Chapter 158: Draw on mine too, meow!

Solo Farming In The Tower

TL: Hanguk

“It’s done.”

After hearing about Artemis, Brachio, and the creator god’s tablet pieces, Kellion had returned home and connected his soul to the white dragon statue again.

Flap. Flap.

-Are you back? You’re late, aren’t you?

Kaiser spoke in a gruff voice, looking at the white dragon statue flying towards him.

-Kaiser, are you still sulking?

-What?! Sulking?! Do I look sulky to you?! You Makgeolli thief!

Kaiser got angry at Kellion’s words.

-What?! Makgeolli thief?! You brought it to drink!

-When did I say to drink it all?!

-Drink it all? I left some!

-Is leaving only a sip considered as leaving some?!

Normally, they would have been physically fighting, but they only argued with words. Because if the statue were destroyed during the fight, it would become difficult to obtain the crops and dishes made by Sejun from then on.

And if, by any chance, Sejun gets hurt or dies due to the aftermath of their fight? That would be equivalent to killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. They were being very careful in their own way.

While the two dragons were fighting,

“Kaiser, Kellion, please help me!”

Sejun, who had made wonderful claws for Cuengi, ran straight to the two dragons as soon as he saw them and asked for help.

He had mobilized Pink-fur and even the Minotaur king to sprout the seedlings of the Elixir: cherry tomato, but ultimately failed. As a last resort, Sejun asked the two dragons for help.

Flap. Flap.

-Sejun, you don’t need to take help from Kellion! What do you need?

Kaiser quickly flew to Sejun’s side and shouted.

And then,

-By the way, when will the Makgeolli be ready?

He quietly asked when the Makgeolli would be ready, casting a barrier so Kellion couldn’t hear.

“It will take about 4-5 days to mature.”

-Hehehe. Really? Let’s go! I will solve everything.

Kaiser tried to solve everything by himself.

However,

[Planting the seed of the Elixir: Cherry Tomato Imbued with Powerful Magic Power failed.]

[The environment is not strong enough in magic power for the Elixir: Cherry Tomato Imbued with Powerful Magic Power to take root.]

[Planting the seed of the Elixir: Cherry Tomato Imbued with Powerful Magic Power failed.]

Swoosh.

The seed turned into powder and disappeared along with the message.

“Um…Kaiser, it seems difficult to do it alone.”

-Ahem! The output of the magic stone is insufficient…

Kaiser spoke in a resentful voice. If he could use the magic power of his main body, he could use 100 times more magic power, but the capacity of the magic stone attached to the black dragon statue was insufficient.

-Ahem. I have to step in.

Kellion, who had been watching from behind, coughed and spoke. Normally, he would have enjoyed watching Kaiser struggle, but he couldn’t afford to do that today.

Because of the Elixir: Cherry Tomato Imbued with Powerful Magic Power seed that Sejun had taken out. A tomato that only grows in places with strong magic power. It felt like a crop that existed for his grandson, Ajax.

‘This is an opportunity. With this crop, even Ajax can farm!’

That’s why Kellion didn’t enjoy watching Kaiser struggle and quickly helped Sejun.

He wanted to quickly confirm whether the elixir: cherry tomato could really withstand Ajax’s magic power.

Woong.

Kellion poured all his magic power into the ground filled with Kaiser’s magic power. It was slightly more than the magic power that Ajax usually emits. If it can withstand this much magic power, it can grow well even in the White Tower.

-Now try planting it.

“Yes.”

Sejun planted the elixir: cherry tomato seed once again in the ground filled with magic power of Kaiser and Kellion.

And then,

[Elixir: Cherry Tomato Imbued with Powerful Magic Power has been planted.]

[Elixir: Cherry Tomato Imbued with Powerful Magic Power Successfully planted.]

[Due to the effect of Magic Seed Sowing Lv. 6, the growth speed of crops will be faster for 24 hours.]

He successfully planted the Elixir-grade tomato.

“It’s done!”

Sejun finally succeeded in planting the Elixir-grade tomato and cheered.

