Solo Farming In The Tower

TL: Hanguk

PR: MiniPixelZ

99th floor of the Black Tower.

“Hm hm hm.”

If she doesn’t like roasted and dried sweet potatoes, what should I give? What would she like?

Thinking about what food to give in return to Corruption, who had sent the Ogre and the Planet-Destroying Turtle, Sejun returned to the Black Tower through the dimensional gate.

“Huh?!”

What’s wrong with it?!

In Sejun’s eyes appeared Baby Ginseng, whose leaves had turned yellow.

“Are you sick?”

Pat, pat.

Sejun quickly used the skill Farmer’s Warm Touch to treat Baby Ginseng.

Then Baby Ginseng’s leaves changed back to a fresh green, as if they had never wilted.

“Whew. That’s a relief.”

Seeing it getting better, Sejun sighed in relief, having been worried about Baby Ginseng.

And then,

“Baby Ginseng, what do you need?”

He asked while stroking Baby Ginseng’s leaves.

However,

[……]

Baby Ginseng gave no answer. Unlike the other baby herbs, it was taciturn.

Or maybe it couldn’t speak?

Sejun gazed silently at Baby Ginseng while stroking its leaves.

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I want 10,000-year exclusive rights to your knees, meow!”

“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Please make me as many peanut stir-fries as there are meteorites!”

Kuehehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehe. Cuengi wants rice cakes and honey as big as mom!]

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hehe. Butler! Great Blackie demands as many roasted and dried sweet potatoes as big as the old Kabulto’s size!]

Instead of Baby Ginseng, the companions spoke up about what they wanted.

Not you guys.

Of course, Sejun simply ignored them.

After a while.

Thump. Thump.

Kuong.

[Sejun-nim, good morning.]

As Pink-fur approached Sejun, who was stroking Baby Ginseng, Sejun stopped petting it and,

“Yeah. Pink-fur, good morning. Wait just a moment.”

He headed to the kitchen. Meanwhile, Baby Ginseng’s leaves slowly turned yellow again.

Unaware of that,

“Cooking.”

Sejun replicated the choco pie made by Sejun No. 12 and filled Pink-fur’s snack pouch.

He ran short of chocolate midway, but

“Puhuhut. Mud-nim, give me chocolate bricks, meow!”

Theo promptly brought some over.

“Here.”

Thanks to that, Sejun was able to fully fill Pink-fur’s snack pouch and handed it over.

Kuhoho.

Pink-fur slung the snack pouch diagonally and let out a happy chuckle before heading off for special training.

And,

“Guys, let’s eat.”

Sejun called his companions to eat breakfast.

Once the meal ended,

“Puhuhut. Great Hybrid Chairman Park, I’ll go earn lots of money, meow!”

“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. I’ll head out too!”

Kuehehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehe. Dad Cuengi is going to work too!]

“Okay. Be careful.”

Sejun sent Theo’s couple and Cuengi off to work and headed to the farm with Blackie for farming.

However,

“Huh?! It withered again already.”

Seeing Baby Ginseng looking unwell again on his way, Sejun sat in front of it and diligently treated it using the Farmer’s Warm Touch skill.

Today, I’ll make it grow.

At the same time, he tried various ways to make Baby Ginseng grow.

Using lots of nutrients, infusing magic power, singing songs, etc.

However, none were effective and

Groooar.

Sejun dozed off.

Hehe. Butler is sleeping!

Watching Sejun, Blackie lay stretched between Sejun’s thighs,

Kkirorong.

And fell asleep quickly.

How much time passed like that?

Sararack.

From the heads of Sejun and the Blackie Family, a shimmering energy began to flow and was absorbed by Baby Ginseng.

And then,

[Sejun-nim, Blackie Family, thank you for sharing your dreams.]

Baby Ginseng, having absorbed the dreams of Sejun and the Blackie Family, expressed gratitude and

Srrrk.

Disappeared.

Paat!

At the same time, Sejun’s body shone brightly. The quest was completed and he became an SS-class Tower Farmer.

Thus, in the place where Baby Ginseng had disappeared,

Kuuuuh.

Krrrng… Kking…

[Grrrrng… Give great Blackie some roasted and dried sweet potatoes…]

Only Sejun’s snoring and Blackie’s sleep-talking were heard.

***

Forest of Creation.

[Oh! You’re here!]

Ginseng appeared before a tree so enormous that its size was immeasurable.

