Solo Farming In The Tower

Zelga witnessed the scene of the sea disappearing in an instant.

“…Oh my goodness!”

He was speechless for a moment before he finally managed to utter a word.

And he looked over the ground, which had been the sea until now.

He saw mountains and plains that had been submerged in water, and at his feet, there was a yellow watermelon with black stripes that had swallowed the sea.

10 watermelons, each 3 meters in size.

Although they were much larger than ordinary watermelons, they were too small considering the amount of water that had made up the sea.

The Shriveled Drought-Inducing Watermelons had stopped absorbing water, having fully grown. It was really fortunate.

Otherwise, as their name suggested, a great drought would have hit the 70th floor of the Blue Tower.

Click.

Zelga descended from the sky and stood in front of the watermelons.

“Let’s harvest them first.”

Pop.

When Zelga cut the stem of a watermelon,

[You have harvested a Plump Drought-Inducing Watermelon.] [Your Job Experience have slightly increased.]

[Your proficiency in Harvesting Lv. 7 has slightly increased.]

[You have gained 70 experience points.]

The harvesting message appeared.

“Plump?”

To think it swallowed the whole sea and only became plump…

Zelga was puzzled and checked the watermelon’s options.

[Plump Drought-Inducing Watermelon] → This is a mutated watermelon that has evolved in the Black Tower grown inside Blue Tower, unable to absorb much water. It vowed to evolve by gritting its teeth so that in its next life, it will absorb lots of water without caring about others.

→ Planting this watermelon causes a severe drought in the surrounding area.

→ It has absorbed a lot of water and is very satisfied.

→ When eaten plump, its effects increase by 100%.

→ Consuming it increases all stats by 20.

→ Consuming it has a low chance of awakening and enhancing water-related talents.

→ Consuming it prevents you from getting thirsty for two months.

→ Grower: Blue Tower’s Tower Farmer Zelga

→ Shelf Life: 150 days

→ Grade: A

Consuming it increases all stats by 20 and has a low chance of awakening and enhancing water-related talents.

Not bad but…

“All that water absorbed, and this is it?”

And why would I need the effect of not being thirsty for two months?!

Zelga was dismayed by the rather trivial options.

“Should I try to enhance its medicinal effects with alchemy?”

Thus, he decided to use his specialty, alchemy.

Thud.

Zelga took out a compressor to extract the essence of the watermelon.

Then,

Crunch.

The watermelon, its rind and flesh, was crushed and sucked into the compressor.

And,

[You have stolen one Drought-Inducing Watermelon.] [According to the terms of the contract, a penalty of 10 billion Tower Coins is charged to Kin Aster.]

A message about the breach of contract appeared.

He had breached the terms that required all harvested watermelons to be returned to the Dragon Market.

“What?! A penalty? For a single watermelon, how petty!”

Angered by the message, Zelga remarked,

“Since it’s come to this, I might as well plant a whole bunch of them.”

Now having become a watermelon thief, Zelga.

Tuk.

Thinking there was no big difference between stealing one or two watermelons, he stole another and extracted its seeds.
