Episode 80
Sigh.
X, looking at the snow-covered wasteland, sniffled.
“There is nothing in this land. “Just pass.”
After sorting out the ruins and the vengeful spirit in an instant, X immediately walked towards the last ruins. The last relic, Frost Storm Cliff, was within half a day’s reach using the Chukji method.
X checked the progress.

‘Is there just one left? There’s something vague about it.’
I’m missing just one thing, so I have to go find a new ruin. Still, it wasn’t too much of a hassle because I had a reason other than looking around for land to use the forgotten royal seal.
As X moved north, the wind grew stronger.
Finally, X, unable to shake, stopped.
“Hitch! I just can’t do it. “It looks like I’m freezing to death like this.”
Bitter climate!
What I needed at a time like this was a heavenly dish. X started looking around to see if there was anything that could be used as food. All you see around you are thick coniferous trees and herb-like grass roots. There didn’t seem to be anything worth eating. However, X had already finished selecting the materials in his head.
“First, choose a chubby one.”
Swish! X started climbing the thick tree. As I prepared for an unexpected chase, my senses became sharper and I even detected the sparrow at the top of the tree!
Soon, X, who had caught a plump snow sparrow, landed.
Then I pulled out a blade of grass growing near my ankle.
“Because I ate this last time...”
Moreover, if I added some flavor with the spices I had in my inventory, I thought I would have a dish that would be enough to warm me up. X started a fire behind a large old tree.
‘Yongyong is weak to the cold, so it’s the first time in a while that he’s won a meal alone.’
How could a dragon with skin thicker than steel be weak to cold? Yongyong kept digging into X’s clothes using the cold as an excuse. Thanks to this, X had no choice but to unsummon Yongyong.
X said, taking out the ingredients.
“Heavenly cuisine.”
Sssss. The Gourmet King’s shadow began to guide X’s body. X compared the recipe he had imagined in his head with the Gourmet King’s movements. X, who was watching closely, let out an exclamation.
“Ah, you can serve broth together here.”
In Fate, there is no one better at cooking than the Gourmet King.
X was receiving private tutoring every day that he could not afford even if he paid a thousand dollars for it. Thanks to this, X’s sense of cooking was increasing day by day. Suddenly, X tilted his head.
“Hmm... I think it’s still too early for the spices?”
How could a beginner who had just mastered a frying pan point something out to the king of gourmets?
This was something X said to himself without even realizing it. But it was true that I had doubts.
That’s because X was a spice specialist. A spice that can create completely different tastes in very small amounts. X used the spice as a weapon to increase his stats several times. If nothing else, he can surpass even a top chef when it comes to handling spices.
“?”
Is it because of my mood?
For a moment, the shadow of the Gourmet King seemed startled. While X was doubting his eyes, the shadow let go of the spice bottle he was holding. The shadow had accepted X’s opinion.
X smiled happily inwardly.
‘It was true that Seodanggae would recite Pungwol every three years.’
Even if it’s not as good as Cheongchuleoram, X’s skills have improved in some way!
However, X was not conceited either. For X, who had extensive knowledge, the skill of the king of gourmets was nothing short of the pinnacle. Solsol. X looked pleased with the wafting scent.
“I feel like my body is already relaxing just by smelling it.”
A bitter wind that felt like a slap in the face and the chill of the earth penetrating even my thick shoes! When I think about it, I couldn’t feel any sign of life near the cliff.
‘I don’t think I can go down like this. I guess I’ll have to make one more.’
The moment when you need heavenly cuisine once again.
To be effective on Frost Storm Cliffs, you must use ingredients found there. However, there were no ingredients to be used.
X let out a sigh along with a sneeze.
“Hitch!! If only there were weeds...”
Do I have no choice but to just go down?
Instead of taking the risk of falling, I had to be prepared to fall. When it comes to conquering difficult terrain, Asus, which has better skills than X, inevitably fell.
“Let’s think positively. “There is also a death denial proficiency.”
X tried to cheer up and opened the inventory.
Various leathers obtained in large quantities through heavenly capture. The number of leather straps made from that leather was also considerable. X chose a sturdy leather strap and began weaving it.
“Hitch. This is my lifeline. “You don’t want it to be short?”
What can you do? If it’s short, you have to jump.
X, who put a lot of effort into each item, soon completed the long leash. There was a lot of leather collected, so it was quite long.
Bang bang! X drove the stake and attached the leash. X, holding on tightly to the leash, stood with his back to the edge of the cliff.
‘...I think it would be better to go down in bear stance.’
Bear stance that ignores all status abnormalities.
Frost storms continue to rage. If things continued like this, it would not be long before he would get frostbite. However, the bear stance lasts only 30 minutes. X, who was pondering, organized his thoughts.
“Okay, why are you worrying so much?”
Descend like a man!
Jump up. X jumped off the cliff, holding on to his leash.
Tsueoeook.
The sound of the leather strap stretching gave me a chill, but it was also a thrilling feeling in its own way. X began to move little by little.
“Are you sure you’ll keep your feet firmly planted here...?”
It soon stopped.
“...Is there any bird that can survive this cold?”
I saw a nest perched on a cliff that looked scary to throw my body at. The nest, with only frozen eggshells left, seemed to have no owner. A nest that looks like it has nothing to gain.
“!”
But the moment X saw the nest, he couldn’t help but blame himself for his stupidity. It is true that if your head is bad, your body will suffer.
puck! X hit himself on the head.
“Why didn’t I think of that, so stupid?”
Why is the nest attached to a cliff?
Despite the cold, you don’t have to worry about falling because you can fly. Of course, X couldn’t fly.
But isn’t there a cute guy whose wings are no joke and whose wings are strong?
Sigh. X shouted with a smile.
“Yongyong! “This is when I need you.”
“Kyuuu.”
Yongyong appeared in style and grabbed X’s shoulder. Flap! Then, he easily lifted X up and started flapping his wings.
For Yongyong, who had incredible stats, flying with an X was a piece of cake.
After all, there is only Yongyong.
X, impressed by the ride, suddenly came to his senses.
“for a moment. “Just stop for a moment, Yongyong!”
“Kyuu?”
“How did you save it? You can’t leave this precious thing behind, right?”
A leather strap that can be said to be proof of hard work! There was no way X, who had to use everything properly to get rid of his anger, would forget his leash. X began to take the leash with busy hands.
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
