Solo Farming In The Tower

h floor of the tower.

“Well, lately, the Red Locusts have changed their movement patterns, causing the Lizardmen and the free mercenaries to struggle.”

The Red Locusts had been deploying many more troops than before as most of their kind had been killed by sturdy blade onion leaves before they could even fight.

And the Red Locusts covered the Sturdy Blade Onion Leaves with their own corpses.
It was a mass battle tactic that the Red Locusts specialized in.

This made the Red Locusts unbothered by the sturdy blade onion leaves, and the allied forces of the 67th floor of the tower had to fight a tough battle again.

Due to this, the demand for sturdy blade onion leaves increased, and recently, the wolves were bringing in Red Locust corpses in carts in the morning and evening, and taking away sturdy blade onion leaves and SeP’s soup, creating a cycle.

“Here’s the money for selling the sturdy blade onion leaves and SeP’s soup.”

Elka handed Sejun the money.
Even when Theo was not trading, Sejun’s account balance was increasing thanks to the wolves.
Not having a place to spend the money was the problem, though…

“You guys aren’t in danger, are you?”

“You don’t need to worry.
So far, the Red Locusts haven’t invaded near the waypoint.”

“That’s a relief, do you want to have another bowl?”

“Yes, thank you!”

At Sejun’s question, the wolves happily wagged their tails and replied.

Then,

“We’ll head back down now.”

“Alright, take care.”

After eating another bowl of soup, the wolves loaded sturdy blade onion leaves and SeP’s soup into the carts and went back down to the 67th floor of the tower.

“President Theo, move to the other side.”

“Okay, meow!”

After seeing off the wolves, Sejun moved Theo to the other knee and went to find Woocheon Sam (1003).
He had initially planned to make the Oren and his followers work a little more, but his mind changed.

***

The mud field of the 99th floor of the tower.

Moooo~

Moooo~

Thousands of Black Minotaurs were happily singing and scooping mud into brick molds measuring 2m wide, 1m long, and 1m high to make mud bricks.

They were excited because if they made just ten of these and brought them to Sejun, they could eat a pile of tasty green onion leaves instead of tasteless mud.

These huge mud bricks had been in production for a few days now, meant to build a wall to defend against the attacks of the Corrupted Ents.

Then,

“Aaargh!”

“Ugh!”

A little further away from the Black Minotaurs, Oren and his followers were busily scooping mud into brick molds.

Their once-clean fur was now covered in mud, making them look like beggars.
It took all of them sticking together to barely make ten mud bricks a day, so they didn’t even have time to groom themselves.

“Ugh.
How did I end up making bricks…”

Oren whimpered in misery.

When they woke up from their sleep after eating grilled fish sold by the Grey Rabbits to their heart’s content,

“Huh?”

“What?!”

Suddenly, the grey rabbits had disappeared, and instead, terrifying Black Minotaurs started approaching them, giving them orders to work.

Thus, the ten cats became slaves at a mud brick factory.

“We will go home and bring money! Please let us go!”

Oren and the cats appealed to the Black Minotaurs,

Moo~

But they just responded that it wasn’t within their power.

As the cats were barely surviving, making mud bricks, on the third day,

Moooo~

“What?! An expert who can appraise items has arrived?!”

The cats were thrilled at the thought of escaping this mud brick labor.

And then, Sejun appeared before them.

“First, bring out the items.”

Sejun stepped forward and spoke.

“Yes.”

Truthfully, there was nothing worth looking at, but it was a step to torment them with hope again.

Trembling.

The cats brought out the items from their bags.

“All these items are trash.”

“What?!”

At Sejun’s casual words, the cats despaired.

“They’re all worthless.
You probably heard they were magic items, didn’t you? You’ve been scammed.”

‘Pffft.
How is it, meow? Do you like the sharp tongue of Sejun? Start wailing!’

Theo, who was hanging on Sejun’s back and overhearing the conversation, shivered with the pleasure of revenge.

And then,

“Sniff sniff.”

As Theo expected, the cats began to cry.

But the revenge was just beginning.

“You guys probably know this, but according to the contract you signed, you have to make 100,000 mud bricks to pay for the grilled fish.
But think about it, how many bricks can you make in a day?”

“Ten bricks…”

Oren weakly replied.

“That’s right.
So, it will take you at least 10,000 days to make 100,000 bricks.
But can you just work without eating anything during that time?”

“No…”

“That’s right.
So, your debt will increase and you’ll have to make even more bricks.
You’ll probably have to keep making bricks here until you die.”

The cats’ faces turned pale.
If what Sejun said was true, their lives were over here.

“But I’ll give you an opportunity.”

Sejun held out eight new contracts.

“An opportunity?!”

“For 10,000 days, you will work as interns in our farm’s distribution department and repay your debt.”

The cats carefully examined the contract.
The content was okay.
For 10,000 days, they would transport goods as porters and even get one grilled fish every day.

“We’ll do it.”

Afraid that this good opportunity would disappear, the cats quickly stamped their paw prints.

“What…what about me?”

Oren, who had not received a contract, called Sejun in desperation, fearing that he might be left alone.

“Here.”

Sejun offered Oren a contract.
There was an additional clause in Oren’s contract.

The representative of the distribution department has the right to take three items of his choice from Oren’s home.

Sejun added this clause, trusting Theo’s golden paw, knowing that Oren’s house was rich.

“Here you go.”

Oren stamped his paw print on the contract and handed it to Sejun.

There were plenty of expensive items in his home.
There would be no significant decrease in his family’s wealth just because he gave away three items.
If Sejun had asked for a large sum of money, he might have hesitated.

As the cats stamped their paw prints and handed over the contracts to Sejun,

“Interns! Welcome, meow! I’m Theo, the representative of the distribution department, meow!”

Theo, climbed onto Sejun’s shoulder, crossed his arms and said arrogantly.

“Huh?! You’re Theo?!”

Oren, surprised to see Theo, pointed at him with his front paw.

“Intern, don’t you know how to behave in front of the representative, meow?!”

Whack! Whack! Whack!

Theo hit Oren with his front paw, getting angry.

“Interns, follow me, meow! We have a lot of work to do, meow!”

Theo’s exciting revenge had begun.
And Sejun was able to escape from his drooping knees.
