Never Die Extra (Edited)

Evan D. Sherden, Robs the City. (6)

The next morning, Evan enjoyed a sumptuous meal with his group at the accommodation.

Inside the hotel, he could pay for a meal or call room service, but Evan committed the mistake of adding an extra black chip (100 gold coins) to prepare meals for VIPs that had already been paid in advance.

The Rabbit House called all their chiefs to serve a meal worth an entire black chip. As a result, nearly a 5-meter-large table with all kinds of food was prepared for them.

“There are many dishes I haven’t seen before.”

Arisha looked at all the food, which was too grand for breakfast.

This was a feast of dishes that even a noble who ruled the dungeon city of Pellati had not been exposed to, with various delicacies. Evan spoke with a smile.

“As it is not only close to the Silk Line and Mana Road, but also because it is a free city, many people from all over the world come here, so the cooking has developed independently. Among them, Rabbit House’s VIP restaurant is rumored to have a particularly high quality of food and drinks.”

Of course, it was all knowledge that Evan had learned in the game.

The top-rated restaurant in the Yo-Ma Great War Series, which was on the Yo-Ma Great War Series’ fan site, was ‘The Kick of Pip Amy’, located in the Silk Line royal road, but that was because it often appeared on the main stage of the game scenario.

In terms of pure type and taste, several candidates could surpass The Kick of Pip Amy, and this VIP restaurant was one of them.

In particular, some of the meal menus bought with a black chip that was put out had the effect of raising a person’s status, so there was no person to skip the meal.

“Delicious!”

“This is delicious, too!”

After a night’s sleep, Lin’s and Lan’s fatigue had gone away from riding in a carriage the whole day, and thus, they ate their food vigorously. The young men Paul and Ditto, who were taking care of the twins, were also eating their food vigorously.

“Wow… Is there nothing to help me relieve my hangover……?”

“How much did you drink, owner Bane?”

“I drank all night. They sell a lot of interesting snacks at the bar, so I couldn’t help but drink after ordering this and that…… Yeah.”

“It was an interesting place. Master.”

At best, the dinner was in front of the owner of the Brotherhood Skewers, who only drank cold water, explained Horta instead. Horta drank with the owner, but it seemed that he had a high tolerance for alcohol.

“I’ve seen so many things. There were people who cheered for the big win or the people who cried that they had lost their family’s land documents..… and Master.”

Horta suddenly lowered his voice in that part and asked Evan whisperingly.

“Are all the women here wearing those leather clothes?”

“Not all women, but most of the employees. They think it’s easier to make you open your wallet that way.”

Of course, it was a costume that embodied the production team’s taste, but it has already become a representative costume for Roizen in this world.

The city was dominated by the notion that this attire was not shameful, although it was so revealing that it could’ve been considered a crime.

“We’ll be out of here tomorrow, so enjoy yourselves before then. I can help you with the money.”

“No, thanks. I’m grateful that you gave me a different experience, but I don’t think it’s a good place for me, either.”

Evan smiled bitterly at his speech’s firmness, thinking that the word ‘strength’ represented Horta. On the other hand, the ugly appearance of the owner sitting next to him…

“Sir, can’t you help me get over this hangover…? I’m a chef, but I can’t stand just watching all this food right in front of me.”

“I actually brought the owner here to feed him, but really… Everyone, don’t be like this.”

“Yes!”

Evan sighed and asked Lin to remove the owner’s condition. In an instant, the owner jumped to his feet and began to inhale the food on the table.

“Wow, I think I’m getting a lot of new ideas for cooking! Especially this sauce; It is just amazing.”

“I’m not doing this for you the next time you’re drunk, so better take care that, owner.”

“Oh, alright! Got it.”

After issuing a desperate warning to the Owner, Evan delivered what he had been trying to tell him yesterday. It was the most important reason to bring him here.

“Owner, today’s task is that you should go wherever I choose and eat the food that’s designated. As you may have just felt, do as you are told because your cooking skills must grow.”

“Is that why you brought me here? You’re very attentive to such little things.”

Bane shrugged up the pasta with a sauce made by grinding the guts of marine life that he did not know about. However, Evan did not bring the owner here simply for the “cooking experience of various countries.”

“Take this.”

“Hmm? Lunatic, El Don Coussaer, Jin Hyang, Mutschpel, Sortitz…… these are all restaurant names, right? Even the menus…”

“Like here, there are hotel restaurants and bars in the casino. Anyway, I want you to go here today and eat all the menus I’ve designated.”

“If you’re buying it for me, I’ll thank you. But is there a reason?”

“Of course. And again, alcohol is prohibited.”

This was a city where the culinary culture of all countries is mixed and developed uniquely, Roizen. The chef’s unique skill here was ‘Food Fusion’.

It was a skill that was used to create new dishes by combining two or more completely different dishes, or ingredients that did not correspond well to each other.

Anyone who wanted to buff a party with magic and permanently improve the status needed to come to the city and eat the food that the Hidden Quest required. It was a major quest for gamers who had Chef as a subclass.

“Of course, you need to get special cooking tools that are hidden in the city after that, but I’ll do it for you, and you just need to pay attention to eating and to walk around.”

