Solo Farming In The Tower-Chapter 24Vol 2. : Welcome to the Kindergarten of Destruction! ()

<Earth>

After lunch—

“Whew. Why am I so exhausted today?”

Squeak...

[Butler... The Great Kkamang-nim is tired too...]

“Me too...”

Creak...

Shalala...

Unlike the rest of the group, only Sejun and the Kkamang Family had deep dark circles under their eyes from exhaustion.

Because all morning, they had unwillingly undergone special training by flipping tiles with the children.

Then—

Queng!

[Dad, drink some coffee and cheer /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ up, da yo!]

Queng brewed coffee and brought it to Sejun.

“Thanks.”

Slurp.

“Aah... that’s good.”

While Sejun drank his coffee to chase off the fatigue—

Queng!

[Kkamang-nim, drink this, da yo!]

Queng handed sweet potato milk to Kkamang.

Kkihihit. Queng!

[Hihit! Brother Queng! You’re the best!]

Lick, lick, lick.

Kkamang licked at the sweet potato milk with glee.

And so they spent a lazy, peaceful post-lunch moment.

“Puhuhut. I heard there’s a skilled grilled-fish husband here, nya! I, Magistrate Te, demand you hand over the fish husband! From now on, he’ll grill fish only for me, nya!”

“Magistrate Te, I cannot allow that. He is my husband.”

She called Sejun her husband.

“Hehe...”

Aileen, caught up in the lines, couldn’t help but giggle in delight.

Sejun and the group were rehearsing for a play based on the tale of The Snail Bride. With the kids taking their naps, it was the perfect time to practice.

“Then I refuse your refusal, nya! Let’s make it a wager for the fish husband!”

“Very well. I accept your challenge.”

“Puhuhut. Good, nya! We’ll play three rounds, and whoever wins two first gets the fish husband, nya! Hmm... Iona Deputy, what should the first challenge be?”

“(Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. Since the rainy season is coming, it’d be wise to plant trees on a barren mountain. That way Magistrate Te will get promoted.) Magistrate, I propose a tree-planting contest on a barren mountain.”

“Secretly in love with Magistrate Te, the capable subordinate Deputy Iona suggested a contest to plant trees, thinking of his success.”

The script differed slightly from the original story, but that’s showbiz—change the director, and you get a completely different production.

“Puhuhut. Sounds good, nya! Then tomorrow, we’ll compete to see who can plant more trees, nya!”

“Agreed. See you tomorrow.”

“And so, the farmer who had agreed to a wager with Magistrate Te returned home and recounted the events to the fish husband. Ahem. Don’t worry—I’ll help.”

Sejun lowered his voice as he narrated and acted the fish husband.

“Thanks.”

Sejun and Aileen exchanged a warm smile as their eyes met.

“....”

Oops. Got distracted.

Sejun quickly snapped out of admiring Aileen’s beauty.

“And so, night passed and the wager began.”

Thud.

With his narration, he activated the “Earth Move” skill embedded in the hoe from Myler and struck the ground.

Kugugung.

A hill of dirt rose tall into the air.

“Puhuhut. The farmer came alone, nya?! I, Magistrate Te, have many subordinates at my disposal!”

Theo recited his lines with a laugh. Though no one stood behind him now, the plan was to bring rabbits from the tower to act as extras during the actual play.

Of course, Theo was perfect for a villain role.

Sejun smiled in satisfaction, watching Theo play the evil part so naturally. No matter what he did, he came across as sly and shady.

Feeling pleased by Theo’s performance, Sejun didn’t realize he had the same sneaky grin on his own face. In the end, it was a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

“Let’s just say the fish husband won the first round for now.”

Planting real trees on a mountain would’ve been a pain to clean up.

Kugugung.

Sejun restored the land and spoke.

Just then—

[A quest has appeared.]

[Quest: Please find the Child of Creation Tainted by Destruction who has fallen behind in <Aidar> and bring them to the Kindergarten of Destruction.]

Reward: +5% capacity to the Brilliant Earrings of Darkness, +5% evolution EXP to <Earth Lv. 3>

A quest message appeared before Sejun.

“Let’s stop here for today.”

The kids would be waking up soon anyway, so Sejun ended rehearsal.

“Aileen, I’m going to pick up a new student.”

“Okay. Be careful.”

After chatting with Aileen—

“All right. Let’s go, everyone.”

He set off for the Black Tower with the group.

***

[You have arrived at the 1st Floor of the Black Tower.]

When Sejun reached the tower’s ground floor—

[The tower’s administrator sounds disappointed, saying you haven’t been visiting the 99th floor lately.]

Kaiser spoke up.

“Ah, Kaiser-nim. Sorry. I’ll be quick.”

Sejun apologized and said,

“Bat-Bat, sorry to wake you, but can you open a dimensional portal to <Aidar>?”

He gently woke Bat-Bat.

(Bat-Bat... yes.)

Fwoosh.

Bat-Bat, still half-asleep, quickly flew over and opened a portal.

Bworong.

Then flopped back onto Sejun’s shoulder and went back to sleep.

“Thanks, Bat-Bat.”

Sejun patted Bat-Bat’s bottom and stepped through the portal with his group.

[You have arrived in the Level 1 world <Aidar>.]

The message appeared before them.

Then—

Kugugung.

The ground began to tremble violently.

And—

“Heehit. This is fun!”

In the distance, they saw a mountain-sized child jumping up and down, wreaking havoc.

“There he is. Vice Chairman Te, go!”

“Puhuhut. Got it, nya!”

Whoosh.

At Sejun’s command, Theo vanished—

Smack!

And in the next instant, the child was slammed to the ground, having taken a blow to the back of the head.

“Ow! Why’d you hit me?! That hurt!”

