Solo Farming In The Tower
chapter-205

Realizing that something was interfering with their consciousness, Kaiser attempted to check his mental state through a conversation with Kellion.

However, through the conversation with Kellion, he realized that Kellion’s condition was more serious than his own.

-Hmm… It feels like it’s been about 10 years since I moved the tower…

-So, you mean the White Tower hasn’t moved for over 10 years?!

Kaiser was greatly surprised by Kellion’s answer. Normally, it takes about 10 years for a tower to appear and disappear, so they had neglected the collapse of an entire world.

-Yes. Hearing you say that, I don’t even know why I didn’t do that.”

Kellion spoke with a confused expression in response to Kaiser’s question.

-Kellion, it seems like something is interfering with the consciousness of our dragon race.

Kaiser was certain after Kellion’s answer.

However,

-How dare anyone intervene with the brilliant dragon race’s consciousness?! That’s impossible!

Kellion strongly denied Kaiser’s words. It was an unthinkable event. Dragons were supreme beings. Their mental defenses were so strong that not even gods could easily penetrate them.

And not just one dragon, but the entire dragon race? That would have been impossible even for a creator god.

-Then, Kellion, why didn’t you move the tower for 10 years? Tell me.

-That is…”

Kellion couldn’t answer Kaiser’s question. Like fog, the memories of that part were faint.

-Kellion, first, go and move the tower.

-Understood.

Kellion hurriedly focused on his main body to move the tower.

-Phew. Hopefully, this isn’t the case with all the other dragons.

Kaiser realized the seriousness of the situation through his conversation with Kellion.

As Kaiser worried about the other dragons,

“Grandfather! Help!”

He heard Aileen’s urgent voice.

-What’s the matter with our granddaughter?!

At Aileen’s call, Kaiser hurriedly moved to the administrator area.

And then,

-Why is this in the Black Tower?

After hearing the situation from Aileen, Kaiser was perplexed to see a core continuously spouting fire and burning on the floor. This item wasn’t supposed to be here.

“Grandfather, do you know what this is?”

-This is the essence of fire. But you’re saying Sejun touched this and fainted?!!!

Kaiser spoke as if he couldn’t understand Aileen’s words.

That’s because the essence of fire was an object filled with powerful fire energy that only the red dragons could handle. The moment Sejun touched it, he should have turned to ash. But he just fainted?

It was fortunate that Sejun did not die, but it was a mysterious event.

“Yes. Now Sejun’s body is now full of fire energy, completely like a fireball.”

-I need to see this for myself.

Kaiser checked Sejun’s condition through the crystal orb.

“How is it?”

-For now, relax. The fire energy is gradually decreasing. It seems like Sejun is absorbing the fire energy.

“Really? Phew. That’s a relief.”

Aileen felt relieved at Kaiser’s words after checking Sejun’s condition through the crystal orb.

-But why is the essence of fire on the 44th floor of the tower?

“I don’t know. According to Theo, it came out of the body of a balanidae that was parasitizing on the back of the lake turtle.”

-Hmm. For now, I will keep this essence of fire. Seal.

Gulp.

Kaiser sealed the essence of fire with magic and transmitted it to his main body through the black dragon statue. If the essence of fire kept emitting heat, the surrounding environment would be filled with fire energy, transforming the environment into a desert.

“Khhhh… Hang in there, Sejun!”

Aileen cheered for Sejun, who was absorbing the fire energy through the crystal orb.

***

Inside Sejun’s consciousness.

Munch. Munch.

Sejun was sitting at the dining table, earnestly eating sweet potatoes engulfed in flames. The fire sweet potatoes kept appearing no matter how much he ate, never decreasing.

“Ugh! It’s too hot!”

The sweet potatoes were so hot that Sejun strongly felt like he wanted to stop eating, but each time, he felt strongly that he needed to eat this to survive.

