Solo Farming In The Tower-Novel

Whoosh.

“Okay. Is it okay now?”

Sejun used Kaiser’s scale to make a mark on Theo’s left hind paw. He was meticulous even with the tiniest details, ensuring there wouldn’t be any issues with Theo’s golden front paw.

Thus, the black dragon tattoo was engraved on Theo’s left hind paw.

“Chairman Park, thank you for the proof mark, meow!”

Theo sat down happily, looking at the black dragon tattoo engraved on the pink squishy pad of his left paw. Compared to the tattoo that occupied Sejun’s entire left arm, Theo’s tattoo was significantly smaller.

-The more magic power you have, the smaller the size of the tattoo. It’s what you lack. When will the magic power…

Sejun felt weird and asked Kaiser, and got an unnecessary scolding in return without gaining anything.

‘I’ve grown too!’

Sejun had gotten stronger. His magic power had increased, and the black dragon tattoo that used to extend over his shoulder had become smaller, now not exceeding his shoulder.

But telling this in front of Kaiser was no different than an ant boasting its strength before an elephant, so he let it go. It would only lead to more scolding.

Krueng!

[Daddy, I want a proof mark too!]

Cuengi spoke to Sejun, who had returned after listening to the scolding. Cuengi extended its right front paw to Sejun and said.

“Okay. Here.”

When Sejun placed Kaiser’s scale on Cuengi’s extended paw,

Whoosh.

Kaiser’s scale seeped into Cuengi’s paw, and a small black dragon tattoo was engraved on Cuengi’s front paw pad. The tattoo was adorably small.

‘Our Cuengi has high magic power.’

Thanks to that, he realized that Cuengi’s magic power was incredibly high.

Krueng!

[Big brother! I have a proof mark too!]

Excited Cuengi showed off his black dragon tattoo engraved on his front paw to Theo.

“Puhuhut. My mark is bigger than Cuengi’s, meow! Just by looking at this, you can tell that I’m the second-in-command here, meow!”

Theo puffed his chest out, hands on hips, at having a larger mark than Cuengi.

Krueng?

[Why is Cuengi’s mark small?]

Cuengi compared his mark with Sejun and Theo’s, looking disappointed. Though a smaller mark was better, things were opposite here.

Just then,

“Chairman Park, let’s give a mark to Iona too, meow!”

Theo, in a good mood, extended his favor to Iona.

“Sure. You do it.”

“Got it, meow! Now, take this, meow!”

Theo, having received Kaiser’s scale from Sejun, placed the scale on Iona’s body himself.

And then,

Swoosh.

Soon the scale was absorbed into Iona’s body.

However,

“Meow?!”

Whether it was because Iona was asleep, an error occurred. As a result, a hamster with a black dragon tattoo on its back was born.

“Pfft! Vice Chairman Theo, I know nothing about this.”

Krueng!

[Big brother! Cuengi knows nothing about this either!]

Sejun and Cuengi abandoned Theo and ran away to the field.

“Chairman Park! Cuengi! Let’s go together, meow!”

Theo hurriedly chased after them. We are one, meow!

Shortly after,

“Kyuueut! I slept so well.”

Iona stretched and woke up.

“Sejun, then I will head south.”

“O… Okay.”

As soon as Iona got up, she immediately led the wizards south in order to exterminate the fire ants.

And the wizards who witnessed the black dragon tattoo on Iona’s back. None of them dared to ask about it. No, they were too afraid to ask.

‘Scary!’

Iona’s aura was already intimidating, and now even more so with the tattoo on her back. As a result, the wizards obeyed her even more than usual, to exterminate the fire ants.

No one told her about it, so Iona unknowingly wandered around with the black dragon tattoo on her back, until the southern extermination was over. It was truly fortunate for Theo.

***

“What? This address? Seoul Gangnam-gu…”

While wandering around trying to figure out the location of the building, the voice of an employee was heard by the golden bat.. Thanks to that, the golden bat easily found out where it was.

(Pip-pip! Sejun, I’ve found it!)

Flap. Flap.

The golden bat flew joyously, relieved to have easily found the building’s address, and then waited to return to the tower.

