Solo Farming In The Tower

Chapter 520: The Great Blackie will Defeat the Kiwi!

TL: Hanguk

Tap. Tap.

[You have harvested a kiwi.]

···

..

.

While Theo was busy stamping seals on the back of the Green Pig Assassin Group’s heads, Sejun was harvesting kiwis with Cuengi and Piyot.

The Blackie family lacked the height and strength needed to pick kiwis, and Uren…

“Sejun~nim, let me help too.”

“No! Just stay still!”

Staying still was his way of helping.

Whenever Uren got close, unripe kiwis would fall, or healthy branches would unexpectedly drop on Sejun’s head, causing a series of misfortunes.

Yurorong.

So, Uren sat quietly and eventually fell asleep.

Kihihit. Kking! Kking!

[Hehe! The Great Blackie has won!]

Blackie climbed on the unconscious head of Neg, the Green Pig Assassin Group’s leader, and proudly flaunted his victory.

“As expected of the Great Blackie~nim!”

Kkiruk!

Shararang!

“You’re so cool!”

Caw!

Ppiyak!

Mumu!

While receiving praise from his subordinates.

After about 10 minutes…

“Puhuhut. Great Hybrid Chairman Park, I’ve finished stamping them all, meow!”

[You have subdued the Green Pig Assassin Group occupying the kiwi farm.]

[Quest completed.]

[You have been recognized as the rightful owner of the Kiwi Farm Land Deed on the 86th floor of the Golden Tower.]

[Land Deed Skill: Farm Information Lv. Max is activated.]

Theo had completed the land deed quest by stamping seals ten times on the heads of 500 assassins.

[You have taken command of 500 slaves.]

[Due to the effect of the <Title: Slave King> all your stats increase by 5.]

The stats gained from hiring employees naturally returned to nature, enhancing his battle aura.

“Mm. Good work.”

“Puhuhut. I, the Hybrid Vice Chairman Theo, work hard for Chairman Park, meow!”

“Right.”

Sejun patted Theo’s head in praise.

Just a little more harvesting to go.

He resumed picking kiwis.

While he was harvesting kiwis,

Kueng!

[Dad, this kiwi is special! It must be a new variety!]

Cuengi called out to Sejun.

“Really?”

When Sejun went over to where Cuengi was,

Crackle. Zap.

He found a kiwi that was emitting a faint electric charge, unlike the others.

Grab.

Sejun picked up the electrified kiwi with his bare hands. His magic power was high enough to suppress the electric current of the kiwi, so he wasn’t harmed.

Then,

[You have harvested the Electrified Gold Kiwi.]

[Your job experience has slightly increased.]

[Your Proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 9 has slightly increased.]

[You have gained 100 experience points.]

[You have achieved the achievement of creating a new variety in the tower.]

···

..

.

[Due to your job trait, all stats have increased by 20.]

A series of messages appeared.

It really was a new variety.

“Cuengi, well done.”

Kuehehehe.

After hugging Cuengi tightly to praise him, Sejun checked the options for the Gold Kiwi.

[Electrified Gold Kiwi]

→ A kiwi grown in the Golden Tower, accidentally bore fruit from a kiwi tree that absorbed the earth’s lightning energy.

→ The flesh turned yellow and became sweeter from absorbing lightning energy.

→ Upon consumption, Agility increases by 5, and strengthens lightning attribute talent.

→ Cultivator: Black Tower Farmer Park Sejun

→ Shelf Life: 180 daysExclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

→ Grade: S

“Not bad.”

Increase in Agility along with an enhancement of lightning attribute talent.

It was an option that would benefit both him and Cuengi, who possessed lightning attribute talent.

After confirming the kiwi’s options, Sejun

Slice.

cut the Electrified Gold Kiwi in half.

“This is a reward. Since Cuengi found it, I’ll let you have the first taste.”

He handed one half of the Gold Kiwi to Cuengi.

The kiwi had plenty of seeds, so giving Cuengi half wasn’t an issue.

Puk.

Sejun placed a seed from the remaining half of the Gold Kiwi, which was buried in the fruit’s flesh, into the Pouch of Abundance Crafted With Utmost Sincerity.