[Hehe. Welcome. I’ve been waiting.]

Flamie greeted Ginseng warmly.

[But… did you bring that too?]

When Flamie asked while looking at the massive roasted and dried sweet potato that Ginseng brought,

[Yes. Somehow…]

Ginseng shyly tried to hide the roasted and dried sweet potato, which was far larger than itself, behind its body as much as possible. As if it absolutely could not be taken away.

It had brought it along, unable to fully digest it during the process of absorbing Blackie’s dream.

[You better eat that quickly and get rid of it. If Blackie finds out later, it’ll be chaos.]

[Yes. I’ll eat it quickly!]

Munch. Munch.

Smiling brightly at Flamie’s words, Ginseng eagerly ate the roasted and dried sweet potato.

It even brought its own supplement. What a good kid.

Flamie looked at Ginseng with pride.

And then,

Those guys should learn from Ginseng…

[Alright! Put it in your mouth at one! Swallow at two! One!]

[One…] [One…] [One…] [One…]

[Two!]

[……] [……] [……] [……]

[Hey! Swallow it quickly! Two-!]

Flamie looked pitifully at He Shou Wu, Extreme Flame Herb, Extreme Ice Herb, and Ten-thousand Poison Herb struggling to take supplements in sync with Sausage’s commands.

Ginseng, though the last to arrive, was the most praised of all.

***

“Hmm.”

Sejun opened his eyes after dozing off briefly.

“Huh?!”

Where did Ginseng go?

His heart dropped at the sight of the missing Baby Ginseng.

And then,

Kking?! Kking!

[Butler! What’s wrong?! Great Blackie will solve it!]

Half-awake and unable to open its eyes, Blackie barked while looking toward the opposite side of Sejun.

“It’s nothing.”

Sejun picked up and comforted Blackie.

[Baby Ginseng has grown into Ginseng after consuming quality dreams.]

[Baby Ginseng has returned to its rightful place.]

[You have completed the promotion quest.]

So it was a child that fed on dreams.

Sejun understood the reason for Baby Ginseng’s disappearance upon reading the message.

Too bad I couldn’t even say goodbye.

Regretful, Sejun checked the next message.

[The rank of Tower Farmer (S) has increased.]

[You have become a Tower Farmer (SS).]

[As your rank has increased, your job traits have been strengthened.]

[As your rank has increased, one additional job trait has been added.]

[With you new job trait, you can now create 100 seeds per day of crops you’ve harvested more than 100 million times.]

“What kind of thing is this?”

Sejun grumbled at the newly acquired job trait. Most of the crops he’d harvested over a hundred million times were ones that he already had plenty of seeds for.

And so, Sejun became an SS-class Tower Farmer.

“Blackie, I’m now an SS-class Tower Farmer!”

“Aileen, I became an SS-class Tower Farmer!”

He quickly boasted to those around him.

Kihihit. Kking! Kking!

[Hehe. Butler! Congratulations! But even so, you’re still just an SS-class Sunfish Butler, so don’t get cocky and go make some roasted and dried sweet potatoes for Great Blackie!]

“Blackie, run 10 laps around the farm! If you don’t run, know that there won’t be roasted and dried sweet potatoes for you!”

Though Blackie tried to offer some honest advice, Sejun scolded him.

[The Tower’s Administrator cheerfully congratulates you.]

[The Tower’s Administrator also voices concern that you should not overdo things just because you’re an SS-class Tower Farmer, as you’re still weak.]

Aileen also expressed something similar to Blackie, but

“Okay. Aileen, is there anything you’d like to eat? Since my rank went up, I’m planning to throw a celebration party for dinner.”

Sejun agreed obediently with Aileen and asked what dish she wanted.

Why only Great Blackie?!

Blackie glared at Sejun with questioning eyes, but

Why?! What?! It’s my choice.

“Run 20 laps quickly.”

Kking?! Kking!

[Why?! Just a moment ago you said 10 laps!]

“30 laps.”

Kking…

The punishment increased as a price for giving Sejun a questioning look and souring his mood.

Meanwhile,

[The Tower’s Administrator says she wants to eat 100-layer pancake after a long time.]

Aileen said the dish she wanted and,

“Got it!”

After receiving the menu, Sejun had Sejun No. 12 prepare the dishes for the dinner party.

A short while later.

Kking…

As soon as Blackie completed 10 laps, Sejun,

“Blackie, let’s go.”

Kihihit.

