Solo Farming In The Tower

Amazon, Brazil.

Crunch. Crunch.

The once lush forest was now sparse, with only giant trees remaining, echoing with the sound of locusts feasting. Millions of red locusts swarmed the giant trees of the Amazon, rapidly devouring them.

Gradually, purple spots began to appear on the bodies of these locusts. With their population nearing almost 7 billion, the Red Locusts began to evolve into Purple Locusts.

Initially, the Brazilian government tried to reduce the number of locusts, but things deteriorated rapidly after the disappearance of the Tower in Brasília.

Realizing that their own Towers could disappear, other countries focused on their own defenses, significantly reducing their support to Brazil.

Consequently, the locusts bred at a terrifying rate without any hindrance, devouring the abundant grass around them, while the Brazilian government could do nothing but focus on defending the cities.

Even the recent reappearance of the Brasília Tower in Korea, bringing some relief as hunters returned to Brazil, was short-lived.

Whirr. Whirr.

The now entirely purple Purple Locusts began attacking cities populated with people.

For the first time, the locusts’ attack led to a shocking outcome: a city with zero survivors. The Purple Locusts began their devastating assault on Brazilian cities.

“Puhuhut. Little brothers, do you see it, meow?! The glow emanating from my body, meow?!”

Theo, enraptured by the golden glow from his body, bragged to his siblings.

Krueng!

[Big brother looks so cool!]

Cuengi expressed genuine admiration in excitement.

(You’re amazing, big brother!)

The golden bat also complimented Theo with a sense of envy, though it was somewhat indifferent inside. Naturally, since it was golden itself.

As the golden light from Theo’s body gradually faded,

” Vice Chairman Theo, what talent did you get?”

Curious, Sejun quickly asked Theo.

“Puhuhut! I got the talent ‘Insignificant Wealth’, meow!”

“Really?!”

Sejun felt uplifted hearing Theo’s talent also contained ‘Insignificant’.

“So, what does it do?”

“I can burn insignificant wealth to increase my abilities, meow!”

“What?!”

The meaning behind their ‘Insignificant’ talents was entirely different. Sejun’s talent, ‘Insignificant Presence’, was just that – insignificant. On the other hand, Theo’s ‘Insignificant Wealth’ implied that wealth was trivial and could be burned like scraps of paper to increase abilities.

‘I have a lot of money too… I’m envious! And annoyed! Should I eat another one?’

Sejun considered eating another one since there were five Incomplete Platinum Royal Jellies given by the Poisonous Queen Bee, and he was saving it for the Black Rabbit.

But

“No!”

Rather than awakening another talent like ‘Insignificant Presence’, Sejun thought it would be better to invest it in the Black Rabbit.

As Sejun was sorting out his complicated thoughts,

“Chairman Park, can I borrow some money, meow!”

“Your money, what happened to it?”

“I’ve already used it, meow! I’m a pauper now, meow!”

Theo, having just acquired his talent, had already burned all his money to increase his stats and now confidently extended his two front paws to Sejun, asking to borrow money.

“How much?”

“The more the better, meow!”

“Here.”

Although reluctant, Sejun, not wanting to appear petty, generously handed over almost his entire fortune of 70 million Tower Coins to Theo.

“Puhuhut. Thank you, meow!”

As Theo received the money from Sejun, his body began to shine with a golden light. So that was the effect of burning money… A truly expensive special effect. There goes my money…
