Solo Farming In The Tower

Chapter 404: Not Theo, but Me?!

TL: Hanguk

Inside the White Bone Castle on the 96th floor of the Black Tower.

“Golden Cat Theo Park, how dare you interfere with the work of Lord Regius, the Lord of Bones and the supreme among the sacred bones!”

Bang!

Upon hearing his subordinate’s report that the Phoenix capture operation had failed, the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings, Bon Knight, slammed his fist on the desk in fury.

The Four Heavenly Kings were the strongest skeletons among the sacred bones that followed Regius, consisting of Bon Knight, Bon Mage, Bon Archer, and Bon Tanker.

“There’s still a chance. The Phoenix will return to its nest anyway, so we can…”

Bon Knight was unaware that the subordinates on the 95th floor of the Tower had been dealt with.

Because Theo had turned all the skeletons lurking in the Phoenix’s nest on the 95th floor into slaves, that information had not been transmitted.

Just then,

“Lord Bon Knight, Theo Park is outside!”

“What?! He’s got some nerve. Does he even know where he is?!”

“But… the soldiers of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Divisions are following Theo Park.”

“What? Why are the ones supposed to be guarding the Phoenix’s nest here?!”

Bon Knight jumped up at his subordinate’s report.

All Four Heavenly Kings and soldiers gather at the castle gate!

Bon Knight summoned the Four Heavenly Kings and headed towards the castle gate.

***

“Puhuhut. Open the gate, meow!”

Theo casually walked up to the guard at the gate and asked him to open the gate, despite coming to fight the owner of the White Bone Castle, Regius.

“Please state your name first.”

When the guard asked Theo for his name,

“Puhuhut. If you’re asking who I am, then I’ll tell you…”

Just as Theo, excited to introduce himself, was about to respond,

Thud. Thud.

“Theo Park, not only have you interfered with Lord Regius’s work, but you also dare to come here! Your arrogance ends today!”

Bon Knight appeared, leading the other three Heavenly Kings and 500,000 soldiers.

However, the timing was terrible.

“Hahk. Hahk.”

You dare interrupt Legendary Merchant Vice Chairman Theo’s introduction, meow! I’ll punish you, meow!

Theo glared at Bon Knight in anger.

“Bon Knight, leave the rest to us.”

“Yeah. We need some fun too. I’ve wanted to fight Iona.”

“There are four of them and four of us, so 4 vs 4. Perfect.”

The rest of the Four Heavenly Kings stepped forward with confidence, being the strongest among the sacred bones.

And then,

“Kyoot kyoot kyoot.”

Puhuhut.

“Uhuhuh.”

This side was equally confident.

Thus, the battle began.

“Meow!”

Bon Knight, who blocked Theo’s One Meow Slash with his sword, was split into six pieces along with his sword.

“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Power of the Meteor… Meteor.”

Iona turned the cute junior mage attacking her into dust.

And then,

Piyo!

[Messenger Bird Technique: Rapid Delivery!]

Piyot! swiftly evaded the arrows shot by Bon Archer, rising high into the sky.

Piyo!

[Messenger Bird Technique: Descent!]

Descending rapidly from the sky, it drilled a hole in Bon Archer’s head.

“Kkuik! Kkuik!”

Finally, Uren was fiercely beaten by Bon Tanker.

However,

Just a bit more.

He wasn’t just getting beaten.

Uren was gradually closing the distance with Bon Tanker.

He made it.

As the distance closed,

“Uhuhuh. Turn into gold.”

He reached out to Bon Tanker and turned him into gold.

Unlike inanimate objects, moving entities would soon return to normal, but in the brief time before that happened, it was enough to turn the tide of the battle.

Because everything will be over by then.

“Theo~nim, help!”

Not Uren, but Theo.

“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!”

Receiving the stamp from Bon Knight, Theo moved with Meow Step and dealt with Bon Tanker, then took Bon Tanker’s golden shield.

Because the shield stays gold.

Thus, Theo and his group easily defeated the Four Heavenly Kings.

