Solo Farming In The Tower
chapter-300

Black Tower Administrator Area.

The moment Sejun achieved the great feat of feeding 1 million people to their fill,

“Kehihihi. It’s complete!”

Aileen was checking the heart fragment of Kai-ra with a proud smile, as the magic activation was completed.

Then,

Wooong, wooong.

The crystal orb vibrated.

“Kehing? What’s this?”

Aileen checked the crystal orb.

[Black Tower Farmer Park Sejun has achieved the great feat of feeding 1 million people to their fill.]

[One of the three great achievements for the growth of the Black Tower has been fulfilled.]

“Kehihihi. Sejun has done something amazing again!”

Aileen was happy when she read the alarm about Sejun’s great achievement,

[As a reward for helping with the great achievement, your heart will be strengthened.]

Aileen, who helped with Sejun’s great achievement, also received a reward.

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

Thanks to this, Aileen’s heart began to beat more powerfully than before,

Goooo.

And an aura containing even denser magic power spread around her.

However,

“Keng?! This shouldn’t happen…”

Aileen wasn’t happy about the reward but was troubled instead.

Her plans to give a gift to Sejun would be hindered as her magic power became stronger.

“Kehing! This will interfere with my plan to give a gift to Sejun…”

Aileen was deeply troubled.

“Minotaur King! Pink-fur! Chase all of them away! They’ve ruined my plan!”

Aileen vented her frustration on the 1 million slaves who had helped (?) Sejun achieve his great feat.

As seen from the reward, the greatest contribution was made by Aileen, who had created the black pot for Sejun.

The 1 million slaves, who had been eating and sleeping well, were driven out from the 99th floor of the tower at dawn, clueless about the reason.

“Sejun~nim, hello! We’ve also arrived, peng!”

The Blue-Backed Penguins, who had come with wolves carrying kimchi and side dishes without spoiling them by regulating the temperature, also greeted Sejun.

“Ah, welcome. But, did you bring that from outside the tower?”

Sejun asked Elka, looking at the plastic containers carried on the wolves’ backs.

Since there was no plastic in the tower, it was 100% a product brought from Earth.

“Yes! Humans named Han Tae-jun and Kim Dong-sik asked us to deliver it to Sejun~nim, saying it’s been a year since Sejun~nim entered the tower.”

“Tae-jun and Dong-sik? What is it?”

Sejun asked with anticipation in his voice upon Elka’s confirmation that it was indeed from Earth.

“It’s kimchi and side dishes made by Sejun~nim’s mother.”

“What?! My mom made it?!”

Excited by Elka’s words, Sejun grabbed a kimchi container and opened it,

Click. Click. Click. Click.

Then,

“Wow!”

The deliciously cooked kimchi revealed itself in front of Sejun, accompanied by a drool-inducing aroma.

Sejun cut the kimchi into appropriate sizes with his dagger and put it in his mouth.

Crunch. Crunch.

…!

Upon tasting it, he immediately knew. Yes! It’s our home-made kimchi!!!

Crunch. Crunch.

Nostalgic for the taste, Sejun continued to cut, eat, and eat some more.

As he indulged in the taste of the kimchi, a quarter of the kimchi in the container quickly disappeared.

“Guys, put it in the void storage for now.”

Sejun decided to store the kimchi and side dishes in the void storage to prevent them from spoiling.

Clang.

As Sejun opened the void storage,

“Yes!”

“Understood, peng!”

The wolves and penguins began to neatly stack the kimchi and side dish containers.

While the animals were filling up the void storage,

“Hehehe. Have they woken up?”

Sejun went to the place where the 1 million slaves stayed, intending to feed them and increase their stats.

Of course, unlike yesterday, he planned to only feed them rice porridge. As long as they were fed to their full, their stats would increase.

But,

“Huh?!”

There was no one there.

“Huh? Where did everyone go?”

Sejun, unaware that Aileen had driven them all away, was puzzled.

Peep!

Piyi!

Ppya!

Ppyang!

Dozens of rabbit families ran towards Sejun.

They had arrived just in time for the party date Theo had told them about.

Thanks to this, the thought of increasing stats that had filled Sejun’s mind until just moments ago disappeared,

“Guys, welcome!”

