Solo Farming In The Tower

Chapter 266: Looks like I got an SS-grade item after all...

TL: Hanguk

Hmm. How do I get in there

Fenrir, the god-hunting wolf and the first seat among the Apostles of Destruction, gazed at the Black Tower, lost in thought.

To find the item that enhanced the abilities of the dragon swallowed by Kaiser, the leader of the Black Dragons, he needed to enter the Black Tower, but there was no obvious way in.

Of course, there was a method used by the other Apostles of Destruction, which involved sharing their power with a being capable of entering the tower and parasitizing them with a fragment of themselves to gain access.

But that was too lowly a method for a noble wolf like himself.

Then

Ah. I can use Jrmungandr!

Fenrir recalled Jrmungandr, the world-devouring serpent disguised as a passageway hunting around the tower.

And

Jrmungandr!

Fenrir called out to Jrmungandr and began devising a plan to enter the Black Tower.

Click.

After breakfast, Sejun opened the Golden Box of Abundance, and inside were three black beans neatly placed.

Hehehe.

Sejun chuckled as he took out two black beans from the box, then

Click.

He closed the Golden Box of Abundance. Now, when he will check it tomorrow morning, the remaining black bean would magically become three.

Its a pity I can only put in one bean.

Sejun said in a regretful voice, looking at the Golden Box of Abundance.

Well being able to increase the number of black beans in this way was something to be thankful for, but still, the more, the merrier

The two obtained black beans were secretly stored in the void storage along with the Golden Box of Abundance, unbeknownst to the dragons.

There were three dragons and two black beans. If he started selling the black beans now, a tremendous fight would break out among the dragons over who gets to have them.

Considering the effects of the black beans, it was a distinct possibility.

But in two days, there would be six surplus black beans, allowing him to sell two to each dragon, so there was no need to create discord.

Starting a fight among the dragons might raise the price of the black beans, but that would mean losing the future for short-term gain.

If the three dragons started fighting over the black beans,

This farm would turn into a complete mess

Moreover, if he got swept up in the aftermath, it would be dangerous for him too the losses outweighed the gains.

While Sejun was securing the black beans,

Krueng!

[Cuengi is going to collect herbs!]

Okay, take care.

After a hearty breakfast, Cuengi headed to the western forest where kudzu was planted. Having been away for a few days, he expected to find more herbs than usual today.

I should get to work too.

After Cuengi left, Sejun also got ready to work. There was a lot to do.

He had to bottle the finished wine, brew new wine in the empty jars, and make rice noodles for Mimyr as Theo had promised.

Additionally, he needed to use <Power: Abundance!> to double the harvest yield.

Vice Chairman Theo, its time to work.

Tattle-tattle.

Sejun shook his leg, looking at Theo, who was obliviously clinging to it. If the Chairman works, you should too. Work, Vice Chairman Theo.

But

No, meow! Chairman Park works too hard, meow!

Squeeze.

Theo, unwilling to let go of Sejun, clung even tighter in protest.

Working hard is why Im the chairman, Vice Chairman Theo.

Meow! Thats true, meow!

Theo had an epiphany from Sejuns offhand remark about work.

The hardest worker is the chairman, meow! Then as the Vice Chairman, he too must work harder, meow! Otherwise, he could lose his position as Vice Chairman, meow!

Chairman Park! Ill work hard and come back, meow!

Theo, determined not to lose his position as Vice Chairman, hurriedly descended the tower to work.

But did he take the crops in his bundle?

Sejun spoke in a worried voice, looking at Theo, who had already gone far enough to be out of sight.

If Theo hadnt refilled his bundle with crops after selling them to Mimyr, it would be empty now.

Well if he didnt, hell come back midway.

Sejun, watching the direction Theo went, quickly walked towards the brewery.

Tower 4th Floor.

Trudge. Trudge.

A group of 10 novice hunters, who had easily cleared the 2nd and 3rd floors of the tower where the experience farm was located, cautiously moved through the 4th floor in search of their prey, skeletons.

