Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 665

The Black Tower’s 99th floor was quiet after lunch. Sunlight, though not from a real sun, streamed in, making dust motes dance in the air.

“Kkamang, let’s go.”

“Hihit. Alright! The great Kkamang-nim will accompany his butler!”

Sejun took his Kkamang family through the dimensional gate to the surface of Skybean Planet.

As Sejun and Kkamang appeared,

Kiki!

Kyakyakya!

The Doom Pioneers and Doom Devourers welcomed them.

“Wow. You’ve gathered a lot.”

Sejun planted the Doom Devourer seeds and Doom Pioneer seeds piled in one place.

“Hihit. Everyone, the butler gave this to the great Kkamang-nim!”

Kkamang puffed out his chest, holding the stone ball high. He boasted about the stone ball Sejun gave him to his subordinates.

“The great Kkamang-nim will specially allow you to play with him!”

They played with the stone ball together.

“Good! Move it over there!”

He made his subordinates roll the stone ball to a sloped area.

“Hihit. Here it goes!”

Thump.

Kkamang alone enjoyed following and catching the rolling stone ball. Kkamang loved to watch the stone ball roll fast down the small hill. He made his friends push it up for him, then he’d chase after it, barking with delight.

Kkamang’s playful mind, wanting to enjoy pleasure without effort.

The Doom Pioneers and Doom Devourers preferred to slowly push the stone ball rather than chase after the rapidly rolling stone ball. Honestly, the stone ball wasn’t the issue; being able to play with Kkamang was more important to them.

While Kkamang was having fun with his subordinates, Sejun carefully pushed each Doom Devourer seed into the soft soil. The seeds were small and dark, promising to grow into something amazing. After an hour of bending and planting, his back started to ache.

“Aigo. My back.”

Sejun stretched his back for a moment and looked around. He looked up at the blue energy above. It really did look like a sky, a bright, endless blue. It was strange and beautiful, like a dream sky.

“It really looks like the sky when you see it like this.”

He realized that Skybean Planet didn’t have an official name.

“Come to think of it, it doesn’t have a name yet?”

“Hehehe. Then I should give it one.”

When you think about it, Sejun was the creator of this planet. So, he had the responsibility to name it.

What should I name it?

As Sejun was pondering the name of the planet, Kkamang, still chasing the stone ball, suddenly stopped. He tilted his head, his ears twitching. He watched Sejun, his playful mood changing to intense focus.

“Butler is naming it!”

To watch Sejun’s naming show from the front row, he hurriedly ran to Sejun.

“Butler! Give it a funny name after a long time!”

He sat right in front of Sejun and looked at Sejun with expectant eyes.

Sejun thought for a moment, then said, ‘Kkamyeol Great Star.’ It means… well, it’s a name that shows how Kkamang, who used to be small and just making gas, became big and strong, like this planet. It’s a good name, even if it sounds a bit silly.

“Kkamyeol Great Star.”

It contained very good meanings, such as the merit of Kkabul-to who spewed out gas, absorbing the energy of destruction and the body of the Apostle of Destruction, and becoming a big planet.

“Hihit. As expected, Butler! Kkamyeol Great Star!”

“Sejun-nim, you are amazing!”

Kkiluk!

Shararang!

The reaction of the Kkamang family was very enthusiastic.

While the Kkamang family was happy,

[Talent: Namer effect has been activated.]

[A special effect has been imbued in the name Kkamyeol Great Star.]

[The durability of Kkamyeol Great Star has increased.]

[Kkamyeol Great Star can now move by spewing out 100 billion liters of gas per day.]

[Kkamyeol Great Star can now absorb the energy of destruction to increase the size of the planet.]

The Namer effect was activated, and special effects were imbued in Kkamyeol Great Star. Even though ‘Kkamyeol Great Star’ was a funny-sounding name, the meaning behind it was strong and positive. And because of the Namer effect, these good meanings became real.

Sejun, who named it Kkamyeol Great Star, was planting seeds again when Just as Sejun was about to plant more seeds, he heard familiar voices calling out.

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I’m back, meow!”

Kkuhehehe. Kkueng!

[Hehehe. Kkueng is here too!]

“You guys worked hard.”

Theo and Kkueng came to find him, and Sejun finished his work and went home.

And while Sejun No. 12 was preparing dinner,

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, look at this, meow! I made a lot of money, meow!”

