Adventurers Are Obsessed With My Cooking

Episode 94. Chef Training Plan

“Auction! The first Abyss Dungeon Legendary item, the Demon Grinder, was finally sold to person 1 for 1.13 Billion gold!”

“Ohh!”

“Wow!”

Eventually, the Demon Grinder came into my hands.

However, the taste was bitter.

‘1.1 Billion… f*ck my money.’

I was prepared, but I never thought it would exceed 1 billion.

Nothing else, that’s the least popular item in the Abyss Legendary series.

‘Isn’t someone kidding me?’

I inadvertently looked around.

I wonder if someone is looking at me and giving me a sinister look.

To find out if people are cheering for getting the hukou right.

‘If it’s really like that, I won’t show it sloppily, but…’

Ha, a sigh comes out.

Isn’t that a funny story?

Since when did melee maces become so popular?

‘No way…?’

Starting with Everett, various people participated in the bid.

Most of them were players.

‘Did you notice?’

Demon Crusher.

The biggest strength of that weapon is that the reduced intelligence level is converted into strength.

This is a rare option that is rarely found in the game.

How much intelligence does a mediocre character have to be high to find such an option?

That’s right.

It’s a meaningless option, at least until recently, everyone would have thought that.

Me too.

But things have changed now.

Buff dish I made.

Its existence made the value of that weapon skyrocket.

Jeon, rice bowl, tacos, and recently made sweet and sour pork.

Dishes made with meat and vegetables always had strength and intelligence stats added at the same time.

In addition, thanks to the heavily invested characteristics, for example, the a la carte dish sold at the continental conference hall during the day, the figure exceeded 500.

In other words, the moment you hold the Demon Grinder in your hand, you can secure more than 1000 Strength by consuming one dish.

‘It’s just crazy…’

Basically, you can understand that the damage calculation method in this game is the character’s basic attack power + weapon attack power – the enemy’s defense power.

Of course, it gets a lot more complicated if you consider the attack power multiplier or attribute resistance values set differently for each skill, but the basics are like this.

And the character’s basic attack power is only affected by the stat value.

Since it is even a multiplication operation, the higher the stat value is, the explosively increases the basic attack power.

Roughly speaking, if the base attack power is 100 when the strength is 100, the base attack power is 2500 instead of 500 when the strength is 500, and so on.

What if 1000? That’s 10,000, of course.

That’s why the price of equipment with even a little more stats increases endlessly, and people are so enthusiastic about my buff dish that suddenly appeared.

It’s a one-dish dish with twice the buff effect compared to regular dishes, but it was sold at a price a hundred times higher for the same reason.

‘So it’s only natural that the price of the Demon Grinder is getting higher…’

But you noticed this already?

It’s natural since it’s me, it’s my own buff dish, but I can’t stop admiring the other players’ heads.

Without the premise of always consuming my buff dishes, the Demon Grinder wouldn’t be a very good weapon.

‘It’s not common for a Priest with a strong body like me.’

Anyway, it was a headache.

It is a great pleasure to have secured the legendary weapon, but it is already difficult to pay for a debt of nearly 1.5 Billion in how long.

‘Let’s think positively.’

If I had the Devil Grinder and Buff Cooking, I should be able to deal with one person’s share.

In addition to the synergistic effect associated with Lemon’s Secret Chain, various buffs are also available.

‘Abyss… This is enough, right?’

Of course, there is still a long way to go.

Not to mention the children’s level, it’s still a long way for Lemon to reach level 80.

Besides, you have to fill the empty seats in the party with two colleagues.

‘Still… I can see the outline, right?’

It’s still lacking, but if our party continues to grow smoothly like this, a powerful combination that can’t be compared to the previous party will be completed.

‘As expected, I… Haven’t given up yet.’

I tried not to do that, but I am confident that I am considering efficiency again.

I am trying to enter the Nightmare Dungeon again and try to enter the Abyss where I failed.

It’s not like I’m doing this simply because I’m a natural efficiency buff.

No matter how much I try to avoid it, in the end I want to go back.

Home…

Late night. Hotel.

“Why?”

I went into my room and was about to sleep, but Lemon gently grabbed my top from behind.

“Really okay? 100 Million is a lot of money, but isn’t it close to 1.5 Billion?”

After a noisy dinner, everyone spread out to go to bed.

It has been a very long day.

I was also under a lot of stress.

The biggest cause is, of course, the loan amounting to 1.5 Billion that will have to be repaid in the future.

Debt.

“I was wondering what the hell they were thinking… I wonder if it’s okay to get such expensive equipment.”

“Never mind. We’re allies now.”

“How is that… I’m more concerned because he’s a colleague.”

Lemon’s only equipment was the Abyss Unique Shield he bought for him.

Of course, the price is in the tens of millions, but it is less than 5% of my total debt.

From noble mtl dot com

“I should have bought it anyway. No matter how many buffs you have, you need them to enter Nightmare Dungeon with the kids. And since you’re a tank with a Sacrifice chain, your strength is the most important thing in our party. Even without a healer.”