Then,

Swoosh.

[Time until 100 Electrified Gold Kiwi seeds are duplicated: 1 day.]

[Time until 15 Transcendence Black Beans (+2) are duplicated: 1 day.]

[Time until 1 Seed of Great Magic Stream is duplicated: 1 day.]

The message on the side of the pouch changed.

At that moment,

Scoop.

···?

A spoon suddenly entered Sejun’s mouth.

Kuehehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehe. Dad, you take the first bite!]

With bright, sparkling eyes, Cuengi had given the very first taste to Sejun.

Sniff! Cuengi…

‘Is this the joy of raising a child?’

Looking at Cuengi, Sejun felt his heart swell with emotion.

[Your soul becomes filled with overwhelming emotion.]

[Your Mental Strength has increased by 20.]

Sejun’s Mental Strength increased significantly.

“It’s delicious.”

Sejun savored the taste of the kiwi in his mouth. Perhaps because Cuengi had given it to him, it tasted even sweeter and more delicious.

Kuehehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehe. It’s tastier than the other kiwis!]

Cuengi took a spoonful of the Gold Kiwi and beamed with a bright smile.

As father and son shared a happy smile together,

Thud thud thud.

Kking?! Kking!

[Are you two eating something delicious without me?! Give me some too!]

The Great Blackie made his entrance!

Seeing the half-sliced kiwi in Sejun and Cuengi’s hands, Blackie quickly ran over, wagging his tail and barking as fiercely as he could manage.

“Just a little bit. Eating too much of this will upset your stomach.”

Kking!

[Hurry and give it to me!]

The Great Blackie will defeat the kiwi!

He successfully acquired the Gold Kiwi.

***

“Why is there no news?”

More than 30 minutes had passed since the Green Pig Assassin Group had sent a signal that they’d found Uren, yet there was no further news.

Marin, who had been eagerly waiting for the good news that Uren had been taken care of, began to frown.

If Uren managed to break through the encirclement and reach the Daemon Family, everything would be over.

“Don’t worry, Lord Marin. Our Green Pig Assassin Group’s pride, the Green Hunger squad, has never failed. They’re probably just taking a bit longer because they’re handling it quietly.”

The head of the Green Pig Family, Egion, spoke confidently to Marin.

The heads of Green Pig and Red Pig Families, who had received reports that their children Evis and Nellie were suffering great hardships(?) in the Black Tower, helped Marin to eliminate Uren and rescue their children.

Unlike Machun and Magin, the two were simply struggling due to their lack of business sense, but

-Uren is subjecting Evis and Nellie to hard labor in extreme conditions. They might die if we don’t rescue them soon.

The report in Marin’s hand had completely different contents.

After waiting about 30 minutes like that,

“Hm?”

Someone began to emerge from the kiwi farm.

But,

“See, our Green Pig Assassins, huh?”

“Those are not our men!”

The scene was nothing like what they had expected.

Only Sejun and his companions leisurely walked out of the kiwi farm.

The pride of the Green Pig Family, the Green Hunger Assassin Squad, was nowhere to be seen. Not a single one of them.

They’d been defeated.

“Deploy the troops!”

“Yes, sir!”

Understanding the situation, Marin didn’t hesitate and immediately ordered his subordinate.

Bwooo-oo-oo!

The subordinate blew a horn to signal the waiting troops.

Then, with a slight tremor in the ground, soldiers began advancing toward the kiwi farm, closing in from a position about 500 meters away.

It was a grand march of 100,000 troops – 50,000 soldiers raised by Marin, 20,000 from the Green Pig and Red Pig Families, and 30,000 hastily hired mercenaries.

However,

Kueng-foooooo!

Suddenly, a powerful roar, unfitting for such a cute sound, blasted from the enemy lines with enough force to send a large rock embedded in the ground flying.

The troops’ advance visibly slowed.

The 100,000 troops, overwhelmed by Cuengi’s mighty Kueng-fooo, lost their fighting spirit.

To have their morale crushed before even engaging in battle!

“Nelk-nim, I’ll leave this to you.”

Marin looked at Nelk, the head of the Red Pig Family, and said.

