Solo Eating to Overpowered - Chapter 29

Episode 29

: X, the successor to the Gourmet King!

Thanks to this, X received a lot of help from even the prickly Kalon.

Would it be any different from Liglian? Moreover, Ligrien is a loyal subject who has been waiting for the Gourmet King for 300 years!

However, Liglian’s reaction was significantly different from what was expected.

Pop! Ligrien’s chin creaked once again.

“I knew you would bring up my name because you are the king of gourmet food.”

Phew! Menacing mana gushed out from Ligrien.

Rattling! X, whose legs were shaking, was shocked.

‘Why is the bar reacting like this?’

I feel like I’m receiving a lot of hate!

X quickly rotated his head.

And when I thought about it, I realized that Liglian’s reaction was not good from the beginning.

‘…Didn’t you say that the Gourmet King was that bastard?’

That bastard.

There was a clear difference in temperature from when Kalon referred to the Gourmet King as ‘him’. It was only then that X changed his position and thought about it. They say they waited 300 years for someone who left without saying a word, but the person who came back was the first successor they had ever seen.

‘I got this all wrong!’

X hurriedly opened his mouth.

“sorry. I knew it was rude to come to me so suddenly. Of course you don’t want to see it. “This guy who hasn’t even looked at his nose for 300 years has chosen a successor and sent him away.”

Chicken restaurant owner.

X dealt with many different people in society.

Then, I realized one truth about life: there is nothing better than talking behind someone else’s back to become friends with them. Did Liglian also sympathize with X’s thoughts?

The energy gradually eased.

Crack! Liglian said.

“I thought it was completely identical, but there is a different side to it.”

“sure. “I cannot do such an inhumane thing as diving for 300 years.”

“done. “Don’t bring up that damn story anymore.”

Perfect! Liglian snapped his bony fingers.

Then the mansion became brighter.

A bookshelf filled with books caught X’s attention.

Liglian asked X, who was looking around.

“Did you think I was a skeleton without even eyes and couldn’t even read? I am the only person on Dead Man’s Beach. “There’s nothing like reading and research to kill time.”

“I thought it was neat, but I didn’t think of it that way.”

“I feel uncomfortable when dust accumulates on my body.”

Is it because it’s a skeleton? The reason for its neatness was a bit unusual.

X looked at Ligrien’s mood as he sat in front of the desk.

‘It seems like he’s suppressing his anger for some reason.’

Liglian waited for the Gourmet King for 300 years.

Alone on Dead Man’s Beach!

It seemed like the loneliness he must have been feeling couldn’t disappear with a light conversation behind his back.

X decided to do his best to please Ligrien.

“How can I help? Just order anything. cleaning? Even so, I have quite a bit of experience living alone. When it comes to cleaning, it’s amazing….”

Exactly! Liglian let out a bitter laugh.

“Say your purpose and then look for something to help? “Are you naive or stupid?”

X felt like he couldn’t breathe.

The sole purpose of coming here is to get the gourmet king’s recipes. It may have been difficult to obtain the recipe at a time when Liglian did not like the Gourmet King. Of course, I had no intention of giving up just because the chances were low.

‘He is not the owner of average strength.’

However, Liglian is a man who lived for 300 years.

Reading the same person’s thoughts would be easier than eating a meal.

X thought it would be better to go out honestly.

“I don’t know what the story is between the two of you. But it’s true that I came here for the gourmet king’s recipes. “It’s natural that you don’t like it, but… how can I ask for it!”

Liglian stared at X with wide eyes.

Soon his jaw joint moved.

“He’s a shameless but honest guy.”

“yes?”

“He has a similar personality to that kid.”

Holy shit!

X closed his eyes tightly.

I showed my sincerity as much as I could, but this time I spit out words similar to those of the Gourmet King.

Considering the life that Ligrien showed, there was nothing to say even if he died this time.

However, the weirdo’s thoughts were as unpredictable as ever.

“Still, unlike him, you have commercial ethics. Maybe it’s a good thing. “I don’t know what would happen if I faced him with my emotions right now.”

Crack! Liglian let out a dark laugh.

X asked expectantly.

“You mean… give me the recipe?”

“It’s not difficult. “I have a recipe.”

X wanted to feel happy right away.

This is Liglian, who can be said to be a key aide to the King of Gourmet.

The effectiveness of the recipe he knows will not be inferior to the bear stance.

‘If you get your hands on this recipe, it’s worth a try.’

X’s stats are no different from those of the top rankers.

If you use the bear stance, it will overwhelm the number one ranking.

Plus, what if you can handle the second recipe perfectly?

‘I can start working in earnest!’

You can proudly work under the name X.

Because the Gourmet King’s recipe contains the power to fight on equal footing with the vast majority of guilds.

X calmed down his pounding heart and spoke.

“thank you! In that case, right now…”

“But.”

Ugh! Liglian looked up and down X’s body.

Dudeuk dudeuk! Then he shook his head.

“It’s a material you can’t handle at your current level.”

“…yes? “You mean you can’t handle it?”

“It’s obvious that you will be eaten by the ingredients.”

Are you saying you’re being eaten by ingredients?

As I said, X belongs to the strong. He is not just a strong man, but a tremendous strong man.

While receiving the effects of Bear Stance, you can be confident that you are the strongest among Fate users.

However, Ex had no choice but to admit to Ligrien’s next words.

