Solo Farming In The Tower

[Black Tower 98th Floor Wasteland Land Deed]

[Black Tower 85th Floor Wasteland Land Deed]

[Black Tower 57th Floor Rocky Mountain Land Deed]

[Black Tower 44th Floor Lake Land Deed]

All the appraised land deeds were from the Black Tower. Four land deeds from the Black Tower?! Sejun was in awe of Theo’s capability.

Then,

Flap. Flap.

– I’ll deliver the land deed to the Black Rabbit for you.

Kellion flew over and said.

“What? It’s fine.”

If he placed the land deed in the Red Ribbon Kingdom’s treasure vault, it could be delivered to the Black Rabbit. So, Sejun declined Kellion’s offer, thinking it might make the Black Rabbit uncomfortable.

However,

– Ahem! I insist on going even if you refuse!

Kellion was insistent. He wanted to do Sejun a favor and, in return, get some soju.

“Alright, but please make sure the Black Rabbit isn’t startled or doesn’t get scared.”

Sejun, while handing over the land deed of the 57th floor of the black tower to Kellion, said, so that the black rabbit could go quickly to ChuChu. As she had been waiting for him.

– Don’t worry. I’ll deliver it quickly and quietly.

Kellion responded and swallowed the land deed.

A minute later,

– I’ve delivered it.

Along with Kellion’s words,

“The Black Rabbit has received the land deed, meow!”

Krueng!

[The land deed suddenly fell from the sky!]

Theo and Cuengi, who were watching the Black Rabbit through the bronze mirror next to Sejun, informed him that the Black Rabbit had received the land deed.

“Thank you.”

– So…

“Here. Thank you so much.”

After confirming through the bronze mirror that the Black Rabbit had opened the land deed and moved to another location, Sejun gratefully handed Kellion ten bottles of soju.

– Why are you giving me… hahaha! If you need anything in the future, just let me know.

Flap. Flap.

Kellion flew away, taking the soju with him.

***

“Really?”

– Yes. If it wasn’t for me, Sejun would’ve been dragged to the Green Tower.

“Thank you, Grandpa. I feel so relieved because you’re here.”

– Khahaha. Your grandpa will always protect Sejun.

After hearing Aileen’s words of gratitude, Kaiser laughed heartily in response. Helping Sejun meant getting alcohol, and getting closer to Aileen – killing two birds with one stone.

While they were talking,

“Eh?! Sejun has asked me to appraise something! Khihihi. Just wait a second, Sejun. Appraise.”

Upon receiving the land deed from Sejun, Aileen began the appraisal. After the appraisal of the first land deed was completed,

“Huh? This one’s from the Blue Tower!”

The land deed that Theo found in the haunted storage was from the Blue Tower.

“Appraise.”

Next, Aileen appraised the last land deed Theo won at the auction.

“Huh? This one’s from the Green Tower.”

– What?! The Green Tower?!

At the mention of the Green Tower, Kaiser exclaimed in surprise,

Woong.

The Green Tower’s land deed unfolded, trying to transport Aileen to the Green Tower. The land deed had Brachio’s magic on it, which caused it to unfold automatically when appraisal magic was used.

“Eek!”

Aileen tried to quickly cancel the magic, but it was too complex for the young Aileen to deactivate.

At that moment,

– It’s okay. Since you’re the tower’s administrator, the tower will protect you.

Kaiser, who had been briefly flustered, regained his composure and spoke calmly.

[The tower’s administrator cannot leave the Black Tower.]

[Forced spatial movement is canceled.]

As Kaiser said, an alert appeared on the crystal orb, and the land deed rolled back up on its own.

– For now, I’ll keep this.

Kaiser took custody of the Green Tower’s land deed.

– Damn! How dare she try to kidnap my granddaughter?!!!

An infuriated Kaiser gritted his teeth, contemplating how to get back at Brachio.

***

[The tower’s administrator says the appraisal is complete.]

“Aileen, thanks. Wait? Why is there only one land deed?”

Seeing only one returned land deed, Sejun asked in confusion.

[The tower’s administrator says that one of them was a dangerous land deed from the Green Tower, so Grandpa decided to keep it.]

“Another one from the Green Tower?”

[The tower’s administrator says she almost got transported to the Green Tower just now.]

“Aileen too?!”

The thought of Aileen also being pulled away… This was infuriating!

