Chapter 13: Chicken Filled with Love

Translator: ChubbyCheeks

When Minhyuk went to Instructor Valen to get his plate, he received a letter and a red hair tie.

"Instructor Valen wanted me to deliver this to you."

Roina saw what Minhyuk brought and slowly reached her hand out to grab it. She looked at the hair tie and hurriedly checked the contents of the letter.

[I bought this because I thought it would look pretty on you. I think it should be my turn to treat you to a meal. It would be nice if we could meet at the entrance of Isbin Village at 19:00, three days later.]

Roina smiled widely.

A man has given a woman a hair tie as a gift. This meant a lot more than anybody could think of.

'You and me...'

She was wild with joy. She pressed the letter on her bosom and smiled.

Minhyuk watched her as he nibbled on his leftover fried chicken from yesterday.

'Now the two of you can handle the next steps. Huhu.'

He looked quite pleased with everything.

Someone appeared to fill the emptiness in the lonely life of Valen, and the other confirmed that the man she likes has her in his heart.

It was like his sister found him a good brother-in-law, anyway, Minhyuk was able to eat fried chicken and that was more than enough!

"Thanks, Minhyuk."

"Chomp?"

Minhyuk looked at her as he ate his chicken.

"It's all thanks to you."

If it wasn't for you, perhaps we would still keep our feelings to ourselves forever.

Roina smiled at him softly. She then quietly pulled something out of her military backpack.

It was a black leather armor.

[You have received Sylph's Leather Armor.]

[You have gained 4 reputation points.]

"Thank you very much!"

Like the last time, Minhyuk received it without any hesitation.

"Go on and check it."

Roina grinned at him as she gathered her long black hair and tied it tightly with her hair tie.

"He... You look pretty."

"Ah, really... That mouth of yours!"

"Check!"

Minhyuk immediately checked his item before Roina could say anything else.

(Sylph's Leather Armor)

Class: Rare

Restriction: None

Durability: 3,000/3,000

Defensive Power: 314

Special Abilities:

> STR +2, AGI +6

> When worn, Bardy Swordsmanship's skill level increases by +1

Description: A leather armor that's blessed with the power of the Sylph. It was handed down from generation to generation in Instructor Roina's family.

The agility that came with the Special Abilities was quite high. And there was even a +1 skill level for Bardy Swordsmanship when it was worn.

Minhyuk thought that it was because he had reached a certain amount of favorability and interaction with Roina that he received the Bardy Swordsmanship. And since he had built more favorability then he received the Sylph's Leather Armor.

He then checked the chapters of the Bardy Swordsmanship that have a +1 level increase.

"I'll use it well, Instructor."

Roina smiled widely at Minhyuk's words.

"Make sure you come back to play agai..."

Before Roina could even finish her words...

[The God of Athenae has entrusted you with a mission.]

[Please propose two quests to User Minhyuk.]

"......!"

"You're really a strange one, huh?"

"I'm really crying, Instructor."

"Don't yawn and squeeze it out!"

"Yes!"

Roina laughed defeatedly.

This bright young lad.

I want to help this young man.

Roina could predict it.

'Minhyuk would definitely go to the Twilight Graveyard since it clearly looks like a job related to eating, this kid thinks that his greatest happiness is in eating.'

Would a kid who thinks like that choose to receive the berserker quest?

No, definitely not.

And Roina knew what monster exists in the Twilight Graveyard.

The graveyard was one of the easiest dungeons.

She had heard from the other users about what appears at the end of the dungeon.

Should I tell him about it?

"When you go to Isbin Village go and meet an old man named Allon [2]."

"Allon?"

"Yeah, he gives out delicious yanggaeng [3] if he's in a good mood."

"Ya, yanggaeng...?!"

Roina nodded her head as Minhyuk's eyes grew the size of saucers.

He looks much more excited than when he received the legendary class quest!

'Wi, will he just give me something to eat?'

Yanggaeng is delicious too.

It has that soft and sweet taste that gently melts in your mouth.

His mouth was already watering.

"I have to go now, Instructor!"

"Okay, come back to play again."

"Yes!"

Minhyuk quickly left.

Roina watched his back as he left and bursted out laughing.

"Ahahahahahaha. I will bet my all, he's definitely going to the Twilight Graveyard!"

She said something that was very significant as she reached out and stroked her hair tie.

***

Minhyuk who was about to enter Isbin Village found out that 4 hours have already passed. He then immediately asked to be disconnected.

"Here's your cherry tomatoes."

Everyone quickly approached him. Minhyuk reached out for the tightly sealed cherry tomatoes and slowly started eating.

Oh Changwook was among those people who approached him.

"Have you left the Novice Zone?"

"I left just now. General, sir!"

"Woow..."

Changwook's fists trembled.

Ack, if he wasn't the son of the chairman I would have definitely given him a good punch!

"You should thank me, hyung."

"First and foremost, thank you. But why?"

"I got a rare armor and a weapon for you. I'm the only one who cares about you, right? You should be shedding tears because you're thankful, yeah?"

"You already have a rare armor and weapon?"

"Eh? What are you saying."

"I have a rare armor and weapon."

"How did you get a rare armor and weapon in the novice zone? It couldn't be a drop, right?"

"The NPC gave it to me?"

"......Huh?"

Oh Changwook's eyes widened. It was at that moment that a higher ranker could not even catch a glimpse of common sense from the story he heard.

'I heard that this guy only ate inside so why would an NPC give him that?'

Getting artifacts from NPCs was never an easy task. It was extremely difficult. They would know if you were intentionally trying to get close to them.

They were, in fact, very much like humans.

That was the reason why the items given by the NPCs were not established and well-known in the system.

"But wouldn't it be a jab to the rare items that your hyung got by buying? Let's hear about the attacking and defending power."

"Uhm, Valan has 211 attack power with STR +4, AGI +3 and a skill called Dauntless Strike..."

"Wa, wait. What did you say? How much was the attacking power?"

"The attacking power is 211."

"......That's impossible!"

Oh Changwook's eyes widened once more. Even the other people who were also playing Athenae were very shocked.

Footnotes

[1] 사기캐 - 사기 캐릭터 a fraud character, characters that are overly strong and invincible that they look like they're a fraud.

[2] The hangul for the name is 알론 and yes, I know that the manhwa did Arlon but I don't feel that it works well so I used Allon. But do tell me if you think of something better.

[3] 양갱 : yanggaeng or yokan is a sweet red bean jelly.

TL's corner!!!

식신 was used to describe the other class that you would get in the quest choices. It meant Big Eater if you search it in namu and is closely related to food fighter, a very fitting class for Minhyuk. Lol.

This chapter was not divided by parts anymore. Tbh I only divided it by two because I always write a lot in the footnotes. From now on I won't divide it by two parts (unless there are a A LOOOOOOOT of footnotes and TL rant lol)
