Solo Farming In The Tower

Neta world’s Lion Tribe Territory.

“Throw the grapes at them!”

“Make them eat each other!”

The Lion Tribe hunters threw the vitality-infused fragrant grapes, as instructed by Theo, at the giant bloodsucking leeches.

Then,

Squirm. Squirm.

The leeches, intoxicated by the fragrance of the grapes from each other, began to devour their own kind.

Once their sizes reduced to about 1 meter,

“Use fire magic!”

“Fireball!”

“Fire Arrow!”

The wizards burned the leeches with their magic.

[You have defeated a giant bloodsucking leech.]

Thanks to this, they were able to easily defeat the giant bloodsucking leeches.

Phew. If I hadn’t bought the vitality-infused fragrant grapes…

He didn’t even want to imagine it.

Maroon tried attacking the leeches that were intoxicated by the grape scent and eating each other from behind.

However,

Squirm. Squirm.

The attacked leeches continued to split and split again. Moreover, the dozens of split leeches charged, sucking blood with their sharp teeth.

If they had tried to catch the leeches without the grapes, there would have been tremendous damage.

“Theo Park~nim is really amazing. How did he know they would appear?”

And even the method to deal with them.

Maroon couldn’t help but feel respect for Theo.

“Could it be that Theo Park~nim is the savior who came to rescue us?”

Maroon recalled the legend passed down in the Lion Tribe.

– On the day, when the world is coming to an end, a brave lion will appear to save you.

Thinking about it, Theo’s appearance was similar to that of a lion. He could hide his claws and had whiskers too.

There were more differences, but people tend to see only what they want to believe.

“Yes. Theo Park~nim is definitely the savior who came to save our Lion Tribe!”

He hadn’t fully grown yet, but when he does, he’ll look more like a lion…

“Come to think of it, those Tiger Tribe bastards dared to mimic our savior~nim’s speech. Unforgivable… Meow! From now on, this speech belongs to the Lion Tribe… Meow!”

Maroon practiced Theo’s speech style to use it naturally.

***

Black Tower’s Administrator Area.

[Time remaining until Great Black Tower growth: 797 days]

“Khehehe. Another day has passed.”

Aileen laughed as she confirmed that another day had been deducted from the time left until the Black Tower’s growth.

And then,

“Now I should check my Sejun’s contribution. Show me the 4th floor contribution rankings of the tower.”

Aileen checked Sejun’s contributions through the crystal orb.

[Black Tower 4th Floor Flesh Eater Extermination Contribution Rankings]

1st – Park Sejun (23,581,942)

2nd – Han Tae-jun (17,561)

3rd – Miel (5,598)

···

..

.

The 3rd place in the contribution rankings had changed, but Sejun was still overwhelmingly in 1st place, and the gap with 2nd place had widened even more.

However,

“What?”

Our Sejun’s contribution hasn’t increased much.

Aileen was not satisfied.

Recently, Sejun’s contribution had been increasing by 1 million every morning, but today it had only increased by around 500,000, half of that.

This was due to the side effects of the mages transitioning to bomb mages.

The bomb mages hunted the Flesh Eaters with pineapple bombs, greatly reducing the number of Flesh Eaters going to the grape farm.

“Khing…”

I want to make my Sejun stronger quickly…

Aileen became depressed, wanting to increase Sejun’s contribution quickly to make him stronger.

At that moment,

[The slaves of Theo, who is a subordinate of Park Sejun, Black Tower’s mid-level administrator and tower farmer, have used large-scale fire magic to defeat 1,120,281 Flesh Eaters of the Eighth Plague.]

[A slave’s contributions belong to the master, and a subordinate’s contributions belong to the superior.]

[The contribution of Park Sejun, the Black Tower’s mid-level administrator and tower farme, has increased by 1,120,281.]

Suddenly, Sejun’s contribution skyrocketed.

“What’s going on?”

Aileen hurriedly checked the 4th floor of the tower with the crystal orb.

***

4th Floor of the Black Tower.

104.28.193.250

“We have come here under the orders of Theo Park~nim.”

