The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 139

Episode 139: Is it a cooking disease that goes around and around?

After the battle was somewhat over.

“First of all, this is equipment provided temporarily.”

Awakened people who cooperated with this defense.

It was now time to pay compensation to them.

“I think you can take it as is.”

“Oh oh…!?”

[Corps-based supply combat uniform]

[Corps-based supply long sword]

Equipment made by hastily contacting the ammunition battalion in preparation for this battle.

Although these are improvised devices.

Meanwhile, the skills of production workers have steadily improved.

I think it’s a level that’s quite usable.

It was similar to the equipment that Lee Sang-ah first made.

“Are you really just giving me this?”

It was quite useful equipment, but I didn’t think it was a waste.

It is true that it is ambiguous compared to the equipment provided to unit members.

“The equipment is a token of our gratitude. “I’m going to pay the price I originally promised.”

“You just give me this equipment and then give me compensation?”

If there were any requests for combat rations or anything else from the Legion, I promised to listen to them to the best of my ability.

From our perspective, this is only possible because we have an abundance of combat rations.

Of course, considering their abilities, it was true that it was too much compensation to give them in one battle.

I have my own reasons for thinking about it.

‘In the future, there will be many things that will be difficult to do with our guild alone.’

There will be times when you need to ask someone else for help.

They could have abandoned the city and fled, but they promised cooperation and fought until the end.

There is nothing wrong with having a friendly relationship.

‘The unit members are very harsh to outsiders, but they are quite friendly to people they have fought with at least once.’

Right now, I feel like I’m giving it away a little bit.

In the long run, it will be beneficial to the corps to grow them, even if we give them a little.

* * *

I will leave the details of the compensation to other soldiers.

I returned to the room assigned to me and settled into the chair.

And I checked the message I hadn’t seen yet.

[Rewards are given as a bonus for winning the first occupation war.]

[Group Skill – War Song]

The first war waged against another force that has occupied territory.

A group skill obtained as a reward for winning the war.

The name was quite familiar.

‘Maybe this is it?’

The song those monsters sang.

When I sang a song while beating the drum, the song became a song and gave a buff to the enemies.

It’s a similar skill…

“…I guess I should also teach military songs to non-military veterans.”

Anyway, a useful buff has been created.

Considering that it was probably a wide area buff, it was a very good skill.

Regardless of this.

What I care about is the reward I received next.

[Acquire experience points.]

What is this in itself?

This is a commonly seen message.

A message that appears every time a monster is defeated.

Is there something a little special this time?

[The level increases.]

[Intermediate Chef Lv.30]

With that reward.

My level has reached 30.

[Promotion is achieved.]

If this world were a game.

Each level 10 was a kind of advancement point.

‘It’s been a while since I reached level 20.’

I thought it was time to move on to the next step.

I never thought it would be today.

“If it’s intermediate, then it must be advanced, right?”

My current job is ‘Intermediate Chef’,

and since I am the highest level in the guild, I am the first to know what the next level job name will be.

Apprentice Lower Intermediate.

If you think about the stages you’ve gone through so far, wouldn’t the next step be something like advanced or advanced?

[The chef’s level has reached a high level!]

[Chefs who have reached a certain level have their own unique style.] [You have

passed the stage of being a mid-career chef and have now established yourself as a chef!]

[You have The path you have walked as a chef will achieve that color.]

[Analyzing the play log.]

[…Analyzing.]

[Promotion completed!]

[Lv.30]

[War Chef]

The new job name given to me. …

was a war cook.

[Your cooking shines on the battlefield more than anything else.]

[The cooking effect related to battle is doubled.]

[The efficiency of large-scale cooking is greatly increased.]

[….]

[….]

[All characteristics evolve to advanced levels.]

[Acquire skills.]

[Skill – Assistant Chef]

The level of the job has increased by one level.

All characteristics have been strengthened, as well as new skills.

I gained a lot in many ways.

“War Chef….”

My new job name.

Something felt strange.

It seems a bit far-fetched to call it war.

Even just thinking about this is cancer.

“Isn’t it a cooking disease?”

…What should I say?

The feeling of turning around and being in the same place.

I started out as a cook sergeant.

While killing monsters, I rolled around like a dog in many ways.

As a result, I think I have entered a high-level section recognized by the system.

‘The result is cooking sickness.’

It was a little absurd, though.

I read the effects listed in front of me.

It wasn’t as bad as I thought.

‘The cooking effect related to battle and the efficiency of large-scale cooking are greatly increased…’ I

recently realized that being a chef is more important than I thought.

