Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 703

Sejun wondered, “Should I ask Tarrak for a favor later?”

Suddenly, Tarrak shouted, “-Hey! Are you making fun of me?!” Tarrak tried to look even angrier, but Sejun could see he was a little unsure inside.

“Vice Chairman Tae, get ready for the Seo Beam!”

“Meow! Got it!” Sejun replied to Theo, his black cat. Together, they used a combined attack to defeat Tarrak.

After defeating Tarrak many times, Sejun earned a huge amount of Top Coins. It seemed the “Seo Beam” attack was very rewarding.

At the same time, while Sejun and his friends were busy making the world better, Batbat was working hard on his own task.

(Bat bat!)

*Whoosh*. With a flap of his wings, Batbat opened a shimmering dimensional door. He was searching for the worlds of Kpies and Tsuine, places said to be full of treasures.

However,

(Bat bat. Not here either.)

“Not this one,” Batbat sighed. Finding these worlds was harder than he thought.

“But I won’t give up!”

Batbat, determined, opened another dimensional door.

A moment later, Batbat was in a new place.

(Bat bat. What is this world called?)

He flew to a man walking by. “Excuse me, what is the name of this world?” Batbat asked.

“Ah, are you a dimension wanderer?” the man asked kindly.

(Bat bat? Dimension wanderer? Is that what they call people from other worlds?) Batbat wondered.

“Yes, that’s what we call visitors from other dimensions. Welcome! This world is called Kpies.”

The man seemed very happy to meet Batbat, like he was greeting a tourist from far away.

“I found it!” Batbat thought excitedly.

“Oh, I’m sorry, I haven’t introduced myself. I’m Morgan. Nice to meet you.”

(Bat bat! Nice to meet you too, Mr. Morgan! I’m Park Batbat!)

After they told each other their names, Morgan said, “Would you like me to show you around our town?”

Batbat really wanted to tell Sejun about this place. (Bat bat. Mr. Morgan, could I bring my friends and come back for the tour later?)

“Of course! Come anytime. If you want to find me, just go to that very big house over there.” Morgan pointed to a huge mansion in the distance and started walking towards it.

It was morning on the 99th floor of the Black Tower.

“Oof,” Sejun sighed, stretching. He had spent all night making the world’s energy pure again, fighting Tarrak.

Messages appeared in front of him:

[You have completely removed Tarrak’s bad energy from the World’s Energy and finished the Purified World’s Energy task.]

[You have completed the quest!]

[Reward: All stats increased by 7.]

[Reward: The cost to stay on the 0th floor is now 0.0001% cheaper.]

“Nice!” Sejun said.

“If I can just make the stay cost cheaper by another 21.6991%, I can go back home for free!”

“Heh heh heh. Then I can finally see Aileen again!” Sejun grinned, thinking about her.

He had been trying to figure out how to meet Aileen while stuck in the tower. His plan was to make it completely free to go to the 0th floor, which he thought was Earth.

He knew going to see Aileen usually cost a lot, but if the cost became 0%, it wouldn’t be a problem at all.

“As long as the system doesn’t trick me,” he thought. “I need to be ready for anything, just in case.”

“The others will be so jealous when I go home and introduce them to Aileen,” he imagined. “She’s so pretty.” Sejun didn’t have many friends, but he pictured them meeting Aileen.

“Heh heh heh.” He smiled, enjoying his daydreams for a while.

“Meow…” Theo purred.

*Squeak…* Even the little slime made a noise.

*Clang.* Sejun opened his storage space to get food for his companions.

Then, Sejun started his daily work.

*Press. Whoosh.* *Press. Whoosh.* He used Theo’s paws to activate his magic. It was called “One Meow Magic,” and it was very effective against disasters.

[Park Theo, the Black Tower’s Luckiest, has defeated the first disaster, the White Locust.]

[Park Theo, the Black Tower’s Luckiest, gained 50 million experience points (50% of total).]

[You gained an extra 100 million experience points because of your skill .]

… (and so on) …

A moment later, Sejun finished. “Done!”

“Meow!” Theo agreed.

Sejun, who even made money from his slime farm, felt happy. He lifted Theo’s front paws in the air, cheering.

“But…” Sejun frowned.

“Why haven’t any ogres or planet-destroying turtles appeared lately?” he wondered.

‘I really want to finish the quest and become the owner of the 10th tower soon!’

He checked his progress:

* Defeated Locusts (Disaster 1): 500 billion / 500 billion (Completed)

* Defeated Giant Leeches (Disaster 2): 50 billion / 50 billion (Completed)

* … (and so on) …

* Defeated Ogres (Disaster 6): 321 / 10,000 (Incomplete)

* Defeated Planet-Destroying Turtles (Disaster 7): 35 / 1,000 (Incomplete)

* Defeated Flesh Eaters (Disaster 8): 100 billion / 100 billion (Completed)

Sejun looked at the quest to become the owner of the 10th tower and sighed. He had done almost everything, but he still needed many more ogres and turtles.

Even though the Gods and the Great Dragon had already said he could be the owner, Sejun wanted official approval. He wanted to feel like a real owner and be proud of it.

Heh heh heh.

“Should I ask Tarrak later?” Sejun thought again.

“Maybe he could send me some ogres and planet-destroying turtles,” he considered. Asking Tarrak for a favor seemed strange, but…

Heh heh. “We’ve become quite good friends,” Sejun thought to himself, even though Tarrak probably didn’t feel the same way.

Meanwhile, in the Land of Destruction…

“Heh heh heh. Where do you think you’re going?” Tarrak growled.

