Solo Farming In The Tower-Chapter 684: Vice Chairman Theo is Banned from Laps for One Hour

“Hiren, kids, take care. Your handsome big brother is leaving.”

“Puhuhu. Full-time employees, don’t slack off and keep working hard, nyang!”

“Kyu kyu kyu. Hiren, next time we meet, let’s have a discussion about magic.”

Kuhehehe. Queng!

[Hehehe. It’d be great to go treasure hunting with Queng again, nyo!]

Kihihi. Squeak!

[Hehe. You’re all subordinates of the great Kamang now, so if anyone bullies you, just mention the great Kamang’s name!]

Having secured the hidden treasures of Eryon Castle and the Baby Doll Polygonum, Sejun and his group bid farewell to Hiren and the children before stepping through the portal connected to the 99th floor of the Black Tower.

Meanwhile...

“Mom, do you need help?”

“Me!”

“I’ll help too!”

“Mom! Pahna is strong!”

With the children’s assistance, Hiren began cleaning out the prison and building a spacious home outside the castle where they could all live together.

“Arrived.”

The moment Sejun and his group returned to the Black Tower,

Moo.

[You’ve returned.]

Kuong.

[That’s a relief.]

Waiting by the portal were the Minotaur King, the Black Minotaurs, Pink Fur, Torong, Sweetie and the Poison Bees, and the Mushroom Ants.

News of Bat-Bat’s disappearance had spread across the 99th floor, and everyone had anxiously gathered at the portal, praying for its safe return.

(Baheh... Sorry for making you worry. And thank you.)

Bat-Bat, perched on Sejun’s left shoulder, emerged and expressed its gratitude to everyone.

“Guys, thanks for worrying about Bat-Bat. Since we’re all here, let’s have a meal together.”

In appreciation, Sejun prepared a feast.

For the Minotaur King and the Black Minotaurs, he made fresh grass porridge. For Pink Fur, he prepared choco pies.

“Grow abundantly!”

For Torong, he provided top-grade soil.

Bzzz. Bzzz.

[This is nice. I’m happy.]

Sweetie, who only ate honey and pollen, was satisfied with receiving Sejun’s pats, while the Poison Bees were content as long as their queen was happy.

I’ll go to Tartarus and gather useful information for Sejun.

Sweetie recalled the information she had obtained from Herr:

Tartarus contained a special prison for high-level criminals. Among them was Rascal, the God of Thieves, who had stolen an immense treasure before being captured.

This revelation had cost Herr 50 billion in divine power as a penalty for revealing celestial secrets.

But...

“Hyehahaha! Take what you want! I only have Sejun Company welfare points!”

Herr had nothing to lose, so she had freely spilled the information.

Considering that Herr had lost 10 billion for revealing Torong’s existence in the past, the weight of the secret Sweetie had acquired was evident.

Meanwhile, the Mushroom Ants had no special requests for food. They simply enjoyed the atmosphere, happily nibbling on the mushrooms growing on each other’s backs.

As the meal progressed, night deepened, and the residents of the 99th floor began to return to their quarters.

At that moment...

[The Tower Administrator announces that Blue Moon will begin at midnight.]

Eilin reminded everyone that tomorrow was the night of the Blue Moon.

“Oh. It’s already time for the Blue Moon. Thanks for the reminder, Eilin. Guys, wait a moment!”

Sejun hurriedly called back his departing companions. He needed extra hands for the Blue Moon harvest.

Assigning Tasks for the Blue Moon Harvest

“You guys, take care of the cornfield.”

“You guys, handle the potato field.”

Sejun assigned roles, positioning the farm residents so they could harvest the special Blue Moon crops as soon as they appeared.

Then, he took the Baby Doll Polygonum and planted it in the land where the other baby elixirs were growing.

To maximize the absorption of Blue Moon’s energy, Sejun carefully spread magic-infused blueberries across the ground.

These blueberries could absorb Blue Moon’s energy up to three times, granting special effects.

At Sejun’s current level, these effects weren’t particularly impactful, but...

“Hehehe. It’s going to taste even better.”

More importantly, they would enhance flavor.

While Ajax’s spirit-infused cherry tomatoes could produce similar effects, those had been completely bought out by parent dragons to feed their baby dragons. As a result, Sejun hadn’t been able to gather enough for a Blue Moon effect.

For reference:

S-rank elixir-grade cherry tomatoes increased magic power by 50.SS-rank ones increased it by 100.

“Hiren, kids, take care. Your handsome big brother is leaving.”

