Solo Farming In The Tower-Chapter 702: Making Such a Cute Face Should Be Against the Rules

Green Tower, 37th Floor.

“Puhuhut. Sold out, nya! Then see you next time, nya!”

I miss Chairman Park, nya!

Today too, after selling out all of Sejun’s crops, Theo hurried to get ready to leave.

“Kyut-kyut-kyut. Lord Theo, thank you for your hard work. I’ll help you pack.”

Iona, who had been resting comfortably against Theo’s fluffy tail, helped Theo prepare.

At that moment—

“We can’t let him leave like this!”

“Hand over the Confession Carrot!”

“Yeah! I need the Confession Carrot to propose to Jenny tomorrow!”

Several solo merchants, unable to give up on the Confession Carrot, surrounded Theo.

They knew how strong Theo was, but they thought that if they surrounded him in numbers, they could put some psychological pressure on him.

Of course, their plan was to immediately run away if he hit them.

And then—

“Kyuu-kyuu-kyuu-what is this? It’s time for our Lord Theo to go home!”

Iona, realizing their scheme, spoke up with an uncomfortable expression, entering the third stage of Kyuu Rage.

However—

“Who’s supposed to be scared by that sound?!”

This was the Green Tower.

The legend of Iona, the Great Destroyer Mage, had not been passed down here.

But class is eternal.

And a legend is called a legend for a reason.

“Kyuu-kyuu-kyuu—Power of the Meteor...”

Iona didn’t explain with words what the third stage of Kyuu Rage was — she showed it with results.

KWA-GWAGWANG!

With Iona’s Meteor spell, an entire massive mountain nearby disappeared, replaced by a gigantic crater.

KWALKWALKWALKWALK.

Groundwater gushed up from the crater floor, and the massive pit quickly turned into a lake.

“Hiccup!”

“Hiiiek!”

The solo merchants, utterly shocked by Iona’s magic, instinctively backed away like the parting of the sea, clearing a path.

And so, the legend of Iona, the Great Destroyer Mage, began to spread through the Green Tower.

“Puhuhut. Don’t be too disappointed, nya. Bring lots of money next time if you want to buy, nya.”

Theo patted the terrified merchants on the shoulders and slipped into the pack of the Wandering Merchant of the Nine Towers.

“Kyuu—Be careful.”

After giving a final warning, Iona also disappeared, using dimensional travel magic.

Black Tower, 99th Floor.

“Puhuhut. I want to see Chairman Park as soon as possible, nya!”

Theo, who had arrived at the Black Tower’s 99th floor through the pack, held back his excitement to see Sejun and waited for a moment.

“Kyut-kyut-kyut.”

When Iona arrived through dimensional travel magic—

“Iona, let’s go, nya!”

“Kyut-kyut-kyut! Yes!”

Theo gathered Iona and moved to the Nyangnyangbo.

And then—

“Puhuhut. The great hybrid, Chairman Park, I have returned, nya!”

“Kyut-kyut-kyut. I’m here too!”

They clung to Sejun’s face, announcing their arrival.

“Yeah. Good work.”

Sejun greeted Theo and Iona with a slightly subdued voice.

“Kyut-kyut-kyut.” ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Iona didn’t sense anything unusual.

But—

“Nya?! Chairman Park, what happened, nya?! Did someone make you mad, nya?!”

Theo, extremely sensitive when it came to Sejun, instantly realized that Sejun was upset.

In truth, it was closer to Sejun being sulky than angry, but Theo instinctively chose a different word, knowing that if he said "sulky," Sejun would get even sulkier.

“Vice Chairman Teo...”

“Nya?! Seriously, nya?! The gods at the Seed Shop Headquarters didn’t open the Seed Shop for our great hybrid Chairman Park, nya?!”

Thanks to that, Theo quickly learned why Sejun was upset.

“Hiss! Chairman Park, let’s impeach them all, nya!”

Theo, furious, immediately called for impeachment.

“Let’s hear the full story first.”

Since this was a fairly serious matter, Sejun didn’t reject the idea outright.

Depending on what he heard, he was willing to consider impeachment.

“Vice Chairman Teo, get Herr and have him connect us to Lady Lea.”

“Got it, nya! Herr, come out, nya!”

Thus, Theo summoned Herr to ask about why the Seed Shop wasn’t opened.

And—

[The God of Trade, Herr, says to just tell him what you need.]

Herr, thinking Theo was about to give him a quest, answered eagerly.

But—

“Not today, nya! Our Chairman Park wants to talk to Lady Lea, nya! Please deliver his words to Lady Lea, nya!”

A disappointing response for Herr.

