The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 160
Episode 160: Bad food (1)
[Cheonho]
[Sealing….]
[Target risk level – 9↑]
[Time remaining until unsealing – 235928304….]
Sealing.
The number written in the time remaining until the seal was lifted continued to decrease.
Assuming it decreases by 1 per second.
If this trend continues, it will probably take about 10 years.
“It’s called a seal.”
Let’s spread the word.
Seohwan also looks very surprised.
“Do you have any guesses?”
“Oh no. “I fainted and woke up in this situation… Or rather, if they were sealed, why am I the only one who doesn’t feel anything?”
“I don’t know.”
I have my doubts about that too.
We should check that now.
“Let’s buy it. “He is usually kinder than anyone else, but he boasts stronger strength than anyone else.”
The next thing I saw was a large woman with bear-like ears.
[Roaring]
[Target risk level – 7]
[Time remaining until the seal is lifted – 55115256….]
Hmm.
This one is different from the man named Cheonho I saw for the first time.
There was only one-tenth of the time remaining until the seal was lifted.
There’s roughly a year left.
‘The risk levels are 9 and 7.’
After that, I continued to look into the situations of several people.
“This is Samae Sarin. “He is a master of poison.”
“Hmmmm.”
“A new type of death penalty. Even in the text, he is considered one of the best experts in boxing. He has a playful personality. “He often played with me.”
“I see.”
As a result of checking with a few more people.
Risk level and time remaining until the seal is released.
The correlation between the two numbers was roughly understood.
“You said you were the weakest one here, right?”
“that. “It’s a shame, but it is.”
“Is that injury to your face making you weaker than your prime?”
“It’s unfortunate, but that’s also true.”
The reason this guy woke up alone.
I think I know roughly.
If so, hmm.
I carefully come up with an estimate in my head.
this.
If you do it well….
“I think there might be a way.”
“what!’
Words muttered inadvertently.
Seohwan heard those words and roughly squeezed my shoulder.
“There is a way. “Is that really true?”
“I’m serious, though. Let’s calm down first…?”
“Not even a member of the National Assembly. “How can Suksu do that?”
Telling me to calm down doesn’t make any sense.
“The problem is that I don’t know if this will work or not.”
“what?”
I think it might work… but
even if it does, I don’t think it will work for everything.
“no way. “Is this some kind of dangerous method?”
“hmm. “Maybe not?”
Let’s say I have a way.
Seohwan can’t hide his excitement and urges me on.
“what. “It’s not difficult to try that method.”
“Then do something as quickly as possible…!”
“Instead, there is one condition.”
“What are the conditions?”
“you. “You banned me earlier for not trusting me, right?”
“…?”
actually.
I also don’t trust you.
“Add conditions to the ban.”
“…What conditions are you talking about?”
“If those who awakened thanks to me turn against me, you will protect me even at the cost of your life.”
“…!”
Right now, I think I can handle this guy with just Kamangi and the rest of the unit.
If you wake up others.
The story might be a little different.
“No, that’s not enough. In the first place, I agreed to receive everything from you in exchange for sparing my life, so I guess I should add that to the taboo as well.”
“…Wasn’t it for the sake of your subordinate’s martial arts that you were trying to wake them up? “If you don’t wake me up, it will be a loss for you too.”
“what. “It’s better to suffer damage than to die.”
“….”
“Keep this in mind. I said I would only spare your life. “I have no obligation to wake them up.”
You can wake me up.
I can wake you up.
Then.
Shouldn’t the contract be more clear?
From this guy’s perspective, he would also like to somehow resolve the situation where his colleagues are turning a blind eye like that.
I looked at him confidently.
OK.
“…I believe you are not lying.”
[Prohibition is added.]
[If ‘Shin Young-jun’ succeeds in awakening the disciple of Cheonsan Gate, ‘Seo-hwan’ decides to listen to all of Shin Young-jun’s orders.]
[Penalty – Death]
“It’s a good choice.”
Well then…
let’s start with the classification task.
* * *
“I don’t know if it will work or not. “If it is possible, this is what is possible.”
