Solo Farming In The Tower

Somewhere in the merchant passage that stretches from the 10th floor to the 20th floor of the Green Tower.

“Krrta, let’s take that money and run away.”

“Yeah. If we have that money, even if we go back, the boss will forgive us.”

Eokta, a mid-level boss of the Immortal Clan, and his other subordinates were persuading the youngest, Krrta, as they walked.

But,

“No! I can’t betray Theo~nim!”

Krrta, who had switched allegiance to Theo, firmly refused.

How dare the youngest!!!

Eokta wanted to just beat Krrta and take the money, but he couldn’t use violence because the contract stipulated that slaves shouldn’t fight among themselves.

“Why are you acting like this, youngest? What if we meet other members of the Immortal Clan?!”

“Yeah. You’ll die if that happens.”

When persuasion didn’t work, they began to mix in threats.

However, this only worsened the situation.

“Brothers, I will report everything you said to Theo~nim later! And since I am the representative, please speak to me with respect from now on!”

The youngest finally awakened as the representative in response to their continuous suggestions to betray Theo.

“What?!”

“Krrta, are you crazy?!”

“Hey! I am recognized as the representative by Theo~nim! Follow my words!”

“We’ll see about that.”

“Fine. Wark hyung, I will report your words ‘We’ll see about that’ to Theo~nim.”

“What?!”

“······.”

After that, the trolls quietly moved towards the 35th floor where the headquarters of the Wandering Merchant Association was located.

Unlike the Black Tower, the headquarters of the Wandering Merchant Association was on the 35th floor of the Green Tower.

***

Black Tower 99th floor.

“Alright.”

When Sejun opened his eyes in bed,

[The seal on the Earth’s Jewel has been broken.]

[Swamp, the God of Swamps, sealed in the Earth’s Jewel, is released from the seal.]

[Swamp, the God of Swamps, repays the favor to the one who broke his seal.]

[Swamp, the God of Swamps, repays the favor by creating a swamp on 3.3 square meters of land.]

Messages appeared.

“If it’s a swamp…”

Golden swamp? Gem swamp? What is it?

“Meow…”

Sejun picked up Theo and put him on his knee to check the swamp, and

Kking…

and put Blackie into the sling bag,

Swoosh.

got out of bed and marked the date on the wall. It was the 405th day since entering the tower, and the day had began.

Sejun, who came outside, started looking around the farm for the swamp.

After a while,

104.28.193.250

“Why can’t I find it?”

When he couldn’t find the swamp path after searching the whole farm,

Could it be the kitchen?

Sejun headed to the kitchen, and beside the milk spring, he found a brown swamp created by Swamp, the God of Swamps.

“Isn’t this that thing?”

The devil’s chocolate spread, Nutella!!!

“Hehehe. Swamp~nim, you are a very excellent god.”

Approved! I’ll give you 23.1 square meters out of 33.3 square meters! (TL: Here, Sejun is rating on a scale of 10, and since the unit of measurement is in pyeong, he gives it a 7 out of 10, which equates to 23.1 out of 33.3 square meters.)

Just as Sejun decided to make a 23.1- square meters Swamp Road,

[You have lifted the seals of five gods.]

[The quest conditions have been met.]

[As a reward for meeting the quest conditions, you have obtained 5 drops of the Growth Elixir.]

Along with the message, a small glass bottle containing a liquid emitting a radiant light of various colors appeared in Sejun’s hand.

“Is this the Growth Elixir?”

Sejun, mesmerized by the light emitted by the elixir, checked the options of the Growth Elixir.

[Growth Elixir]

→ A very faint trace of the supreme Creator God’s energy is contained in this elixir.

→ Upon consumption, you gain 1 million experience points.

→ Upon consumption, the lowest stat among Strength, Stamina, Agility, and Magic Power increases by 10, and one job skill’s proficiency increases significantly.

→ Every time you consume 10 drops of the Growth Elixir, all stats increase by 100.

→ Remaining quantity: 5 drops

→ Usage restriction: Black Tower’s Tower Farmer

→ Creator: Apostle of Creation, Emila Ibenes

→ Grade: SSS

“What is this?”

It increases so many things in such a variety of ways?

