Leveling Up, By Only Eating!

86. The Trial of Swords and Shields

"…… 2%, so we don't have to worry too much?"

"Of course, now that I've analyzed the level, the amount of stats, the skills of the Minghyuk user, it doesn't make any sense. If the variable does not appear instead."

Variable? "

Team Leader Park hesitated about the word variable.

Lee Suk-hoon said to him.

"If the appetite challenges the ordeal, Min-hyuk will be able to go through the trials with a 'helper', and if the supporter makes Min-hyuk users much more powerful than usual..."

"Impossible."

His words were literally like a great priest.

Someone who can make Min-hyuk's ordeal strong enough!

However, the Legendary Guild was regrettably a minority guild, but there were no clear priests or buffer abilities.

The deceased Koru? His case was' paladin ', so the skill was attacking.

"You can rest easy."

"……."

Hmph!

And Migration listened to that and turned around.

A banner for her special user management team!!!

When Park Min-gyu or herself says this, the situation develops in a completely different direction than they anticipated.

That is, 'You can rest assured.'

'It's ominous...'

Immigration became a serious expression by looking at the monitor.

A sword and a shield.

He explained that Min-hyuk, who was drunk on the idea of eating beef, woke up from thought.

"The challenge of the sword and shield is simple. Pope Min-hyuk... No, Min-hyuk will have 100 troops. And so am I."

Min Hyuk shook his head at him.

"And Min-hyuk and I will pass through the long land that looks the same to the troops. It's the same place as Min-hyuk's, but it's a different place."

Min-hyuk could easily understand that.

The places of challenge are the same, but they are different.

"Do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand."

Min Hyuk shrugged his head.

Both conditions were the same.

"If you achieve your target within about 20% of me, Min-hyuk will be able to continue the next trial with ease."

If Croseu achieves a target plot of 80% and Minhyuk achieves a target plot between 60 and 80%, he will pass this test.

"What if I could do it with a higher attack?"

"… I don't know."

Croseu smiles bitterly. We don't even know what will happen.

But it won't be easy.

"I knew you were really smart when I was with Min-hyuk. But I was called the master of all men with swords and shields."

One of the continental legends, Croseu.

He is a master of all swords and shields.

There is also an anecdote that he used only 200 troops to carry out various tactics and make about 10,000 troops retreat.

The god of war that Min-hyuk once fought, Klina, is a different person from the god of death Bach.

As a 'monarch' and 'god' class, they had the main abilities of commanders, but had never actually lived in a battlefield where they died and killed.

On the contrary, Croseus, who lives in the world of Athens, has actually seen hundreds more wars.

It's a different quality.

And Croseu began to tell me more.

"This trial is different from the regular subjugation, so your troops grow quite quickly every time you hunt. So it's very important that we keep our troops alive with minimal casualties."

We have to live with minimal damage to continue to exert more power as we grow stronger.

Conversely, if we lose our troops constantly, we are very likely not to make it to the end.

"And then there are three boss monsters, and, you know, the last one is never pleasant. And whenever you hunt boss monsters, you'll find useful parchment or potions, so be aware of that as well."

Min-hyuk put all the information into his head.

"Here we go. Be careful."

Croseu spoke with all his heart.

If he goes through trials and dies, he will no longer be able to drink his watermelon juice!

And Min-hyuk became a light and disappeared.

* * *

Park, a soldier with his eyes closed, desperately wished again and again.

'Please… please…'

And the other 99 soldiers had that in mind.

There were a total of 100 soldiers who stayed in Atlantic territory hundreds of years ago.

They're all dead. But I was able to wake up temporarily thanks to special powers.

And they realized that if they didn't die in this trial, they could become human bodies again for just one day and only walk around in the Atlas area.

'I will definitely go to Mother's grave alive without dying in the trials...'

After waking up for hundreds of years, Park was going to visit her beloved mother's grave in her free time during the day.

So, please, I pray the commander is Croseus.

As for Croseus, he will save many of these people and let them overcome this ordeal.

But Park opened his eyes.

"Hello, everyone."

A man with a soft smile was bowing his upper body politely.

He looked very peculiar, shaking hands with the soldiers one by one.

Park grabbed his hand.

'This guy... leads us through that ordeal...?' '

We will also be able to compete with Croseus.

You didn't make a bad choice, did you? '

Park knows.

The four trials that exist in the territory of Atlas must be well chosen according to the nature of the owner.

If you have a high dexterity stat, you have a trial in Eden.

Luis' ordeal if you have high divinity.

This sword and shield is a test if you have high attack and defense power and are able as a commander.

The reason I knew this was simple:

The soldiers here were not ordinary soldiers.

