Chapter 284
Episode 284:
Roaring!
[You have succeeded in your quest!]
[You have succeeded in your quest!]
[You have succeeded in your quest!]
“There is only one left.”
The result of working diligently all night long!
If I only had to clear one quest, I would say goodbye to the Cloud Tree.
Big and small rewards as well as intimacy with village residents.
Pop! X hummed and collected fruit.
“got it? You shouldn’t let trivial things bother you. “Have you heard of the butterfly effect?”
“Butterfly effect? “What is that?”
“It’s a very cool saying that a butterfly’s small flapping wings can become a typhoon on the other side of the world! “Are you saying that these small good deeds might have great results later?”
Yongyong was brilliant.
It is natural to immediately understand the butterfly effect. The reason Yongyong tilted his head was simple.
“preceding? “The owner knows he’s doing it for compensation.”
“Good things are good things.”
Not only are the quest rewards not enough, but also expectations for the future! Yongyong saw through X’s shameless intentions.
“It’s over.”
After completing the fruit gathering quest, X returned to the cloud tree. I visited private homes, talked to residents, and received rewards.
“Thank you so much! “It’s nothing special, but please accept it.”
“I never thought I would kill a puffy cobra! You really have a great eye, don’t you think? “Thanks to you, I can go pick cotton starting today.”
Never ending gratitude.
X didn’t forget to check the rewards.
‘It’s a rare grade hunting knife. Plus, it increases yield?! This might be useful in its own way.’
Among the rewards, I liked the hunting knife made from cloud twigs. Now that we have completed the quest and replenishment of ingredients, it is time to head to our final destination, Rockstead.
Liglian took the lead.
“Let’s teleport to a city near Rockstead.”
“All right. “Have you been able to solve some of your worries for the first time in a while?”
“What is hoepo? I just sold memories. “I even gossiped a little bit about a guy behind his back.”
“Not me, right?”
Liglian laughed softly, making a bone noise. Ligrien talked about old times with Hokhra all night long.
X took one last look at the cloud tree.
‘Well, I gained more than I expected.’
A contract was signed with Hokra, and Yongyong learned new stats. In addition, he built up quite a bit of intimacy with the residents of Cloud Tree Village.
X lightly rolled his shoulders.
“I wouldn’t wish for it to work out this well at Rockstead as well.”
*
Arrive at the mountain village of Rockstead!
X caught a man he met at the entrance of the village.
A rough-looking young man pointed to a house with his finger.
“If you’re Enna, you live in a big house over there. But you’re probably collecting herbs in the mountains at this time, right?”
Enna.
She was the successor to Jasmine, who was the Gourmet King’s colleague. It was said that Jasmine was not a priest who served God, but was a sorceress with excellent healing skills.
Liglian added a description of her.
“The reason why Jasmine was so good was because of potions. She had a great ability to manipulate and utilize nature. “The potions she created brought out our full potential.”
portion!
‘…I smell money!’
X smelled gold there.
How expensive and ineffective is a potion item? In particular, the vitality mana recovery potion was the best.
X checked the auction house.
[High-level mana recovery potion]
45 gold ~ 48 gold
[Low-level mana recovery potion]
2 gold ~ 3 gold
Shocking prices!
“You can eat spices for a long time.”
Once you take the potion, you’re done.
However, there were many players with overflowing gold, and there were also many players who wanted to beat monsters at a faster rate.
X’s mind began to turn golden.
‘What if I could learn how to make potions from Enna?’
Of course, making potions is not easy.
Not only are the materials expensive, but only among players are able to make high-level potions.
But doesn’t X have heavenly taste?
‘If there is such a thing as food with skill like in Kalon or Simaseo…’
Mastery Mastery!
You will be able to learn how to make a potion that can literally sweep up gold.
After drinking his fill of kimchi soup, X waited for Enna at Rockstead Square. Of course, I didn’t waste my time.
“Is there anything I can do to help?”
“Are you looking for a job? So how about helping with logging? “I heard there’s a shortage of workers because my hand was injured.”
“Logging? “How do you know that my nickname is Xernis Double Axe?”
I won’t miss the little things! X worked his tongue diligently and accepted the quest.
Enna, whom X had been anxiously waiting for, appeared in Rockstead around sunset.
Enna seemed to notice the unusual stranger and his strange outfit right away.
Enna made eye contact with X.
“…You’re telling me to follow you in, right?”
“I think they glared at you because you were loud.”
“It is Mr. Ligrien’s personal opinion.”
Ex and Liglian headed to Enna’s house.
smart.
When I knocked on the door, Enna answered.
“Are these people who came through Mr. Calon’s introduction?”
“Yes, my name is X.”
“…Come on in.”
Squeak.
When the door opened, I saw numerous potion bottles displayed in the house. Even at first glance, the colors of the liquids contained were unusual.
These were potions that players would have gone to great lengths to scoop up if they had seen them.
Liglian muttered.
“It seems like the residents didn’t appreciate it.”
“No one in a rural village like this is engaged in life-threatening battles. “I think it’s actually good to be able to study comfortably without worrying about what’s going on.”
“Hehe. “You have the same stubborn thoughts as Jasmine.”
“…Do you know my teacher?”
Chellang-challang.
Liglian shook the potion bottle and revealed what happened with Jasmine. Enna seemed to have heard something, and was very happy to see Liglian.
“It was Ligrien! “I’m sorry for the late greeting.”
“Does not matter. “It would be strange to find out.”
Good words come and go.
