Solo Farming In The Tower

ocked by the fact that he had to lose his Churu.

“Don’t be too disappointed.
Let’s talk about our new trading method, Representative Theo”

“Huh?! Did I become a representative meow?”

“I’ll let you be one for an hour.
If you do well in future trades, I’ll give you an hour-long Representative Theo pass.”

“Sounds good meow! Call me that again meow.”

“Representative Theo.”

“Hehehe.
One more time meow.”

“Representative Theo.”

Theo was happy to sit in the Representative ‘s seat, even if just for an hour.
Theo quickly took a seat on Sejun’s lap.

“I want to eat Churu too meow.”

“Alright.”

Sejun took out a Churu and offered it to Theo.

Chirp, chirp, chirp.

Being fed was a nice perk of being a representative.

As Sejun stroked Theo’s head, who was completely won over, they talked about a new business using Theo’s picture rights.
It seemed like there would be a way to bring in things from outside the tower sooner than expected.

There are two ways for items from outside to enter the tower.

One is through vanishing.
At this time, you can bring the items you are holding directly into the tower.
However, you don’t know when or where you will be vanished, and since you are summoned to the first floor, the trade is already over there.

The other is when an awakened hunter enters the tower with the items.

When a hunter enters the tower, they can only bring in about 1kg of outside items.
Items(Tower Items) are excluded from the weight limit.
And when they leave, they can take items without restrictions.

When hunters usually enter the tower, they bring simple things like a hunter’s smartphone called a Hunterphone and simple instant food.

Hunter phones are essential items for hunters because, in addition to the features of existing smartphones, they also had solar charging functions that took into account the always-sunny environment of the Tower and the ability to communicate with team members in close range.

“Although we can’t bring much due to the weight limit, we can at least bring some simple seasonings or coffee.
Do you understand? Employee Theo?”

“Huh? What are you talking about? And why am I suddenly Employee Theo?”

As Sejun’s hand stopped, Theo, who was dozing off while eating Churu, asked.

“Your one hour is over.”

“Already?”

Theo, disappointed, took the remaining Churu and left Sejun’s lap.
Theo had misunderstood sitting on Sejun’s lap and being petted as a privilege of being a representative.

“Next time, bring something useful, and you’ll be Representative Theo again.”

“Got it, meow!”

At that moment,

“Theo, how can you go up to the 38th floor without fighting monsters?”

Sometimes, he was curious but tried not to care.

He didn’t want to care about the outside.
There was no way out anyway.

So he had been trying to ignore it, but when he thought he could get things from outside, his curiosity about the outside popped out unconsciously.

“It’s because I have a Wandering Merchant’s license, meow.”

“A Wandering Merchant’s license?”

“That’s right, meow.”

Theo raised both hands to his waist and spoke proudly.

A Wandering Merchant’s license requires an expensive annual fee to be paid to the Wandering Merchant Association to maintain qualification.

And as the grade increases, so does the annual fee.
On the other hand, the benefits received also increase.

Merchants who pay the fee are protected by the Wandering Merchant Association and can use various convenience facilities.
That’s why they are not attacked by monsters.

“So, Theo, can you bring hunters here?”

“That’s impossible, meow.
Monsters only don’t attack wandering merchants, meow.
Besides, hunters cannot use merchant routes, meow.”

“Merchant routes?”

“That’s right, meow.
It’s a shortcut that merchants take, meow.
A Wandering Merchant’s license is required for merchant routes, meow.”

“A shortcut…?”

“That’s right, meow.
It’s impossible to get here from the 38th floor in just 5 days without using the merchant route, meow.”

“What floor is this?”

Sejun asked, then realized he shouldn’t have asked.

“It’s the 99th floor, meow.”

Theo answered with a bright voice.

“What?!”

In the end, he found out what he least wanted to know.

“Here is the 99th floor, meow.
Didn’t you know, meow?”

Theo kindly repeated his answer and even confirmed it, just in case Sejun had misheard.

Theo went down to the 38th floor in just 5 days, which relieved Sejun.

He thought that if Theo, who couldn’t use waypoints like hunters, could travel back and forth in just 10 days, this place wouldn’t be far from the 38th floor.

So he asked without much thought… and it completely hit the sore spot.

His enthusiasm for the new business deal had disappeared.

While Sejun was spacing out for a moment,

“Sejun! My weekly salary is burning!”

Theo, who was quietly licking the remaining Churu, urgently called Sejun when he smelled the burning fish.

“Ah?! Oh!”

Sejun came to his senses at Theo’s cry.

‘I can’t lose focus!’

Nothing has changed.
It’s just knowing which floor this place is on.

Sejun comforted himself and took out the grilled fish from the fire.
He got a slight burn on his hand while doing so, but he didn’t even know it hurt.

And he thought of another breakthrough.

“Theo, is it possible for me to become a wandering merchant?”

If Theo’s words were true, it meant that one could safely descend the tower just by becoming a wandering merchant.

However,

“Sejun cannot become one.
Only beings born in the tower can become wandering merchants.”

Another blocked breakthrough.

“Damn it! Damn it-!”

Sejun screamed in anger at the impossible reality.

“Hiccup! Why are…hiccup! you doing this?”

Startled by Sejun’s scream, Theo hiccuped.
The rabbits and the venom bees were no different.

The rabbits raised their ears and looked at Sejun with wide eyes, while the venom bees flew around busily flapping their wings.
Even the queen bee peeked her head out of the hive to see what was going on.

“Phew.
Sorry for screaming.”

Sejun apologized to his cave family.
Still, screaming helped calm his heart a bit.

And Sejun made up his mind.

“I’ll eat well and live well here!”
