The notifications for leveling up continued to ring!
When he achieved 95% of the fullness, he was able to raise his level to 190 but right now, he was able to hear 31 level up notifications just by feeding the Phoenix Lord. It was a completely ridiculous leveling speed. In other words, just by feeding the Phoenix Lord, Minhyuk was able to raise his level to Lv221.
This meant that he could now finally go to the beach and eat flatfish and rockfish. He smiled happily at the thought.
However, he thought that something was strange. The Phoenix Lord had an extremely ridiculous pickiness but when she ate her fill there were no artifacts that dropped.
Then, Chronicle talked to him as if to explain this.
“He will give you the remaining rewards.”
He!
The subordinate of the Food God!
Chronicle smiled at Minhyuk.
He was able to feed all of the monsters in the monster’s paradise until they had their fill! Even though he did an atrocious act like grilling hotbars on her fire, she was still extremely grateful to him.
The skinny Chronicle had now become plump and energetic and along with that, the flames on her body had intensified.
Crackle, crackle, fwoosh!
“Kkiiiiiiieeeeeeee!”
The Phoenix Lord screeched loudly as a blazing fire shot out towards the sky like a firework. The flames that fell from the aftermath of such a huge fire fell to the ground and did not extinguish.
Then, at that moment…
Crackle, crackle!
A man walked out of the blazing flames.
The blazing flames shot high!
The members of the Special Users Management Team all fell silent as a man came out of the blazing flames!
The man had bright red hair and he was wearing an armor. The armor plate was made with dragon bones. This man was someone that was considered to be dead now but he was still one of myths.
“The subordinates of the Food God were heroes who shook the world……”
“And the Taming Lord Balzarc is one of the proof of that.”
Lee Minhwa’s heart was pounding loudly.
The Seven Myths of the continent!
They were heroes that once saved the continent that was shrouded in darkness.
If you look at Balzarc’s character, he was considered to be the idol and king of all of the Tamers in the world of Athenae. He even had temples all around the world with Tamers serving in them.
The door suddenly opened with a bang as people rushed inside. Lee Seokhoon, the team leader of the Development Team, together with some members of the customer center entered the room. Even the president, Kang Taehoon, came along with them.
“President.”
“Don’t mind me and keep monitoring.”
The president, Kang Taehoon! He was the number one contributor in the Athenae of today! He was the one who was involved in creating the worldview of Athenae.
A laugh spilled out of Kang Taehoon’s lips.
“So that’s the User Minhyuk that has been giving the Special Users Management Team and the Development Team a hard time?”
“Yes.”
Kang Taehoon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the monitor with amazement.
“Amazing……”
“Yes?”
Team Leader Park tilted his head in confusion.
“Did he just finish feeding all of the monsters in the monster’s paradise……? How in the world did he do it……”
“He tempted the monsters with food.”
“……Hmm?”
“After he cooked for them once, he offered to cook again for the monsters who were enamored with the taste of his cooking. In return, they have to help him farm.”
“…….He has a good head on his shoulders, right?”
President Kang Taehoon grinned.
This is why Athenae users are interesting. It’s because they kept on playing the game in a totally unexpected way.
“If he was able to feed the Phoenix Lord then he will be able to receive a legendary artifact but that user already has one. He’s going to receive it a second time? How happy that user must be.”
President Kang Taehoon’s hands were almost sweating in excitement.
It was the greatest artifact that everyone wanted and admired.
Legendary!
However, the members of the Special Users Management Team together with Team Leader Park and Lee Minhwa all fell silent when they heard his words.
“……”
“……”
“What’s wrong?”
“That. Didn’t you see our report?”
“I saw.”
It was User Minhyuk’s playstyle! The Special User Management Team made a report and sent it over to the president.
“It’s a legendary artifact though…… Is food more important than that?”
President Kang Taehoon said those. However, Team Leader Park and Lee Minhwa were at a loss for words.
Then, not long after, they saw Balzarc give something to Minhyuk.
