Solo Farming In The Tower

“Vice Chairman Theo, well done.”

When Sejun praised Theo for bringing the land deed of the 83rd floor of the White Tower,

“Puhuhut! I, Vice Chairman Theo, always do well, meow!”

Theo responded with a proud voice.

Then,

“Uhhing…”

Ajax, looking at Sejun and Theo, started to sob.

“Huh? Ajax, what’s wrong?”

When Sejun asked him,

“Waah! I wanted to find the land deed for Sejun hyung and get praised! Uwaaah!”

Ajax burst into tears, overwhelmed with sorrow.

And then,

-Ajax, what’s the matter?

Kellion hurriedly flew over upon hearing Ajax’s cries.

But,

“I don’t know! It’s all because of grandpa!”

Ajax threw a tantrum at Kellion. It was all because grandpa couldn’t find the land deed!

While Ajax was whining to Kellion,

“Isn’t there a good dragon here who wants to help me prepare dinner and get praised?”

Sejun looked around exaggeratedly.

Then,

“Waah…Hyung! Me! I’ll help!”

Ajax stopped crying and raised his hand. I want to be praised by Sejun hyung!

However,

“Um…this is something only a good dragon can make, so Ajax can’t. You were angry at Kellion~nim.”

Kueng! Kueng!

[Then Cuengi will help! Cuengi is good!]

“Good. A good bear can do it too. Cuengi, you pass.”

Kuehehehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehe. Good!]

“Uwaaah…”

Ajax’s face fell again as only Cuengi passed.

“Well…if Ajax apologizes to Kellion~nim and Kellion~nim forgives him, he might become a good dragon again…”

“Grandpa, I’m sorry!”

With that, Ajax quickly hugged Kellion, apologizing.

While hugging, he looked at Kellion with pleading eyes. Grandpa, you’ll forgive me, right?

-Uhahahaha. Of course, I’ll forgive you.

Kellion immediately forgave Ajax. Then, he looked at Sejun curiously.

‘Our Ajax is not usually this submissive, how does he become so docile in front of Sejun?’

Kaiser said that even Aileen used to have a quite difficult personality. It was really a mystery.

As Kellion was marveling at Sejun,

“Hyung! Now I’m a good dragon!”

“Yes. Now you’re a good dragon. Then help me out!”

“Okay! Hyung!”

Sejun took Cuengi and Ajax to the kitchen.

And then,

Clang.

He opened the void storage and took out the locust meat. He thought it was all eaten, but there was some hidden under other crops.

“Theo, please mince this.”

“Puhuhut. Understood, meow!”

Clack.

Dadadada.

As Theo diligently minced the locust meat,

Kueng?

[What should Cuengi do?]

“Hyung, what can I help with?”

Cuengi and Ajax, eager to help and get praised, asked Sejun anxiously.

“There’s nothing for now, so just sit here and wait a bit.”

Sejun said, placing a plate and flour on the table.

After a while,

“Puhuhut. All done, meow!”

“Good job.”

After Theo finished mincing the locust meat, Sejun added salt and pepper to season it.

“Kids, now you just need to make it like this.”

He showed Cuengi and Ajax how to make the minced meat into dinosaur shapes. It was Yonggary Chicken. (TL: Yonggary here is a combination of Korean for dragon which is Yong and Gary is the part derived from a legendary creature from Korean mythology known as Pulgasari)

Kueng! Kueng!

[Understood! Cuengi will work hard to help!]

“Okay! Hyung, trust me!”

Squish squish squish.

They started eagerly shaping the meat.

However,

Kuehehehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehe. This is Cuengi!]

“Eehehee. This is the great white dragon, Lord Ajax!”

Soon, the two were no longer focused on helping Sejun but were happily playing instead.

“These rascals are having a good time.”

Sejun didn’t expect much from the two. Honestly, he just wanted them to have fun.

Then,

“Ta-da! How is it?! Vice Chairman Theo.”

Sejun showed Theo what he made with the minced meat.

“Meow?! Who is this ugly cat, meow?!”

“It’s you. Vice Chairman Theo Chicken.”

“Meow?! My face isn’t ugly like that, meow!”

“Why? Two ears, round face, it’s somewhat similar.”

“No, it’s not, meow!”

“You don’t have artistic sense at all.”

Sejun, who would claim two dots on a circle as a person with his art skills, talked about artistic sense.