“I only know one recipe, just like Kalon. “It’s a recipe that uses the phoenix, a legendary animal, as its main ingredient.”

Phoenix!

It was one of Fate’s legendary animals. First of all, monsters that are given the title of legend are incredibly strong. Also, isn’t Phoenix the guy who appeared in the Fate commercial video?

‘I didn’t know the exact information, but he’s a guy that even the kingdom’s knights couldn’t catch.’

Overwhelming strength!

The destructive power that set the earth on fire with a single flap of its wings!

X clearly remembered that scene.

Because of this, I had no choice but to feel discouraged.

“By any chance…”

It’s no coincidence that the recipe I know is made with phoenix.

No matter how good X is, it would be ridiculous to face Phoenix.

With my current abilities, I would probably be forced to log out with just one flap.

Ligrien’s next words to X were even more surprising.

“Is that all it is? Additional materials will also be impossible to obtain at your level. “Even if you open up your hidden power, it is impossible to obtain even one of them.”

The hidden power here seemed to refer to a bear stance.

Even if you use that rare morale skill, Bear Stance, you won’t be able to get even a single ingredient.

‘What kind of effect does this food have?’

Of course, I had expectations.

However, my heart was not racing or excited because it was a matter of obtaining the ingredients from such a far away country.

X shrugged his sagging shoulders.

“It can’t be helped. I think I came to Liglian too early. sorry for being annoying. If the time comes later, I will visit Liglian again. “Then I will definitely come back with a gift.”

Relationships with NPCs are always important.

X said a polite greeting and planned to leave Dead Man’s Beach.

I wanted to ask about the whereabouts of the other recipes, but thinking about Ligliant’s personality, I couldn’t get my mouth to say anything.

Suddenly Liglian spoke.

“Oh my.”

“…yes? “Are you calling me?”

X was confused, but soon understood.

Liglian lived for over 300 years.

Liglian’s serious voice continued.

“I think I know why you were chosen by that bastard. I also know how heavy the burden you are carrying. So, even though I don’t feel like it, I want to help you.”

What kind of rice cake is this?

Although his personality is unpredictable, Liglian was a colleague of the King of Gourmet.

It hurts to say that he possesses tremendous abilities.

Also, considering the unusual energy he gave off,

it seemed beneficial to get some kind of help.

“If you give it to me, I will be grateful!”

“It’s good because there is nothing rough.”

Crack! Liglian smiled and picked up the pen.

As he ran his pen over the paper, incredibly complex letters and shapes were drawn.

Liglien said, moving his hands constantly.

“I will give you power that is more practical and more powerful than anything else. “That child didn’t need it, but it will be a great help to you, who is still ridiculously weak.”

It’s ridiculously weak for a rare fraud character.

The standards seemed too high, but so what?

X was a person who was ready to listen to double insults as long as he could become stronger.

A nervous X waited for Ligrien.

Soon, Liglian held out a piece of paper to X.

“I hand-carved each and every word out of consideration for your humble level. It won’t be difficult to accept. “If you accept this paper, I will understand that you are accepting my help.”

Is there any reason to refuse help?

X nodded and took the paper.

I looked at the letters and shapes written on the paper.

Then a notification occurred to me.

Tiroling!

[You have acquired the unique skill ‘Death Denial’!]

‘Death Denial?’

X was puzzled for a moment.

Soon another notification occurred to me.

《Deal with a Geek》

Having accepted the help of a geek, you are now in the position of having to run errands for him. The weirdo may or may not have any ill will toward you. In any case, it would be good for your business to grant his request.

Restriction: Those who possess the Death Denial skill

Difficulty: B

Reward: Liglien’s Gift

‘This is a quest, right?’

Quests always bring rewards.

There was no reason to refuse, but things were different now.

X was astonished after checking the contents of the quest.

‘This crazy difficulty level is B?’

Difficulty B is a quest that has a significant impact on the national level.

What kind of errand are you planning on making that have a level of difficulty of B?

X raised his head and looked at Liglian.

For some reason his fingers were glowing.

And a shining finger was pointing towards him.

X, embarrassed, stuttered.

“Now wait a moment. “I don’t know what you’re thinking, but…”

“If you want to get used to something new, the only way is to be exposed to it for as long as possible.”

Something new?

What came to mind was the newly learned skill ‘Death Denial’.

Getting used to that denial of death…

Is this really a call to die?

“Oops!”

Shoo! Soon, a magic arrow was inserted into X’s chest.

Magic Arrow.

A basic magic among the basic magic used only by wizards who have just changed jobs.

Because of this, X could not help but be astonished.

‘Me in one room? ‘How strong is he?’

Because over 20,000 health points were drained from that one basic spell.

A notification he had never seen before appeared before X’s eyes.

[He died!]

Even if you’re a weirdo, you have to have some degree.

I never thought the magic would blow away so suddenly!

X’s eyes darkened as he thought about the terrible death penalty.

‘But what is the skill called death denial?’

Even if there was a death penalty, it was beneficial if it was a usable skill.

X’s curiosity didn’t last long.

Tiroling!

[The unique skill ‘Death Denial’ is activated!]

[Death is denied!]

[Resurrected!]

‘Resurrected!’

X opened his eyes.

“…Your eyes are opening?”

What on earth is going on?

I couldn’t believe it, but they said he had been resurrected as announced.

Munchkin that I eat all by myself
