Solo Farming In The Tower

ry scary underwater monster might be talking about even more delicious food.
He became interested in the sea of dimensions.
A sea full of all kinds of rare and delicious fish.

However,

“It’s difficult for now.”

To go to the sea of dimensions, thorough preparation was needed.
Sejun promised himself for the future and focused on catching squid.

***

[You have a new notification.]

“Quing?”

Aileen, who had been watching Sejun in case he decided to venture into the Dimensional Sea, pressed the ominous red notification that appeared on the crystal orb screen.

[53,128,137,12 Red Locusts have invaded the 67th floor of the tower.]

“Red Locusts?!”

Aileen was shocked when she saw the alert.
It had been almost 100 years since the last locust invasion in the tower.
At that time, her grandfather had resolved the issue while Aileen, unable to leave the Administrator’s space, could only watch.

“What should I do?”

Aileen couldn’t open a portal connected to the outside of the tower with her abilities.

While Aileen was struggling,

[0.01% of the 67th floor has been devastated by the Red Locusts.]

…

..

.

[1.2% of the 67th floor has been devastated by the Red Locusts.]

The alarms came in rapidly.
The Red Locusts that had invaded the 67th floor were devouring everything alive.

***

218th day of being stranded.

“It would be nice to have some gochujang or mayonnaise.”

Chew chew.

Sejun mused regretfully while chewing on semi-dried squid.
Ever since the underwater cave connected to the Dimensional Sea had opened, piranhas and squids were abundant in the pond.

And so, Sejun had strung up the caught squids on green onion leaves, creating semi-dried squids, a new snack after the dried sweet potato.

“How is it?”

Sejun asked, looking at the Architect Rabbit examining the mud.
Sejun was currently touring the Black Minotaurs territory with the Black Rabbit and the Architect Rabbit.

Beep!

The Architect Rabbit nodded his head.
This is enough!

The reason Sejun came all the way to the Black Minotaurs territory despite being busy with farming was because of the mud.

When Sejun had previously visited this place, he had thought about making mud bricks upon seeing the mud, and with the joining of the Architect Rabbit, he decided to start making the mud bricks in earnest.

“Good.”

Sejun filled the brick mold, made by the Wood Craftsman Rabbit, with mud.
The wood was procured with the help of Mother Crimson Giant Bear.

When Sejun asked Mother Crimson Giant Bear for wood, she brought back two logs the next day, each almost as thick as Sejun’s body.
The inside of the wood was a deep red like blood, which was strange, but the Grey Rabbits said it was good wood.

Sweep

After filling the mold and smoothing the overflowing mud,

And when the brick mold was removed,

Clunk.

The mud retained its shape, forming a perfect square mud brick.
Now all he had to do was dry the mud brick until it hardened.
The mud brick was made incredibly easily.

“Shall we just make about 100,000 for now?”

Sejun casually mentioned a number that would take tens of days of continuous work to achieve.
Of course, he didn’t care.
He wasn’t going to make them himself.

There were plenty of spare laborers in the area, rolling mud into their mouths, so he didn’t need to do it himself.

Sejun made a new deal with the Minotaur King to receive mud bricks in exchange for green onion leaves.
As large brick molds for the Black Minotaurs were already being made, they decided to send them with the Black Minotaurs returning after the day’s work.

“What should we make first?”

Like playing Minecraft, Sejun returned to the cave and joyfully imagined what he could build with the bricks.

Then, after having grilled fish and stir-fried squid for lunch, just as he was about to start his afternoon work –

“Ah!”

Sejun suddenly remembered that he had not planted the Golden sweet potatoes.

“I should plant them quickly and harvest the cherry tomatoes.”

Sejun went to the storage to get the harvested Golden sweet potatoes.

But,

“Huh?! Where did they all go?”

There were no Golden Sweet Potatoes that had been stored in the storage.

***

On the rooftop of the Korean Awakened Association building, built right next to the black tower, two robust men were looking down at Gangnam downtown.

“Hoo.
What forces have contacted Park Sejun’s family?”

President Han Taejun asked his eldest disciple, Cha Si-Hyeok, exhaling a puff of smoke from his cigarette.

“23 countries including the United States, Japan, and China are monitoring Park Sejun’s family.
I have quietly dealt with the people from the three countries who attempted kidnapping.”

“Well done.
Is it Dong-sik’s shift now to protect them?”

“Yes.”

“Tell Dong-sik to come see me during his shift change.”

Han Taejun planned to send Kim Dong-sik on an errand to get more magical cherry tomatoes.

Eating the magical cherry tomatoes given by Kim Dong-sik increased one’s magic power, making it a little easier to overcome the curse of flame and making external activities much more comfortable.

Above all, they were delicious.

“Yes.”

While they were talking for about 10 minutes,

Sizzle,

Blisters began to form on Han Taejun’s finger, accompanied by a burning sound and the appearance of a burn-like wound.

“Argh! Damn it.
This curse…”

“Master, are you okay?!”

“What’s all the fuss about this? Just go.”

“Yes.”

Cha Si-hyeok sadly looked at his master, Han Taejun, descending from the rooftop.
In the past, he could stay active outside for about an hour, but now he struggled even after 20 minutes.

“There must be a way!”

Cha Si-hyeok determined to find a way to break his master’s curse.

“Why is this here, meow?”

Sitting on Elka’s back and checking his inventory, Theo looked at the Golden Sweet Potato in his inventory that was emitting light with a perplexed expression.
Sejun had clearly said that he would plant the Golden Sweet Potato.

It seemed like he might have put it in the inventory without thinking when he was packing sweet potatoes.

“Mr.
Theo, what’s the matter?”

“It’s nothing, meow! There’s no problem, meow!”

At Elka’s question, Theo hastily replied.

‘I can’t show any weaknesses to my subordinates, meow! I am the perfect Theo, meow!’

While Theo was thinking about how to handle the Golden sweet potato, Elka entered the entrance of the merchant route leading from the 60th floor to the 50th floor.