The subordinates of Regius, the Lord of Bones, who were of the scared bone lineage, arrived on the 4th floor of the tower.

And then,

“Oh my…”

Koto, who had been advocating for the overthrow of the bone caste system, looked at them with disbelief.

Regius, the final boss of the bone caste system that needed to be overthrown, was defeated, and now his subordinates, the very backbone of the bone caste system, had come here as Theo’s slaves.

‘The bone caste system is essentially gone now!’

With its core gone, it was only a matter of time before the bone caste system collapsed.

Theo~nim has brought down the bone caste system!

Seeing the end of the bone caste system, which he had considered his lifelong mission,

“I must repay Theo~nim!”

Koto decided he must diligently repay this grace.

To do so, he needed to quickly finish the task at hand.

“New recruits! Use the Hellfire!”

Koto ordered the skeleton wizards to use the strongest magic created by Regius.

“Fire of death…”

“Power of the world that supports us…”

Following Koto’s instructions, the skeleton wizards gathered in circles of ten thousand and began chanting spells.

A moment later.

Woong.

The skeleton wizards who had finished preparing began to use the magic.

Then,

Fwoosh.

In an instant, an area with a diameter of 1 kilometer was engulfed in a giant blue flame, turning the flesh eaters into white ashes without even being able to scream,

Clatter. Clatter.

The ashes gathered and turned into more skeletons.

Fwoosh.

This happened almost simultaneously in dozens of places.

And then,

Clatter. Clatter.

Millions of skeletons born from the ashes charged at the flesh eaters, fighting until they died and returned to ashes.

Thanks to this, Sejun’s contribution soared at an incredible speed.

[You have successfully eradicated the eighth plague, the flesh eaters, on the 4th floor of the Black Tower.]

[Rewards will be given according to contribution.]

The flesh eaters disappeared from the 4th floor of the tower.

“What?! Already?!”

Then what about our Sejun’s contribution?!

Aileen, flustered, checked Sejun’s contribution.

[Black Tower 4th Floor Flesh Eater Extermination Contribution Rankings]

1st – Park Sejun (30,000,012)

···

..

.

“Khehehe. Great! Distribute rewards automatically except for 1st place! And show me the powers!”

Aileen, confirming that Sejun’s contribution had surpassed 30 million, smiled and pulled up the power list to find the power she had marked.

<Power: Fragile Young Dragon’s Bone> (Contribution 30 million)

Acquiring this power will replace the bones in the body with the bones of a fragile young dragon.

Dragons have this power from birth.

Usually, the term ‘fragile’ disappears after the first year, and the term ‘sturdy’ appears after ten years.

<Power: Fragile Young Dragon’s Bone> might be fragile enough to break with a touch for dragons, but compared to Sejun’s bones, it was like replacing straw with steel.

“Khehehe. Purchase power.”

When Aileen purchased the power,

[You have used 30 million contribution to purchase <Power: Fragile Young Dragon’s Bone> for Park Sejun, mid-level administrator and tower farmer of the Black Tower.]

[<Power: Fragile Young Dragon’s Bone> has been granted to the mid-level administrator mark of the Black Tower.]

An alarm appeared on the crystal orb.

“Sejun, endure the pain a little bit.”

Aileen cheered on for Sejun!

***

99th Floor of the Black Tower.

Suk. Ssuk.

[You have harvested the magical cherry tomatoes.]

[Your job experience slightly increases.]

[Your proficiency of Harvesting Lv. 8 slightly increases.]

[You have gained 70 experience points.]

While Sejun was harvesting cherry tomatoes,

Kking?

[What’s this?]

Blackie, who had been taking a nap inside the sling bag Sejun wore after breakfast, felt a slight pain in his stomach. He sensed something bad in his body.

It was because of the chocolate spread he had eaten. Although Sejun had unknowingly given it to him, chocolate spread was poison to wolves.

Is it poison?

Blackie gathered the poisonous energy separately using his core.

And then,

Boing.

He jumped out of Sejun’s sling bag,

Grr.

Went outside the farm, and expelled the poison through his rear end.

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hehehe. This level of poison can’t harm me, the great Blackie!]

