Adventurers Are Obsessed With My Cooking

Episode 39. Cooking the monster

“Done!”

Unlike before, where you had to fry each piece in a frying pan, you could cook all the servings of bulgogi at once.

Since the rice was cooked in different pots at once for about 10 people, we were able to start eating together at the same time.

“Give me some food.”

“Please.”

“Bob, please…”

“Wait. I prepared it all at once because it would be delicious to eat together.”

Anyway, even that lemon guy is going crazy after he said he became a little closer.

The three of them looked up at me at the same time with wide eyes like a girl selling matches, but I didn’t have the confidence to endure it for long with my weak resistance.

When you open the pot, white steam rises, and the well-ripened grains of rice flaunt their luster between them.

Using a wooden spatula, he carefully scooped freshly cooked white rice onto the widest plate he had.

“Boo, Bulgogi… Beef Bulgogi… Haang, quickly…”

“What kind of strange noise are you making in front of rice?”

“What, what! Quick please. Bulgogi!”

Lemon’s eyes turned upside down.

The guy was about to rush in and eat it with his hands.

He must have missed him that much.

Even if you eat it for the first time, the delicious smell makes people go crazy.

Even the appearance of impatient to eat right away was just cute.

“I didn’t have any other side dishes that deserved it, so I made it into a rice bowl. It’s okay, right?”

“Yes, yes, yes. Please, please. Please, please.”

“I… It seems like my sister has become Melissa for some reason…”

“Eat Melissa and Sipohyo! Quickly Ju Sehyo!”

Maybe she didn’t like the overlapping of characters, Melissa said in a strange tone.

I just smiled and poured rice into five plates.

“Huh? Mister! Why are there five bowls?”

“Mine! I’ll eat two bowls!”

“Don’t be greedy. If you want more, I’ll do it again.”

“Huh…”

“Then who is that?”

“Yes.”

I moved my gaze to everyone’s back.

Since it is at the top of the mountain, the sun sets early, so the surroundings are already dark.

The lights hanging from the stalls illuminate the surroundings, but it was hard to find the silhouette of a young prisoner girl standing next to the building in the back.

“Wait a minute.”

First of all, I made the first Bulgogi Rice Bowl.

It was the same when I made bulgogi a little while ago, but because I used a new meat, a new menu was completed and a message asking me to register my name popped up.

However, I put it off for a while, and took the rice bowl that was finished first and stepped towards the darkness.

“Mister? Where are you going?”

“Wait a minute.”

I walked slowly so as not to be surprised.

Up to the corner of the building where the young prisoner girl is hiding.

“It’s good to eat together in a bright place… Can we eat it in the dark?”

It wasn’t the child who responded to my voice, it was Mumu behind me.

He suddenly shuddered and said.

“Ah, mister? Suh, no way… What’s there?”

“Yes.”

“Hey… Seo, no way… Ears, ears, ears, ghosts?”

‘Anyway, that guy was afraid of dogs, so this time he’s a ghost?’

It was absurd.

I was going to say yes with the intention of teasing her, but I shut her mouth, afraid that the kid in front of me would get hurt.

Hiding in my shadow, I made eye contact with the child looking up at me.

Mysterious eyes that glow like cat eyes stare at me.

“Are you too young to understand the language?”

Even if you don’t understand what I mean, I don’t think you need to worry about the darkness.

Looking at those eyes, anyone would have thought that.

The little beast girl didn’t eat like before and was looking up at me.

She couldn’t help it. She turned her back again.

‘Am I still lacking?’

Maybe he was on high alert, he wouldn’t even eat if someone was right in front of his nose.

So I had to return to the stall.

“Let’s eat too.”

The three women are still looking after me.

“Hey, what’s really over there?”

“Didn’t you see?”

“Yes… I couldn’t see anything because it was covered by the man’s body.”

“Really? Can’t you see it now?”

“Oh, no one is there?”

“Huh?”

I was about to ask what he was talking about, that the little girl was eating.

But I couldn’t really see anyone.

It’s strange that I can’t see those bright eyes at all.

‘Huh? Where have you been?’

Nothing was visible.

Both the child and the rice bowl I handed out.

‘No way…’

Home… Are you going to take it to the cave where the clan is staying and eat it?

‘How are you? They’ll come back when it’s time to eat again.’

I looked around, then gave up and returned to my place.

* * *

“Aren’t you kidding me again?”

Guy Lemon squints his eyes and doubts me.

“There really was! A young prisoner girl! Look! The rice bowl I brought with me is gone too!”

“Hmph. I’ll trust you once. But I really won’t forgive you if you do something strange again.”

“I will not forgive you, Mister!”

“Me, me too… Never play real ghosts… It’s scary.”

These guys can’t stand it for a day and rebel again.

“Don’t you guys want to eat dinner?”

“Ah, no… That’s not it…”

“Sorry.”

“Please… Please. Bulgogi…”

I looked at the three guys as if they were funny and laughed, then finished the rice bowls one by one and set them down in front of each other.

At the same time, the name of the new menu was confirmed.

[Registered. The name of the new dish is ‘Eupore Lake Water Buffalo’.]

[Registered. The name of the new dish is ‘Yupore Lake Buffalo Bulgogi Rice Bowl’.]

[Cook class level has increased.]

[Cook class level has increased.]

‘Oh yeah! 4 Up in one day!’

Maybe it’s because the level is still low, but only for the original recipe, the level is rising one by one whenever a new recipe is registered.

Unlike before simple flour, Bulgogi was considered a fairly difficult dish, so the experience was generous.

But this was not the end.

Some strange message popped up.

[The first monster recipe has been registered.]

[The Monster Chef level has been unlocked. You are currently at Level 1 of the Grotesque Chef. The monster cook level can be increased up to 5.]

