Leveling Up Through Eating

Chapter 1081

Nekk and Bernie’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets when they saw the shocking devastation before them.

The scene of a bleeding Bender sliding down the wall was shocking enough. What caught their attention was the spear that pierced through Bender, as it closely resembled the move he had used in his prime.

Just like them, Bender also looked at Minhyuk in shock.

“It was a good match.”

Minhyuk had died 3,000 times and only won once. Although he could not kill Bender, the fact that he could cut Bender’s HP to less than 20% was already an achievement he was satisfied with.

Bender stared at the place where the black spear pierced through him. “This is amazing.”

Minhyuk had created his version of the Heaven Destroyer, a power no one had ever learned. Of course, if they repeated this match, then Minhyuk would be overwhelmed by Bender.

‘I did not expect him to attack me with my skill.’

Minhyuk had also received notifications about how his favor with Bender had increased. After listening to the notifications, he checked his newly evolved Food God’s Swordsmanship.

(Heavenly Sword)

(Transcendental’s Spear)

Active Skill

Type of Swordsmanship: Food God’s Swordsmanship

Mana Required: 30,000

Cooldown: 1 hour

•Can only be triggered in the state of Transcendence.

•Can be used even without weapons.

•It will hit the target with a 100% chance and leave them in a three-second stunned state.

•It will deal an additional 33,000% damage.

The new skill was far more outstanding than the Food God’s Swordsmanship, especially “Transcendental’s Spear,” which was the spear version of the Heaven Destroyer. After all, not only would it hit the target, but it would also deal 33,000% additional damage.

‘Wow. With my stats and attack power, I wonder how high 33,000% damage is…?’

Named Monsters may be unable to escape from severe and fatal injuries with just one hit of this skill. The best part was that it was completely different from Calamity and had no penalty.

Adding on Double Skill, a skill that only had a 1.2% probability of being triggered, the damage that the Transcendental’s Spear would be able to inflict would be no less than 66,000%. The thought of triggering such a skill made Minhyuk’s mouth water.

After checking his new skills, Minhyuk checked the Origin Authority: God and Knight. This authority had leveled up by one after he ate the Beef Galbi-jjim Across All Eras.

‘I could only level this skill thanks to the Beef Galbi-jjim Across All Eras. If not for that, perhaps I wouldn’t be able to reach the next level even if I worked hard for the rest of my life.’

Minhyuk was quite excited. After all, God and Knight had never let him down every time it leveled up.

(God and Knight)

•There’s a chance that the clone bird will have a completely different personality from the skill user.

•There’s a chance that the clone bird will be lacking in some departments.

•Some of the information about the clone bird has been sealed.

The evolved God and Knight had become even more overpowered.

Based on the description, the clone bird would search for who Minhyuk needed the most. Not only that, it seemed like it could also use God and Knight by itself and use the method that would help him attract the talent to become his knight. In other words, Minhyuk could just sit back and relax and still be able to recruit a knight.

“You’ve done well.” Bender looked at Minhyuk in relief and patted him on the shoulder.

Bender did not look hurt or offended even though Minhyuk had cut down his HP by that much. He even looked like he was very proud of Minhyuk, who was able to create an opportunity for himself after deliberately dying 3,000 times in his hands.

‘I am delighted that you have obtained a part of my Heaven Destroyer.’

Bender was genuinely pleased at the fact that Minhyuk had obtained a portion of his skills.

The two exited the Transcendental’s Training Room.

“I have used the ores that you gave me to reinforce Comrade,” Nekk said as he handed the sword named Comrade to Minhyuk.

From what Minhyuk remembered, Comrade was just the Continent Destroyer Sword after Obren left and released the fusion. The only thing that changed was its name. In other words, it was just a shell of what it was. Nevertheless, he wanted to add the Supreme’s Ore Alvarranium, the ore that Minhyuk acquired after hunting the Supreme Monarch.

Minhyuk had personally cooked the Supreme Dish and knew how dangerous that feat was. Fortunately, these were the only things written in the Supreme Ore’s Alvarranium’s description.

‘It cannot be easily smelted. The damage rate would depend on the abilities of the blacksmith.’

Simply put, it wasn’t as dangerous a feat as cooking the Supreme Dish. The only tricky thing was the fact that the abilities and skills of the blacksmith would affect the smelting process.

In Minhyuk’s personal and honest opinion, if some other blacksmith dared to touch this ore, they would be in for a shock.

‘The damage to the ore would be more than 90%.’

This was his opinion as someone who had personally experienced the “Supreme”. Even if it was not a dangerous material, the name supreme was still in its name and it would still be tough to deal with.

Minhyuk checked Comrade.

Description: The God of Death has recognized and acknowledged Brod’s prowess and added his power and evilness to this sword. Guardian God Obren’s power also lies within this sword.

Minhyuk was shocked to see the +7 reinforcement on Comrade.

‘Don’t tell me that it became +7 just because of the ore used?’

Of course, it was only possible because the one who smelted the ore and added it to the sword was Transcendental Nekk.

