Solo Eating to Overpowered

Episode 10

The morning dawned.

X felt a thrill as he watched the rising sunlight.

“Hehe, that’s good.”

There are 20 pieces of fire fox fur.

What others could not obtain even if they toiled day and night for a year, X was able to obtain in just one day. The venison skewers, which allowed me to move quickly through the forest, were a great help.

“Let’s go back to Rubin.”

The goal was perfectly achieved.

I wanted to beat up the fire fox for a few days, but I wasn’t in a hurry for money right now.

Additionally, the rate of increase in experience points slowed after passing level 25.

Because of this, X headed to Narville.

My steps were unusually light.

‘Let’s extract the fire fox fur and use it as a potion.’

X planned to extract the effect contained in the fire fox fur and stock it up.

Adding fire properties to equipment now is like a pearl necklace on a pig’s neck.

When you acquire useful equipment, it is not too late to add effects to it.

‘More than that, it’s a heavenly dish… This has enormous potential.’

Ilseong cuisine venison skewers!

The effect was amazing, just as written in the description. Because it allowed me to move through the forest at incredible speeds, as if I were a deer in the forest.

X rummaged through his inventory.

“Bison meat and fox meat would also work.”

It will definitely have a different effect than venison skewers.

X recalled the grade of the item he saw last night.

‘It’s a grade displayed by stars… Does the effect increase as the number of stars increases?’

It was easy to guess how to increase the number of stars.

Just make more delicious dishes!

In real life, there are cookbooks that classify restaurants by the number of stars. It’s a way to make food more delicious.

X, who was thinking, shook his head.

“I was lazy. The best I can do is fry…”

Why did you open a chicken restaurant?

If I had at least opened a snack bar, I would have been able to enjoy the heavenly cuisine better.

X, who had been lamenting and feeling unfair, gave up his regrets.

“Yes, it’s not too late to start now.”

Let’s learn to cook in Narville!

Of course, I wasn’t saying I was going to learn how to cook professionally. Just by learning a few common recipes, your ability level can be doubled.

X was planning to learn how to cook efficiently.

“Maybe you should ask Rubin?”

Rubin, the head of Narville, probably knows a great chef. X hurried his steps and was able to arrive in Narville just as the sun was setting in the sky.

“Uhm, I’ll give you 30 silver for this.”

Rubin appeared in X’s eyes, talking helplessly with a customer.

The deep dark circles were impressive.

X said to Rubin.

“I brought Mr. Rubin’s stuff.”

“What are you talking about… oh no, Mr. X?”

I guess I never thought that X would come back so quickly.

Rubin seemed more than thrilled.

Rubin hurriedly led X to the reception room.

X followed Rubin.

This time too, users whispered.

“Hey, didn’t you just cry Rubin?”

“You must have seen it wrong. “Rubin, who has no blood or tears, is crying?”

Rubin without blood or tears!

What the users said was not false, but Rubin was different now.

When X took out the fire fox fur, Rubin burst into tears.

“Hehehe, really… thank you so much. With this, even the high-ranking people will be quiet for a while. “X saved Rubin’s General Store!”

Tiroling!

A notification occurred to X.

[You have succeeded in the quest!]

[Your reputation increases by 10 points!]

“I’m glad it was helpful.”

X flashed a friendly, welcoming smile.

After gathering himself, Rubin opened his mouth.

“As promised, I promise to give you the best treatment, Mr. “I will share all the information I know with

“If you do, I would be grateful.”

“Thank you again, Mr. X!”

Rubin bowed his head.

It was burdensome to receive such treatment for only a fire fox fur. But I could understand. Fire fox fur is a popular item not only among NPCs but also among users.

For NPCs who cannot use the mage’s auction house, obtaining fire fox fur is like finding a star in the sky. Even if I have money, there is no way to get it.

‘By the way, I thought you said you would share all information?’

There was a question I wanted to ask.