But that’s it.

The goal of ordinary chefs may not be to improve the combat abilities of their guests.

But I made most of my dishes solely for combat purposes.

As a result, I guess I changed my job to become a chef specializing in combat.

“It’s okay.”

In any case, there will be many occasions where you will be making dishes for combat purposes in the future.

Specializing in that area wasn’t a bad thing at all.

The next thing to check is skills.

Every time you change jobs by 10 levels, a new skill is provided for free.

[Assistant Chef]

This is the skill I acquired this time.

[Good chefs are called by the title ‘chef.’]

[This word, which has the same origin as ‘chief,’ is the head chef who directs the cooks in the kitchen.] [

In other words, it also means the chef.]

[Many chefs. The qualities of a head chef who leads and commands are also essential for a chef!]

[Invisible assistant chefs assist you in your work.]

“?”

According to the description.

It means that I will have an assistant chef to help me with my cooking tasks.

what.

You’ll find out if you try it yourself.

With that in mind, I tried using the skill…

“…is this possible?”

Even if it’s me.

I couldn’t help but be a little surprised.

* * *

After confirming the rewards from this battle.

I went to a room in the dormitory.

Let’s knock on the door and wait a moment.

“What are you doing?”

“Ah, Sergeant Shin…”

He was trembling in the room.

Corporal Jeon Gwang-il opened the door and came out.

“If you don’t have anything else to do, let’s have a meeting.”

yes?

Corporal Jeon Gwang-il was impressed.

When a unit commander comes and asks to meet with you, it’s natural to be cautious.

“If it’s because of what happened last time, don’t worry… you know. The madness effect.”

“I know.”

I don’t think what I said back then was all about the effect of madness.

I can’t say that.

“Apart from that. “I think we need to interview the unit members.”

“Isn’t this what Lieutenant Kim is doing to some extent? “He’s not like the old battalion commander. Why

is he suddenly…” “I almost died a while ago.”

“yes?”

At the sudden words.

Corporal Jeon Gwang-il’s eyes opened wide.

“I was embarrassed so I didn’t say anything. anyway.”

“Uh, when do you mean? When I fainted during this defense….”

“Not then. “When they sent assassins.”

“ah.”

at that time.

I remember that Gwangil defeated the enemy without any injuries.

On the other hand, I am.

“No matter what. “We’re surviving pretty well, aren’t we?”

“Yes.”

“We have overcome the crisis well so far. “I was passing by and thought there was no risk of being killed by a monster, so I let my guard down.”

“….”

“Just then those assassins came. “If it weren’t for Blackberry, he would have been dead by now.”

Gwangil said with serious eyes.

“As expected, you should have separate guards in addition to those vampires.”

“You should consider that too. I didn’t come here to talk about myself. Either they have become lax like me, or they have some other problem and are preoccupied with it. There could be people like that, right? “I’m just trying to resolve it, just in case.”

“…Hmm.”

Gwangil’s eyes still show that he doesn’t like it.

In that situation, it would be difficult to hear even if there is something you want to hear.

but.

“Gwangil.”

“yes.”

“This is a more important issue than you think. “If you ignore it, it could lead to a big accident later.”

“I understand that. “I don’t really have a problem…”

“And I’m prepared to do whatever it takes to ensure the unit’s survival.”

“…?”

Gwangil looks at me with puzzled eyes.

I put down two types of food in front of him.

On one side are simple fried rice and stir-fried meat.

And on the other side is a small candy in a paper cup.

[War Cook’s Candy of Honest Feelings]

“This is….”

“Candy that makes you become a little more honest when you eat it.”

“…her.”

In other words, well.

It is also said to be the sweetest confession in the world.

Aside from me, Minjae is the only one who knows that emotions can be touched through [Special Sauce].

Gwangil looked a little surprised.

“As expected, Sergeant Shin. “You can do this too.”

“I’m a bit handsome, aren’t I?”

It seemed like they were just passing it off by thinking, ‘I guess something like this is possible with this person.’

“Taste is guaranteed. “It’s candy, but it’s also good for your health.”

“….”

“Do you want to eat and talk or just talk?”

“her. “Is there no option not to say anything?”

“I don’t have time to leisurely do mental clinics.”

Although I think it’s a bit extreme.

Gwangil, who was looking at the candy, burst into laughter.

“I’ll just say it.”

“Good idea.”

I put the candy in my arms.

Gwangil asked after seeing the leftover dishes.

“So what are these dishes?”

“Oh this?”

Sigh.

