Solo Farming In The Tower-Chapter 703: Maybe I Should Ask Corruption for a Favor Later?

-You bastard! Don’t mock me!

Corruption, trying to hide the fact that his heart was shaken, acted rougher than usual.

“Vice Chairman Teo, it’s the Seo Beam!”

“Got it, nya!”

Sejun and Theo combined forces and took down Corruption with their combo attack.

After that, Corruption showed up about five more times, and Sejun was able to earn 500 billion Tower Coins thanks to the Seo Beam effect.

While Sejun and his group continued purifying the World’s Energy—

(Bat-Bat!)

Whoosh.

Bat-Bat diligently opened dimensional gates again today, searching for the treasure-hidden worlds <Crphies> and <Tsuyne>.

But—

(Bat-Bat. It’s not here either.)

Finding the two worlds turned out to be harder than expected.

Still, I’ll do my best!

Bat-Bat didn’t give up and opened another dimensional gate.

A short while later—

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

Upon arriving in a new world, Bat-Bat flew up to a passing man and asked the name of the world.

“Oh. Are you a Dimensional Drifter?”

(Bat-Bat? Dimensional Drifter?)

“Yes. We call those who come from other dimensions Dimensional Drifters. And this world’s name is Crphies.”

The man didn’t find Bat-Bat’s question strange at all. Instead, he welcomed him like meeting a foreign tourist.

Found it!

Bat-Bat was delighted at the man’s answer.

And then—

“Ah. I forgot to introduce myself. Nice to meet you. I’m Morgan.”

(Bat-Bat! Nice to meet you, Mr. Morgan! My name is Park Bat-Bat!)

After exchanging names—

“Would you like me to show you around our neighborhood?”

Morgan offered to give Bat-Bat a tour.

(Bat-Bat. Mr. Morgan, would it be okay if I came back later with my companions to get the tour?)

Bat-Bat wanted to explore together with Sejun, so he asked Morgan.

“Of course, anytime. If you want to find me, just come to that house over there.”

Morgan pointed to a massive mansion visible in the distance and walked off.

Morning on the Black Tower’s 99th floor.

“Ugh-cha.”

After purifying the World’s Energy all night, Sejun opened his eyes.

[You have completed purifying the World’s Energy by defeating all of the Corruptions, creating the <World’s Energy Freed from Corruption>.]

[You have completed the quest.]

[As a quest completion reward, all stats have increased by 7.]

[As a quest completion reward, your 0th floor stay cost has decreased by 0.0001%.]

“Nice.”

Now I only have to reduce it by 21.6991% more to be able to go home for free.

“Hehehe. Then I can safely meet Aileen too.”

Sejun giggled to himself at the thought of meeting Aileen.

No matter how hard he thought inside the Tower, there was no other way — so he decided to aim to reduce the stay cost by 100% and meet Aileen on Earth.

Aileen’s stay cost was ridiculously high, but the moment the reduction hit 100%—

The cost would be zero.

It wouldn’t be a problem at all.

As long as the system didn’t pull some bullshit.

Of course, just in case, impeaching the system was a must.

Everyone’s gonna be so jealous when I show up with Aileen, right?

Aileen was way too pretty, after all.

Sejun daydreamed about introducing Aileen to friends — even though he had no friends.

“Hehehe.”

Lost in happy fantasies for a while—

“Nya···.”

“Kking···.”

Clink.

He gathered up his group and opened his subspace warehouse.

And then—

Smoosh. Shoong.

Smoosh. Shoong.

[Black Tower Luck Merchant Park Theo has defeated the first Catastrophe of Destruction, White Locust.]

[You have gained 50 million experience points, which is 50% of the experience earned by Park Theo.]

[With the effect of <Title: Owner of the Catastrophe Farm>, you have gained an additional 100 million experience points.]

...

..

.

Sejun started hunting Catastrophes with the one-press hunting system, pressing Theo’s front paws.

A short while later—

“All done.”

“Nya···.”

Sejun finished work at the Slime Farm too, making Theo raise his front paws in a tiny celebration.

“But···”

Why haven't the Ogres and the Planet-Destroying Turtles shown up lately?

