Adventurers Are Obsessed With My Cooking

Episode 11. What is this old man?

The man smiles strangely while messing with the children.

Laughing with that scary face makes me feel even more terrified.

‘What the hell is that person.’

Previously, he took fruit from children at will, but now he is stroking it at will.

With that gigantic body, with that gigantic hand.

Small and cute girls.

Is he really a good person like the children say?

‘I don’t think it’s that scary, but…’

Fortunately, the children aren’t afraid of him at all.

But what if the reason is through brainwashing?

In the first place, it makes no sense that two beginners who are not even level 10 without tanks or heals are hunting hobgoblins.

‘No way…’

These are the kind kids who gave me delicious green onion pancakes for free.

Could it be that he is being exploited for his kind heart?

Being tricked by that man and going in and out of dangerous dungeons every day… Then it’s really a big deal.

“Hey, driver over there? What are you doing at the village gate? Is there anything out there?”

I turned my head.

A person who appears to be a villager is looking at me like a very strange person.

“Hmm… Nothing.”

“It’s a really nice armor. What did you come to our village for? Ah! Did you hear the rumors?”

“Hmm? Rumors?”

“Yes! The chef who recently came to our village is so good that rumors are circulating in other villages nearby. Have you ever heard of Pajeon?”

“Ah…”

“The taste is really excellent. Be sure to try it before you leave town. It’s a bit pricey, but it’s worth the money.”

‘Even the villagers reacted like this. What the hell is that man?’

Residents showing this kind of reaction won’t happen unless a great achievement is made in that village.

Defeat a very troublesome monster to protect the village, or perform a huge number of requests to be recognized for your contribution.

‘Even so, villagers don’t advertise their private shops that way.’

Pajeon was definitely delicious.

Surprisingly enough.

‘It’s not because I’m hungry, but it’s so delicious that even the locals fall in love with it? But the buff effect…’

To say it was a great dish, the buff effect was insignificant.

Although the increase in movement speed was surprising, the numbers were nothing special.

It’s not running out right now, but even the regular cash dishes I ate had all stats +5 by default, and all stats +30 when the rarity went up to 10 or even legendary.

Rumbling.

‘Damn it. I thought about something to eat, but I’m hungry again…!?’

“Ha-ha-ha…Then take a look. I’ll be on my way. Driver.”

It was written on the face of the villager that he had not heard anything.

In other words, he said he heard everything but pretended not to know.

‘Huh… It’s embarrassing… But I’m glad I’m wearing a helmet.’

His face was burning.

I need to complete the quest report and receive the reward first.

‘No matter how expensive it is, that money will be enough.’

I’m sick of the dry food.

I plan to buy as many green onion as possible.

If they say no, even if it means paying a little more.

‘Just try to rip it off.’

* * *

Confirmed the fruit information received from the children.

[Kikiusa Forest Fruit]

– A rare fruit that grows only in the Kikiusa Forest. It is very tasty and sought after, but only the goblin Kikiusa knows where the fruit is found.

– When Kikiusa is defeated, it has a very low chance of dropping.

– Effect: Recovers 500 mana. Doubles mana regeneration rate for 1 hour.

‘I’m sure with this.’

It has become clear that fruit dishes are highly correlated with the mind.

‘If I knew it was like this, I wouldn’t eat it and save it…’

In the meantime, I came across a lot of fruits and rare fruits while going around various dungeons.

However, it was eaten during the Visible Jok Clan battle.

This is because, like this fruit, you can get a slight buff when you take it. Of course, the rarer it is, the better the effect.

‘Ha… That’s a shame.’

If I had known that cooking would increase the effect, I should have collected them one by one.

But, what can I do?

You should be careful from now on.

“Then, shall we make a new menu soon?”

“Wow!”

“Can I watch from the side? I’ll be quiet.”

“Aren’t you tired? You said you went to a dungeon.”

“It’s not hard. Staying here and getting something to eat will make you recover faster. Giggling.”

These guys are really strong.

“Hmm… It’s a fruit juice, so I don’t really need the ingredients… If there’s a problem.”

There was a problem.

There are only three fruits.

The regular fruit juices made so far have been successful without failure.

However, the odds of this happening with the Kikiusa fruit are slim.

Because this is the first time I’ve used a rare item for cooking.

‘I have to succeed in this to become a chef level 10.’

There is a high probability that the Kikiusa fruit juice recipe does not exist.

If you look at the description of the fruit, it says that it can only be harvested with a very low chance after Kikiusa is defeated.

Then my first challenge is more likely to fail.

‘It’s a precious fruit. You absolutely have to succeed in one attempt… At least in two.’

