Chapter 902

Chapter 902

Conir heard Minhyuk mumbling about Gimbap Heaven before he left with Sword God Valen. So, as an innocent and pure boy, Conir had vowed to make those dishes for his beloved hyung once he returned.

NPCs did not have the inventory function. However, countless artifacts could play this role for them, just like the Hefty Pocket that was distributed to some of the vassals of the Beyond the Heavens Empire. The Hefty Pocket was an artifact that could hold around a hundred kilograms and was quite expensive. They were around a hundred platinum each.

Conir had brought a Hefty Pocket filled with cooking ingredients. For five years, whenever he finished training, he would use these ingredients to practice making the dishes from Gimbap Heaven. Conir only sold ramyeon because he liked ramyeon. However, he started trying to learn other dishes.

Conir worked hard for five years to make hyung happy! Conir ran out of ingredients during the process, but I practiced in my head! Conir happily shared his experience when he saw Minhyuk finish the tuna gimbap.

Conir is a very special NPC. He has the power to create quests on his own.

This was all thanks to Conirs passive skill, Tenacity. Minhyuk felt his eyes grow misty. He could tell that Conir had gone through dozens of quests through this passive skill so that he could make dishes from Gimbap Heaven that could give him something whenever it was eaten.

So, what should Minhyuk do to reciprocate Conirs care and love? Of course, it was to eat it more happily and enthusiastically.

Maybe its because my dear Conir is the one that made it; that's why it tastes even better?

Conir is happy! Conir feels very happy!

Minhyuk smiled faintly when he saw Conir looking all happy. There was still a lot of food left.

Minhyuk quickly stretched his chopstick toward the chewy jjolmyeon covered with halved eggs and shredded cucumbers, carrots, lettuce, and bean sprouts. After mixing everything, the jjolmyeon looked quite glossy and very tasty. He quickly picked up a mouthful of noodles and vegetables covered with the red sauce.Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com

Sluuuuuuuuuurp!

The spicy and chewy noodles immediately greeted his mouth when he took a bite.

Jjolmyeon should have a lot of vegetables.

The crunchy vegetables added a touch of flavor to the chewy noodles. Minhyuk continued to eat jjolmyeon while pouring some sauce over the tonkatsu and cutting it.

Kghhk. As expected of Gimbap Heaven, its really worth every penny.

Wasnt it amazing? Even if he ate all these, he would only need to pay around 25,000 won. After cutting the tonkatsu, he picked up his fork, took a large piece into his mouth, and mumbled, Kghhk

The tonkatsu had turned slightly soggy with the sauce, but the taste was still excellent. When Minhyuks mouth felt dry, he gulped down the remaining soup from the ramyeon bowl he had finished earlier.

Keuhaaaa!

Unfortunately, the ramyeon had no special abilities like the tuna gimbap earlier.

Well, Conir was originally already a master of ramyeon. He did not need to study it anymore.

Of course, whether those special effects were there did not matter. Minhyuk was just grateful for the chance to eat this meal. He had already finished eating the jjolmyeon before him in just a blink.

[You have eaten the Jjolmyeon made by someone who has studied the art of making jjolmyeon for five years!]

[Your attack skills attack power has increased by 1.6%!]

And the same was true for the tonkatsu.

[You have eaten the Tonkatsu made by someone who has studied the art of making tonkatsu for five years!]

[Your HP and MP volume have increased by 0.8%!]

[You have eaten the Tteokbokki made by someone who has studied the art of making tteokbokki for five years!]

[Your skill cooldown has decreased by 2%!]

The meal was very satisfying, both the taste and the rewards.

Just then, Haze entered, saying, Your Majesty, our migration rate has increased by around three times more than usual. We expect this rate to be maintained for the time being.

Is that so? Minhyuk sounded as if he expected this to happen.

They not only meant to weaken the Luvien Empire by killing all of the Luvien Imperial Army with this dungeon attack but also to make the Beyond the Heavens Empire grow stronger. Before Minhyuk had triggered the episode related to the dungeon, he had already met several empires and kingdoms. They had already promised to confront the Luvien Empire with the Beyond the Heavens Empire standing at the forefront and acting as their main pillar.

The Luvien Empire is currently in the process of Duke Ruffisos funeral. The nations that have declared war against the Beyond the Heavens Empire are still silent.

They expected that this situation would remain for quite some time. Now that many people had joined hands with the Beyond the Heavens Empire, the other nations that had declared war against them would not be able to take any reckless and hasty actions against them. The Luvien Empire had lost Duke Ruffiso and many elite troops. They desperately needed reorganization.

Meanwhile, the nations that were hostile to the Luvien Empire were all prepared for war and were ready for combat. Of course, the same was true for the Beyond the Heavens Empire. If the Luvien Empire gathered their troops immediately and launched an attack, they might win but suffer huge damages.

