Solo Farming In The Tower

Chapter 419: Here, Have Some Praise.

TL: Hanguk

Theo had been selling green onions to the hunters of the Neta on the first floor of the Green Tower lately, but Park Sejun hadn’t expected results so soon.

“Hehehe. Well done, Vice Chairman Theo.”

He decided to praise Theo after work and make a giant grilled fish for him.

“No, I should only praise him a little.”

Imagining Theo’s smug smile after receiving praise made him feel a bit petty.

But what is the achievement reward?

As Sejun wondered about the reward,

[Due to the great achievement accomplished in the Green Tower, the reward is split equally with Ophelia Iorg, the tower farmer of the Green Tower.]

[Ophelia Iorg is your slave.]

[You gain an additional 50% of Ophelia Iorg’s share of the reward.]

A reward message appeared.

Since Sejun had accomplished the great achievement in the Green Tower, originally, the reward should have been split 50:50. However, because Ophelia was his slave, he received an additional 25%.

Thus, Sejun received 75% of the reward, while Ophelia got the remaining 25%.

[As a reward for accomplishing the great achievement, crops cultivated by Park Sejun, the tower farmer of the Black Tower, can absorb a slight amount of the power of destruction as nutrients.]

That was the reward he obtained.

“What is this…?”

There’s barely any change.

It changed from ‘very slight’ to ‘slight’.

Well, at least the Locusts were exterminated.

Sejun tried to hide his disappointment.

But unlike Sejun’s disappointment, the change from ‘very slight’ to ‘slight’ was a significant one.

Crops grown in the field where the core fragment of Fenrir was planted could absorb more nutrients,

[Ah! I can absorb more! I feel full of energy!]

Most importantly, Flamie could absorb a large amount of the red mist and clean up near the 10th tower a bit faster.

[Sausage, hurry up and eat.]

Moreover, Flamie turned the nutrients made from the red mist into fertilizer and gave it to Sausage, the new World Tree candidate.

[Sau! Sa!ge!]

Sausage, who could only say its name, responded to Flamie’s expectations by shouting its name and working hard,

Kueng!

[Dad, there are more sausages growing on the sausage tree!]

“Oh!”

Kkihiht. Kking!

[Hehehe. It’s sausages!]

Making everyone happy.

“Kuhihihi. It’s done!”

Aileen laughed, opening the pot lid,

“Ew!”

Smelled it, and hurriedly closed it.

Khing. Failed again…

But after dozens of failures, Aileen developed the skill to discern if something was edible just by smelling it.

“Alright. This time…”

As Aileen was preparing to cook with a new recipe,

Woong.

The crystal orb vibrated.

“What is it?”

Kuhihihi. Did my Sejun do something again?

Aileen rushed to the crystal orb to check the alarm.

[Black Tower’s Farmer Park Sejun has achieved a great feat by exterminating the first calamity of destruction, Locusts in the dimension protected by the Green Tower.]

“What?”

Green Tower?

Aileen was puzzled but thought it could happen.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Because it’s my Sejun!

[Due to the great achievement accomplished in the Green Tower…]

Similar alarm messages appeared to those Sejun received.

[The time needed for the Great Black Tower’s growth is reduced by 750 days.]

The time was reduced because of the 75% reward given for the great achievement.

“Kring. Too bad.”

It’s something our Sejun did, so why share it with sister Ophelia?

Aileen was upset but,

[33 days remaining until the growth of the Great Black Tower.]

“Kuhihihi. Only 33 days left until I can boast to Sejun!”

She couldn’t help but smile when she saw the time left until the Great Black Tower’s growth.

Then,

Woong.

The crystal orb vibrated once again.

[Upgrade of the Bronze Mirror of Longing is complete.]

“Kuhihihi. It’s done!”

Aileen checked the alarm and hurried to the room equipped with the magical item repair equipment.

With the elevation of the Black Tower’s status, the magical item repair equipment now had the capability to not only repair but also upgrade items.

So, Aileen, wanting Sejun to talk with his family for longer periods, informed Sejun and invested a large sum to upgrade the mirror.

Nearly after 100 days, the upgrade of the Bronze Mirror of Longing was completed.

