Solo Farming In The Tower

: Podori, You Win.

TL: Hanguk

Seed Shop Headquarters.

“Brothers and sisters, look at this! This is the transcendence grade seed I’m going to sell to Park Sejun this time!”

Po, the God of Jelly, who had pink ponytail, proudly displayed the secret seed she had prepared.

A single transcendence grade seed, slightly transparent and wobbling like jelly, small, cute, and insignificant resembling its white in color owner.

However, the non-combat gods didn’t hear Po’s words.

“Hah! It’s no match for my Moon Sprout Seed!”

“How can something that can’t even produce its own light compare! My Sun Green Seed is the best!”

“What nonsense! My Star Sprout Seed beats them all!”

The Gods of Moonlight, Starlight, and Sunlight were watching each other, arguing over whose prepared transcendence grade seed was superior.

Transcendence grade seeds were the most expensive seeds that the non-combat gods affiliated with the Seed Shop Headquarters could sell. Though difficult to grow,

if successfully cultivated, one could harvest fruits with immense power, so the non-combat gods took great pride in their transcendence grade seeds.

Of course, the fact that the god who sold the seed would also receive a massive amount of divine power as a reward when the fruit was harvested played a part as well.

At that moment,

“Hohoho. I apologize in advance. This time, the seed that Park Sejun will buy will be my Dragon Fruit Seed.”

A black-haired beauty who joined the seed battle with a confident voice while stroking her hair.

It was Myrna, the God of Dragons, who was always ignored by dragons.

From the dragons’ perspective, since they were already at god-level, they did not revere Myrna as a god.

These damn dragons! I’ll sell this Dragon Fruit Seed and obtain a temple from Park Sejun!

Thanks to them, although she was a god, she didn’t have a single temple.

“Well, except for the three executives of the Seed Shop Headquarters, God Myrna’s Dragon Fruit is the best.”

“I don’t think so. Even against the other executives’ seeds, the Dragon Fruit Seed doesn’t fall short.”

“That’s true.”

“No! My seed is the best!”

Po shouted enthusiastically that her seed was the best, but her short stature and small voice were drowned out by the other gods’ cries.

Then,

“It appeared!”

A spherical seed altar appeared at the center of the Seed Shop Headquarters.

Seeds were placed inside that altar, and through a draw, the seed to be sold in the Seed Shop would be selected.

As all the non-combat gods placed their secret transcendence grade seeds one by one into the altar,

Rumble.

The altar began to spin rapidly. Once the Seed Shop opened, the drawing would begin.

“Trust-in-Park!!”

“Trust-in-Park!!”

The non-combat gods, watching the spinning altar, prayed with one mind and one heart that their transcendence grade seed would be selected and sold to Sejun.

At the Combat Shop Headquarters.

“Park Sejun, show me your courage. You can do it! Just one more time, and the Heart of Courage will be yours. What’s the worst that could happen? You’d just die?”

Bev, the God of Courage, was trying to persuade Sejun with words that were not convincing at all.

[Park Sejun, the Black Tower’s Tower Farmer, has blocked conversations for 3 days.]

Of course, the result was naturally being blocked.

“No. Why won’t you do it when you’re so good at it?”

Bev muttered as if he couldn’t understand.

Then,

“Trust-in-Park!!”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Trust-in-Park!!”

The shouts of the non-combat gods came through the wall.

Normally, he would have just ignored it, but

“What the hell?! Can’t you be quiet!!!”

He was already angry because Sejun blocked him!

Bev, frustrated by Sejun’s block, took out his anger on the non-combat gods.

Then,

“Trust-in-Park···”

“Trust-in-Park···”

The voices of the non-combat gods grew quieter.

What the heck is this ‘Trust-in-Park’ thing?

“Sejun, just do it one more time.”

Bev, curious about what ‘Trust-in-Park’ was, kept talking in the hopes that Sejun might unblock him.

***

Black Tower, 99th floor.

“Blocked.”

Sejun, annoyed by Bev since the morning, blocked him.

[You’re a Field Lv. 5 has been activated.]

[You have planted the Destruction Devourer Seed in the body of Alice, the Mesmerizing Spider and 9th seat of the Apostles of Destruction.]

···

..

.

As usual, after having breakfast, Sejun planted the Destruction Devourer seeds.

About an hour later…

[Your proficiency of You’re a Field Lv. 5 has been filled, and the level has increased.]

Two days ago, the level of the You’re a Field skill had increased to 5, and now the proficiency filled up again, raising the level once more.

“Hehe. The levels are going up quickly.”

Let’s see if anything has changed.

Sejun checked the skill.

