Adventurers Are Obsessed With My Cooking

Episode 29. You’re weird

‘Do you mean that it overlaps as many as the number of connected party members?’

Quadrupled recovery per tick.

Even an idiot would know that it was because the current number of party members was four.

(-22)

(+1332)

(+1332)

(-22)

(+1332)

“Huh?”

But midway through, my stamina started to decrease.

Of course, the amount of recovery was so great that it was quickly offset, but it was the same for me, Mumu, and Melissa.

‘This can’t be…’

Come to think of it, yes.

Just as I have characteristics, the knights will also have synergy characteristics.

“Mr. Lemon! Can you tell me what the secret chain properties are?”

“Features?”

“Yes. It’s a synergistic trait. One of the traits is the shoulder emoticon.”

“Can’t we catch this guy first?”

“Ah… That’s it too. Guys! Kill!”

“Old stories!”

“He was still hitting hard.”

I’m the kind of person who can’t stand being curious.

I was doing it on purpose to help the children build experiences, but now I think I need to put all my energy into it.

Puck – Pupper puck!

Puck puck puck! Puck puck puck!

“What are you doing, what are you doing? Other than dealing? Why is Melissa using magic?”

“Hey… What’s wrong with your attack speed?”

“I feel sorry for the goblins…”

These guys are just staring blankly at me instead of doing deals.

I sighed and said.

“The level is high.”

“Anyway, that’s how it is! What kind of priest can’t you see a stick wielding it!”

“Mumuya. If you also invest in agility, this will happen.”

“……”

“Now, stop chatting and kill him!”

At this point, just like Melissa said, I felt sorry for the goblin shaman master shaman.

It’s name is a boss-level monster.

He was beaten very one-sidedly, and then became a cold corpse after not being able to endure it for long.

[You have defeated the Goblin Shaman Grand Shaman.]

“Mr. Lemon! Quickly explain the skill characteristics.”

“Yeah… Wait a minute.”

She manipulated the system for a while and then began to explain.

“Distribution of pain. If the synergy is activated after taking this attribute, 30% of the damage I receive from the Sacrifice Chain skill is reduced. Instead, it says that 50% of the reduced damage is divided equally among the connected party members. There is.”

“As expected…”

“Did this make you sick?”

“No. Not at all.”

“It didn’t hurt at all, sister.”

“I didn’t even feel it. Rather, I was full because of Mr. Heel.”

Melissa pounded her own stomach.

“Stupid.”

“I’m not stupid!”

“Then glutton.”

“I’m not even a glutton!”

While the two girls were fighting again, I strode towards Miss Lemon.

“What, what, all of a sudden?”

Then he put his hands on both of her shoulders.

The texture of the hard plate armor is transmitted as it is.

“Lemon! Did you see the synergy effect earlier? Did you see my healing power!”

“Leave this… What are you doing…”

“That’s more than 1,000! My healing amount! And the amount of healing that lasts every second is over 1300? Do you know how amazing this is?”

“Go away… Go away…”

“This is all thanks to Mr. Lemon! This, I’d like to give you a hug, but it’s still awkward, so I can’t. Anyway, thanks to Mr. Lemon, I’m able to be part of the party!”

“That’s good…”

“Thank you. Really.”

“Ugh…”

She kept averting her eyes.

But it didn’t matter.

‘Ah, at a time like this, I really want to hug you tightly and rejoice with you…’

It’s just a pity that I can’t do that.

‘It’s not bad… If I do this well, I can go to Nightmare Dungeon again, right?’

I don’t know right now, but it won’t be a very impossible story.

Because I have a trump card called fraudulent buff cooking.

Of course, you have to grow the chef class tremendously and invest a lot of attributes.

Plus, that amount of lemon is also essential.

‘Still… I was giving up very much, but where did I find even a small hope?’

“Mister! Here’s something else! An item!”

“You guys take care of that.”

“Ah, why oh oh. Are you not curious?”

“I’m curious. But right now it’s a waste of time. You can just pick them up and check them all at once. There won’t be an end if you check them one by one and sit down. We have to catch dozens more in the future.”

“Dozens?”

“Maybe more than that.”

The children opened their mouths wide.

“Come on, Mr. Lemon! The next monster Go Go!”

“Huh? Ah, yeah…”

“Huh? Mr. Lemon, why is your face so red?”

“Oh, no blush! Who’s blush!”

She suddenly lowered her face guard and ran towards the monster.

I really don’t know why.

* * *

(Summon Ritual Stop: 5/5)

“I’m done!”

“Mister, it’s all over!”

