Solo Farming In The Tower-Chapter 714: Butler! I Did It!
Inside Kkamang’s mental world.
“Oh. You’ve grown again, huh?”
Mini Chairman Park No. 4 proudly puffed up his tiny shoulders at Sejun’s words, his expression brimming with self-satisfaction.
No, wait.
Now that he’d grown to the length of a forearm, calling him “Mini” rather than “Super Mini” was more appropriate.
Mini Chairman Park No. 4, who had received Sejun’s recognition, happily pressed his head against Sejun.
“There you go.”
Pat. Pat.
Sejun gently stroked Mini Chairman Park No. 4’s head.
The little guy with Sejun’s own face.
For a moment, Sejun felt as if he were really raising a child.
Well, he was already raising one.
“Hehehe.”
Sejun chuckled as he remembered Queng, who had raised both fists triumphantly in his sleep after beating Yuren before drifting off to sleep with a satisfied grin.
The way Queng smiled looked just like Sejun’s own smile.
Plus, he loved Sejun’s mom’s kimchi stew...
As Sejun found more and more similarities between himself and Queng, he continued patting Mini Chairman Park No. 4’s head.
“Guys, eat this and please forgive our kids.”
“Puhuhut. Eat these fish and churu and forgive us-nya!”
“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. Please accept one of these two flavors of peanuts and forgive Young Master Kkamang.”
“I’m really sorry.”
“We apologize.”
Sejun and his companions bowed their heads to the spirits in apology.
A moment later—
Grrrrrrr.
As expected, Corruption appeared.
“Oh. You’re here? Hi!”
“Hmph.”
Corruption received Sejun’s greeting curtly.
But despite himself, there was a hint of joy in his eyes.
After exchanging greetings with Corruption, Sejun said, “But hey, today you didn’t send any Ogres or Planet-Destroying Turtles. Hehe. Did you really hold them back just because I told you not to?”
Sejun teased him with a sly voice.
“Th-that’s nonsense! It’s not because you told me not to! I just... I just didn’t feel like sending them!”
Corruption retorted defensively, raising his voice.
“Okay, okay. If you say so. No need to get so worked up.”
“I-I’m not angry or anything...”
Hastily, Corruption lowered his voice.
He didn’t want Sejun to hate him.
“But hey, I went to the Land of Destruction today. Did you not see me?”
When Sejun mentioned that he had been to the Land of Destruction—
“Ahem. I didn’t see you.”
Corruption avoided Sejun’s gaze.
“Oh, really? Then, where are you, Corruption?”
“W-what?! Why do you want to know?!”
Corruption’s expression stiffened.
If Sejun came to where he was, it would be dangerous.
No, it would be fatal.
“Come on, just tell me. I’ll come visit you later.”
The fragile Sejun kept pressing for his location.
“No! Absolutely not! Let’s end it here today! If you come, you’ll die!”
Corruption hurriedly declared their meeting over.
If Sejun kept asking, Corruption feared he might eventually slip up.
“Fine.”
What a coward.
I’ll find you no matter what.
Since Corruption was gathering power and causing trouble in the surroundings, Sejun, along with Theo, blasted him with the Seojun Beam.
After dealing with Corruption, Sejun and his companions bowed in apology once more.
[You have completely cleansed the from all Corruption, completing the .]
[You have completed the quest.]
[As a reward for completing the quest, all your stats have increased by 8.]
...
..
[As a reward for completing the quest, the stay cost for the 0th floor has decreased by 0.00011%.]
Sejun received the quest rewards as dawn broke.
The stay cost reduction so far was 78.30201%.
It felt like he was so close to reaching 100%, but reducing the remaining 22% was proving to be incredibly difficult.
“Should I just ask Corruption to erase it?”
If Sejun requested Corruption to remove the lingering Corruption in the , he could easily finish the quest and reduce the stay cost quickly.
But no.
He couldn’t do that.
This was about making the Kkamang family atone for their sins.
If he focused solely on the quest rewards, the Kkamang family’s penance would lose its significance.
Slap!
“Park Sejun, get a grip!”
Sejun slapped both cheeks with his palms.
“Nyan...”
“Kkeeng...”
Pulling himself together, Sejun gathered his companions and got up.
Clank.
He opened the subspace warehouse and began his morning by hunting the Catastrophe creatures.
