Solo Farming In The Tower

TL: Hanguk

PR: MiniPixelZ

[You have arrived at the Land of Destruction.]

Sejun arrived at the Land of Destruction.

The sky was ominously red, the ground was muddy, the air was stuffy, and it smelled of rot and blood.

In short, it was an unpleasant place.

At that moment

[You have been exposed to intense energy of Destruction.]

[All abilities have decreased by 70%.]

[Life force is rapidly depleting.]

[You will die in 5 minutes.]

A message appeared in front of Sejun.

“5 minutes?!”

I have to hurry!

It’s said that seeds can’t germinate after passing a waypoint, but what about seeds created here without going through a waypoint?

“Seed Creation.”

Sejun hurriedly used the job trait he obtained by becoming an SS-grade Tower Farmer to test his hypothesis.

Then

[Please select a seed to create.]

104.28.193.250

[Magical Cherry Tomato Seed]

[Power Sweet Potato Seed]

…

..

.

[Destruction Devourer Seed]

Seeds that could be created after being harvested more than 100 million times appeared in front of Sejun.

Sejun quickly selected the Destruction Devourer Seed and

[Creating 100 Destruction Devourer Seeds.]

100 Destruction Devourer Seeds appeared in Sejun’s palm.

Please sprout!

Puk. Puk.

[You have planted Destruction Devourer Seeds in soil imbued with magic power.]

Sejun, with desperate hope, infused magic power into the ground as he planted the seeds.

If this failed, he would have to return immediately. Then he wouldn’t be able to face the Creator God, the two Apostles of Creation, and the nine dragon leaders who worked hard for him.

[The condition of the soil is at its worst.]

…

..

.

The land was in such bad condition that germination was originally impossible, but due to the master-level effect of the Magic Seed Sowing skill, which guarantees 100% germination, the Destruction Devourers successfully sprouted.

Crack.

The Destruction Devourers quickly grew and surfaced above the ground.

Due to the extremely poor land condition, they were much smaller than their original size, only about the length of a finger joint,

Hap. Hap. Hap.

but the Destruction Devourers rapidly grew by devouring the abundant and dense energy of Destruction around them.

Thanks to that, the density of the energy of Destruction around Sejun decreased, and the remaining time until Sejun’s death began to steadily increase by one second at a time. As the number of Destruction Devourers increased, so did the time.

When Sejun had planted about five seeds

Swish.

Theo, Iona, Cuengi, Paespaes, and the Blackie Family appeared on the waypoint.

And

“Is this where the Corruption lives, meow?! Something feels off, meow!”

“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Even the magic power is contaminated.”

Kueng!

[It smells weird!]

(Pip-pip. Something feels ominous.)

They shared their impressions of the Land of Destruction. All were negative.

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hehe. This is great Blackie’s territory! Just trust in great Blackie!]

“That’s right! This used to be our domain!”

Kkiruk!

Sharalang!

…

..

.

On the other hand, the Blackie Family was full of confidence.

But

[You have been exposed to intense energy of Destruction.]

…

..

[You will die in 1 minute.]

They were no longer the Apostles of Destruction who once ruled this place.

Kking!

[Butler! Great Blackie is dying!]

Sunfish Blackie urgently called out to Sejun.

Dadada.

Sejun quickly ran over, gathered his companions, and placed the Blackie Family beside the Destruction Devourers.

Then

Puk. Puk. Puk.

He rapidly planted Destruction Devourer Seeds around the Blackie Family to increase their numbers.

After a while, thanks to the 100 Destruction Devourers diligently absorbing the energy of Destruction, Blackie’s remaining time until death increased from 1 minute to 15 minutes, and Sejun’s from 5 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Hap. Hap. Hap.

Although the 100 Destruction Devourers worked hard to absorb the energy of Destruction, the surrounding energy was so dense that new energy of Destruction quickly filled the space left behind. This was the best they could do.

Thus, Sejun and his party gained a bit of breathing room. With Cuengi levitating the Destruction Devourers using telekinesis, they began exploring the area around the waypoint.

Kyaaaak!

Bang!

Kwagwagwang!

A chilling cry and explosion echoed behind Sejun and his party.

Is it over there?

As they ran toward the source of the sound, they found Emila and Amur surrounded and fighting against hundreds of thousands of dark red snakes.

The snakes were 2 to 5 meters long, without eyes or noses. Instead, they had razor-sharp shark-like teeth that looked capable of ripping out chunks of flesh with a single bite.

Kyaaaak!

The snakes, perhaps using other senses to see, attacked Emila and Amur with precision.

Whik.

Some of them turned their heads toward Sejun and his companions.

Srrrk.

