Adventurers Are Obsessed With My Cooking

Episode 60. The board grows

“Is it really free?”

“Yes! But you have to eat here before you go.”

In order to prevent reselling of food, it was ordered to be eaten in front of the stalls immediately after purchase.

People who came for the first time carefully bit their mouths with a feeling of dubiousness.

No one refused to say that it was orc meat.

That’s right, the kids are eating so delicious right in front of you.

The publicity effect was right.

“Mister! Give me another Melissa!”

Melissa raised her hand with the bulgogi sauce smearing the corner of her mouth.

The menu is oak tenderloin bulgogi tacos.

This is also a rare dish.

The base level of the buff was slightly higher, perhaps because it was a dish using higher level monsters than the Carlisle Boar.

A dish that increases strength, stamina, and intelligence by 16 each.

Add 800% of the Attribute Level 80 effect to 144, and the Miracle Chef full set wear effect doubles that number again.

So, in the end, a buff dish that raised strength, stamina, and intelligence by 288 was created.

If you eat this, ordinary orcs will fall in one hit, and the time to hunt high orcs will be reduced by several times.

“Hmm? This, this taste…”

I never get tired of seeing my eyes wide open after tasting my food for the first time.

‘Is it delicious? It will be very delicious.’

I said this to myself.

“Is this really made of orc meat?”

“Yes.”

“Why is a dish made with monster meat so delicious?”

“Mine too! Please make mine quickly, summoner.”

“Well, it’s really free, right? You can’t say something else about getting money later, right?”

It was a young party, apparently in their late teens, made up entirely of local residents.

These guys are no fuss like Melissa or Mumu.

“What is this? It’s so delicious!”

“Wow, I’ve hunted hundreds of them so far, but I never thought they would be this tasty…”

“But Summoner, why are you giving this away for free?”

I laughed evilly and explained the reason.

To put it simply, it was a voice telling me to pick up some meat and chili since I ate deliciously.

“Really? Then we’ll help. They say they give you these dishes for free, so there’s nothing difficult.”

“Are you sure the orcs will give you meat if you eat this dish?”

“That’s right! Fool!”

They look older than Mumu and Melissa, but they look very innocent.

‘It’s too early to be surprised.’

After a while, voices of astonishment broke out in the order of people who inhaled an entire taco.

I barely felt the buff effect.

“Uh, how could this… Blood, the blood has doubled!”

“Cow, Summoner! This can’t be…”

“I’ve heard! There’s a summoner selling monstrous buff dishes these days… I can’t believe it…”

‘That’s who I am.’

I just laughed lightly without answering.

“Because the food you just ate is a rare dish, the buff will last for up to 16 hours. So, hunt for yourself, and bring the meat or chili tomorrow. If you bring a lot of food, I’ll give you a separate reward. Oh, if you can’t find me, you can bring it to the adventurer’s guild. I’ll leave the cooking there in advance, so come and exchange it.”

“Is that true?”

“With this level of buff, I’m sure you can catch the orc leader without the hairy man?”

“A hairy old man?”

From noble mtl dot com

“Ah, you don’t know the summoner. There is. That man is also a summoner, and he sometimes hunts with us. He’s a very nice man.”

‘A hairy old man?’

It seems that there is another eccentric person.

I just spilled it.

After a while, another party appeared behind them.

After that, one after another, adventurers approached the stall with curiosity.

There were various types of parties, from two-person parties to six-person parties.

I could truly feel how popular the orc fields were as a hunting ground.

“All food is free! Feel free to order!”

“I’ll give you one too!”

“Give me one too.”

“That’s really good. I just ate lunch… How can you stand it after seeing this?!”

“It’s such a strange and strangely craving scent.”

‘This is… This is it!’

The number of customers is increasing.

So, one by one, I was calling the number of workers at the Oak Chili Plantation one by one.

* * *

‘Is this tidy for now?’

All the parties around here seemed to have eaten tacos and left.