There were three prisoners lying in front of me.
[Miho]
[Target risk level – 3]
[Time remaining until the seal is released – 11251128….]
Fox woman.
[Cruise]
[Target risk level – 3]
[Time remaining until the seal is released – 9784734….]
Pig man.
[Woojin]
[Target risk level – 3]
[Time remaining until the seal is released – 10532708….]
Horse man.
A total of 3 people.
“…We have something in common.”
“oh? “Did you notice?”
“Aren’t they the ones with the weakest fighting ability? Of course, all three of you are stronger than me.”
You’re smarter than I thought.
I looked at Seohwan and asked.
“Among these, is there anyone who can break Bi-dong’s seal?”
“…It might be possible with Sister Miho.”
“oh?”
surely.
Of these three, the remaining time is the longest.
“Samae Miho’s martial arts skills are low… but her position in the main gate is quite high.”
“Is that so?”
good.
If so, there is nothing to hesitate about.
I immediately started preparing the food.
“…?”
Let me pull out various tools from the shadows.
Seo-hwan looks at him curiously.
“What are you trying to do?”
“I told you, right? “I am a chef.”
Is there any way for a chef to solve the problem?
‘Cooking.’
As a result of my examination of the condition of these people.
There was one thing I learned.
‘The lower the risk level, the shorter the time remaining until the seal is lifted.’
The stronger the being, the longer it must be bound by the seal.
The weaker the person, the faster he will be released.
When I first realized this concept.
There were stories passing through my head.
-As time passes, the enemy will become stronger.
Words spoken by the ‘Pope of the Deep’ just before his death.
Seohwan also said that the beings that appeared became stronger as time passed.
‘It’s exactly the same as the seal thing, right?’
The stronger the enemy, the later he is released.
It corresponds exactly to the story told by the Pope and Seohwan.
At that point.
It’s just a guess, though.
I could guess who the entity that had placed this seal was.
maybe.
No, I think it’s probably right in 9 out of 10 cases.
‘…It must be our world.’
There is no other being capable of doing something like this.
A world invaded.
Could it be something like a defense mechanism in that world?
‘Even though we were invaded, it means we won’t just tolerate it.’
What if an incredibly powerful entity begins its activities from day one?
The world could be destroyed on the first day of the invasion.
This seal is to prevent such a situation.
It seemed like this world itself should be viewed as a strong seal.
If there is anything you are concerned about.
‘Among the monsters that attacked the military base, there were some who were incredibly strong just by looking at them.’
The lizards that attacked our unit were gentlemen.
Is it because our unit was a relatively small unit?
It can be said that he was not a strong enemy that deserved to be sealed somehow.
The Spider Queen who was guarding the ammunition battalion.
Ariella in the bunker.
Even the monster with the eyes of the tank battalion.
Even now that I think about it, these guys were powerful enemies that were difficult to deal with.
If this seal works properly.
These are normal beings who should have been inactive in the first place.
‘Seo-hwan also said that. The monster that destroyed the imperial palace was incredibly powerful.’
The answer to this part too.
Actually, I was guessing to some extent.
‘Wishing for the destruction of the world…obvious malice.’
In order for that malice to destroy the world’s strongest power first.
It seems that beings that should have been sealed originally were forcibly released.
If this guess goes by.
Why do stronger monsters appear as time passes?
Why are particularly strong people placed first in military bases?
Everything becomes explainable.
‘what. ‘That’s not what’s important right now.’
anyway.
From what I’ve seen.
These guys in front of me.
‘What I’m saying is that in about 100 days, my eyes will open anyway.’
I didn’t tell Seohwan, though.
The problem is that I have a hard time waiting for those 100 days.
That means 100 days.
In a world like this, there is no guarantee that I will be alive in three months.
You never know when Gwangil’s madness will lead to an accident.
so.
What I will do is simple.
‘Advance.’
The seal is scheduled to be released in 100 days.
that.
Let’s just wake him up right away.
* * *
The idea was simple.
For these guys, the time it takes to release the seal varies depending on the ‘danger level’.
‘The risk level probably refers to strength.’