The snakes slithered across the ground in an S-shape, rapidly approaching.

“Puhuhut. . I, Vice Chairman Theo, will protect the great hybrid Chairman Park, meow! Meow-meow Storm Fist.”

“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Power of the wind, with sharp winds… Tornado Blade.”

Kuehehehe. Kueng! Kueng!

[Hehehe. Cuengi will protect dad! Cuengi’s Destruction Fist!]

Theo, Iona, and Cuengi, who had already adapted to the Land of Destruction, wiped them out.

Then

[Black Tower’s Lucky Legendary Merchant Park Theo, has defeated a Small Thread Snake parasitizing Corrupted Destruction.]

[You have received 5 million experience points, which is 50% of the experience gained by Park Theo.]

[Advanced Herbalist Park Cuengi has defeated a Small Thread Snake parasitizing Corrupted Destruction.]

…

..

.

Experience gain messages appeared before Sejun.

“A Small Thread Snake parasitizing Corrupted Destruction?”

Why is the name so long for a mere mob? And this is a small thread snake? It’s over 2 meters long!

Sejun tilted his head, puzzled at the name that didn’t match its appearance.

But do they not give money?

He listened carefully, trying to hear the sound of Tower Coins dropping, but no clear metallic sound reached his ears.

It was because the dead snakes reverted into the energy of Destruction.

“Tch.”

Sejun clicked his tongue in disappointment.

“Everyone, fighting!”

He held Blackie’s two front paws and shook them to cheer on the group.

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hehe. Hyungs, fighting! Great Blackie can do it too, but I’m giving you hyungs a chance!]

Blackie also shouted out confidently to cheer them on.

Kyaaaak!

Gulp. Gulp.

Fortunately, thanks to the energy of Creation emitted by the Destruction Devourers surrounding them, no snakes approached the two sunfishes and only made threatening noises, leaving the two of them safe and focused solely on cheering.

For 10 minutes, Sejun and his group, along with Emila and Amur, roamed the area and took down the snakes.

“Because to Blackie, we’ll head off first. Please take these with you.”

Looks like I’ll have to meet Corruption another time.

Feeling a bit regretful about not encountering Corruption, Sejun handed over 100 Destruction Devourers to Emila and Amur and got ready to leave.

“Puhuhut. Great job, meow!”

“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Thank you.”

Kueng!

[Good work!]

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hehe. You guys! Great Blackie is watching, so work hard!]

The two were left behind as Sejun and the others departed.

Hap. Hap. Hap.

Thanks to the Destruction Devourers, their survival time increased from 1 hour to a full day.

“Emila-nim, I think things got worse.”

“Yeah…”

Emila and Amur, envious of Sejun who had left early, spent the whole day fighting snakes.

***

[You have arrived at the 99th floor of the Black Tower.]

As Sejun and his party returned,

Piyo!

[Sejun-nim, Theo-nim, hello!]

“Uhehehe. Hello!”

“Mohehehe. Hello!”

Nyongnyong!

Ppokppok!

Jak jak!

Piyot, Uren, Poyo, Cheongnyong, Heukbuk, and Jeokbi, who were waiting in front of the portal, greeted them.

Kya… ung?

Baektang, who had been playing on Sejun’s lap in dreams until now and hadn’t even formulated a plan to reclaim the real Sejun’s knee in reality, also woke up.

And then

Kyaung!

[Charge for now!]

Scurry scurry.

Baektang ran toward Sejun’s knee and went for a frontal assault.

Sejun-nim’s lap is so warm and nice! This time, I might beat Theo hyung. Kyaheheh.

Recalling the feeling from the dream. He was still half-dazed by the dream.

“Haak! Haak! Haak! Were you aiming for Chairman Park’s knee, meow?!”

Of course, Theo, who guarded Sejun’s knee, wouldn’t just let Baektang get away with it.

Peok!

Kyaurong.

As a consequence of aiming for Sejun’s knee, Baektang got smacked in the back of the head by Theo and was forced back into a dream.

However,

“Puhuhut. Great Hybrid Chairman Park’s knee belongs to me, Vice Chairman Theo, meow!”

“No! Theo hyung, get out of my dream! Sejun-nim’s knee is mine!”

“Puhuhut. No way, meow!”

This time, Baektang even had a nightmare of losing Sejun’s knee to Theo inside the dream.

While Baektang was knocked out by Theo,

“Ah. Sorry. It’s just a small(?) party, so I didn’t invite you. Do you have anything you want to eat?”

After hearing why Piyot and Uren were waiting here, Sejun apologized and asked.

Piyo! Piyo!

[I want to eat roasted peanuts while sitting on Theo-nim’s front paw!]