Only the happiness of seeing the rabbits remained.

As Sejun was happily greeting the rabbits,

Click.

Peep!

[Sejun~nim, thank you for inviting us to the 1 year survival anniversary party!]

Peei!

[Thank you!]

Mother and Father rabbit couple expressed their gratitude on behalf of everyone for the party invitation.

‘You’ve worked hard.’

There was a special emotion in their eyes as they looked at Sejun.

‘Thank you. It’s all thanks to you guys.’

The look in Sejun’s eyes as he gazed at them was no different. It had to be.

The rabbit couple Sejun first met when he was living alone and lonely in the tower.

The moment he made fire with a plastic water bottle.

The moment he made grilled fish and consumed protein for the first time.

The moment Sejun first awakened.

The moment he harvested the first cherry tomatoes he had grown from seeds.

There was the rabbit couple, who always joyously celebrated as if it were their own achievement during those first monumental moments Sejun experienced in the cave.

‘Sejun~nim…’

‘Guys…’

When their eyes began to moisten,

Click.

Peep!

[This is a gift for Sejun~nim’s survival 1 year survival anniversary!]

The mother rabbit pulled out a red peach, as big as her own head, from her apron and handed it to Sejun.

“Thank you.”

Grab.

Sejun carefully took the peach handed over by the mother rabbit and examined it.

[Longevity Peach]

→ This peach, which grows on a peach tree in the tower, bears fruit at extremely low odds.

→ Consuming it increases your lifespan by 1000 years.

→ The seed will not grow if planted.

→ Usage Restriction: Lv. 50 or above, all stats 100 or above

→ Expiration Date: 100 days

→ Grade: SSS

“A lifespan of 1000 years?!”

Sejun was greatly surprised by the option of the Longevity Peach. A thousand years of longevity?!

Gulp.

Sejun swallowed his saliva without realizing it, suddenly feeling greedy.

But,

‘Ugh…’

He felt uncomfortable at the thought of consuming such a valuable item alone.

‘I should just share it.’

Sejun decided to share the Longevity Peach with others.

“Guys, let’s go.”

Thinking about how to share the Longevity Peach, Sejun headed home with the rabbits.

Purple Tower Administrator Area.

“It’s done. With this, I should be the best, right?”

Tier Peten, who had upgraded the performance of the existing purple dragon statue, said with a satisfied expression.

He didn’t want to lose to the other dragons, so he enhanced the dragon statue’s performance.

“I’ll personally speak with Becca and expose their misdeeds!”

With a determined expression, Tier took the upgraded purple dragon statue and flew back to the Black Tower.

Meanwhile, as Tier was flying back to the Black Tower,

“Here! Cheers!”

Gulp.

“Kuh. This is good!”

The dragons were drinking Samyangju while waiting for Tier.

Then,

“I’ve brought the dragon statue! Now let me speak with Veronica!”

Tier arrived and asked to be let into the Black Tower.

But,

“You can’t enter in that state.”

Kaiser flatly refused.

“What?! Didn’t your granddaughter say it would be enough if I brought the dragon statue?! Are you deceiving me now?!”

Tier was furious at Kaiser’s refusal.

However, there was a reason Kaiser refused.

“How can I let in a dragon statue that’s oozing of poison like that?!”

It was because of the strong poison emanating from the purple dragon statue.

To the beings living in the tower, the poison was too deadly.

Especially to the weaker Sejun, it was even more lethal.

“Right. If it enters in that state, it’ll kill everyone in the tower.”

“Let’s detoxify it first.”

Kellion and Ramter supported Kaiser’s suggestion.

“But… isn’t that Samyangju?! Where did it come from?”

Gulp.

Tier swallowed his saliva, enticed by the fragrant aroma of Samyangju reaching his nose, and asked.

“Want some? I’ll let you have it if we add just one line to the contract.”

Kaiser said, pulling out about 10 bottles of Samyangju, offering them to Tier.

“Hmph! What do you want to add?”

Tier asked with a voice full of wariness, as if he wouldn’t be fooled.

“Nothing much. Just add a clause in the contract that you won’t buy anything from the Black Tower.”

Kaiser answered nonchalantly, but he was tense inside.

