Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 687

Sejun was in trouble. He lay groaning on the floor of the Black Tower, 99th floor.

Blackie cheered, “Hee hee! Butler, live like that in the future too! The great Blackie will protect you for life!”

“Kooeng!”

“[Dad, wake up!]”

“Chop. Chop.”

Kooeng used his paws to massage Sejun, using his special magic.

“Ugh…” Sejun groaned, his face twisted in pain. It felt like the Dragonkin title was crushing him.

The Blackie family snored softly (Kkirorong, Eomrorong, Kkirurung), even though Sejun was in trouble. Even in their sleep, the Blackie family was working in Sejun’s mind, sending him feelings of strength and comfort.

Kooeng thought about what Theo, his older brother, would do to save Sejun.

“This should work!” Kooeng suddenly discovered a new power.

Flash!

Unlike Theo, who once used a lot of money to help Sejun, Kooeng’s paws glowed, burning something else of Sejun’s. What exactly did he burn? No one knew yet.

Anyway, thanks to Kooeng’s treatment, Sejun’s breathing became much more comfortable.

Inside Sejun’s mind.

Kroooooh!

A huge black dragon, trapped inside Sejun’s mind, roared in annoyance. This place was too small for him.

-Is it you?! Are you trying to trap me in this narrow place?!

He glared at Sejun in anger.

“No. Let’s calm down and talk…” What was going on?

Sejun tried to resolve it through conversation, but

-There is no conversation! I will kill you and get out of here!

The ferocious black dragon, who seemed just as angry as the Great Black Dragon Kaiser Britany was known to be, swung its tail and tried to kill Sejun without hesitation.

Bang!

“Grrrr. How dare you touch Sejun, the Great Blackie’s butler?!” The giant dark blue wolf, Blackie, appeared, blocking the tail.

“You dare try to kill Sejun?! I won’t let you get away with this!”

“To hit the Great Blackie, you’re dead today!” The Blackie family’s followers, known as the 12 apostles of destruction, also appeared, sending murderous intent towards the black dragon.

-Wh-What?! Who are you guys?

The black dragon was intimidated by the might of the 12 apostles of destruction.

Bang! Bang!

-Ack! It hurts!

“Hey! Make yourself smaller, even if you have to bend yourself into a strange shape!”

“If it’s too small, you reduce your size!” Surrounded by the Blackie family and beaten up, the black dragon began to shrink.

Because the dragon’s mind was shrinking, its body also got smaller. In Sejun’s mind, the black dragon became small and still, like a black hill in the landscape.

“Hehe. I thought I was going to die.”

Even though he was still in his mind, Sejun felt peaceful and started farming his fields as usual.

[The great black dragons far away praised Sejun’s food.]

[Your soul has been greatly filled by receiving praise from many powerful dragons.]

[Your mental strength has increased by 100,000.]

[Your mental strength has reached the limit of 50,000.]

[Your mental strength cannot increase any further.]

[You have achieved 50,000 mental strength.]

[Sejun’s weak will is beginning to subtly influence the world.]

[The great golden dragons far away praised Sejun’s food.]

[Mental overload is too severe.]

[If this state persists for a long time, your soul may collapse.]

As the great dragons ate Sejun’s food, an enormous amount of strength of his mind that Sejun could not handle began to pour in. This was because Sejun was treated as the same dragonkin after receiving the title of Great Honorary Dragonkin, and the mental strength he received increased greatly accordingly.

“Great Blackie, it’s a disaster! Sejun’s mind is breaking!”

“Wake up! Sejun will die like this! Bbupal, you take care of the hole!”

“Yes! Bbupal, the octopus with eight legs made of ink!”

Bbupal diligently blocked the holes in Sejun’s mind with eight legs made of ink, and the Blackie family spread out the strong power that was flooding in and hurriedly repaired Sejun’s mind.

Sejun farmed with ease, unaware that he was in a dangerous situation.

Blackie watched Sejun and worked even harder to strengthen Sejun’s mind. Protected by Blackie, Sejun harvested sweet potatoes.

Black Tower, 75th floor.

“Mehehe. Ninir, shall we go over there this time?”

“Nihehe. Shall we?” The golden sheep Mimir and the red sheep Ninir sisters, who were strolling through the store, sparkled their eyes as they looked at a clothing store.

It was a newly opened place that created clothes that were new and very stylish, making it a popular store these days. For the past month, the two had been spending time shopping and going to delicious restaurants.

Ninir, who became a master merchant and realized her abilities, used to feel less important than Mimir, but that feeling had disappeared. However, the bad feelings from the past were still strong. Ninir continued to avoid meeting Mimir.

Then one day,

“Ninir…”

“Sister.” She happened to run into Mimir while walking down the street. And suddenly, Ninir felt forgiving. Thanks to that, the two returned to being close sisters like before, spending enjoyable time in the shopping district once a week.

“Mimir, there are so many people over there. I wonder if there’s something to see.”

“Really? Then let’s go and see.”

“Okay!” The two turned their steps towards that place.

“I heard they’re selling tickets to Chairman Park Sejun of Sejun Company’s birthday party later?”

“Birthday party? What’s a birthday party?”

“Birthday party is shortened to birthday party. Don’t you even know that?”

“You might not know! Just how smart are you to look down on me!”