Three hours later—
After finishing his work in the 10th Tower, Sejun arrived at the Kkamyeol Grand Star.
“Pioneers. Assemble.”
“Kya-kya!”
The Catastrophe Pioneers gathered at Sejun’s call.
“All right. Spit out the seeds.”
Sejun held out his palm.
“Tweh-tweh.”
The Catastrophe Pioneers spat out two seeds each into Sejun’s hand.
It took planting a million Catastrophe Eater Seeds to produce just two seeds, so the quantity wasn’t much.
“Good job, everyone.”
Sejun praised the Pioneers, patting their heads, then took the 1,000 or so seeds he’d gathered and planted them in the ground.
From today onward, Sejun planned to focus solely on planting Catastrophe Eater Seeds.
After harvesting one hundred million Catastrophe Pioneers, he could use the Seed Creation skill to generate more Catastrophe Eater Seeds.
Once the Catastrophe Eater Seeds sprouted in the Land of Destruction, even without Sejun, the Pioneers could plant seeds 24/7.
That way, he could quickly increase the number of Catastrophe Eaters and cleanse the Land of Destruction of its Corruption energy.
“Hehe. I’m basically saving the world.”
Sejun, the protector of peace.
“Hehehe.”
Sejun grinned, imagining himself as the savior of the world.
“Nya!”
But Theo quickly placed his front paw over Sejun’s face, stopping him from getting too full of himself.
“Get your paw off me.”
Sejun grumbled through a squashed face.
“Kihiht! Kkeeng! Kkeeng!”
[Hehe. Butler, your face looks rotten! Let’s stomp on it!]
Kkamang, still unable to read the room, jumped onto Sejun’s face and stomped vigorously.
Having just woken up, Kkamang was in a great mood.
But—
“Kkeeng...”
[Butler, let’s talk this out...]
For his overly good mood, Kkamang had to pay the price by being lifted up by his cheeks and left dangling.
After planting the Catastrophe Eater Seeds, Sejun returned to the Black Tower with his companions.
Boom.
Sejun activated a portal scroll and opened a portal to the Temple of the Creator God.
And—
“Let’s go.”
Sejun looked at Emilla and Amur, who had returned six hours ago and were resting.
“You’re... going again?”
“You’re going again?!”
Emilla and Amur exclaimed in shock at Sejun’s words.
Emilla and Amur were accustomed to nearly dying each time they ventured into the Land of Destruction. Thus, after a single trip, they would typically take a week off to recover.
But—
“Yes. We’re going again,” Sejun said without hesitation.
Sejun was different. Rather than pushing himself to the limit, he preferred to do things moderately but consistently every day.
“Understood.”
“Got it...”
Since they couldn’t let Sejun, the Apostle of the Creator God, go alone, Emilla and Amur hurriedly gathered their equipment and joined Sejun and his group, heading back to the Land of Destruction.
“As soon as we arrive, we’ll scout the area,” Emilla said.
“Be safe,” Sejun replied.
Upon reaching the waypoint, Emilla and Amur immediately began scanning the surroundings for potential dangers.
Meanwhile—
“Seed Creation.”
Sejun created one hundred Catastrophe Eater Seeds and began planting them.
In the meantime—
“Aang!”
Thump!
“Kiki!”
Kkamang was wrestling and biting the one hundred Catastrophe Eaters that had been planted yesterday.
A little while later—
“Kihiht! Kkeeng!”
[Hehe. You guys lost to the Great Kkamang, so now you’re the Great Kkamang’s underlings!]
“Kiki!”
Kkamang had managed to assert his dominance over the Catastrophe Eaters and was now their self-proclaimed leader.
And then—
“Kkeeng?! Kkeeng!”
[Where did you guys spit out the seeds?! Lead your Great Leader Kkamang to them!]
For once, Kkamang was actually being useful.
“Hehe. I’ll trade one seed for one extreme-flavor roasted sweet potato jerky from the Butler,” Kkamang thought, ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) having already concocted a plan.
But— freёweɓnovel.com
“Hehehe. Kkamang, are you really in a position to negotiate with me right now?”
Sejun grabbed Kkamang’s cheeks and lifted him up, letting him dangle.
“Kkeeng!”
[Butler! I did it!]