I barely had enough time to check out my new skill.

[Cooking Reputation: 10233]

As the cooking reputation level exceeded 10,000, it became possible to open a new skill box.

‘What will come out this time…’

The first skill was ‘Failure is the mother of success’.

A very valuable skill that allows you to find out where a dish is lacking by tasting a failed dish.

Thanks to you, I received a lot of help in developing a new menu.

‘Come out!’

The piquant second reward box just unlocked.

Which skill will come out this time?

Ttiring ding ding!

[You have selected the 10000 cooking reputation reward.]

I chose a dancing box that seemed to be begging me to open it.

Another skill was released with a splendid effect.

[You have acquired ‘Skill: Assign Assistant’.]

[Skill: Assign Assistant]

– The dishes you create are widely known beyond one region to other regions. As a result, more and more people want to learn how to cook. Don’t turn a blind eye to junior cooks who ask you to learn.

– You can appoint someone who wants to teach you as your assistant. (Currently up to 2 people – 1 additional person per 10,000 cooking reputation points)

– A person hired as an assistant goes through apprenticeship – general – proficiency stages, and eventually develops into a chef like you. From the moment you take off your apprenticeship label, your assistant’s cooking will have the same buff effects as your own. (However, limited to dishes made under your guidance.)

– Players cannot be hired as assistants.

‘Yes?’

She has all these skills.

I couldn’t help but be surprised.

Because this is one of the things I want the most right now.

‘Because there are limits to making things by yourself…’

However, players are not allowed.

That was a bit unfortunate.

‘Hmm… Certainly Moumuna and Melissa didn’t have a secondary class…’

I don’t think it would be bad to appoint them as assistants if the two of them want to.

However, you may not like it.

Helping with street vendor sales and being my official assistant would be on a completely different level.

It’s not like they don’t have any experience making food themselves.

I think a lot.

Since there is a limit on the number of people, you can’t get anyone, so I think it’d be better to find someone to go to the dungeon with our party…

I’ll have to discuss it with the party members later.

After I finished organizing the stalls, I moved towards the children who were hunting high orcs.

* * *

‘Oh, you’re doing great.’

Under Lemon’s supervision, only Mumu and Melissa were fighting the High Orcs.

No, actually, it wasn’t that different from dealing with Mumu alone.

Melissa is still in a situation where she can only use basic elemental magic.

Besides, it’s a long range class.

On the other hand, Mumu was repeatedly attacking and dodging while moving back and forth against a high orc several times his size.

‘In this state, it would be difficult to use Cyclone Slash.’

The skill that Mumu has invested the most in is Cyclone Slash.

I also took the skill level up to 10.

Thanks to this, the mole showed great efficiency in hunting, but it would not be easy to use against a strong and hard-to-fall guy like a high orc.

A situation where you have to block or avoid all attacks from a monster and even attack at the same time.

Unless you put the opponent in a perfect groggy state, you can’t use Cyclone Slash, which has a lot of movement.

‘Of course, it will be different if there is a tanker…’

Lemon is holding on tight.

I ordered that.

If you don’t learn how to fight while familiarizing yourself with the patterns of monsters, you won’t be able to take Mumu with you when the demon army invades.

Because it’s too dangerous.

‘But, can I give you some advice?’

“Mumu! Watch the orc move carefully! Don’t be afraid! Until the high orc uses a skill, there are only four attack patterns.”

The opposing orc is holding a two-handed axe.

Diagonal consecutive swings, shoulder pushes, holding the ax long and spinning like a cyclone slash, and stepping on the ground to create fear.

Two-handed ax type orcs have slow attack speed.

The preparation action is also great.

Every pattern has a preparatory action, and it is not that difficult to predict the next attack once you know that.

“If you’ve just predicted the attack, you’ve had a chance to turn right when dodging and hit it safely. If you’re scared and far back like that, the fight time is endless!”

Mumu gritted his teeth.

