Solo Farming In The Tower-Chapter 674: From Now On, Yuren Is in Charge of Baektang!

375-Dimensional Waters.

“Queng!”

[Black Queng’s Ark is setting sail!]

With Queng at the helm, the ship began its journey toward the Kamo Pirates’ stronghold, Grondra.

“At this speed, we’ll reach our destination in less than ten hours.”

Kamous, still proud of his ship, responded confidently when Sejun asked how long it would take to get there.

But—

“Ten hours? That long?”

Sejun’s reaction was brutally unimpressed.

“Full-time employee Kamous! Why didn’t you invest in the ship, nya?!”

“Queng! Queng!”

[Kamous, you’re bad! The ship’s performance sucks because you didn’t spend money, you know!]

“Nking!”

[Hey! You should’ve brought a better ship!]

Theo, Queng, and Blackie scolded Kamous for skimping on the ship’s upgrades.

You idiots! Do you know how much money I poured into building the Black Maw?!

Enraged by their insults, Kamous fumed but quickly suppressed his anger.

Just wait until we reach the base. You’re all going down with this ship!

He smirked inwardly, already planning his escape.

Meanwhile, the Black Queng’s Ark sailed full speed ahead.

Since there was no need to steer, Queng, bored,

Clang.

opened the subspace storage.

And—

“Queng!”

[Coming out now!]

Thump, thump!

Thump, thump!

Queng summoned the Planet-Breaking Turtles.

Having left them near the fountain before departing, Queng had retrieved them all.

Quhehehehe. Queng!

[Hehehe. You guys guard this place and fire if enemies appear!]

Thump, thump!

“Queng!”

[You, stay there!]

Thump, thump!

Queng stationed the Planet-Breaking Turtles at key positions on the ship, assigning them to operate the cannons and defend the vessel.

While Queng patrolled the deck—

“I’m bored. Should we have a snack?”

Sejun pulled out a brazier from the subspace storage and began roasting corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.

“Puhuhut. Oh, great hybrid Chairman Park, don’t forget grilled fish and roasted peanuts, nya!”

Theo chimed in, requesting food for himself and Iona.

“Of course, I was planning on it.”

“Puhuhut. Really, nya?!”

“Of course.”

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I’m so happy you didn’t forget about Vice Chairman Theo, nya!”

Delighted by Sejun’s response, Theo’s tail twitched with joy.

In the meantime, Sejun skewered the fish and grilled them over an open flame while roasting peanuts in a frying pan.

As the aroma of cooking food spread—

Sniff, sniff.

“Do you smell that?”

“It’s coming from over there.”

Pirates who had been idly lounging turned their attention toward Sejun.

Kikihit. Nking?!

[Hehe! Caretaker! Are you making dried sweet potato strips for the great Blackie?!]

Tap, tap, tap.

Blackie, who had been patrolling the pirates to assert dominance, suddenly dashed toward the source of the roasted sweet potato smell.

And—

Press, press.

Blackie began kneading Sejun’s thigh with its front paws, acting cute.

“Hehehe. Sorry, Blackie. None for you.”

How dare you side with my mom yesterday and steal my dried sweet potato strips?

Sejun hadn’t forgotten Blackie’s betrayal when it teamed up with Kim Miran to raid his snacks.

Nking!

[Caretaker, you’re mean!]

Upset by Sejun’s words, Blackie scurried off to hide somewhere on the ship.

The caretaker will call the great Blackie, right? He will, right? He definitely will!

Blackie anxiously waited for Sejun to call it back.

Five minutes later—

What if the caretaker doesn’t call me? Should I go out now?! But the great Blackie has pride to maintain!

Fidgeting nervously, Blackie’s anxiety spiked.

Just then—

“Park Blackie, come get your snack!”

Hearing Sejun’s call—

Hehe! I knew it! The caretaker needs the great Blackie!

Wearing a smug grin, Blackie strutted out from its hiding spot as if it had won.

But despite its proud demeanor, its feet were racing toward Sejun, its tail spinning like a helicopter blade.

“Puhuhut. As expected, the grilled fish of the great hybrid Chairman Park is the best, nya!”

“Hehehe. Of course.”

“Quet quet quet. The roasted peanuts are amazing too!”

