Chapter 10.1
Translator - ChubbyCheeks
When eating soy sauce egg rice, there are people who preferred to break the yolk over the rice but Minhyuk personally liked half-fried egg over his soy sauce egg rice.
Just like that, he cooked five eggs in his frying pan and without turning them over, he opened the lid of his pot to check on the rice.
Shwaaaa—
Steam came out of the pot.
He then placed his five freshly cooked half-fried eggs on top of the rice.
Then he continued to fry more eggs.
Wouldn't everyone agree that one of the biggest charm of eggs was that it could be fried without any additional seasonings?
Minhyuk continued to add the additional five eggs he had just fried in his pot. He personally prefers to have about three fried eggs per bowl of soy sauce egg rice.
He then poured soy sauce in his spoon.
One spoon, two spoons, three spoons.
He poured the appropriate amount according to the amount of rice he cooked. He then opened the lid of the sesame oil. The savory scent floated around with a swoosh~ and stimulated his nose as he poured it in.
Then...
Guuulp—
He swallowed back his drool that was flowing out.
Swish swish swish—
"Mix with your left hand~ mix with your right hand~."
Minhyuk mixed the ingredients in his pot diligently as he hummed his song.
The colors of both seasonings after adding the appropriate amount gave a stark contrast. After mixing it properly he could see a nice golden sheen.
He scooped a large mouthful with his spoon.
The whole point of eating a big spoonful of soy sauce egg rice was to taste that salty and savory flavor that can completely subdue your hunger after one bite, right?
He chewed his food carefully.
"This is delicious...! Wow, this egg is really tasty as expected!"
Minhyuk was very happy to eat his soy sauce egg rice.
If I have kimchi, kkakdugi, yeolmu kimchi or seasoned perilla leaves [1] as side dishes then it would be like an icing to the cake.
Minhyuk finished four bowls of soy sauce egg rice in the quickest time possible. Then...
[Your fullness has increased to 100%/6]
"Hmm?"
Minhyuk tilted his head in confusion. He never heard a notification for this before.
He felt a sense of foreboding from the system prompt.
This ominous feeling.
'What is it?'
He had no choice but to stare at it in puzzlement.
***
User Minhyuk has reached 6 in his fullness stat.
Team Leader Park, who received the report from Lee Minhwa, moved in a hurry.
"What? He just ate soy sauce egg rice? With that golden egg?"
"Yes."
"Kgh, in the end we still came to this point. It's a really surprising 'no', right?"
Team Leader Park continued to talk.
"Increase User Minhyuk's user level by 1. Once he reaches 7 his 'trial' will begin."
I'll eat that chicken when I get out of here.
It's a real delicacy to make with that golden chicken.
Minhyuk chewed on a bread as he made his way to where Instructor Valen was.
He arrived shortly.
"Give me the reward, you NP..."
"Get lost."
As expected of Instructor Valen, anyone would shake at his coldness.
"Instructor."
"Oh, boy, what are you doing here?"
"I really missed the Instructor. I couldn't stand not seeing your face everyday."
"Hoho, this friend's mouth is still as smooth as ever."
"He... To be honest... Instructor Roina asked me to pass this on to you."
"Roina?"
Valen's expression stiffened for a moment but he quickly straightened it out.
He smiled a little.
His eyes drifted towards the letter and the handkerchief that Minhyuk gave him.
He quickly checked the contents of the handwritten letter.
"That's very much like her."
This was what the letter said:
[Loyalty [2]. This is Roina from the 3rd squad. My greetings to the squad leader.]
That was the end of the letter.
"Wait, Instructor you didn't have lunch yet, right?"
"That's right."
"Let me cook spicy braised chicken for you."
"Hoo?"
Minhyuk loved to eat to the point where he wanted to eat everything all by himself.
However, he knew the difference between the people he's grateful for and people who took advantage of him.
On top of that, he was also a bit reluctant to leave right away after doing his job.
Besides, the reason why I can cook is because he lent me the tableware and cooking utensils.
"Ah, could you also give me some hard bread, please?"
"...Boy, why don't you take my house too? Haha!"
It was a matter of fact that he had another purpose.
With that, Minhyuk started making spicy braised chicken.

Footnotes
[1] kkakdugi is cubed radish kimchi, this is delicious. The radish is cruncy and with the spicy and sour kimchi base hmmmmmhmm. Yeolmu kimchi on the other hand is young summer radish kimchi. I haven't tried this yet but I'm pretty sure that what they use was the greens instead of the radish itself.
[2] 중성 : Loyalty, faithfulness, fidelity. Used by soldiers to greet their superiors. Every soldier should be loyal to their superiors so they greet using this.
TL's corner!!!
Re: Trial types... Are any of you aware about these types of trials in rpg? I only played a mobile rpg and there's nothing like this so.... I
I decided to stick with announced and unannounced.
Also... Team Leader Park, don't be so sure all the time. You'll definitely get crazy once he gets it. ^^
