Solo Farming In The Tower

Goblin?

Seeing Orik rubbing his palms together and laughing slyly, Sejun instinctively stepped back and took a defensive stance.

Hearing that sly laugh made him wary, thinking, ‘Is this sneaky creature trying to make me his slave?!’

However,

“Keke. Master, what’s the matter? Has Slave No. 5 done something to displease you?”

Seeing Sejun’s defensive stance, Orik became flustered and rubbed his palms even more fervently. Did I mess up my first impression?

‘What’s going on?’

Sejun looked at Orik with puzzlement. This was the first time he encountered a being who so readily accepted being his slave.

At that moment,

Kking?! Kking!

‘Hey! Who are you?! Since you’re here, you should show your belly and greet the noble Fenrir~nim!’

Fenrir, who was in the sling bag, barked fiercely at the newcomer Orik.

And then,

‘For a sunfish to step up to protect me… I’ll let this one slide.’

Sejun, misunderstanding Fenrir’s intentions in barking at Orik, allowed Fenrir to avoid Ophelia’s punishment of roasted sweet potato snacks.

While various misunderstandings were unfolding,

‘What’s that smell?!’

A delicious scent wafted into Orik’s nose, who was still rubbing his palms fervently. It was the smell of the potato soup Sejun had prepared for dinner.

Gulp.

Without realizing it, Orik swallowed his saliva and looked towards the kitchen, from where the scent was emanating. It had been a long time since he had smelled something this delicious.

Ever since the land of the Brown Tower started to decay, he had been grateful to fill his stomach with whatever food was available.

But… such a delicious smell! He couldn’t resist! If he could just have a bite, he’d have no other wishes.

“Keke… Master, can I have some food?”

So, he rubbed his palms together even more slyly, with utmost sincerity.

A while later.

Slurp.

“Keke. Master, you must be a culinary genius!”

[Your soul feels fulfilled from the overflowing praise.]

[Mental Strength increases by 1.]

Slurp.

“Keke. I’ve never had such delicious food in my entire life!”

[Your soul feels fulfilled from the overflowing praise.]

[Mental Strength increases by 1.]

Slurp.

“Keke. I bet there isn’t anyone in all nine towers who can cook better than you, Master.”

[Your soul feels fulfilled from the overflowing praise.]

[Mental Strength increases by 1.]

Orik kept praising Sejun while drinking the potato soup.

Initially wary because of Orik’s sly smile and actions, Sejun realized, Orik, you were a good guy after all.

‘I judged you too quickly by your appearance.’

Feeding him resulted in an increase in Mental Strength, making Orik a Mental Strength vending machine.

“Hehe. Orik, do you want more?”

Reflecting on his mistake, Sejun offered more potato soup to the Mental Strength vending machine… no, Orik.

However,

“Keke. Master, it’s alright. I get full even with a small amount of food.”

Orik, cluelessly trying to appeal that he was a high-efficiency slave who could eat little and work a lot.

The capacity of the Mental Strength vending machine was too small.

Then it’s time to switch tactics!

“Let’s have some dessert now.”

Even when you eat a full meal, there’s always a separate stomach for dessert.

“Keke. Oh! This fruit called watermelon is really sweet and delicious!”

[Your soul feels fulfilled from the overflowing praise.]

[Mental Strength increases by 1.]

Thanks to that, Sejun was able to raise his mental strength by 1 more while receiving Orik’s high praise.
