Solo Farming In The Tower

Chapter 264: Another One?!

Chapter 264: Another One?!

TL: Hanguk

Wow!

Sejun admired the completed family portrait on the giant canvas. He especially liked how handsomely he was portrayed.

Well, since the others were animals, it was true that Sejun was the most handsome by human standards.

Hehehe. Am I not overly beautified here?

Sejun, still not accustomed to his face beautified by Theos massage, asked with a shy voice.

Then,

Peep peep.

[We didnt do anything. Its because His Majestys uncle has such a splendid appearance.]

Hehehe. Well, I guess I am that splendid

The representative of the painter rabbits, skilled in social etiquette, complimented Sejuns appearance once more, making him feel even better.

No, well its just a bit Alright, youve worked hard. Heres your payment, go and enjoy some good food.

Thanks to this, they earned a generous amount for a celebratory meal.

A little later,

Peep!

[Move the painting!]

The servants carefully moved the completed royal family portrait to the White Castle lobby.

And then,

Ppyak!

[Uncle, Ill be busy for a while due to the founding ceremony of the Red Ribbon Kingdom happening in three days!]

Black Rabbit and ChuChu had to leave for the preparation of the founding ceremony right after their honeymoon.

Lets go home for a bit.

No matter how delicious the royal food and how comfortable the servants made things, it wasnt as relaxing as being at home.

Lets go quickly, meow!

Krueng!

[Even Cuengi wants to go home!]

Theo and Cuengi seemed eager to go home just like Sejun.

However,

Kyoot kyoot kyoot. I have work left here and cant go.

Iona emerged from Theos tail, taking out a Theo-ball, and spoke in a gloomy voice.

Iona, the master of the Black Towers wizard tower, had meetings scheduled with other faction leaders at the tower.

Such an opportunity for all faction leaders to meet wasnt easy to come by.

Okay, then. Lets meet again in three days.

Kyoo kyoo kyoo. Yes! See you then, Vice Chairman Theo.

Understood, meow!

Having said goodbye to Iona, Sejun moved to the plaza in front of White Castle, where the Waypoint to the 55th floor of the tower was.

Alright, get inside.

Clank.

Sejun put the animals into the void storage and placed his hand on the red crystal.

[Loading waypoints to other floors.]

A message appeared along with the waypoints to the floors Sejun could travel to.

[Stored Waypoints]

99th floor of the Tower

85th floor of the Tower

83rd floor of the Tower

Sejun chose the 99th floor to return home.

***

[Arrived at the 99th floor of the Black Tower.]

Bang!

With the message of arrival at the 99th floor, there was a loud noise from behind Sejun.

Startled by the loud noise, Sejun quickly turned his head to look back.

A toad?!

Beyond the Ice wall created by Ice Cube for Sejuns protection, he saw a giant toad.

In the absence of the Minotaur King, some strange creature had taken over the Waypoint.

That was a close call

Currently, Theo, Cuengi, and the golden bat were all inside the void storage. Without the Ice Cube, he might have been directly attacked by it.

Well, with the Black Dragons scales and the <Power: Indestructible Body>, he wouldnt have died

But considering the guts and power of the creature that had taken over the 99th floor Waypoint, it would have been quite dangerous.

Summon Void Storage.

As Sejun was about to open the void storage to call the animals,

Slurp.

The toad, having failed its initial attack, stuck out its tongue again to attack Sejun.

Ice Cube!

Sejun used the Ice Cube to protect himself from the toads tongue attack.

However,

Whoosh.

The toads tongue, initially flying straight, curved around the Ice Cube and attacked Sejun from another angle.

What?!

Sejun was startled by the unexpected attack.

Then,

Crackle.

Another Ice Cube appeared, protecting Sejun. The holy stone Ice Cube was working hard, fearing that it might be called back by Aileen if something happened to Sejun.

Clank.

Come out, guys.

Meanwhile, Sejun opened the void storage door and called out to the animals.

***

Clank.

Alright, stay inside.

As the void storage door closed,

Krueng!

[Snack time!]

Cuengi enthusiastically filled his snack bag while roaming around the warehouse,

(Pip-pip.)

and the golden bat, having returned to its old home after a long time, settled down in its usual spot and closed its eyes.

Then,

Chairman Park, when are you coming, meow?

Eager to see Sejuns lap as soon as possible, Theo waited in front of the void storage door, ready to rush out at any moment, while making biscuits.

As time passed,

Clank.

The void storage door opened, revealing Sejuns face. Its Chairman Park, meow!

Excited Theo was about to rush to Sejun, putting strength into his hind legs,

Meow?!

Theos eyes caught a giant toad raising its front legs to attack Sejun.

How dare you attack Chairman Park, meow?! Chairman Park, I, Vice Chairman Theo, will protect you, meow!

As soon as there was a chance, Theo quickly dashed out,

Thump!

Ugh!

He stepped on Sejuns face and leaped into the air,

Snap!

Meow meow~Fist!

and with his dragon claws out, he swiftly dealt with the giant toad.

[Guard Theo has defeated the Giant Poison Toad Doobi.]

[Guard Theo has earned 20 million experience points, which is 50% of the total.]

It was indeed a dangerous creature.

With poison and a name Sejun realized from the enemys name in the message that it was not an easy opponent.

And then,

Pat. pat.

Sejun stroked Theos belly, who was now focused on grooming on Sejuns lap. Thank you.

While petting Theo, Sejun took out the Holy Stone Ice Cube to examine it closely.

He didnt know how it was trained, but the performance of the holy stone had improved greatly.