“I can look down on you a hundred times! You got scammed five years ago…”

“What?! I got scammed three years ago! You idiot!”

“Did you just call me an idiot?! You’re the idiot who gets scammed!”

“Where’s the idiot who can’t even remember when I got scammed coming from?!” Through the merchants’ conversation, they learned that tickets to Sejun’s birthday party were being sold.

Then could it be?!

It can’t be?!

Mimir and Ninir felt uneasy.

“Puhuhut. Merchants! Nice to meet you! I, Theo, who works for Chairman Park Sejun, will sell tickets to Chairman Park Sejun’s birthday party for only 1 million Tower Coins, the money used in the Tower!”

They realized their bad feeling was right. They felt scared of Theo, like a small animal feels when it sees a hunter. Even though they knew Theo would take their money, they still wanted to buy tickets.

“I’ll buy it!”

“Me too!”

“Get out of the way!”

Bzzzt!

“Move aside!”

Whoosh!

Mimir and Ninir pushed aside the merchants with electricity and fire and approached Theo.

“Puhuhut. How many tickets will Mimir and Ninir buy? For reference, Yuren bought 300,000 tickets!” The predator Theo asked them, making a fan out of a bunch of invitations. With a very bright smile.

“Then give me 350,000 tickets!”

“Me too!” Two innocent sheep who volunteered to be taken again today.

“Uhehehe. Then I’ll buy 200,000 more tickets!” A pink pig was added there.

“Puhuhut. Good! Here you go!” Theo gave out the many invitations he had made and received money. Sejun’s money quickly increased.

“Umm.”

Why am I lying down?

Sejun woke up and got up.

Kkurorong.

Kkirorong.

Eomrorong.

Kooeng and the Blackie family, exhausted from treating Sejun, were fast asleep beside Sejun. They’re sleeping well.

Pat. Pat.

While Sejun was stroking Kooeng and Blackie,

[Eileen, the person in charge of the Tower, asks with a worried voice if you are okay.]

Eileen spoke to him.

“Yeah. But why did I faint? I thought I was stronger than I really was,” Sejun said, puzzled.

[Eileen, the person in charge of the Tower, says it’s all her fault.]

[Eileen says she was greedy and you almost died, and speaks with a tearful voice.]

Eileen explained the reason why Sejun fainted, sobbing.

“No. Eileen did it for my own good. It’s okay. And I survived. Hehe. I’m like a sunfish, always close to dying, so maybe that makes me immortal!”

While he was talking with Eileen,

Kooeng?!

[Dad, are you okay now?!] Kooeng got up and looked around Sejun’s body to see if Sejun was okay.

Koohehehe.Kooeng!

[Hehehe. Kooeng fixed Dad well!] Kooeng made a very proud expression.

“Our Kooeng fixed Dad?! Kooeng, thank you!”

Kooeng! Kooeng!

[That’s right! Instead, Kooeng used his power to heal Sejun, but it cost Sejun two of his skills!]

“Huh?!”

Burned skills?! Two of them?! Is that even possible?!

Sejun hurriedly checked his skills at Kooeng’s words.

Skills: Farming Tool Mastery Lv. 6, Mana Sowing (Master), Harvesting (Master), Seed Shop Lv. 5, Seed Collection Lv. 9, Farmer’s Warm Touch Lv. 9, Crop Gigantification Lv. 9, Slash-and-burn Lv. 7, You are a Field (Master), Greenhouse Lv. 6, Lawn Mowing Lv. 5, Crop Miniaturization Lv. 3, Transplanting Lv. 7, Beekeeping (Master), Thunder (雨雷) Lv. 9, Delicious Cooking (Master), Vitality Lv. 9, Fermentation Lv. 8, Cleanliness Maintenance Lv. 5, Weed Pulling Lv. 7, Advanced Aura Swordsmanship (Master), Divine Sword Fusion (Master), Bunker Lv. 5

It’s gone!

As Kooeng said, two skills were really gone: Intermediate Spear Technique Lv. 2 and Intermediate Shield Technique Lv. 2

“Hoo.”

Thank goodness! Sejun breathed a sigh of relief that his farming skills had not disappeared.

“Kooeng, but how did you burn the skills?”

Koohehehe.Kooeng···

[Hehehe. Kooeng was thinking about what Big Bro did…] Kooeng explained his new power: he could heal Sejun by using up some of Sejun’s skills!

Those Park brothers. Can you guys do anything you want just by thinking about it?

Sejun looked enviously at Kooeng, who was easily getting new powers.

Sejun remembered his new title, given by the dragonkin. It was a very special title, only the second one ever given! It meant the dragons saw him as one of their own. It even had a power from the Great Black Dragon Kaiser Britany.

“Kaiser’s faint energy?” Sejun became curious. “The energy of the Great Black Dragon.”

He used a little bit of Kaiser Britany’s power.

Gooooo.

The moment a huge dragon’s energy was emitted from Sejun’s body, everything stopped for a moment. The sky, the land, Sejun’s crops, and even the Blackie family.

Sejun too. The power was too strong for Sejun, and he fainted again.

Kooeng?!

[What are you doing, Dad?!] Kooeng, the only one free from the energy Sejun emitted, hurriedly treated Sejun and the Blackie family. With his shining forepaws. Thanks to that, Sejun’s skill Vitality Lv. 9 was also burned.
