Chapter 20
Episode 20
Failure is the mother of growth!
X’s stats, which had been eating a lot of failed games, began to skyrocket once again.
This is cave bear meat that significantly increases stamina and strength even when eaten raw.
[The heavenly taste buds have discovered the hidden taste of ‘cave bear meat with a lively taste of fire!’] [The
fiery taste of cave bear meat is absorbed into the body!]
[Max health increases by 200 points!]
[Strength increases by 200 points! Increases by 15 points!]
“Tsk tsk, something is lacking.”
[Your heavenly taste buds have discovered the hidden taste of ‘Cave Bear Fried with Sauce’!]
[The harmonious taste of sauce and fries is absorbed into your body!]
[Maximum stamina increases by 150 points!] [Strength increases
by 20 Points increase!]
“Tsk tsk, this is lacking in some way.”
What on earth is lacking?
If it is a recipe from the king of gourmets, you will be able to recognize it the moment you eat it.
However, there was no dish that really impressed me. Even though the taste was amazing, everyone felt something was missing.
“…Should I eat it by dipping it instead of pouring the sauce on it?”
Absolutely crush it.
X has been pouring sauce on sweet and sour pork all his life, but this time he gave up his stubbornness. Even if I ate it with sauce, my stats only increased and nothing much happened.
“I thought I shouldn’t be impatient, but…”
It’s already been three days since I was stuck in the cave and toiling away!
Now the spices have run out and there is not much meat left from the cave bears. X looked at the last remaining ingredients and became lost in thought.
‘Was it just motivation that got ahead of me?’
Are you saying you should use your head and not your body?
X rolled his head. How can others enjoy eating cave bear meat, which has a unique fishy smell? Of course, the answer did not come easily.
“What spices and how much should I use?”
A spice that completely changes the taste of food even in a very small amount!
However, even with the spice sprinkled on it, the fishy smell of the cave bear was not removed.
In some cases, the taste deteriorated after adding spices.
‘I wish my tongue were common.’
I had no choice but to admit it.
For now, my heavenly sense of taste was getting in the way.
Since I have a heavenly sense of taste that makes everything taste delicious, it was difficult to make delicious food from other people’s perspectives. X looked at the cave bear meat.
“How should I cook so that it tastes good to others…”
Wait.
X frowned.
Suddenly, X picked up the cave bear meat and muttered.
“…Why did you try to cook delicious food for others?”
This is the recipe of the king of gourmet food.
A recipe that will give you the ‘power’ of a gourmet king.
Will a dish made according to that recipe actually taste delicious to others?
X shook his head. I couldn’t know the answer because I hadn’t tried it.
However, the Gourmet King also possessed the same ‘heavenly taste’ as X. If you had a heavenly sense of taste that made everything taste delicious, cooking for others would have been as difficult as it is now.
X let out a grin.
“I was completely fooled by the fishy smell of this.”
The fishy smell unique to cave bears!
That fishy smell was a trap. It was as if the King of Gourmet’s recipe could only be completed by perfectly capturing this fishy smell… But that wasn’t the correct answer.
‘I make food that only I can enjoy without being conscious of the fishy smell.’
Grumble!
X rekindled the extinguished fire. Now that I had made my own decision, it was time to move diligently again. X put the cave bear meat on a tree branch. It was the last remaining cave bear meat.
“Even if you make a mistake, you can catch it again.”
X decided to let go of unnecessary impatience.
Even if I invested a little more time, perfecting the Gourmet King’s recipe was more important. X began grilling the cave bear meat that was stuck on a tree branch.
‘If you can’t control the fishy smell, maximize it!’
During the three days of hard work, X did everything he could to catch the fishy smell.
But I failed, and there was something I realized while failing.
That is, the heavenly taste buds only find the fishy smell of cave bears good!
‘It’s not just terrible. It has its own flavor.’
Did you say you were looking for a hidden heavenly taste?
Thanks to constantly eating cave bear meat, X was able to find the flavor hidden in the fishy smell. And to maximize the flavor, no seasoning or spices were sprinkled on the cave bear.
‘It might smell really fishy, but I’m eating it anyway.’
There was nothing harsh about X, who possessed heavenly taste. I could easily ignore the fishy smell.
After thinking about it, X went out to grill the cave bear meat with great care.
‘The outside should be grilled until slightly burnt. This will prevent the juice and flavor from escaping. But you shouldn’t completely burn it down.’
A strange tension enveloped X’s body. X looked at the fire with a calmer face than ever. The skewer was turned according to the flickering of the flames.
“Phew.”
Golden brown!
X placed nicely grilled cave bear meat on the plate.
If you wait a little longer, the heat of the meat will cook it moist all the way to the inside.
Is it because I put a lot of effort into it even though I just cooked it?
I got hungry.
No worries.
X swallowed, looking at the roasted cave bear.
About 10 minutes passed and X picked up the plate.
‘Shall we eat it soon?’
Cook just for yourself, not for others! X, who was swallowing his mouth, finally took a bite of the roasted cave bear. X’s pupils dilated.
“!”
A fantasy appeared before X’s eyes.
*
‘Is this an illusion again?’
A familiar feeling.
When you eat a candy that contains the universe.
This is my second vision since then.
X looked around. It was to find the Gourmet King, but this time, the Gourmet King was standing in front of the fire. But unlike then, the Gourmet King was not alone.
