Solo Farming In The Tower-Chapter 690: Damn. I’m Jealous.
Black Tower, 75th Floor.
“Vice Chairman Theo, here it is.”
Mason, who had only bought 30 million Tower Coins worth of invitations due to the shortage of funds in the Nomadic Merchant Association, handed over the 30 trillion Tower Coins to Theo.
Since there were too few tokens, only Pink Fur among Sejun, Umawang, and Pink Fur would be chosen for support.
“Hehehe. Mason, if you want the support of the great hybrid, Chairman Park, you’ll need to try harder... meow?!”
While receiving the money from Mason and encouraging him to try harder, Theo suddenly started looking around.
It seems Chairman Park is getting closer! And it's not upward, but downward!
This was because Sejun’s position had changed.
“Hehehe. It looks like Chairman Park personally went to sell to Wolbok!”
Theo was sure Sejun’s position was on the 55th floor of the tower, based on the readings from Sejun's knee sensor.
“Well then, let’s stop by the Mercenary Association and head to the Lizard Kingdom on the 70th floor!”
“Meep-meep-meep. Yes.”
With that, Theo and his group left the Nomadic Merchant Association headquarters and headed to the Free Mercenary Association headquarters.
By the way, the Free Mercenary Association headquarters was just two blocks away.
A short while later.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
Theo knocked on the door of the Free Mercenary Association President’s office.
But,
“Meow? Hannibal isn’t here, meow?!”
There was no one inside.
As soon as Hannibal heard the news that Theo had been robbed, he took on any request and fled.
However,
“Meep? Theo, it looks like Hannibal went to the 71st floor for a request. Since it’s on the way, we can just stop by there.”
Iona, who had looked at Hannibal's request log on his desk, found out where he had gone.
“Hehehe. Perfect! Then let’s head out quickly!”
Thus, Theo and his group began their descent through the tower.
A short while later.
“Meow?! It's Hannibal, meow!”
“Huh?!”
They found Hannibal, who had relaxed with his subordinates in the merchant passage, thinking he had successfully escaped.
“Hehehe. Hannibal, buy some invitations to our great hybrid, Chairman Park's birthday party! You can start with 100,000 invitations, specially for you, Hannibal!”
Theo’s irresistible sales pitch began.
Black Tower, 55th Floor.
Posa-bu, it’s over.
Sejun looked sadly at Pojji, who was hanging onto his father-in-law’s leg hairs.
Attacking your father-in-law...
To Sejun, this marriage was over.
He thought he would have to buy Pojji some liquor later.
Just as he was thinking about introducing Pojji to a new girlfriend while buying him drinks,
Beep.
[Dad, stop now.]
Lala stepped in and stopped her father Rauloro.
Beep! Beep?! Beep!
[What do you mean stop! Lala, didn’t you see?! This guy tried to kill me!]
Rauloro, still furious, yelled in anger.
Beep. Beep.
[You didn’t die, so it’s fine.]
Beep?! Beep?!
[No, what?! How can you say that to your father, who almost died?!]
Beep? Beep.
[Dad, can I tell Mom about your secret funds? I think I know the location.]
Beep.
[Then I’ll forgive your sin.]
Rauloro immediately calmed down at the mention of the secret funds.
However,
Squeak! Squeak!
[Thank you, father-in-law! I’ll work hard to live with Lala from now on!]
Beep?! Beep!
[When did I say I’d allow the marriage?! I’m forgiving you for trying to kill me!]
Rauloro got angry again at Pojji’s words.
And then,
Beep. Beep. Beep.
[Secret. Funds.]
Beep! Beep! Beep!
[No! Don’t tell your mother! Take care of my daughter well!]
Rauloro immediately switched his attitude 180 degrees at Lala’s words.
Although Sejun didn’t know how much secret funds Rauloro had, he understood how precious those secret funds were to him.
And just like that, Pojji and Lala’s marriage was decided in an instant.
“Wha...”
Pojji is getting married before me?!
Sejun was shocked to see Pojji’s marriage happening so quickly right before his eyes.
First, he realized that his judgment ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) as a relationship expert was wrong.
Then, he realized that marriage actually happened in this atmosphere.
Finally...
No way! The 300-year-old virgin is getting discharged!
Sejun was stunned that Pojji, who was practically assigned to the “Single Corps” forever, had discharged without any romance and was getting married immediately.
