The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 180

Episode 180: Domination of electricity.

[Elemental Cooking]

[You can process food ingredients and convert them into specific elements.]

[You can process specific elements to make them more delicious.]

As the name suggests.

Processing certain food ingredients into elements.

Or the power to process elements and cook delicious food.

After I activated this feature.

“Hmm!!!”

A huge dark cloud created by Minjae.

I put my hand inside it.

A man who boasts the strongest firepower in our unit.

Minjae Lee.

Due to its specialized nature in wide-area attacks, leveling is relatively easy among combat roles.

That level is the second highest in the unit after me.

A dark cloud that he created with all his might.

Putting your hand inside it would have originally been an act of suicide…

[It is a friendly magical body.]

[Attribute – ‘Elemental Cooking’ is activated.]

Unless the subject of that magical energy rejects me.

Now that I have learned a new trait.

That harsh lightning is nothing more than food to me.

‘Got caught!’

Let’s put our hands into the dark clouds.

I felt something being grabbed.

Slightly rough and hot to the touch.

This must be the lightning Minjae made.

Elemental cooking does not end just because you have mastered it like this.

[Elemental Cooking] is a branch of [Mana Cooking].

[Mana cooking] is about enhancing the taste of magical power itself.

‘Here… I put my magic power.’

Anyway, this is a dish.

It includes a delicious processing process.

“Hmph…!”…

In my memory, ‘I’ was cooking while making strange noises.

I tried it myself.

I completely understood why he had to do that.

‘It’s not ordinary work…!’

Lightning that exists just fine.

By putting my magic into it.

A task to transform lightning into a more ‘high-quality’ and ‘tasty’ product.

‘Is this really cooking?…!’

A recipe from a completely different world.

It was completely different from the cooking I had done so far.

I thought I had accumulated some time as a chef by cooking for a long time.

In this [Elemental Cooking].

None of the know-how I had accumulated over the years worked.

Wrestling with the captured lightning.

The process of forcing my magic into it.

“Sergeant Shi Shin….”

“…I can’t believe you stuck your hand in that dark cloud and still felt fine.”

I don’t know what the guys watching are thinking.

It was by no means an easy task.

‘Isn’t it for no reason that it exists separately from the [Advanced Cooking Skill] trait?’

A different world to begin with.

Recipes of different races.

At least this much is possible because I experienced the ‘me’ in my memory.

That I would be able to handle it perfectly from the beginning.

It would be arrogance to even think like that.

but.

“It doesn’t have to be perfect…!”

[Skill – Chef’s Special Sauce]

The most deceptive thing about this skill is.

It is not the high point that comes when you cook the best dish.

‘No matter how tasteless the dish is, the effect is not 0!’

After tweaking the magic within it as much as possible.

thereon.

A little bit of special secret sauce is added.

That’s it.

-Tiring.

This is the completion of the dish.

[War Chef’s somewhat incomplete lightning bolt of deep helplessness]

Before I could even tell you that.

“You… what on earth did you…?”

“what?”

“How can you not be a wizard?”

Minjae’s expression changed greatly.

Minjae looks at me with an expression full of astonishment.

“Are you interfering with my magic…!?”

The magic you cast.

Minjae, who was the master of magic, would be able to notice the change.

but.

“What have you done?”

Even if you ask me that.

My job is a chef.

Of course I did it too.

“It’s cooking.”

“…her.”

Let’s answer shamelessly.

Minjae looks at me with his mouth open as if he is dumbfounded.

“anyways. “The dish is ready.”

“…I have some doubts about whether what you did was cooking.”

“I’ll leave it to my brother to feed that to the guests.”

“…Whew.”

After hearing what I said, Minjae sighed softly.

It seems like he just put it down.

He said with a small smile.

“What about that part? “Leave it to me.”

The dish is complete.

but.

The person who will eat that dish is in a bar on an island far away.

I don’t even have the ability to deliver dishes to guests.

so.

I guess you can leave the serving to someone else.

-Page jijijijik….

Lightning gathered together in a dark cloud.

It seemed like all that concentrated energy was gathering in the hands of Sergeant Lee Min-jae.

It changes into the form of a huge window.

“Hmm…!”

Minjae, who was holding the spear, turned his back sharply.

The most traditional javelin throwing stance.

and.

Paaaaaaaaaa!

With enough force to shake the boat I was on.

A spear of lightning flew into the island where the power plant was built.

‘That lightning shield will burn away all ordinary attacks.’

Minjae’s lightning spear too.

At first glance, it looks like an ordinary attack to kill an enemy.

[Salmoneus eating lightning]

For the guy crouching inside.

Minjae’s lightning is no different from providing a delicious meal!

-The curtain spread on Pajijijik

Island did not block Minjae’s window.

as it is.

A window flying towards the power plant in the center of the island.

“….”

“What’s going on?”

The change did not happen immediately.

but.

A few minutes passed like that.

-Pajijik….

-Pajik.

“Uh huh?”

“The curtain…”

A curtain of lightning that did not allow anything to approach the island.

That tent.

-…pick.

has disappeared.

“…Youngjun.”

Looking at that.

Minjae, who just used a huge magic spell.

He muttered while looking at me.

“me. “I reached level 30.”

“…oh.”

Announcement that the operation was successful.

News about gaining experience points.

What this means is simple.

Eat.

“It looks like you enjoyed your meal.”

* * *

“Is this guy the one who created that lightning?”

“okay. “It looks a little different than when I saw it in person,” but

the island has disappeared.

We went straight up the island and headed to the power plant where the monster was located.

