Solo Eating to Overpowered

Episode 23

Lizardman!

A humanoid monster with the body of a lizard.

They appeared in the wet swampy field west of Narville.

Like goblins, they are monsters with intelligence above a certain level. Although their level is only in the 60s, they become stronger as they gather together.

Shoo shoo shoo!

The Assassin hiding in the shadows caught the attention of the Lizardman warrior.

See! One Lizardman warrior attracted by aggro left the group and chased the Assassin.

“Just one guy!”

“Okay, I’ll hit you right away!”

“Holy blessings!”

Shiram, the leader of the party and a martial artist by profession, was in a good mood.

How many parties are there that are both talented and well-matched?

It was difficult to meet these party members easily.

Sigh! Shiram clenched his fists and thought to himself.

‘I must add friends.’

It is a relationship that cannot be missed!

Shram made a promise and rushed towards the Lizardman warrior.

“Tekken!”

“Your side is empty, you bastard!”

Burbubbuk!

Sigh!

Shram and Assassin launched a coordinated attack on the Lizardman warrior. Their level was close to 60, so they were not far behind the Lizardman warrior, but the Lizardman warrior was brave right up until his death.

Ceeee!

puck! The Lizardman’s curved sword stuck into Shram’s shoulder. The priest quickly chanted a spell.

“Have mercy on them!”

“The strings are as tenacious as the skin of a baby. “Thank you.”

Anyway, the three-person party got along well. This was not an opponent that the Lizardman warrior could defeat alone. Gurgling! The Lizardman warrior collapsed in the swamp.

“Is everyone okay? “I’ll assume you’re okay and I’ll bring another one right away!”

“great. “Please!”

Great experience!

The Assassin ran towards the group of Lizardmen with enthusiasm. Schram punched the calculator in his head. It takes about 5 minutes to catch one. At this rate, you can raise one level in two days.

‘Where is this level in a field other than a dungeon?’

You can level up even if the loot is nothing special. Shram and the priest talked about various things and waited for the Assassin.

But for some reason, there was no news.

“Maybe something happened? You have excellent aggro-fighting skills, but if you let your guard down even for a moment, you’re headed straight for the goal…”

A bunch of Lizardmen!

If you get caught wrong, even if you are at a high level, you won’t be able to find a single bone.

Shram nodded with a serious face in response to the priest’s concern.

“I guess I should go see it sometime.”

“I think that would be a good idea as well.”

The two carefully crossed the swamp.

And it wasn’t long before I found the Assassin.

He is looking somewhere with a mesmerized face!

“I was really worried after that. But what are you looking at…?”

Shram paused.

A group of lizardmen.

Because I could see a human figure in the middle of it!

“That’s a user, right?”

As I said, the more the Lizardmen unite, the stronger they become. Two rather than one, three rather than two.

Dealing with a bunch of Lizardmen like that?

That is no different from suicide.

But what on earth is that crazy guy?

the priest asked, stuttering.

“I guess your level is much higher than it looks?”

“I guess so. I’m taking down the Lizardman in one or two hits at most. It’s clearly a close combat type… but how can it move like that?”

You’re much more agile than me, right?

Assassin felt a sense of shame.

It was the same with Schram.

‘Can I fight like that just because my level is high?’

no.

Schram shook his head.

That’s a crazy thing that can only be done with great skill and guts. The three watched the man’s battle in fascination for a while. It was only when the fight was over and the man was looting the item that I came to my senses.

“Hehe, it looks like he is also a high level person who came to work on leather.”

Lizardman leather!

As it was a rare item, the drop rate was low. However, it was a highly versatile material because it was tough and had a pretty pattern. Therefore, I was able to get a good price even if I sold it in large quantities to NPCs.

“Anyway, it’s amazing. I can’t believe I took down that many lizardmen alone. Looking at his shoulders, it doesn’t look like he has a guild at all. “If you’re that skilled and at a high level, the big guilds won’t go out of their way to recruit you.”

“Come on, we can’t just sit still.”

You can’t stay envious of others forever!

Schram brightened the mood.

The party members also seemed to be motivated again.

However, the most important Lizardmen were not visible.

Assassin looked around and opened his mouth.

“I guess they all caught up with us while we were blanking out?”

Lizardman corpses piled up in the swamp!

The corpses added weight to the speculation.

No matter how hard you work, you like it.

To come all the way to a place like this and wipe out the monsters!

Even if it’s unfair, is there anything you can do?

Whoever catches it first wins.

There is no place on the field.

shaking! Shram muttered, swallowing bloody tears.

“Anyway, that’s true. There is no such thing as business ethics….”

*

Slap! X muttered as he waded through the swamp.

“I like it, it’s exciting, it’s always new.”

The joy of battle!

It was different from Lean Online, where only the mouse and keyboard clicked. It is a fate full of variables.

Even if it is a monster with a wide difference in level, you cannot let down your guard even for a moment.

That’s exactly what X liked.

‘This time, it will never be reduced to obsolescence.’

Maintain overwhelming skills that no one can surpass!

That’s why X did his best at every moment.

That was the reason why he charged into the group of Lizardmen despite the risk. Even though X is close to level 200 in terms of stats, you can’t let down your guard.

Shock!

With a light swing of the sword, two Lizardmen were killed.

‘Well, it may seem different to others.’

massacre!

