Solo Farming In The Tower

Chapter 443: Theo Park, You Scoundrel!

TL: Hanguk

“Meow meow meow.”

Theo was spending a blissful time lying on Sejun’s lap before going to work.

At that moment,

[Hel, God of Merchants, bestows 10 drops of Harvest Elixir.]

A message sent by Hel appeared before Theo.

Even though 10 drops of Harvest Elixir were worth nearly 1 trillion Tower Coins,

“Meow?!”

Not enough, meow!

Frowning at the small glass bottle held in his front paw, Theo was displeased.

Theo had always disliked how the great Chairman Park struggled over getting a few drops of Harvest Elixir.

Puhuhut. Hel, God of Merchants, nice to meet you, meow! Then it’s a battle, meow! I will defeat you with the skills passed down by the great Chairman Park, meow!

Suddenly burning with competitiveness, he challenged Hel to a match.

‘Stingy, meow! Give me more, meow!’

It was Vice Chairman Theo’s pestering technique, adapted from Chairman Park’s secret technique of haggling 3 times!

So he used his secret technique to pester for more.

He did not make any sound outwardly. It was to show off to Sejun after he defeated Hel, God of Merchants.

Then,

[Hel, God of Merchants, gets angry and says that you have been so exploited by Park Sejun that you have lost your sense, and 10 drops of Harvest Elixir are more than enough.]

Hel responded angrily.

‘Did you just disrespect the great Chairman Park, meow?! Moreover, Chairman Park doesn’t exploit me, meow!’

Furious at Hel for calling Sejun a bad person, Theo’s chest burned with anger.

Who was it that gave me grilled fish and Churu when I was just a worthless wandering merchant cat who had been scammed, meow?!

Who was it that offered their lap, meow?!

Who was it that made me a Legendary Merchant, meow?!

It was none other than the great and glorious Chairman Park, meow!

And you dare insult such a great Chairman Park, meow?!

Unforgivable, meow!

‘Haak! Haak! Haak! You’ve done terribly wrong, so sign this contract, meow!’

Theo, fuming with anger, pulled out a slave contract.

Of course, the slave contract Theo brought out didn’t get delivered to Hel,

How can there be a guy like this?

It was enough to startle Hel.

What being would dare to present a slave contract for a god to sign?

Could it be that Park Sejun is just a puppet chairman and this cat is the real mastermind?

While Hel was suspecting Theo as the mastermind,

I’ll punish you, meow! But how should I punish you, meow?

Theo was pondering how to punish Hel, God of Merchants.

Meow! That’s it, meow!

‘I’ll impeach Hel, God of Merchants, meow!’

Since he couldn’t punish the other party because they were a god, he decided to first make them step down from being a god.

And then,

[Black Tower’s Legendary Merchant Theo Park, attempts to impeach Hel, God of Merchants.]

[Slaves Black Tower’s Legendary Merchant Mimyr and Black Tower’s Legendary Merchant Uren automatically agree with Black Tower’s Legendary Merchant Theo Park’s opinion.]

[A Legendary Merchant’s vote counts as 2 votes.]

[Three legendary merchants of the Black Tower agree to impeach Hel, God of Merchants, resulting in 6 votes in favor.]

[6 votes, which is over 25% of the total 20 votes, are in favor of impeaching Hel, God of Merchants.]

[Voting for the impeachment of Hel, God of Merchants begins.]

[If 5 more votes are cast in favor within a year, Hel, God of Merchants, will be impeached.]

In an instant, the impeachment vote for Hel began.

You crazy bastard!!! What did I do wrong for you to impeach me?!

Hel, God of Merchants, was dumbfounded.

But at the same time, she felt an immense sense of crisis.

There are 16 legendary merchants in the Nine Towers: 4 in the Black Tower and 12 in other towers.

‘But what if Theo makes the remaining Black Tower’s Legendary Merchant his slave, and goes to other towers to make 3 more Legendary Merchants his slaves?’

I’ll really be impeached!

[Hel, God of Merchants, pleads you to cancel the impeachment in exchange for all the Harvest Elixir she has.]

‘Give it quickly, meow!’

Puhuhut. I won, meow!

Hel hurriedly transferred all the Harvest Elixir she had to Theo.

[Hel, God of Merchants, bestows 45 drops of Harvest Elixir.]

And then,

‘Puhuhut. I will cancel it, meow!’