(I’m bored.)

When the golden bat felt bored,

(It’s good that person……)

A song was heard from somewhere.

Pip-pip?

The golden bat followed the sound of the song to a coin karaoke. It had developed an interest in singing while singing songs to the trees from the 77th floor of the tower.

And the golden bat, flying around the coin karaoke rooms, observing people’s behavior, put a thousand won into the karaoke machine and sang. But there were only two songs credited, and they ended quickly.

(Pip-pip! It’s fun! I was in the dark. The one who pulled me out then~ was Sejun~)

The golden bat, after singing a thousand won’s worth of songs, got excited and began to sing its own compositions. Although there were still 3,000 won left, it couldn’t recklessly spend Sejun’s money.

(Pip-pip. I feel good.)

As the golden bat was about to leave the karaoke room after singing all the songs,

Remaining songs: 1 song

(Huh?!)

Despite having sung all of them, there was still one song left on the screen.

Pip-pip!

The golden bat happily sang one more song. But even though the golden bat kept singing, the one song never decreased.

(This must be magic!)

The golden bat happily continued to sing. It never thought that someone at the counter kept adding songs.

“Ah. It’s soothing.”

It was the karaoke bar owner, Hwang Min-ho, who was healed by the golden bat’s singing.

Then,

Poof.

The golden bat, still singing, disappeared while holding the wireless microphone..

***

“Oh! It has grown well.”

Sejun slightly peeled the husk covering the corn and examined the corn kernels as he spoke. Passing through the cornfield, he saw corn with brown husks, and when he checked, the corn kernels had indeed grown well.

Snip snip

Sejun began to harvest corn from the fallen cornstalks on the ground.

An hour later.

Gororong.

Theo was fast asleep, sprawled out on Sejun’s lap, and,

Krueng!

[I want to eat steamed corn quickly!]

Cuengi was eagerly peeling the corn husk, looking forward to the corn that Sejun would soon steam for him.

Crack.

Krueng!

Of course, about half of the peeled corn went into Cuengi’s stomach. It’s delicious even raw!

And then,

“There’s too much……”

Looking at the 10,000 or so corn ears that were not yet harvested, Sejun was briefly lost in thought, then brought the Myler’s hoe that he had left stuck in front of the house.

And then,

“Land Moving.”

He swung the hoe and used its skill.

‘Swallow and sort!’

With strong will in his head. Since it was said to be infinitely versatile, he thought this would be possible as well.

Sssss.

The corn trees on about 33 square meters of land were buried in the ground as if they were absorbed into the ground. Since the ground was not moved significantly, the magic power consumption was also low.

A moment later,

[You have harvested 102 Stamina Corn.]

[Your job experience has increased slightly.]

[Your proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 6 has increased slightly.]

[You have gained 3060 experience points.]

Sssss.

Along with the message, the corn trees rose from the ground, and the harvested corn came up separately and piled up.

“Is this possible?!”

Sejun looked at the piled-up corn stalks and corn with a dumbfounded expression, as if he couldn’t believe what he had done.

And then,

“Land Moving! Land Moving!”

He used the skill in succession.

Then,

Sssss.

Sssss.

Corn stalks began to be absorbed into the ground at intervals.

“Land Moving! Land Moving!”

Sejun used the skill on another piece of land without caring if the skill was activated well.

When he had used the Land Moving skill 10 times,

[You have harvested 97 Stamina Corn.]

…

..

.

Messages began to appear that corn had been harvested.

“As expected.”

Sejun confirmed as he looked at the messages.

‘There’s something that responds to my will.’

He didn’t know exactly what it was. But when he used a skill, something carried out his thoughts to the end, even if he wasn’t paying attention.

Furthermore, when he used the skill, thinking the same thing, it seemed to learn, allowing the skill to be used with less and less concentration.

“But what is moving according to my thoughts?”

While Sejun was lost in thought,

(Sejun! Sejun! I found it!)

The golden bat, back from the Earth, flew in holding two Choco Pies.

***

The next day at lunchtime.

“Kyoo-Kyoo-Kyoo, who did this?!”

