Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 680

Sejun woke up in his bed and stretched his arms. “Heh heh,” he said to himself with a smile, “Reborn Park Sejun. I feel so much stronger and lighter!” He looked at his reflection in the window. “And maybe a little more handsome too?” he thought, chuckling softly.

It was midnight in the Black Tower, high up on the 99th floor. Outside, the stars twinkled in the dark sky.

(Tweet tweet. Good night, everyone.)

Tweet Tweet, who had woken up later than usual after busily running around all day to gather money to save Sejun, began his activities.

“I’m hungry.”

Flap. Flap.

Tweet Tweet headed to the cafeteria first to fill his belly.

“-Tweet Tweet, thank you for earlier today. You’re the best, Tweet Tweet!”

(Baehehe.)

He felt happy seeing the note and fruit bento box that Sejun had left.

And

“I’ll quickly find treasures and fill Sejun’s subspace warehouse! That way, Sejun will be happier and healthier!”

Burning with enthusiasm to find the treasures hidden by the gods of Tartarus,

Suck. Suck. Suck.

“Delicious!”

A short while later.

Once the meal was finished,

Whoosh. Whoosh.

Tweet Tweet diligently opened dimensional doors, searching for the remaining three worlds among the five worlds that Earthworm had found: >Kpies>, >Nyamoke>, and >Tsuine>.

After wandering through dozens of worlds like that,

Whoosh.

Tweet Tweet, having created a dimensional door to a new world, looked around and discovered an inhabitant.

“He looks like Big Brother and Sejun!”

What Tweet Tweet found was a cat person, a Myoin.

(Tweet Tweet! What’s the name of this world?)

Tweet Tweet approached him with a sense of familiarity and asked,

“You ask about the name of this world? Nyahaha! That’s an interesting question. This place is Nyamoke, nya. And I am Hiren, nya.”

He was able to get the answer he wanted from the Myoin, who had an accent similar to Theo’s Granian dialect.

(Tweet Tweet! I finally found it!)

Tweet Tweet was delighted to have found the world where the treasure was hidden.

Where did this fellow come from? He looks strangely cute.

Hiren looked at Tweet Tweet with eyes mixed with curiosity and greed. Of course, his intentions were not good.

However,

If I make a dimensional door right in front of where the treasure is, Sejun will be even happier, right?!

Tweet Tweet was so focused on wanting to make Sejun happier that he didn’t notice Hiren’s gaze.

And

(Baehehe! Hiren, do you happen to know Erion Castle?)

He asked Hiren if he knew the location where the treasure was hidden.

“Erion Castle, you say? Of course, I know it, nya. I will guide you, nya.”

(Tweet Tweet! Really?! Thank you!)

And so, on the way to Erion Castle with Hiren.

(Tweet Tweet! But I don’t see any other residents here? Where did everyone go?)

Tweet Tweet began to wonder why he hadn’t seen a single other resident of >Nyamoke> while wandering around.

“Of course not. This is my land, nya. And everything on my land is mine, nya.”

Hiren satisfied Tweet Tweet’s curiosity. Hiren smiled in a way that didn’t look friendly.

(Tweet Tweet?!)”

Tweet Tweet, sensing something was wrong, hurriedly tried to fly high into the sky, but

“Nyahaha! It’s already too late, nya. Shackles of sealing, bind him, nya!”

Flash.

Suddenly, a huge purple magic circle appeared on the ground, and

Clatter.

Huge iron chains with shackles at the end surrounded Tweet Tweet.

Clang.

Before he knew it, Tweet Tweet’s legs were shackled.

It was a shackle that Tweet Tweet could easily break with his power, but

Huh?!

The moment the shackle was fastened, Tweet Tweet’s thoughts returned to the time when he was trapped alone in the subspace warehouse by Skaram in the past.

At the same time, Tweet Tweet became terrified and helpless. It was a trauma.

He thought he had overcome it well, but he had merely been suppressing it while with Sejun.

(Tweet… Tweet… Sejun… I can’t breathe… I’m scared…)

Tweet Tweet fell into a panic and lost consciousness,

Clatter.

The chains dragged Tweet Tweet into the magic circle. And as Tweet Tweet was sucked into the ground, the magic circle disappeared.

“Nyahaha! My collection has increased, nya.”

The corrupted hero of >Nyamoke> who obtained a new trophy. The abyss witch Hiren headed to her castle.

To her original destination, Erion Castle.

***

The Forest of Creation.

“Candidate of the Creation Tree. You have succeeded in turning all five barren lands into lands full of life. The fourth test is also passed. Good work. Receive your reward.”

With the Stone Statue of Trials acknowledging that she had passed the fourth test, Fire Flower’s power rapidly increased.

