Solo Farming In The Tower
Chapter 539: Brother-in-law, I Can't Let You Surpass Me!TL: Hanguk
Black Tower Administrator Area.
“Huh?!”
Earth exists, but it’s connected to another world?!
The startled Aileen hurriedly used the crystal orb to confirm the situation.
And then,
“Ah. Since Earth was temporarily incorporated as Floor 0 of the Black Tower, we can manage the new world.”
She quickly grasped the situation.
“Wait, there’s more explanation here?”
While Aileen was reading through the description she hadn’t noticed earlier,[You have arrived on the 1st floor of the Black Tower.]
The hamsters from Hamk entered the Black Tower through Vanishing.
And this wasn’t the usual small-scale Vanishing seen before, it was a large-scale one.
Kyuui?
[Where are we?]
Kyuui?
[It says it’s Black Tower Floor 1?]
About 10,000 hamsters looked around in confusion, not understanding their surroundings.
At that moment,
Da-da-da.
A brown hamster swiftly darted out from the group.
It was Kalchi, who had been imprisoned.
Hamk had been invaded by Destruction!
Having been in Recia, Kalchi instantly understood the situation as soon as the term ‘Black Tower’ came up.
And,
Theo-nim definitely said that he and Sejun-nim live on the 99th floor of the Black Tower!
He decided to climb the tower quickly to meet Theo.
To prove his story to the Thunham Empire. And to save Hamk.
To Kalchi, the most powerful and fastest way to save Hamk was to find Sejun and ask for his help.
As Kalchi disappeared to the 2nd floor through the waypoint,
“Uh?! Hamsters!”
Earth’s hunters spotted the hamsters looking around their surroundings.
The sight of so many hamsters with variously colored fur gathered together was irresistibly adorable.
“Oh my! They’re so cute!”
“Do you think we can touch them?”
Enchanted by their cuteness, the hunters approached the hamsters without hesitation.
At that moment,
Kyuui!
A golden-furred hamster stepped forward.
Thud!
It stomped its foot.
Do not come closer!
The warning was conveyed clearly through the ground.
Despite their adorable appearance, the hamsters exuded a ferocious aura, as if they could tear their enemies apart at any moment.
And then,
The hamsters are stronger than us?!
Earth’s hunters were deeply shocked by the overwhelming power of the hamsters.
At that moment,
“How dare you cause trouble as newcomers?!”
“How dare you create chaos in Chairman Park’s market?!”
The Black Bears of the Kueng gang in charge of market security and the Skeleton Mages responsible for appraising goods appeared.
Kyuui!
Kyuui!
Contrary to their cute appearance, the aggressive hamsters immediately tried to fight.
“Alright, since you attacked us first, now you’ll work for Sejun Company!”
“Hmm… Five years should be appropriate.”
Thus began the process of recruiting employees.
Kyuui!
Kyuui!
The 10,000 hamsters united their strength to fight, but,
Kuooooong!
The Black Bears were originally from the 80th floor of the tower.
And,
“Magic, bind the enemy! Bind.”
“Earth, hold the enemy down! Stone Hand.”
“Fire, trap the enemy! Flame Cage.”
The Skeleton Mages were elite soldiers who had once served Regius, the Lord of Bones who ruled the 96th floor of the tower.
“Since you disrupted business today, we’ll forgive this incident if you work as Sejun Company employees for 5 years! Quickly stamp the contract!”
“But don’t worry too much, we’ll give you three meals a day and even pay you a salary.”
In the end, the thoroughly defeated hamsters had no choice but to press their tiny prints on the contract, and
Kyuui…
[My dad is Duke of the Thunham Empire…]
Kyuui…
[I’m a prince…]
But now, they were all equally five-year temporary employees of Sejun Company.

Black Tower, 99th Floor.
“Baby, is my cooking really that bad?”
Elizabeth, shocked by her child’s words, asked hesitantly.
“It’s terrible! Mom’s cooking isn’t cooking! I’m only going to eat brother-in-law’s cooking from now on!”
The baby black dragon delivered a devastating blow to Elizabeth with a brutally honest remark.
“To say my cooking isn’t cooking…”
Elizabeth was deeply hurt by her second child’s words.
Mother-in-law, I’m so sorry.
Sejun felt a pang of guilt seeing Elizabeth like that but didn’t stop his baby brother-in-law.
I must endure. If we don’t seal mother-in-law’s cooking here, it’s over! An even greater calamity will come!
Determined not to eat Elizabeth’s cooking ever again, he held back with all his might.
Good job, baby brother-in-law! Deliver the final blow!
