Solo Farming In The Tower-Chapter 691: No, I’m Not Okay Because of Vice Chairman Theo

Black Tower, 70th Floor.

The capital of the Lizard Kingdom, Dino.

"Puhuhut. Lizard King, thanks for buying 20 million invitations, nya!"

Theo was shaking down the king of the Lizard Kingdom for money.

In the past, the Lizard Kingdom had given half of its treasures to Theo in exchange for removing the Phoenix that had occupied their capital, Dino.

However, the citizens worked hard to restore the national treasury. And thanks to that, Theo was able to squeeze even more out of them.

With the payment of 20 trillion Tower Coins for the 20 million invitations, Theo was ready to depart for Sejun.

"Then, ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ let's get going—nya?!"

Chairman Park is nearby, nya!

Theo sensed Sejun’s knee energy appearing at the Waypoint on the 70th floor of the Tower.

"Puhuhut. Chairman Park must have missed me, Vice Chairman Theo, very much, nya!"

Mistakenly assuming that Sejun had come to see him out of longing, Theo enthusiastically charged straight into his arms using Nyangnyangbo.

Swoosh.

"Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I missed you too, nya!"

In an instant, Theo clung to Sejun’s face, rubbing against him vigorously.

And then—

"Quet?!"

Where am I?!

Iona, who had been clinging to Theo’s tail, was momentarily startled by the sudden change in scenery.

Then, regaining her composure, she greeted Sejun calmly.

"Quet quet quet. Hello, Lord Sejun."

However—

"No. I’m not okay because of Vice Chairman Theo."

Squeeze.

"Nyaaang..."

Sejun grabbed Theo’s cheek fur, pulling it with a sulky expression.

"Bakeyjang, zamohattanyang!"

Theo, not even knowing what he did wrong, apologized first.

If Chairman Park was punishing him with the Sticky Rice Cake Grip, then he must have done something wrong—no questions asked.

Besides—

It’s probably because of the invitations, nya...

He had a faint idea of why Sejun was upset.

Even Theo himself thought he had maybe (just maybe) sold a bit too many invitations after passing the 50 million mark.

But at some point, he got too excited and became an unstoppable invitation-selling locomotive.

"Vice Chairman Theo, I told you to sell only 10,000 invitations."

"Nya?! I thought you said to sell at least 10,000, nya!"

"What? Are your ears clogged? Want me to clean them out for you?"

"Puhuhut. That would be fantastic, nya! If Bakeyjang does it, it’ll be an honor, nya!"

"Ugh. The audacity."

Squeeze.

"Nyaaang! Bakeyjang, zamohattanyang!"

And so, Theo’s punishment dragged on longer.

A Moment Later—

"Haaah. So how many did you sell?"

Now somewhat calmed down, Sejun released Theo’s cheeks and asked.

"Nya..."

Mason: 30 million

Hannibal: 23 million

Lizard King: 20 million

Theo enthusiastically calculated his grand achievement.

"Quet quet quet. Lord Theo sold 135,710,068 invitations!"

Iona, who had already counted the total, proudly announced the number.

She had started to resemble Theo little by little, as if they were a couple.

"WHAT?! A HUNDRED MILLION?!"

Sejun, who had expected at most 10 million, exploded in anger at the staggering number.

"YAMYA!"

"Bakeyjang, zamohattanyang!"

Theo’s cheeks were seized once again.

After Punishing Theo for a While—

"Vice Chairman Theo, you’re banned from my lap for two days."

Sejun delivered his verdict.

"Nya?! No, nya!"

Theo’s face turned pale at Sejun’s words.

For Theo, two days without lap privileges was like a bolt from the blue.

At that moment—

This is my chance!

Dash dash dash.

Baektang, who had been waiting for the perfect moment, moved in.

Kyaooong!

[Now that lap belongs to me!]

Baektang, completely oblivious to the mood, leapt towards Sejun’s lap.

"Hiss! No one can take Chairman Park’s lap from me, nya!"

