Solo Eating to Overpowered - Chapter 14
Episode 14:
A skilled master of hard work!
X didn’t stop hunting.
The snowy mountain that others avoided and tried to avoid was like a home to X. Hunt and eat, hunt and eat! To X, that was no different from playing around.
“There are a lot of ingredients that I haven’t seen before.”
Also, the new ingredients made X’s eyes sparkle.
The harsh climate of the North created unique food ingredients. X ate all of the ingredients and kept what he could use.
Two days passed like that.
puck! X struck the snow mountain boar with his shield.
Slurp! Then the snow mountain wild boar fell down at once.
X muttered.
“…I think I’ve become too strong.”
Everything is one shot!
The snowy mountain wild boars that overflowed in the snowy mountains, the snowy mountain wolves that suddenly jumped out and gave me a chill, and even the white bear, the ruler of the snowy mountains!
Even if you hit it lightly, it falls down.
X, who was immersed in hunting, checked his stats for the first time in a while.
Name
:
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_
_ crazy. So this is one shot.”
A level of ability that even surprises oneself!
Even based on simple calculations, this is a number that can only be achieved at level 150. 150 is the level of rankers currently in the upper to mid rankings. In addition, his vitality exceeded 5,000, and all his stats grew relatively balanced.
But X thought calmly.
‘Fate rankers are not stupid. Everyone probably has a secret they’re hiding. However, my treasury doesn’t fall behind either.’
Overwhelming status compared to level!
That could be seen as X’s trump card.
But X had a few more tricks up his sleeve. A heavenly dish with endless possibilities and a gourmet king’s recipe that has spread throughout the Fate World!
When he can perfectly handle that secret move, X will be reborn as the absolute powerhouse of Fate World. X steeled his resolve and took the items.
[Saturation level is less than 10%.]
“But Mt. Geumgang is also postprandial.”
I was motivated when I saw the monsters falling down.
X grabbed his hungry stomach and searched through his inventory.
I took out the spices that exposed the bottom.
“It’s very expensive, but I got my money’s worth.”
Status grew dozens of times in just two days!
It was all thanks to the spices.
Natural spices can be seen as magical ingredients that completely change the taste of food in very small amounts. Because of this, it is traded at a very high price both in reality and in Fate.
“I never thought all 12 spices would have different flavors.”
X used those 12 spices very well.
Even though his cooking skills were ridiculously poor, he was able to create countless dishes by combining the 12 spices and the ingredients he had collected.
There were no failures. Each one had an amazing flavor. I also discovered some foods that have outstanding effects.
“Meat is still beef.”
Wow!
X took a bite of grilled beef sprinkled with spices.
A notification came to mind.
[Your heavenly sense of taste has discovered the hidden taste of ‘Ilsung Cuisine Fragrant Grilled Beef’!] [
The energy of the bison spurring the earth is absorbed into your body!]
[Your stamina increases by 1000 points for 60 minutes!]
[Strength for 60 minutes ! This increases by 50 points!]
A deceptive ability that easily overpowers even the priest’s buff!
Among the priest’s buffs revealed to date, there is no buff that can increase physical strength by 1000 points.
There is no buff that increases strength by 50 points.
If priests had this kind of buff, the community would be so angry that priests would explode as a class that destroys balance. X had discovered a food with such incredible effects.
‘This is the synergy of heavenly taste and cooking.’
Can other users achieve this effect by eating the same foods as X?
The answer, of course, was no.
The reason X was able to get this buff was because of his heavenly sense of taste. It could be seen as a personal buff that only X could enjoy.
“Because my strength went up even when I ate rye bread.”
Even when I ate that tasteless rye bread, my strength increased.
I also understood the effect of skyrocketing prices after eating delicious food.
After finishing his meal, X stood up.
“Even this snowy mountain has dried up.”
The monsters’ regeneration could not keep up with X’s hunting speed. There was one level left until the target level of 35, but it was a goal that could be achieved by going to Veneta.
X descended from the snowy mountain.
“More than that, do you think you can kill a cave bear with one hit? “Cave bears are also vulnerable to fire properties, so I think a critical hit would be enough, right?”
By measuring absurd estimates that others cannot even imagine.
*
“Wow, you took the right direction.”
X found footprints in the white snow field. Although it is not visible due to the snow, it is probably the only road leading to Veneta.
Now that I had found the path, it was time to walk diligently.
X closed his mouth and walked away.
When you open your mouth, the heat escapes quickly.
How long until Veneta?
Suddenly, a loud noise was heard from far away.
“Wow! “People, people, save people!”
“what?”
X narrowed his eyes at the shout that was close to a scream.
A boy running from afar.
A snow mountain wild boar chasing after him with fierce force!
X muttered as if he was puzzled.
“Why is the snow mountain wild boar here?”
Snowy Mountain Wild Boar.
As the name suggests, it is a wild boar that only appears in snowy mountains. It does not appear in snowy fields that are quite far from snowy mountains. X, who observed the boy’s behavior, was able to guess the reason.
“It seems like you really touched my heart.”
A bow and arrow in the boy’s hands.
It was clear that the hunt had failed and that they were being chased by snow mountain wild boars. From there, X was able to convince himself that the boy was an NPC. Because there aren’t many users who attack monsters they can’t handle.
‘Wow, how terrible the death penalty is.’
It’s definitely an NPC with its own story.
An NPC where if something goes, something comes.
X pulled out his sword with the intention of picking up the beans and eating them.
“Come this way!”
He gestured to the boy and swung his sword at the snow mountain boar.
Phew! The snowy mountain wild boar that died instantly turned gray.
The boy’s eyes widened.
“That scary guy at once…?”
“are you okay?”