Then,

[The magic power of the land where the Elixir: Cherry Tomato Imbued with Powerful Magic Power is planted is dispersing.]

[The effect of Magic Seed Sowing Lv. 6’s growth speed increase is reduced to 20 hours.]

[If the magic power of the land drops below a certain level, the Elixir: Cherry Tomato Imbued with Powerful Magic Power will wither.]

The magic power infused into the ground dispersed, and a message appeared, indicating that they needed to infuse more magic. The two dragon statues needed to maintain a certain amount of magic power infused into the ground.

“Huh?!”

Since the two dragons had exhausted all their magic power, Sejun initially infused some of his magic power, but

[The magical energy of the ground has fallen below a certain level. Elixir: Cherry Tomato Imbued with Powerful Magic Power has withered.]

Sejun’s magic was not enough. The Elixir: Cherry Tomato Imbued with Powerful Magic Power tragically died.

“It’s difficult…”

Sejun was disappointed.

And

‘Hehehe.’

On the contrary, Kellion smiled. A crop that needs a continuous supply of strong magic power.

‘This is a crop for Ajax!’

It was a perfect condition.

-Great!

Kellion unintentionally revealed his true feelings.

“What?! What did you just say?!”

Sejun, who became irritable after the Elixir grade cherry tomato died, unintentionally raised his voice and asked Kellion. It was already upsetting that the crop died, and now he was saying ‘Great!’.

– Ah… no, I mean, it’s not good…

Kellion quickly made an excuse and began thinking about how to steal the seeds. If he had the seeds of the Elixir: Cherry Tomato Imbued with Powerful Magic Power, even Ajax could farm.

‘Grandson, just wait a little longer!’

Thinking about his grandson, who would be working hard with dirt on his hands, Kellion gained determination.

And

‘Suspicious…’

Kaiser looked at Kellion with suspicion.

***

99th floor of the White Tower.

“Bang! You all! It’s been 3 seconds since break time ended, and you’re still sitting?! Hurry up and work?! It’s very comfortable these days, huh?! Want to see hell?! Huh?!”

“Sorry…”

At the shout of the white-haired boy, the monsters trembled in fear and hurriedly started scattering seeds from the sacks.

The seeds scattered by the monsters were collected from each floor of the White Tower.

‘If they can’t handle my magic, I’ll win with quantity!’

Ajax, realizing the seeds couldn’t endure his magic power and were dying, decided to plant more to distribute his energy.

“You’re not doing it right over there!”

Contrary to Kellion’s worries, Ajax, who was leaning back and only giving orders to the monsters, had hands that were completely clean without a speck of dust.

***

Krueng! Krueng?

[Big bro, look at my claws! Aren’t they cool?]

Cuengi showed off his claws, which Sejun had made look cool, to Theo. Each of Cuengi’s claws had pictures of magnificent and great beings drawn on them.

And

“I’m envious, meow…”

Theo looked at Cuengi’s claws with envy. Having been demoted from Vice Chairman to Representative, and now seeing Cuengi’s cool claws. Theo’s ears drooped from the two consecutive depressing events.

Krueng! Krueng!

[Cheer up, big bro! Someday, big bro will also have cool claws like mine!]

Cuengi consoled Theo like that.

The situation had turned around three hours earlier.

‘It’s tough. very tough.’

While eating, Sejun was contemplating how to make Cuengi’s claws look cool, but he couldn’t think of anything no matter how hard he tried.

While lost in thought,

‘Ah! Will this work?!’

A good idea came to mind.

“Cuengi, enlarge yourself.”

After finishing his meal, Sejun ordered Cuengi, who was dozing off with his back pressed against Sejun’s back, to become giant.

Krueng…

[Okay…]

Cuengi, who was still half-asleep, transformed into a giant.

And

“Representative Theo, show me your claws.”

Sejun held Theo’s front paw and spoke.

“Why am I Representative Theo, meow?!”

“You were demoted.”

“Meow… Okay, meow…”

Snap!

When Theo reluctantly pulled out his dragon claws with a sullen expression,

Swoosh.

