Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 653

“Hee hee hee. Now that it’s evolved, it’ll be even tastier, right?”

They were on the first floor of the Golden Great Tower.

“Let’s go now.”

Thump.

Sejun and his group arrived at the private passage and placed their hands on the golden hole.

[There are currently two places you can go.]

[Please select a destination.]

>Olga (Lv. 5)>

>Noil (Lv. 7)>

“Noil.”

[Currently, the number of people wishing to use the private passage is twenty.]

[Would you like to pay the stay fee for twenty people and move to >Noil>?]

“Yes.”

As soon as Sejun said yes, the stay fee started being calculated.

The total number of people was twenty because Bbyot, Yuren, and Poyo had joined them.

Bbyot…?

[Sejun, can I come with you… ?]

Bbyot really wanted to go with Theo, so he carefully asked Sejun for permission, looking at him hopefully.

“Alright. Let’s go together.”

Sejun agreed easily because Artemis was paying for it.

“I’m only taking you this time as a special case.”

Bbyot! Bbyot!

[Yes! Sejun, you’re the best!]

Bbyot was very happy.

[The stay fee will be calculated considering the stats and class of Black Tower Top Farmer Park Sejun.]

While they waited for the stay fee to be calculated…

[The stay fee will be calculated considering the stats and class of Black Tower Merchant Yuren Damon.]

[>Bloodline: Descendant of the Golden King> has been confirmed.]

[>Hidden Bloodline: The Moneybags of the Hero Party> has been confirmed.]

[>Hidden Bloodline: A Pig Cursed with Misfortune by the God of Destruction> has been confirmed.]

[Talent: A Pig Destined to Have Bad Luck has been confirmed.]

[Talent: A Pig Destined to Break His Nose Even When Falling Backward has been confirmed.]

[Talent: A Pig Who Only Picks the Wrong Answers…]

[Talent: A Pig Who Only Chooses the Wrong Answers…]

[Talent: A Pig Who Chooses the Bad Path at Every Crossroads…]

Yuren’s bloodline and many misfortune-related talents appeared before Sejun.

“Wow.”

It was truly amazing.

Sejun could only say that as he watched. There was a reason why Theo’s talent, Hand of Midas, couldn’t get rid of the misfortune.

And it seemed like the source of the misfortune was >Hidden Bloodline: A Pig Cursed with Misfortune by the God of Destruction>.

Judging from this, it seemed that Yuren’s ancestor secretly helped the hero party and defeated the God of Destruction, and the God of Destruction put a curse on him as he died.

But why is Yuto okay?

Now that he thought about it, Yuren’s father, Yuto, was fine. He lived well and wasn’t affected by misfortune at all.

“What is it?”

Sejun got confused.

At that moment,

[>Hidden Bloodline: A Pig Cursed with Misfortune by the God of Destruction> has forcibly awakened Talent: Greatly Unlucky Pig.]

“Huh?!”

It had forcibly awakened a talent?

Sejun could now understand why Yuren had so many misfortune-related talents.

Because of >Hidden Bloodline: A Pig Cursed with Misfortune by the God of Destruction>, talents were constantly being forcibly awakened.

This was a little bit envy-inducing, wasn’t it?

If it wasn’t related to misfortune.

As Yuren’s stay fee calculation finished,

[Due to the party possessing great misfortune, the total stay fee has been discounted by 15%.]

A message appeared saying that the stay fee had been discounted.

“Oh!”

A 15% discount!

With this kind of advantage, I’ll definitely bring Yuren with me next time I go to Earth!

The misfortune was a bit worrying, but with 15%, he could save about 100 trillion on Earth stay fees. The discount was huge.

Also, when he was with Theo, Yuren’s misfortune just made Theo’s luck even better.

Hee hee hee. As long as I’m careful, it should be fine.

Sejun was happy because the time to go home was getting closer.

[Moving to >Noil>.]

He moved to >Noil> with his group.

[You have arrived at >Noil>.]

“It’s a pig!”

“It’s been so long since I’ve had meat!”

“Catch it!”

As soon as Sejun and his group arrived, the residents of >Noil> rushed towards them. There were about 300 people.

Squeak?! Squeak!

[Did you call the great Blackie a pig?! I’m going to punish you!]

Blackie, who was sensitive because of her recent diet, got angry at the word ‘pig’.

Tap tap tap.