Feeling better after expelling the poison, Blackie entered the kitchen with a much lighter step. With his stomach emptied, he felt hungry.

Slurp. Slurp. Slurp.

Blackie quenched his thirst by drinking milk from the milk fountain but,

Kking.

[This isn’t it.]

His hunger couldn’t be satisfied with just milk.

So he went to the storage and started eating various crops inside.

Kking!

[Today, I need to increase my magic power!]

He especially focused on eating cherry tomatoes and peanuts.

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hehehe. Gather!]

As his stomach filled, Blackie digested the food to add to the core. Thanks to his diligent eating, the core had grown to the size of a sunflower seed.

While Blackie was growing his core in the storage,

“Huh?! Who told you to eat here, Blackie?!”

Sejun, who had come into the storage with harvested cherry tomatoes, shouted when he saw Blackie making a mess on the storage floor.

Kking!

[Run away!]

Sensing he was about to get scolded by Sejun, Blackie hurriedly grabbed a corn cob and ran away.

“Blackie, you stop right there?!”

Sejun chased after the fleeing Blackie.

A moment later.

Hehe. Blackie, if you hide like that, of course I can see you.

Sejun spotted Blackie’s plump butt sticking out while only his eyes and ears were covered with leaves.

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hehehe. Now you won’t find me!]

Slurp. Slurp. Slurp.

Unaware, Blackie was enjoying the corn.

Just as Sejun was about to catch Blackie,

[The tower’s administrator grants <Power: Fragile Young Dragon’s Bone> to the mid-level administrator mark of the tower.]

[Replacing the bones in your body with the bones of a fragile young dragon.]

“Huh?”

What?! Replacing the bones?!

What kind of gruesome message is that…

As Sejun was trembling in fear looking at the message,

“Ugh!”

He felt intense pain and his consciousness began to fade.

Thank goodness.

Sejun thought it was fortunate that he could faint.

Thud.

As Sejun collapsed,

Kking?

[What was that noise?]

Blackie turned around.

Crack. Crack.

Kking!

[Hey! Use the core!]

Seeing Sejun’s bones being replaced with dragon bones, Blackie ran to Sejun,

Press. Press.

He activated the energy of the core in Sejun’s body by stepping on him, helping the fragile young dragon’s bones settle properly in Sejun’s body.

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hehehe. I should make his bones a bit sturdier with this chance!]

He’s too weak.

While strengthening.

[<Power: Fragile Young Dragon’s Bone> absorbs 2% of the purified Fenrir’s core fragment’s power and gets enhanced.]

[<Power: Fragile Young Dragon’s Bone> has been enhanced to <Power: Sturdy Young Dragon’s Solid Bone>.]

Thanks to this, the power was greatly enhanced. But it became even more painful.

“Argh!”

Sejun screamed while still unconscious.

***

1st Floor of the Green Tower.

“Meow?!”

It sounded like Chairman Park’s scream just now, meow! But… his energy has gotten stronger, meow!

Theo, who had been enjoying grilled fish on the roof of the shop, raised his head briefly. Sensing that Sejun was alright, he resumed eating his grilled fish with relief.

Theo’s Sejun knee detector worked normally, even across different towers.

“Puhuhut. The grilled fish made with Chairman Park’s dedication is delicious, meow!”

While Theo was eating the grilled fish,

Goooooo.

Suddenly, a massive aura from the sky began to engulf the surroundings.

“What, meow?!”

At this rate, all my slaves will die, meow!

Theo hurriedly used his talent: Energy Drain to absorb the spreading aura at full power.

Then,

Flash!

He quickly took out money from his bag and burned it, and

Shing.

Extended his dragon claws and attacked the being emitting the energy.

However,

······

Theo’s attack did not reach the opponent and dispersed naturally.

“So you’re Theo? Ahem. Nice to meet you. I am the great Green Dragon, Ophelia Iorg.”

A beautiful woman with green hair, who had blocked Theo’s attack, introduced herself with a bright smile.

However,

“Meow! Nice to meet you, Chairman Park’s slave, Ophelia, meow!”

At Theo’s words, Ophelia’s expression twisted.
