Solo Farming In The Tower - Chapter 717
“Episode 717. Weaker than I thought!”
The Land of Ruin.
“Not
Sejun wanted to tease her, but he knew she’d be curious.
“No!”
“You should be!”
Destruction glared at Sejun, her eyes sharp, as if to say his rejection was futile.
However, Sejun sensed the fear hidden within her gaze.
She was like a hedgehog, spines erect, protecting itself from hurt.
So, instead of teasing, Sejun played along.
“Oh! Really?! You’re finally telling me?! Tell me quickly! I’m so curious!”
And that was a stroke of genius.
What if Sejun had teased her?
Sejun didn’t really want to see me!
Nobody likes me!
Boo-hoo!
Destruction would have retreated into her shell, heartbroken, and resumed her mission to annihilate the world, this time with an unstoppable, apocalyptic fervor.
As predicted.
-Hehehe. I knew it.
Destruction acted like it was obvious, but inwardly, she’d been worried Sejun wouldn’t be curious.
Phew.
What a relief.
She sighed deeply in relief.
And then,
-I’m in the north…
Destruction revealed her location to Sejun.
This is going to be tough.
Sejun’s face darkened slightly at her words.
He had hoped to see her sooner, but she was too far away.
To reach Destruction, he had to pass through five walls known as the Walls of Ruin. These walls, she explained, were formed from the solidified aura of ruin.
And the distance between each wall was approximately 1,000 kilometers.
In other words, it was an epic journey of 5,000 kilometers, breaking through five Walls of Ruin.
For Sejun, who had only just gained the ability to move within a 5-kilometer radius around the waypoint, it was an even more daunting task.
Destruction could have easily met Sejun if she went to him directly, but the fear that he might not welcome her kept her rooted in place.
If Sejun was an extroverted sunfish, Destruction was an introverted one.
And Destruction wanted to test if Sejun truly desired to meet her, enough to endure such hardship.
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!
Destruction’s heart pounded with anxiety as she saw Sejun’s darkened expression.
What if he thinks it’s too far?
“How many walls should we break down?”
“What if Sejun says it’s too far?”
“Alright. Wait for me there. But it’ll take some
Contrary to Tarak’s worries, Sejun agreed to visit him.
– *Chuckle*. Come if you can.
Tarak pretended to be nonchalant.
Just then,
“Here, eat
Sejun handed Tarak a basket filled with peanut chocolate balls.
His eyes held a hint of anticipation.
*And this is different from what I had before?!*
Tarak exclaimed in admiration after trying the peanut chocolate ball.
“How is it?”
Sejun asked Tarak, who replied in an excited voice,
– *What is this? It’s cold and hard, but so soft! And delicious!*
Tarak couldn’t hide his excitement.
“Hehehe. This is my new dish, Choco Peanut Ice Cream. It’s made with Frost Peanuts, so it never melts at room temperature. I coated peanut ice cream with chocolate…”
As Sejun diligently explained,
*Munch.
*So delicious!*
Tarak savored the Choco Peanut Ice Cream.
The chocolate coating broke, revealing the cold peanut ice cream inside for a delightful bite.
Moreover,
The peanut bits mixed in the ice cream added a nice crunch and nutty flavor.
Before he knew it,
– *Huh?!*
The basket was already empty.
“Hehehe. How was it?”
– *It’s an amazing flavor. It was so delicious…*
“Hehe. It’s all thanks to my amazing cooking
As Sejun puffed up his chest with pride,
“Meow?! Chairman Park, what are you doing?! Your face is falling apart, meow!”
“Kkueng?! Master Sejun, fix your face!”
*Whimper?!*
[Human! Get a hold of yourself!]
His companions rushed to Sejun’s side in a panic.
*And he’s even weaker than I thought!*
Tarak was startled as he watched Sejun.
He had just witnessed the signs of Sejun’s body collapsing as he lost his balance.
*It’s a good
*It’s better to meet him
At the same time, Tarak was relieved that it would take Sejun a long time to visit him.
He needed more time to weaken his powers.
A while later,
–
Tarak was hit by Theo’s beam and disappeared.
A week passed.

“Ugh!”
Sejun woke up energetically as always.
As usual, Sejun hunted the Evil Spirits, had breakfast, stopped by the 10th Tower and the Black Flame Tower, and then headed to the Temple of the God of Creation.
Of course, Kkueng-i was sent to work, and Batbat and Kkamang-ie were sleeping in bed.
*Whine!*
[Butler! The great Kkamang-ie wants to go with you today!]
Kkamang-ie had stayed awake, insisting on following Sejun, but after a full meal and some belly rubs,
He fell right back to sleep.
If Sejun drew the bedroom curtains here to block the sunlight, Kkamang-ie wouldn’t wake up for at least five hours.
As Sejun arrived at the Temple of the God of Creation and greeted Emily and Amour,
“Oh! Sejun is here! Give me some snacks!”
Amour jumped to his feet and demanded snacks.
“Here you
Knowing the situation, Sejun hurriedly took out rice cakes, dried sweet potatoes, corn, and more.
“Park Sejun, let’s head over
Sejun, Theo, and Iona followed Emily to the waypoint and moved to the Land of Ruin.
And then,
*Knock. Knock.
Amour knocked on the door of the God of Creation’s room with the snacks Sejun had given him.
Emily had taken Sejun away first because Amour couldn’t open the door while Sejun was there.
A moment later,
The door opened cautiously.
“Snacks?”
The God of Creation, with a haggard face, asked quietly.
“Here they
Amour answered quietly and handed over the snacks.
“Okay. Good
The God of Creation quietly closed the door.
Good.
No one’s awake.
He was relieved to see the children sleeping soundly.
