Solo Farming In The Tower-Chapter 14Vol 2. : Welcome to the Kindergarten of Destruction! ()

<Earth>

"Shall we take a break too?"

"Yeah. Let’s have cake and coffee."

As Sejun emerged from the room after putting the children to sleep following lunch, Aileen nodded excitedly at his words.

Kuhehehe. Queng! Queng!

[Hehehe. Sounds great! Queng will brew the coffee right away!]

Crunch-crunch-crunch.

Eager to eat cake together, Queng excitedly began grinding beans with his forepaws.

A short while later—

Slurp.

“Ahhh. So good.”

“This is delicious!”

Queng!

[Delicious, da yo!]

Each of them wore a happy expression for their own reason.

Sejun simply loved coffee.

Aileen loved the harmony between cake and coffee.

Queng just loved the cake.

While the three enjoyed their break—

“Puhuhut. The great hybrid Chairman Park! Mirna-nim has sent a dragon fruit, nya!”

Theo, who had been napping, opened his eyes and pulled a dragon fruit from his satchel.

Please. Let this one be the one!

Sejun took the dragon fruit carefully, his expression desperate. His luck with these lately had been abysmal.

Well—not exactly terrible. It’s just that none of them were what Sejun actually wanted.

Since coming to Earth, he had obtained five dragon fruits and germinated all of them, but they had only duplicated his farming skills.

As a result, the five dragon fruits were now working day and night on the 99th floor farm of the Tower.

But what he truly needed—

A cooking skill!

Sejun was looking for a dragon fruit that could cook while he was away.

Just last night, Sejun had prepared five days’ worth of emergency rations—but by morning, they were gone.

The reason?

“Sorry. I got hungry early this morning and couldn’t help myself.”

Aileen had eaten them all.

Just the thought of “Sejun’s food, inside the subspace vault!” had jolted her awake. She’d devoured everything before she had a chance to resist.

If nothing had been there, it would've been fine. But resisting food that is there was apparently too hard.

So Sejun was now more desperate than ever to get a dragon fruit that could cook.

Drip.

With tears squeezed out from onions and drool from the divine Children of Creation, Sejun attempted to germinate the fruit.

“It sprouted!”

Finally, a dragon fruit emerged with both a cooking skill and a cleanliness maintenance skill.

Hehehe. Now Earth is safe even without me!

And I can make it clean too!

Sejun felt euphoric.

Mirna, God of Dragons, thank you. For making my Sejun happy.

Aileen silently offered her gratitude to Mirna.

Seed Store HQ

“Alright. Time to get started.”

God Sejun! God Sejun! God Sejun!

Mirna, the Dragon God, chanted the sacred phrase three times in her heart as she began crafting the dragon fruit.

What had started as a gesture to honor the only dragon who acknowledged her—Sejun—had gradually reversed roles.

Now the Dragon God was the one serving the dragon. And not even a full dragon—a somewhat ambiguous one.

But Mirna didn’t mind. She was currently the happiest she had been in all her existence.

She had someone—a dragon—who recognized her. She could do something for that dragon. That was enough.

And so what if he was ambiguous? That “ambiguous” dragon Sejun had brought peace to the world and was now raising the next-generation Creator.

Thanks to that, she and the other gods were beginning preparations to return to the world.

At this point, serving Sejun didn’t even feel strange anymore. In fact, other gods were starting to envy how close she was to him.

With such thoughts swirling, Mirna completed the dragon fruit.

“I’ll send this to Vice-Chairman Theo.”

She sent the finished fruit.

[Sent 1 Transcendent Seed Dragon Fruit to Vice-Chairman Park Theo of Sejun Company.]

[Quest completed.]

[You have received 5 Welfare Points as a quest reward.]

The quest was complete, and she gained Welfare Points.

Now that repeatable quests had been unlocked, she no longer needed direct requests from Theo—she could send Transcendent Seeds whenever she wanted and still be rewarded.

Just then—

[The Great Black Dragon Aileen Pritani has acknowledged Dragon God Mirna.]

[Receiving full recognition from a complete dragon—Divine Authority +100.]

A sudden message appeared before Mirna. All she’d done was send the fruit to Sejun via Theo, yet she received Aileen’s recognition.

“As expected! God Sejun!”

Everything starts with God Sejun.

And everything ends with God Sejun!

As Mirna basked in this emotional moment—

“God Sejun!”

“God Sejun!”

Chants praising Sejun rang out from elsewhere.

Other gods had picked up on Mirna’s chant and began chanting too. At the Seed Store HQ, once one chant began, it spread like wildfire.

Soon—

“God Sejun!”

“God Sejun!”

“God Sejun!”

All the non-combat gods had gathered in the plaza, chanting. Once these chants started, they wouldn’t stop until everyone was satisfied.

“God Sejun!”

Mirna joined the crowd, chanting as she ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) moved to the plaza. The one who began the chant was always invited to share a testimony of the miracle they’d just experienced.

Clink.

A Welfare Point fell to the floor in her hurry.

But how are Welfare Points even created?

Mirna was suddenly curious—but she had to get to the plaza quickly, so she set the question aside for now.

Main System Core

“Efficient use and distribution of resources is vital. So I convert the holy power that Chairman Park Sejun can’t use into Welfare Points. That way, I can do my job for him! Pretty clever, huh? I’m doing a good job, right?!”

[SYSTEM SJC] spoke proudly.

“You’re good.”

[SYSTEM Eoksamchiri] answered, his voice full of envy.

The ability to mint currency...

He was insanely jealous.

[SYSTEM Eoksamchiri] could issue Tower Coins as quest rewards—but it was different.

Tower Coins had existed since ancient times. They were created by the primitive [SYSTEM ZERO] and had been in use ever since.

