The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 226
Episode 226: Job change (2)
A contract with the devil.
In order for those contractors to be free, the [Contract] skill must be eliminated.
And for that to happen.
‘I need to change my job.’
and.
Examples of success in changing jobs.
I have until now.
I was only able to see it twice.
Ariella once.
Those who become her descendants only have the skills and characteristics of the ‘Vampire Knight’ series.
And once again.
“Mi… this is crazy…!”
You can’t bear to say it in front of me.
A white-haired soldier muttering like that in the corner.
‘Lee Hyunjin.’
She swallowed the monster and became a monster herself.
When she became a monster, she was not human.
Of course, I didn’t have a job.
“Anyway, let me ask you one question.”
“…yes?”
“What did you say your original job was?”
“…that.”
Before becoming a monster.
The job she had.
“It was a job as a defender.”
Pretty ordinary.
It was a job that was common among our unit members.
‘It was probably a profession that mainly military police soldiers awakened to, right?’
Tanking or suppression.
This is a job that specializes in protecting the territory.
She said her main job was as a police officer.
For this crude system, it can be seen as a fairly reasonable job grant.
Although she was like that. The result
of many twists and turns… and
a very slightly painful time.
[Food Ingredient Identification (Enhanced)]
[Primates – Human Species]
She, who had once turned into a monster, became human again.
In the process.
[Awakened: Hyunjin Lee]
[Job: Abnormal Appetite Lv.11]
The job has also changed.
As a result, all the original characteristics and skills disappeared.
There is one trait she has now.
[Attribute]
[Greek]
You can utilize the characteristics and skills of the object you ate.
By eating the enemy, you get a temporary increase in your abilities….
‘Gaegigi characteristic.’
It’s a deceptive characteristic that even I can’t stop talking about.
Although it is similar to [Absolute Taste], which is one of the strongest skills I have.
In some areas, her characteristics are superior.
After going through something like that.
Despite being so busy, research on its characteristics has not been properly conducted.
Although her rank is a general soldier.
The combat power is that of a squad member…
no, it goes beyond that.
Lee Min-jae, Jeon Gwang-il, and Seo Soo-hyuk were showing the same level of performance as team leader.
and.
There was one thing I thought about in that regard.
‘Just looking at that job, it’s a scam, right?’
Although it only has one trait.
Because that trait is a very fraudulent trait.
In fact, in the case of Lee Hyun-jin.
The stats that remain from when it was originally a monster may have a significant impact on its combat power.
That characteristic accounted for more than 90% of the influence of being able to be active in battle.
‘Originally, it would be meaningless to know that a certain job is a scam.’
Because occupations were decided randomly in the first place.
Even if you know it’s a fraudulent job, there’s nothing you can do about it.
It is true that there is a tendency to some extent.
That’s all.
Even I know that the chef profession is quite powerful.
Although there must have been quite a few people who actually cooked, I was the only chef I had met so far. It would be
impossible to train for a specific job
.
This job.
That it might be a little different.
‘The making process is very clear.’
Hold on to those with abnormal appetites.
After a very slightly painful dissection.
A job obtained by turning that guy into a human.
then.
‘Couldn’t it be intentionally increased…?’
That thought.
I did it for a while.
of course.
At the time, it was just a fantasy.
Becoming a voracious eater is not easy.
The process of turning it into a human being is also.
Rattling….
“I can’t believe you’re thinking of doing something like that again….”
“….”
“It would be better to kill him. When I think of that kind of thing happening, wow…”
…A little?
It seems painful.
‘I said my hair was about to turn gray.’
In fact, it still is.
When I make eye contact while passing by, my legs often lose strength and I fall down.
She, who suffers from PTSD just looking at me, mustered up the courage to vote against it.
‘It’s a bit difficult to test on ordinary soldiers.’
but.
The case of those contractors is a little different.
‘They are not ordinary soldiers and they themselves said that they want to change their profession.’
If so!
A fraudulent job copying project that almost got scrapped.
Isn’t it worth restarting?
Actually, the prototype of the project.
In Lee Hyun-jin’s case, he seemed to be desperately opposing it.
Her position is simply that of a soldier.
And I am a corps commander.
‘Yeah, what should I do?’
As for her opinions.
This means that you can coolly ignore it and move on.
“Just wait.”
Your juniors.
I’ll make it for you soon.
* * *
Lee Hyun-jin’s complexion became pale.
After calming her down somehow.