‘It’s not a frying pan, but a real legendary artifact!’
This was what went through Team Leader Park’s head.
The artifact that Balzarc handed over was an armor. The armor that was worn by the previous Food God!
The armor looked shabby and a bit worned out since it was shaped like a loose animal bone but that bone was the bone of the Black Dragon.
“Show me the armor’s information.”
Then, the information was displayed on the monitor for everyone to see.
“Kgghk……”
“Wow……”
“OMG…… It’s really awesome……!”
All of the people who looked at the information hissed in surprise. Then, Team Leader Park clicked on the Passive Skill: Physical Damage Reflection.
“Wow…… It literally bounces off of it, right?”
“And the returned damage is even twice of the received damage from the attack?”
It was an incredible skill to be attached in an artifact. But what was more surprising was…
Its defensive power.
“It’s defensive power is 1,148…..”
Currently, Minhyuk’s frying pan had a defensive power of 800. And it was the defensive power when the frying pan was used to block. However, for an armor, it would be able to protect almost all of the parts of the body with the exception of the head. This meant that almost all parts of his body had a 1,148 defense. And the reason for that would be the Armor of Immortality!
“There’s even a 100% HP and MP recovery once a day……”
None of these abilities had appeared in the country yet! It was so great that everyone was left speechless in their awe and admiration.
On the other hand, Kang Taehoon tilted his head.
“Why doesn’t User Minhyuk check his item’s information?”
Lee Minhwa hesitated as she looked at Team Leader Park.
Team Leader Park laughed helplessly.
“He’s not that interested.”
Minhyuk was filled with excitement and anticipation.
God’s Dish!
He would be able to get one hint about where one out of the five dishes or materials were.
He was actually a bit calm when he met with Balzarc. The only thing that gave him a bit of a surprise was the 100 reputation points that he received.
Then, the handsome red-haired Balzarc approached Minhyuk and handed him an armor.
“I can’t believe that you were able to satisfy and feed Chronicle. I’m grateful.”
Balzarc grinned at him. He was quite surprised when he looked at him.
‘I didn’t expect that someone will really succeed and receive the legacy of the Food God.’
He was the one that was close to the Food God! The person who had personally seen and interacted with the Food God. The Food God was really a good man except for one thing…
‘That bastard was really crazy about food!’
But, this guy is like that Food God? He looks a bit better than him.
On the other hand, Minhyuk’s heart was thumping wildly.
“Does Balzarc-nim know about the God’s Legacy Dishes?!”
“Ah. Of course I know. He left it to me. But boy, aren’t you going to check that armor?”
“I can do that later! Is that important?! Food is more important.”
“Hmm?”
Balzarc was taken aback.
That’s the Armor of Immortality that has enormous power! What do you mean by you will check it later? And that food is more important?
Then, Minhyuk with his face full of expectations, said…
“You have God’s Legacy Dish? Come to think of it, Balzarc-nim looks really handsome. No? Wow. Your red hair looks so out of this world! That reminds me, that armor is made out of bones… it looks like it would be delicious to boil…… no, no. It looks really tough and sturdy!”
Balzarc was embarrassed.
What does he mean by boiling?
His expression looks like ‘Uhm……’ personified.
‘What the hell. This guy is much worse than Allen!’
Minhyuk looked like he was begging him to hurry up and give him something to eat. You could even tell that he was saying ‘I don’t care if you’re a Taming Lord or whatever, I’ll fight you if you don’t give it to me.’ just by looking at his eyes.
Balzarc shook his head.
“There are procedures to these things.”
“……The procedures will naturally be cleared!”
“If you don’t settle down then I won’t give you anything.”
Minhyuk became as quiet as a mouse when he heard his threat. He looked like he was determined enough to not squeak or speak a word for the rest of his life.
Balzarc thought that he was such a cute kid.
“You’re amazing. I don’t know how you did it but……”
Swoooosh━
As soon as Balzarc waved his hand, the monster egg that was suspended in the middle of the monster’s paradise quickly went to where they were in a swoosh.
