Solo Farming In The Tower

TL: Hanguk

“Meow, meow, meow.”

As soon as Theo came out of the passageway from the 60th to the 50th floor, humming a tune,

“I must hurry, meow. The humans are waiting, meow!”

He hurriedly entered the passage leading from the 50th floor to the 40th floor.

“Is that him?”

Three silver wolves, who had been hiding, appeared as soon as Theo disappeared. They belonged to the Silver Wolf tribe, their tribe had earned money by working as free mercenaries in the tower for generations.

Now, they were on a mission commissioned by Grid, the landlord of the 55th floor, to recover a stolen item. It was a ordinary straw hat, an item that could be found anywhere.

They didn’t know why Landlord Grid wanted an ordinary straw hat. But it didn’t matter. They were mercenaries who moved for a fee.

So, the only clue they found by mobilizing their entire tribe was that one of the thieves had handed over the straw hat along with other stolen goods to the blacksmith’s shop in the 75th floor shopping area.

While tracing the straw hat with that one clue, one of the blacksmith’s employees remembered who bought the straw hat.

“A wandering merchant cat with yellow fur bought it from the lottery corner.”

So, they traced the traveling merchant cats with yellow fur and learn that Theo was last seen appearing here, and they are lying in wait.

“Chief Elka, what should we do?”

“Let’s keep following him for now.”

They were mercenaries, but due to the agreement between the Free Mercenary Association and the Wandering Merchant Association, mercenaries could also use the merchant’s passage if they paid a usage fee.

So, the three silver wolves followed Theo into the merchant’s passage.

And then,

“Why are the Silver Wolves here?”

Jeras, who was also waiting to tail Theo, quickly entered the merchant’s passage.

Unaware he was being followed, Theo headed for the 38th floor, where the humans were waiting.

Day 186 of being stranded.

After having lunch on the surface, Sejun took a nap with the black rabbit and the baby bear, then went down to the cave.

And then,

Snip.

While he was harvesting the branch of the cherry tomato,

Squeak.

Meep.

The husband rabbit came with the sickle rabbit and pointed at the cornfield. The cornstalks were left lush with green stems after the corn harvest.

“Why the cornfield?”

Sejun didn’t know whether the corn would grow back like the cherry tomatoes or if he needed to completely cut it down and replant it, so he had left the cornstalks unattended.

Meep!

The sickle rabbit gestured as if cutting down the base of the cornstalk in the cornfield.

“Oh, do I need to cut this?”

Squeak.

The husband rabbit nodded his head. It seemed that he needed to cut it down and replant it.

So, Sejun finished harvesting the cherry tomatoes and cut down the cornstalks.

Snip. Snip.

Sejun tied the cut cornstalks with a rope and moved them to the surface. Lately, he had been covering the area where he planted crops with green onion leaves and branches of cherry tomato plants.

The reason was to prevent the moisture from evaporating due to the sun. By doing this, the watering period could be delayed a little, allowing him to spare some labor for other tasks.

“Pull!”

Growling and groaning, the bear cub pulled up the cornstalks tied in bundles of 40. In this way, a total of 139 cornstalks were moved to the surface in four rounds.

Sejun carefully spread the cornstalks in the peanut field, taking care not to cover the areas where peanuts were planted. He then spread the remaining cornstalks widely in the field he had prepared beforehand.

And when the work was finished,
