Solo Farming In The Tower

TL: Hanguk

The Great Black Dragon, Aelin Pritani, had been in a great mood lately. The human who had entered her lair due to her own mistake turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

‘I want to brag, but I have to hold back.’

She couldn’t risk exposing her mistake.

“Kroong. Kroong. Kroong.”

Aelin hummed a tune as she went to the collection warehouse, where the Pritani family had stored items they had collected for generations. The warehouse was enchanted with a preservation spell, so the items inside would always maintain their current state.

Creak.

Aelin opened the door to the warehouse. On the shelves inside were items worth billions once they were unleashed on Earth.

Aelin walked past the displayed items and stood in front of an empty shelf.

Then,

Rustle. Rustle.

She carefully placed her item on the shelf, making sure it wouldn’t break, and looked at it with pride.

The newly added collection was labeled in Korean as “Yeosan Washed Apples.”

It was the bag of washed apples that Se-jun had used to hold the dried sweet potatoes. The Yeosan Washed Apples bag had earned the honor of occupying a spot in the collection room of the Pritani family, which boasted a history of millions of years.

“Heheh. I should check what delicious food the human is making now.”

Aelin left the warehouse and sat in front of the crystal ball, watching Se-jun’s cave.

“Oh! The cat merchant has returned. That cunning fellow, just try to deceive our human again, hmph!”

The Black Dragon, Aelin Pritani, stared intently at the crystal ball, wondering if Theo would deceive Se-jun.

***

Buzz.

Announcing his arrival, Theo jumped down from the cave’s ceiling hole as soon as he heard the buzzing of the poison bees.

“We’re on the same side, meow!”

He shouted and ran, slipping into Sejun’s clothes. Then, Theo poked his head out of Sejun’s collar.

“What? You’re stretching my collar.”

“Poisonous bees are scary, meow.”

“Don’t worry. They won’t come.”

The adult poisonous bees told their offspring that Theo was on their side, so it was fine.

“Phew, that’s a relief, meow.”

Theo finally came out of Sejun’s clothes after confirming the poison bees didn’t pull out their stingers.

“Did you do what I asked?”

“Of course, meow! I completed all tasks and sold everything, meow!”

Theo answered confidently.

“So, the contract to send news to my family went well?”

“It should have, meow. Here’s the contract, meow.”

Theo handed the contract to Sejun.

As Sejun grabbed the contract,

Whirr.

At that moment, the contract burned with a blue flame, indicating it had been fulfilled. It meant that Sejun’s wellbeing and 50 million won had been successfully sent to his family.

“Good job. Let’s settle our accounts first.”

“Here it is, meow! 50 Tower coins for the contract and 14.2 Tower coins spent for the store errands, meow.”

Theo handed Sejun the amounts spent and reported.

“208.8 Tower coins?!”

Sejun was surprised by the amount, which was more than double what he had expected.

“I met a sucker this time and sold everything at a high price, meow!”

What? If a sucker is called a sucker by Theo, how much of a sucker are they?

Not knowing the trading situation, Sejun was confused about whether to believe Theo’s words.

“Alright, here’s the incentive. It’s originally 10.92 Tower coins, but I’m giving a bit more.”

Sejun playfully handed over 15 Tower coins to Theo.

“Thank you, Sejun! And I have this too!”

Theo, seemingly wanting more praise, quickly stood up and shook out the contents of his bag.

Thud.