She ran towards the residents of >Noil>, but they ignored Blackie and ran past her. Their only target was Yuren.

I knew it.

Sejun nodded as he watched Yuren get surrounded by the residents of >Noil>.

A short while later…

“Puhuhut. Get your stamps, meow!”

“Yes! Please stamp it quickly!”

“I’ll get it stamped first!”

“Don’t cut in line!”

The residents of >Noil> eagerly reached out their hands to get Theo’s stamp.

Stamp. Stamp.

The residents who got the stamp quickly ran to Sejun.

“Chairman, I got my stamp here!”

“Good. Confirmation complete. Enjoy your meal.”

“Thank you! I will enjoy it!”

They showed Sejun their stamps and got food.

They were so hungry that they were ready to sell their souls if they were given food.

Ah. Did they already sell it?

Since they were stamped by our Vice Chairman Theo…

“Hee hee hee.”

Sejun spoke as if he was different from Theo, but like vice chairman, like chairman. Among the regular employees, Sejun was already known as a demon breeder or a great demon.

While giving out food to the residents of >Noil>, Sejun heard about the situation in >Noil>.

According to the residents, many villages in >Noil> stored food in a shared warehouse, but they were attacked by blue fire moths.

All the warehouses burned down, and they were starving because they had nothing to eat.

“Blue fire moths?”

Could it be that other disasters also evolve like the locusts if there are too many of them?

While Sejun was talking to the residents and getting information,

“Kkyut kkyut kkyut. Oh, power of ice. Freeze the enemy. Ice Storm.”

Kkueng!

Bbyot!

Kkuik!

“Mohehe. Sandstorm!”

Iona, Kkuengi, Bbyot, Yuren, and Poyo were dealing with the many disasters.

Thanks to Yuren’s misfortune, disasters appeared even when they were standing still. Strangely, the fire moths were nowhere to be seen.

“Give us food!”

“Give us money too!”

Robbers, drawn by Yuren’s misfortune, appeared from time to time.

“Puhuhut. Hand over everything you have, meow!”

This gave Theo a good income.

“Puhuhut. Get your stamps, meow!”

And it also increased the number of Sejun Company’s regular employees.

It’s so convenient and great to have Yuren around.

Sejun smiled happily at the company’s increasing profits.

After about 6 hours, the situation was somewhat under control.

“Goodbye!”

Sejun left the food for the residents to eat and moved on with his group to the northwest, where Bbyot had found something strange.

The food was constantly being refilled as they dealt with the disasters, so the amount of food in the subspace warehouse was about the same as when they arrived at >Noil>.

On the way there,

“Meow?!”

Kkueng?!

Theo’s paw and Kkuengi’s gaze pointed to the same place at the same time.

Kkuengi too, meow?!

Theo the snake and Kkueng the rabbit both stopped walking suddenly. Theo hissed, his forked tongue flicking out, “Big Bro, did you feel that too?”

Kkueng thumped his large rabbit foot on the ground, his nose twitching. “[Kkueng felt it! Something amazing!]”

Sejun felt a tingle in the air himself. He smiled, a feeling of excitement bubbling up inside him. *It must be a divine medicine,* he thought. He chuckled softly. “Let’s go find it then.”

“Where is it? Let’s go quickly.”

Theo puffed out his chest. “Sejun, I will guide you! Trust me!”

Kkueng insisted, “[No! Kkueng will guide Daddy!]”

Theo insisted, “I’ll guide him!” But Kkueng thumped his foot. “[No! Kkueng will guide Daddy!]” he argued.

Theo and Kkueng were fighting over who would guide Sejun.

Sejun spoke firmly, “If you fight, we’re not going.”

Immediately, Theo and Kkueng stopped arguing. They put their arms around each other like friends and said,

“Follow us!”

“Follow Big Bro and Kkueng!”

Theo and Kkueng, now acting like best friends, hurried forward, leading the way.

Sejun smiled to himself. “They should have done that from the start.”

And then,

“Huh?”

Following Theo and Kkueng, they reached a black swamp. Everything around it was dead.

Dead insects like locusts and leeches lay everywhere. Even spiders, stiff and still, were scattered around. Many dead slimes were also on the ground.

At that moment,

[The Orb of Deceit glowed red, warning: Danger is coming!]

Sejun wondered, “What’s here?”

As Sejun looked around,

Then Sejun saw something in the swamp. “What’s that?” he murmured.

