Solo Farming In The Tower-Chapter 680: Heheh. Reborn Sejun Park. How Magnificent.

Black Tower, 99th Floor, Midnight.

(Bat-Bat. Good evening, everyone.)

Bat-Bat, who had woken up later than usual after spending the day tirelessly collecting money to save Sejun, began its nightly activities.

Hungry.

Flap. Flap.

First, Bat-Bat headed to the cooking area to fill its stomach.

-Bat-Bat, thanks for helping out earlier. You’re the best!

(Bahahaha.)

Bat-Bat beamed with happiness as it read Sejun’s note and found a fruit bento left for it.

I’ll find treasures quickly and fill Sejun’s subspace storage! That way, Sejun will be even happier and healthier!

Burning with determination to locate the treasures hidden by the gods of Tartarus, Bat-Bat began eating the fruit with combat-like intensity.

Slurp. Slurp.

Delicious!

Once it had finished eating,

Swoosh. Swoosh.

Bat-Bat diligently opened dimensional gates and explored three of the five worlds Tolyong had scouted: Crpies, Nya-Mok, and Tsuyne.

While traversing dozens of worlds,

Swoosh.

Bat-Bat opened a dimensional gate to a new world and wandered around, eventually spotting a resident.

Looks like a mix of Big Brother and Sejun!

The resident Bat-Bat encountered was a feline humanoid—a Nya-Mokian.

(Bat-Bat! What’s the name of this world?)

Bat-Bat approached, its curiosity piqued, and asked.

“Nya-haha. What an amusing question. This world is called Nya-Mok. I’m Hiren.”

The cat-person, speaking with an accent reminiscent of Theo’s, answered cheerfully.

(Bat-Bat! I found it!)

Realizing it had located the world with the hidden treasure, Bat-Bat was ecstatic.

What’s this little creature? It’s fascinating... and looks valuable.

Hiren’s eyes gleamed with a mix of curiosity and greed as it studied Bat-Bat, clearly with no good intentions.

However,

If I open a dimensional gate right in front of the treasure, Sejun will be so happy!

Consumed with thoughts of pleasing Sejun, Bat-Bat didn’t notice Hiren’s predatory gaze.

(Bat-Bat! Hiren, do you know where Eryon Castle is?)

Bat-Bat asked if Hiren knew the location of the treasure’s hiding place.

“Eryon Castle? Of course I do, nya. I can guide you there, nya.”

(Bat-Bat! Really?! Thank you!)

Bat-Bat cheerfully accepted Hiren’s offer.

On the way to Eryon Castle,

(Bat-Bat! Why aren’t there any other residents around? Where is everyone?)

Bat-Bat began to notice the eerie absence of other Nya-Mokians.

“Of course, nya. This is my land, and everything on it belongs to me, nya.”

Hiren grinned ominously as it answered, dispelling Bat-Bat’s curiosity.

(Bat-Bat?!)

Sensing something was wrong, Bat-Bat tried to fly high into the sky, but—

“Nya-haha. Too late, nya. Chains of Binding! Restrain!”

Flash.

Suddenly, a massive purple magic circle appeared beneath Bat-Bat.

Clink. Clank.

Thick chains ending in shackles rose from the ground, surrounding Bat-Bat.

Clink.

The shackles snapped around Bat-Bat’s legs.

Though the chains weren’t strong enough to hold Bat-Bat,

What?!

The moment the shackles locked, Bat-Bat’s mind was flooded with memories of being trapped alone in the subspace storage by Skaram.

Terror overwhelmed Bat-Bat, rendering it powerless.

(Bat... Bat... Sejun... I can’t breathe... I’m scared...)

Falling into a panic, Bat-Bat lost consciousness.

Clink. Clank.

The chains dragged Bat-Bat into the magic circle, which vanished as Bat-Bat was pulled underground.

“Nya-haha. My collection grows, nya.”

Hiren, the corrupted hero and abyssal witch of Nya-Mok, grinned as she headed to her castle—Eryon Castle.

*****

Forest of Creation.

“You have succeeded in transforming all five barren lands into thriving environments. You have passed the fourth trial. Well done. Take your reward.”

The trial statue acknowledged the success of Flamy, granting it a substantial increase in power.

[Hehe. Only one more trial left?]

Despite the power surge, Flamy wasn’t upset as usual.

Thanks to the Law of Creation: Hold Your Breath to Weaken, Flamy could now use Authority: Sickly Girl to stay by Sejun’s side for about an hour.

[If Sejun gets a bit stronger, I can stretch it to three minutes more! Hehe. Exciting!]

Rejoicing at Sejun’s recent improvements, Flamy was ready to tackle the final trial.

[When does the last trial begin?]

Flamy asked the trial statue.

“The trial has already begun.”

[What?! But you didn’t tell me what it is!]

“The fifth trial of the Tree of Creation starts with finding the problem.”

Flamy learned it had to first locate the trial itself.

[Avatars, spread out and search! Quickly!]

[Hehe. Yes!]

Thousands of Flamy’s avatars spread across countless worlds, seeking the final trial.

*****

The Next Morning.

“Alright!”

Feeling light and energized after his transformation, Sejun jumped out of bed.

“Heheh. Reborn Sejun Park. How magnificent.”

Admiring his enhanced body and handsome face, Sejun indulged in a moment of self-appreciation.

Is this okay?

Sejun glanced at Theo, only to find him sound asleep alongside Iona.

Purr... Snooze...

Relieved, Sejun smirked.

