Leveling Up, By Only Eating!

She frowned.

What is this guy?

I'm really not interested in it at all.

"Hey, do you hear me?"

"Hehe, I can make something with pineapple and cherry in the sauce... Oh, I'll try it later!"

Eventually, Looney's impatience rises up and puts his hands on his shoulders.

"Oh, dear! Kim Suk-hyun is offering you a billion body..."

Bam!

The man shook his hand roughly.

"Oh, dear! I told you before, I'm delicious, why are you bothering me so much?"

"Oh, no…… 10er…"

"Well, 10 blah blah blah, not much! I think it's more important to eat pork chops right now!"

Today, Min-hyuk's personal assets in reality are more than 90 billion.

"Oh, not long...... And Kim Suk-hyun himself..."

"Touch me one more time and I'll stab you to death with a fork!"

The man looks at you as if he was holding a fork as a weapon.

Life really came out of him.

Whoo!

He wields it.

"Tsk, I'm sorry!"

She runs away.

And she whispered to the label.

[Rooney: Dear Label...]

* * *

"Wow, I'm here. Answer!"

Lee said in a hurry.

Kim Seok-hyun stood in front of him with interest.

He had a smile on his mouth.

"One billion. No one can be that blind. But I will draw more than 10 billion in your value. Again... '

Eliminate the competition.

The best isn't for nothing.

Make it on your side.

If it doesn't work, we step on it.

That was Kim Suk-hyun.

And maybe the person who made that dish can use their own paws.

"About the offer..."

Lee Hyun blurred the end of the word.

Kim Suk-hyun's mouth went up.

"Of course I accept..."

"She said no."

"What?"

"…… Really!?"

"Huff!?"

Surprise sounds come from around you.

"What are you talking about? Tell me the truth."

"Now the female user says that she doesn't even know who Kim Suk-hyun is, but she eats doncas and stabs him with a fork until she dies.

"……?"

"And…"

Lee Hyun looked at him and said.

"How many billions are you talking about? He said that the money he eats is more important."

"……."

A moment of silence passed.

And Kim Suk-hyun thought.

'…… bounce, right? You're gonna charge me more now?'

Nonsense.

What's more important than a billion dollars?

The meaning is simple.

This man knows his worth.

That's why I'm saying this to raise the ransom.

That means you can't buy me for that much. A little higher! 'Do.

'That's funny.'

He makes a little smile.

Now in Athens, he arrives in Isvin Village.

And if we go after the Goblin Punitive Force, we'll catch up.

That's where he was headed anyway.

'Yes, if you bounce, you can meet them in person and call them higher. I'm interested in starting a deal myself.'

Suk-hyun Kim.

He was taking a shot with a pot of kimchi soup.

* * *

The punitive force continued on.

Soon we will reach the Bordeaux Plains and begin the full sweep.

Min-hyuk was doing the late hour dishes.

Then I remembered what happened a few days ago.

'Suk-hyun Kim...'

Of course I do.

Min-hyuk also knows the moving waters of the world.

The best chef in the country.

He's a disciple of the Altex. How could he not know?

But Min-hyuk wedged in here.

You want money first? '

He was angry.

I was distracted by the money, but I kept hearing stories about it in my ears.

A culinary delight.

That's what they wanted. They asked for money.

And this is how Min Hyuk learned from his father.

'If you want something from him, never offer money first.'

Before that, God told them to show that they are who they are.

I am a business partner I will trust you with.

This is it.

Min Hyuk was somewhat absurd.

"Where are you going to buy it? And I'm welcoming Mr. Doncas. '

And there was a part of me that was really upset about talking about money when I ate it.

Min-hyuk quickly put it behind him.

It's not worth caring about.

"I've really increased my intimacy."

Now some NPCs who didn't hate Min-hyuk have favored him.

I've been hearing a lot of friendly alerts.

Moreover, they were easily subjugated by the buff effect of what they had cooked.

And now you can hear if they're fighting Goblin Patrols out there.

But what the cooking bottle needs to do is prepare for tomorrow's meal.

'Having someone enjoy my cooking...... This isn't bad either.'

I think so, too.

'But it's the best I can eat. Huff-puff!'

Right then.

[You also made 40% contribution to the Bordeaux Plains Punitive Force.]

[Obtain the Warrior Title of the Punitive Force.]

[Gain Reputation 3.]

"Oh…?"

Min-hyuk was somewhat surprised.

He checked the title first.

[Punitive Force Warrior]

Only Title

Title effect:

5 basic stats +3

Twenty people participated.

Among them, Min-hyuk alone contributed 40%.

A very surprising thing.

Min-hyuk only ate and cooked.

However, this contribution has risen for one reason.

'Because of Buff.'

Soldiers say hunting is easier because of you.

A few percent increase, but the total force of 70 soldiers is increasing and the militia is impacting the entire Punitive Force.

'I heard that if you exceed a certain number, you will change your title.'

These titles are called evolutionary titles.

Assuming an additional 20% increase from 40%, it will change to a better title.

Of course it doesn't change at all.

Some things don't exist.

"Hmph!"

At that moment, Rand enters the room, hearing a faint cough.

* * *

Rand felt the same way every time he saw Min-hyuk.

But I was proud and happy to see him.

He took off with such ridiculous growth.

Lan is really happy to see that.

If I had a disciple, would I feel like this?

Even in the imperial palace, you don't have one of your disciples.

He was a tough cook.

And I tried to maximize the 'flavor'.