Theo canceled the impeachment of Hel.

[Hel, God of Merchants, thanks you.]

Thus, the tables turned between Hel and Theo.

‘Puhuhut. Now, pay the price for slandering the great Chairman Park, meow!’

The final part of the pestering technique was left, meow!

Theo ramped up his efforts for the last pestering.

[Hel, God of Merchants, complains that the Harvest Elixir she just gave is already of tremendous value.]

‘Puhuhut. Then it’s impeachment, meow!’

Theo, who could always exercise 6 votes including Mimyr and Uren’s votes.

[Black Tower’s Legendary Merchant Theo Park, attempts to impeach Hel, God of Merchants.]

…

..

.

He could start an impeachment vote that could impeach Hel at any time.

[Hel, God of Merchants, sighs and says that this is really precious.]

So Theo was the mastermind after all!

Finally realizing the situation, Hel, with a tearful face, sent an item from her closet to Theo.

[Hel, God of Merchants, bestows the Thunder, God of Storms’ divine relic Thunderbolt Staff.]

Puhuhut. Negotiation successful, meow!

Although it was clearly a case of threats and intimidation, Theo proudly called it a negotiation, a statement that would have made Hel feel unjustly treated if she had heard it.

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, look at this, meow!”

Theo handed Sejun the glass vial containing 55 drops of Harvest Elixir and a golden metal staff he received from Hel.

“This is Harvest Elixir? Huh?! 55 drops?! And this is a Divine Relic?! Vice Chairman Theo, where did you suddenly get these?”

Sejun asked in great surprise when Theo, who had been playing on his lap, suddenly handed over such amazing items.

[Thunderbolt Staff]

→ A Divine Relic used by Thunder, God of Storms, in battle.

→ It contains the first thunderbolt and can harness the power of lightning at will.

→ When placed where lightning strikes, it absorbs the lightning to recharge its power. (Current charge: 10%)

→ Usage restriction: Those with <Power: Calm Before the Storm>

→ Creator: Thunder, God of Storms

→ Grade: ★★★

It seemed that the Divine Relic Thunderbolt Staff was made especially for Cuengi, who uses clubs.

“Puhuhut. I won against someone called Hel and received these, meow!”

“Hel?”

“Yes, meow! Hel is the God of Merchants, meow!”

“Really? But since she’s a god, you should call her Hel-nim out of respect.”

Hehe. Considering she gave such nice things, attaching a ‘-nim’ to her name is the least we can do.

“Got it, meow! I will call her Hel-nim from now on, meow!”

As expected of Theo, who listened well to Sejun, immediately changed the way he addressed Hel.

“I should make something for Hel-nim.”

She gave such amazing things, but ‘Hel Road’ feels a bit lacking…

Sejun contemplated a new temple for Hel, and

“Alright. This time let’s go with an monument this time. Land Moving!”

Sejun used his hoe to erect a 3-meter tall monument next to the Creator God’s Tablet.

[Hel Monument]

– Hel, God of Merchants, who gave us 55 drops of Harvest Elixir and the Divine Relic Thunderbolt Staff. She was a god who knew business ethics.

He inscribed Hel’s achievements in words in front of the monument.

At that moment,

Hel, who had been extorted of immensely valuable items by due to Theo’s threats.

“Leah, it’s all your fault! I got totally extorted by Theo! Theo, you scoundrel!”

Hel yelled in frustration at Leah, who had encouraged her to invest in Sejun.

“Hel, just wait a little. I’m telling you, Park Sejun will do something.”

“No! As long as that scoundrel Theo is around, I’m doomed! Soon, Theo will extort everything and I’ll end up a beggar! Huaaah!”

As Hel was crying and whining to Leah,

[Park Sejun, the Tower Farmer of the Black Tower, has built a temple for you.]

[Divine Power increases by 100.]

[The amount of divine power gained doubles due to receiving the Creator God’s blessing as the temple’s location is next to the Creator God’s Tablet.]

[10,000 Mushroom Ants, tenant farmers of Park Sejun, the Tower Farmer of the Black Tower, have seen your temple.]

[Divine Power increases by 2.]

[The third Apostle of Creation, Blackie Park, has seen your temple.]

[Divine Power increases by 4.]

[100,000 Calamity Guardian Destruction Devourers, have seen your temple.]

[Divine Power increases by 1000.]

…

..

