Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 702

The bustling marketplace was on the 37th floor of the Green Giant Tower. It was filled with the cries of merchants eager to sell their wares.

“Puhu-hut. Sold out, nyaa! See you next time, nyaa!”

Theo had sold all of Sejun’s crops for the day and was eager to see Chairman Park.

“Kkyut kkyut kkyut. Theo, you’ve worked hard. I’ll help you pack up.”

Iona, who had been comfortably resting on Theo’s fluffy tail, assisted him.

Just then, several single merchants, desperate for the Confession Carrot, surrounded Theo.

“We can’t let him go like this!”

“Hand over the Confession Carrot!”

“That’s right! I need the Confession Carrot to confess to Jenny tomorrow!”

They knew Theo was strong, but they hoped that surrounding him with so many people would create psychological pressure. Of course, they planned to run away immediately if he attacked.

“Kkyu-kyu-kyu-what is it? It’s time for our Theo to go home!”

Iona, sensing their intentions, showed her displeasure.

“Who’s going to be scared by that sound?!”

This was the Green Giant Tower, and the legend of Iona, the Great Destruction Magician, had not yet spread here.

“Kkyu-kyu-kyu-Power of the Meteor….”

Iona showed what the third stage of Angry Kkyu was with results, not just words.

Kwagwang!

Iona’s meteor magic obliterated a huge mountain nearby, leaving a massive crater in its place. The merchants watched in stunned silence as groundwater gushed from the bottom of the crater, quickly turning it into a vast lake.

“Hic!”

“Hiek!”

The solo merchants, greatly startled by Iona’s magic, unconsciously retreated, creating a path as if the sea were parting.

Thus, the legend of Iona, the Great Destruction Magician, began to spread even in the Green Giant Tower.

“Puhu-hut. Don’t be too disappointed, nyaa. Bring lots of money next time and buy it, nyaa.”

Theo patted the shoulders of the terrified merchants and climbed into the transport cart used by the great merchant who traveled across the Nine Towers.

“Kkyu-be careful.”

Iona also issued a warning before disappearing using teleportation magic.

Theo arrived at the 99th floor of the Black Giant Tower. He suppressed his desire to see Sejun and waited for Iona.

“Puhu-hut. I want to see Chairman Park quickly, nyaa!”

“Kkyut kkyut kkyut!”

As Iona arrived with teleportation magic, Theo called out.

“Iona, let’s go, nyaa!”

“Kkyut kkyut kkyut! Yes!”

He took care of Iona and moved to the Nyangnyang Bus.

“Puhu-hut. Great Hybrid Chairman Park, I have returned, nyaa!”

“Kkyut kkyut kkyut. I’m here too!”

He stuck to Sejun’s face, announcing his arrival.

“Okay. You’ve both worked hard.”

Sejun greeted Theo and Iona with a slightly subdued voice.

“Kkyut kkyut kkyut.”

Iona didn’t sense anything particularly wrong, but Theo, who was very sensitive to Sejun’s moods, immediately noticed that Sejun was upset.

“Nyaa?! Chairman Park, what’s wrong, nyaa?! Who made Chairman Park angry, nyaa?!”

In fact, it was closer to being sulky than angry, but Theo instinctively chose a different word because Sejun would sulk even more if he said he was sulking.

“Vice Chairman Theo….”

“Nyaa?! Really, nyaa?! The gods who run the Seed Shop headquarters didn’t open the Seed Shop for our great Hybrid Chairman Park, nyaa?!”

Thanks to that, he could hear in detail why Sejun was sulking.

“Haa! Chairman Park, let’s impeach them all, nyaa!”

Theo was furious and immediately called for impeachment.

“Let’s hear the circumstances first.”

This matter was quite serious, so Sejun didn’t deny it either. He would think about impeachment if there was no real reason after hearing the story.

“Vice Chairman Theo, please ask Herr to contact Leia for me.”

“Okay, nyaa! Herr, come out, nyaa!”

Thus, Theo called Herr to ask why the Seed Shop wasn’t open.

[The God of Merchants, Herr, says to just tell him if you need anything.]

Herr quickly answered, thinking Theo was giving him a quest, but Theo was quick to dismiss it.

“I don’t need anything today, nyaa! Our Chairman Park wants to talk to Leia, nyaa! Tell Leia what Chairman Park says, nyaa!”

[A designated quest from Park Theo, Vice Chairman of Sejun Company, has occurred.]

[The designated target is the God of Merchants, Herr.]

[System SJC] even made this into a quest.

[System SJC], which turns all instructions from Sejun and Theo, the chairman and vice chairman of Sejun Company, into quests.

“Alright!”

Herr, who received the quest, excitedly ran to Leia’s house.

