Solo Eating to Overpowered - Chapter 90

Episode 90:

The sky slowly brightens.

Eventually dawn broke.

“Off!”

X stretched out. Perhaps it was because I had been squatting all night cooking, but my knees and shoulders were all numb. X looked at Yongyong who was asleep next to him.

“Yongyong, it seems like you and I are far from gourmets.”

X has a heavenly sense of taste that makes everything taste delicious!

Because of this, he couldn’t find anything lacking in the dish he made. Out of frustration, he summoned Yongyong, but Yongyong wasn’t a picky eater either…

X smiled and relaxed his shoulders.

“I guess I’ll have to work hard today for my research.”

There were over 300 bluebirds collected yesterday. Although they are small in size, two mouths can kill 300 animals in one night. Evidence of that gluttony will remain in the status window.

“How much did it rise?”

Okay. Before going on a hunt, X checked his abilities.

Bonus Points: 0

“Great.”

Thanks to beating the blue bird without stopping, the level rose by 9 levels. That alone is shocking, but the basic stats increased by 200 points.

Once the confirmation was complete, X immediately pulled the bowstring.

Chirp- Jjaeak chirp-!

In the once peaceful blue bird cage, sad cries continued. Except for natural magic, the corpse blue birds were completely neutralized, so the hunting speed was truly overwhelming.

X, who was engrossed in hunting, looked at Yongyong.

‘Well, I summoned him because I thought he might be bored, but…’

Yongyong was still fast asleep. It wouldn’t matter if they were targeting X himself, but since Yongyong also had forces following him, he had no choice but to be as careful as possible.

“See you later.”

X eventually unsummoned Yongyong. Even after that, X didn’t stop pulling the bowstring. Skills increased at such a rapid rate that one wonders if the beautiful natural scenery was also having an impact.

X exclaimed as he wiped off the sweat.

“It’s already 60 percent.”

As expected, it was worth changing the bow. As soon as he could catch his breath, X’s eyes became calm. Hit, hit, hit again! X defeated the blue birds with mechanical movements.

‘It seems a little faster than yesterday.’

X rested only after the sun had completely set and darkness had fallen over the forest. Perhaps because of the increased ability level compared to yesterday, the number of bluebird fish obtained was close to 400.

One by one, X took out the utensils and muttered.

‘Today, shall we go in the direction of preserving the original taste?’

If you changed the spices and other ingredients yesterday, now it was time to change the cooking method. Even if you make the same grilled skewers, the taste varies depending on the wood used to make the fire, so this was also worth researching.

Cut it, smoke it, boil it, stir-fry it.

X, who was moving violently, sighed.

“Try it before it gets cold.”

X inhaling the food prepared on the table!

Tiroling!

Alerts kept ringing, but now I had to focus on getting a taste and developing. X, who had closed his eyes and savored it slowly, opened his mouth.

“…It’s delicious as expected.”

How can you find complements when it just tastes delicious? The same goes for heavenly cuisine. Regardless of skill level, no matter how much you made, a 2-star dish was the limit.

But X did not stop here.

“Tsk tsk tsk, there will be a time when I feel bad.”

All you have to do is do your best at what you can do now.

X didn’t think too hastily. Rather, I was enjoying cooking and eating food. In fact, you have no choice but to enjoy it, right? You can raise your stats just by eating, which is difficult for others to do even if they go through a lot of hard work.

X, who was in the middle of mumbling, suddenly fell into thought.

‘…did it move?’

It’s natural for thoughts to rush into chaos.

Since X has been connected to Fate ever since the major accident, I still don’t know how the situation is going. But I could guess.

“Tsk tsk, of course he would return to that personality.”

Songwol, the man who ranks first and is called the King of Power!

The guild is closed and knows only itself and is in ruins.

What does that mean? Guild members are very close to each other, and the attachment the leader has to the guild is great. From the moment X set his sights on the deadly dungeon, he prepared himself for a battle with Songwol.

No, I was hoping.

‘I want to see the ranker’s skills.’

Ranker: How much ability are they hiding?

It was natural for the rankers to hide the skills they saw. Because it was like that with X. Even if the job or level must be revealed, the specific abilities or characteristics will remain top secret.

‘I don’t think I’m behind in terms of stats, but…’

By simple calculation, this is a number that can only be obtained if you are over level 1000.

X’s current stats did not allow comparison with other users. Even if it is Songwol, which is level 460. However, I could think of one possibility.

‘If only you could become strong in other ways like me.’

There was a possibility.

There are tens of thousands of classes that exist in Fate. Among them, there could have been a hidden class with deceitfulness that was no less than that of a heavenly gourmet. X, who was thinking, smiled.

“Whether I win or lose, I think it’ll be a good experience, right?”

X doesn’t always win. However, X is not the type to give in to defeat.

X not only learns from defeat but also finds things to fix in victory. X wanted to gain experience regardless of whether he won or lost.

“Well, for something like that, I touched too much ground.”

I touched Songwol to gain experience!

It was a statement that would make Fate users faint when they heard it. But X was sincere.

chin! X walked towards the firewood he had prepared in advance.

“The scent is unique.”

It was a tree that only grew in this area and had a characteristic pungent aroma. Shock! X struck the firewood with a simple sword strike. Patter! X muttered while picking up fallen firewood.

“…First of all, it doesn’t seem like it’s going to be a disaster.”

Someone was coming this way.

