[All skills and abilities related to Dexterity will have a 40% improvement.]

It was literally a sharp increase in the numbers. Originally, there was only a 10% improvement every 100 points increased in DEX. However, it suddenly increased to 40% after it reached 1000. In other words, if the power of Minhyuk’s skills and abilities related to DEX were originally at 10, right now they would become 20.

But that wasn’t the end to the notifications.

[A special privilege will be generated for a random skill picked out from your skills and abilities related to DEX. Your skills and abilities related to your Food Fighter job class are excluded from the random picking.]

[The Beginner’s Bandaging has been randomly selected.]

[You can now view the sealed special privilege.]

Minhyuk quickly opened the Beginner’s Bandaging Skill.

(Beginner’s Bandaging)

Passive Skill

Level: 4

Effects:

━ Wound recovery +1.8%+1%

━ +0.6 times acceleration on the slow recovery pace.

Sealed Special Privilege: Material restoration.

‘Huh? Material restoration?’

Minhyuk looked at it strangely before clicking on it. Fortunately, it opened without a hitch despite its name saying that it was sealed.

(Material Restoration)

Special Privilege

Effects: It can restore all materials and ingredients that have been spoiled, inedible or damaged such as bruised fruit, meat that was left out at room temperature, or even spoiled milk.

Minhyuk’s hands trembled when he read the effects.

‘Wow......! This is really good!’

The special privilege that he got for the Beginner’s Bandaging skill was really really awesome.

In our daily lives, we would never buy spoiled meat and milk or bruised fruits. Improperly storing these materials would eventually fade and rot over time.

However, the special privilege could allow him to return these ingredients to their peak state. But in order for him to do so, he would need to be at the intermediate level in his bandaging skills. In addition, this special privilege was randomly picked among his skills and abilities that were related to DEX. It even excluded the skills he had in his Food Fighter job class.

I didn’t know that there would be another special privilege after the first one.

After he finished checking everything, Minhyuk was left in deep thought.

‘I can’t believe that he cried while he was eating......!’

Ron had never seen anyone quite like him in all of the years that he’d been alive.

“Boy, you must really like food.”

“Hehe, that’s right!”

Minhyuk nodded his head as if answering in agreement was still not enough to show his love for food.

“Actually, there’s this legend that has been going around since long ago.”

“A legend?”

Minhyuk’s nose twitched, he could definitely smell the scent of another quest.

Ron shook his head at him.

“There’s only one mine near the vicinity of the Kingdom of Barras and it was said that there was a chocolate tree that will never wither in there.”

“......Cho, chocolate tree. Did you say chocolate tree?!”

“Chocolate?!”

Both Minhyuk and Hyemin reacted at the same time to the word chocolate. Ron shook his head helplessly as he explained it to them seriously.

“Yeah. They said that no matter how much you eat chocolate from the chocolate tree, there will always be chocolate the next day. I don’t know if this will count as proof but if you go and mine in the Brethni Mines, you can dig up iron ores but sometimes you will be able to dig up chocolate ores along with the iron ores.”

“Wow!”

“Woooow!”

Minhyuk and Hyemin both let out gasps of admiration.

Then his mind started to wander and imagine...

‘If I eat a lot today, chocolate will still grow the next day......!’

Today I can eat just the chocolate, tomorrow I can melt the chocolate and eat it like it was the devil’s jam, Nutella! I can also make chocopie with the chocolate and eat it deliciously!

“Chocolate...... If you freeze it...... then it would be the best.”

Minhyuk and Hyemin both licked their lips and gulped down their saliva. Then Hyemin suddenly said...

“No! Chocolate tastes better if it’s melted. It’s more delicious if you suck the chocolate on each finger after every bite!”

“That’s good too!”

“Hehe!”

Ron interjected in their conversation.

“The most important thing is that the chocolate tree still has many abilities that are way beyond what anyone can imagine. I think one of the skills was ‘Can Cure Someone at Death’s Door all at Once.’ or so I’ve heard?”

“Ooooooh.”

