Solo Farming In The Tower-Chapter 718: Puhuhu. Chairman Park, don’t you trust the golden paw of Vice Chairman Theo?!
The Land of Destruction.
As the first Wall of Destruction crumbled —
[You have achieved the great Primordial Feat of being the first to destroy a Wall of Destruction in the Land of Destruction.]
A notification of a great Primordial Feat appeared before Sejun.
A great Primordial Feat?!
He had received Primordial Feats before, but this was the first time he had ever gotten a great one.
Hehehe.
What kind of incredible reward will it give?
While Sejun was brimming with anticipation —
[As a reward for the great Primordial Feat, you are supposed to receive the <Authority: Judge of Destruction>. However, with your current abilities, you cannot receive it.]
Once again, [System 371] crushed his hopes.
Again with the nerfing?!
Does it even matter if the world is crumbling?! Just impeach it already!
As if understanding Sejun’s frustration —
[We will quickly search for an alternative reward!]
SJC, find an alternative, now!
Yes, System 371!
[System 371] swiftly coordinated with [System SJC], splitting the colossal reward from the great Primordial Feat into a series of meager, accessible rewards for Sejun.
After about three seconds —
[As a reward for the great Primordial Feat, you have received <Authority: Weak Destruction Resistance>.]
[As a reward for the great Primordial Feat, you have acquired the <Title: Wall Breaker>.]
[As a reward for the great Primordial Feat, you have awakened the .]
[As a reward for the great Primordial Feat, all of your stats have increased by 3,000.]
[As a reward for the great Primordial Feat, you have obtained 1,000 trillion Tower Coins.]
[As a reward for the great Primordial Feat, your stay fees for the 0th floor have been reduced by 15%.]
A flurry of reward notifications appeared.
“Well, they’re at least trying.”
Sejun nodded, somewhat satisfied as he reviewed the rewards granted by [System 371].
<Authority: Weak Destruction Resistance> granted a minimal resistance to the energy of Destruction.
<Title: Wall Breaker> reduced the durability of walls.
provided knowledge about newly cultivated crops, enabling Sejun to farm without trial and error.
While Sejun was going over the rewards —
Flash.
A bright light gathered in the air, forming a white crystal.
“Huh?”
Is that... a waypoint?
Tap.
Sejun placed his hand on the white crystal.
[The waypoint in the Land of Destruction has been saved.]
A waypoint had been created.
“Oh. I was worried I’d have to come all the way back here, but I guess not.”
Sejun grinned, pleased that the travel distance had been significantly reduced.
In the meantime —
Kyaa-kyaa!
Kiki!
The Catastrophe Pioneers and Catastrophe Predators began moving further north.
Swish. Swish.
The Catastrophe Pioneers shielded the Catastrophe Predators from the [Parasitic Snakes of Corrupted Catastrophe], steadily advancing across the Land of Destruction.
Now, they were truly living up to their name as Catastrophe Pioneers, paving the way through the land of ruin.
Plop. Plop.
Sejun calmly followed behind, planting seeds for both the Catastrophe Pioneers and the Catastrophe Predators.
A short while later —
“Let’s head back.”
“Puhuhu. Got it, nya!”
“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. Yes.”
Sejun returned to the Temple of the Creator God with Theo and Iona to start preparing food.
After a few hours of cooking —
“But what should I give as gifts for Aileen and the kids?”
Sejun muttered to himself, lost in thought.
By now, he was a party veteran, so preparing for the celebration wasn’t an issue. But picking the right gifts? That was tricky.
Well, he didn’t have to think too hard about Kkamang’s gift.
For Kkamang, it was always the same — Extreme-Taste Roasted Sweet Potato Jerky.
If he tried giving Kkamang anything else, he’d just get mad.
At that moment —
“Puhuhu. Great Hybrid Chairman Park, don’t worry, nya! Just trust your Vice Chairman Theo, nya!”
Theo said, his voice brimming with confidence.
“Oh? Vice Chairman Theo, do you have a good idea? Tell me!”
Sejun’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.
However —
“Puhuhu. Not yet, nya!”
Theo crushed Sejun’s expectations with complete and utter confidence.
“What?! You said to trust you!”
Sejun’s blood pressure spiked.
“Puhuhu. Chairman Park, don’t you trust the golden paw of Vice Chairman Theo, nya?!”