‘Wouldn’t that sound like nagging?’

There were many things I wanted to say, but I decided to watch.

If you improve just the part I just pointed out, the battle time will be cut in half.

Thanks to the cooking buff, it’s possible to explode once you have enough time to attack.

“Haa!”

‘That’s right!’

As I pointed out, Mumu turned to the right to avoid the orc’s shoulder shove.

The unbalanced High Orc turned its back defenselessly, and Mumu’s huge greatsword slashed the gap from top to bottom.

‘Isn’t that bad? You understood my words at once.’

I continued with another piece of advice.

Teaching was rewarding.

“Orc is mad! I’m going to activate my skill now! Be careful!”

“Yes!”

[High Orc has activated the skill ‘Quicken’.]

Suddenly, the attack speed of the orcs more than doubled.

“It’s just faster! The pattern is the same! If you anticipate, you’ll have a chance to attack!”

Mumu moved calmly.

And again, in the same pattern, they succeeded in catching the High Orcs from behind.

“What is it, mumu! You’re doing well!”

After this, the High Orc collapsed without enduring for long.

Mumu had a very proud face as if he was proud of himself.

And at the place where he fell, a thick piece of meat was emitting a soft light.

The upper level of the rarity level.

It was a sky-colored light representing the super rare grade.

“Guys.”

“Yes?”

“What are you doing. Hurry up and catch the next fish!”

“Go, meat?”

After confirming the super rare meat, I secretly used the class change.

In his hand was a mace that awakened nightmares.

‘Shall we break the head of a high oak today?’

I thought that if I cracked the head, I would get some sliced meat made by pressing the pork head meat, but that didn’t happen.

* * *

The next day, near the high orc camp.

“Wait in line!”

Mumu shouted.

“Please stand in line! If you are bringing oak meat and oak chili, go to the left! If it is your first time today, please line to the right!”

There was no uproar like this.

Close to 200 people showed up, begging for free food.

It was thanks to Taemin’s promotion to the adventurer’s guild last night.

“It’s forbidden to take out food! You have to eat everything right here!”

It wasn’t just the people who originally hunted in the Orc Garrison.

Word spread so quickly that several players lined up, even players who had bought tacos in Salem.

“You mean that special dish? Rare grade?”

“I’m sure. Information obtained for 100 gold?

“You’re giving it away for free?”

“Yes. Although there is a restriction that you have to eat everything here.”

“What does that matter! The duration of the buff is 16 hours!”

“That’s not all. The buff effect seems to be nearly twice as good as the dish I sold at Salem last time. You’ll have to try it to find out.”

Even now, one by one, the number of people standing in line was increasing.

It looked like this even in the early morning.

From far away, there was a group watching this absurd scene.

A party with a total of six people.

Although they were directing the appearance of an ordinary middle-aged party, their reality was completely different.

“What the hell is this…”

“What are you going to do now? The execution date was notified to the client today.”

“Terrible… Things are getting tangled. There are too many people watching. For now, I’m giving up.”

“What are you going to say to your clients?”

The man in the role of leader turned around and said.

“I have to ask for more money. The difficulty level has increased.”

“Are you willing to agree?”

“If we don’t, what will they do? Shall we at least complain to the lord that we’re being ripped off after we commissioned an assassination?”

“Kuh-kuh-kuh… That’s right.”

“As expected, the leader… Why don’t you double the price for something like this?”

“Are you kidding me? I should get three times as much. Not only the target, but also the party members should pay for it.”

“Khehehehe. That’s a great idea.”

At this point, they seemed to think that this job went well.

“I’m not saying I’m giving up. It’s just that the cost required for implementation has increased. Of course, the client has to pay for that cost.”

“Sure! Sound obvious.”

“Cancer! Rather, it’s not worth it. This is risking your life to move.”

Meanwhile, clients Dylan and Kim Min-cheol were drinking in broad daylight at a pub in Salem today, without even dreaming of this fact.