But,

“Uh… I can’t do this anymore…”

Soon, he felt like his stomach was so full it would burst. Moreover, because of eating something hot, it felt like his stomach was on fire.

If only Cuengi were here, he would have eaten all of it… Sejun thought of Cuengi.

But,

‘I can’t eat any more.’

He was not Cuengi.

Thud.

Sejun fell forward, his head hitting the dining table. And the sweet potatoes kept piling up on the table. Soon, the sweet potatoes were stacked like a tower, trying to burn Sejun’s body.

Then,

Swoosh.

“Young farmer of the Black Tower. You still have things to do.”

A woman with a silver silhouette appeared, placing her right hand on Sejun’s back and extending her left towards the sweet potatoes piled on the table.

Then, she absorbed the sweet potatoes, infusing red energy into Sejun’s back.

[A massive fiery energy explosively evolves your fire attribute talent.]

[Talent: Enhanced Fire Mastery evolves into Friend of Fire.]

Simultaneously, the woman drew out the fiery energy that Sejun couldn’t absorb, evolving his fire attribute talent several stages at once, to the highest level he could handle.

But there was still a lot of fiery energy left, and more sweet potatoes kept appearing on the table.

[The power of creation transforms the fiery energy into a job skill appropriate to your attributes.]

[New job skill – Greenhouse Lv. 1 acquired.]

[Using the fiery energy as skill proficiency to increase the proficiency of Greenhouse.]

[Job Skill – Greenhouse Lv. 1 proficiency is full, and the level increases.]

…

..

.

[Job Skill – Greenhouse Lv. 3 proficiency is full, and the level increases.]

The woman used the remaining fiery energy to create the Greenhouse skill and quickly depleted the fiery energy with the skill’s proficiency.

When no more sweet potatoes appeared on the table, she sighed in relief.

“Phew. Fortunately. If it weren’t for those who cherish you, I wouldn’t have had the chance to step in. I look forward to your future exploits, and see you next time, young farmer of the Black Tower.”

Pat. Pat.

The woman patted Sejun’s back and disappeared.

***

“Chairman Park’s body is cooling down, meow!”

Theo, who had been kneading Sejun’s body, shouted to the other animals as Sejun’s body temperature began to drop.

Krueng!

[Big Brother, is Dad really okay?!]

“Puhuhut. Of course, meow! Didn’t I, Vice Chairman Theo, say I would protect Chairman Park, meow?!”

Theo spoke with an arrogant tone.

Then,

[You have overcome countless near-death experiences.]

[Due to the Talent: Sturdy Vitality, your maximum stamina increases to 37.]

“Uhm…”

Sejun struggled to open his eyes.

“Chairman Park!”

Krueng?!

[Dad, are you okay?!]

Theo and Cuengi rubbed their faces against Sejun’s, clinging to him.

“······?”

At first, Sejun was going to ask why they were doing this, but feeling the moisture at the corner of their eyes, he silently hugged them both.

While he was holding them,

[The tower’s administrator asks if you are all right now.]

Aileen, who was anxiously worried about Sejun, asked how he was.

“Yeah… I’m fine now. But why am I like this?”

“Chairman Park passed out after touching the core, meow!”

“Core? Ah…”

At Theo’s words, Sejun remembered the moment he touched the core in the balanidae’s shell, a burning energy entered his body, accompanied by pain and unconsciousness.

“But how am I okay?”

He thought he had died the moment he touched the core. It was confirmed, considering that his Talent: Sturdy Vitality had increased by 20. He had nearly died more than 20 times.

While he was marveling at how he was still alive…

“Puhuhut. Naturally, it’s because I, Vice Chairman Theo, your right-hand man, saved you, meow!”

Theo declared as if it were obvious. So, Chairman Park should cherish me more from now on, meow!

“That’s right. As expected of our Vice Chairman Theo.”

As Sejun stroked the head of Theo, who must have been worried about him,

Krueng!

[Cuengi also brought water to help treat Daddy!]

