Solo Farming In The Tower-Chapter 720: Heheh. Vice Chairman Theo, if it weren’t for me, you would’ve just gotten dumped.

[You have arrived in the Level 4 World .]

This time, Sejun had arrived in full formation with the family—Theo, Iona, Queng, and Kkamang.

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, that way nya!”

Theo, clinging to Sejun’s knee, pointed toward the east.

As expected of our Vice Chairman Theo.

Sejun had already asked a bard about the location earlier that morning.

Watching Theo accurately point to the direction of the Ziganin Mountain Range—where the treasure was hidden—Sejun had no choice but to once again acknowledge the golden front paw of Theo.

“Alright, let’s move out.”

And so, Sejun and his party began heading east toward the Ziganin Mountains.

Would he be upset that I didn’t stop by yesterday?

Should I have at least told him I’d be gone for a bit?

Sejun suddenly thought of Corruption.

“Should I go and see him for a moment?”

Nah.

No.

He decided it would be better to talk leisurely tonight—there was just too much to do right now.

At that moment—

“Great Hybrid Chairman Park, there’s a very serious problem nya!”

Theo said solemnly, his expression heavy.

“A serious problem? What is it?”

Don’t tell me—

Has the pull disappeared?!

That would mean the treasure suddenly vanished?!

Someone stole our treasure?!

Sejun immediately tensed at Theo’s words.

But—

“I, Vice Chairman Theo, don’t have a gift nya!”

“Huh? A gift? What gift?”

“There’s one for Sister Aileen, for Quengie, Bat-Bat, and Kkamang, but nothing for me nya!”

Ah. That kind of problem.

A very trivial problem.

“You little—”

Sejun was about to scold him, dumbfounded—

“Queng has a gift da yo?!”

“I have a gift?”

“A gift for the Great Kkamang?!”

“Super-Taste Roasted Sweet Potato Jerky?!”

Hearing Theo’s words, Queng, Bat-Bat, and Kkamang perked up and stared at Sejun with eager ears.

“Sigh... Yeah, I was preparing Children’s Day gifts for Queng, Bat-Bat, and Kkamang.”

Sejun sighed, giving in and revealing the surprise.

And just like that, the Children’s Day surprise mission Sejun had planned was a bust.

Quuhehehe.

(Baheheh.)

Kkihihit.

Still, maybe this was better—they’d be thrilled until Children’s Day came.

As Sejun decided to go with the flow—

“Kyung...”

Theo... What about me?

Iona sulked, having been left out.

She couldn’t bring herself to say it out loud—it hurt her pride.

Just then—

“Chairman Park! Our Iona doesn’t have a gift either nya!”

Theo stepped up for her.

“Alright. You guys will get gifts too.”

“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut.”

And just like that, Iona’s face bloomed with joy as if she hadn’t been sulking at all.

Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut.

Theo cared about me!

He said our Iona!

What thrilled her more than the promise of a gift from Sejun—was the fact that Theo had claimed her as our Iona.

And so—heheh.

Vice Chairman Theo, if it weren’t for me, you would’ve just gotten dumped.

Nya?!

Really nya?!

Thank you nya!

As expected of the Great Hybrid Chairman Park nya!

Only Sejun and Theo knew the real reason Sejun had jabbed Theo in the side—to make him look after Iona.

A little while later—

“We’re here.”

Sejun and his group arrived at the Ziganin Mountain Range, a vast terrain of towering peaks.

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, that way nya! Wait. No, this way nya?!”

Theo, pointing toward where the pull was strongest, suddenly began hesitating.

“What’s wrong?”

Sejun asked.

“Puhuhut. There are two pulls nya!”

As expected, the golden front paw recognized by the Great Hybrid Chairman Park was exceptional nya!

After a brief moment of analysis, Theo puffed out his chest and declared it proudly.

There was another pull—something beyond the original treasure they were after.

“Oh!”

Two for the price of one?!

Sejun beamed with excitement at Theo’s response.

“Vice Chairman Theo, where are they?”

He quickly brought Theo over to locate the sources of the pull.

He planned to work on both spots simultaneously.

One would be handled by Queng, the Master of Digging. The other by Iona, the Mage of Great Destruction. It would be over in no time.