Then, Sejun started making Piyot, golden bat, and Flamie as well. Of course, none of them resembled the originals.

Finally, when it came to making Iona Chicken,

“Oh?! We’re out of meat.”

The large amount of meat was gone.

Kueng!

[Cuengi is bigger!]

“No! I’m bigger!”

Because Cuengi and Ajax had used up all the minced meat trying to make themselves bigger.

“Hey! If you make it too big, it won’t taste good.”

Kueng?!

[Making it big makes it taste bad?!]

“That’s not good!”

Hearing Sejun’s words, the two quickly removed some of the meat, and in no time, fist-sized Cuengi Chicken and Ajax Chicken were completed.

“You two should also make Kellion chicken and Pink-fur chicken and give them as gifts.”

Kueng!

[Understood!]

“Yes! Hyung!”

While the two were making Pink-fur Chicken and Kellion Chicken,

“Hehehe. It’s done.”

Sejun also completed the Iona Chicken, and the rest he made into Yonggary Chicken.

Then, he coated them with flour, egg wash, and breadcrumbs in three layers, applied oil on the surface, and baked them in the hearth oven.

By the way, the breadcrumbs were made by grinding up the bread Theo had brought from the black market.

It seemed like he accidentally took someone’s meal in the process, but it turned out to be handy.

While the chicken was baking,

“Guys, thanks for helping.”

Pang pang.

Sejun patted Cuengi and Ajax’s butts, praising them.

Kuehehehehe

“Eehehee.”

The two were satisfied with Sejun’s praise.

A little later,

“Guys, let’s eat!”

Chuk.

As the chicken baked well in the oven, Sejun took it out.

“It’s delicious if you dip it here.”

Sejun took out the tomato sauce and placed it on the table.

Puk.

Following Sejun’s words, Cuengi and Ajax enjoyed the chicken they made, dipping it in the sauce.

Kuehehehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehe. Delicious!]

“Eehehee! Delicious!”

“It’s really good!”

Veronica, who had finished her errand for Flamie, also returned and marveled at the taste of the Yonggary Chicken.

Then,

“Puhuhut.”

Swoosh,

Theo sneakily put the Vice Chairman Theo Chicken and Iona Chicken into his bag with his front paws. Since Chairman Park made Iona Chicken and Vice Chairman Theo Chicken, these are now collectible, meow!

Crunch.

Unaware, Sejun enjoyed the well-baked Yonggary Chicken.

After the meal was over,

“Now, go give it to them.”

Kueng!

[Understood!]

“Yes! Hyung!”

Cuengi and Ajax took the chicken they made to Pink-fur and Kellion.

Kueng!

[Mom, Cuengi made this!]

Kuong!

[Looks delicious. Let me try it…]

As Pink-fur was about to put the chicken in her mouth, she felt Cuengi’s gaze.

Drool.

Cuengi was looking at her, drooling. Mom, Cuengi wants to eat it together!

Kuong!

[Shall we share?]

Kueng!

[Great!]

Pink-fur and Cuengi shared the chicken happily and fell asleep.

***

“Grandpa, I made this for you.”

Ajax approached Kellion and handed him the chicken he made.

-Is this…supposed to be me?

Kellion was perplexed by the chicken that barely resembled a dragon if you squinted hard enough.

“Yes! It’s Grandpa! Look, there’s even your name here!”

Ajax pointed to the name written on the chicken with tomato sauce, confidently responding. It seemed even he knew it didn’t resemble Kellion, so he had scribbled Kellion’s name on it with tomato sauce.

-Uhahahaha. Thank you!

“Try it quickly! It’s delicious!”

-Grandpa isn’t hungry right now, so I’ll eat it later.

“Okay! Then eat it later! I’m going to sleep now! Goodnight, Grandpa.”

As Ajax bowed 90 degrees and greeted him as Sejun had taught,

-Oh…okay. Sleep well!

Kellion barely managed to respond, clutching his heart.

After Ajax left,

–Permanent preservation!

Kellion cast a top-tier preservation spell on the Kellion chicken.

And then,

-Uhahahaha. Look at this! My grandson made this for me!

He began to brag to the other dragons about the chicken Ajax made.

As the night deepened in the Black Tower,

Clang.

“We’re going to the White Tower tomorrow…”

Sejun checked the items in the void storage, prepared what was needed, and went to sleep.

