Solo Farming In The Tower

Chapter 614: Show Your Sincerity, Meow!

TL: Hanguk

Red Tower Administrator’s Area.

Paaat.

[The Red Tower has begun its growth into the Great Red Tower.]

[10,000 days remaining until the Great Red Tower’s growth is complete.]

[You have grown five more World Trees beyond the Great Red Tower’s growth conditions.]

[The time required for Red Tower’s growth has been reduced by 5,000 days.]

…

..

The crystal orb shone golden as the Red Tower began its transformation into the Great Red Tower.

And then,

“Pwahaha! We did it!”

The Red Tower Administrator, Ramter, cheered as he read the messages in the crystal orb.

Out of the nine towers, four had already become Great Towers, the Great Black Tower, the Great Blue Tower, the Great White Tower, and the Great Green Tower.

Though they were late, they weren’t too late.

Since the Great Red Tower was the fifth out of nine, it was right in the middle.

Behind the Great Red Tower, there were still four towers that had yet to undergo their transformation.

“Sejun, thank you.”

Ramter thought of Sejun, who had made the greatest contribution to the Red Tower’s growth.

Thanks to Flamie, Beanie and seven other World Trees had grown in the Red Tower, far exceeding the requirement of cultivating three World Trees.

Recently, Theo had sold divine relics in the tower, allowing them to surpass the requirement of collecting three divine relics.

Additionally, lowering the Red Tower’s heat energy below 70% was a condition that Sejun’s watermelon wine helped achieve, bringing it down to 55%, exceeding the requirement.

Sejun had also driven locusts to extinction using his green onions, completing the achievement of accomplishing a great feat.

Since exceeding a condition counted as completing two growth conditions, Sejun family had met seven out of the eight required conditions for the Great Red Tower’s growth.

The last condition was fulfilled when Udon became a B-rank Tower Farmer.

As expected of our Sejun.

“I should give our Sejun some kind of gift.”

Crack.

To express his gratitude for Sejun’s immense contribution to the Great Red Tower’s growth, Ramter cut off a small piece of his own horn and,

“Bestowal.”

He began crafting a gift for Sejun.

***

77th Floor of the Great Blue Tower.

As Sejun swam toward the glowing light,

Huh?!

Under a massive rock, he spotted a small passageway partially covered in sand.

“There was a place like this?”

If not for the light, it would have been nearly impossible to find the passage.

“Could the Creator God’s Tablet be here?”

Lying on his stomach, Sejun cleared the sand and entered the passageway.

“Whoa?!”

From deep within the trench, an intense light was rising from below. It was like an enormous cliff had been flipped upside down, with the brilliance of the noon sun pouring out from its depths.

I need to check it out.

Sejun picked up a rock from the surroundings and leaped down into the trench, sinking rapidly along with his companions.

However,

This is getting boring.

The trench was so deep that even after 30 minutes of descending, they hadn’t even reached halfway down.

“Cuengi.”

Kueng!

With Cuengi’s help, they used telekinesis to quickly reach the bottom.

“It’s really bright.”

He discovered the source of the blinding light,

The light was coming through a passage at the bottom of the trench.

“What’s in here?”

Trusting his companions, Sejun fearlessly stepped forward to enter the passage.

At that moment,

The Orb of Death’s Energy formed ominous red letters in front of Sejun, issuing a warning.

Even with everyone here, I’ll die?!

A shiver ran down Sejun’s spine as he realized the formidable danger ahead.

But he was mistaken.

“Chairman Park, be careful, meow! This passage leads to the Dimensional Sea, meow!”

The Orb of Death’s Energy had issued its warning because the passage led to the Dimensional Sea.

“Really?”

Having been educated by the great dragons about the Dimensional Sea, Sejun quickly retreated.

He then picked up a rock from the ground and tossed it into the passage,

Kwaang!

A set of massive, fang-like teeth snapped shut like a bear trap, shattering the rock into dust.

“That’s?!”

Only then could Sejun identify what was giving off the light.

An anglerfish?!

It was a giant anglerfish with a round body and a glowing lure on its head.

It had been luring prey with its light.

At that moment,

“Meow?! Chairman Park, I feel a pull from that giant fish! Let’s catch it, meow!”

