Adventurers Are Obsessed With My Cooking

Episode 70. Wake up!

Returning to Pellon, I started the street vendor business as usual.

Since we didn’t know when they would surprise us, we couldn’t decide in advance how many days we would be doing business.

I took care of the assassins, but I didn’t want to suddenly cancel the business I promised yesterday.

‘I have to use all the orc meat for now.’

The orc meat purchased from the oak field was enough for business until today.

Every time I made it, it was insignificant, but it was not a waste of time because I was able to get the experience of a grotesque chef.

And above all.

[Cooking reputation has exceeded 40,000. The number of people you can hire as assistants increases by 1.]

Reputation numbers are rising at a tremendous speed.

Points were accumulating not only from people who simply bought my dishes, but also from just spreading rumors.

From noble mtl dot com

In just two days after breaking through 30,000, the figure was approaching 49,000.

‘Sura Jo…’

We don’t have an assistant yet, but there are already five people who can be appointed.

This will surely come in handy someday.

100 Servings per day.

It wasn’t hard because it was at a level that I could handle alone.

Most of all, I was making huge profits, so I didn’t even have time to work hard.

‘I’ve sold thousands of coins in one day, and that’s about it.’

If you trade until today, a total of 6 days in Felon.

Excluding taxes and other expenses, he gained a whopping 20 million gold.

‘But the tax is a scam…’

You are exempt from tax in Salem, but not here.

No matter how much the lord of Pelonia liked my cooking, it couldn’t be helped.

‘I’m going to steal millions of gold from my seat…’

Again, I was aghast at the price and tax rates in Pellon, but I had no complaints.

I am grateful to him for sending the knight leader in the first place.

Finishing the business like that, he finished making food to send to the knights, the temple, and the eastern adventurer’s guild as a token of gratitude.

Then, as we started clearing the stalls, someone came.

It was the person Laura sent.

“…You’re here?”

“Yes.”

Kim Min-chul returned to the Felon.

In the midst of being annoyed, on the one hand, I felt fortunate.

Why did I not go to Bramha where my colleagues are?

“Do you know where he is and what he is doing?”

“I went into the dorm where I was staying with my colleagues and didn’t come out. Even we don’t know what’s going on inside the dorm…”

“Ah, that’s enough information. Thank you. I listen to this before meals.”

“Oh, are you sure? I heard this is very expensive…”

“Eat.”

“Thank you.”

He is a man who works as an informant under Laura.

He’s short with brown hair, but his level probably isn’t that high.

Just because he’s an informant doesn’t mean he uses his skills to infiltrate and follow.

It is safe to say that he was just a reporter wandering around looking for issues.

I asked the man who hurriedly ate tacos and even showed tears of emotion.

“If it’s the inn he’s staying in, you mean the three-story building with a blue roof at the intersection leading from the temple to the workshop street?”

“mmm… Uh, that’s right.”

“Here, have some fruit juice.”

“This far…”

I thought as I looked at him who was moved.

‘I’m still staying there, so I’m happy to sell.’

Since I was out and the number of people was reduced, I could have gone to a slightly cheaper place.

It seems that the whole expensive building is still rented out.

Even the monthly rent costs 5,000 gold a month.

‘It’s none of my business anymore.’

“Please keep an eye on me. The street vendor business ends today, so if you have any new information, please come to my accommodation.”

“mmm

The assassins struck out.

I don’t know if Kim Min-cheol got the news and appeared here, but even if he did, there’s probably nothing he can do about it.

I wouldn’t know if he turned around and came to me with a knife.

‘Hmm…’

Perhaps that is the most threatening.

Honestly, one well-equipped player is more dangerous than five goofy assassins.

The equipment worn by the assassins was rare at best, and the only thing worth looking at was the unique staff worn by the leader, the mage.

If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have been able to handle that number by myself.

However, Kim Min-cheol is different.

He is wearing two parts of the Abyss Legendary equipment, and the rest is also wearing the highest quality equipment from the Nightmare Dungeon.

‘Well, no matter how much Tanker and Priest fight, it will never end…’

The problem is the other guys in the party.

If those guys attack me as a group, I won’t be able to withstand them.

No matter how much monstrous cooking buffs you have, someone like me will be in an instant.

Abyss Even so, they hunt the top-level bosses in Nightmare Dungeon.

It doesn’t make sense that you can’t kill me in the first place.

‘I wasn’t worried when I heard that I was alone in Salem…’

Surely, you won’t run into me as a group, will you?

If that really happens… Either me or them will have to die for the end to come.

‘Anyway, that’s a bit…’

* * *

“I want to join a guild… Is this it?”

Kim Min-cheol called the party members and started talking.

He still does not know the situation of the assassins he has hired.

All I know is that today is their second execution day.

I heard that the place of execution was Felon, so I moved early in the morning.

If it was postponed again like last time and asked for additional money, I would not forgive it.

With that in mind, I returned to the dorm after about 2 weeks, and the words that my colleagues said were mocking him as the leader.

I was angry, but I decided to hold back and listen to the story.

“You know, oppa. At this rate, we have to live here without moving. In this disgusting world.”

“So?”

