Farming In The Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 694

Black Tower, 99th Floor.

“Let’s begin, then.”

Sejun, who had built a small stone marker, was once again preparing food with the farmhands.

Today, they had to make cookies and marshmallows and get chocolate bricks. These were the ingredients for making Choco Pies.

While Sejun and the farmhands diligently prepared the ingredients,

“Sir Herr, are those chocolate bricks ready yet?! Our great Chairman Park is waiting, nya!” Theo urged Herr.

Kuhoho. Will we get to eat Choco Pie today?

Beside Theo, Pink Fur, with an expression full of anticipation, watched Theo while holding a giant bowl with his left forepaw, vigorously and rapidly whisking the egg whites with a stick to make meringue.

And then,

“Vice Chairman Tae, please wait a little longer. I’m on my way to get them now.” Herr replied hastily to Theo, and then—

Bang! Bang! Bang!

He knocked on the door of Mud, the God of Earth. Mud owed Herr absolutely nothing.

However,

“Mud, hurry up and give me the chocolate bricks!” Herr was very demanding.

A moment later.

“Herr… I’m sleepy…” Mud, opening the door, replied in an almost tearful voice. And with good reason.

Ever since Sejun started making Choco Pies, Mud hadn’t had a moment to rest while making chocolate bricks. He hadn’t even had a moment to sleep.

“Mud, you’re the God of Earth. Are you going to fall asleep? And are you not going to do what God Sejun wants?”

“No. If God Sejun wants it, I have to do it…”

“That’s right! Mud, you can do it! From now on, for every 10,000 chocolate bricks, I’ll give you 2 Sejun Company welfare points, so let’s work hard together!”

“Okay! I’ll try my best!”

Herr, with excellent motivation, took care of Mud’s mental state and sent 100,000 chocolate bricks to Theo.

[The God of Merchants, Herr, has received 50 welfare points as a quest completion reward.]

“Mud, here you go. Let’s keep up the good work!”

Thanks to this, Herr gave Mud 20 points and still made a profit of 30 points.

As the existing 10 points plus the new 30 points accumulated,

“Alright. Now that I have points, should I send a very high-quality seed?!” Herr went to find Mirna, the Dragon God, with energetic steps, because Sejun wanted dragon fruit the most among the very high-quality seeds.

Knock. Knock.

“Mirna.”

As Herr knocked on the door,

Slam.

“Herr, why are you so late?!” Mirna opened the door in a hurry, expressing her anger, and then,

“Here. Take it.” She handed over two dragon fruits.

A considerably different reaction from Mud.

Our God Sejun can have whatever he wants!

Mirna, the only dragon who followed him, was diligently making dragon fruit, showing a very strong devotion to Sejun.

Thanks to this, Sejun sprouted many dragon fruits, and Mirna earned great divine power, growing stronger as a god and creating even better dragon fruits.

“Mirna, this one is quite large…” As Herr was about to ask about the dragon fruit that was 1.5 times larger than the other dragon fruits,

“Herr, quickly send the dragon fruit to God Sejun. Ehehe. God Sejun will be so happy when he receives this.” Mirna urged Herr, and

“Alright.” Herr hurriedly sent the dragon fruit.

[20 Sejun Company welfare points have been used to use the seed delivery network.]

[The transcendent-grade dragon fruit seed has been sent to Sejun Company Vice Chairman Park Theo.]

[The God of Merchants, Herr, has received 5 welfare points as a quest completion reward.]

Thus, two dragon fruit seeds were delivered to Sejun.

Slurp.

“Kuh. That’s good.” Sejun, having eaten dinner, drank warm arrowroot tea made with arrowroot juice squeezed by Kkuenge.

Kkuhehehe. Kkueng!

[Hehehe. It’s delicious!]

Kkuenge was also happy, drinking warm honey water following Sejun.

At that moment,

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, Sir Herr sent dragon fruit seeds, nya!” Theo put his forepaw into the bundle and took out the items.

