Solo Farming In The Tower

Chapter 491: Kekeke. Finally, I Get to Sit Here!

TL: Hanguk

On the set of a advertisement filming in the U.S.

“Alright, Miel, just relax and act as naturally as possible.”

“Okay.”

At the director’s words, Miel confidently responded and began her acting.

“You evil monster! Take my Pineapple Bomb! You’ll explode from the deliciousness!”

Miel threw a pineapple at the giant leech costume as she delivered her scripted lines.

Thud.

Roll.

The pineapple hit the leech costume’s body and rolled across the floor.

“Del…icious…”

Thud.

The leech monster uttered a single word with difficulty before collapsing.

…

Miel almost broke character due to the overly contrived situation.

They said they’d handle the explosion and the leech monster’s smile with CG, right?

Imagining the explosion and the leech’s smile, she continued her acting.

“Hahaha. How does it feel?! To taste the Pineapple Bomb of Miel, the Bomb Mage?!”

“Hahaha. How do you like that?! The taste of Bomb Mage Miel’s pineapple bomb?!”

As Miel grabbed the leech monster by the collar and delivered her next line,

“One…more…”

The leech monster let out its final line, marking the end of the commercial shoot.

“Cut! Miel, great job. Your acting was fantastic.”

“Hahaha. Thank you.”

As Miel finished filming and chatted with the director,

“Miel, we need to leave now if we want to make it to the Hawaii Pineapple Festival.”

Miel’s manager approached, urging her to head to her next schedule.

“Ah, I’m sorry. I’ve got another engagement, so I’ll need to go.”

“Yes, I understand you’re quite busy these days. Please go ahead.”

After bidding the director farewell, Miel hurriedly left the set with her manager to get to her next appointment.

Miel, who had become famous for being the first person on Earth to use a Pineapple Bomb and discovering how to change her profession to Bomb Mage, had recently been receiving a flood of enthusiastic calls from people involved in the pineapple industry.

82nd floor of the Silver Tower.

Kueng! Kueng!

[Reverse Wind is a power that counters an enemy’s attack with an even stronger attack, combining Cuengi’s and the enemy’s attack forces into an even more powerful strike against the enemy! Dad would benefit from having it too!]

Yeah. It would be nice to have. But, son, you’ve got it wrong. Do you think Dad can really counter the enemy’s attack with something stronger?

Although Sejun thought it might be impossible for him to acquire such a power,

“Sure, let’s practice it later.”

He answered in a way that wouldn’t hurt Cuengi’s feelings, patting Cuengi’s head as he spoke.

Swoosh, swoosh.

Kuehehehe.

Cuengi laughed, clearly pleased with Sejun’s petting.

“Meow! I, Hybrid Vice Chairman Theo wants to be petted too, meow!”

Theo quickly placed Sejun’s other hand on his own head.

Swoosh, swoosh.

As Sejun petted both Theo and Cuengi with both hands,

Kking?!

[Hey! What about me?!]

Blackie also started barking, asking to be patted.

“Alright, Blackie, here, have this and wait.”

Since Sejun couldn’t free his hands, he handed Blackie a piece of roasted and dried sweet potato.

Kking!

[Not this, I want your hand!]

Blackie demanded Sejun’s hand again, although he didn’t return the sweet potato and quickly stored it in his sling bag.

“Alright.”

I guess I’ll have to use this method, then.

“Cuengi, can you lift Blackie up for me?”

Kueng!

[Got it!]

Still enjoying Sejun’s petting, Cuengi used telekinesis to lift Blackie in front of Sejun.

“Bu-bu-bup.”

Sejun pressed his lips to Blackie’s belly and blew raspberries.

Kihihit. Kking!

[Haha! That tickles!]

As Sejun played with all three of them, taking a short break,

Rumble.

“Huh?”

A huge vibration echoed, followed by a creaking sound.

Suddenly, the World Tree, as if sprouting from the earth, began growing rapidly, soaring up to a height of 30 meters in an instant.

It carried Sejun and his companions with it.

Creak, creak.

104.28.193.250

The giant grapevine, which had grown massively, started moving its tendrils, weaving a thick net of vines.

A net of vines, layered dozens of times.

“Oh.”

So this is how it weakens the wind.

Sejun watched from the top of the World Tree as the net-like structure formed, realizing the tree’s intention.

The net was not too tightly woven, allowing the residents to move through it comfortably, but the wind would gradually lose its force as it collided with the net.

