Solo Farming In The Tower

Green Tower, 99th Floor.
Ophelia, after meeting Brachio, returned.
"Hmm hmm hmm."
Humming to herself, she looked at the Elixir: Cherry Tomato Imbued with Powerful Magic Power held in her hand.
"Aileen, what was she thinking giving these seeds to Grandma?"
Ophelia muttered incomprehensibly while examining the options of the cherry tomatoes.
If you have such good crops, you should grow them yourself. Why give them away to others?
And then,
"Hohihi. Aileen, thank you. The great Tower Farmer, Ophelia lorg, will grow these well and eat them."
Swoosh.
She laughed as she threw all the cherry tomatoes on the ground and said,
"Grow!"
She channeled magic power into the ground and used a skill.
Then,
Crack.
The cherry tomato seeds rapidly took root in the ground.
At that moment,
[You have planted the crops of Park Sejun, the Tower Farmer of the Black Tower, who has exclusive cultivation rights, without permission.]
[According to the tower's laws, Ophelia lorg of the Green Tower will now be a slave of Park Sejun, the tower's farmer from the Black Tower, for the next 100 years.]
A message appeared.
"What?! The great Green Dragon, me, a slave?!"
Ophelia became enraged upon seeing the message. Who dares to enslave me?!
But there was more to come.
[You have unlawfully planted 30,000 seeds of Park Sejun's exclusive crops without permission.]
[The nature of your crime is very severe.]
[Your slavery period is extended by an additional 200 years.]
"Wahhh! Grandma!!!"
Shocked by the message, Ophelia went to find Brachio while crying.
***
Sejun was relieved that he didn't summon Ophelia and survived,
Plop.
Kking!
'Hey! Give me something to eat!'
Fenrir demanded a snack as he sat in front of Sejun.
"Hehehe. Blackie, you just survived thanks to me."
Sejun said arrogantly to Fenrir, it wasn't because he was about to die that he
didn't summon Ophelia, but all for Blackie!
Sejun tried to claim a mental victory like that.
Kking?! Kking!
'What are you saying?! Just give me the food!'
Fenrir ignored Sejun's words and barked for food immediately.
Then,
[Ophelia lorg, the Tower Farmer of the Green Tower...]
[The nature of the crime is very severe.]
[Slavery period is extended by an additional 200 years.]
A new message appeared in front of Sejun.
"Hehehe. Should've planted them in moderation."
Oh, so there was something like this too. What a pity. I should've given her more... Sejun thought with a sly grin.
"Here, Blackie, eat a lot."
Sejun, in a good mood, pulled out two dried sweet potato slices from his pocket
and gave them to Fenrir.
Kking!
'Two yellow and chewy ones!'
Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.
"Our Blackie, you eat so well."
Sejun said while watching Fenrir, who pressed one dried sweet potato slice
under his belly so no one could take it away,
and held the other with his two front paws, eating it diligently. So cute.
Just as Sejun was about to designate the remaining rabbits as tenant farmers
with a satisfied expression while watching Fenrir,
'What's this?'
Sejun felt a burning gaze directed at him.
Ppiyek!
Ppip!
The rabbits lined up in two rows were drooling while looking at Sejun. We want to
eat too!
"Vice Chairman Theo, help me out."
"Puhuhut. Okay, meow!"
At Sejun's call, Theo hurriedly packed his lunchbox in his bundle and ran over.
And then,
[You have designated the 10441st tenant farmer.]
[You have designated the 10442nd tenant farmer.]
As Sejun continued designating tenant farmers,
"Puhuhut. Here it is, meow!"
Theo, sitting on Sejun's lap, handed out dried sweet potato slices to each of the
rabbits that had become tenant farmers.
Shortly after.
[You have designated the 15112th tenant farmer.]
"Done!"
Sejun finished designating tenant farmers for the rabbits brought by Black Rabbit.
"Puhuhut. No rush, meow! There's still plenty of dried sweet potato slices left,
meow!"
However, Theo's task of distributing the dried sweet potatoes was not yet
finished.
This was because there were still rabbits who had become tenant farmers but
had not received their sweet potatoes and were lined up.
Kking?! Kking!
'If I line up here, can I eat the yellow and chewy things?! I want to eat too!'
Fenrir tried to line up behind the rabbits to receive dried sweet potato slices, but
Ppip! Ppip!
He was pushed out of line by the hips of the other rabbits in line.
Kking!
'That's my spot!'
Fenrir tried to push his head back among the rabbits, but he couldn't push them
