22 Ellie's Favorability

‘I’m so jealous...... How much luck did you receive when you were born......?’

Changwook thought of this as he continued to ask Minhyuk about what he received from winning the championship.Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

“Is that all? There’s nothing else?”

“I also received 10,000 achievement points.”

“T, ten thousand? I have only received 13,000 achievement points so far?!”

“Wow, hyung. You must really be bad at games.”

Changwook clenched his fist at Minhyuk when he heard his joking words. It wasn’t that he was bad at it, it was just Minhyuk that was too fraudulent. After all, achievement points couldn’t be received easily.

“That amount is already enough to get something really good. Well, everyone thought that all of the participants would just scatter around instead of killing the Minotaurus but... you killed it...”

“Ahem.”

Minhyuk shook his head as he searched through Athenae’s official homepage for more information.

‘Using achievement points to buy something delicious.’

[Go to the Chef’s Tower and use your achievement points to buy ingredients.]

[You can purchase ingredients with your achievement points in the Chef’s Tower.]

There were plenty of similar articles but all of them were filled with negative comments.

[Everyone, here’s a cool tip for you to avoid stepping on poop. It’s a stupid idea to buy ingredients from the Chef’s Tower using your achievement points.

fgjkadf31: Why is this a cool tip? If you’re not an idiot then you should know this, right?

Beanie’sDad: My house’s Beanie and the maltese, Kancho, next door also knows this.]

“Hmm?”

Minhyuk tilted his head in confusion.

Why is it stupid to buy ingredients using your achievement points?

He continuously checked additional information to help him understand things regarding the matter.

[Here are some of the reasons why you shouldn’t buy ingredients using your achievement points in the Chef’s Tower.

1) The special abilities that come with the ingredients are incredibly low compared to the achievement points needed to buy them. Furthermore, chefs do not have any other skills except for their buffing ability. Do we really need to buy a single consumable ingredient just for that?

2) Buying a chef’s hat, chef’s knife or a chef’s skill with your achievement points to increase your buffing ability is much better compared to buying ingredients, right?

These are the two main points. I have seen plenty of novice users buy ingredients without knowing anything to try and increase their cooking skills. They have failed miserably. Don’t do that.]

“Oho.”

Minhyuk rubbed his chin in thought.

“What are you going to buy with your achievement points?”

“Something delicious.”

“......With 10,000 points?”

“Yes.”

Minhyuk recalled that he received a quest from the coachman, Baran, about meeting with the blacksmith Ron. He would be somewhere near the towers so he could go and finish the quest on his way there.

“What delicious thing should I buy with my 10,000 points? Huhu......”

With 10,000 points, Changwook could already get quite a lot of rewards. But all of it would be exchanged with something delicious. A thought suddenly came to Changwook...

‘What kind of ingredient will you be able to get with 10,000 points?’

He was quite curious about what Minhyuk will get with all his points.

Minhyuk then checked his notification windows on his handphone. After he was warped to the awards ceremony, he was so obsessed about finding ways to leave the hall so he wasn’t able to listen properly to the notifications. It was fortunate that the users could check all of the notifications that they have heard in the game on their handphones.

[You have acquired 5.2 billion gold.]

[You have won the tournament.]

[You have gained 50 reputation points.]

[You have gained 5,000 achievement points.]

[You can now learn Ellie’s Swordsmanship.]

[You can request a small wish with Ellie.]

“5.2 billion gold? Does the Minotaurus really give this much gold?”

“No, I think it’s because it was an event monster this time. Just look at the achievement points.”

He had received a total of 15,000 achievement points. In addition, he was also given a chance to learn Ellie’s Swordsmanship, which was an epic skill.

“Wow. Ellie’s Swordsmanship. I’m so jealous...... I wish I could get an epic skill......”

Among all of Changwook’s skill, his strongest was only a unique skill. In fact, not many users could have epic skills even if they wanted to have one.

Then there was the reward about requesting a small wish from Ellie. Changwook pondered over it deeply before telling Minhyuk his thoughts.

“I got a good idea!”

“......?”

“Ask for an epic artifact or a quest that will lead to an epic artifact. Kyaa! Isn’t your hyung smart?”

Minhyuk, who was listening seriously, suddenly stood up.

Ellie’s eyes sparkled in excitement.

“Let him enter.”

“Yes!”

Cass turned around and quickly moved to get the foreigner.

Ellie was quite curious about him. He was someone that Len acknowledged. He even gave him the kitchen knife that she has bestowed upon him. And he was also a person with outstanding skill as what was seen when he won the tournament.

Not long after the leader of the Phoenix Knights left, they came back with the foreigner in tow. She saw him bow his head at her.

“You’re the foreigner, Minhyuk.”

“That’s right, Your Majesty.”

“Are you uncomfortable somewhere?”

“No, no. I’m alright.”

His body was continuously twitching.

“You might have heard of this already but I will say it again. You will be able to learn swordsmanship from me.”

“Yes, thank you. Your Majesty.”

Ellie looked at him strangely.

‘He doesn’t sound happy or excited?’

There were plenty of people who covet her swordsmanship. They would do anything for a chance to learn it but he sounded indifferent when he heard about it.

Then, she heard the foreigner say...

“Your Majesty. I heard that if I win the tournament then I could ask Your Majesty for a small wish?”

“......That’s right.”

Ellie grinned darkly when she heard his words.

‘They’re all the same. Len.”

The foreigner that received Len’s kitchen knife... she thought that he would be a bit special.

Len was someone who cared and loved her. He was a very pure man that he even did everything for her even if he had no sense of taste. He even did his best to increase his dexterity just so he could make a dish that could make her happy.

I thought that he would be just like him.

But he was not.

He was someone who desires something. There were many things that he could ask the Empress for with just that small wish.

“What do you want? A place where you could find a special treasure? Or do you want to take a few things from my treasure trove? Or do you want a title? Or hundreds of billions of gold? Tell me and I’ll give it to you.”

She became interested in him because he went and ate beef, but now her interest has disappeared. He was just a regular, greedy foreigner. The strangers were always like this.

They’re all the same.

The foreigner raised his head and looked at her with shining eyes.

He sounded sullen and indifferent when Ellie told him that she would teach him swordsmanship but now his eyes were shining with excitement. His voice was even filled with excitement.

“Your Majesty. It’s a difficult request, will it still be okay?”

“Tell me. I’m the Empress of the Eivelis Empire, Ellie. I will grant you your wish to the best of my abilities.”

The man was having a hard time hiding the smile on his face.

“Please give me the honor to eat spam!”

Ellie was left speechless when she heard his request. Even Ruth, who was staying at the sidelines, couldn’t help but turn speechless.

She asked him again, just to make sure.

“Spam......? You mean this ham?”

“Yeeees!”

He gulped as he nodded wildly.

The moment she heard his confirmation...

Grin━

She smiled and chuckled lightly.

Ruth suddenly turned his head to look at her.

She’s smiling, Her Majesty is smiling.

He did not know how long it had been since he saw her smile.

Then...

“Puhahahahaha!”

She hugged her stomach as she laughed loudly.

TL’s Corner!!!

Changwook... When will you ever learn? Lol. Minhyuk’s priority list is like this:

1 - Food; 2 - Food; 100 - Food.

You get me? LOLOL.

PR’s corner!

Black Dragon strikes again! I’d almost forgotten about Minhyuk’s dad. Good to know he’s still playing the game.
