Solo Farming In The Tower

TL: Hanguk

Kweesi! Kweesi!

[Here it is! I’ve brought the most delicious head especially for you!]

Around the time when Cuengi was about to fill his snack bag with chestnuts, Godori proudly presented a snake’s head, the size of a fist, to Sejun. It seemed freshly killed as blood dripped from it.

“Ah! Sorry… I forgot I had eaten a little while ago.”

Kweesi… Kweesi!

[Oh… Then please take it and eat it when you are hungry!]

Godori pushed the snake’s head towards Sejun.

“No! That’s never going to happen!!!”

Sejun exclaimed, stepping back.

Kweesi…?

[Could it be… you’re not pleased with our hospitality…?]

Godori asked, looking anxious.

“Ah… No, it’s not that…”

Just as Sejun struggled to articulate himself,

“Sir Sejun, I am… I am sorry!”

Hegel and the Black Wolf tribe’s wolves rushed over and apologized, bowing down. They had hurried back after hearing from the golden bat that Sejun was looking for them after finishing their conversation with the boss at the 83rd floor waypoint.

Hegel’s eyes widened at the sight of the hedgehogs surrounding Sejun.

‘There were monsters?!’

“Sir Sejun! Please, let me take full responsibility for this!”

Hegel was restless because he didn’t know there was a monster hiding. He had no excuses. He had to take responsibility for his mistake, even if it cost his life.

“It’s okay. But be more careful next time.”

Honestly, Sejun was just relieved they were hedgehogs. It could’ve ended much worse had they been other monsters.

“Yes! Thank you for your forgiveness! I will take Sir Sejun’s words to heart.”

“Alright. But Hegel, you look very hungry? Running all the way here must’ve made you hungry, right? Very, very hungry, right? Here, eat this.”

Sejun pointed at the snake head, insisting Hegel should be hungry.

“Wha… Sir Sejun…”

Sejun was desperately trying to get rid of the snake’s head,

‘He’s giving this delicious treat to someone like me who made a mistake!’

Hegel was deeply moved that day.

“Alright! Let’s get to work!”

Sejun, who handed the snake’s head to Hegel, quickly started harvesting chestnuts.

Kweesi!

The hedgehogs climbed the trees and dropped the chestnut burrs, which Cuengi and Sejun would then peel to extract the chestnuts.

Krueng!

While Cuengi easily cracked the chestnut burrs brought by the hedgehogs by hand while sitting on the ground,

“Land Moving!”

Sejun used a skill to put 100 chestnut burrs underground at once, a somewhat cumbersome method, but he had no other choice; he couldn’t crack them by hand.

By the time they had cleaned about half of the chestnut tree of its burrs,

Gurgle.

Krueng!

[Daddy, I’m hungry!]

Cuengi’s stomach growled. It was dinner time.

Kweesi!

[We will catch dinner for Master Cuengi!]

Upon hearing Cuengi’s proclamation of hunger, Godori reacted as if it was a serious situation, getting ready to set out.

“No! You guys have worked hard too. Let’s eat something different today.”

Kweesi…

[No, but we really…]

Godori looked uneasy.

“No! Just stay put! Otherwise, I’ll kick you out of the farm!”

Sejun spoke firmly, even threatening the hedgehogs. He really didn’t want the snake’s head.

Kweesi!

[We will stay put!]

The hedgehogs froze at Sejun’s words. ‘No, guys, that’s not what he meant.’ Sejun explained that he meant they didn’t need to go hunt for dinner, and then started preparing dinner.

Dinner consisted of chestnut porridge and roasted chestnuts made from the chestnuts they harvested that day.