At that moment,

[The Grape Seed Containing the World Tree planted in the Silver Tower has grown and weakened the winds of the Silver Tower.]

[You have completed the quest.]

[As a reward for completing the quest, you have received 50 billion Tower Coins.]

[As a reward for completing the quest, all your stats have increased by 100.]

[As a reward for completing the quest, you have obtained 30 drops of the Growth Elixir and 1 drop of the Great Growth Elixir.]

[As a reward for completing the quest, [Job Talent: Growing Seed] has awakened.]

A series of quest completion messages appeared.

“Growing Seed?”

Sejun decided to check the talent first.

[Job Talent: Growing Seed]

→ Each time the Tower Farmer carefully plants seeds, nurtures crops, and harvests them, the seed absorb the Tower Farmer’s dedication and grow.

→ Additional effects will appear based on the seed’s growth stage.

→ Current Growth Stage: Seed has not yet sprouted.

“Hmm.”

Is this a good thing?

“I’ve worked hard to raise it, so it won’t have some trivial effect, right?”

Well, it didn’t really matter. The work remained the same, but the rewards increased, so Sejun decided to stay optimistic.

“Alright, let’s check this next.”

Sejun then examined the Great Growth Elixir, which was contained in a small glass vial radiating a captivating red light.

[Great Growth Elixir]

→ This elixir contains a small trace of the power of the Supreme Creator God.

→ Upon consumption, you gain 10 million experience points.

→ When consumed, it increases the lowest stat among Strength, Stamina, Agility, and Magic Power by 100, and greatly increases the proficiency of one of your skills.

→ For every 10 drops consumed, all your stats increase by 300.

→ Remaining quantity: 1 drop

→ Usage restrictions: None

→ Creator: ???

→ Grade: ★★

Gulp.

After checking the options, Sejun immediately drank the Great Growth Elixir.

And then,

[You have consumed the Great Growth Elixir.]

[You have gained 10 million experience points.]

[Your lowest stat, Agility, has increased by 100.]

[Your proficiency of the skill Weed Pulling Lv. 1 has greatly increased.]

[Your proficiency of Weed Pulling Lv. 1 has been filled, and the level increases.]

[Your proficiency of Weed Pulling Lv. 2 has been filled, and the level increases.]

…

..

.

A string of messages appeared. His experience points, Agility stat, and Weed Pulling skill proficiency had all increased.

“No. Why Weed Pulling?”

As Sejun regretted that the skill that leveled up was Weed Pulling, which had now reached level 7,

[Sejun~nim, hello!]

The World Tree, having finished weaving the net, spoke to him.

“Ah, hello.”

Sejun placed his hand on the tree he was standing on and responded.

[Sejun~nim, I don’t have a name! Please give me a name!]

The World Tree boldly asked Sejun to name it.

“Should I?”

When Sejun agreed to give it a name,

Thump! Thump!

Hehe. I wonder what name he’ll come up with!

With eyes full of anticipation, Blackie and the others pricked their ears, focusing on what terrible name might come out of Sejun’s mouth.

Since it’s a grapevine World Tree, so… Pose. [TL: Combination of the first letters from both Grapevine (포도나무) and World Tree (세계수) = Pose (포세)]

“How about Pose?”

[Pose… I love it so much!]

The newly-named Pose responded with a joyful voice.

If Podori, the other grapevine, had heard this, it would’ve felt quite unfair.

If Podori had been the World Tree from the beginning, it would have received the name Pose. However, when Sejun first met Podori, it wasn’t a World Tree yet.

There’s also one more thing Podori doesn’t know: If its personality had been female, the name “Posun” would have been waiting for it.

Kking…

[Butler, I’m disappointed…]

“Sejun~nim, your naming skills aren’t what they used to be.”

Kkiruk…

Sharlalang…

“That’s right. Sejun-nim has lost his touch.”

Caw…

Blackie and the underlings were disappointed after hearing the ‘wonderful’ name, Pose. Especially Karurur, who seemed even more let down.

At that moment,

[Sejun~nim, Pose has grown some grapes, so please enjoy them! Hiyup!]

With a cute shout from Pose, green grapes-not purple-started to grow on the vines.

“Green grapes? I’ll enjoy them.”

Pluck.

When Sejun picked a bunch of grapes,

[You have harvested a bunch of Seedless Plump Green Grapes (20 grapes).]