Theo took out the money he received from Bocell and shouted in a triumphant voice.

Kkuhehehe. Kkueng! Kkueng!

[Hehehe. Daddy, look at this! It’s a new herb!]

Kkueng also took out a herb that hadn’t been in the herb field until now and acted proudly.

[15-day-old Magical Ginger]

Ginger?

“Kkueng, I’ll enjoy it. But where did you get this?”

Sejun asked, puzzled. As far as Sejun knew, there was no ginger in the herb field.

Kkuhehehe. Kkueng!

[Hehehe. Kkueng grew it and dug it up!]

“Yeah. That’s right. But where did you get the ginger seeds?”

Kkueng!

[Mommy got them for me!]

“Pink Fur?”

[The tower manager says that Pink Fur asked some wolf friends to get herbs.]

Aileen solved Sejun’s curiosity. Aileen explained, ‘Pink Fur asked some wolf friends to bring back any interesting herbs they found for Kkueng.’

For her son, who was a herbalist, Pink Fur asked the free mercenary wolves to bring herbs if they found them. The wolves, who received Pink Fur’s request, transported or escorted goods and brought herbs to the 99th floor of the tower if they saw them. And Kkueng was growing those herbs. Aileen paid for the herbs that the wolves brought. Those herbs would eventually go into Sejun’s mouth the most.

“Kkueng, do you have anything else besides ginger?”

Kkueng!

[There are three more!]

“Really? What are they?”

According to Kkueng, there were angelica shoots, sophora root, and oriental raisin tree.

“Kkueng, let’s not grow sophora root.”

I don’t want to eat sophora root. It’s very bitter.

Sejun opposed the cultivation of sophora root in order to prevent himself from eating it, but

[Aileen’s voice echoed in your mind] Good medicine is bitter, Sejun! Eat it and get strong!

“No! That’s not true! I’ll eat it!”

He hurriedly reversed his opinion at Aileen’s words.

What are the options?

He checked the ginger that Kkueng brought.

[15-day-old Magical Ginger]

Ginger grown in the tower for 15 days, grown by an excellent herbalist, greatly increasing its medicinal properties. The sweetness has increased. Upon consumption, magic power increases by 10, and magic power potential increases by 50. Cultivator: Advanced Herbalist Kkueng. Expiration date: 100 days. Grade: B+

The options were decent. No. It was excellent for a 15-day-old.

I should make some ginger tea.

“Sejun No. 12, make me some ginger tea with this.”

Sejun told Sejun No. 12 what to do.

“Heh heh heh. Chairman Park, aren’t you curious how I made my money?” Theo asked, his face eager for the question. He seemed a little upset that only Kkuengyi had asked.

“How did you get it?”

“Heh heh heh. Listen! I went to the 48th floor of the Blue Tower, and Bocell…” Theo began to brag about giving Bocell a simple compliment badge and getting paid.

Clang.

Sejun listened to Theo while also checking on his Calamity Farm.

Scritch. Scritch.

Kkueng!

Kkuengyi and about 10,000 White Locusts were working hard. They had defeated most of the monsters. The strongest monsters were kept in a special storage space.

Because of their hard work, the high-level tasks were almost done.

Chirp!

[Everyone, please have dinner!]

Shari, who was waiting in the cafeteria, flew over and called everyone.

“Okay. I’m coming!” Sejun said and took his group to the cafeteria for dinner.

While they were eating, a message appeared before Sejun.

[The Blessing of Destruction has disappeared.]

A week had passed since the God of Destruction, Ruin, had placed the Blessing of Destruction on Sejun, and now it was gone.

“It’s finally gone,” Sejun said with relief, taking off the gloves he was wearing.

“I think I understand your feelings a little now. Everything breaks if I just touch it…” he said, acting a bit cocky.

“Chairman Park, your face is rotting!” Theo said, and of course, the price for acting cocky was Theo’s kneading.

Kkueng!

Hee hee hee. Squeak!

Additionally, Kkuengyi and Blackie also stepped on Sejun’s face.

“Hey! Park Blackie, where have you been playing?!” Sejun asked, furious at the stickiness he felt every time Blackie stepped on his face.

Earlier, while playing in the Calamity Extermination Fortress, sap from a plant’s stem had gotten all over Blackie’s paws.