Theo, feeling an intense pull, stared at the anglerfish and spoke.

“Really?”

Could it have swallowed the Creator God’s Tablet?

It seemed likely that the tablet had fallen into the trench and was swallowed by the giant anglerfish.

That would explain why Theo’s golden front paw hadn’t been able to find it.

The trench was extremely deep, and if the anglerfish spent the day elsewhere and only came here at night to hunt, it made sense.

“Guys, it’s a fishing competition! Whoever catches that thing first wins!”

Sejun shouted, pointing at the giant anglerfish.

“Puhuhut. Sounds good, meow! I, Vice Chairman Theo, will catch that giant fish, meow!”

Kuehehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehe. Cuengi has gotten good at fishing now, too, you know!]

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hehe. Kabulto, get ready!]

Theo, Cuengi, and the Blackie Family all started pulling out their fishing rods, ready to catch the anglerfish.

After the ice fishing on the 89th floor of the tower, Sejun felt the need for better fishing rods, so he had asked the dragons to make them using elastic dragon scales.

By the way, Sejun had also sent a fishing rod made of dragon scales to his father Park Chun-ho who loved fishing.

Park Chun-ho went fishing every weekend, enjoying being the envy of everyone at the fishing spot, but

“Stop wandering around so much!”

In the end, his wife, Kim Mi-ran, confiscated the fishing rod after he started going fishing every weekend.

“Alright, let’s begin!”

“Meow!”

Kueng!

Kking!

At Sejun’s call, his group swung their fishing rods toward the anglerfish, casting their bait.

The anglerfish reacted.

And the bait that caught its attention was,

Yol-yol! Yol-yol!

[I’m getting eaten! Great Blackie-nim, pull me up quickly!]

It was none other than Kabulto, the youngest member of the Blackie Family, dangling at the end of the fishing line.

But a bait’s job is to be eaten.

Kking!

[Kabulto! Move quickly and get inside!]

Blackie ordered Kabulto to dive into the anglerfish’s stomach.

Yol-yol…

[Yes…]

With teary eyes, Kabulto charged into the anglerfish’s mouth.

The youngest in the Blackie Family truly had the toughest job.

Boom!

Fortunately, Kabulto wasn’t chewed up and safely entered the anglerfish’s stomach.

Kking!

[Pull! Now!]

The Blackie Family pulled with all their might, but the anglerfish didn’t budge.

Instead, the anglerfish began slowly pulling backward,

Kking?!

Dragging Blackie family along with it.

“Blackie!”

Sejun dropped his own fishing rod and grabbed onto Blackie, trying to stop them from being pulled away.

“Meow!”

Kueng!

Theo and Cuengi also dropped their fishing rods and rushed to help.

Now, Sejun’s entire group was gathered, pulling on a single fishing rod together,

Whoosh!

The giant anglerfish twisted its head sharply.

And then,

“Huh?!”

“Meow?!”

Kueng?

Kking?!

Just like fish caught on a hook, Sejun and his companions were yanked into the anglerfish’s mouth!

The master of the push-and-pull game, the anglerfish, had superior fishing skills.

The final winner of the fishing competition, was the anglerfish.

***

“Did we just get eaten?”

“Puhuhut. It seems so, meow!”

Theo replied cheerfully to Sejun’s question.

Nothing scared Theo as long as he was with Sejun.

As Sejun and Theo chatted,

Yol-yol!

[Great Blackie-nim, you’ve come to save me!]

Kabulto, misunderstanding the situation, was moved to tears, thinking Blackie had come to rescue him.

104.28.193.250

“Let’s find the tablet first.”

Sejun got his team together and began exploring the anglerfish’s stomach.

As they wandered around inside the anglerfish’s belly,

“Chairman Park, the strongest pull is coming from over here, meow!”

Theo pointed to the bottom of the stomach, where acidic digestive fluids had pooled.

“Underneath that? Cuengi.”

Kueng!

At Sejun’s call, Cuengi used telekinesis to part the digestive fluids.

Like the Miracle of Moses, the fluids split apart, revealing various objects that had sunk to the bottom.

Most of them were severely corroded by the digestive acids.

However, some objects remained completely undamaged, even by the anglerfish’s powerful stomach acid.