“Leave it to me. The Red Pig Family’s Bomber Unit, the Red Terror, prepare for takeoff!”

When Nelk shouted loudly, one of his subordinates waved a massive red flag.

Boom! Boom!

Three hundred red pigs, who had been waiting in the rear, launched themselves into the sky using the rocket backpacks strapped to their backs.

As they reached their highest point, wings unfolded on either side of their backpacks, and the pigs of the Red Pig Family began to soar freely through the sky, dropping bombs over Sejun and his companions from above.

However,

“Shield, come out. Cuengi, lift this above our heads.”

Kueng!

Sejun summoned the Elder Brother Shield of Dragon Horn that Protects Proudly from his Void Storage using his Power and

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The bombs were easily blocked.

“Puhuhut. They’re employees, meow!”

Piyo!

[Theo~nim, I’ll help too!]

Meanwhile, Theo and Piyot quickly ascended into the sky, taking down the bombers.

Kueng!

Cuengi used telekinesis to catch the falling Red Terror squad members and gathered them all in one place.

“How could this be… for the Red Terror to be defeated so effortlessly…?”

Nelk and the Red Pig Family pigs were in shock as the bombing squad was subdued in an instant.

The shock spread to the surrounding troops, completely crushing their morale.

······

Before long, even the sound of the soldiers’ footsteps disappeared.

“Puhuhut.”

That attack just now was aimed at Chairman Park, meow! Now that you’re full-time employees, you’ll be paying for your sins for the rest of your lives, meow!

In the now silent battlefield, the only sound was Theo’s laughter as he stamped seals on the foreheads of the red pigs.

At that moment,

-Marin, if we keep going like this, we’ll lose. And that will be the end of your dream of becoming the family head.

The red gemstone embedded in Marin’s necklace glowed, and a sinister whisper echoed in his mind.

104.28.193.250

‘I know! But there’s nothing I can do!’

Marin responded in his mind, seemingly familiar with the whisper.

-There is a way. Surrender your body to me, and I will deal with these lowly pests for you.

‘What?! What do you mean by that?!’

-You don’t want to? Then do you want your children to feel the same emotions you felt? If that’s your choice, do as you please.

The whisper sneered while stabbing at Marin’s heart, and

‘That’s…’

Marin began to waver.

Ever since he’d been lost the family head position to his older brother, Yuto, Marin had felt a deep sense of betrayal.

Those who had once seemed willing to do anything for Marin had immediately severed ties and flocked to Yuto when Marin failed to become the family head.

Marin felt as if he’d fallen to rock bottom, no, even deeper.

With his chances of becoming family head gone, he had become worthless.

It was then that he encountered the necklace he now wore.

-Look at your brother Yuto, Marin. Doesn’t it enrage you that someone with less ability than you is sitting in the family head position?

-Do you want your children to feel the same bitterness you did?

The being within the necklace had fed on Marin’s jealousy and resentment, whispering to him that he must secure the family head position for his children.

Just then, when a gap in the next family head position started appearing due to Uren’s foolish actions,

Those who had once turned their backs on Marin began to approach him again, pretending as if nothing had ever happened, suggesting that either of his sons, Machun or Magin, should become the next family head.

-Marin, if you don’t become the family head, you’ll be cast aside.

-Don’t let your children experience the same sense of worthlessness.

The whispers from the necklace drove Marin to an obsessive pursuit of the family head position.

And now,

‘Fine. I’ll offer up my body.’

Driven by his obsession, Marin finally resolved to sacrifice even his own body for the sake of becoming the family head.

As soon as Marin consented,

-Kukuku. Marin Daemon, a good choice.

With a chillingly delighted whisper, a crimson energy began to seep from the necklace, consuming Marin’s body.

-I am Silaut, the Demon King of Envy and Jealousy. In accordance with our contract, I’ll take your body and soul. It’s been amusing watching you chase empty dreams.

‘What?! This-! I rescind it! Give me back my body!’

-Kukuku. Regret always comes too late.

With that, Silaut subdued Marin’s soul.

“Kukuku. I, Silaut, Demon King of Envy and Jealousy, have returned.”

The pink pig’s eyes turned a menacing red, and it smirked with a sinister grin.