Thud. Thud.

He knocked on the door.

Creak.

“Herr, what’s wrong? Today isn’t the day to receive seeds.”

Leia opened the door, looking puzzled. Beyond the door, an unfinished Seed of Abundance could be seen.

“Today, God Sejun said he has something to say, so I came.”

“God Sejun?!”

At Herr’s words, Leia straightened her clothes, even though Sejun wasn’t in front of her.

“What does God Sejun want? Tell me quickly.”

“Um. God Sejun why… uh….”

Herr couldn’t properly convey Sejun’s words. He couldn’t bring himself to say the reason Sejun was questioning Leia was because of him.

He was the one who persuaded Leia and other Seed Shop executives to deliver transcendent seeds, potions, and regular seeds to Sejun, and he was the one who didn’t tell Theo about it to take a cut of the profits. What to do?

While Herr was worrying, Leia asked, feeling impatient, “Herr, what does God Sejun say?”

Just then, Leia appeared on the 99th floor of the Black Giant Tower.

Clatter. Clatter.

“Finally arrived. Ah. I’m tired.”

Schval 18, who climbed the tower under Leia’s instructions because she sensed something odd, arrived on the 99th floor of the Black Giant Tower. She felt the number of seeds Sejun sprouted was too small compared to the number of seeds Herr had collected.

Kkeaack!

Four Mushroom Ants were waiting for Schval 18. They had been contacted through the official employee communication network before Schval 18 arrived here, and they brought a flat wooden board to carry Schval 18.

[Black Giant Tower 4th Floor Saint Ludwig Schruen Argon Walter 18th: I will arrive at the 99th floor of the tower in 1 hour. Are there any Mushroom Ants who can take me to Sejun’s house? I will give 1 Tower Coin as a reward.]

Among the Mushroom Ants, there were those who wanted to become traveling merchants following Theo, not farmers. It seemed like Sejun would give them the money to become traveling merchants if they asked, but the leader said that they should earn the money themselves to understand the value of money.

So Mushroom Ant No. 83,818 and his colleagues took on a side job whenever they had the chance to make money like this.

“Mushroom Ant No. 83,818, right?”

Shuval 18th understood the question. Mushroom Ant No. 83818 moved its feelers up and down, like nodding.

“Then, please take me there,” Shuval 18th said. He sat easily on the wooden boards on the backs of Mushroom Ant No. 83818 and three other mushroom ants. They started walking towards Sejun’s house. The ride was a little bumpy, but Shuval 18th didn’t mind.

Soon, they arrived. Sejun thought to Leia, “Goddess Leia of Abundance, we are here.”

As they got closer to Sejun’s house, Leia’s voice appeared in his mind. [Welcome, Park Sejun.]

Suddenly, a bright light filled the air, and Leia appeared before them. She was very beautiful and looked like a true goddess. Leia was happy to see Sejun, but because she was a goddess, she didn’t want to shout “God Sejun!” in front of him. This was the start of the meeting between Sejun, Leia, and Herr.

“Wait! Herr took *all* the seeds? Is that why the seed shop has been closed for so long?!” Sejun asked, surprised.

[Yes, that is right.] Leia answered. [Herr told me he would bring the seeds to you, Park Sejun. It seemed a little odd to me, so I asked my child to check…]

Leia paused, then continued, [My child told me that Herr has been keeping all the seeds for himself!]

Now, the truth was out in the open.

Theo was furious. “Haa! Haa! Haa!” he puffed, his fur bristling. “Herr stole seeds from the amazing CEO Park, nya! We must impeach him, nya!” Theo, very angry, started the impeachment vote right away.

[Black Tower Lucky CEO Park Theo wants to impeach Herr, the God of Merchants.] A message appeared for everyone to see.

[The Black Tower CEOs – Mimir, Yuren, Zeto, Ninir, Machun, and Magin – who work for Theo, automatically agree with him.]

[The Green Tower CEOs Turbo, Shark…] [The Golden Tower CEOs Yuto, Marin…] More and more names appeared, all agreeing with Theo.

[Each Tower CEO’s vote counts as 2 votes.] Theo had gathered 17 CEOs to support him. There were only 25 CEOs in total, so almost two-thirds were on Theo’s side. It was clear that Theo would win, even without counting all the votes.

[Now, we will roll dice to decide the votes of the Lucky CEOs.] The message announced. [Each die will show a number from 1 to 6.]

Suddenly, another message popped up. [Oops! Another die rolled by mistake!]

It was Theo’s amazing luck again! [The first die shows the number 6!] [The second die shows the number 6!]

[Lucky CEO Park Theo’s vote is now worth 12 votes!] Theo’s incredible luck made his already sure victory even bigger.

