Solo Farming In The Tower

“You Are a Field?”

Sejun was disappointed with the name of the new combat skill he acquired. The name didn’t seem to fit a combat skill. He felt a bit uneasy.

“Let’s check it out first!”

Sejun quickly checked the new skill he had gained.

[Job Combat Skill – You Are a Field! Lv. 1]

– You can plant crops on living enemies. (However, it can’t be planted on enemies whose skin can’t be penetrated.)

– Using the Seed Sowing skill on an enemy causes the planted seeds to root in the enemy’s body, absorbing their vitality (TL: aka life force) and growing rapidly. (Some seeds have special properties.)

– By using Seed Harvesting, you can harvest the crops grown on the enemy, causing additional damage. (There’s a very rare chance to harvest a random stat from the target.)

“What is this?”

The newly acquired combat skill allowed him to use ‘Seed Sowing’ and ‘Seed Harvesting’ skills in combat. But being able to plant crops on a living entity… Is it some sort of parasitic plant?

He wanted to test it out, but there were no enemies around.

“Cuengi, let’s head back.”

Sejun decided to return with Cuengi. Soon, the 12th Blue Moon since he entered the tower was approaching. And, since they had burned all the kudzus around, the vicinity of the tangerine tree on the 83rd floor of the tower was safe for the time being.

Dadadada.

Krueng!

[Cuengi is going home!]

On hearing that they were going home, Cuengi rushed over with the harvested kudzu roots.

Using the waypoint, Sejun and Cuengi returned to the 99th floor of the tower.

“Meow meow meow. Humans, I have arrived, meow!”

Humming a tune, Theo announced his arrival at the camp on the 40th floor of the tower.

But,

“Meow?!”

The camp on the 40th floor of the tower was completely empty.

“What happened, meow?! Where did my minions go, meow?!”

It was his first task after officially becoming the Vice Chairman. There were no hunters to buy Chairman Park’s crops, meow! Everything had been messed up from the start.

“This can’t be, meow!”

Theo quickly surveyed the camp to understand what had happened. The tents were full of items the hunters hadn’t taken with them, and there were signs that they had moved hastily in one direction.

Theo’s conclusion after observing the surroundings was clear.

“It’s certain the humans are in danger, meow! Both Chairman Park and humans are weak, meow! Puhuhut. I need to save them and make them my slaves, meow!”

It was quite a leap in reasoning. Not a normal train of thought.

“Meow! This is Chairman Park’s favorite coffee, meow!”

When Theo was about to pick up the coffee he found in the tent,

“Vice Chairman Theo, when did you arrive?!”

Eom Jeong-sik, a member of the Earth Defense Force who had been sleeping in another tent, called out to Theo.

From Eom Jeong-sik, Theo learned where the hunters had gone.

“Meow? The humans went to the 41st floor of the tower, meow?!”

“Yes! They all rushed there after hearing that a wandering merchant selling equipment had appeared.”

“So they weren’t kidnapped, meow…”

Theo was greatly disappointed with Eom Jeong-sik’s revelation. My plan to please Chairman Park with many new slaves…

“I must go there and see for myself, meow!”

He was curious about who the wandering merchant was who dared to charm his minions.

“Inform Han Tae-jun to gather information about Chairman Park’s family, meow!”

“Even if you didn’t ask, a report sent by Captain K… I mean, Mr. Han… arrived a little while ago.”

Eom Jeong-sik handed Theo the report. The report detailed the recent raid on the Three Head Society’s hideout.

“Thank you, meow! Eat this, meow!”

Theo took out a small pouch the size of his front paw and poured about 20 peanuts onto Eom Jeong-sik’s palm. He had picked up the pouch of peanuts that Iona had dropped.

“Thank you!”

“Eat well, meow!”
