Solo Farming In The Tower

Chapter 402: The Taste is What's Important. Yup. That's Right.

TL: Hanguk

“Giving 3 quests at once?”

Sejun spoke as he quickly skimmed over the quests.

One job quest and two regular quests.

“The job quest is…”

To find Patrick, the God of Earth sealed on the 35th floor of the Gold Tower, and break the seal.

“If it’s Patrick…”

He is the owner of the straw hat I wore.

As a reward for releasing the seal, he might upgrade my hat, or since he’s the God of Earth, he might give me a lot of jewels.

Hehehe. I’m looking forward to it. Hmm. But how do I get to the Golden Tower? I should have Theo get me a land deed for the Golden Tower…

“Oh. No, wait. Now that I can come to the shop district, should I try to get it myself?”

He decided to first try to get the land deed for the 35th floor of the Golden Tower from the shopping district, and if he couldn’t find it, he would ask Theo.

“But what is the Growth Elixir?”

The reward given was common for all quests.

For this, it seemed he needed to receive it first to find out.

Having reviewed the job quest,

“I can just do these as I’ve been doing usually.”

Sejun said, looking at the remaining two regular quests.

Giving a glass of golden Samyangju to the dragons.

Releasing the seals of the gods.

These were all things Sejun usually did.

“But won’t it be hard to give just one glass each?”

It was doubtful if the dragons would be satisfied with just one glass. They would definitely ask for more…

“I’m sure Aileen can handle it well, right?”

After reviewing the three quests, Sejun looked around.

Gororong.

Kurorong.

Kkirorong.

His companions were already leaning against Sejun’s body, fast asleep.

“Guys.”

Sejun tried calling them, but they didn’t budge. No one woke up.

Sejun had no choice but to carry everyone to the hotel.

However,

“Ugh… Uren, I’m sorry.”

He had no choice but to leave Uren behind. Unlike Cuengi, who could reduce his weight, Uren was heavy.

Instead, Sejun covered Uren with a tablecloth and headed to the hotel with the rest of the party.

***

Gagel’s secret research lab in Minnesota, USA.

“The result?”

“Success. Look at this.”

At Michael’s question, who had become the Chairman of Gagel, lab director Jake showed a tablet. On the screen was a massively grown Flesh Eater.

As soon as Michael became Chairman, he had Gagel’s top researchers called to a secret lab to create a growth accelerator specifically for the Flesh Eaters.

“How long did it take to grow this much?”

“70 hours.”

“Almost three days.”

Michael said in a satisfied voice.

“Good work. Put out an order to every factory in the world to make the growth accelerator you’ve just developed, and shut down the lab.”

“Yes, sir!”

Jake returned to the lab at Michael’s command.

Though he was told to shut down the lab, Jake showed no sign of disappointment.

“Hehehe. Now, I’ll get 100 million dollars.”

He was rather excited, eagerly awaiting the money to be deposited into his account.

He didn’t care why Michael was doing such crazy things. He just cared that he could make money.

“Everyone, place orders for the growth accelerator at the assigned factories! We’re done here! Go enjoy your vacation!”

“Yes, Director!”

At Jake’s words, the researchers began placing orders at their respective factories to produce the growth accelerator under the name of Gagel.

Thus, the mass production of the growth accelerator for rapidly growing Flesh Eaters began worldwide.

The next morning.

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, if we go to Mason, chairman of the wandering merchant association, we can easily get the land deed, meow!”

“Really? Then let’s go see Mason.”

At Theo’s words, Sejun decided to go find Mason with his party and went down to the hotel restaurant to have breakfast.

Upon arriving at the restaurant,

“Uhehehe. Good morning!”

Uren had already taken a seat and was having breakfast. Of course, Uren ate with the party until they finished their meal.

After finishing breakfast,

“Do you have the land deed for the 35th floor of the Golden Tower?”

When Sejun asked Mason,

“I’m sorry! We don’t have it, but I will definitely try to obtain it!”

Mason replied in a terrified voice.

Why is he so scared?

“Then I’ll leave it to you.”

