Stuck in The Tower

Chapter 214 The Qualifications of Cooking

I bowed my head.

My first impression was that he was a muscular, thin-haired bandit, but he was disrespectful.

He is a noble person with cooking skills.

At the same time, he is also my teacher.

cancer don’t decided I will definitely get the cooking skill from my master.

It was a bonus that I took off my helmet and sent serious eyes to convey my sincerity.

Hegrick wipes his face.

Then Park Jae-kyung in the barrack kitchen screamed.

“Hey you idiot! What kind of guy did you bring!”

“Don’t disturb the cooking! Have I got a cleaver?”

“This bastard is what the master says! Ugh.”

Hegrik, who had been yelling at Jaekyung Park who was cooking in the kitchen, sighed.

If your bones hurt, press on your temples.

Even so, I didn’t forget to look up and down me.

“It’s all about cooking skills. I know there is no climber who does not covet this skill.”

“Yes, Master!”

“Who is the master!”

He groaned and sat down in a chair.

I casually walked up behind him and rubbed his shoulder.

“One idiot is enough, but where else did this kind of bullshit come from?”

“Haha, it’s Evileye!”

“Hi go.”

Hey Deokchun, what are you doing?

I’m doing this too and you should do something too.

“The ark.”

The guy who was crying as if it was annoying went up to Hegrick’s head and gave him a massage.

You’re right! It is also Deokchun. I thought I’d give you a scalp massage.

“Oh, that’s cool.”

Hegrik, who was wary at first, seemed to like the massage and the massage, and he was enjoying it without secretly rejecting it.

I am also a person who once went to work and had a social life.

It was a mess because it was a company that was created after the cataclysm, but it was more important to match the mood of the bosses than work ability.

I’m sick of it even thinking about it now, but I’m glad I can use it like this.

“Did you say that Evil Eye?”

“Yes, that’s right!”

“It’s good to show sincerity. I also like the fact that they don’t distance themselves from NPCs. But cooking skills aren’t given to just anyone.”

snap.

At the gesture to stop and come, I stood right in front of him.

“Have you ever heard of a cooking skill acquired through a shop window, private trade, or hunting? or tried it.”

“I looked for it, but couldn’t find it.”

“I guess so. Because cooking skills are handed down unlike ordinary things.”

transmission?

It is a new type of skill.

Come to think of it, Park Jae-kyung also said that he was taught cooking skills.

I thought he was learning to cook because he had Hegrick as his teacher, but that was the literal meaning.

“It is a rare case. I don’t know if you’ve experienced it, but some skills have to be learned in a unique way.”

“It wasn’t a transfer, but I did learn one such skill.”

“Oh, I guess you got something valuable.”

One of my skills.

Abyssal Eye. It was an A-class skill, and it shows terrible illusions that the opponent doesn’t want to face.

The effect is certain, but there is one peculiarity.

‘I also saw an illusion that I didn’t want to see when I was learning.’

The fantasy of being exposed to being a petit gondue in front of everyone.

It’s terrifying to think about again.

If you want to use this skill, prove yourself worthy.

It felt like this.

“If you’ve been through it once, it makes sense. In order to learn the cooking skill, you need to make sure you are ready to cook. Because if you receive it and reach a certain level, you too can pass on your skills to others.”

“Is it really? Speaking of a certain level…”

“S grade. By the way, when I first received it, my cooking skill grade was C.”

“okay.”

I nodded.

Is that the way to continue the life of the skill?

I think I can understand why it didn’t spread among climbers.

Impossible to get it any other way. It is only possible to learn it, but you have to go through a confirmation process to see if you are qualified, and even if you pass it, you have to grow it to S rank in order to give it to someone else.

In many ways, there are restrictions on wide spread.

I guess so. It’s a skill that allows you to use monsters as ingredients.

“Are you really qualified?”

Hegrick raised an eyebrow.

It wasn’t until after we talked that I realized this mountain cabin.