However

[Hehet. Is only the last test left now?]

Although her power had increased unlike usual, Fire Flower was not downcast.

It was okay because now that she could stay with Sejun even if she passed the test and her power increased.

Because if she held her breath with >Creation Tree Law: Weakened when holding breath> and used >Authority: Frail Pretty Girl>, she could stay by Sejun’s side for about an hour.

Unfortunately, she could not use the above law and authority as an incarnation.

Ah. I think it would be okay to increase it by about 3 minutes since Sejun has become a bit stronger.

[Hehet. Exciting]

Fire Flower was happy that Sejun had been reborn and become stronger.

[Then when is the last test?]

She asked the Stone Statue of Trials about the schedule for the fifth test, and

“The test has already begun.”

[Huh?! You didn’t even tell me the test content?]

“The fifth test to become a candidate for the Creation Tree is to find the problem first.”

She learned that she had to find the problem first.

And

[Incarnations, quickly scatter and search.]

[Hehet. Yes!]

[Hehet. Yes!]

···

..

.

Fire Flower began to release her incarnations into thousands of worlds to find the last test problem.

***

“Oof.”

Sejun, whose body had become lighter due to yesterday’s rebirth, got up energetically.

“Heh heh. Reborn Park Sejun. How dashing.”

His face had also become handsome, and his body had improved.

Sejun took some time to indulge in self-admiration.

Is it okay?

He glanced at Theo without realizing it.

Gurgle.

Kyururung.

Fortunately, Theo was fast asleep with Iona.

Then

Why do I have to be aware of Theo?!

He felt inexplicably bad,

Squeeze.

He grabbed Theo’s cheek and pulled it out.

“Hehehe. Caught you!”

As Sejun touched Theo’s mochi-like cheeks and his bad mood almost disappeared,

“Mumble… Sorry… Sleepy…”

Theo apologized in his sleep.

“Hehehe.”

Sejun, feeling completely better after seeing Theo like that, took care of the Theo couple and the Blackie family before going outside.

A loud clang echoed in the quiet space as Sejun opened the heavy door.

He opened the door to his magic storage room, a place where he kept all sorts of strange and wonderful things.

As he always did, Sejun looked around the Disaster Farm. It was a strange place filled with plants that glowed with an eerie light and strange creatures that scuttled in the shadows. Today, he was hunting Locusts.

Sejun spoke to his cat companion, Theo. “Theo, your claws, please.”

Theo was no ordinary cat. He was the Black Tower Luck Merchant, and he had magical claws.

“Okay, okay,” Theo mumbled sleepily.

Theo was still sleepy, so his claws emerged slowly, like they were reluctant to wake up.

Sejun gently took Theo’s paw, pointed it towards the Locusts, and then lightly squeezed Theo’s paw pad.

With a whoosh of air, a blade of pure magic shot from Theo’s claws, flying straight towards the Locusts. This was Theo’s special skill, the One Nya Power.

Whoosh. Whoosh.

Sejun used Theo’s One Nya Power again and again, quickly eliminating the Locusts. Even though Theo was still half-asleep, his magic was powerful.

Messages popped up in front of Sejun’s eyes: *Black Tower Luck Merchant, Park Theo, has eliminated the White Locust! Experience gained: 50 million.* Because Sejun was the *Owner of the Disaster Farm*, he got an extra 100 million experience points.

Working with Theo was easier and faster, even though he only gained half the experience compared to hunting alone.

Sejun used his special ability, *Petty and Timid Intrusion*, to gather the Locust corpses. This power let him secretly pull things towards him from up to 100 meters away.

He moved on to the next Disaster Farm, checking each one quickly.

Suddenly, messages flashed before his eyes: *Congratulations! You have leveled up! Bonus stats: 10! Strength increased by 30! Strength potential increased by 1%!*

While working in the Slime Farm, Sejun leveled up and reached level 190.

Then, a new message appeared: *Job Quest! Master the Harvest skill.* The rewards were incredible: *Level 191 unlocked, 600 billion Tower Coins, and all stats +1300!*

He received a job quest. *Harvest skill?* Sejun thought for a moment. Had he mastered that yet? Then he remembered…

Messages flooded his vision: *You have already mastered Harvest (Master)! Quest completed! Rewards: Level 191 unlocked, 600 billion Tower Coins, all stats +1300!*

Sejun grinned. He had completed the quest without even trying! The rewards poured in, making him feel incredibly powerful.

He chuckled to himself. “This is the life,” thought Park Sejun, feeling very pleased with his easy success.

Sejun finished the remaining work with a satisfied smile. More than anything else, he was very proud to have received 10 bonus stats from leveling up.

