Solo Farming In The Tower

Thump.

“What’s this?”

[Wooden Plank]

???

As Sejun asked about the wooden plank that Theo brought,

“Puhuhut. I felt a pull from there, meow!”

Theo replied with a triumphant voice.

“Really? Aileen, can you appraise this?”

Following Theo’s words, Sejun asked Aileen to appraise it with anticipation.

[The Tower’s Administrator says to leave it to her].

Aileen took the wooden plank to appraise.

And

[The Tower’s Administrator says Theo has brought great equipment.]

[The Tower’s Administrator is happy that the fourth relic has appeared.]

Aileen happily conveyed this to Sejun after appraising the wooden plank.

[Guardian Wooden Shield]

The relic that appeared in Sejun’s hand. The shield still looked shabby.

“This is a relic?!”

Sejun examined the shield.

[Guardian Wooden Shield]

→ An relic used by the ancient god of battle, Battler, made from a part of the World Tree.

→ When magic power is infused, it can change into any shape to protect its owner.

→ It can be restored to its original state if 50% of it remains.

→ Usage Restriction: Strength above 700, Stamina above 700

→ Creator: God of Battle, Battler

→ Grade: S

“Oh. It can change into any shape?”

As Sejun imagined a thin disc with a long handle,

Crack.

The wooden shield moved and formed the shape Sejun wanted.

Thanks to this, equipment needed to put pizza in the oven was completed.

Sejun quickly found a use for the relic.

A little later,

“Hehehe. Guys, let’s eat.”

Sejun said, taking out the pizza from the oven using the shape-shifted Guardian Wooden Shield,

Kueng!

Piyak!

Ppyak!

Smelling the pizza, the animals who had been eagerly waiting for the pizza to be ready hurriedly set the table.

Meanwhile, Sejun took out four more pizzas of the same type from the oven.

The pizzas were beautifully colored in red, white, and green on round dough.

It was a Margherita pizza topped with tomato paste, sticky corn, and green onions instead of basil.

Shoosh. Shoosh.

Sejun quickly cut the pizza into 16 slices.

Although 8 slices are the norm for pizza, cutting it that way would only make 40 slices for 5 pizzas.

However, there were far more mouths waiting to eat than that.

“Come on, don’t wait and just eat.”

Sejun quickly served slices of pizza on plates.

Because if it cools down, the sticky corn won’t stretch, and it wouldn’t feel like eating pizza.

Thus, Veronica and the animals had their first pizza in their lives.

…!

They were surprised by the taste as soon as they put it in their mouths,

Stretch.

And were surprised again by the sticky corn that kept stretching.

Kueng?!

Piyak?!

Ppyak?!

The animals were puzzled by the sticky corn that kept stretching even as they pulled it.

However,

Stretch.

Snap.

Unlike Veronica, who could snap the stretching sticky corn, the animals had much shorter legs.

Kueng!

[It’s getting away!]

So, Cuengi used telekinesis to float the pizza away,

Piyak!

[Honey, give me the pizza, I’ll pull it for you!]

Piyi!Piyi!

[Great! Give me your pizza!]

The rabbits exchanged their pizzas and pulled for each other.

“Puhup!”

Seeing the animals doing so, Sejun couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

He hurriedly took a piece of pizza for himself,

And took a bite.

The savoriness of the dough made from rice flour, the richness of the tomato paste, and the scent of green onions filled his mouth.

The ingredients showcased their own flavors.

But,

Munch. Munch.

The least distinctive flavor, the sticky corn, gently enveloped all the ingredients, blending them into a single taste.

Stretch.

Gulp.

“Hehehe. Delicious.”

Sejun enjoyed eating the pizza, slurping up the stretching sticky corn.

A little later.

……

The pizza on the table had disappeared.

“It’s gone…”

Kueng…

[It’s already gone…]

Piyak…

Ppyak…

Veronica and the animals felt disappointed.

“Don’t worry. I’ll bake two more. Just wait a moment.”

Thump. Thump.

Sejun made the dough again with rice flour and spread tomato paste on it.