It was the first time Sejun had encountered an item that simultaneously increased experience points, job skill proficiency, and stats.

He felt as if the elixir was grabbing him by the collar and forcing him to grow.

So, this is why it’s called the Growth Elixir…

Sejun immediately drank the Growth Elixir.

The taste was…

Ugh!

It tasted like the healthy green juice his mom used to make when he was young.

Gulp. Gulp.

Sejun hurriedly drank some water to swallow the Growth Elixir.

[You have consumed 5 drops of the Growth Elixir.]

[You have gained 5 million experience points.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have gained 1 bonus stat point.]

[Strength has increased by 10.]

···

..

.

As a result, Sejun leveled up to level 88, and his lowest stat, Agility, increased by 50.

Additionally, the proficiency of job skills such as Magic Seed Sowing, Harvesting, Crop Gigantification, You’re a Field!, and Greenhouse increased.

Sejun, who drank the Growth Elixir like that.

“Land Moving.”

He used the his skill with Myler’s hoe to make a 23.1-square meters Swamp Road.

[Swamp Road]

-Swamp, the God of Swamps, who repaid us with the devil’s chocolate spread swamp. He was a very, very excellent god.

“Now, let’s have breakfast.”

After making the road, Sejun returned to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

A little later,

Kueng!

[Dad, good morning!]

Cuengi energetically greeted and entered the kitchen.

“Cuengi, try this.”

Sejun spread chocolate spread on a baguette he had baked and gave it to Cuengi.

Kueng?! Kueng!

[What’s this?! It’s really delicious!]

Cuengi’s mood lifted, and he started shaking his hips while eating the delicious food.

Kking!

[Tasty!]

Blackie also got excited, eating with chocolate spread smeared all over his mouth.

Indeed, it was the devil’s spread.

“Vice Chairman Theo, do you want to try?”

“No! I, Vice Chairman Theo, will eat grilled fish, meow.”

However, even the devil’s spread couldn’t tempt the fish lover.

After breakfast was over,

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I’ll be going, meow!”

“Sure. Have a good trip.”

“I’ll be going, meow!”

Theo headed to the first floor of the Green Tower for work, naturally carrying the grilled fish lunchbox Sejun had packed in his bag.

***

Seed Shop Headquarters.

[Park Sejun, the Black Tower’s tower farmer, has built a temple (23.1 square meters) for Swamp, the God of Swamps.]

[Divine power has increased by 20.]

“Wow…”

“23.1 square meters…”

While other non-combat gods were surprised by the size of the temple Swamp received,

“Hahaha. As expected, my prediction was right.”

Swamp laughed as he confirmed the size of the temple Sejun had built.

Swamp had been trapped in the damaged Earth’s Jewel for a long time.

Swamp realized something when he saw the size of the temples other gods received from Sejun as rewards for freeing them from their seals.

Park Sejun is more generous with food than with gold or jewels.

So, Swamp chose food as his reward, and as he expected, Sejun responded with a large(?) temple.

“Guys, gather around. Let me tell you the story of how I received a large temple from Park Sejun!”

“Oh! Really?!”

“Tell us quickly!”

Non-combat gods gathered around Swamp.

“Ahem.”

Even Leah, the God of Abundance, also quietly approached to listen to Swamp.

A little later,

“Oh! So Park Sejun likes food more than treasure! I’ll keep that in mind for future requests.”

“I see. Park Sejun is different from humans who covet wealth!”

“As expected of Park Sejun!”

“Park Sejun!”

“Park Sejun!”

The non-combat gods, happy that Sejun was a decent(?) human, chanted his name.

However,

Thud. Thud.

When they heard the sound of a combat god passing by the next building,

“Park Sejun…”

“Park Sejun…”

they quickly lowered their voices.

***

Green Tower, 1st floor.

“Ten roasted sweet potatoes, please!”

“I’ll take ten corns!”

The Hunters filling the shop street on the 1st floor were buying crops from Sejun’s shop.

At the front of these Hunters, there were 30 who were eating while standing in line.

“But when does the auction start?!”

“I guess we have to wait for that cat called Theo Park to come first.”

They were there to buy the Sturdy Blade Green Onions sold by Theo.

