Solo Farming In The Tower - Chapter 656
Chapter 656. Huh?! Did I cross the line?
99th floor of the Black Tower.
“Huh?! Why is everyone gathered here?”
Sejun was walking through the farm when he curiously observed the dragons of the Four Dragon Society and the Five Dragon Society drinking together.
Since the failure of the Nine Dragon Society formation, the dragons had never been together except when they were eating at Sejun’s kitchen.
“Hello!”
Sejun approached the dragons and greeted them.
– Hahaha. Sejun, come here!
– You came back yesterday?
– Yes. I had a lot of work to do in Noir this time.
The dragons welcomed Sejun.
“Try this. I got it in Noir this time.”
Sejun treated the dragons to boiled squid made with Black Flame Moths.
Five pieces per dragon.
It was an excessively small amount compared to the mountain of boiled squid he had sent to Eileen on a large platter yesterday.
But
Chewy.
···?!
The dragons, with their highly developed taste buds, immediately recognized the value of the boiled squid after just one bite.
It was incomparably more delicious than the squid they had eaten before.
– Oh! I feel energized!
This was especially true for Ramtur, who used the power of fire.
This was because, thanks to Sejun’s [Title: Disaster Chef], whenever Sejun cooked with moths, his fire attacks were enhanced.
Moreover, the ingredients were not just ordinary moths, but Black Flame Moths, which were the final evolution of ordinary moths, surpassing White Flame and Blue Flame Moths, so the effect was even more outstanding.
– Sejun, this wasn’t made with ordinary moths!
Ramtur, excited after eating the black squid, spoke to Sejun,
“Yes. This is made with Black Flame Moths, the final evolution of moths.”
Sejun replied and showed Ramtur the Black Flame Moth.
Then
– Hahaha!
Kaiser started laughing loudly.
– See?! I told you black is the best! The most superior!
He said to the surrounding dragons, boasting. It seemed he just wanted to brag.
And
– Kaiser, what are you talking about?! Haven’t you tried carbonara?! White is the best!
– Huh! What nonsense! When it comes to pasta, red tomato pasta is the king!
– Hmph! It’s just pasta! Braised brown slime is the best!
The other dragons, not to be outdone, began to argue with each other, claiming their own color was the most superior.
What’s with the sudden color debate?
As he watched the dragons’ trivial arguments,
– If you don’t acknowledge that crops infused with the energy of the Blue Moon are the best, then let’s disband the Nine Dragon Society!
Kin, the great blue dragon, shouted, and
– Yeah! Well said! Let’s disband!
Tier, who claimed grapes were the best, immediately retorted.
Huh? Nine Dragon Society?
Sejun didn’t know, but the dragons had become friendly by borrowing alcohol from each other and interacting while drinking, and
– Let’s just merge.
– Okay.
– Then, from today onwards, we are the Nine Dragon Society.
They combined the Five Dragon Society and the Four Dragon Society to form the Nine Dragon Society. Just yesterday.
The Nine Dragon Society was in danger of splitting just 12 hours after its formation.
At that moment,
“Everyone, calm down and don’t fight. Color isn’t important. Cooking is all about the touch.”
Hehe. It’s delicious because I cooked it.
Sejun, feeling smug, joined the dragons’ fight. He had truly grown a lot. To think he could say such arrogant things in front of the great dragons.
– What?!
– Color isn’t important?!
The dragons’ expressions hardened at Sejun’s words.
Huh?! Did I cross the line?
Sejun’s expression also stiffened with tension.
A brief silence.
Gulp.
The silence was so suffocating that Sejun unconsciously swallowed his saliva.
After a brief silence,
– Well, you’re right.
– What good are ingredients if Sejun doesn’t cook them?
– That’s right. I tried making it, but it didn’t taste the same.
– Me too. That’s right.
The dragons of the Nine Dragon Society nodded their heads in agreement with Sejun’s words.
– On that note, shall we have a drink?
– To the Nine Dragon Society!
– Cheers!
As if they had never fought, the dragons enjoyed the boiled squid Sejun had given them as a side dish and drank together amicably.
Five drinks per piece
They had to savor the precious snack.
‘I should have given them more.’
As Sejun was contemplating while looking at the dragons,
– Sejun, you know the dragon council meeting is coming up soon, right?