Iona, who had wiped out all the fire ants near the land where she was going to build the wizard tower, angrily pointed to her back and spoke, in a furious kyoo-level 3 state.

Exterminating the fire ants had been harder than Iona anticipated, especially since the queen fire ant’s nest was located on the land where she planned to build the tower.

Of course, the fire ant queen was killed, but Iona’s prideful snowy white fur was scorched in the intense resistance from fire ant queen. So, she trimmed and washed her fur…

“Kyoo?”

While checking her body in a mirror made of ice, Iona discovered a black dragon tattoo engraved on her back.

And she immediately rushed here. Because only when she was with Sejun and Theo, she let her guard down enough for such a tattoo to be engraved.

“Vice Chairman Theo did it. But Vice Chairman Theo went down to the 40th floor of the tower yesterday?”

Sejun, who heard the address that the golden bat found out yesterday.

“Vice Chairman Theo, go down and ask Han Tae-jun to buy the building at the address the golden bat found.”

“Meow… I don’t want to, meow! I just came up, meow! I want to stay longer , meow!”

Theo, who didn’t want to leave Sejun’s lap, rubbed his forehead against Sejun’s cheek, acting cute.

“Iona will be here soon, are you okay with that? I’m just worried about you.”

“Meow?!”

At Sejun’s words, Theo remembered what he had done to Iona.

“If you go down, I’ll talk to Iona and calm her down.”

“Really, meow?”

“Vice Chairman Theo, don’t you trust me?”

“No, meow! Of course, I trust you, meow!”

At Sejun’s words, Theo nodded his head vigorously. Even if he didn’t trust himself, he trusted Sejun. So, Theo went down to the 40th floor yesterday.

He might be selling crops to hunters and delivering his message to Han Tae-jun now.

“Iona, don’t be too angry. Theo engraving the tattoo without permission was wrong, but it was done with good intentions.”

“Kyoo-even so, this is too much.”

Iona looked at the black dragon tattoo on her back again and spoke. It was Kaiser’s magic, so it couldn’t be moved or erased.

“Hmm… Then, how about this? Since I couldn’t stop him, I’ll give you 1000 roasted peanuts every month for the next 6 months.”

“Ro… roasted peanuts 1000?! Hmph! Do you think I’ll be swayed by food?!”

She almost seemed convinced, but her pride wouldn’t allow her to be swayed by food.

“Then, a one-day pass for Theo’s tail.”

“Kyoot? A one-day pass for Theo’s tail?!”

Iona’s eyes widened.

“Yes. I will give you the authority to take Theo wherever you want for a day.”

Sejun had given Iona control, usually dragged around by Theo.

“Kyoot-Kyoot-Kyoot! I agree!”

That’s how Iona’s anger was pacified.

***

“Meow?! Something feels weird, meow…”

Theo arrived at the 40th floor of the tower, tilting his head.

And then,

“Humans, I’m here, meow!”

As usual, he announced his arrival to the camp’s hunters. To finish the task given by Sejun and return, he had to move quickly.

“It’s Theo!”

“The savior of the 40th floor is here!”

The waiting hunters rushed towards Theo, enthusiastically greeting him. Rumors had spread among the survivors that Theo had driven off the Black Orcs and saved the 40th floor.

“Meow?! Humans, back off, meow! Thank me from afar, meow!”

When the hunters came too close, Theo pushed them away. He didn’t like anyone getting too close except for Sejun.

Then, he started the auction as the hunters gathered.

“The first crop for sale today is the Exploding Stamina Corn that makes your hair lush, meow!”

Theo shouted, taking out a red corn.

“What?! Corn that makes hair lush?!”

The hunters’ eyes lit up at Theo’s shout.

Detoxifying green onions that cure liver cancer, Power Potatoes that cure stomach cancer.

Agility Carrots that restore sight, the crops Theo sold were conquering one earth disease after another.

And that meant that the Exploding Stamina Corn Theo brought could solve one of humanity’s biggest problems: baldness.

“100 Tower Coins!”

“500 Tower Coins!”

“1000 Tower Coins!”

The hunters began bidding without asking any question. The bids escalated quickly. Understandably, they were all bald.