It autonomously created an Ice Cube to protect Sejun, and the sturdiness of the Ice Cube had changed from before.

[Holy Stone Ice Shield Cube]

A stone formed from a star falling from the sky.

The Holy Stone Ice Cube has evolved, gaining additional shield power, making the ice even harder.

If you are recognized as the owner, you supply magic power to the holy stone to create ice in the shape of a cube.

When the owner is in danger, the holy stone automatically creates ice cubes around the owner for protection.

Owner: Tower Farmer Park Sejun

Grade: SS

Usage restriction: Magic power 321 or higher

Ice Shield Cube? The holy stone can evolve too

It was a result of surviving Aileens harsh training.

Sejun read the description and took out the Holy Stone Piercing. Maybe I should ask Aileen to train this one too?

Shiver, shiver.

As if reading Sejuns thoughts, the Holy Stone Piercing trembled.

Then,

Chairman Park, pet here too, meow!

Theo raised his chin, requesting Sejun to stroke under his chin.

Alright.

Sejun put the Holy Stone Piercing in his pocket and stroked Theos chin.

Thanks to Theo, the Holy Stone Piercing overcame the crisis.

Must evolve!

The Holy Stone Piercing entered special training for evolution.

Stroking gently.

While Sejun was petting Theos chin and belly with both hands,

Kuehehehe. Krueng!

[Hehehe. All filled up!]

Cuengi, having filled his snack bag to the brim, came out of the void storage with a proud expression.

Krueng?

Cuengi saw Sejun, who was lying down petting Theos chin and belly.

Dada dada.

Cuengi hurriedly ran to Sejuns legs.

Then,

Snap.

Krueng!

[Cuengi loves dads patting too!]

Cuengi climbed onto Sejuns lap and grabbed one of Sejuns hands petting Theo, placing it on his head.

Puhaha. The greatest bliss is receiving Chairman Parks touch on Chairman Parks lap

Meow?!

Theos happiness, who was enjoying Sejuns strokes with closed eyes, diminished.

Whos that, meow?! Annoyed, Theo opened his narrowed eyes to find the culprit disturbing his bliss,

Krueng!

and saw Cuengi holding Sejuns hand with his front paws and placing it on his head.

Cuengi, what are you doing, meow?!

Big brother, Cuengi will take just one of dads hands!

Alright, meow!

Through their eyes, a conversation passed between the two, quickly reaching an agreement.

However,

Lets go.

Meow?

Krueng?

As Sejun stood up, their agreement became moot.

Krueng!

Upon arriving at the farm, mushroom ants working in the field greeted Sejun.

Good, youve been well?

Sejun received a warm welcome from the mushroom ants as he headed home.

Then,

Flap, flap.

The dragon statues in front of Sejuns house, which had been waiting for Sejuns return, flew towards him to greet him.

-Kahaha! Our Sejun has arrived, hasnt he?

-Sejun! You finally came?!

-Hahaha. Welcome, Tower Farmer of the Black Tower! I am the great Red Dragon Ramter Zahir!

Yes Hello. I am Park Sejun, the Tower Farmer of the Black Tower.

Seeing the red dragon statue for the first time, Sejun moved closer to Kaiser and Kellion before greeting them.

He was sure that Kaiser and Kellion wouldnt harm him, but he wasnt sure about this red dragon.

-Hmm! Lets get along well from now on.

Although Ramter was displeased with Sejuns cautious attitude, he decided to tolerate it as he was in need.

As Sejun greeted Ramter,

-Sejun, take this.

Kaiser handed over a heavy bag of money.

Huh?! 25 billion Tower Coins?! Are you going to reserve half Samyangju and half grape wine with this money?

Seeing the enormous amount of Tower Coins in the bag, Sejun asked Kaiser, assuming it was meant for reserving alcohol.

However,

-Thats the price for the black beans.

What? Black beans?

A sudden mention of a crop in Kaisers statement caught Sejun off guard.

-Yes. I

Kaiser explained that he had eaten the black beans he received from the mushroom ants due to an unavoidable situation.

So black beans do yield

The only one of the five-colored beans that Sejun had never harvested. He had been wondering if they actually bore fruit, but now his question was answered.

But who knew black beans had such an effect

The ability to increase all stats ninefold when eaten with other beans. It would be incredibly effective even for himself.

But if dragons received the same effect from it it was unimaginable. A realm beyond Sejuns imagination.

What a shame.

If he had been there, he could have put the black beans in the Box of Abundance and harvested two black beans every day.

Thank you. Ill use it well.

It was already a thing of the past. Sejun put his regret behind him and took the money.

-Right. Next time there are black beans, Ill be the first to buy them.

-Thats not fair!

-Right! We need to discuss this amongst ourselves!

Kellion and Ramter protested Kaisers statement.

As the dragons argued over who would buy the black beans,

Swoosh.

Sejun quietly stood up. They always end up drinking together after such fights. No point in staying and getting caught in a dragon fight.

Hehehe. Ill use this money to ask Aileen for powers.

As Sejun distanced himself from the dragons and was about to call Aileen,

Kkwek!

The mushroom ant that had gifted the black beans to Kaiser approached Sejun confidently with its antennae raised.

Then,

Thump.

It placed a single bean on Sejuns palm.

Huh?! Whats this?!

Sejun was surprised to see the black bean on his palm. Theres another one?!

Kkwek!

The mushroom ant looked smug at Sejuns expression. It hadnt harvested just one black bean. There was one extra, so it had gifted one to Kaiser.
