Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 222

Chapter 222 Hegrik’s Disciple

Unexpected Situation.

To be honest, I didn’t have high expectations for the Helldying Kitchen Party.

I just thought it was a place where people who like to eat would gather.

I never thought I would meet a high-level hunter here.

The fuzziness was amazing, but it was a huge income to see that there were climbers who could go head-to-head with NPCs.

And that’s because Park Jae-kyung and I know each other.

“I thought he was dead because there was no contact.”

“A bit busy. Because I was taught by my master. You know I’m not good at community.”

“i know. It was too much though. I never thought I would keep my mouth shut for 10 years.”

“Ha ha ha ha ha! I know. Time flies, right?”

Park Jae-kyung smiled happily.

The NPCs blinked their eyes, not knowing what the situation was, and Fluffy also looked surprised.

I understand.

As Park Jae-kyung has been in the tower for a long time, it seemed like there would be people he met while climbing.

Most would have gone out. There will be a few people who overcame all kinds of trials and reached the upper class.

that means soon.

‘That guy has been climbing the tower for nearly 10 years.’

84 floors in 10 years.

It’s a long time.

“That’s right, this older brother is Master’s second disciple. I want you to introduce me to one of Oshu’s younger siblings.”

Park Jae-kyung beckons me to come.

There was a feeling of embarrassment as the attention was focused on me for a moment, but it was too big an opportunity to pass quietly.

The upper layer would be of great help if they could obtain unknown spatial information.

The NPCs gathered here are said to be hostile to climbers, but wouldn’t it be possible to approach the same climber, Smile Cap?

He held out his hand with some anticipation.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Evileye.”

“Hoho you?”

hmm?

Did something change in tone?

There is a gloomy aura in his eyes.

twisted lip corners.

I brought out the hand I had slipped out.

fingertips tickle

I feel like I need to grab something that can be used as a weapon right now.

“Is it you? The thing that annihilated the Rookies.”

“Rookie? No way…”

“Nice to meet you. I am also from Rookie. I came in around the time Kowloon was being made.”

Are you one of the rookie-born groups that Lee Jun-seok talked about?

see for the first time The rookie of the Kowloon Guild.

What kind of place is Kowloon?

1st place in Korea’s large guild rankings.

A place that has half of the S-class hunters in Korea.

It was a guild that originated from a large corporation and has a deep relationship with the government.

And it’s also the only place that doesn’t manage a safe zone.

Could it be that they were sending a small number of elites to the upper floors while leaving control of the tower to another guild?

My eyes go to my neck without realizing it.

Does that person also have a neck restriction?

“Kuk!”

The guy burst out laughing, perhaps noticing my gaze, and lowered his collar.

there’s nothing.

The guy who opens and closes his hands.

Perong. playfully open mouth

“There is no such thing. I’ll just untie the ones that were hung by people who were lower than me.”

That’s right.

Even when talking with Lee Jun-seok, I assumed that it would be after the restrictions were lifted.

However, checking it yourself is a different story.

“Did you kill my cute juniors? Maybe I like you?”

He spins around me.

living flowing.

I can usually get sleepy here.

“Somehow, with the guys who got hit because they did something to get hit.”

There is a corner that I believe in too.

It doesn’t matter if we fight here.

Because you can see how high-level hunters are.

And even if I die, I have infinite coins, so I can go up and take revenge.

As long as this guy is in the tower by then.

even if you leave this

‘Park Jae-kyung is also watching, and it’s too much of a burden to completely ruin the party, even if you’re just a guy out there.’

Given a few circumstances, there was a good chance he would back down.

how do you get out

I waited patiently for a response.

However, be prepared to counterattack immediately if necessary.

A simulation of the battle was already running in my head.

The odds of winning weren’t that high, but I think I could do something about feeding them taffy.

“Kuh! Hehehehe!”

The guy burst into laughter.

The guy who was shaking his body reached out his hand to me.

“Ah, there are more interesting guys. Call it Smile Cap.”

“Don’t let that happen.”

Park Jae-kyung looks at us shaking hands with proud eyes.

“I wondered what to do with this guy, but wouldn’t it be nice if we got along well?”

“If possible.”

“I like Jaekyung hyung. Kut!”

do you like it

Can this laughing guy really help?

I feel like I’m hooked up with some weird guy.

I don’t know. Let’s watch it first.

I tried to take advantage of the atmosphere and ask a few questions.

“How dare you ignore me? wormy things!”

