Adventurers Are Obsessed With My Cooking

Episode 2. No money

No money.

Every time I had money, I screwed up all the characteristics.

Even then, if there was money left over, I had to buy a potion.

Right now, my inventory is full of potions.

Because I was planning to come out of the Abyss Dungeon after being locked up for a few days.

“Who knew. Yaksha couldn’t catch it and flew away.”

The first gate of the Abyss entry quest was so easy that it could be broken with one hand.

At least, that was the way we were treated.

‘We’re horny.’

Anyway, I was determined to clear the gates one after the other and proceed to the first Abyss dungeon.

Because of that, I have almost no money left in my hands.

Because I spent all the money I had left on buying potions.

‘Shouldn’t I have lost my pride and borrowed a little…’

When I rode the warp, my pockets were empty.

I had no choice but to find a general store.

It’s a huge loss, but I have to sell this potion back so I can eat and sleep.

“Doesn’t handle it?”

“Of course. There is no demand for such advanced potions. In this small town.”

Oh, yes.

This is the land of beginnings.

Only the original inhabitants of this world roam the surrounding dungeons.

Players brought here like me have already left for the next level dungeon.

It’s already been six months.

I’m sure no one here buys and drinks such a high-quality potion.

It’s time to save a penny or two and adjust your equipment.

“Well, I’d buy it for half the price.”

“Yes? Half price?”

“If you don’t like it, quit.”

Oh f*ck.

“Then I’ll only sell ten.”

I needed money to eat and sleep all day, so I had no choice.

‘Shouldn’t I have brought Hye-soo some leftover dry food for dungeons?’

She shook her head.

I keep reminding myself of what kind of attachment I have to those who kicked me out.

I hate myself.

I walked out of the grocery store grumbling.

From now on, what should I do to live and eat?

‘I won’t starve to death…’

Among the Resurrection Priests, I am a physical attack type Priest who invested in strength, agility and stamina.

Because it was a Resurrection Shuttle, there was no need to invest in intelligence and mental power.

Because there was a separate main healer.

Thanks to that, if it’s a low difficulty dungeon, you’ll probably be able to clear it alone.

But doing it alone is not efficient at all.

‘It must be no different from labor.’

The hunting speed must be very slow.

It’s easy to do everything from recovery to buff dealing by yourself, even when it’s a game, but now that it’s become a reality, it’s not something worth doing at all.

“Haa…”

Class change is impossible as the cash shop has disappeared.

But joining another party is just a repetition of the same thing as yesterday.

Eventually you will run into the same problem.

‘Should I give up on returning to Earth…’

There are people like that.

People who choose non-mainstream classes that are not very helpful to the party.

Such people want to join the party, but no one accepts them.

So, from the beginning, I gave up on returning and chose to live as a resident of this world.

Among the dogs, there may be some people, but most of them must have made a choice.

‘f*ck. This is just my story…’

I didn’t feel it because there was a party.

That I am no different from them.

But if you realize that now, nothing will change.

Anyway!

Whether it’s another party or a resident of this world, nothing happens without money.

I need a stable income.

‘Is there anything worthwhile in the inventory…’

Opened the inventory.

There was nothing else besides the potion.

Because I disposed of all of them because I was raising the characteristics.

Cash items purchased in the past, and rare items obtained from dungeon bosses.

‘Damn it…’

At least the cash items were not to be sold.

The price has risen more than a hundredfold in just six months.

In fact, I knew that would be the case.

However, I just chose to raise my attributes to help the party even a little.

‘Does regret make any difference?’

This time, I opened an inventory dedicated to cash items.

All that was left were the cooking clothes and pots and other kitchen tools that had not been taken out for a long time.

Cash items exclusively for chefs selected as subclasses.

No one will buy this just because it’s for sale.

‘A cook… I tried once.’

– Cooking? Inside a dungeon? You have to bring a lot of materials and stuff to do that. There is a preservation diet, do you need it? I think it would be better to bring at least one more potion to that space.

– That’s right. The cook is very greedy. So no one chooses.

– When it comes to cooking, cash items are much better, and when you turn the random box, a lot of useless dishes pour out. At the point of giving a dish with a random box, the cook is a trash job.

So, a class chef where no one makes a choice.

It was very cumbersome to make, but it had no choice but to be president because it was less effective than cash items.

I also didn’t choose out of necessity.

I didn’t even choose it because it looked interesting.

I just heard that a full set of chef class cash items was given away for free as an event, so I chose it for the purpose of collecting costumes as a deceased person.

There is no other reason.

I had no intention of working hard.