[You have cleared the 2nd stage of the special quest. However, I am still unable to proceed to step 3. Other participants in the quest have not yet stopped the summoning ceremony.]

[Total progress of quest stage 2: 12%]

“Did you guys see the message too?”

“Yes…”

“I told you we need to hunt dozens more.”

“Ah…”

“I don’t have time to rest. Let’s go hunt the others right away.”

“Even though our request is over?”

“It doesn’t matter. I just need to achieve my goal. Who can I blame for the sluggishness of the other adventurers’ party and territory knights?”

The children laughed, looking like they had taken bitter medicine.

“Let’s go!”

“Yes…”

“Go, let’s go…”

Our hunt isn’t over yet.

* * *

“Ugh… Ugh… Haa…”

“Couldn’t you rest for a bit?”

“It’s all over. Cheer up a little. We’ll just have to catch one more.”

[Overall progress of special quest stage 2: 98%]

About 3 minutes to hunt one.

We hunted monsters around the hill for about two hours.

Those are mid-boss level monsters.

And finally, I succeeded in defeating the last monster.

[The special quest has been renewed.]

[Special Quest Step 3: Dealing with the Ancient Ghost Kashkari]

– Kashkari, an ancient specter, is performing a forbidden summoning art. She has to hurry up and stop it.

– Ancient Wraith Kashkari is very powerful. You must join forces with other players as well as Salem’s adventurers and land knights. Be careful not to lose your life.

– Goal: Kill Kashkari, the ancient specter (0/1), stop forbidden summoning (0/1)

– This is the final stage of the special quest.

Finally, the final boss has appeared.

Raid boss that players who start this game will face for the first time.

Kashkari, an ancient specter.

‘The time has finally come.’

“Is everyone prepared?”

“Yes!”

“Of course. I’m here for this.”

“I don’t mind anytime.”

“Okay then!”

“It’s cold~”

“No, let’s start cooking before we leave. Buff time is over.”

“Aha!”

“Wow! It’s cooking, it’s cooking!”

We sat down and started eating again.

* * *

The highest plateau of the Blue Wolf Hills.

In the middle of the plateau, the final boss Kashkari and some ghosts are doing something suspicious.

On the floor, an eerie dark red liquid, whether it is human blood or goblin blood, forms a huge magic circle.

A cloudy translucent membrane blocks access to the magic circle.

It was a barrier.

Right now, a direct attack on the barrier is impossible.

“Who dares to disrupt a sacred ceremony!”

The boss found us.

His size is incomparable to the ghosts he has dealt with so far.

A 3-meter-tall mage-type boss monster covered in filthy rags flies across the air toward us.

“As soon as he comes out of the barrier, secure him from Ugg.”

“Yes!”

“You must not attack Mr. Lemon until he is in position.”

“Yes!”

“I won’t attack until you give me a signal.”

No other adventurers or knights have arrived yet.

But it will appear sooner or later.

This is because we have cleaned up most of the 2nd stage monsters.

‘Can I succeed before they come?’

Something else can’t be done.

Fortunately, there are no other players who participated in this event.

Then it won’t be that difficult.

“Is this okay?”

Cried Miss Lemon.

“Yes! That’s it! Let’s go guys!”

“Attack!”

The full-scale boss attack has begun.

“The other side is all cliffs, so be careful!”

“Yes.”

“First of all, you have to make the boss’ HP less than 20%. Then he will run away into the barrier. From then on, you have to destroy the barrier.”

“Okay.”

“Yes!”

“We will only do what you tell us to do.”

Kashkari is very tricky for beginners to hunt.

In particular, if he is hit by a wide-area magic that is used repeatedly every 30 seconds, his stamina will quickly drain.

And if he gets attacked consecutively, he can’t handle it with beginner potions.

Because of this, in the early days of the game opening, dozens of players died, resurrected, and then jumped over and over again.

‘That’s why I brought Miss Lemon…’

The story changes when you have a reliable tank that can stably maintain aggro.

AoE magic is unavoidable, but if the follow-up attack is directed at the tank, the rest of us have time to recover.

It’s perfect if you cancel the debuff by wide-area magic, insert your dot heal, and even drink a potion.

‘But…’

My idea of doing so turned out to be very useless.

[Caution! Kashkari, an ancient evil spirit, is casting AoE Magi Explosion.]

‘Originally, it’s a very dangerous situation…’

-Kwaang!

A turbid demonic storm hit everyone.

However, the damage was minimal.

Me, Mumu, and Melissa’s HP only decreased by about 150.

Of course, thanks to the Secretify Chain.

Because of that, Mr. Lemon’s physical strength decreased by 2100 all at once…

‘This is crazy.’

She was less than 10% of her stamina.

