Solo Farming In The Tower

: Follow the Great Lord Blackie!

TL: Hanguk

The outskirts of Destruction.

“Damn it! What the hell is Fenrir doing inside the Black Tower?”NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Halphas raged as he looked at the giant tower that had grown slightly taller after an upgrade inside the Black Tower.

Although its appearance hadn’t changed much, its aura had become several times stronger.

At that moment, one of the orbs around, which had been dyed red halfway with destruction, quickly turned transparent.

“Huh?!”

Halphas turned his head to check the orb.

“This is the place where Fenrir directly took control of Destruction.”

Fenrir, you incompetent fool! You couldn’t even destroy this small world and got pushed back instead!

Due to the bitter memories of being utterly defeated by Fenrir in the past, it seemed Halphas had overestimated Fenrir’s abilities.

Now he could no longer wait for Fenrir!

“Everyone, gather around!”

Halphas summoned the other Apostles of Destruction.

And then,

“Send fragments to the Black Tower and find Fenrir!”

He ordered the apostles of destruction to bring Fenrir back.

“And if Fenrir has lost his power, you may annihilate him and absorb his core fragments.”

“Yes!”

At Halphas’s words, the Apostles of Destruction began sending fragments to the Black Tower in a hurry.

***

[You have arrived on the 99th floor of the Black Tower.]

“When returning, we come back to the 99th floor of the tower, huh.”

Sejun said as he looked around. He was at the waypoint in the center.

Come to think of it, it was fortunate.

If he hadn’t been wearing the Grapevine Bracelet of Sealing and hadn’t put the kids in the Void Storage when he went to the 1st floor of the tower, it would have been a disaster.

“Aileen, I’m back.”

Sejun immediately reported his return to Aileen.

[The tower administrator asks if you had a good time with your family.]

“Yeah! It was great. Aileen, here’s some food I brought from Earth, try it.”

Sejun took out delivery food such as chicken, pizza, and tteokbokki from the Void Storage and sent it to Aileen.

[The tower administrator says she’ll enjoy it.]

“Let me know if you need more. I’ll give you more. Aileen, by the way, I’ve heard you’re learning to cook from my mom these days? Is it not difficult?”

Sejun was looking for an opportunity to tell her not to cook.

Say it’s hard! Say it’s difficult! Please let me cook!

Sejun prayed earnestly in his heart, but

[The tower administrator says it’s not difficult at all.]

[The tower administrator says it’s so much fun.]

Sejun’s prayers went unanswered.

[The tower administrator says she made some food for you.]

“Huh?”

Instead, a trial that betrayed Sejun’s prayers arrived.

[The tower administrator says she made 100 fried eggs.]

A hundred?!

A huge trial.

A plate with 100 fried eggs appeared in front of Sejun.

And

‘Phew. Thank goodness.’

Sejun, who had expected completely burnt, coal-like fried eggs, felt a great sense of relief when he saw the undercooked eggs.

Normally, this level of cooking would be considered a failure, but

Aileen didn’t burn the food?! My Aileen really worked hard.

Perhaps because he had expected the worst, Sejun was greatly satisfied with Aileen’s cooking.

It’s better to have it undercooked.

Thinking of it as half-cooked fried eggs, it was quite edible.

At that moment,

[The tower administrator nervously tells you to try it quickly.]

Aileen, anxious about whether her cooking was okay, urged Sejun to try the fried eggs.

“Okay.”

Sejun picked up a half-cooked egg and put it whole into his mouth.

Though it was a bit raw and a smelled a bit fishy,

Hehehe. It’s edible.

The joy of not having to eat charcoal fried eggs made Sejun’s lips curl into a smile.

Hehe. Sejun smiled while eating my cooking! It must be really delicious!

Thanks to that, Aileen’s confidence in her cooking soared,

Mother is the best! I have to learn even harder!

Aileen thought she should learn to cook even more diligently from Kim Mi-ran.

Gulp.

Without realizing that he had ignited Aileen’s enthusiasm for cooking, Sejun swallowed the fried egg.

Ppyak!

[Uncle, I’m going down now!]

