Chapter 1082

Too dumbfounded to speak, that was how Minhyuk was as he watched the clone bird devour the food. The clone bird had eaten eighty packets of ramyeon and fifty bowls of cold rice and ate ten bags of walnut cookies for dessert.

“Ah. Why do I not feel full even though I have been eating these walnut cookies non-stop?”

Minhyuk looked at the clone bird in both shock and disappointment. He soon bowed his head in thought and said, “Uh. I have to admit that one.”

Ah, I’m going to eat some. That was what Minhyuk usually said before eating fifty bags straight. Of course, even though Minhyuk looked quite surprised and went on to ask if there was truly someone like that, he knew at first glance that the clone bird truly resembled him.

“Am I really like that?”

“Well, he’s much better than the usual you, Minhyuk.”

“...?”

Minhyuk was rendered speechless by the Transcendentals.

‘If it’s like this, then... wouldn’t this be enough to turn someone into a research subject presented at conferences? The title will likely be Man with the Stomach of an Elephant.’

Suddenly, Minhyuk thought that he was amazing. But, of course, the clone bird's personality differed from Minhyuk's.

“Burp– Main body, do you have anything else to eat?”

The clone bird burped loudly and arrogantly demanded something delicious.

‘Although he has taken on my image, his personality is completely different.’

After thinking about it, the description of God and Knight clearly said, ‘There’s a chance that the clone bird will have a completely different personality from the skill user.’

‘Anyway, it would be weird if there were two Minhyuks with the same personality.’

Then, another notification rang in his ears.

[Please choose a name for the Clone Bird.]

“Ah. I’m hungry. Is there nothing to eat?”

Minhyuk stared at the cheeky, arrogant clone bird and finally decided on a name. He said, “Fatty-hyuk.”

“Ah. I don’t like it. What the hell is a Fatty-hyuk? You’re terrible at naming.”

[The Clone Bird does not like the name.]

Minhyuk was immediately forced to think of another name.

“Main body, don’t you have anything I can drink?”

Minhyuk looked at the clone bird’s arrogant figure, thought for a moment, and then said, “In-Hyuk?”

“What? You just changed one letter from your name, right?”

“...”

The dumbfounded Minhyuk pondered over the name of the clone bird for a moment before saying, “Dodo[1]?”

“Oh. That sounds a bit good.”

[The Clone Bird likes the name Dodo.]

“...”

The meaning of the name “Dodo[2]” was very profound.

“Dodo. It sounds like a name with a very profound meaning. What does it mean?” The clone bird, Dodo, asked cheekily.

Minhyuk’s expression grew solemn as he replied. “It means that Dodo has a lot of talents. You’re extraordinary.”

Dodo rubbed his chin, his expression filled with admiration.

“The main body seems to understand me well. Dodo is extraordinary, huh? To put it simply, I’m Extraordinary Dodo. Fufufu...”

Minhyuk was speechless. The description of the God and Knight said, ‘There’s a chance that the clone bird will be lacking in some departments,’ and for some reason, he felt that made sense.

‘Maybe he will get better as time goes by?’

In any case, he did not intend to keep the clone bird by his side for a long time. The clone bird was made to roam the world and choose knights to help Minhyuk. So he would not remain by his side.

Minhyuk did not expect that the clone bird would accept the name Dodo, and he did not plan to actually give it that name.

‘Let’s just put it as Clone Bird. Since he likes Dodo, let’s just leave him alone.’

[You have decided to use the name Clone Bird for the clone bird.]

The name he jokingly gave the clone bird sounded weird, so Minhyuk just called him “Clone Bird.”

“Clone Bird, can you find those who can help me?”

“Don’t want to.”

Clone Bird Dodo’s instant and firm refusal almost made Minhyuk grow angry.

‘The clone bird will choose and recruit knights on my behalf even if I don’t go.’

Minhyuk thought this was just a tiny disadvantage hidden underneath the huge advantage given to him by the newly evolved skill. Of course, Minhyuk knew how to take full advantage of this guy, who looked like him but had a completely different personality.

“For every outstanding knight you bring, I will cook you a legendary-grade dish.”