And in just one second, her HP was full.

It’s my skill, but it’s really crazy.

‘Dot heal amount 1332 per tick…’

At this level, her boss attack was negligible.

She was in a situation where she could stand in place and deal stakes during each cooldown while maintaining only the grace of a saint.

“Guys, there’s nothing to be afraid of with flashy effects. Just deal!”

“Yes!”

“Yap! Take my magic!”

We ate away the boss’s health in an instant.

It was so peaceful that it felt boring.

“Honey, why does she have so much stamina?”

“That’s it… It’s the final boss of the collective commission.”

“I think I’m too weak for something like that.”

“Is that so? Mr. Lemon, try removing the Secretify chain for one turn.”

“Yes.”

After a while,

“Hey, hey… Mister, I was wrong.”

“Che, stamina is half at once…”

The complexion of the two girls turned pale.

“If it wasn’t for the dishes you ate and God’s blessings I used, you could die in one hit if you’re unlucky.”

He always nodded his head.

This should have been enough to alert you.

“Lemon seeds!”

“Yes.”

I didn’t say it until the end, but immediately the Sacrifice chain was reconnected.

I also immediately used the saint’s grace.

[Synergy effect has been activated.]

‘Somehow… I have a strong feeling of becoming a set.’

Synergy characteristics.

I felt like there was a link between her and me with just one characteristic.

‘Because the name is a chain in the first place…’

* * *

After about 25 minutes of clearing Kashkari, the others finally showed up.

“We will join you too! We are from Barley Village.”

“What are you doing! Stop the summoning ritual right now!”

It was an adventurer’s party in Barley Village and the five knights who arrived first.

‘It’s not a membrane insect, it’s just that it appears.’

[The ancient specter Kashkari’s health has been reduced to less than 20%.]

[Kashkari, the ancient specter, has fled into the barrier. We must hurry up and destroy the barrier and stop the summoning ritual.]

(Remaining time: 4 minutes 58 seconds)

‘To show up right before the count starts… Come a little late.’

“Now, let’s attack the barrier! If we don’t destroy it in time, the curse will be activated, so hurry up!”

No need to worry.

The knights have already arrived, and even if they arrive late, the barrier is not very strong.

At the time when many players participated in this quest, it was weak enough to be destroyed in just 3 seconds.

[The barrier has been destroyed!]

“Quaaa! Rituals must succeed! Please don’t disturb meaaa!”

Kashkari let out a shrieking roar.

[You must defeat the Ancient Wraith Kashkari within 1 minute. Hurry up. If you fail, disaster will be summoned to this land.]

“Attack the damn specter now!”

“Wow!”

The knights rushed at Kashkari.

“Mister? Should we go too?”

“Let’s go, Melissa! Let’s go too! We caught everything, but the good part can’t be taken away by other parties or knights!”

But then.

[Party member Jeon Tae-min has disabled the ally protection mode.]

“Huh?”

“Huh?”

“Hmm?”

Ally protection mode is a kind of protection device that prevents your attacks or skills from attacking party members and allied NPCs.

And the sound of unlocking it meant that it would attack NPCs and players from now on.

Simply put, PK mode ON.

“You guys are taking a break.”

Everyone looks at me with puzzled eyes.

But I had this in mind from the beginning.

[Party member Jeon Tae-min casts ‘Skill: Protection Barrier’ on the ancient specter Kashkari.]

First, protection.

God bless you next.

Cure, and protection again.

“What the hell are you doing!?”

The knights immediately noticed the strangeness and shouted at me.

This is a natural result.

Because in the eyes of others, this kind of behavior is no different from the worst bad manners.

“I’m sorry, but please wait a minute. Everyone. I have an idea…”

However, in this situation, no one would take my words lightly.

Even the party members.

“What the hell are you doing? Are you crazy?”

“Ahhhhh …

One minute was an instant.

The knights were flustered and couldn’t continue the attack, and the adventurers in Barley Village just stood there and looked at me blankly.

Because of that, one minute had passed in an instant.

(Remaining time: 0 minutes 00 seconds)

[Timeout! Failed to kill Kashkari.]

[Failed to complete the final stage of the special quest.]

Mumu was the first to raise his voice towards me.

“Why… Why did you do that? Didn’t we come here to complete this request?!”

I answered calmly.

“Sorry.”

My business was not in this quest from the beginning.

“This was my intention from the beginning.”

Faces of astonishment.

And finally.

[Danger!! Disaster is being summoned.]

We failed.

Couldn’t stop the summoning ritual of the ancient specter.

But it doesn’t matter.

My purpose from the beginning was the disaster that will be summoned from now on.