“But… I could just earn it slowly and buy it.”

“At some age. I don’t know if it’s normal, but now I have to prepare in advance for the demons to come in soon.”

“……”

“Why? Is it a burden?”

“Of course not.”

I smile,

“You just have to work hard to pay it off. I don’t think it’s difficult. That’s what I did. It’s much better to be safe even if you become a debtor and not die even if you go into a dungeon.”

“You don’t necessarily have to go back to the dangerous dungeon, do you? He’s still earning enough… That… Well.”

“Is that so? I’ve said it before, but no matter how much money you make selling food, you have no choice but to enter the dungeon. You and I both want to return home eventually, and even if we give up, we must do our duty as residents of this world. It is said that in the end, if you want to live without danger, you must not step out of the safe Salem… How long will that be possible?”

“So… You went into debt and bought our gear? Don’t die?”

“Huh? Well… That’s it. But, didn’t you guys just buy it for me? In the end, it’s like I owed money to buy my weapon.”

Out of 1.5 Billion, the cost of the demon grinder alone is over 1.1 Billion.

Already in my head, children’s equipment is treated like a bonus.

“Lemon, it’s because you owe someone and you’re not used to that.”

“Have you ever been in debt?”

“Me? Well… I’ve never borrowed money…”

“What is it? Even though you are the same.”

Laughter broke out.

“Nothing to worry about. Do you know how much my dish sold for today? A whopping 10 million gold for a single dish. If you think about that, the debt will be paid off soon. And this is my debt. Lemon, you don’t have to worry about me. Not even my wife.”

“Nu, who is the uncle’s wife!”

“That’s why, because it’s not, you’re saying don’t make that face. You idiot.”

“Hmph.”

“But why do you suck? Do you want to be my wife?”

“No!”

Apparently, I have to work harder to pay off my debt.

Because there are co-workers by my side who care about my business like this.

“Bappa! Mama! Don’t fight!”

“Mister! Sister! Are you fighting?”

“Oh no…”

“Your face is very red… Where does it hurt?”

“Lina, Mama is scratching Daddy’s bag. What should I do?”

“Mamma!”

“No, no!”

The children ran into the living room after hearing the scuffle.

Lemon’s face was getting redder before he knew it.

“Daesan hyung, are you here right away?”

“How did the meeting go? Did any of the lords sign a contract with our guild?”

“Hyung. The executives told me to contact you when you come. Shall I call them now?”

Kang Dae-san participated in the continental conference and auction, and then returned to Fallon’s hideout.

While the guild members waiting on the first floor of the hideout rushed out, he kept his poker face as always.

“I’m planning to hold a meeting of executives tomorrow afternoon, so contact the executives tomorrow morning.”

“Yes!”

“And… Where are they now?”

“Who are you? Ah, the new 4 members?”

“No. Not those guys. I’m talking about the chef.”

“Ah! They made bread in the hideout kitchen two hours ago and went back to the dorm.”

“Are you successful?”

“No. Today is also a failure. Everyone can’t get out of level 1. Everyone is new to cooking, so they have to learn how to use the stove…”

Kang Dae-san pondered for a while before opening his mouth.

“Ask all the cooks to come now.”

“Yes? Now? It’s almost 12 o’clock already.”

“It’s important. Then contact Laura Douglas of Weekly Douglas. I said we’d like to meet. You can just say you want to buy information. They told you to decide the place and time there… But I’d like to meet you sometime tomorrow.”

“Ah, yes!”

Miracle Chef full set.

You should test the item you bought at an auction for 500 million won right away.

And the person who submitted the cookware to the auction today.

I needed information about that person.

He must be a cook too.

‘If it were Laura Douglas, she would have access to that information.’

Information about the person who submitted the item to the auction is kept strictly confidential.

It’s almost impossible to dig up information from Lucky Land, which was once responsible for most of the game’s income.

However, Laura Douglas, who was resourceful enough to send several reporters to the Continental Congress, would have secured some means that people could not have imagined.

‘Cook…’

From the beginning, I had no intention of being dragged around by a guy named Jeon Tae-min.

Chef.

It’s not a secondary class that people would have chosen based on the image so far, but now the number of players who have crossed over to this world ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

If you really want to find it, you should be able to find at least a few hundred people.

Even now, we’ve already secured three people.

If you can’t attract a guy named Jeon Tae-min, who has realized the value of cooking and has grown as much as his head grows, you can grow him here from the beginning and make him a guild member.

That was Daesan Kang, the master of Demon Slash, thinking.

We also secured the full set of Miracle Chef.

Now you just need to find a cook and grow it.

It is better to wander in the dungeon attack party as well as in this world.

That way you can control it as you like.

‘It’s really not normal…’

He looked at the information on the excellent high oak sirloin sweet and sour pork he had purchased today in his inventory.

The more I looked at it, the crazy option it was.

If used properly, it seemed that the party’s combat ability could be increased by nearly double.

However, in order to do so, all party members must consume this food.

‘It’s foolish to buy and eat something like this every day. If it’s a proper guild, it should be produced directly within the guild.’