I also found the whereabouts of the person that you told me to find.

Well done, Haze.

Will you be going in person?

I have to go in person and show our gratitude.

Also, Your Majesty. Haze smiled faintly at Minhyuk. I think Your Majesty can eat something delicious just like usual.

Mhm Minhyuk groaned.

The probability of the Luvien Empire attacking them was very low, even if the Beyond the Heavens Empire was obviously at war. But Haze was thinking differently.

Your Majesty always brings something back whenever you come back, right?

[Not too long ago, I was able to find an artifact. According to the artifact, it was produced by Transcendental Runevur. The artifact was thousands of years old and had lost its function. However, I estimate that this artifact could easily exceed God-rank artifacts.]

[I estimate that there are around twenty transcendentals.]

[I dont know how many transcendentals are currently left in existence.]

[Perhaps my parents are among these transcendentals.]

[I cant find any more traces. If I find them alive, I will make sure to twist their necks with my bare hands. If theres a tomb, I will crush it into powder.]

[Transcendentals Transcendentals. Transcendentals. Someday, I will find them all, wring their necks, tie them up with a rope, and hang them to dry out in the open air.]

The item was in the form of a diary. Minhyuk knew about Duke Ruffisos story. And from his words, he had assumed that the transcendentals had abandoned him and bred resentment and anger toward them. However, in the end, he was already a dead man.

Minhyuk closed the book and thought, Transcendentals. Those who have gone beyond even the gods. So, they exist.

This was more than enough information. Then, Minhyuk looked at the red salt inside a tiny bottle. Duke Ruffiso had made it into a necklace and hung it around his neck. When Minhyuk lifted it toward the sun, the salt would glow a bright red.

Slurp Minhyuk gulped his saliva down.

Sometimes, a good seasoning could determine the overall flavor of the dish. Minhyuk quickly checked the salts information.

(Suns Salt)

Ingredient Grade: ???

Special Abilities:

You can trade one gram of this salt for 10,000 platinum at the Events Merch Store.

The Suns Salt tastes the most delicious when used as a dip for meat.

Even if you eat some of it, you can still sell it.

Description: This is a unique salt that Duke Ruffiso hung around his neck.

???

Minhyuk was shocked.

Its worth 10,000 platinum per gram?!

The total weight of the salt was thirty grams, and it could be sold at the Events Merch Store, where people could trade like they were in an event. If he sold them all, then he would be able to get 300,000 platinum. If ordinary players acquire this, then they will be able to receive money that could allow them to cruise freely for the rest of their lives. However, that was not what made Minhyuk so shocked.

It tastes best when used as a dip for meat?!

This item arrived at just the right time. Minhyuk was just about to go to a place that was selling beef. He stood up and followed the directions written on the information that Haze had found out about the man he was looking for.

***

Bard Erwell was an old man. However, he was once and still is the most influential bard in Athenae. Around fifteen years ago, he felt skeptical about how his life was going, so he hid his identity and opened a store. The store was none other than a beef restaurant.

Alas, this store also closed. Erwell recently sang a song that criticized the Luvien Empire. He had grown a lot older, unable to look silently as the Luviens tyrannical acts ran rampant; he decided to sing his Final Song despite knowing that the Luvien Empire would come to find him.

Im going to die soon anyway.

Erwell knew that he was going to die soon. He was suffering from a severe illness. Didnt they say that people knew how long they would live? Erwell could tell that he only had around three days left. Because of that, he did not intend to avoid them or even run away.

On the other hand, my death will further drag down the Luvien Empire.

Many would blame the Luvien Empire for his death. And that was more than enough. However, it was pretty strange. Although his mind was at ease, his entire body was shaking. Then, he saw a young man sitting down in front of him.

You can have this for free. This is the last meal that I will serve.

Wow! Really? Thank you! The young man spoke politely to Erwell. He sounded grateful.

According to him, he came here from afar because he heard rumors about how delicious the beef was in this beef restaurant. The young man was around 178 centimeters tall and dressed in a shabby outfit, his stomach rumbling as if famished.

Thats one kilogram. Are you sure that you can eat it all? Erwell asked, showing the meat on the plate. The plate had a lot of sirloin, chuck flap tail, flat iron steak, and ribs with a bright red color.

Of course!

Hoho. Ive given you a lot since youre my last customer. So, eat a lot.

Then, Erwell thought, The Beyond the Heavens Emperor.

Erwell gained courage because of him. Wasnt he the one who declared war against the Luvien Empire and risked his everything?

I hope you dont give up.

Erwell smiled faintly as he finally snapped out of his thoughts. He watched the man put a large piece of sirloin on the hot grill.

Sizzle!

Erwell watched the steam rise from the grill as the meat sizzled. Then, he saw the young man take something out and place it in front of his plate.

A red salt?
