Solo Farming In The Tower-Chapter 26Vol 2. : Welcome to the Kindergarten of Destruction! ()
[You have arrived on the 44th Floor of the Black Tower.]
After lunch, Sejun and his group arrived on the 44th Floor via the waypoint to pick up Queng and Iona.
Queng!
[Dad, da yo!]
“Kkyutkkyutkkyut. Vice Chairman Theo!”
Queng and Iona, who had been waiting in advance, flew over joyfully.
“Queng, did you see your mom?”
Kkuhehehe. Queng! Queng!
[Hehehe. I did, da yo! And I was awesome too, da yo!]
“What do you mean awesome?”
Queng!
[Queng saved Mr. Elka’s youngest daughter...]
As Sejun listened to Queng explain how he saved Elka’s youngest daughter, Elloi—
“Puhuhut. Iona, nice to see you, nya!”
“Kkyutkkyutkkyut. Me too.”
Iona wrapped herself in Theo’s tail, soaking in the warmth, and Theo gently patted her head.
And then—
Kkihihit. Kking!
[Hihit. Brother Queng and Sister-in-law! Let’s play with the great Kkamang!]
Kkamang invited the two to play, but—
Queng?!
[Kkamang, can’t you see I’m talking with my dad right now, da yo?!]
“Kkyutkkyutkkyut. I don’t have time to play right now. Go somewhere else.”
Kking...
Rejected by both sides, Kkamang was heartbroken.
You’re both mean. Refusing to play with the great Kkamang...
Kkamang, looking dejected, buried his face under Sejun’s thigh.
You dumb Kkamang, if you can’t read the room, how are you going to keep mooching food?
Sejun patted Kkamang’s butt gently, comforting him.
Thus, the noisy reunion after just one day apart ended.
“Sejun-nim, welcome!”
“Yeah. Good to see you, kids.”
Since he was on the 44th floor, Sejun visited the ice island inhabited by the blue-backed penguin tribe to buy some necessities.
What he needed were spoons and bowls for eating ice cream. The penguins used a secret ice-smelting technique that kept the utensils cold and prevented the ice cream from melting.
“I’ll take 20 spoons, 20 bowls, and 5 storage containers.”
As Sejun made his selection—
“Puhuhut. Let’s haggl—!”
Theo was about to initiate his triple haggling routine, but—
“Just take it for free!”
“Puhuhut. Nice, nya!”
The blue-backed penguins refused to accept payment upfront.
Instead—
“Could we get a little bit of Extreme Cold Peanuts in return?”
“Puhuhut. You gave your goods to the great hybrid Chairman Park for free, so I’ll give you lots of Extreme Cold Peanuts, nya!”
They received much more in value than the items’ worth.
This isn’t even bait-and-switch...
Sejun chuckled at Theo’s ridiculousness.
After buying the supplies, Sejun returned to Earth.
“Huh?”
Why is this here?
Next to the Black Tower, a White Tower now stood tall.
Thanks to Kellion’s efforts, the White Tower had finally descended onto Earth.
“Hmm...”
Sejun had a strong feeling that asking Kellion why the White Tower had appeared would be a pain.
Let’s pretend I didn’t see it.
He quietly walked past the White Tower and went home.
***
San Francisco, USA.
“Let’s begin the meeting. At around 11:30 AM today, White Towers suddenly appeared in the capitals of several countries. According to our latest investigation, even hunters from the Black Tower can’t enter the White Tower.”
William Smith, chairman of the World Awakened Association, addressed dozens of monitor screens showing the heads of various national awakeners’ associations.
“Probably requires a ticket. Soon, like the Black Tower, there’ll be a Vanishing and tickets will start appearing, don’t you think?”
The French Awakened Association’s chairman offered his opinion.
The meeting began to mirror their earlier approach with the Black Tower: planning tower management.
But the meeting wasn’t what ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) they truly cared about.
This time, we’re going to be the first to farm inside the White Tower!
They were all thinking only about becoming the tower farmers of the White Tower and securing crops first.
Currently, Sejun sold tower crops at auction, but if the state could manage the crops, they could greatly boost their own hunters’ power.
So everyone was biding their time, waiting for an opportunity in the White Tower.
To them, it was like discovering a new continent.
Fools. Sejun-nim has already conquered that place too.
Han Tae-jun looked at the other leaders with pity. He knew this because of what Sejun had told him.
Of course, he didn’t share it. If he did, it would just bring more interference. Just being allied with Sejun already brought enough opposition from other nations.
As the meeting was wrapping up—
“Chairman, we have an additional report!”
A staffer rushed in.
“What is it?”
He whispered something into William’s ear.
“Everyone, it appears... a Red Tower has also appeared.”
The meeting got even longer.
***
“Puhuhut. Great hybrid Chairman Park, a Red Tower appeared too, nya!”
Theo, hanging onto Sejun’s lap, spotted the Red Tower now landing on Earth and shouted.
“Huh? What the hell are those old dragons doing? Did they decide to immigrate all at once?”
Sejun frowned at the Red Tower rising next to the White Tower. It gave him a bad feeling, like something terrible was going to happen.
When I enter the tower later, I’ll ask Kaiser-nim to kick them out.
Sejun didn’t have the guts to say it directly to the elders, so he planned to go through Kaiser.
As he was walking—
“Imperial Palace!”
“Best!”
“Imperial Palace!”
“Strongest!”
Cheers rang out from the Imperial Kindergarten.
“They’re working hard too.”
Sejun smiled, admiring their effort.
But then—
“Destruction!”
“Down with them!”
“Destruction!”
“Weaklings!”
New chants rang out from the Imperial Kindergarten.
You brats!
Sejun’s smile vanished.
