Chapter 163: Minhyuk’s Activities

Minhyuk was taken aback when he saw the reaction of his two friends. Khan immediately came back to his senses as he directed what they would do next.

“We’ve easily broken through one difficult area. Let’s hurry along!”

They hurriedly moved while Minhyuk analyzed their dungeon plan.

‘Looking at the power of Deep (Burst) it seems like I can take on more monsters. So if I started to use Gryphon’s Cry from 500-m away from this point then the monsters will definitely come running and the area will be crowded with them. If I did it that way then I think we can break through this area faster, right?’

Minhyuk had asked his friends for ingredients so he believed that he had to help them achieve the maximum effect to the best of his abilities.

Meanwhile, the area suddenly felt hot as steam and flames suddenly sprung up.

“This is also one of the hardest areas. The Lava River.”

Shwaaaa!

They could see a river of lava in front of them that was releasing an endless amount of hot steam.

“Black Swan was not able to break through the 30 minute mark because of this area.”

“Then, what are we going to do?”

“The only thing that we can do is drink a cooling potion or use ice magic.”

Then, Khan and Locke started throwing the cooling potion in front of them one by one.

Clang━

Fwiiiiiiish!

Clang━

Fwiiiiiiish!

They constantly threw cooling potions in the piping hot lava in front of them! As a result, steam also rose constantly.

“If we throw the cooling potions non-stop then it will be able to freeze an area where we can step on. This way we can move on......”

“Isn’t that too inefficient?”

Locke and Khan nodded their heads in agreement when they heard Minhyuk’s question.

‘Minhyukie, he...... He’s definitely not just someone who only knows how to eat......’

Although he was obsessed with food, Minhyuk still knew how to analyze his surroundings and find the best way for him to solve his problems.

“But we don’t have any magic. Of course the cooling potion is also expensive at 1 platinum each but we have no other choice.”

“Hmm......”

Minhyuk rubbed his chin in thought. He pondered for a moment before reaching out behind him. His eyes were sparkling as if he had finally conceived a brilliant idea. His hand slowly gripped the handle of his frying pan...

“......Why’s that?”

“Look closely. See what this hyung’s going to do.”

Minhyuk approached the lava as he enlarged his frying pan.

[Frying Pan Gigantification.]

[You can adjust the size of your frying pan depending on the mana that you will input.]

He made the frying pan so large that it looked like it was a ship. Then...... He placed it on top of the lava.

Fwiiiiish!

Steam was quickly released as soon as the bottom of the frying pan met with the gurgling lava. However, the durability of the frying pan was endless and it would reset again in 24 hours. In addition, Minhyuk’s frying pan was sturdier and harder than regular frying pans.

Then, he threw a cooling potion inside the frying pan.

Crack, crack!

Frost quickly formed on top of the frying pan. After seeing that his plan was working well, Minhyuk climbed on top of the frying pan.

“Oppa got a car, so I’m picking you up~ Kids, get in!”

“......”

“......”

Khan and Locke speechlessly climbed on top of the frying pan.

Then, Minhyuk handed a rope to Kongie, who he had summoned earlier. Kongie flew up until he reached a height that was high enough that the heat of the lava would not affect him. He quickly went to the other side of the river and tied the rope to a sturdy rock. Khan, Locke and Minhyuk were finally able to arrive safely on the other side by pulling on the rope that Kongie had tied.

“We’ve already...... shortened our time by 13 minutes......”

Khan mumbled to himself as if he couldn’t believe the fact that they had easily shortened the time by that much. Time Attack Dungeon challengers could check their progress real-time just by looking at the top left corner of their vision.

Currently, they had already entered the dungeon for only 34 minutes. And it was even during the time where Minhyuk was still trying to adapt and understand the dungeon.

Not long after, they had reached the final boss’ room. The room where the Dullahan King was located.

Bang!

As usual, the huge Dullahan King that was three times larger than the regular Dullahan had dropped from the sky in front of them.

Bang!

[Apologize with your death, foolish humans!]

Powerful sword lights flew from all directions as the Dullahan King swung his sword strongly.

Minhyuk quickly dodged the incoming swords.

‘I heard that the Dullahan King has a higher and more ridiculous level of defense compared to its attack so that’s why they were having a hard time with him. And there’s also that sword.’

Minhyuk’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the greatsword that the Dullahan King was wielding. Generally, it would be hard for anyone to swing such a huge greatsword easily if they did not have the Greatsword Mastery Passive Skill that Minhyuk had.