Chrisellia Hisillon, the head of the great silver dragons, approached Sejun and asked.
“Yes, it’s in two weeks and four days.”
– Hohoho. That’s right, you remember well.
Chrisellia looked at Sejun with pride.
– So, about that, I really want the main dish at this council meeting to be made with Black Flame Moths. It has to be.
She brought up the main point.
“Black Flame Moths?”
– Yes. Would that be possible?
Chrisellia’s tone of voice rose a notch with anticipation at Sejun’s question.
Perhaps it was because the boiled squid was incredibly delicious, or maybe it was the pressure of having to show something special at the dragon council meeting.
Or maybe it was both.
However,
“Well, that would be difficult.”
Sejun couldn’t give Chrisellia a positive answer.
He wanted to readily agree, but obtaining Black Flame Moths wasn’t easy.
– Why? Did I do something to upset you?
“No, it’s not that…”
Sejun explained the situation in detail to Chrisellia, who was feeling hurt.
It took 10,000 ordinary moths to evolve into a White Flame Moth, and 100,000 White Flame Moths to evolve into a Blue Flame Moth.
And it took 1,000,000 Blue Flame Moths to create a single Black Flame Moth.
In other words, it took 1 trillion ordinary moths to get one Black Flame Moth.
It was no wonder that Black Flame Moths were hard to come by.
“And I think I need at least a land deed for the 1st floor of the Tower to even attempt it.”
– A land deed… Just wait a little bit.
“Okay.”
With that, the conversation with Chrisellia ended, and Sejun had breakfast with his party and started their day.
Ppiyot, Yuren, and Poyo, who were supposed to come in the morning, didn’t show up, probably due to some misfortune caused by Yuren.
He wasn’t worried. They had Ppiyot, the youngest but most dependable and trustworthy companion.
Click.
Sejun opened the door leading to the 10th Tower and briefly inspected the Tower.
The Tower was very quiet because the Ruin Predators had all moved to the Sky Bean Planet.
As he was checking the other floors except for the 7th floor where Hamer and Stella were, and the 9th floor where Patrick was,
[The Earth God Patrick says to take this.]
Patrick sent Sejun a glass bottle containing a drop of chocolate-colored liquid.
[Earth Elixir]
“Huh?! What is this?”
[The Earth God Patrick says it would be better to see the explanation directly than for him to explain it.]
“Okay.”
At Patrick’s words, Sejun examined the Earth Elixir.
[Earth Elixir]
When an elixir processed from the essence of the earth is sprinkled on the ground, it drastically enhances the energy of the earth, maximizing the taste and effects of crops grown by absorbing the energy of the earth.
Land where the Earth Elixir has been used cannot be used for another month.
Usage Restriction: Tower Farmer
Creator: Earth God Patrick
Grade: SSS
Maximize taste and effects?
“Patrick, why are you giving me this now?!”
No, you should have given me something this good sooner!
Sejun complained to Patrick after checking the options.
[…]
Patrick was speechless, taken aback by Sejun’s reaction.
To be honest, Patrick didn’t want to make the Earth Elixir. It was a lot of work.
But seeing Hamer giving Sejun the Enhancement Elixir, he started to feel pressured.
Sejun was the prospective landlord of the 10th Tower. It felt like he should also give something to Sejun as a form of rent, so he started making the Earth Elixir.
[The Earth God Patrick says let’s just move on from that.]
[The Earth God Patrick says he will give you 5 drops of Earth Elixir every month from now on.]
“What? You’re going to give me five drops
of this every month? Okay.”
Sejun readily accepted Patrick’s offer and decided to receive 5 drops of Earth Elixir every month from now on.
After the conversation with Patrick ended,
“Shall I plant some green onions?”
Sejun planted Antidote Green Onions on the 1st floor of the Tower.
Meanwhile,
“Fufufu. This body, the right-hand man of the great hybrid Chairman Park, will plant the fastest, meow!”
Theo followed Sejun’s lead and planted Antidote Green Onions,
“Kku kku kku. I won’t lose either!”
Iona planted peanuts,
Kkuhehehe. Kkueng!
[Hehehe. Kkueng-ie is a master of planting!]
Kkueng-ie diligently planted corn.
Kihihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Heehee. The great Kkamang-ie has lost weight and become agile! Now the great Kkamang-ie is the fastest!]