Sejun entrusted the land deed to Mason and

[The waypoint for the 75th floor of the Black Tower has been saved.]

arrived at the waypoint.

“Legendary Merchant Vice President Theo, see you later then.”

Sejun put Cuengi and Fenrir into the Void Storage and said goodbye to Theo.

Theo planned to take Phoenix to the 95th floor of the tower to find its nest and then go to the 96th floor to get a stamp from Regius, the Lord of Bones.

“Puhuhut. Got it, meow! Chairman Park, see you at home, meow!”

“Alright.”

After saying goodbye, Sejun headed to the 99th floor of the tower.

“Puhuhut. Now, let’s depart, meow!”

Theo, along with Iona, Piyot, Uren, and Phoenix, moved to the 95th floor of the tower.

***

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

Moo!

[Hello, Sejun-nim!]

“Yeah. Hello.”

Sejun greeted the Minotaur King, who appeared at the waypoint.

Clang.

Kueng!

[Teacher, it’s good to see you!]

Moo!

[Yeah!]

Cuengi opened the Void Storage and ran towards the Minotaur King, who offered his palm. Cuengi slapped his palm against the Minotaur King’s.

Bang!

It was just a high-five, but the sound was tremendous.

After finishing this destructive greeting,

“Finally home.”

Sejun returned home.

“First, let’s plant the Earth Jewels.”

Sejun planted the three fully recovered Earth Jewels sporadically in the ground and went to find the sausage tree to use the Harvest Elixir.

“Our sausage tree has grown a lot, huh?”

Sejun remarked, looking at the sausage tree that had grown to knee height, thanks to Flamie’s nutrients.

Tok.

Sejun dropped a single drop of the Harvest Elixir onto the sausage tree.

Crack.

The sausage tree began to grow rapidly after absorbing the Harvest Elixir.

After confirming the growth of the sausage tree, Sejun moved to another field.

Thunk.

[You have planted a cherry seed in the magic-infused soil.]

…

..

.

After planting the cherry seed,

Tok.

He dropped a single drop of the Harvest Elixir.

Following that, Sejun dropped a drop each of the remaining Harvest Elixir on five saplings of Thick Darkness Cherry, five saplings of Sunflower, and three saplings of Blueberry.

The Thick Darkness Cherry and Sunflower were for the Black Dragon and the White Dragon, and the blueberries…

because they had a good effect.

The blueberries had a description that said they would gain special effects if they absorbed the energy of the Blue Moon.

When the blueberries absorbed the energy of the Blue Moon,

– When consumed, the Talent: Swift Movements will awaken for 10 minutes.

As described, an additional effect was created.

Moreover, the magic power that was originally increased by 1, had now risen 5.

Additionally,

– The Blue Moon’s energy has been absorbed once. (1/3)

The blueberries could absorb the energy of the Blue Moon up to three times, not just once.

This meant two more additional effects could be obtained.

Timing was crucial. The more blueberries secured before the Blue Moon, the better.

Therefore, Sejun invested three drops of the Harvest Elixir into the blueberries.

After using all 15 drops of the Harvest Elixir, Sejun went to the brewery and started brewing the golden Samyangju for the dragons.

After a while.

“Fermentation.”

[Using Fermentation Lv. 4.]

[Due to the effect of Fermentation Lv. 4, the fermentation period is reduced by one day.]

[Due to the effect of Fermentation Lv. 4, the process slightly speeds up.]

[Due to the effect of Fermentation Lv. 4, strengthens the taste a little.]

[Your proficiency in Fermentation Lv. 4 slightly increases.]

Sejun used his skill on the alcohol he was brewing.

Once the work was done,

“Time to eat.”

Nom.

Sejun took out Aileen’s cookie from his pocket and ate it as a simple meal.

[You have consumed Aileen’s Special Nutritional Cookie Piece.]

[All stats increase by 0.5.]

[An additional effect will occur if you consume all pieces.]

[989 pieces remaining.]

…

..

.

Cuengi went to the western forest.

Kkirorong.