A little while later, Sejun finished his work at the Disaster Farm and stepped back out of the magic storage room. “Door Summon,” he murmured, and a shimmering portal appeared in front of him. He stepped through, arriving in the 10th Tower. This time, he needed to plant seeds and harvest crops. His body felt light and energized from leveling up, and he whistled happily as he worked, the tasks going quickly and smoothly.

Boom?!

Suddenly, a loud voice boomed, “[Sejun, are you there?!]” It was Pink Fur, calling from outside the door of the Black Tower.

“Oh! I’m here! I’ll be right out!” Sejun answered and hurriedly returned to the Black Tower.

Sejun knew why Pink Fur was here. Pink Fur was going to special training and needed Sejun to look after Kkuengi, and in return, Pink Fur always wanted Choco Pies. Sejun realized he had to make Choco Pies quickly!

Sejun stepped back through the portal from the 10th Tower and found Pink Fur waiting. *Kkulorong,* a soft snoring sound came from Pink Fur’s arms. “Looks like our Kkuengi is still asleep,” Sejun said, smiling. *Kkuhehehe,* Kkuengi chuckled in his sleep. Sejun gently took the sleeping creature from Pink Fur, placing Kkuengi carefully beside him, and then led Pink Fur towards the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Sejun said, “Cooking!” Instantly, a batch of delicious Choco Pies appeared, as if by magic. These were made using a special recipe created by… well, another version of himself, Sejun No. 12, from a different time. He quickly filled Pink Fur’s snack pouch with the treats.

Sejun handed Pink Fur the pouch. “Here you go, all filled up with Choco Pies.”

*Boom. Boom?* Pink Fur tilted their head, looking around.

“[Thank you],” Pink Fur said. “[But where is Batbat?]”

Pink Fur thanked him and asked about Batbat’s location.

“Batbat? Of course, on my left shoulder… Huh?! He’s not here?” Sejun, who was raising his hand to his left shoulder, couldn’t feel Batbat, so he hurriedly touched his body here and there, looking for the hidden Batbat.

As Sejun frantically patted himself down, a worried voice asked, “President Park, what’s wrong, nya?!” It was Theo, sounding concerned. *Kkyut?* Iona, the small fairy, fluttered closer. Kkuengi, now awake, tilted his head. *Kkueng? [Dad, what’s wrong?]* Even Blackie, the grumpy wolf, woke up and whined. *Whine! Whine! [The great Blackie’s servant woke me up! The servant did wrong, so give me some dried sweet potato!]*

Everyone else woke up, startled by the commotion. “Guys, do you see Batbat?!” Sejun asked urgently, his voice full of worry.

“Nya?! President Park, Batbat is not here, nya!”

“Kkyung. I don’t see him.”

Kkueng!

[Batbat is not here!]

Whine?!

[Where did Batbat go?!]

The party members also felt that something was wrong and looked for Batbat, but he was not visible.

“Where could Batbat have gone?” Sejun racked his brain. *Could it be…?* A sudden thought struck him. “The dimensional door!” Batbat sometimes created doors to other worlds. “Everyone, quickly!” Sejun shouted, rushing towards the shimmering portal that Batbat often used. He and his companions stepped through, and gasped. They were no longer in the Black Demonic Star, their usual home. This was a completely different world.

A message appeared in front of Sejun’s eyes: *You have entered the level 9 world, Nyamoke.*

Level 9 world, Nyamoke?

If it’s Nyamoke…

“Ah. It’s a world where treasures are hidden. Is he looking for treasure?”

He was a little worried because he always came back before morning, but he didn’t worry too much because Batbat was also very strong.

Sejun tried to push down his worry. He knew that on the 99th floor of the Black Tower, a dangerous and unpredictable place, worrying about things you couldn’t control was pointless.

Sejun forcibly suppressed the worry rising from his heart and

“Iona, can you find Batbat’s location?” He asked Iona about Batbat’s location.

He asked Iona because she had a special spell that could track anyone in their group. She had originally used it to keep an eye on Theo, who sometimes wandered off.

“Kkyut kkyut kkyut. Just a moment. Oh magic power. Follow the mark…” Iona used magic, and

“Kkyut kkyut kkyut. Sejun, it’s that way!” She pointed to the north, which was full of dark clouds as if it was going to rain.

I feel uneasy.

Sejun felt an unknown anxiety.

Kkuhehe. Kkueng!

[Hehehe. Dad, I’m riding on Kkuengi’s back!] In the meantime, Kkuengi increased in size and carried the party members.

“Kkuengi, maximum speed!” Sejun commanded.

Kkueng!

[Understood!] Crack! Kkuengi flew north faster than the speed of sound to relieve Sejun’s anxiety.
