The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 124

Episode 124 What on earth have you done?

“The person you brought was left to the medic for now. … I’m not sure why the guy who said he was going to meet a monster picked up someone.”

“The story is a bit complicated. “I’ll explain later.”

“…Whew.”

After finishing work in the underground waterway.

I returned to the unit’s temporary base.

Although Minjae was curious about what happened.

‘There’s no way you’d say that’s true just because that cannibal monster said he came back as a human.’

There’s a lot to explain.

“There was a big earthquake in the city a few hours ago.”

“huh?”

Minjae said, crossing his arms.

“It was a shaking that was felt not only by our unit members but also by the awakened people in the city. Most of them seem to have just passed away due to natural disasters. “Some people were saying that there might be monsters running rampant underground in the city… It just so happened that you were heading underground.”

“ah.”

“I’m just saying this just in case. this.”

“I guess I’m right.”

“…also.”

Minjae sighs.

“A battle that will make the ground shake. Was it such a strong monster?”

It was definitely incredibly strong.

The level is slightly lower than that of [Pope], who was the dungeon boss.

“I should have taken the unit members with me…”

“No. “If you take the unit members, you won’t be able to use the vampires.”

Senior executives, including Minjae, know about the troops in my shadow.

But that’s just a minority.

‘There are still many unit members who have a strong antipathy towards the monster itself.’

At least the engineers who lived with the black monster, a type of monster, were a little less resistant.

When you say the rest are monsters, they are first perceived as enemies.

Even more so, the enemy we defeated ourselves.

Because he’s a vampire who even killed several unit members in the process.

“You know? Vampires may be more powerful in places without sunlight. “It was a battle where a lot of them died.”

“Are you saying that not taking the unit members was the right answer? so. “Did you get what you wanted?”

“Fortunately.”

“That’s good.”

Looking at Minjae nodding his head.

I felt a little sorry.

“I’m sorry.”

“hmm?”

“This operation was actually a personal action to solve the questions I was curious about alone.”

This underground move was done with the intention of having a clear concept of my job.

In fact, it was my own opinion.

For now, I am the head of our guild.

That guy threw himself into a dangerous job just to solve my curiosity.

I thought Minjae, who is a bit stubborn, might feel uncomfortable.

“What are you saying?”

“huh?”

“If the problem is that other unit members couldn’t help, that’s the problem. “There is nothing wrong with what you did.”

Surprisingly, that wasn’t the case.

“Because the abilities of you and your job are the core of our unit’s strength.”

“Uh…”

“I heard you succeeded in resolving the question about your job. That means a lot. “What I regret is that the unit members were not able to help with the process.”

Surprisingly positive appearance.

Now that I think about it.

Minjae hyung highly evaluated my career potential from the very beginning of the unit.

‘Does this guy have better intuition than I thought?’

I heard that through this incident, I have raised the value of being a chef.

Before that, I just thought a chef was a cook.

From then on, it was Minjae who promoted me as captain.

Considering that I have already recognized the potential of my job.

It seems like he has better senses than I thought.

anyway.

This underground trip was quite satisfactory from my perspective.

‘It’s not just about resolving questions.’

[Quest – Slay the Adversary]

[Quest goal has been exceeded.]

[Exceeded achievement reward will be given.]

[Gate Summoning Ticket]

[Achievement: Miracle Chef]

[Reward will be given for those who go ahead.]

[Top quality ingredients: Core of a thousand-year glacier]

[Highest quality ingredient: Drop of water from the world stone]

“Tsk…tsk tsk.”

Quest completion reward.

And even rewards for completing achievements.

First of all, the first thing I got was….

Quest [Killing the Adversary].

I had cleared this quest before.

I remember that the reward at the time was a trait enhancement ticket.

“The name of the quest is to kill someone, but since you save them and turn them into humans, they give you excessive compensation.”

Of course I thought the quest would fail.

Rather, things went well.

As the quest conditions were exceeded, the rewards also changed.

[Gate Summoning Ticket]

[When you enter the desired keywords, a gate suitable for the keyword will be summoned.]

“Hmm….”

Gate.

Gatera.

‘What is that?’

I would understand if it were a dungeon.

The problem is that I’ve never heard of the word ‘gate’ before.

How should I use this item?

To be honest, I don’t really feel it.

‘still. It’s an item obtained through excessive compensation.’

The effect won’t be bad.

And the next thing I got was an achievement reward.

The reward here was quite simple… but

its contents were by no means inferior to the previous one.

That’s right.

Because there were two [highest quality ingredients].

“When other achievements were achieved, at most there was only one.”

When he subdued Lieutenant Kim by cooking and when he subdued Ariela.

Each received one ‘highest quality ingredient’ as a reward.

But this time there are two.

“Is this achievement that great?”

but.

The guy who had escaped from being human and became a monster was turned back into a human.

What the system kept saying was impossible was overturned.

It’s nothing compared to poisoning a person or a monster to the point where they can’t survive without my cooking.

and.

When you think of top-quality food ingredients, there is only one use that immediately comes to mind.