It was a method the three dragons had thought of to prevent Tier from becoming a competitor.

However, there was no need for tension.

“What?! Me, buy something from the Black Tower?! You think I would buy something?! I just need to take Veronica back to the Purple Tower!”

Tier, offended by Kaiser’s words, retorted sharply.

“Right. So let’s just add that to the contract. In exchange, I’ll give you the 10 bottles of Samyangju.”

Kaiser placated the excited Tier.

“Hmph! Fine. Write it down now.”

Tier quickly agreed to Kaiser’s suggestion and wrote the contract,

-I, Tier Peten, enter into this contract.

He completed the contract stating his name.

“Now, let’s drink while we detoxify the dragon statue’s poison.”

“Let’s drink!”

“Here! Fill Tier’s glass.”

“Hmph! Shall we?”

Thus, the dragons began to drink.

“Ah, that’s good.”

Tier enjoyed the aftertaste of the Samyangju and then exclaimed.

Then,

“Ehehehe. Tier, this Samyangju is made by Sejun, the Black Tower’s farmer.”

Kellion revealed the truth to Tier, who could no longer buy Samyangju due to the contract.

“What?! This was made in the Black Tower?!”

“Kahaha. Yes. Our Sejun made the Samyangju.”

Kaiser said proudly, seeing Tier’s astonished expression.

“This delicious Samyangju was made by the farmer of your tower…?”

Tier was dumbfounded by the shocking revelation.

‘What?! What kind of contract did I sign?!’

Tier finally realized he had made a mistake with the contract.

***

Inside the Black Tower’s 99th-floor cave.

Bubble, bubble.

The kimchi stew began to boil vigorously inside the black pot.

Recalling the memories of eating in the cave in the past, Sejun was cooking in the cave with the rabbits he had brought along.

Soon, the smell of kimchi stew filled the cave.

“Wow. This smell is killer.”

Sejun was excited by the aroma of the kimchi stew.

Kueng!

Peep!

Piyi!

Ppyae!

Ppyang!

Ook!

Behind Sejun were Cuengi and the rabbits, holding spoons and drooling in anticipation of the finished dish.

Kueng!

[Finally, Cuengi gets to eat Grandma’s kimchi stew!]

Especially Cuengi, who had heard several times from Sejun how delicious the kimchi stew was, was filled with anticipation.

A little later,

“It’s done!”

Sejun placed the rice porridge in front of the animals along with the kimchi stew,

Click. Click.

He opened the lid of the side dish container sent from home, containing stir-fried anchovies, and placed one in the middle.

He served the dishes in front of the animals, one by one.

And then,

“Let’s eat.”

Following Sejun’s words, the animals began their meal.

Kueng!

[Delicious! Grandma is the best!]

Peep!

[It soothes the stomach!]

Ppyang!

[It’s tasty!]

The animals enjoyed their meal, taking turns between bites of kimchi stew and rice porridge.

“They’re eating well.”

Seeing the animals enjoying their meal, Sejun scooped up some kimchi stew broth with his spoon and slurped it.

“Ah, refreshing.”

Although it wasn’t rich like a broth made from meat, the broth was clear and clean, having been made with fish bones.

“I should have some rice too.”

Sejun quickly took a mouthful of the rice porridge and then scooped another spoonful of kimchi stew into his mouth.

And then,

“When did we finish it all?”

Sejun suddenly noticed the empty pot and side dish containers.

He couldn’t remember when they had finished eating.

As the meal came to an end,

[You have fed 57 beings to their fill.]

[Due to the effect of the title: Saint of Feeding, all stats permanently increase by 5.7.]

A message appeared in front of Sejun.

“Huh? Why 5.7?”

Sejun wondered about the number 5.7.

Because there were more animals that had eaten to their fill in the cave right now.

“5.7… Could it be?”

Sejun checked the number of rabbits.

“There are 57.”

The number excluded the animals that had eaten to their fill yesterday and experienced a stat increase.

Thanks to this, Sejun realized that the effect of <Title: Saint of Feeding> only activated once.

“That’s a shame.”

As Sejun was feeling disappointed,

[The Tower’s Administrator says there’s something for you and asks you to come out to the waypoint alone.]

Aileen called Sejun out to the waypoint.