away with his strength.
Kking...
'I can't believe I'm losing to these guys...'
Pushed away by the rabbits, Fenrir felt his pride hurt and dejectedly went back to
Sejun.
Kking!
'Punish them!'
"Hey. How can you feel wronged when you were the one being greedy? Come
here."
Sejun picked up the whining Fenrir and put him in his pocket, along with the core
fragment that Fenrir likes.
Kking! Kking!
'My core! I'm going to eat it this time!'
While Fenrir was busily wrestling with the core fragment in Sejun's pocket,
[You can remotely issue a simple command once a day to Ophelia lorg, the tower
farmer of the distant Green Tower.]
"Should I make our slave work?"
Since she can't be summoned, Sejun thought to command her remotely, just like
he did with Ajax.
[Currently available tasks you can assign to Ophelia lorg, the tower farmer of the
Green Tower]
- Harvest and offer Elixir: Cherry Tomato Imbued with Powerful and Mighty Magic
Power (0/205 pieces)
"Powerful and Mighty?"
The name of the cherry tomatoes had changed. What changed? I wonder.
Although the number of cherry tomatoes needed to be harvested was too small,
he thought they would continue to grow over time.
"Hehehe. Slave, get to work."
Eager to receive the cherry tomatoes, Sejun quickly issued the task to Ophelia.
But
[Ophelia lorg of the Green Tower refuses the command.]
It seemed typical for dragons not to follow orders immediately.
[You can punish Ophelia lorg of the Green Tower, who refused the command.]
- Water Baptism
- Fire Baptism
- Stone Baptism
- Tickling
"Which punishment should I choose? Since water, fire, and stone won't have
much impact, should I pick tickling like I did with Ajax?"
Sejun pondered which punishment to inflict on Ophelia.
Just then,
"Sejun hyung, Sister Ophelia really hates heat!"
Ajax, who was harvesting potatoes nearby, flew over and gave some useful
information.
"Really? She hates heat?"
Then let's go with the Fire Baptism! Sejun decided to punish Ophelia with a fire
baptism. [Ophelia lorg of the Green Tower is given a Fire Baptism for refusing the
command.]
A moment later,
[Ophelia lorg of the Green Tower has harvested 1 Elixir: Cherry Tomato Imbued
with Powerful and Mighty Magic Power.]
Following Ajax's advice, as soon as the fire baptism was applied to the heat-
hating Ophelia, she started working,
[Ophelia lorg of the Green Tower offers 1 Elixir: Cherry Tomato Imbued with Powerful and Mighty Magic Power to Park Sejun of the Black Tower.]
[1 Elixir: Cherry Tomato Imbued with Powerful and Mighty Magic Power is stored
in the temporary storage of the Green Tower.]
The harvested crop was offered to Sejun.
[To transport less than 100kg of crops from the Green Tower to the Black Tower,
8 million Tower Coins are needed for transport costs.]
[Would you like to proceed?]
The following message appeared.
"Huh? 8 million Tower Coins?"
Not one million? Sejun double-checked the amount to make sure he hadn't read
it wrong.
But it was indeed 8 million Tower Coins.
"Why is the transport cost so expensive?"
"Hyung, maybe it's because the Green Tower is far away."
"Far away?"
Ajax cleared up Sejun's confusion.
"Yes! The Green Tower is almost on the opposite side of the Black Tower,
clockwise..."
According to Ajax's explanation, the towers are arranged clockwise from the Black Tower as follows: Red Tower, Golden Tower, Purple Tower, Green Tower,
Blue Tower, Brown Tower, Silver Tower, and White Tower.
"So that's how it is."
Thus, Sejun learned about the layout of the nine towers.
In the meantime,
[Ophelia lorg, the tower farmer of the Green Tower, has completed the
command.]
[205 Elixir: Cherry Tomatoes Imbued with Powerful and Mighty Magic Power are
stored in the temporary storage of the Green Tower.]
Ophelia had finished harvesting. "That was quick?"
Compared to Ajax's working speed, it was incredibly fast.
"Transport."
Sejun, curious about the Elixir: Cherry Tomatoes Imbued with Powerful and
Mighty Magic Power, spent 8 million Tower Coins to transport the 205 cherry
tomatoes from the temporary storage.
He grumbled about the cost, but it wasn't a significant amount for Sejun.
Fwoosh.
[205 Elixir: Cherry Tomatoes Imbued with Powerful and Mighty Magic Power
have arrived.]
Thus, 205 elixir-grade cherry tomatoes were placed in front of Sejun.
"What? Why do they look like this?"
Sejun picked up a cherry tomato and frowned at its mushy texture as he checked
its options.
[Elixir: Cherry Tomato Imbued with Powerful and Mighty Magic Power]