So Eoksamchiri couldn’t help but admire SJC, who had created their own unique currency—Welfare Points.

He wanted to create his own too, just like SJC.

“You just said I’m good, right?! Hehehe. Then hand over the Main System to me!”

Completely missing Eoksamchiri’s thoughts, SJC became smug from the compliment and tried to seize system control.

At that moment—

[Mong-o of the 43rd Floor of the Red Tower has repaid 105 Tower Coins to Baeon of the 87th Floor.]

[Baeon received 100 Tower Coins principal + 5 Tower Coins interest.]

[The debt between Baeon and Mong-o has been cleared.]

Those system messages caught Eoksamchiri’s attention.

He immediately began analyzing them.

Though he had generated the messages himself, unless he focused, he wouldn’t notice their implications—like how humans don’t think about breathing.

A moment later—

This is it!

I am a brilliant system!

Eoksamchiri got a flash of inspiration and acted immediately.

[Creating Sejun Company Bonds.]

[Bond interest rate fixed at 1%. Denominations: 100 million, 1 billion, 10 billion, 100 billion, 1 trillion Tower Coins.]

As soon as he released the bonds—

[Nine-tailed fox Iril of the White Tower purchased two 1-trillion and five 100-billion Sejun Company bonds.]

[Silver Tower gambler Charlie purchased three 1-trillion Sejun Company bonds.]

...

..

.

They sold like wildfire.

Sejun Company—known across all nine towers, and its chairman and vice-chairman had personal ties to great dragons. Their credit rating wasn’t just AAA—it was SSS.

Even Sejun, who sucked in money like a black hole, would have to pay the 1% interest—recycling some of his funds.

Of course, a far bigger problem was that even more money would be sucked into the Sejun Family.

But since bonds functioned like currency, there was no issue.

No matter how much Theo burned through cash, the bonds would remain.

Sejun Company bonds would replace Tower Coins and stimulate the tower economy.

Hehehe. Two birds with one stone.

Eoksamchiri succeeded in both reviving the economy and lining his own pockets.

Soon, over 10 trillion Tower Coins’ worth of Sejun bonds had been sold—and Sejun now owed over 100 billion in interest.

Sejun didn’t even know this was happening.

As the number grew—

If I demand this from Sejun a year from now, he’ll impeach me on the spot, right?

Eoksamchiri started to panic.

Then—

Forget it! I’ll just collect it from someone else!

He decided to find the interest money elsewhere.

<Earth>

“Teacher! Let’s play!”

The children, fully recharged from their nap, started bouncing around.

“Teacher! Let’s play hide-and-seek! We’re really good at it!”

“Alright. I’ll be the seeker—so go hide!”

“Hehe. Tongtong is just gonna stick with Captain Taecho! Then I won’t get caught.”

“Yes, Captain Taecho!”

Sejun played hide-and-seek with the children.

A moment later—

“Found you, Taecho!”

Sejun found Taecho first.

“Waaah! I hate you, Dad!”

Taecho burst into tears. Her pride as Captain Taecho had been shattered in front of Tongtong.

“Wha?! Taecho, why are you crying?”

Sejun, planning to use Taecho as a decoy to find the others, quickly picked her up and tried to calm her down.

Just then—

Thud.

Something fell from the sky.

“Ew! A gross pig!”

“A tasteless pig!”

“Let’s punish the gross pig!”

“Yeah!”

The excited kids ran out and began hitting Yuren.

Guik—!

Yuren screamed as he was beaten. It was the perfect misfortunate entrance for the King of Misfortune.

“Guys, hitting him won’t make him tasty.”

We’re gonna end up roasting a whole pig at this rate.

Sejun quickly stopped the children.

“It doesn’t?”

“Nope. Doesn’t help.”

“Okay.”

They obediently scattered at Sejun’s words.

“Iona, can you heal Yuren?”

“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. Sure. Oh power of magic, heal this unfortunate little piglet...”

At Sejun’s request, Iona chanted a long incantation—one tailored specifically for the ultra-unlucky Yuren.

As Yuren was treated—

“Piyot, you fell again?”

Piyot! Piyot!

[Yes! Fortunately, the snipers fell with me this time!]

“Mohahaha. Hello, Sejun-nim.”

Piyot, who had fallen with Yuren, chatted alongside Poyo.

“Baektang! Don’t move, nya!”

Kka-ooong...

Theo watched over Sejun’s lap, guarding Baektang with laser focus.

Queng!

Nyong-nyong!

Pop-pop!

Tweet-tweet!

The other snipers—Cheongnyong, Heukbook, and Jeokbi—ran excitedly around with Queng.

Then—

Kkihihit. Kking!

[Hihit. Junior! It’s been a while!]

“Greetings to the great Captain Kkamang!”

Kkamang exchanged greetings with Gold, one of the Four Heavenly Kings who served the God of Destruction, Ditto.

While everyone was chatting—

“Uhehehe. Hello. Got anything to eat?”

Yuren, now fully recovered, looked for food with his usual dopey smile.

“Hold on a sec.”

Sejun quickly began cooking. Although Yuren’s own misfortune was mostly to blame for his injuries, Sejun still felt bad that the kids had hit him.

“Uhehehe. Thank you for the meal!”

Just as Yuren was about to eat—

[A quest has been generated.]

[Quest: If you want to eat Chairman Park Sejun’s cooking, please deposit 10 million Tower Coins to account 318-34-13 at Eoksam Bank.]

Reward: A pig with a conscience

A message popped up.

Uhehehe. So I’m a conscientious pig now?

Yuren, ever the easy mark, fell for the phishing scam and sent 10 million Tower Coins to [SYSTEM Eoksamchiri].

Hehehe. Yes!

Eoksamchiri celebrated, having just used Yuren to cover a portion of Sejun’s growing debt.