Fenrir, having had a snack an hour ago, was fast asleep in the sling bag, so only Sejun needed to eat.

Slurp.

As Sejun ate ten of Aileen’s cookies and drank some coffee while resting,

Buzz.

[Hello, Sejun-nim.]

Sweetie greeted Sejun. It seemed it had returned from visiting the Poisonous Queen Bee again today.

“How’s your practice going lately?”

Buzz. Buzz.

[It’s the same as usual. I’m doing the best.]

Sweetie replied, puffing itself up with pride at Sejun’s question.

“Really? As expected, our Sweetie is amazing.”

At Sejun’s compliment, Sweetie rubbed its body against Sejun’s face, feeling bashful.

While talking with Sweetie,

“Right. Sweetie, we need to send the some of the Bees to the 75th floor of the tower…”

Sejun was pondering on what to with the acacia tree farm.

Ah. Acacia honey!

Sejun thought of acacia honey and decided to send the Poisonous Bees to the acacia farm on the 75th floor of the tower.

Buzz.

[Then I’ll talk to the Poisonous Queen Bee and see if there’s an queen bee who can become independent.]

“Yeah. Thank you.”

After chatting a bit more with Sweetie,

“I wonder if it’s fully grown now?”

He went to check on the sausage tree.

Have you ever seen it? The miraculous tree with sausages hanging all over it in clusters

Hehehe. I have.

“Oh!”

With an excited expression, Sejun hurriedly ran to the sausage tree and harvested the sausages.

[You have harvested 10 Vienna Sausages.]

[Your job experience increases slightly.]

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

[You gained 10 experience points.]

These were ordinary sausages with no special effects.

But it didn’t matter.

The taste is what’s important. Yup. That’s right.

While Sejun was diligently harvesting sausages,

[Our Sausage is doing great! Keep eating more!]

Below ground, Flamie’s roots were feeding nutrients to the Sausage, cheering them on.

Encouraged by Flamie’s support, the Sausage was absorbing nutrients diligently, growing stronger. It seemed it would become the youngest World Tree.

“Hehehe. How should I eat these Sausage to get the best taste out of them?”

Unaware that another World Tree was being born underground, Sejun was pondering how to eat the sausages more deliciously.

***

The 95th floor of the Black Tower.

“Puhuhut. Phoenix, is it over there, meow?!”

Theo asked in an excited voice while looking at the peak of a gigantic mountain.

It was no wonder.

The mountain peak looked as if it was covered in snow, but upon closer inspection, it was entirely made up of skeletons, about 300,000 of them. The term ‘teeming’ fit perfectly.

They were all waiting to capture Phoenix upon its return.

Kkokik! Kkokik!

[Yes! They are all Regius’ subordinates!]

“Puhuhut. Very good, meow!”

Theo laughed as he ran forward, taking out the wealth Sejun had prepared from his new bag.

“Puhuhut. Meow!”

As Theo burned the wealth, his body shone golden, and he swung his front paw,

Bang!

A massive golden paw appeared from the sky, crashing onto the mountain. The enormous mountain crumbled under Theo’s giant paw print.

Puhuhut. This is the new technique of Legendary Merchant Vice Chairman Theo, Meow-meow Divine Palm, meow!

“If you want to eat this, move your thumb bones, meow!”

Theo showed fish bones to the broken skeletons.

Clatter. Clatter.

The skeletons eagerly moved their thumb bones, making it very easy for Piyot and Uren to stamp the contracts.

However, there were too many skeletons.

“You all, help with the stamping too, meow!”

So the newly enslaved skeletons were also put to work stamping the contracts.

As a result, the number of skeletons stamping the contracts quickly increased from one to two, to four, to eight… and soon, the stamping was finished in no time.

“Now, let’s go to the 96th floor of the tower, meow!”

Theo led the 300,000 skeleton slaves to the 96th floor of the tower. It wasn’t to make them fight, but to have them help with the stamping.

As Theo departed,

Kkokki…

[My home…]

Phoenix began repairing its nest that was destroyed by Theo’s Meow-meow Divine Palm.
