Chapter 1126
What was the Supreme? The word usually expresses the highest and the final level of something. Perhaps the Supreme was the final level that a player could ever reach in their lives.
With the help of the God of Cooking, Minhyuk successfully created the Supreme Dish. That dish was very difficult to make, far more difficult than any other dish that he had ever made in his life. That goes to show how difficult the path to the Supreme was.
Yet now, Minhyuk has acquired the Supreme Skill Creation Scroll. Of course, Minhyuk immediately checked the item’s information right away. His eyes were dyed with shock when he saw the details written in the information.
–The skill created by the Supreme Skill Creation Scroll possesses power equal to or greater than the Eight Pillars’ Disaster.
–Your level will drop by 3 as a penalty for using the Supreme Skill Creation Scroll.
–When creating a far too ridiculous skill, the Supreme Skill Creation Scroll will compensate and lower the skill to complete it.
–The Supreme Skill Creation Scroll can only create closely related skills suitable for the person developing them.
–In the case where the level of the skill creator is low, the creation scroll will lower the skill and complete it by itself.
–You can create skills with the effects that you want.
Minhyuk trembled. He felt immensely excited when he saw that the skill would be equivalent to or perhaps even more significant than the Eight Pillars’ Disaster.
Minhyuk possesses two skills that were on the level of the Eight Pillars’ Disaster. One was Calamity, and the other was the Growth Cultivator. However, were these two skills tailored for him? That was quite hard to say.
Calamity was a mighty skill. It was indeed on the level of an Eight Pillars’ Disaster, but Minhyuk’s skill proficiency level was still far too low for him to showcase the true power of the skill. The Growth Cultivator’s effects would disappear once he reached Level 750.
‘Should I improve my attack skills?’
He could create a Supreme for the Battle God or the Food God.
‘How about this? Once the power of the Supreme has been triggered, ten of my vassals can use their one-shot kill skills simultaneously.’
Just thinking about it had left Minhyuk all excited.
If not that, then how about this one?
‘Since I’m the Battle God, how about a skill that will allow me to bring in all of the troops of the Beyond the Heavens Empire?’
That would be a shocking sight. Minhyuk was soon forced to face reality.
“Then, I won’t be able to become a Pillar.”
Minhyuk, whose thoughts had been clouded by the thrill and excitement of the endless possibilities the item had brought him, immediately corrected his thinking. What he needed to do right now was not to create the Supreme attack.
‘I have to obtain the power to become the true Pillar of the Gourmands.’
Pillar of Death Boleyn had tens of millions of outstanding assassins working under his organization, Immune. Master of Nature Verodun could create a terrible catastrophe that could devastate an entire kingdom. So, what about Minhyuk?
‘I can only cook and eat my dish or cook and feed others.’
Of course, his power was undoubtedly impressive. But what would it take to become the Pillar who could lead the world?
If Minhyuk became one of the Eight Pillars of the world, then he would become the central figure in command of everything related to food and eating in Athenae. This meant that even if Minhyuk did not cook and feed the people, the people would still be satisfied with what he had to offer. On top of that, the people must not only be in awe of his power. They had to support and follow him. For that to happen, Minhyuk had to cook after tens of thousands, no, hundreds of millions of people and players. Wasn’t that impossible?
In other words, Minhyuk needed something that could be applied to the world.
“...?!”
Minhyuk’s eyes grew wide, and his lips started to tremble.
‘Why didn’t I think of that before?’
At that moment, someone knocked on the door.
“Your Majesty, I know that you’re having your meal, but there’s something that I have to report. May I come in?”
It was none other than Haze. After announcing her presence, she immediately went inside Minhyuk’s office. However, the sight in front of her made her fall on her butt.
“H-how...”
“...?”
“Why aren’t you eating?” Haze asked, shock flashing on her face when she realized that Minhyuk was not eating.
Minhyuk, who had suddenly sat down after feeling like he had suffered a loss, looked at the standing Haze and called out to her, “Haze.”
‘If various restrictions are added to this ability that defies common sense, then creating it might be possible.’
Minhyuk released a shaky breath.
