Solo Farming In The Tower

: Vice Chairman Theo, Let's Go!

TL: Hanguk

The world of Inos, in the midst of destruction due to the invasion of the fifth calamity, the slimes.

The surviving Inos tribe, humanoid beings with soft, fluffy fur only around their arms and legs like arm warmers, banded together to form a massive defense line.

And then…

“If we lose this place, Inos is doomed!”

“We must protect it at all costs!”

They were preparing for their final battle to protect the last remaining Brown Tower.

At that moment,

(Pip-pip!)

A golden bat suddenly appeared between them and the slimes.

“What is that?”

“Is this a new calamity?!”

The Inos tribe tensed up, observing the cute, small figure of Paespaes, who possessed tremendous power despite its adorable appearance.

(Pip-pip Storm Fist!)

But Paespaes didn’t pay any attention to the Inos tribe and instead created magic blades with its wings, slashing through the slimes.

In reality, eliminating slimes is extremely tricky. You have to target its core to eliminate it, but the core moves quickly within the slime’s body.

However,

(Pip-pip Storm Fist!)

Flap. Flap.

In front of Paespaes, who unleashed thousands of magic blades, it was useless. He simply sliced through them all.

“Oh! It must be the guardian deity of Inos who came to protect us!”

“Glory to Inos! Glory to the guardian deity!”

“Let’s join our guardian deity in defeating the enemy!”

Seeing Paespaes annihilate the slimes, the Inos tribe, now full of courage, charged behind Paespaes and finished off the slimes whose cores hadn’t been completely destroyed.

The battle ended in an instant.

“Wow! We won!”

“Long live the guardian deity! Long live Inos!”

For the first time, the Inos tribe cheered in triumph, having won against the slimes.

The representatives of the Inos tribe approached Paespaes to express their gratitude.

And then,

(Pip-pip!)

“Huh?!”

“What is the guardian deity doing?”

They saw Paespaes flying around diligently, stuffing the corpses of the slimes into small holes.

“Um… Can we help you?”

Druica, the highest representative of the Inos tribe, cautiously approached Paespaes and spoke carefully.

(Pip-pip?! Who are you?)

Paespaes asked in a voice full of wariness, wondering if they were after the slime meat it had hunted.

“Ah, I apologize for the late introduction. I am Druica, the highest representative of the Inos tribe, though I am not worthy. O guardian deity.”

(Pip-pip? Guardian deity?)

“Yes. Aren’t you the guardian deity of our Inos tribe?”

(Pip-pip! No way! I’m Paespaes, the subordinate of Sejun-nim!)

“Oh, my apologies. You must be the apostle of Sejun-nim, the guardian deity of Inos.”

(Pip-pip?! Uh… yeah, right?)

Paespaes had intended to deny it initially.

But then…

‘Apostle?! That sounds pretty cool!’

Paespaes, the apostle of Park Sejun, the farmer of the Black Tower!

It really liked the title.

“Listen, everyone!”

In the meantime, Druica began to introduce Paespaes to all the Inos tribe.

“This is the apostle of Sejun-nim, the guardian deity of Inos…”

(Pip-pip! It’s Park Sejun! The guardian deity’s name is Park Sejun!)NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

“Oh, yes! This is the apostle of Park Sejun, the guardian deity of Inos, Paespaes-nim!”

“Waaah!!!”

“Thank you, Paespaes-nim, apostle of Park Sejun!”

At Druica’s introduction, the Inos tribe fervently expressed their gratitude to Paespaes.

“Apostle of the guardian deity Park Sejun, Paespaes-nim, please allow us to assist you.”

(Pip-pip! Yes! Let’s do this together!)

“Put the slime meat in here!”

“Yes!”

The Inos tribe helped Paespaes by stuffing the slime meat into the dimensional gate.

As thousands of chunks of slime meat, each the size of a baseball, passed through the dimensional gate,

Something incredible happened – the gate, which previously required opening hundreds of times just to grow slightly, now started to visibly expand.

Ah! It wasn’t a matter of the number of times!

Thanks to this, Paespaes realized that in order to grow the dimensional gate, it wasn’t about opening it frequently but rather passing a large amount of items through it.

Up until now, only the small-bodied Paespaes had been passing through the dimensional gate, which is why its growth had been slow.

At that moment,

Wobble. Wobble.

A group of slimes started approaching the area.

(Pip-pip! Everyone, keep putting the slime meat in!)

Paespaes instructed the Inos tribe to continue putting the slime meat into the dimensional gate.

(Pip-pip Storm Fist!)

(Pip-pip Fooo!)

(Pip-pip Divine Palm!)

(Pip-pip Step!)

Using the skills of its hyungs, Paespaes diligently roamed around Inos for hours, seriously exterminating the slimes.

Now that Park Sejun’s name had been spread as the guardian deity of Inos, Paespaes couldn’t just let the slimes wreak havoc.