As Aileen stood in front of the equipment,

[Silver Mirror of Longing]

A silver mirror came into view.

The Bronze Mirror of Longing had been upgraded and transformed into a Silver Mirror.

“Alright. Polymorph done, dressed, face clean.”

Aileen hurriedly checked her appearance.

Then,

‘Sejun, I’m sorry. I’ll use it first.’

Aileen didn’t inform Sejun about the upgrade completion.

Mom, I miss you!

Thinking of Sejun’s mother, Kim Mi-ran, Aileen infused her magic into the mirror.

Then, Kim Mi-ran appeared in the mirror.

“Hello, Mom!”

“Oh, Aileen, it’s been a while!”

Kim Mi-ran greeted Aileen nonchalantly as they had talked a few times before and inquired about Sejun.

As the two chatted,

“Mom, I have a favor to ask!”

Aileen brought up what she wanted to say.

“A favor? What favor?”

“Please teach me how to cook! I want to make delicious food for Sejun!”

No matter how much she practiced alone, Aileen’s cooking skills didn’t improve, so she decided to learn from Kim Mi-ran, Sejun’s cooking teacher.

“Hahaha. What kind of favor is that? Of course, I’ll teach you if it’s to feed my son.”

Unaware of Aileen’s cooking skills, Kim Mi-ran happily granted Aileen’s request, feeling proud.

And so Aileen’s intensive cooking training began.

Green Tower’s Administrator Zone.

Kreuong.

Brachio was still snoring loudly, asleep.

“Hehehe. Today, I’ll ask Theo for some food again.”

Ophelia, holding the crystal orb, was stealthily leaving the room to go to the first floor of the tower, avoiding Brachio.

At that moment,

[Black Tower’s Farmer Park Sejun has exterminated the first calamity of destruction, the locusts, sent to Neta.]

···

..

.

A message appeared in front of Ophelia.

“Ah. What? I was going to do that…”

Ophelia grumbled, feeling that the great Green Dragon, herself, had been outdone by Sejun.

But inwardly,

Oh. So Locust can be exterminated too.

Inside, she was greatly surprised. Sejun was weaker than her. She thought he was getting cocky just because of his farming…

Park Sejun, he’s amazing.

“I need to work harder too!”

Ophelia resolved to work even harder on her farming.

And then,

[As a reward for accomplishing the great achievement, crops cultivated by Ophelia Iorg, the Green Tower’s Farmer, can absorb a very, very slight amount of the power of destruction as nutrients.]

“Good. I’ll use this reward to eliminate the destruction!”

There was a lot of red mist outside the tower. If she brought it in and gave it to the crops as nutrients…

“As expected, I’m a genius!”

Ophelia didn’t hold back on praising herself.

However, she didn’t know that recently, all the great dragons were desperately searching for red mist to earn Tower Coins.

“Well, before I work harder, I go to the first floor of the tower to fill my stomach first! To the first floor of the tower…”

As Ophelia was about to move to the first floor,

Woong.

The crystal orb vibrated.

***

“Hm. What’s this?”

Brachio, the administrator of the Green Tower, woke up from the vibration of the crystal orb and, with a flick of her finger, the crystal orb flew into her hand.

“Ophelia?”

“Hehehe. Grandma, you’re awake?”

Ophelia, who was holding the crystal orb, appeared along with it.

“Ophelia, if you mess around with the crystal orb… huh?”

Brachio, who was about to scold Ophelia with a stern expression, noticed the alert on the crystal orb.

[Black Tower’s Farmer Park Sejun has achieved a great feat by exterminating the first calamity of destruction, the locusts, in the dimension protected by the Green Tower.]

···

..

.

[One of the growth conditions for the Great Green Tower, ‘Achieve 1 Great Feat’, has been fulfilled.]

[One of the growth conditions for the Great Green Tower has been achieved.]

Although the reward was divided, the tower system acknowledged that the Green Tower had accomplished one great feat.

“This is unbelievable!”

Achieving one of the conditions for the growth of the Green Giant Tower?!

Brachio was astonished after checking the alarm.

Each tower’s growth conditions differ slightly, and they are all difficult to fulfill.

