Solo Farming In The Tower
chapter-485

Silver Tower, 82nd Floor.

[Registration for the Grape Wine Drinking Competition has closed.]

[Participants, please gather below the altar.]

[The competition will begin in 1 minute.]

“Prepare yourselves!”

“Yes! Wind, halt!”

At the command of Kwin, the Tower Farmer of the Silver Tower, other wind mages assisted Kwin in weakening the surrounding wind.

As the wind calmed, the residents of the Silver Tower gathered below the altar to participate in the competition.

[The competition is starting.]

Boom!

With the message, a giant wine bottle in the shape of a grape, about 20 meters tall, appeared before the altar, filled with purple grape wine.

Simultaneously, wine glasses filled with grape wine appeared in front of the participants.

Gulp, gulp.

The participants quickly began to drink.

Each emptied glass was immediately refilled with wine, and the wine in the giant bottle steadily decreased.

The residents weren’t drinking to get drunk, but to survive.

Wine is like a high-calorie food.

They were trying to consume as many calories as possible in a short time to lessen the burden on the wind mages.

When the giant wine bottle had been emptied and refilled about 10 times,

“What?! I didn’t like the look in your eyes just now!”

“What?! Your look pissed me off even more!”

A few residents, drunk, started picking fights.

But

“If you’ve finished drinking, stop being noisy and go sleep.”

Thwack.

Zzz.

The residents causing trouble were knocked out and put to sleep by the mad Kwin.

Thanks to a few examples being made, the rest of the residents mostly drank quietly before heading down to the caves to sleep.

I’d like to feel the satisfaction of hitting someone…

Kwin sipped his wine while scanning the crowd with a crazed look in his eyes, hoping to find someone he could hit again.

[Grape Wine Drinking Competition Ranking]

1st – Minotaur King (1001L) [Black Tower, 99th Floor]

2nd – Pink-fur (1000L) [Black Tower, 99th Floor]

3rd – Uren (700L) [Black Tower, 99th Floor]

···

..

.

Moo!

Kuoooong!

The Minotaur King and Pink-fur battled for first place.

And

“Hehehe. Do you want this?”

“Oh! Thank you, Uren-hyung! Guys, bow to Hyung!”

“Hello, Uren-hyung!”

Third-place Uren, who was turning nearby objects into gold and giving them to the red fox Bayon and his subordinates.

So, Uren had that kind of drunken quirk.

“Hehehe.”

“Puhuhut.”

Park Sejun and Park Theo snickered mischievously as they watched Uren.

[Hehe, hehe.]

Flamie, sitting on Sejun’s shoulder, mimicked Sejun’s laughter.

Kuehehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehe. It’s delicious!]

Cuengi, seated with his butt on Sejun’s lap, was happily drinking something. It was grape juice Sejun had made for the underage Cuengi, who couldn’t participate in the competition.

Kkihihit. Kking! Kking!

[Hehe. Tasty! Everyone, eat up!]

I should ask for more later!

In front of Sejun, Blackie and his subordinates, who had just woken up, were busy eating roasted and dried sweet potato snacks.

“Blackie, eat slowly. I’ll give you more.”

Kking?! Kking!

[Really?! Then give me some now!]

“Sure.”

As Sejun brought over a giant basket full of roasted sweet potato snacks made by Sejun No. 1,

Kkihihit. Kking!

[Hehe. Guys, hide it away!]

Blackie pretended to eat while secretly stashing the sweet potato snacks with his subordinates into their secret storage.

‘I knew it.’

Come on. I give you these all the time, so why are you hoarding them?

Sejun watched Blackie, feeling a little confused.

But, whatever. As long as you’re happy.

Giving up on understanding, Sejun turned his attention back to watching the competition.

Sejun drank some of the wine and then decided to drop out of the competition.

The wine tasted fine, but it couldn’t compare to the wine made from Podori’s grapes.

And it was too difficult to rank within the top 100, so he only drank enough to feel good.

If he gets drunk and creates and issues, it might affect his condition tomorrow.

Sejun was preparing in his own way to meet Aileen tomorrow.

As Sejun sat peacefully with his companions, watching the competition, he made his own preparations to meet Aileen the next day.

Meanwhile, Sejun’s shadow minions were diligently delivering the snacks made by Sejun No. 1 to the competition participants.

With the rankings nearly determined, the participants had started mixing grape wine with Samyangju and continued their drinking party.

