Solo Farming In The Tower

Chapter 292: Your Name is Now Blackie

TL: Hanguk

Purple Tower, 53rd Floor.

I found it. I must call Flamie~nim quickly.

Veronica, who found the farm on the 53rd floor of the tower under the instructions of Flamie.

Thud.

As soon as she planted a piece of root given by Flamie into the ground, the root began to send signals to Flamies roots.

Meanwhile,

Swoosh!

Veronica began dealing with the surrounding purple lizards.

I have to do well even in such tasks to receive praise.

Veronica, the Tower Farmer of the Purple Tower, who always gets scolded by Flamie for not being able to farm properly.

Wanting to hear words of appreciation from Flamie, she wielded her dual daggers diligently and started slicing through the lizards.

While Veronica was busily clearing the area,

Bang! Bang!

A giant lizard appeared.

Ugh! What is that?!

Veronica was startled by the sight of the lizards mouth.

Wriggle. Wriggle.

This was because hundreds of tentacles connected to the lizards tongue were squirming around its mouth.

Aargh! Die! Crescent Moon Beheading!

Unable to bear the disgust, Veronica swung her daggers in an X shape,

Slish. Slish.

Two crescent moon-shaped energies from her daggers quartered the giant lizards body.

Thump.

The giant lizard fell.

Phew

Veronica felt relieved as the creature that gave her goosebumps died.

Then,

-How dare someone kill my host?

Wriggle. Wriggle.

Tentacles emerged from the body of the giant lizard, forming a shape.

It was a fragment of the Apostle of Destruction, the sea-devouring monster, Kraken, occupying the sixth seat.

However,

What the hell?! What was inside it?! Moonlight Soul Cleaver!

Veronica, who had never encountered a fragment of the Apostle of Destruction before,

Thought of it as a parasitic creature inside the lizard and quickly swung her dual daggers.

Swoosh. Swoosh.

The released sword energies overlapped, creating a full moon-shaped energy with a saw-like edge that flew towards the Kraken fragment.

However,

-Chuckle. An interesting technique.

Keeng.

The Kraken fragment easily destroyed Veronicas attack with just one of its tentacles.

How could?

As Veronica was baffled by the overwhelming power of her opponent,

Swoosh.

A tentacle from the Kraken fragment swiftly flew towards her, attempting to capture her.

Then,

Rumble.

The ground vibrated, and

Thud.

A giant root burst out of the ground, piercing through the body of the Kraken fragment.

And then,

[Fire, blaze up!]

Following Flamies words,

-Arggh To die like this

The Kraken fragment burned away and disappeared.

Clang.

Leaving behind dozens of coins with tentacles drawn on them.

Pick. Pick.

[Hehe. Should I say someone gave these to me on the way to the master?]

As Flamie was excitedly picking up the coins and thinking of ways to give them to Sejun,

Thank you, Flamie~nim, for saving me.

Veronica expressed her gratitude to Flamie for saving her life.

[Oh my. If it were our master, he wouldnt have even struggled with something like this]

Flamie was about to say something to Veronica but swallowed her words.

Thinking about it, if Sejun were here, he would have been dead long ago.

Im sorry.

Flamie~nims master must be good at farming and strong. I admire him.

Thanks to this, Veronica overestimated Sejuns abilities.

[Is this the farm?]

Yes.

[Good. Lets start working.]

Rumble.

Flamie moved the roots to create a boundary for the farm and

[Yip!]

Began purifying the farm with the power of purification.

***

Nom. Nom. Nom.

Haah. It doesnt smell bad now, does it?

Puhuhut. You passed, meow! You dont smell like shit anymore, meow!

Sejun passed Theos breath test after eating dozens of vitality-infused fragrant grapes.

And then,

Vice Chairman Theo, but where did you find this one?

Finally able to speak, Sejun asked Theo about something he was curious about, regarding Fenrir.

Kking! Kking!

Im hungry! Give me food!

Piyo!

[Stay still!]

Fenrir had tried to escape as soon as he woke up earlier, so Piyot was holding the leash tightly.

Puhuhut. You mean, Whiny? I, Vice Chairman Theo, rescued it from the belly of an Apostle of Destruction, meow! So, in return for saving it, it agreed to become my subordinate, meow!

Theo answered Sejun from a very self-centered perspective.