Thud.

Kyak!

But before Baektang could land, Theo struck him down, knocking him out cold.

"Sigh. Let’s go, everyone."

At this rate, this wasn’t going to be a birthday party but a birthday nightmare...

With a deep sigh, Sejun gathered his group and returned to the 99th floor of the Black Tower.

For the next five days, Sejun did nothing but stock up on cooking ingredients from morning till night.

With over 100 million attendees at the party, the storage rooms and subspace warehouses were filled to the brim.

In the process, Sejun’s level increased by three, reaching Level 196.

Meanwhile, Hett completed numerous quests requiring chocolate bricks, Yoreyo powder, and other rare materials.

[20 Sejun Company Welfare Points have been used for Seed Delivery Network access.]

[A Transcendent Dragon Fruit Seed has been sent to Vice Chairman Park Theo.]

[The Merchant God Hett has received 5 Welfare Points as a quest reward.]

Every time 20 points accumulated, Hett sent a Dragon Fruit Seed to Sejun through Theo.

Sejun had already received two Dragon Fruit Seeds in the past five days and planted them, but the results were... disappointing.

One seed only copied the Super Vitality skill, making it useless.

The other copied Miniaturization and Thunder, at least allowing it to water crops when it rained.

Munch. Munch.

"Hey! Stop eating so much!"

The Super Vitality dragon fruit had no practical use but ate tons of food thanks to its high-level growth boost.

How infuriating.

Sejun scowled at the dragon fruit that only ate and did nothing else.

"Aileen, cook this thing for me."

[The Tower Administrator excitedly asks if you really want to eat her dish.]

[The Tower Administrator tells you to wait just a little longer.]

She was preparing a dish to deal with the gluttonous dragon fruit.

And then—

BOOM!

The gluttonous dragon fruit exploded after eating Aileen’s new dish.

Apparently, the ‘Chestnut Dish’ she made was actually a Bomb.

Thank you.

Sejun expressed his deep gratitude and condolences to the departed gluttonous dragon fruit before heading to the carrot field.

It was time to harvest carrots for the carrot cake.

Meanwhile—

"Who did this, nya?! Who burned all the money, nya?!"

Theo, upon discovering that the vault was empty, called in Queng and Kkamang for interrogation.

Queng! Queng!

[Queng is innocent! Queng only burned Papa’s skills, Queng swears!]

Queng solemnly placed his right paw over his left chest to declare his innocence.

Queng never lies, nya!

"Then was it Kkamang, nya?!"

Theo eliminated Queng as a suspect and turned to interrogate Kkamang...

Squeak! Squeak!

[The Great Kkamang is innocent! The Great Kkamang didn’t even get to burn Housekeeper’s money because of Big Brother! And now I’m stuck on a diet!]

Kkamang barked furiously, his voice filled with grievance. He really looked wronged.

It wasn’t Kkamang either, nya...

"Then who is it, nya?!"

Unable to find the culprit—

"Detective Sherlock Sejun, please help, nya!"

Theo pleaded for Sejun’s help.

But—

"I entrusted that money to Aileen."

"Nya?!"

The culprit was Sejun.

"Hrhrhr. Now, even if you want to burn it, you can’t!"

Sejun grinned smugly, taunting Theo.

"Nya! Chairman Park, your face is rotten, nya!"

Queng!

[Papa, no ugly face allowed, Queng!]

Kiheheh! Squeak!

[Hihit! Let’s stomp on Housekeeper’s face!]

The Park Brothers mercilessly trampled on him.

Huhu. At least the money is safe.

Sejun grinned, accepting his fate as a stepping stone.

However, the so-called "Absolute Vault" Aileen—once armed with a fat wallet—

Kuhihihi. What kind of Authority should I buy for my dear Sejun?

—began an Authority shopping spree.

System 371’s tearful efforts were completely ignored.

Black Tower, 55th Floor

“Lord Ppotchi, it has been a while.”

