Solo Farming In The Tower

: You Were Still Waiting?!

TL: Hanguk

“Puhuhut. I took a lot of stamps, meow!”

Chuk.

With a proud expression, Theo returned after stamping with the Five Towers’ Slave Seal and clung to Sejun’s knee.

Pat. Pat.

Hehehe. Vice Chairman Theo, you did well.

Sejun quietly patted Theo on the head.

Thanks to Theo, Sejun now commanded 1,000 slaves, and all his Stats increased by 10.

After a while…

“Let’s get up now.”

As Sejun stood up,

Kueng···

[Got it···]

Cuengi, who had been dozing off beside Sejun after lunch on the ground, clung to Sejun’s waist.

“Are you leaving now?”

When Sejun came out of the kitchen, Cecilia, who had been standing in line in front of the golden cart to receive food, quickly ran up to him.

“Yes.”

“Then I’ll escort you to the waypoint.”

“It’s okay. By the way, what about the wheat seeds I mentioned?”

“Ah. Here they are! I put in about 1,000 of them.”

At Sejun’s words, Cecilia took out a small pouch made of plant stems from her bosom.

“Thank you. And if you plant these in your fields, they’ll be helpful.”

Sejun, after receiving the wheat seeds, handed Cecilia a sack of Kidney Bean of Soil Fertility.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

These were sent by Orik yesterday as he began harvesting the Kidney Bean of Soil Fertility from the Brown Tower.

Of course, Sejun wasn’t in a hurry, so he intended to receive them when the temporary storage was full, but

[The slave from the Brown Tower, says he’s always harvesting diligently with a grateful heart for Sejun~nim and sends 10,000 Kidney Bean of Soil Fertility.]

Orik had sent them to show Sejun that he was working hard. Indeed, Orik was quite sly.

Thanks to that, Cecilia obtained the precious beans that could enhance the land’s fertility.

“Thank you!”

Cecilia expressed her gratitude to Sejun.

“Then I’ll be going.”

As Sejun left,

“It restores the land’s fertility?!”

After confirming the option of the Kidney Bean of Soil Fertility, Cecilia hurriedly planted the beans in the field.

And then,

[You have planted crops belonging to Park Sejun, the Tower Farmer of the Black Tower, without permission, who holds the exclusive cultivation rights.]

[According to the laws of the Tower, Cecilia, the Tower Farmer of the Golden Tower, will now be Park Sejun’s slave for the next 100 years.]

[As Park Sejun is already commanding Cecilia, the Tower Farmer of the Golden Tower, the slave period has been extended by an additional 100 years.]

Cecilia became a legitimate tower slave that Sejun could summon.

[It has been confirmed that Cecilia, the Tower Farmer of the Golden Tower, planted Kidney Bean of Soil Fertility without permission.]

···

..

.

“Ah. I forgot.”

On his way to the waypoint, Sejun looked at the message and spoke in an apologetic tone.

However,

“What are you talking about, meow?”

“I forgot to give permission to plant the Kidney Bean of Soil Fertility.”

“Meow?! Did you really? You must feel very sorry for Cecilia, meow!”

“Of course. I’m very sorry. Very sorry indeed. Hehehe.”

But Sejun’s face showed no signs of remorse.

“Puhuhut. As expected, Chairman Park is great, meow! I learned something new from the great Chairman Park again today, meow!”

“Hehehe. Even if it was a mistake. It was amazing that you thought of stamping the elves in exchange for three meals, Vice Chairman Theo.”

“Puhuhut. It’s all thanks to the great Chairman Park who taught me, meow!”

“It’s all because Vice Chairman Theo is excellent.”

“Puhuhut.”

“Hehehe.”

Complimenting each other, Sejun and Theo arrived at the waypoint.

“Vice Chairman Theo, go on in.”

Clunk.

As Sejun opened the Void Storage and spoke,

“Got it, meow!”

I’ll be the first to go, meow!

Theo quickly sat down in front of the door in a bread loaf position, waiting.

At that moment,

Kkirorong.

Eororong.

Kkirurung.

Sharorong.

The sound of Blackie and its subordinates snoring could be heard from inside the Void Storage.

Blackie and his subordinates had been dozing off, lying stretched out right in the middle of the Void Storage as soon as they finished lunch.

Kurorong.

Sejun carefully lifted Cuengi, who had fallen asleep clinging to his waist, and laid him down next to Blackie.

Clunk.

He closed the door of the Void Storage.

Then,

Chuk.

He placed his hand on the red crystal and called up the waypoint list to move to the 35th floor of the Golden Tower.

***

10th Tower Administrator’s Area.

Shiver.

“Patrick-nim, what did I do wrong to deserve this?”

Hamer, who was kneeling and barely holding up a massive stone with his trembling arms that seemed large enough to cover the sky, asked in an aggrieved voice.

The stone Hamer was holding was called a Soul Pressing Stone, which could inflict agonizing pain by crushing the soul of a god.

