Solo Farming In The Tower

“I trusted you, Kellion, how could you do this?”

-Well… It’s…

As Sejun interrogated Kellion, who was caught red-handed,

-Hahaha. Good job. Theo, you did well.

Kaiser, who had returned after attending to his business, praised Theo for capturing Kellion.

“That’s right, meow! I’m amazing, meow! Listen closely, Lord Kaiser, meow! I was sleeping when I felt a tremendous malicious energy, meow! So I woke up feeling something was off, meow! And then…”

The proud Theo began to excitedly exaggerate the story of how he caught Kellion.

And then,

“I’m sorry. Actually…”

Sejun heard about Kellion’s grandson, Ajax.

“So, your grandson has become a tower farmer of the White Tower, but his magic power is too strong to grow crops?”

-Yes. But when I saw the Grade-A Elixir Cherry Tomatoes, I couldn’t help but get greedy…

“Why didn’t you just tell me?”

If he had been honest from the start, Sejun would have simply given him the seeds. Of course, in exchange for 10-20% of the harvest.

For Sejun, it was a bit of a concession, but he would’ve been satisfied with that deal since he couldn’t plant it himself.

However, since Kellion was caught stealing, Sejun gained leverage for a much more favorable contract.

Did I save a country in my past life? No, not just a country. I must have saved the world. Otherwise, how could I be this lucky?

Or did I do a great favor for Theo in a past life? Sejun smiled as he watched Theo bragging excitedly to Kaiser, then turned his gaze back to Kellion.

“Let’s do this.”

-What?

“I’ll give you 100 seeds of the Grade-A Elixir Cherry Tomatoes.”

That was all the seeds Sejun had, excluding those in the Golden Box of Abundance.

-Really?!

Kellion spoke in disbelief. He didn’t expect Sejun to hand over the seeds so easily after he tried to steal them. But Sejun had his own plans.

“But there are two conditions.”

-Two conditions?

“Yes. Firstly, for the next 100 years, give me 90% of the harvest. After 100 years, 20%.”

-Fine.

Although a 9:1 split was unfavorable, to dragons, 100 years wasn’t that long. And if they failed, there was no risk. If the harvest was zero, there was nothing to give.

-Okay. What’s the second condition?

“Give me 100 dragon tooth warriors.”

-What?! 100 dragon tooth warriors? Can’t I just pay you in cash?

100 dragon tooth warriors could be exchanged for 100,000 bottles of regular makgeolli. It would have been easier to just pay cash.

But,

“No. I want the dragon tooth warriors.”

Sejun firmly declined. To him, dragon tooth warriors were more valuable than money.

He planned to arm the Wolf Tribe and the rabbit kingdom on the 55th floor, the Banana Farm on the 77th floor, and the Chestnut Farm on the 83rd floor, so they could guard the farms better.

“Vice-Chairman Theo.”

“Chairman Park, here’s the contract, meow!”

Theo, having finished his conversation with Kaiser, quickly handed over the contract.

Swish.

Receiving the contract, Sejun quickly wrote down the agreement and stamped it.

“Lord Kellion, please stamp here, meow!”

Theo handed the contract to Kellion. With the contract completed, Sejun and Kellion exchanged 100 Grade-A Elixir Cherry Tomato seeds and 100 dragon tooth warriors.

“Just to let you know, these Grade-A Elixir Cherry Tomatoes are exclusively cultivated by me in the tower. In other words, you can’t plant them without my permission.”

It was a warning not to steal the crops.

-Exclusive cultivation rights? There’s such a thing?

“Yes. It’s a privilege given only to tower farmers who harvest new varieties. So don’t deceive me about the yield and think about planting behind my back.”

-I see. Understood.

With Kellion’s reply, the white dragon statue stopped. He quickly left to give the seeds to his grandson. Kellion too had been through a lot for his grandson.

“Vice Chairman Theo, let’s go to sleep.”