‘I wanna finish the quest and become a landlord already.’

Defeat 500 billion White Locusts (500 billion/500 billion) ✅

Defeat 50 billion Giant Bloodsucking Leeches (50 billion/50 billion) ✅

Defeat 10,000 Ogres (321/10,000) ❌

Defeat 1,000 Planet-Destroying Turtles (35/1,000) ❌

Defeat 100 billion Flesh Eaters (100 billion/100 billion) ✅

Checking the quest requirements to become the owner of the 10th Tower, Sejun felt a bit frustrated.

Everything else was completed, but he was still far behind on Ogres and Planet-Destroying Turtles.

Even though the God of Earth Patrick, the God of Farming Hamer, and the Great Silver Dragon Stella Heathron had already recognized him as the owner of the 10th Tower—

He wanted to get the official certification to truly feel like a landlord.

And it would feel so satisfying.

Hehehe.

“Maybe I should ask Corruption for a favor later?”

Like sending over some Ogres and Planet-Destroying Turtles.

Now Sejun was even thinking about asking Corruption for help.

Fuhut.

Well, we’re kinda close now anyway.

At least, Sejun thought so by himself.

Land of Destruction.

-Kekeke. Where are you trying to run?

“Eek! Please spare me!”

Corruption grabbed a fleeing spirit.

And then—

“Hey. Do you think I’m... c-cute?”

He asked, his voice shy, a little hope in his eyes.

But—

“Eek! You’re scary! Please, help me!”

The spirit was already in a panic the moment he faced Corruption.

He wasn’t thinking straight.

“Hey! Who’s killing you, huh?! Look closely at my face! Don’t you think I’m cute?!”

Corruption shoved his grotesque face right up to the spirit’s and asked again.

“Waaah! Help! A monster’s trying to eat me!”

The spirit screamed louder, begging for help.

“Tch. No need to freak out that badly.”

I guess... the only one who thinks I’m cute is that guy...

Crunch. Crunch.

Hurt by the spirit’s reaction, Corruption grumbled and ate the spirit.

“Ah. I’m bored.”

Now, scaring spirits didn’t even interest him anymore.

Would he say this face is cute too?

Instead, Corruption started practicing facial expressions again, waiting for his next meeting with Sejun.

For the first time ever, he spent time not feeling lonely or scared.

****

When Sejun stepped outside his house—

“Huh?”

Why is there a dimensional gate here?

Right in front of his house, a dimensional gate was open.

Usually, ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) the dimensional gate connected to Kkamyeol Grand Star was set up beside the house, but today, it was placed right in front of the front door — so it was natural for Sejun to find it strange.

And next to the dimensional gate—

[Chairman Sejun, I found Crphies! Let’s go treasure hunting together! — From Bat-Bat]

There was a sign that Bat-Bat had set up.

“Good job, Bat-Bat.”

Sejun patted his left shoulder, looking for Bat-Bat, and—

Pat, pat.

Gently stroked Bat-Bat’s head.

And then—

“Bat-Bat, you need to sleep a little more, so we’ll leave after lunch.”

He swung by the 10th Tower and harvested his crops.

“Herr, this is my building. It’d be no fun if you didn’t pay rent.”

[The god without divinity, Herr, says he understands.]

Sejun showed off a little while also pressuring Herr for rent.

After that, after checking in at Kkamyeol Grand Star and returning to the Black Tower—

Thunk. Thunk.

Pink Fur appeared, carrying Kueng in her mouth.

“Here.”

Sejun stuffed Pink Fur’s snack pouch full of choco pies and handed it over.

As a result, Sejun ended up using up a lot of Chocolate Bricks.

But now that Herr’s gone, what should I do about Chocolate Bricks?

A sudden worry popped into Sejun’s mind.

At that moment—

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, just trust me, nya! I’ll pray to the God of Clay, Mudd, nya! Lord Mudd, we need 10,000 Chocolate Bricks, nya!”

Theo threw his paws up to the sky, praying and calling for Mudd.

[A designated quest from Vice Chairman Park Theo of Sejun Company has been created.]