“What?! Hamer, you don’t know what you’ve done wrong?!”

Patrick was enraged at Hamer’s question.

Thud.

“Argh!!!”

Because of this, another massive Soul Pressing Stone was added on top of the one Hamer was already holding.

What?! What did I do wrong?

To escape the pain, Hamer started racking his brain to find his mistake.

“Ah! I remember now! I secretly took some snacks called popcorn without telling you, Patrick-nim!”

“No, that’s not it. And the popcorn is confiscated.”

No! My popcorn!

Hamer screamed internally as his popcorn was about to be confiscated.

Thud.

Another Soul Pressing Stone of indignation was added. As a result, Hamer no longer had the leisure to think of anything else.

“Argh! Ah! Actually, I was bored when Patrick-nim wasn’t around, so I brought Stella Hisron, a silver dragon, to the 10th Tower without permission!”

He started confessing all the wrongs he could think of.

“Actually, I found a fragment of the door leading to the 10th Tower, and I was supposed to inform those who passed the trial of the 10th Tower about it, but I didn’t because I was too lazy to tell!”

···

..

.

“Recently, I tried to deceive the Tower Farmer to get some snacks! Is this not it either?! Patrick-nim, I really don’t know! Just tell me, please! Boohoo.”

Finally, Hamer broke down and began to cry in desperation.

“That’s right! That’s exactly what you did wrong. Because you tried to deceive Black Tower’s Tower Farmer Park Sejun, Flamie, a Tree of Creation candidate born after a million years, thinks gods are untrustworthy! Do you understand what you did wrong now?!”

Patrick explained Hamer’s mistake in detail while scolding him.

“···What?! Flamie is a candidate for the Tree of Creation?!”

At Patrick’s words, Hamer’s heart sank.

The Tree of Creation, a being who guards the void left by the Creator God for hundreds of millions of years while the old Creator God disappears and a new one is born,

And bestows the power of creation to the newly born Creator God.

In some ways, an Tree of Creation is a higher being than the Creator God.

Although they can still call its name freely since it’s only a candidate now, the moment it becomes a real Tree of Creation, it will becomes a supreme existence that Hamer wouldn’t even be able to look at.

But···

I tried to scam Park Sejun, whom Flamie serves as a master.

My divine life is ruined.

Not just this life, but the next life, and the one after that…

No matter how many times I’m reborn, Flamie, who will live for countless eons, will hate me.

Hamer’s mind began to go blank.

“Patrick-nim, what should I do?!”

Hamer asked urgently, crawling towards Patrick while still holding the Soul Pressing Stone.

The pain from the Soul Pressing Stone was no longer the issue.

“What do you mean what should you do?! You have to do whatever it takes to make Flamie believe in gods again.”

“I understand! I’ll work hard…”

Just as Hamer resolved to somehow show a good image to Flamie somehow,

“But before that, you need to be punished for the wrongs you just confessed to.”

“What?!”

Rumble.

“Argh!”

Patrick added dozens of massive Soul Pressing Stones on top of the stone Hamer was holding.

“Your punishment will last until Park Sejun finds all two fragments of the door leading to the 10th Tower. So hurry up and find them.”

“Yes!”

Hamer started diligently performing his duties as the sub-administrator of the 10th Tower, which he had been neglecting until now.

***

[You have arrived on the 35th floor of the Golden Tower.]

As soon as Sejun arrived,

Kiki!

Kiki!

The Destruction Devourers, who had been eagerly awaiting Sejun’s arrival, greeted him excitedly.

“Alright, let’s go home, Devourers.”

Clunk.

As Sejun opened the Void Storage,

“Chairman Park, I missed you, meow!”

Theo, who had been in a standby mode ever since entering the Void Storage, quickly sprang out and clung to Sejun’s face.

“Chairman Park, your face got so rotten just in that short time, meow!”

Theo started kneading Sejun’s face.

“Hey! You weren’t even in there for 10 seconds!”

“But your face still looks rotten, meow!”

“It does not!”

Squeeze.

In the end, Theo got his cheeks pinched as a punishment by Sejun.

Kkihihit. Kking?!

[Heh heh. Didn’t I say the great Blackie would come back?! Hurry and get in quickly!]

Meanwhile, Blackie was directing the Destruction Devourers to enter the Void Storage.

“You guys climb up here.”

Kkiruk!

Shalarrang!

Eomdol, Ggomi, and Kkabi guided the Destruction Devourers, making sure as many of them as possible could fit into the Void Storage.

As the Destruction Devourers smoothly entered the Void Storage even without Sejun’s direct supervision,

“Let’s see here.”

“Meow, meow, meow.”

Sejun placed Theo on his lap and began to check the things he hadn’t been able to due to being busy.

First, the Achievements of Courage.

When Sejun thought of the Heart of Courage that had been absorbed into his own heart,

[Heart of Courage]

→ You can accumulate Achievements of Courage and use them when needed.