The pirate roared as he threw off his hat that had been soaked in champagne.

I forgot about it for a while because it was out of my interest.

Somehow, I think I got caught up in a fight and got cursed at.

Should I say I’m lucky

“I’m sorry, Fugrid. Wipe your clothes first.”

“Cheky Franken.”

Helldying Kitchen’s branch manager, Cheky Franken, interceded.

A pirate who steps back.

Ohh. Is it that powerful?

Or is the position of Helldying Kitchen’s branch manager higher than expected?

Cheki bows his head.

“He invited me by my authority.”

“A climber? A guy who isn’t even a VIP? It would be an abuse of power even if it was the branch manager?”

“In normal circumstances, yes.”

Suddenly he leans towards the pirate.

“That is Master Hegrik’s disciple. You deserve to be here.”

“Heh… what? Uh… Hegrick!”

The pirate widens his eyes.

Same with other NPCs.

“Hegrick. I thought you were retired.”

“It was like that. If so, I don’t understand.”

“I never thought he would take a climber as his apprentice.”

“Are you sure? Doubtful.”

“Anyway, a climber… knows when to go outside.”

“Maybe there was a mistake?”

buzzing people.

It seems that Hegrick’s name value is higher than expected.

At least if everyone in this room knew.

Although Park Jae-kyung, my disciple, and I knew nothing.

Eyes full of strange tension and suspicion and curiosity scan us.

At that time, the calm atmosphere was gone and only a cluttered air current drifted.

-Pampa babam!

“The representative is entering!”

An employee waiting at the end of the banquet hall announced the position of the representative.

Those who correct their posture at once.

An old man enters the stage.

Although wrinkled, the waist was straight, and the suit worn neatly had a badge engraved with the Helldying Kitchen pattern.

“Nice to meet you all. Is everyone enjoying the party?”

A representative who greets nicely.

[Bruhem Kite- NPC]

– Representative of Helldying Kitchen!

-Everyone in Helldying follows him.

– Distribution is big, but be careful.

-Because resentment repays with greater resentment and grace with greater grace.

Just looking at the information coming in through the Authority, I can tell that he’s a great person.

He is not just a representative in name, but actually the leader of a group called Helldying Kitchen.

I still remember.

The cautionary phrase written there in Helldying Kitchen.

-Orders cannot be canceled due to a simple change of heart.

(Please note that the ingredient supply team may come to you if business disruption or slander is discovered due to this

.) It

is a catering buffet for horses, but it is a place where you can act as an armed group if you have a just cause.

It looks normal on the outside, but it will never be an opponent to be taken lightly.

Even those who were invited right away greeted him politely.

Bruhem scans the crowd.

“Looking at the reaction, I don’t think so. I even overheard the commotion unintentionally.”

The pirate’s face blushed at the word commotion.

The other NPCs are also coughing and looking away.

“It’s not a lie that you’re Hegrick’s apprentice, are you two gentlemen?”

Bruhem, CEO of Helldying Kitchen, comes out and looks at Park Jae-kyung.

A mild but frustrating feeling.

Smilecap also didn’t step out at this moment and held his breath.

Except me and Jaekyung Park.

At the same time, I opened my inventory and took out the medallion.

A Disciple Proof Medal received from Hegrik.

I was wondering why you were giving this, but did you expect something like this?

“Let’s check.”

“Can this be enough?”

He smiles brightly, narrowing his eyes.

“It is unmistakably authentic! It worked out just in time.”

He walked out in front of the podium.

staff to follow.

The faces of the NPCs were filled with anticipation.

“It’s time for the gift exchange event to begin! If it’s not an excuse, can we see Hegrick’s disciples’ skills? I think it will be a great gift for me.”

“I was going to do that anyway!”

Park Jae-kyung proudly exclaims.

I don’t know anything else, but I’m full of confidence.

“I am already looking forward to it. You can’t enjoy this good thing alone. Can you do it for those who are invited here?”

“Just leave it to me. Because it’s dishonest to give it to someone and not give it to anyone.”

“It’s a good mindset. Please prepare.”

mate.

As Bruhem clapped his hands, the waiting staff moved quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the entire platform turned into a kitchen, and those who approached me and Park Jae-kyung put on cooking clothes.

Wait…..

“Me too?”

“Of course not. Aren’t VIPs also disciples of Hegrik?”

“That’s right. ha ha ha.”

I’ve prepared a separate gift for you!

An unfair heart has risen, but now it is an ambiguous situation to fall into.

