Solo Farming In The Tower Chapter 835 108: Santa Part-Time Job (1) / 832
Previously on Solo Farming In The Tower...
TL: Hanguk
"Okay. Depart!"
Sejun, clad in a Santa outfit, gave the command.
"Puhuhut. Understood, meow!"
Kueng!
Kking!
"Depart!"
Theo, Cuengi, Blackie, and Taecho, all attired in Rudolph outfits, eagerly started hauling the sleigh that Sejun occupied.
(Pip-pip! In that case, I'll open a dimensional gate!)
[Destination: Odron (Level 6 World)]
Incidentally, the Rudolph attire provided by Santa Sejun indicated the target world for gift distribution and the identities of the recipients.
Naturally, Sejun's Santa outfit had also come from Santa Sejun. In contrast to the rest, Sejun's version offered protective and boosting capabilities for the body.
[You have reached Level 6 World Odron.]
In this manner, Sejun along with his group reached the initial stop.
"Huh? No chimney in sight?"
How are we supposed to get inside?
Trouble arose immediately. The inhabitants of Odron resided in caves, leaving no chimneys available.
"Meow?! Chairman Park, without a chimney, this won't do, meow?!"
"Right. Santa enters via the chimney."
"Meow! That's the rule, meow?!"
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Father, Cuengi will construct a chimney then!]
Cuengi, eager for a good deed point from Sejun's remark, replied with enthusiasm.
"Hold on. Father will handle it this round."
Sejun swiftly halted Cuengi.
Should Cuengi attempt to fashion a chimney by ripping apart a roof, not just the accumulated good deeds would vanish, but he'd end up in deficit.
My Cuengi toiled so diligently to gather those...
Memories surfaced of Cuengi beaming happily each time he gained a good deed point.
At that moment,
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Butler! Great Blackdolph shall create the chimney!]
Pababak.
Having fully immersed in the Blackdolph role after consuming five roasted dried sweet potatoes, Blackie dug into the earth vigorously with his forepaws. Yet, at that pace, he might not finish even one chimney by dawn.
Hehehe. That deducts one good deed point for Blackie for the moment.
I'll remove one roasted dried sweet potato from his gift subsequently.
A sly grin crossed Sejun's face as he regarded Blackie.
Kwa… dududuk…
Next, he firmly grasped the ground with his palm and
"Sever."
Employing the talent: Transcendent Rock Mage, he sliced the rock in a circular shape.
Ku… goong…
Then gently raised it.
Afterward,
[Maytin]
-5 years old
-Good deeds earned this year: 12 times (excellent member)
-Gift: Kuku's Strange Adventure Book
Via the precisely formed opening, Maytin, the intended recipient, was visible, slumbering peacefully.
Kwoong…
Sejun silently set the rock aside and delved into the gift sack accompanying his Santa attire.
"Maytin."
He uttered the name of the gift's beneficiary. In his grasp lay a volume named 'Kuku's Strange Adventure'.
"I'll return shortly."
"Puhuhut. Great Hybrid Chairman Park, allow Vice Chairman Theo to accompany you, meow!"
"If you join, the rest will insist too, so stay put. I'll be back soon."
"Meow… Alright, meow. Hurry back, meow!"
"Sure."
Sejun restrained Theo from trailing and descended quietly through the aperture, set the book by Maytin's pillow, and ascended rapidly.
Srrrk.
He repositioned the freshly severed rock into the gap and
"Fix."
Rejoined the stone.
"Hehehe. Flawless."
"Puhuhut. I sense it, meow!"
"…?"
Hence, Sejun flawlessly executed the inaugural Christmas gift handover.
"Good. On to the following dwelling!"
Together with his team, he commenced the official gift distribution.
Given Sejun's sluggish actions, subsequently
"Puhuhut. Meow!"
Theo crafted the opening,
Kueng!
Cuengi hoisted the stone,
"Thanks."
Sejun slipped into the hole, handed over the gift, and emerged,
104.28.193.250
"Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot. Power of the Earth…"
Iona mended the spot to its prior condition.
And subsequently,
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Santa Butler! Quicker!]