“Let’s just talk while eating. “Aren’t you bored?”

* * *

Once in the past.

I had a pretty honest conversation with this guy.

As we became closer than before, we became closer.

I guess the distance hasn’t gotten that far.

The guy who decided to speak once.

He expressed his concerns without hesitation.

but.

I listen to that story.

‘what is this sound.’

The problem is that I want to do it.

“therefore.”

“yes.”

“…Because I am so talented that I can solve any problem. “Aren’t you and the other soldiers useless? That’s what you thought?”

Corporal Jeon Gwang-il nods.

“That’s roughly the case.”

“I worked hard to become stronger, but it didn’t help in the end. I felt a sense of shame as the gap between me and myself widened. Is that right?”

“yep.”

I guess I misunderstood.

My impressions of all the stories were simple.

‘That’s a superhuman living somewhere…’

I knew the soldiers overestimated me.

Isn’t this a bit harsh?

This guy literally knew me like I was some kind of superhuman.

Superhumans who are so great that they only become a hindrance rather than a help.

A representative example is this.

“The reason I don’t get involved in the fight is to make concessions so you guys can grow…?”

“Isn’t that so?”

“….”

My job is [chef].

Originally, it was a rear support position.

There are times when we fight on the front line.

Is it possible for non-combatants to be involved in combat to be effective?

Naturally, in most cases, support was limited to cooking.

But this guy strangely misunderstood even that.

Enemies that can be dealt with in an instant if I take the initiative myself.

It means giving up on such enemies for the growth of the unit members.

‘It’s going to turn.’

Let’s touch our eyebrows from stress.

Gwangil continued.

“It is no exaggeration to say that I am alive thanks to Sergeant Shin. “I also want to repay this favor in some way.”

“Uh, okay.”

“But instead of returning the favor… you’re just causing a nuisance.”

“There are many things I don’t understand. “For now, I understand.”

I knew to some extent that the soldiers were overestimating me.

First of all, I am in the position of guild leader… corps leader.

‘I didn’t think that misunderstanding was such a bad thing.’

It is true that it was considered burdensome.

but.

‘Because it’s this kind of world.’

A world where you never know when and where death will come.

so that.

A leader must always exist as a strong person.

Just the fact that their leader is a great person.

This is because members can feel at ease.

So, there are some things that I intentionally left a little bit neglected.

“Who will you blame? “It’s my fault for neglecting it.”

“yes?”

“That’s it. “Let’s get up when we’re done eating.”

Let me get up.

Gwangil said as if he were puzzled.

“Let’s get up. This is my room…? Are you talking about moving somewhere else?”

“Training ground.”

“Why is there a training ground…”

A huge figure reaching 2.3 meters in height.

To a guy who is at the same eye level as me even when sitting down.

“Exercise after eating.”

Bomu also spoke confidently.

“Let’s do some sparring.”

* * *

[Lv.2 Training Ground]

This is a facility created by investing points.

If you train here, the effectiveness will increase.

You can gain experience just by training.

Well, it has many effects.

That doesn’t matter now.

“Corporal Jeon Gwang-il, are you here?”

“Are you coming with us, Sergeant Shin?”

Inside, warriors could be seen training hard.

Are those who awaken as warriors also awakening their growth plates?

There were only hell spears boasting enormous height and muscles.

‘I’m not short either.’

Being stuck between these two people turned into a complete dwarf.

Feeling a little embarrassed, I cleared my throat and said.

“I have something to do with Gwangil. “I’m sorry, but could you please step aside for a moment?”

“Oh yeah. “What?”

“It was already almost over.”

Let the soldiers vacate their seats.

I silently went to the corner and picked up the wooden dagger.

“It’s sparring…”

Corporal Jeon Gwang-il also muttered as he put on his gloves.

“You were considerate of me when you sent the soldiers away.”

“huh?”

“I guess what I’m saying is that since I’m playing the role of a warrior leader, I shouldn’t let others see me getting beaten up. “Even down to the smallest detail… it’s amazing.”

“Oh well. Let’s say that’s the case.”

After I stood in front of the guy who was talking nonsense.

He said as he took his stance.

“Be sincere.”

“I know. If we don’t do it with all our might, the result will come to a close quickly.”

Tuk-tuk.

After clashing each other’s weapons twice.

Sparring has begun.

and.

About 1 minute has passed.

Cheolpudeok.

The thing that fell on the floor.

“You beat up a real senior like a dog just because you said you meant it.”

“….”

“Hey, you have no conscience.”

Of course.

It was me.