He called Blackie, placed him in the sling bag, and moved to the herb field to inform Cuengi that he had become an SS-class Tower Farmer.

On the way to the herb field,

“Hehehe. Podori, I’m now an SS-class Tower Farmer.”

“Poisonous Bee No. 313,919, I’m now an SS-class Tower Farmer.”

“Mushroom Ant No. 20,045, I’ve become an SS-class Tower Farmer.”

Sejun joyfully boasted to those he met on the way that he had become an SS-class Tower Farmer.

Then,

Sniff sniff.

Kueng?

[Smells like Dad?]

Cuengi, who was tending to the herb field, caught Sejun’s scent.

Looking around to find the source of the smell, Cuengi’s eyes spotted

Pluck. Pluck. Pluck.

A Dragon Fruit, in Sejun’s form, expertly pulling up kudzu that had sneakily invaded another herb field.

It was a Dragon Fruit clone using Sejun’s Transplanting and Weed Pulling skills, working as a kudzu root harvesting specialist in the herb field.

Thanks to the synergy between Transplanting and Weed Pulling, it was possible to pull out kudzu roots cleanly without digging much.

This Dragon Fruit pulling weeds doesn’t smell like Dad!

Sniff sniff.

Cuengi focused more intensely on the scent.

Dad’s smell is getting closer! Dad is coming!

Realizing that Sejun was on his way, Cuengi ran out to greet him.

Moments later.

“Cuengi! Dad’s become an SS-class Tower Farmer!”

Sejun proudly informed Cuengi, who came out to greet him.

Kuehehehe! Kueng! Kueng! Kueng!

[Hehehe. Congratulations on becoming an SS-class Tower Farmer, Dad! But don’t overdo it! If it’s tough, Cuengi will handle it!]

Cuengi not only congratulated Sejun but also, like Blackie and Aileen, earnestly reminded him not to push himself. A fillial child who always worried about his sunfish-like dad.

Kueng!

[Then I’ll quickly finish the remaining work and be back!]

“Okay. See you later.”

Cuengi returned to the herb field, and

“Where should I go to brag next? Oh. There’s Minotaur King and Pink-fur!”

Sejun headed north.

After running quickly for about 30 minutes,

Kwaang!

Kwagwang!

Loud explosions could be heard from afar.

“Are they sparring?”

Since it would be dangerous to get close.

“Blackie, bark!”

Kihihit. Kking! Kking! Kking!

[Hehe. Butler! Got it! Butler and Great Blackie are here! Come out and meet us quickly!]

Sejun had Blackie bark to announce their arrival.

Perhaps hearing Blackie’s bark, the explosions soon stopped.

Thump thump. Thump thump.

Moo!

[Sejun-nim, welcome!]

Five Black Minotaurs came out to greet Sejun from afar, and he joined them to reach where the Minotaur King and Pink-fur were.

Wow. How do you fight to change the ground like this?

He was shocked to see the flat land turned into dozens of massive craters and tall mountains.

And then,

Moo!

Moo!

Other Black Minotaurs were seen demolishing mountains to fill in the craters.

Are they restoring it to a plain again?

As expected, the land-cultivating skills of the Black Minotaurs were incredible.

Makes me want to put them to use.

Watching the Black Minotaurs, Sejun thought about expanding his fields.

It wasn’t that he lacked crops, but it felt wasteful not to use such labor power.

Normally, one would think to deploy Black Minotaurs in battle, but Sejun, being an SS-class Tower Farmer, only thought about farming.

Where should I deploy them?

Or maybe I should overturn the fields once?

As Sejun was contemplating where to utilize the Black Minotaurs,

Moo?

[Sejun-nim, what brings you here?]

Kuong?

[Did something happen?]

The Minotaur King and Pink-fur approached and asked.

“No, it’s not that. I became an SS-class Tower Farmer!”

Sejun boasted.

Moo! Moo!

[Congratulations! But since you haven’t gotten much stronger, please be careful with your body!]

Kuong! Kuong!

[Congratulations, Sejun-nim! But don’t overexert yourself just because you reached SS-class!]

104.28.193.250

The Minotaur King and Pink-fur offered both congratulations and concern.

As expected, the farm members who had experienced many of Sejun’s sunfish-like moments were more worried that the now SS-class Sejun might recklessly put himself in danger.

Meanwhile,

Why does he only get angry at Great Blackie for saying the same thing?

Blackie tilted his head, baffled by the unsolved mystery.