“Hey. “There was also a restaurant.”
I like the buildings they used.
Among them, we went to a place where there was a restaurant.
‘I guess he cooked his own food and ate it.’
Because in the end, they too are human.
It’s a restaurant with quite a few traces of use, as if it was meant to be something to eat.
After I got there.
…what.
What is there for a chef to do in a place like this?
Grumbling…
immediately.
I started cooking.
“I still don’t know what those guys’ tastes are like.”
I plan to do my best to make it happen.
These guys don’t even know what they like because I knocked them out a little too quickly.
then.
What kind of food would you give to those guys?
‘Isn’t this a dish that most people would like?’
and.
The result of many years of cooking experience at a military base.
There is one thing I learned.
[The dish is complete!]
[Tonkatsu on an extremely hungry stomach with the best effort of a war chef]
Who doesn’t like pork cutlet?
In most cases, there isn’t any.
“Put these in the mouths of the people who locked them up, one by one.”
“yes.”
As these are the ones who fainted.
Although you won’t be able to taste it.
If you keep it in your mouth, it will probably go down your throat while you chew it, even in your sleep.
Then the effect will be applied.
“I’m telling you just in case, you should never eat it, so be careful.”
“yes? “Why is that like that?”
“That’s why.”
That dish.
I made it with all my might.
[On an extremely hungry stomach-]
“It’s an appetite enhancer.”
* * *
[Extreme Hunger]
I could roughly predict its effects.
When working on subjugating Ariella in the past.
Because I have experienced the effects of [Extreme Thirst].
That’s what I felt at that time.
‘…even reason can’t hold out for long.’
If you eat that dish.
I was so hungry.
As long as there’s something edible around, you won’t mind anything.
That’s why they were locked in each room.
If you were locked in one room.
…each other.
Because we will eat each other.
“Give everyone an order.”
“yes!”
“Everyone is out.”
“…yes?”
At my command.
The soldiers show a puzzled attitude.
“I can’t believe I’m out.”
“What do you mean?”
“Literally.”
Either that or not.
I decided to give the order I had originally thought.
“There are only two squads left around here that can set up a temporary base. “All the rest should return to their vimanas.”
“What is that all of a sudden…!”
“The same goes for the soldiers who stay. “Establish a temporary base, but stay away from this building as much as possible.”
In those words.
The soldiers shake their heads as if it makes no sense.
“Commander, does this mean you will be left alone?”
“I don’t know what you’re trying to do, but you’re left alone when a monster might appear somewhere.”
“…That’s why I want to be left alone.”
“yes?”
“anyway.”
Because my location is my location.
The soldiers are not pleased with my personal actions.
“All soldiers except me should move away from this building until it is out of sight.”
“Even if you say that.”
“This is an order.”
“…!”
To be honest.
I’ve already done a lot of personal actions.
“Your senior is talking, but you’re not answering?”
“…Loyalty.”
“Tsk tsk. good.”
I’m sorry for being a little pushy.
There is a reason why it has to be that way.
Even though I am human.
Just like when I excitedly sucked Ariella’s blood.
Even if they know that eating monsters turns them into monsters.
You will eat the monster’s corpse.
and.
If that happens…
‘Well, it’s a bit of a fuss.’
After sending out all the soldiers.
I was left alone in the building where the contractors were kept.
A building in the shape of a hallway apartment.
In the middle of it all, there was a small playground where you could see the entrances to all the other apartments.
“Tskcha.”
After setting up a simple tent there.
Put a chair in front of it.
I decided to kill time.
‘I’m bored, so why not wait and prepare the ingredients I’ve been putting off?’
At the same time, I cleaned up the ingredients that were stored in the [Shadow Curtain].
I spend my time doing small things like making combat rations.
like that.
Has it been about 3 days?
-…Grrr.
“oh? “Is it starting soon?”
In the quiet surrounding area.
I began to hear something that sounded like a monster’s cry.
* * *
-Kueoeoeook….
-Kueeeek
“It took about 3 days. “It’s faster than I thought.”
It took quite a while for Lee Hyun-jin to become a monster.
The amount of monsters you have to eat to become a monster is quite large.
Still, the response is this fast.
…Pisik.
“I guess my cooking was pretty delicious, huh?”
It must be the effect of the [special sauce] and [terrible hunger]
I fed them .
They literally.
It must have eaten the monster’s corpses until its stomach exploded.
Once you start devouring monsters like that.
