Solo Farming In The Tower

Chapter 490: Heheh, No Problem

TL: Hanguk

Black Tower Administrator Area.

“How dare they betray my Sejun?!”

Aileen trembled with rage as she read the report sent by Ice Cube and Piercing.

-Such ungrateful bastards!!! My dear granddaughter, you mustn’t let such people go unpunished! This old man will go and teach them a lesson…

Kaiser, who had been waiting for a chance to calm Aileen’s anger, also became enraged beside her.

“No. Grandpa, stay put. I’ll handle it.”

-You will?

Aileen responded to me! Thank you, Sejun.

Kaiser, now finally having a conversation with Aileen, quietly smiled and watched how she would deal with the stars.

A little later.

When morning came, and the disappearance of stars wouldn’t be noticeable, Aileen summoned all twelve Zodiac stars.

Thus, twelve star-shaped stones were summoned into the Administrator Area.

“I am Aileen Pritani, the Administrator of the Black Tower and a Great Black Dragon. I’ve heard that among you, some have betrayed my Sejun and are now following some so-called god of starlight, Milki or Milk or whatever. Is that true?”

Aileen asked, glaring fiercely at the stars in front of her.

-Yes, that’s true. We don’t know how you found out, Aileen-nim, but even if you are the great black dragon, you can’t change our decision!

-That’s right!

-We will follow Milky-nim, the god of starlight.

Five stars stepped forward, asserting their stance, their bodies twinkling and sparkling as they spoke.

“Is that so? Polymorph, release.”

104.28.193.250

In response to the five stars’ declaration, Aileen’s expression turned cold as she reverted to her true form.

And then…

Boom!

“How dare you speak so boldly after betraying my Sejun?! Do you think I won’t get angry?!”

She began her punishment, stomping firmly on the five stars.

-Gyaaah!

-Ugh!

-Why are you doing this?!

The stars, pinned under Aileen’s foot, groaned in pain but held their ground.

Press.

-We were wrong!

-Please spare us!

-We were wrong!

Unable to bear the increasing pressure, they began to beg for forgiveness. However, they didn’t humble themselves enough to declare their allegiance to Sejun.

-She’s gotten stronger.

-Indeed. Still, it was harder when we were Holy Stones.

-I agree. I thought I’d be shattered back then…

Ice Cube and Piercing reminisced about their own past as they watched Aileen mercilessly stomp on the five stars.

At that moment…

-Do you know why Aileen-nim is doing this?

-Tell us. Why is Aileen-nim so angry?

-It’s satisfying to see, but I’m curious about the reason.

Five stars that had been loyal to Sejun from the start asked Ice Cube and Piercing.

Although it felt gratifying to see Aileen disciplining the stars who had betrayed Sejun, they couldn’t understand why the Great Black Dragon herself would step in just because of a little betrayal of a mere tower farmer.

-Fine. We’ll tell you, just for you. The truth is, Sejun-nim and Aileen-nim are lovers.

-From what I see, Aileen-nim likes him more.

The two stars proudly explained to the others why the five traitorous stars were being trampled by Aileen.

-You’re lucky. Normally, she starts by stomping on everyone.

-That’s right. Ice Cube got stomped on twice.

-One of those times was because you tattled, Piercing!

-Well, who told you to betray Sejun-nim in the first place?!

-That… I regret it.

While Sejun’s loyal stars listened to Ice Cube and Piercing’s story…

“Blind! Did you call my Sejun a ‘mere human’?! You’re just a mere star! How dare you?!”

Aileen was still holding down four of the stars with her left foot, while using her right foot to press down hard on Blind, who had insulted Sejun, demanding an explanation.

And then…

-Gyagyaak! I’m sorry!

“If you’re sorry, then swear your allegiance to Sejun!”

-What?! No matter what, how can we submit to such a weak being as Sejun-nim…

“Then die!”

Press!

As soon as Blind gave his reply, Aileen pressed her weight down even harder on her right foot.

Crack.

-Aaaagh! My body is cracking! The star’s dying!

Blind screamed in agony.

– Aileen, I will submit to Sejun-nim!

“Then swear properly!”

– I, the star Blind, swear to obey Sejun-nim for the rest of my life!

Finally, he swore allegiance to Sejun, and

“Now, next is Power-Up. You said you couldn’t trust my Sejun, didn’t you?”

-That’s correct…

“What?!”

Press.

-Sob sob… I was arrogant! I, the star Power-Up, swear to obey Sejun-nim for the rest of my life…

The other stars, too, eventually surrendered as Aileen stomped on them.

As expected, my granddaughter.

Kaiser looked proudly at his granddaughter Aileen, who had made the stars swear allegiance.

***

99th Floor of the Black Tower.