And

Shoosh. Shoosh.

This time, instead of sprinkling the sticky corn directly, he thickly laid down mashed boiled sweet potatoes.

The second pizza he made was a sweet potato pizza.

Sejun then sprinkled onions and corn on top and finally added sticky corn before

Swoosh.

putting it into the oven.

While the pizza was baking, Sejun went outside.

Swoosh.

He harvested pineapples from the pineapple field.

Zzz…

The cut pineapple screamed as if it was about to open its mouth.

Then

“Ice Cube.”

Sejun wrapped the pineapple in ice,

Zzrrrjk.

Bang!

The screaming pineapple shattered the ice with a loud noise.

And

…Eek!

The noise spread outside.

The sound, having expended much of its energy breaking the ice, posed no threat to Sejun.

Sejun had developed a knack for harvesting pineapples.

By the time he had finished preparing the pineapples in the kitchen,

“Here. Let’s eat.”

The sweet potato pizza was ready.

“Delicious!!!”

Kueng!!!

Piyak!!!

Ppyak!!!

Veronica and the animals, showing their enthusiastic response again, enjoyed the pizza deliciously.

“Sejun-nim, you’re amazing!”

Kueng!

[As expected, everything Dad makes is delicious!]

Piyak!

[Sejun-nim is the best chef in the Black Tower!]

Ppyak! Ppyak!

[I want to move the kingdom here!]

After finishing the pizza, they praised Sejun while waiting for the next pizza, ready to eat anything Sejun made.

However,

“Huh?! Sejun-nim, what did you put in this?”

Kueng!

[Putting pineapple in it, Dad is a genius!]

Piyak?!

[Why would you eat that thing?!]

Ppyak! Ppyak!

[Uncle, you’re amazing! I never imagined it!]

When Sejun took out the last pizza, a pineapple pizza, from the oven, the animals’ reactions were divided.

“If you try it, you’ll change your mind.”

Even with Sejun’s persuasion, the anti-pineapple pizza faction was adamantly against it.

Thanks to that, only Sejun and the animals who liked pineapple pizza could eat a lot.

***

Atop the 99th floor fountain of the Black Tower.

-Kuh. The liquor tastes great.

-Exactly. Ehehehe.

-Would be nice to drink like this every day.

Kaiser, Kellion, and Ramter were enjoying the Samyangju,

And

-Me too.

Tier.

-Aren’t you leaving?

Kaiser frowned at Tier.

-I can’t. I haven’t taken Veronica yet. And Aileen said it’s okay.

Tier confidently answered with Aileen’s permission.

-Okay.

Kaiser, unable to say anything more upon hearing that Aileen had permitted it, just glared at Tier.

Tier had purchased 1000 bottles of Samyangju through Veronica from Sejun.

He had liquor, so he could drink alone, but there was a reason he chose to drink here, enduring the gaze of the other dragons.

It was because of the delicious side dishes Sejun made.

Salty and chewy dried squid, tuna sashimi that gently melts in the mouth, and roasted peanuts that became more savory the more you chewed.

And the sweet fruits, each with its own charming flavor. The side dishes were too delicious.

‘As if I’d leave this place.’

Tier decided never to leave the Black Tower.

Swoosh.

He picked up a green-colored fruit from the plate and put it in his mouth,

Chew. Chew.

Chewed it a bit to let the flavor and fragrance fill his mouth, then

Gulp.

Swallowed a glass of Samyangju.

-Oh! Eating melon and then drinking Samyangju gives it another mysterious flavor!

-Ah! Let’s drink!

Kaiser thought it would be a loss to get angry at Tier, so he chewed on dried roasted sweet potato while holding his drink.

-I’ll have one with peanuts.

-I’ll have one with tuna sashimi.

As the four dragon clan leaders were setting up a drinking session,

-Eh?! What’s this?!

Kellion suddenly felt something. A warm and bright energy.

-Kellion, what’s wrong?

Noticing Kellion’s serious reaction, Kaiser put down his drink and asked.