‘Most of them are filled with ingredients and cooking utensils.’

You can feel the force of a person who has been immersed in food for a lifetime.

I swallowed with a gulp.

“That guy over there is also empty-headed, but he’s working hard to become the strongest cook. Are you ready to walk through the mess too!”

“there is!”

I answered in a loud voice.

I don’t know why the goal is to be the best cook and not the best chef.

“Whoops. The momentum is good.”

Hegrick stood up, looking down at me, apparently intrigued.

A strong presence emanating from the giant.

what are you trying to test?

“I will ask. What is the most important thing in cooking?”

“Cleanliness?”

“You only care about that when you have plenty of room, you idiot!”

No, you must maintain hygiene.

“We eat on the battlefield and wash our hands in blood. That’s what real cooking is all about! If you want to cook in a peaceful life, go to a cooking academy.”

he puts his hand on my shoulder

“Self-sufficient. survival of the fittest. It is the basic mindset of a chef.”

“Ah yes.”

“What do you need to do to do that? Power to get materials! The power to survive! Be strong. It is an unchanging truth that the stronger the monster, the more delicious it is.”

He said with burning eyes.

That’s why they talked about being the strongest chef.

It’s a bit boring, but it’s true.

If you’re going to cook simple dishes, boil ramen in a pot.

All I want is to fill my stomach in a place full of monsters.

“Prove that your credentials are strong first.”

-Koo-gu-gu-gu!

Speculation oppresses me.

A very serious expression.

It’s like a fight right now.

“Master, he is strong! Catch even Ice Geuk Taewoong alone.”

“I’m setting the mood for the first time in a while, but don’t get involved!”

…but it was broken by Park Jae-kyung’s words.

Hegrick cleared his throat as if he was embarrassed, then turned his gaze back to me.

“Anyway, I have to check.”

“Shall I show you my skills?”

“That’s not bad either, but fighting while cooking isn’t the case.”

Admit it. I don’t want to go wild and have an aftermath in the kitchen.

“Check with the second credential. I’ll see you were interested in cooking. Ordinary climbers don’t carry anything that could be food.”

he licks his lips

A face you thought you would never have.

Well, that’s usually the case.

“Show me. the ingredients you have. I mean, I caught it myself. Let’s see. I have to confirm that it’s strong, so I’ll only admit that it’s at least 5-star. If you don’t have it, just eat your last meal and leave.”

not me

I took out ingredients from my inventory and treasure bag.

It’s none other than…..

[The flesh of the Mestoca larvae]

-It’s soft!

– Among gourmets, it is regarded as a precious food ingredient.

The flesh I got on the 40th floor.

[Kraken’s Tentacles]

– Elastic texture!

– It’s a gooooo class ingredient.

– When processing the sinew inside, it can be made into a whip and arrow string.

The tentacles I picked up while climbing the 51st floor.

It was good to bring two just in case.

“This one!”

“This should be enough. I got it from 5- and 6-star monsters.”

“Keugh. I can’t help but admit it. But it’s not over yet!”

he spreads his hands

“If you cook, trim! What is your slaughter skill level!”

“It’s grade A.”

“Jae-en-jang!”

He raised his fist and bit his lip.

“That’s right. A cook shouldn’t be afraid of fire. How about the fire resistance skill?”

“It’s grade B.”

“haha! Will it only be grade B!”

That’s right.

I forgot. As I passed the 52nd floor, my fire resistance increased a lot. Was it up to level B, level 10?

I bought a coupon from the shop window and raised my rank.

While doing it, the lightning resistance is also upgraded to A grade.

“It’s Grade A now.”

“Aww!”

When I proudly shared the list of skill windows, he trembled.

“Gee Master! It’s ugly. Just admit it.”

“shut up! It’s a matter of pride! I’ve never given cooking skills so easy!”

“That is stubbornness. His size is distracting and his insides are small.”

“This guy!”

Nice Park Jae-kyung.

