Solo Farming In The Tower

Chapter 434: This is the Perfect Spot!

TL: Hanguk

Green Tower, 1st floor.

“Theo~nim won’t be absent again today, will he, meow?”

“Don’t say such unlucky things, meow! He will definitely come today, meow!”

The Tiger Tribe and Lion Tribe were worried that Theo might have given up on the unprofitable Green Tower since he didn’t show up yesterday.

After all, he hadn’t come in the day after the Sturdy Blade Green Onions didn’t sell well either.

“We’ve run out of grapes and pineapples, this is a big problem, meow.”

“We are the same, meow…”

Recently, the Neta Tribe had been using the Vitality-Infused Fragrant Grapes to lure giant leeches and then dealing with the gathered leeches with Screaming Pineapples.

With just a few more grapes and pineapples, they felt they could eradicate the giant leeches like they did with the locusts.

But at this crucial moment, Theo not coming to sell his crops made them anxious.

“This won’t do, meow! When Theo~nim comes, our Tiger Tribe will buy his goods for twice the price, meow!”

“Does the Tiger Tribe think they can monopolize Theo~nim’s favor, meow?! Don’t make me laugh, meow! Our Lion Tribe will buy them for three times the price, meow!”

“What, meow?! Do you think the Tiger Tribe will lose to the Lion Tribe, meow?! We will buy them for four times the price, meow!”

While the Tiger Tribe and Lion Tribe were fighting over who would pay more for Theo’s goods,

“Puhuhut. Neta Tribes, I, Vice Chairman Theo, have arrived for work, meow!”

Theo made a grand entrance, leaping from the roof, spinning three times in the air, and landing with a hero’s pose.

Then,

“Theo~nim has arrived, meow!”

“Call the other tribes, meow!”

The Tiger Tribe and Lion Tribe, upon spotting Theo, quickly called the other tribes.

Though they intended to win the auction, they wanted to show Theo how much the Neta Tribes wanted his goods.

Puhuhut. I am indeed very popular, meow!

Theo’s mood improved as he saw the Neta Tribes surrounding him.

“I will start the auction, meow!”

He excitedly sold his goods and,

“Sold out, meow!”

Puhuhut. I earned five times more than before, meow! Chairman Park will be pleased, meow!

Theo smiled broadly, thinking about bragging about the increased sales to Sejun and eating Churu on Sejun’s lap.

At that moment,

Woooong.

A powerful energy began to emanate from the sky. The Neta Tribes weren’t the only ones waiting for Theo.

Vice Chairman Theo, why didn’t you come?!

Ophelia, who had finished her sausage skewer, was also eagerly waiting for Theo.

“Meow?!”

It’s Ophelia~nim! The suckers are in danger, meow!

In a hurry, Theo used Energy Drain to quickly absorb Ophelia’s energy.

Having absorbed Ophelia’s strong energy several times before, Theo’s ability to absorb energy had improved, making it much easier now.

As Theo absorbed the energy,

“Vice Chairman Theo, why didn’t you come yesterday?! I worked really hard growing mugwort! Do you know how many mugworts I… huh?!”

What is this smell?

As Ophelia came down in front of Theo and started to complain, Theo grinned wickedly and began taking out food from Earth from his bag.

“Vice Chairman Theo, what is that?”

“Puhuhut. This is food that only Chairman Park can get, meow! Chairman Park said to give it to Ophelia~nim, meow!”

“Sejun did?”

“That’s right, meow!”

“What is this called?”

Ophelia pointed at one of the dishes and asked. Its red color and spicy aroma stimulated her appetite.

“Puhuhut. That’s heavenly Tteokbokki, meow!”

“And this?”

“That’s heavenly fried chicken, meow!”

“And this?”

“That’s heavenly Jjajangmyeon, meow!”

After asking the names of all the foods, Ophelia started eating and,

“Ah.”

She realized that delicious food had the prefix “heavenly” attached to their names.

A little while later.

“Tell Sejun I enjoyed the meal. And here’s the mugwort I harvested.”

Ophelia put the remaining food into her Void Storage and handed the harvested mugwort to Theo.

“Got it, meow! Ophelia~nim, harvest even more mugwort, meow!”

“Okay. But bring more delicious food next time too. Got it?”

“Puhuhut. Of course, meow! There’s plenty of this kind of food at Chairman Park’s parents’ house, meow!”

Theo puffed out his chest and spoke boastfully as if it were his own home.

