20 Something That Should Never Be Done
An hour ago.
Minhyuk was smiling faintly. The weather might be cold but his hands were warm thanks to the sweet potato latte that was in his hands.
As soon as he accessed the game, he used all of his remaining sweet potatoes to make sweet potato latte.
The sweet potato latte was warm and sweet. It tastes strongly of sweet potato. One could buy a cup of this at a cafe for around 4,000~5,000 won.
"Hehe, I'll definitely be frugal."
He wanted to savor it as long as possible since he used all of the remaining sweet potatoes he had to make this. In addition, he also used the golden sweet potato in this sweet potato latte.
"Hoo, hoo."
Minhyuk poured some of the sweet potato latte in a disposable paper cup then he proceeded to walk to the place where the preliminaries would be held.
First cup finished, refilled.
Second cup finished, refilled.
Third cup finished, refilled.
"Ah, it's so delicious~"
He hummed a song as he stood in a long line and waited for his turn. Then he started to drink his sweet potato latte again. A female user that was standing behind him was quite shocked to see it.
'My god... He kept on refilling and drinking that hot drink every 30 seconds!'
Then she heard Minhyuk murmuring.
"I'm not this satisfied since I have to be frugal with it. But I still have to save it so I can drink it for a longer time."
"......!"
The woman turned around and talked to the person standing behind her. That person was someone who came with her.
"The man in front of me is so weird. He already one-shotted 20 cups of sweet latte but then he said that he had a hard time enjoying it since he was trying to save it for later."
"......!"
The distance between Minhyuk and the two people had increased. Then, it was already his turn.
"Next, please."
Minhyuk went inside when he heard the voice. As he walked towards where the voice was, Minhyuk tried to refill his cup of sweet potato latte.
[True Worth of Food.]
[You have acquired +20 STM, +1 WIS, +1 INT.]
But Minhyuk did not even care about it. It only meant one thing if the notifications were heard. It meant that he had already finished eating.
"Aaaaack!"
"What's wrong? Are there any problems?"
"I drank all of my sweet potato latte...... Hnngh!"
Minhyuk blamed himself.
'How can I be like this......'
He waited for 20 minutes and moved a total distance of 500m. In that amount of time he drank 40 cups of sweet potato latte.
My sweet and warm sweet potato latte.
"I want to drink more......"
Minhyuk stood up. He was in a kneeling position since he flopped down the ground after he realized that he finished all of his sweet potato latte.
"Hoo..."
"Y, you're not going to cry, right?"
"Yes, I'm fine. I'm well in both mind and body. I was going to give you some sweet potato latte later but..."
"Then, shall we start the preliminaries?"
"Ah, yes."
Hamel told him a brief description of what was to come. There would be three gates and there was a time limit.el opened the first gate and went inside.
"The first gate is simple. You just have to hunt a Lv80 Akus. It might be a bit tougher to hunt for low-leveled people but if you take your time and be careful enough then you'll be able to hunt enough."
Minhyuk kicked the ground in a fuss.
Because I'm hungry!
Stab!
A few seconds after Hamel finished speaking...
An Akus already collapsed.
Thuuuud!
'......Heok?!'
Hamel, who was wondering how such a weird person came in, suddenly became shocked. But he still opened the second gate with a big smile on his face.
"You can now proceed in the second gate. However, it's inside a forest. You have to find a clue to get out of this forest."
"Oooooooh."
Minhyuk was in awe. There was only one reason.
Because there were various things that could be collected from a forest!
"......?"
Hamel was quite surprised when he saw him pull a hoe out and began digging.
'H, how did he know?!'
He was astonished. The way out of this labyrinth of a forest was simple. Some of the things that were growing in here were quite different from the ordinary ones. The gate would open once he touched it.
'As soon as he entered?! Does he have a navigation skill?!'
Minhyuk began digging for herbs and wild vegetables with his hoe.
Tap!
Tap!
"Ookiikii..."
The Monk made eye contact with Minhyuk who was looking at it warmly.
"You're a really good guy, and you're also handsome."
"Kii? Kiikii!"
The Monk waved its hands. Then it stretched its chest and tapped on it.
"Ah, you're a female? You're really pretty, so cute."
"Kiii..."
The Monk smiled shyly.
In Hamel's perspective, Minhyuk was an extremely handsome man.
Besides, the female Monks were extremely active compared to male Monks.
Then...
"Ookiikii!"
The Monk suddenly ran somewhere then came back with bananas in its arms. The Monk then placed the bananas in his arms.
"Is this for oppa?"
"Kiikii......."
The Monk poked its toes on the ground and smiled shyly.
Minhyuk stroked its head then walked outside.
The Monk twirled in its place then gave a shy ookiikii cry.
Minhyuk came out smiling happily with a bunch of bananas in his arms.
"But why did it give me a lot of bananas? I can't believe that it gave me this. I'm a bit sorry that it gave me this much."
"There's a meaning when a Monk gives an armful of bananas to someone."
"What does it mean?"
"I want to mate with you tonight. If you accept it then it means it's a yes."

Radem scratched his head.
"Uhm..."
"Hmm."
Hamel had already experienced it and he also watched the video with Radem.
"H, he's strong..."
"Y, yeah? You're right about him being a special foreigner."
My god. It took him almost 30 minutes because he had to dig up those wild vegetables and herbs and even eat those bananas.
His strength was clearly obvious. It was even overwhelming. However, why was that the case?
"He's strong but I wouldn't want to recommend him to the Knights."
"I understand."
"He will most likely try and eat the Phoenix."
"Yes..."
Radem suddenly remembered something.
"Ah, how long will it take him to clear all of the gates if he did not do all of those unnecessary things?"
"This is my personal opinion but..."
Hamel spoke very carefully.
"He seems to be much stronger than Lucia."
***
The Monk recalled what happened earlier.
He was a really handsome male monkey. Her heart trembled when he stroked her head and smiled at her.
In addition, Monks were considered to be gentle creatures. However, they became aggressive because humans tried to kill them.
The Monk went to the riverside and washed herself clean.
She cleaned every nook and cranny.
After she applied some grass leaves on her body and dried her fur well, she now was a fragrant Monk.
Then, she climbed up the tree and watched the place where the warrior left. Her face suddenly turned red when she thought of the thick night(?) that would happen when he returned.
"Kiikiikii!"
She gave out a shy cry.
At that moment, Hamel came through the third gate with other qualifiers. He tilted his head in puzzlement.
"......Where did the Monks go?"
The Monks’ attacks should have been coming right as they entered but no Monks could be seen.
The Monk was just standing there staring at the door.
Hamel's sight met with the eyes of the Monk. Then, he saw the Monk pointing towards the door.
"Ookiikii!"
'Don't interrupt me. Just get out of here. I don't know when he'll come back!'
Hamel was at a loss for words. Then his jaw dropped to the ground when he saw the flower on the Monk's ear. His hands supported his forehead.
"......I'm really going to freak out."
He did not know whether the Monk knew what was going through his mind but it just continued to stare at the door and shyly put its hair(?) behind her ear.