Cuengi claimed his share of the credit.

“Yes. Thank you, my Cuengi.”

While Sejun was stroking both of them,

[The tower’s administrator says she feels a strong fiery energy from your body.]

“From my body?”

Upon hearing Aileen’s words, Sejun opened the status window to check his condition.

[Park Sejun Lv. 63]

Talents: Mediocre, Friend of Nature, Myriad Landlord, Enhanced Magic Circuit, Friend of Fire, Solidity, Sturdy Vitality

Stats/Potential: Strength (112/128), Stamina (191/220), Agility (80/113), Magic (167/173)

“Huh?!”

The status window had changed. In the talent window, where ‘Enhanced Fire Mastery’ had used to be, there was a new talent called ‘Friend of Fire,’ and in the skill window, he saw a never-before-seen skill called ‘Greenhouse.’ Moreover, it was at a whopping level 3.

“What’s this?”

Sejun decided to check his talents and skills first.

[Talent: Friend of Fire]

→ You have a talent for a high affinity with fire.

→ You can absorb fire attribute energies.

→ When using skills involving fire, you can achieve high efficiency even with a small amount of magic power.

[Job Skill: Greenhouse Lv. 3]

→ You can create a warm, enclosed greenhouse within a 1km radius.

→ Crops inside the greenhouse are not affected by the external cold.

“Is this good?”

The description was somewhat vague. He felt like he would have to use it to know for sure.

And then,

“Now is not the time for this.”

Sejun, holding Theo and Cuengi, stood up from his spot. It was to complete the Mid-level Administrator quest.

At that moment,

[The Tower’s Administrator says she has appraised the leather vest you entrusted to her.]

[The Tower’s Administrator says wearing this will make things a little less dangerous for you in the future.]

“A little less dangerous?”

Sejun looked at the black leather vest in his hands. Thankfully, the leather vest that Theo had brought, which had been tattered, was now transformed into a sleek leather vest with a suede feel.

Sejun checked the vest.

[The Great Hunter Moulton’s Leather Vest]

→ This is a leather vest used by the great hunter Moulton.

→ Made from the leather of a black buffalo, it provides significant defense.

→ The vest has absorbed Moulton’s experiences over the long time he had worn it.

→ It senses murderous intent directed at the wearer from the surroundings.

→ It instinctively helps to more efficiently dodge attacks when ambushed.

→ Usage restriction: Lv. 50 and above, Agility 80 or higher

→ Creator: Leather craftsman Isna

→ Grade: A-

“Wow!”

It was a customized defensive gear for Sejun, who lacked combat experience. It even had the effect of sensing murderous intent and instinctively aiding evasion when ambushed.

“Aileen, Theo, Thank you”

Expressing his gratitude, Sejun put on the leather vest and climbed onto the back of the lake turtle with the animals for the quest that had been delayed because of him. It was to pluck the turtle’s barnacles directly.

As soon as Sejun touched the shell to pluck the barnacles,

[Talent: Friend of Fire absorbs a faint fire energy.]

A red energy was absorbed from the barnacles into Sejun, and the barnacles transformed like they were wilting.

“Huh?!”

Krueng?!

Both Sejun and Cuengi were flustered as their food disappeared.

***

In front of a cave on the 47th floor of the Tower.

“Kyoo-Kyoo-Kyoo- Is this where the boss of the Three Head Society who messed with Sejun’s family is?”

Following Aileen’s instructions, Iona, who had destroyed the Three Head Society’s hideouts, arrived where Mister One was.

“O power of gravity, heed my command and enhance your power! Gravity Control.”

Kwagwang!

Iona had no intention of sparing anyone from the Three Head Society, so she collapsed the hideout, crushing the organization members inside.

And then,

“O power of dimensions. obey my command…”

As Iona was preparing her next spell, waiting for the enemy that would appear soon,

-Who dares to attack me?!

A three-headed snake, the Hydra, burst through the ground and appeared.