→ Current accumulated Achievements of Courage: 2 (Items exchangeable with achievements)

The details appeared in front of Sejun just as he desired.

And there was something new that he hadn’t seen before.

‘Items exchangeable with achievements?’

When Sejun focused his gaze on that part,

Enhance <Power: The Courageous One> – 100 Achievements of Courage

Awaken ‘Talent: Fearless’ – 50 Achievements of Courage

Acquire ‘Skill: Summon Courageous Warrior (Master)’ – 40 Achievements of Courage

Acquire ‘Skill: Mark of Courage (Master)’ – 30 Achievements of Courage

Increase all Stats by 100 (10/10) – 2 Achievements of Courage

Options that could be exchanged with Achievements of Courage appeared.

“I should save up more of these for now.”

Stats: Strength (3015/3553) Stamina (3517/4088) Agility (2862/3379) Magic Power (4433/4907) Mental Strength (832/3000)

With total of 4 Stats exceeding 10,000, Sejun decided that increasing all Stats by 100 wasn’t very significant, so he decided to aim for combat skills first.

Next, Sejun took out the Golden Earth Orb that had sealed Patrick from his pocket.

He had checked it before, but as time passed, he felt the orb was becoming more golden in hue.

At first, he thought it was just his imagination, but the golden color was indeed growing more vivid over time.

And then,

[Golden Earth Orb]

→ This is the orb that once sealed Patrick, the God of Earth.

→ It still contains some of the Earth’s power.

→ Patrick, the God of Earth, left a part of his <Power: Earth’s Resting Place> in the orb to express his gratitude to Park Sejun of the Black Tower for rescuing him.

→ Even if the Earth’s power is used, it will continue to replenish itself.

→ Usage Restriction: None

→ Grade: ★★

As Sejun had suspected, there was a change in the Golden Earth Orb.

To enhance Flamie’s trust in the gods, Patrick had gone out of his way to infuse a portion of his Power into the orb.

“Oh! Patrick-nim, thank you!”

I’ll build two achievement monuments for you!

The name? Twin Achievement Monuments.

Thanks to this, Patrick became the first god to receive the honor of having the first-ever twin achievement monuments from Sejun.

And so, Sejun decided to build twin monument statues for Patrick when he returned home.

Lastly, he checked his Skills.

Skills: Magic Seed Sowing (Master), Harvesting Lv. 9, Seed Shop Lv. 5, Seed Harvesting Lv. 9, Farmer’s Warm Touch Lv. 8, Crop Gigantification Lv. 7, Fire Field Lv. 5, You’re a Field Lv. 8, Greenhouse Lv. 6, Laying Grass Lv. 2, Crop Miniaturization Lv. 1, Beekeeping Lv. 8, Rain Thunder Lv. 6, Cooking Lv. 9, Fermentation Lv. 4, Vitality Lv. 7, Intermediate Swordsmanship Lv. 5, Intermediate Spear Technique Lv. 1, Intermediate Shield Technique Lv. 1.

After completing the Job Quest, all of his Job Skills had increased by one level, and the Magic Seed Sowing skill had reached Master.

For the first time, Sejun had mastered a Job Skill. While Mastering a skill typically signifies the end,

Puk.

[You have planted a Destruction Devourer seed in magic-infused land.]

[Your Job Experience have slightly increased.]

[Your proficiency in Magic Seed Sowing (Master) has slightly increased.]

Despite being a Master skill, the Proficiency of Magic Seed Sowing continued to rise.

Is there a next level?

Sejun thought that perhaps fulfilling certain conditions might unlock the next stage.

At that moment,

Kking? Kking!

[Guys, trust your leader! The great Blackie will return soon, so just wait a bit longer!]

Kiki!

Kiki!

As there wasn’t enough space in the Void Storage, Blackie was barking enthusiastically to reassure the Destruction Devourers.

“I better hurry and get this done. Let’s go.”

Sejun quickly put his companions into the Void Storage and returned to the Black Tower.

***

The Outskirts of Destruction.

“Damn it! Are there really so few who follow me?!”

Halphas, who had been waiting for the Apostles of Destruction for three weeks, was on the verge of giving up.

Thud.

At that moment, Leviathan, the serpent that summons tsunamis and the 12th seat of the Apostles of Destruction, returned to replenish the power he had exhausted in his attempts to destroy a world and conquer the towers.

“Oh! Leviathan, you came?! I knew you’d show up!”

Halphas welcomed Leviathan with delight.

“···?”

What’s going on?

Leviathan, who had been completely lost in thought.

“Oh?! Yes, of course! Sorry for being late! I had a lot to do, so it took me some time to get here.”

Suddenly, Leviathan remembered that Halphas had summoned all of the Apostles of Destruction and quickly responded.

‘But you were still waiting all this time?!’

Somebody, please hurry up and show up! Halphas~nim is scary!

Leviathan felt a chill of fear at Halphas’ relentless persistence.