“Really? Okay then, I’ll be off.”

Reassured by Theo’s confident words, Ophelia returned to the 99th floor of the tower.

Ophelia was unaware of how difficult it was to visit Sejun’s parents’ house.

***

99th floor of the Black Tower.

[You have planted the Destruction Devourer Seed in magic-infused soil.]

…

..

.

Sejun, who was planting Destruction Devourer seeds.

What is this?

Kihihit. Kking! Kking!

[Hihi. Guys, come here! This is the perfect spot!]

Blackie, finding the spot with the strongest energy of destruction, called out to the Destruction Devourers.

Kiki!

Kiki!

Sejun was stunned as he watched the Destruction Devourers toddle towards Blackie in response to his call.

“What’s going on here?”

A herding wolf instead of a sheepdog?

Surprisingly, the seemingly useless and overly powerful Blackie had an unexpected talent.

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hihi. Grow quickly by absorbing the energy of destruction and become the excellent subordinates of the noble wolf, the great Lord Blackie!]

Blackie, who no longer felt any guilt about team-killing, had no intention of returning to destruction anymore.

Because…

Hihi. Why would I go back when it’s so fun and exciting here?Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

It’s much more fun to play here.

Hehehe. How cute.

Sejun watched, amused, as Blackie barked and led the Destruction Devourers around while they followed him, making Kiki sounds.

Plop.

[You have planted the Destruction Devourer Seed in magic-infused soil.]

…

..

.

Sejun planted another Destruction Devourer seed.

Thus, the number of Destruction Devourers gradually increased.

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hihi. Follow me!]

Kiki!

Kiki!

The Destruction Devourers followed Blackie to the areas rich in the energy of destruction and absorbed it to their heart’s content.

And then,

Burp.

After digesting the energy of destruction, they began spreading the energy of creation around the 99th floor of the tower, gradually increasing its concentration.

A little while later,

“Yawn! I’ve planted them all!”

Sejun stretched after planting all 100,000 Destruction Devourer Seeds that were in his pouch.

“I’m hungry…”

As Sejun took out a hamburger from the storage and started eating,

Thump thump. Thump thump.

Kking! Kking!

[Hey! Are you eating alone?! Give me some dried sweet potatoes!]

Blackie, who was playing the leader with the Destruction Devourers, came running energetically towards Sejun.

But then,

Thud.

He tripped over a hole he didn’t see.

Kiki?!

The leader fell too?!

The Destruction Devourers were unsettled seeing their leader fall.

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hihi. Don’t worry, guys! I’m fine!]

Blackie pretended to be strong in front of his subordinates.

“Pfft!”

Sejun burst into laughter at the sight of Blackie’s behavior.

Thump thump. Thump thump.

Blackie, pretending nothing was wrong, continued running to Sejun.

Once he was out of the Destruction Devourers’ sight, behind Sejun,

Kking…

[My leg hurts…]

He lay down and whimpered to Sejun.

“Are you okay?”

After Sejun massaged Blackie’s leg for about 10 minutes,

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hihi. The great Lord Blackie is revived!]

Blackie quickly got up.

Then,

Kking! Kking!

[I’m hungry! Give me the dried sweet potatoes!]

He barked, sitting in front of Sejun.

“Alright. Here.”

Sejun took out some dried sweet potatoes from the Void Storage and gave them to Blackie.

Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hihi. Delicious!]

Blackie settled down against Sejun’s backside and started to happily munch on the dried sweet potatoes.

104.28.193.250

While Sejun and Blackie were eating,

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I’m back, meow!”

Theo, having finished his work at the Green Tower, emerged from his bag and leapt at Sejun’s face.

“Did you sell well today too?”

“Puhuhut. Of course, meow! Everything was sold out today as well, meow! Moreover, I increased the sales by five times, meow!”

Theo handed over the money he earned from the auction to Sejun with a smile.

“Oh, really? Vice Chairman Theo, you’re amazing.”

“Puhuhut. It’s only natural that I, Vice Chairman Theo, am amazing, meow! Now, give me some Churu, meow!”

Theo, who received praise from Sejun, laughed arrogantly and sprawled on Sejun’s lap to eat Churu.

At that moment,

Rumble.

A black hole appeared in mid-air, and Theo’s cart that had sold out its goods at the Golden Tower returned.

This time, the cart came back after three days, spending an extra day compared to before.

Clank.

[Starting settlement.]

