Solo Eating to Overpowered - Chapter 8

Episode 8

Dallas was sweating profusely.

My legs were shaking even when I just stood still.

“Why do you have so many buffalo horns? Panting.”

“Haha, I worked hard to save up for several days.”

“Well, you did a lot of hunting. Panting….”

X handed Dallas all the bison horns he had. Every time you kill a bison, you get a rare item, a bison horn, and if you give one to Dallas, it will arouse suspicion.

‘Let’s leave 30 first and pick up the rest.’

The weight may be excessive, but you can walk, but not run. X looked at Dallas’ face. If Dallas had any vain intentions, he would have to be destroyed on the spot, friend or otherwise.

X, who had been stabbed in the back, was strict about betrayal.

‘But you don’t have to worry.’

It was different from the naive days of Lean Online.

For two years, X ran a chicken restaurant and met many people in real life. I have seen customers who took credit and did not repay, and I have also seen part-time workers who paid their part-time wages in advance and ran away.

Thanks to this, X could be said to have developed eyes for people. Of course, X, who was very suspicious, did not completely trust the other person based on first impressions alone.

Another basis!

Currently, X and Dallas are friends, so if you act hostile towards the other, you will receive a large reputation penalty. Dallas, a priest whose reputation was as important as a merchant, had no reason to commit fraud. For a priest, reputation was more important than gold.

Dallas was lying down on the grassland.

“Phew, I need to sit down for a bit. There is nothing I can do about it because my physical strength is low because I increase my intelligence with my stats. “Oh, if you need a buff, please let me know.”

Dallas, whose face was tired, tried to smile.

Dallas: This guy doesn’t need to worry about being stabbed right now.

After making his decision, X smiled and said.

“Then please do me a favor.”

Pot! X immediately ran towards the bison.

Dallas swallowed his admiration as he looked at X.

“There is nothing rough about you.”

He had no hesitation in hunting and no hesitation in trading. Dallas felt sorry as he looked at the bison horns in his inventory.

“I’m just carrying it around, so can I get three bison horns?”

Bison horns are items that can be received for 3 gold each.

How much does the herb cost for 3 gold?

This is enough money to buy three bottles of expensive mana potions.

Dallas waved his hand when X said he would give him three bison horns. However,

“I am also human, so if something is given to me, I have no choice but to receive it.”

I felt sorry, but at the same time, I felt good.

Dallas was confident that he had met a noble person.

Because good things were already happening.

Dallas became motivated as he watched X hunting.

‘Starting today, the party hunt will continue without stopping. ‘You never know when Mr.

‘This is the last one!’

puck! After hunting diligently, X was able to catch 100 bison. Is this a celebration of that persistent hard work? A notification rang in my ear.

Tiroling!

[You have acquired the title ‘Unflinching Adventurer’!]

X smiled in satisfaction.

“A title that fits me perfectly.”

style!

There were hundreds of thousands of titles in Fate. Each title had different conditions and effects, but ‘Unflinching Adventurer’ was a very useful title.

X opened the status window to check the title effect.

Name

_ Adventurer who does not: Reduces the amount of damage received by 5% and increases the amount of damage inflicted by 5% when fighting a monster of a higher level than oneself.

‘5 percent is not a small amount at all.’

X is the owner of overwhelming stats.

Therefore, I planned to focus on hunting monsters of a higher level than myself, just like I did with the bison. Because I had enough ability to do that.

“hmm. “It’s going to be quite fast, right?”

The title that was perfect for X was an adventurer who was not intimidated!

X took the items and approached Dallas. Dallas jumped up from his seat.

“Really… I have nothing but admiration!”

Dallas was truly impressed by X’s skills.

No matter how high your level is, avoiding all of the bison’s attacks is impossible without your skills. Dallas thought meeting X was a stroke of luck.

“Thank you, but do you mind?”

“Time? There is still room. It only takes an hour or two to get to Narville. “Oh, you can’t run because you have too much luggage.”

Yes.

I couldn’t give up the precious rare grade items.

X took care of the bison horns and bison meat. Thanks to this, I was moving almost like I was crawling. To be honest, the inventory was so heavy that I wanted to lie down right away.

“Then I guess I’ll have to try it out for the first time in a while.”

Dallas smiled and took out something.

X was instantly recognizable.

“That’s a return order, right?”

“Yes, I carry one for emergencies.”

“Are you sure you don’t mind?”

“I received something, but this is nothing!”

X knows the value of return orders.

The fact that one piece of paper costs a whopping 3 gold!

X swallowed deeply.

‘Ugh, they paid 3 gold for the convenience of walking… It’s not my money anyway. ‘Let’s just be quiet here and do our best.’

X was a man whose miserly nature showed itself in strange places. Anyway, X and Dallas arrived in Narville using the return spell.

Rubin’s General Store.

In front of the door, Dallas said, handing over the items.

“Then I’ll see you next time. “Please whisper when you need it!”

“All right. “I owe you a lot today, Dallas.”

“Hehe what?”

Dallas walked back out of town to join the party. X barely opened the door to the general store with shaky legs.

The general store was overflowing with users as usual.

X stood in the last row.

“Okay, once we sell everything, I’ll have to eat something expensive for a meal.”

X waited his turn.

