Episode 381:
There was a gourmet king in front of me.
‘...It must be an illusion, right?’
To be precise, the translucent Gourmet King was visible.
Is this a 5-star heavenly cooking effect? X could guess the effect right away.
If the shadow of the Gourmet King has helped you make heavenly dishes so far...
‘From now on, all you have to do is just comfortably eat the heavenly dishes prepared by the Gourmet King!’
I drank the kimchi soup first.
But that was a mistake.
“Your words are short, heir.”
The Gourmet King, who thought it was just a fantasy, speaks. And that too while making direct eye contact.
X was momentarily taken aback.
I couldn’t see any beggar in him. The eyes of the gourmet king, overflowing with firearms, were filled with an energy that could not be described as anything.
“sorry.”
“I didn’t show up just to hear an apology. Take a seat. “You must have had a lot of questions during this time, so it would be better to talk comfortably.”
These were truly kind words, but X was bound to become even more confused!
‘Are you really the king of gourmet food?’
X knows the Gourmet King’s quirky personality better than anyone else.
Even considering his personal circumstances, the poor treatment shown to him, his successor, was to the point where anyone would think it was excessive.
However, the Gourmet King in front of me is unfamiliar and friendly.
Grumble!
The Gourmet King first inspected the bonfire.
‘I need to start by teaching you how to control the fire, right?’ He muttered and added dry firewood to the bonfire.
His words continued.
“Looking at the ingredients, I guess you were planning on making a dish using scallops? Let’s see. If it’s a supplement like this, the recipe I made in the 17th session would be suitable.”
“...the recipe you made in the 17th episode?”
“okay. Where can you find a heavenly cooking recipe with outstanding results? Did you know that if you do it, it will be created? “All of the heavenly dishes you’ve made so far have been recipes I developed and developed.”
X discovers another secret. X nodded as if he finally understood.
‘The shadow of the Gourmet King didn’t appear for no reason.’
Moreover, seeing that it was mentioned that it was the 17th episode, it seemed like the friendly guy was the king of gourmets.
When he made that decision,
“Hey, if you really wanted to see the end of Fate, shouldn’t you have kindly let me know from the beginning? “I’ve suffered so much since the only food I’ve ever cooked is fried chicken...”
But he soon trailed off at the sight of the gourmet king smiling bitterly.
The Gourmet King looked at the red-hot pan and opened his mouth.
“Do you know, X? This Fate World is a worldview that is better balanced than it looks. As you know, it is a worldview created after dozens of trials and errors.”
Balance?
X also had a lot to say.
“Fuck you. Since there is a job called Heavenly Gourmet, balance control has completely failed. A job where your stats increase just by eating is a scam, right?”
Mumbling.
After speaking rapidly, X picked up a piece of homemade crab meat and ate it. If someone hears it, they’ll think they’re looking at someone else.
But it was something I had been thinking about ever since I first changed jobs to a heavenly gourmet job.
Sizzling.
Thinly sliced garlic is fried in heated oil. The Gourmet King, who cut his palm, responded.
“If you sell it like that, it makes me a little sad, doesn’t it?”
“...Well, there’s nothing to be disappointed about, right?”
How could a man be so weak-hearted? The Gourmet King noticed X’s eyes and sighed.
“I thought you figured it out, but you’re still mistaken.”
The Gourmet King began to explain the whole story.
Soon, X was so absorbed in his story that he even forgot to chew the crab meat in his mouth.
The explanation was simple.
“...Wasn’t that candy just regular candy?”
A strange candy that I received by giving away cheap rye bread to the Gourmet King.
The candy contained the ‘experience points’ accumulated by the Gourmet King while experiencing dozens of worldview resets!
Since X also had a brain, his thoughts reached out to the Gourmet King from the first episode.
“Then you were a master of ‘Heavenly Taste’ from the moment you acquired it?”
“It’s okay to guess.”
“...Huh. Then what about ‘Heavenly Capture’?”
“Didn’t you steal my diary? “At first, I couldn’t do anything properly, so I ended up throwing away a few pieces of meat raw.”
“Is it because it’s the peak? Even though the 5 stars are different, they are still different.”
Not only the taste but also the effects!
The 5-star Heavenly Cooking effect seemed like it could be used very well in the battle with the White Mask.
“By the way...”
Lee Ji-won headed to the study at a brisk pace.
Although I had some time before forced logout, there was a reason why I terminated the connection in advance.
Thanks to the improved world, the only time Jiwon Lee used the keyboard in front of the computer was when she was researching or thinking about something.
“Now it seems like I can even forget the keyboard.”
Click-!
Jiwon Lee turned on the computer.
It was because I couldn’t just ignore the Gourmet King’s words. Jiwon Lee muttered as soon as the screen appeared.
“Blossom is the same player as me?”
What he meant was that Blossom was a person. Artificial intelligence is a human being, so that person should also say something that makes sense.
He laughed it off at first, but the Gourmet King was extremely serious. Jiwon Lee shook his head.
“It makes no sense in common sense.”
Crash!
Meanwhile, Lee Ji-won was writing down words in the search box.
He is a gourmet king who has watched the entire history of Fate from its first worldview to the present.
Because his words couldn’t be ignored.
‘They say people are connected to artificial intelligence...’
It really wasn’t a dangerous idea. Simply put, it meant using the human brain as a server.
The human brain cannot operate indefinitely like a machine. That was exactly what the Gourmet King was worried about.
-The period in which another being is resurrected, that is, the deletion system is activated, became shorter with each reset. This means that Blossom’s threshold has been greatly reduced.
If the terrible speculation is true...
no matter how hard you try to stop it, the rumors will inevitably leak out.
‘There was a search and seizure on Meiji recently, so if it were true, evidence or suspicion would have been found.’
There was no need to look at unreliable blogs or posts.
Jiwon Lee clicked the news tab. And I was able to come across an article that had just been written.
-Carla ‘The conspiracy theories are all true.’ Shocking announcement!
“....”
I continued reading the article.
The conspiracy theory that came from prosecutors and was floating around the press room of the Political and Social Affairs Department is true.
Jiwon Lee read the article again in silence.
I thought over the article several times to see if the conspiracy theory was true or not.
And I was able to admit it.
“Crazy guy.”
That all Fate players around the world, including himself, were playing in the palm of Schubert’s hand.
The comments were a mess.
Carla lied. No, what reason is there to lie in this situation?
They were divided in half and slandered each other.
“Even if you deceive people, you have to deceive them to the extent possible.”
I was truly angry.
I had no idea that this ugly truth was hidden in Fate, which made the whole world go crazy.
In the end, Fate was not a perfect virtual reality game, but just a fraud planned by Schubert from the prologue to the ending.
But...
even the fact that he accessed Fate and went on a rampage in Fate World was not a lie.
Even if it is said to be the greatest fraud in human history, it does not mean that there are no memories and relationships built up in Fate.
“Well, that’s enough.”
I will protect Fate World! Yes, for simple Lee Ji-won, that alone was enough of a reason.
In addition, I realized that a person’s life really depends on me and that the fate of that life depends on me.
“The difficulty of getting to a happy ending is just crazy.”
So Ji-won Lee was not going to choose any means. Not only in Fate but also in real life!
Jiwon Lee called somewhere.
-...Well, you didn’t dial the wrong number, did you?
A trembling voice asks.
It’s a mistake to make a mistake.
I got straight to the point.
“Writer Seo, the interview I promised and kept putting off. I’ll do it right now.”
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
