Solo Farming In The Tower

Wandering Merchant Association Headquarters.

“How is the investigation into the disappearances in the merchant passage progressing? Have any suspects been identified?”

Mason, the Chairman of the association, asked Vega, the director of the Secret Inspection Bureau.

“Well… we haven’t found any clues yet.”

“What?! It’s been a month since the first disappearance in the merchant passage, and now there are over a thousand missing people. And you’re telling me you haven’t found a single clue?!”

Mason reprimanded Vega. This was no small matter. If the news spread, it would severely impact the activities of wandering merchants who had trusted and used the merchant passage.

Until now, the Wandering Merchant Association had guaranteed the safety of the merchants, allowing them to operate freely. But if it became known that the merchant passage was unsafe, the merchants would cease their movements.

And if the wandering merchants stopped, the supply of goods to various floors of the tower would be disrupted. This could lead to significant turmoil due to shortages on several floors.

Moreover, wandering merchants weren’t the only users of the passage. If the passage was deemed unsafe, the trust of external parties in the Wandering Merchant Association would also plummet.

Therefore, the disappearance cases had been a top priority for the association from the start. But to have not even a clue about the suspect?

“I’m sorry!”

Given the immense support received, Vega, the director of the Secret Inspection Bureau, had no excuse.

Then,

Knock. Knock. Knock.

Bang.

Someone entered without waiting for permission after knocking on the door of the Chairman’s office.

“Who is it? I don’t recognize this face.”

“It’s me, Jason. I apologize for not showing my real face to Chairman Mason and Director Vega. But I have something urgent to report and had to come immediately.”

James, a legendary agent of the Secret Inspection Bureau known for never revealing his true identity, showed his identification badge and bowed in apology.

“Ah, it’s you, James. But what is this urgent matter you need to report?”

Mason, momentarily tense, asked in relief.

“I think I’ve found a lead on the merchant passage disappearance case.”

“Really?!”

“Yes. And just now, Lord Uren has gone missing in the merchant passage.”

“What?! Uren?! Is that true?!”

“Yes, it’s true. I was with Lord Uren until just a moment ago.”

James had been disguised as a guard mercenary for a large trading caravan, traveling to find leads on the disappearance case.

Then,

“Lord Uren, there’s a fork in the road ahead!”

While moving with Uren’s caravan, an unforeseen fork in the road appeared, and

“We will go ahead; you investigate this path.”

Concerned for the safety of other wandering merchants, Lord Uren instructed the guards to investigate the alternate path while continuing their journey.

Contrary to expectations, the guards following the alternate path safely reached the exit of the merchant passage, only to find that Uren’s caravan had completely vanished.

“This is serious…”

“Lord Uren, too…”

Upon hearing James’s report, both Mason and Vega looked gravely serious. The disappearance of Lord Uren, one of the three great merchants, was a huge issue. Once the news of Uren’s disappearance spread through the wandering merchants under him, it would rapidly circulate throughout the tower.

“Director Vega, for now, close the merchant passage under the pretext of maintenance for a few days!”

“Yes!”

To prevent the situation from worsening, Mason decided to close the merchant passage.

Confident he hadn’t been fooled and was on the correct path, Theo continued his journey, humming cheerfully.

However,

Not long after entering the path, hundreds of white snakes surrounded Theo.

“What, meow? There are strange numbers on their heads, meow!”

On the heads of these snakes were numbers like ‘0.01’, ‘0.02’.
