that Swallows the Sea.]

After planting the stacked Doom Pioneer and Doom Devourer seeds, Sejun said,

“Kkamang, let’s go home.”

He returned to the Black Tower.

Then,

Kueng!

Kuengie, who had left work early, greeted Sejun. It was to find Doom Sejun inside the stomachs of Sejun and Jormungandr.

The Kuengie Herb Garden was well maintained by the Kuengie Herb Squad in Kuengie’s absence. Yongboon, who had become an ice cube because of the Kkamang family, had also recovered his shattered mentality and joined the Kuengie Herb Squad.

Of course, Kuengie or Pink Fur lowered the temperature whenever it got too hot, so it was a less hot Yongboon.

“Let’s eat.”

Kueng!

Kking!

Sejun had a simple lunch with Kuengie and Kkamang and moved to Jormungandr’s stomach through the dimensional gate.

White Tower, 53rd floor.

A city ruled by Iril, the pure white merchant and nine-tailed fox. The city where Iril built a tower symbolizing her nine tails was called Nine Tower. It was a bustling city.

“Puhuhu. I’ll start the auction, meow!”

Theo shouted as he stood on the platform in the central square of Nine Tower.

“Waaah!”

The merchants who had been waiting for Theo’s auction cheered from below the platform.

“Huhu.”

Iril looked down at Theo from the highest tower and smiled. *Such a capable merchant, he’s good enough to be my partner,* she thought.

A merchant that the great White Dragon listened to. With just that, he had absolute power in the White Tower.

*I should ask him to have a drink with me after the auction and try to charm him,* Iril thought about seducing Theo.

It was fortunate that Iona wasn’t there. If Iona knew that Iril was thinking of flirting with Theo, Iril would have been erased along with Nine Tower.

As the auction was about to start,

“Nya?”

Theo suddenly felt a tingling sensation all over his body. He started to tremble, and his whiskers were shaking violently.

“It’s dangerous, meow! Chairman Park is in danger, meow!”

Theo’s danger sense was telling him that great danger was coming to Sejun.

“That’s all for today, meow!”

Theo hurried to Sejun.

Sejun crossed the dimensional gate first and looked around. *Nothing…* Sejun was disappointed that there wasn’t a single Doom Tear that had come in.

Kueng!

Kking!

Meanwhile, Kuengie and the Kkamang family followed him in.

A short while later,

“Okay. Fart-Guiho, start!”

-Yes! I’ll go at full power!

Pooooung.

With the thick fart sound of Fart Master Kkabul-To, Jormungandr’s body began to move. Kkabul-To didn’t seem to be embarrassed anymore. *Ah. So refreshing,* he thought.

“Kuengie, let’s go out.”

Kueng!

Sejun came out of Jormungandr’s body with Kuengie and said,

“Kuengie, that.”

Kueng!

Wiggle.

Just as he was about to catch Doom Sejun and make him work,

-Sejun! Something’s wrong! The Doom Tear is too big!

Kkabul-To urgently called Sejun.

“Huh?! Why is it so close?!”

Sejun discovered that the giant Doom Tear was much closer than he thought. And it’s even bigger? He had a bad feeling.

Sejun was getting closer to the giant Doom Tear that he had wanted so much, but he decided to run away.

“Reverse!”

But then,

Sejun! Found him!

Move the system connector faster!

System 371, who had found Sejun, increased its speed to deliver the system connector to Sejun. Before he knew it, Sejun had entered the area where it copies things of the giant Doom Tear.

Squelch. Squelch.

The giant Doom Tear began to transform into Sejun’s appearance.
