Solo Farming In The Tower

Chapter 320: Harvesting Pears

Chapter 320: Harvesting Pears

TL: Hanguk

[You have arrived at the 81st floor of the Black Tower.]

[You have moved from the top floor, the 99th floor of the tower, to the 81st floor.]

[You have descended 18 floors.]

[Due to the effect of the , all stats have increased by 18.]

Sejun arrived at the 81st floor.

Splash.

The first thing to greet Sejun was an enormous amount of water.

Huh?!

Sejun was taken aback by the unexpected surrounding environment,

Gulp.

and unknowingly swallowed the water that flowed into his mouth.

Then,

[A quest has occurred]

The quest message appeared, but

Ugh.

He couldnt catch his breath! Breathing came first; there was no time to check the message.

Sejun hurriedly surfaced for air.

15 meters to the surface.

The water was quite deep, but

Swish-swish-swish.

With just three kicks, Sejun reached the surface. Heh, for advanced swimmer Park Sejun, this was nothing.

Of course, it was more about the strength stat than his swimming skills.

Considering his strength stat was nearly approaching 1000, it was questionable whether he really belonged in the advanced swimming class.

Puhah!

Having surfaced, Sejun took a deep breath.

Clink.

While catching his breath on the surface, he summoned the void storage and opened its door.

And then,

Chairman Park! I missed you, meow!

The moment the door opened, Theo flew towards Sejuns face.

Heyargh!

Puhuhut. That ticklesmeow?!

Theo unintentionally received a belly fart from Sejun.

Grab.

You little

Sejun grabbed the scruff of Theos neck, who was squirming from the tickling,

Splash.

Meow?

used him as a makeshift tube, dunking him in the water. Thanks to Theos water affinity talent, used for waterproofing, he floated well on the surface.

Swish.

Chairman Park, why is it like this here, meow?

Theo turned his body around on the water, showing his stomach to Sejun, and asked. He looked like an otter.

I dont know. Lets find out now.

Sejun answered and checked the message he hadnt been able to read due to breathlessness.

[Quest: For unknown reasons, the surrounding river has overflowed, flooding the farm and turning it into a lake. Restore the flooded farm to its original state within one week.]

Reward: Recognized as the rightful owner of the 81st floor farm of the Black Tower

Failure: The pear tree farm will disappear.

Unknown reasons?

This is somewhat like that theres probably a huge force behind this.

But how do we drain the water in a week?

For a moment, Sejuns mind wandered, trying to figure out how to drain the lake.

Then,

Boom.

Suddenly, a giant boat was thrown into the water from the void storage.

Kueng!

[The Cuengis boat is deploying!]

Yay! Go!

Piyo!

[Lets Go!]

Kking!

I dont want to go!

On the boat were Cuengi, Ajax, Piyot, and Blackie.

Seeing the lake outside, Cuengi had taken out the Cuengis boat from the void storage.

Kueng!

[Dad, Im boarding the Cuengis boat!]

Float-float.

Cuengi used telekinesis to lift Sejun out of the water and onto the Cuengis boat.

Thanks.

Sejun thanked Cuengi and looked around.

This is a volcano.

Sejun saw the pear tree farm surrounded by mountains, with water levels risen up to the height of the mountains.

But where is the river? Cuengi, lets go up to the sky.

Kueng!

[Got it! Float!]

At Sejuns command, Cuengi raised the Cuengis boat high into the sky,

Wow.

revealing a vast river that could almost be called a sea. The pear tree farm on the volcano was right in the middle of the gently flowing river.

But how did the river flood up to here?

Sejun spoke, bewildered.

The difference in elevation between the surrounding volcano and the rivers surface was over 30 meters. Even if the river overflowed, filling this basin with water wasnt easy.

Even so, one thing was clear. Since there was a river nearby, breaking the mountain to drain the water was not an option.

Then

Sejun fell into thought for a moment.

Cuengi, want to play in the water?

Sejun let Cuengi play in the water in an enlarged state.

Since the basin inside the volcano was quite wide, it was fine as long as Cuengi did not step on the pear trees.

Kueng!

