24 (6). First Evolution -3

Name:Taming Master Author:Park Taesuk
[KAWIN: You're on, right? Can we talk now?]

He beat up Goblins so hard...

No, Ian, who was beaten hard by the Goblins, stopped fighting in Kawyn's message.

[You have defeated the Goblin Scout. You have gained 1250 XP.]

“Lai, we're done here. Come here. ”

Grrrrrrr

Lai, who was about to catch all the Goblins and rush towards the next group of Goblins, returns quietly to Ian.

“Thank you so much. Take this.”

Ian tosses the half-moon bear meat he had in his inventory to Lai and opens the message window.

Ian: Yes, you can. Tell me.]

KAWIN: As you can imagine, I got a call from him. I'm on it now.]

[Ian: Oh, yeah? Can he do it?]

Kawin: Yes, he will.]

Ian sighs in relief.

If I had said no to Carwin's friends, I would have had to put up with the trouble of looking for people.

[Ian: Yeah, thank you. What's your friend's ID?]

[Kawin: Harin.] Send a message right away.]

[Ian: Okioki.]

When Ian thought the conversation was over, he said another word as he tried to raise a new message window.

[Kawin: But... you're really okay, right? You have to think of him as zero combat strength.]

Ian laughs in relief.

It didn't really matter that much, but it was Ian who had nothing to fear now that Lai had evolved.

[Ian: Hey, don't worry. You're on your way out of Somur Canyon.]

[Kawin: Where is Somur Canyon...]

It's been a hunting ground for too long, and it's a hard place to remember, but soon, it pulls out its memories and panics.

Kawin: What? You robbed Somur Canyon by yourself? Isn't that Goblin Camp?]

Ian: Yeah. That's right. Only a Goblin Scout has been killed at the Outpost for half the day. Level up five levels.]

[KAWIN: What, man, you're not using a cheat or a bug or anything? Then you'll stop eating and cry forever and pretend you don't know.]

From Carwin's point of view, it was a startling sound.

You've been shooting Level 20 lately.You 're sweeping a Level 40 Hunting Ground.

Plus, you've raised five levels in half a day.

At level 20, it used to be normal to catch one up a day or at most two up a day.

There were no monsters.

Ian: What a bug. Anyway, don't worry, don't worry.]

Kawin: Yeah. If that's the case, then that's the case. Okay.]

[Ian: Come here.]

[KAWIN: Haha... Hyeong, we'll be at our level in no time.]

Ian laughs in relief.

And I meant it.

[Ian: Just wait two months.]

[Kawin: ….]

Right now, the main guild member level of the Lotus Guild is almost 80.

The Fioran recently leveled up to the only 90 levels in the guild, and all the remaining users were between 85 and 88 levels.

As Ian experienced, the level up from level 90 usually took about a week for the first job. When I leveled up like crazy all week long.

He predicts that two months from now, the Guild Member's level will be around 95.

‘In two months, I will level 100. ’

At the end of the holidays in two months.

Ian was confident.

It wasn't him who was anxious about restoring the pre-initialization level, i.e. achieving level 93, a bet with Prof. Lee Jin-wook.

Lai's evolution has given Ian that much power.

‘50 in the next full moon. And up to 80 again. And a month till 100. ’

It was Ian's masterplan. All conditions were better than before, and he walked the path he had already walked once.

Rye has evolved, and he's motivated to bet against the professor.

‘Rather, a bet with the professor might be more beneficial for me. You win this bet! ’

In that sense, I had to start the quest right away.

Ian turned off the message window with Kawin and sent a message to a user named 'Harin’ who would accompany him on the quest.

Ian: Hi, you're a friend of Carwin's, right?]

The answer came right back.

HG: That's right. Nice to meet you.]

Ian immediately got to the point.

[Ian: Where are you right now?]

[Harin: I'm repairing equipment at the Lucaine Forge.]

[Ian: Aha, you're finally in Lucaine. Stay in the forge. I'll be there in 10 minutes.]

HG: Okay, great.]

* * *

Ian gets back to Lucaine on the Lye and finds the forge right away.

And I was able to find Harin right in front of the forge.

“Hi, I'm Ian. ”

Harin was a woman with a very beautiful, white face with a sleek body.

In Kailan, however, where there was a slight change in appearance, Ian knew how foolish it was to trust the appearance of a female user.

It was strange that it was a human face, so it became someone else even if I could fix it a little.

“Hi, I'm Harin. Kawin told me a lot about you. ”

“You think he's a friend? ”

“No, I'm not a friend... I'm my close sister. ”

“Ah…. ”

Obviously, he said he was a friend, but Ian walked away without a thought because it wasn't a big deal.

“I think I can start the quest as soon as I'm ready. What about Ian?”

“Yes, I can leave right away. ”

Ian was fortunate that Harin's coolness matched his personality.

Ian's favorite party members were heavy-ass, lazy users.

“Is there a reason Harin is questing camps? ”

Ian asked without much thought, but Harin unexpectedly nodded and replied.

“Yes, I have a quest that I'd like to receive, but it requires me to break the camp quest. I was going to ask Kawin or another high-level friend for help, but Ian said he's doing that quest... ”

At that point, Ian suddenly wondered about the content.

“Are these quests related to Camp Quests? ”

Harin shakes his head, smiling.

“No, it's not like that. The quest I want to receive is from the Tripin Public Chef, but I have to break it to get into the public. ”

‘Oh, yeah. ’

LaPer, who gave the camp a quest, was face-to-face with a public security guard.

So I asked Lafayette to get me into the public domain, and in order to do that, I had to increase my intimacy with Lafayette, and this camp quest was mandatory.

“I see. But what quest did the chef...? ”

As he spoke, Ian remembered Harin's production job he had heard of.

“Oh, you said chef. ”

Harin was radiant.

“Oh, how did you know? Did Kawyn tell you?”

Ian nods.

“Yes, Kawyn told me. You're a cook. ”

“Yes, I'm a culinary major in real life. ”

“Aha. I heard it's hard to grow a production.It would be a little easier if you cooked. ”

“That's right. It's even more fun... ”

In Kailan, not only combat, but also the work of cooking, blacksmithing, etc. was reflected in the practical skills of the user.

Handicraft in reality had an impact on the game itself.

In the same case as a blacksmith, the system actually works in the process of being made of items, but in the case of cooking, it is really said that more than 90% of the cooking methods are the same in reality.

There were many opinions that it was exactly the same except that it could be lit a little harder than reality, or that cooking utensils such as a real-world oven or mixer could be carried more easily.

So ironically, the chef was turned away by more users.

The reason was simple.

It was so realistic that it was that hard.

“Anyway, I've never known a chef before. Can I get a good meal next time? ”

Harin smiles brightly and nods.

“Of course!”
