Solo Farming In The Tower
chapter-377

“Meow meow meow.”

Piyo! Piyo!

Kkuik! Kkuik!

Humming a tune, Theo, Piyot, and Uren cheerfully walked through the merchant’s passage. They were on their way to the 99th floor of the tower.

Originally, before meeting Iona, they were planning to find a pickpocket named Kiba, who was seventh on the blacklist.

However,

“I want to see Chairman Park, meow!”

With one word from leader Theo, their destination changed.

Thanks to this, they encountered Jǫrmungandr fragments twice and robbers eight times, resulting in the obtaining 5 white coins and 150 slaves.

The synergy between lucky Theo and unlucky Uren was incredible.

At that moment,

Piyo!

[Theo-nim, it’s a fork in the road!]

A fork in the road appeared before them.

“Puhuhut. Uren, you lead the way, meow!”

Theo positioned slave-attracting bait Uren at the front.

“Yes! Should I prepare money too?”

“Puhuhut. Of course, meow!”

And so, the three of them were devoured by a Jǫrmungandr fragment.

A moment later,

Theo emerged, having obtained 3 white coins and 20 slaves.

“Puhuhut.”

Theo’s journey was never boring.

“Black Rabbit, trust me!”

Sejun shouted confidently. He had the strong lower body radish on his side.

But,

Ppyak!

[Uncle, even with the strong lower body radish, it’s tough…]

Black Rabbit, who had already tried the strong lower body radish, spoke in a dejected voice.

Well… the strong lower body radish was already well-known among the rabbits, so Black Rabbit must have used it too.

Above all, there was no way Father Rabbit wouldn’t have recommended it to the Black Rabbit, who inherited his genes.

“Is that so? Still… still, don’t worry!”

Sejun was slightly flustered but spoke confidently again.

It might be difficult alone…

But he would show the power of collective intelligence!

If Korea has Naver web, then he has Slaveweb.

“Slaves, send me foods that are good for the lower body!”

And so, after Sejun requested help from the collective intelligence and was comforting the Black Rabbit as they arrived at the farm,

[The slave of the Blue Tower sends 10 bottles of wriggling eel extract, saying it’s good for the lower body.]

Whoosh.

With the message, a pillar of light descended before Sejun, revealing 10 small glass bottles.

[Wriggling Eel Extract]

→ Extract made from 1000 vigorously wriggling steel eels.

→ Upon consumption, it activates lower body muscles and enhances reproductive abilities.

→ The taste is extremely fishy.

→ Creator: Zelga, Blue Tower Farmer

→ Shelf life: 100 years

→ Grade: B

“Hmm…”

The fishy taste of 1000 eels…

“Black Rabbit, want to try this? Hup.”

Sejun held his breath,

Pop.

Opened the lid and held it out to the Black Rabbit.

Then,

Ppyak! Ppyak?!!

[Ack! What’s this?!!]

Black Rabbit screamed, covering his nose. It seemed too difficult to consume it as it was.

He would have to make Theo, who liked fishy things, try it later…

As Sejun hurriedly closed the glass bottle and put the eel extract in the void storage,

[The slave of the Purple Tower sends 1 kg of the deadly chinese bushclover, saying it has side effects but is immediately effective for lower body strengthening.]

With the message, a pillar of light descended, revealing a purple herb.

“Deadly Chinese Bushclover?”

The name itself sounded dangerous.

Sejun checked the options of the purple herb.

[Deadly Chinese Bushclover]

→ A poisonous herb grown inside the Purple Tower, it has absorbed enough poison and its toxicity is at its peak.

→ Upon consumption, it causes poisoning and activates lower body muscles strongly for 10 minutes, greatly enhancing reproductive abilities, but results in immediate death afterwards.

→ It has a very bitter taste.

→ Shelf life: 70 days

→ Grade: C+

“Is there anyone I need to kill…”

It seemed that Veronica held some resentment towards me.

[The slave of the Purple Tower says that they sent what came to mind and asks not to misunderstand.]

Veronica, feeling a bit guilty, hurriedly sent a message.

“For now, I need to hide this.”

Sejun moved everything to the Void Storage, leaving not a single leaf behind to prevent others from eating it.