“Ah, I’m so full.”

Kueng!

[Dad, here’s your coffee!]

“Ah, thanks.”

Sllluuurp.

Sejun sipped the coffee that Cuengi had brought him.

“Mmm, delicious.”

Morning coffee really is the best.

Sejun enjoyed a brief moment of relaxation, sipping his coffee.

“Well then, let’s head to the Silver Tower.”

“Let’s go, meow!”

Kueng!

[Let’s go!]

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hehe. The Great Blackie is on his way!]

As Sejun stood up, the rest of the party also rose and entered the Void Storage.

“What are you doing, meow?! Kwin, you’re a full-time employee now, so hurry and get in, meow!”

Theo, who had already claimed the front spot by lying in the loaf position at the entrance of the Void Storage, called out to Kwin, who was standing awkwardly.

“Yes.”

Kwin responded and entered the Void Storage.

He said he was a butler, but…

Kwin glanced back at Sejun through the closing gap of the door.

Clearly, he seemed the weakest among the group, suited only for serving others, but strangely, Sejun was the leader of this group.

And the Great Blackie, who had blown away the storm in his mind with just a snort, was…

Kihihit.

Kueng!

[Blackie, don’t secretly eat the roasted sweet potato slices!]

Kking…

Being treated as the weakest in this group.

What’s going on?

Kwin was utterly confused.

Clunk.

The door of the Void Storage closed.

“Alright, shall we go?”

Rustle.

Sejun unfolded the Land Deed for the 82nd floor of the Silver Tower.

[The summoning function for the initial engraving of the land deed for the Silver Tower’s 82nd floor has been activated.]

With the message, Sejun vanished.

***

[You have arrived on the 82nd floor of the Silver Tower.]

“Camouflage.”

Upon arriving at the Silver Tower, Sejun quickly used his skill to hide himself.

And then…

‘Hehehe. There are really a lot of them.’

Lying flat on the ground, Sejun chuckled as he observed the residents of the Silver Tower resting.

Sejun was aiming for four birds with one stone on this visit to the Silver Tower.

Quest completion, raising stats with <Title: Saint of Feeding>, raising mental strength by receiving praise, and adding employees.

At that moment…

Clunk.

“Great Hybrid Chairman Park, I missed you, meow!”

Slap!

Theo, who could find Sejun regardless of his disguise, clung to Sejun’s face, and

Kueng!

Kking!

Cuengi and Blackie also rushed towards Sejun.

“Ahem.”

Kwin, looking somewhat awkward also stepped out of the Void Storage.

Then…

“It’s Kwin-nim!”

“Kwin-nim has returned!”

“Kwin-nim, are you alright?!”

The residents of the Silver Tower, upon spotting Kwin, flocked to him.

They had been waiting anxiously for Kwin, who had suddenly been taken away by a dragon.

“I’m fine.”

“Kwin-nim’s eyes…?”

“Yes, my madness has been cured.”

“Oh! Congratulations!”

“Don’t push, please.”

While Kwin received the congratulations of the residents, Sejun, on the contrary, was pushed to the outskirts of the crowd as he tried to avoid the influx of people.

During this time…

Whoosh.

A blue mist emerged from the open Void Storage.

[Park Sejun, the Black Tower Farmer, has accomplished the Great Creation feat by spreading the energy of creation within the Silver Tower.]

[The balance of the Silver Tower has been partially restored.]

[As a reward for the Great Creation feat, the cost of staying on the 0th floor of the Black Tower will be reduced by 1%.]

“Ah, right. There was this too.”

Sejun’s reason for coming to the Silver Tower had now become a five birds with one stone situation.

“This looks like a good spot to plant.”

Sejun found a flat piece of land and dug into it.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Plop.

He planted the Grape Seed Containing the World Tree.

However…

[You have planted the Grape Seed Containing the World Tree using Magic Seed Sowing.]

[The land is too barren.]

[Please plant it in a location with richer soil fertility.]

A message appeared, stating that the seed couldn’t grow due to the poor fertility of the soil.

Heheh. No problem.

“Abundance!”

I’m not the same person I used to be.

Sejun, with a smug expression, placed his right hand on the ground and used his Power while sipping on a Mugwort Juice of Life potion with his left hand.

“Abundance!”

[The <Power: Abundance!> is being applied to the farm.]

[The soil in the farm becomes twice as fertile.]

As he continued to boost the fertility of the land using his power, Sejun’s life force consumption increased, and the state of the land gradually improved.

The once dry and crumbly soil began to gain moisture and gleam with vitality.

“Abundance!”

After using his power ten times on the soil…

[You lack enough life force to continue using your power.]

[One Life Orb has been consumed.]