[Differentiation of ingredients (strengthening)]

[Differentiation results of ‘Potion of ability increase (power)’]

[Heart of the subdragon – 10%]

[Precious blood of the forgotten saint – 10%]

[Core of the thousand-year glacier – 10%]

[World Stone Water drop – 10%]

[Unidentified material – ??%]

“Hehe. Hehehe.”

It was hard to stop laughing.

Ingredients for ability increase potion.

That’s 40% collected.

There isn’t much time left until I can ‘cook’ a potion that increases my abilities.

actually.

Now I know that the effect of [Divine Power] is to make the impossible possible.

I wondered if it would be possible to make a potion that increases abilities even without the ingredients.

I was thinking of giving it a try right away.

[Sacred Power: 2]

[Makes the impossible possible as much as ‘2’ Holy Power.]

[Caution!]

[If your challenge fails, all accumulated Holy Power is lost.]

After succeeding in turning the monster back into a human, 1 The spiritual power stat increased to 2.

Looking at the explanation, it seemed that the range of ability to make the impossible possible also varied depending on the level of divine power.

The problem is that ‘caution’ phrase.

It is an ability that is worthy of being called a hack or a cheat.

It seemed like there was no penalty.

The moment when a challenge attempted while using divine power fails even once.

All the spiritual power stats accumulated so far are destroyed at once.

And right before I try to cook it.

My intuition as a chef spoke.

“Write. “I don’t think it will work.”

Although there is no exact basis.

It would be impossible to make up for the missing ingredients with the divine power of ‘2’.

My intuition was telling me.

Maybe there is a very low probability of success.

That’s too much of a gamble.

After thinking for a moment, I quickly shook my head.

“There’s no need to gamble.”

He had already succeeded in collecting 40% of the materials without relying on things like his spiritual strength.

If we continue to do this, we will be able to collect all the materials in the near future.

It would be a waste of time to gamble with the hope of bringing that date a little earlier.

“Let’s just keep doing it like we do now. “I’ll be able to make it someday.”

These are the ‘top quality ingredients’ that everyone can hear just by looking at the name.

There are as many as 10 of them.

It won’t end with just one bottle of potion.

A potion to increase ability levels that requires a considerable amount of 1000 points.

The moment when you can create it yourself.

The abilities of unit members will increase explosively.

“Hehehe.”

It feels good just to imagine it.

My intention on this trip underground was to find out about my job.

I gained a ton of unintended rewards.

After finishing arranging the rewards, I got up lightly.

The reason I was able to get those rewards was because I was good.

Because there is someone who became an opportunity.

“It would be polite to at least visit the hospital.”

* * *

“Ah, loyalty. “Sergeant Shin, are you here?”

I did say, “Visiting in hospital…”

The building we were using as a temporary base was originally an ordinary commercial building.

‘There’s no way there’s an infirmary.’

We had no choice but to take a section of the commercial building and use it as a medical office.

It’s hard to say that it’s a good environment, even as a joke.

It’s a temporary base, so there’s nothing you can do about it.

As soon as the urgent matters are completed, we will have to create a proper base.

“You’ve come at the right time. “Sergeant Shin.”

“hmm?”

A medic guarding the infirmary.

Private Sauijun looked at my face and said happily.

“I’m glad you came at the right time?”

“haha. “You know that patient the sergeant brought in?”

“Uh huh.”

“You just came to your senses this morning.”

oh.

The timing is perfect.

I moved into the infirmary following the guidance of Private Sauijun.

The innermost.

I saw a cot with a curtain drawn.

“It hasn’t been long since I woke up. The condition wasn’t as bad as I thought. “I think it would be a good idea to have a conversation in person.”

Let Private Sa Ui-Jun open the curtain.

[Lee Hyun-jin]

[Lv.1 Abnormal Appetite]

Huge size due to enlarged flesh.

Scales cover the entire body, huge horns, and sharp claws.

Even a voice like that of a rough animal.

The appearance of such a grand boss monster was nowhere to be seen.

A woman sitting on a bed and staring blankly out the window.

Is it because of the white hair?

There was a slightly mysterious atmosphere.

Until just a few days ago, he was half a monster.

A person I personally defeated and returned to a human through hardships.

Hyunjin Lee.

‘I can’t get used to it.’

Let’s approach it, feeling a little awkward.

As if she sensed a presence, her eyes turned to Private Sa Ui-jun.

“ah. Doctor.”

“Patient. “How are you feeling?”

“are you okay. “Thanks for taking good care of me….”

“I’m glad.”

As Private Sa Ui-Jun said, he looks quite fine even though it hasn’t been long since he woke up.

“But the person who came with me…”

And.

The moment her eyes landed on my face.

“Hello….”

“Hee hee hee…!”

A short scream rings in my ears.

‘…Heek?’

There was no sign of normal conversation just a moment ago.

“Save me…”

She screams and runs away to a corner.

The IV stuck in his arm was roughly torn off, but he didn’t seem to have time to worry about that.

Shaking…

She ran to the far corner of the room, covered herself with a blanket, and began to shiver.

“….”

“….”

I felt Private Sa Ui-Jun’s eyes looking at me from the side.

In the wide-open eyes.

It meant, ‘What on earth have you done?’

no.

“I didn’t mean to do this….”
