Episode 9. Ah, life isn’t easy

“Mumuuu!”

Melissa exclaimed loudly.

Mumu rolled to the side with all his might.

Kiki Usa’s sharp spear flew in the direction she was running just a moment ago and pierced her into the ground.

“Huh… Heh…”

My stamina was at its limit.

If only I hadn’t eaten the food the old man gave me and my physical strength hadn’t increased by 5.

If the movement speed had not been increased by 9, I would never have been able to endure this much.

“Stand up quickly, mumu!”

Melissa stomped her foot. She

She herself is a mage, so her stamina is weak.

No matter how much she ate Uncle’s cooking, she shouldn’t attack Kikiusa.

With today’s cheap equipment, even a single touch will kill you right away.

All she could do was watch from behind and tell Mumu the timing for Kikiusa to throw the spear.

“What are you doing mumu! It’s dangerous!”

Mumu couldn’t run any more.

“Oh really…”

I can’t help it.

You must use magic to bring the boss’ gaze to you, even temporarily.

It’s dangerous, but Mumu needs time to recover.

The flames created on the staff gradually change into arrows.

“Here, you stupid monster!”

Fire Arrow stretched out in an instant.

Pop!

Awesome!

Kiki Usa rubs his tanned back and turns his head.

“Kyaaa-“

Melissa started running without looking back.

“Ugh… Ugh…”

Kikiusa is chasing after her.

It was much faster than before.

It must have been the result of the magic burn wound.

“Why, why did you get so fast all of a sudden?”

“Melissa! It’s dangerous! Hurry up!”

Mumu’s voice.

Melissa glanced back.

Kikiusa was standing right behind her.

“Ha ha… Ha… Uh, maybe.”

Her boss’ spear was about to be thrown at her.

There was no way to avoid it.

– Wedge!

All Melissa could do was close her eyes tightly.

Empty!

‘Huh? This sound…’

From noble mtl dot com

I slowly opened my eyes.

I can see the armor that emits a shiny luster.

Kikiusa’s spear was blocked by the shield and lost its power and fell.

“Stupid kids. Stay back.”

Shin Lemon was blocking Kikiusa’s path.

“Sister! Have you finished cooking?”

“Yes.”

“That was delicious, right?”

“Yeah…”

“Hee… Hee hee.”

Clap!

Shinlemon hurriedly lowered Helm’s face guard.

No one could see her expression.

* * *

‘Stupid guys. Because I can’t even hold on properly.’

You could lose your life if you made a mistake.

‘What kind of confidence do you have to step forward, you idiots?’

Chuck!

Put the shield in front.

Draw a sword and activate a skill to secure aggro.

‘It was delicious…’

How long has it been since you took up a shield to protect someone?

Laughter came out.

How many times have you laughed?

‘True…’

They are amazing kids.

To destroy what you promised so much in such an instant.

“Hide behind a tree. It’s dangerous. Don’t come close.”

“Yes, sister.”

“Yes, I will.”

Rushed forward.

He hit the goblin’s jaw with his shield.

Then he slashed his sword and attacked a vital point.

Several times.

“Enough! You guys attack too.”

“Can I really do that?”

“Do it. I just hate taking so long.”

Melissa and Mumu stood blankly looking at each other’s expressions, then smiled brightly and grabbed their weapons.

“Are you guys having a party?”

“Yes.”

“Invite me. My name is Sour Lemon. Due to the level difference, I won’t be able to get experience, but I’ll share the loot.”

“Really?”

“Quickly.”

“Mumu! What are you doing? Hurry up!”

“Huh? Uh uh… Gee, are you really okay with that?”

“I don’t want to go into debt. I got help, so I just want to pay it back.”

“Ah, yes…”

Shin Lemon joined Mumu’s party.

Several party buffs have been added.

Experience bonuses were useless due to the level difference, but thanks to the existence of the tank, Mumu and Melissa’s defense and stamina were partially increased.

“Come on, attack!”

The three began beating Kikiusa with a joyful heart.

* * *

After starting the business, there were more things to pay attention to than I thought.

‘Hmm… I can’t go to the village.’

This is the first claim.

It wasn’t a matter of food.

The problem was in an unexpected place.

“I’m sorry. But shouldn’t we make a living too?”

“It’s okay. I understand.”

Because the street vendors were doing so well, only flies flew to the restaurants in the village.

In addition, the village chief said that the villagers bought and ate relatively high-priced food from stalls, so if it continued like this, people might end up going bankrupt one after another.

“I’m not blaming you. I just made something delicious, so what’s wrong with it? I’m just doing this because, as the village chief, I have to think about the villagers.”

“Yes. Of course.”

‘I definitely earned a lot.’

I sold it for only one Donghwa, but I earned 7 gold.

One silver coin for ten fairy tales.

One gold coin for 100 silver coins.

One gold coin is marked as 1 gold in the inventory.

In other words, they sold 7,000 servings in just three days.

‘I sold several times more than the population of this village.’

Because no one ate just one piece of jeon.

I couldn’t even sell a lot of grilled meat.

Because I didn’t have time to go get the ingredients.

In addition, since a new kind of gamble called human running race is prevalent, the village chief must be worried.

‘I want to focus on leveling up my class rather than money right now.’

Rather, it went well.

