Solo Farming In The Tower

Chapter 431: I'm Back.

TL: Hanguk

[Herbalist Cuengi Park, has defeated the Flesh Eater.]

[You’ve gained 500 experience points, which is 50% of what Herbalist Cuengi Park gained.]

···

..

.

[You have leveled up.]

[You have gained 1 bonus stat.]

“Oh. I leveled up.”

While Sejun was smiling at leveling up without lifting a finger thanks to Cuengi,

Kuehehehe. Kueng?

[Hehehe. Dad, did Cuengi do well?]

Cuengi rummaged through his snack pouch and pulled out his stamp card.

“Of course, you did very well. But how much pocket money has our Cuengi saved up?”

Squish.

Sejun, with a tense expression, stamped the stamp card.

Kueng! Kueng!

[Cuengi saved a lot! Here it is!]

Excited to show off his hard-earned pocket money, Cuengi quickly handed his pocket money pouch to Sejun.

And then,

“Oh! Cuengi, look over there! It’s a convenience store! There are lots of tasty things there, shall we go have a look?”

After receiving Cuengi’s pocket money pouch, Sejun quickly suggested they go look at the convenience store.

His plan was to refill Cuengi’s pocket money pouch with 3000 Tower Coins while Cuengi was distracted by the snacks at the convenience store.

However,

Kueng! Kueng!

[No! Cuengi want to quickly meet Cuengi’s grandma and ask her to make delicious food!]

Sigh.

Although he was drooling, our Cuengi was not one to give in to devious temptation.

“Excuse me, Dong-sik ssi, could you lend me your phone for a moment?”

“Sure, here it is.”

Thus, changing his plan, Sejun borrowed Dong-sik’s smartphone, then

“Is it okay if I make a video call?”

“Of course! Feel free to use it as you like.”

Sejun video called Kim Mi-ran.

-Hello?

“Mom, it’s me, Sejun.”

-Sejun! Have you finally come out of the tower?!

“Yeah. But I think I’ll have to go back in soon.”

-How long will you be here?

“About three hours? Mom, just a moment. I’ll let Cuengi talk.”

-Oh my! Cuengi came out too?!

Mom, why are you more happier about Cuengi coming out? Your son is starting to feel left out.

“Cuengi, it’s grandma.”

When Sejun handed the phone to Cuengi,

Kueng!

[Cuengi is happy to see grandma!]

Holding the phone with both front paws, Cuengi bowed to Kim Mi-ran.

-Our Cuengi, have you been well?

Kueng!

[Cuengi wants to eat the delicious food grandma makes!]

-Okay. Cuengi, grandma has made lots of delicious food, so come quickly.

Kueng! Kueng!

[Cuengi is hungry! Cuengi can eat a lot!]

Even though they didn’t speak the same language, their conversation flowed smoothly.

While Cuengi was talking with Kim Mi-ran,

Hands are quicker than the eye!

Sejun swiftly took out 3000 Tower Coins and put them into the allowance pouch.

“Mom, we’ll be there in about an hour, so tell Se-dol to order all my usual delivery food.”

-Okay. Hurry up! I want to see you.

“…Okay.”

Although he felt like they were waiting for Cuengi rather than him, Sejun ignored it and ended the video call.

Then,

“Wow. Our Cuengi saved up 3000 Tower Coins?”

He said in a surprised voice as he nonchalantly took out 3000 tower coins from the pocket money pouch.

Kueng! Kueng!

[That’s right! Cuengi is rich!]

Cuengi proudly puffed out his belly instead of his chest at Sejun’s words.

Perfect. Everything went smoothly.

“Yes, our Cuengi is rich.”

[Skill: Cuengi’s Step Punch (Master) has been copied.]

While petting Cuengi’s belly, Sejun copied the skill.

Through his research, Sejun found that the higher the closeness with the other person, the higher the probability of successfully copying the desired skill with the Skill Copying Stone.

Of course, the skill had to be usable.

Thanks to this, Sejun was only able to copy Cuengi’s Step Punch.

He planned to personally eliminate the power of destruction within 500km using Cuengi’s Step Punch. Because the destruction was in the sea.

