Solo Eating to Overpowered - Chapter 348
Episode 348
is the same.
The same scenery I saw in my fantasy. There is an apple tree in front that may be hiding a clue to the truth about the Gourmet King.
Is there any need to delay?
X immediately approached the apple tree.
Tiroling!
[You have succeeded in your quest!]
A notification pops up without delay. The difficulty level of the quest to find the apple tree was S rank.
“Well, I have to find something hidden in a place like this…”
Building intimacy with the prickly elves is basic, and the level of difficulty includes the process of persuading them to enter the true world.
X felt proud once again.
“Well, am I going to get the reward with my own hands?”
The reward for the quest was an apple.
Is it not an ordinary apple, but a special apple? Without thinking, X reached out and picked an apple from the apple tree.
Tiroling!
[The fantasy begins!]
“…Why did you keep quiet?”
The fantasy has begun.
*
A sprawling city.
The place was full of life.
‘Is this also the deleted worldview of Fate? Just like I saw in the fragments of the collapsed world.’
I should have looked at the information on the apple tree.
As X was watching the city closely, he heard a familiar voice.
It was the voice of a male gourmet king who was busy soliciting customers on the street.
“The skewers are here! It’s a precious taste that has come over mountains and waters! “Take a bite and go!”
“This is my first time seeing you. Are you a stranger?”
“Hey, what does that matter?”
“but. What matters in our city is ability, not origin! “Give me one.”
Basics of business.
Chatting back and forth with guests. X, who watched this, couldn’t help but be shocked.
‘…How many personalities does that guy have?’
A lively gourmet king never seen before!
Of course, among the ‘gourmet king look-alikes’ I saw in the fragments of the collapsed world, there were some who showed that kind of appearance.
However, they were somehow subtly different and could not be called gourmet kings. But this man was clearly the king of gourmet food.
“Oh oh! “The taste is so outstanding that I’m impressed!”
A taste that only those who are heavenly gourmets can enjoy!
Because the customer’s thrilled face was the same as what X had seen. X thought he had finally found it.
‘It is the fantasy of a true gourmet king.’
You may be able to find a clue that will take you one step closer to his truth.
The fantasy flowed based on the Gourmet King.
Before we knew it, evening came and the Gourmet King returned home.
Crunchy.
The Gourmet King sat on a chair and wrote down something intently.
-…The first business wasn’t bad. I feel fortunate that the results were as great as my nervousness was. Still, I need to try to prepare more diverse flavors.
That’s the Diary of a Gourmet King! X, who was peeking at the diary from behind, got a little excited.
‘The diary has been written since this time.’
This seemed like a fantasy from the Gourmet King’s fledgling days. The King of Gourmet, who doesn’t ask questions at this time, won’t act as suspiciously as he does now.
What does it mean?
Hot!
X clenched his fist.
‘It means that a big clue will definitely come out.’
It takes a while to burn off motivation.
Ssssss.
The fantasy flowed quickly and dynamically.
Fight to the death against giant monsters, move with like-minded colleagues, rescue people in danger, and of course, cook!
“You dream of becoming the king of gastronomy? Haha, it’s romantic, isn’t it?”
He was a gourmet king who even revealed his dreams to others. X, who was watching and listening from the side, was thinking deeply.
‘It’s not the current world view either.’
A worldview in which the Gourmet King, who ruled the continent, established the Kingdom of Arba and disappeared without a trace.
However, the gourmet king in front of us has already entered middle age.
It was long past the time to establish the Kingdom of Arba and abandon everything.
So, this fantasy was not an event that occurred in the current Fate universe.
X sighed.
‘This is why I tried not to think about it.’
What kind of game is this? It’s not even a guessing game, but it’s incredibly complicated. At this point, it was as if I was clinging to Ogi.
Ssssss.
Even as I lamented about my situation, time passed quickly again.
In the meantime, the Gourmet King experienced several breakups.
During the battle, his comrades died, his friends left, and he also said goodbye to the woman he loved.
“…This is all I have left.”
The Gourmet King said while looking at his dishes. The fantasy only showed the appearance of a gourmet king who devoted himself to cooking.
X watched his progress from the sidelines with his own eyes. The king of gourmets who finally developed ‘heavenly cuisine’ after much research and hard work.
‘I had such a hard time with the skills I was using every day.’
He also did not forget to train his sense of taste. I tried sweet, salty, sour, and even poison on the tip of my tongue.
Then one day, I suddenly spread my arms and cheered.
“What heavenly taste!”
The Gourmet King himself had created the rare fraud skill ‘Heavenly Taste’.
Clap clap.
X pretended to clap.
‘You should have shown me this a long time ago.’
As I watched quietly, I felt a new emotion.
Just seeing the past of a true gourmet king was worth the time I spent looking for the apple tree.
The fantasy was reaching its end. As his hair became grayer, his gourmet skills improved day by day.
“It’s five stars.”
5-star heavenly cuisine is a must.
“…I think I’m getting the hang of it.”
The heavenly sense of taste had also awakened and was about to reach the ‘extreme level’. Therefore, X turned on the light in his eyes and watched the illusion.
Since I could learn about heavenly cooking by referring to the diary of the king of gourmets, I looked more closely at heavenly taste training methods.
There was nothing particularly special.
‘I was already doing this, right?’