Yesterday, they went outside the tower and personally verified the incredible effects of the Sturdy Blade Green Onions.

“Today, we’ll secure at least 100,000 of them!”

“We have to win at least once!”

They were representatives of their tribes, determined to secure more Sturdy Blade Green Onions.

“Hmph! We can’t give a single one to the Tiger Tribe!”

“Hmph! Victory will be ours, meow!”

As usual, Theseus, the representative of the Tiger Tribe, and Maroon, the representative of the Lion Tribe, growled at each other.

“Meow? What? What is that dumb way of talking?!”

Maroon was mocking Theseus when,

“Meow, meow, meow.”

Theo appeared on the shop’s roof, humming a tune and opening his bag.

Puhuhut. There are so many Neta Tribe people again today, meow! How exciting, meow!

Seeing the crowd of Hunters in front of the shop, he smiled brightly.

“Neta Tribe, I, Vice Chairman Theo, have arrived, meow!”

Thump.

Theo jumped off the roof, landing gracefully in a superhero pose, and pulled out 30 million Sturdy Blade Green Onions from his bag, more than the previous day.

Currently, the Black Tower had large stocks of Sturdy Blade Green Onions being cultivated on the 99th, 67th, and 49th floors.

“The auction will begin now, meow!”

“30 million Tower Coins for 100,000!”

“32 million Tower Coins!”

The starting bid was 10 million Tower Coins higher than yesterday.

Yesterday, the Hunters hadn’t pooled their money properly, but today, all the tribe Hunters’ money was collected by their representatives.

“51 million Tower Coins, meow!”

“SOLD, meow!”

The Sturdy Blade Green Onions were sold for around 50 million Tower Coins,

“All sold out, meow!”

Theo sold 30 million Sturdy Blade Green Onions, making a revenue of 15 billion Tower Coins.

But,

“Puhuhut. There’s one more crop to sell today, meow!”

The auction wasn’t over yet.

“There’s more to sell?”

“What is it?”

As the Hunters wondered,

“Puhuhut. After the Locusts come the leeches, meow! And for leeches, you need this, meow!”

Theo pulled out the Vitality-Infused Fragrant Grapes from his bag.

Knowing that giant blood-sucking leeches come out after locusts on Earth, Theo decided to sell the grapes in advance.

“The auction will begin, meow! I will sell them 100 bunches at a time, with a total of 5,000 bunches, meow!”

“10,000 Tower Coins for 100 bunches!”

“12,000 Tower Coins for 100 bunches!”

At Theo’s call, the Hunters started bidding. However, the bids were far too low.

The Hunters were drawn to the fragrance of the grapes rather than recognizing their value as a crop that could deal with the yet-to-appear leeches.

At that moment,

“10 million Tower Coins for 100 bunches, meow!”

Theseus, who had complete trust in Theo, started to raise the price.

“We can’t lose to the Tiger Tribe! 15 million Tower Coins!”

Maroon raised the bid again, unwilling to lose to Theseus.

“33 million Tower Coins, meow!”

“SOLD, meow!”

“30 million Tower Coins!”

“SOLD, meow!”

In the end, the Vitality-Infused Fragrant Grapes were swept up by the Tiger Tribe and the Lion Tribe.

After the auction ended,

“Puhuhut. I’ve gathered quite a bit of money today, meow!”

Just a little more and I can give it to Chairman Park, meow!

As Theo happily packed the money into his bag,

Thud. Thud.

With vibrations shaking the ground, hundreds of green trolls were approaching from a distance.

And then,

“Who dares to mess with the Immortal Clan?!”

A monster at the front shouted loudly.

[Manta, Mid-level boss of the Immortal Clan]

“Puhuhut. Slaves, meow!”

Theo laughed as he approached the trolls with Meow Step.

Thwack.

Simultaneously knocking out the trolls by hitting the back of their heads and stamping contracts, he increased Krrta’s subordinates.

As Theo was happily making slaves,

Squirm. Slosh.

Outside the Green Tower, five giant blood-sucking leeches were approaching the Lion Tribe’s territory.

Theo somehow ended up making a prophecy-like prediction.

The Neta people’s trust in Theo began rising rapidly.
