The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 110

Episode 110: Liberated City (1)

After clearing the dungeon [Erosion World Dasmur].

Confusion continued for a while.

-Kraak!

“Shit!”

Immediately after the dungeon collapsed.

Monsters that appeared as if they had been there from the beginning.

“Suddenly, I have to have my life threatened by monsters.”

“It was better to be locked up.”

Although there may be problems with food etc. when trapped in that dungeon.

Surprisingly, it was safe from monster attacks.

This is because fishmen cannot come out of the water, so all they have to do is hide in buildings.

“I never asked anyone to let me out.”

Those who do not know that if they continue as they are, they are destined to be buried a few years later.

It was understandable to be dissatisfied.

Of course, not everyone was dissatisfied.

“Finally… I can go back to my family.”

There were similarly many people who were happy to have succeeded in coming out.

Thousands of people were released into the world like that.

and.

Because most of them are awakened.

Kwasik!

“Whoa… I finally caught it!”

There were many cases where people complained about this or that.

People adapted to the outside environment relatively quickly.

“For that number of people to be released into the world… it must be more meaningful than you think.”

Minjae, who just recently escaped being hospitalized, said.

“There are issues like food, so we may end up clashing with them at some point.”

“Because that was back then.”

One important thing.

‘Humanity’s power has increased significantly.’

The number of monsters that appeared in the city was significant.

Originally, he would have had no choice but to hide in the city, like in the case of Inje-gun.

A city overflowing with awakened people.

Even if each group only protects its own territory, safe zones will be created here and there in the city.

After successfully conquering the dungeon, I thought about returning to Inje-gun.

‘How can we miss out on these talented people?’

We were already thirsty for manpower.

I’ll have to settle down in this city for a while and try to increase the number of troops.

* * *

That’s how it happened.

We took over an unclaimed building in the city.

‘At best, it’s only at the level of cleaning up the monster and putting on a sleeping bag.’

Meanwhile, monsters were settling inside as well.

It took quite some time to process.

First, we will use this as a temporary base and then take time to expand the base to a proper base.

“then. “I will return to work.”

“OK.”

The number of monsters has increased significantly.

Unit members decided to go out on regular patrols to ensure the safety of the surrounding area.

In the meantime, you will have to encourage the many awakened people around you to join.

I stayed in the building after finishing preparing meals for my unit members.

I took a short break and checked the status window.

Then a phrase appears before my eyes.

[There is a reward that has not been received!]

The phrase that appears before our eyes.

What was the reason we were trying to conquer the dungeon in the first place?

‘It’s farming.’

It’s time to check the reward.

[Erosion of the Other World – Check Dasmur’s strategy rewards.]

[Rewards are paid differently depending on contribution level.]

[Awakened Shin Youngjun’s contribution level – 1st place]

What is my contribution level?

Of course, it is 1st place.

Second place is probably Minjae, who implemented that lightning magic.

and.

[Rewards are given.]

[Acquire experience.]

[Acquire points.]

Up to this point, it was similar to when conquering the dungeon before.

A huge amount of energy entering the body.

And point.

‘Last time, group skills were given as follows.’

I thought we would be given some kind of group skill this time too.

It was a little different.

[You can obtain the Essence of the Fragmented World.]

[Checking occupation… Chef.]

[Reward given.]

[Dasmur Chef’s Essence]

What appeared this time was not a group skill.

essence.

‘I knew about it because I heard it from my unit members.’

I checked a little late.

There were unit members who received compensation first.

I already knew that the reward given this time was not a group skill.

‘by the way.’

What I got as a reward for conquering the last dungeon was a group skill.

[Aura of the Legion].

The characteristic called [Energy of Black Sand] that the monsters in the dungeon had at the time was probably given in a changed form.

The name of this reward is [Dasmur Cook’s Essence].

‘The rewards of a dungeon are related to the dungeon itself.’

This hypothesis can be considered confirmed.

According to the stories of the unit members, the rewards given were all different depending on the level of contribution to the occupation.

There are people who have acquired equipment and skills.

For wizards, water attribute magic or staff.

Warriors are said to have acquired weapons or armor related to the water attribute, or skills that make hard scales grow all over their bodies.

‘Wizards really liked it.’

Our unit’s equipment is handled by the workshop’s production workers, led by Mr. Park and Lee Sang-ah.

Even Mr. Park, who was an expert at making things like swords, was going through trial and error when it came to making the staff that magicians required.

The guys who got proper wizard equipment were so happy that they even gave the staff a name.

‘In general, it is said that the higher the contribution, the better the reward.’

This is the reward given to me for being number one in contribution.

[Dasmur Chef’s Essence] A

slightly bluish round ball.

When I touched it, it felt soft.

“…hmm.”

Something.

It’s a little different from what I expected.

‘A useful knife. characteristic. I thought they might give me some food ingredients or something.’

Why are there so many different types of food ingredients?

Such as Dragon Heart, which was once considered an essential element of fantasy novels.

If it’s martial arts, it’s Gongcheong Petroleum, Millennium Seolsam, etc.

I thought I might be given that kind of great guy.

‘It’s the essence of a chef.’

It was a little different from the compensation others received.

Minjae, who is currently ranked 2nd, has acquired a trait that greatly increases his magic power.