A little while later,

“Alright, everyone, time to go sleep.”

Sejun, after watching the drinking party, led his group back home.

He went to bed earlier than usual.

‘I need to sleep early if I’m going to see Aileen tomorrow.’

That way, his face would look a little less tired…

Though he didn’t want to admit it, compared to Aileen’s beauty, his own face was quite a bit ugly.

No, it wasn’t that he looked that bad, it was just that Aileen’s radiance made him look worse by comparison…

With these thoughts, Sejun lay down on the bed with his companions.

Kuehehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehe. I’m so excited to sleep with Dad!]

Cuengi snuggled up to Sejun’s side, smiling happily.

Today, Sejun had decided to sleep with Cuengi to let Pink-fur drink to her heart’s content.

As everyone lay down,

“Vice Chairman Theo, can you give me a massage…?”

Sejun asked Theo with a slightly embarrassed voice.

“Puhuhut. Great Hybrid Chairman Park, are you finally admitting that your face is ugly, meow?!”

“Shut up. Just give me the massage.”

“Puhuhut. Leave it to me, Vice Chairman Theo, meow! I’ll smooth out your wrinkles and make your face less ugly, meow!”

Squish, squish.

Theo excitedly began massaging Sejun’s face.

Kueng!

[Cuengi will help massage Dad too!]

Cuengi also started massaging Sejun’s body.

[Hehe. I’ll help too! Yap!]

Flamie used its purifying flames to remove Sejun’s impurities while softly patting him with its leaf.

Kkihihit. Kking?

[Hehe. Is this how you do it? Guys, let’s go!]

Blackie pressed Sejun’s body a few times with his front paws before running around on top of Sejun with his subordinates.

After some time passed

Kkurorong.

Kkirorong.

Eomrorong.

…

..

.

Cuengi and Blackie family fell asleep.

At that moment,

Squish, squish.

“Chairman Park, since my skin is made of dragon skin, am I a hybrid too, meow?”

Theo, who was massaging Sejun’s face diligently, asked with sparkling eyes.

“Of course. Our Vice Chairman Theo is also a hybrid too. Hybrid Theo Park.”

“Puhuhut. I’m so excited, meow! From now on, I am the great hybrid Chairman Park’s right-hand man, the deadly dragon-clawed, golden hybrid cat Theo Park, meow!”

As Theo rejoiced at having one more thing in common with Sejun,

‘If I graft onto other branches, can I become hybrid Flamie too?’

‘Pip-pip. I want dragon skin too… I want to become a hybrid Paespaes…’

Flamie and Paespaes were carefully listening to their conversation.

A little later

“Meoww…”

Cu… Cu…

Theo, half-asleep, began to lose strength in his front paws.

Thump.

Sejun lifted Theo and placed him on his lap.

“Goodnight, Vice Chairman Theo. Cuengi, Blackie, goodnight too.”

After stroking each of his companions

Kuhoror.

Sejun fell asleep.

While Sejun was sleeping,

Moo…

[I lost…]

Kuoooong!

(I won!)

Thud.

The competition ended as Pink-fur barely defeated the Minotaur King and fell asleep.

[The rewards for places 1st to 100th in the Grape Wine Drinking Competition are being distributed.]

The rewards began to be handed out.

The reward was…

[Golden Grape Wine of Explosive Magic Power]

This wine increased magic power by 30 when consumed and had the effect of amplifying magic power by 100% for 1 minute.

Gulp.

As the participants who received rewards stared at the Golden Grape Wine of Explosive Magic Power swallowing their saliva

-Everyone stop!

-Hand over the rewards quickly!

-Don’t even think about sneaking any away.

-If you do, you’ll be in big trouble!

The dragons of the Four Dragons Council appeared and began collecting the rewards on behalf of Sejun.

The dragons had called Sejun a ‘hybrid’, deeply upsetting him.

To make amends, they agreed to collect the rewards from the Grape Wine Drinking Competition for Sejun, who had gone to bed early.

As the dragons continued gathering the rewards

-Huh?! We’re missing one!

-What’s this? Are you daring to insult us?!

-If you get caught, it’s 100 years of punishment for each bottle!

When one of the reward wine bottle was missing, the dragons roared furiously at the participants.

At that moment

“Great… Great dragons! I know who has the remaining one!”

