Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 661

The Forest of Creation.

[Hehet. Mission complete!]

[Good work. Spark 220.]

[Then I’ll take a rest.]

After reporting to the main body, Spark, the avatar Spark 220’s body turned into dust. Spark 220’s consciousness then returned to the main body.

[Now there’s only one left…]

Spark spoke. Her voice showed she both disliked and loved the idea.

Spark was taking the fourth Creation Tree test. To pass, she needed to turn the last barren land into a place full of life. The Creation Tree test is a challenge to create and nurture life. Passing it would greatly increase her powers.

Just a moment ago, Spark 225 had found the last barren land, Eriel.

Her heart was complicated.

If she passed the test, her power would increase, making it harder to meet Sejun. But if she didn’t get stronger, she couldn’t protect Sejun from powerful enemies.

It was a difficult situation.

But now, more than ever, she needed the power to protect Sejun.

The world looked peaceful, but Spark felt something dangerous underneath. It was much worse than she imagined. This world was more dangerous than she realized.

Those who had only seen a few dozen worlds couldn’t understand, but Spark, who had roots in millions of worlds, could sense it.

A great danger was coming.

[I need the power to protect Sejun-nim then.]

Spark said with a determined voice and began to transform the last barren land, Eriel, into a land full of life.

[You have arrived on the 99th floor of the Black Tower.]

…

Sejun, after defeating the disasters of Ticha, arrived at the 99th floor of the Black Tower. The Black Tower is a place Sejun is climbing to gain strength and overcome challenges.

“Aileen, I’m back.”

[The Tower Manager says you’ve worked hard.]

[The Tower Manager asks if you’ve had dinner.]

“No. I’m about to eat now.”

Sejun was talking to Aileen when suddenly, *clang!* The door to his subspace warehouse opened with a loud sound.

“Puhuhu! Chairman Park, I missed you so much, meow!” Theo cried happily.

*Kkueng! Kking!* Kkuengi and the little Blackie cats tumbled out after Theo. They rushed towards Sejun and jumped all over him, purring and meowing with excitement.

However,

Thump.

Sejun gently put Blackie down on the ground.

Kking! Kking!

[Let go of this! The great Blackie-nim doesn’t want to walk!]

Blackie struggled, not wanting to go down, but

“Blackie, you have to walk. You need to move to lose weight.”

Sejun was firm.

Kking···

[The great Blackie-nim isn’t fat…]

Grumbling like that, Sejun headed to the kitchen with Blackie following closely behind. The kitchen smelled of delicious spices and grilling meat.

“Sejun Unit 12, please make me some pork cutlets.”

Sejun asked Sejun Unit 12, his robot chef, to make his food and then grilled Theo’s fish.

The roasted peanuts that Iona would eat were made in large quantities at once and stored in Iona’s subspace pocket.

About 1 ton?

It seemed like there would be no need to roast peanuts for at least half a year.

When dinner was ready,

“Here. Blackie moved a lot today, so here are two dried sweet potatoes.”

Kkihihit.

Sejun took care of Blackie’s meal and ate his dinner.

Just as dinner was coming to an end.

Kkueng!

[It’s Mom!]

Kkuengi, who had been diligently eating with his head buried in his rice bowl, suddenly turned his head to look in one direction.

And then,

Thud. Thud.

Kroooooh.

[Sejun-nim, you’ve worked hard.]

Soon, heavy footsteps were heard, and Pink Fur appeared. He was on his way home from special training, intending to take Kkuengi with him.

Kkuhehehe.

Kkuengi quickly finished the rest of his meal and clung to Pink Fur’s chest like a koala.

Kkueng!

[Dad, good night!]

“Okay. Sleep well, Kkuengi.”

He waved his front paws at Sejun and left with Pink Fur.

As Kkuengi and Pink Fur left, Sejun and his party finished the rest of their dinner and headed to the bedroom. The bedroom was cozy and warm, ready for a good night’s sleep.

And then,

Koreeeh.

Grolong.

Kkyurorong.

Kkirorong.

…

Soon, the bedroom was filled with the sound of snoring.

“Our… kids a bit…”

Of course, they weren’t sleeping; Sejun and his party were apologizing.

Meanwhile, the night deepened.

(Bat bat. Good night, everyone.)

Bat Bat started his activities.

Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.