X naturally rhymed.

“Then Mr. Rubin. Do you know a chef with great skills? Since I was adventuring alone, I ended up cooking and eating. “I thought it would be helpful to learn how to cook even a little.”

“A great cook? “There’s someone that comes to mind, but…”

Rubin trailed off.

Then he shook his head.

“It would be impossible to learn how to cook from him. You must have a very eccentric personality. “Ordinary people can’t meet him or have a proper conversation with him.”

“Are you sure about your skills?”

“There is no need to say anything about his skills. Even in Narville, where the food culture is developed, they have top-notch skills. If you still want to visit, I will write you a letter of recommendation. At least you’ll avoid getting kicked out of the door.”

Is your personality so eccentric that you even need a letter of recommendation?

Anyway, X received a letter of recommendation from Rubin. It will all be useful.

“Kalon’s restaurant is located in the main square. It’s so luxurious that you can see it right away. “If you need any help, please come to me anytime.”

Nod!

The arrogant Rubin bowed his head to X.

The users waiting at the general store were on the verge of fainting.

“You’re the one from earlier, right?”

“What are you doing that you get greeted like that?”

“Does that mean you’re at least a noble if you’re treated like that?”

“But you definitely don’t look like a nobleman.”

Yes.

You must have a noble title or knighthood to be treated as a VIP at a general store.

Although X had little reputation or ability, he had a trusting relationship with Rubin.

In some cases, you may be treated better than nobles.

X went into the alley first.

“Let’s take care of the fire fox fur first.”

I wanted to learn recipes and cook dishes right away to raise my stats. However, lightening the heavy inventory is a priority.

X went to the alchemist guild.

The Alchemist’s Guild was crowded with users wearing robes. X went up to the second floor and visited the NPC in charge of magic extraction.

“Welcome. “For what purpose have you come to visit me?”

The wrinkled old man adjusted his glasses.

Even though he had gray hair, he looked like an old man who had lived for a hundred years.

X took out a firefox fur from his inventory.

“I want to extract the effect from the fire fox fur and turn it into a potion.”

“Oh fire fox fur! It’s a precious item. “The labor fee is 1 gold.”

“Wait.”

“What’s going on?”

Miser X.

His bargaining temperament was activated.

“Do you give me a discount if I order it in bulk?”

“In large quantities? If it’s an object with the same properties, there’s nothing you can’t do. But wouldn’t it be rare to find something with the same properties as fire fox fur?”

As the old man said, there are not many items that can grant fire properties. The easiest thing to see among them was the fire fox fur.

However, this does not apply to X.

“Then you do it all for 1 gold? wait a minute!”

One by one, X began pulling out fire fox fur.

A total of 19 fire fox furs were taken out like that!

The old man stuttered at the enormous amount.

“Are you saying this is all fire fox fur? haha. Looking at the beautiful flames, there was no doubt that they were all fire fox fur. “I never thought I would touch so many firefox furs in my lifetime!”

It was an unusual thing even for an elderly person who had lived for a long time.

The old man said with satisfaction that he had seen something rare.

“Yes, 1 gold is enough. “Please wait a moment.”

“Thank you, old man. i look forward to.”

“Besides, what is your name?”

X answered the old man’s question with a grin.

“My name is X.”

The old man smiled and gave a well-wishes.

“Hmm, it seems like you will become a big person for some reason. I’m not the type of person who says things like this easily. But it looks like you will make a name for yourself one way or another.”

‘of course.’

X’s goal is to become the overwhelming leader in Fate!

It is natural that the strongest person will make a name for himself.

X, who reflected on his goal once again, responded slyly.

“Then why don’t you give the future celebrity a little more discount?”

*

Chullang!

The red solution in the glass bottle made me smile.

X checked the information window that popped up.

-Lesser Flame Essence (Unique)

An essence that possesses the properties of flame.

By drenching the equipment, you can give it fire properties.

