Solo Farming In The Tower

Chapter 359: I Like the Name Already

TL: Hanguk

“No. Am I not going because I don’t want to? How can I go when there’s no door?”

Upon hearing Stella’s voice message, Sejun spoke with a sense of injustice. It’s not like she helped him with anything…

He had passed the trial alone, and was searching for the door alone. Yet she’s only getting angry…

He wanted to ignore it,but her last message saying, ‘Tell my mom I’m alive!’ weakened Sejun’s heart.

The word ‘mom’ was really…

But there was a problem.

“How would I know who Stella Hisron’s mother is?”

Even if he wanted to pass the message, he couldn’t since he didn’t know who Stella’s mother was.

“Aileen, do you know a dragon named Stella Hisron?”

So he asked Aileen.

But

[The Tower’s Administrator says she’s not sure.]

Aileen, being young, did not have a wide network among dragons.

[The Tower’s Administrator says, looking at the surname Hisron, Stella seems like a great silver dragon.]

“Oh! Aileen, that’s amazing!”

[The Tower’s Administrator smugly says that much is nothing to her.]

Sejun, although he already knew, feigned surprise to make Aileen feel good.

[The Tower’s Administrator asks, isn’t ‘Stella’ a female name though?]

[The Tower’s Administrator narrows her eyes and tells you to truthfully report how you knew the name ‘Stella Hisron’.]

“Ah, that’s…”

Sejun had nothing to hide, so he told Aileen everything as it was.

Then

[The Tower’s Administrator says it’s outrageous that she asked you for a favor while making you pay her money.]

[The Tower’s Administrator says she never doubted you.]

Aileen quickly changed her stance. He knew she totally suspected him.

[The Tower’s Administrator asks you to wait a little.]

[The Tower’s Administrator says she will use her information network to find out about the dragon named ‘Stella Hisron.’]

“Alright.”

‘Kaiser~nim, seems like you will likely get called.’ It was clear who Aileen would inquire, so Sejun replied with a hidden smile.

“Just in case, you also listen to the voice too.”

Sejun sent the voice message orb to Aileen.

Then he ate the remaining carrot soup, finished his work, and fell asleep.

***

Black Tower Administrator’s area.

“Sejun, just wait a bit. I’ll ask my grandfather who ‘Stella Hisron’ is.”

As Sejun predicted, Aileen was about to call Kaiser.

Then

“Aileen, are you busy?”

“Huh? Grandpa Tier?”

Tier with his purple hair and a silver-haired woman entered the administrator area.

“Aileen, greet her. This is Crisella Hisron, the leader of the great silver dragons.”

Tier introduced Crisella.

“Hello, Crisella~nim.”

“Yes…”

Crisella trailed off. Seeing Aileen reminded her of her deceased daughter, and it was hard for her to compose herself.

“Crisella~nim, do you know a dragon named Stella Hisron?”

Aileen asked, assuming the leader of all silver dragons would know.

“Yes… How do you know that name?!”

Crisella asked in a startled voice, not expecting to hear her deceased daughter’s name here.

“Ah. Our Sejun told me.”

“Sejun?”

“Crisella, Sejun is the Black Tower’s Tower Farmer. All the crops sold in the Dragon Market are grown by him. Aren’t you curious about what kinds of crops are sold at the Dragon Market?”

Tier elaborated, hoping Crisella would become curious about the Dragon Market, but

“But how does this guy, named Sejun, know my daughter’s name?”

Crisella ignored Tier’s explanation and pressed Aileen.

“Our Sejun, not just some ‘guy’!”

Aileen snapped back defensively at Crisella’s words.

Boooo.

I’m angry! Aileen puffed her cheeks like a pufferfish to show she was upset.

“Ah, Aileen, I apologize. I take back calling him ‘that guy.’ But how does Sejun know Stella?”

Crisella quickly apologized to soothe Aileen’s anger.