Sejun recalled the tasteless carrots
om
he had received as a prize at the carrot harvesting contest during the past harvest festival. It turned out that the grower's name was Ophelia
at that time. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest

Sejun tasted the cherry tomato to see how flavorless it was.
"It's really bland. Who would eat this?"
Sejun pondered as he looked at the mushy white cherry tomatoes in front of him.

Although the cherry tomatoes that
ΟΠ
Sejun usually enjoyed could increase magic power by 50, these fasteless ones were unlikely to be popular
since all the animals had already tasted Sejun's cherry tomatoes. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!
At that moment,
"Ah! That could work..."
Sejun remembered the pickled cherry tomatoes he had tried at a restaurant
before.
He started by making a cross-shaped cut at the ends of the cherry tomatoes and
began to boil them.
After boiling, he peeled the separated skins and soaked the cherry tomatoes in
honey water.
[You have achieved the feat of making the first cherry tomato honey pickles in the
tower.]
[The recipe for cherry tomato honey pickles has been registered under Cooking
Lv. 9.]
[Your proficiency of Cooking Lv. 9 has increased slightly.]
Thus, the dish was completed. Thanks to the preparation, the effectiveness of the
ingredients increased by 5%.
"I need to let it ferment for a day..."
Sejun placed the bowl containing the cherry tomato honey pickles in the kitchen
and got up when,
"Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I've done everything you asked, meow!"
Smack.
Theo clung to Sejun's leg as he spoke.
"What about Black Rabbit?"
"He said he was busy and went down with the rabbits right away, meow!"
"Is that so?"
"Right, meow! Black Rabbit said to give these to Chairman Park, meow!"

Theo handed Sejun three land deeds
Here!
received from Black Rabbit They were for the 73rd, 62nd, and 57th floors of the Black Tower. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read
the latest chapter there!
'Ah, I should go too.'
Thus, Sejun lost the pretext to send Theo alone to find Fenrir's core fragment
and,
"Guys, gather around!"
called Cuengi and Ajax along with Theo and Blackie, and put into the void
storage,
Clank.
and closed the door.
"Aileen, I'll be back."
[The tower's administrator wishes you a safe journey.]
"Okay."
[The summoning function for the initial engraving of the land deed for the 57th
floor farm has been activated.]
Sejun greeted Aileen and vanished from the 99th floor of the Black Tower with
the land deed.
While Sejun was headed to the 57th floor,
"Park Sejun, you dare touch my granddaughter...!"
An enraged Brachio was fiercely flying towards the Black Tower.
***
Black Tower, 57th Floor.
[You have arrived at the 57th floor of the Black Tower.]
[Due to the effect of the Title: Retrogressor, all stats increase by 42.]
"Uh... my stats have increased, but why do I feel so chilly?"
Upon reaching the 57th floor, Sejun started to feel the effects of getting closer to
Brachio.
[You are getting closer to a great being who is truly enraged at you.]
[The intensity of the anger directed at you is steadily increasing.]
It was not just a feeling, but a reality.
"This seems to be going a bit too far..."
Thud.
Exposed to Brachio's fury, Sejun fainted. Today, Sejun, the sunfish of the Black Tower, has fainted again.
"Chairman Park!"
Kueng!
[Dad has fainted!]
"Hyung! I'll heal you!"
Theo, Cuengi, and Ajax hurriedly opened the void storage and came out to heal
Sejun.