“There’s a miner named Leton. Boy, why don’t you go and meet with him?”

Ring!

“......What did you ask him to make you? Huh? A sword would be great. A sword with a dragon motif! Waaah, it’s so cool even if I’m just imagining it. Wow! Or is it a shield? Invincible shield! Can defend against anything! Kyaa, I’m really jealous......”

“But I asked him to make me a frying pan though?”

“That’s right. A frying pan is really coo......”

He rubbed his ears hard, Changwook thought that he might have misheard what Minhyuk said.

“W, what......?”

“I asked him to make me a frying pan. Pfft. He even readily accepted my difficult request.”

“B, by any chance... Did he look like he wanted to beat you with a frying pan?”

“Actually, he had tears in his eyes.”

Changwook suddenly felt a sense of camaraderie with Hyemin’sDad.

‘You were dumbfounded, right......? Each and every single day I can feel this sense of loss and dumbfoundedness too.’

Without knowing what’s going through his mind and heart, Minhyuk just continued to talk.

“Frying pan. I can’t wait for it!”

***

Horden Guild’s Bronny. He was known as Lee Sangmin in real life.

Before he accessed the game...

‘I think I have 30 minutes until the appointment?’

It was the appointment with Card, who contacted him not too long ago!

He asked them to meet at the Kingdom of Barras. Their meeting place was a shabby inn located in the kingdom.

In the meantime, he went and approached his father who was reading the newspaper. He wanted to ask about the user, who looked like Kang Minhyuk, who he PKed and robbed off of all the items recently.

“Dad.”

“What’s wrong, did you have another fight?!”

It was a scolding just from the get go! This just showed how much fighting and accidents Brony have done despite his age.

“N, no. It’s not that. I was just curious about something.”

“You’re curious? I can’t believe that there’s something that you’re curious about in your life. This lowly one is very thrilled.”

“......”

“Why?”

“......No, nothing.”

Lee Sangmin suddenly realized what sorrow truly was. Then he carefully asked him...

“Do you remember Kang Minhyuk? The guy who took my money.”

“Of course I remember. Didn’t he rip you off of your money together with your friends? Weren’t there at least 20 people who he hit and begged for forgiveness from him? I, your dad, even want to remove you from the family register at that time but I endured out of pity for you.”

He was dumbfounded. For a moment, Lee Sangmin thought that he was just a child picked up from the streets by his stinking father.

Why is he hitting me with these facts?

“But Dad, you told me back then... Don’t ever touch him again if you don’t want our house to fall down in ruins. How can he even make our house fall if I touch him again. No. What did his dad do that he can even make our house fall to ruins if I ever did that again?”

His father placed his newspaper down as he heaved a huge sigh.

“It has been a long time ago. And you’re old enough to not talk around so foolishly. Right?”

“Ah, yes. Well, I have grown up.”

“I’d like to believe so. Even the next door neighbor’s stinking dog has grown up... Anyway.”

He looked around for a moment.

“What mobile phone do you use?”

“It’s from Ilhwa Group.”

“Your laptop?”

“Ilhwa Group.”

“The TV in front of us right now?”

“The TV is from Ilhwa, right?”

Ilhwa Group!

There was no household that this group could not reach. Even the groceries are from Ilhwa! Household appliances? Ilhwa! There was even a saying that Everything is from Ilhwa Group.

But, why is my father asking me about all of these things?

Lee Sangmin was already getting frustrated.

“Ah. Why do you keep on asking me about this nonsense.”

“It’s not nonsense. Even this lowly one still could not believe it.”

“Huh? What are you saying?”

At his question, his father grinned at him mockingly.

“That child’s father is Kang Minhoo, the CEO of Ilhwa Group.”

“......”

TL’s Corner!!!

Well, well... what a rich person. No wonder Minhyuk has a lot of money in the bank. Please hire me as a nanny. Or just someone who will wipe the floor. Thanks. LOL.

PR’s corner!

Hmm...would Kang Minhoo be the Steve Jobs, or Jeff Bezos of their world?