In the middle of the dark swamp, a plant grew. It had two bright green leaves, which looked strange in such a dead place.

[Baby Doll Mandrake]

Suddenly, a voice shouted, “It’s poison!”

Sejun quickly pulled out a strong antidote, called Daepa, and said,

“Everyone, eat this now!”

He distributed it to the group,

They quickly chewed the Daepa, the sound crunching in the quiet swamp.

A moment later.

[You have inhaled a deadly S+ grade poison.]

[You were not poisoned due to the SS-grade antidote Daepa effect.]

A message appeared in front of Sejun.

Sejun sighed in relief. “That was close.”

Suddenly, Karr the crow landed on Sejun’s shoulder. “Caw caw! I warned you!”

And then,

Kkamong the squirrel chattered loudly. “Squeak! Hey! Give me some too!”

“Kkamong, I told you that you can only eat dried sweet potato slices after running 10 laps.”

Sejun stopped Kkamong from trying to take Karr’s dried sweet potato slices.

Kkueng chuckled softly.

In the meantime, Kkueng approached the Baby Doll Mandrake.

Kkueng reached into the swamp and pulled out the mandrake. With a soft *plop*, the plant came free from the mud.

Suddenly, the mandrake plant shrieked, “Let go of me!!!”

The mandrake resisted and emitted purple gas from its leaves, but it had no effect on Kkueng.

Kkueng growled fiercely at the mandrake. The plant seemed to shrink back in fear, its leaves shaking.

Kkueng chuckled softly. “[Hehehe. Daddy, here it is!]”

Kkueng handed the mandrake he had subdued to Sejun.

“Okay. Thank you.”

Sejun carefully received the mandrake.

Then,

The mandrake grumbled, “What is this weakling?!”

Sejun was ignored again today.

Sejun grinned. “Oh, you think you’re tough, do you?”

Sejun took a drop of Daepa juice and let it *drip* onto the mandrake’s leaf,

The mandrake’s leaves *trembled* and shook. A small white dot appeared on the part where the Daepa juice had fallen.

The poison was detoxified.

Sejun chuckled, holding the Daepa close. ‘If you cause trouble, I’ll use this again.”

The mandrake stayed silent, clearly scared.

Theo looked worried.

Sejun smiled sweetly at the now-quiet mandrake. ‘See? Much better when you’re quiet.”

Sejun received Theo’s kneading and carefully planted the Baby Doll Mandrake in a small pot and put it in his subspace warehouse.

And then,

“Let’s go.”

Sejun gathered the dead creatures from the swamp. Once the poison was gone, they could be eaten. Then, they continued walking northwest.

The place they arrived at was,

As they walked, they heard a *whooshing* sound.

They saw blue fire moths flying into a giant blue flame.

“What are they doing?”

Theo shrugged. “Puhuhu. I don’t know!”

Kkueng chuckled softly.

“[Hehehe. Daddy, I think it would be delicious to grill meat there!]”

“I agree. It would be cooked just by putting it in and taking it out, right?”

“Puhuhu. Then make my grilled fish with that fire!”

“Should I?”

“Butler! Let’s make sweet potatoes there!”

“Uhehe. Shall I take out the ingredients?”

Sejun and his party were only thinking about grilling something over the fire since the disasters were dying on their own.

Just then…

Iona squeaked, sounding worried. “Sejun, the fire is getting stronger!”

But it was too late.

Boom!

The blue flame exploded! A huge fire moth, as big as a small car, flew out. It had black wings and black flames around them.

[Black Flame Fire Moth]

It was a fire moth that had evolved by sacrificing the bodies of 1 million blue flame fire moths for one fire moth.

But blue or black flames didn’t matter to Sejun and his friends. It was just dinner to them!

Sejun quickly gave orders. “Kkueng, make a typhoon! Iona, use your ice magic!”

A fierce typhoon trapped the Black Flame Fire Moth,

Iona chanted, “Squeak squeak squeak… Power of ice, come forth!”

Very quickly…

“Catch the black fire moth!”

Sejun, Kkueng, and Yuren searched everywhere, their eyes bright with excitement, hunting for the Black Flame Fire Moth.

The Black Flame Fire Moth was a very tasty treat.

While Sejun and his party were running around catching the Black Flame Fire Moth, the sky darkened, and the night deepened.

Just then, Batbat the bat woke up. ‘(Bat bat. Time to find treasure!)’ he squeaked.