If Cuengi used Cuengi’s Step Punch to eliminate it, the countries around the East Sea, West Sea, and South Sea might suffer enormous damage from giant tsunamis.

[ Cuengi’s Step Punch (Master)]

→ This is a joint skill created by the Crimson Giant Honeybear Cuengi and his master, the Minotaur King, to strike enemies from a distance without causing harm to Cuengi’s dad.

→ The skill evolved from Cuengi’s Hundred Steps Punch and Cuengi’s Thousand Steps Punch, allowing attacks on distant enemies as long as they can be detected.

→ The power of the attack decreases for every 1km of distance to the enemy.

→ Usage Requirement: All stats above 1000.

Let’s finish this quickly and go home!

“Cuengi-Park Step Punch!”

Whoosh.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Sejun subtly attached his own name to the skill as he thrust his fist forcefully towards where he sensed the power of destruction.

······

Naturally, nothing happened in front of him.

Heh. Now a message should appear saying I’ve eliminated the destruction in the East Sea.

Sejun kept waiting for the message,

······

but no message appeared.

[Skill: Cuengi’s Step Punch (Master) has been copied.]

Whoosh.

He used the skill a few more times on the nearby power of destruction, but no message appeared.

“Ah, I’m tired. Vice Chairman Theo, take this.”

In the end, Sejun, exhausted after using Cuengi-Park Step Punch seven times, handed the Skill Copying Stone to Theo to use the skill instead.

“Meow!”

[Guard Theo Park has defeated the Giant Bloodsucking Leech.]

[You have gained 5000 experience points, which is 50% of the experience gained by Guard Theo Park.]

Theo defeated the enemy.

And then,

“Puhuhut. I’ve perfected a new skill, meow!”

Understanding the principles of the skill, Theo quickly created a new skill.

Why can Theo create skills so easily while I can’t?

Sejun watched Theo with envious eyes.

“Chairman Park, since this is a combined skill, please name it, meow!”

Puhuhut. It would be nice if Chairman Park’s name was in it, meow!

Theo asked Sejun to name the new skill.

“Theo-Cuengi-Park Meteor Step Punch Master?”

The paw that drops like a meteor on the enemy from a distance.

“Wow!”

I came up with this name?! That’s crazy! I just got goosebumps!

Sejun was astonished by his own naming skills.

Following Theo-Cuengi-Park Drill Storm, another bizarrely named combined skill was born.

“Meow! Meow!”

While Theo was using the new skill Theo-Cuengi-Park Meteor Step Punch Master to defeat the leeches,

It’s time to head home.

“Dong-sik ssi, by the way, where is our home?”

Sejun asked Dong-sik for the location of his family’s home, as he didn’t know the exact address of their new house.

“Follow me. I’ll guide you.”

“Okay.”

While Sejun and his party rode in Dong-sik’s car to go home,

“Vice Chairman Theo, this time here.”

“Got it, meow! Meow!”

Sejun grabbed Theo’s front paw and swung it towards the leech.

[Guard Theo Park has defeated the Giant Bloodsucking Leech.]

[You have gained 5000 experience points, which is 50% of the experience gained by Guard Theo Park.]

They defeated the Giant Bloodsucking Leeches.

[You have eradicated the second calamity sent by Apostle of Destruction, the Giant Bloodsucking Leech.]

[You have achieved a great feat that no one has accomplished before.]

[As a reward for your great feat, the second calamity of destruction, the Giant Bloodsucking Leech, cannot invade Earth.]

He achieved a great feat as the giant bloodsucking leeches became extinct on Earth.

[As a reward for the great feat, the stay fee on the 0th floor of the Black Tower is reduced by 2%.]

Thanks to this, the stay fee was reduced by 2%.

Only 2%…

Sejun grumbled.

But,

2% of 30 quadrillion is 600 trillion?!

He soon realized that it was a significant amount. Due to Blackie’s high staying costs, even 2% was a substantial reduction.

“But what’s this place?”

The remaining source of the power of destruction was not in the East Sea, West Sea, or South Sea, but in the north. It was also deep underground.

Puzzled by the location of the power of destruction in a completely different area, Sejun said,

“Vice Chairman Theo, this time increase the size a bit when you hit.”

“Got it, meow!”