[Monster Chef Level 1]

– You’re a beginner in cooking.

– The person who absorbs the monster you created will receive a level 1 monster buff.

– Stage 1 Beast Food Buff: If you hunt monsters that are used as the main ingredient for the food, you can obtain the food ingredients with a certain probability even if you do not have the Chef’s ingredient search skill.

‘Ah… It’s a water buffalo, so I thought it was just unusual beef, but now that I think about it, it’s a monster?’

After confirming the grotesque buff, I sighed, saying, ‘Of course, that’s the case.’

It is truly a useless buff.

Besides, this is… You can eat it, right?

“Mister, have you leveled up right now? Wow! Congratulations.”

“Congratulations, Chu.”

“Congratulations to Melissa too! Cheers! More delicious dishes! Cheers!”

These guys don’t even know what people are feeling right now…

This is a completely unexpected problem.

“Can I eat it now?”

“Now, hold on…”

“Huh… Why?”

“Aren’t you kidding again?”

“No… Listen, everyone. I just found out about it…’

‘I can’t make them eat without knowing what it is…’

“This, this water buffalo meat.”

“Melissa got it!”

“Yes. This is what you caught… This is monster meat.”

“I know! This is inside a dungeon!”

“Are you still going to eat?”

I quietly checked the expressions of the three people.

“How about that? Melissa loves beef!”

“Wolves eat beasts too, but I don’t think there’s anything we can’t eat.”

“Are you really okay?”

The two girls nodded.

Well, I can understand that way of thinking because I’m originally a local.

But lemons will be different.

I stared at her face.

“Me?”

“Yes. Are you going to eat it? Do you have any objection?”

“Is that… Why are you asking this delicious dish in front of people?”

“I didn’t know either.”

“I want to eat. I ate yesterday anyway. You ate too.”

“Yesterday?”

“Yes. Carlisle wild boar barbecue. Wasn’t that also monster meat?”

“Oh, is that so? Come to think of it, nothing is wrong?”

I was embarrassed because I felt like I was serious alone.

‘Even I already ate yesterday…’

I guess I was worrying for nothing.

I made up my mind and once again introduced the new menu in front of them.

“Come on, Colonel Eupore Lake Water Buffalo Bulgogi Rice Bowl!”

“Eh? What name is so long?”

“……”

Ah, it’s full of problems from one to ten, really.

I couldn’t help it.

Since I had to make bulgogi using other beef in the future, I had no choice but to use the full name.

That way you won’t get confused later.

“Just call it beef bulgogi rice bowl.”

“Beef Bulgogi Rice Bowl! I’ll enjoy it.”

“Thank you, mister. I’ll enjoy it.”

“I also… Eat well…”

“Wait! Lemon, wait.”

“Why again!”

“Huh? Are you mad?”

“No… Why do people keep interrupting…”

Lemon started crying like a child.

‘I’m not a babysitter, and it’s hard to deal with the kids all day.’

“Duk! Who doesn’t want to eat it? Give me an appraisal before eating. With the Insight skill.”

“Ah… Yes. Can I eat it after that?”

“Any amount! And it would be more comfortable to wear a connoisseur’s costume than to eat in such thick armor? It’s much nicer to look at…? Why are you covering it up all of a sudden!? Who knows this as a pervert!”

“Hmph.”

Anyway, he is a man of many kinds.

“Again, why are you looking at me like that?”

“No.”

“Melissa won’t say anything!”

These guys are so picky again after they have been disciplined.

While I was making a solemn expression, Lemon’s emotions ended.

I immediately checked the item information of the new menu.

‘Ah… Long.’

As much as the attribute level was invested up to 35, the stat boost effect of 350% + All 100% was properly applied to the basic buff.

‘Huh? Wait for a sec!’

“Isn’t this a rare dish?”

“Can’t you see the name? It’s been blue since before.”

“Ah, did you?”

I also have a lot of things to do, so I can’t get my head around it.

“Is it because you used monsters as ingredients? Water buffalo meat was definitely common, right?”

“Isn’t it because he’s a freak…?”

“Oh, I see…”

Somehow I understand.

It’s a monstrous meal, it can’t be a common general grade dish.

It will be very special.

I don’t know, but I may be the only freaking cook in the world.

Thinking like that, the rarity rating feels rather lacking.

It should be at least one unique.

Anyway, thanks to that, the buff effect was great.

It is incomparable to what I confirmed when I ate pork bulgogi made during the day.

Since it is also a rare grade, the basic buff value is high, so the multiplier effect through the characteristics made the difference even more stark.

It is a monster-like dish that raises the stamina, strength, and intelligence stats by 134 each.

At this level, you can say that you have already gone far beyond cash cooking.

The kiss of the Holy Grail attached to it as an original recipe feature.

This is a blessing attribute that boosts the player’s maximum health. If you increase your chef level by 14, your maximum health increases by 14%.

‘This will greatly increase your survivability?’

At least, players who eat this Bulgogi Rice Bowl will survive even if they receive one or two more attacks than usual.

Even if everything else is taken out, a 134 stamina stat and 14% HP increase is almost at the level of an option attached to an Abyss Legendary item.

Perhaps most players’ max HP will double by eating this dish?

“Mister?”

“Huh?”

“Now… Can I eat it?”

Ah, without realizing it, I became absorbed in it again.

“Yes. What’s important about buffs! First of all, taste is important! Let’s eat!”

“Yes! I’ll enjoy it!”

“I’ll eat well!”

“mmmub

“Everything… Chew and talk… Then just eat whatever you already ate…”

Unlike the other children who waited until I picked up the spoon, Lemon was already eating to his heart’s content by himself.

I understand.

I don’t know if it’s because it’s rare or because it’s beef, but this Bulgogi Rice Bowl is really filthy delicious.