And so, Paespaes annihilated all the slimes that had invaded Inos.

(Pip-pip… I’m so tired now.)

The fatigue from fighting the slimes and the burden of passing items through the dimensional gate came crashing down all at once.

(Pip-pip! Thank you, everyone! Then I’ll be going!)

“Farewell!”

“Long live Apostle Paespaes-nim! Long live Guardian Deity Park Sejun-nim!”

With the Inos tribe bidding it farewell, Paespaes returned to the 99th floor of the Black Tower.

(Pip-pip… I need to make sure Sejun-nim knows what I did…)

With its tired body, Paespaes made a sign and placed it in front of the pile of slime meat.

(Flamie-nim, I’m back…)

As soon as Paespaes greeted Flamie,

Baerorong.

It immediately hugged Sejun’s arm and fell asleep.

Seed Shop Headquarters.

“Why is there no news?”

Myrna, the God of Dragons, who had been diligently making dragon fruits seeds to sell to the Seed Shop, spoke with a slightly dejected voice.

Recently, Sejun had sprouted a transcendence grade seed for Po, the God of Jelly and the youngest of the non-combat gods. As a result, Po gained a substantial amount of divine power and even a temple.

“Older sisters and brothers, I’ll treat you from now on!”

Out of gratitude for the divine power he had received until now, Po was energetically sharing divine power with the other non-combat gods.

And

I’m so envious…

Mirna could only watch with envious eyes.

So she was eagerly waiting for Sejun to harvest the dragon fruit.

At that moment,

[Park Sejun, Tower Farmer of the Black Tower, has sprouted a transcendence grade seed and harvested dragon fruits.]

[You have received 50,000 divine power as a reward for the harvest.]

[Park Sejun, Tower Farmer of the Black Tower, has built a temple for you.]

[Your divine power has increased by 100.]

[Since the temple is located next to the Creator God’s Tablet, the amount of divine power you receive is doubled due to the Creator God’s blessing.]

[3,000 Mushroom Ants, tenant farmers of Park Sejun, have witnessed your temple.]

[Your divine power has increased by 0.6.]

…

..

.

“Oh! As expected from Park Sejun! I believed in you!”

Myrna, the God of Dragons was moved as she read the messages.

Transcendence grade seeds, unlike ordinary seeds, provided a massive amount of divine power when they grew and were harvested.

On top of that, Sejun had built the long-awaited temple.

Trust-in-Park was always right.

“Hehehe. Just wait a little longer.”

I need to finish making this quickly and head out to distribute some divine power!

With renewed energy, Myrna began working on the dragon fruit seeds with enthusiasm.

Harvest Festival – Day 6 Morning.

“Alright!”

Sejun energetically woke up, ready to face another day.

[100,000 residents of <Inos> have proclaimed you as the Guardian Deity of <Inos>.]

[You lack the necessary divinity to become the Guardian Deity of <Inos>.]

[Please designate a proxy guardian deity to become the guardian deity of <Inos> in your place.]

[You can revoke the proxy guardian deity’s qualifications at any time.]

A strange message appeared in front of Sejun’s eyes.

“Huh? Me, a guardian deity?”

What are they talking about all of a sudden?

Plus, a proxy guardian deity…

“Hm.”

There’s no reason to refuse what’s given. Then who should I designate as the proxy guardian deity?

As Sejun was pondering,

[Good morning, Master!]

Flamie, noticing Sejun had woken up, cheerfully greeted him in the morning.

“Yeah, good morning. You weren’t bored at night, were you?”

[Not at all! As long as I’m on Sejun-nim’s palm, I’m never bored!]

Flamie, as usual, spoke sweetly.

Meow…

Kking…

After making sure Theo and the Blackie family, who were still asleep, were settled, Sejun got up.

“Let’s go outside and get some sunlight.”

[Yes!]

He went outside to let Flamie bask in the sunlight.

And then

“Huh?!”

Slime?!

He spotted a giant slime. It was so enormous that it looked like a mountain had suddenly appeared.

But upon closer inspection

“Oh? Wait, no.”

It wasn’t a slime, but rather a massive pile of slime meat, consisting of millions of pieces.

“Hehehe. What’s all this meat?”

With a wide grin, Sejun approached the pile of meat.

“What’s this?”

[Sejun-nim, please enjoy the meat. – From Paespaes]

Sejun found a sign neatly written in Korean by Paespaes.

“So, Paespaes brought all this?”

Sejun, wanting to praise Paespaes, thought for a moment.

But where is Paespaes?

With Sejun’s current abilities, there was no way to find Paespaes while he was in stealth mode.

“Vice Chairman Theo, where’s Paespaes?”

“Are you talking about Paespaes, meow?”

Theo, who had been climbing around Sejun’s body, paused.

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, Paespaes is right here, meow!”

Theo pointed to the back of Sejun’s head.

