Solo Farming In The Tower

Chapter 521: Hehe. The butler will be surprised later, won’t he?

TL: Hanguk

Green Tower Administrator Zone.

[One of the growth conditions for the Green Tower, planting 100 billion seeds, has been achieved.]

“Hohoho. My granddaughter is working hard.”

Brachio Iorg, the leader of the great Green Dragons, smiled broadly as she looked at the notification displayed in the crystal sphere.

Ophelia, still harboring a competitive spirit toward Sejun, was putting in her best effort to catch up with him.

A good rival is one who spurs you to grow.

Of course, Sejun, the sunfish that he was, had no idea he was being considered a rival by a great dragon.

“Now, we only have three more Green Tower growth conditions left to fulfill?”

Brachio said as she reviewed the list of conditions for the growth of the Green Tower.

Tower Farmer (A) was fulfilled when Ophelia became an A-rank Tower Farmer.

Growing the World Tree was fulfilled when a chestnut World Tree suddenly appeared on the 57th floor of the tower.

Achieve one great feat was accomplished when Theo’s sale of Sejun’s Sturdy Blade Green Onions to the Neta Tribe led to the extinction of the locusts.

Then again when Theo sold the Vitality-Infused Fragrant Grapes and the Screaming Pineapple, leading to the extinction of the Giant Blood-sucking Spider, earning two great feats in total, thus exceeding the requirement.

With that, five out of eight growth conditions for the Green Tower had been met.

Achieving in just one year what hadn’t been done in 3,000 years was a very satisfying result.

-Uahahaha! Brachio, how’ve you been?! Thanks to Sejun, we just fulfilled six growth conditions for the White Tower!

At least until the magic communication from Kellion Mamebe, the administrator of the White Tower, arrived.

“Argh!”

We’ll achieve 7 before the next dragon meeting!

Brachio’s competitive spirit was ignited.

It seemed Ophelia’s competitiveness was indeed inherited from her grandmother.

***

86th Floor of the Golden Tower.

“Seethe with envy and jealousy.”

Silaut used his power to cast a widespread curse on the surroundings.

Immediately,

“Argh! Everton! What makes you so much better than me?!”

“Willy! Why does the captain always praise you?! What do you have that I don’t?!”

“Loto! Why are you the only one winning the lottery?!” (TL: The name when translate would be Roto but I am keeping it as Loto😁)

The soldiers’ eyes turned red, and the jealousy and envy buried deep in their hearts began to surface.

But the soldiers didn’t look at those they were envious and jealous of.

Instead, they turned their hostile gaze toward Sejun’s group, filled with fury.

“Kukukuk. Now fight each other to death.”

Silaut took twisted pleasure in making others see their allies as objects of envy and jealousy, leading them to fight and ultimately destroy each other.

This was why Silaut was known as the Demon King of Envy and Jealousy.

And then,

[You have been cursed by Silaut, the Demon King of Envy and Jealousy.]

The curse of Silaut began to seep into Sejun’s group as well.

Demon King?!

Along with the message, Sejun’s eyes started to turn red as envy and jealousy started to rise within him.

Why am I the only one who’s weak?!

The jealousy and envy that he had buried deep inside began to stir.

[The effect of the <Title: One Who Hates Demons> allows you to resist the impure energy.]

[You have successfully resisted the curse.]

Fortunately, thanks to his title and the mental strength and divine power Sejun had accumulated, he was able to push back against the curse.

“Guys, are you all okay?!”

Having successfully resisted the curse, Sejun hurriedly checked on his companions.

“Meow?! Puhuhut. I, Hybrid Vice Chairman Theo, am a cat who has everything, so I’m not affected by such petty curses-nya!”

I have the great Hybrid Chairman Park’s lap, so there’s nothing to envy, meow!

Kueng!

[Dad loves Cuengi, so Cuengi is fine!]

As long as Dad loves Cuengi, Cuengi is happy!

Piyo!

[I’m okay too because I have peanuts!]

Piyihihi. I’m already Theo-nim’s right front paw after all!

Theo, Cuengi, and Piyot who already had everything they wanted and lacked nothing weren’t affected by the curse

Kihihit, Kking!

[Hehe, Butler! I beat the curse!]

The Blackie Family possessed mental defenses so strong that even if they wanted to, they couldn’t be affected by something as trivial as the Demon King’s curse. There was no need to worry.

However…

“Why is Theo~nim the only one who gets to be happy?! Why is Theo~nim the only one with endless luck?! Give me some luck too!”