Seohwan was already the weakest among them.
but.
Even taking that into account, it’s not like you could open your eyes right away.
Perhaps that’s why he opened his eyes on the first day of Doomsday.
‘That facial injury.’
Seohwan’s power.
It was said that he was weaker than when he was in his prime.
If so then that.
‘Doesn’t this also apply to the guys lying here?’
The dish I was going to make was simple.
The dishes I’ve made so far are based on the health and nutritional balance of the unit members.
If the goal was to provide a high buff.
The dish to cook now.
A dish with a completely opposite direction.
‘I really liked it when I was young. I got scolded a lot.’
Put it bluntly.
It is a junk food.
What was taken out from the shadow was a lump of sugar.
And next to it.
[Poizner starch]
[It is the starch of the otherworldly crop Poizner.]
[It provides a more chewy texture to food due to its unique magical power….]
[However, caution must be taken when using it. Poisner has a unique poison….]
Alraune is located in the ammunition battalion.
Materials made from the ‘otherworldly crops’ that were growing next to her.
Among them, this was the role of starch.
“What is this powder?”
“hmm. It’s made from ingredients grown by a farmer in our unit…”
Since I have some cooking experience.
Seohwan is curious about the identity of the material.
I almost explained it without thinking… but.
“…You won’t understand if I explain it anyway, so let’s just skip it.”
“Hmm. That’s right too. Even if you hear about the crops of this world, you probably don’t know.”
I managed to get over it without explaining it.
‘It’ll be easier if you just don’t know.’
anyway.
After combining the prepared starch and sugar in a certain ratio.
Pour water on it and mix.
“For now, this is enough.”
The ingredients for the dish I will make are simple.
All you have to do is add syrup and natural coloring.
but.
The problem is that there is no suitable syrup and natural coloring…
‘Should I make it right away?’
[Sugar namite leaves]
[Sugar namite leaves boast a unique flavor. It is known as an ingredient that slightly changes the flavor of dishes depending on the color of the leaves.] [
However, care must be taken when using it, as sugar namite causes unique diseases…]
After taking out a few leaves from the shadows, .
Let’s squeeze out the moisture from the leaf.
Natural pigments of various colors are created.
The unique flavor is a bonus.
In addition to that.
[Juice of the Baroness plant]
[This is the juice of the carnivorous plant Baroness plant. As an ingredient with a deep sweet taste, it is also widely used in various types of snacks.] [
However, caution must be taken when using it. This in itself is not a big problem, but if combined with starch, it can cause serious health problems…] A
thick liquid that boasts a deep sweet taste.
Even the syrup is complete.
“Let’s put this together…”
“Hmm.”
“Mix it well and then put it inside this straw!”
“Hoo.”
[Panpolo filled with the sincerity of a war chef]
[This is a snack with a variety of sweet flavors that young children will enjoy.] [It boasts a
deep yet refreshing sweetness thanks to the chef’s sincerity.]
“It’s complete.”
“Hoo. It’s an unusual shape. Is it like a cuisine unique to this world? “Let’s have a taste…”
Seohwan reaches for the completed panpolo.
“Dang!”
“!?”
I freaked out and threw his hand away.
“What are you doing!”
“…This is for patients. “You can’t eat it.”
“hmm? Umm. That’s right. sorry. “I stopped because I was captivated by the sweet scent…”
Her face looks younger than her tone of voice.
I thought that maybe I was at an age where I was attracted to junk food like this.
I felt a little sad for a moment.
‘If you eat that, you’ll be in big trouble…’
But you can’t just let him eat it, right?
anyway.
I handed the finished dish over to Seohwan.
“…? “Didn’t I tell you not to eat it?”
“I’m not telling you to eat it. “Please feed those three yourself.”
“Why? Wasn’t it you who made it? “You can feed it yourself.”
“You will probably open your eyes as soon as you eat this. “How would you feel if there was someone you had never seen standing in front of you?”
“…hmm. “You’re not wrong.”
This time, Seohwan manages to be fooled.
Of course, that’s not really the reason I skipped cooking.
The reason why I made Seohwan cook is simple.
