Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 654

“First, we need to find Mount Mering…” Sejun said, looking around. They had just stepped through the dimensional gate and arrived in a new place. He needed to find someone who knew about this area.

Suddenly, many small moths flew towards Yuren. It seemed like they were attracted to his bad luck, and they gathered around him quickly.

“We are the Storm Bat Gang!” shouted a small voice.

“Hand over everything you’ve got!” yelled another.

“If you resist, we’ll punish you with our ultimate technique!” cried a third.

Ten young bats surrounded Sejun and his friends, trying to look scary.

Sejun watched them with a small smile. “Oh my,” he thought, “are these little guys trying to rob us?” To him, they were just adorable.

Theo stepped forward, chuckling. “Heh heh! Refuse? Of course we refuse! What do you think we are, scaredy-cats? Meow!”

“Alright, kids,” Theo said louder, “let’s see this ‘ultimate technique’ of yours!”

“Yes! Boss!” the young bats squeaked together.

“Here we go! Ultimate!” shouted the leader bat.

“Super Bat Cyclone Attack!” they all yelled.

It was clear they had practiced this a lot. They lined up perfectly and started flapping their wings in a big circle.

Flap flap flap.

The air began to swirl. Dust and leaves lifted from the ground. Soon, a small whirlwind formed, growing bigger and stronger with each flap of their wings. The wind howled, and the swirling air became a furious storm.

Kwagwang!

The storm spun faster and faster, tearing up the ground. But it was moving away from Sejun and his group!

“Ugh…” cried one bat.

“Save me…” wailed another.

The wind inside the storm was too strong. The young bats were tossed around like leaves, until they fainted.

Theo tilted his head, watching the storm move away. “Are *they* running away?” he wondered aloud.

Sejun watched the storm disappear. Then, he slowly drew his sword.

Sreung.

He remembered Sejun No. 3’s wish.

However,

Whoosh. Whoosh. Whoosh.

Sejun swung his sword at the storm with all his might about ten times.

“Eh. It’s not working.”

Sejun No. 3’s wish would have to wait.

Clang.

He calmly put his sword back.

And then,

“Kkuenga.”

He looked at Kkuengi.

Kkueng!

The storm vanished instantly with Kkuengi’s loud bark.

Thud.

The bats fell to the ground as the storm stopped. But,

Kkueng!

Can’t have them getting hurt and unable to work!

Thump. Thump.

Kkuengi used his mind power to catch the falling bats gently.

A short time later, the bats woke up. Theo had already put his mark on them while they were out cold.

“Wow, you’re really strong to beat us!” said the leader bat. “We will follow you as our boss now!”

The young bats bowed to Sejun, completely forgetting they were supposed to be robbers. They were sure Sejun would want them as followers.

Sejun smiled to himself. ‘Hee hee hee. They recognized *me* as their boss. These bats must be special, destined for great things!’ He nodded, pleased.

With this small thing, the baby bats’ lives would change completely, in ways they couldn’t even imagine.

And so, Sejun made the Storm Bat Gang his followers.

“But what are your names?” He asked the young bats their names.

“I am Ilbok, the leader of the Storm Bat Gang!”

“Ibok!”

“Sambok!”

The bats said their names. Their names are truly blessed.

“But do you know about Mount Mering?” Sejun, having heard their names, asked the bats about the location where the treasure was hidden.

“I don’t know about Mount Mering, but I know about Lake Mering.”

“Not a mountain, but a lake?” Sejun was taken aback by Ilbok’s answer.

Tens of thousands of years had passed since the god who told the Earth Dragon about the treasure’s location hid the treasure and was imprisoned in Tartarus. It wasn’t strange for a mountain to become a lake in that time.

“Let’s go there for now.”

“Yes! It’s that way!” Sejun, without any information, decided to check out Lake Mering first, guided by the bats.

They started walking in the direction the bats pointed, the little bats flapping excitedly ahead. As they walked, the air suddenly felt strange, and then…

Zhiing.

Suddenly, the air shimmered and tore open, like ripping black cloth. From the dark tear in space, a swarm of locusts poured out, a buzzing, clicking wave of insects that filled the air.

Now, even disasters were being drawn to Yuren’s misfortune.

“Yuren, well done.”

“Uhehe. Thank you. But what for?”

“There’s a reason. Everyone, catch them!” Thanks to that, they could catch the locusts comfortably.