“Puhuhut. If you want to eat this, stamp here, meow!”

Seeing the 500,000 soldiers who had followed the Four Heavenly Kings, Theo shouted while holding a fishbone.

Piyo!

[Here. If you stamp, you can get a fishbone every day!]

Piyot flew around busily promoting the offer.

Clatter. Clatter.

Even the 300,000 skeletons already enslaved by Theo tempted the 500,000 skeletons by describing the taste of fishbones.

Clatter.

As their sales pitch seemed to work, one by one, the 500,000 skeletons began to raise their hands.

“Puhuhut. You won’t regret it, meow!”

As the skeletons began to stamp their signatures on the contract,

“What is all this commotion?!”

Regius, the Lord of Bones, who had been resting in his palace, appeared.

“Lord Regius…”

The skeletons bowed to Regius as if they were in the presence of an untouchable being. This included Theo’s slaves as well.

And then,

[Regius, the Lord of Bones, brings all bones into submission.]

This also affected Theo and his party, who had bones.

“Meow!”

No one but Chairman Park can subdue me, meow!

Theo resisted with all his might against the force trying to subdue his bones.

[You have successfully resisted.]

While Theo used half his strength to resist Regius’s power,

“Kyoo-kyoo-kyoo-Power of the Meteor… Meteor.”

Iona, who had already successfully resisted, dropped a meteor towards Regius.

Piyo!

[I overcame it!]

Piyot! mustered all its strength to barely resist.

“Kkuik! I have lost!”

Thud.

Uren knelt and bowed to Regius’s power.

Meanwhile,

Bang!

Iona’s meteor fell towards Regius.

However,

“It’s useless.”

Regius raised a golden staff that had appeared in his hand.

Woong.

A golden shield emerged from the tip of the staff, blocking the meteor.

Flash.

“Puhuhut.”

Instead, it missed Theo, who glowed golden from the burning wealth.

“Meow-meow-meow! Meow-meow-meow!”

Struck on the back of the head by Theo’s Meow-meow Storm Fist, Regius turned into powder that could never be restored.

“Meow! I’ll give this to Iona, meow!”

Excitedly, Theo picked up the staff Regius had been holding.

But,

“Meow?”

At the tip of the staff, there was a black orb surrounded by 3 gems, with one spot empty.

It was an incomplete staff.

In fact, the remaining slot was meant for the Phoenix’s heart.

That’s why Regius was trying to capture the Phoenix.

And,

“This is a piece of Fenrir’s Core, meow!”

There was another problem. The black orb embedded in the staff was a piece of Fenrir’s Core.

It seemed Regius was trying to control the piece of Fenrir’s Core using the other gems embedded in the staff.

“I need to show this to Chairman Park first, meow!”

I need to take Fenrir’s Core piece to Chairman Park, meow!

Thus, Theo took Regius’s staff.

“Puhuhut. Now it’s treasure hunting time, meow! Iona, let’s go, meow!”

“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Yes!”

He began raiding Regius’ vault with Iona, and

Piyo!

[If you don’t want to become powder, stamp quickly!]

“Stamp here.”

Piyot!, Uren, and Theo’s skeleton slaves held up the slave contracts to get stamped.

A short while later,

[You have achieved the feat of hunting 1 million slaves.]

[You have earned the <Title: Slave Hunter> for this achievement.]

Theo, who hunted 1 million slaves, gained a title, and

[You have hunted 1 slave.]

[All stats increased by 1 due to the effect of <Title: Slave Hunter>.]

He became even stronger due to the title’s effect.

“Puhuhut. I have to boast to Chairman Park, meow! You guys finish stamping the contracts here, meow!”

Theo excitedly took Iona and ran up to the 99th floor of the Tower.

***

99th floor of the Black Tower.

“Alright.”

Sejun woke up to the morning of the 402nd day since entering the Tower.

[You have achieved the great feat of commanding 1 million slaves.]

[As a reward for the great feat, you have earned the <Title: Slave King>.]

[You will collect 1 million Tower Coins in monthly taxes from your slaves due to the effect of <Title: Slave King>.]