It was happening too fast!
If you’re jealous, you lose...
“Damn. I’m jealous.”
Sejun couldn’t hide his jealousy.
And thus, Sejun’s face started to rot.
Queng! Queng!
[Dad’s face got the ugliest it’s ever been! Hurry up and fix his face!]
Hee-hee! Snicker! Snicker!
[Hee-hee! Butler, his face is rotting! Let’s step on it!]
Queng and Kkamang immediately rushed to Sejun’s face and stomped on it wildly.
Thus, Sejun snapped out of his shock, being stomped on.
“Well then, let’s eat first.”
Beep! Beep!
[Prepare the meal! Uncle, follow me!]
With the guidance of Heukwolbok, Sejun and his group headed to the dining hall.
Farming School.
“Heh. If it’s true, how could these kids have been living deceived all this time? This old man personally taught farming to Chairman Park of Sejun Company. And I was the first founding member of Sejun Company, you know?”
“Grandpa, you’re lying again.”
“Grandpa, you’re lying to us again, aren’t you?”
“You said last time that we could eat 100 carrots, but we didn’t get to eat them all!”
“And you said if we didn’t listen, Uncle Theo would come, but that was a lie too, wasn’t it?!”
“We know everything!”
“Liar!”
Molgang was being ignored by the baby bunnies once again.
He enjoyed teasing the baby bunnies so much that he often told lies, and now it had come back as a boomerang, leaving him as an untrustworthy shepherd who no one believed, no matter what he said.
Unfortunately, the baby bunnies Sejun had met in the past had already graduated, so no one could verify Molgang’s words.
Well, there was one person who could, but...
“Dear...”
“Hmph!”
Mollha didn’t help. She wasn’t happy that Molgang hadn’t listed her as the first founding member.
The couple was supposed to be united, and being treated as the second member didn’t sit well with her.
At that moment,
Swish.
A black rabbit suddenly appeared in front of Molgang.
“Molgang, Sejun has arrived at White Castle.”
The black rabbit, who was part of the guard team protecting Molgang and Mollha, was the one bringing royal news.
And then,
“What?! Sejun is here?!”
Molgang, thrilled by the news of Sejun’s arrival, became emboldened.
“Hold on, guys! Sejun is coming and will shout ‘Roar!’ and catch the bad bunnies!”
Molgang started yelling at the baby bunnies again with confidence.
But,
“Hehe. Grandpa, I don’t believe you anymore!”
“Eww.”
He had completely lost the baby bunnies’ trust, so nothing he said was effective anymore.
Sejun, hurry up and come here and shout ‘Roar!’
Molgang thought that once Sejun arrived, all the distrust would disappear.
“Well then, let’s plant the carrots.”
“Liar!”
“We don’t believe you!”
“Heh. This time, it’s for real.”
“Yokki won’t be fooled!”
“Yokki, I swear it’s true! Look, Grandpa is planting carrots!”
Starting a tough lesson with the baby bunnies who wouldn’t believe him.
****
White Castle Restaurant.
Squeak...
[Lala, dear...]
Pojji, with a face that seemed to be on the verge of happiness and death, refused to leave Lala's arms.
Since they were about to get married, Sejun thought there shouldn’t be any problem, but...
“Ahem. Posa-bu, mind your manners. The King of the Red Ribbon, Heukwolbok, is also here. This is disrespectful.”
Beep! Beep.
[The words of the Great Hybrid Black Dragon are correct! Posa-bu, keep your dignity.]
Pojji, thoroughly displeased, glared at Sejun and Rauloro, who were looking at him with burning eyes.
“Lala’s father, we get along well, don’t we?”
Sejun extended his fist toward Rauloro.
Beep.
[Great Hybrid Black Dragon, it is an honor.]
Rauloro, with a humble expression, carefully bumped his fluffy white paw into Sejun’s fist.
While the conversation was happening, food was served, and they continued talking while eating.
“Posa-bu, so when are you getting married?”
Squeak!
[Right now!]
“So soon? Isn’t that too fast?”
Sejun shook his head at Pojji’s response.
Beep!
[To send my daughter to such an impulsive and indecisive man?!]
Rauloro was furious.
Squeak?
[Then, a month later?]
Pojji, glancing at Rauloro, changed his answer.