“Anyway, aren’t you being too carefree?”
“What! “You can only achieve great things when you have the courage to support you.”
“Wow, the smell. What on earth are you baking?”
‘…Who do you look like?’
X tilted his head as he looked at the man’s face.
The Gourmet King had a good physique. However, the man next to him was twice as big as the gourmet king. The sight felt somehow familiar.
“Bear meat. “Even though it’s like this, it has a tremendous effect.”
“It’s so effective that you can sleep, but I can’t eat. “What does it smell like?”
“Sniff, is the smell that bad? “I just like it.”
As expected, the Gourmet King was grilling cave bear meat.
The Gourmet King playfully thrust a skewer towards the man.
The man was horrified and threw up his hands. X saw that and burst out laughing.
‘Yes, ordinary people would be appalled by the smell.’
It may be impossible to make edible food using cave bears. Ingredients that only those with heavenly taste can enjoy! X could feel a strange bond with the Gourmet King.
“Chuck, are you really not eating?”
“it’s okay. Rather, you know that we are surrounded in the middle of enemy territory, right? “You seemed so easy-going, so I asked you just in case.”
“Tsk tsk, of course I know. So, this is how you eat.”
A person who knows that can be so carefree?
X looked down the hill after hearing the man say he was surrounded.
A great army that fills the earth pitch black! The current state of the Gourmet King was that he was surrounded by a huge army.
‘Neither of you are nervous at all.’
However, the faces of the Gourmet King and the large man were also calm. Even though their words were serious, both of them seemed confident that they would get out of this crisis.
X swallowed his saliva out of nervousness.
‘No matter how strong you are, it is difficult to break through this siege…’
The large army that surrounded the hill was made up of various occupations.
Reliable close combat classes as well as sniper classes and wizard classes.
‘I don’t see the answer.’
Even with the power of the Gourmet King who shook heaven and earth, it seemed impossible to break through this siege. To put it bluntly, if you get caught even once by a proper debuff skill, your stats and everything else becomes a total waste.
“Tsk tsk, I ended up eating two people.”
“I believe that my lord is the one who pays for the food.”
“of course!”
Nevertheless, the two talked calmly.
Soon, the Gourmet King spoke to the man with a serious expression.
“Kalsumar, don’t lower your shield even for a moment.”
“of course. “You can’t get swept up in it for nothing.”
“Then make sure to meet me alive.”
‘That man was Kalsumar!’
Kalsumar, a man who seemed familiar to me for some reason!
Now that I see it, he looks exactly like Kalon in terms of size and face.
Calon’s great-grandfather nodded. He then took out a huge shield and raised it to the tip of his chin. This stance was possible thanks to the Kalsumar shield technique, which can make up for the lack of attack power.
X looked at the Gourmet King closely.
‘Is there really a way to escape from here?’
As soon as I had any doubts about the Gourmet King,
his loud shout pierced my eardrums.
“Bear stance!”
Quad deuk!
X couldn’t help but believe his eyes. As the Gourmet King shouted, the hill he was standing on was slowly collapsing. It was because of the tremendous energy radiating from the Gourmet King’s body.
‘That’s the power of the Gourmet King!’
A tremendous energy began to radiate from his body. Moreover, it has grown to the point where it is difficult to estimate its limits. The soldiers at the bottom of the hill felt a sense of crisis and began an attack. But it wasn’t enough.
“Demon magic doesn’t work at all, does it?”
“The fire arrow is breaking on its own!”
“How can a human body achieve such abilities…!”
In astonishment, the Gourmet King raised his fist.
bang! I hit the ground with my fist.
Crrrrr!
Then the ground rose and the earth began to split.
A force comparable to that of a major earthquake was created with just a single punch.
It was literally ‘the power to shake heaven and earth.’
The large army that looked like a swarm of ants was shattered in an instant.
At the same time, a shadow fell over X’s head.
The ground rose into the sky and hit X.
X, who was watching the ridiculous scene, muttered.
“…crazy.”
Soon the cancer came.
*
Flash! When I opened my eyes, I saw a cave that now felt like home.
X’s body trembled.
“There are degrees. “It’s against the rules, that kind of power…”
The Gourmet King had power that was scary.
All I did was use a skill called ‘Bear Stance’ and hit the ground with my fist.
But to wipe out that fearsome army in one fell swoop!
It was a notification that woke X up from his lingering mood.
Tiroling!
[The heavenly sense of taste has discovered the hidden taste in ‘The Gourmet King’s First Recipe’!]
[The power that will shake the heavens and earth is absorbed into your body!]
[You have acquired the unique skill ‘Bear Stance’!]
“Bear Stance… .!”
It was a skill used by the Gourmet King in the fantasy.
What kind of effect does it have?
Was it possible to exert such tremendous power?
Curiosity took precedence over joy.
gulp! X swallowed dry saliva and checked the skill.
Bear Stance (Master): A gourmet king with the power to shake heaven and earth. I have completely mastered the bear stance, which is the source of that power.
When used, your strength increases by an additional 100 percent for 30 minutes and you have 100 percent immunity to all status effects. (Cooldown: 24 hours)
“Double the strength? Completely immune to all status effects?”
Literally destroying balance itself!
What on earth were they thinking when they created this skill?
X was speechless for a while because of that ridiculous fraud.
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
