Solo Farming In The Tower-Chapter 21Vol 2. : Welcome to the Kindergarten of Destruction! ()

[You have arrived on the 1st floor of the Green Tower.]

Sejun and his group exited the portal into the residential area of the Green Tower’s first floor.

Sniff sniff.

Queng?!

[There’s no scent, da yo?!]

Queng, ready to track the honey thief, was baffled to find the culprit’s scent completely missing.

At that moment—

“Oh?! It’s Chairman Park!”

“Vice Chairman Theo is here too!”

A group of young Ururu tribe children who had just stepped out of their homes spotted Sejun and his companions and came rushing over.

Little green furballs formed a wave of fuzz as they approached.

“Hello, Chairman Park!”

“Hello, Vice Chairman Theo!”

“Hello to all the executives!”

They circled the group and greeted them politely.

“Hehehe. Hello.”

“Puhuhut. Nice to see you, nya!”

Their soft green fur made for an especially pleasant welcome.

As they exchanged greetings—

“Puhuhut. Little Ururus, have any of you smelled something suspiciously poopy around here, nya?”

Theo questioned the children.

“Poop smell?!”

“Yes!”

“But we cleaned it really hard, so now it’s gone!”

“The smell was so bad we cleaned nonstop for two days! Did you smell it too, Vice Chairman Theo?!”

“Puhuhut. I did, nya! But it was still weaker than the scent of the great hybrid Chairman Park’s bowel movements, nya!”

That explained why Queng couldn’t track the scent. It had been wiped clean.

Well, it made sense. A stench like that in a residential zone would be unbearable.

“So where did you clean, exactly?”

“I know! I’ll show you!”

“I know too! This way!”

The Ururu kids argued over who would guide Sejun’s group.

“Don’t fight. Decide with rock-paper-scissors.”

Sejun suggested a fair method.

“Rock! Paper! Scissors!”

“Yay! I won! Follow me!”

The winner proudly took the lead, and the others trailed behind.

They walked for about an hour and arrived at—

“This burrow smelled so bad we had to seal the entrance!”

One of the kids raised a hand like a student answering a teacher.

“Queng, Iona, check inside.”

Queng!

“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. Understood.”

Following Sejun’s orders, Queng and Iona donned gas masks.

Boom!

They blasted open the entrance and went in.

While they investigated the burrow—

“How are your parents doing?”

Sejun asked about the Ururu tribe’s condition. He thought they were doing well, but problems could strike anytime.

“They’re doing great! You gave them a place to live and let them work in shops!”

“Mom and Dad smile every day now, so I’m happy too!”

“It’s all thanks to you and Vice Chairman Theo!”

“Hehehe.”

“Puhuhut.”

Sejun and Theo smiled warmly. Maybe Sejun had asked just to hear those answers.

“Any inconveniences?”

“Puhuhut. Speak freely, nya!”

“None at all!”

“Everything’s great!”

After confirming all was well—

“Thanks for the help. You can go now. Here—buy yourself something tasty.”

Sejun handed each child 1 Tower Coin as pocket money.

“Thank you!”

“Thanks a lot!”

The children scampered off happily.

Shortly after—

Queng! Queng!

[Dad, there’s lots of honey! I collected it all, da yo!]

Queng emerged from the burrow holding a jar of honey and ran excitedly to Sejun.

“Cleanse.”

Sejun removed the smell clinging to Queng’s body.

Click.

He opened the honey jar and handed it to Queng.

Kuhehehe.

Queng dipped her paw in and started licking the honey.

Meanwhile—

“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut.”

Inside the burrow, Iona had discovered traces of teleportation magic. She was analyzing the mana pattern and ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) extracting coordinates.

“Hm.”

If there’s still honey inside, the culprit might return...

“We’ll split up. Vice Chairman Theo, Iona—stay here and catch the culprit if they show up.”

Sejun left the two behind on purpose—to give them some alone time.

Sorry, Bat-Bat, but we can wake you to continue the trail. He could also track dimensional magic, even if not in the same way as Iona.

“Nya?! No way, nya! Take me with you!”

Completely missing Sejun’s intent, Theo started whining.

Thank you, Sejun-nim!

Iona, who had perked her ears the moment the team split idea came up, smiled brightly.

Moments later—

“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. I finished extracting the teleport coordinates. It was used multiple times. The most recent trace is from yesterday.”

Iona reported.

“Nya! Chairman Park, take me with you, nya!”

“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. Theo-nim, Sejun-nim said to stay here.”

“Yeah. Vice Chairman, just hold out for 6 hours, then rejoin us.”

“...Fine, nya.”

Sejun pacified Theo, leaving him and Iona alone.

Iona, enjoy your time.

Thank you, Sejun-nim.

Sejun winked and stepped through Iona’s portal, continuing the pursuit.

After he left, Theo set up camp a short distance from the burrow.

“Nya... without Chairman Park, I’ll have to use this!”

He pulled out Sejun’s knee blanket from his bundle and settled atop it, starting their stakeout.

Then—

“Puhuhut. Iona, want a snack, nya? I brought stir-fried peanuts just for you, nya!”