The others also had equipment and skills.

I didn’t really know how to use it.

That moment.

[Caution!]

[This is a high-quality ingredient.]

[The level of the chef is low compared to the ingredients.] [

If you try to cook with your current skills, there is a very high chance of failure.] [I hope

you will try after raising your level . Recommended.]

“Uh. what.”

Can I eat this?

The phrase itself was one I had seen before.

A phrase that popped up when I tried to make sashimi with the Pope’s flesh.

‘If you think about it. ‘I was lucky that the dish was a success.’

Several factors may have come into play.

My stats also went up due to the stacking of all kinds of buffs.

Coincidentally, my knife was only for sashimi.

but.

‘If I failed to cook, the ingredients would probably just disappear.’

At that time, there was no other way.

I tried something a little bolder and luckily I succeeded.

“There’s no guarantee that we’ll succeed this time too, right?”

What a reward for conquering the dungeon.

It is also a reward given only to those ranked first in contribution.

“…Let’s try it later.”

It may be difficult right now.

I have a rough idea of when it will be possible.

My current job is [Intermediate Chef].

A job I arrived at after graduating from the entry-level level.

If so, intermediate level is probably next.

‘Gourmet chef.’

At that point, you have the image of being able to use all kinds of ingredients, right?

Thanks to the huge amount of experience I’ve gained recently, I feel like it’s surprisingly not too far to get there.

Then I have to make it and eat it as a proper dish.

* * *

After confirming the reward.

After I went into my room where no one was there.

I glanced down.

“Come out for a moment.”

Let’s talk while looking at the floor.

“Yes, master.”

A voice coming from the shadows.

Soon a blonde woman emerged from my shadow.

“Not a meal…. I think it’s still grace time. “What’s going on?”

A monster who gave up his soul in exchange for my cooking.

Baron of vampires.

I had something to ask this guy.

“Since you worked pretty hard this time, I thought I’d give you a snack.”

“oh!”

When my unit members and I and our collaborators from that city raided [Pope].

[The children of your race are not coming.]

[You guys must have done something.]

The other monsters scattered around the dungeon did not appear.

If that many monsters had joined the battle, our fate would have been quite different.

‘This guy was in charge of that job.’

Before entering the temple.

Just in case, I entrusted him with the direction outside.

This guy played the role of preventing other fishmen coming from outside from getting involved in our battle.

In the process, it is said that about half of the family members who made up the number turned to dust.

‘The surviving members increased their strength by swallowing the fishman’s blood, so the results seem to be similar.’

anyway.

It’s true that I tried.

“I never thought there would be such a reward. I will continue to work hard~”

This is a guy who gave his all to my cooking.

The sight of the nobleman of the night getting excited at the word snack and approaching him, ignoring everything he was saying.

I looked at that figure with a bit of suspicion.

Sigh.

“oh?”

After putting a knife on my wrist.

I drew it slightly.

Grumble.

The blood flowing through my veins flowed down my skin along with a slight stinging sensation.

“Was the snack the master’s blood?”

“You don’t like it?”

“No way!”

The first time I defeated this guy, he cooked with my blood.

Because I didn’t have any blood stored up.

But after that, I learned that I needed to save blood for cooking.

I also saved the blood of the monsters I hunted, so there was no need to use my own blood.

This is the first time since then that I have given this guy my blood.

“It’s hard to find blood of this high quality anywhere. “That precious thing.”

“Because I worked hard. ruler. Drink it.”

“Hehe, thank you~”

I held out my wrist.

The guy put his face there.

licking.

Even though it hasn’t been cooked, is it still quite tasty?

A guy licking blood with an alluring expression.

It was slightly itchy.

and.

“what?”

The guy who had been sucking blood for a moment raised his head as if it was strange.

“master? “Has the bleeding stopped?”

“…Are you just pretending not to know?”

“?”

I actually slit my wrist.

Normally, there should be excessive bleeding that causes death from shock.

but.

There was just enough blood to seep out after she licked it once or twice.

The bleeding stopped quickly.

‘There’s only one reason the bleeding stopped.’

Sigh.

Wipe your wrist with a knife cleaning cloth.

I could see the scar on my wrist that had already healed.

“Oh my, your wound has already healed.”

A regenerative power that allows the wound from being cut on the wrist to heal in an instant.

Awakened people are people who have transcended humanity.

Compared to ordinary people, the speed at which wounds heal is ridiculously fast.

‘It’s not this fast that you can see it.’

A sudden regenerative ability.

Thanks to this, I was able to return to the fight against the Pope early and had a positive effect on clearing the dungeon.

At that time, I didn’t have time to think about anything else, so I just thought that a good thing was a good thing and moved on.

‘It’s too weird even if it’s weird.’

A phenomenon in which a healthy person’s wounds regenerate at a visible rate.

however.

‘Such regenerative power. I’ve seen it once.’

After thinking about it carefully.

The only cause for suspicion is this guy in front of me.

vampire.

Unless the heart is ripped out or exposed to sunlight.

A monster that quickly recovers from wounds.

“You can’t believe it…”

I opened my mouth, breaking into a cold sweat.

Ready to swing the sword according to the answer.

“Did you turn me into a vampire?”