Bat Bat ate the fruit Sejun had prepared and filled his belly, then

Whoosh. Whoosh.

He began searching for the remaining worlds where treasures were hidden.

However, he was out of luck this night and couldn’t find the world he wanted, and dawn broke again.

“Oof.”

Sejun got up energetically.

His mind had been working continuously, but his body had rested, so he wasn’t tired.

In fact, it wasn’t a problem with his body but rather thanks to Sejun’s high mental strength.

His body was already so strong that he wouldn’t feel tired even if he didn’t sleep for ten days, and his mental strength had surpassed 30,000, so he wouldn’t feel tired even if he stayed awake for several days.

Sleeping was just a habit. There was no need to sleep.

Of course, Sejun wasn’t fully aware of his condition, but

“Sleep is the best medicine.”

Even if he knew, nothing would change.

Sejun woke up with such a refreshed mind and body.

“Meow…”

Kking…

After taking care of the Theo couple and the Blackie family,

Clang.

He opened the subspace warehouse. It was to check on the disaster farms.

“First, the Locusts.”

Creak.

As Sejun opened the door to the Locust farm,

Flutter.

There were so many Locusts that almost no space was visible.

And then,

“Huh?!”

White?

Sejun was taken aback.

[White Locust]

All the Locusts had turned white.

The characteristic of Locusts is that they evolve into stronger individuals as their numbers increase.

And as their numbers rapidly increased with a sufficient supply of food without any interference, they evolved into the final evolved form, the White Locust.

Hehehe. Then that means they’ve become much more delicious in an already delicious state?

This was very welcome news to Sejun.

Creak.

Sejun then checked the Giant Bloodsucking Leech farm.

“Huh?”

In this place, there were leeches that had devoured each other and reached their final evolution.

[Leech of True Blood]

They were about Sejun’s height and red in color. They looked slimy and a little scary.

Their size had decreased, but he had no doubt that they would be delicious.

Creak.

Sejun then checked the Petrifying Spider farm with great anticipation.

Sejun peered into the spider farm. Something had changed. On some of the Stone Flower Spiders, patches of bright blue were appearing, like the sky peeking through clouds.

Then, he saw a spider that was completely different. It was a Stone Flower Ray Spider, its body a deep, shimmering blue, and its legs a striking, bright green. Judging by the name, Sejun thought they might now be able to petrify things with a ray from their eyes, without even needing to bite.

Creak.

The Moth Farm was exactly as he’d left it.

Sejun opened the door to the last farm – the Slime Farm.

Besides the familiar brown slimes, he noticed some were dark brown and others almost black.

Then, five golden slimes caught his eye. They had reached their final evolution: Gold Slimes.

“Heh heh heh.”

What should I eat this morning?

Sejun’s stomach rumbled, and a happy smile spread across his face. He decided on locust meat.

“Alright. I’ll have chicken for breakfast.”

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, chicken for breakfast? Isn’t that a bit… unusual?” Theo tilted his head, confused.

Sejun just grinned. “I just really want to eat chicken today, Theo.”

“Puhuhut. I understand, nyang!”

“Okay.”

Having made Theo understand, Sejun opened the Locust Farm.

Scritch. Scritch.

[You have defeated the first disaster of destruction, the White Locust.]

[You have gained 100 million experience.]

[You have gained an additional 100 million experience due to the effect of >Title: Owner of the Disaster Farm>.]

Sejun caught 100 locusts.

“Sejun No. 12, make chicken stew with this.”

Sejun asked Sejun No. 12 to cook, and he duplicated the seaweed soup and Choco Pies that Sejun No. 12 had made in advance.

“Ah. And Yonggari Chicken too.”

Sejun didn’t forget Ace. Although Ace’s affection for Sejun was already at its highest, he didn’t neglect to score points.

He also made sure to care for Kaiser, Anton, and Elizabeth.

“Mother, Father, hello! Have you eaten?” Sejun spoke into the Bronze Mirror of Yearning.

His mother’s voice replied, “Yes, dear. Has Aileen eaten too?”

“Yes.”

Aileen was doing the same, using the Bronze Mirror of Yearning every day to score points with Sejun’s family.

“But Mother, are you okay not talking to Sejun?”

“Yes. Sejun will take care of himself. I like talking to our Aileen more.”

“Ahem. Me too.”

