The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 67
Episode 67 Village (1)
[You have cleared the dungeon!]
[You have cleared the dungeon for the first time in the human race.]
[Rewards are given to those who went ahead.]
Dungeon clear reward.
It was a message that was enough to relieve complicated emotions.
[We investigate the contribution of those who participated in the dungeon raid.]
[1st place. Youngjun Shin (Junior Chef) – 91%]
[2nd place. Jeong Hong-su (lesser fire mage) 0.4%]
[3rd place….]
…but.
‘The contribution rate is 91%.’
I understand.
In fact, conquering this dungeon was no different from solo play.
Because the dungeon’s obstacle was the environment, there wasn’t much combat.
‘Only killing the most important boss would have a significant impact on contribution.’
The remaining 9% I couldn’t eat seemed to be a contribution from the initial battle entering the dungeon.
A fire mage who specializes in wide-area attacks and is said to have stronger firepower than usual, perhaps due to the effects of environmental changes.
It appeared that flood took second place.
[Experience and points are awarded according to contribution.]
[Your contribution – 91%]
The first reward was points and experience.
And my contribution is a whopping 91%
. [Acquire experience points.]
[Acquire experience points.]
[Acquire experience points.]
[Acquire points.]
[Points -.]
“Big…”
Experience points With the message that it is granted.
A familiar energy rushes through my body.
The energy I felt entering my body when I first awakened.
Experience.
The amount of experience points rushing in was so great that it became difficult to breathe for a moment.
As a result.
[The level increases.]
[The level increases.]
[Lv. You have reached 20.]
[Lv. You have reached level 21.]
My level stayed at level 10 for a long time.
I finally passed the 20 mark.
I even went up one more level and reached level 21.
[Promotion is achieved.]
[Junior chef → Intermediate chef]
[Intermediate chef.]
[Goes through apprentice chef and then junior chef. You have now become a full-fledged mid-level chef.]
[Now you have become a great cook who will not be ignored anywhere.]
[All characteristics evolve to intermediate level.]
[Acquire skills.]
[Five loaves and fish (new!)]
[Five breads and Do you know the anecdote about the miracle of feeding thousands of people with two fish?]
[Now it is not a miracle to you, but a reality.] [
You can feed many people with fewer dishes.]
[The more people sharing a dish, the lower the horsepower consumption. Increases.]
Characteristics that evolve at the same time as promotion.
And even new skills.
That wasn’t the only reward.
[The first human race to conquer a dungeon.]
[Rewards are given to those who go ahead.]
[Title – The one who closes the door]
[The first dungeon conqueror.]
[All stats increase by 10%.]
[Inside the dungeon All effects from are increased by 30%.]
“Wow.”
The second reward given is a title.
Is it because of the significance of being the first human to conquer a dungeon?
The effect of the title obtained as a reward was beyond imagination.
Even though the effect increases inside the dungeon,
the stats increase by 10%.
A trait that will shine even brighter as time goes by and the basic stats themselves increase.
It was given not only to me personally but to all members of the unit who participated in the attack.
[The mother of the black sand bugs has been killed.]
[The leader of a race has been killed.]
[Achievement – Some of the requirements for King Slayer have been fulfilled. (2/3)]
[Reward for partial achievement of the achievement is given.]
[Reward – Characteristic Enhancement Ticket x1]
The next reward was a familiar one.
The same content that appeared when the queen occupying the ammunition battalion was killed.
What was given as a reward was also a characteristic enhancement ticket.
‘Characteristic enhancement rights. This seems like a great reward.’
The food ingredient identification characteristics strengthened through this have been strengthened to the point where they even show the opponent’s characteristic stats.
It’s an achievement that gives these reinforcements as an intermediate reward.
How much is the achievement reward?
and.
The final reward for conquering the dungeon has been given.
[Dungeon – The spawning ground of black sand larvae has been conquered.]
[‘Group skill’ is given as a reward.]
[The energy of the army (new!)]
[Guild. This is a special characteristic granted only to those who have joined the ‘Steel Legion.’]
[The energy of the legion is emitted from the body.]
[Those with the same energy can distinguish their comrades through this energy.] [
With the same energy . When they gather together more than a certain amount, a synergy effect is exerted.]
Group skills.
This refers to a skill that is applied on a group basis, not on an individual basis.
Our guild already has one.
A dog tag worn by all soldiers.
A ‘badge of the corps’ that has an ability-increasing effect attached to the dog tag.
[Guild: Steel Legion]
[Legion members: 191]
[Guild skill: Legion badge Legion energy]
The Legion energy was added there.
Although it was a newly given characteristic, it was strangely familiar.
‘this. I think it’s almost the same effect as the [Black Sand Energy] that the monsters in this dungeon have.’
A reward very similar to the characteristics of the monsters in the dungeon you conquered.
This can’t just be a coincidence.
‘The reward for conquering a dungeon may be something related to that dungeon.’
I’m not sure.
The effects of the characteristics could clearly be felt.
By the time you check out all the rewards.
From far away.
Because I felt a familiar energy approaching.
“Sergeant Shin!”
“Are you okay? “Where are you injured?”
“You can tell when you see it, right? “I’m fine.”
The troops who approached me while clearing out the monsters made a fuss and tried to check my condition.
“Youngjun, you bastard….”
