Solo Farming In The Tower
Chapter 3
Crunch.
The scallion leaf was cut off with a pleasant sound, easier than expected. The texture was good as well.
Ahh.
As soon as he chewed the scallion, a spicy taste spread throughout his mouth. His body warmed up from the spiciness. His pores opened and sweat poured out like rain.
Swallowing his saliva.
Sejun wiped the flowing sweat and continued to chew the scallion. However, the expected sweetness didn’t come.
‘I thought the sweetness would be stronger because the spiciness became stronger…’
It seemed that the taste had become entirely spicy.
Gulp.
When he swallowed the scallion, the spiciness disappeared cleanly. Fortunately, it didn’t upset his stomach.
‘I can eat the scallions when I crave something spicy.’
Crunch.
Sejun continued to eat the scallions, which only had a spicy taste. For now, he had to satisfy his hunger.
So, Sejun seemed to have eaten about a foot of scallions while dripping with sweat. Somehow, the more he sweated, the lighter his body felt.
Crunch. Crunch.
Sejun, who filled his stomach with scallions, mercilessly broke the scallions that provided shade in his spot. It was not because he was venting his anger since there was no sweetness at all.
‘Well… let’s not say it’s absolute. I was a little hopeful.’
He laid the broken scallions in a place well-exposed to sunlight. Today, he started his work a little late because of the scallions, but it didn’t matter. The work was…
Drip, drip, drip.

“……”
Staring blankly at the hole in the ceiling.
Still, something had appeared to relieve his boredom.
When he stared blankly at the ceiling for a while, the scallions had grown significantly in the meantime.
“Do scallions usually grow this fast?”
He even checked the time on his smartphone to see if it was just his imagination. The scallions grew about 10cm per hour. An astonishing growth rate. Sejun, who had no farming experience, thought this was impossible.
“Is it because they were grown in the tower?”
There was nothing else to suspect. They were just scallions that he had bought from the market. If the seeds had truly been scallions that grew 10cm per hour, they would have been called golden scallions.
“But there’s no growth from these guys.”
Sejun glanced at the spots where he had planted cherry tomatoes and sweet potatoes next to the scallions. If the soil was the reason for the scallions’ miraculous growth, then other things would grow well too.
However, there was no change in the ground.
“Is this soil only suitable for growing scallions?”
With a suspicious mind, he looked more closely.
“Huh?!”
Upon closer inspection, the soil where the sweet potatoes were planted remained the same, but the soil where the cherry tomatoes were planted seemed slightly bulging. Sejun lay down on the ground and stared intently at the bulging soil.
“Ah!”
There it was!
(…i…)
A green stem with a shiny yellow head emerged shyly between the soil, revealing its appearance.
“One, two, three…”
There were a total of 52 sprouts. Sejun stared at the cherry tomato sprouts for a long time.
“Hehehe. So cute.”
He felt a sense of pride just by looking at the plants he had grown himself and seeing them grow so well. It made him feel accomplished.

[May 15th, 6:00 am]
Sejun welcomed the 6th day’s morning. Yesterday, he spent the whole day just looking at the cherry tomato sprouts. They didn’t grow as fast as the scallions, but watching them grow little by little over time made him feel full even without eating.
“Ha!”
Sejun got up lightly from his seat. Lately, his body was getting lighter day by day. At first, he thought it was because the fatigue from overwork had been relieved, but recently, he began to think that it might not be the case.