The amount of life force drained all at once had increased significantly, consuming one of his Life Orbs.

This is the last one.

Even the Life Orbs couldn’t keep up with the consumption beyond this point.

As Sejun drank another mugwort juice and replenished his Life Orbs back to three…

Crunch.

Finally, the Grape Seed Containing the World Tree began to sprout.

Pop.

…i…

Peek.

A small sprout energetically pushed its head out of the soil, extending its roots down.

Boing!

…Y…

Soon, the sprout spread its leaves left and right, as if raising its arms in a cheer.

“Oh!”

It’s out!

Sejun looked at the sprout with a joyful expression.

But then…

“Huh?”

The World Tree remained in its sprout form even after several minutes had passed.

“What’s going on?”

Could it be that the soil’s fertility is still lacking?

“Abundance!”

Sejun used his power once again.

[The <Power: Abundance!> is being applied to the farm.]

[The soil in the farm becomes twice as fertile.]

The World Tree had indeed absorbed much of the land’s fertility, causing the fertility to drop. With the fertility now improved, Sejun’s life force consumption decreased significantly.

“Good, Abundance!”

While Sejun continued to increase the fertility of the land by repeatedly using his power…

Whooosh.

Suddenly, the wind began to blow fiercely.

The strong winds, which had been suppressed by Kwin after drinking the Golden Grape Wine of Explosive Magic Power as a reward from the grape wine drinking competition, had started up again.

Moreover, due to the backlash from the previously suppressed winds, the gusts were even stronger this time.

Rumble.

From a distance, dozens of massive tornadoes rapidly approached Sejun and the residents of the Silver Tower, surrounding them.

“All of you, quickly evacuate the residents!”

“Yes!”

The wind magicians, following Kwin’s orders, began evacuating the residents into underground shelters.

Step. Step.

Kwin walked towards Sejun.

Kwin had heard that the reason Sejun came here was to grow a World Tree that could stop the winds. Determined to help Sejun at all costs, Kwin approached him.

Even if it costs me my life…

Standing next to Sejun, Kwin was ready to lay down his life if necessary.

“Ha…”

As Kwin prepared to slow down the approaching tornadoes with a determined shout…

“Meow! I, Hybrid Vice Chairman Theo, will punish those who interfere with the great Hybrid Chairman Park’s work, meow!”

Theo rushed toward the tornadoes.

“What?! You’ll get yourself killed-”

Kwin quickly swallowed his words as he was about to stop Theo.

As Theo approached the tornadoes…

“Meow! Meow! Meow, meow! Meow-meow Storm Fist, meow!”

Using his Meow-step technique, Theo quickly ran in the opposite direction of the tornadoes, reducing their strength and causing them to gradually dissipate one by one.

Is that even possible?

Kwin was astonished, watching Theo’s unbelievable actions.

A short while later.

“Puhuhut, Great Hybrid Chairman Park, I’ve earned the title ‘One Who Subdues the Wind’, meow! With this title, I can easily subdue the wind, meow! Chairman Park should get one too, meow!”

“Hmm. I can’t do that.”

“No, that’s not true, meow! It’s easy to get, meow! I’ll help you, meow!”

“No, I really can’t.”

“Don’t give up, meow! I, Hybrid Vice Chairman Theo, will…”

“I said I can’t!”

As Theo, who had dispersed the tornadoes, tried to convince Sejun to obtain the same title as him…

Whoosh.

The wind began blowing again. Since the tornadoes didn’t work, this time, the wind blew fiercely in a straight line.

As the wind started to blow, sand was carried with it, shooting like bullets.

Kuhehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehe. This time, Cuengi will handle it!]

Cuengi ran toward the direction of the wind.

Kuueeeeeng!

[You can’t come!]

Cuengi used his Kueng-fooo ability against the wind.

…

The wind, hit by Kueng-fooo, quickly stopped.

No.

Whoooosh.

Instead, the wind reversed direction, wiping away even the distant gusts.

Kuhehehe. Kueng! Kueng!

[Hehehe. Dad, Cuengi got the power ‘Reverse Wind’! With the power of Reverse Wind…]

While Cuengi was proudly showing off the new power he had gained to Sejun…

[Docking!]

In the deepest part of the underground, where Flamie had been waiting to keep Sejun safe, the roots of Flamie and the World Tree met.

The World Tree had been growing only its roots to meet with Flamie.

And then…

[Here, eat this quickly!]

[Thank you for the meal! It’s delicious!]

Unlike Podori, who was also a grapevine, the World Tree happily gobbled up the nutrient supplement Flamie provided.

[Now I feel stronger! Here I go!]

Crack.

After eating the nutrient supplement from Flamie, the World Tree began to grow rapidly.