The peaceful day ended with happy noise as Sejun chased Blackie, laughter echoing through the room. The air filled with playful shouts and the soft thumps of paws on the floor.

“Alright. Let’s work hard again today!” Sejun said. After taking Kkuengyi to Pink Fur, he and his group lay down on the bed and entered Blackie’s mental world.

At first, he cursed the system for giving stingy rewards, but it was better than nothing. Still, having a reward motivated him a little.

“This is delicious. Eat it deliciously and please forgive our kids.”

“Heh heh heh. This fish is grilled by our great Hybrid Chairman Park, so it’s delicious! Try it!”

“Kkyut kkyut kkyut. Please try these roasted peanuts too!”

“I’ll give you a good dream!”

Thus, in Blackie’s mental world, Sejun, Theo, Iona, and Gilsoon Nightmare soothed the hearts of the souls.

“I’m really sorry.”

“I’m sorry.”

The Blackie family diligently apologized and received forgiveness from the souls.

Gurgle.

The Corruption appeared again without fail.

Sejun hurriedly looked at the Corruption.

Whoosh.

Fire ignited on the Corruption’s hideous body and began to burn. He thought it would say something similar to usual, but today was different.

-Foun…d…

The ominous feeling was beyond comparison to usual. The goosebumps on his neck and arms, and the trembling hands, showed how afraid Sejun was.

“Found what?!” Sejun shouted.

Disappear quickly!

Sejun, terrified, stared at the Corruption with such force that the blood vessels in his eyes burst, and the Corruption vanished in an instant.

“Huff. Huff.” Sejun was breathing heavily.

“Chairman Park, are you okay?!” Theo hurriedly clung to Sejun’s knees.

Squeak! Squeak!

[Master! Don’t worry! The great Blackie will protect you!] Blackie also rushed to Sejun’s side and stood guard, putting strength into his four legs.

Fortunately, nothing happened, perhaps because the word ‘found’ didn’t mean an immediate attack.

“I’m okay now,” Sejun said, calmed down thanks to Theo and Blackie. He apologized to the souls again with his group.

Kuh-err.

Goro-rong.

Kkyu-ro-rong.

Kki-ro-rong.

The bedroom was filled only with the sound of Sejun and his group snoring.

(Bat bat. Good night, everyone.) Batbat woke up and started his activities.

Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.

Delicious!

First, Batbat started with a meal.

At that moment,

[Batbat.]

Podori’s root entered the cafeteria and called Batbat.

(Bat bat. Podori, what’s wrong?)

[Batbat, there’s something you need to do.]

(Bat bat?)

[Fire asked you to do it.]

(Bat bat?! Fire?!)

[Yes. You must do it! No! Please do it!] Podori spoke to Batbat in a very earnest voice.

Fire sends an incarnation to raise Podori and Sausage whenever Sejun leaves the tower. He had Podori convey his words to Batbat in order to get Sejun to find [Erial].

Of course, if Batbat didn’t fulfill the request, it would be assumed that Podori hadn’t properly conveyed Fire’s words.

(Bat bat. So, should I open a portal to Erial?)

[Yes. But open the portal and come right back to be with Sejun. Definitely! Or it’s dangerous.]

(Bat bat?)

It’s not safe unless I go with Sejun, what does that mean?

Batbat couldn’t understand Podori’s words but decided to follow Fire’s instructions.

I can feel Fire’s energy strongly here!

Whoosh. Whoosh.

He created a portal while tracking Fire’s energy. There were many of Fire’s incarnations, so he couldn’t find it right away, but…

[Batbat, you came!]

Soon, he found Fire’s incarnation No. 253 hiding in a crack in the rock.

At that moment,

[Oh?! Batbat, go back quickly!] Fire shouted urgently at Batbat.

(Bat bat! Yes!) Batbat hurriedly flew towards the portal.

What is it?

Batbat, unable to resist his curiosity, glanced back at Fire.

Crack!

A small, insignificant-looking ant approached at an incredibly fast speed and bit Fire No. 253, tearing it in two.

Rustle.

A swarm of ants quickly crawled towards Batbat.

Meanwhile, Batbat crossed the portal, and the ants followed Batbat across the portal.

Crack. Crack.

Fire’s incarnation died to these weaklings?!

As soon as Batbat crossed the portal, he killed the small ants whose strength and speed were significantly reduced, realizing why Fire had told him to bring Sejun.