There were no users negotiating with Rubin, so it didn’t take long.

“It’s been a while, Mr. Rubin.”

“Oh my, what’s going on! Are you here today to sell that good deer skin? As I said last time, I will pay you a generous price.”

Rubin looked at X, was pleased, and spoke.

Instead of answering, X showed Rubin a bison horn.

Chinese zodiac sign! Rubin’s pupils dilated.

“Oh no, this is it?”

“Just 90.”

“Are you sure you have 90 buffalo horns?”

“Take them for 3 gold each.”

X again set the highest price at the auction house.

Rubin said with a serious look on his face.

“…Do you have any time? If it’s okay, let’s go inside and talk. “I have something important to say to Mr. X.”

What is there to talk about?

X looked puzzled but nodded.

“Come this way.”

Rubin bent down to his waist to serve X. As X followed Rubin into the general store, a commotion broke out among the users.

“Why is that sassy Rubin bending down?”

“Is the reputation very high? what? “Isn’t the equipment poor?”

“…He’s playing a different game by himself. i envy you.”

They may or may not be aware of the envy of users.

X sat on the sofa and took a sip of the tea provided by Rubin.

[Heavenly taste has discovered the hidden taste of ‘Premium Black Tea’!]

[The aroma of black tea is absorbed into your body!]

[Maximum mana increases by 50 points!]

[Intelligence increases by 2 points!]

“The taste of black tea! This is very nice. What do you want to say more than that?”

Rubin let out a deep sigh in response to X’s question.

“Whew. It’s a complicated story, but… can you promise me one thing? “Please keep everything we share confidential from now on.”

It’s a secret.

You may be able to receive valuable information or quests.

X answered.

“of course.”

“thank you. “Then let’s start from the main point.”

Rubin swallowed and spoke as if his throat was burning.

“We were in a situation where the general store might close.”

“yes? “Is business doing that well?”

“That is true, but the high-ranking people in the country do not like me. “They always make unreasonable demands and threaten me, saying that if I can’t keep them, I’m not qualified to run a general store.”

X was able to quickly understand the situation.

‘The upper part of the head is rotten here too.’

It’s not much different from reality!

It was an overly realistic Fate World.

Rubin continued.

“But last time, I survived thanks to Mr. “It wasn’t the item that high-ranking people wanted, but thanks to the deer skin, we were able to slightly extend the deadline for our appointment.”

“So what do you need from high-ranking people?”

“That… is the fur of a firefox.”

Fire fox fur!

It was a unique grade item. Although the number of fire foxes is already small, fur was a material item with a very low drop rate.

X seemed to know why Rubin treated him so well.

“The bottom line is, all I have to do is get that fire fox fur, right?”

“That’s right. “It may be a shameless and impossible request, but if you ask for it, I promise to treat you in every way possible!”

Tiroling!

A quest came to mind.

《Save Rubin’s General Store!》

Rubin must procure fire fox fur against the pressure of the nobles. Rubin saw hope in you, who possessed extraordinary abilities. If you do his favor, you will be able to build a perfect trusting relationship with him.

Condition: Firefox Fur 0/1

Difficulty: D

Reward: Will you accept Rubin’s General Store VIP

quest?

Depending on your answer, intimacy may decrease.

“Okay, let’s give it a try.”

X was confident.

Because I had the hand of Midas, the heavenly capturer.

Rubin was very pleased and gave a specific deadline.

“Thanks to the bison horns you brought, I think we can extend the deadline until next week. “Until then, I ask for your help even though it may be difficult.”

X disposed of the bison horns to Rubin and left the general store. By selling 90 bison horns for 3 gold each, I got close to 270 gold through this transaction alone.

“Fire fox…”

X headed to the blacksmith shop.

It was to make bows and repair equipment.

“Oh my gosh, you’re bringing bison horns. Okay, I’ll make you an awesome bow! Come back in the evening. “It will be complete by then.”

While X waited for Morgan, he bought some cheap street food. I tried to eat something expensive, but I wasn’t at the level of luxury yet.

Street food was enough.

[Your heavenly sense of taste has discovered the hidden flavor of ‘chicken skewers’!]

[The sweetness of the chicken skewers is absorbed into your body!]

[Strength increases by 1 point!]

“Tsk tsk tsk, how many do I have to catch to get it? ..”

Unique item!

So far, the monsters caught by X had a 0% chance of dropping unique items. Therefore, I was curious whether the unique level would be farmed like rare.

[Heavenly taste has discovered the hidden taste of ‘whole potatoes’!]

[The deliciousness of whole potatoes is absorbed into the body!]

[Maximum stamina increases by 10 points!]

[Strength increases by 1 point!]

“Tsk tsk, it’s just a level. “I have to think about raising it and then catch it.”

The level of the fire fox was slightly higher than that of the bison.

Although its strength is less than that of a bison, it is often evaluated as a more difficult opponent than a bison due to its faster body. Thanks to this, Firefox was avoided among novice users.

“Thank goodness. I don’t have to worry about competition.”

X continued to eat street food after that.

I spent as much as 1 gold, but considering the increased stats, I still have money left over!

Soon, X shook his palms and muttered.

“Now that I’m full, shall I go catch some foxes?”

Munchkin that I eat all by myself