“Well… That’s because… Aunt Stella sent this to our Sejun.”

Aileen said, showing the voice message orb that Sejun had sent.

When Aileen infused magic into the orb,

[Hey! What the hell are you doing?! Why haven’t you come to the 10th tower yet?! And tell my mom that I’m alive!]

Stella’s voice came out.

“This… this voice is… Stella…”

Crisella immediately recognized the owner of the voice as her daughter and played the voice message orb several times, listening to Stella’s voice.

“When did Sejun receive this?”

“Just a moment ago.”

“Then… our Stella is in the 10th tower and not dead…”

Crisella said in a moved voice.

And Aileen, watching Crisella closely,

‘Keeheehee. This is a great opportunity for our Sejun!’

It seemed like she could fill up Sejun’s vault that she managed.

“Crisella~nim, our Sejun spent a lot of money to receive this voice message orb.”

So she mentioned Sejun’s efforts and decided to recover the money he spent to get the voice message orb.

“Really? How much did it cost?”

“10 billion Tower Coins.”

Multiplied by 10,000 times. Aileen boasted a large amount. She was going to be a very great dragon.

“Alright. I’ll compensate you for all of it. No. From now on, whenever you receive a voice message orb from Stella, bring it to me, and I’ll give you 10 billion Tower Coins!”

“Crisella, why don’t you take this chance to use the Dragon Market too? Using the Dragon Market will help Sejun.”

Seeing the opportunity, Tier spoke again about the Dragon Market. Becoming a VIP of the Dragon Market wasn’t far off.

“Understood. I owe Sejun as well.”

Thus, influenced by Tier’s words, Crisella became a member of the Dragon Market.

“Crisella~nim, please sign this contract here.”

While Aileen was getting Crisella’s signature on the contract for Dragon Market membership,

-Muahahaha! Sejun!

“Um… Tier~nim?”

Tier woke up the sleeping Sejun to receive a 30-day VIP trial membership at the Dragon Market for having enrolled Crisella.

And as he hurried back to the fountain,

-Tier.

Hidden among the cornfields, Kellion called out to Tier in a quiet voice, who was of the same normal-grade until just a moment ago.

-Kellion, I’m a VIP at the Dragon Market now! Guys, Kellion is here!

Tier called Kaiser and Ramter.

-Tier, you traitor!

I was going to become a VIP first and make fun of you! After glaring at Tier who became a VIP before him, Kellion quickly hid himself.

***

Red Tower 42nd Floor.

“Block the cactuses!”

“Yes!”

Following Udon’s orders, other dwarf subordinates began to fight the cactuses.

[Beanie’s Flame Beans have been planted.]

…

..

.

In the meantime, Udon diligently planted the Flame Beans.

The effect of the Flame Beans was remarkable. As soon as they were planted, the surrounding heat significantly reduced, and the desertification stopped progressing.

Thanks to this, Udon had been planting Flame Beans from the 48th floor down, and was currently on the 42nd floor.

Then,

“Udon~nim, it’s the Flame Cactuses!”

Cactuses spewing out blue-colored high-temperature flames approached.

“Prepare the firebombs!”

“Yes!”

Following Udon’s orders, dwarfs holding pots with fully grown Flame Beans stepped forward.

Then,

Fwoop! Fwoop! Fwoop!

The Flame Beans heads spat out Flame Bean seeds towards the cactuses.

The Flame Beans could shoot their seeds at enemies and explode them when threatened.

Udon discovered this during a battle with the cactuses and since then they had been carried the Flame Beans in pots.

Bang! Boom!

Hundreds of seeds collided with the cactuses, exploding instantly and completely annihilating them.

And then,

[Your crop has killed a monster.]

[You have gained 10,000 experience points.]

[Your crop has killed a monster.]

[You have gained 10,000 experience points.]

…

..

.

Udon gained experience points for killing monsters.

“Puhahaha. This is quite convenient.”

