Chapter 887
Just like usual, discussions about the special players and the future direction of Athenaes story took place inside Joy Co. Ltd.s conference room.
Then, lets do it this way for that part. Kang Taehoon gave his approval after silently listening to the discussions and suggestions of each team leader and director. However, as he sat calmly in his chair, he recalled one of the players.
So, he asked, Player Minhyuk he has received the recognition of quite a few gods, no?
Kang Taehoons eyes turned to Team Leader Park Minggyu. He was confident that Team Leader Park had already checked and confirmed the situation from the beginning until the end.
Thats right. Minhyuk has received the recognition of the gods that did not believe and trust in him after he successfully attacked Argalis Dungeon, a dungeon that not even the gods could clear in the Land of the Gods.
Thats amazing. President Kang Taehoon was impressed.
What kind of beings were the gods? They were the most arrogant and prideful beings in Athenae. Ordinary players would probably never meet a God for the rest of their lives. But these very same gods had recognized the Food God as the rightful descendant of the Battle God.
Then, Minggyu suddenly said, President, I have some additional things to report to you.
President Kang Taehoon looked at him in doubt. Based on Team Leader Park Minggyus personality and nature, if he had something to report, he would have already said it right after the meeting commenced. But he only opened his mouth right when the meeting was about to end.
I was hesitating if I should report this or not.
Huh? What is it?
We have confirmed that Player Minhyuk has obtained the authority to run a God-rank dungeon once.Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com
The authority to run a God-rank dungeon
Some people, including President Kang Taehoon, were startled when they heard those words. However, even though they were pretty shocked, it was still debatable whether this topic was important enough to be discussed in the conference room.
The level of Athenae players had soared tremendously. God-rank artifacts? God-grade skills? Over a hundred players in the game had obtained those that carried the name of God now. That was even more so the case for cooking ingredients. Since this type of item was a consumable, more than 300 of them had been released in the game.
Its possible to obtain the authority to run a God-rank dungeon somewhere other than Argalis Dungeon, no?
No authority to run a God-rank dungeon was listed among the rewards for Argalis Dungeon. This reward allowed those pursuing quests related to God of Dungeons Evas to proceed further, and it was not that uncommon.
Team Leader Park explained the exact details of the story to the rest of the people in the conference room.
So, youre saying that Evas soul gave the authority to run a God-rank dungeon once to the Food God as an apology?
Thats right.
Evas would not consider it a waste to give this reward to Minhyuk. After all, Minhyuk was the one who cleared the extremely difficult Argalis Dungeon.
If its a problem, then it would become a problem. But if it is not, then it wouldnt matter at all.
Hence, Team Leader Park Minggyu was conflicted and wondered if he should report the matter.
Evas authority to rule a God-rank dungeon is better than ordinary authority to rule God-rank dungeons.
Team Leader Park nodded.
Even if an ordinary player obtained the authority to rule a God-rank dungeon, they would not be able to use it properly.
Hearing what Kang Taehoon said, Park Minggyu added, Ordinary players could use the mobs that are given in God-rank dungeons. However, for named monsters or Named NPCs that would become quasi-boss and boss-level beings, they had to be those tamed by the player themselves or those working under them.
A collective groan rang out when they heard the word vassal.
Hnggh What would happen if Spear God Ben becomes the boss mob? asked one of the team leaders, who belatedly realized the seriousness of the matter.
Minggyus face flashed with a bitter expression. If thats the only problem, then we should all be relieved. However, there is a high chance that the Spear God, the Fallen Wretched Emperor, the Great Demon, and many more will only become a quasi-boss mob.
...
...
Well the boss mob will most likely be Player Minhyuk.
...
...
Everyone in the conference room looked like they had been hit on the head.
President Kang Taehoon sighed lightly. All we can hope for is Player Minyuk to run the dungeon normally.
Everyone agreed with the presidents words. However, Team Leader Park, whose face had grown even more bitter, said, President, I still have one more problem.
Another problem?
Yes.
Everyone here knows Player Minhyuk has obtained a ticket to allow him entry to the Field of the Gods, right?
This was still within Kang Taehoons expectations. The Argalis Dungeon was a place that could make ones dreams come true.
And Player Minhyuks dream is, without a doubt, related to eating.
Because of that, he already expected the man to be able to reach the Field of the Gods. However, even if that were the case, the duration at which he could stay inside the Field of the Gods would be very short. Furthermore
Arent the crops growing in the Field of the Gods much harder to harvest than ordinary crops?
That was right. In addition, the much harder-to-harvest part here did not mean that it was because the crops had a higher grade than normal. Assuming that the same God-grade ingredient was planted in the Field of the Gods and an ordinary field, the crops that grew in the Field of the Gods would be 1.5x harder to harvest.
Well, considering Player Minhyuks high level of DEX, he would definitely be able to harvest quite a lot.
However, God of Dungeons Bentley broke the rules and stormed inside the dungeon. Because of that, the all-quest skip condition was added to the clearing conditions of the dungeon. For that same reason, the duration of his stay in the Field of the Gods has increased significantly.
A solemn expression appeared on President Kang Taehoons face.
Just as its name suggested, the Field of the Gods was a land filled with God-grade ingredients. Of course, not all of them were categorized as God-grade ingredients, but there were quite a few low-quality ingredients that could only exert powers and abilities on par with legendary-grade ones in the field.
With cold sweat dripping down his back, Park Minggyu said, What if What if Player Minhyuk does something big by combining the ingredients that he will acquire from the Field of the Gods and the authority to rule a God-rank dungeon? he gulped dryly and continued, If that happened, then our overtime is as good as sealed.
A dark and solemn expression flashed in the faces of everyone present. Some of the team leaders even started to shed tears at the thought.