‘Right. I should try that.’

President Kang Taehoon pulled his mobile phone closely towards his face once more. He couldn’t believe what he had just seen. He was too shocked that he couldn’t help but jump to his feet. At the exact same moment, gasps of shock rang loudly in the meeting room.

Team Leader Park Minggyu also checked his mobile phone with a bit of trepidation.

[America’s Black Swan Team: 43 minutes 38 seconds. Rank: 1st.]

[South Korea’s Legend Team: 47 minutes 24 seconds. Rank: 2nd.]

“C, crazy......!”

Even he couldn’t believe the rankings on his mobile phone. Just a few moments had passed ever since they saw the Legend Team staying firmly on the 14th place because they couldn’t go past the one hour threshold. However, right now, Legend Team climbed so suddenly to 2nd place and was still chasing for the top spot.

“Th, the comments are going crazy!”

And along with those words, they could hear a loud commotion from the outside.

“Waaaaaaaaaah!”

“Legend, let’s gooooo!”

“Pull yourself together! Super powers!”

They heard voices of the regular employees outside loud and clear.

Kang Taehoon’s face twitched as he struggled to maintain his aloofness. But deep inside, he could feel something hot bursting from his chest. If it weren’t for his position, he would also want to scream as loud as them. He closed his eyes for a moment to calm his heart but he still couldn’t stop his mouth from twitching in joy.

It’s not over yet. South Korea can still be the game powerhouse.

“Turn on the screen.”

“Yes!”

The people in the meeting room moved quickly to set up the monitor. As soon as they turned it on, they could see that they were only starting their second attack.

“......They changed it.”

Kang Taehoon caught what Team Leader Park murmured to himself.

“What is it?”

“The member. They took Genie out and put User Minhyuk in.”

“The Food God?”

“Yes.”

“Just with the addition of one Food God, their strength changed that much?”

“Let me open his status window for you.”

All of the team leaders present couldn’t help but turn speechless when they saw the status window on the screen.

“H, his strength and his level looks ridiculously monstrous.”

“OMG. What kind of Holy Power and Dexterity is that......”

Everyone was once again left speechless.

Then, Department Head Kim Dae-il suddenly spoke.

“Isn’t this a complete balance breaker? Isn’t this enough for other users to complain? Even if his class is a God class isn’t this still too much?”

“......”

The others nodded their heads when they heard his words except for Team Leader Park. Team Leader Park was the only one who shook his head.

“The Food God is not a balance breaker.”

Team Leader Park contradicted him confidently as he stood up from his seat. The scene in the monitor showed Minhyuk using Gryphon’s Cry as he dragged the aggro of the mob monsters and killed them all at once.

“That’s not a balance breaker?”

However, Team Leader Park’s expression still remained the same.

“Food God is a non-combatant job class.”

“That’s right. That’s why it’s so weird. He’s a non-combatant, but he’s that strong?”

“Yes. That’s right. He is ridiculously strong. But before we go to that part let me ask you. Does he currently have an ‘Attack Skill’ related to the Food God Class?”

“......Huh, there’s none?”

The people all around him looked around for the answer but it was President Kang Taehoon who answered.

“There’s none.”

“......”

“However, please look at this. Generally, stats for people around Lv300 are usually only at 400. But User Minhyuk broke through that by eating a lot of medicine, training a lot and clearing quests. That’s why he is much stronger than what we had expected. Are you telling me that this is a balance breaker? Anyone who eats medicines like he was eating a normal meal would be as strong as that.”

“......”

Department Head Kim Dae-il was left speechless.

The strength of this user was gained through his own perseverance and power and not through his job class’ special privilege.

And Team Leader Park also added......

“If you look closely at him, you can also see that all of his artifacts are incredible. He has Barraca’s Greatsword, Armor of Immortality and the Legendary Frying Pan. And his attack skill is also Ellie’s Swordsmanship. Do you still think that this is a special privilege of the Food God job class?”

“......No.”

Team Leader Park nodded his head.

“That’s right. Balance breaker? This is not a planned balance breaker. This is all thanks to the user’s perseverance. We don’t call this a balance breaker. Isn’t that what you used to say?”

Team Leader Park took a deep breath as he looked around and said.

“That user is really cool.”

TL’s corner!

I can feel that Team Leader Park has switched to his doting father mode. Yayy! Go Team Leader Park, defend our Minhyukie!
