Solo Farming In The Tower
chapter-284

Tower 44th Floor.

“Is that really true, Peng?!”

“Yes. We are preparing an event for Sejun.”

The moment the Blue-Backed Penguins found out that Han Tae-jun and Kim Dong-sik were preparing an event for Sejun,

“We want to help too, Peng!”

“Let us help too, Peng!”

The Blue-Backed Penguins desperately wanted to assist them. If the event for Sejun was ruined because of them… We’re dead, Peng!

Thus, the Blue-Backed Penguin Tribe hurriedly asked for help from the animals around them.

And, just in time, the Silver Wolf Tribe, who were on their way to deliver Sturdy Blade Green Onions and Detoxifying Green Onions to the Earth Defense Force hunters on the 41st floor of the tower, received the message and rushed over.

“Tara. We will take you to the waypoint.”

Crouch.

At the words of Elka, the chieftain of the Silver Wolf Tribe, two Silver Wolves laid down in front of Han Tae-jun and Kim Dong-sik.

“Really?!”

“Because it’s for Sejun.”

“Yes. This is just for this one time.”

Han Tae-jun was surprised by the Silver Wolves’ response. They were solitary wolves. Even though he had met and become quite friendly with them, the Silver Wolves had never offered them a ride before.

In fact, a hunter who tried to secretly ride on a Silver Wolf almost had his arm cut off due to the Silver Wolf’s anger.

Once again, he was astonished by Sejun’s immense influence, as the Silver Wolves readily offered their backs for Sejun’s sake.

Thus, with the help of the Silver Wolves, Han Tae-jun and Kim Dong-sik arrived at the waypoint and left for the 1st floor of the tower.

“Tell the other monsters quickly that there is an event for Sejun in 4 days!”

“Yes!”

Following Elka’s orders, the news about Sejun’s event began to spread widely.

“Puhuhut. I’ll help, meow! Leave it to me, meow!”

When Piyot was about to take out a contract from his bundle,

Chirp!

[Pirururur Yotra, we respect you!]

Kyaa!

[Great senior, you’re amazing!]

Coo!

[Sorry we didn’t recognize you!]

The birds started to look at Piyot with eyes of respect as they calmed the fire.

Piyo!

[Theo, you’re really amazing!]

Piyot looked at Theo with admiring eyes, thinking that Theo had subdued the birds with his gaze. As expected of Theo!

But,

“Meow?”

Theo hadn’t done anything yet.

“Puhuhut. That’s right, meow! I, Vice Chairman Theo, am amazing, meow!”

Although momentarily taken aback by Piyot’s flattery, he ultimately attributed everything to his own merit. It’s all thanks to me, meow!

Piyo! Piyo!

[That’s right! Theo~nim, you’re amazing!]

Thus, Piyot, thinking the birds respected him because of Theo, and Theo, naturally thinking everything was solved because of him.

However,

‘Amazing! To climb onto the foot of the Mother Tree’s owner!’

‘I want to climb like Pirururur Yotra too!’

‘I’m envious!’

The birds admired Piyot because he was on the foot of Sejun, the owner of the Mother Tree that gave birth to them.

Unaware of this, Piyot positioned himself as close to Theo as possible on Sejun’s right foot,

‘Puhuhut. Yes, guys, I’m Theo~nim’s next right front paw!’

Piyot enjoyed the looks of admiration from the birds.

And then,

Piyo! Piyo!

[Follow me! I’ll lead you home!]

When the birds were all born, Piyot led about 100 birds to Aebro, the capital of Kov.

As the birds followed Piyot and left,

[A new Mother Tree has conceived and hatched birds.]

[You have completed the Mid-level Administrator quest in a different manner.]

[The reward is enhanced to double for the excellent result.]

[You have acquired 2 million experience points as a quest completion reward.]

[You have acquired 1 million Tower Coins as a quest completion reward.]

A message appeared in front of Sejun, indicating the completion of the Mid-level Administrator quest.

“Guys, let’s start preparing to head back.”