Having ascended the 2nd and 3rd floors with ease, it was their first hunt, and everyone was tense. Apart from the sound of footsteps, there was no conversation among them.

After 3 hours of searching for skeletons, they had moved quite a bit, but they hadnt seen a single skeleton.

Have we traveled too far?!

A frightened hunter shouted to his party members as they strayed far from the waypoint. They were inexperienced in hunting and lacked common sense.

Mendal, could you shut your mouth for now? At this rate, your noise will attract all the skeletons.

Uh sorry

Realizing his mistake, Mendal quietly responded.

Then

Sniff. Sniff.

Doesnt it smell like grapes around here?!

Stefan, leading the group, took a deep breath and commented.

Oh? Youre right.

As they moved a bit further, the other party members also smelled the strong scent of grapes.

Where is this smell coming from?

Lets follow the smell.

Tired of searching for skeletons, the weary hunters decided to follow the grape scent. They were a bit hungry, and the scent of grapes was too fragrant to resist.

But

What?!

Rattle. Rattle.

The hunters, who had followed the sweet grape scent, suddenly found themselves surrounded by over 50 black skeletons.

Drop your weapons and follow us.

At the command of a talking black skeleton, the novice hunters had no choice but to comply. They were just relieved not to be killed on the spot.

As they followed the black skeletons, the scent of grapes grew stronger.

A little later.

Wow.

The hunters saw a vast vineyard laden with bunches of grapes.

And

What am I looking at?

Are skeletons farming grapes?

The hunters witnessed the bizarre sight of black skeletons and regular skeletons harmoniously harvesting grapes.

Then

Pluck. Pluck.

Go and pick them.

The black skeletons pushed them into the vineyard and instructed.

***

Heres the Samyangju.

Sejun bottled todays batch of Samyangju and distributed 20,000 bottles, giving 10,000 each to Kaiser and Kellion.

-Hahaha. Just looking at it is satisfying.

-Indeed. We wont run out of booze for a while.

Kaiser and Kellion were delighted to receive 10,000 bottles of Samyangju each.

But

-

Ramter could only watch enviously. He had been completely stripped of his Tower Coins by Kaiser.

Although Ramter had been diligently accumulating Tower Coins, it was still nothing compared to the wealth of Kaiser and Kellion.

He couldnt afford to buy Samyangju since buying black beans was the priority.

Then

Hey Ramter~nim, try some of this leftover Samyangju.

Sejun offered Ramter 5 bottles of Samyangju.

After bottling, exactly 20,005 bottles of Samyangju were produced, and Sejun kept 5 of them for himself, to drink or use in cooking later.

However, seeing Ramter unable to take his eyes off the Samyangju, Sejun felt a pang of sympathy.

One of the saddest things in the world is not being able to eat what you desire. It seemed dragons were no different.

-Sejun, thank you!

Ramter was touched by Sejuns gesture.

-Its nothing much, but take this.

To express his gratitude, Ramter gave Sejun the red full-body armor he had brought with him.

Really?!

Sejun was delighted at Ramters offer.

The red full-body armor was standing like a scarecrow in the middle of a sweet potato field.

Sejun had been eyeing the armor since yesterday, but since he wasnt close to Ramter, he only peeked at it from a distance. He couldnt believe he was being offered such armor?

-Yes. Now its yours.

With Ramters words, the usage restrictions on the armor were lifted.

Thank you!

Upon hearing Ramters words, Sejun hurried to the sweet potato field with excitement and examined the armor.

[Red Dragons Full Body Scale Armor]

This armor is made from 1000 Red Dragon scales and crafted by a skilled blacksmith to withstand the dragons aura.

Made from the Red Dragons scales, it is almost immune to fire and is very sturdy.

When worn, it consumes magic power to activate a barrier that neutralizes some of the dragons aura.

