Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 711

Sejun stood in the dusty storage room, the air thick with the smell of old treasures. Piles of gleaming gold coins, ancient swords with jeweled hilts, and chests overflowing with colorful silks filled the space. Before him, a blue system message shimmered.

“System 371,” Sejun said, his voice firm, “you are impeached for five years.”

System 371 sputtered in digital surprise, its code momentarily freezing. “[…Huh?!]” it finally managed to display, confused. *Five years?* it thought in digital shock. *That’s much longer than Heller’s month!*

System SJC, watching from the sidelines, cheered excitedly. “Hee hee! Within five years, I’ll have all the worlds under Sejun Company’s feet! Conquer! Conquer!”

The impeachment started. *Clang!* System 371 was locked away in a digital prison.

System SJC burst into action! “Alright! Chairman Park of Sejun Company is the BEST! From now on, everyone will pay him one million Top Coins in taxes every day! And give him one good item each day!” System SJC began to put its new rules into place.

However, a warning message flashed urgently: **[The causality limit for the new rule ‘Now, Chairman Park of Sejun Company is the strongest in the world!’ has exceeded 1000%.]**

**[Impossible request.]**

**[System collapse is beginning.]**

“What?!” Sejun exclaimed, reading the message. *System SJC is going to break everything? I hate System 371, but chaos would be worse.* He quickly decided. “Cancel the impeachment! Bring back System 371!”

System 371 reappeared with a digital cough. “Ahem! It’s not like *I* didn’t want to come back,” it announced, adding a winking emoji to its message. It hurriedly started to fix the mess System SJC had made.

System SJC went quiet. *Heeing…* it thought sadly. *I just wanted to help…* But it quickly perked up. *Peek!* *I’ll do better next time!* It watched System 371 work, trying to learn for the next opportunity.

“Whew. That was close,” Sejun breathed a long sigh of relief, the tension draining from his shoulders. “If impeachment doesn’t work,” he muttered to himself, “I’ll have to find another punishment.” He frowned, his brow furrowed in thought, trying to think of what to do with System 371.

Just then, a cheerful voice chirped, “Hee hee! Squeak! [Hee hee. Butler! A new one has arrived, so you need to give it a name!]”

“That’s right!”

Squawk!

Shalala!

The Blackie family gathered around Sejun, their eyes wide with expectation.

“Heh heh heh. Should I?” Sejun chuckled, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. *System 371 messed with me, impeachment failed, want to punish.* He started thinking of names, focusing on the keywords in his mind. Since System 371 had no real form, there were no visual clues. *Three-seven-one… sounds like ‘Samchiri’…*

“Guys, how about Eoksamchiri?” Sejun asked, testing the name. “I want it to be… messed with. A Samchiri that gets messed with. Eoksamchiri.”

Blackie, the oldest, tilted his head, looking confused. But the younger Blackies immediately started nodding excitedly. “Eoksamchiri! Eoksamchiri!” they chirped, their eyes full of trust in Sejun’s naming skills.

“It’s an order,” Sejun declared, a smile playing on his lips. “From now on, your name is Eoksamchiri.”

[Yes!]

With Sejun’s command,

The name of [System 371] was changed to [System Eoksamchiri], and

[Talent: Naming effect has been activated.]

[A special effect has been imbued in the name Eoksamchiri.]

[[System Eoksamchiri] can make decisions that are more favorable to Black Tower Top Farmer Park Sejun than the restrictions placed on the system by messing with itself.]

[[If [System Eoksamchiri] is messed with, its abilities will decrease by up to 50% for 24 hours, and it will not be able to be messed with.]

The naming effect worked! A special ability was added to the name. *If it helps me, System Eoksamchiri gets messed with?*

“Heh heh heh. I want to test it,” Sejun murmured, a gleam in his eye. He pondered for a moment. “Change my quest rewards to something good.” He commanded System Eoksamchiri.

Then, three quest windows appeared before him.

[There are three quests.]

[Which quest reward should be changed to something good?]

A quest to change [World’s Aura] to [World’s Aura Free from Corruption].

A quest to fulfill Sejun No. 3’s wish by cutting through the storm.