“Huh? Why is this one so big?” Sejun examined the dragon fruit that was 1.5 times larger than the existing dragon fruit among the two dragon fruits.

[Talented Dragon Fruit Seed] A dragon fruit seed that has evolved one step further from the existing dragon fruit seed created by the Dragon God Mirna.

When it absorbs a part of the body from the dragon’s body and the energy of creation, it sprouts into a dragon fruit that has replicated 3 to 5 skills of the dragon that provided the body.

Creator: Dragon God Mirna Grade: Transcendent

It replicates three to five skills?

“Oh!”

Then the probability of replicating cooking skills will be higher than before!

Moreover, with 5 skills…

If I’m lucky, a versatile Sejun No. 23 who can do both farming and cooking might appear.

“Hehehe. I should sprout them.” Sejun hurriedly took the ordinary dragon fruit seed and the talented dragon fruit seed and went to the Great Star of Annihilation.

Kiki!

Kyakyakya!

“Yes. Nice to see you.” He greeted the Pioneers of Annihilation and the Devourers of Annihilation who welcomed him and planted the seeds.

And then,

“Vice Chairman Tae, please cut some onions.”

“Puhuhut. I understand, nya!”

Slice.

“Here it is, nya!”

“Thank you.” Sejun took two pieces of onion cut in half from Theo and put them on his eyes,

“Ugh. It stings.” He squeezed out tears.

Drip. Drip.

Sejun’s tears fell on the ground where the dragon fruit seeds were planted.

A moment later.

Crack.

The two dragon fruit seeds absorbed Sejun’s tears and the energy of creation that spread around, and quickly sprouted.

As the dragon fruits grew, Sejun first checked the ordinary dragon fruit.

“Hehehe. Not bad.” The ordinary dragon fruit replicated the Mastery of Farming Tools and Harvesting skills.

“Go and harvest.” Sejun immediately sent the dragon fruit to the farm to harvest crops.

Next, he checked the talented dragon fruit, and

“It’s here!” Sejun smiled brightly as he looked at the skills replicated by the dragon fruit.

The replicated skills were the minimum of three, but it had replicated Crop Enlargement, Delicious Cooking, and Fermentation skills.

“Hehehe. Welcome.” Sejun put his arm around Sejun No. 12 and entered the kitchen.

“Let’s begin, then. Sejun No. 12.”

Sejun, who had gained a comrade, began to cook seriously.

When Sejun No. 12 cooked,

“Cooking.”

Sejun replicated the cooking with the best efficiency using the prepared ingredients. He also went to the brewery from time to time and used the fermentation skill to brew alcohol.

With the help of the farmhands and Sejun No. 12, the food preparation went smoothly. The next few days were busy with cooking and preparing for the party.

3 days passed.

Birthday party D-1. One day left.

Dawn on the 99th floor of the Black Tower.

“This is a disaster, nya…”

Kkweang, the small bird with bright blue feathers, chirped sadly. *What do we do?* he seemed to ask, his tiny head tilted.

Baet-baet, the fluffy white sheep, thought worriedly, his wool looking a little less bouncy than usual. *Only one day left…*

Kking, the small brown dog, whined softly.

Blackie, the big black dog, puffed out his chest a little, though his tail was still drooping. *Great Blackie is good at finding treasure,* he thought proudly, trying to sound braver than he felt.

Theo, Kkweang, Baet-baet, and Blackie all looked very sad. Their faces were long and gloomy, like rainy days.

For four days, they had been searching for a birthday present for Sejun. They thought it would be easy to find, but they had found nothing.

Theo, always the worrier, felt no pull in his paws that would lead them to a treasure. Kkweang, usually cheerful, could not smell any special scent that would guide them.

Only tonight was left before the birthday party started.

“We have to find something tonight, nyaang!” Theo declared, his voice a little shaky.

Kkweang chirped loudly, agreeing. “That’s right!”

Baet-baet bleated softly, “Yes!”

Kking barked once, “Brothers, Great Blackie will do his best too!”