“That’s too late.”
Sejun again shook his head at Pojji’s reply.
Beep!
[To send my daughter to such a weak and indecisive man?!]
Rauloro was furious again.
What now?!
Pojji was confused about which beat to follow.
Heh-heh, serves him right.
It was amusing to tease him.
Sejun and Rauloro both secretly enjoyed the situation. They just didn’t like the idea of Pojji and Lala getting married, so they were messing with Pojji.
While Pojji was still unsure about the wedding date, trying to figure out Rauloro’s mood,
Bang!
[Just do it on my birthday!]
Heukwolbok decided the wedding date.
If it's Heukwolbok's birthday...
“My birthday?”
Queng?!
[It’s Queng's birthday?!]
Snicker?
[The Great Kkamang's birthday?]
Since it was the same day, it didn’t matter much who’s birthday it was, but the group started arguing over whose birthday it was.
“Alright. Let’s do that. We’ll have the wedding on the 99th floor along with the birthday party.”
After thinking about it, Sejun agreed, thinking it would save him the trouble of doing everything twice.
However, he never expected that the hamsters from Hamk would flock in like clouds for the wedding.
The number of party guests continued to grow.
A little later.
After finishing the meal,
“But, will we have enough ingredients?”
Clink.
Sejun opened his spacial storage to check if there were enough materials for the party.
He had used most of the ingredients for the dragons’ conference.
He initially thought there would be no problem with his planned 10,000 party guests, but with the wedding guests added in, it seemed he’d need to recalculate.
“For a wedding, noodles and steak are a must, so...”
As Sejun checked the ingredients,
“There really isn’t much.”
There was no slime meat, and the other ingredients were also running low.
“We need to start with slimes. Queng, let’s go catch some slimes.”
Queng!
[Got it!]
They entered the slime room.
Queng! freewebnσvel.cøm
With one punch from Queng, they caught the necessary amount of slimes.
[Black Tower’s Senior Herbologist Park Queng has defeated the Fifth Calamity, the Gold Slime.]
[Park Queng has earned 1.5 trillion experience, which is 50% of the total.]
[Due to the effect of <Alias: Master of the Calamity Farm>, an additional 3 trillion experience has been earned.]
...
..
.
[Congratulations.]
[Level-up!]
[You have gained 10 bonus stats.]
[Strength has increased by 30.]
[Strength potential increased by 1%.]
[Congratulations.]
[Level-up!]
...
..
.
Sejun’s level increased by 2, reaching level 193.
Once the slime meat was secured,
Clink.
Sejun opened the vault room to check its contents. Though he knew it was empty, he still felt compelled to open it, much like opening a fridge.
And then,
“Wow. Why is there so much money?!”
Sejun grinned, seeing Tower Coins and wealth stacked throughout the room.
“Heh-heh. It seems Vice Chairman Theo sold the invitations at a ridiculously high price.”
Yeah, as the Black Tower Farmer, I, Park Sejun, demand this much for my cooking.
Sejun, feeling proud, was about to bask in his success when suddenly,
Shwoooosh.
A huge amount of wealth started filling the vault.
Shwoooosh.
It kept filling.
Why is the money still increasing?
Sejun’s face froze as something felt off.
Shwoooosh.
Even at that moment, the money kept increasing, without stopping.
Something’s wrong...
Even though I don’t know how much the invitations are being sold for, this is not right. It’s strange.
And,
There’s no way this amount is from selling just 10,000 invitations.
Sejun was sure.
‘Theo, you idiot! I told you to sell only 10,000!’
Theo was clearly causing a mess.
“Aileen, please hold onto this money.”
Sejun entrusted the money from the vault to Aileen. If he left it in the vault, one of the three Park brothers would likely burn it all.
[The Tower Administrator assures you that no one will touch your money.]
“Okay. I’ll take care of it.”
With that, Sejun entrusted the vault’s wealth to Aileen.
“Queng, Kkamang, let’s go catch the big brother!”
Queng!
Squeak!
They quickly headed out to catch Theo, who had caused the mess. Even though over 100 million invitations had already been sold, it didn’t seem like it would matter much.
And then,
Sejun, when will you be here? Are you coming after lunch and dessert?
Molgang waited anxiously at the entrance of the farming school, expecting Sejun to show up but knowing he wouldn’t.