The Archbishop Galchi of the Hamgod Church had arrived with other believers to assist with Ppotchi’s wedding preparations.

Ppotchi and Lala’s wedding would be held three times:

1️⃣ A traditional Hamk wedding

2️⃣ A Red Ribbon Kingdom wedding

3️⃣ Another Red Ribbon Kingdom wedding

The hamsters were first preparing the wedding attire for the Hamk-style ceremony, carefully measuring Ppotchi and Lala’s sizes.

Meanwhile, the Hamgod Church members remained in the Red Ribbon Kingdom, when suddenly—

"What?! The Great Hamgod, Lady Iona, will be attending the wedding?!"

Upon overhearing a conversation with the rabbits, the hamsters discovered that Iona was attending the ceremony.

And—

"Report this to the homeland immediately!"

"A chance to gaze upon the Hamgod’s divine visage is rare!"

"Glory to the Hamgod!"

Although Iona was common in the Black Tower’s 99th floor, she was suddenly being treated like a rare legendary Pokémon by the Hamk hamsters, who began flooding into the Black Tower just to catch a glimpse of her.

Of course, as residents of a Level 7 world, reaching the 99th floor on their own was impossible—

Until a business opportunity arose.

"If you want to attend the birthday party, bring an invitation or a wedding invitation for Ppotchi and Lala."

"Huh?! That’s all we need?!"

"Yes! Our Queng Gang and the wolves will safely escort you to the Black Tower’s 99th floor!"

The Queng Gang black bears and the wolves had begun operating a shuttle service to escort guests to the 99th floor.

"Lord Ppotchi, please give me a wedding invitation!"

"Lord Ppotchi, I must attend the wedding!"

The hamsters begged for invitations to secure their ride to the 99th floor.

Quet!

[Of course, I’ll send them to you!]

Hehehe. It’s all for the wedding gifts.

With his eyes set on collecting massive wedding gifts, Ppotchi approved every request.

And so—

Every printing house in the Red Ribbon Kingdom began operating 24/7, producing wedding invitations nonstop.

To print invitations for all 50 billion hamsters.

Whether they could finish before the birthday party was uncertain.

But if they succeeded—

By Earth’s time, on March 23rd, Hamk would be deserted.

Meanwhile...

At that moment, Ppotchi casually dropped a nuclear bomb on the 99th floor of the Black Tower.

[Red Tower, 43rd Floor – Red Monkey Mong-O: Greetings. Black Tower folks, may I ask you something?]

[Black Tower, 77th Floor – Boss of Banana Monkey Village, Chief Ukil: Speak. I’ll answer.]

[Red Tower, 43rd Floor – Red Monkey Mong-O: Thank you. I recently heard about the Black Tower... Is it true that the Black Tower has something called a "birthday"?]

Mong-O dropped a seemingly innocent question in the Permanent Employee Network, sparking shockwaves.

[Black Tower, 77th Floor – Chief Ukil: It’s true. By the way, I personally received a birthday from Chairman Park. (Huhuhut.)]

[Red Tower, 33rd Floor – Red Skunk #23: Wow! I’m so jealou—Pwooong! Ah. Sorry, I got too excited...]

[Black Tower, 73rd Floor – Boss of Giant Flying Squirrels, Quarrel: Huhihihi. If you want one, I can give you one. Birthdays can be shared, after all.]

[Red Tower, 43rd Floor – Red Monkey Mong-O: Really?! I’d love to receive one!]

[Red Tower, 33rd Floor – Red Skunk #23: Give m—Pwooong! Please give me one!]

[Brown Tower, 77th Floor – Red Goblin Gwek: I want one too!]

And then—

[<Deputy Vice Chief> Red Tower, 87th Floor – "Loyal Permanent Employee" Red Fox Bayon: Red Tower scum, stop! The first to receive Lord Sejun’s birthday in the Red Tower will be the loyal permanent employee—

ME, BAYON!]

A new explosion was brewing in the Permanent Employee Network.