[You’re a Field Lv. 6]

– You can plant crops on living enemies. (However, you cannot plant on enemies whose skin you cannot penetrate.)

– When you use Seed Sowing on an enemy, the planted seed will take root in the enemy’s body, absorbing life force and rapidly growing. (Some seeds will trigger special effects.)

– If you use Harvesting to harvest the crops grown on an enemy’s body, you can inflict additional damage. (There is a low probability that Stat Harvesting, which randomly harvests the target’s stats, will activate.)

– When planting crops, an adhesive force will form on your feet, making it difficult for your feet to detach from the enemy’s body.

The activation probability of Stat Harvesting changed from “rare” to “low”.

“Adhesive force? It says my feet won’t detach easily from the enemy’s body?”

A new effect was added, making it harder for Sejun’s feet to come off the enemy’s body.

When Sejun moved his feet…

Squelch. Squelch.

A sticky sound came from his feet.

Thanks to this, Sejun could now easily plant crops even in positions that were difficult to plant before.

“Oh! This is good!”

Sejun could even plant crops while hanging upside down.

This might seem like a trivial ability to others, but for Sejun, it was incredibly useful.

“Guys, look at this! Now I can hang upside down like Paespaes!”

Kking!

[Hey! I’m falling!]

“Huh?!”

Kkiruk?!

Of course, since Blackie, who was in the sling bag, didn’t have any adhesive force and he fell to the ground.

But…

Thud.

Sejun caught him safely.

[You’re a Field Lv. 6 has been activated.]

…

..

.

Sejun planted crops on Alice’s belly while standing upside down.

However…

Kiki!

Kiki!

The Destruction Devourers, born upside down, couldn’t move their roots, fearing they would fall.

“Okay, relax your roots. You’ll get hurt if you strain. Here we go! One! Two! Three!”

Schluk.

Sejun carefully pulled out a Destruction Devourer and placed it on the ground.

“Phew. Even pulling them out is hard work.”

After Sejun had lowered almost 10,000 Destruction Devourers…

[The Seed Shop is open.]

The 12th Seed Shop opened.

“Hehehe. It’s finally open.”

Sejun looked at the shop window with eyes full of expectation.

[Park Sejun-nim’s rank is Transcendent.]

[Seven types of seeds, including transcendence grade seeds, will be shown randomly for today’s sale.]

[At your current rank, you can purchase as many seeds as you want within a 500 Tower Coins limit.]

[Dragon Fruit Seed (Transcendence) – 300 Tower Coins + 500 Pieces of World’s Energy]

[All-Devouring Jelly Seed (Transcendence) – 100 Tower Coins + 100 Pieces of World’s Energy]

[10 Sugarcane Seeds – 55 Tower Coins]

[10 Pine Tree Seeds – 45 Tower Coins]

…

..

.

“Oh. It says I could buy transcendence grade seeds from this time onwards…”

Sejun first examined the two transcendence grade seeds at the top.

Dragon Fruit Seed?

It must be same as the dragon fruit on Earth, right?

All-Devouring Jelly Seed?

No matter how much it devours, how much can jelly actually swallow? Jelly is just jelly.

“But transcendence grade seeds also require World’s Energy?”

World’s Energy means…

Shrrr.

Sejun pulled out about 1,000 coins that Theo had collected from defeating fragments of the Apostle of Destruction.

“This should be enough, right?”

Since he was curious about the transcendence grade seeds, he bought them all.

Sejun continued to examine the remaining seeds, but the only ones that really caught his attention were the Sugarcane and Pine Tree seeds.

“I’ll buy these four then.”

When Sejun made the purchase:

[You have paid a total of 500 Tower Coins and 600 Pieces of World’s Energy to purchase Dragon Fruit, All-Devouring Jelly, Sugarcane, and Pine Tree seeds.]

[500 Tower Coins have been deducted from Park Sejun’s account in the Seed Bank.]

[5,000 points have been earned in Seed Shop mileage.]

[A total of 5,101 points have been accumulated in Seed Shop mileage.]

[600 Pieces of World’s Energy have been deducted.]

[600 Seed Shop coupons have been issued.]

[Currently, there is only one item available for exchange.]

[Automatically, 600 Seed Shop coupons have been exchanged for 6 Seed Shop Random Period Reduction Tickets.]

[Thank you for using the Seed Shop.]

[You can use Seed Shop Lv. 4 again in 30 days.]

Along with the message, four leather pouches and six coupons appeared in Sejun’s hands.

“First, let’s plant the seeds…”

As Sejun turned the pouch containing the dragon fruit seed upside down and shook it,

Thud.