X was doing his best to hunt, but to others, it would just be a massacre. In fact, X did not allow a single attack to the Lizardmen.

But X’s level is only 50!

The level of experience given by the level 60 Lizardmen was enormous.

X checked the current level.

Name

:

_

_

_

If the users watching around them knew about this, they would shed tears of blood. Moreover, if you know that one Lizardman skin was obtained from two animals through heavenly harvesting.

“If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to sleep because I feel unfair.”

X hummed and lit a bonfire.

If you were going to hunt all night, you had to have a full stomach.

Today’s menu is Lizardman meat!

Even though it walks like a human, isn’t it a lizard after all? X had no objections in that regard. Even if you feel reluctant, your stats will increase if you eat it.

“Even if it makes me nauseous, I have to eat. cancer.”

X took out a cooking tool and cleaned all the lizardman meat in his inventory. Cheesy! Put oil in a pan and sprinkle with spices.

‘You said you had to scent the oil, right?’

X subscribed to the cooking channel as he had decided.

I decided to watch a simple video and try to follow what I thought I could do. Solsol! A fragrant smell rose from the heated oil.

‘Put the meat here.’

Sizzle!

The sound of the outside becoming dry pierced my eardrums. X put great effort into sprinkling fragrant oil over the meat. Ring ring! As the hot oil flowed over the surface of the meat, the flavor was added to the meat.

‘Next time, let’s try a heavenly dish.’

How would a gourmet king cook lizardman meat?

What other effects does it have?

Because I was curious, 2 servings was the standard.

X chewed the lizardman steak he had made.

“Tsk tsk, I guess I have some talent?”

The moment you chew, the juice spreads into your mouth. The aromas of the fully cut spices seemed to blend in harmoniously and dance in my mouth.

Plus, your ability level increases!

[Your heavenly sense of taste has discovered the hidden flavor of ‘Lizardman Herb Steak’!]

[The rich taste of the steak is absorbed into your body!]

[Maximum stamina increases by 250 points!]

[Maximum mana increases by 100 points! ]

[Strength increases by 20 points!]

[Intelligence increases by 5 points!]

“Oh.”

Is it because it fully preserves the taste of the meat and the aroma of the spices? All four stats increased evenly.

It was definitely worth studying and putting in a lot of effort.

With a satisfied smile, X ate the remaining meat.

“Next time… let’s take a look at the Gourmet King’s skills.”

Heavenly cuisine!

As soon as X activated his skill, a shadow enveloped his body. X moved his hands as the shadow guided him. Shashashak! The dish was prepared at an incredible speed.

‘It’s no different from me.’

Add some oil to the pan and add the meat.

Rather, Shadow of the Gourmet King did not use any spices or seasonings. The steak made by X took more work and more attention.

All at once!

Soon, X swallowed his saliva as he looked at the finished dish in front of him.

‘But why does this one look more delicious? ‘Is it because you are conscious of it?’

The king of gourmet cuisine!

gulp! Maybe it was because I knew that fact that my mouth watered even though I was full. X carefully cut the meat and put it in his mouth.

Flash! X’s pupils dilated.

[The heavenly sense of taste has discovered the hidden taste of ‘Ilseong Cuisine Real Lizardman’!]

[The senses of the Lizardman, the master of the swamp, are absorbed into the body!]

[Ignores the effect of behavioral impairment in the swamp for 60 minutes!]

[ Movement speed in the swamp is doubled for 60 minutes!]

[Health regeneration in the swamp is doubled for 60 minutes!]

“…Oh my.”

Leaving behind the wonderful taste lingering in my mouth for a moment.

X thought deeply.

‘Are you sure. Ilseong Cooking specializes in buffs.’

If you think about it, all the Ilseong dishes that you have made so far have been dishes made by taking advantage of the natural taste of the ingredients. The effect also buffed the characteristics of the material accordingly.

‘No matter how difficult the hunting ground is…’

Doesn’t that mean that if you catch the monsters that live there and cook them as heavenly food, you can act as freely as the monsters that live there without any restrictions?

Clap! Clap!

After moving his feet, X was sure.

‘It just looks like bare ground. It’s easy to move around.’

At that moment, hunting grounds that users avoid flashed through X’s mind.

Kir Crater, where hot lava gushes out!

The wrecked Selectra ship is frozen in the cold winter sea!

Even an unknown cloud mountain boasting a height so dizzying that even one wrong step can lead to death!

Although everyone has good experience points, rewards, and infinite possibilities, it is a place where it is difficult to even be active, so users do not flock there.

However, if you cook and eat a heavenly dish, the story is different.

‘Anyway, there are monsters that live in those places just fine.’

It was said that X could ignore that fatal penalty. The corners of X’s mouth went up.

“You’re saying I can monopolize everything. this?”

You may be able to monopolize not only monsters in the field, but also dungeons that may be hidden in the field. That’s all. There are plenty of possibilities to discover various linked quests related to that place. It was said

that the infinite possibilities

could only be enjoyed by X ‘alone’.

X said, munching on the remaining meat and swallowing it.

“good. Because I found a new possibility…”

Now it was time to beat up the Lizardman once again. I had to make the most of the buff already applied!

Shashashak!

Swift movements that belie the fact that it is a swamp!

X rushed into the group of Lizardmen without delay.

‘First of all, let’s go to level 65 by morning!’

Munchkin that I eat all by myself