“So, let’s go into a powerful guild that has entered the Abyss. It seems like we have to try for a hundred days to come up with no answer, but that seems to be several times more likely, right?”

“What do other people think? Taehyuk, tell me.”

“Me? I agree with Suyeon at first. To be honest, I don’t have the money to raise my talents right away, and it’s not easy to find new members.”

Mincheol Kim washed his face dry and asked for opinions from other members.

The reddened face reminded me of a demon.

“Hye-soo.”

“I… I think it’s a good idea too. Now I don’t have much money left…”

“You can earn money right away when you go back to the dungeon!”

When the money topic came up, Kim Min-cheol screamed.

Cha Soo-yeon’s voice in response also became sharper.

“But you’re not going!”

“Cha Soo-yeon!”

“Oh, stop screaming!”

Bang!

It was then.

Park Myung-shik, who hadn’t said anything in the meantime, hit the table hard.

The momentary silence.

All eyes turned to him.

Everyone was dumbfounded when a person who was usually very quiet suddenly made a sudden start.

“Please stop! How long are you going to fight!?”

“What, Myeong-sik?”

“Myungsik’s older brother…?”

“Hyung? Have you been drinking? You can’t drink, right?”

Myeong-sik’s whole body boiled as he watched the party members’ reactions.

‘Why is he like that again?’

‘Is that oppa crazy?’

‘Isn’t hyung a character like that?’

He felt as though he was being ignored, ridiculed.

Then it comes to mind.

What Jeon Tae-min said in the oak field.

The words that had been bothering him for the past few days were running around in his head again.

– Wake up you bastard! If you were friends with Min-cheol and had a sense of camaraderie, you should have made him come to his senses by beating him up!

‘I’m… Min-chul’s friend, and I’m a member of this party too. Jeon Taemin What do you know? How much do you know? Tell me that kind of thing…’

Myungsik Park’s chin was filled with strength.

Turning away from the uncomfortable gaze toward him, I spoke out for the first time.

“Don’t you guys have any pride!? Taemin, that guy eats well and lives well even when he goes out to parties… What the hell are we doing! How long are we going to just fight among ourselves! Taemin… Taemin is They don’t even care about us anymore…”

I want to come out stronger, but his original personality doesn’t allow it.

Kim Min-cheol argued and listened to him who kept shrinking the more he spoke.

“Hey! Myungsik Park! Are you crazy? I told you not to talk about that bastard in front of me! Huh!?”

Kim Min-cheol jumped up from his seat and grabbed Park Myung-sik by the collar.

However, Park Myung-shik was clearly different from the usual him.

He shook Kim Min-cheol’s arm around his neck and said again.

“You… You’re the biggest problem, Kim Min-cheol! Did you think I wouldn’t know if you moved alone? How… No matter how much your pride hurts. How could you think of killing Tae-min!”

“…That, that… How do you…”

“……”

Kim Min-chul’s fingertips, which had fallen from Park Myung-sik’s collar, trembled.

Park Myung-shik bit his lip and bowed his head like a criminal.

It was Cha Soo-yeon who gave the voice.

“Well, what do you mean? You tried to kill Taemin oppa? Mincheol oppa?”

“Ah, are you kidding? Myeongsik-hyung! Are you kidding? This hyung drank something he wasn’t used to and must be drunk.”

Yoo Hye-soo, as usual, only looked at people.

It was Cha Soo-yeon who raised her voice again this time.

“Tell me Mincheol oppa! Are you serious? Could it be that you were like that foreigner who came to get revenge on Taemin oppa last time?”

“……”

Neither Kim Min-cheol nor Park Myung-sik opened their mouths for a while.

“Ah, but that’s not it. Killing people. Even if there are no cops here, that’s a real crime, right?”

Crime.

Those words squeezed Kim Min-cheol’s heart.

His eyebrows were twisted endlessly.

“Say something, brothers!”

At Soo-yeon’s urging, Myeong-shik opened his mouth again.

“Stop it now, Mincheol-ah…”

“……”

“Ah, what’s wrong with Myungsik oppa? It’s like the real thing when you say that… No matter how unlucky Taemin oppa is… Killing him… I can’t believe it…”

Kim Min-chul put his trembling hand to his face.

He slowly brushed back his hair, which had been uncut for a long time and had fallen down in front of his face.

At the same time, the corners of his mouth were torn.

“hahahahaha. Myungsik’s acting is no joke? Hey, have you been drinking? This bastard is saying who kills who? Am I crazy?”

He trembled with a smile on his face.

However, the eyes looking at Myungsik were colder than ever.

“Ah, what is it? I was scared. Myeong-shik’s acting was great. Was this a hidden camera?”

Myeong-sik laughed bitterly.

“Ah… That, yes…”

I managed to hide the trembling of his tightly clenched hands behind his body.

But it was all futile.

Kung! Thud! Thud!

Suddenly, someone knocked hard on the door of the inn.

I can hear the footsteps of dozens of people.

It was the distinctive metal sound of sheet metal boots.

And the voice that followed.

“I came from the Felon City Guard! Is Minchul Kim summoned inside! Open the door! If you don’t open it quickly, I’ll break it down and enter!”