“Got it. I’ll tell Theo.”

Puhuhut!

“Uhehehe. I want braised slime short ribs!”

“I’ll add some rice cakes to the braised short ribs. That makes it even more delicious.”

“Uhehehe. Thank you.”

Piyot and Uren said what they wanted to eat.

“Mohehehe. I want Uren-nim’s special misfortune!”

Poyo also said what he wanted to eat, but

“That’s not allowed.”

“Moeng…”

Sejun cut it off. Uren’s special misfortune… just the thought of it was terrifying.

“Wait just a moment.”

Sejun went into the kitchen and had Sejun No. 12 start cooking.

A short while later.

“Puhuhut. Piyot, eat a lot, meow!”

Piyo!

[Yes!]

Peck peck peck.

Theo lay sprawled across Sejun’s lap, holding Piyot with his right front paw as Piyot pecked at peanuts and Theo happily licked up the Churu Sejun gave him.

Kuehehehe.

“Uhehehe.”

Cuengi and Uren sat in front of a large bowl filled with braised slime short ribs and diligently picked up meat and rice cakes to eat.

And Sejun and the rest of the group also ate.

“Is Baektang sick or something?”

Sejun looked worriedly at Baektang, who was groaning in his sleep, and tore off a bit of the yolk from his egg fruit yolk and placed it into Baektang’s mouth.

Then.

Chew chew.

Baektang slowly ate the yolk as if savoring the taste.

Hehehe. So cute.

As Sejun continued placing small bits of yolk into Baektang’s mouth,

“Chairman Park, give me some yolk too, meow!”

“Hm? Vice Chairman Theo, you don’t usually eat this, right?”

“That’s not true, meow! I want to eat it now, meow!”

Overwhelmed with jealousy, Theo began eating the yolk just to draw Sejun’s attention back to him.

After the meal ended, Sejun headed to the brewery. Because the alcohol was almost gone.

“I’ll just brew a little this afternoon and rest.”

Being exposed to the energy of Destruction in the Land of Destruction had taken a hidden toll on his body, so he felt tired.

However, contrary to his plans, Sejun ended up brewing much more than he expected. As he started moving, his condition improved, and he got excited and worked harder.

“Somehow I ended up working too hard.”

Sejun muttered, half-complaining as he looked at the brewery filled with jars of liquor, but his voice was full of pride.

Once the brewing was done, Sejun left the brewery and headed to the kitchen. It was time to prepare dinner.

And then.

“All right. Let’s see who wins? Start!”

Kuehehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehehe. Dad, victory obviously belongs to Cuengi!]

“Uhehehe. This time I’ll win!”

That evening, Sejun held a food fight competition for Cuengi and Uren.

He wanted to make sure they ate properly, especially after seeing them competitively devour the braised slime short ribs during lunch.

And so, Cuengi and Uren each began eating the mountain-like piles of rice cakes, braised slime short ribs, and chocolate cake in front of them.

Kuehehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehehe. Rice cake is delicious!]

Cuengi started by dipping his favorite rice cake into kudzu honey and digging in.

“Uhehehe. Meat is the best!”

Uren began with the braised slime short ribs.

Meanwhile, Sejun and the rest of the group also enjoyed their dinner happily.

And then

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hehe. Butler! Great Blackie wants to join the food fight too! Give me 100 pieces of Extremely Delicious Royal Honey Sweet Potatoes!]

Blackie boldly declared his entry into the food fight competition.

Hehe. I’ll eat roasted and dried sweet potatoes until I’m stuffed!

His scheme was painfully obvious, but

“Sure.”

Sejun gladly handed over 100 pieces of roasted and dried sweet potato. He knew there was no way Blackie could eat them all anyway.

A short while later.

Chomp. Chomp…

Kkirorong.

Blackie fell asleep after eating four and a half pieces of Extremely Delicious Royal Honey Sweet Potatoes.

Hehehe. Pathetic sunfish.

Pathetic sunfish Sejun looked smugly at the even more pathetic sunfish Blackie.

And then.

“Meow?! Chairman Park’s face looks rotten, meow!”

The loyal cat Park Theo most sensitive to Sejun’s smug expressions, reacted immediately.

“Uh. Hup. Step gently!”

“No can do, meow! I must completely stomp out the rotten energy, meow!”

Sejun became humble once again today after having his face stepped on ruthlessly by Theo.

“Hey! Stepping on my nose is crossing the line! What if my nose bridge gets lower?!”

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park’s nose bridge is already low, meow!!”

“It is not!”

With Sejun and Theo bickering, night deepened on the 99th floor of the Black Tower.