Kkamang-ie, who had lost some weight and become slightly slimmer, also quickly planted sweet potatoes.
3 hours later.
Kking!
[Butler! The great Kkamang-ie is hungry from working hard!]
Kkamang-ie ran to Sejun and demanded food.
Rumble.
At that moment, Kkueng-ie’s stomach also rumbled loudly.
“Alright. Let’s go eat.”
Sejun took his party back to the 99th floor of the Black Tower and had lunch with them.
And
Guys, grow big and strong.
Tok.
He dropped the Earth Elixir he received from Patrick on the land where Baby Doll Ginseng, Baby Doll Igniting Herb, and Baby Doll Poison Herb were planted.
“Hehehe. Good. The medicine is working well.”
Outwardly, there didn’t seem to be much difference, but to Sejun’s eyes, the vitality of the herbs seemed to have become stronger.
At that moment,
Kkuhehehe. Kkueng!
[Hehehe. Dad, drink coffee!]
Kkueng-ie brewed coffee and brought it to Sejun.
“Thanks.”
Slurp.
Sejun took a sip of coffee and
“Ah! As expected, the coffee brewed by our Kkueng-ie is the best!”
He made a sincere frown and gave Kkueng-ie a thumbs up.
Kkuhehehe.
Kkueng-ie was greatly pleased with Sejun’s reaction.
A little later.
“Ah. That was good. Now, let’s get back to work.”
Sejun finished his coffee and arrived on the Sky Bean Planet with his party through the dimensional door.
Sejun and his party continued to plant Sky-Reaching Beans on Kraken’s body to grow the planet, and also planted Ruin Destroyer and Ruin Predator seeds.
After about an hour of planting seeds,
Flap. Flap.
– Sejun.
Chrisellia came through the dimensional door and called Sejun.
And
– Here’s the land deed.
She handed Sejun the land deed for a shop on the 1st floor of the Silver Tower.
– Sejun, can you go right now? There’s a world that just connected, and it seems like it’s about to be ruined.
“Yes. I’ll go right away. Guys!”
At Chrisellia’s urgent voice, Sejun hurriedly called his party and returned to the Black Tower. Then,
“Eileen, I’ll be back.”
Clatter.
He greeted Eileen and left for the Silver Tower.
[You have arrived at the 1st floor of the Silver Tower.]
…
..
.
Sejun arrived at the shop on the 1st floor of the Silver Tower.
“Welcome! This is Bling Bling Silver & Cash!”
Two men with friendly faces greeted Sejun.
Huh?! They’re not fainting?
Sejun was puzzled as he looked at them.
They weren’t at the level to be on the 1st floor of the Tower.
Clang…
“Bling Bling Silver & Cash?”
Sejun’s curiosity was piqued. He stood in front of the opening dimensional warehouse door, stopping it with his hand, and asked,
“Ah! It seems you haven’t heard properly about our Bling Bling Silver & Cash. We lend money to those in urgent need of cash and receive
a very reasonable interest…”
Loan sharks.
Sejun understood their true nature after hearing their explanation.
Then they must have a lot of money?
“Hehehe. Guys, come out.”
He called out to his party.
Woof.
“Fufufu. I missed the great hybrid Chairman Park, meow!”
Kkueng!
Kking!
The door of the dimensional warehouse opened, and his party rushed out.
“Get out. See this land deed? This is my shop now.”
As soon as his party came out, Sejun confidently ordered them to leave.
“Don’t be ridiculous! This is the headquarters of our Bling Bling Silver & Cash!”
“That’s right! If the boss finds out, you’re dead!”
The employees of Bling Bling Silver & Cash refused to leave.
“Don’t want to leave? Then you can join our Sejun Company.”
“Fufufu. That’s a good idea, meow!”
Sejun and Theo grinned wickedly at them.
Thump. Thump.
The two employees of Bling Bling Silver & Cash were hit in the back of the head by Theo, and while unconscious, they had their fingerprints taken and became full-time employees of Sejun Company.
And
“What the…”
Kkueng!
Thud!
Obado, the boss of Bling Bling Silver & Cash, who was coming out of his office, was also hit in the back of the head by Kkueng-ie and became a full-time employee of Sejun Company.
Just like that, Bling Bling Silver & Cash, which had been notorious in the Silver Tower, quietly disappeared.