“Eek! Please save me!” a spirit cried, trying to escape.

Tarrak grabbed it. Then, in a shy voice, he asked, “Hey… um… do you think I’m… cute?” He looked at the spirit with a hopeful expression.

But,

“Eek! Scary! Please save me!” The spirit was terrified just looking at Tarrak. It wasn’t thinking clearly at all.

“Hey! I’m not going to hurt you! Look at my face properly. Am I cute?!” Tarrak brought his scary face closer to the spirit and asked again.

“Waaah! Monster! Help me! It’s going to eat me!” The spirit screamed even louder, completely panicked.

“Tch. You don’t need to be so scared,” Tarrak muttered, annoyed.

“Is it just me who thinks I’m cute…?”

*Crunch. Crunch.* Tarrak sighed and started eating the spirit he had caught.

Tarrak was very sad. The Mental Body didn’t react the way he wanted. He grumbled and ate it.

“Ah, this is so boring,” Tarrak mumbled.

He didn’t even feel like scaring Mental Bodies anymore.

He wanted to make a good impression on Sejun, so he practiced smiling in a puddle of water.

For the first time, Tarrak wasn’t lonely or scared.

As Sejun came out of his house,

“Huh?”

Why was the Dimensional Door here?

Usually, the door to the Black Field was beside the house. But today, it was right in front of the door, so Sejun was puzzled.

And next to the Dimensional Door,

[Sejun, I found Kpies! Let’s go treasure hunting together! – Batbat]

There was a sign that Batbat had put up.

“Good job, Batbat.”

Sejun patted Batbat’s head gently.

“Batbat, we should leave after lunch.”

He needed to stop by the 10th Tower to harvest crops.

“Herr, this is my tower. You need to pay rent before I leave!”

[Herr says he understands.]

He acted generous to Herr and urged him to pay the rent.

After stopping by the Black Field and returning to the Black Tower,

Pink Fur appeared, carrying Kkuengi in his mouth.

“Here.”

Sejun filled Pink Fur’s snack bag with Choco Pies and gave it to him.

He had eaten a lot of chocolate snacks because of Pink Fur.

But what am I going to do about chocolate snacks if Herr isn’t here?

He suddenly started to worry.

At that moment,

“Puhuhu. Chairman Park, trust me! I will ask the God of Mud for chocolate snacks! Mud! Mud, I need 10,000 chocolate bricks!”

Theo raised his hands to the sky and called for Mud.

Theo usually asked Herr for things. But he could also ask other gods. Theo didn’t know he was really asking gods for help. Because of this, Mud, another god, could now help Theo directly.

A little later.

“Puhuhu. Chairman Park, Mud sent me chocolate bricks!”

Theo took out the chocolate bricks that Mud had sent him from his bundle.

“Vice Chairman Theo, good job!”

“Puhuhu. This body is originally good at everything!”

Theo puffed out his chest and boasted at Sejun’s compliment.

Iona looked at Theo with loving eyes.

[Grrrr. Butler! Great Blackie has done a lot of good things too! Praise me quickly!]

On the other hand, Blackie was bursting with jealousy and barked diligently, telling them to praise him too.

In the midst of such a commotion.

Kkuengi and Batbat were sleeping soundly, making soft snoring noises.

“Guys, let’s eat.”

Of course, Kkuengi opened his eyes as soon as he heard the word ‘eat’.

After eating breakfast like that,

“Hmm. If you go to the place where the brightest tear falls, you can find the treasure…”

Sejun began to deduce the hint of the location where the treasure was buried.

This time, there was no designation or anything like that, only a riddle-like hint.

Sejun thought about the hint: ‘the place where the brightest tear falls.’ Tears are often linked to sadness… but ‘brightest’? What is bright and falls from the sky? A star! Could it be a star?

“That’s right! It’s a star.”

If you find the brightest star in the sky and find the place where the starlight shines, you might be able to find the treasure.

After solving the riddle brilliantly(?),

“Heh heh. Theo, did you see that? Detective Sejun is so smart!”

Sejun boasted to Theo.

He knew he would be trampled, but he couldn’t resist.

“Meow! Chairman Park’s face is rotten! Everyone, step on him!”

[Dad made a bad face again!]

[Hee hee. Let’s step on the butler’s face!]

Of course, Theo and his party trampled on him.

Sejun and his party played with the group all morning and welcomed lunch.

“Eileen, what do you want to eat?”

Sejun asked Eileen what she wanted to eat while preparing lunch with Sejun No. 12.

Eileen, who had been thinking for a moment, said the menu.

As expected, my girlfriend. She knows how to eat.

“Wait a minute.”

At Eileen’s words, Sejun hurriedly boiled tteokbokki and made sweet potato fries, vegetable fries, and squid fries.

After everyone ate the lunch they wanted, slurping.

Sejun, who had even drunk coffee, crossed the Dimensional Door with his party and arrived in the level 7 world [Kpies>.

“Batbat, let’s wake up now.”

As Sejun gently woke Batbat up,

Batbat yawned, opening his mouth wide.

Sejun wanted to put his finger in Batbat’s small mouth, but he resisted.

Batbat came to his senses.

(Batbat. Sejun, Morgan who lives over there said he would give us a tour!)

He told Sejun about Morgan.

“Really? Then shall we start with a tour?”

Because the stars come out at night.

Sejun headed to Morgan’s house with Batbat’s guidance.

A little later.

“What? Stars? There are no stars here in Kpies.”

“Eh?!”

There are no stars?!

Sejun was shocked. ‘No stars?’ he repeated. His clever plan had failed.