“Puhuhu. Full-time employees, don’t slack off and keep working hard, nyang!”

“Kyu kyu kyu. Hiren, next time we meet, let’s have a discussion about magic.”

Kuhehehe. Queng!

[Hehehe. It’d be great to go treasure hunting with Queng again, nyo!]

Kihihi. Squeak!

For reference:

S-rank elixir-grade cherry tomatoes increased magic power by 50.SS-rank ones increased it by 100.

After finishing with the blueberries, Sejun moved on to carrots, using well-ripened SS-grade ones that he had harvested earlier.

With all preparations complete...

Slurp.

“Ahh, this is good.”

Sejun enjoyed a cup of coffee poured by Queng while waiting for the Blue Moon to rise.

Moments later...

“It’s up.”

The 23rd Blue Moon since Sejun had entered the Tower appeared, bathing the land in a mystical blue glow.

Squeak!

Squeak!

Bawk!

Three Moon Rabbits—Wolgwang, Wolha, and Heukwolbok—arrived with their signature Blue Moon Jump.

Byu-byu!

Baaawk!

This time, Byubyu and Heuktochi accompanied them.

The power of Luna, the God of Moonlight, had grown as her influence expanded in the Red Ribbon Kingdom, allowing her to appoint more Moon Rabbits. Byubyu and Heuktochi were among the newly appointed ones.

“Hey, guys, long time no see. Oh, except for Wolbok.”

Since Heukwolbok had recently traveled to Earth with Sejun, it had only been three days since their last meeting.

Squeak! Squeak!

[Sejun, it’s been a while! Please visit the 55th floor soon!]

Wolgwang wanted Sejun’s help in reestablishing his grandfatherly authority, as the young ones had stopped listening again.

Squeak. Squeak.

[You don’t need to visit. That’ll just spoil them even more.]

Wolha, glaring at Wolgwang, objected.

But...

Understood. I’ll go.

Thank you.

Sejun and Wolgwang had already exchanged glances, sealing the deal.

As Sejun chatted with Wolgwang and Wolha...

Bawk?

[Has everyone been well?]

Baaawk!

[Hello, uncles!]

“Puhuhu. Wolbok, we see you too often, nyang! Heuktochi, how have you been, nyang?! Uncle Theo is here, nyang!”

Queng! Queng!

[Heuktochi, good to see you, nyo! Uncle Queng is here, nyo!]

(Bat-Bat. Tochi, should Uncle Bat-Bat sing for you?)

Kihihi. Squeak?!

[Hehe. Tochi, do you want to play with the great Kamang uncle?!]

Theo, Queng, Bat-Bat, and the Kamang family excitedly conversed with Heukwolbok and Heuktochi.

Meanwhile...

“Byu-! Byubyu, why is your magic the same as last time?! You’ve gotten lazy because I haven’t given you assignments!”

Byubyu.

[Master, I’m sorry.]

Iona immediately scolded Byubyu upon their reunion.

“Go, sister-in-law! You got this!”

From a distance, Heukwolbok cheered on Iona. He knew that if she gave Byubyu more assignments, it would keep him too busy to slack off.

While Sejun’s group chattered excitedly with the Moon Rabbits...

Swish.

The crops, absorbing the energy of the Blue Moon, turned a deep blue.

Moo!

Bzzz!

Kehhh!

The farm residents eagerly began harvesting the enhanced crops.

“Let’s work, too.”

Sejun and his group joined in the harvest.

Moments later...

“Great job, everyone.”

With the harvest completed...

Squeak!

Squeak!

Bawk!

Byubyu!

Baaawk!

The rabbits took the SS-grade carrots Sejun had given them and hopped away, while the farm residents retired for the night.

Moo?

[Pink Fur, how about early morning training?]

Kuong.

[Sounds good.]

The Minotaur King and Pink Fur headed off to train.

With everyone else gone, Sejun and his companions settled into bed.

“Let’s get some rest. Queng, you’re happy to sleep with Dad, right?”

Kuhehehe. Queng!

[Hehehe. Yes, nyo!]

“Hehehe. Dad’s happy too.”

Sejun hugged Queng tightly.

Honestly, it seemed like Sejun enjoyed sleeping with Queng even more than Queng enjoyed sleeping with him.

Snoring filled the room.

Kuhhh.

Gororong.

Kkyu-rorong.

Kku-rorong.

Kkiro-long.

As the night deepened, everyone fell into a peaceful slumber.

Meanwhile, Kamang, sleeping soundly, had two World Auras in its mouth.