Isnt this going to be very crazy?
If this skill could be combined, then it would definitely produce a very ridiculous and crazy skill. Finally, Minhyuk clicked the complete button.
[The suitability of the skill combination is being determined.]
[Determining 6%... 15%... 25%... 38%...]
[The skills can be combined!]
[The combination success rate will now be determined!]
[The combination success rate is at 3%!]
[You have twenty attempts to combine the skills!]
[If the skill combination fails, you can no longer try any combination of the skill 1 + skill 2 varieties you have attempted.]
Minhyuk took a deep breath. It has been a while since he found something that he truly wanted to obtain. He stared at the hologram screen momentarily before clicking the attempt combination button.
[Attempting combination.]
Light engulfed the two skills flashing on the hologram screen. However, a red light suddenly covered the entire screen.
[Combination failed!]
However, it did not stop there.
[Attempting combination.]
[Combination failed]

[Attempting combination.]
[Combination failed]
Keuaaaaaaack!
Ten failed attempts in a row. Perhaps this was only the natural outcome. After all, the combination success rate was only 3%. Even so, the loss that wrapped around Minhyuks entire being was too great.
This skill will help me eat more delicious food!
Minhyuk steeled his heart as he tried to calm himself. Then, he tried to combine the skills once again.
[Attempting combination.]
[Combination failed]
[Attempting combination.]
[Combination failed]
[Attempting combination.]
[Combination failed]
[Attempting combination.]
[Combination failed]
Minhyuks expression grew ugly as continuous failure rang in his ears.
At the same time, most people sitting inside the Joy Co. Ltd.s conference room were tightly clasping their sweaty hands.
If Player Minhyuk can successfully combine those skills, he will be able to harvest more ingredients in the Field of the Gods.
If that happens, our fate of doing overtime will be sealed.
They never know what Minhyuk, who always did something new and unprecedented, would do if he obtained such a skill! That was why everyone was praying for the failure of the skill combination.
However, Minhyuk was roaring for the success of his skill combination. Combiiiiiiiiiiiine!!!
[Combination failed]
Combiiiiiiiiine!!!
[Combination failed]
Combiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine!!!
[Combination failed]
COMBINE!
[Combination failed]
Minhyuks face flashed with disappointment when his 19th attempt at combining the skills failed. On the other hand, the faces of all the team leaders present inside Joy Co. Ltd.s conference room were smiling.
Team Leader Park said, It seems like well prevail this time.
Hope bloomed in their hearts. It seemed like they would not work overtime for this.
Minhyuk sighed, his face dejected. It would be more strange if everything went well for me.
With a click of his tongue, Minhyuk pressed the attempt combination button one final time. He was thinking, Lets do this so I wont have any regrets. but his eyes were closed tightly, his heart thumping wildly and even his breathing had turned almost non-existent. And finally, a very happy tune rang in his ears.
Ring!
[Combination successful!]
[The Passive Skill: Striking Will has been created!]
Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! Minhyuk cheered loudly.

The Joy Co. Ltd.s conference room was plunged into deep silence.