Meanwhile, X was freaking out. Information that comes to mind at the slightest touch.
-Amplification Frost (Unique)
A potion with floating mana crystals.
It was made with delicate workmanship.
Special Effect: Mana regeneration is increased by an additional 300 percent for 3 hours.
– Seed of Recovery (Unique)
A potion with floating life crystals.
It was made with delicate workmanship.
Special Effect: Increases health regeneration by an additional 300 percent for 3 hours.
“…crazy.”
It’s worth asking for something like this.
Effects obtained through skills, potions, and buffs are applied separately.
In addition, potions that restore vitality and mana are common, but potions that increase regeneration itself are difficult to find.
‘What’s more, only really rich people will buy these things.’
These potions are likely to cost hundreds of gold even if you don’t use them.
Enna smiled at the surprised X.
“So this is you, the heir to the Gourmet King?”
“yes? Yes, it’s called X.”
“Xra. “Hehe, it’s a good time.”
Why are you suddenly sounding like an old man? X was puzzled. That was because Enna seemed to be the same age as herself.
However, none of the Gourmet King’s colleagues are ordinary.
Enna smiled brightly and revealed the secret.
“Let’s see, if I had gotten married, I would have had a grandson like X.”
*
A witch who never ages!
This was the reason why Enna settled in the mountain village of Rockstead.
“Even if you lie about your age, there are limits. Even though we all grow old, I am always the same. Moreover, as you can see, the house is full of strange medicine bottles.”
It seemed like it could be possible.
Anyway, it was natural to be curious. How can an ordinary human stay young?
Enna’s answer was very simple.
“Hmm, maybe it’s because I eat healthily?”
“Eat healthy? “What does that mean?”
“It means eating only what nature provides.”
Tsk.
X quenched his appetite.
For some reason, just hearing the story didn’t seem like it would taste good. It seemed like it was a habit I learned from Jasmine.
Grumbling.
Liglian’s jaw shook.
“I can’t forget the taste of that strange green juice. No matter how much you can maintain your health and youth, it is too much. “It was so bitter that I couldn’t swallow it.”
“But after holding on and drinking a few times, I felt better.”
“Tsk, I don’t want to force myself to be healthy. Look, didn’t I, who lived as I please, live longer than Jasmine, who was forced to eat food?”
Isn’t it against the law to become undead? X held back the words that rose to the tip of his chin.
Because I was more interested in Enna’s green juice than in the argument with Liglian. X’s black insides began to squirm.
‘I can sweep up gold to the extent of telling the potion to go away!’
The elixir of youth!
No matter how high the price was, it was clear that it would sell like crazy.
From what I heard, the ingredients weren’t as expensive as potions. It’s just an ordinary green juice.
After making his decision, X quickly opened his mouth.
“I’m sorry for saying this, but I eat just about anything. So, can I have a glass of that green juice? My joints seem to be aching lately…”
“Hehe, of course.”
Enna stood up immediately. I went to the production table and picked up some commonly found vegetables.
X carefully examined the ingredients out of the corner of his eye.
‘Even if it’s ordinary, it’s too ordinary?’
Moreover, the recipe simply involves chopping the ingredients and squeezing out the moisture. Soon, X accepted the finished green juice.
A healthy scent that can be felt through the nose. You will know the effect when you try it.
“Then let’s drink it.”
“I’ll bet you 1 silver that he spits it out right away.”
“What do you think of me?”
No matter how bitter the green juice was, X was confident.
Heavenly taste!
Because I had a deceptive appetite that made everything feel like it was the best.
gulp.
“…!!”
However, the face of X, who drank green juice with confidence, did not look good.
The green juice tasted bitter.
Because each vegetable was alive, I could only taste the original taste of the vegetables I had eaten countless times.
But that wasn’t why X was surprised.
Tiroling!
A notification rings in my ears.
[The fantasy begins!]
‘…I’m a fantasy out of nowhere?’
For some reason, memories of the Gourmet King came to mind.
*
In the forest.
The back of the gourmet king seen right in front of you. X, who came to his senses, stuttered for a reason.
‘what? Did the green juice make you dream?
X shook his head. Green juice may be able to give you skills, but it doesn’t seem like it will be able to conjure up your fantasy of becoming a gourmet king.
The only thing that brought to mind the fantasy of the Gourmet King was the Gourmet King’s recipe. Then there is only one possibility.
‘Perhaps your heavenly taste feels bitter…?’
It’s the first bitter taste I’ve felt since I started playing Fate! Of course, I couldn’t be sure.
In any case, now it was necessary to understand the situation rather than the cause. For now, X decided to watch what the Gourmet King was doing.
The Gourmet King was looking at the apple tree in front of him.
It’s been a while since I heard the voice of the king of gourmet.
“long time no see.”
Is this guy talking to a tree right now? X was shocked for a moment.
The Gourmet King stretched out his hand toward the apple.
“…long time no see.”
The loneliness dripped from his voice. X couldn’t hide his embarrassment.
‘Why are you acting like that while eating just one apple?’
The Gourmet King stared at the apples he had picked. His eyes seemed somehow empty.
For a moment, X wondered if there was a secret related to the apple tree.
‘I guess it’s not an ordinary apple tree.’
So, where on earth is this place? I thought I could at least find the apple tree if I knew its location.
The moment X was about to look around, a sobbing voice followed.
X couldn’t believe his eyes.
“…Okay, there’s nothing I can do.”
Because small water droplets were flowing down the Gourmet King’s cheeks.
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