Feeling a little bit of new hope, the four friends went back to sleep, dreaming of finding the perfect present.

And when dawn broke,

Moo.

The sound of hooves, *Clop, clop, pass.*, started to fill the air. Those with invitations began to enter the 99th floor of the tower one by one.

Sejun finished making food in the morning. He made 150 million servings!

Having made approximately 15 million servings more than Theo had sold invitations for, there was no chance of running out of food. This should be enough. Or so he thought.

Little hamsters arrived, squeaking excitedly, *We’re here! We’re here!*

*Let’s bow to Hamgod first!*

*Which way is he?*

*Hey, move! You’re in the way!*

Until the hamster holding Bo-zzi and La-la’s wedding invitations came flooding in without end.

“What?! Vice President Theo, did you sell these?!”

Sejun grabbed Theo’s cheek first, asking him.

“Mr. Park, I am innocent, nyaang!”

“Really?”

“Yes, nyaang!”

Sejun felt a little silly. He gently touched Theo’s cheeks and then let go.

Theo glared sullenly at Sejun.

“I’m sorry.”

Sejun, noticing Theo’s displeasure, subtly laid Theo down and put Churu in his mouth.

Theo quickly forgot his sulkiness and happily ate the Churu.

Seeing Theo like that, Kkweang and Blackie also lay on their backs in front of Sejun, and Sejun put food in their mouths as well.

While Theo, Kkweang, and Blackie were lying on their backs, happily eating snacks,

“Guys, can you find out what’s going on?”

Sejun had the Poison Honeybees investigate the situation.

A short while later.

“What?! All of these are guests for Boss Bo’s wedding?!”

Sejun was furious after hearing the Poison Honeybees’ report.

“I got scolded by President Park because of Boss Bo, nyaang!”

Theo was also furious beside him.

Iona was also furious.

Bo-zzi, having incurred the wrath of Sejun, Theo, and Iona, seemed destined for a rough time upon arrival.

“First, I need to roast peanuts. You guys, harvest some peanuts!”

Sejun, startled, quickly regained his composure and hurriedly had the Mushroom Ants harvest peanuts, then headed to the kitchen to roast them.

And then,

“Crop Giantification.”

Sejun used Sejun No. 12 and his skill to increase the size of the peanuts.

Anyone else might give up with so many hamsters. But Sejun didn’t. He was determined to make it work.

Focusing on the situation at hand, no matter how desperate. The strength that had allowed Sejun to survive until now was once again being demonstrated.

It was fortunate that Sejun No. 12 had replicated the Crop Giantification skill. Sejun watched Sejun No. 12, who was diligently using the Crop Giantification skill while drinking a magic mugwort potion, and felt relieved.

Luckily, Sejun No. 12 only had the necessary skills.

The kitchen filled with the warm, nutty smell of roasting peanuts. Giant peanuts, bigger than Sejun’s head, rolled out of the roaster.

Kkweang, with strong pecks, broke the giant peanuts into smaller pieces, scattering shells everywhere.

And so, Sejun made giant roasted peanuts to feed the hamsters until late in the evening.

‘I burned myself out completely.’

He was so tired he almost fell asleep in his dinner. He had been working hard all day.

“President Park is sleeping, nyaang!”

Kkweang!

The impatient group left Sejun and hurried outside.

Opening a dimensional door,

“I don’t feel any pull, nyaang!”

Kkweang!

They searched diligently for the present.

Blackie was also working hard in his own way. Though he wasn’t much help.

At that moment,

As the dimensional door opened,

An intense chill swept through,

“Nyaang! I feel a pull, nyaang!”

Kkweang!

Theo and Kkweang had found something.

While the four Theo, Kkweang, Baet-baet, and Blackie brothers were crossing the dimensional door to find Sejun’s present.

Sejun was left alone, looking pathetic.

He shivered from the cold coming from the dimensional door. His hair was messy, his clothes were covered in peanut dust, and dark circles were under his eyes. He looked like he hadn’t slept in days, like a tired beggar.