Terrified, Bayon desperately shouted to the dragons.

-Who is it?! Who dared to disobey us?!

-It’s… someone called Kwin from the 82nd floor of the Silver Tower…

[99th place – Kwin (70L) [Silver Tower, 82nd Floor]]

Bayon showed them the ranking of the 99th place finisher in the Grape Wine Drinking Competition, Kwin.

-Damn… why the Silver Tower?

-Do we have to go there?

-We promised Sejun.

-It’s annoying, but we don’t have a choice.

So the Four Dragons Council members decided to go to the Silver Tower.

-But who’s going?

-Obviously, it’s Kaiser, who was the first one to call Sejun a hybrid.

-What?! You guys nodded in agreement too! You’re worse for agreeing!

-What are you talking about?! We deliberately kept quiet, but you were the one who brought it up, so we nodded without thinking!

104.28.193.250

-Yeah!

-Kaiser, you’re the worst!

-Damn it…

After a heated argument, Kaiser ended up being the one who had to go to the Silver Tower to retrieve the reward.

***

Entrance to the Divine Realm.

“Hmm… which way should I go?”

[Seed Shop Headquarters] [Combat Shop Headquarters]

Dark, the God of Darkness, stood at a crossroads, pondering his choice.

Before being sealed, Dark had been friendly with the Gods of War and naturally wanted to head to the Combat Shop Headquarters.

But then there was Park Sejun, the Tower Farmer of the Black Tower. He had enslaved six of the nine tower farmers… and two of them were dragons!

And Why was Sejun so close with Kaiser, Kellion, Ramter, and Tier? Oh, right, through drinking…

Huh?! Was that?!Fenrir, the god hunting wolf and 1st Seat of the Apostle of Destruction, the one who sealed me, in the tower?! Why is he there?!

What the hell?! And Krueger and Alice are here too… How many Apostles of Destruction are around?!

As memories of his sealed past and the lingering thoughts in his heart combined, Dark fell into deep contemplation.

There was no future at the Combat Shop Headquarters, but looking at Sejun… the future was at the Seed Shop.

And besides…

I also want a temple!

“I’m sorry, guys.”

Dark betrayed the combat gods and headed towards the Seed Shop Headquarters.

***

The next morning.

“Hmm, hmm, hmm.”

As soon as Sejun opened his eyes, he started humming.

Today was the day he would finally meet Aileen.

“Let’s go!”

I’ll definitely endure today!

As Sejun shouted with enthusiasm and got up to go outside,

Whiirr!

[Good morning, Sejun-nim!]

Sweetie spotted Sejun from afar and flew quickly towards him.

“Hey, Sweetie! Have you already finished your training?!”

Whiirr! Whiirr!

[Yes! Sejun-nim, here! I made this for you!]

Sweetie handed Sejun a shimmering, silver-colored jelly.

[Perfect Platinum Royal Jelly]

In the past, the Poisonous Queen Bee had given Sejun an Imperfect Platinum Royal Jelly. (TL: Previously, it was translated as ‘Incomplete Perfect Platinum Royal Jelly’, which is also a correct translation. However, now that I have more context, the correct word in this situation would be ‘imperfect’, as the newer version is called ‘Perfect Platinum Royal Jelly’.)

But this one says ‘Perfect’?

Excited by the name of the royal jelly, Sejun quickly checked its options.

[Perfect Platinum Royal Jelly]

→ The Poisonous Queen Bee, Sweetie, meticulously crafted and refined various honey jellies to ensure her master’s successful date, eventually completing this miraculous Royal Jelly.

→ The honey jelly has been refined, enhancing both taste and nutrition.

→ Upon consumption, all stats increase by 50, and defensive talents are awakened.

→ Upon consumption, for one day, you will emit an attractive pheromone toward your desired romantic interest.

→ Creator: Poisonous Queen Bee Sweetie

→ Shelf Life: 100 years

→ Grade: SS

For her to go this far for me…

“Thank you, Sweetie,”

Sejun expressed his gratitude while stroking Sweetie’s back.

Whiirr! Whiirr!

[Yes! With this attractive pheromone, you’ll totally win over Aileen-nim’s heart!]

Since Sejun-nim is ugly, this is the least I can do…

Sweetie swallowed her last words, silently cheering him on.

A little while later,

“Aileen, come on over.”

With everyone’s support, Sejun met with Aileen.