That’s enough.
They say that the effect of [Extreme Hunger] disappears.
As long as you have consumed a monster of that size.
‘Because you won’t even be able to think about eating monster meat anymore.’
When you hear the sounds of monsters.
I got up from the chair and started stretching.
“Now then…”
When will they become complete monsters?
It is not difficult to confirm that period.
Abnormal appetites are all monsters with enormous power.
If you become a monster like that.
Probably soon.
Kwaaaaaaaaaa!
“oh!’
Type 1.
It’s an appearance.
“It’s going to be a Muggle…!”
As I expected.
Buildings sealed with iron strengthened by [Mac]’s magic.
A huge monster that appears and shatters the walls of the building.
“Give me something muggle…! or not…!”
“It’s been a while since this happened. “That stupid way of talking.”
A grotesquely swollen piece of flesh.
An ugly mixture of monsters and humans.
A monster who has ceased to be human.
He lunges at me and shouts.
“You too… me!”
Wow!!!
A monster rushing toward me at incredible speed.
‘These people with abnormal appetites… are incredibly strong.’
When an ordinary person becomes an abnormal eater.
Gwangjin was the leader of the marauders at the time.
He easily overcame the combined attack of his unit members, including Gwangil.
‘Lee Hyun-jin, who was an awakened person, was even worse than that.’
Even though nearly a hundred vampires fought with all their might.
Because much of the vampire power has turned to dust.
‘The more than 100 contractors here… had decent levels and stats.’
What if they all became voracious eaters?
Even so, he may be much weaker than Lee Hyun-jin.
The ideal eater I met for the first time.
It will be much stronger than Gwangjin.
‘There are over 100 such monsters…’
That was the first reason why the unit members were taken back.
If you fight against monsters like that.
No matter how many of our troops are involved, damage is bound to occur.
so.
Crack.
“What are you doing? You’re not coming out quickly.”
These are powerful monsters that will obviously cause great damage to your allies if you try to subdue them.
A more dangerous operation than defeating demonic minions.
In an operation like this…
-Phew, only in this case is it our turn.
I don’t mind losing it.
How should such power be invested?
“So are you dissatisfied?”
-It would be a lie if I said no, right? A servant cannot lie to his master.
Crawl out from the shadows.
Before I knew it, a vampire was standing next to me.
-Instead… I think the direction of dissatisfaction might be a little different.
“huh?”
The vampire baron.
He said with a cold smile.
-I was hoping you would call us more often.
“haha. “That’s disappointing.”
last time.
In the battle to subdue Lee Hyun-jin, she had to lose quite a few of her family members.
It looked quite disintegrated.
“Please look forward to it.”
“huh?”
“This battle. “It will be a little different from last time.”
But as she said.
Things will be a little different this time.
[Vampire Baron]
She was a baronet, a title that is difficult to call a noble.
But after that battle.
She succeeded in becoming a baron, the first person to be called a true noble.
The same goes for after that.
He fought against the Green Mane tribe and absorbed a large amount of their blood.
It’s completely different from before.
A powerful magical power was felt.
At this level…
hmm.
“I guess it won’t be long until the next victory?”
“You are correct.”
then.
A monster rushing towards me.
Watching the distance get closer.
I ask calmly.
“How about some of those guys’ blood?”
“Hehe….”
She let out a blood-smelling laugh.
Change has begun.
“I think it’s almost overflowing.”
The sun has already set.
My shadow was dependent on a lamp in a roughly made tent.
It starts to stretch out.
“…To my master’s master.”
“Loyalty.”
A huge shadow stretched to cover the entire area.
In it.
Burning red eyes begin to reveal themselves one by one.
-Crrrrrrr….
Figures appearing from the stretched shadows.
In the past, only criminals were judged to be incapable of rehabilitation.
-Be loyal to your master!
-Cowoooooooooo!!!
Of course, the Green Mane tribe.
Numerous types of monsters that are almost humanoid.
Monsters that were once enemies of humanity.
Pledge your loyalty to me and prepare for battle.
“Now…”
I have two kitchen knives in both hands.
[Dokgogu style] and [Black Chinese style] roughly held together.
He said, taking a step ahead.
“Let’s start cooking.”
With that said.
-Victory or death!
-Crooooooooooo!
“Glory to my master!”
“Kiyoooot!”
Regardless of whether it is a monster or a human being.
The red-eyed army.
They subdue monsters…
No.
I started cooking.