Why am I even checking on Theo?!

Annoyed at himself, Sejun grabbed Theo’s cheek and pulled it.

Hehehe. Do you admit your guilt, huh?!

As he played with Theo’s marshmallow-like cheeks, most of Sejun’s lingering irritation melted away.

“...Nya... Chairman... Sorry...”

Even in his sleep, Theo mumbled an apology.

Amused, Sejun’s mood lifted completely. He gathered his companions and stepped outside, opening his subspace storage.

As usual, Sejun inspected his disaster farm and hunted monsters.

“Theo, claws.”

“...Got it, nya...”

Though drowsy, Theo extended his claws sluggishly.

Sejun aimed Theo’s paw at a target and pressed on it.

Swoosh.

A mana blade shot out—a demonstration of Theo’s Single Strike Slash skill.

Swoosh. Swoosh.

Sejun’s Hunting Routine

Using Theo’s Single Strike Slash, even as Theo slept, Sejun efficiently dispatched the locusts swarming the disaster farm.

[Congratulations.]

[Lucky Subject of the Black Tower, Park Theo, has defeated the first disaster of destruction, the White Locust.]

[You have gained 50% of Park Theo’s experience: 50 million EXP.]

[Due to the effect of <Title: Master of the Disaster Farm>, you have gained an additional 100 million EXP.]

While hunting with Theo was less rewarding than hunting alone—earning only half the experience—it was much faster and more convenient.

The carcasses of the disasters were easily collected using the Authority: Trivial and Timid Plunder, allowing Sejun to take one object within 100 meters undetected.

As Sejun continued tending to the farm,

[Congratulations.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have gained 10 bonus stats.]

[Strength increased by 30.]

[Strength potential increased by 1%.]

Sejun leveled up at the slime farm, reaching Level 190.

[A Job Quest has appeared.]

[Job Quest: Master the Harvesting skill.]

Reward: Unlock Level 191, 600 billion Tower Coins, +1300 to all stats.]

Fortunately, Sejun had already mastered the Harvesting (Master) skill, so the quest was instantly completed.

[Quest Completed.]

[You have unlocked Level 191.]

[You have received 600 billion Tower Coins.]

[You have gained +1300 to all stats.]

“Hehehe.”

This is the sweet life of Sejun, the diligent genius.

Sejun grinned with satisfaction, reveling in the bonus stats from leveling up.

A New Day of Farming

After finishing his work at the disaster farm, Sejun exited the subspace storage.

“Summon Door.”

Opening the gateway to the tenth tower floor, he resumed planting seeds and harvesting crops. With his body feeling light and his spirits high, the work seemed easier than ever.

“Kueng?!”

[Sejun! Are you there?!]

A voice called out from outside.

“Yeah! I’m here! I’ll be right out!”

Recognizing the voice of Pink Fur, Sejun hurried back to the Black Tower. Pink Fur’s arrival meant it was time to leave Queng in her care while she trained. And, of course, it meant he needed to prepare choco pies.

“Quuuh... Our Queng is still in dreamland, huh?”

“Quheh-heh-heh...”

Attaching the still-sleeping Queng to his side, Sejun headed to the cooking area with Pink Fur.

“Cooking.”

Using Sejun No. 12’s replication skill, he quickly prepared enough choco pies to fill Pink Fur’s snack pouch.

“Here you go.”

When Sejun handed over the pouch, Pink Fur bowed in gratitude but then asked,

“Kueng, Kueng? Thank you, but where’s Bat-Bat?”

“Bat-Bat? Of course, it’s on my left shoulder... huh?! It’s not here?”

As Sejun reached for his shoulder, he realized Bat-Bat was missing.

Frantically searching himself, Sejun’s movements woke his companions.

“Chairman Park, what’s going on, nya?!”

“Tweet?”

“Queng?”

[Dad, what’s wrong?]

[The great Blackie woke up because of the butler! Butler, hand over sweet potato strips as compensation!]

“Guys, have you seen Bat-Bat?!”

Sejun’s urgent question alarmed the group.

“Nya?! Chairman Park, Bat-Bat isn’t here, nya!”

“Tweet. I don’t see it.”

“Queng!”

[Bat-Bat isn’t here!]

[Where’s Bat-Bat?!]

Despite searching together, they couldn’t find Bat-Bat anywhere.

“Where could Bat-Bat have gone?”

After a moment of thought, Sejun’s face darkened.

Could it be?!

Gathering his companions, he rushed through the dimensional gate created by Bat-Bat.

[You have entered Level 9 World: Nya-Mok.]

[System 371 informs you of the world you’ve entered, seeking to stay in your favor.]

“Nya-Mok? That’s the world with the hidden treasure. Was Bat-Bat searching for it?”

Though Sejun tried to stay calm, he couldn’t shake a growing sense of unease.

“Worrying is pointless. Iona, can you find Bat-Bat’s location?”

Since Iona had cast tracking magic on everyone for convenience, Sejun hoped it could help.

“Tweet-tweet-tweet. Just a moment. Magic power, follow the mark...”

Iona activated her spell and pointed north, toward a sky heavy with dark clouds.

This feels wrong.

The uneasiness in Sejun’s heart intensified.

“Quheh-heh. Queng!”

[Hehe. Dad, climb onto Queng’s back!]

Queng enlarged itself to carry the group.

“Queng, full speed!”

“Queng!”

[Got it!]

BOOM!

Queng shot forward, breaking the sound barrier as it raced northward, determined to ease Sejun’s fears.