“Really? Paespaes, thanks.”

Sejun patted the back of his head to express his gratitude.

Then

(Behehehe…)

A faint chuckle from Paespaes could be heard, though it was unclear if Sejun had patted the right spot.

As Sejun was busy patting Paespaes,

Kuuuooooooong!

Kueng! Kueng!

[Meat! There’s so much meat!]

Cuengi, who was coming while holding Pink-fur’s front paws, got excited discovering the meat.

A little while later.

“Hehehe. Guys, eat as much as you want.”

Sejun began moving pots filled with various dishes made from slime meat – boiled pork slices (suyuk), spicy stir-fry (duruchigi), braised spicy meat stew (jjageuli), pork cutlets (donkatsu) – out of the kitchen.

“Sejun No.1, this time make some sweet and sour pork.”

Nod.

Following Sejun’s order, Sejun No.1 started making sweet and sour pork.

As soon as Sejun No.1 finished preparing the dish,

Woong.

Sejun infused magic into the ingredients, for creating an enormous amount of sweet and sour pork.

Because Sejun No.1 was considered to be the same as Sejun, even the dishes that Sejun No.1 made within an hour could be recreated using Sejun’s Master-level cooking skill.

Thanks to this, Sejun was able to churn out food without cooking himself, and everyone had a feast from the start of the morning.

Kuehehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehe. So full! Cuengi can’t eat anymore!]

“Uhehehe, me too… I’m so stuffed.”

As Cuengi and Uren, who had been the last ones to put their spoons down, patted their bellies, enjoying their fullness,

[Seed Shop is now open.]

A message appeared in front of Sejun.

The 13th Seed Shop had opened.

[Park Sejun-nim’s rank is Transcendent.]

[Seven types of seeds, including transcendence grade seeds, will be shown randomly for today’s sale.]

[At your current rank, you can purchase as many seeds as you want within a 500 Tower Coins limit.]

[Seed of Abundance (Transcendence grade) – 350 Tower Coins + 1000 pieces of World’s Energy]

[Starfruit Seed (Transcendence grade) – 100 Tower Coins + 250 pieces of World’s Energy]

[100 Acorn Seeds – 40 Tower Coins]

[20 Japanese Pumpkin Seeds – 30 Tower Coins]

[100 Peanut Seeds – 10 Tower Coins]

…

..

.

“Well, I’ll definitely buy the two Transcendence grade seeds, which leaves me with 50 Tower Coins… I guess I’ll buy acorns.”

Among the five types of seeds aside from the two Transcendence grade ones, the only one Sejun didn’t have was acorns, so he decided to buy the acorn seeds.

Thanks to the World’s Energy coins that Piyot and Uren had collected while fighting the Apostles of Destruction, and

-Apostle of Destruction Coins?

-I tossed all those out because they had the ugly faces of those Apostles on them, and I found them unlucky!

-You’re saying I can exchange those for alcohol from now on?!

-Really?! I must have some stashed away somewhere…

After the previous Seed Shop transaction, Sejun had asked the dragons for help, and thanks to the coins they collected after defeating Jǫrmungandr, he wasn’t short on them.

“I’ll buy these three.”

When Sejun completed his purchase of seeds:

[You have spent a total of 490 Tower Coins and 1,250 pieces of World’s Energy to purchase the Seed of Abundance, Starfruit Seed, and Acorn Seed.]

[490 Tower Coins have been deducted from the account of Park Sejun at the Seed Bank.]

[4,900 ppoints have been earned in Seed Shop mileage.]

[A total of 10,001 Seed Shop mileage points have been accumulated.]

[1,250 pieces of World’s Energy have been deducted.]

[1,250 Seed Shop coupons have been issued.]

[The items you can currently exchange for are: Seed Shop Seed Exchange Ticket (500 coupons) and Seed Shop Random Period Reduction Ticket (100 coupons).]

[Please exchange for items until your Seed Shop coupons are reduced to below 100.]

“I’ll exchange one Seed Exchange Ticket and seven Seed Shop Random Period Reduction Ticket.”

Out of curiosity, Sejun got one Exchange Ticket and used the rest of his coupons on Seed Shop Random Period Reduction Ticket.

Hehehe. This time, Vice Chairman Theo is right next to me!

It was possible the Seed Shop might reopen in just a few minutes.

[Thank you for using the Seed Shop.]

[You can use Seed Shop Lv. 4 again in 30 days.]

Once the Seed Shop closed, three seed pouches appeared in Sejun’s hand, along with one white coupon and seven yellow coupons.

Hehehe. Vice Chairman Theo, let’s go!

“Puhuhut. Good, meow! Let’s go, meow!”

Thinking they were really going somewhere, Theo placed his two front paws into Sejun’s hands.

Rip.

Sejun boldly tore open a Seed Shop Random Period Reduction Ticket.