.

Messages appeared.

Unlike with the roads, the monument increased divine power just by being seen, without needing to be stepped on.

“Huh?!”

What’s this?!

At the same time, an enormous amount of divine power entered Hel’s body, making her body shine brightly.

104.28.193.250

“See! I told you investing in Park Sejun was a good idea, right?”

Phew. I’m saved! Park Sejun, I knew I could trust you!

Leah, who had been slightly anxious, sighed in relief and asked Hel boastfully.

“Yes! Park Sejun is the best!”

What incredible divine power!

Hel, who had stopped whining by now, gave a thumbs up and grinned widely.

And

The returns on investment are quite impressive!

Hel started rummaging through items to invest in Sejun while mentally calculating with an abacus.

***

Sejun, who had obtained 55 drops of Harvest Elixir.

“I should use this Harvest Elixir on…”

I should use it on Harvest Elixir on the Thick Darkness Cherry, Sunflower Seed, and Sundried Red Pepper.

The Thick Darkness Cherry and Sunflower Seed were to restore the power of darkness and light to the black dragon and white dragon, respectively.

If I bring 10,000 Sundried Red Peppers to the White Tower, they’ll tell me the location of the sealed sun, right?

The Sundried Red Peppers were to bring daytime to the White Tower, which only had night.

Thus, Sejun used 20 drops on the Thick Darkness Cherry, 20 drops on the Sunflower Seed, and 15 drops on the Sundried Red Pepper.

[You have harvested Sundried Red Peppers.]

…

..

.

By evening, he harvested 30,000 Sundried Red Peppers.

After a while,

“Alright. Ajax, are you ready?”

[The White Tower’s Slave says he’s currently with Grandpa in the White Tower’s administrator area.]

Since Sejun couldn’t meet Ajax due to his awakening, so he sent Ajax to the administrator’s area.

“Okay, Move.”

Upon hearing Ajax’s response, Sejun used waypoint to move to the 99th floor of the White Tower.

And then,

[You have arrived on the 99th floor of the White Tower.]

[The surrounding area is filled with magic power.]

Sejun was exposed to the immense magic power emitted by Ajax to cultivate the Elixir: Cherry Tomato Imbued with Powerful Magic Power.

In the past, Sejun would have struggled even to breathe, but

“Oh. I feel energized?”

Now, he had reached a level where he could leisurely enjoy such an environment.

[The efficiency of Talent: Accumulating Magic Circuit increases, accelerating the speed of accumulating magic power.]

[Magic power accumulates permanently by 0.1 every 3 hours.]

Thanks to this, the speed of accumulating magic power also increased.

“Then shall I take them out?”

Sejun took out 10,000 Sundried Red Peppers from the leather pouch tied to his waist.

Then,

[You have brought 10,000 Sundried Red Peppers to the White Tower.]

[The quest has been completed.]

[You have received 5 drops of Harvest Elixir as a quest completion reward.]

[10,000 Sundried Red Peppers burn brightly to find the location of the sun sealed in the White Tower.]

With the message, the Sundried Red Peppers began to burn vigorously, brightening the surroundings.

After about 10 minutes,

[The location of the sun sealed in the White Tower has been found.]

[The sealed sun is on the 67th floor of the tower.]

A message appeared, and

[A quest has been generated.]

…

..

.

Subsequently, a quest appeared saying that breaking the sun’s seal would achieve a great accomplishment.

The reward was 10 drops of Harvest Elixir.

“Let’s head back for now.”

Since he first needed to find the land deed for the 67th floor of the White Tower, Sejun returned to the Black Tower, and spent three days in his ordinary routine.

***

The first floor of the 10th tower.

“Huff… huff… So persistent…”

After fighting Flamie for five days, Stella, who had no decisive blow to completely subdue the infinitely recovering Flamie, was exhausted.

[Are you going to continue?! I can fight for another 100 days! Hurry up and take back what you said about my master!]

“Huff… huff… Alright. I take back what I said about Park Sejun. I take it back.”

In the end, exhausted and unable to move, Stella surrendered to Flamie, who had been strangling her with roots.

To be precise, no matter how much Flamie strangled her, it did no damage, but Stella just surrendered because it was annoying.

Thus, Flamie who had obtained Stella’s surrender.

[But who is that person?]

She asked, looking at the man who had been watching her and Stella while eating popcorn for a while.