And Sejun achieved that difficult task so easily?!

As expected…

Brachio realized once again that Park Sejun was an extraordinary tower farmer.

He must be the best among the farmers of the nine towers.

“But how did Park Sejun exterminate the Locusts outside the tower?”

“Grandma, actually, Sejun has a shop on the first floor of the tower…”

Ophelia told Brachio that Sejun had opened a shop on the first floor of the Green Tower.

“Really?”

Hahaha. Our Sejun opened a shop in our Green Tower?

Brachio, holding back a burst of laughter, looked at the first floor of the tower through the crystal orb.

“It’s true.”

Seeing the shop selling Sejun’s crops, she smiled contentedly.

“Grandma, I sent the bosses of the 99th, 98th, and 97th floors to guard Sejun’s shop.”

Ophelia quickly boasted about her good deed to Brachio.

“Good job, my granddaughter. I should send the boss of the 96th floor to the shop and ask if they need anything else.”

“Grandma, can’t I go and ask myself?”

“Hmm? You? That’s…”

Brachio was about to refuse. If Ophelia went down to the first floor, it would cause chaos in Sejun’s shop.

“Actually…I’ve been to the first floor before. There’s someone named Theo among Sejun’s subordinates, and Theo can absorb my energy so it doesn’t affect anyone else!”

Before Brachio could refuse, Ophelia quickly explained that it would be safe for her to go to the first floor when Theo was around.

“Really? Then only go when Theo is there.”

“Yes! Hehehe. I love you, Grandma!”

Ophelia, having received permission to go to the first floor, hugged Brachio and acted cute.

***

Green Tower, First Floor.

“It’s a disaster, meow…”

Theo was feeling dejected, looking at the unsold Sturdy Blade Green Onions.

The extinction of the Locusts was good news for everyone, but not for Theo, who needed to sell green onions.

With the Locusts exterminated in Neta, the Neta Tribe hunters no longer needed the green onions, and Theo experienced his first no-bid auction.

Since Sturdy Blade Green Onions were not edible, it was inevitable.

Fortunately, all the other crops were sold out, but…

I boasted to the Chairman before I left….

“I’m so depressed, meow…”

Theo was deeply saddened that he couldn’t sell the largest volume item, the Sturdy Blade Green Onions.

“Well, see you tomorrow, meow…”

With his tail drooping, Theo returned to the Black Tower after work.

“Vice Chairman Theo, welcome back!”

Sejun, who was grilling a giant fish and sausages, greeted Theo.

“Meow?!”

Theo was startled by Sejun’s warm welcome.

I didn’t sell everything… This is bad, meow!

Theo misunderstood, thinking that Sejun was grilling the giant fish to celebrate his complete sellout.

“Huh?”

Why is he like this?

Sejun was also confused, seeing Theo’s expression.

Normally, Theo would be clinging to his knee with a haughty attitude, demanding the giant grilled fish quickly.

‘Did something bad happen?’

Seeing Theo so downcast made Sejun uneasy.

Sigh, I wasn’t going to praise him, but… Here, have some praise.

“Hehehe. Thanks to our Vice Chairman Theo diligently selling Sturdy Blade Green Onions in the Green Tower, the Locusts were exterminated in Neta. Thanks to you, we achieved a great feat. This is all because of you, Vice Chairman Theo. You did very well. There’s no one like our Vice Chairman Theo!”

Sejun praised Theo excessively.

Then,

“Meow?”

Theo was slightly surprised.

But soon,

“Puhuhut.”

Was that it, meow? Did I do something good again, meow?

Theo’s mouth twitched, and then he said,

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I’m hungry, meow! Hurry and bring out the giant grilled fish, meow!”

He put on a haughty expression and clung to Sejun’s knee, shouting loudly.

And then,

Kuhehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehe. Bring out the sausages!]

Kkihihit. Kking!

[Kkihihit. Please bring out the sausages!]

Cuengi and Blackie followed Theo’s lead, shouting loudly.

“I shouldn’t have praised him…”

Sejun grumbled that he should have held back on the praise, unaware that the corners of his own mouth were turned up.
