Solo Farming In The Tower

chapter-452
The Outskirts of Destruction.
“I’m busy to death, where did Krueger and Alice go? These bastards, slacking off just because Fenrir isn’t around…”
Don’t tell me they’re looking down on me, the 2nd seat of the Apostles of Destruction?!!
Halphas had an inferiority complex towards Fenrir, the 1st seat of the Apostles of Destruction.
These bastards!“Gather!!!”
He summoned all the Apostles of Destruction.
However, it was Halphas’s first time summoning the Apostles of Destruction directly without Fenrir’s orders.
They’ll come, right?
Halphas nervously waited for the other Apostles of Destruction to gather.
***
99th floor of the Black Tower.Two days had passed since the fainting incident, and it was now lunchtime.
“Guys, let’s have lunch!”
Having spent the entire morning planting seeds of the Destruction Devourer, Sejun called for Blackie, Eomdol and Ggomi.
Theo had gone to the Green Tower, and Cuengi had gone to the herb garden.
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. Guys, I’m going to eat! It’s food time!]
Responding to Sejun’s call, Blackie ran towards him, leaving behind the Destruction Devourers.
“Great Blackie-nim, I’m so excited to see what today’s meal will be!”
Kkiruk!
Drooling, Eomdol and Ggomi clung to Blackie’s fur.
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. The great Blackie will specially tell you! Today’s lunch menu is cheese rolled omelet!]
Blackie, who had secretly peeked at the ingredients Sejun had taken out earlier, boasted to the two.
“As expected of the great Blackie-nim!”
Kkiruk!
Kihihit.
Blackie arrived at the cooking area, receiving praise from his subordinates for finding out the lunch menu.
Kking?!
[Butler, what is that hideous dish?!]
In the cooking area, besides the cheese rolled omelet, there was another dish.
It was a Cheese Bomb Steamed Egg.
The sight of the eggs rising and bubbling in the hot stone pot appeared grotesque to Blackie.
“This is called steamed egg. Give it a try.”
Kking! Kking!
[No way! I’m going to eat the cheese rolled omelet!]
Blackie turned away from the steamed egg and went straight for the omelet.
“Sejun-nim, may I try it?”
“Sure. But be careful, it’s hot.”
Curious about new flavors ever since awakening his sense of taste, Eomdol didn’t hesitate and tried the steamed egg.
“Oh! It’s delicious!”
As expected, it’s a dish made by Sejun-nim!
While Eomdol was eagerly devouring the steamed egg,
Kking?!
[Eomdol, is it tasty?]
After partially filling his stomach with the omelet, Blackie slowly approached Eomdol, who was enjoying the steamed egg, and asked.
“Yes! It’s really delicious!”
Kking? Kking!
[Really? Then the great Blackie will try it!]
Blackie, who had earlier dismissed the steamed egg as grotesque and had shown a somewhat weak side as a leader by being picky.
Hehe. I’ll show you the dignity of a leader!
Chomp.
He boldly stuck his snout into the stone pot filled with steamed egg.
And then,
Kyiyahyak!
[Hot!!!]
He screamed and quickly spat out the hot steamed egg that had entered his mouth.
Eomdol’s mouth was made of stone, so he could eat hot food very well.
“Hey! You wouldn’t eat it when I told you to, and now you’re putting it hot in your mouth?!”
Thanks to that, Blackie had to endure a storm of scolding from Sejun.
Kking.
[Butler, my tongue hurts.]
“Did it burn a lot? Ah. Let me see.”
Though he claimed to be hurt, Blackie enjoyed receiving Sejun’s care. His tongue hurt, but his heart felt ticklish, and a smile slowly crept up on his face—it was really strange.
Kihihit.
“What are you smiling about?!”
Kking…
Of course, he got scolded again for smiling.
After finishing lunch,
Clang.
When Sejun opened the Void Storage,
Kiki!
Kiki!
The bodies of the Apostles of Destruction Alice and Krueger, and the Destruction Devourers greeted Sejun.
Since the energy of destruction emitted by the Apostles of Destruction was so strong, Sejun had placed them in the Void Storage. He had spent the morning planting the Destruction Devourers inside the storage.
[You’re a Field Lv. 4 has been activated.]
[You have planted the seed of Exploding Stamina Corn in the body of Krueger, 7th seat of the Apostle of Destruction, the Destroyer of Mountains.]