[The designated target is the God of Clay, Mudd.]

Mudd received the designated quest.

Until now, Theo had only been calling Herr, but actually, Theo could issue quests to other gods too.

Theo himself didn’t realize he was issuing quests to gods.

Thanks to that, Mudd could directly deal with Theo and receive the full welfare points without Herr skimming off the top.

A short while later—

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, Lord Mudd sent the Chocolate Bricks, nya!”

Theo pulled the Chocolate Bricks sent by Mudd out of his pack.

“Vice Chairman Teo, well done!”

“Puhuhut. This body always does well, nya!”

At Sejun’s praise, Theo puffed out his chest proudly.

And of course, our Lord Theo looks the coolest when he’s showing off.

Iona looked at Theo with eyes full of love.

Grrrr. Kking! Kking!

[Grrr. Butler! The great Kkamang did lots of good things too! Hurry up and praise me!]

Meanwhile, Kkamang, exploding with jealousy, barked fiercely asking to be praised too.

In the middle of all the commotion—

Kururong.

Berorong.

Kueng and Bat-Bat slept soundly.

“Guys, let’s eat.”

Kueng!

Of course, Kueng immediately opened his eyes at the call for food.

After finishing breakfast—

“Hm. If we go where the brightest tear falls, we’ll find the treasure...”

Sejun began to deduce the hint about where the treasure was buried.

This time, there was no designated location — just a riddle-like hint.

The brightest tear... could it be a star?

“That's it! It’s a star!”

He figured if he found the brightest star in the sky and followed where its starlight fell, he could find the treasure.

After solving the riddle excellently(?), he proudly said—

“Huhut. Vice Chairman Teo, did you see that? The great detective Sherlock Sejun’s deduction?”

He bragged to Theo.

He knew he would get stepped on, but he couldn’t hold back.

And as expected—

“Nya! Chairman Park’s face has gone rotten, nya! Everyone, stomp on him, nya!”

“Kyut-kyut-kyut. Yes!”

Kueng!

[Dad made a bad face again, da yo!]

Kkihihit. Kking!

[Hihit. Let’s stomp the butler’s face!]

Naturally, Theo and the whole crew trampled him.

Thus, Sejun and his group played around all morning until lunchtime.

“Aileen, what do you want to eat?”

While preparing lunch with Sejun No.12, Sejun asked Aileen what she wanted.

And then—

-Brother-in-law, I want dinosaur chicken nuggets!

The statue fragment of Ace quickly flew over and shouted what he wanted to eat.

“Of course I was already making dinosaur chicken nuggets, since they’re your favorite, little brother-in-law.”

-Puhihihihi. As expected, Brother-in-law is the best!

Ace was moved by Sejun’s words.

Touching a dragon's heart was this easy.

At that moment—

[The Tower Administrator says she wants to dip fried food into tteokbokki sauce.]

After a moment’s thought, Aileen said her menu choice too.

Krrr.

As expected, my girlfriend.

She knows good food.

“Hold on a sec.”

Sejun quickly cooked up some spicy tteokbokki and made sweet potato fries, vegetable fritters, and squid tempura.

After everyone ate their delicious lunches—

Slurp.

They finished with coffee.

Then Sejun and the group crossed the dimensional gate and arrived at the level 7 world <Crphies>.

And—

“Bat-Bat, time to wake up.”

Sejun gently woke Bat-Bat.

(Baaham.)

Bat-Bat yawned wide with his tiny mouth.

I wanna put my finger in there.

Sejun desperately wanted to stick his finger into Bat-Bat’s little mouth — but he resisted.

If he did, it’d get bitten off.

Bat-Bat shook himself awake and then—

(Bat-Bat. Chairman Sejun, Mr. Morgan who lives over there said he’ll give us a tour!)

He told Sejun about Morgan.

“Really? Then shall we start with a tour first?”

Since stars only appeared at night.

Following Bat-Bat’s guidance, Sejun headed toward Morgan’s house.

A short while later—

“Huh? Stars? There aren’t any stars in Crphies.”

“Eh?!”

No stars?!

Morgan’s reply crushed the honor of the great detective Sherlock Sejun.