“I can’t believe that just eating a designated dish gives me the ability to increase my cooking skills…… I can’t believe it at all, but I’ll choose to. There is nothing to lose by doing what the Master tells me to do.”

Evan’s list of restaurants was unusual, and he had to move right away. The owner first swept all the food that Evan pointed at in his stomach and left the restaurant first. Next to him, Horta asked, still looking at Evan.

“What should I do?”

“You can head to this place, Horta.”

“Is this a… workshop?”

In Roizen’s gambling city, countless people of national status came in with countless objects and became penniless when they left.

Naturally, the city was flooded with treasures and weapons from all countries, and it was okay to carry them inside the city, but if they were taken out as they were, they would have problems. Roizen could be at peace, thanks to the tenacity of the Great Wizard.

“So many countries, or the technology that erases the traces of unique cultures, has developed in the city.”

“Is that why you want me to visit the workshop? However, I think everything shines even more because of how it is made to reveal its own culture. If you hide it unnaturally, won’t you lose the value of the object?”

“It’s famous because the item doesn’t lose its value. It’s because it becomes more valuable.”

“…Huh.”

Roizen’s unique craftsmanship had already been recognized as a new culture after the technology to erase other countries’ traces. That was the first step toward the blacksmith’s unique skill, Imprint.

“There’s a difference in the importance of cooks and blacksmiths, so you won’t be able to learn it that easily, Horta.”

“What is imprinting? Are you talking about magical characters…”

“It’s different from magic. Imprinting is a skill. To use a more appropriate expression……it’s strengthening.”

Yes, strengthening.

This was the notorious probability system that exists in every game.

The only way to boost non-growth artifacts was the most important reason for all players to learn metallurgy! Unless everyone who played the game was plastered worldwide with growth artifacts, it was inevitable that the reinforcement system should be used.

“It’s the skill of a blacksmith who enhances the power while protecting the individuality of an item. To be a true blacksmith, you must learn this skill.”

“Since Master says so, I will try my best to learn it. Master, if I want to learn the techniques at the workshop, can I do so without any problem?”

“Yes, here you go.”

Evan gave out a token of compensation from the Rabbit House’s Hidden Stage yesterday. It was one of rewards of winning a two-pair win over the Dealer at the casino’s poker table. It was seemingly a common silver necklace.

“Take this, and they’ll teach you the skills. Actually, the background of the necklace is very long……there are seven specific quests, but Horta doesn’t have to worry about that.”

“Of course, I see.”

Horta accepted it, cherished it in his arms, and left right away. Evan grinned as he picked up a chicken leg and put it in his mouth.

“That’s enough for the two of them. Let’s finish this and leave.”

“Isn’t the rumor already spreading? Perhaps the other casinos will be reluctant to let us in?”

“It’s okay. I’ve dealt with that in advance.”

Evan met with the manager of the Rabbit House yesterday and had a deep conversation. And he reached a mutually satisfactory agreement in return for handing over some of the black chips he had collected from each of the players from different countries yesterday.

“To be honest, I’m just saying that I’m going to dumb down the financial resources of other casinos because it’s going to be unfair for you guys.”

“…That’s…”

“Will the other rich men who lost yesterday let you get away with this?”

“Yes, there was no one there who could have spread the word that they’ve lost.”

It wouldn’t be such a big problem even if they did. Roizen’s casinos could not reject customers. It might be possible to manipulate the game to see the customer fail, but it’s already a victory for this side if you know it in advance.

“I’ll be able to get everything I want by the end of the day anyway. Guys, I’ll give you some pocket money, so have fun today.”

“Wow, you’re the best!”

“I like Master Evan. You’re the best!”

“Sir. Are you sure you’re okay with that? What if something goes wrong…”

While Lin and Lan were not aware of the word and were delighted, Paul, who was now getting a little bit nervous, spoke as he realized the dangers of gambling.

But in fact, the gambling city of Roizen did not rule out minors. On the contrary, they were welcomed. This was because minors had less rational judgment, and they could be easily shaken.

“I’m only giving a little bit of money anyway, so feel free. Just go and play, thinking you’re going to use it all up. Okay? …Dain, take care of the children for me today. Just in case a stranger makes any strange suggestions.”

“Okay, Sir. Then, Belois, I ask for your escort.”

“Leave it to me.”

Dain and Belois exchanged glances and nodded firmly to each other. When Evan saw Dain leading Paul and the other children, he also got up.

“Well, let’s go and finish up what we didn’t get yesterday.”

“It’s going to be fun today.”

“But please don’t act like yesterday, Master. It is painful to know that it is a lie.”

“…Was it that bad?”

When Belois was upset by Evan, who misunderstood her words, he soothed her, and they left the restaurant together.

“I’ve been waiting, Master.”

There was a person who greeted them in front of the restaurant and politely bowed her head. She was a glamorous beauty with colorful blonde hair and unique purple eyes.

Evan remembered seeing her. He couldn’t help but notice the tight leather clothes and bunny ear headbands.

“…The Dealer, were you fired?”

“Help me, please. Master! If you don’t protect me, I might die!”

Three minutes later, Evan and his group went on their way and accepted the Dealer in charge of the Hidden Stage until yesterday—as a new maid.

The biggest catastrophe had begun since the gambling city of Roizen was opened.