“This way nya!”

Theo pointed—

Queng!

And Queng immediately began digging in the direction Theo’s paw had indicated.

“This way nya!”

Then Theo pointed to the second pull—

Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. Power of gravity...

Iona conjured a micro black hole.

Kwahd-deudeudeuk.

The black hole devoured the earth as it rolled forward, digging a clean hole.

Meanwhile, Sejun prepared snacks for the hard-working Queng and Iona, then lay out a mat with the rest of the group for a quick break.

Kwagwagwang!

“That’s pretty loud.”

The digging was so intense it sent vibrations through the ground.

But—

Kurrr.

Unbothered, Sejun peacefully dozed off.

Ba-rorong.

Belly-rorong.

Kkirurung.

...

..

.

The rest of the group napped on top of Sejun’s body too.

While they were all sleeping—

“Hm?”

Sensing someone’s presence, Sejun snapped his eyes open and wiped his mouth, pretending he hadn’t been asleep.

But—

Queng?

[Daddy, you were asleep da yo?]

Queng, having finished digging, had caught him red-handed.

“......”

Is he going to scold me?

Feeling guilty for dozing off alone, Sejun stayed silent.

Queng.

[If you’re tired, sleep some more da yo.]

Pat, pat.

Thankfully, his dutiful son Queng didn’t scold him. Instead, he gently patted Sejun’s shoulder to help him sleep.

Kugh.

As expected of my boy...

Kurrr.

Tearing up, Sejun obeyed his son’s kind gesture and fell asleep again.

Quuhehehe.

Satisfied, Queng plopped down beside Sejun, pressed his rear against Sejun’s side, and closed his eyes.

A few minutes later—

“Kkyut?”

Having finished her work, Iona found Sejun and the others all fast asleep.

And what if someone sneaks in and steals the treasure while you’re all dozing off like this?

“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. Power of mana, repel those not permitted. Gate Lock.”

She sealed the entrances of the tunnels she and Queng had dug using magic to prevent anyone else from entering.

“Absolute Shield.”

She also cast a protective spell around Sejun’s surroundings, tying up all the loose ends with meticulous care.

“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut.”

Only then did Iona snuggle up, wrapping herself around Theo’s tail, and doze off with a blissful smile.

In her dreams, she was marrying Theo—her cheeks curled up in quiet laughter.

***

Herr’s Pawnshop.

Creaaak.

“Hwaaahhng! I’m finally back!”

Herr burst into tears the moment she «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» opened the door to her pawnshop.

Now I’ve got to visit the clients and let them know I’m back!

She quickly rushed over to the Seed Store Headquarters to inform Sejun’s usual contacts—the God of Mud, Mudd, and the God of Basalt, Harr.

But—

“Herr, I’m disappointed in you.

All this time, you were taking five welfare points for yourself and giving me just one?”

The gods who had previously received Theo’s nomination quests had already learned how much Herr had been skimming off the top.

“Ah?! Guys, that’s, uh...”

“Forget it. We’re not doing business with you anymore.”

They no longer wanted to deal with her.

Did I take too much?

This isn’t good.

Herr began to worry.

In this state, she wouldn’t be able to collect welfare points. Without those, sending Sejun the 100 Transcendent-grade Seeds would be impossible.

Worse still, the quest reward—the divine authority of the Grand Merchant and 5% of Sejun Company’s Seed Distribution Network—would be gone forever.

“There’s gotta be a way...”

Herr wracked her brain, trying to come up with a way out of this mess.

But—

“Ugh. What do I do...”

Nothing good came to mind.

No—

There was one idea. One very definite solution.

But it was the one she wanted to avoid the most...

She didn’t want to do it.

Because it meant meeting the being she dreaded the most.

Get it together, Herr!

How can the God of Commerce be afraid of meeting another merchant?!

Resolving herself, Herr made her decision.

Knock. Knock.

“Excuse me?”

She knocked—

On the door leading into someone’s mental world.

***

Theo’s Mental World.

Wadadada!

Mini Chairman Park No. 4 was running all over the place, adding bits of Churu and grilled fish to the vast Churu Lake and the Mount Grilled Fish.

“Puhuhut. Grow up fast nya!”