Eating the same foods over and over again.
In the case of the Gourmet King, it was an apple.
Pick an apple from an apple tree and eat it right away. This was the gourmet king’s heavenly taste training method.
‘As expected, the method is not wrong.’
It was a time when X was proud inside.
Wow!
“…!”
The Gourmet King’s pupils shook as he bit into an apple.
Tiroling!
The notification he heard also reached X’s ears.
[Heavenly taste has reached the ‘extreme level’!]
‘Heavenly taste has reached its peak!’
A gourmet king who has entered the ranks that X has longed for.
I thought there would definitely be cheers if the fresh look you’ve shown so far is the same.
For some reason, the Gourmet King was staring at the apple with shaking eyes. It even looked empty.
‘Is there some problem?’
Shake!
Before I could question it, the fantasy ended.
My vision is getting dark.
In my fading ears, I heard the Gourmet King muttering to himself.
“This world….”
*
Flash!
Hokra smiled happily.
“It looks like you’re finally coming to your senses.”
“How long was I down?”
“I guess it’s been about an hour? “I was really surprised.”
X fell down the moment he touched the apple tree.
Hokra and Gildong were faithfully guarding his side.
Hawkra glanced disapprovingly at the apple tree.
“There was no damage, but it’s definitely a strange tree.”
“Yes. “Something is strange.”
“As expected, you’d better not eat that thing you’re holding.”
“…?”
Under Hokra’s gaze, X looked at his hands.
Quest reward!
There was an apple in the air.
“Apple.”
Although the appearance was nothing special, at the end of the fantasy, I witnessed the Gourmet King becoming agitated after eating an apple.
X checked the information on the apple as confirmation.
-Apple (normal)
It is a sweet apple.
Condition: Can be consumed when the ‘extremely heavenly taste’ is reached.
“…!”
This isn’t just an apple.
The apple tree of the king of gourmets.
As an apple that was opened there, it had very special conditions. It is said that ingestion is possible only when one’s heavenly sense of taste reaches the ‘extreme level’.
X was dumbfounded.
‘The grade is normal, right?’
What happens after eating? Will we see something surprising like the Gourmet King?
Anyway, I couldn’t eat it right now. X carefully packed apples into his inventory.
“I have a new goal.”
“target? “Did you even see a dream?”
Hahaha!
Hocra was satisfied with his word play. X continued speaking without even pretending to smile.
“From now on, I will go on a gastronomic journey to train my sense of taste.”
*
A lecture on the disconnected continent by renowned instructor X! In addition, the cooking buff of Restaurant King X was added.
Due to this influence, even players who used to head to the ground were slowly seeing results.
Forest of Spirits.
An exhilarating shout coming from there.
“I finally won…!”
One by one, players who won the game with the spirits began to appear.
After eating X’s food, I was able to follow X’s seemingly random lectures.
The joy continued day after day in other regions as well.
“Haha! “I never thought the day would come when I would go hunting with humans!”
“I am thrilled. They say that happiness comes after suffering….”
“It’s all thanks to X.”
There were also guilds that went on raids with giants.
“Thank you for working diligently without stopping. How can we all go out and have a drink? “You are X’s fellow countrymen, so I will treat you properly.”
“Is that really true?”
“Are you trying the legendary dwarven beer?”
There was also a party that built intimacy with a dwarf after going through a lot of hard work.
According to rumors, there were also crazy people who headed to the dragon’s nest… but only those involved knew what happened to them.
Anyway, the disconnected continent was changing.
To put it in a bad way, it became noisy.
To put it in a good way, I became more energetic.
NPCs from the disconnected continent were also gradually opening their minds.
“Well, your skills aren’t great, but you have perseverance.”
Because that arrogant Hershawin went so far as to say something like this.
Both players and NPCs were experiencing change and changing.
However, on the disconnected continent, there are beings that are neither players nor NPCs.
Somewhere in the garden of the World Tree.
White-haired Blossom contemplated the disconnected continent.
A quiet, disconnected continent. Uninvited guests came there. Blossom quietly looked down at them.
How should I express it?
It was uncomfortable, but also curious. Of course, the biggest emotion was doubt.
-…Why are these people so passionate about illusions?
Blossom knows.
This world, Fate World, is a fiction and will disappear one day.
Blossom has witnessed countless destructions. But something was different this time.
These players appeared without even knowing them. They became the center and changed the Fate World. It was a different trend than before.
Blossom became anxious.
-…Who are they?
The players were not fictional.
Like puppets, they did not behave as designed and moved uncontrollably.
Yes, it behaved like the ‘strange doll’ I met in the past. Blossom had a headache.
-…I don’t want to think about it anymore.
As I thought deeply, my head started hurting.
I just wanted to forget everything.
A ‘foreign energy’ flowed from around her. The energy colored the surroundings as if they were being erased.
Then suddenly.
Someone came to mind.
-…For what reason?
Among the players, there was one special person.
This is a man who not only invaded the disconnected continent, but also went as far as to invade his own space.
He works more passionately than anyone else in a world of lies. Blossom became genuinely curious about him.
-I want to watch a little more.
Then, the ‘alien energy’ gradually disappeared.
Where are you and what are you doing now?
Blossom remembered his name. It was probably the first name she remembered after coming to her senses.
“X.”
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