There was one person who couldn’t resist the curse. Uren, who had always envied Theo’s luck, had his eyes turn red with fury.

And then,

“Theo~nim, give me some of your luck too! Uheheh. I’ll hold on tight and won’t let go until you share your luck with me!”

Uren, eyes filled with envy, charged toward the soldiers. In his mind, all 100,000 soldiers appeared to be Theo.

“Vice Chairman Theo, let’s put him to sleep.”

“Understood, meow!”

Thwack.

“Kuik!”

Theo struck the back of Uren’s head, knocking him out cold.

Once the situation was under control within the group,

“That’s mine originally! Give it back!”

“I have to have it!”

“That was supposed to be mine!”

The soldiers, now completely overtaken by envy and jealousy, had lost their senses and were about 100 meters away, closing in on them.

“Leave this to me.”

Sejun spoke confidently.

Seeing the soldiers charging forward with unfocused eyes, it was clear that stopping them with a powerful attack like before would be difficult.

If he had to knock them out one by one, it would take far too long.

And if they regained their senses and fled while he was dealing with the Demon King, they might lose these valuable employees.

We can’t lose the full-time employees.

Clack.

Sejun pulled out a purple gemstone.

‘Finally, I get to use this.’

Crack.

He squeezed it, shattering the gemstone in his hand.

Immediately,

[Blessing Stone of Uncle, the God of Grapevines, has been destroyed.]

[The Blessing of the Grapevine of Restraint is activated.]

[The Grapevine of Restraint will subdue all the enemies.]

A series of messages appeared as,

Rustle.

Vines sprouted from the ground beneath the soldiers’ feet, winding around them.

At first, the soldiers tried to shake off the vines.

Rustle. Rustle.

But the vines kept growing endlessly, wrapping around the soldiers, and in the end, they were completely restrained by the grapevines.

“Hehehe. The effect is great.”

Uncle~nim, I should offer something at your achievement monument.

Pleased with the performance of the blessing stone, Sejun began planning a strategy to obtain more blessing stones from Uncle.

Once the soldiers were fully subdued,

“Everyone! Get him!”

Sejun pointed at Silaut.

“Meow! Got it, meow!”

Kueng!

Piyo!

Theo, Cuengi, and Piyot swiftly charged toward Silaut.

“Blackie, you’re good at exorcisms, right?”

Sejun asked Blackie while following behind the three.

Kihihit. Kking! Kking!

[Hehe. The Great Blackie can defeat even the Demon King! I’ll defeat them all!]

“Alright.”

Sejun stroked Blackie’s head, who was barking confidently, as they reached Silaut, who had been knocked out by a blow to the head from Theo.

Then,

“Go! Exorcism, Blackie!”

Kking! Kking! Kking!

[Butler! Leave it me! The Great Blackie will handle this! Blackie Family, move out!]

Thunk.

Following Sejun’s command, Blackie headbutted Silaut’s forehead along with his subordinates

Flop.

Sejun carefully picked up the unconscious members of the Blackie Family from the ground and placed them in his sling bag.

He had already confirmed how strong Blackie was during their time in the mental world of the Silent Plunderer, White Whale Mobius, so there was no need to worry.

As he waited for Blackie’s exorcism to finish,

Puhuhut.

Stamp. Stamp. Stamp.

Theo was stamping the backs of the soldiers’ heads, who had been restrained by the grapevines. His relentless diligence was truly remarkable.

***

Silaut’s Mental World.

“I am Silaut, the Demon King of Envy and Jealousy!”

Silaut screamed in desperation as he faced the giant black wolf.

But,

“I am the Great Blackie!”

You Demon King? I am the great Blackie! I win!

Thud!

Blackie effortlessly stomped on Silaut with his front paw, and the exorcism was over in an instant.

The souls that had been trapped by Silaut began to glow with a blue light as they escaped his mental world.

And then,

[You have freed 11,123 souls.]

[The effect of <Power: Soul Pacification> increases all stats by 32,580.]

With this, Blackie instantly surpassed Sejun in one go. Among the saved souls, there must have been some powerful ones, as the stat increase was tremendous.

“Guys, take this. And don’t let the butler find out, okay?”

Blackie distributed 3,000 points from his newly gained stats to each of his subordinates, while telling them to hide their power.

Sealing their strength without letting it show was an easy task for the former Apostles of Destruction.

Heheh. The butler will be surprised later, won’t he?

Blackie found it amusing that Sejun still thought he was weak.

Moreover,

‘If he thinks I’m weak, he’ll keep letting me stay in the sling bag!’