Just like treating a kid who comes to the chicken restaurant with his mom.
X, armed with a pretentious smile, asked kindly.
The boy nodded.
“Thanks to you, I survived. Thank you, adventurer.”
“I’m glad you’re safe. Why did you do something so dangerous? “The snowy mountain wild boar is difficult to catch with arrows alone.”
“…there are circumstances behind it all.”
The boy lowered his head with a gloomy face.
It was clear that there was something behind it. If you’re lucky, you might be able to receive a good quest. X listened to the boy.
“Actually, I am Raan Thiyer, the eldest son of the noble Thiyer family of Veneta. “It’s embarrassing to call myself a noble with an appearance like this, but please understand that I’m trying to protect my family’s pride.”
For someone so young, he has a classy way of speaking. I would have guessed he was a nobleman!
gulp! X swallowed dry saliva.
Even though he was a fallen aristocrat, the atmosphere felt classy.
Also, even if it fails, it is the nobles of Fate that survive for three generations.
X quickly lowered his head and answered.
“no. “I’m sorry I didn’t recognize you.”
“Please raise your head. “I didn’t reveal my identity because I wanted to be treated like a noble.”
“Then do you have any other business?”
Is there a quest you can give me?
Raan opened his mouth in response to X’s subtle question.
“If you don’t mind, could you stop by my house? It may not be an important story anymore… but considering the pride of the family, it is a story that cannot be talked about carelessly.”
The pride of a noble family.
It smelled of extraordinary adventure and reward.
X quenched his appetite.
‘Well, there’s plenty of time.’
X has achieved tremendous growth over the past two days. Since I had time to spare, I thought it would be a good idea to listen to Raan, a nobleman with a story.
X answered with a smile.
“Okay, take the lead!”
*
“Im here.”
Thier’s mansion was located in the snowy mountains near Veneta.
I never imagined that a nobleman’s mansion would be located on a mountain.
Still, there was the advantage of overlooking Beneta at a glance.
‘Veneta was a city that looked like that.’
Veneta!
Although it was incomparably smaller than Narville, it seemed like a city with everything to do. X entered the mansion with the scenery of Veneta in his eyes.
“I’m back, father.”
Raan looked at the portrait and lowered his head.
It seemed like it was probably his deceased father.
X remained silent and scanned the mansion.
‘Did the family’s fortunes shake up when my father passed away? Even if it failed, it was completely ruined. ‘I never thought there would be even proper furniture, let alone a butler.’
Ssang! The appearance of the mansion is so dreary that a cold wind blows inside. Only then did X realize why Raan was being chased by the snow mountain boar.
‘It looks like we even ran out of food in the end.’
Tsk! X clicked his tongue in frustration.
It’s really sad when it’s cold and you’re hungry.
After opening a chicken restaurant, when flies were flying around, the sadness of eating only ramen in the back room! X, filled with shallow sympathy, rolled up his sleeves.
“Excuse me, Raan, but what happens to your family?”
“The only people in the mansion are me, my mother, and my younger brother….”
“I’m glad. “There won’t be a shortage of materials.”
I ate a lot in two days, but there was still enough food left. X went straight to the kitchen and started cooking.
Sssssseu! I activated Heavenly Cooking and prepared the ingredients.
“Oppa, are you back? “Did you catch anything delicious?”
“…Rian, are you awake?”
“Ugh, but who is that guy?”
Raan’s younger sister Lian looked surprised when she saw X. However, the fragrant smell coming from the kitchen made me relax my guard.
X served warm stew on a plate.
Raan said in a gloomy voice.
“You can’t serve a noble guest, but you get food from him… I’m not worthy of being a nobleman. Even if you laugh at me, I have nothing to say.”
X held out a spoon to Raan, who was blaming himself.
“It looks like you have your own story now, so please treat me properly later.”
“of course. “For the honor of the Thier family, I will never forget this debt.”
“me too! “I won’t forget Uncle Lian Yidu!”
How hungry are you?
Raan and Lian almost inhaled their food. Their mother was in bed sick, so Raan had no choice but to carry the dishes and go to the bedroom.
Soon, Raan came out with an empty plate and a bright face.
“My mother told me to tell her that she was sorry for not being able to go out and see her. “I don’t know how to repay this favor… Thank you so much, Mr. X.”
“it’s okay. “It’s not a difficult task.”
In fact, it was X who helped Raan by thinking about the Congo thing. But I had no idea that he was such a desperately poor nobleman. Here, I feel guilty even picking up soybean paste that has fallen on the floor and eating it.
Still, I felt a little proud.
‘Yes, sometimes you have to live like a benefactor and give back.’
If you try to cook everything by yourself, you will become lazy.
When X nodded, thinking about that.
Raan said with his eyes shining.
“Now that I’ve appeased my hunger, I should get to the point. “I will tell you, Mr.
chuck. Raan pointed to the tightly closed door with his finger.
“The reason why the mansion where the Thiyer family has lived for generations is located in the mountains… That is because the Thiyer family mansion is connected to the dungeon.”
“…The Dungeon?”
Dungeon!
You mean that dungeon overflowing with monsters and hiding a huge reward?
Dungeons were the reason why rankers belonging to large guilds were able to level up at an incredible rate. If you monopolize the dungeon, you can monopolize the monsters that pour in.
The number of monsters pouring out of the dungeon is enormous.
X changed his mind about the dungeon that suddenly appeared.
‘Yes, even if you have to pretend, it’s best to eat it all by yourself!’
Dungeon monopoly!
X, with great ambition, opened his mouth.
“It’s the dungeon that caused the downfall of the Thier family… If that’s true, I can’t stay silent. Just tell me and I’ll completely destroy that dungeon!”
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
