Episode 21
: Is this a dream or reality?
X, who was in a daze, shook his head.
“...This is not the time.”
Let’s try it!
The Bear Stance has ridiculous effects, but I didn’t think I would be able to feel it if I didn’t try it myself. To make an accurate comparison, X first checked the current stats.

_ ‘It went up?’
After a few days of hard work, my stats have increased significantly again. His physical strength was approaching 10,000, and his strength was not far behind that of most top rankers.
But it’s still too early to be surprised!
What if you use bear stance here?
X caught his breath and opened his mouth.
“Bear stance.”
Knock knock!
As soon as I used the skill, the muscles of my entire body began to twitch. Blood vessels swelled and muscles expanded. X gritted his teeth.
‘Incredible force!’
It was so powerful that I wondered if my body could withstand it. As if that wasn’t enough, a huge energy grew from inside my body so that I couldn’t control it.
‘You can’t be swayed by just one skill.’
This is the first recipe of the Gourmet King. I don’t know how many recipes the Gourmet King has left behind, but what’s the use of all of them if he can’t fully control even the first power he gains?
“Whoa...”
X concentrated his mind.
The purpose was to perfectly control this vast power without being dragged around. And soon, X succeeded in controlling this enormous power.
‘My body is full of vitality.’
Optimum body condition!
My body felt light and my head was clear. I could feel the change in my body with my senses, but I also wanted to see it with my eyes. X checked the stats again.
Strength: 1120
“You’re crazy, really?”
Double the power!
I gasped at the power that exceeded 1,000 points. Even based on simple calculations, you need to reach at least level 200 to exceed 1000 points of strength.
Moreover, you cannot invest all of your bonus stats in strength alone.
Considering other stats, including agility, there are currently less than 10 users in Fate whose strength exceeds 1000 points.
“This is not the end.”
Another effect Immune to all status effects!
The status abnormality effects that exist in Fate are endless. Poisoning, burns, fainting, confusion, frostbite, etc... But you’re ignoring all of those terrifying status effects!
‘In some sense, maybe I need this more?’
X smoothed his chin.
As usual, I imagined a battle with War Machine in my head.
Pouring magic.
You yourself are helpless against that magic.
And the vision turns gray.
The simulation always ended there.
The cause was simple.
Curse, Paralysis, Binding, Chaos!
Abnormal status magic with fatal effects! No matter how high your evasion ability is, it is impossible to completely avoid those magics.
X, who was thinking deeply, raised the corners of his mouth.
“With this, I can make at least 10 people my companions on the way to the underworld.”
Even if it is only for 30 minutes, you are immune to all abnormal status effects! What that meant was that at least you wouldn’t get hit unfairly due to a condition.
“Once every 24 hours. The buff effect lasts 30 minutes...”
Considering the enormous effect, it was a natural waiting time.
No, on the contrary, we should be thankful that that is all we have.
X quickly cleaned up his surroundings.
I picked up the scattered dishes and put them in my inventory.
If this public opinion continues, the guild will eventually suffer losses.
Still, not all guilds were bad at so-called ‘politics.’
Jiwon Lee sneered.
‘I don’t like you guys in that sense.’
War machine.
Although they reign as the strongest guild in Fate in name and reality, they are not criticized by users.
To those who don’t know anything, it just looks like a fair and cool guild.
But Jiwon Lee knows.
‘Kaimus.’
The ringleader who pointed a knife at himself.
That innate political skill. He was a man who had a knack for coaxing, manipulating, and manipulating people. Kuuk! Jiwon Lee clenched his fist.
‘So overwhelming power is needed.’
politics?
In the end, conversation only works if the power level is similar. Ji-won Lee was not confident in defeating Kaimus through conversation. Because I’ve already experienced it being properly broken once.
However, with his strength, he was confident that he could crush Kaimus, or even the entire War Machine. A heavenly gourmet with that ridiculous scam job.
“It’s already time to sleep.”
A regular life just for games!
Soon, Jiwon Lee closed his eyes without any regrets.
Then he muttered quietly.
“Should I at least subscribe to a cooking channel? Just by learning a few things, you can increase your stats several times. Whether it works or not, let’s get started...”

Narville!
X’s face was bright as he arrived in that vibrant city again.
‘If you sprinkle spices on the food made by Mr. Kalon...’
Kalon, the best chef in Narville!
The number of dishes he makes is dozens! What if you combine a few spices there? Your abilities will increase significantly again.
“Besides, it’s free.”
Kalon has a huge crush on X. Additionally, if you hear that the quest has been completed, you can build a perfect trust relationship.
X headed to Calon’s restaurant.
At lunchtime, his restaurant was much busier than before.
‘The number of users has increased.’
It became apparent that the number of users was increasing explosively every day. Additionally, the ages of the users varied. Among the users eating at the restaurant, there were also elderly people.
“Is Senior Kalon there?”
“...senior? No, who is this! “Isn’t it X?”
“Thanks to you, I had a good trip. Seniors.”
“Oh, you’re not hurt anywhere? “Are you okay?”
Kalon saw X and welcomed him with open arms.
X explained to Calon what had happened.
From catching a cave bear to struggling to complete the Gourmet King’s recipe, to finally completing the Gourmet King’s recipe and seeing the anecdote of the Gourmet King and Kalsumar!
Kalon said, wiping his moist eyes.
“I see you’ve definitely perfected the recipe. “The dish made from cave bears was so bad that I couldn’t eat it... It’s just like Great-Grandfather Kalsumar said!”
Kalon also seemed to have heard something from Kalsumar.
X handed Calon a piece of meat.
It was cave bear meat.
“Would you like me to make it for you right now?”
“Is there any reason to kick out a customer? “I’ll just count it as something I ate.”
“...You just don’t want to eat it?”
“Hmm.”
Gourmet king’s cave bear dish!
Calon cleared his throat as if he was aware of its notoriety.
Soon a notification came to mind.
[You have succeeded in your quest!]
After checking the notification, X snarled and grabbed the boat.
“More than that, I couldn’t eat anything on the way. The north is not an extremely barren place. So, can I get something to eat?”
Kalon responded with a smile.
“of course! How could you starve your lovely junior? “I’ll make anything just for you to say the word!”
X said slyly.
“When it comes to senior Kalon’s skills, it is very difficult to choose just one. “Everything is incredibly delicious. So, I’d like to ask for everything on the menu!”
Explosive stat increase with various spices!
X flattered hard to suck the honey.
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