For the time being, I decided to focus on securing ingredients and developing recipes by visiting various dungeons.

‘But before that, I want to record 10.’

Level 10 is an important point in determining the direction of growth for all classes.

This character was also level 10 when he changed his job from Apprentice Priest to Priest.

Of course, since my goal was to become a Resurrection Priest, I had nothing to worry about, but in ordinary cases, I have various worries.

The warrior class will become a shield warrior and aim for a tank, or choose a main weapon such as a sword, sword, or ax or spear.

Depending on the choice, the direction of the skill tree will also diverge, so this is a very important point.

‘The problem is that even the cook might be like that.’

Representative auxiliary class alchemists are also divided into classes that mainly produce recovery and mana potions, while those that focus on attacks and mainly create chemicals such as poison.

Blacksmiths are also divided into armor and weapons.

There are classes like Appraiser, where even if you ride a single skill tree, you get all the skills and get points, but chefs don’t know yet.

‘I have to level 10 first and look at the situation…’

Now my level is 9.

Now it’s not easy to level up with only the sword.

The repertoire has run out.

‘Ah, if only there was Kimchi or Dongtae…’

What is the point of leaving here to find sea fish?

How much is the round-trip Warp fee?

When it comes to low levels, low level areas are the most efficient.

Because cooks have yet to get a novice ticket.

‘Hmm… Should I change the route to fruit juice too?’

Pajeon, onion, leek, zucchini, potato, cabbage, and even carrots were made.

If there is a little peculiarity, the ability of zucchini jeon is different from other jeon.

‘Eggs must be related to luck.’

I’m not sure, but zucchini pancake, a dish made with eggs, is the only one with the Luck stat.

Intelligence +5, Stamina +2, Luck +2. After that, it was the same as the other previous ones with the speed enhancement attribute attached.

Zucchini pancakes made by coating well-cut zucchini with starch powder, soaking them in egg water, and then frying them.

Perhaps it was because the amount of grain used was insufficient compared to the previous one, the amount of physical strength attached was low, and instead, 2 luck was added.

I thought my strength would increase like meat because it was protein, but my luck went up.

From this, it was possible to guess that eggs, or all ‘egg’ dishes, were related to the luck stat.

‘Then what about fruits?’

Fruits are probably related to spirit or agility.

It’s still speculation.

“Let’s start with level 10.”

I went straight to the fruit shop in town.

* * *

“Ah! Are you here? Why aren’t you doing business today?”

“It’s my day off. And I won’t do business near the village from now on.”

“Why not?”

“It’s just that there are circumstances. I’ll do it again later when I get a chance.”

“It’s a pity. My kids are also obsessed with your cooking and are begging me to buy it.”

“hahahaha.”

Now, no one in the village knows me.

“So, why are you here?”

“Why did you come to the fruit shop. I came to buy fruit.”

“Really? What would you like?”

“Everything.”

“Huh? Would you like one for everyone? To taste?”

“No. Everything.”

The old man was silent for a while.

“All these fruits?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

“Ah… A new dish… No, I’m trying to make some fruit drinks.”

“Really? Then I’m welcome. Would the drink you made usually taste good? Then it will sell out again, and then you’ll come back to buy lots of fruit again? hahahaha. Come on, take them all. I’ll give them a special discount.”

“No. Regular price, please.”

‘Come to think of it, drinks don’t matter? It’s not like there’s a particularly famous drink in this town. There is no shop selling drinks.’

But business won’t go as well as before.

If you drink one drink, you will be full quickly, and since it is not a very hot area, there will not be much demand.

‘It’s just common sense, but I feel like I’m gradually becoming a merchant. Is this?’

I put the entire box of fruit I purchased into my inventory.

I did, but I couldn’t even put it in half.

‘Fruit boxes don’t overlap…’

“Wait a minute, mister. I’ll go and borrow a wagon.”

“hahahaha. Please. Slow down. Slow down.”

[A new recipe has been registered.]

[Apple Juice]

– A fruit drink made by grinding apples. It is 100% squeezed juice and the scent of fruit juice seems to whet your appetite.

– Restores 100 health and mana.

– Increases Spirit by 3.

“Oops…”

I don’t think fruit juice will have as much impact as other dishes, so I just started researching in an empty lot in front of the village.

What’s the point of carrying a large amount of fruit that you can’t even put in your inventory on a wagon to the front of the dungeon?

Thanks to that, I learned that fruit dishes raise mental stats.

The juice was completed without even a single failure.

From my point of view, I think it is a basic dish of the basics like grilled meat.

Perhaps because of this, I failed to level up in the end.

Because the apple juice was a recipe that already existed.

‘Ah, life isn’t easy.’

But don’t give up.

I decided to make the juice of every fruit in the world.

From noble mtl dot com

No, everything, including vegetable juice.

“Old man hee hee!”

Anyway, these guys kill timing.

It appears as soon as you succeed in making juice.

“Yes. Come on guys… Huh?”

Behind the two girls was a female knight whom I had never seen before.

Wearing full plate armor that boasts the lowest sales ever in Cash Shop, which was considered the worst design and few people bought it.

‘I don’t know who he is, but he must have no fashion sense.’

Seeing how he even wore a tight helmet, I think I can be 100% sure.