Sejun began drawing on Cuengi’s claws using Theo’s dragon claw. What Sejun had in mind was nail art.

Kkuroong.

While Cuengi sat and fell asleep again, Sejun, holding Theo, wrote ‘Park Cuengi’ on Cuengi’s right thumb with Theo’s dragon claws.

Now, Sejun felt like Cuengi was his own child. So, he engraved his last name as well.

After engraving the name on the right thumb, Sejun began diligently drawing pictures on the other nine claws.

2 hours later

“Cuengi, wake up.”

Sejun completed his masterpiece and woke Cuengi up.

Krueng?

[Is it done?]

Cuengi hurriedly checked his claws.

“I engraved your name on the right thumb. Park Cuengi. How is it?”

Krueng! Krueng!

[It’s good! My name is now Park Cuengi!]

Cuengi was happy looking at his own thumb. Although he didn’t say it, Cuengi was envious of Theo’s full name, Theo Park.

Krueng?

[But what are these?]

Cuengi asked, looking at the nine incomprehensible pictures drawn on his claws.

“I am also curious, meow!”

“Huh?!”

‘Why can’t he recognize them?’

What Sejun drew on Cuengi’s claws were Sejun, Theo, Flamie, Black Rabbit, Cuengi, Golden Bat, ChuChu, Iona, and Hegel and Elka.

To be honest, he admitted that Hegel and Elka, being bothersome to draw separately, might look like conjoined twins because he drew only one body for them. But the rest should be recognizable.

However, seeing Cuengi’s reaction, Sejun felt he might get into trouble if he told the truth.

“These represent the Ten Heavens.”

So he hastily made something up on the spot.

“But why are there only 9 drawings if it’s the Ten Heavens, meow?!”

Theo unexpectedly asked sharply. It was a mistake Sejun made in haste.

However,

“Well, I haven’t seen the last one of the Ten Heavens. I will draw the last one when I see it.”

Sejun calmly responded and overcame the crisis.

Then,

Krueng?

[But Daddy, what are the Ten Heavens?]

Another crisis approached.

“Um… the Ten Heavens refers to the ten strongest beings in the world. Of course, excluding dragons.”

People say the more you lie, the better you get at it… Soon, he might become a top-tier scam artist…

But he still had a conscience, so he excluded dragons. Dragons were completely different beings who were at an entirely different level. It was impossible to compare.

Of course, Cuengi might one day be able to go head-to-head with dragons…

Krueng!

[The Ten Heavens are amazing!]

Fortunately, Cuengi completely bought Sejun’s story. Cuengi liked the pictures drawn on his claws.

And then,

“Chairman Park! Draw on mine too, meow!”

Theo begged to have the Ten Heavens drawn on his claws as well.

Seeing that his work had gained a fan,

“Okay.”

Excited Sejun grabbed Theo’s right front paw and started drawing on one of the claw of his left front paw.

However,

Squeak. Squeak.

“It won’t work…”

Dragon claw were too hard to engrave on.

“Meow… I am jealous, meow!”

Even with his formidable dragon claws, Theo was still envious of Cuengi’s claws.

Just then, while Theo was looking enviously at Cuengi’s claws,

“What are you doing?”

“Meow?!”

Thud.

Sejun, who had returned after failing at planting the elixir-grade cherry tomatoes, grabbed Theo and placed him on his lap.

And then,

Krueng…

Cuengi, who couldn’t climb onto Sejun’s lap because of his weight, looked enviously at Theo.

‘Puhuhut! That’s right, meow! I have Chairman Park’s lap, meow!’

“Chairman Park! I want Churu, meow!”

Theo, feeling better, asked Sejun for Churu.

And then,

Slurp… slurp…

Gulp.

Theo, who seemed to have been stressed today due to his demotion and claws, ate the delicious Churu and fell asleep.

Kkwehehehe.

Cuengi, who was eating honey and licking his claws next to him, took the Churu that Theo left while eating and put it in his mouth.

Day 313 of being stranded. Only 4 days were left until the birthday party.