"Santa Daddy, you're performing splendidly!"
Blackie and Taecho vigorously encouraged Sejun.
Shortly after.
"Okay. Finished! Paespaes, proceed to the subsequent world!"
(Pip-pip! Understood!)
The Christmas gift dissemination in Odron concluded, and Paespaes generated a fresh dimensional gate.
"Everyone, onward."
"Puhuhut. Yes, meow!"
"Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot. Affirmative."
Kueng!
(Paespaes. Yes!)
Kking!
"Yes!"
Sejun mounted the sleigh drawn by his allies and traversed the dimensional gate. Some time elapsed.
……
Snowflakes started drifting softly from the heavens in Odron. It marked a white Christmas.
***
[You have reached Level 9 World Dimaon.]
"Oh. Chimneys are present here. Excellent. Let's expedite the deliveries."
"Puhuhut. Agreed, meow!"
Sejun hastened the Christmas gift distributions. With numerous worlds remaining, he accelerated his efforts.
"Fine, I'll return promptly."
For the initial delivery in Dimaon, Sejun cautiously descended the chimney into the structure.
What's this place?
He crept softly through the space, searching for the recipient.
'Found you.'
[Myoki]
-3 years old
-Good deeds earned this year: 2 times (Regular member)
-Gift: Poop Jelly made by Master Jelly Craftsman Miffy
Before long, he located a young Yellow Minotaur babe clutching a goat stuffed toy firmly in sleep. Being so tender, Myoki matched Cuengi's stature and appeared utterly adorable.
'Poop jelly?'
Quite an unusual choice.
Sejun let out a soft laugh at Myoki's distinctive fancy.
"Myoki."
From the gift sack, he retrieved a verdant jelly resembling feces. A subtle grassy aroma suggested it derived from grass ingredients.
Sweet dreams, and savor it well.
Sejun positioned the poop jelly near Myoki's pillow, then withdrew a warm basin of herbal porridge from the Void Storage and placed it alongside.
As Sejun prepared to ascend the chimney,
Neummeo?
[Who are you?]
A deep, authoritative tone resounded from Sejun's rear.
…?
Sejun stiffened and pivoted stiffly, akin to a mechanical doll, to behold a Yellow Minotaur resembling Myoki. However, the proportions differed enormously.
Neummeo.
[I inquired your identity.]
Mulbak, the family patriarch and Yellow Minotaur, interrogated Sejun once more, wary of the home invader.
"I'm… Santa…"
Sejun responded with a shaky tone.
Yet-
Neummeo? Neummeo.
[What? Santa? No Santa could be this feeble.]
"Huh?"
Neummeo. Neummeo. Neummeo.
[Santa is a mighty entity who felled our king, Nolta-nim of the Yellow Minotaurs, and bestowed a gift. You're far too frail. Thus, you aren't Santa.]
"What?"
Felled him and delivered a gift?
What escapades has Santa Sejun undertaken?
'No, crucially, I am Santa!'
Nevertheless, Sejun's frailty led Mulbak to dismiss his claim.
Neummeo.
[Hence, you're a burglar.]
Worsening matters, beyond failing recognition as Santa due to weakness, he was now deemed a thief.
"No. I'm no thief. I am Santa…"
Sejun hastened to dispel the confusion, but
Neummeo. Neummeo.
[To pilfer from my abode, I, Mulbak. Thief, feel Mulbak's punch.]
Whoosh.
Mulbak's fist tore through the atmosphere toward Sejun. Its velocity left Sejun scarcely able to respond.
Right then.
Neummeo! Neummeo!
[Father! Santa brought poop jelly! This herbal porridge tastes amazing!]
Myoki's joyful cry rang out.
Poop jelly?! That's the very item our Myoki yearned for from Santa...
Mulbak abruptly halted his strike.
And then.
"Hah! You actually tried to strike the mighty Hybrid Chairman Park! Such impudence, meow! Here, stamp this immediately, meow!"
To shield Sejun, Theo had stealthily positioned himself ahead, brandishing the stamp while declaring.
Neummeo?
[Could you be… Santa?]
Mulbak queried, eyeing Theo. Noting Theo's prowess, Mulbak deemed it plausible.
