Solo Farming In The Tower

“I have some preparations to make. You go ahead.”

“Really? Alright then.”

Responding to Uren’s words, Sejun left the tent with the animals.

At that moment,

“Participants of the Food Fighter Selection Contest finals, please come up to the stage now!”

The staff of the Food Fighter contest began to guide the participants.

“Cuengi, fighting! Eat a lot!”

Sejun cheered on Cuengi, who was holding a ticket to the finals and heading towards the stage.

Krueng! Krueng!

[Got it! Cuengi will eat a lot and win!]

Buoyed by Sejun’s encouragement, Cuengi confidently gave a thumbs-up, as if to say he had everything under control.

“Khwahaha! The little guy has big ambitions.”

“Right. He’ll probably end up crying after biting off more than he can chew. Kek kek.”

The large participants scoffed at Cuengi’s declaration, but then,

Moo?!

[What did you just say to our Cuengi?!]

“Huh!”

“Ah… nothing.”

Their derision was quickly quelled by glares from the Black Minotaurs participating in the contest.

Soon, all 100 participants had found their spots, and Sejun, with the animals, took their seats in the audience.

Krueng!

[Dad, Cuengi is here!]

Cuengi, who had momentarily lost sight of Sejun and became anxious, spotted Sejun sitting in the audience and waved his paws.

“Yeah. Cuengi, fighting!”

Sejun responded by waving back and cheering for Cuengi.

“I wish I had a camera.”

Sejun lamented. Cuengi, squeezed among the huge participants and waving at him, was just too cute.

Sejun watched the adorable Cuengi while waiting for the contest to start.

“But what did Uren mean by saying he had something to prepare? Why hasn’t he shown up yet?”

Sejun became curious about Uren, who hadn’t yet appeared on the main stage. Surely he hadn’t encountered any life-threatening situations?

Sejun, who was as weak as a sunfish, worried about Uren.

Then,

“Now, the host of the Food Fighter competition and undefeated champion of the Food Fighter Contest, Legendary Merchant Uren, will make his entrance!”

Bam bam bam!

With the announcer’s introduction and the sound of fanfare,

Click.

The floor of the main stage’s highest seat opened.

And,

Thump.

Uren jumped up from below, wearing a golden crown and a golden cloak.

Oink!

When Yuren let out a roar filled with the will to win,

“Wow!”

“The legendary Food Fighter Uren!”

“The great pig Uren!”

The audience cheered for Uren. He waved back at them and took his seat. It seemed this was the “preparation” he mentioned.

“Wait, Uren was the organizer of this contest?”

What kind of person was he really? Sejun was astonished. Given what Theo had told him and his actions, it seemed impossible for him to make any money.

“How does he make money?”

As Sejun pondered how Uren became a legendary merchant,

“Alright, now that all participants are in place, let me explain the rules of the Food Fighter Contest. The contest will…”

The explanation was long, but in summary, since it was held in the Red Ribbon Kingdom, all dishes used carrots as the main ingredient.

The contest involved eating five appetizers and then the main dish. The winner would be whoever ate the most of the main dish. Essentially, the appetizers were just a warm-up, and the main dish was the real game.