‘By the way, the cash shop is gone now, right? There are no random boxes where dishes are poured out.’

Suddenly, I had a strange idea.

Although the effect is weak, it definitely has a buff effect on homemade dishes.

Unlike dungeon preservation food sold in stores, it is different from simply satisfying hunger and satiety.

There will definitely be demand.

‘Hmm… This might work…’

It has already been six months since the players were forcibly brought to this world.

The pile of cash dishes in their inventory must have already been exhausted.

‘Try it?’

Gulp. I involuntarily swallowed dry saliva.

‘It’s all grilled.’

Chef Level 1

All that was written was grilled meat, and that was the most basic grill.

It was embarrassing to even call it cooking, so it was literally the basis of the basics, just catch it and roast it.

I suddenly began to doubt the path of the chef, but I did not want to give up easily.

‘I have nothing to do anyway.’

I went straight to the field.

* * *

Puck!

“Ki-ing…”

I mercilessly struck the heads of the animals that roamed the fields.

Somehow, since I had a level, I went to the underworld in one shot.

‘There is no law telling you to starve to death.’

I wondered if I should buy meat, but I don’t think it’s necessary.

What is spread out in front of you is meat without an owner.

‘This should be enough.’

Utilizing the blood draining and slaughter skills, only meat was put in the inventory.

‘Resurrection is blocked, but this is an instant again.’

There was no need to hang animal carcasses from trees, nor the need to go through the trouble of skinning them.

When the skill was activated, a chunk of processed meat appeared.

‘I’ll just sell all the potions.’

The potion takes up a lot of space, so there is not much meat in it.

I finished the work in moderation and started preparing the dish right away.

Take out a furnace and various tools that do not turn off permanently from the cache item inventory.

There was even something like this.

[Savory infinite salt shaker]

– This is a salt container where the finest salt, which is rich in minerals and gives a fantastic taste, continues to come out after use.

[Infinite whole pepper grinder that money can’t buy]

– It is a grinder that grinds peppercorns with a rich aroma that cannot be bought with money.

[Healthy infinite sugar case without worrying about diabetes]

– It is a case that does not decrease even if you use and use sweet sugar that you do not gain weight no matter how much you eat and you do not have to worry about diabetes.

In addition to this, there were various seasonings.

All were permanent kits that could be used indefinitely.

Of course, you can’t take it out and resell it, but you could call it a scam.

‘You just gave it away. Did someone make a claim to the operators for pouring food out of the random box?’

Thanks to this, I don’t have to worry about seasonings.

It is only natural that the dish will be completed deliciously, but only the most important question remains.

I decided to use chicken first.

He looked the most comfortable.

‘It’s seasoned well, undercooked or burned, but it’s the end if you hold it.’

But it wasn’t always easy.

[Failed to cook.]

– All of the ingredients were burned and there was nothing left to eat.

[Failed to cook.]

– It’s a situation where you can’t eat it because you use too much salt.

‘I hate this…’

It was my 3rd year on my own.

Even if I don’t have the confidence to satisfy anyone, I don’t remember making a dish that people couldn’t eat.

But why is it failing like this?

After much thought, I decided to try everything possible.

I took out the cooking clothes from my inventory and changed them, put on a chef’s hat, and even put on an apron.

Then a message window popped up in front of me.

[You have equipped the Miracle Chef full set. The chance of success in cooking is greatly increased.]

[Depending on the chef level, the taste and effect of the dishes you cook will increase.]

[The chance of succeeding in developing a new recipe has increased significantly. Create your own wonderful cuisine that has never existed.]

‘What is it? Surely there was no message like this when I wore it before?’

It was strange.

I definitely remember wearing a full set before.

But at the time, this effect didn’t exist at all.

‘There is no such information in the item information…’

Then there is only one conclusion.

‘Anyway, developers…’

Since no one is a cook, it seems that the submarine patch was secretly carried out.

‘I have to tell you this, at least one more person is stupid.’

Anyway, I don’t like it.

How many other classes suffered from the submarine patch secretly carried out by them.

To say the least, my mouth hurts.

‘Anyway, thanks to that, I’ll be more comfortable.’

[The grilled whole chicken was a great success.]

“How cool! From the beginning?”

[Prestige Grilled Whole Chicken]

– This is a premium grilled whole chicken seasoned with salt. Just smelling it makes your mouth water.

– Effect: Strength +2 (duration 1 hour)

– This is a luxury dish. Effect lasts ten times longer.

[The chef class level has increased.]

‘This works.’

This is definitely money.

I was so sure.