They are people from the legend that Croseu retreated 10,000 troops with 200 troops in the past.

100 to Kroseu right now, 100 to Minhyuk.

Park was also a more special and outstanding Hidden NPC and serves as their centurion.

"Excuse me, Commander, may I ask what you do for a living?"

Park said with a small wish.

Min Hyuk said to him.

"This is my job...... I'm a chef."

"……."

Immediately, all the troops lost their words.

Yo, chef? '

'Oh no, why is the chef here!!'

And there are always exceptions!

"Well, it doesn't make sense to be a chef when you're weak, right? '

Park asked again.

"What's your specialty, then?"

Min-hyuk thought calmly and swept his chin.

"Hmm…"

Then I thought about it and said,

"I eat very well."

"Huff!" '

No, we're screwed! '

We're done! You may die as soon as you start!!! '

Have another drink.

"Oh, thank you so much."

Park thought.

'Mother...'

It was a park that I missed even more when my mother died suddenly.

Min-hyuk said when everyone was disappointed but not particularly well.

"Oh, and...... As much as I eat well, I hope our soldiers eat well, too." "

Min Hyuk pulled something out of his inventory.

It was in some sort of transparent glass and something elongated in it.

And the contents of it were red or green.

And there was dew outside the transparent glass.

Hey, what's this? "

Commander Min-hyuk smiled.

"Watermelon juice, melon juice, banana juice, strawberry juice and mixed berry juice."

"……?"

Everyone wondered.

* * *

"Khh!"

Park was amazed at the watermelon juice that was tasted for the first time in the hot steam tub heat.

The other soldier, Luke, is tasting melon juice.

"Wow... Why is there ice in this little bowl?" "

"That's a relief!!"

They felt better. However, the park regained its grief.

"Is it... hard to see my mother again?" '

He smiles bitterly. Other soldiers were admiring the taste of the drink, but they thought they were going to die in this trial.

And now at this hour. Min-hyuk, a chef, was quickly making food.

In the past, he created a legendary dish for the first time and won the title 'Legendary Creator'.

That's when the buff doubled. Depending on the title or various other things, his buff amount can be converted to a culinary specialty and made into a dish containing about four times more buff than when he learned cooking skills.

Enough to feed these 100 people.

"Let's help the commander."

"Yes, you should."

The soldiers quickly approached Min-hyuk after eating a drink and helped him.

Park also rolled up both sleeves.

They were clearly disappointed in Minhyuk, but they were the ones who knew right and wrong.

Even weak commanders are their commanders.

In addition, He is a master cook himself. How can the things below remain silent?

"Thank you for your help."

"Speak freely. Commander."

"Hmm."

Min Hyuk looked at Park once.

His name came to mind.

The same was true of the level.

"A soldier with a level of 473..."

They were far more powerful than the Ipilips or the Colodis.

Min-hyuk soon said.

"Then let's do it."

Min-hyuk's current cooking was chicken. I wanted to let the soldiers who would accompany me receive the world of "The Chieftain God."

Of course, there was another reason.

"You're a chef, why did you choose sword and shield testing?"

Min-hyuk thought for a moment about Park's cautious questions.

"He's a chef, but he's tough."

"Yes?"

When Park tilted his head, Min Hyuk smiled.

Min-hyuk saw soldiers working to help him.

"With all these nice and gaudy soldiers, I should spread the word, too, right? At least I'll smash Lord Croseu's nose in."

"That would be nice."

Park smiled, but his insides were bitter.

Croseu.

He can never win.

He was called the sword and shield, but was also called the "God of Tactics."

Then, Min-hyuk finished the chicken one day and heard the buff notification.

And Min Hyuk said.

"Centurion Park."

"Yes, Commander."

"Are the soldiers here and Lord Croseu's forces the same?"

"Of course."

"But at the same time, what if your strength and your speed went up about 14 percent, and your swordsmanship, your spear, your archery grew to a level?"

"...... Then, we'll be able to hit it early. But it can't be, can it?"

Why do they ask that question all of a sudden, instead of cooking?

Park couldn't understand. And Min Hyuk smiled softly.

"I'm saying it's possible."

"Yes?"

"It's possible. And one more thing."

I saw a vast land of Minhyuk.

This is where the trials begin.

Monsters will appear if we cross this safe zone now.

Looking there, Min Hyuk said.

"We will go on without hunting the boss monsters that are there."

"…… W-what is that supposed to mean?"

Min Hyuk stared at the distant place and smiled.

"Instead, I'm going to make an ally of mine."

Park couldn't understand what he was talking about.

But at that time, Min-hyuk was thinking of one beautification skill of the appetite.

It was a 'Cooking of Temptation' skill.
