Stuck in The Tower - Chapter 640

Episode 640 The world’s strongest chef is out!

After dealing with the polyps that attacked, the boning was completely completed.

The skin was set aside and the meat was prepared by section.

“Hehe. The color is nice. “Some polyps have a particularly red color. Isn’t this a high-quality part?”

Before I knew it, high-quality ingredients had piled up.

My cooking skills have also reached S level. It was by no means a low grade.

[Cooking (SSS) Lv.7]

‘Did this guy just do this?’

In a way, it is not wrong.

Unlike me, who only had a partnership with Helldying Kitchen, he officially worked there.

There is a small medal hanging on the chest as if he were a chef.

What does it say?

“Head chef?”

“I looked into this. This is embarrassing. “As I was accumulating floor space here, I was given the position of chef.”

He scratches his head as if embarrassed.

I wondered what anyone else would have done, but if it was Park Jae-kyung, it could have happened.

Because it helped me acquire cooking skills.

At the same time, he was a senior among seniors who entered the tower with the early hunters.

He’s crazy about cooking, so instead of climbing halfway, he cooked and stayed on the lower floors…

‘I think the first time we met was on the 53rd floor.’

When I think about it, I think I followed Jaekyung Park’s method of using overlapping skills.

Aside from everything else….

‘I had a relationship with the rookie group’s Smile Cap.’

Even though I went up to the 94th floor, I couldn’t find Smile Cap.

Now that I think about it, besides Smile Cap, there is one more rookie group that I have never met.

Was your nickname Choco Choco?

I also remembered what the awl fairy who moved with me on the 93rd floor told me.

Currently, the top hunter groups in the 90s are the rookie group and fairy club.

They said there was another force, but it wasn’t that big.

Even if you look at it objectively, it’s worth it to give strength to your shoulders.

‘I was wary of the rookie group. They say there are more people who have climbed up there.’

Some kind of rival or friendly enemy.

I think it’s that kind of position.

Anyway, to put it another way, at least the rookie group’s Smile Cap and Choco Choco are on the 94th floor or higher.

Park Jae-kyung is related to them.

“It’s not the best way to get polyp meat. “It’s time to get it out of the way.”

The atmosphere was still the same, but the momentum was incomparable to the past.

Because of what I did, I even had a scar across my nose.

If it were a recovery potion, most of the scars would have disappeared, but if that much remained, it would have been a serious wound.

Or maybe they just left it somewhere else for style.

Look.

“More than anything, my brother is the same as he was back then.”

“I guess you had a hard time on that side?”

“ha ha ha! Is it noticeable? I guess I’ve become a little stronger. “When I came here to collect ingredients, I begged for help, but now I’m generous.”

I think it is the latter that is smiling strangely and scratching its nose.

I didn’t understand, but he said he liked it, so that’s it.

That’s it.

“You said you were already here?”

“Oh, right. Haven’t you tried it before? “A steak made from drake meat.”

“You also supplied food ingredients.”

I nodded slightly.

Helldying Kitchen collects its own ingredients.

I also formed a partnership and provided food ingredients on a regular basis.

Naturally, he would have visited the upper levels of Helldying Kitchen to obtain high-quality ingredients, but Jae-kyung Park also did that activity.

In other words….

‘It’s like seeing the floor you’re going to climb in advance.’

It was an incredible privilege.

Just as I explore the same floor by spending coins when necessary, he has completed his understanding through Helldying Kitchen.

When I first joined there, I had doubts about whether it was a good choice, but now I see it was the right choice.

“Then maybe even above this?”

“Well, I went there a few times. They didn’t send me there because it was such a dangerous place. “Afterwards, I was busy working in the kitchen.”

Meaning I went once.

I quietly looked at him.

“Nothing much. It’s neutral territory anyway. “I stopped by because there were vegetables that only grow there.”

“It’s neutral ground.”

All of the 90th floors I have experienced so far have had owners.

No, to be exact, there was no owner on the 93rd floor, but a trial with rules was prepared.

But the neutral zone this guy is talking about…

“It’s kind of like a checkpoint.”

“From what I’ve heard, it sounds similar to a safe zone, but wasn’t that one located on the 10th floor?”

“Hey. I went through it even in the beginning. “There isn’t even a sixth floor.”

“aha.”

I kind of forgot about it because it was really early in the story.

There was a safe zone on the 6th floor as well.

There was already a precedent, and the theme of the 90th floor was chaos in the first place.

This means that it is not strange no matter which way it goes.

I got unexpected information.

If a neutral zone officially exists, it would probably be the starting point for those climbing the 90th floor to gather in one place.

That’s it.

“What are you doing?”

“Is this a horse seal? “It wasn’t like that before, but recently the parasitic species kept squirming, so I was processing it.”

I watched what he did closely and then clapped my hands.

“It’s a way to stop parasitic species!”

“yes. “Managing food ingredients is the most basic of basics.”

“Can I use that method too? The damn parasitic species eats up all the ingredients they can gather. “On the entire 94th floor.”

Of course, I planned to use it secretly even if it didn’t work out, but I was worried for no reason.

“Have you seen these rotten things! Write it. “There’s no reason not to use it!”

On the other hand, he’s a solid guy.

Naturally, I sat next to Jaekyung Park and looked at the ingredients and combinations she used.

“Pamasu essence cinnamon in the hands of a tortoise? “Well, I mix some alcohol too.”

It was organized in detail.

The ingredients are not that expensive, and you often see them when you look around.

That mass production is possible.

As expected, the one who received formal training at Helldying Kitchen is different.

With this, I think we can lessen our worries about parasites.

At the same time, it seemed like it could be used as a political card.