“I do. I mean, yes, I trust it!”
“Puhuhu.”
Theo proudly extended his golden paw, and Sejun accepted it without further questioning.
Even if he couldn’t fully trust Theo, he could always trust Theo’s golden paw.
After chatting with Theo for a few more hours —
As evening approached —
“Time to head back. Oh, and I need to leave some snacks behind.”
Sejun left some snacks for the Creator God, then returned to the Black Tower with Theo and Iona.
The moment he returned —
Grrr. Squeak?! Squeak!
[Grrr. Butler! Where did you go without the Great Kkamang?! If you keep doing this, it’s no fun!]
Once again, Kkamang threw a tantrum, furious that he had been left behind.
“Not fun? Oh? What are you going to do about it?! Do I have to report to you wherever I go?!”
Squeak!
[Butler! I’m sorry!]
Kkamang hung from Sejun’s hand, his cheeks pinched as he was subjected to a time of reflection.
While Kkamang was being scolded —
“Koohehehe. Queng!”
[Hehehe. Dad, Queng is back!]
Queng flew in from the herb farm, having finished his day’s work.
“Alright, let’s eat.”
Sejun and his companions sat down for dinner.
The dinner menu was curry made from the turmeric Queng had harvested.
They’d been eating it for days, but by varying the ingredients, they had vegetable curry, chicken curry, and more.
And depending on what it was served with — curry rice, curry tteokbokki, curry udon — there were endless variations.
However, the turmeric was finally running out...
Tonight’s curry would be the last one.
They ran out of ingredients before they could get tired of the taste.
After eating his final curry dinner, Sejun stretched contentedly.
“Hahaha. I’m so full. Queng, should we have dessert?”
“Koohehehe. Queng!”
[Hehehe. Yes!]
Queng readily agreed.
“Kihihit. Squeak!”
[Heehee. Butler! The Great Kkamang wants dessert too! Give me Extreme-Taste Roasted Sweet Potato Jerky!]
Kkamang also demanded his “dessert.”
“That’s not dessert. Don’t you know what dessert is?”
Puhuhut.
This guy has no idea.
Sejun looked down at Kkamang with a smug expression.
Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!
[If you eat it after a meal, it’s dessert! Once it’s in your belly, it’s all the same! You’re the one who doesn’t know anything, Butler!]
Kkamang barked back indignantly.
“It’s not the same!”
Squeak! Squeak!
[It is the same! The Great Kkamang is always right!]
“You little—!”
Sejun moved to grab Kkamang, but —
Squeak!
[Run away!]
Kkamang darted off at full speed.
“Tch. For a sunfish, he’s pretty fast.”
Grumbling, Sejun headed to the kitchen and made two cups of strawberry yogurt for dessert.
“Here. Dessert time.”
Of course, he also gave Kkamang a single piece of roasted sweet potato jerky as his “dessert.”
Sejun had initially planned to make an Extreme-Taste Roasted Sweet Potato Latte for Kkamang, but since he insisted, he missed out.
Blissfully unaware, Kkamang munched happily on his jerky.
Chomp. Chomp.
Heehee.
It’s delicious!
As they enjoyed their dessert —
“Wow. The stars are so pretty.”
The night deepened.
***
Boom!
Corruption expelled the astral entity it had infused with its power, sending it flying out of the Land of Destruction.
If Sejun encountered it on his way here, he might end up dead. Corruption had given it too much power.
Truth be told, Corruption wanted to retrieve and expel the previous entities he had released, but some of them had already crossed the fifth Wall of Destruction.
And Corruption couldn’t go beyond the walls to chase after them.
If I cross the walls, Sejun will be in danger.
Beyond just closing the physical distance between them, the Walls of Destruction also absorbed some of Corruption’s power, preventing it from leaking out.
Inadvertently, Corruption had ended up isolating itself, much like the Creator God.
Sejun was truly a force to be reckoned with — managing to quarantine the world’s most dangerous beings.
Incidentally, the first Wall of Destruction that Sejun had destroyed was the wall that absorbed the least of Corruption’s power. Currently, Corruption was actively reducing its power output, allowing almost no absorption by the wall.
Thus, Sejun’s destruction of the first wall hadn’t caused any noticeable consequences.
“Kekeke. Got you.”
“Please, let me go! Spare me!”
“Kekeke. Stay still.”