The Black Rabbit was preparing to leave. Sejun thought he would stay a bit longer, but it seemed he missed ChuChu after not seeing her for a few days.

“Take this with you.”

Sejun packed some Earth food for the Black Rabbit.

“Take care, meow!”

Kueng!

[Goodbye, big brother!]

Kking!

[I’ll allow you to spread the word that you ate with the great lord Blackie!]

After seeing off the Black Rabbit,

“Toryong.”

Sejun called Toryong and headed home.

“I’m back.”

As soon as he arrived, he went to find the dragons to let them know he had returned.

-Kwahaha. Did our Sejun have a good trip?

“Yes.”

-Hahaha. Did you deliver our gifts well?

“Yes…”

Since Blackie, who went after selling the jewels, must have delivered joy to the parents with his cuteness. It must be so.

Kkirorong.

How can you sleep now?!

Sejun glanced at Blackie, who was sleeping in the sling bag, while answering.

“This is food I brought from Earth.”

Sejun also shared Earth food with the four leaders.

And then,

“Finally, home!”

He went inside and threw himself onto the bed and

Kerororor.

Fell asleep.

***

The next morning.

“Ah. I slept well.”

Sejun stretched and opened his eyes.

And then,

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

[Saphi, the God of Sapphire, who was sealed in the Earth’s Jewel, is released from the seal.]

[Saphi, the God of Sapphire, repays the favor to the one who released his seal.]

[Saphi, the God of Sapphire, creates a Sapphire Path on a 3.3 square meters piece of land to repay his benefactor.]

[During sleep, 10% of your life force has been stored.]

[The Life Orb is 9.22% complete.]

[0.1 magic power has been accumulated over 24 hours.]

[Magic power has increased by 0.1.]

Sapphire?

After checking the messages,

Gororong.

Kkirorong.

He took the sleeping Theo and Blackie, who were sleeping, and got up to mark the date on the wall.

Even though he had brought the Hunter phone when he returned yesterday, he preferred marking the wall himself as he had gotten used to it.

A little later,

“Oh! It really is sapphire.”

Saphi~nim, I’ll give you 9.9 square meters out of 33 square meters. (TL: 3 pyeong out of 10 pyeong is the actual numbers before conversion)

Thunk.

Sejun opened the Space Expansion Pouch on his waist and took out the Myler’s hoe to create the Saphi Path.

And then,

“Land Moving!”

[Saphi Road]

– Saphi, the God of Sapphire, who repaid us with sparkling sapphires. He was a cool god.

After confirming the reward from Saphi, the God of Sapphire, Sejun created a 9.9 square meters Saphi Road.

In the past, he would have received only a 3.3 square meters reward, but

I need money.

Since he brought almost all the food ingredients from Earth, money had become more important to Sejun now.

He needed to save money to go back to Earth.

Hence, the reward related to wealth had increased.

“Let’s take out the rest of the equipment too.”

While taking out the equipment, Sejun put on the equipment he had taken off.

Plop.

While taking out the equipment, something fell out of the pouch onto the floor.

“Huh? This is…”

It was the pouch containing the Destruction Devourer Seed that Theo had picked up yesterday.

“Right. I need to check this.”

Sejun opened the pouch and examined the seed.

[Destruction Devourer Seed]

→ The Magical Cherry Tomato of Park Sejun, the Black Tower’s Tower Farmer, evolved into a mutant Cherry Tomato under the influence of chemicals and further evolved into a Flesh Eater after being contaminated by Destruction. The seed of the Flesh Eater has now evolved into a new form after being purified of Destruction’s power.

→ It hates the power of Destruction, and when the power of Destruction is nearby, it devours and eliminates it.

→ It digests the devoured power of Destruction and emits the energy of Creation.

→ Grade: E

“What is this?”

Was this originally my Magical Cherry Tomato?

As Sejun was surprised while reading the description,

[You have achieved an accomplishment by creating a new variety in the tower.]

…

..

.

[Due to your job trait, all stats increase by 10.]

A message appeared indicating the achievement of creating a new variety.

“That’s nice.”

A new variety that he gained for free.

Sejun laughed and moved to the field to plant the Destruction Devourer Seed.

[You have planted the Destruction Devourer Seed in magic-infused soil.]