That dish.
[Prohibition]
[Do not take any hostile action towards the disciples within Tianshan Gate.]
If you do something wrong.
You may be judged as violating the prohibition.
‘The term junk food… is actually rude to Panpolo.’
Thanks to the media’s harassment of it as a junk food.
When I was young, many children had to be scolded by their parents for eating panpolo.
A fact revealed later.
‘Because panpolo is not a particularly unhealthy food.’
A decent snack.
It has been stigmatized as a poor food product by the media.
Later, the story that the boss told while crying became quite a hot topic.
I made my own panpolo and asked if there were any elements here that were bad for my health.
Because I looked at the recipe back then.
This is how I was able to make panpolo.
anyway.
To be exact, panpolo is not a junk food.
‘What I have to make is real junk food.’
I have no choice.
There was a need to change the other ingredients that went into it.
[Poisner]
[It is a highly toxic nine-sulphur crop.]
[Sugarnamite]
[It is a grass that has the disadvantage of reducing all types of abilities and resistance when ingested.] [
Baronet] [If
you do not follow the unique recipe , It is a herb that requires caution as it can significantly reduce the body’s resistance.]
‘It’s funny that all ingredients taste great.’
The taste is good, though.
Instead, ingredients that can cause ‘very great harm’ to your health.
[When ingesting, all abilities are greatly reduced.]
[When ingesting, you temporarily acquire a status abnormality – ‘Food Poisoning.’] [
When ingesting, you temporarily acquire an abnormal status – ‘Esophagitis.’]
[When ingesting, you gain all types of resistance . This decreases slightly.]
[….]
[….]
I don’t know if this is correct.
Very good….
the perfection of junk food.
“All you have to do is feed the contents inside, right?”
“hmm.”
I nodded.
Seohwan brings food to the mouths of people lying down with a nervous look on their faces.
[Woojin]
[Target risk level – 3]
[Time remaining until the seal is lifted – 10531552….]
“Excuse me. execution.”
The man on the horse.
A junk food that boasts the ultimate sweet taste enters his mouth.
OK.
[The target’s abilities are greatly reduced!]
[The risk level changes.]
[Target risk level – 3 – > 2 (New!)]
[Time remaining until the seal is released – 10531552… – > 231552…. (New!)]
A significant decrease in abilities.
For awakened people, an effect similar to having their level cut in half is applied first.
[Multiple status ailments are applied to the target!]
[The risk level changes.]
[Target risk level – 2 – > 1 (New!)]
[Time remaining until the seal is released – 231552…. – > 42857. …(New!)]
Multiple status ailments.
A poison that overwhelms the body to the point that it cannot function in its original condition.
finally.
[All resistances of the target are greatly reduced!]
Even the slightest wind of dust reduces resistance to the point of causing disease.
for the first time.
[Target risk level – 0]
[Time remaining until the seal is lifted – 10….]
[9….]
[8….]
[7….]
The entity that was sealing the existence of the other world.
The world judged the risk level to be 0.
[…2]
[1]
[0]
The moment the number becomes 0.
The horse-shaped man cautiously opened his eyes.
“Are you the youngest?”
“execution…!
Looking at that.
I felt my heart sink a little.
‘Let’s settle the death penalty.’
Although it was done to make a profit.
Reuniting with family you haven’t seen in a while.
I expected it to be a somewhat touching scene.
“You’re alive. “I thought you died with a wound on your face…!”
“I was lucky to survive. execution.”
To the fact that the executioner opened his eyes.
Seo-hwan is happy and sheds tears.
“It seems like heaven’s luck was with you.”
“yes. “Really.”
“Anyway, what on earth is this sweet sweetness lingering in my mouth? Cooler…!”
That face.
Woojin was covered in the black blood he vomited.
“Cough, gasp… What is this pain? “It’s like I’m suffering from a terrible plague.”
“….”
“Keuheook. Ma, the youngest. Save me! “I feel like I’m going to die… gasp… gasp.”
I guess.
It seems like the reunion was a bit far from emotional.
“…Maybe the effect was a little excessive.”