Udon said with a laugh.

If Sejun had known that Udon was reaping such benefits from his crops, he would have immediately sent a new variety.

However, Sejun was unaware that Udon was benefiting.

***

“Alright.”

Upon waking,

[During sleep, 10% of your life force has been stored.]

[You have 3 Life Orbs.]

[You cannot produce any more Life Orbs.]

[Your magic power has accumulated 0.1 over 24 hours.]

[Your magic power has increased by 0.1.]

The messages appeared before Sejun.

“That’s a pity.”

Sejun spoke upon seeing the message that he couldn’t create more Life Orbs. Even though it was only 0.2%, it was a shame to waste it.

Then,

[The Tower’s Administrator says she have found out who Stella Hisron is.]

[The Tower’s Administrator says Aunt Stella is the daughter of Crisella Hisron, the leader of the great silver dragons.]

Aileen, who had been waiting for Sejun to wake up, relayed the information she had discovered.

“Daughter?”

[The Tower’s Administrator confirms.]

[The Tower’s Administrator also says that Grandma Crisella has agreed to give 10 billion Tower Coins each time you pass on a voice orb message from Aunt Stella.]

“10 billion? Not 1 million?”

Spending 1 million Tower Coins to receive 10 billion Tower Coins was a highly profitable deal.

[The Tower’s Administrator says that Grandma Crisella has also said she will give 10 billion Tower Coins if you can deliver a voice message to Aunt Stella.]

Along with Aileen’s words, a voice message orb appeared.

It was a higher-grade voice message orb than the one sent by Stella, capable of recording up to one hour.

“Am I supposed to deliver it?”

Can that work? I’ve never tried it, so I’m not sure.

“Deliver to Stella Hisron of the 10th tower, deliver to the 10th tower, deliver to the 10th tower…”

He tried saying a few activation words, but there was no response.

“Time for breakfast.”

Sejun neatly gave up and headed to the kitchen.

While he was making breakfast,

“Chairman Park, I’m back~meow!”

Theo flew towards Sejun’s face.

“Yeah.”

Sejun didn’t dodge and opened his face to Theo. His lips touched Theo’s pink belly.

“Bububububup.”

“Meow! It’s ticklish, meow!”

Sejun blew air from his mouth to detach Theo. As a result of long learning, this was the least troublesome way to get Theo off.

“Vice Chairman Theo, did you do well?”

As Sejun looked at Theo hanging from his knee,

“Puhuhut. Yes, meow! I did very well, meow!”

Theo bragged boastfully. He was usually smug, but today the intensity of his smugness was even greater. It seemed he had something he was confident about.

“Look at this, meow!”

Then Theo turned his bag inside out, shaking it vigorously.

Out poured gold, Tower Coins, and grape seed oil. He had collected them quite diligently.

“Well done.”

But this much wouldn’t usually make Theo this boastful.

As Sejun, who knew Theo well, was puzzled,

“Puhuhut. There are still two left, meow!”

Theo held up each of his front paws, one at a time, displaying the items. In his left front paw was a black bead, and in his right, a brown bead.

“Fenrir’s core fragment?”

Sejun recognized the black bead and commented.

“Puhuhut. Right, meow! Go ahead and check it, meow!”

“Okay.”

Prompted by Theo, Sejun examined Fenrir’s core fragment and found that it contained as much as 2% of Fenrir’s power.

The thought of some other monster picking this up was dizzying.

“Vice Chairman Theo, well done.”

Sejun vigorously patted Theo’s head as he praised him.

“Puhuhut. I know, meow! I always do well, meow!”

Theo was simply delighted by Sejun’s praise. As usual, there wasn’t a hint of modesty, but that was part of Theo’s charm.

“Check this out too, meow!”

Theo then handed the brown gem to Sejun.

[Jewel of the Earth]

“I like the name already.”

Sejun picked up the Jewel of the Earth and examined it.