[The tower’s administrator advises you to be cautious with land deeds in the future.]

“Okay, got it.”

Sejun decided that he would be cautious with land deeds from now on and thought it would be good to take some action against the Green Tower.

After finishing his conversation with Aileen,

“Vice Chairman Theo, which of these is most attracted to your front paw?”

Sejun asked Theo to help decide which of the remaining three Black Tower land deeds they should go to first after sending one to the Black Rabbit.

However,

“Puhuhut. Puhuhut.”

Theo just kept laughing without answering.

“Do you like it that much?”

“Puhuhut. Of course, meow! Now I am a fully-fledged Vice Chairman, meow!”

Sejun decided to officially appoint Theo, who had accomplished the tremendous feat of fetching six land deeds, as the Vice Chairman instead of a temporary position. That’s why Theo couldn’t stop laughing.

“Puhuhut. Now, I, Theo Park, am a true second-in-command, meow!”

Snap!

Theo raised his left front paw to his waist, stretched his right front paw forward, and made a ‘V’ sign with his claws.

“Yes, yes. So, which one attracts you the most now?”

Sejun, stroking Theo’s head, asked again.

“Hmm, meow! That’s strange, meow!”

Theo, pondering Sejun’s question, placed his front paw on his chin.

“What’s so strange?”

“Last time, my front paw was most drawn to the 44th floor of the tower… but now, it’s the 85th floor that attracts my front paw the most, meow!”

“Is that so?”

Considering Theo’s words, Sejun fell deep into thought. Either something that attracted Theo’s front paw on the 44th floor disappeared, or something new on the 85th floor started attracting Theo.

“Let’s start with the 85th floor first.”

“Then let’s call Elka, meow! Elka is from the 85th floor, meow!”

“That’s right! I should tell Elka to inspect the farm first.”

Hearing what Theo said, Sejun also remembered. So, Sejun sent a white rabbit to Elka with new instructions.

“Okay. Let’s get to work.”

As the urgent matter of bringing the Black Rabbit back to the black tower was resolved, Sejun prepared for sowing seeds to complete his job quest.

As Sejun put on the straw hat and took up Myler’s hoe,

“I understand, meow! I will assist Chairman Park, meow!”

“Really? If you’re helping…”

Slap.

“What are you doing?”

Looking at Theo, who was clinging to his knee to assist him, Sejun asked with a dumbfounded expression.

“Puhuhut. Hanging on Chairman Park’s knee like this is my way of assisting, meow!”

Theo answered confidently to Sejun’s question.

Krueng!

[Cuengi also wants to help Daddy!]

Following Theo, Cuengi also clung onto Sejun’s knee, saying he would help Daddy. If it’s going to be like this, they might as well have not helped.

“Hnngh! Hnngh!”

“Hnngh, meow! Hnngh, meow!”

Kru! eng!

Thanks to Theo and Cuengi, Sejun moved his heavy legs in rhythm and scattered seeds in the field.

“Land Moving.”

[You’ve planted 500 Stamina Corn seeds in magic power-infused soil.]

[Due to the effect of Magic Seed Sowing Lv. 6, the probability of the stamina corn seeds taking root increases.]

[Due to the effect of Magic Seed Sowing Lv. 6, the growth rate of stamina corn seeds accelerates for 24 hours.]

[You have 7214489 times left to complete the job quest.]

The seeds sown today were stamina corn.

“Phew. There’s still a long way to go.”

Seeing the number displayed in the message, Sejun sighed. How much must he labor before he is awarded a great job combat skill?

“Maybe, I will be given something very powerful?”

Sejun kept planting seeds, imagining himself becoming more powerful after acquiring the job combat skill.

After about an hour of planting corn,

[The stamina corn is grateful for the farmer’s footsteps and gains strength.]

[The potential of the stamina stat has increased from 103 to 104.]

A message appeared, indicating the increase in stamina stat potential.

“Hehehe. This feels rewarding.”

While Sejun was happy about the increased potential,

[The size of your farm has exceeded 10 million square meters.]

[Talent: Millennium Landlord has evolved to Myriad Landlord.]

A message indicating the growth of his talent appeared. As he cultivated the land, the size of the farm Sejun had developed had surpassed 10 million square meters.

“Wow! Myriad Landlord!”