A seed the size of a golf ball dropped into Sejun’s palm.

“Wow, it’s really big.”

[Dragon Fruit Seed]

→ ???

→ You need to harvest it to check its options.

“I need to harvest it to find out the options?”

How unfriendly.

Puk.

Grumbling, Sejun planted the Dragon Fruit seed right away.

[You’re a Field Lv. 6 has been activated.]

…

..

.

Sejun, the type to grumble but still do what needs to be done, planted the seed.

But…

…

The seed remained silent. Perhaps because it was transcendence grade, it didn’t react like the other seeds.

Next, Sejun picked up the leather pouch containing the Jelly Seed.

Shake, shake.

He shook it, but…

“Huh?”

No seed came out.

“What?”

It wasn’t until Sejun reached into the pouch and moved his hand around that he was able to pull out a small, soft, white seed that felt like jelly.

[All-Devouring Jelly Seed]

→ ???

→ You need to harvest it to check its options.

“This one’s also a question mark, huh.”

It seemed that all transcendence grade seeds were like this.

Puk.

After planting the All-Devouring Jelly seed, Sejun went on to plant the Sugarcane and Pine Tree seeds.

Sssrk.

Unlike the transcendence grade seeds, the Sugarcane and Pine Tree seeds quickly started growing right after being planted.

While the crops were growing, Sejun checked the paper he received from the Seed Shop.

[Seed Shop Random Period Reduction Ticket].

→ Tear it to use automatically.

→ You can randomly shorten the time until the next Seed Shop opens by 1-10 days.

→ Price: 100 Seed Shop Coupons

→ Issued by: Seed Shop Headquarters

→ Usage Restriction: Seed Shop Members

→ Grade: Transcendence

Sejun reviewed the paper he received from the Seed Shop.

You can randomly reduce the waiting period for the Seed Shop to open by 1 to 10 days?!

“Oh?! Then, if I’m lucky, I could open the Seed Shop again right away?”

Tear.

After reading the explanation, Sejun immediately tore one of the Seed Shop Random Period Reduction Tickets.

Then,

[You have used the Seed Shop Random Period Reduction Ticket.]

[The time until the next Seed Shop opens has been reduced by 1 day.]

[The next Seed Shop will open in 29 days.]

The message appeared.

“Oh! So this is how it works.”

Then let’s go for a 10-day reduction right away!

Tear.

[The time until the next Seed Shop opens has been reduced by 1 day.]

Tear.

[The time until the next Seed Shop opens has been reduced by 1 day.]

“Argh! It’s too early to give up! I still have three more tickets left! If I get 10 days three times in a row, it’s possible!”

Everyone has a plan—until they get unlucky.

Tear.

Tear.

Tear.

…

[The next Seed Shop will open in 24 days.]

Ah. It’s tearing. My heart.

In the end, Sejun tore up all six Seed Shop Random Period Reduction Tickets, shortening the wait by only six days.

“What is this? Last time, my luck with draws wasn’t bad. I even drew a Divine Relic…”

Was it thanks to Theo’s buff back then?

“Next time, I’ll have to put Theo on my lap while I do it.”

Greed was always close, and reason was always far away.

Thus, Sejun learned the lesson that when luck was needed, he should use the Theo buff.

While waiting for the still-growing Pine Tree to mature,

Shhk.

[You have harvested Sugarcane.]

[You’re a Field Lv. 6 has been activated, dealing additional damage.]

…

..

.

Sejun harvested the Sugarcane.

Then,

Crack.

Feeling a bit peckish, he broke off a piece of the harvested Sugarcane, put it in his mouth, and chewed.

“Hehe. It’s sweet. Really sweet.”

After a few chews, the sweet juice filled his mouth.

“But I guess I’ll have to ask Cuengi to squeeze the Sugarcane juice?”

He’d squeeze it very thoroughly.

However, the amount was too much for one person…

Even though it hadn’t been an hour since he started working, the harvested Sugarcane had already piled up to a height of about 10 meters, as it grew within almost a minute after being planted.

Considering the amount of Sugarcane he planned to plant with the harvested seeds, it would be too much for even Cuengi.

“Then, Pink-fur too…”

Just as Sejun was about to enlist Pink-fur to help with the Sugarcane juice squeezing,

[Found you! Why did you do that to me?!]

“Can you listen to me for a sec…”

He saw Podori wrapping its roots tightly around the neck of the King of Farming, shaking him vigorously.

“Hehehe. Found it.”

Indeed, the darkest place is under the lamp.

“Podori, you win.”

Sejun decided to assign the role of squeezing the Sugarcane juice to Podori.