Usage Restriction: Strength over 1500, Stamina over 1500, Magic Power over 1000, recognized by Ramter Zahir

Creator: Udon, Tower Farmer of the Red Tower

Grade: SS

Strength and stamina over 1500, and magic power over 1000?

The usage restrictions were tremendous.

What a pity

The fact that he couldnt wear such a magnificent armor, nor use the barrier that neutralizes the dragons aura.

Looks like I got an SS-grade item after all

Disappointed for a moment, Sejun carried the armor next to the Creator Gods tablet signpost and

Click. Click.

He adjusted the armors joints to make it kneel beside the signpost with its right hand making a V sign.

Hehehe. Nice.

Sejun, pleased for some reason, displayed the Red Dragons Full Body Scale Armor in front of the Creator Gods tablet.

Now, off to make more booze.

Sejun headed back to the brewery to make another batch of 20,000 bottles of Samyangju, as he had sold that much today.

Hehehe.

Sejun was excited about the prospect of sweating and working hard.

Indeed, such laborious work suited Sejun, but

Hehehe. I need to make booze quickly to earn money.

Sejun simply loved making money.

Meow meow meow. Vice Chairman Theo is working hard again today, meow!

Theo, having had a great realization from Sejuns words, was using the merchant passage to descend the tower when

What, meow?

He came upon a fork in the road.

And

Phuhuha. This way, meow!

Following the pull in his paws, Theo headed down the left path. Whether the path was right or wrong didnt matter. Theo had the ability to turn even a wrong answer into the right one.

A little later

Thud.

The left path closed, and the face of a snake appeared.

It would be nice if hes tasty.

A fragment of Jrmungandr, the world-devouring snake, was pleased to swallow Theo.

But Theo was a strong cat who could tear open Jrmungandrs fragments belly and escape whenever he wanted.

Scratch. Scratch.

Meow meow meow. The pull is stronger, meow! Something good is ahead, meow! Vice Chairman Theo, the right hand of Chairman Park, is on the move, meow! Gaeron, pick them up, meow!

-Yes!

Theo, humming a tune, defeated the white snakes and spoke to Gaeron on his head.

Swoosh. Swoosh.

Gaeron diligently picked up the white coins with his tongue, following Theos instruction.

Then

Piyo! Piyo!

The sound of a birds cry was heard. Theo intuitively felt that the source of the allure was in the direction of the sound.

Over there, meow!

Theo quickly ran towards the source of the sound.

Swoosh!

Piyo!

There, Theo saw a small bird fighting, surrounded by white snakes.

The birds cries were loud, but it seemed tired from the prolonged battle, its wingbeats weakening, and its altitude gradually decreasing.

If it dropped just a bit more, it risked being swallowed by the snakes.

Swish. Swish.

Theo swiftly intervened and dealt with the snakes.

And then

Puhahaha. Since I saved your life, you need to stamp here

Press.

Twinkle. Twinkle.

The bird, looking at Theo with eyes full of admiration, quickly stamped the contract Theo presented.

Piyo! Piyo!

[Thank you for saving me! My name is Pirururur Yotra from the White-Headed Long-Tailed Tit Tribe!]

Pirururur Yotra introduced itself to Theo.

Puhahaha. Your name is Piyot, meow? Piyot, you are now my subordinate, so you must listen well to me, meow!

Swipe. Swipe.

Subordinate: Piyot ()

Theo wrote Piyot next to the footprint he had already stamped on the subordinate section of the contract.

Piyo.

[I my name isnt Piyot, its Pirururur Yotra.]

Pirururur Yotra corrected its name on the contract.

However, Pirururur Yotra spoke too quickly, and to Theos ears, it just sounded like Piyot.

Piyot, I know your name is Piyot, meow! I wrote it correctly here, meow!

Theo pointed at the contract as he spoke.

Piyo

[But thats not my name]

Thus, Pirururur Yotra, dejected about being contracted under a different name, became Theos new subordinate.