A snake so large and majestic that it could fill a power plant.

That guy is now.

“Are you alive?”

“Well maybe?”

The grandeur I saw was everywhere.

It was rolling around the halls of the power plant.

-Sigh….

It has become so small that it cannot be compared to the past.

A guy curled up in a deep sense of helplessness.

“Look at it like this. “It looks like an electric eel.”

“It’s kind of cute.”

“I guess it was like this before I gained strength.”

Blackfish was similar.

When I first met him, he was incredibly strong.

When I lost my strength, I turned into a kitten.

Is the difference that this one is a reptile?

by the way.

“It was the first elemental dish I tried. “Was it more delicious than I thought?”

To be honest, it was a dish I wasn’t confident in.

I thought it would be nothing more than a slight decrease in momentum.

Did you ever think it would be completely suppressed like this?

‘no. I think it would be fair to say that my cooking itself wasn’t that great.’

My first time cooking.

No matter how good of a cook I am.

It’s hard to cook the best dish the first time you try it.

Nevertheless, this level of effect was achieved.

[We have witnessed the ultimate in elemental cooking!]

[The effect of elemental cooking increases by 50%.]

Memories of Chef Dasmur.

It must have been because I saw the chef’s dramatic action in that memory.

“Then…”

“What do you want to do?”

Watching him like that.

The soldiers looked at me and asked.

What are you going to do?

“You are asking something obvious.”

Soldiers ask questions as they look at the eel-like thing rolling around on the floor.

I left those guys behind and approached [Salmoneus].

“I have to kill him.”

“…Yes?”

He thrust a knife over it.

“Sergeant Shi Shin?”

“You’re not going to capture this guy alive?”

“Ah, I know what you’re saying.”

Soldiers who ask that question.

I could understand what they wanted to say.

“That’s right. “It would be helpful if we could capture this guy alive and make him an ally like Blackman.”

“But why…”

“This guy is different from the black guy.”

Unlike Kkamangi, who had a definite physical body.

[Salmoneus is a life form made of electrical energy…]

This is a life form made of pure energy.

As in the case of the black cat, it is impossible to confine it somewhere.

furthermore.

[It has a violent personality and is hostile to those who invade its territory…]

Unlike the black dog, which was described as being docile by default.

Basically, he has a violent personality.

A [Night Noble] who is now part of my household.

Ariel also said that.

‘You may be able to become friends with a monster with a gentle personality, but it would be close to impossible to subdue a violent monster through cooking.’

Actually, that’s not the whole reason.

The most important thing is:

“I don’t think my cooking will be enough to subdue this guy.”

“Ah…”

In the case of Kamangi’s teppan cooking.

At least I was able to put some of my cooking knowledge to use.

However, what this guy uses for the lightning he eats is ‘element cooking’.

This dish was at a level where I was just getting started.

It’s similar to suddenly asking someone who has cooked Korean food their whole life to cook Vietnamese food.

It would be impossible to subdue another being through this.

“Even if you try to make it perfectly friendly through cooking, you need to have the cooking skills to do so.”

I wonder if I just need to improve my skills.

There is an overwhelmingly high chance that this guy will escape and cause an accident before he develops his skills.

“It’s a shame, but it’s right to deal with it.”

Raise your sword like that.

The moment when the body of the guy made of electricity was cut in two.

“for a moment.”

“huh…?’

Someone grabbed my arm.

When I looked back, it was none other than there.

“Minjae hyung?”

“Just wait a moment.”

It was Sergeant Lee Min-jae.

“Wait. “What…”

“There’s something I want to find out.”

Minjae hyung stopped my actions.

He carefully walked towards [Salmoneus].

Walking around there.

Minjae continues to observe the guy.

I was wondering what on earth you were going to do.

After a while.

“…haha!”

“It’s a surprise.”

Minjae seems to have gained some confidence.

He opened his mouth with an excited laugh.

“Youngjun.”

“uh?”

“thanks.”

“…?”

With a smile full of joy.

Sergeant Lee Min-jae, to whom I express my gratitude.

Thank you.

…What are you thankful for?

“I had to be jealous when I saw that the awakened warriors had acquired martial arts. “To be honest, I was a little disappointed.”

“ah.”

“That’s why I whined at you a little too…”

Definitely.

Our unit’s newly acquired strength this time.

[Martial Arts] is a power that is only effective for warrior classes.

Wizards and archers had no choice but to be left out.

“Are you going to give me something like this just because I was jealous and whined about it? “You seem like a grateful child.”

“…?”

I was watching because I had no idea what he was talking about.

Minjae speaks while placing his hand on [Salmoneus].

“I told you. After throwing lightning at this guy earlier, he reached level 30.”

“I heard that…”

“As you may have experienced, quite a few things change once you reach level 30.”

That’s right.

I too was able to grow into the profession of ‘war chef’.

‘Change.’

I became curious about the changes Minjae was talking about.

I looked at that face carefully.

[Identification of food ingredients (enhancement)]

[Awakened: Lee Min-jae]

[Job: Radio Wizard Lv.30]

Level over 30.

Minjae’s job is ‘radio wizard’.

and.

What caught my eye was nestled underneath.

It was a characteristic.

[Attribute]

[Advanced Electricity Affinity]

[Magic Circuit – Thunder]

[High-Speed Chanting]

….

….

[Lowest Electricity Control] (New!)

“…Huh?”

“I guess you noticed.”

The name of Minjae’s newly acquired trait is.

Lowest level of electrical dominance.

And…

that monster lying at our feet.

[Salmoneus eating lightning]

It was a creature made of electricity.