‘This guy will be talking anyway, so there’s no need for that.’

If it was going to spread one way or another, it would have been better to say it first and at least show some condescension.

Once I find out the location of the ancient monster, I have to tell Gallias and get something from him.

I’m going to the north, so it’s fine to just use it.

“What will the East do? Should I tell you the processing method there as well?”

“Oh, those guys are okay.”

“Are they okay?”

“They’re so fucking bastards.”

The reaction is intense. What happened?

Come to think of it, I’ve never seen this guy since he was on the 94th floor.

The West was ruined, I was in the North, and even after coming to the South, I was in this frontier…

“You came from the East.”

“That’s right. “I came down to avoid them.”

Jae-kyung Park seems to be irritated for no reason, but he sniffs and then spits.

“The eastern portion was eaten by worshipers. For some reason, he said he didn’t like the color of his eyes ever since he arrived. “I wanted to beat up Dongtae because he was so mean to me.”

“You had a cult.”

The expression turns cold.

I thought we would meet at some point, but I never thought the east was the domain of worshipers.

If the fortresses scattered everywhere had decided to attack, it would not have been easy even with average skills.

Now I can deal with Gold level players without difficulty, but that’s not true for everyone.

Garti, who is currently at platinum level, was not an ordinary guy, and not all gold level players are at the same level.

‘I don’t know if there will be a strong person on the same level as Adella or Gallias.’

This means that the lord of Sinemon Fortress in the east is also a worshiper.

Just thinking about the Adela and Gallias I met, it was clear that they were not weak.

The 93rd floor was easy because everyone was nerfed by the system, but not here.

In fact, in terms of combat power alone, it had to be considered higher than those on the 93rd floor.

“I was in the middle too, but if Noble Knight hadn’t told me, it wouldn’t have been easy to get out.”

“Is the Royal Knight here?”

“It’s Noble, not Royal. Well, it’s similar, so let’s say so.”

I raised my head when I heard that guys I hadn’t expected had arrived.

Noble Knight.

A group that moves to save the world without any interest in anything else.

They say they are saviors and all, but in reality, the power of their leader Ophelia is their savior.

At the same time, he is also the one who holds the legacy of a world that escaped destruction.

It is also assumed that his divine power was maxed out before he even reached the upper levels.

Another unique feature.

‘They are also the ones who receive the most support from NPCs.’

It wasn’t apparent on the outside.

I wasn’t particularly interested either, and no climber was willing to actively seek help from NPCs when climbing.

Due to the nature of climbers continuing to climb upward, it was difficult to connect even if there was a relationship, except in special cases.

‘Cases like Lilka are a special case.’

I have many unique cases, so there are people I am connected to, such as Lilka and Alios Kilderes.

If you think about it, the platinum grade Garti that we decided to cooperate with this time is also an NPC.

This isn’t important.

‘Lee Jun-seok said. It seems like the Noble Knight has a connection with the NPC in the tower.’

Although I am also connected to NPC forces such as the Flower and Bird Bureau and Framberg Helldying Kitchen, their case was a bit different.

If the worshipers are a group that prevents climbers from climbing the tower, on the contrary, it feels like those who want to climb up come together to help them.

According to various reports from the Pejjing Association scattered throughout the tower, it was said that floors were often cleared almost as if skipped.

Lee Jun-seok, who praises Petit Gondue, even expressed the opinion that he might have climbed faster than me if he had climbed alone with Ophelia instead of Noble Knight.

There is a guy here who is curious about many things.

“Where did Ophelia go?”

“Well, I said I was going up. “Maybe you didn’t go to the center?”

“The center is the Dragon Mountains.”

“I thought you said you had business to do there. “I think so.”

I tapped my fingers and was lost in thought.

No matter the method, what Noble Knight and I are trying to do is similar.

That is why we still maintain a positive relationship with the Peujing Union.

There’s no way Ophelia just went to the center, so it’s definitely related to the strategy.

I took a quick look at Jae-kyung Park.

There is so much information and people gained in unexpected situations.

Above all, I had to find the gate where the ancient monster was.

“right. There was a special gate on the side of the road coming from the east. I couldn’t go because I was being chased, but I’m interested so let’s go. First Monster also has a special taste.”

“What a treasure goblin!”

Come on. I hugged him.

Not only does it give you all kinds of valuable information and ingredients, but it also knows the location of the gate you were looking for.

He’s a good guy. I heard people were fine from the beginning.

I looked at him with bright eyes.

“Oh no. “It looks like you’re swearing at something.”

The guy had a shocked expression, but it was clearly an illusion.

I guess it’s just because I’m embarrassed.

Trying to hide your good deeds without revealing them.

It is clear that he is a good person who enjoys helping others.

okay. I’ve received help like this, and I’ll allow you to do as many things as you like.

“Do you want to cook?”

“yes?”

“there is. A place where you can cook to your heart’s content and feed people.”

“Is there such a place? ha ha ha! When I came here, the chefs were harsh. They say that while gardening, the materials must be notarized or something like that. “They say you shouldn’t do business carelessly.”

I nodded slightly.

don’t worry. If you go, you will have to cook to feed about 1,000 people a day.

At least that’s how you should clean it.

“I’ll recommend a good place. “It’s called the Western Defense Line.”

A defense line made from ruined Westerners.

There was nothing to eat because of the parasitic species, but if you send him, Adela will like it, Gallias will take a breather, and Jaekyung Park himself will be satisfied.

A win-win strategy that can satisfy everyone.

“let’s go! Everyone, get out of the way! It’s an event for the world’s greatest chef, Park Jae-kyung!”

I shouted as I changed direction of the carriage.