[Your job experience has slightly increased.]

[Your proficiency of Harvesting Lv. 9 has slightly increased.]

[You have gained 2000 experience points.]

A harvest message appeared.

“What?! Seedless?”

Could they also be bitter, by any chance?

With a worried expression, Sejun checked the grape’s options.

[Plump Seedless Green Grapes]

→ These are grapes that the World Tree, Pose, has removed the seeds from, especially for the Tower Farmer of the Black Tower, Park Sejun.

→ Even eating just one grape will provide sufficient nutrition.

→ Upon consumption, all stats increase by 1, and a feeling of fullness is maintained for 6 hours. (If total stats exceed 10,000, all stats will increase by 0.01.)

→ Cultivator: Park Sejun, Tower Farmer of the Black Tower

→ Shelf Life: 150 days

→ Grade: S

“Oh.”

It removed the seeds just for me. How thoughtful.

Sejun felt better after reading the description.

The fact that consuming the grapes would only increase all stats by 0.01 didn’t really matter. He could increase those stats by eating other things.

But how do they taste?!

Nom.

Trusting Pose’s thoughtfulness, Sejun boldly put a grape in his mouth.

There was no bitterness. Instead, the unique aroma of grapes combined with a strong sweetness and tartness, making it delicious.

“They’re delicious.”

[Really?!]

“Yeah.”

[Ihehehe. There’s plenty, so have more!]

Pose laughed with a peculiar giggle, clearly pleased by Sejun’s compliment.

[Don’t eat them!]

Suddenly, Pose shouted fiercely.

“Huh?!”

You just told me to eat them, didn’t you? Pose, don’t tell me you have a split personality?

As Sejun hesitated and slowly put the grape down,

[Ah… no, not you, Sejun~nim. I meant those guys.]

Pose hurriedly explained, pointing with its branches at the Silver Tower residents eyeing the grapes.

Then,

[Only those who are Sejun~nim’s employees can eat my grapes! So, if anyone wants to eat grapes, hurry and go to Theo~nim to get a stamp!]

It seemed like Pose had received some early education somewhere, as it started recruiting employees on its own.

Stamp.

[You have stamped the Nine Dragons’ Employee Contract Seal.]

[You have made a one-year employee contract with the other party.]

“Puhuhut. Welcome to Sejun Company, meow!”

Thanks to this, Theo enthusiastically stamped the Silver Tower residents.

Kuehehehe.

Kihihit.

Meanwhile, Sejun played with Cuengi and Blackie on Pose, comfortably increasing the number of employees.

A little while later,

“Puhuhut. Pose, you’re very impressive, meow! As a special honor, I, Hybrid Legendary Merchant Theo Park, will make you a Legendary Merchant, meow! Hel~nim, please make Pose a Legendary Merchant too, meow!”

Theo, seeing Pose’s potential as a Legendary Merchant, recommended it for the title.

“If you refuse, you’ll be impeached, meow!”

As expected of the Serial Impeachment Blackmailer, Theo didn’t forget to add a threat.

However,

[World Trees cannot become legendary merchants.]

The system rejected the request.

“Phew. I’m saved.”

Thanks to the system’s intervention, Hel, the God of Merchants, narrowly escaped the threat of impeachment.

“Meow! I don’t like the system, meow!”

It never listens to me, and it’s always bullies our great Hybrid Chairman Park, meow! One day, I’ll definitely gain system access and give it a good scolding, meow!

Determined to punish the system someday, Theo made up his mind.

Hug.

In order to grow stronger, I need Chairman Park’s lap, meow!

Theo snuggled up on Sejun’s lap, beginning his energy recharge.

***

Outskirts of Destruction.

“Kekeke. Finally, I get to sit here!”

With Fenrir and Halphas, followed by Jǫrmungandr who was in the process of resurrection after being defeated by the dragons, the next in line, Melpheus, the Demon of Ruin and 4th seat of the Apostles of Destruction began commanding Destruction.

I’ve been wanting to do this for so long.

Melpheus started controlling calamities to bring distruction to the world.

However

“Huh?! What?”

Why are these calamities dying off so quickly?

The harder Melpheus directed the calamities, the faster they were annihilated, and the power of destruction that had been engulfing the world weakened.

“What’s going on? Hey! Fight better!”

Melpheus was unaware that he was a disastrous commander.

As a result, more than half of Destruction’s forces were wiped out, significantly delaying the destruction.