“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. Yes, please.”

And so they shared snacks. It was called a stakeout—but it felt more like a picnic.

Under the blue sky, a cool breeze gently rustled their fur.

***

[You have arrived on the 75th floor of the Black Tower.]

“Isn’t this the road to Granier Village?”

They had arrived midway between the merchant street and Granier Village.

Sniff sniff.

Queng!

[Dad, the honey thief’s scent continues this way, da yo!]

The trail led toward the merchant district.

“Let’s go.”

As they neared—

Queng!

[Dad, there it is!]

They stopped before a cave.

Inside, a honey badger lay asleep—probably resting for a night raid.

“Queng, catch it.”

Queng!

At Sejun’s command, Queng shot forward and—

WHACK!

Smashed the honey badger on the back of the head.

“Gwahk!”

It was instantly knocked out. After all that effort, the capture was shockingly anticlimactic.

“That was... too easy.”

What should we do until Theo and Iona arrive?

Sejun pondered.

Kihihit. Squeak!

[Hehe! Detective Kapang, on the case!]

Bonk.

Kkamang headbutted the unconscious honey badger. Even though it was caught, he wanted to extract a confession and find hidden honey—claiming the glory for himself.

While Kkamang interrogated the honey badger—

“Let’s go shopping. It’s been a while.”

Sejun gathered the unconscious Kkamang and the honey badger and headed to the merchant street.

Then—

“Huh? This one has a bounty?”

A wanted poster caught his eye. The bounty was 10 billion Tower Coins.

“Hehehe. Nice.”

To store the honey badger, Sejun headed to the Wandering Merchant Association HQ and found Jeras.

“S-Sejun-nim?!”

Jeras panicked upon seeing Sejun carrying the honey badger.

He had tried to quietly resolve the case without the great Black Dragon Sejun’s involvement—and now here he was, personally delivering the culprit.

“Jeras, I’ll be taking that bounty.”

“Ah! Yes! Right away!”

Jeras scrambled to pay Sejun.

“I’ll come back later with Theo for the stamp. Keep a close eye on it. Oh, it can use teleport magic, so be careful.”

“Yes!”

Even though Sejun warned him—

Kihihit. Squeak!

[Hehe! Detective Sherlock-Sejun, no worries! The great Detective Kapang already roughed up this Loony fellow so he won’t get any funny ideas!]

Kkamang declared with confidence. The real concern was the mental stability of the honey badger, Loony, at this point.

After handing off Loony, Sejun and his group wandered the shopping district.

But they quickly grew bored—nothing caught their interest.

Then—

“Oh, right! Guys, let’s check the lost item warehouse!”

Sejun remembered the storage room where Theo had once drawn a prize.

They headed to the Lost Item Storage managed by the Merchant Association and met the keeper, Taru.

“Who are you?”

Kihihit. Squeak! Squeak!

[Hehe! If you’re asking who I am, then I shall answer! I am the youngest of the Sejun family, noble wolf, and elite hunter of premium roasted sweet potato jerky—the great Kkamang-nim!]

Tiny Kkamang proudly declared.

“Ugh...”

Why is the embarrassment always mine?

Sejun lowered his head in shame. Kkamang had just proudly linked jerky with nobility.

But—

Why does this feel familiar...?

Taru stared at Kkamang with a sense of déjà vu.

Then—

“One draw costs 1,000 Tower Coins. You can only take one item.”

He offered them the same deal he had given Theo before and led them to the haunted warehouse.

Soon—

“Oh?! Taru-nim?”

Patton, keeper of the haunted storage, spotted Taru and ran up.

“Patton, long time.”

“What brings you here?”

“I’m here for the draw.”

“Understood. Please follow me.”

With a serious look, Patton led them inside.

Moments later—

“Hehehe. This is gonna be a jackpot.”

Kuhehehe. Queng!

[Hehehe. This one’s definitely good, da yo!]

Kihihit. Squeak!

[Hehe! I, the great Kkamang-nim, picked it—so it must be legendary!]

Each took one item from the draw.

“Eoksamchiri, analyze them.”

[Beginning analysis.]

System Eoksamchiri assessed the items.

[Analysis complete.]

[So worthless they’re not even worth a description.]

[A worthless wooden bird carving (F)]

[A rotten-handled axe (F)]

[Just a rock (F-)]

Sejun, Queng, and Kkamang had all drawn complete trash. Their bad-luck hands had been confirmed.

“Meh. Boring. Let’s go.”

Queng! Queng!

[Yeah, this was boring, da yo!]

Grrr! Squeak! Squeak!

[Raaah! No way! There’s no way the item I, the great Kkamang-nim, chose is the lowest grade!]

As Sejun’s group left with pitiful loot—

Phew. That was close.

Who are those people?!

Everyone but the human is radiating overwhelming energy...

Inside the haunted storage, the spirits trembled. Just being near Queng and Kkamang’s family had nearly wiped them out.

Then—

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

“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. I’m here too!”

After six hours of cozy alone time, Theo and Iona returned to Sejun’s side.