However—

[A designated quest has been created by Vice Chairman Park Theo of Sejun Company.]

[The designated target is the God of Trade, Herr.]

The [System SJC] turned even this into a quest.

Anything that came out of Sejun and Theo’s mouths — Chairman and Vice Chairman of Sejun Company — became a quest according to [System SJC].

“Nice!”

Herr, having received a quest, excitedly ran to Lea’s house—

Thunk. Thunk.

He knocked on the door.

Creak.

“Herr, what’s going on? Today’s not a seed delivery day.”

Lea opened the door, puzzled.

Through the door, the still-unfinished Seed of Abundance could be seen.

“I came because God Sejun has something to say.”

“God Sejun?!”

At Herr’s words, Lea immediately straightened her clothes, even though Sejun wasn’t right in front of her.

And then—

“What did God Sejun say? Hurry up and tell me.”

“Um. God Sejun said... uh...”

Herr couldn’t properly deliver Sejun’s message.

No, he couldn’t.

Why hasn’t the Seed Shop opened?

Because the reason Sejun was confronting Lea lay with Herr himself.

It was Herr who had persuaded Lea and the other Seed Shop executives to send transcendent-level seeds, elixirs, and regular seeds to Sejun — and it was Herr who had hidden that fact from Theo to skim a margin for himself.

What to do?

As Herr agonized—

“Herr, what did God Sejun say?”

Lea asked impatiently.

At that moment—

“Never mind. I’ll hear it myself.”

Lea descended directly to the Black Tower’s 99th floor.

Clatter, clatter.

“Finally arrived. Ah, I’m tired.”

Shuval the 18th, who had been ordered by Lea to climb the Tower after Lea noticed something odd about the number of seeds sprouting compared to the number Herr delivered, finally arrived at the Black Tower’s 99th floor.

Screeech!

Waiting for Shuval the 18th were four Mushroom Ants.

[4th Floor of Black Tower, Saint Ludwig Schruen Argon Walter the 18th: I’ll arrive at the 99th floor in about an hour — are there any Mushroom Ants who can give me a ride to Chairman Sejun’s house? I’ll pay 1 Tower Coin.]

They had been recruited ahead of time through the official staff communication network to prepare a flat wooden board and ferry Shuval the 18th.

Among the Mushroom Ants, there were even those who wanted to become wandering merchants like Theo.

They thought Sejun might just fund them if they asked, but their leader said they had to earn the money themselves to understand its value.

Thus, Mushroom Ant #83818 and their comrades took side jobs whenever an opportunity like this came up.

“You’re Mushroom Ant #83818, right?”

At Shuval the 18th’s question, Mushroom Ant #83818 wiggled his antennae up and down.

“Then, I’ll be in your care.”

Shuval the 18th sat comfortably on the wooden board carried by Mushroom Ant #83818 and the three other Mushroom Ants, making his way toward Sejun’s house.

Shortly after—

‘O God of Abundance, Lady Lea. I have arrived.’

As they approached Sejun’s house, Shuval the 18th reported his arrival to Lea.

[Greetings, Park Sejun.]

Lea descended.

Keeping up divine appearances, she didn’t use the chant "God Sejun" in front of him.

Thus, the three-way meeting between Sejun, Lea, and Herr began.

“What?! Lord Herr hogged all the seeds and that’s why the Seed Shop didn’t open?!”

[That’s right. Herr clearly said he would deliver the seeds to you, Park Sejun. I found it strange too, so through my child...]

The truth quickly came out.

And then—

“Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Lord Herr stole the seeds from our great hybrid Chairman Park, nya! It’s impeachment time, nya!”

Under Theo’s furious leadership, an impeachment vote began.

[Black Tower Luck Merchant Park Theo is attempting to impeach the God of Trade, Herr.]

[Slave merchants of the Black Tower — Mimir, Yuren, Zeto, Ninir, Machun, and Magin — automatically agree with Black Tower Merchant Park Theo’s opinion.]

[Slave merchants of the Green Tower — Turbo, Shark...]

[Slave merchants of the Golden Tower — Yuto, Marin...]

...

..

.

[The opinions of tower merchants are counted as two votes.]

During that ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) time, the number of merchants Theo had “gathered” totaled 17.

Considering the total number of merchants was 25, that meant nearly two-thirds were on Theo’s side.

It was already an overwhelming situation, not even needing to count the votes.

[Rolling the dice to determine the Luck Merchant’s vote.]

[The dice have numbers from 1 to 6.]

[Oops! Accidentally, an extra die has been rolled.]

Once again, Theo’s luck exploded.

[The first die rolled a 6.]

[The second die rolled a 6.]

[The Luck Merchant Park Theo’s opinion is counted as 12 votes.]