But suddenly,
The God of Creation’s relief vanished as one of the children suddenly opened its eyes.
As if they had promised, the other children opened their eyes as well.
And,
“Give it to me!”
“Give it!”
“Give it, please!”
The three children held out their hands, demanding food.
Sejun had given them an extra portion in the Land of Ruin.
It was fortunate that he had just received the snacks.
The God of Creation handed a snack to each of the children who were holding out their hands.
However,
“This isn’t it!”
The child holding the rice cake suddenly lowered his head and became agitated.
“Huh? What’s wrong? Ah, the
There’s none?
Sejun had forgotten to pack the honey.
“Dip it for me!”
“Let’s just eat it plain today. I’ll give you honey
“No! Dip it for me! Now!”
Thanks to that, the god of creation had a hard time calming the children down.
***
The Land of Ruin.
“So this is the Wall of Ruin?”
It’s really huge.
Sejun looked up at the gigantic, dark red wall that reached the sky and spoke. He had been diligently moving north from the waypoint for a week, and finally, he was able to see the first Wall of Ruin today.
And
Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.
About 1 trillion Ruin Predators were diligently absorbing the energy of ruin in the surroundings.
This number had already decreased significantly due to the snakes, and there were originally far more.
In the past, it was impossible for the number of Ruin Predators to increase so exponentially because the amount of energy of ruin they could absorb was limited. However, this place was the Land of Ruin.
A place overflowing with the energy of ruin to devour.
As the Ruin Predators absorbed the energy of ruin and diligently spat out seeds, Sejun and the Ruin Pioneers diligently planted them, causing the number of Ruin Predators to increase rapidly.
To be honest, there were so many seeds that they didn’t have time to plant them all, and the seeds were piled up in a heap.
At that moment,
Wiggle. Wiggle.
From the surface of the Wall of Ruin, dark red snakes began to crawl out, wriggling.
They were aiming to eliminate the Ruin Predators that were clinging to the Wall of Ruin, absorbing the energy of ruin.
[Serpents Parasitic on the Fallen Ruin]
The only difference was the absence of the word “small” in front of it, but even the smallest one was over 10 meters long.
Their thickness was about times greater, and the largest serpent was close to 30 meters long.
“Nyanya! Nyanya!”
“Kkueng, kkueng, kkueng. Power of the meteorite, fall upon my enemies.
Of course, they were still just serpents, easily dealt with by Theo and Iona.
And
[Black Tower Lucky Subject Park Theo has slain a Serpent Parasitic on the Fallen
[Black Tower Lucky Subject Park Theo has acquired 50,000,000 experience, which is 50% of the acquired

Hehehe.
Sejun leveled up with a satisfied look on his face as he watched the two fight from behind.
His level was now 233.
This was thanks to his diligent hunting in the Disaster Farm and the Land of Ruin every day.
Just as Sejun was happy about leveling up,
“Kkyakyakya!”
[Sejun-nim, there’s no time to rest!]
The Ruin Pioneers urged him, saying they needed to plant the seeds.
Even if they worked hard planting the piled-up seeds, the Ruin Devourer seeds were being spat out at an even faster rate.
“Huhu, don’t
That’s why I brought this.
Sejun took out a drop of Enhancement Potion that he received from the God of Farmers, Hamer, this morning and
Drip.
He dropped it onto a Ruin Pioneer seed.
[Ruin Pioneer Seed (+2)]
The magic cherry tomato of Park Sejun, the Black Tower Farmer, evolved into a mutant cherry tomato due to the influence of the potion, and the Flesh Eater seed, which had evolved from it by being contaminated by ruin, was purified of the power of ruin and evolved again.
It hates the power of ruin more than the Ruin Devourers.
Although it cannot directly devour the power of ruin, it directly cultivates ruin by planting Ruin Devourer seeds.
Capable of combat.
Cannot plant its own seeds.
Spits out 2 seeds for every 1 million Ruin Devourer seeds planted.
Enhanced twice with an Enhancement Potion.
Rank: SS
The options of the Ruin Pioneer seed had changed.
However,
“Ha…”
Sejun sighed as he looked at the options.
Instead of the seed-planting speed or the number of seeds spat out increasing as Sejun had hoped, a different option had been enhanced.
Why did it have to be combat ability that was enhanced?
Moreover,
‘From ‘Slight Combat’ to
It seemed quite useless.
The Ruin Pioneers’ combat ability was only enough to deal with one or two Red Locusts.
It didn’t make much of a difference just because ‘Slight’ was removed.
Puk.
Disappointed, Sejun planted the Ruin Pioneer seed.
Ppudeuduk.
The +2 Ruin Pioneer grew rapidly.
Since there was no Creation Qi gathered from the offsetting of the Creation Qi created by the Ruin Devourers and the Ruin Qi, it couldn’t evolve other Ruin Pioneers into +2 enhanced Ruin Pioneers.
And so, the +2 Ruin Pioneer made its first appearance in the world.
Sasasak!
Sejun’s eyes couldn’t keep up with the speed at which the roots moved, dashing towards the Thread Snake and then—
—Slicing the Thread Snake with its leaves.
*This is the effect of it losing just a little bit of its power?!*
Sejun was shocked by the sight.
Meanwhile, 10,000 Devourers surrounded a single Pioneer
Breathing the Energy of Creation directly onto the Pioneer.
And then—
*Kiki!*
—The Pioneers, having absorbed the Energy of Creation, began to be strengthened one by one to +2.
As the +2 strengthened Pioneers began to join the battle— *Even you guys…*
—Sejun felt betrayed once again today, watching the Pioneers fight better than him.
Like that, 3 days passed, and
The first Wall of Ruin crumbled.