Out of Elizabeth’s sight, Sejun patted the baby black dragon’s back in silent encouragement.
At that moment,
Chuk.
Elizabeth put a bite of her own cooking into her mouth.
And then,
“Urgh!”
The Devil Queen, no, Mother-in-law, self-destructed after tasting her own cooking.
“I didn’t know my cooking tasted like this…”
Elizabeth finally realized the truth about her food.
Just like Aileen, she never tasted her food while cooking.
Thanks to this, Elizabeth’s cooking was perfectly sealed, and
Growwwl.
“Brother-in-law, give me food please!”
The baby dragon looked at Sejun with sparkling eyes, asking for food.
“Alright. Today’s menu is Dragon Nugget Chicken!”
Sejun decided to make dragon-shaped nuggets in honor of his hero baby brother-in-law who sealed mother-in-law’s cooking.
“You’re the best, brother-in-law!”
The baby black dragon cheered, even though he had no idea what Dragon Nugget Chicken was.
“Puhuhut.”
Kuehehehe.
Kihihit.
Theo, Cuengi, and Blackie watched while secretly clinging to Sejun’s body as he cooked, and
“Brother-in-law, I want to watch too!”
The baby dragon reached out his little arms, asking to be carried.
“Alright.”
Sejun lifted the baby dragon onto his back so he could watch him cook.
After a while,
When everyone, including Elizabeth, was enjoying a happy meal,
“Ah, I just remembered.”
Sejun, who had been eating enthusiastically while competing with the baby dragon, suddenly spoke up.
“Puhuhut. Great hybrid Chairman Park, what did you remember, meow? It must be something amazing, meow!”
Theo looked at Sejun with eyes full of expectation.
“Yes. Of course it’s amazing. Because it’s my baby brother-in-law’s name.”
Sejun replied confidently.
Name?!
Hearing the word name, the baby dragon and the Blackie family looked at Sejun with eyes full of anticipation.
“Bongryong.” (TL: Bong(봉) meaning ‘seal’ and Ryong(룡) meaning ‘dragon’.)
The Dragon of Sealing. Bongryong.
It was a meaningful name to honor the achievement of sealing Elizabeth’s cooking, but,
“Waaaahhh! Why is my name Bongryong?!”
The baby black dragon, now named Bongryong, burst into tears.
“Son-in-law Park, maybe you should reconsider…”
Even Elizabeth subtly expressed her dissatisfaction with the name.
And,
Kihihit.
“Puhaha! Bongryong, really?”
Kkiruk!
Shararang!
‘It’s too funny!’
Karurur.
Ppyak!
The Blackie family laughed at the name ‘Bongryong’.
However,
Mumu…
Once again, Mubalchil couldn’t bring himself to laugh.
At that moment,
[You have achieved the great feat of creation for naming a great dragon and a sacred being.]
[Awakening unique talent: Namer for achieving the great creative feat.]
[As a reward for achieving the great feat of creation, the cost of staying on the 0th floor of the Black Tower has been reduced by 1%.]
Messages appeared.
“Namer?”
[Unique Talent: Namer]
→ When you give a name to an unnamed being, the name will be imbued with special power. (The better the name, the stronger and more unique the power imbued.)
→ This talent is a Unique Talent that only one person can possess.
“Special power is imbued?”
Hehehe. My naming skills have finally been recognized.
While Sejun was reading the talent description with a satisfied expression
Kuung!
Bongryong, who was crying because he didn’t like his name, suddenly started getting stronger.
Sejun’s Namer talent had been activated.
As a result, all of Bongryong’s stats increased by 10,000.
“Uh?! Mom, I just gained a Power!”
“What kind of Power?”
“It’s called ‘Seal’.”
He also gained the <Power: Seal> that could seal anything he wanted.
“Oh! That’s a great Power. Congratulations.”
“Puhihihi.”
Bongryong smiled brightly after receiving Elizabeth’s congratulations.
But,
…
There was one man who couldn’t smile. Park Sejun.
I’ve been surpassed by my baby brother-in-law…
Bongryong’s stats suddenly skyrocketed, making Sejun weaker than a baby dragon not even a day old.
Baby Brother-in-law, I can’t let you surpass me!
Determined to rename his baby brother-in-law, Sejun quickly got to work.
Let’s go with a name starting with ‘A’…
He shouted the first word that came to mind.
“Ace!”
As expected, when a touch of malice was involved, the quality of the name improved.
[Renaming Bongryong Pritani to Ace Pritani.]
[It is currently impossible to completely rename a great dragon with your current abilities.]