[Great! Cuengi will grow as big as possible!]

As Cuengi enlarged,Nnêw n0vel chapters are published on

Theo, who had returned after dumping a bag full of ice into the river, clung to Sejuns legs.

And then,

Puhuhut. Leave it to me now, Chairman Park, meow! Guys, follow me, meow!

As Theo boasted to Sejun,

Gurgle, gurgle.

The waters began to approach Theo.

Finally, Theo was using his water affinity talent as intended.

As Theo drained the water from the farm,

Land Moving!

Sejun used Mylers hoe to strike the ground,

Boom, boom.

raising the land around the farm to prevent water from entering.

Once all the water from the farm was completely drained,

[The pear tree farm has been restored to its original state.]

[The quest has been completed.]

[You are recognized as the rightful owner of the pear tree land deed on the 81st floor of the Black Tower.]

[Land Deed Skill: Farm Information Lv. Max is activated.]

The quest was completed.

Alright. Shall we harvest the pears now?

Pluck.

Sejun, now the owner of the farm, harvested a pear.

And then,

[You have harvested a Pear of Mild Strength and Stamina.]

[Your job experience points have slightly increased.]

[Your proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 8 has slightly increased.]

[You have gained 70 experience points.]

[You do not accumulate experience points because you have not completed a job quest.]

The message appeared.

Huh?

Mild?! Sejun was taken aback and checked the options of the pear. After all the effort to drain the water it would have been a complete waste if the taste was bland.

[Pear of Mild Strength and Stamina]

A pear produced by a pear tree grown inside the tower, which absorbed sufficient nutrients.

The pear became bland and enlarged after absorbing a lot of water when submerged.

If left in a dry place to evaporate 10L of moisture, it will return to its original size and regain its taste.

Consumption increases strength and stamina by 1 each.

Cultivator: Tower Farmer Park Sejun

Expiration date: 150 days

Grade: A

Phew. Thats a relief

Sejun sighed in relief after reading the description. Fortunately, there was a way to make the pear tasty again.

Lets harvest them first. Ajax, help me.

Sure! Hyung!

While Sejun and Ajax were harvesting pears,

Thump.

Cuengis boat, moving along the river, collided with a giant tree root.

Kueng?

[Flamie noona, were you here too?]

It was Flamie.

[Yes. Sejun nim was looking for pears here?]

*****

Kueng!

[Yes! But, Flamie noona, do you know why the river overflowed?]

Cuengi asked Flamie about the reason for the rivers overflow.

[Overflow? Why would that?]

Kueng!

[Dad wants to know what caused the pear tree farm to be submerged!]

Master Sejun wants to know?! What do I do?! Flamie was panicked by Cuengis response. It was natural because Flamie was the one who caused the river to overflow.

Moving her roots had caused the river to overflow.

Flamie was the culprit behind submerging the pear tree farm.

If Master Sejun finds out, he will hate me! What should I do?

Flamie fell into worry.

Then,

Ah!

Flamie hastily snatched up a giant monster that was passing by near her roots.

And then,

[Ah! I know who did it!]

Kueng?!

[Who is it?!]

[This guy!]

Flamie showed Cuengi the creature she had just caught with her roots.

-You fiend! Do you know who I am?! I am the Apostle of

Cuengi, who had been thoroughly educated by Ajax and others yesterday that Apostles of Destruction must be eliminated on sight,

Kueng!

[Its a bad guy!]

Bang!

Cuengi attacked the Apostle of Destruction immediately,

Clang.

and the Apostle of Destruction, Leviathan, the serpent that summons tsunamis, one of the 12 Seats of Destruction, disappeared, leaving behind 7 green coins.

Kuehehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehe. Cuengi has solved the case!]

Cuengi, having removed the cause of the flood, beamed with the thought of boasting to Sejun.

[Right. Good job, Cuengi. But you cant tell Master Sejun that you saw me, okay?]

Kueng! Kueng!

[Got it! Then, Ill be going back!]

Cuengi navigated Cuengis boat upstream with telekinesis.

[Hehehe.]

Thanks to this, Flamie managed not to reveal her size to Sejun today as well.
