Solo Farming In The Tower-Chapter 7Vol 2. : Welcome to the Kindergarten of Destruction! ()

<Celix>

“Nice...”

The God of Creation lay on a sunbed, enjoying the very first moment of peace in his entire life without a single worry.

“......”

He had spent the last few days just blankly staring out at the sea.

To others, it might look like a vacation, but for the God of Creation, doing absolutely nothing—no thoughts, no movement—was the best kind of rest, a way to extend his divine lifespan.

Then—

“Hm?”

What was that?!

An intense energy interrupted his rest.

It was a very familiar aura.

The God of Creation sprang up and followed the energy—

Suck. Suck. Suck.

In between the rocks, a baby was calmly sucking its thumb.

[Child of Creation Tainted by Destruction]

It was one of the babies that Taecho had banished to another world.

“Sigh...”

He had come all the way here to rest...

The God of Creation let out a long sigh.

“Just hang in there. I’ll take you somewhere nice.”

And with that, he headed for Earth, baby in arms.

A short while later—

He left the baby in front of the gates of the Kindergarten of Destruction.

“His name is Cervantes.”

He left a note.

Then—

Ding-dong.

“Sejun, I’m counting on you!”

He rang the doorbell and ran.

***

“We got a baby!”

“A new baby came!”

“The Great Kkamang Teacher said new babies are a good thing!”

After the new thumb-sucker joined the chaos, the children had breakfast, played for a bit, and before long, it was lunchtime.

Once the kids had eaten their fill and were laid down for naps, Sejun finally got a short break—

Ding-dong.

The doorbell rang again.

Not this time!

Thud thud thud.

Sejun rushed out, determined to catch the God of Creation in the act of bell-and-run.

But—

“Huh? Tae-jun?”

“Hahaha. Hello!”

“Hi there.”

It turned out to be Han Tae-jun and Kim Dong-sik.

They had come to greet Sejun, who had recently decided to stay in Korea for the time being.

“Come in.”

Sejun invited them inside and shared coffee brewed by Queng as they chatted.

“Mr. Sejun, if you ever plan to visit another country, please let me know. I’ll have a helicopter and private jet ready at once.”

“Really? Then I’ll definitely let you know.”

“Sejun, why take a plane when I can fly you myself?” Aileen frowned, clearly displeased.

“I’ve never ridden a helicopter... and I kind of want to try a private jet...”

“Well... if that’s what you want... fine. Go ahead. I, the mighty Black Dragon Aileen Frittani, am generous and understanding.”

Seeing Sejun’s disappointed face, she immediately relented.

“Yay! Thanks!”

As Sejun, Aileen, and Han Tae-jun continued talking—

“Puhuhut. Dong-sik, let me borrow your smartphone, nya!”

Theo approached Dong-sik.

“Smartphone? What for?”

“Puhuhut. I think I heard you can check Earth’s news with this, nya!”

“Oh, you’re going to read the news? But you’ll need to know Korean. Did you learn it?”

“Dong-sik, are you looking down on me, the Vice Chairman Theo, nya?! I, Vice Chairman Theo, am a cat who can write my name in Korean, nya!”

[Park Theo]

“Puhuhut. See that, nya?!”

Theo scratched his name into the wall with his claws and puffed out his chest.

“Alright, alright. Here you go.”

Cute little guy.

Thinking that, Dong-sik handed over his smartphone to Theo.

“Puhuhut.”

Theo started browsing Earth’s news.

He focused on news articles about Sejun’s crops.

[This article requires payment to view.]

[₩10,000 payment required.]

Then a pop-up appeared asking for payment.

“Dong-sik, pay for this, nya!”

“Sure.”

As Dong-sik gave a thumbs-up, the payment went through.

While Theo scrolled through the articles—

—Harvard University’s Gastric Cancer Center fails to decode the healing mechanism of the Power Potato despite all resources...

—Sleep Plums, recently sold in the Black Tower, skyrocket in popularity among insomniacs...

—Monopoly of Sejun’s crops detected in the Black Tower, causing a tenfold price surge this year alone...

—Magic Cherry Tomatoes double in price this month...

—Magic Peanuts, essential for exam students, now priced over 100 times higher. Daechi-dong parents despair...

“Nya?!”

How dare someone sell Chairman Park’s crops for more than me, Vice Chairman Theo, nya?!

Unforgivable, nya!

Theo seethed as he read the articles.