[Total votes: 50. Votes to impeach Herr: 44.] [Most votes are for impeachment. Herr, the God of Merchants, will be impeached.] [Are you sure you want to impeach Herr, the God of Merchants?] The message asked one last time.

“Yes, nya! We are sure!” Theo said firmly. And with that, Herr was truly impeached.

“No way!” Herr cried out.

“What do you mean ‘no way’?! You tricked us!” Leia said angrily, grabbing Herr by his shirt collar and shaking him. Herr felt terrible. *Oh no… I’m finished!* he thought. He lost his god powers and became just a strong person, not a god anymore.

Just then, another message appeared. [We will now try to give the god powers of the God of Merchants to Lucky CEO Park Theo, who started the impeachment.] [Would you like to become the God of Merchants?] The message asked Theo.

But Theo’s answer was quick and clear. “I don’t want it, nya!” he said. “I want to stay with CEO Park, nya!” He refused. Being with Sejun was always most important to Theo. If he became a god, he couldn’t be with Sejun all the time.

When Theo said no, another message appeared. [The position of God of Merchants must be filled.] [We suggest a way to impeach Herr temporarily.] [System 371] offered a plan where Herr would only be impeached for a short time. It wasn’t a full impeachment, but it was still something.

“Puhu! Good, nya!” Theo liked this idea. He agreed to System 371’s plan and then ran to Sejun. “CEO Park, we impeached Herr, nya! But we need to decide how long he should be impeached for, nya!”

“What? You already impeached him?” Sejun asked, surprised.

“Puhu! Yes, nya! He stole the seeds from the great CEO Park, so he deserved it, nya!” Theo said proudly.

“But we can also choose how long he is impeached for?” Sejun asked.

“Puhu! Yes, nya! Let’s impeach him for 1000 years, nya!” Theo suggested.

“1000 years is too long,” Sejun chuckled. “A month is good. We can always impeach him again later if we need to. Hehehe.”

“Puhu! CEO Park is so kind, nya! We will impeach Herr for one month, nya!” Theo agreed.

When the impeachment time was set, a message appeared for Herr. [Herr, the God of Merchants, will lose his god powers for one month.]

“Huh?! Only a month?!” Herr was so happy! He thought he would lose his powers forever. “Thank you! Thank you!” he said, bowing deeply in the direction of Theo.

Then, another message appeared. [Without god powers, you cannot stay in Herr’s Pawnshop.] [Moving you to a temporary place to live.] Suddenly, Herr was pushed out of his pawnshop!

“Huh?! Herr?!” Patrick said, surprised.

“Oh, Patrick! Hello,” Herr replied. He found himself on the 9th floor of the 10th Tower, where Patrick lived. Herr’s Pawnshop would be closed for a month.

“If you stay here, you have to pay rent to Sejun,” Patrick reminded him.

“Oh? Rent?” Herr asked. Even without his pawnshop, Herr knew he still had to work.

“Well, I should go now,” Shuval 18th said. He had asked Leia to come, and now his job was done. He called for a mushroom ant taxi and left.

“Time to eat!” Sejun announced. Sejun and his friends sat down for dinner. Theo happily ate grilled fish, and Iona crunched on roasted peanuts. *Koohehehe. Kueng!*

[Hehehe. Cold candied sweet potatoes are also delicious!] Leia said in Sejun’s mind.

*Keeheet. Kking!* [Heet. Great Blackie is so happy!]

Blackie and Kkuengi ate the cold candied sweet potatoes and dried roasted sweet potatoes. These were made from the Royal Honey Sweet Potatoes they had for lunch, which were called “extremely delicious.” And they really were! The sweet potatoes were so sweet and tasty.

After dinner, Sejun talked with his friends for a while. As it got dark outside, Sejun said, “I should go to sleep now.” He went to bed. Soon, *Grumble.* A strange, scary-looking creature appeared. It was the depraved being.

“-Heh heh heh,” it growled, trying to make its face as frightening as possible, like it did every night. But Sejun just smiled.

“Making such a cute face is not fair,” Sejun said. The more Sejun looked at the depraved being, the more he thought it looked kind of cute. It was the kind of face that became more interesting the longer you looked at it. Sejun had started to really like the depraved being, even its scary face seemed cute to him now.

“Nya?!” Theo was shocked.

“Kkyut?!” Iona squeaked, surprised.

*Kking?!* Blackie barked, disagreeing. Of course, Sejun’s friends did not think the depraved being was cute at all.

“What?! Me, cu… cute?!” the depraved being stammered, confused. “What trick are you playing, you bad person?! Why are you being nice to me?!” The depraved being was actually scared of Sejun’s kindness.