[Your job experience has significantly increased.]
[Your proficiency of You’re a Field Lv. 4 has greatly increased.]
[Exploding Stamina Corn rapidly grows by absorbing the vitality of Krueger, 7th seat of the Apostle of Destruction, the Destroyer of Mountains.]
In the afternoon, Sejun was planting Exploding Stamina Corn to complete his quest.
When the dragons first discovered the Apostles of Destruction in Sejun’s Void Storage, there was a huge commotion.
– This is Krueger and Alice?!
– And they’re not fragments, but the real ones?!
– Why are they in our Sejun’s storage?!
– But where did their souls go?
It was understandable why they were so surprised. Apostles of Destruction are not only difficult to kill, but even if they die, they only disappear temporarily and do not completely vanish.
But to think he captured Apostles of Destruction like this… and two of them at that?!
As the dragons were bewildered by the situation they couldn’t comprehend,
“Puhuhut. Listen, dragon-nims, meow!”
Theo began explaining how he defeated the Apostles of Destruction.
“When Vice Chairman Theo and Cuengi were in danger, Chairman Park shouted, and Alice just collapsed, meow! Chairman Park saved us, meow!”
Although Alice had screamed in agony as she broke through the fourth seal, Theo skillfully glorified Sejun’s role.
“But then Krueger appeared, meow! We were exhausted, but as soon as Chairman Park set his gaze on Krueger, it stopped moving, meow! That’s why Chairman Park is amazing, meow!”
The dragons who listened to Theo’s explanation.
104.28.193.250
So who actually defeated them?
They looked at Sejun with expressions of complete incomprehension.
I don’t know either.
Shake shake.
Sejun also shook his head because he didn’t know how he won.
And so, the commotion over who dealt with the Apostles of Destruction subsided without a clear answer.
After that, even when a strong energy of destruction flowed out around them once in a while, the dragons just thought, ‘Oh, it’s just that’.
“Alright. Time to harvest.”
Sejun, who had planted 1,000 corn seeds, went to the spot where he had planted the first one. There, corn that had grown well through rapid growth was ready for harvest.
Snap.
As Sejun snapped off the corn to harvest it,
[You have harvested Exploding Stamina Corn.]
[You’re a Field Lv. 4 is activated, inflicting additional damage.]
···
..
.
Messages appeared.
Although there wasn’t a fierce clash of strength, Sejun was fighting the Apostles of Destruction in his own way as a farmer.
Snap.
As Sejun continued to harvest the corn, slowly chipping away at the life force of the Apostle of Destruction,
[You have harvested Exploding Stamina Corn.]
[You’re a Field Lv. 4 is activated, inflicting additional damage.]
[You’re a Field Lv. 4 is activated, harvesting the stats of Krueger, 7th seat of the Apostle of Destruction, the Destroyer of Mountains.]
[Strength increases by 20, Stamina by 50, Agility by 5, and Magic power by 30.]
Oh! It triggered!
The stat harvesting option of the You’re a Field skill, which activates with a slim probability, had triggered.
“Hehehe. Sweet.”
Indeed, farming is the best.
Sejun smiled as he checked the messages and continued harvesting the corn.
Since stat harvesting was a game of probabilities anyway, the best and most optimal strategy was to harvest as many as possible to increase the odds.
At that moment,
[Bev, the God of Courage, urges you to show the same courage as last time.]
Bev, the God of Courage, spoke to Sejun.
The reason Sejun caught the eye of Bev, a combat god, was because of the Heart of Courage that Hel had given to Theo.
And,
[Heart of Courage]
→ This divine relic was created by Bev, the God of Courage, to give to those courageous enough to not yield to overwhelming power.
→ The details can only be seen after receiving Bev’s recognition.
→ Currently, you can view part of the details as you have received Bev’s recognition twice.
→ You are granted <Power: The Courageous One>.
→ You can accumulate achievements of courage to use when needed.
→ Current accumulated achievements of courage: 0
→ Usage restriction: Those who have been recognized by Bev, the God of Courage, 3 times for their courage
→ Creator: Bev, the God of Courage.
→ Rating: ★★★
Sejun had already received recognition from Bev twice.
Once when he fought Alice, the Apostle of Destruction, an opponent he couldn’t possibly defeat.
And a second time when he courageously summoned Aileen, a being whose mere presence could put his life at risk.