[The slave of the Green Tower asked their subordinates, and they say dragon claws are good for the lower body, sending five pieces they had cut off.]

Next, Ophelia sent her own claws.

However, there was no way those claws would have such an effect. It was a baseless rumor.

“Wow. These claws are as big as my face. Hehehe. I should make a sickle or a hoe out of these later.”

Sejun said, holding Ophelia’s claw to his face. Thanks to her, he had sturdy materials to make farm tools.

As Sejun put Ophelia’s claws into the Void Storage,

[The slave of the White Tower asked their grandfather about good food for the lower body but was scolded, saying hatchlings don’t need to know and the slave is now crying.]

Ajax’s message appeared.

“Sorry about that.”

I’ll make you something delicious later.

[The slave of the White Tower smiles, saying they want to eat pancakes.]

Sure. But if you laugh after crying… No, never mind.

Sejun wanted to tease, but he held back, not wanting to make Ajax cry again after just stopping.

After comforting Ajax,

“Hmm. There’s nothing good.”

Sejun was deep in thought. There was no word from Orik, and none of the things sent by other slaves were useful.

He needed to send Black Rabbit back quickly…

“For now, I should try making some nourishing food with what I’ve got.”

Wriggling Eel Extract.

Deadly Chinese Bushclover.

If he removed the poison from the Chinese Bushclover with Detoxifying Green Onion, and used garlic and Samyangju to mask the fishy taste of the eel extract, that would solve the poison and fishy smell.

Adding Cheongyang chili pepper and bean sprouts for a spicy and refreshing taste to counter the greasiness of the eel…

If he also added the strong lower body radish and octopus to enhance the nourishing effect…

“It’s perfect.”

Sejun, who ran a cooking simulation in his head, confidently headed to the cooking area.

At that moment,

Kkieek!

Sejun saw mushroom ants bustling around Leah Road.

‘It wouldn’t hurt to add a few shiitake mushrooms.’

Sejun added shiitake mushrooms to his bean sprout eel radish soup recipe.

“Hey guys, can I have some shiitake mushrooms?”

When Sejun approached the mushroom ants and spoke to them,

Kkieek!

The mushroom ants called out to their comrades,

Kkieek!

Kkieek!

5 mushroom ants approached with a dignified walk as if saying they have the elixirs!

[Elixir: Shiitake mushrooms have been harvested.]

…

..

.

Thanks to this, Sejun harvested five elixir-shiitake mushrooms from the backs of the lined-up mushroom ants.

“Thank you, guys.”

Sejun expressed his gratitude to the mushroom ants, took the harvested shiitake mushrooms, and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

***

4th Floor of the Black Tower.

“Now, Flesh Eaters. Eat to your heart’s content.”

Michael, leading the mutated cherry tomatoes from the 2nd and 3rd floors of the tower, spoke.

Mutated by the power of destruction, the cherry tomatoes had acquired the menacing name ‘Flesh Eater’.

Kkeeekk!

At Michael’s command, as the Flesh Eaters slowly moved forward, waves of red and green undulated.

The number was enormous as Michael brought all the cherry tomatoes from the experience farm.

Squirm. Squirm.

They picked up anything that could be eaten, whether monster or hunter, with their stems and put it into their mouths.

As the Flesh Eaters devoured their prey, red mist gathered around Michael’s body.

“Kukuku. I feel overflowing with power.”

Michael laughed in satisfaction, feeling an exhilaration he had never experienced before.

At that moment,

– To be satisfied with this level of power, you are still far from fighting dragons. Create more Flesh Eaters and increase your power.

“Kukuku. Understood.”

As Michael agreed with the whisper’s suggestion and infused the ground with the power of destruction,

Crack.

Crack.

Flesh Eaters began to sprout. Although they were still young, in just a few days, they would grow into adults and start their activities.

Thus, the 4th floor of the tower began to be cleared by Michael.

However,

“Protect Sejun-nim’s farm!”

When the Dragon Warriors guarding Sejun’s grape farm encountered the Flesh Eaters, Michael lost all his forces in an instant.

The power of the Flesh Eaters was effective only up the 4th floor level; it didn’t work against the Dragon Warriors.