[Indomitable Iron Wall]

[Magic Stream Fragment]

…

..

.

They were legendary weapons or items imbued with powerful magic.

“Hehehe. Vice Chairman Theo, let’s collect them.”

“Puhuhut. Sounds good, meow!”

As Sejun and his companions searched through half of the stomach’s floor, collecting valuable items,

“Found it!”

At last, the Creator God’s Tablet was revealed.

At that moment,

Sploosh.

The digestive fluids suddenly shook.

The giant anglerfish had begun moving away from the passage connected to the 77th floor of the Blue Tower to another location.

***

Forest of Creation.

“This should be enough.”

The Trial Statue spoke while observing the avatar created by Flamie.

However,

[Not yet! I can still do more!]

Flamie refused to give up.

It wasn’t because Flamie hadn’t mastered what the Trial Statue had taught,

“The avatar holds 5% of your power. That’s more than enough to take the trial.”

[No! I need an even weaker avatar!]

But simply because Flamie was trying way too hard.

This World Tree candidate is really serious about the test.

The Trial Statue looked at Flamie with admiration.

However,

This isn’t enough to stay with Sejun-nim!

Flamie’s true goal was to create a weaker avatar to play with Sejun.

What Flamie wanted was an avatar with only one-trillionth of her power.

There was still a long way to go.

As Flamie continued pouring effort into making an avatar,

[Oh?!]

Sejun-nim is in danger!

The tree magic cast on Sejun alerted Flamie of his danger.

Why is Sejun in the Dimensional Sea?!

Flamie discovered that Sejun was in the Dimensional Sea.

Although confused, there was only one priority, getting Sejun back to the Tower.

Boom!

Flamie hurriedly moved her roots.

***

Dimensional Sea.

Rumble.

Suddenly, a massive current formed, pushing everything away.

The giant anglerfish, which had been about to move elsewhere, was also swept up in the current, dragged back into the passage connected to the 77th floor of the Blue Tower.

The anglerfish was helpless against the powerful sea currents, being forced back through the deep trench, up through the sea, and then into the sky.

The sea on the 77th floor of the Blue Tower reversed its flow.

No, it wasn’t just this floor. Most floors connected to the Dimensional Sea experienced a similar phenomenon, albeit to different extents.

A short while later,

Boom.

As the current weakened, the anglerfish crashed onto a rocky island,

“Urgh!”@@novelbin@@

And with the impact of the fall, Sejun and his party were spat out from the anglerfish’s mouth.

“Huh?! This is?”

The 77th floor of the Blue Tower?

As Sejun regained his senses, he looked around in shock.

He was sure they had been at the very bottom of the trench, but now they were back on land.

“What just happened?”

Sejun was completely confused about how they had ended up here.

Puhuhut. Flamie, thank you, meow!

Hehehe. Thanks, Flamie-noona, you saved us, you know!

Theo and Cuengi expressed their gratitude to Flamie.

Kihihit. Kking!

[Hehe. The Great Blackie has won!]

At some point, Blackie had climbed on top of the anglerfish’s body, declaring victory.

A little while later,

“Kin-nim, what does this say?”

Sejun asked Kin to read the inscription on the Creator God’s Tablet.

[Seventh Commandment – When all Tower Farmers gather, the abilities of all Tower Farmers will be enhanced.]

So if everyone gathers, all their abilities increase?

“Not just mine?”

That would make more sense balance-wise…

Sejun felt slightly disappointed.

“Alright, let’s head back.”

After securing the Creator God’s Tablet, Sejun returned to the Black Tower.

Of course, he compensated Kin by giving him watermelon wine and Transcendence Black Beans as payment for reading the tablet.

When Sejun arrived back at the Black Tower,

-Sejun, I need your help!

Tier suddenly called out to him.

“Huh? What do you need help with?”

-Sejun, I need you to turn our Purple Tower into Great Purple Tower.

Because now the Purple Tower was the only one in the Four Dragon Council that wasn’t a Great Tower.

If left as it was, it could end up last among the Nine Towers.

And then,

“Puhuhut. Tier-nim, if you want the help of our Great Hybrid Chairman Park, you need to show your sincerity, meow!”

Theo, clinging to Sejun’s knee, boldly extended his front paw toward Tier.