I thought hard about how to increase the probability of success in cooking.

As a result, one conclusion was reached.

‘You have to raise your luck. And all the blessings called blessings come and go.’

Fortunately, Resurrection Priests have a special buff that increases luck.

Exactly Gloria!

[Skill: Gloria]

– Hymn to Glory. Sing the glory of God.

– When the skill is activated, the glory of the god descends on the whole body and receives various additional effects. All party members apply.

– The effect of the skill increases according to the number of party members.

– Increases Luck by 10. The effect is multiplied by the number of nearby party members. (Example: Increases by 60 for a party of 6)

‘I never thought the day would come when I would use it this way.’

The correlation between luck and the probability of production success has not yet been clarified.

There was a story that someone did an experiment and there was no difference, and there was also a story that was the opposite.

But just like looking for superstition when anxious, Gloria always used this skill beforehand whenever she enhanced her item probability.

Because of this, many people made assistant priests exclusively for Gloria.

Raising a Resurrection Priest is tough, so I didn’t raise it that far and only learned Gloria, which was a step ahead in the skill tree, and then stopped nurturing.

Of course, it’s all superstition.

But do you know if the gods will pity the hearts of those who try to catch even a straw and bring them good luck?

Collective intelligence, if so many people tried it, it might be a really true story.

Besides, if neither side is convinced, you should bet on the side that writes and plays first.

There is already a skill, but that’s a difficult task.

It’s not like you have to grow it from scratch now.

So we gathered like this.

“Is it true that they give green onion for free?”

“Yes. All you have to do is stand here.”

I joined Mumu’s party.

The party is full with a total of 6 people.

Me, Mumu and Melissa.

There is a suspicious female knight and two novice adventurers called from the village.

The female female lady appeared idly and stood behind her, as if her errands in the village were over.

“Then I’ll explain from now on. Everyone, please wait here. We’re using the party to increase the odds of cooking success even a little bit, so you just have to stand still.”

“Yes!”

“I will.”

“……”

“If we can eat green onion for free, we’ll do anything.”

I smiled happily and started to activate the buff.

* * *

The scary-looking man started doing strange things.

Without asking me, he joined the party at will, and even attracted two villagers.

‘What are you trying to do? You say increase your cooking odds? Over there, uncle! Don’t do anything strange and ask me to sell my money!’

A large man wearing a white cooking uniform, a cooking hat, and even an apron, instantly transformed into a priest outfit using class switching.

‘Your job was a Priest… Your level is awesome! 8… 84?’

I was surprised.

His level, which was marked as 9 in the party window, rose instantly.

Level 9 was the level of the chef class.

‘But that’s true…’

What level is 84 each?

Doesn’t that mean you’ve been to the Abyss as well?

In this game, if you don’t clear the Abyss entrance quest, the level won’t go up from 80 anymore.

‘Alternatively…’

Why is someone with such a high level cooking in a beginner village like this?

Cooking was one of the least popular jobs.

“Then let’s begin.”

He immediately activated the buff.

The first is Priest’s most common and most effective buff.

It was a blessing from God.

‘But is this really helpful for cooking?’

[The skill ‘God’s Blessing Lv. 10’ Has been applied to all party members.]

‘Jeon Tae-min… Huh? Wait for a sec! Then he must have known my name. He didn’t want to know…’

God’s Blessing buff’s unique golden glow and fresh wind warmly wraps the whole body.

A feeling that the whole body is lightly floating.

It was a priest’s buff that I tasted after a month.

[Strength and intellect increase significantly.]

[Stamina and agility increase significantly.]

[The magic recovery speed is greatly increased.]

[Health recovery speed is greatly increased.]

[The effect of recovery skills and recovery potions is greatly increased.]

Familiar buff effects went up sequentially.

‘What buff are you going to use next… Huh?’

It was strange.

The message for adding the buff effect in the system window continued to go up without stopping.

[Your movement speed is greatly increased.]

[Damage received from enemies is greatly reduced.]

[Maximum HP is greatly increased.]

[Maximum mana is greatly increased.]

‘What is it? What what what what What is all this?’

It’s not over yet.

[Damage is greatly increased when attacking undead and demon type enemies.]

[The effect of the mana potion you take is greatly increased.]

[If you receive a protection skill, the duration increases and the mana required to maintain it decreases.]

[When HP drops below 10%, HP and mana are restored only once.]

‘Oh… Is it over?’

I’ve never received such an enormous amount of buffs.

Our party… No, the priest’s blessing in the past party had no such effect…

‘What the hell… What the hell is that guy doing?’

After opening the status information window and checking the numbers, I was shocked again.

The numbers that went up were beyond imagination.