Really? Is its name Whiny?

Sejun looked at Fenrir.

This guy is just like me.

Sejun felt an immediate kinship upon seeing Fenrir.

He sensed a strong vibe of a sunfish, even more so than himself.

For the first time, Sejun encountered a being infinitely weaker than himself.

Ill protect you.

Sejun, with his experience as a senior sunfish, decided to take care of Fenrir to ensure it wouldnt die.

Now, first

Sejun took out the Black Dragon Scale, an essential survival item for sunfish, and used it on Fenrir.

Swoosh.

Fenrirs entire body turned black.

Fenrirs magic power was too low, so the Black Dragon tattoo expanded enough to wrap around Sejuns torso, but Fenrirs body was too small for it.

As Sejun tried to fit the Black Dragon tattoo onto Fenrirs small body, the tattoo disappeared, and it just turned pitch black.

Your name is now Blackie.

Sejun thought the name Whiny was not good.

Looking at the blackened Fenrir, he impulsively named it Blackie.

It was a case of pot calling the kettle black.

You looks like a country dog and suits you well.

When Sejun was satisfied with his naming,

Kking?! Kking?!

What are you looking at?! Im annoyed because Im hungry, are you asking for a fight?!

Fenrir took a fighting stance looking at Sejun.

But,

Blackie, want some food?

When Sejun took out a piece of dried roasted sweet potato,

Kking!

Fenrir fixed its gaze on the dried sweet potato.

Snap.

Like a trained dog, it naturally sat down quietly on the floor,

Swoosh, Swoosh.

He wagged his tail eagerly and drooled.

Were you hungry? Go ahead and eat.

When Sejun gave it a piece of the dried sweet potato,

Kking!

Fenrir started to eat the dried sweet potato diligently.

And then,

!!!

Fenrir was incredibly shocked. Its delicious!

Nom. Nom. Nom.

Thus, Fenrir enjoyed its first-ever dried sweet potato.

Kking!

Fenrirs gaze at Sejun began to fill with affection.

Hehehe. Sharing food indeed makes everyone closer. Blackie, eat more.

Sejun gave another piece of dried sweet potato to Fenrir,

Nom. Nom. Nom.

And Fenrir ate it diligently.

A little later,

Gororong.

Having filled its belly with dried sweet potato, Fenrir fell asleep again.

Fenrir, still powerless, found each day overwhelmingly tiring.

Lets go to bed, everyone. Blackie might get stepped on and die if he sleeps here

Grab.

Sejun picked up Fenrir and headed to the bedroom.

***

Tower, 44th Floor.

Swoosh.

As Han Tae-jun and Kim Dong-sik arrived at the waypoint, each carrying 250kg, a total of 1000kg of kimchi and side dishes in their arms,

Youre here, peng!

The Blue-Backed Penguins guarding the waypoint hurriedly shouted at their arrival.

Then,

Dadada.

Nearby, Black Wolves and Silver Wolves hurried over,

Load it up.

They said, sitting down to be loaded with the goods.

These are temperature-sensitive, so we must be careful.

As Kim Dong-sik was loading the kimchi and side dishes, he mentioned the need for caution,

Dont worry, peng! We will maintain the temperature as we go, peng!

The Blue-Backed Penguins answered, hopping onto the wolves backs one by one.

They planned to use their ice smithing skills to maintain the temperature.

Then, were off!

With that, the wolves, carrying the penguins and food for Sejun on their backs, hurriedly started running towards the 99th floor of the tower.

***

The next morning.

Kking?

Fenrir woke up on Sejuns fluffy pillow.

And then,

Grrr.

Gororong.

Fenrir looked at Sejun and Theo, who were sleeping.

Kking!

You offered me something delicious, so Ill spare your life as a special case later!

Tap. Tap.

After tapping Sejuns face, it went outside and started to run away.

Meanwhile,

The smell similar to what I ate yesterday is coming from here.

When Fenrir smelled something similar to the dried sweet potato it ate yesterday from the sweet potato field,

Thud. Thud.

It started digging up sweet potatoes from the ground.

Crunch. Crunch.

Kking!

[I did it!]

Chomp. Chomp.

Fenrir barely managed to dig up one root of sweet potato and started eating it.

Although the texture and taste were different from what it had eaten yesterday, it was still edible.

