Chapter 28: Food Fighter VS King of Mukbang

'Do the others also feel what I'm feeling when they watch him?'

No, he was mistaken.

The others were already thinking about eating the snacks from the snackbar once Minhyuk left.

Most of the people who watched mukbang were people who were on a diet. But Minhyuk's mukbang has the power to destroy a person's diet!

"Chew, chew!"

I can't lose!

Binz started to eat again. Whenever he looked at Minhyuk he could feel a strong surge of hunger.

Minhyuk suddenly shouted...

"Uncle! Another 10 servings of tteoktwisun!"

"H, here...! I want 10 servings too!"

The eating battle between the two people has started.

Binz ate to his heart's content.

Crunch, crunch!

Fritters.

Sundae.

Tteokbokki...!

Before he could even finish all of it up...

"Uncle, please give me 10 more servings. Ah no add another 5 more over here~!"

"C, customer-nim... are you alright?"

"......I haven't eaten half my fill yet? Uncle, your eomuk over here is already decreasing."

"Ahhh...... Yes......"

The owner then added more food.

Binz has already eaten a lot. His stomach started to feel full until he felt that he could not eat anymore.

'W, what the hell...'

Who the hell is this guy?

Binz looked at him suspiciously with an annoyed frown on his face.

In the end, he placed down his skewer and gave up on eating eomuk.

Clack!

"Hoo......"

He breathed a sigh as he patted his bloated stomach. Then he saw Minhyuk, who was still eating, right next to him.

'...So curious.'

What is this man's identity?

"Excuse me. Nim."

Binz called out to him as he fixed a smile on his face. However, Minhyuk did not answer and only continued to eat.

"Nim!"

He called out a little louder, however Minhyuk was still eating non-stop without any indication of answering him.

'H, his concentration is solely devoted to food...!'

Nothing could distract him from eating. Only food can distract him!

But he was so curious that he raised his hand and tapped him on the shoulder.

"Nim, can you tell me your nickname..."

Then...

Slap!

Minhyuk slapped his hands away from his shoulder. He then looked at him fiercely.

"Ah, Nim. Why did you touch me while I was eating? Do you want me to stab you with the skewer until you die?"

Binz trembled in fright.

'Y, you won't be able to live if you touch him w, while he's eating...!'

For real.

There was a fierce aura surrounding Minhyuk. It was an aura that was screaming: Touch me and you die.

'I'm still... A bit famous you know...'

But Minhyuk did not even give him 1% of attention. Ah, no. He did not even give him 0.00001% of attention.

Binz and his bloated stomach looked at Minhyuk who was still eating deliciously.

***

"M, my level has increased by 31 in total!"

'This uncle. He's been talking since earlier. It's noisy.'

Minhyuk, who was still eating diligently, still did not have any shred of interest in what the owner was saying.

"Uncle. Please give me 10 more servings of this, 10 more!"

He said that whilst thinking of another set of servings of the street snacks, however a bolt out of the blue struck him down.

"C, customer-nim... I'm sorry but we are out of ingredients."

"Eh?! What did you say?! I haven't even had half of it yet!!!!"

Minhyuk looked very desperate.

The crispy fritters, the chewy sundae and the hot eomuk!!! I want to eat more!

"Customer-nim, you ate 70 servings of tteokboki, 250 pieces of eomuk, 70 servings of sundae, and 80 servings of fritters..."

"Ha......I could eat 100 more servings."

"......"

Binz and the owner were both left speechless. Even the users standing behind them have shut their mouths for a moment.

"That's too bad. How much do I have to pay?"

"......!"

Minhyuk's eyes widened in surprise.

"Let's first get out of here. What if someone else took it."

However, Minhyuk wasn't a stupid boy who would straight up follow a stranger at the mere mention of food!

So he thought about things rationally.

Binz doesn't look like a bad person and he doesn't have any reason to hurt me. Besides he looks like he's not lying.

Minhyuk nodded his head.

"That's right. We should eat it before anyone else sees it...!"

Whisper, whisper.

Minhyuk talked to Binz in a small voice so no one would be able to listen to them.

Binz grinned at him.

Minhyuk looked as if he was a child who stole delicious food from his mom and ate it secretly with his friend.

"Grab my hand."

Minhyuk and Binz grabbed each other's hands.

"Huh...? Huuuuuuuh......!"

"I, Impossible!"

Then the two of them disappeared in a flash of light.

***

When Minhyuk opened his eyes, he was already inside a room in an inn.

The inn was usually used as a place where users log-out. If they designated their room in the inn as a return point they would be able to return to their rooms once they tear their return scrolls.

"......Your type."

Minhyuk covered his body with his arms as he warily looked at Binz.

"Ah, no... I have this place designated as my return point so it will be easy for me to log-out!"

"Huhuhu, sure. If it's just the two of us here then we will be able to eat in peace. Ah, I'm Minhyuk."

"Yes, I'm Binz."

Minhyuk laughed as he took off his mask. Then he looked at Binz in anticipation.

Grin.

Binz's lips curled up in a smile.

'This person... is really interesting.'

He then pulled something out of his chest pockets.

It was none other than...

Pizza Bread.

"I made it. Please have some, Nim."

"A, are you an angel?!"

"Am I an angel?"

Minhyuk was so excited.

Pizza bread.

It was an imitation of pizza, however it was still quite different from it. There are times when people crave more after pizza bread instead of pizza.

When talking about pizza bread, everyone would remember their childhood days. Around the time when they were attending elementary to high school.

Parents usually gave away pizza bread because their son became the class president. They would prepare it whenever they went out for picnics.

Pizza bread was also the best when your hunger was at its peak. It was the go-to food after PE classes.

Minhyuk smiled happily at the pizza bread that he received.

However, he soon had a strange expression on his face.

"...Huh?"

He looked at the pizza bread closely.

There was only one reason why he looked at it strangely.

'The color is different...?'

It was definitely different.

The color surrounding the pizza bread was white. Minhyuk scrutinized it deeply.

I can smell the scent of catsup, mayonnaise and bread. But, there's something thick and soft in here.

"This..."

"Huhu, did you realize it?"

Binz was grinning.

"This bread is made out of the Sun's Wheat. It's a specialty here in Isbin Village."

"The Sun's Wheat?"

"Yes. Just like in reality, there are also specialties in every area. There is one specialty per area in Athenae. And this is Isbin Village's specialty."

"Ho."

That is quite interesting information.

"Plus, bread made out of the Sun's Wheat is much more delicious."

Binz laughed mischievously. His last sentence was uttered in a whisper.

'Much more delicious... I can't wait...!'

The notifications rang as Minhyuk placed the pizza bread in his mouth.

[Please select the main ingredients for this meal.]

[Sun's Wheat, ham, onion, parsley powder... redacted.]

'Sun's Wheat.'