Moreover, the numerical advantage of the Flesh Eaters couldn’t compare to the number of Black Skeletons.

“Damn it!”

Faced with a threat to his life, Michael fled to Earth without a moment’s hesitation.

And that greatly helped Halphas.

Outskirts of Destruction.

Halphas, unable to send Locusts to Earth no matter how hard he tried, sent a giant leech to Earth.

“As expected, the leeches are not efficient.”

Halphas spoke in a bored voice, looking at the Earth that had turned a little redder than before.

Since he had interfered, he planned to watch until Earth was completely destroyed, even if it took time.

At that moment,

“Huh?! Flesh Eater?”

The 8th calamity was born.

And its location was between the Locusts and the giant leeches. In other words, it meant that they could be sent to Earth right now.

“Kukuku. A new calamity! 8th Calamity, go and show your power.”

Halphas sent the Flesh Eaters to Earth.

***

“Alright. Done.”

[You have achieved the feat of creating the first Strong Lower Body Wriggling Eel Radish Soup in the tower.]

[The recipe for Strong Lower Body Wriggling Eel Radish Soup has been registered at Cooking Lv. 9.]

[Your proficiency in Cooking Lv. 9 slightly increases.]

With Sejun’s shout, the dish was completed.

“Here. Black Rabbit, come and try this.”

Since he made only one serving due to the limited eel extract, Sejun hurriedly called Black Rabbit. He needed him to eat it before anyone else did.

Ppyak!

[Okay!]

Black Rabbit hurried over at Sejun’s call.

And then,

Slurp.

He quickly ate the nourishing dish Sejun had made.

“How is it?”

Sejun asked in an expectant voice.

But,

Ppyak… Ppyak…

[I do feel stronger, but… it seems a bit weak…]

Black Rabbit shook his head. It seemed that better ingredients were still needed.

“Now, it’s all up to Orik.”

Orik, show the power of collective intelligence!

As Sejun awaited Orik’s message with his last hope,

[The slave of the Brown Tower sends 5 bottles of Goblin Lower Body Strengthening Elixir with a lewd smile, saying he didn’t know you liked such things.]

Just in time, along with Orik’s message, five glass bottles containing red liquid appeared.

No way! Damn it, I’m innocent!

Sejun shouted loudly in response to Orik’s misunderstanding,

[The slave of the Brown Tower says with a lewd smile that he knows everything, and that he went through a lot of trouble to get it specially from the Goblin Elder, so please acknowledge his efforts.]

Orik’s misunderstanding was too deep.

“What do you know…”

Sejun said in a frustrated voice as he checked the glass bottles.

[Goblin Lower Body Strengthening Elixir]

→ A medicine made by blending things good for the lower body according to a secret recipe passed down by the Red Goblin Tribe.

→ Upon consumption, it activates lower body muscles strongly for 3 hours, greatly enhancing reproductive abilities, but it cannot be stopped in the middle. (You might die if you don’t have enough stamina.)

→ Usage restriction: Stamina 3000 or higher

→ Creator: Elder Itaki of the Red Goblin Tribe

→ Shelf life: 1 year

→ Grade: B

“This guy…”

Sejun muttered.

Even though he sent it for me to eat… knowing my stamina is weak, he still sent something like this…

‘He was trying to get rid of me.’

‘I knew it from the moment he laughed slyly like that’.

Sejun resolved to check anything Orik sent him twice, even three times, from now on.

Still, fortunately, this seemed like it would help Black Rabbit.

“Black Rabbit, how about this?”

When Sejun showed the Goblin Lower Body Strengthening Elixir to the exhausted Black Rabbit,

Ppyak!!!

[Uncle, thank you!!!]

Suddenly, confidence overflowed on Black Rabbit’s face.

“Good.”

Go! Black Rabbit!

When Sejun nodded,

Ppyak!

[Uncle, I’m off!]

Black Rabbit grabbed the glass bottle and hurriedly ran home. Now, the night was no longer frightening for Black Rabbit.

And then,

“Meow?! Where is Black Rabbit going, meow?!”

Ppyak!

“Puhuhut. I see, meow! Black Rabbit, hang in there, meow! Chairman Park, I’m back, meow!”

Theo, who had brought a lot of gifts for Sejun, returned.