X’s nerves are already sensitive. In addition, thanks to the heavenly cuisine, his ability to communicate with nature increased, and he noticed someone approaching from a distant forest.

X didn’t take any action.

‘I don’t have any life left in me. Maybe I just need to see something.’

Bluebird’s Cage is a very unpopular hunting ground, but isn’t that something that alienated users can find it? X clicked his tongue and lit the firewood.

“I know that sadness well. “I need to at least grill you a skewer.”

Of course, nothing is free in the tough world of Fate!

Sizzling. As the skewers became deliciously cooked, their popularity also became closer. Shake shake. As the sound of rustling leaves grew louder, X cleared his throat.

‘How much is appropriate? 1 gold? It seems too cheap….’

Okay, let’s take 2 for 3 gold.

The moment when X finished setting the price and opened his mouth.

A completely unexpected voice was heard.

“…I thought it would happen as expected. “I’m not wrong!”

“?”

This is a voice I have heard before without knowing it. It’s not a familiar voice, but it’s a voice I vaguely remember hearing once or twice. X tilted his head and looked at the man’s exposed appearance.

‘Where have I seen you before…’

A Western-looking face with blond hair.

The man suddenly extended his hand to X, who was trying to remember.

“I’m sorry for coming to you suddenly. But even when I send a message, he doesn’t even check, so there must be another way… Anyway, it’s nice to meet you. “Asus is the leader of Explorer.”

Yes, this voice is Asus.

But what does this guy think?

Asus spoke for a moment before X said anything.

“I will start with the main point. “X Explorer offers you a strategic alliance!”

*

Sudden meeting!

“I can’t wait to see Ssuk’s cooking in person…”

It’s killing me just to look at it.

The two were in the midst of a conversation in front of the bonfire. Asus held back his drool and looked at the skewers. But X couldn’t afford to hand over the skewers.

X said in a serious voice.

“To sum up what you said, Songwol has already arrived on the Arba Continent and issued an order to kill me. “It must have been an expression of confidence, but it’s not working out as expected?”

“Yes, as I said, an unspecified group called the Eat Alone Alliance has declared that it will support you. It was a declaration so absurd that no one would normally pay attention to it. But that post made it onto terrestrial news. “You know what this means, right?”

X nodded in response to Asus’ answer.

‘It means that the big picture was a good success.’

In fact, I never thought there would be an organization other than the Eating Alone Alliance. I just thought that the order led by the large guilds would be shaken little by little.

It seems that Hana X’s influence was greater than expected.

Asus said, folding his fingers.

“First, even though the extermination order and compensation were presented, Songwol is unable to find any information about you. “You may have been careful, but users have completely turned their backs on the collapse.”

X nodded.

No matter how careful you are, birds hear what you say during the day, and only mice hear what you say at night. It is nearly impossible to completely avoid the gaze of the nearly 100 million Fate users. Public opinion was clearly smiling on X.

“Not only that. Thanks to your major accident, major guilds have strengthened security for the dungeons they occupy. But… Even the strengthened security was breached in a spectacular manner.”

Although the dungeon has not been cleared, it is said that the guild members guarding the dungeon have died. And that too sporadically across the continent. The nonsense written by the Eat Alone Alliance was being put into practice.

X said calmly.

“I guess that’s how much has accumulated.”

“of course. I also feel the same way, so I just…”

“So, what’s your business?”

At X’s question, Asus wiped away the drool and came to his senses.

“I told you. “A strategic alliance between X and Explorer.”

“So, I’m curious about your intention to form an alliance with me in the current situation. “Why would you form an alliance with me, who has become a public enemy among the major guilds?”

“Why, you pretended to be innocent on TV.”

“Are you asking with a pure heart?”

Eat. Asus responded with a laugh.

“It’s because we seem to have the same meaning. Explorer is being called a rookie that threatens the position of a large guild, but not to me. We have no intention of becoming a large guild at all. Rather, I just want to destroy the selfish order they have established.”

“okay?”

“…More than that, I’m drawn to being with you because it feels like an incredibly dangerous adventure. No, actually, that is the biggest reason. Still, don’t think it’s just the leader’s dogma. “There are only people like me in our guild.”

X looked at Asus. The words he spoke, which he was excited about when it came to adventure, seemed extremely sincere. The most dangerous adventure in Fate right now is getting entangled with yourself.

‘It’s a strategic alliance.’

It wasn’t bad for X, who turned all the large guilds into enemies thanks to the big picture.

No, I could definitely say it was good. However, there was something I needed to check. X opened his mouth.

“That must not be the only purpose. “How did you find me again?”

I could guess it.

Explorer had been targeting the dragon Yongyongi that he had previously met by chance.

From then on, he was persistently tracking Yongyong using a special skill. He also knows that he is related to Yongyong.

Asus’ eyes lit up. It was like the eyes of a child.

“…Chased Fate’s first dragon.”

“It’s nice to be honest.”

“I’m not good enough at acting to fool my partner. X, you also know something about dragons, right? So what the hell is that dragon? “Is this even the first A-difficulty quest?!”

Now that But you can’t expose the Joker in vain, right?

“I can tell you about dragons. Because we cannot omit the most important link that connected us in our strategic alliance. But… you must be firm in your resolve. I hate betrayal the most.”

X’s eyes narrowed.

“Are you sure you can handle it?”

Munchkin that I eat all by myself