Kking!

[Eating gives me strength!]

After filling its belly,

Kking!

[I should eat this when Im hungry again!]

Sssrk.

Dragging a sweet potato almost as big as itself, Fenrir continued to run away diligently.

When Fenrir had run away from the houses front yard for a while,

Flap. Flap.

-Who are you?

Kaiser approached upon discovering Fenrir.

Kking?!

[This is the energy of Kaiser?!]

Fenrir froze with Kaisers approach. Being discovered as Fenrir meant certain death.

Then,

Flap. Flap.

-Kaiser, whats going on?

-Whats with this dog? Did Sejun bring it to guard the house?

Kellion and Ramter also flew over to look at Fenrir.

Kking?

[Why are Kellion and Ramter here?]

Fenrir was puzzled to see the dragons.

The leaders of the dragon tribe usually guarded their own towers and didnt roam together like this.

Moreover, they usually didnt allow other dragon tribes into their towers.

-Dont know. Maybe Theo brought it.

-Theo did?

-But doesnt it emit a familiar energy?

-Hmm Now that you mention it I faintly feel the power of destruction.

-Could this be a fragment of Fenrir?

Among the 12 Apostles of Destruction, Fenrir had the closest appearance.

While the dragons were contemplating Fenrir,

Blackie!

Sejuns voice calling for Fenrir was heard.

Having woken up to find Fenrir missing,

You dare to roam around without fear, you sunfish?!

He hurriedly came out to look for it.

As Sejun approached Blackie with Theo hanging on his leg,

-Sejun, step back. I feel the energy of an Apostle of Destruction from this creature!

-Right! Step back!

-Sejun, stay away!

The dragons were trying to protect Sejun by preventing him from approaching Fenrir.

Wait please. Theo said he rescued it from the belly of an Apostle of Destruction. Maybe because its weak it got imbued with the energy of the Apostle of Destruction?

Sejun quickly explained his thoughts, fearing the dragons might kill Fenrir.

-If its a baby, then

-Is that so?

-It seems possible.

Fortunately, the dragons found Sejuns explanation more plausible.

The being in front of them was too weak to be called a fragment of Fenrir.

Fenrir, always proud to be a noble wolf, wouldnt create such an insignificant fragment.

Moreover,

Meow

Theo, even while sleeping, kept absorbing the weak energy of destruction emitted by Fenrir, which seemed likely to disappear soon.

-Well it doesnt seem to pose a danger to Sejun.

Thanks to this, Fenrir narrowly escaped death, deemed too insignificant by the dragons to harm the equally insignificant Sejun.

As the dragons suspicions faded,

Here, try this. These are freshly harvested grapes, and they are delicious.

Sejun offered the dragons vitality-infused fragrant grapes.

Meanwhile,

Thud. Thud.

As the dragons attention shifted to the grapes, Fenrir continued to run away diligently.

Kking?! Kking!

Oh?! Wait, this place is too strange!

Realizing something was off about this place, Fenrir stopped in its tracks.

Its goal was to obtain the black, round, oval fruit that Kaiser had eaten.

There was no place as suspicious as this one, guarded by Kaiser and other dragon leaders.

Kking! Kking!

Heheh. I am indeed a genius! Ive infiltrated the enemies secret base without even realizing it!

Thud. Thud.

Praising itself, Fenrir returned and sat next to Sejuns leg, looking up at him.

It absolutely, absolutely wasnt because it wanted more roasted sweet potato.

However,

Drip. Drip.

Contrary to Fenrirs thoughts, drool was overflowing from its mouth.

Then,

Whizz!

[Sejun~nim~!]

The Poisonous Honeybee Queen, having finished her royal jelly making practice, called Sejun with black royal jelly in hand.

And then,

Kking!

Thats it!

Seeing the black royal jelly, Fenrir scratched Sejuns leg with its front paws,

Kking! Kking!

[Give me that! Hand it over!]

Fenrir demanded the black royal jelly. It was black and round. It was definitely what it had been looking for.

Blackie, you want this? Hehehe. Then you must eat it.

Sejun, who was having trouble with the black royal jelly, grinned and happily placed the black royal jelly into Blackies mouth.

And then,

Kkiiing?!

[This is what Kaiser ate?!]

Fenrir fainted from the bitterness of the black royal jelly.