Sejun cheered as he read the message. Once, without a single inch of land outside the tower, Sejun had become a landowner with 10 million square meters of land. Parents, rejoice! Your son has become a land mogul within our home.

As Sejun celebrated alone,

“Let’s see what has changed?”

He examined his newly evolved talent: Myriad Landlord.

[Talent: Myriad Landlord]

– This acquired talent is only available to farmers who own over 10 million square meters of farmland.

– You can designate three caretakers to manage the farm on behalf of the Landlord. (Each caretaker can appoint their own 100 tenant farmers and three guards.)

– You can appoint up to 15 guards to protect the farm. (You receive 50% of the experience points from enemies defeated by the guards within 5 km of the Landlord.)

– You can appoint up to 3,000 tenant farmers.

– Tenant farmers can use the Landlord’s farming skills. (When tenant farmers use the Landlord’s skills, the Landlord receives a 7% skill proficiency reward.)

– The talent grows with the size of the farm.

“Wow!”

Sejun exclaimed in amazement at the changes. The number of caretakers, guards, and tenant farmers he could appoint had increased by 2, 5, and 2000, respectively. Especially the number of tenant farmers was tremendous.

Considering the skill proficiency reward from the tenant farmers increased from 5% to 7%, Sejun felt he could accumulate tremendous skill proficiency in the future.

“Hehe.”

He had been in a slump recently, but his spirits lifted with the growth of his talent. He couldn’t just let this day pass by.

“Today, we party!”

“Party, meow?! We need new churus for the party, meow!”

Krueng!

[We need a lot of honey for the party!]

Theo and Cuengi each voiced what they wanted upon hearing Sejun’s declaration.

But then,

Boom!

A massive vibration came from the direction of the cave.

“Could it be? Guys, let’s go!”

Worried about Flamie after thinking the Apostle of Destruction might have invaded through the pond, Sejun quickly ran to the cave with Theo and Cuengi on his legs.

“Phew.”

Arriving at the cave, Sejun was relieved to see Flamie unharmed.

[Deep Sea Giant Crayfish]

A giant crayfish from the pond was in the cave, but for some reason, it was clinging to the wall, looking around. It seemed to be wary, unfamiliar with the place.

“How dare you come here!”

“Meow?”

Krueng?

After getting Theo and Cuengi off his legs, Sejun charged at the crayfish. Thanks to his lighter legs, he felt like he could fly.

“Take this!”

With that momentum, Sejun lunged at the crayfish’s head with his fist. His strength and stamina stats were nearing 99, comparable to the might of the legendary general Lu Bu in the Three Kingdoms. He thought he could easily defeat a creature like this crayfish…

Smack!

“Argh!”

[Your body has taken a fatal hit from a powerful attack.]

[<Power: Indestructible Body> is activated.]

[Magic Power is consumed to protect your body from breaking.]

Huh? Was it not?

While Sejun, taken aback by the crayfish’s giant claw, was trying to understand the unfolding situation contrary to his expectations,

Crash!

Rumble.

Sejun’s body slammed into the cave wall and he ended up covered in a pile of broken rocks

“Chairman Park, are you okay, meow?!”

Krueng?

[Is Daddy okay?]

Theo and Cuengi hurriedly pulled Sejun out of the rubble to check on him.

“Yeah, I’m fine.”

Luckily, Sejun had become strong enough and wasn’t injured. He quickly prepared himself for another attack from the crayfish.

However,

[You have defeated the Deep Sea Giant Crayfish.]

[You cannot gain experience as you haven’t completed your job quest.]

“Huh? It’s dead?”

The crayfish had died in the meantime.

While Sejun was confused, reading the message,

[Master, you were amazing! I saw the crayfish wobble and collapse from your attack!]

Flamie praised Sejun.

“Hehehe. Really?”

Sejun looked at his fist and chuckled with pride. I must be quite strong.

As Cuengi was moving the defeated giant crayfish out of the cave,

Clang.

Two green coins and three gray coins fell from the crayfish’s claw.

“Huh? Why would it have coins?”

Confused, Sejun picked up the coins with a puzzled look and quickly headed to the cooking area. It would take a long time to properly grill a giant crayfish.

And left alone was Flamie.

[Whew, that was close.]

Seeing the crayfish, which she deliberately left with a sliver of health, muster its last strength to strike Sejun was an unexpected situation, left Flamie startled.