He checked the messages that appeared while he was asleep.

“Huh? Slave King?”

Not Theo, but me?!

When Theo makes contracts, he always writes Sejun’s name next to his own.

And Sejun is Theo’s master.

Therefore, the system deemed Sejun the actual owner of the slaves.

Slave King… doesn’t that sound too villainous?

When Sejun was reluctant about his newly acquired title,

[You have gained 100 slaves.]

[All stats increased by 1 due to the effect of <Title: Slave King>.]

A message appeared along with increasing stats.

Stats rise just by increasing slaves.

“Hehe. This is good.”

Thanks to this, Sejun decided to accept the title willingly. I just won’t tell anyone.

“Time to prepare breakfast.”

Sejun got up from his spot.

Kkirorong.

After covering Fenrir, who was still sleeping, with a blanket, he headed to the kitchen.

Then he quickly started making Sotteok-sotteok.

Yesterday, he had meant to give some to Aileen, but he had forgotten.

When Sejun remembered, Cuengi was already doing the dishes while diligently licking even the sauce left on the plate that held the Sotteok-sotteok had been.

A little later.

“Aileen, eat this.”

Sejun sent a plate full of Sotteok-sotteok to Aileen.

[The tower’ administrator says thank you for the food.]

“Yeah. Enjoy your meal.”

After chatting briefly with Aileen, Sejun prepared his own breakfast.

Breakfast was simple: fried eggs and stir-fried sausages.

Of course, he made octopus legs by cutting slits in the sausages.

Sizzle.

While Sejun was making breakfast,

Kueng!

[Good morning, Dad!]

Kking!

‘Give me breakfast!’

Cuengi and Fenrir entered the kitchen together in harmony.

Kueng! Kueng!

[Dad is a genius! Cuengi feels like eating octopus too, so Cuengi’s happy!]

Kking!

‘Feels like a real hunt!’

Both were delighted with the octopus-shaped sausages.

After eating breakfast like that,

“Fermentation.”

Sejun went to the brewery, stirred the alcohol in the jar, and used his fermentation skill, then harvested the ripe crops.

It was just another typical day… until.

“Heheh. I should go shopping.”

To the 75th floor of the tower.

He was going to visit Mason to ask about the Golden Tower land deed and eat street food at the shopping street.

“Cuengi, let’s go together.”

Of course, he was too scared to go alone, so he went with Cuengi.

Kueng!

[Shopping sounds fun!]

Sejun headed to the waypoint with Cuengi and Fenrir.

On the way to the waypoint,

“Aileen, can we move the waypoint’s location?”

Sejun asked Aileen.

Since he had more reasons to visit other floors, even getting to the waypoint from home took considerable time.

[The tower’ administrator says it’s possible.]

[The tower’ administrator says she can move the waypoint 1 km per day.]

“Really? Then move it 1 km closer to our house every day starting today.”

[The tower’ administrator says to leave it to her.]

[The tower’ administrator says she just moved it 1 km.]

“Yeah. Thank you.”

Sejun thanked Aileen.

Just then,

“Huh? Vice Chairman Theo is here?”

Sejun sensed Theo’s energy quickly approaching from afar.

And then,

“Chairman Park, I’m back, meow!”This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Theo suddenly appeared, hugging Sejun’s face.

“Good to see you.”

Sejun replied as he peeled Theo off his face.

“But Chairman Park, where are you going, meow?”

“To the 75th floor.”

“Puhuhut. Then check this out on the way, meow!”

Theo opened his bag and began boasting about the items he had looted from the 96th floor of the tower.

“This is the best one, meow!”

Theo took out Regius’s staff from his bag and handed it to Sejun.

“What is this?”

[Staff of Destruction]

Just by its name, Sejun knew exactly who to give it to.

But why give it to me?

As Sejun was about to grab the staff,

[A fragment of Fenrir’s Core (15%) detected directly right in front.]

A message appeared.

Kking!

‘My core!’

At the same time, Fenrir lunged towards the staff.