If someone was selling Sejun’s crops at a high price, it should be him—Sejun’s right hand.

High prices meant high value. This was a challenge to his authority as Sejun Company’s Vice Chairman.

“Chairman Park, I’m heading out for a bit, nya!”

“Okay. But no causing trouble, got it?”

“Puhuhut. Got it, nya! Iona, let’s go, nya!”

“Kkyut?! Okay!”

At Theo’s call, Iona rushed over, clinging to Theo’s tail.

And—

“Puhuhut. Dong-sik, this smartphone belongs to me now, nya!”

Theo grabbed Dong-sik’s smartphone and ran off.

From that moment on, Dong-sik would be stuck paying Theo’s phone and shopping bills for life.

“Huh?”

[Park Theo ♡ Iona]

Is this... a wedding announcement?

I guess any future charges will count as a congratulatory gift.

Dong-sik smirked, noticing the half-finished engraving. He had no idea what astronomical costs lay ahead.

***

Black Tower, 1st Floor.

“Sorry, we’re sold out.”

“What?! Already?!”

“Didn’t the shipment come in just an hour ago?!”

“Are people hoarding again?!”

“Come on, people! Think of those waiting behind you!”

“Yeah! We’ve been waiting 20 hours since yesterday afternoon!”

“Seriously! There should be a limit! If you take everything, what are we supposed to buy?!”

The hunters were furious at not being able to buy Sejun’s crops, and the area descended into chaos.

Then—

Thump. Thump.

“Quiet!”

Black bears from Queng’s enforcement squad appeared, and the noise died instantly.

But that was only a temporary solution.

The Black Tower’s first floor was a powder keg ready to explode, all due to a few factions buying up Sejun’s crops en masse.

As fewer crops made it to market, prices soared, and frustrated hunters could only stand by and watch.

This was the result of major capital interference. They were moving to monopolize Sejun’s crops.

Among them was Gagel.

Even Gagel, who had been keeping quiet after Michael’s scandal, began mobilizing behind the scenes.

But their plans were about to crumble—thanks to Theo.

Puhuhut. Humans, prepare to witness the power of Vice Chairman Theo, nya!

Now then... where to sell, nya?

Leaving the kindergarten, Theo pondered where to sell Sejun’s crops.

“Nya?!”

That’s right! This thing lets you talk to people, nya!

He recalled the hunters who had taken pictures of him in the Tower.

He raised the smartphone.

“This is it, nya?”

Tap. Tap.

He began pressing apps. But as it was his first time, he didn’t quite find the right one.

Then—

“Oh?! Theo!”

Sera, on her way out for a scheduled event, approached him.

“Puhuhut. Sera, long time no see, nya! I have something to announce to the world with this thing, nya! Show me how, nya!”

“Oh, you want to livestream? Got it.”

Sera launched her Stargram app and started a livestream.

“Hi everyone! I started this stream because Theo has something to say!”

“Puhuhut. Sera, do I just talk here, nya?”

“Yup. First, say hi to everyone.”

“Puhuhut. Hello, humans, nya!”

“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. Hello!”

—OMG! Theo is on Sera’s stream!

—Seriously?! I’m a huge Theo fan!

—I’m hopping on right now!

Fans who had been following Theo flocked to the stream.

Then—

“Theo, what do you want to say to everyone?”

As ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ Sera played host, Theo continued speaking. It had become an impromptu fan meet.

“Puhuhut. Humans! I, Vice Chairman Theo, will be holding an auction of the great Chairman Park’s crops, nya! Come buy them, nya!”

—Whoa! Really?! Are you selling them here in Korea now?!

“Puhuhut. Yes, nya! I’m the one who should be selling Chairman Park’s crops at the highest price, nya!”

“But Theo, a lot of people are asking who the cute hamster next to you is.”

“Puhuhut. This is my girlfriend, Iona, nya!”

“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. I’m Iona.”

—That hamster is adorable!

—I’m an Iona fan starting today!

—What a messed-up world! Even a cat has a hamster girlfriend, and I...

As Iona’s fan club began to form—

“Sir! Vice Chairman Theo is livestreaming!”

“What?! A livestream?! Why there?!”

“He says it’s for an auction!”

“Where is it?!”

“Seoul, Korea—Hannam-dong!”

“Get the private jet ready, now!”

Wealthy elites and hunters across the world, having seen the stream, began heading for Hannam-dong in Seoul.

