Episode 238
『You have a tendency to be overly self-sufficient. What are you going to use that strong body for?
The food I ate so far is a waste. Do your best and die more.
It looks like your cooking skills aren’t that good, so don’t even think about eating it raw and try your best all the time. That’s it.』
Flutter!
X’s hands trembled as he received the note.
“Didn’t I tell you not to read that?”
“The gossip behind your back must have been worse than this, right?”
“Hmm, I guess I won’t say anything about that.”
“I’m so disgusted that I’m dying.”
A note that sounds like a treat!
It was my first direct interaction with the Gourmet King since I first met him.
Although I was glad to see it in its own way, the return was unstoppable factual violence!
X was able to understand what the Gourmet King was saying.
‘It’s natural to be careful about the death penalty... but by the way, doing your best and dying more means liberation of the Eight Gates and denial of death, right?’
Honestly, this was the part that bothered me.
Both skills were hidden cards that could help you escape a crisis, so it was an X that I always saved.
Thanks to this, the skill proficiency only stopped at around 10%.
Hot! X squeezed the hand holding the note.
“Okay, I’ll do as you say.”
I will use Liberation of the Eight Gates and Denial of Death properly!
Now that the white mask showed its teeth, X was planning to increase his proficiency in both skills. Of course, advice on heavenly cooking could not be left out.
‘Apart from the fact that the Gourmet King is obnoxious, he doesn’t know anything about cooking. As the Gourmet King said, let’s refrain from using spices for the time being....’
But it’s also okay to give up precious stats... While X was ruminating and thinking deeply, Sioras added one thing.
“Oh, and there was something I couldn’t quite write down on the note, so I asked you to tell it to me instead.”
“Is it a compliment? or not?”
“Hmm well? Then, I will deliver it without changing a single token.”
Sioras cleared his throat and continued.
“And don’t eat anything just because it tastes good. Because it’s not the heavenly taste that was given to me. Refine your taste buds consistently. If you’re not stone-headed, you’ll be able to understand well, right? “It’s really weird.”

Puff puff!
If you put your will into swinging accurately, you also had to practice stabbing accurately.
X was busy practicing while holding a suitable branch. Of course, I couldn’t completely throw away the distracting thoughts in my head.
“I was a fool for expecting anything at all.”
The personality of a gourmet king!
Hatred itself.
He threw away all promises, threw away his country and subjects, and disappeared.
It would have been a mistake to expect him to quietly hand over his recipe.
As he said, X, who was not stone-headed, was finally able to understand the meaning of Sioras’ words.
‘Even in the heavenly sense of taste, the ‘extreme level’ exists.’
Heavenly Taste (Master): With a heavenly sense of taste, you can find and feel the hidden taste of food.
Proficiency Master!
In the past, I would have felt that there was no room for further development, but it was different now that I learned about the play.
According to the words of the Gourmet King, just as there is an extreme state in basic skills and martial arts, there is also a state in heavenly taste.
X tilted his head.
“But how do you train your sense of taste?”
The heavenly sense of taste makes everything taste delicious.
Thanks to this, your stats will increase even if you eat the world’s most poisonous poison. Maybe I should take my time a little more slowly and savor the taste properly?
That time when X was shaking out tree branches with a profound expression. Sappun Cheolganghu appeared on the roof.
“It’s important to throw away distracting thoughts.”
“Ah, this is not easy.”
“Still, moving your body is better than wasting time sitting still. Anyway, it seems like you like me. “You said you wanted to stay here for a while despite your busy schedule.”
X made an appointment with Crown Prince Hwaryuhyeon.
Let’s take time and slowly discuss the harmony and future of the Arba Continent and the East Continent.
However, X knew the hidden meaning behind Hwaryuhyeon’s actions.
He lowered his posture and smelled the dirt, then took the lead and started giving directions. Katharine suddenly turned her head and opened her mouth.
“Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa specific some special?
“...Eh?”
“Hehe, I think that’s the cutest time.”
Danwoo smiled as if he was used to it.
X is bound to be absurd. Not only did his eyes change to look like a cat, but did he become a cat altogether? Anyway, it was a strange skill worthy of an Explorer guild member.
Katharine, who had become a cat, advanced towards the shrine along the most deserted path.
Jump! I guess my sense of animals was accurate, and I didn’t encounter a single common monster along the way.
“Anyway, will the three of us be enough? Just hearing the name Gumiho makes it seem very strong. Besides, the shaman doesn’t seem to be responding favorably...”
“Of course we have the advantage.”
X extended his fingers.
“Even if the shamans join, isn’t it 3 to 2?”
We have the advantage in numbers.
It was a joke to ease the tension of Danwoo, who was overly worried.
However, X’s lame joke soon went astray.
*
Shaman’s shrine!
Nine figures visible from the top of the stone stairs. And nine tails swaying gently.
Danwoo stuttered.
“I think I made a mistake in calculating the number, Mr. X?!”
The world’s general-level monster, nine-tailed fox!
From the beginning, the nine-tailed fox threw the three into confusion with his self-immolation technique.
Party Status In X’s field of vision, the status of Katharine and Danwoo were being informed at every moment.
[A confusion effect occurs on party member ‘Danwoo’!]
[A confusion effect occurs on party member ‘Katarin’!]
“Oh, I’m dizzy.”
Although he was a blacksmith with good combat skills among production workers, his immunity to abnormal conditions was poor.
Unlike Katarin, who immediately shook her head and came to her senses, Danwoo’s legs were shaking.
“Do you even have time to worry about us?”
Pang-!
When the arrow Katharine shot hit the ground, a wind blew around.
The wind that passed through X’s body spread throughout the forest.
Woooooo-! Soon, the cries of animals were heard from everywhere.
Katharine winked.
“You can at least take care of my body, so why don’t you go up first?”
It goes without saying.
Green onions! X climbed the stone stairs with all his might.
Shashashak! The nine-tailed fox and its clones are immediately scattered everywhere.
One of the clones appeared to be facing Katharine and Danwoo, but Katharine did not collapse as easily as she said.
“Please, cuties.”
Animals flocked around her!
From squirrels to rabbits and wolves.
Unlike barbarians, barbarian archers seemed to specialize in communicating with nature.
However, as a non-mainstream class, there were clear limits to borrowing the power of animals...
“Huh? Are you going to help me? why?”
Crumbling!
A tiger had answered Katharine’s call. Judging by its size and the energy it exudes, it is not an average level guy.
At best, it’s like a pack of wolves. Katharine is clearly aware of her own limitations, so she can’t help but feel embarrassed.
However, I was able to realize the reason why the tiger appeared in an unexpected place.
X, who recognized the tiger’s cry, opened his mouth.
“uh? “Are you alive?”
A tiger who returned the favor!
The guy who was in danger of being beaten to death by the Duoxini caught the scent of X carried on the wind and responded to Katharine’s help.
Katharine let out a laugh as if she was dumbfounded.
“I don’t know who the real Barbarian Archer is?”
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