And so, Theo crushed the already-decided match with his ridiculous luck.

[Out of 50 total votes, 44 voted in favor of impeaching the God of Trade, Herr.]

[Since the majority voted in favor, the God of Trade, Herr, can be impeached.]

[Do you really want to impeach the God of Trade, Herr?]

“Yes, nya!”

This time, without any hesitation, Herr was really impeached.

“Nooo—!”

“What do you mean no?! How could you deceive us?!”

Herr, grabbed by the collar by Lea and being violently shaken, fell into despair.

Hing... I'm ruined!

Losing his divinity, he became nothing more than an overwhelmingly strong being without godhood.

At that moment—

[We would like to bestow the God of Trade’s divinity onto the Luck Merchant Park Theo, who initiated the impeachment.]

[Do you accept the God of Trade’s divinity?]

A message appeared before Theo.

Naturally, Theo’s answer was—

“No, nya!”

I’m staying with Chairman Park, nya!

It was a flat-out refusal.

Theo’s top priority was always Sejun.

If he became the God of Trade, he wouldn’t be able to stay with Sejun.

When Theo refused—

[We cannot leave the God of Trade’s position vacant.]

[We recommend temporarily impeaching Herr as God of Trade.]

[System 371] suggested a method where Herr would only be impeached for a limited time.

Though he couldn’t be personally impeached, [System 371] somehow sympathized too much with the situation.

“Puhuhut. Sounds good, nya!”

Theo accepted [System 371]’s suggestion and—

“Chairman Park, I impeached Herr, nya! But we need to decide how long to impeach him for, nya!”

He scampered over to Sejun and reported.

“What? You already impeached him?”

“Puhuhut. Of course, nya! Since he stole the great hybrid Chairman Park’s seeds, impeachment is only natural, nya!”

“But it seems like you can even set the impeachment period?”

“Puhuhut. That’s right, nya! Let’s impeach Herr for about a thousand years, nya!”

“That’s way too long. Let’s do a month. One month sounds good. Anyway, we can always impeach him again anytime. Hehehe.”

“Puhuhut. As expected, the great hybrid Chairman Park is so generous, nya! We'll impeach Herr for one month, nya!”

Thus, Herr’s impeachment period was decided.

[The God of Trade, Herr, loses his divinity for one month.]

A message popped up before Herr.

“Huh?! One month?! Thank you! Thank you so much!”

Thinking he would lose his divinity forever, Herr was overwhelmed with gratitude, bowing repeatedly toward where Theo was.

And then—

[Without divinity, Herr cannot stay at the Pawnshop of the God of Trade.]

[Moving to a temporary residence.]

Herr was kicked out of his pawnshop.

“Huh?! Herr?!”

“Oh. Hey, Patrick. Good to see you.”

Herr arrived at the 9th floor of the 10th Tower, where Patrick was staying, and the Pawnshop of the God of Trade went into temporary closure for one month.

“If you’re going to stay here, you’ll have to pay rent to Sejun.”

“Huh? Rent?”

Of course, only the pawnshop was on hiatus — Herr wasn’t going to get a break.

“Well then, I’ll be off.”

Shuval the 18th, who had brought down Lea, called for a Mushroom Ant taxi and departed.

“Let’s eat.”

Sejun and his group sat down for dinner.

Theo ate grilled fish, Iona had stir-fried peanuts, and—

Kuhehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehe. Even cold candied sweet potatoes are delicious, da yo!]

Kkihihit. Kking!

[Hihit. The great Kkamang is so happy!]

Kueng and Kkamang happily munched on candied sweet potatoes and roasted sweet potato jerky made from the leftover Supreme-Taste Royal Honey Sweet Potatoes from lunch.

The name "Supreme-Taste" was no exaggeration.

They were truly sweet and delicious.

After finishing dinner, Sejun chatted with his group until the sky darkened.

“I should get some sleep.”

He lay down and helped the Kkamang Family with their bedtime apologies.

A short while later—

Gururuk.

Corruption, in his grotesque form, appeared.

-Kehehe.

Today too, he made his scariest face, trying to frighten Sejun.

But—

“Making such a cute face should be against the rules.”

This Corruption guy... the more I see him, the more I like him.

He was the "grows on you" type.

Sejun had grown so attached that he could find cuteness even in Corruption’s grotesque appearance.

“Nya?!”

“Kyut?!”

“Kking?!”

Of course, the rest of the group couldn't agree with that at all.

And—

-What?! You think I’m... cute?! What kind of trick is this?! Why are you being nice to me?!

Rather, it was Corruption who got scared — terrified that Sejun was trying to give him false hope.
