Chapter 330: The Soldiers’ Great Battle

Chapter 330: The Soldiers’ Great Battle

A High Class referred to a class that was much more stronger than the existing classes. For example, Genie was a ‘Whip Conjuror’ before she transferred to a High Class. After transferring to a High Class, it changed into ‘Whip Warrioress’. She received an additional 350 bonus stat points, and an increase in stats that suit the class Whip Warrioress. On top of that, she also received new skills, and a dramatic increase in skill level the moment she transferred to a High Class.

According to Genie’s analysis and research, the quality of stats and skills that would be bestowed to the player upon awakening to a High Class would depend on the trial that they cleared. Of course, all the players right now only knew that the High Class trials were similar. They were the only exceptions, since they were the only ones to go to the Demon World to undergo their High Class trials. This was all thanks to Great Sage Aruvel. He opened the door for them and guided them through this path. That was the place where more than half of their group had awakened.

However, the other rankers, with their exception, posted articles ‘about High Class’. The articles reported how much stats, skill levels, and skills had been added to their repertoire after transferring classes. Genie was able to compare the data of all the High Class rankers all over the world through these articles. In doing so, she came to a conclusion.

Genie realized that the people that completed average High Class trials and awakened would only receive a 250 to 270-point increase in stats. Their skills’ levels would also increase only by around two or three levels. Meanwhile, the players that underwent the lower trials for High Class would only receive around 200 to 230 stat points, and would only have around one to two levels increase in their skill levels.

In addition, there were those that had achieved higher stats and skill levels, despite transferring to similar High Classes. They were none other than the members of Let's Eat Sect. On average, the members of their guild had received around 300 to 340 stat points, with their skill levels increasing by around three to four levels, just as Genie experienced.

This was what Genie had concluded from all of the information available: ‘Everything depends on the trial that one takes to awaken to High Class.’. In other words, the rewards that they would receive would vary depending on the type of trial that they underwent. Thinking about that, it seemed like the members of Let's Eat Sect were very fortunate. No, it was extremely difficult to enter the Demon World, but they had Great Sage Aruvel. He guided them and told them about the places where they could transfer to High Class inside the Demon World.

‘It’s all thanks to Minhyuk.’

The moment Minhyuk assumed the position of Master, he brought them overwhelming advantages.

“But... why didn’t you make it public?” Carr questioned them.

Genie simply answered him, “To catch the enemy off-guard.”

In fact, they had aimed this ‘surprise’ for the local players. However, the Continent Cloud suddenly appeared and the war began. And now, their enemy had changed and became China. And China did not know any information about them at all. What did that mean?

‘We can surprise them with a big curveball.’

Genie’s eyes narrowed as she looked at each of them. She asked, “Anyone want to join us?”

All of them hesitated. In a way, it was like they were going to raise the prestige of the Let's Eat Sect.

“If you’re not going to help, then leave.”

Lucia was the first to raise her hand. She had no reason to refuse. This was a matter of their nation’s pride, not their own individual pride. The rankers that used to growl and bite at each other should join forces to help their country get out of this difficulty. Then, the people behind Lucia began to raise their hand one after the other. In the end, only Carr was left. However, he eventually raised his hand, despite being unwilling to, up until this point. It was only right for them to join forces and get rid of the disgrace that they had shown earlier.

“Let’s prepare for war now. I’m pretty sure the Chinese players are very angry after I told them, “Come if you can, you XXX bastards!”.”

“...?”

“...?”

“...?”

Everyone was shocked to hear Genie’s words.

‘She looks like a gentle puppy but...’

‘It seems like she’s also a beast.’

They quickly moved to prepare for the war.

***

The atmosphere in the Special Players Management Team was not good. Berdk, located in the center of the Continent Cloud, had been captured. This was a very harsh condition for Korea. After all, not only were siege weapons in that place, but also the Kharamis soldiers that could use them. There were a total of 800 Kharamis soldiers that were stronger and more proficient in killing than soldiers from other territories. With these 800 troops, China had plenty of opportunities to use them. But what was worse was...

“Tomorrow, the mission ‘Soldiers’ Great Battle’ will be issued.”

Missions would be released every 2-3 days inside the Continent Cloud. This was simply done to balance out the battle between China and Korea, which already had an overwhelming gap. These missions would be similar to competitions. If their country won, then their citizens would cheer, right?

Rabokki was something that was eaten with blood sausage and fried fritters. Minhyuk made rabokki first, as it was something that could be done easily and quickly. Then, he quickly took some blood sausage, liver, and innards from his inventory, before skillfully cutting them with his elaborate knife skills.

“N...No... how can food like that come out of your inventory?”

“I always carry some with me, in case I get hungry.”

“...”

Ellie was left speechless. My goodness! There was actually a person that carried blood sausage, liver, and innards 365 days a year! It did not end there. Ellie saw Minhyuk adding some squid, covered with batter, into boiling oil.

Sizzle!

Ah! The sound was clearly lively and shocking! Even Ellie jumped up a bit in shock the moment the squid made contact with the oil. She watched in rapture as the squid danced around in the oil. Minhyuk quickly scooped up the squid with a sieve and tapped it with his hands, his movements like a very experienced snack bar owner! With that, all of the dishes had been finished. Minhyuk had added some cheese in his rabokki, so he went to open the lid of the pan to check.

Shwaaaaaaa―

Steam rose from the pan showing the perfectly captivating scene of melted cheese inside. That was not the only attractive dish, even the blood sausage , liver and innards as well as the other fried fritters and fish cake soup lined up beside it were also eye-catching. Minhyuk grabbed his chopsticks and clamped some rabokki and cheese.

Shwaaaaaaa―

The noodles covered with the spicy rice cake sauce and cheese were easily pulled up by his chopsticks. Minhyuk quickly grabbed a plate and used it to support the noodles as he slurped them up.

“It’s well-soaked.”

Then, he grabbed some rice cakes and chomped on them. The texture was extremely chewy! As expected of rice cakes made with flour! After eating the rice cake, Minhyuk quickly stretched his chopsticks towards the fried seaweed rolls. He decided to taste the fried seaweed roll in its entirety without dipping it in anything.

Crunch―

The fried seaweed roll was still a bit greasy and warm when it entered his mouth. Oil spread in Minhyuk’s mouth, together with the unique and delightful flavor of the seaweed roll in every bite. Then, with the remaining half of the seaweed roll, he dipped it in the rabokki sauce and put it in his mouth again.

Crunch, crunch―

The bland and thick sauce easily swept away the greasiness of the fried seaweed roll. It was simply the perfect combination. Then, what happened if his throat got a little too dry? He would drink spoonfuls of warm fish cake soup.

“Kgghk! My energy is coming back! I’m getting energized!” Minhyuk shouted as he grabbed a skewer of fish cake before dipping it in soy sauce and eating it happily. Then, he turned his sights on the blood sausage. Blood sausage was best eaten with just a bit of salt at first. This would best showcase the soft and chewy texture of the blood sausage. Then, after tasting its original flavor, one could dip it in the rabokki’s sauce. Next was the liver. Liver had quite a dry texture, but what would happen if this dry texture met with the flavor of the rabokki sauce?

‘Its texture will become soft, and its flavor will turn spicy.’

Minhyuk smiled happily as he dipped the liver in the rabokki sauce. Just like that, he added the rice cake, blood sausage and fritters set to his rabokki and ate it happily. Then, the notifications rang.

[You have eaten a dish made solely for the Food God.]