There was also the addition of the passive skill: Comrade's Help. According to the description, this passive could allow him to use Obren’s power once a week.

‘I hope it’s one of Obren’s stronger skills.’

Overall, it seemed that Comrade had become slightly better than before.

The satisfied Minhyuk smiled and thanked Nekk. “You’ve worked hard…”

“O-ooooh…!”

“I’ll make you something delicious before I go back.”

“Oh, yes!”’

Since all the work he needed to do in the Fortress of Fantasy was done, he intended to cook for them before returning home. He wanted to make some noodles for them before he left, none other than jjapaguri with steak.

When Minhyuk asked them what the most memorable dish they had eaten was, they all said it was the ramyeon that Conir made for them. Even if the food was cheap, the only thing that mattered was the opinion of the one who would receive it. That was why he chose this menu.

Minhyuk decided to make as much as possible.

First, he gently placed the sirloin steak on the well-heated frying pan.

Sizzle–

The loud sizzling of the meat rang as he turned over the steak. After cooking both sides well, he cut them into cubes. Then, he rolled the still reddish portion to cook them for a bit before turning off the heat.

Next, he removed the noodles from the Noguri Chapagetti and put them in the pot to boil. After cooking the noodles, he added the seasoning packet and mixed everything well.

The beauty and charm of jjapaguri lie in its sweet yet spicy flavor. A bite of the sirloin steak will impress with its tender and juicy meat, which can melt in the mouth.

Minhyuk, who had made a generous amount for the Transcendentals, looked at the jjapaguri before him. The dark red and glossy sauce that covered the noodles looked enticing, and he mixed everything well.

He grabbed a piece of the cubed sirloin steak and put it in his mouth. When he took a bite, the juices trapped inside the meat immediately spilled and spread in his mouth. The taste put a broad smile on Minhyuk’s face.

Then, he grabbed a massive mouthful of noodles and took a huge bite.

“Sluuuuuuuurp!!!”

The jjapaguri noodles were plump, so they were very chewy in texture. The sweet and spicy flavor in the noodles complemented the slightly greasy sirloin steak and created a fantastic combination.

Minhyuk emptied his bowl of jjapaguri in an instant. As for the Transcendentals? They were still eating crazily. Since he finished his meal first and still had some time to spare, Minhyuk remembered the clone bird of the newly evolved God and Knight.

‘Should I summon it once?’

The clone bird would be tailored to his image, but it could also look different from him.

‘Summon Clone Bird,’ Minhyuk murmured lightly.

At that moment, a bright light flashed from the sky as a gigantic hawk slowly descended in front of Minhyuk. The gigantic hawk looked around sharply. Then, the hawk was wrapped in light and changed into Minhyuk’s figure.

Minhyuk looked at the clone bird in awe. It looked just like him, with the exception of the coarse, old cloth covering his body.

Minhyuk pondered how he would greet someone who looked exactly like him. Since he was like him, he should be a polite, kind, and good(?) guy. While Minhyuk was thinking of how to greet him, the clone bird opened his mouth and said, “Hungry…”

“...?” Minhyuk looked at the clone bird in confusion.

The Transcendentals, including Nekk and Bender, who heard the clone bird speak, all nodded.

‘Yeah. He looks exactly just like Minhyuk.’

‘I can’t believe he said he’s hungry the moment he appeared.’

Minhyuk, who looked like he did not even think like them, said, “Hello, clone bird?”

“Hungry.”

“...?”

Minhyuk stared at the clone bird.

Right. Minhyuk thought that it was okay since he looked just like him. So, he offered the frying pan that was still filled with jjapaguri.

“Here, do you want to eat this?”

“Oh. That’s good.” The clone bird spoke with admiration as he began to eat the jjapaguri. “Hungry.”

Even after he finished the jjapaguri, the clone bird still complained of hunger. Minhyuk had no choice but to cook ramyeon for him. The clone bird ate one packet, then ten packets.

“What kind of person eats ten packets of ramyeon in one go?!” Minhyuk looked at the clone bird in shock.

The Transcendentals all turned to look at Minhyuk in confusion.

“???”

“???”

Didn’t Minhyuk just finish eating twenty-one packets of jjapaguri?

The clone bird continued to eat. He had already eaten thirty packets of ramyeon.

“Wow. Can a person eat this much? I have never seen anyone eat this much in my entire life! No. Is there even someone like this in the world?”

“???”

“???”

The Transcendentals all tilted their heads in confusion when they heard the shock in Minhyuk’s voice.

The clone bird, who had eaten fifty… no, eighty packets, said, “Do you have some cold rice?”

“...?!” Minhyuk was genuinely shocked. “How can a person eat eighty packets of ramyeon and still want some cold rice…? Is this even possible?”

“...?”

“...?”

“...?”

The Transcendentals looked at Minhyuk and the clone bird alternately.

Then, Bender said, “He and Minhyuk are cut from the same cloth.”

The Transcendentals all nodded in agreement.