After that, when Sejun quietly continued farming
You’re the first man to receive my recognition twice after I created this divine relic!
Bev, growing anxious, was urging Sejun.
“Ah. No, I don’t want to. I absolutely won’t do it.”
Are you telling me to risk my life again?! Are you crazy?!
Of course, Sejun immediately rejected the offer.
[Bev, the God of Courage, cheers you on saying, “Park Sejun, you can do it!”]
“I said no! Block!”
In the end, Sejun blocked Bev for three days. He had learned how to block gods from Cuengi.
Later, as evening approached,
[You have harvested 1 million Exploding Stamina Corn.]
[You have completed the quest.]
[As a reward for completing the quest, you have obtained 1 drop of the Enhancing Elixir.]
The quest was complete.
…?
No recognition?
As Sejun waited for the recognition from Hamer, the God of Farming,
[As a reward for completing the quest, you have received the recognition of Hamer, the God of Farming.]
A belated message of Hamer’s recognition appeared.
“Huh?”
Sejun, puzzled, went off to have dinner.
***
On the first floor of the 10th Tower.
[Park Sejun, the Tower Farmer of the Black Tower, has harvested 100 Exploding Stamina Corn and you have obtained 1 Exploding Stamina Corn through the <Power: Harvest Thanksgiving>.]
…
..
.
[Park Sejun, the Tower Farmer of the Black Tower, has harvested 1 million Exploding Stamina Corn.]
[Park Sejun, the Tower Farmer of the Black Tower, has completed the quest.]
“Wow. That was really fast.”
Hamer marveled as he saw the quest completion message, something he had thought would take several months.
[Hehe. That’s right! My master is amazing! He’s a farmer who owns a whopping 25 new varieties!]
Flamie proudly boasted about Sejun, puffing up with pride at Hamer’s words.
At that moment,
“Good. Since the first recognition is done, let’s move on to the second one.”
Hamer tried to pull a trick.
I’ll give recognition, but…
Kekeke. I’ll issue quests up to the 100th recognition to secure snacks for the next 1,000 years.
He planned to continuously give Sejun quests without giving full recognition.
However,
[Hamer-nim, care to try?]
Flamie wasn’t going to just stand by and watch Sejun be played with.
Kukukung.
Flamie prepared to fight, raising massive roots once again.
Fwoosh.
This time, unlike when fighting Stella, she also utilized the power of fire.
“What?!”
What the hell? She wasn’t even using her full strength when fighting me?!
Stella was shocked as she looked at Flamie. Just as she hadn’t used her final trump card, Flamie also had a hidden ace up her sleeve.
Of course, they both hadn’t used their ultimate moves because they hadn’t crossed each other’s final line.
But now,
[How dare you toy with my master?!]
Hamer crossed that final line, and Flamie gladly unleashed her hidden power.
[I’ll burn you to death!]
“Eek! I got it! I’ll recognize him!”
Thanks to Flamie’s intervention, Sejun was able to receive full recognition from Hamer, the God of Farming.
***
On the 99th floor of the Black Tower.
After finishing dinner,
“Now, I just need to get the recognition of Patrick, the God of Earth.”
Crunch.
Sejun said while diligently scooping out a giant watermelon that he had cut in half.
Kueng!
[It’s delicious!]
Next to Sejun, Cuengi was also devouring an entire giant watermelon.
The Plump Drought-inducing Watermelon increases all stats by 20 when consumed.
One for Sejun, one for Cuengi.
It was a quite large in size for Sejun to finish on his own, but…
I need to get stronger if I’m going to meet Aileen.
“Vitality.”
With the help of his skill, Sejun managed to eat the whole thing by himself.
[You have consumed the Plump Drought-inducing Watermelon.]
[All stats have increased by 20.]
[Due to sufficient water intake, you won’t be thirsty for two months.]
“Hehehe. As expected, effort doesn’t betray.”
Sejun confirmed the results of his hard work after struggling to eat the watermelon.
“But why hasn’t Vice Chairman Theo come back yet?”
Technically, Theo had briefly visited in the afternoon, mentioned something about special training, and then went back to the Green Tower without returning.
“I hope nothing happened to him.”
As Sejun was worrying about Theo,
“Chairman Park, I… I’ve… come back, meow…”
Thud.
Theo, who barely announced his return, collapsed on the floor.
“Huh?! Vice Chairman Theo!”
Sejun quickly ran towards the collapsed Theo.