"No, meow! I'm Vice Chairman Thedolph, meow! The true Santa is Chairman Park beside me, meow!"
Neummeo? Neummeo?
[What?! Him?!]
Despite Theo's assertion, Mulbak viewed Sejun with skeptical gaze.
But soon..
Kueng?! Kueng!
[Santa Father, what's happening?! Cudolph arrives to assist!]
Cuengi's arrival followed.
Must Santa possess personal strength?
Especially with such formidable aides?
Mulbak's conviction began to falter.
Kking!
[Santa Butler! Great Blackdolph initiates mental training!]
"Santa Daddy, Teecdolph is here for support too!"
Thunk.
"Yap."
Following a session of mental training courtesy of Blackie and Taecho, Mulbak at last embraced Theo's account completely.
Ah. Thus, Santa's attendants subdued Lord Nolta. Santa merely placed the gift.
Although this sparked a significant misconception.
As a result, tales circulated in Dimaon of four mighty Rudolphs safeguarding Santa: Thedolph, Cudolph, Blackdolph, and Teecdolph.
"What's with this illustration?"
The next year, during Santa Sejun's solitary visit to Dimaon, he often encountered sketches depicting Santa guarded by four Rudolphs. Naturally, excluding horns and ruddy noses, the Rudolphs resembled no reindeer whatsoever.
Neummeo. Neummeo.
[Santa-nim, forgive me. I erred.]
While Mulbak inclined his head in remorse upon accepting Sejun as Santa.
"Puhuhut. Now that you comprehend, accept your penalty, meow!"
Splat.
Theo imprinted the stamp on Mulbak's lowered head's rear.
[Congratulations.]
[You have awakened as a full-time employee upon entering Sejun Company.]
…
..
.
[You are the pioneer joining Sejun Company in Level 9 World Dimaon.]
[You have assumed the role of interim branch manager for the Dimaon branch.]
[Kindly persist in enlisting Sejun Company staff in Dimaon.]
[A full-time employee communication network is now active in Level 9 World.]
Mulbak took on the provisional branch manager position for Sejun Company's Dimaon outpost.
Soon after.
Neummeo!
[Farewell!]
Neummeo! Neummeo!
[Santa-nim, farewell! I'll perform abundant good deeds this year too, so return next year!]
Sejun and his group, bidding adieu to Mulbak and Myoki, advanced to the next residence harboring a child expecting a Christmas present.
Yet.
Neummeo?! Neummeo?!
[Who are you?! A thief?!]
Perhaps due to Sejun's vulnerability, detection occurred at every visited home.
"No! Not a thief, I'm Santa!"
Whenever delivering a gift, Sejun needed to rectify the misconception.
"Vice Chairman Thedolph."
"Puhuhut. Understood, meow!"
Ultimately, Sejun resorted to the tactic of rendering occupants unconscious prior to entry.
[Another full-time employee has integrated into Sejun Company's Dimaon branch.]
Mulbak endured nonstop alerts throughout the night of fresh full-time employee additions.
Thud.
Post Theo's knockout of yet another Yellow Minotaur.
"Puhuhut. For troubling our esteemed Hybrid Santa Chairman Park, endure the stamp, meow!"
Splat.
He applied the stamps.
Without Sejun's awareness, Sejun Company kept growing.
After some duration.
"Where might Noban reside…"
Upon Sejun accessing the palace of Noban, Yellow Minotaurs' prince.
Neummeo!
[Santa, I've awaited you!]
Nolta, Yellow Minotaurs' king, poised for revenge on last year's loss, welcomed Sejun and his entourage.
And promptly.
"Whew. Vice Chairman Thedolph."
"Puhuhut. Understood, meow!"
Neummeo…!
[Santa, I demand a rematch!]
Thud!
He suffered another knockout this year.
"Puhuhut. Welcome aboard the company, meow!"
Splat.
Naturally, he received the stamp as well.
With that, the Christmas gift delivery in Dimaon wrapped up.
(Pip-pip! Now, to the following world!)
Sejun and his companions passed through the dimensional gate into yet another realm.