-Kaiser, it’s the power of light! It’s right below us!

Kellion responded and leaped towards where he felt the power of light coming from.

-What?! How is that possible?!

Kaiser was greatly surprised and quickly followed Kellion by jumping off the fountain.

After the Creator God disappeared, all harmony was broken and the world became chaotic.

“And darkness disappeared.”

“Light has vanished.”

During that tumultuous time, the black dragon lost the power of darkness, and the white dragon lost the power of light.

They didn’t know where or how they lost it.

It disappeared without any warning or trace, like breathing, which was once so natural…

‘But now the power of light is suddenly felt around here… Does that mean the power of darkness too?’

Light and darkness cannot exist without the other.

From a close view, light and darkness seem to repel each other, but from afar, they always coexist.

Just as the darkest dawn is followed by morning, at the end of light, there is darkness.

-Kellion, is the power of light coming from here?

Kaiser asked, standing next to Kellion with anticipation.

-Yeah. Ehehehe. Look at this. It’s coming from this flower.

Kellion, with a smile on his face, said while looking at a sunflower that was absorbing light.

The sunflower was standing tall, absorbing light, and storing the power of light in its seeds.

‘If it’s in the farm, Sejun must have planted it?’

Kellion hurriedly flew towards Sejun.

Sejun needed to harvest quickly so he could buy the seeds.

***

“Here, this is for dessert.”

Sejun, reviving memories, prepared juice in a carrot cup.

He blended it with bananas and honey to share the Longevity Peach.

Gulp.

Thanks to that, everyone ate a similar amount of Longevity Peach and their lifespan increased by about 16 years each.

“Are you leaving first thing tomorrow morning?”

Sejun asked Father Rabbit in a regretful voice.

Piyak!Piyak?

[Yes! I have to water the carrot field. Can you give me some sticky corn seeds when I leave?]

“Sure. I’ll give you 10.”

Piyak!

[Thank you!]

As Sejun was handing out the sticky corn seeds to Father Rabbit,

“Meow?! Chairman Park, Blackie has woken up, meow!”

Theo informed Sejun that Fenrir had woken up.

“Blackie has?”

As Sejun peeked outside the kitchen,

Kking?!Kking!

‘Where is the one who feeds me?! I’m hungry!’

Fenrir, having woken up, was desperately calling for Sejun.

“Blackie, you awake?”

As Sejun called out to Fenrir,

Kking?

‘Where were you?’

Thud. Thud.

Fenrir eagerly ran towards Sejun.

And then,

Kkingcha. Kkingcha.

After struggling to get over the kitchen threshold,

Swoosh.

He sat down in front of Sejun’s feet. Feed me!

Woosh. Woosh.

Fenrir’s tail was moving vigorously. He seemed very happy to see Sejun.

“My little Blackie is hungry, isn’t he?”

When Sejun took out roasted dried sweet potato for Fenrir,

Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.

Fenrir, apparently very hungry, devoured it greedily.

‘Now’s the chance!’

Swoosh.

Seizing the opportunity, Sejun took out the mithril armor he had made earlier and began to dress Fenrir in it.

Kking?!

‘What is this?!’

Fenrir seemed displeased,

Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.

But couldn’t resist much while eating the dried sweet potato,

Swoosh. Swoosh.

Thanks to that, Sejun easily put the armor on him.

It was a bit loose, but not enough to easily come off.

Kking?! Kking!

‘What’s this?! I’m going to take it off!’

Fenrir, having finished the dried sweet potato, tried to take off the armor, but

“Blackie, sit.”

Swoosh.

At Sejun’s command, Fenrir immediately sat down. Are you going to give me more to eat? Then, I’ll bear with it.

While feeding Fenrir more dried sweet potato and getting him accustomed to the armor,

“Sejun! Come out for a moment!”

Kellion called out to Sejun with an extremely excited voice.

And then,

Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.

‘Heeheehee. Delicious! I’m happy!’

Unaware that he had helped his rival, the white dragon, find the power of light, Fenrir blissfully smiled while eating the dried sweet potato.