“Kkyut kkyut kkyut. Power of fire…” First, Iona used fire magic on the entrance where the locusts were coming out, burning their wings,

Thwack. Thwack.

[You have defeated the first disaster locust.]

[You have gained 100 experience.]

[The lucky merchant of the Guardian Black Tower, Park Theo, has defeated 100 of the first disaster locusts.]

[You have gained 5000, which is 50% of the experience acquired by the lucky merchant of the Guardian Black Tower, Park Theo.]

[Guardian Black Tower subject Yuren Damon…

When the remaining companions dealt with the locusts that could no longer fly,

Kkueng!

Kkuengi used telekinesis to neatly store them in the subspace warehouse.

Batbat was working with the Storm Bat Gang, who were the same bats,

“(Batbat. Kids, it’s easier if you do it like this.)” He kindly taught them how to make their wings sharp by coating them with magic power and caught the locusts.

“Batbat-nim, you’re amazing! I want to be like Batbat-nim in the future!”

“(Bae hee hee. Really? You can even do this later.)” Whoosh. As Batbat received the bats’ respectful gazes, he became proud and flew magical blades with his wings, instantly killing hundreds of locusts,

“Oh! You’re really amazing!”

“Can I do it too?!”

“(Batbat! Of course! I’ll teach you everything!)” He received the young bats’ adulation and diligently taught them his skills.

Of course, Batbat’s skills weren’t easy, so none of the young bats properly followed along.

1 hour later.

Sejun and his companions stored 10 billion locusts in the subspace warehouse.

“Let’s move out again!”

Feeling stronger and ready to go, they started walking again. After two hours,

“Sejun, that’s Lake Mering over there!”

Before them lay a huge lake, Lake Mering. The water was a bright green, like a shiny emerald gem. It was so big, they couldn’t see the other side. The air smelled fresh and clean, and they could hear the gentle sound of waves.

It was so big, it looked like a sea.

“This lake is huge! But it doesn’t matter. We have Theo!”

“Heh heh! That’s right, meow! Chairman Park only needs to trust in me, meow!”

Theo was so happy with Sejun’s words! He puffed out his chest and put his front paws on his hips, like a proud little boss.

“Meow!”

Theo extended a paw, focusing intently.

“Meow… I don’t feel any pull, meow…”

Soon, he lowered his paw with a sad voice.

“It’s alright. It might not be here.”

Sejun comforted Theo by stroking his head, trying to cheer him up.

We should check those islands first, right?

He gazed at the five islands in the lake.

Theo’s paws weren’t perfect. Sometimes, if the distance was too great or something was blocking the way, he couldn’t feel the pull.

“Kkuenga, let’s go over there.”

Kkueng!

And so, Sejun and his companions flew through the sky with Kkuenga’s psychokinesis, examining each island one by one. When they arrived at the third island,

“Meow?”

“What is this pull, meow?”

Theo felt a very faint pull. But this pull was very strange.

It was a strange feeling, like an itch where there was nothing to scratch. A pull that felt empty.

“Where is it, meow?!”

Theo desperately focused, determined to restore the pride of Sejun, who had praised him.

“Did you find something?”

Sejun quietly stayed by Theo’s side.

A moment later.

“I’m sure it’s here, meow!”

Theo soon found the exact location where the pull was felt.

However,

“How do I get there, meow?”

He knew the location, but he couldn’t reach it. It was as if multiple dimensions were overlapping in one place.

“Iona, help me, meow! Please examine this place, meow!”

Having no other option, Theo asked Iona, who was sleeping while clinging to his tail, for help.

“Kkyut kkyut kkyut. Leave it to me!”

Iona used various search spells, looking for anything suspicious.

But,

“Kkyung…”

She couldn’t detect anything suspicious.

They waited for a long time. Theo looked worried, and Iona kept trying her spells.

“Kkyut?!”

Iona’s search magic detected a subtle tear in the dimension.

“This is it!”

Iona began to interpret the dimension, pouring magic power into the tear.

A moment later.

Swoosh.

A door appeared in mid-air. Iona had found a hidden subspace door with her magic.

“Kkyut kkyut kkyut. Theo, you’re amazing! How did you find the entrance to the subspace?!”

That’s my cat!

Iona’s eyes sparkled as she showered Theo with praise.

Finding a hidden subspace entrance is very hard. It’s hidden in another dimension.

