Solo Farming In The Tower

TL: Hanguk

[Magical Cherry Tomato]

“Is this the newly released D-grade Magical Cherry Tomato? It’s really amazing that just eating this can break down 20g of fat.”

Michael McLaren, the Vice Chairman of Gagel, a huge food corporation that controls 39% of the world food market, said while looking at the red cherry tomato. Being an Awakened, he could see the options of the Magical Cherry Tomato.

“What was the result of planting the E-grade Magical Cherry Tomato on Earth?”

Michael had been researching the Magical Cherry Tomato for several months now and had recently had the first harvest.

“We planted it in the best conditions for cherry tomatoes to grow, but perhaps because the environment is different from the tower, it grew into a normal cherry tomato that we know, not an item.”

“Hmm…”

Michael McLaren fell into thought.

Ten years ago, the tower appeared while Michael was learning about company work under his father.

And a few months after the tower appeared, Michael was lucky enough to get into the tower through Vanishing.

The tower was much larger than it looked from the outside. Even by securing a place on just one floor, you could grow and harvest enough crops to cover 5% of the crops currently produced by Gagel.

Plus, with the sun shining 24 hours inside the tower, the harvest cycle was short. If they could grow crops in the tower, it wouldn’t be a dream to control the entire global food market.

Michael convinced his father, the Chairman of Gagel, as soon as he came out of the tower. He then led the Tower Farm Project, which involved setting up a large-scale farm inside the tower.

Everything was going smoothly. But a problem arose unexpectedly. The seeds that the Tower Farm Project team took into the tower didn’t sprout for some reason.

They tried various methods such as changing the germination conditions and environment, and bringing seedlings, but all failed.

And they found out the cause of their failure through a research report from another research team.

→Research on the reason why Awakened become infertile

The content of the research report was shocking. Awakened lose their reproductive ability as soon as they enter the tower.

Now it is known that this is a temporary side effect due to magic adaptation, and most of the reproductive ability is restored when the Awakened level exceeds 10, but in the early days when the tower appeared, it gave a huge shock to society.

The loss of fertility applied equally to plants, and Michael, who had no way to raise the level of the seeds, gave up on the method of bringing seeds from outside.

Instead, he chose a method to get the seeds directly. The tower was selling food made from various crops. So when he tried to buy seeds from the merchants in the tower,

“Seeds? A greedy guy named Grid on the 55th floor has monopolized them, so they can’t be sold.”

So Michael’s Tower Farm Project was discarded after hearing that it was an ahead-of-its-time project that could only be started if they reached the 55th floor.

However, with the emergence of the Magical Cherry Tomato in the world, Michael’s ambition for the Tower Farm Project reignited.

“What was the result of planting the Magical Cherry Tomato in the tower?”

“We sowed 100 E-grade Magical Cherry Tomatoes on the 1st floor of the tower as a trial, and 10 of them successfully sprouted and are about to be harvested soon.”

“Really?!”

“Yes, Chairman.”

Although the current sprouting rate is 10%, Michael thought that using the know-how of Gagel, it was not a big deal to increase the sprouting rate.

“Get the budget for the Tower Farm Project approved immediately. Employ awakeners to clear out the monsters around the area where we’ll build the farm.”

Like that, the once halted Tower Farm project of the huge food corporation Gagel, thanks to Sejun’s cherry tomatoes, restarted.

Huh?!!!

Woo Cheon-sam was enraged by Theo’s words, “You’re accusing a warrior like me of thievery?!!!”

“Th…that’s right, meow. If not, let’s go ask Park Sejun, meow!”

Theo was taken aback by Woo Cheon-sam’s anger, but he quickly regained his confidence. He had Park Sejun on his side. Park Sejun would solve everything, meow.

Huh!

Woo Cheon-sam stood up, blowing out hot breath through his nose. Lead the way!

“Follow me, meow!”

Theo led Woo Cheon-sam to the cave.
