Solo Farming In The Tower

“Just trust me, Lord Theo!”

For Lord Theo! Kona, with a determined look, jumped onto the back of the lake turtle.

Splash.

Splash.

With short limbs flailing in the air, Kona glided as much as possible, and dived into the water. Kona swam hard and climbed onto the back of the lake turtle.

“Is this the shell of the lake turtle?”

Kona spoke, looking at the red back of the lake turtle. The shell was densely packed with holes that looked like volcanic craters, varying in size from small to massive.

It looked sturdy, and Kona thought it seemed like a good material for making equipment, though they would have to refine it first to be sure.

Just then,

Scrape.

Krueng?

[Did Kona come to take this too?]

Cuengi, who had already settled on the back of the lake turtle, spoke up. Cuengi had been busy prying off pieces of the turtle’s shell and stuffing them into its snack pouch.

“Yes!”

Kona, thinking Cuengi also came to mine the shell, responded and began to dig into the turtle’s shell with a pickaxe.

Clang! Clang!

After about 10 minutes of pickaxing by Kona, a piece of the lake turtle’s shell came off.

“Peng?”

Beneath it, the real shiny shell appeared.

“Then what’s this?”

Kona was confused, looking at the stone she had mined when,

Puaang!

[My back feels cool!]

The lake turtle let out a pleased cry.

“Back? Huh?! What are you guys doing there?”

Sejun, who had been creating ice for the lake turtle, asked Cuengi and Kona, who were on the turtle’s back.

Krueng!

[Daddy, Cuengi dug up oysters!]

Cuengi proudly showed Sejun what he had dug up from the turtle’s back, waving them in its hands in response to Sejun’s question.

“Oysters?!”

At a glance, it was obviously wasn’t oysters, but to Cuengi, the closest thing in his knowledge was oysters.

“Wait a minute. Ice cube.”

Sejun made an ice bridge to move over to the turtle’s back to properly examine and explain what was attached to the shell.

“These are Balanidae. So, this is why you felt hot.”

Sejun touched the red Balanidae and spoke. They were slightly hot to the touch, and the parts touching the turtle’s back would be even hotter.

At that moment,

[You have discovered the reason why the lake turtle cannot sleep.]

[The quest has been updated.]

[Quest: Remove all the Balanidae parasitizing the body of the lake turtle!]

Reward: 130,000 experience points, 13,000 Tower coins, flourishing of the lake turtle, an endangered species, in 100 years.

With the quest update, the rewards increased slightly.

“Good.”

The quest, motivating Sejun, who was already eagerly picking off Balanidae and thinking about the tastiest way to eat them.

“Cuengi, these are called Balanidae.”

Sejun told Cuengi the name of the creatures attached to the turtle’s back.

Krueng?! Krueng?

[They’re not oysters?! Then we can’t eat them?]

Cuengi was shocked at Sejun’s words, becoming gloomy at the thought of not being able to eat something tasty.

“No, you can eat these too. And they’re very delicious.”

Krueng?!

[Really?!]