He moved Theo’s front paw.

And then,

[Guard Theo Park has defeated the Fire Moths.]

[You have gained 3000 experience points, which is 50% of the experience gained by Guard Theo Park.]

···

..

.

[You have eradicated the third calamity sent by Apostle of Destruction, the Fire Moths.]

[You have achieved a great feat that no one has accomplished before.]

[As a reward for your great feat, the third calamity of destruction, the Fire Moths, cannot invade Earth.]

Theo’s giant paw print was deeply embedded near Mount Paektu, achieving another great feat.

The Fire Moths, which had been secretly gaining strength underground, eventually disappeared from Earth without anyone knowing.

[As a reward for your great feat, the crops cultivated by Tower Farmer Park Sejun can now absorb a small amount of power of destruction as nutrients.]

[As a reward for the great feat, the stay fee on the 0th floor of the Black Tower is reduced by 2%.]

This time, in addition to the 2% reduction in staying fee, the amount of power of destruction that the crops could absorb increased.

And then,

[You have eliminated all detected power of destruction.]

[You have completed the quest.]

[As a reward for completing the quest, the destruction of Earth has been postponed.]

The quest was finally completed.

“It’s over!”

Now I can just relax and enjoy myself!

Sejun, smiling brightly, hugged Theo, Cuengi, and the Black Rabbit, excitedly.

Yawn.

Pururong.

Pparorong.

Kurorong.

Kkirorong.

And he dozed off for a moment,

“Sejun-nim, we have arrived at your home.”

Kim Dong-sik parked the car in front of a massive mansion.

“Ah, okay.”

As Sejun hurriedly gathered his senses and got out of the car, his family was waiting in front of the house.

Kim Dong-sik had informed them in advance.

“Mom, Dad, little brother…”

Seeing his family after a long time, Sejun couldn’t help but feel emotional. The pent-up longing surged from his chest.

“Sejun…”

“Son…”

“Big brother!”

It was the same for his family.

“Waaah! Mom, Dad, Se-dol!”

“My son!”

“Sejun!”

“Big brother!”

As the family hugged and cried,

Lick. Lick.

104.28.193.250

Theo, the Black Rabbit, Cuengi, and Blackie groomed themselves one last time to make a good impression on Sejun’s family.

And then,

“Puhuhut. Nice to meet you, humans, meow! I am Theo Park, the right-hand man of Chairman Park, meow!”

Kuehehehe. Cuengi!

[Kuehehehe. Cuengi is dad’s son Cuengi Park!]

Ppyak! Ppyak!

[Hello! I’m nephew Black Rabbit!]

Khihit. Kking! Kking!

[Hehehe. I am the noble wolf, the great Blackie! As you are Park Sejun’s family, I shall grant you the honor of serving me for generations!]

They each introduced themselves.

Of course, Sejun’s family could only understand Theo’s words, so Sejun acted as the interpreter.

“Where do you get off acting so high and mighty when all you do is eat up my money!”

Thump.

Kking…

The arrogant Blackie had to endure a light flick on the forehead from Sejun.

“Please accept my bow. I’m back.”

Sejun gave a deep bow to his parents in the middle of the street.

Then,

Thud.

Following Sejun, Cuengi hurriedly lay down and bowed as well.

As Sejun got up, Cuengi also stood up and extended his front paws toward Sejun’s parents. Cuengi thought Sejun had performed the New Year’s bow.

“Cuengi, this isn’t for getting New Year’s money.”

Kueng?

[Not New Year’s money?]

Cuengi made a disappointed face at Sejun’s words.

However,

“Come on. Let’s go inside. We’ve prepared a lot of food.”

“Okay. Guys, let’s go in and eat.”

Kuehehehe. Kueng! Kueng!

[Hehehe. Finally, Cuengi gets to eat the food grandma made! So excited!]

Cuengi soon smiled brightly at Sejun’s words.

As Sejun followed his family through the garden into the house,

[Phew…]

Flamie, who had been nervous about being caught by Sejun, sighed in great relief upon seeing Sejun go inside.

(Pip-pip. Phew. It’s a relief I wasn’t caught by the hyungs.)

Paespaes also sighed in relief beside her.