“I’m glad you like them. Those required way more heat than I expected.”

Quhehehe. Queng!

[Hehehe. Dad, try mixing potatoes and corn in one bite—it’s heavenly!]

“Oh? Hey, you’re right! Queng, you’re definitely my genius child.”

While Sejun enjoyed snacks with Theo, Iona, and Queng—

Chomp, chomp, chomp.

Blackie quietly focused on eating.

“Is it good? Say something while you eat.”

Sejun tried to start a conversation with Blackie.

Kikihit. Nking!

[Hehe! Caretaker’s dried sweet potato strips are the best!]

“Hehehe. Of course.”

Even Blackie, still sulking earlier, gave its seal of approval.

And—

Slurp.

Gulp.

Pirates stared, drooling, as they watched Sejun’s group enjoy their snacks.

“Puhuhut. Want some, nya?!”

Theo, having finished his grilled fish, began advertising the remaining corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.

The pirates, who were already employees of Sejun’s company and had emptied their wallets earlier, didn’t have much to offer.

Puhuhut. These guys smell like money, nya!

Theo’s instincts told him the pirates were hiding something valuable.

Then—

“If you want some, pay up, nya!”

“Here!”

“Me too, please!”

The pirates eagerly handed Theo thin, rectangular metal plates, about half the size of a palm.

“Nya? I don’t accept metal! Hand over money or jewels, nya!”

Theo was furious, refusing the items as proper payment.

“What? These aren’t just metal! They’re pirate cards! Don’t you know what cards are?”

“Puhuhut. Of course I do, nya! Wait here for a moment!”

Feigning confidence to preserve his pride as Vice Chairman, Theo ran over to Sejun.

“Chairman Park, these guys gave me something called pirate cards, nya! What are these?!”

Theo handed the card to Sejun and asked,

“A pirate card?”

Sejun inspected it closely.

[<Title: One Who Gazed Upon the Primordial> has identified the card’s nature.]

Sejun’s eyes gleamed gold, revealing the card’s information.

[Pirate Fro’s Debit Card]

Linked to Pirate Fro’s pirate bank account. Funds can be accessed by swiping the card.Balance: 300 Tower CoinsIssuer: Pirate Bank

“Oh, it’s like a debit card. If you swipe it, the money gets withdrawn from the bank account.”

“Puhuhut. As expected of Chairman Park, nya! Then how do we swipe it to withdraw money, nya?!”

“Uh... like this?”

Without a card reader and unable to admit he didn’t know, Sejun simply swiped the card through thin air.

Suddenly—

[How much would you like to charge?]

A message appeared in front of Sejun. Its style was different from [System 371], and it wasn’t from the pirate bank system either.

It was a message from [System SJC].

Unlike [System 371], which was polite and formal, [System SJC] didn’t yet have a personality. However, it always prioritized Sejun and acted to assist him.

To help Sejun, it had hurriedly developed a card payment system, enabling Sejun Company employees to process payments without card terminals.

At one point, the pirate bank demanded transaction fees for connecting accounts, but [System SJC], having learned from Sejun and Theo, forcibly merged the pirate bank’s system. This solved the fee issue entirely.

Thanks to this, Sejun could now make payments simply by swiping the card in midair.

“Ten Tower Coins.”

Sejun stated the amount, and—

Clink.

Money transferred from the pirate bank account dropped into Sejun’s hand.

“Hehehe. See? That’s how you use it.”

Sejun smirked and showed off to Theo.

“Puhuhut. Truly, Chairman Park is a genius hybrid, nya! But, Chairman Park, your face looks a bit smug, nya!”

Theo teased Sejun, but Sejun only grinned wider.

Meanwhile—

Quhehehe. Queng!

[Hehehe. Queng wants to play too!]

Kikihit. Nking!

[Hehe! The great Blackie wants to stomp on the caretaker’s face too!]

Queng and Blackie pounced on Sejun, eagerly kneading his face with their paws.

A few moments later—

“Puhuhut. Hand over your cards if you want to eat, nya!”

Having mastered the card system, Theo set up a makeshift store on the deck, selling food to the pirates.

*****

On the way down to the 50th floor of the Black Tower.

Piyot! Piyot!