Blackie knew his butler was a bit narrow-minded, so if Sejun found out about his strength, he might stop carrying him around in the sling bag.

There was no way he could give up his spot in the sling bag, where he could feel Sejun’s warmth.

“Let’s get out now!”

With their powers hidden, the Blackie Family exited the mental realm.

***

“Hmm-hmm-hmm.”

While the Blackie Family was busy with the exorcism, Sejun, who had nothing else to do, hummed a tune as he watched Theo stamping his seals.

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, are you watching me carefully, meow?!”

“Yeah, I’m watching.”

“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!”

Theo kept checking if Sejun was watching him work, which occasionally interrupted his humming.

But,

Kyoo~ Kyoo~

Piyo~

Cuengi and Piyot sang along with him from the side, so the melody never completely stopped.

“Hmm-hmm-hmm.”

Just as Sejun started humming again

[A guardian deity for <Skudo> has not been appointed. Please designate a proxy guardian deity quickly.]

[The longer the appointment of a proxy guardian deity is delayed, the faster the pace of destruction will accelerate.]

Messages appeared urging him to designate a proxy guardian deity.

“Ah. Right.”

I forgot about that.

“Well, I could make Hamer~nim the guardian… No, wait.”

Sejun reconsidered appointing Hamer as the proxy guardian deity to give him a physical form through divine power.

Currently, Sejun could barely handle the stats he’d borrowed from other Tower Farmers, and Hamer was also busy creating enhancing elixirs.

“Then, who should I choose…?”

As Sejun pondered.

At that moment,

[Uri, the God of Loneliness, and 10 other gods ask, ‘Park Sejun, can you hear our voices?’]

A message appeared before Sejun.

Uri, the God of Loneliness, had gathered several solitary gods together, and they had collectively prayed to Sejun.

The prayer combining the wills of multiple gods became a clear enough message to reach Sejun.

Uri?!

“Yes, I can hear you. By any chance, is Uri, the God of Loneliness, the same ‘Uri’ as the grapevine Uri I named?”

Sejun asked, immediately thinking of the grapevine Uri upon hearing the name.

[Uri, the God of Loneliness, and 10 other gods confirm that it is indeed true.]

“Really?! That’s great! Congratulations on becoming a god, Uri. But what’s the matter?”

[Uri, the God of Loneliness, and 10 other gods ask if they could also have temples built for them.]

“Temples? How about being a proxy guardian deity instead?”

Sejun who needed proxy guardian deities asked

[Uri, the God of Loneliness, and 10 other gods say they would like to jointly serve as proxy guardian deities.]

“Jointly? Is that allowed? I’d like to designate Uri, the God of Loneliness, and 10 others as joint proxy guardian deities, with the allocation being one share each.”

When Sejun said this,

[A proposal has been sent to Uri, the God of Loneliness, and 10 other gods, offering the position of <Skudo>’s proxy guardian deity under the condition of an 89 to 11 allocation.]

The proposal was sent to the gods.

If it weren’t for Uri, even with 11 gods involved, Sejun would have simply allocated one share to all of them.

But then, Uri might end up being disliked, and Sejun didn’t want Uri to feel lonely there.

To ensure Uri received favorable treatment, Sejun allocated one share to each god.

A moment later…

[Uri, the God of Loneliness, and 10 other gods have accepted the position of proxy guardian deity for <Skudo>.]

[Uri, the God of Loneliness, and 10 other gods have become the proxy guardian deities for <Skudo> on behalf of Park Sejun.]

The 11 gods accepted Sejun’s proposal, and,

[You have gained command over 11 gods.]

[Due to the effect of <Title: One Who Overwhelms Gods>, all stats increase by 550, divinity increases by 22.]

By gaining control over 11 gods, Sejun achieved an unexpected result.

[Thanks to designating proxy guardian deities, you have become an unofficial guardian deity of <Skudo>.]

Just as Sejun became the unofficial guardian deity of Skudo,

“Hmm…”

Thwack!

Theo struck the back of Marin’s head, who was starting to regain consciousness, knocking him out again.

Stamp.

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I’ve stamped them all, meow! Take this, meow!”

With the final stamp on the back of Marin’s head, Theo removed the necklace around Marin’s neck and handed it to Sejun.

“Thank you.”

Crack.

Sejun crushed the heart of Silaut, the Demon King of Envy and Jealousy.

Pouring into it the envy and jealousy that had once lingered in his own heart.

Of course, if he ever found out that Blackie had become stronger than him, those feelings of envy and jealousy might flare up all over again.