[Your job experience has slightly increased.]

[Due to Destruction Devourer seeds listening to the sound of the farmer’s footsteps, the effect of Magic Seed Sowing Lv. 9 has been enhanced.]

[With the effect of Magic Seed Sowing Lv. 9, the growth rate of Destruction Devourer seeds will double for the next 24 hours.]

[Due to the effect of Magic Sowing Lv. 9, some of the tower farmer’s aura is infused in the Destruction Devourer seeds.]

[Your proficiency in Magic Seed Sowing Lv. 9 has slightly increased.]

When Sejun planted the Destruction Devourer Seed,

Sssrk.

The Destruction Devourer quickly grew and appeared above the ground.

It was small, about the height of Sejun’s instep, but it had everything the Flesh Eater had, from the red cherry tomato head to the moving roots.

The grown Destruction Devourer looked around and then,

Kiki.

It giggled weirdly as if it found something, and started waddling toward the cornfield.

Why is a crop moving?

While Sejun was bewildered watching the walking Destruction Devourer, it arrived at the corn field after walking diligently.

Hap. Hap.

It opened its mouth wide and began to devour something from the air.

Is it eating the energy of Destruction?

It seemed to be consuming the energy of Destruction emanating from the core fragment of Fenrir buried in the cornfield.

After a while,

The Destruction Devourer seemed to be full from eating the energy of Destruction, as it grew slightly taller and its cheeks puffed up.

Then,

Burp.

The Destruction Devourer let out a big burp, releasing a blue mist.

And then,

[You have achieved the great feat of creation by spreading the energy of Creation into the world.]

A message appeared.

“Huh?”

A burp that spreads the energy of Creation? That’s a bit gross?

As Sejun frowned at the spreading blue mist,

[As a reward for the great feat of creation, the energy of Creation begins to spread back into the world again.]

[As a reward for the great feat of creation, the cost of staying on the 0th floor of the Black Tower is reduced by 7%.]

The achievement rewards appeared.

“Oh! 7 percent!”

Sejun was delighted as he read the message.

Originally 4%, plus another 7%, makes 11%, right?

It was getting easier and easier to go to Earth.

While reading the messages,

[A quest has been generated.]

[Quest: The energy of Creation is still too weak. Please raise the number of Destruction Devourers to 1 million and spread the power of Creation.]

Reward: 100 drops of Growth Elixir, Designate the Destruction Devourer as Calamity Guardians

A quest appeared.

Whether Calamity Guardians are good or bad can only be known when the quest is completed…

“Hehehe. They’re giving 100 drops of Growth Elixir?”

Sejun laughed and headed to the kitchen.

He wanted to complete the quest quickly, but he needed to fill his stomach first.

As Sejun was heading to the kitchen to prepare breakfast,

Kueng!

[Dad, good morning!]

Cuengi, who was walking from the opposite side, greeted Sejun when he saw him.

“Yeah. Cuengi, are you hungry? Let’s go eat.”

Kueng!

[Sounds good!]

Sejun arrived at the kitchen.

“What should we eat?”

Kimchi stew, japchae, chicken, pizza, jajangmyeon, sweet and sour pork, etc.

Having too many options was also a problem…

“No.”

I can just eat it all.

“Hehehe.”

Sejun took out all the foods he wanted to eat and placed them on the table, eating heartily with his companions.

After breakfast was over,

“Meow! Then I’ll be going, meow!”

Theo packed Earth food to give to Ophelia and left for work at the Green Tower, and

[You have planted the Destruction Devourer Seed in magic-infused soil.]

…

..

.

Sejun planted the Destruction Devourer Seed to complete the quest.

Sssrk.

As soon as it was planted, the Destruction Devourer started to grow.

Kiki.

The Destruction Devourers searched for the energy of Destruction around them, so Sejun didn’t need to move from his spot.

While Sejun was planting the Destruction Devourer seeds in place,

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hehe. Follow the great Lord Blackie!]

Kiki!

Kiki!

The Destruction Devourers were following Blackie closely in a line.

Blackie, who had gained control by swallowing Fenrir’s thoughts, was playing leader with the Destruction Devourers.