Special Effect: Grants lesser fire properties to equipment.

“It was nice to meet you, and we’ll meet again when we get the equipment right.”

X said goodbye and put the vial into his inventory. Then we headed to the central square. I didn’t forget to walk along the road and buy street food that I had never tried before.

[Your heavenly sense of taste has discovered the hidden taste of ‘ice cookies’!]

[The refreshing taste of ice cookies is absorbed into your body!]

[Intelligence increases by 1 point!]

“Hmm, maybe I should ask politely first, right?”

X didn’t pay attention to Rubin’s words.

Rubin was a well-established merchant in Narville, so I had to listen carefully to what he said. X took a bite of the grilled skewer in his other hand.

[Your heavenly sense of taste has discovered the hidden taste in ‘vegetable skewers’!]

[The spicy flavor of vegetable skewers is absorbed into your body!]

[Maximum stamina increases by 10 points!]

[Strength increases by 1 point!]

“What? What a picky person you are. Do you even need a letter of recommendation to have a conversation?”

X was curious but not worried.

Because I was confident when it came to pleasing people.

Despite this, I ran a chicken restaurant called Red Ocean for two years. Trying to please a picky customer, not getting the attention of the building owner over the creator, smiling in any situation, etc.!

It was safe to say that X was tired of flattery.

“Wow, there was a building like this.”

Restaurant in Calon!

It was a restaurant with impressive white marble. When I first saw it, I immediately thought that it must be very expensive. X carefully opened the restaurant door.

“welcome.”

“hello.”

An employee who greets you politely.

A menu board was visible far behind.

X’s eyes widened.

‘A plate of food costs 3 gold?’

It’s incredibly expensive!

Indeed, when I looked at the customers, there were only users who looked like they had made a lot of money and noble NPCs wearing luxurious clothes. X quenched his appetite.

‘I’m not ready to eat such expensive food yet.’

How many potions are there for 3 gold?

X scolded himself while thinking of such things. But on the other hand, I thought, ‘Once you eat it, your stats go up, so it’s not a loss-making business, right?’

“Well, I’m not short of money.”

As X stopped at the door and pondered, the waiter said.

“Do you have any other business?”

“Oops.”

Okay, let’s first learn and think about cooking.

X, remembering his purpose, handed the employee a letter of recommendation.

The employee who checked the recommendation letter seemed nervous.

“This is Rubin’s letter of recommendation. “I’ll tell Chef Kalon well… but of course, it’s lunch time when there are customers…”

Looking at the waiter’s reaction, I became even more curious about the face of the guy named Kalon. The waiter went to hand out a letter of recommendation, and soon a man walked out of the kitchen.

“Let’s see, what kind of idiot wants to learn how to cook from me?”

A thick, gravelly voice!

Overwhelming appearance!

Calon, a manly man wearing an apron, growled at X.

‘You’re much more manly than I thought.’

X was taken aback for a moment, but then bowed his head.

“Hello, my name is X. As written in the recommendation, learn how to cook from Kalon, who is said to have the best skills in Narville…”

“Put aside the flattery and follow me to the kitchen.”

“yes?”

He gave me the flattery he honed to survive in reality.

But Kalon responded with something unexpected.

Kalon’s dark eyebrows twitched nervously.

“X. I will test your skills to see if you are worthy of learning cooking from me. If I don’t pass, I’ll take that to mean that my kitchen didn’t look good. “You better be prepared to get your ass kicked.”

At first meeting, they spoke informally and even made threats.

As I heard from Kalon, his personality was in the worst condition.

X’s eyes seemed to go dark for a moment.

‘A test of your cooking skills. All I can do is….’

Wait, there is one thing.

Doesn’t X have one dish that is recognized and not left behind by others? That one dish was enough to survive in the red ocean!

X raised the corner of his mouth with a grin.

“Good. But there will be plenty of chicken and oil here, right?”

Munchkin that I eat all by myself