(Bahehehe. Tonight’s a Blue Moon. That’s why the Moon Rabbits came to play~)

Bat-Bat cheerfully sang a newly composed song, supporting Sejun and his companions in their dreams.

Inside Kamang’s Mental World

"Guys, eat this and forgive my family, okay?"

"Puhuhu. Try this grilled fish, nyang! It was cooked by the great Hybrid Chairman Park, so it’s delicious, nyang!"

"Kyu kyu kyu. We have roasted peanuts too."

"Hehehe. And rice cakes dipped in honey, nyo!"

Sejun and his group were helping Kamang’s family apologize.

"We’re really sorry."

"Sorry..."

Kamang’s family earnestly bowed their heads in remorse.

"It’s okay. We forgive you."

"We forgive you."

Just as the spirits accepted their apology...

Gururuk.

Three separate Manifestations of Corruption appeared at once.

Because Kamang was purifying two World Auras simultaneously, the Corruption was surfacing more frequently—and in greater numbers.

"Puhuhu. They’re here. Vice Chairman Theo, fusion! Seo Beam!"

"Puhuhu. Understood, nyang!"

Theo immediately latched onto Sejun’s temple, activating their combination attack.

"Vice Chairman Theo, use a little less money this time."

"Puhuhu. I got it, nyang!"

"Here we go! Seo Beam!"

"Nyang!"

Sejun and Theo unleashed Seo Beam, directly striking the Corruptions.

Fwoosh!

The Corruptions were instantly incinerated, leaving them no chance to utter any ominous last words before vanishing completely.

[You have defeated enemies using Seo Beam.]

[You have earned 100 billion Top Coins.]

Thanks to Seo Beam’s name-imbued special effects, Sejun received money as a reward.

"Hehehe. We made money. Vice Chairman Theo, how much did you burn?"

Having just earned 300 billion Top Coins, Sejun turned to Theo to calculate the total profit.

"Puhuhu. I burned 10 million Top Coins, nyang! Didn’t I do great?!"

Theo puffed up with pride, thinking he had been frugal.

But...

"What?! That’s way too much! From now on, only burn 10,000 Top Coins at a time."

Sejun was even more stingy than Theo had expected.

"Nyang?! But that’s not even enough to feel the thrill of burning, nyang!"

"What thrill?! Money isn’t meant to be burned for fun! Saving is what leads to wealth!"

"I refuse! I demand the right to enjoy burning money, nyang!"

As Sejun and Theo bickered...

A certain someone watched with envy.

The Gigantic Park Chairman No. 3 longingly gazed at Sejun, jealous that he could perform combination attacks with Theo.

Just then...

Fwoosh!

"Queng! Queng!"

[Dad, look at this, nyo! Queng can burn Dad’s money now too, nyo!]

Following Theo’s technique, Queng displayed its glowing front paw, grinning proudly.

Kihihi. Squeak!

[Hehe. Master! The great Kamang can burn your money too!]

Fwoosh!

Kamang joined in, setting Sejun’s money ablaze.

Unlike Theo, however, Kamang’s tail glowed instead of its front paws.

Moreover, the effects of burning money were different.

Queng’s magic and telekinetic power increased.Kamang... gained absolutely nothing.

"Hey! Park Kamang! Why are you burning my money when you don’t even get anything from it?!"

Kamang had no special abilities—just a pure talent for setting Sejun’s money on fire.

And thus, the Park Family’s Three Siblings all gained the ability to burn Sejun’s wealth.

Sigh.

"I need to store my money with Eilin before they burn through everything."

Sejun sighed and resolved to entrust his money to Eilin for safekeeping.

Then...

"Queng is banned from snacks for a day."

Queng?!

[Dad, nooo, nyo!]

"Kamang is on a diet meal plan."

Squeak?!

[Master, please! No! Squeak!]

To prevent further financial devastation, Sejun imposed punishments.

"Vice Chairman Theo is banned from my lap for an hour."

"Nyang?! Great Hybrid Chairman Park, I didn’t even do anything wrong! Why am I being punished, nyang?!"

"You’re the eldest. You need to set an example for your younger siblings."

That’s just how it is for the eldest sibling.

After disciplining the Park Family’s Three Money Burners, Sejun and his group resumed their task of apologizing to the spirits.

Later...

"Ugh."

Sejun woke up in the real world.

"Things are about to get busy."

"Nyang..."

"Queng..."

"Squeak..."

Glancing at Theo, Queng, and Kamang, Sejun steeled himself.

The Fifth Meeting of the Dragons at the Silver Tower was only a week away.