“Creating cooking ingredients.”
Considering that tens of thousands of legendary-grade dishes were created in a day, Athenae had to supply at least tens of thousands of legendary-grade ingredients in a day, too. Setting up too much might just be counterproductive to Minhyuk’s goals.
[The system analyzes the average ingredient supply data.]
[Based on the number of dishes made daily, 10% of the ingredients needed to be supplied.]
When Minhyuk heard these notifications, he realized he had reached a critical point. Haze was concerned about this: Would he use the enormous amount of ingredients that he had created for himself?
‘Of course, it would be fine to create around five or so monthly and use it myself.’
What Minhyuk wanted to set up right now was to create 10% of the supply of ingredients to the world. In other words, he had to make thousands, perhaps even more, daily.
Would Minhyuk use those ingredients himself every day?
‘If I can truly do that, I can eat God-grade kimchi jjigae for breakfast, God-grade samgyeopsal for lunch, and God-grade oxtail hangover soup for dinner. I can even supply God-grade ingredients to my vassals every morning. Ah. Maybe I can pay them with God-grade ingredients instead of money for their salaries?’
Minhyuk was already very excited just by imagining such a scene.Of course, reality was quite harsh. Such a scenario was impossible. Ultimately, Minhyuk had to adjust it to the appropriate level and remain in line.
[The creator can only use one ingredient he created every three months.]
And he did not forget some extra.
[The powerful vassals around the creator who receive the system's recognition can use one created ingredient yearly.]
Then, did that mean he could create the ingredients he wanted just like that? That was impossible. Of course, there were other important things to add, too.
‘How should I set up what I need for the creation process?’ Minhyuk pondered over this question sincerely. That was when he saw the Automatic Set-Up System. This system could be used when one was stuck creating the skill through the Supreme Skill Creation Scroll. The Supreme Skill Creation Scroll would create what was needed following the conditions set before using the system.
Minhyuk immediately clicked the button.
[The Supreme Skill Creation Scroll has started the search for the supplies needed for the creation.]
[To proceed with the creation, you must provide the seeds or some of the meat and ingredients you want to create.]
[You need 1 liter each of ‘Briah’s River Water,’ ‘Ruagalla’s Aqua Vitae,’ and ‘Ford Garaam’s River Water’ as basic supplies for the creation process.]
Minhyuk asked Haze about the different types of water that he needed.
“I don’t know about the other two but the Briah’s River Water flows on one of the lands owned by the Luvien Empire. From what I heard, it has effects that contribute greatly to creating a better life. In reality, it does not possess such a power. Nevertheless, they still sell it for around 500,000 gold per liter.”
“Eh? Even though the declared effects are not proven to be effective?” Minhyuk was perplexed.
If that was the case, then weren’t they just a bunch of thieves? But Haze? She licked her lips and said, “It’s a pity.”
“What is?”
“If that land is owned by the Beyond the Heavens Empire, then I could have sold a liter of that river water for one platinum.”
“...”
‘Ah, that’s right. We’re scammers too...?’
In the first place, it did not matter whether it possessed a mystical power or not. This world was where the rich and powerful nobles believed in superstitions and spent money on such things. Even though they knew it was nothing but a superstition, they would still willingly spend money on it. It was just like how others paid vast sums of cash to shamans so that they could find peace of mind and a sound body.
Anyway, if a liter of that river water was worth 500,000 gold, then it would be a bit difficult to create tens of thousands of high-grade ingredients, wouldn't it?
‘If that’s the case then... there will be normal-grade ingredients created among the ingredients.’
Of course, the value of ordinary ingredients was significantly lower. They could be sold for around 10,000 to 100,000 gold at most. Regardless, it would be a done deal if he could not procure a constant water supply. The number of normal-grade ingredients created would be significantly higher than the others.
‘The system is maintaining the balance...’
It was as if the system was taunting him and saying, ‘If you want to try it, then try it.’ But... what if...
‘What if the Beyond the Heavens Empire takes over the ownership of the Briah River?’
Minhyuk would be able to create high-grade ingredients without any worry in the world.