***

The next morning.

“Alright!”

[During sleep, 10% of your life force has been stored.]

[The Life Orb is 1.5% complete.]

[Over 24 hours, 0.1 magic power has been accumulated.]

[Your magic power has increased by 0.1.]

Right upon waking, the effects of the talents: Extra Life and Accumulating Magic Power Circuit appeared as messages.

“Hehehe. Nice.”

Though not large, the feeling of something accumulating every day wasn’t bad.

While checking the messages,

[You have created a 3300 square meter field of Magical Cherry Tomatoes.]

[You have gained 2000 experience points.]

Experience points increased as the field was created. It was thanks to the mushroom ants who had been working since dawn.

“I should get up too.”

Seeing the diligent mushroom ants, Sejun couldn’t stay still.

“Meow…”

So, he picked up Theo, placed him on his lap, and hurried outside,

Tap. Tap.

Walking through the farm, letting the crops hear his footsteps.

Since he might not be able to let them hear his footsteps for a few days once at the White Tower, he walked as slowly as possible.

Then, he went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

The breakfast menu was boiled Egg Fruits and roasted sweet potatoes.

He prepared food that could be eaten anytime, not knowing what would happen at the White Tower.

After eating breakfast and preparing to go to the White Tower, Sejun asked,

“Are you guys ready?”

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, don’t worry, meow! Just trust me, meow!”

Kueng!

[Cuengi will protect Daddy!]

“Eehee! Sejun hyung, don’t worry. The White Tower is my territory!”

The three assured Sejun to trust them in response to his question.

Kking! Kking!

‘My body is stiff and uncomfortable! Take me with you too!’

Fenrir squirmed in Veronica’s arms, asking to be taken along.

However,

“No!”

Quaak!

As Veronica exerted strength in her arms holding Fenrir,

Kiiing…

Fenrir passed out.

“Well, you go ahead Ajax, It’ll take some time to come down.”

“Okay! Hyung!”

“Ajax, return.”

“Hyung! I’ll go down quickly! If it’s urgent, just call me!”

[Ajax Mamebe of the White Tower’s Tower Farmer is being reverse summoned.]

Ajax waved his hand and disappeared.

“Theo and Cuengi, go in too.”

“Understood, meow!”

Kueng!

[Understood!]

Clang.

“Then we’ll be going! Aileen, I’ll be back!”

Sejun closed the void storage, greeted the dragons and Aileen, and

Swoosh.

Disappeared after unfolding the land deed of the 83rd floor of the White Tower.

And then,

(Pip-pip?)

The golden bat, who had been hiding on Sejun’s back and left alone, was flustered.

Usually, when using a land deed, if Golden Bat was attached to Sejun’s body, they moved together.

At that moment,

Clang.

“Meow?”

Kueng?

The void storage opened, and Theo and Cuengi were also ejected into thin air.

Something was off.

-What? Wasn’t Sejun’s void storage multidimensional?!

-How can he go there unprepared?!

The dragons immediately understood the problem. The void storage Sejun used was limited to the Black Tower.

While everyone was worried about Sejun,

[You have arrived at the White Tower’s 83rd floor.]

Sejun arrived at the White Tower.

“It’s really dark here.”

It was so dark that nothing could be seen.

[Night has fallen.]

[<Title: The One Who Restored the Night> has been activated.]

[All stats increase by 20% during the night.]

Messages appeared. There were some benefits to the darkness.

Snap.

Having already heard about the situation in the White Tower from Ajax, Sejun wasn’t startled and snapped his fingers to create light.

Whoosh.

After securing his visibility with fire,

“Void storage.”

Sejun tried to summon the void storage to call out Theo and Cuengi.

However,

“Huh?!”

The void storage did not appear.

“What?!”

Sejun was perplexed.

Then,

Krrrrung.

The growling of beasts, trying to drive away an intruder in their territory, was heard.

[A quest has been generated.]

[Quest: Defeat the Water deer occupying the 83rd floor’s cherry farm or reclaim the rights to the land through peaceful agreement.]

Reward: Recognition as the rightful owner of the 83rd floor farm in the White Tower.

“Water deer?!”

What?

Whoosh.

As Sejun increased the fire, water deer hiding behind the trees, making growling noises, became visible.

“Hehehe. Hey, guys, hello.”

Sejun approached the frightened water deer with a smile.