After squishing Kkamang’s cheeks for a while, Sejun said, “Instead, if you make sure the Catastrophe Eaters spit the seeds only in designated areas, I’ll give you one extreme-flavor roasted sweet potato jerky.”
“Kihiht! Kkeeng! Kkeeng!”
[Hehe. Okay! The Great Kkamang will do his best, Butler!]
Kkamang eagerly accepted the deal.
“Kkeeng!”
[Hey, from now on, spit the seeds here!]
“Tweh! Tweh! Tweh!”
“Tweh! Tweh!”
Following Kkamang’s instructions, the Catastrophe Eaters started spitting seeds in the designated area near the waypoint.
Meanwhile—
“Where did you guys spit yours?”
“Kiki!”
Sejun followed the Catastrophe Eaters who had already spat out their seeds, collecting and planting them.
Since each Catastrophe Eater typically spat out three to five seeds, Sejun managed to plant an additional 400 seeds, bringing the total number of Catastrophe Eaters to 600.
As the 600 Catastrophe Eaters absorbed the Corruption energy around the waypoint, the oppressive energy significantly diminished.
Kkamang’s survival time increased to one hour, while Sejun’s extended to eight hours.
And then—
“What... what is this?!”
“A whole week?!”
Returning from their patrol, Emilla and Amur were shocked to discover that their survival time had dramatically increased.
When are we going to get off work?!
In a bad way.
One hour later—
“Well, we’re done here,” Sejun said as he led his group back to the Black Tower, timing it perfectly with Kkamang’s survival limit.
He couldn’t shout for Corruption since making loud noises would attract snakes.
Once Sejun and his group left—
“...Let’s just wrap up and go home early.”
“Yes!”
Realizing that trying to keep up with Sejun’s pace without overexerting themselves was the best approach, Emilla and Amur cleaned up the remaining snakes and left earlier than usual.
***
The next day—
“Well, we’re heading back now.”
With the number of Catastrophe Eaters increased to 2,500, Kkamang’s survival time had extended to five hours. Yet, Sejun still chose to leave after just one hour.
There wasn’t much else to do besides planting the seeds, and staying longer would just be a waste of time.
He wanted to search for Corruption, but from five kilometers away from the waypoint, it was a whole different world.
The Corruption energy was so dense that even Bat-Bat struggled to endure it. Sejun didn’t even consider approaching.
Another day passed—
“Hehehe. Seed Creation.”
Upon returning to the Land of Destruction, Sejun wore a confident grin.
[Please select the seed you wish to create.]
···
..

[Catastrophe Eater Seed]
[Catastrophe Pioneer Seed]
A new option had been added to the seed creation list: Catastrophe Pioneer Seed.
Today, Sejun had finally achieved the one hundred million harvests needed to unlock the Catastrophe Pioneer Seed.
“Create 95 Catastrophe Eater Seeds and 5 Catastrophe Pioneer Seeds.”
Since each Catastrophe Pioneer could plant around 7,000 seeds a day, Sejun decided to create only five Pioneer Seeds for now.
A moment later—
“Kiki!”
“Tweh! Tweh! Tweh!”
“Kya-kya!”
The Catastrophe Pioneers collected the seeds spat out by the Catastrophe Eaters and began planting them in the ground.
Now, even if Sejun didn’t visit every day, the Catastrophe Farm would continue operating automatically.
Sejun watched the self-sustaining Catastrophe Farm with a satisfied expression.
“There are only four weeks left. I need to start preparing for a perfect party.”
“Hehehe. I’m sure she’ll love it.”
Sejun imagined Aileen’s delighted smile four weeks from now.
“And now... the secret birthday mission begins,” Sejun announced, gathering his companions for a planning session for Aileen’s birthday party, scheduled for May 5th.
But—
“Puhuhut. Great Hybrid Chairman Park, does that mean I can’t tell Aileen about the birthday party preparations-nya?”
“Of course. It’s a secret.”
“Puhuhut. Got it-nya!”
“Queng?”
[Then, I can’t tell her about preparing her birthday gift either, right?]
“Yup. Can’t do that.”
“Kihiht! Kkeeng!”
[Hehe. Butler! The Great Kkamang is going to tell Aileen about the birthday party preparations!]
“Hey! What did I just say?! You can’t tell her anything!”
Before anything else, Sejun realized he needed to focus on security first.