“Really, can you please never do something like this again? “I was really surprised.”
“sorry. “There was no other way this time.”
It’s true that I did something unreasonable.
It’s true that I did something I felt sorry for them.
I have nothing to say.
at that time.
“Oh, but what about that?”
One of the soldiers who arrived nearby opened his mouth and pointed to a corner.
Looks like he was surprised to see something.
“What is it? “That disgusting thing!”
“It looks like a bug is two to three times bigger than a human. Ugh.”
“It’s gross, though. It looks incredibly strong. “Why are you dead in a place like this?”
I wondered what I was surprised to see.
I was referring to the body of the ‘herd mother’.
“It’s the boss monster of this dungeon.”
“yes?”
“It seemed like this guy was spreading the desert’s magic that sucks in enemies. “When I killed this guy, the dungeon collapsed.”
It seemed like there were soldiers who were curious about the identity of the pack mother’s body.
I thought there was nothing to hide, so I decided to reveal my identity.
however.
“….”
“Boss. “It’s definitely a visual sight.”
“Look at that. There were no other wounds, only the neck was cut cleanly. “I killed him with one blow.”
“I guess there was no pain when I died.”
“…oh my god.”
Soldiers muttering something and looking at me.
Something strange changed in their gaze.
What can I say?
Eyes filled with astonishment.
Lee Sang-ah, who was looking back and forth between the dead body of the brood mother and me, asked in a strange tone.
“a moment ago. “Didn’t you say you defeated the boss in a guild message?”
“It did.”
“…I thought you were going into the enemy camp alone.”
Lee Sang-ah mumbles helplessly.
“You did that because you were confident.”
* * *
After joining the main unit.
The post-processing of the battle began in earnest.
I was working on selecting and transporting only the monster corpses that were intact enough to be used for cooking.
“Now that I think about it, it seems like I’m the one who monopolizes the rewards. sorry.”
A thought occurred to me and I said:
Dungeon raiding was a choice for the growth of our guild.
The reason the unit members participated without hesitation in the dangerous task of conquering dungeons was probably for their own growth.
But in reality, I was the only one who enjoyed the reward.
“What are you talking about?”
“We have also grown a lot.”
however.
Minjae and Gwangil shook their heads as if asking what they were talking about.
“A title obtained as a reward. “The characteristics alone are amazing.”
“That too. “The experience gained by the unit members is significant.”
“Most of the unit members have probably risen a few levels.”
Experience points and points given as rewards for conquering dungeons were distributed differentially according to contribution.
I would have taken most of it.
how?
“With so many monsters, it’s hard not to level up.”
ah.
It was only after hearing that that I understood what was being said.
The larvae filled the walls and ceiling of the subway station and even swarmed in the sand.
“The experience given by each animal was not much, but with just one swing of the weapon, three or four were caught.”
“It was almost a drive hunt. In particular, wizards would have grown tremendously.”
It was not me, but my unit members, who eliminated all the runaway guys as the dungeon collapsed.
The experience was incredibly valuable.
‘A dungeon I would never have been able to conquer if I hadn’t acquired [Absolute Taste].’
High risk, high return.
As the difficulty level was high, the reward was also certain.
and.
More important achievements still remained.
“There’s a room or something here!”
“Is this a space where you were planning to build a bathroom or something?”
It was a space that had turned into a desert.
After the brood mother who created the space died.
It returned to the appearance of an ordinary subway station, with only a lot of sand on the floor.
Of course, the station was still under construction.
I didn’t think it would be of much use to us.
“Youngjun.”
“Minjae hyung? what’s the matter.”
“Come here for a moment.”
I followed Minjae, who called me, and arrived at a huge, communal space.
“here is?”
“excuse me. “Look inside.”
Let’s look at the place Minjae pointed out.
The end of the cavity.
I saw a huge cylindrical passage.
A huge passage that could easily accommodate several trams.
“It’s a subway passage.”
Although the station is under construction.
The construction appears to have progressed quite a bit.
“So there is a road leading to another station?”
“okay. “It doesn’t look like the railroad tracks have been laid.”
I think I understand why Minjae tried to show me this passage.
“What I said last time. “Do you remember?”
“…I said that the railroad was traditionally used as a movement route for the military.”
“okay.”
We plan to continue to grow our power.
However, Inje-gun, where we are currently located, is nothing more than a small county-level city.
‘In order to increase the number of people, we must one day expand our influence to other cities.’
Traveling such a long distance is no easy task.
A world where monsters and zombies attack you wherever you go.
There is a high possibility that places like highways where many vehicles pass by will be blocked by vehicles that have been involved in an accident.
On the other hand, the subway is a closed passage except for stations.
Of course, unlike open roads, there is less chance of being attacked by monsters.
Railroads, which have mostly straight routes, are also the shortest route to the destination.
‘A road to another city.’
It’s not just about expansion of power.
My family now doesn’t know if they are dead or alive.
Someday, when I return to my hometown to meet them.
A straight railroad track would be the fastest route.
perhaps.
Securing this subway itself may be the greatest achievement that is not surpassed by other rewards.
* * *
like that.
When you return after successfully completing a dungeon raid.
“Sergeant, I have a report to tell you…”
A small number of soldiers guarding the unit.
They approached me with troubled faces.
I was wondering what was going on.
“Survivors began to settle around the base.”