Despicable adults, brainwashing innocent kids just to win the sports day?!
“We can’t lose to them!”
Our chant from now on will be...
Sejun started thinking up new chants as he headed toward the Kindergarten of Destruction.
Soon, he arrived at the kindergarten.
Clack.
As he opened the front door—
“Sejun!”
[Hehe. Sejun-nim, welcome back!]
“Daddy~!”
“”Daddy’s back!””
Aileen, Flamy, Pajama-wearing Taecho, and the kids all rushed over to greet him.
They had been about to take a nap but came running in joy when Sejun arrived.
“Guys, if you nap now, you can play again later.”
Sejun led the kids to their room, laid Taecho and Dongdong-i on each side, and patted their bellies.
Pat, pat.
The rest of the group also took charge of other kids and gently put them to sleep by patting their bellies. Soon, everyone was napping.
Once the kids were asleep, Sejun and the group enjoyed coffee and snacks.
“Ahh. So good.”
“Hehehe. Yummy.”
“Puhuhut. I’m sleepy, nya...”
“Kkyutkkyutkyut. Me too...”
[Hehe. Sejun-nim’s head under the sunlight is the tastiest spot.]
Kkuhehehe. Kking!
[Hehehe. Rice cake with honey water is the best, da yo!]
Kkihihit. Kking...
[Hihit. Butler, I’m sleepy...]
They enjoyed a peaceful break.
Then—
Buzz.
Sejun’s smartphone rang.
[Se-dol]
It was Sejun’s younger brother, Se-dol.
“Hello?”
“Hyung. It’s me.”
“Yeah? What’s up?”
“I need to talk about Queng’s café opening.”
Sejun was currently working with Se-dol to start a café.
Se-dol had already become a successful café owner, selling the finest beans from the 99th Floor—‘Black Tower 94 Chikasan Sejun’—supplied by Sejun.
So when Queng was getting roasted on SNS, Se-dol had quietly stepped in to cover for him. Though no one noticed.
“You at home?”
“Yeah.”
“Then I’ll come over. Hang up. Aileen, wanna come with me to my house?”
“Yeah!”
“Then let’s go. Flamy, if the kids wake up, send my clone to tell me.”
[Okay!]
Sejun and his group headed for the main house.
As they stepped out of the kindergarten—
“Huh? Sejun, why are the White and Red Towers here?”
Aileen, finally noticing the other towers, asked.
“I don’t know. Let’s just pretend we don’t see them.”
“No, this is weird. I’m going to see Grandpa real quick. Come pick me up around 9.” fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
“Want me to take you to the tower?”
“No, flying will be quicker. I’m going now.”
“Okay. See you later.”
“Yeah!”
She responded and instantly turned into a black dot, flying toward the Black Tower, while Sejun climbed over the wall into the house.
And then—
“Why are you climbing the wall when there’s a door?! Are you a thief?!”
“I’d have to walk ten extra steps to the door and ring the bell. Too annoying.”
“Then why do you bother eating or putting on clothes if you’re that lazy?!”
“That’s different!”
“What’s different?! Did you eat lunch?”
Sejun got nagged by Kim Miran. Despite being the strongest being on Earth, in front of his mom, Sejun was just a regular son.
“I ate.”
He answered curtly.
“Do you have side dishes at home? Need more? I made new kimchi.”
“Then pack one container.”
“One container? For how many people live here? Just take what I give you without whining.”
Without listening to him, Kim Miran started packing kimchi and all sorts of side dishes.
Then—
“Hey. I’m here.”
Sejun opened Se-dol’s door and walked in.
“Hyung, you’re here?”
Wearing a blue shirt and horn-rimmed glasses, Se-dol turned and greeted him.
“Ooh, since becoming the CEO of ThreeStone, you look kind of cool now?”
Sejun teased. Running a café and hiring people had changed Se-dol’s image.
Not that Sejun, as Chairman of Sejun Company with millions of employees, looked any different himself. He was just...
“Ah, this was Sera’s idea...”
Se-dol scratched his head awkwardly.
Right. It wasn’t because he became a CEO. It was because his girlfriend Sera coordinated his look.
By the way, the company name "ThreeStone" was something Se-dol came up with himself. His name Se-dol literally meant "Three Stones," and he just wrote it in English.
Apparently, Sejun’s awful naming sense ran in the family.
At that moment—
‘Kkyutkkyutkkyut. Suddenly, I’m curious.’
Then who named Sejun-nim?
Iona suddenly had a question. If Se-dol’s name was that bad, then Sejun’s dad, Park Chun-ho, was clearly terrible at naming.
But—
‘Sejun-nim’s name is... normal?’
Sejun’s name was surprisingly normal. A break from the family curse.
Strange.
I’ll have to ask Miran-nim.
As a curious scholar and mage, Iona quietly slipped off Theo’s tail.
“Hmhmhm.”
“Kkyutkkyutkkyut. Miran-nim, I have a question.”
Kim Miran was humming as she packed Sejun’s side dishes.
“Hmm? What’s my cute little hamster lady curious about?”
“Kkyutkkyutkkyut. Who named Sejun-nim?”
“Hohoho. Of course I did. If his dad had done it...”
Her tone suddenly sharpened.
“Do you know what Sejun’s original name was, the one his dad picked?!”
“Kkyutkkyutkkyut. What was it?!”
Finally, the secret behind Sejun’s name is being revealed?!
Eyes sparkling, Iona leaned in.
“Sejul! It was Sejul! Haa... just thinking about it still gets me... Hold on, this is a long story. Let’s eat some peanuts while we talk.”
Kim Miran placed a dish of stir-fried peanuts in front of Iona and began her tale in earnest.