[Redfin, this way! Don’t wander off!]

Chirp chirp!

[Okay!]

Piyot! Piyot! Piyot...?

[Blackfin, speed up! Bluedrake, stop drinking water! And Baektang...where did Baektang go?]

While checking the group, Piyot suddenly realized that Baektang had vanished.

“Uhuhuhu. Where’d he go?”

“Muhuhuhu. I don’t know.”

Piyot!

[Not knowing isn’t an answer! Go find him, now!]

“Okay.”

“On it!”

At Piyot’s command, Yuren and Poyo quickly set off to search for Baektang.

Meanwhile, Bluedrake, Blackfin, and Redfin stayed put, nervously watching Piyot for further instructions.

The reason Piyot was leading this group was that Sejun had entrusted it with taking the rookies on a Tower Tour.

The goal was to train them by showing them the tower’s floors while doubling as a Survival Camp under Yuren’s string of misfortunes—sharpening their instincts for survival.

As a result, the youngest member, Piyot—still not even a year old—was left in charge of six seniors.

Pfft. Sejun promised to throw me a first-birthday party soon!

Fueled by that promise, Piyot didn’t find the job too hard.

A short while later—

“Hehehe. Piyot, we found Baektang.”

Kkaooo...

[Sorry, I got distracted for a moment...]

Yuren and Poyo dragged Baektang back.

And then—

Piyot! Piyot!

[Good job! From now on, Yuren, you’re in charge of Baektang!]

“Uhuhuhu. Leave it to me!”

Piyot officially assigned Baektang’s supervision to Yuren.

It was both a punishment for Baektang wandering off and—

I’ll make sure Baektang never targets Sejun’s lap again!

As Theo’s Right Front Paw, Piyot was determined to keep Baektang from coveting Theo’s sacred spot—Sejun’s lap.

Kkaooo?! Kkaooo?!

[What the heck?! Why are rocks suddenly falling?!]

And so began Baektang’s string of misfortunes under Yuren’s watch.

*****

171-Dimensional Waters.

“Puhuhut. If you want more food, hand over your cards, nya!”

Theo was enthusiastically running his shop on the deck of the Black Queng’s Ark.

Meanwhile—

“Queng!”

[Dad, Queng wants a card too!]

Queng’s eyes sparkled as it watched the pirates pull out their cards.

Swipe it, and you can buy all the food you want!

To Queng, who had no concept of bank accounts or linked balances, debit cards seemed like magical tools for unlimited snacks.

“Hehehe. I’ll make you one later.”

Sejun promised to create a Black Card for Queng using Kaiser’s dragon scales once they learned the card issuance process in Grondra.

Then he resumed grilling corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.

Nking! Nking!

[Hey, caretaker! Stop selling the sweet potatoes! You need to make dried sweet potato strips!]

Blackie threw a tantrum, trying to stop Sejun from selling the precious sweet potatoes.

“Here, eat this and hush.”

Sejun handed Blackie one dried sweet potato strip, and—

Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.

Distracted by eating, Blackie stopped protesting.

As Sejun and his group relaxed and enjoyed snacks on deck, the Black Queng’s Ark approached Grondra.

Vwoom.

Suddenly, the space ahead opened up, revealing the Kamo Pirates’ stronghold—a Level 7 World, Grondra.

A dimensional interference device installed at the stern of the ship had opened a path to Grondra.

The moment Sejun’s ship entered—

“Fire!”

The Kamo Pirates, lying in wait, launched a full-scale attack with all their ships.

Krrrhh. Well, goodbye.

Swish.

With a sinister smile, Kamous abandoned his subordinates, teleporting to his fortress via a waypoint.

It was a solid strategy—if not for the Planet-Breaking Turtles stationed on the Black Queng’s Ark.

Thump! Thump!

[Protect the ship! Attack!]

Bzzzzzt.

Following Queng’s orders, the turtles fired devastating energy beams.

Kaboom!

The pirates watched in horror as the red beams instantly obliterated their attacks, forcing them to surrender and raise white flags.

“Puhuhut. Line up for your stamps, nya!”

With the pirates quickly yielding, Theo began stamping their hands, and Sejun’s group entered Grondra without spilling a single drop of blood.