The child sprang up, furious with pain.

“Puhuhut. I hit you because it hurts, nya!”

Whack!

Once again, the child was smacked down.

“Argh! Now I’m mad!”

“Puhuhut. You get hit more when you’re angry, nya!”

Wham! Wham! Wham!

The child was beaten until he passed out.

Swoosh.

When he fainted, he returned to his original, much smaller size.

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I’ve subdued him, nya! Did I do good, nya?!”

Theo used his Nyangnyang Step to zip back to Sejun and clung to his knee, his face screaming for praise.

“Yeah. Great job, Vice Chairman Te.”

“Puhuhut. I know, nya! There’s nothing Vice Chairman Te can’t do, nya!”

Theo proudly lifted his chin at the praise.

Sejun patted Theo’s head, then approached the child.

“You’re Yamyam.”

He gave the child that name, implying they should behave.

Cradling the newly named Yamyam—

“Let’s go home.”

But just then—

[A quest has appeared.]

[Quest: <Aidar> has begun collapsing after exceeding the damage threshold. Raise <Aidar>’s level within one hour to prevent its destruction.]

Reward: Peace for <Aidar>, integration of <Aidar> as a satellite world of <Earth>

A new quest appeared before Sejun.

Looks like Yamyam had jumped around so much he nearly destroyed <Aidar>.

“Eoksamchiri, how do I raise <Aidar>’s level?”

Until now, Sejun had only leveled up worlds via quest rewards. He didn’t know how to raise a world’s level manually.

[You may use the evolution EXP you’ve accumulated on <Earth> to raise <Aidar>’s level.]

“Really? Then go ahead and use it.”

Although he didn’t want to spend Earth’s evolution EXP casually, there was no way he’d let a whole world and its inhabitants be destroyed over that.

[Understood.] freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

[Using 15% of <Earth>’s evolution EXP to raise <Aidar>’s level.]

[<Aidar> has evolved to a Level 2 world.]

As <Aidar>’s level increased—

[Quest reward: Peace has returned to <Aidar>.]

[Quest reward: <Aidar> has been integrated as a satellite world of <Earth>.]

[<Earth> has acquired a Level 2 satellite world. All inhabitants of <Earth> gain +20 to all stats.]

A series of quest completion messages appeared.

So satellite worlds came with benefits like that?

Sejun learned something new.

Then—

[You have achieved a Great Feat: First satellite world integration into <Earth>.]

[Reward for Great Feat: Title <Satellite World Integrator> obtained.]

A unique reward appeared, just for Sejun.

<Title: Satellite World Integrator>

You receive 0.01% of all system-acquired rewards from residents of the integrated satellite world once per year.

(Reward in 365 days: Strength +0.001, Stamina +0.03, Agility +0.014, Magic +0.12, EXP +700, 100 Tower Coins)

“Oh!”

A reward every year?!

Seeing the title, Sejun gasped with delight. The immediate reward was small, but the promise of steady returns was exciting.

“Hehehe. Let’s go, everyone.”

Feeling great, Sejun returned to the Black Tower.

[You have arrived on the 99th Floor of the Black Tower.]

As they reached the 99th floor—

Moo!

[It’s Sejun-nim!]

Buzz-buzz!

[Sejun-nim is back! Exclusive scoop!]

Screech!

[Welcome back, Sejun-nim!]

The residents of the 99th floor welcomed him.

—Hahaha! Sejun came back because he missed me?!

—As if! He came back to see me, not you, Kellion!

—You two are embarrassing yourselves in front of Sejun!

Even the rulers of the Nine Towers used their dragon statues to greet him.

At that moment—

Queng! Queng!

[Mom’s not here, da yo! I don’t smell her on the 99th floor!]

Queng, not seeing Pink Fur, panicked. His large eyes filled with tears ready to fall.

“Huh? Where’s Pink Fur?!”

Seeing Queng about to cry, Sejun quickly looked around and asked.

Buzz-buzz.

[Pink Fur went to the 42nd floor. She’s running a kindergarten there for tower children.]

Reporter Bee No. 13,124 from Honeybee News delivered the update.

Queng?!

Upon hearing the news, Queng’s tears stopped.

“She’s running a kindergarten on the 42nd floor? Then I should go see her.”

Sejun quickly handed liquor and snacks to the dragons, then said:

“Guys, can you help me find out where the land deeds for the 42nd floor are?”

Since he hadn’t saved a waypoint on the 42nd floor, Sejun couldn’t teleport there directly.

“Queng, want to go see your mom first? Don’t worry—your big brother Theo is here with me.”

“Puhuhut. That’s right, nya! Trust your big brother and go see your mom, nya!”

Sejun and Theo comforted Queng.

Kuhehehe. Queng! Queng!

[Hehehe. Okay, da yo! Queng will go see Mom now, da yo!]

Thanks to their reassurance, Queng made up his mind.

“Then I’ll be waiting for you tomorrow at lunch on the closest floor, the 44th. Iona, take care of Queng for me.”

“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. Of course.”

Though Queng was strong, he was still young and inexperienced, so Sejun asked Iona to accompany him.

Kuhehehe. Queng! Queng!

[Hehehe. Got it, da yo! See you tomorrow, Dad!]

“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. See you tomorrow, Theo-nim.”

And so, Queng and Iona departed for the 42nd floor while Sejun and the others returned to Earth.

And then—

“Huh?”

Arriving back at the Kindergarten of Destruction—

“Okay, pull!”

“Teacher, is this enough?”

“I want to stop!”

“No!”

They found 15 kids utterly worn out from a brutal tug-of-war session with Aileen.

Is this... hell?

Shiver.

Yamyam, clutched in Sejun’s arms, trembled.