Corruption found another astral entity, grabbed it, and swallowed it whole.
After infusing it with his power —
Pop!
He expelled it again.
Boom!
He banished it from the Land of Destruction.
As a result, Corruption’s strength was now reduced to approximately 30% of its original power.
“Kekeke. The time to meet Sejun is drawing near.”
Corruption’s eyes glowed with anticipation as he awaited his encounter with Sejun.
Moments later —
“Kekeke. The thought entity has awakened.”
Corruption connected his mind to one of the entities he had just sent out.
And then —
It’s Sejun!
Through the eyes of the entity, Corruption could see Sejun.
Park Sejun, you don’t hate me.
You don’t despise me.
We’ll be together forever.
A crimson gleam of madness began to swirl in Corruption’s eyes.
***
The Next Morning.
“Uht-cha.”
Sejun woke up and stretched.
[You have successfully purged all Corruption from the World’s Aura, completing the quest.]
[As a reward for completing the quest, all stats have increased by 8.]
...
..
[As a reward for completing the quest, 0th-floor stay fees have been reduced by 0.00011%.]
“Hehehe.”
Not much left now.
Sejun grinned as he reviewed the quest completion messages.
His current reduction in stay fees was now 93.30411%. He only needed to decrease it by another 6.7% to acquire a Free Pass to Earth.
“Nyaa...”
Squeak...
In good spirits, Sejun got up, gathered Theo and the Kkamang family, and started his day.
***
Five Days Later.
Rumble!
The second Wall of Destruction collapsed.
This time, the Catastrophe Pioneers had been strong enough to handle the snakes, so there weren’t as many losses among the Catastrophe Predators.
With fewer casualties, the number of Catastrophe Predators grew to a staggering 50 trillion, and the second wall was brought down much faster than the ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) first.
During those five days, Sejun had focused solely on planting Catastrophe Pioneer seeds, increasing their numbers.
The more Pioneers he had, the more Predators they could protect. Plus, with their improved combat abilities and physical strength, the Pioneers were planting seeds five times faster than before.
“This time, nothing?”
Apparently, the system only acknowledged first-time achievements. This time, there were no feat notifications for breaking the second wall.
While Sejun was feeling a bit disappointed —
Woooom.
The shattered remains of the second Wall of Destruction began to release some of the Corruption’s power that it had been containing.
[<Authority: Weak Destruction Resistance> is resisting the Destruction energy.]
At the same time, Sejun’s authority activated, protecting him from the incoming wave of Destruction energy.
Though the resistance was weak, it was just enough to keep Sejun from passing out, allowing him to maintain his composure.
[The waypoint in the Land of Destruction has been saved.]
Having successfully survived the crisis, Sejun saved the waypoint and —
Kyaa-kyaa!
Kiki!
He resumed planting Catastrophe Pioneer seeds, following behind the advancing Pioneers and Predators.
Later that day, back in the Temple of the Creator God —
“Vice Chairman Theo, aren’t you going to look for the gifts? It’s about time, isn’t it?”
Sejun, who had entrusted the gift preparations to Theo, was growing anxious. Theo had been lounging around on Sejun’s lap for five days straight without moving.
And with only five days left until May 5th, Sejun was starting to panic.
“There’s still no pull, nya! Vice Chairman Theo isn’t just lazing around, nya! I’m working hard to find it, nya!”
Theo protested, sounding offended by Sejun’s doubts.
“Oh. Is that it? My bad. Sorry for disturbing you. Keep at it.”
“Puhuhu. Got it, nya!”
Feeling smug, Theo closed his eyes confidently.
But —
Grooorooong.
Kyurorooong.
The sound of Theo snoring echoed through the temple as he slept soundly alongside Iona.
“Hey!”
I can’t take this anymore!
Sejun grabbed Theo by his cheeks, pulling them apart as he glared down at him.
“Nya... Fine, fine. I’ll go look for it, nya! Iona, let’s go, nya!”
“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. Yes!”
Theo finally hauled himself up, grumbling, and headed down the tower with Iona.
And then —
[Black Tower 99th Floor Mushroom Ant No. 1: Vice Chairman Theo and Iona are descending. Alert: Two cats, two hamsters approaching!]
The entire Black Tower went on high alert at the news that Theo the Troublemaker and Iona the Great Destroyer were descending to the lower floors.
