Solo Farming In The Tower

Kenya, Africa.

Suk.

“Damn it. Why am I planting this?”

Having been saved by Theo and forcibly drafted into the Earth Defense Force, Ngũgĩ grumbled, looking at the sturdy blade green onions planted around him.

Around a thousand sturdy blade green onions had been planted in the vicinity.

Before leaving the tower.

“Hand over all the detoxifying green onions.”

Han Tae-jun had taken all the detoxifying green onions that Theo had provided to the Earth Defense Force. Believing Theo’s words that the Earth was facing destruction, Han Tae-jun planned to mobilize all resources.

Naturally, at first, the hunters, led by Lucilia, the guild leader of the Wizard Guild, had defiantly exclaimed, ‘Who do you think you are?!’

But they had met more than their match. Indeed, there were many hidden powerhouses in the world. Lucilia and the hunters had to surrender after being bombarded by Han Tae-jun’s magic missiles.

“That huge guy using magic…”

Ngũgĩ shivered, recalling memory of that time.

Within 24 hours of arriving on Earth, Han Tae-jun began to seize lands all over the world and founded the Earth Defense Force. He then designated land for the members to plant sturdy blade green onions.

Ngũgĩ hadn’t even seen the money from selling the detoxifying green onions, but he was hopeful because there was a bonus for each green onion planted.

‘Maybe this job is better… I don’t have to risk my life here.’

Suk. Suk.

As Ngũgĩ was planting the sturdy blade green onions with such thoughts,

Flutter.

A green locust, about the size of a fist, flew towards Ngũgĩ.

“What?!”

Ngũgĩ was startled to see the locust.

[Green Locust]

“What’s going on?!”

He could see the name above the locust’s head, just as he had seen it above the heads of monsters inside the tower.

Swoosh.

Ngũgĩ attacked and killed the green locust with his jungle knife, gaining experience points. It was indeed a monster.

“How is there a monster outside the tower? Is Earth really going to be destroyed?!”

As the chilling thought that Theo’s words might be true crept into Ngũgĩ’s mind,

Flutter. Flutter.

About 100,000 green locusts filled the sky, flying towards Ngũgĩ.

‘A swarms of Locust monsters…’

Non-awakeners probably couldn’t see the names above their heads and were unaware of this.

“Damn! I should have brought my weapon…”

Ngũgĩ regretted leaving his primary weapon, a bow, at home, since there was no need to carry it on Earth.

Swish. Swish.

He had no choice but to kill the green locusts with his jungle knife. They weren’t very strong, so there was no danger in killing them.

As he was busily killing the green locusts,

“What?!”

Thud.

Crunch. Crunch.

He saw the green locusts getting cut and killed as they approached to eat the leaves of the sturdy blade onions. Even as they died, they still tried to eat the leaves. It was a truly terrifying appetite.

And the sturdy blade green onions were killing the monsters faster than Ngũgĩ himself.

“So that’s why we were told to plant sturdy blade green onions…”

Ngũgĩ, who had gained a great realization, reported the situation to the Earth Defense Force headquarters. More sturdy blade green onions were needed.

As Sejun arrived at the western forest,

“Oh. there are so many now.”

Thump. Thump.

Thud. Thud.

The number of Ents had increased to 7,000. It was thanks to not being attacked by fire ants.

Thump. Thump.

The little Ents greeted Sejun, jostling each other to extend their heads.

[Seed… pluck… please…]

[Seed… pluck…give… you]

“Got it.”

There was a reason why the Ents asked Sejun to pluck the seeds that they could pick themselves.

[Farmer’s Touch Lv. 2 is activated.]

[The growth of the purified Ent accelerates while being touched.]

The Ents liked the feeling of growing faster when Sejun plucked their seeds, thanks to the Farmer’s Touch skill.