“Aren’t you going to check it?”
“No.”
“Check it.”
“Yes!”
Minhyuk listened to him well.
“It was legendary earlier, why did it become ??? so suddenly?”
“Because you can choose right now.”
“Eh?”
You can choose.
For a moment, Minhyuk did not understand what he meant with those words.
“Boy, I’ll send you to another monster’s paradise. In there, you will be able to see many rare and powerful monsters. You can watch them carefully and closely for a day, choose one from them and place them in the egg.”
“Oh. Just like in a Food Court. Choose what you want to eat……”
At that moment, Balzarc couldn’t believe what he heard. He was so taken aback that his expression was screaming ‘What?’.
To compare such a huge opportunity to that…
Others would have jumped up and down and told him ‘Aigoo, Thank you so much.’ if they ever heard that they would be able to choose the monster for their pet.
But what about this punk?
He was thinking of eating his pet.
This is the first time I have heard someone in this world want to eat a pet!
“It’s a pity but you can’t eat pets.”
“……How come?”
“Pets exist to give you strength and support you.”
“……”
Minhyuk was a bit disappointed. However, he also knew that he was also still not qualified to eat higher leveled monsters at his current level.
I wonder what Dragon meat tastes like? What about the king of the seas, the Kraken?
He was extremely curious about their taste but unfortunately pets could not be eaten.
“You should first pick a monster and come back. Once your back, I’ll give you the God’s Legacy Dish that my friend has left to me.”
“Is it possible to know what dish it is?”
“It’s a jokbal set.”
“……!”
Minhyuk gasped in surprise when he heard his words.
Jokbal?
What kind of existence was this dish? It was a dish that tasted light and chewy once you placed it in your mouth. And if you placed a thinly sliced jokbal on top of a lettuce, with a bit of some spicy pepper, ssamjang and garlic together with the crispy kimchi and pickled radish it would be very delicious! And if you ate dongchimi after taking a big bite out of that wrap, then you would definitely taste a refreshing flavor in your mouth. It would be even more perfect if there was a tray beside you that has a jjajangmyeon and tangsuyuk!
“Don’t think of it as just your normal jokbal.”
When Blazarc heard of the story about this dish he was shaking in fright. And telling him this… even after all that time, he was still trembling.
“Boy, you know about the story of the golden pig. Right?”
“No.”
“The golden pig in the legend was said to have lived an immortal life without killing anyone. The Food God Allen, spent half a year just to find this golden pig. And the moment he found this golden pig, he quickly cooked it to eat for himself. He even used the lava from Valkan to cook the jokbal and make it more delicious.”
“Lava?”
“Yes. Artifacts that couldn’t be melted would even be melted in that lava.”
“Wow……”
Minhyuk was in awe.
The Food God-nim tried his best to make the dish taste the same as Mom’s cooking!
He was very thankful for his hard work and at the same time he was also looking forward to it’s taste.
“Please hurry and send me there!”
Minhyuk thought that the faster he chose the monster for his monster egg, the faster he would be able to taste the first dish in God’s Legacy Dishes!
“I understand. Ah. There might be a lot of monsters in there but you can only check their strength and power twice. No matter how strong a monster was in there, if you did not cultivate them properly or they were sick then it will be a different story once they grow up. So choose carefully.”
Minhyuk soon disappeared in a flash of light.
Once he felt that the glaring light was gone, he opened his eyes slowly and carefully. A set of notifications rang as soon as he opened his eyes.
TL’s corner!!!
So, I have been getting confused over God’s dishes. I thought that he already ate 2 of them but apparently they are not part of the dishes that he needs to eat to fulfill the Food God’s Legacy. But the dishes that he ate were also called God’s dishes since they were made by the Food God. So to differentiate from the two, I will now call the dishes that he needed for his legacy quest as God’s Legacy Dishes instead of just using God’s Dishes since the other dishes made by the Food God was also called that.
PR’s corner!
A legendary armor, and he wants to boil it…