Helps while cooking in the kitchen.

My first impression was subtle, but the more I see it, the more I like it.

“Turn it off. what to do next right! If you’re serious about eating, there’s a dedicated tableware, right? can’t you? Ha ha ha ha ha! Looks like nothing!”

Seeing me frowning, Hegrik, who was elated, laughed heartily.

cool down

this really doesn’t exist When you buy a lunchbox, disposable tableware comes with it, so I don’t have anything else with me…..

Wait a minute.

there’s one

At first, I thought this was a reward.

[Spoon used by Ganian]

-The silver spoon favored by the hero Ganian Zahimus

-There are countless superstitions and jinxes for those who risk their lives.

-It’s an ordinary silver spoon, but not for Ganian.

A spoon obtained after completing Denium’s quest on the 48th floor.

Seeing that, Hegrick’s face went pale.

After staggering for a while, he collapsed into a chair.

“It can’t be… that’s ridiculous.”

“That makes sense.”

I didn’t know if I would be either.

I grabbed the things I had taken out and held out my hand.

“I want to cook, Master!”

“Mmmm!”

Hegrik groaned with his arms crossed as if in agony.

Let’s wait for a moment.

It’s not something that can be solved by pushing it from the side.

Whatever it is, the choice is up to him.

“The cooking is done. the master Don’t get stuck in the chair and get some soju.”

“Time! You left it to me!”

“I make something similar to Gamjatang. If you pour a glass of soju here, you will be stumped.”

Park Jae-kyung places a large pot on the table and points somewhere with his chin.

It must be where the soju is.

Did this mean that you could tear it off from your master?

As he said, the visual is similar to Gamjatang.

I didn’t expect to see this in the tower.

My saliva passed without my knowledge.

“Smells good.”

“Who made it? That’s it. ah! Aren’t you going to play accompaniment?”

“Look at the way I talk to my master!”

“Don’t hate it. Don’t regret it later.”

“Go go. you there! You haven’t decided yet, so don’t get excited.”

After giving me a warning for no reason, he leaves.

Park Jae-kyung, who was sitting in his seat, smiled.

“Are you interested in cooking?”

“I think I will need it.”

“That’s right. Go to sleep, Boss.”

He gestures for him to come closer.

The guy leaned down and glanced at the place where Hegrik had disappeared and whispered.

“That nobleman’s stubbornness is no joke. I don’t know how many times I skipped it. credentials? You’re messing around with all of that. There is no other way to be acknowledged.”

Knock!

He pretends to pass the drink.

“Since ancient times, cooking has its own thoughts. The master considers it a virtue to enjoy wine with food. I also gave him soju and became his disciple. I was on my way to the convenience store when I entered the tower.”

“That means…”

“Give me a good drink and calm me down. Because you are a nobleman who smells like alcohol.”

“I can hear everything you bastard!”

– Bahak!

“Oops, I caught someone!”

Hegrik, holding a bottle of soju in one hand, hits Park Jae-kyung on the head.

The sound is brutal.

The green bottle I haven’t seen in a long time.

Hegrik, who clicked his tongue briefly, carefully put the bottle down and glared at Jaekyung Park.

“Does the teacher look like a small man who wants to eat bean curd?”

“Right.”

“Mr. Kwak!”

Hum hem. Refreshing the atmosphere, he poured gamjatang into a bowl and asked insinuatingly.

“Even so, if you give me a drink that I like, I can pass it on with sincerity. This should be as precious as the liquor in another world.”

Well, from the point of view of NPCs, we must be people from another world.

It’s alcohol anyway.

There are some good things out there.

would this be

45th floor. A drink obtained from Chihirin.

[Fairy bee wine]

– An indispensable drink for fairy parties!

– If you just drink something sweet, will you get drunk right away?

– It became more precious as the fairy world perished.

“Would you like a drink?”

“Come on, disciple. Pour a full cup.”

[NPC Hegrick’s affinity has increased!]