These knees are too tiny nya!

Theo was diligently gathering ambient energy to help Mini Chairman Park No. 4 grow.

Just then—

Knock knock knock.

A sound echoed from the sky.

“Nya? Who’s there nya?”

Theo asked.

“It’s me. Herr, God of Commerce.”

Herr replied.

“Puhuhut. Come on in nya!”

As Theo granted permission, the sky parted and Herr descended.

And—

“Vice Chairman Theo, I have a request. Please grant the nomination quests to me exclusively from now on.”

She got straight to the point.

She’d already steeled her face for shamelessness.

“Nya?! Herr, have you lost your mind nya?! Don’t you know the reason our Great Hybrid Chairman Park’s Seed Store didn’t open is because you bought up all the seeds in the middle nya?! Do you want to be impeached again nya?!”

Theo raised his voice in anger.

Whack, whack.

Because of you, Master took a loss!

Mini Chairman Park No. 4 angrily kicked Herr’s shoe with his tiny feet.

“This time, it won’t happen again.”

Herr hadn’t come without a plan.

“And if you give me all the nomination quests from now on, I’ll provide 1 million Divine Tools per month, five drops of Elixir, and five Transcendent-grade Seeds.”

“Puhuhut. For real nya?!”

“Yes!”

“Puhuhut. Deal nya!”

Delighted, Theo agreed.

Among the requirements for creating new laws in the world:

– 100 Quintillion Tower Coins (Complete)

– 1 Quintillion Liters of Creation Energy (Complete)

– 10 Billion Liters of Blood from Each of the Nine Dragons (Complete)

– 1 Trillion Scales from Each of the Nine Dragons (Complete)

– 1 Trillion Holy Power (Complete)

– 10 Billion Divine Tools (Incomplete)

Only the Divine Tools were still missing.

About 3 billion short.

Puhuhut.

I’ll finish this quickly and make the Great Hybrid Chairman Park the strongest in the world nya!

Then I can stay by his side until death nya!

While Theo imagined a happy future together with Sejun—

Whack, whack.

Hey! What about me?!

Mini Chairman Park No. 4 kept kicking Herr, demanding something for himself too.

What’s with this kid?

“Well then, I’ll be off.”

Herr, flustered, quickly made her escape.

***

“Hmm.”

How long did I sleep?

Sejun opened his eyes after about an hour’s nap.

“Ugh.”

The sunlight pierced his eyes, and he hastily shielded them as he sat up.

Squeeeak...

The sudden tilt caused the Kkamang family sleeping on his chest to roll off—

Thunk.

Sejun caught them with one hand and tucked them safely into his sling bag.

Then—

“Alright, guys, time to get up.”

He gently nudged the others awake.

“Nya...”

“Kkyut...”

“Queng...”

(Bat-Bat...)

As the party woke up—

“Queng, can I get a coffee?”

Queng!

Sejun got to making drinks for the group, while Queng brewed a refreshing iced americano just for him.

After sipping on their drinks and nibbling on prepped snacks, Sejun and the others finally came to their senses.

“Hehehe. So, where should we start?”

After a moment’s thought, Sejun decided to check the tunnel Queng had dug first.

Daddy, aren’t you curious about what Queng dug da yo?

Queng was sparkling with anticipation, eyes glinting as he looked at Sejun.

A little while later—

Rumble...

Following the tunnel Queng had excavated, Sejun reached a grand stone gate ten meters tall, depicting a battle between a monster and a petrified warrior.

“Whoa.”

Beyond it lay a room overflowing with treasure.

“Hm?”

What’s that?

Sejun spotted an unidentifiable object deeper inside.

It was evidence that Queng had opened the door first and eliminated the guardians to ensure Sejun’s safety.

“Let’s grab it all quickly.”

Now seasoned experts in treasure gathering, the group swiftly began storing the loot in their personal subspace inventories.

“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. This way.”

Next, they moved through the tunnel Iona had dug.

And then—

“Huh?”

This is... really underwhelming?

In front of them stood a shabby wooden door.

Creak.

Without hesitation, Sejun opened it—

Bearer of Primordial Power.

Come forth.

A voice echoed in his mind—

And everything went black.