[Combining the two names.]
[You currently lack the ability to imbue special power into the second name.]
[The second name does not contain any special power.]
[Bongryong Pritani’s name has been changed to Bongryong Ace Pritani.]
“A failure…”
As Sejun was feeling dejected
“Wow! Mom! Brother-in-law changed my name! Now I’m Bongryong Ace Pritani!”
“That’s great! Then we can call you Ace, right?”
“Yeah!”
Ace was overjoyed. While it was a complete failure for Sejun, it was a perfect success for Ace.
After all, he got everything he wanted- stats, a power, and even a new name.
Baby brother-in-law! Does it feel good to have everything?!
While Sejun was looking at Ace with eyes full of envy and jealousy,
[The tower’s administrator says that the Black Tower has connected to a place called Hamk.]
[The tower’s administrator says this has nothing to do with you, but you should know.]
Aileen spoke up.
“Hamk?”
Hamk… I’ve heard that somewhere before…
As Sejun was trying to recall his memory,
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, Hamk is where Kalchi is from, meow! This is great, meow! Let’s take over Hamk too, meow!”
Theo exclaimed excitedly.
“But we won’t be able to go, right?”
When Sejun said this,
[The tower’s administrator says that if you want to go, you can do so as a mid-level administrator.]
This was a new feature that came with Black Tower’s upgrade.
“But won’t it cost a lot to stay?”
[The tower’s administrator says since Hamk is a level 7 world, the cost won’t be high.]
“Level 7 world?”
Worlds also had levels according to their strength.
The higher the level, the stronger the beings inhabiting that world. Additionally, the world’s capacity to endure powerful forces also increased.
For reference, Earth was classified as a Level 1 world, the weakest.
This was why the cost of staying there had been so high. It was a system where immense power was balanced by money.
“Really? Then should we go and visit Kalchi?”
“Puhuhut. That sounds good, meow!”
“But did Kalchi say where he lives?”
“Puhuhut. I don’t know, meow!”
“Really? Then let’s go down the Tower and gather some information first.”
“Puhuhut. Alright, meow!”
And so, Sejun decided to go down the tower.
At that moment,
“Brother-in-law! Take me with you!”
Ace grabbed Sejun’s pants and pleaded.
“No way. Ace, you’re still too young, and it’s dangerous.”
“But Brother-in-law is weaker than me!”
This brat… no, this baby brother-in-law kept hitting him with facts at the worst times.
Sejun was left speechless by Ace’s words.
“Guys…”
He quietly called his companions, without Ace noticing.
“Get in…”
He sent them into the Void Storage.
And then,
Shwaaaak.
Unfolding the Land Deed of the 4th floor of the Black Tower, Sejun quickly disappeared.
A short while later,
“Waaah! Mom! Brother-in-law left me behind!”
Ace, realizing too late that Sejun had gone without him, clung to his mother and bawled his eyes out.
“Ace, your brother-in-law left you behind because you’re still young and he was thinking about your safety. So let’s grow up quickly, okay? Stop crying now.”
“Okay! Sniff! Hic. Hic. Waaah! I can’t stop crying!”
“It’s okay. Why don’t you imagine eating the food your brother-in-law will make for you?”
“Okay! Puhihihi.”
Ace smiled at the thought of eating Sejun’s food.
Puhyu-puhyu-
Soon, he drifted off to sleep in his mother’s arms.
***
Black Tower, 4th Floor.
“Move aside! I must meet Sejun-nim and Theo-nim!”
104.28.193.250
Clatter, clatter.
Kalchi dashed straight toward the waypoint, cutting across the vineyard while evading the Dragon Warrior Guards protecting the grape farm.
“Intruder! Protect Sejun-nim’s farm!”
The Black Skeletons stepped in to block Kalchi.
This was because Kalchi, charging fiercely toward the farm, was exuding an intimidating aura.
At that moment,
[You have arrived on the 4th floor of the Black Tower.]
…
..
.
Thud!
Suddenly, Sejun’s leg appeared in Kalchi’s path, and the two collided.
“Ugh!”
Sejun clutched his leg, overwhelmed by the sharp pain shooting through his shin.
If his bones weren’t dragon bones, it would have been enough impact to break them.
That hurts!
Rustle, rustle.
While Sejun was rubbing his leg,
“Ah! Sejun-nim, you’ve come to see this Kalchi?!”
I’m very honored!
This time, I will properly demonstrate my loyalty!
Lick, lick, lick.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Kalchi clung to Sejun’s shoe and enthusiastically began licking it.