“I’ll leave right away!” Clone Bird Dodo shouted as he immediately turned into a hawk.

Unlike his name, the hawk, which was almost the size of a child, looked very imposing and majestic. He had sharp beaks, wide and strong wings, and a pair of sharp eyes. He looked just like the king of hawks.

Just when the Clone Bird Dodo was about to fly, he stopped and said, “Put some walnut cookies in my hands... Ah, I don’t have hands?”

Despite the public’s attention and discussion, Minhyuk believed it would take him at least a month.

‘And this is after I have gained ten billion EXP.’

The ten billion EXP that he gained only filled around 6% of his EXP gauge. This went to show how ridiculously high the EXP he needed to reach the next level, Level 700.

Of course, Minhyuk also needed to increase his level as soon as possible. That was why he asked both Abel and Haze to help him find methods that would help him raise his EXP by a lot.

Just in time, an envoy from Luvien Empire’s Emperor Cardin arrived.

“...Why are you here?”

“I was just curious about what Brod is doing right now.”

The envoy was none other than Nerva.

Brod still hated him deeply. But Nerva was trying his hardest to make amends and straighten up the wrongs he did to him in the past. Of course, both Brod and Minhyuk did not intend to forgive him.

Despite the cold reception, Nerva remained seated and said, “I’m sure you haven’t forgotten the promise you made with Cardin before?”

“Of course.”

Minhyuk had used the excuse of saving Emperor Cardin from Duke Balaman to ask for many things. The first method would help him grow, and they pointed him toward his master, Beradon. As for the second one, it was a hint about the Pillar Ingredient.

“The Pillar Ingredients are divided into the land, the sea, and the air.”

Minhyuk knew this too. He had eaten the Pillar Ingredient of the sea, the Pillar Snow Crab. The effects of the snow crab were shocking.

His stats had increased by 3.5,% and his DEX increased by 11%. There was also the fact that his chances of getting special effects when doing anything related to DEX had increased by 5%. Even his resistance to the water attribute had risen by 22%.

Thanks to the Pillar Snow Crab, Minhyuk could now exert a stronger power when fighting against water-attributed monsters, especially since his attack and defensive power would increase by 15% whenever he was fighting against them.

The ingredient's value was so high that it was incomparable to other ingredients. To top it all off, it was also very delicious.

Minhyuk, who was listening to Nerva, received Abel’s whisper.

[Abel: Minhyuk, the only place that can help you increase your EXP is the Tower of Growth.]

At the same time, Nerva said, “It is said that the master of the Tower of Growth has the Pillar Ingredient that represents the land.”

Minhyuk frowned. He felt very uncomfortable hearing the words “Tower of Growth.”

A mysterious smile appeared on Nerva’s face. “You noticed, huh? The tower master of the Tower of Growth is very envious of Beradon.”

After hearing those words, Minhyuk could already roughly tell the situation. ‘So that’s why he named it like that.’

At that moment, Minhyuk’s new destination was found and set.

“Can I see Brod for a bit...”

“No.”

“Then, just from a distance...”

“I refuse.”

“At least tell him...”

“I don’t want to.”

Nerva, who received a firm and stubborn refusal, left the Beyond the Heavens’ imperial castle with shoulders drooping in dejection. From the back, he looked like someone who was just dumped. However, Minhyuk did not feel sorry for him at all.

Just when Minhyuk was about to head to the Tower of the Growth, a very unexpected notification rang in his ears.

[You have acquired the gold and EXP that Clone Bird has acquired.]

[You have acquired 3,441,097 gold.]

[You have gained 3,705,000 EXP.]

[You have gained 1 EXP.]

“...?”

Minhyuk’s eyes grew wide.

‘Don’t tell me?!’

He hurriedly opened God and Knight and read the description once again. The description said...

[Some of the information about the clone bird has been sealed.]

Then, it was followed by a series of “???”. At this moment, Minhyuk realized he was seeing the effects of one of the “???” listed below.

‘Are you telling me that it’s autohunting...?’

1. 붕신새 - Idiot Bird --> Bungsin Bird --> Dodo. Definitely a play on 분신새 (Bunshin). ☜

2. A slang for idiot, also a type of bird. ☜