A quest to create the laws of the world by offering a price to the Creator God’s monument.

“Hmm. I’ll go with this one,” Sejun decided, choosing the first quest. *The storm quest doesn’t seem that useful even with a better reward, and the world laws quest is already amazing.*

[[System Eoksamchiri] has messed with itself to enhance the quest reward.]

[The quest reward has been enhanced, so every time you create one [World’s Aura Free from Corruption], you will additionally receive +1 to all stats, 1 billion Top Coins, a 0.00001% decrease in the 0th floor stay cost, and 100,000 experience points.]

[[System Eoksamchiri]’s abilities have decreased by 50% for 24 hours due to being messed with.]Thanks to this, Sejun’s quest reward increased by 10%, and

[System Eoksamchiri]’s abilities decreased by 50% for 24 hours.

Sejun stared at the messages, a hollow expression on his face. *Was this the best it could do?* Then, a slow smile spread across his face. “Heh heh heh. Still, it messed with itself.” Satisfied with messing with System Eoksamchiri, he and his party began moving the treasures again.

As time passed, it became evening, and

(Bat bat. Good night, everyone!)

Bat-at woke up and began to move.

“Bat-bat, have a meal and make a dimensional gate connected to the Black Tower.”

(Bat bat! Yes!)

Bat-at ate a fruit lunch box and

Whoosh.

Created a dimensional gate connected to the 99th floor of the Black Tower.

“Guys, it’s an all-nighter today!”

Squawk!

Whirr!

Sejun called the mushroom ants and poison honeybees to carry the treasures to the 99th floor of the tower.

Aileen stored the transferred treasures in her warehouse.

It took fifteen hours and many people working hard to empty Rascal’s huge warehouse.

Alright. Done.

Sejun and his companions came out of Rascal’s warehouse.

“Kkyut kkyut kkyut. Wow, dimensional power…”

Iona started connecting Rascal’s warehouse to Sejun’s.

However,

“Kkyut?”

I should stop here.

Sejun’s magic wasn’t strong enough for all of Rascal’s big warehouse. So, Iona gave the extra space to Theo, Kkueng-yi, Batbat-yi, and Kkamangi. Theo, Kkueng-yi, and Batbat-yi each got a warehouse of 10,000 pyeong. Hee hee hee! Kking!

[Hee hee. The great Kkamangi-nim can now secretly store sweet potato snacks in his warehouse without the butler knowing!]

Kkamangi also got a small but precious warehouse of one pyeong.

Just as the last bit of Rascal’s warehouse disappeared, a deep rumble shook the ground. It started softly, like a distant storm, but quickly grew louder. Then, with a sound like tearing cloth, cracks like jagged lightning ripped across the sky. The blue sky was breaking apart! The ground beneath their feet trembled and split open, like a giant egg cracking.

“System! What’s happening?!” Sejun shouted, his heart pounding.

The voice in his head replied urgently, “[Sejun-nim, this world is ending! You must leave now!]”

The System warned Sejun and kept explaining.

[The level 0 world is…]

He continued his explanation.

Usually, worlds are destroyed and created in a natural cycle. But this world was stopped from being destroyed.

Rascal, the God of Thieves, tricked the one-eyed watchman into thinking he was the last survivor and put him there, using the world as his treasure warehouse. This stopped the world [Manota] from being destroyed.

(Batbat! Sejun-nim, over here!)

While the System explained, Sejun quickly went through the dimensional gate.

(Batbat!)

Batbat-yi quickly closed the gate.

A moment later.

The world [Manota], where everyone had disappeared,

Wham!

[Manota] was turned to dust by a huge force. The dust mixed with the dust of other destroyed worlds, ready to become a new world.

Black Tower, 99th floor.

“Good job, everyone.”

Sejun came back to the 99th floor of the tower as the sun was setting and praised his friends.

Then,

“Puhuhu. That’s right, nyaang! I, Vice Chairman Theo, worked the hardest, nyaang! Chairman Park, quickly stroke my head, nyaang!”

Theo, holding onto Sejun’s knee, showed his head.