Sejun’s father, Park Chun-ho, who had been quietly listening to Aileen’s question, subtly chimed in with an answer. Aileen was more popular with Sejun’s family than Sejun himself.

A short while later.

“Aileen, here.”

Sejun sent seaweed soup and Choco Pies to Aileen.

Thud. Thud.

“Pink Fur, here.”

Soon after, he gave a Choco Pie to Pink Fur, who appeared carrying Kkuengi, and then ate breakfast with his companions.

Kkuhehehe. Kkueng!

[Hehehe. The chicken stew is delicious!]

“Kuh. Good.”

Sejun also took a sip of the chicken stew and exclaimed in admiration.

However, it would be perfect if there were fernbrake…

Soon, regret washed over him.

Should I ask Theo to get some fernbrake seeds from Her?

“No. I’m already asking for a lot, so I can’t burden her.”

If Her knew, she would have gotten it right away…

It was Her who missed the opportunity to earn welfare points.

“Come to think of it, tomorrow is the day the seed shop opens.”

Let’s look forward to tomorrow for now.

Sejun sighed contentedly after the chicken stew, even though the lack of fernbrake was a small disappointment. He took a final sip, the warm, savory broth coating his tongue. Then, he rinsed his mouth with Kkuengi’s strong coffee, the bitter taste a pleasant contrast.

At that moment,

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, give me money, nyang! I need money to open a new floor, nyang!” Theo, who was preparing to go to work, demanded money.

After 30 days, 1 trillion Top Coins were needed to open a new floor.

“Here.”

Sejun had a vast amount of money stored away, so giving Theo 1 trillion Top Coins felt like nothing. He handed it over easily.

“Puhuhut. Thank you, nyang!”

Theo received the money from Sejun and put it towards the Traveling Merchant’s Bundle, his target item, the Nine Towers.

“Iona, wait, nyang!”

“Kkyung… Yes.”

He soothed Iona, who was hanging on his tail, put her down, and went into the bundle to check where it was connected.

Meanwhile, Sejun was thinking of taking care of urgent matters and going home. He wanted to go right away, but he couldn’t let Kibid be destroyed.

It was a sense of responsibility that he couldn’t turn a blind eye to what he could do, and it was also because he couldn’t bear to see Lamter heartbroken when Kibid was destroyed.

“Aileen, please take care of these treasures.”

Instead, Sejun entrusted 90% of the treasures in the subspace warehouse to Aileen to prevent Theo from burning the wealth. Theo was the kind of guy who would burn all that money.

A short while later, Theo came out of the bundle.

“Where is it connected to?” Sejun asked Theo.

“Puhuhut. It’s the 48th floor of the Blue Tower, nyang! Chairman Park, I’ll go make a lot of money, nyang! Iona, see you later, nyang!”

Theo told Sejun the location connected to the bundle, said goodbye to Sejun and Iona, and went to work.

“Kkyung…” Iona walked to the bedroom with a gloomy expression. She would probably hug Theo Ball and sleep until Theo came back.

Kkuhehehe. Kkueng!

[Hehehe. Daddy, Kkuengi is going to work too!]

“Okay. Bring back a lot of herbs.”

Kkueng!

[Okay!]

Kkuengi also went to work in the herb field.

“Blackie, let’s work.”

Sejun also started farming with Blackie.

Squeak…

Blackie made an unwilling expression, but

“Blackie, I’ll give you one dried sweet potato for every thousand seeds you plant.”

Keeheeheet. Squeak!

[Heehee. Great Blackie, plant the seeds well!]

Blackie regained his energy at the mention of a reward.

Thus, Sejun and Blackie farmed on the 99th floor of the Black Tower, went to the 10th Tower to farm again, and moved to the Sky Bean Planet to farm again.

Squeak…

[Great Blackie, I give up now…]

20 dried sweet potatoes are enough.

Blackie eventually collapsed before arriving at the Sky Bean Planet.

Thud. Thud.

Sejun arrived at the Sky Bean Planet and diligently planted beans that reached the sky, growing the planet. Sejun was always busy, but he became even busier with the Disaster Farm.

However,

“Heh heh heh. It’s rewarding.”

Sejun smiled as he planted the beans. His back might ache, and his hands were covered in soil, but there was a deep satisfaction in watching things grow, in creating something from nothing. This is why I do it, he thought, feeling a sense of peace settle over him.

[You have achieved the great creation achievement of creating a planet.]