And Min-hyuk values' taste 'above all else.

Soon Min-hyuk will leave the Punitive Force.

He walks around the camp at night and sees that the wagon is still lit and enters.

Min-hyuk.

There he was.

He clears his throat naturally.

"Hmph!"

"Hello?"

"Yes. Would you like to sit down? Get some rest."

"Yep!"

However, Min Hyuk brought hard bread and milk.

I suggested it to Lan.

"You can have it, too. Hehe."

"Huh? You talk to me, you look me in the eye. It's like you're gonna grab my hand if you touch it."

Hmph!

Min Hyuk smiled awkwardly.

"Oh, no!"

And Lan narrows his eyes.

"There was enough food for the soldiers for a month...... The coincidence disappeared in an instant."

Hmph!

Number two.

Soon, however, Lan smiles softly.

I allowed myself to eat, and the troops of Isvin are well provided with food.

Min-hyuk also remembered something when he smiled a little because he knew he was joking.

"Then Master Lan didn't see what he was eating."

I've never really seen it.

"It's usually taken as a healthy diet, so you can replace it with something like medicine."

"Oh... really? I thought you were a tastemaker, like me!"

"Taste. Pursue. Taste what others eat."

"……."

The idea that there are people like this also affects the mind of Min-hyuk.

And Lan takes his time to speak slowly.

"I've never tasted it since I was born."

What? "

Min-hyuk was surprised by what he said.

It was the moment Rand said that.

Lan is alerted.

[The god of Athens sanctions you.]

[You cannot give another user a quest because another user is currently processing it.]

Damn it! '

He bites his lip.

Quests you can give.

I wanted to give it to Min-hyuk.

But someone was running it now.

He wanted to give it to Min-hyuk if he had to give it to him.

However, the god of Athens imposes sanctions.

Once this agent comes in, he can't even talk about quests.

"Are you feeling sick?"

"No."

"But... how did you become a master if you can't taste it..."

This is amazing.

Lan faints and laughs.

"dexterity."

"……."

"I put everything on the table."

"Ah…!"

Min-hyuk could tell.

Neither NPCs have the concept of a stat.

Which means that Lan kept his hands on the stunt stain.

'If you raise your dexterity stat by 20, you will be able to increase your taste +1, and you will be able to master food with the influence of dexterity. However, if I don't taste it and go to such heights...'

How many hands do I have to raise?

Are you saying that's even possible?

"I've done everything I could, after the blacksmith, painter, carpenter, miner, fisherman."

"……!"

It's an amazing story.

He cooked for someone else, not for his own mouth.

And at the same time, I thought,

"Oh, I'm sorry..."

Definitely NPC.

But Min-hyuk had more compassion than anyone else.

He knows how important taste is.

I'm sick of eating 5,000 tomatoes a day.

I said stop eating on your belly.

Sometimes I never let them run into the bathroom once or twice.

The ritualistic 'equation' in life is absolutely necessary.

Feeling the flavor is not a small part.

"I really did everything I could to get my hands on that talent, and now that I'm doing it one by one, I can even stand high on my cooking skills."

Min-hyuk thought.

If he had his original taste for the effort he put into it, he might have stood on a craftsman, or even more.

"Food is something to you."

In that question, Min-hyuk thought for a moment.

"Live a new life every day."

"A new life."

"I eat three meals a day. More than 1.5 million lifetimes. But there are more than three million dishes in the world."

"That's right."

"It's healing to imagine eating something different every day, and eating something new every day in a boring, repetitive life. It's good to know and eat, of course."

"Yes."

Lan grins.

I stared at the air silently for a moment.

"I... want to taste it, too."

"……."

Min-hyuk was speechless.

Lan rises.

"Rest."

"Yes."

Lan thinks as he goes out.

For someone like this, not being able to give a quest is a big deal.

He's the real owner who's gonna get it.

He steps out.

"Well……."

Min-hyuk was silent for a moment, thinking about Lan who had lived more than himself.

Then I put the bread in my mouth and wept.

'What does it feel like to have no taste?'

If I eat a sweet potato, does it feel like I'm chewing the eraser out of my mouth?

Maybe.

'Is this...'

Then I think to myself:

Is this the way to the quest?

Possible enough.

A tasteless chef.

But why did Lan turn away without giving him a quest?

We don't know that.

But Lan was the one who taught him how to cook.

I wanted to help because of that.

Then I remembered something.

'Ahh... I wonder!'

Something that popped into his head.

It was one of those other tracking skills.

'I can choose the culinary ability, the type of cuisine I want!'

In fact, it's a material tracking skill that I've always thought I needed to experiment with.

Let's test it this time.

"Uses 1 ingredient tracking skill."

Along with him, a hologram window pops up.

In the future, a kind of cooking comes to mind.

Korean food, food, solar eclipse, Chinese food, etc.

"Umm... Chinese."

When Min-hyuk said that he would get the wheat of the sun, he first came up with a Chinese meal.

[Chinese food is selected.]

[Do you have the desired buff effect?]

"Rescues dead tastes."

[Material in exploration within a radius of 1 km.]

I desperately wanted Min-hyuk.

Not just for Lan.

I felt it.

The one who mentioned dexterity.

Something must be hidden.

Min-hyuk also had a huge ambition to increase his taste in cooking.

You will be notified shortly.

[Exploration failed.]

[Navigation lasts for 3 days depending on the user's travel scope.]

[2 ingredient tracking skills remaining.]

[You may not use the appetite for one day as a penalty.]