“Puhuhut. Sold out, nya!”

Of course, by then, the crops were already sold out to the flood of people who had arrived after hearing the news.

***

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I, Vice Chairman Theo, have returned with piles of money, nya!”

Theo returned an hour later, carrying a huge wad of cash.

“You little—where did you steal that?!”

Sejun, naturally suspicious, questioned him first.

“I didn’t steal it, nya! I made it from an auction, nya!”

“Kkyu—it’s true! Please don’t doubt Theo! He earned it by selling your crops!”

Theo and Iona protested fiercely.

“Alright, Iona, calm down.”

Seeing Iona reach ‘Fury Kkyu Level 1,’ Sejun quickly cooled things down and hid behind Aileen as he continued.

“Honestly, the crop hoarding issue has been giving me a headache. Why don’t we keep selling the crops here in Korea?”

Han Tae-jun, who had received a report from the Awakened Association about Theo’s auction, proposed it to Sejun.

Not only would it help curb the price spikes, but it also sent the message that Korea and Sejun were on good terms.

“Yes, that sounds good. Sorry for doubting you, Vice Chairman Theo.”

After accepting Han Tae-jun’s suggestion, Sejun apologized to Theo.

“Puhuhut. If you’re sorry, give me exclusive rights to your lap for 100 years, nya!”

Never missing a chance, Theo made his demand.

“That’s too much. I’ll give you 100 days instead.”

“Puhuhut. Deal, nya!”

Though Sejun reduced 100 years to 100 days, Theo gladly accepted.

“Then let’s hold an auction every week in front of the Black Tower in Hannam-dong.”

“Yes, sounds perfect.”

Just as Sejun and Han Tae-jun were finalizing the auction schedule—

“Chairman...”

“Chairman, play with us...”

The kids woke up from their naps and clung to Sejun.

“Urgh... I’ll be going now.”

“...Me too.”

Han Tae-jun and Kim Dong-sik quickly left. The moment they saw the kids, they felt like rabbits before a tiger.

“Okay. Bye now. Kids, let’s gather by class!”

Sejun sent them off and passed the kids to their respective caretakers.

And then—

“Puhuhut. Cat Class, gather now, nya! We’re playing auction game, nya!”

[Hehe~. Gather up! Apple Tree Class will be planting the World Tree!]

(Bat-Bat. Bat Class will sing a song!)

Kuhehehe. Queng!

[Hehehe. Bear Class will be making rice cakes, da yo!]*

Kihihit. Kking! Kking!

[Heehee! Puppy Class minions, gather up! The mighty Teacher Kkamang will play with you!]

Theo, Flamy, Bat-Bat, Queng, and Kkamang all gathered their classes to begin playtime.

Meanwhile, the thumb-sucker spent all day sleeping—except when eating—

“Taecho Class, gather!”

So Taecho took charge. Of course, Sejun was watching from behind, so it was basically the same.

Time passed peacefully...

Clank.

Then came trouble as Sejun opened the spatial warehouse to prepare dinner.

“Hehehe.”

“There’s yummy stuff here!”

“Uhh... we’re not supposed to go in there...”

“Gomgomi, you dummy. That’s why we sneak in!”

Taking advantage of the open warehouse, the kids sneaked in—

“Wow! So much food!”

“This is awesome!”

“It's honey!”

“There’s tons of dried sweet potatoes too!”

They began eating snacks meant for Queng and Kkamang.

Queng!

Kking!

Queng and Kkamang discovered the mess and panicked.

Quoong! Queng!

Grrrr! Kking!

“Queng, Kkamang, calm down! And Shongshongi, Pongpongi, Gomgomi, Rangrangi—how many times have I said not to go into the warehouse?! Was that right or wrong?!”

While Sejun was calming the two teachers and scolding the kids—

“Huh? What’s this?”

Taecho wandered into the open warehouse and stood before the God of Creation’s tombstone.

She examined it closely and declared:

“I want Park Sejun to become super strong and live forever!”

And thus, she set a new law of the world.

It fell short by about a billion divine devices, so the conditions weren’t fully met, but the rule was established.

Because it was Taecho’s decree.

As a result, Sejun was forcibly granted overwhelming power by the law of the world.

“Gahhh!”

“Chairman Park, get a hold of yourself, nya!”

Queng!

[Dad! Please stay awake, da yo!]

Kking!

[Servant!]

Unable to handle the immense power, Sejun collapsed.