Even Iona, who is good at magic, almost couldn’t find it! Finding this hidden door was almost impossible.

Only special magic could find this entrance. That’s why the God of Creation was sure no one else would find it. He told the Earth Dragon about it, feeling safe. But now, it looked like they might be robbed by thieves!

“Heh heh. I know, meow! This body is originally amazing, meow!”

Puffed up with Iona’s praise,

“Chairman Park, I think this body has done something incredibly amazing, meow!”

Theo glanced at Sejun with expectant eyes.

However,

“Oh! As expected of our Vice Chairman Theo!”

Sejun’s reaction wasn’t as big as Iona’s.

Is finding this really that amazing?

Sejun smiled. He truly believed Theo could do anything. Theo always surprised him with his abilities.

So, he thought of finding the entrance to the subspace in the same vein.

However,

“Meow…”

Theo’s ears drooped a little. He felt a bit sad that he couldn’t find it right away. He wanted to show Sejun how good he was.

“Kkyu-Sejun, Theo just did something incredibly amazing that will go down in history! Please praise Theo more! Finding a hidden subspace entrance is not easy at all! Iona started to explain how dimensional magic works, but…”

“I don’t understand what you’re saying, meow.”

Blank…

Theo, who had been listening with a blank expression, shouted at Sejun with a triumphant look as soon as Iona finished speaking,

“Heh heh! That’s right, meow! Praise this body more, meow!”

Blank…

“Ah. Sorry. Vice Chairman Theo, you did really well! I didn’t realize it was that amazing. As expected, our Vice Chairman Theo is the pillar of Sejun Company.”

Of course, Sejun, who had been listening with a blank expression, also hurriedly praised Theo.

Because if he didn’t praise him and held out, Iona’s explanation would start again.

“Heh heh. I know, meow!”

Theo wore a face that showed he was very happy with Sejun’s praise.

“Kkyut kkyut kkyut.”

I’m happy because Theo is smiling.

Iona, who had successfully supported Theo, also wore a happy expression.

After coddling Theo until he was satisfied,

Swoosh.

Sejun opened the door to the subspace. The door had no separate lock, so it opened easily.

Then,

“Wow!”

“How much is all this?!”

The door opened to a room filled with treasure! Gold coins glittered in huge piles. Jewels sparkled like stars. There were chests overflowing with necklaces and rings. It was more treasure than they had ever imagined.

“Guys, let’s pack it up.”

Sejun and his party excitedly loaded treasure into the subspace warehouse.

However,

“Huh?!”

“There’s no space?”

The space in the subspace warehouse, already filled with the corpses of disasters, quickly ran out.

“I have no choice.”

Sejun couldn’t just throw away the cooking ingredients.

With no other choice, he offered the remaining treasures to the Creation God’s Stone Monument,

[1000 trillion Top Coins, one of the prices to be paid to the Creation God’s Stone Monument to create a new world law, has been filled.]

As time passed, a message appeared, and the Creation God’s Stone Monument could no longer absorb treasures.

“There’s still a lot left…”

Should I leave it behind?

As Sejun looked at the treasure with a sad look,

“Kkyut kkyut kkyut. Oh, power of dimension…”

Iona used magic,

[A new subspace is about to be connected to the subspace of Black Tower Top Farmer Park Sejun.]

[Would you like to allow it?]

A message appeared in front of Sejun.

“Iona, thank you!”

Sejun looked at Iona, who was using magic, with grateful eyes. He wondered what she was doing, but she was taking the entire subspace.

“Of course, I’ll allow it.”

With Sejun’s permission, a door appeared at the end of Sejun’s subspace.

“Heh heh heh. You guys take this. Alright, let’s go back.”

“Thank you! Thank you!”

Before leaving, Sejun gave the bats of the Storm Bat Brigade a lump of gold the size of a fist each and returned to >Noil> with his companions.

“Let’s have breakfast now.”

Sejun and his companions watched the rising sun and enjoyed a delicious breakfast.

Hehe. Squeak!

[Hehe. Master! Give me food too!]

“No. Blackie has to run first.”

Of course, Blackie, who had only slept all night, had to run around the perimeter 10 times to eat roasted sweet potato jerky.

Squeak… Squeak…

[Master is bad… The great Blackie is sleepy and hungry… ]

Blackie, still not fully awake, felt sorry for himself.