Sejun was preparing to leave since all the quests were completed.

“Let’s go, Flamie.”

When Sejun was carefully extracting Flamie, who was buried in the ground,

“No, meow! We have to follow Piyot there, meow!”

Theo opposed Sejun’s words, pointing proudly with his front paw towards Aebro, the capital of Kov. Puhuhut. I’m supposed to receive something from Loui, meow!

It was time for rewards.

***

Black Tower Administrator Area.

“It’s done!!!”

Aileen cheered in triumph, having finally finished engraving magic on the heart fragment of Kai-Ra.

“Keeheehee. It finished sooner than I thought.”

Aileen, motivated by Sejun’s overachievement, increased her work pace. Thanks to that, she finished the job about half a day earlier than planned.

The last step was to activate the magic, but that process wasn’t particularly difficult, just time-consuming.

Yum. Yum.

While Aileen was eating an Elixir: Cherry Tomato imbued with powerful magic power to recover her magic for the activation,

Hum.

The crystal ball that informed about the Black Tower’s situation vibrated.

Yum.

“What is it?”

As Aileen checked the notification while eating the Elixir: Cherry Tomato,

[The Mid-level Administrator has completed the quest with excellent results.]

[Contribution points are doubled.]

[You have acquired 20 million contribution points.]

A message appeared.

“Keeheehee. Did our Sejun do something again?! How many contribution points do we have?”

Aileen started to look through the powers she could give Sejun with the accumulated contribution points.

The powers Aileen was looking at were special powers. These special powers could only be bought with contribution points and couldn’t be shown to Sejun.

<Power: Banishment>

→ Banishes the target from the tower.

“This one won’t work if the opponent is strong, it consumes too much magic power.”

Misuse could lead to Sejun’s death from magic power depletion.

“Then this one…”

Aileen examined the next power.

<Power: Lord of the Floor>

→ Appoints the target as the lord of that floor.

“This is… ambiguous.”

It was safe but useless. You could just overpower the boss and appoint a new one with strength.

“Next is…”

<Power: Unending Magic Power>

→ Forcibly implants a mana stream in the body so the magic power never dries up.

“Sigh. I think Sejun’s body can’t handle this.”

The word ‘forcibly’ looked very dangerous. Implanting a mana stream could result in being swept away by the mana stream, leading to dissipation without a form.

As Aileen was looking through the powers,

“Oh! This is good!”

Aileen found a power that perfectly suited her tastes.

<Power: Extra Life>

→ Stores 10% of your life force into a Life Orb every day.

→ Once the Life Orb is full, you gain an extra life.

→ You can create up to 3 Life Orbs.

A power that stores life force like a battery.

“Huh? How did I miss this until now?”

Aileen tilted her head, having enjoyed power shopping for Sejun during her spare time.

It was unlikely for her, the great Black Dragon, to forget something she had seen once. It felt suddenly new.

“Who cares? It’s helpful for Sejun. Keeheehee. Sejun, receive the power!”

Using the contribution points, Aileen gifted Sejun with <Power: Extra Life>.

***

Kueng!

[We’re departing now!]

Giant Cuengi, enlarged to 10 meters, spoke while floating in the air in a Superman pose.

And on Cuengi’s back were Sejun, Theo, and Flamie.

The Golden Bat had disappeared somewhere again, but it was probably following them well.

As Sejun and the animals were flying towards the Rainbow Castle, the capital of the Kov Kingdom,

[The Tower’s Administrator grants <Power: Extra Life> to the Mid-level Administrator’s mark.]

[You have acquired 1 extra life.]

The power Aileen painstakingly chose was granted to the Black Dragon tattoo on Sejun’s right hand.

Getting one extra life was the basic option given upon acquiring the power for the first time.

“Huh? Extra life?”

Sejun hurriedly examined the power.

“Store 10% of life force in a Life Orb, and when it’s full, gain an extra life?”

According to this explanation, it meant gaining an extra life. It was an incredible power.