If this happens, change the strategy.

“Hey, what have you thought of making?”

“Ugh. I’m thinking of looking at the ingredients and deciding. You see, there are many options. Ugh, I’m going to have a choice disability.”

A cooking area in the front.

Large appliances such as ovens and stoves were placed on the left, and various fresh ingredients and seasonings were neatly prepared on the right.

A story about being able to do anything.

He seemed worried, but I could clearly see what I had to do.

Expectations of NPCs Things I have.

When you put everything together, one thing comes to mind.

“I wonder if it’s something that immediately comes to mind or something like this.”

I whispered the things I thought to Jaekyung Park.

Words that are not specific but close to ideas.

This guy doesn’t know much about cooking.

“Umm… It’s definitely a good idea, but it’s also consistent with Master’s teachings. But wouldn’t that have to be there for that to happen?”

“Don’t worry, go ahead and trust me.”

“Eight! Let’s do something! Brother help me. I’ll do anything complicated. ah! At this point, buy a clean skill from the shop window!”

“okay.”

I immediately bought a clean skill from the shop window and learned it.

[Clean (F) Lv.1]

An F-class skill I haven’t seen in a long time.

It wasn’t very cute, but the effect was certain.

“Deokchun, you come too.”

“That’s right.”

Deokchun, who was rubbing his bulging stomach, also joined.

“Let’s light the fire! As hot as possible!”

“Loser!”

-Roaring!

Cooking began as I, an explosive expert, poured out the fire.

* * *

70 servings.

It was the result of a strong will to feed not only the invited guests but also the staff present here.

It’s the first time I’ve experienced cooking this much at once.

I’m physically fine, but I’m tired mentally.

Park Jae-kyung, who maintains this for an hour without losing concentration, looks amazing.

No, making 70 servings in an hour is even more amazing.

An achievement that is only possible because he is a superman.

The point at which Deokchun, riding on his shoulder, was wiping away the sweat dripping down his cheek.

“Complete with this.”

Park Jae-kyung made the last plate.

Those already made were moved to the table by Helldying Kitchen staff.

The staff share is prepared in the annex next to the party.

It’s because the employees are working.

“Oh oh. What is it?”

“I caught the greasy stuff with apple pops from the fins of Mestoca larvae and Creadon, and seasoned it with deep-sea salt. The kraken leg skin was also grilled to enhance the texture. In addition…”

“Meat and fish are mixed… If you do it wrong, the balance will be off.”

“So I made a special sauce. I can’t tell you about this because it’s a trade secret, but I’ll tell you at least that you mixed blood.”

“I can roughly guess.”

Park Jae-kyung, who served Bruhem himself, explains the cooking.

Um really…..

I have no idea.

Everyone looked surprised and just nodded their heads pretending to know.

All I know is that the flesh of the Mestoca larvae I gave you and the legs of the Kraken were used.

If it’s long, the long explanation is over.

“But wouldn’t that be enough? There is still something to decorate the end, so you can look forward to it.”

Park Jae-kyung glances at me.

Is it finally my turn to step out?

One thing I suggested to Jaekyung Park.

It was ‘let’s make food that can be enjoyed with alcohol’.

Take care of Hegrick’s cooking philosophy and appeal that there are ingredients prepared separately besides those provided here.

This was the best way for those who had already filled their stomachs at the party to enjoy it without burden.

Of course it’s not easy.

The food itself is great, but basically the side dishes.

He needed a drink to match.

At least with something better quality than the one at the party.

What we drank was also a good product mixed with the basic B grade and the middle A grade.

In other words, you have to provide enough alcohol for 70 people to drink at least grade A.

‘It’s dangerous, but it’s possible if you turn one cup at a time.’

shit. He raised his eyebrows and came forward.

Gaze that gathers on me.

I took it out of my inventory.

49th floor quest reward.

A greater item than the fairy’s honey wine given to Hegrik.

[Tears of the Blue Dragon (AAA)]

– Silk made from tears shed by spiritual beings of the East!

– There is a record that the founder of the Pregrent family made a deal with a different race through this drink.

-Enjoyable by all, including elves, druids, and fairies.

-It has magic power.

– Your health will improve.

– Negative emotions disappear.

– Becoming friendly to everyone.

The sake that ate the AAA grade for sake.

“oh my god! Does that mean it really existed?”

“Huh… I’ve only heard of it.”

“I’m sure it’s genuine. How can I do that precious thing!”

The sound of breathing in the wind was heard from here and there.