The entrance of the cart opened, and text began to appear on the door.

[Sold all items for a total of 21.5 million Tower Coins.]

Although the earnings had doubled thanks to the increased price of cherry tomatoes, what mattered more was what the cart had bought from the Golden Tower.

“Hehehe. I wonder what it bought?”

“Puhuhut. Being as capable as its owner, me, Vice President Theo, it must have bought a lot, meow!”

As Theo boasted loudly,

[Failed to purchase the ‘Land Deed for the 35th Floor of the Golden Tower.’]

[Purchased 120 pieces of Lightning-struck Wood for 840 Tower Coins.]

[Purchased 3000 Lightning Stones for 450 Tower Coins.]

[Purchased 1 Thunder Spirit Stone for 1000 Tower Coins.]

[Purchased the order form from Glato Village for 0 Tower Coins.]

The items the cart had bought began to be displayed on the door.

“As expected from Vice Chairman Theo’s cart.”

“Puhuhut. Indeed, it’s Vice Chairman Theo’s cart after all, meow!”

Sejun and Theo nodded with satisfied smiles as they read the messages.

The cart, recognizing that there were many Lightning-struck Wood and Lightning Stones at the Golden Tower, had ruthlessly slashed the purchase prices.

Thanks to that, the Lightning-struck Wood, which used to cost 10 Tower Coins each, was bought for 7 Tower Coins each, and the Lightning Stones, which used to cost 0.2 Tower Coins each, were bought for 0.15 Tower Coins each.

“But why is this Thunder Spirit Stone so expensive at 1000 Tower Coins?”

Crackle.

Sejun looked at the fist-sized stone inside the cart that emitted golden sparks about once every minute.

Compared to other items from the Golden Tower, the price seemed excessively high.

He didn’t touch it for fear of getting electrocuted.

“Come to think of it, wasn’t there Thunder Spirit Stone among the materials used to make the cart?”

As Sejun was recalling the contents of [Automatic Cart Wandering Between the Black Tower and Golden Tower] he had read before,

[Currently, there is 1 Thunder Spirit Stone in the Automatic Cart Wandering Between the Black Tower and Golden Tower which can be used to upgrade it.]

[Using 1 Thunder Spirit Stone, you can expand the storage space of the Automatic Cart Wandering Between the Black Tower and Golden Tower by 1.5 times.]

[Do you want to upgrade the Automatic Cart Wandering Between the Black Tower and Golden Tower using the Thunder Spirit Stone?]

These messages appeared.

It was worth it to expand the cart’s storage space by 50% and bring back more Lightning-struck Wood and Lightning Stones for 1000 Tower Coins.

“Yes, I’ll use it.”

Crackle.

As Sejun spoke, the Thunder Spirit Stone disappeared in a flash of lightning, while the cart remained the same size but with expanded storage space.

Sejun then took out the Lightning-struck Wood and Lightning Stones from the expanded cart storage.

“Oh, here’s the order form.”

After clearing all the items, Sejun noticed an envelope on the ground and pulled out the paper to check it. It was an order for 50,000 magical cherry tomatoes.

It seemed the residents of the Golden Tower really liked the magical cherry tomatoes.

“Vice Chairman Theo, load the items and send them off.”

“Got it, meow!”

Following Sejun’s instructions, Theo filled the cart with crops.

“Go earn lots of money, meow!”

Rumble.

Theo sent the cart back to the Golden Tower.

This time, it returned after 3 days, so he paid 270 billion Tower Coins.

After the cart left,

“Now it’s time to harvest the corn.”

Sejun got up, taking Theo and Blackie with him, and approached the cornfield.

At that moment,

Kiki!

One of the Destruction Devourers, which had been absorbing the energy of destruction in the cornfield, approached Sejun and

Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey.

Did I do well?

It spat something out at Sejun’s feet and looked proud.

What is this?

Sejun closely examined what the Destruction Devourer had spat out.

“This is?”

[Destruction Devourer Seeds]

There were five Destruction Devourer seeds. It seemed they spread their seeds this way.

“More plants that spit seeds?”

Kiki!

Kiki!

At Sejun’s question, the Destruction Devourers hurriedly walked over to him and

Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey.

Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey.

They started spitting seeds into Sejun’s hand.

And then,

[You have planted a Destruction Devourer Seed in magic-infused soil.]

···

..

.

Sejun now had to plant 50,000 Destruction Devourer seeds again.