Then,

“Puhuhut. Cuengi, increase the speed, meow!”

Excited at the thought of quickly giving Sejun the item he found with his front paw and receiving praise, Theo urged Cuengi.

Kueng!

[Understood!]

Cuengi began to accelerate by increasing the output of his telekinesis.

Boom!

Cuengi broke the sound barrier in no time and flew.

“Ugh!”

Sejun quickly closed his mouth to avoid the sharp wind entering.

Kwaang!

In the meantime, Cuengi broke the speed of sound,

Kwaaang!

And reached hypersonic speed,

Kueng!

[We’ve arrived!]

Cuengi arrived at Rainbow Castle.

And,

[<Power: Indestructible Body> is activated.]

[Consumes magic power to protect the body from being destroyed.]

[You are critically low on magic power.]

[Dragon Race Skill – Dragon Scales is activated.]

[The scale of the great Black Dragon Kaiser is destroyed.]

[You have consumed 1 extra life.]

Experiencing hypersonic speed with his bare body, one of Kaiser’s scales and one extra life were consumed to save Sejun and disappeared without a trace.

“My life…”

As Sejun lamented the loss of his extra life and was re-inscribing the Black Dragon tattoo on his left arm,

“Chairman Park, it’s this way, meow!”

Theo grabbed the hem of Sejun’s clothes and hurried him.

“Got it.”

Thus, Sejun and the animals freely roamed around Rainbow Castle, following Theo.

The birds inside Rainbow Castle were all away for the funeral of the Mother Tree, so the castle was empty.

Then,

“Hurry up! We don’t have time!”

A loud voice was heard from afar.

“What, meow?!”

When the sound came from the direction they were heading,

‘Those jerks! That’s mine, meow!’

Worried that the item he intended to give Sejun might be taken, Theo hurriedly ran towards it!

“Vice Chairman Theo, let’s go together.”

Sejun followed Theo.

***

“Hurry up! Pack it quickly!”

An ostrich shouted towards a group of giant grey mice about 1 meter in size inside the treasure warehouse of the Kov Kingdom.

The giant mice were of a species known as Giant Grey Mice, and the entire species operated under the name of the Underworld Mercenary Group, taking on illegal requests to earn money.

And the ostrich commanding them was Venus, the priestess of the tree and the client of the Underworld Mercenary Group.

“To think the Mantis Queen would die so easily…”

Venus, the priestess of the tree who harbored hatred towards the Mother Tree for not granting her the ability to fly like it did to others.

Thus, Venus had made a pact with the Mantis Queen and helped her steal the power of the Mother Tree.

The agreement was for Venus to possess the wealth of the Kov Kingdom, but everything went awry with the death of the Mantis Queen.

‘There’s no time. Soon the funeral will end, and while clearing the Mother Tree’s dust, the secret passage connected to my room will be discovered.’

The opportunity was only today, while all the birds were away for the Mother Tree’s funeral.

Thus, Venus hurriedly called the Underworld Mercenary Group, made a deal, and was robbing the treasure warehouse.

However,

“Stop right there, meow!”

There was already a being who had claimed that treasure as their own.

“Haak! Haak!”

It’s all mine, meow! I’m going to give it to Chairman Park, meow! Theo threatened the mice moving the treasure with his hissing.

Squeak! Squeak!

At Theo’s hissing, the mice hurriedly called their comrades.

Rustle, rustle, rustle.

Over a thousand mice ran out of the treasure warehouse, emitting a foul odor.

A cat in front of mice.

But the story changes when the number of mice exceeds a thousand.

Squeak! Squeak!

The mice, trusting in their numbers, boldly approached Theo.

And then,

“Puhuhut. Dare to mess with me, Golden Cat Theo Park, meow?”

Swish.

When Theo was about to swiftly wield his dragon claws at the mice,

Squeak!

Flutter.

The mice, waving what would have been a white flag if it weren’t so filthy, surrendered. The situation is very different If the adversary happens to be the golden cat.