Kkueng! Kkueng!

[Kkueng-yi also worked hard, yo! Daddy should stroke Kkueng-yi first, yo!]

(Batbat! Sejun-nim, you haven’t forgotten that I created the dimensional gate, have you? I should be first!)

Grrrr. Kking!

[Grrrr. Butler! The great Kkamangi-nim should be first, no matter what!]

Kkueng-yi, Batbat-yi, and Kkamangi also said they worked hard and should be stroked first.

“Why are you fighting over something like that? Alright. Stand in a line.”

Sejun adjusted the height of Theo, Kkueng-yi, Batbat-yi, and Kkamangi’s heads and,

Creak. Creak.

moved his hands left and right, stroking all four heads at the same time.

“Nyaang…”

Kkueng…

(Batbat…)

Kking…

The four frowned, looking unhappy about being stroked together.

However,

“Puhuhu.”

Kkuhehehe.

(Baehehet)

Kkihihit.

Their faces, which had been frowning, suddenly lit up with huge smiles. They wriggled with happiness at Sejun’s touch and the warmth of their friends beside them.

After stroking his friends,

“It’s late, but we should still have a party to celebrate becoming a landlord.”

Sejun prepared the party he couldn’t have yesterday.

He made Theo’s grilled fish, Iona’s stir-fried peanuts, Kkueng-yi’s honey rice cake, Kkamangi’s super delicious dried sweet potatoes, chocolate pies for Pink Fur, grilled mushrooms for the mushroom ants, honey for the poison honeybees, and grass porridge for the black minotaurs.

Meanwhile, the poison honeybees told the farm family about the party.

Roar!

Moo!

Squawk!

Whirr!

The farm family came to Sejun’s yard, waiting for the party to start.

At that moment,

Flap. Flap.

-Kuhahaha. We’ve arrived at the perfect time.

-Euhahaha. Indeed.

-Deuhahaha. We can’t miss a party.

The dragon statues of the nine leaders flew in.

“Huh?! Are you allowed to be here?”

Sejun asked, surprised to see the leaders who should be working hard in the Temple of the Creator.

Then,

-Neuhahaha. Who do you think we are?! We are the great dragons! We finished the work the Creator God ordered quickly.

-That’s right. We completed the space where the Creator God will live.

The leaders answered proudly.

Sejun could finally use the waypoint to go to the Land of Destruction.

There was one more reason to have a party.

“Leaders, you’ve worked hard. Here’s some Samyangju. Have a drink each.”

-Keuhem. Should we?

-Well, if Sejun is giving it…

The leaders joined the party, pretending to not be able to resist, and everyone enjoyed the party together.

Kehihihi.

Delicious.

Eileen also watched the party through the crystal ball, happily eating the strawberry parfait, mango shaved ice, and chocolate cake that Sejun had made just for her.

As the night got later,

“Everyone, eat this and please forgive our children.”

Sejun and his friends helped Kkamangi’s family apologize in Kkamangi’s mind.

And then, Glug glug.

Corruption appeared again today.

“Corruption, thank you for yesterday. But you don’t have to send me ogres and planet-destroying turtles anymore. I completed the quest.”

-Hmph! It’s not like I care what you want!

He said in a blunt voice to Sejun.

So, does that mean you have no more requests for me?

Is that why you didn’t come to see me yesterday?

He was secretly very disappointed.

At that moment,

“Corruption, would you like to come to my house?”

Sejun asked, holding out his hand to Corruption.

What?!

Where are you asking me to go?!

Corruption was very flustered by Sejun’s suggestion.

At the same time, Corruption’s heart fluttered with excitement.

However,

-I refuse!

Corruption hid his feelings and coldly refused.

You might see me as cute now, but you’ll soon hate me.

Like the others.

To avoid getting hurt.

-Let’s part ways here today.

“Alright. Vice Chairman Theo, Seobeam.”

“Understood, nyaang!”

Sejun didn’t push any further and attacked Corruption.

Whoosh.

Corruption burst into flames.

“Hehe. If you don’t come, I’ll just have to go.”

-What?!

He disappeared, hearing Sejun’s strange words.
